Abstract
The patient was a male in his 60s who presented with obstructive jaundice and was diagnosed with pancreatic head cancer. He was referred to the Department of Surgery 2 months later due to prolonged jaundice and immediately underwent pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy with the diagnosis of resectable pancreatic cancer. Pathology showed pN1b (14/37), but 16b1 interaorticocaval was 0/1. The patient was then diagnosed with Stage ⅡB, R0. After completion of adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1, 1 year after surgery, CA19-9 was reelevated and PET/CT-positive enlarged lateroaortic lymph nodes and multiple nodules in both lungs were observed. The lymph nodes were also seen on preoperative CT, and the preoperative diagnosis was Stage Ⅳ. After insertion of an implantable central venous port, mFOLFIRINOX therapy was initiated. The patient had an anaphylactic reaction after 7 courses of L-OHP, and the treatment was continued without L-OHP. After 40 courses of mFOLFIRINOX therapy, the aortic lymph nodes reduced in size, PET results were negative, and the pulmonary nodules partially resolved. We report a case of a patient with Stage Ⅳ pancreatic head cancer who maintained PR for more than 1 year and 7 months after the initiation of mFOLFIRINOX therapy and survived for more than 2 years and 10 months since the initial diagnosis.

Abstract
We report a case of laparoscopic partial hepatectomy after nab-paclitaxel plus ramucirumab(nab-PTX plus RAM)combination therapy for postoperative liver recurrence of gastric cancer. The patient was a 50's man who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy, D2 lymph node dissection, and Billroth-I reconstruction for gastric cancer. The pathological findings were L, Gre, Post, Type 3, por>tub2, pT3N3a, M1(CY1), fStage Ⅳ. Postoperative chemotherapy with S-1 was performed. The CT examination 6 months after the operation revealed a total of 3 tumors(maximum diameter of 5×4 cm)in liver segments S6, 7, and 8. We started nab-PTX plus RAM combination therapy for liver metastases and performed laparoscopic partial hepatectomy when 12 courses of the treatment were completed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 7. Pathological results suggested that the tumor was exposed on the cut surface, and 6 courses of nab-PTX plus RAM combination therapy were administered postoperatively. The patient has been recurrence-free 12 months after the operation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Resection of lung metastasis in colorectal cancer leads to a good prognosis; therefore, surgical treatment for resectable metastases is recommended by the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum Guidelines for the treatment of colorectal cancer. In this study, we investigated the factors that affect the prognosis of resection of such lung cancers. RESULTS Outcomes of 23 cases of lung resection performed from 2000 to 2019 were investigated. The 5-year overall survival rate after lung resection was 55.5%, and the 5-year relapse-free survival rate after liver resection was 27.0%. Univariate analysis identified sex(p=0.024), tumor size(p=0.0129)and complications(p=0.0129)as prognostic factors, while multivariate analysis revealed sex(p=0.0278, relative risk=5.38)to be a prognostic factor. CONCLUSION In this study, sex was identified as a poor prognostic factor. Further evidence from cases is needed to ascertain the effects of other factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ABCD stratification [(combination of serum pepsinogen (PG) levels and titers of antibody (immunoglobulin G, IgG) against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)] is effective for the classification of individuals at risk of developing gastric cancer (GC). The Kita–Kyushu lung cancer antigen-1 (KK-LC-1) is a Cancer/Testis antigen frequently expressed in GC.
AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of KK-LC-1 and ABCD stratification in the diagnosis of GC.
METHODS We analyzed the gene expression of KK-LC-1 in surgical specimens obtained from GC tumors. The levels of serum PG I/PG II and IgG against H. pylori were measured. According to their serological status, the patients were classified into the four groups of the ABCD stratification.
RESULTS Of the 77 examined patients, 63 (81.8%) expressed KK-LC-1. The IgG titers of H. pylori and PG II were significantly higher in patients expressing KK-LC-1 than those measured in patients not expressing KK-LC-1 (P = 0.0289 and P = 0.0041, respectively). The expression of KK-LC-1 in group C [PG method (+)/H. pylori infection (+)] was as high as 93.9% high. KK-LC-1 was also detected in group A [-/-].
CONCLUSION The KK-LC-1 expression in GC was associated with H. pylori infection and atrophic status, so that, KK-LC-1 may be a useful marker for the diagnosis of GC.

