Abstract
The structure and decay of the most neutron-rich beryllium isotope, ^{16}Be, has been investigated following proton knockout from a high-energy ^{17}B beam. Two relatively narrow resonances were observed for the first time, with energies of 0.84(3) and 2.15(5) MeV above the two-neutron decay threshold and widths of 0.32(8) and 0.95(15) MeV, respectively. These were assigned to be the ground (J^{π}=0^{+}) and first excited (2^{+}) state, with E_{x}=1.31(6) MeV. The mass excess of ^{16}Be was thus deduced to be 56.93(13) MeV, some 0.5 MeV more bound than the only previous measurement. Both states were observed to decay by direct two-neutron emission. Calculations incorporating the evolution of the wave function during the decay as a genuine three-body process reproduced the principal characteristics of the neutron-neutron energy spectra for both levels, indicating that the ground state exhibits a strong spatially compact dineutron component, while the 2^{+} level presents a far more diffuse neutron-neutron distribution.

Abstract
We present the measurement of the cosmic ray proton spectrum from 50 TeV to 1.3 PeV using 7.81×10^{6} extensive air shower events recorded by the ground-based GRAPES-3 experiment between 1 January 2014 and 26 October 2015 with a live time of 460 day. Our measurements provide an overlap with direct observations by satellite and balloon-based experiments. The electromagnetic and muon components in the shower were measured by a dense array of plastic scintillator detectors and a tracking muon telescope, respectively. The relative composition of the proton primary from the air shower data containing all primary particles was extracted using the multiplicity distribution of muons which is a sensitive observable for mass composition. The observed proton spectrum suggests a spectral hardening at ∼166 TeV and disfavors a single power law description of the spectrum up to the Knee energy (∼3 PeV).

Abstract
High-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) has become attractive for presenting a variety of exercise conditions. However, the effects of HIIE on renal function and hemodynamics remain unclear. This study aimed to compare the effects of HIIE and moderate-intensity continuous exercise (MICE) on renal hemodynamics, renal function, and kidney injury biomarkers. Ten adult males participated in this study. We allowed the participants to perform HIIE or MICE to consider the impact of exercise on renal hemodynamics under both conditions. Renal hemodynamic assessment and blood sampling were conducted before the exercise (pre) and immediately (post 0), 30 min (post 30), and 60 min (post 60) after the exercise. Urine sampling was conducted in the pre, post 0, and post 60 phases. There was no condition-by-time interaction (p = 0.614), condition (p = 0.422), or time effect (p = 0.114) regarding renal blood flow. Creatinine-corrected urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin concentrations increased at post 60 (p = 0.017), but none exceeded the cut-off values for defining kidney injury. Moreover, there were no significant changes in other kidney injury biomarkers at any point. These findings suggest that high-intensity exercise can be performed without decreased RBF or increased kidney injury risk when conducted intermittently for short periods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are indicated for various cancers and are the mainstay of cancer immunotherapy. They are often associated with ICI-related pneumonitis (CIP), however, hindering a favorable clinical course. Recently, non-oncology concomitant drugs have been reported to affect the efficacy and toxicity of ICIs; however, the association between these drugs and the risk for CIP is uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of baseline concomitant drugs on CIP incidence in ICI-treated advanced cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a single-center retrospective study that included a cohort of 511 patients with advanced cancer (melanoma and non-small-cell lung, head and neck, genitourinary, and other types of cancer) treated with ICIs. Univariable analysis was conducted to identify baseline co-medications associated with CIP incidence. A propensity score matching analysis was used to adjust for potential CIP risk factors, and multivariable analysis was carried out to assess the impact of the identified co-medications on CIP risk. RESULTS Forty-seven (9.2%) patients developed CIP. In these patients, the organizing pneumonia pattern was the dominant radiological phenotype, and 42.6% had grade ≥3 CIP, including one patient with grade 5. Of the investigated baseline co-medications, the proportion of antiplatelet drugs (n = 50, 9.8%) was higher in patients with CIP (23.4% versus 8.4%). After propensity score matching, the CIP incidence was higher in patients with baseline antiplatelet drugs (22% versus 6%). Finally, baseline antiplatelet drug use was demonstrated to increase the risk for CIP incidence regardless of cancer type (hazard ratio, 3.46; 95% confidence interval 1.21-9.86). CONCLUSIONS An association between concomitant antiplatelet drug use at baseline and an increased risk for CIP was seen in our database. This implies the importance of assessing concomitant medications for CIP risk management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Renal blood flow (RBF) decreases with exercise, but this change is only temporary, and habitual exercise may be an effective method to improve renal function. The kidney shows structural and functional changes with aging, but it is unclear how aging affects the hemodynamic response of the kidneys to exercise. Therefore, we evaluated the differences in the hemodynamic response of the kidneys to high-intensity exercise between younger and older men. METHODS Sixteen men (8 young and 8 older) underwent an incremental exercise test using a cycle ergometer with a 1-min warm up followed by exercise at 10-20 W/min until the discontinuation criteria were met. Renal hemodynamics were assessed before exercise, immediately after exercise, and at 60-min after exercise using ultrasound echo. RESULTS High-intensity exercise significantly reduced RBF in both groups (younger: ∆ - 53 ± 16%, p = 0.0005; older: ∆ - 53 ± 19%, p = 0.0004). In the younger group, RBF returned to the pre-exercise level 60-min after exercise (∆ - 0.4 ± 5.7%, p > 0.9999). In contrast, RBF 60-min after exercise was significantly lower than that before exercise in the older group (∆ - 24 ± 19%, p = 0.0006). The older group had significantly lower RBF than younger adults 60-min after exercise (423 ± 32 vs. 301 ± 98 mL/min, p = 0.0283). CONCLUSIONS Our findings demonstrate that RBF following high-intensity exercise recovered 60-min after exercise in younger group, whereas RBF recovery was delayed in the older group.

