Abstract
PURPOSE Stoma site marking is an important preoperative intervention for preventing various stoma-associated complications. In our institution, standardized stoma site marking is routinely performed before rectal cancer surgery with stoma creation, and various stoma-associated factors are recorded in the ostomy-record template. The present study investigated risk factors for stoma leakage. METHODS Our stoma site marking is standardized so that it can be performed by non-stoma specialists. To identify risk factors of stoma leakage at 3 months after surgery, various preoperative factors associated with stoma site marking in our ostomy-record template were retrospectively analyzed in 519 patients who underwent rectal cancer surgery with stoma creation from 2015 to 2020. RESULTS Stoma leakage was seen in 35 of the 519 patients (6.7%). The distance between the stoma site marking and the umbilicus was less than 60 mm in 27 of the 35 patients (77%) who experienced stoma leakage, so a distance of less than 60 mm was identified as an independent risk factor for stoma leakage. Aside from preoperative factors, stoma leakage was also caused by postoperative skin wrinkles or surgical scars near the stoma site in 8 of 35 patients (23%). CONCLUSION Preoperative standardized stoma site marking is necessary to achieve reliable marking that is easy to perform. To reduce the risk of stoma leakage, a distance of 60 mm or more between the stoma site marking and the umbilicus is ideal, and surgeons need to contrive ways to keep surgical scars away from the stoma site.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The emergence of novel genomic-type clones, such as community-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and livestock-associated MRSA, and their invasion into hospitals have become major concerns worldwide; however, little information is available regarding the prevalence of MRSA in Japan. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has been conducted to analyse various pathogens worldwide. Therefore, it is important to establish a genome database of clinical MRSA isolates available in Japan. AIM A molecular epidemiological analysis of MRSA strains isolated from bloodstream-infected patients in a Japanese university hospital was conducted using WGS and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis. Additionally, through a review of patients' clinical characteristics, the effectiveness of SNP analysis as a tool for detecting silent nosocomial transmission that may be missed by other methods was evaluated in diverse settings and various time points of detection. METHODS Polymerase-chain-reaction-based staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing was performed using 135 isolates obtained between 2014 and 2018, and WGS was performed using 88 isolates obtained between 2015 and 2017. FINDINGS SCCmec type II strains, prevalent in 2014, became rare in 2018, whereas the prevalence of SCCmec type IV strains increased from 18.75% to 83.87% of the population, and became the dominant clones. Clonal complex (CC) 5 CC8 and CC1 were detected between 2015 and 2017, with CC1 being dominant. In 88 cases, SNP analyses revealed nosocomial transmissions among 20 patients which involved highly homologous strains. CONCLUSIONS Routine monitoring of MRSA by whole-genome analysis is effective not only for gaining knowledge regarding molecular epidemiology, but also for detecting silent nosocomial transmission.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is caused by dysbiosis of the dental biofilm and the host inflammatory response. Various pathogenic factors, such as proteases and lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) produced by bacteria, are involved in disease progression. Endotoxin tolerance is a function of myeloid cells, which sustain inflammation and promote tissue regeneration upon prolonged stimulation by endotoxins such as LPS. The role of endotoxin tolerance is gaining attention in various chronic inflammatory diseases, but its role in periodontal disease remains elusive. Oxidative stress, one of the major risk factors for periodontal disease, promotes disease progression through various mechanisms, of which only some are known. The effect of oxidative stress on endotoxin tolerance has not yet been studied, and we postulated that endotoxin tolerance regulation may be an additional mechanism through which oxidative stress influences periodontal disease. This study aimed to reveal the effect of oxidative stress on endotoxin tolerance and that of endotoxin tolerance on periodontitis progression. The effect of oxidative stress on endotoxin tolerance was analyzed in vitro using peritoneal macrophages of mice and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The results showed that oxidative stress inhibits endotoxin tolerance induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS in macrophages, at least partially, by downregulating LPS-elicited negative regulators of Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. A novel oxidative stress mouse model was established using SMP30KO mice incapable of ascorbate biosynthesis. Using this model, we revealed that oxidative stress impairs endotoxin tolerance potential in macrophages in vivo. Furthermore, gingival expression of endotoxin tolerance-related genes and TLR signaling negative regulators was decreased, and symptoms of ligature-induced periodontitis were aggravated in the oxidative stress mouse model. Our findings suggest that oxidative stress may contribute to periodontitis progression through endotoxin tolerance inhibition.

