Abstract
Adoptive immunotherapies have been developed for antiviral agent-refractory cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease after stem cell transplantation (SCT). However, the application of such strategies is limited, particularly in terms of need for donor cooperation regarding blood sampling and inaccessibility in the setting of cord blood transplantation. Herein, we describe the first successful treatment of antiviral agent-refractory CMV enteritis after allogeneic SCT by the infusion of ex vivo-expanded donor-derived CD4(+) lymphocytes obtained from the recipient's peripheral blood.

Abstract
We report on the measurement of the first 2(+) and 4(+) states of (66)Cr and (70,72)Fe via in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy. The nuclei of interest were produced by (p,2p) reactions at incident energies of 260 MeV/nucleon. The experiment was performed at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory, RIKEN, using the DALI 2γ-ray detector array and the novel MINOS device, a thick liquid hydrogen target combined with a vertex tracker. A low-energy plateau of 2(1)(+) and 4(1)(+) energies as a function of the neutron number was observed for N≥38 and N≥40 for even-even Cr and Fe isotopes, respectively. State-of-the-art shell model calculations with a modified Lenzi-Nowacki-Poves-Sieja (LNPS) interaction in the pfg(9/2)d(5/2) valence space reproduce the observations. Interpretation within the shell model shows an extension of the island of inversion at N=40 for more neutron-rich isotopes towards N=50.

Abstract
A new gaseous active target based on a time projection chamber, named CAT, is introduced. The remarkable feature is a dual gain THGEM to decrease the effective gain for the beam particles while keeping a high enough effective gain for the recoil particles. The measured effective gain of low gain region was a factor of one hundred smaller than that of high gain region. This technique provides a wide dynamic range in order to detect both the beam and recoil particles at the same time even with a very high intensity beam of more than 105 Hz.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Restrictions in range of ankle dorsiflexion (DF) motion can persist following ankle injuries. Ankle DF is necessary during terminal stance of gait, and its restricted range may affect knee joint kinematics and kinetics. The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute influence of varied levels of restricted ankle DF on knee joint sagittal and frontal plane kinematics and kinetics during gait. METHODS Thirty healthy volunteers walked with a custom-designed ankle brace that restricted ankle DF. Kinematics and kinetics were collected using a 7-camera motion analysis system and two force plates. Ankle dorsiflexion was restricted in 10-degree increments, allowing for four conditions: Free, light (LR), moderate (MR) and severe restriction (SR). Knee angles and moments were measured during terminal stance. RESULTS Real peak ankle DF for Free, LR, MR, and SR were 13.7±4.8°, 11.6±5.0°, 7.5±5.3°, and 4.2±7.2°, respectively. Peak knee extension angles under the same conditions were -6.7±6.7°, -5.4±6.4°, -2.5±7.5°, and 0.6±7.8°, respectively, and the peak knee varus moment was 0.48±0.17 Nm/kg, 0.47±0.17 Nm/kg, 0.53±0.20 Nm/kg, and 0.57±0.20 Nm/kg. The knee varus moment was significantly increased from MR condition with an 8-degree restriction in ankle DF. CONCLUSION Knee joint kinematics and kinetics in the sagittal and frontal planes were affected by reduced ankle DF during terminal stance of gait. Differences were observed with restriction in ankle DF range of approximately 8°. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Cryopreservation of microorganism cultures is an important technology for their use as biological and genetic resources; however, the procedure is complicated and depends on the species. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used the two-step freezing method for the cryopreservation of the green alga Parachlorella kessleri. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The optimal cryoprotectant for cryopreservation was 5% dimethyl sulfoxide plus 5% ethylene glycol. This is different from the optimal cryoprotectant for the closely related species Chlorella vulgaris. Efficient cryopreservation of P. kessleri was achieved using methanol, similar to Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. A membrane-specific fluorescent dye, FM1-43, was applied to estimate plasma membrane integrity. We found that the plasma membrane integrity of P. kessleri cells after freeze-thawing was associated with survivability, suggesting that this is a useful index for the optimization of the first step of the two-step freezing method of cryopreservation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A common haplotype M2 consisting of minor SNP alleles located in the ANXA5 gene promoter region has been described as a risk factor for various obstetric complications such as recurrent pregnancy loss, pre-eclampsia and pregnancy-related thrombophilic disorder. However, the question of whether it is the maternal or fetal genotype that contributes to the onset of these disorders remains to be resolved. METHODS We analyzed ANXA5 gene variants in the blood and placental tissues from pre-eclampsia patients and normotensive controls. ANXA5 expression was examined by qRT-PCR, Western blotting and immunostaining. Results were compared between M2 and non-M2 carriers. RESULTS The M2 haplotype was found to be significantly frequent in placentas from pre-eclamptic patients relative to the controls (25.5% versus 10%, P = 0.044), In contrast, no significant differences were observed in maternal blood (13.0% versus 11.3%, P = 0.597). The placental expression of ANXA5 mRNA was found to be lower in M2 carriers. When examined by Western blot and immunostaining, the ANXA5 protein levels were found to be affected more by the placental than the maternal genotype. Histological examination of the placentas from the pre-eclamptic patients demonstrated that a placental M2 haplotype correlated more closely than maternal M2 with the severity of perivillous fibrin deposition. CONCLUSIONS Although preliminary, these results suggest that hypomorphic M2 alleles in the in placental ANXA5 promoter, whether transmitted maternally or paternally, might be an essential determinant of an increased risk of pre-eclampsia via local thrombophilia at the feto-maternal interface.