Abstract
Balance disorders are a risk factor for falls in older individuals, and an increased center of pressure (COP) sway path length during standing and decreased reach distance in the functional reach test (FRT) predispose them to falls. Reportedly, noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) reduces COP sway path length during standing in young and community-dwelling older individuals and suggested to be a promising approach to improve balance function. However, the effect of nGVS on FRT remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to clarify the effect of nGVS on the FRT reach distance. This study has a cross-over design and included 20 healthy young adults. Interventions under nGVS (stimulation intensity: 0.2 mA) and sham (stimulation intensity: 0 mA) conditions were randomly administered to each participant. The participants underwent COP sway during standing measurements and FRT pre-intervention and post-intervention under each condition, and COP sway path length and the FRT reach distance were calculated. Statistical analysis revealed a significant decrease in post-intervention COP sway path length compared with pre-intervention COP sway path length under the nGVS condition. Conversely, the FRT reach distance remained the same under both nGVS and sham conditions. Thus, nGVS may improve the standing balance function but cannot change the FRT reach distance in healthy young individuals.

Abstract
Ultra-short-term heart rate variability (HRV) has been validated in the resting state, but its validity during exercise is unclear. This study aimed to examine the validity in ultra-short-term HRV during exercise considering the different exercise intensities. HRVs of twenty-nine healthy adults were measured during incremental cycle exercise tests. HRV parameters (Time-, frequency-domain and non-linear) corresponding to each of the 20% (low), 50% (moderate), and 80% (high) peak oxygen uptakes were compared between the different time segments of HRV analysis (180 s (sec) segment vs. 30, 60, 90, and 120-sec segments). Overall, the differences (bias) between ultra-short-term HRVs increased as the time segment became shorter. In moderate- and high-intensity exercises, the differences in ultra-short-term HRV were more significant than in low intensity exercise. Thus, we discovered that the validity of ultra-short-term HRV differed with the duration of the time segment and exercise intensities. However, the ultra-short-term HRV is feasible in the cycling exercise, and we determined some optimal time duration for HRV analysis for across exercise intensities during the incremental cycling exercise.

