Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Both clinical and imaging criteria must be met to diagnose neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and multiple sclerosis. However, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders are often misdiagnosed as MS because of an overlap in MR imaging features. The purpose of this study was to confirm imaging differences between neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and MS with visually detailed quantitative analyses of large-sample data. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively examined 89 consecutive patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (median age, 51 years; range, 16-85 years; females, 77; aquaporin 4 immunoglobulin G-positive, 93%) and 89 with MS (median age, 36 years; range, 18-67 years; females, 68; relapsing-remitting MS, 89%; primary-progressive MS, 7%; secondary-progressive MS, 2%) from 9 institutions across Japan (April 2008 to December 2012). Two neuroradiologists visually evaluated the number, location, and size of all lesions using the Mann-Whitney U test or the Fisher exact test. RESULTS We enrolled 79 patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and 87 with MS for brain analysis, 57 with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and 55 with MS for spinal cord analysis, and 42 with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and 14 with MS for optic nerve analysis. We identified 911 brain lesions in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, 1659 brain lesions in MS, 86 spinal cord lesions in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, and 102 spinal cord lesions in MS. The frequencies of periventricular white matter and deep white matter lesions were 17% and 68% in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders versus 41% and 42% in MS, respectively (location of brain lesions, P < .001). We found a significant difference in the distribution of spinal cord lesions between these 2 diseases (P = .024): More thoracic lesions than cervical lesions were present in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (cervical versus thoracic, 29% versus 71%), whereas they were equally distributed in MS (46% versus 54%). Furthermore, thoracic lesions were significantly longer than cervical lesions in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (P = .001), but not in MS (P = .80). CONCLUSIONS Visually detailed quantitative analyses confirmed imaging differences, especially in brain and spinal cord lesions, between neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and MS. These observations may have clinical implications.

Abstract
We have previously shown that 12 days of high-dose calcineurin inhibition induced tolerance in MHC inbred miniature swine receiving MHC-mismatched lung, kidney, or co-transplanted heart/kidney allografts. However, if lung grafts were procured from donation after brain death (DBD), and transplanted alone, they were rejected within 19-45 days. Here, we investigated whether donor brain death with or without allograft ischemia would also prevent tolerance induction in kidney or heart/kidney recipients. Four kidney recipients treated with 12 days of calcineurin inhibition received organs from donors rendered brain dead for 4 hours. Six heart/kidney recipients also treated with calcineurin inhibition received organs from donors rendered brain dead for 4 hours, 8 hours, or 4 hours with 4 additional hours of cold storage. In contrast to lung allograft recipients, all isolated kidney or heart/kidney recipients that received organs from DBD donors achieved long-term survival (>100 days) without histologic evidence of rejection. Proinflammatory cytokine gene expression was upregulated in lungs and hearts, but not kidney allografts, after brain death. These data suggest that the deleterious effects of brain death and ischemia on tolerance induction are organ-specific, which has implications for the application of tolerance to clinical transplantation.

Abstract
Healthy trabecular bone shows highly anisotropic trabecular architecture and the preferential orientation of collagen and apatite inside a trabecula, both of which are predominantly directed along the cephalocaudal axis. This makes trabecular bone stiff in the principally loaded direction (cephalocaudal axis). However, changes in these anisotropic trabecular characteristics after the insertion of implant devices remain unclear. We defined the trabecular architectural anisotropy and the preferential orientation of collagen and apatite as parameters of trabecular bone health. In the present study, we analyzed these parameters after the implantation of two types of intervertebral fusion cages, open and closed box-type cages, into sheep spines for 2 and 4months. Alteration and evolution of trabecular health around and inside the cages depended on the cage type and implantation duration. At the boundary region, the values of trabecular architectural anisotropy and apatite orientation for the closed-type cages were similar to those for isotropic conditions. In contrast, significantly larger anisotropy was found for open-type cages, indicating that the open-type cage tended to maintain trabecular anisotropy. Inside the open-type cage, trabecular architectural anisotropy and apatite orientation significantly increased with time after implantation. Assessing trabecular anisotropy might be useful for the evaluation of trabecular health and the validation and refinement of implant designs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The superior cervical ganglion and inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve can mimic pathologic retropharyngeal lymph nodes. We studied the cross-sectional anatomy of the superior cervical ganglion and inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve to evaluate how they can be differentiated from the retropharyngeal lymph nodes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study consists of 2 parts. Cohort 1 concerned the signal intensity of routine neck MR imaging with 2D sequences, apparent diffusion coefficient, and contrast enhancement of the superior cervical ganglion compared with lymph nodes with or without metastasis in 30 patients. Cohort 2 used 3D neurography to assess the morphology and spatial relationships of the superior cervical ganglion, inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve, and the retropharyngeal lymph nodes in 50 other patients. RESULTS All superior cervical ganglions had homogeneously greater enhancement and lower signal on diffusion-weighted imaging than lymph nodes. Apparent diffusion coefficient values of the superior cervical ganglion (1.80 ± 0.28 × 10-3mm2/s) were significantly higher than normal and metastatic lymph nodes (0.86 ± 0.10 × 10-3mm2/s, P < .001, and 0.73 ± 0.10 × 10-3mm2/s, P < .001). Ten and 13 of 60 superior cervical ganglions were hypointense on T2-weighted images and had hyperintense spots on both T1- and T2-weighted images, respectively. The latter was considered fat tissue. The largest was the superior cervical ganglion, followed in order by the retropharyngeal lymph node and the inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve (P < .001 to P = .004). The highest at vertebral level was the retropharyngeal lymph nodes, followed, in order, by the inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve and the superior cervical ganglion (P < .001 to P = .001). The retropharyngeal lymph node, superior cervical ganglion, and inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve formed a line from anteromedial to posterolateral. CONCLUSIONS The superior cervical ganglion and the inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve can be almost always differentiated from retropharyngeal lymph nodes on MR imaging by evaluating the signal, size, and position.

