Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical T1 gastric cancer has low metastatic potential to lymph nodes and is generally curable by local treatment. Endoscopic resection can preserve the whole stomach and does not impair the patient's quality of life; however, its indication is strictly limited to the subset of patients without nodal metastasis. The study was designed to predict reliably the patients without nodal metastasis based only on the clinical information. METHODS We examined patients with clinical T1 disease who were treated with surgery. The clinically available information was evaluated for its ability to predict nodal metastasis by logistic regression model. Then, the predictive ability of the logistic regression model using the risk factors for nodal metastasis was evaluated by a receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS A total of 511 patients were entered into this study. The clinical depth (cT1a or cT1b), maximal tumor diameter, and pathological type were confirmed to be significantly different between patients with and without nodal metastasis. The cutoff value of the tumor diameter differed depending on the histology and clinical depth: 79 mm for differentiated type and 48 mm for undifferentiated type in cT1a tumors, and 43 mm for differentiated type and 11 mm for undifferentiated type in cT1b tumors. According to these criteria, 348 of the 511 patients (68.1 %) were classified to have predictive N0 status. The negative predictive value was 95.7 % (95 % confidence interval 94.0-97.5 %). CONCLUSIONS The predictive criteria based on the multivariate logistic model identified that almost two-thirds of the patients with clinical T1 gastric cancer were possible candidates for endoscopic treatment.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of injury duration on plantar-flexor elastic properties in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) and spasticity. SETTING National Rehabilitation Center for Persons with Disabilities, Japan. METHODS A total of 16 chronic SCI patients (age, 33±9.3 years; injury localization, C6-T12; injury duration, 11-371 months) participated. Spasticity of the ankle plantar-flexors was assessed using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). The calf circumference and muscle thickness of the medial gastrocnemius (MG), lateral gastrocnemius and soleus were assessed using tape measure and ultrasonography. In addition, the ankle was rotated from 10° plantar-flexion to 20° dorsiflexion at 5 deg s(-1) with a dynamometer, and the ankle angle and torque were recorded. After normalizing the data (the initial points of angle and torque were set to zero), we calculated the peak torque and energy. Furthermore, angle-torque data (before and after normalization) were fitted with a second- and fourth-order polynomial, and exponential (Sten-Knudsen) models, and stiffness indices (SISOP, SIFOP, SISK) and AngleSLACK (the angle at which plantar-flexor passive torque equals zero) were calculated. The stretch reflex gain and offset were determined from 0-10° dorsiflexion at 50, 90, 120 and 150 deg s(-1). After logarithmic transformation, Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated. RESULTS MAS, calf circumference, MG thickness, peak torque and SIFOP significantly decreased with injury duration (r log-log=-0.63, -0.69, -0.63, -0.53 and -0.55, respectively, P<0.05). The peak torque and SIFOP maintained significant relationships even after excluding impacts from muscle morphology. CONCLUSION Plantar-flexor elasticity in chronic SCI patients decreased with increased injury duration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND T1 gastric cancer can be diagnosed only by endoscopy and is almost curable by local treatment. It has been unclear how a multidetector-row computed tomography (CT) evaluation is valuable for clinical T1 patients. METHODS Patients with clinical T1 disease, as diagnosed by endoscopy and treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) or surgery between October 2000 and October 2007, were examined. The efficacy of CT was evaluated by the reversal rate of endoscopic T1 by CT, the incidence of clinical M1 disease, and the accuracy of diagnosing pathological N+ disease in patients who received surgery. To confirm metachronous distant and nodal metastases, the disease-free survival (DFS) also was evaluated. RESULTS A total of 761 patients, 236 treated by ESD and 525 treated with surgery, were examined. None of the patients had an endoscopic diagnosis of clinical T1 reversed by CT. No clinical M1 disease was found. Among the 525 patients who underwent surgery, 8 showed clinical N+ disease (1.5 %), while 47 demonstrated pathological N+ disease (8.9 %). The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive values were 90.3, 4.3, 98.7, 25, and 91.3 %, respectively. The 5-year DFS rate was 93.6 % (95 % confidence interval 91.4-95.8 %). CONCLUSIONS The present study suggests that diagnostic value of CT is limited for staging of clinical T1 gastric cancer patients, because the reversal rate of endoscopic T1 by CT was very low, clinical M1 disease was rare, the diagnosis of N+ status was unreliable, and metachronous M1 and N+ findings were rare.

