Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of the progression of periodontitis presently depends on the use of clinical symptoms (such as attachment loss) and radiographic imaging. The aim of the multicenter study described here was to evaluate the diagnostic use of the bacterial content of subgingival plaque recovered from the deepest pockets in assessing disease progression in chronic periodontitis patients. METHODS This study consisted of a 24-month investigation of a total of 163 patients with chronic periodontitis who received trimonthly follow-up care. Subgingival plaque from the deepest pockets was recovered and assessed for bacterial content of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans using the modified Invader PLUS assay. The corresponding serum IgG titers were measured using ELISA. Changes in clinical parameters were evaluated over the course of 24 months. The sensitivity, specificity, and prediction values were calculated and used to determine cutoff points for prediction of the progression of chronic periodontitis. RESULTS Of the 124 individuals who completed the 24-month monitoring phase, 62 exhibited progression of periodontitis, whereas 62 demonstrated stable disease. The P. gingivalis counts of subgingival plaque from the deepest pockets was significantly associated with the progression of periodontitis (p < 0.001, positive predictive value = 0.708). CONCLUSIONS The P. gingivalis counts of subgingival plaque from the deepest pockets may be associated with the progression of periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the economic benefits of cognitive remediation and supported employment (CR + SE). The present study aimed to investigate the cost-effectiveness of CR + SE compared with traditional vocational services (TVS). METHOD Individuals with mental illness and low cognitive function were recruited at six sites in Japan. A total of 111 participants were randomly allocated to the CR + SE group or the TVS group. Clinical and vocational outcomes were assessed at baseline and 12-month follow-up. Service utilization data were collected monthly. The data on outcomes and costs were combined to examine cost-effectiveness. RESULTS The data were obtained from a total of 92 participants. The CR + SE group resulted in better vocational and clinical outcomes (employment rate, 62.2%; work tenures, 78.6 days; cognitive improvement, 0.5) than the TVS group (19.1%, 24.9 days and 0.2). There was no significant difference in mean total costs between the groups (CR + SE group: $9823, s.d. = $6372, TVS group: $11 063, s.d. = $11 263) with and without adjustment for covariates. However, mean cost for medical services in the CR + SE group was significantly lower than that in the TVS group after adjusting covariates (Β = -$3979, 95% confidence interval -$7816 to -$143, p = 0.042). Cost-effectiveness acceptability curves for vocational outcomes illustrated the high probabilities (approximately 70%) of the CR + SE group being more cost-effective than TVS when society is not willing to pay additional costs. CONCLUSIONS CR + SE appears to be a cost-effective option for people with mental illness who have low cognitive functioning when compared with TVS.