Abstract
Samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu were brought to Earth by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. We analyzed 17 Ryugu samples measuring 1 to 8 millimeters. Carbon dioxide-bearing water inclusions are present within a pyrrhotite crystal, indicating that Ryugu's parent asteroid formed in the outer Solar System. The samples contain low abundances of materials that formed at high temperatures, such as chondrules and calcium- and aluminum-rich inclusions. The samples are rich in phyllosilicates and carbonates, which formed through aqueous alteration reactions at low temperature, high pH, and water/rock ratios of <1 (by mass). Less altered fragments contain olivine, pyroxene, amorphous silicates, calcite, and phosphide. Numerical simulations, based on the mineralogical and physical properties of the samples, indicate that Ryugu's parent body formed ~2 million years after the beginning of Solar System formation.

Abstract
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft investigated the C-type (carbonaceous) asteroid (162173) Ryugu. The mission performed two landing operations to collect samples of surface and subsurface material, the latter exposed by an artificial impact. We present images of the second touchdown site, finding that ejecta from the impact crater was present at the sample location. Surface pebbles at both landing sites show morphological variations ranging from rugged to smooth, similar to Ryugu's boulders, and shapes from quasi-spherical to flattened. The samples were returned to Earth on 6 December 2020. We describe the morphology of >5 grams of returned pebbles and sand. Their diverse color, shape, and structure are consistent with the observed materials of Ryugu; we conclude that they are a representative sample of the asteroid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is growing interest in examining objective markers for early identification and behavioral intervention to prevent dementia and mild cognitive impairment in clinical and community settings. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between salivary alpha-amylase as an objective measure of psychological stress response and mild cognitive impairment for the implication of psychological stress in the development of mild cognitive impairment. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cross-sectional study involved 865 participants aged ≥ 65 years. A saliva sample was collected in the morning, and the levels of salivary alpha-amylase were assayed. Mild cognitive impairment was evaluated using the Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment; a score < 26 was indicative of mild cognitive impairment. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to examine the association of salivary alpha-amylase and mild cognitive impairment after adjusting for age, sex, current drinking status, current smoking status, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, physical activity, education, social support, social network, and heart rate variability. RESULTS Salivary alpha-amylase was associated with mild cognitive impairment (the multivariable-adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval] for the 1-standard deviation increment of log-transformed salivary alpha-amylase was 1.24 [1.07-1.44]). This significant association persisted after adjusting for various confounding factors. CONCLUSION Elevation of salivary alpha-amylase was associated with mild cognitive impairment among Japanese community-dwelling older adults. This suggests that salivary alpha-amylase is a useful objective marker of psychological stress responses associated with mild cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Atrial fibrillation (AF) promotes left atrial (LA) remodeling and vice versa. LA volume index (LAVI) ≥34 mL/m2 is an established cut-off value for identifying an enlarged left atrium. Catheter ablation has become an established therapy for AF and provides a reduction of LA volume by maintaining sinus rhythm (reverse remodeling). However, the definition of LA reverse remodeling after AF ablation is undetermined.
Purpose
We hypothesized that patients with LA dilatation who obtain normal LA volume (LAVI <34 mL/m2) after AF ablation would have better long-term outcomes than those who do not. Furthermore, we investigated whether patients with a normal LA volume could also obtain normal LA function with AF ablation.
Methods
We enrolled 140 AF patients with baseline LAVI ≥34 mL/m2, without AF recurrence for 1 year after the initial AF ablation. We acquired conventional and speckle-tracking echocardiographic parameters within 24 h and at 1 year after the procedure. Late recurrence was defined as AF recurrence >1 year after the initial ablation. To define the normal range of LA function, age-and sex-matched 140 controls without a history of AF were also enrolled.
Results
After restoration of sinus rhythm, overall LA structural and functional parameters were significantly improved, and 75 patients (54%) had normal LA volume at the time of follow-up (Table). During a median follow-up of 44 (31–61) months, 32 patients (23%) experienced a late recurrence of AF. Patients who obtained normal LA volume after AF ablation had fewer late recurrences than those who did not (P<0.01) (Figure). However, LA functional abnormalities still existed in AF patients, even if LA volume was normalized as in controls (Table).
Conclusion
Patients who obtain normal LA volume have better long-term outcomes of AF ablation than those who do not. Although AF ablation promotes beneficial effects on LA structure and function, LA function cannot be normalized even in patients who obtain normal LA volume after successful ablation. Thus, physicians should carefully consider long-term follow-up and residual AF risks, regardless of sinus rhythm restoration by catheter ablation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The peak oxygen uptake (VO2) evaluated by the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) is an established marker of exercise capacity in patients with heart failure (HF). In particular, peak VO2 <14 ml/kg/min is used to be one of the criteria for heart transplantation. However, given exercise intolerance in patients with HF, it is difficult for refractory HF patients to reach sufficient exercise load. A recent report has highlighted significant impact of right ventricular (RV) function on mortality and urgent heart transplantation. Taken together, we hypothesized that the assessment of RV function was helpful to predict exercise capacity by using low-load exercise stress echocardiography (low-load ESE) in patients with HF.
Purpose
We evaluated whether RV dysfunction assessed by the low-load ESE determined a low peak VO2 <14 ml/kg/min in patients with HF.
Methods
We studied 67 consecutive hospitalized patients with HF (mean age, 65 years; 75% male; mean LV ejection fraction, 36%) who underwent ESE and CPX after stabilized HF condition, and the time interval of CPX and ESE tests was within 48 hours. CPX was performed using an upright cycle ergometer by a ramp protocol, while ESE was performed using ergometer in semi-supine position and the workload was generally increased by 25 watts every 3 minutes. The low-load ESE was defined as the 25 watts exercise. The increments of RV s' velocity at tricuspid annulus and RV strain in the free wall were considered as a preservation of RV contractile reserve. Among the study population, 26 patients were performed right heart catheterization and RV dP/dt/Pmax was estimated as an invasive marker of RV contractility.
Results
The achieved intensity of exercise was 50.4±21.0 watts, and all patients completed the low-load ESE. The invasive study showed that the change of RV s' velocity during the low-load ESE significantly correlated with RV dP/dt/Pmax (r=0.706, p<0.001). As shown in Figure, the non-invasive parameters of RV contractile reserve during the low-load ESE were significantly correlated with peak VO2 (RV s' velocity: r=0.787, p<0.001; RV strain: r=0.244, p=0.047). ROC analysis showed that the change of RV s' velocity during the low-load ESE correctly identified patients with peak VO2 <14 ml/kg/min (AUC=0.95, sensitivity 92.3%, specificity 85.2%). In terms of inter- and intra-observer variabilities, ICCs of the change of RV s' velocity were 0.86 and 0.96, and ICCs of the changes of RV strain were 0.63 and 0.70, respectively.
Conclusion
The change of RV s' velocity during the low-load ESE could determine exercise tolerance in patients with HF. The assessment of RV contractile reserve might be clinically useful to discriminate high risk HF patients.

