Abstract
Positive ion feedback from a gas amplification device to the drift region of the Time Projection Chamber for the ILC can deteriorate the position resolution. In order to inhibit the feedback ions, MPGD-based gating foils having good electron transmission have been developed to be used instead of the conventional wire gate. The gating foil needs to control the electric field locally in opening or closing the gate. The gating foil with a GEM (gas electron multiplier)-like structure has larger holes and smaller thickness than standard GEMs for gas amplification. It is known that the foil transmits over 80 % of electrons and blocks ions almost completely. We have developed the gating foils using flexible printed circuit (FPC) production techniques including an improved single-mask process. In this paper, we report on the production technique of 335 μm pitch, 12.5 μm thick gating foil with 80 % transmittance of electrons in ILC conditions.

Abstract
C-reactive protein to albumin (CRP/Alb) ratio, a novel inflammation-based prognostic score, was first developed as a prognostic score for septic patients. Recent reports show that CRP/Alb ratio is also a prognostic score for cancer patients, including esophageal cancer. However, the role of CRP/Alb ratio for those with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and the changes of CRP/Alb ratio around NAC have never been discussed. The aim of this study is to evaluate the significance of CRP/Alb ratio around NAC for patients with cStage II/III esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC). A total of 149 patients who were diagnosed as cStage II/III ESCC were enrolled between February 2007 and December 2014. We retrospectively investigated the relation between pre-NAC and post-NAC CRP/Alb ratio and short and long outcomes. The optimal cutoff level for pre-NAC and post-NAC CRP/Alb ratio was 0.030 and 0.048, respectively. There was no relation between CRP/Alb ratio level and postoperative outcomes. Post-NAC CRP/Alb ratio < 0.048 had a significantly higher overall survival rate than CRP/Alb ratio ≥0.048 (P< 0.001). Univariate analysis showed that cT, cN, pre-NAC CRP/Alb ratio < 0.030 and post-NAC CRP/Alb ratio < 0.048 was prognostic factors (P= 0.003, P= 0.022, P= 0.033, and P< 0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that cT and post-NAC CRP/Alb ratio < 0.048 was independent prognostic factors (P= 0.030 and P< 0.001, respectively). Post-NAC CRP/Alb ratio is an independent prognostic factor in patients with cStage II/III ESCC.

Abstract
We report the first evidence for isospin violation in B→K^{*}γ and the first measurement of the difference of CP asymmetries between B^{+}→K^{*+}γ and B^{0}→K^{*0}γ. This analysis is based on the data sample containing 772×10^{6}BB[over ¯] pairs that was collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e^{+}e^{-} collider. We find evidence for the isospin violation with a significance of 3.1σ, Δ_{0+}=[+6.2±1.5(stat)±0.6(syst)±1.2(f_{+-}/f_{00})]%, where the third uncertainty is due to the uncertainty on the fraction of B^{+}B^{-} to B^{0}B[over ¯]^{0} production in ϒ(4S) decays. The measured value is consistent with predictions of the standard model. The result for the difference of CP asymmetries is ΔA_{CP}=[+2.4±2.8(stat)±0.5(syst)]%, consistent with zero. The measured branching fractions and CP asymmetries for charged and neutral B meson decays are the most precise to date. We also calculate the ratio of branching fractions of B^{0}→K^{*0}γ to B_{s}^{0}→ϕγ.

Abstract
The first measurement of transverse-spin-dependent azimuthal asymmetries in the pion-induced Drell-Yan (DY) process is reported. We use the CERN SPS 190 GeV/c π^{-} beam and a transversely polarized ammonia target. Three azimuthal asymmetries giving access to different transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions (PDFs) are extracted using dimuon events with invariant mass between 4.3 GeV/c^{2} and 8.5 GeV/c^{2}. Within the experimental uncertainties, the observed sign of the Sivers asymmetry is found to be consistent with the fundamental prediction of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) that the Sivers TMD PDFs extracted from DY have a sign opposite to the one extracted from semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS) data. We present two other asymmetries originating from the pion Boer-Mulders TMD PDFs convoluted with either the nucleon transversity or pretzelosity TMD PDFs. A recent COMPASS SIDIS measurement was obtained at a hard scale comparable to that of these DY results. This opens the way for possible tests of fundamental QCD universality predictions.