Abstract
We developed a steady-state high-density plasma source by applying a hollow cathode to a cascade arc discharge device. The hollow cathode is made of a thermionic material (LaB6) to facilitate plasma production inside it. The cascade arc discharge device with the hollow cathode produced a stationary plasma with an electron density of about 1016 cm-3. It was found that the plasma source produces a strong pressure gradient between the gas feed and the vacuum chamber. The plasma source separated the atmospheric pressure (100 kPa) and a vacuum (100 Pa) when the discharge was performed with an argon gas flow rate of 5.0 l/min and a discharge current of 40 A. An analysis of the pressure gradient along the plasma source showed that the pressure difference between the gas feed and the vacuum chamber can be well described by the Hagen-Poiseuille flow equation, indicating that the viscosity of the neutral gas is the dominant factor for producing this pressure gradient. A potential profile analysis suggested that the plasma was mainly heated within cylindrical channels whose inner diameter was 3 mm. This feature and the results of the pressure ratio analysis indicated that the temperature, and, thus, viscosity, of the neutral gas increased with the increasing number of intermediate electrodes. The discharge characteristics and shape of the hollow cathode are suitable for plasma window applications.

Abstract
The Rare-RI Ring (R3) is a recently commissioned cyclotronlike storage ring mass spectrometer dedicated to mass measurements of exotic nuclei far from stability at Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) in RIKEN. The first application of mass measurement using the R3 mass spectrometer at RIBF is reported. Rare isotopes produced at RIBF-^{127}Sn, ^{126}In, ^{125}Cd, ^{124}Ag, ^{123}Pd-were injected in R3. Masses of ^{126}In, ^{125}Cd, and ^{123}Pd were measured whereby the mass uncertainty of ^{123}Pd was improved. This is the first reported measurement with a new storage ring mass spectrometry technique realized at a heavy-ion cyclotron and employing individual injection of the preidentified rare nuclei. The latter is essential for the future mass measurements of the rarest isotopes produced at RIBF. The impact of the new ^{123}Pd result on the solar r-process abundances in a neutron star merger event is investigated by performing reaction network calculations of 20 trajectories with varying electron fraction Y_{e}. It is found that the neutron capture cross section on ^{123}Pd increases by a factor of 2.2 and β-delayed neutron emission probability, P_{1 n}, of ^{123}Rh increases by 14%. The neutron capture cross section on ^{122}Pd decreases by a factor of 2.6 leading to pileup of material at A=122, thus reproducing the trend of the solar r-process abundances. The trend of the two-neutron separation energies (S_{2n}) was investigated for the Pd isotopic chain. The new mass measurement with improved uncertainty excludes large changes of the S_{2n} value at N=77. Such large increase of the S_{2n} values before N=82 was proposed as an alternative to the quenching of the N=82 shell gap to reproduce r-process abundances in the mass region of A=112-124.

Abstract
The WHO informal consultation was held to promote the revision of WHO guidelines on evaluation of similar biotherapeutic products (SBPs) adopted by the Expert Committee on Biological Standardization (ECBS) in 2009. It was agreed in the past consultations that the evaluation principles in the guidelines are still valid, but a review was recommended to provide more clarity and case-by-case flexibility. The opportunity was therefore taken to review the experience and identify areas where the current guidance could be more permissive without compromising its basic principles, and where additional explanation could be provided regarding the possibility of reducing the amount of data needed for regulatory approval. The meeting participants applauded the leading role taken by the WHO in providing a much-needed streamlined approach for development and evaluation of SBPs which will provide efficient and cost-effective product development and increase patient access to treatments. It was recognized that the principles as currently described in the draft WHO guidelines are based on sound science and experience gained over the last fifteen years of biosimilar approvals. However, since these guidelines when finalised will constitute the global standard for biosimilar evaluation and assist national regulatory authorities in establishing revised guidance and regulatory practice in this complex area, it was felt that further revision and clarity on certain perspectives in specific areas was necessary to dispel uncertainties arising in the current revised version. This report describes the principles in the draft guidelines, including topics discussed and consensus reached. WHO guidelines serve as a basis for the development of national regulatory framework for biosimilars. Revision of guidelines is to provide more flexibility and clarification on data required for regulatory approval. Revised guidelines would contribute to improving consistency on regulatory decision and patient access to treatments.