Abstract
Stem cells are regulated not only by biochemical signals but also by biophysical properties of extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM is constantly monitored and remodeled because the fate of stem cells can be misdirected when the mechanical interaction between cells and ECM is imbalanced. A well-defined ECM model for bone marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) based on supramolecular hydrogels containing reversible host-guest crosslinks is fabricated. The stiffness (Young's modulus E) of the hydrogels can be switched reversibly by altering the concentration of non-cytotoxic, free guest molecules dissolved in the culture medium. Fine-adjustment of substrate stiffness enables the authors to determine the critical stiffness level E* at which hMSCs turn the mechano-sensory machinery on or off. Next, the substrate stiffness across E* is switched and the dynamic adaptation characteristics such as morphology, traction force, and YAP/TAZ signaling of hMSCs are monitored. These data demonstrate the instantaneous switching of traction force, which is followed by YAP/TAZ signaling and morphological adaptation. Periodical switching of the substrate stiffness across E* proves that frequent applications of mechanical stimuli drastically suppress hMSC proliferation. Mechanical stimulation across E* level using dynamic hydrogels is a promising strategy for the on-demand control of hMSC transcription and proliferation.

Abstract
An efficient synthesis of cyclic polymers (CPs) is in high demand due to their unique properties. However, polymer cyclization generally occurs at low concentrations (0.1 g/L), and the synthesis of CPs at high concentrations remains a challenge. Herein an efficient cyclization of poly(ethylene glycol) (Mn = 2000 g/mol, 4000 g/mol) (PEG-2k, PEG-4k) in high concentration (80 g/L) is realized by the assistance of pseudopolyrotaxane (pPRx). Water-soluble pPRx with a U-like-shape inclusion motif is prepared by mixing the 2-hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrin (HPγCD) and PEG with (E)-3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamate (TCA-PEG-2k, TCA-PEG-4k). Subsequent irradiation of the pPRx solution (10-80 g/L) by UV light gives cyclic polymers through the intramolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of the cinnamoyl moieties. The photoreaction of TCA-PEG-2k in the pPRx system gives cyclic monomers (C-1mer) as major products with a yield of 66% at 80 g/L. Additionally, the cyclization of TCA-PEG-4k also gives C-1mer as major products with a yield of 45% at a concentration of 80 g/L.

Abstract
Practical applications like very thin stress-strain sensors require high strength, stretchability, and conductivity, simultaneously. One of the approaches is improving the toughness of the stress-strain sensing materials. Polymeric materials with movable cross-links in which the polymer chain penetrates the cavity of cyclodextrin (CD) demonstrate enhanced strength and stretchability, simultaneously. We designed two approaches that utilize elastomer nanocomposites with movable cross-links and carbon filler (ketjenblack, KB). One approach is mixing SC (a single movable cross-network material), a linear polymer (poly(ethyl acrylate), PEA), and KB to obtain their composite. The electrical resistance increases proportionally with tensile strain, leading to the application of this composite as a stress-strain sensor. The responses of this material are stable for over 100 loading and unloading cycles. The other approach is a composite made with KB and a movable cross-network elastomer for knitting dissimilar polymers (KP), where movable cross-links connect the CD-modified polystyrene (PSCD) and PEA. The obtained composite acts as a highly sensitive stress-strain sensor that exhibits an exponential increase in resistance with increasing tensile strain due to the polymer dethreading from the CD rings. The designed preparations of highly repeatable or highly responsive stress-strain sensors with good mechanical properties can help broaden their application in electrical devices.

Abstract
Introduction Although the importance of mucosal healing has been suggested in Crohn's disease, it is difficult to repeat endoscopy, especially for the entire small bowel. Recently, serum leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein (LRG) has been used as a surrogate marker of endoscopy. However, few studies have investigated a correlation between LRG and mucosal injury of the entire small bowel. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 30 patients with Crohn's disease from June 2020 to August 2022 at Yamaguchi Red Cross Hospital. All the patients were surveyed through the gastrointestinal tract by esophagogastroduodenoscopy, total colonoscopy, and capsule endoscopy (CE). Subjects with mucosal injury only in the small bowel were selected. Then, we assessed the relationship between serum biomarkers (LRG, C-reactive protein [CRP], hemoglobin, albumin) and small bowel mucosal injury scores (Lewis score [LS], Capsule Endoscopy Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CECDAI], and Crohn's Disease Activity in Capsule Endoscopy [CDACE]) calculated by CE. Results LRG and CRP were significantly correlated with small bowel mucosal injury scores (LS, CECDAI, CDACE) (p < 0.05, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient). The degree of correlation was greater for LRG than for CRP. Conclusions LRG is a useful surrogate marker that closely reflects small bowel mucosal injury in the entire small bowel.

