Abstract
To further our understanding of the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) E17 guideline and promote effective implementation, a public workshop was held in Japan by regulatory agency and industry representatives. In this workshop, important concepts explained in the ICH E17 guideline, such as intrinsic/extrinsic ethnic factors that influence treatment effects ("effect modifiers") and the holistic evaluation of consistency of treatment effect were actively discussed through case studies. The importance of holistic evaluation of consistency was recognized, and it was concluded that the evaluation and relevant discussion should be shared with regulatory authorities, sponsors, and broader stakeholders.

Abstract
We investigated the association between everyday memory and autistic traits in adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD, n=22) and healthy adults (n=20) by using the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test (RBMT). A generalized linear model (GLM) was used to explore the relationships between the subjects' performance on the RBMT as the objective variable and the composite score of the Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) as the explanatory variable. Multiple models were created with the AQ subscales ('Social skills,' 'Attention-shifting,' 'Attention to details,' 'Communication,' 'Imagination'), age, gender, the full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ), the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale added as the moderator variables. The GLM revealed that the AQ subscale 'Social skills' significantly predicted the RBMT-total scores with age, gender, and psychological measures scores as the moderator variables (Model 4: B=0.752, 95%CI: 0.191 to 1.313, p<0.01). Also, The GLM revealed that the AQ subscale 'Communication', in addition to 'Social skills', significantly predicted the RBMT- 'Prospective memory' (Model 4: B=0.298, 95%CI: 0.19 to 0.578, p<0.05). These results indicate an influence of social skills on everyday memory functioning, highlighting the weakness of memory processing in everyday life situations among individuals with ASD.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What are the similarities and differences between the morphokinetics of abnormal, one- (1PN) and three-pronuclear (3PN) and normal bi-pronuclear (2PN) fertilisation?
Summary answer
The morphokinetic analysis of 1PN/3PN fertilisation reveals novel aspects of abnormal early development.
What is known already
Assisted reproduction technology has allowed the observation of early human development. Initially assessed statically at a single time point, fertilization has revealed its complexity once observed by Time-Lapse Microscopy (TLM). Detailed morphokinetic analysis of fertilisation has been reported in the last few years, unveiling previously unknown cytoplasmic phenomena (e.g. the cytoplasmic wave and halo) and the importance of cell symmetry for embryo development. At present, abnormal fertilization remains neglected, despite potential for understanding the physiology and pathology of early human development.
Study design, size, duration
This retrospective study involved TLM observation of normally (2PN, n = 2,685) and abnormally (1PN, n = 41; 3PN, n = 127) fertilised oocytes generated in ICSI cycles. Oocyte retrievals were carried out after the clomiphene citrate-based minimal ovarian stimulation, between October 2019 and December 2020. Oocytes of patients with different diagnoses of infertility were included in the analysis, while cases involving cryopreserved gametes or surgically retrieved sperm were excluded.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Microinjected oocytes were assessed by a combined TLM-culture system (Embryoscope). Oocytes not suitable for TLM assessment, due to excess of residual corona cells or inadequate orientation for correct observation, were not analysed. Phenomena, relevant to meiotic resumption, pronuclear dynamics, cytoplasmic/cortical modifications, cleavage pattern, and embryo quality, were annotated and compared between groups.
Main results and the role of chance
Second polar body (PBII) extrusion was observed in all 1PN- and in a majority of 3PN-zygotes (92.1%). A 0.3-hour delay in PBII extrusion was confirmed in 3PN-zygotes (P = 0.0439). In a significant proportion of 3PN-zygotes, a third (female) PN formed from reabsorption of the PBII. The cytoplasmic wave was observed not only in 2PN- and 3PN-, but also in 1PN-zygotes. The presence and position of cytoplasmic halo were comparable among the three classes of zygotes. However, the duration of the cytoplasmic halo was prolonged in 1PN-zygotes (P < 0.0001). PN juxtaposition immediately before PN breakdown was less frequent in 3PN- compared with 2PN-zygotes (P = 0.0159). Furthermore, asynchronous PN breakdown was increased in 3PN- compared with 2PN-zygotes (P = 0.0026). The PN area of 1PN- was larger than that of 2PN-zygotes; however, the PN area of 3PN-zygotes was smaller than that of 2PN-zygotes. In 1PN-zygotes, a developmental delay was observed starting from the disappearance of the cytoplasmic halo, reaching 9 hours at the time of cleavage (P < 0.0001). A higher incidence of abnormal cleavage (P = 0.0019) and blastomere fragmentation (P < 0.0001) was observed in 1PN-zygotes. Cleavage progression was increasingly affected especially in 1PN-zygotes, resulting in blastocyst formation rates of 70.2%, 12.2% and 53.5% in 2PN-, 1PN- and 3PN-zygotes, respectively (P < 0.0001).
Limitations, reasons for caution
The study data derive from treatments carried out in a single centre. The study findings therefore require independent verification from other research groups.
Wider implications of the findings
These observations suggest that 1PN and 3PN fertilisation follow the general pattern of normal fertilization. Crucially, they also shed light on diverse and previously undescribed phenomena - e.g. reabsorption of the PBII in 3PN zygotes - underpinning the origins of abnormal fertilization and potentially clinically relevant.