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Pre-existing inflammation, corticosteroid therapy, periapical periodontitis, longer duration of denosumab therapy, and female sex were significantly associated with an increased risk of denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw after tooth extraction in patients with cancer on oncologic doses of denosumab. A short drug holiday did not protect against this complication. INTRODUCTION This study retrospectively investigated the relationship between various risk factors, including brief discontinuation of denosumab, and development of denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (DRONJ) after tooth extraction in patients with cancer who were receiving oncologic doses of this agent. METHODS Data were collected on demographic characteristics, duration of denosumab therapy, whether or not denosumab was discontinued before tooth extraction (drug holiday), duration of discontinuation, presence of pre-existing inflammation, and whether or not additional surgical procedures were performed. Risk factors for DRONJ after tooth extraction were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 136 dental extractions were performed in 72 patients (31 men, 41 women) with cancer who were receiving oncologic doses of denosumab. Post-extraction DRONJ was diagnosed in 39 teeth (28.7%) in 25 patients. Tooth extraction was significantly associated with development of DRONJ only in patients with pre-existing inflammation (odds ratio [OR] 243.77), those on corticosteroid therapy (OR 73.50), those with periapical periodontitis (OR 14.13), those who had been taking oncologic doses of denosumab for a longer period (OR 4.69), and in women (OR 1.04). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of DRONJ between patients who had a drug holiday before tooth extraction and those who did not. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that inflamed teeth should be extracted immediately in patients with cancer who are receiving oncologic doses of denosumab. Drug holidays have no significant impact on the risk of DRONJ.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The population-based incidence and outcomes of acute aortic dissection (AAD) are still unknown because some patients are already dead on arrival at the hospital, and the accurate diagnosis of AAD is difficult due to the low autopsy rate for patients with cardiopulmonary arrest outside of the hospital. We performed a population-based review of all patients with AAD in a well-defined geographical area in the southern part of Japan between 2016 and 2018.
Methods
Data of all patients with AAD at our Hospital, which performs medical care for 120,000 residents, were collected retrospectively. The emergency medical service is dedicated to the transfer of all patients in this area to the MPNH. For all patients who were dead on arrival, the diagnosis of AAD was made by autopsy imaging (AI) using computed tomography. The age-adjusted incidence and mortality per 100,000 population were calculated using the Japanese population distribution model in 2015.
Results
The total incidence of AAD was 79 (type A: 64.5%, n=51). Of those, 60.8% (31/51) of patients with type A and 21.4% (6/28) with type B were dead on arrival and diagnosed by AI. The 30-day mortality rates after the onset of AAD were 74.5% (38/51) in type A and 25.0% (7/28) in type B. Excluding the dead-on-arrival patients, the 30-day mortality rates were 35.0% (7/20) in type A and 4.5% (1/22) in type B. The age-adjusted incidence and mortality of AAD per 100,000 inhabitants were 17.3 (type A: 11.3, type B: 6.0) and 9.6 (type A: 8.4, type B: 1.2), respectively. Both values were significantly higher in men than in women.
Conclusions
The population-based survey of emergency medical care for AAD showed that the age-adjusted incidence of AAD was two-fold higher than in previous reports, and the actual mortality rates after AAD onset were markedly higher due to the high incidence of dead-on-arrival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although sink- and drain-related carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales transmission has been reported previously, there is limited research regarding the transmission of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales. AIM To investigate nosocomial ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae transmission via patient sinks and drains on a general surgical hospital ward. METHODS ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae transmission on a surgical ward at Tokyo Medical University Hospital (built in July 2019) from July 2019 to February 2020 was investigated. Information regarding the relatedness of the isolates from the patients and the environment was provided by whole-genome sequence analysis. FINDINGS Four clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae (TUM19831, TUM19832, TUM19833 and TUM19834) were detected during the study. TUM19831 was identified prior to moving to the new building and was detected again in the new building. TUM19832 and TUM19833 were detected in July 2019, and TUM19834 was detected in December 2019. TUM19835 and TUM19836 were detected in two different sinks and drains in July 2019, while a further two sinks and drains tested positive for TUM19837 and TUM19838 in February 2020. Whole-genome analysis revealed that all strains were ST307 and CTXM15 sequence types, and the isolates were indistinguishable by genetic analysis. Due to inadequate removal of the slime biofilm coating, the sinks needed to be cleaned again before TUM19837 and TUM19838 could be detected. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the transmission of indistinguishable ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae strains from sinks and drains in the patient area of a general surgical hospital ward. There is a need to recognize this risk and develop optimal management strategies for plumbing systems in hospitals and other healthcare settings.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
How can we find an ovarian stimulation method that does not cause hyper stimulation syndrome but can produce a high pregnancy rate at one cycle?
