kn-title=Endothelial Cell Polarity in Health and Disease
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Endothelial cell polarity is fundamental to the organization and function of blood vessels, influencing processes such as angiogenesis, vascular stability, and response to shear stress. This review elaborates on the molecular mechanisms that regulate endothelial cell polarity, focusing on key players like the PAR polarity complex and Rho family GTPases. These pathways coordinate the front–rear, apical–basal and planar polarity of endothelial cells, which are essential for the proper formation and maintenance of vascular structures. In health, endothelial polarity ensures not only the orderly development of blood vessels, with tip cells adopting distinct polarities during angiogenesis, but also ensures proper vascular integrity and function. In disease states, however, disruptions in polarity contribute to pathologies such as coronary artery disease, where altered planar polarity exacerbates atherosclerosis, and cancer, where disrupted polarity in tumor vasculature leads to abnormal vessel growth and function. Understanding cell polarity and its disruption is fundamental not only to comprehending how cells interact with their microenvironment and organize themselves into complex, organ-specific tissues but also to developing novel, targeted, and therapeutic strategies for a range of diseases, from cardiovascular disorders to malignancies, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

kn-title=Petrological characterization for material provenance of haniwa earthenware from mounded tombs in the Kibi region, Japan
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=To determine the provenance of the materials used in the production of haniwa earthenware unearthed from mounded tombs (kofun) in the Kibi region (modern Okayama Prefecture) during the Kofun period (late 3rd – 6th century CE) of Japan, we carried out petrological analyses of haniwa sherds, including optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometry, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and electron-probe analysis. The 25 haniwa sherds analyzed from 12 representative mounded tombs are composed of mineral and rock inclusions with variable grain size set in a clay matrix. The dominant inclusions are quartz, K-feldspar, and plagioclase, associated with minor amounts of amphibole, volcanic glass, and granitic rocks in all the haniwa sherds, and small amounts of hornfels, quartz rock, and accessory minerals, including mica, ilmenite, and chromite, in some of the sherds. Amphibole and plagioclase have compositional variations indicative of the mixing of tephra and granitic components. The compositions of volcanic glass inclusions are similar to those of the Aira-Tanzawa and Kikai-Akahoya tephras widely distributed in southwestern Japan. Bulk chemical compositions show magmatic differentiation trends, which are variable between individual tombs. From these results, it is concluded that the paste materials of haniwa in the Kibi region were commonly derived from weathered granitic rocks mixed with minor amounts of three widespread tephras. The variations of chemical and mineralogical compositions are probably the reflection of local geologic settings, suggesting the presence of specific mining sites of paste materials around each tomb. The mining sites could be located at the bases of hills of granitic rocks covered by widespread tephras and in some cases, near the flood plain of big river systems.

kn-title=Brown Adipose Tissue PPARγ Is Required for the Insulin-Sensitizing Action of Thiazolidinediones
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a critical role in metabolic homeostasis. BAT dysfunction is associated with the development of obesity through an imbalance between energy expenditure and energy intake. The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is the master regulator of adipogenesis. However, the roles of PPARγ and thiazolidinediones (TZDs) in the regulation of BAT metabolism remain unclear. TZDs, which are selective PPARγ activators, improve systemic insulin resistance in animals and humans. In the present study, we generated brown adipocyte-specific PPARγ-deficient mice (BATγKO) to examine the in vivo roles of PPARγ and TZDs in BAT metabolism. In electron microscopic examinations, brown adipocyte-specific PPARγ deletion promoted severe whitening of brown fat and morphological alteration of mitochondria. Brown adipocyte-specific PPARγ deletion also reduced mRNA expression of BAT-selective genes. Although there was no difference in energy expenditure between control and BATγKO mice in calorimetry, norepinephrine-induced thermogenesis was impaired in BATγKO mice. Moreover, pioglitazone treatment improved diet-induced insulin resistance in the control mice but not in the BATγKO mice. These findings suggest that BAT PPARγ is necessary for the maintenance of brown adipocyte function and for the insulin-sensitizing action of TZDs.

kn-title=Prevalence of Inducible Macrolide, Lincosamide, and Streptogramin B (inducible MLSB) Resistance in Clindamycin-Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus at Okayama University Hospital
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Inducible resistance to the macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramin B (iMLSB) antibiotic family is a latent mechanism for antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus aureus. We here investigated the frequency and genotypic profiles of iMLSB resistance in clindamycin (CLDM)-susceptible S. aureus isolated in Okayama University Hospital from June 2020 to June 2021. We phenotypically screened the iMLSB resistance via D-zone test and performed PCR testing for the erythromycin ribosomal methylase (erm) genes: ermA and ermC. Among 432 CLDM-susceptible S. aureus isolates, 138 (31.9%) exhibited an iMLSB-resistance phenotype, with methicillinresistant S. aureus isolates (MRSA; 61 isolates: 58.6%) exhibiting higher positivity than methicillin-sensitive S. aureus isolates (MSSA; 77 isolates: 23.5%) (p<0.001). Male patients had a higher frequency of iMLSB resistance than females (OR [95%CI]: 1.8 [1.2-2.8]; p=0.007). Genotypically, ermA predominated in both MSSA (70.1%) and MRSA (86.9%) compared to ermC (14.3% in MSSA and 11.5% in MRSA). A single strain of MRSA possessed both ermA and ermC, while 12 (15.6%) MSSA isolates were negative for both ermA and ermC, suggesting the presence of other genetic mechanisms. Collectively, these results show that approximately 33% of CLDM-susceptible S. aureus isolates at our university hospital exhibited iMLSB resistance, predominantly caused by ermA in both MSSA and MRSA.

