Abstract
Bacterial stresses can occur from the production to the distribution environments of produce, and these stresses can lead to nonlethal bacterial damage that is an injured state called sublethally injured bacteria. The damage is mainly due to the disruption of the surface structure and cytoplasmic membrane of the cells. Sublethally sanitizer-injured indicator coliform bacteria injured by chlorine, ethanol, and/or fungicide stress could exhibit on vegetables during production and harvest. Chlorine stress and cold stress could induce sublethally injured indicator and pathogenic coliform bacteria on fresh-cut vegetables during processing and subsequent storage. Enterobacter kobei and Pantoea ananatis injurd by chlorine stress, E. amnigenus, E. asburiae, and E. kobei injured by ethanol stress, and Rahnella aquatilis, Yersinia mollaretii, and Escherichia coli injured by fungicide stress could be amongst the injured cells in the coliforms detected in the produce environments. To ensure the microbiological quality and safety of fresh-cut vegetables, it is necessary to adjust the concentration of sanitizer to a level that kills bacteria and does not produce sanitizer- injured cells when sanitizer is applied to the produce, and also to consider the storage temperature to inhibit the recovery of injured bacteria due to cold injury during the chilling storage period.

Abstract
Shredded cabbage treated with either tap water or electrolyzed water was stored in an active modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of 10% CO2 for 5 d at 10℃, 7 d at 5℃, and 8 d at 1℃ to evaluate the occurrence and viability of sublethally injured coliform bacteria. The CO2 and O2 concentrations in the packages approached an equilibrium of 10% CO2 and 10% O2 during storage at all temperatures tested. Coliforms in shredded cabbage increased during storage at all three temperatures, with the increase being greater at 10℃. Sublethal injury at 65% to 69% for the coliforms was detected only on cabbage samples treated with electrolyzed water and stored at 5℃ for 4 and 7 d. Enterobacter cloacae was one of the injured species of coliform bacteria in shredded cabbage. Shredded cabbage was inoculated with chlorine-injured Escherichia coli O157:H7 and stored at 5℃ for 6 d in an active MAP of 10% CO2. Counts of E. coli O157:H7 remained almost constant during storage, and injured E. coli O157:H7 ranging from 50% to 70% were found on shredded cabbage throughout the storage period. These results indicate that sublethally injured indicator and pathogenic bacteria would be found on fresh-cut cabbage in the realistic MAP storage at 5℃.

Abstract
We initially correlated fluorescent pseudomonads and severity of enzymatic browning on fresh-cut potatoes. Subsequently, we determined the influence of inoculation with Pseudomonas fluorescens following its isolation from the brown tissues on the browning response on fresh-cut potatoes. Bacterial counts on potato slices were higher on browning tissues than on non-browning tissues. P. fluorescens that has been isolated only from the severely browning tissues developed brown discoloration on surface tissues when inoculated onto potato slices. When potato slices were initially inoculated with 103 colony-forming unit (CFU) per mL of P. fluorescens and then stored at 5ºC, bacterial counts, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, phenolic content, and browning severity increased after 3 days of storage. We observed plant PPO derived from potatoes and bacterial PPO released by P. fluorescens and dictated that the plant PPO contributed to browning reactions because only the plant PPO was activated at pH 6-7 that lies in potato tissues. The PPO1 gene that contributed to browning on potatoes was expressed prominently in potato tissues following inoculation with P. fluorescens. These results indicated that P. fluorescens enhanced browning of fresh-cut potatoes by inducing the plant PPO gene, plant PPO activity, and accumulation of phenolics as a biocontrol agent.

Abstract
The occurrence of cryptic species within a threatened taxon is rare, but where they do occur, understanding species boundaries is essential for planning an effective conservation strategy. The short-tailed albatross Phoebastria albatrus is a Vulnerable seabird that mainly breeds on Torishima and the Senkaku Islands in the western North Pacific. Although it has been tacitly regarded as a single management unit with 2 breeding sites, the species is known to comprise 2 genetically separated populations (Senkaku-type and Torishima-type). However, morphological examination of birds from both populations has not been conducted owing to the difficulty in accessing the Senkaku Islands. In this study, we examined the morphological differences between immigrants from the Senkaku Islands to Torishima (Senkaku-type) and native birds on Torishima (Torishima-type) and found significant differences in morphological characteristics between the 2 bird types. In general, Torishima-type birds were larger than Senkaku-type birds, whereas Senkaku-type birds had relatively longer beaks. Based on the morphological differences found in this study as well as genetic and ecological differences revealed in previous studies, we believe that Senkaku- and Torishima-type birds should be classified as different cryptic species. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of cryptic species being identified in a threatened avian species.

