Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Whilst standard treatment for intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), those exceeding "up-to-seven" criteria don't respond as such as those within, and systemic therapy is suggested to be more beneficial. This is sought to be both because of the limited efficacy of TACE and its hepatic toxicity. Proton beam therapy (PBT) offers high local control and low toxicity rates, and we hypothesize that the same can be said in this patient group also. We here present the outcome of PBT for primary HCC exceeding "up-to-seven" criteria. MATERIALS/METHODS Primary HCC treated with PBT between 2010 and 2018 were extracted from an all-in treatment database and retrospectively reviewed. (Maximum diameter of the largest tumor in centimeters) + (tumor count) > 7 was considered as exceeding "up-to-seven" criteria. Local recurrence was defined as tumor re-enlargement or the appearance of arterial phase hyperenhancement. Adverse events were evaluated by CTCAE v5.0. Overall survival and recurrence-free survival were determined by the Kaplan-Meier method, and local recurrence was analyzed as cumulative incidence with death as a competing risk. All statistical analyses were done using R. RESULTS Out of 202 primary cases, 79 exceeded the "up-to-seven" criteria. The median tumor diameter was 8.0 cm (range 3.1 - 20 cm) and macroscopic vascular invasion (MVI) was observed in 26 cases. For tumor count, 36 were solitary, 28 were between 2 - 3, and 15 had 4 or more. According to the modified ALBI grade, 38 were grade 1, 18 were grade 2a and 23 were 2b. The prescribed dose was 66 Gy / 10 Fr for 6, 72.6 Gy / 22 Fr for 60, 74 Gy / 37 Fr for 12 and 60 Gy / 15 Fr for one case after relative biological effect weighting of 1.1. With a median follow-up period of 33 months (IQR 15 - 57 months), 2-year overall survival was 62% (95% C.I. 50 - 72%) and median survival time was 37 months (95% C.I. 30 - 52 months). 2-year recurrence-free survival and local recurrence rate were 42% (95% C.I. 30 - 53%) and 8% (95% C.I. 3 - 15%) respectively. Cox regression analysis revealed modified ALBI grade as the only significant risk factor for survival (hazard ratio 1.80, 95% C.I. 1.27 - 2.55, p = 0.0010) among age, sex, alpha-fetoprotein level, MVI, tumor count, and size. Other than one case of early death (2 weeks after treatment) with an unknown causal relationship, there were no adverse events of grade 4 or higher observed. CONCLUSION PBT for primary HCC exceeding "up-to-seven" criteria appears to be safe and effective. Local control of intrahepatic lesions may be beneficial even in intermediate-stage cases, while results of this study suggests that suppression of out-of-field recurrence is required for further survival prolongment.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Vulnerable patients receive a low-intensity, palliative treatment rather than the standard treatment. Defining vulnerability in terms of standard or reduced radiation intensity can result in appropriate radiotherapy for elderly cancer patients without excessive adverse events and poor outcomes. However, it is difficult to define vulnerability, because radiation oncologists hesitate to include vulnerable patients in clinical trials involving radical radiotherapy. We hypothesized that for elderly cancer patients without metastasis, vulnerability scores, obtained by geriatric assessment (GA), could help in predicting the reduction in radiation intensity determined by radiation oncologists based on their experience. MATERIALS/METHODS In this multicenter prospective study, we enrolled cancer patients (70 years or older) without metastasis. The reduction in radiation intensity was categorized into 3 groups as follows: i) standard schedule of radiotherapy, but conversion of irradiation fields, ii) standard irradiation fields, but converted schedule of radiotherapy, and iii) conversion of radiotherapy schedule and irradiation fields. Standard radiotherapy was defined as recommended doses and radiation fields according to the guidelines for the primary tumors analyzed. GA was performed by calculating geriatric 8 (G8) and vulnerable elders survey (VES-13) scores before radiotherapy and 3-5 and 8-16 weeks after completion of radiotherapy. The primary endpoint was to evaluate the correlation between vulnerability assessed by G8 and change in radiation intensity. RESULTS Between November 2020 and February 2022, 317 patients were included in this study at 13 centers in Japan. The median age was 77 (range, 70-90) years. The primary cancer sites were head and neck, esophagus, lungs, breasts, pancreas, bladder, uterus, and prostate in 63, 22, 62, 48, 6, 5, 26, and 85 patients, respectively. High-precision radiotherapy was performed for 199 patients (63%). Of the 31 patients (10%) whose radiation intensity was reduced, 14, 9, and 8 patients were provided i, ii, and iii category, respectively. Planned radiotherapy was completed for 312 patients (98%). G8 and VES-13 vulnerability scores were obtained for 201 and 61 patients, respectively, before radiotherapy. The mean G8 and VES-13 scores were 