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the main causes of cell damage in bovine embryos in vitro. Folic acid (FA) is an antioxidant that protects cells from ROS. We studied the effect of the addition of FA to maturation and culture media on development of bovine blastocysts and their survival rate after freeze-thawing. Cell-oocyte complexes (COC) were allowed to mature in HEPES (25 mM)-buffered TCM199 (TCM199) supplemented with 5% calf serum (CS), 0.02 AU mL−1 of FSH, and FA (0, 2.5, 25, and 50 µM) for 20 hours (20–25 COC/100-µL droplet of the medium). After 6 hours of gamete co-culture (5 × 106 sperm/mL), presumptive zygotes were cultured in CR1aa medium supplemented with 5% CS and FA (0, 2.5, 25, and 50 μM) for 9 days (day of fertilization = Day 0). Expanded blastocysts that developed from Day 7 to 9 were frozen for further study. Each embryo was frozen in Dulbecco’s PBS (D-PBS) supplemented with 20% CS, 1.5 M ethylene glycol (EG), and 0.1 M sucrose (SUC). Embryos were equilibrated with their freezing medium for 15 min and loaded individually into a 0.25-mL straw. These straws were put into the cooling chamber of a programmable freezer precooled at −7°C. After 2 min, straws were seeded and held for 13 min at −7°C. Next, straws were cooled to −30°C at −0.3°C/min before being plunged into liquid nitrogen. Frozen embryos were thawed by allowing straws to stand in air for 7 s and warming them in a 30°C water bath for 20 s. Thawed embryos were washed twice with D-PBS supplemented with 20% fetal calf serum (FCS), which was warmed to 38°C. They were immersed into the same medium at 38°C for 10 min, and each embryo was cultured in a 20-μL droplet of TCM199 supplemented with 10% FCS and 0.1 mM β-mercaptoethanol (TCM-199-βME) for 72 h. Embryo cleavage rate was observed at 55 h post-insemination. Blastocyst rates were analysed at 9 days post-insemination. Rates of embryos developing into reexpanded, hatching, and hatched blastocyst stages were determined after 72 h of thawing. All data were analysed by the chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. Cleavage and blastocyst rates after insemination at 55 hours and 9 days, respectively, were not significantly different among media containing 0 μM (n = 278; 74.1% and 39.9%), 2.5 μM (n = 260; 74.2% and 45.8%), 25 μM (n = 258; 75.6% and 45.7%), and 50 μM (n = 253; 76.3% and 42.7%) FA. Survival and hatching rates of frozen and thawed expanded blastocysts after 72 h in culture were 62.5% and 56.3%, respectively, in 0 μM FA (n = 16); 85.2% and 74.1% in 2.5 μM FA (n = 27); 66.7% and 62.5% in 25 μM FA (n = 24); and 68.0% and 64.0% in 50 μM FA (n = 25). Blastocysts cultured in media containing 2.5 μM FA tended to have a higher survival rate than those cultured in media containing 0 μM FA, although this difference was not significant (P = 0.09). Inclusion of FA did not appear to influence development or post-thaw survival of bovine blastocysts produced in vitro.

