Abstract
Background Despite the low number of lung transplantations (LTs) in Japan, 10 LT facilities are accredited and good outcomes have been reported. A database review was conducted to clarify the impact of case volume at LT facilities in Japan on short- and long-term outcomes. Methods All cadaveric LT cases treated between 2000 and 2021 in Japan were analyzed using the database of the Japanese Society of Lung and Heart-Lung Transplantation (JSLHT). The nine institutions represented were categorized into the low-volume (LV; <80 cumulative LT cases, <8 LTs/year, n=5) and high-volume (HV; ≥80 cumulative LT cases, ≥8 LTs/year, n=4) centers. Ninety-day and 1-year mortality, as well as 5- and 10-year survival data were evaluated. Results A total of 658 cadaveric LTs were performed at the nine institutions. The 90-day rates of mortality at the HV and LV centers were 3.5% and 3.9%, respectively (P=0.801), while the 1-year mortality rates were 9.2% and 11.5%, respectively (P=0.199). Additionally, log-rank analysis of Kaplan-Meier curves showing case volume did not reveal a significant difference in long-term survival between the HV and LV centers (P=0.272), though the LV centers had wide differences for long-term outcomes (P=0.030). Conclusions Case volume did not have effects on short- or long-term outcomes following LT in Japan, while there were large variations in long-term outcomes among the LV centers compared to those of the HV centers.

Abstract
Owing to the extremely short supply of donor lungs in Japan, a unique medical consultant (MC) system was initiated in 2002 to increase the organ availability through intensive management of donors. First, heart transplant surgeons were sent to procurement hospitals as MCs to assess donor organ function and provide intensive care to donors. MCs requested that donor attending doctors perform frequent phlegm aspiration with a bronchoscope, leading to a higher lung availability and better outcomes after lung transplantation. Since 2011, 25 lung transplant surgeons have been registered as lung MCs to assess and manage donor lungs and communicate donor lung conditions to the lung transplantation teams. In 2014, the efficacy of this MC system on lung transplantation opportunities and outcomes was retrospectively reviewed. One hundred and eighty-seven brain-dead lung donor candidates were chronologically divided into three phases: I (May 1998 to November 2006, n=44) and II (December 2006 to January 2011, n=64), before and after MCs requested that local attending doctors perform aggressive bronchial suctioning using a bronchoscope, respectively; and III (February 2011 to January 2013, n=79), after the emergence of lung MCs. The lung utilization rates in phases I, II, and III were 61.4%, 71.9%, and 74.7% (per donor); 51.1%, 64.8%, and 67.7% (per lung, P=0.03). Graft death rates due to primary graft dysfunction in phases I, II, and III were 13.3%, 3.6%, and 3.7%, respectively (per lung, P=0.04). Recently, we analyzed the utilization rate of 63 brain-dead lung donor candidates for a period of one year, from June 2020 to May 2021, which was 83% (per donor). The lung MC system is effective in maintaining an extremely high lung utilization rate and favorable outcomes after lung transplantation in Japan.

Abstract
We present a fluorescence-detection system for laser-cooled 9Be+ ions based on silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) operated at 4 K and integrated into our cryogenic 1.9 T multi-Penning-trap system. Our approach enables fluorescence detection in a hermetically sealed cryogenic Penning-trap chamber with limited optical access, where state-of-the-art detection using a telescope and photomultipliers at room temperature would be extremely difficult. We characterize the properties of the SiPM in a cryocooler at 4 K, where we measure a dark count rate below 1 s-1 and a detection efficiency of 2.5(3)%. We further discuss the design of our cryogenic fluorescence-detection trap and analyze the performance of our detection system by fluorescence spectroscopy of 9Be+ ion clouds during several runs of our sympathetic laser-cooling experiment.

Abstract
Currently, the world's only source of low-energy antiprotons is the AD/ELENA facility located at CERN. To date, all precision measurements on single antiprotons have been conducted at this facility and provide stringent tests of fundamental interactions and their symmetries. However, magnetic field fluctuations from the facility operation limit the precision of upcoming measurements. To overcome this limitation, we have designed the transportable antiproton trap system BASE-STEP to relocate antiprotons to laboratories with a calm magnetic environment. We anticipate that the transportable antiproton trap will facilitate enhanced tests of charge, parity, and time-reversal invariance with antiprotons and provide new experimental possibilities of using transported antiprotons and other accelerator-produced exotic ions. We present here the technical design of the transportable trap system. This includes the transportable superconducting magnet, the cryogenic inlay consisting of the trap stack and detection systems, and the differential pumping section to suppress the residual gas flow into the cryogenic trap chamber.

Abstract
PURPOSE To clarify the impact of donor and recipient characteristics on the survival of recipients before and after lung transplantation in the Japanese population. METHODS Patients' data were collected for retrospective analysis from all authorized lung transplant centers in Japan. We included 1963 patients listed for lung transplantation by the end of December 2021, comprised of 658 deceased-donor and 270 living-donor lung transplants. RESULTS Primary disease had a significant impact on the mortality of patients waiting for transplantation. The indications for transplant significantly affected the post-transplant survival rate of deceased-donor lung transplant recipients. The recipient's age also significantly affected the post-transplant survival rate of the deceased-donor and living-donor lung transplant recipients. The recipients of grafts transplanted from donors aged 61 years or older showed a worse post-transplant survival rate (≧60 years old). The survival rate for the combination of a female donor to a male recipient among the deceased-donor lung transplant recipients was the worst among the four combinations. CONCLUSION The donor and recipient characteristics significantly impacted the survival of recipients after lung transplantation. The underlying mechanism of the negative impact of the gender mismatch of female donor to male recipient on post-transplant survival needs to be investigated further.

