Abstract
Despite the importance of lipid mediators in stress and depression and their link to inflammation, the influence of stress on these mediators and their role in inflammation is not fully understood. This study used RNA-seq, LC-MS/MS, and flow cytometry analyses in a mouse model subjected to chronic social defeat stress to explore the effects of acute and chronic stress on lipid mediators, gene expression, and cell population in the bone marrow and spleen. In the bone marrow, chronic stress induced a sustained transition from lymphoid to myeloid cells, accompanied by corresponding changes in gene expression. This change was associated with decreased levels of 15-deoxy-d12,14-prostaglandin J2, a lipid mediator that inhibits inflammation. In the spleen, chronic stress also induced a lymphoid-to-myeloid transition, albeit transiently, alongside gene expression changes indicative of extramedullary hematopoiesis. These changes were linked to lower levels of 12-HEPE and resolvins, both critical for inhibiting and resolving inflammation. Our findings highlight the significant role of anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving lipid mediators in the immune responses induced by chronic stress in the bone marrow and spleen. This study paves the way for understanding how these lipid mediators contribute to the immune mechanisms of stress and depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Japanese Brown (JBR) cattle, especially the Kochi (Tosa) pedigree (JBRT), is a local breed of moderately marbled beef. Despite the increasing demand, the interbreed differences in muscle metabolites from the highly marbled Japanese Black (JBL) beef remain poorly understood. We aimed to determine flavor-related metabolites and postmortem metabolisms characteristic to JBRT beef in comparison with JBL beef. METHODS Lean portions of the longissimus thoracis (loin) muscle from four JBRT cattle were collected at 0, 1, and 14 d postmortem. The muscle metabolomic profiles were analyzed using capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The difference in postmortem metabolisms and aged muscle metabolites were analyzed by statistical and bioinformatic analyses between JBRT (n = 12) and JBL cattle (n = 6). RESULTS A total of 240 metabolite annotations were obtained from the detected signals of the JBRT muscle samples. Principal component analysis separated the beef samples into three different aging point groups. According to metabolite set enrichment analysis, postmortem metabolic changes were associated with the metabolism of pyrimidine, nicotinate and nicotinamide, purine, pyruvate, thiamine, amino sugar, and fatty acid; citric acid cycle; and pentose phosphate pathway as well as various amino acids and mitochondrial fatty acid metabolism. The aged JBRT beef showed higher ultimate pH and lower lactate content than aged JBL beef, suggesting the lower glycolytic activity in postmortem JBRT muscle. JBRT beef was distinguished from JBL beef by significantly different compounds, including choline, amino acids, uridine monophosphate, inosine 5'-monophosphate, fructose 1,6-diphosphate, and betaine, suggesting interbreed differences in the accumulation of nucleotide monophosphate, glutathione metabolism, and phospholipid metabolism. CONCLUSION Glycolysis, purine metabolism, fatty acid catabolism, and protein degradation were the most common pathways in beef during postmortem aging. The differentially expressed metabolites and the relevant metabolisms in JBRT beef may contribute to the development of a characteristic flavor.

Abstract
Severe and prolonged social stress induces mood and cognitive dysfunctions and precipitates major depression. Neuroinflammation has been associated with chronic stress and depression. Rodent studies showed crucial roles of a few inflammation-related lipid mediators for chronic stress-induced depressive-like behaviors. Despite an increasing number of lipid mediators identified, systematic analyses of synthetic pathways of lipid mediators in chronic stress models have not been performed. Using LC–MS/MS, here we examined the effects of chronic social defeat stress on multiple synthetic pathways of lipid mediators in brain regions associated with stress susceptibility in mice. Chronic social defeat stress increased the amounts of 12-lipoxygenase (LOX) metabolites, 12-HETE and 12-HEPE, specifically in the nucleus accumbens 1 week, but not immediately, after the last stress exposure. The increase was larger in stress-resilient mice than stress-susceptible mice. The S isomer of 12-HETE was selectively increased in amount, indicating the role of 12S-LOX activity. Among the enzymes known to have 12S-LOX activity, only Alox12 mRNA was reliably detected in the brain and enriched in brain endothelial cells. These findings suggest that chronic social stress induces a late increase in the amounts of 12S-LOX metabolites derived from the brain vasculature in the nucleus accumbens in a manner associated with stress resilience.

