Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of triglycerides containing medium-chain fatty acids (MCT) and tributyrin (TB) supplementation in a milk replacer (MR) on growth performance, plasma metabolites, and hormone concentrations in dairy calves. Sixty-three Holstein heifer calves (body weight at 8 d of age, 41.1 ± 2.91 kg; mean ± SD) were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 experimental MR (28% crude protein and 18% fat): (1) containing 3.2% C8:0 and 2.8% C10:0 (in fat basis) without TB supplementation (CONT; n = 15), (2) containing 6.7% C8:0 and 6.4% C10:0 without TB supplementation (MCT; n = 16), (3) containing 3.2% C8:0 and 2.8% C10:0 with 0.6% (dry matter basis) TB supplementation (CONT+TB; n = 16), (4) containing 6.7% C8:0 and 6.4% C10:0 with 0.6% TB supplementation (MCT+TB; n = 16). The MR were offered at 600 g/d (powder basis) from 8 to 14 d, up to 1,300 g/d from 15 to 21 d, 1,400 g/d from 22 to 49 d, down to 700 g/d from 50 to 56 d, 600 g/d from 57 to 63 d, and weaned at 64 d of age. All calves were fed calf starter, chopped hay, and water ad libitum. The data were analyzed using a 2-way ANOVA via the fit model procedure of JMP Pro 16 (SAS Institute Inc.). Medium-chain fatty acid supplementation did not affect the total dry matter intake. However, calves that were fed MCT had greater feed efficiency (gain/feed) before weaning (0.74 ± 0.098 vs. 0.71 ± 0.010 kg/kg) compared with non-MCT calves. The MCT calves also had a lower incidence of diarrhea compared with non-MCT calves during 23 to 49 d of age and the weaning period (50 to 63 d of age; 9.2% vs. 18.5% and 10.5% vs. 17.2%, respectively). Calves fed with TB had a greater total dry matter intake during postweaning (3,465 vs. 3,232 g/d). Calves fed TB also had greater body weight during the weaning (90.7 ± 0.97 vs. 87.9 ± 1.01 kg) and postweaning period (116.5 ± 1.47 vs. 112.1 ± 1.50 kg) compared with that of non-TB calves. The plasma metabolites and hormone concentrations were not affected by MCT or TB. These results suggest that MCT and TB supplementation in the MR may improve the growth performance and gut health of dairy calves.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Purpose
Worsening renal function (WRF) can sometimes occur in the patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and increase the risk of morbidity and mortality (1). In a previous study, it was reported that fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) reflects net sodium reabsorption from nephron segments and predicts WRF during treating ADHF (2). On the other hand, recently the new drugs which approach urine concentration mechanism and affect urine osmolality (U-OSM), such as tolvaptan and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, have begun to be widely used as treatment of heart failure. Thus, we focused on U-OSM, which reflects not only sodium handling but also water excretion controlled by the collecting duct, and evaluated the association between WRF and U-OSM. Moreover, previous studies have demonstrated that FENa, fractional excretion of urea nitrogen and transtubular potassium concentration gradient are markers for long-term prognosis in patients with ADHF (3–5). Therefore, we also studied whether U-OSM can predict prognosis in ADHF.
Methods
A total of 157 patients admitted to our hospital because of a primary diagnosis of ADHF from February 2020 through July 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. U-OSM in the spot urinary samples were examined within 72 hours after admission. U-OSM was calculated based on the following validated formula (6): U-OSM = 1.07 × {2 × [urine sodium (mEq/L)] + [urine urea nitrogen (mg/dL)]/2.8 + [urine creatinine (mg/dl)] × 2/3} + 16.2. The primary outcome was the occurrence of WRF during hospitalization. WRF was defined as increased serum creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dL from baseline (7). The secondary outcome was the occurrence of ADHF readmission and all-cause death within 180 days after discharge.
Results
Primary Outcome. WRF developed in 46% of all patients. In the patients that developed WRF during hospitalization, U-OSM was significantly lower than in the patients without WRF (366±106 mOsm/L versus 430±128 mOsm/L; P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed the optimal cutoff values of U-OSM was 403 mOsm/L (AUC 0.64; 95% CI: 0.56–0.72; P<0.001) to predict the WRF (Figure 1). On multivariable logistic regression analysis, U-OSM (OR, 1.99, 95% CI: 1.27–3.12; p=0.003) and serum creatinine (OR, 1.00, 95% CI: 0.99–1.00; P=0.009) were independent predictors of WRF.
