A number of 1,598 kidney transplants including 1,471 from living donors, 42 from non-heart-beating donors and 85 from heart-beating donors were performed in 2014 in Japan. The data obtained from the Japanese Renal Transplant Registry are shown and analyzed in this annual report. The characteristics of recipients and donors such as relationships, original diseases, duration of dialysis therapy, blood transfusion, the status of viral antigens and antibodies, pretransplant complications, the causes of death of deceased donors, ischemic time and the histocompatibilities are described. In addition, immunosuppressants used initially and other treatments are analyzed. We also reported the results of follow-up survey for living donors.

A 36-year-old Japanese woman with intestinal Behcet's disease was admitted to our hospital due to a recurrent ileocecal ulcer. Because infliximab (IFX) showed secondary failure, IFX was switched to adalimumab (ADA). After the third injection of ADA, she was unexpectedly 4-weeks pregnant. ADA was continued until 20 gestational weeks. Remission of the disease activity was maintained during pregnancy, and the birth was uneventful. The ileocecal ulcer disappeared after her delivery. ADA was detected in the umbilical blood after 119 days from the last infusion. The placental transition and timing of neonatal vaccination should be considered in cases of pregnancy with TNF antibody therapy.

This paper proposes a tag identification protocol built upon Boolean compressed sensing (CS) for radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. Unlike the conventional CS-based tag identification (CS-ID) protocol, the proposed protocol can cope with flat fading channels without explicit channel estimation. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme requires less amount of bits for successful identification than dynamic framed slotted ALOHA (DFSA) protocol, and that it even outperforms the conventional CS-ID protocol with perfect channel information.

In winter, many people have trouble with chilliness in their arms and legs. Many women are especially sensitive to cold, and for them the chilliness of the hands and the feet is difficult to ease even after entering a warm room, or taking a bath. They even feel pain owing to coldness of their limbs in daily life. This symptom has been called “hiesho” in Japanese.The problem of this chilliness is difficult to study because this symptom, in general, can be cured when spring comes. Coldness of the limbs has been considered to be one of the symptoms of the climacteric disturbance among middle-aged females.Recently, however, it was reported that many young females also feel pain owing to coldness of the hands and legs in their daily life during winter.This study investigates the problems of chilliness in the limbs of young females in their daily life. By means of a questionnaire, 642 female college students aged from 18 to 20 years answered questions concerning: (1) physical characteristics, (2) physical conditions in their daily life, (3) physical conditions in winter, and (4) physical conditions in summer. The replies to the questionnaires were tested using the χ2 test.The major results were as follows:1. Half of the subjects were sensitive to cold, and had difficulty sleeping owing to chilliness of their limbs in winter even in a warm environment.For the following results the subjects who were sensitive to cold had significant differences (p<0.05) compared to non-sensitive subjects to cold.2. Those subjects who were aware of chilliness in their limbs had high prevalence rates for irregularities in circadian body rhythm, as well as some symptoms such as white fingers phenomenon, numbness of their limbs, and stiffness in their hands.3. The subjects who were aware of chilliness in their limbs were very sensitive to cold in winter, and had female family members who had the same troubles with chilliness in the arms and the legs, too.4. The subjects who were aware of chilliness in their limbs were sensitive to cold even in summer, and had difficulty sleeping owing to chilliness of the limbs.

Pearl Jumeira is an artificial offshore land formation located in Jumeira Beach in the Arabian Gulf and is constructed from Dubai-sourced reclaimed sand and locally sourced rockworks. Reclaimed sand was dredged from known borrow pits in Dubai waters. The island will cover approximately 8.3 million square feet of land (fully serviced with all infrastructure requirements) consisting of more than 3.0 million square feet of residential villa plots and over 90,000 square feet of retail, community, and educational facilities. The current paper presents a geotechnical case study on this reclaimed island in terms of: The geotechnical design, the construction stages, and the ground investigation results. In the geotechnical design stage, soil properties of the reclaimed land were investigated to achieve the design bearing capacity and to assess the risk of liquefaction. In the geotechnical construction stage, soil improvement technologies such as vibro compaction and surface compaction were used. In the soil investigation stage, a set of soil tests were conducted in order to achieve the geotechnical design. These tests include Standard Penetration Test (SPT), Unconfined Compressive Strength Test (UCS), Piezocone Penetration Tests (CPTU), Zone Load Test, Particle Size Distribution (Sieve Analysis), etc.... The thickness of the reclamation fill varies across the site but is typically in the order of 10 m to 15 m and consists primarily of clean sand with lenses of silty materials. The materials below the pre-reclamation seabed comprise of layers of sand and silty materials of varying thicknesses, underlain by the Calcisiltite/Calcarenite bedrock between -10 m and -15 m Dubai Municipality Datum (DMD).

Transport of water into cells is mediated by plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) families of aquaporin, which are involved in petal cell expansion during flower opening. In this study, we performed comprehensive characterization of aquaporin family genes and analyzed the expression of PIP genes in petals of opening flowers to examine the role of PIPs in flower opening in the carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.). A database search of the genome sequence revealed the existence of 26 aquaporin genes with 8 members of the PIP subfamily in the carnation ‘Francesco’. The expression of all the PIP genes was validated by the existence of expressed sequence tags, and expression analysis by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR showed that DcPIP2;1 and DcPIP1;1 are the two major PIP isoforms expressed in petals of the ‘Pure Red’ carnation. The transcripts of these two genes were also detected abundantly in other floral tissues including the calyx, style, receptacle, and ovary, as well as stems and leaves. The expression of DcPIP2;1 and DcPIP1;1 in petals was maintained at a high level throughout the flower opening process. These data suggest a putative role of these PIPs in petal growth for flower opening.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant heritable disorder of connective tissue that affects the cardiovascular, skeletal, ocular, pulmonary, and nervous systems and is usually caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene, which encodes fibrillin-1. MFS is traditionally considered to result from the structural weakness of connective tissue. However, recent investigations on molecular mechanisms indicate that increased transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) activity plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of MFS and related disorders, such as Loeys–Dietz syndrome (LDS), which is caused by mutation in TGF-β signaling-related genes. In addition, recent studies show that angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) signaling enhances cardiovascular pathologies in MFS, and the angiotensin II receptor blocker losartan has the potential to inhibit aortic aneurysm formation. However, the relationship between TGF-β and AT1R signaling pathways remains poorly characterized. In this review, we discuss the recent studies on the molecular mechanisms underlying cardiovascular manifestations of MFS and LDS and the ensuing strategies for management.

