Abstract
We have developed a SERS stamp that can be pressed directly onto a solid surface for characterization of surface-adsorbed target molecules. The stamp was fabricated by transfer of a dense monolayer of SiO2 nanospheres from a glass surface onto a piece of adhesive tape and subsequent evaporation of silver. The performance of the resulting SERS stamps was evaluated by their exposure to methyl mercaptan vapor, and immersion in rhodamine 6G and ferbam solutions. It was found that beside the nanosphere diameter and metal deposition thickness, the extent of burial of the nanospheres into the adhesive tape, dictated by the pressure during the nanosphere transfer process, had a significant effect. We carried out FDTD calculations of the near field. Models are based on morphological information obtained from helium ion microscopy, which can provide high-resolution images of poor electrical conductors such as our SERS stamp. While one of our main eventual goals is detection of pesticides on agricultural produce, we have begun to take a careful step by testing our SERS stamp on better characterized surfaces such as a porous gel surface, having been immersed in fungicides such as ferbam. We also present our preliminary results with ferbam on oranges. It is expected that our well-characterized SERS stamp will play a role in shedding light on the poorly studied transfer process of target molecules onto a SERS surface as well as serving as a new SERS platform.

Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a well-known antioxidant and serves as an essential carrier for electron transport and proton translocation in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. CoQ10 has been widely commercially available in Japan as a dietary and health supplement since 2001 and it is used for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases induced by aging. Recently, it was stated that for Japan, which is facing an aging society, CoQ10 has been used in many skincare products. However, the physiological actions of CoQ10 in skin fibroblasts are not fully understood. In this study, we examined the effect of CoQ10 on cultured human skin fibroblast. In this study, CoQ10 treatment increased intracellular CoQ10 level and promoted proliferation of fibroblasts. In addition, CoQ10 increased mRNA expression of type I, IV, VII collagen, elastin, and HSP47, whereas CoQ10 has little effect on mRNA of type II and VIII MMP. These results suggested that CoQ10 has the efficacy that it increases collagen production in skin, thereby there is possible of the anti-aging by CoQ10 in Japan which reached an aging society, so that it might be based on new physiological function by CoQ10.

Abstract
Introduction The albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade is a novel indicator of the liver function. Some studies showed that the ALBI grade was a prognostic and predictive biomarker for the efficacy of chemotherapy in cancer patients. The association between the ALBI grade and outcomes in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with cancer immunotherapy, however, is poorly understood. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 452 patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC who received anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)-based therapy between 2016 and 2019 at three medical centers in Japan. The ALBI score was calculated from albumin and bilirubin measured at the time of treatment initiation and was stratified into three categories, ALBI grade 1-3, with reference to previous reports. We examined the clinical impact of the ALBI grade on the outcomes of NSCLC patients receiving anti-PD-1-based therapy using Kaplan–Meier survival curve analysis with log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Results The classifications of the 452 patients were as follows: grade 1, n = 158 (35.0%); grade 2, n = 271 (60.0%); and grade 3, n = 23 (5.0%). Kaplan–Meier survival curve analysis showed that the ALBI grade was significantly associated with progression-free survival and overall survival. Moreover, Cox regression analysis revealed that the ALBI grade was an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival and overall survival. Conclusion The ALBI grade was an independent prognostic factor for survival in patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC who receive anti-PD-1-based therapy. These findings should be validated in a prospective study with a larger sample size. ALBI grade is calculated from albumin and bilirubin. We evaluated the impact of ALBI grade on survival in NSCLC patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors. ALBI grade was an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). ALBI grade effectively stratified PFS and OS in patients with performance status 1-3. ALBI grade was significantly associated with PFS and OS, regardless of programmed death ligand-1.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is an intricate and multifactorial phenomenon, which is characterized by an irreversible cellular growth arrest, it is caused in response to irretrievably DNA damage, telomere shorting, activation of oncogene, and oxidative stress. Human diploid fibroblasts are a well-established experimental model for premature senescence-related studies, and exposure of fibroblasts to H2O2 is widely used as a SIPS model. Recently, it has been reported many studies of CoQ10 as to anti-aging effects, however the effect of CoQ10 on H2O2-induced SIPS model of human skin fibroblasts has not been understood. So that, we investigated that human skin fibroblasts were used to investigate the prevention effect of CoQ10 against H2O2-induced SIPS model. We created SIPS model fibroblasts with treatment of 100 μM H2O2 for 2 h. In this study, CoQ10 also increased cell viability and mRNA levels of type I, IV collagen and protein level of type I collagen. Moreover, it is shown that CoQ10 suppressed oxidative stress, degradation of collagen by increasing MMP expression, and decreasing senescence-associated phenotypes (e.g. SA-βgal positive staining and SASP) for preventing skin aging via H2O2-induced SIPS model. These results suggested that CoQ10 has possibility to be contributory for extension of healthy life expectancy in Japan.

