Abstract
Autophagy is primarily activated by cellular stress, such as starvation or mitochondrial damage. However, stress-independent autophagy is activated by unclear mechanisms in several cell types, such as thymic epithelial cells (TECs). Here we report that the mitochondrial protein, C15ORF48, is a critical inducer of stress-independent autophagy. Mechanistically, C15ORF48 reduces the mitochondrial membrane potential and lowers intracellular ATP levels, thereby activating AMP-activated protein kinase and its downstream Unc-51-like kinase 1. Interestingly, C15ORF48-dependent induction of autophagy upregulates intracellular glutathione levels, promoting cell survival by reducing oxidative stress. Mice deficient in C15orf48 show a reduction in stress-independent autophagy in TECs, but not in typical starvation-induced autophagy in skeletal muscles. Moreover, C15orf48-/- mice develop autoimmunity, which is consistent with the fact that the stress-independent autophagy in TECs is crucial for the thymic self-tolerance. These results suggest that C15ORF48 induces stress-independent autophagy, thereby regulating oxidative stress and self-tolerance.

Abstract
One hallmark of some autoimmune diseases is the variability of symptoms among individuals. Organs affected by the disease differ between patients, posing a challenge in diagnosing the affected organs. Although numerous studies have investigated the correlation between T cell antigen receptor (TCR) repertoires and the development of infectious and immune diseases, the correlation between TCR repertoires and variations in disease symptoms among individuals remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the correlation of TCRα and β repertoires in blood T cells with the extent of autoimmune signs that varies among individuals. We sequenced TCRα and β of CD4+ CD44high CD62Llow T cells in the blood and stomachs of mice deficient in autoimmune regulator (Aire) (AIRE KO), a mouse model of human autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy. Data analysis revealed that the degree of similarity in TCR sequences between the blood and stomach varied among individual AIRE KO mice and reflected the extent of T cell infiltration in the stomach. We identified a set of TCR sequences whose frequencies in blood might correlate with extent of the stomach manifestations. Our results propose a potential of using TCR repertoires not only for diagnosing disease development but also for diagnosing affected organs in autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
A 70-year-old male patient was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer with para-aortic lymph node metastasis. After diagnostic laparoscopy, the patient received 2 courses of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Subsequently, distal gastrectomy, D2 plus para-aortic lymph node dissection, and Roux-en-Y reconstruction were performed. An enlarged lymph node(No. 16b2)was identified during surgery. The histopathological diagnosis revealed ypT4b, ypN3b, cM1(LYM; No. 16), Stage ⅣB. Chemotherapy with ramucirumab plus nab-paclitaxel was administered at 6 weeks postoperatively. However, after 2 courses of chemotherapy, the patient developed an abscess discharge from the wound, which was confirmed by an abdominal CT scan and diagnosed as an intra-abdominal abscess derived from duodenal perforation. The abscess was drained percutaneously. Subsequently, chemotherapy with nab-paclitaxel, nivolumab, and trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride was administered. After the appearance of brain metastases, the treatment was shifted to palliative care. The patient died 2 years and 7 months later from the primary disease.

Abstract
The thymus has the ability to regenerate from acute injury caused by radiation, infection, and stressors. In addition to thymocytes, thymic epithelial cells in the medulla (mTECs), which are crucial for T cell self-tolerance by ectopically expressing and presenting thousands of tissue-specific antigens (TSAs), are damaged by these insults and recover thereafter. However, given recent discoveries on the high heterogeneity of mTECs, it remains to be determined whether the frequency and properties of mTEC subsets are restored during thymic recovery from radiation damage. Here we demonstrate that acute total body irradiation with a sublethal dose induces aftereffects on heterogeneity and gene expression of mTECs. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis showed that irradiation reduces the frequency of mTECs expressing AIRE, which is a critical regulator of TSA expression, 15 days after irradiation. In contrast, transit-amplifying mTECs (TA-mTECs), which are progenitors of AIRE-expressing mTECs, and Ccl21a-expressing mTECs, were less affected. Interestingly, a detailed analysis of scRNA-seq data suggested that the proportion of a unique mTEC cluster expressing Ccl25 and a high level of TSAs was severely decreased by irradiation. In sum, we propose that the effects of acute irradiation disrupt the heterogeneity and properties of mTECs over an extended period, which potentially leads to an impairment of thymic T cell selection.

