Elevated receptor for activated C kinase 1 expression is involved in intracellular Ca2+ influx and potentially associated with compromised regulatory T cell function in patients with asthma. Clin Exp Allergy 2015; 44:1154-69. [PMID: 25048599 DOI: 10.1111/cea.12375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2013] [Revised: 05/09/2014] [Accepted: 07/02/2014] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Regulatory T cells (T(regs)) are activated during anergy in response to T cell receptor (TCR) activation and functional immune suppression. Anergy of paediatric T(regs) is partially dependent on intracellular calcium mobility; following TCR activation, T(regs) do not exhibit increased intracellular Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+) ](i)). OBJECTIVE We determined whether [Ca(2+) ](i) in adult T(regs) defined their anergy, if intracellular Ca(2+) movement was linked to regulatory functions, whether [Ca(2+)](i) was indicative of asthma pathology, and the potential molecular mechanism responsible for Ca(2+) movement in T(regs). METHODS T(regs) were purified by the magnetic bead method, and their regulatory functions were assessed by monitoring carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester-labelled responder T cell proliferation. The Ca(2+) response of Fura-2-labelled cells was measured using a video image analysis system. To analyse the functions of T(regs) at the molecular level, we generated Jurkat Tet-On(®) clones with doxycycline (Dox)-induced forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) protein expression. RESULTS CD4(+) CD25(+) CD127(-/low) T(regs) from participants without asthma did not elicit Ca(2+) influx in response to TCR activation, exhibited little proliferation and suppressed proliferation of CD4(+) CD25(-) T cells. In contrast, under similar conditions, T(regs) from patients with asthma exhibited increased [Ca(2+)](i) and robust proliferation with partial loss of regulatory functions. FOXP3 protein levels in Tet-On(®) clones were high after both 2- and 5-day Dox treatment; however, 5-day cells were comparable with T(regs) from patients with asthma, whereas 2-day cells were similar to T(regs) from participants without asthma. Increasing [Ca(2+)](i) induced a high level of receptor for activated C kinase 1 (RACK1) expression in 5-day cells. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE We confirmed that T(regs) in patients with asthma are functionally impaired and that the abnormal regulatory functions of these cells can be analysed by [Ca(2+)](i) following TCR engagement. Furthermore, the impaired functioning of T(regs) evident in patients with asthma may be due to a high level of RACK1.

Abstract
Super-Kamiokande (SK) can search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) by detecting neutrinos produced from WIMP annihilations occurring inside the Sun. In this analysis, we include neutrino events with interaction vertices in the detector in addition to upward-going muons produced in the surrounding rock. Compared to the previous result, which used the upward-going muons only, the signal acceptances for light (few-GeV/c^{2}-200-GeV/c^{2}) WIMPs are significantly increased. We fit 3903 days of SK data to search for the contribution of neutrinos from WIMP annihilation in the Sun. We found no significant excess over expected atmospheric-neutrino background and the result is interpreted in terms of upper limits on WIMP-nucleon elastic scattering cross sections under different assumptions about the annihilation channel. We set the current best limits on the spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross section for WIMP masses below 200 GeV/c^{2} (at 10 GeV/c^{2}, 1.49×10^{-39} cm^{2} for χχ→bb[over ¯] and 1.31×10^{-40} cm^{2} for χχ→τ^{+}τ^{-} annihilation channels), also ruling out some fraction of WIMP candidates with spin-independent coupling in the few-GeV/c^{2} mass range.

Abstract
Neutron monitoring is important to manage safety of fusion experiment facilities because neutrons are generated in fusion reactions. Monte Carlo simulations play an important role in evaluating the influence of neutron scattering from various structures and correcting differences between deuterium plasma experiments and in situ calibration experiments. We evaluated these influences based on differences between the both experiments at Large Helical Device using Monte Carlo simulation code MCNP5. A difference between the both experiments in absolute detection efficiency of the fission chamber between O-ports is estimated to be the biggest of all monitors. We additionally evaluated correction coefficients for some neutron monitors.

