Abstract
A RANK ligand-specific inhibitor, denosumab, was predicted to reduce osteolysis and control disease progression in patients with giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). We report, for the first time, the results of the response of GCTB to denosumab obtained from a prospective independent imaging assessment. The findings demonstrate that denosumab has robust clinical efficacy in the treatment of GCTB. Background Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a rare primary bone tumor, characterized by osteoclast-like giant cells that express receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK), and stromal cells that express RANK ligand (RANKL), a key mediator of osteoclast activation. A RANKL-specific inhibitor, denosumab, was predicted to reduce osteolysis and control disease progression in patients with GCTB. Patients and methods Seventeen patients with GCTB were enrolled. Patients were treated with denosumab at 120 mg every 4 weeks, with a loading dose of 120 mg on days 8 and 15. To evaluate efficacy, objective tumor response was evaluated prospectively by an independent imaging facility on the basis of prespecified criteria. Results The proportion of patients with an objective tumor response was 88% based on best response using any tumor response criteria. The proportion of patients with an objective tumor response using individual response criteria was 35% based on the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, 82% based on the modified European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) criteria, and 71% based on inverse Choi criteria. The median time of study treatment was 13.1 months. Conclusion The findings demonstrate that denosumab has robust clinical efficacy in the treatment of GCTB.

Abstract
Movement dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) is caused by the degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Here, we established a method for voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and automatic tissue segmentation of the marmoset monkey brain using a 7-T animal scanner and applied the method to assess DA degeneration in a PD model, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-treated animals, with tyrosine-hydroxylase staining. The most significant decreases of local tissue volume were detected in the bilateral SN of MPTP-treated marmoset brains (-53.0% in right and -46.5% in left) and corresponded with the location of DA neurodegeneration found in histology (-65.4% in right). In addition to the SN, the decreases were also confirmed in the locus coeruleus, and lateral hypothalamus. VBM using 7-T MRI was effective in detecting volume loss in the SN of the PD-model marmoset. This study provides a potential basis for the application of VBM with ultra-high field MRI in the clinical diagnosis of PD. The developed method may also offer value in automatic whole-brain evaluation of structural changes for the marmoset monkey.

Abstract
As a marker for bone formation, bone Gla protein (BGP) levels in the circulation have been measured in clinical research and management for metabolic bone diseases. We evaluated the clinical availability of a newly developed two-site immunoradiometric assay (IRMA) for human BGP and determined the serum BGP concentrations using this methodology in patients with abnormal calcium metabolism including those with end-stage renal disease undergoing maintenance dialysis. A cross-reactivity test revealed that this assay system specifically recognizes intact molecules (1-49) of BGP and excludes fragments of the molecules (1-19, 12-33, 23-33). Serum BGP levels in dialysis patients were positively correlated with those by conventional radioimmunoassay (RIA) (r = 0.918, p less than 0.00001, n = 37) as well as normal individuals (r = 0.935, p less than 0.0001, n = 16). However, the levels of BGP determined by IRMA were estimated to be significantly lower than those by RIA (23.6 +/- 9.8 vs. 29.6 +/- 9.1 ng/ml, p less than 0.00001). These results suggest that this IRMA system, with a rapid and easy procedure, excludes fragment forms of BGP in the circulation, which are found in uremic sera and probably attributed to increased bone resorption. Further studies are needed to ensure that serum intact BGP levels mainly reflect BGP production in osteoblasts, particularly in end-stage renal disease.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Combined treatment with alendronate and eldecalcitol was found to be more effective in reducing the bone turnover markers and increasing bone mineral density than alendronate treatment with vitamin D3 and calcium supplementation in the osteoporotic patients. INTRODUCTION We compared the clinical efficacy and safety of combined treatment with alendronate plus eldecalcitol (ALN + ELD) with those of treatment with ALN plus vitamin D and calcium (ALN + VitD). METHODS Osteoporotic 219 patients were randomly assigned to the ALN + ELD, or the ALN + VitD group. Primary endpoint was the inter-group differences in lumbar spine BMD (L-BMD) at patient's last visit. Secondary endpoints included the differences in BMD at other sites and the bone turnover marker (BTM) levels. RESULTS L-BMD, total hip BMD and femoral neck (FN-BMD) increased from baseline by 7.30, 2.41, and 2.70 % in the ALN + ELD group, and by 6.52, 2.27, and 1.18% in the ALN + VitD group, respectively. Inter-group differences of the L-BMD and total hip BMD values were not significant. The increase of the FN-BMD was larger in the ALN + ELD group than the ALN + VitD group. Reductions of the BTMs were greater in the ALN + ELD group than the ALN + VitD group. Interaction of the percent increase of the L-BMD with the baseline values of the BTMs was observed in the ALN + VitD group only. The increases of the FN-BMD in patients with lower baseline values of type-I-collagen C-telopeptide (sCTX) and serum 25(OH) D levels <20 ng/mL were significantly larger in the ALN + ELD group than the other group. CONCLUSION Combination treatment of ALN plus ELD was more effective in reducing the BTMs and increasing the FN-BMD than ALN treatment with vitamin D3 and calcium.

