Abstract
Hypomagnesemia is a characteristic adverse event of cetuximab in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). However, there is limited information about its prevalence, risk factors, and preventive strategies. This study aimed to investigate the risk factors of hypomagnesemia and examine the preventive effects of prophylactic magnesium (Mg) administration. We initially investigated HNC patients treated with cetuximab between 2013 and 2019. Our institute started prophylactic Mg treatment (20-mEq Mg sulfate administration before cetuximab) in practice during this period. We retrospectively assess the preventive efficacy by comparing patients before and after its implementation. In total, 109 patients were included. In 60 patients without prophylaxis, all-grade and grade ≥2 hypomagnesemia at 3 months occurred in 61.7 and 15.0% of patients. The incidence of hypomagnesemia was not affected by regimens and concomitant medications. In 49 patients treated with prophylactic Mg treatment, there was no significant decrease in the cumulative incidence of hypomagnesemia. However, the preventive Mg treatment eliminated the need for additional Mg repletion to maintain Mg levels in patients treated with paclitaxel + cetuximab. A risk factor in patients without prophylaxis was a low Mg level at pre-treatment (≤2.0 mg/dL) (odds ratio: 6.03, 95% confidence interval: 1.78-20.4, p = 0.004), whereas that in patients with prophylaxis was the number of cetuximab doses (≥10) (odds ratio: 5.50, 95% confidence interval: 1.52-19.87, p = 0.009). In conclusion, a low pre-treatment Mg level was the only risk factor that could be avoided by prophylactic Mg administration. This preventive intervention is recommended for managing cetuximab-induced hypomagnesemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent advances in immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have highlighted the need for effective management of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). This study aimed to conduct a systematic surveillance of real-world development of irAEs for understanding their characteristics and examine the prognostic impact of steroid use for these events. METHODS We retrospectively investigated cancer patients treated with ICIs between 2014 and 2021 and collected information about irAEs throughout their development, management, and clinical outcomes. RESULTS Overall, 458 patients (45.4%) developed 670 irAEs. The prevalence of irAEs varied by cancer type, but it was increased in regimens with longer treatment durations. Severe irAEs were more common in the nivolumab + ipilimumab and pembrolizumab + axitinib regimens. Patients who received steroids for irAEs at a dosage of < 2 mg/kg had comparable prognosis to those who did not receive steroids; however, patients who received methylprednisolone pulse therapy, primarily for severe pneumonitis and hepatitis, had shorter overall survival than those who did not receive steroids (7.8 versus 23.4 months, p = 0.016). Furthermore, methylprednisolone pulse therapy for irAEs was a poor prognostic factor in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio: 2.19, 95% confidence interval: 1.34-2.86, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Steroid treatment for irAE does not affect prognosis and should thus be used promptly to control inflammation. However, pulse therapy for severe cases is a poor prognostic factor, and early detection remains the key to managing such irAEs. The irAE characteristics in each regimen should be clarified to establish and provide more sophisticated irAE management, and the current findings will be beneficial to this goal.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) has a poor prognosis. Given the recent approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors for several cancer types, we carried out a multicenter phase II study to assess the efficacy of nivolumab for patients with CUP. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with CUP who were previously treated with at least one line of systemic chemotherapy constituted the principal study population. Previously untreated patients with CUP were also enrolled for exploratory analysis. Nivolumab (240 mg/body) was administered every 2 weeks for up to 52 cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response rate in previously treated patients as determined by blinded independent central review according to RECIST version 1.1. RESULTS Fifty-six patients with CUP were enrolled in the trial. For the 45 previously treated patients, objective response rate was 22.2% [95% confidence interval (CI), 11.2% to 37.1%], with a median progression-free survival and overall survival of 4.0 months (95% CI, 1.9-5.8 months) and 15.9 months (95% CI, 8.4-21.5 months), respectively. Similar clinical benefits were also observed in the 11 previously untreated patients. Better clinical efficacy of nivolumab was apparent for tumors with a higher programmed death-ligand 1 expression level, for those with a higher tumor mutation burden, and for microsatellite instability-high tumors. In contrast, no differences in efficacy were apparent between tumor subgroups based on estimated tissue of origin. Adverse events were consistent with the known safety profile of nivolumab. No treatment-related death was observed. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate a clinical benefit of nivolumab for patients with CUP, suggesting that nivolumab is a potential additional therapeutic option for CUP.

