Abstract
A two-channel microwave reflectometer system with fast microwave antenna switching capability was developed and applied to the GAMMA 10 tandem mirror device to study high-frequency small-amplitude fluctuations in a hot mirror plasma. The fast switching of the antennas is controlled using PIN diode switches, which offers the significant advantage of reducing the number of high-cost microwave components and digitizers with high bandwidths and large memory that are required to measure the spatiotemporal behavior of the high-frequency fluctuations. The use of two channels rather than one adds the important function of a simultaneous two-point measurement in either the radial direction or the direction of the antenna array to measure the phase profile of the fluctuations along with the normal amplitude profile. The density fluctuations measured using this system clearly showed the high-frequency coherent fluctuations that are associated with Alfvén-ion-cyclotron (AIC) waves in GAMMA 10. A correlation analysis applied to simultaneously measured density fluctuations showed that the phase component that was included in a reflected microwave provided both high coherence and a clear phase difference for the AIC waves, while the amplitude component showed neither significant coherence nor clear phase difference. The axial phase differences of the AIC waves measured inside the hot plasma confirmed the formation of a standing wave structure. The axial variation of the radial profiles was evaluated and a clear difference was found among the AIC waves for the first time, which would be a key to clarify the unknown boundary conditions of the AIC waves.

Abstract
In the divertor simulation experiments in the GAMMA 10/PDX tandem mirror, pressure of the neutral gas was investigated by using a fast ionization gauge. The gauge was absolutely calibrated for hydrogen gas by using a capacitance manometer. Change of the gauge sensitivity due to the magnetic field of GAMMA 10/PDX was also evaluated. The typical gas pressure measured in detached plasma experiments was 0.1-10 Pa. The degree of plasma detachment determined from the reduction of heat flux was enhanced as the gas pressure increases. Rapid increase of the gas pressure under the plasma flow was also observed.

Abstract
In conventional multichannel/imaging microwave diagnostics of interferometry, reflectometry, and electron cyclotron emission measurements, a local oscillator (LO) signal is commonly supplied to a receiver array via irradiation using LO optics. In this work, we present a 60-GHz interferometer with a new eight-channel receiver array, called a local oscillator integrated antenna array (LIA). An outstanding feature of LIA is that it incorporates a frequency quadrupler integrated circuit for LO supply to each channel. This enables simple and uniform LO supply to the receiver array using only a 15-GHz LO source and a coaxial cable transmission line instead of using an expensive 60-GHz source, LO optics, and a waveguide transmission line. The new interferometer system is first applied to measure electron line-averaged density inside the divertor simulation experimental module (D-module) on GAMMA 10/PDX tandem mirror device.

Abstract
We have developed an analysis method to improve the accuracies of electron temperature measurement by employing a fitting technique for the raw Thomson scattering (TS) signals. Least square fitting of the raw TS signals enabled reduction of the error in the electron temperature measurement. We applied the analysis method to a multi-pass (MP) TS system. Because the interval between the MPTS signals is very short, it is difficult to separately analyze each Thomson scattering signal intensity by using the raw signals. We used the fitting method to obtain the original TS scattering signals from the measured raw MPTS signals to obtain the electron temperatures in each pass.

Abstract
A novel method of ultrafast rotation of a ring-shaped optical lattice in the picosecond time region was proposed and demonstrated. Our ring-lattice generator was assembled by a pair of linearly chirped pulses with a time delay, a high-order birefringent retarder, and an axially symmetric polarization element. Using a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser oscillator as a light source, stable two-, four-, and six-petaled ring-lattice rotations were demonstrated with the rotation periods of 1.6, 3.2, and 4.8 ps, respectively. Our method has the potential to open up a new technique to resonantly excite propagating quasi-particles together with their coherent enhancement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We analyzed the diagnostic performance of the MR imaging findings of the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands to discriminate between patients with and without Sjögren's syndrome. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the correlation between the MR imaging and histopathological findings obtained from 69 patients with clinically suspected Sjögren's syndrome. We evaluated the heterogeneous signal intensity distribution on T1- and T2-weighted images, the multiple high-signal-intensity spots on MR sialograms, and the volume of the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual salivary glands. RESULTS The multiple high-signal-intensity spots in the parotid gland showed the highest sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy (82% and 83%, respectively). In addition, the multiple high-signal-intensity spots and the heterogeneous signal intensity distribution in the submandibular gland showed high specificity (100% and 88%, respectively). The volume of the submandibular gland, but not that of the parotid or sublingual gland, was smaller in patients with Sjögren's syndrome. CONCLUSIONS The presence of multiple high-signal-intensity spots on an MR sialogram in the parotid gland should be considered the best diagnostic indicator for Sjögren's syndrome. The presence of spots, heterogeneity, and the change to smaller volumes in the submandibular gland were also helpful because of their high specificity, particularly in advanced cases.

