Abstract
Introduction Isolated dislocations of the fifth carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) are uncommon injuries of the hand that is often missed but can be diagnosed correctly with a high index of suspicion and adequate imaging. Treatment for chronic cases is usually open reduction with temporary fixation using Kirschner wires, but for this case, we used Mini TightRope® as well to allow for early finger exercise. The case presented here is unique because of a delayed dislocation of a CMCJ detected 9 weeks from initial injury which was treated with a novel form of fixation with Mini TightRope®. Case Report A 70-year-old, right-hand dominant, male farmer injured his left hand when he slipped and fell on a concrete surface, landing on the ulnar side of his left hand. He was immediately seen in the clinic, just with a swollen left hand but no obvious deformity and with apparently normal PA and oblique radiographs of the hand. Nine weeks later, he came back due to persistent ulnar-sided hand pain; repeat radiographs and a CT scan of the left hand showed ulno-palmar dislocation of the fifth CMCJ. He then underwent trial closed reduction of the 5th CMCJ dislocation but failed. Open reduction, temporary K-wire fixation, and fixation using Mini TightRope® through the 4th and 5th metacarpals were done. A full range of motion of the hand was allowed immediately post-operative. Reduction was maintained and no complications were noted on subsequent follow-up visits. Conclusion This paper presents a brief literature review on 5th CMCJ dislocation, discussing the anatomic considerations contributing to joint stability, helpful radiographic parameters for diagnosis, and enumeration of treatment options.

Abstract
Background: Endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) is a less invasive procedure but has a higher risk of complications. We analysed ECTR cases dividing them into three periods according to a single surgeon's experience when the ECTR was performed: the initial, midterm and late period. Cases of iatrogenically induced median nerve injuries that occurred after ECTR were then noted and evaluated. Methods: We reviewed 195 ECTRs done with the 2-portal technique and divided the patients into three groups according to periods of when ECTR was done. The indications for ECTR surgery were limited to severe CTS cases. These groups of patients were similar in terms of age, duration of disease, electrophysiological study results and severity of the disease. The patients were evaluated for median neuropathy pre- and postoperatively using Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test (SWT), Disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) Score, Coin-flip test (CFT), postoperative paraesthesias and complications, such as pillar pain, and so on. Electrophysiological evaluation was performed only preoperatively. Results: Postoperative median nerve recovery was overall good. Normal recovery was noted in 181 cases (93%). SWT, DASH and CFT were all significantly improved upon follow-up in all three groups. In terms of iatrogenic neuropathy, median nerve palsy worsened (including those transiently worsened) after ECTR in 11 cases (5.6%), even in the later period. The sensory disturbance was equally worsening from the radial to the ulnar side. Conclusions: The fact that there were neurologically worsened cases even in the later period, when the operator is higher skilled in the technique, suggests that the surgical technique itself may be the one posing higher risk than the level of surgical skill. The most likely causes of aggravated nerve palsy were a direct injury by cannula insertion at the proximal portal, or additional median nerve compression during cannula insertion into the carpal tunnel. Level of Evidence: Level IV (Therapeutic).

Abstract
Intraneural ganglia are rare, benign cysts that form within the epineurium of the affected nerve. Patients present with features of compressive neuropathy, including numbness. We report a 74-year-old male patient with pain and numbness on his right thumb of 1-year duration. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic lesion with a possible scaphotrapezium-trapezoid joint connection. The articular branch was not identified during the surgery and decompression with excision of the cyst wall was done. A recurrence of the mass was noted 3 years later, but the patient was asymptomatic and no additional intervention was done. Decompression alone can relieve the symptoms of an intraneural ganglion, but excision of the articular branch may be essential in preventing its recurrence. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic).

Abstract
Painful ganglion cysts that develop in the hallux and finger usually enlarge progressively to the peripheral direction. Simple resection of satellite ganglion cyst alone has been reported to cause a high rate of recurrence and treatment is often very difficult. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the appropriate surgical treatment for painful satellite ganglion cysts in the hallux and finger and discuss the origin of the ganglion cysts in cases treated surgically at our hospital. We reviewed five cases (three males and two females, ages 55-87 years), three of which occurred in the hallux and two in the finger. In all cases, the preoperative magnetic resonance image showed a large fluid of the flexor tendon sheath. And also, joint effusion was found in the metatarsophalangeal joint and the proximal interphalangeal joint. The first case of the hallux ganglion underwent simple excision of the cyst and had recurrences three times. In the other four cases, the additional synovectomy of the metatarsophalangeal joint and the proximal interphalangeal joint was performed along with ganglion cyst excision. These cases had no recurrence up to 1 year after operation. Recently, there have been reports that tendon sheath ganglions are connected to the ankle, wrist, hallux, and phalangeal joints. Although there are a few cases in our department, satellite ganglion cyst of the hallux and finger possibly originates from adjacent joints. Additional synovectomy of the affected joint should be performed for the excision of satellite ganglion cyst to prevent recurrence.

