Abstract
All-solid-state lithium batteries are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage systems. Their performance critically depends on the capacity and cycling stability of the cathodic layer. Cells with a garnet Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) electrolyte can show high areal storage capacity. However, they commonly suffer from performance degradation during cycling. For fully inorganic cells based on LiCoO2 (LCO) as cathode active material and LLZO, the electrochemically induced interface amorphization has been identified as an origin of the performance degradation. This study shows that the amorphized interface can be recrystallized by thermal recovery (annealing) with nearly full restoration of the cell performance. The structural and chemical changes at the LCO/LLZO heterointerface associated with degradation and recovery were analyzed in detail and justified by thermodynamic modeling. Based on this comprehensive understanding, this work demonstrates a facile way to recover more than 80% of the initial storage capacity through a thermal recovery (annealing) step. The thermal recovery can be potentially used for cost-efficient recycling of ceramic all-solid-state batteries.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), Fibroscan, acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI), and aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio (APRI) and their combination for early stage liver cirrhosis. Methods: Three hundred and twenty-two hospitalized patients who had been diagnosed with chronic viral liver disease from March 2016 to April 2018 were included. According to the clinical diagnosis, patients were divided into chronic hepatitis and the early stage liver cirrhosis group (Child-Pugh A grade). All patients were examined by Fibroscan to detect liver stiffness measurement (LSM), ARFI to detect liver virtual touch tissue quantification (VTQ) value, esophagogastroduodenoscopy and EUS to detect esophagogastric varices, laboratory and imaging examination. The index of EUS, Fibroscan, ARFI, and APRI was analyzed and the regression model was established by binary logistic regression, and the diagnostic efficacy of the above index and regression model for early stage of cirrhosis was evaluated by the area under a receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCs). Results: An early stage cirrhosis group had significantly higher detection rate with EUS (esophagogastric varices), Fibroscan (LSM), ARFI (VTQ) and APRI than chronic hepatitis group [76.7% vs. 10.7%, 10.4 (7.8, 17.3) vs. 6.1 (5.2, 8.4) kPa, 1.71(1.48, 2.07) m/s vs. 1.25(1.14, 1.43) m/s and 0.65 (0.38, 1.15) vs. 0.38(0.26, 0.62), respectively]. The corresponding chi-square test were 140.86, Z = -9.069, Z = -9.948 and Z = -5.764, respectively and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve and regression model were 0.830 (0.783 ~ 0.877), 0.793 (0.744 ~ 0.841), 0.821 (0.775 ~ 0.868), 0.686 (0.628 ~ 0.744) and 0.947 (0.925 ~ 0.969) for the diagnosis of early stage cirrhosis, respectively. Among them, the regression model of three indices (EUS, LSM and VTQ) had the largest AUROCs (0.947) and the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 0.878 and 0.867, respectively. Conclusion: The combination of EUS, LSM and ARFI had a superior diagnostic value for early stage liver cirrhosis, and may improve the diagnosis rate and reduce the misdiagnosis rate.

Abstract
We report on strong plasmonic coupling from silver nanoparticles covered by hydrogen-terminated chemically vapor deposited single-layer graphene, and its effects on the detection and identification of adenine molecules through surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The high resistivity of the graphene after subjecting to remote plasma hydrogenation allows plasmonic coupling induced strong local electromagnetic fields among the silver nanoparticles to penetrate the graphene, and thus enhances the SERS efficiency of adenine molecules adsorbed on the film. The graphene layer protects the nanoparticles from reactive and harsh environments and provides a chemically inert and biocompatible carbon surface for SERS applications.

