Radiocaesium introduced to coastal waters by the accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station (F1NPS) elevated the radioactivity level in biota. The radionuclide level in zooplankton, concentration of Cs radioactivity in surface water fish decreased rapidly, which was the primary food source for planktivorous fish, was recognized as not to be depurated at the same level prior to the accident. To evaluate the possible cause of this phenomenon, zooplankton and surface water fish were collected off Fukushima during 2018-2021, and the presence of radioactive particles was also examined.

Periostin is known to be involved in airway remodeling and is also associated with various otolaryngological diseases. D-β-aspartic acid is the major isomer of D-aspartic acid found in tissues of elderly individuals.

To clarify the likely reasons, a caesium metabolic rate in the Japanese rockfish Sebastes cheni was derived by an aquarium experiment of live fish collected from the area off Fukushima. Stable caesium and Cs concentration in prey organisms, stomach contents and muscle of rockfish were measured and the bioavailable fraction in prey organisms was evaluated.

- Parotid tumors can be benign or malignant, with various histological features; this study focused on benign tumors, including pleomorphic adenomas and Warthin's tumors.
- The research involved 36 patients (mean age 59.2) who underwent tumor resection, assessing the expression of periostin, an extracellular matrix protein, in their tumor samples.
- Results showed that 84.2% of the benign tumors exhibited increased periostin expression, indicating potential involvement in tumor development and suggesting periostin as a new biomarker for these tumors.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examined how long-term voice abuse or sudden injury affects the vocal fold mucosa and focused on the roles of CD31, CD34, and periostin in vocal fold polyp formation.
- - Histopathological analysis of 57 vocal fold polyp samples revealed that CD31 and CD34 were expressed in 71.9% and 93% of samples, respectively, while periostin was found in 71.9% of samples, indicating their involvement in polyp development.
- - The research identified different patterns of marker expression associated with specific histological subtypes of vocal fold polyps, suggesting that these vascular endothelial markers could aid in staging the condition.
