Abstract
This study evaluated the stability of bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) associated with positional plagiocephaly and temporal and masseter muscles using posteroanterior cephalogram analysis and three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT). This retrospective cohort study included 31 patients who underwent BSSRO for mandibular asymmetry. The cranial vault asymmetry index (CVAI) and the cephalic index were used as indicators of positional plagiocephaly. The distance from the vertical reference line to the menton (Me) was measured on posteroanterior cephalograms immediately and 1 year after surgery, and postoperative stability was assessed. Temporal and masseter muscles were constructed from 3D-CT data and their volumes were measured. Simple regression analysis showed a significant correlation between postoperative changes in the vertical reference line to the Me and the CVAI (R = 0.56, p = 0.001), the amount of surgical movement in the vertical reference line to the Me (R = 0.41, p = 0.023), and the variable temporal muscle volume (R = 0.27, p = 0.028). There was no significant correlation between postoperative changes in the vertical reference line to the Me and the cephalic index (R = 0.093, p = 0.62) and variable masseter muscle volume (R = 0.16, p = 0.38). According to multivariate analysis, CVAI (p = 0.003) and amount of surgical movement in the vertical reference line to the Me (p = 0.014) were significant predictors of postoperative change in the vertical reference line to the Me. Positional plagiocephaly and amount of surgical movement influence lateral skeletal stability following BSSRO for mandibular asymmetry.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Radiotherapy is considered the standard treatment for advanced cervical cancer. It is known that irradiation changes the morphology of tumor cells during the treatment, though its clinical significance is unknown. Recently, the usefulness of machine learning using medical images has been reported, as also as pathological images. The purpose of this study is to create a classification model for cervical tumor biopsy treated with radiotherapy, visualized on whole slide images using machine learning, in an attempt to explore the clinical significance of morphology changes during radiotherapy. MATERIALS/METHODS Cervical cancer patients who underwent radical irradiation with both pre- and mid-treatment biopsy from April 1, 2013, to December 1, 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. Tumor biopsies were Hematoxylin and eosin stained and digitized to whole slide images (WSIs). WSI s were divided into tiles of 224 × 224 pixels and converted into feature vectors using a pre-trained convolutional neural network (densenet121). A training and test dataset were divided 1:1 on a patient basis, and the model was trained to classify "pre-treatment" and "mid-treatment", and its accuracy was evaluated. The probability obtained from the classification model was defined as the radiation change index (RCI), and its color map was projected on the WSI for visualization. Survival analysis was performed to examine the clinical significance of the RCI values. RESULTS A total of eighty-four patients were analyzed, and the median observation period was 3.2 years. 184 WSIs were obtained, and 2203407 tiles were generated. The classification model was trained using 2500 tiles for each "pre-treatment" and "mid-treatment". The accuracy of the classification model was 70.8 %, with an AUC of 0.77 for the ROC curve. The probability obtained from the classification model was defined as RCI, with 0 being "pre-treatment" and 1 being "mid-treatment", and the mean RCI of "pre-treatment" and "mid-treatment" were 0.38 and 0.61, respectively. When the RCIs were visualized with a color map, the areas considered to be "pre-treatment" were consistent with a viable tumor component, and the areas considered to be "mid-treatment" were consistent with fibrosis supposed to cause by irradiation. To evaluate the clinical significance of RCI, we divide the clinical cohort into two groups with a threshold mean RCI of 0.4 in the pre-treatment biopsy. The disease-free survival was 91 months and 47 months in the RCI<0.4 and RCI≥0.4 groups, respectively. CONCLUSION We created a model to classify tissues before and during radiotherapy and successfully visualized it on slide images. The low RCI group before treatment had a better prognosis than the high RCI group, suggesting that the tumor morphologic features obtained by machine learning may be useful for prognosis prediction. Further studies are planned to develop a model that can accurately predict prognosis.

Abstract
Fast ions play a crucial role in plasma heating, and their behavior in the plasma must be accurately understood. A diagnostics method based on charge exchange emission from the n = 4 - 3 transition (λ0 = 468.6 nm) of energetic 3He produced by the deuteron-deuteron reaction has been proposed as a for fast deuterons with energies in the order of MeV. The proposed method has the following advantages: No beam emission interferes with the spectra, the direction of the measuring line of sight, and the injection angle of the diagnostic beam can be freely determined. In previous studies, due to competing bremsstrahlung, it was expected that the proposed method will not be practical in the case of high electron density operation. This paper makes the proposed method available for measurement even at high electron densities by optimizing the measurement line of sight direction and the diagnostic beam incidence angle. This allows an electron density five times larger than the range of applications shown in previous studies. This result will contribute to measure of DT alpha in ITER.