13.3 ± 2.4 and 1.8 ± 1.8, 12.9 ± 2.6 and 2.0 ± 2.0, and 13.4 ± 2.4 and 2.0 ± 1.9 before radiotherapy and 3-5 and 8-16 weeks after completion of radiotherapy, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that reduction in radiation intensity was significantly associated with vulnerability assessed using VES-13 (p < 0.001) but not G8 (p = 0.06). CONCLUSION An excellent completion rate was obtained for planned radiotherapy, and vulnerability assessed using VES-13, not G8, was associated with the reduction in intensity of radiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is the standard treatment for early to intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) unfit for hepatectomy or radiofrequency/microwave ablation (RFA/MWA). Putting aside its hepatic toxicity, local control of TACE is far from satisfactory, especially with non- "simple nodular type" appearances, to an extent where systemic therapy is suggested to be more beneficial. We here analyzed the outcome of proton beam therapy (PBT) for primary HCC by macroscopic classification. MATERIALS/METHODS Primary HCC treated with PBT between 2010 and 2018 were extracted from an all-in treatment database. The macroscopic classification was defined by CT or MRI prior to PBT. Local recurrence was defined as tumor re-enlargement or the appearance of arterial phase hyperenhancement. Adverse events were evaluated by CTCAE v5.0. Overall survival, local control, intrahepatic recurrence-free survival, and extrahepatic recurrence-free survival were determined by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the association with treatment factors was analyzed by log-rank and cox regression model. RESULTS A total of 202 primary HCC cases were extracted, all not a candidate for hepatectomy nor RFA/MWA. Out of them, 75 cases were simple nodular type, 79 were simple nodular type with extranodular growth, 38 were confluent multinodular type, and 10 were infiltrative type. 26 cases were HBV positive, and 84 cases were HCV positive. 35 cases had macroscopic vascular invasion (MVI). With a median follow-up period of 3.72 years (IQR: 1.79-5.85years), the 3-year overall survival rate was 68.1% (95% CI 61.0 - 74.3%), the 3-year local control rate was 89.6% (95% CI 83.4-93.5), the 3-year intrahepatic recurrence-free survival rate was 53.7% (95% CI 45.9-60.8%), and the 3-year extrahepatic recurrence-free survival rate was 87.4% (95% CI: 81.5-91.6%). Simple nodular type had better overall survival (73.2% vs 65.2% p = 0.012) and extrahepatic recurrence free survival (96.9% vs 81.9% p<0.01), but there was no statistically significant difference in local control (92.7% vs 87.6% p = 0.06) and intrahepatic recurrence-free survival (62.0% vs 48.5% p = 0.114). Multivariate analysis of risk factors against OS, including age, sex, AFP, MVI, and macroscopic classification, revealed age and macroscopic classification as independent risk factors. Adverse events of grade 3 included 2 cases of gastrointestinal bleeding, 7 cases of liver function disorder, 1 cases of biliary hemorrhage, and 1 case of pleural effusion. Other than one case of early death (2 weeks after treatment) with an unknown causal relationship, there were no adverse events of grade 4 or severe. CONCLUSION PBT for non- "simple nodular type" primary HCC appears to be safe and effective, whilst suppression of out-of-field recurrence is needed for further survival prolongment.

Abstract
AIM To clarify the usefulness and accuracy of segmental adrenal venous sampling (sAVS) on localisation and functional diagnosis of various adrenal lesions in primary aldosteronism. MATERIALS AND METHODS Consecutive patients (n=162) who underwent adrenalectomy and 138 patients indicated for medication following sAVS were analysed retrospectively. Based on immunohistopathological diagnosis, the positive predictive value (PPV) of computed tomography (CT)-detectable aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) was calculated. Moreover, endocrinological and sAVS characteristics were analysed quantitatively and qualitatively among APA, CT-undetectable aldosterone-producing nodules (APNs), multiple aldosterone-producing micronodules (MAPM), and medication groups. RESULTS The PPV of APA by sAVS was 137/141 (97.1%; 95% confidence interval, 92.9-99.2%). Compared to the medication cases, the APA group showed stronger disease activity clinically and significant differences in adrenal hormones, such as a higher aldosterone level and aldosterone-to-cortisol ratio, and lower cortisol levels in the adrenal central vein and aldosterone maximum tributaries on the dominant side after cosyntropin stimulation. The APA group shows focal aldosterone hypersecretion, such as mean number of aldosterone elevated segments (1.7 ± 0.7 versus 2 ± 0.9, p=0.003) and presence of aldosterone-not-elevated segments (93% versus 41%, p<0.001). Clinically and in terms of sAVS, APN and MAPM showed similar characteristics to APA and to the medication cases, respectively. CONCLUSION sAVS can localise functionally active tissues of CT-detectable and CT-undetectable lesions enabling decisions on surgical or medical treatment.

