Three new deep-water species of Bebryce from Japan are described and depicted using Scanning Electron Microscopy: Bebryce otsuchiensis sp. n., Bebryce rotunda sp. n., and Bebryce satsumaensis sp. n. Bebryce studeri Whitelegge, 1897, was reported from Japanese waters for the first time, bringing the total of Japanese Bebryce species to six. Five of these six species seem to be endemic to Japanese waters and all occur in deep water up to 213 m. A key to the Bebryce species is presented.

Background: Despite accumulating evidence and recommendations for management of colonic diverticular bleeding (CDB), the changes in its clinical management and outcomes remain unknown.

Methods: We performed a retrospective tendency analysis on a biennial basis, a propensity score-matched cohort study between the first and latter half groups, and mediation analyses to compare the diagnostic and treatment methods between January 2010 and December 2019 (CODE BLUE-J Study).

Results: A total of 6575 patients with CDB were included.

[Impacts of freeze-thaw process on soil microbial nutrient limitation in slope farmlands of the Chinese Mollisol region].

Understanding the impacts of freeze-thaw action on soil microbial nutrient limitation can provide important support for sustainable utilization of black soil resources. We analyzed the impacts of freeze-thaw action on soil microbial nutrient limitation on a slope farmland located in a typical thick Mollisol region of Keshan County, Heilongjiang Province. We examined the responses of soil microbial nutrient limitation to soil erosion rates through measuring soil nutrient, soil microbial biomass, and soil enzyme activities before and after freeze-thaw under natural conditions, and estimated the soil erosion rates by Cs tracing technology.

In the context of increasing pollution pressure on aquatic ecosystems, it is essential to improve our knowledge of habitat quality and its suitability for organisms. It is particularly relevant to better integrate early life stages of fish into pollution biomonitoring programs, as they are reliable indicators of ecosystem integrity and because of their high sensitivity to pollutants. To avoid the influence of environmental parameters on their development, a lab-on-field approach, called the ex-situ exposure method, was developed.

Fish environmental RNA sequencing sensitively captures accumulative stress responses through short-term aquarium sampling.

The utility of environmental RNA (eRNA) in capturing biological responses to stresses has been discussed previously; however, the limited number of genes detected remains a significant hindrance to its widespread implementation. Here, we investigated the potential of eRNA to assess the health status of Japanese medaka fish exposed to linear alkylbenzene sulfonate. Analyzing eRNA and organismal RNA (oRNA) in aquarium water within 12 h, we achieved high mapping rates and 10 times more differentially expressed genes than previously reported.

We carefully reviewed and evaluated the efficacy of transurethral water vapor energy therapy (WAVE) with Rezumᵀᴹ system for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Between April and September 2023, 41 patients received WAVE under local anesthesia as day surgery at the outpatient department in our institution. The mean age as of operation was 78.