Abstract
An LC-MS/MS method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 15 water-soluble vitamins that are widely used as additives in beverages and dietary supplements. This combined method involves the following simple pre-treatment procedures: dietary supplement samples were prepared by centrifugation and filtration after an extraction step, whereas beverage samples were diluted prior to injection. Chromatographic analysis in this method utilised a multi-mode ODS column, which provided reverse-phase, anion- and cation-exchange capacities, and therefore improved the retention of highly polar analytes such as water-soluble vitamins. Additionally, the multi-mode ODS column did not require adding ion pair reagents to the mobile phase. We optimised the chromatographic separation of 15 water-soluble vitamins by adjusting the mobile phase pH and the organic solvent. We also conducted an analysis of a NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM 3280 Multi-vitamin/Multi-element tablets) using this method to verify its accuracy. In addition, the method was applied to identify the vitamins in commercial beverages and dietary supplements. By comparing results with the label values and results obtained by official methods, it was concluded that the method could be used for quality control and to compose nutrition labels for vitamin-enriched products.

Abstract
The direct 3α decay branch from the 02+ state at Ex=7.65 MeV in 12C, which is known as the Hoyle state, is considered to affect the triple-α reaction rate strongly and to give crucial information on its structure. We have performed a high-precision measurement of the 3α decay from this state using the 12C(12C,3α)12C reaction at E12C=110 MeV. The branching ratio of the direct 3α decay was under the detection limit in the present experiment. By comparing with Monte Carlo simulations for three decay mechanisms as the sequential decay through the ground state of ^{8}Be, the direct decay with equal energies of three α particles, and the direct decay to the phase space uniformly, we have obtained the upper limit of 0.2% on the direct 3α decay.

Abstract
The efficacy of the combination of the rapid-acting insulin secretagogue mitiglinide and the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor dapagliflozin was explored in streptozotocin-nicotinamide-induced type 2 diabetic (STZ-NA) rats and in Zucker fatty (ZF) rats. The STZ-NA rats were prepared at 8 weeks of age. At 9 weeks of age, the combination study was conducted by oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). At 13 weeks of age, ZF rats were dosed orally with dapagliflozin once daily up to the 22(nd) day. At days 15 and 22, the combination study was conducted by OGTT. In 2 different animal models, plasma glucose levels were strongly suppressed by the combination of mitiglinide and dapagliflozin as compared with either drug alone. The urinary glucose excretion was drastically elevated in the dapagliflozin group, but the combination with mitiglinide suppressed it about 50%. In STZ-NA rats, the plasma insulin secretion by the combination of both drugs was about at the same level as in the mitiglinide group. In ZF rats, the plasma insulin secretion by the combination of both drugs was less than mitiglinide group. Thus, in 2 different animal models, the combination of mitiglinide and dapagliflozin showed stronger antihyperglycemic action accompanied by less insulin secretion than mitiglinide alone, and reduced the urinary glucose excretion as compared with dapagliflozin used alone. These results indicate that the combination of mitiglinide and dapagliflozin can be a promising combination for the treatment of diabetic patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We conducted an acute experimental study to test the feasibility of dynamic cardiomyoplasty in a setting of modified Fontan procedure for univentricular heart with pulmonary hypertension to obtain a possible proxy for high-risk Fontan candidates. METHODS After electrical preconditioning of the left latissimuss dorsi for 6 weeks in 8 dogs, the right ventricular cavity was totally obliterated with concomittent closure of the tricuspid valve and right pulmonary artery. Modified Fontan circulation was established with the aortic homograft anastomosed between the right atrium and pulmonary trunk, incorporated with a pericardial pouch as a compression chamber (neoright ventricle) fixed onto the epicardial surface of the ventricle. After cardiopulmonary bypass termination, a latissimus dorsi was applied to wrap the pericardial pouch and ventricle clockwise and stimulated with a trained-pulse (25 Hz) at 1:1 synchronization ratio with cardiac beats. RESULTS Profound right heart failure was noted during Fontan circulation in increased pulmonary vascular resistance (11 +/- 3.2 Wood units), whereas graft pacing showed significant augmentation of systolic pulmonary pressure by 54 +/- 12%, the mean pulmonary flow by 68 +/- 23%, and aortic pressure by 23 +/- 5% at a physiological range of central venous pressure (13.2 +/- 0.7 mmHg). Right heart function curve analysis confirmed marked augmentation of right heart performance, restoring almost normal pulmonary circulation. These functional benefits were sustained up to 4 hours in 4 animals until experiments were terminated. CONCLUSIONS Dynamic cardiomyoplasty in a modified Fontan procedure is a viable surgical option for univentricular heart, not a Fontan candidate.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the behaviour of dental pulp cells under hypoxic conditions in vivo using an experimental animal model. METHODOLOGY A mini-screw was inserted into the inferior dental nerve canal of rats to arrest the blood supply, which resulted in a reduced oxygen level in the dental pulps of molar teeth used for the experimental group. The decrease in blood supply was evaluated by injected India ink in transparent specimens. The hypoxia marker hypoxyprobe-1 was investigated by immunohistochemical staining. The mRNA expressions of ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC) G2 (ABCG2) which is a marker for the capacity to excrete metabolites and for stem-like cells as well as dentine sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) and osteocalcin (OCN) which are markers for mineralization were evaluated by RT-PCR. Protein was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining using ABCG2, dentine sialoprotein (DSP) and OCN. RESULTS The evaluation of India ink indicated a decreased blood supply in the transparent specimens, and hypoxyprobe-1 immunohistochemical staining showed positive expression. ABCG2, DSPP and OCN mRNA expressions increased at 7 and 14 days. Immunohistochemically, ABCG2, DSP and OCN-positive cells were localized in the odontoblastic layer. CONCLUSIONS Hypoxic conditions promoted mineralization and differentiation of dental pulp cells of the odontoblastic layer.

