Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study compares intrapelvic pressure (IPP) during retrograde intrarenal surgery with various single-use flexible ureteroscopes (f-URS) in an artificial kidney model. METHODS We created an artificial kidney model with a pressure sensor using a bladder evacuation device. The model was completely closed and the only backflow was on the side of the ureteroscope inside the ureteral access sheath (UAS). We tested five single-use f-URSs (LithoVue, Wiscope, PU3022A, PU3033A, and AXIS) with six different types of UAS (9.5/11.5-14/16 Fr). Using the automatic irrigation system, 30 s of irrigation was performed at various pressures (40-180 mmHg) and steady-state IPP was recorded. IPP was compared between the five single-use f-URSs. IPP cutoff value was determined at 30 mmHg. The diameter of the endoscope tip and the curved and shaft parts were also measured and recorded. RESULTS The diameters of all parts were significantly different between single-use f-URSs. The maximum IPP tended to be higher in ureteroscopes with larger diameters of the proximal parts (curved part/shaft part). In LithoVue and Uscope PU3022A f-URSs, the maximum IPP did not exceed 30 mmHg when UAS ≥12/14 Fr was used. In AXIS and Wiscope f-URSs, it did not exceed the cutoff value when the UAS ≥11/13 Fr was used. In Uscope PU3033A f-URS, it did not exceed 30 mmHg when the UAS ≥10/12 Fr was used. CONCLUSIONS Maximum IPP tended to be higher in f-URSs with larger diameters of the proximal part and the appropriate size of the UAS differed between various single-use f-URSs.

Abstract
A 44-year-old man with osteogenesis imperfecta presented with left renal colic. Non-contrast computed tomography revealed a stone (10×9 mm) in the left upper ureter. Ureteroscopic lithotripsy was performed twice and stone-free status was achieved. An analysis of the stone revealed a mixed composition including calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate. Postoperatively, we administered bisphosphonates to prevent recurrence of urolithiasis, as 24-hour urine collection revealed marked hypercalciuria. Eighteen months after surgery, the urinary calcium levels had normalized, and there was no recurrence of urolithiasis. Osteogenesis imperfecta can be complicated by urolithiasis, but bisphosphonates may be useful in preventing recurrence of this disease.

Abstract
The differences in dynamic thermal changes during laser lithotripsy between various laser pulse modes are unclear. We used thermography to evaluate the temporal changes in high-temperature areas during laser activation in order to compare different laser pulse modes. An unroofed artificial kidney model was used for the experiments. The laser fired for 60 s with a laser setting of 0.4 J/60 Hz in the following four different laser pulse modes without saline irrigation: short pulse mode (SPM), long pulse mode (LPM), virtual basket mode (VBM) and Moses mode (MM). Using the first 30 s of moving images, we compared the ratio of a high-temperature area of >43 °C to the total area every 5 seconds. The dynamic changes in fluid temperatures were shown to be different between the laser pulse modes. The extent of the high-temperature areas during the laser activation was large in the LPM and MM compared with the SPM and VBM. While the high-temperature areas expanded in an anterior direction in the early laser irradiation period using the LPM, they spread in a posterior direction in the early laser activation period using the MM. Although only the temperature profile in one specific plane was investigated, these results are considered useful for preventing thermal injuries during retrograde intrarenal surgeries.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate stone retropulsion in various laser pulse modes in both Moses mode (MM) and virtual basket mode (VBM). Experiments were performed using a channel-shaped rubber rail and artificial stones. We compared short pulse mode and long pulse mode in both MM and VBM with the laser tip positioned so that it was touching and at 1 and 2 mm distances from the stone surface. Stone retropulsion was measured after the laser fired for 10 s in three different laser settings: 0.5 J/8 Hz, 0.8 J/8 Hz and 1.0 J/8 Hz. When the laser tip was touching the artificial stone, stone retropulsion in MM was significantly shorter than that in VBM in all laser settings (P < 0.01, P = 0.02 and P = 0.02, respectively). At 1-mm distance, stone retropulsion in MM was significantly shorter than that in VBM in 0.8 J/8 Hz and 1.0 J/8 Hz settings (P < 0.01 and P = 0.01, respectively). At 2-mm distance, however, there were no differences between MM and VBM in stone retropulsion in any laser settings. Stone retropulsion was not significantly different between the laser settings at 1-mm distance in MM, or when touching in VBM. In conclusion, stone retropulsion distance in MM can be shorter than that in VBM. Stone retropulsion in MM and VBM may be differently influenced by laser settings and laser tip position.

