Abstract
BACKGROUND Liposome bupivacaine (LB) is a long-acting anesthetic to enhance postoperative analgesia. Studies evaluating the efficacy of the LB against an active comparator (bupivacaine or placebo) on acute postoperative pain control in hemorrhoidectomy procedures are few and heterogeneous. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing LB's analgesic efficacy and side effects to conventional/placebo anesthetic in hemorrhoidectomy patients. METHODS We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials investigating the use of LB after haemorrhoidectomy. We searched the literature published from the time of inception of the datasets to August 19, 2022. The electronic databases included English publications in Ovid MEDLINE In-Process & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, and Scopus. RESULTS A total of 338 patients who underwent a hemorrhoidectomy procedure enrolled in three randomized clinical trials were included. The overall mean age was 45.84 years (SD ± 11.43), and there was a male predominance (53.55% male). In total 194 patients (52.2%) received LB and 144 (47.8%) received either bupivacaine or placebo. Pain scores at 72 h in the LB (199, 266, and 300 mg) were significantly lower than in the bupivacaine HCl group (p = 0.002). Compared to the bupivacaine/placebo group, the time to first use of opioids in the LB group was significantly longer at LB 199 mg (11 h vs. 9 h), LB 266 mg (19 h vs. 9 h), and LB 300 mg (19 h vs. 8 h) (p < 0.05). Moreover, compared to the bupivacaine/epinephrine group, it was significantly lower in the LB 266 mg group (3.7 vs. 10.2 mg) and at LB 300 mg (13 vs. 33 mg) (p < 0.05). Finally, regarding adverse effects, the conventional anesthetic/placebo group reported more pain in bowel movement than LB groups (OR 2.60, 95% CI 1.31-5.16). CONCLUSIONS Comparing LB to conventional anesthetic/placebo anesthetic for hemorrhoidectomy, we found a statistically significant reduction in pain through 72 h, decreased opioid requirements, and delayed time to first opioid use. Moreover, the conventional anesthetic/placebo group reported more pain in bowel movement than LB groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have suggested that sitting time at work may lead to underperformance but they may underestimate the benefits to desk workers' performance of reducing occupational sitting time without considering the relative effects of the specific activities replaced. AIMS To estimate differences in work performance (presenteeism, absenteeism and engagement) when occupational sitting time is reallocated to standing/stepping in desk workers. METHODS Data for middle-aged desk workers were from a Japan-wide online survey (n = 2228). Self-report proportion of occupational sitting and standing/stepping, work hours and work performance indicators, including absolute (ratings relating only to self) and relative (ratings of self, compared to others) presenteeism and absenteeism, and dimensions of work engagement, were collected. Partition and isotemporal substitution models were used to investigate the associations of occupational sitting and standing/stepping time with work performance, including their reallocation effects. RESULTS In partition models, longer occupational sitting time was associated with a lower absolute presenteeism score (i.e. less productivity), lower absolute absenteeism (i.e. longer-than-expected work hours), and lower engagement. Longer occupational standing/stepping time was associated with lower absolute absenteeism and more engagement. Isotemporal substitution models showed that each hour of occupational sitting reallocated to standing/stepping was favourably associated with overall work engagement (B = 0.087; 95% confidence interval 0.051, 0.122) and its dimensions (B ranged from 0.078 to 0.092), but was not associated with presenteeism or absenteeism. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that management support and practical initiatives to encourage desk workers to replace portions of their sitting time with standing/stepping may contribute to enhanced work engagement.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has improved prognosis and quality of life of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) who had been considered inoperable or at high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement reflecting their age, frailty, and comorbidities. However, less is known about changes in cardiac geometry after TAVI procedure, and predictors of them.
