Abstract
Intradural exposure in the extended middle fossa anterior transpetrosal approach is traditionally limited to the inferior petrosal sinus inferomedially. Expanding bone removal of the petrous apex around the petrous internal carotid artery (ICA), underneath the trigeminal ganglion/mandibular nerve, and into the lateral component of the clivus can significantly expand the limits of this approach beyond the inferior petrosal sinus and allows for exposure of the midline structures, aspects of the contralateral inferior clival region, and, when high riding, the vertebrobasilar junction. To date, no descriptive techniques for drilling into the lateral clivus in this approach have been published. The authors provide a detailed stepwise description of their complete anterior petrosectomy, in use at their institution, that involves skeletonization of the posteromedial petrous ICA, gentle elevation of the trigeminal ganglion/mandibular nerve, removal of the infratrigeminal petrous apex, and two techniques for drilling into the lateral clivus along the petroclival fissure. These techniques provide a direct and unobstructed corridor to the midpetroclival region and ventral brainstem with greater maneuverability and enhanced control of the midline structures, which is especially useful for resection of petroclival meningiomas, chondrosarcomas, and giant vascular lesions of the mid- and upper basilar artery and its proximal branches.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine whether the Areal Deprivation Index (ADI), an indicator of the socioeconomic status of the community the patient resides in, is associated with delayed arrival at the hospital and poor outcomes in patients with acute ischaemic stroke from a prefecture-wide stroke database in Japan. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Twenty-nine acute stroke hospitals in Kochi prefecture, Japan. PARTICIPANTS Nine thousand and six hundred fifty-one patients with acute ischaemic stroke who were urgently hospitalised, identified using the Kochi Acute Stroke Survey of Onset registry. Capital and non-capital areas were analysed separately. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Prehospital delay defined as hospital arrival ≥4-hour after stroke onset, poor hospital outcomes (in-hospital mortality and discharge to a nursing facility) and the opportunities of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) and endovascular reperfusion therapy. RESULTS In the overall cohort, prehospital delay was observed in 6373 (66%) patients. Among individuals residing in non-capital areas, those living in municipalities with higher ADI (more deprived) carried a significantly higher risk of prehospital delay (per one-point increase, OR (95% CI) 1.45 (1.26 to 1.66)) by multivariable logistic regression analysis. In-hospital mortality (1.45 (1.02 to 2.06)), discharge to a nursing facility (1.31 (1.03 to 1.66)), and delayed candidate arrival ≥2-hour of intravenous rt-PA (2.04 (1.30 to 3.26)) and endovascular reperfusion therapy (2.27 (1.06 to 5.00)), were more likely to be observed in the deprived areas with higher ADI. In the capital areas, postal-code-ADI was not associated with prehospital delay (0.97 (0.66 to 1.41)). CONCLUSIONS Living in socioeconomically disadvantaged municipalities was associated with prehospital delays of acute ischaemic stroke in non-capital areas in Kochi prefecture, Japan. Poorer outcomes of those patients may be caused by delayed treatment of intravenous rt-PA and endovascular reperfusion therapy. Further studies are necessary to determine social risk factors in the capital areas.

