Abstract
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder mainly caused by mutations in the Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome gene on chromosome 7q11. Although skeletal abnormalities are a feature of SDS, no reports have focused on the craniofacial morphology of patients with SDS. Moreover, the detailed dental characteristics of SDS remain unknown. In the present case report, we evaluated the craniofacial morphology and dental findings of two patients with SDS. A Japanese adolescent sibling pair with SDS had the chief complaint of excessive overjet. Cephalometric analysis revealed similar craniofacial morphology in both patients: skeletal class I malocclusion with a hypodivergent pattern and labial inclination of the maxillary and mandibular incisors. A panoramic photograph showed the tendency of delayed permanent tooth eruption and replacement in both patients. These cases suggest that malocclusion requiring orthodontic treatment might be a feature of patients with SDS.

Abstract
PURPOSE Stoma site marking is an important preoperative intervention for preventing various stoma-associated complications. In our institution, standardized stoma site marking is routinely performed before rectal cancer surgery with stoma creation, and various stoma-associated factors are recorded in the ostomy-record template. The present study investigated risk factors for stoma leakage. METHODS Our stoma site marking is standardized so that it can be performed by non-stoma specialists. To identify risk factors of stoma leakage at 3 months after surgery, various preoperative factors associated with stoma site marking in our ostomy-record template were retrospectively analyzed in 519 patients who underwent rectal cancer surgery with stoma creation from 2015 to 2020. RESULTS Stoma leakage was seen in 35 of the 519 patients (6.7%). The distance between the stoma site marking and the umbilicus was less than 60 mm in 27 of the 35 patients (77%) who experienced stoma leakage, so a distance of less than 60 mm was identified as an independent risk factor for stoma leakage. Aside from preoperative factors, stoma leakage was also caused by postoperative skin wrinkles or surgical scars near the stoma site in 8 of 35 patients (23%). CONCLUSION Preoperative standardized stoma site marking is necessary to achieve reliable marking that is easy to perform. To reduce the risk of stoma leakage, a distance of 60 mm or more between the stoma site marking and the umbilicus is ideal, and surgeons need to contrive ways to keep surgical scars away from the stoma site.

Abstract
This study identified the most accurate model for predicting longitudinal craniofacial growth in a Japanese population using statistical methods and machine learning. Longitudinal lateral cephalometric radiographs were collected from 59 children (27 boys and 32 girls) with no history of orthodontic treatment. Multiple regression analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, radial basis function network, multilayer perceptron, and gradient-boosted decision tree were used. The independent variables included 26 coordinated values of skeletal landmarks, 13 linear skeletal parameters, and 17 angular skeletal parameters in children ages 6 to 12 years. The dependent variables were the values of the 26 coordinated skeletal landmarks, 13 skeletal linear parameters, and 17 skeletal angular parameters at 13 years of age. The difference between the predicted and actual measured values was calculated using the root-mean-square error. The prediction model for craniofacial growth using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator had the smallest average error for all values of skeletal landmarks, linear parameters, and angular parameters. The highest prediction accuracies when predicting skeletal linear and angular parameters for 13-year-olds were 97.87% and 94.45%, respectively. This model incorporates several independent variables and is useful for future orthodontic treatment because it can predict individual growth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of two palatoplasty procedures, modified Furlow's palatoplasty (F procedure) and modified two-flap palatoplasty (T procedure), on the maxillofacial morphology of unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) during the primary dentition period. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Department of Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Showa University. PARTICIPANTS We enrolled 106 pediatric patients (63 boys, 43 girls; aged 4.43 ± 0.34 years) with non-syndromic orofacial clefts who underwent cheiloplasty and palatoplasty. INTERVENTIONS Patients were divided into four groups according to cleft type (BCLP or UCLP) and palatoplasty procedure type (F or T procedure). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Maxillofacial morphology was assessed by examining parameters on lateral cephalograms. RESULTS Multiple comparisons revealed significant differences among N-A, N-ANS, and ANS-PNS distances and SNA and ANB angles among the groups. There were significant differences in N-A, N-ANS, ANS-PNS, SNA, and SNB among the UCLP and BCLP groups. The calculated effect sizes were all within 0.3-0.5. The statistical power was as follows: N-A, 86.41%; N-ANS, 79.77%; ANS-PNS, 97.49%; SNA, 96.88%; and ANB, 99.25%. CONCLUSIONS Although UCLP and BCLP both exhibited differences in craniofacial distances and angles, the procedure type (either F or T procedure) had no significant effect on the maxillofacial morphology (as determined by lateral cephalograms). However, to rule out additional bias, patient-specific factors should be considered that may be affected by maxillofacial development when deciding surgical approaches.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multiple idiopathic cervical root resorption (MICRR) is a disease with an unknown etiology that causes invasive cervical root resorption in multiple teeth. Although previous MICRR genomic studies have identified candidate gene variants, the etiology of the condition remains poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated the genetic causality of MICRR to explore candidate variants. METHODS Saliva samples from a family containing 2 affected and two unaffected subjects with the dominant transmission of MICRR were subjected to whole-exome sequencing. RESULTS As a result, we identified novel candidate variants of 10 genes. Each variant was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Among them, the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG/AMP) guidelines classified doublecortin domain containing 1 (c.1099 C > T) and β-defensin 114 (c.189 T > G) as "pathogenic," and solute carrier family 45 member 2 (c.152_153del) as "likely pathogenic." CONCLUSIONS These results provide new insight to help clarify the pathogenesis of MICRR, and the variants could be applied for further investigation to understand invasive cervical root resorption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The emergence of novel genomic-type clones, such as community-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and livestock-associated MRSA, and their invasion into hospitals have become major concerns worldwide; however, little information is available regarding the prevalence of MRSA in Japan. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has been conducted to analyse various pathogens worldwide. Therefore, it is important to establish a genome database of clinical MRSA isolates available in Japan. AIM A molecular epidemiological analysis of MRSA strains isolated from bloodstream-infected patients in a Japanese university hospital was conducted using WGS and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis. Additionally, through a review of patients' clinical characteristics, the effectiveness of SNP analysis as a tool for detecting silent nosocomial transmission that may be missed by other methods was evaluated in diverse settings and various time points of detection. METHODS Polymerase-chain-reaction-based staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing was performed using 135 isolates obtained between 2014 and 2018, and WGS was performed using 88 isolates obtained between 2015 and 2017. FINDINGS SCCmec type II strains, prevalent in 2014, became rare in 2018, whereas the prevalence of SCCmec type IV strains increased from 18.75% to 83.87% of the population, and became the dominant clones. Clonal complex (CC) 5 CC8 and CC1 were detected between 2015 and 2017, with CC1 being dominant. In 88 cases, SNP analyses revealed nosocomial transmissions among 20 patients which involved highly homologous strains. CONCLUSIONS Routine monitoring of MRSA by whole-genome analysis is effective not only for gaining knowledge regarding molecular epidemiology, but also for detecting silent nosocomial transmission.