Background/Introduction
A novel mapping algorithm recently became available in Europe and select countries in the Asia Pacific region. EnSite Omnipolar Technology (OT) utilizes the Advisor HD Grid Mapping Catheter, Sensor Enabled (HD Grid) to calculate electrograms in 360 degrees from two bipolar and three unipolar electrograms acquired from a triangular set of three electrodes. This software also enables calculation of wavefront characteristics including maximum voltage, activation direction and wave speed. Procedural characteristics and clinical utilization of this novel software have not yet been reported.
Purpose
To examine the clinical utility and procedural characteristics associated with the use of this novel mapping algorithm among participating centers.
Methods
Acute procedural data were prospectively collected in 386 cases at 52 centers utilizing the newly approved mapping software in the initial phases of commercialization in Europe and the Asia Pacific region. Procedural characteristics recorded included indication for mapping/ablation, navigation mode, mapping reference, and maps and tools used to diagnose/locate ablation targets.
Results
A total of 14 indications for mapping and ablation were represented including AF, atypical flutter, and VT (Table 1). VoXel (magnetic primary) navigation mode was used in most cases (n=325, 84%). The CS catheter was used as the map reference in 280 cases (73%). A variety of workflows were used with OT to diagnose and locate ablation targets including voltage maps (n=275, 71%), LAT maps (n=226, 59%), OT activation vectors (n=124, 32%), propagation maps (n=94, 24%), and sparkle maps (n=69, 18%); note: total exceeds 100%, multiple workflows per case observed. EnSite LiveView Dynamic Display (LiveView) was used in 129 cases (33%) to diagnose and locate ablation targets, including 28 (22%) where OT activation vectors were used with LiveView. Several benefits of OT were reported including rapid identification of ablation target(s) (n=133, 35%), higher point density (n=82, 21%), better signals (n=69, 18%), and improved procedure efficiency (n=48, 12%).
Conclusion(s)
Initial experience with this novel mapping software in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region illustrated utility in a variety of arrhythmias to diagnose and locate ablation targets. The use of OT provided several benefits including rapid identification of ablation targets and higher point density, however further examination of its impact on procedural efficiencies and acute outcomes is likely warranted.

Abstract
We study the critical dynamics of vortices associated with dynamic disordering near the depinning transitions driven by dc force (dc current I) and vortex density (magnetic field B). Independent of the driving parameters, I and B, we observe the critical behavior of the depinning transitions, not only on the moving side, but also on the pinned side of the transition, which is the first convincing verification of the theoretical prediction.