Abstract
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare life-threatening disease of severe hyperinflammation caused by uncontrolled proliferation of activated lymphocytes and macrophages that secrete high amounts of inflammatory cytokines. HLH occurring after SCT is difficult to diagnose. It is characterized by severe clinical manifestations and high mortality. Despite current therapeutic approaches, outcomes remain poor. We analyzed the incidence and risk factors of HLH after SCT and the response to treatment and prognosis of 554 patients with HLH after SCT. The cumulative incidence of HLH after SCT was 4.3% (24/554). Use of etoposide in the conditioning regimen was only factor that reduced HLH after SCT (P=0.027). All patients who received autologous transplantation were successfully treated. Patients with liver dysfunction (for example, high total bilirubin level, prolonged prothrombin time and high level of fibrinogen degradation products) had a poor response to treatment for HLH. Physicians should be cautious of HLH, while not using etoposide for conditioning regimen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is reported to promote collagen synthesis and cell proliferation as well as enhance cartilage repair. Our previous study revealed that the intracapsular injection of muscle derived stem cells (MDSCs) expressing bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4) combined with soluble Flt-1 (sFlt1) was effective for repairing articular cartilage (AC) after osteoarthritis (OA) induction. The current study was undertaken to investigate whether PRP could further enhance the therapeutic effect of MDSC therapy for the OA treatment. METHODS MDSCs expressing BMP-4 and sFlt1 were mixed with PRP and injected into the knees of immunodeficient rats with chemically induced OA. Histological assessments were performed 4 and 12 weeks after cell transplantation. Moreover, to elucidate the repair mechanisms, we performed in vitro assays to assess cell proliferation, adhesion, migration and mixed pellet co-culture of MDSCs and OA chondrocytes. RESULTS The addition of PRP to MDSCs expressing BMP-4 and sFlt1 significantly improved AC repair histologically at week 4 compared to MDSCs expressing BMP-4 and sFlt1 alone. Higher numbers of cells producing type II collagen and lower levels of chondrocyte apoptosis were observed by MDSCs expressing BMP-4 and sFlt1 and mixed with PRP. In the in vitro experiments, the addition of PRP promoted proliferation, adhesion and migration of the MDSCs. During chondrogenic pellet culture, PRP tended to increase the number of type II collagen producing cells and in contrast to the in vivo data, it increased cell apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that PRP can promote the therapeutic potential of MDSCs expressing BMP-4 and sFlt1 for AC repair (4 weeks post-treatment) by promoting collagen synthesis, suppressing chondrocyte apoptosis and finally by enhancing the integration of the transplanted cells in the repair process.

Abstract
Excited states in (38,40,42) Si nuclei have been studied via in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy with multinucleon removal reactions. Intense radioactive beams of ^{40}S and (44)S provided at the new facility of the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory enabled γ-γ coincidence measurements. A prominent γ line observed with an energy of 742(8) keV in (42) Si confirms the 2(+) state reported in an earlier study. Among the γ lines observed in coincidence with the 2^{+} → 0+ transition, the most probable candidate for the transition from the yrast 4(+) state was identified, leading to a 4(1)+) energy of 2173(14) keV. The energy ratio of 2.93(5) between the 2(1)+ and 4(1)(+) states indicates well-developed deformation in (42) Si at N = 28 and Z = 14. Also for 38,40)Si energy ratios with values of 2.09(5) and 2.56(5) were obtained. Together with the ratio for (42)Si, the results show a rapid deformation development of Si isotopes from N = 24 to N = 28.

