Abstract
We assembled an ancestrally diverse collection of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in 180,834 affected individuals and 1,159,055 controls (48.9% non-European descent) through the Diabetes Meta-Analysis of Trans-Ethnic association studies (DIAMANTE) Consortium. Multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis identified 237 loci attaining stringent genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10-9), which were delineated to 338 distinct association signals. Fine-mapping of these signals was enhanced by the increased sample size and expanded population diversity of the multi-ancestry meta-analysis, which localized 54.4% of T2D associations to a single variant with >50% posterior probability. This improved fine-mapping enabled systematic assessment of candidate causal genes and molecular mechanisms through which T2D associations are mediated, laying the foundations for functional investigations. Multi-ancestry genetic risk scores enhanced transferability of T2D prediction across diverse populations. Our study provides a step toward more effective clinical translation of T2D GWAS to improve global health for all, irrespective of genetic background.

Abstract
The emergence of the vortex beam with orbital angular momentum (OAM) has provided intriguing possibilities to induce optical transitions beyond the framework of the electric dipole interaction. The uniqueness stems from the OAM transfer from light to material, as demonstrated in electronic transitions in atomic systems. In this study, we report on the OAM transfer to electrons in solid-state systems, which has been elusive to date. Using metamaterials (periodically textured metallic disks), we show that multipolar modes of the surface electromagnetic excitations (so-called spoof localized surface plasmons) are selectively induced by the terahertz vortex beam. Our results reveal selection rules governed by the conservation of the total angular momentum, which is confirmed by numerical simulations. The efficient transfer of light's OAM to elementary excitations in solid-state systems at room temperature opens up new possibilities of OAM manipulation.

Abstract
Body-fat distribution is a risk factor for adverse cardiovascular health consequences. We analyzed the association of body-fat distribution, assessed by waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index, with 228,985 predicted coding and splice site variants available on exome arrays in up to 344,369 individuals from five major ancestries (discovery) and 132,177 European-ancestry individuals (validation). We identified 15 common (minor allele frequency, MAF ≥5%) and nine low-frequency or rare (MAF <5%) coding novel variants. Pathway/gene set enrichment analyses identified lipid particle, adiponectin, abnormal white adipose tissue physiology and bone development and morphology as important contributors to fat distribution, while cross-trait associations highlight cardiometabolic traits. In functional follow-up analyses, specifically in Drosophila RNAi-knockdowns, we observed a significant increase in the total body triglyceride levels for two genes (DNAH10 and PLXND1). We implicate novel genes in fat distribution, stressing the importance of interrogating low-frequency and protein-coding variants.

Abstract
In the version of this article originally published, one of the two authors with the name Wei Zhao was omitted from the author list and the affiliations for both authors were assigned to the single Wei Zhao in the author list. In addition, the ORCID for Wei Zhao (Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA) was incorrectly assigned to author Wei Zhou. The errors have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.

Abstract
We aggregated coding variant data for 81,412 type 2 diabetes cases and 370,832 controls of diverse ancestry, identifying 40 coding variant association signals (P < 2.2 × 10-7); of these, 16 map outside known risk-associated loci. We make two important observations. First, only five of these signals are driven by low-frequency variants: even for these, effect sizes are modest (odds ratio ≤1.29). Second, when we used large-scale genome-wide association data to fine-map the associated variants in their regional context, accounting for the global enrichment of complex trait associations in coding sequence, compelling evidence for coding variant causality was obtained for only 16 signals. At 13 others, the associated coding variants clearly represent 'false leads' with potential to generate erroneous mechanistic inference. Coding variant associations offer a direct route to biological insight for complex diseases and identification of validated therapeutic targets; however, appropriate mechanistic inference requires careful specification of their causal contribution to disease predisposition.

