Abstract
BACKGROUND Type I Diabetes mellitus (T1D) is characterized by a specific destruction of β-cells by the immune system. During this process pro-inflammatory cytokines are released in the pancreatic islets and contribute for β-cells demise. Cytokine-induced iNOS activation, via NF-κB, is implicated in induction of β-cells death, which includes ER stress activation. Physical exercise has been used as an adjunct for better glycemic control in patients with T1D, since it is able to increase glucose uptake independent of insulin. Recently, it was observed that the release of IL-6 by skeletal muscle, during physical exercise, could prevent β-cells death induced by pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in this beneficial effect on β-cells are not yet completely elucidated. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of IL-6 on β-cells exposed to pro-inflammatory cytokines. RESULTS Pre-treatment with IL-6 sensitized INS-1E cells to cytokine-induced cell death, increasing cytokine-induced iNOS and Caspase-3 expression. Under these conditions, however, there was a decrease in cytokines-induced p-eIF2-α but not p-IRE1expression, proteins related to ER stress. To address if this prevention of adequate UPR response is involved in the increase in β-cells death markers induced by IL-6 pre-treatment, we used a chemical chaperone (TUDCA), which improves ER folding capacity. Use of TUDCA increased cytokines-induced Caspase-3 expression and Bax/Bcl-2 ratio in the presence of IL-6 pre-treatment. However, there is no modulation of p-eIF2-α expression by TUDCA in this condition, with increase of CHOP expression. CONCLUSION Treatment with IL-6 alone is not beneficial for β-cells, leading to increased cell death markers and impaired UPR activation. In addition, TUDCA has not been able to restore ER homeostasis or improve β-cells viability under this condition, suggesting that other mechanisms may be involved.

Abstract
Salivary gland tumors are diverse neoplasms, likely reflecting differences in the tissue- and cell-of-origin. 80%-90% of tumors arising in the sublingual gland (SLG) are malignant, whereas the other major glands often form benign tumors. Owing to the lack of experimental models to explore the etiology of salivary gland tumors, the cellular and molecular bases of malignancy remain unknown. Here, we generated a murine model of HRASG12V-driven salivary gland tumors amenable to examine tumor onset and malignant progression. We found that HMGA2 marks the tumor onset, and transformed-SOX2+ stem/progenitor cells expand exclusively in SLG tumors. Lineage tracing experiments showed that SLG tumor cells undergo an extensive epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and TGF-β-responding tumor cells are a source of mesenchymal tumor cells invading the surrounding stroma. This study advances our understanding of the mechanistic basis of salivary gland malignancy and may help combat this highly heterogeneous cancer.

Abstract
Kamphuis et al argue that macrophages accumulated in the proximity of tumor-initiating cells do not express the high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor FcεRIα. Although we cannot exclude the possibility of nonspecific binding of anti-FcεRIα antibody (clone MAR-1), we provide evidence that macrophages in squamous cell carcinomas express FcεRIα and that IL-33 induces FcεRIα expression in bone marrow cell-derived macrophages.

Abstract
Targeting the cross-talk between tumor-initiating cells (TICs) and the niche microenvironment is an attractive avenue for cancer therapy. We show here, using a mouse model of squamous cell carcinoma, that TICs play a crucial role in creating a niche microenvironment that is required for tumor progression and drug resistance. Antioxidant activity in TICs, mediated by the transcription factor NRF2, facilitates the release of a nuclear cytokine, interleukin-33 (IL-33). This cytokine promotes differentiation of macrophages that express the high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor FcεRIα and are in close proximity to TICs. In turn, these IL-33-responding FcεRIα+ macrophages send paracrine transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signals to TICs, inducing invasive and drug-resistant properties and further upregulating IL-33 expression. This TIC-driven, IL-33-TGF-β feedforward loop could potentially be exploited for cancer treatment.

