Abstract
We successfully performed electron scattering off unstable nuclei which were produced online from the photofission of uranium. The target ^{137}Cs ions were trapped with a new target-forming technique that makes a high-density stationary target from a small number of ions by confining them in an electron storage ring. After developments of target generation and transportation systems and the beam stacking method to increase the ion beam intensity up to approximately 2×10^{7} ions per pulse beam, an average luminosity of 0.9×10^{26} cm^{-2} s^{-1} was achieved for ^{137}Cs. The obtained angular distribution of elastically scattered electrons is consistent with a calculation. This success marks the realization of the anticipated femtoscope which clarifies the structures of exotic and short-lived unstable nuclei.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), nutritional status, and uremia management have been emphasized for bone management in hemodialysis patients. Nevertheless, valuable data on the importance of muscle mass in bone management are limited, including whether conventional management alone can prevent osteoporosis. Thus, the importance of muscle mass and strength, independent of the conventional management in osteoporosis prevention among hemodialysis patients, was evaluated. METHODS Patients with a history of hemodialysis 6 months or longer were selected. We assessed the risk for osteoporosis associated with calf circumference or grip strength using multivariable adjustment for indices of CKD-MBD, nutrition, and dialysis adequacy. Moreover, the associations between bone mineral density (BMD), calf circumference, grip strength, and bone metabolic markers were also evaluated. RESULTS A total of 136 patients were included. The odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for osteoporosis at the femoral neck were 1.25 (1.04-1.54, P < 0.05) and 1.08 (1.00-1.18, P < 0.05) per 1 cm shorter calf circumference or 1 kg weaker grip strength, respectively. Shorter calf circumference was significantly associated with a lower BMD at the femoral neck and lumbar spine (P < 0.001). Weaker grip strength was also associated with lower BMD at the femoral neck (P < 0.01). Calf circumference or grip strength was negatively correlated with bone metabolic marker values. CONCLUSION Shorter calf circumference or weaker grip strength was associated with osteoporosis risk and lower BMD among hemodialysis patients, independent of the conventional therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the impact of a fourth dose of BNT162b2 vaccine (Comirnaty®, Pfizer-BioNTech) on anti-SARS-CoV-2 (anti-S IgG) antibody titers in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD) and healthcare workers (HCWs). METHODS A multi-institutional retrospective study at five dialysis clinics in Japan was conducted using 238 HD patients and 58 HCW controls who received four doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. Anti-S IgG titers were measured at 1, 3, and 6 months after the second dose, at 1 and 5/6 months after the third dose, and at 1 month after the fourth dose of vaccine. RESULTS The log anti-S IgG titers of the HD patients after the second vaccination were significantly lower than those of the control group, but equalized 1 month after the third vaccination: 9.94 (95% CI 9.82-10.10) vs. 9.81 (95% CI 9.66-9.96), (P = 0.32). In both groups, the fold-increase in anti-S IgG titers was significantly lower after the fourth dose than after the third dose of vaccine. In addition, there was a strong negative correlation between antibody titers 1 month after the fourth vaccination and antibody titers immediately before the vaccination. In both groups, the waning rate of anti-S IgG titers from the post-vaccination peak level after the third vaccine dose was significantly slower than that after the second dose. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the humoral immune response was blunted after the fourth dose of the conventional BNT162b2 vaccine. However, multiple vaccinations could extend the window of humoral immune protection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination is shown to prevent severe illness and death in hemodialysis (HD) patients, but the immune response to vaccines is reduced in this population. This study compared SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antibody titers between HD patients and healthy controls in Japan for up to 6 months following vaccination. METHODS A multi-institutional retrospective study at five clinics in Japan was conducted using 412 HD patients and 156 healthy controls who received two doses of the BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) mRNA vaccine. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein S1 IgG antibody titers were measured at 1, 3, and 6 months after the second dose. The attenuation speed was calculated as slope (i.e., -β) using a linear mixed-effects model toward the log-transformed antibody titers. RESULTS The HD group had significantly lower month 1 antibody titers (Ab-titer-1) than the controls, and these remained lower through month 6 (95% CI: 2617.1 (1296.7, 5240.8) vs. 7285.4 (4403.9, 11,000.0) AU/mL at Ab-titer-1, and 353.4 (178.4, 656.3) vs. 812.0 (498.3, 1342.7) AU/mL at Ab-titer-6 (p < 0.001, respectively)). Lower log Ab-titer-1 levels in the HD group were significantly associated with a lower log Ab-titer-6 (0.90 [0.83, 0.97], p < 0.001). The -β values in the HD patients and healthy controls were -4.7 ± 1.1 and -4.7 ± 1.4 (year-1), respectively. CONCLUSION SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antibody titers were significantly lower in HD patients than in healthy controls at 1 (peak) and 6 months after the second vaccination. Low peak antibody titers contributed to low 6-month antibody titers.

