Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to elucidate the characteristics of varus knee deformities in the Japanese population, prevalence of various around knee osteotomy procedures and influence of femoral and tibial bowing. METHODS Varus knee deformity was defined as a weight-bearing line ratio of <50%. A total of 1010 varus knees were selected from 1814 varus knees with weight-bearing full-length radiographs, obtained at two facilities, based on exclusion criteria. Various parameters were measured, and around knee osteotomy simulations based on the deformity centre were conducted using digital planning tools. Bowing of the femoral and tibial shafts was measured, with bowing defined as follows: ≤ -0.6° indicating lateral bowing and ≥ 0.6° indicating medial bowing. Statistical analysis was performed to investigate age-related correlations and their impact on surgical techniques. RESULTS The study revealed that the proximal tibia was the centre of deformity in Japanese varus knees (42.8%), and high tibial osteotomy was frequently indicated (81.6%). Age demonstrated a mild correlation with femoral shaft bowing (r = -0.29), leading to an increase in the mechanical lateral distal femoral angle and to a decrease in the hip-knee-ankle angle and weight-bearing line ratio (r = -0.29, 0.221, 0.219). The tibial shaft bowing was unaffected by age (r = -0.022). CONCLUSION A significant proportion of Japanese individuals with varus knees exhibit a deformity centre located in the proximal tibia, making them suitable candidates for high tibial osteotomy. No age-related alterations were discerned in tibial morphology, indicating that the occurrence of constitutional varus knees is attributable to tibial deformities in the Japanese patient cohort. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.

Abstract
We searched for antideuterons (d[over ¯]'s) in the 4.7×10^{9} cosmic-ray events observed during the BESS-Polar II flight at solar minimum in 2007-2008 but found no candidates. The resulting 95% C.L. upper limit on the d[over ¯] flux is 6.7×10^{-5} (m^{2} s sr GeV/n)^{-1} in an energy range from 0.163 to 1.100 GeV/n. The result has improved by more than a factor of 14 from the upper limit of BESS97, which had a potential comparable to that of BESS-Polar II in the search for cosmic-origin d[over ¯]'s and was conducted during the former solar minimum. The upper limit of d[over ¯] flux from BESS-Polar II is the first result achieving the sensitivity to constrain the latest theoretical predictions.

Abstract
The T2K experiment presents new measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters using 19.7 ( 16.3 ) × 10 20 protons on target (POT) in (anti-)neutrino mode at the far detector (FD). Compared to the previous analysis, an additional 4.7 × 10 20 POT neutrino data was collected at the FD. Significant improvements were made to the analysis methodology, with the near-detector analysis introducing new selections and using more than double the data. Additionally, this is the first T2K oscillation analysis to use NA61/SHINE data on a replica of the T2K target to tune the neutrino flux model, and the neutrino interaction model was improved to include new nuclear effects and calculations. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses are presented, including results on sin 2 θ 13 and the impact of priors on the δ CP measurement. Both analyses prefer the normal mass ordering and upper octant of sin 2 θ 23 with a nearly maximally CP-violating phase. Assuming the normal ordering and using the constraint on sin 2 θ 13 from reactors, sin 2 θ 23 = 0 . 561 - 0.032 + 0.021 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and Δ m 32 2 = 2 . 494 - 0.058 + 0.041 × 10 - 3 eV 2 using constant Δ χ 2 intervals. The CP-violating phase is constrained to δ CP = - 1 . 97 - 0.70 + 0.97 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and δ CP = 0 , π is excluded at more than 90% confidence level. A Jarlskog invariant of zero is excluded at more than 2 σ credible level using a flat prior in δ CP , and just below 2 σ using a flat prior in sin δ CP . When the external constraint on sin 2 θ 13 is removed, sin 2 θ 13 = 28 . 0 - 6.5 + 2.8 × 10 - 3 , in agreement with measurements from reactor experiments. These results are consistent with previous T2K analyses.

Abstract
We report on the first search for nuclear recoils from dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with the XENONnT experiment, which is based on a two-phase time projection chamber with a sensitive liquid xenon mass of 5.9 ton. During the (1.09±0.03) ton yr exposure used for this search, the intrinsic ^{85}Kr and ^{222}Rn concentrations in the liquid target are reduced to unprecedentedly low levels, giving an electronic recoil background rate of (15.8±1.3) events/ton yr keV in the region of interest. A blind analysis of nuclear recoil events with energies between 3.3 and 60.5 keV finds no significant excess. This leads to a minimum upper limit on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross section of 2.58×10^{-47} cm^{2} for a WIMP mass of 28 GeV/c^{2} at 90% confidence level. Limits for spin-dependent interactions are also provided. Both the limit and the sensitivity for the full range of WIMP masses analyzed here improve on previous results obtained with the XENON1T experiment for the same exposure.

Abstract
Multiple viable theoretical models predict heavy dark matter particles with a mass close to the Planck mass, a range relatively unexplored by current experimental measurements. We use 219.4 days of data collected with the XENON1T experiment to conduct a blind search for signals from multiply interacting massive particles (MIMPs). Their unique track signature allows a targeted analysis with only 0.05 expected background events from muons. Following unblinding, we observe no signal candidate events. This Letter places strong constraints on spin-independent interactions of dark matter particles with a mass between 1×10^{12} and 2×10^{17} GeV/c^{2}. In addition, we present the first exclusion limits on spin-dependent MIMP-neutron and MIMP-proton cross sections for dark matter particles with masses close to the Planck scale.

Abstract
In our previous study, osteosarcoma advanced locally, and metastasis was promoted through the secretion of large number of small extracellular vesicles, followed by suppressing osteoclastogenesis via the upregulation of microRNA (miR)-146a-5p. An additional 12 miRNAs in small extracellular vesicles were also detected ≥6× as frequently in high-grade malignancy with the capacity to metastasize as in those with a low metastatic potential. However, the utility of these 13 miRNAs for determining the prognosis or diagnosis of osteosarcoma has not been validated in the clinical setting. In the present study, the utility of these miRNAs as prognostic and diagnostic markers was therefore assessed. In total, 30 patients with osteosarcoma were retrospectively reviewed, and the survival rate was compared according to the serum miRNA levels in 27 patients treated with chemotherapy and surgery. In addition, to confirm diagnostic competency for osteosarcoma, the serum miRNA levels were compared with those in patients with other bone tumors (n=112) and healthy controls (n=275). The patients with osteosarcoma with high serum levels of several miRNAs (miR-146a-5p, miR-1260a, miR-487b-3p, miR-1260b and miR-4758-3p) exhibited an improved survival rate compared with those with low levels. In particular, patients with high serum levels of miR-1260a exhibited a significantly improved overall survival rate, metastasis-free survival rate and disease-free survival rate compared with those with low levels. Thus, serum miR-1260a may potentially be a prognostic marker for patients with osteosarcoma. Moreover, patients with osteosarcoma had higher serum miR-1261 levels than those with benign or intermediate-grade bone tumors and thus may be a potential therapeutic target, in addition to being useful for differentiating whether or not a bone tumor is high-grade. A larger investigation is required to clarify the actual utility of these miRNAs in the clinical setting.