Abstract
Trans-ethnic meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) across diverse populations can increase power to detect complex trait loci when the underlying causal variants are shared between ancestry groups. However, heterogeneity in allelic effects between GWAS at these loci can occur that is correlated with ancestry. Here, a novel approach is presented to detect SNP association and quantify the extent of heterogeneity in allelic effects that is correlated with ancestry. We employ trans-ethnic meta-regression to model allelic effects as a function of axes of genetic variation, derived from a matrix of mean pairwise allele frequency differences between GWAS, and implemented in the MR-MEGA software. Through detailed simulations, we demonstrate increased power to detect association for MR-MEGA over fixed- and random-effects meta-analysis across a range of scenarios of heterogeneity in allelic effects between ethnic groups. We also demonstrate improved fine-mapping resolution, in loci containing a single causal variant, compared to these meta-analysis approaches and PAINTOR, and equivalent performance to MANTRA at reduced computational cost. Application of MR-MEGA to trans-ethnic GWAS of kidney function in 71,461 individuals indicates stronger signals of association than fixed-effects meta-analysis when heterogeneity in allelic effects is correlated with ancestry. Application of MR-MEGA to fine-mapping four type 2 diabetes susceptibility loci in 22,086 cases and 42,539 controls highlights: (i) strong evidence for heterogeneity in allelic effects that is correlated with ancestry only at the index SNP for the association signal at the CDKAL1 locus; and (ii) 99% credible sets with six or fewer variants for five distinct association signals.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal genes remains challenging. Here we combined data from 718,734 individuals to discover rare and low-frequency (minor allele frequency (MAF) < 5%) coding variants associated with BMI. We identified 14 coding variants in 13 genes, of which 8 variants were in genes (ZBTB7B, ACHE, RAPGEF3, RAB21, ZFHX3, ENTPD6, ZFR2 and ZNF169) newly implicated in human obesity, 2 variants were in genes (MC4R and KSR2) previously observed to be mutated in extreme obesity and 2 variants were in GIPR. The effect sizes of rare variants are ~10 times larger than those of common variants, with the largest effect observed in carriers of an MC4R mutation introducing a stop codon (p.Tyr35Ter, MAF = 0.01%), who weighed ~7 kg more than non-carriers. Pathway analyses based on the variants associated with BMI confirm enrichment of neuronal genes and provide new evidence for adipocyte and energy expenditure biology, widening the potential of genetically supported therapeutic targets in obesity.

Abstract
Background: Observational studies have demonstrated that increased bone mineral density is associated with a higher risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the relationship with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) is less clear. Moreover, substantial uncertainty remains about the causal relevance of increased bone mineral density for T2D and CHD, which can be assessed by Mendelian randomisation studies. Methods: We identified 235 independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated at p<5×10 -8 with estimated heel bone mineral density (eBMD) in 116,501 individuals from the UK Biobank study, accounting for 13.9% of eBMD variance. For each eBMD-associated SNP, we extracted effect estimates from the largest available GWAS studies for T2D (DIAGRAM: n=26,676 T2D cases and 132,532 controls) and CHD (CARDIoGRAMplusC4D: n=60,801 CHD cases and 123,504 controls). A two-sample design using several Mendelian randomization approaches was used to investigate the causal relevance of eBMD for risk of T2D and CHD. In addition, we explored the relationship of eBMD, instrumented by the 235 SNPs, on 12 cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors. Finally, we conducted Mendelian randomization analysis in the reverse direction to investigate reverse causality. Results: Each one standard deviation increase in genetically instrumented eBMD (equivalent to 0.14 g/cm 2) was associated with an 8% higher risk of T2D (odds ratio [OR] 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02 to 1.14; p=0.012) and 5% higher risk of CHD (OR 1.05; 95%CI: 1.00 to 1.10; p=0.034). Consistent results were obtained in sensitivity analyses using several different Mendelian randomization approaches. Equivalent increases in eBMD were also associated with lower plasma levels of HDL-cholesterol and increased insulin resistance. Mendelian randomization in the reverse direction using 94 T2D SNPs or 52 CHD SNPs showed no evidence of reverse causality with eBMD. Conclusions: These findings suggest a causal relationship between elevated bone mineral density with risks of both T2D and CHD.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the pressure drop in the pharyngeal airway space (ΔPPAS) and the minimum cross-sectional area (minCSA) of the pharyngeal airway before and after mandibular setback surgery using computational fluid dynamics, in order to prevent iatrogenic obstructive sleep apnoea. Eleven patients with mandibular prognathism underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for mandibular setback. Three-dimensional models of the upper airway were reconstructed from preoperative and postoperative computed tomography images, and simulations were performed using computational fluid dynamics. ΔPPAS and the minCSA of the pharyngeal airway were calculated, and the relationship between them was evaluated by non-linear regression analysis. In all cases, the minCSA was found at the level of the velopharynx. After surgery, ΔPPAS increased significantly and the minCSA decreased significantly. The non-linear regression equation expressing the relationship between these variables was ΔPPAS=3.73×minCSA-2.06. When the minCSA was <1cm2, ΔPPAS increased greatly. The results of this study suggest that surgeons should consider bimaxillary orthognathic surgery rather than mandibular setback surgery to prevent the development of iatrogenic obstructive sleep apnoea when correcting a skeletal class III malocclusion.

