Abstract
We have been developing the 28 GHz ECR ion source in order to accelerate high-intensity uranium beams at the RIKEN RI-beam Factory. Although we have generated U(35+) beams by the sputtering method thus far, we began developing a high-temperature oven with the aim of increasing and stabilizing the beams. Because the oven method uses UO2, a crucible must be heated to a temperature higher than 2000 °C to supply an appropriate amount of UO2 vapor to the ECR plasma. Our high-temperature oven uses a tungsten crucible joule-heated with DC current of approximately 450 A. Its inside dimensions are ϕ11 mm × 13.5 mm. Since the crucible is placed in a magnetic field of approximately 3 T, it is subject to a magnetic force of approximately 40 N. Therefore, we used ANSYS to carefully design the crucible, which was manufactured by machining a tungsten rod. We could raise the oven up to 1900 °C in the first off-line test. Subsequently, UO2 was loaded into the crucible, and the oven was installed in the 28 GHz ECR ion source and was tested. As a result, a U(35+) beam current of 150 μA was extracted successfully at a RF power of approximately 3 kW.

Abstract
In order to supply a high-intensity and stable (48)Ca beam from the RIKEN 18-GHz electron cyclotron resonance ion source, we are conducting operational tests of a micro-oven. A mixture of CaO and Al powders is placed into the crucible of the micro-oven and heated to produce metallic calcium by a reductive reaction. The successful production of a calcium beam was confirmed. In addition, we reduced the material consumption rate by using a so-called "hot liner," and we enhanced the beam intensity by applying a negative voltage bias to the micro-oven, the effect of which is similar to the effect of a "biased disk."

Abstract
USP21 is a deubiquitylase that catalyzes isopeptide bond hydrolysis between ubiquitin and histone H2A. Since ubiqutylated H2A (ubH2A) represses transcription, USP21 plays a role in transcriptional activation. On the other hand, the localization of USP21 suggests it has an additional function in the cytoplasm. Here, we identified a USP21 short variant (USP21SV) lacking a nuclear export signal (NES). Differential localization of USP21SV, more in the nucleus than the USP21 long variant (USP21LV), suggests they have redundant roles in the cell. Ectopic expression of both USP21 variants decreased ubH2A in the nucleus. Furthermore, both recombinant USP21 variants activate transcription by deubiquitylating ubH2A in vitro. These data suggest multiple roles for USP21 in the ubiquitylation-deubiquitylation network in the cell.

Abstract
In order to miniaturize a high-density, inductively coupled magnetized plasma or helicon plasma to be applied to, e.g., an industrial application and an electric propulsion field, small helicon device has been developed. The specifications of this device along with the experimental results are described. We have succeeded in generating high-density (~10(19) m(-3)) plasmas using quartz tubes with very small diameters of 10 and 20 mm, with a radio frequency power ~1200 and 700 W, respectively, in the presence of the magnetic field less than 1 kG.

Abstract
This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical outcomes of endoscopic resection of 26 sporadic (i. e., not associated with polyposis syndrome) nonampullary duodenal lesions representing high-grade dysplasia or intramucosal carcinoma (duodenal HGD/IMC) in 23 patients. No severe complications such as perforation were observed, but three cases of delayed bleeding were seen. The use of endoscopic clips significantly decreased the delayed bleeding rate (0/19, 0%) compared with cases in which clips were not used (3/7, 42.9%; P = 0.013, χ2 test). Eighteen lesions (69.2%) were removed by en bloc resection. The follow-up period after resection was 25.5 ± 23.3 months. Two lesions (7.7%) that recurred locally were detected at the first surveillance endoscopy 3 months after resection. These lesions were 22 and 15 mm in size respectively and were resected piecemeal. Endoscopic resection is an effective and safe procedure for treating duodenal HGD/IMC. En bloc resection and prophylactic clip usage are encouraged.