Abstract
We report a search for cosmic-ray boosted dark matter with protons using the 0.37 megaton×years data collected at Super-Kamiokande experiment during the 1996-2018 period (SKI-IV phase). We searched for an excess of proton recoils above the atmospheric neutrino background from the vicinity of the Galactic Center. No such excess is observed, and limits are calculated for two reference models of dark matter with either a constant interaction cross section or through a scalar mediator. This is the first experimental search for boosted dark matter with hadrons using directional information. The results present the most stringent limits on cosmic-ray boosted dark matter and exclude the dark matter-nucleon elastic scattering cross section between 10^{-33}cm^{2} and 10^{-27}cm^{2} for dark matter mass from 1 MeV/c^{2} to 300 MeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
Astrophysical reactions involving radioactive isotopes (RI) often play an important role in high-temperature stellar environments. The experimental studies on the reaction rates for those are still limited mainly due to the technical difficulties in producing high-quality RI beams. A direct measurement of those reactions would be still challenging in many cases, however, we can make a reliable evaluation of the reaction rates by an indirect method or by studying the resonance prorerties. Here we ntroduce recent examples of experimental studies on such RI-involving astrophysical reactions, performed at Center for Nuclear Study, the University of Tokyo, using the low-energy RI beam separator CRIB. One is for the neutron-induced destruction reactions of 7Be in the Big-Bang nucleosynthesis, and the other is the study on the 22Mg(α, p) reaction relevant in X-ray bursts, which was performed with the resonant scattering method from the inverse reaction channel.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REPORT Several methods are used to reconstruct bony defects after malignant tumor excision. Tumor-bearing frozen autograft reconstruction is a biological procedure in which tumor-bearing bone is reused after devitalization with liquid nitrogen to kill tumor cells. The viability of frozen autografts has not been fully evaluated over time. We therefore aimed to evaluate the viability of devitalized bone grafts, using 99m Tc-MDP scintigraphy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy-four patients who underwent frozen autograft reconstruction after the excision of a malignant bone tumor were enrolled. Two hundred forty-two postoperative 99m Tc-MDP scans were reviewed. For a quantitative analysis, the region of interest on the frozen bone segment and a symmetric region of interest on the contralateral normal area were manually set. The radioactive tracer uptake ratio was calculated by dividing the count density of the frozen bone segment by that of the contralateral normal area in each image. An uptake ratio of 0.9 to 1.1 was defined as a normalization of tracer uptake. RESULTS Normalization of tracer uptake was achieved in 95% to 97% of the cases by 60 months postoperatively, and earlier in the middle zone and peripheral zone in the pedicle freezing group in comparison to the free freezing group (both P = 0.03). Fracture and nonunion was associated with a low uptake ratio, whereas infection was associated with a high uptake ratio before the occurrence of the event. CONCLUSIONS The calculation of the uptake ratio using 99m Tc-MDP scans was an objective and accurate evaluation method. The period to normalization of tracer uptake in the pedicle frozen bone was significantly earlier than that in the free frozen bone. The postoperative complications can be also predicted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare stromal tumor with no standard treatment. However, some reports have revealed that follicular dendritic cell sarcoma has an inflammatory pseudotumor variant associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection that has a relatively good prognosis. In this report, we present a case of a resected inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma of the liver, and have reviewed the literature on the clinicopathological, molecular, and genomic features of this tumor. CASE PRESENTATION The inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma originates only in the liver or spleen, causes no symptoms, and is more common in middle-aged Asian women. It has no characteristic imaging features, which partially explains why the inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is difficult to diagnose. Pathologically, the inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma has spindle cells mixed with inflammatory cells and is variably positive for follicular dendritic cell markers (CD21, CD23, and CD35) and Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA. On genetic analysis, patients with this tumor high levels of latent membrane protein 1 gene expression and extremely low levels of host C-X-C Chemokine Receptor type 7 gene expression, indicating that the inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma has a latent Epstein-Barr virus type 2 infection. CONCLUSIONS The inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is an Epstein-Barr virus-associated tumor and a favorable prognosis by surgical resection, similar to Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer.

Abstract
We report on a blinded analysis of low-energy electronic recoil data from the first science run of the XENONnT dark matter experiment. Novel subsystems and the increased 5.9 ton liquid xenon target reduced the background in the (1, 30) keV search region to (15.8±1.3) events/(ton×year×keV), the lowest ever achieved in a dark matter detector and ∼5 times lower than in XENON1T. With an exposure of 1.16 ton-years, we observe no excess above background and set stringent new limits on solar axions, an enhanced neutrino magnetic moment, and bosonic dark matter.

Abstract
Background
The chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) global cross-sectional scientific survey (CLARITY) was established to provide insights into current clinical practices and unmet needs in the diagnosis and treatment of CTEPH. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) plays a leading role in establishing guidelines (GLs) for clinical decision-making in acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and CTEPH. It is of interest to better understand how these GLs affect real-world practice.
Purpose
To assess the adoption and perception of clinical practice GLs among medical specialists working in the fields of cardiology.
Methods
The online survey was developed by an independent committee of 11 international CTEPH experts using the Delphi method and designed to elicit responses regarding disease awareness and management, including follow-up after acute PE and diagnosis of suspected CTEPH. Logic functions were implemented to ensure respondents only viewed questions relevant to their clinical practice. To date, professional members of 17 Scientific Societies and other medical organizations were invited to respond to the survey. For this interim analysis response data were collected from 10.09.2021 to 10.02.2022.
Results
Out of 242 respondents, 107 specialized in cardiology (44%) and 7 specialized in angiology (3%) were included in this interim analysis. Respondents were from Europe (75%, n=85), Asia Pacific (20%, n=23) and the Americas (5%, n=6) and generally had 15–29 (40%, n=45) or 5–14 (37%, n=42) years of working experience. Of the 67 respondents (59%) that did not work in a pulmonary hypertension (PH)/CTEPH expert centre, only 24 (36%) were affiliated with such a centre.
Of respondents involved in acute PE management (n=101) and CTEPH diagnosis (n=87), 87 (86%) and 71 (82%) reported following the 2019 PE ESC/European Respiratory Society (ERS) and 2015 PH ESC/ERS GLs, respectively. Regardless of country, a higher proportion of respondents from Asia Pacific also reported using national GLs for PE (44%, n=10) and CTEPH (52%, n=12) compared to respondents from Europe (15%, n=11; 25%, n=15) and the Americas (25%, n=1; 40%, n=2). Overall, GLs were perceived to facilitate clinical practice (Fig. 1).
Lack of GLs to screen for CTEPH following acute PE was more often reported as a barrier by respondents from Asia Pacific and those working in an expert centre. Low adherence to GLs was reported as a barrier to CTEPH diagnosis by approximately 1/3 of respondents, irrespective of care setting, and in higher proportion among those with more working experience.
Conclusion
Despite the availability of GLs, reported barriers indicate an opportunity for educational activities to improve adoption and adherence to GLs. Observed differences and potential gaps between clinical practice and the GLs warrant further exploration through additional global insights collected by the survey throughout April 2022.