Abstract
We report a case of a 61-year-old man who underwent open total gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection for gastric cancer. The pathological findings were suggestive of pT2N3M0, fStage ⅢA. S -1 was administered for 1 year post-surgery. One year and 9 months after the operation, an epigastralgia was found, and the PET-CT showed an increase of SUVmax 3.80 around the celiac artery. S -1 plus CDDP therapy was initiated. However, due to the occurrence of neutropenia, the therapy was changed to ramucirumab plus paclitaxel. After 20 courses of the same regimen, no PET-CT uptake was observed. We thus considered it cCR and discontinued further chemotherapy. The patient has been alive for 15 months without recurrence. By performing effective chemotherapy at an early stage, cCR could be observed after a secondary treatment. Therefore, longterm survival could be expected for post-operative recurrence of gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Kita-Kyushu lung cancer antigen-1 (KK-LC-1) is a known cancer/testis antigen. Our group has previously shown KK-LC-1 gene expression in gastric cancer. However, could not be detected the KK-LC-1 protein due to the lack of an appropriate antibody. Here, we assessed our original monoclonal antibody (Kmab34B3) and, using it, assessed the expression of KK-LC-1 in gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated an original monoclonal antibody against KK-LC-1 (Kmab34B3), and used this antibody to compare KK-LC-1 protein expression in tumour and non-tumour stomach cells from gastric cancer patients. RESULTS Kmab34B3 stained testicular germ cells, and tumour cells in nine out of 11 (82%) specimens. In non-tumorous areas, Kmab34B3 stained 13 out of 29 (45%) pyloric gland specimens. Furthermore, Kmab34B3 also stained intestinal metaplasia positive and negative areas. CONCLUSION Kmab34B3 was able to detect KK-LC-1 protein within tumour cells and the pyloric gland where the gene has been shown to be expressed. Therefore, it might be an attractive tool for detecting KK-LC-1 expression in precancerous and cancerous stomach cells.

Abstract
Complete visceral inversion occurs in 1/5,000 individuals. In 64%of cases, complete visceral inversion is complicated by the malformation of other organs. Careful attention is required when performing surgeries. In recent years, with the development of laparoscopic surgery, some cases of laparoscopic surgery with complete visceral inversion have been reported. Herein, we report a case of safely performed laparoscopic surgery for sigmoid colon cancer with complete visceral inversion along with a relevant discussion.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many reports show that denture adhesives improve the retention and stability of dentures. However, few randomized controlled trials have examined the effects of denture adhesives. OBJECTIVE This 10-center randomized controlled trial with parallel groups involving 200 edentulous patients wearing complete dentures aimed to evaluate the effects of short-term use of cream and powder denture adhesives. METHODS Patients were allocated into 2 cream- and powder-type adhesive groups and 1 control group. Intervention groups were treated with the 2 adhesives (1 each), and the control group received saline solution. Adhesive or control was applied to the denture-mucosal surface for 4 d, and data at baseline and after day 4 of intervention (i.e., 8 meals) were obtained. Patient satisfaction was evaluated with a 100-mm visual analog scale. Oral health-related quality of life was measured with the Japanese version of the Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous Patients. Perceived chewing ability was evaluated by a questionnaire regarding ease of chewing and swallowing food. Between-group comparisons were performed with Kruskal-Wallis tests with the Mann-Whitney U test adjusted by Bonferroni correction. Within-group comparisons of pre- and postintervention measurements were performed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Intention-to-treat analysis was also performed. RESULTS Between-group comparisons showed no significant differences for general satisfaction or Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous Patients. However, significant differences in satisfaction with various denture functions with cream- and powder-type adhesives were seen in pre- and postintervention comparisons (P < 0.05). Significant differences were also observed for perceived chewing ability of hard foods (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION These results suggest that although denture adhesives do not invariably improve denture function, they do affect subjective evaluations and possibly chewing of hard foods. Therefore, the effects of denture adhesive use are insufficient to resolve any fundamental dissatisfaction with dentures ( ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01712802 ). KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER STATEMENT The results of this study suggest that denture adhesives should be applied under certain conditions; however, an appropriate diagnosis is important before application. These practice-based data provide information to establish evidence-based guidelines for applying denture adhesives.

