Electronic structure of the parent compound of superconducting infinite-layer nickelates. NATURE MATERIALS 2020; 19:381-385.

Abstract
The search continues for nickel oxide-based materials with electronic properties similar to cuprate high-temperature superconductors1-10. The recent discovery of superconductivity in the doped infinite-layer nickelate NdNiO2 (refs. 11,12) has strengthened these efforts. Here, we use X-ray spectroscopy and density functional theory to show that the electronic structure of LaNiO2 and NdNiO2, while similar to the cuprates, includes significant distinctions. Unlike cuprates, the rare-earth spacer layer in the infinite-layer nickelate supports a weakly interacting three-dimensional 5d metallic state, which hybridizes with a quasi-two-dimensional, strongly correlated state with [Formula: see text] symmetry in the NiO2 layers. Thus, the infinite-layer nickelate can be regarded as a sibling of the rare-earth intermetallics13-15, which are well known for heavy fermion behaviour, where the NiO2 correlated layers play an analogous role to the 4f states in rare-earth heavy fermion compounds. This Kondo- or Anderson-lattice-like 'oxide-intermetallic' replaces the Mott insulator as the reference state from which superconductivity emerges upon doping.

Abstract
The 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7) was introduced among children in Japan in 2010. There are no long-term multicenter surveillance studies of antimicrobial resistance in S. pneumoniae before and after the introduction of PCV7. Therefore, we examined chronological trends in antimicrobial resistance among 4534 strains of S. pneumoniae isolated from both children and adults in the Kinki region of Japan during 2001-2015. High-level penicillin and third-generation cephalosporin resistance in S. pneumoniae increased among both children and adults during the period before the introduction of PCV7 (2001-2010). Besides penicillin and cephalosporin, pneumococcal carbapenem and macrolide resistance increased among children. The rate of resistance to these antibiotics was higher among children than among adults. The introduction of PCV7 decreased the rate of non-susceptibility to β-lactam antibiotics and the rate of multidrug resistant S. pneumoniae among children, but not among adults.

Titanium dxy ferromagnetism at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface. NATURE MATERIALS 2013; 12:703-706.

Abstract
A number of recent transport and magnetization studies have shown signs of ferromagnetism in the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 heterostructure, an unexpected property with no bulk analogue in the constituent materials. However, no experiment thus far has provided direct information on the host of the magnetism. Here we report spectroscopic investigations of the magnetism using element-specific techniques, including X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, along with corresponding model calculations. We find direct evidence for in-plane ferromagnetic order at the interface, with Ti(3+) character in the dxy orbital of the anisotropic t2g band. These findings establish a striking example of emergent phenomena at oxide interfaces.

Subband structure of a two-dimensional electron gas formed at the polar surface of the strong spin-orbit perovskite KTaO3. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2012; 108:117602.

Abstract
We demonstrate the formation of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the (100) surface of the 5d transition-metal oxide KTaO3. From angle-resolved photoemission, we find that quantum confinement lifts the orbital degeneracy of the bulk band structure and leads to a 2DEG composed of ladders of subband states of both light and heavy carriers. Despite the strong spin-orbit coupling, our measurements provide a direct upper bound for the potential Rashba spin splitting of only Δk(parallel)}~0.02 Å(-1) at the Fermi level. The polar nature of the KTaO3(100) surface appears to help mediate the formation of the 2DEG as compared to nonpolar SrTiO3(100).

Fermi surface and superconductivity in low-density high-mobility δ-doped SrTiO3. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2011; 107:106801.

Abstract
The electronic structure of low-density n-type SrTiO3 δ-doped heterostructures is investigated by angular dependent Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. In addition to a controllable crossover from a three- to two-dimensional Fermi surface, clear beating patterns for decreasing dopant layer thicknesses are found. These indicate the lifting of the degeneracy of the conduction band due to subband quantization in the two-dimensional limit. Analysis of the temperature-dependent oscillations shows that similar effective masses are found for all components, associated with the splitting of the light electron pocket. The dimensionality crossover in the superconducting state is found to be distinct from the normal state, resulting in a rich phase diagram as a function of dopant layer thickness.