Abstract
The prevention of human error is an important task that has already been researched. Previous studies have shown that EEG signals can predict the occurrence of human errors. However, high accuracy has not yet been achieved in a single-trial analysis. This study is aimed to improve the accuracy of single-trial analysis, and propose a method for anomaly detection with auto encoder(AE). In the experiment, we conducted "Press the button(Go)" or "Do nothing(No-Go)" according to the visual stimulus and analyzed the EEG signal from -1000 ms to 0 ms when the stimulus was displayed. We prepared two types of inputs, time series data and frequency spectrum, and an AE was trained to reconstruct the inputs. We then calculated the difference between the reconstructed data and input data and predicted human error by its largeness. In the prediction using Support Vector Machine (SVM) based on the frequency spectrum, some over-fitting occurred and the average accuracy was 43 %. In the prediction using anomaly detection with frequency spectrum was 53 % and could not be classified. The time series data was 63 % which improved the accuracy. A previous study has shown frequency-dependent features such as -band activity and rhythm, as precursors of human error. However, in single-trial analysis, we obtained a higher accuracy by time series data than when by using the frequency spectrum. However, there was no noticeable difference between SVM and anomaly detection methods other than over-fitting. Therefore, in this case, the improvement in accuracy by the anomaly detection method could not be confirmed. However, the result suggests that it is more effective to use the frequency spectrum than the time series data in the single-trial analysis in the future.

Abstract
Objective To explore whether methotrexate (MTX) prevents joint destruction and improves pain-related behaviors in the acute phase of knee osteoarthritis (OA) induced by monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) in a rat model. Methods Twenty of 25 male Wistar rats (10–14 weeks old) received 3 mg MIA via intra-articular injection into their right knee and were then administered a vehicle control (n=10) or 3 mg/kg MTX orally weekly (n=10). We assessed differences in pain-related behavior, spontaneous lifting behavior, micro-computed tomography (CT), histopathology, and expression of pain- and inflammatory-related genes using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) between the two groups for 4 weeks. Five rats were used as untreated controls to assess pain- and inflammatory-related mRNA expression in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and knee joints using RT-qPCR. Results Joint destruction and mechanical hyperalgesia were observed in the vehicle group. Decreases in mechanical pain thresholds for the knee joint and calf muscles were improved after MTX administration; however, joint damage assessed by micro-CT and histopathology was not significantly inhibited by MTX administration, while upregulation levels of transient receptor potential cation channel, subfamily V, member 1 (TRPV-1) (P<0.01) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (P=0.02) mRNA in the DRG and nerve growth factor NGF mRNA (P=0.03) in the affected knee joints were significantly suppressed in the MTX group compared with the vehicle group at week 4. Conclusion Our results imply that MTX administration improves pain-related behaviors and suppresses expression of pain-related mRNAs in the DRG and knee joint; however, MTX is not expected to prevent cartilage degeneration in MIA-induced OA in rat knee.

