Search for doubly charged Higgs bosons decaying to dileptons in pp collisions at square root of s=1.96 TeV. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2004; 93:221802.

Abstract
We present the results of a search for doubly charged Higgs bosons (H+/-+/-) decaying to dileptons (ll(')) using approximately 240 pb(-1) of pp collision data collected by the CDF II experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. In our search region, given by same-sign ll(') mass m(ll('))>80 GeV/c(2) (100 GeV/c(2) for ee channel), we observe no evidence for H+/-+/- production. We set limits on sigma(pp -->H++H---->l(+)l('+)l(-)l('-)) as a function of the mass of the H+/-+/- and the chirality of its couplings. Assuming exclusive same-sign dilepton decays, we derive lower mass limits on H(+/-+/-)(L) of 133, 136, and 115 GeV/c(2) in the ee, mumu, and emu channels, respectively, and a lower mass limit of 113 GeV/c(2) on H(+/-+/-)(R) in the mumu channel, all at the 95% confidence level.

Evidence for direct CP violation in B0-->K+pi- decays. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2004; 93:191802.

Abstract
We report evidence for direct CP violation in the decay B0-->K+pi(-) with 253 fb(-1) of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) collider. Using 275x10(6) BB pairs we observe a B-->K+/-pi(-/+) signal with 2140+/-53 events. The measured CP violating asymmetry is A(CP)(K+pi(-))=-0.101+/-0.025(stat)+/-0.005(syst), corresponding to a significance of 3.9sigma including systematics. We also search for CP violation in the decays B+-->K+pi(0) and B+-->pi(+)pi(0). The measured CP violating asymmetries are A(CP)(K+pi(0))=0.04+/-0.05(stat)+/-0.02(syst) and A(CP)(pi(+)pi(0))=-0.02+/-0.10(stat)+/-0.01(syst), corresponding to the intervals -0.05<A(CP)(K+pi(0))<0.13 and -0.18<A(CP)(pi(+)pi(0))<0.14 at 90% confidence level.

Measurement of the tt production cross section in pp collisions at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV using dilepton events. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2004; 93:142001. [PMID: 15524782 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.93.142001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2004] [Indexed: 05/24/2023]
Abstract
We report a measurement of the tt production cross section using dilepton events with jets and missing transverse energy in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. Using a 197+/-12 pb(-1) data sample recorded by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab, we use two complementary techniques to select candidate events. We compare the number of observed events and selected kinematical distributions with the predictions of the standard model and find good agreement. The combined result of the two techniques yields a tt production cross section of 7.0(+2.4)(-2.1)(stat)+1.6-1.1(syst)+/-0.4(lum) pb.

Abstract
We report the observation of a narrow state decaying into J/psipi+pi- and produced in 220 pb(-1) of p p-bar collisions at =1.96 Tesqaure root of sV in the CDF II experiment. We observe 730+/-90 decays. The mass is measured to be 3871.3+/-0.7(stat)+/-0.4(syst) MeV/c2, with an observed width consistent with the detector resolution. This is in agreement with the recent observation by the Belle Collaboration of the X(3872) meson.

Abstract
We report on a search for B(0)(s)-->micro(+)micro(-) and B(0)(d)-->micro(+)micro(-) decays in pp collisions at square root of s=1.96 TeV using 171 pb(-1) of data collected by the CDF II experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The decay rates of these rare processes are sensitive to contributions from physics beyond the standard model. One event survives all our selection requirements, consistent with the background expectation. We derive branching ratio limits of B(B(0)(s)-->micro(+)micro(-))<5.8x10(-7) and B(B(0)(d)-->micro(+)micro(-))<1.5x10(-7) at 90% confidence level.

Abstract
In chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, immune responses to hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) are weak. Interleukin (IL)-10 is a potent immunosuppressive cytokine which we reported recently to be secreted in response to HBcAg by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with chronic HBV infection or healthy controls. Using an enzyme-linked immunospot assay, we compared the ability of HBcAg to stimulate IL-10 production by PBMC with that of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), phytohaemagglutinin-P and hepatitis C virus-derived antigens in 16 patients with chronic HBV infection and six healthy controls. Frequencies of IL-10 spot-forming cells (SFC) in response to HBcAg were comparable to those obtained with LPS in patients with chronic HBV infection. Frequencies of IL-10 SFC in response to HBcAg or to LPS were significantly higher in patients with chronic HBV infection than in healthy controls. IL-10 SFC in response to HBcAg consisted of 26-35% T cells, 62-70% monocytes and less than 1% B cells in patients with chronic HBV infection. Only monocytes contributed to IL-10 production in controls. Frequencies of HBcAg stimulated IL-10 SFC representing T cells and monocytes were significantly higher in patients with elevated serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and detectable HBV DNA than in patients with normal ALT and undetectable HBV DNA. The potent ability of HBcAg to stimulate IL-10 production by PBMC may contribute importantly to immune tolerance toward HBV.