Abstract
Exercise is restricted for individuals with reduced renal function because exercising reduces blood flow to the kidneys. Safe and effective exercise programs for individuals with reduced renal function have not yet been developed. We previously examined the relationship between exercise intensity and renal blood flow (RBF), revealing that moderate-intensity exercise did not reduce RBF. Determining the effects of exercise duration on RBF may have valuable clinical applications. The current study examined the effects of a single bout of continuous exercise at lactate threshold (LT) intensity on renal hemodynamics. Eight adult males participated in this study. Participants underwent 30 min of aerobic exercise at LT intensity using a cycle ergometer. Evaluation of renal hemodynamics was performed before and after exercise, in the recovery phase using ultrasound echo. Furthermore, blood and urine samplings were conducted before and after exercise, in the recovery phase. Compared with resting, RBF was not significantly changed immediately after continuous exercise (319 ± 102 vs. 308 ± 79 ml/min; p = 0.976) and exhibited no significant changes in the recovery phase. Moreover, urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (uKIM-1) level exhibited no significant change immediately after continuous exercise (0.52 ± 0.20 vs. 0.46 ± 0.27 μg/g creatinine; p = 0.447). In addition, the results revealed no significant change in urinary uKIM-1 in 60-min after exercise. Other renal injury biomarkers exhibited a similar pattern. These findings indicate that a single bout of moderate-intensity continuous exercise maintains RBF and does not induce renal injury.

Abstract
Purpose/objective(s)
To report results from our phase II study of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) delivering 36 Gy in 4 fractions for patients with localized prostate cancer.
Materials/methods
We enrolled 55 patients treated with SBRT delivering 36 Gy in 4 fractions between 2015 to 2018. All patients were categorized as low-risk (n = 4), intermediate-risk (n = 31) or high-risk (n = 20) according to National Comprehensive Cancer Network criteria. Median age was 73 years (range 54–86 years). Two-thirds of patients (n = 37) had received androgen-deprivation therapy for 3–46 months (median, 31 months). Median duration of follow-up was 36 months (range 1–54 months). We used Radiation Therapy Oncology Group and National Cancer Institute—Common Toxicity Criteria version 4 for toxicity assessments. Quality of life (QOL) outcomes were also evaluated using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC).
Results
Protocol treatments were completed for all patients. Six patients experienced biochemical failures. Among these six patients, three patients experienced clinical failure. One patient showed bone metastasis before biochemical failure. One patient died of gastric cancer. The 3-year biochemical control rate was 89.8%. Acute grade 2 genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities were observed in 5 patients (9%) and 6 patients (11%), respectively. No grade 3 or higher acute toxicities were observed. Late grade 2 GU and GI toxicities were observed in 7 patients (13%) and 4 patients (7%), respectively. Late grade 3 GU and GI toxicities were observed in 1 patient (1.8%) each. EPIC scores decreased slightly during the acute phase and recovered within 3 months after treatment.
Conclusion
Our phase II study showed that SBRT delivering 36 Gy in 4 fractions was safe and effective with favorable QOL outcomes, although this regimen showed slightly more severe toxicities compared to current standards.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Local impedance (LI) at a distal tip of the ablation catheter can indirectly measure catheter contact and tissue temperature during radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). LI decreases by RFCA, and a degree of LI drop is correlated with lesion size. However, data on the effects of catheter contact angle on lesion size and LI drop were scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of catheter contact angle on lesion size and LI drop in a porcine experimental study.
Methods
Lesions were created on porcine myocardial left ventricles by the LI-sensing ablation catheter (IntellaNav MiFi OI®). Contact force (CF) was measured using pressure to current transducer (load cell). Radiofrequency ablation was performed with a power of 30 Watt and a duration of 30 seconds. CF (0g, 5g, 10g, 20g, and 30g) and catheter angle (30°, 45°, and 90°) were changed in each set (total 120 lesions, n=8 each). LI rise, LI drop by RF application, and lesion size (maximum lesion width, maximum surface width, and maximum lesion depth) were evaluated.
Results
There was no angular dependence in LI rise in all CF. The values of LI rise increased as CF increased. The LI drop also increased as CF increased in all contact angles. Regarding the difference of catheter angles, LI drop with 90° was lower than those with 30° and 45°in CF 10g, 20g, and 30g, respectively. Maximum lesion width and surface width were larger in 30° and 45° than those in 90°, whereas there were no differences in maximum lesion depth.
Conclusion
LI drop in 90° were significantly lower than those in 45° and 30°. Although lesion depths were not different among the three angles, the absolute values of LI drop were different. Caution should be exercised to comprehend the LI drop with catheter angles.