Abstract
Kita-Kyushu lung cancer antigen-1 (KK-LC-1) is a cancer/testis antigen (CTA) and predominant target for cancer immunotherapy. Our previous study indicated that KK-LC-1 was expressed in 82% of gastric cancers, and also in 79% of early stage of gastric cancers, with a correlation to Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. In addition, we found that KK-LC-1 was occasionally expressed at non-tumour sites of stomachs carrying tumours. Here, we investigated the characteristics of KK-LC-1 expression at non-tumour sites and the clinical utility of these phenomena. The gene expression of KK-LC-1 was detected at the non-tumour sites including pyloric glands. The most detectable corpus/gland subset had a KK-LC-1 expression rate of 77% in the pyloric gland of the lower corpus where H. pylori preferentially exists. KK-LC-1 expression rates were 67% or 32% with or without intestinal metaplasia, which also induced by H. pylori, respectively. Consequently, KK-LC-1 would be detected at the pre-cancerous condition of the stomach, and may be a useful marker to predict gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Our previous study indicated that Kita-kyushu lung cancer antigen-1 (KK-LC-1) is a cancer/testis antigen (CTA) expressed in 82% of gastric cancer cases. Here, we investigated the relationship between KK-LC-1 expression and Helicobacter pylori infection in Japanese patients with gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS We examined CTA expression in 25 surgical gastric cancer specimens and anti-H. pylori IgGs in the serum of each patient. RESULTS KK-LC-1 was expressed in 80% of tumor samples, markedly higher than melanoma antigen gene (MAGE)-A1, MAGE-A3, MAGE-A4, synovial sarcoma, X breakpoint 4 (SSX4) and New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma-1 (NY-ESO-1). Anti-H. pylori IgG titers from the KK-LC-1-positive patients were significantly higher (67.5±7.6) than those from KK-LC-1-negative patients (15.8±7.5, p<0.01) although there were no significant differences between patients positive and negative for MAGE-A1, -A3 and-A4, SSX4 and NY-ESO-1. CONCLUSION As far as we are aware, this is the first report of a correlation between a carcinogen and CTA expression in clinical samples. KK-LC-1 was frequently expressed in gastric cancer caused by H. pylori infection. The risk diagnosis for gastric cancer might be more accurate if KK-LC-1 expression status were also considered.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although chemotherapy is the main treatment for recurrent colorectal cancer, the utility of radiotherapy as a local treatment has been widely reported. We performed chemoradiotherapy with S-1 for cases with recurrence after surgery, and the outcomes are reported herein. MATERIALS AND METHODS Chemoradiotherapy with S-1 was performed in 4 cases. S-1 was administered for 2 weeks during the irradiation period, and the off period provided was 1 week. RESULTS X-ray irradiation was performed in 2 cases and proton beam irradiation in the other 2. The progression free periods of the 2 cases receiving proton beam irradiation were 31 months and 36 months. In contrast, the progression free periods of the 2 cases given X-ray irradiation were 24 months and 21 months. DISCUSSION It is known that S-1 not only achieves a high anticancer effect via dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase(DPD)inhibition, which is a major metabolic pathway of 5-FU, but also increases the radiation susceptibility of malignancies. S-1 is regarded as an ideal anticancer agent when used in combination with radiation therapy. Since the local control achieved in our 4 cases was good, chemoradiotherapy with S-1 was considered to be a useful treatment.

