Abstract
The protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica causes amoebiasis, a global public health problem. Amoebiasis is solely transmitted by cysts that are produced from proliferative trophozoites by encystation in the large intestine of humans. During encystation, various metabolites, pathways, and cascades sequentially orchestrate the morphological and physiological changes required to produce cysts. Cholesteryl sulfate (CS) has recently been revealed to be among the key molecules that control the morphological and physiological changes of encystation by exerting pleiotropic effects. CS promotes the rounding of encysting Entamoeba cells and maintains this spherical morphology as encysting cells are surrounded by the cyst wall, a prerequisite for resistance against environmental stresses. CS is also involved in the development of membrane impermeability, another prerequisite for resistance. The initiation of cyst wall formation is, however, CS-independent. Here, we overview CS-dependent and -independent processes during encystation and discuss their functional linkage. We also discuss a potential transcriptional cascade that controls the processes necessary to produce dormant Entamoeba cysts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Over the past years, researchers have been using head-mounted eye-tracking systems to study young children's gaze behaviors in everyday activities through which children learn about the world. This method has great potential to further our understanding of how millisecond-level gaze behaviors create multisensory experiences and fluctuate around social environments. While this line of work can yield insight into early perceptual experiences and potential learning mechanisms, the majority of the work is exclusively conducted with typically-developing children. Sensory sensitivities, social-communication difficulties, and challenging behaviors (e.g., disruption, elopement) are common among children with developmental disorders, and they may represent potential methodological challenges for collecting high-quality data. RESULTS In this paper, we describe our research practices of using head-mounted eye trackers with 41 autistic children and 17 children with increased likelihood of later autism diagnosis without auditory or visual impairments, including those who are minimally or nonspeaking and/or have intellectual disabilities. The success rate in gathering data among children with autism was 92.68%. 3 of 41 children failed to complete the play-session, resulting in an 86.36% success rate among 1-4-year-olds and a 100.00% success rate among 5-8-year-olds. 1 of 17 children with increased likelihood of later autism diagnosis failed to complete the play-session, resulting in a success rate of 94.11%. There were numerous "challenging" behaviors relevant to the method. The most common challenging behaviors included taking the eye-tracking device off, elopement, and becoming distressed. Overall, among children with autism, 88.8% of 1-4-year-olds and 29.4% of 5-8-year-olds exhibited at least one challenging behavior. CONCLUSIONS Research capitalizing on this methodology has the potential to reveal early, socially-mediated gaze behaviors that are relevant for autism screening, diagnosis, and intervention purposes. We hope that our efforts in documenting our study methodology will help researchers and clinicians effectively study early naturally-occuring gaze behaviors of children during non-experimental contexts across the spectrum and other developmental disabilities using head-mounted eye-tracking. Ultimately, such applications may increase the generalizability of results, better reflect the diversity of individual characteristics, and offer new ways in which this method can contribute to the field.

Abstract
Hemangioblastomas are richly vascular tumors. Therefore, visualizing the vascular anatomy of their feeders and drainers is important for planning surgical excision. Preoperative three-dimensional computer graphic(3DCG)images are useful for determining the number, location, and course of their feeders and drainers.

Abstract
Malaria infection elicits both protective and pathogenic immune responses, and IL-27 is a critical cytokine that regulate effector responses during infection. Here, we identified a critical window of CD4+ T cell responses that is targeted by IL-27. Neutralization of IL-27 during acute infection with Plasmodium chabaudi expanded specific CD4+ T cells, which were maintained at high levels thereafter. In the chronic phase, Plasmodium-specific CD4+ T cells in IL-27-neutralized mice consisted mainly of CD127+ KLRG1- and CD127- KLRG1+ subpopulations that displayed distinct cytokine production, proliferative capacity, and are maintained in a manner independent of active infection. Single-cell RNA-seq analysis revealed that these CD4+ T cell subsets formed independent clusters that express unique Th1-type genes. These IL-27-neutralized mice exhibited enhanced cellular and humoral immune responses and protection. These findings demonstrate that IL-27, which is produced during the acute phase of malaria infection, inhibits the development of unique Th1 memory precursor CD4+ T cells, suggesting potential implications for the development of vaccines and other strategic interventions.

Abstract
Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, causes amoebiasis, which is a global public health problem. During the life cycle of this parasite, the properties of the cell membrane are changed markedly. To clarify the mechanism of membrane lipid changes, we exploited state-of-the-art untargeted lipidomic analysis, and atypical features of glycerophospholipids, lysoglycerophospholipids, and sphingolipids were observed compared with human equivalents. Here, we overview an entire E. histolytica glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway based on re-evaluated whole lipidome and genome along with the results of metabolic labeling experiments. We also discuss whether the E. histolytica lipid metabolism network, including the glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway, has unique features necessary for parasitic life cycle adaptation through gene loss and/or gain, and raise important questions involving biochemistry, molecular cell biology, and physiology underlying this network. Answering these questions will advance the understanding of Entamoeba physiology and will provide potential targets to develop new anti-amoebiasis drugs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the effects of bovine lactoferrin (LF) on the maintenance of the respiratory and systemic physical conditions. METHODS A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted. Healthy adults at Kyushu University of Health and Welfare ingested a placebo or bovine LF (200 mg/day) for 12 weeks. The primary endpoints were the total respiratory and systemic symptom scores. The secondary endpoint was the activity of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in peripheral blood. RESULTS A total of 157 subjects were randomized (placebo, n = 79; LF, n = 78), of whom, 12 dropped out. The remaining 145 participants were included in the full analysis set (placebo group, n = 77; LF group, n = 68). The total scores for respiratory and systemic symptoms during the intervention were significantly lower in the LF group than in the placebo group. The expression of CD86 and HLA-DR on pDCs was significantly higher in the LF group than in the placebo group at week 12. Adverse events were comparable between the groups, and no adverse drug reactions were observed. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that orally ingested LF supports the normal immune system via maintaining pDC activity, and maintains respiratory and systemic physical conditions in healthy adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine the effect of others' gaze on an observer's microsaccades. We also aimed to conduct preliminary investigations on the relationship between the microsaccadic response to a gaze and a gazer's facial expression and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) tendencies. METHODS Twenty healthy undergraduate and graduate students performed a peripheral target detection task by using unpredictable gaze cues. During the task, the participants' eye movements, along with changes in pupil size and response times for target detection, were recorded. ADHD tendencies were determined using an ADHD questionnaire. RESULTS We found that consciously perceiving the gaze of another person induced the observer's attention; moreover, microsaccades were biased in the direction opposite to the gaze. Furthermore, these microsaccade biases were differentially modulated, based on the cognitive processing of the facial expressions of the gaze. Exploratory correlation analysis indicated that microsaccade biases toward gazes with fearful expressions may specifically be correlated with participant characteristics, including inattention. CONCLUSIONS Our findings support that microsaccades reflect spatial attention processing and social cognitive processing. Moreover, the exploratory correlation analysis results suggested the potential benefit of using microsaccade bias toward spatial attention to assess pathophysiological responses associated with ADHD tendencies.

