Abstract
Injecting high-energy heavy ions in the electronic stopping regime into solids can create cylindrical damage zones called latent ion tracks. Although these tracks form in many materials, none have ever been observed in diamond, even when irradiated with high-energy GeV uranium ions. Here we report the first observation of ion track formation in diamond irradiated with 2-9 MeV C60 fullerene ions. Depending on the ion energy, the mean track length (diameter) changed from 17 (3.2) nm to 52 (7.1) nm. High resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM) indicated the amorphization in the tracks, in which π-bonding signal from graphite was detected by the electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Since the melting transition is not induced in diamond at atmospheric pressure, conventional inelastic thermal spike calculations cannot be applied. Two-temperature molecular dynamics simulations succeeded in the reproduction of both the track formation under MeV C60 irradiations and the no-track formation under GeV monoatomic ion irradiations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Late arterial phase images of SD 8, SD 10, and SD 12 were acquired in the 3-phase dynamic study of the liver in combination with hybrid iterative reconstruction. We evaluated the low-contrast detectability by adding a simulated tumor to these images and aimed to formulate a standard image quality. METHODS We prepared images with and without signal for 60 series of 20 samples, each with 3 image quality types (total: 120 series). The continuous confidence method by 10 observers detected 60 simulated tumors. RESULTS The detection sensitivities were 0.765, 0.785, and 0.260 for SD 8, SD 10, and SD 12, respectively (p<0.001) with no significantly different specificities, and the areas under the curve were 0.901, 0.892, and 0.616 (p<0.001), respectively. The simulated mass detection rates were 74.5%, 75.0%, and 21.5% for SD 8, SD 10, and SD 12, respectively (p<0.001), and the intraclass correlation coefficients, which indicate interobserver reliability, were 0.697 at SD 10 without signal, and SD 12 without a signal significantly dropped to 0.185. CONCLUSION Therefore, SD 12 images increase the possibility of overlooking lesions. Hence, image quality in the late arterial phase should be SD 10 or less.

Abstract
Although the liver is a regenerating organ, excessive loss of liver volume (LV) can cause fatal liver failure. It is unclear whether LV is correlated with age; however, it is known that liver function decreases with age. In addition, the gender-related role of LV remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the changes in LV by age and gender. Between January and December 2018, 374 consecutive patients who underwent abdominal multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for any abdominal examinations were enrolled. LV was evaluated using MDCT. The relationship between the LV and body mass index (BMI), body surface area (BSA), age, and gender was investigated. The modified LV (mLV) was calculated by a formula measured LV × 1.5/BSA. LV correlated to BSA more than to BMI in both the males (R: 0.559 vs. 0.416) and females (R: 0.479 vs. 0.300) in our study. Age was negatively correlated to LV and BSA, and correlated to LV more than to BSA in males (R: 0.546 vs. 0.393) and females (R: 0.506 vs. 0.385). In addition, the absolute slope between age and LV in the males was higher than that in the females (14.1 vs. 10.2, respectively). Furthermore, the absolute slope of age and mLV in the males was slightly higher than in the females (9.1 vs. 7.3, respectively). In conclusion, LV in the normal liver is correlated to age rather than the one in the diseased liver. Liver volume in the males decreased more with age than LV in the females.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an aggressive lung cancer accounting for approximately 85% of all lung cancer patients. For the patients with Stages IIIA, IIIB, and IIIC, the 5-year survival is low though with the combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. In addition, the occurrence of tumor cells (repopulated tumors) that survive irradiation remains a challenge. In our previous report, we subcloned the radiation-surviving tumor cells (IR cells) using the human NSCLC cell line, H1299, and found that the expression of neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) was upregulated in IR cells by the microarray analysis. Here, we investigated the contribution of neuropilin-1 to changes in the characteristics of IR cells. Although there were no differences in angiogenic activity in the tube formation assay between parental and IR cells, the cell motility was increased in IR cells compared to parental cells in the cell migration assay. This enhanced cell motility was suppressed by pretreatment with anti-NRP-1 antibody. Although further studies are necessary to identify other molecules associated with NRP-1, the increase in cellular motility in IR cells might be due to the contribution of NRP-1. Inhibition of NRP-1 would help control tumor malignancy in radiation-surviving NSCLC.