Abstract
Introduction
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is the main cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). LVDD is related not only to arterial stiffness but also sympathetic nerve activity (SNA). Recent study demonstrated that increased muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) may be one of contributing factor for arterial stiffness. In clinical practice, Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) provides a reproducible index of arterial stiffness, independent of blood pressure (BP). Recently, Arterial Velocity pulse Index (AVI), which is an index of arterial reflected waves, have been proposed as new index of arterial stiffness. We reported that AVI was associated with MSNA in hypertensive (HT) patients. However, it is still uncertain the effect of LVDD on the association between AVI and SNA in HT patients. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that AVI would be increased and related to MSNA in HT patients with LVDD.
Methods
Patients with essential HT subjects were included in this study. HT was diagnosed as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90mmHg. Patients with secondary HT was excluded. AVI was measured from left upper arm by NAS-1000 (Nihon Koden, Japan). CAVI was measured by VaSera VS-1500A (Fukuda Denshi, Japan). Transthoracic echocardiography was performed by trained sonographers. SNA was evaluated by direct recording of MSNA from peroneal nerves.
Results
25 HT patients were included (age 63±14 years, Male/Female 9/16). They were divided into two groups according to E/e' (no LVDD group, E/e' ≤9, N=12; LVDD group, E/e' >9, N=13). There were no significant differences between no LVDD and LVDD groups in age (63±9 vs 69±9 years p=0.205), body mass index (23±3 vs 24±4 p=0.355), BP (SBP 139±16 vs 144±20mmHg p=0.524, DBP 87±15 vs 78±14mmHg p=0.167). LV Ejection Fraction (EF) and Stroke Volume (SV) did not differ between two groups (EF 66±7 vs 69±6% p=0.471, SV 58±7 vs 62±14ml p=0.599). MSNA had tendency to increase in LVDD group compared to no LVDD group (MSNA 53±10 vs 44±12 bursts/100 heartbeats, p=0.052). Contrary to our hypothesis, AVI and CAVI did not differ between two groups (AVI 27±7 vs 29±7 p=0.398, CAVI 8.7±1.4 vs 8.6±1.4 p=0.894). However, a significant correlation was seen between AVI and MSNA in no LVDD group (r=0.57, p<0.05), but no correlation in LVDD group. There is no correlation between CAVI and MSNA in no LVDD and LVDD group. Significant relationship was observed between AVI and CAVI in LVDD group (r=0.61, p<0.05), but no relationship in no LVDD group.
Conclusion
AVI was significantly associated with MSNA in HT patients without LVDD, but not with LVDD. CAVI was related to AVI in HT patients with LVDD, but not without LVDD. MSNA was slightly increased in HT patients with LVDD compared to without LVDD. These results indicate that augmented SNA could contribute to the increase in arterial stiffness in HT patients without LVDD, however, this contribution might be attenuated in HT patients with LVDD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) improves left ventricular function and induces left atrium reverse remodeling (LARR). CA is also associated with the modulation of ganglionated plexi in the left atrium (LA), including stretch-sensitive sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve mechanoreceptors. Increased filling pressure and enlargement of LA stimulate stretch-sensitive sympathetic nerve mechanoreceptors in heart failure, which contribute augmented sympathetic nerve activity. However, little is known about an effect of CA on the interaction between the changes of LARR and sympathetic nerve activity.
Purpose
To test the hypothesis that CA induce the reduction in sympathetic nerve activity in accordance with LARR in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Methods
This study was conducted as a retrospective, observational study. Twenty-eight AF patients (65.4±12.1 years old) were included in this study. We measured mean blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), and direct recording of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) using microneurography technique before and 12 weeks after CA. Echocardiogram was also performed to assess LARR and left ventricular function. To evaluate the interaction between LARR and MSNA, AF patients were divided into two groups by presence (LARR group; n=18) and absence (no LARR group; n=10) of LARR according to left atrium volume index (LAVi) following CA.
Results
No significant differences were observed at baseline in BP, MSNA and LAVi between two groups. BP did not change significantly after CA in both groups. HR significantly increased in the LARR group (63.1±5.7 vs 69.9±7.8, p<0.01) compared to no LARR group. CA significantly reduced MSNA in the LARR group (37.8±10.1 vs 24.9±8.8 bursts/min, p<0.01), but there was no significant change in the no LARR group. The septal E/e' ratio (11.3±3.8 vs 9.8±2.9, p<0.05), left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVi) (24.4±11.9 vs 19.6±7.8 ml/m2, p<0.05) and Ln BNP (4.0±1.2 vs 3.3±1.0 log/pg/ml, p<0.05) were also significantly improved in the LARR group. On the other hand, in the no LARR group, there were no significancy in the changes of the septal E/e' ratio, LVESVi and Ln BNP. LVEF was not significantly changed in both two groups.
Conclusion
Our study shows CA reduced MSNA accompanied by LARR in AF patients. The reduction in MSNA, septal E/e' ratio, LVESVi and Ln BNP were all more pronounced in the LARR group compared to the no LARR group. These findings suggest that LARR is associated with the reduction in MSNA in AF patients, which was attributed to CA-induced modulation of stretch-sensitive sympathetic nerve mechanoreceptors.

