Abstract
PURPOSE It has been reported that cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) measured by near infrared spectroscopy is low in dialysis patients. We compared the rSO2 values of dialysis patients before living donor kidney transplantation and their donors as controls by using three spectroscopes that utilize different principals, the INVOS 5100C (spatially resolved spectroscopy), FORE-SIGHT ELITE (modified Beer-Lambert law) and tNIRS-1 (time-resolved spectroscopy). METHODS Before induction of anesthesia, the sensors of one of the three spectroscopes were placed on the forehead and rSO2 values were recorded followed by the same measurement using the other two spectroscopes. The primary objective was to compare the rSO2 values of the dialysis patients and controls using the three spectroscopes by the unpaired t test. Then we compared the rSO2 values among the spectroscopes in both dialysis patients and controls by one-way ANOVA. Finally, we examined the relations between the rSO2 values and the physiological values by using the Pearson correlation coefficient. RESULTS Fifteen pairs of dialysis patients and controls were studied. With the INVOS 5100 C, the values of the dialysis patients (59.7 ± 9.7% (mean ± standard deviation) were 13% lower than those of the controls (73.3 ± 6.9%) (P < 0.01). With the tNIRS-1, the values were 57.8 ± 4.8% in the dialysis patients and 63.3 ± 3.5% in the controls (P < 0.01). Almost no differences were observed with the FORE-SIGHT ELITE (71.6 ± 4.9% [dialysis patients] vs. 70.8 ± 4.3% [Controls]) (P = 0.62). Among the spectroscopes, the values were significantly different in both dialysis patients and controls. For the INVOS 5100C and tNIRS-1, correlation coefficients between rSO2 values and blood Hb and serum Alb were more than 0.5. CONCLUSIONS The rSO2 values for comparisons between the dialysis patients and the controls were different according to differences of the principles of the near infrared spectroscopes. In the INVOS 5100C and tNIRS-1, rSO2 values may be related to blood Hb and serum Alb.

Abstract
Palliative surgery is often performed in the treatment of congenital heart disease. Two representative palliative procedures are the systemic pulmonary shunt and pulmonary artery banding. Dramatic changes in cerebral hemodynamics may occur in these operations due to changes in the pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio and systemic oxygenation. However, there seem to be almost no studies evaluating them. Accordingly, we evaluated cerebral perfusion by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography and cerebral oxygenation by near infrared spectroscopy during these procedures. In the post hoc analysis of a previous prospective observational study, cerebral blood flow velocities of the middle cerebral artery measured by transcranial Doppler were compared between the start and end of surgery as were the pulsatility index and resistance index. The cerebral oxygenation values were also compared between the start and end of surgery. Twenty-two infants with systemic pulmonary shunt and 20 infants with pulmonary artery banding were evaluated. There were no significant differences of the flow velocities between the start and end of surgery in either procedure. The pulsatility index significantly increased after pulmonary artery banding, which may compete with the increase in cerebral perfusion due to the increase in systemic blood flow. The cerebral oxygenation decreased in both procedures, possibly due to an increase in body temperature. Arterial oxygen saturation was almost the same before and after both procedures. Contrary to our expectation, the changes in cerebral hemodynamics in the palliative operations were small if the management of physiological indices such as arterial oxygen saturation was properly performed during the procedures.

Abstract
PURPOSE Remimazolam is a new ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine with unknown effects on cerebral circulation. We measured total cerebral hemoglobin concentrations, which reflect cerebral blood volume (CBV), and cerebral oxygen saturation, using time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy, which can measure the absolute values of cerebral hemoglobin concentrations. We also measured cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) in the middle cerebral artery using transcranial Doppler as an indicator of cerebral blood flow (CBF). We did so to examine the effect of remimazolam on cerebral circulation in humans, as assessed CBV, CBF, and cerebral oxygen saturation. METHODS This was a prospective, observational study. Fifteen patients without serious complications scheduled for general anesthesia were recruited. We measured total cerebral hemoglobin concentrations, CBFV, and cerebral oxygen saturation throughout the anesthetic induction course with remimazolam. RESULTS Total cerebral hemoglobin concentrations did not change during the process (p = 0.51). In contrast, the mean CBFV was reduced by 11% (significant, p = 0.04). The drop in mean blood pressure following the induction of anesthesia was 17%; however, it was within the range of cerebrovascular autoregulation. Moreover, cerebral oxygen saturation increased by 4% (statistically significant, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS We found that anesthetic induction with remimazolam did not alter CBV and reduced CBF in uncomplicated patients.

