Preemptive Living Donor Kidney Transplantation and Kidney Function at the Initial Hospital Visit: A Single-Center Case-Control Study. Transplant Proc 2016; 48:827-30.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have revealed that patients who undergo preemptive kidney transplantation (PKT) have favorable prognoses compared with those who undergo kidney transplantation after the initiation of dialysis. The number of PKT cases performed worldwide has been increasing. The goal of this study was to determine the clinical characteristics of patients who may successfully receive PKT. METHODS A single-center, case-control study was conducted to determine the clinical factors that lead to referral for PKT. RESULTS Between April 1, 2009, and August 1, 2015, a total of 118 patients underwent living donor kidney transplantation. Thirty of these patients had not undergone dialysis before their initial visit to the study hospital. Of these, 20 received kidney transplantation before and after dialysis initiation, respectively (group PKT+, successful PKT; group PKT-, failed PKT). The baseline characteristics at the primary visit were compared between groups. The median duration from the first visit to the study institution to PKT was 5.6 ± 0.7 months. Serum creatinine (Cr) levels differed significantly between groups (PKT+ vs PKT-, 6.0 ± 0.3 mg/dL vs 7.5 ± 0.5 mg/dL; P = .03). The receiver-operating characteristic curves revealed that a serum Cr level >5.7 mg/dL at the initial visit to the unit was a cutoff point for predicting the success of PKT (area under the curve, 0.721; P = .02). CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that PKT should be performed within ∼6 months of the initial visit to the transplant center. Serum Cr levels <5.7 mg/dL predict successful PKT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate evaluation of thrombogenicity helps to prevent thrombosis and excessive bleeding. The total thrombus-formation analysis system (T-TAS) was developed for quantitative analysis of platelet thrombus formation by the use of microchips with thrombogenic surfaces (collagen, platelet chip [PL-chip]; collagen plus tissue factor, atherome chip [AR-chip]). We examined the utility of the T-TAS in the assessment of the efficacy of antiplatelet therapy in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS In this cross-sectional study, 372 consecutive patients admitted to the cardiovascular department were divided into three groups: patients not receiving any antiplatelet therapy (control, n = 56), patients receiving aspirin only (n = 69), and patients receiving aspirin and clopidogrel (n = 149). Blood samples were used for the T-TAS to measure the platelet thrombus-formation area under the curve (AUC) at various shear rates (1500 s(-1) [PL18 -AUC10 ] and 2000 s(-1) [PL24 -AUC10 ] for the PL-chip; 300 s(-1) [AR10 -AUC30 ] for the AR-chip). The on-clopidogrel platelet aggregation was measured by the use of P2Y12 reaction units (PRUs) with the VerifyNow system. The mean PL24 -AUC10 levels were 358 ± 111 (± standard deviation) (95% confidence interval [CI] 328.9-387.1) in the control group, 256 ± 108 (95% CI 230.5-281.5) in the aspirin group, and 113 ± 91 (95% CI 98.4-127.6) in the aspirin/clopidogrel group. In the aspirin/clopidogrel group, the PL24 -AUC10 was higher in poor metabolizers (PMs) with cytochrome P450 2C19(CYP2C19) polymorphisms (152 ± 112, 95% CI 103.4-200.6) than in the non-PM group (87 ± 74, 95% CI 73.8-100.2). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the PL24 -AUC10 level measured by the T-TAS is a potentially suitable index for the assessment of antiplatelet therapy in CAD patients.

