Abstract
Transverse momentum spectra of charged hadrons with p(T)<8 GeV/c and neutral pions with p(T)<10 GeV/c have been measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at BNL RHIC in d+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The measured yields are compared to those in p+p collisions at the same sqrt[s(NN)] scaled up by the number of underlying nucleon-nucleon collisions in d+Au. The yield ratio does not show the suppression observed in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Instead, there is a small enhancement in the yield of high momentum particles.

Abstract
Transverse momentum spectra of neutral pions in the range 1<p(T)<10 GeV/c have been measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at BNL RHIC in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The pi(0) multiplicity in central reactions is significantly below the yields measured at the same sqrt[s(NN)] in peripheral Au+Au and p+p reactions scaled by the number of nucleon-nucleon collisions. For the most central bin, the suppression factor is approximately 2.5 at p(T)=2 GeV/c and increases to approximately 4-5 at p(T) approximately 4 GeV/c. At larger p(T), the suppression remains constant within errors. The deficit is already apparent in semiperipheral reactions and increases smoothly with centrality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After laparoscopic surgery (LS), patients show faster recovery of intestinal transit than after conventional open surgery (OS). To prove the mechanism of this advantage, we compared the recovery of intestinal transit using steel carbon balls. METHODS Rats underwent either open laparotomy or were insufflated with carbon dioxide followed by the administration of steel balls (0.6 mm). An abdominal radiograph was taken 12 h after the operation. Compliance of the intestinal walls was analyzed with a computer-driven barostat device. RESULTS An abdominal radiograph of 12 h after administration of the steel carbon balls showed the balls scattered in the small and large intestine of the LS patients, whereas they remained mostly in the stomach of the OS patients. Compliance of the intestinal walls was sustained at approximately 100 microl/mmHg in the LS patients, whereas it dropped to 94 microl/mmHg in the OS patients with the increase in balloon pressure. Histologically, the extent of serosal edema was more severe in the OS than in the LS patients. In terms of intestinal transit and irritation LS has advantage over OS. CONCLUSIONS Intestinal transit recovery, as measured by the migration of steel carbon balls, is faster in LS, and gastric emptying is slow in OS.

Abstract
A subchronic oral toxicity study of annatto extract (norbixin), a natural food color, was conducted. Groups of 10 male and 10 female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed annatto extract at dietary levels of 0, 0.1, 0.3 and 0.9% for 13 weeks. There were no treatment-related adverse effects on body weight, food and water consumption, ophthalmology and hematology data. Blood biochemical analysis revealed changes in rats of both sexes confined to the 0.9% and 0.3% groups, including increased alkaline phosphatase, phospholipid, total protein, albumin and albumin/globulin ratio. Marked elevation in absolute and relative liver weights was also found in both sexes of the 0.9% and 0.3% groups, but not the 0.1% group. Hepatocyte hypertrophy was evident and an additional electron microscopic examination demonstrated this to be linked to abundant mitochondria after exposure to a dietary level of 0.9% annatto extract for 2 weeks. Thus, the No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL) was judged to be a dietary level of 0.1% (69 mg/kg body weight/day for males, 76 mg/kg body weight/day for females) of annatto extract (norbixin) under the present experimental conditions.

Abstract
We investigated various surgical procedure of distal arch aneurysm to propose a safer strategy with less mortality. From January 1998 to March 2001, we operated 10 cases of distal arch aneurysm. Different methods were applied over the years to reach the current improved technique, which is a combination of retro grade general perfusion, median sternotomy, deep hypothermic circulation arrest with selective cerebral perfusion, pharmacological cerebral protection, none touch aortic method, and open distal anastomosis. We have managed to improve postoperative complications, which we experienced many times in the past. We have had no post-operative cerebral accidents, except for 1 case of death by and mesenteric arterial obstruction due to leukemia. In conclusion, our method is safe and feasible and can expect the reduction of post-operative mortality.

Abstract
Two-particle azimuthal correlation functions are presented for charged hadrons produced in Au+Au collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (sqrt [s(NN)]=130 GeV). The measurements permit determination of elliptic flow without event-by-event estimation of the reaction plane. The extracted elliptic flow values (v2) show significant sensitivity to both the collision centrality and the transverse momenta of emitted hadrons, suggesting rapid thermalization and relatively strong velocity fields. When scaled by the eccentricity of the collision zone epsilon, the scaled elliptic flow shows little or no dependence on centrality for charged hadrons with relatively low p(T). A breakdown of this epsilon scaling is observed for charged hadrons with pT >1.0 GeV/c.