Abstract
High temperature requirement A (HtrA) family proteins are serine proteases that may serve in the quality control of misfolded or mislocalized proteins. Recently, possible involvements of HtrA1 in the normal development of the placenta and in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia were reported. In this study, we characterized HtrA4, a previously uncharacterized HtrA protein family member, in pre-eclampsia. Elevated expression levels of placental HtrA4 in pre-eclampsia patients were observed by qRT-PCR. Western blotting also showed an increased production of HtrA4 at the protein level in pre-eclamptic placentas. In normal chorionic villi, HtrA4 protein was more abundant in the cytoplasm of cytotrophoblasts than in syncytiotrophoblasts. In contrast, the amount of HtrA4 protein in syncytiotrophoblasts was dramatically increased in pre-eclamptic placentas. Circulating HtrA4 was detected at higher levels in sera from women with pre-eclampsia than from those with normotensive pregnancies. Serum HtrA4 levels were higher in patients with early onset and inversely correlated with the weights of the newborn and placenta. Furthermore, serum levels correlated with serum PAPP-A and PAPP-A2 levels, indicating a functional role for HtrA4 in the common pathway. These data suggest that increased HtrA4 may be involved in the onset of pre-eclampsia, and elevated levels in sera imply a potential application as a biomarker for this disorder.

Abstract
The double-differential cross sections for the (208)Pb and (90)Zr(t,(3)He) reactions at 300 MeV/u have been measured at the RI Beam Factory at RIKEN. This was the first physics experiment with the SHARAQ magnetic spectrometer. The combined analysis of the present (t,(3)He) data and previous (n,p) data provides the clearest identification for the β(+) isovector spin monopole resonance both in the (208)Tl and (90)Y nuclei, and puts the observations of this giant resonance on a firm foundation. The measured distributions of the (t,(3)He) monopole cross sections were well reproduced by the distorted-wave Born approximation calculation, where the target transition density was calculated with the self-consistent Hartree-Fock plus random-phase approximation using the T43 Skyrme interaction. A major part of the expected β(+) isovector spin monopole strength was found in the measured cross section spectra.

Abstract
The reduced transition probability B(E2;0(gs)(+)→2(1)(+)) for (28)S was obtained experimentally using Coulomb excitation at 53 MeV/nucleon. The resultant B(E2) value 181(31) e(2)fm(4) is smaller than the expectation based on empirical B(E2) systematics. The double ratio |M(n)/M(p)|/(N/Z) of the 0(gs)(+)→2(1)(+) transition in (28)S was determined to be 1.9(2) by evaluating the M(n) value from the known B(E2) value of the mirror nucleus (28)Mg, showing the hindrance of proton collectivity relative to that of neutrons. These results indicate the emergence of the magic number Z=16 in the |T(z)|=2 nucleus (28)S.

Abstract
While there have been a few reports on cases of intradural spinal arteriovenous fistula located on the filum terminale, no cases of its location in a nerve root of the cauda equina have been reported to date.We describe two such cases and describe the intraoperative findings. A 40-year-old man presented weakness of his left leg. Another 62-year-old man presented paraparesis dominantly in his left leg with urinary hesitation. In both cases, spinal T2-weighted magnetic resonance images showed edema of the spinal cord, indicating a flow void around it. Digital subtraction angiography disclosed an anterior radicular artery branching from the anterior spinal artery on the surface of the conus medullaris and a turnaround vein running in the opposite direction within the cauda equina. In the first patient, while the feeding artery running along a nerve root was detected, the draining vein and the fistula were not identified at first sight. An incision into the respective nerve root exposed their location within it. In the second patient, unlike the first case, the feeding artery and the fistula were buried in a nerve root, while the draining vein was running along the nerve's surface. In both cases, permanent clips were applied to the draining vein closest to the fistula. The recognition of a hidden fistulous point in a nerve root of the cauda equina is essential for successful obliteration of the fistula.