Abstract
Electric-toothbrush vibrations, which remove plaque, are transmitted to the gingival connective tissue via epithelial cells. Physical energy affects cell function; however, the effects of electric-toothbrush vibrations on gingival extracellular matrix (ECM) protein expression remain unknown. We aimed to examine the effects of these vibrations on the expression of ECM proteins—type I collagen (col I), type III collagen (col III), elastin, and fibronectin (FN)—using human gingival fibroblasts (HGnFs). HGnFs were seeded for 5 days in a six-well plate with a hydrophilic surface, exposed to electric-toothbrush vibrations, and cultured for 7 days. Subsequently, the mRNA and protein levels of col I, col III, elastin, and FN were examined. To investigate the role of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling on ECM protein expression in vibration-stimulated cells, the cells were treated with siRNA against protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). Electric-toothbrush vibrations increased col I, col III, elastin, and FN expression; promoted collagen and non-collagen protein production; and enhanced FAK phosphorylation in HGnFs. Moreover, PTK2 siRNA completely blocked the effects of these vibrations on the expression of col I, col III and elastin mRNA. The results suggest that electric-toothbrush vibrations increase collagen, elastin, and FN production through the FAK-signaling pathway in fibroblasts.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine whether a dental health education program would reduce cardiometabolic risk (obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia) in people with periodontitis. We used annual check-up data provided by the Japanese company's health insurance union. Of 182 male employees with cardiometabolic risk and periodontal pockets at baseline, 21 participants of the dental health education program and 21 non-participants matched for age, the presence of obesity, and periodontal pocket at baseline were allocated to the intervention (mean age, 53.3 ± 7.0) and the non-intervention groups (mean age, 52.9 ± 7.0), respectively. The program focused on self-removal of dental plaque with a toothbrush and interdental brush and comprised five sessions over 12 months. In the intervention group, waist circumference (cm) and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) decreased from 88.4 ± 6.3 to 86.8 ± 6.3 and from 85.7 ± 8.2 to 82.6 ± 8.3, respectively (P < 0.05). Intergroup comparison showed significant improvement of systolic blood pressure (mmHg) in the intervention group (-3.7 ± 12.5) compared with the non-intervention group (4.0 ± 15.9) (P < 0.05) with no significant differences in the other parameters. The intervention group had a decrease in plaque accumulation and periodontitis symptoms, such as the depth of periodontal pocket and the presence of periodontal pocket and bleeding on probing, but an increase in the frequency of interdental brushing and duration of tooth brushing. Our findings show that dental self-care may improve blood pressure in people with cardiometabolic risk factors and periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The remodeling of the vascular network and collagen in the extracellular matrix is closely associated with the expansion and dysfunction of adipose tissue. In the present study, we investigated the effects of interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α on the expression of angiogenic factors, collagen, and collagenase and its endogenous inhibitor in premature and mature adipocytes. METHODS Premature and mature adipocytes were differentiated from 3T3-L1 cells and stimulated with IL-6 or TNF-α to mimic the early and late phases of obesity development. The levels of expression of angiogenic factors, including vascular endothelial cell growth factor a (Vegfa), hepatocyte growth factor (Hgf), angiopoietin (Angpt)1, and Angpt2, as well as type I collagen, matrix metallopeptidase (Mmp) 13, and tissue inhibitor of Mmp (Timp) 1, were determined using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were grown with the culture supernatant of adipocytes stimulated with/without IL-6 or TNF-α, and the formation of tube structures was evaluated. RESULTS IL-6 and TNF-α induced the expression of Vegfa, Hgf, and Angpt2 and decreased the expression of Angpt1 in premature adipocytes, whereas, they decreased the expression of Vegfa and Hgf in mature adipocytes. The culture supernatant of IL-6- or TNF-α-stimulated premature adipocytes induced the formation of tube structures. IL-6 and TNF-α had no effects on type I collagen expression in both premature and mature adipocytes but suppressed the expression of Mmp13 and Timp1 in mature and premature adipocytes, respectively. CONCLUSION The effects of IL-6 and TNF-α on the expression of angiogenic and collagenolytic factors differed between premature and mature adipocytes. This finding suggests that these inflammatory cytokines induce expansion and dysfunction of adipose tissue via angiogenesis and collagen turnover in premature and mature adipocytes.

