Abstract
As an essential micronutrient, selenium deficiency is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. The heart is continuously beating to deliver blood to the entire body, and this requires a high amount of energy. An adult heart normally obtains 50-70% of its adenosine 5'-triphosphate from fatty acid β-oxidation. An increase in fatty acid oxidation activity induces the generation of larger amounts of by-products (reactive oxygen species, ROS) from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidases play a critical role in the removal of these ROS, especially organic hydroperoxides, from the heart. The definitive transport and/or detailed metabolic pathways from the selenium-source compounds to the selenoproteins in the heart still remain unclear. We explored the selenium-binding proteins in a rat cardiac cell lysate using its reactive metabolic intermediate, selenotrisulfide (STS), and MALDI TOF-mass spectrometry. Several proteins with a free cysteine (Cys) thiol were found to be reactive with STS through a thiol-exchange reaction. The most distinctive Cys-containing protein in the cardiac cell lysate was identified as myoglobin (Mb) from a rat protein database search and tryptic fragmentation experiments. When separately examined in selenium adequate rats, selenium-binding to the cardiac Mb was verified using selenium-specific fluorometry. Cardiac Mb is thought to participate in the selenium metabolic pathway in the heart.

Abstract
Niboshi is a commonly used foodstuff that is processed from Japanese anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) in Japanese cuisine. It was previously demonstrated that Niboshi and its water extract contained highly bioavailable selenium for selenium deficient mice. In this study, we assessed the selenium bioavailability from the extract of the Niboshi, using cultured cells. The activity of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (GPx) of rat dorsal ganglion cells and human cervical carcinoma cells incubated with selenium from the Niboshi extract was over 2 times of that of the extract-free control cells and comparable to that of cells incubated with selenious acid of the same selenium concentration. These results suggest that selenium from the Niboshi extract was utilized for synthesis of the selenoprotein. Such in vitro selenium bioavailability was consistent with our previous results of in vivo assessment in mice.

Abstract
GluN2B-containing NMDA receptors (NMDARs) play fundamental roles in learning and memory, although they are also associated with various brain disorders. In this study, we synthesized and evaluated three 11 C-labeled N-benzyl amidine derivatives 2-[11 C]methoxybenzyl) cinnamamidine ([11 C]CBA), N-(2-[11 C]methoxybenzyl)-2-naphthamidine ([11 C]NBA), and N-(2-[11 C]methoxybenzyl)quinoline-3-carboxamidine ([11 C]QBA) as PET radioligands for these receptors. The 11 C-benzyl amidines were synthesized via conventional methylation of corresponding des-methyl precursors with [11 C]CH3 I. In vitro binding characteristics were examined in brain sagittal sections using various GluN2B modulators and off-target ligands. Further, in vivo brain distribution studies were performed in normal mice. The 11 C-labeled benzyl amidines showed high-specific binding to the GluN2B subunit at in vitro. In particular, the quinoline derivative [11 C]QBA had the best binding properties in terms of high-brain localization to GluN2B-rich regions and specificity to the GluN2B subunit. Conversely, these 11 C-radioligands showed the brain distributions were inconsistent with GluN2B expression in biodistribution experiments. The majority of the radiolabeled compounds were identified as metabolized forms of which amido derivatives seemed to be the major species. Although these 11 C-ligands had high-specific binding to the GluN2B subunit, significant improvement in metabolic stability is necessary for successful positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of the GluN2B subunit of NMDARs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The current study aimed to compare cytology using SurePath® (SP)-LBC and biliary tissue histology (BTH) for the diagnosis of biliary disease. METHODS Between January 2014 and December 2016, 57 patients underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for the diagnosis of biliary disease. Biliary cytological samples were processed using SP-LBC and subsequently BTH was performed. A final diagnosis was confirmed by surgery (23 malignant cases) and clinical follow-up (34 benign and malignant cases): 18 extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma; 17 intrahepatic/hilar cholangiocarcinoma (intra/H-CC); eight other malignant disease; and 14 benign biliary disease. The diagnoses made using SP-LBC and BTH were classified into four categories: (1) benign; (2) indeterminate; (3) suspicious for malignancy/malignant; and (4) inadequate. In addition, diagnostic accuracy was compared between SP-LBC and BTH. RESULTS Although 23% (13/57) of BTH samples were classified as inadequate, all SP-LBC cases were classified as adequate. Among 43 malignant cases, 11 normal, four indeterminate and 28 suspicious for malignancy/malignant were found using SP-LBC (26%, 9% and 65%, respectively), in contrast to 10 inadequate, nine normal, 10 indeterminate and 14 suspicious for malignancy/malignant observed using BTH (23%, 21%, 23%, and 33%, respectively). The identification of malignant cells was strikingly different between SP-LBC and BTH. Furthermore, limited to intra/H-CC, accuracy was significantly higher using SP-LBC than using BTH (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS SP-LBC of the biliary tract is a useful and reliable method for diagnosing biliary malignant disease and has an advantage over BTH for detecting malignant cells and accurately diagnosing intra/H-CC.

