Abstract
Although exposure-directed busulfan (BU) dosing can improve allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation outcomes, there is still large variability in BU exposure with test dose alone due to changes in BU clearance caused by drug interactions. We conducted a single-arm phase II trial using the combined test dose and therapeutic drug monitoring strategy (PK-guided group) and compared the outcomes with an external historical cohort receiving a fixed-dose (fixed-dose group). The first eight and second eight doses were adjusted based on the area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC) of the test and first doses, respectively, targeting a total AUC of 82.1 mg·h/L. All patients received either BU and cyclophosphamide conditioning (BU/CY) or fludarabine (FLU)-containing conditioning. The BU clearance at the first dose decreased more in patients receiving FLU than in those receiving BU/CY; however, BU clearance also declined over time in patients who received BU/CY. The simulated total AUC (sAUC) with test dose only was significantly higher in patients who received FLU than in those who received BU/CY, but sAUC with the combined strategy was comparable. The 100-day progression-free survival was 85.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 71.9-92.8%), and was not inferior to that in the fixed-dose group. For the FLU-containing regimens, the PK-guided group showed decreased relapse (0.0% vs. 26.9%, p = 0.03), and favorable overall survival (75.1% vs. 57.0%, p = 0.07) at 1 year. The combined strategy effectively controlled the BU exposure close to the target levels, potentially improving efficacy, especially in patients receiving the FLU-containing regimen. Clinical evaluation of efficacy of dose-modified intravenous busulfan in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for hematological malignancy (#UMIN000014077, June 15th, 2014).

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
Viral infection is one of the lethal adverse events after cord blood transplantation (CBT). Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and killer immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligand divergences can increase the risk of viral infection due to conflicting interactions between virus-infected cells and immune cells. However, the relationship between these disparities and the frequency of viral infection after CBT remains to be evaluated. Herein, we have conducted a retrospective multicenter study to assess the effect of HLA and KIR ligand mismatches on viral infections after CBT. The study included 429 patients, among which 126 viral infections occurred before day 100. Viral infection was significantly associated with poorer overall survival (OS; hazard ratio [HR] 1.74, p < 0.01). Patients harboring ≥3 mismatches in the HLA allele and inhibitory KIR ligand mismatches (HLA & KIR mismatches) had a significantly greater prevalence of viral infection (HR 1.66, p = 0.04). Thus, patients with HLA & KIR mismatches had poorer outcomes in terms of non-relapse mortality (HR 1.61, p = 0.05). Our study demonstrates the unfavorable impacts of HLA & KIR mismatches on viral infections and non-relapse mortality after CBT. Evaluating the viral infection risk and performance of an appropriate and early intervention in high-risk patients and optimizing the graft selection algorithm could improve the outcome of CBTs.

Abstract
Reactive aldehydes arise as by-products of metabolism and are normally cleared by multiple families of enzymes. We find that mice lacking two aldehyde detoxifying enzymes, mitochondrial ALDH2 and cytoplasmic ADH5, have greatly shortened lifespans and develop leukemia. Hematopoiesis is disrupted profoundly, with a reduction of hematopoietic stem cells and common lymphoid progenitors causing a severely depleted acquired immune system. We show that formaldehyde is a common substrate of ALDH2 and ADH5 and establish methods to quantify elevated blood formaldehyde and formaldehyde-DNA adducts in tissues. Bone-marrow-derived progenitors actively engage DNA repair but also imprint a formaldehyde-driven mutation signature similar to aging-associated human cancer mutation signatures. Furthermore, we identify analogous genetic defects in children causing a previously uncharacterized inherited bone marrow failure and pre-leukemic syndrome. Endogenous formaldehyde clearance alone is therefore critical for hematopoiesis and in limiting mutagenesis in somatic tissues.

Abstract
An 81-year-old female was referred to our hospital with progressive neutropenia and anemia of unknown etiology. We performed a bone marrow biopsy which was notable for hypercellularity, multinucleated megakaryocytes and hypo-granular neutrophils with 2.6% blasts. A diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome with multilineage dysplasia (MDS-MLD) was made. Karyotype analysis revealed a t (9;22)(q34;q11.2) BCR-ABL1 fusion with no additional chromosomal abnormalities. BCR-ABL1 was also detected in transcripts from peripheral blood cells as well as in polynuclear leukocytes via FISH. Within one year, her peripheral blood neutrophil count had declined to 403/µl; further analysis was notable for increasing dysplasia including enlarged platelets and hypo-granular neutrophils. Platelet counts gradually increased over time and reached 100×104/µl. A second bone marrow examination revealed similar cell morphology and the BCR-ABL1 translocation. Her condition deteriorated and blood transfusions were required. Treatment with low doses of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), imatinib mesylate (100 mg), was initiated. Thereafter, both the neutropenia and anemia resolved gradually, platelet counts returned to normal levels, and dysplasia eventually disappeared. Detection of the BCR-ABL fusion in mRNA decreased to < 0.0007% (IS%) after 16 months of treatment. Several cases of BCR-ABL1-positive myelodysplastic syndrome treated with TKIs have been reported. Our results suggest that complete hematologic recovery in response to imatinib mesylate suggests a critical role for the BCR-ABL1 fusion in the pathogenesis of this disease.