Abstract
Avacopan (TAVNEOS® capsules) is an orally available selective C5a receptor (C5aR) antagonist. It has been approved in Japan since 2021 for the treatment of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), the two major subtypes of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). The current standard therapy combining glucocorticoids (GC) and immunosuppressants has greatly improved the prognosis of AAV, however, issues such as side effects associated with GC use remain to be resolved. Avacopan suppresses priming of neutrophils induced by the complement component C5a, a process deeply involved in the pathogenesis of AAV. In pre-clinical studies, avacopan inhibited chemotaxis and priming of neutrophils induced by C5a-C5aR signaling. It also significantly suppressed nephritis and renal damage in an ANCA-induced glomerulonephritis mouse model. In the global phase 3 study "ADVOCATE", avacopan achieved both primary endpoints being 1) non-inferior to prednisone in inducing remission at week 26 and 2) superior in sustained remission at week 52 for MPA and GPA patients. Additionally, with avacopan, GC toxicity score was significantly lower and fewer adverse events possibly related to GC were observed. Furthermore, avacopan increased estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) more than prednisone indicating improved renal function. Thus, the novel mechanism of avacopan targeting the complement system is a promising new therapeutic option for AAV with fewer GC-related side effects and better improvement of renal function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic inflammation has been reported to be associated with cancer progression and metastasis. Systemic inflammation score (SIS), calculated from preoperative serum albumin level and lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, has been shown to be a novel prognostic factor for several types of tumors. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the SIS in patients with pT2-4 resectable gastric cancer (GC). METHODS Total 97 patients with pT2-4 GC who underwent curative surgery from 322 cases between 2009 and 2015 in Fukushima Medical University Hospital were included. We performed univariate and multivariate analyses to evaluate the usefulness of preoperative SIS and other prognostic factors for relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS The higher SIS score was associated with undifferentiated cancer and recurrence. Univariate analysis of RFS identified deeper tumor invasion and higher SIS were significant risk factors and multivariate analysis revealed that both of them were independent prognostic factors for RFS. As for OS, age, tumor invasion, SIS and LNR were significantly correlated with RFS. In multivariate analysis, tumor invasion, SIS and LNR were independent prognostic factors for OS. CONCLUSIONS SIS was an independent prognostic factor for RFS and OS in pT2-4 resectable gastric cancer patients who underwent curative gastrectomy.

Abstract
Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) are critical for self-tolerance induction in T cells via promiscuous expression of tissue-specific antigens (TSAs), which are controlled by the transcriptional regulator, AIRE. Whereas AIRE-expressing (Aire+) mTECs undergo constant turnover in the adult thymus, mechanisms underlying differentiation of postnatal mTECs remain to be discovered. Integrative analysis of single-cell assays for transposase-accessible chromatin (scATAC-seq) and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) suggested the presence of proliferating mTECs with a specific chromatin structure, which express high levels of Aire and co-stimulatory molecules, CD80 (Aire+CD80hi). Proliferating Aire+CD80hi mTECs detected using Fucci technology express a minimal number of Aire-dependent TSAs and are converted into quiescent Aire+CD80hi mTECs expressing high levels of TSAs after a transit amplification. These data provide evidence for the existence of transit-amplifying Aire+mTEC precursors during the Aire+mTEC differentiation process of the postnatal thymus.

Abstract
The prevention of human error is an important task that has already been researched. Previous studies have shown that EEG signals can predict the occurrence of human errors. However, high accuracy has not yet been achieved in a single-trial analysis. This study is aimed to improve the accuracy of single-trial analysis, and propose a method for anomaly detection with auto encoder(AE). In the experiment, we conducted "Press the button(Go)" or "Do nothing(No-Go)" according to the visual stimulus and analyzed the EEG signal from -1000 ms to 0 ms when the stimulus was displayed. We prepared two types of inputs, time series data and frequency spectrum, and an AE was trained to reconstruct the inputs. We then calculated the difference between the reconstructed data and input data and predicted human error by its largeness. In the prediction using Support Vector Machine (SVM) based on the frequency spectrum, some over-fitting occurred and the average accuracy was 43 %. In the prediction using anomaly detection with frequency spectrum was 53 % and could not be classified. The time series data was 63 % which improved the accuracy. A previous study has shown frequency-dependent features such as -band activity and rhythm, as precursors of human error. However, in single-trial analysis, we obtained a higher accuracy by time series data than when by using the frequency spectrum. However, there was no noticeable difference between SVM and anomaly detection methods other than over-fitting. Therefore, in this case, the improvement in accuracy by the anomaly detection method could not be confirmed. However, the result suggests that it is more effective to use the frequency spectrum than the time series data in the single-trial analysis in the future.