Abstract
A case of fetal neuroblastoma of the right adrenal gland, with rapid development of hydrops fetalis due to catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy, is reported. A fetus with a right suprarenal mass detected during ultrasonography at 32 weeks gestation progressively developed into hydrops fetalis by 35.2 weeks gestation. An emergent cesarean section was performed. At birth, the female neonate was hypertensive, with markedly elevated catecholamine levels; echocardiography showed poor contractility. Morphine, human atrial natriuretic peptide, milrinone, nitroprusside and dobutamine were initiated and her blood pressure was maintained within the normal range and her cardiac contractility improved 2 weeks after birth. Neuroblastoma cells were detected in the placenta, resulting in the right adrenal mass being diagnosed as a neuroblastoma. She was well, and the mass diminished in size within 4 months, without surgery. A fetus with suspected neuroblastoma, indicated by a suprarenal mass, should be managed with appropriate consideration of hydrops.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Portable Data for Imaging (PDI) is regularly used as a guideline for sharing medical imaging data between hospitals and other medical institutions. When a patient is referred to another location, the patient almost always brings PDI media on a CD or DVD. However, problems often occur when trying to view images on PDI discs inserted into computer terminals, and it is more efficient to view images on the hospitals' own picture archiving and communication system (PACS). On the request of doctors, it has become a routine practice to import PDI data to the PACS of the referred hospital. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the increase in PDI image importing and investigate methods for reducing the burden caused by importing images. METHODS We compiled representative data on image importing over time and analyzed the test modalities, number of images, volume of data, and referring hospital or medical clinic from which the data originated. RESULTS The amount of PDI images imported to the PACS has risen despite no large increase in the number of patients. Currently, images imported from PDI media make up 22.8% of the total number of images stored in the PACS. The images come from a diverse array of hospitals (184 hospitals) and 82% are essential for medical care. The total annual expenditure associated with PDI data management is estimated to be 98,300 USD. CONCLUSION The spreading use of the PDI guideline has led to a dramatic increase in data image sharing in the field of healthcare. While this has great benefits for patients and doctors, it is also associated with a greater cost and an overall burden for hospitals. These results indicate the need for a system to enable many hospitals and clinics to participate in image sharing at a cheaper cost.

Abstract
Electron Cyclotron Resonance-Ion Plasma Accelerator (ECR-IPAC) device, which theoretically can accelerate multiple charged ions to several hundred MeV with short acceleration length, has been proposed. The acceleration mechanism is based on the combination of two physical principles, plasma electron ion adiabatic ejection (PLEIADE) and Gyromagnetic Autoresonance (GYRAC). In this study, we have designed the proof of principle machine ECR-IPAC device and simulated the electromagnetic field distribution generating in the resonance cavity. ECR-IPAC device consisted of three parts, ECR ion source section, GYRAC section, and PLEIADE section. ECR ion source section and PLEIADE section were designed using several multi-turn solenoid coils and sextupole magnets, and GYRAC section was designed using 10 turns coil. The structure of ECR-IPAC device was the cylindrical shape, and the total length was 1024 mm and the maximum diameter was 580 mm. The magnetic field distribution, which maintains the stable acceleration of plasma, was generated on the acceleration center axis throughout three sections. In addition, the electric field for efficient acceleration of electrons was generated in the resonance cavity by supplying microwave of 2.45 GHz.