Abstract
We report unique conductive leaf-inspired (in particular, stomata-inspired) supramolecular gas sensors in which acetylated cyclodextrin derivatives rule the electric output. The gas sensors consist of polymers bearing acetylated cyclodextrin, adamantane, and carbon black. Host-guest complexes between acetylated cyclodextrin and adamantane corresponding to the closed stomata realize a flexible polymeric matrix. Effective recombination of the cross-links contributes to the robustness. As gas sensors, the supramolecular materials detect ammonia as well as various other gases at 1 ppm in 10 min. The free acetylated cyclodextrin corresponding to open stomata recognized the guest gases to alter the electric resistivity. Interestingly, the conductive device failed to detect ammonia gases at all without acetylated cyclodextrin. The molecular recognition was studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The gas molecules existed stably in the cavity of free acetylated cyclodextrin. These findings show the potential for developing wearable gas sensors.

Abstract
Reversible cross-links by non-covalent bonds have been widely used to produce supramolecular hydrogels that are both tough and functional. While various supramolecular hydrogels with several kinds of reversible cross-links have been designed for many years, a universal design that would allow control of mechanical and functional properties remains unavailable. The physical properties of reversible cross-links are usually quantified by thermodynamics, dynamics, and bond energies. Herein, we investigated the relationship between the molecular mobility and mechanical toughness of supramolecular hydrogels consisting of two kinetically distinct reversible cross-links via host-guest interactions. The molecular mobility was quantified as the second-order average relaxation time (〈τ〉w) of the reversible cross-links. We discovered that hydrogels combining fast (〈τ〉w = 1.8 or 18 s) and slowly (〈τ〉w = 6.6 × 103 or 9.5 × 103 s) reversible cross-links showed increased toughness compared to hydrogels with only one type of cross-link because relaxation processes in the former occurred with wide timescales.

Abstract
Polyurethane (PU) materials with movable crosslinking were prepared by a typical two-step synthetic process using an acetylated γ-cyclodextrin (TAcγCD) diol compound. The soft segment of PU is polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF), and the hard segment consists of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and 1,3-propylene glycol (POD). The synthesized PU materials exhibited the typical mechanical characteristics of a movable crosslinking network, and the presence of hydrogen bonds from the urethane bonds resulted in a synergistic effect. Two kinds of noncovalent bond crosslinking increased the Young's modulus of the material without affecting its toughness. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray scattering measurements were performed to analyze the effect of introducing movable crosslinking on the internal hydrogen bond and the microphase separation structure of PU, and the results showed that the carbonyl groups on TAcγCD could form hydrogen bonds with the PU chains and that the introduction of movable crosslinking weakened the hydrogen bonds between the hard segments of PU. When stretched, the movable crosslinking of the PU materials suppressed the orientation of polymer chains (shish-kebab orientation) in the tensile direction. The mechanical properties of the movable crosslinked PU materials show promise for future application in the industrial field.

Abstract
Supramolecular hydrogels utilizing host-guest interactions (HG gels) exhibit large deformability and pronounced viscoelasticity. The inclusion complexes between β-cyclodextrin (host) and adamantane (guest) units on the water-soluble polymers form transient bonds. The HG gels show significant stress relaxation with finite equilibrium stress following the step strain. The stress relaxation process reflects the detachment dynamics of the transient bonds which sustain the initial stress, while the finite equilibrium stress is preserved by the permanent topological cross-links with a rotaxane structure. Nonlinear stress relaxation experiments in biaxial stretching with various combinations of two orthogonal strains unambiguously reveal that time and strain effects on stress are not separable. The relaxation is accelerated for a short time frame (<102 s) with an increase in the magnitude of strain, whereas it is retarded for a longer time window with an increase in the anisotropy of the imposed biaxial strain. The time-strain inseparability in the HG gels is in contrast to the simple nonlinear viscoelasticity of a dual cross-link gel with covalent and transient cross-links in which the separability was previously validated by the same assessment. We currently interpret that the significant susceptibility of the detachment dynamics to the deformation type results from the structural characteristics of the HG gels, i.e., the host and guest moieties covalently connected to the network chains, the considerably low concentrations (<0.1 M) of these moieties, and the slidability of the permanent rotaxane cross-links.

