Abstract
OBJECTIVE Wound repair dysfunction is becoming a major public health issue worldwide. Yes-associated protein (YAP) has previously been reported to be closely related to wound healing, while how YAP accelerates wound healing via regulating autophagy needs to be further probed. MATERIALS AND METHODS ICR male mice were involved in two independent animal experiments; the mice were randomly allocated into control, autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) (injection), and 3-MA (drip) group or control, si-NC, si-YAP group (8 mice for each). Full-thickness excisional wounds (8 mm) in mice were created by punch to construct an in vivo wound model to observe the effects of autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) (by injection and drip) and si-YAP by electrotransfection. RESULTS Firstly, we found that the autophagy inhibitor (3-MA) accelerated wound closure in vivo. Loss-of-function experiments subsequently revealed that YAP knockdown led to increased proliferation and migration of fibroblasts as well as reduced autophagy, resulting in accelerated wound healing. In addition, our results revealed that YAP could positively regulate Engrailed-1 (En1) expression in fibroblasts. En1 knockdown also promoted the proliferation and migration of fibroblasts, meanwhile resulting in increased mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) levels and reduced autophagy in fibroblasts. CONCLUSIONS YAP knockdown repressed autophagy in fibroblasts to accelerate wound closure by regulating the En1/mTOR axis.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis can develop in adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and should be given attention. Endothelial function is well known as a predictor of the development of atherosclerosis but has not been well investigated in patients with repaired CHD. This study aimed to clarify the endothelial function and its relationship with clinical backgrounds and parameters in adolescents with various types of repaired CHDs. Endothelial function was evaluated using peripheral arterial tonometry (PAT). The reactive hyperemia index (RHI) was evaluated and compared between adolescents with repaired CHD and those in the control group. The relationship between the clinical background and parameters was also investigated in patients with repaired CHD. Forty-eight patients with repaired CHD (age 14.0 ± 3.3 years) and 114 healthy volunteers were included in this study. Patients with repaired CHD comprised 16 with repaired non-cyanotic CHD, 14 with repaired tetralogy of Fallot, and 18 who underwent the Fontan procedure. RHI in the repaired CHD group was significantly lower than in the control group. There was no significant correlation between the RHI and blood biochemical markers, such as uric acid, creatine, and brain natriuretic peptide levels. The RHI was significantly higher in patients taking angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) than in those not taking them. Endothelial function was impaired in adolescents with repaired CHD compared to that in the control group. Microvascular endothelial dysfunction developed even in adolescents with simple non-cyanotic CHD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current guidelines discourage shunt closure in patients with pulmonary vascular resistance index >8 Wood units x m2. The study examined the long-term outcome of patients over 15 years old, with pulmonary vascular resistance index >8 Wood units x m2 and patent ductus arteriosus. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a multi-institutional, retrospective study involving all consecutive patients (>15 years old) with patent ductus arteriosus and severe pulmonary hypertension. Patients who had patent ductus arteriosus closure were divided into the Good (no death or hospital admissions due to worsening pulmonary hypertension) and the Poor Outcome groups and these groups were compared. RESULTS Thirty-seven patients [male: 9 (24.3%); mean age: 30.49 ± 9.56 years; median follow-up: 3 (IQR: 1.5,10) years] were included from four centers. Twenty-two patients who underwent patent ductus arteriosus closure, 15 (71.4%) had good outcomes while 7 (28.6%) had poor outcomes. Pulmonary vascular resistance index and pulmonary to systemic resistance ratio (Rp:Rs) were lower in the Good Outcome Group (14.35 ± 1.66 Wood units x m2 vs. 20.07 ± 2.44; p = 0.033 and 0.44 ± 0.16 vs. 1.08 ± 1.21; p = 0.042). Haemoglobin concentrations (<14.3 g/dL) were associated with good long-term outcomes in the Closed Group. CONCLUSIONS Patients with patent ductus arteriosus with severe pulmonary hypertension have a dismal outcome with or without closure. High haemoglobin levels at the time of occlusion predict a worse outcome for patients with patent ductus arteriosus and pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The appropriate surgical procedure for patients with upper third early gastric cancer is controversial. We compared total gastrectomy (TG) with proximal gastrectomy (PG) in this patient population. METHODS A multicenter, non-randomized trial was conducted, with patients treated with PG or TG. We compared short- and long-term outcomes between these procedures. RESULTS Between 2009 and 2014, we enrolled 254 patients from 22 institutions; data from 252 were included in the analysis. These 252 patients were assigned to either the PG (n = 159) or TG (n = 93) group. Percentage of body weight loss (%BWL) at 1 year after surgery, i.e., the primary endpoint, in the PG group was significantly less than that of the TG group (- 12.8% versus - 16.9%; p = 0.0001). For short-term outcomes, operation time was significantly shorter for PG than TG (252 min versus 303 min; p < 0.0001), but there were no group-dependent differences in blood loss and postoperative complications. For long-term outcomes, incidence of reflux esophagitis in the PG group was significantly higher than that of the TG group (14.5% versus 5.4%; p = 0.02), while there were no differences in the incidence of anastomotic stenosis between the two (5.7% versus 5.4%; p = 0.92). Overall patient survival rates were similar between the two groups (3-year survival rates: 96% versus 92% in the PG and TG groups, respectively; p = 0.49). CONCLUSIONS Patients who underwent PG were better able to control weight loss without worsening the prognosis, relative to those in the TG group. Optimization of a reconstruction method to reduce reflux in PG patients will be important.

