Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been few reports on the management of intra-abdominal drains after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We retrospectively investigated changes in ascitic data related to management of an intra-abdominal drain. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between March 2008 and June 2009, we performed 28 LDLT. On the first and the fifth postoperative day (POD) after LDLT, we examined the number of ascites cells and cell fractions as well as performed biochemical examination and cultures. RESULTS The day of removal of the drain for massive ascites (10 mL/kg/d or more) was 14.2 ± 5.4 POD; for less than 10 mL/kg/d it was 8.7 ± 1.9 POD (P < .001). Nine patients were ascites culture positive; long-term placement of the drain caused an infection in two patients. CONCLUSIONS When the amount of ascitic fluid on the fifth POD after LDLT was small, it was important to assess the properties of the ascitic fluid because of the possibility of a drain infection or of poor drainage. If the ascitic neutrophil count is less than 250/mm(3) or the examined ascites is normal, intra-abdominal drains should be removed.

Abstract
The prognosis of liver transplantation for neonates with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) continues to be extremely poor, especially in patients whose body weight is less than 3 kg. To address this problem, we have developed a safe living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) modality for neonates. We performed LDLTs with segment 2 monosubsegment (S2) grafts for three neonatal FHF. The recipient age and body weight at LDLT were 13-27 days, 2.59-2.84 kg, respectively. S2 or reduced S2 grafts (93-98 g) obtained from their fathers were implanted using temporary portacaval shunt. The recipient portal vein was reconstructed at a more distal site, such as the umbilical portion, to have the graft liver move freely during hepatic artery (HA) reconstruction. The recipient operation time and bleeding were 11 h 58 min-15 h 27 min and 200-395 mL, respectively. The graft-to-recipient weight ratio was 3.3-3.8% and primary abdominal wall closure was possible in all cases. Although hepatic artery thrombosis occurred in one case, all cases survived with normal growth. Emergency LDLT with S2 grafts weighing less than 100 g can save neonates with FHF whose body weight is less than 3 kg. This LDLT modality using S2 grafts could become a new option for neonates and very small infants requiring LT.

Abstract
Novae are thermonuclear explosions on a white dwarf surface fueled by mass accreted from a companion star. Current physical models posit that shocked expanding gas from the nova shell can produce x-ray emission, but emission at higher energies has not been widely expected. Here, we report the Fermi Large Area Telescope detection of variable gamma-ray emission (0.1 to 10 billion electron volts) from the recently detected optical nova of the symbiotic star V407 Cygni. We propose that the material of the nova shell interacts with the dense ambient medium of the red giant primary and that particles can be accelerated effectively to produce pi(0) decay gamma-rays from proton-proton interactions. Emission involving inverse Compton scattering of the red giant radiation is also considered and is not ruled out.

Abstract
We report on the first Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) measurements of the so-called "extragalactic" diffuse gamma-ray emission (EGB). This component of the diffuse gamma-ray emission is generally considered to have an isotropic or nearly isotropic distribution on the sky with diverse contributions discussed in the literature. The derivation of the EGB is based on detailed modeling of the bright foreground diffuse Galactic gamma-ray emission, the detected LAT sources, and the solar gamma-ray emission. We find the spectrum of the EGB is consistent with a power law with a differential spectral index gamma = 2.41 +/- 0.05 and intensity I(>100 MeV) = (1.03 +/- 0.17) x 10(-5) cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1), where the error is systematics dominated. Our EGB spectrum is featureless, less intense, and softer than that derived from EGRET data.

Abstract
Many mathematical models for gene regulatory networks have been proposed. In this study, the authors study attractors in probabilistic Boolean networks (PBNs). They study the expected number of singleton attractors in a PBN and show that it is (2 - (1/2)(L-1))(n), where n is the number of nodes in a PBN and L is the number of Boolean functions assigned to each node. In the case of L=2, this number is simplified into 1.5(n). It is an interesting result because it is known that the expected number of singleton attractors in a Boolean network (BN) is 1. Then, we present algorithms for identifying singleton and small attractors and perform both theoretical and computational analyses on their average case time complexities. For example, the average case time complexities for identifying singleton attractors of a PBN with L=2 and L=3 are O(1.601(n)) and O(1.763(n)), respectively. The results of computational experiments suggest that these algorithms are much more efficient than the naive algorithm that examines all possible 2(n) states.

Abstract
The diffuse galactic gamma-ray emission is produced by cosmic rays (CRs) interacting with the interstellar gas and radiation field. Measurements by the Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) instrument on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory indicated excess gamma-ray emission greater, > or approximately equal to 1 GeV relative to diffuse galactic gamma-ray emission models consistent with directly measured CR spectra (the so-called "EGRET GeV excess"). The Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument on the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope has measured the diffuse gamma-ray emission with improved sensitivity and resolution compared to EGRET. We report on LAT measurements for energies 100 MeV to 10 GeV and galactic latitudes 10 degrees < or = |b| < or = 20 degrees. The LAT spectrum for this region of the sky is well reproduced by a diffuse galactic gamma-ray emission model that is consistent with local CR spectra and inconsistent with the EGRET GeV excess.

Abstract
We report the detection of gamma-ray emissions above 200 megaelectron volts at a significance level of 17sigma from the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, using data obtained with the Large Area Telescope onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Globular clusters are expected to emit gamma rays because of the large populations of millisecond pulsars that they contain. The spectral shape of 47 Tucanae is consistent with gamma-ray emission from a population of millisecond pulsars. The observed gamma-ray luminosity implies an upper limit of 60 millisecond pulsars present in 47 Tucanae.

Abstract
Pulsars are rapidly rotating, highly magnetized neutron stars emitting radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum. Although there are more than 1800 known radio pulsars, until recently only seven were observed to pulse in gamma rays, and these were all discovered at other wavelengths. The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) makes it possible to pinpoint neutron stars through their gamma-ray pulsations. We report the detection of 16 gamma-ray pulsars in blind frequency searches using the LAT. Most of these pulsars are coincident with previously unidentified gamma-ray sources, and many are associated with supernova remnants. Direct detection of gamma-ray pulsars enables studies of emission mechanisms, population statistics, and the energetics of pulsar wind nebulae and supernova remnants.

Abstract
Designed as a high-sensitivity gamma-ray observatory, the Fermi Large Area Telescope is also an electron detector with a large acceptance exceeding 2 m;{2} sr at 300 GeV. Building on the gamma-ray analysis, we have developed an efficient electron detection strategy which provides sufficient background rejection for measurement of the steeply falling electron spectrum up to 1 TeV. Our high precision data show that the electron spectrum falls with energy as E-3.0 and does not exhibit prominent spectral features. Interpretations in terms of a conventional diffusive model as well as a potential local extra component are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Recent analyses of biological and artificial networks have revealed a common network architecture, called scale-free topology. The origin of the scale-free topology has been explained by using growth and preferential attachment mechanisms. In a cell, proteins are the most important carriers of function, and are composed of domains as elemental units responsible for the physical interaction between protein pairs. Here, we propose a model for protein-protein interaction networks that reveals the emergence of two possible topologies. We show that depending on the number of randomly selected interacting domain pairs, the connectivity distribution follows either a scale-free distribution, even in the absence of the preferential attachment, or a normal distribution. This new approach only requires an evolutionary model of proteins (nodes) but not for the interactions (edges). The edges are added by means of random interaction of domain pairs. As a result, this model offers a new mechanistic explanation for understanding complex networks with a direct biological interpretation because only protein structures and their functions evolved through genetic modifications of amino acid sequences. These findings are supported by numerical simulations as well as experimental data.