Abstract
Viability of chlorine-injured E. coli O157:H7 inoculated onto shredded cabbage was evaluated during storage in air or high CO2 controlled atmospheres (CA) of 5%, 10%, and 15% at 10℃ and in a modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) at 5℃ and 10℃. When shredded cabbage was inoculated with chlorine-injured E. coli O157:H7 (% injury = 65%) and then stored in air or CA at 10℃, counts of E. coli O157:H7 increased during storage and injured E. coli O157:H7 (% injury = 34-66%) were detected on samples throughout the storage regardless of the CO2 atmosphere. When shredded cabbage inoculated with chlorine injured E. coli O157:H7 (% injury = 45-59%) were stored in a MAP using either a high or low oxygen transmission permeability (OTR) package film, the counts of E. coli O157:H7 increased during storage at 10℃ and they remained constant during storage at 5℃. Injured E. coli O157:H7 were detected on shredded cabbage at a 54-56% level in a low OTR film at 10℃ and a 73-74% level in a high OTR film at 5℃. These results indicated that chlorine-injured E. coli O157:H7 inoculated on fresh-cut cabbage exhibited different degrees of injury during storage in a high CO2 CA and MAP at 5℃ or 10℃.

Abstract
Chemical sanitizers may induce no injury (bacteria survive), sublethal injury (bacteria are injured), or lethal injury (bacteria die). The proportion of coliform bacteria that were injured sublethally by chlorine and fungicide mixed with agricultural water (pond water), which was used to dilute the pesticide solution, was evaluated using the thin agar layer (TAL) method. In pure cultures of Enterobacter cloacae , Escherichia coli , and E. coli O157:H7 (representing a human pathogen), the percentage of chlorine-injured cells was 69 to 77% for dilute electrolyzed water containing an available chlorine level of 2 ppm. When agricultural water was mixed with electrolyzed water, the percentage of injured coliforms in agricultural water was 75%. The isolation and identification of bacteria on TAL and selective media suggested that the chlorine stress caused injury to Enterobacter kobei . Of the four fungicide products tested, diluted to their recommended concentrations, Topsin-M, Sumilex, and Oxirane caused injury to coliform bacteria in pure cultures and in agricultural water following their mixture with each pesticide, whereas Streptomycin did not induce any injury to the bacteria. The percentage of injury was 45 to 97% for Topsin-M, 80 to 87% for Sumilex, and 50 to 97% for Oxirane. A comparison of the coliforms isolated from the pesticide solutions and then grown on either TAL or selective media indicated the possibility of fungicide-injured Rahnella aquatilis , Yersinia mollaretii , and E. coli . These results suggest the importance of selecting a suitable sanitizer and the necessity of adjusting the sanitizer concentration to a level that will kill the coliforms rather than cause sanitizer-induced cell injury that can result in the recovery of the coliforms.

Abstract
Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is associated with inflammatory responses and barrier dysfunction in the gut. In this study, we investigated the effect of Bifidobacterium breve M-16V on factors related to NEC development using an experimental rat model. Caesarean-sectioned rats were given formula milk with or without B. breve M-16V by oral gavage thrice daily, and experimental NEC was induced by exposing the rats to hypoxic conditions. Naturally delivered rats that were reared by their mother were used as healthy controls. The pathological score of NEC and the expression of molecules related to inflammatory responses and the barrier function were assessed in the ileum. B. breve M-16V reduced the pathological scores of NEC and resulted in some improvement in survivability. B. breve M-16V suppressed the increased expression of molecules related to inflammation and barrier function that resulted from NEC induction. B. breve M-16V normalised Toll-like receptor (TRL)4 expression and enhanced TLR2 expression.