Abstract
Interaction cross sections for ^{42-51}Ca on a carbon target at 280 MeV/nucleon have been measured for the first time. The neutron number dependence of derived root-mean-square matter radii shows a significant increase beyond the neutron magic number N=28. Furthermore, this enhancement of matter radii is much larger than that of the previously measured charge radii, indicating a novel growth in neutron skin thickness. A simple examination based on the Fermi-type distribution, and mean field calculations point out that this anomalous enhancement of the nuclear size beyond N=28 results from an enlargement of the core by a sudden increase in the surface diffuseness of the neutron density distribution, which implies the swelling of the bare ^{48}Ca core in Ca isotopes beyond N=28.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) has been considered as a potentially curative treatment option for refractory or relapsed diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. However, there is little information available, especially for Japanese patients and in cord blood transplantation (CBT). We aimed to determine treatment outcomes of allo-SCT for DLBCL in the Kyoto Stem Cell Transplantation Group, a multi-institutional joint research group. Sixty-eight DLBCL patients who underwent their first allo-SCT between 2003 and 2016 were included. The median time from diagnosis to transplantation was 13.5 months. Thirty-one patients were in CR/PR at transplantation. Twenty-seven patients underwent CBT. The median follow-up for survivors was 44.2 months. Four-year overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were 23% (95% CI, 13-35%) and 20% (95% CI, 11-31%), respectively. Cumulative incidences of non-relapse mortality and relapse were 23% and 57%, respectively. Patients in CR/PR at allo-SCT had better OS (4-year, 46% vs 4%, P < 0.001) and RFS (4-year, 36% vs 7%, P = 0.005). The source of the stem cell did not significantly affect OS (4-year, bone marrow vs cord blood vs peripheral blood, 28.6% vs 27.2% vs 6.5%, P = 0.193). In multivariate analysis, non-remission status at SCT associated with inferior OS and RFS. Duration from diagnosis to transplantation of less than 1 year associated with inferior RFS. Allo-SCT, including CBT, may be a promising therapeutic modality for DLBCL patients who have good disease control at transplantation.

Abstract
Mild winters influenced by global warming have increased the incidence of erratic flowering ('flowering disorder') in Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) trees in Japan. To discover how, when and what kind of disorder/damage occur in pear flower buds, we observed axillary flower buds of two cultivars, 'Kosui' (a mid-chill cultivar) and 'Niitaka' (a high-chill cultivar), grown at five locations. We focused on the phenology from autumn 2015 to spring 2016, when temperatures were higher than for average years, especially from September to January, and large fluctuations occurred due to El Niño. During the blooming season in the spring of 2016, both the percentage of blooming flower buds and the number of florets per flower bud decreased in trees located at lower latitudes (with lower chilling accumulation) with a more severe problem in 'Niitaka' than in 'Kosui'. As shown by forcing excised shoots, the onset and release of endodormancy occurred earlier in 'Kosui' than 'Niitaka' and occurred earlier in trees growing at higher latitudes than at lower latitudes (warmer regions). The freezing tolerance of flower buds, measured as the lethal temperature for 50% survival (LT50), was similar for the cultivars beginning in autumn and reached maximum levels, LT50 values of less than -12 °C, between late-December and mid-January in both cultivars, except for those in Kagoshima (the lowest latitude), where the maximum LT50 was only -5 °C throughout the season. We propose that warmer autumn-winter temperatures may prevent the acquisition of freezing tolerance, disturb endodormancy progression and disrupt floral organ development, thereby causing flowering disorder in pear trees. The risk of occurrence of flowering disorder in pear may be higher in high-chill cultivars than in low- or mid-chill cultivars and at lower latitudes compared with higher latitudes.