Abstract
Recently, monitoring of cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2) has become widespread in pediatric cardiac surgery. Our previous study reported that mean blood pressure (mBP) was the major contributor to ScO2 throughout cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in children weighing under 10 kg. We speculated that this result might be attributable to incomplete cerebral autoregulation in such young children. Accordingly, our hypothesis is that the relationship between ScO2 and the physiological parameters may change according to the growth of the children. ScO2 was measured with an INVOS 5100C (Somanetics, Troy, MI). Random-effects analysis was employed with ScO2 as a dependent variable, and seven physiological parameters (mBP, central venous pressure, nasopharyngeal temperature, SaO2, hematocrit, PaCO2, and pH) were entered as independent covariates. The analysis was performed during the pre-CPB, CPB, and post-CPB periods by dividing the patients into two groups: infants (Infant Group) and children who were more than 1 year old (Child Group). The Infant and Child Groups consisted of 28 and 21 patients. In the random-effects analysis, mBP was the major contributor to ScO2 during CPB in both groups. During the pre-CPB period, the effect of mBP was strongest in the Infant group. However, its effect was second to that of SaO2 in the Child Group. During the post-CPB period, SaO2 and mBP still affected ScO2 in the Infant group. However, the dominant contributors were unclear in the Child Group. Cerebral autoregulation may be immature in infants. In addition, it may be impaired during CPB even after 1 year of age.

Abstract
Purpose Studies in adults have reported that video laryngoscope is more useful than direct laryngoscope when training less experienced anesthesiologists. However, whether this is true for infants remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate whether the use of video laryngoscope would result in smaller differences in success rate according to anesthesiologists’ expertise than those in direct laryngoscope. Methods Medical records and video recordings from the operating room of patients aged < 1 year who underwent non-cardiac surgery between March 2019 and September 2021 were reviewed. Tracheal intubations between April 8, 2020, and June 20, 2021, were excluded due to the shortage of video laryngoscope blades during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rates of first-time tracheal intubation success were compared by years of anesthesia experience and initial intubation device. Results In total, 125 of 175 tracheal intubations were analyzed (direct laryngoscope group, n = 72; video laryngoscope group, n = 53). The first-time tracheal intubation success rate increased with years of experience as an anesthesiologist in the direct laryngoscope group (odds ratio OR 1.70, 95% confidence interval CI 1.15, 2.49; P = 0.0070), but not the video laryngoscope group (OR 0.99, 95% CI 0.74, 1.35; P = 0.99). Conclusion The differences in success rate according to the anesthesiologists’ years of experience were non-significant when using video laryngoscope in infants, compared to those in direct laryngoscope.

Abstract
The risk factors and the appropriate interventions for perioperative junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) in congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery have not been sufficiently investigated despite the severity of this complication. This study aimed to examine the risk factors and interventions for perioperative JET. From 2013 to 2020, 1062 surgeries for CHD (median patient age: 4.3 years, range 0.0-53.0) with or without a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were performed at Hokkaido University, Japan. We investigated the correlation between perioperative JET morbidity factors, such as age, genetic background, CPB/aortic cross-clamp (ACC) time, use of inotropes and dexmedetomidine, STAT score, and laboratory indices. The efficacy of JET therapies was also evaluated. Of the 1062 patients, 86 (8.1%) developed JET. The 30-day mortality was significantly high in JET groups (7% vs. 0.8%). The independent risk factors for JET included heterotaxy syndrome [odds ratio (OR) 4.83; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.18-10.07], ACC time exceeding 90 min (OR 1.90; CI 1.27-2.39), and the use of 3 or more inotropes (OR 4.11; CI 3.02-5.60). The combination of anti-arrhythmic drugs and a temporary pacemaker was the most effective therapy for intractable JET. Perioperative JET after CHD surgery remains a common cause of mortality. Inotrope use was a risk factor for developing JET overall surgery risk. In short ACC surgeries, heterotaxy syndrome could increase the risk of JET, which could develop even without inotrope use in long ACC surgeries. It is crucial not to delay the treatment in cases with unstable hemodynamics caused by this arrhythmia. It is recommended to reduce numbers not dose of inotropes.

Abstract
In an emulsion-counter hybrid experiment performed at J-PARC, a Ξ^{-} absorption event was observed which decayed into twin single-Λ hypernuclei. Kinematic calculations enabled a unique identification of the reaction process as Ξ^{-}+^{14}N→_{Λ}^{10}Be+_{Λ}^{5}He. For the binding energy of the Ξ^{-} hyperon in the Ξ^{-}-^{14}N system a value of 1.27±0.21 MeV was deduced. The energy level of Ξ^{-} is likely a nuclear 1p state which indicates a weak ΞN-ΛΛ coupling.

