Author: T. Katayama, H. Yoshioka, T. Yamanaka, S. Sakata, and Y. Hanamura

Abstract: Deep subsurface microorganisms constitute over 80 % of Earth's prokaryotic biomass and play an important role in global biogeochemical cycles. Geochemical processes driven by geothermal heating are key factors influencing their biomass and activities, yet their full breadth remains uncaptured. Here, we investigated the microbial community composition and metabolism in microbial-natural-gas-bearing aquifers at temperatures ranging from 38 to 81 °C, situated above nonmicrobial-gas- and oil-bearing sediments at temperatures exceeding 90 °C. Cultivation-based and molecular gene analyses, including radiotracer measurements, of formation water indicated variations in predominant methanogenic pathways across different temperature regimes of upper aquifers: high potential for hydrogenotrophic–methylotrophic, hydrogenotrophic, and acetoclastic methanogenesis at temperatures of 38, 51–65, and 73–81 °C, respectively. The potential for acetoclastic methanogenesis correlated with elevated acetate concentrations with increasing depth, possibly due to the decomposition of sedimentary organic matter. In addition to acetoclastic methanogenesis, in aquifers at temperatures as high as or higher than 65 °C, acetate is potentially utilized by microorganisms responsible for the dissimilatory reduction of sulfur compounds other than sulfate because of their high relative abundance at greater depths. The stable sulfur isotopic analysis of sulfur compounds in water and oil samples suggested that hydrogen sulfide, generated through the thermal decomposition of sulfur compounds in oil, migrates upward and is subsequently oxidized with iron oxides present in sediments, yielding elemental sulfur and thiosulfate. These compounds are consumed by sulfur-reducing microorganisms, possibly reflecting elevated microbial populations in aquifers at temperatures as high as or higher than 73 °C. These findings reveal previously overlooked geothermal-heat-driven geochemical and microbiological processes involved in carbon and sulfur cycling in the deep sedimentary biosphere.

2. Microbial methane formation in deep aquifers associated with the sediment burial history at a coastal site

Author: T. Katayama, R. Ikawa, M. Koshigai, and S. Sakata
Subjects: Ecology, QH540-549.5, Life, QH501-531, Geology, QE1-996.5
Abstract: Elucidating the mechanisms underlying microbial methane formation in subsurface environments is essential to understanding the global carbon cycle. This study examined how microbial methane formation (i.e., methanogenesis) occurs in natural-gas-bearing sedimentary aquifers throughout the sediment burial history. Water samples collected from six aquifers of different depths exhibited ascending vertical gradients in salinity from brine to fresh water and in temperature from mesophilic to psychrophilic conditions. Analyses of gas and water isotopic ratios and microbial communities indicated the predominance of methanogenesis via CO2 reduction. However, the hydrogen isotopic ratio of water changed along the depth and salinity gradient, whereas the ratio of methane changed little, suggesting that in situ methanogenesis in shallow sediments does not significantly contribute to methane in the aquifers. The population of methane-producing microorganisms (methanogens) was highest in the deepest saline aquifers, where the water temperature, salinity, and total organic carbon content of the adjacent mud sediments were the highest. Cultivation of the dominant hydrogenotrophic methanogens in the aquifers showed that the methanogenesis rate was maximized at the temperature corresponding to that of the deepest aquifer. These results suggest that high-temperature conditions in deeply buried sediments are associated with enhanced in situ methanogenesis and that methane that forms in the deepest aquifer migrates upward into the shallower aquifers by diffusion.

Abstract: Superconducting (SC) tokamak JT-60SA plays an essential role in fusion research and development by supporting and complementing the ITER project, providing directions to the DEMO design activity and fostering next generation scientists and engineers. Since the short circuit incident at the terminal joints of equilibrium field coil #1 during the integrated commissioning (IC) in March 2021, both EU and JA implementing agencies (IAs) have examined how to ensure safe operation of JT-60SA by mitigating the risk of possible discharge occurrence inside the cryostat. Based on the experience of the global Paschen tests, the IAs have established a strategy of risk mitigation measures, which is a combination of (i) reinforcement of insulation, (ii) avoiding unnecessary voltage application to the coil systems and (iii) immediate de-energization of the coils when deteriorated vacuum conditions are detected. Thanks to the considerable efforts of the Integrated Project Team members, the IC restarted in May 2023. After confirmation of the SC state of the coil systems (TF, EF and CS), the coil energization test and the plasma operation phase 1 (OP-1) started. The first plasma was successfully achieved on 23 October 2023 with a limited value of voltage and current applied to the coils. The plasma configuration control was also confirmed with low plasma current and low auxiliary heating power conditions. Based on the IO–F4E–QST collaboration, activities of JT-60SA have been shared with the IO and provided an important lesson for ITER assembly and commissioning, and will provide an outstanding contribution to fusion research at large. After OP-1, maintenance & enhancement phase 1 (M/E-1) starts from January 2024, in which in-vessel components are installed, and heating and diagnostic systems are extensively upgraded to allow a high power heating experiment planned in OP-2. In order to make the best use of JT-60SA, a newly organized JT-60SA experiment team will refine the research plan for the future high heating power operation phase.