Abstract
Height is a highly heritable, classic polygenic trait with approximately 700 common associated variants identified through genome-wide association studies so far. Here, we report 83 height-associated coding variants with lower minor-allele frequencies (in the range of 0.1-4.8%) and effects of up to 2 centimetres per allele (such as those in IHH, STC2, AR and CRISPLD2), greater than ten times the average effect of common variants. In functional follow-up studies, rare height-increasing alleles of STC2 (giving an increase of 1-2 centimetres per allele) compromised proteolytic inhibition of PAPP-A and increased cleavage of IGFBP-4 in vitro, resulting in higher bioavailability of insulin-like growth factors. These 83 height-associated variants overlap genes that are mutated in monogenic growth disorders and highlight new biological candidates (such as ADAMTS3, IL11RA and NOX4) and pathways (such as proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan synthesis) involved in growth. Our results demonstrate that sufficiently large sample sizes can uncover rare and low-frequency variants of moderate-to-large effect associated with polygenic human phenotypes, and that these variants implicate relevant genes and pathways.

Abstract
Cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema is a rare complication of dental procedures. Although most cases of emphysema occur incidentally with the use of a high-speed air turbine handpiece, there have been some reports over the past decade of cases caused by dental laser treatment. Emphysema as a complication caused by the air cooling spray of a dental laser is not well known, even though dental lasers utilize compressed air just as air turbines and syringes do. In this study, we comprehensively reviewed cases of emphysema attributed to dental laser treatment that appeared in the literature between January 2001 and September 2012, and we included three such cases referred to us. Among 13 cases identified in total, nine had cervicofacial subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema. Compared with past reviews, the incidence of mediastinal emphysema caused by dental laser treatment was higher than emphysema caused by dental procedure without dental laser use. Eight patients underwent CO2 laser treatment and two underwent Er:YAG laser treatment. Nine patients had emphysema following laser irradiation for soft tissue incision. Dentists and oral surgeons should be cognizant of the potential risk for iatrogenic emphysema caused by the air cooling spray during dental laser treatment and ensure proper usage of lasers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Given that a family history is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease, genetic variants are thought to contribute directly to the development of this condition. The identification of susceptibility genes for coronary artery disease or MI may thus help to identify high-risk individuals and offer the opportunity for disease prevention. METHODS AND RESULTS We designed a 5-step protocol, consisting of a genome-wide linkage study followed by association analysis, to identify novel genetic variants that confer susceptibility to coronary artery disease or MI. A genome-wide affected sib-pair linkage study with 221 Japanese families with coronary artery disease yielded a statistically significant logarithm of the odds score of 3.44 for chromosome 2p13 and MI. Further association analysis implicated Alström syndrome 1 gene (ALMS1) as a candidate gene within the linkage region. Validation association analysis revealed that representative single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the ALMS1 promoter region were significantly associated with early-onset MI in both Japanese and Korean populations. Moreover, direct sequencing of the ALMS1 coding region identified a glutamic acid repeat polymorphism in exon 1, which was subsequently found to be associated with early-onset MI. CONCLUSIONS The glutamic acid repeat polymorphism of ALMS1 identified in the present study may provide insight into the pathogenesis of early-onset MI.

Abstract
Two typical flow instabilities of “Shark Skin” and “Melt Fracture” for high density polyethylene were investigated in this report. Experimental measurements were carried out methodically in a wide flow region from the reservoir (entry region) to the die land with a specific slit die. Especially the flow pattern was visualized with a high speed camera and the frequency of the flow instability was analyzed. Corresponding to the visualization analysis, the pressure fluctuation in the slit die and the surface roughness at the die exit were measured simultaneously and these frequency characteristics were analyzed with a FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) analyzer. As for “Shark Skin” region, the irregularity of the surface roughness in the broad frequency band was recognized at the die exit. In spite of this surface roughness, the pressure fluctuation and the fluctuation of the flow pattern at the wall vicinity in the die land were not observed. These results indicate that “Shark Skin” occurs at the die exit. As for “Melt Fracture” region, the periodical oscillation of the flow pattern and the periodical pressure fluctuation which corresponded to the periodical distortion of the extrudate was recognized in the die land. However the periodical oscillation of the flow pattern and the periodical pressure fluctuation could not be recognized in the reservoir (entry region of the die land). These results indicate that “Melt Fracture” is initiated at the die entry and occurs in the die land. Consequently it is clarified that “Shark Skin” occurs at the die exit and the flow instability which lead to “Melt Fracture” is initiated at the die entry and occurs in the die land.