Abstract
Abstract
(Purpose)
Considering the dramatic increase in average life expectancy throughout the world, the management of super-elderly patients over 80 years old (SEP) with breast cancer has become a global issue. However, there have been few clinical trials for SEP until now. The reasons for this were a small population, unpredictable prognosis, a large number of non-cancer-related deaths and a lower function of multiple organs in SEP. Surgical treatment or post-operative treatment based on evidence of clinical trials for SEP has also not been unclear. We hypothesized that the outcome of SEP with breast cancer compared with other ages were similarly depended on the breast cancer subtypes.
The aim of this study was to clarify the breast cancer related survival (BRS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate at 5years for SEP according to breast cancer subtype.
(Methods)
We retrospectively analyzed 407 patients over 80 years old at initial operation between April, 1994 and April 2015 from 4 institutions of Chiba Youth Breast Oncology Research Group.
Overall, 366 patients with stage I to Stage IIIc were included.
41 patients with Stage 0 or IV were excluded in this study.
We compared the clinical characteristics, OS and BRS rates among the breast cancer subtype: such as ER positive HER2 negative (ER group), ER negative HER2 negative (TN group), ER negative HER2 positive (HER2 group) and ER positive HER2 positive (ER/HER2 group).
Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the factors of Tumor size, Lymph node, Ly, ER, HER2 and characteristics, associated with the OS and BRS.
(Results)
The median age of the 366 patients was 83 years (range 80-96 years).The median follow-up duration was 32 months (range, 2-120).
During the follow-up period, 25 (9.4%) patients in the ER group, 19 (27.5%) in TN group, 4 (22.2%) in HER2 group and 2 (20.0%) patients in ER-HER2 group died.
The 5 year OS and BRS rates were 89.2%, 97.1% in ER group, 64.6%, 81.2% in TN group, 61.5%,33.3% in HER2 group and 83.3%, 100% in ER-HER2 group, respectively.
Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that ER was one prognostic factor to OS and BRS.
ER positive patients treatment with Aromatase inhibitor had significantly longer survival rates than treatment with Tamoxifen or no treatment (p=0.05).
There were no significant differences in OS or BRS of TN patients according to the use of chemotherapy (n=7) versus non treatment (n=61).
(Conclusions)
The prognosis and clinical course of super elderly patients with breast cancer depended on subtype.
Adjuvant therapy for ER group was one prognostic factor to OS and BRS.

Abstract
The Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) Index was developed as a risk index for health outcomes in HIV, and it has been consistently associated with mortality. It shows a significant, yet relatively weak, association with neurocognitive impairment, and little is known about its utility among ethnic/racial minority groups. We examined whether the association between the VACS Index and neurocognition differed by ethnic/racial group. Participants included 674 HIV-infected individuals (369 non-Hispanic whites, 111 non-Hispanic blacks, and 194 Hispanics). Neurocognitive function was assessed via a comprehensive battery. Scaled scores for each neurocognitive test were averaged to calculate domain and global neurocognitive scores. Models adjusting for demographics and HIV disease characteristics not included in the VACS Index showed that higher VACS Index scores (indicating poorer health) were significantly associated with worse global neurocognition among non-Hispanic whites. This association was comparable in non-Hispanic blacks, but nonsignificant among Hispanics (with similar results for English and Spanish speaking). We obtained comparable findings in analyses adjusting for other covariates (psychiatric and medical comorbidities and lifestyle factors). Analyses of individual neurocognitive domains showed similar results in learning and delayed recall. For other domains, there was an effect of the VACS Index and no significant interactions with race/ethnicity. Different components of the VACS Index were associated with global neurocognition by race/ethnicity. In conclusion, the association between the VACS Index and neurocognitive function differs by ethnic/racial group. Identifying key indicators of HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment by ethnic/racial group might play an important role in furthering our understanding of the biomarkers of neuroAIDS.

