Abstract
Carcinomas of the common bile duct are usually seen as dilatation of the bile duct proximal to a solid mass on CT. In the case reported here, the common bile duct cancer itself mimicked dilated common bile duct on CT because of massive necrosis. In a case of simulating dilated common bile duct on CT, and discrepancy between CT and ultrasonography or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, a common bile duct cancer with massive necrosis should be included in the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance (MR) technique used to analyze diffusion anisotropy of the central nervous system (CNS) and can demonstrate subtle white matter anatomy. In particular, tractography is expected to be a unique, non-invasive tool to provide more pertinent insights into brain structure and orientation not accessible with conventional MRI. Data collection was performed in a normal volunteer on a 1.5-T MRI system using several techniques including six axis single-shot echo planar imaging (EPI), over six axis EPI, and periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction techniques. Tractography was generated by a continuous tracking method with our original software, Volume-One (for viewing volumetric image data) and VizDT-II (for analysis of DTI data). Using these data, estimated tracts were generated in arcuate fibers of cerebrum, cingulum, superior longitudinal fasciculus, uncinate fasciculus, inferior longitudinal fasciculus, corpus callosum, fornix, anterior thalamic radiation, central thalamic radiation, thalamo-parietal fibers, optic radiation, superior cerebellar peduncle, middle cerebellar peduncle, inferior cerebellar peduncle and intrinsic commissure paths of the hipoccampous. DTI including tractography allows differentiation between complex white matter tracts. The information regarding the detailed relationship may be useful for diagnosis of the location and extent of brain lesions, and preoperative planning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bright light therapy is widely used as the treatment of choice for seasonal affective disorder. Nonetheless, our understanding of the mechanisms of bright light is limited and it is important to investigate the mechanisms. The purpose of this study is to examine the hypothesis that bright light exposure may increase [(18) F]-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in olfactory bulb and/or hippocampus which may be associated neurogenesis in the human brain. METHOD A randomized controlled trial comparing 5-day bright light exposure + environmental light (bright light exposure group) with environmental light alone (no intervention group) was performed for 55 participants in a university hospital. The uptake of [(18) F]FDG in olfactory bulb and hippocampus using FDG positron emission tomography was compared between two groups. RESULTS There was a significant increase of uptake in both right and left olfactory bulb for bright light exposure group vs. no intervention group. After adjustment of log-transformed illuminance, there remained a significant increase of uptake in the right olfactory bulb. CONCLUSION The present findings suggest a possibility that 5-day bright light exposure may increase [(18) F]FDG in the right olfactory bulb of the human brain, suggesting a possibility of neurogenesis. Further studies are warranted to directly confirm this possibility.

Abstract
The dynamic behaviour of atomic-size disarrangements of atoms—point defects (self-interstitial atoms (SIAs) and vacancies)—often governs the macroscopic properties of crystalline materials. However, the dynamics of SIAs have not been fully uncovered because of their rapid migration. Using a combination of high-voltage transmission electron microscopy and exhaustive kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, we determine the dynamics of the rapidly migrating SIAs from the formation process of the nanoscale SIA clusters in tungsten as a typical body-centred cubic (BCC) structure metal under the constant-rate production of both types of point defects with high-energy electron irradiation, which must reflect the dynamics of individual SIAs. We reveal that the migration dimension of SIAs is not three-dimensional (3D) but one-dimensional (1D). This result overturns the long-standing and well-accepted view of SIAs in BCC metals and supports recent results obtained by ab-initio simulations. The SIA dynamics clarified here will be one of the key factors to accurately predict the lifetimes of nuclear fission and fusion materials.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) subtype occurs in approximately 20% of all patients with breast cancer and is associated with rapid growth, early metastasis and poor prognosis compared with other subtypes. TNBCs are a heterogeneous disease entity and further subclassification is needed, but still ongoing. In this study, we assessed BRCAness, defined as shared characteristics between sporadic and BRCA1-mutated tumors, in a cohort of basal-like and non-basal-like TNBCs.
Patients and Methods: DNA was isolated from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissues and BRCAness status was analyzed in 262 patients with primary TNBCs resected at our three hospitals between 2004 and 2014. Classification of BRCAness was performed by using Multiple Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA) with the probemix P376 BRCA1ness by MRC (Amsterdam, Holland). The tumor subtypes were routinely determined immunohistochemically by using resected specimens. Basal-like phenotype was defined as being positive for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and/or Cytokeratin 5/6 (CK5/6). Moreover, TNBCs were stained and analyzed for programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression as a target of new immune therapies.
Results: Of 262 TNBCs, 232 tumors (88.5%) was a basal-like phenotype. The results of MLPA assay showed that 159 (68.5%) of 232 tumors had a BRCAness profile. Patients with basal-like BRCAness tumors were younger than patients with basal-like non-BRCAness tumors (p<0.0001). There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding pathological stage. The basal-like BRCAness group had shorter relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) than the basal-like non-BRCAness group (p=0.028 and p=0.13, respectively), and anthracycline-based regimens provided greater benefit to the basal-like BRCAness group significantly (p=0.01 in RFS and p=0.007 in OS). PD-L1 was expressed in 71 (44.7%) of 159 basal-like TNBCs with BRCAness.