Purpose
To clarify changes in cardiac geometry after TAVI, and their predictors.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed patients with severe AS who underwent TAVI in our institute between May 2016 and June 2018. Of the 117 consecutive patients enrolled to this study, 12 patients died before six-month follow up, and finally 88 patients received follow up exams including echocardiography at six months after TAVI procedure.
Results
The analysis of echocardiographic data at the baseline and the six-month follow up of the 88 patients (age 86.2±4.0 years, male 19.3%, STS-PROM 6.76±3.28%, peak aortic jet velocity 4.67±0.75m/s) revealed that left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVi) (from 80.1±20.9ml/m2to 74.2±15.9ml/m2, p=0.011), and left ventricular mass index (LVMi) (from 116.0±32.7g/m2to 93.6±25.6g/m2, p<0.001) had improved in six months after TAVI procedure. The difference of LVEDVi (ΔLVEDVi: six-month LVEDVi–baseline LVEDVi) and the difference of LVMi (ΔLVMi: six-month LVMi – baseline LVMi) were significantly higher in the patients with chronic atrial fibrillation compared to the rest (ΔLVEDVi: +7.7±8.7ml/m2 vs −7.2±18.1ml/m2, p=0.024; ΔLVMi: +7.1±11.5g/m2 vs −25.3±33.5g/m2, p=0.008). In echocardiographic data, ΔLVEDVi and ΔLVMi both had positive correlation between baseline E/e' ratio (ΔLVEDVi: r=0.224, p=0.048; ΔLVMi: r=0.240, p=0.034), and negative correlation between baseline LVEDVi (ΔLVEDVi: r=−0.674, p<0.001; ΔLVMi: r=−0.312, p=0.003), LVMi (ΔLVEDVi: r=−0.422, p<0.001; ΔLVMi: r=−0.699, p<0.001), peak aortic jet velocity (ΔLVEDVi: r=−0.257, p=0.016; ΔLVMi: r=−0.376, p<0.001), and mean transaortic pressure gradient (ΔLVEDVi: r=−0.269, p=0.011; ΔLVMi: r=−0.403, p<0.001).
Conclusion
TAVI resulted in reverse remodeling and regression of hypertrophy in left ventricle. And these improvement were grater in patients with more advanced left ventricular remodeling and hypertrophy, and higher severity of AS at the baseline, however, less in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation and worse diastolic dysfunction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present quantitative study aimed to assess the three-dimensional (3-D) cartilage wear patterns of the first metacarpal and trapezium in the advanced stage of osteoarthritis (OA) and compare cartilage measurements with radiographic severity. DESIGN Using 19 cadaveric trapeziometacarpal (TMC) joints, 3-D cartilage surface models of the first metacarpal and trapezium were created with a laser scanner, and 3-D bone surface model counterparts were similarly created after dissolving the cartilage. These two models were superimposed, and the interval distance on the articular surface as the cartilage thickness was measured. All measurements were obtained in categorized anatomic regions on the articular surface of the respective bone, and we analyzed the 3-D wear patterns on the entire cartilage surface. Furthermore, we compared measurements of cartilage thickness with radiographic OA severity according to the Eaton grading system using Pearson correlation coefficients (r). RESULTS In the first metacarpal, the cartilage thickness declined volarly (the mean cartilage thickness of the volar region was 0.32 ± 0.16 mm, whereas that of the dorsal region was 0.53 ± 0.18 mm). Conversely, the cartilage evenly degenerated throughout the articular surface of the trapezium. Measurements of the categorized regions where cartilage thinning was remarkable exhibited statistical correlations with radiographic staging (r = -0.48 to -0.72). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that cartilage wear patterns differ between the first metacarpal and trapezium in the late stage of OA. There is a need for further studies on cartilage degeneration leading to symptomatic OA in the TMC joint.