Abstract
Cin8, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae kinesin-5, has an essential role in mitosis. In in vitro motility assays, tetrameric and dimeric Cin8 constructs showed bidirectional motility in response to ionic strength or Cin8 motor density. However, whether property-switching directionality is present in a monomeric form of Cin8 is unknown. Here we engineered monomeric Cin8 constructs with and without the Cin8-specific ∼99 residues in the loop 8 domain and examined the directionality of these constructs using an in vitro polarity-marked microtubule gliding assay within the range of the motor density or ionic strength. We found that both monomeric constructs showed only plus end-directed activity over the ranges measured, which suggested that minus end-directed motility driven by Cin8 is necessary for at least dimeric forms. Using an in vitro microtubule corkscrewing assay, we also found that monomeric Cin8 corkscrewed microtubules around their longitudinal axes with a constant left-handed pitch. Overall, our results imply that plus-end-directed and left-handed motor activity comprise the intrinsic properties of the Cin8 motor domain as with other monomeric N-kinesins.

Abstract
Centralspindlin, a complex of the MKLP1 kinesin-6 and CYK4 GAP subunits, plays key roles in metazoan cytokinesis. CYK4-binding to the long neck region of MKLP1 restricts the configuration of the two MKLP1 motor domains in the centralspindlin. However, it is unclear how the CYK4-binding modulates the interaction of MKLP1 with a microtubule. Here, we performed three-dimensional nanometry of a microbead coated with multiple MKLP1 molecules on a freely suspended microtubule. We found that beads driven by dimeric MKLP1 exhibited persistently left-handed helical trajectories around the microtubule axis, indicating torque generation. By contrast, centralspindlin, like monomeric MKLP1, showed similarly left-handed but less persistent helical movement with occasional rightward movements. Analysis of the fluctuating helical movement indicated that the MKLP1 stochastically makes off-axis motions biased towards the protofilament on the left. CYK4-binding to the neck domains in MKLP1 enables more flexible off-axis motion of centralspindlin, which would help to avoid obstacles along crowded spindle microtubules. Analysing the 3D movement of MKLP1 motors, Maruyama et al. find that dimeric C. elegans MKLP1 drives a left-handed helical motion around the microtubule with minimum protofilament switching to the right side whereas less persistent motions are driven by monomers or by heterotetramers with CYK4. These findings suggest how obstacles along crowded spindle microtubules may be avoided by CYK4 binding to MKLP1.

Abstract
External fixators are an effective treatment option for comminuted or unstable phalangeal fractures. We developed a new linked-wire type of external fixator (the Ichi-Fixator) for finger phalangeal fractures, which enables fine adjustment of the fixation under fluoroscopy guidance either in a static way or with distraction through small screws inside the fixator. This technique was designed to improve on the stability and rigidity of conventional percutaneous Kirchner wire fixation. We assessed the effectiveness of the fixator through 12 cases of open or percutaneous fixation in comminuted or unstable phalangeal fractures. All patients were examined for postoperative complications, functional recovery, pain on visual analog scale (VAS), and the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) score at the final follow-up visit. Patients could perform all routine activities with normal grip strength and a full range of hand motion without pain after treatment. This treatment, which reduces the postoperative discomfort and may allow an immediate return to work, will clearly boost patient satisfaction. Linked-wire type external fixation enhances the security of fixation, facilitates postoperative mobilization, and may allow an immediate return to work.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and mizoribine (MZR) are increasingly used as immunosuppressive agents for organ transplantation and chronic inflammation. We report a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who had an acute inflammatory syndrome triggered by preoperative immunosuppression therapy with both MMF and MZR. CASE REPORT A 41-year-old woman with IgA nephropathy was referred to our department for living donor renal transplantation. She had rheumatoid arthritis that was adequately treated with prednisolone 5 mg once a day and salazosulfapyridine 2000 mg once a day. MMF 1000 mg twice a day was started for desensitization therapy. Three days later, the patient developed arthritis in the joints of her left hand and elevated inflammatory markers. On day 7, MMF was switched to MZR 150 mg 3 times a day. However, the symptoms extended to both shoulders and the joints of the right foot; MZR was discontinued. The arthritis and inflammatory markers improved. Two months later, the patient was rechallenged with MMF followed by MZR, resulting in a similar clinical course as previously. Tacrolimus (TAC) 3 mg twice a day and everolimus (EVL) 0.5 mg twice a day were introduced as alternative immunosuppressant therapies. No arthritis occurred. ABO-compatible living donor renal transplantation was successfully performed. The patient received TAC, EVL, prednisolone, rituximab, and basiliximab, and her postoperative course was uneventful without arthritis or rejection. At 9 months postoperatively, the serum creatinine was 0.79 mg/dL. CONCLUSIONS Acute inflammatory syndrome is an extremely rare complication triggered by preoperative immunosuppression therapy. If antimetabolites cannot be used in immunologically high-risk patients, transplantation becomes very difficult. Clinicians should keep in mind this paradoxical reaction.

