Abstract
The worldwide pregnancy rate using cryopreserved mammalian embryos has not improved over the past 2 decades, probably because the freeze-thawing processes cause significant damage. Therefore, it is now relevant to examine the feasibility of short-term non-freezing preservation, and whether this could be applied to embryos that have high vitality and are to be transferred into recipients within several days. We introduce here an artificial dormancy fluid that can extend the hypothermic storage period of bovine embryos for a maximum of 7 days. First, to examine the effect of different basal media and the optimal concentration of fetal bovine serum (FBS) for hypothermic preservation, bovine blastocysts produced in vitro were stored at 4°C in a plastic ministraw in 1 of the following 3 media: PBS, medium 199, or Leibovitz L15 with various amount of FBS (0, 5, 20, 50, or 100%) for 3 days. Second, to examine the effect of Good's buffers, bovine embryos produced in vivo (morula to blastocyst stages) were stored at 4°C in a plastic ministraw in medium 199 plus 50% FBS supplemented with various Good's buffers [HEPES, TES, piperazine-N,N′-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid) (PIPES), MOPS, and 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-propanesulfonic acid (EPPS)] for 7 days. Following hypothermic preservation, the chilled embryos were squeezed out of the straw into PBS and washed 3 times in the same medium. Subsequently, the embryos were cultured in CR1aa medium supplemented with 5% FBS for 48 h at 38.5°C under 5% CO2 in air with high humidity. The viability rate of the embryos was assessed at the end of the culture period. Finally, to observe the pregnancy rate of chilled embryos, 32 embryos produced in vivo were stored at 4°C for 7 days in medium 199 plus 50% FBS supplemented with HEPES. Following hypothermic preservation, the chilled embryos were transferred into recipient heifers (1 embryo per recipient). Pregnancy was determined by real-time B-mode ultrasonography (Convex scanner HS-1500, Honda electronics Co. Ltd, Toyohashi, Japan) on Day 60 of gestation. Data were analysed using the chi-squared test. The viability rate of the embryos after hypothermic storage for 3 days was significantly increased for medium 199 plus 50% FBS [27/30 (90%)] compared with PBS [18/30 (60%)] or Leibovitz L15 [15/30 (50%)] plus 50% FBS (P < 0.05). Chilled embryos stored for 7 days in medium 199 plus 50% FBS supplemented with HEPES had much higher survival than embryos stored in the same medium with other Good's buffers. The pregnancy rate of the chilled embryos stored for 7 days was extremely high [24/32 (75%)] and normal live calves were delivered at term. In conclusion, maintaining artificial dormancy of bovine embryos for 7 days using a simple medium appears to be feasible. This is the first documented success of storing chilled mammalian embryos in a viable state for 7 days. To be of practical value, bovine embryo preservation at hypothermic temperatures must be able to maintain viability for periods longer than 7 days.

Abstract
We examined the sequence variation of mitochondrial DNA control region and cytochrome b gene of the house mouse (Mus musculus sensu lato) drawn from ca. 200 localities, with 286 new samples drawn primarily from previously unsampled portions of their Eurasian distribution and with the objective of further clarifying evolutionary episodes of this species before and after the onset of human-mediated long-distance dispersals. Phylogenetic analysis of the expanded data detected five equally distinct clades, with geographic ranges of northern Eurasia (musculus, MUS), India and Southeast Asia (castaneus, CAS), Nepal (unspecified, NEP), western Europe (domesticus, DOM) and Yemen (gentilulus). Our results confirm previous suggestions of Southwestern Asia as the likely place of origin of M. musculus and the region of Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northern India, specifically as the ancestral homeland of CAS. The divergence of the subspecies lineages and of internal sublineage differentiation within CAS were estimated to be 0.37-0.47 and 0.14-0.23 million years ago (mya), respectively, assuming a split of M. musculus and Mus spretus at 1.7 mya. Of the four CAS sublineages detected, only one extends to eastern parts of India, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Philippines, South China, Northeast China, Primorye, Sakhalin and Japan, implying a dramatic range expansion of CAS out of its homeland during an evolutionary short time, perhaps associated with the spread of agricultural practices. Multiple and non-coincident eastward dispersal events of MUS sublineages to distant geographic areas, such as northern China, Russia and Korea, are inferred, with the possibility of several different routes.