Akagi volcano situated in the North Kanto district of central Japan is a Quaternary volcano. The eruptive history of this volcano during the last 200, 000 years is clarified by the tephrochronological study.The plinian pumice fall deposits derived from Akagi volcano are as follows in ascending order; the Moka Pumice (MoP), Akagi-Mizunuma Pumice-16. …-12, -10…-1 (MzP-16…-12, -10…-1), Namekawa Pumice-2, -1 (Nm-2, -1), Yunokuchi Pumice (UP) and Kanuma Pumice (KP) (Fig. 1). Stratigraphy, distributions and petrographic characteristics of these tephras are described (Figs. 5, 6, 8, 9 and Tables 1, 3).The MoP pumice fall deposit covering the most part of the eastern part of the North Kanto district, erupted in the penultimate glacial stage preceding the Last Interglacial Stage. Moreover, the stratigraphic relations of the MzP-10…-1, Nm-2, -1 and UP with the well dated widespread tephras, which are the K1P-7 (ca. 130 ka), DPm, On-Pm I (ca. 80 ka), K-Tz (ca. 75-80 ka), Aso-4 (ca.. 70 ka) and DKP (ca. 45-48 ka), are clarified (Fig. 7). These data can give the chronological framework for the eruptive history.The MzP series, Nm-2, Nm-1 and UP erupted during the stage called the younger stratovolcano (YS) of the Akagi volcano in previous work (Fig. 10). The total volume of the plinian pumice fall deposits from the MzP-10 to the UP amounts to 28 km3. This corresponds to the discharge rate of the pumice equivalent to 0.33 km3/1, 000 years and the frequency of the plinian eruption 0.15/1, 000 years.Before the formation of the central cone, it occurred the most eruptive episode of Akagi volcano. This is represented by the members : the KP pumice fall deposit (ca. 31-32 ka) and the Mizunuma lithic (chert lapilli) fall deposit (CLP). The volume of the KP deposit which amounts to 25 km3, is the largest volume of the plinian pumice fall deposits derived from Akagi volcano.

Herein, we applied hypericin (Hyp) for the detection of DNA on streptavidin-functionalized magnetic beads (SA-MB) through non-covalent π-π stacking interaction between 1-pyrenebutanoic acid (PBA) and Hyp. Briefly, the target DNA (tDNA) was hybridized to morpholino oligonucleotide (MO) that was immobilized on the surface of SA-MB. PBA was incorporated to the backbone of tDNA by means of phosphate-zirconium-carboxylate coordination reaction. Then, fluorescent Hyp was linked to PBA via π-π stacking interaction. Under the optimal conditions, this biosensor displayed a good linear relationship between the fluorescence intensity and the tDNA concentrations in the range from 1 to 100 nM with a low detection limit of 2.9 nM. The mismatch type in a specific DNA sequence can also be efficiently discriminated. Compared with some other reports, this method is more convenient, and has great potential for practical applications.

わが国の明治以降の急速な近代化について考えたとき、鉄道はその比類なき輸送力において、経済成長の最大の原動力となったと言ってもよかろう。本研究は鉄道網形成が、実際にどれほどの効用を個人に与えたか、またどれほどGNPに寄与したかを貨幣タームで測定するための理論モデルの作成と、その適用結果について述べたものである。このため、個人は効用最大化行動、企業は利澗最大化行動をとるとの仮定のもとで、簡単なモデルを作成する。そして、鉄道路線長がL0からL1へ、旅客運賃がrp0からrp1へ、貨物運賃がrf0からrf1へ、変化した場合の代表的 (平均的) 個人の効用の変化を測定する。このとき、効用の変化を貨幣タームで測定するために等価的偏差 (Equivalent Variation以下、EVと呼ぶ) の概念を導入する。ここにEVとは、鉄道網整備というサービスをあきらめるために補償してもらいたいと考える必要最低額を言う。本研究では、さらにEVを福祉効果と所得の増大効果とに分け、それぞれについて計算を行う。実際の明治29年における計算の結果は、福祉効果が5億3千万円で、これは当時のGNP28億円の2割弱である。これより、個人は鉄道サービスによりかなり大きな満足を得たと推定できる。さらに所得の増大効果について言えば5億2千万円であり、これもGNPの2割弱である。GNPに対する直接の影響も大きなものであったと言えよう。

This paper presents an open domain monologue generation method for non-task-oriented dialogue systems to be able to speak their opinions and impressions as a speaker. To generate monologues, we acquire suitable utterances that contain a given topic from Twitter. Our method determines whether utterances have cohesion or not using the support vector machine and concatenate them in a row. It scores the utterance sequences from the aspect of their humor, unexpectedness and speciality in the given topic. We acquire the utterance sequences that ranks high as monologues. Results of an experiment demonstrate that our method can generate amusing and semantically appropriate monologues.