Abstract
AIM To assess cancer-testis antigens (CTAs) expression in gastric cancer patients and examined their associations with clinicopathological factors.
METHODS Eighty-three gastric cancer patients were evaluated in this study. Gastric cancer specimens were evaluated for the gene expression of CTAs, Kitakyushu lung cancer antigen-1 (KK-LC-1), melanoma antigen (MAGE)-A1, MAGE-A3 and New York esophageal cancer-1 (NY-ESO-1), by reverse transcription PCR. Clinicopathological background information, such as gender, age, tumor size, macroscopic type, tumor histology, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, and pathological stage, was obtained. Statistical comparisons between the expression of each CTA and each clinicopathological background were performed using the χ2 test.
RESULTS The expression rates of KK-LC-1, MAGE-A1, MAGE-A3, and NY-ESO-1 were 79.5%, 32.5%, 39.8%, and 15.7%, respectively. In early stage gastric cancer specimens, the expression of KK-LC-1 was 79.4%, which is comparable to the 79.6% observed in advanced stage specimens. The expression of KK-LC-1 was not significantly associated with clinicopathological factors, while there were considerable differences in the expression rates of MAGE-A1 and MAGE-A3 with vs without lymphatic invasion (MAGE-A1, 39.3% vs 13.6%, P = 0.034; MAGE-A3, 47.5% vs 18.2%, P = 0.022) and/or vascular invasion (MAGE-A1, 41.5% vs 16.7%, P = 0.028; MAGE-A3, 49.1% vs 23.3%, P = 0.035) and, particularly, MAGE-A3, in patients with early vs advanced stage (36.5% vs 49.0%, P = 0.044), respectively. Patients expressing MAGE-A3 and NY-ESO-1 were older than those not expressing MAGE-A3 and NY-ESO-1 (MAGE-A3, 73.7 ± 7.1 vs 67.4 ± 12.3, P = 0.009; NY-ESO-1, 75.5 ± 7.2 vs 68.8 ± 11.2, P = 0.042).
CONCLUSION The KK-LC-1 expression rate was high even in patients with stage I cancer, suggesting that KK-LC-1 is a useful biomarker for early diagnosis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Resection of liver metastasis from colorectal cancer is known to improve prognosis; therefore, surgical treatment is recommended for resectable metastases in the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum Guidelines for the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer. In this study, we investigated factors that affect the prognosis of resection of such metastatic liver tumors. RESULTS Thirty-three cases of liver resection performed during the period from 1998 to 2017 were investigated. The 5-year overall survival rate after liver resection was 47.3%, and the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate after liver resection was 29.9%. Univariate analysis identified CA19-9(p=0.02)and operative procedure(p=0.0046)as prognostic factors, while multivariate analysis revealed operative procedure(p=0.03)to be a prognostic factor. When prognosis was examined in terms of operative procedure(ie, lobectomy, segmental resection, or partial resection), the prognosis of patients undergoing lobectomy was significantly poorer compared to those undergoing segmental resection(p=0.0092, RR=28.94)and partial resection(p=0.0092, RR=25.37). CONCLUSION In this study, operative procedure was identified as a poor prognostic factor. The prognosis of liver metastasis requiring lobectomy is considered to be poor. Further accumulation of cases is needed to investigate the effects of other factors in the choice of operative procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatic angiomyolipomas are a rare, benign group of mesenchymal tumors in the liver. Hepatic angiomyolipoma is sometimes misdiagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma, and there is the possibility of a malignant transformation. Hence, the accurate diagnosis of this disorder is necessary. CASE PRESENTATION A 64-year-old Japanese man was observed to have a space-occupying lesion of 15-mm diameter in the liver during a follow-up examination for a previously resected cecal carcinoma. He underwent lateral segmentectomy of the liver with a provisional diagnosis of hepatic metastatic recurrence of the carcinoma based on gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and diffusion-weighted imaging. CONCLUSIONS We have explored the combination of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and histological examination to confirm our diagnosis of hepatic angiomyolipoma comprising an intimate mixture of numerous abnormal blood vessels, adipocytes, and epithelioid spindle cells of various sizes. Immunohistochemical examination revealed characteristic pathological findings associated with positive qualitative immunoreactions for human melanoma black 45 and desmin. Electron microscopic findings revealed the presence of melanosomes in the epithelioid cells. Diffusion-weighted imaging provides a more accurate diagnostic image with the characteristic macroscopic appearance of hepatic angiomyolipoma. Through immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy, we also show that this benign tumor comprises tissue elements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The tumor-associated antigen Kita-Kyushu lung cancer antigen-1 (KK-LC-1) has been reported as not being expressed in normal tissues, except for the testis, and in the setting of non-small cell lung cancer. The present study demonstrated that KK-LC-1 is expressed in gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the expression of KK-LC-1 and cancer/testis antigens (CTAs) in surgical specimens of 49 gastric carcinomas. The expression of KK-LC-1 and CTAs was assessed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS KK-LC-1 expression was observed in gastric carcinomas. The number of lesions with expression of KK-LC-1, Melanoma antigen gene encoding-A1 (MAGE-A1), MAGE-A3 and New York Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma-1 (NY-ESO-1) was 40 (81.6%), 17 (34.7%), 22 (44.9%) and 8 (16.3%) out of the 49 specimens, respectively. CONCLUSION KK-LC-1 should be categorized as a CTA. The frequency of KK-LC-1 expression was higher than that of the other CTAs. KK-LC-1 might be a useful target for immunotherapy and in diagnosis of gastric cancer.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the molecular and clinical characteristics of the largest series of Japanese patients with glucokinase maturity-onset diabetes of the young (GCK-MODY), and to find any features specific to Asian people. METHODS We enrolled 78 Japanese patients with GCK-MODY from 41 families (55 probands diagnosed at the age of 0-14 years and their 23 adult family members). Mutations were identified by direct sequencing or multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification of all exons of the GCK gene. Detailed clinical and laboratory data were collected on the probands using questionnaires, which were sent to the treating physicians. Data on current clinical status and HbA1c levels were also collected from adult patients. RESULTS A total of 35 different mutations were identified, of which seven were novel. Fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels of the probands were ≤9.3 mmol/l and ≤56 mmol/mol (7.3%), respectively, and there was considerable variation in their BMI percentiles (0.4-96.2). In total, 25% of the probands had elevated homeostatic assessment of insulin resistance values, and 58.3% of these had evidence of concomitant Type 2 diabetes in their family. The HbA1c levels for adults were slightly higher, up to 61 mmol/mol (7.8%). The incidence of microvascular complications was low. Out of these 78 people with GCK-MODY and 40 additional family members with hyperglycaemia whose genetic status was unknown, only one had diabetic nephropathy. CONCLUSIONS The molecular and clinical features of GCK-MODY in Japanese people are similar to those of other ethnic populations; however, making a diagnosis of GCK-MODY was more challenging in patients with signs of insulin resistance.