Abstract
The establishment of mechanism-driven peripheral markers is important for translational psychiatry. Many groups, including ours, have addressed molecular alterations in peripheral tissues in association with symptomatic changes in major illnesses. Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BP) through studies of patient peripheral tissues and animal models. Although the relationship between peripheral changes and brain pathology remain elusive, oxidative stress may bridge such translational efforts. Nonetheless, the molecular substrates of oxidative stress are not well defined in mental conditions. Glutathione (GSH) is a non-enzymatic antioxidant that eliminates free radicals, and has been suggested to have a role in SZ. We performed a cross-sectional study of 48 healthy controls (CON), 52 SZ patients and 62 BP patients to compare the levels of peripheral GSH by a biochemical enzyme assay. We show a significant reduction of plasma GSH in both SZ and BP patients compared with CON. We evaluated possible influences of clinical characteristics on the level of GSH in SZ and BP. A decrease in GSH level correlated with Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total and positive scores for SZ and correlated with the PANSS general for BP. Taken together, we provide evidence that SZ and BP display a common molecular signature in the reduction of peripheral GSH in the psychosis dimension.

Abstract
Requirements for a functional hybrid muscular tissue are 1) a high density of multinucleated cells, 2) a high degree of cellular orientation, and 3) the presence of a capillary network in the hybrid tissue. Rod-shaped hybrid muscular tissues composed of C2C12 cells (skeletal muscle myoblast cell line) and type I collagen, which were prepared using the centrifugal cell-packing method reported in our previous article, were implanted into nude mice. The grafts, comprised three hybrid tissues (each dimension, diameter, approximately 0.3 mm, length, approximately 1 mm, respectively), were inserted into the subcutaneous spaces on the backs of nude mice. All nude mice that survived the implantation were sacrificed at 1, 2, and 4 wk after the implantation. The grafts were easily distinguishable from the subcutaneous tissues of host mice with implantation time. The grafts increased in size with time after implantation, and capillary networks were formed in the vicinities and on the surfaces of the grafts. One week after implantation, many capillaries formed in the vicinities of the grafts. In the central portion of the graft, few capillaries and necrotic cells were observed. Mononucleated myoblasts were densely distributed and a low number of multinucleated myotubes were scattered. Two weeks after implantation, the formation of a capillary network was induced, resulting in the surfaces of the grafts being covered by capillaries. Numerous elongated multinucleated myotubes and mononucleated myoblasts were densely distributed and numerous capillaries were observed throughout the grafts. Four weeks after implantation a dense capillary network was formed in the vicinities and on the surfaces of the grafts. In the peripheral portion of the graft, multinucleated myotubes in the vicinities of the rich capillaries were observed. Thus, hybrid muscular tissues in vitro preconstructed was remodeled in vivo, which resulted in facilitating the incorporation of capillary networks into the tissues. © 1998 Elsevier Science Inc.

Abstract
In this study, a tubular hybrid vascular tissue composed of vascular cells and collagen was implanted as a venous substitute, and its remodeling process was histologically investigated. First, a hybrid medial tissue was prepared by pouring a cold mixed solution of canine jugular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and Type I collagen into a tubular glass mold and subsequent incubation at 37°C. Culture in medium for 10 days produced a dense tubular tissue. Seeding of jugular endothelial cells (ECs) onto the luminal surface of the tissue produced a hybrid vascular tissue with a hierarchical structure. These vascular tissues (inner diameter, 7 mm; length, 3 cm; wall thickness, 1 mm; n = 14) were implanted autologously in the canine posterior vena cava wrapped in Dacron mesh for up to 24 wk. Nine of 14 grafts were patent throughout implantation. In patent grafts, monolayered ECs were oriented in the direction of blood flow at 1 wk. Circumferentially oriented SMCs accumulated at the subendothelial layer and ingrown fibroblasts were sparsely distributed throughout the wall at 12 wk. Contractile phenotype of SMCs was evident at 24 wk. Collagen fibrils, which were sparsely distributed at an early period of implantation, gradually assembled to form fibrous meshes at 24 wk. Sheet-like elastic lamellae were also observed at this time. Marked wall thinning was observed at 12 and 24 wk. The resultant tissues became highly dense. The specific gravity of tissues increased with time, and reached those of natural vessels at 24 wk. Tissue remodeling progressed in a time-dependent manner and appeared to be almost complete within 6 mo of implantation.