Abstract
Background Brain abscesses are relatively rare, but they are a potentially life-threatening condition. Predictive factors for poor outcome are a young age and the presence of multiple abscesses. We report a case of a 15-month-old girl with cyanotic congenital heart disease who developed multiple brain abscesses caused by Streptococcus intermedius. The patient was treated with a combination of surgical aspiration and antimicrobial therapy without apparent neurological sequelae. To the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest such patient to have been reported in the literature. We explore the possible causes of her good outcome. Case presentation At the age of 15 months, the Japanese patient initially was presented to our hospital with transient eye deviation to the left and vomiting. In a blood examination, her white blood cell count (12,720 per mm3 with a left shift) and C-reactive protein level (1.23 mg/ml) were slightly elevated. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed three mass lesions. These were 1.5-cm, 1.9-cm, and 1.2-cm rim-enhancing lesions with extensive surrounding edema. Brain abscesses were diagnosed, and vancomycin (50 mg every 12 hours) and meropenem (40 mg every 8 hours) were started empirically. However, because each brain abscess was enlarged at 8 days after admission, surgical aspiration was performed at 10 days after admission, and cultures of the aspirated pus grew S. intermedius. Penicillin G (0.7 million units every 4 hours) and ceftriaxone (280 mg every 12 hours), to which this isolate is susceptible, were then administered, and the brain abscesses reduced in size. After 1 month of ceftriaxone and 3 months of penicillin G treatment, all of the brain abscesses disappeared. Apparent neurological sequelae were not observed at 6 months after onset. Conclusions A good outcome can be obtained if multiple brain abscesses develop in infancy or early childhood in cases without unconsciousness at admission, meningitis, or sepsis. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy should be started immediately after diagnosis, with surgical aspiration performed to identify the causative pathogen and avoid intraventricular rupture of the brain abscesses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The INBUILD trial investigated the efficacy and safety of nintedanib versus placebo in patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We aimed to establish the effects of nintedanib in subgroups based on ILD diagnosis. METHODS The INBUILD trial was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial done at 153 sites in 15 countries. Participants had an investigator-diagnosed fibrosing ILD other than IPF, with chest imaging features of fibrosis of more than 10% extent on high resolution CT (HRCT), forced vital capacity (FVC) of 45% or more predicted, and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLco) of at least 30% and less than 80% predicted. Participants fulfilled protocol-defined criteria for ILD progression in the 24 months before screening, despite management considered appropriate in clinical practice for the individual ILD. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 by means of a pseudo-random number generator to receive nintedanib 150 mg twice daily or placebo for at least 52 weeks. Participants, investigators, and other personnel involved in the trial and analysis were masked to treatment assignment until after database lock. In this subgroup analysis, we assessed the rate of decline in FVC (mL/year) over 52 weeks in patients who received at least one dose of nintedanib or placebo in five prespecified subgroups based on the ILD diagnoses documented by the investigators: hypersensitivity pneumonitis, autoimmune ILDs, idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia, unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and other ILDs. The trial has been completed and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02999178. FINDINGS Participants were recruited between Feb 23, 2017, and April 27, 2018. Of 663 participants who received at least one dose of nintedanib or placebo, 173 (26%) had chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, 170 (26%) an autoimmune ILD, 125 (19%) idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia, 114 (17%) unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and 81 (12%) other ILDs. The effect of nintedanib versus placebo on reducing the rate of FVC decline (mL/year) was consistent across the five subgroups by ILD diagnosis in the overall population (hypersensitivity pneumonitis 73·1 [95% CI -8·6 to 154·8]; autoimmune ILDs 104·0 [21·1 to 186·9]; idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia 141·6 [46·0 to 237·2]; unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia 68·3 [-31·4 to 168·1]; and other ILDs 197·1 [77·6 to 316·7]; p=0·41 for treatment by subgroup by time interaction). Adverse events reported in the subgroups were consistent with those reported in the overall population. INTERPRETATION The INBUILD trial was not designed or powered to provide evidence for a benefit of nintedanib in specific diagnostic subgroups. However, its results suggest that nintedanib reduces the rate of ILD progression, as measured by FVC decline, in patients who have a chronic fibrosing ILD and progressive phenotype, irrespective of the underlying ILD diagnosis.