Abstract
Background Aging and pre-existing cognitive impairment are considered to be independent risk factors for sepsis-associated encephalopathy. This study aimed to investigate the manner in which aging and pre-existing cognitive dysfunction modified neuroinflammation, synaptic plasticity, and basal synaptic transmission during the acute phase of sepsis using Senescence-Accelerated Mice Prone 8 (SAMP8) and Senescence-Accelerated Resistant Mice 1 (SAMR1). Methods We used 6-month-old SAMP8 and SAMR1. Sepsis was induced using cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). The animal's hippocampi and blood were collected for subsequent investigations 24 h after surgery. Results Long-term potentiation (LTP) was impaired in the Shaffer-collateral (SC)-CA1 pathway of the hippocampus in SAMP8 without surgery compared to the age-matched SAMR1, which was reflective of cognitive dysfunction in SAMP8. CLP impaired the SC-CA1 LTP in SAMR1 compared to the sham-operated controls, but not in SAMP8. Moreover, CLP decreased the input-output curve and increased the paired-pulse ratio in SAMP8, suggesting the reduced probability of basal synaptic transmission due to sepsis. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that CLP elevated IL-1β levels, especially in the hippocampi of SAMP8 with microglial activation. In vivo peripheral IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) administration in the septic SAMP8 revealed that the neuroinflammation was not correlated with the peripheral elevation of IL-1β. Ex vivo IL-1ra administration to the hippocampus ameliorated LTP impairment in SAMR1 and the reduction in basal transmission in SAMP8 after sepsis. Conclusions The mechanism of the modulation of synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity by the acute stage of sepsis differed between SAMR1 and SAMP8. These changes were related to centrally derived IL-1 receptor-mediated signaling and were accompanied by microglial activation, especially in SAMP8.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is a potentially reversible dysfunction of the left ventricle (LV) caused by tachyarrhythmias. Early recognition of TIC and treatment of the culprit arrhythmia using pharmacological therapy or catheter ablation results in the recovery of LV function. For atrial flutter (AFL)-induced TIC, rhythm control strategy, such as catheter ablation has been recommended. On the other hand, the efficacy of rate control strategy has remained unclear due to the difficulty of control with arrhythmic medications. However, not all patients can take rhythm control treatments due to their backgrounds.
Purpose
The aim of this cohort study was to establish whether rate control strategy using β-blocker is as effective as invasive rhythm control strategy for the recovery of LV function in patients with TIC due to AFL.
Methods
We prospectively assessed 47 symptomatic non-ischaemic heart failure (HF) patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 50% and suspected TIC induced by persistent AFL. Patients were divided into rhythm control strategy group (n=22, treatment: catheter ablation, electrical cardioversion) and rate control strategy group (n=25, treatment: bisoprolol). As a sub-group study, the rate control strategy group was divided into the strict rate control group (n=12, average heart rate below 80 bpm) and lenient rate control group (n=13, average heart rate below 110 bpm). The primary outcome was the recovery of LV function, defined as an increase of LVEF over 20% or to a value of 55% or greater after 6 months.
Results
There were no significant differences in baseline AFL heart rate, New York Heart Association class, LVEF, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and brain natriuretic peptide between the two groups. A greater proportion of patients who showed the recovery of LVEF after 6 months belonged to the rhythm control strategy group (90.9% vs. 52.0%, p=0.004). The cumulative incidence of HF re-hospitalization was significantly higher in the rate control strategy group than in the rhythm control strategy group (hazard ratio: 4.90, 95% CI: 1.06–22.69). As a result of sub-group study, LVEF recovery was greater in the strict rate control group compared to the lenient rate control group (75.0% vs. 30.8%, p=0.027)
Conclusion
Rate control strategy was significantly inferior to rhythm control strategy for the recovery of LVEF in TIC patients with persistent AFL. Rhythm control should be the first choice in the management of TIC with AFL, and strict rate control should be an alternative if rhythm control is not available.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The right external iliac vein (REIV) is often used for portal vein reconstruction in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy with portal-superior mesenteric vein resection. We report a case of cardiac arrest caused by acute lower leg compartment syndrome as a result of REIV resection. CASE PRESENTATION A 53-year-old man underwent pancreatoduodenectomy with portal vein resection. Hyperkalemia progressed during surgery due to intestinal reperfusion injury, which caused recurrent ventricular arrhythmia required for cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. The surgery was discontinued after resuscitation, and portal vein reconstruction using the REIV was performed 2 days post-operatively. Acute compartment syndrome was diagnosed immediately following the surgery. Hyperkalemia progressed, causing pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Emergent fasciotomy was performed, but right leg dysfunction persisted after discharge. CONCLUSION REIV resection can cause lower-extremity acute compartment syndrome. The status, including intracompartmental pressure, of the lower extremity should be carefully observed after REIV resection during and after surgery.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumping (IABP) was widespread used in cases of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) at daily clinical situation in Japan, even though the efficacy of IABP in AMI patients with cardiogenic shock was not proved. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of IABP use in ACS patients in Japan.
Methods
We investigated 2-year all-cause-mortality of 2,660 enrolled ACS patients including 358 patients with IABP and 2,302 patients without IABP from Mie ACS registry.
Results
We compared a 1:1 propensity score-matched cohort of 426 ACS patients with or without IABP (n=213, respectively). 2-year mortality was significantly higher in patients with IABP than without IABP (p=0.02, Figure A). In addition, IABP usage was independent predictor of mortality with hazard ratio of 1.6 by multivariate analysis. However, 2-year mortality was not statistically different between 2 groups only when analyzed patients with shock (p=0.60, Figure B).
Figure 1
Conclusion
IABP was not commonly recommended in ACS patients. However, IABP was might as well used in some situation especially in shock.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiovascular deaths are more frequently in hemodialysis (HD) patients compared to general population. However, difference of prognosis of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with or without HD were not well evaluated.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and prognostic characteristics of ACS patients with HD compared to that of ACS patients without HD.
Methods
We investigated 3427 ACS patients including 63 HD and 3364 non-HD patients between 2013 and 2017 using date from Mie ACS registry, a retrospective and multicenter registry. The primary outcome was defined as all-cause mortality.
Results
HD patients showed significantly higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus, past treatment of coronary artery disease, history of myocardial infarction and Killip ≥2 compared to non-HD patients (p<0.05, respectively). During the follow-up periods (median 719 days), 425 (12.4%) patients experienced all-cause death. HD patients demonstrated the higher all-cause mortality rate compared to that of non-HD patients during the follow-up (11.9% versus 38.1%, p<0.001, chi square). Kaplan Meier survival curves demonstrated that HD and non-HD patients with Killip 1 showed similar 30-day mortality, and Killip ≥2 patients also showed similar prognosis (Left side of figure). On the other hand, all cause mortality at 2 years were higher in Killip 1 HD patients compared to Killip 1 non-HD patients and similar between Killip 1 HD patients and Killip ≥2 non-HD patients in the 30 days landmark analysis (Right side of figure). In addition, cox regression analyses for all cause mortality demonstrated that HD was a strongest independent prognostic factor not of 30-day mortality but of after 30-day mortality with hazard ratio of 4.09 (95% confidential interval: 2.32–7.21, p<0.001).
Figure 1
Conclusion
Careful management are required in chronic phase for ACS patients with HD even in Killip 1 classification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Donor age for intestinal transplantation (ITx) is somewhat younger than that for other solid organs. Clear criteria for adequate donors have not been established. There is a donor scarcity for ITx in Japan due to the shortage of young donors. METHODS We reviewed outcomes associated with ITx in Japan based on donor age for cadaveric and living donation. RESULTS Standardized report forms were sent to all known ITx programs, asking for information on ITxs performed between 1996 and 2016. All programs responded. Patient and graft survival estimates were obtained using the Kaplan-Meier method. Five institutions provided data on 27 grafts in 24 patients. There were 14 cadaveric and 13 living donor transplants. Median donor age for ITxs was 40 (range, 17-60) years. Graft survival at 5 years was 66% for patients >40 years old (n = 18) and 47% for those <40 years old (n = 9), not a statistically significant difference (P = .49). Graft survival at 5 years was 60% in those >50 years old (n = 5) and 57% for those <50 years old (n = 22), again not a significant difference (P = .27). CONCLUSION There is no difference in survival between for those with donor age <40 vs >40 years. Donor age for ITx can be extended from >40 to up to 50 years, which may help to mitigate the donor shortage. It will be necessary to clarify the donor criteria for ITx through accumulation of further data on ITx.