Abstract
We investigate the relation between quadrics and their Christoffel duals on the one hand, and certain zero mean curvature surfaces and their Gauss maps on the other hand. To study the relation between timelike minimal surfaces and the Christoffel duals of 1-sheeted hyperboloids we introduce para-holomorphic elliptic functions. The curves of type change for real isothermic surfaces of mixed causal type turn out to be aligned with the real curvature line net.

Abstract
The first elastic electron scattering has been successfully performed at the self-confining radioactive-isotope ion target (SCRIT) facility, the world's first electron scattering facility for SCRIT technique achieved high luminosity (over 10^{27} cm^{-2} s^{-1}, sufficient for determining the nuclear shape) with only 10^{8} target ions. While ^{132}Xe used in this time as a target is a stable isotope, the charge density distribution was first extracted from the momentum transfer distributions of the scattered electrons by comparing the results with those calculated by a phase shift calculation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Injuries to the medial meniscus (MM) posterior root lead to accelerated cartilage degeneration of the knee. An anatomic placement of the MM posterior root attachment is considered to be critical in transtibial pullout repair of the medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT). However, tibial tunnel creation at the anatomic attachment of the MM posterior root is technically difficult using a conventional aiming device. The aim of this study was to compare two aiming guides. We hypothesized that a newly-developed guide, specifically designed, creates the tibial tunnel at an adequate position rather than a conventional device. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six patients underwent transtibial pullout repairs. Tibial tunnel creation was performed using the Multi-use guide (8 cases) or the PRT guide that had a narrow twisting/curving shape (18 cases). Three-dimensional computed tomography images of the tibial surface were evaluated using the Tsukada's measurement method postoperatively. Expected anatomic center of the MM posterior root attachment and tibial tunnel center were evaluated using the percentage-based posterolateral location on the tibial surface. Percentage distance between anatomic center and tunnel center was calculated. RESULTS Anatomic center of the MM posterior root footprint located at a position of 78.5% posterior and 39.4% lateral. Both tunnels were anteromedial but tibial tunnel center located at a more favorable position in the PRT group: percentage distance was significantly smaller in the PRT guide group (8.7%) than in the Multi-use guide group (13.1%). DISCUSSION The PRT guide may have great advantage to achieve a more anatomic location of the tibial tunnel in MMPRT pullout repair. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Regenerating critical-size bone injury is a major problem that continues to inspire the design of new graft materials. Therefore, tissue engineering has become a novel approach for targeting bone regeneration applications. Human teeth are a rich source of stem cells, matrix, trace metal ions, and growth factors. A vital tooth-derived demineralized dentin matrix is acid-insoluble and composed of cross-linked collagen with growth factors. In this study, we recycled human non-functional tooth into a unique geometric dentin scaffold, entitled perforated root-demineralized dentin matrix (PR-DDM). The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of PR-DDM as the scaffold for regenerating bone in critical-size iliac defects. MATERIAL AND METHODS Artificial macro-pores (1 mm in diameter) were added to human vital wisdom tooth after removing the enamel and pulp portions. The modified tooth was demineralized in 0.34 N HNO3 for 30 min and is referred to as PR-DDM scaffold. Critical-size defect (10 mm × 15 mm × 9 mm Ø) was created in the iliac crest of six adult sheep. The in vivo bone regeneration by the scaffold was evaluated by micro-CT, 3D micro-CT, and histological examination at 2 and 4 months post-implantation. RESULTS PR-DDM exhibited better bone ingrowth, especially in the artificial macro-pores. The results of micro-CT and 3D micro-CT revealed good union between scaffold and native bone. New bone formation was observed in almost all portions of PR-DDM. Higher bone volume inside the scaffold was detected at 4 months compared with 2 months. New bone ingrowth was ankylosed with PR-DDM, and both osteoinduction and osteoconduction capability of PR-DDM were confirmed histologically. The ratio of new bone formation was higher at 4 months compared with 2 months by histomorphometric analysis. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, these results demonstrated that the human tooth-derived graft material with a unique geometric structure, PR-DDM, contributed to active bone ingrowth in critical-size bone defects. This novel scaffold may have great utility in the near-future clinical application.