Abstract
Background: The cavernous sinus (CS) is a highly vulnerable anatomical space, mainly due to the neurovascular structures that it contains; therefore, a detailed knowledge of its anatomy is mandatory for surgical unlocking. In this study, we compared the anatomy of this region from different endoscopic and microsurgical operative corridors, further focusing on the corresponding anatomic landmarks encountered along these routes. Furthermore, we tried to define the safe entry zones to this venous space from these three different operative corridors, and to provide indications regarding the optimal approach according to the lesion's location. Methods: Five embalmed and injected adult cadaveric specimens (10 sides) separately underwent dissection and exposure of the CS via superior eyelid endoscopic transorbital (SETOA), extended endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal-transethmoidal (EEEA), and microsurgical transcranial fronto-temporo-orbito-zygomatic (FTOZ) approaches. The anatomical landmarks and the content of this venous space were described and compared from these surgical perspectives. Results: The oculomotor triangle can be clearly exposed only by the FTOZ approach. Unlike EEEA, for the exposure of the clinoid triangle content, the anterior clinoid process removal is required for FTOZ and SETOA. The supra- and infratrochlear as well as the anteromedial and anterolateral triangles can be exposed by all three corridors. The most recently introduced SETOA allowed for the exposure of the entire lateral wall of the CS without entering its neurovascular structures and part of the posterior wall; furthermore, thanks to its anteroposterior trajectory, it allowed for the disclosure of the posterior ascending segment of the cavernous ICA with the related sympathetic plexus through the Mullan's triangle, in a minimally invasive fashion. Through the anterolateral triangle, the transorbital corridor allowed us to expose the lateral 180 degrees of the Vidian nerve and artery in the homonymous canal, the anterolateral aspect of the lacerum segment of the ICA at the transition zone from the petrous horizontal to the ascending posterior cavernous segment, surrounded by the carotid sympathetic plexus, and the medial Meckel's cave. Conclusions: Different regions of the cavernous sinus are better exposed by different surgical corridors. The relationship of the tumor with cranial nerves in the lateral wall guides the selection of the approach to cavernous sinus lesions. The transorbital endoscopic approach can be considered to be a safe and minimally invasive complementary surgical corridor to the well-established transcranial and endoscopic endonasal routes for the exposure of selected lesions of the cavernous sinus. Nevertheless, peer knowledge of the anatomy and a surgical learning curve are required.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Utilization an in-situ pedicle of the external carotid artery (ECA) as an arterial donor can allow for the successful augmentation or replacement of flow to a large vascular territory. We propose a mathematical model for quantitatively analyzing and grading the suitability of donor and recipient bypass vessels based on a set of anatomical and surgical variables in order to predict which pair has the greatest possibility for success. Using this method, we analyze all of the potential donor-recipient pairs for each ECA donor vessel-including the superficial temporal (STA), middle meningeal (MMA), and occipital (OA) arteries. METHODS The ECA pedicles were dissected in frontotemporal, middle fossa, subtemporal, retrosigmoid, far lateral, suboccipital, supracerebellar, and occipital transtentorial approaches. For each approach, every potential donor-recipient pair was identified, and donor length and diameter were measured as well as depth of field, angle of exposure, ease of proximal control, maneuverability, and length and diameter of the recipient segment. Anastomotic pair scores were determined by adding the weighted donor and recipient. RESULTS The best overall anastomotic pairs were OA-vertebral artery (V3, 17.1) and STA-insular (M2, 16.3) and STA-sylvian (M3, 15.9) segments of the middle cerebral artery. Other strong anastomotic combinations were OA- telovelotonsillar (15) and OA- tonsilomedullary (14.9) segments of the posterior inferior cerebellar artery, and MMA-lateral pontomesencephalic segment of the superior cerebellar artery (14.2). CONCLUSIONS This novel model for anastamotic pair scoring can serve as a useful clinical tool for selecting the optimal donor, recipient, and approach combination that can help facilitate a successful bypass.

Abstract
Pendulum thrust stands are used to measure the thrust of electric propulsion systems for spacecraft. A thruster is mounted on a pendulum and operated, and the pendulum displacement due to thrust is measured. In this type of measurement, the pendulum is also affected by nonlinear tensions due to wiring and piping that deteriorate the accuracy of the measurement. This influence cannot be ignored in high power electric propulsion systems because complicated piping and thick wirings are required. Therefore, to reduce the influence of tension due to wires and tubes, we developed an inverted pendulum-type thrust stand with pipes and wirings as springs. In this paper, we first derive the design guidelines for spring-shaped wires; the necessary conditions for sensitivity, responsivity, spring shape, and electric wire were formulated. Next, a thrust stand was designed and fabricated based on these guidelines, and the performance of the stand was evaluated through calibration and thrust measurements using a 1 kW-class magneto-plasma-dynamics thruster. The sensitivity of the thrust stand was 17 mN/V, the normalized standard deviation of the variation of the measured values owing to the structure of the thrust stand was 1.8 × 10-3, and the thermal drift during the long-time operation was ∼4.5 × 10-3 mN/s.