Abstract
In vitro-produced (IVP) bovine embryos tend to have a lower survival rate after cryopreservation than in vivo embryos do. Therefore, the freezing medium (FM) and concentration of cryoprotectant are very important factors. This study was to investigate the effect of 1.2 M ethylene glycol (EG) with 0.1 M sucrose (SUC) on survival of IVP embryos after freezing. The COC were matured in 25 mM HEPES-buffered TCM199 (TCM199) supplemented with 5% calf serum (CS) and 0.02 AU mL−1 FSH. Oocytes (20 to 25) were cultured in 100-μL droplets of maturation medium for 20 h. After 6 h of gamete co-culture (5 × 106 sperm/mL), the presumptive zygotes were cultured in CR1aa medium supplemented with 5% CS for 9 days (fertilization = Day 0). Only the expanded blastocysts from Days 7 to 9 were used in this experiment and separated into 3 treatment groups. The first and second groups were frozen in Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline (D-PBS) supplemented with 20% CS, 0.1 M SUC, and 1.2 or 1.5 M EG (groups 1.2 or 1.5 M EG), respectively. The third group was D-PBS supplemented with 20% fetal calf serum (FCS), 0.25 M SUC, and 1.4 M glycerol (group GLY). In each group, embryos were equilibrated with their FM for 10 min and loaded into 0.25-mL straws individually. These straws were placed into the cooling chamber of a programmable freezer precooled to −7°C. After 2 min, the straws were seeded and then held for a further 13 min at −7°C. Then, the straws were cooled to −30°C at −0.3°C/min before being plunged into liquid nitrogen. The cryopreserved embryos were thawed by allowing the straws to stand in air for 7 s and then warming them in a 30°C water bath for 20 s. The thawed embryos were washed twice using 38°C D-PBS supplemented with 20% FCS. Subsequently, they were immersed in the same medium, held at 38°C for 10 min, and then each embryo was cultured in 20-μL droplets of TCM199 supplemented with 20% FCS and 0.1 mM β-mercaptoethanol for 72 h. The rates of embryos developing to the re-expanded and hatching blastocyst stages were determined 72 h after thawing. All data were analysed by the chi-squared test with Yates’ correction. The re-expanded and hatching rates of frozen-thawed embryos after 72 h in culture were not significantly different between 1.2 M EG (n = 39: 71.8% and 69.2%), 1.5 M EG (n = 38: 76.3% and 63.2%), and 1.4 M GLY (n = 37: 75.7% and 64.9%) groups (P > 0.05). Survival and hatching rates according to embryo quality were also not significantly different between 1.2 M EG (good n = 18: 88.9% and 88.9%; fair n = 21: 57.1% and 52.4%), 1.5 M EG (good n = 19: 89.5% and 84.2%; fair n = 19: 63.2% and 42.1%), and 1.4 M GLY (good n = 18: 77.8% and 66.7%; fair n = 19: 73.7% and 63.2%) (P > 0.05). In conclusion, cryoprotectant type and concentration did not affect embryo survival or development after cryopreservation in this study. Therefore, the ethylene glycol concentration used for the cryopreservation of IVP embryos can be reduced.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although microvascular proliferation is a key feature in the diagnosis of high-grade glioma, the characteristics of metastatic tumour vessels in smear preparations have not been documented. In this study, the vascular changes in metastatic brain tumours, using squash cytology to examine the vascular patterns in brain metastases, were reviewed. METHODS One hundred and forty-three squash smears of brain tissue, including 25 normal or reactive tissue, 23 malignant lymphomas, 8 grade I glioma (pilocytic astrocytoma), 23 grade II glioma (diffuse astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma), 42 grade IV glioma (glioblastoma), and 22 metastasis, were assessed. Two vascular patterns were assessed: thick and branching, and glomeruloid. The vessel density, nuclear layer and the number of vessel branches were compared. Furthermore, tumour vessels of brain metastases were analysed by histology and for immunohistochemical expression of CD34, α-smooth muscle actin (SMA) and high-molecular-weight caldesmon (h-CD). RESULTS Among 22 metastatic tumours, thick and branching vessels were found in 17 (77%) and glomeruloid vessels in 13 (59%). These incidences of microvascular proliferation patterns were similar to those of glioblastomas or pilocytic astrocytomas. Vessel density, nuclear layer and vessel wall branches were significantly higher in metastatic tumours than malignant lymphomas, grade II gliomas or normal brain tissues. Glomeruloid vessels consisted of CD34-positive cells and α-SMA-positive cells, and α-SMA-positive cells had a low h-CD expression. These immunohistochemical patterns were similar to those of high-grade gliomas. CONCLUSIONS The vascular features of metastatic brain tumours are similar to those of glioblastomas, suggesting that these microvascular proliferations contribute to the progression of metastatic tumours.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (•NO) modulates the activity of the endocrine system in the behavioral response to stress. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of restraining the body of an animal on expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus, and the inhibitory effect of para-masticatory activity on restraint-induced nNOS expression. We observed an increase in nNOS mRNA expression and nNOS-positive neurons in the rat hypothalamus after 30 or 60 min of restraint. Biting on a wooden stick during bodily restraint decreased nNOS mRNA expression in the hypothalamus. In addition, the number of nNOS-positive neurons was significantly reduced in the PVN of the hypothalamus. These observations clearly suggest a possible anti-stress effect of the masticatory activity of biting, and this mechanism might be unconsciously in operation during exposure to psychological stressors.