Abstract
Our previous randomized controlled trial comparing the total dose of weekly versus biweekly continuous erythropoietin receptor activator (CERA) therapy to maintain optimal hemoglobin (Hb) levels showed no significant differences between the two therapies. This post-hoc analysis assessed whether the total dose of weekly versus biweekly CERA therapy to maintain Hb levels among HD patients differed among groups with or without iron supplementation. Of 107 patients, 40 received intravenous iron supplementation due to iron deficiency (iron group) and 67 did not (non-iron group). In the iron group, the weekly therapy tended to require a lower total CERA dose compared with the biweekly therapy (274 ± 274 vs 381 ± 223 μg/12 weeks, P = 0.051). Changes in circulating hepcidin levels, a negative regulator of intestinal iron uptake, after 2 weeks of CERA treatment were significantly lower in the weekly therapy compared with the biweekly therapy (-4.2 ± 6.3 vs 11.1 ± 7.3 ng/mL, P = 0.015). In the non-iron group, there were no significant differences in total CERA dose or changes in hepcidin levels between the two therapies. Shortening the CERA treatment interval combined with iron supplementation may lead to the more efficient treatment of HD patients with iron deficiency.

Abstract
We present estimations for the amounts of Arcobacter (A. butzleri, A. cryaerophilus and A. skirrowii) and Campylobacter (C. jejuni, C. coli and C. fetus) species in retail chicken, pork and beef meat using PCR-MPN. Arcobacter butzleri, A. cryaerophilus and C. jejuni were found in 100, 60 and 55% of chicken samples, respectively. No other Arcobacter or Campylobacter species were found in chicken. The MPNs of A. butzleri, A. cryaerophilus and C. jejuni were greater than 103 per 100 g in 50, 0 and 5% of samples, respectively. The MPN of A. butzleri was higher than that of C. jejuni in 95% of samples. In pork, A. butzleri and A. cryaerophilus were detected in 10 and 11 (50 and 55%) of 20 samples, respectively. No other Arcobacter or Campylobacter species were found in pork. Only one pork sample had more than 103 MPN per 100 g of A. cryaerophilus. For beef, only two samples tested positive for A. cryaerophilus, at 4600 and 92 MPN per 100 g. Overall, we found that the presence and MPNs of Arcobacter species are very high in chicken. In contrast, the positive ratios of Arcobacter in pork were high as chicken samples, but MPNs were lower than in chicken.