Abstract
The genes that encode the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I and II molecules are highly polymorphic and located in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region, where there is a high density of immune-related genes. Numerous studies have identified disease susceptibility in this region; however, interpretation of the results is complicated because of the strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) among HLA alleles and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In this study, we evaluated the correlation between the HLA alleles of 6 loci (HLA-A, C, B, DRB1, DQB1 and DPB1) and 6502 SNPs within 8 Mb of the extended MHC region using 92 Japanese subjects to identify SNP single loci or haplotypes that tag HLA alleles. We found a total of 39 HLA alleles that showed strong LD (r(2)≥0.8) with SNPs, including 11 non-synonymous SNPs in non-HLA genes. In addition, we identified several SNP haplotypes in strong LD (r(2)≥0.8) with eight HLA alleles, which do not possess tag SNPs. Our detailed list of tag SNPs and haplotypes could be utilized for a better understanding of the results obtained by association studies in the Japanese population and for the characterization of the differences in LD structures between races.

Abstract
A new understanding of the genetic basis of coronary artery disease (CAD) has recently emerged from genome-wide association (GWA) studies of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), thus far performed mostly in European-descent populations. To identify novel susceptibility gene variants for CAD and confirm those previously identified mostly in populations of European descent, a multistage GWA study was performed in the Japanese. In the discovery phase, we first genotyped 806 cases and 1337 controls with 451 382 SNP markers and subsequently assessed 34 selected SNPs with direct genotyping (541 additional cases) and in silico comparison (964 healthy controls). In the replication phase, involving 3052 cases and 6335 controls, 12 SNPs were tested; CAD association was replicated and/or verified for 4 (of 12) SNPs from 3 loci: near BRAP and ALDH2 on 12q24 (P=1.6 × 10(-34)), HLA-DQB1 on 6p21 (P=4.7 × 10(-7)), and CDKN2A/B on 9p21 (P=6.1 × 10(-16)). On 12q24, we identified the strongest association signal with the strength of association substantially pronounced for a subgroup of myocardial infarction cases (P=1.4 × 10(-40)). On 6p21, an HLA allele, DQB1(*)0604, could show one of the most prominent association signals in an ∼8-Mb interval that encompasses the LTA gene, where an association with myocardial infarction had been reported in another Japanese study. CAD association was also identified at CDKN2A/B, as previously reported in different populations of European descent and Asians. Thus, three loci confirmed in the Japanese GWA study highlight the likely presence of risk alleles with two types of genetic effects - population specific and common - on susceptibility to CAD.

Abstract
Photoetching of CdTe nanocrystals was applied to thiol-capped CdTe quantum dots (QDs) to control their fluorescence wavelength. CdTe QDs with a high quantum yield (49%) were synthesized in aqueous solution, and they were successfully photoetched in strong alkaline (pH = 13.5) conditions. When monochromatic light was used, size-selective photoetching could be conducted; the photoetching proceeded until the band gap energy of the CdTe QDs increased to the energy corresponding to the wavelength of the irradiating light. As a result, a good linear relationship was obtained between the wavelength of the irradiating light and that of the fluorescence peak. The resulting CdTe QDs exhibited a fluorescence peak with an FWHM value as small as 23.5 nm, indicating preparation of highly monodispersed nanocrystals. The high quantum yield (ca. 45%) was maintained after the photoetching. Very fine tuning of the fluorescence wavelength with 2 nm resolution was achieved by changing the wavelength of the irradiating light by 2 nm. Theoretical calculation of the quantum size effects (effective mass approximation) predicts that a difference in the band gap fluorescence wavelength of 2 nm corresponds to a change in particle diameter of ca. 0.02 nm.

Abstract
Acute basilar artery (BA) occlusion is typically associated with poor outcome; however newer diagnostic and treatment modalities have the potential to improve prognosis. In this study, six patients with acute BA occlusion were followed and the effectiveness of local intra-arterial fibrinolysis (LIF) and subsequent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with a balloon catheter were assessed. Of the six patients with BA occlusion observed in this study, two had extended brain stem infarction on diffusion weighted image (DWI) and were treated conservatively. The other four patients received LIF at an average of 5.2 hours from occlusion onset. Three of these four patients received additional PTA with compliant balloon catheters. All four of the patients who received LIF achieved recanalization of the BA trunk and showed a favorable clinical outcome. These findings suggest that LIF is beneficial for selected patients with BA occlusion and that successful recanalization is indicative of a good prognosis. Because of the poor prognosis associated with conservative therapy, we conclude that LIF should be attempted even for comatose patients or in cases of prolonged occlusion time.

