Abstract
Bat-borne emerging zoonotic viruses cause major outbreaks, such as the Ebola virus, Nipah virus, and/or beta coronavirus. Pteropine orthoreovirus (PRV), whose spillover event occurred from fruits bats to humans, causes respiratory syndrome in humans widely in South East Asia. Repurposing approved drugs against PRV is an effective tool to confront future PRV pandemics. We screened 2,943 compounds in an FDA-approved drug library and identified eight hit compounds that reduce viral cytopathic effects on cultured Vero cells. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis revealed that six of eight hit compounds significantly inhibited PRV replication. Among them, micafungin used clinically as an antifungal drug, displayed a prominent antiviral effect on PRV. Secondly, the antiviral effects of micafungin on PRV infected human cell lines (HEK293T and A549), and their transcriptome changes by PRV infection were investigated, compared to four different bat-derived cell lines (FBKT1 (Ryukyu flying fox), DEMKT1 (Leschenault's rousette), BKT1 (Greater horseshoe bat), YUBFKT1 (Eastern bent-wing bats)). In two human cell lines, unlike bat cells that induce an IFN-γ response pathway, an endoplasmic reticulum stress response pathway was commonly activated. Additionally, micafungin inhibits viral release rather than suppressing PRV genome replication in human cells, although it was disturbed in Vero cells. The target of micafungin's action may vary depending on the animal species, but it must be useful for human purposes as a first choice of medical care.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the vascular enhancement and radiation dose in preoperative transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) computed tomography (CT) with a reduced contrast medium (CM) using volume scans in 256-multidetector row CT (MDCT) with a standard CM using 64-MDCT. METHODS This study included 78 patients with preoperative TAVI CT with either 64- or 256-MDCT. The CM was injected at 1.5 mL/kg in the 64-MDCT group and 1.0 mL/kg in the 256-MDCT group. We compared vascular enhancement of the aortic root and access routes, image quality (IQ) scores, and radiation dose in both groups. RESULTS Despite the reduced CM (by 33 %) in the 256-MDCT group, the mean vascular enhancement of the right and left subclavian arteries was significantly higher than that in the 64-MDCT group [284 and 267 Hounsfield units (HU) vs. 376 and 359 HU; p < 0.05]; however, no significant differences in the mean vascular enhancement in the ascending aorta, abdominal aorta at the celiac level, and bilateral common femoral arteries were observed between the two groups (p > 0.05 for all). The median IQ scores at the aortic root were higher in the 256-MDCT group than in the 64-MDCT group (3 vs. 4; p < 0.05), and those at the femoral access routes were comparable (4 vs. 4; p = 0.33). The mean effective dose was significantly reduced by 30 % in the 256-MDCT group (23.6 vs. 16.3 mSv; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION In preoperative TAVI CT, volume scans using 256-MDCT provide comparable or better vascular enhancement and IQ with a 30 % reduction in CM and radiation dose than those using 64-MDCT. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Volume scan using 256-MDCT for preoperative TAVI CT may reduce CM and radiation dose in TAVI patients with renal dysfunction.

Abstract
Morphogenesis is a developmental process that shapes multicellular organisms through complex and cooperative cellular movements. To understand the complex interplay between genetic programs and resulting multicellular morphogenesis, it is essential to characterize the morphologies and dynamics at the single-cell level, with an understanding of how physical forces serve as both signaling components and driving forces of tissue deformations. In recent years, advances in microscopy techniques have led to improvements in imaging speed, resolution, and depth. Concurrently, the development of various software packages has supported large-scale, single-cell-level analyses of challenging images. Although these tools have accelerated comprehensive examination of single-cell-level dynamics and mechanical processes during morphogenesis, sophisticated integration requires further expertise. With this background, this review provides a practical overview of those techniques. First, we introduce microscopic techniques for multicellular imaging and image analysis software tools, with a focus on cell segmentation and tracking. Second, we provide an overview of cutting-edge techniques for mechanical manipulation of cells and tissues. Finally, we introduce recent findings on morphogenetic mechanisms and mechanosensations that were achieved by effectively combining microscopy, image analysis tools, and mechanical manipulation techniques. Mini-abstract In this review, we introduce multicellular imaging and image analysis tools. We also provide an overview of state-of-the-art techniques for mechanical manipulations of cells and tissues and give examples of how the combination of these tools and techniques has contributed to elucidating the mechanobiological aspect underlying morphogenesis.