7. Epigenetic silencing by SMYD3 represses tumor intrinsic interferon response in HPV-negative squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

Abstract: SUMMARYCancers often display immune escape, but the mechanisms and potential for reversibility are incompletely understood. Epigenetic dysregulation has been implicated in the immune escape of various cancer types. We have identified the epigenetic modifier SET and MYND-domain containing protein 3 (SMYD3) as a mediator of immune escape in human papilloma virus (HPV)- negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), an aggressive disease with poor prognosis and low response to immunotherapy with pembrolizumab, a programmed-death-1 (PD-1) targeting antibody. SMYD3 loss increased the sensitivity of HNSCC cancer cells to IFN-β, resulting in upregulation of type I IFN response and antigen presentation machinery genes. We found that SMYD3 regulates the transcription of Ubiquitin-Like PHD And RING Finger Domain- Containing Protein 1 (UHRF1), a key epigenetic reader of trimethylated lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9me3), which binds to H3K9me3-enriched promoters of key immune-related genes and silences their expression. SMYD3 further maintains the repression of immune-related genes through the deposition of H4K20me3 within the gene body regions of these genes. In an anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint resistant syngeneic mouse model of HPV-negative HNSCC, Smyd3 depletion induced influx of CD8+ T-cells, upregulated PD-L1 and MHC class I molecules, and increased sensitivity to anti-PD-1 therapy. SMYD3 overexpression was associated with decreased CD8 T-cell infiltration in tumor samples from patients with HPV-negative HNSCC, and was associated with poor response to pembrolizumab. Overall, these data highlight a previously unreported function of SMYD3 as a master epigenetic regulator of anti-tumor immune response in HPV-negative HNSCC and provide a rationale for translational approaches combining SMYD3 depletion strategies with checkpoint blockade to overcome anti-PD-1 resistance in this devastating disease.

Abstract: Ectopic enrichment of oral microbes in the gut is a notable alteration in gut microbial balance. These microbes are likely delivered from the oral cavity with saliva and food; however, evidence of oral–gut microbial transmission is insufficient and needs further investigation. In this observational study, we examined 144 pairs of saliva and stool samples collected from community-dwelling adults to verify the oral–gut microbial link and identify the relevant influencing factors on the increased abundance of oral microbes within the gut. The bacterial composition of each sample was determined using PacBio single-molecule long-read sequencing of the full-length 16S ribosomal RNA gene and amplicon sequence variant (ASV) analysis. Although the bacterial compositions of salivary and gut microbiota were distinctly different, at least 1 ASV was shared between salivary and gut microbiota in 72.9% of subjects. Shared ASVs accounted for 0.0% to 63.1% (median 0.14%) of the gut microbiota in each subject and frequently included abundant Streptococcus salivarius and Streptococcus parasanguinis. Their total relative abundance in the gut was significantly higher in older subjects or those with dental plaque accumulation. The gut microbiota with ≥5% of shared ASVs displayed a higher abundance of Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, and Klebsiella and a lower abundance of Faecalibacterium, Blautia, Megamonas, and Parabacteroides. Our study presents evidence for the translocation of oral bacteria to the gut in community-dwelling adults and suggests that aging and dental plaque accumulation contribute to an increased abundance of oral microbes in the gut, which might be relevant to the compositional shift in the gut commensals.

