Abstract: New polarizer and launcher systems on a 28-GHz electron-cyclotron (EC) heating and current drive (HCD) system have been developed for non-inductive second-harmonic EC-plasma-current ramp-up in the QUEST spherical tokamak. A launcher system with two quasi-optical mirrors providing beam steering capability was designed to focus the incident beam to a small-sized waist of ∼0.05 m at the second-harmonic EC resonance layer. A relatively large focusing mirror was designed based on a Kirchhoff integral code developed to derive wave solutions. The focusing property of the launched beam was first confirmed with a 3-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic-wave simulator. Focusing characteristics were also checked at low-power test facilities, together with the steering capability. The performance of this launcher system was demonstrated to work as designed, and assembled in the QUEST device. The system was applied to the non-inductive second-harmonic EC plasma ramp-up experiments with no optimization required regarding the incident polarization. The results obtained for the non-inductive plasma ramp-up are also presented.

Abstract: Background: Estimates of the burden of cardio-metabolic risk factors in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) rely on relative risks (RRs) from non-LAC countries. Whether these RRs apply to LAC remains unknown. Methods: We pooled LAC cohorts. We estimated RRs per unit of exposure to body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC) and non-HDL cholesterol on fatal (31 cohorts, n=168,287) and non-fatal (13 cohorts, n=27,554) cardiovascular diseases, adjusting for regression dilution bias. We used these RRs and national data on mean risk factor levels to estimate the number of cardiovascular deaths attributable to non-optimal levels of each risk factor. Results: Our RRs for SBP, FPG and TC were like those observed in cohorts conducted in high-income countries; however, for BMI, our RRs were consistently smaller in people below 75 years of age. Across risk factors, we observed smaller RRs among older ages. Non-optimal SBP was responsible for the largest number of attributable cardiovascular deaths ranging from 38 per 100,000 women and 54 men in Peru, to 261 (Dominica, women) and 282 (Guyana, men). For non-HDL cholesterol, the lowest attributable rate was for women in Peru (21) and men in Guatemala (25), and the largest in men (158) and women (142) from Guyana. Interpretation: RRs for BMI from studies conducted in high-income countries may overestimate disease burden metrics in LAC; conversely, RRs for SBP, FPG and TC from LAC cohorts are similar to those estimated from cohorts in high-income countries.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-01-01 National Cancer Institute National Institute of Mental Health National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Fogarty International Center Alliance for Health Policy and Systems Research Medical Research Council Background Describing the prevalence and trends of cardiometabolic risk factors that are associated with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) is crucial for monitoring progress, planning prevention, and providing evidence to support policy efforts. We aimed to analyse the transition in body-mass index (BMI), obesity, blood pressure, raised blood pressure, and diabetes in the Americas, between 1980 and 2014. Methods We did a pooled analysis of population-based studies with data on anthropometric measurements, biomarkers for diabetes, and blood pressure from adults aged 18 years or older. A Bayesian model was used to estimate trends in BMI, raised blood pressure (systolic blood pressure =140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure =90 mm Hg), and diabetes (fasting plasma glucose =7.0 mmol/L, history of diabetes, or diabetes treatment) from 1980 to 2014, in 37 countries and six subregions of the Americas. Findings 389 population-based surveys from the Americas were available. Comparing prevalence estimates from 2014 with those of 1980, in the non-English speaking Caribbean subregion, the prevalence of obesity increased from 3.9% (95% CI 2.2-6.3) in 1980, to 18.6% (14.3-23.3) in 2014, in men; and from 12.2% (8.2-17.0) in 1980, to 30.5% (25.7-35.5) in 2014, in women. The English-speaking Caribbean subregion had the largest increase in the prevalence of diabetes, from 5.2% (2.1-10.4) in men and 6.4% (2.6-10.4) in women in 1980, to 11.1% (6.4-17.3) in men and 13.6% (8.2-21.0) in women in 2014). Conversely, the prevalence of raised blood pressure has decreased in all subregions; the largest decrease was found in North America from 27.6% (22.3-33.2) in men and 19.9% (15.8-24.4) in women in 1980, to 15.5% (11.1-20.9) in men and 10.7% (7.7-14.5) in women in 2014. Interpretation Despite the generally high prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors across the Americas, estimates also showed a high level of heterogeneity in the transition between countries. The increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes observed over time requires appropriate measures to deal with these public health challenges. Our results support a diversification of health interventions across subregions and countries.