Abstract
AbstractThis paper reports the results of an international interlaboratory study led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on the measurement of high-pressure surface excess methane adsorption isotherms on NIST Reference Material RM 8850 (Zeolite Y), at 25 °C up to 7.5 MPa. Twenty laboratories participated in the study and contributed over one-hundred adsorption isotherms of methane on Zeolite Y. From these data, an empirical reference equation was determined, along with a 95% uncertainty interval (Uk=2). By requiring participants to replicate a high-pressure reference isotherm for carbon dioxide adsorption on NIST Reference Material RM 8852 (ZSM-5), this interlaboratory study also demonstrated the usefulness of reference isotherms in evaluating the performance of high-pressure adsorption experiments.

Abstract
Background The interplay between obesity and periodontitis has been widely examined. While obesity was reported as a risk factor for periodontitis, the inverse relationship is still little explored. Therefore, we aimed to determine whether periodontitis and toothbrushing frequency affect the onset of obesity. Material/Methods This cohort study included 1619 employees of a business enterprise headquartered in Tokyo, who in 2002 and 2006 underwent in prescribed annual health checks, both general and dental-specific, and who were not obese in 2002 (body mass index <25). The response variable was obesity (or absence) at 4 years, while the explanatory variables were presence/absence of periodontal pockets and toothbrushing frequency in 2002; their relationships were examined by multiple logistic regression analysis. Results Subjects with periodontal pockets ≥4 mm showed a significantly higher odds ratio (OR) for onset of obesity at 4 years than those without periodontal pockets [OR: 1.59, 95% CI (confidence interval): 1.08–2.35, p<0.05]. Similarly, subjects who brushed their teeth ≥3 times/day had a significantly lower obesity OR than those who brushed ≤1 time/day (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.28–0.85, p<0.01). Conclusions The presence of periodontal pockets and toothbrushing frequency are significantly associated with the onset of obesity. Periodontal pockets ≥4 mm are associated with increased risk of obesity, while frequent toothbrushing (≥3 times/day) appears to reduce the risk of obesity.

Abstract
Background: Oily fish and their extracted oils may be a source of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) which can induce toxic effects on the consumers. The main aim of this survey was estimation of PCBs intake through fish oil-derived dietary supplements and prescription drugs in the Japanese population. Methods: PCBs levels were determined in 20 fish oil-derived dietary supplements and 6 oil-derived prescription drugs from the Japanese market using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Then, the daily exposure to PCBs was estimated. Data were statistically analyzed using JMP software suite. Results: Totally, 17 of the 26 fish oil-derived products were contaminated with PCBs. The median PCB concentrations in the total set of fish oil-derived products was 2.2 ng/g oil wt. with a range of <MDL-720 ng/g oil wt. The average total daily intake of PCBs was estimated to be ranged from 770 to 2800 ng/day in the Japanese population. Conclusion: PCBs intakes through fish oil-derived dietary supplements and prescription drugs in the Japanese adults were much lower than tolerable daily intake

Abstract
Background Osteoclast precursor cells are constitutively differentiated into mature osteoclasts on bone tissues. We previously reported that the continuous stimulation of RAW264.7 precursor cells with compressive force induces the formation of multinucleated giant cells via receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK)-RANK ligand (RANKL) signaling. Here, we examined the bone resorptive function of multinucleated osteoclasts induced by continuous compressive force. Material/Methods Cells were continuously stimulated with 0.3, 0.6, and 1.1 g/cm2 compressive force created by increasing the amount of the culture solution in the presence of RANKL. Actin ring organization was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy. mRNA expression of genes encoding osteoclastic bone resorption-related enzymes was examined by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Mineral resorption was evaluated using calcium phosphate-coated plates. Results Multinucleated osteoclast-like cells with actin rings were observed for all three magnitudes of compressive force, and the area of actin rings increased as a function of the applied force. Carbonic anhydrase II expression as well as calcium elution from the calcium phosphate plate was markedly higher after stimulation with 0.6 and 1.1 g/cm2 force than 0.3 g/cm2. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression decreased and cathepsin K expression increased slightly by the continuous application of compressive force. Conclusions Our study demonstrated that multinucleated osteoclast-like cells induced by the stimulation of RAW264.7 cells with continuous compressive force exhibit high dissolution of the inorganic phase of bone by upregulating carbonic anhydrase II expression and actin ring formation. These findings improve our understanding of the role of mechanical load in bone remodeling.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many reports show that denture adhesives improve the retention and stability of dentures. However, few randomized controlled trials have examined the effects of denture adhesives. OBJECTIVE This 10-center randomized controlled trial with parallel groups involving 200 edentulous patients wearing complete dentures aimed to evaluate the effects of short-term use of cream and powder denture adhesives. METHODS Patients were allocated into 2 cream- and powder-type adhesive groups and 1 control group. Intervention groups were treated with the 2 adhesives (1 each), and the control group received saline solution. Adhesive or control was applied to the denture-mucosal surface for 4 d, and data at baseline and after day 4 of intervention (i.e., 8 meals) were obtained. Patient satisfaction was evaluated with a 100-mm visual analog scale. Oral health-related quality of life was measured with the Japanese version of the Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous Patients. Perceived chewing ability was evaluated by a questionnaire regarding ease of chewing and swallowing food. Between-group comparisons were performed with Kruskal-Wallis tests with the Mann-Whitney U test adjusted by Bonferroni correction. Within-group comparisons of pre- and postintervention measurements were performed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Intention-to-treat analysis was also performed. RESULTS Between-group comparisons showed no significant differences for general satisfaction or Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous Patients. However, significant differences in satisfaction with various denture functions with cream- and powder-type adhesives were seen in pre- and postintervention comparisons (P < 0.05). Significant differences were also observed for perceived chewing ability of hard foods (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION These results suggest that although denture adhesives do not invariably improve denture function, they do affect subjective evaluations and possibly chewing of hard foods. Therefore, the effects of denture adhesive use are insufficient to resolve any fundamental dissatisfaction with dentures ( ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01712802 ). KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER STATEMENT The results of this study suggest that denture adhesives should be applied under certain conditions; however, an appropriate diagnosis is important before application. These practice-based data provide information to establish evidence-based guidelines for applying denture adhesives.

Abstract
This paper reports the results of an international interlaboratory study led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on the measurement of high-pressure surface excess carbon dioxide adsorption isotherms on NIST Reference Material RM 8852 (ammonium ZSM-5 zeolite), at 293.15 K (20 °C) from 1 kPa up to 4.5 MPa. Eleven laboratories participated in this exercise and, for the first time, high-pressure adsorption reference data are reported using a reference material. An empirical reference equationn e x = d ( 1 + exp [ - ln ( P ) + a / b ] ) c , [n ex -surface excess uptake (mmol/g), P-equilibrium pressure (MPa), a = -6.22, b = 1.97, c = 4.73, and d = 3.87] along with the 95% uncertainty interval (U k = 2 = 0.075 mmol/g) were determined for the reference isotherm using a Bayesian, Markov Chain Monte Carlo method. Together, this zeolitic reference material and the associated adsorption data provide a means for laboratories to test and validate high-pressure adsorption equipment and measurements. Recommendations are provided for measuring reliable high-pressure adsorption isotherms using this material, including activation procedures, data processing methods to determine surface excess uptake, and the appropriate equation of state to be used.