Abstract
A fast time response, wide dynamic range neutron flux monitor has been developed toward the LHD deuterium operation by using leading-edge signal processing technologies providing maximum counting rate up to ∼5 × 10(9) counts/s. Because a maximum total neutron emission rate over 1 × 10(16) n/s is predicted in neutral beam-heated LHD plasmas, fast response and wide dynamic range capabilities of the system are essential. Preliminary tests have demonstrated successful performance as a wide dynamic range monitor along the design.

Abstract
The trilepton nucleon decay modes p→e+νν and p→μ+νν violate |Δ(B-L)| by two units. Using data from a 273.4 kt yr exposure of Super-Kamiokande a search for these decays yields a fit consistent with no signal. Accordingly, lower limits on the partial lifetimes of τp→e+νν>1.7×10(32) years and τp→μ+νν>2.2×10(32) years at a 90% confidence level are obtained. These limits can constrain Grand Unified Theories which allow for such processes.

Abstract
Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is a clinical diagnosis that encompasses a group of genetic mutations, each affecting processes involved in tooth enamel formation and thus, result in various enamel defects. The hypomaturation enamel phenotype has been described for mutations involved in the later stage of enamel formation, including Klk4, Mmp20, C4orf26, and Wdr72. Using a candidate gene approach we discovered a novel Wdr72 human mutation in association with AI to be a 5-base pair deletion (c.806_810delGGCAG; p.G255VfsX294). To gain insight into the function of WDR72, we used computer modeling of the full-length human WDR72 protein structure and found that the predicted N-terminal sequence forms two beta-propeller folds with an alpha-solenoid tail at the C-terminus. This domain iteration is characteristic of vesicle coat proteins, such as beta'-COP, suggesting a role for WDR72 in the formation of membrane deformation complexes to regulate intracellular trafficking. Our Wdr72 knockout mouse model (Wdr72(-/-)), containing a LacZ reporter knock-in, exhibited hypomineralized enamel similar to the AI phenotype observed in humans with Wdr72 mutations. MicroCT scans of Wdr72(-/-) mandibles affirmed the hypomineralized enamel phenotype occurring at the onset of the maturation stage. H&E staining revealed a shortened height phenotype in the Wdr72(-/-) ameloblasts with retained proteins in the enamel matrix during maturation stage. H(+)/Cl(-) exchange transporter 5 (CLC5), an early endosome acidifier, was co-localized with WDR72 in maturation-stage ameloblasts and decreased in Wdr72(-/-) maturation-stage ameloblasts. There were no obvious differences in RAB4A and LAMP1 immunostaining of Wdr72(-/-) mice as compared to wildtype controls. Moreover, Wdr72(-/-) ameloblasts had reduced amelogenin immunoreactivity, suggesting defects in amelogenin fragment resorption from the matrix. These data demonstrate that WDR72 has a major role in enamel mineralization, most notably during the maturation stage, and suggest a function involving endocytic vesicle trafficking, possibly in the removal of amelogenin proteins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In steroid-naive patients with asthma, several gene variants are associated with a short-term response to inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment; this has mostly been observed in Caucasians. However, not many studies have been conducted for other ethnicities. Here, we aimed to determine the relationship between the annual decline in forced expiratory flow volume in one second (FEV1 ) and the variant of the glucocorticoid-induced transcript 1 gene (GLCCI1) in Japanese patients with asthma receiving long-term ICS treatment, taking into account the effect of high serum periostin levels, a known association factor of pulmonary function decline and a marker of refractory eosinophilic/Th2 inflammation. METHODS In this study, 224 patients with asthma receiving ICS treatment for at least 4 years were enrolled. The effects of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GLCCI1, stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1), and T gene on the decline in FEV1 of 30 ml/year or greater were determined. RESULTS Besides the known contributing factors, that is, the most intensive treatment step, ex-smoking, and high serum periostin levels (≥95 ng/ml), the GG genotype of GLCCI1 rs37973, and not other SNPs, was independently associated with a decline in FEV1 of 30 ml/year or greater. When patients were stratified according to their serum periostin levels, the GG genotype of rs37973 was significantly associated with blood eosinophilia (≥250/μl) in the high serum periostin group. CONCLUSIONS A GLCCI1 variant is a risk factor of pulmonary function decline in Japanese patients with asthma receiving long-term ICS treatment. Thus, GLCCI1 may be associated with response to ICS across ethnicities.

