Abstract
The mes rat is from an inbred mutant colony of rats with spontaneous eosinophilia. In order to investigate the pathogenesis of the mes rat, the histopathology and hematology for 76 mes rats were examined at several weeks of age. Tissue eosinophilia developed at 8 weeks of age when the blood eosinophil was 500 cells per microliter or more. Subsequently, eosinophilia progressed with age, and splenic eosinophilopoiesis and erythropoiesis appeared simultaneously. Many inflammatory lesions were induced after 10 weeks of age when the blood eosinophils became 1,000 cells per microliter or more. Gastroenteritis and mesenteric lymphadenitis were seen in 44 of 47 (94%) and 31 of 47 (66%) rats, respectively, after 10 weeks of age. Aortitis that deteriorated with age was found in 19 of 39 (49%) rats after 12 weeks of age. Hepatic fibrosis was found in four rats that exhibited severe eosinophilia and anemia. These results are comparable to the features of a hypereosinophilic syndrome in humans and other animals.

Abstract
The Matsumoto Eosinophilic Shinshu (MES) rat originated from an inbred mutant colony of rats with spontaneous eosinophilia. As part of an investigation of the pathogenesis of the MES rat, we examined the haematology data for 106 males and 88 females and age-associated changes using an automated haematology analyser, flow cytometric analysis and morphological examination. The data at 10 weeks of age showed the MES rats had higher counts for eosinophils and neutrophils, slightly higher counts for lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, and large unstained cells (LUCs), and slightly lower values for the erythrocytic parameters when compared with Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. In data for MES rats aged 8 to 20 weeks, eosinophil counts increased with age up to 20 weeks together with some increased neutrophil counts. After 11 weeks of age, counts for lymphocytes, monocytes, basophils, and LUCs in the MES rats were also slightly increased. In female MES rats, flow cytometric analysis showed increased counts for pan-T+ cells, but blasts, abnormal granulocytes and lymphocytes were not detected morphologically. The MES rat characterized by the haematological findings could be a useful animal model for studies of hypereosinophilia.

Abstract
Gene therapies may be promising for the treatment of peritoneal fibrosis (PF) in subjects undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). However, a method of delivery of treatment genes to the peritoneum is lacking. We attempted to develop an in vivo small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery system with liposome-based nanoparticles (NPs) to the peritoneum to inhibit PF. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-siRNAs encapsulated in NPs (TGF-β1-siRNAs-NPs) dissolved in PD fluid were injected into the peritoneum of mice with PF three times a week for 2 weeks. TGF-β1-siRNAs-NPs knocked down TGF-β1 expression significantly in the peritoneum and inhibited peritoneal thickening with fibrous changes. TGF-β1-siRNAs-NPs also inhibited the increase of expression of α-smooth muscle actin-positive myofibroblasts. These results suggest that the TGF-β1-siRNA delivery system with NPs described here could be an effective therapeutic option for PF in subjects undergoing PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Klotho, a single-pass transmembrane protein primarily expressed in the kidneys, parathyroid glands, and choroid plexus of the brain, has a short cytoplasmic tail and a long extracellular domain, which can be cleaved and released as a soluble form. However, information regarding the origins and kinetics of soluble serum Klotho remains poorly understood. We evaluated serial changes in serum Klotho levels among living donors before and after retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy as well as in their renal transplant recipients. METHODS The levels of soluble Klotho in serum obtained from 10 living donors and their renal transplant recipients were determined using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system. RESULTS Serum soluble Klotho was detectable in all subjects. The baseline serum Klotho concentrations in the living donors ranged from 726.4 to 1417.1 pg/mL (median, 909.8 pg/mL; interquartile ranges [IR], 754.8-1132.4), whereas that in the concomitant renal transplant recipients ranged from 397.5 to 1047.2 pg/mL (median, 613.0 pg/mL; IR, 445.9-750.8; P = .003). The levels of soluble serum Klotho measured 5 days after retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy (median, 619.0 pg/mL; IR, 544.6-688.5; P = .001) were significantly lower than the baseline values. Among the renal transplant recipients, no significant changes in serum Klotho levels were observed during the observation period. CONCLUSION Our data regarding soluble serum Klotho levels obtained from living donors support the idea that the kidneys are a major source of soluble serum Klotho in human subjects without a deterioration of renal function. In recipients, concomitant acute kidney injuries and immunosuppressive protocols might modulate the release of soluble Klotho from the grafts into the circulation.

