Abstract
Patients with adult growth hormone deficiency exhibit visceral fat accumulation, which gives rise to a cluster of metabolic disorders such as impaired glucose tolerance and dyslipidemia. Plasma growth hormone levels are lower in obese patients with metabolic syndrome than in healthy subjects. Here we examined the hypothesis that exogenous growth hormone administration regulates function of adipose tissue to improve glucose tolerance in diet-induced obese mice. Twelve-week-old obese male C57BL/6 J mice received bovine growth hormone daily for 6 weeks. In epididymal fat, growth hormone treatment antagonized diet-induced changes in the gene expression of adiponectin, leptin, and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, and significantly increased the gene expression of interleukin-10 and CD206. Growth hormone also suppressed the accumulation of oxidative stress marker, thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, in the epididymal fat and enhanced the gene expression of anti-oxidant enzymes. Moreover, growth hormone significantly restored glucose tolerance in obese mice. In cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes, growth hormone prevented the decline in adiponectin gene expression in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. These results suggest that growth hormone administration ameliorates glucose intolerance in obese mice presumably by decreasing adipose mass, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation in the visceral fat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a life-threatening complication of organ transplantation that results from immunosuppression therapy. Most cases of PTLD derive from the B-cell lineage. T-cell PTLD, particularly natural killer (NK)/T-cell PTLD, is quite rare; only a few cases have been described. CASE REPORT A 42-year-old woman received a living-related renal allograft from her father. Sixteen years after transplantation, the patient presented with a 1-week history of low-grade fever and epigastralgia. Computed tomography revealed intestinal masses and a right upper lung lobe mass. Gallium scintigraphy showed uptake in the abdominal mass. Epstein-Barr virus-related antibody was not detected in the patient's serum sample. We performed extirpation of the jejunum and ileum tumors. The pathologic findings showed that these 2 tumors were NK/T-cell lymphoma. After the operation, the lung mass rapidly enlarged, and right upper lobectomy was performed. The right upper lung lobe tumor showed the same histopathologic findings as the small bowel tumor. The final histologic diagnosis was established as multiple extranodal NK/T cell type PTLD of the small bowel and right upper lung lobe. CONCLUSIONS After reduction of the immunosuppressive agent, no recurrence of PTLD has been observed for the past 9 years.

Abstract
Multicentric squamous dysplasia of the esophagus is characterized by multiple Lugol-voiding lesions (LVLs) on Lugol chromoendoscopy. Multiple LVLs are associated with a very high risk of multiple cancers arising in the esophagus as well as the head and neck. To gain insight into the pathogenesis of multiple LVLs of the esophageal mucosa, we studied risk factors for the development of such lesions in 76 patients who had a current or previous diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. All patients underwent Lugol chromoendoscopy of the esophageal mucosa. The history of tobacco and alcohol use was documented. Polymorphisms of the aldehyde dehydrogenase type 2 (ALDH2) gene were identified by polymerase chain reaction using sequence-specific primers. Clinical factors related to multiple LVLs were analyzed. All patients with multiple LVLs were drinkers. On univariate analysis, male sex (odds ratio [OR] 15, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.84-122.45: P = 0.011), presence of the ALDH2-2 allele (OR 4.5, 95% CI 1.55-13.24: P = 0.006), and smoking index ≥1000 (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.02-6.6: P = 0.045) were associated with multiple LVLs. On multivariate analysis, male sex (OR 10.02, 95% CI 1.13-88.44: P = 0.038) and presence of the ALDH2-2 allele (OR 4.56, 95% CI 1.4-14.82: P = 0.012) were associated with multiple LVLs. Among drinkers, a daily alcohol intake of ≥100 g pure ethanol with the ALDH2-2 allele (OR 17.5, 95% CI 1.97-155.59: P = 0.01) and a daily alcohol intake of <100 g pure ethanol with the ALDH2-2 allele (OR 8.85, 95% CI 1.68-46.69: P = 0.01) more strongly correlated with multiple LVLs than did a daily alcohol intake of <100 g pure ethanol without the ALDH2-2 allele, whereas a daily alcohol intake of ≥100 g pure ethanol without the ALDH2-2 allele (OR 4.0, 95% CI 0.54-29.81: P = 0.18) did not. In conclusion, male sex and the ALDH2-2 allele are associated with an increased risk for multiple LVLs of the esophageal mucosa in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Among drinkers with the ALDH2-2 allele, the risk of multiple LVLs increased in parallel to the daily alcohol intake.

Abstract
The abundance ratios of 234U, 235U, 236U and 238U were determined by mass spectrometry on uranium samples obtained from a chromatographic uranium enrichment process based on the U(IV) - U(VI) chemical exchange reaction. According to standard theory, the elementary isotope effect in processes based on equilibrium chemical exchange is proportional to the mass difference of the isotopes. In the present work this has been confirmed for 234U, 236U and 238U. However, according to the observed data the fractionation between 234U and 235U is much smaller than the one between 235U and 236U in spite of the same mass difference in either isotopic pair. The anomaly of the fractionation is concluded to be due to the characteristics of 235U, which is the only odd mass number isotope in the present system.