The critical exponents of both transitions are, within errors, identical to each other, which are in agreement with the values expected for an absorbing phase transition in the two-dimensional directed-percolation universality class. With an increase in B under constant I, the depinning transition at low B is replaced by the repinning transition at high B in the peak-effect regime. We find a trend that the critical exponents in the peak-effect regime are slightly smaller than those in the low-B regime and the theoretical one, which is attributed to the slight difference in the depinning mechanism in the peak-effect regime.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND METHODS Data from 2 randomized liver transplant trials (N = 772; H2304 [deceased donor, n = 488], H2307 [living donor, n = 284]) were pooled to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of everolimus with reduced tacrolimus (EVR + rTAC) versus standard tacrolimus (sTAC) regimen at month 24. RESULTS EVR + rTAC was comparable to sTAC for composite efficacy failure of treated biopsy-proven acute rejection, graft loss, or death (9.8% versus 10.8%; difference, -1.0%; 95% confidence interval, -5.4 to 3.4; P = 0.641) at month 24. EVR + rTAC was superior to sTAC for the mean change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from randomization to month 24 (-8.37 versus -13.40 mL/min/1.73 m2; P = 0.001). A subanalysis of renal function by chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage at randomization showed significantly lower decline in eGFR from randomization to month 24 for patients with CKD stage 1/2 (eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) in EVR + rTAC group versus sTAC (-12.82 versus -17.67 mL/min/1.73 m2, P = 0.009). In patients transplanted for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) beyond Milan criteria, HCC recurrence was numerically lower although not statistically significant with EVR + rTAC versus sTAC group (5.9% [1 of 17] versus 23.1% [6 of 26], P = 0.215), while comparable in patients within Milan criteria (2.9% [3 of 102] versus 2.1% [2 of 96], P = 1.000), irrespective of pretransplant alpha-fetoprotein levels. CONCLUSIONS EVR + rTAC versus sTAC showed comparable efficacy and safety with significantly better renal function, particularly in patients with normal/mildly decreased renal function (CKD stage 1/2) at randomization and a trend toward lower HCC recurrence in patients transplanted with HCC beyond Milan at month 24. Further long-term data would be required to confirm these results.

Abstract
The field-induced superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) in two-dimensional (2D) systems is a famous example of a quantum phase transition. However, an emergence of an anomalous metallic state induced by field has been a long-standing problem in 2D superconductors. While theories predicted that the emergence is attributed to strong phase fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter due to quantum fluctuations, usual resistance measurements have not probed them directly. Here, using Nernst effect measurements, we uncover superconducting fluctuations in the vicinity of the field-induced metallic state in an amorphous Mo_{x}Ge_{1-x} thin film. The field range where the vortex Nernst signals are detectable remains nonzero toward zero temperature, and it locates inside the metallic state defined by the magnetoresistance, indicating that the metallic state results from quantum vortex liquid (QVL) with phase fluctuations due to quantum fluctuations. Slow decay of transport entropy of vortices in the QVL with decreasing temperature suggests that the metallic state originates from broadening of a quantum critical point in SIT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Effective training programs for managing people with challenging behaviors should be established in both welfare and education settings, as it is important that the support system for challenging behaviors covers the entire life span. For consistent support, it is necessary to understand the difficulties and needs of support staff in caring for people with challenging behaviors from infancy through adulthood. The purpose of this study was to gather data from welfare facility staff and special school teachers regarding their difficulties and needs for managing challenging behaviors, and to determine the differences between teachers and staff members. METHODS We investigated Japanese special school teachers (n = 317) and the staff of welfare facilities for intellectual disabilities (n = 202) regarding their difficulties and needs. The questionnaire comprised 23 items related to the needs and difficulties in responding to challenging behaviors. RESULTS Three factors were extracted from the analysis of the survey items: "Difficulty in coordination and information sharing with other organizations," "Difficulty in the workplace," and "Difficulty in support and response." The overall trend was that welfare staff have more difficulties and needs than special school teachers. CONCLUSION It is necessary to emphasize not only how to respond to challenging behavior but also the importance of establishing a collaborative system within the workplace and with other organizations for staff training in light of their perceptions of working conditions.

Abstract
Precision medicine is an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that accounts for individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle. Cancer is a genomic disease; therefore, the dose-efficacy and dose-toxicity relationships for molecularly targeted agents in cancer most likely differ, based on the genomic mutation pattern. The individualized optimal dose - the maximal efficacious dose with a clinically acceptable safety profile - may vary depending on the genomic mutation patterns and should be determined prior to the use of these agents in precision medicine. In addition, genes that influence the individualized optimal doses should be identified in early-phase development. In this study, we propose a novel dose-finding approach to identify the individualized optimal dose for molecularly targeted agents in phase I cancer trials. Individualized optimal dose determination and gene selection were conducted simultaneously based on L 1 and L 2 penalized regression. Similar to most reported dose-finding approaches, this study considers non-monotonic patterns for dose-efficacy and dose-toxicity relationships, as well as correlations between efficacy and toxicity outcomes based on multinomial distribution. Our dose-finding algorithm is based on the predictive probability calculated with an estimated penalized regression model. We compare the operating characteristics between the proposed and existing methods by simulation studies under various scenarios.

