Abstract
Anastomosing hemangioma (AH) is rare and a newly recognized variant of capillary hemangioma that is mostly found in the genitourinary tract. Additionally, AH is sometimes difficult to diagnose without pathological specimens. It is difficult to diagnose preoperatively due to the lack of specific clinical and radiologic appearance. The present report describes the imaging features from a radiological perspective and outlines the clinicopathologic features and treatment options. A 67-year-old woman was referred to Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center (Koshigaya, Japan) for a retroperitoneal tumor that was identified at a medical checkup 4 years prior. The patient had no symptoms, no abnormal physical signs and no past medical or specific family history. Routine blood tests were all within the normal ranges. A nonenhanced CT scan showed a circular, homogenous, well-circumscribed retroperitoneal tumor that was ~32×23 mm in size, between the abdominal aorta and the inferior vena cava, and just below the left renal vein. On a contrast-enhanced multidetector CT scan, the tumor showed heterogeneous septal enhancement in the arterial phase and persistent enhancement in the portal phase. The tumor was diagnosed as a benign neurogenic tumor or a retroperitoneal cavernous hemangioma at the time, and the patient was intended to be followed up at the outpatient clinic. However, it gradually increased to a maximum diameter of 35 mm over 4 years. Finally, it was completely resected by open laparotomy and pathologically diagnosed as AH. Retroperitoneal hemangioma is extremely rare in adulthood and has been confirmed in only 1-3% of all retroperitoneal tumors. To the best of our knowledge, only 6 cases of para-aortic AH have been reported. The incidence of this variant is very low. However, AH may be included in the differential diagnosis when a slowly progressing heterogeneous mass appears in the para-aortic region that exhibits a CT-enhanced pattern similar to a typical cavernous hemangioma.

Abstract
Mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) is a premalignant cystic tumor of the pancreas. Resection of MCN in the distal pancreas is a standard treatment; however, at present, there is no consensus on the necessity or extent of lymph node dissection, and minimally invasive pancreatectomy is commonly the preferred surgical technique. Thus, the present study aimed to assess the efficacy of minimally invasive surgery and the extent of lymph node metastasis as factors in determining an appropriate surgical treatment for MCN. The present study retrospectively analyzed 21 consecutive patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy (DP) for MCN under general anesthesia at Chiba University Hospital (Chiba, Japan) between April 2011 and July 2019. All 21 patients were female. DP with a splenectomy was performed in all the patients. A total of 14 patients underwent laparoscopic DP (LDP). No lymph node metastasis was found in any of the patients. The minimally invasive surgery group had lower operative blood loss and a shorter hospital stay than the open surgery group. There was no significant difference in the number of dissected lymph nodes between the open surgery group and the minimally invasive surgery group. Preoperative findings of malignancy in MCN included solid components on enhanced CT and endoscopic ultrasonography, high carbohydrate antigen 19-9 values and large tumor size. In conclusion, DP with spleen preservation, which is minimally invasive, may be preferentially considered as a surgical technique for MCN without malignant findings because lymph node metastases are rare in MCN and were not observed in the present study.

Abstract
Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare disease that results from factor VIII inhibitors causing abnormal coagulation, and certain cases may develop after highly invasive surgery. The present case study reports on a 68-year-old male patient who developed AHA after undergoing a subtotal stomach-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy for distal cholangiocarcinoma. The patient experienced complications after surgery, requiring reoperation on postoperative day (PD) 5 due to rupture of the Braun's enterostomy. On PD 6, angiography was performed after bleeding was detected in the jejunal limb, but hemostasis occurred spontaneously during the examination. Bleeding was observed again on PD 8 and direct surgical ligation was performed. On PD 14, bleeding recurred in the jejunal limb and angiography was performed to embolize the periphery of the second jejunal artery. During the procedure, the prothrombin time was normal, but only the activated partial thromboplastin time was prolonged. A close examination of the coagulation system revealed a decrease in factor VIII levels and the presence of factor VIII inhibitors, resulting in the diagnosis of AHA. Administration of steroids was initiated on PD 15 and, in addition to daily blood transfusions, activated prothrombin complex concentrate was administered to achieve hemostasis. The patient was discharged from the intensive care unit on PD 36 but later developed an intractable labial fistula due to suture failure at the gastrojejunostomy site. As the use of factor VIII inhibitors continued despite the administration of steroids, cyclophosphamide (CPA) pulse therapy was added at PD 58. However, CPA was ineffective and the administration of rituximab was initiated on PD 98. After 12 courses of rituximab, the patient tested negative for factor VIII inhibitors on PD 219. On PD 289, labial fistula closure was performed with continuous replacement of factor VIII and the patient was discharged on PD 342.