Abstract
AIMS During orthodontic treatment, facilitating osteoclastic bone resorption in the alveolar bone exposed to the compressive force (CF) is an important factor for tooth movement. The present study investigated the effect of CF stimulation on the differentiation of RAW264.7 cells from precursors to mature osteoclasts. MAIN METHODS The cells were continuously stimulated with 0.3, 0.6, or 1.1 g/cm2 CF-which was generated by increasing the volume of culture medium in the wells of a 96-well plate-in the presence or absence of receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK) ligand (RANKL) for 4 days. KEY FINDINGS In the presence of RANKL, the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-positive multinucleated cells and the mRNA levels of dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) and osteoclast-stimulatory transmembrane protein (OC-STAMP) were increased by application of 0.6 and 1.1 g/cm2 CF as compared to 0.3 g/cm2 CF. The mRNA level of RANK was upregulated whereas that of leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein-coupled receptor (LGR)4-another RANKL receptor was downregulated by 0.6 and 1.1 g/cm2 CF as compared to 0.3 g/cm2 CF in the absence of RANKL. The proportion of cells with nuclear translocation of the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)c1 was increased by 0.6 and 1.1 g/cm2 CF in the presence of RANKL. SIGNIFICANCE Continuous application of CF induced the differentiation of RAW264.7 cells into TRAP-positive multinuclear cells by enhancing the expression of DC- and OC-STAMP and the nuclear translocation of NFATc1. This may result from the CF-induced increase in RANK and decrease in LGR4 expression.

Abstract
Acellular hemoglobin (Hb) derivates developed as oxygen carriers are known to cause hypertensive reactions due to their nitric oxide (NO) scavenging action. To modulate this undesired activity, we have developed a new Hb derivative, s-nitrosylated polyethylene glycol (PEG)-modified hemoglobin (SNO-PEG-Hb), which can deliver oxygen and NO. After human Hb was modified with PEG to increase its molecular weight, the free sulfhydryl groups of Hb were s-nitrosylated with s-nitrosoglutathione. Administration of unmodified Hb into anesthetized rats caused a hypertensive reaction, while s-nitrosylated Hb derivatives such as SNO-Hb and SNO-PEG-Hb did not raise blood pressure. The plasma half-lives of heme and NO bound to SNO-PEG-Hb were 11.5 and 2.4 hours respectively, indicating that the s-nitrosylated Hb derivative may act as a slow-releasing agent for NO. Based on these findings, SNO-PEG-Hb is a useful candidate for a blood substitute and tool for oxygen therapeutics.

Abstract
The association between obesity and inflammation is well documented in epidemiological studies. Proteolysis of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins is involved in adipose tissue enlargement, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) collectively cleave all ECM proteins. Here, we examined the effects of C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory biomarker, on the expression of MMPs and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), which are natural inhibitors of MMPs, in adipocyte-differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. We analyzed the expression of Fcγ receptor (FcγR) IIb and FcγRIII, which are candidates for CRP receptors, and the effects of anti-CD16/CD32 antibodies, which can act as FcγRII and FcγRIII blockers on CRP-induced alteration of MMP and TIMP expression. Moreover, we examined the effects of CRP on the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling, which is involved in MMP and TIMP expression, in the presence or absence of anti-CD16/CD32 antibodies. Stimulation with CRP increased MMP-1, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-11, MMP-14, and TIMP-1 expression but did not affect MMP-2, TIMP-2, and TIMP-4 expression; TIMP-3 expression was not detected. Adipocyte-differentiated 3T3-L1cells expressed FcγRIIb and FcγRIII; this expression was upregulated on stimulation with CRP. Anti-CD16/CD32 antibodies inhibited CRP-induced expression of MMPs, except MMP-11, and TIMP-1. CRP induced the phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 and p38 MAPK but did not affect SAPK/JNK phosphorylation, and Anti-CD16/CD32 attenuated the CRP-induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, but not that of ERK1/2. These results suggest that CRP facilitates ECM turnover in adipose tissue by increasing the production of multiple MMPs and TIMP-1 in adipocytes. Moreover, FcγRIIb and FcγRIII are involved in the CRP-induced expression of MMPs and TIMP-1 and the CRP-induced phosphorylation of p38, whereas the FcγR-independent pathway may regulate the CRP-induced MMP-11 expression and the CRP-induced ERK1/2 phosphorylation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies have reported that periodontitis and cardiometabolic disease such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes are associated; however, there have been very few prospective cohort studies on this topic. Therefore, we conducted a 9-year follow-up study to examine the relationship between the duration of periodontitis and cardiometabolic risk factors, including hypertension, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and obesity. METHODS The study participants comprised 572 adult industrial workers (417 