Abstract
We present the design and characterization of a cryogenic window based on an ultra-thin aluminized biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate foil at T < 10 K, which can withstand a pressure difference larger than 1 bar at a leak rate <1×10-9 mbar l/s. Its thickness of ∼1.7 μm makes it transparent to various types of particles over a broad energy range. To optimize the transfer of 100 keV antiprotons through the window, we tested the degrading properties of different aluminum coated polymer foils of thicknesses between 900 and 2160 nm, concluding that 1760 nm foil decelerates antiprotons to an average energy of 5 keV. We have also explicitly studied the permeation as a function of coating thickness and temperature and have performed extensive thermal and mechanical endurance and stress tests. Our final design integrated into the experiment has an effective open surface consisting of seven holes with a diameter of 1 mm and will transmit up to 2.5% of the injected 100 keV antiproton beam delivered by the Antiproton Decelerator and Extra Low ENergy Antiproton ring facility of CERN.

Abstract
The quantum vortex liquid (QVL) is an intriguing state of type-II superconductors in which intense quantum fluctuations of the superconducting (SC) order parameter destroy the Abrikosov lattice even at very low temperatures. Such a state has only rarely been observed, however, and remains poorly understood. One of the key questions is the precise origin of such intense quantum fluctuations and the role of nearby non-SC phases or quantum critical points in amplifying these effects. Here we report a high-field magnetotransport study of FeSe1-xSx and FeSe1-xTex which show a broad QVL regime both within and beyond their respective electron nematic phases. A clear correlation is found between the extent of the QVL and the strength of the superconductivity. This comparative study enables us to identify the essential elements that promote the QVL regime in unconventional superconductors and to demonstrate that the QVL regime itself is most extended wherever superconductivity is weakest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard bilateral lung transplantation (BLT) is not feasible for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) complicated with a giant pulmonary arterial aneurysm (PAA). This study aimed to describe the outcomes of BLT with pulmonary artery reconstruction (PAR) using donor aorta for such patients. METHODS This is a retrospective single-center study reviewing PAH patients with a PAA who received BLT with PAR using donor aorta from January 2010 through December 2020. We compared the characteristics and short- and long-term outcomes of recipients receiving PAR (PAR group) with those who had no PAA and received standard BLT (non-PAR group). RESULTS Nineteen adult PAH patients underwent cadaveric lung transplantation during the study period. Among them, 5 patients with a giant PAA (median pulmonary artery trunk diameter, 69.9 mm) underwent BLT with PAR using donor aorta and the others received standard BLT. Although the operation time tended to be longer in the PAR group compared with the non-PAR group (1239 vs 958 mins, p = 0.087), 90-day mortality (PAR group: 0% vs non-PAR group: 14.3%, p > 0.99) and 5-year survival rate (PAR group: 100% vs non-PAR group: 85.7%, p = 0.74) was comparable between the groups. No dilatation, constriction or infection of the aortic grafts were recorded during the study period with a median follow-up time of 94 months in PAR group. CONCLUSIONS Lung transplantation with PAR using donor aorta is a valid surgical option for PAH patients complicated with a giant PAA.

Abstract
Abstract The BASE collaboration at the antiproton decelerator/ELENA facility of CERN compares the fundamental properties of protons and antiprotons with ultra-high precision. Using advanced Penning trap systems, we have measured the proton and antiproton magnetic moments with fractional uncertainties of 300 parts in a trillion (p.p.t.) and 1.5 parts in a billion (p.p.b.), respectively. The combined measurements improve the resolution of the previous best test in that sector by more than a factor of 3000. Very recently, we have compared the antiproton/proton charge-to-mass ratios with a fractional precision of 16 p.p.t., which improved the previous best measurement by a factor of 4.3. These results allowed us also to perform a differential matter/antimatter clock comparison test to limits better than 3 %. Our measurements enable us to set limits on 22 coefficients of CPT- and Lorentz-violating standard model extensions (SME) and to search for potentially asymmetric interactions between antimatter and dark matter. In this article, we review some of the recent achievements and outline recent progress towards a planned improved measurement of the antiproton magnetic moment with an at least tenfold improved fractional accuracy.

Abstract
We report on the first proton-induced single proton- and neutron-removal reactions from the neutron-deficient ^{14}O nucleus with large Fermi-surface asymmetry S_{n}-S_{p}=18.6 MeV at ∼100 MeV/nucleon, a widely used energy regime for rare-isotope studies. The measured inclusive cross sections and parallel momentum distributions of the ^{13}N and ^{13}O residues are compared to the state-of-the-art reaction models, with nuclear structure inputs from many-body shell-model calculations. Our results provide the first quantitative contributions of multiple reaction mechanisms including the quasifree knockout, inelastic scattering, and nucleon transfer processes. It is shown that the inelastic scattering and nucleon transfer, usually neglected at such energy regime, contribute about 50% and 30% to the loosely bound proton and deeply bound neutron removal, respectively. These multiple reaction mechanisms should be considered in analyses of inclusive one-nucleon removal cross sections measured at intermediate energies for quantitative investigation of single-particle strengths and correlations in atomic nuclei.

Abstract
PURPOSE The phase angle (PhA), calculated by bioelectrical impedance analysis, is used as a nutritional risk indicator. A low preoperative PhA has been reported as a marker of postoperative complications in patients with cancer; however, the relationship between the PhA and postoperative complications in patients with lung cancer remains unknown. We conducted this study to assess the predictive ability of the preoperative PhA for postoperative complications in patients undergoing surgery for primary lung cancer. METHODS We reviewed the data on 240 patients who underwent surgery for primary lung cancer at our institution between August, 2019 and August, 2021. RESULTS The PhA value in this study was 4.7 ± 0.7°. According to the Clavien-Dindo classification, grade ≥ II postoperative complications occurred in 53 patients (22.0%). Based on the multivariate logistic analysis, only the PhA (odds ratio, 0.51, 95% confidence interval, 0.29-0.90, p = 0.018) was an independent predictor of Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ II postoperative complications. CONCLUSIONS The PhA may be a valuable marker for predicting the risk of postoperative complications following lung cancer surgery.

