Abstract: To validate products of the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT), we observed vertical profiles of aerosols, thin cirrus clouds, and tropospheric ozone with a mobile-lidar system that consisted of a two-wavelength (532 and 1064 nm) polarization lidar and a tropospheric ozone differential absorption lidar (DIAL). We used these lidars to make continuous measurements over Saga (33.24° N, 130.29° E) during 20–31 March 2015. High ozone and high aerosol concentrations were observed almost simultaneously in the altitude range 0.5–1.5 km from 03:00 to 20:00 Japan Standard Time (JST) on 22 March 2015. The maximum ozone volume mixing ratio was ∼ 110 ppbv. The maxima of the aerosol extinction coefficient and optical depth at 532 nm were 1.2 km−1 and 2.1, respectively. Backward trajectory analysis and the simulations by the Model of Aerosol Species IN the Global AtmospheRe (MASINGAR) mk-2 and the Meteorological Research Institute Chemistry-Climate Model, version 2 (MRI-CCM2), indicated that mineral dust particles from the Gobi Desert and an air mass with high ozone and aerosol (mainly sulfate) concentrations that originated from the North China Plain could have been transported over the measurement site within about 2 days. These high ozone and aerosol concentrations impacted surface air quality substantially in the afternoon of 22 March 2015. After some modifications of its physical and chemical parameters, MRI-CCM2 approximately reproduced the high ozone volume mixing ratio. MASINGAR mk-2 successfully predicted high aerosol concentrations, but the predicted peak aerosol optical thickness was about one-third of the observed value.

Abstract: Solar absorption spectra in the near-infrared region have been continuously acquired with a ground-based (g-b) high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) at Saga, Japan, since July 2011. Column-averaged dry-air mole fractions of greenhouse gases were retrieved from the measured spectra for the period from July 2011 to December 2014. Aircraft measurements of CO2 and CH4 for calibrating the g-b FTS data were performed in January 2012 and 2013, and it is found that the g-b FTS and aircraft data agree to within ± 0.2 %. The column-averaged dry-air mole fractions of CO2 and CH4 (XCO2 and XCH4) show increasing trends, with average growth rates of 2.3 and 9.5 ppb yr−1, respectively, during the ∼ 3.5 yr of observation. We compared the g-b FTS XCO2 and XCH4 data with those derived from backscattered solar spectra in the short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) region measured with Thermal And Near-infrared Sensor for carbon Observation–Fourier Transform Spectrometer (TANSO-FTS) onboard the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT): NIES SWIR Level 2 products (versions 02.xx). Average differences between TANSO-FTS and g-b FTS data (TANSO-FTS minus g-b FTS) are 0.40 ± 2.51 and −7.6 ± 13.7 ppb for XCO2 and XCH4, respectively. Using aerosol information measured with a sky radiometer at Saga, we found that the differences between the TANSO-FTS and g-b FTS XCO2 data are moderately negatively correlated with aerosol optical thickness and do not depend explicitly on aerosol size. In addition, from several aerosol profiles measured with lidar located right by the g-b FTS, we were able to show that the presence of cirrus clouds tends to cause an overestimation in the TANSO-FTS XCO2 retrieval, while high aerosol loading in the lower troposphere tends to cause an underestimation.

3. DIAL measurement of lower tropospheric ozone over Saga (33.24° N, 130.29° E), Japan, and comparison with a chemistry–climate model

Abstract: We have improved an ozone DIfferential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) system, originally developed in March 2010. The improved DIAL system consists of a Nd:YAG laser and a 2 m Raman cell filled with 8.1 × 105 Pa of CO2 gas which generate four Stokes lines (276, 287, 299, and 312 nm) of stimulated Raman scattering, and two receiving telescopes with diameters of 49 and 10 cm. Using this system, 44 ozone profiles were observed in the 1–6 km altitude range over Saga (33.24° N, 130.29° E) in 2012. High-ozone layers were observed at around 2 km altitude during April and May. Ozone column amounts within the 1–6 km altitude range were almost constant (19.1 DU on average) from January to March, and increased to 26.7 DU from late April to July. From mid-July through August, ozone column amounts decreased greatly to 14.3 DU because of exchanges of continental and maritime air masses. Then in mid-September they increased again to 22.1 DU within 1−6 km, and subsequently decreased slowly to 17.3 DU, becoming almost constant by December. The Meteorological Research Institute's chemistry–climate model version 2 (MRI-CCM2) successfully predicted most of these ozone variations with the following exceptions. MRI-CCM2 could not predict the high-ozone volume mixing ratios measured at around 2 km altitude on 5 May and 11 May, possibly in part because emissions were assumed in the model to be constant (climatological data were used). Ozone volume mixing ratios predicted by MRI-CCM2 were low in the 2–6 km range on 7 July and high in the 1–4 km range on 19 July compared with those measured by DIAL.

Abstract: An increase in stratospheric aerosols caused by the volcanic eruption of Mt. Nabro (13.37° N, 41.70° E) on 12 June 2011 was detected by lidar at Tsukuba (36.05° N, 140.13° E) and Saga (33.24° N, 130.29° E) in Japan. The maximum backscattering ratios at a wavelength of 532 nm were 2.0 at 17.0 km on 10 July 2011 at Tsukuba and 3.6 at 18.2 km on 23 June 2011 at Saga. The maximum integrated backscattering coefficients (IBCs) at 532 nm above the first tropopause height were 4.18×10−4 sr−1 on 11 February 2012 at Tsukuba and 4.19×10−4 sr−1 on 23 June 2011 at Saga, respectively. A time series of lidar observational results at Tsukuba have also been reported from January 2008 through May 2012. Increases in stratospheric aerosols were observed after the volcanic eruptions of Mt. Kasatochi (52.18° N, 175.51° E) in August 2008 and Mt. Sarychev Peak (48.09° N, 153.20° E) in June 2009. The yearly averaged IBCs at Tsukuba were 2.54×10−4 sr−1, 2.48×10−4 sr−1, 2.45×10−4 sr−1, and 2.20×10−4 sr−1 for 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011, respectively. These values were about twice the IBC background level (1.21×10−4 sr−1) from 1997 to 2001 at Tsukuba. We briefly discuss the influence of the increased aerosols on climate and the implications for analysis of satellite data.