Secondary Outcome. There were 34 patients (22%) readmitted and 9 patients (6%) died within 180 days after discharge. ROC curve analysis revealed the optimal cutoff values of U-OSM as 349 mOsm/L (C-statistic 0.74; 95% CI: 0.65–0.83; P<0.001) to predict ADHF readmission and all-cause death within 180 days (Figure 2A). On Kaplan-Meier analysis, the secondary outcome was significantly higher in patients with U-OSM<349 mOsm/L (u-OSM≥349, 57%, U-OSM<349, 43%; HR, 0.99; 95% CI: 0.99–1.00, P<0.001) (Figure 2B).
Conclusion
U-OSM on admission may be a predictor of WRF and a prognostic marker in ADHF patients.

Abstract
A new correction algorithm for closed orbit distortion based on an adaptive feedforward control (AFC) has been developed. At SPring-8, two helicity-switching twin-helical undulators (THUs) had been implemented with conventional feedforward corrections. However, the validity of these corrections turned out to be expiring due to unforeseen variation in the error magnetic fields with time. The developed AFC system has been applied to the THUs dynamically updating the feedforward table without stopping the helicity switching amid user experiments. The error sources in the two THUs are successfully resolved and corrected even while the two THUs are switching simultaneously with the same repetition period. The actual operation of the new AFC system enables us to keep the orbit variations suppressed with an accuracy at the sub-micrometre level in a transparent way for light source users.

Abstract
Since an X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) facility is a linac-based single-user machine, a multi-beamline mode of operation, which improves the efficiency of user experiments, is critical for accommodating users' rapidly increasing demand for beamtime. A key supporting technology is a highly stable pulsed power supply (PS), which enables stable XFEL operations by precisely switching the beam route. We developed a high-power pulsed PS to drive a kicker magnet installed in a SACLA's beam switching system. SiC MOSFETs were adapted as switching elements to reduce the required size and to increase the electric power efficiency. The PS we developed provides two key capabilities: (i) a high current stability of 20 ppm (peak-to-peak) at a peak power of 0.24 MW and (ii) generation of controllable, bipolar, and trapezoidal current waveforms at 60 Hz. This paper describes the overall concept, the detailed design, the performance achieved, and the initial beam test results.

Abstract
Summary
Objective:
To examine the physicians’ preference between Web and fax-based remote data entry (RDE) system for an ongoing randomized controlled trial (RCT) in Japan.
Methods:
We conducted a survey among all the collaborating physicians (n = 512) of the CASE-J (Candesartan Antihypertensive Survival Evaluation in Japan) trial, who have been recruiting patients and sending follow-up data using the Web or a fax-based RDE system. The survey instrument assessed physicians’ choice between Web and fax-based RDE systems, their practice pattern, and attitudes towards these two modalities.
Results:
A total of 448 (87.5%) responses were received. The proportions of physicians who used Web, fax, and the combination of these two were 45.9%, 33.3% and 20.8%, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that physicians 55 years or younger [odds ratio (OR) = 1.9, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.1-3.3] and regular users of computers (OR = 4.2, 95% CI = 2.1-8.2) were more likely to use the Web-based RDE system.
Conclusions:
This information would be useful in designing an RCT with a Web-based RDE system in Japan and abroad.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known to impair fracture healing. Increasing evidence suggests that some microRNA (miRNA) is involved in the pathophysiology of diabetes and its complications. We hypothesized that the functions of miRNA and changes to their patterns of expression may be implicated in the pathogenesis of impaired fracture healing in DM. METHODS Closed transverse fractures were created in the femurs of 116 rats, with half assigned to the DM group and half assigned to the control group. Rats with DM were induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. At post-fracture days five, seven, 11, 14, 21, and 28, miRNA was extracted from the newly generated tissue at the fracture site. Microarray analysis was performed with miRNA samples from each group on post-fracture days five and 11. For further analysis, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis was performed at each timepoint. RESULTS Microarray analysis showed that there were 14 miRNAs at day five and 17 miRNAs at day 11, with a greater than twofold change in the DM group compared with the control group. Among these types of miRNA, five were selected based on a comparative and extended literature review. Real-time PCR analysis revealed that five types of miRNA (miR-140-3p, miR-140-5p, miR-181a-1-3p, miR-210-3p, and miR-222-3p) were differentially expressed with changing patterns of expression during fracture healing in diabetic rats compared with controls. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide information to further understand the pathology of impaired fracture healing in a diabetic rat model. These results may allow the potential development of molecular therapy using miRNA for the treatment of impaired fracture healing in patients with DM.Cite this article: S. Takahara, S. Y. Lee, T.

