Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral aneurysms have significantly different rupture rates depending on their size and location. The mechanisms underlying these differences are unclear. We examined whether anatomic rupture risks are dependent on the hemodynamic environment on the aneurysmal surface. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patient-specific geometries and flow rates of 84 cerebral aneurysms (42 anterior communicating artery and 42 MCA aneurysms) were acquired from our clinical study, the Computational Fluid Dynamics Analysis of Blood Flow in Cerebral Aneurysms: Prospective Observational Study. Pulsatile blood flow was simulated to calculate hemodynamic metrics with special attention to wall shear stress magnitude and temporal disturbance. Multivariate analyses were performed to identify associations between hemodynamic metrics and known rupture predictors (age, sex, hypertension, smoking history, location, and size). RESULTS All the wall shear stress magnitude-based metrics showed a significant negative association with size and location (P < .03), but not other risk factors. All the wall shear stress disturbance-based metrics were significantly related to size (P < .001). Only normalized transverse wall shear stress, a metric for multidirectional wall shear stress disturbance, was related to location (P = .03). The normalized transverse wall shear stress had the highest odds ratio for location and size among hemodynamic metrics (odds ratios, 1.275 and 1.579; 95% confidence intervals, 1.020-1.693 and 1.238-2.219, respectively). Among the arterial geometric parameters, the aspect ratio had the second strongest association with all hemodynamic metrics, after our newly proposed aspect ratio-asphericity index. CONCLUSIONS The differences in aneurysm rupture rates according to size and location may reflect differences in hemodynamic environments in qualitatively different ways. An enhanced multidirectional wall shear stress disturbance may be especially associated with aneurysm rupture.

Abstract
Objectives The present study investigated subjective happiness in Japanese adults and offers basic knowledge for future studies. In addition, how subjective happiness varies in relation to certain demographic variables, such as gender and age, as well as factors that influence this variability, are examined.Methods A total of 2,000 Japanese people (1,000 females and 1,000 males) over the age of 20 completed an anonymous self-report internet survey. There were approximately the same number of participants in each of six age groups ranging from the 20s to 70s. How Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) scores were related to various demographic variables, including gender and age, as well as happiness, life satisfaction, and stress response, were analyzed.Results The validity of the SHS was supported by positive correlations with happiness and life satisfaction scores and negative correlation with stress response scores. The results also showed that females had higher SHS scores than males, and this gender difference was distinctive, especially among young adults. In addition, there was a U-shaped change in SHS score by age. That is, subjective happiness dropped with age, but started increasing again after the 50s. The same findings were reconfirmed by an additional survey one year later. Moreover, those with a spouse showed higher SHS scores than unmarried participants. Lastly, SHS scores were low among those whose highest education was junior high school and those who lived alone, although the limitations of sampling bias should be considered.Conclusion The SHS is an internationally accepted measure of subjective happiness consisting of only four items and can easily be used in public health research and practice. The current study offers basic information regarding SHS scores as well as subjective happiness in Japanese adults of different age groups and genders. The findings of the present study clearly indicate higher levels of subjective happiness among older age groups than younger ones, those with a spouse than those without a spouse, and females than males. As many studies conducted in other cultures have shown no such gender difference, further cross-cultural comparison studies are needed to clarify this discrepancy. The SHS as an indicator of personal well-being can be strongly expected to show extended utility in the future.

Abstract
This policy statement, which is the sixth of a series of documents prepared by the Asia-Oceania Federation of Organizations for Medical Physics (AFOMP) Professional Development Committee, gives guidance on how medical physicists in AFOMP countries should conduct themselves in an ethical manner in their professional practice (Ng et al. in Australas Phys Eng Sci Med 32:175-179, 2009; Round et al. in Australas Phys Eng Sci Med 33:7-10, 2010; Round et al. in Australas Phys Eng Sci Med 34:303-307, 2011; Round et al. in Australas Phys Eng Sci Med 35:393-398, 2012; Round et al. in Australas Phys Eng Sci Med 38:217-221, 2015). It was developed after the ethics policies and codes of conducts of several medical physics societies and other professional organisations were studied. The policy was adopted at the Annual General Meeting of AFOMP held in Jaipur, India, in November 2017.