Abstract
Background: Haloperidol is widely used for antiemetic control in advanced cancer. However, due to its limited administration methods (oral or injection), its management is frequently challenging in palliative home care. Recently, a blonanserin transdermal patch was developed as the first antipsychotic percutaneous agent. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate its effectiveness and safety for refractory nausea. Methods: We conducted an observational study of 21 terminal cancer patients who had been initiated for refractory nausea in their homes. Results: After its initiation, none of the patients experienced aggravated nausea, and the number of patients with severe nausea decreased dramatically (52.4% vs. 9.5%, p = 0.008). Of 16 patients without ascites, 12.5% had not improved their nausea, which was lower than in patients with ascites (80.0%). Conclusions: Blonanserin transdermal patch has a possible effect on antiemetic control in cancer patients, and its efficacy might be particularly prominent in patients without ascites.

Abstract
Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) are required for peripheral T cell homeostasis in lymphoid organs, but the molecular mechanism underlying this requirement has remained unclear. We here show that T cell-specific CD47-deficient (Cd47 ΔT) mice have a markedly reduced number of T cells in peripheral tissues. Direct interaction of CD47-deficient T cells with cDCs resulted in activation of the latter cells, which in turn induced necroptosis of the former cells. The deficiency and cell death of T cells in Cd47 ΔT mice required expression of its receptor signal regulatory protein α on cDCs. The development of CD4+ T helper cell-dependent contact hypersensitivity and inhibition of tumor growth by cytotoxic CD8+ T cells were both markedly impaired in Cd47 ΔT mice. CD47 on T cells thus likely prevents their necroptotic cell death initiated by cDCs and thereby promotes T cell survival and function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the PAOLA-1/ENGOT-ov25 primary analysis, maintenance olaparib plus bevacizumab demonstrated a significant progression-free survival (PFS) benefit in newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer patients in clinical response after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy plus bevacizumab, irrespective of surgical status. Prespecified, exploratory analyses by molecular biomarker status showed substantial benefit in patients with a BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation (BRCAm) or homologous recombination deficiency (HRD; BRCAm and/or genomic instability). We report the prespecified final overall survival (OS) analysis, including analyses by HRD status. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were randomized 2:1 to olaparib (300 mg bid; up to 24 months) plus bevacizumab (15 mg/kg q3w; 15 months total) or placebo plus bevacizumab. Analysis of OS, a key secondary endpoint in hierarchical testing, was planned for ∼60% maturity or 3 years after the primary analysis. RESULTS After median follow-up of 61.7 and 61.9 months in the olaparib and placebo arms, respectively, median OS was 56.5 versus 51.6 months in the ITT (hazard ratio [HR]=0.92, 95% CI 0.76-1.12; P=0.4118). Subsequent poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor therapy was received by 105 (19.6%) olaparib patients versus 123 (45.7%) placebo patients. In the HRD-positive population, OS was longer with olaparib plus bevacizumab (HR=0.62, 95% CI 0.45-0.85; 5-year OS rate, 65.5% versus 48.4%); at 5 years, updated PFS also showed a higher proportion of olaparib plus bevacizumab patients without relapse (HR=0.41, 95% CI 0.32-0.54; 5-year PFS rate, 46.1% versus 19.2%). Myelodysplastic syndrome, acute myeloid leukemia, aplastic anemia, and new primary malignancy incidence remained low and balanced between arms. CONCLUSIONS Olaparib plus bevacizumab provided clinically meaningful OS improvement for first-line patients with HRD-positive ovarian cancer. These prespecified exploratory analyses demonstrated improvement despite a high proportion of patients in the placebo arm receiving PARP inhibitors post-progression, confirming the combination as one of the standards of care in this setting with the potential to enhance cure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Delirium is a common distressing symptom observed in patients with terminal respiratory diseases and is treated with antipsychotic medications such as haloperidol. Its management is difficult, especially in palliative home care, because its administration is limited to oral or injection methods. Recently, the blonanserin transdermal patch was developed as the first antipsychotic percutaneous agent. After it became available, we recognized its potential for the management of delirium and the alleviation of uncontrolled dyspnea in clinical practice. Thus, this study aimed to assess its efficacy in patients with terminal respiratory diseases. METHODS This retrospective study included 113 patients with respiratory diseases who were cared for at home. The efficacy was evaluated through the prevalence of terminal delirium before and after its treatment initiation for uncontrolled dyspnea. RESULTS Blonanserin transdermal patch treatment for uncontrolled dyspnea improved the prevalence and severity of terminal delirium (from 70.4% to 16.3%, p < 0.001) and reduced the number of doctors' visits to patients' homes within a week before their death (from 4.0 to 3.0, p = 0.086). A sub-group analysis of 23 patients with interstitial pneumonia revealed that the treatment prevented dyspnea progression by inhibiting terminal delirium. CONCLUSIONS Blonanserin transdermal patch performed similarly to haloperidol, as previously reported, for managing terminal delirium. Our study suggests that a blonanserin transdermal patch potentially prevents terminal delirium and alleviates uncontrolled dyspnea in patients with respiratory diseases. Our findings encourage clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of blonanserin transdermal patches for patients with terminal illnesses.