Abstract
Inserting a guiding catheter into a tortuous artery for neurointerventional procedures can be difficult. In our technique, the carotid artery is manually compressed to stabilize and/or straighten the inserted wire before advancing the guiding catheter. Although this technique is not risk-free and care must be taken to avoid vascular injury by excessive compression, it is useful for the insertion of a guiding catheter into the carotid artery.

Abstract
The effect of gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA)-enriched soybean on blood pressure was investigated in male spontaneously hypertensive rats. Ten-week-old rats were given diets containing graded levels of GABA-enriched soybean powder for 8 weeks. The systolic blood pressure in rats fed 0.15% GABA diet was significantly lower at 1st week and maintained lower values for 4 weeks as compared with 0% GABA controls. No effect on blood pressure was found in those of 0.03 and 0.3% GABA. The results suggest that there exist appropriate dietary GABA level to get the blood pressure lowering effect.

Abstract
The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the diagnostic efficacy of CMV DNA detection by capillary PCR in patients with interstitial pneumonia. Of 882 samples taken from 363 patients, 317 were obtained from sputum, 94 from BAL fluid, 291 from blood and 180 from urine. PCR for CMV was positive in 58 samples (6.6%), with positive detection for 6.9% of sputum, 10.6% of BAL fluid, 4.1% of blood and 7.8% of urine samples. CMV pneumonia was diagnosed retrospectively in 34 (9.4%) of the 363 patients by demonstration of CMV antigen-positive cytomegalic inclusion bodies in lung tissue sections. The positive and negative predictive values were 100% (10/10) and 98.8% (83/84) for the BAL fluid samples and 95.5% (21/22) and 99.7% (294/295) for the sputum samples, respectively. Clinical sensitivity and specificity were 90.9% (10/11) and 100% (83/83) for the BAL fluid samples and 95.5% (21/22) and 99.7% (294/295) for the sputum samples, respectively. However, the blood and urine samples showed poor clinical sensitivity and low positive predictive values. We suggest that the use of capillary PCR for BAL fluid and sputum samples is very useful for diagnosing CMV pneumonia in patients with interstitial pneumonia in whom CMV pneumonia is suspected.

Abstract
We report an unusual case of T-cell lymphoma presenting as ascites. A 72-year-old HIV-negative woman was admitted to our hospital for abdominal discomfort associated with increasing abdominal girth over the course of 1 month. Physical examination showed a tense and distended abdomen and edema of the lower extremities. There was no hepatosplenomegaly or lymphadenopathy. A computed tomographic scan of the abdomen and chest showed massive ascites and pleural effusions, but there was no evidence of tumor masses or lymph node enlargement. The cytospin prepared from the peritoneal fluid was hypercellular and composed of a population of monotonous, large cells containing fine chromatin. No herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction in the cells. Immunohistochemistry showed the neoplastic cells to be CD3+, CD4, CD7+. CD8-, CD34-, CD56, and TCR-alphabeta+. Repeated cytogenetic studies showed common abnormalities of del(1) (p11p22), +i(7)(ql0), and t(11:14)(q23;q11). The morphologic and immunologic findings were suggestive of peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), unspecified. This case suggests that some PTCLs with clonal chromosomal aberrations can exhibit peculiar serosal spreading in the absence of HHV-8 infection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We studied the ability of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) to infect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) pretreated with or without Th2-cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4) in vitro. METHODS Adherent cells and nonadherent cells were obtained from PBMC. We inoculated these cells with HCMV at concentrations ranging from 0 to 10 ng/ml of IL-4. Immediate-early antigen-1 (IE-1) and glycoprotein H (gH) mRNAs were detected using the reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS IE-1 and gH mRNAs could be detected in monocytes pretreated with IL-4. In contrast, no IE-1 mRNA was detected in monocytes pretreated without IL-4. We tested whether higher infectious titers could result in the infection of monocytes whether or not they were pretreated with IL-4. However, no IE-1 mRNA was detected in the monocytes not pretreated with IL-4. To elucidate how HCMV-infected monocytes affect lung tissue, human embryonic lung fibroblasts MRC-5 were cocultured with HCMV-infected monocytes. The cytopathic effects of HCMV were observed microscopically and was confirmed by direct immunoperoxidase staining with a human monoclonal antibody against the HCMV IE-1. CONCLUSION Our data strongly suggest that the ability of HCMV to infect monocytes may correlate with the presence of IL-4.

