Chromosome analysis of a brain malignant lymphoma cell line.
Chromosome studies of a malignant lymphoma cell line derived from the brain were made by Q- and G-banding techniques. The modal number of chromosomes was 45. Complex structural rearrangements were present, but the 14q+ marker chromosome frequently seen in malignant lymphomas was not identified in the cell line. The main karyotype in cells analyzed was 45, X, -Y, del (2) (q21q23), t (3;?) (p25;?), t (p12;?), -8, 11q+, 18q+, +mar. Absence of the 14q+ may be explained by: firstly, clones which possessed 14q+ marker chromosome in brain tumor cells may have been selected out with increasing culture time and repeated passages; or secondly, the presence of the 14q+ marker chromosome depends on the type of lymphoma
Unhealthy food intake restriction awareness and mortality
Background: Improving diets requires an awareness of the need to limit foods for which excessive consumption is a health problem. Since there are limited reports on the link between this awareness and mortality risk, we examined the association between awareness of limiting food intake (energy, fat, and sweets) and all-cause mortality in a Japanese cohort study.
Methods: Participants comprised 58,772 residents (27,294 men; 31,478 women) aged 35–69 years who completed baseline surveys of the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study from 2004 to 2014. Hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated by sex using a Cox proportional hazard model, with adjustment for related factors. Mediation analysis with fat intake as a mediator was also conducted.
Results: The mean follow-up period was 11 years and 2,516 people died. Estimated energy and fat intakes according to the Food Frequency Questionnaire were lower in those with awareness of limiting food intake than in those without this awareness. Women with awareness of limiting fat intake showed a significant decrease in mortality risk (HR=0.73; 95% CI, 0.55 to 0.94). Mediation analysis revealed that this association was due to the direct effect of the awareness of limiting fat intake and that the total effect was not mediated by actual fat intake. Awareness of limiting energy or sweets intake was not related to mortality risk reduction.
Conclusion: Awareness of limiting food intake had a limited effect on reducing all-cause mortality risk
創造性を育成するための看護教育方法の開発(その1) : 創造性看護教育に関する海外研修レポート
報告Report2006年9月、共同研究「創造性を育成するための看護教育方法の開発」の一環としての韓国研修の機会を得た。今回の研修の目的は、研究を進めるにあたって、研究対象の1つである韓国における研究計画の実現可能性の確認と具体的な打ち合わせを行うことであった。病院見学をはじめ、嶺南(ヨンナム)理工大学看護学科教員との交流セッション、嶺南大学の大学院生とのラベルワークの実施を通して、両国の看護教育に対する理解を深めるとともに、われわれの研究に対する理解と協力を得ることができた。さらに研究の具体的計画の実現可能性の確認できた。また、共同研究者である朴教授と綿密な打ち合わせもでき、研究を発展させるための方向性と課題を明確にすることができた。その成果を報告する

A Genome-Wide Association Study Identified AFF1 as a Susceptibility Locus for Systemic Lupus Eyrthematosus in Japanese
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that causes multiple organ damage. Although recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have contributed to discovery of SLE susceptibility genes, few studies has been performed in Asian populations. Here, we report a GWAS for SLE examining 891 SLE cases and 3,384 controls and multi-stage replication studies examining 1,387 SLE cases and 28,564 controls in Japanese subjects. Considering that expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) have been implicated in genetic risks for autoimmune diseases, we integrated an eQTL study into the results of the GWAS. We observed enrichments of cis-eQTL positive loci among the known SLE susceptibility loci (30.8%) compared to the genome-wide SNPs (6.9%). In addition, we identified a novel association of a variant in the AF4/FMR2 family, member 1 (AFF1) gene at 4q21 with SLE susceptibility (rs340630; P = 8.3×10−9, odds ratio = 1.21). The risk A allele of rs340630 demonstrated a cis-eQTL effect on the AFF1 transcript with enhanced expression levels (P<0.05). As AFF1 transcripts were prominently expressed in CD4+ and CD19+ peripheral blood lymphocytes, up-regulation of AFF1 may cause the abnormality in these lymphocytes, leading to disease onset
Genetics of rheumatoid arthritis contributes to biology and drug discovery
A major challenge in human genetics is to devise a systematic strategy to integrate disease-associated variants with diverse genomic and biological datasets to provide insight into disease pathogenesis and guide drug discovery for complex traits such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA)1. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis in a total of >100,000 subjects of European and Asian ancestries (29,880 RA cases and 73,758 controls), by evaluating ~10 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We discovered 42 novel RA risk loci at a genome-wide level of significance, bringing the total to 1012–4. We devised an in-silico pipeline using established bioinformatics methods based on functional annotation5, cis-acting expression quantitative trait loci (cis-eQTL)6, and pathway analyses7–9 – as well as novel methods based on genetic overlap with human primary immunodeficiency (PID), hematological cancer somatic mutations and knock-out mouse phenotypes – to identify 98 biological candidate genes at these 101 risk loci. We demonstrate that these genes are the targets of approved therapies for RA, and further suggest that drugs approved for other indications may be repurposed for the treatment of RA. Together, this comprehensive genetic study sheds light on fundamental genes, pathways and cell types that contribute to RA pathogenesis, and provides empirical evidence that the genetics of RA can provide important information for drug discovery