Abstract
Samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu were brought to Earth by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. We analyzed 17 Ryugu samples measuring 1 to 8 millimeters. Carbon dioxide-bearing water inclusions are present within a pyrrhotite crystal, indicating that Ryugu's parent asteroid formed in the outer Solar System. The samples contain low abundances of materials that formed at high temperatures, such as chondrules and calcium- and aluminum-rich inclusions. The samples are rich in phyllosilicates and carbonates, which formed through aqueous alteration reactions at low temperature, high pH, and water/rock ratios of <1 (by mass). Less altered fragments contain olivine, pyroxene, amorphous silicates, calcite, and phosphide. Numerical simulations, based on the mineralogical and physical properties of the samples, indicate that Ryugu's parent body formed ~2 million years after the beginning of Solar System formation.

Abstract
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), a kind of nanomaterial, are widely used in battery electrodes and composite materials, but the adverse effects associated with their accumulation in the living body have not been sufficiently investigated. MWCNTs are a fibrous material with molecules similar to asbestos fibers, and there are concerns about its effects on the respiratory system. In this study, we conducted a risk assessment by exposing mice using a previously developed nanomaterial inhalation exposure method. We quantified the exposure in the lungs by a lung burden test, evaluated the deterioration due to pneumonia using respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, and measured inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). As a result, in the lung burden test, the amount of MWCNT in the lung increased according to the inhalation dose. In the RSV infection experiment, CCL3, CCL5, and TGF-β, which are indicators of inflammation and lung fibrosis, were elevated in the MWCNT-exposed group. Histological examination revealed cells phagocytosing MWCNT fibers. These phagocytic cells were also seen during the recovery period from RSV infection. The present study found that MWCNT remained in the lungs for about a month or more, suggesting that the fibers may continue to exert immunological effects on the respiratory system. Furthermore, the inhalation exposure method enabled the exposure of nanomaterials to the entire lung lobe, allowing a more detailed evaluation of the effects on the respiratory system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been considerable research on the use of artificial intelligence to estimate age and disease status from medical images. However, age estimation from chest X-ray (CXR) images has not been well studied and the clinical significance of estimated age has not been fully determined. METHODS To address this, we trained a deep neural network (DNN) model using more than 100,000 CXRs to estimate the patients' age solely from CXRs. We applied our DNN to CXRs of 1562 consecutive hospitalized heart failure patients, and 3586 patients admitted to the intensive care unit with cardiovascular disease. RESULTS The DNN's estimated age (X-ray age) showed a strong significant correlation with chronological age on the hold-out test data and independent test data. Elevated X-ray age is associated with worse clinical outcomes (heart failure readmission and all-cause death) for heart failure. Additionally, elevated X-ray age was associated with a worse prognosis in 3586 patients admitted to the intensive care unit with cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that X-ray age can serve as a useful indicator of cardiovascular abnormalities, which will help clinicians to predict, prevent and manage cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does the result of endometrial microbiome metagenomic analysis (EMMA), a next generation sequencing (NGS)-based test of the intrauterine microbiome, have an impact on pregnancy rate after the test?
Summary answer
After recommend treatment with antimicrobial and probiotic therapy, the group diagnosed as dysbiosis by EMMA achieved pregnancy significantly earlier than the group with Normal result.
What is known already
Using NGS technology, EMMA testing can determine the composition of the endometrial microbiome by analysing bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA with a focus on the lactobacillus population. Endometrial flora in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) is often composed of pathogenic microorganisms which decrease implantation rates, such as the Enterobacteriaceae family, Staphylococcus spp., Escherichia coli and Gram-negative bacteria. Other studies also indicate that Lactobacillus spp. is a major microorganism in the endometrium. Especially, lactobacillus-dominated microbiota (LDM, defined as > 90% Lactobacillus spp.) in the endometrium has been reported to lead to better pregnancy outcomes than non-LDM (<90% Lactobacillus spp.).
Study design, size, duration
This study was a prospective, multicenter cohort study of 527 patients (under 42 years old) with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) at 14 IVF treatment facilities in Japan from June 2019 to August 2021. Defining RIF as three or more failed implantation attempts and RPL as two or more miscarriages, we examined the prognosis of two additional embryo transfers (ETs) after the EMMA test in patients who underwent the test.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Endometrial tissue was obtained by aspiration from patients in day 15-25 of their menstrual cycles, and sample tissues were analyzed by NGS for EMMA. Participant centers treated patients according to the therapies specified in the reports, including antibiotic treatments, probiotic treatments, re-analysis, and embryo transfer. Multivariate analysis was performed using a generalized linear model with the endpoint of ongoing pregnancy. For the time-to-event analyses, we used Kaplan-Meier survival analysis to compare time to ongoing pregnancy.
Main results and the role of chance
The results of the first EMMA were as follows: 229 patients (43.4%) were normal with Lactobacillus spp. >90% (Normal group), 110 patients (20.9%) were abnormal with less than 90% Lactobacillus spp. and predominantly pathogenic bacteria (Abnormal group), and 188 patients (35.7%) were mild with low absolute amounts of bacteria and ultralow biomass indicating almost sterile (Mild + Ultralow group). There were no significant differences in background factors such as age, duration of infertility, number of previous ETs, or history of deliveries among the three groups. Gardnerella was the most pathogenic bacteria detected in patients with Abnormal EMMA results. All patients in the Abnormal group were treated with antimicrobials and probiotics, and those in Mild + Ultralow group were treated with probiotics. Odds ratio for ongoing pregnancy rate was 1.10(95%CI 0.67-1.82, p = 0.699) in Abnormal group and 1.23(95%CI 0.80-1.89, p = 0.342) in Mild + Ultralow group, respectively. After the intervention, ongoing pregnancies were comparable to those in Normal group.Analysis of time to pregnancy using Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that Abnormal group had a significantly higher rate of ongoing pregnancies during the observation period than the other groups (p = 0.031).
Limitations, reasons for caution
Since this study was not necessarily limited to euploid embryos transferred after testing, an aging bias cannot be excluded. Since this study was conducted with all patients receiving EMMA, the effectiveness of the test needs to be further validated by comparison to patients without EMMA testing.
Wider implications of the findings
This study is the first multicenter study to demonstrate that the intervention based on EMMA reports improve pregnancy outcome in the patients with RIF and RPL. We suggest that the EMMA procedure, which aims at establishing an appropriate uterine microbiome, may be important for implantation and pregnancy continuation.