Abstract
Background Lung cancer frequently occurs in lungs with background idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs). Limited resection is often selected to treat lung cancer in patients with IIPs in whom respiratory function is already compromised. However, accurate surgical margins are essential for curative resection; underestimating these margins is a risk for residual lung cancer after surgery. We aimed to investigate the findings of lung fields adjacent to cancer segments affect the estimation of tumor size on computed tomography compared with the pathological specimen. Methods This analytical observational study retrospectively investigated 896 patients with lung cancer operated on at Fujita Health University from January 2015 to June 2020. The definition of underestimation was a ≥10 mm difference between the radiological and pathological maximum sizes of the tumor. Results The lung tumors were in 15 honeycomb, 30 reticulated, 207 emphysematous, and 628 normal lungs. The ratio of underestimation in honeycomb lungs was 33.3% compared to 7.4% without honeycombing (P=0.004). Multivariate analysis showed that honeycombing was a significant risk factor for tumor size underestimation. A Bland-Altman plot represented wide 95% limits of agreement, -40.8 to 70.2 mm, between the pathological and radiological maximum tumor sizes in honeycomb lungs.

Abstract
A scoping review was conducted to identify the available evidence about frailty among older Hispanics living in the U.S. using the Integral Model of Frailty. A not time-limited search was conducted in five peer-reviewed databases. Identified factors associated with frailty among older Hispanics are presented in four categories: (1) Characteristics and prevalence of frailty, (2) Life course determinants of frailty, (3) Comorbidities associated with frailty, and (4) Adverse outcomes of frailty. A total of 1030 articles were identified, and 37 articles were included in the scoping review. Most studies measured frailty based on the Fried Frailty Phenotype (59.5%, n= 22) and had a longitudinal design (64.9%, n= 24). The overall prevalence of frailty among Hispanics ranged from 4.3% to 37.1% (n= 20 studies). Further research is needed that targets Hispanics from different backgrounds in the U.S., particularly those that are high in number (i.e., Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, and Central Americans).

Abstract
Background PAS biopolymers are recombinant polypeptides comprising the small uncharged l-amino acids Pro, Ala and/or Ser which resemble the widely used poly-ethylene glycol (PEG) in terms of pronounced hydrophilicity. Likewise, their random chain behaviour in physiological solution results in a strongly expanded hydrodynamic volume. Thus, apart from their use as fusion partner for biopharmaceuticals to achieve prolonged half-life in vivo, PAS biopolymers appear attractive as substitute for PEG—or other poorly degradable chemical polymers—in many areas. As a prerequisite for the wide application of PAS biopolymers at affordable cost, we have established their highly efficient biotechnological production in Corynebacterium glutamicum serving as a well characterized bacterial host organism. Results Using the CspA signal sequence, we have secreted two representative PAS biopolymers as polypeptides with ~ 600 and ~ 1200 amino acid residues, respectively. Both PAS biopolymers were purified from the culture supernatant by means of a simple downstream process in a truly monodisperse state as evidenced by ESI–MS. Yields after purification were up to ≥ 4 g per liter culture, with potential for further increase by strain optimization as well as fermentation and bioprocess development. Beyond direct application as hydrocolloids or to exploit their rheological properties, such PAS biopolymers are suitable for site-specific chemical conjugation with pharmacologically active molecules via their unique terminal amino or carboxyl groups. To enable the specific activation of the carboxylate, without interference by the free amino group, we generated a blocked N-terminus for the PAS(1200) polypeptide simply by introducing an N-terminal Gln residue which, after processing of the signal peptide, was cyclised to a chemically inert pyroglutamyl group upon acid treatment. The fact that PAS biopolymers are genetically encoded offers further conjugation strategies via incorporation of amino acids with reactive side chains (e.g., Cys, Lys, Glu/Asp) at defined positions. Conclusions Our new PAS expression platform using Corynex® technology opens the way to applications of PASylation® technology in multiple areas such as the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics and food technology.

Abstract
Traumatic diaphragmatic injury( TDI) is rare in traumas, however TDI is associated with high mortality. We follow the notation method by The Japanese Association for The Surgery of Trauma. There are blunt trauma and penetrating trauma of TDI;blunt trauma causes mainly traffic accidents, and penetrating trauma is induced stub or gunshot. Penetrating trauma is more frequent than blunt trauma in Western countries, however there are mainly blunt traumas in Japan. The timing of diagnosis are three points;acute phase, subacute phase and delayed phase. In acute phase we often experienced unstable vital sign, so the patients of TDI need treatment immediately, however in delayed phase the patients of TDI are stable in vital signs. In order to diagnose for TDI, we use chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT), which is useful to diagnose by multi-planar reconstruction of multi-detector row CT. The ways to approach to TDI are from thoracotomy, laparotomy or both. When we repair the diaphragmatic injury, usually interrupted or horizontal mattress suture was applied with non-absorbable string. The mortality is about 8.8 to 19.8% by TDI, so we need to carefully diagnose TDI as soon as possible whether complication and abdominal viscera injury exist or not.

