    Abstract Precise template synthesis will realize three-dimensionally ordered nanoporous graphenes (NPGs) with a spatially controlled seamless graphene structure and fewer edges. These structural features result in superelastic nature, high electrochemical stability, high electrical conductivity, and fast diffusion of gases and ions at the same time. Such innovative 3D graphene materials are conducive to solving energy-related issues for a better future. To further improve the attractive properties of NPGs, we review the template synthesis and its mechanism by chemical vapor deposition of hydrocarbons, analysis of the nanoporous graphene structure, and applications in electrochemical and mechanical devices.

    Abstract Diacylglycerol (DG) is unique in lipid metabolism because it serves not only as an intermediate product for triglyceride synthesis, but also as a signaling molecule that activates proteins containing DG-responsive elements, such as protein kinase C. Consequently, DG acts as a hub between energy metabolism and intracellular signaling. Of DG metabolizing pathways, DG kinase (DGK) phosphorylates DG to produce phosphatidic acid, which also serves as a second messenger. Several lines of evidence suggest that DGK is deeply involved in metabolic diseases such as obesity and insulin resistance. Of DGK isozymes, DGKε is simplest in terms of structure, but it is characterized by substrate specificity toward arachidonoyl-DG. Recently, we have reported that DGKε deficiency promotes adipose tissue remodeling in mice during the course of high fat diet (HFD) feeding regimen including obesity, insulin resistance, and beige adipogenesis. DGKε ablation engenders altered expression of other lipid metabolizing enzymes, including adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL), hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL), and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT). Subcellular localization of DGKε in the endoplasmic reticulum suggests involvement of this isozyme in lipid energy homeostasis. This review presents current findings of DGKε in lipid-orchestrated pathophysiology, especially unique phenotypes of DGKε-knockout mice in the early and late stages of obesogenic conditions.

    Abstract Adipose tissue (AT) comprises distinct fat depots such as white AT and brown AT. White and brown adipocytes exhibit different morphological and physiological properties. White adipocytes containing large single lipid droplet (LD) provide energy on demand whereas brown adipocytes loaded with multilocular LDs consume energy to generate heat or dissipate excess energy. Recent studies have shown that multilocular brown-like cells emerge in white AT under certain conditions. These cells termed beige adipocytes participate in energy expenditure and heat generation. In the process of lipolysis, TG is broken down into free fatty acid and diacylglycerol (DG). In this regard, DG also serves as a signaling molecule activating some proteins such as protein kinase C. Therefore, DG kinase (DGK), an enzyme which phosphorylates DG into phosphatidic acid (PA), plays a pivotal role in integrating energy homeostasis and intracellular signaling. Recently, we described that DGKε-KO mice exhibit increased adiposity in visceral white AT accompanied with impaired glucose tolerance early (40 days) in the course of high fat diet (HFD) feeding, although these mice exhibit "browning or beiging" in visceral white AT associated with improved glucose tolerance after longer term HFD feeding (180 days). This study was conducted to understand the overall features of adipose tissues and investigate changes in subcutaneous (inguinal) white AT and interscapular brown AT of DGKε-KO mice during the course of HFD feeding. Results demonstrated that fat accumulation is promoted in all fat depots under 40 days of HFD feeding conditions. Remarkably, "whitening" of brown adipocytes was identified in DGKε-deficient brown AT during the course of HFD feeding, suggesting brown adipocyte dysfunction. In addition, insulin levels were considerably elevated in DGKε-KO mice under 180 days of HFD feeding conditions. Collectively, these findings suggest that brown adipocytes are dysfunctional in DGKε-KO mice, which promotes browning or beiging in visceral white AT. Beige adipocytes may take over energy disposal and contribute to improving glucose tolerance with the aid of high levels of insulin in DGKε-KO mice upon excess feeding.

    Abstract Osimertinib is the standard of care for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor-activating mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer. Dose-toxicity has been previously reported, but no dose-response data within the range of 20-240 mg daily (mg/d). Thus, the current 80 mg/d dosing might be too high for elderly Japanese patients with an average body weight of only 50 kg, resulting in excessive toxicity and cost. We therefore initiated a study to investigate whether osimertinib at 40 mg/d is non-inferior to 80 mg/d in patients with advanced or recurrent epidermal growth factor receptor-activating mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer aged ≥70 years, using a regression discontinuity design. Osimertinib is administered at 40 mg/d for body weight ≤50 kg, and 80 mg/d for body weight >50 kg. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival. Sample size is 550 patients, based on a non-inferiority margin of the progression-free survival hazard ratio 1.333, 0.10 one-sided type I error and 80% power.

    Abstract Gq protein-coupled receptors lead to activation of phospholipase C, which triggers phosphoinositide signaling. Diacylglycerol (DG) is one of the phosphoinositide metabolites and serves as a second messenger. Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) phosphorylates DG to produce another second messenger phosphatidic acid. Of the DGK family, DGKγ is predominantly expressed in the brain at the mRNA level. Recent studies have shown the expression of DGKγ in vascular endothelial cells and adrenal medullary cells at the protein level, although its detailed cellular expression pattern and subcellular localization in the brain remain to be determined. In the present study, we addressed this point using specific DGKγ antibody. DGKγ was expressed in both projection neurons and interneurons in the cerebral cortex, hippocampal formation, and cerebellum. In cerebellar Purkinje cells, DGKγ was distributed to the soma and dendrites. Fractionation study revealed that DGKγ was enriched in the internal membranes containing the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. In immunoelectron microscopy, DGKγ was localized throughout the smooth endoplasmic reticulum system. These findings suggest that DGKγ shows unique cellular expression pattern in the brain and distinct subcellular localization different from other DGK isozymes.

    Abstract Ebstein's anomaly is an uncommon congenital disorder affecting the tricuspid valve. We herein report a 38-year-old woman who experienced consciousness and sensory disturbance during treatment for heart failure caused by Ebstein's anomaly. Urgent magnetic resonance imaging and cerebral angiography demonstrated acute cerebral infarction and internal carotid artery obstruction with the development of collateral arteries. We diagnosed her with multiple cerebral infarctions due to moyamoya disease. Ebstein's anomaly concomitant with moyamoya disease is extremely rare. However, we should consider the possibility of this rare but important concurrence when treating patients with heart failure due to Ebstein's anomaly to avoid excessive diuresis and vasodilation and irreversible brain injury.

    Abstract A 9-year-old intact female chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera) was presented to a referring veterinarian due to small, multiple cervical nodules that had been rapidly increasing in size and number. Cytology of the nodules revealed sheets of pleomorphic round cells that were morphologically most compatible with histiocytic sarcoma. Histologically, the nodules were fairly demarcated, partially infiltrative, densely cellular neoplasm, and was composed of pleomorphic large round cells arranged in sheets. Special stains for bacteria (Gram stain and Ziehl-Neelsen stain) and fungi (periodic acid-Schiff stain) were all negative. On immunohistochemistry, the neoplastic cells showed strong cytoplasmic positivity for Iba-1 and CD204, but were negative for CD3 and CD20. Transmission electron microscopy failed to detect Birbeck's granules in the cytoplasm of the neoplastic histiocytes. The chinchilla received chemotherapy with lomustine but died spontaneously on day 62 despite treatment. Autopsy with histopathologic examination revealed disseminated histiocytic sarcoma involving the bone marrow, bronchial lymph nodes, nasal cavity, lung, heart, stomach, pancreas, pancreatic lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and kidney. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of disseminated histiocytic sarcoma in chinchillas.