Abstract
ADAP1, a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for the small GTPase ARF6, is a strong predictor of poor survival in early-stage squamous cell carcinoma patients and a critical mediator of TGF-β-induced invasive cell migration by facilitating basement membrane breakdown. Invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is aggressive cancer with a high risk of recurrence and metastasis, but the critical determinants of its progression remain elusive. Here, we identify ADAP1, a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for ARF6 up-regulated in TGF-β-responding invasive tumor cells, as a strong predictor of poor survival in early-stage SCC patients. Using a mouse model of SCC, we show that ADAP1 overexpression promotes invasive tumor progression by facilitating cell migration and breakdown of the basement membrane. We found that ADAP1-rich, TGF-β-responding tumor cells exhibit cytoplasmic laminin localization, which correlated with the absence of laminin and type IV collagen from the pericellular basement membrane. Interestingly, although tumors overexpressing a GAP activity-deficient mutant of ADAP1 resulted in morphologically complex tumors, those tumor cells failed to breach the basement membrane. Moreover, Adap1 deletion in tumor cells ameliorated the basement membrane breakdown and had less invading cells in the stroma. Our study demonstrates that ADAP1 is a critical mediator of TGF-β-induced cancer invasion and might be exploited for the treatment of high-risk SCC.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) as a dietary supplement on milk yield and composition as well as iron status and immune response in lactating dairy cows. In this study 13 lactating Holstein cows were randomly assigned to either a control group or a treatment group supplemented with 10 mg of 5-ALA per kilogram of dry matter. During feeding, 5-ALA was mixed with a small amount of the total mixed ration and top-dressed. The experiments followed a crossover design with 2 periods. Each period consisted of an adaptation period of 12 d and a test period of 2 d. Dairy cows fed the diet supplemented with 5-ALA exhibited increased counts of white blood cells and granulocytes compared with the control group. The rate of phagocytosis and mitogen-induced proliferation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in cows fed 5-ALA were higher than in cows fed a basal diet. However, 5-ALA did not affect iron status or plasma biochemical composition. Supplementation with 5-ALA improved milk protein and milk casein contents; however, it had no effect on milk production, milk fat, lactose, total solids, or solids-not-fat, compared with the control. We conclude that dietary supplementation of 5-ALA to lactating dairy cows may have a positive effect on milk protein synthesis and the immune response.

Abstract
Despite typically not being taken into account (usually in favour of the 'global distillation' process), the input of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) through biological activities can be indeed relevant at the local scale in terrestrial polar environments when seabird colonies are considered. Seabirds can bioaccumulate and biomagnify POPs, gather in large numbers and excrete on land during their reproductive season, thus making them locally as relevant secondary sources of POPs. The first part of this study indicated that these colonies act as so for several essential and non-essential trace elements, and this second part tests the same hypothesis concerning POPs using the very same samples. Lichens (n = 55), mosses (n = 58) and soil (n = 37) were collected from 13 locations in the South Shetlands Archipelago during the austral summers of 2013-14 and 2014-15. They were divided in colony (within the colony itself for soil and within and surrounding the colony for vegetation) and control (at least 150 m away from any colony interference) and analysed for POPs such as organochlorine pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers and stable isotopes (C and N). Results showed that colonies act clearly as a secondary source for PCBs and likely for hexachlorobenzene. As in the first part, probable local sources other than the colonies themselves are hypothesised because of high concentrations found in control sites. Again, soil seemed the most adequate matrix for the intended purposes especially because of some particularities in the absorption of animal-derived organic matter by vegetation, pointed out by stable isotope analyses.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recently, more and more generic drugs have been used for immunosuppressive drugs in the field of organ transplantation. Some reports have indicated that blood concentration of most generic drugs is difficult to maintain stability, and it may cause the difference in graft survival of transplanted organs between original drugs and generic drugs. In this article, we report the cases could not maintain blood concentration of generic drugs of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). RESULTS In 4 cases out of 5 cases that we had to change original MMF to generic MMF, there were cases that blood concentration level was not stabilized. There were possibility that the lowered blood concentration level of MMF caused a rejection, in two cases. Mean MMF trough level was decreased from 3.6 ± 1.9 μg/mL to 0.6 ± 0.4 μg/mL. Due to the early detection, it did not become severe or failure of graft function, however, we cannot deny the possibilities that side effects were increased and rejection rose. In these cases, we discontinued to use the generic drugs thereafter due to unstable plasma concentration of MMF. DISCUSSION Some reports have indicated that failure to maintain plasma concentration of MMF leads to rejection. Therefore, maintenance of effective plasma concentration and prevention of rejection are essential to long-term graft survival in kidney transplant. CONCLUSION Generic drug formulations may exhibit differences in effects and absorption compared to the brand-name drug. If the generic drug should be used, patients should be closely monitored.