Abstract
Division of labor is a prominent feature of social insect societies, where different castes engage in different specialized tasks. As brain differences are associated with behavioral differences, brain anatomy may be linked to caste polymorphism. Here, we show that termite brain morphology changes markedly with caste differentiation and age in the termite, Reticulitermes speratus. Brain morphology was shown to be associated with reproductive division of labor, with reproductive individuals (alates and neotenic reproductives) having larger brains than nonreproductives (workers and soldiers). Micro-computed tomography (CT) imaging and dissection observations showed that the king's brain morphology changed markedly with shrinkage of the optic lobes during their long life in the dark. Behavioral experiments showed that mature primary kings lose visual function as a result of optic lobe shrinkage. These results suggested that termites restructure their nervous systems to perform necessary tasks as they undergo caste differentiation, and that they also show flexible changes in brain morphology even after the final molt. This study showed that brain morphology in social insects is linked to caste and aging, and that the evolution of the division of labor is underpinned by the development of diverse neural systems for specialized tasks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Contrast-induced encephalopathy can result from neurotoxicity of contrast medium in the affected area. The development of intermediate catheters has allowed guidance of catheters to more distal arteries. This study focused on the association between contrast-induced encephalopathy and contrast injection from an intermediate catheter guided into a distal intradural artery during neurointervention for cerebral aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 420 consecutive aneurysms in 396 patients who underwent neurointervention for extracranial aneurysms and unruptured intracranial aneurysms at our institution from February 2012 to January 2023. Patients were divided into a group with contrast-induced encephalopathy and a group without. To identify risk factors for contrast-induced encephalopathy, we compared clinical, anatomic, and procedural factors between groups by multivariate logistic regression analysis and stepwise selection. RESULTS Among the 396 patients who underwent neurointervention for cerebral aneurysms, 14 (3.5%) developed contrast-induced encephalopathy. Compared with the group without contrast-induced encephalopathy, the group with contrast-induced encephalopathy showed significantly higher rates of patients on hemodialysis, previously treated aneurysms, intradural placement of a catheter for angiography, nonionic contrast medium, and flow-diversion procedures in univariate analyses. Stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed intradural placement of a catheter for angiography (OR = 40.4; 95% CI, 8.63-189) and previously treated aneurysms (OR = 8.20; 95% CI, 2.26-29.6) as independent predictors of contrast-induced encephalopathy. CONCLUSIONS Contrast injection from an intradural artery and retreatment of recurrent aneurysms were major risk factors for contrast-induced encephalopathy. Attention should be paid to the location of the intermediate catheter for angiography to avoid developing contrast-induced encephalopathy.

Abstract
Many organs of Drosophila show stereotypical left-right (LR) asymmetry; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we have identified an evolutionarily conserved ubiquitin-binding protein, AWP1/Doctor No (Drn), as a factor required for LR asymmetry in the embryonic anterior gut. We found that drn is essential in the circular visceral muscle cells of the midgut for JAK/STAT signaling, which contributes to the first known cue for anterior gut lateralization via LR asymmetric nuclear rearrangement. Embryos homozygous for drn and lacking its maternal contribution showed phenotypes similar to those with depleted JAK/STAT signaling, suggesting that Drn is a general component of JAK/STAT signaling. Absence of Drn resulted in specific accumulation of Domeless (Dome), the receptor for ligands in the JAK/STAT signaling pathway, in intracellular compartments, including ubiquitylated cargos. Dome colocalized with Drn in wild-type Drosophila. These results suggest that Drn is required for the endocytic trafficking of Dome, which is a crucial step for activation of JAK/STAT signaling and the subsequent degradation of Dome. The roles of AWP1/Drn in activating JAK/STAT signaling and in LR asymmetric development may be conserved in various organisms.

Abstract
Inhibitor of DNA-binding (Id) transcription factor regulates the balance of cell differentiation and proliferation and is involved in organ morphogenesis in various species. Previously, we revealed that extra macrochaetae ( emc ), encoding the only Id protein in Drosophila , controls chirality of cell shape in hindgut epithelium. Here, to further understand functions of emc in cell-shape regulations, we analyzed apical cell shape in the hindgut epithelium of emc mutant embryos. We found that emc mutants showed expansion of their apical surface, but no abnormalities in cell differentiation and proliferation. Therefore, our results demonstrate that Id can control cell morphology without affecting specification and propagation of cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Obtaining information on invisible vasculature distal to the occlusion site helps to deploy a stent retriever safely during mechanical thrombectomy for large-vessel occlusion. It is essential to reduce the amount of contrast used for detecting the vessels distal to the occlusion site because acute ischemic stroke patients tend to have chronic kidney disease and patients with severe chronic kidney disease are at an increased risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury. We assessed whether vessels distal to the occlusion site during acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion could be visualized on angiographic images using flat panel detector CT acquired following intra-arterial diluted contrast injection, compared with MRA findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between May 2019 and January 2020, we enrolled 28 consecutive patients with large-vessel occlusions of the anterior circulation eligible for mechanical thrombectomy following MR imaging. The patients underwent CBV imaging using flat panel detector CT with an intra-arterial diluted contrast injection instead of intravenous injection. Flat panel detector CT angiographic images reconstructed from the same dataset were evaluated for image quality, collateral status of the MCA territory, and visualization of the vessels distal to the occlusion site. These findings were compared with MRA findings. RESULTS Twenty-two patients were retrospectively examined. Flat panel detector CT angiographic image quality in 20 patients (91%) was excellent or good. The distal portion of the occluded vessel segment was visualized in 14 patients (70%), while the proximal portion of the segment adjacent to the occluded vessel in 3 (15%) was visualized. No visualization was observed in only 1 patient (5%) with no collateral supply. Flat panel detector CT angiographic images were shown to evaluate vessels distal to the occlusion site more accurately than MRA. CONCLUSIONS In acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion, flat panel detector CT angiographic images could successfully visualize vessels distal to the occlusion site with a small amount of contrast material.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify whether there are any muscle synergy changes in individuals with knee osteoarthritis, and to determine whether muscle synergy analysis could be applied to other musculoskeletal diseases. METHODS Subjects in this study included 11 young controls (YC), 10 elderly controls (EC), and 10 knee osteoarthritis patients (KOA). Gait was assessed on a split-belt treadmill at 3 km/h. A non-negative matrix factorization (NNMF) was applied to the electromyogram data matrix to extract muscle synergies. To assess the similarity of each module, we performed the NNMF analysis assuming four modules for all of the participants. Further, we calculated joint angles to compare the kinematic data between the module groups. RESULTS The number of muscle modules was significantly lower in the EC (2-3) and KOA (2-3) groups than in the YC group (3-4), which reflects the merging of late swing and early stance modules. The EC and KOA groups also showed greater knee flexion angles in the early stance phase. Contrarily, by focusing on the module structure, we found that the merging of early and late stance modules is characteristic in KOA. CONCLUSION The lower number of modules in the EC and KOA groups was due to the muscle co-contraction with increased knee flexion angle. Contrarily, the merging of early and late stance modules are modular structures specific to KOA and may be biomarkers for detecting KOA. SIGNIFICANCE Describing the changes in multiple muscle control associated with musculoskeletal degeneration can serve as a fundamental biomarker in joint disease.

