Abstract
In this work, a measurement setup to study the Seebeck and Nernst effect at high temperatures and high magnetic fields is introduced and discussed. The measurement system allows for simultaneous measurements of both thermoelectric effects up to 700 K and magnetic fields up to 12 T. Based on theoretical concepts, measurement equations are derived that counteract constant spurious offset voltages and, therefore, inhibit systematic errors in the measurement setup. The functionality is demonstrated on polycrystalline samples of elemental bismuth as well as various full-Heusler materials, exhibiting an anomalous Nernst effect. In all samples, the measured Seebeck and Nernst coefficients align excellently with the reported values. This allows future research to substantially extend the measured temperature and field intervals, commonly limited to temperatures below room temperature. For the first time, the thermoelectric and thermomagnetic properties of these materials are reported up to temperatures of 560 K.

Abstract
AIM To compare the radiation dose, image quality, and conspicuity of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in pancreatic protocol dual-energy computed tomography (CT) between two X-ray tubes mounted in the same CT machine. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study comprised 80 patients (median age, 73 years; 45 men) who underwent pancreatic protocol dual-energy CT from January 2019 to March 2022 using either old (Group A, n=41) or new (Group B, n=39) X-ray tubes mounted in the same CT machine. The imaging parameters were completely matched between the two groups, and CT data were reconstructed at 70 and 40 keV. The CT dose-index volume (CTDIvol); CT attenuation of the abdominal aorta, pancreas, and PDAC; background noise; and qualitative scores for the image noise, overall image quality, and PDAC conspicuity were compared between the two groups. RESULTS The CTDIvol was lower in Group B than Group A (7.9 versus 9.2 mGy; p<0.001). The CT attenuation of all anatomical structures at 70 and 40 keV was comparable between the two groups (p=0.06-0.78). The background noise was lower in Group B than Group A (12 versus 14 HU at 70 keV, p=0.046; and 26 versus 30 HU at 40 keV, p<0.001). Qualitative scores for image noise and overall image quality at 70 and 40 keV and PDAC conspicuity at 40 keV were higher in Group B than Group A (p<0.001-0.045). CONCLUSION The latest X-ray tube could reduce the radiation dose and improve image quality in pancreatic protocol dual-energy CT.

Abstract
The bulky phenolic compound tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is a brominated flame retardant used in a wide range of products; however, it diffuses into the environment, and has been reported to have toxic effects. Although it is well-known that white-rot fungi degrade TBBPA through ligninolytic enzymes, no other metabolic enzymes have yet been identified, and the toxicity of the reaction products and their risks have not yet been examined. We found that the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 converted TBBPA to TBBPA-O-β-D-glucopyranoside when grown under non-ligninolytic-enzyme-producing conditions. The metabolite showed less cytotoxicity and mitochondrial toxicity than TBBPA in neuroblastoma cells. From molecular biological and genetic engineering experiments, two P. sordida glycosyltransferases (PsGT1c and PsGT1e) that catalyze the glycosylation of TBBPA were newly identified; these enzymes showed dramatically different glycosylation activities for TBBPA and bisphenol A. The results of computational analyses indicated that the difference in substrate specificity is likely due to differences in the structure of the substrate-binding pocket. It appears that P. sordida YK-624 takes up TBBPA, and reduces its cytotoxicity via these glycosyltransferases.

Abstract
Dental plaque, a highly structured polymicrobial biofilm, persistently forms in the oral cavity and is a common problem affecting oral health. The role of oral defense factors in either collaborating or disrupting host-microbiome interactions remains insufficiently elucidated. This study aims to explore the role of LL-37, a critical antimicrobial peptide in the oral cavity, in dental plaque formation. Through immunostaining dental plaque specimens, we observed that LL-37 and DNA colocalized in the samples, appearing as condensed clusters. In vitro experiments revealed that LL-37 binds rapidly to oral bacterial DNA, forming high molecular weight, DNase-resistant complexes. This interaction results in LL-37 losing its inherent antibacterial activity. Further, upon the addition of LL-37, we observed a visible increase in the precipitation of bacterial DNA. We also discovered a significant correlation between the levels of the DNA-LL-37 complex and LL-37 within dental plaque specimens, demonstrating the ubiquity of the complex within the biofilm. By using immunostaining on dental plaque specimens, we could determine that the DNA-LL-37 complex was present as condensed clusters and small bacterial cell-like structures. This suggests that LL-37 immediately associates with the released bacterial DNA to form complexes that subsequently diffuse. We also demonstrated that the complexes exhibited similar Toll-like receptor 9-stimulating activities across different bacterial species, including Porphyromonas gingivalis, Fusobacterium nucleatum, Prevotella intermedia, and Streptococcus salivarius. However, these complexes prompted dissimilar activities, such as the production of IL-1β in monocytic cells via both NLRP3 pathway-dependent and pathway-independent mechanisms. This study, therefore, reveals the adverse role of LL-37 in dental plaque, where it binds bacterial DNA to form complexes that may precipitate to behave like an extracellular matrix. Furthermore, the unveiled stimulating properties and species-dependent activities of the oral bacterial DNA-LL-37 complexes enrich our understanding of dental plaque pathogenicity and periodontal innate immune responses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the discriminative capabilities for the manifestation of sarcopenia or physical frailty between serum creatinine- and cystatin C-derived indices among community-dwelling older adults. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Primary Care and Community. PARTICIPANTS We utilized a subset of data from the Frail Elderly in the Sasayama-Tamba Area (FESTA) study, which was initiated in 2015 to gather comprehensive information on various health-related parameters among community-dwelling older individuals (age ≥65 years). MEASUREMENTS Five serum creatinine-cystatin C based indices including the Sarcopenia Index, the serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio, the disparity between serum cystatin-C-based and creatinine-based estimated GFR, the total body muscle mass index (TBMM), and the prediction equation for skeletal muscle mass index (pSMI) were employed. Sarcopenia and physical frailty were identified based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria and the revised Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study criteria, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the discriminative abilities of these tools. RESULTS In the analysis of 954 participants, 52 (5.5%) were identified with sarcopenia and 35 (3.7%) with physical frailty. Regarding sarcopenia discrimination, TBMM and pSMI both exhibited area under the curve (AUC) values exceeding 0.8 for both men and women. Concerning the identification of physical frailty, AUC values ranged from 0.61 to 0.77 for males and 0.50 to 0.69 for females. In the multivariate logistic regression analyses, only TBMM and pSMI consistently displayed associations with sarcopenia, irrespective of sex (P<0.001, respectively). On the other hand, no consistent associations were observed between the indices and physical frailty. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a robust association of a serum creatinine- and cystatin C-derived indices, especially TBMM and pSMI, with sarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults. Conversely, the application of these indices for the screening of physical frailty has its constraints, necessitating further investigation.