Abstract
Background
Increased arterial stiffness characterize by aging. It is reported that age-related increases in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) may be one of contributing factor for arterial stiffness. Arterial reflected wave was composed of SNA and aging. Increased arterial reflected wave partly plays an important role in blood pressure. Recently, we reported that arterial velocity pulse index (AVI), a novel index of arterial reflected waves, was associated with MSNA in hypertensive patients. It is still uncertain the effect of age on the association between AVI and SNA in hypertensive patients.
Method
Patients with essential HT and matched non-hypertensive control subjects were included in this study. HT was diagnosed as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg. AVI was measured from left upper arm by NAS-1000. SNA was evaluated by direct recording of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) from peroneal nerves.
Results
45 HT patients and 46 control subjects were included. Age, SBP and DBP were significantly increased in HT group compared to control (Age 63±14 vs 42±16 years, p<0.001; SBP 144±16 vs 115±9 mmHg, p<0.001; DBP 80±14 vs 67±9 mmHg, p<0.001). MSNA and AVI were significantly increased in HT group compared to control (MSNA 34±10 vs 25±8 bursts/min, p<0.05; AVI 28±9 vs 17±5, p<0.05). AVI was significantly correlated with MSNA, age, and SBP in HT group. HT group was divided into two groups according to their age (group 1, age ≤63 N=21, group 2, age ≥64 N=26). AVI in group 1 showed correlation with MSNA (r=0.59, p<0.05), but no correlation was seen in group 2. However excluded SBP>160 mmHg subjects in group 2, significant correlation was clarified between AVI and MSNA (r=0.62, p<0.05).
Conclusion
The relationship between AVI and MSNA in HT patients is preserved regardless of aging, however, high blood pressure over 160mmHg might obscure its correlation. These results indicate that AVI is useful to estimate sympathetic nerve activity in high aging HT patient treated <160 blood pressure.

Abstract
We report observations of gamma-ray emissions with energies in the 100-TeV energy region from the Cygnus region in our Galaxy. Two sources are significantly detected in the directions of the Cygnus OB1 and OB2 associations. Based on their positional coincidences, we associate one with a pulsar PSR J2032+4127 and the other mainly with a pulsar wind nebula PWN G75.2+0.1, with the pulsar moving away from its original birthplace situated around the centroid of the observed gamma-ray emission. This work would stimulate further studies of particle acceleration mechanisms at these gamma-ray sources.