Abstract
External fixators are an effective treatment option for comminuted or unstable phalangeal fractures. We developed a new linked-wire type of external fixator (the Ichi-Fixator) for finger phalangeal fractures, which enables fine adjustment of the fixation under fluoroscopy guidance either in a static way or with distraction through small screws inside the fixator. This technique was designed to improve on the stability and rigidity of conventional percutaneous Kirchner wire fixation. We assessed the effectiveness of the fixator through 12 cases of open or percutaneous fixation in comminuted or unstable phalangeal fractures. All patients were examined for postoperative complications, functional recovery, pain on visual analog scale (VAS), and the Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) score at the final follow-up visit. Patients could perform all routine activities with normal grip strength and a full range of hand motion without pain after treatment. This treatment, which reduces the postoperative discomfort and may allow an immediate return to work, will clearly boost patient satisfaction. Linked-wire type external fixation enhances the security of fixation, facilitates postoperative mobilization, and may allow an immediate return to work.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and mizoribine (MZR) are increasingly used as immunosuppressive agents for organ transplantation and chronic inflammation. We report a patient with rheumatoid arthritis who had an acute inflammatory syndrome triggered by preoperative immunosuppression therapy with both MMF and MZR. CASE REPORT A 41-year-old woman with IgA nephropathy was referred to our department for living donor renal transplantation. She had rheumatoid arthritis that was adequately treated with prednisolone 5 mg once a day and salazosulfapyridine 2000 mg once a day. MMF 1000 mg twice a day was started for desensitization therapy. Three days later, the patient developed arthritis in the joints of her left hand and elevated inflammatory markers. On day 7, MMF was switched to MZR 150 mg 3 times a day. However, the symptoms extended to both shoulders and the joints of the right foot; MZR was discontinued. The arthritis and inflammatory markers improved. Two months later, the patient was rechallenged with MMF followed by MZR, resulting in a similar clinical course as previously. Tacrolimus (TAC) 3 mg twice a day and everolimus (EVL) 0.5 mg twice a day were introduced as alternative immunosuppressant therapies. No arthritis occurred. ABO-compatible living donor renal transplantation was successfully performed. The patient received TAC, EVL, prednisolone, rituximab, and basiliximab, and her postoperative course was uneventful without arthritis or rejection. At 9 months postoperatively, the serum creatinine was 0.79 mg/dL. CONCLUSIONS Acute inflammatory syndrome is an extremely rare complication triggered by preoperative immunosuppression therapy. If antimetabolites cannot be used in immunologically high-risk patients, transplantation becomes very difficult. Clinicians should keep in mind this paradoxical reaction.

Abstract
Cholinergic hypofunction is associated with decreased attention and cognitive deficits in the central nervous system in addition to compromised motor function. Consequently, stimulation of cholinergic neurotransmission is a rational therapeutic approach for the potential treatment of a variety of neurological conditions. High affinity choline uptake (HACU) into acetylcholine (ACh)-synthesizing neurons is critically mediated by the sodium- and pH-dependent high-affinity choline transporter (CHT, encoded by the SLC5A7 gene). This transporter is comparatively well-characterized but otherwise unexplored as a potential drug target. We therefore sought to identify small molecules that would enable testing of the hypothesis that positive modulation of CHT mediated transport would enhance activity-dependent cholinergic signaling. We utilized existing and novel screening techniques for their ability to reveal both positive and negative modulation of CHT using literature tools. A screening campaign was initiated with a bespoke compound library comprising both the Pfizer Chemogenomic Library (CGL) of 2,753 molecules designed specifically to help enable the elucidation of new mechanisms in phenotypic screens and 887 compounds from a virtual screening campaign to select molecules with field-based similarities to reported negative and positive allosteric modulators. We identified a number of previously unknown active and structurally distinct molecules that could be used as tools to further explore CHT biology or as a starting point for further medicinal chemistry.