Abstract
Adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP), the major energy currency of the cell, is involved in many cellular processes, including the viral life cycle, and can be used as an indicator of early
signs of cytopathic effect (CPE). In this study, we demonstrated that CPE can be analyzed using an FRET-based ATP probe named ATP indicator based on Epsilon subunit for Analytical
Measurements (ATeam). The results revealed that as early as 3 hr, the virus infected cells showed a significantly different Venus/cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) ratio compared to the
mock-infected cells. The ATeam technology is therefore useful to determine the early signs of ATP-based CPE as early as 3 hr without morphology-based CPE by light microscopy, and enables
high throughput determination of the presence of microorganisms in neglected samples stored in laboratories.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Delayed leukoencephalopathy is a rare complication that occurs after endovascular coiling of cerebral aneurysms. We aimed to describe a clinical picture of delayed leukoencephalopathy and explore potential associations with procedural characteristics. MATERIALS AND METHODS We considered endovascular coiling procedures for cerebral aneurysms performed between January 2006 and December 2017 in our institution with follow-up MRIs. We used logistic regression models to estimate the ORs of delayed leukoencephalopathy for each procedural characteristic. RESULTS We reviewed 1754 endovascular coiling procedures of 1594 aneurysms. Sixteen of 1722 (0.9%) procedures demonstrated delayed leukoencephalopathy on follow-up FLAIR MR imaging examinations after a median period of 71.5 days (interquartile range, 30-101 days) in the form of high-signal changes in the white matter at locations remote from the coil mass. Seven patients had headaches or hemiparesis, and 9 patients were asymptomatic. All imaging-associated changes improved subsequently. We found indications suggesting an association between delayed leukoencephalopathy and the number of microcatheters used per procedure (P = .009), along with indications suggesting that these procedures required larger median volumes of contrast medium (225 versus 175 mL, OR = 5.5, P = .008) as well as a longer median fluoroscopy duration (123.6 versus 99.3 minutes, OR = 3.0, P = .06). Our data did not suggest that delayed leukoencephalopathy was associated with the number of coils (P = .57), microguidewires (P = .35), and guiding systems (P = .57). CONCLUSIONS Delayed leukoencephalopathy after coiling of cerebral aneurysms may have multiple etiologies such as foreign body emboli, contrast-induced encephalopathy, or hypersensitivity reaction to foreign bodies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Precise vessel measurement plays a major role in size selection of stents used for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms and became even more critical after the introduction of flow diverter stents. We assessed agreement between intracranial vessel diameters of aneurysm patients measured on 2D digital subtraction (2D DSA) and 3D volume rendering digital subtraction angiography (3D DSA) images using an automatic windowing algorithm. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients with intracranial aneurysms were enrolled and 120 measurement points were selected on both 2D and 3D DSA images acquired by a biplane angiographic system. Automatic windowing was applied to the 3D DSA images. Inter-method agreement of vessel measurements on 2D and 3D DSA images was assessed by Bland Altman plots and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Inter- and intra-rater agreement of measurements on 3D DSA images were assessed by ICCs. RESULTS The mean differences between measurements on 2D and 3D DSA images were 0.14mm for the ICA, and 0.18mm for the ACA and MCA, which is about the size of one 3D DSA image voxel. For ICA measurements, inter-method, inter-rater and intra-rater agreements were good or excellent (consistency and absolute ICC≥0.95). For ACA and MCA measurements, the inter-method, inter-rater and intra-rater agreements were also good or excellent (consistency ICC=0.94, 0.89 and 0.93, absolute ICC=0.83, 0.84 and 0.85 respectively). CONCLUSIONS Vessel diameters may be measured on 3D DSA images with sufficient reliability for clinical use when applying an automatic windowing algorithm.

