<リサーチ・ペーパー>ブラジル北東部サンフランシスコ川中流域における日系入植者の社会経済特性の変遷
本稿は,ブラジル北東部サンフランシスコ川中流域における日系入植者たちの社会経済特性について,入植後から現在までの変遷を踏まえながら明らかにすることを目的とする。大規模灌漑果樹農家として成功した先駆的単独入植世帯の事例では,農地を分割しながら世代交代して現在も農業が継続していた。一方,集団入植世帯の多くも,日系農協組織の解散に見舞われながらも,自ら新たな同業者組合を結成したり,個別に集出荷業者と契約したり,海外市場向けの新品種を積極的に導入したりしながら,果樹農業を発展させていた。当地域の日系人コミュニティは,日系人同士の親睦や次世代への日本語・日本文化の継承に大きな役割を果たしてきたが,近年では,日系・非日系の垣根を超えた地域社会の交流を促進し,現地ブラジル社会へ日本語・日本文化を伝道するという,新しい存在意義や役割も付与されていた
Clopidogrel Monotherapy After 1-Month DAPT in Patients With High Bleeding Risk or Complex PCI
BACKGROUND: High bleeding risk (HBR) and complex percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are major determinants for dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) duration. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of HBR and complex PCI on short vs standard DAPT. METHODS: Subgroup analyses were conducted on the basis of Academic Research Consortium-defined HBR and complex PCI in the STOPDAPT-2 (Short and Optimal Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Verulam's-Eluting Cobalt-Chromium Stent-2) Total Cohort, which randomly compared clopidogrel monotherapy after 1-month DAPT with 12-month DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel after PCI. The primary endpoint was the composite of cardiovascular (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, definite stent thrombosis, or stroke) or bleeding (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction [TIMI] major or minor) endpoints at 1 year. RESULTS: Regardless of HBR (n = 1, 893 [31.6%]) and complex PCI (n = 999 [16.7%]), the risk of 1-month DAPT relative to 12-month DAPT was not significant for the primary endpoint (HBR, 5.01% vs 5.14%; non-HBR, 1.90% vs 2.02%; P interaction = 0.95) (complex PCI, 3.15% vs 4.07%; noncomplex PCI, 2.78% vs 2.82%; P interaction = 0.48) and for the cardiovascular endpoint (HBR, 4.35% vs 3.52%; and non-HBR, 1.56% vs 1.22%; P interaction = 0.90) (complex PCI, 2.53% vs 2.52%; noncomplex PCI, 2.38% vs 1.86%; P interaction = 0.53), while it was lower for the bleeding endpoint (HBR, 0.66% vs 2.27%; non-HBR, 0.43% vs 0.85%; P interaction = 0.36) (complex PCI, 0.63% vs 1.75%; noncomplex PCI, 0.48% vs 1.22%; P interaction = 0.90). The absolute difference in the bleeding between 1- and 12-month DAPT was numerically greater in patients with HBR than in those without HBR (-1.61% vs -0.42%). CONCLUSIONS: The effects of 1-month DAPT relative to 12-month DAPT were consistent regardless of HBR and complex PCI. The absolute benefit of 1-month DAPT over 12-month DAPT in reducing major bleeding was numerically greater in patients with HBR than in those without HBR. Complex PCI might not be an appropriate determinant for DAPT durations after PCI.

Clopidogrel Monotherapy After 1-Month Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: From the STOPDAPT-2 Total Cohort
[Background:] The benefit of clopidogrel monotherapy after 1-month dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) compared with 12-month DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel was demonstrated in the STOPDAPT-2 (Short and Optimal Duration of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Everolimus-Eluting Cobalt-Chromium Stent-2), but not in the STOPDAPT-2 acute coronary syndrome (ACS); however, both trials were underpowered based on the actual event rates. [Methods:] We obtained the prespecified pooled population of 5997 patients as the STOPDAPT-2 total cohort (STOPDAPT-2: N=3009/STOPDAPT-2 ACS: N=2988; ACS: N=4136/chronic coronary syndrome [CCS]: N=1861), comprising 2993 patients assigned to 1-month DAPT followed by clopidogrel monotherapy, and 3004 patients assigned to 12-month DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel after percutaneous coronary intervention. The primary end point was the composite of cardiovascular (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, definite stent thrombosis, or any stroke) or bleeding (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction major/minor) end points at 1 year. [Results:] One-month DAPT was noninferior to 12-month DAPT for the primary end point (2.84% versus 3.04%; hazard ratio [HR], 0.94 [95% CI, 0.70–1.27]; Pnoninferiority=0.001; Psuperiority=0.68). There was no significant risk-difference for the cardiovascular end point between the 1- and 12-month DAPT groups (2.40% versus 1.97%; HR, 1.24 [95% CI, 0.88–1.75]; Pnoninferiority=0.14; Psuperiority=0.23). There was a lower risk of the bleeding end point with 1-month DAPT relative to 12-month DAPT (0.50% versus 1.31%; HR, 0.38 [95% CI, 0.21–0.70]; Psuperiority=0.002). One-month DAPT relative to 12-month DAPT was associated with a lower risk for major bleeding regardless of ACS or CCS (ACS: HR, 0.46 [95% CI, 0.23–0.94]; P=0.03, and CCS: HR, 0.26 [95% CI, 0.09–0.79]; P=0.02; Pinteraction=0.40), while it was associated with a numerical increase in cardiovascular events in ACS patients, but not in CCS patients, although not statistically significant and without interaction (ACS: HR, 1.50 [95% CI, 0.99–2.27]; P=0.053, and CCS: HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.38–1.45]; P=0.39; Pinteraction=0.08). [Conclusions:] Clopidogrel monotherapy after 1-month DAPT compared with 12-month DAPT with aspirin and clopidogrel had a benefit in reducing major bleeding events without being associated with increase in cardiovascular events
The Therapeutic Effects of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells and Recombinant Peptide Pieces on Mouse Model of DSS Colitis
Cell therapies using adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been used to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in human and dog. We previously reported the CellSaic technique, which uses a recombinant scaffold to enhance the efficacy of cell therapy. To examine whether this technique can be applied to cell therapy for colitis, we evaluated the efficacy of CellSaic in colitis mouse models. Colitis mouse models were developed by administering dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) to C57BL/6 mice for 7 days. Then CellSaic comprising human/canine ADSCs (1.2 × 10 6 cells) or human/canine ADSCs only (1.2 × 10 6 cells) were administered to the mice. The body weights were measured, and the colon length measurements and histological evaluations were conducted at 7 days after administration. After in vitro culture of human ADSC (hADSC) CellSaic and hADSC spheroids in medium containing TNFα, the levels of the anti-inflammatory protein TSG-6 in each supernatant were measured. Furthermore, we conducted tumorigenicity and general toxicity tests of canine ADSC (cADSC) CellSaic in NOG mice for 8 weeks. In the colitis mouse models, the ADSC CellSaic group presented recovery of body weight and colon length compared with the ADSC-only group. Histological analysis showed that ADSC CellSaic decreased the number of inflammatory cells and repaired ulceration. In vitro , hADSC CellSaic secreted 3.1-fold more TSG-6 than the hADSCs. In addition, tumorigenicity and general toxicity of cADSC CellSaic were not observed. This study suggests that human and canine ADSC CellSaic has a therapeutic effect of colitis in human and dogs