Abstract
Cholestasis is defined as a reduction of bile secretion caused by a dysfunction of bile formation. Insufficient bile secretion into the intestine undermines the formation of micelles, which may result in the reduced absorption of lipids and fat-soluble vitamins. Here, we investigated the retinol homeostasis and the alterations of retinol metabolism-related genes, including β-carotene 15,15′ monooxygenase (BCMO), lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), cytochrome P450 26A1 (CYP26A1), and retinoic acid receptors (RAR) β, in a α-naphthyl isothiocyanate (ANIT)-induced cholestasis rat model. Moreover, we examined the expression of the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) target genes. Our results showed that plasma retinol levels were decreased in ANIT rats compared to control rats. On the contrary, hepatic retinol levels were not different between the two groups. The expression of FXR target genes in the liver and intestine of cholestasis model rats was repressed. The BCMO expression was decreased in the liver and increased in the intestine of ANIT rats compared to control rats. Finally, the hepatic expression of LRAT, RARβ, and ALDH1A1 in cholestatic rats was decreased compared to the control rats, while the CYP26A1 expression of the liver was not altered. The increased expression of intestinal BCMO in cholestasis model rats might compensate for decreased circulatory retinol levels. The BCMO expression might be regulated in a tissue-specific manner to maintain the homeostasis of retinol.

Abstract
Information on the distribution and biology of the G-protein coupled receptor 4 (GPR4) in the brain is limited. It is currently thought that GPR4 couples to Gs proteins and may mediate central respiratory sensitivity to CO2. Using a knock-in mouse model, abundant GPR4 expression was detected in the cerebrovascular endothelium and neurones of dorsal raphe, retro-trapezoidal nucleus locus coeruleus and lateral septum. A similar distribution was confirmed using RNAscope in situ hybridisation. In HEK293 cells, overexpressing GPR4, it was highly constitutively active at neutral pH with little further increase in cAMP towards acidic pH. The GPR4 antagonist NE 52-QQ57 effectively blocked GPR4-mediated cAMP accumulation (IC50 26.8 nM in HEK293 cells). In HUVEC which natively express GPR4, physiological acidification (pH 7.4-7.0) resulted in a cAMP increase by ∼55% which was completely prevented by 1 μM NE 52-QQ57. The main extracellular organic acid, l-lactic acid (LL; 1-10 mM), suppressed pH dependent activation of GPR4 in HEK293 and HUVEC cells, suggesting allosteric negative modulation. In unanaesthetised mice and rats, NE 52-QQ57 (20 mg kg-1) reduced ventilatory response to 5 and 10% CO2. In anaesthetised rats, systemic administration of NE 52-QQ57 (up to 20 mg kg-1) had no effect on hemodynamics, cerebral blood flow and blood oxygen level dependent responses. Central administration of NE 52-QQ57 (1 mM) in vagotomised anaesthetised rats did not affect CO2-induced respiratory responses. Our results indicate that GPR4 is expressed by multiple neuronal populations and endothelium and that its pH sensitivity is affected by level of expression and LL. NE 52-QQ57 blunts hypercapnic response to CO2 but this effect is absent under anaesthesia, possibly due to the inhibitory effect of LL on GPR4.

