Abstract
Use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) as cancer immunotherapy has advanced rapidly in the clinic. We recently reported that tumor stroma-derived angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) has tumor suppressive activity by enhancing dendritic cell-mediated CD8+ T cell anti-tumor immune responses. However, a direct impact of ANGPTL2 on ICI anti-tumor effect remains unclear. Here, we use a murine syngeneic model to show that host ANGPTL2 facilitates CD8+ T cell cross-priming and contributes to anti-tumor responses to ICIs in this context. Importantly, our analysis of public datasets indicated that ANGPTL2 expression is associated with positive responses to ICI therapy by human melanoma patients. We conclude that ANGPTL2-mediated stromal cell crosstalk facilitates anti-tumor immunity and ICI responsiveness. These findings overall provide novel insight into ANGPTL2 anti-tumor function and regulation of ICI-induced anti-tumor immunity.

Abstract
Video-assisted thoracic surgery esophagectomy (VATS-E) may increase the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) because it uses a high dosage of anesthesia through a long operative duration. However, no study has examined the risk factors for PONV after VATS-E. Therefore, we investigated the risk factors for PONV to support the appropriate risk management of PONV after VATS-E. This prospective cohort study included 155 patients who underwent VATS-E at the Showa University Hospital between April 1st, 2020 and November 30th, 2022. The primary outcome was the incidence of PONV within 24 h after surgery. Significant independent risk factors associated with the incidence of PONV were selected using multivariate analysis. The association between the number of risk factors for PONV and incidence of PONV was analyzed. One-hundred fifty-three patients were included in the analysis. The patients' median age was 67 years (range, 44-88), and 79.1% were male. PONV occurred in 35 (22.9%) patients. In the multivariate analysis, remifentanil dosage > 89.0 ng/kg/ min, albumin ≤ 3.5 g/dL, and eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 were independent significant risk factors for PONV. A significant association was observed between the incidence of and the number of risk factors for PONV (0 factor, 5.8%; 1 factor, 27.3%; ≥ 2 factors, 40.0%; p = 0.001). These three risk factors are useful indicators for selecting patients at high risk of developing PONV after VATS-E. In these patients, avoiding the development of PONV will be possible by performing appropriate risk management.

Abstract
(-)-FR901483 (1) isolated from the fungus Cladobotryum sp. No.11231 achieves immunosuppression via nucleic acid biosynthesis inhibition rather than IL-2 production inhibition as accomplished by FK506 and cyclosporin A. Recently, we identified the frz gene cluster for the biosynthesis of 1. It contains frzK, a gene homologous to phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate amidotransferase (PPAT)that catalyzes the initial step of de novo purine biosynthesis. We speculated that frzK encodes a PPAT that escapes inhibition by 1 and functions as a self-resistance enzyme (SRE) for the producing host. Nevertheless, details remained elusive. Here, we report the biochemical and structural analyses of FrzK and its Escherichia coli counterpart, PurF. Recombinantly produced FrzK exhibited PPAT activity, albeit weaker than PurF, but evaded strong inhibition by 1. These results confirmed that the target of 1 is PPAT, and FrzK acts as an SRE by maintaining the de novo purine biosynthetic capability in the presence of 1. To understand how FrzK evades inhibition by 1, we determined the crystal structure of PurF in the complex with 1 and constructed a homology model of FrzK. Sequence and structural analyses of various PPATs identified that many residues unique to FrzK occur near the Flexible Loop that remains disordered when inactive but becomes ordered and covers up the active site upon activation by substrate binding. Kinetic characterizations of mutants of the unique residues revealed that the resistance of FrzK against 1 may be conferred by structurally predisposing the Flexible Loop to the active, closed conformation even in the presence of 1.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. OA results from the breakdown of cartilage, which leads to deterioration of the entire joint and the connective tissue that holds the joint together, and gradually and irreversibly worsens over time. Adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ADSCs) have been used in the treatment of knee OA. However, the safety and efficacy of ADSC treatment of OA remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the pathophysiology of severe knee arthritis that occurred after ADSC treatment by screening for autoantibodies in synovial fluid from patients who received ADSC treatment. Methods Adult Japanese patients with OA who received ADSC treatment at Saitama Cooperative Hospital between June 2018 and October 2021 were enrolled. Antibodies (Abs) were screened using immunoprecipitation (IPP) with [35S]-methionine-labeled HeLa cell extracts. The detected protein was identified by liquid chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MS) and ion trap MS, and the corresponding proteins were confirmed as autoantigens using immunoblotting. Ab titers were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results A total of 113 patients received ADSC treatment, and 75% (85/113) received ADSC injection at least twice with a 6-month interval between. No obvious abnormalities were observed in any patient after their first treatment; by contrast, 53% (45/85) of patients who received their second or third ADSC injection showed severe knee arthritis. IPP detected a common anti-15 kDa Ab in synovial fluid of 62% (8/13) of the samples analyzed from patients who showed severe arthritis. This Ab was not detected in synovial fluid obtained from the same joints before treatment. The corresponding autoantigen was identified as histone H2B. All available synovial samples from patients who tested positive for anti-histone H2B Ab were newly positive after the treatment; that is, none had been positive for anti-histone H2B Ab before treatment. Conclusions Multiple ADSC injections for OA induced severe arthritis in a high percentage of patients, particularly after the second injection. Synovial fluid from some patients with knee arthritis contained Ab to histone H2B that appeared only after ADSC treatment. These findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of ADSC treatment-induced severe arthritis.

Abstract
Escherichia coli harboring polyketide synthase (pks+ E. coli) has been suggested to contribute to colorectal cancer development. Physical activity is strongly associated with lower colorectal cancer risks, but its effects on pks+ E. coli remain unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between pks+ E. coli prevalence and physical activity. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 222 Japanese adults (27-79-years-old, 73.9% female). Triaxial accelerometers were used to measure light-intensity physical activity, moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity, the physical activity level, step-count, and time spent inactive. Fecal samples collected from participants were used to determine the prevalence of pks+ E. coli. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and restricted cubic spline curves were used to examine the association between pks+ E. coli prevalence and physical activity. The prevalence of pks+ E. coli was 26.6% (59/222 participants). The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the highest tertile with reference to the lowest tertile of physical activity variables were as follows: light-intensity physical activity (OR 0.63; 95% CI 0.26-1.5), moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (OR 0.85; 95% CI 0.39-1.87), physical activity level (OR 0.69; 95% CI 0.32-1.51), step-count (OR 0.92; 95% CI 0.42-2.00) and time spent inactive (OR 1.30; 95% CI 0.58-2.93). No significant dose-response relationship was found between all physical activity variables and pks+ E. coli prevalence. Our findings did not suggest that physical activity has beneficial effects on the prevalence of pks+ E. coli. Longitudinal studies targeting a large population are needed to clarify this association.