Abstract
Debris dams have a crucial role in consolidation of river basins and allow erosion control, flood protection in mountainous areas. Many of these infrastructures have operated over five decades, thus structural health monitoring (SHM) of these infrastructures became timely due to their aging. Utilizing new techniques is required for inspecting a large number of dams and deciding about their reinforcement or reconstruction. In this work, we propose cosmic-ray muography as a complementary tool for the SHM of debris dams. We conducted the first muographic surveying of a sabo check dam in the Karasu River, Gunma, Japan. The average mass density image was produced with a spatial resolution of 0.5 m through the dam. The comparison of density data reconstructed by muography and gamma-ray logging suggest the internal deterioration of dam in the region where cement released out from the embankment body.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) An accurate and non-invasive assessment of tumor response following treatment is essential. Traditional anatomical imaging techniques are insufficient before a significant morphological change can be observed. Metabolic imaging of molecular processes in the living body is also used. In recent years, deuterium magnetic resonance spectroscopic (MRS) imaging has been demonstrated as an alternative for cancer metabolic imaging by high-field (4-11T) MRI using deuterium-labeled molecules as a contrast agent. The study aim was to evaluate the feasibility of using deuterium MRI 1.5T for tumor visualization and early assessment of the efficacy of three anticancer treatment strategies (radiation and anticancer drugs) in pancreatic cancer model mice given heavy water (D2O) to induce deuterium (2H)-tissue labeling. MATERIALS/METHODS A MIA PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer model of six BALB/c-nu mice was prepared, and repeated deuterium MRI was performed during the first 10 days after starting free drinking of 30% D2O. We also evaluated 2H accumulation in the tumor after irradiation, bevacizumab administration, or gemcitabine administration of other 20 mice. Additional confirmatory proton MRI, ex vivo metabolic hyperpolarization 13C-MRS and histopathology were performed. RESULTS The mouse's whole-body distribution of 2H was visible 1 day after drinking, and the signal intensity increased daily. Although the tumor size did not change 1 and 3 days after irradiation, the amount of 2H in the tumor decreased significantly. The 2H image intensity of the tumor also significantly decreased after the administration of bevacizumab or gemcitabine. Metabolic hyperpolarization 13C-MRS, proton MRI and 2H-NMR spectroscopy confirmed the efficacy of the anticancer treatments. CONCLUSION Deuterium MRI at 1.5T proved feasibility to track 2H distribution throughout mouse tissues during D2O administration and revealed a higher 2H accumulation in the tumor xenografts. This research demonstrated a promising successful method for early assessment of radiotherapy and chemotherapy of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Cardiac arrhythmias are usually treated with invasive, time consuming catheter ablation techniques. While recently stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an emerging non-invasive treatment in the management of cardiac arrhythmias. To identify and assess the cardiac radioablation by MR examination, including diffusion-weighted MRI, dynamic Gd-enhanced MRI, MR spectroscopy, and T2-weighted MRI early after SBRT is very difficult. We have been developing the free radical imaging methods using Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP)-MRI with nitroxyl radicals as a redox probe (e.g., 4-Methacryloyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (Tempo methacrylate; TempoMC)). In this study, we examined the possibility of in vivo spatiotemporal visualization of SBRT for cardiac radioablation to the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) based on redox reaction by in vivo DNP-MRI. MATERIALS/METHODS All animal procedures were approved by institutional animal care and use committee and performed in full compliance with its guidelines. This study was conducted with two approaches. First, four mini pigs underwent electrophysiology assessment using electroanatomic mapping (EAM) before and 3 months after SBRT with single-fraction doses of 25 Gy. The target of CTI was defined by cardiologist. We defined the planning target volume (PTV): the internal margin (IM) + set up margin (SM) = SI 15 mm, AP 10mm, LR 10 mm were added to the target. Radiotherapy plans were created by the software used in daily clinical practice. Second, free radical imaging by low filed type of DNP-MRI was performed on the four mice before and after 25 Gy and 10 Gy irradiation to whole heart. ESR signal measurements were also performed. RESULTS A total dose of 25 Gy was successfully delivered to PTV in a single procedure in all mini pigs. EAM visualized the irradiated site and confirmed clockwise conduction block across the CTI. Although routine MRI could not detect the cardiac radiation injury clearly, the four mice of heart were well delineated on MRI and clearly visualized by DNP-MRI. DNP-MRI signal of TempoMC were decreased depending on prescribed irradiation dose. CONCLUSION These data demonstrated the safety and feasibility of SBRT for creating conduction block across the CTI in mini pigs. Although to identify and assess the irradiated site by routine MR examination was impossible, the free radical imaging methods using Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP)-MRI with TempoMC could be a promising successful method for the assessment of cardiac radioablation. This new quantum image by DNP-MRI will open the possibility of treating cardiac arrhythmias by SBRT safety and noninvasively.