Abstract
A 77-year-old female with Stanford B chronic aortic dissection, received elective replacement of descending aorta. The aorta distal to the aneurysm was encircled with a tape, and replaced using the double barrel technique. After the operation, chest X-ray showed effusion on the bilateral side. The amount of milky fluid from drain increased to 2,000 ml per day. The chemical profiles of the fluids were compatible with chylothorax. The Thoracic duct near the diaphragm was closed through left mini-thoracotomy. But the leakage of chyle did not cease. The lymphoscintigraphy showed a leakage to right lower intrathorax near the diaphragm and native aorta. A defect of the thoracic duct was closed, and chylothorax was cured. This case shows that though detailed anatomical structure of thoracic duct is not revealed, lymphoscintigraphy is useful for the localization of leakage in patients with chylothorax of post-cardiovascular-surgery.

Abstract
The charge-exchange reaction 60Ni(13C,13N)60Co at E/A=100 MeV has been studied to locate isovector (deltaT=1) non-spin-flip (deltaS=0) giant resonances. Besides the giant dipole resonance at E(x)=8.7 MeV, another resonance has been observed at E(x)=20 MeV with a width of 9 MeV. Distorted-wave Born approximation analysis on the angular distribution clearly indicated the L=2 multipolarity, attributing the E(x)=20 MeV state to the giant isovector quadrupole resonance.

Abstract
We present results on the measurement of Lambda and Lambda(macro) production in Au+Au collisions at square root of (S (NN) = 130 GeV with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The transverse momentum spectra were measured for minimum bias and for the 5% most central events. The Lambda;/Lambda ratios are constant as a function of p(T) and the number of participants. The measured net Lambda density is significantly larger than predicted by models based on hadronic strings (e.g., HIJING) but in approximate agreement with models which include the gluon-junction mechanism.

Abstract
Data from Au + Au interactions at sqrt[s(NN)]=130 GeV, obtained with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, are used to investigate local net charge fluctuations among particles produced near midrapidity. According to recent suggestions, such fluctuations may carry information from the quark-gluon plasma. This analysis shows that the fluctuations are dominated by a stochastic distribution of particles, but are also sensitive to other effects, like global charge conservation and resonance decays.

Abstract
Identified pi(+/-), K(+/-), p, and (-)p transverse momentum spectra at midrapidity in sqrt[s(NN)] = 130 GeV Au+Au collisions were measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC as a function of collision centrality. Average transverse momenta increase with the number of participating nucleons in a similar way for all particle species. Within errors, all midrapidity particle yields per participant are found to be increasing with the number of participating nucleons. There is an indication that K(+/-), p, and (-)p yields per participant increase faster than the pi(+/-) yields. In central collisions at high transverse momenta (p(T) > or =2 GeV/c), (-)p and p yields are comparable to the pi(+/-) yields.

Abstract
Two-pion correlations in square root[s(NN)] = 130 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC have been measured over a broad range of pair transverse momentum k(T) by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC. The k(T) dependent transverse radii are similar to results from heavy-ion collisions at square root[s(NN)] = 4.1, 4.9, and 17.3 GeV, whereas the longitudinal radius increases monotonically with beam energy. The ratio of the outwards to sidewards transverse radii (R(out)/R(side)) is consistent with unity and independent of k(T).

Abstract
Transverse momentum spectra of electrons from Au+Au collisions at square root[s(NN)] = 130 GeV have been measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The spectra show an excess above the background from photon conversions and light hadron decays. The electron signal is consistent with that expected from semileptonic decays of charm. The yield of the electron signal dN(e)/dy for p(T) > 0.8 GeV/c is 0.025+/-0.004(stat)+/-0.010(syst) in central collisions, and the corresponding charm cross section is 380+/-60(stat)+/-200(syst) microb per binary nucleon-nucleon collision.

Abstract
Transverse momentum spectra for charged hadrons and for neutral pions in the range 1 GeV/c<p(T)<5 GeV/c have been measured by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC in Au+Au collisions at root square[s(NN)] = 130 GeV. At high p(T) the spectra from peripheral nuclear collisions are consistent with scaling the spectra from p+p collisions by the average number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions. The spectra from central collisions are significantly suppressed when compared to the binary-scaled p+p expectation, and also when compared to similarly binary-scaled peripheral collisions, indicating a novel nuclear-medium effect in central nuclear collisions at RHIC energies.