Abstract
Much controversy exists over the performance of elderly living donor kidney transplantation. We report the safety of 2 cases of elderly living kidney donations in our hospital. CASE 1: An 82-year-old man was a living kidney donor for his 56-year-old son. The donor suffered from hypertension, but has successfully managed his blood pressure with only one medication. His serum creatinine was 0.7 mg/dL and inulin clearance was 122.5 mL/min, which met the usual criteria for living kidney donors. This was his son's secondary kidney transplantation, and no other donors existed. CASE 2: An 80-year-old woman was a living kidney donor for her 45-year-old son. Her serum creatinine was 0.61 mg/dL and inulin clearance was 71.7 mL/min, which met the marginal kidney donor criteria. In both cases, we determined that the donor kidney function was acceptable. Though we explained the risks of the transplantation thoroughly, the patients' strong will to offer a kidney to their family member did not change. We decided to carry out the transplantation. At the time of publication, nearly 2 years have passed since the transplantation, but both donors and recipients are doing well. In the future, it seems more likely that the number of elderly living donor kidney transplantation will rise. On one hand, there is no absolute contraindication for elderly donors, while on the other hand, the criteria for a living kidney donor must be strictly examined. Furthermore, careful observation of both donors and recipients after transplantation is required.

Abstract
In hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), various vasodilators are used to control the perfusion pressure. These agents, however, often decrease the pressure excessively, and the low perfusion pressure may persist until the end of CPB. In this study we evaluate the safety and characteristics of the regulation of perfusion pressure during CPB using a volatile anesthetic, sevoflurane which has an extremely low partition coefficient. Twenty adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery were studied. Sevoflurane was applied by a vaporizer inserted into the oxygenator gas supply line. Pump flows were fixed at 2.4 L/min/m2 during the hypothermic period. Sevoflurane concentration was adjusted to keep mean arterial pressure (MAP) between 40 and 70 mmHg during CPB. Hemodynamic and metabolic parameters were measured and compared to the group we previously treated with chlorpromazine. In all cases, MAP could be maintained adequately. In the sevoflurane group, systemic vascular resistance indices (SVRI) during the rewarming period and at the end of CPB were higher, and doses of norepinephrine needed at the end of CPB were significantly lower than in the chlorpromazine group. The regulation of perfusion pressure during CPB using sevoflurane was safe and could easily maintain adequate SVRI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In some patients, non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections manifest in solitary nodules (solitary nodular [SN] type) generally caused by Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). In patients treated using surgical resection, the American Thoracic Society guidelines state that postoperative chemotherapy is not necessary in the absence of lesions, although there have been a few reports of such cases. METHODS Twenty-eight patients diagnosed with NTM who underwent solitary pulmonary nodule resection at Toneyama Hospital, Osaka, Japan, between January 2000 and October 2012 were enrolled. We evaluated the influence of the surgical procedure and chemotherapy on outcomes in this retrospective study. RESULTS Of the 28 patients, 12 were males and 16 were females; the mean age was 58.6 ± 13.2 years. Twenty-five patients were asymptomatic and bronchoscopy was performed in 18; only 2 had a definitive diagnosis of NTM. The pathogen responsible was MAC in 27 patients and M. kansasii in 1. The surgical procedure used was wedge resection in 22 patients, segmentectomy in 1 and lobectomy in 5. Postoperative chemotherapy was administered to 9 patients. Twenty-six patients had no recurrence. CONCLUSION We believe that wedge resection is a valid surgical intervention for SN type NTM; additional postoperative chemotherapy is unnecessary in cases with no residual lesions in the operated lung lobe.

Abstract
Human activities in the Antarctica including tourism and scientific research have been raised substantially in the last century with the concomitant impact on the Antarctic ecosystems through the release of wastewater mainly from different scientific stations activities. The aim of this study was to assess the wastewater contamination of surface waters and sediments of three melt-water streams (11 sites) by leaking septic tanks located in the vicinity of the Uruguayan Scientific Station in the Fildes Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica, during summer 2015. For this purpose, we combined the analysis of fecal steroids in sediments by using gas chromatography and six enteric viruses in surface waters by quantitative and qualitative PCR. Coprostanol concentrations (from 0.03 to 3.31μgg-1) and fecal steroids diagnostic ratios indicated that stations C7 and C8 located in the kitchen stream presented sewage contamination. Rotavirus was the only enteric virus detected in five sites with concentration ranging from 1.2×105gcL-1 to 5.1×105gcL-1 being three of them located downstream from the leaking AINA and Kitchen septic tanks. This study shows for the first time the presence of both virological and molecular biomarkers of wastewater pollution in surface waters and sediments of three melt-water streams in the vicinity of a scientific station in the Antarctica. These results highlight the importance of the complementation of these biomarkers in two different matrices (surface waters and sediments) to assess wastewater pollution in an Antarctic environment related to anthropogenic activities in the area.