Abstract
The focus of this work is the change in sediment properties and chemical characteristics that occur after land reclamation projects. The results indicate a higher sedimentation rate in Lake Hachirogata after reclamation, with the rate increasing with proximity to the agricultural zone. In the west-side water samples, higher levels of dissolved total nitrogen and dissolved total phosphorus (DTP) were found in both surface and bottom waters. The increase in P (39-80%) was generally greater than that for N (12-16%), regarding the nutrient supply from reclaimed farmland in the western part of the lake. In the eastern part of the lake, the pore-water Cl- profile showed a decreasing vertical gradient in the sediment core. This indicates desalination of the lake water after construction of a sluice gate in 1961. In the western sediment-core sample, a uniform Cl- profile indicates the mixing of lake water and pore water after reclamation. Considering the sedimentation of P in the last 100 years, there is a trend of increasing accumulation of P and P-activities after the reclamation project. This appears to be an impact from change in the lake environment as a result of increased agricultural nutrients, desalination, and residence. A large amount of mobile phosphorus (42-72% of TP in the western core sample) trapped in sediment increases the risk of phosphorus release and intensification of algal blooms. High sediment phosphorus and phosphorus mobility should be considered a source of pollution in the coastal environment.

Abstract
Effects of physical and morphometric factors on nutrient removal properties were studied in small agricultural ponds with different depths, volumes, and residence times in western Japan. Average residence time was estimated to be >15 days, and it tended to decrease from summer to winter because of the increase in water withdrawal for agricultural activity. Water temperature was clearly different between the surface and bottom layers; this indicates that thermal stratification occurred in summer. Chlorophyll-a was significantly high (>20 μg/L) in the surface layer (<0.5 m) and influenced by the thermal stratification. Removal ratios of dissolved total nitrogen (DTN) and dissolved total phosphorus in the ponds were estimated to be 53-98% and 39-98% in August and 10-92% and 36-57% in December, respectively. Residence time of the ponds was longer in August than in December, and DTN removal, in particular, was more significant in ponds with longer residence time. Our results suggest residence time is an important factor for nitrogen removal in small agricultural ponds as well as large lakes.

Abstract
As the effects of supplementary oxygen on urinary excretion of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) are poorly understood, urinary 8-OHdG levels (ng/mg creatinine) were determined longitudinally on the postnatal day (PND) 1, 3, and 30 in 16 neonates with birth weight < 1000 g. No supplementary oxygen was required in 9 neonates during the first 24 h of life. Urinary 8-OHdG level on PND 1 was inversely correlated with birth weight in these 9 neonates (P = 0.0323) and was higher in four with birth weight < 750 g than five with birth weight > 750 g (41.0 ± 6.9 vs. 5.6 ± 2.7, respectively, P = 0.0200). Median urinary 8-OHdG on PND 1 of these 9 neonates was significantly lower than that of 7 neonates with oxygen (9.3 vs. 60.2, respectively), although there were no significant differences in clinical background, such as birth weight, between the two groups. Five of the 9 did not require supplemental oxygen at all during the first 30 days of life. Median urinary 8-OHdG levels were consistently significantly lower in the 5 neonates than in 11 neonates with oxygen transiently or persistently (9.3 vs. 54.6, 19.1 vs. 61.4, and 28.3 vs. 145 on PND 1, 3, and 30, respectively), although there were no differences in clinical background, such as birth weight, between the two groups. Urinary 8-OHdG on PND 30 was significantly positively correlated with supplemental oxygen dose on PND 30 (P < 0.0001), but not with birth weight in the 16 neonates. These results suggest that higher supplemental oxygen tension caused higher urinary 8-OHdG in this population.

Abstract
In order to determine the electric quadrupole moment of the short-lived β-emitter 41Sc from the quadrupole coupling constant in TiO2 , we measured the field gradient by detecting the Fourier-Transformed-NMR of stable isotope 45Sc doped in TiO2. Also, in order to study the electronic structure of impurities systematically, EFGs were measured for 45Sc, 49Ti and 93Nb in a TiO2 ingle single crystal.

Abstract
Abstract
The electronic structure of nitrogen atoms as impurities in an ionic TiO2 crystal has been investigated by analyzing electric field gradients (EFGs) measured by use of short-lived β-emitting 12N implant-ed following nuclear reactions. Conventional β-NMR and its modification, suitable for the detection of quadrupole effects in the NMR spectra, were used for the investigation of hyperfine interactions of 12N located in substitutional sites of O atoms and interstitial sites in the crystal. In order to deduce absolute values of the EFGs from the obtained eqQ/h, the quadrupole moment of 12N has been determined from the NMR detection of 12N implanted in BN(hexagonal) crystal. Here the EFG at the N atom in BN was measured by detecting the FT-NMR of 14N in the crystal. The EFGs in TiO2 are compared with the theoretical predictions based on the ab initio band-structure calculation in the framework of the KKR method.