Abstract
Because of its high oxygen demands, neural tissue is predisposed to oxidative stress. Here, our aim was to clarify the cellular localization of antioxidant enzymes in the trigeminal ganglion. We found that the transcriptional factor Sox10 is localized exclusively in satellite glial cells (SGCs) in the adult trigeminal ganglion. The use of transgenic mice that express the fluorescent protein Venus under the Sox10 promoter enabled us to distinguish between neurons and SGCs. Although both superoxide dismutases 1 and 2 were present in the neurons, only superoxide dismutase 1 was identified in SGCs. The enzymes relevant to hydrogen peroxide degradation displayed differential cellular localization, such that neurons were endowed with glutathione peroxidase 1 and thioredoxin 2, and catalase and thioredoxin 2 were present in SGCs. Our immunohistochemical finding showed that only SGCs were labeled by the oxidative damage marker 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, which indicates that the antioxidant systems of SGCs were less potent. The transient receptor potential vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1), the capsaicin receptor, is implicated in inflammatory hyperalgesia, and we demonstrated that topical capsaicin application causes short-lasting mechanical hyperalgesia in the face. Our cell-based assay revealed that TRPV1 agonist stimulation in the presence of TRPV1 overexpression caused reactive oxygen species-mediated caspase-3 activation. Moreover, capsaicin induced the cellular demise of primary TRPV1-positive trigeminal ganglion neurons in a dose-dependent manner, and this effect was inhibited by a free radical scavenger and a pancaspase inhibitor. This study delineates the localization of antioxidative stress-related enzymes in the trigeminal ganglion and reveals the importance of the pivotal role of reactive oxygen species in the TRPV1-mediated caspase-dependent cell death of trigeminal ganglion neurons. Therapeutic measures for antioxidative stress should be taken to prevent damage to trigeminal primary sensory neurons in inflammatory pain disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The obturator hernia sac may follow the anterior or posterior branch of the obturator nerve, and thus, it can be classified anatomically. The relationship between the symptoms and the anatomical classification of obturator hernia has not yet been clearly described in the literature. METHODS Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) examinations of 35 consecutive cases of new-onset obturator hernia admitted from March 2005 to April 2012 were reviewed retrospectively. Obturator hernia was classified anatomically using MDCT. Patient characteristics and clinical presentations were compared among the anatomical classifications. RESULTS Fifteen cases were classified as type I (anterior branch type) and 20 cases as type II (posterior branch type). There were no significant differences regarding time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis, presence of small bowel obstruction, and need for bowel resection. The Howship-Romberg sign was seen in 6 cases (30 %) of type II and 10 cases (67 %) of type I (p = 0.044). CONCLUSIONS The Howship-Romberg sign was present significantly more often with the anterior than the posterior branch type of obturator hernia.

Abstract
The absorption, distribution and excretion of radioactivity were investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats after a single intravenous or subcutaneous dose of 14C-azacitidine. After subcutaneous administration, 14C-azacitidine was rapidly absorbed and the radioactivity was distributed to the tissues. The absorption of radioactivity after subcutaneous administration was 76.6% of that observed after intravenous administration. There were no marked differences in the tissue distribution of the radioactivity between administration routes. The concentrations of radioactivity in most tissues, including the spleen and bone marrow, which are sites of action of azacitidine, were higher than those in the plasma. Particularly high concentrations of radioactivity were detected in the spleen, kidney and liver. The accumulation of radioactivity in blood cells increased from 0.5 to 48 h. The binding of azacitidine to serum protein was low at <9%, and the cumulative urinary and fecal excretion of radioactivity for 168 h after intravenous or subcutaneous administration was >95% of the administered dose, indicating that radioactivity did not accumulate in the tissues. The radioactivity was mainly excreted in the urine.

Abstract
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial event that occurs during cancer metastasis and can be induced by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) in various tumor cells in vitro. However, little is known about the effects of TGF-β in canine mammary gland tumors (CMGTs). Here, we investigated the role of TGF-β in CMGT. We observed that treatment of the CMGT cell line CHMp13a with TGF-β1 leads to transient induction of the mesenchymal marker vimentin. Real-time measurements of cellular electrical impedance also showed that CMGT invasiveness is transiently increased by TGF-β1 treatment, but is reversed after prolonged stimulation. This phenomenon is similar to the mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET, the reverse phenomenon of EMT), and a process that is implicated in the establishment of secondary metastatic lesions.