kn-title=Idiopathic Pneumonia Syndrome Refractory to Ruxolitinib after Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide-based Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: Lung Pathological Findings from an Autopsy Case
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=A 69-year-old Japanese man with acute leukemia received post-transplant cyclophosphamide-based haploidentical stem cell transplantation (PTCY-haplo-SCT) but was readmitted with dyspnea and ground-glass-opacities of the lungs. Bronchoscopy showed inflammatory changes with no signs of infection. He received steroids but required intubation as his condition deteriorated. In addition to antithymocyte globulin and cyclophosphamide, we administered ruxolitinib but failed to save him. Autopsy findings revealed fibrotic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) without evidence of organizing pneumonia or infection. Thus, we diagnosed idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS). As far as our knowledge, this is the first case of IPS with NSIP histology after PTCY-haplo-SCT.

kn-title=Current Insights into Mesenchymal Signatures in Glioblastoma
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Glioblastoma (GBM) is a fatal primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Despite decades of research, the prognosis for GBM patients is still disappointing. One major reason for the intense therapeutic resistance of GBM is inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity. GBM-intrinsic transcriptional profiling has suggested the presence of at least three subtypes of GBM: the proneural, classic, and mesenchymal subtypes. The mesenchymal subtype is the most aggressive, and patients with the mesenchymal subtype of primary and recurrent tumors tend to have a worse prognosis compared with patients with the other subtypes. Furthermore, GBM can shift from other subtypes to the mesenchymal subtype over the course of disease progression or recurrence. This phenotypic transition is driven by diverse tumor-intrinsic molecular mechanisms or microenvironmental factors. Thus, better understanding of the plastic nature of mesenchymal transition in GBM is pivotal to developing new therapeutic strategies. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the elements involved in the mesenchymal transition of GBM and discuss future perspectives.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We report a notch-shaped coplanar microwave waveguide antenna on a glass plate designed for on-chip detection of optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) of fluorescent nanodiamonds (NDs). A lithographically patterned thin wire at the center of the notch area in the coplanar waveguide realizes a millimeter-scale ODMR detection area (1.5 × 2.0 mm2) and gigahertz-broadband characteristics with low reflection (∼8%). The ODMR signal intensity in the detection area is quantitatively predictable by numerical simulation. Using this chip device, we demonstrate a uniform ODMR signal intensity over the detection area for cells, tissue, and worms. The present demonstration of a chip-based microwave architecture will enable scalable chip integration of ODMR-based quantum sensing technology into various bioassay platforms.

kn-title=Design of Clickable Ionic Liquid Monomers to Enhance Ionic Conductivity for Main-Chain 1,2,3-Triazolium-Based Poly(Ionic Liquid)s
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=A series of clickable alpha-azide-omega-alkyne ionic liquid (IL) monomers with an ethylene oxide spacer were developed and applied to the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazolium-based poly(ionic liquid)s (TPILs) with high ionic conductivities via one-step thermal azide-alkyne cycloaddition click chemistry. Subsequently, the number of IL moieties in the resultant TPILs was further increased by N-alkylation of the 1,2,3-triazole-based backbones of the TPILs with a quarternizing reagent. This strategy affords the preparation of TPILs having either one or two 1,2,3-triazolium cations with bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide anions in a monomer unit. Synthesis of the TPILs was confirmed by H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. The effects of the length of the ethylene oxide spacer and the number of IL moieties in the IL monomer unit on the physicochemical properties of the TPILs were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and impedance spectroscopy. The introduction of a longer ethylene oxide spacer or an increase in the number of IL moieties in the monomer unit resulted in TPILs with lower glass-transition temperatures and higher ionic conductivities. The highest ionic conductivity achieved in this study was 2.0 x 10(-5) S cm(-1) at 30 degrees C. These results suggest that the design of the IL monomer provides the resultant polymer with high chain flexibility and a high IL density, and so it is effective for preparing TPILs with high ionic conductivities.

kn-title=Assessment of Demineralization Inhibition Effects of Dentin Desensitizers Using Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of action and the inhibiting effects of two types of desensitizers against dentin demineralization using pre-demineralized hypersensitivity tooth model in vitro. In this study, we confirmed that a hypersensitivity tooth model from our preliminary experiment could be prepared by immersing dentin discs in an acetic acid-based solution with pH 5.0 for three days. Dentin discs with three days of demineralization were prepared and applied by one of the desensitizers containing calcium fluoro-alumino-silicate glass (Nanoseal, NS) or fluoro-zinc-silicate glass (Caredyne Shield, CS), followed by an additional three days of demineralization. Dentin discs for three days of demineralization (de3) and six days of demineralization (de6) without the desensitizers were also prepared. The dentin discs after the experimental protocol were scanned using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) to image the cross-sectional (2D) view of the samples and evaluate the SS-OCT signal. The signal intensity profiles of SS-OCT from the region of interest of 300, 500, and 700 mu m in depth were obtained to calculate the integrated signal intensity and signal attenuation coefficient. The morphological differences and remaining chemical elements of the dentin discs were also analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. SS-OCT images of CS and NS groups showed no obvious differences between the groups. However, SS-OCT signal profiles for both the CS and NS groups showed smaller attenuation coefficients and larger integrated signal intensities than those of the de6 group. Reactional deposits of the desensitizers even after the additional three days of demineralization were observed on the dentin surface in NS group, whereas remnants containing Zn were detected within the dentinal tubules in CS group. Consequently, both CS and NS groups showed inhibition effects against the additional three days of demineralization in this study. Our findings demonstrate that SS-OCT signal analysis can be used to monitor the dentin demineralization and inhibition effects of desensitizers against dentin demineralization in vitro.