Abstract
We describe a newly developed polytetrafluoroethylene/copper capacitor driven by a cryogenic piezoelectric slip-stick stage and demonstrate with the chosen layout cryogenic capacitance tuning of ≈60 pF at ≈10 pF background capacitance. Connected to a highly sensitive superconducting toroidal LC circuit, we demonstrate tuning of the resonant frequency between 345 and 685 kHz, at quality factors Q > 100 000. Connected to a cryogenic ultra low noise amplifier, a frequency tuning range between 520 and 710 kHz is reached, while quality factors Q > 86 000 are achieved. This new device can be used as a versatile image current detector in high-precision Penning-trap experiments or as an LC-circuit-based haloscope detector to search for the conversion of axion-like dark matter to radio-frequency photons. This new development increases the sensitive detection bandwidth of our axion haloscope by a factor of ≈1000.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
How do the blastomeres formed by direct cleavage (dynamics of one cell dividing into three or more cells) subsequently develop?
Summary answer
About half of the blastomeres by direct cleavage did not form blastocysts.
What is known already
There are many reports that embryos with direct cleavage in the early development have a lower blastocyst development rate because direct cleavage produces chromosomal abnormal cells. However, when such embryos develop into blastocysts, there have been some reports that the transfer pregnancy rate and euploid rate did not decrease, but the reasons for this have not been clarified.
Study design, size, duration
This is a retrospective study of 89 blastocysts obtained during 2013-18. These embryos were those that patients requested to be discarded and consented to be used in this study. All target embryos were time-lapse monitored by EmbryoScope (Vitrolife, Sweden), and several trophectoderms were biopsied and examined for euploidy.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The target embryos were classified into three groups: embryos with normal first and second cleavage (NC group), embryos with irregular division (one cell dividing into three or more cells) called direct cleavage at the first cleavage (DC1 group), and embryos with direct cleavage of one blastomere at the second cleavage (DC2 group). It was recorded whether the blastomeres of the embryos subsequently developed into blastocysts or not. NGS analysis was performed on the embryos.
Main results and the role of chance
The target embryos were classified as 48 in the NC group, 32 in the DC1 group, and 9 in the DC2 group. Whether the blastomeres in the target embryos subsequently formed blastocysts or not was recorded one by one by time-lapse images, resulting in the blastomeres’ blastocyst formation rate was 95.1% in the NC group and 55.9% in the DC1 group, which was significantly lower in the DC1 group (P < 0.01). In the DC2 group, blastomeres formed by normal division and those by direct cleavage at the second cleavage were recorded separately, and the blastocyst formation rate was 90.8% for normal cleavage blastomeres and 46.0% for direct cleavage blastomeres, with significantly lower rates for direct cleavage blastomeres (P < 0.01). Therefore, about half of the blastomeres generated by direct cleavage at the first or second cleavage did not form blastocysts. The results of NGS analysis were as follows: NC group: 35.4% euploid, 45.8% aneuploid, and 18.8% mosaic; DC1 group: 37.5%, 53.1%, and 9.4%, respectively; and DC2 group: 55.6%, 33.3%, and 11.1%, respectively. There was no significant difference in any of the items, suggesting that direct cleavage does not affect the euploidy of blastocysts.
Limitations, reasons for caution
For the purpose of NGS analysis, all the target embryos in this study were blastocysts, but if all the cultured embryos were included, arrested embryos would be included, which would probably result in more blastomeres formed by direct cleavage not developing into blastocysts.
Wider implications of the findings
The blastomeres generated by direct cleavage were often excluded from blastocyst formation. This may be an exclusion of chromosomally abnormal cells and may be one of the reasons why direct cleavage decreases blastocyst development rate but does not decrease blastocyst euploid rate.

Abstract
The ASACUSA collaboration produces a beam of antihydrogen atoms by mixing pure positron and antiproton plasmas in a strong magnetic field with a double cusp geometry. The positrons cool via cyclotron radiation inside the cryogenic trap. Low positron temperature is essential for increasing the fraction of antihydrogen atoms which reach the ground state prior to exiting the trap. Many experimental groups observe that such plasmas reach equilibrium at a temperature well above the temperature of the surrounding electrodes. This problem is typically attributed to electronic noise and plasma expansion, which heat the plasma. The present work reports anomalous heating far beyond what can be attributed to those two sources. The heating seems to be a result of the axially open trap geometry, which couples the plasma to the external (300 K) environment via microwave radiation.

Abstract
In order to overcome challenges of serious short supply of donor organs, a unique partnership between transplant consultant doctors and local physicians, named medical consultant( MC) system, started in 2002 to maximize the organ utilization rate. As the first step of this system, skillfull heart transplant surgeons were sent to procurement hospitals as MCs to assess donor organ function and provide intensive care to donors. Since 2006, the MC doctors have requested the donors' attending physicians to perform aggressive bronchial suctioning using bronchoscopy, leading to an improved lung utilization rate and better graft survival. Since 2011, more than 25 lung MCs have been registered to assess donor lungs and provide advices on intensive respiratory care to donors. The effects of this system on lung transplantation opportunities and outcomes were retrospectively reviewed in 187 brain-dead lung donor candidates, which were chronologically divided into 3 phases:Ⅰ( May 1998 to November 2006, n=44) and Ⅱ( December 2006 to January 2011, n=64), before and after MCs requested local attending physicians to perform aggressive bronchial suctioning using bronchoscopy, respectively;and phase Ⅲ (February 2011 to January 2013, n=79), after the emergence of lung MCs( Hoshikawa Y, et al. Transplant Proc 47( 3):746-750, 2015). The lung utilization rates in phases Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ, were 61, 72, and 75%( per donor);51, 65, and 68% (per lung, p=0.03). Graft death due to primary graft dysfunction was significantly more frequent in phase Ⅰ (13.3%) than in phases Ⅱ (3.6%) and Ⅲ (3.7%, per lung, p=0.04). The lung utilization rate of 63 brain-dead lung donor candidates for a period of one year from June 2020 to May 2021, which was analyzed anew for this article, was 83%( per donor) and 72%( per lung). We discussed current status and tasks of the lung MC system which has been operated for 10 years.

Abstract
Background Tracheobronchial injury in children is rare but can be highly fatal in severe cases. Therefore, prompt diagnosis and treatment are required. The appropriate treatment method depends on the extent and severity of the injury. Case presentation An 8-year-old girl fell from the fifth floor and was transported to a local hospital. She had a tracheobronchial injury, went into cardiopulmonary arrest during transportation to our hospital. She was revived with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) was commenced. Subsequently, we performed tracheobronchial reconstruction by inverted Barclay’s method for tracheobronchial injury. She was switched from VA-ECMO to venovenous (VV)-ECMO 4 days postoperatively, and VV-ECMO was eventually discontinued 27 days after the surgery. The patient was awake and weaned off the ventilator on postoperative day 58. She was discharged 97 days after the surgery. Conclusions Tracheobronchial reconstruction by inverted Barclay’s method is the preferred surgical technique when other reconstruction techniques are expected to cause excessive tension on the anastomosis of the right main bronchus.