Abstract
The radiation dose rate from radionuclides released by the spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in Rokkasho, Japan, was assessed for a year specified in the safety review during which the weather conditions were not significantly different from those of the other 10 y. However, the actual year-by-year variation in annual radiation dose rate was not examined. A model system for evaluating the dose rate from the radionuclides released into the atmosphere was constructed. In this study, the radiation dose rate in the weather conditions of 24 weather bins was estimated for a standard year by the model. The annual maximum dose rate from 1959 to 2012 was estimated using a simplified method that integrated the dose rates of each weather bin in the standard year by estimating the annual frequency of the bin in the target year. We obtained ~1.3 as the maximum/minimum ratio of the annual maximum dose rate.

Abstract
Introduction Occupational burnout has become a pervasive problem in human services. Medical professionals are particularly vulnerable to burnout, which may lead to reduced motivation, medical errors, and voluntary absenteeism. To ensure effect functioning of medical systems, better understanding of burnout among medical professionals is warranted. Objectives We aimed to investigate the structural brain correlates of burnout severity among medical professionals. Methods
Nurses in active service underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging. We assessed their burnout severity using self-reported psychological questionnaires. This study was approved by the Committee on Medical Ethics of Kyoto University and was conducted in accordance with the Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association. Results
The results reflected considerable individual differences in burnout severity in our sample. Our findngs revealed that the levels of burnout severity were associated with the regional gray matter volumes in brain areas such as ventromedial prefrontal cortex and insula. Conclusions Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical professionals have faced even greater stress. We hope that our findings will contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of burnout and offer useful insights for developing effective interventions to manage stress and burnout. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
Experimental studies on astrophysical reactions involving radioactive isotopes (RI) often accompany technical challenges. Studies on such nuclear reactions have been conducted at the low-energy RI beam separator CRIB, operated by Center for Nuclear Study, the University of Tokyo. We discuss two cases of astrophysical reaction studies at CRIB; one is for the 7Be+n reactions which may affect the primordial 7Li abundance in the Big-Bang nucleosynthesis, and the other is for the 22Mg(α, p) reaction relevantin X-raybursts.

Primary total knee arthroplasty assisted by computed tomography-free navigation for secondary knee osteoarthritis following massive calcium phosphate cement packing for distal femoral giant-cell bone tumor treatment: a case report.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is an intermediate tumor commonly arising from the epiphysis of the distal femur and proximal tibia. Standard GCTB treatment is joint-preserving surgery performed using thorough curettage and the filling of the cavity with allo-, auto-, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), or synthetic bone graft. Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) is an artificial bone substitute, which has the benefit of being able to adjust defects, consequently inducing immediate mechanical strength, and promoting biological healing. Secondary osteoarthritis may occur following GCTB treatment and may need additional surgery if severe. However, details regarding surgery for secondary osteoarthritis have not been fully elucidated. There are no reports on the use of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the treatment of secondary osteoarthritis following CPC packing. The insertion of an alignment rod is a standard procedure in TKA; however, it was difficult to perform in this case due to CPC. Therefore, we used a computed tomography (CT)-free navigation system to assist the distal femur cut. This study presents a knee joint secondary osteoarthritis case following CPC packing for GCTB curettage that was treated with standard TKA. CASE PRESENTATION A 67-year-old Japanese woman, who was previously diagnosed with left distal femur GCTB and was treated by curettage and CPC packing 7 years ago, complained of severe knee pain. Left knee joint plain radiography revealed Kellgren and Lawrence (K-L) grade 4 osteoarthritis without evidence of tumor recurrence. Therefore, she was scheduled for TKA. There are no reports on the cutting of a femoral condyle surface with massive CPC with accurate alignment. Because it is difficult to insert the alignment rod intramedullary and cut the femoral condyle with CPC, we planned CT-free navigation-guided surgery for accurate bone cutting using an oscillating tip saw system to prevent CPC cracks. We performed standard TKA without complications, as planned. Postoperative X-ray showed normal alignment. Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS) and Knee Society Function Score (KSFS) ameliorated from 27 and 29 to 64 and 68, respectively The patient can walk without a cane postoperatively. CONCLUSION There was no report about the surface TKA guided by CT-free navigation after primary GCT surgery with CPC. We believe that this case report will help in planning salvage surgery for secondary osteoarthritis after CPC packing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Systemic inflammation responses have been associated with cancer development, progression and metastasis. Little is known about the risk of metastasis based on inflammatory-based scores in patients with osteosarcoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 65 osteosarcoma patients without metastasis at presentation were enrolled in this retrospective study. All had been diagnosed histologically, and their laboratory data at the first visit were collected from medical records. The inflammation-based scores, tumor size, location, staging, pathological fracture, treatment methods, follow-up periods, and metastasis-free duration were evaluated. RESULTS A multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that a high platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) >116 [hazard ratio (HR)=3.8, 95% confidence interval =1.5-9.3; p<0.01], and neutrophil count (NC) ≤4,030/μl (HR=4.5, 95%CI=1.7-12.3; p<0.01), were independent risk factors significantly associated with metastasis of osteosarcoma patients. CONCLUSION The combination of a high PLR >116 and NC ≤4,030/μl before treatment was a useful inflammatory-based prognostic indicator for metastasis in patients with osteosarcoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) has been reported to be correlated with declines in hippocampal volume and cognitive function in ApoE4-positive MCI patients. OBJECTIVES The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of plasma matrix MMP-9 on the conversion risk between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients with and without ApoE4. DESIGN AND SETTING Retrospective observational study using the data extracted from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative database. PARTICIPANTS We included 211 ApoE4-positive MCI subjects (ApoE4+ MCI) and 184 ApoE4-negative MCI subjects (ApoE4- MCI). MEASUREMENTS We obtained demographic and data including plasma MMP-9 levels at baseline and longitudinal changes in Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) up to 15 years. We compared conversion rates between ApoE4+ MCI and ApoE4- MCI by the Log-rank test and calculated the hazard ratio (HR) for covariates including age, sex, educational attainment, drinking and smoking histories, medications, and plasma MMP-9 levels using a multiple Cox regression analysis of ApoE4+ MCI and ApoE4- MCI. RESULTS No significant differences were observed in baseline plasma MMP-9 levels between ApoE4+ MCI and ApoE4- MCI. High plasma MMP-9 levels increased the conversion risk significantly more than low plasma MMP-9 levels (HR, 2.46 [95% CI, 1.31-4.48]) and middle plasma MMP-9 levels (HR, 1.67 [95% CI, 1.04-2.65]) in ApoE4+ MCI, but not in ApoE4- MCI. CONCLUSION Plasma MMP-9 would be the risk of the future conversion to dementia in ApoE4+ MCI.

