To examine an association between self-reported sleep quality determined by Pittsburgh index (PSQI) and metabolic syndrome. This study was designed as cross-sectional study. Participants were 1481 adults aged 20 years above from general population (549 males 932 females). We assessed the global PSQI. PSQI consists of 7 elements, i.e. subjective quality, latency (prolonged onset time), duration, habitual efficiency (proportion hours slept to spent in bed), disturbance (interruption sleep),...
Due to the likelihood of physical and mental health impacts following unprecedented accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant, prefectural government decided conduct Health Management Survey assist in long-term management residents. This included thyroid ultrasound examination for all children Fukushima. For appropriate evaluation screening thyroid, it is important understand its reference data findings general. In order analyze frequencies specific findings, we conducted by same...
Sleep disturbances frequently accompany chronic pain from osteoarthritis (OA). Effective management of sleep may require successful treatment pain, a key factor in the clinical evaluation knee OA. However, relationship between severity OA and quality is unclear. Our purpose was to correlate prevalence nocturnal with different levels determine its influence on quality.Subjects included 1,214 local volunteers mean ± SD age 58.1 13.0 years. The existence were determined by Kellgren/Lawrence...
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between subjective memory complaints (SMC) and sex.We researched prevalence SMC in a sample 394 participants who were at least 60 years age (138 male 256 female). We also administered Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) scale. A multiple logistic regression analysis, which included with MMSE or CES-D scores other confounding factors, performed determine influence sex on SMC. P-value...
Studies of the associations between diet and depression have primarily focused on single nutrients or foods. Recently, dietary patterns representing a combination foods attracted more interest than individual nutrient. The objective this study was to examine association depressive symptoms among community-dwelling population in Japan. We examined risk 791 Japanese individuals. Diet assessed with validated brief-type self-administered history questionnaire (BDHQ). Dietary from 52 predefined...
Various cardiovascular diseases cause acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS), which is characterized by a decrease in high-molecular-weight (large) factor (VWF) multimers. Mitral regurgitation (MR) has been reported as of AVWS. However, much remains unclear about AVWS associated with MR.
ABSTRACT We assessed the association of neutrophil function with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in a Japanese general population. Participants were 809 males and females who over 20 years old living Iwaki region Aomori Prefecture located northern Japan. Lifestyle parameters (smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise habits), HbA1c such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) production capability phagocytic activity (PA) measured. ROS was measured before after stimulus to obtain basal stimulated...
Abstract We conducted ultrasound thyroid screening in cohort of 4,365 children aged between 3 to 18 years three Japanese prefectures (Aomori, Yamanashi and Nagasaki) using the same procedures as used Fukushima Health Survey. Forty-four had nodules ≥ 5.1 mm diameter or cysts 20.1 detected at first 31 these underwent second follow-up survey. collected information from examinations final clinical diagnoses re-categorized findings after examination. Twenty examination; these, one child was...
Background: Severe aortic stenosis (AS) causes acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) by the excessive shear-stress-dependent cleavage of high molecular weight multimers factor (VWF).While current standard diagnostic method is so-called VWF multimer analysis that western blotting under non-reducing conditions, it remains unclear whether a ratio ristocetin co-factor activity (VWF:RCo) to antigen levels (VWF:Ag) <0.7, which can be measured with an automated coagulation analyzer in clinical...
Background: von Willebrand factors (vWFs), hemostatic factors, are produced as large multimers and shear stress-dependently cleaved to become the appropriate size. A reduction in vWF develops various conditions including use of extracorporeal life support, which can cause excessive-high stress blood flow result disorders. The objective this prospective study was investigate impact venovenous membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) on status disorders during single lung transplantation (SLT). Methods:...
The purpose of this study was to clarify the association between dietary patterns and cognitive function in a community-dwelling population Japan. A total 388 volunteers (60 years older) who participated Iwaki Health Promotion Project 2011 were recruited. Diet assessed with validated, self-administered brief-type diet history questionnaire. Dietary extracted from 52 predefined food groups by principal component analysis. Mini-Mental State Examination also used measure global status. Three...

ABSTRACT The concept of peaking ensures that athletes have trained to attain their absolute peak performance levels prior a competition. This study investigates the effects on functions neutrophils and lymphocytes in university soccer players during five‐day training camp followed by two weeks tapering. subjects were 22 who members club. We carried out our investigation after (i.e. tapering period). measured body composition, immune‐related parameters (leukocyte count, neutrophil lymphocyte...
5) Abstract In recent years Lactobacillales in gut microbiota have been suggested to be association with obesity. The aim of this study was investigate a relationship among obesity serum cholesterol and Japanese community inhabitants. Subjects included 613 inhabitants (249 males 364 females) who participated the Iwaki Health Promotion Project 2007. mircofl ora extracted from faeces were investigated using terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T‑RFLP) method allocated 28...
Introduction: Screening tools for dementia should be valid and easy to complete have a low psychological burden. Consistent with these principles, the Yamaguchi fox/pigeon-imitation test (YFPIT) has been developed. However, there is little information on utility of YFPIT preclinical populations, although detection proven prodromal states important. Materials methods: We recruited 392 volunteers who were at least 60 years old (139 men 253 women) had participated in Iwaki Health Promotion...
Thermal sprayed ceramic coating system consists of top coat (TC), bond (BC), and substrate. Mechanical properties the TC differ from those bulk due to micro cracks voids in coating. A stress-strain constitutive equation is one most important mechanical for stress analysis system. However, case evaluation methods using a freestanding coating, specimen breaks at quite low strain because rapid crack propagation. On other hand, specimen, substrate prevents fracture, hence up high obtainable. All...
In order to assess 6‑month periodisation of top university ekiden runner the changes muscle fatigue and immune functions 17 male runners were investigated in each training period. The investigation was carried out during normal period (6 months before race) after intensive camp (3 or 4 at start conditioning (one month end (10 days . Investigation parameters myogenic enzymes serum opsonic activity (SOA) superoxide dismutase (SOD) Neither levels nor immunoglobulins complements showed any...
<h3>Background</h3> Among the thumb deformities observed in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), boutonnière are most common and account for 70% of all present. However, it is difficult to determine proper timing interventions due progressive limitations range motion (ROM) instability joints these patients. <h3>Objectives</h3> We hypothesized that ROM limitation above a certain level would result functional hand deficiencies. In this study, we assessed function joint patients having arthritis-related...