Summary answer
This newly developed method for PCOS has a higher accumulative clinical outcome for one trial and no OHSS.
What is known already
Almost all conventional treatments for PCOS have managed to avoid OHSS by reducing the number of growing follicles, which are associated with high Estradiol levels and stimulate the production of vessel endothelial growth hormone (VEGF), leading to increased vessel permeability. Low dose FSH administration, In vitro maturation (IVM), Ovarian Drilling and Coasting have been performed to achieve this. However, their actual clinical outcome is still unsatisfactory.
Study design, size, duration
Evaluation of the efficiency of this method was conducted retrospectively at St. Mother Clinic. The embryonic development and the clinical outcome were studied for 34 PCOS patients during the period between November 2018 and December 2019.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
We started injections of FSH (150iu/ml), then we did ultrasound follicle monitoring. GnRH antagonist shots were started when the leading follicle reached 18mm and continued until the largest follicle was 22–24mm and the E2 value was over 4000pg/ml. Letrozole (2.5mg) and leuprorelin acetate (1.88mg) was injected as trigger. Two tablets each of Letrozole, Cabergoline and GnRH antagonist were given for 5 consecutive days after the oocyte retrieval. All embryos were cryopreserved.
Main results and the role of chance
Number of patients and cycles were 34 and 59. Average number of cryopreserved blastocysts was 6.12 (1–16). The frequencies of OHSS (mild, moderate, severe) were 29.4% (10/34), 0% (0/34), 0% (0/34). Average days between oocyte collection and withdrawal hemorrhage was 5.44(5–7). Cryopreservation rate was 100.0% (34/34). Clinical pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate was 42.3% (25/59) and 16.0% (4/25). The cumulative pregnancy rate was 73.7% (25/34). The four remaining unsuccessful cases still have 10,6,3 and 7 frozen embryos. So, there is a high possibility that they become successful, that would bring the cumulative pregnancy rate up to 82.3% (28/34).
Limitations, reasons for caution
This COS for PCOS seems promising, however it is premature to conclude that this method is established. This method requires caution monitoring for hormone level, follicle size and number and coagulant function. It also accompanied with the risk of ovarian hemorrhage on aspiration of a great number of oocytes.
Wider implications of the findings: This COS seems viable for PCOS cases. It could control the cohort of antral follicles with different doses of Letrozole to find the optimal COH method and it could become the first option for COS of PCOS.

Abstract
Study question
What technique can be used to successfully cryopreserve five or fewer testicular spermatozoa from non-obstructive azoospermic men?
Summary answer
This method for cryopreserving five or fewer spermatozoa from non-obstructive azoospermic men showed a recovery rate above 90% and a survival rate of about 70%.
What is known already
Clinical outcomes of ICSI when using only five or fewer testicular spermatozoa after cryopreservation have been unsuccessful and are considered to be inferior to those using testicular fresh spermatozoa from Micro-TESE. A possible cause of these poor results has been the lack of a successful freezing technique. In these cases, repeated Micro-TESE and simultaneous oocyte pick up has been the only available treatment.
Study design, size, duration
Evaluation of the efficiency of cryopreservation by modified permeable cryoprotectant-free vitrification method (HTF supplemented with 0.1M sucrose and 10% SPS) for five or fewer testicular spermatozoa from 113 non-obstructive azoospermic men using Micro-TESE was conducted retrospectively at St. Mother Clinic between 2011 and 2018.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
This study included 113 non-obstructive azoospermic men. Each motile spermatozoon was carefully aspirated tail first into the pipette, put into a 2-μl microdroplet media of the vitrification medium near the tip of the Cryotop (Kitazato Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) submerged in liquid nitrogen vapor for 2 min and then immediately plunged in liquid nitrogen. The vitrified spermatozoa were warmed by dipping them into a droplet media. Successfully recovered motile sperm were selected and used for ICSI.