Abstract: Abstract Nanometer-sized crystals (nanolites) play an important role in controlling eruptions by affecting the viscosity of magmas and inducing bubble nucleation. We present detailed microscopic and nanoscopic petrographic analyses of nanolite-bearing and nanolite-free pumice from the 2021 eruption of Fukutoku-Oka-no-Ba, Japan. The nanolite mineral assemblage includes biotite, which is absent from the phenocryst mineral assemblage, and magnetite and clinopyroxene, which are observed as phenocrysts. The boundary between the nanolite-bearing brown glass and nanolite-free colorless glass is either sharp or gradational, and the sharp boundaries also appear sharp under the transmitted electron microscope. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis of the volcanic glass revealed that the nanolite-free colorless glass records an oxygen fugacity of QFM + 0.98 (log units), whereas the nanolite-bearing brown glass records a higher apparent oxygen fugacity (~ QFM + 2). Thermodynamic modelling using MELTS indicates that higher oxygen fugacities increase the liquidus temperature and thus induced the crystallization of magnetite nanolites. The hydrous nanolite mineral assemblage and glass oxygen fugacity estimates suggest that an oxidizing fluid supplied by a hot mafic magma induced nanolite crystallization in the magma reservoir, before the magma fragmentation. The oxidation-induced nanolite crystallization then enhanced heterogeneous bubble nucleation, resulting in convection in the magma reservoir and triggering the eruption.

6. 3D crystal size distributions of pyroxene nanolites from nano X-ray computed tomography: Improved correction of crystal size distributions from CSDCorrections for magma ascent dynamics in conduits

Author: Shota H. Okumura, Mayumi Mujin, Akira Tsuchiyama, and Akira Miyake
Subjects: Geophysics, Geochemistry and Petrology
Abstract: Groundmass crystals indicate syneruptive magmatic conditions, and thus their crystal size distributions (CSDs) are used to infer magma ascent histories. Three-dimensional (3D) CSDs are most commonly estimated from two-dimensional (2D) observations and plotted against long-axis length, L (hereafter referred to as “L-plot CSDs”). However, L-plot CSDs have two significant problems: the error because of the conversion from 2D to 3D and a lowered sensitivity to changes in the degree of effective undercooling (ΔTeff), which arises because a crystal’s growth rate varies with ΔTeff most strongly along its long dimension. Although these problems can result in false interpretations of magma ascent dynamics, there has been little discussion of the influence of the size criteria on CSDs. In this study, we investigated which 3D size criterion [i.e., long (L), intermediate (I), or short (S) axis length] is optimum for 2D-estimated CSDs of groundmass crystals from two perspectives: (1) conformity with the actual distributions, and (2) the sensitivity of CSD slopes to the magma ascent conditions in the conduit. We observed groundmass pyroxene crystals in pumice clasts from sub-Plinian and Vulcanian eruptive phases during the 2011 eruption of Shinmoedake (andesitic volcano, Japan) by using synchrotron radiation-based X-ray computed nanotomography (SR-XCT) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and rein-vestigated the crystallization kinetics of pyroxene nanolites ranging in width from a few hundred nanometers to 1 µm. The SR-XCT observations provided the detailed 3D shapes and 3D CSDs (CT-CSDs) of these nanolites directly. The FE-SEM observations allowed us to estimate 3D aspect ratios (S:I:L) and CSDs (SEM-CSDs). L-plot SEM-CSDs, acquired using the program CSDCorrections, were used to calculate S-plot SEM-CSDs and I-plot SEM-CSDs. We compared the data from FE-SEM with those from SR-XCT to evaluate the accuracy of 3D aspect ratios and CSDs estimated from 2D data. The L-plot SEM-CSDs from the sub-Plinian pumice sample showed significant inconsistencies with the CTCSD, a result of the difficulty in estimating representative 3D aspect ratios from 2D observations for elongated groundmass crystals. In contrast, the S- and I-plot SEM-CSDs kept the effect of aspect ratio to a minimum and preserved their actual slopes, except for a vertical discrepancy between the CSDs. Moreover, the slopes of S- and I-plot CSDs of the nanolites differed more markedly between the two eruptive styles (by ~20% more) than those of L-plot CSDs. For estimating magma ascent dynamics, we propose that the optimum method for acquiring SEM-CSDs is to measure the cross-sectional widths of crystals and convert the resulting 2D data set into S-plot CSDs. Our new finding that the 3D shapes and CSDs of pyroxene nanolites differ according to eruptive style means that nanolites indicate distinct differences in ascent histories at the shallow conduit: increasing ΔTeff just before sub-Plinian eruptions and decreasing ΔTeff before Vulcanian eruptions. Given the similarity in CSDs of micro-lites, our results suggest that eruptive style was determined in the shallow conduit. Monitoring the condition of the shallow conduit may contribute to predicting the time evolution of eruptive activity.