Abstract
We apply an artificial neural network (ANN) of 20 hidden layers and backpropagation regression to the forecast of experimental time series from a Kerr lens mode locking (KLM) Ti:sapphire laser and a Nd:vanadate with modulation losses. In both cases the neural network is able to predict up to 10 steps ahead. In the Ti:sapphire laser the prediction in pulse amplitude is accurate even when the pulse is an extreme event. In the Nd:vanadate laser we forecast both pulse amplitude and pulse-to-pulse time separation. In both cases the prediction goes beyond the Lyapunov prediction horizon.

Abstract
A hybrid operating room(Hybrid OR), where operative equipment and flat panel angiography are both available, is becoming common for complex cerebrovascular surgery. However, the current Hybrid OR remains suboptimal as it is not cost-effective and contains uncomfortable operating beds, and a single-plane flat panel. Therefore, we introduced a novel Hybrid OR system, which has a biplane flat panel detector and three mutually exchangeable tailor-made operating beds. In this article, we report our preliminary experience of this novel Hybrid OR, focusing on improved cost-effectiveness by the availability of diagnostic angiography and standard endovascular surgery, optimal selection of three different types of operating beds, and procedural workflow in individual hybrid cerebrovascular surgery.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the association between 11C-methionine positron-emission tomography (11C-methionine PET) findings, isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutation, and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation in patients with grade II and III gliomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were collected from 40 patients with grade II and III gliomas who underwent both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 11C-methionine PET as part of their pre-surgical examination. IDH mutation was examined via DNA sequencing, and MGMT promoter methylation via quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS A threshold of MGMT promoter methylation of 1% was significantly associated with tumour/normal tissue (T/N) ratio. The T/N ratio in samples with MGMT promoter methylation ≥1% was higher than that in samples with MGMT promoter methylation <1%, and the difference was statistically significant (p=0.011). Reliable prediction of MGMT promoter methylation (<1% versus ≥1%) was possible using the T/N ratio under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve with a sensitivity and specificity of 75% each (cut-off value=1.6: p=0.0226, area under the ROC curve [AUC]=0.76172). Conversely, the T/N ratio had no association with IDH mutation (p=0.6). The ROC curve revealed no reliable prediction of IDH mutation using the T/N ratio (p=0.606, AUC=0.60577). CONCLUSION 11C-methionine PET parameters can predict MGMT promoter methylation but not IDH mutation status. 11C-methionine uptake may have limited potential to reflect DNA methylation processes in grade II and III gliomas.