Abstract
Trisomy 18 is often fatal, but patients with this disease can now have longer survival due to proactive treatment intervention. However, hepatoblastomas may develop in these patients. In this study, we report four cases of hepatoblastoma associated with trisomy 18. All of the patients had congenital heart disease and three had undergone intracardiac surgical repair. Tumor growth was relatively slow in all cases, and there were no problems with chemotherapy tolerability and surgical resection. Three of the patients are currently disease-free and the fourth is alive with remaining of the tumor. These cases suggest that combined chemotherapy and surgical resection may be an option to treat hepatoblastoma associated with trisomy 18 when cardiac pulmonary function is relatively stable.

Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction is the early predictive factor for the development of atherosclerosis and future cardiovascular diseases in adulthood. The prevalence of endothelial dysfunction in children and early adolescents is increasing worldwide. Peripheral arterial tonometry is a noninvasive technique for assessing peripheral microvascular function and is used as a validated marker of endothelial function. We assessed anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and peripheral endothelial function in 157 Japanese early adolescents (75 boys and 82 girls). We measured peripheral endothelial function by using peripheral arterial tonometry to determine the reactive hyperemia index, and assessed the association of reactive hyperemia index with parameters of anthropometry and arterial stiffness. The mean reactive hyperemia index of all subjects was 1.85 ± 0.6, and there was no difference of reactive hyperemia index according to sex. Reactive hyperemia index was significantly associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and had no correlation with anthropometric parameters and arterial stiffness markers. The reactive hyperemia index values among Japanese early adolescents were similar to those reported in previous studies on children and early adolescents. This noninvasive technique may be useful for the assessment of microvascular endothelial function among children and early adolescents.

Abstract
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfate ester DHEA-sulfate (DHEA-S) are the most abundant adrenal steroids in humans. DHEA has a critical role as a steroidal precursor of androgens and/or estrogens, and in human studies and animal experiments, both DHEA and DHEA-S have multiple beneficial effects. However, there are few reports regarding the relationship between DHEA and nutrient status, especially for vitamins. Therefore, we elucidated the effect of DHEA administration on retinol status. Wistar rats were fed with a standard diet containing 0.4% (wt/wt) DHEA for 2 wk. We assessed retinol status and the expression of retinol-related proteins, including metabolic enzymes, binding proteins, cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, and antioxidant enzymes. Retinol levels in the plasma and the liver of DHEA-fed rats were lower than those of controls. Expression of β-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase (BCMO) in the liver and intestine of DHEA-fed rats was lower, whereas BCMO expression in the testes of DHEA-fed rats was higher than that of controls. Expression of the retinol-metabolizing aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) enzyme ALDH1A2 was repressed in the liver of DHEA rats, whereas ALDH1A1 expression was unaltered. Hepatic expression of lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) and CYP26A1 was lower in DHEA-fed rats than in controls. Retinol status in DHEA-fed rats might be affected by altered BCMO expression in the liver and intestine and hepatic LRAT expression, whereas BCMO expression in peripheral tissues may be regulated in a tissue-specific manner. We have shown that DHEA administration may influence retinol status and the expression of retinol-related proteins.

Abstract
We report the case of a newborn baby with an unguarded mitral orifice associated with asplenia syndrome, double-outlet right ventricle, dysplastic tricuspid valve, and pulmonary stenosis. This case was accompanied by severe tricuspid regurgitation and severe right ventricular hypertrophy. The patient had a fatal clinical course due to severe hypoxia and congestive heart failure. Unguarded mitral orifice is a rare disease in which there has been no previous report of lethal clinical course during the neonatal period. Prior reports stated that unguarded mitral orifice was a new constellation of defects and that its etiology and embryology could be classified in the same category because of similar associated malformations of double-outlet right ventricle and pulmonary stenosis or atresia. However, the present case was diagnosed on autopsy as also having asplenia syndrome. Therefore, it is possible that the genetic etiology of unguarded mitral orifice in this case was different from cases of non-heterotaxy. <Learning objective: Unguarded mitral orifice is a rare disease that might be associated with asplenia syndrome and dysplastic tricuspid valve. If unguarded mitral orifice is associated with such defects, the clinical course can be fatal. Therefore, when this diagnosis is recognized, the physician should explain the possibility of neonatal death and plan the treatment of such a case to include grief therapy for the family.>.

