Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The toe skin temperature in vascular patients can be low, making reliable toe pressure measurements difficult to obtain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of heating on the toe pressure measurements. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 86 legs were examined. Brachial pressure and toe pressure were measured at rest in a supine position using a laser Doppler device that also measured skin temperature. After heating the toes for 5 min with a heating pad, we re-measured the toe pressure. Furthermore, after heating the skin to 40° with the probe, toe pressures were measured a third time. RESULTS The mean toe skin temperature at the baseline measurement was 24.0 °C (standard deviation: 2.8). After heating the toes for 5 min with a warm heating pad, the skin temperature rose to a mean 27.8 °C (standard deviation: 2.8; p = 0.000). The mean toe pressure rose from 58.5 (standard deviation: 32) to 62 (standard deviation: 32) mmHg (p = 0.029). Furthermore, after the skin was heated up to 40 °C with the probe, the mean toe pressure in the third measurement was 71 (standard deviation: 34) mmHg (p = 0.000). The response to the heating varied greatly between the patients after the first heating-from -34 mmHg (toe pressure decreased from 74 to 40 mmHg) to +91 mmHg. When the toes were heated to 40 °C, the change in to toe pressure from the baseline varied between -28 and +103 mmHg. CONCLUSION Our data indicate that there is a different response to the heating in different clinical situations and in patients with a different comorbidity.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the health-related and subjective quality of life
of community-dwelling elderly females in orthopedic outpatients, and also examined how
such quality of life correlate with their daily life activities and instrumental
activities of daily living. [Subjects and Methods] Subjects were 27 community-dwelling
elderly females in orthopedic outpatients (mean age: 76.3 ± 7.4 years). Their
health-related quality of life and subjective quality of life, life-space assessment,
frenchay activities index were researched. [Results] For the relationships between the
total subjective quality of life scores and health-related quality of life scores,
significant positive correlations were observed for body pain, general health, vitality,
social functions and mental health. The correlations were not statistically significant
between the subjective quality of life scores and the life-space assessment and frenchay
activities index scores. The correlations were statistically significant between some
health-related quality of life scores and the life-space assessment and frenchay
activities index scores. [Conclusion] The results suggest that supporting
community-dwelling elderly females in orthopedic outpatients to improve their sense of
physical and mental well-being, and prevent and reduce their depression and physical pain,
is required in order to improve their QOL.

Abstract
We evaluated the circadian phenotypes of patients with delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSWPD) and non-24-hour sleep-wake rhythm disorder (N24SWD), two different circadian rhythm sleep disorders (CRSDs) by measuring clock gene expression rhythms in fibroblast cells derived from individual patients. Bmal1-luciferase (Bmal1-luc) expression rhythms were measured in the primary fibroblast cells derived from skin biopsy samples of patients with DSWPD and N24SWD, as well as control subjects. The period length of the Bmal1-luc rhythm (in vitro period) was distributed normally and was 22.80±0.47 (mean±s.d.) h in control-derived fibroblasts. The in vitro periods in DSWPD-derived fibroblasts and N24SWD-derived fibroblasts were 22.67±0.67 h and 23.18±0.70 h, respectively. The N24SWD group showed a significantly longer in vitro period than did the control or DSWPD group. Furthermore, in vitro period was associated with response to chronotherapy in the N24SWD group. Longer in vitro periods were observed in the non-responders (mean±s.d.: 23.59±0.89 h) compared with the responders (mean±s.d.: 22.97±0.47 h) in the N24SWD group. Our results indicate that prolonged circadian periods contribute to the onset and poor treatment outcome of N24SWD. In vitro rhythm assays could be useful for predicting circadian phenotypes and clinical prognosis in patients with CRSDs.