Abstract
The dynamic structure factorS(Q,E), whereQandEare momentum and energy transfer, respectively, has been measured for liquid Sb, using inelastic x-ray scattering. A modified damped harmonic oscillator model function was applied to analyseS(Q,E) of liquid Sb and also to that of liquid Bi by Inuiet al(2015Phys. Rev.B92, 054206). The obtained excitation energy was in fairly good agreement with that predicted byab initiomolecular dynamics simulations on these liquid semi-metals. The excitation energy of the longitudinal acoustic mode in liquid Sb and liquid Bi exhibits flat-toppedQdependence whereas the lower excitation energy below the longitudinal acoustic excitation showsQ-gap behaviour. From the viscosity estimated from theQ-gap experimentally obtained, it is inferred that the lower energy excitation arises from the transverse acoustic excitation in the liquids.

Abstract
This study investigated changes in serum levels of hepatic, bone, and intestinal alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzymes (ALP2, ALP3, and ALP5, respectively) in Holstein cows around parturition. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP5b) activity and calcium (Ca) concen-trations were also measured. We analyzed blood samples from 11 late-pregnant heifers (primipa-rous group) and 13 multiparous (2-4 lactations; multiparous group) cows at 3 weeks (18-24 days prepartum; -3 weeks), 2 weeks (17-11 days prepartum; -2 weeks), and 1 week (10-4 days prepar-tum; -1 weeks) before parturition; the day of calving (within 12 h post-calving; day 0); and 5 days postpartum (5 days). ALP3 activity was significantly higher in the primiparous group than in the multiparous group, whereas the activities decreased significantly in both groups after 5 days. ALP2 and ALP5 activities did not change, whereas ALP2 activity was significantly higher in the primiparous group than in the multiparous group. TRAP5b activity was significantly higher in the primiparous group than in the multiparous group and showed a transient significant increase at day 0. Ca concentration significantly decreased at day 0 in both groups; the Ca level at day 0 was significantly higher in the primiparous group than in the multiparous group. These data show that ALP3 activity in serum may indicate a change in osteoblastic bone forma-tion after calving, but further study is needed to determine the clinical application for measuring ALP isoenzymes in bovine medicine.

Abstract
A recent study found that an agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE) method yielded two distinct major bands corresponding to the hepatic and bone ALP isoenzymes (ALP2 and ALP3, respec-tively) in bovine serum treated with protease and neuraminidase (PN-treatment), although there were concerns that the intestinal ALP isoenzyme (ALP5) often overlapped with ALP3 in human serum treated with neuraminidase. Because ALP5 was separated from ALP3 in bovine serum treated with protease alone (P-treatment), we used a modified method employing both P- and PN-treated bovine sera to measure the activities of the three ALP isoenzymes in 53 lacta-ting Holstein cows: 24 primiparous and 29 multiparous. Upon electrophoresis, 51 of 53 samples (96.2%) subjected to P-treatment yielded a distinct fraction corresponding to ALP5, as did the control serum. All PN-treated sera yielded a definite ALP2 fraction. The ALP3 fraction was calculated as the remainder after excluding ALP2 and ALP5. The activities of total ALP (t-ALP) and ALP3 in primiparous cows were higher than those in multiparous cows (p ⟨ 0.001) at early-to-peak [10-110 days in milk (DIM)] and mid (111-220 DIM) lactation. In the multi-parous cows, the ALP3 activity at late lactation (221-477 DIM) was significantly higher than that at early-to-peak lactation. Thus, the modified AGE method described here is able to discrimi-nate three fractions of ALP isoenzymes in the sera of lactating cows. The AGE pattern of circu-lating ALP isoenzymes will contribute to the understanding of the physiological bone metabolism status in lactating cows.

Abstract
The influence of sulfinate agents applied as a dentin pretreatment or a mixture with multi-mode one-step self-etch adhesives (1-SEAs) on the degree of conversion (DC) and micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of light-cured 1-SEAs was investigated. 1-SEAs Clearfil Universal Bond Quick (UBQ) or Scotchbond Universal Adhesive (SBU) were applied to dentin in etch&rinse or self-etch mode using various application strategies: 1) no pretreatment, 2) pretreatment with 90 wt% ethanol, 3) pretreatment with a sulfinate agent Clearfil DC Activator (UDC) or Scotchbond Universal DCA (SDC), or 4) a mixture of UBQ+UDC or SBU+SDC. μTBS was measured after 24 h. Additionally, DC was measured using attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Pretreatment with sulfinate agents resulted in the highest μTBS and DC, significantly improving them especially in etch&rinse mode. The mixture of sulfinate agents with 1-SEAs was less effective. Pretreatment with ethanol significantly improved μTBS in etch&rinse mode but compromised μTBS in self-etch mode.