Abstract: Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the WHO on 11 March 2020 and global surgical practice was compromised. This Commission aimed to document and reflect on the changes seen in the surgical environment during the pandemic, by reviewing colleagues’ experiences and published evidence. Methods In late 2020, BJS contacted colleagues across the global surgical community and asked them to describe how severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) had affected their practice. In addition to this, the Commission undertook a literature review on the impact of COVID-19 on surgery and perioperative care. A thematic analysis was performed to identify the issues most frequently encountered by the correspondents, as well as the solutions and ideas suggested to address them. Results BJS received communications for this Commission from leading clinicians and academics across a variety of surgical specialties in every inhabited continent. The responses from all over the world provided insights into multiple facets of surgical practice from a governmental level to individual clinical practice and training. Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic has uncovered a variety of problems in healthcare systems, including negative impacts on surgical practice. Global surgical multidisciplinary teams are working collaboratively to address research questions about the future of surgery in the post-COVID-19 era. The COVID-19 pandemic is severely damaging surgical training. The establishment of a multidisciplinary ethics committee should be encouraged at all surgical oncology centres. Innovative leadership and collaboration is vital in the post-COVID-19 era.

13. High Energy Limit of the Size-Tunable Photoluminescence of Hydrogen-Terminated Porous Silicon Nanostructures in HF

Author: B. Gelloz, N. Takura, S. Sakata, and L. Jin
Subjects: Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials
Abstract: The photoluminescence (PL) of various porous silicon (PSi) layers was studied during chemical dissolution in HF. The relative PL quantum efficiency of some layers was also monitored. Typically, the PL increased, reached a maximum and then dropped down to complete extinction, accompanied with a PL blueshift. During PL fall, both the PL intensity and layer quantum efficiency fell sharply, accompanied by a decrease in full width at half maximum and a slowing blueshift. In the final stage, the PL intensity decreased without any further blueshift, the saturated PL peak wavelength being ∼515 nm (∼2.4 eV) for most layers, identifying a high energy limit for the achievable PL of hydrogen-terminated Si nanostructures. Our results show that sudden catastrophic mechanical failure of nanostructure cannot explain the sharp PL drop and saturation of PL blueshift. Rather, they support the idea of a critical size (∼1.5–2 nm) below which the PL quantum efficiency vanishes. The possible reasons were discussed, privileging the emergence of structural non-radiative defects below a certain size, though the decreasing intrinsic quantum efficiency of Si nanocrystals with decreasing size could also play an important role. Maximum PL intensity was generally obtained for a peak wavelength of ∼565 nm (∼2.2 eV).

Abstract: This construction project involved renovating Minami-sunamachi station on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line by converting it from a single island platform station with one set of tracks on each side into a two-platform station with three sets of tracks. Minami-sunamachi Station was constructed using the caisson method in what was a canal at the time of construction; even now, the ground surrounding the box elements is very soft. Thus, measures to minimize displacement of the surrounding ground and existing box elements were required for each process of renovating the station. As for the construction work, excavation was performed to a depth of 14 m using the cut-and-cover method. For earth retention, diaphragm walls were used in an effort to make use of existing structures. For reinforcement, ground struts were installed below the base of the excavation area and performed ground improvement to improve the base.

Abstract: Magnetic reconnection in a relativistic electron magnetization regime was observed in a laboratory plasma produced by a high-intensity, large energy, picoseconds laser pulse. Magnetic reconnection conditions realized with a laser-driven several kilotesla magnetic field is comparable to that in the accretion disk corona of black hole systems, i.e., Cygnus X-1. We observed particle energy distributions of reconnection outflow jets, which possess a power-law component in a high-energy range. The hardness of the observed spectra could explain the hard-state x-ray emission from accreting black hole systems.

Abstract: Collective Thomson scattering (CTS) has been applied to laser-produced plasmas with Gekko XII HIPER laser facility. A scheme of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) has been used in CTS measurements for the first time. Utilizing SBS shortens the probe pulse, which increases the scattered power, and thus collected scattered signal of CTS. Therefore, a lower energy probe laser can be used for given background emission levels to avoid probe heating, which is crucial for plasmas with low electron temperature. Both electron and ion features of CTS have been successfully detected by using the SBS technique. The spatial profile of electron density, temperature, and drift velocity have been estimated in an ablation plasma. In addition to the local measurements with CTS, a global structure of plasmas has been obtained with optical imaging of the self-emission of plasmas and the interferometry. In the aspects of drift velocity and plasma density, the local and global information are in good agreement.