Abstract
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft investigated the small asteroid Ryugu, which has a rubble-pile structure. We describe an impact experiment on Ryugu using Hayabusa2's Small Carry-on Impactor. The impact produced an artificial crater with a diameter >10 meters, which has a semicircular shape, an elevated rim, and a central pit. Images of the impact and resulting ejecta were recorded by the Deployable CAMera 3 for >8 minutes, showing the growth of an ejecta curtain (the outer edge of the ejecta) and deposition of ejecta onto the surface. The ejecta curtain was asymmetric and heterogeneous and it never fully detached from the surface. The crater formed in the gravity-dominated regime; in other words, crater growth was limited by gravity not surface strength. We discuss implications for Ryugu's surface age.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Long-term efficacy following catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unknown. Left atrial (LA) reverse remodeling following CA may be important to reduce the risk of very late recurrence (VLR).
Purpose
We hypothesize that improved mechanical conduction delay with myocardial strain is associated with LA reverse remodeling indicates efficacy following AF ablation. This study aimed to investigate the clinical utility of mechanical conduction delay to predict VLR in patients with AF undergoing CA.
Methods
We enrolled 114 consecutive patients undergoing initial CA in patients with AF from January 2012 to February 2014. 20 patients were excluded due to poor echocardiographic image quality. 38 patients had AF recurrence within 12 months after CA. Finally, 54 patients (age 62 years, 13 female, 15 persistent AF) were analyzed. Trans-thoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed within 24 hours as baseline, and every 6–12 months following the initial CA as follow-up. We compared the TTE data with baseline and latest test when sinus rhythm was maintained. To assess atrial electromechanical conduction delay, we adopted a parameter based on speckle tracking echocardiography (EMT-ε), which was defined as the interval from the P- wave onset to the peak late diastolic longitudinal strain in the basal lateral wall of LA (Figure).
Results
Eleven patients had VLR after CA. In patients with VLR, left atrial volume index (LAVI) at baseline was significantly higher than those without VLR (49±17 vs 35±14 ml/m2, P<0.05). EMT-ε had no significant difference between two groups (225±52 vs 208±49 ms, P=NS).
During 58±22 months, LAVI and EMT-ε were significantly improved (LAVI: 38±16 vs 33±14 ml/m2, EMT-ε: 215±48 vs 197±45 ms, P<0.05, respectively). The change of LAVI had no significant difference between two groups (−2 (−10, 4) vs 33 (−13, 6) ml/m2, P=NS). EMT-ε shortening was significantly greater in AF-free patients than patients with VLR (−27 (−66, −3) vs 23 (−1, 79) ms, P<0.01). At a cut-off value of −9 ms, the change of EMT-ε predicted VLR with sensitivity (100%) and specificity (68.9%).
Conclusion(s)
The atrial electromechanical conduction delay could predict VLR after CA in patients with AF.