Abstract
The focus of this work is the change in sediment properties and chemical characteristics that occur after land reclamation projects. The results indicate a higher sedimentation rate in Lake Hachirogata after reclamation, with the rate increasing with proximity to the agricultural zone. In the west-side water samples, higher levels of dissolved total nitrogen and dissolved total phosphorus (DTP) were found in both surface and bottom waters. The increase in P (39-80%) was generally greater than that for N (12-16%), regarding the nutrient supply from reclaimed farmland in the western part of the lake. In the eastern part of the lake, the pore-water Cl- profile showed a decreasing vertical gradient in the sediment core. This indicates desalination of the lake water after construction of a sluice gate in 1961. In the western sediment-core sample, a uniform Cl- profile indicates the mixing of lake water and pore water after reclamation. Considering the sedimentation of P in the last 100 years, there is a trend of increasing accumulation of P and P-activities after the reclamation project. This appears to be an impact from change in the lake environment as a result of increased agricultural nutrients, desalination, and residence. A large amount of mobile phosphorus (42-72% of TP in the western core sample) trapped in sediment increases the risk of phosphorus release and intensification of algal blooms. High sediment phosphorus and phosphorus mobility should be considered a source of pollution in the coastal environment.

Abstract
Effects of physical and morphometric factors on nutrient removal properties were studied in small agricultural ponds with different depths, volumes, and residence times in western Japan. Average residence time was estimated to be >15 days, and it tended to decrease from summer to winter because of the increase in water withdrawal for agricultural activity. Water temperature was clearly different between the surface and bottom layers; this indicates that thermal stratification occurred in summer. Chlorophyll-a was significantly high (>20 μg/L) in the surface layer (<0.5 m) and influenced by the thermal stratification. Removal ratios of dissolved total nitrogen (DTN) and dissolved total phosphorus in the ponds were estimated to be 53-98% and 39-98% in August and 10-92% and 36-57% in December, respectively. Residence time of the ponds was longer in August than in December, and DTN removal, in particular, was more significant in ponds with longer residence time. Our results suggest residence time is an important factor for nitrogen removal in small agricultural ponds as well as large lakes.

Abstract
As the effects of supplementary oxygen on urinary excretion of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) are poorly understood, urinary 8-OHdG levels (ng/mg creatinine) were determined longitudinally on the postnatal day (PND) 1, 3, and 30 in 16 neonates with birth weight < 1000 g. No supplementary oxygen was required in 9 neonates during the first 24 h of life. Urinary 8-OHdG level on PND 1 was inversely correlated with birth weight in these 9 neonates (P = 0.0323) and was higher in four with birth weight < 750 g than five with birth weight > 750 g (41.0 ± 6.9 vs. 5.6 ± 2.7, respectively, P = 0.0200). Median urinary 8-OHdG on PND 1 of these 9 neonates was significantly lower than that of 7 neonates with oxygen (9.3 vs. 60.2, respectively), although there were no significant differences in clinical background, such as birth weight, between the two groups. Five of the 9 did not require supplemental oxygen at all during the first 30 days of life. Median urinary 8-OHdG levels were consistently significantly lower in the 5 neonates than in 11 neonates with oxygen transiently or persistently (9.3 vs. 54.6, 19.1 vs. 61.4, and 28.3 vs. 145 on PND 1, 3, and 30, respectively), although there were no differences in clinical background, such as birth weight, between the two groups. Urinary 8-OHdG on PND 30 was significantly positively correlated with supplemental oxygen dose on PND 30 (P < 0.0001), but not with birth weight in the 16 neonates. These results suggest that higher supplemental oxygen tension caused higher urinary 8-OHdG in this population.