Abstract
This study demonstrates the feasibility of high-gamma activity mapping for localization of somatosensory finger areas in the human brain. Identification of functional brain regions is important in surgical planning, such as for resections of epileptic foci or brain tumors. The mapping procedure is done using electrocorticography (ECoG), an invasive technique in which electrical brain signals are acquired from the cortical surface. Two epilepsy patients with implanted electrode grids participated in the study. Data were collected during a vibrotactile finger stimulation paradigm and showed significant cortical activation (p <; 0.001) in the high-gamma range over the contralateral somatosensory cortex. The results are consistent with previous studies that used fMRI in test subjects without implanted electrodes. Therefore, the results suggest that localizing the cortical representations of the fingers in clinical practice using ECoG is feasible, even without the patient's active participation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the clinical effectiveness of a community milk fluoridation programme. BASIC RESEARCH DESIGN Parallel arm 5-year cohort study, with final cross-sectional comparisons between groups. PARTICIPANTS 3-year-olds in 8 Bulgarian cities/towns entered the cohort study with random samples (n = 1,782) recruited at baseline in 2004. After 5 years in 2009 sub-samples (about 30%) of these now aged 8 were randomly selected in intervention sites for follow-up examination (n = 454); 276 controls were examined at the age 8 years. For cross-sectional comparisons, in 2004, 284 3-year-olds from control cities were baseline examined for caries, then 276 children at the age 8 years in 2009. INTERVENTIONS In six intervention communities: 1,498 examined children received 0.5 mg F in 100 or 200 ml school milk or yogurt provided each school day; a further 180 received non-fluoridated milk. In two control communities, fluoride was not added to 284 children's school milk. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Dental caries experience of primary, and permanent teeth. RESULTS For primary teeth, caries increments were 46% (p < 0.001) and 30% (p < 0.01) lower in the fluoridated milk groups compared with non-fluoridated milk groups in the intervention and control communities, respectively. For permanent teeth those reductions were 61% and 53% (p < 0.001). The cross-sectional comparisons of 8-year-olds showed significant changes in dental caries experience over time; in children consuming fluoridated milk the level of dmfs fell by 43% (2004 and 2009) against 11% in the control group. Among children consuming fluoridated milk the DMFS fell 68% against rising 3% in the controls. CONCLUSIONS Fluoridated milk delivered daily in schools in Bulgaria resulted in substantially lower caries development compared with children in schools receiving milk without added fluoride. The nation-wide experiences from milk fluoridation indicate that such a public health scheme can be effective to the global fight against dental caries of children.

Abstract
Decoding brain activity of corresponding highlevel tasks may lead to an independent and intuitively controlled Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). Most of today's BCI research focuses on analyzing the electroencephalogram (EEG) which provides only limited spatial and temporal resolution. Derived electrocorticographic (ECoG) signals allow the investigation of spatially highly focused task-related activation within the high-gamma frequency band, making the discrimination of individual finger movements or complex grasping tasks possible. Common spatial patterns (CSP) are commonly used for BCI systems and provide a powerful tool for feature optimization and dimensionality reduction. This work focused on the discrimination of (i) three complex hand movements, as well as (ii) hand movement and idle state. Two subjects S1 and S2 performed single `open', `peace' and `fist' hand poses in multiple trials. Signals in the high-gamma frequency range between 100 and 500 Hz were spatially filtered based on a CSP algorithm for (i) and (ii). Additionally, a manual feature selection approach was tested for (i). A multi-class linear discriminant analysis (LDA) showed for (i) an error rate of 13.89 % / 7.22 % and 18.42 % / 1.17 % for S1 and S2 using manually / CSP selected features, where for (ii) a two class LDA lead to a classification error of 13.39 % and 2.33 % for S1 and S2, respectively.