Abstract
In patients with mandibular asymmetry, the volume of the mandible divided by the mandibular median plane is significantly larger on the non-deviated (N-Dev) side than on the deviated (Dev) side. However, it has been reported that there is no significant difference between the volumes of the N-Dev and Dev sides when the mandibular ramus and body are divided. The purpose of this study was to investigate which region is responsible for the volume difference between the N-Dev and Dev sides. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images of patients with mandibular asymmetry were analyzed by measuring the volume, and linear analysis of the mandibular body, ramus, and condyle on the N-Dev and Dev side was performed. In this study, CBCT images of 37 patients (8 Japanese, 16 Korean, and 13 Egyptian) aged ≥ 18 years with mandibular asymmetry (men: 20, women: 17) were used to evaluate mandibular asymmetry. In patients with mandibular asymmetry, the N-Dev side showed significantly larger values than the Dev side for both volume and linear condyle, ramus, and mandibular body measurements. These results do not differ according to sex or ethnicity. Therefore, it is suggested that the N-Dev side of mandibular asymmetry is large without any regional specificity in pathophysiology.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is caused by dysbiosis of the dental biofilm and the host inflammatory response. Various pathogenic factors, such as proteases and lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) produced by bacteria, are involved in disease progression. Endotoxin tolerance is a function of myeloid cells, which sustain inflammation and promote tissue regeneration upon prolonged stimulation by endotoxins such as LPS. The role of endotoxin tolerance is gaining attention in various chronic inflammatory diseases, but its role in periodontal disease remains elusive. Oxidative stress, one of the major risk factors for periodontal disease, promotes disease progression through various mechanisms, of which only some are known. The effect of oxidative stress on endotoxin tolerance has not yet been studied, and we postulated that endotoxin tolerance regulation may be an additional mechanism through which oxidative stress influences periodontal disease. This study aimed to reveal the effect of oxidative stress on endotoxin tolerance and that of endotoxin tolerance on periodontitis progression. The effect of oxidative stress on endotoxin tolerance was analyzed in vitro using peritoneal macrophages of mice and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The results showed that oxidative stress inhibits endotoxin tolerance induced by Porphyromonas gingivalis LPS in macrophages, at least partially, by downregulating LPS-elicited negative regulators of Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. A novel oxidative stress mouse model was established using SMP30KO mice incapable of ascorbate biosynthesis. Using this model, we revealed that oxidative stress impairs endotoxin tolerance potential in macrophages in vivo. Furthermore, gingival expression of endotoxin tolerance-related genes and TLR signaling negative regulators was decreased, and symptoms of ligature-induced periodontitis were aggravated in the oxidative stress mouse model. Our findings suggest that oxidative stress may contribute to periodontitis progression through endotoxin tolerance inhibition.

Abstract
Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is a rare disorder defined as incomplete tooth eruption despite the presence of a clear eruption pathway. PFE is known to be caused by rare variants in the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor gene (PTH1R). Although several PTH1R variants have been reported, the etiology of PFE remains unclear. However, important studies that help elucidate the pathology of PFE have recently been published. The purpose of this review is to summarize current treatment options, clinical symptoms or phenotypes for diagnosis, genetic information including solid evidence in mouse disease models and disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells, thus approaching the etiology of PFE from the perspective of the latest research.

Abstract
While the COVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses a threat to public health as the number of cases and COVID-19-related deaths are increasing worldwide, the incidence of the virus infection is extremely low in Japan compared with many other countries. To explain this uncommon phenomenon, we investigated the prevalence of naturally occurring ("natural") antibodies, focusing on those of the secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) form, reactive with SARS-CoV-2 among Japanese people. One hundred and eighty healthy Japanese volunteers of a wide range of age who had been considered to be unexposed to SARS-CoV-2 participated in this study. Saliva samples and blood samples were collected from all of the 180 participants and 139 adults (aged ≥ 20 years) included therein, respectively. The determination of saliva IgA antibodies, mostly comprising sIgA antibodies, as well as serum IgA and immunoglobulin G antibodies, reactive with the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike-1 subunit proteins was conducted using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The major findings were that 52.78% (95% confidence interval, 45.21%-60.25%) of the individuals who had not been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 were positive for saliva IgA antibodies with a wide range of levels between 0.002 and 3.272 ng/mL, and that there may be a negative trend in positivity for the antibodies according to age. As we had expected, a frequent occurrence of assumable "natural" sIgA antibodies reactive with SARS-CoV-2 among the studied Japanese participant population was observed.