Abstract
Previously, we reported that an ANGPTL3 vaccine is a hopeful therapeutic option against dyslipidemia. In our current study, we assess durability and booster effects of that vaccine over a period representing a mouse's lifespan. The vaccine remained effective for over one year, and booster vaccination maintained suppression of circulating triglyceride levels thereafter without major adverse effects on lungs, kidneys, or liver, suggesting vaccine efficacy and safety.

The lactate-based polyester poly[lactate (LA)-co-3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB)], termed LAHB, is a highly transparent and flexible bio-based polymeric material. There are many unknowns regarding its degradation process in riverine environments, especially the changes in bacterial flora that might result from its degradation and the identities of any LAHB-degrading bacteria. LAHB were immersed in the river water samples (A and B), and LAHB degradation was observed in terms of the weight change of the polymer and the microscopic changes on the polymer surfaces. A metagenomic analysis of microorganisms was conducted to determine the effect of LAHB degradation on the aquatic environment. The bacterial flora obtained from beta diversity analysis differed between the two river samples. The river A water sample showed the simultaneous degradation of LA and 3HB even though the copolymer was LA-enriched, suggesting preferable hydrolysis of the LA-enriched segments. In contrast, only 3HB degraded for the LAHB in the river B water sample. The linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) analysis revealed 14 bacteria that were significantly increased in the river A water sample during LAHB degradation, suggesting that these bacteria preferentially degraded and assimilated LA-clustering polymers. Our metagenomic analysis provides useful insights into the dynamic changes in microbial communities and LA-clustering polymer-degrading bacteria.

Abstract
Use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) as cancer immunotherapy advances rapidly in the clinic. Despite their therapeutic benefits, ICIs can cause clinically significant immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including myocarditis. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating irAE remain unclear. Here, we investigate the function of Angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2), a potential inflammatory mediator, in a mouse model of ICI-related autoimmune myocarditis. ANGPTL2 deficiency attenuates autoimmune inflammation in these mice, an outcome associated with decreased numbers of T cells and macrophages. We also show that cardiac fibroblasts express abundant ANGPTL2. Importantly, cardiac myofibroblast-derived ANGPTL2 enhances expression of chemoattractants via the NF-κB pathway, accelerating T cell recruitment into heart tissues. Our findings suggest an immunostimulatory function for ANGPTL2 in the context of ICI-related autoimmune inflammation and highlight the pathophysiological significance of ANGPTL2-mediated cardiac myofibroblast/immune cell crosstalk in enhancing autoimmune responses. These findings overall provide insight into mechanisms regulating irAEs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Lifestyle behaviours associated with the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) need further clarification using health insurance data. STUDY DESIGN This is a cohort study. METHODS In 2015, 193,246 participants aged 40-74 years attended the specific health checkups and were observed up to 2020 in Fukushima, Japan. Using the principal component analysis, we identified two patterns from ten lifestyle behaviour questions, namely, the "diet-smoking" pattern (including smoking, alcohol drinking, skipping breakfast, eating fast, late dinner, and snacking) and the "physical activity-sleep" pattern (including physical exercise, walking equivalent activity, walking fast, and sufficient sleep). Then, individual pattern scores were calculated; the higher the scores, the healthier the behaviours. RESULTS The accumulative incidence rate of T2DM was 630.5 in men and 391.9 in women per 100,000 person-years in an average of 4 years of follow-up. Adjusted for the demographic and cardiometabolic factors at the baseline, the hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of the highest versus lowest quartile scores of the "diet-smoking" pattern for T2DM risk was 0.82 (0.72, 0.92; P for trend = 0.002) in men and 0.87 (0.76, 1·00; P for trend = 0.034) in women; that of the "physical activity-sleep" pattern was 0.92 (0.82, 1·04; P for trend = 0.0996) in men and 0.92 (0.80, 1·06; P for trend = 0.372) in women. The "physical activity-sleep" pattern showed a significant inverse association in non-overweight men. CONCLUSIONS Lifestyle behaviour associated with a healthy diet and lack of smoking may significantly lower the risk of T2DM in middle-aged Japanese adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ability to predict secondary cardiovascular events could improve health of patients undergoing statin treatment. Circulating ANGPTL8 (angiopoietin-like protein 8) levels, which positively correlate with proatherosclerotic lipid profiles, activate the pivotal proatherosclerotic factor ANGPTL3. Here, we assessed potential association between circulating ANGPTL8 levels and risk of secondary cardiovascular events in statin-treated patients. METHODS We conducted a biomarker study with a case-cohort design, using samples from a 2018 randomized control trial known as randomized evaluation of high-dose (4 mg/day) or low-dose (1 mg/day) lipid-lowering therapy with pitavastatin in coronary artery disease (REAL-CAD [Randomized Evaluation of Aggressive or Moderate Lipid-Lowering Therapy With Pitavastatin in Coronary Artery Disease])." From that study's full analysis set (n=12 413), we selected 2250 patients with stable coronary artery disease (582 with the primary outcome, 1745 randomly chosen, and 77 overlapping subjects). A composite end point including cardiovascular-related death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal ischemic stroke, or unstable angina requiring emergent admission was set as a primary end point. Circulating ANGPTL8 levels were measured at baseline and 6 months after randomization. RESULTS Over a 6-month period, ANGPTL8 level changes significantly decreased in the high-dose pitavastatin group, which showed 19% risk reduction of secondary cardiovascular events compared with the low-dose group in the REAL-CAD [Randomized Evaluation of Aggressive or Moderate Lipid-Lowering Therapy With Pitavastatin in Coronary Artery Disease] study. In the highest quartiles, relative increases in ANGPTL8 levels were significantly associated with increased risk for secondary cardiovascular events, after adjustment for several cardiovascular disease risk factors and pitavastatin treatment (hazard ratio in Q4, 1.67 [95% CI, 1.17-2.39). Subgroup analyses showed relatively strong relationships between relative ANGPTL8 increases and secondary cardiovascular events in the high-dose pitavastatin group (hazard ratio in Q4, 2.07 [95% CI, 1.21-3.55]) and in the low ANGPTL8 group at baseline (166 CONCLUSIONS Monitoring ANGPTL8 levels over time might be useful to assess residual risk of cardiovascular secondary events in patients with cardiovascular disease undergoing statin therapy.

Abstract
Mobile intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) in balanced nonlinear capacitive-inductive cyclic transmission lines are studied by experiment, using a spatiotemporal driver under damped steady-state conditions. Without nonlinear balance, the experimentally observed resonance between the traveling ILM and normal modes of the nonlinear transmission line generates lattice drag via the production of a lattice backwave. In our experimental study of a balanced running ILM in a steady state, it is observed that the fundamental resonance can be removed over extended, well-defined driving frequency intervals and strongly suppressed over the complete ILM driving frequency range. Because both of these nonlinear capacitive and inductive elements display hysteresis our observation demonstrates that the experimental system, which is only partially self-dual, is surprisingly tolerant, regarding the precision necessary to eliminate the ILM backwave. It appears that simply balancing the cell dual nonlinearities makes the ILM envelope shape essentially the same at the two locations in the cell, so that the effective lattice discreteness seen by the ILM nearly vanishes.