Abstract: Background Adequate nutrition has been proposed for better cardiovascular prognosis as well as fitness, although the impact of the “changes” in nutrition and fitness at recovery phase on the future prognosis has been unclear. Purpose We aimed to examine whether the change in nutritional level as a result of dietary intervention combined with exercise would determine patients' cardiovascular prognosis. Methods This study involved 398 consecutive patients who participated in phase II comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) for at least three months. All patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) at the initial and completion periods of CCR. Individual dietary guidance was periodically performed with exercise. Peak oxygen uptake (PVO2) was measured through CPX to evaluate the fitness level, whereas nutritional status was evaluated using the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). Patients were divided in two groups according to the baseline GNRI and the change in GNRI (ΔGNRI) by the median, respectively, to compare their prognosis between groups. Then they were classified into four categories according to the median values of the changes in GNRI (ΔGNRI) and PVO2 (ΔPVO2) during CCR: “Both improved”, “Only GNRI improved”, “Only PVO2 improved” and “Both NOT improved”, to compare MACCE-free rate between categories. Results The rate of MACCE showed significant difference between categories (14%, 18%, 19% and 36%, p Conclusion Changes in nutritional level would determine patients' cardiovascular prognosis rather than the baseline nutritional level. Non-responders who showed no improvement in nutritional or fitness by interventions may result in a poor cardiovascular outcome. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: None

Abstract: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) oxidative susceptibility is recognized as a risk factor for atherosclerosis. We previously reported that the ingestion of a supplement containing sesame lignans (sesamin/episesamin) for 4 weeks reduced LDL oxidative susceptibility in humans.To elucidate the mechanisms underlying this observation, 12-week-old New Zealand White rabbits were fed a fat/cholesterol-enriched diet (100 g/day) for 6 weeks followed by oral administration of vehicle (control) or sesame lignans (50 mg/kg) for 4 weeks with the fat/cholesterol-enriched diet.The results showed that the ingestion of sesame lignans prolonged LDL oxidation lag time, regardless of the existence of the anti-oxidative catechol metabolite of sesamin/episesamin in LDL. Plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) activity was significantly reduced by sesame lignans. The prolongation of LDL oxidation lag time was abolished by the addition of a PAF-AH inhibitor. The expression level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and macrophage infiltration observed in the liver following the feeding of the fat/cholesterol-enriched diet were also significantly reduced by sesame lignans.These results indicate that sesame lignans reduce LDL oxidative susceptibility by downregulating plasma PAF-AH activity via the reduction of inflammation in the liver induced by fat/cholesterol-enriched diets.

Abstract: The composition dependence of transition temperatures on quaternary Co-Fe-Ni-Ga melt-spun alloys with constant Ga content are examined. A few at.% of Fe replacement for Co in Co50Ni22Ga28 drastically reduce martensitic transformation temperature (TM) whereas ferromagnetic transition temperature (Tc) remains above 400 K. Increasing Ni instead of Co in Fe doped specimen can raise TM around room temperature again. Further increase of Fe content with this manner, the alloys finally connected to ternary Ni-Fe-Ga of ferromagnetic shape memory region. The martensitic transition start temperature (MS) of Co-Fe-Ni-Ga28 alloys show good correlation with the valence electron ratio (e/a). The MS vs e/a plot clearly shows that trend lines are separated for each Fe content, and intervals of trend lines seem to be proportional to Fe content at lower Fe region. The Tc and saturation magnetization of Co-Fe-Ni-Ga28 alloys show almost linear relation with magnetic valence Zm.

Abstract: We calculate transverse spin susceptibility in the linear response method based on the ground states determined in the quasiparticle self-consistent $GW$ (QSGW) method. Then we extract spin-wave (SW) dispersions from the susceptibility. We treat bcc Fe, hcp Co, fcc Ni, and B2-type FeCo. Because of the better description of the independent-particle picture in QSGW, calculated spin stiffness constants for Fe, Co, and Ni give much better agreement with experiments in QSGW than those in the local density approximation (LDA); the stiffness for Ni in LDA is two times greater than in experiment. For Co, both acoustic and optical branches of SWs agree with experiment. As for FeCo, we have some discrepancy between the spin stiffness in QSGW and that in experiment. We may need further theoretical and experimental investigations on the discrepancy.

Abstract: Objective: Whether intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) associated with non–vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC-ICH) has a better outcome compared to ICH associated with vitamin K antagonists (VKA-ICH) is uncertain. Methods: We performed a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis of cohort studies comparing clinical and radiological outcomes between NOAC-ICH and VKA-ICH patients. The primary outcome measure was 30-day all-cause mortality. All outcomes were assessed in multivariate regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, ICH location, and intraventricular hemorrhage extension. Results: We included 7 eligible studies comprising 219 NOAC-ICH and 831 VKA-ICH patients (mean age = 77 years, 52.5% females). The 30-day mortality was similar between NOAC-ICH and VKA-ICH (24.3% vs 26.5%; hazard ratio = 0.94, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.67–1.31). However, in multivariate analyses adjusting for potential confounders, NOAC-ICH was associated with lower admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (linear regression coefficient = −2.83, 95% CI = −5.28 to −0.38), lower likelihood of severe stroke (NIHSS > 10 points) on admission (odds ratio [OR] = 0.50, 95% CI = 0.30–0.84), and smaller baseline hematoma volume (linear regression coefficient = −0.24, 95% CI = −0.47 to −0.16). The two groups did not differ in the likelihood of baseline hematoma volume < 30cm3 (OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 0.81–1.62), hematoma expansion (OR = 0.97, 95% CI = 0.63–1.48), in-hospital mortality (OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.49–1.11), functional status at discharge (common OR = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.57–1.07), or functional status at 3 months (common OR = 1.03, 95% CI = 0.75–1.43). Interpretation: Although functional outcome at discharge, 1 month, or 3 months was comparable after NOAC-ICH and VKA-ICH, patients with NOAC-ICH had smaller baseline hematoma volumes and less severe acute stroke syndromes.