Abstract
White-rot fungi are the most important group of lignin biodegraders. Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 has higher ligninolytic activity than that of model white-rot fungi. However, the underlying mechanism responsible for lignin degradation by white-rot fungi remains unknown, and the induced compounds isolated from white-rot fungi for lignin degradation have never been studied. In the present study, we tried to screen ligninolytic-inducing compounds produced by P. sordida YK-624. After large-scale incubation of P. sordida YK-624, the culture and mycelium were separated by filtration. After the separation and purification, purified compounds were analyzed by high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. The sterilized unbleached hardwood kraft pulp was used for the initial evaluation of ligninolytic activity. Ergosterol was isolated and identified and it induced the lignin-degrading activity of this fungus. Moreover, we investigated ergosterol metabolites from P. sordida YK-624, and the ergosterol metabolites ergosta-4,7,22-triene-3,6-dione and ergosta-4,6,8(14),22-tetraen-3-one were identified and then chemically synthesized. These compounds significantly improved the lignin-degrading activity of the fungus. This is the first report on the ligninolytic-inducing compounds produced by white-rot fungi.

Abstract
Biohydrogen is mainly produced by anaerobic bacteria, anaerobic fungi, and algae under anaerobic conditions. In higher eukaryotes, it is thought that molecular hydrogen (H2) functions as a signaling molecule for physiological processes such as stress responses. Here, it is demonstrated that white-rot fungi produce H2 during wood decay. The white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor produces H2 from wood under aerobic conditions, and H2 production is completely suppressed under hypoxic conditions. Additionally, oxalate and formate supplementation of the wood culture increased the level of H2 evolution. RNA-seq analyses revealed that T. versicolor oxalate production from the TCA/glyoxylate cycle was down-regulated, and conversely, genes encoding oxalate and formate metabolism enzymes were up-regulated. Although the involvement in H2 production of a gene annotated as an iron hydrogenase was uncertain, the results of organic acid supplementation, gene expression, and self-recombination experiments strongly suggest that formate metabolism plays a role in the mechanism of H2 production by this fungus. It is expected that this novel finding of aerobic H2 production from wood biomass by a white-rot fungus will open new fields in biohydrogen research.

Abstract
It is believed that wood-rot fungi change their wood decay activities due to influences from co-existing bacterial communities; however, it is difficult to elucidate experimentally the interaction mechanisms in fungal-bacterial consortia because the bacterial community structure is quite unstable and readily changes. Indeed, the wood decay properties of fungal-bacterial consortia consisting of a white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 and a natural bacterial community changed dramatically during several sub-cultivations on wood. Therefore, development of a sub-cultivation method that imparts stability to the bacterial community structure and fungal phenotype was attempted. The adopted method using agar medium enabled maintenance of fungal phenotypes relating to wood decay and the bacterial community even through dozens of repetitive sub-cultures. Some bacterial metabolic pathways identified based on gene predictions were screened as candidates involved in P. sordida-bacterial interactions. In particular, pathways related to prenyl naphthoquinone biosynthesis appeared to be involved in an interaction that promotes higher lignin degradation selectivity by the consortia, as naphthoquinone derivatives induced phenol-oxidizing activity. Based on these results, it is expected that detailed analyses of the relationship between the wood-degrading properties of white-rot fungal-bacterial consortia and bacterial community structures will be feasible using the sub-cultivation method developed in this study.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report a case of a metastatic choroidal tumor treated with subretinal endoscopic surgery. METHODS A single case report. RESULTS A 68-year-old woman presented with a metastatic choroidal tumor in the right eye and an intraocular pressure of 54 mmHg. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy were ineffective in eliminating her eye pain. Subretinal endoscopic surgery was performed to remove the metastatic choroidal tumor with the complex retinal detachment attached to the posterior surface of the lens. The day after subretinal endoscopic surgery, the patient's intraocular pressure decreased to 7 mmHg and her pain subsided. The chemotherapeutic strategy was modified according to the pathological findings. Survival prognosis improved from 3 to 18 months. Twenty-one months after the surgery, the retinal detachment was reattached under silicone oil with a best-corrected visual acuity of 20/1,000 and an intraocular pressure of 15 mmHg. CONCLUSION In this case, subretinal endoscopic surgery preserved visual function, eliminating the need for enucleation.

