Abstract
PURPOSES This study sought to identify any significant predictors of blood loss during pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) among preoperative variables, including the body composition indexes. METHODS The preoperative data of patients undergoing PD were retrospectively reviewed. The objective variable was the percentage of blood loss during PD to the estimated circulating blood volume (proportional blood loss: PBL). The circulating blood volume was estimated using Nadler's formula. The total psoas area, average Hounsfield units of psoas area (psoas muscle density: PMD), and visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue area ratio (VSR) were measured at the third vertebra using preoperative plain computed tomography images. A univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis for PBL were conducted using the preoperative variables. RESULTS A total of 415 patients were analyzed. The median PBL was 24.5%. The PMD (coefficient - 0.267; 95% CI - 0.518, - 0.015), VSR (coefficient 2.719; 95% CI 0.238, 5.201), serum albumin level (coefficient - 8.458; 95% CI - 13.02, - 3.898), neoadjuvant therapy (coefficient 9.605; 95% CI 1.722, 17.49), and prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR, coefficient 38.63; 95% CI 10.94, 66.31) were independently associated with PBL. CONCLUSIONS The preoperative PMD, VSR, serum albumin level, neoadjuvant therapy, and PT-INR independently affected PBL. These factors could therefore be potential targets to reduce blood loss during PD.

Abstract
Abstract
An interlaboratory study of the reproducibility characteristics of a liquid chromatographic method for the determination of fumonisins B1 and B2 in corn was conducted in 11 laboratories in the United States, South Africa, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, and The Netherlands. Each laboratory was supplied with 12 coded, blind duplicates of 6 samples of naturally contaminated corn containing different amounts of fumonisins B1 and B2 . Samples are extracted with methanol-water (3 + 1), extracts are centrifuged, and supernatants are cleaned up on strong-anion-exchange cartridges, which were supplied to participants. Solutions are derivatized with o-phthaldialdehyde, and individual fumonisins are determined by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Quantitation is by comparison with the supplied fumonisin standards. The within-laboratory repeatability was determined by statistical analysis of data after exclusion of outliers. Relative standard deviations for within-laboratory repeatability varied from 7.7 to 25.5% for fumonisin B1 at concentrations between 200 and 2000 ng/g and from 12.5 to 36.8% for fumonisin B2 at concentrations between 70 and 740 ng/g. Relative standard deviations for betweenlaboratory reproducibility varied from 18.0 to 26.7% for fumonisin B1 and from 28.0 to 45.6% for fumonisin B2 at the concentrations mentioned above. These measures of variability indicate that the method is suitable for adoption as an official method provided that the accuracy characteristics are verified collaboratively.

A TRAC-SI Multicenter Trial
Background
Two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (2D-STE) has been reported to be useful for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia by detecting delay in regional myocardial expansion (diastolic stunning) up to many hours after an episode of angina. The aim is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of Left ventricular (LV) diastolic longitudinal, circumferential, transverse and radial strain imaging by STE to detect the presence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with acute chest pain.
Methods
388 consecutive patients with acute chest pain and without wall motion abnormality, who were admitted to an emergency department (ED) at 1 of 12 clinical sites in Japan, were enrolled and underwent 2D-STE at ED. Left ventricular (LV) longitudinal, circumferential, transverse and radial strain values at aortic valve closure (A) and one-third of diastole duration (B) were measured. The strain imaging diastolic index (SI-DI) was value was determined as: (A-B)/A × 100% to assess the LV diastolic strain imaging and was used to identify the regional LV delayed relaxation. All patients underwent coronary CT or coronary angiography to establish the diagnosis of ACS. Clinicians were blinded to the 2D-STE results.
Results
Out of 388 patients, 2D-STE analysis was possible in 358 patients (92%). With assessment of coronary CT or coronary angiography, ACS was diagnosed in 118 patients (33%). 2D-STE was obtained at a mean of 5.3 hours after chest pain episode. SI-DI of longitudinal, circumferential, transverse and radial strain of ischemic segments were significantly lower than those of non-ischemic segments (p value < 0.001), and transverse and radial SI-DI demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy, compared with longitudinal SI-DI (Figure 1). Sensitivity, specificity, and negative predictive value for ACS of transverse SI-DI are 87%, 88%, % and 95%, respectively, using a cut-off value of 63.3.
Conclusion
LV diastolic strain imaging by 2D-STE at ED increase the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy to predict the presence of ACS in patients with chest pain. Compared with longitudinal diastolic strain imaging, transverse diastolic strain imaging is more sensitive marker to detect the myocardial ischemic episode (UMIN000013859).