Abstract
Okinawa Island, located in Southern Japan, has a higher prevalence rate of hepatitis C virus subtype 1a (HCV-1a) infection than that in mainland Japan. Okinawa has a history of US military occupation after World War II. To elucidate the transmission history of HCV-1a in Okinawa, 26 whole-genome sequences were obtained from 29 patients during 2011-2016. Phylogenetic trees were reconstructed to identify the origin and characteristics of HCV-1a in Okinawa with epidemiological information. A phylogenetic tree based on whole-genome sequencing revealed that all of the samples were located below the US branches. Additionally, we identified one cluster comprised of 17 strains (Okinawa, n = 16; United States, n = 1). The majority of the patients in this cluster were people who inject drugs (PWID), indicating the presence of a people who inject drugs (PWID) cluster. Subsequently, Bayesian analyses were employed to reveal viral population dynamics. Intriguingly, a phylodynamic analysis uncovered a substantial increase in effective population size of HCV-1a from 1965 to 1980 and a slight increase in mid-2000, which were associated with an increase in illicit drug use in Okinawa. The estimated divergence time of the PWID cluster was 1967.6 (1964.2-1971.1). These findings suggest that HCV-1a was introduced into Okinawa from the United States in the late 1960s, coincident with the Vietnam War. Subsequently, HCV-1a might have spread among the Japanese population with the spread of injecting drug use. Our study provides an understanding of HCV transmission dynamics in Okinawa, as well as the key role of PWID in HCV transmission.