Abstract
For neurosurgery with an awake craniotomy, the critical issue is to set aside enough time to identify eloquent cortices by electrocortical stimulation (ECS). High gamma activity (HGA) ranging between 80 and 120 Hz on electrocorticogram (ECoG) is assumed to reflect localized cortical processing. In this report, we used realtime HGA mapping and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) for rapid and reliable identification of motor and language functions. Three patients with intra-axial tumors in their dominant hemisphere underwent preoperative fMRI and lesion resection with an awake craniotomy. All patients showed significant fMRI activation evoked by motor and language tasks. After the craniotomy, we recorded ECoG activity by placing subdural grids directly on the exposed brain surface. Each patient performed motor and language tasks and demonstrated realtime HGA dynamics in hand motor areas and parts of the inferior frontal gyrus. Sensitivity and specificity of HGA mapping were 100% compared to ECS mapping in the frontal lobe, which suggested HGA mapping precisely indicated eloquent cortices. The investigation times of HGA mapping was significantly shorter than that of ECS mapping. Specificities of the motor and language-fMRI, however, did not reach 85%. The results of HGA mapping was mostly consistent with those of ECS mapping, although fMRI tended to overestimate functional areas. This novel technique enables rapid and accurate functional mapping.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship of dental status to food diversity among older Japanese. DESIGN AND SETTING A community-based cross-sectional study conducted in the town of Tosa, Kochi Prefecture, Japan. METHODS The study participants were 252 Japanese (84 men and 168 women, average age 81.2 years) and dentate participants were classified into three groups: 1-9 teeth, 10-19 teeth and 20 or more teeth. Food diversity was assessed as a validated measure of dietary quality using the 11-item Food Diversity Score Kyoto (FDSK-11), which evaluates frequency of consumption of 11 main food groups. Multivariable analysis of the differences in FDSK-11 score ranging from 0 to 11, with a higher score indicating greater food diversity, among the three dental status groups was conducted using general linear models. All the performed analyses were stratified by gender. RESULTS There was no association between dental status and food diversity score in models for men. In contrast, women with ≤ 9 teeth and with 10-19 teeth had significantly lower FDSK-11 scores than women with ≥ 20 teeth after adjusting for confounders (p < 0.001 and p = 0.009, respectively). Additionally, there was a trend toward lower scores for FDSK-11 with fewer teeth (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION A less varied diet, as indicated by low FDSK-11 score, was observed in female participants with fewer teeth. Tooth loss was associated with poor diet quality among older Japanese women.

Abstract
The dorsal resting hair of C3H mice at various ages was shaved, thus activating the hair into the anagen stage. New hair growth after shaving was not uniform in the various age groups. Furthermore, an increasing delay in hair regrowth was observed as the mice became older (20, 66, 188, and 312 days). In the biochemical analysis of hair regrowing and nongrowing skins after shaving, activities of ornithine decarboxylase, transglutaminase, and alkaline phosphatase had higher values in the extract of the hair regrowing area compared with that in the nongrowing area. In studying the effects of various physical and chemical treatments on hair growth after shaving, repeated shaving was in itself clearly shown to stimulate hair growth. Amongst all of the treatments that were applied, topical application of TPA was most able to accelerate hair regrowth, followed by UV irradiation and retinoic acid treatment. Suppression of hair regrowth was observed in PUVA, DHT, and estradiol; and complete inhibition was seen in the animals treated with betamethasone valerate. In biochemical studies, a relatively good correlation was observed between the rate of hair regrowth and skin ODC activities after treatment.

Abstract
The membranous fraction isolated from stratum corneum by 8M urea-beta ME containing alkaline buffer (pH 9.0) is quite crude when observed by electron microscopy. However, this procedure may be useful for clinical samples, as one can isolate and compare both the soluble (interfilamentous) fraction and the keratin filament from the same sample in addition to the residues (membranous fraction). A further purified membranous fraction was isolated by a new method. Human stratum corneum was chopped and treated with 8M urea-50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 9.0), digested by the use of trypsin, and the product fractionated by a sucrose density gradient to obtain separate single cells without the cytoplasm. One sample was then treated with trypsin for 1 hour and another with urea buffer for 24 hours. Observations revealed a thickened inner membrane (marginal band) of approximately 150A. Each of the membranous samples contained a level of half-cystine markedly higher in amount (around 100/1,000) and involved mostly in the epsilon-(gamma-glutamyl) lysine cross-linkages (around 30%). In order to compare the membranous fraction of horny and living cells (marginal bands and plasma membranes), the fraction was then isolated from living cells. The relative amino acid composition of the membranous fraction of the plasma membrane resembled that of human erythrocytes, but was quite different from that of the marginal band. These comparative studies of biochemical and morphological features suggested the importance of S-S cross-linking enzymes and transglutaminase in the transformation mechanism of the marginal band.