Abstract
The A-site layer-ordered double perovskite SmBaFe2O6 was obtained by topochemical of oxidizing A-site layer-ordered SmBaFe2O5 in ozone at a low temperature. The compound contained unusually high and mixed valence Fe3.5+ and was found to show cascade charge transitions, described as SmBaFe3.5+2O6 → SmBa(Fe3+Fe4+)O6 → SmBa(Fe3+Fe(4-δ)+0.5Fe(4+δ)+0.5)O6 → SmBa(Fe3+1.5Fe5+0.5)O6, to relieve its electronic instability. The first Verwey-like charge-order transition occurred at 340 K and was accompanied by a significant structural change and a sudden increase in magnetic susceptibility. The following transition was the charge disproportionation of metastable Fe4+ to Fe3+ and Fe5+, and each of the spins resulted in the antiferromagnetic ground state. The most plausible charge-ordered patterns are proposed based on the electrostatic lattice energy calculations.

Abstract
CdMnO3 had not been previously reported and was a missing piece in the A2+Mn4+O3 series. We succeeded in synthesizing this compound by a high-pressure method and confirmed that it is crystallized in a distorted perovskite structure with a Cd2+Mn4+O3 charge configuration. The obtained insulating CdMnO3 exhibits an antiferromagnetic transition at about 86 K. First-principles calculations revealed that the Mn4+ (t2g3) spins form a C-type antiferromagnetic structure, which is in sharp contrast to the G-type antiferromagnetism in the isostructural and isoelectronic CaMnO3. Significant overlap of the Mn-3d and O(2)-2p orbitals produces distorted octahedra with a large Mn-O(1)-Mn tilt and induces antiferromagnetic couplings in the ac plane and the ferromagnetic couplings along the b axis.

Abstract
The ablation and assimilation of cryogenic pure H_{2} and mixed H_{2}+Ne pellets, which are foreseen to be used by the ITER tokamak for mitigating thermal and electromagnetic loads of major disruptions, are observed by spatially and temporally resolved measurements. It is experimentally demonstrated that a small fraction (here ≈5%) of neon added to hydrogenic pellets enhances the core density assimilation with reduced outward transport for the low magnetic-field side injection. This is consistent with theoretical expectations that line radiation increased by doped neon in dense plasmoids suppresses the plasmoid pressure and reduces the E[over →]×B[over →] transport of the ablated material.

Abstract
Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is defined as lymph node metastasis without a detectable origin until after the initial treatment has been performed. The most common occult primary site in the head and neck, as revealed by a review of the published literature, is the oropharynx. An occult primary site in the oral region is extremely rare. We report a rare case of head and neck CUP (HNCUP) in a 69-year-old female patient, wherein the occult primary lesion was a primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC) invading the anterior maxilla. During the course of the initial diagnostic workup, no primary lesion could be identified; however, cervical lymph node metastasis to left levels IB and IIA were observed in the patient. A neck dissection followed by adjuvant radiotherapy was performed. However, the PIOC of the anterior maxilla was identified 6 months after neck treatment and was confirmed as the occult primary tumour of the HNCUP. This case is quite rare and required a comprehensive workup to guide optimal treatment. Careful follow-up or active biopsy should be considered if osteolytic changes are observed in the jaw.

Abstract
Melanin is an organic material biosynthesized from tyrosine in pigment-producing cells. The present study reports a simple method to generate tailored functional materials in mammalian cells by chemically fabricating intracellular melanin. Our approach exploits synthetic tyrosine derivatives to hijack the melanin biosynthesis pathway in pigment-producing cells. Its application was exemplified by synthesizing and using a paramagnetic tyrosine derivative, m-YR, which endowed melanoma cells with responsiveness to external magnetic fields. The mechanical force generated by the magnet-responsive melanin forced the cells to elongate and align parallel to the magnetic power lines. Critically, even non-pigment cells were similarly remote-controlled by external magnetic fields once engineered to express tyrosinase and treated with m-YR, suggesting the versatility of the approach. The present methodology may potentially provide a new avenue for mechanobiology and magnetogenetic studies and a framework for magnetic control of specific cells.

Abstract
Dependence on lithium-ion batteries for automobile applications is rapidly increasing. The emerging use of anionic redox can boost the energy density of batteries, but the fundamental origin of anionic redox is still under debate. Moreover, to realize anionic redox, many reported electrode materials rely on manganese ions through π-type interactions with oxygen. Here, through a systematic experimental and theoretical study on a binary system of Li3NbO4-NiO, we demonstrate for the first time the unexpectedly large contribution of oxygen to charge compensation for electrochemical oxidation in Ni-based materials. In general, for Ni-based materials, e.g., LiNiO2, charge compensation is achieved mainly by Ni oxidation, with a lower contribution from oxygen. In contrast, for Li3NbO4-NiO, oxygen-based charge compensation is triggered by structural disordering and σ-type interactions with nickel ions, which are associated with a unique environment for oxygen, i.e., a linear Ni-O-Ni configuration in the disordered system. Reversible anionic redox with a small hysteretic behavior was achieved for LiNi2/3Nb1/3O2 with a cation-disordered Li/Ni arrangement. Further Li enrichment in the structure destabilizes anionic redox and leads to irreversible oxygen loss due to the disappearance of the linear Ni-O-Ni configuration and the formation of unstable Ni ions with high oxidation states. On the basis of these results, we discuss the possibility of using σ-type interactions for anionic redox to design advanced electrode materials for high-energy lithium-ion batteries.