kn-title=Newly developed data-matching methodology for oral implant surgery allowing the automatic deletion of metal artifacts in 3D-CT images using new reference markers: A case report
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Patients: The patient was a 55-year-old woman with left upper molar free-end edentulism and 9 full cast metal crowns in her mouth. Three three-dimensional (3D) images were superimposed: a computed tomography (CT) image with the patient wearing the CT-matching template (CTMT) with six glass ceramic markers, which hardly generate any artifacts, on the template surface, and oral plaster model surfaces with and without CTMTs. Metal artifacts were automatically removed by a Boolean operation identifying unrealistic images outside the oral plaster model surface. After the preoperative simulation, fully guided oral implant surgery was performed. Two implant bodies were placed in the left upper edentulism. The placement errors calculated by comparing the preoperative simulation and actual implant placement were then assessed by a software program using the 3D-CT bone morphology as a reference. The 3D deviations between the preoperative simulation and actual placement at the entry of the implant body were a maximum 0.48 mm and minimum 0.26 mm. Those at the tip of the implant body were a maximum 0.56 mm and a minimum 0.25 mm.<br/>
Discussion: In this case, the maximum 3D deviations at the entry and tip section were less than in previous studies using double CT.<br/>
Conclusions: Accurate image fusion utilizing CTMT with new reference markers was possible for a patient with many metal restorations. Using a surgical guide manufactured by the new matching methodology (modified single CT scan method), implant placement deviation can be minimized in patients with many metal restorations.

kn-title=Preoperative Use of Alpha-1 Receptor Blockers in Male Patients Undergoing Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for a Ureteral Calculus
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In this retrospective single-center cohort study, we investigated the impact of preoperative use of an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor (AR) blocker on the outcome of single-session extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) in 193 male patients who underwent SWL for a single ureteral calculus between 2006 and 2016. We reviewed their medical records to obtain the data on the preoperative use of alpha-1 AR blockers. The primary outcome was treatment success after single-session SWL. We performed a multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusting for clinically important confounders to examine the association between preoperative use of alpha-1 AR blockers and the treatment success of SWL. Among the 193 patients, 15 (7.8%) were taking an alpha-1 AR blocker preoperatively. A multivariable analysis showed that preoperative use of an alpha-1 AR blocker was a significant negative predictor for treatment success of SWL (adjusted odds ratio 0.17; 95% confidence intervals, 0.04-0.74). Our findings suggest that the preoperative use of an alpha-1 AR blocker was a negative predictor of treatment success of SWL in male patients with a single ureteral calculus. Clinicians should pay more attention to the preoperative drug use in determining an appropriate stone therapy modality.

kn-title=The Efficacy of Mirabegron for the Relief of Ureteral Stent-Related Symptoms
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract= To investigate the efficacy of mirabegron for lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with an indwelling ureteral stent after ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy. This was a prospective follow-up study of 76 patients with stent-related symptoms (SRSs). Patients with upper urinary calculi who were pre-stented for > 2 weeks before lithotripsy were examined for the presence of SRSs by tests including the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), OAB Symptom Score (OABSS), and urinary bother and pain measured by a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before lithotripsy. Mirabegron (50 mg/day) was prescribed post-lithotripsy for 2 weeks. SRSs were assessed at the time of stent removal. The IPSS scores improved significantly from 16.2 to 14.3 (p<0.001) and the IPSS-QoL scores decreased significantly from 5.0 to 4.6 (p=0.012). The OABSS scores improved significantly from 7.7 to 6.8 (p=0.006), and the urinary urgency scores (OABSS-Q3) decreased significantly from 3.24 to 2.68 (p<0.001). The number of nocturia episodes decreased significantly from 2.5 to 2.2 (p=0.045). Urinary bother and pain assessed by the VAS declined from 4.2 and 3.1 to 3.8 (p=0.15) and 2.5 (p=0.075), respectively. Mirabegron significantly improved SRSs and the number of nocturia episodes due to a ureteral stent.

kn-title=X-ray and Neutron Study on the Structure of Hydrous SiO2 Glass up to 10 GPa
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The structure of hydrous amorphous SiO2 is fundamental in order to investigate the effects of water on the physicochemical properties of oxide glasses and magma. The hydrous SiO2 glass with 13 wt.% D2O was synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions and its structure was investigated by small angle X-ray scattering, X-ray diffraction, and neutron diffraction experiments at pressures of up to 10 GPa and room temperature. This hydrous glass is separated into two phases: a major phase rich in SiO2 and a minor phase rich in D2O molecules distributed as small domains with dimensions of less than 100 angstrom. Medium-range order of the hydrous glass shrinks compared to the anhydrous SiO2 glass by disruption of SiO4 linkage due to the formation of Si-OD deuterioxyl, while the response of its structure to pressure is almost the same as that of the anhydrous SiO2 glass. Most of D2O molecules are in the small domains and hardly penetrate into the void space in the ring consisting of SiO4 tetrahedra.

