Abstract
A moisturising micro-gel spray for prevention of dryness was compared with commercial products and artificial saliva in vitro and in a clinical setting in patients with cancer. Survival of cultured human gingival epithelial cells was evaluated after treatment with each product for 15 min. A dry test was performed for products giving a 50% survival rate, in which cell survival was measured after drying of cells treated with each product. The survival rates of cells treated with the micro-gel spray and artificial saliva were significantly higher than those of control cells. The micro-gel spray was then evaluated for 1 week in patients with symptoms of dry mouth caused by cancer treatment. There was significant improvement of these symptoms at night and on awakening and of subjective symptoms of decreased salivary volume (P < 0.05). Mean visual analogue scale scores also significantly decreased (P < 0.01). These data suggest that evaluation of moisturising products for dryness prevention can be performed in cultured cells, since products that performed well in vitro also showed good efficacy for symptoms of dry mouth. The micro-gel spray was particularly effective for relieving symptoms of dry mouth in patients with cancer.

Abstract
Circular dichroism in the angular distribution of photoelectrons from SrTiO(3):Nb and Cu(x)Bi(2)Se(3) is investigated by 7-eV laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. In addition to the well-known node that occurs in the circular dichroism pattern when the incidence plane matches the mirror plane of the crystal, we show that another type of node occurs when the mirror plane of the crystal is vertical to the incidence plane and the electronic state is two-dimensional. The flower-shaped circular dichroism patterns in the angular distribution occurring around the Fermi level of SrTiO(3):Nb and around the Dirac point of Cu(x)Bi(2)Se(3) are explained on equal footings. We point out that the penetration depth of the topological states of Cu(x)Bi(2)Se(3) depends on momentum.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total laparoscopic hysterectomy has been reported as having a higher incidence of vaginal cuff dehiscence compared with the abdominal and/or vaginal hysterectomy. The cause of vaginal cuff dehiscence after total laparoscopic hysterectomy is not specified, but possible causes may be the use of thermal energy for vaginal incision, reduced suturing width due to magnification, low quality of laparoscopic suturing skills and early resumption of regular activities after surgery. METHODS We performed 677 cases of total laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign diseases, such as fibroids or adenomyosis, from January 2007 to December 2008 in our institute. We experienced four cases (0.6%) of vaginal cuff dehiscence. We checked the operative parameters for these cases, such as whether the retroperitoneum was sutured or not and intrapelvic adhesion, as well as examined operative duration, blood loss, weight of removed organs, and body mass index. RESULTS Sexual intercourse was the triggering event for three cases (96 days, 103 days and 47 days after total laparoscopic hysterectomy) and the other case occurred during defecation (18 days and no sexual intercourse after total laparoscopic hysterectomy). There were no significant differences in vaginal cuff dehiscence with or without retroperitoneum suture and intrapelvic adhesion. CONCLUSION After these four cases of vaginal cuff dehiscence, we recognized the need to review these cases carefully in order to discover the cause and how to prevent this from occurring in other patients. We do not have the answers to prevent this complication at present, but reducing the power-source and attempting different suturing techniques may be important steps.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To validate the association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the connective tissue growth factor gene (CTGF) with susceptibility to systemic sclerosis (SSc) in the Japanese population. METHODS 395 Japanese patients with SSc, 115 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 269 healthy Japanese volunteers were enrolled in the study. An SNP (rs6918698) at -945 bp from the start codon in the promoter region of the CTGF gene was determined by allelic discrimination with the use of a specific TaqMan probe. RESULTS The G allele showed a significantly higher frequency in patients with SSc than in controls (p<0.001; odds ratio 1.5; 95% confidence interval 1.2 to 1.9). In particular, the clinical subsets of SSc showed a more significant association between the G allele and diffuse cutaneous SSc (p<0.001) and the presence of interstitial lung disease (p<0.001), the presence of anti-topoisomerase I antibody (p<0.001) and anti-U1RNP antibody (p = 0.010). Association analyses using the genotype of the SNP yielded results similar to those of analyses using the allele. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms the association between an SNP in the CTGF gene and susceptibility to SSc, especially in the presence of diffuse cutaneous SSc, interstitial lung disease and anti-topoisomerase I antibody. The results strongly suggest that this SNP may be a powerful indicator of severe skin and lung involvement in patients with SSc.

Abstract
The upper and lower limits of the excitation function of the (63)Cu(n,p)(63)Ni reaction were experimentally determined, and the number of (63)Ni nuclei produced in copper samples exposed to atomic bomb neutrons in Hiroshima was estimated by using the experimental excitation functions and the neutron fluences given in the DS02 dosimetry system. The estimated number of (63)Ni nuclei was compared with that measured and with that calculated using the DS02 dosimetry system and the corresponding ENDF/B-VI cross section. In comparison with DS02, there is about a 60% maximum difference in (63)Ni production at the hypocenter when the experimental upper cross section values are used. The difference becomes smaller at greater distances from the hypocenter and decreases, for example, to less than 30 and 5% when using the upper and lower experimental cross sections at 1,000 m, respectively.

Abstract
A case of large ameloblastoma of the mandible with severe hypoproteinemia is reported. The patient, a 53-year-old man, had a large swelling (14 x 11 x 10 cm) from the right cheek to the submandible causing severe hypoproteinemia. The tumor was removed when the serum protein level had recovered to 5.3g/dl following administration of 50 ml of 20% albumin for 4 days. After the operation, his hypoproteinemia, which was thought to be caused by leakage of plasma through the oral fistula of the ameloblastoma, rapidly improved. This article describes preoperative and postoperative findings and the clinical course of the patient.

Abstract
Nasolabial cysts are rare non-odontogenic cysts that occur beneath the ala nasi, and debate about their complicated, unique pathogenesis continues. It is widely accepted that these lesions originate from the anlage of the nasolacrimal duct; however, some still think that nasolabial cysts arise from fissural cysts. The authors report a patient with a nasolabial cyst who also had a unilateral cleft lip and palate. This unusual finding may indicate a different origin for nasolabial cysts than what has been accepted in the past.

Abstract
The excitation function for the (63)Cu(n,p)(63)Ni reaction has been measured by activation method using the 4.5 MV Dynamitron accelerator of the Fast Neutron Laboratory of Tohoku University. Copper plates and hollow spherical copper shells were irradiated by neutrons of various energy up to 14.9 MeV produced by the T(p,n), D(d,n), and T(d,n) reactions. The (63)Ni produced in the irradiated copper target was chemically separated. The beta-rays emitted from the extracted (63)Ni were measured by a liquid scintillation method. The cross sections obtained were compared with the evaluated data files of JENDL-3.3, ENDF/B-VI and FENDL/A-2.0. Consequently, it is found that FENDL/A-2.0 is consistent with our experimental data in the energy range studied in this work. The effect of proton shell appeared in the excitation function obtained is also discussed.