Abstract
AIMS Alterations in microenvironments are a hallmark of cancer, and these alterations in germinomas are of particular significance. Germinoma, the most common subtype of central nervous system germ cell tumours, often exhibits massive immune cell infiltration intermingled with tumour cells. The role of these immune cells in germinoma, however, remains unknown. METHODS We investigated the cellular constituents of immune microenvironments and their clinical impacts on prognosis in 100 germinoma cases. RESULTS Patients with germinomas lower in tumour cell content (i.e. higher immune cell infiltration) had a significantly longer progression-free survival time than those with higher tumour cell contents (P = 0.03). Transcriptome analyses and RNA in-situ hybridization indicated that infiltrating immune cells comprised a wide variety of cell types, including lymphocytes and myelocyte-lineage cells. High expression of CD4 was significantly associated with good prognosis, whereas elevated nitric oxide synthase 2 was associated with poor prognosis. PD1 (PDCD1) was expressed by immune cells present in most germinomas (93.8%), and PD-L1 (CD274) expression was found in tumour cells in the majority of germinomas examined (73.5%). CONCLUSIONS The collective data strongly suggest that infiltrating immune cells play an important role in predicting treatment response. Further investigation should lead to additional categorization of germinoma to safely reduce treatment intensity depending on tumour/immune cell balance and to develop possible future immunotherapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Several environmental factors have been reported to correlate with incidence of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, because of different patient selection and study designs among these studies, meteorological factors that trigger the incidence of SAH in a short hazard period remain unknown. Among meteorological factors, daily temperature changes may disrupt and violate homeostasis and predispose to cerebrovascular circulatory disturbances and strokes. The authors aimed to investigate whether a decline in the temperature from the highest of the previous day to the lowest of the event day (temperature decline from the previous day [TDP]) triggers SAH in the prefecture-wide stroke database. METHODS All 28 participating institutions with primary or comprehensive stroke centers located throughout Kochi Prefecture, Japan, were included in the study. Data collected between January 2012 and December 2016 were analyzed, and 715 consecutive SAH patients with a defined date of onset were enrolled. Meteorological data in this period were obtained from the Kochi Local Meteorological Observatory. A case-crossover study was performed to investigate association of TDP and other environmental factors with onset of SAH. RESULTS The increasing TDP in 1°C on the day of the SAH event was associated with an increased incidence of SAH (OR 1.041, 95% CI 1.007-1.077) after adjustment for other environmental factors. According to the stratified analysis, a significant association between TDP and SAH was observed in women, patients < 65 years old, and patients with weekday onset. Among these factors, increasing TDP had a great impact on SAH onset in patients < 65 years old (p = 0.028, Mann-Whitney U-test). CONCLUSIONS TDP, temperature decline from the highest of the previous day to the lowest of the day, was correlated with the incidence of spontaneous SAH, particularly in younger patients < 65 years old.

Abstract
Background: Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) is an uncommon vascular disease, which manifests as catastrophic intraabdominal hemorrhage caused by rupture of visceral dissecting aneurysms in most cases. The etiology of SAM is still unclear, but SAM may be a vasospastic disorder and the responsible pressor agent is norepinephrine. Recently, abdominal SAM coexisting with intracranial dissecting aneurysms has been reported, but the relationship between intraabdominal and intracranial aneurysms in SAM remains unclear, as no cases of concomitant abdominal SAM and ruptured intracranial saccular aneurysm have been reported. Case Description: A 49-year-old woman underwent emergent clipping for a ruptured saccular aneurysm at the left C1 portion of the internal carotid artery. Intraoperatively, norepinephrine was continuously administered intravenously under general anesthesia. Four days after the subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), the patient suddenly developed shock due to massive hematoma in the abdominal cavity. Imaging showed multiple aneurysms involving the splenic artery, gastroduodenal artery, common hepatic artery, and superior mesenteric artery. Coil embolization of the splenic artery was performed immediately to prevent bleeding. Subsequent treatment for cerebral vasospasm following SAH was performed with prevention of hypertension, and the patient recovered with left temporal lobe infarction. The diagnosis was abdominal SAM based on the clinical, imaging, and laboratory findings. Conclusion: Norepinephrine release induced by SAH and/or iatrogenic administration of norepinephrine may have promoted abdominal SAM in this case. Abdominal SAM may occur subsequent to rupture of ordinary saccular aneurysm, and may provoke catastrophic abdominal hemorrhage in the spasm stage after SAH.

Abstract
Variance in spatial abilities are thought to be determined by in utero levels of testosterone and oestrogen, measurable in adults by the length ratio of the 2nd and 4th digit (2D:4D). We confirmed the relationship between 2D:4D and spatial performance using rats in two different tasks (paired-associate task and watermaze) and replicated this in humans. We further clarified anatomical and functional brain correlates of the association between 2D:4D and spatial performance in humans.