Abstract
Efficient injection of spin-polarized current into a semiconductor is a basic prerequisite for building semiconductor-based spintronic devices. Here, we use inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy to show that the efficiency of spin-filter-type spin injectors is limited by spin scattering of the tunneling electrons. By matching the Fermi-surface shapes of the current injection source and target electrode material, spin injection efficiency can be significantly increased in epitaxial ferromagnetic insulator tunnel junctions. Our results demonstrate that not only structural but also Fermi-surface matching is important to suppress scattering processes in spintronic devices.

Abstract
The nucleus 49Sc, having a single f(7/2) proton outside doubly magic 48Ca (Z=20, N=28), is one of the very few isotopes which makes possible testing of the fundamental theory of nuclear magnetism. The magnetic moment has been measured by online β NMR of nuclei oriented at milli-Kelvin temperatures to be (+)5.616(25) μ(N). The result is discussed in terms of a detailed theory of the structure of the magnetic moment operator, showing excellent agreement with calculated departure from the f(7/2) Schmidt limit extreme single-particle value. The measurement completes the sequence of moments of Sc isotopes with even numbers of f(7/2) neutrons: the first such isotopic chain between two major shells for which a full set of moment measurements exists. The result further completes the isotonic sequence of ground-state moments of nuclei with an odd number of f(7/2) protons coupled to a closed subshell of f(7/2) neutrons. Comparison with a recent shell-model calculation of the latter sequence is made.

Abstract
Transurethral vaporization of the prostate in saline (TURisV) is an innovative endoscopic surgical modality for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that vaporizes prostate tissue using a uniquely designed mushroom electrode. TURisV promises instant hemostatic tissue ablation under saline irrigation and offers clinical advantages for endoscopic BPH operations. From July 2008 to February 2009, TURisV was performed in 17 cases with clinically significant BPH. Median operation time was 127.0 min and median volume of vaporized prostate tissue was 41.1 g. Median International Prostate Symptom Score improved from 20 to 4 after 12 months. Median maximum flow rate increased from 5.3 mL/s to 13.8 mL/s after 12 months. Postoperative median residual urine improved from 48.0 mL to 7.0 mL after 12 months. No changes in hemoglobin or electrolyte levels were seen postoperatively. Our results suggest that TURisV is a safe and efficacious treatment for BPH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nuclear factor (NF)-κB is a transcription factor that regulates cytokine and chemokine production in various inflammatory diseases, including bronchial asthma. IκB kinase (IKK) β is important for NF-κB activation in inflammatory conditions, and is possibly related to airway remodelling. Thus, inhibition of the IKKβ-NF-κB pathway may be an ideal strategy for the management of airway remodelling. OBJECTIVE We examined the effects of a newly synthesized IKKβ inhibitor, IMD-0354, in a chronic allergen exposure model of bronchial asthma in mice. METHODS A chronic mouse model was generated by challenge with house dust mite antigen (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus). IMD-0354 was administrated intraperitoneally in therapeutic groups. Lung histopathology, hyperresponsiveness and the concentrations of mediators and molecules in supernatants of lung homogenates were determined. RESULTS NF-κB activation was inhibited by prolonged periods of IMD-0354 administration. IMD-0354 reduced the numbers of bronchial eosinophils. IMD-0354 also inhibited the pathological features of airway remodelling, including goblet cell hyperplasia, subepithelial fibrosis, collagen deposition and smooth muscle hypertrophy. Inhibition of these structural changes by IMD-0354 was the result of the suppressing the production and activation of remodelling-related mediators, such as TGF-β, via inhibition of IKKβ. IMD-0354 inhibited IL-13 and IL-1β production, and it restored the production of IFN-γ. It also ameliorated airway hyperresponsiveness. CONCLUSION IKKβ plays crucial roles in airway inflammation and remodelling in a chronic mouse model of asthma. A specific IKKβ inhibitor, IMD-0354, may be therapeutically beneficial for treating airway inflammation and remodelling in chronic asthma.