Conclusion: We reported the majority of basal-like TNBCs showed a BRCAness profile and PD-L1 expressed in approximately 50% of BRCAness tumors. It is known that about 30% of BRCAness tumors are BRCA1-mutated tumors. Those biomarkers are essential for subclassification of TNBCs and may offer not only platinum-based chemotherapy but also novel therapies, such as immune-targeted therapies of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and PARP inhibitors, to patients with basal-like TNBCs with BRCAness.

Abstract
In electronic-type ferroelectrics, where dipole moments produced by the variations of electron configurations are aligned, the polarization is expected to be rapidly controlled by electric fields. Such a feature can be used for high-speed electric-switching and memory devices. Electronic-type ferroelectrics include charge degrees of freedom, so that they are sometimes conductive, complicating dielectric measurements. This makes difficult the exploration of electronic-type ferroelectrics and the understanding of their ferroelectric nature. Here, we show unambiguous evidence for electronic ferroelectricity in the charge-order (CO) phase of a prototypical ET-based molecular compound, α-(ET)2I3 (ET:bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene), using a terahertz pulse as an external electric field. Terahertz-pump second-harmonic-generation(SHG)-probe and optical-reflectivity-probe spectroscopy reveal that the ferroelectric polarization originates from intermolecular charge transfers and is inclined 27° from the horizontal CO stripe. These features are qualitatively reproduced by the density-functional-theory calculation. After sub-picosecond polarization modulation by terahertz fields, prominent oscillations appear in the reflectivity but not in the SHG-probe results, suggesting that the CO is coupled with molecular displacements, while the ferroelectricity is electronic in nature. The results presented here demonstrate that terahertz-pump optical-probe spectroscopy is a powerful tool not only for rapidly controlling polarizations, but also for clarifying the mechanisms of ferroelectricity.

Abstract
We previously reported that a rotation/revolution pulverizer (NP-100) could mill a small amount of a drug (0.1 g) into nanoparticles in several minutes. In this investigation, scale up from the milligram to the kilogram scale of the nano-milling process by the rotation/revolution pulverizer was studied. Phenytoin was used as a model drug with low solubility in water. After confirming the improvement of the phenytoin bioavailability by milling to nanoparticles using NP-100, scaling parameters were evaluated using NP-100 and the middle scale model of NP-100 (ARV-3000T). A theoretical equation for the specific collisional energy was adapted for wet milling; this suggested that the relative centrifugal acceleration of revolution (revolution G) and the drug concentration in the suspension were the two most important parameters. The results obtained using NP-100 and ARV-3000T correlated well when these two parameters were identical. These results were applied to the large scale model of NP-100 (ARV-10KT), where 2 kg (1 kg x 2) of phenytoin nanoparticles were obtained in 60 min. The results from PXRD and DSC indicated that the milled phenytoin by ARV-3000T and ARV-10KT maintained its crystallinity. These results suggest nano-milling using a rotation/revolution pulverizer will be widely applicable to the development of nano-medicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Some branches of the internal maxillary artery have anastomoses with the inferolateral trunk that are important as intracranial-extracranial collateral pathways and as dangerous anastomoses for transarterial embolization of these branches. We present here an undescribed branch potentially anastomosing with the anteromedial branch of the inferolateral trunk, which is provisionally named the artery of the superior orbital fissure, defined as an arterial branch from the pterygopalatine segment of the maxillary artery to the orbital apex at the superior orbital fissure. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two neuroradiologists reviewed 3D and MPR images of the external and/or common carotid artery with particular interest paid to the artery of the superior orbital fissure in 54 patients who underwent 3D angiography with a field of view covering the pterygopalatine fossa and the cavernous sinus. The underlying diseases in these patients were 17 parasellar hypervascular lesions (including 13 cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas and 4 meningiomas), 18 internal carotid artery stenoses/occlusions, and 19 other diseases. RESULTS The artery of the superior orbital fissure was identified in 20 of 54 patients; it arose at the pterygopalatine segment of the maxillary artery, either singly or from a common trunk with the artery of the foramen rotundum, and ran upward to reach the superior orbital fissure. It anastomosed with the anteromedial branch of the inferolateral trunk at the superior orbital fissure with blood flow toward the cavernous sinus (n = 14) and/or the ophthalmic artery (n = 2). It was more prominent in parasellar hypervascular lesions and internal carotid artery stenoses/occlusions than in other diseases. CONCLUSIONS The artery of the superior orbital fissure, a remnant of the anastomotic artery, was often identified, especially in patients with parasellar hypervascular lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Routine surveillance in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) showed an increased detection of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-E. coli) in August 2012, following nearly a year without detection. AIM To describe the investigation and interventions by a hospital infection control team of an outbreak of ESBL-E. coli in a NICU. METHODS Six