Abstract
A tumor thrombus of the portal vein is refractory to therapy and constitutes a serious prognostic factor in hepatocellular carcinoma. For the purpose of treating portal vein tumor thrombus by restoring the blood flow and preventing recurrent ingrowth of tumor, we devised a metallic stent partially covered with a Dacron mesh sheet, and a coaxial percutaneous delivery system. One half of the wall of a Gianturco Z-stent was covered with a sheet of 0.25-mm-thick Dacron mesh, fixed to the stent wall with nylon threads. The covered stent was implanted in a patient with severe main portal vein stenosis due to tumor thrombus protruding from the left portal vein branch. Immediately after stent placement the tumor stenosis was effectively dilated, the portal blood flow restored, and the portal hypertension relieved. CT and angiography after 8 months still showed complete portal vein patency. Intrahepatic tumor dissemination or other complications were not observed. Intraportal placement of a covered metallic stent appears to be an efficacious therapy of major portal tumor thrombi.

Abstract
Vitamin E plays a critical role as an antioxidant in several pathological conditions, including diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder of glucose due to the lack of adequate insulin production (type 1) or peripheral insulin resistance (type 2). Oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications. The purpose of the present study was to determine α-tocopherol status and the expression of α-tocopherol-related proteins, including binding proteins and metabolizing enzymes, under streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes in rat models. In STZ rats, plasma α-tocopherol levels decreased compared to the control rats, whereas hepatic α-tocopherol levels in the STZ rats were significantly increased. CuZn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene expression in the liver of STZ rats was markedly decreased, whereas Mn-SOD gene expression remained unaltered. Accelerated lipid peroxidation in the liver of STZ rats was observed and the hepatic expression of α-tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) in STZ rats decreased compared to that in the controls. The hepatic expression of cytochrome P450 4F2 (CYP4F2) and CYP3A2 genes in STZ rats also decreased. The reduced expression of hepatic α-TTP and CYP4F2 genes probably leads to decreased plasma α-tocopherol levels and elevated α-tocopherol levels in the liver of STZ rats. The altered expression of hepatic α-tocopherol-related proteins might regulate α-tocopherol status in type 1 diabetes. Determining the mechanism of modulating α-tocopherol status may be helpful in promoting antioxidant therapy in diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Currently, polyurethane foam dressings are commercially available from many manufacturers. However, the pressure-reducing effect is expected to differ by the formulation and combination of the main and secondary ingredients and by manufacturing method. In this study, we investigated the effects of pressure reduction using dressing materials with various structural characteristics, including polyurethane foam dressings based on the engineering point of view, focusing on the dry state. METHOD Pressure was measured in a model that simulated compression on the sacral region in a decubitus position. Pressure was measured for different dressings: ten products, consisting of five types of material (polyurethane foam, hydropolymeric, Hydrofiber, hydrocolloid, and low-adherent absorbent). RESULTS All dressings used in this study showed significantly reduced pressure. ALLEVYN Non-Adhesive had the lowest pressure at 35.833 ± 1.155 mmHg, and DuoDERM Extra Thin CGF had the highest pressure at 66.867 ± 1.060 mmHg. The pressure of the control was 74.667 ± 1.405 mmHg. The other dressings were: ALLEVYN Adhesive: 44.233 ± 0.777 mmHg; ALLEVYN Gentle Border: 46.967 ± 1.537mmHg; Mepilex Border: 53.867 ± 0.231 mmHg; Biatain Silicone: 56.000 ± 0.520 mmHg; TIELLE: 57.267 ± 3.403 mmHg;Versiva XC: 65.900 ± 0.800 mmHg; DuoDERM CGF: 57.267 ± 1.007 mmHg; and Melolin: 53.433 ± 1.973 mmHg. CONCLUSION The pressure-reducing effect of dressing differs not only by material type but also by product. That is, the pressure-reducing effect can differ even if the dressings are of the same material type, such as polyurethane foam. Our study investigated only the effect of materials and structural characteristics on the cushion of dressings in the dry state. Therefore, further investigation is needed to confirm the effect of pressure reduction by dressing to meet the conditions in the clinic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction has previously been