High blood pressure (BP) increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, not only among middle-aged and older adults, but also in young adults. Early interventions for high BP may prevent future organ damage. Therefore, it is essential to monitor BP trends in young adults to support this approach. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a trend of increasing BP was observed worldwide. However, young adults have not been fully evaluated. Therefore, this study examined BP trends among university students (n = 106,691) over two decades, every 5 years from 2003 to 2023, including the period before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. From 2003 to 2018, there were no notable changes in BP. However, following the COVID-19 pandemic, increased BP was observed in both men and women, with systolic BP increasing from 118.1 (SD, 14.2) mmHg in 2018 to 120.6 (SD, 12.5) mmHg in 2023 among men, and from 104.6 (SD, 11.8) mmHg to 105.1 (SD, 11.7) mmHg among women. These trends were particularly pronounced among students with normal and underweight somatotypes and among first- and second-year students. The results of the lifestyle survey showed a decrease in smoking and drinking habits, insufficient sleep, mental stress, consumption of fast food and snacks, and an increase in exercise habits. Although contributing factors to the recent increase in BP were not identified, there was an upward trend in BP among Japanese university students. It is important to carefully observe how BP trends change over the long term following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. (Figure presented.)

アディポネクチン(ADPN)は脂肪細胞から分泌される善玉のホルモンで、細胞実験や動物実験で糖尿病や動脈硬化・腫瘍などを抑制し、百寿者では血中濃度が高いなど、抗加齢ホルモンとしての意義が注目されている。また、糖尿病マウスの脂肪細胞内でシステイン残基へのコハク酸結合により高分子量(HMW)型の産生が低下する機序が報告された。本研究では、40～65歳の教職員を対象に健診時に血清中のHMW-ADPN濃度を測定し、その意義を断面研究で検討した。当施設の定期健康診断を受診した40～65歳の教職員を対象に、血清HMW-ADPN濃度をCLEIA法で測定した(株式会社エスアールエルに委託)。解析対象の日本人は男性1,586名、女性1,019名(平均年齢は男性51歳、女性49歳)であった。(1)血清HMW-ADPN濃度の中央値は男性で2.6μg/mL、女性で4.9μg/mLであり、男女ともメタボリックシンドローム(MetS)群は非MetS群と比較して有意に低値であった。(2)男女とも、log[HMW-ADPN]はHDL-CやBNP、年齢とは正の相関が、BMI、腹囲、空腹時血糖、HbA1c、血清TG、赤血球数、ALT、γ-GTP、尿酸などと有意な負の相関が認められた。(3)男女ともに、運動習慣がある群の方がHMW-ADPNが高い傾向が認められた。(4)log[HMW-ADPN]を目的変数としたステップワイズ多重回帰分析では、HDL-C、尿酸、BMI、性別、BNP、γ-GTP、年齢、HbA1cの順に採択された(F≧10、P<0.0001、R2=0.417)。以上より、血清HMW-ADPN濃度はHDL-Cや女性、BNP、年齢とは正の、BMIや尿酸、γ-GTP、HbA1cとは負の、それぞれ独立して有意な関係を示した。(著者抄録)

© 2019, Japanese Society of Nephrology. Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in later life and is becoming increasingly common in developed countries, including Japan. Furthermore, a serial decrease in birth weight has been associated with an increasing prevalence of CKD stage 2 in male Japanese adolescents. Sex-specific differences affect CKD susceptibility, and the association between birth weight and CKD in women, has not been elucidated. In this study, we investigated the sex-specific effect of LBW on renal function. Methods: Annual cross-sectional data of 2417 Japanese adolescents (males 1736; females 681), aged 15–16 years, were evaluated over 8 years (2007–2014). Results: Over the study period, mean birth weights decreased significantly in males (p < 0.01) and females (p < 0.05). Furthermore, both sexes showed significant decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rates corresponding to the birth weight reduction. The prevalence of CKD stage 2 also increased in males (from 26.0 to 32.4%, p < 0.01) and females (from 6.3 to 18.5%, p < 0.05). The incidence of CKD stage 2 was significantly related to history of LBW (males: odds ratio 1.73; 95% confidence interval 1.06–2.80; p < 0.05; females: odds ratio 3.29; 95% confidence interval 1.25–8.02; p < 0.05). Conclusions: Our data revealed that renal function and birth weight have decreased over time, in healthy Japanese adolescents. In view of the recent declining trend demonstrated by birth weight in Japan, we speculate that the prevalence of CKD might increase in the future.