men and 155 women; mean age, 37.4 years) who had undergone annual medical and dental health examinations from 2003 to 2012; the evaluation of the four cardiometabolic risk factors in 2003 revealed normal values in all the participants. We investigated the relationship between the cumulative duration of the presence of periodontal pockets, which is a major symptom of periodontitis, and the presence of cardiometabolic risk factors after 9 years using multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The odds ratio (OR) for the presence of ≥1 cardiometabolic risk factor in participants with a cumulative duration of periodontal pockets for ≥6 years was significantly higher than that in participants without pockets. The ORs for the onset of obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hyperglycemia were higher in participants with a cumulative duration of periodontal pockets for ≥6 years than those in participants without pockets or in participants with a cumulative duration of periodontal pockets for ≤5 years, and all the differences, except dyslipidemia, were significant. CONCLUSIONS Chronic periodontitis was significantly associated with having cardiometabolic risk factors during the 9-year observation period, suggesting that the risk of cardiometabolic disease might increase in people who have untreated periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of a neutron beam formed with the accelerator-based epithermal neutron source designed at the G.I. Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (INP) on the viability of human and animal tumor cells cultured in the presence of boron-10 isotope. MATERIAL AND METHODS Human U251 and T98G glioma cells and Chinese hamster CHO-K1 and V-79 cells were incubated at various concentrations in the culture medium containing 10B-enriched L-boronophenylalanine. The cells were irradiated with a neuron beam using the accelerator-based epithermal neuron source. A clonogenic assay was used to evaluate the viability of the irradiated cells. The absorbed doses obtained from elastic scattering of fast neutrons by substance nuclei and the doses obtained from boron neutron capture were calculated using the NMS code. The absorbed doses of gamma-radiation were measured with a mixed radiation dosimeter. RESULTS The viability of boron-containing and intact human U251 and T98G cell lines and Chinese hamster CHO-K1 and V-79 cells was analyzed after neutron beam radiation. Irradiation of all four cell lines were cultured in the presence of 10B was shown to reduce their colony-forming capacity compared with the control. Elevated boron levels in the culture medium resulted in a significant decrease in the proportion of survived cells. Radiation had the most pronounced impact on the proliferative capacity of the human U251 glioma cell lines. CONCLUSION The cultures of human tumor cells and mammalian cells demonstrated that the neutron beam formed with the accelerator-based epithermal neutron source designed at the INP, was effective in reducing the viability of tumor cells in the presence of 10B.

Abstract
Seventy four cases of internal carotid stenoses greater than 60% were treated by PTA and/or stenting 86 times. Sixty one cases of cervical ICA stenosis were treated 71 times. 11 cases of high cervical - intracranial ICA stenosis were treated 13 times. Two cases of ICA dissection were treated by stent deployment. Stenotic ratio reduced from 79% to 29% in cervical ICA stenosis and 71 % to 32% in high cervical to intracranial ICA stenosis in average. Morbidity related to PTA and/or stenting was 2/74 (2.7%) and mortality was 0%. One was an ischemic complication and the other was a hemorrhagic complication due to hyperperfusion. Restenosis (stenosis greater than 70%) rate was 32%. Asymptomatic cerebral embolism were found in three cases (4.2%) on angiogram immediately after PTA and/or stenting. The complication rate related to PTA and/stenting was low but asymptomatic emboli were found in three cases. Considering these results, the indication for PTA and/stenting should be restricted to patients with high risk group, such as cases with high medical risks or difficult CEA cases, if appropriate protective systems for cerebral emboli were not available.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At the time of kidney transplantation (KT), almost all patients have anemia caused by low levels of endogenous erythropoietin (EPO), along with several other factors. After KT, anemia improves because of secretion of EPO from the allograft. But some recipients have persistent anemia. Whether or not erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) hypo-responsiveness before KT affects post-transplant anemia (PTA) remains unknown. METHODS Sixty-eight patients received KT between January 2007 and July 2012 through the Department of Urology at Kobe University Hospital, and 35 of these patients were enrolled. Exclusion criteria included age <18 years, unknown ESA dosage at transplantation, ESA start within 1 year after transplantation, and other criteria. We evaluated post-transplant hemoglobin (Hb) levels from the pre-transplant ESA responsive index (ERI): pre-transplant ESA dosage/Hb × body weight at 1 year after transplantation. RESULTS The mean (± SD) Hb of all patients rose from 11.3 ± 1.0 mg/dL to 12.7 ± 1.4 mg/dL at 1 year after transplantation (P < .01). The pre-transplant low ERI group (<10) showed significantly higher hemoglobin levels compared with the pre-transplant high ERI group (≥ 10; 12.9 ± 1.14 mg/dL versus 11.8 ± 1.76 mg/dL, respectively; P = .03). CONCLUSIONS ESA hypo-responsiveness before KT carried over after KT. Low pre-transplant ERI might be a sentinel marker for PTA.