Abstract
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) preferentially arise in the bronchopulmonary tree or the gastrointestinal tract. Notably, primary hepatic NENs are extremely rare. The present study describes a case of hepatic NEN presenting as a giant hepatic cystic lesion. A 42-year-old woman presented with a large liver tumor. Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography revealed a cystic tumor (18 cm) in their left liver. The tumor exhibited liquid components and mural solid nodules with enhanced effects. The lesion was diagnosed as mucinous cystic carcinoma (MCC) preoperatively. The patient underwent a left hepatectomy, and the postoperative course was uneventful. The patient has been alive without recurrence for 36 months postoperatively. The pathological diagnosis was NEN G2. This patient had ectopic pancreatic tissue in the liver and thus the ectopic pancreatic origin of the tumor was suspected. The present study describes a case of resected cystic primary NEN of the liver that was difficult to differentiate from mucinous cystic neoplasms. As primary liver NENs are extremely rare, further studies are needed to establish their diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
High-power, short-pulse laser-driven fast electrons can rapidly heat and ionize a high-density target before it hydrodynamically expands. The transport of such electrons within a solid target has been studied using two-dimensional (2D) imaging of electron-induced Kα radiation. However, it is currently limited to no or picosecond scale temporal resolutions. Here, we demonstrate femtosecond time-resolved 2D imaging of fast electron transport in a solid copper foil using the SACLA x-ray free electron laser (XFEL). An unfocused collimated x-ray beam produced transmission images with sub-micron and ∼10 fs resolutions. The XFEL beam, tuned to its photon energy slightly above the Cu K-edge, enabled 2D imaging of transmission changes induced by electron isochoric heating. Time-resolved measurements obtained by varying the time delay between the x-ray probe and the optical laser show that the signature of the electron-heated region expands at ∼25% of the speed of light in a picosecond duration. Time-integrated Cu Kα images support the electron energy and propagation distance observed with the transmission imaging. The x-ray near-edge transmission imaging with a tunable XFEL beam could be broadly applicable for imaging isochorically heated targets by laser-driven relativistic electrons, energetic protons, or an intense x-ray beam.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify the molecular etiology of distinct dental anomalies found in eight Thai patients and explore the mutational effects on cellular functions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed for eight patients. Whole exome sequencing, mutant protein modelling, qPCR, western blot analysis, scratch assays, immunofluorescence, confocal analysis, in situ hybridization, and scanning electron micrography of teeth were done. RESULTS All patients had molars with multiple supernumerary cusps, single-cusped premolars, and a reduction in root number. Mutation analysis highlighted a heterozygous c.865A>G; p.Ile289Val mutation in CACNA1S in the patients. CACNA1S is a component of the slowly inactivating L-type voltage-dependent calcium channel. Mutant protein modeling suggested that the mutation might allow leakage of Ca2+ or other cations, or a tightening, to restrict calcium flow. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed expression of Cacna1s in the developing murine tooth epithelium during stages of crown and root morphogenesis. In cell culture, the mutation resulted in abnormal cell migration of transfected CHO cells compared to wildtype CACNA1S, with changes to the cytoskeleton and markers of focal adhesion. CONCLUSIONS The malformations observed in our patients suggest a role for calcium signaling in organization of both cusps and roots, affecting cell dynamics within the dental epithelium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In accordance with previous reports on the utility of polyethylene glycolic acid (PGA) felt and fibrin glue for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), we usually perform distal pancreatectomy (DP) with a PGA felt reinforcement stapler when dissecting the pancreas and cover the stump with PGA felt and fibrin glue (the PPF method). In this study, we retrospectively analyzed our DP cases to compare the risk factors for POPF and the postoperative course of patients receiving the PPF method of treatment versus that of those receiving conventional treatment. METHODS A total of 127 DP procedures performed in our department between January 2008 and June 2021 were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS In the PPF method, grade B/C POPF rate tended to decrease, and POPF rate showed a significant decrease. The duration of drainage and the length of postoperative hospitalisation were also significantly shorter with the PPF method. The risk of grade B/C POPF significantly decreased with the PPF method if the pancreas was thick (> 13.5 mm) or the patients were obese. CONCLUSIONS The PPF method is useful for POPF in DP and is particularly effective when a thick pancreas or obese patient is involved. Removing the drainage tube early in the PPF method may lead to early discharge.