神奈川県内の中高一貫校(男女共学)では、2018年度夏季休業中の部活動において熱中症が、校内、校外合わせて30件発生し、2017年の8件に比べて大幅に増加した。2018年度の夏は、夏季休業開始早々から、保健室において熱中症と判断される運動部生徒への対応が多く、学校は熱中症の発生を減らすために熱中症予防策を設けた。この予防策は、熱中症発生状況に応じて、教員と保健室スタッフが相談し、2回の見直しが行われた。今後の熱中症予防策を検討するため、見直しした対策ごとの熱中症発生者数と暑さ指数(Wet Bulb Globe Temperature:WBGT、湿球黒球温度)の関係を解析した。また、熱中症罹患者を対象にアンケート調査を行った。2018年度からの熱中症予防策に従い、暑さ指数を基準とした活動制限を設けたことで熱中症発生の抑制につながった。熱中症罹患者アンケート調査では、大部分の者では、個人の身体面における熱中症発症リスクや、個人レベルの予防策における問題点は認められなかった。個人の予防対策のみで熱中症発生を防止することは難しく、学校全体で予防策に取り組む必要がある。(著者抄録)

　View Summary

© 2019, The Author(s). The Japanese hypertension guidelines report that essential hypertension is detected in 1–3% of upper elementary and high school students during blood pressure (BP) screenings. Hypertension in these age groups is an emerging public health concern mainly attributed to the rising rate of pediatric obesity. Considering the existence of BP tracking phenomenon, early preventive education and instruction are necessary, especially for male students with moderately elevated BP showing a tendency toward obesity, despite the low prevalence of hypertension in high school students. Students with a positive family history of hypertension and those born with low birth weight need the same measures. Lifestyle habits, such as increased alcohol intake, dramatically change once students begin university; thus, early education and instruction regarding the factors influencing BP are necessary. In particular, for male students with higher BP during high school, caution regarding increased body weight is required irrespective of their level of obesity. Young adults aged <40 years should be educated about the association between body weight and hypertension. Particular caution surrounding lifestyle habits, including drinking and smoking, is warranted in male hypertensive subjects because hypertension at a young age is strongly associated with obesity. BP monitoring and the management of obesity should be considered efficient approaches to the detection and treatment of hypertension. For the lifetime prevention of hypertension, it is essential to be aware of one’s health status and learn about healthy lifestyles beginning in childhood. BP measurement may be an appropriate means to achieve this goal.

© 2018 The Authors. Cancer Science published by John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd on behalf of Japanese Cancer Association. Gastric cancer is the third leading cause of cancer mortality in Japan and worldwide. Although previous studies identify various genetic variations associated with gastric cancer, host genetic factors are largely unidentified. To identify novel gastric cancer loci in the Japanese population, herein, we carried out a large-scale genome-wide association study using 6171 cases and 27 178 controls followed by three replication analyses. Analysis using a total of 11 507 cases and 38 904 controls identified two novel loci on 12q24.11-12 (rs6490061, P = 3.20 × 10 −8 with an odds ratio [OR] of 0.905) and 20q11.21 (rs2376549, P = 8.11 × 10 −10 with an OR of 1.109). rs6490061 is located at intron 19 of the CUX2 gene, and its expression was suppressed by Helicobacter pylori infection. rs2376549 is included within the gene cluster of DEFB families that encode antibacterial peptides. We also found a significant association of rs7849280 in the ABO gene locus on 9q34.2 (P = 2.64 × 10 −13 with an OR of 1.148). CUX2 and ABO expression in gastric mucosal tissues was significantly associated with rs6490061 and rs7849280 (P = 0.0153 and 8.00 × 10 −11 ), respectively. Our findings show the crucial roles of genetic variations in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer.

