Abstract
Samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu were brought to Earth by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. We analyzed 17 Ryugu samples measuring 1 to 8 millimeters. Carbon dioxide-bearing water inclusions are present within a pyrrhotite crystal, indicating that Ryugu's parent asteroid formed in the outer Solar System. The samples contain low abundances of materials that formed at high temperatures, such as chondrules and calcium- and aluminum-rich inclusions. The samples are rich in phyllosilicates and carbonates, which formed through aqueous alteration reactions at low temperature, high pH, and water/rock ratios of <1 (by mass). Less altered fragments contain olivine, pyroxene, amorphous silicates, calcite, and phosphide. Numerical simulations, based on the mineralogical and physical properties of the samples, indicate that Ryugu's parent body formed ~2 million years after the beginning of Solar System formation.

Abstract
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft investigated the C-type (carbonaceous) asteroid (162173) Ryugu. The mission performed two landing operations to collect samples of surface and subsurface material, the latter exposed by an artificial impact. We present images of the second touchdown site, finding that ejecta from the impact crater was present at the sample location. Surface pebbles at both landing sites show morphological variations ranging from rugged to smooth, similar to Ryugu's boulders, and shapes from quasi-spherical to flattened. The samples were returned to Earth on 6 December 2020. We describe the morphology of >5 grams of returned pebbles and sand. Their diverse color, shape, and structure are consistent with the observed materials of Ryugu; we conclude that they are a representative sample of the asteroid.

Abstract
Vancomycin is associated with nephrotoxicity; however, the influence of the number of combined nephrotoxic agents on the incidence of vancomycin nephrotoxicity has not been clarified. We investigated patient backgrounds in 148 inpatients who received vancomycin treatment. The patients were divided into nephrotoxicity (n=35) and non-nephrotoxicity (n=113) groups. A comparison of the patient backgrounds in the two groups revealed significant differences in weight, changes in serum creatinine before vancomycin administration, blood urea nitrogen to serum creatinine ratio, length of vancomycin therapy, vancomycin trough concentration, and number of combined nephrotoxic agents. Multiple logistic regression analysis using these six factors as autonomous variables showed that the highest vancomycin trough concentration (odds ratio, 1.080; 95% confidence interval, 1.030-1.140; p = 0.003) and the number of combined nephrotoxic agents (odds ratio, 1.590; 95% confidence interval, 1.120-2.260; p = 0.010) were significantly related to nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
The low efficacy of human rotavirus (HRV) vaccines in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) remains a major challenge for global health. Protein-calorie malnutrition (kwashiorkor) affects the gut microbiota and compromises immune development, leading to environmental enteropathy, vaccine failures, and increased susceptibility to enteric diseases in young children. Relationship between diet and reduced vaccine efficacy in developing countries is not well established; therefore, we investigated the interconnections between the host-microbiota-nutrition-HRV vaccine using HRV-vaccinated, human infant faecal microbiota (HIFM)-transplanted neonatal gnotobiotic pigs fed with a protein deficient or sufficient diet. The microbiota from faecal, intestinal (duodenum, ileum, jejunum, and colon), and systemic tissue (liver, spleen, and mesenteric lymph node [MLN]) samples was analysed before and after HRV challenge using MiSeq 16S rRNA sequencing. Overall, microbiota from deficient fed HIFM pigs displayed, compared to the sufficient group, significantly higher Shannon index, especially in the faeces and lower intestines; higher level of Proteus and Enterococcus, and lower level of Bifidobacterium, Clostridium, and Streptococcus in the three types of samples collected (P<0.05); and higher unique operational taxonomic units (OTUs), especially in the systemic tissues. Further, the multivariate analysis between microbiota and immunologic data showed that 38 OTUs at the genus level correlated (r2≤0.5 or ≥-0.5; P<0.05) with at least one host immune response parameter (regulatory [Tregs and transforming growth factor-β], effectors [interferon (IFN)-γ+ CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, IFN-γ and interleukin (IL)-12], and inflammatory [tumour necrosis factor-α, IL-17 and IL-22]) and with opposite trends between diet groups. Differences described above were increased after HRV challenge. We demonstrated that a protein deficient diet affects the composition of the gut microbiota and those changes may further correlate with immune responses induced by HRV and perturbed by the deficient diet. Thus, our findings suggest that the reduced efficacy of HRV vaccine observed in Gn pig model is in part attributed to the altered microbiota composition.