Abstract: We have succeeded to fabricate body-centered cubic (bcc) single phase of Fe–Mn–Ga alloys using melt-spinning technique. Heusler type L21 structure of Fe2MnGa alloy are predicted to have half-metallic properties, however bulk Fe2MnGa alloys crystallize into face-centered cubic (fcc) lattice with small admixture of bcc phase. By changing either ejection temperature or rotation speed of melt-spinning processing parameters, fcc or bcc lattice can be obtained from same precursor ingot. For stoichiometric Fe2MnGa as-spun alloy, super-lattice diffraction peaks indicative of L21 structure are observed from XRD measurements. The as-spun bcc alloys transform into ferromagnetic hexagonal lattice by thermal annealing.

Abstract: The influence of quenching rate on the magnetic and martensitic properties of Ni–Fe–Al β phase alloys, with Al content less than 25 at.%, was investigated through melt-spinning. Rapidly solidified ribbons with different rotation speeds were fabricated for comparison. Microstructure observation and X-ray diffraction measurements revealed that lower quenching rate produced a β + γ two phase structure, whereas higher rate could produce a single β phase in a certain range of composition. The solid solution range of the β phase can be extended to lower Al content range by preventing the precipitation of the γ phase with an appropriate quenching rate. In Ni 75− x Fe x Al 25 ferromagnetic shape memory alloys, the magnetic transition temperatures ( T C ) are limited to below 250 K in conventional processing, which is a disadvantage for practical applications. In the ribbons with lower Al content and higher quenching rate, both T C and martensitic transformation temperatures ( T M ) became simultaneously around room temperature. The T M and T C showed a linear dependence with average electron concentration e / a and the magnetic valence Z m , respectively.

The smart shoes are equipped with acceleration sensors in the sole and Bluetooth LE (BLE) modules, which were driven by PVEHs composed of piezoelectric bimorph cantilevers. We have confirmed the capability of the PVEHs to frequently transmit the sensing data from the beacons of BLE when the subjects practically run while wearing shoes.

Abstract: Summary It is still controversial whether patients with a history of gastrectomy have high risk of esophageal carcinogenesis. On the other hand, the treatment strategy for esophageal cancer patients after gastrectomy is complicated. The association between histories of gastrectomy and esophageal carcinogenesis was retrospectively analyzed, and the treatment of esophageal cancer patients after gastrectomy was evaluated based on questionnaire data collected from multiple centers in Kyushu, Japan. The initial subject population comprised 205 esophageal cancer patients after gastrectomy. Among them, 108 patients underwent curative surgical treatment, and 70 patients underwent chemoradiation therapy (CRT). The time between gastrectomy and esophageal cancer development was longer in peptic ulcer patients (28.3 years) than in gastric cancer patients (9.6 years). There were no differences in the location of esophageal cancer according to the gastrectomy reconstruction method. There were no significant differences in the clinical background characteristics between patients with and without a history of gastrectomy. Among the 108 patients in the surgery group, the 5‐year overall survival rates for stages I (n = 30), II (n = 18), and III (n = 60) were 68.2%, 62.9%, and 32.1%, respectively. In the CRT group, the 5‐year overall survival rate of stage I (n = 29) was 82.6%, but there were no 5‐year survivors in other stages. The 5‐year overall survival rate of patients with CR (n = 33) or salvage surgery (n = 10) was 61.2% or 36%, respectively. For the treatment of gastrectomized esophageal cancer patients, surgery or CRT is recommended for stage I, and surgery with or without adjuvant therapy is the main central treatment in advanced stages, with surgery for stage II, neoadjuvant therapy + surgery for stage III, and CRT + salvage surgery for any stage, if the patient's condition permits.

Abstract: It is well established that the molecular weight of recycled PP decreases significantly as compared to the virgin material. Hence this study involved 2 PP grades of different molecular weights in order to simulate the recycling process. The effect of weight–average molecular weight on interfacial adhesion between GF and PP was investigated. Tensile test was done and the fiber length distribution around the fracture zone in both composites was compared with the distributions from similar locations of unstressed composites. The effect of PP-grafted maleic anhydride coupling agent was also studied. It was found that a decrease in weight–average molecular weight of PP improved interfacial adhesive strength between GF/PP. The lower molecular weight matrix has a lower viscosity that enables its molecules to penetrate easily into the silane interphase. In that case, the interfacial area that is available for coupling is higher, leading to a more effective coupling. The higher interfacial shear strength between the glass fiber and the lower molecular weight matrix induced more breakage of the glass fiber during tensile test.

Abstract: In this work we propose a standard practice covering temperature calibration of a Si substrate, ranging from 400 to 1000 °C, for temperature programmed desorption (TPD) analysis. The practice consists of heating silicon calibration materials at a controlled rate in a TPD instrument, measuring characteristic desorption peak temperatures, and quadratic calibration fitting the measured temperatures to standard temperatures. The calibration materials are (1) a CaC2O4⋅H2O pellet on Si, (2) Ar, and (3) H ion implanted into Si wafers. The standard temperatures of the characteristic desorption, associated with decomposition, structural transformation, and lamination of Si, were determined by a special TPD instrument with the highest isothermal space around the specimen in several laboratories, which was confirmed to be accurate for practical application. The precision of this practice was determined in an interlaboratory test in which four to five laboratories participated using two different instrumental models. This proved that the correction practice provided interlaboratory precision of 5.7 °C between 400 and 1000 °C for ramping rates of 10, 30, and 60 °C/min.