Abstract
![]()
The evolution of
mass spectrometry (MS) and analytical techniques
has led to the demand for proteome analysis with high proteome coverage
in single-shot measurements. Focus has been placed on data-independent
acquisition (DIA)-MS and ion mobility spectrometry as techniques for
deep proteome analysis. We aimed to expand the proteome coverage by
single-shot measurements using optimizing high-field asymmetric waveform
ion mobility spectrometry parameters in DIA-MS. With our established
proteome analysis system, more than 10,000 protein groups were identified
from HEK293 cell digests within 120 min of MS measurement time. Additionally,
we applied our approach to the analysis of host proteins in mouse
feces and detected as many as 892 host protein groups (771 upregulated/121
downregulated proteins) in a mouse model of repeated social defeat
stress (R-SDS) used in studying depression. Interestingly, 285 proteins
elevated by R-SDS were related to mental disorders. The fecal host
protein profiling by deep proteome analysis may help us understand
mental illness pathologies noninvasively. Thus, our approach will
be helpful for an in-depth comparison of protein expression levels
for biological and medical research because it enables the analysis
of highly proteome coverage in a single-shot measurement.

Background
Quantification of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony is of great interest for resynchronization therapy (CRT). Recently, cardiac computed tomography (CCT) is feasible for evaluation of dyssynchrony. Our aim was to assess a novel simplified approach using CCT to quantify LV dyssynchrony.
Methods
We studied 346 consecutive patients with a wide range of QRS width and ejection fractions (EF). Electrocardiogram-gated contrast-enhanced 256-slice multidetector CT (Brilliance 256 iCT, Philips Medical Systems) was performed before CRT. After CCT scan, the LV endocardial boundaries from short-axis images reconstructed at 5% increments of cardiac cycle were automatically detected, and a time from R-wave to maximal wall motion was calculated for each of the 16 standardized segments for all slices using software "Myocardial Contraction Map" (Argus, Inc Ehime, Japan). The standard deviation of all segments modified by mean heart rate (%SD) was respectively calculated as the global parameter of dyssynchrony. LVEF was also measured using MDCT.
Results
%SD was feasible in all patients, respectably. %SD was significantly different between the different QRS duration groups; narrow QRS (<120ms): 9 ± 5%, relatively wide QRS (120-150 ms): 11 ± 6%, and significantly wide QRS (>150 ms): 14 ± 7% (p <0.001). Moreover, there was significantly difference in %SD between the different morphology groups; normal: 9 ± 7%, Non-left bundle branch block (Non-LBBB): 10 ± 6%, LBBB: 17 ± 7% (p <0.001).
Conclusion
This novel simplified approach by CCT can quantify dyssynchrony in different QRS duration and morphology groups. This method has promise for clinical applications to the evaluation of patients for CRT.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The degree of mechanical dyssynchrony has been suggested as a predictor for long-term survival after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). There have been little reports of dyssynchrony assessment with the use of cardiac computed tomography (CCT).
Methods
We studied 35 heart failure (HF) patients (average age 67±10 years) referred for CRT with NYHA III-IV heart failure, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) 20±10% (all ≤35%), and QRS duration 156±22 ms (all ≥120ms). Electrocardiogram-gated contrast-enhanced 256-slice multidetector CT was performed before CRT. Based on CCT, the LV endocardial boundaries from short-axis images reconstructed at 5% increments of cardiac cycle were automatically detected, and the time from R-wave to maximal wall motion was calculated for each of the 16 standardized segments for all slices using software “Myocardial Contraction Map”. The standard deviation modified by mean heart rate (%SD) was respectively calculated as the global parameter of dyssynchrony. LVEF was also measured using MDCT. The predefined primary end-point was the first HF hospitalization or death over 2 years.
Results
%SD was feasible in all patients, respectably. There were 16 events over 2 years; 11 HF hospitalizations and 5 deaths. Patients with %SD ≥22% (optimal cutoff for outcome by ROC curve analysis) had a better clinical outcome than patients with %SD <22% (p=0.01, Figure).
Conclusion
Patients who had %SD ≥22% assessed by MDCT had a particularly favorable event-free survival following CRT, and this appears to be an important prognostic marker.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has recently been shown to improve the cardiac function and even mortality in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), few studies have examined the outcomes of AF catheter ablation in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Purpose
To verify the impact of AF catheter ablation on the cardiac function and HF status in patients with HFpEF.
Methods
We studied 306 patients with HF who had a history of an HF hospitalization and/or preprocedural serum BNP levels >100pg/ml (age, 68.9±8.2 years old; male, 66.3%; non-paroxysmal AF, 63.1%, left atrial diameter [LAD], 42.5±6.3 mm; left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], 60.6±12.0%) out of 596 consecutive patients who underwent pulmonary vein isolation-based catheter ablation of AF. The patients with an LVEF ≥50% were defined as having HFpEF (n=262; age, 69.0±8.2 years old; male, 64.5%; non-paroxysmal AF, 61.8%, LAD, 42.1±5.9 mm; left LVEF, 64.0±8.2%) and the remaining patients with an LVEF <50% were defined as having HFrEF (n=44, age, 67.9±8.7 years old; male, 77.0%; non-paroxysmal AF, 70.5%, LAD, 44.9±8.2 mm; LVEF, 40.1±10.2%). The patients received periodic follow-ups for 12 months after the catheter ablation. The cardiac function parameters including the echocardiographic findings and HF functional status of the patients were compared between baseline and 12 months, stratified by the HF subgroup.
Results
AF recurred in 60 patients with HFpEF (22.9%) and in 14 with HFrEF (31.8%) during the 12 month follow-up (p=0.27), however, sinus rhythm was maintained at 12 months in most of the patients (253 patients with HFpEF [96.6%] and 42 patients with HFrEF [95.5%]) (p=0.71). Figure 1 compares the changes in the cardiac function parameters and NYHA functional class from baseline to the 12-month follow-up stratified by the HF subgroup. Both the patients with HFpEF and HFrEF had significant improvements in the serum BNP levels, chest thorax ratio, and LVEF determined by echocardiography. LA reverse remodeling as shown by a significant reduction in the LAD was observed in both HF subgroups, however, the E/E', an index of the LV diastolic function, did not significantly change in either of the subgroups. Similar to the patients with HFrEF, an improvement in the NYHA functional class was seen in those with HFpEF.
Conclusions
Catheter ablation of AF may benefit patients with HFpEF as well as those with HFrEF. Sinus rhythm maintenance achieved by AF catheter ablation in patients with HFpEF may lead to LA reverse remodeling and a better LV systolic function, thereby improving the NYHA functional class. It is unclear whether changes in the LV diastolic function may contribute to this favorable process.