Abstract
Background Fatigue is a common adverse event during lenvatinib treatment in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. One mechanism contributing to development of fatigue might involve abnormal adenosine triphosphate synthesis that is caused by carnitine deficiency. To address this possibility, we examined the relationship between carnitine levels and fatigue during lenvatinib treatment. Methods This prospective study evaluated 20 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent lenvatinib treatment. Both blood and urine samples were collected from the patients before starting lenvatinib therapy (day 0), and on days 3, 7, 14, and 28 thereafter. Plasma and urine concentrations of free and acyl carnitine (AC) were assessed at each time point. The changes in daily fatigue were evaluated using the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI). Results Plasma levels of free carnitine (FC) at days 3 and 7 were significantly higher compared with baseline (p = 0.005, p = 0.005, respectively). The urine FC level at day 3 was significantly higher compared with baseline (p = 0.030) and that of day 7 tended to be higher compared with baseline (p = 0.057). The plasma AC concentration at days 14 and 28 was significantly higher compared with that of baseline (p = 0.002, p = 0.005, respectively). The plasma AC-to-FC (AC/FC) ratio on days 14 and 28 was significantly higher compared with baseline (p = 0.001, p = 0.003, respectively). There were significant correlations between the plasma AC/FC ratio and the change in the BFI score at days 14 and 28 (r = 0.461, p = 0.041; r = 0.770, p = 0.002, respectively). Conclusions Longitudinal assessments of carnitine and fatigue in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma suggest that lenvatinib affects the carnitine system in patients undergoing lenvatinib therapy and that carnitine insufficiency increases fatigue. The occurrence of carnitine insufficiency may be a common cause of fatigue during the treatment.

Abstract
Background
Computed tomography (CT) derived ischemia index is a novel tool to determine the significance of coronary artery disease, however, its ability to identify myocardial ischemia has not been examined.
Methods
From Jan. 2013 to Dec. 2015, 14,000 patients underwent ECG-gated CT coronary angiography for suspected coronary artery disease. From Jan. 2013 to Jan. 2016, 483 patients (589 vessels) underwent conventional FFR to assess myocardial ischemia. Among those, FFR was assessed in 148 patients (167 vessels) within 30 days after CT coronary angiography. We further excluded 24 patients with prior stenting or bypass grafting, 3 patients with multiple MDCT or FFR, and 6 patients with insufficient datasets. Finally, we included 117 patients (127 vessels) to assess the correlation between CT derived ischemia index and conventional FFR.
CT derived ischemia index was calculated as follows: left ventricular volume distally to the coronary artery lumen (cm3)/coronary artery lumen area (mm2). Left ventricular volume was automatically determined using Advantage Workstation and divided according to the nearest coronary artery tree. Center of coronary arteries were manually traced and contours of coronary artery lumen were automatically depicted. CT derived ischemia index was calculated at approximately every 0.625mm point of coronary artery. Moving median of consecutive 5 points (approximately 3.125mm) were used to remove outliers. Maximum value of CT derived ischemia index per coronary artery segment was calculated to determine the significance of coronary artery disease.
Results
Mean age was 71.3±10.5 years and 63.8% of patients were male. Coronary angiography was performed to assess conventional FFR at the median of 13 days (IQR 7 to 18 days) after CT. Majority of the target vessel was left anterior descending artery (71.7%), followed by right coronary artery (14.2%), left circumflex artery (13.4%) and left main coronary artery (0.8%). According to the quantitative coronary angiography, minimum lumen diameter was 1.47±0.32mm with percent diameter stenosis of 48.3±10.4%. Median FFR value was 0.83 (IQR 0.76 to 0.88) and positive test for myocardial ischemia (FFR <0.80) was observed in 42 vessels (33.1%). Maximum CT derived ischemia index per segment ranged from 1.825 to 57.296 (median 8.333, IQR 4.911 to 14.484). There was a negative correlation between CT derived ischemia index and FFR (r=−0.319, 95% confidence interval −0.467 to −0.153, P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated CT derived ischemia index of 9.962 has 76.2% sensitivity and 70.6% specificity for the presence of FFR<0.80 (AUC 0.73, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.82).
Conclusions
A novel tool of CT derived ischemia index has a significant negative correlation with conventional FFR in lesions with mild to moderate stenosis. Larger multicenter prospective studies are needed to fully determine the impact of CT derived ischemia index.