Abstract
1. The effects of taurine on the development of atherosclerotic lesions were investigated in apolipoprotein (apo) E-deficient mice, an animal model with severe hypercholesterolaemia and extensive atherosclerosis. These mice were fed a normal laboratory chow containing 2% taurine for 12 weeks. 2. Serum total cholesterol was significantly elevated after 12 weeks treatment with taurine. This elevation was due to increases in very low-density lipoprotein- and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. 3. Despite such effects on serum lipoproteins, analysis using en face oil red O staining revealed that taurine reduced the area of arterial lipid accumulation by 28%, as measured quantitatively as an index of atherosclerosis. Histological examination also demonstrated a decrease in the size of aortic lesions in taurine-treated mice. 4. Serum levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in apoE-deficient mice were higher than in normolipidaemic C57BL/6J mice. Serum TBARS levels were significantly decreased by 12 weeks treatment of apoE-deficient mice with taurine. 5. Thus, taurine prevents the formation of atherosclerotic lesions, independently of serum cholesterol levels, and the results suggest that the anti-oxidative effects of taurine are related to its anti-atherosclerotic actions.

Abstract
We demonstrated transmission of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) from the human lung fibroblast MRC-5 to peripheral blood leukocytes (PBLs). mRNA of the HCMV immediately-early (IE) antigen was detected in PBLs cultured with IL-2 or IL-2 + IL-4 that made direct contact with HCMV-infected MRC-5, whereas it was not detected in PBLs prevented from making cell-to-cell contact. However, mRNA of HCMV IE was not detected in PBLs cultured with IL-2 and IFN-gamma that made direct contact with HCMV-infected MRC-5. Transmission of the pp65 antigen was increased in culture medium containing IL-4. At a higher viral infection titer, cell-free HCMV infected adherent PBLs cells. The subset, which did not adhere, did not infect cell-free viruses even at a very high multiplicity of infection. Moreover, the adhered subset of PBLs infected with HCMV was able to transmit HCMV to non-infected fibroblasts. Our results suggest that cell-to-cell contact (when PBLs make direct contact with HCMV-infected cells) is important in the mechanism of HCMV transmission and that the adherent cells of PBLs are one of the most important vehicles for HCMV infection. Moreover, we suggest that type 2 cytokines such as IL-4 enhance the transmission of HCMV to PBLs.

Abstract
High-dose therapy with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (HDT/PBSCT) was performed as one aspect of front-line therapy in patients with poor-risk aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (high-intermediate/high risk) according to the age-adjusted international prognostic index (aaIPI). Twenty-nine patients were enrolled in this study between November 1994 and March 1999. CHOP + etoposide (CHOP-E) was used as an initial chemotherapy and as a chemotherapy agent for the purpose of cell harvesting. Peripheral blood stem cells were harvested from 17 patients, and HDT with CEC (carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide)/PBSCT was performed in 11 patients. Eighteen patients dropped out, including five for whom CHOP-E therapy was ineffective and 5 who did not give consent for cell harvesting or HDT/PBSCT. CHOP-E therapy produced complete remission (CR) in 15 out of 26 patients (58%) after discounting the 3 who were ineligible among the 29 who were initially enrolled. The median observation period after PBSCT in the 11 patients who underwent HDT/PBSCT was 25 months (3 to 50 months), and the 3-year disease-free survival rate was 73%. No serious complications associated with the transplantation were observed. We were able to confirm the feasibility and safety of HDT/PBSCT as one form of front-line therapy for aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in patients under 60 years of age.