Abstract: It is difficult to resurface skin defects of the sole because of its unique anatomy, which is resistant to mechanical stimuli. Though various methods have been reported, few are functionally satisfactory, and it is especially difficult to repair the distal plantar area. We report a reconstruction of the distal plantar area using a flexor digitorum brevis muscle flap based on a reverse-flow lateral plantar artery pedicle in a patient with a malignant melanoma on the right lateral metatarsal head of the fifth toe. The muscle flap was sufficient to cover the exposed fifth metatarsal and was covered with a full-thickness skin graft. The result was favourable and the patient has a normal gait and no pressure sores.

21. Inhibitory Activities of Metal Chelators on Endothelin-Converting Enzyme. I. In Vitro Studies

Abstract: The effects of various metal chelators on endothelin (ET)-converting enzyme (ECE) activity were examined in vitro. Three chelators, 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol (DMP), toluene-3,4-dithiol (TDT) and 8-mercaptoquinoline (8-MQ), were found to dose-dependently inhibit ECE activity, but this inhibition was much weaker compared with EDTA. In the presence of Zn2+, the inhibitory activity of all these compounds, including EDTA, was abolished. The addition of Ca2+ and Mg2+ markedly attenuated the inhibitory activity of EDTA, but the other three chelators were still able to inhibit ECE. ECE, once inactivated by EDTA or 8-MQ, was reactivated by the addition of divalent cations such as Zn2+ and Mn2+. These compounds also inhibited angiotensin-converting enzyme activity in a manner similar to the inhibition exhibited towards ECE. Chelate-titration indicated that DMP, TDT and 8-MQ chelate Zn2+ but not Ca2+ and Mg2+. These results suggest that the ECE inhibition exhibited by these compounds is mainly attributable to their chelating activities. The metal-selective chelating activity by DMP, TDT and 8-MQ may contribute to the retention of ECE inhibition in the presence of Ca2+ and Mg2+.

22. Characterization of the calcium-sensitive voltage-gated delayed rectifier potassium channel in isolated guinea pig hepatocytes

Abstract: The voltage-dependent K+ channel was examined in enzymatically isolated guinea pig hepatocytes using whole-cell, excised outside-out and inside-out configurations of the patch-clamp technique. The resting membrane potential in isolated hepatocytes was -25.3 +/- 4.9 mV (n = 40). Under the whole-cell voltage-clamp, the time-dependent delayed rectifier outward current was observed at membrane potentials positive to -20 mV at physiological temperature (37 degrees C). The reversal potential of the current, as determined from tail current measurements, shifted by approximately 57 mV per 10-fold change in the external K+ concentration. In addition, the current did not appear when K+ was replaced with Cs+ in the internal and external solutions, indicating that the current was carried by K+ ions. The envelope test of the tails demonstrated that the growth of the tail current followed that of the current activation. The ratio between the activated current and the tail amplitude was constant during the depolarizing step. The time course of growth and deactivation of the tail current were best described by a double exponential function. The current was suppressed in Ca(2+)-free, 5 mM EGTA internal or external solution (pCa > 9). The activation curve (P infinity curve) was not shifted by changing the internal Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). The current was inhibited by bath application of 4-aminopyridine or apamin. alpha 1-Adrenergic stimulation with noradrenaline enhanced the current but beta-adrenergic stimulation with isoproterenol had no effect on the current. In single-channel recordings from outside-out patches, unitary current activity was observed by depolarizing voltage-clamp steps whose slope conductance was 9.5 +/- 2.2 pS (n = 10). The open time distribution was best described by a single exponential function with the mean open lifetime of 18.5 +/- 2.6 ms (n = 14), while at least two exponentials were required to fit the closed time distributions with a time constant for the fast component of 2.0 +/- 0.3 ms (n = 14) and that for the slow component of 47.7 +/- 5.9 ms (n = 14). Ensemble averaged current exhibited delayed rectifier nature which was consistent with whole-cell measurements. In excised inside-out patch recordings, channel open probability was sensitive to [Ca2+]i. The concentration of Ca2+ at the half-maximal activation was 0.031 microM. These results suggest that guinea pig hepatocytes possess voltage-gated delayed rectifier K+ channels which are modified by intracellular Ca2+.

Abstract: The ATLAS Inner Detector is a composite tracking system consisting of silicon pixels, silicon strips and straw tubes in a 2 T magnetic field. Its installation was completed in August 2008 and the detector took part in data-taking with single LHC beams and cosmic rays. The initial detector operation, hardware commissioning and in-situ calibrations are described. Tracking performance has been measured with 7. 6 million cosmic-ray events, collected using a tracking trigger and reconstructed with modular pattern-recognition and fitting software. The intrinsic hit efficiency and tracking trigger efficiencies are close to 100%. Lorentz angle measurements for both electrons and holes, specific energy-loss calibration and transition radiation turn-on measurements have been performed. Different alignment techniques have been used to reconstruct the detector geometry. After the initial alignment, a transverse impact parameter resolution of 22. 1±0. 9 μm and a relative momentum resolution σp/p=(4. 83±0. 16)×10-4 GeV-1×pT have been measured for high momentum tracks. © 2010 CERN for the benefit of the ATLAS collaboration.

Abstract: The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider has collected several hundred million cosmic ray events during 2008 and 2009. These data were used to commission the Muon Spectrometer and to study the performance of the trigger and tracking chambers, their alignment, the detector control system, the data acquisition and the analysis programs. We present the performance in the relevant parameters that determine the quality of the muon measurement. We discuss the single element efficiency, resolution and noise rates, the calibration method of the detector response and of the alignment system, the track reconstruction efficiency and the momentum measurement. The results show that the detector is close to the design performance and that the Muon Spectrometer is ready to detect muons produced in high energy proton-proton collisions. © 2010 CERN for the benefit of the ATLAS collaboration.

