An 84-year-old Japanese woman presented with left hemiplegia 8 months after completing chemotherapy for mantle cell lymphoma. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a hyperintense lesion extending from the right parietal lobe to the left parietal lobe. Compared with these MRI results, 18F-THK5351 PET revealed more extensive accumulation. A brain biopsy showed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Immunohistochemistry and John Cunningham virus (JCV) DNA-polymerase chain reaction indicated JCV infection. Therefore, a diagnosis of PML was made. 18F-THK5351 PET, indicative of activated astrocytes, clearly depicted PML lesions composed of reactive and atypical astrocytes. 18F-THK5351 PET may capture fresh progressive PML lesions better than MRI.

This paper describes the development of a robot simulator for remote decommissioning tasks using remotely operated robots at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station of the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings. The robot simulator was developed to provide a remote operation training environment to ensure operator proficiency. The developed simulator allows for the calculation of physical aspects, such as the hydrodynamics of a remotely operated vehicle and the aerodynamics of an unmanned aerial vehicle. A disturbed camera view presented to an operator can be generated by setting parameters such as transparency, color, distortion, and noise. We implemented a communication failure emulator on the simulator in addition to functionalities for calculating the integral dose and generating the gamma camera image. We discuss the functional requirements and introduce the implemented functionalities. The simulator was built using the developed functions and can be executed integrally.

This study analyzes and evaluates four transmission characteristics of the capacitive power transfer (CPT) with resonance coupling. A constant voltage source is used under all conditions. The target compensation topologies for the investigation are series-series (SS), series-parallel (SP), parallel-series (PS) and parallel-parallel (PP) topologies. The analysis results under the unified conditions describe the five transmission characteristics: (a) the equivalent maximum efficiency in four topologies, (b) the squared lower output power of the coupling coefficient of PS and PP topologies compared with those of SS and SP topologies, (c) the squared lower optimal loads of the coupling coefficient of SS and PS topologies compared with those of SP and PP topologies, (d) the constant unit power factor (CUPF) characteristics from the source in four topologies, (e) the constant current (CC) characteristics in SS and PP topologies, and the constant voltage (CV) characteristics in SP and PS topologies at the load variation around the optimal load. From these evaluations, both SS and SP topologies, which are superior in terms of the output power, are recommended when using the voltage source. Finally, the powering experiment in SS and SP topologies shows the effectiveness of these evaluations.

Cinnamtannin A2, an (−)-epicatechin tetramer, was reported to have potent physiological activity. Cinnamtannin A2 is rarely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract into the blood and the mechanisms of its beneficial activities are unknown. Cinnamtannin A2 reported to increase sympathetic nervous activity, which was induced by various stressors. In present study, we examined the stress response in the mouse paraventricular nucleus following a single oral dose of cinnamtannin A2 by monitoring mRNA expression of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and c-fos using in situ hybridization. Corticotropin-releasing hormone mRNA showed a tendency to increase at 15 min and significantly increased at 60 min following a single oral administration of 100 µg/kg cinnamtannin A2. After a single dose of 10 µg/kg cinnamtannin A2, there was significant upregulation of CRH mRNA at 60 min. These results suggested that cinnamtannin A2 was recognized as a stressor in central nervous system and this may lead to its beneficial effects on circulation and metabolism.