Abstract
Age affects the clinical outcomes of cancer treatment, including those for bone sarcoma. Successful reconstruction using frozen autograft after excision of bone sarcoma has been reported; however, little is known about the clinical outcomes of frozen autograft reconstruction according to age. The purpose was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of the frozen autograft reconstruction focusing on skeletally mature adolescents and young adults (AYAs) that was 15 to 39 years of age. A total of 37 AYA patients with primary bone sarcoma on the appendicular skeleton were enrolled in this study. The mean follow-up period was 89 months. The graft survival (GS), overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), complications and the function were retrospectively evaluated using medical records. The 10-year GS, OS, and RFS rates were 76%, 84%, and 79%, respectively. Bone union was achieved with a rate of 94% within 1 year after surgery, and nonunion (n = 1) and fracture (n = 2) were infrequently observed. Graft removal was performed in 7 cases, and the most common reason for the removal was infection (n = 5). The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society score was excellent in 23 cases of the available 29 cases. Frozen autograft reconstruction for AYAs showed excellent clinical outcomes, although the long-term follow-up is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Synovial sarcoma is an aggressive but chemosensitive soft-tissue tumor. We retrospectively analyzed the efficacy of perioperative chemotherapy for synovial sarcoma with data from the nationwide database, Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Registry in Japan. METHODS This study included 316 patients diagnosed with synovial sarcoma between 2006 and 2012. Oncologic outcomes were analyzed using a Cox-hazard regression model. Moreover, the effects of perioperative chemotherapy on outcomes were evaluated using a matched-pair analysis. The oncologic outcomes of patients who did or did not receive chemotherapy were compared (cx + and cx-). RESULTS Multivariate analysis revealed significant correlations of age (over 40, hazard ratio [HR] = 0.61, p = 0.043), margin status (marginal resection, HR = 0.18, p < 0.001 and intralesional resection, HR = 0.30, p = 0.013 versus wide resection) with overall survival; surgical margin type (marginal resection, HR = 0.14, p = 0.001 and intralesional resection, HR = 0.09, p = 0.035 versus wide resection) with local recurrence; and postoperative local recurrence (HR = 0.30, p = 0.027) and surgical margin (marginal resection, HR = 0.31, p = 0.023 versus wide resection) with distant relapse-free survival. Before propensity score matching, perioperative chemotherapy was mainly administered for young patients and patients with deeper tumor locations, larger tumors, more advanced-stage disease, and trunk location. The 3-year overall survival, local control, and distant relapse-free survival rates were 79.8%/89.3% (HR = 0.64, p = 0.114), 89.6%/93.0% (HR = 0.37, p = 0.171) and 71.4%/84.5% (HR = 0.60, p = 0.089) in the cx+/cx- groups, respectively. After propensity score matching, 152 patients were selected such that the patient demographics were nearly identical in both groups. The 3-year overall survival, local control, and distant relapse-free survival rates were 71.5%/86.0% (HR = 0.48, p = 0.055), 92.5%/93.3% (HR = 0.51, p = 0.436) and 68.4%/83.9% (HR = 0.47, p = 0.046) in the cx+/cx- groups, respectively. CONCLUSION This large-sample study indicated that the margin status and postoperative disease control were associated directly or indirectly with improved oncologic outcomes. However, the efficacy of perioperative chemotherapy for survival outcomes in synovial sarcoma patients was not proven in this Japanese database analysis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The delayed initiation of treatment is not associated with good clinical outcomes in patients with malignancies. However, few previous studies have examined prognostic factors, including the delayed initiation of treatment, in malignant bone tumors. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and one patients with malignant bone tumors were enrolled. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors predicting metastasis, including factors that delay the initiation of treatment. RESULTS The multivariate analysis revealed that high-grade bone malignancy (p<0.01), a >30-day delay in referral to a specialized hospital by a general practitioner (p=0.03), and large tumor size (>77 mm) (p=0.04), were independently associated with metastasis of malignant bone tumors. CONCLUSION When general practitioners notice a patient with a >77 mm bone tumor, early referral to a specialized hospital within one month might be essential for preventing metastasis.

Abstract
Introduction Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) are common, disabling and burdensome core-features of dementia, with important diagnostic and prognostic value. However, their measurement remains challenging. The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) is the most widely used NPS measure. Nevertheless, it is also time-consuming and impractical in most clinical settings. Therefore, the Abe’s BPSD score (ABS) has been proposed as a brief score to facilitate the NPS assessment. Objectives To explore the concurrent validity of the Portuguese ABS by comparing the 10 ABS items with the relevant NPI-12 domains. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with outpatients attending a gerontopsychiatric consultation. Patients were included if they were ≥65 years and had a reliable caregiver. NPS frequency rates (number of patients with a symptom) were estimated with ABS and NPI-12, and an agreement analysis was undertaken by calculating kappa-coefficients (k) and the respective 95% confidence interval [95%CI] between ABS items and relevant NPI-12 domains. Results Overall, 107 patients were included. Kappa-values ranged from 0.277 to 1.000. Higher agreement was recorded for the ABS items eating/toilet problems (k=1.000), day–night reversal (k=0.976[0.925-1.000]) and depressive/gloomy mood (k=0.957[0.899-1.000]), with the NPI-12 appetite/eating abnormalities, night-time behavioural disturbances and dysphoria domains, respectively. The ABS item violent force recorded the lowest agreement (k=0.277[0.104-0.45]) with the NPI-12 agitation/aggression domain. Conclusions This exploratory analysis demonstrates good levels of agreement between most ABS items and relevant NPI-12 domains. Data add to the evidence that both measures capture a comparable broad spectrum of psychopathology, supporting the ABS use in clinical routine.