Abstract
We report on measurements of differential cross sections dsigma/dp(T) for prompt charm meson production in ppmacr; collisions at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV using 5.8+/-0.3 pb(-1) of data from the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The data are collected with a new trigger that is sensitive to the long lifetime of hadrons containing heavy flavor. The charm meson cross sections are measured in the central rapidity region |y|</=1 in four fully reconstructed decay modes: D0-->K-pi(+), D(*+)-->D0pi(+), D+-->K-pi(+)pi(+), D(+)(s)-->phipi(+), and their charge conjugates. The measured cross sections are compared to theoretical calculations.

Abstract
AIMS The inactivation of Bacillus subtilis 168 spores subjected to the combined stress of pH, temperature and sodium chloride in a buffer system was modelled. METHODS AND RESULTS Bacillus subtilis 168 spore suspension in 50 mmol l-1 potassium phosphate buffer was heated in an open system using a block heater. A second order polynomial equation was used to describe the relationship between pH, temperature, sodium chloride concentration and the logarithm of the decimal reduction time (D-value) of the spores. Response surface graphs were constructed to predict the inactivation within the experimental domain. The data obtained were also compared with those reported for B. subtilis in different media and foods included in a large reference-based database of thermal inactivation (ThermoKill Database, TKDB R9100), which was constructed in the laboratory. CONCLUSIONS All the variables studied seemed to have a significant effect on the inactivation of B. subtilis 168 spores in potassium phosphate buffer. The coefficient of determination, r2, and an analysis of the residuals from the model indicated the adequacy of the model to predict the inactivation of B. subtilis spores within the range of the experimental variables studied. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The findings of this study will enable a better understanding of the inactivation of B. subtilis spores under the influence of the studied environmental variables. The model can be used by food industries to assess and monitor the shelf life of food products in the event of a chance contamination by B. subtilis spores.

Abstract
We treated a patient of type IV mucopolysaccharidosis (Morquio's disease) with lower leg paresis due to kyphoscoliosis. A 65-year-old woman presented with Morquio's disease. A lateral radiograph demonstrated the classic bullet-shaped vertebrae and a 65 degrees thoraco-lumbar kyphosis. After the age of 60, she suffered from numbness in both lower legs and walking disturbance. Bilateral patellae-tendon reflexes were exaggerated. MRI showed compression of the spinal cord around T12 to L2 with a highlighted area of change inside the spinal cord. Myelography and computed tomography after the myelography showed narrowing of the sub-arachnoidal space and deformation of the spinal cord around the T12 to L2 levels. Severe vertebral osteoporosis made it necessary to first perform posterior correction of the kyphosis and fusion. The curve was stabilised with the Luque method from T7 to L4. Her neurological condition markedly recovered, but 1 year after surgery her neurological condition again began to deteriorate, resulting in walking disturbance. For this reason, anterior decompression and fusion through a lateral thoracotomy was undertaken. Decompression of the spinal cord and a bone graft from the iliac crest were attained. The patient's neurological condition again improved, but not as much as immediately after the first operation.

Abstract
The patient presented with neurofibromatosis and a dystrophic kyphoscoliosis around the cervico-thoracic junction. When the patient was 59 years old, he started to suffer from dyspnea caused by an intrathoracic meningocele in the upper left thoracic cavity. A wide laminectomy from T2 to T5 was performed and the meningocele was resected. Although the dyspnoea disappeared postoperatively, the patient started to neurologically deteriorate. Laminectomy alone caused instability around the apex of the kyphosoliosis and spinal cord compression. Halo cast was applied and brought remarkable recovery of neurologic deficits. This result encouraged us to perform posterior fusion in situ from C3 to L2 with bone graft from the iliac crests and the Luque technique in conjunction with the Isola system. This resulted in the patient being able to walk again. The removal of the posterior element predisposes the patient to unstable postlaminectomy kyphosis and removes valuable bone stock required for posterior spinal fusion. For this reason, spinal fusion should have been conducted during surgery for the patient's meningocele.