Abstract
Allergen challenges induce airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass in the sensitized rat. Whether the remodeled ASM changes its phenotype is uncertain. We examined, in sensitized Brown Norway rats, the effects of multiple ovalbumin (Ova) challenges on ASM remodeling and phenotype and the role of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in these processes. Rats were sensitized with Ova and challenged three times at 5-day intervals with phosphate-buffered saline or Ova and pretreated with the EGFR inhibitor AG-1478 (5 mg/kg) or its vehicle dimethyl sulfoxide. Ova challenges increased ASM mass in all-sized airways and in large airway mRNA expression of smooth muscle myosin heavy chain (sm-MHC), assessed by laser capture. Myosin light chain kinase and the fast myosin isoform SM-B mRNA expressions were not affected. Ova induced AHR to methacholine, and, based on the constant-phase model, this was largely attributable to the small airways and lung derecruitment at 48 h that recovered by 1 wk. The EGFR ligands amphiregulin and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF) were increased in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid at 48 h after Ova exposure. AG-1478 inhibited AHR and prevented ASM growth. Epithelial gene expression of EGFR, HB-EGF, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, Gro-α, and transforming growth factor-β was unaffected by Ova challenges. We conclude that EGFR drives remodeling of ASM, which results from repeated Ova challenge. Furthermore, the latter results in excessive small airway and, to a lesser degree, large airway narrowing to methacholine, and large airway gene expression of contractile protein is conserved.

Abstract
Microduplications of the Sotos syndrome region containing NSD1 on 5q35 have recently been proposed to cause a syndrome of microcephaly, short stature and developmental delay. To further characterize this emerging syndrome, we report the clinical details of 12 individuals from 8 families found to have interstitial duplications involving NSD1, ranging in size from 370 kb to 3.7 Mb. All individuals are microcephalic, and height and childhood weight range from below average to severely restricted. Mild-to-moderate learning disabilities and/or developmental delay are present in all individuals, including carrier family members of probands; dysmorphic features and digital anomalies are present in a majority. Craniosynostosis is present in the individual with the largest duplication, though the duplication does not include MSX2, mutations of which can cause craniosynostosis, on 5q35.2. A comparison of the smallest duplication in our cohort that includes the entire NSD1 gene to the individual with the largest duplication that only partially overlaps NSD1 suggests that whole-gene duplication of NSD1 in and of itself may be sufficient to cause the abnormal growth parameters seen in these patients. NSD1 duplications may therefore be added to a growing list of copy number variations for which deletion and duplication of specific genes have contrasting effects on body development.

Abstract
The FIB-4 index is a simple formula to predict liver fibrosis based on the standard biochemical values (AST, ALT and platelet count) and age. We here investigated the utility of the index for noninvasive prediction of progression in liver fibrosis. The time-course alteration in the liver fibrosis stage between paired liver biopsies and the FIB-4 index was examined in 314 patients with chronic hepatitis C. The average interval between liver biopsies was 4.9 years. The cases that showed a time-course improvement in the fibrosis stage exhibited a decrease in the FIB-4 index, and those that showed deterioration in the fibrosis stage exhibited an increase in the FIB-4 index with a significant correlation (P < 0.001). Increase in the ΔFIB-4 index per year was an independent predictive factor for the progression in liver fibrosis with an odds ratio of 3.90 (P = 0.03). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the ΔFIB-4 index/year for the prediction of advancement to cirrhosis was 0.910. Using a cut-off value of the ΔFIB-4 index/year <0.4 or ≥ 0.4, the cumulative incidence of fibrosis progression to cirrhosis at 5 and 10 years was 34% and 59%, respectively in patients with the ΔFIB-4 index/year ≥0.4, whereas it was 0% and 3% in those with the ΔFIB-4 index/year <0.4 (P < 0.001). In conclusion, measurement of the time-course changes in the FIB-4 index is useful for the noninvasive and real-time estimation of the progression in liver fibrosis.

Abstract
DNA replication errors are especially frequent in repetitive DNA sequences, including microsatellites. Thus, microsatellites are sensitive indicators of the genetic instability observed in many types of human cancers, particularly colorectal cancer. We tested prostate carcinomas for the presence of microsatellite alleles not present in normal tissue from the same individuals. Analysis of 7 microsatellites in each of 30 patients revealed instability at only one microsatellite in one tumor. This level of microsatellite instability, considerably lower than that reported previously, may reflect differences in patient pools. We discuss the implications of the genetic stability of prostate cancers relative to other cancers.

Abstract
SUMMARY IgG4-related disease is characterized by histologic fibrosis with IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration. Our study evaluated MR imaging features of IgG4-related disease in the head and neck and brain. Images from 15 patients were retrospectively evaluated for the location, signal intensity, and enhancement patterns of lesions. Lacrimal gland enlargement was observed in 8 cases. Other lesions included orbital pseudotumor in 5, pituitary enlargement in 5, and cranial nerve enlargement in 7; the infraorbital nerve was involved in 4. All lesions were hypointense on T2-weighted images, which is typical for IgG4-related lesions. Multiple sites were involved in the head and neck and brain in 11 patients. The diagnosis of IgG4-related disease should be considered in a patient presenting with T2 hypointense lacrimal gland, pituitary, or cranial nerve enlargement, or a T2 hypointense orbital mass, especially if multiple sites in the head and neck are involved in the presence of elevated serum IgG4.