Abstract: Intense lasers interacting with dense targets accelerate relativistic electron beams, which transport part of the laser energy into the target depth. However, the overall laser-to-target energy coupling efficiency is impaired by the large divergence of the electron beam, intrinsic to the laser–plasma interaction. Here we demonstrate that an efficient guiding of MeV electrons with about 30 MA current in solid matter is obtained by imposing a laser-driven longitudinal magnetostatic field of 600 T. In the magnetized conditions the transported energy density and the peak background electron temperature at the 60-μm-thick target's rear surface rise by about a factor of five, as unfolded from benchmarked simulations. Such an improvement of energy-density flux through dense matter paves the ground for advances in laser-driven intense sources of energetic particles and radiation, driving matter to extreme temperatures, reaching states relevant for planetary or stellar science as yet inaccessible at the laboratory scale and achieving high-gain laser-driven thermonuclear fusion., Efficient energy transport by laser-driven relativistic electron beams is crucial in many applications including inertial confinement fusion, and particle acceleration. Here the authors demonstrate relativistic electron beam guiding in dense plasma with an externally imposed high magnetic field.

20. Optical Properties and Oxide Growth during Chemical and Electrochemical Oxidation of Luminescent Porous Silicon in Liquid Electrolytes Monitored by In-Situ Photoconduction

Abstract: The progress of chemical and electrochemical oxidation of porous silicon (PSi), formed from lightly-doped p-type silicon, in aqueous electrolytes, was monitored using in situ photocurrent from a monochromatic illumination, which can be used as a signature of the optical transmission through PSi. Models are proposed to explain the results quantitatively. For anodic oxidation, the valence of reaction was obtained as ∼1.5, which is consistent with non-stoichiometric oxide growth. Electroluminescence and photoluminescence during anodic oxidation were consistent with previous reports. For chemical oxidation, monitoring can be used up to a certain stage after which the oxide grown at the PSi/substrate interface prevents further use of electrical conduction. This initial stage was exploited to get model parameters, allowing derivation of time evolution of oxidation rate, oxide thickness, porosity, and relative quantum efficiency. Concurrent dissolution of oxide was also taken into account when the oxidation rate was low. The luminescence efficiency was improved in the first stages of oxidation, and then decreases for heavy oxidation, when the silicon content had drastically decreased. The rate of oxidation seems to play a role in the luminescence efficiency, a high oxidation rate leading to lower efficiency for a given fraction of silicon content in the layer.

Abstract: We conducted fast heating of a core plasma produced by counter-illumination of two beam bundles of implosion lasers for two incident directions of the heating laser. For the axial heating configuration, wherein the heating laser was incident along the coaxial direction of the implosion lasers, the size and density of the counter-imploded core plasma were estimated. The incident timing of the heating laser was determined. Although the heating laser was incident during the stagnation of the core plasma, there were no considerable increases in the intensity of X-rays with energies beyond 1 keV and the yield of the thermonuclear fusion neutrons. Effective core heating did not occur due to the interaction of the heating laser with the low-density ablated plasma far from the core. On the other hand, for the transverse heating configuration, wherein the heating laser was incident from the transverse direction of the implosion laser axis, optimization of the incident timing of the heating laser was not achieved. However, two-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamic simulation revealed that a heating laser can directly interact with a core plasma and effective heating is expected. In our scheme, transverse heating configuration appears to be significant.

Abstract: A Monte Carlo (MC) code simulating the kinetics of two-particle collisions has shown to have certain advantages in the spectral analysis of neutrons from fast-ignition inertial confinement fusion (ICF). The MC code quickly displays neutron spectra produced in the expected fusion plasma kinetics (incl. ion energy spectrum, anisotropy, and collision geometry). This allows to explore various potential mechanisms of neutron production without using time-consuming hydrodynamic or particle simulations and makes it possible to give a feedback to ongoing experiments. The validity of this model was demonstrated in the ”cone-free-shell” fast ignition experiment at the GEKKO-XII - LFEX laser facility, where the model provided a clear explanation for the significant spectral modulation of D(d, n)3He neutrons generated through the interaction between a high-power laser and a long-scale plasma.