Abstract
Background: Hypertension is a common complication in patients with gout and/or hyperuricemia. Besides, hyperuricemia is a risk factor of gout as well as ischemic heart disease in hypertensive patients. Moreover, the risk of gout is modified by antihypertensive drugs. However, it remains unclear how antihypertensive agents affect uric acid metabolism. Purpose: In the present study, we investigated the uric acid metabolism in treated hypertensive patients to find out whether any of them would influence serum levels of uric acid. Patients and methods: 751 hypertensive patients (313 men and 438 women) under antihypertensive treatment were selected. Blood pressure (BP), serum uric acid (SUA) and serum creatinine (Scr) were measured and evaluated statistically. Results: In patients treated with diuretics, beta-blockers and/or alpha-1 blockers SUA levels were significantly higher than in patients who were not taking these drugs. Besides, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients treated with diuretics, beta-blockers and/or alpha-1 blockers was negatively correlated with SUA level. There were gender differences in the effects of beta-blockers and alpha-1 blockers. Multiple regression analysis indicated that both diuretics and beta-blockers significantly contributed to hyperuricemia in patients with medication for hypertension. Conclusion: Diuretics, beta-blockers and alpha-1 blockers reduced glomerular filtration rate and raised SUA levels. Calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, including losartan, did not increase SUA levels.

Abstract
Magellanic penguins, Spheniscus magellanicus, are the most abundant penguins living in temperate regions of South America and are good indicators of environmental pollution in the region. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were detected in the liver of Magellanic penguins found debilitated or dead on the beaches of Brazil (states of Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) between 2008 and 2012 as well as in Uruguay and Chile in 2011. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were more prevalent than organochlorine pesticides (DDTs ∼ HCB ∼ Drins) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Among PCBs, penta-, hexa- and hepta-chlorinated congeners were predominant. Concentrations of POPs were similar between the Pacific and Atlantic penguin populations, except for PCBs, which were relatively higher in the Pacific population. During the study years (2008-2012), large variations were found in organochlorine pesticides and PCBs tended to decline. Overall, the southern portion of South America has low concentrations of POPs, with either a constant trend or evidence of decline.

Abstract
Physical fitness has been reported to decrease the risk of lifestyle-related diseases. The present study evaluated genome-wide methylation under the hypothesis that interval walking training (IWT) imparted beneficial effects on health, particularly by epigenetically ameliorating susceptibility to inflammation. We screened DNA from peripheral blood samples via genome-wide microarray for genes whose methylation was affected by IWT, paying special attention to promoter regions, and identified over 40 hyper- or hypo-methylated genes following IWT that were not witnessed in controls. We next selected genes in which the degree of methylation change in the promoter region was correlated with energy consumption following IWT. In this way, we found the NFκB2 gene to have increased methylation in multiple regions of its promoter sequence following participation in an exercise regimen. Next, IWT-induced NFκB2 hyper-methylation was confirmed by a quantitative PyroSequencing assessment of methylation in samples obtained from independent subjects who also underwent IWT. The increase in NFκB2 gene promoter methylation by IWT indicates that this regimen may suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines. Thus, these results provide an additional line of evidence that IWT is advantageous in promoting health from an epigenetic perspective by ameliorating susceptibility to inflammation.

Abstract
In epidermal cell cultures grown on type I collagen, the in vitro synthesis of basal lamina was studied by electron microscopy and indirect immunofluorescence with anti-type IV collagen antibody. The newly-formed basal lamina and type IV collagen were observed in a linear pattern beneath the epidermal cells. The observations strongly suggest that the basal lamina containing type IV collagen is newly synthesized by the epidermal cells.

Abstract
The formation of basal lamina in epidermal cell cultures was studied by electron microscopy. Epidermal cells were cultured on plastic dishes which were either uncoated or coated with collagen gel. The cells grew and stratified on the plastic substratum as well as on the collagen gel. While the cultures on the plastic surface showed no occurrence of hemidesmosomes and basal lamina at the interface with the plastic substratum, the cultures on the surface of the collagen gel showed development of hemidesmosomes leading to the focal occurrence of basal lamina at the interface of the collagen gel and the basal plasma membrane of basal cells. Thereafter, basal lamina occurred under the interhemidesmosomal areas in addition to the hemidesmosomal areas of the basal plasma membrane, forming a continuous layer by joining.