Abstract
Dasatinib treatment markedly increases the number of large granular lymphocytes (LGLs) in a proportion of Ph+ leukemia patients, which associates with a better prognosis. The lymphocytosis is predominantly observed in cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seropositive patients, yet detectable CMV reactivation exists only in a small fraction of patients. Thus, etiology of the lymphocytosis still remains unclear. Here, we identified NK cells as the dominant LGLs expanding in dasatinib-treated patients, and applied principal component analysis (PCA) to an extensive panel of NK cell markers to explore underlying factors in NK cell activation. PCA displayed phenotypic divergence of NK cells that reflects CMV-associated differentiation and genetic differences, and the divergence was markedly augmented in CMV-seropositive dasatinib-treated patients. Notably, the CMV-associated highly differentiated status of NK cells was already observed at leukemia diagnosis, and was further enhanced after starting dasatinib in virtually all CMV-seropositive patients. Thus, the extensive characterization of NK cells by PCA strongly suggests that CMV is an essential factor in the NK cell activation, which progresses stepwise during leukemia and subsequent dasatinib treatment most likely by subclinical CMV reactivation. This study provides a rationale for the exploitation of CMV-associated NK cell activation for treatment of leukemias.

Abstract
N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially long-chain types such as docosahexaenoic acid, are important nutrients in pregnancy, but the relationship between n-3 PUFA levels and perinatal and postnatal depression remains controversial. This study examined the possible relationship between serum n-3 PUFA levels and psychological distress among expectant mothers in early pregnancy. Data and specimen samples were obtained in a birth cohort study started at Toyama Regional Center in July 2012 as an adjunct study of the Japan Environment and Children's Study. Blood samples were collected at 9-14 weeks' gestation (75% of samples) or after 15 weeks (25%). Subjects with a Kessler Psychological Distress Scale score (K6) ⩾ 9 were assigned to the psychological distress group (n=283). The control group (n=283) was matched for age, educational level and family income. Fatty acid composition was determined from serum samples by gas chromatography. Associations between fatty acid levels and incident psychological distress were evaluated by logistic regression. After adjusting for possible confounders, eicosapentaenoic acid showed an inverse association with risk of psychological distress, with an odds ratio of 0.47 (95% confidence interval: 0.30, 0.73) for the highest tertile. This inverse association remained even after applying a higher cutoff score (K6 ⩾ 13) indicating severe psychological distress (74 pairs). We believe this is the first study to reveal the associations between serum n-3 PUFAs and risk of psychological distress in early pregnancy. Further research is required to verify the causality of these associations.

Abstract
The steady state compositions of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) throughout the various viscera and tissues within the whole body of rats have not previously been described in a comprehensive manner. Dams consumed diets containing 10wt% fat (15% linoleate and 3% α-linolenate). Male offspring (n=9) at 7-week of age were euthanized and dissected into 25 compartments. Total lipid fatty acids for each compartment were quantified by GC/FID and summed for the rat whole body; total n-6 PUFA was 12wt% and total n-3 PUFA was 2.1% of total fatty acids. 18:2n-6 accounted for 84% of the total n-6 PUFA, 20:4n-6 was 12%, 18:3n-3 was 59% of the total n-3 PUFA, 20:5n-3 was 2.1%, and 22:6n-3 was 32%. The white adipose tissue contained the greatest amounts of 18:2n-6 (1.5g) and 18:3n-3 (0.2g). 20:4n-6 was highest in muscle (60mg) and liver (57mg), while 22:6n-3 was greatest in muscle (46mg), followed by liver (27mg) and carcass (20mg). In terms of fatty acid composition expressed as a percentage, 18:2n-6 was the highest in the heart (13wt%), while 18:3n-3 was about 1.3wt% for skin, white adipose tissue and fur. 20:4n-6 was highest (21-25wt%) in the circulation, kidney, and spleen, while 22:6n-3 was highest in the brain (12wt%), followed by the heart (7.9wt%), liver (5.9wt%), and spinal cord (5.1wt%). Selectivity was greatest when comparing 22:6n-3 in brain (12%) to white adipose (0.08%) (68-fold) and 22:5n-6 in testes (15.6%) compared to white adipose (0.02%), 780-fold.