Abstract
Although it is known that two coupled Wilson-Cowan models with reciprocal connections induce aperiodic oscillations, little attention has been paid to the dynamical mechanism for such oscillations so far. In this study, we aim to elucidate the fundamental mechanism to induce the aperiodic oscillations in the coupled model. First, aperiodic oscillations observed are investigated for the case when the connections are unidirectional and when the input signal is a periodic oscillation. By the phase portrait analysis, we determine that the aperiodic oscillations are caused by periodically forced state transitions between a stable equilibrium and a stable limit cycle attractors around the saddle-node and saddle separatrix loop bifurcation points. It is revealed that the dynamical mechanism where the state crosses over the saddle-node and saddle separatrix loop bifurcations significantly contributes to the occurrence of chaotic oscillations forced by a periodic input. In addition, this mechanism can also give rise to chaotic oscillations in reciprocally connected Wilson-Cowan models. These results suggest that the dynamic attractor transition underlies chaotic behaviors in two coupled Wilson-Cowan oscillators.

Abstract
Background: Narrowed true lumen and patent false lumen through to the terminal aorta is a high-risk condition for malperfusion syndromes (MS) in acute type-A aortic dissection. It is important to ascertain how the true and false lumens behave after surgery. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively investigated 45 patients with this pathology. The true lumen sizes at the narrowest levels above and below the superior mesenteric artery were followed by computed tomography after surgery (0-36 months). Results: Thirty-seven MS were seen in 23 patients. Hospital mortality was 8.9%. The narrowed true lumen was not enlarged in the first 6 months with a patent false lumen. The elephant trunk procedure did not improve the true lumen size. An extremely narrowed (≤3mm) true lumen was associated with a significantly high incidence of MS and mortality. Conclusions: High incidences of MS were observed in this particular pathology. An extremely narrowed true lumen was accompanied by a high incidence of MS and mortality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Social anxiety disorder is believed to be a stress-induced disease. Although it can be inferred from the symptoms during attacks that there exists some abnormality of autonomic nervous system in any of the stress systems in social anxiety disorder, little evidence has been reported. This study focused on comparing the reactivity of 2 stress systems, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in patients with social anxiety disorder. METHODS 32 patients with the generalized type of social anxiety disorder were compared with 80 age- and gender-matched controls. We collected saliva samples from patients and controls before and after electrical stimulation to measure the concentrations of salivary alpha-amylase (sAA) and salivary cortisol. Profile of Mood State (POMS) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) scores and Heart Rate Variability (HRV) were also determined following stimulation. RESULTS SAA in patients displayed a significantly higher level at baseline and a significantly larger response to electrical stimulation as compared to controls, whereas no group differences were seen in any HRV. Neither within-subject nor group differences were seen in salivary cortisol levels. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that SAD patients displayed enhanced ANS (but not HPA axis) activity vs. healthy controls.

Abstract
We extended single molecule fluorescence imaging and time-resolved fluorometry from the green to the violet-excitation regime to find feasibility of detecting and identifying fluorescent analogs of nucleic-acid bases at the single-molecule level. Using violet excitation, we observed fluorescent spotsfrom single complexes composed of a nucleotide analogue and the Klenow fragmentof DNA polymerase I. Also, we implemented Raman imaging and spectroscopy of adenine molecules adsorbed on Ag colloidal nanoparticles to find feasibility of identifying nucleic-acid bases at the single-molecule level. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of adenine molecules showed an intermittent on-and-off behavior called blinking. The observation of blinking provides substantial evidence for detecting single adenine molecules.

Abstract
Lymphocytes are of rich in delayed rectifier K(+)-channels (Kv1.3) in their plasma membranes, and the channels play crucial roles in the lymphocyte activation and proliferation. Since chloroquine, a widely used anti-malarial drug, exerts immunosuppressive effects, it will affect the channel currents in lymphocytes. In the present study, employing the standard patch-clamp whole-cell recording technique, we examined the effects of chloroquine on the channels expressed in murine thymocytes. Published papers report that chloroquine will inhibit voltage-dependent K(+)-channel currents by plugging into the open-pore. We observed, indeed, that chloroquine suppressed the pulse-end currents of Kv1.3-channels at higher voltage steps. Surprisingly, however, we found that the drug enhanced the peak currents at both higher and lower voltage steps. Since chloroquine showed such biphasic effects on the thymocyte K(+)-channels, and since those effects were voltage dependent, we examined the effects of chloroquine on the activation and the inactivation of the channel currents. We noted that chloroquine shifted both the activation and the inactivation curves toward the hyperpolarizing potential, and that those shifts were more emphasized at lower voltage steps. We conclude that chloroquine facilitates both the activation and the inactivation of Kv1.3-channel currents in thymocytes, and that those effects are voltage dependent.