Abstract
The shock ignition (SI) approach to inertial confinement fusion is a promising scheme for achieving energy production by nuclear fusion. SI relies on using a high intensity laser pulse (≈1016 W/cm2, with a duration of several hundred ps) at the end of the fuel compression stage. However, during laser-plasma interaction (LPI), several parametric instabilities, such as stimulated Raman scattering and two plasmon decay, nonlinearly generate hot electrons (HEs). The whole behavior of HE under SI conditions, including their generation, transport, and final absorption, is still unclear and needs further experimental investigation. This paper focuses on the development of an experimental platform for SI-related experiments, which simultaneously makes use of multiple diagnostics to characterize LPI and HE generation, transport, and energy deposition. Such diagnostics include optical spectrometers, streaked optical shadowgraph, an x-ray pinhole camera, a two-dimensional x-ray imager, a Cu Kα line spectrometer, two hot-electron spectrometers, a hard x-ray (bremsstrahlung) detector, and a streaked optical pyrometer. Diagnostics successfully operated simultaneously in single-shot mode, revealing the features of HEs under SI-relevant conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS LGR5 enhances Wnt-β-catenin signalling; however, involvement of LGR5 or Wnt-β-catenin signalling in ICC progression has not been reported. METHODS Functions and regulations of LGR5-mediated β-catenin activation in ICC progression were evaluated using surgical specimens collected from 61 ICC patients or 2 ICC cell lines. RESULTS LGR5 expression was increased in some cases of ICC. It was positively correlated with β-catenin activation, OLFM4 expression and STAT3 activation, and negatively correlated with GRIM19 expression in ICC, thereby enhancing cancer stem cell (CSC)-like property and EMT. High LGR5 expression was an independent factor for poor prognosis in ICC after operation. In vitro, Wnt inhibition by IWP-2 suppressed β-catenin activation, OLFM4 expression and STAT3 activation. IWP-2 treatment decreased expression of EpCAM, CD133, vimentin and increased E-cadherin expression. The rate of mesenchymal cells was decreased and cell invasiveness was suppressed after IWP-2 treatment, suggesting that Wnt-β-catenin signalling enhanced CSC-like property and EMT by activating STAT3. In addition, LGR5 knockdown inhibited β-catenin activation, resulting in suppression of β-catenin-induced STAT3 activation through inhibition of OLFM4-GRIM19 cascade. As these results, LGR5 knockdown suppressed CSC-like property and EMT. Therefore, LGR5 was a key regulator for β-catenin activation, and β-catenin was unable to be activated without LGR5. CONCLUSIONS LGR5 is essential for β-catenin activation induced by Wnt signalling. Activated β-catenin further activates STAT3 and enhances CSC-like property and EMT, leading to aggressive tumour progression and poor prognosis in patients with ICC. Therefore, LGR5 is an excellent prognostic predictor and a promising therapeutic target for ICC.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postoperative pneumonia (POP) is a common complication that can adversely affect the outcomes after surgery. This study aimed to devise and validate a model for stratifying the probability of POP in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. METHODS We included 1050 patients who underwent major abdominal surgery between 2012 and 2013. A nomogram was devised by evaluating the predictive factors for POP. RESULTS Of the 1050 patients, 56 (5.3%) developed POP. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that the independent predictive factors for POP were age, male sex, history of cerebrovascular disease, Brinkman Index (BI) ≥ 900, and upper midline incision. A nomogram was devised by employing these five significant predictive factors. The prediction model showed a relatively good discrimination performance, with a concordance index of 0.77. CONCLUSIONS A nomogram based on age, male sex, history of cerebrovascular disease, BI ≥ 900, and upper midline incision may be useful for identifying patients with a high probability of developing POP after major abdominal surgery.