Abstract
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) of newborns is one of the most important factors determining neonatal morbidity and mortality. The interleukin-6 (IL-6) titre in cord sera of RDS-free neonates born to mothers with histological chorioamnionitis was significantly higher than that in RDS-complicated neonates without chorioamnionitis. Maternal administration of glucocorticoid suppressed the IL-6 concentrations in the cord sera of fetuses with chorioamnionitis. The fetuses without chorioamnionitis who suffered from RDS even after maternal glucocorticoid administration showed a similar IL-6 titre to that of RDS-affected neonates without chorioamnionitis. Examination of the mechanism by which IL-6 decreased the incidence of fetal RDS revealed that H441-4, a human pulmonary adenocarcinoma cell line, stimulated with recombinant (r)-IL-6 started the synthesis of mRNA and protein of pulmonary surfactant protein (SP)-A. The present study shows that IL-6 elevation in fetuses with chorioamnionitis promotes fetal lung maturation by inducing SP-A synthesis, thereby decreasing the incidence of RDS in the preterm neonates.

Abstract
In the present study, serologic data were compared with data obtained by capillary PCR to establish the efficacy of capillary PCR for the determination of Mycoplasma infection in samples obtained from throat swabs, bronchoalveolar lavage fluids (BALF), and sputum of patients with Mycoplasma pneumonia. We performed PCR analysis for Mycoplasma DNA on a total of 325 samples from 197 patients with community-acquired pneumonia and in whom Mycoplasma pneumonia was suspected. There were 68 PCR-positive specimens. Review of the differences in PCR positivity rates based on the site of specimen collection showed the highest rate of detection (28.6%) from throat swabs. From among the 31 patients with significantly elevated titers of serum Mycoplasma antibodies, the PCR results were positive for 25 patients. Thus, capillary PCR had a sensitivity of 80.6% (25 of 31). Five of the six false-negative results were from throat swab specimens. Moreover, testing (PCR) had been performed only once for these five patients with false-negative results. From among the PCR-positive findings from BALF specimens, there were no false-positive results. BALF specimens were very useful, except for the technical procedures and increased patient burden required to obtain these specimens. We suggest that the use of throat swab specimens in capillary PCR is much more suitable for diagnosing Mycoplasma pneumonia in routine clinical practice; however, careful throat swab specimen collection and an increase in the number of times that the PCR is performed are necessary to reduce the rate of false-negative results.

Abstract
Inhalation exposure to cadmium (Cd) is associated with inflammatory lesion in the lung. In the present study we have investigated cytotoxic effects of Cd on immortalized rat lung epithelial cells (SV40-T2) and gene expression in those cells following in vitro exposure to sublethal concentrations of cadmium chloride (CdCl(2)). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based subtraction method was used to find differentially expressed genes between control and Cd-exposed SV40-T2 cells. The most prominent cDNA on an agarose gel was identical to a fragment of rat heme oxygenase (HO) gene. Northern blot analysis indicated that the level of HO mRNA expression in SV40-T2 cells was increased to 38-fold of the control value following exposure to 2.5 microM CdCl(2) for 4 h. These results suggest that HO gene expression is one of the most sensitive biomarkers for acute exposure to Cd in the lung.

Abstract
PURPOSE Recently high-dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) has become an important treatment for hematological and solid tumors. METHODS Immunological parameters were examined before and after PBSCT in 9 patients with lung cancer and 13 patients with malignant lymphoma. Findings were compared with those for bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Peripheral blood cells were analyzed for phenotype and the levels of cytokines and soluble factors were measured. RESULTS After PBSCT, activated T cells (CD3+HLA-DR+ cells, CD8+HLA-DR+ cells) and suppressor/cytotoxic T cells (CD8+CD11b- cells) were significantly higher in the patients with lung cancer than in those with malignant lymphoma. Serum levels of interleukin-4 and soluble interleukin-2 receptor were also significantly higher in the patients with lung cancer than in those with lymphoma. On the other hand, the serum levels of interferon gamma, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, soluble human leukocyte antigen class 1, and soluble thrombomodulin were significantly increased after bone marrow transplantation. The transfused peripheral stem cells of lung cancer and lymphoma patients had a similar number of granulocyte/macrophage-colony-forming units, but lung cancer patients had significantly more CD34-positive cells. CONCLUSION By reinfusing large numbers of autologous immune cells, PBSCT may accelerate immune reconstitution, with T cells being likely to have a marked therapeutic potential. The changes after PBSCT were greater in patients with lung cancer than in lymphoma patients. These blood cells are potent mediators of anticancer activity and could play an important role in the elimination of autologous malignant cells.