Abstract
Targeting cell motility, which is required for dissemination and metastasis, has therapeutic potential for ovarian cancer metastasis, and regulatory mechanisms of cell motility need to be uncovered for developing novel therapeutics. Invasive ovarian cancer cells spontaneously formed protrusions, such as lamellipodia, which are required for generating locomotive force in cell motility. Short interfering RNA screening identified class II phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase C2β (PI3KC2β) as the predominant isoform of PI3K involved in lamellipodia formation of ovarian cancer cells. The bioactive sphingolipid ceramide has emerged as an antitumorigenic lipid, and treatment with short-chain C6-ceramide decreased the number of ovarian cancer cells with PI3KC2β-driven lamellipodia. Pharmacological analysis demonstrated that long-chain ceramide regenerated from C6-ceramide through the salvage/recycling pathway, at least in part, mediated the action of C6-ceramide. Mechanistically, ceramide was revealed to interact with the PIK-catalytic domain of PI3KC2β and affect its compartmentalization, thereby suppressing PI3KC2β activation and its driven cell motility. Ceramide treatment also suppressed cell motility promoted by epithelial growth factor, which is a prometastatic factor. To examine the role of ceramide in ovarian cancer metastasis, ceramide liposomes were employed and confirmed to suppress cell motility in vitro. Ceramide liposomes had an inhibitory effect on peritoneal metastasis in a murine xenograft model of human ovarian cancer. Metastasis of PI3KC2β knocked-down cells was insensitive to treatment with ceramide liposomes, suggesting specific involvement of ceramide interaction with PI3KC2β in metastasis suppression. Our study identified ceramide as a bioactive lipid that limits PI3KC2β-governed cell motility, and ceramide is proposed to serve as a metastasis-suppressor lipid in ovarian cancer. These findings could be translated into developing ceramide-based therapy for metastatic diseases.

Abstract
To break the vicious circle between malnutrition and severe infection which has been linked to the great magnitude of infant deaths worldwide, we have been searching by means of clinical and experimental studies for measures which provide for rapid enhancement of body defenses. Based on clinical observations of malnourished children and the sequence of recovery during nutritional rehabilitation, it is suggested that the complement system is a more important factor during the early stage of nutritional recovery than CMI. In animal experiments using malnourished rats, nutritional deprivation affected various components of the body defense system to various extents, CMI being the most susceptible to influence. The complement system acted to maintain host defense even when CMI was impaired. Also observed was the earlier recovery of serum complement to normal or higher levels as compared with that of CMI. The complement system responded to bacterial infection much earlier than other immunologic responses, even in malnourished rats with depressed CMI. The infected rats showed a much higher rate of de novo synthesis of complement proteins than noninfected rats, and this effect was predominant in the malnourished group. Based on these animal experiments, we attempted to induce rapid heightened resistance to infection in malnourished rats by enhancing the complement system. After administration of proper doses of lentinan or Zn-chlorophyllin, which are known to activate C3 in vitro, to malnourished rats, heightened resistance against bacterial infection was induced together with a heightened complement response. In contrast, after administration of cobra venom factor, which is known to reduce C3 activity both in vitro and in vivo, resistance against bacterial infection was reduced, even in well-nourished rats. In summary, we have analyzed in the malnourished state the mechanism of heightened resistance against bacterial infection after activation of C3 by lentinan or Zn-chlorophyllin. These C3 activators enhanced C3b formation and iC3b formation in vivo, eventually resulting in enhanced interaction of iC3b present on invaders with CR3 on phagocytic cells.

Abstract
Hematoxylin stain was used to demonstrate localization of Zn2+-binding proteins in the skin of the newborn rat. The binding protein showed different solubilities and the zinc binding was dissociated at pH 4.5. Epidermal proteins were extracted stepwise in Tris-HCl buffer containing NaCl at 4 degrees C and 37 degrees C, 1 M potassium phosphate, and 4 M urea. Zn2+-binding protein was obtained from each extract by means of Zn2+ chelate affinity chromatography. We detected elution of histidine-rich protein from the affinity column with a pH 4.5 buffer by 3H-histidine labeling and immunoreactivity to rabbit IgG directed to histidine-rich protein. Amino acid analysis demonstrated that the compositions of the Zn2+-binding proteins soluble in the different extracts not only resemble each other, but are essentially the same as those of histidine-rich protein of the newborn rat skin as previously reported. However, sodium dodecylsulfate gel electrophoresis showed multiple protein bands ranging from Mr less than 25,000 to Mr greater than 200,000. The findings indicate that histidine-rich protein of different forms and solubility exists, in the epidermis and may be involved in the biological function of the cells through metal-binding.

Abstract
Keratin extracted from keratinized cells of newborn rats polymerizes into filaments in vitro and this polymerization has been shown to be greatly stimulated by addition of divalent cations. In this study we investigated the optimum conditions for filament formation by use of CaCl2, ZnCl2, and GdCl3, a trivalent lanthanide. It was found that a concentration about 10 times higher was required for elongation and formation of wider filaments with CaCl2 when compared with that for ZnCl2, GdCl3 caused enhanced polymerization with an even lower concentration. Effects of fixation(s) and other processing techniques used for routine electron microscopy on the polymerized keratin filaments were also examined by electron microscopy and SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Degradation of keratin protein was detected in various steps involved in handling of the keratin filaments. These results indicate that ultrastructural studies of keratin in epidermal cells in situ may be improved by re-evaluation of presently used experimental procedures.

