| Title Alternative | A case study on the cyclone activity around Europe from winter to spring of 2000 |

| Abstract | Although the extratropical cyclone is one of the basic systems that characterize the weather and climate in mid-latitude regions with the large meridional temperature gradient, its activity and characteristics would be greatly influenced by the seasonal transition and regional differences of the mean atmospheric fields such as between Europe and East Asia. Furthermore, detailed knowledge of the daily cyclone activity would help to understand deeply the differences of regional climatology including seasonal cycles among various areas. In such interest, the present study performed a case study on the cyclone activity around Europe from winter to spring of 2000. In winter, intraseasonal variation of the Icelandic Low was dominant. In the stage when such intraseasonal-scale Icelandic Low approached to the northwestern Europe, the several lows passed eastward with a few days interval around the intraseasonal-scale low pressure area or its southern edge where the baroclinicity was relatively strong. It is also noted that their center pressure was rather low (below 980hPa). After April, when the seasonal mean Icelandic low had disappeared, different types of the intra-seasonal-scale cyclones and anticyclones were dominantly observed. In the lower SLP stage of the intraseasonal variation in Europe, the low to the southwest of England in the middle of April was of the equivalent barotropic structure and persisted for about ten days. On the other hand, high pressure area extending from England to the northern coast of Germany also persisted for about half month. The southern half of that high area was also of equivalent barotropic structure with warmer air there. |

| Abstract | Around April, total precipitation in southern Kyushu already attains rather large value due to the increase in contribution of the “heavy rainfall days” (with daily precipitation more the 50 mm/day, referred to as HRD). The present study examined the rainfall features and atmospheric conditions on the HRDs at Kagoshima in southern Kyushu, based on the operational observation data from 1990 to 2009. The HRDs there in April appeared mainly associated with the extratropical cyclone passage, together with tentative appearance of the stationary front. The mean daily precipitation on the HRDs was 82 mm and contribution of the intense rainfall more than 10 mm/h attained up to 38 mm, which accounted for 46 % of the daily total precipitation. In April, the high specific humidity area in the time mean field was still located far to the south of the Japan Islands and the stratification around the Japan Islands was very stable for deep moist convection. However, the zone with rather strong seasonal mean baroclinicity extended to rather southern area near 20°N. This would provide a favorable condition for the long-distance moistur |

| Abstract | Analyzing of sedimentary facies and structure together with regional field mapping were studied in the mélange unit, upper Cretaceous Shimanto Belt, Wakayama Pref., SW Japan. The field survey was concentrated in the coast of Shiofuki-iwa, Miyama Complex, Hidakagawa Belt where soft deformations penetrate throughout the mélange unit. Brittle to ductile faults associated as later deformations are excluded. The mélange unit is subdivided into the Y-shear zone (YSZ) and P-foliation zone (PFZ). The YSZ is composed of thick lenticular sandstone (trends subparallel to the direction of the mélange), intense shear band (thin layer with concentrated prelithification shear deformation) and mudstone dominant mélange. The PFZ is composed of mudstone dominant mélange (associated with foliations which slightly oblique to the direction of the YSZ) and lenticular sandstone (slightly oblique to the direction of the YSZ). The intense shear band separates the YSZ and PFZ. Preserved radiolarian fossils free from deformation in the intense shear band is the evidence of the prelithification shear deformation in the mélange. A remarkable-fact is that the structures of mélange unit are formed under sinistral sense of shear. The mélange unit in the Shiofuki-iwa is ascribed to be formed by sinistral sense of shear during sediments were prelithified. |

| Abstract | A 38-year-old woman with a 2.7-cm left ureteral stenosis requiring chronic ureteral stent exchange elected to undergo robotic renal autotransplantation. Left ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) was also suspected. Robotic donor nephrectomy contributed to the fine dissection for desmoplastic changes. The kidney was removed through a Gelport and examined on ice. UPJO was not seen. An end-to-side robotic anastomosis was created between the renal and external iliac vessels. The console time was 507 min, and the warm ischemia time was 4 min 5 sec. She became stent-free. Robotic renal autotransplantation is a new, minimally invasive approach to renal preservation. |