Abstract
In order to realize neutral beam systems in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor whose target is to produce a 1 MeV, 200 A/m(2) during 3600 s D(-) ion beam, the electrostatic five-stages negative ion accelerator so-called "MeV accelerator" has been developed at Japan Atomic Energy Agency. To extend pulse length, heat load of the acceleration grids was reduced by controlling the ion beam trajectory. Namely, the beam deflection due to the residual magnetic field of filter magnet was suppressed with the newly developed extractor with a 0.5 mm off-set aperture displacement. The new extractor improved the deflection angle from 6 mrad to 1 mrad, resulting in the reduction of direct interception of negative ions from 23% to 15% of the total acceleration power, respectively. As a result, the pulse length of 130 A/m(2), 881 keV H(-) ion beam has been successfully extended from a previous value of 0.4 s to 8.7 s. This is the first long pulse negative ion beam acceleration over 100 MW/m(2).

Abstract
The search for the violation of the fundamental symmetry in a radioactive atom is the promising candidate for precision tests of the standard model and its possible extensions. The subtle signal arising from the symmetry violation is enhanced in heavy atoms, such as a francium (Fr). To realize high precision measurements, a large amount of radioactive isotopes is required. The Fr is produced via a nuclear fusion reaction using a melted gold target with a (18)O primary beam at Cyclotron and Radioisotope Center, Tohoku University. The maximum extraction efficiency of the Fr ion was achieved at approximately 35%. The beam line consists of an electrostatic deflector, three electrostatic quadrupole triplets to the measurement area at 10 m away from the reaction point, and several beam diagnosis systems. We optimized parameters of the beam line.

Abstract
High power and long-pulse negative ion extractor, which is composed of the plasma grid (PG) and the extraction grid (EXG), is newly developed toward the neutral beam injector for heating and current drive of future fusion machines such as ITER, JT-60 Super Advanced and DEMO reactor. The PG is designed to enhance surface production of negative ions efficiently by applying the chamfered aperture. The efficiency of the negative ion production for the discharge power increased by a factor of 1.3 against that of the conventional PG. The EXG is also designed with the thermal analysis to upgrade the cooling capability for the long pulse operation of >1000 s required in ITER. Though the magnetic field for electron suppression is reduced to 0.75 of that in the conventional EXG due to this upgrade, it was experimentally confirmed that the extracted electron current can be suppressed to the allowable level for the long pulse operation. These results show that newly developed extractor has the high potential for the long pulse extraction of the negative ions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-mobility group box chromosomal protein 1 (HMGB1) has recently been identified as an important mediator of various kinds of acute and chronic inflammation. A method for efficiently removing HMGB1 from the systemic circulation could be a promising therapy for HMGB1-mediated inflammatory diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we produced a new adsorbent material by chemically treating polystyrene fiber. We first determined whether the adsorbent material efficiently adsorbed HMGB1 in vitro using a bovine HMGB1 solution and a plasma sample from a swine model of acute liver failure. We then constructed a column by embedding fabric sheets of the newly developed fibers into a cartridge and tested the ability of the column to reduce plasma HMGB1 levels during a 4-hour extracorporeal hemoperfusion in a swine model of acute liver failure. RESULTS The in vitro adsorption test of the new fiber showed high performance for HMGB1 adsorption (96% adsorption in the bovine HMGB1 solution and 94% in the acute liver failure swine plasma, 2 h incubation at 37°C; p < 0.05 vs. incubation with no adsorbent). In the in vivo study, the ratio of the HMGB1 concentration at the outlet versus the inlet of the column was significantly lower in swine hemoperfused with the newly developed column (53 and 61% at the beginning and end of perfusion, respectively) than in those animals hemoperfused with the control column (94 and 93% at the beginning and end of perfusion, respectively; p < 0.05). Moreover, the normalized plasma level of HMGB1 was significantly lower during perfusion with the new column than with the control column (p < 0.05 at 1, 2, and 3 h after initiation of perfusion). CONCLUSION These data suggest that the newly developed column has the potential to effectively adsorb HMGB1 during hemoperfusion in swine.

Abstract
Abstract We report the case of a patient with systemic sclerosis (SSc) who developed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) 6 weeks after herpes zoster. Muscle weakness developed first, and thereafter severely in the muscles in the same segment as the zoster. Serum anti-GM1 and -GD1b IgM autoantibodies were detected in the acute phase. The clinical course and the findings of nerve conduction studies and a sural nerve biopsy were compatible with GBS accompanied by underlying chronic polyneuropathy. SSc might have affected the neurological manifestation via the development of underlying neuropathy and a possible contribution to the autoimmune basis in GBS.
