Abstract
OBJECTIVE Spinal stimulation is a promising method for restoring the function of paralyzed limbs following neurological damage to descending pathways. The present study examined the forelimb movements and muscle responses evoked by subdural spinal stimulation of the cervical cord in sedated monkeys or during an arm-reaching task. APPROACH We chronically implanted a platinum subdural electrode array with eight channels over the dorsal-lateral aspect of the cervical enlargement. The electrodes had a diameter of 1 mm and an inter-electrode center-to-center distance of 3 mm. Subdural spinal micro-stimulation was delivered at sites while the monkeys were sedated or performed arm-reaching movements. MAIN RESULTS The evoked movements clearly showed the somatotopic map of the output sites; the electrodes located on the rostral cervical cord tended to induce movements of the proximal arm, whereas the caudal electrodes tended to induce movements of the distal joints, such as the wrist and digits. To document the muscle responses evoked by subdural spinal stimulation, stimulus-triggered averages of rectified electromyograms were compiled when the monkeys performed an arm-reaching task or were sedated. Under sedation, evoked facilitative muscle responses were observed in vicinity muscles. In contrast, during the task, stimulation evoked facilitative or suppressive responses in multiple muscles, including those located on proximal and distal joints, while somatotopy became blurred under sedation. Furthermore, stimulation during tasks activated synergistic muscle groups. For example, stimuli strongly facilitated finger extensor muscles, but suppressed the antagonist muscles. SIGNIFICANCE These dynamic changes in muscle representation by subdural cervical spinal stimulation between sedated and awake states help our understanding of the nature of spinal circuits and will facilitate the development of neuroprosthetic technology to regain motor function after neural damage to the descending pathways.

Abstract
The mechanism by which the cytosolic protein Zap70 physically interacts with and phosphorylates its substrate, the transmembrane protein LAT, upon T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation remains largely obscure. In this study, we found that the pharmacological inhibition of formins, a major class of actin nucleators, suppressed LAT phosphorylation by Zap70, despite TCR stimulation-dependent phosphorylation of Zap70 remaining intact. High-resolution imaging and three-dimensional image reconstruction revealed that localization of phosphorylated Zap70 to the immune synapse (IS) and subsequent LAT phosphorylation are critically dependent on formin-mediated actin polymerization. Using knockout mice, we identify mDia1 and mDia3, which are highly expressed in T cells and which localize to the IS upon TCR activation, as the critical formins mediating this process. Our findings therefore describe previously unsuspected roles for mDia1 and mDia3 in the spatiotemporal control of Zap70-dependent LAT phosphorylation at the IS through regulation of filamentous actin, and underscore their physiological importance in TCR signaling.

Abstract
In a recent study, we demonstrated that the ventral striatum (VSt) controls finger movements directly during the early recovery stage after spinal cord injury (SCI), implying that the VSt may be a part of neural substrates responsible for the recovery of dexterous finger movements. The VSt is accepted widely as a key node for motivation, but is not thought to be involved in the direct control of limb movements. Therefore, whether a causal relationship exists between the VSt and motor recovery after SCI is unknown, and the role of the VSt in the recovery of dexterous finger movements orfinger movements in general after SCI remains unclear. In the present study, functional brain imaging in a macaque model of SCI revealed a strengthened functional connectivity between motor-related areas and the VSt during the recovery process for precision grip, but not whole finger grip after SCI. Furthermore, permanent lesion of the VSt impeded the recoveryof precision grip, but not coarse grip. Thus, the VSt was needed specifically for functional recovery of dexterous finger movements. These results suggest that the VSt is the key node of the cortical reorganization required for functional recovery of finger dexterity.