Abstract
Precise electrical manipulation of nanoscale defects such as vacancy nano-filaments is highly desired for the multi-level control of ReRAM. In this paper we present a systematic investigation on the pulse-train operation scheme for reliable multi-level control of conductive filament evolution. By applying the pulse-train scheme to a 3 bit per cell HfO2 ReRAM, the relative standard deviations of resistance levels are improved up to 80% compared to the single-pulse scheme. The observed exponential relationship between the saturated resistance and the pulse amplitude provides evidence for the gap-formation model of the filament-rupture process.

Abstract
A case was a 40-year-old woman. Her right breast was presented with massive bleeding ulcer and fixed with a pectoral muscle. Diagnosis of Stage IIIb breast cancer( T4b, N1, M0) showed a high inflammatory response and severe anemia. Palliative surgery was difficult because of hemostasis, and her general health also was in poor condition. The pathological diagnosis was squamous cell cancer. We underwent a total of 30 Gy radiation emergency hemostasisose. After radiation and chemotherapy, the lesion was undergone a radical surgery, and was reduced in size significantly. It was diagnosed as squamous cell cancer, which was more sensitive to general radiation so neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy was effective.

Abstract
Only a few cases of various glomerulonephropathies have been reported in patients with polycythemia vera. We report the case of a 72-year-old female with polycythemia vera in whom renal biopsy examination showed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN)-like lesion and glomerular expression of plasmalemmal vesicle-associated protein-1 (PV-1), a marker of glomerular capillary remodeling after injury. Prior to admission to our hospital for nephrotic syndrome, she had received hydroxyurea and phlebotomy. On admission, she was hypertensive with pretibial edema, hepatosplenomegaly, massive proteinuria (6.14 g/day), low serum albumin (2.9 g/dl), high fibrinogen, fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products and thrombomodulin levels, but with normal serum creatinine and complement levels. Microscopic examination of a renal biopsy demonstrated MPGN-like features with double contour and mesangial interposition. Electron microscopy showed subendothelial deposits, platelets attached to glomerular capillary walls and fibrin deposition. Immunofluorescence study identified IgM deposition along part of the capillary wall and mesangium. CD42b-positive platelets and megakaryocytes were detected in glomerular capillaries, accompanied with increased expression of platelet-derived growth factor receptor b and thrombomodulin in the mesangium and glomerular capillary, respectively. PV-1 was expressed along the glomerular capillary. Anti-platelet and anticoagulant combination therapy, together with the use of anti-hypertensive agents and hydroxyurea, resulted in improvement of the nephrotic syndrome. The findings suggested that activated platelets, enhanced coagulation state and endothelial damage may contribute to glomerulonephropathy associated with polycythemia vera.