Abstract
Damaged regions of cylindrical shapes called ion tracks, typically in nano-meters wide and tens micro-meters long, are formed along the ion trajectories in many insulators, when high energy ions in the electronic stopping regime are injected. In most cases, the ion tracks were assumed as consequences of dense electronic energy deposition from the high energy ions, except some cases where the synergy effect with the nuclear energy deposition plays an important role. In crystalline Si (c-Si), no tracks have been observed with any monomer ions up to GeV. Tracks are formed in c-Si under 40 MeV fullerene (C60) cluster ion irradiation, which provides much higher energy deposition than monomer ions. The track diameter decreases with decreasing the ion energy until they disappear at an extrapolated value of ~ 17 MeV. However, here we report the track formation of 10 nm in diameter under C60 ion irradiation of 6 MeV, i.e., much lower than the extrapolated threshold. The diameters of 10 nm were comparable to those under 40 MeV C60 irradiation. Furthermore, the tracks formed by 6 MeV C60 irradiation consisted of damaged crystalline, while those formed by 40 MeV C60 irradiation were amorphous. The track formation was observed down to 1 MeV and probably lower with decreasing the track diameters. The track lengths were much shorter than those expected from the drop of Se below the threshold. These track formations at such low energies cannot be explained by the conventional purely electronic energy deposition mechanism, indicating another origin, e.g., the synergy effect between the electronic and nuclear energy depositions, or dual transitions of transient melting and boiling.

Abstract
The bonding performance of dental adhesives is most frequently evaluated using the micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) test. Despite lacking evidence, peripheral specimens are often discarded to avoid regional variability. This study, therefore, examined whether μTBS to central and peripheral dentin differed. Dentin surfaces of extracted human molars were bonded with various self-etch adhesives, built up with a resin composite, cut into beams, and stressed in tension. Failure mode was classified as adhesive, cohesive in dentin, or other using scanning electron microscopy. Since cohesive failures in dentin were frequent and could confound μTBS results, the data from central/peripheral dentin were analyzed using a Weibull competing risk (CR) model distinguishing failure modes, and its outcomes were compared to a conventional failure mode non-distinguishing Weibull model. Based on the strength data of cohesively failed specimens, the CR model also estimated the strength of dentin. For comparison, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of dentin was measured in both regions. The conventional model suggested that peripheral μTBS was higher than central μTBS. Conversely, the CR model disclosed no significant difference in μTBS between the regions but indicated a higher strength of peripheral dentin. This finding was confirmed by UTS measurements, and further supported by the significantly higher incidence of cohesive failures in central dentin. Therefore, peripheral specimens can be used in the μTBS test as well as central ones, but a CR model should be used for statistical analysis if cohesive failures in dentin are frequent, as the strength of peripheral dentin is higher.