Abstract
We report the first study of electrical resistivity, magnetization, and specific heat on YbCo2. The measurements on a single-phased sample of YbCo2bring no evidence of magnetic ordering down to 0.3 K in a zero magnetic field. The manifestations of low Kondo temperature are observed. The specific heat value divided by temperature,C/T, keeps increasing logarithmically beyond 7 J/mol K2with decreasing temperature down to 0.3 K without no sign of magnetic ordering, suggesting a very large electronic specific heat. Analysis of the magnetic specific heat indicates that the large portion of the low-temperature specific heat is not explained simply by the low Kondo temperature but is due to the strong intersite magnetic correlation in both the 3dand 4felectrons. Temperature-dependent measurements under static magnetic fields up to 7 T are carried out, which show the evolution of field-induced transition above 2 T. The transition temperature increases with increasing field, pointing to a ferromagnetic character. The extrapolation of the transition temperature to zero field suggests that YbCo2is in the very proximity of the quantum critical point. These results indicate that in the unique case of YbCo2, the itinerant electron magnetism of Co 3d-electrons and the Kondo effect within the vicinity of quantum criticality of Yb 4f-local moments can both play a role.

Abstract
The white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida (Karsten) Eriksson and Ryvarden 1978 is known for its excellent ligninolytic activity and capability to degrade various recalcitrant organic pollutants. In this study, we determined the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of P. sordida YK-624. The mitochondrial genome is 129,567 bp in length with a GC content of 28.9%, and contains two ribosomal RNA genes, 26 transfer RNA genes, and 50 open reading frames, including 14 conserved proteins. Phylogenetic analysis based on the mitochondrial genome confirmed that P. sordida belongs to the family Phanerochaetaceae in the order Polyporales, and showed the general phylogenetic relationships.

Abstract
Bright, short-pulsed neutron beams from laser-driven neutron sources (LANSs) provide a new perspective on material screening via fast neutron activation analysis (FNAA). FNAA is a nondestructive technique for determining material elemental composition based on nuclear excitation by fast neutron bombardment and subsequent spectral analysis of prompt γ-rays emitted by the active nuclei. Our recent experiments and simulations have shown that activation analysis can be used in practice with modest neutron fluences on the order of 105 n/cm2, which is available with current laser technology. In addition, time-resolved γ-ray measurements combined with picosecond neutron probes from LANSs are effective in mitigating the issue of spectral interference between elements, enabling highly accurate screening of complex samples containing many elements. This paper describes the predictive capability of LANS-based activation analysis based on experimental demonstrations and spectral calculations with Monte Carlo simulations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of hoarseness and its association with the severity of dysphagia in patients with sarcopenic dysphagia. DESIGN Cross-sectional study using the Japanese sarcopenic dysphagia database. SETTING 19 hospitals including 9 acute care hospitals, 8 rehabilitation hospitals, 2 long-term care hospitals, and 1 home visit rehabilitation team. PARTICIPANTS 287 patients with sarcopenic dysphagia, aged 20 years and older. MEASUREMENTS Sarcopenic dysphagia was diagnosed using a reliable and validated diagnostic algorithm for the condition. The presence and characteristics of hoarseness classified as breathy, rough, asthenic, and strained were assessed. The prevalence of hoarseness and the relationship between hoarseness and Food Intake LEVEL Scale (FILS) were examined. Order logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, naso-gastric tube, and handgrip strength was used to examine the relationship between hoarseness and FILS at baseline and at follow-up. RESULTS The mean age was 83 ± 10 years. Seventy-four (26%) patients had hoarseness, while 32 (11%), 20 (7%), 22 (8%), and 0 (0%) patients had breathy, rough, asthenic, and strained hoarseness, respectively. Median FILS at the initial evaluation was 7 (interquartile range, 5-8). Hoarseness (β=0.747, 95% confidence intervals= 0.229, 1.265, p=0.005), age, sex, naso-gastric tube, and handgrip strength were associated independently with baseline FILS, while hoarseness (β=0.213, 95% confidence intervals= -0.324, 0.750, p=0.438) was not associated independently with the FILS at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Hoarseness was associated with the severity of dysphagia at baseline, however not a prognostic factor for sarcopenic dysphagia. Resistance training of swallowing and respiratory muscles and voice training as part of rehabilitation nutrition might be useful for treating sarcopenic dysphagia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate whether inflammation affects the outcome of swallowing ability to improve treatment for sarcopenic dysphagia. DESIGN A retrospective observational cohort study was performed using data from the Japanese sarcopenic dysphagia database. SETTING The database was constructed using data from 19 hospitals and one home visiting rehabilitation team. PARTICIPANTS Patients with sarcopenic dysphagia with measurements of C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum albumin (Alb) were included. MEASUREMENTS Patients were assigned to two groups using CRP, Alb, and the Japanese modified Glasgow Prognostic Score (mGPS). The Food Intake LEVEL Scale (FILS) was measured at the times of admission and follow-up (FILS follow-up) to assess swallowing function. RESULTS A total of 197 patients were included. Mean or median values of each parameter were as follows: age: 83.8±8.7, Alb: 3.2 ± 0.6 g/dL, CRP: 8.0 [3.0, 29.0] mg/L, mGPS: 1 [1-2], FILS: 7 [6-8], FILS follow-up: 8 [7-8], and duration of follow-up: 57.0 [27.0, 85.0] days. The FILS score at follow-up was significantly lower in the high CRP group (≥ 5.0 mg/L) than in the low CRP group (< 5.0 mg/L) (p = 0.01). Further, the FILS score at follow-up was significantly lower in the high mGPS group (class; 2) than in the low mGPS group (class; 0 and 1) (p = 0.03). In the multiple linear regression analyses without FILS at baseline, CRP and mGPS were independent risk factors for FILS follow-up. When FILS at baseline was entered, CRP and mGPS were not an independent risk factors for FILS follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Inflammation could modify the outcome of the patients with sarcopenic dysphagia. Inflammation may be an important risk factor in evaluating patients with sarcopenic dysphagia.