Abstract
A 64-year-old Japanese woman presented with 1 week of recurrent convulsive seizures. At the time of admission, she was in a coma and did not present with convulsions. Intravenous diazepam administration improved her consciousness, although severe psychomotor excitement developed. Brain MRI demonstrated diffusion restriction in the cerebral cortex of the right hemisphere. Electroencephalography (EEG) showed periodic discharges centered around the parietal regions with right-sided dominance. Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) was suspected, and the patient was actively treated with anti-epileptic drugs. She developed akinetic mutism and generalized myoclonus 1 month after admission. Follow-up EEG studies disclosed periodic synchronous discharges. Abnormal prion protein in the cerebral fluid was detected using a real-time quaking-induced conversion assay. The clinical diagnosis in the present case was sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). Seizures as an initial symptom in patients with CJD are relatively rare. Our case suggests that CJD should be considered as a differential diagnosis when a patient presents with refractory NCSE.

Abstract
We describe classical stochastic processes by using dynamical Lee-Yang zeros. The system is in contact with external leads and the time evolution is described by the two-state classical master equation. The cumulant generating function is written in a factorized form and the current distribution is characterized by the dynamical Lee-Yang zeros. We show that a continuous distribution of zeros is obtained by discretizing the time variable. When the transition probability is a periodically oscillating function of time, the distribution of zeros splits into many parts. We study the geometric property of the current by comparing the result with that of the adiabatic approximation. We also use the Floquet-Magnus expansion in the continuous-time case to study dynamical effects on the current at the fast-driving regime.

Abstract
Interleukin-27 (IL-27) is an immunoregulatory cytokine whose essential function is to limit immune responses. We found that the gene encoding cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (Ch25h) was induced in CD4+ T cells by IL-27, enhanced by transforming growth factor–β (TGF-β), and antagonized by T-bet. Ch25h catalyzes cholesterol to generate 25-hydroxycholesterol (25OHC), which was subsequently released to the cellular milieu, functioning as a modulator of T cell response. Extracellular 25OHC suppressed cholesterol biosynthesis in T cells, inhibited cell growth, and induced nutrient deprivation cell death without releasing high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1). This growth inhibitory effect was specific to actively proliferating cells with high cholesterol demand and was reversed when extracellular cholesterol was replenished. Ch25h-expressing CD4+ T cells that received IL-27 and TGF-β signals became refractory to 25OHC-mediated growth inhibition in vitro. Nonetheless, IL-27–treated T cells negatively affected viability of bystander cells in a paracrine manner, but only if the bystander cells were in the early phases of activation. In mouse models of skin inflammation due to autoreactive T cells or chemically induced hypersensitivity, genetic deletion of Ch25h or Il27ra led to worse outcomes. Thus, Ch25h is an immunoregulatory metabolic switch induced by IL-27 and dampens excess bystander T effector expansion in tissues through its metabolite derivative, 25OHC. This study reveals regulation of cholesterol metabolism as a modality for controlling tissue inflammation and thus represents a mechanism underlying T cell immunoregulatory functions.