Abstract
We developed a steady-state high-density plasma source by applying a hollow cathode to a cascade arc discharge device. The hollow cathode is made of a thermionic material (LaB6) to facilitate plasma production inside it. The cascade arc discharge device with the hollow cathode produced a stationary plasma with an electron density of about 1016 cm-3. It was found that the plasma source produces a strong pressure gradient between the gas feed and the vacuum chamber. The plasma source separated the atmospheric pressure (100 kPa) and a vacuum (100 Pa) when the discharge was performed with an argon gas flow rate of 5.0 l/min and a discharge current of 40 A. An analysis of the pressure gradient along the plasma source showed that the pressure difference between the gas feed and the vacuum chamber can be well described by the Hagen-Poiseuille flow equation, indicating that the viscosity of the neutral gas is the dominant factor for producing this pressure gradient. A potential profile analysis suggested that the plasma was mainly heated within cylindrical channels whose inner diameter was 3 mm. This feature and the results of the pressure ratio analysis indicated that the temperature, and, thus, viscosity, of the neutral gas increased with the increasing number of intermediate electrodes. The discharge characteristics and shape of the hollow cathode are suitable for plasma window applications.

Abstract
The Rare-RI Ring (R3) is a recently commissioned cyclotronlike storage ring mass spectrometer dedicated to mass measurements of exotic nuclei far from stability at Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) in RIKEN. The first application of mass measurement using the R3 mass spectrometer at RIBF is reported. Rare isotopes produced at RIBF-^{127}Sn, ^{126}In, ^{125}Cd, ^{124}Ag, ^{123}Pd-were injected in R3. Masses of ^{126}In, ^{125}Cd, and ^{123}Pd were measured whereby the mass uncertainty of ^{123}Pd was improved. This is the first reported measurement with a new storage ring mass spectrometry technique realized at a heavy-ion cyclotron and employing individual injection of the preidentified rare nuclei. The latter is essential for the future mass measurements of the rarest isotopes produced at RIBF. The impact of the new ^{123}Pd result on the solar r-process abundances in a neutron star merger event is investigated by performing reaction network calculations of 20 trajectories with varying electron fraction Y_{e}. It is found that the neutron capture cross section on ^{123}Pd increases by a factor of 2.2 and β-delayed neutron emission probability, P_{1 n}, of ^{123}Rh increases by 14%. The neutron capture cross section on ^{122}Pd decreases by a factor of 2.6 leading to pileup of material at A=122, thus reproducing the trend of the solar r-process abundances. The trend of the two-neutron separation energies (S_{2n}) was investigated for the Pd isotopic chain. The new mass measurement with improved uncertainty excludes large changes of the S_{2n} value at N=77. Such large increase of the S_{2n} values before N=82 was proposed as an alternative to the quenching of the N=82 shell gap to reproduce r-process abundances in the mass region of A=112-124.

Abstract
The WHO informal consultation was held to promote the revision of WHO guidelines on evaluation of similar biotherapeutic products (SBPs) adopted by the Expert Committee on Biological Standardization (ECBS) in 2009. It was agreed in the past consultations that the evaluation principles in the guidelines are still valid, but a review was recommended to provide more clarity and case-by-case flexibility. The opportunity was therefore taken to review the experience and identify areas where the current guidance could be more permissive without compromising its basic principles, and where additional explanation could be provided regarding the possibility of reducing the amount of data needed for regulatory approval. The meeting participants applauded the leading role taken by the WHO in providing a much-needed streamlined approach for development and evaluation of SBPs which will provide efficient and cost-effective product development and increase patient access to treatments. It was recognized that the principles as currently described in the draft WHO guidelines are based on sound science and experience gained over the last fifteen years of biosimilar approvals. However, since these guidelines when finalised will constitute the global standard for biosimilar evaluation and assist national regulatory authorities in establishing revised guidance and regulatory practice in this complex area, it was felt that further revision and clarity on certain perspectives in specific areas was necessary to dispel uncertainties arising in the current revised version. This report describes the principles in the draft guidelines, including topics discussed and consensus reached. WHO guidelines serve as a basis for the development of national regulatory framework for biosimilars. Revision of guidelines is to provide more flexibility and clarification on data required for regulatory approval. Revised guidelines would contribute to improving consistency on regulatory decision and patient access to treatments.