Abstract
In order to clarify the association between hyperglycemia during the early period after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) and adverse outcomes, we retrospectively analyzed 563 consecutive patients who underwent allo-SCT at our institute between 2008 and 2015. Patients were categorized into three groups according to mean fasting blood glucose levels on days 0-7 (normoglycemia group<110 mg/dL, n=347; mild hyperglycemia group 110-149 mg/dL, n=192 and moderate/severe hyperglycemia group≥150 mg/dL, n=24). The median follow-up was 2.7 years. Patients in the moderate/severe hyperglycemia group had significantly worse characteristics. The cumulative incidences of 2-year non-relapse mortality (NRM) and the probabilities of 2-year overall survival (OS) in the normoglycemia, mild hyperglycemia and moderate/severe hyperglycemia groups were 7.5%, 19% and 29%, respectively (P<0.01), and 69%, 53% and 33%, respectively (P<0.01). In multivariate analyses, hyperglycemia was an independent predictor of high NRM (vs normoglycemia; mild hyperglycemia, hazard ratio (HR) 2.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.56-4.18; moderate/severe hyperglycemia, HR 4.46, 95% CI 1.92-10.3) and poor OS (vs normoglycemia; mild hyperglycemia, HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.14-2.07; moderate/severe hyperglycemia, HR 1.61, 95% CI 0.89-2.91). In conclusion, hyperglycemia on days 0-7 after allo-SCT was associated with inferior outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: E-cadherin and vimentin are now regarded as major and conventional canonical markers of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). It is commonly assumed E-cadherin is uniformly lost during the process of EMT. We previously reported that the elevated expression of vimentin contributes to the aggressive phenotype in invasive breast cancer. On the other hand, the role of E-cadherin in breast cancer biology might be unclear and more complex. Although, cell cohesion during breast cancer invasion is often overlooked, accumulating evidences indicate breast tumor cells are typically cohesive and often display membrane-localized E-cadherin in both the primary tumor and distant metastases, termed collective invasion. Multiple mechanisms have emerged to address how epithelial breast tumors invade.
Aims: The aim of this study is to reveal the clinical importance of the expression pattern of E-cadherin and vimentin in breast cancer.
Methods: The E-cadherin and vimentin protein expression were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 177 invasive breast cancer samples. Among these, E-cadherin and vimentin expression were evaluated in the set of primary breast cancer and metastatic lymph nodes in 65 cases. In addition, E-cadherin and vimentin expression were analyzed by immunofluorescent staining and evaluated using confocal laser scanning microscopy to see E-cadherin and vimentin localization in the breast cancer cells.
Results: The positive vimentin expression was highly correlated with poor disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) (p=0.019 and p=0.0044), however, the E-cadherin expression alone did not correlate with prognosis. Interestingly, both E-cadherin and vimentin positive tumors had the worst DFS and OS among all breast cancer (p=0.03 and p=0.0089). Vimentin expression was highly correlated between primary tumors and metastatic lymph nodes. However, E-cadherin expression levels were significantly elevated in metastatic lymph nodes (p=0.0017). Co-expression of E-cadherin and vimentin in the metastatic lymph nodes also showed worst DFS and OS (p=0.12 and p=0.027).Immunofluorescent analysis revealed that E-cadherin and vimentin were co-localized within the same tumor cells in many of the E-cadherin high/vimentin positive tumors.
Conclusions: Co-expression of E-cadherin and vimentin seems to be associated with the most aggressive phenotype and poorest prognosis in breast cancer. Moreover, co-localization of E-cadherin and vimentin within the same breast cancer cells suggests the significance of the expressions of both proteins in breast cancer invasion and metastasis.

Abstract
Abstract
Backgrounds; The wild-type p53-induced phosphatase 1(Wip1) is a member of the serine/threonine protein phosphatases, and plays an important role in the nucleus as one of the key components in the DNA damage response network. Wip1 is encoded by the protein phosphatase magnesium dependent 1 delta (PPM1D), sited on locus 17q23. PPM1D gene amplification and/or Wip1 expression have been observed in numerous tumors, including breast cancer. PPM1D is referred to as oncogene, as Wip1 inhibits phosphorylation of p53 and work as a negative regulator in cell death. Inhibition of Wip1 may have an important therapeutic role in suppressing tumor growth and evolution.
