Abstract Cardiac calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) is a rare, benign non-neoplastic mass of the heart that is sometimes found due to embolic events. Most cases of CAT are treated with surgical removal to prevent future embolic events. However, the treatment strategy for CAT complicated by atrial fibrillation has remained to be determined. Here we report a case of left ventricular CAT complicated by paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) that was successfully treated with surgical removal and pulmonary vein isolation. Pulmonary vein isolation can be a simple and effective procedure for PAF, even during surgical removal of CAT.

Abstract The status of postpartum depression was elucidated herein with the use of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in women in Shikoku, Japan who became pregnant and gave birth after undergoing infertility treatment, including assisted reproductive technology (ART). The assessment was performed during their children’s 4-month health examination. The relationships between postpartum depression and the mothers’ background factors and scores on the Big Five personality traits scale were also examined. Of the Big Five personality traits, the scores for neuroticism were significantly higher in the ART group (n=71) than in the general infertility treatment (n=118) and natural pregnancy (n=872) groups. No significant differences in EPDS scores were seen among these three groups. A logistic regression analysis showed that neuroticism was associated with an EPDS score ≧9 points, (which is suggestive of postpartum depression, ) in all groups. Moreover, although a long-standing marriage had an inhibitory effect on postpartum depression in the natural pregnancy group, no such trend was seen in the ART group, which included many women with long-standing marriages. Particularly for women who become pregnant by ART, an individualized response that pays close attention to the woman’s personality traits is needed.

Abstract School teachers are subject to both physical and mental health problems. We examined cross-sectional relationships between work engagement and major health outcomes among junior and senior high school teachers in Japan via a nationwide survey in 2019-2020. A total of 3,160 respondents were included in the analyses (19.9% response rate). Work engagement was assessed with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-9 (UWES-9), and we thus divided the teachers into quartiles according to their UWES-9 scores. Based on validated questionnaires, we assessed insomnia, psychological distress, and neck pain as health outcomes. A binomial logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, school type, teacher’s roles, involvement in club activities, division of duties, employment status, and whether they lived with family demonstrated that the teachers with lower UWES-9 scores had higher burdens of insomnia, psychological distress, and neck pain (odds ratios [95% confidence intervals] in 4th vs. 1st quartile, 2.92 (2.34-3.65), 3.70 (2.81-4.88), and 2.12 (1.68-2.68), respectively; all trend p<0.001). There were no significant differences in these associations between full-time and part-time teachers. Our findings indicate that low work engagement may contribute to physical and mental health issues among junior and senior high school teachers, thus providing insights for preventing health problems in this profession.

Abstract Anamorelin (ANAM) is used to treat cancer-associated cachexia, a syndrome involving muscle loss and anorexia. The timing of the initiation of ANAM treatment is crucial to its efficacy. Although the body mass index (BMI) is a diagnostic criterion for cancer cachexia, no studies have explored its association with ANAM efficacy. We conducted a single-center, retrospective cohort study to investigate the association between the pre-treatment BMI and ANAM efficacy in patients with cancer-associated cachexia (n=47). The ANAM treatment was considered effective if the patient’s appetite improved within 30 days of treatment initiation. We calculated a BMI cutoff value (19.5 kg/m2) and used it to divide the patients into high- and low-BMI groups. Their background, clinical laboratory values, cancer types, and treatment lines were investigated. Twenty (42.6%) had a high BMI (≥ 19.5 kg/m2) and 27 (57.4%) had a low BMI (< 19.5 kg/m2). High BMI was significantly associated with ANAM effectiveness (odds ratio 7.86, 95% confidence interval 1.99-31.00, p=0.003). Together these results indicate that it is beneficial to initiate ANAM treatment before a patient’s BMI drops below 19.5 kg/m2. Our findings will help advance cancer cachexia treatment and serve as a reference for clinicians to predict ANAM’s efficacy.

Abstract  ドイツ付近の「春・5月」の気候と歌の表現の学際的学習を通して「異質な他者」への出会いを促す教科横断的授業を大学で行った。授業では,ドイツ付近における「春・5月」の季節感の2つの側面,すなわち「厳しい冬を経て巡り来る特別な喜び」や「すぐに過ぎ去る至福の瞬間の儚さ」に関連した気候の特徴を講義すると共に,それらの季節感が表現されたドイツ歌曲や映画《会議は踊る》の主題歌〈ただ一度だけ〉等の鑑賞を行い,作品の背景にある気候と音楽表現の関りにアプローチした。その結果,作品の歌詞を主な手がかりに,気候や季節感と音楽表現の関りを概ね捉えることができた。従って,本実践が「異質な他者」の存在を実感する機会になり得たといえる。一方,「5月」という一語に凝縮されたドイツ付近ならではの深い内容を「我が事」としてより強く実感するためには,歌詞はもとより音楽的表現との絡みを意識した捉え方,提示の必要性が示唆された。

Abstract Endothelial cell polarity is fundamental to the organization and function of blood vessels, influencing processes such as angiogenesis, vascular stability, and response to shear stress. This review elaborates on the molecular mechanisms that regulate endothelial cell polarity, focusing on key players like the PAR polarity complex and Rho family GTPases. These pathways coordinate the front–rear, apical–basal and planar polarity of endothelial cells, which are essential for the proper formation and maintenance of vascular structures. In health, endothelial polarity ensures not only the orderly development of blood vessels, with tip cells adopting distinct polarities during angiogenesis, but also ensures proper vascular integrity and function. In disease states, however, disruptions in polarity contribute to pathologies such as coronary artery disease, where altered planar polarity exacerbates atherosclerosis, and cancer, where disrupted polarity in tumor vasculature leads to abnormal vessel growth and function. Understanding cell polarity and its disruption is fundamental not only to comprehending how cells interact with their microenvironment and organize themselves into complex, organ-specific tissues but also to developing novel, targeted, and therapeutic strategies for a range of diseases, from cardiovascular disorders to malignancies, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Abstract A 73-year-old man who had undergone esophagectomy and retrosternal gastric tube reconstruction for esophageal cancer 8 years prior was transferred to our hospital for the treatment of an acute myocardial infarction. Emergent percutaneous coronary intervention for the left anterior descending artery (#7) was successfully performed. However, echocardiography revealed a ventricular septal rupture (25×27 mm). Seventeen days after admission, the rupture was successfully treated with a double-patch closure via a left anterolateral thoracotomy to avoid a surgical injury to his retrosternal gastric tube. Determining the best surgical approach to the heart is important for safe cardiac surgery in patients after esophageal reconstruction.

Abstract Gangrenous cholecystitis (GC) is classified as moderate acute cholecystitis according to the Tokyo Guidelines from 2018 (TG18). We evaluated the risk factors for GC and the outcomes of early cholecystectomy. A total of 136 patients who underwent emergency cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis were retrospectively analyzed; 58 of these patients (42.6%) were diagnosed with GC (GC group) based on our retrospective pathologic diagnosis. We comparatively evaluated the patient backgrounds and surgical outcomes between the GC group and non-GC group. The GC group was significantly older and included more hypertensive patients than the non-GC group. The GC group was prescribed more antibiotics as initial treatment than the non-GC group, and they had more days between onset and surgery. The preoperative white blood cell count and C-reactive protein values were significantly higher in the GC group than in the non-GC group, and these values were predictive factors for GC. Cholecystectomy required a longer operation time and caused greater blood loss in the GC group. The GC group also had longer hospitalization times than the non-GC group; however, no significant differences were observed in terms of postoperative complications. In conclusion, gangrenous changes should be assessed when diagnosing cholecystitis, and appropriate treatment, such as surgery or drainage, should be undertaken.
