Abstract
Background: On the basis of our recent findings of oncogenic KRAS-induced interleukin-8 (IL-8) overexpression in non-small cell lung cancer, we assessed the clinicopathological and prognostic significances of IL-8 expression and its relationship to KRAS mutations in lung adenocarcinomas. Methods: IL-8 expression was examined by quantitative RT–PCR using 136 of surgical specimens from lung adenocarcinoma patients. The association between IL-8 expression, clinicopathological features, KRAS or EGFR mutation status and survival was analysed. Results: IL-8 was highly expressed in tumours from elderly patients or smokers and in tumours with pleural involvement or vascular invasion. In a non-smokers' subgroup, IL-8 level positively correlated with age. IL-8 was highly expressed in tumours with KRAS mutations compared with those with EGFR mutations or wild-type EGFR/KRAS. Lung adenocarcinoma patients with high IL-8 showed significantly shorter disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) than those with low IL8. DFS and OS were significantly shorter in the patients with mutant KRAS/high IL-8 than in those with wild-type KRAS/low IL-8. Cox regression analyses demonstrated that elevated IL-8 expression correlated with unfavourable prognosis. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that IL-8 expression is associated with certain clinicopathological features including age and is a potent prognostic marker in lung adenocarcinoma, especially in oncogenic KRAS-driven adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Adenocarcinomas arising from the ectopic pancreas in the gastrointestinal wall are rarely described in the literature. In addition, obtaining an accurate preoperative diagnosis is difficult in most cases because these adenocarcinomas occur primarily in the submucosal layer and form submucosal tumors. Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle aspiration and endoscopic mucosal resection with a transparent plastic cap-fitted panendoscope followed by a biopsy are useful for histological typing and making the differential diagnosis of adenocarcinoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, malignant lymphoma or other. These procedures represent the first step toward diagnosing ectopic pancreatic adenocarcinoma. We herein report two such cases with a review of the pertinent literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Monoclonal antibodies against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) can extend progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with unresectable colorectal cancer; however, skin toxicity often interferes with therapy continuation. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the polymorphisms in EGFR and IgG fragment C receptor (FCGR) genes and determined their associations with clinical outcomes including PFS, OS, and skin toxicity. Five polymorphisms in EGFR and FCGR genes in 32 patients with unresectable colorectal cancer who were treated with antibodies against EGFR were examined. RESULTS Patients carrying the C/C genotype of the EGFR D994D polymorphism displayed significantly less skin toxicity than those with other genotypes, although no significant differences in PFS and OS were noted and no significant interactions were detected for other gene polymorphisms. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the EGFR D994D polymorphism is a useful biomarker for predicting the severity of skin toxicity in patients receiving antibody against EGFR.

Abstract
We gave general anesthesia for an infant with ilioinguinal hernia and Möbius syndrome. Anesthesia was performed with sevoflurane inhalation and intravenous infusion of remifentanil. Intraoperative anesthetic course was uneventful. Möbius syndrome is a syndrome of rhombencephalic maldevelopment involving predominantly motor nuclei and axons, as well as traversing long tracts. Airway management is a great challenge in these patients. Micrognathia, retrognathia, mandibular hypoplasia, and palatine cleft are some of the manifestations seen in these patients.

Abstract
AIM To assess whether any form of osteopontin (OPN) is correlated with bone resorption markers or treatment effects in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHOD Subjects comprised 119 patients with RA. RA disease activity was evaluated by Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), rheumatoid factor (RF) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3. OPN levels in plasma and urine were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Levels of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP) 5b in serum and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX)-1 in urine were measured by ELISA. Patients were divided into responder and nonresponder groups, and OPN levels were compared at baseline and after treatment. RESULTS Levels of full-length OPN in plasma (P-fOPN) were significantly correlated with levels of TRACP 5b (r = 0.44, P < 0.001), urine CTX-1 (r = 0.26, P = 0.004) and MMP-3 (r = 0.34, P < 0.001). Levels of TRACP 5b were significantly correlated with age (r = 0.25, P = 0.007), but levels of P-fOPN were not. After treatment, plasma OPN levels were significantly decreased in responders (P = 0.003). Levels of full-length or thrombin-cleaved forms of OPN in urine were not correlated with TRACP 5b or CTX-1. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that plasma OPN may reflect inflammatory bone destruction in RA patients.