Abstract
The standard model of particle physics is both incredibly successful and glaringly incomplete. Among the questions left open is the striking imbalance of matter and antimatter in the observable universe1, which inspires experiments to compare the fundamental properties of matter/antimatter conjugates with high precision2-5. Our experiments deal with direct investigations of the fundamental properties of protons and antiprotons, performing spectroscopy in advanced cryogenic Penning trap systems6. For instance, we previously compared the proton/antiproton magnetic moments with 1.5 parts per billion fractional precision7,8, which improved upon previous best measurements9 by a factor of greater than 3,000. Here we report on a new comparison of the proton/antiproton charge-to-mass ratios with a fractional uncertainty of 16 parts per trillion. Our result is based on the combination of four independent long-term studies, recorded in a total time span of 1.5 years. We use different measurement methods and experimental set-ups incorporating different systematic effects. The final result, [Formula: see text], is consistent with the fundamental charge-parity-time reversal invariance, and improves the precision of our previous best measurement6 by a factor of 4.3. The measurement tests the standard model at an energy scale of 1.96 × 10-27 gigaelectronvolts (confidence level 0.68), and improves ten coefficients of the standard model extension10. Our cyclotron clock study also constrains hypothetical interactions mediating violations of the clock weak equivalence principle (WEPcc) for antimatter to less than 1.8 × 10-7, and enables the first differential test of the WEPcc using antiprotons11. From this interpretation we constrain the differential WEPcc-violating coefficient to less than 0.030.

Abstract
The Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state, characterized by Cooper pairs condensed at finite momentum, has been a long-sought state that remains unresolved in many classes of fermionic systems, including superconductors and ultracold atoms. A fascinating aspect of the FFLO state is the emergence of periodic nodal planes in real space, but its observation is still lacking. Here we investigate the superconducting order parameter at high magnetic fields H applied perpendicular to the ab plane in a high-purity single crystal of FeSe. The heat capacity and magnetic torque provide thermodynamic evidence for a distinct superconducting phase at the low-temperature/high-field corner of the phase diagram. Despite the bulk superconductivity, spectroscopic-imaging scanning tunneling microscopy performed on the same crystal demonstrates that the order parameter vanishes at the surface upon entering the high-field phase. These results provide the first demonstration of a pinned planar node perpendicular to H, which is consistent with a putative FFLO state.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Improving the quality of life (QoL) is one of the main purposes of catheter ablation (CA) of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). QoL improvement in persistent AF patients has not been fully clarified. The EARNEST-PVI trial was a multi-center randomized trial comparing clinical outcomes of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone and more intensive ablation in addition to PVI including complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE) and linear ablation (PVI plus).
Purpose
To investigate the QoL change after persistent AF ablation and the differences between the PVI-alone strategy and the PVI plus strategy.
Methods
In the EARNEST-PVI trial, patients with persistent AF who underwent an initial catheter ablation (n=512) were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either PVI alone or PVI plus. Quality of life was assessed at baseline and at 12 months after ablation for AF using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey. Scores were also converted to a physical health component summary (PCS), a mental health component summary (MCS) and a role/social component summary (RCS).
Results
In the EARNEST-PVI trial, the PVI alone strategy was associated with higher recurrence rate compared with the PVI plus additional ablation strategy. After excluding 68 patients for whom preoperative or postoperative QoL assessment was not available, 222 patients were evaluated respectively. Overall, significant improvements in PCS (46.2±11.4 to 48.7±11.4]), MCS (50.1±8.8 to 54.3±8.6) and RCS (44.6±13.3 to 48.6±11.3) occurred 12 months after ablation (P<0.001, respectively). Although significant QoL improvement occurred in both PVI alone and PLI plus strategies, the changes in PCS was greater in the PVI-plus than that in PVI-alone (3.5±10.3 vs 1.5±10.6, P=0.04).
Conclusions
Ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation improved both physical and mental quality of life. The PVI-plus strategy showed greater improvement in physical QoL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic respiratory disease that occurs in premature infants and the prognosis is variable depending on the comorbidities including fibrosis, emphysema, or pulmonary hypertension (PH). We present a case of a 9-year-old girl who developed PH associated with severe BPD (BPD-PH) and underwent bilateral lung transplantation (BLTx). Case description A 9-year-old girl was admitted to our department to undergo BLTx. She was born at 23 weeks and 4 days gestation with a weight of 507 g. She received ventilation for the first 2 months and required further respiratory care due to repetitive, severe respiratory infections. She was diagnosed with BPD-PH at 6 months of age and oral administration of pulmonary vasodilators were initiated. She was registered as a lung transplant candidate at 4 years of age after the life-threatening exacerbation. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed severe lung conditions with ground-glass opacities and emphysematous low-density areas in the upper and lower lobes. BLTx from a brain-dead male donor was performed. The pathological findings of her resected lung revealed saccular, hypoplastic lung with alveolar repair/regeneration, and medial hypertrophy and muscularization of peripheral arteries. The postoperative course was mostly uneventful. She was free from oxygen administration and showed no signs of PH after 6 months of the surgery. CONCLUSION This is the first case report of BLTx in a pediatric, irreversible BPD-PH patient with detailed pathohistological findings and clinical examination. Lung transplantation is one of the treatment options for severe BPD-PH.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
When does blastomere exclusion from compaction increase and what effect does it have on the embryo?
Summary answer
More blastomere were excluded from compaction in embryos with irregular cleavage, resulting in lower blastocyst development rates, but no decrease in pregnancy rates at transfer.
What is known already
It has been reported that many of the chromosome analysis results of blastomere excluded from compaction were aneuploid, and pointed out that this exclusion may be related to the repair of blastocyst euploidy, but the effect of the number of excluded blastomere has not been reported.
Study design, size, duration
This is a retrospective study of 578 embryos that developed into morula with time-lapse monitoring by EmbryoScope (Vitrolife) in 2018–2019.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The target embryos were classified into two groups: embryos with normal first and second cleavage (normal cleavage group) and embryos with irregular cleavage (dynamics of one cell dividing into three or more cells), called “direct cleavage”, at either cleavage (DC group), and the number of blastomere excluded from compaction during morula formation was recorded and compared. The blastocyst development rate and single blastocyst transfer pregnancy rates of the two groups were compared.
Main results and the role of chance
There are 286 in the normal cleavage group and 292 in the DC group. The mean number of excluded blastomere was 0.76 and 3.55, respectively, which was significantly higher in the DC group (P < 0.01). Good blastocyst (Gardner classification 4 or higher) development rate was 84.5% (239/283) and 65.8% (181/275), respectively, and high grade blastocyst (Gardner classification BB or higher) development rate was 43.9% (105/239) and 14.9% (27/181) of them, both significantly higher in the normal cleavage group (P < 0.01). The single blastocyst transfer pregnancy rates were 31.6% (25/79) and 32.4% (11/34), and the miscarriage rates were 24.0% (6/25) and 27.3% (3/11), respectively, neither was there a significant difference between the two groups. So, direct cleavage increased the number of blastomere excluded from compaction, decreased the rate of morula to good blastocyst development and reduced blastocyst grade, but did not affect blastocyst transfer pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Please note that all target embryos must have developed into morula or larger (embryos that did not develop into morula will not be included in the study).
Wider implications of the findings: Severe chromosomal aberrant blastomeres formed by direct cleavage were excluded from compaction, and the blastocyst development rate decreased due to a decrease in the amount of viable cells, but it is suggested that this blastomere exclusion mechanism is not related to euploidy after blastocyst development.