Abstract
A retrospective study of 75 patients treated surgically for ruptured middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm within 48 hours evaluated clinical grade at admission, secondary development and management of cerebral swelling associated with space-occupying hematoma, cerebral infarction caused by vasospasm, development of hydrocephalus, and clinical outcome. Clinical grade at admission was significantly better in patients without than in those with hematoma (p < 0.01). Twenty-seven patients with sylvian hematoma caused by ruptured MCA aneurysm often developed ipsilateral cerebral swelling in the early period after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Seventeen of these patients developed serious cerebral swelling and received barbiturate therapy. Nine of these 17 patients had good outcome, but six patients died of cerebral swelling. The incidence of hydrocephalus was significantly higher in patients with than in those without hematoma (p < 0.01). The incidence of infarction was more pronounced in patients with sylvian hematoma. Clinical outcome was significantly better in patients without than in those with sylvian hematoma (p < 0.01). Development of cerebral swelling in patients with sylvian hematoma due to ruptured MCA aneurysm has a significant effect on outcome, and improvements in management are required.

Abstract
The serum concentration of inflammation-associated proteins and several complement components in the cord blood of 215 newborns with and without chorioamnionitis (CAM), who were delivered between 17 and 42 weeks of gestation, were measured. We investigated the relationship of levels of serum proteins to acute, subacute, and chronic CAM, and to subacute necrotizing funisitis (SNF). Complement components C3d, C3, and C4 levels increased in subacute CAM (P = 0. 0002, P = 0.0007, P = 0.0029, respectively), whereas factor B increased in each type of CAM (P = 0.0001, P = 0.0009, P = 0.0004, respectively). Among the immunoglobulins, IgG levels were unrelated to the presence or type of CAM, IgM levels increased in subacute CAM (P < 0.0001), and IgA levels increased in chronic CAM (P < 0.0001). Among the acute phase reactants (APR), haptoglobin and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels increased in acute (P < 0.0001, P = 0.0022, respectively) and chronic CAM (P = 0.0035, P = 0.0345, respectively), whereas orosomucoid levels increased in chronic CAM (P = 0.0003). IL-6 levels increased in acute (P = 0.0011) and subacute (P = 0. 0475) CAM. C3d (P = 0.0063), C3 (P = 0.0289), C4 (P = 0.0491), and IgM (P < 0.0001) levels were increased in SNF. These findings suggest that the histologic distinction of acute, subacute, and chronic CAM is a useful indicator of the inflammatory mediator status of the infants. The infants with SNF may have ended their initial active inflammatory states, but they still have subacute immune activation.

Abstract
A 22-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with fever, generalized lymphadenopathy, and pancytopenia in February 1995. She was diagnosed as having systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) based on positivity for anti-nuclear antibody, and polyarthritis among other findings. A diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) was made based on the increase of FDP and other data (DIC score: 7). We also detected an anti-fibrinogen antibody. Lymph node biopsy revealed subacute necrotizing inflammation and there were on signs of the hemophagocytic phenomenon in bone marrow. The DIC score improved and the anti-fibrinogen antibody disappeared in association with the response of SLE to prednisolone therapy. The onset of SLE associated with DIC has never been reported before, as far as we could determine. The mechanism of DIC associated with SLE may be related to endothelial damage caused by immune complexes.

Abstract
We encountered a boy highly suspected of Shwachman syndrome. The affected child presented a mild disturbance of the extrapancreatic secretory function followed by a marked decrease in the number of peripheral blood neutrophils and contracted respiratory infections repeatedly. The neutrophilic function of the affected child showed the disturbance of motility both in vivo and in vitro. So the impairment of the neutrophil itself was considered accountable for it. After admission, he contracted a variety of viral infections and then showed an increase in the number of peripheral blood neutrophils. Furthermore, the disturbance of the extrapancreatic secretory function is also improved slowly. Shwachman syndrome is a rare disease in Japan. From the clinical course of this case, it may be reasonable to infer that there are various variant types in Japan.

Abstract
We report an unusual case of a patient who was cured of one autoimmune disease (palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (PPP)) but developed another autoimmune disease (autoimmune thyroiditis) after allogeneic BMT. A 40-year-old man suffering from AML with PPP underwent allogeneic BMT from his HLA-identical sister for the treatment of AML. The patient experienced complete clearance of the cutaneous PPP despite the cessation of immunosuppressive therapy for over 2 years. However, he developed hyperthyroidism with anti-thyroglobulin antibodies 5 months after BMT, although he had showed normal thyroid functions without anti-thyroglobulin antibodies before BMT. The donor had no history of thyroid diseases and showed normal thyroid functions but was positive for anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. Thus, even when the donor is in a subclinical state, autoimmune thyroiditis may be transferred from donors to recipients by BMT.
