Abstract
We have developed a large-scale purification method of the phosphorylated form (131 kDa) of membrane-bound guanylyl cyclase (mGC) from Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus spermatozoa. The purified mGC contained 26.0 +/- 1.3 moles of phosphate/mol enzyme (mean +/- S.D., n = 6). Phosphorylated peptides were isolated from the trypsin digest of the carboxymethylated H. pulcherrimus sperm mGC by affinity chromatography on a Chelating Sepharose Fast Flow column, and the peptides were then subjected to mass spectrometric analysis and determination of phosphoserines, after the conversion of phosphoserines to Sethylcysteines by amino acid analysis. Based on the observed mass number and the content of phosphoserine, serine residues at positions 561, 565, 652, 722, 740, 755, 894, 897, 914, 918, 927, 930, 951, and 985, in addition to two residues among those at positions 666, 670, and 671, were shown to be phosphorylated. They are all located in the intracellular region (kinase-like and catalytic domains). Notably, serine residues at positions 894, 918, 927, and 930, that are conserved in the sequence of mammalian mGCs and medaka fish-eye-specific mGCs, are phosphorylated in the sea urchin sperm mGC.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors affecting long-term prognosis of autotransplantation of third molars with complete root formation in males at dental clinics. Participating dentists were requested to provide information on transplantations they had undertaken from 1 January 1990 to 31 December 2010. Data on a total of 708 teeth from 637 patients were collected. After data screening and elimination, participants of this study consisted of 183 teeth of 171 males ranging from 20 to 72 years of age (mean age, 44·8 years). The cumulative survival rate was 86·0% at the 5-year mark, 59·1% at 10 years and 28·0% at 15 years. The mean survival time was 134·5 months, as calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Single factor analysis using the log-rank test showed that the following factors had significant influence (P < 0·05) on survival of transplanted teeth: periodontal disease as the reason for recipient site tooth extraction, fewer than 25 present teeth and Eichner index Groups B1 to C. Cox regression analysis examined five factors: age, smoking habit, recipient site extraction caused by periodontal disease, fewer than 25 present teeth and Eichner index. This analysis showed that two of these factors were significant: fewer than 25 present teeth was 2·63 (95% CI, 1·03-6·69) and recipient site extraction caused by periodontal disease was 3·80 (95% CI, 1·61-9·01). The results of this study suggest that long-term survival of transplanted teeth in males is influenced not only by oral bacterium but also by occlusal status.

Abstract
Patients who have received subtotal esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal cancer must be closely monitored for second primary malignancies. The purpose of this study is to review and assess patients who developed a second primary esophageal cancer in the residual cervical esophagus. Between 1996 and 2010, 10 patients were diagnosed in our hospital with esophageal squamous cell cancer in the residual cervical esophagus after undergoing thoracic esophagectomy and were treated with endoscopic or surgical resection. Data from these patients were reviewed retrospectively. Seven of the 10 patients (70%) had multiple primary carcinoma lesions at the time of their esophagectomy. A second primary cancer in the residual cervical esophagus was detected in eight patients during follow-up endoscopic examinations while the patients were still asymptomatic. Seven of the patients underwent endoscopic resection for a superficial cancer. None of those patients experienced any complications, and all are currently alive and cancer-free. The remaining three patients underwent resection of the cervical esophagus with regional lymph node dissection. Two of those patients experienced severe complications; one subsequently died (hospital death) from pneumonia, 12 months after surgery, while the other died from recurrence of his cancer. The third patient is alive and cancer-free. Early detection of a second primary malignancy in the residual cervical esophagus followed by endoscopic resection is the best treatment strategy for patients who previously received subtotal esophagectomy for thoracic esophageal cancer. Surgical resection puts patients at high risk of mortality or morbidity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze the efficacies of para-aortic node (PAN) dissection for patients undergoing surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy for endometrial carcinomas. METHODS At the Osaka University Hospital and the Kaizuka City Hospital in Osaka, Japan, either pelvic lymph nodes (PLN) plus para-aortic lymph nodes (PAN) or PLN-only dissections were performed for endometrial carcinomas. An adjuvant chemotherapy using paclitaxel, epirubicin, and carboplatin was conducted for all such patients. A retrospective comparison of the efficacy of PAN dissection was conducted. RESULTS Disease-free and overall survivals and frequency of PAN involvement at the first recurrence did not exhibit a statistically significant difference between the PLN-only group and the PLN + PAN group. Operation time was significantly longer in the PLN + PAN group than the PLN-only group, and the total blood loss was also significantly greater in the PLN+PAN group. CONCLUSION PAN dissection may be omitted, without adverse effect on prognosis, for endometrial carcinoma patients with recurrence risks who undergo adjuvant chemotherapy using platinum, anthracycline and taxane derivatives.

Abstract
An efficient and low-noise 1.244-GHz gating InGaAs single-photon avalanche photodiode (SAPD) was developed for a high-speed quantum key distribution (QKD) system. An afterpulsing probability of 0.61% and a dark count probability per gate of 0.71 ×10-6 were obtained at a detection efficiency of 10.9% for 1.55-µm photons. Furthermore, our SAPD successfully coped with high detection efficiency (≤ 25%) and quite low afterpulsing noise (≤ 3% for ≤ 25% efficiency) at the same time. Its potential was verified using the actual QKD setups installed over a metropolitan area network.