Abstract
22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2 DS) is characterized by cardiac defects, abnormal facial features, thymic hypoplasia, cleft palate, and hypocalcemia, including DiGeorge syndrome (DGS), velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS), and conotruncal anomaly face (CTAF) syndrome. Psychiatric symptoms were recently shown to be very common in patients with 22q11.2 DS, prompting greater interest in this syndrome. Early diagnosis during childhood based on a con- stellation of physical features is optimal ; however, as some patients remain undiagnosed until the presentation of other symptoms in adult life, psychiatrists are well advised to familiarize themselves with basic information concerning 22q11.2 DS. A 25-year-old woman presenting with auditory hallucinations was referred to A hospital for examination and treatment. Her family history revealed both paternal and maternal rela- tives with schizophrenia. At birth, she presented a cleft palate and ventricular septum defect. She first became ambulatory at age 4 and became verbal a year later. Her intelligence quotient was estimated at around 40 and mental retardation (DSM-IV) with autistic features was diag- nosed at age 7. After graduating from a special high school, she obtained fulltime employment in a workshop. However, auditory hallucinations began disrupting her life from 22 years of age. Although olanzapine temporarily alleviated her symptoms, the resultant extrapyramidal symp- toms worsened and she was referred to A hospital again at age 25. The patient presented with micrognathia and a flat nasal root and spoke a maximum of 3 words per sentence in a very high and indistinct tone. A cardiac defect (ventricular septal defect), scoliosis, and low platelets were also observed. The diagnosis of 22qll.2 DS was confirmed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The patient and her family were subsequently introduced to a 22q11.2 DS patients' support group. Careful genetic counseling is paramount, but the diagnosis of 22q11.2 DS can make updated information, official aid, and access to support groups available to patients and their family. Emergency complications such as seizures due to hypocalcemia can also be anticipated. The comparatively late diagnosis of 22q11.2 DS in our patient, which went undetected until the presentation of auditory hallucinations, in the context of mental retardation with autis- tic features (DSM-IV) underscores the importance of detailed clinical observation. "One rare variant" possibly points out the essence of psychiatric pathophysiology. Moreover, 22q11.2 DS has been listed as an intractable disease in Japan since 2015. When patients present with neurodevelopmental disorders and schizophrenic symptoms, we should carefully observe their physical features for clues to the possible diagnosis of 22q11.2 DS.

Abstract
Dental arch morphology and tooth position are affected by lip-closing force (LCF). This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the relationships between the horizontal or vertical balance of the LCF generated during maximum voluntary pursing-like movements and dental arch length (DAL) or width (DAW) or the lingual inclination of the upper or lower 1st molars (LIUM, LILM) in patients with Angle Class I malocclusion. Sixteen subjects with Angle Class I malocclusion (median age: 23·4 ± 5·9 years) who had never undergone orthodontic treatment were randomly selected. LCF was measured in eight directions during maximum voluntary pursing-like lip-closing movements. Dental arch models were scanned and analysed to obtain DAW, DAL, LIUM and LILM measurements. Mandibular deviation was measured on posteroanterior cephalograms. A significant negative correlation was detected between maxillary DAL and upper LCF. Maxillary DAL, DAW and the DAL/DAW ratio displayed significant negative correlations with total LCF and upper LCF. However, no significant correlations were detected between any mandibular dental arch morphological parameter and LCF. The difference in the LIUM between the deviation and non-deviation sides exhibited a significant positive correlation with the difference in upper LCF between the deviation and non-deviation sides and was significantly negatively correlated with the difference in lower LCF between the deviation and non-deviation sides. These results suggest that upper LCF is related to maxillary DAL, and the horizontal balance of the LCF of the upper and lower lips is related to the LIUM during pursing-like lip-closing movements in patients with Angle Class I malocclusion.

