Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Arterial spin-labeling MR imaging has been recently developed as a noninvasive technique with magnetically labeled arterial blood water as an endogenous contrast medium for the evaluation of CBF. Our aim was to compare arterial spin-labeling MR imaging and SPECT in the visual assessment of CBF in patients with Alzheimer disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 33 patients with Alzheimer disease or mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer disease, CBF images were obtained by using both arterial spin-labeling-MR imaging with a postlabeling delay of 1.5 seconds and 2.5 seconds (PLD1.5 and PLD2.5, respectively) and brain perfusion SPECT. Twenty-two brain regions were visually assessed, and the diagnostic confidence of Alzheimer disease was recorded. RESULTS Among all arterial spin-labeling images, 84.9% of PLD1.5 and 9% of PLD2.5 images showed the typical pattern of advanced Alzheimer disease (ie, decreased CBF in the bilateral parietal, temporal, and frontal lobes). PLD1.5, PLD2.5, and SPECT imaging resulted in obviously different visual assessments. PLD1.5 showed a broad decrease in CBF, which could have been due to an early perfusion. In contrast, PLD2.5 did not appear to be influenced by an early perfusion but showed fewer pathologic findings than SPECT. CONCLUSIONS The distinctions observed by us should be carefully considered in the visual assessments of Alzheimer disease. Further studies are required to define the patterns of change in arterial spin-labeling-MR imaging associated with Alzheimer disease.

Abstract
Background It is quite difficult to evaluate ataxic gait quantitatively in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to analyze the characteristics of ataxic gait using a triaxial accelerometer and to develop a novel biomarker of integrated gate parameters for ataxic gait. Methods Sixty-one patients with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) or multiple system atrophy with predominant cerebellar ataxia (MSA-C) and 57 healthy control subjects were enrolled. The subjects were instructed to walk 10 m for a total of 12 times on a flat floor at their usual walking speed with a triaxial accelerometer attached to their back. Gait velocity, cadence, step length, step regularity, step symmetry, and degree of body sway were evaluated. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to analyze the multivariate gait parameters. The Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) was evaluated on the same day of the 10-m walk trial. Results PCA divided the gait parameters into four principal components in the controls and into two principal components in the patients. The four principal components in the controls were similar to those found in earlier studies. The second principal component in the patients had relevant factor loading values for gait velocity, step length, regularity, and symmetry in addition to the degree of body sway in the medio-lateral direction. The second principal component score (PCS) in the patients was significantly correlated with disease duration and the SARA score of gait (ρ = −0.363, p = 0.004; ρ = −0.574, p < 0.001, respectively). Conclusions PCA revealed the main component of ataxic gait. The PCS of the main component was significantly different between the patients and controls, and it was well correlated with disease duration and the SARA score of gait in the patients. We propose that this score provides a novel method to assess the severity of ataxic gait quantitatively using a triaxial accelerometer.

Abstract
Although tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly improved the prognosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), the ability of TKIs to eradicate CML remains uncertain and patients must continue TKI therapy for indefinite periods. In this study, we performed whole-exome sequencing to identify somatic mutations in 24 patients with newly diagnosed chronic phase CML who were registered in the JALSG CML212 study. We identified 191 somatic mutations other than the BCR-ABL1 fusion gene (median 8, range 1–17). Age, hemoglobin concentration and white blood cell counts were correlated with the number of mutations. Patients with mutations ⩾6 showed higher rate of achieving major molecular response than those<6 (P=0.0381). Mutations in epigenetic regulator, ASXL1, TET2, TET3, KDM1A and MSH6 were found in 25% of patients. TET2 or TET3, AKT1 and RUNX1 were mutated in one patient each. ASXL1 was mutated within exon 12 in three cases. Mutated genes were significantly enriched with cell signaling and cell division pathways. Furthermore, DNA copy number analysis showed that 2 of 24 patients had uniparental disomy of chromosome 1p or 3q, which disappeared major molecular response was achieved. These mutations may play significant roles in CML pathogenesis in addition to the strong driver mutation BCR-ABL1.

Abstract
T2K reports its first results in the search for CP violation in neutrino oscillations using appearance and disappearance channels for neutrino- and antineutrino-mode beams. The data include all runs from January 2010 to May 2016 and comprise 7.482×10^{20} protons on target in neutrino mode, which yielded in the far detector 32 e-like and 135 μ-like events, and 7.471×10^{20} protons on target in antineutrino mode, which yielded 4 e-like and 66 μ-like events. Reactor measurements of sin^{2}2θ_{13} have been used as an additional constraint. The one-dimensional confidence interval at 90% for the phase δ_{CP} spans the range (-3.13, -0.39) for normal mass ordering. The CP conservation hypothesis (δ_{CP}=0, π) is excluded at 90% C.L.