Abstract
A kinematically complete quasifree (p,pn) experiment in inverse kinematics was performed to study the structure of the Borromean nucleus ^{17}B, which had long been considered to have a neutron halo. By analyzing the momentum distributions and exclusive cross sections, we obtained the spectroscopic factors for 1s_{1/2} and 0d_{5/2} orbitals, and a surprisingly small percentage of 9(2)% was determined for 1s_{1/2}. Our finding of such a small 1s_{1/2} component and the halo features reported in prior experiments can be explained by the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum, revealing a definite but not dominant neutron halo in ^{17}B. The present work gives the smallest s- or p-orbital component among known nuclei exhibiting halo features and implies that the dominant occupation of s or p orbitals is not a prerequisite for the occurrence of a neutron halo.

Abstract
The formation of a dineutron in the ^{11}Li nucleus is found to be localized to the surface region. The experiment measured the intrinsic momentum of the struck neutron in ^{11}Li via the (p,pn) knockout reaction at 246 MeV/nucleon. The correlation angle between the two neutrons is, for the first time, measured as a function of the intrinsic neutron momentum. A comparison with reaction calculations reveals the localization of the dineutron at r∼3.6 fm. The results also support the density dependence of dineutron formation as deduced from Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculations for nuclear matter.

Abstract
Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) modulates cerebellar activity and postural control. However, the effects of ctDCS on postural control learning and the mechanisms associated with these effects remain unclear. To examine the effects of single-session ctDCS on postural control learning and cerebellar brain inhibition (CBI) of the primary motor cortex in healthy individuals. In this triple-blind, sham-controlled study, 36 participants were allocated randomly to one of three groups: (1) anodal ctDCS group, (2) cathodal ctDCS group, and (3) sham ctDCS group. ctDCS (2 mA) was applied to the cerebellar brain for 20 min prior to six blocks of standing postural control training (each block consisted of five trials of a 30-s tracking task). CBI and corticospinal excitability of the tibialis anterior muscle were assessed at baseline, immediately after, 1 day after, and 7 days after training. Skill acquisition following training was significantly reduced in both the anodal and cathodal ctDCS groups compared with the sham ctDCS group. Changes in performance measured 1 day after and 7 days after training did not differ among the groups. In the anodal ctDCS group, CBI significantly increased after training, whereas corticospinal excitability decreased. Anodal ctDCS-induced CBI changes were correlated with the learning formation of postural control (r = 0.55, P = 0.04). Single-session anodal and cathodal ctDCS could suppress the skill acquisition of postural control in healthy individuals. The CBI changes induced by anodal ctDCS may affect the learning process of postural control.

Abstract
The isotopic production cross sections for the reactions of 136Xe induced by proton, deuteron and carbon at 168 MeV/u were obtained by using the inverse kinematics technique at RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory. The target dependence of the cross sections was investigated systematically. It was found that for the light-mass products, the cross sections on carbon are larger than those on deuteron and proton. The measured cross sections on proton were compared with the previous data at higher reaction energies to study the energy dependence. The experimental results were compared with the theoretical calculations including both the intranuclear cascade and evaporation processes using PHITS and with the EPAX and SPACS empirical parameterizations.