Abstract
We report the elongation of embedded Au nanoparticles (NPs) in three different matrices, i.e. amorphous carbon (a-C), crystalline indium tin oxide (InxSn1-xOz; ITO) and crystalline calcium fluoride (CaF2), under irradiations of 4 MeV C60 + cluster ions and 200 MeV Xe14+ ions. Under 4 MeV C60 cluster irradiation, strong sputtering is induced in CaF2 layer so that the whole the layer was completely lost at a fluence of 5 × 1013 ions cm-2. Au NPs were partly observed in the SiO2, probably due to the recoil implantation. Amorphous carbon (a-C) layer exhibits low sputtering loss even under 4 MeV C60 irradiation. However, the elongation in a-C layer was low. While the ITO layer showed a certain decrease in thickness under 4 MeV C60 irradiation, large elongation of Au NPs was observed under both 4 MeV C60 and 200 MeV Xe irradiation. The ITO layer preserved the crystallinity even after large elongation was induced. This is the first report of the elongation of metal NPs in a crystalline matrix.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess whether fusion 3D-CTA images can be corrected using non-rigid registration (NRR) for gastroenterology imaging. METHODS This study included 55 patients before gastroenterology surgery who underwent preoperative 3D-CTA prior to gastroenterological surgery. We recorded the coordinate of measurement points on the arterial vessels (X, Y, and Z) in each portal phase, original image of the arterial phase, and arterial phase with NRR. The distance of misregistration between the two points was calculated with the coordinate of the original image with NRR and that of the portal phase as true value. RESULTS The distance of misregistration between the two points in the original arterial and portal phase images was significantly higher than that in the arterial phase image with NRR on all directions (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that NRR may correct misregistration on fusion 3D-CTA imaging. Hence, it can visualize correctly the anatomy of the vessel.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of light-illuminating direction (from composite or enamel side) on color adjustment at the coronal and cervical enamel borders in composite restorations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty cylindrical holes (3.0-mm diameters) were prepared in bovine enamel disks (1.0-mm thickness). After application of a one-step self-etch adhesive, one of four resin composites (Estelite Asteria, EA; Estelite Pro, EP; Kalore, KA; Clearfil Majesty ES-2 Premium, MJ) was restored in the holes. After 24-h storage, the colors (L*, C*, or h* values) at the restored enamel disks over a black background were measured in a black box using a CIE XYZ camera, spotted with D65 standard illuminant either from coronal or cervical side at 45°/0° geometry. The color shifting rate was calculated at the coronal and cervical enamel borders of the composite restorations, and analyzed by three-way ANOVA with Dunnett's T3 and t test for post hoc analysis (p < 0.05). RESULTS The light-illuminating directions significantly affected the L* shifting rate at the cervical enamel border in EP and MJ (p < 0.05), and the C* shifting rate at the coronal enamel border in EA, EP, and MJ (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The color appearance at the border of the composite restoration was influenced by the light-illuminating direction in conjunction with the enamel rod orientation in the coronal or cervical enamel border. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The line-of-vision angle would affect the perception of color adaptation at the enamel borders in the composite restorations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver resection has become safer as it has become less invasive. However, the minimum residual liver volume (RLV) required to maintain homeostasis is unclear. Furthermore, the formulae used to calculate standard liver volume (SLV) are complex.
AIM To review previously reported SLV formulae and the methods used to evaluate the minimum RLV, and explore the association between liver volume and mortality.
METHODS A systematic review of Medline, PubMed, and grey literature was performed. References in the retrieved articles were cross-checked manually to obtain further studies. The last search was conducted on January 20, 2019. We developed an SLV formula using data for 86 consecutive patients who underwent hepatectomy at our institution between July 2009 and August 2011.
RESULTS Linear regression analysis revealed the following formula: SLV (mL) = 822.7 × body surface area (BSA) − 183.2 (R2 = 0.419 and R = 0.644, P < 0.001). We retrieved 25 studies relating to SLV formulae and 12 studies about the RLV required for safe liver resection. Although the previously reported formulae included various coefficient and constant values, a simplified version of the SLV, the common SLV (cSLV), can be calculated as follows: cSLV (mL) = 710 or 770 × BSA. The minimum RLV for normal and damaged livers ranged from 20%-40% and 30%-50%, respectively. The Sapporo score indicated that the minimum RLV ranges from 35%-95% depending on liver function.
CONCLUSION We reviewed SLV formulae and the minimum RLV required for safe liver resection. The Sapporo score is the only liver function-based method for determining the minimum RLV.

Abstract
This study investigates the influence of a rapid heat treatment followed by water-quenching on the mechanical properties of Ti6Al4V ELI alloy to improve its strength for use in implants. Prior to the experiment, a dilatometry test was performed to understand the progressive α-to β-phase transformation taking place during heating. The results were then used to carry out heat treatments. Microstructure was analysed using SEM, EBSD, EDX and XRD techniques. Vickers micro-hardness, tensile and high cycle rotating bending tests were used to analyse the influence of the $\alpha'$-phase fraction on the strength of the studied alloy. Results show that this process can provide a Ti6Al4V ELI alloy with a better Yield Strength (YS)/uniform deformation (εu) ratio and improved high cycle fatigue strength than those observed in the current microstructure used in medical implants. Lastly, cytotoxicity tests were performed on two types of human cells, namely MG63 osteoblast-like cells and fibroblasts. The results reveal the non-toxicity of the heat-treated Ti6Al4V ELI alloy.

Abstract
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Routine resection of cavity shave margins has been shown in single center studies to result in a significant reduction in positive margin and re-excision rates. In this prospective multicenter randomized controlled trial, we sought to validate these findings across practice settings.
METHODS: Nine centers across the United States, varying in practice setting and patient population, participated in this clinical trial of 398 stage 0-III breast cancer patients undergoing partial mastectomy (with or without resection of selective cavity margins). Participants were stratified by clinical stage and randomized 1:1 to either have routine cavity shave margins resected (“shave”) or not (“no shave”). Randomization group was revealed to the surgeon intraoperatively, after they had completed their standard partial mastectomy and were ready to close. Positive margins were defined as “tumor at ink” for invasive cancer or within 2 mm for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Adverse events were defined as seromas requiring percutaneous drainage, and/or hematomas or abscesses requiring operative intervention.
RESULTS: Median patient age was 65 (range; 29-94). 116 patients had invasive disease, 74 had DCIS, 179 had both, and 29 had no residual cancer at the time of partial mastectomy. The median invasive cancer size was 1.2 cm (range; 0.05-8.00 cm); the median extent of DCIS was 0.9 cm (range; 0.05-6.40 cm). The “shave” and “no shave” groups were well matched at baseline for clinicopathologic and demographic factors.