Abstract
Infections caused by Aspergillus species are often life-threatening. Drugs effective for Aspergillus infection are limited. Voriconazole is one of the most important drugs, however, considerable portion of patients experience liver toxicity and have to stop the drug administration. We frequently experience liver toxicity even though the serum concentration of voriconazole is within the target range. Historically, in some life-threatening situations like tuberculosis, where a suitable alternative is unavailable, rechallenge has been attempted. However, there have been no report on the rechallenge of voriconazole. We report cases of successful re-administration of voriconazole after liver toxicity.

Abstract
Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is one of the most lethal tumors in humans. The onset of MM is linked to exposure to asbestos, which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are believed to be derived from the frustrated phagocytosis and the iron in asbestos. To explore the pathogenesis of MM, peritoneal MM was induced in rats by the repeated intraperitoneal injection of iron saccharate and nitrilotriacetate. In the present study, we used microarray techniques to screen the microRNA (miR) expression profiles of these MM. We observed that the histological subtype impacted the hierarchical clustering of miR expression profiles and determined that miR-199/214 is a distinctive feature of iron saccharate-induced sarcomatoid mesothelioma (SM). Twist1, a transcriptional regulator of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, has been shown to activate miR-199/214 transcription; thus, the expression level of Twist1 was examined in iron-induced and asbestos-induced mesotheliomas in rats. Twist1 was exclusively expressed in iron saccharate-induced SM but not in the epithelioid subtype. The Twist1-miR-199/214 axis is activated in iron saccharate-induced and asbestos-induced SM. The expression levels of miR-214 and Twist1 were correlated in an asbestos-induced MM cell line, suggesting that the Twist1-miR-199/214 axis is preserved. MeT5A, an immortalized human mesothelial cell line, was used for the functional analysis of miR. The overexpression of miR-199/214 promoted cellular proliferation, mobility and phosphorylation of Akt and ERK in MeT5A cells. These results indicate that miR-199/214 may affect the aggressive biological behavior of SM.