Abstract
In this study, major factors involved in regulating ethanol production from wood by the saprotrophic white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 were investigated. P. sordida YK-624 produced ethanol from wood meal culture without the addition of any nutrients, and ethanol was produced from wood culture only when the oxygen concentration in headspace was reduced to ≤5%; thereafter, ethanol production ceased within a few days. Analyses of gene expression during aerobic incubation indicated that P. sordida simultaneously upregulates the glycolytic pathway from sugar uptake to pyruvate conversion during ethanol fermentation and suppresses pyruvate influx into the TCA cycle. Upon termination of ethanol fermentation, the expression of all tested genes was repressed, and the fungus ceased to grow. In contrast, the fungus could utilize ethanol for aerobic growth. These results suggest that ethanol fermentation by P. sordida functions as a short-term stress response system under anaerobic conditions during wood decay, enabling the fungus to rapidly resume growing when oxygen is supplied (e.g., following breakdown of plant cell walls or removal of the fungus from water immersion). This is the first report to describe the physiologic significance of ethanol fermentation in saprotrophic white-rot fungi.

Abstract
Using data samples of 89.5 and 711 fb^{-1} recorded at energies of sqrt[s]=10.52 and 10.58 GeV, respectively, with the Belle detector at the KEKB e^{+}e^{-} collider, we report measurements of branching fractions of semileptonic decays Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}ℓ^{+}ν_{ℓ} (ℓ=e or μ) and the CP-asymmetry parameter of Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+} decay. The branching fractions are measured to be B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}e^{+}ν_{e})=(1.31±0.04±0.07±0.38)% and B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}μ^{+}ν_{μ})=(1.27±0.06±0.10±0.37)%, and the decay parameter α_{Ξπ} is measured to be 0.63±0.03±0.01 with much improved precision compared with the current world average. The corresponding ratio B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}e^{+}ν_{e})/B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}μ^{+}ν_{μ}) is 1.03±0.05±0.07, which is consistent with the expectation of lepton flavor universality. The first measured asymmetry parameter A_{CP}=(α_{Ξ^{-}π^{+}}+α_{Ξ[over ¯]^{+}π^{-}})/(α_{Ξ^{-}π^{+}}-α_{Ξ[over ¯]^{+}π^{-}})=0.024±0.052±0.014 is found to be consistent with zero. The first and the second uncertainties above are statistical and systematic, respectively, while the third ones arise due to the uncertainty of the Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+} branching fraction.

