Although no induction of SMAD1, 5, and 9 was observed, there was the activation of SMAD2 and 3 suggesting that sR3 is primarily signaling via the noncanonical pathways during osteogenic induction of the HBO. Our results highlight the important role of TGFβR3 in osteoblast induction of mineralization in human bone cells through noncanonical targets of TGFβ signaling. Future studies will focus on the ability of sR3 to induce bone regeneration in vivo using animal models. This study aimed to characterize the incidence and clinical significance of pregnancy-related aortic dissection using a large-scale survey in Japan. A questionnaire requesting the detailed information included in the clinical charts of pregnancy-related aortic dissection cases (without any personally identifying information) was designed between 2013 and 2017 and administered to 407 perinatal centers in Japan. The response rate was 70.5%. Seventeen cases of pregnancy-related aortic dissection were identified. Maternal death due to aortic dissection was observed in nine patients (56.2%) while seven survived (43.8%). Dissection occurred during the postpartum period in 10 cases (62.5%), the third trimester in 4 (25.0%), labor in 1 (6.2%), and the second trimester in 1 (6.2%). The most common underlying diseases were Marfan syndrome (25.0%), Loeys-Dietz syndrome (6.2%), hypertension (6.2%), and Takayasu aortitis (6.2%). Stanford type A aortic dissection was associated with maternal death during both pregnanstive of aortic dissection, such as severe back pain, are observed, even after the end of pregnancy, exhaustive diagnostic examinations should be carried out. To investigate the role of the interpeduncular angle (IPA) as a new indicator of intracranial hypotension in fetuses with open spinal dysraphism (SD). Two groups o