Abstract
Background Synchronous multicentric osteosarcoma (SMOS) is a rare disease characterized by simultaneous multicentricity of intraosseous osteosarcoma without visceral involvement. SMOS, including a skull lesion, which occurs relatively rarely, and reconstruction using a frozen autograft after the excision of a lesion of SMOS has been infrequently reported previously. Case presentation We report an 18-year-old girl with SMOS, with lesions located in the left distal femur, right proximal humerus, and left occipital bone. Her major complaint was pain and swelling around the left knee joint. Asymptomatic lesions of the humerus and skull bone were detected on a systemic bone scan. No visceral organ metastasis was observed. A biopsy of the distal femoral lesion revealed osteosarcoma. Based on the histological findings, multiple bone lesions, and absence of visceral lesion, the clinical diagnosis of SMOS was made. After five courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with a regimen of doxorubicin and cisplatin, reconstruction using a tumor prosthesis following wide excision of the left distal femur was performed, and total necrosis was histologically observed in the retracted specimen. Following three cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy, tumor excision and reconstruction with a frozen autograft treated with liquid nitrogen was conducted for both lesions of the humerus and skull, rather than tumor prosthesis or synthetics, in order to retain a normal shoulder function, and to obtain a good cosmetic and functional outcome after treatment of the skull lesion. Further adjuvant chemotherapy could not be administered after the completion of the surgical treatment for all lesions because the adverse events due to chemotherapy were observed. At over 5 years after the diagnosis, she remains clinically disease-free. Conclusions An early correct diagnosis, the proper management of chemotherapy, and surgical treatment for all lesions are essential for achieving a good clinical outcome, even in SMOS including a skull lesion. By performing reconstruction using a frozen autograft for a proximal humeral lesion and a skull lesion after confirming the good histological efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for the primary lesion, the excellent function of the shoulder joint and a good cosmetic outcome at the site of the skull lesion was acquired without complications or recurrence.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor, and its standard treatment is a combination of surgery and chemotherapy. A poor response to chemotherapy causes unfavorable oncological outcomes. We investigated the correlation between osteoclast differentiation in biopsy specimens and the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in resected specimens. Forty-nine patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and subsequent surgical treatment at our institution between 1999 and 2018 were enrolled. Using medical records, we investigated the age, sex, tumor size, location, subtype, staging, chemotherapy agents (doxorubicin, cisplatin, ifosfamide, and methotrexate), number of neoadjuvant chemotherapy courses, number of osteoclasts in biopsy specimens, and efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to the Rosen and Huvos classification (Grade I-IV) in resected specimens. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify factors predictive of a good response in resected specimens after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A good response (Grade III/IV) was detected in 25, while a poor response (Grade I/II) was detected in 24. According to the multivariate analysis, ≥ 46 years old (odds ratio [OR], 0.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.01–0.45; p < 0.01) and ≥ 5 mature osteoclasts in a biopsy specimen (OR, 36.9; 95% CI, 6.03–225; p < 0.01) were significantly associated with the neoadjuvant chemotherapy efficacy. The accuracy for predicting a good response to chemotherapy based on ≥ 5 osteoclasts in a biopsy specimen in patients < 46 years old was 85%. The number of mature osteoclasts in biopsy specimens is a simple factor for predicting the efficacy of chemotherapy before treatment, although further studies will be required to determine the underlying mechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Obtaining information on invisible vasculature distal to the occlusion site helps to deploy a stent retriever safely during mechanical thrombectomy for large-vessel occlusion. It is essential to reduce the amount of contrast used for detecting the vessels distal to the occlusion site because acute ischemic stroke patients tend to have chronic kidney disease and patients with severe chronic kidney disease are at an increased risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury. We assessed whether vessels distal to the occlusion site during acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion could be visualized on angiographic images using flat panel detector CT acquired following intra-arterial diluted contrast injection, compared with MRA findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between May 2019 and January 2020, we enrolled 28 consecutive patients with large-vessel occlusions of the anterior circulation eligible for mechanical thrombectomy following MR imaging. The patients underwent CBV imaging using flat panel detector CT with an intra-arterial diluted contrast injection instead of intravenous injection. Flat panel detector CT angiographic images reconstructed from the same dataset were evaluated for image quality, collateral status of the MCA territory, and visualization of the vessels distal to the occlusion site. These findings were compared with MRA findings. RESULTS Twenty-two patients were retrospectively examined. Flat panel detector CT angiographic image quality in 20 patients (91%) was excellent or good. The distal portion of the occluded vessel segment was visualized in 14 patients (70%), while the proximal portion of the segment adjacent to the occluded vessel in 3 (15%) was visualized. No visualization was observed in only 1 patient (5%) with no collateral supply. Flat panel detector CT angiographic images were shown to evaluate vessels distal to the occlusion site more accurately than MRA. CONCLUSIONS In acute ischemic stroke with large-vessel occlusion, flat panel detector CT angiographic images could successfully visualize vessels distal to the occlusion site with a small amount of contrast material.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atypical fractures may occur due to the combined effect of severely suppressed bone turnover (SSBT) caused by long-term bisphosphonate treatment and chronic repetitive bone microdamage. Atypical fracture of the ulna due to SSBT is a rare entity; there is no standardized treatment strategy for this condition. We successfully treated a patient with atypical fracture of the ulna. Herein, we present this patient, review the relevant literature, and discuss the treatment strategy. CASE PRESENTATION An 84-year-old woman presented with atypical fracture of the left ulnar shaft due to SSBT. She had a history of bisphosphonate therapy (ibandronate and alendronate) since more than 10 years; her bone turnover was severely suppressed. We performed open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using dual plate with some additional treatments. These included drilling and decortication, use of autogenous bone graft, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment, and administration of teriparatide. Finally, bone union was observed at 11 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Based on the literature review and our experience with this case, ORIF alone may not be adequate to achieve bone union; drilling, decortication, and use of cancellus bone graft is important to achieve favorable outcomes. Administration of teriparatide and LIPUS may facilitate early bone union, although further studies are required to provide more definitive evidence. Furthermore, ORIF using dual plate may help avoid implant failure owing to the long time required for bone union.