Abstract
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promotes survival and differentiation of neural cells in the central and peripheral nervous systems. BDNF has been detected in plasma, but its source has not yet been established. Expression of BDNF mRNA has been identified in the submandibular glands when male rats are exposed to acute immobilization stress. In the present study, we investigated whether plasma BDNF is influenced by the submandibular glands in this model. Acute immobilization stress for 60 min significantly increased the level of plasma BDNF. However, plasma BDNF elevation was markedly suppressed in bilaterally sialoadenectomized rats. There were no significant differences between stressed (60 min) and non-stressed rats with respect to the BDNF mRNA expression in the hippocampus, heart, lung, liver, pancreas, or spleen, as determined by real-time polymerase chain-reaction. These findings suggest that the submandibular glands may be the primary source of plasma BDNF in conditions of acute immobilization stress.

Abstract
We report an experimental investigation of the magnetic field effect (MFE) in polymer bulk heterojunction devices at temperatures below 10 K using photocarrier extraction by linearly increasing voltages. The examined devices were composed of an active layer of poly(3-hexylthiophene) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester. In the experiments, the delay time (td) dependence of the MFE was investigated in detail. For td < 80 μs, a positive MFE was observed in the field region B < 0.1 T and a negative MFE was observed for B > 0.2 T. For td > 8 ms, only a positive MFE proportional to B2 was observed. For the photocurrent pulse detected immediately after light irradiation, the MFE was negligibly small. In a high magnetic field of 15 T, a significant MFE exceeding 80% was observed at 1.8 K for td = 800 ms. We discuss the results based on a model of triplet-singlet (or singlet-triplet) conversion in the magnetic field and estimate the exchange integral for the charge-transfer exciton in this photovoltaic cell.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE T1 and T2 values and proton density can now be quantified on the basis of a single MR acquisition. The myelin and edema in a voxel can also be estimated from these values. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a multiparametric quantitative MR imaging model that assesses myelin and edema for characterizing plaques, periplaque white matter, and normal-appearing white matter in patients with MS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined 3T quantitative MR imaging data from 21 patients with MS. The myelin partial volume, excess parenchymal water partial volume, the inverse of T1 and transverse T2 relaxation times (R1, R2), and proton density were compared among plaques, periplaque white matter, and normal-appearing white matter. RESULTS All metrics differed significantly across the 3 groups (P < .001). Those in plaques differed most from those in normal-appearing white matter. The percentage changes of the metrics in plaques and periplaque white matter relative to normal-appearing white matter were significantly more different from zero for myelin partial volume (mean, -61.59 ± 20.28% [plaque relative to normal-appearing white matter], and mean, -10.51 ± 11.41% [periplaque white matter relative to normal-appearing white matter]), and excess parenchymal water partial volume (13.82 × 103 ± 49.47 × 103% and 51.33 × 102 ± 155.31 × 102%) than for R1 (-35.23 ± 13.93% and -6.08 ± 8.66%), R2 (-21.06 ± 11.39% and -4.79 ± 6.79%), and proton density (23.37 ± 10.30% and 3.37 ± 4.24%). CONCLUSIONS Multiparametric quantitative MR imaging captures white matter damage in MS. Myelin partial volume and excess parenchymal water partial volume are more sensitive to the MS disease process than R1, R2, and proton density.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of reported cases of allergic reactions to sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum) has increased significantly. The specific IgE tests and skin prick tests presently available for diagnosis of sesame allergy are all based on crude sesame extract and are limited by their low clinical specificity. Thus, oral food challenge (OFC) is still the gold standard in the diagnosis. OBJECTIVE The aim was to identify the allergen components useful to diagnose sesame-allergic children with the goal to reduce the number of OFCs needed. METHODS Ninety-two sesame-sensitized children were consecutively enrolled and diagnosed based on OFC or convincing history. Specific IgE to purified native 11S globulin (nSes i 11S), 7S globulin (nSes i 7S), 2S albumin (nSes i 2S), and two recombinant 2S albumins (rSes i 1 and rSes i 2) was measured by ELISA and/or ImmunoCAP (rSes i 1/streptavidin application). RESULTS Based on area under curve (AUC) values from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, rSes i 1 was shown to have the best diagnostic performance of the allergen components in ELISA. The experimental rSes i 1 ImmunoCAP test had larger AUC (0.891; 95% CI, 0.826-0.955) compared to the commercially available sesame ImmunoCAP (0.697; 95% CI, 0.589-0.805). The clinical sensitivity and specificity for the rSes i 1 ImmunoCAP test at optimal cut-off (3.96 kUA /L) were 86.1% and 85.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Sensitization to Ses i 1 is strongly associated with clinical sesame allergy. Measurement of specific IgE to rSes i 1 could reduce the numbers of OFCs needed.