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Pre-existing inflammation, corticosteroid therapy, periapical periodontitis, longer duration of denosumab therapy, and female sex were significantly associated with an increased risk of denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw after tooth extraction in patients with cancer on oncologic doses of denosumab. A short drug holiday did not protect against this complication. INTRODUCTION This study retrospectively investigated the relationship between various risk factors, including brief discontinuation of denosumab, and development of denosumab-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (DRONJ) after tooth extraction in patients with cancer who were receiving oncologic doses of this agent. METHODS Data were collected on demographic characteristics, duration of denosumab therapy, whether or not denosumab was discontinued before tooth extraction (drug holiday), duration of discontinuation, presence of pre-existing inflammation, and whether or not additional surgical procedures were performed. Risk factors for DRONJ after tooth extraction were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS A total of 136 dental extractions were performed in 72 patients (31 men, 41 women) with cancer who were receiving oncologic doses of denosumab. Post-extraction DRONJ was diagnosed in 39 teeth (28.7%) in 25 patients. Tooth extraction was significantly associated with development of DRONJ only in patients with pre-existing inflammation (odds ratio [OR] 243.77), those on corticosteroid therapy (OR 73.50), those with periapical periodontitis (OR 14.13), those who had been taking oncologic doses of denosumab for a longer period (OR 4.69), and in women (OR 1.04). There was no significant difference in the occurrence of DRONJ between patients who had a drug holiday before tooth extraction and those who did not. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that inflamed teeth should be extracted immediately in patients with cancer who are receiving oncologic doses of denosumab. Drug holidays have no significant impact on the risk of DRONJ.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The population-based incidence and outcomes of acute aortic dissection (AAD) are still unknown because some patients are already dead on arrival at the hospital, and the accurate diagnosis of AAD is difficult due to the low autopsy rate for patients with cardiopulmonary arrest outside of the hospital. We performed a population-based review of all patients with AAD in a well-defined geographical area in the southern part of Japan between 2016 and 2018.
Methods
Data of all patients with AAD at our Hospital, which performs medical care for 120,000 residents, were collected retrospectively. The emergency medical service is dedicated to the transfer of all patients in this area to the MPNH. For all patients who were dead on arrival, the diagnosis of AAD was made by autopsy imaging (AI) using computed tomography. The age-adjusted incidence and mortality per 100,000 population were calculated using the Japanese population distribution model in 2015.
Results
The total incidence of AAD was 79 (type A: 64.5%, n=51). Of those, 60.8% (31/51) of patients with type A and 21.4% (6/28) with type B were dead on arrival and diagnosed by AI. The 30-day mortality rates after the onset of AAD were 74.5% (38/51) in type A and 25.0% (7/28) in type B. Excluding the dead-on-arrival patients, the 30-day mortality rates were 35.0% (7/20) in type A and 4.5% (1/22) in type B. The age-adjusted incidence and mortality of AAD per 100,000 inhabitants were 17.3 (type A: 11.3, type B: 6.0) and 9.6 (type A: 8.4, type B: 1.2), respectively. Both values were significantly higher in men than in women.
Conclusions
The population-based survey of emergency medical care for AAD showed that the age-adjusted incidence of AAD was two-fold higher than in previous reports, and the actual mortality rates after AAD onset were markedly higher due to the high incidence of dead-on-arrival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although sink- and drain-related carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales transmission has been reported previously, there is limited research regarding the transmission of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales. AIM To investigate nosocomial ESBL-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae transmission via patient sinks and drains on a general surgical hospital ward. METHODS ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae transmission on a surgical ward at Tokyo Medical University Hospital (built in July 2019) from July 2019 to February 2020 was investigated. Information regarding the relatedness of the isolates from the patients and the environment was provided by whole-genome sequence analysis. FINDINGS Four clinical isolates of K. pneumoniae (TUM19831, TUM19832, TUM19833 and TUM19834) were detected during the study. TUM19831 was identified prior to moving to the new building and was detected again in the new building. TUM19832 and TUM19833 were detected in July 2019, and TUM19834 was detected in December 2019. TUM19835 and TUM19836 were detected in two different sinks and drains in July 2019, while a further two sinks and drains tested positive for TUM19837 and TUM19838 in February 2020. Whole-genome analysis revealed that all strains were ST307 and CTXM15 sequence types, and the isolates were indistinguishable by genetic analysis. Due to inadequate removal of the slime biofilm coating, the sinks needed to be cleaned again before TUM19837 and TUM19838 could be detected. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated the transmission of indistinguishable ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae strains from sinks and drains in the patient area of a general surgical hospital ward. There is a need to recognize this risk and develop optimal management strategies for plumbing systems in hospitals and other healthcare settings.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
How can we find an ovarian stimulation method that does not cause hyper stimulation syndrome but can produce a high pregnancy rate at one cycle?