Abstract
Background Intramedullary osteosclerosis (IMOS) is a rare condition without specific radiological findings except for the osteosclerotic lesion and is not associated with family history and infection, trauma, or systemic illness. Although the diagnosis of IMOS is confirmed after excluding other osteosclerotic lesions, IMOS is not well known because of its rarity and no specific feature. Therefore, these situations might result in delayed diagnosis. Hence, this case report aimed to investigate three cases of IMOS and discuss imaging findings and clinical outcomes. Case presentation All three cases were examined between 2015 and 2019. The location of osteosclerotic lesions were femoral diaphyses in the 60-year-old man (Case 1) and 41-year-old woman (Case 2) and tibial diaphysis in the 44-year-old woman (Case 3). All cases complained of severe pain and showed massive diaphyseal osteosclerotic lesions in plain radiograms and computed tomography (CT) scans. Cases 2 and 3 were examined using the triphasic bone scan, and a fusiform-shaped intense area of the tracer uptake on delayed bone image was detected in both cases without (Case 2) or slightly increased vascularity (Case 3) on the blood pool image, which was reported as a specific finding of IMOS. Open biopsy was performed in all cases, and histologic section showed trabecular bone sclerosis with hypocellular fibrous tissues, finally diagnosed as IMOS. The pain was sharply improved after biopsy and kept at the latest follow-up periods (34, 33, and 6 months in Cases 1, 2, and 3, respectively). Conclusions Massive sclerotic lesions with severe pain in the diaphyseal region of long bones should be considered as IMOS to avoid the delayed diagnosis, although other sclerotic bony lesions should be carefully excluded. Triphasic bone scan with a fusiform-shaped intense area of tracer uptake on delayed bone image and without or slightly increased vascularity on the blood pool image will help confirm IMOS. The role of open biopsy was to confirm the diagnosis of IMOS and to give the severe pain relief immediately in the three cases, although more cases and long-term follow-up are necessary.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hyperuricemia occurs in approximately 80% in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and is positively correlated with pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). It has been reported that uric acid (UA) reduced endothelium derived nitric oxide (NO) production in porcine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAEC). However, the effects of UA and xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), catalytic enzyme of UA, on the development of PAH have not been fully elucidated.
Purpose
We examined the followings; (1) the effects of hyperuricemia on the endothelial function and the development of PAH in rats (2) the therapeutic effects of UA transporter inhibitor on PAH in rats, and (3) the role of XOR in PAH in mice.
Methods
We used normal and 5-wk Sugen5416/Hypoxia/Normoxia-exposed (SU/Hx/Nx) rats. Gene expression levels of URATv1, a UA transporter, were measured by RT-PCR. We determined the isometric tension of PA rings isolated from normal rats. The study with the isolated perfused lung preparation was performed in SU/HX/Nx rats. To investigate the chronic effect of UA on the development of PAH, hyperuricemia was induced by the administration of 2% oxonic acid (OA) in diet for 6-wk. Benzbromarone (BBR, 10mg/kg/day, diet, from weeks 0 to 5), a URATv1 transporter inhibitor, was administered in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats with or without 2%OA. To examine the role of XOR in PAH, XOR+/− and wild type (WT) mice were exposed to 3-wk Nx or Hx (10% O2).
Results
The mRNA of URATv1 was detected in the normal lungs. Isometric tension study showed that UA (8 mg/dl) inhibited acetylcholine-induced vasorelaxation. In perfused lung preparations, UA acutely increased estimated PVR in a dose-dependent manner (1.6–16.0mg/dl) with reducing cGMP levels in the lungs. BBR significantly attenuated the pressor response to UA. UA levels in the plasma and the lung tissues were significantly elevated in SU/Hx/Nx-rats with 2%OA (normal vs. vehicle vs. 2%OA, plasma: 0.24±0.01 vs. 0.80±0.14 and 1.44±0.17 mg/dl; lung tissues: 68±3 vs. 142±3 and 377±46 pmol/g tissue). They exhibited further elevation of right ventricle systolic pressure (RVSP) (31±2 vs. 72±6 vs. 101±3 mmHg) and Ea (a marker of RV afterload) (0.24±0.04 vs. 0.97±0.15 vs. 2.36±0.49 mmHg/μL) with the exacerbation of occlusive lesions of PAs. BBR had no changes in the UA levels in the plasma (1.93±0.30 mg/dL), but significantly reduced the UA levels in the lung tissues (101±10 pmol/g tissue) and attenuated the increase in RVSP (53±8mmHg) and Ea (0.21±0.05 mmHg/mL) in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats with 2%OA. On the other hand, BBR had no effects on RVSP (76±7 mmHg) and Ea (0.91±0.15 mmHg/mL) in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats without 2%OA. There were no significant differences in RVSP between XOR+/− mice with Hx and WT with Hx (26±2 vs. 26±2 mmHg).
Conclusions
Hyperuricemia itself impairs endothelial function and deteriorates PAH via URATv1 in a XOR-independent manner. UA can be a novel therapeutic target for PAH.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
AMBITION Study (NCT01178073) provided the first long-term clinical evidence for initial combination therapy with ambrisentan and tadalafil (COMB) compared with monotherapy of either agent (MONO), and the results contributed to the ESC/ERS guidelines recommending initial combination therapy in PAH patients with low and intermediate risk. However, predictors of response to initial oral combination therapy to identify PAH patients who benefit most from it have not been assessed.
Purpose
To identify potential predictors of response to initial combination therapy with ambrisentan and tadalafil (COMB) in PAH patients with WHO-FC II or III in the AMBITION study.
Methods
We examined 302 COMB patients from the modified intention to treat (mITT) population enrolled in the AMBITION study (n=605). The mITT population includes PAH patients with risk factors related to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (Ex-PAS) who were excluded from the primary analysis set (PAS). A responder (i.e. event-free subject) was defined as not having a clinical failure event. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the factors associated with responders. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent risk for each factor that showed a significant difference between cohorts by interactive backward selection. Odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and p-values are presented.
Results
Univariate analysis showed that responders tended to be lower age, female, typical PAH (i.e. PAS), absence of coronary artery disease, non-use of oxygen therapy, and have better baseline parameters (i.e., lower NT-proBNP, longer 6-minute walk distance, low Borg index, high SaO2, WHO-FC II). A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female gender (OR=2.669, 95% CI: 1.291–5.518, P=0.0081), use of aldosterone antagonist diuretics (OR=2.535, 95% CI: 1.027–6.257, P=0.0436), lower log NT-proBNP (OR=0.704, 95% CI: 0.524–0.944, P=0.0190), and longer 6-minute walk distance (OR=1.006, 95% CI: 1.002–1.010, P=0.0039) were independent predictors of response to initial combination therapy.
Conclusion
These findings suggest that initial combination therapy with ambrisentan and tadalafil is beneficial, especially in less severe typical PAH patients. It also demonstrates that there is a potential contributing factor (i.e. use of aldosterone antagonist diuretics) which is not listed in the risk assessment table of the ESC/ERS guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM In this study, we investigated the locations and surgical complications of schwannomas. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data of 130 patients with schwannomas were retrospectively reviewed. Pre- and post-operative neurological symptoms, tumor locations, and nerves of origin (sensory, motor, or mixed) were reviewed. RESULTS Before surgery, 69 patients had Tinel-like signs, 56 patients had pain, 32 patients had numbness, four patients had motor deficits. After surgery, 20 patients had developed a new neurological deficit; 11 patients had motor deficits, ten patients had sensory deficits, and one patient had both motor and sensory deficits. Most schwannomas occurred in mixed nerves, including the median nerve in 17 patients and tibial nerve in 13 patients. CONCLUSION The most common site of schwannoma was the median nerve. Although the nerve of origin of the schwannoma could be identified in only 26.0% of cases, the data suggest that schwannomas occur in both sensory and motor nerves.

Abstract
Frozen autograft of tumour-bearing bone using liquid nitrogen as a recycling autograft has various advantages. This paper is the first report focusing on the fate of grafted cartilage in recycled autograft after bone tumour excision. We found hemicondylar frozen autograft is promising reconstruction method.
There are several options for biological reconstruction after bone tumor resection. If the tumor invades an epiphysis, the reconstruction is far more complicated because there is no option to restore large joint cartilage using currently available medical techniques. Frozen autograft with liquid nitrogen has been used as recycled autologous bone graft and the purpose of the present study was to assess the outcome of grafted cartilage in osteoarticular frozen autografts used in the treatment of patients with bone and soft-tissue sarcoma. We have treated 27 patients with cases of bone tumor resection involving an epiphysis where frozen autografts were used for reconstruction. If the tumor was located in a limited part of the epiphysis, partial resection of the epiphysis was performed to preserve the healthy part of the cartilage in 4 cases. The survival of grafted frozen cartilage was assessed by X-ray imaging. The end point was defined as grade IV of the Kellgren and Lawrence osteoarthritis grading system and was recorded using the Kaplan–Meier method. In case of removal of grafted bone after the surgery, pathological findings were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining of sections of resected cartilage in available cases to observe the fate of grafted cartilage over time. The postoperative mean follow-up period was 94.0 months. Grade IV osteoarthritis occurred in 12 patients. All patients in the partial epiphyseal freezing group survived compared with only 1 patient in the total epiphyseal freezing group who had survived to the final follow up (p < 0.01). Resected specimens with grafted cartilage were examined histologically. A sample excised after 14 months had dead cartilage with empty lacunae and the surface of the cartilage had reactive fibrous tissue. Grafted cartilage of frozen osteoarticular autografts was worn out over time. However, intraepiphyseal resection preserving partial healthy cartilage resulted in excellent survival. This technique requires careful planning of the surgery but might be an alternative to megaprosthesis.