Abstract
Background Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) readily metastasizes to the lymph nodes, liver, lung, and peritoneum; however, gastric and gallbladder metastases are rare. We report a case of metachronous gastric and gallbladder metastases from PDAC. Case presentation The patient is a 71-year-old man who underwent distal pancreatectomy for PDAC. Seventeen months after the surgery, a 30-mm nodule was detected at the lesser curvature of the stomach, which was diagnosed as recurrence of PDAC in the lymph nodes. He then received gemcitabine and S-1 combination chemotherapy for 6 months. Because tumor size remained approximately the same and tumor marker levels decreased, total gastrectomy and cholecystectomy were performed. Pathological examination showed well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma in the subserosa and muscularis propria of the stomach and gallbladder. The patient remains alive at 41 months after the second surgery with liver metastasis. Conclusion We reported a rare case of metachronous gastric and gallbladder metastases from pancreatic body cancer.

Abstract
At present, there is no apparent consensus about the indications for hepatectomy for liver metastases of gastric cancer. In this study, we identified factors of poor prognosis to investigate the indications for hepatectomy in 24 cases of hepatectomy for liver metastases of gastric cancer at our hospital during a period from August 2001 to September 2017. The 1-, 3-, and 5- year survival rates in all 24 cases were 63%, 21%, and 17%, respectively. Single variable analysis revealed that significant factors of poor prognosis were 3 or more liver metastases, synchronous liver metastasis, and positive surgical margin. Multivariable analysis revealed that significant independent factors of poor prognosis were synchronous liver metastases(HR 4.71, 95%CI: 1.08-21.79, p=0.040)and positive surgical margin(HR 5.95, 95%CI: 1.56-25.81, p=0.009). These findings indicated that, in cases of metachronous tumors and negative surgical margin, favorable prognosis can be expected following surgical resection for liver metastases of gastric cancer.

Abstract
Single-spin qubits in semiconductor quantum dots hold promise for universal quantum computation with demonstrations of a high single-qubit gate fidelity above 99.9% and two-qubit gates in conjunction with a long coherence time. However, initialization and readout of a qubit is orders of magnitude slower than control, which is detrimental for implementing measurement-based protocols such as error-correcting codes. In contrast, a singlet-triplet qubit, encoded in a two-spin subspace, has the virtue of fast readout with high fidelity. Here, we present a hybrid system which benefits from the different advantages of these two distinct spin-qubit implementations. A quantum interface between the two codes is realized by electrically tunable inter-qubit exchange coupling. We demonstrate a controlled-phase gate that acts within 5.5 ns, much faster than the measured dephasing time of 211 ns. The presented hybrid architecture will be useful to settle remaining key problems with building scalable spin-based quantum computers. The race to produce a quantum computer has driven the development of many different qubit designs with different benefits and drawbacks. Noiri et al. demonstrate a hybrid device with two coupled semiconductor spin qubits of different designs, which should allow each qubit’s advantages to be exploited.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolonged postoperative ileus (PPOI) is among the common complications adversely affecting postoperative outcomes. Predictors of PPOI after major abdominal surgery remain unclear, although various PPOI predictors have been reported in patients undergoing colorectal surgery. This study aimed to devise a model for stratifying the probability of PPOI in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. METHODS Between 2012 and 2013, 841 patients underwent major abdominal surgery after excluding patients who underwent less-invasive abdominal surgery, ileus-associated surgery, and emergency surgery. Postoperative managements were generally based on enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program. The definition of PPOI was based on nausea, no oral diet, flatus absence, abdominal distension, and radiographic findings. A nomogram was devised by evaluating predictive factors for PPOI. RESULTS Of the 841 patients, 73 (8.8%) developed PPOI. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed smoking history (P = 0.025), colorectal surgery (P = 0.004), and an open surgical approach (P = 0.002) to all be independent predictive factors for PPOI. A nomogram was devised by employing these three significant predictive factors. The prediction model showed relatively good discrimination performance, the concordance index of which was 0.71 (95%CI 0.66-0.77). The probability of PPOI in patients with a smoking history who underwent open colorectal surgery was calculated to be 19.6%. CONCLUSIONS Colorectal surgery, open abdominal surgery, and smoking history were found to be independent predictive factors for PPOI in patients who underwent major abdominal surgery. A nomogram based on these factors was shown to be useful for identifying patients with a high probability of developing PPOI.