kn-title=Organic Matter Preservation and Incipient Mineralization of Microtubules in 120 Ma Basaltic Glass
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Hollow tubular structures in subaqueously-emplaced basaltic glass may represent trace fossils caused by microbially-mediated glass dissolution. Mineralized structures of similar morphology and spatial distribution in ancient, metamorphosed basaltic rocks have widely been interpreted as ichnofossils, possibly dating to similar to 3.5 Ga or greater. Doubts have been raised, however, regarding the biogenicity of the original hollow tubules and granules in basaltic glass. In particular, although elevated levels of biologically-important elements such as C, S, N, and P as well as organic compounds have been detected in association with these structures, a direct detection of unambiguously biogenic organic molecules has not been accomplished. In this study, we describe the direct detection of proteins associated with tubular textures in basaltic glass using synchrotron X-ray spectromicroscopy. Protein-rich organic matter is shown to be associated with the margins of hollow and partly-mineralized tubules. Furthermore, a variety of tubule-infilling secondary minerals, including Ti-rich oxide phases, were observed filling and preserving the microtextures, demonstrating a mechanism whereby cellular materials may be preserved through geologic time.

kn-title=Spiral Trajectory Modulation of Rheotaxic Motile Human Sperm in Cylindrical Microfluidic Channels of Different Inner Diameters
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract= We investigated the relationship between human sperm rheotaxis and motile sperm trajectories by using poly-(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based cylindrical microfluidic channels with inner diameters of 100 μm, 50 μm, and 70 μm, which corresponded to the inner diameter of the human isthmus, the length of a sperm and a diameter intermediate between the two, respectively. We counted the number of rheotaxic sperm and sperm with spiral motion. We also analyzed motile sperm trajectories. As the cylindrical channel diameter was decreased, the percentage of sperm cells exhibiting rheotaxis, the percentage of sperm cells exhibiting spiral motion, the frequency-to-diameter ratio of the sperm cells’ spiral trajectories, and the surface area of the microfluidic channel increased, while the flagellar motion at the channel wall decreased. The percentage of sperm exhibiting a spiral trajectory and the frequency-to-diameter ratio of the sperm cells’ spiral trajectories were thus affected by the channel diameter. Our findings suggest that the oviduct structure affects the swimming properties of sperm cells, guiding them from the uterus to the ampulla for egg fertilization. These results could contribute to the development of motile sperm-sorting microfluidic devices for assisted reproductive technologies.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Alginic acid was immobilized on γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-coated glass as a model substrate since an alginic acid layer was known to prevent cell adhesion. The surface was characterized with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle measurement. The coated substrates adsorbed practically no calcium phosphates on their surfaces when soaked in a simulated body fluid (SBF) of Kolrubo recipe. Since calcium ions are one of the factors for blood clotting, the present alginic acid coating is one of the candidates to improve blood compatibility of clinical materials.

kn-title=Consideration on the Correlation between Basicity of Oxide Glasses and O1s Chemical Shift in XPS
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=O1s binding energy measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is candidate as a new tool to determine a new scale of Lewis basicity of oxide ions in glass. Some mathematical expressions for the basicity or XPS chemical shift, such as charge parameter and optical basicity, were compared with the experimental O1s binding energy in binary alkali oxide glasses. The expressions so far in use needed some modification in parameters. A new empirical expression introduced in this paper gives a new concept and universal scale of basicity.

kn-title=Risks of Chest X-ray Examination for Students
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=<p>Chest X-ray (CXR) examination is considered essential for health checkups of students;thus, it is important to objectively assess the CXR for a better understanding of the appropriate X-ray exposure dose, and the risks such an examination entails. Accordingly, we performed a multi-institutional study regarding students' CXR exposure, during a 6year-period from 2002 (partially including 2001) to 2007, with the collaboration of national, municipal, and private universities and colleges in Japan. A glass badge was worn by the students at the time of CXR screening examination. These glass badges were collected, and their X-ray exposure doses were measured. The results indicated a tendency of decreasing exposure dose over the 6 years, though the difference was not significant. In a comparison of the chest X-ray systems within institutions (own X-ray equipmentinside systems) with those outside the institution (mobile X-ray equipmentoutside systems), the average exposure dose with the outside systems exceeded that of the inside systems. Both inside and outside systems included a few X-ray machines with which the exposure was more than 1mSv. Based on these facts, individuals in charge of student health checkups should be aware of the exposure dose of each chest fluorographic system at their institution.</p>

kn-title=Embedding of Laboratory Wastes in Clay or Concrete Blocks, with Special Reference to Baking Osmic Acid and Cacodylic Acid Wastes with Clay
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=<p>Liquid laboratory waste containing osmic acid and cacodylic acid was mixed with potter's clay or hydraulic cement. The clay-waste product was kneaded into blocks and baked in a klin (1,200-1,400 degrees C). The cement-waste product was allowed to harden into concrete blocks. Some of the baked clay blocks and concrete blocks were ground, and immersed in 1 N NaOH or 10% HCI solutions for 3-6 months. X-ray microanalysis of the dried samples of these solutions showed that no leakage of osmium and arsenic occurred in the baked clay embedding, and that some leakage of these agents occurred in the concrete embedding. The present study indicates that the baked clay embedding method is useful for safe storage of dangerous laboratory wastes. Additional experiments suggested that glass embedding is also useful for safe storage of laboratory wastes or harmful metals.</p>

kn-abstract=The Japanese standard rocks JB-1 and JG-1 are analyzed with the electron microprobe. The glass chips are prepared by direct fusion method by Nicholls (1974). Slight modifications of Nicholls' method for fusion temperature and preparation of rock powder give good results. Production of homogeneous glass chips needs fusion for 20 seconds at temperature 1500 to 1600℃ for basalt (JB-1) and 1800 to 1900℃ for granodiorite (JG-1). Very fine rock powder less than 10μm is preferable.

