Abstract
Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which possess self-renewing properties and multipotency, into a periodontal defect is thought to be a useful option for periodontal tissue regeneration. However, developing more reliable and predictable implantation techniques is still needed. Recently, we generated clumps of an MSC/extracellular matrix (ECM) complex (C-MSC), which consisted of cells and self-produced ECM. C-MSCs can regulate their cellular functions in vitro and can be grafted into a defect site, without any artificial scaffold, to induce bone regeneration. Accordingly, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of C-MSC transplantation on periodontal tissue regeneration in beagle dogs. Seven beagle dogs were employed to generate a premolar class III furcation defect model. MSCs isolated from dog ilium were seeded at a density of 7.0 × 104 cells/well into 24-well plates and cultured in growth medium supplemented with 50 µg/mL ascorbic acid for 4 d. To obtain C-MSCs, confluent cells were scratched using a micropipette tip and were then torn off as a cellular sheet. The sheet was rolled up to make round clumps of cells. C-MSCs were maintained in growth medium or osteoinductive medium (OIM) for 5 or 10 d. The biological properties of C-MSCs were evaluated in vitro, and their periodontal tissue regenerative activity was tested by using a dog class III furcation defect model. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that type I collagen fabricated the form of C-MSCs. OIM markedly elevated calcium deposition in C-MSCs at day 10, suggesting its osteogenic differentiation capacity. Both C-MSCs and C-MSCs cultured with OIM transplantation without an artificial scaffold into the dog furcation defect induced periodontal tissue regeneration successfully compared with no graft, whereas osteogenic-differentiated C-MSCs led to rapid alveolar bone regeneration. These findings suggested that the use of C-MSCs refined by self-produced ECM may represent a novel predictable periodontal tissue regenerative therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction:
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become a standard procedure for axillary lymph node evaluation in clinically node-negative breast cancer patients. Recent trial suggested that patients with 1or 2 sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) involvement could be treated with SLNB alone.
Although SLNB is much less invasive procedure comparing with axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), it is still associated with complications such as lymph edema, numbness and pain.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) against cancer is a non-invasive optical therapeutic method in which the topical or systemic delivery of photosensitizing drugs is followed by its subsequent activation with broadband red light.
In this study, the usefulness of PDT for treating SLN metastasis was evaluated in murine model.
Materials and Methods:
Verteporfin, a hydrophobic photosensitizer (PS) forms a soluble conjugate in aqueous medium with a water-soluble and amphiphilic PMB polymer as a solubilizer. The PMB forms stable and well-dispersed molecular aggregate when its concentration is over 1.0 mg/mL based on the hydrophobic interactions among polymer chains. The verteporfin can form conjugate (PMB-vertepoffin) with hydrophobic domain in the PMB aggregate. The PMB-verteporfin was injected at dorsum manus of BALB/c nude mice. The concentrations of verteporfin in tissues were determined by measuring the fluorescence emitted at 700 nm (with excitation at 430 nm). To develop a murine SLN metastasis model, 5 x 105 human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells with stable expression of GFP were injected to the forearm of BALB/c nude mice. Seven days after inoculation of cancer cells, 20 μL of PMB-verteporfin was injected at dorsum manus of BALB/c nude mice and 75 J of light energy was delivered using a 640 nm diode laser for a total treatment time of 1 min. Fifty-three mice were randomly assigned to the combination of PMB-verteporfin injection and light exposure (A), light exposure alone (B), PMB-verteporfin injection alone (C), and no treatment (D) groups. Ten days after PDT, brachial lymph nodes, which were considered as SLNs were harvested and evaluated by stereoscopic fluorescence microscope. And, DNA was extracted from harvested lymph node. Human Alu family sequence was detected by 7300 Real Time PCR system (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad CA USA) to estimate metastatic volume.
Results:
The concentration of verteporfin in SLN was siginificantly higher than other organs including lung, liver, kidney and brachial skin.
The group A significantly reduced the SLN metastasis (13%) comparing with , group B (57%), group C (46%) and group D (52%).
The Ct value in a PCR of the combination of group A (Ct=29.17) significantly reduced the SLN metastasis comparing with group B (Ct=22.45, p=0.018), group C (Ct=25.58, p=0.018) and group D (Ct=25.54, p=0.005).
Conclusions:
These data suggested that PDT using PMB as a nanotransporter of verteporfin could be a minimally invasive treatment of SLN metastasis in breast cancer, and represent a potential alternative procedure to SLNB.