Abstract
Japan is currently a super-aging society, and lifestyle-related diseases that increase in incidence with age and the related rise in national medical expenses are major social problems. Preventive medicine and self-medication are becoming more important. Recently, various in vitro and in vivo studies have shown that food-derived natural compounds may contribute to the prevention and treatment of obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes mellitus. This report reviews our previous studies on the usefulness of the citrus flavonoid naringenin for obesity-related diseases. We showed that naringenin exerts an anti-diabetic effect by regulating inflammation pathways involving adipocytes and adipose tissue, and also showed an interaction between naringenin and anti-diabetic drugs. Because natural compounds are generally inexpensive and safe, they have the advantage of being easily applied to clinical applications. However, more detailed studies, such as clinical trials in humans, are required. Further research and scientific evidence will be required for the proper use of food factors in disease prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Carbohydrate ingestion is essential for glycogen recovery after exercise. Although studies have investigated methods for enhancement of glycogen repletion with regard to nutrients and their amounts, no studies have examined the effect of temperature of the ingested solution on glycogen recovery. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of the temperature of glucose solution ingested after exercise on glycogen recovery. Seven-week-old male ICR mice were fasted for 16 h and subjected to treadmill running exercise (20 m/min for 60 min) to decrease glycogen storage. Then, the mice were administered glucose (1.5 mg/g body weight) at three different solution temperatures: 4°C, cold solution group (Cold); 37°C, mild solution group (Mild); and 55°C, hot solution group (Hot). Our results revealed that blood glucose, plasma insulin, and muscle glycogen concentrations did not differ among the three groups. In contrast, liver glycogen concentration in the Hot group was significantly higher than that in the post-exercise and Cold groups (p < 0.05). Furthermore, portal glucose concentration was significantly higher in the Hot group than in the Cold group (p < 0.01). These observations suggest that postexercise muscle glycogen repletion occurs regardless of glucose solution temperature, and that ingesting hot glucose solution after exercise can be an effective means for liver glycogen repletion compared with cold glucose solution ingestion.

Abstract
The International Radiation Protection Association, IRPA, promotes the worldwide enhancement of professional competence, radiation protection (RP) culture and practice by providing benchmarks of good practice, as well as encouraging the application of the highest standards of professional conduct, skills and knowledge for the benefit of individuals and society. Enhancing public understanding of radiation and risk is highlighted by experiences from past emergencies, including the accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company's (TEPCO) Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in 2011 and the following post-disaster recovery, as one of the most important challenges, and this challenge is common across almost all public interfaces regarding radiation and risk. To this end IRPA has been continuing a Task Group activity for Public Understanding since 2013. After a series of workshops in various regions of the world, the IRPA draft guidance was developed and issued for consultation of the Associate Societies in 2019. Through these processes, IRPA received a lot of helpful comments and suggestions. IRPA finally published 'Practical Guidance for Engagement with the Public on Radiation and Risk' on the IRPA website in October 2020. The objective of the guidance is two-fold. Firstly, it is to enthuse all of us in our profession to become more active public advocates for RP. Secondly, it is to provide information, experiences and techniques to help us to become more effective and comfortable in this challenging task. This paper provides a key summary of the published IRPA guidance.

Abstract
We examined the effect of dietary carbohydrate intake on post-exercise glycogen recovery. Male Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were fed moderate-carbohydrate chow (MCHO, 50%cal from carbohydrate) or high-carbohydrate chow (HCHO, 70%cal from carbohydrate) for 10 days. They then ran on a treadmill at 25 m/min for 60 min and administered an oral glucose solution (1.5 mg/g body weight). Compared to the MCHO group, the HCHO group showed significantly higher sodium-D-glucose co-transporter 1 protein levels in the brush border membrane fraction (p = 0.003) and the glucose transporter 2 level in the mucosa of jejunum (p = 0.004). At 30 min after the post-exercise glucose administration, the skeletal muscle and liver glycogen levels were not significantly different between the two diet groups. The blood glucose concentration from the portal vein (which is the entry site of nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract) was not significantly different between the groups at 15 min after the post-exercise glucose administration. There was no difference in the total or phosphorylated states of proteins related to glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in skeletal muscle. Although the high-carbohydrate diet significantly increased glucose transporters in the jejunum, this adaptation stimulated neither glycogen recovery nor glucose absorption after the ingestion of post-exercise glucose.

Abstract
As the decommissioning of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP) progresses, the issue of how to deal with tritiated water has been attracting attention, both domestically and internationally. This article summarises the live discussion at the International Symposium on Tritiated Water, which was held by the Japan Health Physics Society (JHPS) in June 2020. Two issues - the scientific safety of tritiated water and social consensus building - were covered in the live discussion. The importance of further disclosure and dissemination of information based on steady monitoring was highlighted. It was also pointed out that scientific knowledge and scientific research data are merely the bottom line to achieve social consensus. Through the discussions, it was recognised that the role of JHPS is not only to look at the technical issues of safety, but also to look at social issues from the point of view of radiation protection, and to support the solution of these issues.

Abstract
Brazilian propolis (AF-08) is a dietary supplement containing a variety of flavonoids. It is used worldwide as a folk medicine. Flavonoids and a diet of fruits and vegetables containing them have been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Most of CVDs are caused by arterial thrombus formation. A thrombus is formed by the interaction between adhesion and aggregation of platelets to damaged blood vessels and blood coagulation consisting of extrisic and intrinsic pathways. Platelet aggregation and blood coagulation are closely linked to thrombosis. Therefore, we evaluated the effectiveness of AF-08 or its component flavonoids against thrombosis by examining their inhibition of platelet aggregation and blood coagulation. Human platelet-rich plasma was incubated with serial dilutions of AF-08 for 10 min to assess its inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation caused by collagen. The inhibitory effect of AF-08 on blood coagulation was evaluated by the prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), which reflect the coagulation function of extrinsic and intrinsic pathways, respectively. AF-08 significantly inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation but not PT and APTT, indicating that AF-08 inhibited platelet aggregation but not blood coagulation. Among three flavonoids contained in AF-08, apigenin and chrysin obviously inhibited platelet aggregation but the inhibitory effect of kaempferol was less effective. The three flavonoids did not affect PT and APTT. The inhibitory activity of AF-08 on human platelet aggregation without affecting blood coagulation was suggested to be partially due to apigenin and chrysin. AF-08 may be effective in suppressing platelet-based arterial thrombus formation and reducing the risk of CVDs.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is widely used in commercial and industrial fields to process various materials including polymers, most of which have high absorptivity in infrared spectrum. Thin-film processing by the continuous wave (CW) laser is difficult since polymers are deformed and damaged by the residual heat. We developed the new method to make polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) sheets thin. The sheets are pressed to a Cu base by extracting air between the sheets and the base during laser processing. It realizes to cut the sheets to around 50 µm thick with less heat effects on the backside which are inevitable for thermal processing using the CW laser. It is considered that the boundary between the sheets and the base is in thermal equilibrium and the base prevents the sheets from deforming to support the backside. The method is applicable to practical use since it does not need any complex controls and is easy to install to an existing equipment with a minor change of the stage.