Abstract
The role of turbulence in setting boundary plasma conditions is presently a key uncertainty in projecting to fusion energy reactors. To robustly diagnose edge turbulence, we develop and demonstrate a technique to translate brightness measurements of HeI line radiation into local plasma fluctuations via a novel integrated deep learning framework that combines neutral transport physics and collisional radiative theory for the 33D - 23P transition in atomic helium with unbounded correlation constraints between the electron density and temperature. The tenets for experimental validity are reviewed, illustrating that this turbulence analysis for ionized gases is transferable to both magnetized and unmagnetized environments with arbitrary geometries. Based on fast camera data on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak, we present the first two-dimensional time-dependent experimental measurements of the turbulent electron density, electron temperature, and neutral density, revealing shadowing effects in a fusion plasma using a single spectral line.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Is there a relation between specific Na+/K+ ATPase isoform expression and localization in human blastocysts and the developmental behavior of the embryo? SUMMARY ANSWER Na+/K+ ATPase α1, β1 and β3 are the main isoforms expressed in human blastocysts and no association was found between the expression level of their respective mRNAs and the rate of blastocyst expansion. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY In mouse embryos, Na+/K+ ATPase α1 and β1 are expressed in the basolateral membrane of trophectoderm (TE) cells and are believed to be involved in blastocoel formation (cavitation). STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION A total of 20 surplus embryos from 11 patients who underwent IVF and embryo transfer at a university hospital between 2009 and 2018 were analyzed. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS After freezing and thawing Day 5 human blastocysts, their developmental behavior was observed for 24 h using time-lapse imaging, and the expression of Na+/K+ ATPase isoforms was examined using quantitative RT-PCR (RT-qPCR). The expressed isoforms were then localized in blastocysts using fluorescent immunostaining. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE RT-qPCR results demonstrated the expression of Na+/K+ ATPase α1, β1 and β3 isoforms in human blastocysts. Isoforms α1 and β3 were localized to the basolateral membrane of TE cells, and β1 was localized between TE cells. A high level of β3 mRNA expression correlated with easier hatching (P = 0.0261). LARGE SCALE DATA N/A. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The expression of mRNA and the localization of proteins of interest were verified, but we have not been able to perform functional analysis. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Of the various Na+/K+ ATPase isoforms, expression levels of the α1, β1 and β3 mRNAs were clearly higher than other isoforms in human blastocysts. Since α1 and β3 were localized to the basolateral membrane via fluorescent immunostaining, we believe that these subunits contribute to the dilation of the blastocoel. The β1 isoform is localized between TE cells and may be involved in tight junction formation, as previously reported in mouse embryos.

Abstract
Transcutaneous drug delivery is a promising method in terms of drug repositioning and reformulation because of its non-invasive and easy-to-use features. To overcome the skin barrier, which is the biggest challenge in transcutaneous drug delivery, a number of techniques, such as microemulsion, solid-in-oil dispersions and liposomes, have been studied extensively. However, the low viscosity of these formulations limits drug retention on the skin and reduces patient acceptability. Although viscosity can be increased by adding a thickening reagent, such an addition often alters formulation nanostructures and drug solubility, and importantly, decreases skin permeability. In this study, a gel-like lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) was used as a tool to enhance skin permeability. In particular, we prepared 1-monolinolein (ML)-based LLCs with different water contents. All LLCs significantly enhanced skin permeation of a peptide drug, an epitope peptide of melanoma, despite their high viscoelasticity. Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopic analysis of the skin surface treated with the LLCs revealed that the gyroid geometry more strongly interacted with the lamellar structure inside the stratum corneum (SC) than the diamond geometry. Finally, as the result of the in vivo tumor challenge experiment using B16F10 melanoma-bearing mice, the LLC with the gyroid geometry showed stronger vaccine effect against tumor than a subcutaneous injection. Collectively, ML-based LLCs, especially with the gyroid geometry, are a promising strategy to deliver biomacromolecules into skin. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Transcutaneous drug delivery is a promising method for drug repositioning and reformulation because of its non-invasive and easy-to-use features. To overcome the skin barrier, which is the biggest challenge in transcutaneous drug delivery, we used a gel-like lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) as a novel tool to enhance skin permeability. In this paper, we demonstrated that an LLC with a specific liquid crystalline structure has the highest skin permeation enhancement effect for a peptide antigen as a model drug. Moreover, the peptide antigen-loaded LLC showed a vaccine effect that was comparable to a subcutaneous injection in vivo. This study provides a basis for designing a transcutaneous delivery system of peptide drugs with LLC.