Abstract
The case of a 34-year-old man with relapsing Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which occurred five months after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, is described. He was originally treated with aggressive chemotherapy, which put him in hematological remission, and he subsequently received donor leukocyte infusion (DLI) form the original donor. To assess the efficacy of this adoptive immunotherapy, we monitored minor-BCR/ABL (m-BCR/ABL) mRNA levels using the recently established real-time quantitative RT-PCR (RQ-PCR) assay. The results were compared with those obtained using conventional qualitative RT-PCR assays run in parallel. RQ-PCR, but not RT-PCR-based, minimum residual disease (MRD) detection showed a good correlation with the rapid changes documented during the post-DLI clinical course. Currently, six months after DLI, the patient continues to be in remission, which is consistent with the undetectable levels of m-BCR/ABL mRNA in the leukemic clone using RQ-PCR found in this study. Thus, monitoring of m-bcr/abl transcripts using RQ-PCR provides more useful information on a clinical assessment of MRD.

Abstract
Objectives: To examine the cost-effectiveness of a community-based screening programme for chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) in Japan. Methods: Using a computer model of a Markov process, the cost-effectiveness of an annual ECG screening programme and an annual pulse palpation screening programme for arrhythmia were compared with no screening. A hypothetical Japanese population of 65 year old individuals was followed until 85 years of age. We assumed that individuals with irregular beats on palpation were worked up by ECG and that ECG was perfect in detecting AF, whereas palpation was not. It was also assumed that patients diagnosed with AF received anticoagulant therapy, that some AF patients developed ischaemic stroke, and that some on anticoagulant therapy developed intracranial or gastrointestinal haemorrhage. Costs, efficacy of anticoagulation, utility of health status, and clinical variables were estimated from the literature. Outcomes were expressed as US dollars per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). Results: Both annual ECG screening programme and annual palpation screening programme were more costly and at the same time more effective compared with no screening, with their incremental cost-effectiveness ratios approximately US$8000 per QALY in males and US$10,000 per QALY in females. Sensitivity analyses showed high sensitivity of cost-effectiveness ratios to the incidence of ischaemic stroke and anticoagulants prescription rate. Two annual screening programmes were similar in effectiveness and costs. Conclusion: To prevent ischaemic stroke associated with AF, both annual ECG screening and annual palpation screening were favourable in the context of conventional criteria for cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that functions as a cofactor for biotin-dependent carboxylases. The biochemical and physiological roles of biotin in brain regions have not yet been investigated sufficiently in vivo. Thus, in order to clarify the function of biotin in the brain, we herein examined biotin contents, biotinylated protein expression (e.g. holocarboxylases), and biotin-related gene expression in the brain of biotin-deficient rats. Three-week-old male Wistar rats were divided into a control group, biotin-deficient group, and pair-fed group. Rats were fed experimental diets from 3 wk old for 8 wk, and the cortex, hippocampus, striatum, hypothalamus, and cerebellum were then collected. In the biotin-deficient group, the maintenance of total biotin and holocarboxylases, increases in the bound form of biotin and biotinidase activity, and the expression of an unknown biotinylated protein were observed in the cortex. In other regions, total and free biotin contents decreased, holocarboxylase expression was maintained, and bound biotin and biotinidase activity remained unchanged. Biotin-related gene (pyruvate carboxylase, sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter, holocarboxylase synthetase, and biotinidase) expression in the cortex and hippocampus also remained unchanged among the dietary groups. These results suggest that biotin may be related to cortex functions by binding protein, and the effects of a biotin deficiency and the importance of biotin differ among the different brain regions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Abnormalities of swallowing in patients with mandibular prognathism have not been evaluated quantitatively. The aim of this study was to compare tongue pressure production for bolus transfer between volunteers with normal occlusion and patients with mandibular prognathism. The control group had 10 female volunteers with normal occlusion, and the patient group had 10 women with mandibular prognathism. Tongue pressure was measured by a palatal sensor sheet at five sites on swallowing 4 mL of a tasteless and odourless jelly. RESULTS The tongue pressure waveform differed between the control and patient groups. The incidence of a double-peak tongue pressure waveform was more frequent in the patient group. In both groups, the exertion of tongue pressure began at the anterior point of the sensor sheet, followed by the peripheral parts. Although the order of expression of tongue pressure was the same for the two groups, maximum tongue pressure at all parts of the sensor sheet was lower in the patient group than in the control group. Furthermore, swallowing time was longer in the patient group than in the control group at the peripheral parts of the palate. These results clearly show the difference in tongue pressure production during swallowing between patients with mandibular prognathism and volunteers with normal occlusion. The current findings suggest that maxillofacial morphology may affect tongue movement during swallowing.