Abstract
The low-lying states in ¹⁰⁶Zr and ¹⁰⁸Zr have been investigated by means of β-γ and isomer spectroscopy at the radioactive isotope beam factory (RIBF), respectively. A new isomer with a half-life of 620 ± 150 ns has been identified in ¹⁰⁸Zr. For the sequence of even-even Zr isotopes, the excitation energies of the first 2⁺ states reach a minimum at N = 64 and gradually increase as the neutron number increases up to N = 68, suggesting a deformed subshell closure at N = 64. The deformed ground state of ¹⁰⁸Zr indicates that a spherical subshell gap predicted at N = 70 is not large enough to change the ground state of ¹⁰⁸Zr to the spherical shape. The possibility of a tetrahedral shape isomer in ¹⁰⁸Zr is also discussed.

Abstract
The β-decay half-lives of 38 neutron-rich isotopes from (36)Kr to (43)Tc have been measured; the half-lives of (100)Kr, (103-105)Sr, (106-108)Y, (108-110)Zr, (111,112)Nb, (112-115)Mo, and (116,117)Tc are reported here. The results when compared with previous standard models indicate an overestimation in the predicted half-lives by a factor of 2 or more in the A≈110 region. A revised model based on the second generation gross theory of β decay better predicts the measured half-lives and suggests a more rapid flow of the rapid neutron-capture process (r-matter flow) through this region than previously predicted.

Abstract
The pyruvate analog, 3-bromopyruvate, is an alkylating agent and a potent inhibitor of glycolysis. This antiglycolytic property of 3-bromopyruvate has recently been exploited to target cancer cells, as most tumors depend on glycolysis for their energy requirements. The anticancer effect of 3-bromopyruvate is achieved by depleting intracellular energy (ATP) resulting in tumor cell death. In this review, we will discuss the principal mechanism of action and primary targets of 3-bromopyruvate, and report the impressive antitumor effects of 3-bromopyruvate in multiple animal tumor models. We describe that the primary mechanism of 3-bromopyruvate is via preferential alkylation of GAPDH and that 3-bromopyruvate mediated cell death is linked to generation of free radicals. Research in our laboratory also revealed that 3-bromopyruvate induces endoplasmic reticulum stress, inhibits global protein synthesis further contributing to cancer cell death. Therefore, these and other studies reveal the tremendous potential of 3-bromopyruvate as an anticancer agent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the endovascular treatment of pseudo-aneurysms (PAs) with super-selective coil embolisation using the 3D packing technique. DESIGN Retrospective study of consecutive patients in one academic centre. MATERIALS From 2002 to 2009, 16 patients (mean age 51.6 years, range 24-82) underwent PA sac packing with coils. Four patients were asymptomatic, nine had PA rupture, and three had other symptoms. Lesion location was as follows: splenic artery (8), carotid artery (2), hepatic artery (2), superior mesenteric artery (1), cystic artery (1), uterine artery (1), and hypogastric artery (1). METHODS The sac was packed with 0.018-inch controlled-detachable microcoils, preserving the parent artery. Magnetic resonance angiography was done within 6 months, at 12 months then yearly. RESULTS Technical success rate was 100%. Complete definitive PA exclusion was achieved with a single procedure in 15 (93.8%) patients. One patient with a secondary bleeding arterio-digestive fistula underwent successful surgery. No major complications or late recanalisations occurred during follow-up (mean, 24.7 months; range 6-49). CONCLUSIONS Coil PA embolisation by 3D sac packing is safe and effective and may induce less morbidity than complete parent vessel occlusion, stent placement, or open surgery. This procedure should be used whenever possible, as it preserves parent artery patency.

Abstract
Although bacterial infection is a major cause of death even after reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) for allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), little is known about the epidemiology and risk factors. The incidence of bacterial infection in 43 patients who received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) using a RIC regimen was compared with that in 68 patients who received BMT using a myeloablative conditioning regimen, and risk factors for bacterial infection were identified. Before engraftment, incidences of febrile neutropenia (FN) and documented infections (DI) were significantly decreased in RIC patients (FN: 59.5% vs. 89.6%, P<0.01, DI: 4.8% vs. 17.9%, P<0.01). However, incidence of bacterial infection was significantly increased in RIC patients in the post-engraftment phase (53.8% vs. 11.1%, log-rank, P<0.01). Blood stream was the most frequent focus of infection in both groups. In multivariate analysis, RIC and acute graft-versus-host disease were revealed to be significant risk factors for bacterial infection in this phase. In summary, risk of bacterial infection after engraftment was significantly higher in RIC patients, although infection was decreased before engraftment, and we need to develop a RIC-specific strategy against bacterial infection after RIC SCT.