Abstract
Plasmon properties such as peak position, extinction cross-section and local electric field intensity are strongly dependent on excited, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) modes. In non-spherical copper chalcogenide nanoparticles, assignment of the LSPR peaks to the corresponding oscillation modes has been controversial and requires experimental verification. We determined the in-plane LSPR mode of roxbyite Cu7S4 nanodisks from the plasmon coupling effect of nanodisks in solution. Compared with individual Cu7S4 nanodisks, self-assembled Cu7S4 nanodisk arrays in chloroform exhibited a blue-shifted LSPR peak with weaker optical density. This strongly suggests that the singular LSPR peak in the near-infrared region mainly originates from the in-plane oscillation mode. In addition, we demonstrate that the same LSPR peak can be readily tuned by controlling the number of disks in the array.

Abstract
A multi-pass Thomson scattering (TS) has the advantage of enhancing scattered signals. We constructed a multi-pass TS system for a polarisation-based system and an image relaying system modelled on the GAMMA 10 TS system. We undertook Raman scattering experiments both for the multi-pass setting and for checking the optical components. Moreover, we applied the system to the electron temperature measurements in the GAMMA 10 plasma for the first time. The integrated scattering signal was magnified by approximately three times by using the multi-pass TS system with four passes. The electron temperature measurement accuracy is improved by using this multi-pass system.

Abstract
Acidocin 8912, a bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus acidophilus TK8912, was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and successive chromatographies on CM-cellulose, Sephadex G-50, Sephadex G-25, and reversed-phase HPLC on Aquapore RP-300. The purified acidocin 8912 migrated as a single band on SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight was estimated to be 5200 by SDS-PAGE, and 5400 by HPLC gel filtration on TSKgel G3000PWXL. Both the amino acid composition and the N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis indicated that acidocin 8912 was a peptide composed of presumably 50 amino acids containing a Lys residue at the N-terminus. The purified acidocin 8912 showed a bactericidal effect on sensitive cells but not a bacteriolytic effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion kurtosis is a statistical measure for quantifying the deviation of the water diffusion profile from a Gaussian distribution. The current study evaluated the time course of diffusion kurtosis in patients with cerebral infarctions, including perforator, white matter, cortical, and watershed infarctions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Subjects were 31 patients, representing 52 observations of lesions. The duration between the onset and imaging ranged from 3 hours to 122 days. Lesions were categorized into 4 groups listed above. Diffusion kurtosis images were acquired with b-values of 0, 1000, and 2000 s/mm(2) applied in 30 directions; variables including DWI signal, ADC, fractional anisotropy, radial diffusivity, axial diffusivity, radial kurtosis, and axial kurtosis, were obtained. The time courses of the relative values (lesion versus contralateral) for these variables were evaluated, and the pseudonormalization period was calculated. RESULTS Diffusion kurtosis was highest immediately after the onset of infarction. Trend curves showed that kurtosis decreased with time after onset. Pseudonormalization for radial/axial kurtosis occurred at 13.2/59.9 days for perforator infarctions, 33.1/40.6 days for white matter infarctions, 34.8/35.9 days for cortical infarctions, and 34.1/28.2 days after watershed infarctions. For perforator infarctions, pseudonormalization occurred in the following order: radial kurtosis, ADC, axial kurtosis, and DWI. CONCLUSIONS Diffusion kurtosis variables in lesions increased early after infarction and decreased with time. Information provided by diffusion kurtosis imaging, including axial and radial kurtosis, seems helpful in conducting a detailed evaluation of the age of infarction, in combination with T2WI, DWI, and ADC.

Abstract
Abstract A 48-year old man who had been treated with prednisolone, aminophylline, and pranlukast, a leukotriene-receptor antagonist, was diagnosed with Churg-Strauss syndrome based on the findings of asthma, eosinophilia, mononeuropathy, and extravascular eosinophils. Intractable neuropathic pain of the legs was successfully controlled with an N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonist, dextromethorphan. We suggest that dextromethorphan receptor antagonists may be a useful treatment for the pain of neuropathy caused by vasculitis syndrome.

