Abstract
Photoelectron spectroscopy has been performed to study the multiphoton double ionization of Ar in an intense extreme ultraviolet laser field (hν ∼ 21 eV, ∼ 5 TW/cm²), by using a free electron laser (FEL). Three distinct peaks identified in the observed photoelectron spectra clearly show that the double ionization proceeds sequentially via the formation of Ar(+): Ar+hν→Ar (+) + e⁻ and Ar²(+) + 2hν→Ar(+) + e⁻. Shot-by-shot recording of the photoelectron spectra allows simultaneous monitoring of FEL spectrum and the multiphoton process for each FEL pulse, revealing that the two-photon ionization from Ar(+) is significantly enhanced by intermediate resonances in Ar(+).

Abstract
This study presents the radiographic findings of two cases of static bone cavity in the inferior aspect of the condylar neck and mandibular notch of the mandible. On plain CT, a soft tissue mass was observed in each cavity. The submandibular gland and the other glands were not found in each cavity. On contrast-enhanced CT, the soft tissue in the cavity in the inferior aspect of the condylar neck had marked linear enhancement and dilated vasculature structure was observed in the cavity. On the contrast-enhanced MRI, the soft tissue in the cavity of the mandibular notch had marked enhancement and flow void was detected in the cavity. In the inferior aspect of the condylar neck, the cavity size had enlarged radiographically over a period of three years. Vascular lesions were found in the cavity located in the inferior aspect of the condylar neck and mandibular notch of the mandible by both CT and MRI. The vascular lesion might explain the enlargement of the static bone cavity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some severe asthma patients are characterized by elevated levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and neutrophilic inflammation in the airways. Although such phenotypic changes in asthma might contribute to corticosteroid refractoriness, the role of TNF-alpha in the process remains unclear. TNF-alpha exerts its biological effects mainly by acting on the vascular endothelium, and thereby upregulates leukocyte recruitment into inflamed tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dexamethasone (DEX) on the TNF-alpha-mediated responses of human microvascular endothelial cells from lung blood vessels (HMVEC-LBl) in vitro. METHODS HMVEC-LBl were cultured with TNF-alpha in the presence and absence of DEX. The effects of DEX on various TNF-alpha-mediated responses, such as the expressions of chemokines and cellular adhesion molecules, leukocyte adhesion were determined. RESULTS TNF-alpha significantly induced growth-related oncogene alpha (GRO-alpha), interleukin 8 (IL-8), regulated on activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) and interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) productions and cell surface expressions of intracellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) on HMVEC-LBl. TNF-alpha-induced GRO-alpha and IL-8 were slightly attenuated by DEX treatment (reaches to 89% and 79%, respectively), whereas expressions of IP-10, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were significantly enhanced by the same treatment (up to 172%, 152% and 139%, respectively). Correspondingly, in vitro adhesion of eosinophils and neutrophils to TNF-alpha-treated HMVEC-LBl were significantly enhanced by DEX. CONCLUSIONS Some proinflammatory effects of DEX, a corticosteroid, were found in TNF-alpha-mediated in vitro reactions of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, i.e. chemokine productions and leukocyte adhesion. These in vitro results may explain, at least in part, the corticosteroid refractoriness accompanied by a marked increase in TNF-alpha production that is seen in severe asthmatic patients.

Abstract
In order to identify a novel candidate gene in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we analysed a panel of six genes encoding molecules involved in the type I interferon (IFN) system. We first identified variants in the five genes related to type I IFN pathway by sequencing. Genotyping of a panel of eight selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in six candidate genes ( TLR9, MYD88, IRF3, IRF7, IFNB1, IFNA17) was performed in 137 patients with SLE and matched with 152 healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. In functional assay, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to assess constitutive IRF3 mRNA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy subjects with different IRF3 promoter haplotypes. Among eight SNPs genotyped, an IRF3 SNP at –925 was found to be associated with SLE after correction for multiple tests (corrected P = 0.016). Of total five IRF3 SNPs genotyped, the promoter IRF3 SNPs –925A/G and –776C/T showed the most significant association with SLE. With regard to –925A/G, the frequency of GG genotype was significantly decreased among SLE patients compared with the control group (1.5% vs. 9.9%; χ2 = 10.0, P = 0.0015, odds ratio 0.12, 95% confidence interval 0.027–0.554). Our experimental data indicated that constitutive IRF3 mRNA expression was significantly lower in cells carrying the minor G-T/G-T haplotype pair compared with those carrying the major A-C haplotype. In conclusion, we showed that the promoter SNPs of the IRF3 gene were significantly associated with resistance against SLE.

Abstract
The roles of free fatty acids (FFA), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and adiponectin in the development of the insulin-resistant metabolic disorder in several subjects have been studied. A total of 70 Japanese male subjects were selected according to the following three sets of criteria: subjects in group A had, (1) a fasting plasma glucose (FPG)>or=110 to <140 mg/dl, (2) a triglyceride (TG) level>or=150 mg/dl, (3) a systolic blood pressure (SBP)>or=140 and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP)>or=90 mmHg, and (4) a body mass index (BMI)>or=25 kg/m2 (age=53.4+/-8.5 years, BMI=27.0+/-1.3 kg/m2, n=16). Subjects in group B had, (1) FPG<110 mg/dl, (2) TG<150 mg/dl, (3) SBP<140 and DBP<90 mmHg, and (4) BMI>or=25 kg/m2 (age=47.2+/-10.3 years, BMI=26.6+/-1.31 kg/m2, n=38). Subjects in group C had, (1) FPG<110 mg/dl, (2) TG<150 mg/dl, (3) SBP<140 and DBP<90 mmHg, and (4) 20>or=BMI<22 kg/m2 (age=50.4+/-9.3 years, BMI=20.9+/-0.6 kg/m2, n=16). The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance in group A (2.7+/-1.4) was significantly higher (p<0.0001) than in groups B (1.6+/-0.7) and C (0.9+/-0.5). FFA in group A (1.17+/-0.57 mEq/l) was significantly higher than in groups B (0.62+/-0.23 mEq/l) and C (0.48+/-0.16 mEq/l) (p<0.0001). Serum TNF-alpha in group A (1.36+/-0.62 pg/ml) was significantly higher than in groups B (0.95+/-0.35 pg/ml; p=0.003) and C (0.76+/-0.09 pg/ml; p=0.0013). No significant differences in the serum level of adiponectin were observed between groups A and B or between groups B and C. The results suggest that FFA and possibly TNF-alpha levels are closely related to the development of insulin resistance in subjects with metabolic disorders.