Abstract
The microflora of fresh-cut produce is comprised primarily of phytopathogenic and soilborne organisms, but the product could be contaminated with foodborne pathogens. Populations of bacteria, molds, and yeasts associated with fresh-cut produce decreased to non-detectable levels following a high pressure (HP) treatment of 400 MPa for 10 min at room temperature, except for spore-forming bacteria such as Bacillus spp. which were inactivated when subjected to 600 MPa at 60 °C for 10 min. The HP treatment of 400 MPa for 5-10 min at room temperature for fresh-cut lotus root and pineapple may be commercially feasible as an alternative to chemical sterilization and thermal blanching, respectively. The HP treatment reduced the epiphytic microorganisms of the products to non-detectable levels, and the microbial counts remained at the initial levels during storage at 1 °C with minimal changes in physicochemical and visual quality of the products. However, the HP treatment induced cellular disruption in plant tissue that contributed to the changes in appearance of several fresh-cut vegetables. To improve storage quality, combining lower pressures with complementary technologies should be useful for successful application of HP for other fresh-cut produce.

Abstract
Recently, possibilities of improving operation speed and force sensitivity in atomic-scale atomic force microscopy (AFM) in liquid using a small cantilever with an electron beam deposited (EBD) tip have been intensively explored. However, the structure and properties of an EBD tip suitable for such an application have not been well-understood and hence its fabrication process has not been established. In this study, we perform atomic-scale AFM measurements with a small cantilever and clarify two major problems: contaminations from a cantilever and tip surface, and insufficient mechanical strength of an EBD tip having a high aspect ratio. To solve these problems, here we propose a fabrication process of an EBD tip, where we attach a 2 μm silica bead at the cantilever end and fabricate a 500-700 nm EBD tip on the bead. The bead height ensures sufficient cantilever-sample distance and enables to suppress long-range interaction between them even with a short EBD tip having high mechanical strength. After the tip fabrication, we coat the whole cantilever and tip surface with Si (30 nm) to prevent the generation of contamination. We perform atomic-scale AFM imaging and hydration force measurements at a mica-water interface using the fabricated tip and demonstrate its applicability to such an atomic-scale application. With a repeated use of the proposed process, we can reuse a small cantilever for atomic-scale measurements for several times. Therefore, the proposed method solves the two major problems and enables the practical use of a small cantilever in atomic-scale studies on various solid-liquid interfacial phenomena.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GalNAc-Ts) family of enzymes regulates the initial steps of mucin-type O-glycosylation. N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases might show novel patterns of GalNAc-T glycosylation on tumour-derived proteins, which could influence cancer biology, but its mechanisms are unclear. We investigated the association of GalNAc-T3 and -T6 expressions with clinicopathological features and prognoses of patients with renal cell carcinomas (RCCs). METHODS Expressions of GalNAc-T3/6 and cell-adhesion molecules were analysed immunohistochemically in 254 paraffin-embedded tumour samples of patients with RCC. RESULTS Of 138 GalNAc-T3+ cases, 46 revealed significant co-expression with GalNAc-T6. N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases-3+ expression showed a close relationship to poor clinical performance and large tumour size, or pathologically high Fuhrman's grading, and presence of vascular invasion and necrosis. The GalNAc-T3-positivity potentially suppressed adhesive effects with a significantly low β-catenin expression. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed the GalNAc-T3+ group, but not the GalNAc-T6+ group, to have significantly worse survival rates. CONCLUSION N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases-3 expression independently predicts high-grade tumour and poor prognosis in patients with RCC, and may offer a therapeutic target against RCC.

Abstract
We previously reported that microRNA (miRNA) is present in human breast milk. Recently, other groups have reported that bovine milk also contains miRNA; however, these reports are few. We therefore investigated bovine milk miRNA using microarray and quantitative PCR analyses to identify the differences between colostrum and mature milk. The RNA concentration in a colostrum whey fraction was higher than that in a mature milk whey fraction. In total, 102 miRNA were detected in bovine milk by microarray analysis (100 in colostrum and 53 in mature milk; 51 were common to both). Among these miRNA, we selected several immune- and development-related miRNA, including miR-15b, miR-27b, miR-34a, miR-106b, miR-130a, miR-155, and miR-223. These miRNA were detected in bovine milk by quantitative PCR, and each of these miRNA was significantly more highly expressed in colostrum than in mature milk. We also confirmed the presence of some mRNA in bovine milk. Nevertheless, synthesized miRNA spiked in the raw milk whey were degraded, and naturally existing miRNA and mRNA in raw milk were resistant to acidic conditions and RNase treatment. The RNA molecules in milk were stable. We also detected miRNA and mRNA in infant formulas purchased from Japanese markets. It is still unknown whether milk-derived RNA molecules play biological roles in infants; however, if milk-derived RNA do show functions in infants, our data will help guide future studies.

