Effects of electroconvulsive therapy on the use of anxiolytics and sleep medications: a propensity score-matched analysis

Takashi Tsuboi, Yoshikazu Takaesu, Naomi Hasegawa, Shinichiro Ochi, Kentaro Fukumoto, Kazutaka Ohi, Hiroyuki Muraoka, Tsuyoshi Okada, Funitoshi Kodaka, Shun Igarashi, Hitoshi Iida, Hiroko Kashiwagi, Hikaru Hori, Kayo Ichihashi, Kazuyoshi Ogasawara, Naoki Hashimoto, Jun-Ichi Iga, Toshinori Nakamura, Masahide Usami, Tatsuya Nagasawa, Mikio Kido, Hiroshi Komatsu, Hirotaka Yamagata, Kiyokazu Atake, Ryuji Furihata, Saya Kikuchi, Tadasu Horai, Masahiro Takeshima, Yoji Hirano, Manabu Makinodan, Junya Matsumoto, Kenichiro Miura, Akitoyo Hishimoto, Shusuke Numata, Hisashi Yamada, Norio Yasui-Furukori, Ken Inada, Koichiro Watanabe, Ryota Hashimoto

Summary: The use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) may reduce the need for anxiolytic and sleep medication in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, there was no significant difference in anxiolytic and sleep medication use between the ECT and non-ECT groups in patients with schizophrenia (SZ).

Genetic factors associated with serum amylase in a Japanese population: combined analysis of copy-number and single-nucleotide variants

Zannatun Nayema, Takehiro Sato, Takayuki Kannon, Hiromasa Tsujiguchi, Kazuyoshi Hosomichi, Hiroyuki Nakamura, Atsushi Tajima

Summary: Amylase activity and levels are heritable quantitative traits. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 814 Japanese individuals identified significant single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) near the AMY cluster on chromosome 1 that are associated with serum amylase levels (SAL). The study also found that the diploid copy number of AMY1 is significantly associated with SAL, while no significant associations were found for AMY2A or AMY2B. The AMY1 CNV appears to be the major genetic factor influencing SAL in the Japanese population.

Summary: This study investigated the relationships among depression, body mass index (BMI), and chronic pain (CP). The results showed a positive correlation between depression and lumbar/knee pain in the BMI < 25 group, but not in the BMI >= 25 group. Additionally, a higher BMI was associated with lumbar/knee pain.

Summary: Genetic testing is crucial for identifying disease-causing variants and distinguishing between pathogenic and benign variants. In this study, a zebrafish model was used to investigate the clinical significance of KCNQ1 variants. The results showed that KCNQ1 variants could affect action potential duration and should be reevaluated physiologically.

Higher Intake of Vegetable Protein and Lower Intake of Animal Fats Reduce the Incidence of Diabetes in Non-Drinking Males: A Prospective Epidemiological Analysis of the Shika Study

Aya Ogawa, Hiromasa Tsujiguchi, Masaharu Nakamura, Koichi Hayashi, Akinori Hara, Keita Suzuki, Sakae Miyagi, Takayuki Kannon, Chie Takazawa, Jiaye Zhao, Yasuhiro Kambayashi, Yukari Shimizu, Aki Shibata, Tadashi Konoshita, Fumihiko Suzuki, Hirohito Tsuboi, Atsushi Tajima, Hiroyuki Nakamura

Summary: This study investigated the interrelationships among nutrient intake, alcohol consumption, and the incidence of diabetes. It found that vegetable protein intake was negatively associated with the incidence of diabetes in males, while animal fat intake was positively associated with the incidence of diabetes. Therefore, considering vegetable protein and animal fat intake, along with drinking habits, is important for the prevention of diabetes.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is correlated with genetic polymorphisms. However, the effects of genetic variation on nutritional metabolism and NAFLD are complex and further studies are needed.

Postnatal expression of CD38 in astrocytes regulates synapse formation and adult social memory

Summary: This study reveals that astrocytes, specifically the CD38 protein expressed in them, play a crucial role in social behavior by regulating oxytocin release and synapse formation. Deletion of CD38 in postnatal astrocytes impairs social memory and inhibits synaptogenesis, highlighting the importance of astrocytes in neural circuit formation.

Summary: The study explored the relationship between dietary intake of fatty acids and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Japanese people. It found that low intake of omega-3 and high omega-6-to-omega-3 ratio were associated with CKD in participants with diabetes, but not in those without diabetes.

Summary: Association rule, a transparent machine learning method, was used to evaluate the risk for kidney disease in diabetic patients. The study found significant relationships between glycemic control, anemia, obesity, and hypertension with kidney function. Stratified risk assessment using association rules revealed the importance of the presence or absence of risk factors.

An Observational Study on Changes in the Oral and Gut Microbiota through Professional Mechanical Tooth Cleaning, including Tooth-Brushing Instructions in Patients with Multi-Bracket Appliances

Satoko Okuwaki, Kazuyoshi Hosomichi, Atsushi Tajima, Tetsutaro Yamaguchi

Summary: In this study, continuous professional mechanical tooth cleaning (PMTC) for orthodontic patients wearing multi-bracket appliances was found to significantly reduce plaque in the oral cavity without causing changes in the oral or gut microbiota or an increase in pathogenic bacteria. This suggests that continuous PMTC can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria by maintaining a clean oral environment and avoiding dysbiosis in both the oral and gut microbiota. Furthermore, differences in food intake and choices at each treatment stage may affect the gut microbiota.

Association between Bone Mineral Density and Oral Frailty on Renal Function: Findings from the Shika Study

Shingo Nakai, Fumihiko Suzuki, Shigefumi Okamoto, Sakae Miyagi, Hiromasa Tsujiguchi, Akinori Hara, Thao Thi Thu Nguyen, Yukari Shimizu, Koichiro Hayashi, Keita Suzuki, Tomoko Kasahara, Masaharu Nakamura, Chie Takazawa, Takayuki Kannon, Atsushi Tajima, Hirohito Tsuboi, Noriyoshi Ogino, Tadashi Konoshita, Toshinari Takamura, Hiroyuki Nakamura

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between oral frailty and decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and renal function. The results showed that lower BMD was significantly associated with lower renal function in individuals with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of < 60 and oral frailty. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the genetics of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) and identify candidate gene variants associated with IGE. Through whole-exome sequencing analysis, the study found that IGE shows high heterogeneity and identified several novel candidate variants. The results suggest that the current Genes4Epilepsy panel is incomplete for the clinical diagnosis of IGE.