reported in children with a history of Kawasaki disease, but the determinants of endothelial function in Kawasaki disease patients are still unknown. In this study, we investigated endothelial function in Kawasaki disease patients and attempted to identify risk factors for persistent endothelial dysfunction. METHODS Using high-resolution ultrasound, we measured the percent flow-mediated dilatation, an arterial response to reactive hyperemia, to evaluate endothelial function in 67 patients with a history of Kawasaki disease and 28 age- and sex-matched control subjects. We divided the Kawasaki disease patients into a group with impaired endothelial function (the percent flow-mediated dilatation below -2 standard deviations of the control group) and a group with normal endothelial function (the percent flow-mediated dilatation more than -2 standard deviations of control). Logistic multiple regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of impaired endothelial function. RESULTS In Kawasaki disease patients, the percent flow-mediated dilatation was significantly lower than in the control subjects (9.8±3.6%, compared with 13.1±3.4%, p<0.01). In 13 Kawasaki disease patients (3 patients with coronary artery lesions and 10 patients without coronary artery lesions), the percent flow-mediated dilatation was below -2 standard deviations of control. Logistic multiple regression analysis showed that a febrile period of longer than 10 days during the acute phase was the significant risk factor for endothelial dysfunction (odds ratio: 8.562; 95% confidence interval: 1.366-53.68). Presence of coronary artery lesions was not a determinant of endothelial dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Systemic endothelial dysfunction exists in children with a history of Kawasaki disease, and a febrile period of longer than 10 days during the acute phase is an independent predictor of endothelial dysfunction irrespective of coronary artery involvement.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. Advanced diabetes is associated with severe complications and impaired nutritional status. Here, we assessed the expression of retinol-associated proteins, including β-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase (BCMO), lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), and cytochrome P450 26A1 (CYP26A1), and measured retinol levels in the plasma and liver of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic model rats. Compared to the levels in the control rats, retinol levels in the plasma and liver of STZ rats were decreased and increased, respectively. Hepatic expression of the LRAT gene in STZ rats was lower than that in the controls. In the liver of STZ rats, the expression of ALDH1A1, a retinal metabolizing enzyme was higher, whereas ALDH1A2 expression was lower than in the controls. Hepatic CYP26A1 expression in STZ rats was significantly higher than in the control rats. BCMO expression levels in the liver and intestine of STZ rats were much lower than those of the controls. Altered BCMO expression might affect retinol status. It is considered that the metabolic availability of retinol was lessened despite the accelerated catabolism of retinol; therefore, retinol mobilization may be unbalanced in the liver of rats in the type 1 diabetic state.

Abstract
Retinol and its derivative, retinoic acid, have pleiotropic functions including vision, immunity, hematopoiesis, reproduction, cell differentiation/growth, and development. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common diseases in developed countries and encompasses a broad spectrum of forms, ranging from steatosis to steatohepatitis, which develops further to cirrhosis. Retinol status has an important role in liver homeostasis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the retinol status and expression of retinol-related proteins, including enzymes and binding proteins, in methionine-choline deficient (MCD) rats as a model of NAFLD. We examined retinol levels in the plasma and liver and gene expression for β-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase (BCMO), lecithIn: retinol acyltransferase (LRAT), aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1), ALDH1A2, and cellular retinol binding protein (CRBP)-I in MCD rats. The plasma retinol levels in MCD rats were lower than those in the controls, whereas hepatic retinol levels in MCD rats were higher. BCMO expression in the intestine and liver in MCD rats was lower, whereas that in the testes and the kidneys was higher than in control rats. Expression of LRAT, CRBP-I, ALDH1A1, and ALDH1A2 in the liver of MCD rats was also higher. Altered expression of retinol-related proteins may affect retinol status in NAFLD.