Abstract
AIM To identify autoantibodies useful in the diagnosis of primary vasculitides. METHODS The presence of antibodies against proteins in the lysate of mouse blood vessels was examined by two-dimensional electrophoresis followed by Western blotting for the pooled serum sample from patients with various forms of vasculitis: polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) and Takayasu's arteritis (TA). Autoantigenicity in patients with vasculitides was examined by Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Clinicopathological correlations between the positivity of the autoantibodies and clinical status of patients with the vasculitis were examined. RESULTS The autoantigen detected in the lysate of pooled sera from patients with vasculitides was identified by mass spectrometry as carbonic anhydrase III (CAIII). ELISA showed significantly higher prevalence of anti-CAIII antibodies in MPA patients (MPA, 11/23 [47.8%]; healthy controls, 2/32 [6.3%]; P < 0.001). Further, anti-CAIII antibody-positive MPA patients had higher vasculitis activity scores compared to anti-CAIII antibody-negative patients, and a weak and not significant negative correlation was observed between anti-CAIII antibody levels and myeloperoxidase - anti-nuclear cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) levels. No significant differences were found in anti-CAIII autoantibody levels between MPA and the other primary vasculitides. CONCLUSION We found significantly high prevalence of anti-CAIII antibody levels in sera from MPA patients. Although the number of samples available in this study is small and anti-CAIII autoantibodies display weak specificity for MPA, anti-CAIII antibodies may be useful for diagnosing MPA in patients who have no ANCA, as well as for assessing disease activity.

Abstract
We survey our recent theoretical studies on the generation and detection of coherent radial breathing mode (RBM) phonons in single-walled carbon nanotubes and coherent radial breathing like mode (RBLM) phonons in graphene nanoribbons. We present a microscopic theory for the electronic states, phonon modes, optical matrix elements and electron-phonon interaction matrix elements that allows us to calculate the coherent phonon spectrum. An extended tight-binding (ETB) model has been used for the electronic structure and a valence force field (VFF) model has been used for the phonon modes. The coherent phonon amplitudes satisfy a driven oscillator equation with the driving term depending on the photoexcited carrier density. We discuss the dependence of the coherent phonon spectrum on the nanotube chirality and type, and also on the graphene nanoribbon mod number and class (armchair versus zigzag). We compare these results with a simpler effective mass theory where reasonable agreement with the main features of the coherent phonon spectrum is found. In particular, the effective mass theory helps us to understand the initial phase of the coherent phonon oscillations for a given nanotube chirality and type. We compare these results to two different experiments for nanotubes: (i) micelle suspended tubes and (ii) aligned nanotube films. In the case of graphene nanoribbons, there are no experimental observations to date. We also discuss, based on the evaluation of the electron-phonon interaction matrix elements, the initial phase of the coherent phonon amplitude and its dependence on the chirality and type. Finally, we discuss previously unpublished results for coherent phonon amplitudes in zigzag nanoribbons obtained using an effective mass theory.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to define the clinical features of liver dysfunction in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS The frequency and causes of liver dysfunction were examined in 206 patients with SLE. RESULTS Liver dysfunction was evident in 123 (59.7%) of the 206 patients. Liver dysfunction in patients with SLE can be drug-induced (30.9%) or caused by SLE itself (28.5%), fatty liver (17.9%), autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) (4.9%), primary biliary cirrhosis (2.4%), cholangitis (1.6%), alcohol (1.6%) or viral hepatitis (0.8%), and it tends to be mild except when caused by AIH. Values for aminotransferase were significantly increased when AIH was the cause, whereas alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTP) were significantly increased when AIH or drugs were the cause. The liver was already dysfunctional at the time of SLE onset in 56 (45.5%) of 123 patients with liver dysfunction. Neurological involvement was more common among patients with than without liver dysfunction, whereas SLE activity and prognosis did not significantly differ between the two groups. CONCLUSION Liver dysfunction in the presence of SLE can be caused by many factors, but when extant at the time of SLE onset, either SLE itself or drugs can be the cause. Autoimmune hepatitis should be considered when liver dysfunction is relatively severe.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE L-ficolin plays an important role in innate immunity and is involved in apoptosis. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum L-ficolin levels and clinical manifestations in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS Serum L-ficolin levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 66 SLE patients and 50 healthy controls. RESULTS Median serum L-ficolin levels were 5.0 and 8.7 μg/ml in SLE patients and controls, respectively (p = 0.0001). There were no significant differences in serum L-ficolin levels between the active disease group [SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) >6] and the inactive disease group (SLEDAI <5). Decreased serum L-ficolin levels were associated with thrombocytopenia (median of with vs. without thrombocytopenia 3.4 vs. 5.3 μg/ml, p = 0.008). There were no correlations between serum L-ficolin levels and SLEDAI, serum C3, or serum C4 levels. CONCLUSION The association between L-ficolin and thrombocytopenia suggests a pathogenic role for L-ficolin in thrombocytopenia in SLE.

