To select cultivars to produce doubled haploids (DHs) efficiently in an anther culture, a total of 28 apple cultivars (25 cultivars and 3 rootstock cultivars) were investigated to assess their callus formation rate, embryo formation rate, shoot formation rate from embryo and efficiency of shoot multiplication and acclimatization. The callus formation rates of ‘Red Astrachan’, ‘Kinsei’, ‘Tsugaru’, ‘Golden Delicious’ (‘GD’), ‘American Summer Pearmain’ (‘ASP’), ‘Gala’, ‘Rome Beauty’, and ‘Jonathan’ were high, but ‘JM2’ and ‘King of Tompkins’ formed no callus. Regarding the embryo formation rates, ‘ASP’, ‘Rome Beauty’, ‘M.9’, and ‘Starking Delicious’ (‘SD’) were high, but ‘GD’, ‘JM2’, ‘King of Tompkins’, ‘Ralls Janet’, and ‘Smith’s Cider’ formed no embryo. Regarding the shoot formation rate from embryos, ‘Senshu’, ‘Tsugaru’, and ‘Sansa’ showed high values, but ‘Fuji’, ‘Jonathan’, and ‘Wijcik’ did not form shoots at all. The rate of shoot formation from anthers showed a high–low order of ‘Senshu’, ‘SD’, ‘ASP’, and ‘Tsugaru’. Multiplication and acclimatization of the shoots were not easy. Many individuals died. Eventually, only ‘Senshu’ and ‘SD’ acclimatized. Therefore, cultivars that produced DHs efficiently were ‘Senshu’ and ‘SD’. The results indicated that all processes of “embryo formation”, “shoot induction”, and “shoot multiplication and acclimatization” are important for obtaining DHs in apple anther cultures.

The musculature and functional anatomy of the head and skull of a tiger <i>Panthera tigris</i> were, examined and compared with those of various other felid species. The <i>Musculus masseter</i> is divided into three layers. The superficial layer of which is well-developed and further sub-divided into lateral and medial components. The ventro-caudal fleshy portion of the lateral component originates behind the last upper molar, where it is attached by a strong tendon to the tubercle <i>tuber maxillae</i>. The medial component, which runs dorso-ventrally, has a particularly well-developed fleshy portion. The present anatomical study suggests that in the tiger, large masseteric forces are produced in both ventro-rostral and ventro-dorsal directions. In the tiger, a process is present on the tubercle of the maxilla from which the strong tendon originates. This process is also apparent in the leopard <i>Panthera pardus</i>, the jaguar <i>P. onca</i> and the puma <i>Felis concolor</i>. It is not found, however, in either the domestic cat <i>F. catus</i> or the Iriomote wild cat <i>F. iriomotensis</i>. Comparisons between the skulls of various species of felidae indicate that whereas the puma, the leopard and the jaguar each possess the strong tendon, which bundles the ventro-caudal fleshy portion of the lateral component, the domestic cat and the Iriomote wild cat only possess weak tendons attaching to this component.

国際化する日本社会において、大学生の英語力育成の強化が求められている。それと同時に、思考の基盤となる日本語力の育成の重要性も認識されてきている。そのような動きを踏まえ、筆者の本務校では、英語教員と日本語教員(筆者)とが共同で、学生達に英語テストと日本語テストを実施し、その相関関係の調査研究を始めた。この調査を行うことにより、日本語力(母語力)が英語力向上にどのように影響しているかを明らかにし、英語教育と日本語教育の今後の課題を見出すことができると考えている。さらに、外国語習得力と母語力との関係性を明らかにすることは、日本語を母語としない人々に対する日本語教育の現場において、学習者の日本語力を、母語力と関係付けて捉えていくためにも役立つであろう。現在は、2015年9月に行った予備調査の結果の分析を行い、英語テスト・日本語テストの問題点を明らかにし、来年度の本調査に向けての準備を進めている。本稿では、予備調査の結果を示し、そこから明らかになった学生達の日本語力の問題点について考察した。It is widely said that English language competence of university students is vital for Japan inorder to earn the status of an internationalized country. At the same time, the importance of theirnative language competence as the fundament for creative thinking is emphasized. In an attempt toaddress these issues English and Japanese language tests were given to Toyo Gakuen Universitystudents, and the correlation between their English and Japanese competence was investigated withthe purpose of finding to what degree native Japanese competence influences the progress inacquiring English as a foreign language. The scope of this research includes identifying problems inboth English and Japanese language education and developing effective teaching strategies.The findings of this research also imply that native language (L1) competence should be takeninto consideration when teaching Japanese as a second language (JSL) to non-native students.In this paper, I analyze the results of the preliminary research conducted in September, 2015, andpoint out to the problems the surveyed students encountered in the language tests.75

Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) is a key factor in the development of chronic inflammation and is deeply involved in age-related and metabolic diseases development. These diseases have become a serious problem in cats. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is associated with aging and metabolism through maintaining inflammation via NF-κB. In addition, fibroblasts are considered an important factor in the development of chronic inflammation. Therefore, we aimed to examine the effect of cat SIRT1 (cSIRT1) on NF-κB in cat fibroblast cells. The up-regulation of NF-κB transcriptional activity and pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA expression by p65 subunit of NF-κB and lipopolysaccharide was suppressed by cSIRT1 in cat fibroblast cells. Our findings show that cSIRT1 is involved in the suppression of inflammation in cat fibroblast cells.

Photolyases (PHRs) are DNA repair enzymes that revert UV-induced photoproducts, either cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) or (6-4) photoproducts (PPs), into normal bases to maintain genetic integrity. (6-4) PHR must catalyze not only covalent bond cleavage, but also hydroxyl or amino group transfer, yielding a more complex mechanism than that postulated for CPD PHR. Previous mutation analysis revealed the importance of two histidines in the active center, H354 and H358 for Xenopus (6-4) PHR, whose mutations significantly lowered the enzymatic activity. Based upon highly sensitive FTIR analysis of the repair function, here we report that both H354A and H358A mutants of Xenopus (6-4) PHR still maintain their repair activity, although the efficiency is much lower than that of the wild type. Similar difference FTIR spectra between the wild type and mutant proteins suggest a common mechanism of repair in which (6-4) PP binds to the active center of each mutant, and is released after repair, as occurs in the wild type. Similar FTIR spectra also suggest that a decrease in volume by the H-to-A mutation is possibly compensated by the addition of water molecule(s). Such a modified environment is sufficient for the repair function that is probably controlled by proton-coupled electron transfer between the enzyme and substrate. On the other hand, two histidines must work in a concerted manner in the active center of the wild-type enzyme, which significantly raises the repair efficiency.

In recent years, the problem of interpersonal relationships has been reported to be associated with various adolescent psychiatric problems. Egocentrism is one factor related to the problem of interpersonal relationships. The Adolescent Egocentrism-Sociocentrism (AES) scale is used to assess egocentrism in Western countries, but no such scale has been developed in Japan.The purpose of our current study was to develop the Japanese version of the AES scale and investigate the relationship between the egocentrism assessed by the AES scale and the self-consciousness assessed by the Japanese version of the self-consciousness scale. The original version of the AES scale was first translated into Japanese using the forward-backward method and examined for factorial reliability and validity. The results demonstrated that the Japanese version of the AES scale shows adequate factorial reliability and validity, but different from the original version the “egocentrism personal fable” subscale which measures the feeling that oneself is special and unique was not extracted in the Japanese version. We found a moderate correlation between the non-social focuses of the AES scale and the public self-consciousness subscale of the self-consciousness scale. This correlation suggests that a strong attention of others’ view on oneself results in the avoidance of others.The Japanese version of the AES scale can examine egocentrism adequately together with sociocentrism and non-social focuses. As this scale is self-reporting and easy to complete, it may have practical utility in a clinical setting. J. Med. Invest. 55: 254-259, August, 2008

We collected all the data of gravity measurements carried out over the last 40 years by Institute Geofisico del Peru (IGP). Because of the long time since data collection, some of the information needed for data reduction were lost over the years. This loss made it difficult for us to determine all of the gravity values unambiguously and consistently from the presently available IGP data alone. Accordingly, there was a need for independently determined gravity stations to which the measurements done by IGP may be compared. In order to provide reference gravity values, we utilized Japanese survey data collected between 1980 and 1984, and conducted more surveys in various parts of Peru in the period between 1995 and 1998. These gravity stations number more than 800, and provide three or more reference points for each of the IGP survey routes. Using these references, the gravity values were calculated for the IGP dataset and Bouguer corrections were applied. Finally, a Bouguer anomaly map of Peru was produced based on these data. This paper reports all the procedures involved in the data reduction, discusses the reliability of the reduced data, and points out the main features of the Bouguer anomaly map.

