Abstract
BACKGROUND FOLFIRI and FOLFOX have shown equivalent efficacy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), but their comparative effectiveness is unknown when combined with bevacizumab. PATIENTS AND METHODS WJOG4407G was a randomized, open-label, phase III trial conducted in Japan. Patients with previously untreated mCRC were randomized 1:1 to receive either FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab (FOLFIRI + Bev) or mFOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab (mFOLFOX6 + Bev), stratified by institution, adjuvant chemotherapy, and liver-limited disease. The primary end point was non-inferiority of FOLFIRI + Bev to mFOLFOX6 + Bev in progression-free survival (PFS), with an expected hazard ratio (HR) of 0.9 and non-inferiority margin of 1.25 (power 0.85, one-sided α-error 0.025). The secondary end points were response rate (RR), overall survival (OS), safety, and quality of life (QoL) during 18 months. This trial is registered to the University Hospital Medical Information Network, number UMIN000001396. RESULTS Among 402 patients enrolled from September 2008 to January 2012, 395 patients were eligible for efficacy analysis. The median PFS for FOLFIRI + Bev (n = 197) and mFOLFOX6 + Bev (n = 198) were 12.1 and 10.7 months, respectively [HR, 0.905; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.723-1.133; P = 0.003 for non-inferiority]. The median OS for FOLFIRI + Bev and mFOLFOX6 + Bev were 31.4 and 30.1 months, respectively (HR, 0.990; 95% CI 0.785-1.249). The best overall RRs were 64% for FOLFIRI + Bev and 62% for mFOLFOX6 + Bev. The common grade 3 or higher adverse events were leukopenia (11% in FOLFIRI + Bev/5% in mFOLFOX6 + Bev), neutropenia (46%/35%), diarrhea (9%/5%), febrile neutropenia (5%/2%), peripheral neuropathy (0%/22%), and venous thromboembolism (6%/2%). The QoL assessed by FACT-C (TOI-PFC) and FACT/GOG-Ntx was favorable for FOLFIRI + Bev during 18 months. CONCLUSION FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab was non-inferior for PFS, compared with mFOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab, as the first-line systemic treatment for mCRC. CLINICAL TRIALS NUMBER UMIN000001396.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Diffuse optical spectroscopic imaging (DOSI) can be exploited as a marker of tumor blood volume quantified by tissue hemoglobin (tHb) concentration. In DOSI, frequent measurement is possible for breast cancer patients because of its non-invasiveness. The tHb concentration determined by DOSI is expected to be a new biomarker for prediction of breast cancer response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).
Purpose: Our objective is to determine whether early change of tumor tHb concentration predicts pathological complete response (pCR) to NAC in patients with operable breast cancer.
Methods: In a prospective study, one hundred patients with primary breast cancer were enrolled for primary objective analysis. The regimens of NAC were according to the standard of care. Patients underwent sequential scans using DOSI at baseline, after 1st course and 2nd course of chemotherapy. The mean value of tHb (tHbmean) concentration of the targeted lesion was measured and the percentage change in tHbmean (ΔtHbmean) concentration was calculated. Receiver operating curve analysis demonstrated diagnostic performance of DOSI for predicting a pCR.
Results: In interim analysis, it was regarded as a good outcome that area under the curve (AUC) for ΔtHbmean after 1nd course was 0.797 (SE 0.104, 95%CI 0.633-0.911), and after 2st course was 0.867 (SE 0.06, 95%CI 0.715-0.956).
Conclusion: DOSI could predict accurately a pCR to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with primary breast cancer.

Abstract
We study the electronic structure of bulk single crystals and epitaxial films of Fe_{3}O_{4}. Fe 2p core level spectra show clear differences between hard x-ray (HAX) and soft x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (PES). The bulk-sensitive spectra exhibit temperature (T) dependence across the Verwey transition, which is missing in the surface-sensitive spectra. By using an extended impurity Anderson full-multiplet model-and in contrast to an earlier peak assignment-we show that the two distinct Fe species (A and B site) and the charge modulation at the B site are responsible for the newly found double peaks in the main peak above T_{V} and its T-dependent evolution. The Fe 2p HAXPES spectra show a clear magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) in the metallic phase of magnetized 100-nm-thick films. The model calculations also reproduce the MCD and identify the contributions from magnetically distinct A and B sites. Valence band HAXPES shows a finite density of states at E_{F} for the polaronic half metal with a remnant order above T_{V} and a clear gap formation below T_{V}. The results indicate that the Verwey transition is driven by changes in the strongly correlated and magnetically active B-site electronic states, consistent with resistivity and optical spectra.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) decrease adiponectin expression and suppress insulin signaling in cultured adipocytes through the interaction with a receptor for AGEs (RAGE) via oxidative stress generation. We have recently found that high-affinity DNA aptamer directed against AGE (AGE-aptamer) prevents the progression of experimental diabetic nephropathy by blocking the harmful actions of AGEs in the kidney. This study examined the effects of AGE-aptamer on adipocyte remodeling, AGE-RAGE-oxidative stress axis, and adiponectin expression in fructose-fed rats. Although AGE-aptamer treatment by an osmotic mini pump for 8 weeks did not affect serum insulin levels, it significantly decreased average fasting blood glucose and had a tendency to inhibit body weight gain in fructose-fed rats. Furthermore, AGE-aptamer significantly suppressed the increase in adipocyte size and prevented the elevation in AGEs, RAGE, and an oxidative stress marker, 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), levels in adipose tissues of fructose-fed rats at 14-week-old, while it restored the decrease in adiponectin mRNA levels. Our present study suggests that AGE-aptamer could improve glycemic control and prevent adipocyte remodeling in fructose-fed rats partly by suppressing the AGE-RAGE-mediated oxidative stress generation. AGE-aptamer might be a novel therapeutic strategy for fructose-induced metabolic derangements.