24. Two-color laser-plasma interactions for efficient production of non-thermal hot electrons

Abstract: Efficient production of non-thermal hot electrons has been demonstrated experimentally by interactions of a plasma and two-color lasers with wavelengths of 527 and 1053 nm. The two-color-lasers and plasma interactions caused a 4.8 times enhancement of the temperature of the hot electrons and a 2.7 times enhancement of energy conversion from the lasers to the hot electrons compared with that obtained with only a 527 nm laser. These experimental results can be explained by a staging electron acceleration mechanism realized with a mixture of plasma waves excited by the two-color lasers. The primary 527 nm laser excites at least two electron plasma waves. Those have completely different phase velocities, therefore, staging acceleration cannot occur only with the 527 nm laser. The secondary 1053 nm laser excites other electron plasma waves, of which the phase velocities locate between those of the waves excited by the primary 527 nm laser. Some of the background thermal electrons can be heated contentiously to several hundred kilo-electronvolts by the electron plasma waves excited by the two-color lasers.

Abstract: A new database system for the JT-60SA tokamak has been developed. This system meets the following requirements: to hold all the JT-60SA data and prevent loss of data, to allow researchers to use data without knowing internal database configuration and structure, to manage data revision so that stored data can be traced back to the older revision anytime. Depending on the timing of data transfer for storage or reference, the experiment data are categorized into three types: (i) discharge data, (ii) plant monitoring data, and (iii) unprocessed data. In the first step in constructing a new database system, we have designed the basic structure of the JT-60SA database system to manage all three data types. The dedicated tools for data transfer or retrieval prevent unregistered computers from accessing the experiment data. The RAID6 configuration of a hard disk drive (HDD) and the magnetic tapes improve data reliability. This paper reports details about the functions of the new JT-60SA database system. Furthermore, the elapsed time of data transfer and storage is measured to evaluate the performance of the JT-60SA database system. It takes 20 s to transfer and store 6 GB of data, which is enough to meet the required performance.

Abstract: A large-aperture high-sensitivity image intensifier panel that consists of an avalanche photodiode array and a light-emitting diode array is presented. The device has 40% quantum efficiency, over 104 optical gain, and 80-ns time resolution. The aperture size of the device is 20 cm, and with the current manufacturing process, it can be scaled to arbitrarily larger sizes. The device can intensify the light from a single particle scintillation emission to an eye-visible bright flash. The image resolution of the device is currently limited by the size of the avalanche photodiode that is 2 mm, although it can be scaled to smaller sizes in the near future. The image intensifier is operated at a small voltage, typically +57 V. The device can be applied to various applications, such as scintillation imaging, night vision cameras, and an image converter from non-visible light (such as infrared or ultraviolet) to visible light.

Abstract: Increasing the laser energy absorption into energetic particle beams represents a longstanding quest in intense laser-plasma physics. During the interaction with matter, part of the laser energy is converted into relativistic electron beams, which are the origin of secondary sources of energetic ions, γ-rays and neutrons. Here we experimentally demonstrate that using multiple coherent laser beamlets spatially and temporally overlapped, thus producing an interference pattern in the laser focus, significantly improves the laser energy conversion efficiency into hot electrons, compared to one beam with the same energy and nominal intensity as the four beamlets combined. Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations support the experimental results, suggesting that beamlet interference pattern induces a periodical shaping of the critical density, ultimately playing a key-role in enhancing the laser-to-electron energy conversion efficiency. This method is rather insensitive to laser pulse contrast and duration, making this approach robust and suitable to many existing facilities., Enhanced coupling of laser energy to the target particles is a fundamental issue in laser-plasma interactions. Here the authors demonstrate increased photon absorption leading into higher laser to electron and proton energy transfer through the interference of multiple coherent beamlets.

Abstract: The Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) was designed and built to enhance the capabilities of the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). While aimed at providing electron identification and triggering, the TRD also contributes significantly to the track reconstruction and calibration in the central barrel of ALICE. In this paper the design, construction, operation, and performance of this detector are discussed. A pion rejection factor of up to 410 is achieved at a momentum of 1 GeV/c in p-Pb collisions and the resolution at high transverse momentum improves by about 40% when including the TRD information in track reconstruction. The triggering capability is demonstrated both for jet, light nuclei, and electron selection. © 2017 CERN for the benefit of the ALICE Collaboration.