Abstract
An active recording x-ray crystal spectrometer for extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) has been built using a position sensitive detector of the self scanning photodiode array (SSPA) type. The SSPA detector has energy and position sensitivity for x-rays. The spectrometer was applied to the measurement for EXAFS of the several compounds in foil, powder and liquid states. The spectra can be obtained rapidly, and compare very well with other methods. We found that the SSPA detector is very useful for the measurement of EXAFS.

Abstract
A charge excitation in a two-dimensional Mott insulator is strongly coupled with the surrounding spins, which is observed as magnetic-polaron formations of doped carriers and a magnon sideband in the Mott-gap transition spectrum. However, the dynamics related to the spin sector are difficult to measure. Here, we show that pump-probe reflection spectroscopy with seven-femtosecond laser pulses can detect the optically induced spin dynamics in Nd2CuO4, a typical cuprate Mott insulator. The bleaching signal at the Mott-gap transition is enhanced at ~18 fs. This time constant is attributable to the spin-relaxation time during magnetic-polaron formation, which is characterized by the exchange interaction. More importantly, ultrafast coherent oscillations appear in the time evolution of the reflectivity changes, and their frequencies (1400-2700 cm-1) are equal to the probe energy measured from the Mott-gap transition peak. These oscillations can be interpreted as the interference between charge excitations with two magnons originating from charge-spin coupling.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of improving the attitude of dental students towards the use of a full-body patient simulation system (SIMROID) compared to the traditional mannequin (CLINSIM) for dental clinical education. MATERIALS AND METHODS The participants were 10 male undergraduate dental students who had finished clinical training in the university hospital 1 year before this study started. They performed a crown preparation on an upper pre-molar tooth using SIMROID and CLINSIM as the practical clinical trials. The elapsed time for preparation was recorded. The taper of the abutment teeth was measured using a 3-dimensional shape-measuring device after this trial. In addition, a self-reported questionnaire was collected that included physical pain, treatment safety and maintaining a clean area for each simulator. Qualitative data analysis of a free format report about SIMROID was performed using text mining analysis. This trial was performed twice at 1-month intervals. RESULTS The students considered physical pain, treatment safety and a clean area for SIMROID significantly better than that for CLINSIM (P < .01). The elapsed time of preparation in the second practical clinical trial was significantly lower than in the first for SIMROID and CLINSIM (P < .01). However, there were no significant differences between the abutment tapers for both systems. For the text mining analysis, most of the students wrote that SIMROID was similar to real patients. CONCLUSION The use of SIMROID was proven to be effective in improving the attitude of students towards patients, thereby giving importance to considerations for actual patients during dental treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantify the bone density and stress distribution patterns in long-standing cubitus varus and clarify the effects of the deformity on bone density. DESIGN We created three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) elbow models from 21 patients with long-standing cubitus varus deformities without advanced osteoarthritis (OA) and assessed the deformity by superimposing the affected humerus onto a mirror-image of the contralateral normal. Elbows were divided into 13 regions before measuring the bone density of each region and comparing the percentage of high-density volume (%HDV) between affected and normal sides. We constructed finite element models and quantitatively analyzed stress distribution. RESULTS Average degrees of deformities were 20.1° of varus, 6.4° of extension, and 12.7° of internal rotation. The medial side of the affected humerus and ulna, Anteromedial trochlea (P < 0.001), Medial coronoid (P = 0.004), and Medial olecranon (P = 0.049) had significantly higher %HDVs than their normal counterparts. Conversely, %HDVs on the affected lateral side, Capitellum (P < 0.001), Anterolateral trochlea (P = 0.010), Posterolateral trochlea (P < 0.001), Lateral coronoid (P = 0.007), and Lateral olecranon (P < 0.001) were significantly lower than the normal side. The affected radial head %HDVs at Anterolateral and Posteromedial quadrants were high (P = 0.007) and low (P = 0.007), respectively. The bone density distribution coincided with stress distribution patterns revealed by finite element analysis (FEA), except in the lateral region influenced by forearm rotation. CONCLUSIONS Repetitive stress on the medial elbow may alter bone density distribution patterns, probably presenting from early stage of OA.