Abstract
In this paper, we discuss a new method of controlling heating location in the proposed resonant cavity applicator. A dielectric bolus was used to non-invasively treat brain tumors. We have already confirmed that our heating system using resonant cavity is useful to non-invasively heat brain tumors. In order to heat tumors occurring at various locations, it is necessary to control the heating area with our heating system. First, we presented the proposed heating method and a phantom model to calculate temperature distributions. The results of temperature distributions were discussed. Second, a 3-D human head model constructed from 2-D MRI images was presented. The results of specific absorption rate distributions were discussed. From these results, it was found that the proposed heating method was useful to non-invasively treat brain tumors.

Abstract
Mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP) is a mucous membrane-dominated, subepidermal autoimmune blistering disease in which autoantibodies usually react with the C-terminal domain of type XVII collagen (COL17) or with laminin-332. Only a few cases of MMP with widespread blisters have been reported. Serologically, IgA and IgG class autoantibodies directed against COL17 or IgG autoantibodies directed against laminin-332 in patients with MMP have been well documented. MMP cases in which IgA reacts with laminin-332, however, are extremely rare. We report a case of MMP in a 67-year-old man. Clinical examination revealed extensive mucosal lesions as well as generalized blisters and erosions that healed with scar formation. The disease was intractable to treatment with systemic steroids. Interestingly, in addition to IgG directed against laminin-332 and the noncollagenous 16A (NC16A) and C-terminal domains of COL17, circulating IgA reacting with laminin-332 and with the NC16A domain of COL17 was also detected. This is the first MMP case with circulating IgA and IgG autoantibodies against both laminin-332 and COL17.

Abstract
Embryo-maternal recognition is known to be mediated by the trophoblast and/or its secretory product during the preimplantation period. However, it was recently proposed that embryo-maternal recognition (along with the maternal immune system) could be activated by zona pellucida-degradation products including oligosaccharide chains from very early stage embryos (Fujiwara et al. 2009 J. Reprod. Immunol. 81, 1–8). If this is true, we predict that mammalian mothers recognise the presence of an embryo immediately after fertilization in vivo. The purpose of the present study was to compare the expressions of immune tolerance genes in bovine endometrial-luminal lymphoid (ELL) cells collected from animals after AI or embryo transfer (ET). ELL cells were collected from recipient cows inseminated with frozen–thawed semen on Day 0 (=oestrus, n = 8) and from cows that received a transferred embryo on Day 7 (n = 8) of the oestrous cycle. On Days 9 and 11, ELL cells ipsilateral to the corpus luteum were flushed non-surgically from four cows of each group using Ringer's solution (500 mL). To eliminate large cell clusters of endometrium and the embryo (blastocyst), the flushing medium was passed through an embryo collection filter (EmCon filter, 75 μm stainless steel screen). A single viable blastocyst was collected from each recipient cow. The recovered flushing medium containing ELL cells was centrifuged. The ELL cells were suspended in PBS and separated by Lympholyte-H (Cedarlane, Ontario, Canada) gradient centrifugation. Using RT-real-time PCR, transcripts for four immune tolerance genes in ELL cells from AI or ET examined were transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and forkhead box P3 (Foxp3). Data were normalized to that of an endogenous control (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase) and analysed using ANOVA followed by Scheffe′s test. Transcripts for TGF-β, M-CSF, IL-10, and Foxp3 were detected in all RT-samples derived from ELL cells on Days 9 and 11 of the oestrous cycle. Transcript levels of TGF-β, M-CSF and IL-10 in the AI group were the same as those of the ET group (P > 0.05), although the transcript level of Foxp3, a master regulator of the function of regulatory T-cells, in the AI group was significantly higher than that of the ET group on Days 9 and 11 (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the transcript level of Foxp3 in the ET group on Day 11 was significantly higher than that of the ET group on Day 9 (P < 0.05). These results indicate that the embryo-maternal recognition in AI occurs earlier than in ET, and suggest that cows recognise an embryo earlier than those generally believed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Using a liver tumour model we investigated whether thalidomide enhances the anti-tumour effect of transcatheter arterial embolisation (TAE). METHOD First, the viability of VX2 tumour cells co-cultured with thalidomide in a 21% and 1% O(2) atmosphere was assessed by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Second, we randomly assigned 20 rabbits bearing VX2 liver tumours to 4 groups: Group 1 (thalidomide plus TAE), Group 2 (TAE only), Group 3 (thalidomide only) and Group 4 (control). Thalidomide was orally administered for 5 days. The anti-tumour effects were assessed by the tumour proliferation rate using MRI and by immunohistochemical analysis of the area of intratumoural vessels. Analysis of variance and Tukey's honestly significant difference test were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The viability of cells grown under hypoxic and normal conditions was not significantly different, nor was there a difference among the four groups. The tumour size increased by 55.9±29.3% in Group 1, 250.6±73.3% in Group 2, 355.2±51.7% in Group 3 and 424.7±110.7% in Group 4; the difference between Group 1 and the other three groups was significant. The area of intratumour vessels in specimens was 0.22±0.28% in Group 1, 0.42±0.29% in Group 2, 1.44±1.00% in Group 3 and 6.00±2.17% in Group 4; the difference between Group 1 and the other groups was statistically significant, as was the difference between Groups 3 and 4. CONCLUSION Thalidomide used in combination with TAE enhanced anti-tumour effects in rabbits bearing VX2 liver tumours.