Background
The sequential or concurrent use of two different types of agents such as anthracyclines and trastuzumab may increase myocardial injury and cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD), which is often the result of the combined detrimental effect of the two therapies for breast cancer patients. For risk stratification to detect the development of CTRCD, the current position paper from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) lists several factors associated with risk of cardiotoxicity.
Purpose
Our purpose was to investigate the impact of baseline risk factors on left ventricular (LV) function in patients with preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF) who have undergone chemotherapy for breast cancer.
Methods
We studied 86 breast cancer patients treated with anthracyclines, trastuzumab, or both. Mean age was 59 ± 13 years and LVEF was 67 ± 5%. In accordance with the current definition, CTRCD was defined as a decline in LVEF of >10% to an absolute value of <53% after chemotherapy. Based on the 2016 ESC position paper, clinical risk factors for CTRCD were defined as: (1) a cumulative total doxorubicin dose of ≥ 240mg/m², (2) age ≥ 65-year-old, (3) body mass index ≥ 30kg/m², (4) a previous history of radiation therapy to chest or mediastinum, (5) B-type natriuretic peptide ≥ 100pg/mL, (6) a previous history of cardiovascular disease, (7) atrial fibrillation, (8) hypertension, (9) diabetes mellitus, (10) current or ex-smoker.
Results
The relative decrease in LVEF after chemotherapy for patients with more than four risk factors was significantly greater than that for patients without (-9.3 ± 10.8% vs. -2.2 ± 10.2%; p = 0.02). However, this finding did not apply to patients with more than one, two or three risk factors. Patients with more than four risk factors also tended to show a higher prevalence of CTRCD than those without (14.3% vs. 2.8%, p = 0.12). Moreover, patients with more than four risk factors were more likely to have higher LV mass index (109.3 ± 29.0g/m² vs. 83.2 ± 21.0g/m², p < 0.001), lower global longitudinal strain (18.4 ± 2.8% vs. 20.0 ± 2.6%, p = 0.06) and higher E/e’ (10.4 (8.9-13.0) vs. 9.0 (7.4-10.9), p = 0.06) compared to those without.
Furthermore, receiver-operator characteristics curve analysis showed that an optimal cut off value of a cumulative total doxorubicin dose for developing LV dysfunction in patients with more than any of four risk factors was lower than that in those without (180 mg/m² vs. 280 mg/m²).
Conclusions
Association between clinical risk factors and LV dysfunction following chemotherapy became stronger with an increase in the number of risk factors in breast cancer patients, and was especially strong for patients treated with chemotherapy who had more than four risk factors. Our findings can thus be expected to have clinical implications for better management of patients with breast cancer referred for chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral intravenous injection of gemcitabine often causes vascular pain; however, preventive measures have not yet been established. OBJECTIVES This study focused on identifying predictive factors for gemcitabine-induced vascular pain. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed risk factors for developing vascular pain in patients with pancreatic cancer receiving gemcitabine infusions at our institution. Infusions were divided into groups according to presence or absence of vascular pain symptoms, and variables were compared. Odds ratios for risk factors were calculated using logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Overall, 272 patients with pancreatic cancer were subjected to 725 gemcitabine infusions, and of these, 18.4% (n = 50) experienced vascular pain. There were significant differences in the gemcitabine dose (P = 0.025), dose of gemcitabine/body surface area (BSA; P = 0.004), concentration of gemcitabine (P = 0.025), and hot pack use (P = 0.011) between the vascular pain and no vascular pain groups. Multivariable analyses indicated that gemcitabine dose/BSA and lack of hot pack use were risk factors for developing vascular pain. Moreover, on administration of a higher dosage (>930 mg/m2), the incidence of vascular pain in patients using a hot pack (6.7%) was significantly lower than that in patients not provided a hot pack (16.2%). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE High gemcitabine dosages and lack of hot pack use were predictive factors for gemcitabine-induced vascular pain in patients with pancreatic cancer. Patients receiving gemcitabine treatment should apply a hot pack to the injection site. Scrupulous clinical attention is required for patients presenting with these risk factors to improve pain management.