Abstract
We report an indication that the elastic scattering rate of solar B8 neutrinos with electrons in the Super-Kamiokande detector is larger when the neutrinos pass through Earth during nighttime. We determine the day-night asymmetry, defined as the difference of the average day rate and average night rate divided by the average of those two rates, to be [-3.2 ± 1.1(stat) ± 0.5(syst)]%, which deviates from zero by 2.7 σ. Since the elastic scattering process is mostly sensitive to electron-flavored solar neutrinos, a nonzero day-night asymmetry implies that the flavor oscillations of solar neutrinos are affected by the presence of matter within the neutrinos' flight path. Super-Kamiokande's day-night asymmetry is consistent with neutrino oscillations for 4 × 10(-5) eV(2) ≤ Δm 2(21) ≤ 7 × 10(-5) eV(2) and large mixing values of θ12, at the 68% C.L.

Abstract
To assess the migration patterns of radiocesium emitted from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP), we analyzed (228)Ra/(226)Ra ratios and (7)Be concentrations and compared them with (134)Cs and (137)Cs concentrations in seawater samples collected within the Sea of Japan before and after the FDNPP accident (i.e., during the period 2007-2012) using low-background γ-spectrometry. The (228)Ra/(226)Ra ratios in surface waters exhibited lateral and seasonal variations, reflecting the flow patterns of surface water. This indicates the transport patterns of the FDNPP-derived radiocesium by surface water. Cosmogenic (7)Be (half-life: 53.3 d) exhibited markedly high concentrations (5-10 mBq/L) at depths shallower than 50 m, with concentrations decreasing steeply (0.2-2 mBq/L) at depths of 50-250 m. The distribution of (7)Be concentrations suggests that the downward delivery of the FDNPP-derived radiocesium to below 50 m depth was negligible for a few months prior to its removal from the Sea of Japan.

Abstract
The temperature and polarization dependence of the optical reflectivity spectra of a quasi-one-dimensional 1/4-filled band system, (DMEDO-EBDT)(2)PF(6), have been investigated. We observed clear anisotropy in the electronic structures corresponding to the anisotropic transport properties. The appearance of a charge gap (E(g) > 0.1 eV) and transfer of the spectral weight accompanied by the metal-insulator phase transition were clearly observed. In addition, a split of the intramolecular vibrational modes was observed, which strongly suggested the existence of charge disproportionation in the low temperature phase. We also observed a photoinduced reflectivity change, which implied the occurrence of a photoinduced phase transition from the low temperature insulating phase to the high temperature metallic phase.

Abstract
This study evaluated the differences between linear and non-linear modelled heritability estimates of racing performance based on lifetime earnings (LE) and lifetime ranking (LR) in Japanese Thoroughbred racehorses. The heritability estimate (h(2) = 0.25) obtained from a non-linear model based on formal Japan Racing Association ranking was much higher than that obtained from a linear model based on the original trait phenotype (h(2) = 0.11). The linear models showed slightly higher heritability estimates under the trait categorizations than under the original phenotypes, while the non-linear categorical trait models showed much higher heritability estimates than the linear models, especially for binary trait categorizations (h(2) = 0.34) with non-winning and winning horses. The binary trait categorizations were consistent with the case and control classifications in the previous genome-wide association study (GWAS), which identified possible sequence variants on ECA18 that affect racing performance in Japanese Thoroughbred racehorses. Those findings suggested that the different heritability estimates obtained from several trait categorizations would reflect the possible presence of susceptibility gene segregations in the analyzed population, indicating that heritability estimates from non-linear models are useful for the selection of case and control populations in GWAS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: An inappropriate skin incision on the breast reduces the cosmetic benefit of breast-conserving surgery (BCS).
Methods: To improve the cosmetic outcome, we have performed “Moving window” operation in which BCS can be performed via a periareolar incision (periareolar approach) and/or axillary incision (axillary approach) under direct visualization. Axillary lymph node dissection is also performed via an axillary incision.
Results: Periareolar approach was performed in 65 patients and axillary approach in 43 patients. Average operation time was 130 minutes in periareolar approach and 131 minutes in axillary approach. Average blood loss was 37 mL and 50 mL, respectively. Postoperatively, the surgical margin of breast tissue was histologically confirmed to be negative in 107 (99%) of 108 patients, while two patients underwent reoperation because of positive surgical margin. Fifty-two patients (85%) in periareolar approach and 37 patients (86%) in axillary approach had excellent or good cosmetic results.
With a mean follow-up of 36 months, one patient with DCIS developed in-breast recurrence, while 3 patients who had neoadjuvant chemotherapy developed in-breast recurrence.
Conclusion: The moving window operation can improve a cosmetic outcome of the conserved breast without compromising the oncological safety.
Moreover, it can reduce operating time and blood loss when compared with the endoscope-assisted BCS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The axillary reverse mapping (ARM) procedure is based on the hypothesis that the lymphatic drainage from the upper arm is different from that of the breast. However, the oncologic safety of the procedure has not yet been determined.
Methods: The ARM nodes were identified using a fluorescence imaging system. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy was performed in patients with clinically uninvolved nodes. If the SLN was positive, ALND was performed with removal of ARM nodes. Otherwise, the identified ARM nodes were preserved unless they were the same as the SLN.
Results: The ARM node was identified in 30 of 91 patients who underwent SLN biopsy, and it was the same as the SLN in 23 patients. However, in 13 patients with a positive SLN who subsequently underwent ALND, ARM nodes were tumor-free when they were not the same as the positive SLN.
Conclusions: There are limits to the principle of non-overlap between breast and arm nodes. However, it may be feasible to spare ARM nodes during ALND in patients with clinically negative nodes.