Bayesian Estimation of CBF Measured by DSC-MRI in Patients with Moyamoya Disease: Comparison with 15O-Gas PET and Singular Value Decomposition. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 2019; 40:1894-1900.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CBF analysis of DSC perfusion using the singular value decomposition algorithm is not accurate in patients with Moyamoya disease. This study compared the Bayesian estimation of CBF against the criterion standard PET and singular value decomposition methods in patients with Moyamoya disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen patients with Moyamoya disease (10 women; 22-52 years of age) were evaluated with both DSC and 15O-gas PET within 60 days. DSC-CBF maps were created using Bayesian analysis and 3 singular value decomposition analyses (standard singular value decomposition, a block-circulant deconvolution method with a fixed noise cutoff, and a block-circulant deconvolution method that adopts an occillating noise cutoff for each voxel according to the strength of noise). Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the Bayesian-CBF and singular value decomposition-CBF methods were performed against 15O-gas PET and compared with each other. RESULTS In qualitative assessments of DSC-CBF maps, Bayesian-CBF maps showed better visualization of decreased CBF on PET (sensitivity = 62.5%, specificity = 100%, positive predictive value = 100%, negative predictive value = 78.6%) than a block-circulant deconvolution method with a fixed noise cutoff and a block-circulant deconvolution method that adopts an oscillating noise cutoff for each voxel according to the strength of noise (P < .03 for all except for specificity). Quantitative analysis of CBF showed that the correlation between Bayesian-CBF and PET-CBF values (ρ = 0.46, P < .001) was similar among the 3 singular value decomposition methods, and Bayesian analysis overestimated true CBF (mean difference, 47.28 mL/min/100 g). However, the correlation between CBF values normalized to the cerebellum was better in Bayesian analysis (ρ = 0.56, P < .001) than in the 3 singular value decomposition methods (P < .02). CONCLUSIONS Compared with previously reported singular value decomposition algorithms, Bayesian analysis of DSC perfusion enabled better qualitative and quantitative assessments of CBF in patients with Moyamoya disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the clinical characteristics and health-related quality of life (HQOL) of elderly patients with pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex (pMAC) disease. OBJECTIVES To evaluate HQOL using the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey and St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and to investigate the predictors of HQOL changes among elderly patients with pMAC disease. METHODS This prospective cohort registry was conducted at Keio University Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, between May 2012 and July 2015 and included 84 patients with pMAC disease aged 75 years who had completed the HQOL questionnaire and 48 patients with pMAC disease who had been followed up and completed the HQOL questionnaire in cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, respectively. RESULTS In cross-sectional analyses, elderly patients with pMAC disease had significantly lower role-physical, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and role/social component scores than the general Japanese elderly population. Analysis of covariance revealed that patients with cavitary lesions had significantly worse physical functioning and SGRQ scores (P < 0.05). Longitudinal analysis showed that under-treatment, short duration of disease and positive sputum smear at baseline were predictors of worse HQOL at 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Elderly patients with pMAC disease have reduced HQOL. Further large studies on HQOL are required to refine the use of this parameter in the treatment of these patients.

Abstract
Background Acute coagulopathy is a well-known predictor of poor outcomes in patients with severe trauma. However, using coagulation and fibrinolytic markers, how one can best predict mortality to find out potential candidates for treatment of coagulopathy remains unclear. This study aimed to determine preferential markers and their optimal cut-off values for mortality prediction. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational study of patients with severe blunt trauma (injury severity score ≥ 16) transferred directly from the scene to emergency departments at two trauma centres in Japan from January 2013 to December 2015. We investigated the impact and optimal cut-off values of initial coagulation (platelet counts, fibrinogen and prothrombin time-international normalised ratio) and a fibrinolytic marker (D-dimer) on 28-day mortality via classification and regression tree (CART) analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed the importance of these markers. Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses were used to examine the prediction accuracy for mortality. Results Totally 666 patients with severe blunt trauma were analysed. CART analysis revealed that the initial discriminator was fibrinogen (cut-off, 130 mg/dL) and the second discriminator was D-dimer (cut-off, 110 μg/mL in the lower fibrinogen subgroup; 118 μg/mL in the higher fibrinogen subgroup). The 28-day mortality was 90.0% (lower fibrinogen, higher D-dimer), 27.8% (lower fibrinogen, lower D-dimer), 27.7% (higher fibrinogen, higher D-dimer) and 3.4% (higher fibrinogen, lower D-dimer). Multivariate logistic regression demonstrated that fibrinogen levels < 130 mg/dL (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 9.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.50–22.60) and D-dimer ≥110 μg/mL (aOR, 5.89; 95% CI, 2.78–12.70) were independently associated with 28-day mortality after adjusting for probability of survival by the trauma and injury severity score (TRISS Ps). Compared with the TRISS Ps alone (0.900; 95% CI, 0.870–0.931), TRISS Ps with fibrinogen and D-dimer yielded a significantly higher area under the curve (0.942; 95% CI, 0.920–0.964; p < 0.001). Conclusions Fibrinogen and D-dimer were the principal markers for stratification of mortality in patients with severe blunt trauma. These markers could function as therapeutic targets because they were significant predictors of mortality, independent from severity of injury.