Abstract
Molecular subtyping in gastrointestinal stromal tumours is a useful method for predicting the efficacy of treatment using tyrosine kinase inhibitors in humans. However, owing to the paucity of reports on mutational analyses, the association between genetic mutations and the therapeutic response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors remains unclear in feline gastrointestinal stromal tumours. In this report, we describe the case of a cat with a gastrointestinal stromal tumour which was unresponsive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. A mutational analysis revealed that the cat lacked mutations in both the KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRA) genes. Our findings are consistent with the fact that KIT/PDGFRA wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumours are less responsive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors in humans. This signifies the need for further evaluation and possibly individualised treatment for gastrointestinal stromal tumours in cats on the basis of mutational analyses.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Is the cardiometabolic health of adolescents conceived through ART worse than that of their spontaneously-conceived counterparts?
Summary answer
The majority of cardiometabolic and vascular health parameters of ART-conceived adolescents are more favourable than those of their spontaneously-conceived counterparts of similar age.
What is known already
It has been proposed that ART induces epigenetic alterations during embryonic development which could lead to cardiometabolic disease later in life. However, individuals requiring ART may themselves be metabolically less healthy than the general population, which could lead to a genetically increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders in the offspring, rather than the ART procedure. The literature pertaining to cardiometabolic health of ART-conceived offspring is contradictory, but generally suggests unfavourable cardiometabolic health parameters. With over 8 million children and adults born through ART worldwide, it is imperative to investigate whether early signs of adverse cardiometabolic differences persist into adolescence and beyond.
Study design, size, duration
The Growing Up Healthy Study (GUHS) is a prospective study that recruited 303 ART-conceived adolescents, born 1991-2001 in Western Australia. Their health parameters, including cardiometabolic factors, were assessed and compared with spontaneously conceived counterparts of similar socioeconomic background and age from the Raine Study Generation 2 (Gen2). The 2868 Gen2 participants were born 1989-1992 and are representative of the Western Australian adolescent population. At age 16-17 (2013-2017), GUHS participants replicated assessments previously completed by Gen2.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Cardiometabolic parameters were compared between 165 GUHS (male = 50.9%) and 1690 Gen2 (male = 49.8%) adolescents. Assessments consisted of a detailed questionnaire; health and demographic parameters, anthropometric assessments; height, weight, body-mass index (BMI), waist circumference and skinfold thickness, fasting serum biochemistry, arterial stiffness and blood pressure assessment using applanation tonometry, assessment of non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFLD) and thickness of abdominal fat compartments using ultrasonography. Chi2, Fisher’s Exact and Mann-Whitney U tests, performed in SPSS V25, examined cohort differences.
Main results and the role of chance
GUHS adolescents appeared to be healthier from a cardiometabolic perspective than their Gen2 counterparts. They were leaner, with lower BMI (median: 21.23 vs. 22.06, P = 0.004), lower waist circumference (median: 74.10 vs. 76.75 cm, P = 0.031), and thinner skinfolds (triceps median: 12.1 vs. 14.0 mm, P = 0.019, subscapular median: 10.6 vs. 11.9 mm, P < .001, mid-abdominal median: 16.0 vs. 19.9 mm, P < 0.001, supraspinal median: 10.7 vs. 13.5 mm, P < 0.001). No significant differences were detected in the following serum fasting parameters: glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, cholesterol/HDL-ratio, triglycerides, CRP and ALT. HDL cholesterol levels were more favourable in GUHS (P < 0.001). NAFLD was present in 10.9% of GUHS vs. 15.2% of Gen2 adolescents (P = 0.174), with no difference in steatosis severity score (P = 0.309). ART offspring had less subcutaneous adipose tissue (median: 8.0 vs. 14.0 mm, P < .001), more visceral adipose tissue (median: 40.0 vs. 32.0 mm, P < 0.001), with no difference in pre-peritoneal adipose tissue (P = 0.087). Measures of arterial stiffness were lower in GUHS. Pulse wave velocity: median 6.1 vs. 6.4 m/s, P < 0.001 and heart rate corrected augmentation index: median -10.25 vs. -8.00, P = 0.006. No significant differences in blood pressure or heart rate were detected. Stratification by sex did not greatly alter the results.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Despite the substantial study size and the unique study design, we were unable to differentiate between different types of ART (e.g. IVF vs. ICSI), draw definite conclusions or relate outcomes to cause of infertility. Given the observational character of this study, causation cannot be proven.
Wider implications of the findings
In this study we did not detect any adverse effect of ART on cardiometabolic health at adolescence, in contrast to some studies. Given the lack of consensus, future well-designed and appropriately-powered studies are necessary to investigate cardiometabolic health in ART adults.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass is an organic matrix composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. In nature, lignin degradation by basidiomycetes is the key step in lignocellulose decay. The white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624 (YK-624) has been extensively studied due to its high lignin degradation ability. It was demonstrated that YK-624 can secrete lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase for lignin degradation. However, the underlying mechanism for lignin degradation by YK-624 remains unknown. Here, we analyzed YK-624 gene expression following growth under ligninolytic and nonligninolytic conditions and compared the differentially expressed genes in YK-624 to those in the model white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium by next-generation sequencing. More ligninolytic enzymes and lignin-degrading auxiliary enzymes were upregulated in YK-624. This might explain the high degradation efficiency of YK-624. In addition, the genes involved in energy metabolism pathways such as the TCA cycle, lipid metabolism, carbon metabolism and glycolysis were upregulated under ligninolytic conditions in YK-624. The first differential gene expression analysis of YK-624 under ligninolytic and nonligninolytic conditions was reported in this study. The results obtained in this study indicated that YK-624 produces more enzymes involved in lignin degradation and energy metabolism.

Abstract
We report the first evidence for X(3872) production in two-photon interactions by tagging either the electron or the positron in the final state, exploring the highly virtual photon region. The search is performed in e^{+}e^{-}→e^{+}e^{-}J/ψπ^{+}π^{-}, using 825 fb^{-1} of data collected by the Belle detector operated at the KEKB e^{+}e^{-} collider. We observe three X(3872) candidates, where the expected background is 0.11±0.10 events, with a significance of 3.2σ. We obtain an estimated value for Γ[over ˜]_{γγ}B(X(3872)→J/ψπ^{+}π^{-}) assuming the Q^{2} dependence predicted by a cc[over ¯] meson model, where -Q^{2} is the invariant mass squared of the virtual photon. No X(3915)→J/ψπ^{+}π^{-} candidates are found.

Abstract
AIM Prevention of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients with osteoporosis requires the cooperation of physicians and dentists. We investigated the knowledge, experience, and behaviour related to medical and dental cooperation for MRONJ prevention in patients with osteoporosis between physicians and dentists practising in the Shiga prefecture. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate the cooperation between practising physicians and dentists for preventing osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in patients with osteoporosis using 2 separate questionnaires from July 28, 2018, to February 3, 2019. RESULTS Of 461 dentists who were sent the questionnaires at their dental clinics, 307 (67%) responded via fax. Of 846 physicians who were sent the questionnaire at their clinics, 378 (45%) responded via fax. Of these, 268 (32%) were finally analysed because 110 (13%) physicians had never treated patients with osteoporosis; 50% dentists and 24% physicians were familiar with the MRONJ position paper in Japan, and 39% dentists and 9% physicians had encountered MRONJ in their clinical practice. A total of 30% physicians had requested oral health care by a dentist before administering bone-modifying agents (BMA) therapy. The knowledge and experience of MRONJ differed between physicians and dentists. CONCLUSION The behaviour of physicians and dentists was insufficient to enable medical and dental cooperation for the prevention of MRONJ in patients with osteoporosis. The lack of cooperation between physicians and dentists during osteoporosis treatment in the Shiga prefecture in Japan is documented in this study.