Abstract
We conducted chronic experiments to determine how to treat profound biventricular failure systematically with ventricular assist devices (VADs) and to analyze the factors that affect prognoses for this condition. Anoxic arrest was induced in ten goats by aortic cross-clamping under normothermic conditions (38.5° C) for 30 (n= 3), 45 (n= 1), and 60 (n= 6) minutes. A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was implanted in eight animals, and a biventricular assist device (BVAD) was used in two. Three goats — two of which had undergone anoxic arrest for 30 minutes and one for 60 minutes — whose right atrial pressure (RAP) was approximately 18 mm Hg during the acute stage, recovered in two to three weeks, and the pumps were successfully removed. Pathological findings in these animals showed scattered areas of surviving myocardium, with connective tissue replacing the degenerated myocardium. The remaining five LVAD goats required higher RAPs to maintain circulation and died from various causes. Maintaining circulation without volume loading, even in the presence of arrhythmias, was easier with the BVAD. One BVAD animal that underwent 45 minutes of anoxic arrest recovered from right ventricular failure, and the right pump was removed. The second goat (anoxic arrest, 60 min) on the BVAD failed to recover. Autopsy of the myocardium revealed a thin ventricular wall. Our studies show that the use of VADs allows time for a failing heart to recover, but the potential for healing is affected by the severity of myocardial damage prior to VAD application. We believe that although LVADs can maintain circulation with high RAPs, the use of BVADs might be more beneficial for maintaining systemic organ function in cases of persistent biventricular failure.

Abstract
The authors have developed a new artificial dental implant and evaluated it in a dog model in terms of its potential to produce: I) regeneration of junctional epithelium; II) regeneration and attachment of connective tissue. The implants were constructed from allo-teeth. We removed the cell components from the periodontal ligaments of these teeth with a detergent (1% TritonX-100); the remaining acellular periodontal ligament acted as an extracellular matrix upon which regeneration and attachment could proceed. We placed 10 of these implants in the just-extracted sites of three beagle dogs. We observed regeneration of both junctional epithelium and connective tissue at all implant sites after 3 months. The connective tissue was attached in all cases. Use of the acellular periodontal ligament as an extracellular matrix may facilitate regeneration of host periodontal ligament tissue, thus contributing to recovery of host immunological defense and long-term oral function.

Abstract
We have already reported “del” successful carinal reconstruction of the trachea with an observation period of 1 – 2 years. In this study, we evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the reconstruction after 5-years of follow-up. The Y-shaped Marlex® mesh tube was reinforced with a polypropylene spiral and coated with atelocollagen made from porcine skin. The prosthesis was 60 mm long with an outer diameter of 18 mm. Replacement of the tracheobronchial bifurcation was preformed through a right thoracotomy in a beagle dog. Bronchoscopical examination and sampling of the tracheal epithelium was performed periodically to check the function of cilia. The implanted prothesis was promptly infiltrated by the surrounding connective tissue and completely incorporated by the host trachea and bronchus. Bronchoscopically, sufficient epithelization was confirmed from the upper to the lower site of anastomosis. After 5 years neither stenosis nor dehiscence was observed. In spite of there being mesh-exposure at the luminal surface, the dog had no clinical symptoms until sacrifice for pathological examination. The bent frequency of the cilia was maintained within the normal range, indicating “del” functional recovery of the regenerating airway. Our tracheal prosthesis is promising for clinical “del” repair of the tracheobronchial bifurcation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefit of oral ubiquinol-10 supplementation in CFS patients using an open-label study and a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled (RCT) study. Twenty patients with CFS were randomly enrolled in an 8-week open-label oral ubiquinol-10 (150 mg ubiquinol-10/day) study. The patients and the attending physicians were not blinded to the supplementation. Forty-three patients with CFS were randomly assigned to receive either ubiquinol-10 (150 mg/day) or placebo every day for 12 weeks. The patients and the attending physicians were blinded to the supplementation, and a total of 31 patients (N = 17 in the ubiquinol group and 14 in the placebo group) completed the study. The beneficial effects of ubiquinol-10 were observed in the open-label study we conducted prior to the RCT. The RCT results suggest that supplementation with ubiquinol-10 for 12 weeks is effective for improving several CFS symptoms. © 2016 BioFactors, 42(4):431-440, 2016.