Abstract
We performed a positron emission tomography study, using regional cerebral blood flow as the index of brain activity, to address the specificity of brain activation pattern by acupuncture stimulation of short duration at the classical analgesic point. Needling manipulation at 2 Hz was performed at a classical point of prominent analgesic efficacy (Li 4, Heku) and a near-by non-classical/non-analgesic point, respectively, in normal subjects. Regions activated by acupuncture stimulation at Li 4 included the hypothalamus with an extension to midbrain, the insula, the anterior cingulate cortex, and the cerebellum. Of note, it was only the stimulation at Li 4 that activated the hypothalamus under the similar psychophysical ratings of acupuncture sensation (deqi) as elicited by the stimulation at the two points, respectively. The data suggested that the hypothalamus might characterize the central expression of acupuncture stimulation at the classical analgesic point and serve as one key element in mediating analgesic efficacy of acupuncture stimulation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether impaired aggregation of platelets from Japanese Black cattle with Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) was attributable to mobilization of cytosolic Ca2+. ANIMALS 4 healthy Japanese Black cattle and 3 Japanese Black cattle with CHS. PROCEDURE Aggregation and mobilization of cytosolic Ca2+ in response to various receptor agonists was measured in platelets from healthy cattle and cattle with CHS. Involvement of endogenous ADP and arachidonic acid in collagen-induced responses was examined. Cytosolic Ca2+ concentration was measured after platelets were loaded with the Ca2+ indicator fura-PE3. Platelet aggregation was measured with an aggregometer. RESULTS Collagen (3 to 15 micrograms/ml)-induced increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration and aggregation were markedly impaired for platelets from cattle with CHS, compared with values for platelets from healthy cattle. Although aggregation and the sustained phase of the cytosolic Ca2+ response to ADP were also decreased in platelets from cattle with CHS, these decreases were small, compared with those in response to collagen. A cyclooxygenase inhibitor and a phospholipase A2 inhibitor did not have any effect on peak cytosolic Ca2+ concentration or collagen-induced aggregation of platelets from healthy cattle. Responses to a P2 tau-purinoceptor antagonist suggested that decreased release of endogenous ADP was only partially involved in the impaired response to collagen among platelets from cattle with CHS. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Marked inhibition of collagen-induced Ca2+ mobilization, rather than decreased release of endogenous substances, appeared to be the major cause of impaired platelet response to collagen and the hemorrhagic tendency in cattle with CHS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize Chediak-Higashi syndrome (C-HS) in Japanese Black cattle. ANIMALS 56 of 200 cattle with a bleeding disorder and giant granules in leukocytes. PROCEDURE Clinical observation, CBC, hemostatic screening test, platelet aggregometry, electron microscopy, platelet constituent analysis, and ophthalmoscopic examination were done. RESULTS Affected Japanese Black cattle had increased bleeding tendency and abnormal granules in their leukocytes. Susceptibility to infection was not increased. Cutaneous albinism was evident in 6 new-born calves, but not in most affected cattle. In all affected cattle, the tapetal fundus was pale and the nontapetal fundus was almost devoid of pigment. By electron microscopy, a remarkable decrease in the number of dense granules in platelets was observed. Functionally, collagen-induced platelet aggregation was markedly reduced. CONCLUSIONS This bleeding disorder was diagnosed as C-HS. With regard to susceptibility to infection, albinism, and mortality, clinical manifestations of C-HS in Japanese Black cattle were moderate, compared with C-HS in human beings and Hereford cattle. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Because an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance was documented and recessive homozygotes could be easily detected, C-HS in Japanese Black cattle can be controlled.

Abstract
Fifty-six Japanese black cattle affected with Chediak-Higashi syndrome (C-HS) have been referred to Miyazaki University Veterinary Teaching Hospital during the past 12 years, and 44 pedigree records were collected. In pedigree analysis, the parents had no clinical sign, the affected dams had clinically normal calves, and approximately equal numbers of males and females were affected, we therefore considered this syndrome to be an autosomal recessive trait. Quantitative genetic analyses were then made in a restricted area. Segregation analysis by the a priori method in 8 families showed that C-HS was a simple autosomal recessive trait. Furthermore, 36 dams and their 257 offspring (including 8 C-HS affected cattle) were analyzed using population genetics in the same area. The result was the same as in the former analysis.

Abstract
The goal of operative treatment of ankle fracture are to obtain an anatomical reduction and rigid fixation to ensure a healed fracture and normally functioning recovery. Irreducible ankle fracture or fracture-dislocation is seldom encountered in clinical practice. Two cases of irreducible ankle fractures are presented. They are different from previous cases reported in the literature. During operation we recognized that the extensor tendons were entrapped in the distal tibiofibular joint under the extensor retinaculum. The reducible ankle fractures reported in the literature, together with the two cases in this report, are classified into three categories. Type I is a medial malleolar fracture with deltoid ligament or posterior tibialis tendon interposition. Type II is an irreducible fracture dislocation of the ankle due to posterior dislocation of the fibula. Type III is a diastatic ankle fracture with extensor tendons entrapped in the distal tibiofibular joint and restricted by extensor retinaculum. The mechanism of the irreducible ankle fracture is discussed and correlated with Lauge-Hansen classification and mechanism.