Abstract
Glucosyl hesperidin (GH) is a water-soluble derivative of hesperidin, a citrus flavonoid. GH has various pharmacological effects, such as hypolipidemic and hypouricemic effects, and may therefore be a useful supplement or drug. In the present study, we evaluated the effects of long- and short-term intake of GH on hyperglycemia and macrophage infiltration into the adipose tissue of high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. Long-term (11-week) consumption of GH tended to reduce body weight and the fasting blood glucose concentration of the HFD-fed mice, and ameliorated glucose intolerance and insulin resistance, according to glucose and insulin tolerance tests. Additionally, although GH did not affect fat pad weight, it reduced HFD-induced macrophage infiltration into adipose tissue. Short-term (2-week) consumption of GH did not affect the HFD-induced increases in body weight or fasting blood glucose, and it did not ameliorate glucose intolerance or insulin resistance. However, short-term intake did reduce the HFD-induced macrophage infiltration and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) expression in adipose tissue. Furthermore, hesperetin, which is an aglycone of GH, inhibited MCP-1 expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, 3T3-L1 adipocytes co-cultured with RAW264 macrophages, and tumor necrosis factor-α-treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The present findings suggest that daily consumption of GH may have preventive and/or therapeutic effects on obesity-related diseases, such as diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Hypericum perforatum L. has been widely used as a natural antidepressant. However, it is unknown whether it is effective in treating infection-induced neuropsychiatric disorders. AIM OF THE STUDY In order to evaluate the effectiveness of H. perforatum against infection with neurotropic parasite Toxoplasma gondii, which has been linked to neuropsychiatric disorders, this study investigated the anti-Toxoplasma activity using in vitro models. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dried alcoholic extracts were prepared from three Hypericum species: H. perforatum, H. erectum, and H. ascyron. H. perforatum extract was further separated by solvent-partitioning. Hyperforin and hypericin levels in the extracts and fractions were analyzed by high resolution LC-MS. Anti-Toxoplasma activities were tested in vitro, using cell lines (Vero and Raw264), murine primary mixed glia, and primary neuron-glia. Toxoplasma proliferation and stage conversion were analyzed by qPCR. Infection-induced damages to the host cells were analyzed by Sulforhodamine B cytotoxicity assay (Vero) and immunofluorescent microscopy (neurons). Infection-induced inflammatory responses in glial cells were analysed by qPCR and immunofluorescent microscopy. RESULTS Hyperforin was identified only in H. perforatum among the three tested species, whereas hypericin was present in H. perforatum and H. erectum. H. perforatum extract and hyperforin-enriched fraction, as well as hyperforin, exhibited significant anti-Toxoplasma property as well as inhibitory activity against infection-induced inflammatory responses in glial cells. In addition, H. perforatum-derived hyperforin-enriched fraction restored neuro-supportive environment in mixed neuron-glia culture. CONCLUSIONS H. perforatum and its major constituent hyperforin are promising anti-Toxoplasma agents that could potentially protect neurons and glial cells against infection-induced damages. Further study is warranted to establish in vivo efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Olanzapine 10 mg is recommended for breakthrough chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. However, there is a possibility that 5 mg can be expected to be sufficiently effective. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of olanzapine 5 mg for breakthrough chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. METHODS A single-arm prospective trial of olanzapine 5 mg every 24 h for 72 h was conducted to treat breakthrough chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients receiving carboplatinbased chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was total control (i.e., no emesis, no nausea, and no rescue medications) over 72 h. The secondary endpoints were early efficacy using the nausea scores at 30, 60, and 120 min after taking olanzapine from baseline and adverse events. RESULTS Among 84 potentially eligible patients, 19 patients who took olanzapine for breakthrough chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting were examined. The total control rate was 32% (95% CI: 13- 57%), 65% (95% CI: 38-89%), 65% (95% CI: 38-89%), and 29% (95% CI: 10-56%) during 2-24, 24-48, 48-72 h, and overall period, respectively. The nausea scale significantly reduced after 30 min (P=0.0078), and the scale had been reduced by 67% from the baseline after 60 min. The adverse event of somnolence of any grade was observed in 13 (68%) patients, 6 (32%) of whom had grade 2 and 1 (5%) grade 3 somnolence. CONCLUSIONS Olanzapine 5 mg did not show the expected effect on the complete disappearance of breakthrough chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting within 24 h.

Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii is a neurotropic protozoan parasite, which is linked to neurological manifestations in immunocompromised individuals as well as severe neurodevelopmental sequelae in congenital toxoplasmosis. While the complement system is the first line of host defense that plays a significant role in the prevention of parasite dissemination, Toxoplasma artfully evades complement-mediated clearance via recruiting complement regulatory proteins to their surface. On the other hand, the details of Toxoplasma and the complement system interaction in the brain parenchyma remain elusive. In this study, infection-induced changes in the mRNA levels of complement components were analyzed by quantitative PCR using a murine Toxoplasma infection model in vivo and primary glial cells in vitro. In addition to the core components C3 and C1q, anaphylatoxin C3a and C5a receptors (C3aR and C5aR1), as well as alternative complement pathway components properdin (CFP) and factor B (CFB), were significantly upregulated 2 weeks after inoculation. Two months post-infection, CFB, C3, C3aR, and C5aR1 expression remained higher than in controls, while CFP upregulation was transient. Furthermore, Toxoplasma infection induced significant increase in CFP, CFB, C3, and C5aR1 in mixed glial culture, which was abrogated when microglial activation was inhibited by pre-treatment with minocycline. This study sheds new light on the roles for the complement system in the brain parenchyma during Toxoplasma infection, which may lead to the development of novel therapeutic approaches to Toxoplasma infection-induced neurological disorders.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Is oocyte cryopreservation an applicable option for fertility preservation in unmarried patients with haematological malignancies? SUMMARY ANSWER Oocyte cryopreservation via the vitrification method is accessible and may be considered an option for fertility preservation in unmarried patients with haematological malignancies. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Haematological malignancies are most commonly observed amongst adolescent and young adult women. Although the survival rate and life expectancy of those with haematological malignancies have improved, chemotherapy and radiotherapy may impair their reproductive potential. Oocyte cryopreservation is thus an ideal option to preserve their fertility. STUDY DESIGN SIZE DURATION This study retrospectively evaluated 193 unmarried patients (age: 26.2 ± 0.4 years) with haematological malignancies, who consulted for oocyte cryopreservation across 20 different fertility centres in Japan between February 2007 and January 2015. The primary outcome measures were the oocyte retrievals and oocyte cryopreservation outcomes. The secondary outcome measures were the outcomes following oocyte warming for IVF. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS SETTING METHODS The patients had commenced ovarian stimulation cycles via antagonist, agonist, natural and minimal methods for oocyte retrievals, defined according to the treatment strategy of each respective fertility centre. A vitrification method using the Cryotop safety kit was used for oocyte cryopreservation. ICSIs were used for insemination of warmed oocytes. The endometrial preparation method for embryo transfer was hormonal replacement therapy, except in the case of a patient who underwent a spontaneous ovulatory cycle. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Among 193 patients, acute myeloid leukaemia (n = 45, 23.3%) was most common, followed by acute lymphoid leukaemia (n = 38, 19.7%) and Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 30, 15.5%). In total, 162 patients (83.9%) underwent oocyte retrieval, and oocytes were successfully cryopreserved for 155 patients (80.3%). The mean number of oocyte retrieval cycles and cryopreserved oocytes were 1.7 ± 0.2 and 6.3 ± 0.4, respectively. As of December 2019, 14 patients (9.2%) had requested oocyte warming for IVF. The survival rate of oocytes after vitrification-warming was 85.2% (75/88). The rates of fertilisation and embryo development were 80.0% (60/75) and 46.7% (28/60), respectively. Ten patients (71.4%) had successful embryo transfers, and seven live births (50.0%) were achieved. LIMITATIONS REASONS FOR CAUTION This study was limited by its retrospective nature. Additionally, there remains an insufficient number of cases regarding the warming of vitrified oocytes to reliably conclude whether oocyte cryopreservation is effective for patients with haematological malignancies. Further long-term follow-up study is required. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Oocyte retrieval and oocyte cryopreservation were accessible for patients with haematological malignancies; however, the number of oocyte retrievals may have been limited due to the initiation of cancer treatments. Acceptable embryonic and pregnancy outcomes could be achieved following oocyte warming; therefore, our results suggest that oocyte cryopreservation can be considered an option for fertility preservation in patients with haematological malignancies.

Abstract
Immune potentiators, termed adjuvants, trigger early innate immune responses to ensure the generation of robust and long-lasting adaptive immune responses of vaccines. Presented here is a study that takes advantage of a self-assembling small-molecule library for the development of a novel vaccine adjuvant. Cell-based screening of the library and subsequent structural optimization led to the discovery of a simple, chemically tractable deoxycholate derivative (molecule 6, also named cholicamide) whose well-defined nanoassembly potently elicits innate immune responses in macrophages and dendritic cells. Functional and mechanistic analyses indicate that the virus-like assembly enters the cells and stimulates the innate immune response through Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), an endosomal TLR that detects single-stranded viral RNA. As an influenza vaccine adjuvant in mice, molecule 6 was as potent as Alum, a clinically used adjuvant. The studies described here pave the way for a new approach to discovering and designing self-assembling small-molecule adjuvants against pathogens, including emerging viruses.

Abstract
Apoptosis, a major form of programmed cell death, is massively observed in neural plate border and subsequently in the roof plate (RP). While deficiency of apoptosis often results in brain malformations including exencephaly and hydrocephalus, the impact of apoptosis on RP formation and maintenance remains unclear. Here we described that mouse embryos deficient in Apaf1, a gene crucial for the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, in C57BL/6 genetic background exhibited narrow and discontinuous expression of RP marker genes in the midline of the midbrain and the diencephalon. Instead, cells positive for the neuroectodermal gene SOX1 ectopically accumulated in the midline. A lineage-tracing experiment suggests that these ectopic SOX1-positive cells began to accumulate in the midline of apoptosis-deficient embryos after E9.5. These embryos further displayed malformation of the subcommissural organ, which has been discussed in the etiology of hydrocephalus. Thus, the apoptosis machinery prevents ectopic emergence of SOX1-positive cells in the midbrain and the diencephalon RP, and helps in maintaining the character of the RP in the diencephalon and midbrain, thereby ensuring proper brain development.