Abstract
Chronic non-specific multiple ulcers of the small intestine is a disease condition postulated in Japan. It is an uncommon gastrointestinal disease that causes chronic anemia and hypoalbuminemia by causing numerous ulcers without any histopathologically identifiable features. In recent years, it has been revealed that the mutations of SLCO2A1, which codes the prostaglandin transporter protein, are the cause of this disease;it is called the new name "chronic enteropathy associated with SLCO2A1 gene." The ileum, except the terminal ileum, is the most common place making it difficult to identify major lesions. Other than conservative treatments, such as nutrition therapy and iron supplements, no effective treatment has been identified so far. We present a case of chronic non-specific multiple ulcers of the small intestine diagnosed by capsule endoscopy and effectively treated by ferric carboxymaltose. A 48-year-old female had chronic iron deficiency anemia since around the age of 15. Because of severe anemia, the patient had upper and lower endoscopy at the age of 47 to find the source of the bleeding, but it was not detected. Except for the terminal ileum, the capsule endoscopy revealed ring-like ulcers, tape-like ulcers, and oblique ulcer scars in the ileum. Genetic analysis showed a homozygous mutation in intron 7, c.940+1G>A, indicating a definitive diagnosis of non-specific multiple ulcers of the small intestine. Anemia and anemia-related symptoms such as general malaise persisted despite continuous oral administration of iron drugs. Three intravenous injections of ferric carboxymaltose increased hemoglobin and enhanced the symptoms.

Abstract
Steric bulkiness and water content plays an important role in mechanical properties of supramolecular hydrogels consisting of host-guest complexation as cross-links. With low and high water contents, the network mobility and the kinetics of the cross-links become dominant to the mechanical properties, respectively.

Abstract
Objective With recent advances in endoscopic modalities, small bowel vascular lesions (SBVLs) are often now detected in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding. Given the high invasiveness of endoscopic treatment, it is important to select patients at high risk for bleeding. To assess the risk of rebleeding in patients with SBVLs as a systemic disease rather than a gastrointestinal disease in relation to their general health. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 55 patients with SBVLs among patients with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. The possible association between the clinical findings and the updated Charlson comorbidity index with rebleeding was evaluated. Results Gastrointestinal rebleeding occurred in 20 patients (36.4%) during the follow-up period. The presence of multiple comorbidities as indicated by an updated Charlson comorbidity index of ≥4 was a risk factor for rebleeding (hazard ratio, 3.64; p=0.004). Other risk factors were arteriosclerosis of the superior mesenteric artery and multiple SBVLs. Endoscopic hemostasis and the discontinuation of antithrombotic medications were not significantly associated with rebleeding. Patients with a high updated Charlson comorbidity index had a high risk of death of causes other than gastrointestinal rebleeding. Conclusion Gastrointestinal rebleeding is not a rare condition among patients with SBVLs. Patients with poor general health may therefore have a higher risk of rebleeding.

Abstract
We developed a mechano-responsive hydrogel that is driven by the dissociation of a host-guest complex. The hydrogel comprised a thermoresponsive linear polymer with adamantane as a guest molecule in its side chain and a nonthermoresponsive network structure with β-cyclodextrin as a host molecule. Immobilization of the thermoresponsive polymer in the hydrogel via host-guest interaction resulted in a partial restriction of its phase transition, even above its lower critical solution temperature (LCST). The hydrogel demonstrated a decrease in transmittance when mechanical stress was applied at a temperature above its LCST, indicating that the phase transition of the thermoresponsive polymer was induced by the dissociation of the host-guest complex under mechanical stress. Moreover, this mechano-responsive behavior was repeatable by cooling the hydrogel to redissolve the thermoresponsive polymer. The strategy of the mechano-responsive phase transition will be useful for various applications that demand the control of desired functions by applied stress.