Abstract
How left-right (LR) asymmetric forms in the animal body is a fundamental problem in Developmental Biology. Although the mechanisms for LR asymmetry are well studied in some species, they are still poorly understood in invertebrates. We previously showed that the intrinsic LR asymmetry of cells (designated as cell chirality) drives LR asymmetric development in the Drosophila embryonic hindgut, although the machinery of the cell chirality formation remains elusive. Here, we found that the Drosophila homologue of the Id gene, extra macrochaetae (emc), is required for the normal LR asymmetric morphogenesis of this organ. Id proteins, including Emc, are known to interact with and inhibit E-box-binding proteins (E proteins), such as Drosophila Daughterless (Da). We found that the suppression of da by wild-type emc was essential for cell chirality formation and for normal LR asymmetric development of the embryonic hindgut. Myosin ID (MyoID), which encodes the Drosophila Myosin ID protein, is known to regulate cell chirality. We further showed that Emc-Da regulates cell chirality formation, in which Emc functions upstream of or parallel to MyoID. Abnormal Id-E protein regulation is involved in various human diseases. Our results suggest that defects in cell shape may contribute to the pathogenesis of such diseases.

Abstract
Polarized epithelial morphogenesis is an essential process in animal development. While this process is mostly attributed to directional cell intercalation, it can also be induced by other mechanisms. Using live-imaging analysis and a three-dimensional vertex model, we identified ‘cell sliding,’ a novel mechanism driving epithelial morphogenesis, in which cells directionally change their position relative to their subjacent (posterior) neighbors by sliding in one direction. In Drosophila embryonic hindgut, an initial left-right (LR) asymmetry of the cell shape (cell chirality in three dimensions), which occurs intrinsically before tissue deformation, is converted through LR asymmetric cell sliding into a directional axial twisting of the epithelial tube. In a Drosophila inversion mutant showing inverted cell chirality and hindgut rotation, cell sliding occurs in the opposite direction to that in wild-type. Unlike directional cell intercalation, cell sliding does not require junctional remodeling. Cell sliding may also be involved in other cases of LR-polarized epithelial morphogenesis. Many organs arise from simple sheets and tubes of cells. During development these sheets bend and deform into the more complex shape of the final organ. This can be seen, for example, in the hindgut of fruit flies, which is an organ that is equivalent to our intestines. Initially, the hindgut is a simple tube of cells. Later the hindgut develops a twist to the left that renders its right and left sides non-symmetrical. During twisting, the cells in the hindgut also change shape. It was not known how this shape change and other behaviors of the cells cause the hindgut to twist. Inaki et al. have now filmed how the hindgut develops in live fruit flies and produced computer simulations of the development process. The results suggest that a previously unidentified type of cell behavior called ‘cell sliding’ is responsible for twisting the hindgut. During sliding, the cells stay in contact with their neighbors as they move in a single direction. Sliding is triggered by the cells in the hindgut taking on a more symmetrical shape. Cell sliding may prove to be a common way to shape organs, many of which feature non-symmetrical twisted tubes of cells. In the future, learning how to control cell sliding could help researchers to create organs and biological structures in the laboratory that could be used in organ transplants and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the aqueous and vitreous penetration of levofloxacin, the drug was administered topically and/or orally to patients undergoing vitrectomy. METHODS Thirty-six patients undergoing initial vitrectomy with phacoemulsification and aspiration (PEA) were enrolled, and were divided randomly into three groups. Group 1 was treated with topical application of levofloxacin (three times on the day before surgery and seven times on the day of surgery), Group 2 received oral administration of levofloxacin (200 mg twice on the day before surgery and 200 mg at 3 hours before surgery), and Group 3 received both topical and oral levofloxacin according to the above schedules. The concentration of levofloxacin was measured in aqueous humor and vitreous fluid samples obtained during surgery. RESULTS In Groups 1, 2, and 3, the mean levofloxacin concentration in aqueous humor was 0.765+/-0.624 micro g/mL, 1.279+/-0.440 micro g/mL, and 1.823+/-0.490 micro g/mL, respectively, while the mean levofloxacin concentration in vitreous fluid was <0.02 micro g/mL, 1.455+/-0.445 micro g/mL, and 1.369+/-0.530 micro g/mL, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Oral administration of levofloxacin at a dose of 400 mg/day was sufficient for the prophylaxis of ocular infections, because the drug concentrations in both aqueous humor and vitreous fluid were higher than the MIC90 values for major ocular pathogens. Topical application of levofloxacin achieved adequate drug levels in aqueous humor, but not in vitreous fluid, while combined topical and oral administration had an additive effect on the drug concentration in aqueous humor.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the results and complications of combined pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), phacoemulsification and aspiration (PEA), and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. METHODS A total of 117 eyes from 114 patients who had undergone PPV combined with PEA and IOL implantation were retrospectively analyzed. Combined surgery was performed for a wide variety of vitreoretinal diseases. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were also reviewed. RESULTS The postoperative BCVA improved by 2 lines or more in 85 eyes (72.6%). Intraoperative complications consisted of retinal tears in 14 eyes (12.0%) and posterior capsular rupture in 2 eyes (1.7%). Iatrogenic retinal tears occurred more frequently in eyes with a macular hole than in eyes with any other disease (p=0.005, chi-square test). Postoperative complications consisted of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) (21 eyes), transient IOP elevation (29 eyes), vitreous hemorrhage (6 eyes), anterior chamber fibrin exudation (11 eyes), posterior iris synechia (8 eyes), neovascular glaucoma (1 eye), and recurrent retinal detachment (RD) (2 eyes). Fibrin exudation occurred more frequently in eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and RD than in eyes with any other disease (p=0.03, chi-square test). PCO occurred more frequently in eyes with PDR than in eyes with any other disease (p=0.03, chi-square test). CONCLUSIONS The present study suggests that a high success rate can be achieved when recently improved PPV techniques are combined wi th PEA and IOL implantation. The complications that were observed following this combined treatment varied with respect to the vitreoretinal disease present prior to surgery.

