Abstract
Surgery for esophageal carcinoma is known to be associated with high morbidity. Recent studies have reported a correlation of nutritional and inflammatory parameters with postoperative course. This study aims to clarify the risk factors for operative morbidity after resection of esophageal carcinoma. Consecutive patients who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma at our institute were included (n = 102; 89 males and 13 females; mean age: 67.3 years). Clinicopathological characteristics, presence or absence of sarcopenia, and modified Glasgow prognostic score were assessed, and their correlation with postoperative complications was investigated using univariate and multivariate analyses. Sarcopenia was defined using a combination of muscle mass area and body mass index. Of the included 102 patients, 45 (44.1%) exhibited sarcopenia (sarcopenia group), while 57 (55.9%) did not (non-sarcopenia group). No significant difference was observed between the groups regarding surgical procedures and tumor stage; furthermore, there was no mortality. Twenty-six patients developed respiratory complications (including 20 cases of pneumonia). On univariate analysis, sarcopenia, modified Glasgow prognostic score, and American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status were found to be significantly associated with the development of postoperative respiratory complications. On multivariate analysis, sarcopenia was found to be an independent risk factor for postoperative respiratory complications after esophagectomy. We believe that identifying patients at risk and providing preoperative nutritional support as well as physical therapy aimed at strengthening of body muscles may help reduce the incidence of postoperative respiratory complications in such patients.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Anthracycline-containing regimens are standard treatment options in adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer. Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is experienced frequently in patients receiving these regimens, but the risk factors for CINV are unknown.
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors for CINV in anthracycline-containing regimens retrospectively.
METHODS:
Data were collected from the JONIE study, which was conducted in order to estimate the efficacy of zoledronic acid in a neoadjuvant setting from March 2010 to June 2012 (UMIN000003261). A total of 180 patients were recruited, and we used CINV data from the first cycle of FEC100 treatment and patient backgrounds. As the protocol regulation allowed the use of antiemetic drugs,in the first cycle of the FEC100 regimen, patients received various types of antiemetic agents, which we classified into four groups: Dexamethasone (DEX)+5-HT3 receptor antagonist (5-HT3)+neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist (NK1) (DEX+5-HT3+NK1) group; Dexamethasone (DEX)+5-HT3 receptor antagonist (5-HT3) (DEX+5HT3) group; Dexamethasone (DEX)+5-HT3 receptor antagonist (5-HT3)+dopamine receptor antagonist (DRA) (DEX+5HT3+DRA) group; and Dexamethasone (DEX)+5-HT3 receptor antagonist (5-HT3)+neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist (NK1)+ dopamine receptor antagonist (DRA) (DEX+5-HT3+NK1+DRA) group. Risk factors were selected from patient backgrounds and the combinations of antiemetic drugs. In patient backgrounds, the body mass index (BMI) was stratified into 3 categories: Less than 18.5 (underweight group); equal to or more than 18.5 but less than 25 (standard BMI group); and equal to or more than 25 (overweight group). The risks for CINV were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyses. P values of less than 0.05 were defined as significant.
RESULTS:
In a univariate analysis of nausea, the body mass index (BMI) was the only significant factor (P<0.05). On the other hand, BMI and the combination of antiemetic drugs were significant factors in vomiting. (P<0.05 and 0.005, respectively). In a multivariate analysis of nausea, the P value for BMI was 0.02. The odds ratio for the underweight group was 7.745 (confidence interval: 2.171 to 27.634) compared with the standard BMI group. In a multivariate analysis of vomiting, BMI and the combination of antiemetic drugs were significant risk factors (P=0.025 and 0.023, respectively). The odds ratio for the underweight group was 3.481 (confidence interval: 1.183 to 10.241)compared with the standard BMI group. Furthermore, the odds ratios in the DEX+5-HT3+DRA and DEX+5HT3 groups were 5.005 (confidence interval: 1.543 to 16.239) and 4.178 (confidence interval: 1.428 to 12.222), respectively, compared with the DEX+5-HT3+NK1 group, which was consistent with the CINV guidelines in 2011.
CONCLUSIONS:
This study revealed that BMI was the most important risk factor for nausea, and that BMI and the combination of antiemetic drugs were risk factors for vomiting. Underweight-patients tend to have CINV in anthracycline-containing regimen. The DEX+5-HT3+NK1 group was the best antiemetic drug combination. These result show that following the CINV guideline treatment is mandatory in order to prevent CINV.