Abstract
In adolescent and adult brains several molecular, electrophysiological, and ultrastructural measures of synaptic strength are higher after wake than after sleep [1, 2]. These results support the proposal that a core function of sleep is to renormalize the increase in synaptic strength associated with ongoing learning during wake, to reestablish cellular homeostasis and avoid runaway potentiation, synaptic saturation, and memory interference [2, 3]. Before adolescence however, when the brain is still growing and many new synapses are forming, sleep is widely believed to promote synapse formation and growth. To assess the role of sleep on synapses early in life, we studied 2-week-old mouse pups (both sexes) whose brain is still undergoing significant developmental changes, but in which sleep and wake are easy to recognize. In two strains (CD-1, YFP-H) we found that pups spend ~50% of the day asleep and show an immediate increase in total sleep duration after a few hours of enforced wake, indicative of sleep homeostasis. In YFP-H pups we then used serial block-face electron microscopy to examine whether the axon-spine interface (ASI), an ultrastructural marker of synaptic strength, changes between wake and sleep. We found that the ASI of cortical synapses (layer 2, motor cortex) was on average 33.9% smaller after sleep relative to after extended wake and the differences between conditions were consistent with multiplicative scaling. Thus, the need for sleep-dependent synaptic renormalization may apply also to the young, pre-weaned cerebral cortex, at least in the superficial layers of the primary motor area.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) at the early stage of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is useful for the prediction of functional and clinical prognosis, the interpretation requires expertise. In this study, we sought to investigate if global longitudinal strain (GLS) during DSE after AMI can predict left ventricular remodeling (LVR).
Methods
Consecutive 30 patients with anterior wall AMI (18 male, age = 58 ± 13 years) were performed DSE 3 days after AMI. GLS was calculated as an averaged value of peak longitudinal strain in the apical 4- and 2-chamber views at baseline echocardiography, low-dose DSE (10 μg/kg/min) using available software (QLAB, Philips Medical Systems). Left ventricular remodeling (LVR) was defined as an echocardiographically determined increase in both EDVI and ESVI of 20% or more from baseline to the 6 month follow-up echocardiography.
Results
12 patients (40%) evolved with LVR. The change in GLS during low-dose DSE was significantly different between the remodeling and non-remodeling group (8 ± 5% v.s. 27 ± 20%, p < 0.05). Interestingly, it predicted LVR with sensitivity of 88%, specificity of 92% at the cut-off value of 12% (Area under the curve = 0.94, p < 0.0001).
Conclusion
The change in GLS during low-dose DSE can be used as a predictor for the LVR after AMI. This observation has promise for clinical applications.

Abstract
We recently reported that dopamine D1 receptor in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is activated by subthreshold social defeat stress and suppresses the induction of depressive-like behavior in mice. However, which mPFC projection(s) mediates this antidepressant-like effect remains poorly understood. Here we show that social defeat stress specifically increased c-Fos expression, a marker for neuronal activity, in distinct brain regions involved in emotional regulation, relative to novelty-induced exploration. Among these brain areas, D1 knockdown in the mPFC decreased social defeat stress-induced c-Fos expression in the interstitial nucleus of the posterior limb of the anterior commissure (IPAC), a subregion of the extended amygdala. Using retrograde adeno-associated virus vectors and transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase under the D1 promoter, we also found that D1-expressing deep-layer pyramidal neurons in the mPFC send direct projections to the IPAC. These findings indicate that social defeat stress specifically activates neurons in distinct brain areas, among which the IPAC is regulated by dopamine D1 receptor in the mPFC perhaps through direct projections. Thus, this study provides hints toward identifying neural circuits that underlie antidepressant-like effects of stress-induced dopamine D1 receptor signaling in the mPFC.