Abstract
We developed a reliable and quantitative method for measuring the dynamic process of unidirectional two-dimensional (2-D) tissue formation of endothelial cells (ECs) in vitro. The culturing of bovine ECs in an assembled culture chamber provided a square monolayered cell sheet with a linear margin when disassembled at the confluency. The cell sheet maintained in culture showed a unidirectional endothelialization in vitro. The cell population-distance histogram, which was determined from the daily observation of tissue, allowed us to determine quantitatively the dynamic process of unidirectional endothelialization in vitro. The endothelialized distance and the endothelializing zone on a glass slide were found to be nearly 500 μm/day and 750 μm in width, respectively. Thus, the method developed here provided information of the 2-D tissue formation process. This model would be useful as an in vitro model which simulates the anastomotic endothelialization of an artificial vascular graft.

Abstract
We prepared three different types of hybrid muscular tissues in which C2C12 cells (skeletal muscle myoblast cell line) were incorporated in type I collagen gels and then differentiated to myotubes upon culture: a disctype, a polyester mesh-reinforced sheet-type, and a tubular type. A cold mixed solution of the cells and type I collagen was poured into three different types of molds and was kept at 37°C in an incubator to form C2C12 cell-incorporated gels. A polyester mesh was incorporated into a gel to form the sheet-type tissue. The tubular hybrid tissue was prepared by pouring a mixed solution into the interstitial space of a tubular mold consisting of an outer sheath and a mandrel and subsequently culturing after removal of the outer sheath. Hybrid tissues were incubated in a growth medium (20% fetal bovine serum medium) for the first 4 days and then in a differentiation medium (2% horse serum medium) to induce formation of myotubes. Transparent fragile gels shrank with time to form opaque gels, irrespective of type, resulting in the formation of quite dense hybrid tissues. On day 14 of incubation, myoblasts fused and differentiated to form multinucleated myotubes. For a tubular type hybrid tissue, both cells and collagen fiber bundles became circumferentially oriented with incubation time. Periodic mechanical stress loading to a mesh-reinforced hybrid tissue accelerated the cellular orientation along the axis of the stretch. The potential applications for use as living tissue substitutes in damaged and diseased skeletal and cardiac muscle and as vascular grafts are discussed.

Abstract
Our purpose was to evaluate whether or not and when phenotypic modulation of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in hybrid vascular prostheses preincorporated with SMCs occurs upon implantation. Two types of hybrid vascular grafts incorporated with vascular cells derived from canine jugular veins were prepared: grafts containing a collagen gel layer covered with an endothelial monolayer at the luminal surface (Model I graft) and those containing an endothelial monolayer and SMC multilayer (Model II graft). They were bilaterally implanted into carotid arteries of the same dogs from which the cells had been harvested for 2 wk (n = 3) and 12 wk (n = 3). The time-dependent changes in populations of three SMC phenotypes (synthetic, intermediate, and contractile) in the neoarterial layers were quantified by morphometric evaluation using a transmission electron microscope in hybrid vascular grafts. Before implantation, all the SMCs were of the synthetic phenotype. In Model II grafts at 2 wk, synthetic and intermediate SMCs were dominant especially in the luminal layer. On the other hand, neoarterial layers at 12 wk were dominated by contractile SMCs, which were evenly distributed throughout the entire neoarterial tissues. A markedly delayed phenotypic reversion was noted for the Model I grafts at 12 wk. In the hybrid grafts, during about 3 mo of implantation, neoarterial SMCs transformed from the synthetic to the contractile phenotypes, which was promoted by SMC incorporation.