Abstract
AbstractLow dielectric constant F-doped silicon oxide films (SiO:F) can be prepared by adding fluorine source, like as CF4 to the conventional PECVD processes. We could obtain SiO:F films with dielectric constant as low as 2.6 from the reaction mixture of SiH4/N2 O/CF4. The structural changes of the oxides were sensitively detected by Raman spectroscopy. The three-fold ring and network structure of the silicon oxides were selectively decreased by adding fluorine into the film. These structural changes contribute to the decrease ionic polarization of the film, but it was not the major factor for the low dielectric constant. The addition of fluorine was very effective to eliminate the Si-OH in the film and the disappearance of the Si-OH was the key factor to obtain low dielectric constant. A kinetic analysis of the process was also performed to investigate the reaction mechanism. We focused on the effect of gas flow rate, i.e. the residence time of the precursors in the reactor, on growth rate and step coverage of SiO:F films. It revealed that there exists two species to form SiO:F films. One is the reactive species which contributes to increase the growth rate and the other one is the less reactive species which contributes to have uniform step coverage. The same approach was made on the PECVD process to produce low-k C:F films from C2F4, and we found ionic species is the main precursor to form C:F films.

Abstract
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) occurs from loss-of-function mutation in the tissue-non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNALP) gene, resulting in extracellular pyrophosphate accumulation that inhibits skeletal and dental mineralization. TNALP-null mice (Akp2(-/-)) phenocopy human infantile hypophosphatasia; they develop rickets at 1 week of age, and die before being weaned, having severe skeletal and dental hypomineralization and episodes of apnea and vitamin B(6)-responsive seizures. Delay and defects in dentin mineralization, together with a deficiency in acellular cementum, are characteristic. We report the prevention of these dental abnormalities in Akp2(-/-) mice receiving treatment from birth with daily injections of a mineral-targeting, human TNALP (sALP-FcD(10)). sALP-FcD(10) prevented hypomineralization of alveolar bone, dentin, and cementum as assessed by micro-computed tomography and histology. Osteopontin--a marker of acellular cementum--was immuno-localized along root surfaces, confirming that acellular cementum, typically missing or reduced in Akp2(-/-) mice, formed normally. Our findings provide insight concerning how acellular cementum is formed on tooth surfaces to effect periodontal ligament attachment to retain teeth in their osseous alveolar sockets. Furthermore, they provide evidence that this enzyme-replacement therapy, applied early in post-natal life--where the majority of tooth root development occurs, including acellular cementum formation--could prevent the accelerated tooth loss seen in individuals with HPP.