Abstract
We investigated the change in the metal-molecule interaction in a 1,4-benzenedithiol (BDT) single-molecule junction using a combination of surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectra and current-voltage curves. During the stretching process, the conductance of the junction systematically decreased, accompanied by an increase in the vibrational energy of the CC stretching mode. By analyzing the current-voltage curves and Raman spectra, we found that the interaction between the π orbital of BDT and the electronic states of Au was diminished by the orientation change of BDT during the stretching process. A comparison with a 4,4'-bipyridine single-molecule junction revealed that the reduction of coupling of the Au-S contacts was smaller than that of Au-pyridine contacts. Therefore, the electronic states originating from the contact geometry are responsible for the tolerance to the stretching of thiol-terminated molecular junctions.

Abstract
Halogenation of organic compounds is one the most important transformations in chemical synthesis and is used for the production of various industrial products. A variety of halogenated bisphenol analogs have recently been developed and are used as alternatives to bisphenol A (BPA), which is a raw material of polycarbonate that has adverse effects in animals. However, limited information is available on the potential toxicity of the halogenated BPA analogs. In the present study, to assess the latent toxicity of halogenated BPA analogs, we evaluated the binding and transcriptional activities of halogenated BPA analogs to the estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ), a nuclear receptor that contributes to the growth of nerves and sexual glands. Fluorinated BPA analogs demonstrated strong ERRγ binding potency, and inverse antagonistic activity, similar to BPA. X-ray crystallography and fragment molecular orbital (FMO) calculation revealed that a fluorine-substituted BPA analog could interact with several amino acid residues of ERRγ-LBD, strengthening the binding affinity of the analogs. The ERRγ binding affinity and transcriptional activity of the halogenated BPAs decreased with the increase in the size and number of halogen atom(s). The IC50 values, determined by the competitive binding assay, correlated well with the binding energy obtained from the docking calculation, suggesting that the docking calculation could correctly estimate the ERRγ binding potency of the BPA analogs. These results confirmed that ERRγ has a ligand binding pocket that fits very well to BPA. Furthermore, this study showed that the binding affinity of the BPA analogs can be predicted by the docking calculation, indicating the importance of the calculation method in the risk assessment of halogenated compounds.