Abstract
We discovered new B-site-ordered double perovskites Ln2LiFeO6 (Ln = La, Nd, Sm, and Eu) with most likely unusually high valence Fe5+, which was stabilized by strong oxidizing high-pressure synthesis. Despite large antiferromagnetic interactions between Fe5+ spins in these compounds, the magnetic ordering is strongly suppressed due to the geometrical frustration of Fe5+ located in a face-centered cubic lattice. In addition, canted magnetic structures are stabilized only in those with Ln = Sm and Eu, which is most likely due to significant Dzyaloshinskii Moriya interaction caused by large monoclinic structural distortion. These results provide a deep understanding of the structure-property relationships in geometrically frustrated B-site-ordered double perovskites.

Abstract
The mammalian cell nucleus is a highly organized organelle that contains membrane-less structures referred to as nuclear bodies (NBs). Some NBs carry specific RNA types that play architectural roles in their formation. Here, we show two types of RNase-sensitive DBC1-containing NBs, DBC1 nuclear body (DNB) in HCT116 cells and Sam68 nuclear body (SNB) in HeLa cells, that exhibit phase-separated features and are constructed using RNA polymerase I or II transcripts in a cell type–specific manner. We identified additional protein components present in DNB by immunoprecipitation–mass spectrometry, some of which (DBC1 and heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein L [HNRNPL]) are required for DNB formation. The rescue experiment using the truncated HNRNPL mutants revealed that two RNA-binding domains and intrinsically disordered regions of HNRNPL play significant roles in DNB formation. All these domains of HNRNPL promote in vitro droplet formation, suggesting the need for multivalent interactions between HNRNPL and RNA as well as proteins in DNB formation.

Abstract
Molecular subtyping in gastrointestinal stromal tumours is a useful method for predicting the efficacy of treatment using tyrosine kinase inhibitors in humans. However, owing to the paucity of reports on mutational analyses, the association between genetic mutations and the therapeutic response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors remains unclear in feline gastrointestinal stromal tumours. In this report, we describe the case of a cat with a gastrointestinal stromal tumour which was unresponsive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. A mutational analysis revealed that the cat lacked mutations in both the KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRA) genes. Our findings are consistent with the fact that KIT/PDGFRA wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumours are less responsive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in humans. This signifies the need for further evaluation and possibly individualised treatment for gastrointestinal stromal tumours in cats on the basis of mutational analyses.

Abstract
Caloric effects of solids can provide us with innovative refrigeration systems more efficient and environment-friendly than the widely-used conventional vapor-compression cooling systems. Exploring novel caloric materials is challenging but critically important in developing future technologies. Here we discovered that the quadruple perovskite structure ferrimagnet BiCu3Cr4O12 shows large multiple caloric effects at the first-order charge transition occurring around 190 K. Large latent heat and the corresponding isothermal entropy change, 28.2 J K-1 kg-1, can be utilized by applying both magnetic fields (a magnetocaloric effect) and pressure (a barocaloric effect). Adiabatic temperature changes reach 3.9 K for the 50 kOe magnetic field and 4.8 K for the 4.9 kbar pressure, and thus highly efficient thermal controls are achieved in multiple ways.

Abstract
The antiferromagnetic behavior of Fe3+ oxides of composition RE1.2Ba1.2Ca0.6Fe3O8, RE2.2Ba3.2Ca2.6Fe8O21, and REBa2Ca2Fe5O13 (RE = Gd, Tb) is highly influenced by the type of oxygen polyhedron around the Fe3+ cations and their ordering, which is coupled with the layered RE/Ba/Ca arrangement within the perovskite-related structure. Determination of the magnetic structures reveals different magnetic moments associated with Fe3+ spins in the different oxygen polyhedra (octahedron, tetrahedron, and square pyramid). The structural aspects impact on the strength of the Fe-O-Fe superexchange interactions and, therefore, on the Néel temperature (TN) of the compounds. The oxides present an interesting transition from three-dimensional (3D) to two-dimensional (2D) magnetic behavior above TN. The 2D magnetic interactions are stronger within the FeO6 octahedra layers than in the FeO4 tetrahedra layers.