Abstract
Polymeric micelles, which form through the self-assembly of poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(amino acid) block copolymers, are systemic nanocarriers in targeted cancer therapy. These micelles can encapsulate therapeutic compounds, such as lipophilic substances, charged compounds, and metal complexes, that have characteristics of increased solubility, sustained release, and improved tissue distribution. However, few studies have been conducted on the local distribution of polymeric micelles. Thus, we evaluated the skin penetration pattern of hydrophobic drugs in polymeric micelles. We revealed that improved water solubility by the encapsulation of the hydrophobic drugs indomethacin and resveratrol in polymeric micelles significantly increased the amount of drugs penetrating into the skin. Moreover, polymeric micelles did not enhance the permeability of drugs. Furthermore, although the polymers remained on or in the stratum corneum, the encapsulated drugs gradually moved deeper into the skin. These results indicate that encapsulated hydrophobic drugs in polymeric micelles can penetrate the living cell layer of the skin without bringing about unexpected side effects associated with other ingredients in the formulation. Thus, polymeric micelles for encapsulating hydrophobic drugs can be used for skin applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diphenylarsinic acid (DPAA) intoxication caused by drinking contaminated well water was found in Kamisu, Japan. The symptoms indicated cerebellar-brainstem and temporo-occipital involvement. However, it remains unclear how it affects the human brain. To elucidate the effect of DPAA on the human brain, we analyzed cerebral blood flow (CBF) data after the drinking of DPAA-contaminated water was stopped and investigated the correlation between DPAA exposure level and CBF by single-photon emission computed tomography (CBF-SPECT). METHODS The DPAA-exposed inhabitants (n = 78) were divided into 35 symptomatic and 43 asymptomatic subjects and compared with 38 healthy controls. The DPAA concentration in nails or hair and well water was measured using a high-performance liquid chromatography system and coupled plasma mass spectrometry after adequate extraction treatment. CBF-SPECT data, obtained within 1 year after the drinking of contaminated well water was stopped, were analyzed by statistical parametric mapping. We also examined the relationship between variations in CBF-SPECT signals and variations in DPAA concentrations in the hair or nails of the subjects. RESULTS Compared with control subjects, CBF in symptomatic DPAA-exposed subjects was significantly lower in the occipital lobe, including the cuneus and inferior occipital gyri. The DPAA concentration in the nails or hair of subjects was inversely and significantly related to their CBF. CONCLUSION These data suggest that CBF-SPECT may be useful as a clinical marker to infer the effect of accumulated DPAA on the brain.

Abstract
We propose a differential interference contrast method for cells using hard x-ray Gabor holography and knife-edge filtering in the spatial frequency domain, without relying on beam shearing. A phase object is holographically recorded and reconstructed by computer. Interference between the wavefronts of zeroth order weighted by ejπ/2 in the positive frequency region produces a dark image. Similarly, interference between the wavefronts of the zeroth order weighted by ej3π/2 in the negative frequency region produces a bright image. By adding these two intensity distributions, good quality phase-contrast images of 8-μm-diameter polystyrene beads and human HeLa cells were obtained.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anatomical knowledge of the duodenojejunal flexure is necessary for abdominal surgeries, and also important for physiologic studies about the duodenum. But little is known about the anatomy of this region in mammals. Here, we examined comparative anatomy to understand the anatomical formation of the duodenojejunal flexure in mammals. MATERIALS AND METHODS The areas around the duonenojejunal flexure were ob-served in mouse, rat, dog, pig, and human, and the anatomical structures around the duodenojejunal junction in the animals were compared with those in human. RESULTS The superior and inferior duodenal folds, and the superior and inferior duodenal fossae were identified in all examined humans. In pig, the structures were not clearly identified because the duodenum strongly adhered to the retroperitoneum and to the mesocolon. In mouse, rat, and dog, only the plica duodenocolica, which is regarded as the animal counterpart of the superior duo-denal fold in human, was identified, and other folds or fossae were not observed, probably because the duodenum was not fixed to the parietal peritoneum in those animals. Transection of the plica duodenocolica could return the normally rotated intestine back to the state of non-rotation in rat. CONCLUSIONS This study showed the anatomical similarities and dissimilarities of the duodenojejunal flexure among the mammals. Anatomical knowledge of the area is useful for duodenal and pancreatic surgeries, and for animal studies about the duodenum. (Folia Morphol 2018; 77, 2: 286-292).