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), a nonimmunogenic, biocompatible polymer found in different biological tissues, has the potential to attach to CD44 receptors on the surface of certain cancer cells, where the receptor is overexpressed compared with normal cells. Boron-hyaluronic acid (BHA) was tested for its feasibility as a potential agent for BNCT. BHA with low-viscosity 30 kDa HA could be administered by intravenous injection. The compound showed a certain degree of cytotoxicity and accumulation in C6 rat glioma cells in vitro. Instability of the chelate bonds between boron and HA and/or insufficient specificity of CD44 receptors on C6 cells to BHA could account for the insufficient in vitro accumulation. To ensure the future eligibility of BHA for BNCT experiments, using alternative tumor cell lines and chemically securing the chelate bonds or synthesizing BHA with boron covalently attached to HA might be required.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Angiotensin II (Ang II) not only regulates systemic blood pressure through a vasoconstrictive effect, but also promotes bone resorption. We recently reported that Ang II (10(-6) M) stimulated the production of matrix metalloproteinases via the AT1 receptor in osteoblastic ROS17/2.8 cells, but suppressed alkaline phosphatase activity. However, the roles of Ang II in osteoblastic differentiation and the function of osteogenesis in osteoblasts are unclear. Therefore, we examined the effect of Ang II on the expression of osteogenesis-related transcription factors and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, as well as mineralized nodule formation in ROS17/2.8 cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS ROS17/2.8 cells were cultured with 0 (control) or 10(-6) M Ang II in the presence or absence of the AT1 receptor blocker losartan. Mineralized nodule formation was detected by Alizarin Red staining. Gene and protein expression levels of transcription factors and ECM proteins were determined using real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. RESULTS Runx2, Msx2, and osteocalcin expression significantly decreased with Ang II compared to the control, whereas AJ18 expression significantly increased. Osterix, Dlx5, type I collagen, bone sialoprotein, and osteopontin expression was unaffected. Mineralized nodule formation and calcium content in mineralized nodules decreased with Ang II. Losartan blocked suppressive or stimulatory effects of Ang II on Runx2, Msx2, osteocalcin, and AJ18 expression. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that Ang II suppresses osteoblastic differentiation by altering the expression of osteogenesis-related transcription factors via the AT1 receptor and the function of osteogenesis in ROS17/2.8 cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), produced by osteoblasts, catalyze the turnover of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules in osteoid, and the regulation of MMP activity depends on interactions between MMPs and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). We focused on the degradation process of ECM in osteoid that was exposed to mechanical strain, and conducted an in vitro study using MC3T3-E1 osteoblastic cells to examine the effects of tension force (TF) on the expression of MMPs and TIMPs, and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. DESIGN Cells were incubated on flexible-bottomed culture plates and stimulated with or without cyclic TF for 24 hours. The expression of MMPs and TIMPs was examined at mRNA and protein levels by real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, p38 MAPK, and stress-activated protein kinases/c-jun N-terminal kinases (SAPK/JNK) were examined by Western blotting. RESULTS TF decreased the expression of MMP-1, -3, -13 and phosphorylated ERK1/2. In contrast, TF increased the expression of TIMP-2, -3 and phosphorylated SAPK/JNK. The expression of MMP-2, -14, TIMP-1, -4 and phosphorylated p38 MAPK was unaffected by TF. MMP-1, -3 and -13 expression decreased in cells treated with the ERK inhibitor PD98059 compared with untreated control cells. The JNK inhibitor SP600125 inhibited the TF-induced upregulation of TIMP-2 and -3. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that TF suppresses the degradation process that occurs during ECM turnover in osteoid via decreased production of MMP-1, -3 and -13, and increased production of TIMP-2 and -3 through the MAPK signaling pathways in osteoblasts.

Abstract
The ejection of triatomic hydrogen molecular ions HD2(+) and D3(+) from CD3OH(2+) is investigated by first-principle molecular dynamics simulation. Two C-D chemical bonds are found to be broken to form a neutral D2 moiety that vibrates, rotates, and moves for a relatively long period of time (20-330 fs) towards a transition state leading to the ejection of HD2(+) or D3(+). The formation of such a long-lived neutral D2 moiety within a hydrocarbon molecule interprets well the recent experimental findings of the long lifetime of doubly charged energized hydrocarbon molecules prior to the ejection of H3(+).