Abstract
The aquaporins (AQP) are a family of small integral membrane proteins that work as channels for rapid water transport. In mouse embryos, AQP3, AQP7, and AQP9 were found to play important roles in the pre-implantation development or adaptive cellular response to osmotic stress. In addition, because AQP3, AQP7, and AQP9 permeate not only water but also cryoprotectant, such as glycerol, these AQP thought to be involved in the process of cryopreservation. However, little information is available for AQP in bovine embryos. The understanding of the mechanisms mediated by AQP that embryos utilise to survive during culture and the process of cryopreservation will contribute to development of in vitro culture systems and cryopreservation procedures for bovine embryos. The aims of present study were to clarify the expression status of AQP3, AQP7, and AQP9 in bovine pre-implantation embryos, and to evaluate the expression level of AQP3 in in vivo-derived (IVD) and IVF bovine embryos. For production of IVF embryos, cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC) were aspirated from ovaries collected at a local slaughterhouse. The COC were in vitro matured, fertilized, and then cultured for 7 days. The IVD embryos at early blastocyst (EB) and blastocyst (BC) stage were obtained from donor cows treated with superovulation and AI. In experiment 1, in order to clarify the expression of AQP3, AQP7, and AQP9 mRNA in bovine pre-implantation embryos, total RNA was extracted from pools of 30 IVM oocytes, pools of 15 IVF embryos at 2- to 4-cell, 8- to 16-cell, compaction morula (CM), EB, BC, and expanded blastocyst (ExBC) stage, and RT-PCR was performed followed by agarose gel electrophoresis. In experiment 2, in order to clarify the expression status of AQP3, AQP7, and AQP9 during bovine pre-implantation development after zygotic gene activation, total RNA was extracted from pools of 15 IVF embryos at 8- to 16-cell, CM, EB, BC and ExBC stage (n = 5), and relative quantifications of AQP mRNA were performed using real-time RT-PCR. Data were analysed by Scheffé’s method. In experiment 3, AQP3 transcript levels in single IVD and IVF embryos at EB and BC stages (n = 10) was evaluated by real-time RT-PCR. Data were analysed by Mann-Whitney’s U test. In experiment 1, AQP3 and AQP7 transcripts were detected in IVM oocytes and all stages of embryos. AQP9 mRNA was detected in IVM oocytes and in 2- to 4-cell, 8- to 16 cell, CM, and EB stage embryos, but was not detected in BC and ExBC stage embryos. In experiment 2, AQP3 and AQP7 transcript levels were significantly increased from 8- to 16-cell to CM and EB stage, and significantly decreased from EB to BC and ExBC stages (P < 0.05). AQP9 transcript level was significantly decreased from 8- to 16-cell to CM and EB stage (P < 0.05). In experiment 3, AQP3 transcript level in IVF embryos was significantly lower than that in in vivo embryos at the BC stage (P < 0.05). Our results indicate that AQP3 and AQP7 may have specific roles at morula and EB stage in bovine embryos. In addition, AQP3 expression is influenced by developmental condition of bovine embryos.

Abstract
Inulin, a natural renewable polysaccharide resource produced by various plants in nature, has been reported to possess a significant number of diverse pharmaceutical and food applications. Recently, there has been rapid progress in high-throughput technologies and platforms to assay global mRNA, proteins, metabolites and gut microbiota. In this review, we will describe the current status of utilizing omics technologies of elucidating the impact of inulin and inulin-containing prebiotics at the transcriptome, proteome, metabolome and gut microbiome levels. Although many studies in this review have addressed the impact of inulin comprehensively, these omics technologies only enable us to understand physiological information at each different stage of mRNA, protein, metabolite and gut microbe. We believe that a synergistic approach is vital in order to fully illustrate the intricate beauty behind the relatively modest influence of food factors like inulin on host health.
