Abstract
A novel regularized elastic net regression model was developed to predict processing factor (PF) for pesticide residues, which represents a change in the residue levels during food processing. The PF values for tomato juice, wet pomace and dry pomace in the evaluations and reports published by the Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues significantly correlated with the physicochemical properties of pesticides, and subsequently the correlation was observed in the present tomato processing study. The elastic net regression model predicted the PF values using the physicochemical properties as predictor variables for both training and test data within a 2-fold range for 80-100% of the pesticides tested in the tomato processing study while overcoming multicollinearity. These results suggest that the PF values are predictable at a certain degree of accuracy from the unique sets of physicochemical properties of pesticides using the developed model based on a processing study with representative pesticides.

Abstract
An ultrapure deep-blue multi-resonance-induced thermally activated delayed fluorescence material (DOB2-DABNA-A) is designed and synthesized. Benefiting from a fully resonating extended helical π-conjugated system, this compound has a small ΔEST value of 3.6 meV and sufficient spin-orbit coupling to exhibit a high-rate constant for reverse intersystem crossing (kRISC = 1.1 × 106 s-1). Furthermore, an organic light-emitting diode employing DOB2-DABNA-A as an emitter is fabricated; it exhibits ultrapure deep-blue emission at 452 nm with a small full width at half maximum of 24 nm, corresponding to Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.145, 0.049). The high kRISC value reduces the efficiency roll-off, resulting in a high external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 21.6% at 1000 cd m-2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Imeglimin is a new anti-diabetic drug which promotes insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells and reduces insulin resistance in insulin target tissues. However, there have been no reports examining the possible anti-atherosclerotic effects of imeglimin. In this study, we investigated the possible anti-atherosclerotic effects of imeglimin using atherosclerosis model ApoE KO mice treated with streptozotocin (STZ). METHODS ApoE KO mice were divided into three groups: the first group was a normoglycemic group without injecting STZ (non-DM group, n = 10). In the second group, mice were injected with STZ and treated with 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) (control group, n = 12). In the third group, mice were injected with STZ and treated with imeglimin (200 mg/kg, twice daily oral gavage, n = 12). We observed the mice in the three groups from 10 to 18 weeks of age. Plaque formation in aortic arch and expression levels of various vascular factors in abdominal aorta were evaluated for each group. RESULTS Imeglimin showed favorable effects on the development of plaque formation in the aortic arch in STZ-induced hyperglycemic ApoE KO mice which was independent of glycemic and lipid control. Migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and infiltration of macrophage were observed in atherosclerotic lesions in STZ-induced hyperglycemic ApoE KO mice, however, which were markedly reduced by imeglimin treatment. In addition, imeglimin reduced oxidative stress, inflammation and inflammasome in hyperglycemic ApoE KO mice. Expression levels of macrophage makers were also significantly reduced by imeglimin treatment. CONCLUSIONS Imeglimin exerts favorable effects on the development of plaque formation and progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Polypharmacy, common in patients with diabetes, may cause adverse drug reactions. The number of antidiabetic and non-antidiabetic drugs prescribed to patients in different age groups remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the number and class of antidiabetics and non-antidiabetics prescribed to Japanese patients with diabetes, stratified by age for reducing polypharmacy. This cross-sectional study examined all prescriptions of patients prescribed antidiabetics at 257 pharmacies of Matsumotokiyoshi Holdings in Japan from May 2018 to March 2019. Total prescription numbers including antidiabetic drugs were 263,915 in this study. Mean numbers of antidiabetic drugs per prescription were 1.71, 2.17, and 1.52 in the patient age groups of 10-19, 50-59, and 90-99 years, respectively. Count of antidiabetics was not related to age. However, the mean total number of drugs prescribed increased with age, which was 2.22 and 7.99 in the age groups of 10-19 and 90-99 years, respectively. The linear regression coefficient (b) according to age was 0.07 (p < 0.001) for 10-99 years. The mean non-antidiabetic number of agents prescribed increased with age among 10-99 years (b = 0.07, p < 0.001). Among outpatients treated for diabetes, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (29%) and antihypertensive, β-blocking and renin-angiotensin system blocking drugs (32%) were the most prescribed antidiabetics and non-antidiabetics in all ages, respectively. The number of prescribed antidiabetic agents did not increase with age, whereas the total and non-antidiabetic numbers of medications prescribed increased linearly. For reduction of polypharmacy in older people with diabetes, we need to focus on non-antidiabetics.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is widely believed to be linked to poorer outcomes in inpatient rehabilitation. This study aimed to assess the impact of sarcopenia on functional outcomes and dietary intake during hospitalization in adults undergoing convalescent rehabilitation. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis at a single rehabilitation institution. The Asian Working Group Consensus Criteria for Sarcopenia was used to diagnose. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score was used at hospital discharge to measure the primary functional outcome. Energy and protein intakes during hospitalization were calculated as part of the nutritional assessment. There were 126 patients in the research (median age, 73 yr;54% women). Stroke (n = 73;53.4% sarcopenia) and musculoskeletal disorders (n = 53;56.6% sarcopenia) were among the admission diagnoses. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the FIM total score at discharge was modestly associated with sarcopenia only in stroke patients (? = 0.1872, P = 0.09), as well as significantly and independently associated with protein intake during admission only in stroke patients (? = 0.3217, P < 0.05). In hospitalized stroke patients undergoing convalescent therapy, sarcopenia is related to lower functional results. Early identification of sarcopenia and treatment with rehabilitation nutrition should be implemented in this population. J. Med. Invest. 70 : 457-463, August, 2023.