Abstract
We report biosynthetic pathways that can synthesize and transform conjugated octaenes and nonaenes to complex natural products. The biosynthesis of (-)-PF1018 involves an enzyme PfB that can control the regio-, stereo-, and periselectivity of multiple reactions starting from a conjugated octaene. Using PfB as a lead, we discovered a homologous enzyme, BruB, that facilitates diene isomerization, tandem 8π-6π-electrocyclization, and a 1,2-divinylcyclobutane Cope rearrangement to generate a new-to-nature compound.

Abstract
The increased incidence of obesity in the global population has increased the risk of several chronic inflammation-related diseases, including non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The progression from NASH to HCC involves a virus-independent liver carcinogenic mechanism; however, we currently lack effective treatment and prevention strategies. Several reports have suggested that fecal volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are strongly associated with NASH-HCC; therefore, we explored the biomarkers involved in its pathogenesis and progression. Fecal samples collected from control and NASH-HCC model STAM mice were subjected to headspace autosampler gas chromatography-electron ionization-mass spectrometry. Non-target profiling analysis identified diacetyl (2,3-butandione) as a fecal VOC that characterizes STAM mice. Although fecal diacetyl levels were correlated with the HCC in STAM mice, diacetyl is known as a cytotoxic/tissue-damaging compound rather than genotoxic or mutagenic; therefore, we examined the effect of bioactivity associated with NASH progression. We observed that diacetyl induced several pro-inflammatory molecules, including tumor necrosis factor-α, cyclooxygenase-2, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and transforming growth factor-β, in mouse macrophage RAW264.7 and Kupffer KPU5 cells. Additionally, we observed that diacetyl induced α-smooth muscle actin, one of the hallmarks of fibrosis, in an ex vivo cultured hepatic section, but not in in vitro hepatic stellate TWNT-1 cells. These results suggest that diacetyl would be a potential biomarker of fecal VOC in STAM mice, and its ability to trigger the macrophage-derived inflammation and fibrosis may partly contribute to NASH-HCC carcinogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical resection plays a critical role in the curative therapy of patients with gallbladder cancer. However, extended resection for locally advanced gallbladder cancer is a controversial procedure because of the high operative morbidity, mortality, and poor prognosis after surgery, without consensus of its suitability. Several reports have described preoperative treatment modalities to reduce the risk of mortality and morbidity and improve the curability of surgery for locally advanced GBCA. However, only a few well-designed studies have verified the benefits of these preoperative strategies. CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old male patient presented to our department with a gallbladder tumor detected on abdominal ultrasound during an annual medical checkup. Multi-phase enhanced CT revealed a gallbladder tumor with a maximum diameter of 34 mm, invading the right hepatic artery, pancreatic head, hepatic flexure of the colon, and first portion of the duodenum. We diagnosed gallbladder carcinoma as cT4 cN0 cM0 cStage IVA in the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) classification 8th edition. After administration of 12 cycles of gemcitabine and cisplatin plus S-1 regimen, tumor shrinkage was observed on computed tomography, and elevated serum CA19-9 levels were reduced to normal limits. After preoperative hepatic artery embolization, we performed gallbladder bed resection with pancreaticoduodenectomy (minor hepatopancreatoduodenectomy) and combined resection of the right hepatic artery and hepatic flexure of the colon. Histological examination revealed no evidence of lymph node metastasis (ypT4 ypN0 ycM0 yp Stage IVA in the 8th edition of the UICC). The proximal bile duct and dissected margins were negative. CONCLUSIONS The combination of induction chemotherapy and preoperative hepatic artery embolization, followed by minor hepatopancreatoduodenectomy and combined resection of the involved arteries and partial colon, could be a feasible treatment strategy for patients with locally advanced gallbladder cancer invading neighboring organs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluating patients' risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) is crucial for positive outcomes following cardiac surgery. Our aims were first to select candidate risk factors from pre- or intra-operative real-world parameters collected from routine medical care and then evaluate potential associations between those parameters and risk of onset of post-operative cardiac surgery-associated AKI (CSA-AKI). METHOD We conducted two cohort studies in Japan. The first was a single-center prospective cohort study (n = 145) to assess potential association between 115 clinical parameters collected from routine medical care and CSA-AKI (≥ Stage1) risk in the population of patients undergoing cardiac surgery involving cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). To select candidate risk factors, we employed random forest analysis and applied survival analyses to evaluate association strength. In a second retrospective cohort study, we targeted patients undergoing cardiac surgery with CPB (n = 619) and evaluated potential positive associations between CSA-AKI incidence and risk factors suggested by the first cohort study. RESULTS Variable selection analysis revealed that parameters in clinical categories such as circulating inflammatory cells, CPB-related parameters, ventilation, or aging were potential CSA-AKI risk factors. Survival analyses revealed that increased counts of pre-operative circulating monocytes and neutrophils were associated with CSA-AKI incidence. Finally, in the second cohort study, we found that increased pre-operative circulating monocyte counts were associated with increased CSA-AKI incidence. CONCLUSIONS Circulating monocyte counts in the pre-operative state are associated with increased risk of CSA-AKI development. This finding may be useful in stratifying patients for risk of developing CSA-AKI in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Diosgenin is an aglycone of dioscin, a major bioactive steroidal saponin found in plants, including Himalayan Paris (Paris polyphylla), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), and yam (Dioscorea spp.). We have previously demonstrated that a species of natural yam, Dioscorea japonica, contains a promising bioactive compound diosgenin, which induces anti-carcinogenic and anti-hypertriacylglycerolemic activities. Here, we found for the first time that Japanese yam (D. japonica) bulbils are richer in diosgenin than the edible tubers (rhizomes) and leaves. LC-MS and imaging-MS analyses revealed that diosgenin accumulated in the peripheral region of D. japonica bulbils. Additionally, we performed RNA-seq analysis of D. japonica, and multiple sequence alignment identified D. japonica CYP90 (DjCYP90), the orthologous gene of CYP90G4 in P. polyphylla, CYP90B50 in T. foenum-graecum, CYP90G6 in Dioscorea zingiberensis, and CYP90G in Dioscorea villosa, which encodes a diosgenin biosynthetic rate-limiting enzyme. The expression levels of DjCYP90 were significantly upregulated in D. japonica bulbils than in its rhizomes and leaves. Since diosgenin is one of the most promising functional food factors executing several favorable bioactivities, D. japonica bulbils rich in diosgenin would be a beneficial natural resource.