Abstract
Background Paritaprevir inhibits organic anion–transporting polypeptide (OATP)1B1 and OATP1B3, which transport bilirubin. Hyperbilirubinemia is an adverse event reported during hepatitis C treatment. Gadoxetic acid is also transported by OATP1B1/1B3. We evaluated whether the enhancement effect in gadoxetic acid–enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging could predict the plasma concentration of paritaprevir and might anticipate the development of hyperbilirubinemia. Methods This prospective study evaluated 27 patients with hepatitis C who underwent gadoxetic acid–enhanced MR imaging prior to treatment with ombitasvir, paritaprevir, and ritonavir. The contrast enhancement index (CEI), a measure of liver enhancement during the hepatobiliary phase, was assessed. Plasma trough concentrations, and concentrations at 2, 4, and 6 h after dosing were determined 7 d after the start of treatment. Results Seven patients (26%) developed hyperbilirubinemia (≥ 1.6 mg/dl). Paritaprevir trough concentration (Ctrough) was significantly higher in patients with hyperbilirubinemia than in those without (p = 0.022). We found an inverse relationship between CEI and Ctrough (r = 0.612, p = 0.001), while there was not a significantly weak inverse relationship between AUC0–6 h and CEI (r = −0.338, p = 0.085). The partial correlation coefficient between CEI and Ctrough was −0.425 (p = 0.034), while excluding the effects of albumin and the FIB-4 index. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the CEI was relatively accurate in predicting hyperbilirubinemia, with area under the ROC of 0.882. Multivariate analysis showed that the CEI < 1.61 was the only independent predictor related to the development of hyperbilirubinemia, with an odds ratio of 9.08 (95% confidence interval 1.05–78.86, p = 0.046). Conclusions Hepatic enhancement with gadoxetic acid was independently related to paritaprevir concentration and was an independent pretreatment factor in predicting hyperbilirubinemia. Gadoxetic acid–enhanced MR imaging can therefore be useful in determining the risk of paritaprevir-induced hyperbilirubinemia.

Abstract
Background: Abiraterone acetate is an androgen synthesis inhibitor approved for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Although co-administration of either prednisone or prednisolone at 10 mg/d has been recommended to reduce the risk of abiraterone-induced hyperaldosteronism (notably hypokalemia) and to give adjunctive pain relief effects, whether these glucocorticoids can be substituted by dexamethasone remains unknown. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of medical records of patients who were given abiraterone for the treatment of CRPC with either prednisolone (ABI/PSL) 10 mg/d or dexamethasone (ABI/DEX) 0.5 or 1 mg/d between 2014 and 2017 in Juntendo University Nerima Hospital. Demographic and biochemical data including prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level were retrieved from the electronic medical records. Results: Fifty-three eligible patients (27 in ABI/PSL group and 26 in ABI/DEX group) were extracted from the records. Both groups showed no significant changes in serum potassium level before and after starting treatment. In the ABI/PSL group, 12 patients (46%) showed elevations of PSA and 7 patients (27%) discontinued treatment within 3 months. In contrast, in the ABI/DEX group, only 6 patients (25%) showed elevations of PSA and 3 patients (13%, all were given dexamethasone 1 mg/d) discontinued treatment. Conclusions: Dexamethasone and prednisolone may be equally effective in preventing abiraterone-induced hypokalemia.

Abstract
AIM The indocyanine green (ICG) finger-piece method (FPM), which allows measurement of the ICG concentration by mounting a light sensor onto a finger, is used to assess liver function. We compared the ICG FPM with the conventional ICG blood sampling method (BSM) in patients with liver disorders. METHODS Ninety consecutive patients simultaneously underwent the ICG BSM and ICG FPM. After ICG administration, blood samples were collected at 5, 10, and 15 min for the ICG BSM. The ICG concentration was measured through the finger piece by an ICG clearance meter. RESULTS Seventy-one patients (78.9%) had Child-Pugh class A liver disease, and 19 (21.1%) had class B or C. The FPM-measured ICG plasma disappearance rate was positively correlated with the BSM-measured values (r = 0.886, P < 0.001). Bland-Altman analysis showed good agreement between the two methods (mean difference, 0.012 ± 0.018). The FPM-measured ICG plasma disappearance rate was positively correlated with the BSM-measured values both in patients with Child-Pugh class A liver disease (r = 0.821, P < 0.001) and class B or C liver disease (r = 0.859, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The ICG FPM may be an alternative to the ICG BSM for liver function assessment.

Abstract
The bovine intestinal epithelial cell line (BIE cells) expresses the Toll-like receptor (TLR)3 and is able to mount an antiviral immune response after the stimulation with poly(I:C). In the present study, we aimed to further characterise the antiviral defence mechanisms in BIE cells by evaluating the innate immune response triggered by rotavirus (RV) infection. In addition, we attempted to determine whether immunobiotic bifidobacteria are able to confer protection of BIE cells against RV infection by beneficially modulating the antiviral immune response. RV OSU (porcine) and UK (bovine) effectively infected BIE cells, while a significant lower capacity to infect BIE cells was observed for human (Wa) and murine (EW) RV. We observed that viral infection in BIE cells triggered TLR3/RIG-I-mediated immune responses with activation of IRF3 and TRAF3, induction of interferon beta (IFN-β) and up-regulation of inflammatory cytokines. Our results also demonstrated that preventive treatments with Bifidobacterium infantis MCC12 or Bifidobacterium breve MCC1274 significantly reduced RV titres in infected BIE cells and differentially modulated the innate immune response. Of note, both strains significantly improved the production of the antiviral factor IFN-β in RV-infected BIE cells. In conclusion, this work provides comprehensive information on the antiviral immune response of BIE cells against RV, that can be further studied for the development of strategies aimed to improve antiviral defences in bovine intestinal epithelial cells. Our results also demonstrate that BIE cells could be used as a newly immunobiotic evaluation system against RV infection for application in the bovine host.