Abstract
We investigated the attractiveness of a synthetic form of the pheromone of the soybean stink bug, Piezodorus hybneri (Gmelin), under field conditions, and compared it with that of (E)-2-hexenyl (E)-2-hexenoate, a pheromone component of a competitor, Riptortus pedestris (Fabricius). Many adult stink bugs were attracted to traps baited with 100 mg of the synthetic pheromone (1: 1: one mixture of β-sesquiphellandrene, (R)-15-hexadecanolide, and methyl (Z)-8-hexadecenoate), but few were attracted to 1 or 10 mg. More than twice as many females as males were attracted to this male-produced pheromone. None of the individual pheromone components (30 mg) attracted conspecifics. In summer (June-July), when field P. hybneri were not in diapause, (E)-2-hexenyl (E)-2-hexenoate was more attractive to P. hybneri than the synthetic pheromone. The sex ratio of the adults attracted to the synthetic pheromone was highly female-biased, yet almost equal numbers of both sexes were attracted to (E)-2-hexenyl (E)-2-hexenoate. Most females attracted to both attractants were mated and had mature ovaries. However, adults attracted to (E)-2-hexenyl (E)-2-hexenoate were likely to have less food in their stomach than those attracted to the synthetic pheromone. In late autumn (October-November), when the bugs were in reproductive diapause, both attractants attracted many sexually immature female and male adults that had well-developed fat body. The synthetic pheromone also attracted a large number of conspecific nymphs. These results suggest that P. hybneri pheromone and R. pedestris pheromone component, respectively, have different functions for P. hybneri. The male-produced pheromone system of P. hybneri seems to be sex-related but to have other roles.

Abstract
We describe here the interesting case of a 73-year-old hypertensive man with pseudoaldosteronism. He had been taking glycyrrhizin at a dose of 75 mg/day for 12 years because of mild liver damage, but had never experienced any previous symptoms associated with hypokalemia. He was referred to our hospital because of hypokalemic tetraparesis and rhabdomyolysis. At that time, we noted mineralocorticoid excess characterized by hypokalemia due to urinary K loss, exacerbation of hypertension due to increased tubular Na reabsorption, metabolic alkalosis, and suppression of both plasma renin activity and plasma aldosterone concentration. His urinary free cortisol excretion rate and the urinary ratio of free cortisol to free cortisone were markedly elevated. Thus we diagnosed pseudoaldosteronism that was related to the long-term use of glycyrrhizin. When he developed pseudoaldosteronism, he also contracted pneumonia, and exhibited elevated levels of serum cortisol and creatinine clearance (CCr) as well as hypouricemia, hypocalcemia, and hypophosphatemia. All normalized after the recovery from pneumonia and the administration of spironolactone. The extracellular volume expansion associated with increased tubular Na reabsorption by the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron and the resulting increase in CCr caused an inhibition of proximal tubular reabsorption of uric acid, Ca, and inorganic phosphate, leading to their renal loss and therefore hypouricemia, hypocalcemia, and hypophosphatemia, respectively. In this patient, the increased circulating cortisol associated with the stress of inflammation caused by pneumonia triggered the development of pseudoaldosteronism.

Abstract
Eleocharis vivipara Link, a freshwater amphibious leafless plant belonging to the Cyperaceae can grow in both terrestrial and submersed aquatic conditions. Two forms of E. vivipara obtained from these contrasting environments were examined for the characteristics associated with C(4) and C(3) photosynthesis. In the terrestrial form (delta (13)C values = -13.5 to -15.4 per thousand, where per thousand is parts per thousand), the culms, which are photosynthetic organs, possess a Kranz-type anatomy typical of C(4) plants, and well-developed bundle-sheath cells contain numerous large chloroplasts. In the submersed form (delta (13)C value = -25.9 per thousand), the culms possess anatomical features characteristic of submersed aquatic plants, and the reduced bundle-sheath cells contain only a few small chloroplasts. (14)C pulse-(12)C chase experiments showed that the terrestrial form and the submersed form fix carbon by way of the C(4) pathway, with aspartate (40%) and malate (35%) as the main primary products, and by way of the C(3) pathway, with 3-phosphoglyceric acid (53%) and sugar phosphates (14%) as the main primary products, respectively. The terrestrial form showed photosynthetic enzyme activities typical of the NAD-malic enzyme-C(4) subtype, whereas the submersed form showed decreased activities of key C(4) enzymes and an increased ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.39) activity. These data suggest that this species can differentiate into the C(4) mode under terrestrial conditions and into the C(3) mode under submersed conditions.

Abstract
The dehydriding reaction of single-phase alpha- AlH3 was investigated by in situ microscopic observations combined with thermal and surface analyses. Before the dehydriding reaction, primary AlH3 particles of size 100 nm-1 microm were thought to be covered by an oxide layer with a thickness of less than 5 nm. Both the precipitation/grain-growth of metallic Al of size 1-50 nm and an increase in 'boundary space' were clearly observed inside the particles, while the morphologies of the particles covered by the layer did not change during the dehydriding reaction. This preliminary report provides fundamental information for a further study of AlH3 as a possible hydrogen storage material.