Abstract: The simulation software for the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is being used for large-scale production of events on the LHC Computing Grid. This simulation requires many components, from the generators that simulate particle collisions, through packages simulating the response of the various detectors and triggers. All of these components come together under the ATLAS simulation infrastructure. In this paper, that infrastructure is discussed, including that supporting the detector description, interfacing the event generation, and combining the GEANT4 simulation of the response of the individual detectors. Also described are the tools allowing the software validation, performance testing, and the validation of the simulated output against known physics processes. © 2010 CERN for the benefit of the ATLAS collaboration.

Abstract: Epidermal cell differentiation inhibitor (EDIN) is a recently discovered protein which inhibits terminal differentiation of cultured keratinocytes (Sugai, M., Enomoto, T., Hashimoto, K., Matsumoto, K., Matsuo, Y., Ohgai, H., Hong, Y.-M., Inoue, S., Yoshikawa, K., and Suginaka, H. (1990) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 173, 92-98). The amino acid sequenced deduced from the EDIN gene has revealed that EDIN shares high amino acid sequence homology with the exoenzyme C3 of Clostridium botulinum (Inoue, S., Sugai, M., Murooka, Y., Paik, S.-Y., Hong, Y.-M., Ohgai, H., and Suginaka, H. (1991) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 174, 459-464), which has been shown to ADP-ribosylate the rho/rac proteins (members of the small GTP-binding protein family). We show here that EDIN ADP-ribosylates rhoB p21 in time- and dose-dependent manners in a cell-free system. Kinetic studies of the ADP-ribosylation and peptide mapping of the reaction products of rhoB p21 by EDIN and C3 suggest that the mode of action of the ADP-ribosylation by EDIN is quite similar to that by C3 and that the ADP-ribosylation site of rhoB p21 by EDIN is presumably the same as that by C3. Proteins in epidermal membranes and keratinocyte homogenate with Mr values of about 22,000 are ADP-ribosylated by EDIN or C3. Treatment of cultured human keratinocytes by EDIN or C3 results in an inhibition of terminal differentiation and a stimulation of growth of the cells. Moreover, EDIN and C3 injected into adult mouse skin induce hyperplasia of epidermis. These results suggest that EDIN and C3 affect growth and differentiation of keratinocytes by ADP-ribosylation of protein(s) with a Mr of about 22,000, which may be the rho/rac proteins or related proteins.

Abstract: A knowledge of fluoride uptake and distribution in tooth deposits and underlying tooth surfaces could provide useful information about availability and action of fluoride in the oral environment and oral fluids. Fluoride concentration and distribution were therefore measured in supra- and subgingival calculus and at the underlying enamel or cementum surfaces using a mechanical sampling technique and a fluoride electrode (Weatherell et al., 1985).In this study, twenty extracted teeth with supragingival calculus and twenty teeth with subgingival calculus removed from subjects aged 44 to 67 years old were used. Phosphorus distributions were also determined using a x-ray microanalyser.The results were as follows;1) Fluoride concenerations were highest at the surface of dental calculus. There was a lower level plateau for the interior, which rose again as the tooth surface was approached.2) Supragingival calculus tended to show a smoother profile compared with that of subgingival calculus.

Abstract: Stenosis of the subclavian artery proximal to the origin of the internal mammary artery (IMA) used for coronary artery bypass grafting may produce flow reversal (steal syndrome) and cause myocardial ischemia. We present three cases of subclavian artery stenosis proximal to the IMA before and after CABG. The first case developed symptomatic myocardial ischemia resulting from a variant of coronary-subclavian steal syndrome. The second case had asymptomatic subclavian artery stenosis proximal to the IMA used for CABG. In the third case we planned to perform CABG using the left IMA to treat cardiac ischemia. All of the patients were successfully treated by stent placement without the use of a protection device. In the first and second cases, cardiac ischemia did not appear during balloon inflation of the subclavian artery and no embolic complication occurred. In the third case, CABG was performed six months after stenting. Subclavian artery stenting is a valid alternative to surgical treatment to restore the flow to the IMA before or after CABG.

Abstract: Five acetic acid-sensitive mutants of Acetobacter aceti subsp. aceti no. 1023 were isolated by mutagenesis with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Three recombinant plasmids that complemented the mutations were isolated from a gene bank of the chromosome DNA of the parental strain constructed in Escherichia coli by using cosmid vector pMVC1. One of these plasmids (pAR1611), carrying about a 30-kilobase-pair (kb) fragment that conferred acetic acid resistance to all five mutants, was further analyzed. Subcloning experiments indicated that a 8.3-kb fragment was sufficient to complement all five mutations. To identify the mutation loci and genes involved in acetic acid resistance, insertional inactivation was performed by insertion of the kanamycin resistance gene derived from E. coli plasmid pACYC177 into the cloned 8.3-kb fragment and successive integration into the chromosome of the parental strain. The results suggested that three genes, designated aarA, aarB, and aarC, were responsible for expression of acetic acid resistance. Gene products of these genes were detected by means of overproduction in E. coli by use of the lac promoter. The amino acid sequence of the aarA gene product deduced from the nucleotide sequence was significantly similar to those of the citrate synthases (CSs) of E. coli and other bacteria. The A. aceti mutants defective in the aarA gene were found to lack CS activity, which was restored by introduction of a plasmid containing the aarA gene. A mutation in the CS gene of E. coli was also complemented by the aarA gene. These results indicate that aarA is the CS gene.