Abstract
We report a 72-year-old woman who was initially diagnosed with locally advanced gastric cancer with involvement of the esophagus and pancreas. She received 3 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)with docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5- fluorouracil(the DCF regimen)and achieved an excellent response. She underwent total gastrectomy with distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, and D2 lymphadenectomy. Histological examination confirmed a pathological complete response. NAC chemotherapy can down stage/down size the disease and allow some patients to undergo curative radical surgery.

Abstract
A woman aged 56 years developed 2 synchronous tumours: one, 1.2 cm in diameter at the head of the pancreas; and the other, 4.0 cm in diameter, at the left side of her horseshoe kidney. Preoperative differential diagnosis of these hypovascular lesions included pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDC) with renal metastasis, PDC with renal angiomyolipoma, renal cell carcinoma with pancreatic metastasis or PDC and renal cell carcinoma. Following pancreaticoduodenectomy and left nephrectomy, both specimens were diagnosed as grade 2 neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Immunohistochemistry revealed that both were positive for prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), which is specific to hindgut-derived NET, including renal NET. Accordingly, the renal tumour was diagnosed as the primary lesion, and the pancreatic tumour as a metastasis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a renal NET with a synchronous pancreas metastasis. Immunohistochemical staining for PAP was a useful diagnostic marker for synchronous NETs in the kidney and pancreas.

Abstract
AIM Sessile serrated adenomas/polyps (SSA/Ps) have been proposed as precursors of colorectal cancer. The aims of this investigation were to compare the endoscopic findings of SSA/Ps with those of other serrated lesions and to compare the histological findings of SSA/Ps with those of conventional adenomas. METHOD We retrospectively reviewed colonoscopy records at our institution from 1984 to 2013 and identified cases of endoscopically or surgically resected conventional adenomas and serrated lesions, including SSA/Ps, hyperplastic polyps (HPs) and traditional serrated adenomas (TSAs). The colonoscopic findings of SSA/Ps were compared with those of the other two serrated lesions and histological findings were compared among all groups of lesions. RESULTS There were 79 HPs in 68 patients, 77 SSA/Ps in 63 patients, 167 TSAs in 145 patients and 6324 conventional adenomas in 4129 patients. The inverted type and flat-elevated type were more frequent among SSA/Ps than among the other two types of serrated lesions. Magnifying colonoscopy revealed that a round and open pit pattern, expanded crypt openings and varicose microvascular vessels were more frequently observed among SSA/Ps than among the other types. The incidence of high-grade dysplasia or carcinoma among SSA/Ps (13.0%) was significantly higher than that among HPs (0%, P < 0.001) and equivalent to that among conventional adenomas (12.3%). CONCLUSION SSA/Ps have colonoscopic features distinct from those of HPs and TSAs. The malignant potential of SSA/Ps seems to be equal to that of conventional adenomas.