Abstract
Background Hyperphosphatemia is one of the common complications in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Although calcium carbonate (CaC) is often used to control serum inorganic phosphorus level in dialysis patients, co-administration of gastric acid reducers (ARs) may interfere with the phosphate binding effect of CaC. We performed a retrospective medical chart review to study whether ARs attenuate the hypophosphatemic effect of CaC in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Methods One hundred and eight chronic hemodialysis patients receiving either CaC alone or CaC concomitant with one of the ARs (proton pump inhibitors and histamine H2-receptor antagonists) were retrieved from the medical charts in Juntendo University Nerima Hospital. The patients were subdivided according to the interval between hemodialysis sessions (interdialysis interval of 48 or 72 h). A multivariate analysis was performed to identify clinical covariates associated with the variability of serum inorganic phosphorus levels. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board before the study was begun. Results Among patients on hemodialysis with a 72-h interdialysis interval, the magnitude of increase in serum inorganic phosphorus concentration in patients receiving CaC and AR was significantly greater than in those receiving CaC alone. While a similar trend was observed among patients with a 48-h interdialysis interval, the difference did not reach a significant level. A multivariate regression analysis revealed that concomitant administration of ARs with CaC and a longer interdialysis interval (72 h) were significantly and independently associated with the magnitude of increase in serum phosphorus concentration between dialysis sessions. No significant differences in albumin-corrected serum calcium concentrations and incidence of pathological fractures were observed between patients receiving CaC alone and those receiving CaC with ARs. Conclusions Concomitant use of ARs with CaC may attenuate the hypophosphatemic effect of CaC in patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. When hemodialysis patients require prescription of ARs for the prevention of upper gastrointestinal mucosal diseases (such as peptic ulcer), it may be prudent to choose a phosphate binder other than CaC.

Abstract
Simeprevir is a substrate for organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATPs) that transport bilirubin. Hyperbilirubinemia is an adverse event reported during treatment of chronic hepatitis C patients with simeprevir plus pegylated interferon and ribavirin. Because gadoxetic acid is also a substrate of OATPs, pretreatment gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may predict hyperbilirubinemia during treatment. This prospective study therefore evaluated 11 consecutive patients with chronic hepatitis C who underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI prior to treatment with simeprevir plus pegylated interferon and ribavirin for 12 weeks, followed by pegylated interferon and ribavirin for an additional 12 weeks. Their contrast enhancement index (CEI), an index of liver parenchymal enhancement during the hepatobiliary phase, was assessed before treatment. Plasma trough concentrations (Ctrough ) of simeprevir were determined 7 days after its administration, and serum bilirubin concentrations were measured throughout the course of treatment. Six patients (55%) developed hyperbilirubinemia (≥1.6 mg/dL) during treatment. Ctrough was significantly higher in patients with than without hyperbilirubinemia (P = .009), with a strong inverse relationship between CEI and Ctrough (r = -0.911, P < .001). CEI was significantly lower in patients with than without hyperbilirubinemia (P = .009), but there were no significant differences between the 2 groups in pretreatment serum albumin concentrations and FIB-4 index, an index of liver fibrosis. Hepatic enhancement with gadoxetic acid was related to Ctrough of simeprevir. Gadoxetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging may predict the development of hyperbilirubinemia during treatment of hepatitis C patients with simeprevir plus pegylated interferon and ribavirin.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to clarify the molecular mechanism mediating the cytotoxicity of axitinib, a selective inhibitor of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), in sunitinib-resistant renal cell carcinoma (RCC). METHODS In our previous study (Sakai et al. in BJU Int 112:E211-E220, 2013), a human RCC cell line, ACHN, resistant to sunitinib (ACHN/R), was developed from a parental cell line (ACHN/P). Differences in molecular phenotypes following treatment with sunitinib or axitinib between these two cell lines were compared. RESULTS ACHN/R showed an approximately fivefold higher IC50 of sunitinib than ACHN/P; however, there was no significant difference in the sensitivity to axitinib between these two cell lines. In ACHN/R, despite the lack of a difference in the phosphorylated (p)-Akt or STAT-3 expression between treatment with sunitinib and axitinib, the expression of p-p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and p-VEGFR-2 after treatment with axitinib was markedly down-regulated compared with those after treatment with sunitinib. Furthermore, additional treatment of ACHN/R with an inhibitor of MAPK kinase significantly enhanced the cytotoxic activity of sunitinib, but not that of axitinib. In vivo growth of ACHN/R in nude mice after treatment with axitinib was significantly inhibited compared with that following treatment with sunitinib, accompanying the marked inhibition of angiogenesis. CONCLUSIONS Antitumor activity of axitinib in RCC cells even after the acquisition of resistance to sunitinib could be explained, at least in part, by the inactivation of p44/42 MAPK and VEGFR-2, which were persistently phosphorylated in sunitinib-resistant RCC cells under treatment with sunitinib.