Abstract
Although continuous erythropoietin receptor activators (CERAs) are widely used erythropoiesis‐stimulating agents for correcting renal anemia in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD), few reports have examined weekly CERA administration. In this randomized controlled trial, we compared the efficacy and changes in the parameters of iron metabolism and erythropoiesis between weekly and biweekly CERA administration. In total, 120 patients undergoing maintenance HD were randomized to the weekly or biweekly group. The primary end point was the total CERA dose needed to maintain the target hemoglobin (Hb) levels during a 12‐week evaluation period. There was no significant difference in the total dose between the weekly and biweekly groups (median 175.0 [interquartile range (IQR) 93.8–337.5] µg/12 weeks vs. 300.0 [IQR 125.0–375.0] µg/12 weeks, P = .18). The mean Hb levels during the evaluation period were 10.9 ± 0.8 g/dL in the weekly group and 10.7 ± 0.8 g/dL in the biweekly group (P = .25). Weekly CERA administration was well tolerated. Weekly CERA administration similarly managed anemia as biweekly administration in patients undergoing HD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
It has been reported that low voltage areas and conduction abnormalities detected by electrophysiology catheters in the left atrium (LA) represent regional degeneration and fibrosis of the atrium and are related to a poor atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation outcome. Assessment of the local atrial function is clinically useful because atrial degeneration does not occur uniformly throughout the atrium. Though evaluating the global atrial function using speckle tracking imaging (STI) by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) has been attempted, TTE does not have a sufficient image quality to assess local atrial STI.
Purpose
To evaluate the local atrial function by STI using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and to elucidate the characteristics of the STI in normal and abnormal voltage regions in the LA.
Methods
We included 9 patients undergoing AF ablation with written informed consent for this prospective observational study. After pulmonary vein isolation, we performed voltage mapping of the LA in sinus rhythm using a CARTO system (Biosense). Abnormal regions and normal regions were defined as those with low voltage areas (<0.5 mV) and those with normal voltages, respectively. Echo images were recorded by an ACUSON SC2000 (Siemens) and SOUNDSTAR catheter (Biosense). We inserted the SOUNDSTAR catheter into the LA to obtain clear images, recorded the STI of the anterior and inferior wall, and performed an offline analysis of the atrial strain with an eSie VVI work station (Siemens) and the LA voltage data with CARTO system at each site simultaneously (left figure). We compared the strain during the atrial contraction phase (Sct) between the normal and abnormal regions.
Results
Among the study population, 5 patients had low voltage areas in the LA. We evaluated the STI at 26 normal regions and 44 abnormal regions. The typical regional speckle tracking waveform in the normal region was similar to a jugular vein pressure waveform (right figure). There was a difference in the amplitude of the Sct between the groups; it was significantly smaller in the abnormal regions (normal and abnormal regions, 9.8±5.0% and 5.6±3.8%, p=0.0001). The duration of the Sct was significantly more prolonged in the abnormal regions than normal regions (98.8±26.3ms and 118.2±33.9ms, p=0.015).
Conclusions
This pilot study demonstrated that the local atrial function was evaluable by STI using ICE and that the regional strain tracking waveform during the atrial contraction phase in abnormal voltage regions was smaller and more prolonged than that in normal regions. An evaluation of the regional STI with an ICE may be useful to detect regional abnormalities of the atrium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The metastatic involvement of regional lymph nodes is the most important prognostic factor for overall survival of skin cancer patients. The sonographic technique of freehand real-time tissue elastography (RTE), which displays tissue rigidity as a colour overlay of the tissue image, was developed. OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to evaluate the benefit of RTE for detecting lymph node metastases of skin cancer non-invasively before operation. METHODS We first selected lymph nodes of skin cancer patients which had already been diagnosed by biopsy as being reactive or metastatic, and then retrospectively collected images of RTE and B-mode and colour Doppler ultrasound on those lymph nodes performed preoperatively. Twenty-one lymph nodes from 12 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 23 lymph nodes from 14 patients with malignant melanoma (MM) and 14 lymph nodes from six patients with extramammary Paget disease (Paget) were investigated. Elastographic images were assessed on a scale of one to four according to the percentage of high elasticity (hard) area (HEA) in the lymph node. RESULTS In all three skin cancers, lymph nodes evaluated as grade 3 or 4 by RTE were metastatic. All lymph nodes evaluated as grade 1 or 2 by RTE were reactive in SCC, whereas some lymph nodes evaluated as grade 1 or 2 were metastatic in MM and Paget. CONCLUSION Real-time tissue elastography may aid in distinguishing reactive lymph nodes from metastatic ones especially in SCC.

Abstract
We developed a new type of dc-to-pulse converter, called FRAC (Fringing-RF-field-Activated dc-to-pulse Converter) for low-energy ion beams electrostatically accelerated from an ion source. FRAC is based on a radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linear trap technique and works in principle under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Ions continuously injected into FRAC are decelerated by an alternating longitudinal electric field produced in a distorted radio frequency field around the edge region of RFQ rods. These ions accumulate in FRAC for a significantly long time. This edge effect appears most notably when the energy of incoming ions exceeds the injection barrier potential by less than a few eV and the energy spread is quite small. The ions stacked during the FRAC operation period are ejected as a high intensity pulsed beam. We investigated the performance of FRAC and the capability of some FRAC operation methods developed to enhance the dc-to-pulse conversion efficiency. The maximum conversion efficiencies achieved were 22% and 5.6% at FRAC operation frequencies of 10 and 1 Hz, respectively. The number of ions contained in an output beam pulse with a duration of 500 μs was in practice 1.6 × 109 ions/pulse at an injected dc beam intensity of 4.6 nA and an operation frequency of 1 Hz.