Abstract
The brain needs the appropriate capillary networks to maintain normal brain function. Since previous studies showed age-related decrease in the cortical capillaries, it is suggested that protection against capillary aging is critical for maintaining brain function. Epidemiological studies have indicated that brain functions were protected from age-related decline by the long-term consumption of matcha. However, whether matcha has protective effects on capillary aging has not been studied yet. In this study, we utilized Flt1-DsR mice that expressed a red fluorescent protein in vascular endothelial cells to visualize cortical capillaries clearly. We found that cortical capillary density decreased in aging Flt1-DsR mice. Our results of the aortic ring assay and tube formation assay revealed that matcha and its components vitamin K1 and lutein, which are abundant in matcha powder, enhanced the angiogenic potential. Moreover, we evaluated the effect of long-term ingestion of matcha on mouse cortical capillary aging by using imaging experiments. The capillary density of the Flt1-DsR mice, which were fed matcha-containing food, indicated the protective effects of matcha ingestion on capillary aging in a limited cortical layer. These results suggest that biological regulation of matcha and its components affect the angiogenic potential, which is related to the prevention of capillary aging.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BAG) are used as bone-graft substitutes in orthopaedic surgery. A specific BAG scaffold was developed by sintering BAG-S53P4 granules. It is hypothesised that this scaffold can be used as a bone substitute to fill bone defects and induce a bioactive membrane (IM) around the defect site. Beyond providing the scaffold increased mechanical strength, that the initial inflammatory reaction and subsequent IM formation can be enhanced by coating the scaffolds with poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) is also hypothesised. To study the immunomodulatory effects, BAG-S53P4 (± PLGA) scaffolds were placed on monolayers of primary human macrophage cultures and the production of various pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines was assessed using reverse transcriptase quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and ELISA. To study the osteogenic effects, BAG-S53P4 (± PLGA) scaffolds were cultured with rabbit mesenchymal stem cells and osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by RT-qPCR and matrix mineralisation assays. The scaffold ion release was quantified and the BAG surface reactivity visualised. Furthermore, the pH of culture media was measured. BAG-S53P4 scaffolds had both anti-inflammatory and osteogenic properties that were likely attributable to alkalinisation of the media and ion release from the scaffold. pH change, ion release, and immunomodulatory properties of the scaffold could be modulated by the PLGA coating. Contrary to the hypothesis, the coating functioned by attenuating the BAG surface reactions and subsequent anti-inflammatory properties, rather than inducing an elevated inflammatory response compared to BAG-S53P4 alone. These results further validated the use of BAG-S53P4 (± PLGA) scaffolds as bone substitutes and indicate that scaffold properties can be tailored to a specific clinical need.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to compare proportions of chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) and other surgical outcomes between transinguinal preperitoneal repair with modified Kugel patch (MK) and Lichtenstein repair (LR). METHODS Two-hundred adult male patients with primary unilateral inguinal hernia were randomized into MK or LR groups. The primary endpoint was CPIP, pain at 6 months after surgery. Secondary outcomes included recurrence rate, incidence of postoperative complications, time until return to activities, inguinal pain and sensory disturbances assessed at 1 week, 1 month, 3, 6, and 12 months after the operation using an 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS). The study was an intention-to-treat analysis. RESULTS In comparison of MK (n = 100) and LR (n = 100) with similar backgrounds, proportions of CPIP were similar (7.2 vs. 11.1%, p = 0.3452). Favorable outcomes for MK were duration of operation (32 vs. 40 min, p < 0.0001), NRS of foreign body sensation at 1 year (0 [0-1] vs. 0 [0-2], p = 0.0067), and NRS of numbness at 1 month (0 [0-1] vs. 0 [0-3], p = 0.0078) after the operation. CONCLUSIONS In regard to CPIP, the short-term results of MK and LR were similar.

Abstract
Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma is a rare type of cancer of the salivary gland that involves the malignant transformation of a primary or recurrent pleomorphic adenoma, which often metastasises to the lungs or bones, or both. To the best of our knowledge, however, nobody has reported a distant metastasis of this lesion to the brain without such previous metastasis. We report a case in a 64-year-old man.

Extracellular coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10) is reduced to ubiquinol-10 by intact Hep G2 cells independent of intracellular CoQ 10 reduction. Arch Biochem Biophys 2019; 672:108067. [PMID: 31400302 DOI: 10.1016/j.abb.2019.108067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2019] [Revised: 08/03/2019] [Accepted: 08/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential factor in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and is closely associated with ATP production in humans. It is known that orally administered CoQ10 in humans is rapidly reduced, and most is detected as a reduced form, ubiquinol-10 (CoQ10H2), in serum. However, the mechanism of exogenous CoQ10 reduction in vivo is unclear. Therefore, in order to clarify how CoQ10 is reduced to CoQ10H2, we conducted a study using human liver cancer cell line Hep G2 cells, which show strong intracellular CoQ10-reducing activity. When intact cells were incubated with CoQ10, the exogenously added CoQ10 was incorporated into the cells, time-, concentration-, and temperature-dependently, and 50-80% of that was detected as CoQ10H2. On the other hand, a part of the extracellular CoQ10 was also detected as CoQ10H2, and the amount was greater than that of the intracellular CoQ10H2. Furthermore, the CoQ10-loaded cells did not leak the intracellular CoQ10H2 (or CoQ10) to the outside of the cells, and modulation of the extracellular CoQ10H2 amount had little effect on the intracellular CoQ10 or CoQ10H2 contents, suggesting the existence of an individual mechanism of CoQ10 reduction inside and outside the cells. Moreover, intact cells could reduce CoQ10 in low-density lipoprotein to CoQ10H2. Therefore, we concluded that a novel CoQ10-reducing mechanism may exist in the plasma membrane, probably the outer surface, of Hep G2 cells, and it may work to reduce extracellular CoQ10 and/or maintain extracellular CoQ10H2.