Abstract
The diagnosis of CSF hypovolemia remains controversial. The primary diagnostic factor relies on confirmation of leakage of the CSF based on reduced spinal fluid pressure. Determining the specific leakage site is the most important issue for effective treatment but remains a difficult task. Although CT myelography, radioisotope cisternography, and MRI are commonly performed in the diagnosis of CSF hypovolemia, these techniques can rarely identify the precise leakage site. Therefore, an epidural blood patch is performed in the lumbar spine in many cases. This study reports a new diagnostic modality that can help to confirm the leakage site. Fat-suppressed T2-weighted sagittal images were compared before and after the infusion of 20 ml of saline into the subarachnoid space of the lumbar region to detect the specific leakage site with high probability. Three patients were successfully treated by the epidural blood patch based on data obtained with the new diagnostic modality. Two patients were treated in the cervical region and 1 in the lumbar region. The use of fat-suppressed T2-weighted sagittal images after saline infusion could be a relevant diagnostic modality compared with images obtained by CT myelography, radioisotope cisternography, and ordinary MRI to achieve accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of patients with CSF hypovolemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Noninvasive radiologic evaluation of glioma can facilitate correct diagnosis and detection of malignant transformation. Although positron-emission tomography is considered valuable in the care of patients with gliomas, (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose and (11)C-methionine have reportedly shown ambiguous results in terms of grading and prognostication. The present study compared the diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of diffusion tensor imaging, FDG, and (11)C-methionine PET in nonenhancing gliomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-five consecutive newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed nonenhancing gliomas that underwent both FDG and (11)C-methionine PET were retrospectively investigated (23 grade II and 12 grade III gliomas). Apparent diffusion coefficient, fractional anisotropy, and tumor-to-normal tissue ratios of both FDG and (11)C-methionine PET were compared between grade II and III gliomas. Prognostic values of these parameters were also tested by using progression-free survival. RESULTS Grade III gliomas showed significantly higher average tumor-to-normal tissue and maximum tumor2-to-normal tissue than grade II gliomas in (11)C-methionine (P = .013, P = .0017, respectively), but not in FDG-PET imaging. There was no significant difference in average ADC, minimum ADC, average fractional anisotropy, and maximum fractional anisotropy. (11)C-methionine PET maximum tumor-to-normal tissue ratio of 2.0 was most suitable for detecting grade III gliomas among nonenhancing gliomas (sensitivity, 83.3%; specificity, 73.9%). Among patients not receiving any adjuvant therapy, median progression-free survival was 64.2 ± 7.2 months in patients with maximum tumor-to-normal tissue ratio of <2.0 for (11)C-methionine PET and 18.6 ± 6.9 months in patients with maximum tumor-to-normal tissue ratio of >2.0 (P = .0044). CONCLUSIONS (11)C-methionine PET holds promise for World Health Organization grading and could offer a prognostic imaging biomarker for nonenhancing gliomas.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are the sole population possessing high self-renewal activity in tumors, with their existence affecting tumor recurrence. However, the invasive activity of CSCs has yet to be fully understood. In this article, we established a tumor sphere culture of RSV-M mouse glioma cells (RSV-M-TS) and evaluated their migration and invasion activities. Histological analysis of a tumor formed by cranial injection of the RSV-M-TS cells showed highly invasive properties and similarities with human malignant glioma tissues. When the migration activity of both RSV-M and RSV-M-TS cells were compared by intracranial injection, rapid migration of RSV-M-TS cells was observed. To confirm the invasive capabilities of RSV-M-TS cells, a three-dimensional collagen invasion assay was performed in vitro using RSV-M, RSV-M-TS, and RSV-M-TS cells cultured with medium containing serum. RSV-M and RSV-M-TS cultured with medium containing serum for 8 days indicated low migration activity, while moderate invasion activity was observed in RSV-M-TS cells. This activity was further enhanced by incubation with medium containing serum overnight. To identify the genes involved in this invasion activity, we performed quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) array analysis of RSV-M and RSV-M-TS cells. Of 84 cancer metastasis-related genes, up-regulation was observed in 24 genes, while 4 genes appeared to be down-regulated in RSV-M-TS cells. These results suggest that the enhanced invasive activity of glioma sphere cells correlates with a number of tumor metastasis-related genes and plays a role in the dissemination and invasion of glioma cells.