Abstract
Background We assessed the non-inferiority of accelerated fractionation (AF) (2.4 Gy/fraction) compared with standard fractionation (SF) (2 Gy/fraction) regarding progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with T1-2N0M0 glottic cancer (GC). Patients and methods In this multi-institutional, randomized, phase III trial, patients were enrolled from 32 Japanese institutions. Key inclusion criteria were GC T1-2N0M0, age 20-80, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1, and adequate organ function. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either SF of 66-70 Gy (33-35 fractions), or AF of 60-64.8 Gy (25-27 fractions). The primary end point was the proportion of 3-year PFS. The planned sample size was 360 with a non-inferiority margin of 5%. Results Between 2007 and 2013, 370 patients were randomized (184/186 to SF/AF). Three-year PFS was 79.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 73.4-85.4) for SF and 81.7% (95% CI 75.4-87.0) for AF (difference 1.8%, 91% CI-5.1% to 8.8%; one-sided P = 0.047 > 0.045). The cumulative incidences of local failure at 3 years for SF/AF were 15.9%/10.3%. No significant difference was observed in 3-year overall survival (OS) between SF and AF. Grade 3 or 4 acute and late toxicities developed in 22 (12.4%)/21 (11.5%) and 2 (1.1%)/1 (0.5%) in the SF/AF arms. Conclusion Although the non-inferiority of AF was not confirmed statistically, the similar efficacy and toxicity of AF compared with SF, as well as the practical convenience of its fewer treatment sessions, suggest the potential of AF as a treatment option for early GC.

Abstract
Regaining the function of an impaired limb is highly desirable in paralyzed individuals. One possible avenue to achieve this goal is to bridge the interrupted pathway between preserved neural structures and muscles using a brain–computer interface. Here, we demonstrate that monkeys with subcortical stroke were able to learn to use an artificial cortico-muscular connection (ACMC), which transforms cortical activity into electrical stimulation to the hand muscles, to regain volitional control of a paralysed hand. The ACMC induced an adaptive change of cortical activities throughout an extensive cortical area. In a targeted manner, modulating high-gamma activity became localized around an arbitrarily-selected cortical site controlling stimulation to the muscles. This adaptive change could be reset and localized rapidly to a new cortical site. Thus, the ACMC imparts new function for muscle control to connected cortical sites and triggers cortical adaptation to regain impaired motor function after stroke. Monkeys were trained to use an artificial cortico-muscular connection (ACMC) to regain control over a paralyzed hand following subcortical stroke. Control over the paralyzed hand was accompanied by the appearance of localized high-gamma modulation in the cortex, which could be rapidly reset and relocalized to a different cortical site to reactivate motor control.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
It has been reported that preoperative fractional flow reserve (FFR) is associated with graft patency after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and the patency is excellent when a bypass graft is anastomosed on a vessel with positive FFR. However, the association with graft patency has not yet been investigated in its novel counterpart, instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR), and iFR sometimes contradicts FFR results.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to assess an impact of preoperative iFR on a graft failure after CABG in patients with coronary arteries showing positive FFR (≤0.80).
Methods
We retrospectively identified patients who had undergone preoperative coronary angiography in conjunction with resting and hyperemic intra-coronary pressure measurements, CABG, and graft evaluation by coronary computed tomography angiography. After excluding vessels with negative FFR (>0.80), vessels were divided into two groups: negative iFR group (iFR >0.89) and positive iFR group (iFR ≤0.89). The rate of graft failure within 1 year after CABG was compared between the two groups.
Results
We analyzed 131 vessels in 89 patients (35 vessels in the negative iFR group and 96 vessels in the positive iFR group). The negative iFR group showed significantly higher iFR (0.92±0.02 vs. 0.74±0.13, P<0.0001) and FFR (0.72±0.06 vs. 0.63±0.09, P<0.0001) than the positive iFR group, although percent diameter stenosis (%DS) was comparable (57±10 vs. 56±9, P=0.47). The graft failure significantly often occurred in the negative iFR group than in the positive iFR group (28.6% vs. 8.3%, P=0.0029). In order to reduce the imbalance in the baseline characteristics except for iFR, 70 vessels were selected by using propensity score matching (n=35 in each group). The propensity score matched vessels also demonstrated significantly higher rate of graft failure in the negative iFR group than in the positive iFR group (28.6% vs. 5.7%, p=0.026) despite much more balanced FFR (0.72±0.06 vs. 0.69±0.07, p=0.02) and %DS (57±10 vs. 57±9, p=1.000).
Conclusions
Even when FFR is positive, the graft failure is likely to occur when a bypass graft is anastomosed on a vessel with negative iFR compared to a vessel with positive iFR.