Abstract
Biological macroscopic assemblies have inspired researchers to utilize molecular recognition to develop smart materials in these decades. Recently, macroscopic self-assemblies based on molecular recognition have been realized using millimeter-scale hydrogel pieces possessing molecular recognition moieties. During the study on macroscopic self-assembly based on molecular recognition, we noticed that the shape of assemblies might be dependent on the host-guest pair. In this study, we were thus motivated to study the macroscopic shape of assemblies formed through host-guest interaction. We modified crosslinked poly(sodium acrylate) microparticles, i.e., superabsorbent polymer (SAP) microparticles, with β-cyclodextrin (βCD) and adamantyl (Ad) residues (βCD(x)-SAP and Ad(y)-SAP microparticles, respectively, where x and y denote the mol% contents of βCD and Ad residues). Then, we studied the self-assembly behavior of βCD(x)-SAP and Ad(y)-SAP microparticles through the complexation of βCD with Ad residues. There was a threshold of the βCD content in βCD(x)-SAP microparticles for assembly formation between x = 22.3 and 26.7. On the other hand, the shape of assemblies was dependent on the Ad content, y; More elongated assemblies were formed at a higher y. This may be because, at a higher y, small clusters formed in an early stage can stick together even upon collisions at a single contact point to form elongated aggregates, whereas, at a smaller y, small clusters stick together only upon collisions at multiple contact points to give rather circular assemblies. On the basis of these observations, the shape of assembly formed from microparticles can be controlled by varying y.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although capsule endoscopy (CE) is useful to evaluate obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB), CE does not always identify the responsible lesions in patients with overt OGIB. OBJECTIVES To identify factors predictive of rebleeding after negative CE in patients with overt OGIB. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 221 patients who underwent CE for overt OGIB. Among 120 patients with negative CE findings, clinical course of 112 patients after CE was followed-up. Clinical factors associated with rebleeding after negative CE and lesions responsible for rebleeding were investigated. RESULTS Rebleeding was identified in 37 patients (33.0%) during follow-up after negative CE, and 36 patients (32.1%) developed rebleeding within 24 months after negative CE. Multivariate analyses showed that ongoing overt OGIB (OR 2.67; 95% CI 1.07-5.80; p = 0.036) and severe anemia at the initial CE examination (OR 2.54; 95% CI 1.33-4.96; p = 0.005) were independent factors -associated with rebleeding. Rebleeding source was detected in 13 patients. CONCLUSIONS Rebleeding is not a rare condition among patients with overt OGIB after negative CE. Patients with ongoing overt OGIB or severe anemia at the initial CE examination seem to have a higher risk of rebleeding.