Abstract
We developed a new type of dc-to-pulse converter, called FRAC (Fringing-RF-field-Activated dc-to-pulse Converter) for low-energy ion beams electrostatically accelerated from an ion source. FRAC is based on a radio-frequency quadrupole (RFQ) linear trap technique and works in principle under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. Ions continuously injected into FRAC are decelerated by an alternating longitudinal electric field produced in a distorted radio frequency field around the edge region of RFQ rods. These ions accumulate in FRAC for a significantly long time. This edge effect appears most notably when the energy of incoming ions exceeds the injection barrier potential by less than a few eV and the energy spread is quite small. The ions stacked during the FRAC operation period are ejected as a high intensity pulsed beam. We investigated the performance of FRAC and the capability of some FRAC operation methods developed to enhance the dc-to-pulse conversion efficiency. The maximum conversion efficiencies achieved were 22% and 5.6% at FRAC operation frequencies of 10 and 1 Hz, respectively. The number of ions contained in an output beam pulse with a duration of 500 μs was in practice 1.6 × 109 ions/pulse at an injected dc beam intensity of 4.6 nA and an operation frequency of 1 Hz.

Abstract
Fabrication of a 2D square lattice array of intentionally tapered micro-/nano-silicon pillars by metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) of silicon wafers is reported. The pillars are square rod shaped with the cross-sections in the range 0.2 × 0.2-0.9 × 0.9 μm2 and heights 3-7 μm. The spacing between pillars in the 2D square lattice was controlled between 0.5 and 3.0 μm. While the pillars after MACE had the high aspect ratio ∼1:5, subsequent anisotropic wet etching in potassium hydroxide solution led to 80°-89.5° tapers with smooth sidewalls. The resulting taper angle showed the relation with geometry of pillar structures; the spacing 0.5-3.0 μm led to the tapering angle 89.5°-80° for 3 and 5 μm tall pillars but 7 μm tall pillars showed no dependency between the tapering angle and the inter-pillar spacing. Such an array of silicon tapered-rods with smooth sidewalls is expected to be applicable as a mold in nanoimprinting applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Both clinical and imaging criteria must be met to diagnose neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and multiple sclerosis. However, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders are often misdiagnosed as MS because of an overlap in MR imaging features. The purpose of this study was to confirm imaging differences between neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and MS with visually detailed quantitative analyses of large-sample data. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively examined 89 consecutive patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (median age, 51 years; range, 16-85 years; females, 77; aquaporin 4 immunoglobulin G-positive, 93%) and 89 with MS (median age, 36 years; range, 18-67 years; females, 68; relapsing-remitting MS, 89%; primary-progressive MS, 7%; secondary-progressive MS, 2%) from 9 institutions across Japan (April 2008 to December 2012). Two neuroradiologists visually evaluated the number, location, and size of all lesions using the Mann-Whitney U test or the Fisher exact test. RESULTS We enrolled 79 patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and 87 with MS for brain analysis, 57 with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and 55 with MS for spinal cord analysis, and 42 with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and 14 with MS for optic nerve analysis. We identified 911 brain lesions in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, 1659 brain lesions in MS, 86 spinal cord lesions in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders, and 102 spinal cord lesions in MS. The frequencies of periventricular white matter and deep white matter lesions were 17% and 68% in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders versus 41% and 42% in MS, respectively (location of brain lesions, P < .001). We found a significant difference in the distribution of spinal cord lesions between these 2 diseases (P = .024): More thoracic lesions than cervical lesions were present in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (cervical versus thoracic, 29% versus 71%), whereas they were equally distributed in MS (46% versus 54%). Furthermore, thoracic lesions were significantly longer than cervical lesions in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (P = .001), but not in MS (P = .80). CONCLUSIONS Visually detailed quantitative analyses confirmed imaging differences, especially in brain and spinal cord lesions, between neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and MS. These observations may have clinical implications.