kn-abstract=Experimental procedures used in this study are the same as those developed by Sakai and Dickson (1978). 0.005 M Na(2)S(2)O(3) solutions were heated to 400℃ under 1000 bar water pressure in a gold bag of Dickson gold-bag equipment (Fig. 1). At an elevated temperature Na(2)S(2)O(3) quickly and completely decomposed into 1:1 mixture of SO(4)(2-) and H(2)S (eq. (1)) and subsequent isotope exchange (eq. (2)) was monitored by consecutively withdrawing aliquots of solution for chemical and isotopic analyses at desired time intervals. For the preparation of SO(2) for isotope analyses, 2 to 5 mg BaSO(4) was thoroughly mixed with silica glass powder of 10 times the BaSO(4) in weight and heated to 1400℃ or so in sealed, evacuated silica glass tubings (see Fig. 2 and equation (4)). The technique is a modification of Holt and Engelkemeir (1971). The (18)O/(16)O ratios of SO(2) thus formed stayed constant by exchange with silica glass powder (Fig. 3). Numerical data of the three runs performed in this study are summarized in Tables 1 to 3. In runs 2 and 3, a small aliquot of (34)S- enriched H(2)SO(4) was added into the starting solution and thus equilibrium was approached from above the quilibrium value (see Fig. 4). When isotope exchange occurs between two molecules, X and Y, the reaction rate, r, is related to the extent of exchange, F, at given time, t, by equation (17), where X and Y indicate concentrations of given species, α(e), α(o) and α denote the　fractionation factor at equilibrium, at time　t=0 and at an arbitrary time t, and F = (α - α(o))/(α(e) - α(0)) or the extent of isotope exchange. Assuming the exchange rate is of the first order with respect to both X and Y and to the β'th power of hydrogen ion activity, a(H)(+), eq. (17) reduces to eq. (19), where k(1) denotes the rate constant. If X, Y and pH of solution stayed constant during the run, the half-time, t(1/2), of the exchange reaction can be obtained graphically as shown in Fig. 5. The t(1/2) for runs 1, 2, and 3 are determined to be 5.8, 5.5 and 6.1 hrs,
respectively. Introducing F=0.5 and t=t(1/2) into eq. (19), we obtain eq. (20) which is graphically shown in Fig. 6 using the data by the present work and those by Sakai and Dickson(1978). The numerical values of log k(1) + 0.16 may be obtained by extrapolating the lines to pH=0 and, from these values, the rate constant, k(1) , may be calculated for temperatures of 300° and 400℃. From these two values of k(1) and from the Arrhenius plot, the activation energy of the exchange reaction was calculated to be 22 kcal/mole, a much smaller value than 55 kcal/mole obtained by Igumnov (1977). The value of β is found to be 0.29 at 300℃ and 0.075 at 400℃, although the physico-chemical nature of β is not clear to the present authors. Using these values, eq. (24), where C is a constant, is derived which would enable us to calculate the t(1/2) of any system of known ΣS and pH. However, as we do not know yet how β varies with different systems, eq. (24) is applicable only to limited systems in which temperature, total sulfur contents and pH are similar to those of the present study. Fig. 7 illustrates how t(1/2) varies with pH and total sulfur content at 300° and 400℃ and predicts t(1/2) for some solutions obtainable by hydrothermal reactions of seawater with various igneous rocks. The average equilibrium fractionation factor at 400℃ obtained by this study is 1.0153, in good accord with 1.0151 given by Igumnov et al. (1977). Theoretical fractionation factors between SO(4)(2-) and H(2)S have been calculated by Sakai (1968) , who gives too high values compared to the experimental data obtained by this and other researchers (Fig. 9). In the present study, the reduced partition function ratio (R.P.F.R.) of SO(4)(2-) was recalculated using two sets of the vibrational frequencies of SO(4)(2-) (shown in Table 5) and the valence force fields of Heath and Linnett (1947), which reproduces the observed frequencies of SO(4)(2-) better than Urey-Bradley force field used by Sakai (1968). The results of new calculation are shown in Table 6. This table also includes the R.P.F.R. of H(2)S which was calculated by Thode et al. (1971). Using these new R.P.F.R. of SO(4)(2-) and H(2)S, the fractionation factors between SO(4)(2-) and H(2)S were calculated and are listed in the last column of Table 6 and plotted in Fig. 9. Fig. 9 indicates that the new calculation gives values more shifted from the experimental values than before. The major sulfate ions in our solution at 300° and 400℃ exist as NaSO(4)(-) (Sakai and Dickson, 1978; see also Table 4 of this paper) and, therefore, the measured fractionation factors are those between NaSO(4)(-) and H(2)S. The discrepancy between the theory and experiments may, at least, be partially explained by this fact, although other more important reasons, which are not known to us at the moment, may also exist.

