Abstract
Abstract
Background
It has been known that survival rates after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are lower at night than during the day. It may be explained by diurnal temperature changes.
Purpose
The purpose of the present study was to test our hypothesis that diurnal variation of the prognosis after OHCA would be independent from the ambient temperature changes.
Methods
We used the All-Japan Utstein Registry (2005–2010) combined with atmospheric temperature from the Automated Meteorological Data Acquisition System, and enrolled adult OHCA patients who had suffered from a witnessed cardiac arrest and who had been resuscitated.
The primary outcome was a favorable neurological outcome one month after OHCA and the secondary outcome was the presence of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) before hospital admission. Effects of business vs. non-business hours and ambient temperature on the primary and secondary outcomes were assessed with adjustment for factors that are known to potentially affect OHCA outcomes. Sub-group analysis based on the initial cardiac rhythm (VT/Vf, PEA and Asystole) was also performed.
Results
Among the 263,750 witnessed OHCA patients, neurological survival and ROSC rates were significantly increased with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.13 (95% CI 1.08–1.18) and hazard ratio (HR) of 1.06 (95% CI 1.04–1.09) for non-business hours, and OR of 1.11 (95% CI 1.05–1.17) and HR of 1.05 (95% CI 1.02–1.08) for each 20°C increase in temperature. The effects were different between business vs. non-business hours and ambient temperature dependent on the initial cardiac rhythm.
Conclusions
These findings suggest that both the outdoor temperature and business hours are independent factors for predicting neurological outcomes after OHCA with different characteristics based on the initial cardiac rhythms. Diurnal variability of prognosis after OHCA is likely to be attributable to diurnal variation of medical resources.

Abstract
A wide range of invertebrates harbor intracellular endosymbiotic bacteria. Within these endosymbionts, Wolbachia and Cardinium, have been attracting particular attention because these bacteria frequently affect the genetic structure and genetic diversity of their hosts. They cause various reproductive alterations such as cytoplasmic incompatibility, parthenogenesis induction, male-killing, and feminization. Through these alterations, they also affect the maternally inherited organelles of their hosts. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can be used for molecular phylogenetic analysis of invertebrates. However, in Wolbachia- or Cardinium-infected invertebrates, phylogenetic trees based on mtDNA are often inconsistent with those based on nuclear DNA. In the present study, we determined the Wolbachia/Cardinium infection status of 45 populations of the mite, Oligonychus castaneae Ehara & Gotoh (Acari: Tetranychidae), collected throughout Japan. Then, we compared phylogenetic trees of O. castaneae based on both the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene of mtDNA and the 28S rRNA gene of nuclear DNA to clarify the effects of Wolbachia and/or Cardinium infection. We found 106 Wolbachia-infected individuals and 250 Cardinium-infected individuals in a total of 450 individuals, indicating an infection rate of 79%. No double-infected individuals were observed. In the 28S tree, almost all populations formed a single group. In the COI tree, O. castaneae formed four separate groups that more closely followed Wolbachia/Cardinium infection than geographic distribution. These results strongly suggest that the endosymbionts affected mitochondrial variation of O. castaneae.

Abstract
We present the first measurements of absolute branching fractions of Ξ_{c}^{0} decays into Ξ^{-}π^{+}, ΛK^{-}π^{+}, and pK^{-}K^{-}π^{+} final states. The measurements are made using a dataset comprising (772±11)×10^{6} BB[over ¯] pairs collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e^{+}e^{-} collider. We first measure the absolute branching fraction for B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0} using a missing-mass technique; the result is B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})=(9.51±2.10±0.88)×10^{-4}. We subsequently measure the product branching fractions B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+}), B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→ΛK^{-}π^{+}), and B(B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0})B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→pK^{-}K^{-}π^{+}) with improved precision. Dividing these product branching fractions by the result for B^{-}→Λ[over ¯]_{c}^{-}Ξ_{c}^{0} yields the following branching fractions: B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+})=(1.80±0.50±0.14)%, B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→ΛK^{-}π^{+})=(1.17±0.37±0.09)%, and B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→pK^{-}K^{-}π^{+})=(0.58±0.23±0.05)%. For the above branching fractions, the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Our result for B(Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+}) can be combined with Ξ_{c}^{0} branching fractions measured relative to Ξ_{c}^{0}→Ξ^{-}π^{+} to yield other absolute Ξ_{c}^{0} branching fractions.

Abstract
We report the first observation of the double strange baryon Ξ(1620)^{0} in its decay to Ξ^{-}π^{+} via Ξ_{c}^{+}→Ξ^{-}π^{+}π^{+} decays based on a 980 fb^{-1} data sample collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The mass and width are measured to be 1610.4±6.0(stat)_{-4.2}^{+6.1} (syst) MeV/c^{2} and 59.9±4.8(stat)_{-7.1}^{+2.8}(syst) MeV, respectively. We obtain 4.0σ evidence of the Ξ(1690)^{0} with the same data sample. These results shed light on the structure of hyperon resonances with strangeness S=-2.