Abstract
We report probability distributions of the number of secondary ions (SIs) emitted by sub-MeV C60 ion impacts on an organic polymer target and the characterization of their emission processes through the analysis of the distributions. The probability distributions were obtained by analyzing experimental SI counting data obtained by a time-of-flight SI mass spectrometer combined with pulsed primary ion beams, using an analytical model developed to derive the distributions from the experimental data. A series of probability distribution functions was investigated for ion impacts of C60 with sub-MeV energies (0.12-0.54 MeV), which can provide sufficient SIs per impact to determine the functions. Their complicated and undefined SI emission processes were characterized based on the determined functions.

Abstract
AIMS Molecular epidemiological techniques, such as pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), or multilocus sequence typing (MLST) have facilitated our understanding of the transmission routes of nosocomial infections by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, they are time consuming and technically demanding. To perform molecular epidemiological analysis in a standard microbiology laboratory, we aimed to develop a simpler and effective molecular epidemiological technique based on the open-reading frame (ORF) distribution patterns detected by PCR, which we call PCR-based ORF typing (POT). METHODS AND RESULTS Ten ORFs from genomic islets, five ORFs from genomic islands, and the metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) blaIMP and blaVIM were selected by comparing the whole-genome sequences of different Ps. aeruginosa strains (PAO1, PA7, UCBPP-PA14 and LESB58). These 17 ORFs were detected, along with a Ps. aeruginosa marker, using 9-plex and 10-plex PCR systems. The genotypes in the POT were compared to those obtained by using PFGE and MLST. CONCLUSIONS Using the POT method, molecular epidemiological analyses of Ps. aeruginosa can be completed in 4 h. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Since this method is very easy to perform, even in standard clinical laboratories, it could be a valuable tool for monitoring daily infection control measures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are considerable risks for the secondary spinal cord injury and the initial and/or delayed vertebral artery occlusion in cases of cervical fracture dislocation. CASE PRESENTATION An 86-year-old man was injured in a car accident and was diagnosed with no fracture or dislocation of the cervical spine by the emergency physician. However, he was transferred to our hospital 3 days later because he had motor weakness that was evaluated to be 32 points (out of 50 points) on the upper limb American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) motor score and was diagnosed with spontaneously reduced fracture dislocation at C5/6. Magnetic resonance images revealed that the bilateral vertebral arteries were occluded, and there were some microinfarction lesions in the brain. On the first visit to his previous doctor, he was found to have a flow void in the right vertebral artery. This indicated that it was occluded during the waiting period at his previous doctor. On the day of his arrival at our hospital, the patient underwent a C5/6 posterior spinal fusion. Three months after surgery, he recovered to 46 points on the upper extremity ASIA motor score, and blood flow in the left vertebral artery was resumed. DISCUSSION Early reduction and stabilization are necessary for cervical spine fracture dislocation; however, it is important not only for the prevention of the secondary injury but also for the reduction of the risk of vertebral artery occlusion.