Abstract
Safer and more effective cow milk (CM)-oral immunotherapy that does not induce allergic reactions has not yet been standardised. We sought to explore the efficacy and feasibility of a combination of heat-killed Lactiplantibacillus plantarum YIT 0132 (LP0132) and oral immunotherapy for treating IgE-mediated cow milk allergy (CMA). We conducted a 24-week, double-blind, randomised (1:1), two-arm, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial of LP0132 intervention for treating IgE-mediated CMA in children aged 1-18 years (n=60) from January 29, 2018 to July 12, 2019 in Tokyo, Japan. Participants were randomly assigned to the LP0132 group receiving citrus juice fermented with LP0132 or to the control group receiving citrus juice without. Both groups received low-dose slow oral immunotherapy with CM. The primary outcome was improved tolerance to CM, proven by the CM challenge test at 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes were changes in serum biomarkers of serum-specific β-lactoglobulin-IgE (sIgE) and β-lactoglobulin-IgG4 (sIgG4). Exploratory outcomes included changes in serum cytokine levels and gut microbiota composition. A total of 61 participants were included. Finally, 31 children were assigned to the LP0132 group and 30 to the control group, respectively. After the intervention, 41.4 and 37.9% of the participants in the LP0132 and control groups, respectively, showed improved tolerance to CM. In serum biomarkers after the intervention, the sIgG4 level was significantly higher, and interleukin (IL)-5 and IL-9 were significantly lower, in the LP0132 group than in the control group. In the gut microbiome, the α-diversity and Lachnospiraceae increased significantly in the LP0132 group, and Lachnospiraceae after the intervention was significantly higher in the LP0132 group than in the control group. In conclusion, low-dose oral immunotherapy with modulating gut microbiota might be a safer and more effective approach for treating cow's milk allergy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival is a key metric of the effectiveness of a health system in managing cancer. We set out to provide a comprehensive examination of worldwide variation and trends in survival from brain tumors in adults, by histology. METHODS We analyzed individual data for adults (15-99 years) diagnosed with a brain tumor (ICD-O-3 topography code C71) during 2000-2014, regardless of tumor behavior. Data underwent a 3-phase quality control as part of CONCORD-3. We estimated net survival for 11 histology groups, using the unbiased nonparametric Pohar Perme estimator. RESULTS The study included 556,237 adults. In 2010-2014, the global range in age-standardized 5-year net survival for the most common sub-types was broad: in the range 20%-38% for diffuse and anaplastic astrocytoma, from 4% to 17% for glioblastoma, and between 32% and 69% for oligodendroglioma. For patients with glioblastoma, the largest gains in survival occurred between 2000-2004 and 2005-2009. These improvements were more noticeable among adults diagnosed aged 40-70 years than among younger adults. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the largest account to date of global trends in population-based survival for brain tumors by histology in adults. We have highlighted remarkable gains in 5-year survival from glioblastoma since 2005, providing large-scale empirical evidence on the uptake of chemoradiation at population level. Worldwide, survival improvements have been extensive, but some countries still lag behind. Our findings may help clinicians involved in national and international tumor pathway boards to promote initiatives aimed at more extensive implementation of clinical guidelines.

Abstract
A well-known feature of a propagating localized excitation in a discrete lattice is the generation of a backwave in the extended normal mode spectrum. To quantify the parameter-dependent amplitude of such a backwave, the properties of a running intrinsic localized mode (ILM) in electric, cyclic, dissipative, nonlinear 1D transmission lines, containing balanced nonlinear capacitive and inductive terms, are studied via simulations. Both balanced and unbalanced damping and driving conditions are treated. The introduction of a unit cell duplex driver, with a voltage source driving the nonlinear capacitor and a synchronized current source, the nonlinear inductor, provides an opportunity to design a cyclic, dissipative self-dual nonlinear transmission line. When the self-dual conditions are satisfied, the dynamical voltage and current equations of motion within a cell become the same, the strength of the fundamental, resonant coupling between the ILM and the lattice modes collapses, and the associated fundamental backwave is no longer observed.

Abstract
Samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu were brought to Earth by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. We analyzed 17 Ryugu samples measuring 1 to 8 millimeters. Carbon dioxide-bearing water inclusions are present within a pyrrhotite crystal, indicating that Ryugu's parent asteroid formed in the outer Solar System. The samples contain low abundances of materials that formed at high temperatures, such as chondrules and calcium- and aluminum-rich inclusions. The samples are rich in phyllosilicates and carbonates, which formed through aqueous alteration reactions at low temperature, high pH, and water/rock ratios of <1 (by mass). Less altered fragments contain olivine, pyroxene, amorphous silicates, calcite, and phosphide. Numerical simulations, based on the mineralogical and physical properties of the samples, indicate that Ryugu's parent body formed ~2 million years after the beginning of Solar System formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colibactin is a genotoxin produced by Escherichia coli and other Enterobacteriaceae that is believed to increase the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) of their symbiosis hosts, including human. A peptidase ClbP is the key enzyme for activation of colibactin. Inhibition of ClbP is considered to impede maturation of precolibactin into genotoxic colibactin. Therefore, ClbP-specific inhibitors could potentially prevent the onset of CRC, one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in the world. This study intends to establish an efficient screening system for identifying inhibitors that are specific to ClbP. METHODS Two types of assays were applied in the screening procedure: a probe assay and an LC-MS assay. For the probe assay, we employed the synthesized probe which we described in our previous report. This probe can be hydrolyzed efficiently by ClbP to release a fluorophore. Hence it was applied here for detection of inhibition of ClbP. For the LC-MS assay, formation of the byproduct of precolibactin maturation process, N-myristoyl-D-asparagine, was quantified using a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) technique. The probe assay can be performed much faster, while the LC-MS assay is more accurate. Therefore, our method employed the two assays in sequence to screen a large number of compounds for inhibition of ClbP. RESULTS A library of 67,965 standard compounds was evaluated by the screening method established in the current study, and one compound was found to show a moderate inhibitory activity against ClbP. CONCLUSION A simple screening method for ClbP-specific inhibitors was established. It was proven to be reliable and is believed to be useful in developing potential prophylactic agents for CRC.

Abstract
Deficiency of a soluble form of the advanced glycation end products receptor (sRAGE) is implicated in obesity-induced complications. Serum sRAGE is inclined to be modified by changes in body weight. We analysed serum sRAGE concentrations in patients with obesity undergoing moderate calorie restriction, which mimics the real-life situation and is not harmful to obese humans. Serum sRAGE was measured by immunoassay in 50 patients with obesity who underwent calorie restriction by 300-500 kcal/day for 8 weeks. In effect calorie restriction resulted in an expected decrease in body weight (by 2.1 kg for an 8-week intervention, p<0.0001), as well as reduced systolic blood pressure, modified dyslipidemia (cholesterol, triglycerides), reduced obesity-related inflammation (tumor necrosis factor-alfa, interleukin-6, C-reactive protein), improved insulin sensitivity. However, it was not accompanied by any significant change in sRAGE concentration. There was a strong negative correlation between BMI and the sRAGE level. Accordingly, the levels of sRAGE were the highest in lean control. In conclusion: a modest weight reduction is unlikely to improve decreased sRAGE levels.