Prior to randomization, positive margin rates were similar in the “shave” and “no shave” groups (38.1% vs. 37.3%, respectively, p=0.918). After randomization, however, those in the “shave” group were significantly less likely than those in the “no shave” group to have positive margins (8.6% vs. 37.3%, respectively, p<0.001). They were also less likely to require re-excision or mastectomy for margin clearance (8.6% vs. 23.9%, p<0.001). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of adverse events (p=0.280). Rates of seroma (1.5% vs. 0.5%, p=0.368), hematoma (0.5% vs. 0.5%, p=1.000) and abscess (0.3% vs. 0%, p=0.495) were similar between the “shave” and “no shave” groups, respectively.
CONCLUSION: Resection of cavity shave margins significantly reduces positive margin and re-excision rates in patients with stage 0-III breast cancer undergoing partial mastectomy.

Abstract
Improved detection of breast cancer using highly sensitive, tumor-specific imaging would facilitate diagnosis, surveillance and assessment of response to treatment. We conjugated osteopontin peptide to an infrared fluorescent dye to serve as a contrast agent for detection of breast cancer by multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT). Selective binding of the osteopontin-based probe was identified using flow cytometry and near infrared fluorescent imaging in triple negative and HER2 positive breast cancer cell lines in vitro. Osteopontin-750 accumulation was evaluated in vivo using MSOT with secondary confirmation of signal accumulation using near infrared fluorescent imaging. The osteopontin-based probe demonstrated binding to breast cancer cells in vitro. Similarly, after intravenous administration of the osteopontin-750 probe, it accumulated preferentially in the subcutaneous breast tumor in nude mice (557 MSOT a.u. compared to untargeted organs such as kidney (53.7 MSOT a.u.) and liver (32.1 MSOT a.u.). At 2.5 h post-injection, signal intensity within the tumor was 9.7 and 17 times greater in the tumor bed than in the kidney or liver, respectively. Fluorescence imaging ex vivo comparing tumor signal to that of nontarget organs confirmed the results in vivo. MSOT imaging demonstrated selective accumulation of the fluorescent osteopontin targeting probe to tumor sites both in vitro and in vivo, and provided high-resolution images. Further development of this tool is promising for advanced diagnostic imaging, disease surveillance and therapeutic models that limit nontarget toxicity.

Abstract
We evaluated the effect of different curing strategies for universal adhesives on micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) between resin cement and dentin and/or between resin cement and indirect resin composite. Flat coronal dentin surfaces and composite resin disks were pretreated with silane-containing universal adhesives, with or without light-curing on the dentin-side and/or composite resin disk-side. Resin disks were luted onto the pretreated dentin surfaces with the corresponding dual-cure adhesive resin cements and light-cured, and cut into beams after 24-h water storage. After 0 or 10,000 thermocycles (5ºC/55ºC) in a water bath, the μTBS of the composite resin disk-dentin beam was tested. The μTBS was highest when universal adhesives were applied to both the dentin- and the indirect composite resin disk-side, followed by light-curing. Thermocycling decreased μTBS in all but the Scotchbond Universaltreated group, with light-curing on both sides. The effect of curing strategies is dependent upon the materials.

Abstract
PURPOSE We developed a novel digital phantom-creation tool that will help formulate the standard shooting method for a three-phase dynamic liver study. Here, we present data demonstrating the usefulness of this tool in the assessment of low-contrast detectability and visibility. METHODS We performed a visual evaluation by adding a spherical digital phantom with a diameter of 8 mm and a computed tomography (CT) value difference of 10 Hounsfield unit (HU) to images taken using filtered back projection and seven types of adaptive iterative dose reduction 3D (Weak, Mild, eMild, Standard, eStandard, Strong, and eStrong). We also examined the partial-volume effect by drawing a profile curve using a digital phantom with a CT value difference of 30 HU and a diameter of 5 mm. Furthermore, a digital phantom with two kinds of filters (smoothing and Gaussian) was added to the image of the home-made simulated tumor phantom to visual valuate its visibility in the phantom's low-contrast module and the digital phantom. RESULTS Detection sensitivity was significantly decreased in Standard, eStandard, Strong, and eStrong, and the area under the curve also decreased in a similar fashion. We confirmed that the partial-volume effect was due to the different maximum CT values in the profile curve at 4 and 5 mm thickness. The visibility of the low-contrast module and digital phantom was most consistent when using the Gaussian filter. CONCLUSION This tool can be used for low-contrast detection ability evaluation.