Abstract
The fast deuteron (non-Maxwellian component) diagnostic method, which is based on the higher resolution optical spectroscopic measurement, has been developed as a powerful tool. Owing to a decrease in the D-H charge-exchange cross section, the diagnostic ability of conventional optical diagnostic methods should be improved for ∼MeV energy deuterons. Because the 3He-H charge-exchange cross section is much larger than that of D-H in the ∼MeV energy range, the visible light (VIS) spectrum of 3He produced by the dueteron-dueteron (DD) reaction may be a useful tool. Although the density of 3He is small because it is produced via the DD reaction, improvement of the emissivity of the VIS spectrum of 3He can be expected by using a high-energy beam. We evaluate the VIS spectrum of 3He for the cases when a fast deuteron tail is formed and not formed in the ITER-like beam injected deuterium plasma. Even when the beam energy is in the MeV energy range, a large change appears in the half width at half maximum of the VIS spectrum. The emissivity of the VIS spectrum of 3He and the emissivity of bremsstrahlung are compared, and the measurable VIS spectrum is obtained. It is shown that the VIS spectrum of 3He is a useful tool for the MeV beam deuteron tail diagnostics.

Abstract
Two hexagonal-perovskite-structure oxides, 21R Ba7Fe5Ge2O20 and 12H Ba6Fe3Ge3O17, were obtained by synthesis with a high-pressure and high-temperature technique. The Fe-containing hexagonal-perovskite-structure units are sandwiched by nonmagnetic GeO4 tetrahedral layers in the structures, and thus both compounds show two-dimensional ferrimagnetic behaviors due to intra- and interunit magnetic interactions. 21R Ba7Fe5Ge2O20 has the ionic formula Ba7Fe123+Fe24+Fe324+Ge424+O20 at room temperature, and unusually high valence Fe4+ in the trimers undergoes charge disproportionation, Fe24+ + 2Fe34+ → Fe2(4+2δ)+ + 2Fe3(4-δ)+, at low temperatures. In contrast, 12H Ba6Fe3Ge3O17 with ionic formula Ba6Fe123+(Fe20.54+Ge20.54+)2Ge324+O17 does not show a charge transition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE With the increasing use of the Pipeline Embolization Device for the treatment of aneurysms, predictors of clinical and angiographic outcomes are needed. This study aimed to identify predictors of incomplete occlusion at last angiographic follow-up. MATERIALS AND METHODS In our retrospective, single-center cohort study, 105 ICA aneurysms in 89 subjects were treated with Pipeline Embolization Devices. Patients were followed per standardized protocol. Clinical and angiographic outcomes were analyzed. We introduced a new morphologic classification based on the included angle of the parent artery against the neck location: outer convexity type (included angle, <160°), inner convexity type (included angle, >200°), and lateral wall type (160° ≤ included angle ≤200°). This classification reflects the metal coverage rate and flow dynamics. RESULTS Imaging data were acquired in 95.3% of aneurysms persistent at 6 months. Complete occlusion was achieved in 70.5%, and incomplete occlusion, in 29.5% at last follow-up. Multivariable regression analysis revealed that 60 years of age or older (OR, 5.70; P = .001), aneurysms with the branching artery from the dome (OR, 10.56; P = .002), fusiform aneurysms (OR, 10.2; P = .009), and outer convexity-type saccular aneurysms (versus inner convexity type: OR, 30.3; P < .001; versus lateral wall type: OR, 9.71; P = .001) were independently associated with a higher rate of incomplete occlusion at the last follow-up. No permanent neurologic deficits or rupture were observed in the follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS The aneurysm neck located on the outer convexity is a new, incomplete occlusion predictor, joining older age, fusiform aneurysms, and aneurysms with the branching artery from the dome. No permanent neurologic deficits or rupture was observed in the follow-up, even with incomplete occlusion.

Abstract
The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) started the Research and Development (R&D) to improve nuclear prediction techniques for High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGRs). The objectives are to introduce a generalized bias factor method to avoid full mock-up experiment for the first commercial HTGR and to introduce reactor noise analysis to High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) experiment to observe sub-criticality. To achieve the objectives, the reactor core of graphite-moderation system named B7/4”G2/8”p8EUNU+3/8”p38EU(1) was newly composed in the B-rack of Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA). The core is composed of the fuel assembly, driver fuel assembly, graphite reflector, and polyethylene reflector. The fuel assembly is composed of enriched uranium plate, natural uranium plate and graphite plates to realize the average fuel enrichment of HTTR and it’s spectrum. However, driver fuel assembly is necessary to achieve the criticality with the small-sized core. The core plays a role of the reference core of the bias factor method, and the reactor noise was measured to develop the noise analysis scheme. In this study, the overview of the criticality experiments is reported. The reactor configuration with graphite moderation system is rare case in the KUCA experiments, and this experiment is expected to contribute not only for an HTGR development but also for other types of a reactor in the graphite moderation system such as a molten salt reactor development.