Aims; We evaluated the expression of Wip1 mRNA, Wip1 protein and PPM1D DNA copy number to clarify the relationship between Wip1 expression and the clinicopathological features and prognosis to determine the biological significance of Wip1.
Materials and Methods; Breast cancer cell lines (MCF7, T47D, MDA-MB231, HCC1937, HS578T, BT20 and SKBr3) were used for Wip1 expression analysis and copy number analysis. The specimens were obtained from Japanese breast cancer patients who underwent surgery without neoadjuvant chemotherapy or endocrine therapy in our department. Wip1 mRNA expression was evaluated in 140 cases by quantitative RT-PCR and Wip1 protein expression was evaluated in 192 cases by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The PPM1D DNA copy number was analyzed by genomic PCR in 33 breast cancer cases and by SNP-CGH array (Illumina, Human Omni 2.5-8) in 12 cases. The effects on the cell growth of the Wip1 inhibitor (GSK2830371) were analyzed by the viability assay in MCF7.
Results; Wip1 mRNA expression was significantly higher in MCF7, luminal type cell line. There was no significant correlation between Wip1 mRNA expression and prognosis. In IHC, positive nuclear Wip1 protein expression was detected in 21 cases (10.9%). There was no significant correlation between Wip1 mRNA expression and Wip1 protein expression. There was no significant association between the Wip1 protein expression levels and the clinicopathological factors and the prognosis. PPM1D DNA copy number significantly correlated with Wip1 protein expression (p=0.0035). Copy number gain at 17q23 was detected in 6 cases by SNP-CGH array, and all of these six cases showed positive nuclear Wip1 expression. PPM1D copy number gain was not observed in Wip1 negative cases. In the cell viability assay, the MCF7 cell growth was suppressed by Wip1 inhibitor administration.
Conclusions;Wip1 protein expression in nucleus is important as oncogene, and its expression may be regulated by PPM1D copy number gain. Wip1 is considered to be the new therapeutic target for breast cancer patients.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study examined the quality of life of homebound elderly hemiparetic stroke
patients with cognitive impairment and the factors affecting their quality of life.
[Subjects and Methods] The subjects of the study were 17 home-based elderly hemiparetic
stroke patients with cognitive impairment (8 males and 9 females, average age: 76.3 ±
10.5 years old). Their physical and psychological conditions, quality of life and other
items were investigated. Nishimura’s Mental State Scale for the Elderly was used for the
cognitive impairment assessment. The Functional Independence Measure was used to assess
activities of daily living, and the Japanese Quality of Life Inventory for the Elderly
with Dementia was used to assess quality of life. [Results] The subjects’ quality of life
was affected by their cognitive impairment level and independence of activities of daily
living. However, no correlations were observed between the quality of life of the
homebound elderly hemiparetic stroke patients with cognitive impairment, age, gender or
care-need level. [Conclusion] In order to improve the quality of life of homebound elderly
hemiparetic stroke patients with cognitive impairment, assistance helping them to maintain
their cognitive abilities and on-going rehabilitation for improving activities of daily
living independence are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Peripheral artery disease in dialysis cases is more prone to critical limb ischemia compared to non-dialysis cases, with a significantly high rate of major amputation of the lower limbs. Lesions are distributed on the more distal side in dialysis critical limb ischemia cases. The aim of this study was to investigate the usefulness of indocyanine green angiography to determine differences in the regional circulation in the foot between dialysis and non-dialysis patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The subjects included 62 cases, among which 20 were dialysis patients and 42 were non-dialysis patients. We compared the indocyanine green angiography parameters for regions of interest in the dialysis and non-dialysis groups, which included the magnitude of intensity from indocyanine green onset to maximum intensity (Imax), the time from indocyanine green onset to maximum intensity (Tmax), the time elapsed from the fluorescence onset to half the maximum intensity (T1/2), and the time from maximum intensity to declining to 90% of the maximum intensity (Td90%). These indocyanine