© 2017 The Author . Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of ERA-EDTA. Background Low birthweight (LBW) is a worldwide public health problem, demonstrating an increasing incidence in developed countries, including Japan. LBW is also a risk factor for later development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). To date, studies have not evaluated the population impacts of increasing LBW rates on renal function. Methods Estimated glomerular filtration rate (EGFR) was evaluated in 3737 Japanese adolescent males (15-16 years old) using annual cross-sectional data over an 18-year period (1998-2015). Results Between the initial (1998-2003) and final (2010-15) periods of the study, the mean birthweight decreased from 3213.4 ± 383.8 to 3116.2 ± 382.3 g and the LBW rate increased from 2.5 to 5.5% (both P ≤ 0.01). Additionally, the mean EGFR decreased from 105.1 ± 15.9 to 97.4 ± 13.8 mL/min/1.73 m 2 and the prevalence of mildly reduced renal function (EGFR ≤ 60-<90 mL/min/1.73 m 2) increased from 16.4 to 30.0% (both P ≤ 0.01), most evident in the LBW group (from 10.3 to 41.7%, P ≤0.01). The prevalence of proteinuria also increased significantly. Mildly reduced renal function was significantly associated with LBW [odds ratio (LBW 3000-3999 g) 1.51; 95% confidence interval 1.00-2.55; P = 0.047]. Conclusions In this population of Japanese adolescents, the frequency of mildly reduced renal function increased as the LBW frequency increased. Our findings may have implications for the broader Japanese population as well as for other populations in which the prevalence of LBW is increasing.

© 2017 The Author(s). We examined common variation in asthma risk by conducting a meta-analysis of worldwide asthma genome-wide association studies (23,948 asthma cases, 118,538 controls) of individuals from ethnically diverse populations. We identified five new asthma loci, found two new associations at two known asthma loci, established asthma associations at two loci previously implicated in the comorbidity of asthma plus hay fever, and confirmed nine known loci. Investigation of pleiotropy showed large overlaps in genetic variants with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The enrichment in enhancer marks at asthma risk loci, especially in immune cells, suggested a major role of these loci in the regulation of immunologically related mechanisms.

<p>Aim We performed a replication study in a Japanese population to evaluate the association between type 2 diabetes and six susceptibility loci (TMEM154, SSR1, FAF1, POU5F1, ARL15, and MPHOSPH9) originally identified by a transethnic meta-analysis of genomewide association studies (GWAS) in 2014. Methods We genotyped 7,620 Japanese participants (5,817 type 2 diabetes patients and 1,803 controls) for each of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction invader assay. The association of each SNP locus with the disease was evaluated using logistic regression analysis. Results Of the six SNPs examined in this study, four (rs6813195 near TMEM154, rs17106184 in FAF1, rs3130501 in POU5F1 and rs4275659 near MPHOSPH9) had the same direction of effect as in the original reports, but two (rs9505118 in SSR1 and rs702634 in ARL15) had the opposite direction of effect. Among these loci, rs3130501 and rs4275659 were nominally associated with type 2 diabetes (rs3130501; p = 0.017, odds ratio [OR] = 1.113, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.019-1.215, rs4275659; p = 0.012, OR = 1.127, 95% CI 1.026-1.238, adjusted for sex, age and body mass index), but we did not observe a significant association with type 2 diabetes for any of the six evaluated SNP loci in our Japanese population. Conclusions Our results indicate that effects of the six SNP loci identified in the transethnic GWAS metaanalysis are not major among the Japanese, although SNPs in POU5F1 and MPHOSPH9 loci may have some effect on susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in this population.</p>

　View Summary

<p>Aim:The association between aging and insulin resistance has been unclear. We evaluated the effects of aging on visceral fat area (VFA) and subcutaneous fat area (SFA) measured by computed tomography, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and homeostasis model assessment of β-cell function (HOMA-β) among participants in a comprehensive health checkup. Methods: This study included 1,050 male and 700 female Japanese participants aged 35-84 years in our comprehensive health checkup program during a 2-year period. Participants who were on medication for diabetes mellitus or those who met the pre-determined exclusion criteria were excluded. The participants were divided into five groups according to age. Results: As age increased from Group 1 to Group 5, both VFA and VFA/SFA ratio significantly increased in both male and female participants, whereas log[HOMA-IR] linearly and significantly decreased (p＜0.0001 for each). Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and SFA increased with age in female participants but decreased in male participants. Although age was not or only weakly correlated with log[glucose] and log[HbA1c] in both male and female participants, age showed significant negative correlations with log[insulin], log[HOMA-IR], and log[HOMA-β] even after adjusting for BMI and WC (p＜0.0001 for each). Serum high-molecular-weight adiponectin (HMW-ADPN) levels were measured in 114 male and 87 female participants, and log[HMW-ADPN] was negatively correlated with log[HOMA-IR] and positively correlated with age in both male and female participants. Conclusions: In the present study, both male and female participants showed increases in VFA and VFA/SFA ratio and decreases in insulin, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-β with age.</p>