Abstract
Abstract
pH-responsive polymers are attracting much interest from researchers because of their wide application potentials in areas like biosensor, bioseparator, bioreactor, biocatalysis, drug delivery, and water treatments. In this investigation a two-step process is evaluated to prepare carboxyl(–COOH) functional submicrometer-sized pH-responsive composite polymer particles. First, submicrometer-sized polystyrene (PS) particles are prepared by a modified conventional dispersion polymerization. In the second step, PS/poly(methacrylic acid-acrylamide-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) [PS/P(MAA-AAm-EGDMA)] composite polymer particles are synthesized by seeded co-polymerization of methacrylic acid, acrylamide, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate in the presence of PS seed particles. The size distributions and morphologies analyzed by electron micrographs suggested that seeded copolymerization smoothly occurred without formation of any secondary tiny copolymer particles. The surface composition and functionality are confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance. The hydrodynamic diameter increased with the increase in pH values as part of the carboxyl groups are deprotonated, which favored the swelling of copolymer layer formed around the surface of PS particles. The adsorption of cationic and anionic surfactants at two different pH values showed that adsorption of cationic surfactant is favored at higher pH value whereas that of anionic surfactant is favored at lower pH value.

Abstract
The most recent version of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) consensus guidelines for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) was published in 2016, identifying both a more strategic approach to the administration of the available systemic therapy choices, and a greater emphasis on the use of ablative techniques, including surgery. At the 2016 ESMO Asia Meeting, in December 2016, it was decided by both ESMO and the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO) to convene a special guidelines meeting, endorsed by both ESMO and JSMO, immediately after the JSMO 2017 Annual Meeting. The aim was to adapt the ESMO consensus guidelines to take into account the ethnic differences relating to the toxicity as well as other aspects of certain systemic treatments in patients of Asian ethnicity. These guidelines represent the consensus opinions reached by experts in the treatment of patients with mCRC identified by the Presidents of the oncological societies of Japan (JSMO), China (Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology), Korea (Korean Association for Clinical Oncology), Malaysia (Malaysian Oncological Society), Singapore (Singapore Society of Oncology) and Taiwan (Taiwan Oncology Society). The voting was based on scientific evidence and was independent of both the current treatment practices and the drug availability and reimbursement situations in the individual participating Asian countries.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: In recent years, anti-PD-1 antibody, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, has been developed for the treatment of various types of cancer, including breast cancer. Synergistic effects of nivolumab, paclitaxel and bevacizumab are expected, based on various preclinical data, when these drugs are administered in combination. A biomarker study is ongoing to evaluate the immune status of patients participating in the NEWBEAT trial, which is a phase II trial of nivolumab + paclitaxel + bevacizumab therapy as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic or recurrent HER2-negative breast cancer. Methods: HER2-negative breast cancer patients from the WJOG9917B (NEWBEAT) trial are enrolled in this biomarker study. To explore new biomarkers for combined treatment of breast cancer with immune-checkpoint inhibitors and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor antibodies, we propose to conduct multicolor immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays for immunomonitoring of the intra-tumor environment, such as the expressions of PD-L1, CD4 and CD8. Blood samples are collected before the start of treatment and at four time-points during the treatment, to determine, using a multicolor flow cytometry panel, the numbers of circulating immunosuppressive cells, such as regulatory T cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tumor-associated macrophages (M2). In the NEWBEAT trial, patients receive nivolumab 240 mg/body on days 1 and 15, paclitaxel 90 mg/m2 on days 1, 8 and 15, and bevacizumab 10 mg/kg on days 1 and 15 every 4 weeks until disease progression. The primary endpoint is the objective response rate, and the key secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, overall survival, and toxicity of the protocol treatment. A total of 51 patients will be enrolled and the enrollment period will be one year. This trial opened to accrual in February 2018. Clinical trial registry number: UMIN000029590

Abstract
Essentials Emicizumab mimics factor (F)VIIIa cofactor function, augments the intrinsic tenase activity. We assessed the emicizumab-driven hemostatic function in FXI-deficient plasmas. Emicizumab improved the coagulation potentials in severe FXI-deficient plasma. Emicizumab may provide a possibility for clinical application in patients with FXI deficiency. SUMMARY: Background Patients with factor (F)XI deficiency commonly present with markedly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin times (APTT), although bleeding phenotypes are heterogeneous. Emicizumab, a bispecific monoclonal antibody to FIX/FIXa and FX/FXa, mimics FVIIIa cofactor function on phospholipid (PL) surfaces. Antibody reactions were designed, therefore, to augment mechanisms during the propagation phase of blood coagulation. Aim To assess emicizumab-driven hemostatic function in FXI-deficient plasmas. Methods and Results Standard ellagic acid (Elg)/PL-based APTTs of different FXI-deficient plasmas (n = 13; FXI activity, < 1 IU dl-1 ) were markedly shortened dose dependently by the presence of emicizumab. To further analyze the effects of emicizumab, clot waveform analysis (CWA) in FXI-deficient plasmas with emicizumab, triggered by tissue factor (TF)/Elg demonstrated improvements in both clot times, reflecting the initiation phase, and coagulation velocity, which represents the propagation phase. Emicizumab also enhanced the TF/Elg-triggered thrombin generation in FXI-deficient plasmas dose-dependently although the degree of enhancement varied in individual cases. Thrombin generation with either FVII-deficient plasma or FIX-deficient plasma treated with anti-FXI antibody showed little or no increase by the co-presence of emicizumab, suggesting that the accelerated thrombin generation in FXI-deficient plasmas by emicizumab should depend on the FIXa-involved coagulation propagation initially triggered by FVIIa/TF. The ex vivo addition of emicizumab to whole blood from three patients with severe FXI deficiency demonstrated modest, dose-dependent improvements in Ca2+ -triggered thromboelastograms (NATEM mode). Conclusion Emicizumab appeared to improve coagulation function in severe FXI-deficient plasma, and might provide possibilities for clinical application in patients with FXI deficiency.

