     View Summary

    Detailed investigation of extremely severe pathological conditions in ancient human skeletons is important as it could shed light on the breadth of potential interactions between humans and disease etiologies in the past. Here, we applied palaeoproteomics to investigate an ancient human skeletal individual with severe oral pathology, focusing our research on bacterial pathogenic factors and host defense response. This female skeleton, from the Okhotsk period (i.e., fifth to thirteenth century) of Northern Japan, poses relevant amounts of abnormal dental calculus deposition and exhibits oral dysfunction due to severe periodontal disease. A shotgun mass-spectrometry analysis identified 81 human proteins and 15 bacterial proteins from the calculus of the subject. We identified two pathogenic or bioinvasive proteins originating from two of the three "red complex" bacteria, the core species associated with severe periodontal disease in modern humans, as well as two additional bioinvasive proteins of periodontal-associated bacteria. Moreover, we discovered defense response system-associated human proteins, although their proportion was mostly similar to those reported in ancient and modern human individuals with lower calculus deposition. These results suggest that the bacterial etiology was similar and the host defense response was not necessarily more intense in ancient individuals with significant amounts of abnormal dental calculus deposition.

  • Specific pelvic shape in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip on 3D morphometric homologous model analysis.

     View Summary

    PURPOSE: To clarify the morphological factors of the pelvis in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), three-dimensional (3D) pelvic morphology was analyzed using a template-fitting technique. METHODS: Three-dimensional pelvic data of 50 patients with DDH (DDH group) and 3D pelvic data of 50 patients without obvious pelvic deformity (Normal group) were used. All patients were female. A template model was created by averaging the normal pelvises into a symmetrical and isotropic mesh. Next, 100 homologous models were generated by fitting the pelvic data of each group of patients to the template model. Principal component analysis was performed on the coordinates of each vertex (15,235 vertices) of the pelvic homologous model. In addition, a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was calculated from the sensitivity of DDH positivity for each principal component, and principal components for which the area under the curve was significantly large were extracted (p<0.05). Finally, which components of the pelvic morphology frequently seen in DDH patients are related to these extracted principal components was evaluated. RESULTS: The first, third, and sixth principal components showed significantly larger areas under the ROC curves. The morphology indicated by the first principal component was associated with a decrease in coxal inclination in both the coronal and horizontal planes. The third principal component was related to the sacral inclination in the sagittal plane. The sixth principal component was associated with narrowing of the superior part of the pelvis. CONCLUSION: The most important factor in the difference between normal and DDH pelvises was the change in the coxal angle in both the coronal and horizontal planes. That is, in the anterior and superior views, the normal pelvis is a triangle, whereas in DDH, it was more like a quadrilateral.

     View Summary

    OBJECTIVES: We test the hypothesis that the condition(s) leading to the development of cribra orbitalia at Con Co Ngua, an early seventh millennium sedentary foraging community in Vietnam, effectively reduced the resilience of the population to subsequent health/disease impacts. An assessment of both the implications and potential etiology of cribra orbitalia in this specific population is carried out. METHODS: The effective sample included 141 adults aged ≥15 years (53 females, 71 males, and 17 unknown sex) and 15 pre-adults aged ≤14 years. Cribra orbitalia was identified by way of cortical bone porosity of the orbital roof initiated within the diplöic space, rather than initiated subperiosteally. The approach is also robust to the misidentification of various pseudo-lesions. Resultant data was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS: Median survival is higher in adults aged ≥15 years without cribra orbitalia than those with this lesion. For the pre-adult cohort, the opposite pattern is seen where median survival is higher in those with cribra orbitalia than those without. CONCLUSION: Adults displayed increased frailty and pre-adults increased resilience with respect to cribra orbitalia. The differential diagnosis for a survival analysis of adults and pre-adults with and without cribra orbitalia included iron deficiency anemia and B12/folate deficiency, parasitism (including hydatid disease and malaria) in addition to thalassemia. The most parsimonious explanation for observed results is for both thalassemia and malaria being the chief etiological agents, while appreciating these conditions interact with, and can cause, other forms such as hematinic deficiency anemias.

     View Summary

    This study emphasizes a "two-layer model” for eastern Eurasian anatomically modern human (AMH), based on cranial morphometric and genome data including findings from ancient archaeological contexts. Results suggest that an initial “first layer” of AMH had related closely to ancestral Andaman, Australian, Papuan and Jomon groups who likely entered this region via the Southeast Asian landmass. A later “second layer” shared strong cranial affinities with Siberians, implying a Northeast Asian source, in central China and then followed by expansions of descendant groups into Southeast Asia after Neolithic period. These two populations shared limited initial exchange, and the second layer grew at a faster rate and in greater numbers, linked with contexts of farming that may have supported increased population densities. Clear dichotomization between the two layers implies a temporally deep divergence of distinct migration routes for AMH through both southern and northern Eurasia.

     View Summary

    Current Eastern Eurasia have been widely occupied by Asians morphologically adapted cold climate during last glacial stage, who had hypothetically dispersed from East to Southeast Asia along with agricultural society including plant and animal domestication since Neolithic period onward. Pre-Neolithic hunter-gatherers in Yongjiang River Region, Guangxi in Southern China uniquely produced seated squatting burials, at the Huiyaotien Site and the Liyupo Site, which dated approximately 7,000 - 9,000 years BP. These skeletal morphology, speciously in cranial forms, exhibits characteristic quite distinctive from current East Asians. Cranial metric analysis demonstarted their close affinities to current Australo-Papuans and early Holocene Hoabinhian foragers in mainland Southeast Asia. These early settlers in China, as well as Neolithic Jomonese in Japan, are key population to reconstruct so-called ‘Two Layer’ model in addressing population history of Eastern Eurasia.

     View Summary

    Archaeologists and anthropologists collaborated to study Hobi shellmounds and human skeletons excavated from this site. As the result, we found and excavated very rare burial called BANJOU-SHUKOTU.This is the secondary burial practice, which is consisted by human long bones, as femur or humerus, putting them square, and have been found only less than ten cases.We analyzed this unique burial and many archaeological and anthropological data such as human skeletal data, isotope data, mtDNA data, pathological data, and so on. Through this study, we could make the effective study model of collaboration between archaeology and anthropology.