Abstract
We report the first preparation of a supramolecular polysulfide polymer, which is a polyrotaxane containing sulfur-styrene copolymer and methylated α-cyclodextrins (TMαCDs) as linear and cyclic molecules, respectively (SPRx). Compared to the sulfur-styrene copolymer prepared by a copolymerization method typically used to synthesize polysulfide polymers, the environmental and thermal stabilities of SPRx are significantly improved because the polysulfide polymer is covered with TMαCD.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Severe heart failure (HF) with congenital heart disease (CHD) have demonstrated life threatening disorder despite of remarkable progress in medical therapies. Autologous skeletal myoblast sheet transplantation therapy showed clinical efficacy for left ventricular dysfunction by cytokine paracrine effects, which are expected to be sufficiently effective against right ventricular (RV) dysfunction which is often seen in end-stage of CHD patients with severe HF.
Hypothesis
An autologous skeletal myoblast sheet transplantation alleviates RV dysfunction in a pressure-overloaded right heart in a porcine model.
Methods
Five-to-six-month-old Göttingen mini-pigs underwent pulmonary artery banding with vascular occluding system. To create the porcine model of chronic pressure-overloaded right heart, vascular occluding system was gradually inflated, over a month, to make pulmonary stenosis to banding velocity >3.0 m/s measured by echocardiography (UCG), and then fixed for another month. Two months after banding, autologous skeletal myoblast sheet was placed on the epicardium of the RV free wall and followed for 2 months. Groups were as follows: control (C, n=5), sheet implantation (S, n=5). Cardiac function was measured using UCG, cardiac computed tomography (CT), and cardiac catheterization (Cath). Two months after sheet implantation, hearts were dissected for histologic analysis.
Results
Before sheet implantation, RV dysfunction was equal in groups; however, 2 months after sheet implantation, RV dysfunction and myocardial ischemia was significantly ameliorated in group S than group C. On CT, RV ejection fraction exacerbation were well controlled in Group S compared to Group C (S 44.9±2.2 vs C 31.9±2.1% [p=0.0042]). UCG and Cath revealed well maintained systolic and diastolic function in Group S compared to Group C (Tei index: S 0.42±0.06 vs C 0.70±0.07 [p=0.0240], Fraction Area Change: S 45.8±7.8 vs C 19.5±1.3% [p=0.0240], Isovolumic Relaxation Time; S 44.3±9.2 vs C 97.3±9.5 ms [p=0.0304]). On C11-Acetate Positron Emission Tomography, myocardial ischemia was more prominent in Group C compared to Group S (K mono-Rest/Stress: S 3.17±0.69 vs C 2.03±0.65 min-1 [p=0.0421], Myocardial Blood Flow-Rest/Stress: S 3.22±0.39 vs C 2.13±0.92 min-1 [p=0.0421]). In histologic analysis, Group S presented less progressed hypertrophic change in periodic acid-Schiff stain (S 13.5±0.9 vs C 18.0±3.0 μg [p=0.0240]), anti-fibrotic changes in picrosirius red stain (S 3.0±0.3 vs C 4.2±0.2% [p=0.0421]), more angiogenesis in CD31 expression (S 18.3±1.5 vs C 10.7±2.8 / 104 μm2 [p=0.0240]), and less production of reactive oxygen species in fluorescent immunostaining (S 5.9±1.7 vs C 18.4±1.7% [p=0.0304]).
Conclusion
Autologous skeletal myoblast sheet transplantation alleviates cardiomyocyte Ischemia and RV dysfunction in a porcine model of pressure-overloaded right heart.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
How to construct massive cardiac tissue and culture it with functional improvement may be crucial as cardiomyogenesis in failed heart. We previously presented that dynamic culture in a rotating wall vessel (RWV) bioreactor could provide a better culture environment for maintenance of the engineered 3D cardiac tissue. However, it is unknown about the effect of the tissue cultured in a RWV bioreactor on engraftment and improvement of function in the distressed rat heart.
Hypothesis
We hypothesized that the engineered 3D cardiac tissue cultured in a RWV bioreactor could improve its engraftment and lead recovery of cardiac function in rat infarction model.
Methods
We made engineered cardiac tissue by seeding 2.0 × 106 human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes on the PLGA fiber sheet. It was cultured in the RWV bioreactor for seven days (RWV group). For the control, static culture has been done. After in vitro assessment, these tissues were transplanted to myocardial infarction model nude rats (sham, control, and RWV group, n=10, respectively) and cardiac performance was evaluated by ultrasonography. Four weeks after transplantation, we evaluated their hearts by histological analysis.
Results
The RWV group demonstrated maturation of cardiomyocytes evidenced by significantly higher expression of Troponin T (TnT), sarcomeric α actinin (SAA), connexin 43 (Cx43) and myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7) than the control by Western blots (TnT; 2.7±1.0 vs. 1.0±0.4, p<0.01, SAA; 2.1±0.7 vs. 1.0±0.2, p<0.01, Cx 43; 2.0±0.6 vs. 1.0±0.1, p<0.05, MYH7; 10.9±2.7 vs. 1.0±0.1, p<0.01). In the culture supernatant, the concentration of cytokines related to angiogenesis was significantly higher in the RWV group than in the control (VEGF; 29.6±7.4 vs. 12.2±4.3pg/ml, p<0.01, HGF; 72.7±9.9 vs. 42.6±5.9pg/ml, p<0.01). Four weeks after transplantation, the left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly improved in the RWV group than in the control (RWV vs. control; 47±4.9 vs. 38±6.9%, p<0.01). On histological analysis, more engineered cardiac tissue survived in the RWV group than in the control (RWV vs. control; 7/10 vs. 3/10, p=0.18). A vascular-like structure double-stained with isolectin B4 and smooth muscle actin was partially observed in the transplanted tissue. LV remodeling exhibiting extracellular collagen deposition (fibrotic area, RWV vs. control; 17±4.3 vs. 24±5.2%, p<0.05) and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy (RWV vs. control; 16±1.7 vs. 18±2.1μm, p<0.05) was significantly attenuated in RWV group than in the control. Neovascularization was significantly noted in the RWV group compared with the control (capillary density, RWV vs. control; 545±113 vs. 356±92, p<0.01).
Conclusion
Functional engineered 3D cardiac tissue cultured in a RWV bioreactor could induce angiogenesis and improved its engraftment, leading significant improvement of cardiac function in rat infarction model.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality in the development of de novo coronary artery disease by using the cholesterol-efflux capacity, a measure of the ability of HDL to promote cholesterol removal from lipid-laden macrophages. Recently, we developed a rapid cell-free assay system to directly evaluate the capacity of HDL to accept additional cholesterol; the measurement of the cholesterol-uptake capacity (CUC) enables HDL functionality to be readily evaluated in our daily practice. However, prognostic implication of CUC measurement at the timing of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear.
Purpose
We aimed to evaluate the association between baseline CUC and revascularization during follow-up in the patients who underwent PCI.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed the patients who underwent PCI with follow-up coronary angiography (CAG) or ischemic-driven revascularization. The patients who had the frozen blood samples of which CUC were measurable at the index PCI and follow-up CAG or revascularization were enrolled. We excluded the patients under hemodialysis.
Results
Among a total of 703 consecutive patients who underwent PCI between Dec 2014 and Mar 2019, we finally enrolled 74 patients who underwent ischemic-driven revascularization (revascularization group) and 183 patients who underwent follow-up CAG without revascularization (non-revascularization group).There were no significant difference in baseline traditional cardiovascular risk factors between the groups. However, the presence of diabetes was significantly more frequent in the revascularization group (63.5% vs 41.0%; P=0.001) than in the non-revascularization group. CUC at the index PCI was significantly lower in the revascularization group than in the non-revascularization group (87.0±19.5 vs 93.9±19.2; P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that impaired HDL functionality assessed by decreased CUC level at the index PCI (odds ratio; 0.984, 95% confidence interval; 0.969–1.000) was independently associated with subsequent revascularization after PCI. Indeed, there was a graded inverse association between increasing tertiles of CUC levels and the incidence of revascularization during a median follow-up of 881 days (Figure). Especially in the subgroup analysis of non-diabetic patients, decreased CUC level at the index PCI was independently associated with subsequent revascularization (odds ratio; 0.947, 95% confidence interval; 0.915–0.981), while not in diabetic population.
Conclusion
Serum CUC level at the index procedure was associated with subsequent revascularization especially in non-diabetic patients who underwent PCI.