green angiography parameters were measured at region of interest 1 (the Chopart joint), region of interest 2 (the Lisfranc joint), and region of interest 3 (the distal region of the first metatarsal bone). RESULTS In the comparison between the dialysis and non-dialysis groups, a significant difference was observed regarding Tmax, T1/2, and Td90%, especially in region of interest 3. CONCLUSION In this study, we show that regional tissue perfusion is more deteriorated in dialysis patients compared with non-dialysis patients using indocyanine green angiography. Tmax, T1/2, and Td90% could be useful clinical parameters to compare ischemic severity of the lower limb between dialysis and non-dialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are attracting major interest as potential non-invasive biomarkers for colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to identify a novel serum miRNA biomarker for the early detection and/or evaluating prognosis of CRC patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Comprehensive miRNA array analysis was carried out using serum samples from patients with colorectal neoplasia and healthy controls. Next, to verify whether the candidate miRNA possessed a secretory potential, we screened miRNA expression levels in culture medium from 2 CRC cell lines, followed by serum analysis from 12 stage IV CRC, 12 adenoma, and 12 control subjects. Thereafter, we validated expression of candidate miRNAs in 179 primary CRC tissues, as well as serum samples from an independent cohort of 211 CRCs, 56 adenomas, and 57 control subjects. RESULTS Through microarray analysis, we identified significantly higher levels of miRNA-1290 (miR-1290) in serum from patients with colorectal adenomas and cancers. We verified miR-1290 overexpression in serum of CRC patients in a training cohort. In the validation cohort, serum miR-1290 levels were significantly up-regulated in patients with colorectal adenomas (P < 0.0001) and cancers (P < 0.0001). Serum miR-1290 levels could robustly distinguish adenoma [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.718] and CRC patients (AUC = 0.830) from normal subjects. High miR-1290 expression in serum and tissue was significantly associated with tumor aggressiveness and poor prognosis. Moreover, serum miR-1290 levels were an independent prognostic factor [hazard ratio (HR) = 4.51; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.23-23.69; P = 0.0096] and an independent predictor for tumor recurrence (hazard ratio = 3.92; 95% confidence interval = 1.11-25.14; P = 0.032) in CRC. CONCLUSIONS Serum miR-1290 is a novel biomarker for early detection, recurrence, and prognosis in CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ankle brachial index (ABI), toe pressures (TP), and transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) are traditionally used in the assessment of critical limb ischemia (CLI). Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging can be used to evaluate local circulation in the foot and to evaluate the severity of ischemia. This prospective study analyzed the suitability of a fluorescence imaging system (photodynamic eye [PDE]) in CLI. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-one patients with CLI were included. Of the patients, 66% had diabetes and there was an ischemic tissue lesion in 70% of the limbs. ABI, toe pressures, TcPO2 and ICG-fluorescence imaging (ICG-FI) were measured in each leg. To study the repeatability of the ICG-FI, each patient underwent the study twice. After the procedure, foot circulation was measured using a time-intensity curve, where T1/2 (the time needed to achieve half of the maximum fluorescence intensity) and PDE10 (increase of the intensity during the first 10 s) were determined. A time-intensity curve was plotted using the same areas as for the TcPO2 probes (n=123). RESULTS The mean ABI was 0.43, TP 21 mmHg, TcPO2 23 mmHg, T1/2 38 s, and PDE10 19 AU. Time-intensity curves were repeatable. In a Bland-Altman scatter plot, the 95% limits of agreement of PDE10 was 9.9 AU and the corresponding value of T1/2 was 14 s. Correlation between ABI and TP was significant (R=.73, p<.001), and it was weaker in diabetic patients (R=.47, p=.048) compared with non-diabetic patients (R=.89, p=.002). Correlations between ABI and TcPO2 and TP and TcPO2 were weak (R=.37, p=.05 and R=.43, p=.037, respectively). Correlation between TcPO2 and PDE10 was strong in diabetic patients (R=.70, p=.003). CONCLUSIONS According to this pilot study, ICG-FI with PDE can be used in the assessment of blood supply in the ischemic foot.

