Abstract
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) regulates cell survival and proliferation pathways. Here we report the discovery of a highly selective series of 1,5-dihydropyrazolo[4,3-c][2,1]benzothiazines that demonstrate a novel mode of allosteric inhibition of FAK. These compounds showed slow dissociation from unphosphorylated FAK and were noncompetitive with ATP after long preincubation. Co-crystal structural analysis revealed that the compounds target a novel allosteric site within the C-lobe of the kinase domain, which induces disruption of ATP pocket formation leading to the inhibition of kinase activity. The potency of allosteric inhibition was reduced by phosphorylation of FAK. Coupled SAR analysis revealed that N-substitution of the fused pyrazole is critical to achieve allosteric binding and high selectivity among kinases.

Abstract
AIM Although diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered to be one of the most consistent risks for developing dementia, it is not known if the pathology in dementia patients with DM is similar to or distinct from typical pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To discover the mechanism of developing dementia in AD patients with DM in a living state, we studied the distribution of amyloid β (Αβ) protein of diabetic AD patients. METHODS To evaluate the accumulation of Aβ, we examined 14 normal controls, four diabetic patients with AD and 11 non-diabetic patients with AD by positron emission tomography (PET) using BF-227, a currently developed Aβ tracer. RESULTS The analysis of PET images among the three groups showed an abundant aggregated Aβ accumulation in the cerebral cortex of both AD patients with and without DM. The extent and distributions of BF-227 accumulation in diabetic AD patients were not significantly different from these of non-diabetic AD patients. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the degree and extent of Aβ deposition is not significantly different between AD with DM and AD alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Adjuvant Chemotherapy Trial of TS-1 for Colon Cancer (ACTS-CC) is a phase III trial designed to validate the non-inferiority of S-1 to UFT/leucovorin (LV) as postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer. We report the results of a planned safety analysis. METHODS Patients aged 20-80 years with curatively resected stage III colon cancer were randomly assigned to receive UFT/LV (UFT, 300 mg m(-2) per day as tegafur; LV, 75 mg per day on days 1-28, every 35 days, 5 courses) or S-1 (80, 100, or 120 mg per day on days 1-28, every 42 days, 4 courses). Treatment status and safety were evaluated. RESULTS Of 1535 enrolled patients, a total of 1504 (756 allocated to S-1 and 748 to UFT/LV) were analysed. The completion rate of protocol treatment was 77% in the S-1 group and 73% in the UFT/LV group. The overall incidence of adverse events (AEs) were 80% in S-1 and 74% in UFT/LV. Stomatitis, anorexia, hyperpigmentation, and haematological toxicities were common in S-1, whereas increased alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase were common in UFT/LV. The incidences of grade 3 AEs were 16% and 14%, respectively. CONCLUSION Although AE profiles differed between the groups, feasibility of the protocol treatment was good. Both S-1 and UFT/LV could be safely used as adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Executive function is critical for children's healthy development. We propose an intervention program to enhance children's executive function using the game, GO. Many neuroimaging studies have revealed that playing GO is related to executive function. In addition, previous studies also revealed that executive function can be enhanced by training. We will perform a randomized controlled trial to investigate the effectiveness of a GO intervention group and a control group without intervention. METHODS/DESIGN 35 elementary school children aged 8 to 10 were recruited from Edogawa elementary school in Tokyo, Japan. They will be randomized into two groups; either the 5-week GO intervention group or no-intervention control group. We will ask the participants of the intervention group to join the GO course which will be held once every week for five weeks (total: six times). In the GO course, the children will be taught GO by the GO masters of the Nihon Ki-in and enjoy it for an hour. Besides the course, the participants will perform GO problems about twenty minutes a day, three times a week during the intervention period. We will use the Stroop task, the digit span, the Raven's colored progressive matrices, the Span-board task, and the Behavioral inhibition/behavioral activation scale for the outcome measures. Outcomes will be measured at a baseline (Assessment 1) and 5 weeks after the intervention program started (Assessment 2). The intervention group will be compared with the control group using one-way analyses of covariance with the difference between Assessment 1 and Assessment 2 measures as dependent variables and pretest scores as covariates. DISCUSSION To our knowledge, this study will be the first RCT to investigate the efficacy of a GO intervention program for elementary school children. If this intervention is effective, we will be able to take the next steps in making an educational program to enhance children's executive function and other cognitive abilities using GO. In addition, we further will investigate the transfer effects of the GO intervention program through executive function. We also will investigate neuroplasticity with the GO intervention using neuroimaging.