Abstract
Ultrasound that is widely used in medical diagnosis has drawn growing interests as a noninvasive means of neuromodulation. Focused pulsed ultrasound (FPUS) effectively modulates neural encoding and transmission in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) with unclear mechanism of action, which is further confounded by contradictory experimental outcomes from recordings of compound action potentials (CAP). To address that, we developed a novel in vitro set up to achieve simultaneous single-unit recordings from individual mouse sciatic nerve axon and systematically studied the neuromodulation effects of FPUS on individual axon. Unlike previous CAP recordings, our single-unit recordings afford superior spatial and temporal resolution to reveal the subtle but consistent effects of ultrasonic neuromodulation. Our results indicate that, 1) FPUS did not evoke action potentials directly in mouse sciatic nerve at all the tested intensities (spatial peak temporal average intensity, ISPTA of 0.91 to 28.2 W/cm2); 2) FPUS increases the nerve conduction velocity (CV) in both fast-conducting A- and slow-conducting C- type axons with effects more pronounced at increased stimulus duration and intensity; and 3) effects of increased CV is reversible and cannot be attributed to the change of local temperature. Our results support existing theories of non-thermal mechanisms underlying ultrasonic neuromodulation with low-intensity FPUS, including NICE, flexoelectricity, and solition models. This work also provides a solid experimental basis to further advance our mechanistic understandings of ultrasonic neuromodulation in the PNS.

Abstract
A 57-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for lumbago, weight loss and weakness of her right lower extremity. Leukocytosis was evident with marked eosinophilia (65.5 % = 46,000/mm3), and the chest roentgenogram showed diffuse reticular shadows throughout both lung fields and a left pleural effusion. The pleural effusion contained 22.4 % eosinophils with no immature cells. Biopsy of a thumb-sized mass on the chest wall revealed a T-cell lymphoma of pleomorphic type. The diffuse pulmonary shadow was diagnosed as chronic eosinophilic pneumonia by autopsy. This was a relatively rare case of T-cell lymphoma, in which an eosinophilic pneumonia and eosinophilic pleural effusion were observed.