Abstract
We have previously shown that 12 days of high-dose calcineurin inhibition induced tolerance in MHC inbred miniature swine receiving MHC-mismatched lung, kidney, or co-transplanted heart/kidney allografts. However, if lung grafts were procured from donation after brain death (DBD), and transplanted alone, they were rejected within 19-45 days. Here, we investigated whether donor brain death with or without allograft ischemia would also prevent tolerance induction in kidney or heart/kidney recipients. Four kidney recipients treated with 12 days of calcineurin inhibition received organs from donors rendered brain dead for 4 hours. Six heart/kidney recipients also treated with calcineurin inhibition received organs from donors rendered brain dead for 4 hours, 8 hours, or 4 hours with 4 additional hours of cold storage. In contrast to lung allograft recipients, all isolated kidney or heart/kidney recipients that received organs from DBD donors achieved long-term survival (>100 days) without histologic evidence of rejection. Proinflammatory cytokine gene expression was upregulated in lungs and hearts, but not kidney allografts, after brain death. These data suggest that the deleterious effects of brain death and ischemia on tolerance induction are organ-specific, which has implications for the application of tolerance to clinical transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The superior cervical ganglion and inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve can mimic pathologic retropharyngeal lymph nodes. We studied the cross-sectional anatomy of the superior cervical ganglion and inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve to evaluate how they can be differentiated from the retropharyngeal lymph nodes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study consists of 2 parts. Cohort 1 concerned the signal intensity of routine neck MR imaging with 2D sequences, apparent diffusion coefficient, and contrast enhancement of the superior cervical ganglion compared with lymph nodes with or without metastasis in 30 patients. Cohort 2 used 3D neurography to assess the morphology and spatial relationships of the superior cervical ganglion, inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve, and the retropharyngeal lymph nodes in 50 other patients. RESULTS All superior cervical ganglions had homogeneously greater enhancement and lower signal on diffusion-weighted imaging than lymph nodes. Apparent diffusion coefficient values of the superior cervical ganglion (1.80 ± 0.28 × 10-3mm2/s) were significantly higher than normal and metastatic lymph nodes (0.86 ± 0.10 × 10-3mm2/s, P < .001, and 0.73 ± 0.10 × 10-3mm2/s, P < .001). Ten and 13 of 60 superior cervical ganglions were hypointense on T2-weighted images and had hyperintense spots on both T1- and T2-weighted images, respectively. The latter was considered fat tissue. The largest was the superior cervical ganglion, followed in order by the retropharyngeal lymph node and the inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve (P < .001 to P = .004). The highest at vertebral level was the retropharyngeal lymph nodes, followed, in order, by the inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve and the superior cervical ganglion (P < .001 to P = .001). The retropharyngeal lymph node, superior cervical ganglion, and inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve formed a line from anteromedial to posterolateral. CONCLUSIONS The superior cervical ganglion and the inferior ganglion of the vagus nerve can be almost always differentiated from retropharyngeal lymph nodes on MR imaging by evaluating the signal, size, and position.

Abstract
We investigate the relation between quadrics and their Christoffel duals on the one hand, and certain zero mean curvature surfaces and their Gauss maps on the other hand. To study the relation between timelike minimal surfaces and the Christoffel duals of 1-sheeted hyperboloids we introduce para-holomorphic elliptic functions. The curves of type change for real isothermic surfaces of mixed causal type turn out to be aligned with the real curvature line net.