Abstract
We report the first observation of the spontaneous polarization of Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons transverse to the production plane in e^{+}e^{-} annihilation, which is attributed to the effect arising from a polarizing fragmentation function. For inclusive Λ/Λ[over ¯] production, we also report results with subtracted feed-down contributions from Σ^{0} and charm. This measurement uses a dataset of 800.4 fb^{-1} collected by the Belle experiment at or near a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV. We observe a significant polarization that rises with the fractional energy carried by the Λ/Λ[over ¯] hyperon.

Abstract
We report on the first Belle search for a light CP-odd Higgs boson, A^{0}, that decays into low mass dark matter, χ, in final states with a single photon and missing energy. We search for events produced via the dipion transition ϒ(2S)→ϒ(1S)π^{+}π^{-}, followed by the on-shell process ϒ(1S)→γA^{0} with A^{0}→χχ, or by the off-shell process ϒ(1S)→γχχ. Utilizing a data sample of 157.3×10^{6} ϒ(2S) decays, we find no evidence for a signal. We set limits on the branching fractions of such processes in the mass ranges M_{A^{0}}<8.97 GeV/c^{2} and M_{χ}<4.44 GeV/c^{2}. We then use the limits on the off-shell process to set competitive limits on WIMP-nucleon scattering in the WIMP mass range below 5 GeV/c^{2}.

First Evidence for cos2β>0 and Resolution of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa Quark-Mixing Unitarity Triangle Ambiguity. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2018; 121:261801.

Abstract
We present first evidence that the cosine of the CP-violating weak phase 2β is positive, and hence exclude trigonometric multifold solutions of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) Unitarity Triangle using a time-dependent Dalitz plot analysis of B^{0}→D^{(*)}h^{0} with D→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}π^{-} decays, where h^{0}∈{π^{0},η,ω} denotes a light unflavored and neutral hadron. The measurement is performed combining the final data sets of the BABAR and Belle experiments collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance at the asymmetric-energy B factories PEP-II at SLAC and KEKB at KEK, respectively. The data samples contain (471±3)×10^{6}BB[over ¯] pairs recorded by the BABAR detector and (772±11)×10^{6}BB[over ¯] pairs recorded by the Belle detector. The results of the measurement are sin2β=0.80±0.14(stat)±0.06(syst)±0.03(model) and cos2β=0.91±0.22(stat)±0.09(syst)±0.07(model). The result for the direct measurement of the angle β of the CKM Unitarity Triangle is β=[22.5±4.4(stat)±1.2(syst)±0.6(model)]°. The measurement assumes no direct CP violation in B^{0}→D^{(*)}h^{0} decays. The quoted model uncertainties are due to the composition of the D^{0}→K_{S}^{0}π^{+}π^{-} decay amplitude model, which is newly established by performing a Dalitz plot amplitude analysis using a high-statistics e^{+}e^{-}→cc[over ¯] data sample. CP violation is observed in B^{0}→D^{(*)}h^{0} decays at the level of 5.1 standard deviations. The significance for cos2β>0 is 3.7 standard deviations. The trigonometric multifold solution π/2-β=(68.1±0.7)° is excluded at the level of 7.3 standard deviations. The measurement resolves an ambiguity in the determination of the apex of the CKM Unitarity Triangle.

Abstract
We report the observation of ϒ(2S)→γη_{b}(1S) decay based on an analysis of the inclusive photon spectrum of 24.7 fb^{-1} of e^{+}e^{-} collisions at the ϒ(2S) center-of-mass energy collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. We measure a branching fraction of B[ϒ(2S)→γη_{b}(1S)]=(6.1_{-0.7-0.6}^{+0.6+0.9})×10^{-4} and derive an η_{b}(1S) mass of 9394.8_{-3.1-2.7}^{+2.7+4.5} MeV/c^{2}, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. The significance of our measurement is greater than 7 standard deviations, constituting the first observation of this decay mode.