Abstract
We report, for the first time, the long-awaited detection of diffuse gamma rays with energies between 100 TeV and 1 PeV in the Galactic disk. Particularly, all gamma rays above 398 TeV are observed apart from known TeV gamma-ray sources and compatible with expectations from the hadronic emission scenario in which gamma rays originate from the decay of π^{0}'s produced through the interaction of protons with the interstellar medium in the Galaxy. This is strong evidence that cosmic rays are accelerated beyond PeV energies in our Galaxy and spread over the Galactic disk.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Arterial reflected wave is determined by not only atherosclerosis but also sympathetic nerve activity. Recently, Arterial Velocity pulse Index (AVI), which is an index of arterial reflected waves, and Arterial Pressure volume Index (API), which is an index of volume of a conductive blood vessel, have been proposed as new index of arterial stiffness. However, it is unclear whether API and AVI would be associated with muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in hypertensive subjects.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between AVI, API and MSNA in hypertensive subjects.
Method
41 hypertensive patients and 40 non-hypertensive subjects were included in this study. We performed a cross-sectional, observational study. Hypertension (HT) was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg or medical treatment for HT. AVI and API was measured by NAS-1000 (Nihon Koden, Japan). MSNA, central sympathetic outflow to peripheral muscle, was recorded directly from peroneal nerve. MSNA was expressed by burst frequency (bursts/minute) and burst incidence (bursts/100heartbeats). Blood pressure, heart rate and MSNA were recorded simultaneously.
Results
Age, systolic and diastolic pressure were significantly higher in hypertensive patients compared to control (40±15 vs 61±13 years, p<0.001; 142±16 vs 113±9 mmHg, p<0.001; 81±14 vs 67±9 mmHg, p<0.001). MSNA and AVI were significantly augmented in hypertensive patients compared to control (34±11 vs. 23±6 bursts/min, p<0.05; 26±7 vs. 16±4, p<0.05). AVI was correlated with MSNA in each group (hypertension: r=0.59, P<0.001, non-hypertension: r=0.51, p<0.001). However, no correlation was shown between API and MSNA in each group (hypertension: r=0.22, p=0.15, non-hypertension: r=0.07, p=0.63). Multiple regression analysis also showed MSNA was significantly related with AVI but was not with API.
Conclusion
Our finding showed that AVI relates to MSNA independent of API in patients with hypertension. It suggested that Novel index of arterial reflected waves, AVI, is helpful to estimate augmented SNA in hypertensive subjects regardless of volume of a conductive blood vessel.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Augmented sympathetic nerve activity plays an important role in the progressive worsening disease severity. Most of anti-diabetic drugs were demonstrated to not only decrease blood glucose, but also increase sympathetic nerve activity. Recently, it has been reported that sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor has beneficial effects on cardiovascular events in spite of the decrease in blood glucose in type 2 DM patients. The underlying mechanisms remain speculative; however, it is assumed that SGLT2 inhibitor would improve sympathetic nerve activity in type 2 DM patients.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitor on sympathetic nerve activity in type 2 DM patients.
Methods
This study was designed as the prospective single-arm study. Type2 DM patients whose HbA1c >7.0% with at least one atherosclerotic risk factors (Hypertension, obesity, smoking history, aging ...) were included. Patients who had renal failure (eGFR<45ml/min/1.73m2) or high age patients (>80 years old) were excluded. We measured blood glucose, HbA1c and blood insulin concentration at baseline and 12 weeks after treatment of dapagliflozin (5mg/day). Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) was applied to scrutinize accurate sympathetic nerve activity in type 2 DM patients. Also, baroreflex sensitivity was calculated by examining the relationship between MSNA and beat to beat diastolic blood pressure.
Results
Eleven type2 DM patients were included in this study. Body mass index, blood pressure, HbA1c and blood insulin concentration tended to decrease at 12weeks after dapagliflozin (body mass index: 27.2±6.3 vs. 24.9±3.2 kg/m2. systolic blood pressure: 121±12.3 vs. 118±13.6 mmHg. diastolic blood pressure: 74.3±6.3 vs. 72.5±7.6 mmHg. HbA1c: 7.6±0.3 vs. 7.2±0.7%. insulin: 9.7±7.2 vs. 8.8±5.1 μU/ml). Dapagliflozin significantly decrease MSNA and heart rate compared to baseline (46.7±7.5 vs. 38.6±6.9 bursts/minute, P<0.05. Heart rate: 80.6±8.5 vs. 72.8±7.4 beats per minute, P<0.05). However, there is no interaction between the reduction in MSNA and baroreflex sensitivity or insulin resistance.
12 weeks administration decreased MSNA
Conclusion
Our data demonstrated that dapagliflozin significantly decreased MSNA and HR beyond the lowering effect of blood glucose in type2 DM patients. These results indicate the favorable effect of SGLT2 inhibitor might be, in part, attributed to the improvement in sympathetic nerve activity.

Abstract
We report on the highest energy photons from the Crab Nebula observed by the Tibet air shower array with the underground water-Cherenkov-type muon detector array. Based on the criterion of a muon number measured in an air shower, we successfully suppress 99.92% of the cosmic-ray background events with energies E>100 TeV. As a result, we observed 24 photonlike events with E>100 TeV against 5.5 background events, which corresponds to a 5.6σ statistical significance. This is the first detection of photons with E>100 TeV from an astrophysical source.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Reliable preoperative facial nerve mapping may help avoid or minimize facial nerve injury during parotid tumor resection. The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of the 3D double-echo steady-state with water excitation sequence in localizing parotid gland tumors through direct visualization of the intraparotid facial nerve in comparison with indirect methods of estimating the facial nerve location. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 91 parotid gland tumors in 90 patients who underwent surgical resection and preoperative MR imaging, including the 3D double-echo steady-state with water excitation sequence. The tumor locations were categorized as deep or superficial on the basis of direct and 3 indirect methods: the facial nerve line, retromandibular vein, and Utrecht line. Surgical localization was considered the criterion standard. The diagnostic performance for localizing deep lobe lesions using direct and indirect methods was calculated and compared using the McNemar test. RESULTS Surgical localization confirmed 75 superficial lesions and 16 deep lesions. The interobserver variability of the 3D double-echo steady-state with water excitation sequence was excellent (κ = 0.870). The diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for localizing deep lobe lesions using the 3D double-echo steady-state with water excitation method were 97.8%, 87.5%, 100%, 100%, and 97.4%, respectively. These findings were significantly higher than the facial nerve line in sensitivity, the retromandibular vein in sensitivity, and the Utrecht line in accuracy and specificity (P < .05). Overall, the direct method was the most accurate, sensitive, and specific in localizing parotid gland tumors. CONCLUSIONS We can achieve higher diagnostic performance in localizing parotid gland tumors by directly visualizing the intraparotid facial nerve using the 3D double-echo steady-state with water excitation sequence compared with indirect methods.