Abstract
Objective Inconsistent results have been found in prior studies investigating the accuracy of self‐reported waist circumference, and no study has investigated the validity of self‐reported waist circumference among Japanese individuals. This study used the diagnostic standard of metabolic syndrome to assess the accuracy of individual's self‐reported height, weight and waist circumference in a Japanese sample. Methods Study participants included 7,443 Japanese men and women aged 35–79 years. They participated in a cohort study's baseline survey between 2007 and 2011. Participants' height, weight and waist circumference were measured, and their body mass index was calculated. Self‐reported values were collected through a questionnaire before the examination. Results Strong correlations between measured and self‐reported values for height, weight and body mass index were detected. The correlation was lowest for waist circumference (men, 0.87; women, 0.73). Men significantly overestimated their waist circumference (mean difference, 0.8 cm), whereas women significantly underestimated theirs (mean difference, 5.1 cm). The sensitivity of self‐reported waist circumference using the cut‐off value of metabolic syndrome was 0.83 for men and 0.57 for women. Conclusions Due to systematic and random errors, the accuracy of self‐reported waist circumference was low. Therefore, waist circumference should be measured without relying on self‐reported values, particularly in the case of women.

Abstract
Abstract
[Background]
Past studies revealed that a moderate to high level of physical activity after diagnosis of breast cancer reduces both the risk of breast cancer-related death and death from all causes. Furthermore, some randomized studies suggested that exercise programs improve the percentage of patients who complete the chemotherapy and quality of life, and decrease fatigue, and adverse events. The issues to be determined include defining an established uniform exercise program and the efficacy of a long-term exercise program after breast cancer surgery.
[Object] To elucidate the efficacy of a long-term exercise program and to verify the safety and feasibility of a uniform exercise program using an ‘existing social resource’ after primary therapy of breast cancer.
[Design] A multi-center, randomized trial.
[Method] Subjects: The subjects included patients who had completed treatment for primary breast cancer, including surgery and/or adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients with metastatic breast cancer were excluded.
Randomization & intervention: The patients were randomly assigned to three groups.
The first group followed an exercise program at Curves® that involved 30 minutes of exercise, including aerobics, weight training, and stretching 3 times a week for 4 months. The second group was given life-style guidance at least once that patients participate in a lecture program about recommended exercise at this point and the importance of weight control after diagnosis of breast cancer using a brochure. The third group served as controls that the patients receive a brochure used same one in the second group. The variables included age and weight.
Outcome: The primary endpoint is level of physical activity at 1 year after randomization, and the secondary endpoints are the percentage of those completing the exercise program, patient reported outcomes (QOL, cancer or treatment associated symptoms, fatigue, depression, and anxiety), body mass index, bone density, and level of lymphedema.
Period of research: The study will last 2 years beginning March 2016.
Sample size: We plan to enroll 400 patients to detect 20% difference with 90% power.
Additional study: Some biochemical markers in the blood will be evaluated to determine the mechanism of the effect of exercise on the human body.

Abstract
A novel method of ultrafast rotation of a ring-shaped optical lattice in the picosecond time region was proposed and demonstrated. Our ring-lattice generator was assembled by a pair of linearly chirped pulses with a time delay, a high-order birefringent retarder, and an axially symmetric polarization element. Using a mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser oscillator as a light source, stable two-, four-, and six-petaled ring-lattice rotations were demonstrated with the rotation periods of 1.6, 3.2, and 4.8 ps, respectively. Our method has the potential to open up a new technique to resonantly excite propagating quasi-particles together with their coherent enhancement.

Abstract
Probiotics are live microorganisms ingested for the purpose of conferring a health benefit on the host. Development of new probiotics includes the need for safety evaluations that should consider factors such as pathogenicity, infectivity, virulence factors, toxicity, and metabolic activity. Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588® (CBM 588®), an anaerobic spore-forming bacterium, has been developed as a probiotic for use by humans and food animals. Safety studies of this probiotic strain have been conducted and include assessment of antimicrobial sensitivity, documentation of the lack of Clostridium toxin genes, and evaluation of CBM 588® on reproductive and developmental toxicity in a rodent model. With the exception of aminoglycosides, to which anaerobes are intrinsically resistant, CBM 588® showed sensitivity to all antibiotic classes important in human and animal therapeutics. In addition, analysis of the CBM 588® genome established the absence of genes for encoding for α, β, or ε toxins and botulin neurotoxins types A, B, E, or F. There were no deleterious reproductive and developmental effects observed in mice associated with the administration of CBM 588®. These data provide further support for the safety of CBM 588® for use as a probiotic in animals and humans.