Abstract
A new piston-cylinder pressure cell for electron spin resonance (ESR) has been developed. The pressure cell consists of a double-layer hybrid-type cylinder with internal components made of the ZrO2-based ceramics. It can generate a pressure of 2 GPa repeatedly and reaches a maximum pressure of around 2.5 GPa. A high-pressure ESR system using a cryogen-free superconducting magnet up 10T has also been developed for this hybrid-type pressure cell. The frequency region is from 50 GHz to 400 GHz. This is the first time a pressure above 2 GPa has been achieved in multi-frequency ESR system using a piston-cylinder pressure cell. We demonstrate its potential by showing the results of the high-pressure ESR of the S=1 system with the single ion anisotropy NiSnCl6·6H2O and the S=1/2 quantum spin system CsCuCl3. We performed ESR measurements of these systems above 2 GPa successfully.

Abstract
Isolated or nonsyndromic tooth agenesis or hypodontia is the most common human malformation. It has been associated with mutations in MSX1, PAX9, EDA, AXIN2, EDAR, EDARADD, and WNT10A. GREMLIN 2 (GREM2) is a strong bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist that is known to regulate BMPs in embryogenesis and tissue development. Bmp4 has been shown to have a role in tooth development. Grem2(-/-) mice have small, malformed maxillary and mandibular incisors, indicating that Grem2 has important roles in normal tooth development. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that GREM2 mutations are associated with human malformations, which include isolated tooth agenesis, microdontia, short tooth roots, taurodontism, sparse and slow-growing hair, and dry and itchy skin. We sequenced WNT10A, WNT10B, MSX1, EDA, EDAR, EDARADD, AXIN2, and PAX9 in all 7 patients to rule out the effects of other ectodermal dysplasias and other tooth-related genes and did not find mutations in any of them. GREM2 mutations exhibit variable expressivity even within the same families. The inheritance is autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance. The expression of Grem2 during the early development of mouse teeth and hair follicles and the evaluation of the likely effects of the mutations on the protein structure substantiate these new findings.

Abstract
To investigate the parathyroid function in diabetes mellitus, we performed an oral phosphate load in 6 diabetic patients and 6 nondiabetic subjects without renal failure (serum creatinine less than 1.5 mg/dl). Each subject received a total of 2.0 g of phosphate daily per os on 5 consecutive days. Blood and urine samples were obtained daily before and 2 h after the administration of phosphate in the morning. All subjects responded with a similar increase in the serum phosphorus concentration and fall in the ionized calcium concentration. Intact parathyroid hormone levels rose by 2.6-fold in the control subjects but by less than 1.5-fold in the diabetic subjects. It was concluded that hyporesponsiveness of the parathyroid hormone to phosphate administration was found in the diabetic patients without renal failure.

Abstract
The origin of free amino acids and/or their metabolites of the stratum corneum was investigated by pulse-chase experiments using hairless mice. Two, 24, 48, and 72 hrs after the animals were pulse-chased with 3H-histidine or 3H-arginine, radioactivity was determined in the following three fractions of the epidermis: the 0.1 N HClO4 soluble, ethanol soluble fraction (Fr. I); the 0.1N NClO4 soluble, ethanol insoluble fraction (Fr. II); and the 0.1 N HClO4 insoluble, 8M urea soluble fraction (Fr. III). Radioactivity of the epidermal proteins was also determined in SDS-PAGE gels by the gel slicing method. At first, 3H-histidine and/or 3H-arginine were predominantly incorporated into Fr. III, especially into a certain epidermal protein which showed little mobility on SDS-PAGE. Subsequently, 3H, once incorporated into Fr. III, appeared to shift from Fr. III to Fr. II and, simultaneously, from the top band(s) to a band of 32,000 daltons. As a result of amino acid analysis, a protein of Fr. II was considered a histidine-rich protein corresponding to HRP-II of the new born rats of Ball et al. After 48 hrs, as the radioactivities of Fr. III and Fr. II decreased remarkably, Fr. I gradually increased in radioactivity. The major radioactive substances in Fr. I at 72 hrs were identified as 3H-histidine and 3H-urocanic acid when 3H-histidine was used as a tracer, and as 3H-arginine, 3H-ornithine, and 3H-citrulline in the case of 3H-arginine. The amino acid composition of the histidine-rich protein was very similar to that of the free amino acids of the stratum corneum in the hairless mouse, in which some amino acid metabolites were considered as their precursor amino acids. These results strongly suggest that the free amino acids and/or their metabolites of the stratum corneum might be the final products of a degradation of the histidine-rich protein.