Abstract
We prepared highly dense, highly oriented hybrid muscular tissues that are composed of C2C12 cells (skeletal muscle myoblast cell line) and type I collagen. A cold mixture of C2C12 cells suspended in DMEM and type I collagen solution was poured into capillary tube molds of two different sizes (inner diameters; 0.90 and 0.53 mm, respectively). One end of each mold was sealed. Upon centrifugation (1000 rpm, 5 min) and subsequent thermal gelation, a rod-shaped gel was obtained. It was cultured in an agarose gel-coated dish for 7 days (first for 3 days in a growth medium and then for 4 days in a differentiation medium), during which time it shrank to become a highly dense tissue. Small-diameter rod-shaped, highly dense cellular assemblages with multinucleated myotubes were formed and only few necrotic cells at the core of the tissue were observed. On the other hand, a ring-shaped tissue prepared using a specially devised agarose gel mold was subjected to cyclic stretching at 60 rpm, resulting in the formation of a highly dense, highly oriented hybrid muscular tissue in which both densely accumulated cells and collagen fiber bundles tended to be aligned in the direction of stretching. The hybrid muscular tissues that were prepared using via sequential procedures of a centrifugal cell packing method and a mechanical stress-loading method became closer to native muscular tissues in terms of cell density and orientation.

Abstract
A tubular, hierarchically structured hybrid vascular tissue composed of vascular cells and collagen was prepared. First, a cold mixed solution of bovine aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and Type I collagen was poured into a tubular glass mold composed of a mandrel and a sheath (example of dimensions: inner diameter, 1.5 mm; outer diameter, 7 mm; length, 7 cm). Upon incubation at 37°C, an SMC-incorporated collagenous gel was formed. After the sheath was removed, the resulting fragile tissue, when cultured in medium, thinned in a time-dependent manner to form an opaque, dense tissue. Higher SMC seeding density and lower initial collagen concentration induced more rapid and prominent shrinkage of the tissue. Morphologic investigation showed that over time, bipolarly elongated SMCs and collagen fiber bundles became positioned around the mandrel. Both components became circumferentially oriented. When the mandrel was removed, a tubular hybrid medial tissue was formed. A hybrid vascular tissue with a hierarchical structure was constructed by seeding endothelial cells onto the inner surface of the hybrid medial tissue. Prepared tissues tolerated luminal pressures as great as 100 mmHg and mechanical stress applied during an anastomotic procedure. This method allowed us to prepare a tubular hybrid medial tissue of predetermined size (inner diameter, wail thickness, and length) by selecting appropriate mold design, initial collagen concentration, and SMC seeding density. Such hybrid vascular tissues may provide physiological functions when implanted into the venous system.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the τ lepton polarization P_{τ}(D^{*}) in the decay B[over ¯]→D^{*}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ} as well as a new measurement of the ratio of the branching fractions R(D^{*})=B(B[over ¯]→D^{*}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(B[over ¯]→D^{*}ℓ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{ℓ}), where ℓ^{-} denotes an electron or a muon, and the τ is reconstructed in the modes τ^{-}→π^{-}ν_{τ} and τ^{-}→ρ^{-}ν_{τ}. We use the full data sample of 772×10^{6} BB[over ¯] pairs recorded with the Belle detector at the KEKB electron-positron collider. Our results, P_{τ}(D^{*})=-0.38±0.51(stat)_{-0.16}^{+0.21}(syst) and R(D^{*})=0.270±0.035(stat)_{-0.025}^{+0.028}(syst), are consistent with the theoretical predictions of the standard model.

Abstract
We present a measurement of angular observables and a test of lepton flavor universality in the B→K^{*}ℓ^{+}ℓ^{-} decay, where ℓ is either e or μ. The analysis is performed on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 711 fb^{-1} containing 772×10^{6} BB[over ¯] pairs, collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider KEKB. The result is consistent with standard model (SM) expectations, where the largest discrepancy from a SM prediction is observed in the muon modes with a local significance of 2.6σ.