Abstract
517 Background: The standard duration of adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) in patient with stage III colorectal cancer is 6 months. On the other hand, no clinical trial which investigate an optimal duration of oral chemotherapeutic agents has yet been implemented for adjuvant treatments. According to the ACCENT database (Sargent, et al. J Clin Oncol 27: 872- 877, 2009), 83% of recurrences in stage II and III pts have occurred within the first 3 years after surgery and peak was observed around one year after surgery. Also, single-agent FU-based adjuvant CT reduced the hazard rate of OS, DFS, and TTR, although the peak of events around one year was still remained especially for stage III pts. We analyzed the data of recurrent risk of curatively resected colon cancer pts provided by JFMC7-1-7-2-15, X-ACT. Surgery alone group and 6 months CT (5FU/LV or capecitabine [Cape]) showed highest peak between 12 months to 18 months after surgery, but 12 months oral 5-FUs group did not show recurrence peak between 12 months to 18 months after surgery. Therefore, to clarify the benefit of 12 month administration of Cape, we planned a phase III randomized trial for a comparison of 6 months treatment and 12 months treatment. Methods: JFMC37 is a multicenter, randomized phase III trial. Patients with fully resected stage III colon or recto sigmoid cancer were eligible. Patients were randomized 1:1 to receive Cape of 6 months (arm A) or Cape of 12 months (arm B). Primary endpoint is disease-free survival. The statistical design is based on superiority hypothesis; 5-yrs DFS is 60% in arm A, 67% in arm B; unilateral α=0.05, 1-β=0.8; and planed accrual is 1200 pts. Results: Between September 2008 to December 2009, 1,304 pts were randomized. Patients characteristics are (armA/armB); number 653/651, gender M352-F301/M343-F308, median age 65 years/65 years, ECOG PS=0-1 620-33/632-19, involvement of lymph nodes=N0-N1-N2 503-130-20/499-128-24. There were no differences in baseline characteristics between arm A and arm B. Conclusions: This trial is expected to show if 1 year adjutant chemotherapy with capecitabine can reduce the peak of recurrence in 1 year and provide long-term OS benefit. [Table: see text]

Abstract
BACKGROUND This population-based retrospective cohort study aimed to clarify the impact of home and community-based services on the hospitalisation and institutionalisation of individuals certified as eligible for long-term care insurance (LTCI) benefits. METHODS Health insurance data and LTCI data were combined into a database of 1,020 individuals in two farming communities in Hokkaido who were enrolled in Citizen's Health Insurance. They had not received long-term care services prior to April 1, 2000 and were newly certified as eligible for Long-Term Care Insurance benefits between April 1, 2000 and February 29, 2008. The analysis covered 565 subjects who had not been hospitalised or institutionalised at the time of first certification of LTCI benefits. The adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of hospitalisation or institutionalisation or death after the initial certification were calculated using the Cox proportional hazard model. The predictors were age, sex, eligibility level, area of residence, income, year of initial certification and average monthly outpatient medical expenditures, in addition to average monthly total home and community-based services expenditures (analysis 1), the use or no use of each type of service (analysis 2), and average monthly expenditures for home-visit and day-care types of services, the use or no use of respite care, and the use or no use of rental services for assistive devices (analysis 3). RESULTS Users of home and community-based services were less likely than non-users to be hospitalised or institutionalised. Among the types of services, users of respite care (HR: 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.55-0.93) and rental services for assistive devices (HR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.54-0.92) were less likely to be hospitalised or institutionalised than non-users. For those with relatively light needs, users of day care were also less likely to be hospitalised or institutionalized than non-users (HR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.61-0.98). CONCLUSIONS Respite care, rental services for assistive devices and day care are effective in preventing hospitalisation and institutionalisation. Our results suggest that home and community-based services contribute to the goal of the LTCI system of encouraging individuals certified as needing long-term care to live independently at home for as long as possible.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS The glomerular endothelial layer is coated by the endothelial surface layer (ESL), which is suggested to play a role in regulation of the permselectivity of macromolecules. Production of heparanase, a degrading enzyme of the ESL, is induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). We hypothesised that oxidative stress could cause deterioration of the glomerular ESL by induction of heparanase, resulting in increased glomerular permeability. METHODS Male Zucker fatty (ZF) rats with albuminuria and Zucker lean (ZL) rats were used in this study. Some of the ZF rats were treated with the angiotensin II receptor blocker, irbesartan. We determined the amount of ESL by wheat germ agglutinin staining and heparan sulphate proteoglycan production by western blot analysis. Glomerular hyperfiltration of macromolecules was visualised using in vivo microscopy. We used 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate-derived chemiluminescence staining to assess ROS production, and heparanase production and expression were determined by western blot analysis and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction respectively. RESULTS By 18 weeks of age, ZF rats had developed albuminuria. The glomerular endothelial cell glycocalyx was significantly decreased in ZF compared with ZL rats. Glomerular filtration and the permeability of macromolecules were increased in ZF, but not in ZL rats. Glomerular ROS and heparanase production were significantly increased in ZF compared with ZL rats. These changes in ZF rats were reversed by irbesartan treatment. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Increased oxidative stress induces glomerular ESL deterioration in part through increased heparanase levels, resulting in exacerbation of glomerular permselectivity and development of albuminuria.