Abstract
Only limited epidemiological evidence exists regarding the relationship between diabetic neuropathy and erectile dysfunction (ED) among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. To investigate the relationship between diabetic neuropathy and ED among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, a multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted in 287 male Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, age (19-65 years). Diabetic neuropathy was diagnosed if the patients showed two or more of the following three characteristics: neuropathic symptoms, decreased or disappeared Achilles tendon reflex and/or abnormal vibration perception. ED, moderate to severe ED, and severe ED were defined as present when a subject had a Sexual Health Inventory for Men score <22, <12 and <8, respectively. The prevalence values of diabetic neuropathy and severe ED were 47.0 and 39.0%, respectively. Diabetic neuropathy was independently positively associated with severe ED, but not ED and moderate ED: the adjusted odds ratio was 1.90 (95% confidence interval: 1.08-3.38). No relationships were found between diabetic retinopathy or diabetic nephropathy and ED. Diabetic neuropathy is positively associated with severe erectile dysfunction among Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients aged <65 years.

Abstract
Transvenous embolization of venous compartments within the venous sinus wall was the method initially attempted for closing dural arteriovenous fistulas in 15 patients (22 sinuses). The venous channel, separate from the sinus lumen and located in the venous sinus wall, could be embolized in 6 lesions (3 patients), including 3 superior sagittal sinus fistulas, 2 transverse sinus fistulas, and 1 straight sinus fistula. This technique resulted in closure of the fistulas and preservation of sinus patency as well as immediate improvement of clinical symptoms. The embolizable venous compartment of the fistula within the venous sinus wall could be detected by preoperative angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and intraoperative venography. This unique drainage of dural arteriovenous fistulas may develop concurrently with more obvious portions of the fistula. Transvenous embolization of these venous compartments can close the fistulas and normalize impaired sinus function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical phenotype of von Willebrand disease (VWD) is heterogeneous, and von Willebrand factor ristocetin cofactor activity (VWF:RCo) does not always reflect clinical severity, especially in VWD type 1. We have reported the potential of a microchip flow-chamber system (Total-Thrombus Formation Analysis System [T-TAS®]) for assessing physiologic hemostasis in VWD. Aim To evaluate the relationship between T-TAS, bleeding score (BS) and laboratory test results in type 1 VWD patients. METHODS Microchips coated with collagen (platelet chip [PL-chip]) or collagen/thromboplastin (AR-chip) were used to assess platelet thrombus formation (PTF) at high shear rates or fibrin-rich PTF at low shear rates, respectively, in whole blood from 50 patients. The times needed for the flow pressure to increase by 10 kPa and 30 kPa (T10 and T30 ) from baseline were calculated from flow pressure curves. BS was determined by the use of a standardized questionnaire. RESULTS PL-T10 values correlated with BS (R(2) ~ 0.45) better than VWF:RCo (R(2) ~ 0.36), irrespective of the flow rate, whereas AR-T10 showed only a weak correlation with BS (R(2) ~ 0.18). Patients with PL-T10 > 10 min or AR-T10 > 30 min had lower VWF levels and higher BS than those with PL-T10 ≤ 10 min or AR-T10 ≤ 30 min, and the greatest differences were observed with PL-T10. Clinical severity appeared to correlate best with PL-T10 > 8 min. BS was significantly higher in patients with VWF:RCo of < 10 IU dL(-1) than in those with VWF:RCo of 10 IU dL(-1) to < 25 IU dL(-1) and 25-40 IU dL(-1). In patients with VWF:RCo of < 10 IU dL(-1) , BS was significantly higher in those with PL-T10 > 8 min than in those with PL-T10 ≤ 8 min. CONCLUSION T-TAS could be a useful technique for discriminating and predicting BS in VWD type 1 patients.