Abstract
Optically generated excitonic states (excitons and trions) in transition metal dichalcogenides are highly sensitive to the electronic and magnetic properties of the materials underneath. Modulation and control of the excitonic states in a novel van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure of monolayer MoSe2 on double-layered perovskite Mn oxide ((La0.8 Nd0.2 )1.2 Sr1.8 Mn2 O7 ) is demonstrated, wherein the Mn oxide transforms from a paramagnetic insulator to a ferromagnetic metal. A discontinuous change in the exciton photoluminescence intensity via dielectric screening is observed. Further, a relatively high trion intensity is discovered due to the charge transfer from metallic Mn oxide under the Curie temperature. Moreover, the vdW heterostructures with an ultrathin h-BN spacer layer demonstrate enhanced valley splitting and polarization of excitonic states due to the proximity effect of the ferromagnetic spins of Mn oxide. The controllable h-BN thickness in vdW heterostructures reveals a several-nanometer-long scale of charge transfer as well as a magnetic proximity effect. The vdW heterostructure allows modulation and control of the excitonic states via dielectric screening, charge carriers, and magnetic spins.

Abstract
Background:Methods of preventing pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are controversial. Previous studies have verified the efficacy and safety of trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) in patients with rheumatic diseases1. However, as for SLE, some clinicians advise against prescribing TMP-SMX because sulfa allergy is reportedly more common in SLE than in other rheumatic diseases2, 3. Anecdotally, sulfonamides may also worsen SLE itself, but few data are available on lupus flares related to sulfonamides3.Objectives:This study aimed to assess the incidences of adverse effects and disease flare due to PCP prophylaxis with TMP-SMX in SLE patients.Methods:SLE patients seen at our hospital between September 2010 and April 2018 who received TMP-SMX as a PCP prophylaxis were enrolled. The clinical manifestations, treatment course, adverse drug reactions, and occurrence of lupus flares were retrospectively assessed from the medical records. The Naranjo adverse drug reaction probability scale4 was used to determine whether the reactions were induced by SMX-TMP. According to the British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) 2004 index, a severe flare of lupus was defined as a development of a new grade A manifestation, and a moderate flare as a development of grade B manifestation following grade C, D or E. Two board-certificated rheumatologists reviewed the medical records in a blinded fashion to determine the reason for the flare, with disagreement resolved by consensus.Results:In total, 188 SLE patients were enrolled; of these, 117 (62.2%) had no adverse events and were able to continue taking SMX-TMP as needed. Seventy-one patients (37.8%) stopped SMX-TMP due to suspected adverse drug reactions, including fever, rash, liver function disorder, and cytopenia. The Naranjo scale indicated “definite” in 4, “probable” in 39, and “possible” in 28. Eighteen-patients restarted the SMX-TMP and 9 patients could continue the prophylaxis without adverse effects. Five patients were hospitalized to treat the adverse events: 3 with drug rash (concomitant use of hydroxychloroquine in 2), 1 with hypersensitivity (concomitant use of azathioprine) and 1 with hyponatremia, respectively.Lupus flares occurred in 10 patients (5.3%) within one month after the start of the the SMX-TMP prophylaxis. Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) or neuropsychiatric SLE occurred in 9 of them. Of 188 cases, 2 patients (1.1%) developed a new onset of MAS during the stable clinical course as the flare, which was considered due to SMX-TMP. Confounding factors, including high disease activity and the reduction of glucocorticoids, were identified in other 8 flares.Conclusion:PCP prophylaxis with SMX-TMP was tolerable in most SLE patients. However, a small number of SLE patients developed severe adverse effects or disease flares due to the SMX-TMP.References:[1]Park JW, et al.