Abstract
We report a case of a 17-year-old male with relapse of minimal-change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS), in whom apheresis monotherapy without steroids or immunosuppressants resulted in complete remission. The patient initially developed nephrotic syndrome in February 1998. The first renal biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of MCNS. The patient was also found to be a carrier of hepatitis B virus. Steroid therapy was started with oral prednisolone 60 mg/day. Complete remission was achieved in 3 months, and the steroid treatment was tapered off in May 2001. During the steroid tapering, temporal exacerbation of liver function was noted. In July 2002, the patient was admitted to our hospital again due to relapse of nephrotic syndrome. Second biopsy reconfirmed the diagnosis of MCNS. Since the serum titer of HBV was elevated, apheresis monotherapy was selected to avoid the risk of steroid-induced fulminant hepatitis. Four sessions of low-density lipoprotein apheresis (LDL-A) and 5 sessions of double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) reduced the proteinuria from 9.2 g/day to 0.2 g/day over 38 days without any additional medication. Proteinuria remained suppressed below 0.2 g/day for more than 12 months and no exacerbation of liver function was observed up to the final follow-up in September 2003. The present case suggested the potential of apheresis monotherapy to induce and maintain complete remission of MCNS and an important role of circulating factors in the pathogenesis of MCNS.

Abstract
Tubulointerstitial nephritis is a well-recognized complication in primary Sjögrens syndrome. Fanconi's syndrome is a far less frequent complication compared with distal tubular dysfunction. We here describe a 49-year-old woman with primary Sjögren's syndrome. In 1997, she was diagnosed with primary Sjögren's syndrome with tubulointerstitial nephritis, and was then treated with oral prednisolone for the tubulointerstitial nephritis. In 2002, she was referred to our hospital because of progressive fatigue. At that time, biclonal spike on serum protein (IgG-kappa and IgA-kappa) and Bence-Jones protein in urine were found. Bone marrow aspiration showed 1.0% plasma cell infiltration. Thus, a diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) was made. In 2004, she was again admitted to our hospital because of mild renal dysfunction and hypokalemia. Laboratory evaluation showed inappropriate, alkaline urine in hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and a positive urine anion gap, indicating the presence of distal (Type 1) renal tubular acidosis (RTA). The urine concentration defect was also found. Further studies revealed proximal tubular dysfunction, including renal glycosuria, generalized aminoaciduria, phosphaturia, uricosuria and proximal RTA. The kidney biopsy represented diffuse and severe tubulointerstitial nephritis with dense infiltrates of lymphocytes and IgA and K light chain-positive plasma cells. No findings of multiple myeloma or malignant lymphoma were observed. In conclusion, our patient had Sjögren's syndrome with MGUS and exhibited dysfunction of both proximal tubule (Fanconi's syndrome) and distal tubule, which may be attributed to diffuse tubulointerstitial nephritis.

Abstract
Despite the crucial role of calcium in myocardial contractility, hypocalcemia has very rarely been reported as a reversible cause of heart failure. In this article, we describe a case of a 51-year-old woman with advanced stages of chronic renal failure after parathyroidectomy who exhibited congestive heart failure, severe hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia and hypokalemia. Severe hypocalcemia resulted from discontinuation of taking calcium supplements after parathyroidectomy and from reduced 1.25(OH)2D3 synthesis by damaged kidneys. The patient presented with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and ECG abnormalities (T wave alternans and increased QTc dispersion), both of which improved after correction of serum calcium levels. Her serum levels of total calcium corrected for serum albumin, but not serum levels of magnesium or potassium, positively and negatively correlated with EF and QTc dispersion, respectively. In the present case, both heart failure and the ECG abnormalities are directly associated with hypocalcemia.

Abstract
A Ramsey's method with pulsed neutrons is discussed for neutron spin manipulation in a time reversal (T) symmetry violation experiment. The neutron spin (s n) is aligned to the direction of a vector product of the nuclear spin ( I ) and the neutron momentum ( k n) for the measurement of a T-odd correlation term, which is represented as s n · ( k n × I ), during propagation through a polarized nuclear target. The phase control and amplitude modulation of separated oscillatory fields are discussed for the measurement of the T-odd correlation term.

Abstract
The NPDGamma γ-ray detector has been built to measure, with high accuracy, the size of the small parity-violating asymmetry in the angular distribution of gamma rays from the capture of polarized cold neutrons by protons. The high cold neutron flux at the Los Alamos Neutron Scattering Center (LANSCE) spallation neutron source and control of systematic errors require the use of current mode detection with vacuum photodiodes and low-noise solid-state preamplifiers. We show that the detector array operates at counting statistics and that the asymmetries due to B4C and (27)Al are zero to with- in 2 × 10(-6) and 7 × 10(-7), respectively. Boron and aluminum are used throughout the experiment. The results presented here are preliminary.
