Abstract
Background and objective
Depression is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We have recently shown that repeated social defeat (RSD) precipitates depressive-like behaviorsin apoE−/− mice and exaggerates atherosclerosis development by enhancing neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation (BBRC 2018; 500:490). Here, we investigated the impact of RSD on arterial thrombosis.
Methods and results
Eight-week-old male WT mice were exposed to RSDby housing with a larger CD-1 mouse in a shared home cage. They were subjected to vigorous physical contact daily for 10 consecutive days. Control mice were housed in the same gage without physical contact. After social interaction testto confirm depressive-like behaviors, defeated mice (19 of 31) and control mice (12 of 14) were underwent arterial injury at 10 wks of age. A filter paper saturated with 10% FeCl3was applied on the adventitial surface of left carotid artery for 3 min and analyzed 3 hrs later. The volume of thrombi calculated by summing8–15 frozen cross-sectional images, each separated by 200 μm, was comparable between the 2 groups. However, fibrinogen/fibrin-positive areas in immunofluorescent images were significantly increased in defeated mice (27.8% vs. 48.8%, Control vs. Defeat, P<0.01).The numberof Ly-6G-positive cells in thrombi was markedly higher in defeated mice (144/mm2 vs. 878/mm2, Control vs. Defeat, P<0.05). Further, Ly-6G-positive cells were almost accumulated at the inner surface of injured artery, which were co-localized with neutrophil elastase, Cit-H3, and CD41-positive staining. Treatment with DNase Icompletely diminished the exaggerated fibrin-rich clot formation in defeated miceto a similar extent of control mice (25.7% vs. 22.3%, Control vs. Defeat, P= NS), while the volume of thrombi and number of Ly-6G-positive cells in thrombi were comparable between the 2 groups even afterDNase I treatment. Platelet aggregations induced by ADP or collagen were comparable between the 2 groups, suggesting that NETs formation primarily contributes to the exaggerated fibrin-rich clot formation in defeated mice.
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate for the first time that repeated social defeat enhances fibrin-rich clot formation after arterial injury by enhancing NETs formation, suggesting that NETosis could be a new therapeutic target in depression-related CVD development.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Maternal high-fat diet (HFD) has been shown to promote the development of insulin resistance (IR) in adult offspring; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.
Approach and results
Eight-week-old female wild-type mice (C57BL/6) were fed a HFD or normal diet (ND) one week prior to mating, and received during pregnancy and lactation. Eight-week-old male offspring of both groups were fed a HFD for 8 weeks. Offspring of HFD-fed dams (O-HFD) showed significantly enhanced IR compared with offspring of ND-fed dams (O-ND). There was no difference in body weight, epidydimal white adipose tissue (eWAT) weight, and cumulative caloric intake between the 2 groups. However, eWAT adipocyte size was significantly increased in O-HFD, accompanied by the abundant crown-like structures. Flow cytometric analysis revealed an increased percentage of M1, but not M2, macrophages. Serum and eWAT concentrations of IL-1β, but not TNF-α, were significantly higher in O-HFD than O-ND (3.7-fold and 2.0-fold, respectively, P<0.05). Treatment with NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor MCC950 completely abrogated the enhanced IR in O-HFD to a similar extent of that in O-ND, although IR was modestly, but not significantly, ameliorated in O-ND even after MCC950 treatment. Consistent with in vivo findings, in vitro polarization of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) did not show any difference in TNF-α mRNA expression after conventional stimulation. In contrast, palmitate acid (PA)-mediated metabolic activation of BMDMs following LPS priming showed a significantly higher concentration of IL-1β in culture supernatants from O-HFD (45%, P<0.05). However, protein expression levels of NLRP-3, ASC, and procaspase-1 after LPS priming were equivalent between the 2 groups. Consistently, intracellular flow cytometric analysis of caspase-1 activity after PA activation did not show any difference, which was compatible with the finding that ex vivo caspase-1 activity of eWAT assessed by fluorescent image of IVIS revealed no difference between the 2 groups. To further examine the mechanism of augmented IL-1β release in BMDM of O-HFD, we examined the cleavage of caspase substrate gasdermin D (GSDMD) and subsequent pore formation. Protein and gene expression levels of GSDM-D after LPS priming were significantly higher in O-HFD (50% and 381%, respectively, P<0.05). At 2 hrs after PA stimulation following LPS priming, cleaved GSDM-D was significantly increased in O-HFD (80%, P<0.01). Consistently, percentage of pore formation assessed by ethidium bromide staining was significantly higher in O-HFD (60%, P<0.05), while LDH release could not be observed.