Abstract
Survivin, overexpressed in most cancers, is associated with poor prognosis and resistance to radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Herein, we report the synthesis of three 3-phenethyl-2-indolinone derivatives and their application as in vivo imaging agents for survivin. Of these, 3-(2-(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-yl)-2-oxoethyl)-3-hydroxy-5- iodoindolin-2-one (IPI-1) showed the highest binding affinity (Kd = 68.3 nM) to recombinant human survivin, as determined by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). In vitro studies demonstrated that the [125I]IPI-1 binding in survivin-positive MDA-MB-231 cells was significantly higher than that in survivin-negative MCF-10A cells. In addition, uptake of [125I]IPI-1 by MDA-MB-231 cells decreased in a dose-dependent manner in the presence of the high-affinity survivin ligand S12; this is indicative of specific binding of [125I]IPI-1 to cellular survivin protein in vitro. Biodistribution studies in MDA-MB-231 tumor-bearing mice demonstrated the moderate uptake of [125I]IPI-1 in the tumor tissue (1.37% ID/g) at 30 min that decreased to 0.32% ID/g at 180 min. Co-injection of S12 (2.5 mg/kg) slightly reduced tumor uptake and the tumor/muscle ratio of [125I]IPI-1. Although further structural modifications are necessary to improve pharmacokinetic properties, our results indicate that PI derivatives may be useful as tumor-imaging probes targeting survivin.

Abstract
In this study, we developed selenoprotein L-inspired nano-vesicular peroxidase mimics based on amphiphilic diselenides. Selenocystine (SeCyst) was used as the starting material for the synthesis of four liposomal membrane-compatible diselenide derivatives (R-Se-Se-R') with two hydrophobic tails and a polar part. The diselenide derivatives were successfully incorporated into the phosphatidylcholine (PC)-based nano-vesicular scaffold. The results of the particle diameter and zeta-potential measurements suggested that the functional diselenide moiety was placed around the outer surface, not in the hydrophobic interior, of the liposomal membrane structures. The GPx-like catalytic activity of the diselenide/PC liposomes was determined by the conventional NADPH method using glutathione as the reducing substrate. For three peroxide substrates, i.e., hydrogen peroxide, organic tert-butyl hydroperoxide and cummen hydroperoxide, the cationic property-possessing diselenide derivatives in the PC-based liposomes resulted in a higher catalytic activity in comparison to electrically neutral and anionic derivatives. Overall, the diselenide derivatives at the surface of a liposomal colloidal scaffold could exert a GPx-like catalytic activity in physiological aqueous media.

Abstract
Selenium is an essential trace element for humans and animals. Fish and shellfish are known to be rich in selenium and suppose to be an effective selenium source. In this study, we characterized the selenium species in the Shijimi clam (Corbicula japonica), which is a typical clam eaten in Japan. The Shijimi clam contains a relatively high concentration of selenium (3.5 µg-selenium/g-dry Shijimi). Approximately 30% of the total selenium in the Shijimi clam meat was extractable with water, while selenium in the Shijimi clam was hardly extracted with ethanol, chloroform and hexane. Based on an ultrafiltration study, the molecular mass of the major selenium species in the Shijimi water-extract was estimated to be less than 5000. Because amphoteric selenium species were contained in the Shijimi water-extract, which was indicated by ion-exchange chromatographic separation, an ion-pair reagent was utilized to extract the ionic selenium species into an organic solvent. A matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) time of flight (TOF)-mass spectrometric analysis revealed the selenium isotopic pattern involving one selenium atom in a molecule with the 80Se molecular ion peak at m/z 534. This selenium species was mainly found in the visceral part of the Shijimi clam by imaging mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Weyl fermions have been observed as three-dimensional, gapless topological excitations in weakly correlated, inversion-symmetry-breaking semimetals. However, their realization in spontaneously time-reversal-symmetry-breaking phases of strongly correlated materials has so far remained hypothetical. Here, we report experimental evidence for magnetic Weyl fermions in Mn3Sn, a non-collinear antiferromagnet that exhibits a large anomalous Hall effect, even at room temperature. Detailed comparison between angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveals significant bandwidth renormalization and damping effects due to the strong correlation among Mn 3d electrons. Magnetotransport measurements provide strong evidence for the chiral anomaly of Weyl fermions-namely, the emergence of positive magnetoconductance only in the presence of parallel electric and magnetic fields. Since weak magnetic fields (approximately 10 mT) are adequate to control the distribution of Weyl points and the large fictitious fields (equivalent to approximately a few hundred T) produced by them in momentum space, our discovery lays the foundation for a new field of science and technology involving the magnetic Weyl excitations of strongly correlated electron systems such as Mn3Sn.