Abstract
A male baby was delivered by emergency cesarean section due to fetal distress at 30 weeks of gestational age with a birth weight of 813 g. By fetal echocardiography, the patient had been diagnosed with transposition of great arteries (type 1). Early two-staged arterial switch operation was planned after 34 gestational age avoiding intracranial hemorrhage under cardiopulmonary bypass. At 19 days of life, vegetation was revealed on the pulmonary valve by echocardiography, so he was diagnosed as infectious endocarditis. Cefotaxime and gamma-globulin were given intravenously for 4 weeks. While waiting for the increase in the body weight, desaturation from chronic respiratory distress syndrome was exacerbated. At 8 months old, urgent Senning operation was performed to improve desaturation. The patient was discharged at 20 post operative day. We conclude that Senning operation can be feasible operation in such a complicated case.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Some recent studies on radiation lens injuries have indicated much lower dose thresholds than specified by the current radiation protection guidelines. The purpose of this research was to measure the lens dose during brain CT scans with multidetector row CT and to assess methods for estimating the lens dose. MATERIALS AND METHODS With 8 types of multidetector row CT scanners, both axial and helical scans were obtained for the head part of a human-shaped phantom by using normal clinical settings with the orbitomeatal line as the baseline. We measured the doses on both eyelids by using an RPLGD during whole-brain scans including the orbit with the starting point at the level of the inferior orbital rim. To assess the effect of the starting points on the lens doses, we measured the lens doses by using 2 other starting points for scanning (the orbitomeatal line and the superior orbital rim). RESULTS The CTDIvols and the lens doses during whole-brain CT including the orbit were 50.9-113.3 mGy and 42.6-103.5 mGy, respectively. The ratios of lens dose to CTDIvol were 80.6%-103.4%. The lens doses decreased as the starting points were set more superiorly. The lens doses during scans from the superior orbital rim were 11.8%-20.9% of the doses during the scans from the inferior orbital rim. CONCLUSIONS CTDIvol can be used to estimate the lens dose during whole-brain CT when the orbit is included in the scanning range.

Abstract
Geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) are naturally occurring compounds responsible for musty-earthy-odors in surface water supplies. They are a severe problem confronting utilities worldwide. Adsorption by powdered activated carbon (PAC) is a widely used process to control this problem, but it has low efficiency, which engenders large budget spending for utilities services. Super-powdered activated carbon (S-PAC) is activated carbon with much finer particles than those of PAC. Experiments on geosmin and 2-MIB adsorptions on S-PAC and PAC were conducted. Geosmin and 2-MIB adsorption capacities on S-PAC were not smaller than those on PAC although natural organic matter, which adversely impacted the adsorption capacity of geosmin and 2-MIB, was more adsorbed on S-PAC than on PAC, meaning that the adsorption competition is less severe for S-PAC than for PAC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES We herein describe our technique for retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty with concomitant nephropexy in patients with a ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction in combination with nephroptosis. METHODS We performed this operation on three female patients with a right UPJ obstruction and nephroptosis diagnosed by intravenous urography, retrograde pyelography, computed tomography and an isotopic renogram. All patients underwent the insertion of a ureteral stent before laparoscopy, and they were placed in the flank position. A four-port, balloon-dissecting, retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach was used. Gerota's fascia was incised and the perirenal fat was completely dissected from the kidney. A UPJ obstruction was identified and pyeloplasty was performed using Anderson-Hynes dismembered anastomosis. Next, kidney fixation to the abdominal wall was performed by rows of renal capsular 2-0 nylon sutures which were secured to the quadratus lumborum fascia. All procedures were performed retroperitoneoscopically. RESULTS The median operative time was 350 min with a range from 204 to 414 min. The median estimated blood loss was 50 ml with a range from 10 to 200 ml. The postoperative hospital stay was 6 days. There were no postoperative complications. The ureteral stent was removed at 6 weeks after surgery. Postoperative urography revealed a complete resolution of hydronephrosis in all cases with one complete resolution and two cases with an improvement of nephroptosis. All patients had a complete resolution of their symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Retroperitoneoscopic pyeloplasty with concomitant nephropexy seems to be a feasible, effective and minimally invasive procedure for treating UPJ obstruction in combination with nephroptosis.