Abstract
In the present paper, correlation between free polyamines and growth of peach (Prunus persica cv. Yuzora) in vitro callus was investigated. Growth of the callus was divided into three phases based on measurement of fresh weight. Free polyamines, putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd), and spermine (Spm), could be detected during peach callus growth. Changes in free Put titers followed the callus growth rate, as shown by low and stable levels in the first stage, quick increase at the beginning of the second phase, and slow increase in the last phase, whereas fluctuations of Spd and Spm titers were aberrant from that of Put at early stage. Expressions of five key genes involved in polyamine biosynthesis were characterized, in which only the genes leading to Put synthesis, ADC (arginine decarboxylase) and ODC (ornithine decarboxylase), agreed with callus growth and fluctuation of Put titers. Treatment of the callus with D-arginine, an inhibitor of ADC, led to significant growth inhibition and enormous reduction of endogenous Put, coupled with obvious decrease of mRNA levels of ADC and ODC. Exogenous application of Put partially restored the callus growth, along with resumption of endogenous Put and expression levels of ADC and ODC. Spd and Spm titers experienced minor change in comparison to Put. The data presented here suggested that free Put played an important part in peach callus growth. Putative mechanisms or mode of action underlying the role of Put in peach callus growth and different expression patterns of the genes responsible for polyamine biosynthesis are also discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study reviews the validity and reliability of DESIGN, a tool for classifying pressure ulcer severity and monitoring progression towards healing. Only the tool's healing progression component was evaluated. METHOD Inter-rater reliability was evaluated by calculating the agreement rate of scores, based on eight photos of pressure ulcers and six actual ulcers, made by a panel of seven nurses. Validity was assessed, using the same eight photos, by comparing DESIGN scores with those made using the validated Pressure Sore Status Tool (PSST). RESULTS The DESIGN inter-rater reliability results showed a high correlation of r = 0.98 for the photos and r = 0.91 for the real-life patients with pressure ulcers, respectively, for all seven raters based on total scores. For validity, a correlation greater than 0.91 was found between the DESIGN and PSST scores. CONCLUSION Based on our results, DESIGN was found to have both high inter-rater reliability and high validity among the seven nurses who quantitatively evaluated the wound-healing progress of the pressure ulcers in this study.

Abstract
We have previously reported that a multifunctional conjugate having the acridine derivative as an intercalative molecule and the polyamine moiety as an RNA cleaving molecule bound to a double helical RNA and cleaved the target efficiently. Along the study to develop a sequence and site specific artificial RNA cleaving molecule, we have development a novel intercalative molecule having polyamine moiety and DNA connecting function. The trisamine-acridine-tethered DNA is expected to bind to the complementary RNA and cleave the phosphodiester bond of the RNA near the position of the built-in interecalator.

Abstract
Phosphorothioate analogs of oligodeoxyribonucleotide (S-ODN) bearing non-branched polyamine molecule at C-5 position of certain pyrimidine base were synthesized. The synthesis of the modified S-ODNs was accomplished via post-synthetic modification method utilizing C-5 methoxycarbonylmethyl substituted deoxyuridine derivative with modest yields. The thermal stability of the dulexes containing modified S-ODNs was assessed through the measurement of the melting points (Tms). Interestingly, the Tms of the modified oligomers were considerably lower than that of the corresponding unmodified oligomer at relatively high concentration range. At lower concentration, on the other hand, the Tms of the modified S-ODNs were higher than that of the unmodified oligomer.

Abstract
To elucidate adsorption mechanism of alizarin red S (ARS), which is often used for staining bones in histology, adsorption of ARS on hydroxyapatite, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 (HAP), was investigated by a batch method, compared with alizarin, phenols, and benzenesulfonates. We found that ionized 1-, 2-OH groups (1-, 2-O(-)) of ARS can be electrostatically bound to Ca2+ on HAP, but that the 3-SO3(-) group of ARS hardly participates in adsorption on HAP. ARS-adsorbed HAP (ARS-HAP) in dark reddish violet was also prepared and analyzed by FT-IR microspectroscopy to gain structural information on bonding between ARS and HAP. The obtained spectrum, which was converted to difference spectra, indicated a single band of nu(C=O) at 1627 cm(-1) and two types of symmetric C=O stretching bands of nu(s)(C=O) + nu(C=C) at 1345 cm(-1) and nu(s)(C=O) + delta(O-C=C) at 1272 cm(-1). These bands imply the existence of a salt form in ARS-HAP via 1-, 2-OH groups of ARS. As a result of the existence of a chelate form in ARS-HAP via 1-OH and 9-C=O groups of ARS, two bands of nu(C=C) + nu(C=O) at 1572 cm(-1) and nu(C=O) + nu(C=C) at 1537 cm(-1) were also observed. In addition, ARS was almost desorbed from colored ARS-HAP at 50 degrees C by using neutral phosphate buffer to recover slightly pale pinkish HAP, or De-ARS-HAP. The desorbed ARS belongs to ARS previously adsorbed on HAP by salt formation, while the remaining color on De-ARS-HAP indicates ARS still adsorbed on HAP by chelate formation. Consequently, we elucidated two adsorption mechanisms of ARS on HAP: The major adsorption is salt formation made up with 1-, 2-O(-) of ARS and Ca2+ on HAP, and the minor adsorption is chelate formation made up with 1-O(-) and 9-C=O of ARS and Ca2+ on HAP.