Main results and the role of chance
Number of patients, transfer cycles and collected sperms were 113, 192 and 560. Mean age of patients and their wives were 32.0±3.7y and 28.4±5.8y. Clinical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, live birth rate and number of live offspring were 24.0% (46/192), 19.6% (9/46), 19.3% (37/192) and 37 (Male: Female = 17: 20). Sperm recovery rate and survival rate were 90.3% (506/560) and 70.4% (356/506). Fertilization rate and mean number of transferred embryos were 51.6% (99/192) and 1.73 (1–2). Mean gestational weeks and mean body weight at birth were 39.23±5.27w and 2852.31±314.28g. No congenital anomalies were observed in any of the babies.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The maximum number of spermatozoa to which this method can be applied successfully is about 10. When the number of aspirated spermatozoa is over 10, some of them change direction and reach the mineral oil, and once this happens, they cannot be expelled out of the pipette.
Wider implications of the findings: This technique is very useful for the cryopreservation of very small numbers of testicular spermatozoa (fewer than 10) in order to avoid or reduce Micro-TESE interventions.

Abstract
Neutron diffraction measurements of H/D isotopic substitution are made at room temperature for seven H/D substituted hexafluoro-iso-propanol (HFIP; 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol)-water mixtures at 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 HFIP mole fraction (xHFIP). The eight partial structure factors except for the H(CH)-H(CH) pair obtained are subjected to an empirical potential structure refinement (EPSR) method to derive all site-site pair correlation functions. It is found that with increasing HFIP concentration the ice-like network of water disappears between xHFIP = 0.1 and 0.2, followed by the formation of a chain-like water structure embedded in an intrinsic structure of HFIP evolved at xHFIP = 0.4. The hydroxyl group of HFIP forms hydrogen bonds with the surrounding water molecules at all HFIP mole fractions investigated. There is no evidence that the water structure is well defined around the CF3 groups of HFIP, but water molecules surround tangentially the CF3 groups of HFIP.

Abstract
Injection of lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells is known as useful for activation of cellular immune system. Although the effect of LAK cells has been clarified in human or mice, this effect on function of immune cells has not been examined in calves. Healthy ten Holstein calves were injected with the LAK cells 2 days after birth (LAK Group), and another eight calves were observed as controls (Control Group). All calves received the colostrum formulation on the day of birth, and then, were inoculated with a live attenuated vaccine of bovine herpesvirus (BHV)-1 at 2 (the first vaccination) and 6 (the second vaccination) weeks after birth. Peripheral blood of their dam obtained 3 weeks before calving was used for preparation of LAK cells. Blood samples were taken prior to vaccine inoculation and 3 days after the first inoculation, as well as 3 and 6 days after the second vaccination from all calves. Numbers of CD8+ and CD21+ cells increased significantly after the second vaccination in the LAK Group compared with Control Group. The present study suggested the improved effect of injecting LAK cells originated from dams on immune cells function of young calves after BHV-1 live vaccine.

Abstract
This study evaluated the association between skeletal muscle mass depletion and severe oral mucositis in patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy after oral cancer resection. Skeletal muscle mass was evaluated in 60 patients using the skeletal muscle index, which was based on skeletal muscle cross-sectional area (on computed tomography) at the level of the third lumbar vertebra. In accordance with the grading criteria of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group, patients with a grade ≥3 were defined as having severe oral mucositis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate independent risk factors for severe oral mucositis. Eleven patients (18.3%) were diagnosed with low skeletal muscle mass. Severe oral mucositis occurred in 17 (28.3%) patients, and the mean skeletal muscle index was 42.8 cm2/m2. A low skeletal muscle mass (hazard ratio 18.1; P=0.001) and a chemotherapy regimen consisting of 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin (versus cisplatin only) (hazard ratio 5.5; P=0.015) were independent risk factors for severe oral mucositis. Future prospective studies are warranted to identify effective pre- and perioperative exercises and nutrition programmes to increase low skeletal muscle mass and reduce the incidence of severe oral mucositis in patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy after oral cancer resection.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to clarify the impact of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) on clinical outcomes in Japanese patients of advanced age with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA).
Methods
This was a national registry based retrospective comparative study, using data from the Japanese Registry Of All cardiac and vascular Diseases-Diagnostic Procedure Combination (JROAD-DPC), a nationwide claim based database from more than 600 hospitals. Patients admitted with rAAA between April 1, 2012, and March 31, 2015 were included in the study. Patient characteristics, management, and outcomes were compared between the elderly (aged ≥80 y) and the less old. The primary endpoint was in hospital mortality; the secondary endpoint was the functional status at discharge.