Abstract
Whereas accumulating studies have supported the cancer stem cell theory, a specific therapy targeting a cancer stem cell subpopulation has not been established. Here, we show that dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-kinase 2 (DYRK2) is a novel negative regulator for formation of breast cancer stem cells. Downregulation of DYRK2 promotes cancer stem-like traits in vitro, tumourigenesis in vivo and the proportion of the cancer stem cell population in human breast cancer tissues. We found that Krupple-like factor 4 (KLF4) serves as a key mediator of DYRK2's control over the cancer stem phenotype. Reduced DYRK2 expression increases KLF4 expression, which induces cancer stem-like properties. We identified androgen receptor (AR) as a transcription factor binding to the KLF4 promoter region; this process is dependent on DYRK2 kinase activity. Our findings delineate a mechanism of cancer stem cell regulation by the DYRK2-AR-KLF4 axis in breast cancer. Targeting of this pathway may be a promising strategy against breast cancer stem cells.

Abstract
This study examined whether feeding hydroalcoholic extract of Lepidium meyenii (maca) to 8-week-old (sexually maturing) or 18-week-old (mature) male rats for more than a half year affects serum testosterone concentration and testosterone production by Leydig cells cultured with hCG, 22R-hydroxycholesterol or pregnenolone. Testosterone concentration was determined in the serum samples obtained before and 6, 12, 18 and 24 weeks after the feeding, and it was significantly increased only at the 6 weeks in the group fed with the maca extract to maturing rats when it was compared with controls. Testosterone production by Leydig cells significantly increased when cultured with hCG by feeding the maca extract to maturing rats for 27 weeks (35 weeks of age) and when cultured with 22R-hydroxycholesterol by feeding it to mature rats for 30 weeks (48 weeks of age). Overall testosterone production by cultured Leydig cells decreased to about a half from 35 to 48 weeks of age. These results suggest that feeding the maca extract for a long time to male rats may enhance the steroidogenic ability of Leydig cells to alleviate its decline with ageing, whereas it may cause only a transient increase in blood testosterone concentration in sexually maturing male rats.

Abstract
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling can be used to predict drug pharmacokinetics in virtual populations using models that integrate understanding of physiological systems. PBPK models have been widely utilized for predicting pharmacokinetics in clinically untested scenarios during drug applications and regulatory reviews in recent years. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of the application of PBPK in new drug application (NDA) review documents from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the past 4 years.

Abstract
The axon initial segment (AIS) is a specialized domain essential for neuronal function, the formation of which begins with localization of an ankyrin-G (AnkG) scaffold. However, the mechanism directing and maintaining AnkG localization is largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that in vivo knockdown of microtubule cross-linking factor 1 (MTCL1) in cerebellar Purkinje cells causes loss of axonal polarity coupled with AnkG mislocalization. MTCL1 lacking MT-stabilizing activity failed to restore these defects, and stable MT bundles spanning the AIS were disorganized in knockdown cells. Interestingly, during early postnatal development, colocalization of MTCL1 with these stable MT bundles was observed prominently in the axon hillock and proximal axon. These results indicate that MTCL1-mediated formation of stable MT bundles is crucial for maintenance of AnkG localization. We also demonstrate that Mtcl1 gene disruption results in abnormal motor coordination with Purkinje cell degeneration, and provide evidence suggesting possible involvement of MTCL1 dysfunction in the pathogenesis of spinocerebellar ataxia.