Abstract
Gibberellic acid (GA3) is commonly used as a plant growth regulator in many food crops owing to its essential signaling functions during plant growth and development. In Japan, a threshold for administrative action for GA3 content of 0.3 mg/kg applies in produce in which maximum residue limits have not been established. Although the threshold is based on previous studies, the GA3 concentrations in individual foods are still unknown. Thus, we surveyed the concentrations of GA3 in banana, cherry, and kiwi fruit on the Japanese market. We developed and validated a method for the analysis of GA3 using solid-phase extraction and LC-MS/MS in accordance with accepted criteria of trueness, repeatability, and selectivity. The limits of detection and of quantification were determined as 0.005 and 0.05 mg/kg, respectively, in all fruits. Concentrations of GA3 did not exceed 0.3 mg/kg regardless of ripeness, suggesting the reasonability of the current regulation of GA3 in banana, cherry, and kiwi fruit. These findings can support prompt administrative action on these fruits, contributing to the regulation of GA3 in Japan.

Abstract
Ultra-narrowband blue multi-resonance-induced thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) materials (V-DABNA and V-DABNA-F), consisting of three DABNA subunits possessing phenyl or 2,6-difluorophenyl substituents on the peripheral nitrogen atoms are synthesized by one-shot triple borylation. Benefiting from the inductive effect of fluorine atoms, the emission maximum of V-DABNA-F (464 nm) is blueshifted from that of the parent V-DABNA (481 nm), while maintaining a small full width at half maximum (FWHM, 16 nm) and a high rate constant for reverse intersystem crossing (6.5 × 105 s-1 ). The organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using V-DABNA and V-DABNA-F as emitters are fabricated by vapor deposition and exhibit blue emission at 483 and 468 nm with small FWHMs of 17 and 15 nm, corresponding to Commission Internationale d'Éclairage coordinates of (0.09, 0.27) and (0.12, 0.10), respectively. Both devices achieve high external quantum efficiencies of 26.2% and 26.6% at the maximum with minimum efficiency roll-offs of 0.9% and 3.2%, respectively, even at 1000 cd m-2 , which are record-setting values for blue MR-TADF OLEDs.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein, the encoded product of the MDR1 / ABCB1 gene in humans, is expressed in numerous tissues including brain capillary endothelial cells and restricts the distribution of xenobiotics into the brain as an efflux pump. Although a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the MDR1 gene have been identified, the influence of the nonsynonymous 2677G>T/A single nucleotide polymorphism on P-glycoprotein at the blood-brain barrier has remained unclear. In the present study, we developed a novel P-glycoprotein humanized mouse line carrying the 2677G>T mutation by utilizing a mouse artificial chromosome vector constructed by genetic engineering technology and we evaluated the influence of 2677G>T on the expression and function of P-glycoprotein at the blood-brain barrier in vivo . The results of this study showed that the introduction of the 2677G>T mutation does not alter the expression levels of P-glycoprotein protein in the brain capillary fraction. On the other hand, the brain penetration of verapamil, a representative substrate of P-glycoprotein, was increased by the introduction of the 2677G>T mutation. These results suggested that the 2677G>T single nucleotide polymorphism may attenuate the function of P-glycoprotein, resulting in increased brain penetration of P-glycoprotein substrates, without altering the expression levels of P-glycoprotein protein in the blood-brain barrier. This mutant mouse line is a useful model for elucidating the influence of an MDR1 gene single nucleotide polymorphism on the expression and function of P-glycoprotein at the blood-brain barrier.

Abstract
The stiffness of a plant cell in response to an applied force is determined not only by the elasticity of the cell wall but also by turgor pressure and cell geometry, which affect the tension of the cell wall. Although stiffness has been investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Young’s modulus of the cell wall has occasionally been estimated using the contact-stress theory (Hertz theory), the existence of tension has made the study of stiffness more complex. Elastic shell theory has been proposed as an alternative method; however, the estimation of elasticity remains ambiguous. Here, we used finite element method simulations to verify the formula of the elastic shell theory for onion (Allium cepa) cells. We applied the formula and simulations to successfully quantify the turgor pressure and elasticity of a cell in the plane direction using the cell curvature and apparent stiffness measured by AFM. We conclude that tension resulting from turgor pressure regulates cell stiffness, which can be modified by a slight adjustment of turgor pressure in the order of 0.1 MPa. This theoretical analysis reveals a path for understanding forces inherent in plant cells.

Abstract
The phage lytic spectrum is usually limited to only a few strains of the same bacterial species that it can lyse. Bacterial strains in a species are commonly classified into a sequence type (ST) using the multilocus sequence typing (MLST) approach in clinical molecular epidemiology. The aim of this study is to determine whether the phage lytic spectrum is associated with STs. An MLST analysis of 11 extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli clinical isolates revealed that the most common isolates belonged to ST73 or ST131, with four isolates each. Phages were isolated from a sewage sample using various E. coli strains as hosts. The relationship between phage lytic spectra with ESBL-producing E. coli ST73 and/or ST131 isolates and STs was evaluated using Fisher's exact test. The lytic spectra of phages were found to be significantly dependent on ST classification of ST73 or 131, suggesting that a phage lysing an isolate belonging to a particular ST could lyse other isolates belonging to the same ST. Furthermore, we successfully isolated wide-host-range phages lysing all clinical isolates in this study belonging to two clinically important ST types (ST73 and ST131).