Abstract
The recommended phase 2 doses of molecularly targeted agents, determined by using an ordinal dose-finding method that only uses toxicity data at first cycle, may not be optimal. Some researchers have proposed the use of relative dose intensity that can account for late-onset, cumulative, and low-grade toxicities to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). In this study, we proposed two dose escalation methods based on the observed relative dose intensities (RDIs) between the pre-specified intervals (cycles) for toxicity evaluation used in combination with DLT evaluation in the first cycle. First, we propose the modified 3 + 3 design that incorporates longitudinal RDI assessment. Second, we propose the sequential assessment method for longitudinal RDI (SARDI) to achieve faster dose escalation compared to that of the modified 3 + 3 design. Simulation studies demonstrated that the SARDI was, in many cases, superior to the ordinal and modified 3 + 3 designs in respect to the selection rate of true RP2D and study period. The two proposed methods could also in some cases decrease the average number of patients enrolled in the trial compared to that of the ordinary 3 + 3 design. Incorporation of the RDI assessment into the 3 + 3 design is not difficult and does not require the use of complex statistical techniques. Therefore, we believe that investigators who routinely use the 3 + 3 design in practice can easily use our proposed methods.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Long QT syndrome type 8 (LQT8) caused by mutations in CACNA1C has been classified as a very rare and severe type of long QT syndrome accompanied with Timothy syndrome (TS) with extra-cardiac phenotype. Recently, various mutations in CACNA1C have been identified in non-TS patients. However, mutation specific severity in LQT8 has not been elucidated yet, especially for non-TS patients.
Purpose
We aimed to clarify the clinical characteristics of LQT8 patients.
Methods
The study consists of 26 LQT8 patients (21 probands and 5 family members). We evaluated their phenotype.
Results
Table summarizes the clinical characteristics of LQT8 patients. TS patients diagnosed in younger age than those of non-TS. Four TS and one non-TS patients were diagnosed at the age of 0, though the non-TS patient was a son of a patient and asymptomatic. Nine patients suffered symptoms including 7 with cardiac arrest. We identified three TS mutations; classical p.G406R in two and p.G402S in two, and a new TS mutation, p.412M in one. Four of TS patients were symptomatic and two died suddenly at the age of 4 and 5. In contrast, no one died in non-TS patients. Five non-TS patients suffered symptoms in the age of 4,9,15,54 and 64, and the mutations were p.S643F, p.R858H (2 patients), p.K1518E and p.K1591T.
Characteristics of TS and non-TS patient TS Non-TS P N (male) 5 (2) 21 (9) Age (range) 0 (0–7) 12 (0–64) 0.004 Symptom Syncope 4 5 0.034 CPA 3 4 0.101 ECG characteristics QT interval 603±40 507±14 0.011 T wave alternans 5 2 <0.001 AV Block 4 1 0.002 Therapy (4 unknown) Beta-blocker 4 7 0.311 Mexiletine 3 1 0.024 ICD implantation 2 2 0.21
Conclusions
Although TS patients showed severe phenotype, most of the non-TS patients were asymptomatic. The phenotype in LQT8 are diversely different depend on the mutations, especially between patients with TS and non-TS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
One disadvantage of hot balloon ablation (HBA) system is that real time monitoring of pulmonary vein (PV) potential is technically impossible. Therefore, the optimal radiofrequency-generated thermal energy application duration and application number are not completely established.
Purpose
The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of 2Fr 4-electrode unidirectional catheter inserted into PV along with HB for real time monitoring of PV potential and investigate the time to isolation (TTI) guided optimal application strategy for HB based PV isolation in the acute phase.
Methods
We evaluated 23 consecutive patients who performed PV isolation using HBA system. Real time monitoring of PV potential was performed by 2Fr 4-electrode unidirectional catheter inserted into PV along with HB (Figure1A). After HBA applications, PV isolation was validated by high-resolution mapping with the 20-pole steerable mapping (PENTARAY) catheter as a standard. PV potentials during HBA application were categorized into five patterns. PV potentials disappeared during HBA applications and not emerged again (acute isolation), disappeared but verified by PENTARAY catheter (pseudo isolation), once disappeared but emerged again during the same application (acute reconnection), visible but not disappeared (ineffective application) and Invisible (Figure1B).
TTI, difference between TTI and time to reach target temperature (TTRT), balloon temperature at isolation and ablation time after isolation were examined for each applications.
Results
Out of 92 PVs, 69/92 (75.0%) PVs were isolated using HBA and 23/92 (25.0%) PVs required touch up ablation. In total, 120 applications were performed. Real time monitoring of the PV activity was obtained in 114 of 120 applications (95.0%). The distribution of PV potential patterns were 64/120 (53.3%), 2/120 (1.7%), 27/120 (22.5%), 23/120 (19.2%), for acute isolation, pseudo isolation, acute reconnection, ineffective application, respectively.
TTI and difference between TTI and TTRT were significantly shorter in the acute isolation group. Balloon temperature at isolation was significantly lower, TTRT and ablation time after isolation was significantly longer in the acute isolation group. Among them, TTI and difference between TTI and TTRT were highly predictive by receiver operation characteristics curve analysis. TTI <36.5s predicted successful application with sensitivity 83.9% and specificity 79.3%. Difference between TTI and TTRT <6.5s predicted with sensitivity 82.3% and specificity 89.7%.
Figure 1
Conclusions
In HBA system, real time monitoring of PV potentials can be obtained using 2Fr 4-electrode unidirectional catheter and accuracy to confirm an ostial PV isolation is relatively high.
TTI <36.5s and difference between TTI and TTRT <6.5s could be a suitable target for effective application.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hepatokine selenoprotein P (SeP) contributes to insulin resistance and hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. Inhibition of SeP protects the heart from ischemia reperfusion injury and serum levels of SeP are elevated in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Objective
We investigated the role of SeP in the regulation of cardiac remodeling in response to pressure overload.
Methods and results
To examine the role of SeP in cardiac remodeling, transverse aortic constriction (TAC) was subjected to SeP knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice for 2 weeks. Hepatic expression of SeP in WT was significantly increased by TAC. LV weight/tibial length (TL) was significantly smaller in SeP KO mice than in WT mice (6.75±0.24 vs 8.33±0.32, p<0.01). Lung weight/TL was significantly smaller in SeP KO than in WT mice (10.46±0.44 vs 16.38±1.12, p<0.05). TAC-induced cardiac upregulation of the fetal type genes, including atrial and brain natriuretic factors, was significantly attenuated in SeP KO compared to WT. Furthermore, azan staining revealed that there was significantly less interstitial fibrosis in hearts after TAC in SeP KO than in WT mice. To determine whether hepatic overexpression of SeP affects TAC-induced cardiac hypertrophy, a hydrodynamic injection method was used to generate mice that overexpress SeP mRNA in the liver. Hepatic overexpression of SeP in SeP KO mice lead to a significant increase in LV weight/TL and Lung weight/TL after TAC compared to that in other SeP KO mice.
Conclusions
These results suggest that cardiac pressure overload induced hepatic expression of SeP and the absence of endogenous SeP attenuated cardiac hypertrophy, dysfunction and fibrosis in response to pressure overload in mice. SeP possibly plays a maladaptive role against progression of heart failure through the liver-heart axis.