Abstract
Chronic HCV-infected patients tend to have vitamin D deficiency, suggesting that vitamin D supplementation may enhance the efficacy of treatment with pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV). We therefore assessed the effects of vitamin D supplementation on viral response to PEG-IFN/RBV. Eighty-four patients with HCV genotype 1b were randomized, 42 to oral vitamin D supplementation (1000 IU/day) and 42 to nonsupplementation (control), from week 8 to the end of PEG-IFN/RBV therapy. The primary end point was undetectable HCV RNA at week 24 (viral response [VR]). VR rate at week 24 was significantly higher in the vitamin D than in the control group (78.6% vs 54.8% P = 0.037). Adverse events were similar in both groups. When patients were subdivided by IL28B SNP rs8099917 genotype, those with the TT genotype group showed a significantly higher VR rate at week 24 with than without vitamin D supplementation (86.2% vs 63.3% vs P = 0.044). Although patients with the TG/GG genotype, who were relatively resistant to PEG-IFN treatment, had similar VR rates at week 24 with and without vitamin D supplementation, the decline in viral load from week 8 to week 24 was significantly greater with than without vitamin D supplementation. Multivariate analysis showed that rs8099917 genotype and vitamin D supplementation contributed significantly to VR at week 24. SVR rates were similar in the vitamin D and control groups [64.3% (27/42) vs 50% (21/42), P = 0.19]. Vitamin D supplementation may enhance the effects of PEG-IFN/RBV in HCV genotype 1b-infected patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3-D) stereoscopic vision is theoretically superior to two-dimensional (2-D) vision in endoscopic endonasal surgery. However, only few reports have quantitatively compared endoscopic performance under the two visual conditions. We introduced a newly designed stereoendoscopic system with a "dual-lens and single camera" for endoscopic endonasal surgery and objectively compared the performances under 3-D and high-definition 2-D visualizations on a dry laboratory model. METHODS Thirty subjects without experience performing endoscopic surgery, computer-simulated training or any 3-D video system were recruited and divided into two groups (Group A and Group B) for performing two different tasks. The novel 4.7-mm-diameter stereoendoscope provided high-definition (HD) images. In Task 1, Group A started the task under the 3-D condition followed by the 2-D condition, and Group B vice versa. In Task 2, Group A started the task under the 2-D condition followed by the 3-D condition, and Group B vice versa. The performance accuracy and speed under the two visual conditions were analyzed. RESULTS Significant improvement in performance accuracy and speed was seen under 3-D conditions in the both "3-D first" and "2-D first" subgroups during both tasks (P < .001). Regardless of order, the inaccuracy rate and performance time under 3-D conditions was significantly lower than that under 2-D conditions in each subject. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated the advantage of 3-D visualization over 2-D visualization for inexperienced subjects. Further quantitative clinical studies are required to confirm whether stereoendoscopy actually provides benefits in clinical settings.

Abstract
Because pre-motor neurons targeting trigeminal motoneurons are located in various regions, including the supratrigeminal (SupV) and intertrigeminal (IntV) regions, the principal sensory trigeminal nucleus (PrV), and the region dorsal to the PrV (dRt), a single trigeminal motoneuron may receive differential convergent inputs from these regions. We thus examined the properties of synaptic inputs from these regions to masseter motoneurons (MMNs) and digastric motoneurons (DMNs) in brainstem slice preparations obtained from P1-5 neonatal rats, using whole-cell recordings and laser photolysis of caged glutamate. Photostimulation of multiple regions within the SupV, IntV, PrV, and dRt induced post-synaptic currents (PSCs) in 14 of 19 MMNs and 18 of 26 DMNs. Furthermore, the stimulation of the lateral SupV significantly induced burst PSCs in MMNs more often than low-frequency PSCs in MMNs or burst PSCs in DMNs. Similar results were obtained in the presence of the GABAA receptor antagonist SR95531 and the glycine receptor antagonist strychnine. These results suggest that both neonatal MMNs and DMNs receive convergent glutamatergic inputs from the SupV, IntV, PrV, and dRt, and that the lateral SupV sends burst inputs predominantly to the MMNs. Such convergent pre-motoneuronal inputs to trigeminal motoneurons may contribute to the proper execution of neonatal oro-motor functions.