Abstract
Phonon self-energy corrections have mostly been studied theoretically and experimentally for phonon modes with zone-center (q=0) wave vectors. Here, gate-modulated Raman scattering is used to study phonons of a single layer of graphene originating from a double-resonant Raman process with q≠0. The observed phonon renormalization effects are different from what is observed for the zone-center q=0 case. To explain our experimental findings, we explored the phonon self-energy for the phonons with nonzero wave vectors (q≠0) in single-layer graphene in which the frequencies and decay widths are expected to behave oppositely to the behavior observed in the corresponding zone-center q=0 processes. Within this framework, we resolve the identification of the phonon modes contributing to the G(⋆) Raman feature at 2450 cm(-1) to include the iTO+LA combination modes with q≠0 and also the 2iTO overtone modes with q=0, showing both to be associated with wave vectors near the high symmetry point K in the Brillouin zone.

Abstract
The G' (or 2D) Raman band of AB stacked bilayer graphene comes from a double resonance Raman (DRR) process and is composed of four peaks (P(11), P(12), P(21), and P(22)). In this work, the integrated areas (IA) of these four peaks are analyzed as a function of the laser power for different laser lines. We show that the dependence of the IA of each peak on temperature is different for each distinct laser excitation energy. This special dependence is explained in terms of the electron-phonon coupling and the relaxation of the photon-excited electron. In this DRR process, the electron is scattered by an iTO phonon from a K to an inequivalent K' point of the Brillouin zone. Here, we show that this electron relaxes while in the conduction band before being scattered by an iTO phonon due to the short relaxation time of the excited electron, and the carrier relaxation occurs predominantly by emitting a low-energy acoustic phonon. The different combinations of relaxation processes determine the relative intensities of the four peaks that give rise to the G' band. Some peaks show an increase of their IA at the expense of others, thereby making the IA of the peaks both different from each other and dependent on laser excitation energy and on power level. Also, we report that the IA of the G' mode excited at 532 nm, shows a resonance regime involving ZO' phonons (related to the interlayer breathing mode in bilayer graphene systems) in which a saturation of what we call the P(12) process occurs. This effect gives important information about the electron and phonon dynamics and needs to be taken into account for certain applications of bilayer graphene in the field of nanotechnology.