Abstract
Three cDNAs (MdSPDS1, 2a and 2b) encoding spermidine synthase (SPDS), a key enzyme in the polyamine biosynthesis, have been cloned from apple [Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill. var. domestica (Borkh.) Mansf.]. The deduced amino acid sequences of their protein products share 76-83% identity with SPDSs of other higher plants. A comparison of the sequences of the three cDNAs and of the two corresponding genomic DNA fragments (SPDS1 and SPDS2) indicated that MdSPDS1 was transcribed from the SPDS1 sequence, whereas MdSPDS2a and MdSPDS2b were both derived from SPDS2 by alternative splicing. To learn more about the physiological roles of MdSPDS1, MdSPDS2a and MdSPDS2b, Northern analyses were carried out, together with measurements of polyamine content. Levels of both MdSPDS1 and MdSPD2a were higher in young leaves than in mature leaves and shoots. In fruits, mRNA levels were nearly as high as in young leaves and remained high during fruit development. By RT-PCR, MdSPDS2b transcripts were detected in mature leaves and shoots, but not in young leaves and fruits. These results indicate that MdSPDS2a and MdSPDS2b are differentially regulated in a tissue- and developmentally specific manner. The content of free polyamines in mesocarp tissues was measured at five stages of fruit development. At all stages, spermidine (Spd) was the predominant form of polyamine. The level of Spd was high at the early growth stage and declined to about 90% during later developmental stages. The possible regulation of SPDS expression during apple fruit development is discussed.

Abstract
Leucine zipper-bearing kinase (LZK) is a novel member of the mixed lineage kinase (MLK) protein family, the cDNA of which was first cloned from a human brain cDNA library [Sakuma, H., Ikeda, A., Oka, S., Kozutsumi, Y., Zanetta, J.-P., and Kawasaki, T. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 28622-28629]. Several MLK family proteins have been proposed to function as MAP kinase kinase kinases in the c-Jun NH(2) terminal kinase (JNK)/stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) pathway. In the present study, we demonstrated that, like other MLKs, LZK activated the JNK/SAPK pathway but not the ERK pathway. LZK directly phosphorylated and activated MKK7, one of the two MAPKKs in the JNK/SAPK pathway, to a comparable extent to a constitutive active form of MEKK1 (MEKK1DeltaN), suggesting a biological role of LZK as a MAPKKK in the JNK/SAPK pathway. Recent studies have revealed the essential roles of scaffold proteins in intracellular signaling pathways including MAP kinase pathways. JIP-1, one of the scaffold proteins, has been shown to be associated with MLKs, MKK7, and JNK [Whitmarsh, A.J., Cavanagh, J., Tournier, C., Yasuda, J., and Davis, R.J. (1998) Science 281, 1671-1674], suggesting the presence of a selective signaling pathway including LZK, MKK7, and JNK. Consistent with this hypothesis, we provided evidence that LZK is associated with the C-terminal region of JIP-1 through its kinase catalytic domain. In addition, LZK-induced JNK activation was markedly enhanced when LZK and JNK were co-expressed with JIP-1. These results constituted important clues for understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating the signaling specificities of various JNK activators under different cellular conditions.

Abstract
In the three cases presented in this study, free tensor fasciae latae perforator flaps were used successfully for the coverage of defects in the extremities. This flap has no muscle component and is nourished by muscle perforators of the transverse branch of the lateral circumflex femoral system. The area of skin that can by nourished by these perforators is larger than 15 x 12 cm. The advantages of this flap include minimal donor-site morbidity, the preservation of motor function of the tensor fasciae latae muscle and fascia lata, the ability to thin the flap by removing excess fatty tissue, and a donor scar that can be concealed. In cases that involve transection of the perforator above the deep fascia, the operation can be completed in a very short period of time. This flap is especially suitable as a free flap for young women and children who have scars in the proximal region of the lateral thigh or groin region that were caused by split-thickness skin grafting or full-thickness skin grafting during previous operations.

Abstract
In this article, three cases in which free medial plantar perforator flaps were successfully transferred for coverage of soft-tissue defects in the fingers and foot are described. This perforator flap has no fascial component and is nourished only by perforators of the medial plantar vessel and a cutaneous vein or with a small segment of the medial plantar vessel. The advantages of this flap are minimal donor-site morbidity, minimal damage to both the posterior tibial and medial plantar systems, no need for deep dissection, the ability to thin the flap by primary removal of excess fatty tissue, the use of a large cutaneous vein as a venous drainage system, a good color and texture match for finger pulp repair, short time for flap elevation, possible application as a flow-through flap, and a concealed donor scar.