Abstract
The atomic switches have attracted wide attention owing to their applications in nonvolatile electric devices. The atomic switch is operated by the formation and dissipation of a metallic filament inside a metal sulfide film, which is controlled by a solid electrochemical reaction. Although the metallic filament is considered to consist of metal atoms, the chemical species of the metallic filament are difficult to be identified due to challenges in observing the metallic filament inside the solid. In this study, we report the investigation on the metallic filament in the atomic switch with metal sulfide based on point-contact spectroscopy (PCS). By cooling the atomic switch, the switch voltage increased to 1 V, which allowed for the PCS measurement. The PCS revealed that the metallic filament was composed of Ag atoms in the case of the Pt/Ag2S/Ag atomic switch. We applied this technique to the Pt/Cu2S/Ag and Pt/Ag2S/Cu atomic switches to uncover the formation process of the metallic filament. In both atomic switches, the chemical species of the metallic filament were Ag. The metal atoms were supplied from both the metal electrode and the sulfide layer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate how cardiovascular diseases harm labor force participation (LFP) among the Japanese population and verify the validity of plasma biomarkers as instrumental variables of cardiovascular diseases after adjusting for a broad set of confounders including dietary intake. DESIGN Using nationally representative repeated cross-sectional surveys in Japan, the Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions and National Health and Nutrition Survey, with plasma biomarkers as instrumental variables for quasi-randomization. SETTING Onset of cardiovascular diseases in those receiving regular treatment for hypertension, intracerebral hemorrhage, intracerebral infarction, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, or other types of cardiovascular diseases. PARTICIPANTS A total of 65,615 persons aged ≥ 20 years (35,037 women and 30,578 men) who completed a survey conducted every three years from 1995 through 2013. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Respondent employment and weekly working hours during each survey year. RESULTS Cardiovascular diseases significantly and remarkably reduced the probability of working by 15.4% (95% CI: -30.6% to -0.2%). The reduction in working probability was detected for women only. Respondents aged ≥ 40 years were less likely to work once diagnosed and the reduction was enlarged for those aged ≥ 65 years, while those aged < 40 years appeared to be unaffected. Probability of engaging in manual labor significantly decreased once diagnosed; however, no impact was found for cognitive occupations. Among employed respondents, the adverse effects of cardiovascular diseases decreased working hours by five hours per week. Validity of the biomarker instrumental variables was generally verified. CONCLUSIONS A vicious circle is suggested between LFP and unfavorable health. However, the effects vary across age, sex, and occupation type, even after adjusting for causal effects, which could cause a downward bias in LFP impact. ATTRIBUTES cardiovascular disease, labor force participation, instrumental variable method as quasi-randomization, plasma biomarker, Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions, National Health and Nutrition Survey.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Stunting is a significant cause of poor cognitive performance and lower school achievement. Stunting is observed among pre-school children in several areas in Africa; however, not all children are affected, and children with and without stunting are seen in the same communities. Therefore, this study aimed to identify nutritional and other factors that prevent stunting that may exist in local communities. STUDY DESIGN This is a prospective cohort study. METHODS Data were extracted from the Health and Demographic Surveillance System conducted in Kwale County, Kenya. The cohort consisted of all households with children less than five years old, within a radius of 2.2 km from a local health centre. A dietary pattern (DP) survey with a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was conducted on caretakers of children who were voluntary participated from the cohort between June 2012 and August 2012. Using cluster analysis, the children were assigned to a DP group. Logistic regression analysis was applied to calculate the adjusted odds ratios (aORs) of DPs for stunting controlling for other factors. RESULTS In total, 402 children were included in the analysis. By cluster analysis, three DPs were identified: protein-rich DP; traditional DP; and traditional DP complemented by breastfeeding. The aOR of a child becoming stunted from a normal height during the study period among children who received a traditional DP compared with those who had a protein-rich DP was 2.78 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-7.55). However, the aOR for children who were already stunted at the start of the study and had a traditional DP was 1.49 (95% CI: 0.82-2.72). Increased aORs of stunting were observed among children aged over 12 months compared with children aged 6-11 months, and the effects of DPs were modified by age in months from 12 to 35 months; however, the effects were near the null value for children over 36 months of age, although these were not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS We found that the traditional DP showed a higher risk for stunting compared with the protein-rich DP, and the most vulnerable age range for stunting was between 12 and 35 months. Interventions to prevent stunting should focus on providing 12- to 35-month-old children with locally available, protein-rich foods.

