Abstract
This questionnaire survey was conducted at 11 hospitals in Japan to determine vaccination coverage against seasonal influenza and the prevalence rate of influenza among pregnant Japanese women. Of 2,808 postpartum women who gave birth at the 11 hospitals during the study period from March 1, 2014, to July 31, 2014, 1,713 (61 %) participated in this study and 876 (51 %) reported having received vaccination against influenza in or after October 2013. Women aged <25 years had a significantly lower vaccination rate than those aged ≥25 years (31 % vs. 53 %, respectively; p = 0.0000). Eighty-seven (5.1 %) and 1,626 (94.9 %) women did and did not contract influenza, respectively. Although prior birth did not affect overall vaccination coverage (50 % for primiparous vs. 53 % for multiparous), multiparous women had a significantly higher rate of contracting influenza than primiparous women, irrespective of vaccination status (5.6 % vs. 2.2 % [p = 0.0216] and 9.7 % vs. 3.5 % [p = 0.0003] for women with and without vaccination, respectively). The 2013-2014 vaccination program significantly reduced the influenza infection rate by 35 % (3.9 % vs. 6.3 % for women with and without vaccination, respectively; p = 0.0272). Seventy-two (83 %) of the 87 women took antiviral agents for the treatment of influenza and two (2.3 %) required hospitalization. These results suggested that pregnant Japanese women had a high level of concern regarding seasonal influenza. However, campaigns targeting young pregnant Japanese women, as well as multiparous women, for vaccination are needed in order to further reduce the incidence of influenza among pregnant Japanese women.

Abstract
Reconstruction following pharyngolaryngectomy with total esophagectomy is a challenging surgery to perform. Between April 2008 and August 2012, three types of modified gastric pull-up reconstruction procedures, including a gastric tube creation combined with a free jejunal transfer (n = 7), elongated gastric tube creation with vascular anastomoses (n = 2) and pedunculated gastric tube creation with Roux-en-Y anastomosis (n = 5), were performed after pharyngolaryngectomy with total esophagectomy. To clarify feasibility of these reconstructive methods, we retrospectively analyzed the short-term outcomes. There were no graft failures. Salivary fistulae were observed in two cases after high pharyngoenteral anastomoses due to oropharyngeal extension of hypopharyngeal cancers. Overall morbidity rate was 21.4%, and no deaths occurred. Although the operation time was shortest for pedunculated gastric tube reconstructions, morbidity rates were similar among all methods. All three types of modified gastric pull-up reconstruction procedures can be performed safely. We can choose one of these methods according to the tumor status and the patient condition, understanding advantages and disadvantages of each procedure.

Abstract
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is increasingly being used for the treatment of intrathoracic malignancies. Although RFA has been found to be promising in the treatment of lung metastases from some types of neoplasms, little is known concerning its clinical significance in the treatment of pulmonary metastasis from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This retrospective study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of computed tomography-guided RFA for pulmonary metastasis from ESCC. A series of 10 ESCC patients with 17 pulmonary tumors were included. Correct placement of the ablation device into the target tumor proved to be feasible in all tumors (100%). The mean visual analog scale score, with values that ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain possible), was 1. This suggested that this procedure was well tolerated. No procedure-related deaths occurred. A pneumothorax needing drainage was a major complication in two patients. Local control of ablated tumor lasting for at least 1 year was achieved in 10 (83%) of 12 assessable tumors. Although locoregional recurrences developed in two tumors, these lesions could be recontrolled by repeat treatment with RFA. Three patients died of recurrent disease. The predicted 1- and 2-year overall survival rates after lung RFA were 77.8% and 62.2%, respectively. Percutaneous computed tomography-guided RFA yielded relatively high levels of local control in patients with pulmonary metastases from ESCC and was associated with an acceptable level of complications. It was concluded that a prospective study will be necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of a combination of systemic therapy and RFA for ESCC lung metastases.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is a causative agent of swine erysipelas. We developed a novel and highly specific loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for sensitive and rapid detection of E. rhusiopathiae. The LAMP assay correctly detected 39 E. rhusiopathiae strains. No LAMP products were detected from 14 non-rhusiopathiae Erysipelothrix and 16 non-Erysipelothrix strains, including E. tonsillarum serovar 10 strains, which are difficult to be discriminated from E. rhusiopathiae strains. These results were consistent with those obtained by a conventional E. rhusiopathiae-specific PCR assay. Starting with DNA extraction from a single colony, the gel-based PCR assay took 4 h to provide a result, but the LAMP assay was faster, requiring only 37-80 min. The conventional culture test required more than 3-4 days to isolate and identify E. rhusiopathiae in the enrichment cultures. In contrast, the LAMP assay required less than 22 h from the beginning of the enrichment culture to final determination. These results suggest that the LAMP assay is useful as an adjunct to facilitate early diagnosis of swine erysipelas. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This is the first report of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for simple and cost-effective detection of E. rhusiopathiae from swine samples. The LAMP assay provided more rapid detection of the bacterium than conventional PCR and biochemical-based assays, and it may potentially facilitate surveillance and early diagnosis of swine erysipelas in the field.