Abstract
Objective: To review series of cases in which surgery was used to treat popliteal vein entrapment (PVE). Methods: Between 1984 and 2001, 11 patients (all women; mean age 27.6 years; 14 limbs) underwent surgery for PVE causing calf ache, swelling, and tenderness of the popliteal fossa. Preoperative evidence of PVE included positive results on a passive dorsi-flexion test, compression of the popliteal vein on ascending venography, hypertrophied or aberrant muscle in the popliteal fossa on CT scanning and elevated below-knee venous pressure. The medial or third head of the gastrocnemius muscle was partly or totally resected under the guidance of intraoperative venous pressure measurement and venography. Results: No operative complications occurred. During 3-10 years of follow-up, 57% of limbs were symptom-free, 21% were improved and 21% were unchanged. Conclusion: Treatment of PVE by resection of muscle fibres under the guidance of objective intraoperative assessments was effective in most patients.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetic exposures to fexofenadine (FEX) are reduced by apple juice (AJ); however, the relationship between the AJ volume and the degree of AJ‐FEX interaction has not been understood. In this crossover study, 10 healthy subjects received single doses of FEX 60 mg with different volumes (150, 300, and 600 mL) of AJ or water (control). To identify an AJ volume lacking clinically meaningful interaction, we tested a hypothesis that the 90% confidence interval (CI) for geometric mean ratio (GMR) of FEX AUCAJ/AUCwater is contained within a biocomparability bound of 0.5–2.0, with at least one tested volume of AJ. GMR (90% CI) of AUCAJ 150mL/AUCwater, AUCAJ 300mL/AUCwater, and AUCAJ 600mL/AUCwater were 0.903 (0.752–1.085), 0.593 (0.494–0.712), and 0.385 (0.321–0.462), respectively. While a moderate to large AJ‐FEX interaction is caused by a larger volumes of AJ (e.g., 300 to 600 mL), the effect of a small volume (e.g., 150 mL) appears to be not meaningful.

Abstract
Introduction: Lamotrigine is one of several mood stabilizers and its effects for the treatment and prevention of depressive episodes, particularly in bipolar disorder, are generally accepted. Although the findings about a therapeutic window of lamotrigine are yet to be determined, it seems important to obtain information on individual pharmacokinetic peculiarities. This study was conducted to formulate the predictive model of plasma lamotrigine levels. Methods: Using the data of 47 patients whose lamotrigine levels, liver function, and renal function were measured, predictive models of lamotrigine levels were formulated by stepwise multiple regression analyses. The predictive power of the models was compared using another dataset of 25 patients. Results: Two models were created using stepwise multiple regression. The first model was: plasma lamotrigine level (μg/mL)=2.308+0.019×lamotrigine dose (mg/day). The second model was: plasma lamotrigine level (μg/mL)=0.08+0.024×lamotrigine dose (mg/day)+4.088×valproate combination (no=0, yes=1). The predictive power of the second model was better than that of the first model. Discussion: The present study proposes a prompt and relatively accurate equation to predict lamotrigine levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome is a potential complication of superficial temporal artery-MCA anastomosis for Moyamoya disease. In this study, we evaluated whether TOF-MRA could assess cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome after superficial temporal artery-MCA anastomosis for this disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included patients with Moyamoya disease who underwent superficial temporal artery-MCA single anastomosis. TOF-MRA and SPECT were performed before and 1-6 days after anastomosis. Bilateral ROIs on the source image of TOF-MRA were manually placed directly on the parietal branch of the superficial temporal artery just after branching the frontal branch of the superficial temporal artery and on the contralateral superficial temporal artery on the same axial image, respectively. The change ratio of the maximum signal intensity of the superficial temporal artery on TOF-MRA was calculated by using the following formula: (Postoperative Ipsilateral/Postoperative Contralateral)/(Preoperative Ipsilateral/Preoperative Contralateral). RESULTS Of 23 patients (26 sides) who underwent the operation, 5 sides showed cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome postoperatively. There was a significant difference in the change ratio of signal intensity on TOF-MRA observed between the cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome and non-cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome groups (cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome group: 1.88 ± 0.32; non-cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome group: 1.03 ± 0.20; P = .0009). The minimum ratio value for the cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome group was 1.63, and the maximum ratio value for the non-cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome group was 1.30. Thus, no overlap was observed between the 2 groups for the change ratio of signal intensity on TOF-MRA. CONCLUSIONS Diagnosis of cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome is indicated by an increase in the change ratio of signal intensity on TOF-MRA by more than approximately 1.5 times the preoperative levels.