Abstract
Abstract
The electronic structure of nitrogen atoms as impurities in an ionic TiO2 crystal has been investigated by analyzing electric field gradients (EFGs) measured by use of short-lived β-emitting 12N implant-ed following nuclear reactions. Conventional β-NMR and its modification, suitable for the detection of quadrupole effects in the NMR spectra, were used for the investigation of hyperfine interactions of 12N located in substitutional sites of O atoms and interstitial sites in the crystal. In order to deduce absolute values of the EFGs from the obtained eqQ/h, the quadrupole moment of 12N has been determined from the NMR detection of 12N implanted in BN(hexagonal) crystal. Here the EFG at the N atom in BN was measured by detecting the FT-NMR of 14N in the crystal. The EFGs in TiO2 are compared with the theoretical predictions based on the ab initio band-structure calculation in the framework of the KKR method.

Abstract
Background: Narrowed true lumen and patent false lumen through to the terminal aorta is a high-risk condition for malperfusion syndromes (MS) in acute type-A aortic dissection. It is important to ascertain how the true and false lumens behave after surgery. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively investigated 45 patients with this pathology. The true lumen sizes at the narrowest levels above and below the superior mesenteric artery were followed by computed tomography after surgery (0-36 months). Results: Thirty-seven MS were seen in 23 patients. Hospital mortality was 8.9%. The narrowed true lumen was not enlarged in the first 6 months with a patent false lumen. The elephant trunk procedure did not improve the true lumen size. An extremely narrowed (≤3mm) true lumen was associated with a significantly high incidence of MS and mortality. Conclusions: High incidences of MS were observed in this particular pathology. An extremely narrowed true lumen was accompanied by a high incidence of MS and mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Social anxiety disorder is believed to be a stress-induced disease. Although it can be inferred from the symptoms during attacks that there exists some abnormality of autonomic nervous system in any of the stress systems in social anxiety disorder, little evidence has been reported. This study focused on comparing the reactivity of 2 stress systems, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in patients with social anxiety disorder. METHODS 32 patients with the generalized type of social anxiety disorder were compared with 80 age- and gender-matched controls. We collected saliva samples from patients and controls before and after electrical stimulation to measure the concentrations of salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) and salivary cortisol. Profile of Mood State (POMS) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) were also determined following stimulation. RESULTS SAA in patients displayed a significantly higher level at baseline and a significantly larger response to electrical stimulation as compared to controls, whereas no group differences were seen in any HRV. Neither within-subject nor group differences were seen in salivary cortisol levels. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that SAD patients displayed enhanced ANS (but not HPA axis) activity vs. healthy controls.

Abstract
We extended single molecule fluorescence imaging and time-resolved fluorometry from the green to the violet-excitation regime to find feasibility of detecting and identifying fluorescent analogs of nucleic-acid bases at the single-molecule level. Using violet excitation, we observed fluorescent spotsfrom single complexes composed of a nucleotide analogue and the Klenow fragmentof DNA polymerase I. Also, we implemented Raman imaging and spectroscopy of adenine molecules adsorbed on Ag colloidal nanoparticles to find feasibility of identifying nucleic-acid bases at the single-molecule level. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of adenine molecules showed an intermittent on-and-off behavior called blinking. The observation of blinking provides substantial evidence for detecting single adenine molecules.