Abstract
We have upgraded the new Tibet ASgamma experiment in China since 2014 to measure the chemical composition of cosmic rays around the knee. This hybrid experiment consist of an air-shower-core detector array (YAC-II) to detect high energy electromagnetic component, the Tibet air-shower array (Tibet-III) and a large underground water-Cherenkov muon-detector array (MD). We have carried out a detailed air-shower Monte Carlo (MC) simulation to study the performance of the hybrid detectors by using CORSIKA (version 7.5000), which includes EPOS-LHC, QGSJETII-04, SIBYLL2.1 and SIBYLL2.3 hadronic interaction models. The preliminary results of the interaction model checking above 50 TeV energy region are reported in this paper, and the primary proton and helium spectra in the energy range 50 TeV to 1015 eV was derived from YAC-I data and is smoothly connected with direct observation data at lower energies and also with our previously reported works at higher energies within statistical errors. The knee of the (P+He) spectra is located around 400 TeV. The interaction model dependence in deriving the primary (P+He) spectra is found to be small (less than 25% in absolute intensity, 10% in position of the knee), and the composition model dependence is less than 10% in absolute intensity.

Abstract
A hybrid experiment has been started by the ASγ experiment at Yangbajing (4300m a.s.l.) in Tibet since May 2009, that consists of a high-energy air-shower-core array (YAC-I) and a high-density air-shower array (Tibet-III). In this paper, we report our results to check the hadronic interaction models SIBYLL2.3, SIBYLL2.1, EPOS-LHC and QGSJETII-04 in the multi-tens TeV energy region using YAC-I+Tibet-III experimental data from May 2009 through January 2010. The effective live time is calculated as 106.05 days. The results show that the description of transverse momentum, inelastic cross-section and inelasticity for the 4 hadronic interaction models is consistent with YAC-I experimental data within 15% systematic errors range in the forward region below 100 TeV. Among them, the EPOS-LHC model is the best hadronic interaction model. Furthermore, we find that the H4a composition model is the best one below the 100 TeV energy region.

Abstract
We analyze the temporal variation of the solar diurnal anisotropy of the multi-TeV cosmic-ray intensity observed with the Tibet air shower array from 2000 to 2009, covering the maximum and minimum of the 23rd solar cycle. We comfirm that a remarkable additional anisotropy component is superposed on the Compton-Getting anisotropy at 4.0 TeV, while its amplitude decreases at higher energy regions. In constrast to the additional anisotropy reported by the Matsushiro experiment at 0.6 TeV, we find the residual component measured by Tibet at multi-TeV energies is consistent with being stable, with a fairly constant amplitude of 0.041% ± 0.003% and a phase at around 07.17 ± 00.16 local solar time at 4.0 TeV. This suggests the additional anisotropy observed by the Tibet experiment could result from mechanisms unrelated to solar activities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastasis is a frequent cause of death in patients with gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to identify molecules responsible for mediating peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. METHODS Transcriptome and bioinformatics analyses were conducted to identify molecules associated with peritoneal metastasis. The therapeutic effects of intraperitoneally administered small interfering (si) RNA were evaluated using mouse xenograft models. Expression of mRNA and protein was determined in gastric tissues from patients with gastric cancer. RESULTS Synaptotagmin XIII (SYT13) was expressed at significantly higher levels in patients with peritoneal recurrence, but not in those with hepatic or distant lymph node recurrence. Inhibition of SYT13 expression in a gastric cancer cell line transfected with SYT13-specific siRNA (siSYT13) was associated with decreased invasion and migration ability of the cells, but not with proliferation and apoptosis. Intraperitoneal administration of siSYT13 significantly inhibited the growth of peritoneal nodules and prolonged survival in mice. In an analysis of 200 patients with gastric cancer, SYT13 expression in primary gastric cancer tissues was significantly greater in patients with peritoneal recurrence or metastasis. A high level of SYT13 expression in primary gastric cancer tissues was an independent risk factor for peritoneal recurrence. CONCLUSION SYT13 expression in gastric cancer is associated with perioneal metatases and is a potential target for treatment.

