Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate surgical results of aortic repair with antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) and mild-to-moderate hypothermia (MH) from 28 to 31°C comparing with previous series with hypothermia from 20°C to 27 °C. METHODS Between 2000 and 2011, 109 consecutive patients underwent surgical repair for acute type A aortic dissection with circulatory arrest and ASCP and MH in our institution. Mean patient age was 67±11 years old. Total arch replacement was performed in 85 patients (78%). Thirty (27%) patients had shock status preoperatively. The patients were divided into two different subsets, which is group A (circulatory arrest at less than 27.9 °C, N.=70), and group B (at more than 28 °C, N.=39). RESULTS The mean extra-corporeal circulation time was 185±47 minutes in group A and 155±38 minutes in group B (P<0.001). The hospital mortality was 11.4% in group A and 10.3% in group B (P>0.05). Permanent neurological deficit occurred in 10 patients (14.3%) in group A, and in 5 (12.8%) in group B (P>0.05). Two (2.8%) paraplegia occurred in group A, and none in group B (P>0.05). The incidence of renal failure requiring hemodialysis was 17.1% in group A and 7.7% in group B, (P>0.05). Respiratory failure after surgery occurred in 27.1% of patients in group A, and 5.1% in group B (P=0.005). CONCLUSION Circulatory arrest at more than 28 °C offered sufficient cerebral and distal organ protection for acute type A aortic dissection.

Abstract
Mouse cancer models have provided critical insights into tumor biology; however, clinical translation of these findings has been challenging. This perspective posits that factors impacting on successful translation start with limitations in capturing human cancer pathophysiology and end with challenges in generating robust translatable preclinical end points. A comprehensive approach that considers clinically relevant mouse models with both an integrated biomarker strategy and a complementary modeling and simulation effort will strengthen the current oncology drug development paradigm.

Abstract
The prototype rf-driven H(-) ion-source with a nickel plated oxygen-free-copper (OFC) plasma chamber, which satisfies the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) 2nd stage requirements of a H(-) ion beam current of 60 mA within normalized emittances of 1.5 π mm mrad both horizontally and vertically, a flat top beam duty factor of 1.25% (500 μs × 25 Hz) and a life-time of more than 50 days, was reported at the 3rd international symposium on negative ions, beams, and sources (NIBS2012). The experimental results of the J-PARC ion source with a plasma chamber made of stainless-steel, instead of nickel plated OFC used in the prototype source, are presented in this paper. By comparing these two sources, the following two important results were acquired. One was that the about 20% lower emittance was produced by the rather low plasma electrode (PE) temperature (TPE) of about 120 °C compared with the typically used TPE of about 200 °C to maximize the beam current for the plasma with the abundant cesium (Cs). The other was that by using the rod-filter magnets with a gap at each center and tuning the gap-lengths, the filter-field was optimized and the rf-power necessary to produce the J-PARC required H(-) ion beam current was reduced typically 18%. The lower rf-power also decreases the emittances.

Abstract
A cesium-free H(-) ion source driven with a LaB6 filament is being operated at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) without any serious trouble since the restoration from the March 2011 earthquake. The H(-) ion current from the ion source is routinely restricted approximately 19 mA for the lifetime of the filament. In order to increase the beam power at the linac beam operation (January to February 2013), the beam current from the ion source was increased to 22 mA. At this operation, the lifetime of the filament was estimated by the reduction in the filament current. According to the steep reduction in the filament current, the break of the filament was predicted. Although the filament has broken after approximately 10 h from the steep current reduction, the beam operation was restarted approximately 8 h later by the preparation for the exchange of new filament. At the study time for the 3 GeV rapid cycling synchrotron (April 2013), the ion source was operated at approximately 30 mA for 8 days. As a part of the beam current upgrade plan for the J-PARC, the front end test stand consisting of the ion source and the radio frequency quadrupole is under preparation. The RF-driven H(-) ion source developed for the J-PARC 2nd stage requirements will be tested at this test stand.