Abstract
Dendritic cell-specific transmembrane protein (DC-STAMP) plays a key role in the induction of osteoclast (OC) cell fusion, as well as DC-mediated immune regulation. While DC-STAMP gene expression is upregulated in the gingival tissue with periodontitis, its pathophysiological roles in periodontitis remain unclear. To evaluate the effects of DC-STAMP in periodontitis, anti-DC-STAMP-monoclonal antibody (mAb) was tested in a mouse model of ligature-induced periodontitis ( n = 6-7/group) where Pasteurella pneumotropica ( Pp)-reactive immune response activated T cells to produce receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), which, in turn, promotes the periodontal bone loss via upregulation of osteoclastogenesis. DC-STAMP was expressed on the cell surface of mature multinuclear OCs, as well as immature mononuclear OCs, in primary cultures of RANKL-stimulated bone marrow cells. Anti-DC-STAMP-mAb suppressed the emergence of large, but not small, multinuclear OCs, suggesting that DC-STAMP is engaged in the late stage of cell fusion. Anti-DC-STAMP-mAb also inhibited pit formation caused by RANKL-stimulated bone marrow cells. Attachment of ligature to a second maxillary molar induced DC-STAMP messenger RNA and protein, along with elevated tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive (TRAP+) OCs and alveolar bone loss. As we expected, systemic administration of anti-DC-STAMP-mAb downregulated the ligature-induced alveolar bone loss. Importantly, local injection of anti-DC-STAMP-mAb also suppressed alveolar bone loss and reduced the total number of multinucleated TRAP+ cells in mice that received ligature attachment. Attachment of ligature induced significantly elevated tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and RANKL in the gingival tissue compared with the control site without ligature ( P < 0.05), which was unaffected by local injection with either anti-DC-STAMP-mAb or control-mAb. Neither in vivo anti- Pp IgG antibody nor in vitro anti- Pp T-cell response and resultant production of RANKL was affected by anti-DC-STAMP-mAb. This study illustrated the roles of DC-STAMP in promoting local OC cell fusion without affecting adaptive immune responses to oral bacteria. Therefore, it is plausible that a novel therapeutic regimen targeting DC-STAMP could suppress periodontal bone loss.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and chemoradiotherapy have been shown to extend postoperative survival, and preoperative therapy followed by esophagectomy has become the standard treatment worldwide for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The Japan Clinical Oncology Group 9907 study showed that NAC significantly extended survival in advanced ESCC, but the survival benefit for patients with clinical stage III disease remains to be elucidated. We compared the survival rates of NAC and upfront surgery in patients with clinical stage III ESCC. Consecutive patients histologically diagnosed as clinical stage III (excluding cT4) ESCC were eligible for this retrospective study. Between September 2002 and April 2007, upfront transthoracic esophagectomy was performed initially and, for patients with positive lymph node (LN) metastasis in a resected specimen, adjuvant chemotherapy using cisplatin and 5-fluororouracil every 3 weeks for two cycles was administered (Upfront surgery group). Since May 2007, a NAC regimen used as adjuvant chemotherapy followed by transthoracic esophagectomy has been administered as the standard treatment in our institution (NAC group). Patient characteristics, clinicopathological factors, treatment outcomes, post-treatment recurrence, and overall survival (OS) were compared between the NAC and upfront surgery groups. Fifty-one and 55 patients were included in the NAC and upfront surgery groups, respectively. The R0 resection rate was significantly lower in the NAC group than in the upfront surgery group (upfront surgery, 98%; NAC, 76%; P = 0.003). In the upfront surgery group, of 49 patients who underwent R0 resection and pathologically positive for LN metastasis, 22 (45%) received adjuvant chemotherapy. In the NAC group, 49 (96%) of 51 patients completed two cycles of NAC. In survival analysis, no significant difference in OS was observed between the NAC and upfront surgery groups (NAC: 5-year OS, 43.8%; upfront surgery: 5-year overall surgery, 57.5%; P = 0.167). Patients who underwent R0 resection showed significantly longer OS than did those who underwent R1, R2, or no resection (P = 0.001). In multivariate analysis using age, perioperative chemotherapy, depth of invasion, LN metastasis, surgical radicality, postoperative pneumonia, and anastomotic leakage as covariates, LN metastasis [cN2: hazard ratio (HR), 1.389; P = 0.309; cN3: HR, 16.019; P = 0.012] and surgical radicality (R1: HR, 3.949; P = 0.009; R2 or no resection: HR, 2.912; P = 0.022) were shown to be significant independent prognostic factors. In clinical stage III ESCC patients, no significant difference in OS was observed between NAC and upfront surgery. Although potential patient selection bias might be a factor in this retrospective analysis, the noncurative resection rate was higher after NAC than after upfront surgery. The survival benefit of more intensive NAC needs to be further evaluated.