kn-title=Photoconductive and Photovoltaic Properties in Cadmium Bismuth Aluminate Glasses
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Photo-induced phenomena such as photoconductive and photovoltaic effects were investigated for the glasses in CdO-Bi(2)O(3)-Al(2)O(3) system. Photoconductive effect was characterized by a slow decay of photocurrent (persitent photoconductivity). The decay rate decreased with increasing CdO content and decreasing Bi(2)O(3) content. Photovoltage was very small at room temperature but increased to an obvious value on heating. The photoconductivity and photovoltage were increased with CdO content and enhanced by heat treatment in air. The valence band spectra of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the hybridization of Cd 4d and O 2p orbitals increases with decreasing Bi(2)O(3) content and increasing CdO content in the glasses. As the results maximum tends to flat. This type of band structure inhibits the rapid recombination of electrons and holes. The persistent photoconductivity of the glasses may be attributed to deep energy level of DX centers. Deep energy levels of the glasses are able to prevent the recombination because they have a repulsive barrier for both electron emission and capture.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The thermal expansion coefficient of some bioactive glasses in the system CaO-SiO(2)-B(2)O(3) were adjusted to be similar to that of titanium by controlling the composition. A glass of composition 45CaO･30SiO(2)･25B(2)O(3) was selected among those as the enameling glass. A slurry was prepared by mixing the glass powder and ethanal to be developed on titanium and heated at 740℃ for 30 min. Thus treated specimen was soaked in a simulated body fluid (Kokubo solutiion). FT-IR reflection and thin film X-ray diffraction analyses indicated apatite formation on the glass coating layer within 12 h of soaking in the fluid. Thus titanium could be provided with bioactivity due to the enameling.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Nb(2)O(5)-and Ta(2)O(5)-doped calcium si1icate glasses were soaked for various periods in a simulated body fluid(Kokubo solution) up to 30 days. Apatite formation ability of the surface of these glasses were investigated with thin-film X-ray diffraction and FT-IR reflection spectroscopy. The effects of these additive oxides on the bioactivity of CaO･SiO(2) based glass were discussed. A small amount of Nb(2)O(5) and Ta(2)O(5) suppressed the rate of silica hydrogel layer formation and the apatite formation on the surface of the glasses. The rate of the apatite nucleation on the surface of Nb(2)O(5)-doped calcium silicate glass was slower than that on the surface of Ta(2)O(5)-doped calcium silicate glass. It was concluded that the decrease in the apatite forming ability of calcium silicate glasses by these additive oxides is attributed to the suppression of formation of silica hydrogel layer which plays an important role in apatite nucleation.

en-title=Studies on experimental brain edema I. Basic considerations in measuring water content in the brain tissue by tritiated water ((3)H(2)O)

kn-abstract=The author attempted to establish a new method of measuring water content in the brain tissue using tritiated water and a liquid scintillation counter. Approximately 50 mg of brain tissue was taken, put into a 1 ml disposable syringe and squeezed out in a centrifuge tube containing 2.5 ml of methylalcohol. This was then subjected to supersonication (by a supersonication bacterial homogenizer T-A-4201) for 3 minutes to prepare brain tissue homogenate. The homogenate was mixed in a glass vial with 20 ml of previously prepared scintillator for liquid scintillation counting. The author prepared six kinds of scintillators and investigated which scintillator was the best one in efficiency, and reproducibility for counting. The six kinds of scintillators were as follows: 1) Simple scintillator which was composed of one liter of toluene, 5 g of PPO and 300 mg of DM-POPOP. 2) Simple scintillator with 4 % Cab-o-sil. 3) Simple scintillator with 500 ml of Triton X 100. 4), 5) and 6) were the same composition as scintillators 1) to 3), but also had 50 ml of Soluene 100 added. The author concluded that the most suitable scintillator was No. 5 which was composed of simple scintillator, Cab-o-sil and Soluene 100. Next, the author examined the accuracy of this method in measuring the water content of brain tissue. Cold induced edema was produced in the right parietal region of rats. Half of the animals were untreated. The others were treated with 0.8 mg/Kg of dexamethasone after cold injury. The water content was calculated as follows: Ratio of increased water cpm/g of tritiated water in content in the injured = the injured hemisphere / cpm/g of tritiated water in ×100 hemisphere the non-injured hemisphere In the untreated animals, the water content in the injured side increased significantly from the control of 100.7±0.5 to 105.5±0.8 at 24 hours after cold injury. (Values are mean±S.D.) In the dexamethasone treated group, the water content in the injured side decreased significantly to 101.0±0.7 at 24 hours after injury. From these results, the author concluded that this new method might be an accurate, reproducible, unique and useful one for measuring the water content of brain tissue.

kn-abstract=A series of ferroelectric glass-ceramics was elaborated by the controlled growth of Ba(1-x)Sr(x)TiO(3) crystal particles in the glass system 60[Ba(1-y)Sr(y)]TiO(3)-10Al(2)O(3)-30SiO(2)(0≦y≦0.2) in molar basis. Analysis of crystal
phases by X-ray diffraction revealed that Sr content in Ba(1-x)Sr(x)TiO(3) increased with increasing content of SrO in glasses by its preferential transfer into the crystal phase, and the appropriate temperature for the crystal growth was 1100°C. Curie temperatures of glass
-ceramics shifted to lower temperature with increasing SrO content in the crystal and comparatively high dielectric
constant was obtained at room temperature for a glass-ceramics with y=0.2. Frequency dependences of dielectric constant and loss tangent were examined in the frequency range from 1 K to 1 M Hz.

kn-abstract=Succeeding to 60(Ba,Sr)TiO(3)-10A1(2)O(3)-30SiO(2)glassceramics reported in our previous paper, another type
of ferroelectric glass-ceramics was elaborated by the
controlled growth of Ba(l-x)Ca(x)TiO(3) crystal particles in the glass system 60 (Ba(l-y)Ca(y)) TiO(3)-10Al(2)O(3)-30SiO(2) (0.0<y<0.25) in molar basis. Analysis of crystal phases by X-ray diffraction revealed that Ca content in the
crystal phase of Ba(l-x)Ca(x)TiO(3) increased with increasing amount of CaO in glass up to y=0.125, and the composition of Ba(l-x)Ca(x)TiO(3) solid solution was restricted by x=0.225. Curie points(Tc) of the present glasscceramics were independent of the composition of Ba(l-x)Ca(x)TiO(3), however temperature coefficients of Σ were
lowered by the addition of increasing amount of CaO.
Frequency dependencies of dielectric constant and loss tangent were examined in the frequency range from 1 k to 1 M Hz.