Abstract: Simulation survey performed at TAE Technologies, has demonstrated that high harmonic fast wave (HHFW) heating is a promising scenario to heat core electrons of FRC plasma. To prepare the proposed experimental study of HHFW antenna-plasma coupling and wave propagation on LAPD machine at UCLA, a high-power-capable 4-strap antenna has been calculated and designed through collaboration among TAE, ORNL, ASIPP, and UCLA. This antenna was mechanically designed and fabricated by ASIPP and it has been installed recently on LAPD. Meanwhile, by using the Petra-M code, a newly developed generic electromagnetic simulation tool for modeling RF wave propagation, the RF-SciDAC team starts 3D full wave simulations. Detailed information on antenna electromagnetic simulations and mechanical design, as well as preliminary experimental results of wave propagation study with the newly installed phased- array antenna, will be presented in this paper.

Abstract: Methotrexate (MTX)-induced intestinal mucosal injury in animals has been studied to understand how MTX can cause gastrointestinal disorders, but the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal disorders is still uncertain. We have attempted to reveal how dietary factors influence intestinal toxicity due to MTX. Mice were fed normal chow (NC) or a high-fat high-sucrose diet (HFHSD) before oral administration of MTX. While MTX significantly decreased the survival rates of mice fed HFHSD, the intestinal epithelial injury was detected. MTX excretion in the feces of mice fed HFHSD was reduced. Change of diets between NC and HFHSD influences the survival. The survival rates of the mice fed a high-sucrose diet or control diet were higher than those fed HFHSD. Higher survival rates were observed in mice fed a high-fat high-sucrose diet modified (HFHSD-M) in which casein was replaced by soybean-derived proteins. The survival rates of mice treated with vancomycin were lower than those administered neomycin. Microbiome and metabolome analyses on feces suggest a similarity of the intestinal environments of mice fed NC and HFHSD-M. HFHSD may modify MTX-induced toxicity in intestinal epithelia on account of an altered MTX distribution as a result of change in the intestinal environment.

Abstract: International audience; Three identical new WEST Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) antennas have been designed, assembled then commissioned on plasma from 2013 to 2019. The WEST ICRH system is both load-resilient and compatible with long-pulse operations. The three antennas have been successfully operated together on plasma in 2019 and 2020. The load resilience capability has been demonstrated and the antenna feedback controls for phase and matching have been developed. The breakdown detection systems have been validated and successfully protected the antennas. The use of ICRH in combination with Lower Hybrid has triggered the first high confinement mode transitions identified on WEST.

Abstract: A multi-energy soft x-ray pinhole camera has been designed, built, and deployed at the Madison Symmetric Torus to aid the study of particle and thermal transport, as well as MHD stability physics. This novel imaging diagnostic technique employs a pixelated x-ray detector in which the lower energy threshold for photon detection can be adjusted independently on each pixel. The detector of choice is a PILATUS3 100 K with a 450 μm thick silicon sensor and nearly 100 000 pixels sensitive to photon energies between 1.6 and 30 keV. An ensemble of cubic spline smoothing functions has been applied to the line-integrated data for each time-frame and energy-range, obtaining a reduced standard-deviation when compared to that dominated by photon-noise. The multi-energy local emissivity profiles are obtained from a 1D matrix-based Abel-inversion procedure. Central values of Te can be obtained by modeling the slope of the continuum radiation from ratios of the inverted radial emissivity profiles over multiple energy ranges with no a priori assumptions of plasma profiles, magnetic field reconstruction constraints, high-density limitations, or need of shot-to-shot reproducibility. In tokamak plasmas, a novel application has recently been tested for early detection, 1D imaging, and study of the birth, exponential growth, and saturation of runaway electrons at energies comparable to 100 × Te,0; thus, early results are also presented.

Abstract: Why was the cohort set up? Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are characterized by much diversity in terms of socio-economic status, ecology, environment, access to health care,1,2 as well as the frequency of risk factors for and prevalence or incidence of non-communicable diseases;3–7 importantly, these differences are observed both between and within countries in LAC.8,9 LAC countries share a large burden of non-communicable (e.g. diabetes and hypertension) and cardiovascular (e.g. ischaemic heart disease) diseases, with these conditions standing as the leading causes of morbidity, disability and mortality in most of LAC.10–12 These epidemiological estimates—e.g. morbidity—cannot inform about risk factors or risk prediction, which are relevant to identify prevention avenues. Cohort studies, on the other hand, could provide this evidence. Pooled analysis, using data from multiple cohort studies, have additional strengths such as increased statistical power and decreased statistical uncertainty.13 LAC cohort studies have been under-represented,14 or not included at all,15–17 in international efforts aimed at pooling data from multiple cohort studies. We therefore set out to pool data from LAC cohorts to address research questions that individual cohort studies would not be able to answer. Drawing from previous successful regional enterprises (e.g. Asia Pacific Cohort Studies Collaboration),18,19 we established the Cohorts Consortium of Latin America and the Caribbean (CC-LAC). The main aim of the CC-LAC is to start a collaborative cohort data pooling in LAC to examine the association between cardio-metabolic risk factors (e.g. blood pressure, glucose and lipids) and non-fatal and fatal cardiovascular outcomes (e.g. stroke or myocardial infarction). In so doing, we aim to provide regional risk estimates to inform disease burden metrics, as well as other ambitious projects including a cardiovascular risk score to strengthen cardiovascular prevention in LAC. Initial funding has been provided by a fellowship from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Global Health Research at Imperial College London (Strategic Award, Wellcome Trust–Imperial College Centre for Global Health Research, 100693/Z/12/Z). Additional funding is being provided by an International Training Fellowship from the Wellcome Trust (214185/Z/18/Z). At the time of writing, the daily operations and pooled database are hosted at Imperial College London, though a mid-term goal is to transfer this expertise and operations to LAC. The collaboration relies fundamentally on a strong regional network of health researchers and practitioners