Abstract
Here we describe the development of a single fluorescent protein (FP)-based cGMP indicator, Green cGull, based on the cGMP binding domain from mouse phosphodiesterase 5α. The dynamic range of Green cGull was enhanced to a 7.5-fold fluorescence change upon cGMP binding by optimization of the amino acid linkers between the cGMP binding domain and FP. Green cGull has excitation and emission peaks at 498 and 522 nm, respectively, and specifically responds to cGMP in a dose-dependent manner. Live cell imaging analysis revealed that addition of a nitric oxide (NO) donor induced different cGMP kinetics and was cell-type dependent. We also found that the NO donor induced an increase of intracellular cGMP, while intracellular Ca2+ exhibited a complex profile, as revealed by dual-color imaging of cGMP and Ca2+. The results suggest that Green cGull sheds new light on understanding the complex interactions between various signaling molecules by multicolor imaging and that our systematic strategy for expanding the dynamic range of single-FP-based indicators is valuable to generate indicators for molecules of interest.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Little biomechanical information is available about kinematically aligned (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to simulate the kinematics and kinetics after KA TKA and mechanically aligned (MA) TKA with four different limb alignments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bone models were constructed from one volunteer (normal) and three patients with three different knee deformities (slight, moderate and severe varus). A dynamic musculoskeletal modelling system was used to analyse the kinematics and the tibiofemoral contact force. The contact stress on the tibial insert, and the stress to the resection surface and medial tibial cortex were examined by using finite element analysis. RESULTS In all bone models, posterior translation on the lateral side and external rotation in the KA TKA models were greater than in the MA TKA models. The tibiofemoral force at the medial side was increased in the moderate and severe varus models with KA TKA. In the severe varus model with KA TKA, the contact stress on the tibial insert and the stress to the resection surface and to the medial tibial cortex were increased by 41.5%, 32.2% and 53.7%, respectively, compared with MA TKA, and the bone strain at the medial side was highest among all models. CONCLUSION Near normal kinematics was observed in KA TKA. However, KA TKA increased the contact force, stress and bone strain at the medial side for moderate and severe varus knee models. The application of KA TKA for severe varus knees may be inadequate.Cite this article: S. Nakamura, Y. Tian, Y. Tanaka, S. Kuriyama, H. Ito, M. Furu, S. Matsuda.

Abstract
We present an improved search for neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay of ^{136}Xe in the KamLAND-Zen experiment. Owing to purification of the xenon-loaded liquid scintillator, we achieved a significant reduction of the ^{110m}Ag contaminant identified in previous searches. Combining the results from the first and second phase, we obtain a lower limit for the 0νββ decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0ν}>1.07×10^{26} yr at 90% C.L., an almost sixfold improvement over previous limits. Using commonly adopted nuclear matrix element calculations, the corresponding upper limits on the effective Majorana neutrino mass are in the range 61-165 meV. For the most optimistic nuclear matrix elements, this limit reaches the bottom of the quasidegenerate neutrino mass region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insufficient information is available on the relationship between obesity and outcome of paediatric patients with acute pancreatitis. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effect of obesity on outcomes of paediatric patients with acute pancreatitis based on a national administrative database. METHODS A total of 500 cases in 416 paediatric patients with acute pancreatitis (aged 5-17 years) were referred from 260 hospitals between 2010 and 2012 in Japan. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of obesity: with obesity (n = 65) and without obesity (n = 435). Patient data were collected from the administrative database to compare the prevalence of severe acute pancreatitis, in-hospital mortality, length of stay (LOS) and medical costs between the groups. RESULTS Both prevalence of severe acute pancreatitis and in-hospital mortality were significantly higher in paediatric patients with obesity than those without (36.9% vs. 16.3% and 3.1% vs. 0.0%; P < 0.001, respectively). Longer LOS and higher medical costs were also observed in paediatric patients with obesity (25.7 vs. 15.2 days, P < 0.001 and 14 169.5 vs. 7457.7 US dollars, P < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that obesity significantly influenced the outcomes of paediatric acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although tight control of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been achieved through the development of effective medication, surgical intervention is still required for a certain subpopulation of patients. To examine the systemic effects of orthopaedic surgery, we evaluated improvements in disease activity, daily function, and medication after surgery. METHOD A prospective