Abstract
Fibrous proteins of human stratum corneum were isolated with urea-Tris buffer (pH 9.0) with and without 2-mercaptoethanol (2ME). Comparative studies were made of the biochemical and morphological properties of purified samples obtained with and without 2ME. The final yield of fibrous protein extracted with 2ME was 17 times higher than the yield extracted without 2ME. Identical results were found for the 2 samples by electron microscopic observation, SDS gel electrophoresis with urea and 2ME, and amino acid analysis. However, high molecular weight staining patterns appeared on the SDS gel when the fibrous protein extracted without 2ME was treated with sample buffer containing 4 M urea but no 2ME. These staining patterns were indicative of cross-linking with disulphide bonds. Extraction of the structural proteins with or without 2ME produced the same amount of polymerized fibrous protein. These results suggested that the structural polypeptides of fibrous protein were constructed through ionic forces rather than disulphide bonds. Electron microscopic observation also did not show any differences in the fibrous structures constructed with or without 2ME. The structural polypeptide molecules, than, may be stabilized by partial cross-linking with disulphide bonds. It is possible that the addition of 2ME cleaves disulphide bonds in cell membrane structures and releases fibrous components more effectively than the addition of agents which physically disrupt membrane structures. Consequently, the increase of yield of fibrous protein by the addition of 2ME might be mainly due to cleaving of the membrane structures and partially due to cleaving interpolypeptide disulphide bonds.

Abstract
It remains poorly understood how symptoms in allergic rhinitis are most severe during overnight or early in the morning. The circadian clock consisting of a network of several ‘clock genes’ including Clock drives daily rhythms in physiology. This study showed that allergen-induced surface CD203c expression on basophils in seasonal allergic rhinitis caused by Japanese cedar pollen exhibited a time-of-day-dependent variation associated with temporal variations in canonical circadian clock gene expression. We also found that bone-marrow-derived basophils (BM basophils) generated from wild-type mice exhibited a time-of-day-dependent variation in IgE-mediated IL-4 and histamine production, which was not observed in BM basophils generated from Clock-mutated mice. Therefore, allergen-specific basophil reactivity shows daily variations depending on the circadian clock activity in basophils, which could partly explain temporal symptomatic variations in allergic rhinitis. Additionally, circadian variations in CD203c expression should be considered for interpretation of this biomarker in clinical research.