Abstract
AIM To compare the pharmacokinetics of radiofrequency (RF) ablation with chemolipiodolization using cisplatin (CDDP) powder and miriplatin (MPT) in a porcine liver. METHODS Twelve pigs were divided equally into four groups. After each CDDP powder-lipiodol suspension (n = 6; groups A and B) or MPT-lipiodol suspension (n = 6; groups C and D) was injected into the lateral left artery, one RF ablation was performed at the lateral left lobe of each pig. Six pigs (groups A and C) were killed on the same day as treatment, whereas the other pigs (groups B and D) were killed 7 days after the treatment. The platinum concentrations in venous blood were assayed at 15, 60 and 120 min, and 7 days after treatment. The platinum concentrations in the ablated area and the surrounding liver were also examined. RESULTS Plasma platinum concentrations of the CDDP group peaked at 15 min, and then gradually diminished over time (μg units), while plasma platinum levels in the MPT group gradually increased over time (ng units). Liver tissue platinum concentrations of the CDDP group were significantly lower in non-ablative areas than in ablated areas at days 0 and 7, while liver concentrations of the MPT group were significantly higher in non-ablative areas than in ablated areas at day 7. CONCLUSION MPT may be a suitable chemotherapeutic agent to stagnate platinum in the surrounding liver.

Abstract
In-office bleaching is a popular treatment in modern esthetic dentistry. However, bleaching agents sometimes accidentally adhere to the gingiva and peripheral tissues, even when applied by well-trained dentists. This can lead to transient pain and whitish changes in the gingiva. Although these symptoms disappear within several hours, the effects of bleaching agents on gingiva have not been well described in the literature. The present study aimed to elucidate the cytotoxic effects of a bleaching agent on cultured human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). We performed a comprehensive analysis of the toxic effects of in-office bleaching agents on gingiva using cultured HGFs and DNA microarray. Survival rates of HGFs decreased with increases in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, which became significant at concentrations of 1.5 × 10(-3)% or higher at every time point. Concentrations lower than 1.5 × 10(-3)% did not affect survival rates of HGFs. Cytotoxicity of hydrogen peroxide was significantly weakened by the addition of vitamin E. Stimulation by in-office bleaching agents triggered the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α cascade in gingival fibroblasts. As the TNF-α cascade can be inhibited by vitamin E additives, treatment with vitamin E may protect gingival fibroblasts against the toxic effects of an in-office bleaching agent. The present results suggest that local administration of vitamin E to gingiva before in-office bleaching may be useful for preventing gingival irritation due to accidental adhesion of a bleaching agent.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate whether genetic polymorphisms of the organic anion transporting polypeptides influence hepatic enhancement in gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI. PATIENTS & METHODS We analyzed the genotypes of SLCO1B1 388A>G, SLCO1B1 521T>C, SLCO1B3 334T>G and NR1H4 -1G>T and calculated the mean quantitative liver-spleen contrast ratio, as an index of liver parenchymal enhancement, in 226 patients with liver disease. RESULTS Multiple linear regression analysis using the mean quantitative liver-spleen contrast ratio as the dependent variable revealed that not only Child-Pugh score, but also SLCO1B1*1b haplotype (β = 0.12; p = 0.04), were significant predictors of liver parenchymal enhancement. In addition, SLCO1B3 334T>G (β = -0.18; p = 0.03) was a significant predictor when the data were analyzed in a subgroup of 117 patients, excluding the carriers of NR1H4 -1G>T, who reportedly exhibit reduced transcriptional activity of SLCO1B3. CONCLUSION These genetic variants, as well as hepatic function, may contribute to individual differences in hepatic enhancement with gadoxetic acid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS To accurately quantify liver function using gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced MR imaging. METHODOLOGY A total of 105 patients with suspicion of a hepatic tumor (Child–Pugh scores: 5 in 56, 6 in 26, 7 in 20, and 8 in 3) who underwent Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MR imaging and an indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min (ICG-R15) evaluation were retrospectively analyzed. The hepatobiliary images were taken at 20 min after Gd-EOB-DTPA injection. The quantitative liver–spleen contrast ratio (Q-LSC) was measured by calculating the signal intensity of the spleen and 12 intrahepatic points consisting of each central zone (near the porta hepatis) and peripheral zone (near the subcapsular zone) in the two main liver lobes. RESULTS Each averaged Q-LSC of six points in the central zone or right lobe was significantly higher than that in the peripheral zone or left lobe regardless of hepatic function. The mean Q-LSC of the 12 points was significantly correlated with the ICG-R15 and significantly decreased with elevation of the Child–Pugh score. CONCLUSIONS The hepatic enhancement by Gd-EOB-DTPA is influenced by zonal and lobar differences. This method with consideration of regional differences is valid for estimation of liver function by Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MR imaging.