Abstract
Uncontrolled proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells caused by mutations in genes of the WNT/β-catenin pathway is associated with development of intestinal cancers. We previously reported that intestinal stromal cell-derived angiopoietin-like protein 2 (ANGPTL2) controls epithelial regeneration and intestinal immune responses. However, the role of tumor cell-derived ANGPTL2 in intestinal tumorigenesis remained unclear. Here, we show that tumor cell-derived ANGPTL2 promotes β-catenin-driven intestinal tumorigenesis. ANGPTL2 deficiency suppressed intestinal tumor development in an experimental mouse model of sporadic colon cancer. We also found that increased ANGPTL2 expression in colorectal cancer (CRC) cells augments β-catenin pathway signaling and promotes tumor cell proliferation. Relevant to mechanism, our findings suggest that tumor cell-derived ANGPTL2 upregulates expression of OB-cadherin, which then interacts with β-catenin, blocking destruction complex-independent proteasomal degradation of β-catenin proteins. Moreover, our observations support a model whereby ANGPTL2-induced OB-cadherin expression in CRC cells is accompanied by decreased cell surface integrin α5β1 expression. These findings overall provide novel insight into mechanisms of β-catenin-driven intestinal tumorigenesis.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that Escherichia coli often carries a biosynthetic gene cluster termed either the pks island or the clb cluster that allows the production of a genotoxic polyketide-nonribosomal peptide hybrid secondary metabolite called colibactin. While the gene cluster is not always expressed, when the strain that resides in the colon produces the genotoxin, it is suspected to become a risk factor for colorectal cancer. Therefore, there is great interest in devising a simple method for the detection of colibactin-producing strains and understanding the detailed mechanism of how colibactin can induce oncogenesis, to develop convenient early screening methods and possible preventive treatments against colorectal cancer. However, the definitive chemical structure of colibactin remained elusive until recently, primarily due to its low yield and instability. In this review, we will briefly trace the recent studies leading to the identification of the structure of the active intact colibactin. Subsequently, we will describe our efforts toward developing simple methods for detecting colibactin producers, where we established methods based on the conventional polymerase chain reaction and loop-mediated isothermal amplification techniques. We also designed an activity-based fluorogenic probe for detecting colibactin-producing strains that could discern colibactin production levels among the E. coli strains screened. Using the probe, we isolated a wild-type high-colibactin-producing strain from a colorectal cancer tissue sample that proved to be valuable in identifying new colibactin metabolites and structurally characterizing them by nuclear magnetic resonance. Those techniques and the chemical insight they furnished should improve the fight against colorectal cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE After our group described the first remote-access thyroidectomy series in 2000, the procedure has been further developed. Although a thoracoscopic approach with a conventional open cervical incision for thyroid goiters with mediastinal extension has been performed at many institutions, remote-access thyroidectomy for cervicomediastinal goiters has not been established. We have performed combined thoracoscopic and axillary subcutaneous endoscopic thyroidectomies (axillo-thoracic endoscopic thyroidectomies). Here, we describe a novel technique for performing a remote-access thyroidectomy for a cervicomediastinal goiter (CMG). PATIENTS AND METHODS The patients with CMGs who agreed to an axillo-thoracic endoscopic thyroidectomy at one of two hospitals in Japan underwent a remote-access thyroidectomy. RESULTS We performed the axillo-thoracic endoscopic right or left hemithyroidectomy successfully, but most of the patients did not require the thoracoscopic procedure. None of the patients had complications, and none was converted to an open thyroidectomy. CONCLUSIONS Most thyroid goiters with substernal extension can be removed by the axillary approach, but some cases require a thoracoscopic approach. The novel approach described herein (axillo-thoracic endoscopic thyroidectomy) enables the safe excision of a CMG with high patient satisfaction for selected patients.

Abstract
Under the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Modelling and Data for Radiological Impact Assessments (MODARIA II) Programme, Working Group 4 activities included collating radionuclide transfer data from Japan following the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident and separately collating concentration ratio (CR) data for root uptake of radionuclides by crops grown in tropical and arid climates. In this paper, the newly compiled radiocaesium CR data for fruit from Japan, tropical and arid climates have been combined with the data originally compiled for the IAEA Technical Reports Series No. 472 (TRS 472) and additional data identified from the literature to produce an enhanced MODARIA II dataset of fruit radiocaesium CR values. Statistical analysis of the MODARIA II dataset by climate class (based on the Köppen-Geiger climate classification) indicated that the CR values for tropical climates were significantly higher (p< 0.05) than those for arid, temperate and cold climates. Statistical analysis of the MODARIA II dataset by soil group (based on soil texture) indicated that the CR values for coral sand soil (tropical climates only) and organic soil (temperate climates only) were significantly higher (p< 0.05) than those for the clay, loam and sand soil groups. Statistical analysis of the MODARIA II dataset by plant group (based on plant morphology) indicated that the CR values for non-woody trees (tropical climate bias) were significantly higher (p< 0.05) than those for herbaceous plants, shrubs and woody trees. Comparison of the MODARIA II dataset with original TRS 472 values showed only small changes in the fruit radiocaesium CR values for herbaceous plants and shrubs in temperate climates. There was a decrease in the CR values for woody trees in temperate climate across all soil groups. There was also a decrease in the CR values for tropical climates for all comparable soil groups.

Abstract
The Diels–Alder (DA) reaction refers to a [4 + 2] cycloaddition reaction that falls under the category of pericyclic reactions. It is a reaction that allows regio- and stereo-selective construction of two carbon–carbon bonds simultaneously in a concerted manner to generate a six-membered ring structure through a six-electron cyclic transition state. The DA reaction is one of the most widely applied reactions in organic synthesis, yet its role in biological systems has been debated intensely over the last four decades. A survey of secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms suggests strongly that many of the compounds possess features that are likely formed through DA reactions, and most of them are considered to be catalyzed by enzymes that are commonly referred to as Diels–Alderases (DAases). In recent years, especially over the past 10 years or so, we have seen an accumulation of a substantial body of work that substantiates the argument that DAases indeed exist and play a critical role in the biosynthesis of complex metabolites. This review will cover the DAases involved in the biosynthesis of decalin moieties, which are found in many of the medicinally important natural products, especially those produced by fungi. In particular, we will focus on a subset of secondary metabolites referred to as pyrrolidine-2-one-bearing decalin compounds and discuss the decalin ring stereochemistry and the biological activities of those compounds. We will also look into the genes and enzymes that drive the biosynthetic construction of those complex natural products, and highlight the recent progress made on the structural and mechanistic understanding of DAases, especially regarding how those enzymes exert stereochemical control over the [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions they catalyze.