Abstract: A multi-energy soft x-ray pinhole camera has been designed and built for the Madison Symmetric Torus reversed field pinch to aid the study of particle and thermal-transport, as well as MHD stability physics. This novel imaging diagnostic technique combines the best features from both pulse-height-analysis and multi-foil methods employing a PILATUS3 x-ray detector in which the lower energy threshold for photon detection can be adjusted independently on each pixel. Further improvements implemented on the new cooled systems allow a maximum count rate of 10 MHz per pixel and sensitivity to the strong Al and Ar emission between 1.5 and 4 keV. The local x-ray emissivity will be measured in multiple energy ranges simultaneously, from which it is possible to infer 1D and 2D simultaneous profile measurements of core electron temperature and impurity density profiles with no a priori assumptions of plasma profiles, magnetic field reconstruction constraints, high-density limitations, or need of shot-to-shot reproducibility. The expected time and space resolutions will be 2 ms and

Abstract: The Telescope Array experiment studies ultra high energy cosmic rays using a hybrid detector. Fluorescence telescopes measure the longitudinal development of the extensive air shower generated when a primary cosmic ray particle interacts with the atmosphere. Meanwhile, scintillator detectors measure the lateral distribution of secondary shower particles that hit the ground. The Middle Drum (MD) fluorescence telescope station consists of 14 telescopes from the High Resolution Fly’s Eye (HiRes) experiment, providing a direct link back to the HiRes measurements. Using the scintillator detector data in conjunction with the telescope data improves the geometrical reconstruction of the showers significantly, and hence, provides a more accurate reconstruction of the energy of the primary particle. The Middle Drum hybrid spectrum is presented and compared to that measured by the Middle Drum station in monocular mode. Further, the hybrid data establishes a link between the Middle Drum data and the surface array. A comparison between the Middle Drum hybrid energy spectrum and scintillator Surface Detector (SD) spectrum is also shown.

Abstract: Purpose:Radiographic simulator system is useful for learning radiographic techniques and confirmation of positioning before x‐ray irradiation. Conventional x‐ray simulators have drawbacks in cost and size, and are only applicable to situations in which position of the object does not change. Therefore, we have developed a new radiographic simulator system using an infrared‐ray based three‐dimensional shape measurement device (Microsoft Kinect). Methods: We made a computer program using OpenCV and OpenNI for processing of depth image data obtained from Kinect, and calculated the exact distance from Kinect to the object by calibration. Theobject was measured from various directions, and positional relationship between the x‐ray tube and the object was obtained. X‐ray projection images were calculated by projecting x‐rays onto the mathematical three‐dimensional CT data of a head phantom with almost the same size. The object was rotated from 0 degree (standard position) through 90 degrees in increments of 10 degrees, and the accuracy of the measured rotation angle values was evaluated. In order to improve the computational time, the projection image size was changed (512*512, 256*256, and 128*128). Results: The x‐ray simulation images corresponding to the radiographicimages produced by using the x‐ray tube were obtained. The three‐dimensional position of the object was measured with good precision from 0 to 50 degrees, but above 50 degrees, measured position error increased with the increase of the rotation angle. The computational time and image size were 30, 12, and 7 seconds for 512*512, 256*256, and 128*128, respectively. Conclusions: We could measure the three‐dimensional position of the object using properly calibrated Kinect sensor, and obtained projection images at relatively high‐speed using the three‐dimensional CTdata. It was suggested that this system can be used for obtaining simulated projection x‐ray images before x‐ray exposure by attaching this device onto an x‐ray tube.

Abstract: This paper describes a defect-centric based compact modeling methodology for time-dependent threshold voltage variability (V TH ), induced by Bias Temperature Instability (BTI) and Random Telegraph Noise (RTN). A Verilog-A based model wrapper is used to implement a threshold voltage shift by adding a variable voltage source at the gate of the core device model. This compact model allows to incorporate all BTI and RTN related electrostatics and kinetics in standard EDA-tools as a ‘black box’ without any custom simulation flow. It can therefore be used in either a manual configuration for academic purposes or be integrated as is into industry standard EDA tools and simulation flows.