Abstract
B-site-layer-ordered double perovskite Ca2FeMnO6 with unusually high valence Fe4+ was found to exhibit unusual oxygen-release behaviors, contrasting with those of the B-site-disordered perovskite having the identical chemical composition. During heating, the B-site-layer-ordered compound shows a stepwise oxygen release with successive valence changes from Fe4+ to Fe3+ through an intermediate Fe3.5+, whereas the B-site-disordered compound releases oxygen in a single step. The oxygen in Ca2FeMnO6 is released only from the two-dimensional Fe layers, and this selective oxygen release stabilizes the intermediate Fe3.5+ phase with in-plane-oxygen-vacancy ordering. Therefore, the B-site order/disorder strongly affects the oxygen-release behaviors associated with the oxygen-vacancy ordering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Use of isolation precautions (IP) may represent a trade-off between reduced transmission of infectious pathogens and reduced patient satisfaction with their care. OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to identify if and how IPs impact patients' care experiences. DATA SOURCES Medline, ClinicalTrials.gov, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Embase, PsychInfo, HSRProj and Cochrane Library databases. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Interventional and observational studies published January 1990 to May 2019 were eligible for inclusion. PARTICIPANTS Patients admitted to an acute-care facility. INTERVENTIONS IPs versus no IPs. METHODS Six reviewers screened titles, abstracts and full text. Experience of care reported by patients using the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey was assessed as the outcome for the meta-analysis. Pooled odds ratios were calculated using the random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I2 value. RESULTS After screening 7073 titles and abstracts, 15 independent studies were included in the review. Pooling of unadjusted estimates from the HCAHPS survey demonstrated that IP patients were less likely to give top scores on questions pertaining to respect, communication, receiving assistance and cleanliness compared to the no-IP patients. Patients under IP with longer length of stay appeared to have more negative experiences with the care received during their stay compared to no IP. CONCLUSIONS Patients under IP were more likely to be dissatisfied with several aspects of patient care compared to patients not under IP. It is crucial to educate patients and healthcare workers in order to balance successful implementation of IP and patient care experiences, particularly in healthcare settings where it may be beneficial.

Abstract
The isotope effect on energy confinement time and thermal transport has been investigated for plasmas confined by a stellarator-heliotron magnetic field. This is the first detailed assessment of an isotope effect in a stellarator heliotron. Hydrogen and deuterium plasmas heated by neutral beam injection on the Large Helical Device have exhibited no significant dependence on the isotope mass in thermal energy confinement time, which is not consistent with the simple gyro-Bohm model. A comparison of thermal diffusivity for dimensionally similar hydrogen and deuterium plasmas in terms of the gyroradius, collisionality, and thermal pressure has clearly shown robust confinement improvement in deuterium to compensate for the unfavorable mass dependence predicted by the gyro-Bohm model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Antimicrobial stewardship programmes have focused on reducing inappropriate inpatient antimicrobial prescribing, but several small studies have found a large portion of antimicrobial exposure occurs immediately after hospital discharge. In this study, we describe the prescribing of oral antimicrobials at hospital discharge across an integrated national healthcare system. At the hospital level, we also compare total inpatient antimicrobial use and post-discharge oral antimicrobial use. METHODS This retrospective cross-sectional study used national administrative data to identify all acute-care admissions during 2014-2016 within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). We evaluated inpatient days of therapy (DOT) and post-discharge DOT, defined as oral outpatient antimicrobials dispensed at the time of hospital discharge. At the hospital level, inpatient DOT/100 admissions were compared with post-discharge DOT/100 admissions using Spearman's rank-order correlation. RESULTS There were 1 681 701 acute-care admissions across 122 hospitals, and 335 369 (19.9%) were prescribed an oral antimicrobial at discharge. Fluoroquinolones (38.3%) were the most common post-discharge antimicrobial. At the hospital level, median inpatient antimicrobial use was 331.3 (interquartile range (IQR) 284.9-367.9) DOT/100 admissions and median post-discharge use was 209.5 (IQR 181.5-239.6) DOT/100 admissions. Thirty-nine per cent of the total duration of antimicrobial exposure occurred after discharge. At the hospital-level, the metrics of inpatient DOT/100 admissions and post-discharge DOT/100 admissions were weakly positively correlated with rho=0.44 (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS A large proportion of antimicrobial exposure among hospitalized patients occurred immediately following discharge. Antimicrobial-prescribing at hospital discharge provides an opportunity for antimicrobial stewardship. Hospital-level stewardship metrics need to include both inpatient and post-discharge antimicrobial-prescribing to provide a comprehensive assessment of hospital-associated antimicrobial use.

Abstract
Spectroscopy of absorption lines of H3+ in the central molecular zone (CMZ) of the Galaxy show that a previously largely unknown component of the interstellar medium there, warm (T∼200 K) and diffuse (n ≲ 102 cm-3) gas, makes up a large fraction of the volume of the CMZ, and that this gas is moving radially outward from the centre. These discoveries upend the generally accepted understanding that the interstellar environment of the CMZ comprises almost entirely an ultra-hot plasma and dense molecular clouds. The radial momentum associated with the diffuse gas in the CMZ exceeds that of the ejecta of thousands of core-collapse supernovae and implies some extraordinary past activity in the centre, possibly associated with the supermassive black hole, Sgr A*. We speculate that within approximately 106 years, gravity could halt the expansion of the diffuse gas and that contraction towards the centre could then commence. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Advances in hydrogen molecular ions: H3+, H5+ and beyond'.