Abstract
We discuss our estimates of the performance of a superconducting single photon detector (SSPD) in a high speed quantum key distribution (QKD) system. We find that at high repetition operation reflections from the readout circuit at room temperature causes an afterpulse-like phenomenon, and drastically increases the quantum bit error rate (QBER). Such effects are not seen during low frequency operation. By using an amplifier with a small reflection coefficient S11, we succeed in reducing the afterpulse-like phenomenon and increasing a secure key rate.

Abstract
We investigated the effectiveness of chemoradiotherapy for the treatment of lymph node recurrence and hematogenous metastasis after esophagectomy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Between 2001 and 2006, 216 patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma had curative esophagectomy. Of those, 23 with lymph node recurrence received chemoradiotherapy (50.0-68.8 Gy). In addition, five patients had isolated recurrences in a distant organ and received chemoradiotherapy (50.0-60.0 Gy). We analyzed outcomes from the radiotherapy for recurrent esophageal cancer. The 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rates after recurrence for the 23 patients whose lymph node recurrence was treated with chemoradiotherapy were 52, 31, and 24%, respectively, and the median survival time was 13 months. Among the five patients with recurrent tumors in a distant organ, chemoradiotherapy produced a complete response in two patients, a partial response in one patient, and stable disease in two patients, giving an effectiveness rate of 60% (complete response + partial response). Chemoradiotherapy has a beneficial prognostic effect in patients with lymph node recurrence of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Chemoradiotherapy for a metastatic tumor in a distant organ may be the treatment of choice in cases where systemic chemotherapy has proven ineffective.

Abstract
Abstract
Tumor derived cell lines have been in use for cancer drug profiling as evidenced by the establishment of NCI-60 panel as a drug discovery tool in early 1990s. In recent years, due to the advancement of targeted therapies in cancer, screening of larger cell panels with greater genetic heterogeneity has become very important not only to measure efficacy of the compounds but also for identifying the biomarkers that are responsible for the efficacy. Here we present data from OncoPredictorSM, a cellular screening and bioinformatics platform able to (1) evaluate multiple types of genomic biomarkers for association with in vitro drug response and (2) analyze identified biomarkers in clinical tumor populations, thereby suggesting potential drug development strategies. The cellular screening component, OncoPanel™, is comprised of a large panel of human tumor-derived cell lines from different origins with broad genetic heterogeneity providing a sensitive method of comparing proliferation or cytotoxicity (resistance or sensitivity) across genotypes. Our cell line panel consists of 240 cell lines that span a wide variety tumor tissue types including lung, breast, stomach, colon, ovary, liver, skin, kidney, bladder, prostate, pancreas, head and neck, brain, hematopoetic, and lymphoid tumors. We have mRNA expression, SNP and mutation data to characterize these cell lines. The media and culture conditions are standardized and optimized so that the genetic heterogeneity of the cell line will be responsible for the phenotypic responses obtained. We generate simultaneous data for each compound at 10 concentrations (in triplicates) resulting in precise IC50/EC50 values for analysis and comparison. Results from a case study will be presented to depict the very robust data quality including the doubling time for the cell lines. Also, sensitive and resistance data with 11 known anticancer agents including inhibitors of mTorr, ABL, MEK, PDGF, VEGF, FLT3, Aurora kinases, HSP90, EGFR, Topo II, and microtubulin disassembly will be presented using the robust high content data from these cell lines. As expected, the most sensitive cell lines against a clinical ABL inhibitor were the CML-derived cell lines. On the other hand, many of the colon, melanoma and pancreatic cell lines were sensitive to MEK inhibitor. Sensitive and resistant cells were further profiled against, mutation, expression, and SNP data to identify genes involved in the sensitive/resistant phenotypes using sophisticated bioinformatic analysis tools to identify genomic biomarker profiles and to estimate their frequency in clinical populations (data presented separately). OncoPredictor is ideally suited for prioritization of the leads, positioning of the leads against cancer types, repositioning of clinical candidates or drugs for supplemental indication, combination therapies, and for biomarker identification and characterization in clinical populations.

Abstract
Recently popularised, the combined angiography and CT (angio-CT) system is useful for correctly identifying the feeding arteries and their perfusion in various organs. We applied this system for advanced maxillary cancer to expose its feeding arteries and their supplying territories. In addition to the maxillary artery, extramaxillary feeding arteries were usually observed, including the ophthalmic, accessory meningeal, facial, transverse facial and ascending palatine arteries. These extramaxillary feeding arteries exhibited uniform tendencies, depending on the site of extramaxillary tumour extension.

Abstract
Rehabilitation of eating and swallowing functions from the viewpoint of quality of life should attempt to restore not only the physical, but also sensory function. As the size and shape of the intra-oral bolus of food provides oral sensory information important for eating and swallowing, we investigated the stereognostic ability of the tongue in 269 young adults (mean age: 24.5 years) and 60 seniors (mean age: 80.5 years); all of whom had no eating or swallowing complaints. Assessment of the stereognostic ability involved identifying 20 differently shaped test pieces placed in the oral cavity. The young adults identified a significantly higher number of differently shaped test pieces than the seniors (mean correct number of responses: 16.5 and 10.1 respectively; P < 0.001). Gender and the presence of palatal covers did not have any significant effect on stereognostic ability. The test pieces were categorized into six groups based on the shape. When the young adults misidentified a piece, they often selected another piece within the same group, almost never selecting a piece from another group. The seniors, however, chose test pieces from different groups. Moreover, to determine whether stereognosis could be improved through training, we conducted training involving four senior subjects in their 80s, who correctly identified 10 or fewer pieces. After the training, the number of correct answers increased significantly (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that seniors show decreased stereognostic ability of the tongue compared with young adults and suggest the possibility of recovering the ability using our training method.