Abstract
The host-guest interaction as noncovalent bonds can make polymeric materials tough and flexible based on the reversibility property, which is a promising approach to extend the lifetime of polymeric materials. Supramolecular materials with cyclodextrin and adamantane are prepared by mixing host polymers and guest polymers by planetary ball milling. The toughness of the supramolecular materials prepared by ball milling is approximately 2 to 5 times higher than that of supramolecular materials prepared by casting, which is the conventional method. The materials maintain their mechanical properties during repeated ball milling treatments. They are also applicable as self-healable bulk materials and coatings, and they retain the transparency of the substrate. Moreover, fractured pieces of the materials can be re-adhered within 10 min. Dynamic mechanical analysis, thermal property measurements, small-angle X-ray scattering, and microscopy observations reveal these behaviors in detail. Scars formed on the coating disappear within a few seconds at 60 °C. At the same time, the coating shows scratch resistance due to its good mechanical properties. The ball milling method mixes the host polymer and guest polymer at the nano level to achieve the self-healing and recycling properties.

Abstract
Hydrogels are biocompatible polymer networks; however, they have the disadvantage of having poor mechanical properties. Herein, the mechanical properties of host-guest hydrogels were increased by adding a filler and incorporating other noncovalent interactions. Cellulose was added as a filler to the hydrogels to afford a composite. Citric acid-modified cellulose (CAC) with many carboxyl groups was used instead of conventional cellulose. The preparation began with mixing an acrylamide-based αCD host polymer (p-αCD) and a dodecanoic acid guest polymer (p-AADA) to form supramolecular hydrogels (p-αCD/p-AADA). However, when CAC was directly added to p-αCD/p-AADA to form biocomposite hydrogels (p-αCD/p-AADA/CAC), it showed weaker mechanical properties than p-αCD/p-AADA itself. This was caused by the strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) within the CAC, which prevented the CAC reinforcing p-αCD/p-AADA in p-αCD/p-AADA/CAC. Then, calcium chloride solution (CaCl2) was used to form calcium ion (Ca2+) complexes between the CAC and p-αCD/p-AADA. This approach successfully created supramolecular biocomposite hydrogels assisted by Ca2+ complexes (p-αCD/p-AADA/CAC/Ca2+) with improved mechanical properties relative to p-αCD/p-AADA hydrogels; the toughness was increased 6-fold, from 1 to 6 MJ/m3. The mechanical properties were improved because of the disruption of the intramolecular H-bonding within the CAC by Ca2+ and subsequent complex formation between the carboxyl groups of CAC and p-AADA. This mechanism is a new approach for improving the mechanical properties of hydrogels that can be broadly applied as biomaterials.