| Abstract | Osteoradionecrosis (ORN), a well-known complication of radiotherapy in the mandibular bone, is very rare in the cervical spine. The authors report the result of a 3-year follow-up of a 63-year-old female patient with ORN of the cervical spine. The patient had a history of laryngeal carcinoma and was treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy with a total of 120 Gy. Eight years later, she developed acute, severe neck pain due to cervical spine necrosis. The authors performed vascularized fibular bone graft and posterior pedicle screw fixation to reconstruct her cervical spine. The patient was successfully treated with surgery, and cervical alignment was preserved. She had neither neurological deficits nor severe neck pain at her final follow-up 3 years later. Delaying treatment of ORN may be life threatening, so the early diagnosis of this condition is important for patients who receive radiotherapy. Otolaryngologists and spine surgeons should understand this potential complication to speed diagnosis and treatment as early as possible. |

| Abstract | We report a case of a woman with typical dermatomyositis (DM) with skin manifestations, severe myalgia and muscle weakness complicated by interstitial lung disease (ILD) and pneumomediastinum. Pneumomediastinum persisted despite treatment with immunosuppressive therapy (steroids and cyclosporine). After the test for anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody came out positive, we doubled the cyclosporine dose and her condition improved. Despite typical clinical features of DM, in cases complicated by pneumomediastinum or steroid resistance, measurement of anti-MDA5 antibody may be useful for immunosuppressant dose titration. |

| Abstract | This retrospective study evaluated the short- and long-term outcomes after surgical management for gastric cancer in hemodialysis patients compared to non-dialysis patients. Twelve hemodialysis patients were compared with a propensity score-matched cohort of 39 gastric cancer patients who had not undergone hemodialysis. Short- and long-term outcomes along with scores estimating physiological ability and surgical stress were evaluated in both groups. The incidence of postoperative morbidity according to the Clavien-Dindo classification was higher in the hemodialysis gastric cancer group than in the non-dialysis gastric cancer group. The 5-year overall survival rate in the non-dialysis group was 69.2% after surgical resection for gastric cancer and 22.2% in the hemodialysis group. Patients with preoperative risk scores≥0.48 had significantly poorer survival outcomes compared to those with preoperative risk scores<0.48 (5-year survival rate, 83.3% vs. 39.4%, respectively). Our analyses suggest that hemodialysis patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer have a significantly poorer postoperative prognosis and an elevated risk of postoperative complications. |

| Abstract | We conducted a survey of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency among newborn babies at Tu Du Hospital, Ho Chi Minh, southern Vietnam. A total of 90 deficient babies were detected, including 85 in the Kinh ethnic group, 4 Chinese, and 1 in the K’Ho minority group. In the Kinh ethnic group, G6PD variants such as G6PD Viangchan (n=32), Kaiping (n=11), Canton (n=8), Chinese-5 (n=7), Union (n=5) and Quing Yuan (n=4) were detected. A variant with silent mutations at 1311 C>T and IVS11 nt 93 T>C was also detected in 17 cases. A novel mutation (173 A>G) in exon 4 with a predicted amino acid change of 58 Asp>Gly was also found in a Kinh newborn girl and her father, and it was designated as G6PD Ho Chi Minh. These findings demonstrated that the Kinh ethnic group in southern Vietnam has 8 different G6PD variants, indicating that the members of this group have many ancestors in terms of G6PD variants from Southeast Asia, China, and Oceania. We compared the frequency distribution of G6PD variants in the Kinh population with those of other Southeast Asian populations, and the Kinh population’s distribution was quite similar to that in the Thai population, but differed from it by the absence of G6PD Mahidol. |