Abstract
In the present study, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were determined in 14 livers from specimens of the Brazilian sharpnose shark (Rhizoprionodon lalandii), which is an important economic resource for small-scale fisheries on the southeastern coast of Brazil. The following concentrations (lipid weight) of POPs were found: ∑PCBs: 1019±267 ng g(-1); ∑DDTs: 111±40 ng g(-1) and ∑PBDEs: 10.4±4.78. PCB 153 made the greatest contribution to ∑PCB (21.4%), followed by PCB 138 (14.6%) and PCB 180 (9.94%). Among chlorinated pesticides, only the p,p'-DDE and p,p'-DDD isomers had concentrations above the detection limit. Moreover, levels above the detection limit were found only for PBDE congeners 47 and 100 (BDEs 47>99). On average, BDE 47 accounted for 88% of the total PBDE load. The feeding habits of the Brazilian sharpnose shark close to the Brazilian coastline are likely the most important difference regarding the accumulation of POPs in comparison to oceanic species that feed in deeper waters. Thus, this species may be used to evaluate the pollution of coastal areas as well as human exposure to contaminants, as the Brazilian sharpnose shark is a frequently used for human consumption. Further studies in other areas of Brazil and involving other species are needed to clarify the mechanisms and potential impact of POPs, which can affect the biology of different organisms and cause population declines.

Abstract
To elucidate the impact of pretransplant body mass index (BMI) on the clinical outcome, we performed a retrospective study with registry data including a total of 12 050 patients (age ⩾18 years) who received allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) between 2000 and 2010. Patients were stratified as follows: BMI<18.5 kg/m(2), Underweight, n=1791; 18.5⩽BMI<25, Normal, n=8444; 25⩽BMI<30, Overweight, n=1591; BMI⩾30, Obese, n=224. The median age was 45 years (range, 18-77). A multivariate analysis showed that the risk of relapse was significantly higher in the underweight group and lower in the overweight and obese groups compared with the normal group (hazard ratio (HR), 1.16, 0.86, and 0.74, respectively). The risk of GVHD was significantly higher in the overweight group compared with the normal group. The risk of non-relapse mortality (NRM) was significantly higher in the overweight and obese group compared with the normal group (HR 1.19 and HR 1.43, respectively). The probability of OS was lower in the underweight group compared with the normal group (HR 1.10, P=0.018). In conclusion, pretransplant BMI affected the risk of relapse and NRM after allogeneic HSCT. Underweight was a risk factor for poor OS because of an increased risk of relapse. Obesity was a risk factor for NRM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clostridium difficile is a major cause of nosocomial diarrhea. The incidence and prognosis of C. difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) has not yet been assessed in adult patients after unrelated cord blood transplantation (uCBT). METHODS The medical records of 135 adult unrelated cord blood transplant recipients were reviewed retrospectively to investigate the clinical features of CDAD after uCBT. These data were compared to medical records of 39 unrelated bone marrow transplant recipients and 27 related peripheral blood stem cell transplant recipients as controls. RESULTS A total of 17 recipients developed CDAD, with onset occurring at a median of 22 days (range, 0-56 days) after transplantation. Among the unrelated cord blood transplant recipients, 11 (9%) developed CDAD. These results were comparable with those of CDAD after unrelated bone marrow transplantation (uBMT) (2/39, 6%) and related peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (rPBSCT) (4/27, 16%) (P=0.37). Fifteen of the infected recipients were successfully treated with oral metronidazole, vancomycin, or cessation of antibiotics. The remaining 2 recipients who developed CDAD after uCBT died of other causes. The development of CDAD did not negatively affect overall survival after uCBT. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that the incidence and prognosis of CDAD after uCBT are comparable with those after uBMT and rPBSCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of long-term survivors after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) showed steady increase in the past two decades. Second malignancies after HSCT are a devastating late complication. We analyzed the incidence of, risk compared with that in the general population, and risk factors for secondary solid cancers. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were 17 545 adult recipients of a first allogeneic stem cell transplantation between 1990 and 2007 in Japan. Risks of developing secondary solid tumors were compared with general population by using standard incidence ratios (SIRs). RESULTS Two-hundred sixty-nine secondary solid cancers were identified. The cumulative incidence was 0.7% [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.6%-0.9%] at 5 years and 1.7% (95% CI, 1.4%-1.9%) at 10 years after transplant. The risk was significantly higher than that in the general population (SIR=1.8, 95% CI, 1.5-2.0). Risk was higher for oral cancer (SIR=15.7, 95% CI, 12.1-20.1), esophageal cancer (SIR=8.5, 95% CI, 6.1-11.5), colon cancer (SIR=1.9, 95% CI, 1.2-2.7), skin cancer (SIR=7.2, 95% CI, 3.9-12.4), and brain/nervous system cancer (SIR=4.1, 95% CI, 1.6-8.4). The risk of developing oral, esophageal, or skin cancer was higher at all times after 1-year post-transplant. Extensive-type chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was a significant risk factor for the development of all solid tumors (RR=1.8, P<0.001), as well as for oral (RR=2.9, P<0.001) and esophageal (RR=5.3, P<0.001) cancers. Limited-type chronic GVHD was an independent risk factor for skin cancers (RR=5.8, P=0.016). CONCLUSION Recipients of allogeneic HSCT had a significantly higher ∼2-fold risk of developing secondary solid cancers than the general population. Lifelong screening for high-risk organ sites, especially oral or esophageal cancers, is important for recipients with active, or a history of, chronic GVHD.