Abstract
Oxidative stress accelerates the development of cardiovascular disease. Plasma cystine, a thiol oxidative stress marker, is related to several established factors for cardiovascular disease risk and prognosis. Although a comprehensive oxidative stress index is clinically required for hemodialysis patients with high oxidative stress, there are few reports concerning thiol oxidative stress markers predicting their prognosis. We investigated the relationship between plasma amino acids including cystine levels and cardiovascular disease-related and all-cause mortality in 132 maintenance hemodialysis patients. Higher cystine levels were associated with old age, longer hemodialysis duration, hemodialysis-associated hypotension, higher cardiothoracic ratio, higher blood urea nitrogen, and lower ankle-brachial index. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that high plasma cystine was independently related with both cardiovascular disease mortality and all-cause mortality. Thus, high plasma cystine levels predict the prognosis of hemodialysis patients. High cystine levels necessitate a careful investigation for the cause of oxidative stress and comorbidities like vascular injury.

Abstract
The Kitaev quantum spin liquid displays the fractionalization of quantum spins into Majorana fermions. The emergent Majorana edge current is predicted to manifest itself in the form of a finite thermal Hall effect, a feature commonly discussed in topological superconductors. Here we report on thermal Hall conductivity κ_{xy} measurements in α-RuCl_{3}, a candidate Kitaev magnet with the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. In a spin-liquid (Kitaev paramagnetic) state below the temperature characterized by the Kitaev interaction J_{K}/k_{B}∼80 K, positive κ_{xy} develops gradually upon cooling, demonstrating the presence of highly unusual itinerant excitations. Although the zero-temperature property is masked by the magnetic ordering at T_{N}=7 K, the sign, magnitude, and T dependence of κ_{xy}/T at intermediate temperatures follows the predicted trend of the itinerant Majorana excitations.

Abstract
The (^{12}N, ^{12}C) charge-exchange reaction at 175 MeV/u was developed as a novel probe for studying the isovector spin giant monopole resonance (IVSMR), whose properties are important for better understanding the bulk properties of nuclei and asymmetric nuclear matter. This probe, now available through the production of ^{12}N as a secondary rare-isotope beam, is exothermic, is strongly absorbed at the surface of the target nucleus, and provides selectivity for spin-transfer excitations. All three properties enhance the excitation of the IVSMR compared to other, primarily light-ion, probes, which have been used to study the IVSMR thus far. The ^{90}Zr(^{12}N,^{12}C) reaction was measured and the excitation energy spectra up to about 70 MeV for both the spin-transfer and non-spin-transfer channels were deduced separately by tagging the decay by γ emission from the ^{12}C ejectile. Besides the well-known Gamow-Teller and isobaric analog transitions, a clear signature of the IVSMR was identified. By comparing with the results from light-ion reactions on the same target nucleus and theoretical predictions, the suitability of this new probe for studying the IVSMR was confirmed.

Abstract
The risk of schizophrenia is increased in offspring whose mothers experience malnutrition during pregnancy. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are dietary components that are crucial for the structural and functional integrity of neural cells, and PUFA deficiency has been shown to be a risk factor for schizophrenia. Here, we show that gestational and early postnatal dietary deprivation of two PUFAs-arachidonic acid (AA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-elicited schizophrenia-like phenotypes in mouse offspring at adulthood. In the PUFA-deprived mouse group, we observed lower motivation and higher sensitivity to a hallucinogenic drug resembling the prodromal symptoms in schizophrenia. Furthermore, a working-memory task-evoked hyper-neuronal activity in the medial prefrontal cortex was also observed, along with the downregulation of genes in the prefrontal cortex involved in oligodendrocyte integrity and the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic system. Regulation of these genes was mediated by the nuclear receptor genes Rxr and Ppar, whose promoters were hyper-methylated by the deprivation of dietary AA and DHA. In addition, the RXR agonist bexarotene upregulated oligodendrocyte- and GABA-related gene expression and suppressed the sensitivity of mice to the hallucinogenic drug. Notably, the expression of these nuclear receptor genes were also downregulated in hair-follicle cells from schizophrenia patients. These results suggest that PUFA deficiency during the early neurodevelopmental period in mice could model the prodromal state of schizophrenia through changes in the epigenetic regulation of nuclear receptor genes.