Abstract
Abstract
Background.
The estrogen receptor (ER)/ GATA3/ Forkhead box A1 (FOXA1) network is necessary for the ERα functional signature specific to luminal type breast cancers. High expression of FOXA1 indicates a good prognosis in ER-positive breast cancer. However, little is known about the association between the expression of FOXA1 and GATA3, and the efficacy of neoadjuvant endocrine therapy (NAE). This study investigated their predictive potential for NAE and the changes of their expression after NAE.
Methods.
The expression of ER, progesterone receptor (PgR), Ki67, FOXA1, and GATA3 were analyzed by immunohistochemistry in 66 patients with hormone receptor-positive/ human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer who had been treated with NAE between March 2003 and December 2012 at Kyushu University Hospital, National Kyushu Cancer Center, and Sagara Hospital. The association between the expression of biological marker and the efficacy of NAE, and their expression changes after NAE were evaluated.
Results.
The median age of the patients was 60 years (range, 30–84 years). Pre- and post-menopausal patients were 24 (36.4%) and 42 (63.6%). Endocrine agents that were administered are as follows: aromatase inhibitors (AIs) for 42 patients (63.6%), luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist plus AI for 10 patients (15.2%), LHRH agonist plus tamoxifen for 13 patients (19.7%). NAE yielded a partial response (PR) in 21 patients (31.8%) and stable disease (SD) in 45 patients (68.2%). Breast conserving surgery was performed in 56 patients (84.8%) and mastectomy was performed in 10 patients (15.2%). Preoperative Endocrine Prognostic Index (PEPI) score was 0 in 10 patients (15.2%) and 1 or greater (score 1 ≤) in 56 patients (84.8%).
Pre-treatment FOXA1 expression was positively correlated with GATA3 (P = 0.0003) and PgR (P = 0.0138). Post-treatment Ki67 expression was significantly lower in tumors, which achieved PR compared with those with SD (P = 0.0007). The expression of PgR, Ki67, and FOXA1 was significantly lower in post-treatment tumors compared with those in pre-treatment samples (p < 0.0001, p < 0.0001 and p < 0.0001, respectively). The expression of PgR, Ki67, and FOXA1 was significantly reduced in both tumors with PR and those with SD (PR: P = 0.0004, P < 0.0001, and P = 0.0417, respectively; SD: P < 0.0001, P = 0.0001, and P < 0.0001, respectively). The expression of PgR, Ki67, and FOXA1 was significantly decreased in post-treatment tumors in both patients with the PEPI score 0 and those with score 1 ≤ (score 0: P = 0.0078, P = 0.0059, and P = 0.0098, respectively; score 1 ≤: P < 0.0001, P < 0.0001, and P = 0.0002, respectively). In tumors with PgR > 20%, the expression of Ki67 and FOXA1 were significantly lower in post-treatment tumors (P < 0.0001 and P < 0.0001, respectively).