Abstract
Lingzhi is a Ganoderma mushroom species which has a wide range of bioactivities. Analysis of the changes in metabolites during the developmental stages of lingzhi is important to understand the underlying mechanism of its biosynthesis, as well as its bioactivity. It may also provide valuable information for the cultivation efficiency of lingzhi. In this study, mass spectrometry based untargeted metabolomics was carried out to analyze the alteration of metabolites during developmental stages of lingzhi. Eight developmental stages were categorized on the basis of morphological changes; starting from mycelium stage to post-mature stage. GC/MS and LC/MS analyses along with multivariate analysis of lingzhi developmental stages were performed. Amino acids, organic acids, sugars, polyols, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and some small polar metabolites were extracted as marker metabolites from GC/MS analysis, while, lanostane-type triterpenoids were observed in LC/MS analysis of lingzhi. The marker metabolites from untargeted analysis of lingzhi developmental stages were correlated with the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Two metabolites, compounds 34 and 35, were identified as potential contributors of the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The current result shows that some metabolites are involved in the developmental process and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of lingzhi.

Abstract
We have studied the formation process of the metal atomic filament for metal sulfide atomic switches by electrical measurement. The switching between ON and OFF states of the atomic switch is controlled by the application of the bias voltage for the atomic switches. The SET (OFF → ON) and RESET (ON → OFF) voltages were investigated for the atomic switch where the Ag2S or Cu2S layer were sandwiched between the Pt and Ag or Cu electrodes. The SET and RESET voltages of the Ag/Cu2S/Pt and Cu/Ag2S/Pt were close to those of the Ag/Ag2S/Pt atomic switch, and different from those of the Cu/Cu2S/Pt atomic switch. These results indicated that the dominant chemical species of the making and breaking part of the metal filament was Ag, and that the source of the metal filament was both the sulfide layer and the metal electrode.

Abstract
In a multicenter, open-label, study, 284 living-donor liver transplant patients were randomized at 30 ± 5 days posttransplant to start everolimus+reduced tacrolimus (EVR+rTAC) or continue standard tacrolimus (TAC Control). EVR+rTAC was non-inferior to TAC Control for the primary efficacy endpoint of treated BPAR, graft loss or death at 12 months posttransplant: difference -0.7% (90% CI -5.2%, 3.7%); P < .001 for non-inferiority. Treated BPAR occurred in 2.2% and 3.6% of patients, respectively. The key secondary endpoint, change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from randomization to month 12, achieved non-inferiority (P < .001 for non-inferiority), but not superiority and was similar between groups overall (mean -8.0 vs. -12.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 , P = .108), and in patients continuing randomized treatment (-8.0 vs. -13.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 , P = .046). In the EVR+rTAC and TAC control groups, study drug was discontinued in 15.5% and 17.6% of patients, adverse events with suspected relation to study drug occurred in 57.0% and 40.4%, and proteinuria ≥1 g/24 h in 9.3% and 0%, respectively. Everolimus did not negatively affect liver regeneration. At 12 months, hepatocellular recurrence was only seen in the standard TAC-treated patients (5/62; 8.1%). In conclusion, early introduction of EVR+rTAC was non-inferior to standard tacrolimus in terms of efficacy and renal function at 12 months, with hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence only in TAC Control patients.

