The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) repressor (AhRR) gene has been isolated and characterized from a mouse genomic library. is distributed as 11 exons in total length of about 60 kilobase pairs. Fluorescence <i>in situ</i> hybridization analysis shown that the AhRR located at chromosome 13C2, rat 1p11.2, human 5p15.3. TATA-less promoter several transcription start sites. In addition, putative regulatory DNA sequences such xenobiotic responsive element (XRE), GC box, NF-κB-binding sites have...
Internet-based cognitive-behavioural therapy (iCBT) is effective for subthreshold depression. However, which skills provided in iCBT packages are more than others unclear. Such knowledge can inform construction of and efficient programmes.
Abstract Background Burnout and depression among medical students is linked to serious problems that require appropriate solutions. Subthreshold autism traits or autistic-like (ALTs) may be possible factors associated with burnout depression. The effectiveness of acceptance commitment therapy (ACT) for has been widely reported. treatment aims improve psychological flexibility, a concept indicating engagement in personal value-based behaviors without avoiding uncomfortable private...
Tendons are connective tissues that join muscles and bones rich in glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Decorin is a proteoglycan with one dermatan sulfate (DS) or chondroitin (CS) chain (a type of GAG) attached to its core protein involved regulating the assembly collagen fibrils tendon extracellular matrix (ECM). Calcium-activated nucleotidase 1 (CANT1), hydrolyzes uridine diphosphate into monophosphate phosphate, plays an important role GAG synthesis cartilage. In present study, we performed...
Frequent amplification of DNA at 20q or part has been demonstrated by comparative genomic hybridization in ovarian cancer (OC), but the genetic target(s) these events remain unknown. We examined copy‐number changes with respect to six candidate genes, E2F1 (20q11.2), TGIF2 AIB1 (20q12), PTPN1 (20q13.1), ZNF217 (20q13.2), and BTAK (20q13), then measured transcription levels each 18 OC cell lines. Three distinct cores were identified: 20q11.2, harboring (region I; 1 lines, 5.6%); 20q13.1, II;...
Background: When residents are confronted with disaster, it is often difficult for them to realize the danger and take protective action. In 2004, an evacuation advisory alert was issued on approach of season's 23rd typhoon in Japan, but only 5.1% actually evacuated. Therefore, we felt necessary elucidate awareness behaviours during period. Aims: To clarify awareness, behaviour related factors who were 2004 typhoon. Methods: One questionnaire per one household distributed 2818 households...
Abstract Ovarian Sertoli‐Leydig cell tumors (SLCT) are rare sex cord stromal neoplasms. To date there have been approximately 25 case reports of ovarian SLCT expressing alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP). In such cases, AFP was immunohistochemically detected in the Sertoli cells, Leydig or hepatocytes. This report confirms heterologous gastrointestinal epithelium expression AFP. A 20‐year‐old woman presented with complaints abdominal enlargement and irregular menstrual cycles over one year. right tumor...
Internet-cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) for depression can include multiple components. This study explored depressive symptom improvement prognostic factors (PFs) and effect modifiers (EMs) five common iCBT components including activation, cognitive restructuring, problem solving, self-monitoring, assertion training. We used data from a factorial trial of subthreshold among Japanese university students (N = 1093). The primary outcome was the change in PHQ-9 scores at 8 weeks baseline....
Abstract Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was reported to have increased depression among university students which associated with impairments in their campus lives. This study examined changes depressive states Japanese during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods A secondary data analysis from a factorial randomized controlled trial involving smartphone-based cognitive-behavioral therapy performed. Six cohorts ( N = 1626) underwent an 8-week intervention spring or...
Effects of the collagen oligopeptide (COP) were examined by its repeat injection into inflammatory rabbit Achilles tendon (Tendo calcaneus communis), in which tenositis was induced bacterial collagenase. COP evaluated 5 times over a period 3 weeks to 1 month after At treatment, therapeutic effect examining structure fibrils, amount and components glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), compared with saline injection, control, normal groups. The control group (no...
This study aimed to investigate the associations of traits autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) with depression empathy among medical students.A cross-sectional survey was conducted 202 fifth-year students at a Japanese school for 10 months during their clinical clerkship. The included sociodemographic questions validated tools measure depressive symptoms (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale [HADS]), students' patients (Jefferson Empathy-Student version...
The Japanese Big Five Scale Short Form (JBFS-SF), a 29-item self-report scale, has recently been used to measure the personality traits. However, scale lacks psychometric validation. This study examined validity and reliability of JBFS-SF with data collected from 1,626 university students participating in randomized controlled clinical trial. Structural was tested exploratory confirmatory factor analysis measurement invariance tests were conducted across sex. Internal consistency evaluated...
Abstract The ovarian bursa is a small peritoneal cavity enclosed by the mesovarium and mesosalpinx, which surrounds ovaries oviductal infundibulum in mammals. considered as structure facilitating transport of ovulated oocytes into oviduct. Our previous study revealed reduced oocyte pick‐up function oviduct lupus‐prone MRL/MpJ‐Fas lpr / mouse, suggesting possibility an escape cavity, despite presence almost complete mouse. In this study, we anatomical histological characteristics C57BL/6 N,...

Although electroencephalogram (EEG) seizure duration and threshold change during a course of electroconvulsive therapy, the mechanisms by which these factors influence heart rate subsequent therapy sessions are currently unclear. In current study, we investigated changes in therapy.We recorded electroencephalography electrocardiography 12 patients with major depressive disorder. Baseline was defined as mean 30 seconds prior to stimulus onset. The TimeMax peak refers maximum after Time1/2...
Electrocardiogram abnormalities have been reported during electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). A corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation indicates delayed ventricular repolarization, which can trigger arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes (TdP). We examined the QTc changes generalized tonic-clonic seizures induced by ECT, and effects of atropine sulfate on these changes.We analyzed heart rate, interval, in 32 patients with depression who underwent ECT (25 women, 67.4 ± 8.7 years age). The from...
A new method of colorimetric determination uric acid, using uricase and catalase is reported. This based on the combination enzyme reactions procedure with 4-amino-3-hydrazino-1, 2, 4-triazole, a highly sensitive reagent for formaldehyde. The color developed in straight line passing through original point at least within absorbance unit 1.5 550 nm, corresponding to 16 mg/dl acid concentration sample.
ABSTRACT Caudal autotomy in rodents is an evolutionarily acquired phenomenon enabling escape from predators, by discarding the tail skin after traumatic injuries. The histological mechanisms underlying caudal seem to differ among species. Cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus), which are important laboratory for human infectious diseases, possess a fragile tail. In this study, we compared histology of cotton with that (Rattus norvegicus), have no fragility on their tail, elucidate process rodent...
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is known to increase a variety of psychiatric disorders, including major depressive (MDD). Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) has been reported be an effective psychotherapy for MDD. However, this not the case with ASD. In study, based on hypothesis that it in treating MDD ASD, we adapted ACT Matrix, tool visualizing individual’s experiences context ACT, administered 15 sessions woman ASD following onset photo dermatosis. By end final session, there was...