Abstract
We theoretically compare transport properties of the Fano-Kondo effect with those of the Fano effect, focusing on the effect of a two-level state in a triple quantum dot (QD) system. We analyze shot noise characteristics in the Fano-Kondo region at zero temperature, and discuss the effect of strong electronic correlation in QDs. We found that the modulation of the Fano dip is strongly affected by the on-site Coulomb interaction in QDs, and stronger Coulomb interaction (Fano-Kondo case) induces larger noise.

Abstract
Bacterial shoot blight (BSB) disease, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. theae, is a major bacterial disease of tea plants in Japan. BSB mainly occurs in the low-temperature season, and lesion formation by P. syringae pv. theae is enhanced by both low temperature and the presence of ice nucleation-active Xanthomonas campestris (INAX), which catalyzes ice formation at -2 to -4 degrees C and is frequently co-isolated with P. syringae pv. theae from tea plants. Low temperature is thus the most important environmental factor influencing the incidence of BSB; however, the effects of low temperature on infection of the host by P. syringae pv. theae and of environmental controls in fields on the occurrence of the disease are poorly understood. In this study, we show that ice formation on tea leaves by INAX enhanced P. syringae pv. theae invasion into leaf tissue. The natural incidence of BSB in the field was closely related to early autumn frost. Frost protection in late autumn, which prevented ice formation on tea plants, significantly decreased the incidence of BSB, and frost protection combined with bactericide application held the incidence under the economic threshold level. Our data indicate that environmental control in the field based on microbial interactions in the host offers a new strategy for plant disease control.

Abstract
Extensive apoptotic oocyte reduction occurs during fetal ovarian development. The regulatory pathways responsible for oocyte selection to programmed cell death are, however, poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential involvement of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and its death receptors TRAIL-R1/DR4 and TRAIL-R2/DR5 and decoy receptors TRAIL-R3/DcR1 and TRAIL-R4/DcR2 in the apoptotic process characterizing human fetal and adult ovaries. For this purpose, in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry were applied to human fetal and adult ovarian samples to study the mRNA and protein expression of TRAIL pathway components, and a human granulosa cell tumor-derived cell line (KGN) was used to elucidate functional effects of TRAIL on apoptosis. TRAIL was expressed in human fetal ovary from the 11th week until term. The pro-apoptotic TRAIL-R2/DR5 and the anti-apoptotic TRAIL-R4/DcR2 were also expressed in human ovaries throughout the fetal period. Among the different ovarian cell types, these TRAIL pathway components were mainly localized in the oocytes, and their expression increased towards term. Expression of TRAIL-R1/DR4 and TRAIL-R3/DcR1 was negligible in all of the fetal ovaries studied. Adult ovaries expressed TRAIL, TRAIL-R2/DR5, TRAIL-R3/DcR1 and TRAIL-R4/DcR2 in granulosa cells and oocytes of small primary/secondary follicles as well as in granulosa and theca cells of more developed antral follicles. In KGN cells, TRAIL efficiently induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner, and this was blocked by a caspase inhibitor. The results indicate a role of the TRAIL pathway components in the regulation of granulosa cell apoptosis in in vitro and suggest that these factors may have a role in regulating ovarian apoptosis also in vivo.

Abstract
The present study aimed to examine the effect of custom tray designs on the displacement of mobile tooth and local impression pressures during the impression procedure, using partially edentulous simulation models with six anterior teeth containing a mobile tooth prepared in previous studies. The custom trays were designed by altering the thickness of the respective spaces on the labial and lingual sides of the remaining tooth arch. In previous studies, the mobile tooth was displaced in the labial direction and local impression pressures of the mobile tooth were greater against the lingual side than the labial side for all custom tray designs. Furthermore, the custom trays perforated with holes on the lingual side were effective to reduce mobile tooth displacement, labial and lingual impression pressures against the mobile tooth, and the differences between them. Therefore, the present study was performed focusing on the labial and lingual thickness of spaces in custom tray designs. It was found that mobile tooth displacement, labial and lingual impression pressures against the mobile teeth and their differences were less in trays with spaces>3.0 mm thick on both the labial and lingual sides, but markedly greater in trays with a 1.5 mm-thick space on the labial side. These results indicate that the thickness of spaces on the labial side in the tray should not be reduced to prevent mobile tooth displacement.