Summary answer
This newly developed method for PCOS has a higher accumulative clinical outcome for one trial and no OHSS.
What is known already
Almost all conventional treatments for PCOS have managed to avoid OHSS by reducing the number of growing follicles, which are associated with high Estradiol levels and stimulate the production of vessel endothelial growth hormone (VEGF), leading to increased vessel permeability. Low dose FSH administration, In vitro maturation (IVM), Ovarian Drilling and Coasting have been performed to achieve this. However, their actual clinical outcome is still unsatisfactory.
Study design, size, duration
Evaluation of the efficiency of this method was conducted retrospectively at St. Mother Clinic. The embryonic development and the clinical outcome were studied for 34 PCOS patients during the period between November 2018 and December 2019.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
We started injections of FSH (150iu/ml), then we did ultrasound follicle monitoring. GnRH antagonist shots were started when the leading follicle reached 18mm and continued until the largest follicle was 22–24mm and the E2 value was over 4000pg/ml. Letrozole (2.5mg) and leuprorelin acetate (1.88mg) was injected as trigger. Two tablets each of Letrozole, Cabergoline and GnRH antagonist were given for 5 consecutive days after the oocyte retrieval. All embryos were cryopreserved.
Main results and the role of chance
Number of patients and cycles were 34 and 59. Average number of cryopreserved blastocysts was 6.12 (1–16). The frequencies of OHSS (mild, moderate, severe) were 29.4% (10/34), 0% (0/34), 0% (0/34). Average days between oocyte collection and withdrawal hemorrhage was 5.44(5–7). Cryopreservation rate was 100.0% (34/34). Clinical pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate was 42.3% (25/59) and 16.0% (4/25). The cumulative pregnancy rate was 73.7% (25/34). The four remaining unsuccessful cases still have 10,6,3 and 7 frozen embryos. So, there is a high possibility that they become successful, that would bring the cumulative pregnancy rate up to 82.3% (28/34).
Limitations, reasons for caution
This COS for PCOS seems promising, however it is premature to conclude that this method is established. This method requires caution monitoring for hormone level, follicle size and number and coagulant function. It also accompanied with the risk of ovarian hemorrhage on aspiration of a great number of oocytes.
Wider implications of the findings: This COS seems viable for PCOS cases. It could control the cohort of antral follicles with different doses of Letrozole to find the optimal COH method and it could become the first option for COS of PCOS.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What technique can be used to successfully cryopreserve five or fewer testicular spermatozoa from non-obstructive azoospermic men?
Summary answer
This method for cryopreserving five or fewer spermatozoa from non-obstructive azoospermic men showed a recovery rate above 90% and a survival rate of about 70%.
What is known already
Clinical outcomes of ICSI when using only five or fewer testicular spermatozoa after cryopreservation have been unsuccessful and are considered to be inferior to those using testicular fresh spermatozoa from Micro-TESE. A possible cause of these poor results has been the lack of a successful freezing technique. In these cases, repeated Micro-TESE and simultaneous oocyte pick up has been the only available treatment.
Study design, size, duration
Evaluation of the efficiency of cryopreservation by modified permeable cryoprotectant-free vitrification method (HTF supplemented with 0.1M sucrose and 10% SPS) for five or fewer testicular spermatozoa from 113 non-obstructive azoospermic men using Micro-TESE was conducted retrospectively at St. Mother Clinic between 2011 and 2018.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
This study included 113 non-obstructive azoospermic men. Each motile spermatozoon was carefully aspirated tail first into the pipette, put into a 2-μl microdroplet media of the vitrification medium near the tip of the Cryotop (Kitazato Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) submerged in liquid nitrogen vapor for 2 min and then immediately plunged in liquid nitrogen. The vitrified spermatozoa were warmed by dipping them into a droplet media. Successfully recovered motile sperm were selected and used for ICSI.