Abstract
A central nervous system (CNS) disorder characterized by non-suppurative encephalomyelitis with neurological signs was induced experimentally in gnotobiotic pigs by intravenous and oral or intranasal inoculation of the porcine teschovirus (PTV) Toyama 2002 strain isolated from breeding pigs in Japan. Lesions consisting of perivascular cuffing of mononuclear cells, focal gliosis, neuronal necrosis and neuronophagia were observed in the brainstem, cerebellum and spinal cord. Non-suppurative ganglionitis in the spinal ganglion and neuritis in the spinal root were also observed. Regardless of the route of inoculation, all pigs infected experimentally with PTV showed a similar distribution of CNS lesions. Histological lesions in the CNS caused by oral or intranasal inoculation of the virus were mild compared with those induced by intravenous infection. Immunohistochemically, the distribution of PTV antigens corresponded closely with the distribution of brain lesions. PTV particles were detected via electron microscopy in the cytoplasm of nerve cells and the endothelial cells of blood vessels in the spinal cord of inoculated pigs. Polymerase chain reaction analysis demonstrated the presence of PTV RNA in the CNS, tonsils and large intestines of 21 of the 22 pigs inoculated. Direct CNS invasion via the blood vessels appears to be a major route of infection for PTV. The gnotobiotic pig provides a useful model for further study of PTV pathogenesis.

Abstract
A 28-year-old woman visited our clinic with a chief complaint of epigastralgia. She had received successful Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy 5 years before. We repeated esophagogastroduodenoscopy, and a discolored depressed area with reddish spots and converging folds, 20 mm in size, was detected. No atrophic change including intestinal metaplasia or nodular gastritis was seen endoscopically. Two endoscopic biopsies revealed undifferentiated adenocarcinoma. No H. pylori was found, and the 13C-urea breath test was also negative. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated no nodal involvement, distant metastasis or fluid collection. She underwent a laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy. Histologically, the resected specimen revealed an early undifferentiated gastric cancer that had invaded deeply into the submucosal layer. Nodal involvement was histologically confirmed. No atrophic change or H. pylori infection was evident histologically. This is the youngest patient ever reported to have developed a node-positive early gastric cancer after eradication of H. pylori.

Abstract
Indium, thallium and bismuth are toxic and it is important to know the distribution of these elements in environmental water. The concentrations of these elements were measured in 50 sampling points in Japan and the reasons of high concentrations in several samples were discussed. The average concentrations (ng/L) of dissolved and particulate indium in river, lake and coastal seawater were 1.4-3.0 and 2.4-9.1, respectively. Those for thallium were 7.2-11.3 and 3.5-36.0. Those for bismuth were 12.7-24.0 and 12.1-52.7.

Abstract
Over 90% of iron deficiency anemia cases are due to iron deficiency associated with depletion of stored iron or inadequate intake. Parenteral iron supplementation is an important part of the management of anemia, and some kinds of intravenous iron are used. However, few studies have evaluated the clinical efficacy of these drugs. The purpose of this study was to compare and assess the clinical efficacy of two types of intravenous iron injection, saccharated ferric oxide (SFO) and cideferron (CF). Medical records were obtained for 91 unrelated Japanese anemia patients treated with SFO (n = 37) or CF (n = 54) from May 2005 to May 2010 at Gunma University Hospital. Patients treated with blood transfusion, erythropoietin or oral iron were excluded. Hemoglobin (Hb) values measured on day 0, 7 and 14 were used to assess the efficacy of intravenous irons. A significant increase was observed in the mean Hb value by day 14 of administration in both the CF group and SFO group, and the mean Hb increase due to administration of CF for 7 days was comparable to that of SFO for 14 days. Age and sex did not affect improvement of Hb value. CF is fast acting and highly effective compared with SFO for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. The use of CF may shorten a therapeutic period for iron deficiency anemia, and CF may be feasible for reducing the hospitalization period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Integrin αIIbβ3 plays key roles in platelet aggregation and subsequent thrombus formation. Hydrogen peroxide-inducible clone-5 (Hic-5), a member of the paxillin family, serves as a focal adhesion adaptor protein associated with αIIbβ3 at its cytoplasmic strand. OBJECTIVES Hic-5 function in αIIbβ3 activation and subsequent platelet aggregation remains unknown. To address this question, platelets from Hic-5(-/-) mice were analyzed. METHODS AND RESULTS Hic-5(-/-) mice displayed a significant hemostatic defect and resistance to thromboembolism, which were explained in part by weaker thrombin-induced aggregation in Hic-5(-/-) platelets. Mechanistically, Hic-5(-/-) platelets showed limited activation of αIIbβ3 upon thrombin treatment. Morphological alteration in Hic-5(-/-) platelets after thrombin stimulation on fibrinogen plates was also limited. As a direct consequence, the quantity of actin co-immunoprecipitating with the activated αIIbβ3 was smaller in Hic-5(-/-) platelets than in wild-type platelets. CONCLUSION We identified Hic-5 as a novel and specific regulatory factor for thrombin-induced αIIbβ3 activation and subsequent platelet aggregation in mice.