Abstract
A female with autism, aged over 40 years, who had been hospitalized in a nursing home, developed descending necrotizing mediastinitis requiring tracheostomy. Subsequently, tracheal stenosis was observed. She was referred to our hospital. T-tube therapy was selected, and there has been no recurrence during the 3-year follow-up. We report a patient in whom a T-tube was useful for treating benign tracheal stenosis in the presence of autism.

Abstract
ABSTRACTA KrF excimer laser exposure method has been developed for laboratory use, which employs 10 to 1 achromatic projection lens of 0.37 NA and 5x5 mm field size , and a TTL alignment system using the double diffraction method, which was realized by the use,of the achromatic lens. Novolak type mid-UV resists, such as AZ-5214 and PR-1024, were best suited for use in 248 nm exposure, considering the sensitivity and etching resistance from a practical viewpoint, and an additional post exposure baking process also improved the resist profile. The dependences of the exposure characteristics on the energy density per pulse and pulse frequency of these resists were not observed in the region of the practical exposure conditions. An alignment precision of x±30-= 0.2 μm was achieved for the alignment mark consisting of poly Si pattern. Thus, a 0.3 μm line and space pattern was realized by using tri-level resist process and a 0.2 μm gate pattern was successfully fabricated on the coplanar pattern with a 0.4 μm step.

Abstract
We report of a 77-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital in coma by emergency. A computed tomography scan revealed acute aortic dissection (Stanford type A). We established selective antegrade cerebral perfusion within 3 hours of the onset and then performed ascending aortic replacement. In the state of hypothermia (35 degrees C), the patient was weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient was kept hypothermic until the operation was completed. We kept mild hypothermia (34.5 degrees C) in intensive care unit (ICU) for 40 hours. The patient was extubated at 94 hours after the operation. The patient was discharged from the hospital on foot on postoperative day 21.

Abstract
Quality of life (QOL) of long-term survivors (more than 3 years after surgery) of primary non-small cell lung cancer was studied. QOL was analyzed using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire, 30-Item version 3.0 (QLQ-C30) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Sixty of 91 patients (66%) participated in this study 87 +/- 5 (38-172) months postoperatively. In QLQ-C30, calculated scores of physical (84.0 +/- 2.4), role (81.3 +/- 3.6), cognitive (79.7 +/- 2.6), emotional (86.8 +/- 1.9), and social (91.0 +/- 1.9) functioning, and global QOL (72.6 +/- 2.9) were obtained. Calculated HADS A (anxiety) was 3.3 +/- 0.3 and HADS D (depression) was 4.0 +/- 0.4. Postoperative follow-up duration was correlated with financial impact only. QOL of long-term survivors was influenced by gender histology, marital status, employment status, and academic carrier.

Abstract
Carbon-coated TiO2 powders were prepared from the mixtures of anatase (ST-01) and carbon precursor poly(vinyl alcohol) in different ratios by carbonization at 900 degrees C in a flow of either Ar or N2. Carbon-coated TiQ2 thus prepared was either fixed on an adhesive tape or formed into a film by using the organic binder poly(tetrafluoroethylene) and used for photodecomposition of methylene blue in water repeatedly. On the samples fixed on adhesive tapes, the rate constant was reproduced with about 10-20% scattering during repeated uses in a fresh methylene blue solution up to 7 times. On the samples formed into films by using the organic binder, the rate constant was reproduced after the 3rd or 4th cycle. The mutual relations in rate constant were almost the same among three different conditions for the determination, suspending the sample particles, fixed on an adhesive tape and formed into a film. The rate constant for the photodecomposition was found to give a maximum on the sample containing about 9 mass% carbon.