Abstract
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft arrived at the near-Earth carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu in 2018. We present Hayabusa2 observations of Ryugu's shape, mass, and geomorphology. Ryugu has an oblate "spinning top" shape, with a prominent circular equatorial ridge. Its bulk density, 1.19 ± 0.02 grams per cubic centimeter, indicates a high-porosity (>50%) interior. Large surface boulders suggest a rubble-pile structure. Surface slope analysis shows Ryugu's shape may have been produced from having once spun at twice the current rate. Coupled with the observed global material homogeneity, this suggests that Ryugu was reshaped by centrifugally induced deformation during a period of rapid rotation. From these remote-sensing investigations, we identified a suitable sample collection site on the equatorial ridge.

Abstract
The near-Earth carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu is thought to have been produced from a parent body that contained water ice and organic molecules. The Hayabusa2 spacecraft has obtained global multicolor images of Ryugu. Geomorphological features present include a circum-equatorial ridge, east-west dichotomy, high boulder abundances across the entire surface, and impact craters. Age estimates from the craters indicate a resurfacing age of [Formula: see text] years for the top 1-meter layer. Ryugu is among the darkest known bodies in the Solar System. The high abundance and spectral properties of boulders are consistent with moderately dehydrated materials, analogous to thermally metamorphosed meteorites found on Earth. The general uniformity in color across Ryugu's surface supports partial dehydration due to internal heating of the asteroid's parent body.

Abstract
Angelica keiskei Koidzumi (Ashitaba) is a traditional folk medicine that is also regarded in Japan as a health food with potential antithrombotic properties. The ability of the major chalcones, xanthoangelol (XA) and 4-hydroxyderricin (4-HD) extracted from Ashitaba roots to inhibit platelet aggregation activity in vitro was recently determined. However, the anti-platelet activities of Ashitaba chalcones in vivo have remained unclear. The present study examines the anti-platelet effects of Ashitaba exudate and its constituent chalcones using mouse tail-bleeding models that reflect platelet aggregation in vivo. Ashitaba exudate and the major chalcone subtype XA, suppressed the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced shortening of mouse tail bleeding. However, trace amounts of other Ashitaba chalcone subtypes including xanthoangelols B (XB), D (XD), E (XE) and F (XF) did not affect tail bleeding. These results suggest that the major chalcone subtype in Ashitaba, XA, has anti-platelet-activities in vivo.