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
Activin A is a differentiation factor for β-cells and is effective to promote β-cell neogenesis. Activin A is also an autocrine activator of pancreatic stellate cells, which play a critical role in fibrogenesis of the pancreas. Conophylline (CnP) is a natural compound, which reproduces the effect of activin on β-cell differentiation and promotes β-cell neogenesis when administered in vivo. However, its effect on stellate cells is not known. We therefore investigated the effect of CnP on stellate cells both in vitro and in vivo. Unlike activin A, CnP inhibited activation of cultured stellate cells and reduced the production of collagen. We then analyzed the involvement of stellate cells in islet fibrosis in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats, a model of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In pancreatic sections obtained from 6-wk-old GK rats, CD68-positive macrophages and glial fibrillary acidic protein- and α-smooth muscle actin-positive stellate cells infiltrated into islets. Later, the number of macrophages was increased, and the α-smooth muscle actin staining of stellate cells became stronger, indicating the involvement of stellate cells in islet fibrosis in GK rats. When CnP was administered orally for 4 wk, starting from 6 wk of age, invasion of stellate cells and macrophages was markedly reduced and islet fibrosis was significantly improved. The insulin content was twice as high in CnP-treated rats. These results indicate that CnP exerts antifibrotic actions both in vitro and in vivo and improves islet fibrosis in Goto-Kakizaki rats.

Abstract
We present experimental measurements of the electronic contribution to the Raman spectra of individual metallic single-walled carbon nanotubes (MSWNTs). Photoexcited carriers are inelastically scattered by a continuum of low-energy electron-hole pairs created across the graphenelike linear electronic subbands of the MSWNTs. The optical resonances in MSWNTs give rise to well-defined electronic Raman peaks. This resonant electronic Raman scattering is a unique feature of the electronic structure of these one-dimensional quasimetals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical treatment of deep-seated tumors such as supratentorial intraventricular and thalamic-pineal-tectal region tumors carries a risk of postoperative deficits due to possible damage to deep cerebral veins including the internal cerebral vein. It is often difficult to identify whether the vessel encountered during surgery needs to be preserved or not through the small operative field. Therefore, preoperative evaluation of deep venous structures is important. We evaluated the usefulness of 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (3 T MRI) for this purpose. METHODS First, the ability to detect deep venous structures was compared with both 3-dimensional computed tomographical angiography (3D-CTA) and 3 T MRI in patients without any damage to deep venous structures. Images of 7 consecutive patients suffering from insulo-opercular gliomas who underwent both imaging modes for the identification of lateral striate arteries were reconstructed for evaluation of the deep cerebral veins. Subsequently, surgery for tumors at the supratentorial intraventricular and thalamic-pineal-tectal regions was prospectively performed with preoperative evaluation of deep venous system only using 3 T MRI. RESULTS Information on the deep venous systems acquired by 3 T MRI was as useful as that acquired by 3D-CTA. Until today, we have treated 8 cases of supratentorial intraventricular and thalamic-pineal-tectal region tumors with preoperative evaluation of the deep venous system using 3 T MRI without any morbidity. CONCLUSION Information on the deep venous system obtained with 3 T MRI aids the surgery of supratentorial intraventricular and thalamic-pineal-tectal region tumors. As the required sequences of 3 T MRI are same as those necessary for the neuronavigation system, and 3 T MRI can be achieved without the use of iodine-based contrast agents, 3 T MRI can be an alternative for preoperative evaluation of the deep venous systems.

Abstract
Bordetella pertussis is the aetiologic agent of whooping cough, a common cause of severe respiratory illness in children and prolonged mild cough in adults. To understand some of the reasons for differences in clinical symptoms between adults and children, we measured B. pertussis DNA loads in nasopharyngeal swabs (NPS) from 19 adults and 40 children (including 14 infants) by quantitative IS481 real-time PCR. All cases had been pre-diagnosed with the B. pertussis-specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification method. The mean PCR threshold cycles for adult and child NPS were 34.9 and 27.1, respectively, indicating a significantly lower B. pertussis DNA load in adults than in children (p <0.001). Moreover, adults had very low DNA loads during both early and later stages of the disease. When corresponding bacterial loads in NPS were calculated for B. pertussis Tohama cells using a standard curve, the mean number of bacterial cells taken with a rayon-tipped swab from an adult, older child and infant was estimated to be 320 (95% CI 120-910), 2.1 × 10⁴(95% CI 5.3 × 10³ to 8.3 × 10⁴) and 1.1 × 10⁶ cells (95% CI 1.2 × 10⁵ to 8.9 × 10⁶), respectively. This indicates that the B. pertussis load in NPS is closely correlated with patient age. Our observations suggest that adult pertussis is characterized by a lower bacterial load in the nasopharynx, resulting in milder symptoms and negative cultures.