Abstract
Secretory IgA (SIgA) is a well-known mucosal-surface molecule in first-line defense against extrinsic pathogens and antigens. Its immunomodulatory and pathological roles have also been emphasized, but it is unclear whether it plays a pathological role in lung diseases. In the present study, we aimed to determine the distribution of IgA in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) lungs and whether IgA affects the functions of airway epithelial cells. We performed immunohistochemical analysis of lung sections from patients with IPF and found that mucus accumulated in the airspaces adjacent to the hyperplastic epithelia contained abundant SIgA. This was not true in the lungs of non-IPF subjects. An in-vitro assay revealed that SIgA bound to the surface of A549 cells and significantly promoted production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and interleukin (IL)-8, important cytokines in the pathogenesis of IPF. Among the known receptors for IgA, A549 cells expressed high levels of transferrin receptor (TfR)/CD71. Transfection experiments with siRNA targeted against TfR/CD71 followed by stimulation with SIgA suggested that TfR/CD71 may be at least partially involved in the SIgA-induced cytokine production by A549 cells. These phenomena were specific for SIgA, distinct from IgG. SIgA may modulate the progression of IPF by enhancing synthesis of VEGF, TGF-β and IL-8.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The strategy of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-guided wiring for CTO PCI, that is, leading the second guidewire into the true lumen under observing by IVUS from subintimal space, is the last resort. We developed the angiography-based 3D wiring method. During establishment of the angiography-based 3D wiring method, we deduced that observation of the guidewire tip as well as the shaft named “The tip detection method” simplifies and facilitates 3D wiring under IVUS-guided wiring. Therefore, we produced New CTO IVUS which is the upgraded version of Navifocus WR IVUS by adding the pull-back transducer system. This pull-back system enables us to detect the tip as well as the shaft of the second guidewire in real time (tip detection method), which facilitates the 3D wiring technique under IVUS-guided wiring.
Objective
We evaluated the efficacy of the tip detection method during 3D wiring for CTO PCI with New CTO IVUS.
Method
We created a target pinpoint penetration model and performed the procedures using an experimental heartbeat model. The target (a tube with a lumen 0.6 mm in diameter) was placed in the distal part of a CTO 20 mm in length made of 2.5% agar. After the second guidewire (Conquest-12g) was advanced into the CTO lesion to within 5mm of the target using the angiography-based wiring, IVUS-guided wiring was performed by using Navifocus WR or New CTO IVUS each five times.
Result
The frequency of the puncture time was reduced using the new CTO IVUS compared to the Navifocus WR (1.7±0.8 vs. 28.8±23.2, p=0.17). The procedure time was significantly shorter using the new CTO IVUS compared to the Navifocus WR (103±61 vs. 459±373 seconds, p=0.04).
Conclusion
The tip detection method during 3D wiring with the new short tip IVUS with the pull-back system enables us to easily perform 3D wiring and will change the CTO PCI strategy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexist and interact to initiate and perpetuate each other. Several retrospective or small cohort studies have suggested that successful catheter ablation of AF may help to waive device implantations in patients with paroxysmal AF plus SSS, however, no prospective large studies are so far available on this scenario.
Purpose
We aimed to elucidate the device implantation-free survival after catheter ablation of paroxysmal AF with coexisting SSS in a prospective large-scale registry. We also determined the risk factors for device implantations after catheter ablation of paroxysmal AF.
Methods
The Kansai Plus Atrial Fibrillation (KPAF) study is a multi-center prospective registry that enrolled 5,019 consecutive patients that underwent an initial pulmonary vein isolation-based radiofrequency catheter ablation of AF. This study was comprised of 3,226 patients with paroxysmal AF registered in the KPAF study (age, 64.8±10.5 years old; female, n=999 [31.0%]; left atrial diameter [LAD], 37.5±8.0 mm; left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF], 65.3±8.4%, CHADS2 score, 1.09±1.05). The atrial tachyarrhythmia-free and device-free survivals after catheter ablation were compared between patients with SSS (n=368; tachy-brady syndrome, 88%) and without SSS (control; n=2,858).
Results
The atrial tachyarrhythmia-free survival was almost identical between the two groups both after the first ablation session (Fig.1A) and after the last procedure with an average of 1.3±0.5 sessions. At baseline, the devices had already been implanted in 53 (14.4%) SSS and 36 (1.3%) control patients. In the remaining patients, devices were newly implanted in 54 (17.1%) SSS and 62 (2.2%) control patients during the follow-up of 3 years after the catheter ablation (Figure 1B). In the SSS group, devices were implanted predominantly within 6 months after the catheter ablation, and atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence preceded the device implantation in 48 (89%) patients. Multivariate predictors of device implantations after the paroxysmal AF ablation included: SSS (hazard ratio [HR] 6.85, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.61–10.19, p<0.001), an age>75 years old (HR 1.69, 95% CI 1.08–2.64, p=0.019), a female gender (HR 2.16, 95% CI 1.44–3.24, p<0.001), the LAD (mm) (HR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02–1.08, p=0.006), and the LVEF (%) (95% CI 0.96, 95% CI 0.94–0.98, p<0.001).
Figure 1
Conclusions
Device implantations could be waived in >80% of patients with SSS at 3 years of follow-up after the catheter ablation of paroxysmal AF in this real world all comer prospective registry. In addition to coexisting SSS, predictors of device implantations after paroxysmal AF ablation included: the elderly, a female gender, a large LA, and a reduced LVEF.