Abstract
Many essential cellular processes are regulated by mechanical properties of their microenvironment. Here, we introduce stimuli-responsive composite scaffolds fabricated by three-dimensional (3D) laser lithography to simultaneously stretch large numbers of single cells in tailored 3D microenvironments. The key material is a stimuli-responsive photoresist containing cross-links formed by noncovalent, directional interactions between β-cyclodextrin (host) and adamantane (guest). This allows reversible actuation under physiological conditions by application of soluble competitive guests. Cells adhering in these scaffolds build up initial traction forces of ~80 nN. After application of an equibiaxial stretch of up to 25%, cells remodel their actin cytoskeleton, double their traction forces, and equilibrate at a new dynamic set point within 30 min. When the stretch is released, traction forces gradually decrease until the initial set point is retrieved. Pharmacological inhibition or knockout of nonmuscle myosin 2A prevents these adjustments, suggesting that cellular tensional homeostasis strongly depends on functional myosin motors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscle mass is often mentioned not to reflect muscle strength. For muscle mass assessment skeletal muscle index (SMI) is often used. We have reported that dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived SMI does not change with age in women, whereas the cross-sectional muscle area (CSMA) derived from computed tomography (CT) does. OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to compare CT and DXA for the assessment of muscle tissue. DESIGN AND SETTING Cross-sectional study in the local residents. PARTICIPANTS A total of 1818 subjects (age 40-89 years) randomly selected from community dwellers underwent CT examination of the right mid-thigh to measure the cross-sectional muscle area (CSMA). Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) was measured by DXA. The subjects performed physical function tests such as grip strength, knee extension strength, leg extension strength, and gait speed. The correlation between CT-derived CSMA and DXA-derived SMM along with their association with physical function was examined. RESULTS After controlling for related factors, the partial correlation coefficient of muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) with physical function was larger than that of DXA-derived SMM for gait speed in men (p=0.002) and knee extension strength in women (p=0.03). The partial correlation coefficient of quadriceps (Qc) CSA with physical function was larger than that of DXA-derived SMM for leg extension power in both sexes (p=0.01), gait speed in men (p<0.001), and knee extension strength in women (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Mid-thigh CT-derived CSMA, especially Qc CSA, showed significant associations with grip strength, knee extension strength, and leg extension power, which were equal to or stronger than those of DXA-derived SMM in community-dwelling middle-aged and older Japanese people. The mid-thigh CSMA may be a predictor of mobility disability, and is considered to be useful in the diagnosis of sarcopenia.

Abstract
The introduction of non-covalent bonds is effective for achieving self-healing properties because they can be controlled reversibly. One approach to introduce these bonds into supramolecular materials is use of host-guest interactions. This feature article summarizes the development of supramolecular materials constructed by non-covalent cross-linking through several approaches, such as host-guest interactions between host polymers and guest polymers, 1 : 2-type host-guest interactions, and host-guest interactions from the polymerization of host-guest inclusion complexes. Host-guest interactions show self-healing functions while also enabling stimuli-responsiveness (redox, pH, and temperature). The self-healing function of supramolecular materials is achieved by stress dispersion arising from host-guest interactions when stress is applied. Reversible bonds based on host-guest interactions have tremendous potential to expand the variety of functional materials.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive hydrogels have attracted attention as soft actuators that act similarly to muscles. In this work, hydrogel actuators controlled by host–guest interactions have been developed. The introduction of a 1:1 inclusion complex into a hydrogel is a popular design for achieving a change in cross-linking density. To realize faster and larger deformation properties, the introduction of a 1:2 inclusion complex is effective because the alteration in cross-linking density in a hydrogel with 1:2 complexes is larger than that in a hydrogel with 1:1 complexes. A redox-responsive hydrogel actuator cross-linked with 1:2 inclusion complexes is designed, where γ-cyclodextrin (γCD) and viologens modified with an alkyl chain derivative (VC11) were employed as the host and guest units, respectively. γCD includes two VC11 molecules in its cavity. The obtained γCD–VC11 hydrogel cross-linked with the 1:2 complex showed faster and larger deformation behaviour than the αCD–VC11 and the βCD–VC11 hydrogels cross-linked with a 1:1 complex. The deformation ratio and response speed of the γCD–VC11 hydrogel, which forms a supramolecular cross-linking structure by stimuli, are 3 and 11 times larger, respectively, than those of our previous hydrogel consisting of a βCD/ferrocene 1:1 inclusion complex. A hydrogel actuator with a 1:2 host–guest complex controlled by redox stimuli has been developed to realize faster and larger deformation.![]()