Abstract
The mass vaccination of dogs against rabies is a highly rational strategy for interrupting the natural transmission of urban rabies. According to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO), the immunization of at least 70% of the total dog population minimizes the risk of endemic rabies. Knowledge of the virus-neutralizing antibody (VNA) level against the rabies virus (RABV) is required to evaluate protective immunity and vaccine coverage of dogs in the field. The rapid focus fluorescent inhibition test (RFFIT) and the fluorescent antibody virus neutralization (FAVN) test are recommended by OIE and WHO to determine the VNA levels in serum. However, these tests are cell culture based and require the use of live viruses and specialized equipment. The rapid neutralizing antibody test (RAPINA) is a novel, immunochromatographic test that uses inactivated virus to estimate the VNA level qualitatively. It is a simple, rapid and inexpensive, although indirect, assay for the detection of VNA levels. The RAPINA has shown good positive and negative predictive values and a high concordance with the RFFIT results. In this study, we compared the performance of the two tests for evaluating the vaccination status of dogs in the Philippines, Thailand and Japan. A total of 1135 dog sera were analysed by the RAPINA and compared to the VNA levels determined by the RFFIT. The overall positive and negative predictive values of the RAPINA were 96.2-99.3% and 84.5-94.8%, respectively, with a concordance (kappa) of 0.946-0.97 among the three countries. The RAPINA results were highly homologous and reproducible among different laboratories. These results suggest that this test is appropriate to survey vaccination coverage in countries with limited resources.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the in vivo effects of multiple local anesthetic injections of 0.5% bupivacaine on normal and osteoarthritic articular cartilage. METHODS Rats with normal knee joints received an intra-articular injection of 0.9% saline solution or 0.5% bupivacaine in their right knees joint once a week for 5 consecutive weeks, starting 4 weeks after the beginning of the experiment. Rats were humanely killed at 8, 16, and 24 weeks. In a parallel experiment, rats underwent anterior cruciate ligament transection to induce osteoarthritic changes. These rats were subjected to the same protocol as those with normal knee joints, starting 4 weeks after the procedure. Static weight-bearing tests were performed on both hind limbs to evaluate changes in weight-bearing ability throughout the experiments. Rats were humanely killed at 8 and 16 weeks. Cell viability was assessed with confocal microscopy, using samples from the distal femur. Histologic assessment of osteoarthritis was performed using samples from the tibial plateau based on the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) cartilage histopathology assessment system (i.e., OARSI score). RESULTS Static weight-bearing tests showed no significant changes after intra-articular injection of saline solution or bupivacaine, and bupivacaine injection did not increase weight bearing compared with saline solution injection, regardless of whether there were osteoarthritic changes. There were also no significant differences in cell viability, cell density, or OARSI scores between the saline solution and bupivacaine groups at each time point, regardless of whether osteoarthritic changes were induced. CONCLUSIONS This study suggested that single or intermittent intra-articular bupivacaine injections might not have deleterious effects on either osteoarthritic or normal joints. CLINICAL RELEVANCE There is no strong evidence that intra-articular bupivacaine injection induces degenerative changes in articular cartilage. Therefore, these results may apply to normal and osteoarthritic joints.

Abstract
The relation between CA1 neurons, fimbria-fornix and cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain was examined with the aid of Acetylcholine esterase (AChE) staining, Woelcke's staining and immunohistochemistry of Choline-acetyl transferase (ChAT). The transected side of the hippocampus was poorly stained by AChE two weeks after the transection, when the ipsilateral medial septum ChAT-positive neurons were reduced, but showed good recovery with AChE six weeks later. Nerve growth factor (NGF) was added at a dose of 10 micrograms/100 microliters immediately after the aspiration, and after that once per week with cisternal puncture. As a result, ipsilateral medial septum ChAT-positive neurons were preserved, but cross innervation with relation to hypertrophy of the cholinergic neurons was not detectable even six weeks after the transection. Furthermore, delayed CA1 neuronal death on the transected side of the hippocampus following occlusion of four vessels for 30 minutes was not detectable two weeks after the operation, although neuronal density was reduced after six weeks. The density of neurons on the transected side of the hippocampus in the CA1 subfield with treated NGF had not decreased significantly six weeks later. Therefore, we suspect that the input from cholinergic fibres must be transported to the hippocampal pyramidal neurons responding to NGF, and it was confirmed that cholinergic deafferentation prevents the delayed neuronal death of CA1 pyramidal neurons during transient ischaemia.