Abstract
Electrical stimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex using intracranial electrodes is crucial for the evocation of artificial somatosensations, typically tactile sensations associated with specific regions of the body, in brain-machine interface (BMI) applications. The qualitative characteristics of these artificially evoked somatosensations has been well documented. As of yet, however, the quantitative aspects of these evoked somatosensations, that is to say the quantitative relationship between intensity of electrical stimulation and perceived intensity of the resultant somatosensation remains obscure. This study aimed to explore this quantitative relationship by surface electrical stimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex in two human participants undergoing electrocorticographic monitoring prior to surgical treatment of intractable epilepsy. Electrocorticogram electrodes on the primary somatosensory cortical surface were stimulated with varying current intensities, and a visual analogue scale was employed to provide a quantitative measure of intensity of the evoked sensations. Evoked sensations included those of the thumb, tongue, and hand. A clear linear relationship between current intensity and perceived intensity of sensation was observed. These findings provide novel insight into the quantitative nature of primary somatosensory cortex electrical stimulation-evoked sensation for development of somatosensory neuroprosthetics for clinical use.

Abstract
Dacomitinib (PF-00299804, Vizimpro) was developed as a second-generation, oral, irreversible inhibitor of human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)- 1, -2 and -4 tyrosine kinase. On September 27, 2018, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved dacomitinib for the first-line treatment of patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with EGFR exon 19 deletion or exon 21 L858R substitution mutations. On January 8, 2019, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan approved this second-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for the treatment of EGFR mutation-positive inoperable or recurrent NSCLC. The European Commission also approved dacomitinib on April 3, 2019, as monotherapy for the first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC with EGFR activating mutations. Approval of dacomitinib was based on a randomized, multicenter, open-label, active-controlled trial (ARCHER 1050; ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT01774721) which demonstrated the safety and efficacy of dacomitinib compared to gefitinib in 452 patients with unresectable and metastatic NSCLC. Dacomitinib represents a powerful new treatment option compared with first-generation EGFR-TKIs. In this paper, we review the clinical and preclinical studies of dacomitinib and discuss the drug's clinical value.

Abstract
During voluntary movement, the somatosensory system not only passively receives signals from the external world but also actively processes them via interactions with the motor system. However, it is still unclear how and what information the somatosensory system receives during movement. Using simultaneous recordings of activities of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1), the motor cortex (MCx), and an ensemble of afferent neurons in behaving monkeys combined with a decoding algorithm, we reveal the temporal profiles of signal integration in S1. While S1 activity before movement initiation is accounted for by MCx activity alone, activity during movement is accounted for by both MCx and afferent activities. Furthermore, premovement S1 activity encodes information about imminent activity of forelimb muscles slightly after MCx does. Thus, S1 receives information about motor output before the arrival of sensory feedback signals, suggesting that S1 executes online processing of somatosensory signals via interactions with the anticipatory information.

Abstract
With the advent of the Heliophysics/Geospace System Observatory (H/GSO), a complement of multi-spacecraft missions and ground-based observatories to study the space environment, data retrieval, analysis, and visualization of space physics data can be daunting. The Space Physics Environment Data Analysis System (SPEDAS), a grass-roots software development platform (www.spedas.org), is now officially supported by NASA Heliophysics as part of its data environment infrastructure. It serves more than a dozen space missions and ground observatories and can integrate the full complement of past and upcoming space physics missions with minimal resources, following clear, simple, and well-proven guidelines. Free, modular and configurable to the needs of individual missions, it works in both command-line (ideal for experienced users) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode (reducing the learning curve for first-time users). Both options have "crib-sheets," user-command sequences in ASCII format that can facilitate record-and-repeat actions, especially for complex operations and plotting. Crib-sheets enhance scientific interactions, as users can move rapidly and accurately from exchanges of technical information on data processing to efficient discussions regarding data interpretation and science. SPEDAS can readily query and ingest all International Solar Terrestrial Physics (ISTP)-compatible products from the Space Physics Data Facility (SPDF), enabling access to a vast collection of historic and current mission data. The planned incorporation of Heliophysics Application Programmer's Interface (HAPI) standards will facilitate data ingestion from distributed datasets that adhere to these standards. Although SPEDAS is currently Interactive Data Language (IDL)-based (and interfaces to Java-based tools such as Autoplot), efforts are under-way to expand it further to work with python (first as an interface tool and potentially even receiving an under-the-hood replacement). We review the SPEDAS development history, goals, and current implementation. We explain its "modes of use" with examples geared for users and outline its technical implementation and requirements with software developers in mind. We also describe SPEDAS personnel and software management, interfaces with other organizations, resources and support structure available to the community, and future development plans.