Conclusions
Our findings demonstrate that maternal HFD exaggerates diet-induced insulin resistance in adult offspring by enhancing pyroptosis through augmented GSDM-D-mediated pore formation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Our previous study reported a method for determining MYCN gene amplification (MNA) status using cell-free DNA in serum. We prospectively analyzed the serum MNA status using sera obtained before the initial diagnosis from patients with neuroblastoma and evaluated the utility of this method.
Methods
Eighty patients were enrolled in the study. The serum MYCN/NAGK ratio was assessed for all cases.
Results
Fifteen cases showed serum MNA, while 65 did not. Of the 80 total patients, tumor samples for a genetic analysis were not obtained from 27 due to the patients’ condition or other reasons. For the 43 of 80 cases that had both serum and tumor samples analyzed, the serum-based MNA status matched to tumor-based MNA status (P < 0.001). The sensitivity and the specificity were 100%, respectively. Seven of 15 cases who diagnosed as MNA by serum-based MNA status were <18 months of age, and tumor samples were not obtained from 4 of these cases. Based on the serum MNA status, these cases were able to start treatment immediately. The 4-year event-free survival rates of cases with and without MNA in sera were 37.5% and 84.8%, respectively (P < 0.001).
Conclusion
The serum-based MNA status was useful for precisely predicting the MNA status in tumor and it has clinical benefits for predicting risk stratification in patients for whom obtaining tumor samples is difficult.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Bone mineral density (BMD) is less useful for evaluating fracture risk in type 2 diabetes. This study showed for the first time that combined evaluation by serum insulin-like growth factor-I and BMD is useful to assess the risk of vertebral fracture in postmenopausal women and men with type 2 diabetes. INTRODUCTION BMD is less useful for evaluating fracture risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to examine the usefulness of combined evaluation by BMD and serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) to assess the risk of vertebral fracture (VF) in T2DM. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 412 postmenopausal women and 582 men with T2DM, whose BMD, bone turnover markers, and serum IGF-I were measured, were enrolled. The association of BMD alone, serum IGF-I alone, and combined assessment by BMD and IGF-I with the presence of VF was examined. RESULTS Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that IGF-I as well as BMD T-score at lumbar (L) and femoral neck (FN) were significantly associated with VF except for IGF-I in men, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the cutoff values of IGF-I, L T-score and FN T-score were 127 ng/mL, - 1.78, and - 2.02 in postmenopausal women and 127 ng/mL, - 1.67, and - 1.24 in men. Based on the cutoff vales, the subjects were divided into four categories. The category of lower IGF-I and lower T-scores had a significant increased risk of VF compared to higher IGF-I and higher T-scores both in postmenopausal women and in men. The sensitivity and specificity of the combined assessment to detect VF were better compared to using BMD alone or IGF-I alone. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to show that in addition to BMD measurement, the assessment using serum IGF-I is useful to estimate the prevalence of VF in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Recently CeOBiS2 system without any fluorine doping is found to show superconductivity posing question on its origin. Using space resolved ARPES we have found a metallic phase embedded in the morphological defects and at the sample edges of stoichiometric CeOBiS2. While bulk of the sample is semiconducting, the embedded metallic phase is characterized by the usual electron pocket at X point, similar to the Fermi surface of doped BiS2-based superconductors. Typical size of the observed metallic domain is larger than the superconducting correlation length of the system suggesting that the observed superconductivity in undoped CeOBiS2 might be due to this embedded metallic phase at the defects. The results also suggest a possible way to develop new systems by manipulation of the defects in these chalcogenides with structural instability.

Abstract
Background Although MYCN (aka N-myc) amplification is reported in ∼20% of neuroblastomas, MYC (aka C-myc) amplification appears to be a rare event in this disease. As of today, only 2 MYC-amplified neuroblastomas have been briefly mentioned in the literature. Methods We studied here the clinicopathological features of 3 MYC-amplified neuroblastomas. Results All 3 patients (2 females and 1 male) had stage 4 disease. One female is currently alive and well 52 months after the diagnosis, while the other female and male patients died of disease 24 and 20 months after the diagnosis, respectively. Further analysis on 2 tumors revealed unfavorable histology with MYC protein overexpression but with neither MYCN amplification nor MYCN protein overexpression. Both of these tumors exhibited "large cell neuroblastoma" histology with enlarged, uniquely open nuclei and nucleolar hypertrophy, along with "aberrant" desmin expression. Conclusions MYC-amplified neuroblastomas are extremely rare and seem to present with distinct clinicopathological features.