Abstract
Novel endovascular approaches are needed for safer and more definitive treatment of wide-necked aneurysms, to overcome the limitations of the Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC) system and further, the application of this technique. The double GDC technique (DGT), for embolization of wide-necked aneurysms, and the combination of stent placement and coil deposition (CTSC) for management of fusiform aneurysms have been developed and their usefulness is reviewed. The DGT involves scaffolding of a GDC coil to form a stabilizing frame inside the aneurysmal neck and then positioning of a second coil to reinforce the first coil. After confirming the absence of coil herniation in the parent artery, both coils are released together. A patient with a wide-necked large aneurysm of the left internal carotid artery was treated using this technique, and followed up angiographically and clinically for a period of three months. The follow-up angiograms revealed complete embolization of the aneurysm. The patient had no neurological changes or adverse events during the procedure. The CTSC involves reconstructing the artery with a stent and packing the aneurysm lumen with GDCs through the stent interstices. A patient with a dissecting fusiform aneurysm of the vertebral artery associated with hypoplasia of the contralateral vertebral artery was treated using this technique to prevent rebleeding. His clinical course was uneventful over a six-month follow-up period. Angiography performed two months after the procedure confirmed excellent flow through the right vertebral artery and absence of filling of the daughter aneurysm.

Abstract
Organ-specific stem cells play key roles in maintaining the epithelial cell layers of lung. Bronchioalveolar stem cells (BASCs) are distal lung epithelial stem cells of adult mice. Alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells have important functions and serve as progenitor cells of alveolar type 1 (AT1) cells to repair the epithelium when they are injured. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) elicits mitogenic, morphogenic, and anti-apoptotic effects on lung epithelial cells through tyrosine phosphorylation of Met receptor, and thus is recognized as a pulmotrophic factor. To understand which cells HGF targets in lung, we identified the cells expressing Met by immunofluorescence assay. Met was strongly expressed in BASCs, which expressed an AT2 cell marker, pro-SP-C, and a club cell marker, CCSP. In alveoli, we found higher expression of Met in primary AT2 than in AT1 cells, which was confirmed using primary AT2 cells. We further examined the mitogenic activity of HGF in AT2-cell-derived alveolar-like cysts (ALCs) in 3D culture. Multicellular ALCs expressed Met, and HGF enhanced the ALC production. Taking these findings together, BASCs could also be an important target for HGF, and HGF-Met signaling could function more potent on cells that have greater multipotency in adult lung.

Abstract
Microthrombi in 43 untreated and 26 treated cases of DIC were studied histologically and immunohistochemically. In the untreated cases, four types of microthrombi (intraluminal microthrombi with or without fibroblastic and/or smooth muscle cell reaction) were identified. Microthrombi in the former three types showed various degrees of thrombolysis. Failure of thrombolysis seemed to lead the organization of microthrombi. These morphological findings were considered to indicate the course of DIC and the degree of disappearance of the microthrombi in DIC. Microthrombi in the hepatic sinusoids and glomerular capillaries were studied with special reference to the removal processes of the microthrombi. Pathogenesis of renal cortical necrosis in DIC was also discussed. The number of microthrombi was markedly decreased by heparin and gabexate mesilate treatment. The incidences of microthrombi in the liver, kidney, lung, and heart were compared in the two treated groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Oxytalan fibers are categorized as a microfibril assembly without elastin deposition, and are unique components in the periodontal ligament (PDL). However, little is known about their formation during PDL development. To clarify the mechanisms of oxytalan fiber formation in developing PDL, we performed immunohistochemical analysis to detect the direct expression of fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2, which are major components of microfibrils. MATERIAL AND METHODS Frozen sections of lower molars from mice at several stages of growth were prepared without chemical fixation and decalcification using the film transfer method. Immunostaining was performed with anti-fibrillin-1 and -2, and anticytokeratin antibodies. RESULTS Fibrillin-1 was not expressed in the dental follicle during the crown forming stage. At postneonatal day 9, fibrillin-1 expression started with meshwork appearance between the epithelial cells from Hertwig's epithelial root sheath at the root dentin surface. Fibirillin-2 was detected much earlier than fibrillin-1 expression. Fibrillin-2 was expressed with a liner appearance, running parallel to the root axis in PDL, and was partially co-expressed with cytokeratin 14 expression in Hertwig's epithelial root sheath. Furthermore, we detected both fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 expression in human PDL. Fibrillin-1 was detected in fibers with a vertically oriented root axis in PDL. Fibrillin-2 was widely expressed in PDL, including around the epithelial cell rests of Malassez. Fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 were clearly co-expressed in thick fiber structures in human PDL. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that both fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 expression is required to form thick oxytalan fibers in PDL. Based on the expression patterns for fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2, they have different functions during tooth root and PDL development. Early expression of fibrillin-2 may regulate dental epithelial cell behavior during root and PDL development.