Abstract
This study was conducted to elucidate the prognostic significance of BAF57 in patients with endometrial carcinoma. We investigated the relationship between the immunohistochemical expression of BAF57 and various clinicopathological variables in 111 endometrial carcinomas. Both univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed. The correlations between the BAF57 expression and the other variables including estrogen receptor (ER) and p53 were examined. The high nuclear BAF57 expression was detected in 42 (37.8%) endometrial carcinomas, and 69 (62.2%) endometrial carcinomas were defined as having low nuclear BAF57 expression. The BAF57 expression was significantly associated with the surgical stage, grade of the tumor, myometrial invasion, lympho-vascular space invasion (LVSI) and lymph node metastasis. The 10-year overall survival rates of patients with low and high BAF57 expression were 96.9% and 58.2%, respectively (p<0.001). A multivariate analysis identified BAF57 expression as an independent prognostic factor. The BAF57 expression was significantly correlated with p53 expression (r=0.312, P=0.001), but was not correlated with ER expression (r= -0.141, P=0.14). The high BAF57 expression is an independent marker of poor prognosis of the patients in endometrial carcinomas. The inhibition of BAF57 activity may be one of the candidates for endometrial cancer therapy, especially therapy for aggressive tumors showing overexpression of p53.

Abstract
Y-box binding protein-1 (YB-1) plays an important role in tumor progression and drug resistance. This study examined whether YB-1 is involved in the alteration of response to endocrine therapy in ER-positive breast cancer cells. MCF7 cells that stably expressed YB-1 (MCF7-YB-1) and vector control cells (MCF7-vector) were established. These cells were used to analyze the expression of the factors related to the ER and growth factor receptor signaling pathways, response to the antiestrogens (tamoxifen and fulvestrant), and estrogen responsive element (ERE) activity. The effect of knocking down endogenous YB-1 expression was tested in wild-type MCF7 cells. In addition, the expression of the YB-1 and the factors related to the ER and growth factor receptor signaling pathways were evaluated in the clinical breast cancers treated with preoperative chemotherapy. The expression of HER2, AIB1, p-Erk and c-Myc were increased in the MCF7-YB-1 cells. In contrast, knocking down of YB-1 decreased the expression of these factors, but increased the expression of ERα in the wild-type MCF7 cells. Furthermore, sensitivity to antiestrogens was decreased in the MCF7-YB-1 in comparison to those in the MCF7-vector cells. In the MCF7-YB-1 cells, the expression levels of p-Erk and c-Myc were continuously upregulated when the cells were treated either with tamoxifen or fulvestrant. The ERE activity was decreased in the MCF7-YB-1 cells in comparison to the MCF7-vector cells, and the ERE activity of the MCF7-YB-1 cells was inhibited by fulvestrant at a lower concentration than that which inhibited the ERE activity of the MCF7-vector cells. In the ER-positive clinical breast cancers treated with preoperative chemotherapy, significantly more of the specimens that showed increased or positive nuclear YB-1 expression after the chemotherapy were positive for HER2 expression. These data suggest that alteration of YB-1 may modify the crosstalk between the ER pathway and HER2 pathway in ER-positive breast cancer cells, and consequently may alter the response to endocrine therapy in these cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The family of polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GalNAc-Ts) is responsible for the altered glycosylation in cancer. The purpose of our study was to investigate the clinical significance of two isoforms, GalNAc-T6 and -T3, and their correlation with the prognosis of pancreatic cancer. METHODS Immunohistochemistry was used to analyse GalNAc-T6 and -T3 expressions in 70 clinicopathologically characterised pancreatic cancer cases. RESULTS Positive expressions of GalNAc-T6 and -T3 were immunohistochemically identified in 51% (36 of 70) and in 77% (54 of 70) of patients, respectively. A close relationship was noted between GalNAc-T6 positive expression and pathological well/moderate differentiated type (P=0.001), small tumour size (P=0.044), absence of vascular invasion (P=0.009), and low stage of the American Joint Committee on Cancer systems (P=0.043). The expression of GalNAc-T3 significantly correlated with good differentiation (P=0.001), but not with other clinicopathologic features. Furthermore, univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that GalNAc-T6 expression was an independent prognosis indicator for the disease, whereas GalNAc-T3 expression had no impact on clinical outcome, even though 33 of 36 GalNAc-T6-positive cases also had a positive expression of GalNAc-T3 (P=0.001, r=0.356). CONCLUSION Both GalNAc-T6 and -T3 expressions correlated significantly with tumour differentiation, whereas only GalNAc-T6 expression predicted prognosis in pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
From May 2005 to October 2010. 9 patients with severe emphysematous bullae suffered from uncontrolled pneumothorax had been successfully treated by a new surgical method in our hospital. By using direct instillation of fibrin glue into the ruptured bulla following ligation of the ruptured bulla hole, 8 of 9 patients revealed no recurrence of new rupture and pneumothorax. Although the ligation of ruptured bulla hole tended to increase tension of surface of the bulla around the ligation and caused new rupture of the bulla, the fully instilled glue reduced intra air pressure of the ligated bulla and prevented new rupture. Additionally, the direct instillation of the glue immediately stopped the air leakage by itself. This direct instillation method of the glue encouraged us to challenge the surgery for the patients suffered from uncontrolled pneumothorax with severe emphysematous bullae.