Abstract
After our coauthors described the first remote-access parathyroidectomy (RAP) series in 2000, several other approaches were developed. No systematic review has been performed to classify and evaluate RAP techniques. We performed a literature search using PubMed and Cochrane Library (CENTRAL). A total of 71 studies met our inclusion/exclusion criteria. RAP can be categorized into five approaches: (1) endoscopic and robotic axillary, (2) anterior chest, (3) transoral, (4) retroauricular, and (5) a combination of these approaches. The limited data in the literature suggest that the cure rates and safety of RAP are in no way inferior to those of open parathyroidectomy. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages, and the recommendations for the selection of each approach are listed. The selection of approach methods might depend on the surgeon's experience and familiarity and the patient's preference and disease status.

Abstract
We have measured the 3d→2p transition x rays of kaonic ^{3}He and ^{4}He atoms using superconducting transition-edge-sensor microcalorimeters with an energy resolution better than 6 eV (FWHM). We determined the energies to be 6224.5±0.4(stat)±0.2(syst) eV and 6463.7±0.3(stat)±0.1(syst) eV, and widths to be 2.5±1.0(stat)±0.4(syst) eV and 1.0±0.6(stat)±0.3(stat) eV, for kaonic ^{3}He and ^{4}He, respectively. These values are nearly 10 times more precise than in previous measurements. Our results exclude the large strong-interaction shifts and widths that are suggested by a coupled-channel approach and agree with calculations based on optical-potential models.

Abstract
In this experimental study of the nonlinear loss mechanism between traveling localized excitation and the underlying extended normal mode spectrum for a 1D lattice, three types of cyclic, electric, nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) are used. They are nonlinear capacitive, inductive, and capacitive+inductive NLTLs. To maintain a robust, steady-state traveling intrinsic localized mode (ILM), a traveling wave driver is used. The ILM loses energy because of a resonance between it and the extended NLTL modes. A wake field excitation is detected directly from ILM velocity experiments by the decrease in ILM speed and by the observation of the wake. Its properties are quantified via a two-dimensional Fourier map in the frequency-wavenumber domain, determined from the measured spatial-time voltage pattern. Simulations support and extend these experimental findings. We find for the capacitive+inductive NLTL configuration, when the two nonlinear terms are theoretically balanced, the wake excitation is calculated to become very small, giving rise to supertransmission over an extended driving frequency range.

Abstract
Membrane vesicles (MVs) are formed in various microorganisms triggered by physiological and environmental phenomena. In this study, we have discovered that the biogenesis of MV took place in the recombinant cell of Escherichia coli BW25113 strain that intracellularly accumulates microbial polyester, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). This discovery was achieved as a trigger of foam formation during the microbial PHB fermentation. The purified MVs were existed as a mixture of outer MVs and outer/inner MVs, revealed by transmission electron microscopy. It should be noted that there was a good correlation between MV formation and PHB production level that can be finely controlled by varying glucose concentrations, suggesting the causal relationship in both supramolecules artificially produced in the microbial platform. Notably, the controllable secretion of MV was governed spatiotemporally through the morphological change of the E. coli cells caused by the PHB intracellular accumulation. Based on a hypothesis of PHB internal-pressure dependent envelope-disorder induced MV biogenesis, here we propose a new Polymer Intracellular Accumulation-triggered system for MV Production (designated "PIA-MVP") with presenting a mechanistic model for MV biogenesis. The PIA-MVP is a promising microbial platform that will provides us with a significance for further study focusing on biopolymer capsulation and cross-membrane transportation for different application purposes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Among colorectal cancer-associated intestinal microbiota, colibactin-producing (clb+) bacteria are attracting attention. We aimed to clarify the interaction between clb+ Escherichia coli and normal colorectal epithelial cells in vivo and in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five-week-old female Balb/c mice were divided in an untreated group, a group treated with clb+ E. coli isolated from a Japanese patient with colorectal cancer (E. coli-50), and a group treated with non colibactin-producing E. coli (E. coli-50/ΔclbP). Mice were sacrificed at 18 weeks of treatment. RESULTS Treatment with clb+ E. coli increased positivity for H2A histone family member X phosphorylated at Ser-139 (γH2AX) in epithelial cells of the luminal surface of the mouse rectum but this did not occur in the E. coli-50/ΔclbP and untreated groups. In an in vitro setting, the ratio of apoptotic cells was increased and cell counts were reduced by treatment with clb+ E. coli more than in untreated cells and normal rat colorectal epithelial cells. CONCLUSION E. coli-50 induced DNA damage in the mouse rectum, possibly by direct interaction between clb+ E. coli and normal colorectal epithelial cells. Our findings imply that regulation of clb+ E. coli infection may be a useful strategy for colorectal cancer control.

Abstract
Accurate assessment of renal function is essential for determining serum vancomycin (VCM) concentration. Creatinine clearance (Ccr)-calculated using the Cockcroft and Gault (CG) equation-can be used to evaluate renal function for determining VCM dosage. However, Ccr-based evaluation may not be an accurate representation of the renal function in the elderly. Herein, we examine the effectiveness of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) calculated using the Berlin Initiative Study-1 (BIS1) equation, for predicting the serum VCM concentration. Herein, we retrospectively analyzed patients (aged ≥ 75 years) who had received VCM. Serum VCM concentration was predicted based on Ccr and eGFR. eGFR was calculated using the Japanese equation for eGFR (eGFRJAP), Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation (eGFRMDRD), chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation (eGFRCKD-EPI), and BIS1 equation (eGFRBIS1). The predicted serum VCM concentration was compared with the measured values. Prediction bias, accuracy, and precision were evaluated by calculating the mean prediction error (ME), mean absolute prediction error (MAE), and root mean squared prediction error (RMSE). Our results showed that the ME between the measured and the predicted values calculated using Ccr and each eGFR was the largest and smallest when calculated based on Ccr and eGFRMDRD, respectively. MAE and RMSE were the largest and smallest when calculated based on Ccr and eGFRBIS1, respectively. A significant difference was observed in the MAE associated with eGFRJAP, eGFRMDRD, and eGFRCKD-EPI compared to that associated with eGFRBIS1. In conclusion, our results suggest that the BIS1 equation might be useful for determining the VCM dosage in the elderly.

Abstract
Background:
Patients with cardiogenic shock due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can rapidly undergo veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) therapy to recover cardiac output and decrease mortality. However, the clinical indicators predictive of mortality in these patients remain unknown. Methods and Results:
We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study targeting AMI patients undergoing VA-ECMO. All 63 patients undergoing VA-ECMO for AMI at the Japanese Red Cross Kumamoto Hospital between January 1, 2010 and June 30, 2020 were enrolled. An exploratory analysis was conducted using a survival tree model and variables selected in a univariate Cox proportional hazard model. The median survival time from the start of VA-ECMO was 6.3 days, and 77.8% (n=49) of patients died. Survival analysis divided patients into 3 groups based on 2 parameters at the initial medical examination: Group 1, patients with neither hyperglycemia (blood glucose ≥213 mg/dL) nor thrombocytopenia (platelets ≤145,100/μL); Group 2, patients with hyperglycemia; and Group 3, patients with hyperglycemia plus thrombocytopenia. Relative to Group 1, the risk of in-hospital mortality was significantly increased in Group 2 (hazard ratio [HR] 2.25; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13–4.46), and that risk further increased in Group 3 (HR 7.60; 95% CI 3.21–17.95). Conclusions:
Hyperglycemia plus thrombocytopenia on initial medical examination combinatorially increase the risk of mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock due to AMI undergoing VA-ECMO.