Conclusions.
FOXA1 expression correlated with PgR expression, and was reduced significantly after NAE. These results suggest that blocking the effect of estrogen might reduce FOXA1 expression.

Abstract
[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the quality of life (QOL) of community-dwelling
elderly women with musculoskeletal disorders and factors that affect it. [Subjects] The
subjects were 27 community-dwelling elderly women with musculoskeletal disorders (mean
age: 76.3 ± 7.4 years). Their physical and psychological conditions, QOL, and other
characteristics were researched. [Methods] The Japanese version of Life-Space Assessment
was used to assess the subjects’ daily life activities; the Japanese version of Fall
Efficacy Scale (FES), to assess their fear of falling; the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS
15), to assess their depression status; and the Life Satisfaction Index K (LSIK), to
assess their QOL. [Results] The results indicated that the number of family members living
together, degree of pain, fear of falling, and depression affect the LSIK scores of the
community-dwelling elderly women with musculoskeletal disorders. [Conclusion] The study
results suggest that the LSIK scores of community-dwelling elderly women with
musculoskeletal disorders can be improved by easing their pain, improving their physical
abilities to prevent falls, and improving their mobility. The results also suggest that
continuing rehabilitation treatment is required.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (allo-HSCT) is a curative treatment for aggressive adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). Considering the dismal prognosis associated with conventional chemotherapies, early application of allo-HSCT might be beneficial for patients with ATLL. However, no previous study has addressed the optimal timing of allo-HSCT from related donors. Hence, to evaluate the impact of timing of allo-HSCT for patients with ATLL, we retrospectively analyzed data from patients with ATLL who received an allo-HSCT from a related donor. The median age was 52 years. Patients were grouped according to the interval from diagnosis to allo-HSCT: early transplant group, <100 days, n=72; late transplant group, ⩾100 days, n=428. The corresponding constituents of disease status were not statistically different between the two groups (P=0.11). The probability of OS in the early transplant group was significantly higher than that in the late transplant group (4-year OS, 49.3% vs 31.2%). Multivariate analysis revealed that late allo-HSCT was an unfavorable prognostic factor for OS (hazard ratio, 1.46; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-2.11; P=0.04). Despite the limitations of a retrospective study, it might be acceptable to consider early application of allo-HSCT for ATLL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Because the diagnostic significance of cortical superficial siderosis for Alzheimer disease and the association between cortical superficial siderosis and the topographic distribution of cerebral microbleeds have been unclear, we investigated the association between cortical superficial siderosis and clinicoradiologic characteristics of patients with cognitive impairment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 347 patients (217 women, 130 men; mean age, 74 ± 9 years) who visited our memory clinic and underwent MR imaging (3T SWI). We analyzed the association between cortical superficial siderosis and the topographic distribution of cerebral microbleeds plus clinical characteristics including types of dementia. We used multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine the diagnostic significance of cortical superficial siderosis for Alzheimer disease. RESULTS Twelve patients (3.5%) manifested cortical superficial siderosis. They were older (P = .026) and had strictly lobar cerebral microbleeds significantly more often than did patients without cortical superficial siderosis (50.0% versus 19.4%, P = .02); the occurrence of strictly deep and mixed cerebral microbleeds, however, did not differ in the 2 groups. Alzheimer disease was diagnosed in 162 (46.7%) patients. Of these, 8 patients (4.9%) had cortical superficial siderosis. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis for the diagnosis of Alzheimer disease, lacunar infarcts were negatively and independently associated with Alzheimer disease (P = .007). CONCLUSIONS Although cortical superficial siderosis was associated with a strictly lobar cerebral microbleed location, it was not independently associated with Alzheimer disease in a memory clinic setting. Additional studies are required to investigate the temporal changes of these cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related MR imaging findings.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of elliptic (v(2)) and triangular (v(3)) flow in high-multiplicity (3)He+Au collisions at √(s(NN))=200 GeV. Two-particle correlations, where the particles have a large separation in pseudorapidity, are compared in (3)He+Au and in p+p collisions and indicate that collective effects dominate the second and third Fourier components for the correlations observed in the (3)He+Au system. The collective behavior is quantified in terms of elliptic v(2) and triangular v(3) anisotropy coefficients measured with respect to their corresponding event planes. The v(2) values are comparable to those previously measured in d+Au collisions at the same nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy. Comparisons with various theoretical predictions are made, including to models where the hot spots created by the impact of the three (3)He nucleons on the Au nucleus expand hydrodynamically to generate the triangular flow. The agreement of these models with data may indicate the formation of low-viscosity quark-gluon plasma even in these small collision systems.