Abstract
Use of ceramics and polymers continues to dominate clinical procedures in modern dentistry. Polymers have provided the basis for adhesives, tissue void fillers, and artificial replacements for whole teeth. They have been remarkably effective in the clinic at restoration of major dental functions after damage or loss of teeth. With the rapid development of polymer science, dental materials science has significantly lagged behind in harnessing these advanced polymer products. What they offer is new and unique properties superior to traditional polymers and crucially a range of properties that more closely match natural biomaterials. Therefore, we should pursue more vigorously the benefits of advanced polymers in dentistry. In this review, we highlight how the latest generation of advanced polymers will enhance the application of materials in the dental clinic using numerous promising examples. Polymers have a broad range of applications in modern dentistry. Some major applications are to construct frameworks that mimic the precise structure of tissues, to restore tooth organ function, and to deliver bioactive agents to influence cell behavior from the inside. The future of polymers in dentistry must include all these new enhancements to increase biological and clinical effectiveness beyond what can be achieved with traditional biomaterials.

Abstract
We used FM imaging to identify neurons that receive sensory feedback from the body wall in a circuit for octopamine (OA)-evoked rhythmic locomotion in the earthworm, Eisenia fetida. We visualized synapses in which postsynaptic neurons receive the sensory feedback, by using FM1-43 dye to label the synapses of both motor and sensory pathways that are associated with locomotion, then clearing the motor pathway synapse labeling, and finally identifying the target synapses by distinguishing physiologically functional synapses through destaining using a high-K(+) solution. A pair of synaptic regions associated with the sensory feedback was found to be located two or three cell body-widths away from the midline, between the anterior parts of the roots of the second lateral nerves (LNs) at the segmental ganglia (SGs). Using conventional intracellular recording and dye loading of the cell bodies surrounding these synaptic regions, we identified a pair of bilateral neurons with cell bodies larger than those of other cells in these regions, and named them "Oscillatory firing neurons Projecting to Peripheral nerves" (OPPs). These had a bipolar shape and projected neurites to the ipsilateral first and third LNs, fired rhythmically, and had a burst timing synchronized with the motor pattern bursts from the ipsilateral first LNs. Current injection into an OPP caused firing in the ipsilateral first LNs, supporting the hypothesis that OPPs functionally project to the peripheral nerves. OPPs also sent neurites to the adjacent anterior and posterior SGs, suggesting connections with the adjacent segments. We conclude that FM imaging can be used to identify neurons involved in specific functions, and that OPPs are the first neurons to be associated with OA-induced locomotion in the earthworm.

Abstract
We retrospectively assessed the value of identifying impinging osteophytes using dynamic computer simulation of CT scans of the elbow in assisting their arthroscopic removal in patients with osteoarthritis of the elbow. A total of 20 patients were treated (19 men and one woman, mean age 38 years (19 to 55)) and followed for a mean of 25 months (24 to 29). We located the impinging osteophytes dynamically using computerised three-dimensional models of the elbow based on CT data in three positions of flexion of the elbow. These were then removed arthroscopically and a capsular release was performed. The mean loss of extension improved from 23° (10° to 45°) pre-operatively to 9° (0° to 25°) post-operatively, and the mean flexion improved from 121° (80° to 140°) pre-operatively to 130° (110° to 145°) post-operatively. The mean Mayo Elbow Performance Score improved from 62 (30 to 85) to 95 (70 to 100) post-operatively. All patients had pain in the elbow pre-operatively which disappeared or decreased post-operatively. According to their Mayo scores, 14 patients had an excellent clinical outcome and six a good outcome; 15 were very satisfied and five were satisfied with their post-operative outcome. We recommend this technique in the surgical management of patients with osteoarthritis of the elbow. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2014;96-B:237–41.