Abstract
An analytical method for quantifying zearalenone (ZEA) in pet foods using a liquid chromatograph-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometer (LC-APCI-MS) was developed, and an inter-laboratory study was conducted. ZEA was extracted from pet food samples with aqueous acetonitrile. The extract was purified using a multifunctional column, MultiSep 226 Aflazon+, and analysed with LC-APCI-MS. The limit of quantification of ZEA by this method was estimated to be 0.2 mg/kg for dry and semi-dry pet foods, and 0.1 mg/kg for wet pet food. The calibration curve of ZEA for this method showed linearity in the range of 0.1-10 ng of ZEA (0.01-1.0 µg/ml, 0.04-4.0 mg/kg matrix). The mean recoveries, repeatabilities, reproducibilities, and the HorRats for ZEA from the inter-laboratory validation study were 99.0-102%, 2.2-3.0%, 5.6-6.6%, and 0.33-0.36, respectively.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE The pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic parameter that best predicts the efficacy of vancomycin is the ratio of the area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) to the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). A 24-h AUC (AUC24 )/MIC ratio ≥ 400 was recommended in an American consensus review, but vancomycin treatment occasionally fails despite maintenance of AUC24 /MIC ≥ 400. We evaluated the association between clinical efficacy of vancomycin and two novel pharmacokinetic parameters, the 'area under the trough level' (AUTL) and the 'area above the trough level' (AATL), in hospitalized elderly patients with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pneumonia. METHODS The subjects were hospitalized elderly patients who were administered vancomycin for treatment of MRSA pneumonia between 2006 and 2012 at Sasebo Chuo Hospital (Nagasaki, Japan). Pharmacokinetic parameters of vancomycin were estimated for each patient by Bayesian analysis using population pharmacokinetic parameters for Japanese patients. Based on the patient-specific parameters thus obtained, AUC24 values were calculated as the vancomycin dosage divided by vancomycin clearance. AUTL was calculated as the trough serum concentration multiplied by 24 h, whereas AATL was calculated by subtracting AUTL from AUC24 . RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that efficacy of vancomycin was more strongly associated with AUTL than AUC24 . The optimal cut-off value of AUTL was 331 μg∙h/mL, which means that the optimal cut-off value of the trough serum concentration was 13·8 μg/mL. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Efficacy of vancomycin was associated with AUTL, a novel pharmacokinetic parameter. Determining the target AUTL or trough concentration may enhance the efficacy of vancomycin therapy in elderly patients with MRSA pneumonia. Given that nephrotoxicity may increase with a Ctrough in excess of 15 μg/mL, this level should ideally not be exceeded.

Abstract
Approximately 10% of cases of hypertension in Japan are caused by primary aldosteronism (PA), amounting to about 4 million patients in total. Primary aldosteronism due to unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion is potentially curable by adrenalectomy. The clinical benefits of identifying and treating PA have been reported internationally, but its cost-effectiveness is unclear. We examined whether diagnosing and treating hidden PA in hypertensive population was cost-effective compared with suboptimal treatment. Our hypothetical patient was a 50-year-old man diagnosed with stage I-III hypertension. We established a Markov decision model based on plausible clinical pathways and prognoses of PA. We applied cost-effectiveness analysis comparing a comprehensive diagnostic strategy for PA (measurement of plasma aldosterone/renin ratio, 2 loading tests, imaging, and selective adrenal venous sampling) with a suboptimal strategy to manage hypertension by medication unless the typical signs of PA or other complication were manifest. Outcome measures were expected costs, expected effectiveness, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio. The robustness of the findings was established by one-way and scenario sensitivity analyses. The comprehensive PA diagnostic strategy increased the expected costs by 64 004 JPY and expected life-years by 0.013 compared with standard treatment. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for the diagnosis of PA was 4 923 385 JPY per year. Our findings were sensitive to the outcomes of screening and treatment, and the costs of continuous or periodic medication for hypertension and the treatment of stroke and its complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Combination of high-resolution C-arm CT and novel metal artifact reduction software may contribute to the assessment of aneurysms treated with stent-assisted coil embolization. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a novel Metal Artifact Reduction prototype software combined with the currently available high spatial-resolution C-arm CT prototype implementation by using an experimental aneurysm model treated with stent-assisted coil embolization. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight experimental aneurysms were created in 6 swine. Coil embolization of each aneurysm was performed by using a stent-assisted technique. High-resolution C-arm CT with intra-arterial contrast injection was performed immediately after the treatment. The obtained images were processed with Metal Artifact Reduction. Five neurointerventional specialists reviewed the image quality before and after Metal Artifact Reduction. Observational and quantitative analyses (via image analysis software) were performed. RESULTS Every aneurysm was successfully created and treated with stent-assisted coil embolization. Before Metal Artifact Reduction, coil loops protruding through the stent lumen were not visualized due to the prominent metal artifacts produced by the coils. These became visible after Metal Artifact Reduction processing. Contrast filling in the residual aneurysm was also visualized after Metal Artifact Reduction in every aneurysm. Both the observational (P < .0001) and quantitative (P < .001) analyses showed significant reduction of the metal artifacts after application of the Metal Artifact Reduction prototype software. CONCLUSIONS The combination of high-resolution C-arm CT and Metal Artifact Reduction enables differentiation of the coil mass, stent, and contrast material on the same image by significantly reducing the metal artifacts produced by the platinum coils. This novel image technique may improve the assessment of aneurysms treated with stent-assisted coil embolization.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes results from the failure of beta-cells to adequately compensate for insulin resistance. Although the reduction of beta-cell mass is because of increased cell death and/or inadequate replication or neogenesis, the mechanism underlying beta-cell mass reduction is not fully understood. Here, we clarify the role of insulin signaling pathway in the beta-cell apoptosis using insulin resistant model mice. Wild-type mice and those carrying a mutation in the insulin receptor (mIR) were fed either regular chow or a high-fat diet for 6 weeks and subsequently investigated for beta-cell apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and oxidative stress. Insulin tolerance tests revealed that mIR mice fed a high-fat diet (mIRHF) had higher insulin resistance. Beta-cell apoptosis was increased 2-fold in the wild-type mice fed a high-fat diet (wHF) compared with control mice, whereas beta-cell apoptosis in mIRHF mice did not increase compared with that in mIR mice. The expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress markers in isolated islets did not differ between the groups. Staining of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal in islets of wHF mice significantly increased, but the staining in mIRHF mice was not different from that in control group. Gene expression of the antioxidant enzyme MnSOD was significantly higher in mIRHF mice than those in the other 3 groups. A mutation in the insulin receptor attenuated the oxidative stress and apoptosis in beta-cells even though high caloric nutrient was loaded. Our results suggest that reduced insulin signaling protects beta-cells thorough decline of oxidative stress.

Abstract
An analytical method to determine fumonisin B1 (FB1), B2 (FB2) and B3 (FB3) in pet foods using a liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometer (LC-ESI-MS) was developed, and an inter-laboratory study was conducted in eleven laboratories. FB1, FB2 and FB3 were extracted with aqueous acetonitrile. The extract was purified by a multifunctional column, MultiSep 211 Fum, and analysed by LC-ESI-MS. The limit of quantification of fumonisins was estimated to be 0.2 mg/kg for dry and semi-dry pet foods, and 0.1 mg/kg for wet pet food. The calibration curve showed linearity in the range of 0.1-5 ng of fumonisins (0.02-1.0 μg/ml). The values of the mean recovery for FB1 at 0.1-1.0 mg/kg were 93.3-107% and of the relative standard deviation less than 7.9%. These values were 87.3-102 and 8.6% for FB2 and 90.8-102 and 8.6% for FB3, respectively. The mean recovery, repeatability, reproducibility and the Horwitz ratio for FB1 from the inter-laboratory validation study were 92.9-98.9%, 2.6-4.6%, 6.8-10% and 0.41-0.54, respectively. The values for FB2 were 91.5-94.7%, 2.7-5.9%, 6.8-8.9% and 0.33-0.55, respectively, and the values for FB3 were 90.1-94.3%, 3.3-5.9%, 7.3-9.5% and 0.44-0.57, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Elevation of glutamate, an excitatory amino acid, during inflammation and injury plays a crucial role in the reception and transmission of sensory information via ionotropic and metabotropic receptors. This study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying the biphasic effects of metabotropic glutamate mGlu5 receptor activation on responses to noxious heat. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH We assessed the effects of intraplantar quisqualate, a non-selective glutamate receptor agonist, on heat and mechanical pain behaviours in mice. In addition, the effects of quisqualate on the intracellular calcium response and on membrane currents mediated by TRPV1 channels, were examined in cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons from mice. KEY RESULTS Activation of mGlu5 receptors in hind paw transiently increased, then decreased, the response to noxious heat. In sensory neurons, activation of mGlu5 receptors potentiated TRPV1-mediated intracellular calcium elevation, while terminating activation of mGlu5 receptors depressed it. TRPV1-induced currents were potentiated by activation of mGlu5 receptors under voltage clamp conditions and these disappeared after washout. However, voltage-gated calcium currents were inhibited by the mGlu5 receptor agonist, even after washout. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These results suggest that, in sensory neurons, mGlu5 receptors biphasically modulate TRPV1-mediated intracellular calcium response via transient potentiation of TRPV1 channel-induced currents and persistent inhibition of voltage-gated calcium currents, contributing to heat hyper- and hypoalgesia.