Abstract: Elimination of the central solenoid would simplify the engineering design of a fusion nuclear science facility and tokamak based devices. The method of transient coaxial helicity injection (CHI) has successfully demonstrated formation of a high-quality closed flux plasma in NSTX and will be used as the front end of the start-up method for a full demonstration of noninductive current start-up, followed by noninductive current ramp-up using neutral beams in the NSTX-U device that is now under construction at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. CHI is implemented by driving current along open field lines that connect the lower inner and outer divertor plates of a spherical torus. The engineering system requirements and the design of the CHI system on NSTX-U are described.

Abstract: Die Fallot-Tetralogie gehort zu den haufigsten angeborenen Herzerkrankungen und war eine der ersten, die einer chirurgischen Therapie zuganglich waren. Derzeitig ist die primare Korrekturoperation im Sauglingsalter die Therapie der Wahl. Diese kann auch beim symptomatischen Neugeborenen mit guten Ergebnissen durchgefuhrt werden. Indikationen fur eine palliative Therapie werden kontrovers diskutiert und stellen heutzutage eher die Ausnahme dar. Dennoch kann eine Palliation, z. B. bei besonderen Risikofaktoren, weiterhin indiziert sein. Neben den chirurgischen Verfahren stehen hierzu auch moderne katheterinterventionelle Techniken zur Verfugung. Die Korrekturoperation wird heute standardmasig uber einen transatrialen Zugang durchgefuhrt, ggf. in Kombination mit einer begrenzten Infundibulotomie. Auf ein transanulares Vorgehen im Bereich des rechtsventrikularen Ausflusstrakts wird moglichst verzichtet. Ziel ist die Vermeidung einer Pulmonalklappeninsuffizienz, die langfristig zu einer irreversiblen Beeintrachtigung der rechtsventrikularen Funktion fuhren kann. Sie stellt heute das fuhrende Problem im Langzeitverlauf dar. Aktuelle Entwicklungen, wie der interventionelle Pulmonalklappenersatz und mithilfe des „tissue engineering“ hergestellte Herzklappen, konnten in Zukunft das Risiko der Reeingriffe deutlich reduzieren oder diese vollstandig vermeiden.

Abstract: Over 5,000 PMTs are being deployed at the South Pole to compose the IceCube neutrino observatory. Many are placed deep in the ice to detect Cherenkov light emitted by the products of high-energy neutrino interactions, and others are frozen into tanks on the surface to detect particles from atmospheric cosmic ray showers. IceCube is using the 10-inch diameter R7081-02 made by Hamamatsu Photonics. This paper describes the laboratory characterization and calibration of these PMTs before deployment. PMTs were illuminated with pulses ranging from single photons to saturation level. Parameterizations are given for the single photoelectron charge spectrum and the saturation behavior. Time resolution, late pulses and afterpulses are characterized. Because the PMTs are relatively large, the cathode sensitivity uniformity was measured. The absolute photon detection efficiency was calibrated using Rayleigh-scattered photons from a nitrogen laser. Measured characteristics are discussed in the context of their relevance to IceCube event reconstruction and simulation efforts., 40 pages, 12 figures

Abstract: The high power and long pulse operation of the gyrotron as well as efficient transmission of its output are quite important for achieving improved plasma performances. A 28 GHz 1 MW gyrotron developed for GAMMA 10/PDX achieved an output power of 1.38 MW in 2015 experiment after the power supply was improved. Furthermore, a new 28/35 GHz dual-frequency gyrotron (2 MW 3 s and 0.4 MW CW) for QUEST, NSTX-U, Heliotron J and GAMMA 10/PDX has been fabricated, after the preliminary test of a double-disk sapphire window installed in the gyrotron was performed. In the first experimental test, the oscillation of the main mode was confirmed at a frequency of 28.036 GHz with a Gaussian-like beam and an output power of 1.22 MW.