Results
Of 3 969 eligible patients, 49.9% were categorised as elderly. Elderly patients had a higher prevalence of female gender (41.8% vs. 17.0%, p<0.001) and disturbance of consciousness on admission (28.6% vs. 20.7%, p<0.001). They were less likely to undergo open surgical repair (31.6% vs. 56.7%, p<0.001), although EVAR was performed similarly in both groups (13.7% vs. 14.8%, p<0.33). The unadjusted mortality rate (61.8% vs. 37.6%, p<0.001) and mean Barthel index at discharge (73.0 vs. 91.8, p<0.001) were statistically significantly worse in the elderly. Multilevel mixed effect logistic regression analyses showed that old age was detected as an independent predictor of in hospital death (odds ratio 2.75; 95% confidence interval, 2.39–3.17; p<0.001). However, for patients who received EVAR, old age was not statistically significant (odds ratio 1.13; 95% confidence interval, 0.77–1.66; p<0.53).
Conclusion
Elderly patients with rAAA were less likely to be offered open surgical repair, and the mortality among those who received surgery was high. However, for the small subgroup of elderly patients currently selected for EVAR there was a favourable outcome. The further implementation of EVAR for rAAA in Japan, especially for elderly patients with suitable anatomy, may be justified.

Abstract
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft investigated the small asteroid Ryugu, which has a rubble-pile structure. We describe an impact experiment on Ryugu using Hayabusa2's Small Carry-on Impactor. The impact produced an artificial crater with a diameter >10 meters, which has a semicircular shape, an elevated rim, and a central pit. Images of the impact and resulting ejecta were recorded by the Deployable CAMera 3 for >8 minutes, showing the growth of an ejecta curtain (the outer edge of the ejecta) and deposition of ejecta onto the surface. The ejecta curtain was asymmetric and heterogeneous and it never fully detached from the surface. The crater formed in the gravity-dominated regime; in other words, crater growth was limited by gravity not surface strength. We discuss implications for Ryugu's surface age.

Abstract
Interaction cross sections for ^{42-51}Ca on a carbon target at 280 MeV/nucleon have been measured for the first time. The neutron number dependence of derived root-mean-square matter radii shows a significant increase beyond the neutron magic number N=28. Furthermore, this enhancement of matter radii is much larger than that of the previously measured charge radii, indicating a novel growth in neutron skin thickness. A simple examination based on the Fermi-type distribution, and mean field calculations point out that this anomalous enhancement of the nuclear size beyond N=28 results from an enlargement of the core by a sudden increase in the surface diffuseness of the neutron density distribution, which implies the swelling of the bare ^{48}Ca core in Ca isotopes beyond N=28.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG) 0212 (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00190541) was a non-inferiority phase III trial of patients with clinical stage II-III rectal cancer without lateral pelvic lymph node enlargement. The trial compared mesorectal excision (ME) with ME and lateral lymph node dissection (LLND), with a primary endpoint of recurrence-free survival (RFS). The planned primary analysis at 5 years failed to confirm the non-inferiority of ME alone compared with ME and LLND. The present study aimed to compare ME alone and ME with LLND using long-term follow-up data from JCOG0212. METHODS Patients with clinical stage II-III rectal cancer below the peritoneal reflection and no lateral pelvic lymph node enlargement were included in this study. After surgeons confirmed R0 resection by ME, patients were randomized to receive ME alone or ME with LLND. The primary endpoint was RFS. RESULTS A total of 701 patients from 33 institutions were assigned to ME with LLND (351) or ME alone (350) between June 2003 and August 2010. The 7-year RFS rate was 71.1 per cent for ME with LLND and 70·7 per cent for ME alone (hazard ratio (HR) 1·09, 95 per cent c.i. 0·84 to 1·42; non-inferiority P = 0·064). Subgroup analysis showed improved RFS among patients with clinical stage III disease who underwent ME with LLND compared with ME alone (HR 1·49, 1·02 to 2·17). CONCLUSION Long-term follow-up data did not support the non-inferiority of ME alone compared with ME and LLND. ME with LLND is recommended for patients with clinical stage III disease, whereas LLND could be omitted in those with clinical stage II tumours.

