The prevalence of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in the general child population is still largely unknown and validated screening instruments are lacking. aims this study were (1) to investigate children positive for ARFID a Japanese birth cohort using newly developed parent-reported tool, (2) estimate with experiencing physical versus psychosocial consequences their eating pattern, (3) provide preliminary evidence validity new tool. Data collected from 3728 4-7-year-old...
Limonene is one of the main flavonoids which reported to inhibit inflammatory response by suppressing production reactive oxygen species. The aim this study was evaluate whether limonene can Dermatophagoides farinae-induced airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), eosinophilic infiltration and other histological changes in lung, T helper (Th) 2 cytokine remodeling a mice model asthma. Treatment with significantly reduced levels IL-5, IL-13, eotaxin, MCP-1, TGF-β1 bronchoalveolar lavage fluid....
Workplace violence towards Congolese health care workers: A survey of 436 healthcare facilities in Katanga province, Democratic Republic Congo: Basilua Andre MUZEMBO, et al . Division Social Medicine, Department Environmental Kochi Medical School, University— Objectives The aim this study was to investigate workplace by patients or their relatives health‐care workers hospitals. Methods Through the autumn 2012, a cross‐sectional on conducted sample 2,210 registered (989 males and 1,221...
An overrepresentation of neurodevelopmental problems (NDPs) has been observed in individuals with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Previous studies on the association between ARFID and NDPs have limited by cross-sectional data from clinical samples small size. This study aimed to extend previous research using prospectively collected a non-clinical child cohort. We examined occurrence early 4-7-year-old children suspected how predictive are ARFID.
Postpartum depression is one of the major causes disability among women who are on their childbearing years. Identifying people at risk postpartum may improve its management. The objective this study was to determine probable association between and some preconception gynecological morbidities. Data from a nationwide birth cohort study, Japan Environment Children's (JECS), up month were analyzed. To assess depression, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) used; 11 morbidities...
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by pruritic and ec- zematous lesions. In this study, AD-like was induced in NC/Nga mice so as to evaluate the antiallergic effects of Vernonia amygdalina leaf extracts (VAM). Methods: Forty were purchased for each two protocols (prophylactic curative) study. Mice randomly divided groups five or six after sensitization with 5% trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB): aqueous (VAM1), methanolic (VAM2), hydrocortisone...
Road-traffic emissions (RTE) induce adverse health effects, notably respiratory symptoms and diseases, as a result of pollutants deposited into the tract. The aim this study was to evaluate association between occupation groups Congolese transit workers exposed RTE, particularly bus conductors health, in Kinshasa.A cross-sectional conducted from 2015 April 20th May 14th, whose participants were (n = 110), drivers 107), taxi-motorcyclists 102) high school teachers (control group; n 106)....
The impact of maternal mental illness on children's neurodevelopment has been insufficiently investigated, particularly in large populations. In this study, we examined the association between health history and child during first 3 years postpartum, using large-scale data from Japan Environment Children's Study (JECS). We analyzed 64,389 mother-offspring pairs enrolled JECS. Maternal was assessed questionnaires administered early pregnancy. Child at ages 1, 2, by mothers or guardians...

However, malnutrition a serious problem among elderly, particularly elderly living in rural areas many developing countries. The aim present study was to carry out cross‐sectional city Luozi, Democratic Republic Congo, through use long short forms Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) scale. Methods: We carried facing socioeconomic problems as result wartime conditions country. included 370 volunteer...
Nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (NVP) is considered to be associated with favorable fetal outcomes, such as a decreased risk for spontaneous abortion. However, the relationship between NVP preterm births remains unknown. This study was conducted evaluate association of births. The dataset birth cohort study, Japan Environment Children's Study (JECS), retrospectively reviewed. Participants' experience prior 12 gestational weeks were evaluated by questionnaire administered from 22 1 month...
Nucleosomes around the promoter region are disassembled for transcription in response to various signals, such as acetylation and methylation of histones. Although interactions between histone-acetylation-recognizing bromodomains factors involved nucleosome disassembly have been reported, no structural basis connecting histone modifications has obtained. Here, we determined at 3.3 Å resolution crystal structure chaperone cell cycle gene 1 (CCG1) interacting factor A/antisilencing function...