Abstract
High intensity laser-plasma interaction has attracted considerable interest for a number of years. The laser-plasma interaction is accompanied by generation of various charged particle beams, such as high-energy proton and ions with high charge to mass ratio (Q/M; same as multi-charged ions). Results of simultaneous novel measurements of electron-induced photonuclear neutrons (photoneutron), which are a diagnostic of the laser-plasma interaction, are proposed to use for optimization of the laser-plasma ion generation. The proposed method is demonstrated by the laser irradiation with the intensity of 1 × 10(21) W/cm(2) on the metal foil target. The photoneutrons are measured by using NE213 liquid scintillation detectors. Heavy-ion signal is registered with the CR-39 track detector simultaneously. The measured signals of the electron-induced photoneutrons are well reproduced by using the Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System. The results obtained provide useful approach for analyzing the various laser based ion beams.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mizoribine (MZR) at 3 mg/kg/d shows less potent immunosuppressive effects, but high-dose MZR (6 mg/kg/d) was effective and safe in a 2-year study in conjunction with a regimen of cyclosporine (CsA), basiliximab, and corticosteroids. METHODS We compared 40 living-related kidney recipients administered MZR (6 mg/kg/d), CsA (7 mg/kg/d), prednisolone (maintenance dose 10 mg/d), and basiliximab (20 mg/body) with control group (n = 38) treated with CsA, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF; 25 mg/kg/d), basiliximab, and corticosteroids. RESULTS The 4-year graft survival rates for the MZR vs MMF groups were 92.5% vs 94.7%, respectively, with serum creatinine levels of 1.66 ± 1.0 mg/dL vs 1.41 ± 0.42 mg/dL at 3 years, and 1.72 ± 1.16 mg/dL vs 1.56 ± 1.26 mg/dL at 4 years. There was no significant difference in serum creatinine levels between the 2 groups. The MZR group demonstrated a significantly higher rate of elevated serum uric acid values (29.7%). The numbers of patients treated with allopurinol at 4 years were 11/37 (29.7%) for MZR vs 2/36 (5.6%) for the MMF subjects (P < .05). Mean serum uric acid levels of the MZR vs MMF group at 4 years were 7.1 ± 1.9 mg/dL vs 7.0 ± 1.6 mg/dL, respectively (NS). There was no significant difference between the 2 groups regarding bone marrow suppression or liver dysfunction. Severe cytomegalovirus infection was not observed at 3 and 4 years in either group. There were no severe gastrointestinal symptoms among the MZR or the MMF group at 3 or 4 years. CONCLUSIONS The combination of high-dose MZR with CsA, basiliximab, and corticosteroids displayed excellent results over a 4-year follow-up.

Abstract
A 43-year-old Tibetan woman living in northwest Sichuan, China, confirmed to be a taeniasis carrier of Taenia solium was treated with pumpkin seeds combined with Areca nut extract in October 2009. All 20 tapeworms except one without scolex were expelled under good conditions. She was free of secondary cysticercosis within one year follow up. Although the first choice for treatment of taeniasis is still praziquantel, it may often cause serious side effect on asymptomatic cysticercosis cases to suddenly become symptomatic within a half day of the treatment. Therefore, the problems in treatment of taeniasis and/or cysticercosis in Asia are briefly overviewed, since other platyhelminthic diseases including schistosomiasis, opisthorchiasis etc. are more common and praziquantel is strongly recommended for mass treatment of these trematodiases with no idea on the co-infection with eggs of T. solium which cause asymptomatic cysticercosis.

Abstract
In order to prepare a porous three-dimensional (3-D) structure in biodegradable polyester materials we have conducted the enzymatic degradation of a poly(L-lactide) (PLLA)-based nano-composite foam, having a nanocellular structure, using proteinase-K as a degrading agent at 37°C. The surface and cross sectional morphologies of the foam recovered after enzymatic hydrolysis for different intervals were investigated by using a scanning electron microscope. The nanocellular material took up a large amount of water, which led to the swelling of the foam due to the large surface area inside the nanocelluar structure, and facilitated the enzymatic degradation of the PLLA matrix as compared with the bulk (pre-foamed) sample. Consequently, we have successfully prepared a porous 3-D structure as a remaining scaffold in the core part of the nano-composite foam, reflecting the spherulites of the crystallized PLLA.

Abstract
The submandibular and parotid glands are the main sources of immunoglobulins A (IgAs) in human and rat saliva. These glands express the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR), which transports IgAs into saliva. The main source of IgAs in saliva and pIgR expression in salivary glands has not been well documented in cattle. Expressions of pIgR were determined in the major bovine salivary glands (sublingual, submandibular, and parotid) by RT-PCR for mRNA and by Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry (IHC) using an anti-human pIgR antibody for protein. The protein detected with the antibody was identified by nano-liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry. Additionally, the distribution of Ig-producing plasma cells was analyzed by IHC. RT-PCR showed that pIgR was expressed in the sublingual and submandibular glands, but not in the parotid gland. Higher protein levels were observed in sublingual glands than in submandibular glands by Western blot. By IHC, pIgR was mainly located on the apical side of the cytoplasmic membrane in the sublingual gland, whereas it was observed only on the basal side in the submandibular gland. The highest density of plasma cells expressing IgAs was observed in the sublingual gland. These results suggest that the sublingual gland plays an important role in first-line defence of the oral cavity in cattle in contrast to humans and rats.
