    Minamino et al. Arthritis Research & Therapy (2021) 23:96 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13075-021-02479-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Urinary sodium-to-potassium ratio associates with hypertension and current disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a cross-sectional study Hiroto Minamino1,2*†, Masao Katsushima3†, Motomu Hashimoto4* , Yoshihito Fujita1*, Tamami Yoshida5, Kaori Ikeda1, Nozomi Isomura1, Yasuo Oguri1, Wataru Yamamoto6, Ryu Watanabe4, Kosaku Murakami3, Koichi Murata4,7, Kohei Nishitani4, Masao Tanaka4, Hiromu Ito4,7, Koichiro Ohmura3, Shuichi Matsuda7, Nobuya Inagaki1 and Akio Morinobu3 Abstract Background: Excessive salt intake is thought to exacerbate both development of hypertension and autoimmune diseases in animal models, but the clinical impact of excessive salt in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients is still unknown. We performed a cross-sectional study to clarify the associations between salt load index (urinary sodium- to-potassium ratio (Na/K ratio)), current disease activity, and hypertension in an RA population. Methods: Three hundred thirty-six participants from our cohort database (KURAMA) were enrolled. We used the spot urine Na/K ratio as a simplified index of salt loading and used the 28-Joint RA Disease Activity Score (DAS28- ESR) as an indicator of current RA disease activity. Using these indicators, we evaluated statistical associations between urinary Na/K ratio, DAS28-ESR, and prevalence of hypertension. Results: Urinary Na/K ratio was positively associated with measured systolic and diastolic blood pressure and also with prevalence of hypertension even after covariate adjustment (OR 1.34, p < 0.001). In addition, increased urinary Na/K ratio was significantly and positively correlated with DAS28-ESR in multiple regression analysis (estimate 0.12, p < 0.001), as was also the case in gender-separated and prednisolone-separated sub-analyses.

The development area for this project is in an industrial park located approximately 3 km from the Hirakata-higashi and Hirakata Gakken interchanges on the Second Keihan Highway, and approximately 1.5 km from Nagao Station on the JR Katamachi Line. The location is suitable for deliveries to the Osaka and Kyoto areas, being located approximately 3 km from National Route 1, a major highway connecting Kyoto and Osaka. Moreover, from the business continuity planning perspective, the Kansai inland area is highly sought-after and considered scarce land resources suitable for logistics facility development. The project includes a whole-building lease to OTT Logistics Co., Ltd. The five-story building (four stories in the warehouse section) will have a gross area of 20,398.12 m2 on a site of 10,629.36 m2. Construction will commence in September 2014, and is scheduled for completion in July 2015.

  • RASA-Japan SINCE 1985 RASA Newsletter July 2013 Edition, Volume 14
    2013 年 7 月号 VOL.14 NPO 法人 RASA-Japan SINCE 1985 RASA Newsletter July 2013 Edition, Volume 14 Dear Friends of RASA, I would like to wish all of you the peace and love of God and thank you for your generosity in helping us. Here, I would like to write a little about our recent activities and our immediate plans for the fu- ture. On Saturday, May 25th, we had our annual meeting at Hirabari Catholic Church, which was led by Mr. Norio Fujii, our Office Manager. Besides our staff and regular members, I was delighted to see some of last year's volunteers at the meeting. After we finished our official business, they gave a power point presentation of our activities in Angeles City, Pampanga Province, a two-hour drive north of Manila, where we worked last year. Ever since that time, these volunteers have been giving a great deal of their time to support RASA. Their generosity is an inspiration to all of us. We finished the first of our three study session on Saturday, June 15th. It took place in one of the large dining rooms of Nanzan University, Nagoya campus. Almost all of those committed to the pro- gram this summer—fifty-two volunteers—were present at the meeting. We will be in the Philippines between Thursday, August 15, and Sunday, September 1. It seems that the government has reduced the ODA (Overseas Development Assistance) funds to half of what they have been providing. Because of this, we decided that RASA alone would provide the funds for our school-building program this summer.

  • Intensive Japanese Course and Bachelor's
    Intensive Japanese Course and Bachelor’s Degree WHY HOKKAIDO? Hokkaido is the northernmost region of Japan, consisting of one large island and over 500 surrounding islands. Dotting the center of the main island are mountain ranges and impressive volcanoes surrounded by sweeping coastal plains. The islands’ total land mass is 83,000km² which makes up 22% of the total land mass of Japan. Hokkaido is known for its amazing food, natural beauty, world-class skiing resorts and unique history. Hokkaido University is right in the center of Sapporo, Japan’s fifth-largest city with a population of 1.97 million. You will never be short of options when it comes to eating out with friends, taking in Sapporo’s vibrant cultural scene, or going out for a night on the town. Sapporo has something for everyone. Today, Hokkaido has a population of 5.3 million people, but the region was only fully incorporated into Japan in the mid-nineteenth century. Hokkaido is the home of the indigenous Ainu people. As a place where various cultures meet, Hokkaido is an ideal location to consider issues of cultural diversity and multiculturalism in Japan, Asia and beyond.

  • A Theological Analysis of the Non-Church Movement in Korea with a Special Reference to the Formation of Its Spirituality
    A THEOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE NON-CHURCH MOVEMENT IN KOREA WITH A SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE FORMATION OF ITS SPIRITUALITY by SUN CHAE HWANG A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For the Degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham June 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation.

ABSTRACT This study provides a new theological approach for interpreting the Non- Church Movement (NCM) in Korea. Previous studies have been written from a historical perspective. Therefore, an examination of the spirituality and characteristics of the NCM from a theological standpoint is a new approach. The present study investigates the connection between the NCM and Confucianism. It attempts to highlight the influence of Confucian spirituality on the NCM, in particular the Confucian tradition of learning. It also examines the link between the NCM and Quakerism, in particular the influence of Quaker ecclesiology on the NCM. This too has not been examined in previous studies. The thesis argues that the theological roots of NCM ecclesiology lie in the relatively flat ecclesiology of the Quaker movement in the USA.