Abstract
A cDNA clone encoding phytoene desaturase (PDS) was isolated from citrus (Citrus unshiu Marc.). The transcript of the isolated PDS (CitPDS1) was not detected by conventional RNA gel-blot analysis; instead, it was detected by a sensitive reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). The CitPDS1 transcript in the juice sacs/segment epidermis (edible part) was at a low level in the young fruit, and it increased toward maturation like citrus phytoene synthase (CitPSY1). In the peel, in contrast to CitPSY1, the transcript of which was induced toward maturation, the level of the CitPDS1 transcript remained constant after an increase in July, indicating non-coordinate regulation of CitPDS1 and CitPSY1 in the peel.

Abstract
A free groin adipose flap using an intraoral approach was used to correct facial contour deformities instead of a groin dermis-fat flap. The major disadvantages of the latter flap are that multistage debulking procedures are required and there are wide postoperative donor scars because of the wide skin portion included in the flap. To overcome these weaknesses the authors developed a free groin, customized ("berry picked") adipose flap, which was transferred by an intraoral approach for reconstruction of congenital hemifacial (orbitozygomatic) hypoplasia. The advantages of this method include one-stage augmentation without secondary defatting, no skin grafting of the donor defect, a donor scar in a concealed area, and possible transfer through an intraoral approach that results in minimal invasive surgery with no scar at the graft site.

Abstract
The concentration of the major polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) in brain, docosahexaenoate, may be markedly reduced by two or more generations of dietary restriction of sources of n-3 fatty acids in the diet. Such a deficiency was induced through the feeding of safflower oil as the principal source of essential fatty acids. The reference point for this diet was an n-3 adequate diet to which alpha-linoleate and docosahexaenoate were added through the addition of a small quantity of flax seed or algael oils, respectively. The loss of brain DHA was associated with poorer performance in spatial tasks and an olfactory-cued reversal learning task. No difference could be observed in the hippocampal gross morphology. This study demonstrates the importance of providing a source of n-3 fatty acids during mammalian growth and development.

Abstract
Studies were carried out to determine if decreased levels of central nervous system docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a result of consuming an n-3-deficient diet, had an effect on learning- and memory-related behaviors in adult male rats. Females were reared on an n-3-deficient or n-3-adequate diet beginning at 21 d of life. Their male pups, the F2 generation, were weaned to the diet of the dam and tested at 9-12 wk of age. An olfactory-based discrimination and Morris water maze task were used to assess performance. Whole brain was collected after the behavioral experiments and central nervous system fatty acid content was analyzed in olfactory bulb total lipid extracts. F2 generation male rats consuming the n-3-deficient diet had an 82% decrease in DHA compared to rats consuming the n-3-adequate diet. The n-3-deficient animals made significantly more total errors in a 7-problem, 2-odor discrimination task compared to the n-3-adequate group. Furthermore, the escape latency in the Morris water maze task was significantly longer for the n-3-deficient rats compared to the n-3-adequate rats. These results indicate that rats with decreased DHA levels in the central nervous system perform poorer in these tasks compared to rats with higher DHA levels and suggest the presence of learning deficits in these animals.

Abstract
Members of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor family (M1-M5) have central roles in the regulation of many fundamental physiological functions. Identifying the specific receptor subtype(s) that mediate the diverse muscarinic actions of acetylcholine is of considerable therapeutic interest, but has proved difficult primarily because of a lack of subtype-selective ligands. Here we show that mice deficient in the M3 muscarinic receptor (M3R-/- mice) display a significant decrease in food intake, reduced body weight and peripheral fat deposits, and very low levels of serum leptin and insulin. Paradoxically, hypothalamic messenger RNA levels of melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), which are normally upregulated in fasted animals leading to an increase in food intake, are significantly reduced in M3R-/- mice. Intra-cerebroventricular injection studies show that an agouti-related peptide analogue lacked orexigenic (appetite-stimulating) activity in M3R-/- mice. However, M3R-/- mice remained responsive to the orexigenic effects of MCH. Our data indicate that there may be a cholinergic pathway that involves M3-receptor-mediated facilitation of food intake at a site downstream of the hypothalamic leptin/melanocortin system and upstream of the MCH system.

Abstract
The effects of aged garlic extract (AGE) on lipid peroxidative damage and the deformability of erythrocytes were evaluated in rats. The deformability of erythrocytes was measured using the micropore filtration method. AGE significantly prevented the decrease of erythrocyte deformability induced by lipid peroxidation in a dose-dependent manner. The addition of AGE significantly inhibited an increase in thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and hemolysis rate and prevented the loss of intraerythrocytic ATP and 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG) in oxidized erythrocytes. Moreover, AGE significantly suppressed not only the hemolysis rate induced by peroxidation but also hemolysis due to nonperoxidation. These results suggest the possibility that AGE improves microcirculation and rheological blood properties and preserves the structure and function of erythrocytes not only through an antioxidant process, but also via the glycolysis pathway and membrane stabilization of erythrocytes.