Abstract
We report the first observation of the radiative charm decay D^{0}→ρ^{0}γ and the first search for CP violation in decays D^{0}→ρ^{0}γ, ϕγ, and K[over ¯]^{*0}(892)γ, using a data sample of 943 fb^{-1} collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The branching fraction is measured to be B(D^{0}→ρ^{0}γ)=(1.77±0.30±0.07)×10^{-5}, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The obtained CP asymmetries A_{CP}(D^{0}→ρ^{0}γ)=+0.056±0.152±0.006, A_{CP}(D^{0}→ϕγ)=-0.094±0.066±0.001, and A_{CP}(D^{0}→K[over ¯]^{*0}γ)=-0.003±0.020±0.000 are consistent with no CP violation. We also present an improved measurement of the branching fractions B(D^{0}→ϕγ)=(2.76±0.19±0.10)×10^{-5} and B(D^{0}→K[over ¯]^{*0}γ)=(4.66±0.21±0.21)×10^{-4}.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Prefrontal dopamine release by the combined activation of 5-HT1A and sigma-1 (σ1 ) receptors is enhanced by the GABAA receptor antagonist picrotoxin in mice. Here, we examined whether this neurochemical event was accompanied by behavioural changes. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Male mice were treated with picrotoxin to decrease GABAA receptor function. Their anhedonic behaviour was measured using the female encounter test. The expression of c-Fos was determined immunohistochemically. KEY RESULTS Picrotoxin caused an anxiogenic effect on three behavioural tests, but it did not affect the immobility time in the forced swim test. Picrotoxin decreased female preference in the female encounter test and attenuated the female encounter-induced increase in c-Fos expression in the nucleus accumbens. Picrotoxin-induced anhedonia was ameliorated by fluvoxamine and S-(+)-fluoxetine, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors with high affinity for the σ1 receptor. The effect of fluvoxamine was blocked by a 5-HT1A or a σ1 receptor antagonist, and co-administration of the σ1 receptor agonist (+)-SKF-10047 and the 5-HT1A receptor agonist osemozotan mimicked the effect of fluvoxamine. By contrast, desipramine, duloxetine and paroxetine, which have little affinity for the σ1 receptor, did not affect picrotoxin-induced anhedonia. The effect of fluvoxamine was blocked by a dopamine D2/3 receptor antagonist. Methylphenidate, an activator of the prefrontal dopamine system, ameliorated picrotoxin-induced anhedonia. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS Picrotoxin-treated mice show anhedonic behaviour that is ameliorated by simultaneous activation of 5-HT1A and σ1 receptors. These findings suggest that the increased prefrontal dopamine release is associated with the anti-anhedonic effect observed in picrotoxin-treated mice.

Abstract
Purpose The diagnostic criteria for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) established by the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM) is able to diagnose DIC accurately and promptly. The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the degree of association between each parameter of JAAM DIC criteria and the diagnosis of trauma induced DIC (T-DIC) utilizing thromboelastometry (ROTEM). Methods Trauma patients transported to our hospital with ROTEM performed in the emergency department between January 2013 and December 2015 were enrolled in this study. We evaluated (1) the characteristics of T-DIC, (2) the relationships between T-DIC and each parameter of the JAAM DIC criteria and (3) the diagnostic accuracies of each parameter for T-DIC by statistical measurement. Results All 72 patients (21 T-DIC and 51 control) were included in primary analysis. T-DIC was significantly related to younger age, more severe trauma scores, more cases of massive transfusions, and remarkable coagulation abnormality detected by standard coagulation tests. In the cases of T-DIC, ROTEM showed longer clotting time, lower acceleration, lower clot firmness, and inhibited fibrinolysis in EXTEM/INTEM. Within the JAAM DIC score, PT-INR ≥1.2 was the most accurate factor for T-DIC diagnosis; sensitivity 60.0%, specificity 100.0%, and accuracy 88.7%. PT-INR ≥1.2 was statistically correlated with the JAAM DIC score (p < 0.001, r = 0.709). The univariate analysis based on 1.2 of PT-INR indicated statistical differences in most categories of ROTEM, which is similar to analysis performed for the presence and absence of T-DIC. Conclusions Among JAAM DIC criteria, the PT-INR ≥1.2 was the most accurate factor for both the diagnosis of T-DIC and the evaluation of its severity.