Abstract
During bovine oocyte maturation, a lower density of cumulus cells surrounding oocytes reduces the developmental competence of the oocytes after IVF. Adding more cumulus cells (Hashimoto et al. 1998) rescues the developmental competence of the corona-enclosed oocytes. In this study, we examined the effects of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microwells (MW) for bovine oocyte maturation on the developmental competence of the oocytes following IVF. In experiment 1, MW were produced by making holes on 0.5-mm-thick PDMS plates using a 0.5-mm-diameter biopsy punch. The punched plates were placed on the bottoms of culture dishes. Bovine cumulus oocytes complexes (COC) were collected from slaughterhouse ovaries. Cumulus layers were removed from COC to prepare corona-enclosed oocytes (CEO) and denuded oocytes (DO). Then, COC, CEO, or DO were individually matured in single MW for 24 h at 39°C under 5% CO2 in air with high humidity. Ten oocytes of each group were matured in 50-μL droplets of maturation medium (group culture, GC) as controls. Maturation medium was TCM-199 supplemented with 10% FCS, 0.02 AU mL–1 FSH, and 1 μg mL–1 E2. The matured oocytes were fertilized with frozen–thawed spermatozoa. The embryos were cultured in CR1aa medium for 168 h under 5% CO2, 5% O2 and 90% N2 with high humidity. In experiment 2, effects of depth of MW for maturation on subsequent development following IVF were examined. Microwells were produced by making 0.5-mm-diameter holes on 0.5- or 1.5-mm-thick PDMS plates. Then, COC or CEO were individually matured in the MW for 24 h. Matured oocytes were fertilized in vitro and cultured for 168 h. Oocytes that were matured by GC were used as controls. In experiment 1(N = 4), rates of maturation (76–100%, n = 26 to 38), normal fertilization (53–70%, n = 44 to 49), and cleavage (61–77%, n = 114 to 117) were not different among all groups (P > 0.05; Fisher's PLSD test following ANOVA). Blastocyst rates were the same (P > 0.05) for COC matured in MW (50%) and by GC (43%). The rate for CEO that matured in MW (46%) tended to be higher (P = 0.061) than the rate for CEO that matured by GC (31%), and was comparable to the rate for COC matured by GC (43%). The blastocyst rates for DO that matured in MW and by GC were low (6%). In experiment 2 (N = 3), rates of maturation (86–100%, n = 13 to 28), normal fertilization (60–78%, n = 22 to 40), and cleavage (67–73%, n = 85 to 90) were not different among all groups (P > 0.05). However, the blastocyst rate for COC that matured in 1.5-mm-deep MW (53%) was significantly higher than the rates for COC that matured in 0.5-mm-deep MW (38%) and by GC (31%; P < 0.05). The results indicate that the developmental competence of oocytes that matured individually in PDMS MW was greater than that of oocytes that matured by GC. The deeper (1.5 mm) MW were found to be more effective for oocyte maturation than shallow (0.5 mm) MW and GC. The MW might increase density of cumulus cells surrounding oocytes, and the high cell-density enhanced the developmental competence of the oocytes.