Abstract
Background Several lines of evidence associate misregulated genetic expression with risk factors for diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and other diseases that sporadically develop in healthy adults with no background of hereditary disorders. Thus, we are interested in genes that may be expressed normally through parts of an individual’s life, but can cause physiological defects and disease when misexpressed in adulthood. Results We attempted to identify these genes in a model organism by arbitrarily misexpressing specific genes in adult Drosophila melanogaster, using 14,133 Gene Search lines. We identified 39 “reduced-lifespan genes” that, when misexpressed in adulthood, shortened the flies’ lifespan to less than 30% of that of control flies. About half of these genes have human orthologs that are known to be involved in human diseases. For about one-fourth of the reduced-lifespan genes, suppressing apoptosis restored the lifespan shortened by their misexpression. We determined the organs responsible for reduced lifespan when these genes were misexpressed specifically in adulthood, and found that while some genes induced reduced lifespan only when misexpressed in specific adult organs, others could induce reduced lifespan when misexpressed in various organs. This finding suggests that tissue-specific dysfunction may be involved in reduced lifespan related to gene misexpression. Gene ontology analysis showed that reduced-lifespan genes are biased toward genes related to development. Conclusions We identified 39 genes that, when misexpressed in adulthood, shortened the lifespan of adult flies. Suppressing apoptosis rescued this shortened lifespan for only a subset of the reduced-lifespan genes. The adult tissues in which gene misexpression caused early death differed among the reduced-lifespan genes. These results suggest that the cause of reduced lifespan upon misexpression differed among the genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The natural history and therapeutic management of dissecting vertebrobasilar aneurysms without ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke (nonstroke dissecting vertebrobasilar aneurysms) are not well-established. We conservatively followed patients with nonstroke dissecting vertebrobasilar aneurysms and evaluated the factors related to clinical and morphologic deterioration. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred thirteen patients were enrolled and divided by clinical presentation at diagnosis: asymptomatic (group 1, n = 52), pain only (group 2, n = 56), and mass effect (group 3, n = 5). Patients were conservatively managed without intervention and antithrombotic therapy. Clinical outcomes and morphologic changes were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 113 patients who were diagnosed with nonstroke dissecting vertebrobasilar aneurysm had a mean follow-up of 2.9 years (range, 27 days to 8 years). Throughout that period, 1 patient in group 1 (1.9%) and 1 patient in group 2 (1.8%) showed clinical deterioration due to mass effect, and 1 patient in group 3 (20%) developed ischemic stroke followed by subarachnoid hemorrhage. Most patients (97.3%) were clinically unchanged. Three patients who had clinical deterioration showed aneurysm enlargement (P < .001). Aneurysms remained morphologically unchanged in 91 patients (80.5%). Aneurysm enlargement was seen in 5 patients (4.4%); risk of enlargement was significantly associated with either maximum diameter (hazard ratio = 1.30; 95% CI, 1.11-11.52; P = .001) or aneurysm ≥10 mm (hazard ratio = 18.0; 95% CI, 1.95-167; P = .011). CONCLUSIONS The natural course of these lesions suggests that acute intervention is not always required and close follow-up without antithrombotic therapy is reasonable. Patients with symptoms due to mass effect or aneurysms of >10 mm may require treatment.

Abstract
In recent years, the incidence of therapy-related myelodysplastic syndrome (t-MDS) and therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) that occur during chemotherapy for ovarian cancer has increased. While alkylating agents and topoisomerase II inhibitors are particularly mutagenic and have strong leukemogenic potential, paclitaxel and combination chemotherapy/radiation therapy also appear to induce t-MDS. The present authors report a case of t-MDS that developed during chemotherapy and radiation therapy for ovarian cancer. The patient was a 75-year-old woman who received six courses of cyclophosphamide/doxorubicin/cisplatin (CAP) therapy after initial surgery for Stage IIIc grade ovarian cancer in 1995. Beginning in February 2005, the patient experienced multiple recurrences due to sternal metastasis. Chemotherapy, including paclitaxel and carboplatin (TC), was administered intermittently and was combined with radiation therapy to a sternal metastatic lesion. Pancytopenia was observed in December 2008, and she was diagnosed with t-MDS (WHO subtype, refractory cytopenias with multilineage dysplasia [RCMD]): the time from first chemotherapy to t-MDS onset was 106 months. Without evidence of blast crisis, the recurrent lesions continued to grow and caused multiple cerebral infarctions, from which she eventually died. The cumulative doses of paclitaxel and carboplatin administered to this patient were 1,968 mg and 6,480 mg, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Precise aneurysm measurements and volume embolization ratios are essential for long-term durability of endovascular coil embolization. We evaluated the accuracy of newly developed semiautomatic cerebral aneurysm measurement software, NeuroVision, and explored the value of volume embolization ratio in the prediction of re-treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We compared software-derived volume measurements of 4 silicone aneurysm models with those calculated with an approximation formula and ground truth values (validation study). We used NeuroVision to retrospectively evaluate outcomes of 100 unruptured aneurysms (97 patients) treated with embolization (clinical study). Aneurysm size (height, width, and neck), volume, and volume embolization ratios were calculated for 3 groups (stable, recanalization, and re-treatment) and were compared. RESULTS This validation study illustrated higher accuracy of NeuroVision in computing aneurysm volume compared with an approximation formula: percentage absolute errors were 4.50% ± 3.18% and 23.07% ± 17.60%, with maximal percentage absolute errors of 8.99% and 45.63%, respectively. Of 100 unruptured aneurysms, 20 recanalized and 12 were re-treated. Average volume embolization ratios of stable and re-treated aneurysms were 24.88% ± 5.91% and 20.50% ± 4.06%, respectively (P ≤ .01). The optimal volume embolization ratio cutoff point for re-treatment was < 19.15%, at which the Youden index was 0.50 (sensitivity, 58.33%; specificity, 87.50%; area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.74). CONCLUSIONS The NeuroVision software provided accurate aneurysm volume measurements and may be a useful standardized tool to measure aneurysm size and volume, especially for multicenter clinical studies. Volume embolization ratio may be a valuable predictor of aneurysm occlusion changes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the deeper structures of the optic nerve and to analyze the shape of eyes with tilted disc syndrome (TDS) by swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) and three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (3D MRI). METHODS The medical records of 54 eyes of 36 patients with TDS were reviewed. The patients with TDS and high myopia were analyzed separately from those without high myopia. All the eyes were examined with a swept-source OCT, and 22 of the eyes were examined by 3D MRI. RESULTS A total of 38 eyes of 29 patients were highly myopic and 16 eyes of 15 patients were not highly myopic. The representative OCT findings of the optic disc were: a sloping of the lamina cribrosa posteriorly from the upper part to the lower part, a protrusion of the upper edge of Bruch's membrane, and choroid. The distance and the depth of the most protruded point from the fovea were significantly greater in the eyes with non-highly myopic TDS than those with highly myopic TDS. In the 3D MRI, the lower part of the posterior segment was protruded outward, and the optic nerves attached at the upper nasal edge of the protrusion. CONCLUSIONS The abnormalities detected by swept-source OCT and 3D MRI analyses indicate the possibility that the essential pathology of TDS is a deformity of the inferior globe below the optic nerve, and the positional relation between the fovea and the inferior protrusion determines the degree of myopia.