Abstract
Half-integer thermal quantum Hall conductance has recently been reported for the two-dimensional honeycomb material α-RuCl3 We found that the half-integer thermal Hall plateau appears even for a magnetic field with no out-of-plane components. The measured field-angular variation of the quantized thermal Hall conductance has the same sign structure as the topological Chern number of the pure Kitaev spin liquid. This observation suggests that the non-Abelian topological order associated with fractionalization of the local magnetic moments persists even in the presence of non-Kitaev interactions in α-RuCl3.

Abstract
Efficient cooling of trapped charged particles is essential to many fundamental physics experiments1,2, to high-precision metrology3,4 and to quantum technology5,6. Until now, sympathetic cooling has required close-range Coulomb interactions7,8, but there has been a sustained desire to bring laser-cooling techniques to particles in macroscopically separated traps5,9,10, extending quantum control techniques to previously inaccessible particles such as highly charged ions, molecular ions and antimatter. Here we demonstrate sympathetic cooling of a single proton using laser-cooled Be+ ions in spatially separated Penning traps. The traps are connected by a superconducting LC circuit that enables energy exchange over a distance of 9 cm. We also demonstrate the cooling of a resonant mode of a macroscopic LC circuit with laser-cooled ions and sympathetic cooling of an individually trapped proton, reaching temperatures far below the environmental temperature. Notably, as this technique uses only image-current interactions, it can be easily applied to an experiment with antiprotons1, facilitating improved precision in matter-antimatter comparisons11 and dark matter searches12,13.

Abstract
Unconventional superconductivity and magnetism are intertwined on a microscopic level in a wide class of materials, including high-Tccuprates, iron pnictides, and heavy-fermion compounds. Interactions between superconducting electrons and bosonic fluctuations at the interface between adjacent layers in heterostructures provide a new approach to this most fundamental and hotly debated subject. We have been able to use a recent state-of-the-art molecular-beam-epitaxy technique to fabricate superlattices consisting of different heavy-fermion compounds with atomic thickness. These Kondo superlattices provide a unique opportunity to study the mutual interaction between unconventional superconductivity and magnetic order through the atomic interface. Here, we design and fabricate hybrid Kondo superlattices consisting of alternating layers of superconducting CeCoIn5withd-wave pairing symmetry and nonmagnetic metal YbCoIn5or antiferromagnetic heavy fermion metals such as CeRhIn5and CeIn3. In these Kondo superlattices, superconducting heavy electrons are confined within the two-dimensional CeCoIn5block layers and interact with neighboring nonmagnetic or magnetic layers through the interface. Superconductivity is strongly influenced by local inversion symmetry breaking at the interface in CeCoIn5/YbCoIn5superlattices. The superconducting and antiferromagnetic states coexist in spatially separated layers in CeCoIn5/CeRhIn5and CeCoIn5/CeIn3superlattices, but their mutual coupling via the interface significantly modifies the superconducting and magnetic properties. The fabrication of a wide variety of hybrid superlattices paves a new way to study the relationship between unconventional superconductivity and magnetism in strongly correlated materials.

Abstract
Objectives: One of the serious problems after lung transplantation is chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Most CLAD patients pathologically characterized by obliterative bronchiolitis (OB). Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA4)-Ig is a combination protein of the Fc fragment of human IgG1 linked to the extracellular domain of CTLA4. The aim of the study was to examine the effect of CTLA4-Ig therapy on OB using a mouse intrapulmonary tracheal transplantation (IPTT) model. Methods: IPTT was performed between BALB/c (donor) and C57BL/6 (recipient) mice. Abatacept, which is a commercially available form of CTLA4-Ig, was intraperitoneally injected in recipient mice immediately after surgery, on days 7, 14, and 21. The mice in the control group received human IgG. Results: We performed semi-quantitative analysis of graft luminal obliteration at post-transplant day 28. We calculated the obliteration ratio of the lumen of the transplanted trachea in each case. The obliteration ratio was significantly lower in the CTLA4-Ig group than that in the control group (91.2 ± 2.1% vs. 47.8 ± 7.9%, p = 0.0008). Immunofluorescent staining revealed significantly decreased lymphoid neogenesis in the lung. Conclusions: CTLA4-Ig therapy attenuated tracheal obliteration with fibrous tissue in the mouse IPTT model. The attenuation of fibrous obliteration was correlated with the inhibition of lymphoid neogenesis.