Abstract
Neuroblastoma is a vascularized pediatric tumor derived from neural crest stem cells that displays vasculogenic mimicry and can express a number of stemness markers, such as SOX2 and NANOG. Tumor relapse is the major cause of succumbing to this disease, and properties attributed to cancer stem-like cells (CSLC), such as drug-resistance and cell plasticity, seem to be the key mechanisms. However, the lack of controllable models that recapitulate the features of human neuroblastoma limits our understanding of the process and impedes the development of new therapies. In response to these limitations, we engineered a perfusable, vascularized in vitro model of three-dimensional human neuroblastoma to study the effects of retinoid therapy on tumor vasculature and drug-resistance. METHODS The in vitro model of neuroblastoma was generated using cell-sheet engineering and cultured in a perfusion bioreactor. Firstly, we stacked three cell sheets containing SKNBE(2) neuroblastoma cells and HUVEC. Then, a vascular bed made of fibrin, collagen I and HUVEC cells was placed onto a collagen-gel base with 8 microchannels. After gelling, the stacked cell sheets were placed on the vascular bed and cultured in the perfusion bioreactor (perfusion rate: 0.5 mL/min) for 4 days. Neuroblastoma models were treated with 10μM isotretionin in single daily doses for 5 days. RESULTS The bioengineered model recapitulated vasculogenic mimicry (vessel-like structure formation and tumor-derived endothelial cells-TECs), and contained CSLC expressing SOX2 and NANOG. Treatment with Isotretinoin destabilized vascular networks but failed to target vasculogenic mimicry and augmented populations of CSLCs expressing high levels of SOX2. Our results suggest that CSLCs can transdifferentiate into drug resistant CD31+-TECs, and reveal the presence of an intermediate state STEC (stem tumor-derived endothelial cell) expressing both SOX2 and CD31. CONCLUSION Our results reveal some roles of SOX2 in drug resistance and tumor relapse, and suggest that SOX2 could be a therapeutic target in neuroblastoma.

Abstract
Gallium-68 (68Ga) is a positron emitter for clinical positron emission tomography (PET) applications that can be produced by a 68Ge/68Ga generator without cyclotron. However, commercially available 68Ge/68Ga generator systems require multiple steps for the preparation of 68Ga radiopharmaceuticals and are sometimes plagued by metallic impurities in the 68Ga eluent. We developed a 68Ge/68Ga generator system using polysaccharide-based adsorbents and direct application of the generator-eluted 68Ga-citrate to PET imaging of tropical infectious diseases. N-Methylglucamine (MG) as a 68Ge-adsorbing unit (Sepha-MGs) was introduced to a series of Sephadex G-10, G-15, G-25, G-50, and G-75. In the batch method, over 97% of the 68Ge in the solution was adsorbed onto the Sepha-MG series within 15 min. In particular, 68Ge was effectively adsorbed on the Sepha(15)-MG packed columns and 70-80% of the 68Ga was eluted by 1 mL of 0.1 M trisodium citrate with low 68Ge contamination (<0.001%). The chemical form of the generator-eluted 68Ga solution was identified as 68Ga-citrate. In PET studies, affected regions in mice infected with Leishmania and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus were clearly visualized using the 68Ga-citrate. Sepha-MGs are useful adsorbents for 68Ge/68Ga generator systems with high 68Ga elution efficiency and minimal 68Ge breakthrough. These results indicated that eluted 68Ga-citrate can be directly used for PET imaging of infectious sites in mice. This novel generator system may be useful for straightforward PET imaging of infection in clinical practice.

Abstract
Long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) frequently produces morphological and functional changes of the peritoneum, making continuation of PD difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate peritoneal injury at an early stage and develop appropriate therapies. The aims of the present study were to evaluate peritoneal injury at an early stage and assess a drug for prevention of peritoneal injury using our previously developed novel evaluation method. Peritoneal injury was induced in model animals by intraperitoneal injection of methylglyoxal (MGO) for 1 to 5 consecutive days or chlorhexidine digluconate (CG) for 1 to 14 consecutive days. Tetramethylrhodamine-dextran (RD)-10 and fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FD)-2000 were then injected into the peritoneal cavity and recovered after 120 min to evaluate peritoneal injury. The ratio of the concentration of RD-10 to FD-2000 (RD-10/FD-2000 ratio) significantly decreased in animals that had been treated with MGO or CG for 1 d. Moreover, the RD-10/FD-2000 ratio significantly increased in CG- and thalidomide-treated animals. The RD-10/FD-2000 ratio can be used to evaluate peritoneal injury at an early stage and assess the drug efficacy of thalidomide for prevention of peritoneal injury. This study will contribute to the development of therapeutic treatments for peritoneal injury.