Abstract
The GRAPES-3 muon telescope located in Ooty, India records rapid (∼10 min) variations in the muon intensity during major thunderstorms. Out of a total of 184 thunderstorms recorded during the interval of April 2011-December 2014, the one on December 1, 2014 produced a massive potential of 1.3 GV. The electric field measured by four well-separated (up to 6 km) monitors on the ground was used to help estimate some of the properties of this thundercloud, including its altitude and area that were found to be 11.4 km above mean sea level and ≥380 km^{2}, respectively. A charging time of 6 min to reach 1.3 GV implied the delivery of a power of ≥2 GW by this thundercloud that was moving at a speed of ∼60 km h^{-1}. This work possibly provides the first direct evidence for the generation of gigavolt potentials in thunderclouds that could also possibly explain the production of highest-energy (100 MeV) gamma rays in the terrestrial gamma-ray flashes.

Abstract
In a 94-year-old male cadaver, upon which routine dissection was being conducted, a rare variation was found in the gastrophrenic trunk (GPT), the common trunk of the left gastric artery (LGA), right inferior phrenic artery (RIPA), and left inferior phrenic artery (LIPA); the GPT arises from the abdominal aorta. A hepatosplenic trunk accompanied the variation. In this variation, the RIPA first branched from the GPT and then to the LIPA and LGA. Variations in the common trunk of the LIPA and RIPA in the GPT are common, but to our knowledge, a variation (separate inferior phrenic artery in the GPT) similar to our findings has not been previously reported. We discuss the incidence and developmental and clinical significance of this variation with a detailed review of the literature. Knowledge of such a case has important clinical significance for invasive and non-invasive arterial procedures. Therefore, different variations concerning the LGA and inferior phrenic artery should be considered during surgical and non-surgical evaluations.

Abstract
The GRAPES-3 tracking muon telescope in Ooty, India measures muon intensity at high cutoff rigidities (15-24 GV) along nine independent directions covering 2.3 sr. The arrival of a coronal mass ejection on 22 June 2015 18:40 UT had triggered a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm (storm). Starting 19:00 UT, the GRAPES-3 muon telescope recorded a 2 h high-energy (∼20 GeV) burst of galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) that was strongly correlated with a 40 nT surge in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Simulations have shown that a large (17×) compression of the IMF to 680 nT, followed by reconnection with the geomagnetic field (GMF) leading to lower cutoff rigidities could generate this burst. Here, 680 nT represents a short-term change in GMF around Earth, averaged over 7 times its volume. The GCRs, due to lowering of cutoff rigidities, were deflected from Earth's day side by ∼210° in longitude, offering a natural explanation of its night-time detection by the GRAPES-3. The simultaneous occurrence of the burst in all nine directions suggests its origin close to Earth. It also indicates a transient weakening of Earth's magnetic shield, and may hold clues for a better understanding of future superstorms that could cripple modern technological infrastructure on Earth, and endanger the lives of the astronauts in space.

Abstract
Purpose: To determine the most accurate criterion for predicting malignancy of small cervical lymph nodes with gray-scale ultrasound (GSUS) and power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS). Material and Methods: Findings of 69 pathologically verified cervical nodes (38 benign, 31 malignant) in 57 patients without wide echogenic hilum on GSUS that measured less than 10 mm in minimal axial diameter were prospectively studied. Minimal and maximal axial diameters, ratios of minimal to maximal axial diameters, and presence or absence of calcification or necrosis of the nodes were assessed. On PDUS, vascularity in the node was classified into 4 pattern groups. A logistic model was used to evaluate the significant factors for predicting malignancy. Results: The logistic model revealed that the minimal axial diameter and vascularity patterns were the only significant factors for malignancy. Using the minimal axial diameter, a node larger than 8 mm showed the highest accuracy (73%) with 45% sensitivity and 93% specificity. Of the vascularity patterns, spotted or peripheral pattern had the highest accuracy (80%) with 61% sensitivity and 93% specificity. A combined criterion of the minimal axial diameter larger than 8 mm and spotted or peripheral pattern increased the accuracy to 82% and sensitivity to 77% but specificity decreased to 86%. Conclusion: A combined criterion of minimal axial diameter and vascular patterns was most accurate for diagnosing occult metastatic lymph nodes in the neck.