Abstract
To clarify the effect of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligand incompatibility on outcomes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients in complete remission after single cord blood transplantation (CBT), we assessed the outcomes of CBT registered in the Japan Society for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (JSHCT) database. A total of 643 acute leukemia (357 AML and 286 ALL) patient and donor pairs were categorized according to their KIR ligand incompatibility by determining whether or not they expressed HLA-C, Bw4 or A3/A11 by DNA typing. A total of 128 patient–donor pairs were KIR ligand-incompatible in the graft-versus-host (GVH) direction and 139 patient–donor pairs were incompatible in the host-versus-graft (HVG) direction. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed no significant differences between the KIR ligand-incompatible and compatible groups in the GVH direction for both AML and ALL patients of overall survival, disease-free survival, relapse incidence, non-relapse mortality and acute GVH disease. However, KIR incompatibility in the HVG direction ameliorated engraftment in ALL patients (hazard ratio 0.66, 95% confidence interval 0.47–0.91, P=0.013). Therefore, there were no effects of KIR ligand incompatibility in the GVH direction on single CBT outcomes for acute leukemia patients without anti-thymocyte globulin use. However, it is necessary to pay attention to KIR incompatibility in the HVG direction for engraftment.

Abstract
Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a peripheral T-cell neoplasm with a very poor outcome. However, several studies have shown a progress in the treatment. To evaluate the effect of the progress in the treatment of ATLL in a whole patient population, we used vital statistics data and estimated age-adjusted mortality and trends in the mortality from 1995 to 2009. Since allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has been introduced as a modality with curative potential during study period, we also evaluated the association of the annual number of allo-HSCT and the trend of the mortality of ATLL. Endemic (Kyushu) and non-endemic areas (others) were evaluated separately. Significance in the trend of mortality was evaluated by joinpoint regression analysis. During the study period, a total of 14 932 patients died of ATLL in Japan, and mortality decreased significantly in both areas (annual percent change (95% confidence interval (CI)): Kyushu, −3.1% (−4.3, −1.9); others, −3.4% (−5.3, −1.5)). This decreasing trend in mortality seems to be associated with an increase in the number of allo-HSCTs (Kyushu, R-squared=0.70, P=0.003; and others, R-squared=0.55, P=0.058). This study reveals that the mortality of ATLL is now significantly decreasing in Japan and this decreasing trend might be associated with allo-HSCT.

Abstract
The present investigation aimed to analyze PBDE and PCB contamination in mussels (Perna perna) and two commercially important fish species, croaker (Micropogonias furnieri) and mullet (Mugil liza), in the Guanabara Bay, the most important Brazilian estuary, by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, in order to further knowledge regarding these compounds in the southern hemisphere. This is also the first report of PBDE in this mussel species in the Guanabara Bay. Fish were captured in September (dry season, winter) and March (wet season, summer) 2007 and September 2008. Mussels were collected in August (dry season, winter) 2006, in February (wet season, summer) 2007, and in August 2007 (winter). The results show that all samples showed higher PCB contamination when compared to other ecosystems around the world. On the other hand, PBDEs presented lower concentrations in 41 % of the samples. Croakers presented the highest PCB and PBDE levels, with mullet showing intermediary values and mussels, the lowest.

Abstract
In this study, outcomes for 575 adult ALL patients aged ≥45 years who underwent first allo-SCT in CR were analyzed according to the type of conditioning regimen (myeloablative conditioning (MAC) for 369 patients vs reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) for 206 patients). Patients in the RIC group were older (median age, 58 vs 51 years, P<0.0001). There were no statistically significant differences in 3-year OS, disease-free survival (DFS) and non-relapse mortality (NRM): 51% vs 53%, 47% vs 39% and 38% vs 36%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that CR2 and HLA mismatching were associated with poor OS (P=0.002 and P=0.019, respectively). HLA mismatching was associated with lower rate of relapse (P=0.016), but was associated with higher rate of NRM (P=0.001). RIC was associated with good OS and DFS in patients who received HLA-mismatch transplantation and were aged ≥55 years compared with MAC by multivariate analysis for each event with interaction (hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval 0.35 and 0.15-0.81, P=0.014 for OS and 0.36 and 0.16-0.81, P=0.013 for DFS). Therefore, patients ≥55 years of age with HLA-mismatch transplantation should be candidates for RIC rather than MAC.