Abstract
The number of patients with mild exophthalmos, without severe eye symptoms, who wish to undergo aesthetic orbital decompression, is increasing. Removal of the lateral and inferior orbital walls is a common procedure for mild to moderate exophthalmos. However, the limited space between the globe and the orbital wall is often troublesome for surgeons introducing surgical devices. As a result, the decompression tends to be insufficient in the posterior region of the orbit. We describe a simple adjuvant surgical technique to address this limitation. Through a laterally extended, transconjunctival approach, the inferior and lateral margins of the orbit are removed in a crescent shape before the actual decompression. This manoeuvre widens the working space and offers better visibility, enabling sufficient removal of the orbital walls. The technique presented facilitates the approach to the posterior regions of the orbit, enabling surgeons to more easily perform orbital decompression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of an isolation technique during ethanol injection sclerotherapy for venous malformations (VMs) in the head and neck region. METHODS The subjects were 23 patients with 35 VM lesions in the head and neck, treated between 1999 and 2012. The mean lesion area was 3.75 ± 3.09 cm(2) (±standard deviation). We confirmed the contour of the lesions to be treated on a fully filled image on direct injection cisternography, and observed patterns of communicating drainage to systemic veins. The cisterns were evacuated by squeezing and were isolated by manual compression of the communicators. Ethanol (94.5%) with a contrast agent was then injected into both isolable and unisolable lesions, up to a total volume of 1 mL/cm(2), avoiding complications. We investigated the relationship between lesion size and injected ethanol dose, and also dose per unit area. RESULTS Both manual evacuation by compression and isolation were performed in 20 (57.1%) isolable lesions, but not in 15 unisolable lesions. The mean injected ethanol dose was 0.65 ± 0.31 mL/cm(2) overall, 0.70 ± 0.32 in isolable and 0.59 ± 0.30 in unisolable lesions (NS). However, the injected ethanol dose was significantly lower for lesions sized >6 cm. Complete to near-complete shrinkage was observed in all isolable lesions, and in 60% of unisolable lesions (P < 0.05). Clinical outcome seemed unrelated to the injected ethanol dose or the dose per unit area. There was one case of recurrence and one complication in the unisolable lesions. No further relapses or complications were observed during the follow-up period of 38.6 ± 12.3 months. CONCLUSIONS Clinical outcome was related to the isolability not to the injected dose. The isolation appears useful for improving the safety and effectiveness of ethanol sclerotherapy for VM.

Abstract
We report a case of an 8-year-old girl with fulminant myocarditis successfully treated with percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS). She was first taken to our hospital for treatment of suspected infective enterocolitis since her main symptoms were fever, vomiting and diarrhea. On day 2 after admission, her ECG showed wide QRS and echocardiography demonstrated severe hypokinesis. She was transferred to the ICU with suspected acute myocarditis. On admission to the ICU, circulatory collapse was not detected. ECG showed severe bradycardia and ventricular fibrillation after intubation. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed immediately for 50 minutes prior to initiation of PCPS. She was treated intensively with catecholamines, plasma exchange, continuous hemodiafiltration, high-dose gamma-globulin, and high dose methylprednisolone. Hypothermia therapy was also performed. She was weaned from PCPS on day 6 after initiation of PCPS. The patient was finally discharged from the hospital without any neurological complications on day 68 after weaning from PCPS. The proportion of patients in whom cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed or having ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation were higher in non-survivors than in survivors.

Abstract
Proteus syndrome is a rare congenital hamartomatous condition that is characterised by a wide range of malformations. Skin and skeletal developmental malformations are common and may manifest as significant physical anomalies. However, few reports have discussed surgical treatment. A 37-year-old woman presented with disproportionate enlargement of the right buttock, which required volume reduction. The overgrown tissue was combined with vascular malformations, which in our patient were extremely thick. The patient experienced massive blood loss during the procedure, due to which a blood transfusion was performed. Pathological findings revealed partial lipohyperplasia with venous malformations. Thus, during operations including incomplete excision, massive bleeding is always a possibility, but is not commonly described in these instances.
