Abstract
The case of a 31-year-old woman with accessory breast cancer in the left axilla is described. She had noticed a swelling in the left axilla during her three pregnancies. The preoperative diagnosis of accessory breast cancer was made on the basis of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (US-FNAB) and clinical history. She was treated by wide local resection and regional lymph node dissection. Although cancer originating from accessory breast tissue has been reported very rarely, knowledge of this disorder may facilitate the correct diagnosis of axillary tumors. US-FNAB is a useful and simple technique for the tissue diagnosis of axillary tumors.

Abstract
A case of intrathyroid thyroglossal duct cyst is reported. A 50-year-old woman presented with a right lateral neck mass that was clinically indistinguishable from a thyroid nodule. Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy (US-FNAB) revealed normal-looking squamous cells. Right thyroid lobectomy was performed and microscopic examination revealed a cyst lined by squamous epithelium that was consistent with a thyroglossal duct cyst. The lesion was completely surrounded by normal thyroid tissue. Our experience suggests that intrathyroid thyroglossal duct cyst should be remembered in the differential diagnosis of a thyroid nodule. Detection of benign squamous cells by US-FNAB may be useful for ruling out the possibility of a cystic thyroid tumor.

Abstract
Levels of active Rac1 at epithelial junctions are partially modulated via interaction with Ajuba, an actin binding and scaffolding protein. Here we demonstrate that Ajuba interacts with the Cdc42 GTPase activating protein CdGAP, a GAP for Rac1 and Cdc42, at cell-cell contacts. CdGAP recruitment to junctions does not require Ajuba; rather Ajuba seems to control CdGAP residence at sites of cell-cell adhesion. CdGAP expression potently perturbs junctions and Ajuba binding inhibits CdGAP activity. Ajuba interacts with Rac1 and CdGAP via distinct domains and can potentially bring them in close proximity at junctions to facilitate activity regulation. Functionally, CdGAP-Ajuba interaction maintains junctional integrity in homeostasis and diseases: (i) gain-of-function CdGAP mutants found in Adams-Oliver Syndrome patients strongly destabilize cell-cell contacts and (ii) CdGAP mRNA levels are inversely correlated with E-cadherin protein expression in different cancers. We present conceptual insights on how Ajuba can integrate CdGAP binding and inactivation with the spatio-temporal regulation of Rac1 activity at junctions. Ajuba provides a novel mechanism due to its ability to bind to CdGAP and Rac1 via distinct domains and influence the activation status of both proteins. This functional interplay may contribute towards conserving the epithelial tissue architecture at steady-state and in different pathologies.

Abstract
The dynamic interaction between the traveling charges and the molecular vibrations is critical for the charge transport in organic semiconductors. However, a direct evidence of the expected impact of the charge-phonon coupling on the band dispersion of organic semiconductors is yet to be provided. Here, we report on the electronic properties of rubrene single crystal as investigated by angle resolved ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. A gap opening and kink-like features in the rubrene electronic band dispersion are observed. In particular, the latter results in a large enhancement of the hole effective mass (> 1.4), well above the limit of the theoretical estimations. The results are consistent with the expected modifications of the band structures in organic semiconductors as introduced by hole-phonon coupling effects and represent an important experimental step toward the understanding of the charge localization phenomena in organic materials.The charge transport properties in organic semiconductors are affected by the impact of molecular vibrations, yet it has been challenging to quantify them to date. Here, Bussolotti et al. provide direct experimental evidence on the band dispersion modified by molecular vibrations in a rubrene single crystal.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (•NO) modulates the activity of the endocrine system in the behavioral response to stress. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of restraining the body of an animal on expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus, and the inhibitory effect of para-masticatory activity on restraint-induced nNOS expression. We observed an increase in nNOS mRNA expression and nNOS-positive neurons in the rat hypothalamus after 30 or 60 min of restraint. Biting on a wooden stick during bodily restraint decreased nNOS mRNA expression in the hypothalamus. In addition, the number of nNOS-positive neurons was significantly reduced in the PVN of the hypothalamus. These observations clearly suggest a possible anti-stress effect of the masticatory activity of biting, and this mechanism might be unconsciously in operation during exposure to psychological stressors.

Abstract
This study investigated whether an intestinal epithelial culture method can be applied to mouse and human esophageal cultures. The esophagi harvested from 1-day-old mice and adult humans were maintained in collagen gels. A commercially available culture medium for human embryonic stem cells was used for the human esophageal culture. We discovered that the intestinal epithelial culture method can be successfully applied to both mouse and human esophageal cultures. The long-term cultured esophageal organoids were rod-like luminal structures lined with myofibroblasts. We discovered that regeneration of the esophageal mucosal surface can be almost completely achieved in vitro, and the advantage of this method is that organoid cultures may be generated using host-derived fibroblasts as a niche. This method is a promising tool for mouse and human research in intestinal biology, carcinogenesis, and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
In a randomized phase II study of sorafenib plus hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with cisplatin in comparison with sorafenib alone in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, it yielded favorable overall survival when compared with sorafenib alone. This is the first report of its effectiveness in relation to the overall survival in comparison with that of sorafenib alone in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Background Sorafenib (Sor) is acknowledged as a standard therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of addition of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with cisplatin (SorCDDP) to Sor for the treatment of advanced HCC. Patients and methods We conducted a multicenter open-labeled randomized phase II trial in chemo-naïve patients with advanced HCC with Child-Pugh scores of 5–7. Eligible patients were randomly assigned 2:1 to receive SorCDDP (sorafenib: 400 mg bid; cisplatin: 65 mg/m2, day 1, every 4–6 weeks) or Sor (400 mg bid). The primary end point was overall survival. Results A total of 108 patients were randomized (Sor, n = 42; SorCDDP, n = 66). The median survival in the Sor and SorCDDP arms were 8.7 and 10.6 months, respectively [stratified hazard ratio (95% confidence interval), 0.60 (0.38–0.96), P = 0.031]. The median time to progression and the response rate were, respectively, 2.8 months and 7.3% in the Sor arm and 3.1 months and 21.7% in the SorCDDP arm. The adverse events were more frequent in the SorCDDP arm than in the Sor arm, but well-tolerated. Conclusion SorCDDP yielded favorable overall survival when compared with Sor in patients with advanced HCC. Clinical Trial registration UMIN-CTR (http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index-j.htm), identification number: UMIN000005703.