Abstract
This study reports a female patient who suffered from primary myelofibrosis at 38 years of age, breast cancer with myeloid metaplasia at 49 years of age, and pleural effusion and multiple subcutaneous nodules at 62 years of age. She was finally diagnosed with immature NK-cell leukemia or AML without maturation with CD56 expression transformation of extramedullary hematopoiesis that developed in the pleura, and died 11 months later. Atypical cells in the pleural effusion had surface markers of CD13, CD33, CD34, and CD56 using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis, and were positive for myeloperoxidase, CD34, CD43, and CD56 in a cell block material using an immunohistochemical method. Megakaryocytic and erythroblastic cells were also seen in the pleural effusion.

Abstract
Ca(2)Y(2)Cu(5)O(10) is built up from edge-shared CuO(4) plaquettes forming spin chains. From inelastic neutron scattering data we extract an in-chain nearest-neighbor exchange J(1)≈-170 K and the frustrating next-neighbor J(2)≈32 K interactions, both significantly larger than previous estimates. The ratio α=|J(2)/J(1)|=0.19±0.01 places the system close to the critical point α(c)=0.25 of the J(1)-J(2) chain but in the 1D ferromagnetic regime. We establish that the vicinity to criticality only marginally affects the dispersion and coherence of the spin-wave-like magnetic excitations but instead results in a dramatic T dependence of high-energy Zhang-Rice singlet excitation intensities.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS This study was aimed at the elucidation of the pathogenesis of glucotoxicity, i.e. the mechanism whereby hyperglycaemia damages pancreatic beta cells. The identification of pathways in the process may help identify targets for beta cell-protective therapy. Carbohydrate response element-binding protein (ChREBP), a transcription factor that regulates the expression of multiple hyperglycaemia-induced genes, is produced in abundance in pancreatic beta cells. We hypothesise that ChREBP plays a pivotal role in mediating beta cell glucotoxicity. METHODS We assessed the role of ChREBP in glucotoxicity in 832/13 beta cells, isolated mouse islets and human pancreas tissue sections using multiple complementary approaches under control and high-glucose-challenge conditions as well as in adeno-associated virus-induced beta cell-specific overexpression of Chrebp (also known as Mlxipl) in mice. RESULTS Under both in vitro and in vivo conditions, ChREBP activates downstream target genes, including fatty acid synthase and thioredoxin-interacting protein, leading to lipid accumulation, increased oxidative stress, reduced insulin gene transcription/secretion and enhanced caspase activity and apoptosis, processes that collectively define glucotoxicity. Immunoreactive ChREBP is enriched in the nucleuses of beta cells in pancreatic tissue sections from diabetic individuals compared with non-diabetic individuals. Finally, we demonstrate that induced beta cell-specific Chrebp overexpression is sufficient to phenocopy the glucotoxicity manifestations of hyperglycaemia in mice in vivo. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION These data indicate that ChREBP is a key transcription factor that mediates many of the hyperglycaemia-induced activations in a gene expression programme that underlies beta cell glucotoxicity at the molecular, cellular and whole animal levels.

Abstract
We describe a patient who was diagnosed with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) at 67-years-old and peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL) at 76-years-old, and died 5 months later. Both tumors showed prominent epithelioid cell reaction admixed with neoplastic cells. Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells in the swollen lymph node were positive for CD30 and EBV-encoded RNA (EBER). PTCL cells in the skin tumor were positive for cytoplasmic CD3ε, CD4 and EBER. A rearrangement band of the T-cell receptor gene was detected in the skin tumor. This case is the first documented EBV-associated composite lymphoma composed of CHL and PTCL. The patient may show the possibility that both EBV infection and/or immunodeficiency induce the development of CHL and PTCL.