Abstract
The first elastic electron scattering has been successfully performed at the self-confining radioactive-isotope ion target (SCRIT) facility, the world's first electron scattering facility for SCRIT technique achieved high luminosity (over 10^{27} cm^{-2} s^{-1}, sufficient for determining the nuclear shape) with only 10^{8} target ions. While ^{132}Xe used in this time as a target is a stable isotope, the charge density distribution was first extracted from the momentum transfer distributions of the scattered electrons by comparing the results with those calculated by a phase shift calculation.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Essentials A consensus methodology for assessing the effects of antiplatelet agents has not been established. Measuring platelet thrombus formation (PTF) for evaluating antiplatelet effects was assessed. PTF differentially reflected antiplatelet effects compared to other tests. PTF may be associated with the severity of carotid or intracranial arterial stenosis. Click to hear a presentation on platelet function testing in the clinic by Gresele and colleagues SUMMARY Background A consensus methodology for assessing the effects of antiplatelet agents has not been established. Objective We investigated the usefulness of directly measuring platelet thrombus formation (PTF) using a microchip-based flow chamber system for evaluating antiplatelet therapy. Patients/Methods Platelet thrombus formation in the whole blood of 94 patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease treated with clopidogrel and/or aspirin was measured in a flow chamber system at a shear rate of 1500 s(-1) and was compared with the results of assays for agonist-induced platelet aggregability, phosphorylation of vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein, platelet p-selectin expression (PS), and platelet-monocyte complexes. Results In all patients tested, area under the flow pressure curve (AUC10), which represents platelet thrombogenicity, showed weak correlation with platelet aggregation induced by either adenosine diphosphate or collagen. In addition, AUC10 was lower in patients treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (median 79.4) compared with patients treated with aspirin or clopidogrel alone (217.7 and 301.0, respectively), whereas the parameters evaluated by the other assays did not reflect the combined treatment efficacy. In clopidogrel monotherapy patients, AUC10 was associated with the severity of arterial stenosis (R(2) = 0.127, β = 1.25), and AUC10 and PS were higher in patients with severe carotid or intracranial arterial stenosis than in those with mild stenosis. Conclusions Platelet thrombus formation measurement using a flow-chamber system was useful for evaluating the efficacy of treatment with aspirin and clopidogrel, both alone and in combination. The present findings indicate that high residual platelet thrombogenicity in patients treated with clopidogrel may be associated with the severity of carotid or intracranial arterial stenosis.

Abstract
Foodborne disease outbreaks caused by raw olive flounders (Paralichthys olivaceus) parasitized with Kudoa septempunctata have been reported in Japan. Origins of olive flounders consumed in Japan vary, being either domestic or imported, and aquaculture-raised or natural. Although it is unknown whether different sources are associated with different outcomes, it is desirable to identify whether this is the case by determining whether unique K. septempunctata strains occur and if so, whether some are associated with foodborne illness. We here developed an intraspecific genotyping method, using the sequence variation of mitochondrial genes. We collected olive flounder samples from foodborne disease outbreaks, domestic fish farms or quarantine offices and investigated whether K. septempunctata genotype is associated with pathogenicity or geographic origin. The 104 samples were classified into three genotypes, ST1, ST2 and ST3. Frequency of symptomatic cases differed by genotypes, but the association was not statistically significant. Whereas K. septempunctata detected from aquaculture-raised and natural fish from Japan were either ST1 or ST2, those from fish inspected at quarantine from Korea to Japan were ST3. Our method can be applied to phylogeographic analysis of K. septempunctata and contribute to containing the foodborne disease. The genotype database is hosted in the PubMLST website (http://pubmlst.org/kseptempunctata/).

Abstract
We report three cases of verruciform xanthoma (VX) in male patients aged 82, 88 and 39 years, respectively. The clinical appearance was of a mulberry-like area consisting of small papillae, which is typical of and specific to VX, and the diagnosis were histologically confirmed in all cases. Dermoscopy revealed that each surface papilla contained linear or hairpin vessels, which were surrounded by a marginal whitish rim. These structures are thought to correspond to dilated vessels in dermal papillae and papillated acanthotic epidermis, respectively. Furthermore, observation under compression (similar to diascopy) revealed yellow dots and debris, reflecting lipid-laden foam cells. In order to compare these findings with those of other disorders with similar findings, two patients with xanthogranuloma, six with sebaceous naevus, and three with senile sebaceous hyperplasia were examined. The dermoscopic findings in these patients were not similar to those of VX. Therefore, we believe that the above dermoscopic findings are specific to VX and could be helpful in diagnosis.