Abstract
In most areas in Japan, patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) would be transferred to the secondary hospitals or tertiary hospitals according to the judgement of emergency medical service (EMS) staff members. We hypothesized that in-hospital outcomes would be worse in STEMI patients judged as tertiary emergency than in those judged as secondary emergency, which may support the judgement of the current EMS systems. The purpose of this study was to compare in-hospital outcomes of STEMI between patients judged as secondary emergency and those judged as tertiary emergency. We included 238 STEMI patients who were transferred to our institution using EMS hotline, and divided those into the secondary emergency group (n = 106) and the tertiary emergency group (n = 132). The primary endpoint was in-hospital death. The prevalence of shock was significantly higher in the tertiary emergency group than in the secondary emergency group (32.6% vs. 10.4%, p < 0.001). The GRACE score was significantly higher in the tertiary emergency group than the secondary emergency group [146 (118–188) vs. 134 (101–155), p < 0.001]. The incidence of in-hospital death was significantly higher in the tertiary emergency group than in the secondary emergency group (8.0% vs. 2.1%, p = 0.014). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the tertiary emergency was significantly associated with in-hospital death (OR 3.52, 95% CI 1.24–10.02, p = 0.018) after controlling age and gender. In conclusion, the tertiary emergency was significantly associated with in-hospital death. Our results might validate the judgement of levels of emergency by local EMS staff members.

Abstract
A method that delivers a high yield and excellent quality of essential oil, which retains most of its value-added compounds, and undergoes least change after the extraction process, is greatly sought after. Although chemical free methods are acceptable, they call for an extensive processing time, while the yield and quality from these methods are often disappointing. This work utilizes subcritical water technology to address these issues. In this undertaking, essential oil was extracted from Aquilaria malaccensis wood by way of subcritical conditions, and characterized through gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS). Optimization through response surface methodology revealed temperature to be the most critical factor for the extraction process, while the optimum conditions for temperature, sample-to-solvent ratio, and time for subcritical water extraction was revealed as 225 °C, 0.2 gr/mL, and 17 min, respectively. The subcritical water extraction technique involves two simultaneous processes, which are based on good fitting to the two-site kinetic and second order model. In comparison to the hydrodistillation method, GC/MS results indicated that the quality of A. malaccensis’ wood oils, derived through the subcritical water technique, are of significantly better quality, while containing many constructive value-added compounds, such as furfural and guaiacol, which are useful for the production of pesticides and medicines. Pore size, functional groups, and morphology analysis revealed the occurrence of substantial damage to the samples, which facilitated an improved extraction of bio-products. In comparison to conventional methods, the use of the subcritical method not only involves a shorter processing time, but also delivers a higher oil yield and quality.

Abstract
Denosumab is widely used for treating bone metastases in patients with advanced cancer. However, hypocalcemia has been reported as a serious adverse effect during this treatment. Therefore, monitoring serum calcium concentration is essential. During long-term continuous administration ofdenosumab, the burden ofeach blood sampling occasion and medical economics should be clarified; however, the appropriate blood sampling frequency has not yet been confirmed. In the present study, we performed a retrospective investigation of serum calcium concentration after denosumab administration. The results indicated that serum calcium concentration tended to increase with repeated administration. A significant increase was observed at the time ofthe third and sixth administration. This suggested that it was possible to reduce the frequency ofblood sampling during long-term administration ofdenosumab with appropriate calcium supplementation.

Abstract
Electro- and diffusio- phoresis of particles correspond respectively to the transport of particles under electric field and solute concentration gradients. Such interfacial transport phenomena take their origin in a diffuse layer close to the particle surface, and the motion of the particle is force-free. In the case of electrophoresis, it is further expected that the stress acting on the moving particle vanishes locally as a consequence of local electroneutrality. But the argument does not apply to diffusiophoresis, which takes its origin in solute concentration gradients. In this paper we investigate further the local and global force balance on a particle undergoing diffusiophoresis. We calculate the local tension applied on the particle surface and show that, counter-intuitively, the local force on the particle does not vanish for diffusiophoresis, in spite of the global force being zero as expected. Incidentally, our description allows to clarify the osmotic balance in diffusiophoresis, which has been a source of debates in the recent years. We explore various cases, including hard and soft interactions, as well as porous particles, and provide analytic predictions for the local force balance in these various systems. The existence of local stresses may induce deformation of soft particles undergoing diffusiophoresis, hence suggesting applications in terms of particle separation based on capillary diffusiophoresis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics of the combination of three direct-acting antiviral (DAA) agents (adafosbuvir [also known as AL-335], odalasvir, and simeprevir) were investigated in DAA treatment-naïve Japanese patients with genotype (GT)1 or GT2 chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, with or without compensated cirrhosis. METHODS In this Phase IIa, open-label, multicenter study-OMEGA-3 (NCT02993250)-patients received JNJ-4178 (adafosbuvir 800 mg once daily [QD], odalasvir 25 mg QD, and simeprevir 75 mg QD) for 8 (non-cirrhotic patients; Cohort 1) or 12 (cirrhotic patients; Cohort 2) weeks. Patients were followed-up to 24 weeks following the end of treatment (EOT). The primary endpoint was safety, including adverse events (AEs). RESULTS Overall, 33 patients were enrolled into Cohort 1 (N = 22) or 2 (N = 11) and received combined treatment with JNJ-4178. During the treatment and follow-up phases, a higher percentage of patients in Cohort 2 (81.8%) experienced AEs compared with Cohort 1 (68.2%), but the incidence of treatment-related AEs was similar. Most AEs were mild-to-moderate in severity and no patients discontinued due to an AE. There was one serious AE (cataract) in a patient in Cohort 2, which was not considered related to treatment. All patients achieved sustained virologic response 12 weeks after EOT (SVR12). No incidences of viral relapse were observed during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS In HCV GT1- and GT2-infected Japanese patients, treatment with JNJ-4178 was well tolerated and resulted in 100% of patients achieving SVR12.