Abstract
Triacsins are an intriguing class of specialized metabolites possessing a conserved N-hydroxytriazene moiety not found in any other known natural products. Triacsins are notable as potent acyl-CoA synthetase inhibitors in lipid metabolism, yet their biosynthesis has remained elusive. Through extensive mutagenesis and biochemical studies, we here report all enzymes required to construct and install the N-hydroxytriazene pharmacophore of triacsins. Two distinct ATP-dependent enzymes were revealed to catalyze the two consecutive N-N bond formation reactions, including a glycine-utilizing, hydrazine-forming enzyme (Tri28) and a nitrite-utilizing, N-nitrosating enzyme (Tri17). This study paves the way for future mechanistic interrogation and biocatalytic application of enzymes for N-N bond formation.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), a major cause of death worldwide. Angiopoietin-like protein 3 (ANGPTL3), recognized as a new therapeutic target for dyslipidemia, regulates the metabolism of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglycerides. Here, we design 3 epitopes (E1-E3) for use in development of a peptide vaccine targeting ANGPTL3 and estimate effects of each on obesity-associated dyslipidemia in B6.Cg-Lepob /J (ob/ob) mice. Vaccination with the E3 (32EPKSRFAMLD41) peptide significantly reduces circulating levels of triglycerides, LDL-C, and small dense (sd)-LDL-C in ob/ob mice and decreases obese-induced fatty liver. Moreover, E3 vaccination does not induce cytotoxicity in ob/ob mice. Interestingly, the effect of E3 vaccination on dyslipidemia attenuates development of atherosclerosis in B6.KOR/StmSlc-Apoeshl mice fed a high-cholesterol diet, which represent a model of severe familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) caused by ApoE loss of function. Taken together, ANGPTL3 vaccination could be an effective therapeutic strategy against dyslipidemia and associated diseases.

Abstract
Escherichia coli containing polyketide synthase in the gut microbiota (pks+ E coli) produce a polyketide-peptide genotoxin, colibactin, and are suspected to play a role in the development of colorectal neoplasia. To clarify the role of pks+ E coli in the early stage of tumorigenesis, we investigated whether the pks status of E coli was associated with the prevalence of colorectal neoplasia. This cross-sectional analysis of data from a prospective cohort in Izu Oshima, Japan included asymptomatic residents aged 40-79 years who underwent screening colonoscopy and provided a stool sample. We identified 543 participants with colorectal neoplasia (22 colorectal cancer and 521 adenoma) as cases and 425 participants with normal colon as controls. The pks status of E coli was assayed using stool DNA and specific primers that detected pks+ E coli. The proportion of pks+ E coli was 32.6% among cases and 30.8% among controls. Compared with those with pks- E coli, the odds ratio (OR) (95% confidence interval) for participants with pks+ E coli was 1.04 (0.77-1.41) after adjusting for potential confounders. No statistically significant associations were observed regardless of tumor site or number of colorectal adenoma lesions. However, stratified analyses revealed increased ORs among participants who consumed cereals over the median intake or vegetables under the median intake. Overall, we found no statistically significant association between pks+ E coli and the prevalence of colorectal adenoma lesions among this Japanese cohort. However, positive associations were suggested under certain intake levels of cereals or vegetables.

Abstract
To facilitate sustainable dairy farming, it is essential to assess and support the mental health of dairy farm workers, which is affected more than that of workers in other industries, as indicated by the relatively few studies to date. In addition, the limited investigations on mental health in dairy workers minimize the opportunities to suggest practical approaches of improvement of their mental health. Therefore, further data acquisition and analysis is required. In the present study, we undertook quantitative surveys on 17 management factors and administered a mental health questionnaire to 81 dairy farm managers (80 male, 1 female) in Hokkaido, northern Japan. The management factors were categorized into 3 groups: production input, production output, and facility indicator; mental health was evaluated based on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Principal component analysis assigned the factors into 2 groups: intensiveness factors of dairy production systems (PC1: livestock care cost, fat- and protein-corrected milk, stocking density, medical consultation fee per unit time per animal unit, nonfamily wages, fertilizer and pesticide expenses, and net agricultural income ratio) and basic dairy management factors (PC2: net agricultural income ratio, quantity of concentrate feed, and milk quality variable). The depression symptoms of dairy farm managers were not significantly associated with PC1 and milking methods; however, they were significantly negatively associated with PC2, which integrated 3 management factors, including factors related to finances, feeding, and milk quality. According to the findings of the present study, the efforts needed for stable economic farm management, adequate feed supply, and milk quality maintenance may increase the depression levels of dairy farm managers and negatively affect their mental health. These findings could be the basis for future studies on the relationship between the mental health of farm managers and sustainable dairy farm management and production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Escherichia coli strain that is known to produce the genotoxic secondary metabolite colibactin is linked to colorectal oncogenesis. Therefore, understanding the properties of such colibactin-positive E. coli and the molecular mechanism of oncogenesis by colibactin may provide us with opportunities for early diagnosis or prevention of colorectal oncogenesis. While there have been major advances in the characterization of colibactin-positive E. coli and the toxin it produces, the infection route of the clb + strain remains poorly characterized. RESULTS We examined infants and their treatments during and post-birth periods to examine potential transmission of colibactin-positive E. coli to infants. Here, analysis of fecal samples of infants over the first month of birth for the presence of a colibactin biosynthetic gene revealed that the bacterium may be transmitted from mother to infant through intimate contacts, such as natural childbirth and breastfeeding, but not through food intake. CONCLUSIONS Our finding suggests that transmission of colibactin-positive E. coli appears to be occurring at the very early stage of life of the newborn and hints at the possibility of developing early preventive measures against colorectal cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Can providing quality-assured fertility-related information via a smartphone application improve fertility- and treatment-related literacy among smartphone application users?
Summary answer
Provision of quality-assured fertility-related information via a smartphone application contributed to enhancing fertility- and treatment-related literacy among the smartphone application users.
What is known already
For infertility patients, the interpretation of examination results may be overly complicated and complex, and patients may have difficulty in making sense of their own fertility problems. Accessing and learning about fertility-related information using the Internet via smartphone is reasonable; however, the information does not always reflect evidence-based recommendations and low-quality information may lead to adverse effects on users; thus, innovative methods to provide both accessible and high-quality information are desired.
Study design, size, duration
We performed a randomized control-group pretest posttest study and 4,137 smartphone application users were invited to participate between June 18 and 25, 2020. Participants’ fertility treatment-related literacy were assessed with a pretest that comprised of 28 questions and participants were allocated with stratified randomization to either intervention or control group. The intervention comprised a one-week smartphone application-based provision of information on fertility- and treatment-related information and the control group received general information about women’s healthcare.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The 3,765 participants (91.0 %) who responded were randomly allocated into either the intervention group (N = 1883) or the control group (N = 1882). Characteristics of participants appeared similar between the groups reflecting that the randomization was successful in producing a balance in baseline characteristics. Effectiveness of intervention was assessed using pretest-posttest analysis. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of the National Center for Child Health and Development of Japan (approval number: 2019-184).
Main results and the role of chance
The posttest was completed by 659 participants (17.5%), and finally 207 participants in the intervention group and 222 participants in the control group were available for pretest-posttest analysis. Demographic characteristics of these participants appeared similar between the groups. In comparing the demographic characteristics of participants who did and did not complete the posttest, there were significant differences between the two groups in age, overall test score, proportion living with a partner, and action for pregnancy. For the posttest, the overall mean test scores were significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group (P = 0.0082). Interestingly, we also observed that posttest scores were significantly improved compared to pretest scores in both the intervention group and control group (P < 0.001). When examining by specific test question, the proportion answering correctly appeared to generally increase at posttest compared to pretest for intervention (P < 0.001) and control (P < 0.001) groups. There was over 10% improvement in 7 questions, and particularly, over 20% improvement for a question about clinical significance of anti-Müllerian hormone. Furthermore, directly comparing the difference in posttest versus pretest scores between the two groups showed, on average, greater improvements in the intervention group than the control group (P < 0.001).
Limitations, reasons for caution
As the intervention was educational material, it was not possible to blind participants to intervention group assignment. We were not able to monitor the participants when completing the tests; thus, whether they accessed other resources could not be addressed.
Wider implications of the findings
Providing information through a smartphone application can be considered acceptable since retrieving information through a smartphone application is in line with the current modern day lifestyle. A smartphone application may offer alternatives such as chatbots and movie-based learning, and they have the potential to increase the effectiveness.

