This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of parent-infant interaction, parental depressive symptoms, and parenting stress in the context of infants’ autistic behaviors. We employed a cross-sectional, case-control observational design with a case group of 52 parents and a control group of 56 parents. We measured parent-infant interaction using the Japanese version of the Nursing Child Assessment Teaching Scale, and parental depressive symptoms and parenting stress with the Japanese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale and the Japanese Parenting Stress Index Short Form, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding parent-infant interaction. Mothers in the case group had significantly higher depressive symptoms than those in the control group (p < .05). Both fathers (p < .05) and mothers (p < .01) in the case group scored significantly higher than the control group on parenting stress. Thus, parents of infants with autistic behaviors have greater mental health problems right from infancy. We suggest that nurses should provide families with appropriate support to promote adaptive parent-infant interaction and prevent the aggravation of parental mental health problems irrespective of Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnoses.","PeriodicalId":39643,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences","volume":"67 1","pages":"31-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64012037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No suitable entity or typical adenocarcinoma with mucin has been established, and only two variants exist: invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) and colloid adenocarcinoma. To obtain basic data toward appro priate classification, we sought to study the characterization of adenocarcinoma with mucin production based on criteria that account for both cytoplasmic and glandular mucin, as well as a mucin lake. EGFR and KRAS mutations and protein expression of TTF-1 and HNF4a were examined in 90 cases extracted from 748 consecutive adenocarcinomas. Among the 90 tumors, 14 were IMAs, and 76 were not. The non-IMA group had fewer mucin lakes (74%), more moderately/poorly differentiated tumors (57%), more EGFR (26%) mutations and fewer KRAS (34%) mutations than the IMA group. Interestingly, the tumors were divided into the three subtypes, TTF-1-positive, HNF4apositive and double-negative, almost exclusively. In conclusion, with the use of wider criteria for mucin production, as well as driver mutations and transcription factor expression, we may be able to establish criteria for adenocarcinomas with mucin, which may lead to the more appropriate classification of mucinous adenocarcinoma in the future.","PeriodicalId":39643,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences","volume":"66 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64011887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We investigated the possibility of increasing the current maximum volume of platelet apheresis donation (PA) to the current maximum volume of plasmapheresis donation (PP), without changing the maximum number of platelets collected. We analyzed PA and PP anonymized data (675,406 donors) according to gender. The incidence of initial overall side effects (side effects 1), vasovagal reaction (VVR), and non-VVR were compared according to age, body weight and measured volume at each donor group using the independence test (by the chi-squared or Fisher’s exact test). Side effects were neither significantly different nor relatively high in donors both aged 30-69 years with weighing 65<70kg in male apheresis donors and aged 25-54 years with weighing 55-<70kg in female apheresis donors. It seems there is the possibility that the both maximum volume of male PA aged 30-69 years with weighing 65-<70 kg and female PA aged 25-54 years with weighing 55-<70 kg can be considered to increase as the subject sample on a trial basis. We expect this increase will make the risks of having fewer donors in the future reduced.

Grape seed extract (GSE), a rich source of proanthocyanidins, has beneficial effects on low-grade inflammatory diseases in a high-fat diet-induced obesity model and therefore is a candidate to improve postmenopausal metabolic abnormalities. In the present study, the effects of dietary GSE on body weight and glucose tolerance were examined in ovariectomized (OVX) mice. Female C57BL6/J mice underwent ovariectomy or a sham operation, and OVX mice were orally administered GSE (100 mg/ kg B.W.) or the vehicle solution (OVX+V). Mice in the OVX+V group weighed significantly more than mice in the Sham group. Body weight was significantly lower in the OVX+GSE group than in the OVX+V group. The weights of subcutaneous white adipose tissue (WAT) and visceral WAT were significantly lower in the OVX+GSE group than in the OVX+V group. In glucose tolerance tests, OVX+GSE mice showed significantly lower blood glucose levels at 30 min and 60 min than those in OVX+V mice. In conclusion, we demonstrated that GSE prevents metabolic disorders, such as obesity and glucose intolerance, in OVX mice. These results support the potential therapeutic applications of GSE in postmenopausal women.","PeriodicalId":39643,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical and Dental Sciences","volume":"65 1","pages":"45-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.11480/JMDS.650201","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64011704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
