Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate factors involved in anaphylaxis related to diclofenac etalhyaluronate (DEH) [product name: Joyclu® (JCL)] (containing DEH and macrogol 400), which is used to treat patients with osteoarthritis.
Methods: Patients with osteoarthritis were divided into two groups that had (experienced patients) or had not experienced anaphylactic symptoms after JCL administration (non-experienced patients). Five tests performed to assess factors related to anaphylaxis consisted of a skin prick test (SPT) as the primary endpoint and the other tests including basophil activation test, allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) tests using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or immunochromatographic kits, and genetic study were secondary endpoints.

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI)-based systems using chest images are potentially reliable for diagnosing osteoporosis.
Methods: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the diagnostic accuracy of chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scans using AI for osteoporosis in accordance with the diagnostic test accuracy guidelines. We included any type of study investigating the diagnostic accuracy of index test for osteoporosis.

Background And Purpose: Stroke impairs a patient's ability to walk. In patients with acute stroke, a 6-min walking distance (6MWD) is recommended to assess walking function. Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) is used to determine the effectiveness of rehabilitation; however, the MCID for 6MWD has not been adequately validated.

Kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis within the body, and this function is intricately linked to the vascular structures within them. For vascular cells in the kidney to mature and function effectively, a well-coordinated spatial alignment between the nephrons and complex network of blood vessels is essential. This arrangement ensures efficient blood filtration and regulation of the electrolyte balance, blood pressure, and fluid levels.

Interaction of mast cells (MCs) with fibroblasts is essential for MC maturation within tissue microenvironments, although the underlying mechanism is incompletely understood. Through a phenotypic screening of >30 mouse lines deficient in lipid-related genes, we found that deletion of the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor LPA, like that of the phospholipase PLA2G3, the prostaglandin D (PGD) synthase L-PGDS, or the PGD receptor DP1, impairs MC maturation and thereby anaphylaxis. Mechanistically, MC-secreted PLA2G3 acts on extracellular vesicles (EVs) to supply lysophospholipids, which are converted by fibroblast-derived autotaxin (ATX) to LPA.

In vitro models of kidneys have limited effectiveness owing to the complex structure and functions of the kidney when compared with other organs. Therefore many renal function evaluations are currently being carried out through animal experiments. In contrast, efforts are being made to apply biomimetic systems, such as organ-on-a-chip, which is based on microfluidic device technology, to serve as an in vitro model for the kidney.

Purpose: To develop a clinical prediction model (CPM) to predict independence in activities of daily living (ADLs) in patients with heart failure.
Subjects And Methods: We collected the data of the individuals who were admitted and rehabilitated for heart failure from January 2017 to June 2022 from Japan's Diagnosis Procedure Combination database. We assessed the subjects' ADLs at discharge using the Barthel Index and classified them into independence, partial-independence, and total-dependence groups based on their ADLs at discharge.

Objective: To determine the long-term survival of patients receiving home hemodialysis (HHD) through self-punctured arteriovenous access.
Methods: We conducted an observational study of all patients receiving HHD at our facility between 2001 and 2020. The primary outcome was treatment survival, and it was defined as the duration from HHD initiation to the first event of death or technique failure.

Cellular slime molds are excellent model organisms in the field of cell and developmental biology because of their simple developmental patterns. During our studies on the identification of bioactive molecules from secondary metabolites of cellular slime molds toward the development of novel pharmaceuticals, we revealed the structural diversity of secondary metabolites. Cellular slime molds grow by feeding on bacteria, such as and without using medium components.

[Purpose] This study aimed to calculate the windlass mechanism in one walking cycle (WC) using the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) height and compare its mechanism with joint moments, angles, and center of gravity movement. [Participants and Methods] The study analyzed the gait of 20 healthy adults (14 males, six females) using a three-dimensional motion analyzer to calculate several parameters. [Results] In the terminal stance, the MLA height reached 20.

Physical exercise interventions to prevent falls for older adults at risk of falling are widespread in many countries; however, there is insufficient knowledge of the impact of long-term exercise on the fall discriminating ability of existing fall-prediction indicators. This study measured physical and cognitive indicators of the fall risk, including the timed up and go (TUG), walking speed (WS), and plantar tactile threshold (PTT), in 124 community-dwelling older adults with care needs who were continuing an exercise program. Logistic regression analyses were used to determine factors associated with falls in the 87 participants who could adhere to the exercise continuously for 12 months.