Abstract
SETTING The number of patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD) worldwide has been increasing. Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease (MAC-LD) accounts for 90% of NTM-LD. MAC-LD necessitates long-term treatment, but adverse reactions with long-term administration of drugs are poorly understood. OBJECTIVE To evaluate adverse reactions with long-term administration of drugs for MAC-LD. DESIGN We conducted a retrospective single-centre medical chart review of 364 patients administered two or more drugs between July 2010 and June 2015. RESULTS The prevalence and median time to onset of adverse reactions were as follows: hepatotoxicity 19.5%, 55 days; leucocytopaenia 20.0%, 41 days; thrombocytopaenia 28.6%, 61.5 days; cutaneous reactions 9.3%, 30 days; ocular toxicity 7.7%, 278 days; and increase in serum creatinine 12.4%, 430.5 days. Multivariate analysis showed that rifampicin use was independently associated with thrombocytopaenia, and ethambutol use was independently associated with increases in serum creatinine. CONCLUSION The main adverse reactions appeared within 3 months after start of treatment. Most patients were able to continue treatment with liver-supporting therapy, antihistamine agents or desensitisation therapy; however, ocular toxicity must be monitored for up to 1 year after start of treatment.

Abstract
Aims Animal studies using various stress models have shown that excessive environmental stress induces depression? and anxiety?like behaviors through inflammatory responses in the brain and periphery. Although the leptomeningeal cells have multiple functions related to inflammatory responses in the brain, whether environmental stress influences the leptomeninges remains unknown. In this study, we aimed to examine phosphorylation of the extracellular signal‐regulated kinase (ERK) in the leptomeninges. Methods We subjected C57BL/6 male mice to a single episode of social defeat stress and analyzed the expression of phosphorylated ERK in the leptomeninges by immunohistochemistry. Results Social defeat stress in mice induced phosphorylation of ERK in the leptomeninges, adjacent to vascular endothelial cells and the glia limitans. This ERK phosphorylation was maintained for at least one hour after the stress. Conclusions This study shows the effect of environmental stress on the leptomeninges for the first time and paves the way for elucidating its functional role in stress‐induced changes in neural functions. This study shows for the first time that social defeat stress induces phosphorylation of extracellular signal‐regulated kinase in the leptomeninges in mice. This finding paves the way for elucidating a potential role of the leptomeninges in mediating stress‐induced inflammatory signals from the periphery to the brain.![]()

Abstract
Immunoglobulin (Ig)A is the most abundant immunoglobulin in humans, and in the airway mucosa secretory IgA (sIgA) plays a pivotal role in first-line defense against invading pathogens and antigens. IgA has been reported to also have pathogenic effects, including possible worsening of the prognosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the precise effects of IgA on lung fibroblasts remain unclear, and we aimed to elucidate how IgA activates human lung fibroblasts. We found that sIgA, but not monomeric IgA (mIgA), induced interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1 and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) production by normal human lung fibroblasts (NHLFs) at both the protein and mRNA levels. sIgA also promoted proliferation of NHLFs and collagen gel contraction comparable to with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, which is involved in fibrogenesis in IPF. Also, Western blot analysis and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) revealed that sIgA enhanced production of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and collagen type I (Col I) by NHLFs. Flow cytometry showed that NHLFs bound sIgA, and among the known IgA receptors, NHLFs significantly expressed CD71 (transferrin receptor). Transfection of siRNA targeting CD71 partially but significantly suppressed cytokine production by NHLFs co-cultured with sIgA. Our findings suggest that sIgA may promote human lung inflammation and fibrosis by enhancing production of inflammatory or fibrogenic cytokines as well as extracellular matrix, inducing fibroblast differentiation into myofibroblasts and promoting human lung fibroblast proliferation. sIgA's enhancement of cytokine production may be due partially to its binding to CD71 or the secretory component.