Abstract
Background The median sternotomy approach in sleeve pneumonectomy enables diseased lung ventilation in selected cases, which may reduce the difficulty in achieving anastomosis under intubation of the left main bronchus. However, with median sternotomy, the ascending aorta requires repeated mobilization to expose the operative field for anastomosis, which can cause an aortogenic embolic stroke. Case presentation A 70-year-old Asian man presenting 6 months after developing hemoptysis was diagnosed with right upper lobe lung cancer (stage T4N0M0), invading the lower trachea and basal bronchus. Preoperative computed tomography revealed ascending aorta calcification. Right sleeve pneumonectomy was performed using median sternotomy with diseased lung ventilation. The ascending aorta was repeatedly mobilized to adequately expose the tracheobronchial bifurcation. Surgery was uneventful, but he did not recover complete consciousness even after termination of anesthesia. Mild paralysis of both upper extremities was observed. Head magnetic resonance imaging on postoperative day 1 revealed multiple small acute infarctions in the brain, possibly caused by mobilization of the aorta. He received anticoagulation therapy and rehabilitation and was discharged on postoperative day 30. Conclusion The median sternotomy approach in sleeve pneumonectomy enables diseased lung ventilation. However, the possibility of aortogenic embolic stroke should be considered when calcification of the ascending aorta is observed on preoperative computed tomography.

Abstract
The number of elderly patients with esophageal cancer has increased in recent years. The use of thoracoscopic esophagectomy has also increased, and its minimal invasiveness is believed to contribute to postoperative outcomes. However, the short- and long-term outcomes in elderly patients remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the safety and feasibility of minimally invasive esophagectomy in elderly patients. This retrospective study included 207 patients who underwent radical thoracoscopic esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma at Kobe University Hospital between 2005 and 2014. Patients were divided into non-elderly (<75 years) and elderly (≥75 years) groups. A propensity score matching analysis was performed for sex and clinical T and N stage, with a total of 29 matched pairs. General preoperative data, surgical procedures, intraoperative data, postoperative complications, in-hospital death, cancer-specific survival, and overall survival were compared between groups. The elderly group was characterized by lower preoperative serum albumin levels and higher American Society of Anesthesiologists grade. Intraoperative data and postoperative complications did not differ between the groups. The in-hospital death rate was 4% in the elderly group, which did not significantly differ from the non-elderly group. Cancer-specific survival was similar between the two groups. Although overall survival tended to be poor in the elderly group, it was not significantly worse than that of the non-elderly group. In conclusion, the short- and long-term outcomes of minimally invasive esophagectomy in elderly versus non-elderly patients were acceptable. Minimally invasive esophagectomy is a safe and feasible modality for elderly patients with appropriate indications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) with cerebrospinal fluid hypovolemia syndrome (CHS) remains refractory to standard treatment with hematoma drainage by burr hole and irrigation and/or epidural blood patch. Previously, we reported the utility of middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization for intractable CSDH. In this study, we present the usefulness of MMA embolization as a treatment for CSDHs with CHSs. CASES We present two cases of CSDHs with CHSs occurring in patients, 1 treated with burr hole craniotomy and irrigation, and the other treated with the epidural blood patch. Both patients exhibited similar-appearing bilateral relatively-thin hematomas, hyperplasia, and enhanced contrast effects in the dura mater, and extradural hygroma in the cervical portion on enhanced magnetic resonance imaging scans. Also, to reviewing prior literature and imaging findings, they had already undergone conventional treatment. We added MMA embolization treatment and they followed a good course. RESULTS Despite the known intractable outcomes of patients with CSDHs with CHSs, MMA embolization worked well in the current case series. CONCLUSION MMA embolization might be considered as a preferred therapeutic option for CSDHs with CHSs in order to buy time before the epidural blood patch starts working.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was performed to compare the outcome of lung transplantation (LT) for idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (IPPFE) with that of LT for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). METHODS We reviewed, retrospectively, all adult patients who underwent LT for IPPFE or IPF in Japan between 1998 and 2018. RESULTS There were 100 patients eligible for this study (31 with IPPFE and 69 with IPF). Patients with IPPFE tended to have a significantly lower body mass index (BMI) than those with IPF (median, 16.7 vs. 22.6 kg/m2, respectively; P < 0.01). However, Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed no significant difference in overall survival between the groups. The BMI did not increase in patients with IPPFE, even 1 year after LT (pretransplant, 16.5 ± 3.2 kg/m2 vs. 1 year post-transplant, 15.6 ± 2.5 kg/m2; P = 0.08). The percent predicted forced vital capacity (%FVC) 1 year after LT was significantly lower in the IPPFE group than in the IPF group (48.4% ± 19.5% vs. 68.6% ± 15.5%, respectively; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Despite extrapulmonary problems such as a flat chest, low BMI, and associated restrictive impairment persisting in patients with IPPFE, patient survival after LT for IPPFE or IPF was equivalent.

Abstract
Solitary fibrous tumors are typically benign and usually develop in the pleura. We herein report the first case of a solitary fibrous tumor that was pathologically malignant and developed in the left atrial endocardium. A 24-year-old woman underwent resection of a malignant solitary fibrous tumor in her right forearm at another hospital. Computed tomography demonstrated a mass in her right pleura 2 months after the surgery. She was referred to our hospital, and a tumor in her left atrium was subsequently found. She underwent resection of these tumors, and pathological examination showed that they were both malignant solitary fibrous tumors.