Abstract: Persistent dry cough is well known as the most common side-effect of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. We examined the relationship between a cough and ACE gene polymorphism, plasma bradykinin (BK), substance P (SP) and ACE inhibitor concentrations in patients with hypertension or chronic nephritis. First, ACE genotyping was carried out in 96 patients, 42 with coughs and 54 without coughs, which had been treated with various kinds of ACE inhibitors. However, no significant difference in the ACE genotypes was observed between the two groups. Second, the plasma concentrations of BK, SP and ACE inhibitor were measured in 12 patients, which were treated with trandolapril at a daily dose of 1 mg for 4-33 weeks. In 3 patients, the cough was induced during the trandolapril therapy, while it was induced not in 9 patients. The plasma levels of BK and SP did not significantly change after trandolapril administration in the patients with and without coughs. Between the two groups, there were no significant differences in the plasma levels of BK and SP either before or after the trandolapril therapy. Also the plasma concentrations of trandolapril and trandolaprilat, the active metabolite of trandolapril, did not significantly differ between the two groups. These results suggest that there is no significant relationship between the ACE inhibitor-induced cough and ACE gene polymorphism, plasma BK, SP and ACE inhibitor concentrations in patients with hypertension or chronic nephritis.

Abstract: Aims We sought to find out what factors are important for long-term prognosis, the small vessel itself or abnormal glucose tolerance, in patients treated with coronary angioplasty. Background Patients with coronary artery disease with diabetes mellitus often show diffuse and small cornary artery narrowing. Impaired glucose tolerance has also been reported to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Methods Among 584 patients who underwent first elective balloon coronary angioplasty, diabetes mellitus and impaired glucose tolerance were present in 197 patients. Large and small vessels were defined by reference vessel diameter before coronary angioplasty as either larger or smaller than 2·5mm. Patients were categorized into the following four groups: 175 patients with normal glucose tolerance and reference diameter 6·0%) at index coronary angioplasty showed worse event free survival than those with good glycaemic control. Conclusions An important determinant for long-term prognosis after coronary angioplasty is a presence of abnormal glucose tolerance per se and not small vessel diameter.

Abstract: Twenty-three patients with HBe antigen-positive chronic hepatitis B were treated with capitalite first letters Maruyama (SSM). HBe antigen turned negative in 15 patients. The levels of various cytokines in pre- and post-treatment frozen serum samples from six patients whose HBe antigen turned negative and from five whose HBe antigen did not were examined. Reduction of serum interleukin (IL) -10 level to below 20 pg/ml was observed after SSM treatment in four of the six patients whose HBe antigen turned negative. SSM was found to stimulate the production of interferon (IFN) -gamma in peripheral blood cells from two healthy volunteers. This stimulatory effect was confirmed in 12 out of 24 healthy volunteers. SSM augmented the production of IFN-gamma in eight out of 10 patients with chronic hepatitis B and nine of 10 with hepatitis C. These results demonstrate for the first time that SSM stimulates the production of IFN-gamma in human peripheral blood cells and also suggest that treatment of HBe antigen-positive chronic hepatitis B patients with SSM leads to the clearance of HBe antigen and normalization of serum aspartate aminotransferase levels through inhibition of IL-10 and stimulation of IFN-gamma.

Abstract: Two cases of severe aortic regurgitation were treated surgically. Both patients had a quadricuspid aortic valve, which was diagnosed preoperatively by aortography and/or transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). In the first patient, both aortic and mitral valve replacement were performed with an ATS prosthetic valve. In the second patient, only aortic valve replacement was performed. The postoperative course was uneventful in both cases. Quadricuspid aortic valve is relatively rare. We discuss the preoperative diagnosis of quadricuspid aortic valve, as well as reviewing the relevant literature.

Abstract: We investigated mid-term results of the patients with an ATS bileaflet valve in our institution. In the past 6 years, 69 patients received valve replacement with an ATS valve. We assessed the changes of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level in the hospital, and the valve's closing sound. The serum LDH level had almost normalized one week postoperatively and they have maintained normal levels since then. According to the questionnaire about the valvular sound at a random period after surgery, it was unnoticeable in 61 (88.4%) of the patients with ATS valve. In the 8 patients (12.6%) who recognized the valve sound, 7 of them were reoperation cases. As to the frequency analysis for the valve's closing sound, the sound peak was indicated at around 1.2 kHz in the patients with ATS valves. In patients with St. Jude Medical (SJM) valves, it appeared not only around 1.2 kHz but also around 2 to 7 kHz. Postoperative cerebral infarction was complicated in one patient. Mortality occurred in 4 (5.7%) of the patients with ATS valves. The follow up periods were from one to 66 months. Thromboembolic event free and actuarial survival rate in the patients with ATS valves were 98.6% and 94.2%, respectively. These results indicated that the ATS valve is considered to be a safe valve and mid-term follow-up shows excellent results in terms of the patients quality of life.

Abstract: Twenty-six patients were treated by surgical procedure for aortic diseases with use of Gelatin Resorcin Formalin (GRF) glue. They consisted of 25 cases of emergency surgery for type A acute aortic dissection (AAD) and one elective case of distal arch aneurysm. Fifteen patients had moderate to massive aortic regurgitation (AR). We applied GRF glue to adhere the false lumen. It was further applied to anastomosed stitches from the outer side of the aorta. We evaluated the intraoperative effects of it in terms of adhesion and hemostasis and postoperative aortic regurgitation. Furthermore, the mid-term survival rate was investigated. In all cases, the 2 layers were able to be adhered successfully. Furthermore, it was very easy for suturing to pass through the aortic wall, even though the aortic stump was very hard. However, in the distal arch aneurysm case, additional sutures were needed to control the bleeding from the anastomosis. In postoperative aortography, residual AR was found in only one case. Operative deaths were indicated in 3 cases (11.5%). One patient died of hepatic failure on the 9th postoperative day. The other patients died of multiple organ failure. There were 3 cases of late death. The actuarial survival rate at 35 months was 76. 9%. According to these results, we recommend that GRF glue is very effective to reinforce the diseased aortic wall and will improve long-term survival. However, it is considered that the hemostasis effect of GRF glue is not sufficient to be used on anastomosed stitches from the outer side of the aorta.

