    Abstract Oxytocin (OT), a hypothalamic neuropeptide that acts as a neuromodulator in the brain, orchestrates a variety of animal behaviors. However, the relationship between brain OT dynamics and complex animal behaviors remains largely elusive, partly because of the lack of a suitable technique for its real-time recording in vivo. Here, we describe MTRIA

    Abstract Facial expressions are widely recognized as universal indicators of underlying internal states in most species of animals, thereby presenting as a non-invasive measure for assessing physical and mental conditions. Despite the advancement of artificial intelligence-assisted tools for automated analysis of voluminous facial expression data in human subjects, the corresponding tools for mice still remain limited so far. Considering that mice are the most prevalent model animals for studying human health and diseases, a comprehensive characterization of emotion-dependent patterns of facial expressions in mice could extend our knowledge on the basis of emotions and the related disorders. Here, we present a framework for the development of a deep learning-powered tool for classifying facial expressions in head-fixed mouse. We demonstrate that our machine vision was capable of accurately classifying three different emotional states from lateral facial images in head-fixed mouse. Moreover, we objectively determined how our classifier characterized the differences among the facial images through the use of an interpretation technique called Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping. Importantly, our machine vision presumably discerned the data by leveraging multiple facial features. Our approach is likely to facilitate the non-invasive decoding of a variety of emotions from facial images in head-fixed mice.

    Abstract Background: Downfolding of the epiglottis into the laryngeal inlet is considered to be a rare complication of tracheal intubation. We describe a case of epiglottic downfolding during tracheal intubation using a McGrath videolaryngoscope (McGRATH
    Case presentation: A 44-year-old female was scheduled for breast reconstruction surgery. Intubation was performed using a McGrath videolaryngoscope. After intubation, videolaryngoscopy revealed that the epiglottis was inverted and folded down into the laryngeal inlet. We elevated the larynx anteriorly using the McGrath videolaryngoscope, enabling the downfolded epiglottis to be pulled out from the laryngeal inlet and restored to its original position. After surgery, the patient was extubated without any complications.
    Conclusions: When using the McGrath videolaryngoscope, both glottic exposure similar to that achieved with the Macintosh laryngoscope and careful observation of the epiglottis should enable the prevention, detection, and treatment of epiglottic downfolding into the laryngeal inlet.

    Abstract This study examined the effects of sandblasting, hydrofluoric acid etching and priming on the shear bond strength of self-adhesive resin cement between seven different CAD/CAM resin composites and a resin composite core material at 24-h after cement mixing. Five surface treatments [control (C), sandblasting (S), priming (P), sandblasting with priming (SP), and 9% HF etching with priming (HFP)] were performed respectively for disc specimens of CAD/CAM blocks. There were no significant differences in bond strength among the C, S, and P, except for one block (p>0.05). SP showed a greater bond strength than S. Weibull moduli were not changed significantly among all treatments for all blocks, whereas the strengths with 5% and 95% failure probability of SP and HFP showed greater values than the others. The bond strengths of HFP were comparable to those of SP. Priming after sandblasting or HF etching could be effective to increase the bond strength of CAD/CAM blocks.

    Abstract The detection and quantification of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is a crucial technique that often involves the use of recombinant proteins with fusion protein tags, such as maltose-binding protein (MBP) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST). In this study, we improved the cohesive and sticky properties of gelatinized starch by supplementing it with agarose, resulting in a harder gel that could coat the bottom of a microtiter plate. The resulting gelatinized starch/agarose mixture allowed for the efficient immobilization of MBP-tagged proteins on the coated plates, enabling the use of indirect ELISA-like PPI assays. By using the enzymatic activity of GST as an indicator, we succeeded in determining the dissociation constants between MBP-tagged and GST-tagged proteins on 96-well microtiter plates and a microplate reader without any expensive specialized equipment.

    Abstract This study reveals a novel phenomenon demonstrating the softening of synthetic diamonds when cooled to very low temperatures below 1 K. Herein, we argue that this elastic softening can be attributed to the effect of electric-quadrupole degrees of freedom of the dangling bonds in the neutral single-atom vacancies of carbon. We present the results of ultrasonic investigations of single-crystalline synthetic diamonds, namely type-IIa (colorless) and Ib (yellow) diamonds grown by high-pressure-high-temperature synthesis as well as type-IIa diamond grown by chemical vapor deposition. We observe a magnetic-field-insensitive softening of the elastic constant $C_{44}$ in all samples at low temperatures below 1 K. Our results strongly suggest a ppb level concentration of neutral single-atomic vacancies in all investigated diamonds. Our findings open new avenues for the quantitative determination of single neutral vacancies in non-irradiated diamonds, an important information needed for their potential application for quantum technology and next-generation semiconductor devices.

    Abstract The objective of this study was to examine the effects of storage conditions on the flexural strengths of resin composite materials for CAD/CAM restorations. Seven commercially available resin composite CAD/CAM blanks were examined. Rectangular specimens (4.0×1.2×4.0 mm) of each material were trimmed from the blanks and subjected to thermal cycling between 5°C and 55°C in deionized water at 10,000 cycles or stored in 37°C deionized water for one week or air for one day (n=10 for each condition). The difference in storage condition between water immersion and thermal cycling did not affect the flexural strengths of resin composite materials for CAD/CAM examined in this study. The resin composite block CS300 made from Bis-MEPP and UDMA showed the greatest flexural strength under all storage conditions and less deterioration of strength by thermal cycling and water immersion among the resin composite blocks tested.