Abstract
This study reports a 54-year-old man who was a carpenter by occupation. He suffered from left chest and back pain and left pleural effusion. Peripheral blood showed granulocytosis and high serum titers of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and CYFRA. He died 20 months later. At autopsy, a pleural tumor located around the left lung and thickening of the pericardium, diaphragm, and esophagus by tumor infiltration was seen. The tumor proliferated in papillary and solid alveolar patterns by neoplastic cells. They were positive for calretinin, D2-40, CK5/6, HBME-1, G-CSF, CK19, and E-cadherin. He was diagnosed with G-CSF-producing epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Abstract
This report describes a 60-year-old man with concurrent gastric extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL). Atypical, medium-sized, lymphoid cells proliferated in the mucosa to muscular layer of the stomach showing a lymphoepithelial lesion; admixed with Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells and an inflammatory cell background. MALT lymphoma cells expressed CD20, CD79a, PAX5, and BOB.1, and HRS cells expressed CD30, CD15, Epstein–Barr virus–encoded RNA, and EBV-latent membrane protein 1. Only CHL invaded into the regional lymph nodes. Two possibilities of transformation of MALT lymphoma into CHL and de novo CHL within MALT lymphoma are discussed.

Abstract
This study reports a 59-year-old man who suffered from multiple skeletal muscle amyloidomas and showed a rapidly fatal course. He noticed left inguinal pain and gait disturbance due to muscle weakness of the left leg. Protein in urine (3.3 g/d) and Bence-Jones protein of the κ type (2.3 g/d) were detected. Bone marrow aspiration showed 11.6% monoclonal plasma cells in nucleated cells. A core needle-biopsied and resected left inguinal tumor showed the deposition of eosinophilic amorphous materials positive for Congo red stain and the κ-light chain. He was diagnosed with plasma cell myeloma with AL (amyloid light chain) amyloidosis. Multiple soft-part tumors developed, grew rapidly, and he died 3 months after admission. At autopsy, 3 large amyloidomas were observed in the skeletal muscles, and prominent amyloid deposits were also seen in the diaphragm, intercostal muscle, iliopsoas muscle, and cervical skeletal muscles examined. Massive amyloid materials deposited diffusely in the propria muscularis of the gastrointestinal tract: the tongue to the rectum.

Abstract
Using low photon energy angle-resolved photoemission, we study the low-energy dispersion along the nodal (π,π) direction in Bi{2}Sr{2}CaCu{2}O{8+δ} as a function of temperature. Less than 10 meV below the Fermi energy, the high-resolution data reveal a novel "kinklike" feature in the electron self-energy that is distinct from the larger well-known kink roughly 70 meV below E{F}. This new kink is strongest below the superconducting critical temperature and weakens substantially at higher temperatures. A corollary of this finding is that the Fermi velocity v{F}, as measured in this low-energy range, varies rapidly with temperature-increasing by almost 30% from 70 to 110 K. The behavior of v{F}(T) appears to shift as a function of doping, suggesting a departure from simple "universality" in the nodal Fermi velocity of cuprates.

Abstract
An autopsy case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) with a peculiar form of extensive portal invasion is reported here. A 76-year-old woman presented with anorexia and abdominal discomfort. A high level of serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and endoscopically detected esophageal varices were found. Obvious mass lesion was not identified on CT scan and no portal blood flow was found. The patient died 6 months after admission. At autopsy multiple irregular shaped tumors in the liver were found. The size of the largest one was 3 x 2 cm. These tumors were well-differentiated adenocarcinomas with partial mucinous carcinoma morphology. Surprisingly, portal veins contained mucinous fluid and the inner surface was lined with a single layer of tumor cells but not endothelial cells. Invasion of carcinoma into the tissue outside the blood vessels was hardly observed in organs other than the liver. This form of extensive invasion of the tumor, termed intimal carcinoma spreading, caused complete obstruction of the portal system. To our knowledge there has been no report on this type of portal invasion of ICC.