Abstract
Twenty-one patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accompanied by extensive celiac artery stenosis or obstruction were treated by chemoembolization via the inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA). The tip of the catheter was placed in the arteries in front of the confluence with the proper hepatic artery in 12 patients (group A: the proximal portion of the IPDA in 10, and common hepatic artery in 2), and in the proper hepatic artery or branches of it (group B) in 9 using a coaxial catheter system. Transient hyperamylasemia was observed in 10 of the 12 patients in group A and in 3 of the 9 patients in group B after chemoembolization. Splenic infarction developed in 8 patients in group A and in none in group B. Intrapancreatic fluid collection was present in 2 patients in group A following chemoembolization. No fatal complications were encountered. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates of the 10 patients in group A treated by only chemoembolization were 90, 57, and 23%, respectively (mean survival 780 days). The 1- and 2-year survival rates of 9 patients in group B were 85.8 and 85.8% (mean 879 days), respectively. Considering the severity of complications and the survival rates in groups A and B, chemoembolization by superselective catheterization into the hepatic artery via the IPDA is the treatment of choice. However, chemoembolization from the arteries in front of the confluence with the proper hepatic artery seems to be acceptable in cases of hypervascular HCC which fail to be superselectively catheterized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND LL-37 is an antimicrobial peptide with pleiotropic effects on the immune system, angiogenesis and tissue remodelling. These are cardinal pathological events in systemic sclerosis (SSc). OBJECTIVES To elucidate the potential role of LL-37 in SSc. METHODS The expression of target molecules was evaluated by immunostaining and quantitative reverse-transcription real-time polymerase chain reaction in human and murine skin. The mechanisms regulating LL-37 expression in endothelial cells were examined by gene silencing and chromatin immunoprecipitation. Serum LL-37 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS In SSc lesional skin, LL-37 expression was increased in dermal fibroblasts, perivascular inflammatory cells, keratinocytes and, particularly, dermal small vessels. Expression positively correlated with interferon-α expression, possibly reflecting LL-37-dependent induction of interferon-α. In SSc animal models, bleomycin-treated skin exhibited the expression pattern of CRAMP, a murine homologue of LL-37, similar to that of LL-37 in SSc lesional skin. Furthermore, Fli1+/- mice showed upregulated expression of CRAMP in dermal small vessels. Fli1 binding to the CAMP (LL-37 gene) promoter and Fli1 deficiency-dependent induction of LL-37 were also confirmed in human dermal microvascular endothelial cells. In the analysis of sera, patients with SSc had serum LL-37 levels significantly higher than in healthy controls. Furthermore, serum LL-37 levels positively correlated with skin score and the activity of alveolitis and were significantly elevated in patients with digital ulcers compared with those without. CONCLUSIONS LL-37 upregulation, induced by Fli1 deficiency at least in endothelial cells, potentially contributes to the development of skin sclerosis, interstitial lung disease and digital ulcers in SSc.

Abstract
Emergent superselective embolization with a 3.0 F (1 mm) coaxial catheter and a steerable guidewire was performed in 27 patients with massive hemorrhage from a small-caliber splanchnic artery. Eight patients had intraperitoneal hemorrhage, 3 had hemobilia, 9 had gastric hemorrhage, and 7 had intestinal hemorrhage. Out of 27 patients, 7 had hemorrhage from a splanchnic artery pseudoaneurysm. Complete cessation of bleeding was obtained in all patients initially, but in 3 patients gastric hemorrhage recurred later. Otherwise, there was no rebleeding nor any major complication such as marked infarction of tissue or misplacement of embolic materials. This coaxial catheter system was highly reliable for achieving superselective catheterization in small-caliber arteries, minimizing the volume of infarcted tissue and allowing maximal preservation of splanchnic organic function. We conclude that this system represents a major advance in interventional radiology.

Abstract
A procedure is indicated to estimate first-passage-time p.d.f.'s through varying boundaries for a class of diffusion processes that can be transformed into the Wiener process by rather general transformations. Although this procedure is adapted to Durbin's [4] algorithm, it could be extended to other existing computation methods.

Abstract
We prove that for a diffusion process the first-passage-time p.d.f. through a continuous-time function with bounded derivative satisfies a Volterra integral equation of the second kind whose kernel and right-hand term are probability currents. For the case of the standard Wiener process this equation is solved in closed form not only for the class of boundaries already introduced by Park and Paranjape [15] but also for all boundaries of the type S(I) = a + bt ‘/p (p ∼ 2, a, b E ∼) for which no explicit analytical results have previously been available.