kn-abstract=The glass forming limit by substitution of CdS for CdO in a CdO-B(2)0(3) glass was determined by chemical analysis. When x CdS-(60-x)CdO-40B(2)0(3) nominal mixtures in weight ratio were heated at 1100°C in flowing nitrogen gas for 1/2 hour, about 40~50% of mixed CdS and 10-15% of the mixed CdS were evaporated. The limit of nominal composition for glass forming was 10CdS-50CdO-40B(2)0(3) and the corresponding virtual composition after the above heat treatment was found to be 4.9CdS-46.4CdO-48.7B(2)O(3). Further addition of CdS made the melt devitrefied with CdS precipitation. D.C. conductivity measurements revealed that the current density was not linear with respect to the applied voltage, but the resistivity ranged around 10(12)Ω･cm for 4.1CdS-48.8CdO-47.1B(2)O(3) (virtual composition) glass and around 10(11.5)Ω·cm for 4.9CdS-46.4CdO-48.7B(2)O(3) glass. These sulphur containing glasses did not show photoconduction, although CdS-precipitated materials showed slight photoconductivity when disposed in ultra violet radiation. Apparent dielectric constant and tan 8 were also measured as a function of frequency, revealing a moderate dispersion in the CdS-precipitated glasses.

kn-title=Preparation of ZnO Films by Activated Reactive Evaporation Method
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Zinc oxide films were prepared on silica glass substrates by the use of an r.f. activated reactive evaporation (ARE) method, and were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron micrograph (SEM). XRD measurements indicate that the films were c-axis oriented and that an r.f. plasma of Zn and O was necessary for the ZnO film deposition. Substrate temperature, oxygen gas pressure, evaporation rate, r.f. power and inlet position of oxygen gas effect the c-axis orientation, the growth rate and the microstructure of the films. Optimum conditions for a dense film with a fine texture of the surface and having good crystallinity were as follows: the substrate temperature;400℃, the evaporation rate;5.0(A)/s, the oxygen pressure;2.0x10(-4) Torr, the r.f. power;150 to 200W, and the oxygen gas inlet near the substrate. For the film prepared under the optimum conditions, the standard deviation　σ　of the rocking curve for the (002) diffraction was 1.9deg, smaller than that of the film prepared by using an r.f. sputtering method.

kn-title=The Diffusion of Sodium Ions into Tin Oxide Thin Films from Glass Substrates
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Electrical resistance and X-ray photoelectron depth profile analysis are studied for antimony doped tin oxide films developed on silica, alkali-free and sodalime slide glass substrates. The sodium ions diffused from the substrates to the films prevented the crystal growth of rutile type tin oxide in the film, resulting in the high electrical resistance. A diffusion layer has been detected for each film with diffuse profiles of multi valent cations (Sn, Si or Ca) at the interface of the tin oxide film and substrate. A greater amount of sodium atoms have been detected in the film developed on the soda-lime glass while almost no sodium atoms have been found in those on the other substrates. This can be explained by the diffusion of the sodium ions in the substrate due to a drastic hydronium-sodium exchange mechanism under highly acidic conditions during the dipping and drying processes.

kn-title=Effect of Alcohol on Bioactivity of Glasses
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=One of the CaO,SiO(2)-based bioactive glasses(5OCaO･ 5OSiO (2) in mol%) were soaked for various periods in a simulated body fluid(SBF) with or without containing alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and 1-propanol. Effect of the alcohols was investigated on the apatite formation on the glass surface with thin-film X-ray diffraction, FT-IR reflection spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Under the presence of alcohols up to 0.1mol/l in the SBF an apatite layer was formed on the glass, while it consisted of crystallites similar in morphology but
larger in size than that found for the SBF without the alcohols. It was concluded that the alcohols little influenced the the apatite forming ability of the CaO,SiO(2)-based glasses.

kn-abstract=Poly(methyl methacrylate) substrates were immersed in suspensions containing bioactive 50CaO･50SiO(2) (mol%) glass particles (45 μm in diameter) and a 6:4 (volume fraction) mixture of ethanol and THF, and an ultrasonic energy was applied to the system. A layer of glass particles was implanted and covered more than 50% of the substrate surface. Thin film X-ray diffraction patterns and FT-IR reflection spectra indicated deposition of apatite on the glass-implanted substrates after they were soaked for 12 h in a simulated body fluid similar in apatite-deposition ability to the human blood plasma. Flake-like apatite crystallites formed on the substrate soaked in SBF for 3 days.

kn-title=骨髄異形成症候群における melphalan 少量療法の検討
en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a disorder of multipotential hematopoietic stem cells. There is no effective therapy for MDS, especially for MDS associated with an excess of blasts, such as refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) or RAEB in transformation (RAEBt). We previously reported the effect of K-18 (a human IgG-melphalan conjugate) in 15 patients with RAEB or RAEBt. The overall response rate was not high, but no side effects were noted. Although the mode of action of K-18 is not certain, it was suggested that the effect was associated with the activity of melpahlan itself. Therefore, low-dose melphalan therapy was initiated in eldery patients with RAEB or RAEBt. Six patients with RAEB and 12 patients with RAEBt received 2mg oral administration daily. Median age of the patients was 64. Six patients achieved complete remission (CR), one patient showed a partial response and four patients had a minor response. Total dosage of melpahlan for patients who achieved CR was 143±18 mg. Median duration of CR was 14.5 months. Serious toxicity was not encountered in any case and neither marrow suppression nor pancytopenia were observed in cases that achieved CR during the administration of melphalan. Changes in cell surface markers (CD34, CD33, CD13) were examined during the time course of CR in two cases. CD34 + cells decreased rapidly during the first two weeks and CD34-CD33+cells increased after four weeks of melpahlan administration. Studying the clinical course of CR with cell surface marker analysis provided evidence that melphalan therapy induced differentiation of transformed hemopoietic precursors.
We conclude that daily chronic administration of melpahlan is a useful therapy for elderly patients with RAEB or RAEBt.

kn-abstract=Zinc oxide films were prepared on silica glass substrates by the use of an r.f. activated reactive evaporation (ARE) method, and were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The electrical conductivity of the films and the doping effect of Al ions were also investigated.