Abstract
Abstract
RERF's epidemiological study on atomic bomb survivors has found increased incidence of several types of cancers with increased radiation dose. A great deal of inter-individual variation in susceptibility to radiation-associated breast cancer could not be explained solely by radiation dose, suggesting the possibility of partial involvement of DNA repair capacity. Of 11 known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the DNA repair gene ATM, we selected a particular SNP (located in the 5' untranslated region and therefore thought to be associated with ATM gene expression) and examined the association with radiation-associated breast cancer in the context of an RERF A-bomb survivor cohort study. A follow-up survey of 3,040 female members of the RERF Immunogenome Study Cohort during 1981-2009 identified a total of 108 breast cancer cases. ATM genotypes (ATM-G/G, -G/A, and -A/A) were determined by the TaqMan assay method for all cohort members. Relative risks (RRs) of breast cancer were estimated for radiation dose, the ATM genotypes, and the combined categories of dose levels and genotypes. As a result, RR of breast cancer significantly increased with increased radiation dose (RR = 1.46/Gy, 95% CI: 1.19-1.80). A-bomb survivors with ATM-G/G homozygote revealed a significantly-increased RR of breast cancer (RR = 1.74, 95%CI: 1.18-2.56), using as a reference the risk of those with ATM-A/A homozygotes combined with ATM-G/A heterozygotes. When dividing the subjects into two groups by age at exposure (under 20 years of age and over 20), RR of breast cancer significantly increased with radiation dose in the group aged less than 20 years at exposure (RR = 1.65/Gy, 95% CI: 1.29-2.11), but no significant increase in RR by genotype was observed. In the group aged over 20 years at exposure, there was no significant increase in RR of breast cancer by dose, but RR of breast cancer significantly increased among ATM-G/G homozygotes, using as a reference the risk of ATM-A/A homozygotes combined with ATM-G/A heterozygotes (RR = 2.28, 95%CI: 1.28-4.06). In all analyses, no interaction between RR of breast cancer and combinations of radiation dose and genotype was detected. These findings suggested that the ATM genotypes and radiation dose might affect the risk of breast cancer among A-bomb survivors and that the significance of such impact might differ by age at exposure.

Abstract
Abstract
<Introduction>
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been defined by the potential to self-renew and to differentiate. CSCs pose a major hurdle in the treatment of cancer. However, the mechanisms by which cells acquire CSC properties such as drug resistance remain unclear.
Dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated kinase 2 (DYRK2) is a protein kinase that phosphorylates its substrates on serine/threonine. Initially, we found that DYRK2 phosphorylates p53 at Ser 46 to regulate apoptotic cell death in response to DNA damage. Recently, we have shown that DYRK2 controls Snail degradation in breast cancer and ovarian serous adenocarcinoma. We also found that knockdown of DYRK2 in luminal-type breast cancer MCF-7 cells increased the cancer stem cell population.
Kruppel-like factor 4 (KLF4) is one of the Yamanaka factors. It has been reported that pluripotent stem cells from mouse embryonic or adult fibroblasts are induced by introducing four factors, Oct3/4, Sox2, c-Myc, and Klf4. This finding led us to determine if KLF4 is indispensable for the maintenance of CSCs.
The aim of this study is to clarify whether DYRK2 regulates CSCs through KLF4 in breast cancer.
<Methods>
Cell lines: MCF-7 (human mammary carcinoma: ATCC) cells were grown according to standard protocols.
We established stable DYRK2-depleted cells. MCF-7 cells were transfected with pSuper-puro vector (pSuper control) or pSuper-puro DYRK2 shRNAs (shDYRK2) with puromycin to isolate stable cell lines.
In turn, we established both stable DYRK2- and KLF4-depleted cells. shDYRK2 cells were transfected with pSuper-neo vector (pSuper-neo control) or pSuper-neo KLF4 shRNAs (shKLF4) with puromycin and G418. Knockdown of DYRK2 or KLF4 was confirmed by real-time RT-PCR and immunoblotting.
The depleted cells were compared with the control cells using real-time RT-PCR, immunoblotting, flow cytometric analysis, mammosphere assay, xenograft models and immunohistological staining.
<Results>
We analyzed the population of breast cancer stem cells by flow cytometric analysis and in vitro mammosphere assay. The results showed that knockdown of DYRK2 was associated with the increase of CD44+/CD24- cells. While pSuper control cells formed mammospheres, they did in a lesser extent compared to shDYRK2 cells.
In real-time RT-PCR and immunoblotting analysis, stable DYRK2 depletion in MCF-7 cells induced KLF4 accumulation.
We then investigated the effect of KLF4 on stemness by flow cytometric analysis and in vitro mammosphere assay. The results showed that knockdown of KLF4 in shDYRK2 cells reduced the proportion of CD44+/CD24- cells. Whereas shDYRK2/shKLF4 cells formed mammospheres, they did in a lesser extent compared to shDYRK2/pSuper-neo control cells. Moreover, the scale of the mammospheres formed in shDYRK2/shKLF4 cells was significantly smaller, as compared with that in shDYRK2/pSuper-neo control cells.
In xenograft models, the loss of KLF4 protein expression significantly decreased tumor formation.
Immunohistological staining of fifty-nine samples from surgically treated breast cancer patients showed an inverse correlation between DYRK2 and KLF4 expression.
<Conclusion>
These findings revealed that DYRK2 contributes to the generation of breast cancer stem cells through KLF4.

Using spatial metrics and surveys for the assessment of trans-boundary deforestation in protected areas of the Maya Mountain Massif: Belize-Guatemala border.