Abstract
A liquid helium-free, compact and continuous sub-terahertz radiation system operating at 77 K has been developed using a rectangular mesa device made from a high T(c)-superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O(8+δ) single crystal, based on a different design of a stand-alone mesa sandwich structure to reduce the dc-current Joule heating effects. The mesa was thermally connected to sapphire plates through thin thermal grease embedded with diamond nano-crystals. When immersed in liquid N 2, the device emits intense radiation at 0.437 THz, the highest frequency ever achieved at 77 K, due to excitation of the TM(1, 0) rectangular cavity mode. By varying the dc current-voltage bias and the bath temperature in a He-flow cryostat, the device's emission frequency is broadly tunable from 0.31 THz at 79 K to 1.31 THz at 30 K.

Abstract
The influence of the structure of ionic liquids on the crystallinity of aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) prepared by a sol-gel process with aluminum isopropoxide (Al(OPr(i))3) in imidazolium-based ionic liquids was investigated. When Al(OH)3 was prepared in ionic liquids having long alkyl chains, such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium salts and 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium salts, highly crystalline products were obtained. In contrast, Al(OH)3 obtained using the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium salt was an amorphous material, indicating that hydrophobic interaction of the alkyl tail of the imidazolium cation of the ionic liquid strongly affects the crystallinity of sol-gel products and the local structure of the ionic liquid. Moreover, the crystallinity of Al(OH)3 prepared in ionic liquids increased relative to the amount of additional water (ionic liquid/water = 1.28/2.0-3.5/0.2, w/w). In the case of addition of a small amount of water (ionic liquid/water = 3.5/0.2, w/w), the product was amorphous. These results implied that the presence of an ionic liquid and a sufficient amount of water was crucial for the successful synthesis of sol-gel products with high crystallinity. (1)H NMR analyses revealed a shift of the peak associated with the imidazolium cation upon addition of water, which suggested that the molecular orientation of the ionic liquid was similar to that of a micelle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of hemophilia A (HA) patients with inhibitors on bypassing therapy remains challenging. In particular, the monitoring of treatment is restricted by the limited reliability and lack of standardization of currently available methods to evaluate the physiological effects of various hemostatic agents. Accurate monitoring of these patients is particularly important in surgical situations. The recently developed comprehensive coagulation assays, including rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), may be useful in these circumstances. OBJECTIVE We have attempted to establish a systematic monitoring protocol using ROTEM (NATEM triggered by CaCl2 ) to evaluate the choice and effectiveness of different bypassing agents in the perioperative period. METHODS AND RESULTS The hemostatic effects of recombinant factor VIIa (rFVIIa) and activated prothrombin complex concentrates (aPCC) were determined using a three-step procedure (spike, preoperative and perioperative) in eight patients with HA inhibitor admitted for elective surgery and assessed for individually tailored therapy. The ROTEM parameters demonstrated similar improvement to approximately normal levels at each stage after treatment with rFVIIa. Results in the presence of aPCC showed a marked improvement in the spike data, although this appeared to be different from those in the preoperative and perioperative assessments. The information derived from the spike and preoperative findings provided a useful guide for establishing an effective dose of therapeutic material, and facilitated good hemostatic control during and after surgery in all cases. CONCLUSION The findings suggest that this systematic analysis using ROTEM could provide a promising strategy for the use of bypassing therapy in HA patients with inhibitor.

Abstract
Endoscopic diagnostics of early squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in the laryngo-esophageal region have dramatically improved together with development of less invasive endoscopic treatment. It is essential for gastrointestinal endoscopists to detect lesions when they are still endoscopically treatable, especially in this region since surgical approach can still be extremely invasive. Pioneers have found some notable fundamental alterations in early SCC and created several classifications. Inoue [Dig Endosc 2001;13(suppl): 40-41] proposed the intrapapillary capillary (IPCL) classification, which focused on the microvascular change of the mucosal surface. One of the significances of this classification is that it clearly distinguished the lesions that require further pathological evaluation by categorizing the diameter change of the IPCLs. On the other hand, Arima et al. [Esophagus 2005;2:191-197] advocated the alteration of microvessels as well as change of the vascular arrangement in the area. Most recently, the Japan Esophageal Society constructed a new classification uniting these two exemplary classifications as the 'Japanese Classification of Magnifying Endoscopy for Early Squamous Cell Carcinoma'. This classification was intended to be simple and easily applicable in general clinical practice. Brownish color change between the IPCLs has reported to be one of the useful findings in distinguishing early SCC from benign changes such as inflammatory change and low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. Nevertheless, the exact cause of this phenomenon remains unclear. We recently examined the association of color change with hemoglobin (Hb) in cancer tissue, since NBI exclusively detects the wavelength of Hb in superficial vessels in the gastrointestinal tract. This review article also describes our examination of a distinct finding in esophageal cancer, namely, 'background coloration'.