Abstract: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is an antioxidant and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid that reduces the production of inflammatory cytokines. We evaluated the role of EPA in chondrocyte apoptosis and degeneration. Normal human chondrocytes were treated with EPA and sodium nitroprusside (SNP). Expression of metalloproteinases (MMPs) was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and that of apoptosis-related proteins was detected by western blotting. Chondrocyte apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. C57BL/6J mice were used for the detection of MMP expression by immunohistochemistry and for investigation of chondrocyte apoptosis. EPA inhibited SNP-induced chondrocyte apoptosis, caspase 3 and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase cleavage, phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and p53, and expression of MMP3 and MMP13. Intra-articular injection of EPA prevented the progression of osteoarthritis (OA) by inhibiting MMP13 expression and chondrocyte apoptosis. EPA treatment can control oxidative stress-induced OA progression, and thus may be a new approach for OA therapy.

Abstract: Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of long-term wheel-running on tibia bone properties in T2DM Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats. Methods: Ten five-week-old male OLETF rats were used as experimental animals and 5 Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats as controls. Half of OLETF rats performed daily voluntary wheel-running for 17 months (OLETF-EXE), while neither the remainder of OLETF nor LETO rats had exercise. At the end of experiment, in addition to serum biochemical and bone formation/resorption marker analyses, bone mass, trabecular bone microarchitecture and cortical bone geometry were analyzed in left tibia, and bone mechanical strength of right tibia was measured. Results: Tibia bone mass, trabecular bone microarchitecture, cortical bone geometry and bone mechanical strength deteriorated in diabetic OLETF rats. However, such deterioration was obviously attenuated in OLETF-EXE rats, which maintained normal levels of blood glucose, HbA1c and blood urea nitrogen. Conclusions: Daily wheel-running could prevent the deterioration of bone properties in OLETF rats. This would be induced mainly by suppressing the development of T2DM. Regular physical exercise may be a potent strategy for preventing not only the development of diabetes but also the deterioration of bone properties in patients with chronic T2DM.

Abstract: Endochondral ossification at the growth plate is regulated by a number of factors and hormones. The cyclin‑dependent kinase inhibitor p21 has been identified as a cell cycle regulator and its expression has been reported to be essential for endochondral ossification in vitro. However, to the best of our knowledge, the function of p21 in endochondral ossification has not been evaluated in vivo. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the function of p21 in embryonic endochondral ossification in vivo. Wild‑type (WT) and p21 knockout (KO) pregnant heterozygous mice were sacrificed on embryonic days E13.5, E15.5 and E18.5. Sagittal histological sections of the forearms of the embryos were collected and stained with Safranin O and 5‑bromo‑2'‑deoxyuridine (BrdU). Additionally, the expression levels of cyclin D1, type II collagen, type X collagen, Sox9, and p16 were examined using immunohistochemistry, and the expression levels of p27 were examined using immunofluorescence. Safranin O staining revealed no structural change between the cartilage tissues of the WT and p21KO mice at any time point. Type II collagen was expressed ubiquitously, while type X collagen was only expressed in the hypertrophic zone of the cartilage tissues. No differences in the levels of Sox9 expression were observed between the two groups at any time point. The levels of cyclin D1 expression and BrdU uptake were higher in the E13.5 cartilage tissue compared with those observed in the embryonic cartilage tissue at subsequent time points. Expression of p16 and p27 was ubiquitous throughout the tissue sections. These results indicate that p21 may not be essential for embryonic endochondral ossification in articular cartilage of mice and that other signaling networks may compensate for p21 deletion.

Abstract: Phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) was identified as an important tumor suppressor gene. PTEN functions as a negative regulator of phosphoinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt and MEK/ERK signaling. The PI3K-Akt pathway is critical for cell survival, differentiation, and matrix synthesis. Oxidative stress is considered a critical factor in the onset and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Therefore, we investigated the function of PTEN in OA chondrocytes under oxidative stress. Chondrocytes were treated with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and/or tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP), which causes oxidative stress. The expression levels of type2 collagen (Col2a1) and aggrecan were analyzed by real-time PCR, and phosphorylation of Akt and ERK1/2 was analyzed by Western blotting. Chondrocytes were treated with PTEN-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA), as well as IGF-1 and/or tBHP. PTEN and IGF-1 expressions in OA chondrocytes were increased. The downregulation of PTEN expression increased the expression levels of Col2a1 and aggrecan, and increased proteoglycan synthesis under oxidative stress. Oxidative stress decreased the phosphorylation of Akt and increased that of ERK1/2. The downregulation of PTEN expression increased Akt phosphorylation, but did not increase that of ERK 1/2. Our results suggest that PTEN regulates matrix synthesis via the PI3K-Akt pathway under oxidative stress.