Dominant mobility modulation by the electric field effect at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2009; 103:226802.

Abstract
Caviglia et al. [Nature (London) 456, 624 (2008)] have found that the superconducting LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface can be gate modulated. A central issue is to determine the principal effect of the applied electric field. Using magnetotransport studies of a gated structure, we find that the mobility variation is almost 5 times that of the sheet carrier density. Furthermore, superconductivity can be suppressed at both positive and negative gate bias. These results indicate that the relative disorder strength strongly increases across the superconductor-insulator transition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease can be diagnosed from stress and delayed images of myocardial single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) using technetium-99 m-tetrofosmin (TcTF). However, the negative predictive value of stress SPECT images after a single injection of a low tracer dose remains unknown. Thus, the present study investigates whether normal stress SPECT results predict event-free survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS We screened 302 consecutive patients who were randomly assigned to two groups for myocardial ischaemia using either stress SPECT with a low dose of TcTF (296 MBq, TcTF group, n = 150) or stress together with rest SPECT using thallium(201) chloride (TlCl, 111 MBq; TlCl group, n = 152) as the tracer. A total of 80 patients with abnormal SPECT findings were excluded and the remaining 222 with normal results (age, 66.5 +/- 0.7 years; TcTF/TlCl, 112/110) were enrolled in the present study and followed up for 401 +/- 9 days, with the endpoint being ischaemic cardiac events. RESULTS The incidence of cardiac events did not differ between the two groups (0.9% and 0.0% in TcTF and TlCl groups, respectively). The cost and duration of TcTF and TlCl SPECT examinations were about 425 and 603 Euros and 50 and 280 min, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The negative predictive values of stress SPECT using a low dose of TcTF and of combined stress and rest SPECT using TlCl did not differ and both were clinically acceptable. Thus, stress SPECT using low dose TcTF is useful in screening patients for myocardial ischaemia.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is the most serious residential pollutant. In order to evaluate residential HCHO levels, two sampling methods have been recommended; one is a 30 minute sampling in a closed room, and the other is a 24 hour sampling with an ordinary lifestyle routine. The aim of this report was to clarify the difference between the HCHO levels obtained by the two sampling methods. Residential air in 58 rooms was sampled for 30 minutes by an active sampling method more than 5 hours after residents closed windows, and by a passive sampling method for 24 hours with an ordinary lifestyle routine. The HCHO concentration with the 30 minute sampling was 0.118+/-0.065 ppm (range: 0.034-0.295 ppm) and 36 rooms (62%) exceeded the Japanese guideline value of 0.08 ppm, while 5% were higher than 0.25 ppm. The HCHO concentration with the 24 hours sampling was 0.053+/-0.039 ppm (range: 0.02-0.167 ppm) and only 13 rooms (22%) exceeded 0.08 ppm. The relationship between the concentrations obtained by the two methods was linear. However, the level with the 24 hour sampling significantly reduced with prolonged window opening time, meaning that occupants made an effort to reduce the usual exposure to about 40% of the exposure in a closed room by opening windows in order to escape from irritation. Since major adverse effects of HCHO are irritation and sensitization, the occasional peak concentration must be focused. In order to evaluate residential HCHO levels, measurement in a closed room is recommended even if people are living there.

Abstract
The gene (mstI) encoding a serine proteinase inhibitor named marinostatin from marine Alteromonas sp. strain B-10-31 was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was analyzed. A short open reading frame of 192 bp encoded 63 amino acids with a molecular weight of 6,985. Furthermore, the initial product of marinostatin (marinostatin L) was purified and its amino acid sequence was analyzed. These results indicate that marinostatin is produced as a unique precursor consisting of the mature peptide and the leader peptide for an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, and furthermore the initial product of marinostatin is dehydrated and processed by proteolysis to give homologous forms of marinostatin.