Abstract
An expanded heterohelicene consisting of three BN2-embedded [4]helicene subunits (V-DABNA-Mes) has been synthesized by one-shot triple borylation. The key to success is the excessive use of boron tribromide in an autoclave. Based on the multiple resonance effect of three boron and six nitrogen atoms, V-DABNA-Mes exhibited a narrowband sky-blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence with a full width at half-maximum of 16 nm. The resonating π-extension minimized the singlet-triplet energy gap and enabled rapid reverse intersystem crossing with a rate constant of 4.4 × 105 s-1. The solution-processed organic light-emitting diode device, employed as an emitter, exhibited a narrowband emission at 480 nm with a high external quantum efficiency of 22.9%.

Abstract
Effects of combination therapy of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor on β-cells are still unclear, although combination agent of these two drugs has become common in clinical practice. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the effects of DPP-4 inhibitor and/or SGLT2 inhibitor on β-cell mass and function and compared their effects between in an early and advanced phase of diabetes. We used 7-week-old db/db mice as an early phase and 16-week-old mice as an advanced phase and treated them for 2 weeks with oral administration of linagliptin, empagliflozin, linagliptin + empagliflozin (L + E group), and 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose (Cont group). Blood glucose levels in Empa and L + E group were significantly lower than Cont group after treatment. In addition, β-cell mass in L + E group was significantly larger than Cont group only in an early phase, accompanied by increased Ki67-positive β-cell ratio. In isolated islets, mRNA expression levels of insulin and its transcription factors were all significantly higher only in L + E group in an early phase. Furthermore, mRNA expression levels related to β-cell differentiation and proliferation were significantly increased only in L + E group in an early phase. In conclusion, combination of DPP-4 inhibitor and SGLT2 inhibitor exerts more beneficial effects on β-cell mass and function, especially in an early phase of diabetes rather than an advanced phase.

Abstract
Background:Potential efficacy and favorable safety profiles of tocilizumab (TCZ) have been demonstrated in patients with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) [1, 2]. However, clinical outcomes after dose-reduction or discontinuation of TCZ due to an improvement of skin thickness remain unclear.Objectives:To investigate the clinical outcomes after dose-reduction or discontinuation of TCZ in patients with dcSSc in a real-world setting.Methods:This is a single-center, retrospective, observational study using a database of consecutive SSc patients who visited our center between April 2014 and October 2020. For this study, we selected eligible patients from the database based on the following criteria: patients who (i) fulfilled the ACR/EULAR classification criteria, (ii) were classified as having dcSSc, (iii) had been treated with TCZ for at least 6 months, and (iv) were follow-up >6 months after TCZ introduction. Clinical information including demographic and clinical characteristics at TCZ introduction; dosing, administration route, and adherence of TCZ; and serial clinical parameters (modified Rondan total skin thickness score [mRSS], and percent predicted forced vital capacity [%FVC]), safety profiles, and outcomes after TCZ introduction regardless of TCZ continuation were extracted from the database.Results:Of 404 patients enrolled in the database, 13 dcSSc patients were eligible for this study. Baseline characteristics included a mean age of 51 ± 9 years, 85% female, disease duration of 27 ± 24 months, and mRSS of 19.5 ± 10.6. Seven patients (54%) had HRCT-confirmed ILD at baseline, and 9 (69%) were positive for anti-topoisomerase I antibody. Two (14%) and 11 (85%) were on mycophenolate mofetil and low-dose prednisolone (7.2 ± 6.0 mg/day), respectively. Seven patients (54%) each had active skin disease and elevated inflammatory markers defined in the phase III clinical trial [2], while only 4 (31%) fulfilled the inclusion criteria. TCZ was initially administered intravenously (8 mg/kg every 4 weeks) in 8 patients and subcutaneously in 5 (162 mg every 2 weeks in 4 and every week in one). At one year, mRSS was improved from 20.9 ± 11.4 to 10.7 ± 8.9 in 11 patients (p = 0.007), and %FVC was stable in 7 patients with ILD (76.8 ± 15.0 to 78.6 ± 16.1). During the observation period of 60.4 ± 26.7 months, 4 patients were treated with a stable dose of TCZ, while TCZ dose was reduced and/or discontinued in 9. Four of them discontinued TCZ due to adverse events (n = 2; acute lung injury and phlegmon) or prominent improvement of skin thickening (n = 2). Of 9 patients with dose reduction/discontinuation of TCZ, 4 patients who discontinued TCZ (n = 3) or received dose reduction of TCZ (n = 1) experienced a recurrence of progressive skin thickening together with inflammatory complications, including edematous induration of the skin, progression of ILD, polyarthritis, and/or pericarditis with increased inflammatory markers. The interval between dose-reduction/discontinuation of TCZ and clinical worsening ranged from 2 to 11 months. These manifestations were promptly improved by dose-escalation or resumption of TCZ in all patients except one who experienced progressive ILD and died of respiratory failure 27 months later.Conclusion:In dcSSc patients who experienced improvement of skin thickness during treatment with TCZ, dose-reduction or discontinuation of TCZ may result in a recurrence of the disease. Randomized comparative studies are necessary to examine optimal timing for dose-reduction or discontinuation of TCZ in dcSSc patients after improvement of skin thickness.References:[1]Khanna, D., et al., Safety and efficacy of subcutaneous tocilizumab in systemic sclerosis: results from the open-label period of a phase II randomised controlled trial (faSScinate).