Abstract
Understanding the trans-boundary deforestation history and patterns in protected areas along the Belize-Guatemala border is of regional and global importance. To assess deforestation history and patterns in our study area along a section of the Belize-Guatemala border, we incorporated multi-temporal deforestation rate analysis and spatial metrics with survey results. This multi-faceted approach provides spatial analysis with relevant insights from local stakeholders to better understand historic deforestation dynamics, spatial characteristics and human perspectives regarding the underlying causes thereof. During the study period 1991-2014, forest cover declined in Belize's protected areas: Vaca Forest Reserve 97.88%-87.62%, Chiquibul National Park 99.36%-92.12%, Caracol Archeological Reserve 99.47%-78.10% and Colombia River Forest Reserve 89.22%-78.38% respectively. A comparison of deforestation rates and spatial metrics indices indicated that between time periods 1991-1995 and 2012-2014 deforestation and fragmentation increased in protected areas. The major underlying causes, drivers, impacts, and barriers to bi-national collaboration and solutions of deforestation along the Belize-Guatemala border were identified by community leaders and stakeholders. The Mann-Whitney U test identified significant differences between leaders and stakeholders regarding the ranking of challenges faced by management organizations in the Maya Mountain Massif, except for the lack of assessment and quantification of deforestation (LD, SH: 18.67, 23.25, U = 148, p > 0.05). The survey results indicated that failure to integrate buffer communities, coordinate among managing organizations and establish strong bi-national collaboration has resulted in continued ecological and environmental degradation. The information provided by this research should aid managing organizations in their continued aim to implement effective deforestation mitigation strategies.

Abstract
Recent genetic analysis has identified frequent mutations in ten-eleven translocation 2 (TET2), DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A), isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2) and ras homolog family member A (RHOA) in nodal T-cell lymphomas, including angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified. We examined the distribution of mutations in these subtypes of mature T-/natural killer cell neoplasms to determine their clonal architecture. Targeted sequencing was performed for 71 genes in tumor-derived DNA of 87 cases. The mutations were then analyzed in a programmed death-1 (PD1)-positive population enriched with tumor cells and CD20-positive B cells purified by laser microdissection from 19 cases. TET2 and DNMT3A mutations were identified in both the PD1+ cells and the CD20+ cells in 15/16 and 4/7 cases, respectively. All the RHOA and IDH2 mutations were confined to the PD1+ cells, indicating that some, including RHOA and IDH2 mutations, being specific events in tumor cells. Notably, we found that all NOTCH1 mutations were detected only in the CD20+ cells. In conclusion, we identified both B- as well as T-cell-specific mutations, and mutations common to both T and B cells. These findings indicate the expansion of a clone after multistep and multilineal acquisition of gene mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study used a questionnaire to objectively assess the body image of donors who underwent conventional laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (L-DN) or laparoscopic single-site donor nephrectomy (LESS-DN). Surgical outcomes were compared between the two groups. METHODS Twenty patients underwent L-DN and 20 underwent LESS-DN. The postoperative outcomes of the two approaches were retrospectively compared and evaluated for differences in cosmesis and body image. The questionnaire comprised a body image questionnaire, including a body image scale (BIS) and cosmetic scale (CS), and a photo-series questionnaire (PSQ). A higher score indicated a more favorable assessment. Pain was assessed by comparing the number of times an analgesic was administered during hospitalization. RESULTS There were no significant differences in operative outcomes between L-DN and LESS-DN. The average BIS score (maximum possible, 20 points) was 18.5 points for patients who underwent L-DN and 19.5 points for patients who underwent LESS-DN (P = .025). Patients who underwent L-DN had a median CS score (maximum possible, 24 points) of 17.5 points, whereas patients who underwent LESS-DN had a median CS score of 19.0 points (P = .113). The average PSQ score was 7.1 points for patients who underwent L-DN and 8.8 points for patients who underwent LESS-DN (P = .01). Patients who underwent LESS-DN were administered an analgesic was significantly number of times less than patients who underwent DN (P = .01). CONCLUSIONS LESS-DN results in a better body image and better cosmetic appearance than does L-DN, indicating the clinical usefulness of LESS-DN.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the economic benefits of cognitive remediation and supported employment (CR + SE). The present study aimed to investigate the cost-effectiveness of CR + SE compared with traditional vocational services (TVS). METHOD Individuals with mental illness and low cognitive function were recruited at six sites in Japan. A total of 111 participants were randomly allocated to the CR + SE group or the TVS group. Clinical and vocational outcomes were assessed at baseline and 12-month follow-up. Service utilization data were collected monthly. The data on outcomes and costs were combined to examine cost-effectiveness. RESULTS The data were obtained from a total of 92 participants. The CR + SE group resulted in better vocational and clinical outcomes (employment rate, 62.2%; work tenures, 78.6 days; cognitive improvement, 0.5) than the TVS group (19.1%, 24.9 days and 0.2). There was no significant difference in mean total costs between the groups (CR + SE group: $9823, s.d. = $6372, TVS group: $11 063, s.d. = $11 263) with and without adjustment for covariates. However, mean cost for medical services in the CR + SE group was significantly lower than that in the TVS group after adjusting covariates (Β = -$3979, 95% confidence interval -$7816 to -$143, p = 0.042). Cost-effectiveness acceptability curves for vocational outcomes illustrated the high probabilities (approximately 70%) of the CR + SE group being more cost-effective than TVS when society is not willing to pay additional costs. CONCLUSIONS CR + SE appears to be a cost-effective option for people with mental illness who have low cognitive functioning when compared with TVS.