| Abstract | We retrospectively reviewed 29 hips in which intertrochanteric osteotomies were performed for severe slipped capital femoral epiphyses. Mean age at surgery: 12.6 years. Mean follow-up period: 6 years. At the final follow-up evaluation, one patient had coxalgia, and six hips showed a limited range of motion. A pistol-grip deformity was observed in 13 hips, osteoarthritis in two hips, and a bump existed in 19 hips on the latest radiographs. Gradual remodeling of the bumps was observed post-operatively in 22 hips. The mean α and β angles and offset α and β improved over time. The remodeling proceeded rapidly for 1 year post-surgery. We compared hips classified as β angles of ≥ 63° to < 63° at the final follow-up evaluation, the mean β angle 1 year post-surgery, and the mean ratio of improvement of the β angle per year from 1 year post-surgery to the final follow up, which differed significantly. Nearly all of the patients who underwent intertrochanteric osteotomies had residual morphologic abnormalities, but few had clinical symptoms. The β angle 1 year post-surgery and the ratio of remodeling of the bump from 1 year post-surgery to the final follow-up can be regarded as a potential predictor of morphologic results after intertrochanteric osteotomy. |

| Abstract | We investigated the link between proteinuria and psychological distress among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 130 patients with T2DM aged 69.1±10.3 years were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Urine and blood parameters, age, height, body weight, and medications were analyzed, and each patient’s psychological distress was measured using the six-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6). We compared the K6 scores between the patients with and without proteinuria. Forty-two patients (32.3%) had proteinuria (≥±) and the level of HbA1c was 7.5±1.3%. The K6 scores of the patients with proteinuria were significantly higher than those of the patients without proteinuria even after adjusting for age and sex. The clinical impact of proteinuria rather than age, sex and HbA1c was demonstrated by a multiple regression analysis. Proteinuria was closely associated with higher psychological distress. Preventing and improving proteinuria may reduce psychological distress in patients with T2DM. |

| Abstract | Two-stage revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is the most commonly used treatment approach for deep prosthetic infection. However, in this approach the interval between the first and second stage tends to be prolonged. We devised a strategic protocol for improving the infection eradication rate and shortening the interval between the stages in two-stage revision THA. This study analyzed a series of 14 patients (14 hips) from 2008 to 2012, who were treated using an antibiotic-loaded acrylic cement (ALAC) spacer at the first stage and re-implantation at the second stage. The ALAC included vancomycin and amikacin for most of the cases. Patients with MRSA infection were additionally administered intravenous vancomycin in combination with either oral rifampicin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. The average interval between the stages was 54.2 days overall, and 58.7 days for cases with MRSA infection. Our infection eradication rate was 100%, with no reported recurrence of infection. The presence of MRSA tended to be associated with a longer interval between the two stages. Our protocol for two-stage revision THA was associated with a high eradication rate of infection and a shortened interval between the stages. |

| Abstract | The effect of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) on the outcomes of sorafenib treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has not been established. We measured the SMM in HCC patients treated with sorafenib, evaluated the patients’ survival, and evaluated the association between skeletal muscle depletion and sorafenib treatment. Of the 97 HCC patients treated with sorafenib at our institution in the period from July 2009 to February 2015, our study included 69 patients (51 males, 18 females) who had received sorafenib for ≥ 8 weeks and whose follow-up data were available. SMM was calculated from computed tomography images at the mid-L3 level (cm2) and normalized to height (m2) to yield the L3 skeletal muscle index (L3-SMI, cm2/m2). The median L3-SMI value was higher in the males (43 cm2/m2) compared to the females (36 cm2/m2). In the males only, the multivariate Cox regression identified an L3-SMI <43 cm2/m2 as independently associated with higher mortality compared to an L3-SMI ≥43 cm2/m2 (hazard ratio 2.315, 95% confidence interval: 1.125-4.765, p=0.023). Skeletal muscle depletion is a factor predicting poor prognosis for male patients with advanced HCC treated with sorafenib. |