Abstract
We previously identified a cytochrome P450 (CYP) derived from the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium as involved in degradation of acetamiprid, a neonicotinoid (NEO) insecticide. In the present study, we investigated biodegradation of other NEOs by P. chrysosporium, and attempted to identify the CYP enzyme responsible for NEO degradation. P. chrysosporium was able to degrade some NEOs (acetamiprid, clothianidin, imidacloprid, and thiacloprid) in nutrient-rich medium. Two CYPs in P. chrysosporium (PcCYPs), CYP5037B3 and CYP5147A3, were identified as major isozymes involved in metabolism of three neonicotinoids that have in common a chloropyridinyl moiety (acetamiprid, imidacloprid, and thiacloprid) by screening yeast that heterologously express PcCYPs. Both PcCYPs catalyzed cleavage of the chloropyridinyl moiety and side chain of the three NEOs by N-dealkylation, resulting in 6-chloro-3-pyridinemethanol and respective side chain fragments. In a culture of P. chrysosporium, 97 % and 74 % of imidacloprid and thiacloprid were modified to form degradation products, and one of these, 6-chloro-3-pyridinemethanol, was further degraded. These two PcCYPs catalyzed almost the same reaction but their substrate specificity and expression pattern are slightly different. Altogether, we found that P. chrysosporium degrades NEOs via the activity of at least two different CYP isozymes.

Abstract
The condition of muscle fiber atrophy and weakness that occurs in respiratory muscles along with systemic skeletal muscle with age is known as respiratory sarcopenia. The Japanese Working Group of Respiratory Sarcopenia of the Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Nutrition narratively reviews these areas, and proposes the concept and diagnostic criteria. We have defined respiratory sarcopenia as "whole-body sarcopenia and low respiratory muscle mass followed by low respiratory muscle strength and/or low respiratory function." Respiratory sarcopenia can be caused by various factors such as aging, decreased activity, undernutrition, disease, cachexia, and iatrogenic causes. We have also created an algorithm for diagnosing respiratory sarcopenia. Respiratory function decreases with age in healthy older people, along with low respiratory muscle mass and strength. We have created a new term, "Presbypnea," meaning a decline in respiratory function with aging. Minor functional respiratory disability due to aging, such as that indicated by a modified Medical Research Council level 1 (troubled by shortness of breath when hurrying or walking straight up hill), is an indicator of presbypnea. We also define sarcopenic respiratory disability as "a disability with deteriorated respiratory function that results from respiratory sarcopenia." Sarcopenic respiratory disability is diagnosed if respiratory sarcopenia is present with functional disability. Cases of respiratory sarcopenia without functional disability are diagnosed as "at risk of sarcopenic respiratory disability." Functional disability is defined as a modified Medical Research Council grade of 2 or more. Rehabilitation nutrition, treatment that combines rehabilitation and nutritional management, may be adequate to prevent and treat respiratory sarcopenia and sarcopenic respiratory disability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intracranial hemorrhage due to hyperperfusion syndrome is a severe carotid artery stent placement complication of extremely high-grade stenosis, causing hemodynamic insufficiency. To prevent hyperperfusion syndrome, we attempted intentional residual stent stenosis and implemented "gentle" carotid artery stent placement, defined as carotid artery stent placement using a closed-cell stent coupled with slight balloon predilation, without balloon postdilation. Gradual stent expansion was expected. We investigated the incidence of hyperperfusion syndrome and long-term outcomes after gentle carotid artery stent placement. MATERIALS AND METHODS We included patients who underwent carotid artery stent placement for extremely high-grade stenosis from January 2015 to March 2019. We defined extremely high-grade stenosis as carotid stenosis with conventional angiographic "slow flow" and a reduced MCA signal intensity on MRA. A reduced MCA signal intensity was defined as MCA with a relative signal intensity of <0.9 in the ipsilateral compared with the contralateral MCA. We evaluated the stent diameter, CBF on SPECT, hyperperfusion syndrome, and intracranial hemorrhage. We defined hyperperfusion syndrome as a triad of ipsilateral headache, seizure, and hemiparesis. RESULTS Twenty-eight of the 191 patients met our inclusion criteria. After carotid artery stent placement, their median minimal stent diameter was 2.9 mm, which expanded to 3.9 mm at 4 months. Neither cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome nor intracranial hemorrhage occurred. CONCLUSIONS The gentle carotid artery stent placement strategy for intentional residual stent stenosis may prevent hyperperfusion syndrome in high-risk patients. Stents spontaneously dilated in 4 months.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the associations about the mass of geniohyoid and tongue muscle and the maximum tongue pressure in patients with sarcopenic dysphagia using ultrasonography. DESIGN Cross sectional study. SETTING 5 hospitals including 3 acute and 2 rehabilitation hospitals and 1 older facility. PARTICIPANTS 36 inpatients with sarcopenic dysphagia. MEASUREMENTS Ultrasonography was performed for geniohyoid muscle and tongue. The area for geniohyoid and tongue muscles in sagittal plane and the mean brightness level (0-255) in the muscle area were calculated. Maximum tongue pressure as strength of swallowing muscle were investigated. Partial correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis adjusting for age and sex were performed. RESULTS The mean age was 81.1 ± 7.9. Men were 23. The mean BMI was 19.0 ± 4.1. The mean maximum tongue pressure was 21.3 ± 9.3 kPa. The mean cross sectional area for geniohyoid muscles was 140 ± 47 mm2. The mean brightness for geniohyoid muscle was 18.6 ± 9.0. The mean cross sectional area for tongue muscles was 1664.1 ± 386.0 mm2. The mean brightness for tongue muscles was 34.1 ± 10.6. There was a significant positive correlation between area of geniohyoid muscle and maximum tongue pressure (r = 0.38, p = 0.04). Geniohyoid muscle area was an explanatory factor for maximum tongue pressure (p = 0.012) and tongue muscle area (p = 0.031) in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS Geniohyoid muscle mass was an independent explanatory factor for maximum tongue pressure and tongue muscle mass.