Abstract
We report the first direct measurement of the hyperfine transition of the ground state positronium. The hyperfine structure between ortho-positronium and para-positronium is about 203 GHz. We develop a new optical system to accumulate about 10 kW power using a gyrotron, a mode converter, and a Fabry-Pérot cavity. The hyperfine transition has been observed with a significance of 5.4 standard deviations. The transition probability is measured to be A = 3.1(-1.2)(+1.6) × 10(-8) s(-1) for the first time, which is in good agreement with the theoretical value of 3.37 × 10(-8) s(-1).

Abstract
A 74-year-old woman underwent colonoscopy for investigation of a liver tumor. A lateral spreading tumor of the non-granular type (LST-NG), 25 mm in diameter, was detected at the rectosigmoid junction. As magnifying image-enhanced colonoscopy suggested a tubulovillous adenoma, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) was chosen for removal of the LST-NG. The lesion was effectively and evenly lifted after injection of 0.4% hyaluronic acid diluted with glycerol in the ratio of 1:1. A small amount of indigo-carmine dye was also added for coloration of the plane of resection. The lesion was completely removed en bloc. Although a blue-colored layer was identified in the resection defect, a small amount of a whitish layer was detected above the blue layer. The muscle layer was clearly located on the underside of the resected polyp. A total of 14 endoclips were used to close the defect completely. The patient was successfully treated conservatively without surgery. Histology of the resected specimen showed that it contained a tubulovillous adenoma with the submucosal layer and both layers of the muscularis propria. The surgical margin was free of neoplastic change horizontally and vertically. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of full-thickness resection associated with EMR after unplanned injection of dilute hyaluronic acid into the subserosal layer rather than the intended submucosal layer. We describe how to promptly recognize this complication during colonoscopy, in order to achieve immediate closure of the defect, with the identification of a "mirror target sign" on the colonic wall.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Several lines of evidence suggest that incretin-based therapies suppress the development of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes. We investigated the possibility that glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) can prevent the development of atherosclerosis in Apoe (-/-) mice. METHODS Apoe (-/-) mice (17 weeks old) were administered GLP-1(7-36)amide, GLP-1(9-36)amide, GIP(1-42) or GIP(3-42) for 4 weeks. Aortic atherosclerosis, oxidised LDL-induced foam cell formation and related gene expression in exudate peritoneal macrophages were determined. RESULTS Administration of GLP-1(7-36)amide or GIP(1-42) significantly suppressed atherosclerotic lesions and macrophage infiltration in the aortic wall, compared with vehicle controls. These effects were cancelled by co-infusion with specific antagonists for GLP-1 and GIP receptors, namely exendin(9-39) or Pro(3)(GIP). The anti-atherosclerotic effects of GLP-1(7-36)amide and GIP(1-42) were associated with significant decreases in foam cell formation and downregulation of CD36 and acyl-coenzyme A:cholesterol acyltransferase-1 (ACAT-1) in macrophages. GLP-1 and GIP receptors were both detected in Apoe (-/-) mouse macrophages. Ex vivo incubation of macrophages with GLP-1(7-36)amide or GIP(1-42) for 48 h significantly suppressed foam cell formation. This effect was wholly abolished in macrophages pretreated with exendin(9-39) or (Pro(3))GIP, or with an adenylate cyclase inhibitor, MDL12,330A, and was mimicked by incubation with an adenylate cyclase activator, forskolin. The inactive forms, GLP-1(9-36)amide and GIP(3-42), had no effects on atherosclerosis and macrophage foam cell formation. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our study is the first to demonstrate that active forms of GLP-1 and GIP exert anti-atherogenic effects by suppressing macrophage foam cell formation via their own receptors, followed by cAMP activation. Molecular mechanisms underlying these effects are associated with the downregulation of CD36 and ACAT-1 by incretins.