Abstract
Several drugs are administered to lung-transplanted patients, which are monitored using therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Therefore, we developed and validated a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method to simultaneously analyze immunosuppressive drugs such as mycophenolic acid, antifungal drugs such as voriconazole and itraconazole, and its metabolite hydroxyitraconazole. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a C18 column and gradient flow of mobile phase comprising 20 mM aqueous ammonium formate and 20 mM ammonium formate-methanol solution. A simple protein precipitation treatment was performed using acetonitrile/methanol and mycophenolic acid-2 H3 , voriconazole-2 H3 , itraconazole-2 H4 , and hydroxyitraconazole-2 H4 as internal standards. The linearity ranges of mycophenolic acid, voriconazole, itraconazole, and hydroxyitraconazole were 100-20,000, 50-10,000, 5-1000, and 5-1000 ng/mL, respectively. The retention time of each target was less than 2 min. The relative errors in intra- and inter-day were within ±7.6%, the coefficient of variation was 8.9% or less for quality control low, medium, and high, and it was 15.8% or less for lower limit of quantitation. Moreover, the patient samples were successfully quantified, and they were within the linear range of measurements. Therefore, our new method may be useful for TDM in lung-transplanted patients.

Abstract
Background There are no known predictors of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) induction for single lung transplantation. Objective The purpose of the present study was to clarify the relationship between variables and ECMO requirements in single lung transplantation. Methods This study included adult patients who underwent cadaveric single lung transplantation between 2010 and 2019. After general anesthesia, the transplanted lungs were ventilated in all cases. The analysis included 38 patients in the ECMO required (RQ) group and 12 patients in the ECMO non-required (FR) group. Comparisons were made between the two groups for data affecting ECMO implementation, and data that were significantly different were subjected to multivariate analysis. Results Prior to anesthesia, the bicarbonate (HCO3-) value of the FR group was lower than that of the RQ group (24.6±2.7 vs. 29.7±5.3 mmol/L, p=0.005). Multivariate analysis showed that the cut-off bicarbonate value was 29.6. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of the model was 0.869 (R2: 0.331), with a sensitivity of 79% and a specificity of 88%. The odds ratio was 1.63 for every unit increase in the bicarbonate value (95%CI: 1.11-2.39, p<0.001). Further, the FR group had higher arterial blood pressure (mean: 79.0±11.5 vs. 68.9±8.3 mmHg, p=0.030), less blood loss (432±385 vs. 1,623±1,997 g, p<0.001), shorter operation time (417±44 vs. 543±111 min, p<0.001), and shorter ICU stay (11±9 vs. 25±38 days, p=0.039). Conclusion Preoperative evaluation of bicarbonate could predict the need for ECMO for single lung transplantation.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Osteoporosis and atherosclerosis frequently coexist in patients with pheochromocytoma. The presence of osteoporosis may predict that of atherosclerosis and vice versa in patients with PHEO. These findings have implications for the long-term management of the pheochromocytoma and its potential chronic complications. INTRODUCTION Pheochromocytoma (PHEO), a catecholamine-producing tumor, is often found incidentally, and it may be present for years before it is diagnosed. However, long-term exposure to catecholamines excess may induce chronic complications, such as osteoporosis and atherosclerosis. We aimed to evaluate concomitant osteoporosis and atherosclerosis in patients with PHEO. METHODS Fifty-one patients with PHEO and 51 patients with a non-functional adrenal tumor were compared radiographically for the prevalence of vertebral fracture (VF), a typical osteoporotic fracture, and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC). RESULTS In patients with PHEO, the prevalence of AAC was higher in those with VF (58%) than in those without (6%, p < 0.001). AAC was associated with VF after adjusting for age and sex (odds ratio, 1.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-2.46; p = 0.003) in patients with PHEO. The degree of catecholamine excess correlated with the presence of VF and AAC (p = 0.007). The prevalence of VF was higher in patients with PHEO (37%) than those with non-functional AT (12%, p = 0.005), but the prevalence of AAC was comparable between the two groups (25% and 19%, p = 0.636). VF and AAC more frequently coexisted in patients with PHEO (22%) than in those with non-functional AT (2%, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION This study represents the first demonstration that osteoporosis and atherosclerosis frequently coexist in patients with PHEO. The presence of osteoporosis may predict that of atherosclerosis and vice versa in patients with PHEO. These findings have implications for the long-term management of the PHEO and its potential chronic complications.

Abstract
We report a thorough study of InGaN quantum wells spatially modified by varying the local misorientation of the GaN substrate prior to the epitaxial growth of the structure. More than 25 nm shift of emission wavelength was obtained, which is attributed to indium content changes in the quantum wells. Such an active region is promising for broadening of the emission spectrum of (In,Al,Ga)N superluminescent diodes. We observed that the light intensity changes with misorientation, being stable around 0.5° to 2° and decreasing above 2°. This relation can be used as a base for future device designing.

Abstract
Purpose We developed an ex vivo lung CT (EVL-CT) technique that allows us to obtain detailed CT images and morphologically assess the retrieved lung from a donor for transplantation. After we recovered the lung graft from a brain-dead donor, we transported it to our hospital and CT images were obtained ex vivo before lung transplant surgery. The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between the EVL-CT findings and post-transplant outcome in patients who underwent bilateral lung transplantation (BLT) or single lung transplantation (SLT). Methods We retrospectively reviewed the records of 70 patients with available EVL-CT data who underwent BLT (34 cases) or SLT (36 cases) in our hospital between October 2007 and September 2017. The recipients were divided into 2 groups (control group, infiltration group) according to the findings of EVL-CT of the lung graft in BLT and SLT, respectively. Recipients in the control group were transplanted lung grafts without any infiltrates (BLT control group, SLT control group). Recipients in the infiltration group received lung grafts with infiltrates (BLT infiltration group, SLT infiltration group). Results The recipients in the BLT infiltration group showed significantly slower recovery from primary graft dysfunction and a longer mechanical ventilation period and ICU stay period than those in the BLT control group. The mechanical ventilation period was significantly longer in the recipients in the SLT infiltration group than those in the SLT control group. Conclusion EVL-CT may predict the outcome of the early phase after lung transplantation.