The previously reported palladium-catalyzed silylation of aryl chlorides with silylsilatranes were theoretically reinvestigated by DFT calculations with a focus on the effect of the transannular Si–N coordination on silyl transfer. The Si–N coordination proved to be not so influential as to accelerate the silyl transfer. However, it should be of benefit to use silylsilatranes as silylating agents because of their easy handling and facile preparation.

Mild encephalitis/encephalopathy with a reversible splenial lesion (MERS) is a clinico-radiological syndrome with a very particular clinical course. Three patients with MERS were evaluated by various sequences of magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion tensor imaging. Initial diffusion-weighted imaging showed reduction in the apparent diffusion coefficient values in the lesions, which completely resolved with the elimination of symptoms. However, diffusion anisotropy of the lesions showed no remarkable abnormalities in the early or delayed phases. These results may indicate that white matter architecture is preserved in both early and delayed phases in MERS.

To facilitate the meaningful use of medical record and report, we propose a new concept that can enhance expressiveness of structured medical records and reports. A medical record or a report based on the proposed concept is composed of entries and links, while a conventional one is composed of predefined sections, such as “FINDINGS” and “IMPRESSION” or such as "Subjective", "Objective", "Assessment" and "Plan", containing narrative sentences, respectively. Each entry can be an image annotation or a unit of description such as findings of a lesion, a possible diagnosis, or a recommendation. Links express relationships between pairs of entries, such as causation and correspondence. Links are characteristic components of such a record or report, and play an important role to provide a perspective on it. The proposed concept was implemented in a prototype reporting system that can cooperate with a PACS viewer. Using the system, 27 radiologists interpreted 54 CT studies including 27 follow-up ones. After the interpretation, they responded to a questionnaire on the system. According to the response, most of the radiologists thought that the prototype system was superior to conventional ones in many aspects.We believe, the proposed concept will be implemented in many hospital information systems, then play a pivotal role in linking various kinds of medical data among different departments to facilitate big-data utilization.

Millimeter-wave (mmw) frequency bands, especially 60GHz unlicensed band, are considered as a promising solution for gigabit short range wireless communication systems. IEEE standard 802.11ad, also known as WiGig, is standardized for the usage of the 60GHz unlicensed band for wireless local area networks (WLANs). By using this mmw WLAN, multi-Gbps rate can be achieved to support bandwidth-intensive multimedia applications. Exhaustive search along with beamforming (BF) is usually used to overcome 60GHz channel propagation loss and accomplish data transmissions in such mmw WLANs. Because of its short range transmission with a high susceptibility to path blocking, multiple number of mmw access points (APs) should be used to fully cover a typical target environment for future high capacity multi-Gbps WLANs. Therefore, coordination among mmw APs is highly needed to overcome packet collisions resulting from un-coordinated exhaustive search BF and to increase total capacity of mmw WLANs. In this paper, we firstly give the current status of mmw WLANs with our developed WiGig AP prototype. Then, we highlight the great need for coordinated transmissions among mmw APs as a key enabler for future high capacity mmw WLANs. Two different types of coordinated mmw WLAN architecture are introduced. One is distributed antenna type architecture to realize centralized coordination, while the other is autonomous coordination with the assistance of legacy Wi-Fi signaling. Moreover, two heterogeneous network (HetNet) architectures are also introduced to efficiently extend the coordinated mmw WLANs to be used for future 5th Generation (5G) cellular networks.

Menopausal symptoms, bone loss, changes in lipid profiles and reduction of insulin sensitivity due to an abrupt decrease in circulating estrogen level are well known in women during the menopausal transition. On the other hand, the effect of androgen on women’s health has not been fully elucidated. Circulating levels of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) gradually decrease with age in postmenopausal women, although transient increases have been observed during the menopausal transition. High testosterone level has been suggested to be associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, increased triglyceride, insulin resistance and increase in the risk of developing breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Circulating DHEA-S level does not affect the risk of cardiovascular disease, mortality or lipid profiles in women. Female androgen insufficiency, which is characterized by the presence of reduced androgen level in circulation, leads to an impairment in sexual drive, reduced libido, depressed mood, and signs and symptoms of limited androgen exposure such as decreased muscle mass, reduced bone density and decreased sense of well-being. An appropriate level of androgen may play important roles in metabolic, psychological and sexual functions in women. In addition, the roles of testosterone and DHEA-S in women’s health may be different. J. Med. Invest. 59: 12-27, February, 2012