Abstract
Bacterial flora of cabbage were identified and enumerated during various stages of growth, and the potential sources of contamination in the field were determined. Bacterial counts increased from below the level of detection (2.4 log CFU/g) on seeds to 2.5 to 5.7 log CFU/g on seedlings. After transplanting, the counts of mesophilic aerobic bacteria on leaves decreased and then increased to 5.7 log CFU/g on outer leaves, 5.0 log CFU/g on middle leaves, and 3.0 log CFU/g on inner leaves at the harvesting stage. Counts of coliforms were below the level of detection during the growing period of the leaves. Bacteria isolated from cabbage seeds, seedlings, and leaves were soilborne organisms such as Bacillus, Curtobacterium, and Delftia and phytopathogenic organisms such as Pseudomonas, Pantoea, and Stenotrophomonas. These bacteria were found frequently in seeding machines, potting soil mix, soil, agricultural water, pesticide solutions mixed with the agricultural water, liquid fertilizers, and chemical fertilizers. Contamination from these environmental sites occurred throughout the cabbage growing period rather than only at the harvesting stage. These results indicate that use of clean water for irrigation and for mixing with pesticides and amendments from seeding to the harvesting stage is an important part of a good agricultural practices program for cabbage in Japan.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: The Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1) regulates expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) encoded by the MDR1 gene. There have been no previous studies regarding the involvement of YB-1 in the development of resistance to paclitaxel. The present study was performed to examine how paclitaxel affects the localization and expression of YB-1 in breast cancer.Experimental Design: We evaluated the expression and localization of YB-1 and P-gp in breast cancer tissues obtained from 27 patients before and after treatment with paclitaxel. The effect of paclitaxel on localization of cellular YB-1 was examined by using GFP-YB-1. Interaction of YB-1 with the Y-box motif of the MDR1 promoters was studied by EMSA. The effects of paclitaxel on MDR1 promoter activity were examined by luciferase assay.Results: Of 27 breast cancer tissues treated with paclitaxel, nine (33%) showed translocation of YB-1 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus together with increased expression of P-gp during the course of treatment. Twelve breast cancer tissues (44%) showed neither translocation of YB-1 nor increased expression of P-gp. Nuclear translocation of YB-1 was correlated significantly with increased expression of P-gp (P=0.0037). Confocal analysis indicated that paclitaxel induced nuclear translocation of green fluorescent fused YB-1 in MCF7 cells. Furthermore, binding of YB-1 to the Y-box of MDR1 promoter was increased in response to treatment with paclitaxel. In addition, MDR1 promoter activity was significantly up-regulated by paclitaxel in MCF7 cells (p< 0.001).Conclusions: The results of the present study suggested that YB-1 may be involved in the development of resistance to paclitaxel in breast cancer.