The drug gefitinib, a specific inhibitor of EGFR tyrosine kinase, has been shown to suppress the activation of EGFR signaling for survival and cell proliferation in non-small cell lung cancer cell lines. For many years, EGFR endocytosis has served as a model for investigating ligand-induced, receptor-mediated endocytosis. On EGF stimulation, EGFR is internalized and transported via clathrin-coated vesicles to early endosomes, and EGFR then recruits and phosphorylates signaling molecules, leading to the activation of downstream signaling such as MAPK/PI3K/AKT pathways-an important mechanism for regulating cell growth. Once delivered to the lysosomes, EGFR is degraded to terminate intracellular EGFR signaling via endocytosis; this process is known as receptor downregulation. Therefore, the endocytosis of EGFR is closely related with attenuation of intracellular EGFR signaling. Alternatively, EGFR is returned to cell surface from early endosomes for the continued signaling. Previous reports revealed that a competent EGF-induced endocytosis of EGFR followed by its rapid downregulation efficiently proceeds in the gefitinib-sensitive NSCLC cell lines. In contrast, gefitinib-resistant cell lines showed that EGFR endocytosis is impaired and the internalized EGFR is aggregated in the early endosomes, which is associated with the overexpressed sorting nexin 1 (SNX1), initially identified as a protein that interacts with EGFR. Thus dysregulated EGFR endocytosis is implicated in gefitinib resistance, as it leads to uncontrolled signal transduction. At present, the therapeutic relevance of EGFR endocytosis with regard to drug resistance in lung cancer has not been clarified. This review focused on the mechanism for EGFR endocytosis associated with SNX1 trafficking in gefitinib-resistant lung cancer cells.

Abstract
The T2K experiment measures muon neutrino disappearance and electron neutrino appearance in accelerator-produced neutrino and antineutrino beams. With an exposure of 14.7(7.6)×10^{20} protons on target in the neutrino (antineutrino) mode, 89 ν_{e} candidates and seven anti-ν_{e} candidates are observed, while 67.5 and 9.0 are expected for δ_{CP}=0 and normal mass ordering. The obtained 2σ confidence interval for the CP-violating phase, δ_{CP}, does not include the CP-conserving cases (δ_{CP}=0, π). The best-fit values of other parameters are sin^{2}θ_{23}=0.526_{-0.036}^{+0.032} and Δm_{32}^{2}=2.463_{-0.070}^{+0.071}×10^{-3} eV^{2}/c^{4}.

Long-lasting poloidal ULF waves observed by multiple satellites and high-latitude SuperDARN radars. JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH. SPACE PHYSICS 2018; 123:8422-8438.

Abstract
Poloidal ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves between 5-10 mHz were observed by multiple satellites and three high-latitude Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) radars during the recovery phase of a moderate geomagnetic storm on Jan 24-27, 2016. The long-lasting ULF waves were observed in the magnetic field and energetic particle flux perturbations during three successive passes by two Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) through the dayside magnetosphere, during which plasmasphere expansion and refilling were observed by two Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) probes. The radial magnetic field oscillation was in phase (~ 180° out of phase) with the northward (southward) moving proton flux oscillation at 95 keV, consistent with high-energy drift-bounce resonance signatures of protons with second harmonic poloidal standing Alfvén waves. The longitudinal extent of the waves approached 10 hours in local time on the dayside and gradually decreased with time. High-time resolution (~ 6 s) data from three high-latitude SuperDARN radars show that the wave intensification region was localized in latitude with a radial extent of ~ 135-225 km in the subauroral ionosphere. No signature of these waves were observed by ground-based magnetometers colocated with the GOES satellites suggesting that the poloidal waves were high-m mode and thus screened by the ionosphere. During this interval one of the THEMIS probes observed a bump-on-tail ion distribution at 1-3 keV which we suggest is the source of the long-lasting second harmonic poloidal ULF waves.