Abstract
A pulsed slow-positron beam generated by an electron linear accelerator was directly used for positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy without any positron storage devices. A waveform digitizer was introduced to simultaneously capture multiple gamma-ray signals originating from positron annihilation events during a single accelerator pulse. The positron pulse was chopped and bunched with the chopper signals also sent to the waveform digitizer. Time differences between the annihilation gamma-ray and chopper peaks were calculated and accumulated as lifetime spectra in a computer. The developed technique indicated that positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy can be performed in a 20 μs time window at a pulse repetition rate synchronous with the linear accelerator. Lifetime spectra of a Kapton sheet and a thermally grown SiO2 layer on Si were successfully measured. Synchronization of positron lifetime measurements with pulsed ion irradiation was demonstrated by this technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have evaluated the effects of rabeprazole on low-dose aspirin (LDA)-induced gastroduodenal injuries. AIM To conduct a randomised, double-blind, triple-dummy, active-controlled, multicentre trial, named the PLANETARIUM study, to assess the efficacy, dose-response relationship and safety of rabeprazole for peptic ulcer recurrence in Japanese patients on long-term LDA therapy. METHODS Eligible patients had a history of endoscopically confirmed peptic ulcers and were receiving long-term LDA (81 or 100 mg/day) therapy for cardiovascular or cerebrovascular protection. Subjects were randomly segregated into three groups receiving rabeprazole 10 mg once daily (standard dose in Japan), rabeprazole 5 mg once daily, or teprenone (geranylgeranylacetone; mucosal protective agent commercially available in Japan) 50 mg three times per day as an active control. The primary endpoint was recurrence of peptic ulcers over 24 weeks. RESULTS Among 472 randomised subjects, 452 subjects (n = 151, 150, 151, respectively) constituted the full analysis set. The cumulative recurrence rates of peptic ulcers over 24 weeks in the 10- and 5-mg rabeprazole groups were 1.4% and 2.8%, respectively, both of which were significantly lower than that in the teprenone group (21.7%). The cumulative occurrence rate of bleeding ulcers over 24 weeks in the teprenone group was 4.6%, while bleeding ulcers were not observed in the 10- or 5-mg rabeprazole groups. Rabeprazole was well tolerated at both doses. CONCLUSION Rabeprazole prevents the recurrence of peptic ulcers with no evidence of a major dose-response effect in subjects on low-dose aspirin therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND S100A7/psoriasin is a member of the S100 protein family and is encoded in the epidermal differentiation complex, which contains genes for markers of epidermal differentiation. S100A7/psoriasin is overexpressed in hyperproliferative skin diseases, where it is believed not only to exhibit antimicrobial functions, but also to induce immunomodulatory activities, including chemotaxis and cytokine/chemokine production. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of S100A7/psoriasin on keratinocyte differentiation and regulation of the tight junction (TJ) barrier. METHODS Expression of differentiation markers and TJ proteins in human keratinocytes was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. The changes in TJ barrier function were assessed by transepithelial electrical resistance and paracellular permeability assays. Glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation was analysed by Western blot, whereas β-catenin and E-cadherin activation was evaluated by Western blot and immunofluorescence. RESULTS S100A7/psoriasin enhanced the expression of several differentiation markers and selectively increased the expression of TJ proteins (e.g. claudins and occludin), which are known to strengthen the TJ barrier. Furthermore, S100A7/psoriasin increased β-catenin and E-cadherin accumulation at cell-cell contact, and enhanced transepithelial electrical resistance while reducing the paracellular permeability of keratinocyte layers. The data suggest that S100A7/psoriasin-mediated regulation of the TJ barrier was via both the GSK-3 and MAPK pathways, as evidenced by the inhibitory effects of inhibitors for GSK-3 and MAPKs. CONCLUSIONS Our finding that S100A7/psoriasin regulates differentiation and strengthens TJ barrier function provides novel evidence that, in addition to antimicrobial and immunoregulatory activities, S100A7/psoriasin is involved in skin innate immunity.

Abstract
Bosonic superweakly interacting massive particles (super-WIMPs) are a candidate for warm dark matter. With the absorption of such a boson by a xenon atom, these dark matter candidates would deposit an energy equivalent to their rest mass in the detector. This is the first direct detection experiment exploring the vector super-WIMPs in the mass range between 40 and 120 keV. With the use of 165.9 day of data, no significant excess above background was observed in the fiducial mass of 41 kg. The present limit for the vector super-WIMPs excludes the possibility that such particles constitute all of dark matter. The absence of a signal also provides the most stringent direct constraint on the coupling constant of pseudoscalar super-WIMPs to electrons. The unprecedented sensitivity was achieved exploiting the low background at a level 10(-4) kg-1 keVee-1 day-1 in the detector.

Abstract
A transglycosylation reaction with moranoline (1-deoxynojirimycin) was done with soluble starch as the glucosyl donor and Bacillus macerans amylase as a cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase [EC 2.4.1.19]. The resultant transglycosylation products with moranoline, obtained by treating the reaction mixture with a strong cation exchange resin, were hydrolyzed by beta-amylase [EC 3.2.1.2] from sweet potatoes. The hydrolysate was treated with a strong cation exchange resin, and high purity maltose was obtained.

Abstract
Autoantibodies to proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) are specifically, if rarely, present in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patient sera. Even SLE patients lacking PCNA reactivity often show reaction to PCNA-binding protein. Here, immunoreactivity to chromatin assembly factor-1 (CAF-1), an essential molecule for DNA replication and a PCNA-binding protein, was compared for the sera of SLE patients, normal healthy controls (NHCs) and other disease controls, and in autoimmune sera reactive to standard autoantigens, by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), indirect immunofluorescence, and immunoblotting. CAF1 and IRF1 expression in SLE and NHC peripheral mononuclear cells were compared by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Serum interferon-γ-inducing protein-10 and anti-double-stranded (ds)DNA antibody levels were measured by ELISA. Increased CAF-1 autoimmune reactivity was recognized in SLE or serum anti-dsDNA antibody-positive patients. Significantly greater central nervous system (CNS) involvement (aseptic meningitis) and serum anti-dsDNA antibody titers were present more often in anti-CAF-1 antibody-positive than antibody-negative SLE patients. IFN-γ positively regulated CAF-1 expression in vitro and was associated with anti-CAF-1 antibody production in SLE. Thus, a novel anti-CAF-1 autoantibody is frequently found in patients with SLE and is a useful biomarker for diagnosis, especially in cases with CNS involvement. Aberrant IFN-γ regulation appears to play an important role in anti-CAF-1 antibody production in SLE.