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the biocompatibility of a new Senko E-Ternal coating (SEC) for cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits with the well-established poly-2-methoxyethyl acrylate (PMEA) coating. Methods: Forty patients undergoing aortic valve replacement were randomly assigned to either an SEC-coated group (n = 20) or a PMEA-coated group (n = 20). Clinical data and the following markers were analyzed: platelet count, platelet factor (PF) 4, fibrinogen, fibrinogen degradation products (FDPs), antithrombin III (AT III), thrombin-antithrombin complex (TAT), plasminogen, complement hemolytic activity (CH50), complement 3 (C3) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Blood samples were obtained at five time points in both groups. Results: CPB time, aortic cross-clamp time and blood loss and transfusion were similar in both groups. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of platelet count, PF4 and all coagulation and fibrinolytic parameters (FDP, AT III, TAT, and plasminogen) at any time points. Inflammatory markers (CH50, C3 and IL-6) were also similar in both groups at all time points. Conclusions: The SEC-coated circuit demonstrated equivalent biocompatibility to the PMEA-coated circuit. SEC-coated circuits are, therefore, favorably comparable to PMEA-coated circuits for clinical use in CPB.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The stem cell compartment in the esophageal epithelium is possibly located in the basal layer. We have identified significant expression of Smad2/3, phosphorylated at specific linker threonine residues (pSmad2/3L-Thr), in the epithelial cells of murine stomach and intestine, and have suggested that these cells are epithelial stem cells. In this study, we explore whether pSmad2/3L-Thr could serve as a biomarker for esophageal stem cells. We examined esophageal tissues from normal C57BL/6 mice and those with esophagitis. Double immunofluorescent staining of pSmad2/3L-Thr with Ki67, CDK4, p63, or CK14 was performed. After immunofluorescent staining, we stained the same sections with hematoxylin-eosin and observed these cells under a light microscope. We used the 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) labeling assay to examine label retention of pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells. We collected specimens 5, 10, 15 and 20 days after repeated BrdU administrations and observed double immunofluorescent staining of pSmad2/3L-Thr with BrdU. In the esophagus, pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells were detected in the basal layer. These cells were detected between Ki67 immunostaining-positive cells, but they were not co-localized with Ki67. pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells showed co-localization with CDK4, p63, and CK14. Under a light microscope, pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells indicated undifferentiated morphological features. Until 20 days follow-up period, pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells were co-localized with BrdU. pSmad2/3L-Thr immunostaining-positive cells significantly increased in the regeneration phase of esophagitis mucosae, as compared with control mice (esophagitis vs. CONTROL 6.889 ± 0.676/cm vs. 4.293 ± 0.659/cm; P < 0.001). We have identified significant expression of pSmad2/3L-Thr in the specific epithelial cells of murine esophagi. We suggest that these cells are slow-cycling epithelial stem-like cells before re-entry to the cell cycle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is common and results in significant costs to individuals, families and society. Although some research supports the efficacy of hypnosis for CLBP, we know little about the minimum dose needed to produce meaningful benefits, the roles of home practice and hypnotizability on outcome, or the maintenance of treatment benefits beyond 3 months. METHODS One hundred veterans with CLBP participated in a randomized, four-group design study. The groups were (1) an eight-session self-hypnosis training intervention without audio recordings for home practice; (2) an eight-session self-hypnosis training intervention with recordings; (3) a two-session self-hypnosis training intervention with recordings and brief weekly reminder telephone calls; and (4) an eight-session active (biofeedback) control intervention. RESULTS Participants in all four groups reported significant pre- to post-treatment improvements in pain intensity, pain interference and sleep quality. The hypnosis groups combined reported significantly more pain intensity reduction than the control group. There was no significant difference among the three hypnosis conditions. Over half of the participants who received hypnosis reported clinically meaningful (≥ 30%) reductions in pain intensity, and they maintained these benefits for at least 6 months after treatment. Neither hypnotizability nor amount of home practice was associated significantly with treatment outcome. CONCLUSIONS The findings indicate that two sessions of self-hypnosis training with audio recordings for home practice may be as effective as eight sessions of hypnosis treatment. If replicated in other patient samples, the findings have important implications for the application of hypnosis treatment for chronic pain management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A quantitative understanding of the histological alteration of the skin is important for assessing the severity of photoaging. METHODS We performed Elastica-van Gieson staining and immunohistochemistry for decorin on 34 facial skin sections. We evaluated the alteration of collagen fibers and decorin (a modulator for collagen fibrillogenesis), according to the 5 grades of morphological change in elastic fibers that was established by Kligman (1969). The objectivity of a stage (Stages I-VI), which was established in this study, was evaluated using weighted kappa statistical analysis based on the degree of agreement in stage determination by 11 observers using a blind procedure. Correlation between the crow's-feet-area wrinkles grades of another 26 women and stages was also analyzed. RESULTS The initial alteration of elastic fibers was observed in the deep dermis. Decorin was not detected in very severely altered skin. Based on the combination of changes in the elastic fibers, collagenic fibers, and decorin, skin tissues were categorized into 6 stages according to severity. The statistical analysis showed almost perfect agreement between observers. Significant positive correlation between stages and wrinkle scores was found. CONCLUSIONS We propose a new objective histological scale that is useful for assessing the severity of photoaging.