Abstract
We have used outer cell potential measurement to record agonist-dependent cellular responses in cells engineered to express ligand-gated ion channels and grown on a microelectrode surface. Application of glutamate, a natural agonist, induced a complex and robust potentiometric response in cells expressing homomeric GluR-D glutamate receptor, but not in nonexpressing control cells. The response consisted of an initial decrease in outer potential followed by a transient increase and was not obtained for other amino acids devoid of agonist activity at glutamate receptors. Furthermore, the pharmacological agonist of the GluR-D receptor, kainate, also produced the potentiometric response whereas 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione, a competitive antagonist, was not active in itself but attenuated the responses to glutamate. The time course of the measured changes was slow, which may be partially due to the ligand being applied by free diffusion but may also reflect a contribution by secondary changes in the behavior of the cells. This novel approach should be applicable to other ligand-gated ion channels and holds promise as a cell-based biosensor for high-throughput drug screening and other applications.

Abstract
Transgenic rice ( Oryza sativa cv. Sasanishiki) overexpressing the wasabi defensin gene, a plant defensin effective against the rice blast fungus, was generated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Twenty-two T2 homozygous lines harboring the wasabi defensin gene were challenged by the blast fungus. Transformants exhibited resistance to rice blast at various levels. The inheritance of the resistance over generations was investigated. T3 plants derived from two highly blast-resistant T2 lines (WT14-5 and WT43-5) were challenged with the blast fungus using the press-injured spots method. The average size of disease lesions of the transgenic line WT43-5 was reduced to about half of that of non-transgenic plants. The 5-kDa peptide, corresponding to the processed form of the wasabi defensin, was detected in the total protein fraction extracted from the T3 progeny. Transgenic rice plants overproducing wasabi defensin are expected to possess a durable and wide-spectrum resistance (i.e. field resistance) against various rice blast races.

Abstract
Genetic variation of Japanese rice cultivars were examined. Five of 450 lowland cultivars and another five of 200 upland cultivars were determined as the indica type by using isozyme genotypes and the remainder were of the japonica type. The major characteristics of these indica cultivars, revealed a slender shape of grains, a short apiculus hair length, a positive allele for Ph reaction, and allele-3 for the Pgd1 locus. Three of these indica cultivars showed a non-deletion ORF100, which is essential to the japonica-type plastid. The plastid subtype identity (PS-ID) sequences of these plastids is 6C7A, which is also a japonica-specific repeat unit. Thus, these cultivars were concluded to be naturally generated cytoplasm substituted lines. These plastids were introduced into a indica genetic background from japonica cultivars grown elsewhere. The rest of the indica cultivars revealed a deletion-type ORF100 and plastid subtype 8C8A, both of which are indica-specific. These cultivars carried indica-type allelic constitutions for diagnostic isozyme loci. However, other characters were identical to the cytoplasm-substituted cultivars in Japan. In East and Southeast Asia, cultivars carrying a indica-type nuclear genotype with a japonica-type plastid are restricted to Aus cultivars in the Bengal region. Genetic and historical records suggest that Japanese indica cultivars and the Aus cultivars are closely related. The Aus cultivars acquire necessary genetic constitutions from both indica and japonica cultivars through naturally occurring out-crossing to adapt to a particular cultivation condition in the region. The wide adaptability enabled them to be introduced into a northern region like Japan.