Abstract
Lymphocytes are of rich in delayed rectifier K(+)-channels (Kv1.3) in their plasma membranes, and the channels play crucial roles in the lymphocyte activation and proliferation. Since chloroquine, a widely used anti-malarial drug, exerts immunosuppressive effects, it will affect the channel currents in lymphocytes. In the present study, employing the standard patch-clamp whole-cell recording technique, we examined the effects of chloroquine on the channels expressed in murine thymocytes. Published papers report that chloroquine will inhibit voltage-dependent K(+)-channel currents by plugging into the open-pore. We observed, indeed, that chloroquine suppressed the pulse-end currents of Kv1.3-channels at higher voltage steps. Surprisingly, however, we found that the drug enhanced the peak currents at both higher and lower voltage steps. Since chloroquine showed such biphasic effects on the thymocyte K(+)-channels, and since those effects were voltage dependent, we examined the effects of chloroquine on the activation and the inactivation of the channel currents. We noted that chloroquine shifted both the activation and the inactivation curves toward the hyperpolarizing potential, and that those shifts were more emphasized at lower voltage steps. We conclude that chloroquine facilitates both the activation and the inactivation of Kv1.3-channel currents in thymocytes, and that those effects are voltage dependent.

Abstract
The ratio of the yields of antiprotons to protons in pp collisions has been measured by the ALICE experiment at sqrt[s]=0.9 and 7 TeV during the initial running periods of the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement covers the transverse momentum interval 0.45<p_{t}<1.05 GeV/c and rapidity |y|<0.5. The ratio is measured to be R_{|y|<0.5}=0.957±0.006(stat)±0.014(syst) at 0.9 TeV and R_{|y|<0.5}=0.991±0.005(stat)±0.014(syst) at 7 TeV and it is independent of both rapidity and transverse momentum. The results are consistent with the conventional model of baryon-number transport and set stringent limits on any additional contributions to baryon-number transfer over very large rapidity intervals in pp collisions.

Abstract
Abstract
Previous studies in this laboratory revealed that dihydrohonokiol-B (DHH-B; 3′-(2 propenyl)-5-propyl-(1,1′-biphenyl)-2,4′-diol), a partially reduced derivative of honokiol, was an effective anxiolytic-like agent in mice at an oral dose of 0.04 mg kg−1, and at higher doses, when evaluated by the elevated plus-maze test. The aim of this study was to further confirm the anxiolytic-like effect of DHH-B using an additional behavioural procedure (Vogel's conflict test in mice) and a biochemical assessment (in-vitro determination of muscimol-stimulated 36Cl− uptake into mouse cortical synaptoneurosomes). As in earlier experiments, DHH-B (0.04–1 mg kg−1, p.o.) was shown to prolong the time spent in the open-sided arms of the elevated plus-maze in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, in the Vogel's conflict test, DHH-B (5 mg kg−1, p.o.) significantly increased punished water intake. In tests with mouse cerebral cortical synaptoneurosomes, 10 and 30 μm of DHH-B significantly increased 36Cl− influx in the absence of muscimol. In the presence of 25 μm muscimol, the addition of 1 μm DHH-B led to significant enhancement of 36Cl− uptake, while 30 μm DHH-B was required to further stimulate the 36Cl− uptake induced by 250 μm muscimol. The results of these studies confirm that DHH-B is a potent anxiolytic-like agent and that GABAA receptor-gated Cl−-channel complex is involved in the anxiolytic-like efficacy of DHH-B.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has a poor prognosis, despite intensive management. The prognosis of CDH is correlated with hypoplastic lung, but it is difficult to measure the degree of hypoplasia. The aims of this study were, therefore, to examine the relationship between chest X-ray and prognosis, and to assess whether the radiographic findings were a good indicator of hypoplastic lungs in patients with CDH. STUDY DESIGN Fifty neonates with CDH were classified radiographically into apex and hilar types. To assess the differences in clinical course between these two groups, gestational age, birth weight, prenatal diagnosis, survival rate, requirement of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) therapy and lung area on X-rays were analyzed. RESULTS In all, 32 cases were of the apex type and 18 were hilar. The survival rate of the hilar group (33%) was significantly worse than that of the apex group (81%) (P<0.001). The hilar group required ECMO therapy more frequently than did the apex group. CONCLUSIONS The present results show a significant correlation between survival rate and the findings of chest X-rays in CDH. Radiographic findings are thus a good clinical indicator of the prognosis of CDH in neonates.