Abstract
NF-κB-inducing kinase (NIK) plays critical roles in the development of lymph nodes and Peyer's patches, and microarchitecture of the thymus and spleen via NF-κB activation. Alymphoplasia (aly/aly) mice have a point mutation in the NIK gene that causes a defect in the activation of an NF-κB member RelB. Here, we developed a novel method to determine the aly mutation by genetic typing using PCR. This method facilitated the easy establishment of a congeneic aly/aly mouse line. Indeed, we generated a mouse line with aly mutation on a BALB/cA background (BALB/cA-aly/aly). BALB/cA-aly/aly mice showed significant splenomegaly with extramedullary hemopoiesis, which was not significant in aly/aly mice on a C57BL/6 background. Interestingly, the splenomegaly and extramedullary hemopoiesis caused by the aly mutation was gender-dependent. These data together with previous reports on extramedullary hemopoiesis in RelB-deficient mice suggest that NIK-RelB signaling may be involved in the suppression of extramedullary hemopoiesis in adult mice.

Abstract
Regulatory T cells (Tregs), a subset of CD4(+) helper T cells, are crucial for immunological self-tolerance. Defect in development or function of Tregs results in autoimmune disease in human and mice. Whereas it is known that Tregs mainly develop in the thymus, the molecular mechanism underlying development of Treg is not fully understood. TRAF6-deficient mice showed a severe defect in the Treg development in thymus. In vitro fetal thymic organ culture experiments indicated that the defect is ascribed to the absence of TRAF6 in thymic cells. Moreover, mixed fetal liver transfer experiments revealed that the development of Foxp3(+) cells differentiated from Traf6(-/-) hematopoietic cells was specifically impaired in the thymus, indicating cell-intrinsic requirement for TRAF6 in the Treg development. On the other hand, TRAF6 is not required for the development of conventional CD4(+) T cell. In addition, TGFβ-dependent induction of Foxp3 in CD4(+) T cells in vitro was not impaired by the absence of TRAF6. Overall, our data indicate that TRAF6 plays an essential role on the commitment of immature thymocytes to thymic Tregs in cell-intrinsic fashion.

Abstract
The ratio of the yields of antiprotons to protons in pp collisions has been measured by the ALICE experiment at sqrt[s]=0.9 and 7 TeV during the initial running periods of the Large Hadron Collider. The measurement covers the transverse momentum interval 0.45<p_{t}<1.05 GeV/c and rapidity |y|<0.5. The ratio is measured to be R_{|y|<0.5}=0.957±0.006(stat)±0.014(syst) at 0.9 TeV and R_{|y|<0.5}=0.991±0.005(stat)±0.014(syst) at 7 TeV and it is independent of both rapidity and transverse momentum. The results are consistent with the conventional model of baryon-number transport and set stringent limits on any additional contributions to baryon-number transfer over very large rapidity intervals in pp collisions.

Abstract
Abstract
Previous studies in this laboratory revealed that dihydrohonokiol-B (DHH-B; 3′-(2 propenyl)-5-propyl-(1,1′-biphenyl)-2,4′-diol), a partially reduced derivative of honokiol, was an effective anxiolytic-like agent in mice at an oral dose of 0.04 mg kg−1, and at higher doses, when evaluated by the elevated plus-maze test. The aim of this study was to further confirm the anxiolytic-like effect of DHH-B using an additional behavioural procedure (Vogel's conflict test in mice) and a biochemical assessment (in-vitro determination of muscimol-stimulated 36Cl− uptake into mouse cortical synaptoneurosomes). As in earlier experiments, DHH-B (0.04–1 mg kg−1, p.o.) was shown to prolong the time spent in the open-sided arms of the elevated plus-maze in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, in the Vogel's conflict test, DHH-B (5 mg kg−1, p.o.) significantly increased punished water intake. In tests with mouse cerebral cortical synaptoneurosomes, 10 and 30 μm of DHH-B significantly increased 36Cl− influx in the absence of muscimol. In the presence of 25 μm muscimol, the addition of 1 μm DHH-B led to significant enhancement of 36Cl− uptake, while 30 μm DHH-B was required to further stimulate the 36Cl− uptake induced by 250 μm muscimol. The results of these studies confirm that DHH-B is a potent anxiolytic-like agent and that GABAA receptor-gated Cl−-channel complex is involved in the anxiolytic-like efficacy of DHH-B.
