A recent survey of 79 countries showed that fertility knowledge was lower in Japan than any other developed country. Given the decline and importance knowledge, we conducted an online to examine related factors for effective public education. We studied people aged 18-59 years old, n = 4,328 (the “General” group), also who had been trying conceive at least six months, 18-50 618 “Triers” group).

What are the effects of fertility education on knowledge, childbearing desires and anxiety?
Abstract Many recent societal trends have led to the need for fertility education, including age at which individuals become parents, development of new reproductive technologies, and family diversity.

We...
High cesarean section (CS) rates in middle and high-income countries are partly attributable to provider factors, such as staffing patterns fear of litigation. However, the relationship between CS healthcare resources community is poorly understood. Official data on has been particularly limited Japan. In this study, we examined nationwide statistics evaluated association with local for perinatal care.We used accumulated registered Japan National Database health insurance claims 2013...
Aim Japan lacks a population‐based registration system for cerebral palsy ( CP ), therefore the nationwide prevalence of is unknown. Our aim was to estimate number children with using National Database Health Insurance Claims and Specific Checkups Japan, which has been recently developed by government. Method Study participants were adolescents aged below 20 years, who had assigned diagnosis codes more than once in claims issued between June 2012 May 2013 from all health insurance schemes...
L-cysteine is an important amino acid in terms of its industrial applications. We previously found a marked production from glucose recombinant Escherichia coli cells expressing altered cysE gene encoding feedback inhibition-insensitive serine acetyltransferase. Also, lower level cysteine desulfhydrase (CD) activity, which involved degradation, increased productivity E. coli. The use efflux system could be promising for breeding overproducers. In addition to YdeD and YfiK, have been reported...
What are the long-term effects of fertility education on knowledge and reproductive outcome? Participants in intervention group retained some after 2 years partnered women had a new child more quickly than comparison group. Fertility improves knowledge, at least short-term. Attitudes toward childbearing its timing can change exposure to educational materials. were recruited via an online social research panel. In original randomized controlled trial (RCT), reproductive-aged participants was...
Despite the huge burden of domestic work on women in Japan, its effects their health have been poorly investigated. We aimed to assess association between stress and self-rated psychological among women.We conducted a cross-sectional survey using an online social research panel February 2018.

Abstract Aim Due to the lack of national perinatal registries, population‐wide descriptive statistics on cesarean deliveries in Japan are unknown. We aim describe for overall and multiple pregnancies using National Database health insurance claims. Methods calculated prefectural delivery rates 2014. described maternal morbidities (e.g., blood transfusion) place type institutions providing prenatal care. Results The were 18.6% 82.7% women with pregnancies. Prefectural varied from 12.5% 24.2%...
In this study, we found that two sesquiterpene lactones, isobutyroylplenolin and arnicolide D, from Centipeda minima L. (Compositae) exerted stronger cytotoxic activity than cisplatin on the human colon carcinoma HT-29 cell line. Furthermore, cytotoxicity of these compounds normal cells was weaker cisplatin. Treatment with D increased levels intracellular reactive oxygen species decreased nuclear factor-κB protein, resulting in cycle arrest G1 phase apoptosis. We also discuss difference...
To determine whether esophagectomy provides a survival advantage in octogenarians with resectable thoracic esophageal cancer.Elderly patients cancer do not always receive the full standard treatment; however, advanced age alone should preclude use of effective treatment that could meaningfully improve survival.We retrieved 2008 to 2011 data from National Database Hospital-based Cancer Registries Centerin Japan, divided into ≥75 group (75-79 years; n = 2935) and ≥80 (80 years or older; 2131),...
Most so-called “beneficial bacteria” in gut microbiota are Gram-positive, and TLR6 recognizes the peptidoglycan (PGN) present their cell walls. We hypothesized that a high expression status predicts more favorable prognosis after esophagectomy. used an ESCC tissue microarray (TMA) to examine patients determine whether correlates with curative also examined PGN influences proliferation activity of lines. Clinical samples from 177 tested for were categorized as 3+ (n = 17), 2+ 48), 1+ 68), or...