Abstract
There is no known treatment for the dry form of an age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Cell death and inflammation are important biological processes thought to have central role in AMD. Here we show that receptor-interacting protein (RIP) kinase mediates necrosis and enhances inflammation in a mouse model of retinal degeneration induced by dsRNA, a component of drusen in AMD. In contrast to photoreceptor-induced apoptosis, subretinal injection of the dsRNA analog poly(I : C) caused necrosis of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), as well as macrophage infiltration into the outer retinas. In Rip3(-/-) mice, both necrosis and inflammation were prevented, providing substantial protection against poly(I : C)-induced retinal degeneration. Moreover, after poly(I : C) injection, Rip3(-/-) mice displayed decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF-α and IL-6) in the retina, and attenuated intravitreal release of high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), a major damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP). In vitro, poly(I : C)-induced necrosis were inhibited in Rip3-deficient RPE cells, which in turn suppressed HMGB1 release and dampened TNF-α and IL-6 induction evoked by necrotic supernatants. On the other hand, Rip3 deficiency did not modulate directly TNF-α and IL-6 production after poly(I : C) stimulation in RPE cells or macrophages. Therefore, programmed necrosis is crucial in dsRNA-induced retinal degeneration and may promote inflammation by regulating the release of intracellular DAMPs, suggesting novel therapeutic targets for diseases such as AMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Whether to treat UIAs is controversial. The aim of the study was to compare the clinical outcome of patients with UIAs who were either treated conservatively or preventively. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with UIAs referred to our institution were prospectively enrolled in the study. Data collected included baseline characteristics, aneurysmal features, and procedural and follow-up information. Preventive treatment was recommended if the aneurysm was larger than 5 mm and was considered safely treatable. Endovascular surgery was the first-line therapy if the aneurysmal shape was appropriate for coiling. RESULTS From January 2003 through April 2008, a total of 879 patients with 1110 UIAs were enrolled; 325 patients with 369 UIAs (mean size, 7.8 mm) were treated (treatment group), and 603 patients with 741 UIAs (mean size, 4.4 mm) were managed conservatively (observation group). Mean follow-up was 692.5 days (1405.5 person-years). In the observation group, 26 aneurysms (3.5%) had ruptured (1.8% per year; 1405.5 person-years), 10 patients died, and 7 were disabled (mRS, 3-6: 2.8%). Aneurysmal size was a significant risk factor for rupture (P = .001). The treatment group included aneurysms treated either with coiling (n=315), clipping (n=32), or a combined approach (n=9); 1 patient died, and 3 were disabled (mRS, 3-6: 1.2%). Therapeutic intervention was equal (UIAs of all sizes) or superior (UIAs > 5 mm; P = .025) to conservative management. CONCLUSIONS Treatment of UIAs was justified in aneurysms larger than 5 mm, and EVS can be safely applied to nearly 90% of UIAs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the anatomic characteristics of eyes with pathological myopia and peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (ICC) located temporal to the optic disc. METHODS A total of 125 with pathologic myopia were scanned with swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT). Temporal ICC was defined as ICC located temporal to the optic disc seen in horizontal OCT section through the optic disc center. Definition of pathologic myopia was refractive error >8.00 diopters (D) or an axial length >26.5 mm. RESULTS In all, 17 eyes of 16 patients had temporal ICC. All of the eyes had temporal or temporally wider annular conus. The ICC was observed temporal to the optic disc in 15 of 17 eyes, and 2 of the remaining eyes also had inferior ICC. Even in the two eyes with both temporal and inferior ICC, the temporal ICC was much wider than the inferior ICC. Inner retinal defect at the border of conus and temporal ICC was detected in two eyes. The temporal ICC was extensive in the posterior fundus with the average width of 1467.8 ± 1328.1 μm (range; 442-6200 μm) in a horizontal section. In two eyes, the temporal ICC extended beyond the central fovea. CONCLUSIONS Peripapillary ICC can develop temporal to the optic disc without involving the area inferior to optic disc in highly myopic eyes. Temporal ICC appeared much wider than inferior ICC, which is usually restricted to the area around the optic disc. The possible reasons why ICC develops in temporal to the optic disc are presented.