Abstract
The algorithm given by Buonocore et al. [1] to evaluate first-passage-time p.d.f.’s for Wiener and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes through a time-dependent boundary is extended to a wide class of time-homogeneous one-dimensional diffusion processes. Several examples are thoroughly discussed along with some computational results.

Abstract
AIM This phase II study assessed the efficacy and toxicity of an intermittent weekly capecitabine regimen in combination with oxaliplatin (XELOX) plus bevacizumab as a first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with measurable mCRC who were to receive first-line chemotherapy were enrolled onto this disease-oriented multicenter phase II trial. Patients with mCRC were required to have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 1, to be aged >20 years, and to have adequate organ function. Localization of tumor, toxicities, response rate, progression-free survival (PFS) and time to progression (TTP) were studied. Capecitabine dose was 2,500 mg/m(2)/day on days 1-7 (n=47) and was increased to 3,000 mg/m(2)/day (n=5) in combination with oxaliplatin (85 mg/m(2)) and bevacizumab (5 mg/kg), repeated every 2 weeks. RESULTS A total of 51 patients were enrolled from 14 institutions from December 2011 to July 2012. The median age was 66 (range=38-85) years, 29 (56.9%) had colonic cancer and 22 (43.1%) had rectal cancer in this study. Pertinent grade 3/4 toxicities were neutropenia (13.7%), peripheral neuropathy (13.7%), hypertension (13.7%), gastrointestinal perforation (3.9%), and hand-foot syndrome (5.9%). The response rate was 51% (one complete and 25 partial responses). Median PFS and TTP were 344 days and 196 days, respectively. Median overall survival has not been reached yet. CONCLUSION The first-line treatment of mCRC using a biweekly combination of XELOX plus bevacizumab can also be administered safely and effectively in Japan. It is suggested that this regimen is an appropriate option for the treatment of mCRC.

Abstract
We present a rare case of multiple spinal perimedullary arteriovenous fistulae associated with the Parkes-Weber (PW) syndrome. A 31-year-old male known to have the PW syndrome involving the left leg since birth, presented with a 7-month-history of progressive myelopathy of the lower extremities and dysfunction of the bladder and bowel. Myelography demonstrated dilated intradural vessels. Angiography demonstrated two distinct single hole perimedullary arteriovenous fistulae near the conus at two different metameres. They were supplied by the left posterior spinal artery. The patient was treated by transarterial embolisation using polyvinyl alcohol particles, which resulted in venous side occlusion of the fistulae. After the treatment, the patient developed transient worsening of the spasticity of the lower extremities, and was treated by heparinization. After heparinization, the patient partially recovered from the pre-embolisation status of his myelopathy. The follow-up angiogram one year after the embolisation demonstrated persistent obliteration of both fistulae. At long-term follow-up, the patient can ambulate without assistance and work as a farmer.

Abstract
Objective: To review series of cases in which surgery was used to treat popliteal vein entrapment (PVE). Methods: Between 1984 and 2001, 11 patients (all women; mean age 27.6 years; 14 limbs) underwent surgery for PVE causing calf ache, swelling, and tenderness of the popliteal fossa. Preoperative evidence of PVE included positive results on a passive dorsi-flexion test, compression of the popliteal vein on ascending venography, hypertrophied or aberrant muscle in the popliteal fossa on CT scanning and elevated below-knee venous pressure. The medial or third head of the gastrocnemius muscle was partly or totally resected under the guidance of intraoperative venous pressure measurement and venography. Results: No operative complications occurred. During 3-10 years of follow-up, 57% of limbs were symptom-free, 21% were improved and 21% were unchanged. Conclusion: Treatment of PVE by resection of muscle fibres under the guidance of objective intraoperative assessments was effective in most patients.