Abstract
Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) and their receptor (RAGE) play a role in vascular complications in diabetes. We have previously shown that 17β-estradiol at 10 nmol/l, a nearly identical plasma concentration to that during mid-pregnancy, up-regulates RAGE expression in endothelial cells. The finding might suggest the involvement of 17β-estradiol in the deterioration of vascular complications in diabetes during pregnancy. However, the effects of the selective estrogen receptor modulator, bazedoxifene, on oxidative and inflammatory reactions in AGEs-exposed endothelial cells remain unknown. In this study, we addressed the issue. Ten nmol/l 17β-estradiol increased RAGE and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) gene and protein expression in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), both of which were blocked by 10 nmol/l bazedoxifene. Bazedoxifene at 10 nmol/l also significantly inhibited the AGEs-induced superoxide generation, RAGE and MCP-1 gene and protein expression in HUVECs. The present study suggests that blockade of the AGEs-RAGE axis by bazedoxifene might be a novel therapeutic target for preventing vascular damage in diabetes, especially in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Accurate discrimination of orbital lymphoma from benign orbital lymphoproliferative disorders is crucial for treatment planning. We evaluated MR imaging including DWI and contrast-enhanced MR imaging for differentiating orbital lymphoma from benign orbital lymphoproliferative disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-seven histopathologically proved orbital lymphoproliferative disorders (29 orbital lymphomas and 18 benign orbital lymphoproliferative disorders) were evaluated. Two board-certified radiologists reviewed visual features on T1-weighted, fat-suppressed T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted, and contrast-enhanced MR images. For quantitative evaluation, ADC and contrast-enhancement ratio of all lesions were measured and optimal cutoff thresholds and areas under curves for differentiating orbital lymphoma from benign orbital lymphoproliferative disorders were determined using receiver operative characteristic analysis; corresponding sensitivities and specificities were calculated. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that ill-defined tumor margin (P = .003) had a significant association with orbital lymphoma whereas the "flow void sign" (P = .005) and radiologic evidence of sinusitis (P = .0002) were associated with benign orbital lymphoproliferative disorders. The mean ADC and contrast-enhancement ratio of orbital lymphomas were significantly lower than those of benign orbital lymphoproliferative disorders (P < .01). An ADC of less than 0.612 × 10(-3) mm(2)/s and a contrast-enhancement ratio of less than 1.88 yielded areas under curves of 0.980 and 0.770, sensitivity of 94.1% and 95.5%, and specificities of 93.3% and 80.0% for predicting orbital lymphoma, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Some characteristic MR imaging features and quantitative DWI and contrast-enhanced MR imaging are useful in further improving the accuracy of MR imaging for differentiation of orbital lymphoma from benign orbital lymphoproliferative disorders.

Abstract
The structure of a 1.6-kb SphI-HindIII DNA sequence necessary and sufficient for the replication of a 8.6-kb plasmid pLS11 of Bacillus subtilis IFO 3022, which is responsible for gamma-polyglutamate production, has been characterized by using a trimethoprim (Tmp)-resistance gene derived form B. subtilis TTK24 chromosomal DNA as a selective marker. The 1.6-kb DNA sequence contains a rep gene encoding the protein (333 amino acids) essential for initiation of replication and a possible origin of replication. The predicted REP protein of pLS11 has an overall homology with the REP proteins of pUH1 (74.8% identity), pBAA1 (92.8%), and pFTB14 (78.7%) in Bacillus spp., pLP1 (42.1%) and pLAB1000 (36.3%) in Lactobacillus spp., and pUB110 (35.3%) and pC194 (37.4%) in Staphylococcus aureus, but has not any similarity with the REP protein of the staphylococcal plasmid pT181.

Abstract
Various mutations have occurred during evolution among orthologs, genes in different species that diverged from a common ancestral gene by speciation. Here, we report the remarkable deterioration of a characteristic mammalian maternal behavior, pup retrieval, in nonmammalized mice, in which the transcription factor Pou3f2 was replaced with the Xenopus ortholog lacking all of the homopolymeric amino acid repeats of mammalian POU3F2. Most of the pups born to the nonmammalized mice died within days after birth, depending on the dam genotype alone. Quantitative immunohistochemical analysis revealed decreases in the rate-limiting enzymes of dopamine and serotonin synthesis in various brain structures. Similar results were obtained in knock-in mice in which all of the homopolymeric amino acid repeats of mammalian POU3F2 were removed. Pup retrieval behavior in mammals is thus strongly related to monoamine neurotransmitter levels via the acquisition of homopolymeric amino acid repeats during mammalian evolution.

Abstract
We report high-resolution hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy results on (Ga,Mn)As films as a function of Mn doping. Supported by theoretical calculations we identify, for both low (1%) and high (13%) Mn doping values, the electronic character of the states near the top of the valence band. Magnetization and temperature-dependent core-level photoemission spectra reveal how the delocalized character of the Mn states enables the bulk ferromagnetic properties of (Ga,Mn)As.