<p>Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 80 susceptibility loci for type 2 diabetes (T2D), but most of its heritability still remains to be elucidated. In this study, we conducted a meta-analysis of GWAS for T2D in the Japanese population. Combined data from discovery and subsequent validation analyses (23,399 T2D cases and 31,722 controls) identify 7 new loci with genome-wide significance (P-8), rs1116357 near CCDC85A, rs147538848 in FAM60A, rs1575972 near DMRTA1, rs9309245 near ASB3, rs67156297 near ATP8B2, rs7107784 near MIR4686 and rs67839313 near INAFM2. Of these, the association of 4 loci with T2D is replicated in multi-ethnic populations other than Japanese (up to 65,936 T2Ds and 158,030 controls, P</p>

<p>Low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels are implicated as a risk factor for hip and spine fractures. Studies of the relation between 25(OH)D levels and fractures have primarily involved elderly osteoporosis patients or patients with fractures; however, the serum 25(OH)D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) status in younger adult populations remains largely unknown. We evaluated serum 25(OH)D and intact PTH levels in 411 women aged 39–64 years who were not receiving medication for osteoporosis or other bone diseases. Serum 25(OH)D levels were positively correlated with age (P = 0.019), whereas intact PTH levels were inversely correlated with 25(OH)D levels (P &lt;0.001). Thus, low vitamin D levels with high intact PTH levels were more common in younger than in older women. Our data show that serum 25(OH)D insufficiency could be a more serious concern in the younger population than had been previously anticipated. Because serum 25(OH)D insufficiency is reportedly a risk factor for hip and spine fracture, the number of fracture patients could increase in the future, suggesting that we may need to correct the serum vitamin D/intact PTH status to prevent future osteoporosis.</p>

　View Summary

<p>Aims: To evaluate the association of rs7578597 in THADA, rs10886471 in GRK5, rs7403531 in RASGRP1, and rs6723108 in TMEM163 with type 2 diabetes among the Japanese we performed a replication study of the association of these single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci. Methods: We genotyped these 4 SNPs for 10,287 Japanese participants (7,478 type 2 diabetes, 2,809 controls) and used logistic regression analysis to examine the association of these SNPs with type 2 diabetes. Results: Rs6723108 was not polymorphic in our control group, and was excluded from the analysis. Rs7578597 was nominally associated with type 2 diabetes (p = 0.0186, odds ratio = 0.55, 95 % confidence interval = 0.33–0.90 adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index); however this association was not significant after Bonferroni correction (p ≥ 0.0125) and the effect direction was not consistent with that in the original report. There was significant heterogeneity in the allele frequency of rs7578597 among our control groups, and the nominal association was no longer observed (p = 0.58) after excluding a control collection in which the risk allele frequency was significantly higher than those in the other control collections. The remaining 2 SNP loci were not associated with type 2 diabetes in this Japanese population (p ≥ 0.05). We did not observe a significant association between the 3 SNPs and glycemic traits. Conclusions: The 4 loci have no significant effect on susceptibility to type 2 diabetes among the Japanese, although further evaluation with larger cohorts is necessary, especially for rs7578597 in THADA.</p>

　View Summary

<p>The objective was to clarify whether dietary palmitic acid supplementation affects glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway in pancreatic islets in mice. Eight-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three treatment diet groups: control diet, palmitic acid-supplemented diet (PAL) and oleic acid-supplemented diet (OLE). After 2 weeks of treatment, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test and intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test were performed. GSIS was assessed by pancreatic perfusion in situ with basal (100 mg/dL) glucose followed by a high (300 mg/dL) glucose concentration. We measured mRNA levels of ER stress markers such as C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), immunoglobulin heavy-chain binding protein (BIP) and X-box binding protein (XBP)-1 using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses in isolated islets. Immunohistochemical staining was also performed. Mice fed PAL showed significantly decreased glucose tolerance (p &lt; 0.05). In the perfusion study, GSIS was significantly suppressed in the PAL group (p &lt; 0.05). Semi-quantitative RT-PCR revealed that islet CHOP, BIP, and XBP-1 mRNA expression were significantly increased in the PAL group (p &lt; 0.05). TUNEL-positive β-cells were not detected in all groups. Dietary palmitic acid-supplementation for 2 weeks might suppress GSIS and induce ER stress in pancreatic islets in mice, in the early stage of lipotoxicity.</p>