Abstract
We previously found that conophylline, an alkaloid isolated from the leaves of Ervatamia microphylla, induced beta-cell differentiation in rat pancreatic acinar carcinoma cells and in cultured fetal rat pancreatic tissue and that it also decreased the blood glucose level in streptozotocin-treated fetal rats. In the present research, we looked into the effect of conophylline on the differentiation of newborn pig pancreatic endocrine cells into insulin-secreting cells. Conophylline potentiated the differentiation of monolayer cells into insulin-producing cells in the presence of nicotinamide in 3 weeks. Next we prepared islet-like cell clusters (ICC). Cononophylline together with nicotinamide also increased the number of insulin-producing cells and the insulin content in ICC in 3-6 weeks. The ICC thus prepared were sensitive to the glucose concentration for the insulin secretion. Conophylline increased the mRNA expression of PDX-1, neurogenin3, neuroD/Beta2, and insulin in ICC. Thus, the vinca alkaloid conophylline potentiated beta-cell differentiation in porcine pancreatic endocrine-rich cells in cluster cultures. Pig pancreatic cells are practical candidate for use in transplantation therapy. Conophylline may thus be useful for the large-scale preparation of porcine insulin-producing cells for the regeneration therapy of type-1 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
In cattle, high intake of crude protein elevates rumen ammonia and blood urea nitrogen and has been associated with decreased fertility. The aim of this study was to analyze the concentration of ammonia in bovine follicular fluid derived from abattoir ovaries and to examine the relation between ammonium concentration and morphology of oocytes from antral follicles. In the first experiment, follicular fluid was collected within 1 h of slaughter from 3919 small (2-5 mm in diameter), 366 medium (6-9 mm), and 159 large (10-20 mm) follicles from 203 ovaries. Ammonium concentration was analyzed in 6 batches pooled from follicular fluids of each size (derived from 15, 39, 7, 36, 81, and 25 ovaries, respectively). Ammonium concentration was measured by the microdiffusion method using an Ami Check Meter kit (Kyoto Daiichi Kagaku Co., Ltd., Japan). In the second experiment, follicular fluids were aspirated from small (2-5 mm) follicles of 38 cows to evaluate the relationship between ammonium concentration and oocyte morphology. Oocytes were classified into 4 morphological categories according to the surrounding cumulus cells (Konishi M et al. 1996 Theriogenology 45, 573-581): grade 1 (≥5 layers); grade 2 (3-4 layers); grade 3 (1-2 layers); and grade 4 (denuded, degenerated cumulus cell mass or ooplasm). The oocyte morphology for the low-ammonium group (<330 μmol, 239 oocytes from 19 cows) and high-ammonia group (≥330 μmol, 255 oocytes from 19 cows) was compared. Statistical significance was tested by chi-square test or t-test Ammonium con- centrations of small (281.8 ± 20.0 μM), medium (175.4 ± 15.8 μM), and large (96.3 ± 9.3 μM) follicles were significantly different (P < 0.0001). Ammonium concentrations in follicular fluid of the 38 cows ranged from 180.6 to 802.4 μM. In a comparison of oocyte morphology between the low- (263.8 ± 41.6 μM) and high-ammonium (423.0 ± 108.9 μM) groups, the number of grade 1, 2, 3, and 4 oocytes in the former (80, 68, 18, and 73, respectively) were not significantly different from the numbers in the latter (96, 61, 27, and 71, respectively; P = 0.30-0.99). These results indicate that, in follicles of different sizes derived from abattoir ovaries, the ammonium concentration was higher in small follicles than in the other sizes of follicles. However, there was no evidence that in vivo exposure of bovine oocytes to ammonium badly influenced oocyte morphology. Further studies are needed to examine the relationship between ammonium concentration and the developmental potential of oocytes.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) damage preimplantation embryos by increasing DNA fragmentation, leading to early embryonic death. Erythrocytes have been shown to protect other cells and tissues against ROS. In mice, erythrocytes were recently found to improve the early development of embryos by their antioxidant effect. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of erythrocytes on the in vitro development of bovine IVF embryos in medium supplemented with ROS. COCs were aspirated from ovaries collected from a local slaughterhouse and were cultured for 22 h in TCM-199 containing 5% fetal bovine serum. IVF was performed using an IVF100 (Research Institute for the Functional Peptides, Yamagata, Japan) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In experiment 1, IVF embryos were cultured in CR1aa medium supplemented with an oxidizing agent, 0.5 mM hypoxanthine and 0.01 U mL-1 xanthine oxidase (HX/XOD), in the presence and absence of erythrocytes (5 × 104, 5× 105, 5×106, and 5 × 107 erythrocytes mL-1). In experiments 2 and 3, the development of embryos under the condition without ROS was assessed in the presence and absence of erythrocytes (5 × 106 erythrocytes mL-1) or erythrocyte hemolysate (hemoglobin concentration of 1.9 g L-1), respectively. At 7 days after in vitro culture, the development to the blastocyst stage of IVF embryos was examined using a stereomicroscope. Data were analyzed using Fisher’s PLSD test and Student’s t-test In experiment 1, the presence of HX/XOD significantly inhibited embryo development to the blastocyst stage in vitro (P < 0.05). The addition of erythrocytes to medium supplemented with HX/XOD markedly improved preimplantation development (Table 1). In experiments 2 and 3, supplementation of erythrocytes or erythrocyte hemolysate promoted the development of embryos to the blastocyst stage (experiment 2: erythrocyte 42.4 ± 3.1%, control 28.5 ± 5.7%, P < 0.1; experiment 3: erythrocyte hemolysate 39.1 ± 3.3%, control 30.2 ± 1.0%, P < 0.1). In conclusion, we suggest that the addition of erythrocytes to culture medium can counteract the negative effects of ROS on embryo development and blastocyst formation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the combination of cisplatin-eluting gelatin microspheres (GMSs) and flavopiridol enhances anti-tumour effects in a rabbit VX2 liver tumour model. Tumour-bearing rabbits (n = 21) were divided into five groups and infused from the proper hepatic artery. Group 1 (n = 5) received cisplatin-eluting GMSs (1 mg kg(-1)) and flavopiridol (3 mg kg(-1)), group 2 (n = 5) cisplatin-eluting GMSs alone (1 mg kg(-1)), Group 3 (n = 5) flavopiridol (3 mg kg(-1)), Group 4 (n = 3) GMSs alone (1 mg kg(-1)), and Group 5 (n = 3) was the control group receiving physiological saline (1 ml kg(-1)). On days 0 and 7 after procedures the liver tumour volume was measured using a horizontal open MRI system and the relative tumour volume growth rates for 7 days after treatment were calculated. On T(1) weighted images, the tumours were visualised as circular, low-intensity areas just below the liver surface. After treatment, the signals remained similar. The relative tumour volume growth rate for 7 days after treatment was 54.2+/-22.4% in Group 1, 134.1+/-40.1% in Group 2,166.7+/-48.1% in Group 3, 341.8+/-8.6% in Group 4 and 583.1+/-46.9% in Group 5; the growth rate was significantly lower in Group 1 than the other groups (p<0.05). We concluded that in our rabbit model of liver tumours the combination of cisplatin-eluting GMSs and flavopiridol was effective.

Abstract
This paper discusses the heating properties of a new type of hyperthermia system composed of a re-entrant type resonant cavity applicator for deep tumors of the abdominal region. In this method, a human body is placed in the gap of two inner electrodes and is non-invasively heated with electromagnetic fields stimulated in the cavity. Here, we calculated temperature distributions of a simple human abdominal phantom model that we constructed to examine the heating properties of the developed hyperthermia system. First, the proposed heating method and a simple abdominal model to calculate the temperature distribution are presented. Second, the computer simulation results of temperature distribution by 3-D FEM are presented. From these results, it was found that the proposed simple human abdominal phantom model composed of muscle, fat and lung was useful to test the heating properties of our heating method. Our heating method was also effective to non-invasively heat abdominal deep tumors.