Abstract
Jet production rates are measured in p+p and d+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV recorded in 2008 with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Jets are reconstructed using the R=0.3 anti-k_{t} algorithm from energy deposits in the electromagnetic calorimeter and charged tracks in multiwire proportional chambers, and the jet transverse momentum (p_{T}) spectra are corrected for the detector response. Spectra are reported for jets with 12<p_{T}<50 GeV/c, within a pseudorapidity acceptance of |η|<0.3. The nuclear-modification factor (R_{dAu}) values for 0%-100% d+Au events are found to be consistent with unity, constraining the role of initial state effects on jet production. However, the centrality-selected R_{dAu} values and central-to-peripheral ratios (R_{CP}) show large, p_{T}-dependent deviations from unity, challenging the conventional models that relate hard-process rates and soft-particle production in collisions involving nuclei.

Abstract
The p.Asp211Gly homozygous HYLS1 mutation is so far known to cause only hydrolethalus syndrome, a lethal malformation syndrome. We report living sibling patients with a homozygous no-stop mutation in exon 4 of HYLS1, NM_145014.2:c.900A>C (p.Ter300TyrextTer11) in the second decade of life. The proband has Joubert syndrome (JS). The younger brother also has JS and an enlarged posterior fossa that was initially diagnosed as Dandy-Walker malformation. The present mutation is unique as it affects the stop codon. The product protein HYLS1 plays an essential role in the formation of the primary cilium. This report provides insight into the spectrum of disorders involving midline brain defects closely related to cilium dysfunction or ciliopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND β-blockers reduce the tolerance for acute hemodilution by decreasing cerebral oxygenation and may contribute to the incidence of stroke. We hypothesized that β-blockers also increase the risk for cerebral hypoxia when apneic hypoxia occurs. METHODS After induction of isoflurane, 14 swine (mean ± SD =25.3 ± 0.8 kg) were studied using 200 μg/kg/min of landiolol or saline (control group) in three sequential stages: before, during, and after landiolol (saline) infusion. In each stage, after 5 min of mechanical ventilation with 100% oxygen, apnea was induced until the time to < 70% oxygen saturation. Hemodynamic and blood gas variables were measured, and the cerebral tissue oxygenation index (TOI) was recorded by near infrared spectroscopy (apnea experiment). After these steps, hemodilution was induced by hemorrhage of 600 ml and infusion of the same volume of hydroxyethylstarch, and the apnea experiments were then conducted before, during, and after landiolol (saline) infusion similarly to before hemodilution. RESULTS Landiolol decreased TOI at 1 min after apnea and at SpO2 < 70% by 3.3% and 7.0% from each corresponding value at baseline, and by 13.1% and 20.3% during hemodilution. Landiolol shifted the relationship between TOI and arterial hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SaO2 ) or arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2 ) to the left; and reduced TOI at similar arterial blood oxygenation. This phenomenon was marked during hemodilution. CONCLUSIONS Landiolol reduces cerebral tissue oxygenation during apneic hypoxia. β-blockers increase the risk for cerebral hypoxia when apneic hypoxia occurs, especially during acute hemodilution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE A diagnosis of periodontitis progression is presently limited to clinical parameters such as attachment loss and radiographic imaging. The aim of this multicenter study was to monitor disease progression in patients with chronic periodontitis during a 24-mo follow-up program and to evaluate the amount of bacteria in saliva and corresponding IgG titers in serum for determining the diagnostic usefulness of each in indicating disease progression and stability. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 163 patients with chronic periodontitis who received trimonthly follow-up care were observed for 24 mo. The clinical parameters and salivary content of Porphyromonas gingivalis, Prevotella intermedia and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans were assessed using the modified Invader PLUS assay, and the corresponding serum IgG titers were measured using ELISA. The changes through 24 mo were analyzed using cut-off values calculated for each factor. One-way ANOVA or Fisher's exact test was used to perform between-group comparison for the data collected. Diagnostic values were calculated using Fisher's exact test. RESULTS Of the 124 individuals who completed the 24-mo monitoring phase, 62 exhibited periodontitis progression, whereas 62 demonstrated stable disease. Seven patients withdrew because of acute periodontal abscess. The ratio of P. gingivalis to total bacteria and the combination of P. gingivalis counts and IgG titers against P. gingivalis were significantly related to the progression of periodontitis. The combination of P. gingivalis ratio and P. gingivalis IgG titers was significantly associated with the progression of periodontitis (p = 0.001, sensitivity = 0.339, specificity = 0.790). CONCLUSIONS It is suggested that the combination of P. gingivalis ratio in saliva and serum IgG titers against P. gingivalis may be associated with the progression of periodontitis.