Abstract
Testis-ova differentiation in sexually mature male medaka (Oryzias latipes) is easily induced by estrogenic chemicals, indicating that spermatogonia persist in sexual bipotentiality, even in mature testes in medaka. By contrast, the effects of estrogen on testicular somatic cells associated with testis-ova differentiation in medaka remain unclear. In this study, we focused on the dynamics of sex-related genes (Gsdf, Dmrt1, and Foxl2) expressed in Sertoli cells in the mature testes of adult medaka during estrogen-induced testis-ova differentiation. When mature male medaka were exposed to estradiol benzoate (EB; 800ng/L), testis-ova first appeared after EB treatment for 14days (observed as the first oocytes of the leptotene-zygotene stage). However, the testis remained structurally unchanged, even after EB treatment for 28days. Although Foxl2 is a female-specific sex gene, EB treatment for 7days induced Foxl2/FOXL2 expression in all Sertoli cell-enclosed spermatogonia before testis-ova first appeared; however, Foxl2 was not detected in somatic cells in control testes. Conversely, Sertoli-cell-specific Gsdf mRNA expression levels significantly decreased after EB treatment for 14days, and no changes were observed in DMRT1 localization following EB treatment, whereas Dmrt1 mRNA levels increased significantly. Furthermore, after EB exposure, FOXl2 and DMRT1 were co-localized in Sertoli cells during testis-ova differentiation, although FOXL2 localization was undetectable in Sertoli-cell-enclosed apoptotic testis-ova, whereas DMRT1 remained localized in Sertoli cells. These results indicated for the first time that based on the expression of female-specific sex genes, feminization of Sertoli cells precedes testis-ova differentiation induced by estrogen in mature testes in medaka; however, complete feminization of Sertoli cells was not induced in this study. Additionally, it is suggested strongly that Foxl2 and Gsdf expression constitute potential molecular markers for evaluating the effects of estrogenic chemicals on testicular somatic cells associated with estrogen-induced testis-ova differentiation in mature male medaka.

Abstract
We report probability distributions of the number of secondary ions (SIs) emitted by sub-MeV C60 ion impacts on an organic polymer target and the characterization of their emission processes through the analysis of the distributions. The probability distributions were obtained by analyzing experimental SI counting data obtained by a time-of-flight SI mass spectrometer combined with pulsed primary ion beams, using an analytical model developed to derive the distributions from the experimental data. A series of probability distribution functions was investigated for ion impacts of C60 with sub-MeV energies (0.12-0.54 MeV), which can provide sufficient SIs per impact to determine the functions. Their complicated and undefined SI emission processes were characterized based on the determined functions.

Abstract
Preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography (3DCT) of the liver is the most important examination in performing preoperative simulation. Detailed visualization of the portal vein using the workstation is critical to enable accurate liver segmentation. However, the timing of imaging in the portal venous phase has mostly been reported equivalent to that of the liver screening examinations commonly performed. The purpose of this study was to examine the optimal timing of image capture to create the best portal vein visualization in preoperative 3DCT of the liver. Seventy-nine patients who underwent hepatectomy for malignant liver tumors were enrolled in this study. All patients were preoperatively examined using protocol A (imaging method separated into a portal venous phase and a hepatic venous phase) and then examined 1 week after surgery using protocol B (normal liver screening protocol). We first established the regions of interest in the portal vein and the hepatic vein and then compared CT values for these regions under protocol A and protocol B. The average CT value of the portal vein in protocol A and B was 239.8±28.1 HU and 202.2±18.5 HU, respectively. The average CT value of the portal vein in protocol A was significantly higher compared with protocol B (p<0.01). By introducing separate timing for portal venous phase imaging before preoperative 3DCT (protocol A), it is possible to satisfactorily depict the portal vein.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the effectiveness of a dicalcium and tetracalcium phosphate-based desensitizer in reducing dentin permeability in vitro. Dentin fluid flow was measured before and after treatment of dentin with patent dentinal tubules using 1 or 3 applications of the dicalcium and tetracalcium phosphate containing agent TeethmateTM (TM) and comparing the results with two sodium fluoride varnishes VellaTM (VLA) and VanishTM (VAN), after storage in artificial saliva for 24 h, 48 h and 7 days. Significant differences were observed among the 4 methods employed for reducing dentin permeability (p < 0.001) and the 3 post-treatment times (p < 0.001). VLA and VAN never achieved 50% permeability reductions consistently in any of the 3 time periods. Only the calcium phosphate-based desensitizer applied for 3 times consistently reduced dentin permeability by 50% after 24 h. When applied once, the permeability reduction of TM increased progressively over the 3 time periods. After 7 days, only one and three applications of the calcium phosphate-based desensitizer consistently reduced dentin permeability by more than 50%. Permeability reductions corresponded well with scanning electron microscopy examination of dentinal tubule orifice occlusion in dentin specimens treated with the agents. Overall, the dicalcium and tetracalcium phosphate-based desensitizer is effective in reducing dentin permeability via a tubule occlusion mechanism. The ability of the agent to reduce dentin permeability renders it to be potentially useful as a clinical dentin desensitizing agent, which has to be confirmed in future clinical studies. By contrast, the two sodium fluoride varnishes are not effective in dentin permeability reduction and should be considered as topical fluoride delivering agents rather than tubular orifice-blocking agents.