Abstract
The present study investigated induction of apoptosis in NB-1 oral carcinoma cells by paclitaxel and the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in relation to this apoptotic cell death. Paclitaxel induced apoptotic cell death in NB-1 cells in a dose- and a time-dependent manner. The present results suggest that paclitaxel can induce apoptosis of NB-1 cells, which may be mediated by down-regulation of Bcl-2 together with up-regulation of Bax.

Abstract
Cystic lymphangioma is a benign malformation of the lymphatic channels. Most cystic lymphangiomas are present at birth and are usually diagnosed in infancy or early childhood. The head and neck region appears to be the favored site for cystic lymphangiomas. We present the first reported case of a cystic lymphangioma arising from the tip of the tongue in a 75-year-old male.

Abstract
Respiratory function before and 2 months after lung lobectomy was analyzed associated with resected lobe. Post- or preoperative ratios of FEV1.0 or VC were compared among (1) predicted value by the number of subsegments using bronchofiberscopy, (2) predicted value by the lobar volume ratio using computed tomography (CT), and (3) actually measured value. Using subsegments method, post- or preoperative predicted VC ratios were 85 +/- 1% after right upper lobectomy (RU), 69 +/- 1% after right lower lobetomy (RL), 74 +/- 1% after left upper lobectomy (LU), and 75 +/- 1% after left lower lobectomy (LL). Using CT method, post- or preoperative predicted VC ratios were 80 +/- 2% after RU, 76 +/- 4% after RL, 74 +/- 2% after LU, and 79 +/- 3% after LL. Actually measured post- or preoperative FEV1.0 ratios were 82 +/- 3% after RU, 89 +/- 8% after RL, 73 +/- 3% after LU, and 86 +/- 5% after LL, and the VC ratios were 88 +/- 5% after RU, 79 +/- 3% after RL, 77 +/- 4% after LU, and 94 +/- 3% after LL. In the FEV1.0 analysis using both subsegments method and CT method, the predicted value was correlated with upper lobectomy but was overestimated in case of lower lobectomy. This phenomenon might be caused by the postoperative bronchial branching deformity after upper lobectomy. In the VC analysis using subsegments method, the predicted value was correlated with upper lobectomy but was overestimated in case of lower lobectomy. Meanwhile, in the VC analysis using CT method, the predicted value was correlated with RL or LU but was overestimated in case of RU or LL. This may due to the fact that RL and LU had large lobar volumes. In conclusion, postoperative predicted and actually measured values were different associated with resected lobe. In the FEV1.0 and VC analysis using subsegments method, the predicted value was strongly correlated with upper lobectomy but was overestimated (10%) in case of lower lobectomy.

Abstract
Completion pneumonectomy (CP) is a difficult operation in which the surgeon must use techniques such as intrapericardial ligation of the pulmonary vessels. We report herein a case of CP for a patient with recurrent lung cancer. A 63-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for evaluation of abnormal shadows in the right lung field in October 2002. Right middle lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection had been performed in February 1993. Computed tomography (CT) revealed a hilar mass in the right upper lobe the day after admission. Bronchofiberscopic cytology revealed squamous cell carcinoma. Right completion pneumonectomy was performed on suspicion of metachronous multiple lung cancers 4 days later. Histopathologically, resected specimens represented adenosquamous carcinoma similar to the prior lesion from the middle lobe, and examination revealed that the tumor represented a recurrence following middle lobectomy. The patient remains well as of 19 months postoperatively.

Abstract
A 66-year-old female, who had received a surgery of the neurilemmoma on the abdominal wall 6 years ago, was referred to our hospital because of a chest X-ray abnormality. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed 3 tumors in the left chest wall. One tumor arised from the 7th intercostal nerve and 2 tumors from 8th nerve. These tumors were surgically removed by video-assisted thoracic surgery. These tumors are histopathologically diagnosed as neurilemmoma and have the same characteristics with previously resected abdominal wall tumor.