Abstract: A Jostra Rota Flow centrifugal blood pump was clinically applied for a cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) of an ascending aortic replacement for type A aortic dissection. The patient was a 68-year-old female with Stanford type A, DeBakey type II thrombosed aortic dissection complicated by cardiac tamponade and moderate aortic regurgitation. The surgery was carried out on December 22, 1998. The air inside the pump was easily and quickly removed, and its mode of control was excellent. The pump flow during the operation was maintained at about 2.2 l/m2. Total CPB time was 179 minutes. Macroscopically and microscopically, there were no thrombi inside the pump, after usage. The postoperative course was uneventful. The clinical use of this pump was the first case in Japan. This pump is excellent in the ease by which it's controlled due to its compact size and low weight. Furthermore, the Rota Flow console can be fully integrated in the HL-20 heart-lung machine, and these systems have pulsatile flow mode possibility. This pump is suitable not only for the main pump of CPB but also circulatory support.

Abstract: The proteins p53 and p21 are important components that regulate G1-S transition through the cell cycle. We immunohistochemically investigated p53 and p21 expression in 111 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. We also evaluated whether the expression of either of these proteins is a prognostic factor according to the p53-dependent and -independent pathways. The positive rates of p53 and p21 expression were 42.8 and 43.2%, respectively. Clinicopathological findings according to p53 and p21 expression did not differ significantly. The 5-year-survival rates between p21 positive and negative expression did not differ significantly in the p53-positive group. In the p53-negative group, the 5-year-survival rate of patients with p21-positive expression was 22.9%, which was significantly better than that of patients with p21-negative expression (12.7%; P0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that p21 expression in the p53-dependent pathway was an independent prognostic factor. Accordingly, the prognostic values of p21 expression between the p53-dependent and -independent pathways differed. Examination of p21-positive expression in the p53-dependent pathway will help to estimate the favorable prognosis of patients with advanced esophageal carcinoma.

44. Myocardial revascularization without cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with operative risk factors

Author: K, Akiyama, K, Ogasawara, T, Inoue, S, Shindou, H, Okumura, N, Negishi, and Y, Sezai
Subjects: Aged, 80 and over, Male, Cardiopulmonary Bypass, Risk Factors, Myocardial Revascularization, Humans, Female, Middle Aged, Coronary Angiography, Aged
Abstract: We have treated 7 myocardial revascularization cases with operative risk factors, using the beating heart technique without cardiopulmonary bypass. Operative risk factors included left ventricular dysfunction, calcified aorta, chronic renal failure, cerebrovascular accident, immunosupressive state and old age. The 6 males and 1 female ranged in age from 54 to 84 years (mean age 70 years). The mean number of grafts was 1.3 per patient. All were extubated within 3 hours of arrival at the intensive care unit. Inotropic catecholamin support was not necessary on postoperative days. None of our patients had perioperative myocardial infarction. Postoperative angiography showed that all grafts were patent. We have found, based on our experiences, that selected patients can safely undergo CABG without cardiopulmonary support.

49. Core losses of ring-shaped (Fe0.75B0.20Si0.05)96Nb4bulk metallic glasses

Subjects: History, Amorphous metal, Materials science, Metallurgy, Coercivity, Ring (chemistry), Computer Science Applications, Education, law.invention, Core (optical fiber), Magazine, law, Electrical resistivity and conductivity, Composite material, Relative permeability
Abstract: The soft magnetic properties of ring-shaped (Fe0.75B0.20Si0.05)96Nb4 cast bulk metallic glass (BMG) with thickness of 0.3-1.0 mm have been investigated. The BMG specimens exhibit high relative permeability of (9–29)×103 at 0.40 A/m and 50 Hz and low coercivity of 4.0 A/m. The core losses of the 0.3 mm thick BMG specimen are lower than those of commercial Fe-6.5 mass% Si steel (6.5Si) with the same thickness, and are comparable to those of the 0.10 mm thick 6.5Si. The low core losses of the BMG originate from the low coercivity and high electrical resistivity.

Abstract: The terminal oxidase for ethanol oxidation in Acetobacter aceti was purified as a complex consisting of four subunits (subunits I, II, III, and IV) with molecular masses of 72, 34, 21, and 13 kDa, respectively. Spectrophotometric analysis and catalytic properties determined with the purified enzyme showed that it belonged to a family of cytochrome a1 (ba)-type ubiquinol oxidases. A polymerase chain reaction with two oligonucleotides designed for amino acid sequences that are conserved in subunit I of the aa3-type cytochrome c oxidases from various origins and of an Escherichia coli o (bo)-type ubiquinol oxidase was used for cloning the cytochrome a1 gene. A 0.5-kb fragment thus amplified was used as the probe to clone a 4.5-kb KpnI fragment that contained a putative open reading frame for the whole subunit I gene. The molecular weight and amino acid composition of the product of this open reading frame (cyaA) were the same as those of the purified protein from A. aceti. The amino acid sequence of CyaA was homologous to that of subunit I of the E. coli o-type ubiquinol oxidase. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the region neighboring the cyaA gene revealed that the genes (cyaB, cyaC, and cyaD) encoding the other three subunits (subunits II, III, and IV) were clustered upstream and downstream of the cyaA gene in the order cyaB, cyaA, cyaC, and cyaD and with the same transcription polarity, forming an operon. As expected from the enzymatic properties, CyaB, CyaC, and CyaD showed great similarity in amino acid sequence to the corresponding sununits of the E. coli o-type ubiquinol oxidase and as(3)-type cytochrome c oxidases.