Abstract
PURPOSE Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) with pathologically documented ipsilateral mediastinal lymph node (LN) metastases (pN2) are a broad spectrum of diseases. We retrospectively analyzed prognostic factors for cases of pN2 NSCLC treated by surgical resection. METHODS Clinicopathological data were reviewed for consecutive 121 patients who underwent anatomical pulmonary resection with mediastinal LN sampling or dissection for pN2 NSCLC over a 15-year period. RESULTS The 5-year survival rate for all patients was 29.9%. Clinical N status, curability, surgical procedure and adjuvant chemotherapy were favorable prognostic factors in univariate analysis, with 5-year survival rates of 35.0% for cN0/1 vs. 17.7% for cN2/3 cases; 33.1% for R0 vs. 14.7% for R1/2 resection; 31.5% for lobectomy vs. 25.0% for bilobectomy and 15.6% for pneumonectomy; and 72.7% with adjuvant chemotherapy vs. 23.8% without adjuvant chemotherapy. Survival did not differ significantly based on gender, age, smoking status, clinical T status, tumor location, histology, skip metastasis, subcarinal LN metastasis, or number of involved N2 levels. In multivariate analysis, adjuvant chemotherapy, R0 resection, and lobectomy emerged as independent favorable prognostic factors. CONCLUSION Complete resection using lobectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy are favorable prognostic factors in cases of pN2 NSCLC.

Abstract
Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling plays critical roles in many physiological and pathological processes, including regulating organogenesis. Down-regulation of NF-κB signaling during development results in hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. The roles of NF-κB signaling in tooth development, however, are not fully understood. We examined mice overexpressing IKKβ, an essential component of the NF-κB pathway, under keratin 5 promoter (K5-Ikkβ). K5-Ikkβ mice showed supernumerary incisors whose formation was accompanied by up-regulation of canonical Wnt signaling. Apoptosis that is normally observed in wild-type incisor epithelium was reduced in K5-Ikkβ mice. The supernumerary incisors in K5-Ikkβ mice were found to phenocopy extra incisors in mice with mutations of Wnt inhibitor, Wise. Excess NF-κB activity thus induces an ectopic odontogenesis program that is usually suppressed under physiological conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder with no effective treatment. Fasudil hydrochloride (fasudil), a potent rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitor, is useful for the treatment of ischaemic diseases. In previous reports, fasudil improved pathology in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and spinal muscular atrophy, but there is no evidence in that it can affect ALS. We therefore investigated its effects on experimental models of ALS. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH In mice motor neuron (NSC34) cells, the neuroprotective effect of hydroxyfasudil (M3), an active metabolite of fasudil, and its mechanism were evaluated. Moreover, the effects of fasudil, 30 and 100 mg·kg(-1), administered via drinking water to mutant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1(G93A)) mice were tested by measuring motor performance, survival time and histological changes, and its mechanism investigated. KEY RESULTS M3 prevented motor neuron cell death induced by SOD1(G93A). Furthermore, M3 suppressed both the increase in ROCK activity and phosphorylated phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN), and the reduction in phosphorylated Akt induced by SOD1(G93A). These effects of M3 were attenuated by treatment with a PI3K inhibitor (LY294002). Moreover, fasudil slowed disease progression, increased survival time and reduced motor neuron loss, in SOD1(G93A) mice. Fasudil also attenuated the increase in ROCK activity and PTEN, and the reduction in Akt in SOD1(G93A) mice. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS These findings indicate that fasudil may be effective at suppressing motor neuron degeneration and symptom progression in ALS. Hence, fasudil may have potential as a therapeutic agent for ALS treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Based on the results of a case-control study performed in Japan (Okayama and Kagawa), it was revealed that gene polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs), ESR1/6q25.1-rs2046210 and rs3757318, were closely related to breast cancer risk in Japanese women, and that the odds ratios per allele of individual SNPs were 1.37 [95% CI: 1.1 - 1.7] and 1.33 [1.04 - 1.7], respectively (San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium 2012, Mizoo et al.). To examine the effects of these SNPs on the pathogenic mechanism of breast cancer, we analyzed the relationship of SNPs with reproductive/physiological factors (age of menarche and number of births), physical factors (height and Body Mass Index [BMI]), family history and mammographic breast density.
Methods: Among the patients enrolled in the case-control study, the patients who could be evaluated regarding their lifestyle, SNPs and mammographic breast density were divided into the case group (N = 394) and the control group (N = 511) as the dataset for the study. SNPs were analyzed using the TaqMan genotyping assay® for blood samples. In the analysis of the relationship between SNPs and breast cancer risk, the odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated using logistic regression analysis. For the analysis of the relationship between SNPs and the factors, t-test and chi-square test were used.
Results: In our dataset, the age-adjusted OR [95% CI] of ESR1/6q25.1-rs2046210 and rs3757318 were 2.22 [1.41 - 3.55] (AA vs. GG) and 2.12 [1.2 - 3.8] (AA vs. GG), respectively, suggesting that they would be significant risk factors. As a result of analyzing the relationship between SNPs and other factors, a significantly lower BMI was observed for the risk allele AA/AG of rs2046210, compared to GG (p = 0.014, t-test). Regarding the mammographic breast density, a significantly higher proportion of mammary glands with high density was confirmed for the risk allele AA/AG of rs2046210, compared to GG (p = 0.0389, chi-square test). The tendency towards a high mammographic breast density in the rs2046210 risk allele AA/AG was also confirmed based upon a stratified analysis of the case and control groups before and after menopause, and a significant correlation was observed, especially before menopause (p = 0.026, chi-square test).
Conclusion: Mammographic high breast density is generally considered as one of the breast cancer risks, and it was suggested that gene polymorphisms of ESR1/6q25.1-rs2046210 might affect mammographic breast density.