Abstract
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is a key molecule in the inflammatory responses elicited during infection and injury. It exerts local effects on synaptic plasticity by binding to IL-1 receptors that are expressed at high levels in the hippocampus. We examined the effects of IL-1β on synaptic plasticity in different hippocampal regions in acute mouse brain slices by measuring long-term potentiation (LTP). IL-1β (1 ng/mL) was applied for 30 min before LTP was induced with high-frequency stimulation (HFS). LTP was significantly impaired by either IL-1β application to the Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses or the associational/commissural (A/C) fiber-CA3 synapses, which are both dependent on N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor activation. However, mossy fiber-CA3 LTP, which is expressed presynaptically in an NMDA-independent manner, was not impaired by IL-1β. Our results demonstrate that IL-1β exerts variable effects on LTP at different kinds of synapses, indicating that IL-1β has synapse-specific effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
Procalcitonin (PCT) and presepsin (PSEP) are useful biomarkers for diagnosing sepsis; however, elevated PCT and PSEP levels may be observed in conditions other than sepsis. We hypothesised that PCT and PSEP levels could increase after severe traumatic injuries. Trauma patients with an Injury Severity Score of ≥16 from October 2013 to September 2015 were enrolled in our study. We examined PCT and PSEP levels and their positive rates on days 0 and 1. PCT and PSEP levels on days 0 and 1 were compared. Risk factors for increasing sepsis biomarker levels were identified by multivariate logistic regression analyses. In this study, 75 patients were included. PCT levels on days 0 and 1 were 0.1±0.4 and 1.8±6.3 ng/ml, respectively (P=0.02). PSEP levels on days 0 and 1 were 221±261 and 222±207 pg/ml, respectively (P=0.98). As per multivariate logistic regression analyses, packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusion was the only independent risk factor for higher PCT levels on day 1 (P=0.04). Using PCT to diagnose sepsis in trauma patients on day 1 requires caution. PRBC transfusion was found to be a risk factor for increasing PCT levels. On the other hand, PSEP levels were not affected by trauma during the early phases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block and local anesthetic infiltration are the standard options to improve postoperative pain for children undergoing surgery with a midline incision. However, there is no study comparing the effect of ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block with local anesthetic infiltration for children undergoing laparoscopic surgery. AIMS The aim of this trial was to compare the onset of ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block with that of local anesthetic infiltration for laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure in children. METHODS We performed an observer-blinded, randomized, prospective trial. Enrolled patients were assigned to either an ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block group or a local anesthetic infiltration group. The ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block group (n = 17) received ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block with 0.2 ml·kg-1 of 0.375% ropivacaine per side in the posterior rectus sheath compartment. The local anesthetic infiltration group (n = 17) received local anesthetic infiltration with 0.2 ml·kg-1 of 0.75% ropivacaine. The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) pain scores were recorded at 0, 30, 60 min after arrival at the postanesthesia care unit. RESULTS Of the 37 patients enrolled in this study, 34 completed the study protocol. A significant difference in the pain scale between the ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block group and local anesthetic infiltration group was found at 0 min (median: 0, interquartile range [IQR]: 0-1.5, vs median: 1, IQR 0-5, confidence interval of median [95% CI]: 0-3, P = 0.048), but no significant difference was found at 30 min (median: 1, IQR: 0-4 vs median: 6, IQR: 0-7, 95% CI: 0-5, P = 0.061), or 60 min (median: 0, IQR: 0-2 vs median: 1, IQR: 0-3, 95% CI: -1 to 1, P = 0.310). No significant difference was found in anesthesia time between the ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block and local anesthetic infiltration groups. No procedure-related complications were observed in either group. CONCLUSION Ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block is a quicker way to control postoperative pain for pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic extraperitoneal closure than local anesthetic infiltration, and thus may provide a clinical benefit.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Regeneration of partial liver grafts is critical for successful living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), especially in adult recipients. The purpose of this study was to investigate the intraoperative hemodynamic changes in partial liver grafts and characterize their potential impact on post-transplant liver regeneration in LDLT. METHODS We examined the portal venous flow (PVF) and hepatic arterial flow (HAF) to partial liver grafts by means of ultrasonic transit time flowmeter of donors immediately before graft retrieval and of the corresponding recipients after vascular reconstruction in 48 LDLT cases. We evaluated post-transplant liver regeneration according to the changes in graft liver volume between the time of transplantation and the 7th post-transplant day. RESULTS There was a significant increase in PVF to the partial liver grafts in recipients (rPVF) compared with that in donors. In contrast, graft HAF in recipients significantly decreased compared with that in donors. The rPVF inversely correlated with graft weight (GW)-recipient body weight ratio (GRWR), whereas HAF volume showed no significant correlation. The rPVF/GW positively correlated with the rate of liver regeneration (GRR), which inversely correlated with GRWR. The rPVF/GW was significantly higher, and GRR tended to be larger in the small graft group than in the non-small graft group. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative portal hemodynamic changes in partial liver grafts strongly affect their post-transplant regeneration. In particular, in small liver grafts, an immediate and remarkable increase in graft PVF may contribute to rapid liver regeneration after LDLT if the increased PVF remains within a safe range.