Abstract: Summary Objective The p53 tumor-suppressor protein p53R2 is activated in response to various stressors that act on cell signaling. When DNA is damaged, phosphorylation of p53 at its Ser 15 residue induces p53R2 production. The role of p53R2 in chondrocytes remains poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated in chondrocytes, p53R2 expression and its regulation in response to mechanical stress. Furthermore, we investigated the function of p53R2 in relation to mechanotransduction. Methods Osteoarthritis (OA) cartilage obtained from total knee replacements and normal cartilage obtained from femoral neck fractures was used to measure p53R2 expression by using immunohistochemistry, western blotting, and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The OA chondrocytes were subjected to a high magnitude of cyclical tensile strain by using an FX-2000 Flexercell system. Next, sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) production was quantified in these cells. Protein expression of p53R2, and phosphorylation of Akt, p38MAPK, ERK1/2, and JNK was also detected using western blotting. Moreover, Akt phosphorylation was detected after transfecting the cells with p53R2-specific small interfering RNA (siRNA). Results Expression of p53R2 was significantly increased in OA chondrocytes and in chondrocytes after applying 5% tensile strain to the cells. However, Akt phosphorylation was down-regulated in OA chondrocytes after the strain, and was up-regulated after transfection of p53R2. sGAG protein as well as collagen type II and aggrecan mRNA was increased following transfection of p53R2-specific siRNA after 5% tensile strain. Conclusions p53R2 could regulate matrix synthesis via Akt phosphorylation during chondrocyte mechanotransduction. Down-regulation of p53R2 may be a new therapeutic approach in OA therapy.

Abstract: The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a network of three detectors built to detect local perturbations in the space–time metric from astrophysical sources. These detectors, two in Hanford, WA and one in Livingston, LA, are power-recycled Fabry-Perot Michelson interferometers. In their fifth science run (S5), between November 2005 and October 2007, these detectors accumulated one year of triple coincident data while operating at their designed sensitivity. In this paper, we describe the calibration of the instruments in the S5 data set, including measurement techniques and uncertainty estimation., United States.

Abstract: This paper reports an experimental investigation of a scheme to produce an intense, pulsed, point-like, and quasi-monoenergy neutron source. In this scheme, the inner wall of a deuterated plastic spherical cavity is mono-directionally irradiated by a 2.4 kJ laser beam through an open-tip gold cone inserted into the cavity. The whole inner wall of the cavity is illuminated by laser light owing to multiple laser reflections, and the laser-ablated plasma stagnates near the center of the cavity, at which a several keV hot spot is generated. Thermonuclear and beam D-D fusion reactions occur in the hot spot. We have demonstrated the neutron yield exceeding 107 neutrons per pulse from a

Abstract: We present the results of a LIGO search for short-duration gravitational waves (GWs) associated with the 2006 March 29 SGR 1900+14 storm. A new search method is used, "stacking'' the GW data around the times of individual soft-gamma bursts in the storm to enhance sensitivity for models in which multiple bursts are accompanied by GW emission. We assume that variation in the time difference between burst electromagnetic emission and potential burst GW emission is small relative to the GW signal duration, and we time-align GW excess power time-frequency tilings containing individual burst triggers to their corresponding electromagnetic emissions. We use two GW emission models in our search: a fluence-weighted model and a flat (unweighted) model for the most electromagnetically energetic bursts. We find no evidence of GWs associated with either model. Model-dependent GW strain, isotropic GW emission energy E_GW, and \gamma = E_GW / E_EM upper limits are estimated using a variety of assumed waveforms. The stacking method allows us to set the most stringent model-dependent limits on transient GW strain published to date. We find E_GW upper limit estimates (at a nominal distance of 10 kpc) of between 2x10^45 erg and 6x10^50 erg depending on waveform type. These limits are an order of magnitude lower than upper limits published previously for this storm and overlap with the range of electromagnetic energies emitted in SGR giant flares., Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures

Abstract: On JT-60U, two mass data acquisition systems have been acquiring 91 channels of fast-sampling diagnostic data. They are, however, based on rather outdated bus standards and now difficult to update. Therefore we have developed a new mass data acquisition system that has more flexibility and ability to perform a faster data acquisition based on a modern bus standard. The system consists of PXI-based (PCI extensions for instrumentation) digitizers connected to controller PCs, and a server for collecting and processing data from these PCs and transferring them to the main diagnostic computer. Up to now, we have verified that the system acquires 27 channels of data that amounts to 2.2 GB in total, from 3 controller PCs, at a sampling rate of 1 MS/s in a 45 s discharge.