Substrate temperature, oxygen gas pressure, evaporation rate, r.f. power and Al doping amount affect the c-axis orientation, the growth rate, the microstructure of the films and electrical conductivity. Optimum conditions with a fine texture of the surface and having good ctystallinity as well as good conductivity (≒10(-4)Ω・cm) were as follows : the substrate temperature; 200℃, the total evaporation rate; 1.0Å/s, the oxygen pressure; 2.0×10(-4) Torr, the r.f. power; 250W and the Al evaporation rare ratio; 2～6%. The films with 1.0×10(-3)Ω・cm were prepared at 50℃ for the substrate temperature.

kn-abstract=Glass-ceramics containing Pb(x)Cd(1-x)F(2) microcrystallites were prepared through heat treatment of Tm(3+)/Yb(3+)doped SiO(2)-Al(2)O(3)-PbF(2) glasses. The crystallite size was controlled by varying the heat-treatment time. By changing glass composition, two types of strong optical scattering, Rayleigh and Mie scattering modes were observed for the glass ceramics. In the case of Rayleigh scattering, the scattering region expanded to the long-wavelength side with increasing the heat-treatment time. On the other hand, in the case of Mie scattering, the region were hardly dependent on wavelength, and visible light was widely scattered. It was argued that the different scattering phenomena were caused by the different size of the crystallites or their morphogical texture. Furthermore, the glass-ceramics with strong optical scattering showed higher upconversion fluorescence intensity than the matrix glass. The mechanisms for the enhanced upconversion due to the scattering were discussed.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The effects of ultrasonic surface treatment (UST) on the crystallization behavior and optical emission properties were investigated for the transparent glass-ceramics prepared from calcium aluminosilicate glasses co-doped with Eu(2+), Nd(3+). The glass-ceramics A were prepared by sintering a glass 45CaO・45Al(2)O(3)・10SiO(2) (mol%) containing 0.5Eu(2)O(3)+1Nd(2)O(3) under a 2% H(2)+98% Ar reducing atmosphere. In the glass-ceramics A, three crystalline phases, CaAl(2)O(4) (CA), CaAl(4)O(7) (CA2) and Ca(2)Al(2)SiO(7) (CAS) were commonly confirmed by X-ray diffraction. No drastic change in the amount of the precipitated crystalline phases was observed even in the case using UST of CA powders. It was suggested that the optical emission properties of the glass-ceramics A was responsible for the CA2 crystals. The glass-ceramics B were also prepared from a 51CaO・42Al(2)O(3)・7SiO(2) glass. The CA crystals were separately precipitated in the glass-ceramics B. In particular, a large amount of CA was successfully produced by stirring the UST suspension to prevent the sedimentation of the UST particles. The glass-ceramic B so-prepared showed strong photoluminescence but weak phosphorescence compared with other glass-ceramics B, indicating that the photoluminescence and phosphorescence were originated in different electron-trapping levels. The amount of the trap levels associated with the long lasting phosphorescence, such as oxygen vacancies, was probably small in the glass-ceramic B prepared with the stirring UST.

kn-abstract=Techniques of population estimation with acceptable limits of percision were investigated for the adult beetle of Tribolium castaneum. Two techniques were tested : direct counting of insects on sample units of known size and method of capture, marking, release and recapture.  About 1082 cm3 of whole-wheat flour together with 1095 adult beetles were placed into plastic cylindrical vessel, 21.5 cm in diameter and 12 cm in height. Each sample was taken filling 1.8 x 5 cm glass tube with flour together with beetles. The result of estimations in different sample sizes was shown in Table 1 . In the present study sample size calculated for 10 % admissible error was 54.  The capture-recapture method was employed : one hundred of beetles were marked on the elytra with white lacquer and released. The result of estimations in different numbers of marked beetles recaptured was shown in Table 2. To increase degree of precision, it was recommended to increase number of beetles marked rather than that recaptured.

The following are some of the results obtained: It was found that the mean value of the dry matter of these samples was 21.61 ± 4.90 per cent. The mean value of ammonia nitrogen content was 334.4 ± 170.5mg per cent. A significant negative correlation, γ=-0.615, was found between the pH value and the lactic acid content (p<0.001). Significant positive correlations were found between the pH value and the ammonia nitrogen content of the silages; and they are shown in the following table: The regression equation was y=11.27 x-33.43, where x=pH value and y=ammonia nitrogen in per cent. of total nitrogen. It was found that the ammonia nitrogen in per cent. of the total nitrogen was an important, if not the sole, criterion for deciding the quality of silage. The results of pH measurements with Toyoroshi pH-test paper were compared with those obtained with Iio's glass electrode pH-meter. The application of pH-test paper for the estimation of pH value of silage seems to give significantly lower values than that of the pH-meter (Difference 0.1 ; p<0.001). The results of estimation of moisture in silages by means of an oven-drying method were compared with those obtained with the distillation method. The results obtained by the former method were always higher than those by the latter method.