Abstract
A limited number of patients with resectable advanced esophageal cancer can be cured by surgery alone. Although a regimen that consists of docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil (DCF) is a potential preoperative chemotherapy (PCT) option for squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, the influence of DCF on subsequent esophagectomies remains unclear. A total of 80 patients who received preoperative DCF chemotherapy, and 174 patients who did not receive any preoperative treatment were retrospectively analyzed. There were no treatment-related deaths. No delays in surgery due to adverse events related to DCF were reported. Although patients who received PCT had significantly more advanced cancers and worse preoperative conditions, the incidence rates of complications did not increase. Although the frequency of severe complications was significantly higher in patients who received PCT, this treatment was not an independent factor for the occurrence of severe complications. PCT with DCF did not negatively affect subsequent esophagectomies with regard to the frequency of complications.

Abstract
Background: LINE-1 methylation level is a surrogate marker of global DNA methylation. LINE-1 methylation in primary colorectal cancers (CRCs) is highly variable and strongly associated with a poor prognosis. However, no study has examined LINE-1 methylation levels of metastatic CRCs in relation to prognosis or assessed the heterogeneity of LINE-1 methylation level within the primary CRCs. Methods: Pyrosequencing was used to quantify LINE-1 methylation level in 42 liver metastases, 26 matched primary tumours, and 6 matched lymph node (LN) metastases. KRAS, BRAF, and PIK3CA mutation status and microsatellite instability (MSI) status were also examined. Results: The distribution of LINE-1 methylation level in liver metastases was as follows: mean, 67.3; range, 37.1–90.1. Primary tumours showed LINE-1 methylation levels similar to those of matched liver and LN metastases. The difference in LINE-1 methylation level between superficial areas and invasive front areas was within 7.0 in all six cases evaluated. Prognostic impact of LINE-1 hypomethylation in liver metastases on overall survival was not observed. The concordance rate was 94% for KRAS, 100% for BRAF, 88% for PIK3CA, and 97% for MSI. Conclusion: Alteration of LINE-1 methylation level may occur in early CRC tumorigenesis, and the LINE-1 methylation level is relatively stable during CRC progression.