Abstract
Although many variants of the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTH1R) gene are known to be associated with primary failure of eruption (PFE), the mechanisms underlying the link remains poorly understood. We here performed functional analyses of PTH1R variants reported in PFE patients-namely, 356C>T (P119L), 395C>T (P132L), 439C>T (R147C), and 1148G>A (R383Q)-using HeLa cells with a lentiviral vector-mediated genetic modification. Two particular variants, P119L and P132L, had severe reduction in a level of N-linked glycosylation when compared with wild-type PTH1R, whereas the other 2 showed modest alteration. PTH1R having P119L or P132L showed marked decrease in the affinity to PTH1-34, which likely led to severely impaired cAMP accumulation upon stimulation in cells expressing these mutants, highlighting the importance of these 2 amino acid residues for ligand-mediated proper functioning of PTH1R. To further gain insights into PTH1R functions, we established the induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from a patient with PFE and the heterozygous P132L mutation. When differentiated into osteoblastic-lineage cells, PFE-iPSCs showed no abnormality in mineralization. The mRNA expression of RUNX2, SP7, and BGLAP, the osteoblastic differentiation-related genes, and that of PTH1R were augmented in both PFE-iPSC-derived cells and control iPSC-derived cells in the presence of bone morphogenetic protein 2. Also, active vitamin D3 induced the expression of RANKL, a major key factor for osteoclastogenesis, equally in osteoblastic cells derived from control and PFE-iPSCs. In sharp contrast, exposure to PTH1-34 resulted in no induction of RANKL mRNA expression in the cells expressing P132L variant PTH1R, consistent with the idea that a type of heterozygous PTH1R gene mutation would spoil PTH-dependent response in osteoblasts. Collectively, this study demonstrates a link between PFE-associated genetic alteration and causative functional impairment of PTH1R, as well as a utility of iPSC-based disease modeling for future elucidation of pathogenesis in genetic disorders, including PFE.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to assess the cortical-level sensory differences between natural teeth with a periodontal membrane and dental implants.
Material and Methods We used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure brain activity in the cerebral cortex of 12 patients who had both natural teeth and dental implants in the lower molar region. Painless vibratory tactile stimulation was performed on both the natural teeth and the dental implants.
Results Activation was seen in the somatosensory cortex during stimulation of both natural teeth and dental implants. A comparison of cortical activation showed no significant differences between natural teeth and dental implants.
Conclusions These results indicate the possible existence of sensory input to the cerebral cortex via dental implants as well as natural teeth, and thus suggest that may not only the periodontal membrane be involved in the signaling pathway. The data from this experiment may help us for understanding the neural mechanisms underlying natural teeth and dental implants. Key words:fNIRS, natural teeth, implants, brain activity, somatosensory cortex.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate olfactory function in elderly subjects requiring nursing care to clarify its association with appetite and nutritional status. SETTING Facility for the elderly requiring nursing care. PARTICIPANTS The subjects were 158 elderly people requiring nursing care and 37 elderly people not requiring nursing care. MEASUREMENTS Experiment I: Olfactory function and factors (cognitive function, appetite, and nutritional status) that may be associated with it were compared between the elderly subjects requiring nursing care and those not requiring nursing care using covariance analysis in consideration of age. For evaluation, the OSIT-J was used for olfactory function, the HDS-R for cognitive function, the CNAQ for appetite, and BMI for nutritional status. Experiment II: The subjects were the same elderly subjects requiring nursing care in Experiment I, and food intake was surveyed in addition to the OSIT-J, HDS-R, CNAQ, and BMI. A univariate linear regression analysis was performed with OSIT-J as the response variable, and age, HDS-R, CNAQ, BMI, and food intake as the explanatory variables. RESULTS Experiment I: On covariance analysis, the OSIT-J score was significantly lower for the elderly subjects requiring nursing care than for those not requiring nursing care (p<0.01). The mean score was 8 or lower in both groups, demonstrating lower olfactory function in both groups. Regarding factors that may be associated with olfactory function, a significant difference was noted in the HDS-R (p<0.01), confirming significantly lower cognitive function in the elderly subjects requiring nursing care. No significant difference was noted in the CNAQ or BMI. Experiment II: On a univariate linear regression analysis, an association with the OSIT-J was noted for age and HDS-R. Age was inversely correlated and the HDS-R was positively correlated. Factors associated with lower olfactory function in the elderly subjects requiring nursing were age and cognitive function, whereas appetite, nutritional status, and food intake were not associated. CONCLUSION Olfactory function in elderly subjects requiring nursing care was poorer than that in those not requiring nursing care, suggesting that aging and cognitive decline are associated with lower olfactory function. In addition, no association of lower olfactory function with appetite, nutritional status, or food intake was noted in the elderly subjects requiring nursing care.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, there are some reports that hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is incidentally detected by multi-slice computed tomography. It is believed that valve thrombosis causes HALT, because oral anticoagulation therapy (OAC) is effective for HALT regression. Furthermore, it is reported that d-dimer level increases in patients with HALT, and might be a key biomarker to detect HALT.