Abstract
We analyze the Sun's shadow observed with the Tibet-III air shower array and find that the shadow's center deviates northward (southward) from the optical solar disk center in the "away" ("toward") interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) sector. By comparing with numerical simulations based on the solar magnetic field model, we find that the average IMF strength in the away (toward) sector is 1.54±0.21_{stat}±0.20_{syst} (1.62±0.15_{stat}±0.22_{syst}) times larger than the model prediction. These demonstrate that the observed Sun's shadow is a useful tool for the quantitative evaluation of the average solar magnetic field.

Abstract
Streptozotocin (STZ), a naturally occurring chemical, is toxic to the various kinds of cells such as insulin-producing beta cells. However, the beneficial effect of STZ on neuronal cells such as neurite outgrowth-inducing activity has been unknown. In this study, we examined the effect of STZ on neurite outgrowth in mouse neuronal Neuro2a cells. STZ (0.01 mM~5 mM) exerted remarkable neurite outgrowth-inducing activity in Neuro2a cells in a concentration dependent manner. STZ also had the same neurite outgrowth-inducing activity as that of retinoic acid (RA), which is well known neurite outgrowth inducer. As with the result of RA treatment, STZ administration increased MAP2-positive cells. The MAP2-positive cells reflect neurite outgrowth-induced cells. STZ (0.01 mM~5 mM) did not induce cell death, but significantly decreased cell proliferation. The serine/threonine kinase Akt, a downstream target of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K), was transiently phosphorylated at Ser473 and at Thr303 by STZ (5 mM) administration. Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), which has been reported to be inactivated by Akt, was also transiently phosphorylated at Ser9 by STZ (5 mM) administration. In addition, a blocker of PI3K, LY294002 (10 μM), significantly attenuated STZ-induced neurite outgrowth. These results suggest that STZ induces neurite outgrowth via activation of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and GSK3β inhibition.

Abstract
Despite improvements in surgical techniques, perioperative management, and multidisciplinary therapy, treatment outcomes of patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain poor. Therefore, development of novel molecular biomarkers, which either predict patient survival or become therapeutic targets, is urgently required. In the present study, to facilitate early detection of ESCC and predict its clinical course, we investigated the relationship of the serum level of melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE)-D4 to patients' clinicopathological characteristics. Using quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, we determined the levels of MAGE-D4 mRNA and protein in cell lysates and conditioned medium of cultures, respectively, of nine ESCC cell lines. Further, we determined MAGE-D4 levels in serum samples collected from 44 patients with ESCC who underwent radical esophagectomy without neoadjuvant therapy as well as from 40 healthy volunteers. Samples of conditioned medium and cell lysates contained comparable levels of MAGE-D4 that correlated closely with the levels of MAGE-D4 mRNA. Preoperative MAGE-D4 levels in the sera of 44 patients with ESCC, which varied from 0 to 2,354 pg/mL (314 ± 505 pg/mL, mean ± standard deviation), were significantly higher compared with those of healthy volunteers. By setting the cutoff at the highest value for healthy volunteers (50 pg/mL), the MAGE-D4-positive group of patients was more likely to have shorter disease-specific and disease-free survival compared with those of the MAGE-D4-negative group, although the differences were not statistically significant. Our results indicate that the elevation of preoperative serum MAGE-D4 levels in some patients with ESCC was possibly caused by excess production of MAGE-D4 by tumor cells followed by its release into the circulation. Clinical implications of serum MAGE-D4 levels should be validated in a large population of patients with ESCC.