Main results and the role of chance
Number of patients, transfer cycles and collected sperms were 113, 192 and 560. Mean age of patients and their wives were 32.0±3.7y and 28.4±5.8y. Clinical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, live birth rate and number of live offspring were 24.0% (46/192), 19.6% (9/46), 19.3% (37/192) and 37 (Male: Female = 17: 20). Sperm recovery rate and survival rate were 90.3% (506/560) and 70.4% (356/506). Fertilization rate and mean number of transferred embryos were 51.6% (99/192) and 1.73 (1–2). Mean gestational weeks and mean body weight at birth were 39.23±5.27w and 2852.31±314.28g. No congenital anomalies were observed in any of the babies.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The maximum number of spermatozoa to which this method can be applied successfully is about 10. When the number of aspirated spermatozoa is over 10, some of them change direction and reach the mineral oil, and once this happens, they cannot be expelled out of the pipette.
Wider implications of the findings: This technique is very useful for the cryopreservation of very small numbers of testicular spermatozoa (fewer than 10) in order to avoid or reduce Micro-TESE interventions.

Abstract
Neutron diffraction measurements of H/D isotopic substitution are made at room temperature for seven H/D substituted hexafluoro-iso-propanol (HFIP; 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol)-water mixtures at 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 HFIP mole fraction (xHFIP). The eight partial structure factors except for the H(CH)-H(CH) pair obtained are subjected to an empirical potential structure refinement (EPSR) method to derive all site-site pair correlation functions. It is found that with increasing HFIP concentration the ice-like network of water disappears between xHFIP = 0.1 and 0.2, followed by the formation of a chain-like water structure embedded in an intrinsic structure of HFIP evolved at xHFIP = 0.4. The hydroxyl group of HFIP forms hydrogen bonds with the surrounding water molecules at all HFIP mole fractions investigated. There is no evidence that the water structure is well defined around the CF3 groups of HFIP, but water molecules surround tangentially the CF3 groups of HFIP.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The human mandible has been investigated from both clinical and evolutionary perspectives. Recent advances in genome science have identified the genetic regulation of human mandibular shape and size. Identification of genes that regulate mandibular shape and size would not only enhance our understanding of the mechanisms of mandibular growth and development but also help define a strategy to prevent mandibular dysplasia. This review provides a comprehensive summary of why and how the mandible was evaluated in the human mandible genome study. The variation in human mandibular shape and size has been progressively clarified, not only by focusing on the mandible alone but also by using extremely diverse approaches. The methods of data acquisition for evaluating human mandibular shape and size variation are well established. Furthermore, this review explains how to proceed with future research.

Abstract
Recently, natural ingredients have focused on the inhibition of bacteria-induced alveolar bone resorption in orthodontic treatment. Jixueteng (Jix), a Chinese traditional medicine, contains several kinds of flavonoids given their biological properties. We evaluated the effects of Jix on experimental periodontitis during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in rats. To this end, 9-week-old male Wistar rats, which were equipped with orthodontic appliance, were orally infected with Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg), while Jix was administered in their drinking water. A total of 28 days after the beginning of OTM, alveolar bone resorption on the right side of the upper jaws was scanned with micro-computed tomography. These were also used as histological specimens and underwent tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. TRAP-positive multinucleated cells were counted as osteoclasts. As a result, the distance of tooth movement in the OTM and Pg infection with Jix administration (OTM + Pg + Jix) group was the same as that of the sham-infected group. The amount of bone resorption and number of osteoclasts in the OTM + Pg + Jix group was more significantly decreased than that in the OTM and Pg-infected group ( P < 0.05). Hence, Jix had little effect on OTM and inhibited Pg-induced alveolar bone destruction. We suggested that the administration of Jix can support tooth movement and contribute to the prevention of periodontitis during orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
Injection of lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells is known as useful for activation of cellular immune system. Although the effect of LAK cells has been clarified in human or mice, this effect on function of immune cells has not been examined in calves. Healthy ten Holstein calves were injected with the LAK cells 2 days after birth (LAK Group), and another eight calves were observed as controls (Control Group). All calves received the colostrum formulation on the day of birth, and then, were inoculated with a live attenuated vaccine of bovine herpesvirus (BHV)-1 at 2 (the first vaccination) and 6 (the second vaccination) weeks after birth. Peripheral blood of their dam obtained 3 weeks before calving was used for preparation of LAK cells. Blood samples were taken prior to vaccine inoculation and 3 days after the first inoculation, as well as 3 and 6 days after the second vaccination from all calves. Numbers of CD8+ and CD21+ cells increased significantly after the second vaccination in the LAK Group compared with Control Group. The present study suggested the improved effect of injecting LAK cells originated from dams on immune cells function of young calves after BHV-1 live vaccine.