Abstract
The basic properties of a Talbot interferometer implementing pinhole arrays were experimentally and numerically investigated for the improvement of measurement sensitivity of laser wavefront sensors utilized for electron density imaging over discharge plasmas. A numerical simulation using a plane wave decomposition method indicated that the pinhole arrays with a pitch of 300 μm and a pinhole diameter of 150 μm were most suitable for the measurement of the millimetre-scale discharge plasmas, in consideration of the spatial resolution and measurement accuracy. The plane wave decomposition simulation expected that the measurement sensitivity of the 8th-Talbot-length interferometer could be improved by a factor of 4 compared with the previously developed Shack-Hartmann type laser wavefront sensors, which was experimentally verified by the self-image behavior of the pinhole arrays. The Talbot interferometric system was successfully used for electron density imaging over the vacuum arcs generated between a 3-mm gap. The electron density image observed by the Talbot interferometers was in excellent agreement with that visualized by the previously developed Shack-Hartmann sensors. The practical notification for the pinhole array fabrication was also presented.

Abstract
Distributions of radiocaesium (134Cs and 137Cs) derived from the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP1) accident in the North Pacific Ocean in the summer of 2012 were investigated. We have estimated the radiocaesium inventory in the surface layer using the optimal interpolation analysis and the subducted amount into the central mode water (CMW) by using vertical profiles of FNPP1-134Cs and mass balance analysis as the first approach. The inventory of the 134Cs in the surface layer in the North Pacific Ocean in August-December 2012 was estimated at 5.1 ± 0.9 PBq on 1 October 2012, which corresponds to 8.6 ± 1.5 PBq when it was decay corrected to the date of the FNPP1 accident, 11 March 2011. It was revealed that 56 ± 10% of the released 134Cs into the North Pacific Ocean, which was estimated at 15.3 ± 2.6 PBq, transported eastward in the surface layer in 2012. The amount of 134Cs subducted in the CMW was estimated to be 2.5 ± 0.9 PBq based on the mass balance among the three domains of the surface layer, subtropical mode water, and CMW.

Abstract
Fibroadenoma (FA) is a common mammary fibroepithelial tumor. The tumor size of the FA is
increased by estrogen, progesterone, prolactin, and pregnancy, whereas it decreases after
menopause. These observations in humans indicate that FA is hormone dependent. In rats,
the most common mammary neoplasm is also FA. Expression levels of Twist1, a
transcriptional regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, were examined in
paraffin-embedded tissue sections of an experimental rat breast model to find
physiological alternations coincident with reproductive hormonal changes. Twenty-three
Fischer 344/Brown Norway F1 hybrid rats were used as 14‐ to 16-week-old adolescent rats
(n=3), pregnant rats (n=4), and lactating rats (n=6) in addition to rats over
100-weeks-old that exhibited aging (n=3) and FA (n=7). Seventy-six cases of chemically
induced breast carcinoma and two cases of FA in Sprague Dawley rats were also examined.
Using tissue sections, we observed that Twist1-positive mesenchymal cells were
predominantly located in the periductal region in adolescent and pregnant rats and in the
terminal duct lobular unit in pregnant and elderly rats. Twist1 was also expressed
diffusely in the mesenchymal cells of FA rats. Twist1-positive cancer-associated
mesenchymal cells were found more frequently in the invasive components of breast
carcinomas than in intraductal components. The expressions of Twist1 in mesenchymal cells
were induced by physiological and pathological stimuli, suggesting the biological role of
Twist1 in tissue structure. Further study may reveal the role of Twist1 in mesenchymal
cells of mammary glands in rats.

Abstract
The “non-specific” ventromedial thalamic nucleus (VM) has long been considered a candidate for mediating cortical arousal due to its diffuse, superficial projections, but direct evidence was lacking. Here, we show in mice that the activity of VM calbindin1-positive matrix cells is high in wake and REM sleep and low in NREM sleep, and increases before cortical activity at the sleep-to-wake transition. Optogenetic stimulation of VM cells rapidly awoke all mice from NREM sleep and consistently caused EEG activation during slow wave anesthesia, while arousal did not occur from REM sleep. Conversely, chemogenetic inhibition of VM decreased wake duration. Optogenetic activation of the “specific” ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM) did not cause arousal from either NREM or REM sleep. Thus, matrix cells in VM produce arousal and broad cortical activation during NREM sleep and slow wave anesthesia in a way that accounts for the effects classically attributed to “non-specific” thalamic nuclei. The ventromedial thalamus (VM) is thought to control cortical arousal through its diffuse projections to cortex. Here the authors record and manipulate the activity of calbindin1-positive matrix cells in VM and show that they bidirectionally regulate the sleep-wake transition.