Abstract
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) can measure the mechanical properties of plant tissue at the cellular level, but for in situ observations, the sample must be held in place on a rigid support and it is difficult to obtain accurate data for living plants without inhibiting their growth. To investigate the dynamics of root cell stiffness during seedling growth, we circumvented these problems by using an array of glass micropillars as a support to hold an Arabidopsis thaliana root for AFM measurements without inhibiting root growth. The root elongated in the gaps between the pillars and was supported by the pillars. The AFM cantilever could contact the root for repeated measurements over the course of root growth. The elasticity of the root epidermal cells was used as an index of the stiffness. By contrast, we were not able to reliably observe roots on a smooth glass substrate because it was difficult to retain contact between the root and the cantilever without the support of the pillars. Using adhesive to fix the root on the smooth glass plane overcame this issue, but prevented root growth. The glass micropillar support allowed reproducible measurement of the spatial and temporal changes in root cell elasticity, making it possible to perform detailed AFM observations of the dynamics of root cell stiffness.

Abstract
Topological magnetic structure possesses topological stability characteristics that make it robust against disturbances which are a big advantage for data processing or storage devices of spintronics; nonetheless, such characteristics have been rarely clarified. This paper focused on the formation of chiral soliton lattice (CSL), a one-dimensional topological magnetic structure, and provides a discussion of its topological stability and influence of thermal fluctuation. Herein, CSL responses against change of temperature and applied magnetic field were investigated via small-angle resonant soft X-ray scattering in chromium niobium sulfide ([Formula: see text]). CSL transformation relative to the applied magnetic field demonstrated a clear agreement with the theoretical prediction of the sine-Gordon model. Further, there were apparent differences in the process of chiral soliton creation and annihilation, discussed from the viewpoint of competing between thermal fluctuation and the topological metastability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the main causes of death in psychiatric patients is cardiovascular diseases which are closely related with lifestyle-related diseases. Psychiatric disorders include schizophrenia and mood disorders, whose symptoms and treatment medicines are different, suggesting that they might have different metabolic disorders. Thus, we studied the differences of lifestyle-related diseases between schizophrenia and mood disorders in Japan. METHODS This cross-sectional study was performed from 2015 to 2017. Study participants were 189 Japanese hospitalized patients (144 schizophrenia group, 45 mood disorders group) in the department of psychiatry at Kohnodai hospital. We examined physical disorders, metabolic status of glucose and lipid, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and brain magnetic resonance imaging. We compared these data between schizophrenia and mood disorders groups using analysis of covariance or logistic regression analysis. In comparisons between inpatients with schizophrenia or mood disorders group and the standard, we quoted 'The National Health and Nutrition Survey in Japan 2015' by Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare as the standard. RESULTS eGFR and prevalence of smoking were significantly lower in patients with mood disorder group than those with schizophrenia group by adjustment for age. In comparisons between patients with schizophrenia group or mood disorders group and each standard, the ratio of silent brain infarction (SBI) and cerebral infarction were significantly high in both groups. Schizophrenia group showed significantly higher prevalence of diabetes, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterolemia, metabolic syndrome and smoking than the standard. Mood disorders group had significantly high prevalence of low HDL-cholesterolemia compared with the standard. Fasting blood glucose and HbA1c were significantly higher in schizophrenia group and female mood disorders group than the standard. Female mood disorders group had significantly decreased eGFR with increased ratio of eGFR < 60 ml/min than the standard. CONCLUSIONS Participants of both groups had increased ratio of SBI and cerebral infarction, accompanied with glucose and lipid disorders. Compared with schizophrenia group, mood disorders group showed significantly low eGFR and prevalence of smoking.

Abstract
It is well known that schizophrenic patients have high incidence of metabolic syndrome and life-style related diseases. There are reports that the rates of these diseases are increased more in outpatients than inpatients, but are also reports that the rates are not different between both patient groups. These differences might be related to the length of hospitalization. Hospitalization of Japanese psychiatric patients is about 300 days, much longer than western countries (below 50 days). Therefore, we investigated lipid and glucose metabolism of schizophrenic patients transferred from hospitalization to outpatients at Kohnodai hospital with a mean of 80 days hospitalization period to clarify metabolic characteristics in Japanese patients. Study participants were 144 schizophrenia inpatients and 109 outpatients at Kohnodai Hospital. These 109 outpatients were followed for approximately 2 years, without changes of administrated drugs, and from 144 inpatients. Data from outpatients were obtained at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after their discharge. Outpatients 2 years after discharge had significantly higher levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride and non-high density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol than inpatients, accompanied with an increase of body weight. Serum HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels had no significant difference between both groups. These lipids and glucose levels also showed the same tendency in outpatients 0.5 year and 1 year after discharge as those after 2 years. We found that schizophrenic patients in our study appeared to have changes of lipid metabolism 2 years after their discharge, but no significant changes of glucose metabolism, such as FPG and HbA1c.

Introduction
The etiology of chest pain in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is diverse and includes coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as HCM-specific causes. Myocardial bridging (MB) has been associated with HCM, chest pain, and accelerated atherosclerosis. To investigate differences in the presence of MB and CAD, we compared HCM patients with age-, gender- and CAD pre-test probability (PTP)-matched outpatients presenting with chest pain.
Methods
We studied 84 HCM patients who underwent cardiac computed tomography and compared these with 168 matched controls (age 54 ± 11 years, 70% men, PTP 12% [5%–32%]). MB, calcium score, plaque morphology and presence and extent of CAD were assessed for each patient. Linear mixed models were used to assess differences between cases and controls.
Results
Differences between HCM patients and controls are described in the table. In summary, MB was more often seen in HCM patients (50% vs. 25%, p < 0.001), who were also more likely to have >1 segment affected (14% vs. 2%, p < 0.05). In the HCM group, MB was associated with pathogenic mutation status. Calcium score and the presence of obstructive CAD were similar in both groups (9 [0-225] vs. 4 [0-82] and 18% vs. 19%; p > 0.05 for both).
Conclusion
MB was twice as prevalent in the HCM group. However, in a matched analysis, the prevalence and extent of CAD was equal among patients with and without HCM. These finding illustrate that despite a higher prevalence of MB, the prevalence of CAD is similar between groups, also demonstrating satisfactory performance of pre-test risk prediction in HCM patients.