Abstract
Patients with open bite often show a weak occlusal force and temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). If these are the main cause of open bite, it may be hypothesized that both pre-pubertal and adult open-bite patients would show a weak occlusal force and abnormal condylar motion. The purpose of this study was to test this hypothesis. Test group subjects consisted of 13 consecutive pre-pubertal and 13 adult patients with anterior open bite. They were compared with age-matched normal subjects. The adult open-bite group showed a weaker occlusal force and a shorter range of condylar motion compared with the control subjects. In the pre-pubertal subjects, however, there were no significant differences in the occlusal force and range of condylar motion between the open-bite and control groups. Therefore, these results suggest that a weak occlusal force or TMDs may not be the main cause of open bite.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This investigation aimed to establish the basis of a pharmacotherapy for nifedipine-induced gingival overgrowth. Gingival overgrowth has been attributed to the enhanced growth of gingival fibroblasts. In this study, we investigated the effects of 18-α-glycyrrhetinic acid (18α-GA) on growth, the cell cycle, and apoptosis and on the regulators of these processes in gingival fibroblasts isolated from patients who presented with nifedipine-induced gingival overgrowth. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Gingival fibroblasts were cultured in medium containing 1% FBS with/without 10 μM 18α-GA for 24 or 48 h, and the cell number, cell cycle phase distribution, relative DNA content, apoptotic cell number and morphological characteristics of the cells undergoing apoptosis were measured together with the levels of proteins that regulate these processes and the level of caspase activity. KEY RESULTS 18α-GA significantly decreased cell numbers and significantly increased the percentage of cells in the sub-G1 and G0 /G1 phases of the cell cycle and the number of apoptotic cells. Nuclear condensation and fragmentation of cells into small apoptotic bodies appeared in the fibroblasts treated with 18α-GA. In addition, 18α-GA significantly decreased the protein levels of cyclins A and D1, CDKs 2 and 6, phosphorylated Rb (ser(780) and ser(807/811)), Bcl-xL and Bcl-2 and increased the protein levels of p27, cytosolic cytochrome c, pro-caspase-3, and cleaved caspase-3 and the activities of caspases 3 and 9. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS 18α-GA inhibited gingival fibroblast growth by suppressing the G1 /S phase transition and inducing apoptosis. In conclusion, 18α-GA may be used as a pharmacotherapy for nifedipine-induced gingival overgrowth.

Abstract
Human hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are two major etiologic agents of chronic hepatitis, which is closely related to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We investigated the role of HBV coinfection in ongoing HCV-related liver diseases in HCV-infected patients. We found a high prevalence of anti-HBc in anti-HCV-positive/HBsAg-negative HCC patients and also found a close correlation between anti-HBc positivity and integration of HBV DNA into HCC DNA of anti-HCV-positive/HBsAg-negative patients. The present data suggest that integrated HBV DNA may play an important role in the development of HCC in the anti-HCV-positive/HBsAg-negative patients carrying the anti-HBc antibody.

Abstract
We developed a newly designed wavelength modulation (WM) system for highly sensitive absorption spectroscopy. In our system, the WM is realized by yawing an output mirror in a monochromator. In order to control an amplitude Δλ of the WM in a wide range, we employed a forced vibration of a permanent magnet driven by a magnetic field of a solenoid. Our system has an advantage of that the WM amplitude Δλ can be adjusted in extensively wide range from 0.08 nm to 11 nm only by tuning a driving frequency of the applying current to the solenoid, because we utilize a resonance phenomenon of the forced vibration for adjustment of the WM amplitude. By using our system, we measured WM absorption spectra of a Cu(2)O thin film and found clearly spectral structures for weak 2-4P excitonic resonances in the WM absorption spectra.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), requiring mechanical ventilation and exogenous surfactant treatment, and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), are common co-morbidities in very premature infants. The effects of intra-tracheal surfactant administration on the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems in very premature infants with RDS and PDAs are not well characterized. We evaluated the effects of poractant alfa and beractant, surfactants with different rapidity of onset and duration of action, in very premature infants with RDS. To assess whether there were differences in PDA hemodynamics in very premature infants with RDS treated with poractant alfa and beractant during the first week of life and to assess whether poractant alfa or beractant had a direct effect on PDAs and PDA hemodynamics following the second dose of surfactant. STUDY DESIGN We studied 50 in-born, very premature infants with RDS, 24 0 of 7 to 29 6 of 7 weeks gestation, treated with poractant alfa or beractant, in an open label, 1:1, randomized clinical trial. A subgroup of 16 patients with severe RDS, treated with a second dose of surfactant, had echocardiographical assessments before and 20 to 30 min after the second dose of surfactant. RESULT There were 25 infants treated with poractant alfa (27.1±1.6 weeks, birth weight 930±231 g) and 25 treated with beractant (26.7±1.7 weeks, P=0.407 and birth weight 898±282 g, P=0.666). Clinically significant PDAs were diagnosed and treated in 8 of 25 (32%) of the poractant alfa and 19 of 25 (76%) of the beractant group (P=0.002). Indomethacin treatment was slightly earlier (3.4±2.5 days) in the poractant alfa than in the beractant group (5.1±4.9 days, P=0.038). Right ventricle pressure (RVP)/systolic arterial pressure (SAP) ratio in the first week was slightly lower in the poractant alfa (64±20%) than in the beractant (78±26%, P=0.048) group. Following a second dose of surfactant, neither poractant alfa nor beractant changed PDA flow. These hemodynamic observations were associated with less respiratory support in the poractant alfa group, allowing earlier extubation (13 of 25 at 48 h and 15 of 25 at 72 h), than in the beractant group (6 of 25 at 48 h, P=0.044, and 8 of 25 at 72 h, P=0.049). CONCLUSION The more rapid improvement in pulmonary function in the poractant alfa-treated infants was associated with a lower RVP/SAP ratio and a corresponding earlier treatment with indomethacin. Neither surfactant had a significant direct effect on PDA hemodynamics. The lower frequency of clinically significant PDAs in the poractant alfa compared with the beractant group may represent an indirect effect of the differences in the pulmonary improvement induced by the two surfactants.