Abstract: Summary Background Vascular-type Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (vEDS) is a severe autosomal dominant inherited disorder resulting from mutations within the α1 type III collagen gene (COL3A1). The majority of published mutations are base changes leading to the substitution of single glycine residues within the triple-helical domain of type III collagen. Although clinical characteristics and mutations in the COL3A1 gene have been analysed for some patients from Europe and America, similar analyses have not yet been performed for Japanese patients with vEDS. Objectives To analyse the genetic and phenotypic findings in Japanese patients with vEDS. Methods We analysed the clinical features of 20 unrelated individuals with vEDS. To quantify type III collagen production, the fibroblasts were cultured with 3H-proline, and the radiolabelled collagenous proteins were analysed using sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorography. Mutations in COL3A1 were detected by sequence analysis of cDNA from patients’ fibroblasts and subsequently by a genomic DNA sequence analysis. Results Thin and translucent skin with extensive bruising and hypermobility of the small joints were observed in about 90% of the patients, whereas the prevalence of serious clinical findings such as rupture/dissection/aneurysm of the arteries (30%) or rupture of the gastrointestinal tract (25%) was relatively low. Sequence analyses of the COL3A1 gene demonstrated heterozygous point mutations leading to glycine substitution in only nine patients (45%), while heterozygous splice-site mutations at the junction of the triple-helical exons were observed in the remaining 11 patients (55%). The average type III collagen production level in the cultured dermal fibroblasts was 14·6% of the normal value. The types of complication were not associated with specific mutations in COL3A1. Conclusion The analysis in the present series revealed a low frequency of patients presenting with serious clinical findings such as arterial rupture/arterial dissection/aneurysm and perforation or rupture of the gastrointestinal tract, and revealed a higher prevalence of splice-site mutations at the junction of the triple-helical exons than of glycine substitution mutations in COL3A1.

Abstract: As one of the programs in the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) R&D project on coated conductors, we developed a three-phase 6.6 kV superconducting fault current limiter (SFCL) and conducted some evaluation tests. The developed SFCL mainly comprised a set of three-phase current-limiting coils installed in a sub-cooled nitrogen cryostat with a Gifford-McMahon (GM) cryocooler, circuit breakers, and a sequence control circuit. Two tapes were wound in parallel in each limiting coil to obtain a rated current of 72 A rms. AC characteristics of each coil were measured, and relevant performance metrics were obtained. The whole system was installed in a cubicle. Short circuit experiments were then conducted with a short circuit generator. In a three-line ground fault test, the SFCL successfully restricted a short circuit current of over 1.56 kA to about 840 A with an applied voltage of 6.6 kV. The system integration ability and the obtained data show the promise of this approach for practical implementation. The SFCL was ready for user field tests.

Abstract: One of the programs in the Ministry of Economy and Trade and Industry (METI) project regarding R & D on YBCO conductor is to evaluate the applicability of the developed conductor toward several applications. This paper focuses on a fault current limiter (FCL) as one of the expected power applications. YBCO tape conductors with ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) substrate are used in this work. In order to obtain high resistance of the conductor, which is preferable to an FCL, the thickness of the protecting layer made of silver was decreased as possible. Then high-resistive metal stabilizing layer is attached on the silver layer to improve stability. Obtaining the relevant current limiting performance on short sample experiments, model coils were developed to aim the 6.6 kV-class FCL. Short circuit experiments were implemented with a short circuit generator. The coil successfully restricted the short circuit current over 17 kA to about 700 A by the applied voltage of 3.8 kV, which is nominal phase-to-ground voltage. The experimental results show good agreement with computer analyses and show promising toward the application.

Abstract: This paper describes the design and test results of a 6.6 kV-class superconducting fault current limiter (FCL) coil wound with YBCO tapes. YBCO tapes, with stainless-steel lamination, were prepared for an experimental FCL coil. The main feature of this FCL coil is winding of multiple YBCO tapes in parallel in order to increase the rated current. To obtain a rated current up to several hundred amps, four tapes, electrically insulated, were wound in parallel to form a non-inductive coil. The coil specifications, such as winding pitch, number of turns, and transpositions, were carefully designed by numerical simulation to equalize the current distribution in each tape. The fault current limiting performance of the FCL coil was evaluated through over-current tests using a capacitor bank. The FCL coil successfully suppressed a fault current of 10.4 kA to below 2.1 kA.

Abstract: The high temperature superconducting (HTS) floating magnet of the ring trap 1 (RT-1) reached the first experiment on levitation and plasma. The magnet using an HTS coil was levitated stably by levitation coil, and plasma was produced around the ring-shaped HTS magnet by electron cyclotron heating with 8.2 GHz microwave. This novel plasma device was constructed at the University of Tokyo to explore means of achieving the advanced-fuel fusion. The plasma confinement mechanism is based on the concept of high-beta relaxed state that is self-organized within flowing plasma. The HTS magnet is operated in a persistent-current mode and magnetically levitated in a plasma vacuum chamber. The weight of the HTS magnet is about 110 kg. Initially the HTS coil is cooled below 20 K by an external cooling system with detachable transfer tubes. After the transfer tubes are detached, an experiment of levitation and plasma is conducted while the HTS coil temperature remains within the range of 20 K-32 K without cooling. This paper describes the HTS coil design and test results of the HTS magnet as follows; an initial cooling, a persistent-current operation without cooling and the first levitation and the first plasma experiment.