Abstract
Time-lapse confocal fluorescence microscopy images from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) carrying reporter genes, histone H2B-mCherry and Mvh-Venus, have been used to monitor dynamic changes in cellular/differentiation characteristics of live ESCs. Accurate cell nucleus segmentation is required to analyse the ESC dynamics and differentiation at a single cell resolution. Several methods used concavities on nucleus contours to segment overlapping cell nuclei. Our proposed method evaluates not only the concavities but also the size and shape of every 2D nucleus region to determine if any of the strait, extrusion, convexity and large diameter criteria is satisfied to segment overlapping nuclei inside the region. We then use a 3D segmentation method to reconstruct simple, convex, and reasonably sized 3D nuclei along the image stacking direction using the radius and centre of every segmented region in respective microscopy images. To avoid false concavities on nucleus boundaries, fluorescence images of the H2B-mCherry reporter are used for localisation of cell nuclei and Venus fluorescence images are used for determining the cell colony ranges. We use a series of image preprocessing procedures to remove noise outside and inside cell colonies, and in respective nuclei, and to smooth nucleus boundaries based on the colony ranges. We propose dynamic data structures to record every segmented nucleus region and solid in sets (volumes) of 3D confocal images. The experimental results show that the proposed image preprocessing method preserves the areas of mouse ESC nuclei on microscopy images and that the segmentation method effectively segment out every nucleus with a reasonable size and shape. All 3D nuclei in a set (volume) of confocal microscopy images can be accessed by the dynamic data structures for 3D reconstruction. The 3D nuclei in time-lapse confocal microscopy images can be tracked to calculate cell movement and proliferation in consecutive volumes for understanding the dynamics of the differentiation characteristics about ESCs. LAY DESCRIPTION: Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are considered as an ideal source for basic cell biology study and producing medically useful cells in vitro. This study uses time-lapse confocal fluorescence microscopy images from mouse ESCs carrying reporter gene to monitor dynamic changes in cellular/differentiation characteristics of live ESCs. To automate analyses of ESC differentiation behaviours, accurate cell nucleus segmentation to distinguish respective cells are required. A series of image preprocessing procedures are implemented to remove noise in live-cell fluorescence images but yield overlapping cell nuclei. A segmentation method that evaluates boundary concavities and the size and shape of every nucleus is then used to determine if any of the strait, extrusion, convexity, large and local minimum diameter criteria satisfied to segment overlapping nuclei. We propose a dynamic data structure to record every newly segmented nucleus. The experimental results show that the proposed image preprocessing method preserves the areas of mouse ESC nuclei and that the segmentation method effectively detects overlapping nuclei. All segmented nuclei in confocal images can be accessed using the dynamic data structures to be visualised and manipulated for quantitative analyses of the ESC differentiation behaviours. The manipulation can be tracking of segmented 3D cell nuclei in time-lapse images to calculate their dynamics of differentiation characteristics.

Abstract
Electron antineutrino appearance is measured by the T2K experiment in an accelerator-produced antineutrino beam, using additional neutrino beam operation to constrain parameters of the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS) mixing matrix. T2K observes 15 candidate electron antineutrino events with a background expectation of 9.3 events. Including information from the kinematic distribution of observed events, the hypothesis of no electron antineutrino appearance is disfavored with a significance of 2.40σ and no discrepancy between data and PMNS predictions is found. A complementary analysis that introduces an additional free parameter which allows non-PMNS values of electron neutrino and antineutrino appearance also finds no discrepancy between data and PMNS predictions.

Abstract
The present study aimed to clarify the possibility of detection of ovulation disorders and normal ovulation in Japanese Black cows using wearable wireless sensors based on continuous measurements of body surface temperature (ST) and neck acceleration data. For cows with normal ovulation (n=19, 8.5 years old, 476.2kg), controlled internal drug release (CIDR) and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone were administered on arbitrary days of the oestrous cycle (Day −10), and oestrus was induced by CIDR removal and prostaglandin F2α administration (Day −3). Ovulation (Day 0) was induced by gonadotrophin-releasing hormone administration on estimated oestrus day (Day −1) and was detected based on the disappearance of ≥8mm follicles using ultrasonography at 1- to 2-h intervals. For cows with spontaneous ovarian cysts (n=11, 8.6 years old, 471.2kg), oestrus and the next day were defined as Days −1 and 0, respectively. Plasma concentrations of progesterone (P4) and oestradiol-17β (E2) were measured on Days −9, −6, −2, −1, 0, 1, 5, and 8. The body ST sensor was attached to the ventral tail base (Day −16), and ST was measured every 10min for 24 days. For analysis of ST, after extracting hourly maximum ST values, the values were expressed as residual ST (RST; ST − mean ST for the same hour on the previous 3 days) for removal of circadian rhythm (Miura et al. 2017 Anim. Reprod. Sci. 180, 50-57; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2017.03). The acceleration sensor (Farmnote Color, Farmnote Inc.) was attached to the neck (Day −16). Hourly oestrus level (amount of oestrus activity) was obtained from the amount of activity; the difference between the residual oestrus level (REL; same calculation as RST) and measured values of each day was used. To identify RST and REL of cows with normal ovulation and cows with ovarian cysts, the mean values and standard deviations for the same hours for 3-7 days before oestrus were calculated. Mean RST and REL for 3-7 days before oestrus were assumed according to the normal distribution. The 95% confidence range was determined using×1 standard deviation of all hours. Values over the 95% confidence range for ≥5h were considered to be different from the mean 4 days and the 5% level. For RST, no difference was found in both groups due to the large influence of environment, particularly low temperature. However, for REL, a difference was indicated for oestrus in all cows (P<0.05). A large peak of REL appeared once on oestrus (>14.4 REL for 20h) in normal cows, and three peaks occurred in <21 days (>16.2 REL for 21, 15, and 15h) in cows with ovulation disorders (P<0.05). The REL rapidly increased following peaking E2 and decreasing P4 to oestrus (Day −1) in normal cows. In cows with an ovulation disorder, REL increased on oestrus; however, E2 and P4 remained high and low stable to oestrus, respectively. In conclusion, oestrus activity and the characteristics of normal cows and those with an ovulation disorder can be detected by the neck acceleration sensor using the correction value.

Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are a rare cancer type. Almost half are unresponsive to multi-pronged treatment and might therefore benefit from biologically targeted therapy. An emerging target is glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)3β, which is implicated in various diseases including cancer. Here, we investigated the expression, activity and putative pathological role of GSK3β in synovial sarcoma and fibrosarcoma, comprising the majority of STS that are encountered in orthopedics. Expression of the active form of GSK3β (tyrosine 216-phosphorylated) was higher in synovial sarcoma (SYO-1, HS-SY-II, SW982) and in fibrosarcoma (HT1080) tumor cell lines than in untransformed fibroblast (NHDF) cells that are assumed to be the normal mesenchymal counterpart cells. Inhibition of GSK3β activity by pharmacological agents (AR-A014418, SB-216763) or of its expression by RNA interference suppressed the proliferation of sarcoma cells and their invasion of collagen gel, as well as inducing their apoptosis. These effects were associated with G0/G1-phase cell cycle arrest and decreased expression of cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)4 and matrix metalloproteinase 2. Intraperitoneal injection of the GSK3β inhibitors attenuated the growth of SYO-1 and HT1080 xenografts in athymic mice without obvious detrimental effects. It also mitigated cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in the tumors of mice. This study indicates that increased activity of GSK3β in synovial sarcoma and fibrosarcoma sustains tumor proliferation and invasion through the cyclin D1/CDK4-mediated pathway and enhanced extracellular matrix degradation. Our results provide a biological basis for GSK3β as a new and promising therapeutic target for these STS types.

Abstract
Fast ignition (FI) is a promising approach for high-energy-gain inertial confinement fusion in the laboratory. To achieve ignition, the energy of a short-pulse laser is required to be delivered efficiently to the pre-compressed fuel core via a high-energy electron beam. Therefore, understanding the transport and energy deposition of this electron beam inside the pre-compressed core is the key for FI. Here we report on the direct observation of the electron beam transport and deposition in a compressed core through the stimulated Cu Kα emission in the super-penetration scheme. Simulations reproducing the experimental measurements indicate that, at the time of peak compression, about 1% of the short-pulse energy is coupled to a relatively low-density core with a radius of 70 μm. Analysis with the support of 2D particle-in-cell simulations uncovers the key factors improving this coupling efficiency. Our findings are of critical importance for optimizing FI experiments in a super-penetration scheme.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to evaluate the antitumor effects of cyclolinopeptide (CL), which suppresses receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) signalling on giant-cell tumours of the bone (GCTB) cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS GCTB cell lines were established, and the inhibition of cell growth by CL was evaluated using the water-soluble tetrazolium salt-8 cell proliferation assay, cell cycle assay, and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) cell proliferation assay. RANKL and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) expression levels were evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction before and after CL administration. RESULTS The dose-dependent inhibition of GCTB cells was significantly pronounced in the CL-administered group compared to the non-CL-administered group (p<0.05). In the CL-administered group, the ratio of cells in the G0/G1 phase was increased, but the ratio of EdU-positive cells was decreased (p<0.05). RANKL and RUNX2 levels were decreased in the CL-administered group (p<0.05). CONCLUSION CL has antitumor effects on GCTB in vitro.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although the patient's characteristics and outcome of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have been sufficiently investigated and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been recognized as established treatment strategy, those of recent myocardial infarction (RMI) have not been fully evaluated.
Purpose
The purpose of the present study was to clarify clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of RMI patients from the database of the Tokyo CCU network multicenter registry.
Methods
In Tokyo CCU network multicenter registry database from 2013 to 2016, 15788 consecutive patients were registered as AMI (within 24 hours from onset) and RMI (within 2–30 days from onset). However 1246 patients were excluded because of inadequate data. And we excluded 66 cases because of out of onset period and 129 cases that strongly suspected of involvement of vasospastic events. Therefore, remaining 14347 patients were categorized to RMI group (n=1853) and AMI group (n=12494), and analyzed.
Results
Compared with AMI group, average age was older (70.4±12.9 vs 68.0±13.4 years, p<0.001), male was less (72.4 vs 76.4%, p<0.001), chest pain as chief complaint was less (75.2 vs 83.6%, p<0.001), prevalence of diabetes mellitus was higher (35.9 vs 31.0%, p<0.001), multi-vessel coronary disease was more (54.7 vs 44.6%, p<0.001), patients undergoing PCI was less (79.0 vs 91.2%, p<0.001), and the incidence of mechanical complication was more in RMI group (3.0 vs 1.5%, p<0.001). Although 30-day mortality was equivalent between 2 groups (5.3 vs 5.8%, p=0.360), the major cause of death in AMI group was cardiogenic shock, while in the RMI group it was a mechanical complication. On Kaplan-Meier analysis, the 2 groups had significantly different cumulative incidence of death due to cardiogenic shock (p=0.006, Log-rank test) and mechanical complication (p=0.021, Log-rank test). Furthermore death due to mechanical complication in AMI group was plateau after about 1 week from hospitalization, whereas in RMI group it continued to increase.
Kaplan-Meier analysis
Conclusions
RMI patients had distinctive clinical features in backgrounds and treatment strategies compared with AMI patients, and the major cause of death of RMI patients was different from that of AMI patients. Furthermore, even though treatment during hospitalization of RMI patients was well done, death due to mechanical complications continued to increase.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) requires a lifelong anticoagulation therapy. However, the efficacy or safety of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have not been established in CTEPH.
Purpose
We aimed to evaluate the effects of NOACs on the changes in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and their adverse events such as bleeding and clinical worsening in CTEPH.
Methods
We retrospectively compared the changes in PVR among CTEPH patients taking vitamin-K antagonists (VKA) (n=38) and those taking NOACs (n=46) to evaluate the effectiveness of NOACs for the prophylaxis of thrombotic disease progression in CTEPH. Also, we extracted incidence of clinically relevant bleeding and clinical worsening in CTEPH as an exploratory outcome measures. Clinical worsening in CTEPH was defined as composite outcome of death from any cause, lung transplantation and worsening pulmonary hypertension that resulted in hospitalization, addition of specific drug for pulmonary hypertension, or rescue pulmonary endarterectomy or balloon pulmonary angioplasty. Clinically relevant bleeding was defined as composite major bleeding and/or clinically relevant non-major bleeding, which is defined as bleeding associated with the need for medical intervention, contact with a physician, interruption of anticoagulation therapy, discomfort or impairment of activities of daily life.
Results
The changes in PVR (VKA group; −0.17±0.82 woods unit/year, NOACs group; −0.44±0.89 woods unit/year, p=0.32) were comparable between VKA and NOACs groups. The incidence of clinical worsening in CTEPH (VKA group; 1.8% per patient-year, NOACs group; 0% per patient-year) and clinically relevant bleeding (VKA group; 2.8% per patient-year, NOACs group; 2.8% per patient-year) was comparable between the VKA and NOACs groups. D-dimer levels (VKA group; 0.58±0.22 μg/ml, NOACs group; 0.67±0.47 μg/ml, p=0.41) were also comparable between the groups.
Conclusions
Our study revealed that NOACs had a similar effectiveness in the prevention of thrombotic disease progression in CTEPH as compared with VKA. The result suggest that NOACs might have similar efficacy and safety as VKA in daily clinical practice.