Abstract
Purpose: To compare the effect of compression of spiral low-dose CT images by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) and wavelet algorithms on detection of small lung cancers. Material and Methods: Low-dose spiral CT images of 104 individuals (52 with peripheral lung cancers smaller than 20 mm and 52 control subjects) were used. The original images were compressed using JPEG or wavelet algorithms at a ratio of 10:1 or 20:1. Five radiologists interpreted these images and evaluated the image quality on a high-resolution CRT monitor. Observer performance was studied by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results: There was no significant difference in the detection of cancers measuring 6 to 15 mm in uncompressed images and in those compressed by either of the algorithms, although the quality of images compressed at 20:1 with the wavelet algorithm was somewhat inferior. A lower diagnostic accuracy was noted using images compressed by the JPEG or wavelet algorithms at 20:1 in detecting lung cancers measuring 6 to 10 mm and cancers measuring from 6 to 15 mm with ground-glass opacity. Conclusion: Compression of low-dose CT images at a ratio of 10:1 using JPEG and wavelet algorithms does not compromise the detection rate of small lung cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study we investigated whether an Internet-based computerized cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) program can decrease the risk of DSM-IV-TR major depressive episodes (MDE) during a 12-month follow-up of a randomized controlled trial of Japanese workers. METHOD Participants were recruited from one company and three departments of another company. Those participants who did not experience MDE in the past month were randomly allocated to intervention or control groups (n = 381 for each). A 6-week, six-lesson iCBT program was provided to the intervention group. While the control group only received the usual preventive mental health service for the first 6 months, the control group was given a chance to undertake the iCBT program after a 6-month follow-up. The primary outcome was a new onset of DSM-IV-TR MDE during the 12-month follow-up, as assessed by means of the web version of the WHO Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI), version 3.0 depression section. RESULTS The intervention group had a significantly lower incidence of MDE at the 12-month follow-up than the control group (Log-rank χ2 = 7.04, p < 0.01). The hazard ratio for the intervention group was 0.22 (95% confidence interval 0.06-0.75), when estimated by the Cox proportional hazard model. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrates that an iCBT program is effective in preventing MDE in the working population. However, it should be noted that MDE was measured by self-report, while the CIDI can measure the episodes more strictly following DSM-IV criteria.

Abstract
Gene therapy is a promising treatment option for cancers generated by mutation of oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. The transcriptional process is activated by doxorubicin (DXR), and gene expression efficiency followed by gene transfection can be enhanced by the combination-use of DXR. Therefore, co-encapsulation of plasmid DNA (pDNA) and DXR into non-viral gene carriers can enhance gene expression. Here, we prepared DXR-loaded liposome/pDNA complexes (DXR-loaded PEGylated lipoplexes) by co-encapsulating pDNA and DXR into liposomes. Gene expression was enhanced by DXR encapsulation into lipoplexes in colon-26 cells and cultured mouse macrophages, and this gene expression level was significantly higher than that obtained by the combination of PEGylated lipoplexes and free DXR. Moreover, the activation profiles of transcriptional factors induced by DXR-loaded lipoplexes were different from those induced by free DXR; therefore, co-encapsulation of pDNA and DXR into gene carriers might be contributed to effective enhancement of gene expression. These findings provide a new approach for achieving effective gene transfection using PEGylated lipoplexes.