Abstract: We performed a design study of sextupole magnet using high temperature superconducting (HTS) wires. The sextupole magnet is used as a focusing lens for neutron-focusing devices. A neutron-focusing device is desired to have a large aperture and a high magnetic field gradient of G , where G = 2 B / r 2 , B is the magnetic field and r is a distance from the sextupole magnet axis. Superconducting magnets offer promising prospects to meet the demands of a neutron-focusing device. Recently NbTi coils of low temperature superconducting (LTS) have been developed for a sextupole magnet with a 46.8 mm aperture. The maximum magnetic field gradient G of this magnet is 9480 T/m 2 at 4.2 K and 12,800 T/m 2 at 1.8 K. On the other hand, rapid progress on second generation HTS wire has been made in increasing the performance of critical current and in demonstrating a long length. The second generation HTS wire is referred to as coated conductor. It consists of tape-shaped base upon which a thin coating of superconductor, usually YBCO, is deposited or grown. This paper describes a design study of sextupole magnet using coated conductors.

Abstract: Purpose: Complications arising from limb-lengthening procedures are often severe leading to long-term residuals. The aim of this study was to determine whether the complication rate and complexity could be predicted using a distraction index for bone lengthening in children. Study Design: This study retrospectively reviewed a series of 116 lower limbs lengthening in 88 consecutive patients (mean age 13.5). Mean follow-up 3.8 years. Lengthening percentage, lengthening index, distraction regenerate length, additional surgeries, and complications rate were used to evaluate the results of limb lengthening. The correlation between lengthening percentage and complication rate was particularly analyzed and its practicability illustrated. Scatter plots of complication rate (%) against lengthening percentage were constructed, and linear regression was used to investigate mathematical relationship between the variables. Results: The lengthening index was 33 ± 12.1 days/cm. The length of distraction regenerate was 6 ± 3.2 cm. The lengthening percentage was 21 ± 16.5. The scatter plots of neurological complication rate, residual deformities rate, broken pins rate, joint contractures rate, and hypertension rate against lengthening percentage showed a positive linear relationship with r = 0.8. Conclusions: The number of complications increased considerably with the increase in lengthening percentage. The lengthening percentage correlates very well with the complication rate and can be used to predict the complication rate. Clinical Relevance: During planning a lengthening procedure, the lengthening percentage should be a useful tool to predict the complications rate and to discuss the risks and benefits with patients and their families. The knowledge about predictable complications should help prevent and early detect expected complications.

Abstract: Since FY 2004, a four-year Japanese national project has been ongoing to develop an HTS-SMES as a sub-program of the Development of Superconducting Power Network Control Technology. The purpose of this project is to confirm the performance of a high energy density SMES coil with Bi-2212 cables. This coil system is composed of an NbTi outer coil and a Bi-2212 inner coil, consisting of 16 double pancakes. A Bi2212 cable of 140 m length is used for the double-pancake windings, and reinforcing materials are co-wound with the cable. A winding inner diameter of 360 mm was set according to the bending tolerance of the cable. The magnet is to be cooled at 4.2 K by liquid helium in order to obtain high overall current density. In the first year of this project, a conceptual design and various experiments for HTS magnet were carried out. This paper describes the test results of the HTS experimental coil that was developed to evaluate the electrical and thermal characteristics of an HTS. It is important to minimize deterioration and damage to the cable, because such defects cause fatal impact to the coil. Consequentially, high accuracy measurement of V-I characteristics up to10−8 V/cm range was performed in this experiment.

Abstract: The plasma confinement device "RT-1" which had a high temperature superconducting (HTS) floating magnet was constructed for advanced high-beta plasma and fusion research at the University of Tokyo. The high temperature superconducting (HTS) floating magnet is magnetically levitated inside the plasma vacuum vessel. Plasma is confined by a magnetic dipole field around the HTS floating magnet. The HTS floating magnet is operated in persistent-current mode and it consists of an HTS coil, an HTS persistent-current switch (PCS), a pair of demountable joints of current leads, detachable joints of a cooling tube, a thermal shield and a vacuum vessel. The HTS coil and the PCS and the thermal shield are cooled below 20 K by a flow of helium gas through the cooling tube. The floating HTS magnet is designed to operate in the temperature range from 20 K to 30 K without being cooled while it is levitated. We fabricated a persistent-current HTS coil that consists of the HTS coil and the PCS. Persistent-current operations and protection tests were conducted with the persistent-current HTS coil before it was mounted in the floating magnet cryostat. The current-decay rate was 0.9% in an 8 hour operation. The coil energy was safely discharged by inducing PCS quench in a protection test