Abstract
AIM To compare the performance of a new chromogenic agar medium CHROMagar ESBL (KC-ESBL) to chromID ESBL (SB-ESBL) for the detection and presumptive identification of extended-spectrum ß-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae directly from clinical specimens. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 256 specimens were screened for ESBL producers. Also, the genotypes of the ESBLs and plasmid-mediated AmpC ß-lactamases (pAmpCBLs) were characterized by PCR and sequencing. Among the 256 specimens, 17 (6.6%) ESBL producers were isolated on both media. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were higher for KC-ESBL (100, 93.3, 51.5 and 100%, respectively) than for SB-ESBL (88.2, 92.9, 46.9 and 99.1%, respectively) (P = 0.72). Enterobacteriaceae harbouring pAmpCBL genes as well as chromosomal cephalosporinase- and penicillinase-hyperproducing Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa accounted for the false-positive results. CONCLUSION KC-ESBL can detect ESBL producers from clinical specimens with good selectivity and rapid presumptive identification by means of colony colour at 24 h. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This is the first study that has evaluated the performance of KC-ESBL that enables the detection and presumptive identification of ESBL producers from clinical specimens.

Abstract
AbstractWe analyze the dependence of the second-order G'-band profile in terms of their (n,m) indices by measuring the resonance Raman spectra of several semiconducting and metalic isolated single wal carbon nanotubes. We show that this profile is very sensitive to the electronic structure, thus making it possible to get structural (n,m) information and to probe the splitting of the van Hove singularities in the electronic density of states due to the trigona warping effect.

Abstract
ABSTRACTTime-resolved excitation and relaxation processes of the impact excitation emission (EL) at 1.54μm of Er3+ ions doped in InP were investigated in the temperature range from 77K to 330K. The decay process was almost exponential in all the measured temperature range and showed little thermal quenching. The decay time of 2ms at 77K decreased only to tms at 330K. This result contrasted with the large thermal quenching and nonexponential characteristics of the photoluminescence (PL) time decay at higher temperatures, suggesting different Er3+ centers excited between EL and PL. A two-emission-center model is proposed and the different behaviors of thermal quenching and time decay between EL and PL emissions are consistently explained.

Abstract
AbstractPhotoluminescence characteristics of porous silicon layers (PSLs) doped with Er or Yb ions are studied. 10μm thick PSLs with a luminescence centered at ∼ 0.8μm are formed by anodic etching of p-type silicon wafers of several Ω-cm resistivity. Rare-earth ions are electrochemically incorporated into PSLs. The Er3+-related luminescence at 1.54μm as well as the Yb3+-related luminescence at 1.0μm is observed at room temperature after annealing at high temperatures (>900°C). The Er-related luminescence is enhanced after annealing in O2, whereas the Yb3+-related luminescence needs oxygen-free atmosphere (H2) for the optical activation. The luminescence decay time of the rare earth ions as well as the host PSLs is measured and the energy transfer mechanism is discussed.

Abstract
This review discusses advances that have been made in the study of defect-induced double-resonance processes in nanographite, graphene and carbon nanotubes, mostly coming from combining Raman spectroscopic experiments with microscopy studies and from the development of new theoretical models. The disorder-induced peak frequencies and intensities are discussed, with particular emphasis given to how the disorder-induced features evolve with increasing amounts of disorder. We address here two systems, ion-bombarded graphene and nanographite, where disorder is represented by point defects and boundaries, respectively. Raman spectroscopy is used to study the 'atomic structure' of the defect, making it possible, for example, to distinguish between zigzag and armchair edges, based on selection rules of phonon scattering. Finally, a different concept is discussed, involving the effect that defects have on the lineshape of Raman-allowed peaks, owing to local electron and phonon energy renormalization. Such effects can be observed by near-field optical measurements on the G' feature for doped single-walled carbon nanotubes.