Abstract
A 61-year-old male presented with advanced gastric cancer with lymph node swelling around the root of superior mesenteric artery lymph nodes and invasion of pancreas. We thought a complete resection would be difficult, so he was given neo-adjuvant chemotherapy in combination with S-11 20 mg/body/day (3 weeks administration and 1 week rest) and paclitaxel (PTX) 80 mg/m(2) (day 1, 8, 15). After 2 courses of this neo-adjuvant chemotherapy, the tumor and lymph node swelling decreased in size. Total gastrectomy, Roux-en Y and D1+beta type nodal dissection were performed. Intraoperative findings included tumor exposure on the serous membrane and enlarged lymph nodes on the lesser curvature; however, no marked pancreatic invasion was observed and the lymph nodes had become scarred. The changes with neo-adjuvant chemotherapy were judged to be grade 2. After the operation, there was no side effect, though he received the same chemotherapy as an outpatient in three courses. Five years passed from the first medical examination. The patient remains alive, and the neo-adjuvant chemotherapy proved effective.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase inhibition by ouabain suppresses ATP production by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) and impairs glucose-induced insulin secretion from pancreatic islets. To clarify the signal-transducing function of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase in decreasing ATP production by the generation of ROS in pancreatic islets, the involvement of Src was examined. In addition, the significance of Src activation in diabetic islets was examined. METHODS Isolated islets from Wistar rats and diabetic Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats (a model for diabetes) were used. ROS was measured by 5-(and 6)-chloromethyl-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein fluorescence using dispersed islet cells. After lysates were immunoprecipitated by anti-Src antibody, immunoblotting was performed. RESULTS Ouabain caused a rapid Tyr(418) phosphorylation, indicating activation of Src in the presence of high glucose. The specific Src inhibitor 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2) restored the ouabain-induced decrease in ATP content and the increase in ROS production. Both PP2 and ROS scavenger restored the impaired insulin release and impaired ATP elevation in GK islets, but had no such effect in control islets. PP2 reduced the high glucose-induced increase in ROS generation in GK islet cells but had no effect on that in control islet cells. Moreover, ouabain had no effect on ATP content and ROS production in the presence of high glucose in GK islets. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION These results indicate that Src plays a role in the signal-transducing function of Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, in which ROS generation decreases ATP production in control islets. Moreover, ROS generated by Src activation plays an important role in impaired glucose-induced insulin secretion in GK islets, in which Src is endogenously activated independently of ouabain.

Abstract
Traumatic posterior dislocation of the shoulder is frequently missed because of its rarity and the absence of characteristic symptoms. Several signs should be emphasised: an overlap of the humeral head and glenoid rim in a true anteroposterior view and the light-bulb sign in the anteroposterior view. To make an accurate and early diagnosis, use of multidirectional radiographs combined with computed tomography is recommended. Closed reduction was successfully performed under general anaesthesia using the DePalma method with slight modification--the lever principle--by pushing the medial side of the upper arm laterally to adduct the shoulder as far as possible. The dynamics of the lever principle make it a safer and more effective method of achieving a closed reduction of a posterior dislocation of the shoulder than the conventional method of solely pushing the humeral head anteriorly, especially in patients with locking of the glenohumeral joint and impression fractures.

Abstract
Corosolic acid (CRA) is a substance extracted from Lagerstroemia speciosa L. and has been reported to have biological activities in in vitro and experimental animal studies. In this study, 31 subjects were orally administered 10mg CRA or a placebo, on different occasions, in a capsule 5min before the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in a double-blind and cross-over design. Nineteen subjects had diabetes, seven had impaired glucose tolerance, one had impaired fasting glucose, and four had normal glucose tolerance according to the 1998 WHO criteria. There were no significant differences in plasma glucose levels before and 30min after the administration. CRA treatment subjects showed lower glucose levels from 60min until 120min and reached statistical significance at 90min. In this study, we have shown for the first time that CRA has a lowering effect on postchallenge plasma glucose levels in vivo in humans.