Abstract
Record-breaking high power coherent radiation at a subterahertz frequency region from a gyrotron utilizing second harmonic resonance modes was attained with a simple cavity. In order to aim at high power and high frequency simultaneously, the oscillation mode was selected carefully enough to realize stable radiation free from mode competition. The cavity radius was determined from the viewpoints of the oscillation frequency, the coupling coefficient between the electron beam, and the rf-electric field. The cavity length was also optimized for the highest perpendicular efficiency. In addition, a new electron gun which is capable of generating a thin laminar beam for a large current was introduced. Consequently, single mode second harmonic radiation with powers of 52 and 37 kW at frequencies of about 349 and 390 GHz, respectively, was achieved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We propose a new business-process analysis approach, Time Process Study (TPS), which comprises process analysis and time and motion studies (TMS). TPS offsets weaknesses of TMS; the cost of field studies and the difficulties in applying them to tasks whose time span differs from those of usual tasks. METHODS In TPS, the job procedures are first displayed using a unified modeling language (UML). Next, time and manpower for each procedure are studied through interviews and TMS, and the information is appended to the UML diagram. We applied TPS in the case of a hospital-based cancer registry (HCR) of a university hospital to clarify the work procedure and the time required, and investigated TPS's availability. RESULTS Meetings for the study were held once a month from July to September in 2008, and one inquirer committed a total of eight hours to the hospital survey. TPS revealed that HCR consisted of three tasks and 14 functions. The registration required 123 hours/month/person, the quality control required 6.5 hours/ 6 months/person and filing data into the population-based cancer registry required 0.5 hours/6 months/person. Of the total tasks involved in registration, 116.5 hours/month/person were undertaken by a registration worker, which shows the necessity of employing one full-time staff. CONCLUSION With TPS, it is straightforward to share the concept among the study-team because the job procedure is first displayed using UML. Therefore, it requires a few workload to conduct TMS and interview. The obtained results were adopted for the review of staff assignment of HCR by Japanese government.

Abstract
Pathological gambling has been described frequently in patients with Parkinson disease or other movement disorders who were treated with dopamine agonists. Here, we report a patient with recurrent depression who developed pathological gambling after administration of the dopamine agonist cabergoline. A 36-year-old male Japanese patient presented with his third episode of depression. His depressive symptoms responded minimally to fluvoxamine. Cabergoline was then added to augment the antidepressant's efficacy. Although this regimen resulted in dramatic improvement, he started to spend considerable money and time every day in pachinko parlors and go to the horse racing track every weekend. He spent more than twenty thousand US dollars in total. He tried to stop gambling many times but failed to control his urge. His gambling behavior did not stop even though he was experiencing a marital crisis. He had not displayed any manic symptoms during this entire period. This complication fulfilled the criteria for pathological gambling according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of MentalDisorders, Fourth Edition, Text Revision edition. The patient's perplexing behavior did not end until cabergoline was discontinued. Thus far, pathological gambling associated with cabergoline has rarely been reported while gambling associated with pramipexole and ropinirole, dopamine agonists, has frequently been documented. In addition, this is the first case of depression in which the patient developed pathological gambling during treatment with a dopamine agonist. In conclusion, clinicians should be aware of the potential for pathological gambling when prescribing cabergoline to patients with depression.