Abstract
The IGF2/H19-imprinting control region (ICR1) functions as an insulator to methylation-sensitive binding of CTCF protein, and regulates imprinted expression of IGF2 and H19 in a parental origin-specific manner. ICR1 methylation defects cause abnormal expression of imprinted genes, leading to Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) or Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS). Not only ICR1 microdeletions involving the CTCF-binding site, but also point mutations and a small deletion of the OCT-binding site have been shown to trigger methylation defects in BWS. Here, mutational analysis of ICR1 in 11 BWS and 12 SRS patients with ICR1 methylation defects revealed a novel de novo point mutation of the OCT-binding site on the maternal allele in one BWS patient. In BWS, all reported mutations and the small deletion of the OCT-binding site, including our case, have occurred within repeat A2. These findings indicate that the OCT-binding site is important for maintaining an unmethylated status of maternal ICR1 in early embryogenesis.

Abstract
Neuronal migration during brain development sets the position of neurons for the subsequent wiring of neural circuits. To understand the molecular mechanism regulating the migrating process, we considered the migration of mouse precerebellar neurons. Precerebellar neurons originate in the rhombic lip of the hindbrain and show stereotypic, long-distance tangential migration along the circumference of the hindbrain to form precerebellar nuclei at discrete locations. To identify the molecular components underlying this navigation, we screened for genes expressed in the migrating precerebellar neurons. As a result, we identified the following three genes through the screening; Calm1, Septin 11, and Csde1. We report here functional analysis of one of these genes, Csde1, an RNA-binding protein implicated in the post-transcriptional regulation of a subset of cellular mRNA, by examining its participation in precerebellar neuronal migration. We found that shRNA-mediated inhibition of Csde1 expression resulted in a failure of precerebellar neurons to complete their migration into their prospective target regions, with many neurons remaining in migratory paths. Furthermore, those that did reach their destination failed to invade the depth of the hindbrain via radial migration. These results have uncovered a crucial role of Csde1 in the proper control of both radial and tangential migration of precerebellar neurons.

Abstract
The vicinal diketones (VDK), such as diacetyl and 2,3-pentandione, impart an unpleasant butter-like flavour to beer. Typically, these are required to be reduced below the flavour thresholds during the maturation (lagering) stages of the brewing process. To shorten beer maturation time, we constructed a self-cloning, bottom-fermenting yeast with low VDK production by integrating ILV5, a gene encoding a protein that metabolizes α-acetolactate and α-aceto-α-hydroxybutyrate (precursors of VDK). A DNA fragment containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae-type ILV5 was inserted upstream of S. cerevisiae-type ILV2 in bottom-fermenting yeast to construct self-cloning strains with an increased copy number of ILV5. Via transformation, ILV2 was replaced with the sulfometuron methyl (SM) resistance gene SMR1B, which differs by a single nucleotide, to create SM-resistant transformants. The wort fermentation test, using the SC-ILV5-homo inserted transformant, confirmed a consecutive reduction in VDK and a shortening period during which VDK was reduced to within the threshold. The concentrations of ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, isoamyl alcohol, 1-propanol, isobutyl alcohol and active isoamyl alcohol (flavour components) were not changed when compared with the parent strain. We successfully constructed self-cloning brewer's yeast in which SC-ILV5 was homo-inserted. Using the transformed yeast, the concentration of VDK in fermenting wort was reduced, whereas the concentrations of flavour components were not affected. This genetically stable, low VDK-producing, self-cloning bottom-fermenting yeast would contribute to the shortening of beer maturation time without affecting important flavour components produced by brewer's yeast.

Abstract
Although the involvement of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in the development of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in HIV patients and transplant recipients has been reported, it is still controversial whether CMV itself can cause TMA. We report herein a rare case with rapid improvement of TMA by ganciclovir treatment in a patient who is neither HIV-positive nor a transplant recipient, suggesting a pathogenic role for CMV in TMA.