Abstract
We attempted to isolate TDH-producing Vibrio parahaemolyticus O3:K6 from shellfish. Asari samples were incubated with TSB supplemented with 2% (w/v) NaCl for 6 h, and then the 6-h cultures were incubated with salt polymyxin broth for 18 h. After the two-step enrichment, a 1 ml portion of the culture was treated with magnetic beads coated with K6 antibody for immunoconcentration of V. parahaemolyticus O3:K6. The immunoconcentrated and untreated cultures were plated onto a chromogenic agar and TCBS agar media for isolation of V. parahaemolyticus. TDH-producing V. parahaemolyticus O3:K6 was isolated from 3 out of 66 lots (4.5%) of naturally contaminated Asari. Six of 4,265 colonies suspected as V. parahaemolyticus (0.14%) were TDH-producing V. parahaemolyticus O3:K6.

Abstract
To examine the relation between timing and forcc control during finger-tapping sequences by both the 10 pianists and the 13 nonpianists, participants tapped a force plate connected to strain gauges. A series of finger-tapping tasks consisted of 16 combinations of pace and peak force. Analysis showed that pianists had smaller correlation between intertap interval and peak force than nonpianists. Thus, force control was more independent of timing for pianists than for nonpianists.

Abstract
To examine the relation between timing and force control during finger taping sequences by both pianists and nonpianists, participants tapped a force plate connected to strain gauges. A series of finger tapping tasks consisted of 16 combinations of pace (intertap interval: 180, 200, 400, or 800 ms) and peak force (50, 100, 200, or 400 g). Analysis showed that, although movement timing was independent of force control under low or medium pace conditions, there were strong interactions between the 2 parameters under high pace conditions. The results indicate that participants adapted the movement by switching from separately controlling these parameters in the slow and moderate movement to coupling them in the fast movement. While variations in the intertap interval affected force production by nonpianists, they had little effect for pianists. The ratios of time-to-peak force to press duration increased linearly in pianists but varied irregularly in nonpianists, as the required force decreased. Thus, pianists regulate peak force by timing control of peak force to press duration, suggesting that training affects the relationship between the 2 parameters.

Abstract
The first measurement of energy produced transverse to the beam direction at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory is presented. The midrapidity transverse energy density per participating nucleon rises steadily with the number of participants, closely paralleling the rise in charged-particle density, such that <E(T)>/<N(ch)> remains relatively constant as a function of centrality. The energy density calculated via Bjorken's prescription for the 2% most central Au+Au collisions at square root[s(NN)] = 130 GeV is at least epsilon(Bj) = 4.6 GeV/fm(3), which is a factor of 1.6 larger than found at sqrt[s(NN)] = 17.2 GeV ( Pb+Pb at CERN).

Abstract
The effect of the rapid immunostaining of gastrointestinal cancer-associated antigens, CA19-9, CEA, DUPAN2, and CA50 was discussed for intraoperative pathological diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. The method can be completed in only 13 minutes with microwave irradiation to accelerate the incubation of the primary antibody. Only 3 seconds of irradiation at 500 W for fresh-frozen sections produced specific antigen staining of greater intensity than that obtained with longer incubation by the conventional method. Preservation of the tissue structure was satisfactory with minimal nonspecific background staining enabling us to diagnose the intrapancreatic spread of cancer. This method was also applied to intraoperative peritoneal washing cytology. As with frozen section biopsy, the sensitivity of intraoperative cytology is greater than by the conventional staining method, which is able to achieve more precise staging of pancreatic cancers. Our rapid immunoperoxidase staining method on the cryostat section of pancreatic biopsy specimens and on cytology samples provides important information to determine an appropriate operative approach for pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
To evaluate the clinical utility of a new method with dynamic single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and scatter and attenuation compensation to estimate both total and regional liver function quantitatively. Five controls, 20 patients with chronic liver disease, and 2 patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome were studied. Dynamic liver SPECT data were acquired during 20 minutes after injection of Technetium (Tc)-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) galactosyl human serum albumin (GSA) with scatter and attenuation compensation. The binding rate constant of Tc-99m GSA (Ku) was derived quantitatively from the Patlak plot based on kinetic models for GSA receptor binding. The mean Ku was obtained by dividing the Ku value (total Ku) by the liver volume. Both total and mean Ku were significantly lower in patients with chronic liver disease than in controls (302 +/- 112 vs. 523 +/- 78 ml/min; p < 0.001, 0.26 +/- 0.11 vs. 0.43 +/- 0.03 ml/min/cm3; p < 0.001). In the patient group, both total and mean Ku were significantly correlated with the results of conventional liver function tests and the histological severity of chronic liver disease. In 2 patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome, the mean Ku was lower in the right lobe, where the hepatic veins were occluded, than in the left lobe, where draining veins were patent. In conclusion, this method is a reliable diagnostic technique for estimating total and regional liver function.