Abstract
Hashimoto encephalopathy has a wide clinical spectrum with various neuropsychiatric features. The detection of anti-thyroid antibodies in patient sera is helpful, but alone not sufficient for the diagnosis of Hashimoto encephalopathy because of the high prevalence of antibodies in the normal population. Here, a patient with Hashimoto encephalopathy, who presented with progressive cerebellar ataxia with mild abnormality on electroencephalography (EEG) and who showed marked improvement after steroid administration, is described. This emphasises that Hashimoto encephalopathy can present with isolated cerebellar ataxia and is responsive to immunosupression.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of a portable incubator with a CO(2) chamber on the viability and development of porcine oocytes/embryos for their transportation and examined the operational suitability of a straw or dish as a container for culturing the oocytes or embryos in the portable incubator. In the first experiment, the cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were placed either in a dish or straw; and they were then cultured for 44 h in a standard CO(2) incubator, in the CO(2) chamber in an incubator, or in the CO(2) chamber in a portable incubator. The matured oocytes were fertilized with frozen-thawed spermatozoa and then cultured in a dish in the standard CO(2) incubator for 8 days. There were no differences in the proportions of oocytes reaching metaphase II stage among the groups. However, the proportions of cleavage and development to blastocysts derived from oocytes matured in a straw were lower than those from oocytes matured in a dish, irrespective of the type of incubator used. In the second experiment, the COCs were matured in a dish in the standard CO(2) incubator, and the matured oocytes were fertilized and then placed either in a dish or straw. These were then cultured for 8 days in the standard CO(2) incubator or portable incubator. Some zygotes cultured in the portable incubator developed to the blastocyst stage. The proportions of cleavage and development to blastocysts were significantly lower for putative zygotes cultured in straw than for those cultured in dish, irrespective of the type of incubator used. Our results indicate that a portable incubator with a CO(2) chamber can maintain the viability and development of oocytes/embryos, but the straw is not a suitable system for in vitro culture of the oocytes/embryos during transportation.

Abstract
Collective Thomson scattering (CTS) is expected to provide the spatially resolved velocity distribution functions of not only thermal and tail ions but also alpha particles resulting from fusion reactions. CTS using gyrotrons with frequency higher than the conventional ones used for plasma heating would have advantages to alleviate refraction, cutoff effects, and background electron cyclotron emission noise. Therefore, a high-power pulse gyrotron operating at approximately 400 GHz is being developed for CTS in Large Helical Device (LHD). A single-mode oscillation with a frequency greater than 400 GHz, applying the second-harmonic resonance, was successfully demonstrated in the first stage. At the same time, concrete feasibility study based on ray tracing, scattering spectra, and electron cyclotron emission calculations has been conducted.

Abstract
1. The purpose of this study was to evaluate drug clearance measured by the metabolic intrinsic clearance (CL(int)) in a substrate depletion assay in comparison with the in vivo clearance (CL(tot)) observed in adjuvant-induced arthritis (AA) rats. 2. After intravenous administration of diclofenac as a model drug, CL(tot) was 2.8-fold higher in AA rats than in control rats. In two different substrate depletion assays with liver microsomes for glucuronidation and hydroxylation, the CL(int) values for glucuronidation was significantly decreased in AA rats to 60% of the value in control rats, whereas the CL(int) values for hydroxylation were similar. The unbound fraction of diclofenac in plasma (f(u, plasma)) was significantly higher (2.8-fold) in AA rats than in control rats. 3. Hepatic clearance predicted from the CL(int) values for both biotransformation pathways and f(u, plasma) was higher in AA rats than in control rats, with good consistency between predicted and observed values. The same results were obtained for experiments using hepatocytes. 4. The plasma protein-binding activities, rather than metabolic clearance, in both types of rats would be a determining factor in the pharmacokinetic behaviour differences between control and AA rats. 5. In summary, substrate depletion assays with liver microsomes and hepatocytes in combination with protein binding assessment can help to predict changes in pharmacokinetics under AA conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative adhesion is a complication common to all surgical subspecialties. TachoComb is a collagen fleece with properties well suited to the prevention of adhesion. This preclinical study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and mechanism of action of TachoComb in the prevention of adhesion following pleural injury during thoracic surgery. METHODS Rats (n = 72) were randomised to receive saline or TachoComb following pleural injury. The macroscopic severity of adhesion formation and histological changes were assessed following euthanasia at time points up to 28 weeks post-operation. Levels of the biochemical markers t-PA, PAI-1 and bFGF were measured in intrapleural lavage fluid. RESULTS The severity of adhesion was lower in TachoComb-treated animals compared with control animals at all time points (mean adhesion score: 1.4 vs. 4 at week 28 post-operation; P < 0.01). Regeneration of the mesothelial cell stratum occurred faster in TachoComb-treated animals, and a significantly lower PAI-1 activity was observed (14.32 vs. 23.28 U/ml; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS TachoComb is effective in the prevention of adhesion following thoracic surgery, both by acting as a physical barrier and by inhibiting PAI-1 activity.