Abstract
The loss of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from the retina or brain has been associated with a loss in nervous-system function in experimental animals, as well as in human infants fed vegetable oil-based formulas. The reversibility of the loss of DHA and the compensation by an increase in the n-6 docosapentaenoic acid (DPAn-6) was studied in young adult rats. Long-Evans rats were subjected to a very low level of n-3 fatty acids through two generations. The F2 generation, n-3-deficient animals at 7 weeks of age were provided a repletion diet containing both alpha-linolenate and DHA. A separate group of F2 generation rats had been maintained on an n-3-adequate diet of the same composition. Tissues from the brain, retina, liver, and serum were collected on weeks 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 from both groups of animals. The concentrations of DHA, DPAn-6, and other fatty acids were determined and the rate of recovery and length of time needed to complete DHA recovery were determined for each tissue. The DHA level in the brain at 1 and 2 weeks after diet reversal was only partially recovered, rising to approximately 20% and 35%, respectively, of the n-3-adequate group level. Full recovery was not obtained until 8 weeks after initiation of the repletion diet. Although the initial rate of retinal DHA accretion was greater than that of brain DHA, the half-time for DHA recovery was only marginally greater. On the other hand, the levels of DHA in the serum and liver were approximately 90% and 100% replaced, respectively, within 2 weeks of diet reversal. A consideration of the total amounts and time courses of DHA repleted in the nervous system compared with the liver and circulation suggests that transport-related processes may limit the rate of DHA repletion in the retina and brain.-- Moriguchi, T., J.

Abstract
High-dose therapy with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (HDT/PBSCT) was performed as one aspect of front-line therapy in patients with poor-risk aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (high-intermediate/high risk) according to the age-adjusted international prognostic index (aaIPI). Twenty-nine patients were enrolled in this study between November 1994 and March 1999. CHOP + etoposide (CHOP-E) was used as an initial chemotherapy and as a chemotherapy agent for the purpose of cell harvesting. Peripheral blood stem cells were harvested from 17 patients, and HDT with CEC (carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide)/PBSCT was performed in 11 patients. Eighteen patients dropped out, including five for whom CHOP-E therapy was ineffective and 5 who did not give consent for cell harvesting or HDT/PBSCT. CHOP-E therapy produced complete remission (CR) in 15 out of 26 patients (58%) after discounting the 3 who were ineligible among the 29 who were initially enrolled. The median observation period after PBSCT in the 11 patients who underwent HDT/PBSCT was 25 months (3 to 50 months), and the 3-year disease-free survival rate was 73%. No serious complications associated with the transplantation were observed. We were able to confirm the feasibility and safety of HDT/PBSCT as one form of front-line therapy for aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in patients under 60 years of age.

Abstract
In a case of hypervascular metastatic liver tumor, the vascularity of primary focus, pancreatic carcinoma was hypovascular. Based on the imaging findings, we thought before the operation that the two lesions were double cancers. Histological examination showed that the stromal volume of metastatic tumorous tissue was richer than that of the primary focus. It was suggested that the difference in the stromal volume was related to the difference of the vascularity. Some foctors originating in stromal cells might be involved in angiogenesis.

Abstract
This study examined the effect of S:-allylcysteine (SAC), a major thioallyl compound found in aged garlic extract, on the memory deficit and age-related changes of senescence-accelerated mice. Senescence-accelerated prone P8 mice fed a diet supplemented with 40 mg SAC/kg diet for 8 mo had a significantly attenuated decrease in the conditioned avoidance response compared with those not given SAC. In the elevated plus-maze test using senescence-accelerated prone P10 mice, the percentage of time spent on the open arm was greater compared with the senescence-resistant control mice. Chronic dietary treatment with 40 mg SAC/kg diet decreased the time in the open arm in senescence-accelerated prone P10 mice. These studies suggest that diet supplementation with SAC may reduce age-related learning disabilities and cognitive disorders in senescence-accelerated mice.

Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a long chain n-3 fatty acid, is present in high concentrations in the central nervous system. Although the role that DHA may play in neural function is not well understood, infants fed formulas containing low levels of n-3 fatty acids have decreased visual acuity and neurodevelopmental test scores. The present experiment assessed whether dietary manipulations that decrease the concentration of DHA in the brain interfered with olfactory-based learning. We fed rats a diet that provided adequate n-3 fatty acids or a diet that was deficient in n-3 fatty acids for two generations. The second generation n-3-deficient group had 81% less brain DHA (82% less in olfactory bulb) compared to the n-3-adequate group and made significantly more errors in a series of olfactory-cued, 2-odor discrimination tasks compared to the adequate group. These results suggest that lower levels of central nervous system DHA lead to poorer performance in a series of simple odor discrimination tasks.

Abstract
We have analyzed very small amounts of human lung cancerous tissues directly by a Fourier transform infrared microscopy (FT-IR-MC). The corrected peak heights (H1045 and H1467) obtained from the bands at 1045 and 1467 cm(-1) due to glycogen and cholesterol were chosen for a quantitative evaluation of the malignancy. We found that the H1045/H1467 ratio is an exceptionally useful factor for discrimination of the cancerous tissues from the noncancerous tissues. If the H1045/H1467 ratio from the measured spectrum is larger than 1.4, we can say with confidence that the tissue contains squamous cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma at least partially. Furthermore, we carried out the microscopic mapping of the tissues containing both cancerous and noncancerous sections, demonstrating that the color map reflects small changes in the spatial distribution of cancer cells in the tissues. The present method may also be applicable to analysis of other cancers, such as colorectal cancerous tissues in which glycogen level has a critical factor for their malignancy. In addition, since FT-IR-MC costs relatively little and does not require a special operator training for collecting and analyzing the spectra, it seems to be perhaps the apparatus best suited to clinical usage, especially in rather small hospitals.

Abstract
This paper describes the design and synthesis of a new type of aminoacyl-adenylate analogue (aa-AMPN) having an N-acyl phosphoramidate linkage where the oxygen atom of the mixed anhydride bond of aminoacyl-adenylate (aa-AMP) is replaced by an amino group. This new type of aa-AMP analogue is expected to be useful as material for studies on the recognition mechanism of the aminoacylation of tRNA and other biochemical reactions. The condensation of phosphoramidite derivatives of carboxamides with nucleoside derivatives failed, because the activated phosphoramidite derivatives reacted with not only the hydroxyl groups but also another reactive species. An alternative approach was examined by the reaction of 5'-O-phosphoramidite adenosine derivatives with carboxamide derivatives. The TBTr and TSE groups were chosen for protection of the amino group of amino acid amides and the phosphate group, respectively. Detailed studies revealed that the use of 5-(3,5-dinitrophenyl)-1H-tetrazole as an activating catalyst of phosphoramidites resulted in rapid condensation within 10 min to give fully protected aa-AMPN derivatives. No side reaction occurred. Deprotection of these products via a two-step procedure gave aa-AMPN derivatives in good yields. It also turned out that aa-AMPNs thus obtained are stable under both acidic and basic conditions, such as 0.1 M HCl (pH 1.0) and 0.1 M NaOH (pH 13.0).

Abstract
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an n-3 fatty acid, is rapidly deposited during the period of rapid brain development. The influence of n-3 fatty acid deficiency on learning performance in adult rats over two generations was investigated. Rats were fed either an n-3 fatty acid-adequate (n-3 Adq) or -deficient (n-3 Def) diet for three generations (F1-F3). Levels of total brain n-3 fatty acids were reduced in the n-3 Def group by 83 and 87% in the F2 and F3 generations, respectively. In the Morris water maze, the n-3 Def group showed a longer escape latency and delayed acquisition of this task compared with the n-3 Adq group in both generations. The acquisition and memory levels of the n-3 Def group in the F3 generation seemed to be lower than that of the F2 generation. The 22:5n-6/22:6n-3 ratio in the frontal cortex and dams' milk was markedly increased in the n-3 Def group, and this ratio was significantly higher in the F3 generation compared with the F2 generation. These results suggest that learning and cognitive behavior are related to brain DHA status, which, in turn, is related to the levels of the milk/dietary n-3 fatty acids.

Abstract
A 25-year-old woman suffered a massive deep vein thrombus in her left common iliac vein extending to the inferior vena cava after an abdominal cesarean section. The massive and floating inferior vena cava thrombus was considered to pose a high risk of pulmonary thromboembolism. After placement of a temporary inferior vena cava filter via the left brachial vein, thrombolytic therapy and anticoagulation therapy were instituted. The filter successfully prevented pulmonary thromboembolism during thrombolytic therapy. This patient was confined to bed because the filter moved vertically with left shoulder joint abduction. Although a temporary inferior vena cava filter is very useful for the prevention of pulmonary thromboembolism in a patient with deep vein thrombus, the appropriate range of activity for such a patient needs careful consideration.