Background/Introduction: Tolvaptan, a vasopression V2-receptor antagonist, is effective for congestion in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), and hyponatremia in patients with CHF and SIADH. But, this drug is not readily soluble in water and not suited for development as an injection. OPC-61815, a prodrug of tolvaptan having improved water solubility, is suitable for intravenous administration.
Purpose
The phase-II clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03254108) was conducted to investigate the dose for intravenous administration of OPC-61815 achieving tolvaptan exposure equivalent to that for oral administration of tolvaptan 15-mg tablet in CHF patients.
Methods
This study was a multicenter, a double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group comparison clinical pharmacology trial. Sixty patients aged between 20 and 85 years with CHF with volume overload despite the use of conventional diuretics were randomly assigned to four treatment cohorts to receive OPC-61815 at doses of 2, 4, 8, 16 mg (i.v.) or tolvaptan at 15 mg (p.o.). Both drugs were administered once a day for 5 days. The primary endpoint was to assess the dose of OPC-61815 equivalent to tolvaptan at 15 mg using Cmax and AUC24h values after the first administration. Pharmacodynamics (urine volume, urine osmolality, serum electrolyte concentration, biomarkers), efficacy (body weight change, congestive symptoms) and safety were also evaluated.
Results
The mean Cmax and AUC of the metabolite tolvaptan increased dose-dependently following single intravenous administration of OPC-61815 at 2, 4, 8, and 16 mg. Tolvaptan exposure (Cmax and AUC24h) on Day 1 following single intravenous administration of OPC-61815 at 16 mg was the closest and similar to that following single administration of tolvaptan 15-mg tablet. OPC-61815 increased urine volume from baseline, leading to decrease in body weight and improvement of lower limb edema. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was 54.2% (26/48 subjects) in the OPC-61815 2 to 16-mg, and 83.3% (10/12 subjects) in the tolvaptan 15-mg groups. No clinically relevant changes from baseline were found in laboratory parameters, vital signs, or ECG findings.
Conclusions
Tolvaptan exposure on Day 1 following single intravenous administration of OPC-61815 at 16 mg was the most similar to that following single administration of tolvaptan 15-mg tablet. There was no marked difference in tolerability between OPC-61815 at 16 mg and tolvaptan 15-mg tablet, and no clinically significant problems were observed.

Abstract
A 60s woman was found to have wall thickening of the gastric body and gallbladder in the follow-up CT scan after surgery for cervical carcinoma. An endoscopic examination revealed a type 3 tumor, located in the lesser curvature of the middle stomach. Abdominal CT showed lymphadenopathy at the lesser curvature. An enhanced thickened wall was also noted in the fundus of the gallbladder. FDG-PET/CT showed negative uptake in the gallbladder lesion. Distal gastrectomy and cholecystectomy were performed under the preoperative diagnosis of gastric cancer and adenomyomatosis. Histopathologically, the gastric lesion was a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, SE, ly1c, v1b. Moreover, the gallbladder lesion was a poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma proliferating mainly in the muscularis propria and subserosa, which had similar histological features as those in the adenocarcinoma part of gastric cancer. From these findings, the patient was diagnosed with gallbladder metastasis from gastric cancer. Gastric cancer rarely metastasizes to the gallbladder, and only 16 cases have been reported in Japan. We present the clinicopathological features with a review of the literature.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) accurately rules out coronary artery disease (CAD), but has a limited ability to predict hemodynamically significant CAD. Implementing on-site computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) could improve the clinical value and efficiency of cardiac CT in the diagnostic work-up of patients with stable angina.
Purpose
To determine the impact of on-site CT-FFR on diagnostic effectiveness, management strategy and downstream invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in patients with suspected CAD.
Methods
196 patients (59.1±9.6 years, 47% women) with suspected CAD underwent a CCTA in the CRESCENT I and II trials. On-site CT-FFR analysis was performed in all patients with at least one ≥50% stenosis on CCTA (N=53). We assessed the effect of adding CT-FFR analysis to CCTA in terms of 1) diagnostic effectiveness, i.e. the number of additional tests required to determine the final diagnosis; 2) reclassification of the initial management strategy; 3) ICA efficiency, i.e. ICA rate without ≥50% CAD.
Results
CT-FFR was calculated in 42/53 (79%) of the eligible patients as it could not be calculated in patients with suspected coronary total occlusion (N=7), severe coronary calcification (N=2), severe CT artefacts (N=1) or missing CT images (N=1). CT-FFR ≤0.80 was present in 27/196 (14%) patients, including 8/196 (4%) patients with high-risk ischemia (CT-FFR ≤0.80 in all three vessels, left main or proximal left anterior descending coronary artery). The final diagnosis was achieved with CT-FFR in an additional 30/196 (15%) patients compared to CT alone (p<0.0001), and rendered 42/56 (75%) of additional tests unnecessary (p<0.0001). The initial management strategy was reclassified in 30/196 patients (15%, p<0.0001); 24/196 (12%) patients were reclassified to optimal medical therapy and 6/196 (3%) patients were reclassified directly to ICA including 4/8 (50%) patients with high-risk CAD on ICA. CT-FFR would result in 6/32 (19%, p=0.012) ICA cancellations in which none of the patients had high-risk CAD. The rate of ICA without ≥50% stenosis would decrease from 22% (7/32) to 11% (3/27) (p=0.012).
Conclusion
Implementation of CT-FFR has the potential for improved diagnostic effectiveness. Functional reclassification of CAD provides more efficient ICA referral in patients with suspected CAD compared to CTA alone.