Abstract
The UVA and UVB components of sunlight can produce three classes of bipyrimidine DNA photolesions [cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs), pyrimidine (6‐4) pyrimidone photoproducts (6‐4PPs) and related Dewar valence isomers (DewarPPs)]. The UVA/UVB ratio of sunlight is high in winter and low in summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Since UVB radiation produces 6‐4PPs and UVA radiation converts them into DewarPPs through photoisomerization, it is expected that there may be differences in the photoisomerization of 6‐4PPs between summer and winter, although that has never been documented. To determine that, isolated DNA was exposed to natural sunlight for 8 h in late summer and in winter, and absolute levels of the three classes of photolesions were quantified using calibrated ELISAs. It was found that sunlight produces CPDs and 6‐4PPs in DNA at a ratio of about 9:1 and converts approximately 80% of 6‐4PPs into DewarPPs within 3 h. Moreover, photoisomerization is more efficient in winter than in late summer after sunlight irradiation for the same duration, at similar solar UV doses and with the same induction level of CPDs. These results demonstrate that seasonal differences in the UVA/UVB ratio influence the efficiency of the photoisomerization of 6‐4PPs into DewarPPs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the feasibility of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy for canine aortic body tumours. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of dogs that had undergone three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy with presumptive diagnosis of aortic body tumour were reviewed for clinical characteristics, treatment modality and outcomes. RESULTS Eight dogs were diagnosed with aortic body tumour and were treated with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy. One dog had proliferation of a mass in the right atrium during treatment and died of respiratory distress. Another dog did not undergo follow-up CT to evaluate the treatment response due to the increased blood urea nitrogen values. The remaining 6 dogs were included in the case series. Radiotherapy was performed using a median dose per fraction of 7 Gy (3.3-7.14 Gy), a median of seven divided doses (7-15) and a total median dose of 49 Gy (45-50 Gy). The median number of CT scans during the follow-up period was 5 (range: 3-8 times). CT revealed acute side effects in four dogs-grade 1 effects related to the lung (n = 4) and skin (n = 2). Self-limiting or asymptomatic late side effects (grade 1 lung-related effect) were observed in three dogs. After therapy, one dog demonstrated a complete response, another demonstrated a partial response and the disease remained stable in four animals. The median follow-up period was 514.5 (235-1219) days. After three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, the aortic body tumour reduced gradually over time without regrowth in all these 6 dogs. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE In this small case series, aortic body tumours responded to three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy. Transient and self-limiting side effects of the treatments were common. Further controlled studies are required to prove the effectiveness and the safety of this intervention.

Abstract
A quantum two-level system with periodically modulated energy splitting could provide a minimal universal quantum heat machine. We present the experimental realization and the theoretical description of such a two-level system as an impurity electron spin in a silicon tunnel field-effect transistor. In the incoherent regime, the system can behave analogously to either an Otto heat engine or a refrigerator. The coherent regime could be described as a superposition of those two regimes, producing specific interference fringes in the observed source-drain current.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We have developed an endoscope-assisted single-needle technique, which is an improvement of Yamane's double-needle technique of the intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation techniques. In this surgical procedure, the IOL is manipulated in the vitreous cavity, and the IOL haptic is externalized from the eye one by one with the aid of an ophthalmic endoscope. The purpose of this study was to report the postoperative visual function and safety of this new technique. METHODS Overall, 19 consecutive eyes (16 patients; mean age, 75.1 ± 9.6 years; mean follow-up period, 5.7 months) that underwent intrascleral IOL fixation surgery with our new technique were included in the study. Manifest refraction, uncorrected/corrected visual acuity, and corneal endothelial cell density were measured before and after surgery. Tilt and decentration of IOL were analyzed using anterior segment optical coherence tomography. RESULTS The mean absolute prediction error (spherical equivalent) was 0.82 ± 0.52. The mean postoperative best-corrected visual acuity had significantly improved at the final visits (p = 0.02). No significant differences in the mean corneal endothelial cell density were observed between the first (2,232 ± 751 cells/mm2) and final (2,099 ± 649 cells/mm2) visits (p = 0.35). The mean IOL tilt was 8.1 ± 3.2°. There were no vision-threatening complications, such as retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, or IOL dislocation, during or after surgery. CONCLUSIONS The endoscope-assisted single-needle technique is a safe and effective method of intrascleral IOL fixation surgery.