Abstract
Cross sections of 1n-removal reactions from the neutron-rich nucleus (37)Mg on C and Pb targets and the parallel momentum distributions of the (37)Mg residues from the C target have been measured at 240 MeV/nucleon. A combined analysis of these distinct nuclear- and Coulomb-dominated reaction data shows that the (37)Mg ground state has a small 1n separation energy of 0.22(-0.09)(+0.12) MeV and an appreciable p-wave neutron single-particle strength. These results confirm that (37)Mg lies near the edge of the "island of inversion" and has a sizable p-wave neutron halo component, the heaviest such system identified to date.

Abstract
The halo structure of 31Ne is studied using 1n-removal reactions on C and Pb targets at 230 MeV/nucleon. A combined analysis of the cross sections of these nuclear and Coulomb dominated reactions that feed directly the 30Ne ground-state reveals 31Ne to have a small neutron separation energy, 0.15(-0.10)(+0.16) MeV, and spin-parity 3/2-. Consistency of the data with reaction and large-scale shell-model calculations identifies 31Ne as deformed and having a significant p-wave halo component, suggesting that halos are more frequent occurrences at the neutron drip line.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS No prospective comparison of endoscopic ultrasonography-guided direct celiac ganglia neurolysis (EUS - CGN) vs. EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis (EUS - CPN) has been reported. The aim of the current study was to compare the effectiveness of EUS - CGN and EUS - CPN in providing pain relief from upper abdominal cancer pain in a multicenter randomized controlled trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with upper abdominal cancer pain were randomly assigned to treatment using either EUS - CGN or EUS - CPN. Evaluation was performed at Day 7 postoperatively using a pain scale of 0 to 10. Patients for whom pain decreased to ≤ 3 were considered to have a positive response, and those experiencing a decrease in pain to ≤ 1 were considered to be completely responsive. Comparison between the two groups was performed using intention-to-treat analysis. The primary endpoint was the difference in treatment response rates between EUS - CGN and EUS - CPN at postoperative Day 7. Secondary endpoints included differences in complete response rates, pain scores, duration of pain relief, and incidence of adverse effects. RESULTS A total of 34 patients were assigned to each group. Visualization of ganglia was possible in 30 cases (88 %) in the EUS - CGN group. The positive response rate was significantly higher in the EUS - CGN group (73.5 %) than in the EUS - CPN group (45.5 %; P = 0.026). The complete response rate was also significantly higher in the EUS - CGN group (50.0 %) than in the EUS - CPN group (18.2 %; P = 0.010). There was no difference in adverse events or duration of pain relief between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS EUS - CGN is significantly superior to conventional EUS - CPN in cancer pain relief.

Abstract
The double-differential cross sections for the (208)Pb and (90)Zr(t,(3)He) reactions at 300 MeV/u have been measured at the RI Beam Factory at RIKEN. This was the first physics experiment with the SHARAQ magnetic spectrometer. The combined analysis of the present (t,(3)He) data and previous (n,p) data provides the clearest identification for the β(+) isovector spin monopole resonance both in the (208)Tl and (90)Y nuclei, and puts the observations of this giant resonance on a firm foundation. The measured distributions of the (t,(3)He) monopole cross sections were well reproduced by the distorted-wave Born approximation calculation, where the target transition density was calculated with the self-consistent Hartree-Fock plus random-phase approximation using the T43 Skyrme interaction. A major part of the expected β(+) isovector spin monopole strength was found in the measured cross section spectra.

Abstract
The antiferromagnetism in Ru(2)MnGe can be suppressed by the substitution of V by Mn and ferromagnetism appears. Synchrotron-based magnetic Compton scattering experiments are used in order to investigates the role of 3d electrons in the indirect/direct exchange interactions for the appearance of ferromagnetism. A small spin moment for the itinerant electron part on the magnetic Compton profile indicates that the metallic ferromagnet Ru(2)Mn(0.5)V(0.5)Ge has a weak indirect exchange interaction between the d-like and sp-like (itinerant) electrons. This suggests that the appearance of ferromagnetism is caused by the enhancement of the direct exchange interactions between d-d electrons in the Ru(2)MnGe Heusler compound. These findings indicate that the indirect exchange interaction between itinerant electrons and localized electrons is a significant key point for the appearance of ferromagnetism in this system.