Abstract
Plastid subtype ID (PS-ID) sequences were determined from sequence data based on CA repeats between genes rpl16 and rpl14 in Japanese lowland and upland cultivars. The PS-ID sequences of Japanese rice cultivars showed that there are different maternal origins between lowland and upland cultivars. One subtype, 6C7A, of PS-ID sequences was predominant in all but one Japanese lowland cultivar and carried a combination of the indica-specific subtype 8C8A and japonica-specific nuclear markers for the isozyme genotype. It is probably a nuclear-cytoplasmic recombinant resulting from natural out-crossing and succeeding self-pollination. The origin of the plastid was re-confirmed by the existence of an indica-specific deletion in the plastid genome. In contrast, the Japanese upland cultivars showed two subtypes, 7C6A and 6C7A, of PS-ID sequences. An upland-specific isozyme allele as a nuclear marker was equally predominant in cultivars carrying each subtype. The existence of these particular upland-specific nuclear and cytoplasmic genotypes suggests that the origin of Japanese upland cultivars is different from that of Japanese lowland cultivars. Cultivars carrying the upland-specific nuclear genotype are common in Southeast Asia, but the combination of the upland-specific nuclear and cytoplasmic genotypes which is the same as the Japanese upland predominant type was found in cultivars only in Taiwan and Indonesia. Japanese upland cultivars are closely related to those cultivars.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after radical cystectomy in patients with an ileal conduit or an orthotopic neobladder. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 85 men who underwent radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, comprising 48 with an orthotopic neobladder (26 with an ileal and 22 with a colon neobladder) and 37 with an ileal conduit. HRQoL was evaluated using the Short Form-36 survey containing 36 questions assessing eight aspects, including physical functioning, role-physical functioning, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional functioning and mental health. RESULTS The mean follow-up periods for patients with a neobladder (ileal and sigmoid) and with an ileal conduit was 45.9 (38.2 and 53.1, respectively) and 130.9 months, respectively. Scale scores were not affected by the duration of follow-up in either group. There was no significant difference in any scale scores between the neobladder and ileal conduit groups. However, general health and social functioning in both the neobladder and ileal conduit groups appeared to be significantly lower than those in the general population in the USA. Furthermore, patients with a colon neobladder had a significantly higher score for role-emotional functioning than those with an ileal neobladder, while there was no significant difference in the remaining seven scores between patients with ileal and colon neobladders. CONCLUSIONS Six of the eight scales of HRQoL were favourable in both patients with a neobladder or an ileal conduit, and there was no significant difference between these groups. In addition, the HRQoL of patients with an orthotopic neobladder (except for role-emotional functioning) was unaffected by the segment of the intestine used for neobladder construction. Therefore, patients with both types of urinary diversion were generally satisfied with their overall health and quality of life.

Abstract
To investigate the mechanism of anemia accompanying Japanese bovine theileriosis, we examined whether production of methemoglobin (MetHB), an indicator of erythrocyte oxidation, was associated with anemia in cattle experimentally infected with Theileria sergenti. The percentage of MetHB, which is an oxidized form of hemoglobin, increased according to the onset of anemia. During severe anemia, high levels of acquired methemoglobinemia were observed in all infected cattle. A significant correlation (r=-0.649; P<0.01) between an increase in MetHB concentration and a decrease in packed cell volume (PCV) was observed. It was considered that hemoglobin oxidation may be one of the aggravating factors of anemia in T. sergenti infection.

Abstract
A population study on the short tandem repeat (STR) locus D11S554 was carried out in a sample of 362 unrelated Japanese individuals living in the Gifu Prefecture. A total of 46 different alleles ranging from 180 bp to 340 bp and 135 genotypes were revealed. Sequence analysis of alleles was carried out for 185 samples. The sequence structures of the repeat regions of the alleles were found to be complex and the alleles were classified into nine sequence types, including four new sequence types. According to the system of Adams et al. (1993), we designated the new sequence types IA3, IA4, IA5 and IB3, respectively. Out of the 46 different alleles, 11 showed sequence heterogeneity. The results of this study demonstrated that the D11S554 locus is a powerful and useful genetic marker for forensic practice in the Japanese population.

Abstract
Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery (RCA) from the left sinus of Valsalva (LSV) is rare and has only recently been recognized as a cause of sudden cardiac death in otherwise healthy individuals. In this report, we describe two cases of anomalous origin of the RCA from the LSV. In the first case, a previously healthy 11-year-old girl died suddenly and unexpectedly. An autopsy revealed no abnormalities, except for anomalous origin of the RCA from the LSV. In the second case, a 21-year-old woman died by drowning in a bath, probably after an episode of syncope brought about by anomalous origin of the RCA from the LSV.

Abstract
Aspergillus pancarditis is a rare infection, and it has rarely been reported after blood transfusion. In this report, we describe a fatal case of Aspergillus pancarditis in a patient who received antibiotics and corticoids after an incompatible blood transfusion intended to be an autologous blood transfusion. A 64-year-old man suffering from herniation of intervertebral disk between C4 and C5 received an anterior cervical spinal fusion. After the operation, he received incompatible blood transfusion and fell into disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and preshock state. Anticoagulants and corticoids were given and he recovered from DIC and the preshock state. However, he remained quadriplegic because of enlargement of cervical epidural hematoma that was initially brought out by the operation. He developed bacterial bronchopneumonia 2 weeks after the transfusion and received antibiotic therapy. The pneumonia was cured a week later. Five weeks after the transfusion, he developed Aspergillus pneumonia and received antimycotic therapy. However, his condition grew worse and died 2 months after the transfusion. Autopsy revealed Aspergillus pancarditis. In this case, the relationship between the erroneous transfusion and the patient's death was obvious and it was considered that the erroneous transfusion should be blamed for the patient's death.