Abstract
The energy spacing between the spin-doublet bound state of _{Λ}^{4}He(1^{+},0^{+}) was determined to be 1406±2±2 keV, by measuring γ rays for the 1^{+}→0^{+} transition with a high efficiency germanium detector array in coincidence with the ^{4}He(K^{-},π^{-})_{Λ}^{4}He reaction at J-PARC. In comparison to the corresponding energy spacing in the mirror hypernucleus _{Λ}^{4}H, the present result clearly indicates the existence of charge symmetry breaking (CSB) in ΛN interaction. By combining the energy spacings with the known ground-state binding energies, it is also found that the CSB effect is large in the 0^{+} ground state but is vanishingly small in the 1^{+} excited state, demonstrating that the ΛN CSB interaction has spin dependence.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of elliptic (v(2)) and triangular (v(3)) flow in high-multiplicity (3)He+Au collisions at √(s(NN))=200 GeV. Two-particle correlations, where the particles have a large separation in pseudorapidity, are compared in (3)He+Au and in p+p collisions and indicate that collective effects dominate the second and third Fourier components for the correlations observed in the (3)He+Au system. The collective behavior is quantified in terms of elliptic v(2) and triangular v(3) anisotropy coefficients measured with respect to their corresponding event planes. The v(2) values are comparable to those previously measured in d+Au collisions at the same nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy. Comparisons with various theoretical predictions are made, including to models where the hot spots created by the impact of the three (3)He nucleons on the Au nucleus expand hydrodynamically to generate the triangular flow. The agreement of these models with data may indicate the formation of low-viscosity quark-gluon plasma even in these small collision systems.

Abstract
Invasive tracheal aspergillosis (ITA) is an infection that is unique to patients who have undergone lung transplantation (LT). Although the activity of this disease often appears on imaging, we encountered a case of ITA that became exacerbated, despite few computed tomography (CT) findings, during rituximab combined chemotherapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. ITA developed during immunosuppressive therapy after LT. Because CT findings may show false-negative results, bronchoscopy is recommended for such cases.

Abstract
While adjuvant chemotherapy is preferable for colon cancer, treatment duration is controversial. This phase III trial is investigated optimal duration of adjuvant chemotherapy for Stage IIB/III colon cancer. Eighteen-month treatment with UFT/LV did not improve DFS compared with 6-month UFT/LV treatment. This study suggests that 6 months treatment duration is enough for Stage IIB/III colon cancer. Background While adjuvant chemotherapy is preferable for high-risk colon cancer, treatment duration is controversial. Oral uracil and tegafur (UFT)/leucovorin (LV) is widely used as a standard adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer in Japan. We conducted a phase III trial to investigate the optimal duration of adjuvant chemotherapy for stage IIB/III colon cancer. Patients and methods Patients with curatively resected stage IIB/III colon cancer were eligible for enrollment in this trial. Patients were registered within 6 weeks after surgery and were randomly assigned to receive UFT/LV for 28 of 35 days for 6 months in the control group or for 5 consecutive days per week for 18 months in the study group. The primary end point was the disease-free survival (DFS), and the secondary end points were overall survival (OS) and safety. Result A total of 1071 patients were registered from 233 centers. A statistically significant difference in DFS was not observed between the study group and the control group; the 5-year DFS was 69% in the study group and 69% in the control group. The 5-year OS was 85% in the study group and 85% in the control group. Conclusion Eighteen-month treatment with UFT/LV did not improve DFS or OS compared with 6-month UFT/LV treatment in patients with stage IIB/III colon cancer. The important finding from this study is that not 18 months but 6 months of treatment is enough for postoperative UFT/LV for stage IIB/III colon cancer. Clinical trial number UMIN-CTR C000000245.