Abstract
During dentin bonding with etch-and-rinse adhesive systems, phosphoric acid etching of mineralized dentin solubilizes the mineral crystallites and replaces them with bound and unbound water. During the infiltration phase of dentin bonding, solvated adhesive resin comonomers are supposed to replace all of the unbound collagen water and polymerize into copolymers. A recently published review suggested that dental monomers are too large to enter and displace water from tightly-packed collagen molecules. Conversely, recent work from the authors' laboratory demonstrated that HEMA and TEGDMA freely equilibrate with water-saturated dentin matrices. However, because adhesive blends are solvated in organic solvents, those solvents may remove enough free water to allow collagen molecules to come close enough to exclude adhesive monomer permeation. The present study analyzed the size-exclusion characteristics of dentin collagen, using a gel permeation-like column chromatography technique, filled with dentin powder instead of Sephadex beads as the stationary phase. The elution volumes of different sized test molecules, including adhesive resin monomers, studied in both water-saturated dentin, and again in ethanol-dehydrated dentin powder, showed that adhesive resin monomers can freely diffuse into both hydrated and dehydrated collagen molecules. Under these in vitro conditions, all free and some of the loosely-bound water seems to have been removed by ethanol. These results validate the concept that adhesive resin monomers can permeate tightly-bound water in ethanol-saturated collagen molecules during infiltration by etch-and-rinse adhesives. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE It has been reported that collagen molecules in dentin matrices are packed too close together to allow permeation of adhesive monomers between them. Resin infiltration, in this view, would be limited to extrafibrillar spaces. Our work suggests that monomers equilibrate with collagen water in both water and ethanol-saturated dentin matrices.

Abstract
PURPOSE This review describes the evolution of the use of dental adhesives to form a tight seal of freshly prepared dentin to protect the pulp from bacterial products, during the time between crown preparation and final cementation of full crowns. The evolution of these "immediate dentin sealants" follows the evolution of dental adhesives, in general. That is, they began with multiple-step, etch-and-rinse adhesives, and then switched to the use of simplified adhesives. METHODS Literature was reviewed for evidence that bacteria or bacterial products diffusing across dentin can irritate pulpal tissues before and after smear layer removal. Smear layers can be solubilized by plaque organisms within 7-10 days if they are directly exposed to oral fluids. It is likely that smear layers covered by temporary restorations may last more than 1 month. As long as smear layers remain in place, they can partially seal dentin. Thus, many in vitro studies evaluating the sealing ability of adhesive resins use smear layer-covered dentin as a reference condition. Surprisingly, many adhesives do not seal dentin as well as do smear layers. RESULTS Both in vitro and in vivo studies show that resin- covered dentin allows dentin fluid to cross polymerized resins. The use of simplified single bottle adhesives to seal dentin was a step backwards. Currently, most authorities use either 3-step adhesives such as Scotchbond Multi-Purpose or OptiBond FL or two-step self-etching primer adhesives, such as Clearfil SE, Unifil Bond or AdheSE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of 2% CHX and 2% CHX-methacrylate compared to the resin-dentin bonds created by a two-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system after 24h, 6min and 12min. METHODS Microtensile bond strengths and interfacial nanoleakage within resin-dentin interfaces created by Adper Single Bond 2, with or without CHX or CHX-methacrylate pre-treatment for 30s on acid-etched dentin surfaces, were evaluated after 24h, 6min and 12min of storage in distilled water at 37°C. RESULTS Twelve months of storage resulted in a significant decrease in microtensile bond strength in the control group, and significant increases in silver nanoleakage. In contrast, Single Bond 2+CHX, and to a greater extent CHX-methacrylate, significantly reduced the rate of deterioration of resin-dentin interfaces over the 12min water storage period, in terms of bond strength. CONCLUSIONS Similar to Single Bond 2+CHX, Single Bond+CHX-methacrylates reduced the degradation of resin-bonded interfaces over a 12 month storage period. Thus it can be concluded that Single Bond 2+CHX-methacrylate may be important to improve durability of bonded interfaces and therefore, prolong the life span of adhesive restorations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Although CHX primers have been shown to enhance the durability of etch-and-rinse adhesives, that protection is lost after 2h. The use of CHX-methacrylate should last much longer since it may copolymerize with adhesive monomers, unlike CHX.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether the application of ethanol to a two-step self-etching adhesive can improve its resin-dentin bond performance. METHODS Four different ethanol concentrations were added to the adhesive of Clearfil SE Bond to create four ethanol primers (40, 60, 80 or 100% ethanol). 24 extracted third molars were divided into four groups. Each group corresponded to one of the four hydrophobic ethanol primer concentrations. The teeth in the control group were bonded with Clearfil SE Bond according to the manufacturer's instructions. The primed teeth in the experimental groups were treated with the ethanol primer prior to application of the solvent-free adhesive. Microtensile bond strengths (mTBS) were tested 24 hours after specimen preparation. Another 14 teeth were bonded using the same methods to evaluate mTBS after 1 year. Nanoleakage was evaluated under field-emission scanning electron microscopy before and after aging. RESULTS In the 24-hour group, the mTBS in the 60% ethanol/40% adhesive primer group increased significantly (21.6%, P < 0.05) over the no ethanol control. After 12-month water storage, the bond strength of that experimental group was still higher than that of the control group (19.5%, P < 0.05). Before aging, the nanoleakage was clearly seen in the control group but hardly any was seen in the experimental group. After aging, the nanoleakage increase in the experimental group was much less than that in the control group.