Abstract
Intracellular electrolyte alterations of the myocardial cells from the patients pretreated and non-treated with diltiazem in coronary surgery were measured by means of X-ray microanalysis. Myocardial biopsy specimens were obtained at the right atrial wall at non-ischemia, ischemia and reperfusion periods. The ion concentrations at non-ischemia which is the condition of pre-open heart surgery in patients were: Ca 0.8 +/- 0.05, K 108 +/- 2.3, Na 10 +/- 1.9, Cl 30 +/- 1 (mean +/- S.E., mmol/kg wet weight, n = 100-130), and there were no significant differences for Ca, K, Na and Cl with diltiazem administration. The intracellular Ca increased without diltiazem in reperfusion after open heart surgery. However, there was no Ca increase in either the ischemia or reperfusion states with diltiazem. The K content was significantly lower, and the Na and Cl contents were higher than those of non-ischemia in both ischemia and reperfusion without diltiazem. The K loss, and Na and Cl increases in the reperfusion period were recovered to the levels in the non-ischemia state with diltiazem administration. This study showed that the use of calcium-free cardioplegic solution caused intracellular calcium accumulation in a hypothermic global ischemic and reperfused conditions during coronary surgery, whereas, diltiazem could suppress the calcium accumulation. The alterations of potassium, sodium and chlorine were also favourable in patients with diltiazem. The possible mechanism of the effects of diltiazem on the element alterations of myocardium are discussed.

Abstract
In eight hundred and sixteen consecutive patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) within the past 19 years (1974 to 1993), repeated CABG were performed on 12 patients (1.47%). The main reasons for repeated CABG were graft failure (GF), progression of native disease (NP) and incomplete revascularization (IR). The incidence of GF only and GF combined NP were high either within a half year or around 5 years after CABG. When the recurrence of angina is noted after CABG, the catheter intervention should be chosen at first but the reoperation should be done not so late. Although all patients survived from reoperation, three patients continued to have mild angina pectories. If a reoperation is inevitable, maximum utilization of arterial graft and accomplishment of complete revascularization are emphasized.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effects of Ryanodine for myocardial protection. Twenty-four rabbits were studied using the working heart model divided four groups. The first is control group with no Ryanodine, the second is 10(-9) M, the third is 10(-8) M and the last one is 10(-7) M Ryanodine with GIK cardioplegic solution respectively. The hemodynamics was studied and the elemental concentrations (Ca, Mg, K, Na, Cl) of myocardial cell was measured using X-ray microanalysis. The results showed that intracellular Ca accumulation was dose-dependently suppressed with Ryanodine during reperfusion and also Ryanodine was significantly effective to maintain the hemodynamics during same one.

Abstract
Internal thoracic artery (ITA) grafts for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are superior to SVG in the long-term patency and survival. In spite of our effort to utilize ITA whenever possible, we still have some cases which have to receive only vein grafts. Among the consecutive 201 patients undergoing CABG in the past three years, 32 patients (16%) received only vein grafts. We compared these patients (SVG group) with those who received ITA grafts (ITA group). The SVG group consisted of all emergency cases and many cases with single and double vessel disease. In the SVG group, perioperative use of IABP was more frequent and operative mortality was higher, although the number of grafts was fewer (2.66 vs 3.61) and aortic cross clamping time was shorter in this group. Main reasons for selecting only vein grafts were emergency surgery, inadvertent injury of ITA, inadequate ITA free flow etc. Technical refinement in the preparation of ITA is important to make possible wider application of arterial grafts for CABG.

Abstract
During the past three and half years, we experienced eighteen patients with stab wound of the chest. Ten patients were homicidal victims and the remainders were suicides. According to our indications (Table 4), thoracotomy was done in eight patients (44%). The major reason for thoracotomy in this series was massive bleeding. Five pulmonary, four diaphragmatic, four intercostal-artery's and two pericardial injuries were repaired. In our series, six patients (33%) were accompanied with abdominal stab wound and laparotomy was done in five patients. Four liver's one stomach's, one spleen's, one intestine's and one omentum's injuries were repaired. There were three DOA's (dead on arrival). The causes of DOA's were massive bleedings from the heart in two patients and from the liver in one patients. Except for the DOA's, four patients (27%) were not operated on. In conclusion, three DOA's, could not be resuscitated, but all remainders (the thoracotomy's, the laparotomy's and the non-surgical patients) survived and had no complications.