Abstract
We have revealed the fundamental mechanism of specific Cs(+) adsorption into Prussian blue (PB) in order to develop high-performance PB-based Cs(+) adsorbents in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear accident. We compared two types of PB nanoparticles with formulae of Fe(III)4[Fe(II)(CN)6]3·xH2O (x = 10-15) (PB-1) and (NH4)0.70Fe(III)1.10[Fe(II)(CN)6]·1.7H2O (PB-2) with respect to the Cs(+) adsorption ability. The synthesised PB-1, by a common stoichiometric aqueous reaction between 4Fe(3+) and 3[Fe(II)(CN)6](4-), showed much more efficient Cs(+) adsorption ability than did the commercially available PB-2. A high value of the number of waters of crystallization, x, of PB-1 was caused by a lot of defect sites (vacant sites) of [Fe(II)(CN)6](4-) moieties that were filled with coordination and crystallization water molecules. Hydrated Cs(+) ions were preferably adsorbed via the hydrophilic defect sites and accompanied by proton-elimination from the coordination water. The low number of hydrophilic sites of PB-2 was responsible for its insufficient Cs(+) adsorption ability.

Abstract
Genetic variation in the IL-28B (interleukin-28B; interferon lambda 3) region has been associated with sustained virological response (SVR) rates in patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with peginterferon-α and ribavirin. However, the mechanisms by which polymorphisms in the IL-28B gene region affect host antiviral responses are not well understood. Using the HCV 1b and 2a replicon system, we compared the effects of IFN-λs and IFN-α on HCV RNA replication. The anti-HCV effect of IFN-λ3 and IFN-α in combination was also assessed. Changes in gene expression induced by IFN-λ3 and IFN-α were compared using cDNA microarray analysis. IFN-λs at concentrations of 1 ng/mL or more exhibited concentration- and time-dependent HCV inhibition. In combination, IFN-λ3 and IFN-α had a synergistic anti-HCV effect; however, no synergistic enhancement was observed for interferon-stimulated response element (ISRE) activity or upregulation of interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs). With respect to the time course of ISG upregulation, the peak of IFN-λ3-induced gene expression occurred later and lasted longer than that induced by IFN-α. In addition, although the genes upregulated by IFN-α and IFN-λ3 were similar to microarray analysis, interferon-stimulated gene expression appeared early and was prolonged by combined administration of these two IFNs. In conclusion, IFN-α and IFN-λ3 in combination showed synergistic anti-HCV activity in vitro. Differences in time-dependent upregulation of these genes might contribute to the synergistic antiviral activity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study investigated oxidative stress in the liver, by determining hepatic expression and serum levels of γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in different stages of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and assessed whether GGT can differentiate between the various stages of NAFLD. METHODS Expression of GGT and 8-OHdG was examined in biopsy specimens by immunohistochemistry, and serum GGT and 8-OHdG levels were measured by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assays in patients with simple fatty liver (n = 10), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH; n = 10) and, as a control, in alcoholic liver disease (ALD; n = 10). RESULTS Hepatic tissue expression of GGT and 8-OHdG was seen in ALD, NASH and fatty liver patients. The percentage of hepatocytes positive for 8-OHdG expression and serum 8-OHdG levels was significantly higher in patients with NASH than simple fatty liver. Serum GGT levels were increased in all cases with ALD, NASH and fatty liver, and correlated significantly with serum levels of 8-OHdG in ALD and NASH, but not in simple fatty liver. CONCLUSIONS Levels of GGT in fatty liver patients may compensate for mild oxidative stress by repressing 8-OHdG levels and preventing progression to NASH; however further oxidative stress leads to increased levels of 8-OHdG and the development of NASH.

Abstract
The Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome is a form of recurrent uveitis with often a poor long-term visual acuity. The risk factors for recurrence of the VKH syndrome were investigated statistically by using a multiple logistic regression model. The clinical data of 87 patients were used for the statistical analysis. Among them, 58 patients (66.8%) had no recurrences, while 29 patients (33.3%) had recurrences. By multiple logistic regression analysis, dysacousia (p<0.01), cutaneous manifestations (p<0. 05), prodromal symptoms (p<0. 05), onset to treatment interval (days) (p<0. 05) and retinal detachment (p<0. 01) were significantly and independently associated with the recurrence. The Relapse Score was constructed by using a logistic model as follows: Relapse Score=+1. 459X (Dysacousia) + 1. 458x (Cutaneous manifestations) +0. 032x (Onset to treatment interval) -1. 637x (Prodromal symptoms) -1. 773x (Retinal detachment)+1. 247. It is supposed that the Relapse Score might be helpful for predicting the clinical course and modifying the dose or duration of systemic steroid therapy of the patients with the VKH syndrome.