Abstract
The receptors of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is a well-known neurotransmitter, are expressed in the anterior-to-mid neural tube at an early stage of Xenopus development, but there has been no report on the role of GABA in the presumptive central nervous system. Therefore, we tried to reveal the function of GABA for Xenopus early embryogenesis. We first confirmed that the region expressing a gene encoding glutamate decarboxylase 1 (gad1), which is an enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-glutamate to GABA, overlapped with that of several genes encoding GABA receptors (gabr) in the neural tube. Metabolome analysis of culture medium of dorsal tail-bud explants containing the neural tube region of tail-bud stage embryos also revealed that GABA was expressed at this stage. Then, we examined the treatment of pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and picrotoxin (PTX), which are known as inhibitors of GABA receptors (GABA-R), on the early stages of Xenopus embryogenesis, and found that axis elongation in the tail-bud was inhibited by both treatments, and these phenotypic effects were rescued by co-treatment with GABA. Moreover, our spatial- and temporal-specific inhibitor treatments revealed that the gabr- and gad1-overlapped region, which presents at the anterior-to-mid neural tube during the tail-bud stages, was much more sensitive to PTZ and thus caused severe inhibition of axis elongation. Taken together, our results indicate that the small ligand molecule GABA functions as a regulator to induce the axis elongation event in the tail-bud during early embryogenesis via direct stimulation of the neural tube and indirect stimulation of the surrounding area.

Abstract
P-Glycoprotein (P-gp), encoded by the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene in humans and by Mdr1a and Mdr1b genes in rodents, is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette transporters. Since P-gp is constitutively expressed in numerous tissues and exhibits a broad specificity in substrate recognition, it can play a crucial role in limiting the absorption and distribution of xenobiotics by decreasing their intracellular accumulation. The expression of P-gp is regulated by various nuclear receptors such as pregnane X receptor (PXR). Although the characterization of P-gp induction by PXR ligands is a crucial goal for predicting pharmacokinetics of drugs, findings regarding the induction of P-gp by PXR ligands in vivo are still controversial. In this study, we examined the effect of pregnenolone 16α-carbonitrile (PCN), a murine PXR ligand, on the expression of Mdr1a/1b mRNA and P-gp protein in the intestine, brain and liver of mice. The results showed that PCN increased the expression of both Mdr1a/1b mRNA and P-gp protein in the intestine and the brain. The present study provided the first evidence that P-gp is inducible by PCN in the large intestine. The results also showed that P-gp protein was induced by PCN in the cortex but not in the whole brain. On the other hand, PCN increased the expression of Mdr1a/1b mRNA in the liver, although no increase was observed in the expression of P-gp protein. These results suggested different effect of PCN on the expression of P-gp protein in the intestine, brain and liver of mice.

Abstract
P-glycoprotein (P-gp), encoded by the MDR1 gene in humans and by the Mdr1a/1b genes in rodents, is expressed in numerous tissues and performs as an efflux pump to limit the distribution and absorption of many drugs. Owing to species differences of P-gp between humans and rodents, it is difficult to predict the impact of P-gp on pharmacokinetics and the tissue distribution of P-gp substrates in humans from the results of animal experiments. Therefore, we generated a novel P-gp humanized mouse model by using a mouse artificial chromosome (MAC) vector [designated human MDR1-MAC (hMDR1-MAC) mice]. The results showed that hMDR1 mRNA was expressed in various tissues of hMDR1-MAC mice. Furthermore, the expression of human P-gp was detected in the brain capillary fraction and plasma membrane fraction of intestinal epithelial cells isolated from hMDR1-MAC mice, although the expression levels of intestinal P-gp were extremely low. Thus, we evaluated the function of human P-gp at the blood-brain barrier of hMDR1-MAC mice. The brain-to-plasma ratios of P-gp substrates in hMDR1-MAC mice were much lower than those in Mdr1a/1b-knockout mice, and the brain-to-plasma ratio of paclitaxel was significantly increased by pretreatment with a P-gp inhibitor in hMDR1-MAC mice. These results indicated that the hMDR1-MAC mice are the first P-gp humanized mice expressing functional human P-gp at the blood-brain barrier. This mouse is a promising model with which to evaluate species differences of P-gp between humans and mice in vivo and to estimate the brain distribution of drugs in humans while taking into account species differences of P-gp.

Abstract
The spin states of Co^{3+} ions in perovskite-type LaCoO_{3}, governed by the complex interplay between the electron-lattice interactions and the strong electron correlations, still remain controversial due to the lack of experimental techniques which can directly detect them. In this Letter, we revealed the tensile-strain dependence of spin states, i.e., the ratio of the high- and low-spin states, in epitaxial thin films and a bulk crystal of LaCoO_{3} via resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering. A tensile strain as small as 1.0% was found to realize different spin states from that in the bulk.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the influence of negative pressure of the pharyngeal airway on mandibular retraction during inspiration in children with nasal obstruction using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Sixty-two children were divided into Classes I, II (mandibular retrusion) and III (mandibular protrusion) malocclusion groups. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography data were used to reconstruct three-dimensional shapes of the nasal and pharyngeal airways. Airflow pressure was simulated using CFD to calculate nasal resistance and pharyngeal airway pressure during inspiration and expiration. RESULTS Nasal resistance of the Class II group was significantly higher than that of the other two groups, and oropharyngeal airway inspiration pressure in the Class II (-247.64 Pa) group was larger than that in the Class I (-43.51 Pa) and Class III (-31.81 Pa) groups (P<.001). The oropharyngeal airway inspiration-expiration pressure difference in the Class II (-27.38 Pa) group was larger than that in the Class I (-5.17 Pa) and Class III (0.68 Pa) groups (P=.006). CONCLUSION Large negative inspiratory pharyngeal airway pressure due to nasal obstruction in children with Class II malocclusion may be related to their retrognathia.