Abstract
Historically, total pharyngolaryngectomy with total esophagectomy has been the standard radical surgical treatment for synchronous cancer of the thoracoabdominal esophagus and pharyngolaryngeal region, and for cancer of the cervical esophagus that has invaded as far as the thoracic esophagus. Although definitive chemoradiotherapy that enables preservation of the larynx has often been the first choice of treatment for cancers involving the cervical esophagus, total pharyngolaryngectomy with total esophagectomy is required as a salvage therapy for cases involving failure of complete remission or locoregional recurrence after chemoradiotherapy. However, salvage esophageal surgery after definitive high-dose chemoradiotherapy is generally associated with high morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to examine the short-term outcome of salvage total pharyngolaryngectomy with total esophagectomy. From 2001 to 2014, nine patients underwent salvage total pharyngolaryngectomy with total esophagectomy at the Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Nagoya University. The mortality and morbidity rates were high at 22% and 89%, respectively. Four patients (44%) developed tracheal necrosis, which in two patients eventually led to lethal hemorrhage. Salvage total pharyngolaryngectomy with total esophagectomy is an uncommon and highly demanding surgical procedure that should be carefully planned and conducted in selected centers of excellence. Measures must be taken to preserve the tracheal blood supply, thus avoiding fatal complications.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer exhibits the worst prognostic outcome among human cancers. Recently, we have described that depletion of RUNX2 enhances gemcitabine (GEM) sensitivity of p53-deficient pancreatic cancer AsPC-1 cells through the activation of TAp63-mediated cell death pathway. These findings raised a question whether RUNX2 silencing could also improve GEM efficacy on pancreatic cancer cells bearing p53 mutation. In the present study, we have extended our study to p53-mutated pancreatic cancer MiaPaCa-2 cells. Based on our current results, MiaPaCa-2 cells were much more resistant to GEM as compared with p53-proficient pancreatic cancer SW1990 cells, and there existed a clear inverse relationship between the expression levels of TAp73 and RUNX2 in response to GEM. Forced expression of TAp73α in MiaPaCa-2 cells significantly promoted cell cycle arrest and/or cell death, indicating that a large amount of TAp73 might induce cell death even in the presence of mutant p53. Consistent with this notion, overexpression of TAp73α stimulated luciferase activity driven by p53/TAp73-target gene promoters in MiaPaCa-2 cells. Similar to AsPC-1 cells, small interfering RNA-mediated knockdown of RUNX2 remarkably enhanced GEM sensitivity of MiPaCa-2 cells. Under our experimental conditions, TAp73 further accumulated in RUNX2-depleted MiaPaCa-2 cells exposed to GEM relative to GEM-treated non-silencing control cells. As expected, silencing of p73 reduced GEM sensitivity of MiPaCa-2 cells. Moreover, GEM-mediated Tyr phosphorylation level of TAp73 was much more elevated in RUNX2-depleted MiaPaCa-2 cells. Collectively, our present findings strongly suggest that knockdown of RUNX2 contributes to a prominent enhancement of GEM sensitivity of p53-mutated pancreatic cancer cells through the activation of TAp73-mediated cell death pathway, and also provides a promising strategy for the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer bearing p53 mutation.

Abstract
We report a novel and facile self-limiting synthesis route of silicon nanocrystal (Si NC)-based colloidally stable semiconductor-metal (gold, silver and platinum) hybrid nanoparticles (NPs). For the formation of hybrid NPs, we employ ligand-free colloidal Si NCs with heavily boron (B) and phosphorus (P) doped shells. By simply mixing B and P codoped colloidal Si NCs with metal salts, hybrid NPs consisting of metal cores and Si NC shells are spontaneously formed. We demonstrate the synthesis of highly uniform and size controllable hybrid NPs. It is shown that codoped Si NCs act as a reducing agent for metal salts and also as a protecting layer to stop metal NP growth. The process is thus self-limiting. The development of a variety of Si NC-based hybrid NPs is a promising first step for the design of biocompatible multifunctional NPs with broad material choices for biosensing, bioimaging and solar energy conversion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although visualization of the extracranial branches of the cranial nerves has improved with advances in MR imaging, only limited studies have assessed the detection of extracranial branches of the mandibular nerve (V3). We investigated the detectability of the branches of V3 on a 3D double-echo steady-state with water excitation sequence. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the detectability of the 6 branches of the V3, the masseteric, buccal, auriculotemporal, lingual, inferior alveolar, and mylohyoid nerves, by using a 5-point scale (4, excellent; 3, good; 2, fair; 1, poor; and 0, none) in 86 consecutive patients who underwent MR imaging with the 3D double-echo steady-state with water excitation sequence. Weighted κ analysis was used to calculate interobserver variability among the 3 readers. RESULTS The detection of the lingual and inferior alveolar nerves was the most successful, with excellent average scores of 3.80 and 3.99, respectively. The detection of the masseteric, the buccal, and the auriculotemporal nerves was good, with average scores of 3.31, 2.67, and 3.11, respectively. The mylohyoid nerve was difficult to detect with poor average scores of 0.62. All nerves had excellent interobserver variability across the 3 readers (average weighted κ value, 0.95-1.00). CONCLUSIONS The 3D double-echo steady-state with water excitation sequence demonstrated excellent visualization of the extracranial branches of V3 in most patients. The 3D double-echo steady-state with water excitation sequence has the potential for diagnosing V3 pathologies and preoperatively identifying peripheral cranial nerves to prevent surgical complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal lavage cytology (CY) is used in the diagnosis and staging of various cancers. The clinical significance of positive cytology results in patients with pancreatic cancer is yet to be determined. METHODS Peritoneal washing samples were collected from consecutive patients with pancreatic cancer between July 1991 and December 2012. The correlations between cytology results, clinicopathological parameters and recurrence patterns were evaluated. The prognostic impact of CY status, regarding resectability and the effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy, were analysed. RESULTS Of 523 included patients, 390 underwent resection. Patients with tumours at least 2 cm in diameter were more likely to have CY+ status than patients with tumours smaller than 2 cm (48 of 312 versus 3 of 78 respectively; P = 0·005) and there was a significant correlation between CY+ status and tumour invasion of the anterior pancreatic capsule (43 of 276 versus 8 of 113 with no invasion of the capsule; P = 0·030). Although the overall survival of patients with resected CY+ tumours was worse than that of patients with resected CY- tumours, it was significantly better than the survival of unresected patients regardless of CY status. Multivariable analysis of all patients who had pancreatectomy did not identify CY+ as an independent prognostic factor. Patients with CY+ tumours tended to develop peritoneal metastasis more often than those with CY- tumours, although not significantly so. The median survival time of 34 patients with resected CY+ tumours who received adjuvant chemotherapy was better than that of 17 patients who had surgery alone, although this was not statistically significant (15·3 versus 10·0 months; P = 0·057). CONCLUSION CY+ status is not clinically equivalent to gross peritoneal metastasis in patients with pancreatic cancer. Curative resection is still recommended regardless of CY status.