Abstract
To clarify the effect of rice bran (RB) and fermented RB (FRB) in a high-sucrose and low-dietary fibre diet on the gut microbiome, the in vitro bile acid-lowering capacity and caecal microbiota of ICR mice fed with 20% RB or FRB diets for two weeks were determined. The caecal microbiome was analysed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. The in vitro bile acid-lowering capacity was high for FRB. In mouse experiments, triacylglycerol and total cholesterol were generally lower with FRB, although the faecal frequency was highest in mice fed with RB. The Shannon-Wiener and Simpson's indices for alpha-diversity in the microbiome of mice fed with RB and FRB, were higher than mice fed the control diet. At the phylum level in the caecal microbiome, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were high with FRB and RB, respectively. At the operational taxonomic unit level, some bacterial groups related to diabetes and gut toxicity, such as Lachnospiraceae and Enterorhabdus mucosicola, were high for RB but not for FRB diets. These results suggest that FRB, rather than RB, intake improve the intestinal environment and blood lipid condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In adults undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), the transplanted livers are partial grafts, and the portal venous pressure is higher than that observed with whole liver grafts. In patients undergoing LDLT concomitant with splenomegaly, portal venous flow is often diverted to collateral vessels, leading to a high risk of portal vein thrombosis. In such cases, occlusion of the collateral veins is important; however, complete occlusion of all collaterals without blocking the blood flow through the splenic artery causes portal hypertension and liver failure. We aimed to examine the effect of performing a splenectomy concomitant with LDLT to reduce portal vein complications. METHODS Between 1991 and 2017, we performed 170 LDLT operations, including 83 in adults. For this cohort study, adult cases were divided into 2 groups. Group I was those who underwent LDLT without splenectomy (n = 60); Group II was those who underwent LDLT with splenectomy for the reduction of portal hypertension (n = 23). We investigated the incident rates of complications, including blood loss, lethal portal vein thrombosis (intrahepatic thrombosis), acute rejection, and so on. We also investigated the survival rates in both groups. RESULTS The incident rate of lethal portal vein thrombosis in Group II was significantly lower than that observed in Group I (4.4% vs 21.7%, respectively, P = .0363). There were no statistically significant differences observed between the groups with respect to blood loss, survival rates, and other such parameters. CONCLUSION LDLT concomitant with splenectomy might effectively reduce the occurrence of portal vein complications in adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The technique of preserving the major tributaries of the middle hepatic vein (MHV) (V5 and V8) until just before graft retrieval is beneficial to minimize congestion time of the graft. However, it remains unclear whether this technique exerts a burden on donors in terms of operative time, blood loss, and postoperative hepatic dysfunction. In this study we investigated adverse effects of the MHV tributaries preserving technique until immediately before graft retrieval on donors' surgical outcomes. METHODS Data from 71 donors who underwent right hepatectomy without MHV for a liver transplantation at our hospital from January 2002 to August 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Donors were divided into 3 groups as follows: group 1 (n = 12), no MHV tributary reconstruction; group 2 (n = 33), single MHV tributary reconstruction; group 3 (n = 26), 2 or 3 MHV tributaries reconstruction. Donor operation time, blood loss, proportion of the remnant liver, maximum postoperative total bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase, minimum platelets, prothrombin time, albumin level, number of days in hospital from surgery to discharge, and surgical complications were compared. RESULTS Compared with groups 2 and 3, group 1 exhibited shorter average operational time and less average blood loss, but the difference was not significant. Comparisons of all other factors indicated no significant differences. CONCLUSION The technique of preserving the major tributaries of the MHV until just immediately before graft retrieval does not appear to impose an apparent burden on donors.

Abstract
A charge-coupled device (CCD) is widely used as a detector of vacuum spectrometers in fusion devices. Recently, a deuterium plasma experiment has been initiated in a Large Helical Device (LHD). Totally 3.7 × 1018 neutrons have been yielded with energies of 2.45 MeV (D-D) and 14.1 MeV (D-T) during the deuterium experiment over four months. Meanwhile, γ-rays are radiated from plasma facing components and laboratory structural materials in a wide energy range, i.e., 0.01-12.0 MeV, through the neutron capture. It is well known that these neutrons and γ-rays bring serious problems to the CCD system. Then, several CCDs of vacuum ultraviolet/extreme ultraviolet/X-ray spectrometers installed at different locations on LHD for measurements of spectra and spatial profiles of impurity emission lines are examined to study the effect of neutrons and γ-rays. An additional CCD placed in a special shielding box made of 10 cm thick polyethylene contained 10% boron and 1.5 cm thick lead is also used for the detailed analysis. As a result, it is found that the CCD has no damage in the present neutron yield of LHD, while the background noise integrated for all pixels of CCD largely increases, i.e., 1-3 × 108 counts/s. The data analysis of CCD in the shielding box shows that the background noise caused by the γ-ray is smaller than that caused by the neutron, i.e., 41% from γ-rays and 59% from neutrons. It is also found that the noise can be partly removed by an accumulation of CCD frames or software programming.