Abstract
Migration of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) of the media through the internal elastic lamina to the intima in response to various chemoattractants is considered to be an important event in the development of atherosclerosis. We evaluated the influence of elastin peptides prepared from normal aorta on migration of cultured rat aortic SMCs in vitro. Studies with filters coated with elastin peptides in a modified Boyden's chamber showed that the migratory response of cultured rat aortic SMCs in response to platelet-derived factors was impeded by filter-bound elastin peptides. The inhibitory effect appeared to be relatively specific for elastin peptides and for SMCs, as other matrix components (Types I, III, IV, and V collagens and fibronectin) did not impede SMC migration, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes were not impeded by elastin peptides. Elastin peptides in solution in the lower well caused the migratory response, and this response was also inhibited by filter-bound elastin peptides. Attractants such as platelet-derived factors and elastin peptides are likely to be present in the matrix around migrating SMCs. These studies suggest that elastin peptides adhering to the substratum or elastin, a major component of elastic fiber, may be one of the natural inhibitors of vascular SMC migration in response to chemoattractants in the fluid phase.

Abstract
To establish a detailed reevaluation system for infants who were recalled by a neonatal mass screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, pregnanetriol (PT) and pregnanetriolone (PTL) in a single urine specimen combined with plasma 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) and 21-deoxycortisol (21-DOF) were determined by a simple method using glass capillary gas chromatography. A pilot study of neonatal mass screening for CAH with a determination of "disc 17-OHP" value in dried blood on filter paper was carried out in Western Shizuoka Prefecture. During the study period (32 months), 37472 neonates were determined by mass screening, and 362 neonates proved to be abnormal candidates who needed further evaluations. From out of these candidates, 262 neonates responded with recall and were studied. Amongst these 262 neonates, 241 neonates visited directly our outpatient clinic at Hamamatsu University Hospital. The reevaluation conducted at our clinic included a physical examination, detailed family history, measurement of serum electrolytes, disc 17-OHP, plasma 17-OHP and 21-DOF values, and PT and PTL in a single urine specimen. Consequently, 3 neonates appeared to be patients with CAH. Two of them were the salt-losing type and the other was the simple virilizing type. The rest of the candidates who received reevaluation were finally decided to be healthy neonates, indicating false positivity by mass screening. Compared to the candidates who showed false positivity in the mass screening, the CAH patients had an apparently high urinary PT and PTL titer of ten or one hundred fold. Additionally, despite corticosteroid treatment in one case, significantly elevated levels of PT and PTL were detected. To assay PTL was a more reliable parameter for the detection of CAH and for following up the candidates because PTL was not detectable in 63.3% of the false positive cases, suggesting that PTL was less likely to indicate false positive cases. PTL was detected at more than 0.01 microgram/ml urine in 19.4% of false positive cases, however, no case showed further elevation of PTL during the follow up period. In all false positive cases, PTL was not detectable until the age of six months. Despite problems to be resolved, determination of urinary PTL titer is valuable for the detection of CAH patients. In addition, urinary PTL could be a good parameter for the further follow up of false positive cases in neonatal mass screening.

Abstract
A pilot neonatal mass-screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) was performed in the western region of Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, using a simplified radioimmunoassay method for 'Disc-17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) determination. The results obtained during a 30-month period indicated that 3 infants out of the 34314 neonates examined were proved to have 21-OHD, and the incidence of homozygotes and heterozygotes were estimated to be 1:11438 and 1:54, respectively. At the time of recall, the concentrations of plasma 17-OHP and 21-deoxycortisol and their urine metabolites as well as plasma sodium levels were quite applicable to diagnosis, while the clinical signs that may be manifest in 21-OHD were of little value in this connection. Prematurity and perinatal complications of neonates tended to give false-positive results, being secondary to the function of the residual foetal adrenal cortex and non-specific stimulatory effects of various stresses. Despite several technical and practical problems to be solved, the present study demonstrated the importance and validity of a neonatal mass-screening program for CAH.