Abstract
This study evaluated the association between skeletal muscle mass depletion and severe oral mucositis in patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy after oral cancer resection. Skeletal muscle mass was evaluated in 60 patients using the skeletal muscle index, which was based on skeletal muscle cross-sectional area (on computed tomography) at the level of the third lumbar vertebra. In accordance with the grading criteria of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group, patients with a grade ≥3 were defined as having severe oral mucositis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate independent risk factors for severe oral mucositis. Eleven patients (18.3%) were diagnosed with low skeletal muscle mass. Severe oral mucositis occurred in 17 (28.3%) patients, and the mean skeletal muscle index was 42.8 cm2/m2. A low skeletal muscle mass (hazard ratio 18.1; P=0.001) and a chemotherapy regimen consisting of 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin (versus cisplatin only) (hazard ratio 5.5; P=0.015) were independent risk factors for severe oral mucositis. Future prospective studies are warranted to identify effective pre- and perioperative exercises and nutrition programmes to increase low skeletal muscle mass and reduce the incidence of severe oral mucositis in patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiotherapy after oral cancer resection.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
This study aimed to clarify the impact of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) on clinical outcomes in Japanese patients of advanced age with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA).
Methods
This was a national registry based retrospective comparative study, using data from the Japanese Registry Of All cardiac and vascular Diseases-Diagnostic Procedure Combination (JROAD-DPC), a nationwide claim based database from more than 600 hospitals. Patients admitted with rAAA between April 1, 2012, and March 31, 2015 were included in the study. Patient characteristics, management, and outcomes were compared between the elderly (aged ≥80 y) and the less old. The primary endpoint was in hospital mortality; the secondary endpoint was the functional status at discharge.
Results
Of 3 969 eligible patients, 49.9% were categorised as elderly. Elderly patients had a higher prevalence of female gender (41.8% vs. 17.0%, p<0.001) and disturbance of consciousness on admission (28.6% vs. 20.7%, p<0.001). They were less likely to undergo open surgical repair (31.6% vs. 56.7%, p<0.001), although EVAR was performed similarly in both groups (13.7% vs. 14.8%, p<0.33). The unadjusted mortality rate (61.8% vs. 37.6%, p<0.001) and mean Barthel index at discharge (73.0 vs. 91.8, p<0.001) were statistically significantly worse in the elderly. Multilevel mixed effect logistic regression analyses showed that old age was detected as an independent predictor of in hospital death (odds ratio 2.75; 95% confidence interval, 2.39–3.17; p<0.001). However, for patients who received EVAR, old age was not statistically significant (odds ratio 1.13; 95% confidence interval, 0.77–1.66; p<0.53).
Conclusion
Elderly patients with rAAA were less likely to be offered open surgical repair, and the mortality among those who received surgery was high. However, for the small subgroup of elderly patients currently selected for EVAR there was a favourable outcome. The further implementation of EVAR for rAAA in Japan, especially for elderly patients with suitable anatomy, may be justified.