Abstract
AIM Progranulin (PGRN) is a novel adipocytokine with anti-inflammatory effects in vascular cells. The aim of this study was to clarify the effects of PGRN on reactivity of isolated blood vessel. METHODS Isometric contraction of rat isolated superior mesenteric artery was measured. RESULTS Pre-treatment with PGRN (10-100 ng mL-1 , 30 min) had no effect on noradrenaline- or 5-hydroxytriptamine-induced contraction. On the other hand, pre-treatment with PGRN (100 ng mL-1 ) augmented acetylcholine (ACh; 30 nm)-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation. Pre-treatment with PGRN (100 ng mL-1 ) augmented ACh (10 μm)-induced nitric oxide (NO)-mediated relaxation in the presence of indomethacin (10 μm), a cyclooxygenase inhibitor, and tetraethyl ammonium (10 mm), a non-selective potassium channel blocker. In contrast, pre-treatment with PGRN (100 ng mL-1 ) had no effect on ACh-induced endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor-mediated relaxation. Pre-treatment with PGRN (100 ng mL-1 ) had no effect on ACh (10 μm, 1 min)-induced endothelial NO synthase phosphorylation (at Ser1177) as determined by Western blotting. Pre-treatment with PGRN (100 ng mL-1 ) augmented an NO donor, sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 30 nm-1 μm)- but not a membrane-permeable cGMP analogue, 8-bromo-cGMP-induced relaxation. In the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (100 μm), a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, pre-treatment with PGRN (100 ng mL-1 ) increased SNP (30 nm, 5 min)-induced cGMP production as determined by enzyme immunoassay. CONCLUSION We for the first time demonstrate that PGRN augments ACh-induced NO-mediated relaxation through the increases of cGMP production in smooth muscle. These results indicate PGRN as a possible pharmacotherapeutic target against cardiovascular diseases including obesity-related hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES More than two decades have passed since the first living donor liver transplantation was performed in Japan in 1989. There are many reports about problems in adherence to taking medication and medical follow-ups in children who received liver transplants, because there is no transition strategy for those children and parents or guardians. The objective of this study is to measure the effect of nature and outdoor activity to improve children's medical adherence. METHODS We recruited participants from 9-year-old children who are attending the outpatient liver transplant clinic in a stable condition (no event such as rejection or surgical procedure within 6 months). We took participants to a snow camp and measured its effect by using the IKIRU CHIKARA (IKR) tool, which contain 28 items divided into 3 categories: psychosocial ability, moral fitness, and physical ability. Children were tested on three occasions, before, just after, and 1 month after the camp. RESULTS Eight patients participated in the snow camp and 7 patients were eligible for the study. The average age was 12.6 with a range 10 to 17 years. There were 3 girls and 4 boys. The average IKR scores before, just after, and 1 month after the camp were 127.9, 131.5, and 126.6, respectively. CONCLUSION An outdoor activity such as a snow camp can be safely conducted, and it is an acceptable option to incorporate within a pediatric liver transplant program. There were no significant changes in IKR scores during this short observation. Longer observation is needed to measure the effect of nature and outdoor activities.

Abstract
Self-regulation between structure and turbulence, which is a fundamental process in the complex system, has been widely regarded as one of the central issues in modern physics. A typical example of that in magnetically confined plasmas is the Low confinement mode to High confinement mode (L-H) transition, which is intensely studied for more than thirty years since it provides a confinement improvement necessary for the realization of the fusion reactor. An essential issue in the L-H transition physics is the mechanism of the abrupt "radial" electric field generation in toroidal plasmas. To date, several models for the L-H transition have been proposed but the systematic experimental validation is still challenging. Here we report the systematic and quantitative model validations of the radial electric field excitation mechanism for the first time, using a data set of the turbulence and the radial electric field having a high spatiotemporal resolution. Examining time derivative of Poisson's equation, the sum of the loss-cone loss current and the neoclassical bulk viscosity current is found to behave as the experimentally observed radial current that excites the radial electric field within a few factors of magnitude.

Abstract
Allergic airway inflammation is driven by the recognition of inhaled allergen by T helper type 2 (Th2) cells in the airway and lung. Allergen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) can strongly reduce airway inflammation, however, the mechanism of their inhibitory activity is not fully defined. We used mouse models to show that allergen-specific CTLs reduced early cytokine production by Th2 cells in lung, and their subsequent accumulation and production of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13. In addition, treatment with specific CTLs also increased the proportion of caspase(+) dendritic cells (DCs) in mediastinal lymph node (MLN), and decreased the numbers of CD103(+) and CD11b(+) DCs in the lung. This decrease required expression of the cytotoxic mediator perforin in CTLs and of the appropriate MHC-antigen ligand on DCs, suggesting that direct CTL-DC contact was necessary. Lastly, lung imaging experiments revealed that in airway-challenged mice XCR1-GFP(+) DCs, corresponding to the CD103(+) DC subset, and XCR1-GFP(-) CD11c(+) cells, which include CD11b(+) DCs and alveolar macrophages, both clustered in the areas surrounding the small airways and were closely associated with allergen-specific CTLs. Thus, allergen-specific CTLs reduce allergic airway inflammation by depleting CD103(+) and CD11b(+) DC populations in the lung, and may constitute a mechanism through which allergic immune responses are regulated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the impact of age and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on cerebral autoregulation in pediatric patients for the cardiac surgery with near-infrared spectroscopy. METHODS This retrospective study was conducted with 67 children undergoing closure of atrial or ventricular septal defects with CPB. The regression coefficient ((see symbol)regional cerebral oxygenation index ((see symbol)SO2)/ mean arterial blood pressure (mABP)) for each patient was calculated by simple regression analysis, assuming that higher regression coefficients indicate less functional cerebral autoregulation. In addition, to determine the vital parameters affecting rSO2 values during CPB, we analyzed the data from on-line continuous blood gas monitor with random effects-mixed model. RESULTS The regression coefficients were frequently high among younger children (0-4 years), suggesting that the cerebral autoregulation was immature. Although regression coefficient values in younger children remained high through the operation, those in older children (5-14 years) increased significantly only during CPB, suggesting that cerebral autoregulation was dysfunctional during CPB. With random effects-mixed model, we revealed that mABP had the most significant effect on rSO2 values during CPB. CONCLUSIONS Cerebral autoregulation in younger children is immature. Moreover, it does not work during CPB even in older children, and clinicians must ensure perfusion pressure carefully during CPB in pediatric patients.