Abstract
Nasal growth after cleft lip surgery with or without primary nasal repair was evaluated using lateral cephalograms. In 14 patients who underwent simultaneous nasal repair with primary cleft lip repair and 12 patients without simultaneous nasal repair, lateral cephalograms were obtained at 5 and 10 years of age. Lateral cephalograms of normal Japanese children were used as a control. At 5 years of age, there were significant differences in the nasal height and columellar angle among the three groups. Children without simultaneous nasal repair had shorter noses with more upward tilt of the columella compared with the controls, while children with simultaneous nasal repair had much shorter noses and more upward tilt than those without repair. At 10 years of age, the children without simultaneous nasal repair showed no differences from the control group, while those with simultaneous repair still had shorter noses and more upward tilt of the columella. These findings suggest that performing nasal repair at the same time as primary cleft lip surgery has an adverse influence on the subsequent growth of the nose.

Abstract
The formation process of Pt decorated Ni-Pt nanocubes was investigated by analysing the elemental distribution of Ni and Pt in the particles obtained from time-resolved in situ sampling during the synthesis in the oleylamine-1-heptanol system. The analysis confirmed the formation of Pt(core)-Ni(shell) nanoparticles at the initial stages of the reaction. However, as the reaction time progressed, the Pt atoms at the centre diffused outward and reached the corners and edges of the particle, whose shape changed from nearly spherical at the initial stages of the reaction to a perfect cube at the end of the reaction, forming a Ni rich cube (core)-Pt(cage). The cage obtained by dissolving the Ni rich cube was composed mainly of Pt and the Ni content in the frame was a mere 12%. The catalytic activity of the Pt cage was measured using cyclic voltammetry. The initial measurements suggested that the activity was comparable to some of the commercially available Pt catalysts.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of thigh compression, which accelerates activation of central command and muscle metabo- and mechanoreceptors, on the adaptation of sweating and cutaneous vascular responses during exercise heat acclimation. Nine non-heat-acclimated male subjects were acclimated to heat (32 °C and 50% RH) while cycling [50% of maximum oxygen uptake ( V ˙ O 2 m a x )] 60 min/day for 7 days (control group). The experimental group (n = 9) conducted the same training while the proximal thighs were compressed by a cuff at 60 mmHg. V ˙ O 2 m a x , acetylcholine-induced forearm sweating rate (iontophoresis), and mean sweating and cutaneous vascular responses on the forehead, chest, and forearm (SRmean and CVCmean ) during passive heating were evaluated before and after training. Training significantly increased V ˙ O 2 m a x while did not affect acetylcholine-induced sweating rates in either group. Training significantly decreased Tb thresholds for SRmean and CVCmean during passive heating without the alternations of sensitivities in both groups. Although SRmean during passive heating at a given ΔTb was not improved in either group, CVCmean was significantly (P < 0.05) attenuated after exercise training only in experimental group. Our results indicate that thigh cuff compression during exercise heat acclimation does not influence adaptation of the sweating response but attenuate cutaneous vasodilation.