Abstract
Rifampicin (RIF), a typical ligand of human pregnane X receptor (PXR), powerfully induces the expression of cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) in humans. Although it is thought that RIF is not a ligand of rodent PXR, treatment with high-dose RIF (e.g. more than 20 mg/kg) increases the expression of CYP3A in the mouse liver. In this study, we investigated whether the induction of CYP3A by high-dose RIF in the mouse liver is mediated via indirect activation of mouse PXR (mPXR). The results showed that high-dose RIF increased the expression of CYP3A11 and other PXR-target genes in the liver of wild-type mice but not PXR-knockout mice. However, the results of reporter gene and ligand-dependent assembly assays showed that RIF does not activate mPXR in a ligand-dependent manner. In addition, high-dose RIF stimulated nuclear accumulation of mPXR in the mouse liver, and geldanamycin and okadaic acid attenuated the induction of Cyp3a11 and other PXR-target genes in primary hepatocytes, suggesting that high-dose RIF triggers nuclear translocation of mPXR. In conclusion, the present study suggests that high-dose RIF stimulates nuclear translocation of mPXR in the liver of mice by indirect activation, resulting in the transactivation of Cyp3a11 and other PXR-target genes.

Abstract
An octogenarian man complaining of bloody stool was referred to our hospital. A digital examination, abdominal enhanced CT and endoscopy led to a diagnosis of intussusception due to rectosigmoid colon cancer, but he was not suffering from bowel obstruction. An elective laparoscopic Hartmann's operation was performed after reduction by transanal insertion of a circular sizer. It may be difficult to reduce an intussusception induced by rectal cancer. We report this case with a review of the relevant literature.

Abstract
We present a case in which we used a thoracoscopic approach for resection of multiple esophageal carcinomas diagnosed 33 years after surgery for esophageal achalasia. A 68-year-old Japanese man had been diagnosed with esophageal achalasia and underwent surgical treatment 33 years earlier. He was examined at our hospital for annual routine checkup in which upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed a "0-IIb+IIa" lesion in the middle esophagus. Iodine staining revealed multiple irregularly shaped iodine-unstained areas, the diagnosis of which was esophageal carcinoma. Thoracoscopic subtotal esophagectomy was performed. Esophageal carcinoma may occur many years after surgery for esophageal achalasia, even if the passage symptoms have improved. So, long-term periodic follow-up is necessary for detection of carcinoma at an earlier stage.

Abstract
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) is a mechanism by which unfolded proteins that accumulate in the ER are transported to the cytosol for ubiquitin–proteasome-mediated degradation. Ubiquitin ligases (E3s) are a group of enzymes responsible for substrate selectivity and ubiquitin chain formation. The purpose of this study was to identify novel E3s involved in ERAD. Thirty-seven candidate genes were selected by searches for proteins with RING-finger motifs and transmembrane regions, which are the major features of ERAD E3s. We performed gene expression profiling for the identified E3s in human and mouse tissues. Several genes were specifically or selectively expressed in both tissues; the expression of four genes (RNFT1, RNF185, CGRRF1 and RNF19B) was significantly upregulated by ER stress. To determine the involvement of the ER stress-responsive genes in ERAD, we investigated their ER localisation, in vitro autoubiquitination activity and ER stress resistance. All were partially localised to the ER, whereas CGRRF1 did not possess E3 activity. RNFT1 and RNF185, but not CGRRF1 and RNF19B, exhibited significant resistance to ER stressor in an E3 activity-dependent manner. Thus, these genes are possible candidates for ERAD E3s.

Abstract
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are frequently prescribed to patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease; however, the number of bone fractures reportedly increased in these patients. Although PPIs have been shown to inhibit the bone resorption by osteoclasts, the effect of PPIs on skeletal metabolism remains controversial. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of the PPI rabeprazole on skeletal metabolism using gastrectomized rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: i) Sham-surgery (n=15); ii) total gastrectomy (TG) control (n=20); iii) TG plus rabeprazole (n=20); and iv) TG plus the bisphosphonate minodronic acid (n=20). Twenty-two weeks after TG, the rats were sacrificed, and bone mineral density (BMD), bone strength and markers for bone metabolism were measured. Compared with the control group (50.0±8.1%), the TG-induced decrease in BMD was significantly ameliorated in the rabeprazole group (56.5±7.5%) and the minodronic acid group (59.0±6.0%). However, rabeprazole did not improve bone strength. In conclusion, rabeprazole does not appear to exacerbate bone metabolic disorders in gastrectomized rats, but rather ameliorates the TG-induced BMD decrease.

Abstract
Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is involved in the transactivation of ABCB1 gene by rifampicin (RIF). However, we found that increase in ABCB1 mRNA by RIF was observed in LS180 cells but not in HepG2 cells. Since both cell lines expressed PXR equally, we hypothesized that a factor(s) other than PXR is responsible for PXR-mediated transactivation of the ABCB1 gene. Reporter activities of a distal enhancer module containing direct repeat 4 (DR4) motifs were increased by RIF in LS180 cells but not in HepG2 cells. Mutation of the DR4 motifs diminished the increase in reporter activities in LS180 cells. Gene subtraction showed that epithelial-specific ETS factor 3 (ESE-3) is a transcription factor enriched in LS180 cells compared to HepG2 cells. When ESE-3 and PXR were co-expressed in HepG2 cells, reporter activities were increased by RIF, which were completely abolished by mutation of DR4 motifs. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed specific binding of ESE-3 to the region containing the DR4 motifs of the ABCB1 gene. Finally, knock-down of ESE-3 in LS180 cells resulted in a decrease in the induction of ABCB1 mRNA. These results suggest that ESE-3 is a factor responsible for PXR-mediated transactivation of the ABCB1 gene by RIF in LS180 cells.