Abstract
Background: In 2016, gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Globally, Japan and Korea are the only two countries implementing national screening program for gastric cancer. South Korea launched a biennial national -endoscopic screening program in 1999, which demonstrated a 47% reduction in gastric cancer mortality compared with no screening. In 2015, endoscopic screening was recommended by the Japanese Guideline for Gastric Cancer Screening. Currently, Japan's screening policy recommends endoscopic screening every 2 to 3 years for individuals aged 50 or above. Aim: This study aims to quantify the potential impacts of Japan's current national endoscopic screening policy and other alternative endoscopic screening options, and to identify a set of efficient endoscopic screening strategies for the current population of Japan. Methods: A microsimulation model of intestinal-type noncardia gastric adenocarcinoma was developed to simulate a virtual population with similar risk profile and life expectancy to the actual population of Japan. The model was calibrated and validated to the nationally-representative data from vital statistics and population-based cancer registries. The baseline scenario was modeled to project the current trend of gastric cancer. Variations among age of initiation (40, 45, 50, and 55), age of termination (75, 80, and 85), and screening interval (2, 5, 10, and 15 years) resulted in 39 unique endoscopic screening strategies for evaluation. In addition, the following three existing screening scenarios were included for analysis: the current screening program in Japan (screening every two or three years from age 50 years, with no termination) and Korea (biennial screening from age 40 years, with no termination). In total, 42 unique endoscopic screening strategies were simulated. Full adherence for all screening scenarios were assumed. Results: In comparison with baseline scenario, endoscopic screening strategies provided 43 to 203 life-years gained per 1000 individuals. The number of lifetime endoscopies per 1000 individuals ranged from 2281 to 28,635. The complications caused by screening were from 6 to 77 per 1000 individuals. The lifetime number of false-positive results ranged from 381 to 4941 per 1000 individuals. Scenarios simulating the current national endoscopic screening program in Japan and Korea fell below the efficient frontier. Under full adherence assumption, the most advantageous endoscopic screening strategy among evaluated scenarios is screening from age 40 to 80 years every 5 year. Conclusion: In this microsimulation modeling study with full adherence assumption, the findings suggest that the current national endoscopic screening program for gastric cancer in Japan might not be the most efficient screening option under benefit-to-harm consideration. The finding underpins the need for further investigation to bring up an efficient and cost-effective endoscopic screening program in Japan.

Abstract
A method is proposed that provides estimates of the spatial variation of elastic moduli using local displacements of the elastic body. A central issue of elastography imaging has been the limited area of measurement. With the proposed method, stiffness parameter estimations are considered as minimization problems using finite-element models. The sparseness of the gradient of tissue elasticity is also exploited to improve estimation accuracy. Simulation experiments show that based on a 5% area of observation of a simple plate model with non-uniform elasticity the spatial variation of Young's modulus is reconstructed to within 5% accuracy. This result suggests that the proposed framework significantly extends the area of estimation overcoming the limitations of conventional elastography techniques.

Abstract
We report the results of a search for the rare, purely leptonic decay B^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ} performed with a 711 fb^{-1} data sample that contains 772×10^{6} BB[over ¯] pairs, collected near the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The signal events are selected based on the presence of a high momentum muon and the topology of the rest of the event showing properties of a generic B-meson decay, as well as the missing energy and momentum being consistent with the hypothesis of a neutrino from the signal decay. We find a 2.4 standard deviation excess above background including systematic uncertainties, which corresponds to a branching fraction of B(B^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ})=(6.46±2.22±1.60)×10^{-7} or a frequentist 90% confidence level interval on the B^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ} branching fraction of [2.9,10.7]×10^{-7}.

Abstract
SummaryA Japanese boy, who had combined congenital defects - a hemorrhagic disorder due to abnormal platelet function and incomplete albinism, was described. His parents were first cousins. Platelet aggregation by collagen and epinephrine was markedly defective. A rapid disaggregation was observed in ADP-induced aggregation. Platelet factor 3 availability and in vitro adhesiveness were subnormal, while platelet factor 3 activity was normal. Defective ADP release was associated with impaired aggregation by collagen. Before aggregation, labeled adenine nucleotide pattern in patient’s platelets was not different from that in normal platelets. The increase of intermediates of platelet ATP breakdown, such as AMP and IMP, was less in patient’s platelets after collagen-induced aggregation. The release of labeled ATP and ADP in patient’s plasma was less than that in normal plasma.

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
This study investigated the occurrence of Escherichia coli pathotypes in sanitary wastewater and drinking water in a Bangladeshi urban slum and the potential associations between these sources. We examined 621 E. coli isolates from sanitary wastewater and stored drinking water by multiplex PCR and dual-index sequencing, classifying them into eight pathotypes based on 14 virulence genes and additionally evaluating the possession of the human-specific E. coli genetic biomarker H8. The proportions of pathogenic E. coli were significantly different (P < 0·001) between wastewater (18·6%) and drinking water (1·7%). StIb-positive enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) were predominant in wastewater, indicating that people in the site carried ETEC. In contrast, no ETEC was present in drinking water and the proportion of H8-positive isolates was significantly smaller (7·8%) than that in wastewater (16·3%) (P = 0·001). Our findings indicate that sanitary wastewater from the slum was heavily contaminated with pathogenic E. coli, posing a great health risk. Furthermore, E. coli contamination of drinking water could be derived from not only human but also other sources. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Sanitary wastewater from an urban slum was heavily contaminated with pathogenic Escherichia coli. It is worth noting a great health risk of accidental exposure to pathogenically contaminated wastewater improperly discharged in and around urban slums. The distinct difference in pathotypes between wastewater and drinking water and the significantly smaller positive proportion of the human-specific E. coli genetic biomarker (H8) in drinking water indicate that drinking water contamination could be derived from not only human but also other sources. This highlights that pathotyping in association with the H8 marker provides an indication of pathogen contamination sources of environmental transmission media.