Abstract: This paper describes progress in a cryocooler-cooled HTS magnet excited by a thermo-electromotive force of a thermoelectric element. Since this system requires no external power sources, there are advantages in compactness and weight over conventional HTS magnet systems. Thus, it is suitable for applications in places where constraints on space and weight are severe. For improvement of this magnet system, we present a concept of the new thermoelectric element which consists of a thermoelectric semiconductor and a superconductor. This hybrid element passively utilizes a superconductor as a thermoelectric material and decreases the cryogenic heat leakage per unit current (Q/I) ideally by half. In this paper, experiments of an HTS coil excitation with a hybrid semiconductor-HTS thermoelectric element are reported. It is shown that there are some obvious merits in using the hybrid element as a substitute for a normal p- and n-type semiconductor element.

Abstract: An overview of the research capabilities and the future plans on the MA-class National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) at Princeton is presented. NSTX research is exploring the scientific benefits of modifying the field line structure from that in more conventional aspect ratio devices, such as the tokamak. The relevant scientific issues pursued on NSTX include energy confinement, MHD stability at high beta, non-inductive sustainment, solenoid-free start-up, and power and particle handling. In support of the NSTX research goal, research tools are being developed by the NSTX team. In the context of the fusion energy development path being formulated in the US, an ST-based Component Test Facility (CTF) and, ultimately a high beta Demo device based on the ST, are being considered. For these, it is essential to develop high performance (high beta and high confinement), steady-state (non-inductively driven) ST operational scenarios and an efficient solenoid-free start-up concept.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of a concurrent chemoradiotherapy using docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (TPF) in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). In total, 19 patients with previously untreated stage III-IV SCCHN were entered onto this trial. Patients received two cycles of chemotherapy. Cycles were repeated every 4 weeks. The starting doses (dose level 1) were docetaxel 60 mg m(-2), cisplatin 70 mg m(-2), and 5-day continuous infusion of 5-FU 600 mg m(-2) day(-1). Radiation was targeted to begin on the first day of chemotherapy, day 1. The total radiation dose to the primary tumour site and neck lymph nodes was between 63.0 and 74.0 Gy. At least three patients were examined at each dose level before advancing to the next level. The maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of this regimen was docetaxel 60 mg m(-2), cisplatin 60 mg m(-2) and 5-FU 600 mg m(-2) day(-1). The main toxicities were mucositis (grade 3 and 4, 79%), leukocytopenia (grade 3 and 4, 53%), neutropenia (grade 3 and 4, 42%), anaemia (grade 3, 16%), liver dysfunction (grade 3, 11%) and renal dysfunction (grade 2, 11%). The overall response rate was 100%, including 84% complete responses (CRs). This concurrent chemoradiotherapy with TPF was safe and well tolerated. The high CR rate justifies further evaluation of this chemoradiotherapy modality in advanced SCCHN patients.

Abstract: In this paper, dependences of electric field strength around gate-edge in gate dielectrics of MISFETs with high-k gate dielectrics on design parameters are studied. It is newly found that locations of sidewall/gate dielectric interfaces relative to gate electrode edges are critical to electric field strength of high-k MISFETs. Electric field can be as high as 4 MV/cm, which could have large influences on the yield of large scale integrated circuits (LSIs) with high-k gate dielectrics. An explanation of this phenomenon is given by considering discontinuity in electric field at interfaces between two materials with different dielectric constants. It is clarified that an electrical potential of side and top surfaces of gate dielectrics is strongly affected by the discontinuity of electric field strength at interfaces. As a result, electric field strength around gate electrode edges critically depends on locations of sidewall/gate dielectrics interfaces relative to gate electrode edges. Based on the physical considerations, a structure, in which gate sidewalls are also made of high-k materials, is studied from the viewpoint of electric field strength around gate electrode edges. It is shown that this structure effectively suppresses electric field strength around gate edges.

Abstract: Background The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate characteristics of primary colorectal cancer and pulmonary metastases in order to identify prognostic factors for overall survival and risk factors for further intrapulmonary recurrence after resection of pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer. Methods Forty-nine patients who underwent resection of pulmonary metastases from colorectal cancer were reviewed. The factors assessed were age, sex, pathological findings of the original colorectal cancer (depth, lymphatic invasion, venous invasion, lymph node metastasis, differentiation, Dukes' stage) and pulmonary metastasis (maximum tumour size, number of tumours, completeness of resection), serum carcinoembryonic antigen level, previous hepatectomy for liver metastases, and surgical procedure for resection of pulmonary metastasis. Overall survival and intrapulmonary recurrence were also reviewed. Results Survival rates after resection of pulmonary metastases were 78 per cent at 3 years and 56 per cent at 5 years. Solitary pulmonary metastases were significantly correlated with survival (P = 0·049). The pathological features of the primary colorectal cancer had no impact on survival. Histologically incomplete resection of pulmonary metastasis significantly correlated with pulmonary re-recurrence (P = 0·034). Conclusion Long-term survival can be expected after complete resection of pulmonary metastases arising from colorectal cancer, especially in patients with a solitary pulmonary metastasis.