Abstract
We present results for the charged-particle multiplicity distribution at midrapidity in Au-Au collisions at square root of [s(NN)] = 130 GeV measured with the PHENIX detector at RHIC. For the 5% most central collisions we find dN(ch)/d eta(vertical line eta = 0) = 622+/-1(stat)+/-41(syst). The results, analyzed as a function of centrality, show a steady rise of the particle density per participating nucleon with centrality.

Abstract
Previously, retinoblastoma (Rb) transgenic mice were produced under the control of the Rb gene promoter and showed dwarf characteristics. Here, we created transgenic mice, in which the human Rb gene was controlled by the hepatocyte nuclear factor-1 gene promoter/enhancer and was expressed primarily in the liver. The liver of these novel transgenic mice was normally developed. Intriguingly, these mice showed resistance to fulminant hepatitis induced by anti-Fas antibody as well as resistance to chemical carcinogenesis in the liver. These results show that the Rb protein acts as an anti-apoptotic and anti-oncogenic agent in vivo. Our novel construct may be useful as a gene cassette in gene therapy for prevention of fulminant hepatitis and hepatoma.

Abstract
Glucose uptake is mediated by glucose transporter (Glut) proteins, which exhibit altered expression in a variety of malignant neoplasms. Glut1 expression is thought to be a potential marker for malignant transformation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the expression of Glut1 protein in colorectal adenomas, T1 and T2 stage carcinomas. Immunohistochemical detection of Glut1 protein was examined in 141 formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded colorectal tumour specimens (57 adenomas, 84 carcinomas). The degree of Glut1 immunostaining of a specimen was graded according to the proportion of Glut1-positive cells in it; absent (positive cells are 0%), weakly positive (less than 10%), moderately positive (10-50%), and strongly positive (more than 50%). Glut1 expression was present in 18% of the adenomas with low-grade dysplasia, and in 63% of the adenomas with high-grade dysplasia. The positivity in such lesions was usually weak, but was moderate in 8% of the adenomas with high grade dysplasia. For the carcinomas, there were significant correlations between Glut1-positivity and depth of invasion (T1 45% versus T2 74%, P<0.01), histological differentiation (well 49% versus moderately to poorly 74%, P< 0.05) and morphological type (polypoid 42% versus depressed 73%, P< 0.05), if the cut-off value was set at 10% of cells. In conclusion, we clarified the relationship between Glut1 expression and clinicopathological features in T1 and T2 stage colorectal carcinomas, and our results suggested a high malignant potential of the depressed-type carcinoma.

Abstract
Aragusterol A (YTA0040), isolated from the Okinawan marine sponge of the genus Xestospongia, is a potent anti-tumor marine steroid that possesses a unique structural component. This compound showed broad-spectrum anti-proliferative activity against a panel of 14 human cancer cell lines (IC(50) = 0.01-1.6 microM). P-glycoprotein-mediated, multidrug-resistant cells showed cross-resistance to YTA0040 cells, whereas cisplatin-resistant non-small-cell lung-cancer (NSCLC) sublines showed a collateral sensitivity to YTA0040. In transplantable murine tumor models, YTA0040 displayed a broad spectrum and high degree of anti-tumor activity when administered i.p. or p.o. (life span T/C = 135-234%). In P388 murine leukemia cells, YTA0040 caused dose- and time-dependent suppression of nucleic acid and protein synthesis, with protein synthesis being more potently and rapidly inhibited than nucleic acid synthesis. Flow-cytometric analysis revealed that YTA0040 blocked the entry of human NSCLC-derived A549 cells into S phase, leading to arrest in the G(1) phase of the cell cycle. Western blot analysis demonstrated that YTA0040 caused a dose-dependent decrease in the levels of expression of hyperphosphorylated pRb and cyclin A in A549 cells. The level of p53 protein expression was decreased by YTA0040 treatment. A higher concentration of YTA0040 down-regulated the levels of expression of CDK2, CDK4, cyclin D1 and cyclin E. These findings indicated that YTA0040 arrested human NSCLC cells in late G(1) phase of the cell cycle through inhibition of pRb phosphorylation. Inhibition of pRb phosphorylation by YTA0040 resulted from down-regulation of levels of expression of the CDKs and cyclins involved in the G(1)/S transition and not from induction of p53 and/or the CDK inhibitor p21.