Abstract
A search for the dinucleon decay pp → K+ K+ has been performed using 91.6 kton·yr data from Super-Kamiokande-I. This decay provides a sensitive probe of the R-parity-violating parameter λ112''. A boosted decision tree analysis found no signal candidates in the data. The expected background was 0.28±0.19 atmospheric neutrino induced events and the estimated signal detection efficiency was 12.6%±3.2%. A lower limit of 1.7×10(32) years has been placed on the partial lifetime of the decay O16 → C14K+ K+ at 90% C.L. A corresponding upper limit of 7.8×10(-9) has been placed on the parameter λ112''.

Neuroscience 2014; 268:149-58.

Abstract
We used FM imaging to identify neurons that receive sensory feedback from the body wall in a circuit for octopamine (OA)-evoked rhythmic locomotion in the earthworm, Eisenia fetida. We visualized synapses in which postsynaptic neurons receive the sensory feedback, by using FM1-43 dye to label the synapses of both motor and sensory pathways that are associated with locomotion, then clearing the motor pathway synapse labeling, and finally identifying the target synapses by distinguishing physiologically functional synapses through destaining using a high-K(+) solution. A pair of synaptic regions associated with the sensory feedback was found to be located two or three cell body-widths away from the midline, between the anterior parts of the roots of the second lateral nerves (LNs) at the segmental ganglia (SGs). Using conventional intracellular recording and dye loading of the cell bodies surrounding these synaptic regions, we identified a pair of bilateral neurons with cell bodies larger than those of other cells in these regions, and named them "Oscillatory firing neurons Projecting to Peripheral nerves" (OPPs). These had a bipolar shape and projected neurites to the ipsilateral first and third LNs, fired rhythmically, and had a burst timing synchronized with the motor pattern bursts from the ipsilateral first LNs. Current injection into an OPP caused firing in the ipsilateral first LNs, supporting the hypothesis that OPPs functionally project to the peripheral nerves. OPPs also sent neurites to the adjacent anterior and posterior SGs, suggesting connections with the adjacent segments. We conclude that FM imaging can be used to identify neurons involved in specific functions, and that OPPs are the first neurons to be associated with OA-induced locomotion in the earthworm.

Abstract
To clarify the effect of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligand incompatibility on outcomes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients in complete remission after single cord blood transplantation (CBT), we assessed the outcomes of CBT registered in the Japan Society for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (JSHCT) database. A total of 643 acute leukemia (357 AML and 286 ALL) patient and donor pairs were categorized according to their KIR ligand incompatibility by determining whether or not they expressed HLA-C, Bw4 or A3/A11 by DNA typing. A total of 128 patient–donor pairs were KIR ligand-incompatible in the graft-versus-host (GVH) direction and 139 patient–donor pairs were incompatible in the host-versus-graft (HVG) direction. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed no significant differences between the KIR ligand-incompatible and compatible groups in the GVH direction for both AML and ALL patients of overall survival, disease-free survival, relapse incidence, non-relapse mortality and acute GVH disease. However, KIR incompatibility in the HVG direction ameliorated engraftment in ALL patients (hazard ratio 0.66, 95% confidence interval 0.47–0.91, P=0.013). Therefore, there were no effects of KIR ligand incompatibility in the GVH direction on single CBT outcomes for acute leukemia patients without anti-thymocyte globulin use. However, it is necessary to pay attention to KIR incompatibility in the HVG direction for engraftment.
