From Teachers’ Minds to Speakers’ Minds in the Applications to Psychology and Philosophy, Connected to Sociolinguistics in the Ways of Interactions for Better Relationships to Make Parts of Narratives Open
This paper is focused on discourse analyses that give us an insight that there is a cultural difference in showing empathy in dialogues from the issue of sociolinguistics. It would be based on further investigations and promotions to learn…

To Give a Ready Consent to the Offer of Assessments in Measuring an Ability of Manipulating Languages in Secondary Education Open
This paper shows that usages of language should be measured at levels of expert, intermediate, and waystage even though learners give teachers a lot in outputs if they are not correct as grammatical structures and forms for meanings in con…

Just listen to it, so the brain works automatically: the referential identifiability and accessibility of anaphors and ellipsis in discourse as it, this, that, do, do it, do this, and do that Open
The aims of this paper are to put forward that teachers should use listening textbooks in classrooms and to explore the analyses of the usages of anaphors and ellipsis in listening materials as our new attainment against old-fashioned teac…

Suppression of chloroplast triose phosphate isomerase evokes inorganic phosphate-limited photosynthesis in rice Open
The availability of inorganic phosphate (Pi) for ATP synthesis is thought to limit photosynthesis at elevated [CO2] when Pi regeneration via sucrose or starch synthesis is limited. We report here another mechanism for the occurrence of Pi-…

A case of colorectal cancer associated with ulcerative colitis Open
A UC patient in his 40s was revisited to our department due to bloody stools. So, colonoscopy was performed to find out his UC condition. He detected an elevated lesion in the cecum that did not see six months ago. A biopsy revealed adenoc…

Ascending Colon Schwannoma Surgically Treated after Accurate Preoperative Diagnosis Open
Colorectal schwannomas are rare and usually benign gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors. However, these tumors are often overtreated, possibly owing to misleading malignant potential. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of…

High yielding ability of a large-grain rice cultivar, Akita 63 Open
To increase the yield potential while limiting the environmental impact of N management practices is an important issue in rice cultivation. The large-grain rice cultivar Akita 63 showed higher N-use efficiency for grain production. To elu…

Effects of overexpression of the Rubisco small subunit gene under the control of the Rubisco activase promoter on Rubisco contents of rice leaves at different positions Open
Photosynthetic activity is expected to be maintained during leaf senescence if the amount of Rubisco is maintained. As the mRNA level of the Rubisco gene decreases rapidly just before the stage of full expansion, its overexpression after f…

A case of advanced colonic cancer discovered by bacteremia caused by <i>Streptococcus bovis</i> Open
The patient was a 66-year-old woman who had not been to the hospital or taking any medication. She visited our hospital with chief complaints of fever, headache, and general malaise. Blood tests showed an abnormally high inflammatory respo…

Effects of Overproduction of Rubisco Activase on Rubisco Content in Transgenic Rice Grown at Different N Levels Open
It has been reported that overproduction of Rubisco activase (RCA) in rice (Oryza sativa L.) decreased Rubisco content, resulting in declining photosynthesis. We examined the effects of RCA levels on Rubisco content using transgenic rice w…

Rats deficient C-type natriuretic peptide suffer from impaired skeletal growth without early death Open
We have previously investigated the physiological role of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) on endochondral bone growth, mainly with mutant mouse models deficient in CNP, and reported that CNP is indispensable for physiological endochondral…

A Case of Serous Cystic Neoplasm of the Pancreas with Remarkable Mobility of the Tumor Open
症例は36歳，女性．上腹部に可動性腫瘤を自覚し，CTで嚢胞性腫瘍を指摘され受診．触診で上腹部に5cm大の腫瘤を触知し，用手的に容易に左右に移動した．画像では蜂巣状構造を呈し，漿液性嚢胞腺腫が疑われた．腫瘤径が4cm以上であったため手術を行った．腫瘤は膵頭部前面から膵外へ広基性に発生しており，基部となっている膵実質も含めて腫瘤を摘出した．病理組織学的検査でmicro cystic typeの漿液性嚢胞腺腫と診断した．術中所見では膵臓自体には可動性がなく，腫瘍が膵外発育をしたこ…

Circulating osteocrin stimulates bone growth by limiting C-type natriuretic peptide clearance Open
Although peptides are safe and useful as therapeutics, they are often easily degraded or metabolized. Dampening the clearance system for peptide ligands is a promising strategy for increasing the efficacy of peptide therapies. Natriuretic …

Xenopericardial roll graft replacement for infectious pseudoaneurysms and graft infections of the aorta Open
Because xenopericardial roll grafts are not composed of synthetic material, the replacement procedure is simpler and less invasive than the standard procedure. Based on the favorable results obtained, this procedure may have the possibilit…