Purpose
We sought to investigate the predictors related to increased d-dimer level at 6 months after follow-up TAVI.
Methods
We enrolled 124 consecutive patients who underwent successful TAVI between 2016 and 2018. Study patients were classified into two groups according to antithrombotic therapy resume (OAC therapy or anti-platelet therapy).We set the primary endpoint as the d-dimer levels at 6 months after TAVI. To evaluate the risks of the primary endpoint, we employed a multivariable linear regression model, setting the primary endpoint as an objective variable and patient and clinical backgrounds as explanatory variables. Furthermore, we set the secondary endpoint as one-year bleeding event.
Results
The median age of patients was 83 years old (quartile 80-87). Patients who had taken OAC at 6 months follow-up after TAVI were 29.8%. The median d-dimer level at 6 months after TAVI was 1.3 (1.0-2.2) µg/ml, and OAC group had statistically lower d-dimer level at 6 months follow-up than those in non-OAC group (p = 0.020). Uni-variable liner regression model demonstrated that increased d-dimer level at follow-up had significant relationship with large effective orifice area (EOA) (p = 0.002) and low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (p = 0.048) after TAVI. Furthermore, large EOA (p = 0.003) and OAC therapy (p = 0.027) were independently associated with increased d-dimer level in multivariate analysis. Kaplan-Meier estimates revealed that there were no significant difference regarding one-year bleeding event between OAC group and non-OAC group (long-rank p = 0.167).
Conclusions
This study suggests that large EOA after TAVI is associated with increased d-dimer levels at 6 months after TAVI, and OAC therapy might have a potential to decrease d-dimer level after TAVI without increase of bleeding events.

Estimating transboundary transported anthropogenic sulfate deposition in Japan using the sulfur isotopic ratio. Sci Total Environ 2019; 691:779-788.

Abstract
High emissions of air pollutants from Northeast Asia are strongly influenced by air quality as well as by ecosystems. This study investigated the spatiotemporal variations in the sulfur isotopic ratio (δ34S) in atmospheric deposition at eleven monitoring stations in Japan from 2011 to 2016 and estimated the amount of transboundary transported anthropogenic sulfate (TRB) deposition using mass balance calculations. The δ34S of sulfate in precipitation ranged from -0.42 to +22.7‰. Sea salt (SS), TRB, and domestic anthropogenic sources (DOM) were the dominant sources of sulfate deposition in Japan. TRB sulfate deposition was largest on the Sea of Japan side, with an annual average value of 1.5 ± 0.3-6.9 ± 0.5 mg m-2 d-1 (36-44%), followed by Mt. Happo (4.5 ± 0.1 mg m-2 d-1; 88%), the Pacific Ocean side (1.5 ± 0.8, 4.3 ± 0.9 mg m-2 d-1; 24-50%), and the remote islands in the North Pacific Ocean (1.1 ± 0.2, 2.0 ± 0.8 mg m-2 d-1; 19-32%). TRB sulfate deposition on the Sea of Japan side was 2-12 times higher in winter and 1-2 times higher in summer than that of DOM. In contrast, TRB sulfate deposition on the Pacific Ocean side was 1.5-3 times higher in summer than in winter due to high precipitation levels. In Tokyo, the annual contribution from DOM sulfate deposition is approximately three times higher than that from TRB. Annual TRB sulfate deposition is lowest at Ogasawara at 1.1 ± 0.2 mg m-2 d-1, and the annual oceanic DMS contribution to sulfate deposition is high, accounting for 1.3 mg m-2 d-1 (20 ± 6%). The contribution of Asian dust was estimated to be 1-5.2 mg m-2 d-1(3-6%), which occurred in a single Asian dust event on the Sea of Japan side.