Abstract
Recently, we discovered autoantibodies against the amino (NH(2))-terminal of alpha-enolase (NAE) in patients with Hashimoto's encephalopathy (HE) (83.3%; 5/6) [Fujii, A., Yoneda, M., Ito, T., Yamamura, O., Satomi, S., Higa, H., Kimura, M., Suzuki, M., Yamashita, M., Yuasa, T., Suzuki, H., Kuriyama, M., 2005. Autoantibodies against the amino terminal of alpha-enolase are a useful diagnostic marker of Hashimoto's encephalopathy. J. Neuroimmunol. 162, 130-136]. We further investigated the anti-NAE autoantibodies in 25 patients who fit the diagnostic criteria for HE, based on the presence of anti-thyroid antibodies and responsiveness to immunotherapy. In this study, we demonstrated a high prevalence (68%, 17 of 25) and high specificity of anti-NAE autoantibodies in patients with HE, and clarified the clinical features of HE. This result demonstrated that anti-NAE autoantibodies, in addition to anti-thyroid autoantibodies, are emphasized as useful serological diagnostic markers of HE.

Abstract
New information on the photo-fragmentation of biomolecules is obtained from the detection of neutral and ionic fragments using a time and position resolved coincidence technique that reveals whether an ionic photofragment is associated with one or more neutral fragments. In the case of a sequential dissociation, both fragmentation channels are identified as well as their time ordering.

Abstract
We investigated autoantibodies and their epitope(s) in Hashimoto's encephalopathy associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. In a proteomic analysis, they proved to recognize alpha-enolase. We further searched the epitope region in alpha-enolase using different regions of recombinant proteins expressed in cultured human cells. The amino terminal region was recognized by autobodies from a much higher proportion of patients with Hashimoto's encephalopathy (83.3%; 5/6) than from patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (11.8%; 2/17), and not at all by sera from controls (25 healthy individuals and 25 controls with other neurological disorders) (0%; 0/50). Neither the carboxyl terminal nor the mid-region of alpha-enolase showed specificity for Hashimoto's encephalopathy. Autoantibodies against the amino terminal of alpha-enolase are a useful diagnostic marker for Hashimoto's encephalopathy.

Abstract
This study aimed to quantify oxidative metabolism in masseter muscle using near-infrared spectroscopy, in particular for denture wearers. Fourteen normal dentate subjects without malocclusion (ND group, 25-50 years) participated in the quantification of oxidative metabolism. Eleven partially edentulous patients without occlusal stops (PD group, 64-80 years) and ten edentulous patients (CD group, 57-84 years) also participated after prosthodontic treatment. Oxidative metabolism was recorded during gum chewing, maximum clenching and regulated clenching at 5 kgf. The oxygenated hemoglobin at 5 kgf clenching level was normalized to the oxygenated hemoglobin at the lowest blood flow and expressed as oxygen consumption rate (OCR). The relationship of the OCR to the maximum clenching force was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient, and differences between the PD and CD groups were tested by unpaired Student's t-test. The OCR showed a significant negative correlation with maximum clenching force in the ND group. The OCR of the PD group was significantly greater than that of the CD group, although the difference in maximum clenching force was not significant between both groups. These results suggest that the aerobic ability of masseter muscle in complete denture wearers is relatively greater than in partial denture wearers with same age level.

Abstract
The (1:1) clusters of 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene (TFB) with methanol and with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) were studied both experimentally and computationally. Through use of fluorescence-detected infrared spectroscopy, the (1:1) clusters were identified in supersonic jets. Intermolecular interactions in the clusters were characterized by the spectral shifts of the aromatic C-H stretching modes in the TFB moiety owing to the cluster formation. The molecular structures, stabilization energies, and vibrational frequencies of the clusters were computed at the MP2/6-31+G level. Both computational and experimental data indicate that an aromatic C-H...O hydrogen bond is present in the TFB-methanol cluster, while it is absent in the TFB-TFE cluster.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statistical data of mortality and morbidity related to anesthesia have not been reported in Japan since World War II. The need to comprehensively examine the events of cardiac arrest as well as mortality prompted the first national study in Japan. METHODS Confidential questionnaires were sent to all Japan Society of Anesthesiologists Certified Training Hospitals every year from 1994 through 1998. Collected data were analyzed for incidence of cardiac arrest and other critical events during anesthesia and surgery, and their outcomes within 7 postoperative days. The principal causes of the critical incidents were also analyzed. RESULTS With an average response rate of 39.9%, a total of 2,363,038 cases were documented over 5 years. The average incidence per year of cardiac arrest during surgery due to all etiologies and that totally attributable to anesthesia was 7.12 [95%CI: 6.30,7.94] and 1.00 [0.88, 1.12]) per 10,000 cases, respectively. The average mortality per year in the operating room or within 7 postoperative days due to all etiologies and that totally attributable to anesthesia was 7.18 [6.22, 8.13] and 0.21 [0.15, 0.27] per 10,000 cases, respectively. The two principal causes of cardiac arrest during anesthesia and surgery due to all etiologies were massive hemorrhage (31.9%) and surgery (30.2%), and those totally attributable to anesthesia were drug overdose or selection error (15.3%) and serious arrhythmia (13.9%). Preventable human errors caused 53.2% of cardiac arrest and 22.2% of deaths in the operating room totally attributable to anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS The rates in Japan of cardiac arrest and death during anesthesia and surgery due to all etiologies as well as those totally attributable to anesthesia are comparable to those of other developed countries.

