    Abstract Neuronal differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) is greatly promoted by valproic acid (VPA) with cAMP elevating agents thorough NO signaling pathways, but its mechanism is not fully understood. In the present study, we investigate the involvement of protein S-nitrosylation in the VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation of ASCs. The whole amount of S-nitrosylated protein was increased by the treatment with VPA alone for three days in ASCs. An inhibitor of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), auranofin, further increased the amount of S-nitrosylated protein and enhances the VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation in ASCs. On the contrary, another inhibitor of TrxR, dinitrochlorobenzene, inhibited the VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation in ASCs even with cAMP elevating agents, which was accompanied by unexpectedly decreased S-nitrosylated protein. It was considered from these results that increased protein S-nitrosylation is involved in VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation of ASCs. By the proteomic analysis of S-nitrosylated protein in VPA-treated ASCs, no identified proteins could be specifically related to VPA-promoted neuronal differentiation. The identified proteins, however, included those involved in the metabolism of substances regulating neuronal differentiation, such as aspartate and glutamate.

    Abstract Global lockdown measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) led to air pollutant emission reductions. While the COVID-19 lockdown impacts on both trace gas and total particulate pollutants have been widely investigated, secondary aerosol formation from trace gases remains unclear. To that end, we quantify the COVID-19 lockdown impacts on NO

    Abstract The fungus Wickerhamiella pararugosa (Candida pararugosa) has been detected in various human organs but has rarely caused bloodstream infections. This report presents a case of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) of W. pararugosa in an adult. A female patient in her 80s was admitted to our facility for intestinal obstruction caused by colorectal cancer. The patient's ability to consume food was hindered, necessitating the insertion of a central venous catheter (CVC) into the internal jugular vein. On day 3 after admission, the patient developed a fever, prompting blood and CVC tip cultures to be performed. On day 5, yeast-like fungi were discovered in the blood cultures, and fosfluconazole (fluconazole [FLCZ] pro-drug) treatment was initiated. On day 8, yeast-like fungi were identified in both the blood and CVC tip cultures, leading to a diagnosis of CRBSI. The fungus was identified as W. pararugosa through biochemical and genetic characterization. This finding justified the use of micafungin (MCFG) for combination therapy. On day 17, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for FLCZ and MCFG were 4-8 and 0.06 μg/mL, respectively. Accordingly, the treatment was changed to monotherapy with MCFG. After a 21-day treatment regimen, the patient was discharged on day 31. We present a case of CRBSI caused by W. pararugosa in an adult with intestinal obstruction. The notable increase in the MIC of FLCZ necessitated monotherapy with MCFG, which resulted in successful recovery of the patient.

    Abstract We investigate a possible relation between frustration and phase-transition points in two-dimensional spin glasses at zero temperature. The relation consists of a condition on the average number of frustrated plaquettes and was reported to provide very good predictions for the critical points at zero temperature, for several two-dimensional lattices. Although there has been no proof of the relation, the good correspondence in several lattices suggests the validity of the relation and an important role of frustration in the phase transitions. To examine the relation further, we present a natural extension of the relation to diluted lattices and verify its effectiveness for bond-diluted square lattices. We then confirm that the resulting points are in good agreement with the phase-transition points in a wide range of dilution rate. Our result supports the suggestion from R. Miyazaki [J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 82, 094001 (2013)JUPSAU0031-901510.7566/JPSJ.82.094001] for nondiluted lattices on the importance of frustration to the phase transition of two-dimensional spin glasses at zero temperature.

    Spatiotemporal variability of peroxy acyl nitrates (PANs) over Mexico City from TES and CrIS satellite measurements

    Abstract Peroxy acyl nitrates (PANs) are photochemical pollutants with implications for health and atmospheric oxidation capacity. PANs are formed via the oxidation of non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs) in the presence of nitrogen oxide radicals (NO x = NO + NO 2 ). While urban environments are large sources of PANs, in situ observations in urban areas are limited. Here we use satellite measurements of PANs from the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) and the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) to evaluate the spatiotemporal variability of PANs over and around Mexico City. Monthly mean maxima in PANs over the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA) occur during spring months (March–May). This time of year coincides with a peak in local photochemistry and more frequent air stagnation. Local fire activity also typically peaks between February and May, which leads to strong interannual variability of PANs over the MCMA. We use S-NPP CrIS data to probe the spatial outflow pattern of PANs produced within urban Mexico City during the month with the largest mixing ratios of PANs (April). Peak outflow in April occurs to the northeast of the city and over the mountains south of the city. Outflow to the northwest appears infrequently. Using observations during 2018 versus 2019, we also show that PANs were not significantly reduced during a year, with a significant decrease in NO x over Mexico City. Our analysis demonstrates that the space-based observations provided by CrIS and TES can increase understanding of the spatiotemporal variability of PANs over and surrounding Mexico City.

    Abstract Secondary central nervous system involvement (sCNSi) in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is fatal. However, its features in patients with sCNSi who are categorized as lower risk by international prognostic index (IPI) or CNS-IPI are not yet fully understood. In the present analysis, we evaluated DLBCL patients who developed sCNSi at their first progression and who participated in JCOG0601, most of whom were lower risk by IPI. Of 409 patients, 21 (5.1%) developed sCNSi during a median follow-up of 4.9 years. Five-year cumulative incidence of sCNSi were 5.1%; and 4.0%, 5.3%, and 11.5% at low, intermediate, and high risk of CNS-IPI, respectively. The most common locations of extranodal lesions at the time of registration in patients with sCNSi were the stomach (n = 4), paranasal cavity (n = 3), and bone marrow (n = 2). In univariable analysis, paranasal cavity lesion was a high-risk factor for sCNSi (subdistribution hazard ratio, 4.34 [95% confidence interval 1.28-14.73]). Median overall survival after sCNSi was 1.3 years, with a 2-year overall survival rate of 39.3%. The incidence of sCNSi in DLBCL patients at lower risk of CNS-IPI was low, as previously reported, but paranasal cavity lesion might indicate high risk for organ involvement. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: JCOG0601 was registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000000929, date of registration; December 04, 2007) and the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs031180139, date of registration; February 20, 2019).

    Abstract Over the past two decades, satellite instruments have provided unprecedented information on global air quality, and yet the remote sensing of surface ozone remains elusive. Here we propose a new method to infer spatial variability in surface ozone by combining multispectral ozone retrievals using radiances from the tropospheric emission spectrometer thermal infrared instrument and the ozone monitoring instrument ultratraviolet/visible instrument with a chemical reanalysis. We find that our inferred surface ozone in summertime China and the United States has regional biases of less than 4 ppb and a high spatial correlation when validated against independent surface measurements. Over the broader Asia region, our analysis results in a spatial pattern of summertime surface ozone that can largely be explained by a combination of the Asian monsoon circulation and ${\textrm{NO}}_x$ emissions. Our results show the potential of combining satellite measurements and chemical reanalyses to provide critical air quality information in regions of limited surface networks, thereby enhancing the global air quality observing system.