Abstract
We developed time-of-flight (TOF) secondary ion (SI) mass spectrometry that provides informative SI ion mass spectra without needing a sophisticated ion beam pulsing system. In the newly developed spectrometry, energetic large cluster ions with energies of the order of sub MeV or greater are used as primary ions. Because their impacts on the target surface produce high yields of SIs, the resulting SI mass spectra are informative. In addition, the start signals necessary for timing information on primary ion incidence are provided by the detection signals of particles emitted from the rear surface of foil targets upon transmission of the primary ions. This configuration allows us to obtain positive and negative TOF SI mass spectra without pulsing system, which requires precise control of the primary ions to give the spectra with good mass resolution. We also successfully applied the TOF SI mass spectrometry with energetic cluster ion impacts to the chemical structure characterization of organic thin film targets.

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.

Abstract
Growing experimental evidence suggests that mechanical tension plays a significant role in determining the growth, guidance, and function of neurons. Mechanical tension in axons contributes to neurotransmitter clustering at the Drosophila neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and is actively regulated by neurons both in vitro and in vivo. In this work, we applied mechanical strain on in vivo Drosophila neurons and in vitro Aplysia neurons and studied their vesicle dynamics by live-imaging. Our experiments show that mechanical stretch modulates the dynamics of vesicles in two different model systems: (1) The global accumulation of synaptic vesicles (SV) at the Drosophila NMJ and (2) the local motion of individual large dense core vesicles (LDCV) in Aplysia neurites. Specifically, a sustained stretch results in enhanced SV accumulation in the Drosophila NMJ. This increased SV accumulation occurs in the absence of extracellular Ca(2+), plateaus after approximately 50 min, and persists for at least 30 min after stretch is reduced. On the other hand, mechanical compression in Aplysia neurites immediately disrupts LDCV motion, leading to decreased range and processivity. This impairment of LDCV motion persists for at least 15 min after tension is restored. These results show that mechanical stretch modulates both local and global vesicle dynamics and strengthens the notion that tension serves a role in regulating neuronal function.

Abstract
We report suitable secondary ion (SI) counting for surface-sensitive chemical analysis of organic compounds using time-of-flight (TOF) SI mass spectroscopy, based on considerably higher emission yields of SIs induced by cluster ion impact ionization. A SI counting system for a TOF SI mass spectrometer was developed using a fast digital storage oscilloscope, which allows us to perform various types of analysis as all the signal pulses constituting TOF SI mass spectra can be recorded digitally in the system. Effects of the SI counting strategy on SI mass spectra were investigated for C(8) and C(60) cluster ion impacts on an organically contaminated silicon wafer and on polytetrafluoroethylene targets by comparing TOF SI mass spectra obtained from the same recorded signals with different SI counting procedures. Our results show that the use of a counting system, which can cope with high SI yields, is necessary for quantitative analysis of SI mass spectra obtained under high SI yield per impact conditions, including the case of cluster ion impacts on organic compounds.

Abstract
AbstractTEM specimens of PREPed Ti -48 at.% Al powders can be prepared reproducibly in a straight-forward manner. There are two kinds of powders with respect to surface and crosssectional morphologies. One is with an Widmanstitten-like structure and or a surface relief of martensitic phase and the other is with a dendritic structure. The primary phase during solidification and relative cooling rate in both the powders are discussed by comparing the macroscopic and microscopic features.