neonates with positive cultures of ESBL-E. coli (five with respiratory colonization, one with a urinary tract infection), control infants who were negative for ESBL-E. coli during the study period, and mothers who donated their breast milk were included. A case-control study was performed to identify possible risk factors for positive ESBL-E. coli cultures and molecular typing of isolated strains by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. FINDINGS The odds ratio for ESBL-E. coli infection after receiving shared unpasteurized breast milk during the study period was 49.17 (95% confidence interval: 6.02-354.68; P < 0.05). The pulsed-field gel electrophoresis pattern showed that all strains were identical, and the same pathogen was detected in freshly expressed milk of a particular donor. After ceasing the breast milk sharing, the outbreak was successfully terminated. CONCLUSION This outbreak indicates that contamination of milk packs can result in transmission of a drug-resistant pathogen to newborn infants. Providers of human breast milk need to be aware of the necessity for low-temperature pasteurization and bacterial cultures, which should be conducted before and after freezing, before prescribing to infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether reproducibility of gray matter volumetry is influenced by parameter settings for VBM 8 using Diffeomorphic Anatomical Registration Through Exponentiated Lie Algebra (DARTEL) with region-of-interest (ROI) analyses. METHODS We prepared three-dimensional T1-weighted magnetic resonance images (3D-T1WIs) of 21 healthy subjects. All subjects were imaged with each of five MRI systems. Voxel-based morphometry 8 (VBM 8) and WFU PickAtlas software were used for gray matter volumetry. The bilateral ROI labels used were those provided as default settings with the software: Frontal Lobe, Hippocampus, Occipital Lobe, Orbital Gyrus, Parietal Lobe, Putamen, and Temporal Lobe. All 3D-T1WIs were segmented to gray matter with six parameters of VBM 8, with each parameter having between three and eight selectable levels. Reproducibility was evaluated as the standard deviation (mm³) of measured values for the five MRI systems. RESULTS Reproducibility was influenced by 'Bias regularization (BiasR)', 'Bias FWHM', and 'De-noising filter' settings, but not by 'MRF weighting', 'Sampling distance', or 'Warping regularization' settings. Reproducibility in BiasR was influenced by ROI. Superior reproducibility was observed in Frontal Lobe with the BiasR1 setting, and in Hippocampus, Parietal Lobe, and Putamen with the BiasR3*, BiasR1, and BiasR5 settings, respectively. CONCLUSION Reproducibility of gray matter volumetry was influenced by parameter settings in VBM 8 using DARTEL and ROI. In multi-center studies, the use of appropriate settings in VBM 8 with DARTEL results in reduced scanner effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To obtain the prevalence with clinical symptoms of Cyclospora cayetanensis (C. cayetanensis), a coccidian protozoan parasite, in Thailand which is the cause of an intestinal infection characterized by sporadic-to-frequent explosive diarrhea. METHODS In a field survey conducted by the Faculty of Tropical Medicine, Mahidol University, as part of the existing parasite-control program, a total of 2 540 faecal samples from villagers in Nan Province, Thailand, were collected and examined to determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of parasitic infections. RESULTS Twelve cases of C. cayetanensis infection were found during faecal examination of schoolchildren aged 5-12 years. None exhibited obvious clinical symptoms, especially evidence of diarrhea; 5 of 12 had loose faeces, one reported frequent symptoms of abdominal discomfort, and another had pale conjunctiva with low hematocrit. The children were generally asymptomatic. CONCLUSIONS This finding confirms a public-health issue with potentially serious consequences whereby children can be exposed to an environment contaminated with food-and water-borne transmitted oocysts, and can hence become infected with C. cayetanensis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the pulmonary thin-section CT findings in patients with seasonal influenza virus pneumonia with Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia. METHODS The study group included 30 patients (20 males and 10 females; age range, 20-91 years; mean age, 55.9 years) with seasonal influenza virus pneumonia and 71 patients (47 males and 24 females; age range, 27-92 years; mean age, 67.5 years) with S. pneumoniae pneumonia. RESULTS The proportion of community-acquired infection was significantly higher in patients with influenza virus pneumonia than with S. pneumoniae pneumonia (p = 0.001). CT findings of ground-glass attenuation (GGA) (p = 0.012) and crazy-paving appearance (p = 0.03) were significantly more frequent in patients with influenza virus pneumonia than with S. pneumoniae pneumonia. Conversely, consolidation (p < 0.001), mucoid impaction (p < 0.001), centrilobular nodules (p = 0.04) and pleural effusion (p = 0.003) were significantly more frequent in patients with S. pneumoniae pneumonia than in those with influenza virus pneumonia. CONCLUSION Pulmonary thin-section CT findings, such as consolidation and mucoid impaction may be useful in distinguishing between seasonal influenza virus pneumonia and S. pneumoniae pneumonia. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE (1) Distinguishing seasonal influenza virus pneumonia with S. pneumoniae pneumonia is important. (2) The CT findings of GGA and crazy-paving appearance were more frequently found in patients with influenza virus pneumonia than in patients with S. pneumoniae pneumonia, whereas consolidation, mucoid impaction, centrilobular nodules and pleural effusion were more frequently found in patients with S. pneumoniae pneumonia.