Abstract
In the rat model of middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion, axons originating from the ipsilateral cortical and thalamic neurons are injured by ischaemia. The cortical neurons survive thereafter without retrograde degeneration, but thalamic neurons slowly die because of retrograde degeneration. The fate of these two neurons is remarkably different and may be related to neurotrophic activity induced by ischaemia. We detected ischaemia-related neurotrophic activity, and partially purified the factor. Tissue samples were obtained from the cortex adjacent to the infarction and contralateral corresponding site at 4, 8 and 12 days after occlusion of the MCA. They were homogenated with a culture medium and ultracentrifuged. The supernatant was obtained and used for neurotrophic assay. Foetal cortical neurons were obtained from 17 days rat embryo and cultured. Neurotrophic activity was assayed by applying tissue extract to the culture medium. Application of periischaemic cortical extract obtained at 8 and 12 days after ischaemia improved neuronal survival by 50% and 200% as compared to contralateral cortical extract, respectively. The activity was not detectable at 4 days after ischaemia. The neurotrophic activity disappeared by heating the extract at 90 degrees C for 10 min. We fractionated the extract by saturated ammonium sulphate precipitation, followed by gel-filtered with Superose 12 column. The neurotrophic activity was detected in the precipitation of 30 to 60% saturation fraction of ammonium sulphate. With gel-filtration we separated neurotrophic activity in several fractions, which included marker proteins of 8, 22 and 30 kilodaltons. The activities were only detected in the lesioned side but not in the contralateral side.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Primary malignant melanoma of the esophagus (PMME) is a highly malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. Because PMME is an extremely rare disease, therapeutic strategies against the tumor have yet to be established, and the efficacy of esophagectomy remains unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the post-esophagectomy survival of PMME patients. Ten patients who underwent esophagectomy for PMME between March 2005 and April 2013 at the Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Cancer Institute Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, were identified from the institutional database. We retrospectively retrieved clinical information and data on the long-term outcomes from the patients' records. Survival rates after esophagectomy were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the hazard ratios of mortality were determined using the Cox's model. A follow-up study of the 10 patients revealed 7 cancer recurrences and 5 deaths. Median survival time was 34.5 months, and 5 of 10 patients survived longer than 2 years. The 1-year disease-free survival rate was 40%, and the 1- and 3-year overall survival rates were 70% and 60%, respectively. Importantly, all three of the non-relapsing patients were histologically confirmed as free of lymph node involvement. The four patients with lymph node metastasis relapsed within 1 year. The disease-free survival was significantly shorter in patients with lymph node involvement than in those without lymph node involvement (univariate hazard ratio = 13.3, 95% confidence interval 1.85-266.4; P = 0.009). In conclusion, esophagectomy might benefit PMME patients with no lymph node metastasis. Further large-scale cohort studies are needed to establish the treatment strategy for PMME.

Abstract
AIM Visceral adipose tissue-derived serine protease inhibitor (vaspin) is an adipocytokine with insulin-sensitizing activity originally identified in visceral adipose tissues of obesity-related type II diabetic rats. We previously showed that vaspin inhibits vascular cell migration and apoptosis as well as inflammatory responses, which are crucial for the development of hypertension. However, little is known about the effects of vaspin on vascular reactivity. The aim of this study was thus to explore the effects of vaspin on contraction and relaxation of isolated blood vessel. METHODS After mesenteric arteries were isolated from male Wistar rats, the effects of pretreatment with vaspin (3 ng mL(-1) , 30 min) on concentration-contraction and concentration-relaxation relationships for each agent were examined. The effects of vaspin on acetylcholine (ACh)-induced phosphorylation of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase (eNOS) and ACh esterase (AChE) activity were also examined using Western blotting and colorimetric method respectively. RESULTS Vaspin did not affect noradrenaline- or 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced contraction. In contrast, vaspin augmented ACh- but not histamine-, A23187- or carbachol-induced NO-mediated relaxation. Vaspin significantly increased ACh-induced eNOS phosphorylation and inhibited AChE activity. CONCLUSION We for the first time demonstrate that vaspin augments the ACh-induced NO-mediated endothelium-dependent relaxation via the inhibition of AChE activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Quantitative susceptibility mapping is useful for assessing iron deposition in the substantia nigra of patients with Parkinson disease. We aimed to determine whether quantitative susceptibility mapping is useful for assessing the lateral asymmetry and spatial difference in iron deposits in the substantia nigra of patients with Parkinson disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study population comprised 24 patients with Parkinson disease and 24 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. They underwent 3T MR imaging by using a 3D multiecho gradient-echo sequence. On reconstructed quantitative susceptibility mapping, we measured the susceptibility values in the anterior, middle, and posterior parts of the substantia nigra, the whole substantia nigra, and other deep gray matter structures in both hemibrains. To identify the more and less affected hemibrains in patients with Parkinson disease, we assessed the severity of movement symptoms for each hemibrain by using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. RESULTS In the posterior substantia nigra of patients with Parkinson disease, the mean susceptibility value was significantly higher in the more than the less affected hemibrain substantia nigra (P < .05). This value was significantly higher in both the more and less affected hemibrains of patients with Parkinson disease than in controls (P < .05). Asymmetry of the mean susceptibility values was significantly greater for patients than controls (P < .05). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that quantitative susceptibility mapping of the posterior substantia nigra in the more affected hemibrain provided the highest power for discriminating patients with Parkinson disease from the controls. CONCLUSIONS Quantitative susceptibility mapping is useful for assessing the lateral asymmetry and spatial difference of iron deposition in the substantia nigra of patients with Parkinson disease.
