Abstract

This article reports the results of the 16th National Survey conducted by the Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery (JSES) for 2020 and 2021. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was first introduced to Japan in 1990 and has rapidly become popular because of its minimally invasive nature. Since then, the number of objective organs and indications for laparoscopic surgery have gradually expanded. In 2021, 290 787 patients underwent endoscopic surgery in all surgical domains. Of these, 124 614, 110 757, 23 156, 21 771, 6543, 2614, 535, 465, 247, and 58 underwent abdominal, obstetric and gynecologic, thoracic, urological, pediatric, orthopedic, bariatric, mammary and thyroid gland, cardiovascular, and plastic surgery, respectively. Owing to the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) infection spread, the incidence of many surgeries decreased in 2020, and levels are only now gradually recovering. However, despite the impact of COVID‐19, robot‐assisted surgeries were increasingly applied. The rate of complications did not change significantly, indicating that the procedure was performed safely, even with the spread of COVID‐19. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Japan has experienced population decline since 2010 and the situation is expected to become more severe after 2030 with forecasts indicating an expected 30% decline from 2005 to 2055. Many other developed countries such as Germany and Korea are also experiencing depopulation. These demographic changes are expected to affect society at many levels such as labour markets decline, increased tax burden to sustain pension systems, and economic stagnation. Little is known however about the impacts of population decline on man-made physical infrastructure, such as possible deterioration of current infrastructure or increased financial burden of sustaining it. Infrastructure can be classified into 3 categories: point-type (e.g. buildings), point-network type (e.g. water supply) and network type (e.g. road). The impact of depopulation may vary according to the type of infrastructure. Previous research in this area has been limited in scope (e.g. case studies conducted in a single city focusing on a single type of infrastructure) and method (e.g. most research in the topic has been qualitative). This thesis presents a new comprehensive study on the impacts of population decline on infrastructure in Japan, taking into account all types of infrastructure and using a quantitative approach. Data collection methods include interviews and two large scale questionnaire surveys, the first conducted with municipalities and the second, a stated preference survey, conducted with members of the public. The goal of sustainable development is relevant even in a depopulated society, and hence a sustainable development framework is applied to the analysis where social, economic, environmental and engineering impacts are investigated. The main findings indicate that some infrastructure impacts observed and reported in depopulated areas do not seem to be related to any population decline; moreover, the preferences of citizens for infrastructure development is very similar between depopulated areas and non-depopulated areas. The results also suggest that the premises of Barro’s overlapping generations model, very relevant to a discussion of intergenerational decision making and related sustainability, appear to be rejected in this context.

Abstract

Raumplaner*innen setzen sich mit Perspektiven auseinander, die Lebensqualität und zukünftige Entwicklung von Städten und Regionen betreffen und von gesellschaftlicher Relevanz sind. Basierend auf unterschiedlichen institutionellen und kulturellen Rahmenbedingungen sind Planungssysteme mit vergleichbaren Merkmalen entstanden. Diese Systeme sind an die jeweiligen kulturellen, normativen und räumlichen Voraussetzungen angepasst. In diesem Artikel präsentieren wir eine vergleichende Untersuchung, um Veränderungen in Planungskulturen aufzuzeigen im Kontext schrumpfender Städte in den USA, in Deutschland, und in Japan. Die Ergebnisse ermöglichen mit Blick auf Schrumpfungsprozesse Interdependenzen zwischen Veränderungen in Planungskulturen und gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen aufzuzeigen und Planungskulturen aus dem Blickwinkel der Refiguration von Räumen zu beleuchten. Schlussfolgernd stellen wir die Hypothese auf, dass Planungskulturen entsprechend einer polykontexturalen Logik durch eine Vielzahl von Faktoren bedingt werden, wie zum Beispiel geografische Einheiten (Staaten, Regionen, Städte) und auch Themen wie Stadtschrumpfung., Spatial planners deal with aspects related to the quality of life and future development of cities and regions, which are highly relevant for society. Due to various institutional and cultural settings, spatial planning systems emerged with comparable features. However, such systems have been adapted to specific cultural, normative, and spatial conditions. In our study, we conducted a comparison to investigate changes in planning cultures in the context of shrinking cities across the USA, Germany and Japan. The findings make it possible to detect interdependencies between changes in planning cultures and societal changes in the wake of shrinkage processes and potentially to place planning cultures in the perspective of a refiguration of spaces. We conclude with the hypothesis that planning cultures are framed by an array of factors in a somewhat polycontexturalized mode, such as geographic entities (nations, regions, cities), and also topics such as shrinking cities.

Abstract

In Japan, the first endoscopic surgery, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, was performed in 1990. Since then, operative procedures have been standardized, and the safety and efficacy of endoscopic surgery have been evaluated. In accordance with the social acceptance of endoscopic surgery as a less invasive type of surgery, the number of endoscopic procedures performed has increased in all surgical domains. The Japan Society for Endoscopic Surgery (JSES) has played an important role in the development of endoscopic surgery in Japan. Notably, a technical skills certification system for surgeons was established by the JSES to train instructors on how to teach safe endoscopic surgery. Furthermore, the JSES has conducted a national survey every 2 years. In 2019, 291,792 patients underwent endoscopic surgery in all surgical domains, such as abdominal, thoracic, mammary and thyroid gland, cardiovascular, obstetrics and gynecology, urologic, orthopedic, and plastic surgery. The 15th National Survey of Endoscopic Surgery conducted by the JSES demonstrated the status of laparoscopic surgery in Japan in 2018–2019. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The air-liquid interface (ALI) is a common microenvironment of the skin, but it is unknown whether the ALI affects melanoma cell behaviors. Using a collagen gel invasion assay, immunohistochemistry, and Western blots, here we show that melanoma cell proliferation in cultures with an ALI is higher than melanoma cell proliferation in submerged cultures. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) uptake, an indicator of cell proliferation, of melanoma cells at the ALI was about 3 times that of submerged cells, while ALI and submerged melanoma cells had similar levels of single-stranded DNA (a marker of apoptosis). The ALI enhanced the expression of Raf-1, MEK-1 and pERK-1/2 components of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade, in cells more than the submerged condition did. The increases in BrdU uptake and pERK-1/2 expression promoted by ALI was abolished by the MEK inhibitor, PD-98059. ALI-treated and submerged melanoma cells did not infiltrate into the collagen gel, and they showed no significant difference in the expression of the invasion- and motility-related molecules, matrix metalloproteinase-1 and -9, laminin 5, and filamin A. Our data indicate that the ALI, a skin microenvironment, accelerates the growth, but not the apoptosis or invasion, of melanoma cells through MAPK activation.