Abstract
The interaction between iron and copper has been discussed in association with human health and diseases for many years. Ceruloplasmin, a multi-copper oxidase, is mainly involved in iron metabolism and its genetic defect, aceruloplasminemia (ACP), shows neurological disorders and diabetes associated with excessive iron accumulation, but little is known about the state of copper in the brain. Here, we investigated localization of these metals in the brains of three patients with ACP using electron microscopes equipped with an energy-dispersive x-ray analyzer. Histochemically, iron deposition was observed mainly in the basal ganglia and dentate nucleus, and to lesser degree in the cerebral cortex of the patients, whereas copper grains were not detected. X-ray microanalysis identified two types of iron-rich particles in their brains: dense bodies, namely hemosiderins, and their aggregated inclusions. A small number of hemosiderins and most inclusions contained a significant amount of copper which was enough for distinct Cu x-ray images. These copper-containing particles were observed more frequently in the putamen and dentate nucleus than the cerebral cortex. Coexistence of iron and copper was supported by good correlations in the molecular ratios between these two metals in iron-rich particles with Cu x-ray image. Iron-dependent copper accumulation in iron-rich particles may suggest that copper recycling is enhanced to meet the increased requirement of cuproproteins in iron overload brain. In conclusion, the iron-rich particles with Cu x-ray image were found in the ACP brain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of allogenic costal cartilage transplantation on preventing bony bridge formation and angular deformities for the treatment of partial growth plate injury using a rabbit model. METHODS An experimental model of partial growth injury was created by resecting the medial part of the proximal tibial growth plate in male six-week-old New Zealand White rabbits. The rabbits were divided into four groups: no surgery; no transplantation; bone wax transplantation; and allogenic costal cartilage transplantation. The angular deformities of the tibia and bony bridge were analysed using radiographs and microcomputed tomography, and the repair of the injured growth plate cartilage and bony bridge formation rate were histologically evaluated. RESULTS On radiographic evaluation, the varus deformities in the costal cartilage group were significantly improved compared with the no transplantation group at four and eight weeks after operation and with the bone wax group at eight weeks after operation. Micro-computed tomography showed that the bony bridge formation was prevented in the bone wax and costal cartilage groups. Histological findings showed that the bony bridge formation in the bone wax and costal cartilage group was decreased. In addition, the growth plate was continuous and stained with safranin O and immunohistochemically stained for type II collagen. CONCLUSION Transplantation of costal cartilage improved angular deformities and decreased bony bridge formation in the partial growth plate injury. Costal cartilage might be a suitable graft for the treatment of growth plate injury.

Abstract
The attribution of stochastic effects to exposure to ionizing radiation has been qualitatively discussed by introducing two distinct concepts of provability and probability. This study aims to develop a method of quantitatively assessing the provability of radiation-related cancers. To this end, the 'minimum provable dose' (MPD) was developed and applied to actual cancer mortality in Japan. The background lifetime risk of cancer mortality was calculated for the esophagus, stomach, colon, liver, lungs, skin, breasts, ovaries, bladder, and bone marrow as well as the age-specific risk coefficients reproducing those given in the 2007 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Comparing the relative ratio of MPDs, which was defined herein as the 'provability index' (PI), we quantitatively ranked radiation-related cancers for different tissues and organs predicated on provability for ages of 10, 30, 50, and 0-85+ years at exposure. We discuss the radiological protection of male emergency workers focusing on cancers highly prioritized according to the ranking (i.e. colon, bone marrow, and bladder). The present study proposed the system to quantitatively evaluate the level of radiological protection taking into account the variations of the background cancer risk on the provability of radiation-related cancers.