Abstract
Terahertz (THz) electromagnetic radiation emitted from single and series-connected rectangular mesa devices of high-Tc superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ is investigated spectroscopically during simultaneous temperature distribution observations using a microcrystalline SiC photoluminescence technique. In single mesas, a hot-spot region with its temperature T locally exceeding Tc was observed to jump suddenly in position under small current I-bias changes. Although these hot-spot position jumps cause large changes in the output power with small changes in I, as long as the voltage V per junction number N is kept constant, they do not affect the output frequency f, which is given by the ac Josephson frequency fJ. f can lock onto that of a particular mesa cavity resonance frequency fc, which enhances the emission power and serves as the primary mechanism for the synchronization of the emissions from each of the intrinsic Josephson junctions in the mesa.

Abstract
Multiple particles in a polymer shell, i.e. “rattle-like” capsules, have the potential to be used in electric ink or vibro-isolating and sound absorption materials because the encapsulated small particles are movable independently. Here, we demonstrate one-step preparation of the capsules containing small particles. In the final products, encapsulated particles were movable inside the capsule.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the usefulness of a hydrocolloid dressing containing ceramide for hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR) on the soles of the feet in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients treated with sorafenib. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with grade 1 HFSR on the soles of the feet were randomly assigned in to two groups. One group received a hydrocolloid dressing containing ceramide (arm A) and the other received 10% urea cream (arm B). Patients in both groups applied treatment to the affected sites on the soles of the feet, but not to the hands. The primary end point was the incidence of grade 2 or 3 HFSR on the soles of the feet in the first 4 weeks. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were assessed (17 in arm A and 16 in arm B), and there were no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the two groups. During the observation period of this study, grade 2 or 3 HFSR on the soles of the feet was found in 29% of patients in arm A and was significantly less than the 69% in arm B (P=0.03). The incidence of HFSR on the hands, however, was similar in both arms. The median time to grade 2 or 3 HFSR on the soles of the feet was also significantly longer in arm A than in arm B (P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that a hydrocolloid dressing containing ceramide prevented the worsening of HFSR caused by sorafenib in metastatic RCC patients.

Abstract
In order to determine if the mesa geometry might affect the properties of the coherent terahertz (THz) radiation emitted from the intrinsic Josephson junctions in mesas constructed from single crystals of the high-temperature superconductor, Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈+δ, we studied triangular mesas. For equilateral triangular mesas, the observed emission was found to be limited to the single mesa TM(1,0) mode. However, tunable radiation over the range from 0.495 to 0.934 THz was found to arise from an acute isosceles triangular mesa. This 47% tunability is the widest yet observed from the outer current-voltage characteristic branch of such mesas of any geometry. Although the radiation at a few of the frequencies in the tunable range appear to have been enhanced by cavity resonances, most frequencies are far from such resonance frequencies, and can only be attributed to the ac-Josephson effect.

Abstract
Direct surgical intervention to treat ruptured basilar tip aneurysms in patients with moyamoya disease has rarely been attempted, and patients who have undergone such treatment have not fully recovered. We review six cases of surgically treated ruptured basilar tip aneurysm associated with moyamoya disease, including our own case to illustrate aspects of surgical intervention and the difficulties encountered. Patients who underwent surgery after 4 weeks of the onset of symptoms showed impressive results. Of the patients who underwent surgery in the acute stage, two died, including our patient, and one showed excellent recovery. It is emphasized that to achieve satisfactory surgical outcome, the following factors should be considered: (i) delayed operation is preferable, with extracranial-intracranial bypass in selected patients; (ii) careful preservation of moyamoyas and transdural collaterals is mandatory; (iii) intraoperative rupture of the aneurysm should be avoided; and (iv) using a neuroanaesthetic technique of induced hypothermia and hypertension may be preferable.
