    Research paper (journal)  

    Maintaining good oral health is important because oral diseases are related to systemic diseases, and community pharmacies play a key role in maintaining the health of local residents. This study aimed to examine the effects of oral health check-ups and information provision at community pharmacies on oral health-associated behaviors as well as patient satisfaction. We conducted oral health check-ups and provided information about oral health self-care to 84 patients at a community pharmacy, and then asked them to complete a questionnaire survey. One month later, we sent them a follow-up questionnaire and received responses from 66.7% (56/84) of the participants. The large majority were satisfied with the salivary test (95.2%) and the information (96.4%) we provided. Most of the participants (89.3%) indicated that they wanted to use the oral health check-up service again in the future. Compared with baseline, the ratio of participants restricting their intake of sugar-rich foods and drinks significantly increased 1 month later (p = 0.021). About 60% of those who had not undergone a regular dental examination at baseline reported newly visiting or planning to visit a dental clinic. The results revealed high satisfaction with the oral health check-up and information about oral self-care they received at the community pharmacy. The results suggested that oral health check-ups had the potential to change both oral self-care habits and dental consultation behavior. Our findings indicate that community pharmacies can contribute to the maintenance and promotion of oral health by providing oral health check-ups to local residents.

  • Analysis of spontaneous inquiries about suspected adverse drug reactions posted by the general public on the electronic Japanese bulletin board "Yahoo! Japan Chiebukuro".

    Research paper (journal)  

    PURPOSE: Spontaneous inquiries about the development of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to medicines can be extracted based on the questions posted by the general public on the electronic Japanese bulletin board "Yahoo! Japan Chiebukuro". Our aim was to clarify the characteristics related to people's descriptions of suspected ADRs and determine the reasons for submitting a spontaneous inquiry. METHODS: Fifty brand names of medicines used for inquiry extraction were chosen by selecting 35 pharmaceutical products, based on the generic names that had the highest sales in Japan. Questions containing both the brand name of one of these medicines and the term "Fukusayō" (ADR in Japanese) that were posted from July 2004 to June 2009 were extracted from the site. RESULTS: Among 1,419 questions extracted, 614 questions had at least one identifiable brand name of a suspected medicine, an ADR description, and the extent to which the ADR appeared to be caused by the suspected medicine(s). Among these 614 questions, 589 described in detail the symptoms/signs that the inquirers themselves or their families had experienced as ADRs. The highest number of questions was found for Paxil (525). Posts asking whether the symptoms being experienced were due to an ADR accounted for the highest number of questions. In most cases, the inquirer suspected that a single medicine led to an ADR and was seeking advice from others taking the same medicine. CONCLUSION: Our examination of spontaneous inquiries showed that people have sufficient knowledge to adequately report potential ADRs in terms of their symptoms, suspected medicines, and the disease for which the medicine was used. However, they often did not describe the start time when the ADR appeared or when the suspected medicine was started.

  • Patients views and experiences in online reporting adverse drug reactions: findings of a national pilot study in Japan.

    BACKGROUND: Patients have been allowed to report adverse drug reactions (ADRs) directly to the government in some countries, which would contribute to pharmacovigilance. OBJECTIVE: We started a pilot study to determine whether web-based patient ADR reporting would work in Japan. This article aims to describe the characteristics of the patient reporters, and to clarify patient views and experiences of reporting. METHODS: Patients who submitted online ADR reports were contacted to respond to an ADR reporting questionnaire; only consenting reporters were included. Subjects with multiple responses were excluded from analysis. The questionnaire consisted of both closed and open questions. Questionnaire responses were examined using Pearson's chi-squared test. RESULTS: A total of 220 web-based ADR reports were collected from January to December 2011; questionnaires were sent to 190 reporters, excluding those who gave multiple reports and those that refused to be contacted. Responses were obtained from 94 individuals (effective response rate: 49.5%). The median respondent age was 46.0 years. Sixty-three respondents found out about this pilot study on the Internet (67.0%). The numbers of respondents claiming that they had difficulty recalling the time/date of ADR occurrence were 16 patient reporters and three non-patient reporters. The number of reporters who found it difficult to complete the online reporting form was 22 patients (26.2%) and one non-patient (10%). Fifty-seven respondents (60.6%) expected feedback after reporting and many respondents wanted to know the process of ADR data collection and related information. Seventy-three respondents (77.7%) stated that they would report ADRs again in future. CONCLUSION: Throughout the entire questionnaire, online patient ADR reporting was received with a forward-looking, positive approach. To facilitate smoother web-based reporting experiences in future, some improvements may be required in online ADR reporting forms, particularly with regard to respondent feedback.

  • Overexpressed mitochondrial hinge protein, a cytochrome c-binding protein, accelerates apoptosis by enhancing the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria

    M Okazaki, Y Ishibashi, S Asoh, S Ohta

    BIOCHEMICAL AND BIOPHYSICAL RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS ( ACADEMIC PRESS INC )  243 ( 1 ) 131 - 136   1998.02

    Research paper (journal)  

    Holocytochrome c released from mitochondria has been revealed to be one of the contributors of apoptosis. To investigate how the cytochrome c protein is released from mitochondria, we examined the effects of overexpression of the hinge protein, a cytochrome c-binding protein, or cytochrome c on apoptosis by introducing their cDNAs under a constitutive promoter. Overexpression of the cytochrome c and hinge protein mRNAs was confirmed by Northern blotting, although marked accumulation of the cytochrome c protein was not observed. In transfectants of the hinge protein gene as well as cytochrome c gene, apoptosis was accelerated as judged by FITC-conjugated Annexin V binding to the cell surface and DNA fragmentation. In addition, enhancement of the release of cytochrome c into cytosol was demonstrated in these transfectants by a subcellular fractionation experiment, followed by Western blotting. These findings suggest that the release of the cytochrome c protein from mitochondria is regulated by the hinge protein involved in the respiratory chain in the apoptotic process.

  • Leukocyte activation by (1→3)-beta-D-glucans

    Research paper (journal)  

    We studied the activities of several kinds of P-glucans, including sonifilan, grifolan, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum glucan, laminarin and zymosan, on macrophages, Preculture of macrophages with inactive beta-glucans rendered the cells unresponsive to subsequent stimulation with grifolan, suggesting a specific pathway in the beta-glucan structure, The importance of protein C and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase was demonstrated in the activation with grifolan or zymosan, Immunoprecipitation of complement receptor (CR3), coprecipitated other proteins carrying phosphotyrosine residues in stimulation with grifolan, These data suggest that protein kinase C and tyrosine kinases are essential for signal transduction, and that CR3 might participate in the activation through interaction with other intracellular proteins.