Abstract
A 78-year-old woman was referred to our department for treatment of an early gastric cancer. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) demonstrated a flat elevated lesion and a polypoid lesion on the greater curvature of the antrum. Histological analysis of, endoscopic biopsy samples taken from these lesions revealed an adenocarcinoma and a hyperplastic polyp, respectively. ESD was conducted for removal of the lesions. Carbon dioxide (CO2) instead of room air was used for insufflation, and the patient was adequately sedated without struggling or vomiting during the treatment. No significant bleeding from the lesion was observed during ESD, but fresh blood was identified endoscopically. Surprisingly, a Mallory-Weiss tear with active bleeding was detected on the lesser curvature of the gastric corpus. A total of eight hemoclips were applied for hemostasis. Both lesions were completely removed en bloc, and no bleeding or perforation developed after ESD. Histologically, the first lesion was a papillary carcinoma limited to the mucosal layer and without lymphovascular invasion or involvement of the surgical margins, while the second lesion was a benign hyperplastic polyp.

Abstract
A 9-year-old girl presented with a chief complaint of abdominal pain. Esophagogastroduodenal endoscopy (EGD) identified a long and large gastric trichobezoar extending into the duodenum. We attempted endoscopic retrieval after informed consent was obtained from the patient’s mother. Initially, a gasper with 5-prolongs, commonly used for retrieval of endoscopically excised polyps, failed to remove the whole trichobezoar. When a net was used instead, it proved impossible to remove the trichobezoar completely. Therefore, we withdrew the scope from the mouth, leaving the net grasping the tricobezoar firmly in the stomach. Subsequently, we were able to retrieve about 70% of the trichobezoar manually by grasping the snare part of the net directly. A second pass found no deep laceration or perforation endoscopically. The remaining trichobezoar was completely retrieved with the net. The procedure was completed within 15 min. The retrieved specimens were 34 cm in length and 100 g in weight. The patient was discharged uneventfully 5 d thereafter. She was advised to visit a psychiatrist to avoid suffering from a relapse. Follow-up EGD showed no trichobezoar, and the patient’s frontal hair grew back.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are the most widely used antidepressants in the world. Recent studies, however, have raised the concern that SSRIs increase the risk of gastrointestinal dysfunction. Therefore, we conducted a case-control study on gastrointestinal symptoms and endoscopic findings in patients who were taking SSRIs in Japan. METHODS Forty-one patients who were taking SSRIs (SSRI-treated group) and 82 age- and sex-matched patients who were not taking antidepressants (control group) were selected from the population of patients who underwent endoscopic examination from January 1, 2005 to March 31, 2010 in our institution, and their subjective symptoms and endoscopic findings were analyzed. Patients who were taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and/or histamine H(2)-receptor antagonists (H2RAs) were excluded from this study. RESULTS The chief complaints at the endoscopic examination were classified into the following 4 categories: reflux symptoms, dysmotility symptoms, ulcer-like symptoms, and no upper abdominal symptoms. No significant difference was found in the complaint rate of each category between the SSRI-treated and the control groups. No significant differences were found between the groups in endoscopic findings, the LANZA score and the rate of chief complaints in patient classes stratified by the endoscopic finding. CONCLUSION It was not evident that SSRIs induced mucosal damage of the upper gastrointestinal tract. And, it is considered that SSRIs do not increase the risk of upper gastrointestinal symptoms in patients treated with SSRIs for 1 month or longer. The present study suggests that SSRI medication does not have a bad influence on gastrointestinal symptoms and gastrointestinal organic diseases.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the ablative margin of radiofrequency (RF) ablation to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS RF ablation was performed in the livers of six pigs after the i.v. administration of Gd-EOB-DTPA 20 min before ablation. Three pigs were killed 2 h after administration (group A), and the other pigs were killed 7 days after ablation (group B). Thereafter, correlation between pathological findings and MRI was investigated. Moreover, the Gd concentrations were examined in ablated and non-ablated regions. An initial clinical evaluation was conducted for 28 HCC nodules. Percutaneous RF ablation was performed 20 min after administration, and T(1)-weighted images were taken 2, 24 and 72 h post-treatment. RESULTS On T(1)-weighted images of the porcine liver, the RF ablated lesions showed hyperintense regions with hypointense rims, which histopathologically corresponded to sinusoidal congestion. The Gd concentrations in ablated regions in group A were significantly higher than those in non-ablated regions, while the concentrations in both regions in group B fell to nearly undetectable levels. In 27 of the 28 HCC nodules, the treated area consisted of a hypointense region, indicative of the tumor, and a surrounding hyperintense rim 2 h after ablation. Subsequently, a thin hypointense region was observed in the outermost layer 24 and 72 h after ablation. CONCLUSION Administration of Gd-EOB-DTPA in conjunction with RF ablation of HCC may be feasible for the assessment of an accurate ablative margin.