Abstract
The first elastic electron scattering has been successfully performed at the self-confining radioactive-isotope ion target (SCRIT) facility, the world's first electron scattering facility for SCRIT technique achieved high luminosity (over 10^{27} cm^{-2} s^{-1}, sufficient for determining the nuclear shape) with only 10^{8} target ions. While ^{132}Xe used in this time as a target is a stable isotope, the charge density distribution was first extracted from the momentum transfer distributions of the scattered electrons by comparing the results with those calculated by a phase shift calculation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Injuries to the medial meniscus (MM) posterior root lead to accelerated cartilage degeneration of the knee. An anatomic placement of the MM posterior root attachment is considered to be critical in transtibial pullout repair of the medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT). However, tibial tunnel creation at the anatomic attachment of the MM posterior root is technically difficult using a conventional aiming device. The aim of this study was to compare two aiming guides. We hypothesized that a newly-developed guide, specifically designed, creates the tibial tunnel at an adequate position rather than a conventional device. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-six patients underwent transtibial pullout repairs. Tibial tunnel creation was performed using the Multi-use guide (8 cases) or the PRT guide that had a narrow twisting/curving shape (18 cases). Three-dimensional computed tomography images of the tibial surface were evaluated using the Tsukada's measurement method postoperatively. Expected anatomic center of the MM posterior root attachment and tibial tunnel center were evaluated using the percentage-based posterolateral location on the tibial surface. Percentage distance between anatomic center and tunnel center was calculated. RESULTS Anatomic center of the MM posterior root footprint located at a position of 78.5% posterior and 39.4% lateral. Both tunnels were anteromedial but tibial tunnel center located at a more favorable position in the PRT group: percentage distance was significantly smaller in the PRT guide group (8.7%) than in the Multi-use guide group (13.1%). DISCUSSION The PRT guide may have great advantage to achieve a more anatomic location of the tibial tunnel in MMPRT pullout repair. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Dental arch morphology and tooth position are affected by lip-closing force (LCF). This study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the relationships between the horizontal or vertical balance of the LCF generated during maximum voluntary pursing-like movements and dental arch length (DAL) or width (DAW) or the lingual inclination of the upper or lower 1st molars (LIUM, LILM) in patients with Angle Class I malocclusion. Sixteen subjects with Angle Class I malocclusion (median age: 23·4 ± 5·9 years) who had never undergone orthodontic treatment were randomly selected. LCF was measured in eight directions during maximum voluntary pursing-like lip-closing movements. Dental arch models were scanned and analysed to obtain DAW, DAL, LIUM and LILM measurements. Mandibular deviation was measured on posteroanterior cephalograms. A significant negative correlation was detected between maxillary DAL and upper LCF. Maxillary DAL, DAW and the DAL/DAW ratio displayed significant negative correlations with total LCF and upper LCF. However, no significant correlations were detected between any mandibular dental arch morphological parameter and LCF. The difference in the LIUM between the deviation and non-deviation sides exhibited a significant positive correlation with the difference in upper LCF between the deviation and non-deviation sides and was significantly negatively correlated with the difference in lower LCF between the deviation and non-deviation sides. These results suggest that upper LCF is related to maxillary DAL, and the horizontal balance of the LCF of the upper and lower lips is related to the LIUM during pursing-like lip-closing movements in patients with Angle Class I malocclusion.

Abstract
We report probability distributions of the number of secondary ions (SIs) emitted by sub-MeV C60 ion impacts on an organic polymer target and the characterization of their emission processes through the analysis of the distributions. The probability distributions were obtained by analyzing experimental SI counting data obtained by a time-of-flight SI mass spectrometer combined with pulsed primary ion beams, using an analytical model developed to derive the distributions from the experimental data. A series of probability distribution functions was investigated for ion impacts of C60 with sub-MeV energies (0.12-0.54 MeV), which can provide sufficient SIs per impact to determine the functions. Their complicated and undefined SI emission processes were characterized based on the determined functions.

Abstract
AIMS Molecular epidemiological techniques, such as pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), or multilocus sequence typing (MLST) have facilitated our understanding of the transmission routes of nosocomial infections by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, they are time consuming and technically demanding. To perform molecular epidemiological analysis in a standard microbiology laboratory, we aimed to develop a simpler and effective molecular epidemiological technique based on the open-reading frame (ORF) distribution patterns detected by PCR, which we call PCR-based ORF typing (POT). METHODS AND RESULTS Ten ORFs from genomic islets, five ORFs from genomic islands, and the metallo-β-lactamases (MBLs) blaIMP and blaVIM were selected by comparing the whole-genome sequences of different Ps. aeruginosa strains (PAO1, PA7, UCBPP-PA14 and LESB58). These 17 ORFs were detected, along with a Ps. aeruginosa marker, using 9-plex and 10-plex PCR systems. The genotypes in the POT were compared to those obtained by using PFGE and MLST. CONCLUSIONS Using the POT method, molecular epidemiological analyses of Ps. aeruginosa can be completed in 4 h. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Since this method is very easy to perform, even in standard clinical laboratories, it could be a valuable tool for monitoring daily infection control measures.