Abstract
MIB-1 is a cell proliferation marker and has previously been investigated as a diagnostic or prognostic indicator of malignancy. Previous studies have investigated MIB-1 index and clinicopathological factors in relation to prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer, with conflicting results. The aim of this study is to assess the prognostic significance of MIB-1 index in patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. A total of 78 patients who underwent R0-esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled in this study. Preoperatively, 29 patients underwent chemotherapy, six underwent chemoradiotherapy, and the remaining did not undergo any preoperative therapy. The MIB-1 labeling index was reported by counting 500 tumor cells in the hot spots of nuclear labeling. Correlations between MIB-1 index, clinicopathological factors, and relapse-free survival (RFS) were investigated. The mean MIB-1 index was 39.3 ± 21.0 (range: 0-91.3). There was no significant correlation between clinicopathological factors and MIB-1 index in the study patients, irrespective of whether they underwent preoperative therapy. Univariate analysis revealed no significant association between MIB-1 index and RFS. However, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis and stage, all showed a significant correlation to RFS. Multivariate analysis of RFS revealed that stage was the only significant factor. Conversely, MIB-1 index was not significantly related to RFS (p = 0.41). In conclusion, MIB-1 index is unlikely to be a significant prognostic indicator for esophageal cancer.

Abstract
High molecular weight neutrophil chemotactic activity has been identified in resected human nasal polyps, inferior turbinates, and nasal secretions following antigen challenge. The estimated molecular weight, by gel filtration chromatography, was approximately 600,000. However, a heterogeneity of molecular weight in some patients was recognized. Our results suggest a possible role for high molecular weight-neutrophil chemotactic activity in the pathogenesis of hypersensitivity in the human nasal cavity.

Abstract
Introduction Sleep-dependent consolidation of motor learning has been extensively studied in humans, but it remains unclear why some, but not all, learned skills benefit from sleep. Aims and Methods Here, we compared 2 different motor tasks, both requiring the mice to run on an accelerating device. In the rotarod task, mice learn to maintain balance while running on a small rod, while in the complex wheel task, mice run on an accelerating wheel with an irregular rung pattern. Results In the rotarod task, performance improved to the same extent after sleep or after sleep deprivation (SD). Overall, using 7 different experimental protocols (41 sleep deprived mice, 26 sleeping controls), we found large interindividual differences in the learning and consolidation of the rotarod task, but sleep before/after training did not account for this variability. By contrast, using the complex wheel, we found that sleep after training, relative to SD, led to better performance from the beginning of the retest session, and longer sleep was correlated with greater subsequent performance. As in humans, the effects of sleep showed large interindividual variability and varied between fast and slow learners, with sleep favoring the preservation of learned skills in fast learners and leading to a net offline gain in the performance in slow learners. Using Fos expression as a proxy for neuronal activation, we also found that complex wheel training engaged motor cortex and hippocampus more than the rotarod training. Conclusions Sleep specifically consolidates a motor skill that requires complex movement sequences and strongly engages both motor cortex and hippocampus.

Abstract
Background: The surgical strategy for the treatment of colorectal cancer and synchronous hepatic metastases remains controversial. Many surgeons fear anastomotic leakage and intraperitoneal abscesses when performing a one-step procedure. They prefer a two-step procedure with a liver resection 2 to 3 months after resection of the colorectal primary lesion. Subjects and Methods: We analysed medical records from April 1994 to April 2002 for a total of 42 patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous liver metastases who underwent simultaneous liver and colorectal resections with a primary anastomosis. Special attention was paid to data on surgical procedures, postoperative morbidity, and mortality. Results: Forty-two patients, 24 men and 18 women, were studied. Median operating time was 6.50 hours (3.75–11.0 hours), and median blood loss was 1522 ml (range 288 to 5650 ml). Postoperative complications included pleural effusion in 4 patients, ileus in 3, anastomotic leakage in 2, intraperitoneal pelvic abscesses in 1, pneumonia in 1, bile leakage in 1, atelectasis in 1, and wound infection in 1. There was no perioperative mortality. Conclusion: Simultaneous colorectal resection with a primary anastomosis and hepatectomy for synchronous liver metastases is considered a safe procedure.