Abstract
We revealed that the Ba(Co0.85Mn0.15)O3-δ ceramic samples exhibited ferromagnetic-dielectric behavior below the magnetic transition temperature of about 35 K. The origin of their magnetic ordering was expected to super-exchange coupling of Co4+(d5)-O2--Mn4+(d3) with bonding angle of 180° and/or Mn4+(d3)-O2--Mn4+(d3) with bonding angle of 90°. The magnetic spin momentum estimated by the magnetic Compton profiles (MCP) of the samples had similar temperature dependence as that determined by the temperature dependence of magnetic moment by superconducting quantum interference device, which meant that the observed magnetic moments could be ascribed to the spin moment. The shapes of the MCPs of the samples were completely same regardless of the temperature measured. This result indicates that there are no changes of the momentum space distribution of spin density between ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states. So, this magnetic transition is simply caused by a thermal fluctuation of the spin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The updated randomised phase 2/3 FIRIS study demonstrated the noninferiority of IRIS (irinotecan and S-1) to FOLFIRI (irinotecan, folinic acid, and 5-FU) for metastatic colorectal cancer. Meanwhile, in the subset analysis including patients who previously have undergone oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy, the IRIS group showed longer survival than the FOLFIRI group. However, the molecular mechanism underlying this result is still unknown. METHODS The National Cancer Institute 60 (NCI60) cell line panel data were utilised to build the hypothesis. A total of 45 irinotecan-naive metastatic colorectal cancer patients who had undergone hepatic resection were included for the validation study. The mRNA expressions of excision repair cross-complementing group 1 (ERCC1), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), and topoisomerase-1 (TOP1) were evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR. The expressions of ERCC1 and DPD were also evaluated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Sensitivity to oxaliplatin in 60 cell lines was significantly correlated with that of 5-FU. Resistant cells to oxaliplatin showed significantly higher ERCC1 and DPD expression than sensitive cells. In validation study, ERCC1 and DPD but not TOP1 expressions in cancer cells were significantly higher in FOLFOX (oxaliplatin, folinic acid, and 5-FU)-treated patients (N=24) than nontreated patients (N=21). The ERCC1 and DPD protein expressions were also significantly higher in FOLFOX-treated patients. CONCLUSION The ERCC1 and DPD expression levels at both mRNA and protein levels were significantly higher in patients with oxaliplatin as a first-line chemotherapy than those without oxaliplatin. The IRIS regimens with the DPD inhibitory fluoropyrimidine may show superior activity against DPD-high tumours (e.g., tumours treated with oxaliplatin) compared with FOLFIRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic administration of dexmedetomidine (DEX; selective α(2) -adrenoceptor agonist) is found to inhibit diffuse noxious inhibitory control in rats, now referred to as conditioned pain modulation (CPM) in humans. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of intravenous administration of DEX on CPM in humans. METHODS There were two sequential sessions in this double blind, randomized study. The first session was the control with normal saline infusion (N(1st), L(1st), H(1st)). During the second session, three types of agents were infused: normal saline (N(2nd)); a low plasma concentration of DEX (0.04 ng/mL; L(2nd)); and a high plasma concentration of DEX (0.08 ng/mL; H(2nd)). The amplitude of somatosensory evoked potentials (ampSEP)s and the visual analogue scale of tooth pain (VASt) induced by electrical tooth stimulation were evaluated with and without conditioning CO(2) laser stimulation of the hand. The inhibition rate (% inhibition) was calculated [= (1-[ampSEP or VASt with conditioning stimuli]/[ampSEP or VASt without conditioning stimuli]) × 100] to compare the magnitude of the DEX effects on CPM. RESULTS The inhibition rates of ampSEPs and VASt in Types N, L and H varied significantly, demonstrating a dose-dependent reduction of CPM effects of ampSEP and VASt during randomized DEX administration, consistent with results from animal studies. CONCLUSIONS The present study shows that systemic administration of an α(2) -adrenoceptor agonist (DEX), less than the clinical dose, inhibited CPM in humans. These results may provide some mechanistic insight into why many chronic pain patients show impaired CPM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSES Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a common sleep disorder in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Non-ergot dopamine agonists increase the risk of unanticipated sleep episodes. OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the influence of renal function on EDS in patients with PD. METHODS Sixty-two patients treated with ropinirole or pramipexole were recruited for this study. We evaluated the historical and clinical characteristics including the motor symptom rating scales, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). An ESS score of 10 or greater was defined as EDS. Participants with eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) were determined to have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the predictive factors of EDS. RESULTS Chronic kidney disease was found to be a significant predictive factor for EDS in all patients (P = 0.014). We observed a negative correlation between the severity of daytime sleepiness and renal function in patients treated with pramipexole alone (r(s) = -0.637, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Chronic kidney disease may be a risk factor for EDS, especially in patients treated with pramipexole, which is directly excreted in the urine.