cohort study was conducted in 196 cases of elective orthopaedic surgery in 150 patients with RA from January 2011 to March 2014 in our institution. The 28-joint count Disease Activity Score based on erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) and modified Health Assessment Questionnaire (mHAQ) scores just before surgery and at 6 and 12 months after surgery were examined prospectively. Concomitant medications were also investigated. RESULTS Significant improvement was seen in the DAS28-ESR and mHAQ scores for replacement surgery in both the upper and lower extremities, and for arthroplasty/arthrodesis in the upper extremities at the 12-month follow-up. Partial mHAQ scores for the lower extremities were significantly reduced in lower replacement surgery, and partial mHAQ scores for the upper extremities were significantly reduced in upper arthroplasty/arthrodesis surgery. Although the use of conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) did not decrease after surgery, the dose of prednisolone (PSL) decreased significantly at 12 months after surgery, especially in the well-controlled group and in surgical procedures in the lower extremities. CONCLUSIONS Elective orthopaedic surgery improves both systemic disease activity and general functional impairment. Orthopaedic surgery is effective in reducing the amount of medication required postoperatively.

Periarticular osteoporosis of the forearm correlated with joint destruction and functional impairment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoporos Int 2016; 27:691-701.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The relationship between periarticular osteoporosis in the distal forearm and joint destruction or functional impairment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is not sufficiently elucidated. From a single institutional cohort study, we found a strong correlation between periarticular forearm bone mineral density (BMD) and joint destruction or functional impairment. INTRODUCTION This study was conducted to investigate (1) the difference between various periarticular regions of interest (ROIs) of BMD of the forearm, (2) the correlation between periarticular forearm BMD and joint destruction and physical function, (3) the independent variables for predicting BMD of the forearm, and (4) the forearm BMD of different ROIs in the early stage of RA. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study in an RA cohort. Measurements included BMD of the distal forearm, joint destruction of the hands assessed by modified total Sharp score (mTSS), functional impairment assessed by a health assessment questionnaire (HAQ), and other clinical data. Variables affecting the forearm BMD values were analyzed by correlation and stepwise regression analyses. RESULTS Of the 405 patients enrolled in the present study, 370 (average age; 62.9 years) were identified as having definite RA with a complete set of data. BMD in the distal end of the forearm (BMDud) was significantly reduced compared with that in the distal third of the forearm (BMD1/3). In a stepwise regression analysis, the mTSS in BMD1/3 was an independent predicting variable, while age and partial HAQ scores associated with the upper extremity were common independent variables in BMDud and BMD1/3. BMDud was significantly less than BMD1/3, even in patients with a short duration of the disease. BMD1/3 was significantly less in non-remission group compared with that in remission group in patients with a short duration of the disease. CONCLUSION Periarticular BMD in the distal forearm is closely correlated with joint destruction and functional impairment in RA. Periarticular BMD in the distal forearm may be already reduced at the clinical manifestation of the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The expression levels of cytochrome P450 (CYP) in the liver were analyzed over time in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis mouse model, from the initial active stage to the remission stage, to investigate the relationship between the changes in pathological conditions and CYP expression levels. METHODS DSS solution was given to mice for 10 days, after which water without DSS was provided for 40 days. Pathological conditions and CYP expression levels were examined over time. The mechanism for variation in CYP expression was also analyzed. RESULTS The mRNA expression levels of CYP (CYP3A11, CYP1A2, CYP2C29, CYP2D9, and CYP2E1) decreased as pathological conditions worsened and reached their lowest levels on day 10 of DSS treatment. Pathological conditions improved following the discontinuation of DSS, and CYP expression levels normalized by day 50. Blood lipopolysaccharide levels, the hepatic expression of inflammatory cytokines, and the nuclear translocation of pregnane X receptor and constitutive androstane receptor in the liver exhibited patterns similar to the observed variations in CYP expression levels. CONCLUSION The capacity for metabolizing drugs that are substrates of CYP decreases during the active stage of ulcerative colitis but subsequently improves during the remission stage. This decrease in CYP expression was likely caused by the observed reduction in the levels of nuclearly localized pregnane X receptor and constitutive androstane receptor, and the increase in the production of inflammatory cytokines triggered by lipopolysaccharides.