Abstract
Mast cells play a central role in inflammatory and allergic reactions by releasing inflammatory mediators through 2 main pathways, immunoglobulin E-dependent and E-independent activation. In the latter pathway, mast cells are activated by a diverse range of basic molecules (collectively known as basic secretagogues) through Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors (MRGPRs). In addition to the known basic secretagogues, here, we discovered several endogenous protein and enzyme fragments (such as chaperonin-10 fragment) that act as bioactive peptides and induce immunoglobulin E-independent mast cell activation via MRGPRX2 (previously known as MrgX2), leading to the degranulation of mast cells. We discuss the possibility that MRGPRX2 responds various as-yet-unidentified endogenous ligands that have specific characteristics, and propose that MRGPRX2 plays an important role in regulating inflammatory responses to endogenous harmful stimuli, such as protein breakdown products released from damaged or dying cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of perampanel, a selective, non-competitive, α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor antagonist, as an adjunctive treatment for patients with refractory partial-onset seizures (POS) from Asia-Pacific. MATERIALS & METHODS This multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01618695) involved patients aged ≥12 years with refractory POS (receiving 1-3 antiepileptic drugs). Patients were randomized (1:1:1:1) to receive once-daily placebo or perampanel 4, 8, or 12 mg over a 6-week titration and 13-week maintenance double-blind period. Enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs were equally stratified between groups. The primary efficacy endpoint was percent change in POS frequency per 28 days (double-blind phase vs baseline). Other efficacy endpoints included ≥50% responder rate and seizure freedom. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were also monitored. RESULTS Of 710 randomized patients, seizure frequency data were available for 704 patients. Median percent changes in POS frequency per 28 days indicated dose-proportional reductions in seizure frequency: -10.8% with placebo and -17.3% (P = .2330), -29.0% (P = .0003), and -38.0% (P < .0001) with perampanel 4, 8, and 12 mg, respectively. In total, 108 (15.3%) patients discontinued treatment; 44 (6.2%) due to TEAEs. TEAEs occurring in ≥5% of patients, and reported at least twice as frequently with perampanel vs placebo, included dizziness and irritability. CONCLUSIONS Adjunctive perampanel (8 and 12 mg/d) significantly improved seizure control in patients with refractory POS. Safety and tolerability were acceptable at daily doses of perampanel 4-12 mg.

Abstract
AIMS The human epidermal growth factor receptor family consists of four members that belong to the ErbB lineage of proteins (ErbB1-4). Neuregulin-1 (NRG1)/ErbB signalling regulates brain development and function. Abnormalities in this signalling have been implicated in the aetiology or development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. So, we aimed at investigating whether the expression of NRG1 or ErbB proteins are altered in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). METHODS The brains of 10 PSP and six control patients were investigated by immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS Whereas C-terminal ErbB4 immunoreacitivity was partially but distinctly present in the cytoplasm and/or in the nucleus of neurons in control patients, it was rarely observed in the neuronal nuclei in PSP patients. In contrast, neurofibrillary tangles, coiled bodies and threads were robustly immunoreactive for C-terminal ErbB4 in PSP. Double immunofluorescence for C-terminal ErbB4 and phospho-tau revealed co-localization of these proteins within neuronal and glial inclusions. To the contrary, there was no difference in the subcellular localization of NRG1, ErbB1, ErbB2, and N-terminal ErbB4 between control and PSP patients. These proteins were localized in the cytoplasm of neurons. CONCLUSIONS Our present results suggest that NRG1/ErbB4 signalling could be an important event in the pathogenesis of PSP.