　View Summary

<p>Aim: We performed a replication study in a Japanese population to evaluate the association between type 2 diabetes and 7 susceptibility loci originally identified by European genomewide association study (GWAS) in 2012: ZMIZ1, KLHDC5, TLE1, ANKRD55, CILP2, MC4R, and BCAR1. We also examined the association of 3 additional loci: CCND2 and GIPR, identified in sex-differentiated analyses, and LAMA1, which was shown to be associated with non-obese European type 2 diabetes. Methods: We genotyped 6,972 Japanese participants (4,280 type 2 diabetes patients and 2,692 controls) for each of the 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): rs12571751 in ZMIZ1, rs10842994 near KLHDC5, rs2796441 near TLE1, rs459193 near ANKRD55, rs10401969 in CILP2, rs12970134 near MC4R, rs7202877 near BCAR1, rs11063069 near CCND2, rs8108269 near GIPR, and rs8090011 in LAMA1 using a multiplex polymerase chain reaction invader assay. The association of each SNP locus with the disease was evaluated using a logistic regression analysis. Results: All SNPs examined in this study had the same direction of effect (odds ratio &gt; 1.0, p = 9.77 × 10&lt;sup&gt;-4&lt;/sup&gt;, binomial test), as in the original reports. Among them, rs12571751 in ZMIZ1 was significantly associated with type 2 diabetes [p = 0.0041, odds ratio = 1.123, 95% confidence interval 1.037-1.215, adjusted for sex, age and body mass index (BMI)], but we did not observe significant association of the remaining 9 SNP loci with type 2 diabetes in the present Japanese population (p ≥ 0.005). A genetic risk score, constructed from the sum of risk alleles for the 7 SNP loci identified by un-stratified analyses in the European GWAS meta-analysis were associated with type 2 diabetes in the present Japanese population (p = 2.3 × 10 &lt;sup&gt;-4&lt;/sup&gt;, adjusted for sex, age and BMI). Conclusions: ZMIZ1 locus has a significant effect on conferring susceptibility to type 2 diabetes also in the Japanese population.</p>

　View Summary

<p>Although over 60loci for type 2 diabetes (T2D) havebeenidentified, there still remains a large geneticcomponent to be clarified. To explore unidentified loci for T2D, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 6 209 637 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which were directly genotyped or imputed using East Asian references from the 1000 Genomes Project (June 2011 release) in 5976 Japanese patients with T2D and 20 829 nondiabetic individuals. Nineteen unreported loci were selected and taken forward to follow-up analyses. Combined discovery and follow-up analyses (30 392 cases and 34 814 controls) identified three new loci with genome-wide significance, which were MIR129-LEP [rs791595; risk allele 5 A; risk allele frequency (RAF) 5 0.080; P 5 2.55 × 10^-13; odds ratio (OR) 5 1.17], GPSM1 [rs11787792; risk allele 5 A; RAF 5 0.874; P 5 1.74 × 10^-10; OR 5 1.15] and SLC16A13 (rs312457; risk allele 5 G; RAF 5 0.078; P 5 7.69 × 10^-13; OR 5 1.20). This study demonstrates that GWASs based on the imputation of genotypes using modern reference haplotypes such as that from the 1000 Genomes Project data can assist in identification of new loci for common diseases. © The Author 2013.

　View Summary

<p>Background: The relationship between tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related parameters and cardiorenal metabolic factors is still controversial in clinical hypertension. Methods: Normotensive men (NT, n=60) and treated stage 2 and 3 essential hypertensive men (HT, n=89) were enrolled in this study. The relationship between TNF-related parameters and cardiorenal metabolic factors was examined in NT and HT, separately. Results: HT showed higher rates of insulin resistance and enhanced chronic inflammation compared with NT. The levels of soluble TNF receptor 1 and 2 were significantly higher in HT than in NT, although TNF-a levels were unexpectedly lower in HT than in NT. Regression analysis indicated that the TNF-related parameters were closely linked with mild renal dysfunction both in NT and HT, and moderately related to chronic inflammation only in HT. HT taking inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system showed improved insulin resistance, but no difference in the TNF-related parameters. Conclusion: These results suggest that the disturbed TNF system is closely linked with chronic inflammation rather than with insulin resistance in HT. © 2014 Wichtig Editore.</p>