Abstract
A 48-year-old woman with late infantile onset mental retardation developed megacolon. Although the patient had no typical clinical features of Hirschsprung disease-mental retardation syndrome, a new 3-base pair deletion, eliminating an Asn, was identified in the responsible gene ZFHX1B. This suggests that screening for ZFHX1B mutations is warranted even in the absence of typical clinical features of the syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Neuroleptic agents have been associated with gynecomastia, but evidence for a causal link is insufficient. We describe a case of unilateral gynecomastia without galactorrhea in a 38-year-old man during sulpiride treatment for generalized anxiety disorder. The patient had been treated with sulpiride (100 mg/day) for about 5 months by a primary care physician. In this patient, no specific endocrine alterations were found, except for a marked increase in prolactin (PRL) level and slight decrease in testosterone (T)/estradiol (E2) ratio. Drug withdrawal led to a reduction of the lump. Sulpiride is a substituted benzamide with selective dopaminergic blocking activity. From the marked increase in PRL level and the slight decrease in T/E2 ratio observed during sulpiride therapy, it is proposed that sulpiride may induce gynecomastia by inhibiting hypothalamic-pituitary function directly, and/or indirectly through hyperPRLemia.

Abstract
This preliminary study was performed to investigate the prevalence of the serotonin syndrome in a group of Japanese patients in a clinical setting and to test the reliability and value of the Serotonin Syndrome Scale (SSS) as an assessment tool in a Japanese-language version (JSSS). Twenty-three patients, all being treated with serotonin agonists, gave informed consent to participate. Only one patient fulfilled strict diagnostic criteria of the serotonin syndrome and none of the JSSS scores reached the cutoff point of the SSS. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the JSSS was 0.56. All inter-rater reliability coefficients were in the excellent range, and the JSSS had a high stability over time. The mean dose of fluvoxamine in the subgroup with high scores on the JSSS was significantly larger than that in the subgroup with low scores and there was a positive but non-significant correlation between total JSSS scores and doses of fluvoxamine. This preliminary study indicates that (1) a full serotonin syndrome was a rare phenomenon in a group of Japanese patients in a clinical setting and (2) the JSSS is a simple and reliable scale for evaluating the serotonin syndrome.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify factors affecting stent occlusion after stent placement in the portal vein in patients with malignant portal vein invasion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty patients were studied. Twenty-three patients had hepatocellular carcinoma, nine patients had pancreatic cancer, and eight patients had bile duct cancer. Stents were placed in the portal venous system across stenotic (n = 28) or obstructive (n = 12) lesions after percutaneous transhepatic portography. Bare stents were used in 33 patients and covered stents were used in seven patients. Twenty-two variables were analyzed with use of univariate and multivariate analyses to identify significant factors affecting stent occlusion. RESULTS Stents remained patent during a mean follow-up period of 11.9 months (range, 2-61 mo) in 60% of the patients. Stent occlusion was found in 40% of the patients, with a mean period until occlusion of 3.7 months (range, 0.2-16 mo). In the univariate analysis, the following five factors were significantly associated with a higher probability of stent occlusion: (i) splanchnic vein involvement, (ii) Child-Pugh class C, (iii) obstruction of the portal venous system, (iv) pancreatic cancer, and (v) lack of anticancer treatment after stent placement. In the multivariate analysis, the first three factors were found to have independent value for stent occlusion. CONCLUSIONS Splanchnic vein involvement, severe hepatic dysfunction, and obstruction of the portal venous system are the most important factors affecting stent occlusion in patients with malignant portal vein invasion.