Abstract: Background: Intravenous myocardial contrast echocardiography with harmonic power Doppler imaging is a novel technique for assessing myocardial perfusion. Aims: The aim of this study was to quantitatively assess myocardial perfusion by harmonic power Doppler imaging in patients with a previous myocardial infarction and compare myocardial contrast echocardiography results with myocardial viability evaluated by thallium-201 single-photon emission computed tomography (201Tl-SPECT) and the results of Doppler flow measurement of coronary flow velocity reserve. Methods: Twenty-three patients with anterior myocardial infarction who were scheduled for adenosine stress 201Tl-SPECT underwent myocardial contrast echocardiography with harmonic power Doppler imaging. Harmonic power Doppler imaging was performed at rest and during adenosine infusion (0·15 mg/kg/min) using an intravenous infusion of Levovist. The peak colour pixel intensity ratios of the risk area to the control area were used for quantitative analysis of myocardial perfusion by harmonic power Doppler imaging. Coronary blood flow velocity was measured using Doppler-tipped guidewire in the distal portion of left anterior descending artery and coronary flow velocity reserve was calculated. Results: In patients with myocardial viability assessed by 201Tl-SPECT, pixel intensity ratios both at rest and during hyperaemia were significantly higher compared with those in patients without myocardial viability (at rest: 0·62±0·28 vs 0·37±0·17, P =0·038, during hyperaemia 0·72±0·19 vs 0·40±0·18, P =0.003). Coronary flow velocity reserve was significantly different between two groups (2·35±0·43 vs 1·49±0·53, P

48. Development of a superconducting magnet excited with thermoelectric conversion element for quasi persistent mode

Abstract: Some superconducting magnets are generally operated in persistent mode. The persistent-mode operation of these magnets is necessary to maintain field decay rates below a certain level, typically 0.01 ppm over a 1-hr period. These magnets used to be physically uncoupled from the external power source. In the case of HTS magnets, it is very difficult to keep the magnetic field stable without a high-stability external power source for large flux flow losses. A superconducting magnet is a high current and low voltage system except for excitation voltage. From this point of view, a thermoelectric conversion element is a very suitable power supply for a quasi persistent-mode magnet system. Moreover, this element seems to be particularly useful for HTS magnets. As the first step of this study, the authors tried to design a superconducting magnet excited with a thermoelectric conversion element and carried out an excitation test of a small HTS magnet by using the elements.

Abstract: Background: Salivation plays an important role in the defence of the oesophageal mucosa against gastric acidic reflux and can be evoked by cholinergic stimulation. Both nizatidine and cisapride have been reported to increase acetylcholine concentrations in the cholinergic system. Aim: To investigate the effect of nizatidine and cisapride on salivary secretion, salivary epidermal growth factor and bicarbonate output. Methods: The salivary volume and concentration of salivary epidermal growth factor and bicarbonate were measured after the administration of nizatidine (150 mg), famotidine (20 mg) and cisapride (5 mg) in 30 male healthy volunteers. Results: Basal and stimulated salivary secretions were found to be increased after the administration of nizatidine and cisapride. In contrast, salivary secretion was not increased by famotidine. Although epidermal growth factor content was not augmented, nizatidine and cisapride administration also increased the bicarbonate output in mastication-stimulated saliva. Conclusions: Increased salivary secretion and bicarbonate output induced by nizatidine may be useful for the treatment of patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

Abstract: 女性生殖器以外の腫瘍を原発巣とする転移性子宮腫瘍は頻度が少なく,また大腸癌からの転移は極めて稀である.我々は直腸癌の腹腔内再発及び子宮体部転移をきたした症例を経験したので報告する.患者は3年前に直腸癌の切除を受けており,術後経過観察中に血清CEA値の上昇を認めた.MRI,CTにて子宮体部に腫瘍を認め,術前のFDG-PETにて直腸癌からの子宮体部転移と判断した.切除標本の病理組織検査では中分化腺癌を認め直腸癌の子宮体部転移と考えた.転移性子宮腫瘍に対しては確立した診断法は無く,また転移性子宮腫瘍の患者は診断の時点で他臓器の転移があることが多い.転移性子宮腫瘍に対して手術を行う前に他臓器への転移の有無を確認することが重要であろう.本症例では転移性子宮腫瘍の診断と他臓器の遠隔転移の除外においてFDG-PETが有用であった.