Abstract
Monocytes are differentiated into macrophages. In this study, mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) levels and downstream events such as the expression of respiratory chain mRNAs were investigated during the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-induced differentiation of monocytes. Although PMA treatment increased mtDNAcn, the expression levels of mRNAs encoded in mtDNA were decreased. The levels of mitochondrial transcription factor A mRNA and protein were also decreased. The levels of coenzyme Q10 remained unchanged. These results imply that, although mtDNAcn is considered as a health marker, the levels of mtDNAcn may not always be consistent with the parameters of mitochondrial functions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colibactin-producing Escherichia coli containing polyketide synthase (pks+ E. coli) has been shown to be involved in colorectal cancer (CRC) development through gut microbiota analysis in animal models. Stool status has been associated with potentially adverse gut microbiome profiles from fecal analysis in adults. We examined the association between stool patterns and the prevalence of pks+ E. coli isolated from microbiota in fecal samples of 224 healthy Japanese individuals. RESULTS Stool patterns were determined through factorial analysis using a previously validated questionnaire that included stool frequency, volume, color, shape, and odor. Factor scores were classified into tertiles. The prevalence of pks+ E. coli was determined by using specific primers for pks+ E. coli in fecal samples. Plasma and fecal fatty acids were measured via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The prevalence of pks+ E. coli was 26.8%. Three stool patterns identified by factorial analysis accounted for 70.1% of all patterns seen (factor 1: lower frequency, darker color, and harder shape; factor 2: higher volume and softer shape; and factor 3: darker color and stronger odor). Multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) of the prevalence of pks+ E. coli for the highest versus the lowest third of the factor 1 score was 3.16 (1.38 to 7.24; P for trend = 0.006). This stool pattern exhibited a significant positive correlation with fecal isobutyrate, isovalerate, valerate, and hexanoate but showed a significant negative correlation with plasma eicosenoic acid and α-linoleic acid, as well as fecal propionate and succinate. No other stool patterns were significant. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that stool patterns may be useful in the evaluation of the presence of tumorigenic bacteria and fecal fatty acids through self-monitoring of stool status without the requirement for specialist technology or skill. Furthermore, it may provide valuable insight about effective strategies for the early discovery of CRC.

Abstract
Sphaerotilus natans is a filamentous sheath-forming bacterium commonly found in activated sludge. Its sheath is assembled from a thiolic glycoconjugate called thiopeptidoglycan. S. montanus ATCC-BAA-2725 is a sheath-forming member of stream biofilms, and its sheath is morphologically similar to that of S. natans. However, it exhibits heat susceptibility, which distinguishes it from the S. natans sheath. In this study, chemical composition and solid-state NMR analyses suggest that the S. montanus sheath is free of cysteine, indicating that disulfide linkage is not mandatory for sheath formation. The S. montanus sheath was successfully solubilized by N-acetylation, allowing solution-state NMR analysis to determine the sugar sequence. The sheath was susceptible to thiopeptidoglycan lyase prepared from the thiopeptidoglycan-assimilating bacterium, Paenibacillus koleovorans. The reducing ends of the enzymatic digests were labeled with 4-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester, followed by HPLC. Two derivatives were detected, and their structures were determined. We found that the sheath has no peptides and is assembled as follows: [→4)-β-d-GlcA-(1→4)-β-d-Glc-(1→3)-β-d-GalNAc-(1→4)-α-d-GalNAc-(1→4)-α-d-GalN-(1→]n (β-d-Glc and α-d-GalNAc are stoichiometrically and substoichiometrically 3-O-acetylated, respectively). Thiopeptidoglycan lyase was thus confirmed to cleave the 1,4 linkage between α-d-GalN and β-d-GlcA, regardless of the peptide moiety. Furthermore, vital fluorescent staining of the sheath demonstrated that elongation takes place at the tips, as with the S. natans sheath.

Abstract
In the past decade, many long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified and their in vitro functions defined, although in some cases their functions in vivo remain less clear. Moreover, unlike nuclear lncRNAs, the roles of cytoplasmic lncRNAs are less defined. Here, using a gene trapping approach in mouse embryonic stem cells, we identify Caren (short for cardiomyocyte-enriched noncoding transcript), a cytoplasmic lncRNA abundantly expressed in cardiomyocytes. Caren maintains cardiac function under pathological stress by inactivating the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM)-DNA damage response (DDR) pathway and activating mitochondrial bioenergetics. The presence of Caren transcripts does not alter expression of nearby (cis) genes but rather decreases translation of an mRNA transcribed from a distant gene encoding histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein 1 (Hint1), which activates the ATM-DDR pathway and reduces mitochondrial respiratory capacity in cardiomyocytes. Therefore, the cytoplasmic lncRNA Caren functions in cardioprotection by regulating translation of a distant gene and maintaining cardiomyocyte homeostasis.