Abstract
The mass vaccination of dogs against rabies is a highly rational strategy for interrupting the natural transmission of urban rabies. According to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO), the immunization of at least 70% of the total dog population minimizes the risk of endemic rabies. Knowledge of the virus-neutralizing antibody (VNA) level against the rabies virus (RABV) is required to evaluate protective immunity and vaccine coverage of dogs in the field. The rapid focus fluorescent inhibition test (RFFIT) and the fluorescent antibody virus neutralization (FAVN) test are recommended by OIE and WHO to determine the VNA levels in serum. However, these tests are cell culture based and require the use of live viruses and specialized equipment. The rapid neutralizing antibody test (RAPINA) is a novel, immunochromatographic test that uses inactivated virus to estimate the VNA level qualitatively. It is a simple, rapid and inexpensive, although indirect, assay for the detection of VNA levels. The RAPINA has shown good positive and negative predictive values and a high concordance with the RFFIT results. In this study, we compared the performance of the two tests for evaluating the vaccination status of dogs in the Philippines, Thailand and Japan. A total of 1135 dog sera were analysed by the RAPINA and compared to the VNA levels determined by the RFFIT. The overall positive and negative predictive values of the RAPINA were 96.2-99.3% and 84.5-94.8%, respectively, with a concordance (kappa) of 0.946-0.97 among the three countries. The RAPINA results were highly homologous and reproducible among different laboratories. These results suggest that this test is appropriate to survey vaccination coverage in countries with limited resources.

Abstract
The relation between CA1 neurons, fimbria-fornix and cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain was examined with the aid of Acetylcholine esterase (AChE) staining, Woelcke's staining and immunohistochemistry of Choline-acetyl transferase (ChAT). The transected side of the hippocampus was poorly stained by AChE two weeks after the transection, when the ipsilateral medial septum ChAT-positive neurons were reduced, but showed good recovery with AChE six weeks later. Nerve growth factor (NGF) was added at a dose of 10 micrograms/100 microliters immediately after the aspiration, and after that once per week with cisternal puncture. As a result, ipsilateral medial septum ChAT-positive neurons were preserved, but cross innervation with relation to hypertrophy of the cholinergic neurons was not detectable even six weeks after the transection. Furthermore, delayed CA1 neuronal death on the transected side of the hippocampus following occlusion of four vessels for 30 minutes was not detectable two weeks after the operation, although neuronal density was reduced after six weeks. The density of neurons on the transected side of the hippocampus in the CA1 subfield with treated NGF had not decreased significantly six weeks later. Therefore, we suspect that the input from cholinergic fibres must be transported to the hippocampal pyramidal neurons responding to NGF, and it was confirmed that cholinergic deafferentation prevents the delayed neuronal death of CA1 pyramidal neurons during transient ischaemia.

Abstract
In the rat model of middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion, axons originating from the ipsilateral cortical and thalamic neurons are injured by ischaemia. The cortical neurons survive thereafter without retrograde degeneration, but thalamic neurons slowly die because of retrograde degeneration. The fate of these two neurons is remarkably different and may be related to neurotrophic activity induced by ischaemia. We detected ischaemia-related neurotrophic activity, and partially purified the factor. Tissue samples were obtained from the cortex adjacent to the infarction and contralateral corresponding site at 4, 8 and 12 days after occlusion of the MCA. They were homogenated with a culture medium and ultracentrifuged. The supernatant was obtained and used for neurotrophic assay. Foetal cortical neurons were obtained from 17 days rat embryo and cultured. Neurotrophic activity was assayed by applying tissue extract to the culture medium. Application of periischaemic cortical extract obtained at 8 and 12 days after ischaemia improved neuronal survival by 50% and 200% as compared to contralateral cortical extract, respectively. The activity was not detectable at 4 days after ischaemia. The neurotrophic activity disappeared by heating the extract at 90 degrees C for 10 min. We fractionated the extract by saturated ammonium sulphate precipitation, followed by gel-filtered with Superose 12 column. The neurotrophic activity was detected in the precipitation of 30 to 60% saturation fraction of ammonium sulphate. With gel-filtration we separated neurotrophic activity in several fractions, which included marker proteins of 8, 22 and 30 kilodaltons. The activities were only detected in the lesioned side but not in the contralateral side.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