Abstract: The design activity of JT-60SA (JT-60 Super Advanced) addresses the remodeling of JT-60 to a superconducting tokamak device under the JA-EU collaborative ITER–BA project. For the JT-60SA control system, the existing system should be reused as much as possible from the viewpoint of cost-effectiveness. Initial considerations of the configuration of the advanced supervisory control system (SVCS) including the following systems are: (1) an ultimate flexibility real-time control system, (2) a precision timing system able to diagnose a plasma event having a time range of ∼1 μs, and (3) a safety shutdown control system. In this report, we present the design study of the JT-60SA SVCS with the focus on the above systems.

Abstract: Since remote participation in ITER experiments is planned, it is expected to demonstrate that the JT-60SA experiment is controlled from a Japanese remote experiment center located in Rokkasho-mura, Aomori-ken, Japan as a part of the ITER-BA project. Functions required for this experiment are monitoring of the discharge sequence status, handling of the discharge parameter, checking of experiment data, and monitoring of plant data, all of which are included in the existing JT-60 Man–Machine Interfacing System (MMIF). The MMIF is now only available to on-site users at the Naka site due to network safety. The motivation for remote MMIF is prompted by the issue of developing and achieving compatibility with network safety. The Java language has been chosen to implement this task. This paper deals with details of the JT-60 MMIF for the remote experiment that has evolved using the Java language.

Abstract: The fourth science run of the LIGO and GEO 600 gravitational-wave detectors, carried out in early 2005, collected data with significantly lower noise than previous science runs. We report on a search for short-duration gravitational-wave bursts with arbitrary waveform in the 64-1600 Hz frequency range appearing in all three LIGO interferometers. Signal consistency tests, data quality cuts, and auxiliary-channel vetoes are applied to reduce the rate of spurious triggers. No gravitational-wave signals are detected in 15.5 days of live observation time; we set a frequentist upper limit of 0.15 per day (at 90% confidence level) on the rate of bursts with large enough amplitudes to be detected reliably. The amplitude sensitivity of the search, characterized using Monte Carlo simulations, is several times better than that of previous searches. We also provide rough estimates of the distances at which representative supernova and binary black hole merger signals could be detected with 50% efficiency by this analysis., Comment: Corrected amplitude sensitivities (7% change on average); 30 pages, submitted to Classical and Quantum Gravity

Abstract: In JT-60U, a mainframe computer called inter-shot processor (MSP-ISP) had been supervising the data acquisition of diagnostic subsystems, managing the storage of obtained data, and establishing communication with the JT-60U's discharge control system. But due to the increased demand for advanced diagnostics, such as improving spatial and temporal resolutions or extending the data acquisition period, the old ISP had been becoming insufficient in power and less cost effective. To resolve this problem, we have gradually migrated ISP to a new UNIX server (UNIX-ISP), and thereby carried out the decentralization of the old ISP's functionalities. Also we are developing a new mass data acquisition system (MDAS) that has simple architecture but has greater performance and flexibility. Simultaneously, to handle the increased volume of data, we are renewing the data storage system. The renewed data processing system (DPS) is now in operation. The performance of the new ISP and the newly developed MDAS is presented.

Abstract: Preoperative diagnosis of asymptomatic paraganglioma is difficult due to the lack of specific symptoms. In this report, we present a rare case of a small and asymptomatic para-aortic paraganglioma. A 34-year-old woman who complained of back pain was admitted for further examination. No abnormal findings were observed on physical or laboratory examinations. An abdominal CT scan and an abdominal MRI incidentally noted a mass about 3 cm in diameter adjacent to the right edge of the inferior vena cava. The following aortic angiography showed the tumor with a feeding artery diverting directly from the aorta. The tumor was completely resected by laparotomy. The resected tumor, 3 × 3 × 3 cm in size, was soft, dark-reddish and encapsulated. Immunohistochemical examinations showed that it was positive for neuron-specific enolase, chromogranin A and adrenocorticotropin. Under these findings, the diagnosis of para-aortic paraganglioma was determined. Seven years after the operation, she remains asymptomatic and free of disease.