Abstract
A 58-year-old man with no history of cardiac disease was scheduled for a cerebral aneurysm clipping surgery. Anesthesia was administered with propofol, rocuronium, fentanyl, and remifentanil. At the end of the surgery, extubation was performed 3 min after the administration of 200 mg sugammadex, along with a simultaneous blood-pressure decrease with ST elevation on lead II. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was per- formed owing to the occurrence of lethal arrhythmia, and the patient was successfully resuscitated. Subsequent emergent coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries. Twelve days after the first surgery, a tracheostomy was performed owing to persistent disturbance of consciousness. Anesthesia was administered with sevoflurane, fentanyl, and rocuronium. Sugammadex 200 mg was administered after the insertion of a tracheal cannula, and 5 min later, the blood pressure were gradually decreased with ST depression on lead V5. Finally, cardiopulmonary resuscitation was required, and the patient recovered again. An acetylcholine provocation test performed later showed positive results. We suspect sugammadex to be the cause of coronary vasospasm, because the time courses of the two cardiac arrest episodes after sugammadex administration were very similar. Therefore, clinicians should consider sugammadex as one of the causative agents of cardiac arrest in the operating room.

Abstract
Intestinal motility disorders are a major cause of intestinal failure. Severe cases such as idiopathic pseudo-obstruction represent life-threatening illnessed. Intestinal transplantation is a treatment for severe motility disorders with irreversible intestinal failure. However, the prevalence of severe motility disorders is unknown. We performed a national survey to identify patients with intestinal motility disorders who require an intestinal transplant. The national survey of 302 institutions treating intestinal motility disorders identified 147 patients treated from 2006 to 2011 at 46 institutions. The mean patient age was 12.1 years (range, 0.3-77.5). The mean age of onset was 3.0 years (range, 0.0-68.8). Diagnoses included chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (n = 96), Hirschsprung disease (n = 29), megacystis microcolon intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (n = 18), and other (n = 6). There were 126 survivors and 21 patients who died during the last 5 years. The mortality rate was 14.3%. Eighty-five percent of patients required parenteral nutrition for more than 6 months, which was defined as irreversible intestinal failure. Among surviving patients with irreversible intestinal failure, 8 (9.4 %) developed hepatic failure with jaundice and 27 (31.8%) 2 or more central vein thromboses. In all, at least 35 patients (41%) with irreversible failure due to intestinal motility disorders may be candidates for transplantation. The prevalence of severe intestinal motility disorders was elucidated in Japan. Severe cases should be referred to transplant centers.

Abstract
In this Letter, we report analyses of spatiotemporal dynamics of turbulence and structure in the limit-cycle oscillation (LCO) that precedes an L-to-H transition. Zonal flows are not observed during LCO, and the oscillation is the periodic generations or decays of barrier with edge-localized mean flow. Oscillatory Reynolds stress is found to be too small to accelerate the LCO flow, by considering the dielectric constant in magnetized toroidal plasmas. Propagation of changes of the density gradient and turbulence amplitude into the core is also observed.

Abstract
Transverse acoustic (TA) excitation modes were observed in inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) spectra of liquid Sn. The excitation energies and widths of the TA modes are in good agreement with results of an ab initio molecular dynamics simulation. By comparing current correlation spectra between the experimental and theoretical results quantitatively, we have concluded that the TA modes can be detected experimentally through the quasi-TA branches in the longitudinal current correlation spectra. The lifetime and propagation length of the TA modes were determined to be ~0.7 ps and 0.8-1.0 nm, respectively, corresponding to the size of cages formed instantaneously in liquid Sn.