Abstract
To pursue an urgently needed treatment target for esophageal cancer (EC), we investigated the function of the recently discovered melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE)-D4 in squamous cell EC. MAGE-D4 messenger RNA (mRNA) expression was analyzed in nine EC cell lines using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In 65 surgical specimens of squamous cell EC with no prior neoadjuvant therapy, MAGE-D4 mRNA expression in EC tissues and corresponding normal tissues was analyzed and compared, and evaluated in terms of clinicopathological factors. In representative cases, MAGE-D4 protein distribution was analyzed immunohistochemically. The heterogeneity of MAGE-D4 mRNA expression was confirmed in EC cell lines by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In surgical specimens, MAGE-D4 mRNA expression was significantly higher in EC tissues than in corresponding normal tissues (P < 0.001). Patients with the highest MAGE-D4 mRNA expression in EC tissues (top quartile, n = 17) had significantly shorter overall survival than patients with low expression (2-year survival: 44% and 73%, respectively, P = 0.006). Univariate analysis identified age (≥65 years), lymphatic involvement, and high MAGE-D4 mRNA expression as significant prognostic factors; high MAGE-D4 mRNA expression was also an independent prognostic factor in multivariable analysis (hazard ratio: 2.194; P = 0.039) and was significantly associated with Brinkman index (P = 0.008) and preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen level (P = 0.002). Immunohistochemical MAGE-D4b expression was consistent with MAGE-D4 mRNA profiling. Our results suggest that MAGE-D4 overexpression influences tumor progression, and MADE-D4 can be a prognostic marker and a potential molecular target in squamous cell EC.

Abstract
We report on a clear solar-cycle variation of the Sun’s shadow in the 10 TeV cosmic-ray flux observed by the Tibet air shower array during a full solar cycle from 1996 to 2009. In order to clarify the physical implications of the observed solar cycle variation, we develop numerical simulations of the Sun’s shadow, using the potential field source surface model and the current sheet source surface (CSSS) model for the coronal magnetic field. We find that the intensity deficit in the simulated Sun’s shadow is very sensitive to the coronal magnetic field structure, and the observed variation of the Sun’s shadow is better reproduced by the CSSS model. This is the first successful attempt to evaluate the coronal magnetic field models by using the Sun’s shadow observed in the TeV cosmic-ray flux.

Abstract
Oncolytic viruses are a promising method of cancer therapy, even for advanced malignancies. HF10, a spontaneously mutated herpes simplex type 1, is a potent oncolytic agent. The interaction of oncolytic herpes viruses with the tumor microenvironment has not been well characterized. We injected HF10 into tumors of patients with recurrent breast carcinoma, and sought to determine its effects on the tumor microenvironment. Six patients with recurrent breast cancer were recruited to the study. Tumors were divided into two groups: saline-injected (control) and HF10-injected (treatment). We investigated several parameters including neovascularization (CD31) and tumor lymphocyte infiltration (CD8, CD4), determined by immunohistochemistry, and apoptosis, determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay. Median apoptotic cell count was lower in the treatment group (P=0.016). Angiogenesis was significantly higher in treatment group (P=0.032). Count of CD8-positive lymphocytes infiltrating the tumors was higher in the treatment group (P=0.008). We were unable to determine CD4-positive lymphocyte infiltration. An effective oncolytic viral agent must replicate efficiently in tumor cells, leading to higher viral counts, in order to aid viral penetration. HF10 seems to meet this criterion; furthermore, it induces potent antitumor immunity. The increase in angiogenesis may be due to either viral replication or the inflammatory response.