Abstract
It is known that nerve fibers containing neuropeptides such as galanin increase in the periodontal ligament during experimental tooth movement. However, the origin of galanin-containing nerve fibers in the periodontal ligament remains unclear. This study was conducted to examine our hypothesis that the increased galanin nerve fibers have a sensory neuronal origin, and that the peptide is associated with pain transmission and/or periodontal ligament remodeling during experimental tooth movement. In control rats, galanin-immunoreactive trigeminal ganglion cells were very rare and were observed predominantly in small ganglion cells. After 3 days of experimental tooth movement, galanin-immunoreactive trigeminal ganglion cells significantly increased, and the most marked increase was observed at 5 days after experimental tooth movement. Furthermore, their cell size spectrum also significantly changed after 3 and 5 days of movement: Medium-sized and large trigeminal ganglion cells began expressing, and continued to express, galanin until 14 days after experimental tooth movement. These findings suggest that the increase of galanin in the periodontal ligament during experimental tooth movement at least partially originates from trigeminal ganglion neurons and may play a role in pain transmission and/or periodontal remodeling.

Abstract
Background In children, the most significant cause of rhabdomyolysis or muscle breakdown is viral infection. However, there are no reports that norovirus, a gastroenteric virus that commonly infects children, specifically causes rhabdomyolysis. Here, we report the first pediatric case of norovirus-associated rhabdomyolysis. Case presentation The patient, a 2-year-old boy with fever, diarrhea, and vomiting, was referred to our hospital with dysstasia and transaminitis. He was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis. Additionally, norovirus genogroup GII was detected from stool samples by real-time quantitative reverse transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction, and thereafter, the norovirus GII.4 variant was identified. Conclusion However, the association between rhabdomyolysis and the isolated norovirus variant was not clarified. After treatment the patient recovered without renal failure or disseminated intravascular coagulation. Rhabdomyolysis is a disease for which there is a need for early detection and treatment. If abnormal posture or muscle weakness is observed during the course of gastroenteritis, blood and urinary tests should be performed to rule out rhabdomyolysis.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Monitoring bone mineral density is useful to assess treatment response for osteoporosis, but it does not always reflect fracture prevention. Two types of bone mineral density thresholds were used to analyze data from a once-weekly teriparatide trial, and they appear to be useful indicators of treatment success for osteoporosis. INTRODUCTION This study aimed to clarify whether the criteria of treatment response could be used to evaluate treatment success with once-weekly teriparatide. METHODS The data of subjects whose lumbar or femoral neck bone mineral density (BMD) was measured in the TOWER study were included. The least significant change (LSC) and the absolute change were used as the criteria for judgment of treatment success. The correlation between the incidence of fractures and the treatment response was also assessed. RESULTS There was no significant difference in baseline characteristics between the placebo and teriparatide groups. Once-weekly teriparatide therapy for 72 weeks showed treatment success in 79.2 % of the subjects for lumbar BMD and 44.1 % for femoral neck BMD by LSC and in 50.5 and 39.6 % by absolute change, respectively. A lower incidence of vertebral fracture was observed in patients who achieved treatment success for lumbar BMD. With the LSC, some treatment success was observed in the early phase of treatment, and it increased with treatment duration. CONCLUSIONS It appears that the LSC could be used as a surrogate efficacy indicator at an earlier stage of treatment, and the absolute criterion of -2.5SD was confirmed as a useful marker of long-term treatment success.

Abstract
Paraquat poisoning was studied in 174 patients over a 12-month period when a new, low concentration paraquat product (4.5% w/v paraquat ion mixed with 4.5% w/v diquat ion; 6 3 cases) replaced the original high concentration paraquat product (20% w/v paraquat ion only; 111 cases). In both groups approximately 60% of the patients died from circulatory failure accompanied by multiple organ failure within a week of ingesting the products. However, a remarkable reduction in late deaths from respiratory failure was noted in the new product group (17.1% vs 6.3%). This was reflected in this group's improved survival (23.4% vs 34.9%). The improvement in survival seems to be attributable to the dilution of paraquat with diquat which seems to have a different toxicological profile to paraquat.