Abstract
[Background] Based on the results of a case-control study performed in Japan (Okayama and Kagawa), it was revealed that gene polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor (single nucleotide polymorphisms, SNPs), ESR1/6q25.1-rs2046210 and SNPs of rs3757318 were closely related to breast cancer risk in Japanese women, and that the odds ratio per allele of individual SNPs were 1.37 [95% CI: 1.1 - 1.7] and 1.33 [1.04 - 1.7], respectively (San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium 2012, Mizoo et al.). We analyzed the relationship of ESR1/6q25.1-rs2046210 and rs3757318 SNPs with the clinical characteristics of breast cancer patients.
[Methods] Among the patients enrolled in the case-control study, 508 breast cancer patients who underwent genotyping for ESR1/6q25.1-rs2046210 and rs3757318 were analyzed as the subjects. SNPs were analyzed using the TaqMan genotyping assay® for blood samples. To analyze the relationship of genotypes (AA/GG, GG) with age at diagnosis, height, weight, BMI, age of menarche, birth history, pathological degree of progression and estrogen receptor, t-test and chi-square test were used.
[Results] The genotypes of rs2046210 are AA (12%), AG (41%) and GG (46%), and the patients with the risk allele (AA/AG) had significantly higher height (p = 0.0015, t-test) and lower Body Mass Index (BMI) (p = 0.0022, t-test). The genotypes of rs3757318 are AA (8%), AG (39%) and GG (53%), and the patients with the risk allele (AA/AG) were characterized by significantly lower BMI (p = 0.041, t-test), no birth history (p = 0.0473, chi-square) and negative hormone receptor (p = 0.0128, chi-square). Overall, tendencies related to increased height, lower BMI and negative estrogen receptor were confirmed for the risk alleles of rs2046210 and rs3757318.
[Conclusion] It was suggested that SNPs of rs2046210 and rs3757318 might be related to the development of estrogen-receptor-negative breast cancer.