Abstract
Abstract
Background
High-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) reportedly enhances CXCR4-positive bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) recruitment to damaged tissue to promote tissue regeneration.
Purpose
Our aim of this study is to evaluate whether systemic administration of HMGB1 might promote tissue repair in a rat myocardial infarction (MI) model.
Methods
We prepared 26 MI model rats with high ligation of the left coronary artery. Two weeks later, HMGB1 (3 mg/kg/day) or phosphate-buffered saline (control: 3 mL/kg/day) was administered for 4 days via femoral vein. Cardiac performance was evaluated by ultrasonography, left ventricular (LV) remodeling via immunostaining. We then used immunostaining to examine MSC recruitment to damaged tissue in green fluorescent protein bone marrow transplantation (GFP-BMT) model rats, and also performed intravital imaging using two-photon microscopy to visualize BM-cells recruitment in real time.
Results
Compared with control rats, there was a significant improvement in the left ventricular ejection fraction of the HMGB1 group (HMGB1 vs. control: 48.6% ± 5.5% vs. 33.6% ± 5.4%; p<0.01) at 4 weeks after each administration. LV remodeling, characterized by interstitial fibrosis, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, and a decrease of capillary density, was significantly attenuated in the HMGB1 group compared with control rats. On QT-PCR analysis, VEGF mRNA expression was significantly higher in the HMGB1 group than in the control (border zone; 1.6±0.6 vs. 1.1±0.2; p=0.02, septal zone; 1.1±0.1 vs. 0.9±0.1; p<0.01). In GFP-BMT rats, GFP+/PDGFR+ cells were significantly mobilized to the border zone in the HMGB1 group compared with the control (1331±197 vs. 615±45 /mm2; p<0.01), leading to formation of newly developed vasculature (Figure 1). In intravital imaging, more GFP+ cells were mobilized to the infarction area in the HMGB1 group than in the control, which was further enhanced at 12h later. Additionally, SDF-1 expression in the peri-infarction area increased significantly in MI rats compared with normal rats (MI vs. normal; 2.1±0.4 vs. 0.9±0.1; p<0.01), in where some cell-adhesions of vascular endothelial cells were destroyed.
Conclusions
Systemic administration of HMGB1 mobilized BM-MSCs to the damaged myocardium via the SDF-1/CXCR4 signaling complex. Those BM-MSCs might migrate to extracellular matrix in the border zone via the gap of each endothelial cell, leading to induction of angiogenesis and reduced fibrosis.

Abstract
Objective: While there is an association between successful eradication of Helicobacter pylori (HP) and reflux esophagitis (RE), risk factors associated with RE remain obscure. The aim of this study is to determine risk factors associated with the development of RE after HP eradication.Materials and methods: Among all patients treated with successful HP eradication from 2008 to 2016, we retrospectively analyzed those who were free from RE at initial esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and who were followed up with EGD after eradication. Patients were classified according to the presence or absence of RE at the follow-up EGD. RE was defined as mucosal breaks proximal to the squamous-columnar junction. Demographic data, underlying diseases, medications and endoscopic findings at the initial EGD were compared between patients with and without RE.Results: Among 1575 patients, 142 (9.0%) had RE at the follow-up EGD. The time interval from HP eradication until EGD ranged from 4 to 24 months. The endoscopic grade of RE was higher in males than in females. Multivariate analysis revealed that male sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.51; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-2.24), body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 (OR, 2.91; 95% CI, 2.00-4.22), use of calcium channel blockers (OR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.12-2.55), and hiatal hernia (OR, 3.46; 95% CI, 2.41-5.00) were associated with the development of RE.Conclusions: Calcium channel blocker use was found to be a risk factor for the development of RE after eradication of HP.