Abstract
Background There is growing evidence that the widespread use of Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) is prompting malaria vectors to shift their biting towards times and places where people are not protected, such as earlier in the evening and/or outdoors. It is uncertain whether these behavioural shifts are due to phenotypic plasticity and/or ecological changes within vector communities that favour more exophilic species, or involve genetic factors within vector species to limit their contact with LLINs. Possibly variation in the time and location of mosquito biting has a genetic basis, but as yet this phenomenon has received little investigation. Here we used a candidate gene approach to investigate whether polymorphisms in selected circadian clock genes could explain variation in the time and location of feeding (indoors versus outside) within a natural population of the major African malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis. Methods Host-seeking An. arabiensis were collected from two villages (Lupiro and Sagamaganga) in Tanzania by Human Landing Catch (HLC) technique. Mosquitoes were classified into phenotypes of “early” (7 pm–10 pm) or “late” biting (4 am –7 am), and host-seeking indoors or outdoors. In these samples we genotyped 34 coding SNPs in 8 clock genes (PER, TIM, CLK, CYC, PDP1, VRI, CRY1, and CRY2), and tested for associations between these SNPs and biting phenotypes. SNPs in 8 mitochondrial genes (ATP6, ATP8, COX1, COX2, COX3, ND3, ND5 and CYTB) were also genotyped to test population subdivision within An. arabiensis. Results The candidate clock genes exhibited polymorphism within An. arabiensis, but it was unrelated to variation in the timing and location of their biting activity. However, there was evidence of strong genetic structure within An. arabiensis populations in association with the TIM, which was unrelated to geographic distance. Substructure within An. arabiensis was also detected using mitochondrial markers. Conclusions The variable timing and location of biting in An. arabiensis could not be linked to candidate clock genes that are known to influence behaviour in other Diptera. This finding does not rule out the possibility of a genetic basis to biting behaviour in this malaria vector, but suggests these are complex phenotypes that require more intensive ecological, neuronal and genomic analyses to understand.

Abstract
Magnetic skyrmions, swirling nanometric spin textures, have been attracting increasing attention by virtue of their potential applications for future memory technology and their emergent electromagnetism. Despite a variety of theoretical proposals oriented towards skyrmion-based electronics (that is, skyrmionics), few experiments have succeeded in creating, deleting and transferring skyrmions, and the manipulation methodologies have thus far remained limited to electric, magnetic and thermal stimuli. Here, we demonstrate a new approach for skyrmion phase control based on a mechanical stress. By continuously scanning uniaxial stress at low temperatures, we can create and annihilate a skyrmion crystal in a prototypical chiral magnet MnSi. The critical stress is merely several tens of MPa, which is easily accessible using the tip of a conventional cantilever. The present results offer a new guideline even for single skyrmion control that requires neither electric nor magnetic biases and consumes extremely little energy. Chiral magnets can support particle-like magnetization textures called skyrmions which form in lattices and can be manipulated for potential device applications. Here, the authors demonstrate the controlled creation and annihilation of a skyrmion lattice in MnSi single crystals using mechanical stress.

Abstract
AIM To find significant parameters to characterise anterior mediastinal solid tumours in adults using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI), and combined 2-[(18)F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron-emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight histologically confirmed anterior mediastinal solid tumours in 48 patients (24 men, 24 women; age range 21-83 years, mean 50.7 years) were examined. The parameters analysed were maximal diameter, presence of capsule/septa on T2-weighted images, time-signal intensity curves (TICs), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and maximum standardised uptake value (SUVmax). Also examined was whether any differences between histological types could be seen in these parameters. In a validation study, 42 anterior mediastinal solid tumours in 42 patients were examined consecutively. RESULTS The washout pattern on TIC was seen only in thymic epithelial tumours (20/32). SUVmax of lymphoma (mean, 17.9), malignant germ cell tumours (14.2), and thymic carcinomas (15.6) were significantly higher than that of thymomas (6.1). The mean maximal diameter of thymic epithelial tumours was significantly smaller than that of lymphomas (p<0.01) and malignant germ cell tumours (p<0.05). The validation study also yielded high accuracy (38/42, 91%) in differentiation among the anterior mediastinal solid tumours. CONCLUSION The SUVmax, TIC pattern on DCE-MRI, and maximal diameter might be useful to differentiate anterior mediastinal solid tumours in adults.

Abstract
Chitosanolytic enzymes from Enterobacter sp. G-1 were immobilized on various carriers to continuously hydrolyze chitosan. Four different carriers were tested: FE-3901 (strong basic anion exchange resin, ionic binding), glutaraldehyde-treated FE-4612 (weak basic anion exchange resin, cross-linking), Chitopearl (chitosan beads), and alginate calcium. Glutaraldehyde-treated FE-4612 and Chitopearl immobilized more protein than the others. The enzyme immobilized on FE-3901 had the greatest activity. The activity of enzyme immobilized on FE-3901 decreased rapidly when exposed to a continuous flow of 1% chitosan. The enzyme immobilized with Chitopearl retained more than 50% of its original activity after 17 days, and the activity was fully restored by re-immobilization.