Abstract
We have shown previously that donor-derived splenocytes can replace recipients' bone marrow and induce donor-specific tolerance (DST). We have also shown the usefulness of the chimeric state for the induction of DST. Further analysis of mixed splenocytes chimera, especially the role of each T cells in mixed splenocytes chimera, is indispensable issue for its clinical use. A chimeric state has been shown to achieve long-term survival in major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mismatched grafts. The donor-derived splenocytes can replace recipients' bone marrow and induce DST. The long-term survival of allogeneic skin grafts was achieved without immunosuppressants. In this study we show the role of each T cell type in a splenocyte mixed chimera. This review provides a short summary of our original work, adding some supplemental interpretations. Mixed chimerism is thus considered an attractive approach for the induction of DST without the use of immunosuppressants. In this paper, we summarize some of the findings on mixed splenocyte chimeras and review mixed chimerism in recent organ transplantation.

Abstract
AIMS To compare the efficacy and safety of these two agents and the impact on surrogate markers related to diabetic complications in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS In a multicenter, open-label trial, 130 patients whose diabetes had been inadequately controlled (HbA1c, 6.9-9.5%) with metformin and/or sulphonylurea were randomly assigned to a sitagliptin group (50 mg/day) or a pioglitazone group (15 mg/day) and were followed up for 24 weeks. At 16 weeks, if the patient's HbA1c level was ≥6.5%, the dose of sitagliptin or pioglitazone was increased up to 100 or 30 mg/day, respectively. Main outcome measure was the difference in the mean changes in the HbA1c level from baseline at 24 weeks between these two groups. RESULTS Of the 130 patients who were enrolled, 115 subjects (sitagliptin group: 58 patients, pioglitazone group: 57 patients) completed this trial. At 0 weeks, the mean HbA1c level was 7.47 ± 0.66% in the sitagliptin group and 7.40 ± 0.61% in the pioglitazone group. At 24 weeks, the mean changes in the HbA1c level from baseline were -0.86 ± 0.63% versus -0.58 ± 0.68% (p = 0.024). Hypoglycaemia (2 patients, 3.4% vs. 2 patients, 3.5%), gastrointestinal symptoms (3 patients, 5.2% vs. 1 patient, 1.8%) and pretibial oedema (0 patients, 0% vs. 39 patients, 68.4%, p < 0.001) were observed for 24 weeks. CONCLUSIONS Sitagliptin was not only more tolerable, but also more effective than pioglitazone in Japanese type 2 diabetic patients who had been treated with metformin and/or sulphonylurea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Abdominal drains have been placed prophylactically and removed in liver resection without robust evidence. The present study was designed to establish the optimal time for removal of such drains. METHODS Data on abdominal prophylactic drains were analysed in a consecutive series of patients who underwent liver resection for malignancy between 2006 and 2009. Bilirubin levels in drain fluid were measured and bacteriological cultures were taken on days 1, 3, 5 and 7 after surgery. Drains were removed on day 3 if the drain-fluid bilirubin level was less than 5 mg/dl and bacteriological cultures were negative. Drains remained in situ until these conditions were met. RESULTS A total of 514 abdominal drains were placed in 316 patients operated on in the study period. Fifty-eight patients (18·4 per cent) had positive drain-fluid cultures and 14 (4·4 per cent) had bile leakage (drain-fluid bilirubin level 5 mg/dl or more). Only one patient required ultrasound-guided abdominal drainage. On multivariable analysis, drain-fluid bilirubin level on day 3 after surgery was the strongest predictor of infection (odds ratio 15·11, 95 per cent confidence interval 3·04 to 92·11; P < 0·001). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve on day 3 had the highest predictive value: 83·6 per cent accuracy and 3·9 per cent false-positive rate for a drain-fluid bilirubin level of 3·01 mg/dl (51·5 µmol/l). CONCLUSION The '3 × 3 rule' (drain-fluid bilirubin level below 3 mg/dl on day 3 after operation) is an accurate criterion for removal of prophylactically placed abdominal drains in liver resection.
