    Abstract Retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy. Owing to its rarity and nonspecific symptoms, diagnosing retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy at the initial presentation poses a significant challenge. Typically, the diagnosis relies on non-radiation imaging modalities, such as ultrasonography and MRI, whereas CT is infrequently used. Herein, we report a rare case of a retroperitoneal ectopic pregnancy, which was diagnosed using CT.

    Abstract Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a shift from in-person to remote education, with most students taking classes via video meetings. This change inhibits active class participation from students. In particular, video education has limitations in replacing practical classes, which require both theoretical and empirical knowledge. In this study, we propose a system that incorporates virtual reality and metaverse methods into the classroom to compensate for the shortcomings of the existing remote models of practical education. Based on the proposed system, we developed an aircraft maintenance simulation and conducted an experiment comparing our system to a video training method. To measure educational effectiveness, knowledge acquisition, and retention tests were conducted and presence was investigated via survey responses. The results of the experiment show that the group using the proposed system scored higher than the video training group on both knowledge tests. As the responses given to the presence questionnaire confirmed a sense of spatial presence felt by the participants, the usability of the proposed system was judged to be appropriate.

    Abstract Low-temperature process compatibility is a key factor in successfully constructing additional functional circuits on top of pre-existing circuitry without corrupting characteristics thereof, a technique that typically requires die-to-die (wafer-to-wafer) stacking and interconnecting. And against thermal annealing, which is mandatory and is possible only globally for activating amorphous oxide semiconductors, the selective control of electrical characteristics of the oxide thin-films for integrated circuit applications is challenging. Here, a low-temperature process that enables n-type doping of the designed region of insulating In

    Abstract In this study, we introduce a novel approach for synthesizing lignin-incorporated castor-oil-based cationic waterborne polyurethane (CWPU-LX), diverging significantly from conventional waterborne polyurethane dispersion synthesis methods. Our innovative method efficiently reduces the required solvent quantity for CWPU-LX synthesis to approximately 50% of that employed in traditional WBPU experimental procedures. By incorporating lignin into the polyurethane matrix using this efficient and reduced-solvent method, CWPU-LX demonstrates enhanced properties, rendering it a promising material for diverse applications. Dynamic interactions between lignin and polyurethane molecules contribute to improved mechanical properties, enhanced thermal stability, and increased solvent resistance. Dynamic interactions between lignin and polyurethane molecules contribute to improved tensile strength, up to 250% compared to CWPU samples. Furthermore, the inclusion of lignin enhanced thermal stability, showcasing a 4.6% increase in thermal decomposition temperature compared to conventional samples and increased solvent resistance to ethanol. Moreover, CWPU-LX exhibits desirable characteristics such as protection against ultraviolet light and antibacterial properties. These unique properties can be attributed to the presence of the polyphenolic group and the three-dimensional structure of lignin, further highlighting the versatility and potential of this material in various application domains. The integration of lignin, a renewable and abundant resource, into CWPU-LX exemplifies the commitment to environmentally conscious practices and underscores the significance of greener materials in achieving a more sustainable future.

    Abstract This study suggests an electric vehicle heat pump and thermal management system employing a floating loop. The floating loop manages the thermal state of power electronics and electric motors by utilizing the liquid refrigerant at the condenser outlet. This loop recovers the waste heat generated by power electronics and electric motors in winter and enhances the cooling performance in summer through the superior cooling performance of evaporative heat transfer. Configurations of heat pump and thermal management system are presented with operating schematic in summer and winter. To verify the performance of the suggested system, the heat pump and thermal management system model is established based on experimentally validated heat pump component models and electric device models. Heat exchangers are reallocated within a finite volume to investigate the effect of thermal load shift from the coolant to the refrigerant. The result shows that the heat pump system utilizing a floating loop with the largest refrigerant heat exchanger can save power consumptions in winter up to 27.7% and 5.8% in summer while maintaining the thermal state of electric devices within the appropriate range.

    Title translation Pathophysiology and MRI Findings of Infectious Spondylitis and the Differential Diagnosis.
    Abstract On MRI, abnormal signals of the intervertebral disc, destruction of the upper and lower vertebral body endplate around the disc, and bone marrow edema around the endplate are considered typical findings of infectious spondylitis. These findings can also appear in various non-infectious spinal diseases, such as degenerative changes, acute Schmorl's node, spondyloarthropathy, synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis (SAPHO), chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis, and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease. The imaging findings of infectious spondylitis that can be differentiated from these non-infectious spinal diseases on MRI are high signal intensity and abscess of the disc space, an abscess in the paraspinal soft tissue, and the loss of the linear low signal intensity on T1-weighted images of the bony endplate. However, these differentiation points do not always apply since there are many similarities in the imaging findings of infectious and non-infectious diseases. Therefore, for an accurate diagnosis, it is important to know the imaging characteristics related to the pathophysiology of not only infectious spondylitis but also non-infectious spinal diseases, which requires differentiation from infection.

    Abstract The measurement of oxygen consumption rate (OCR) provides a comprehensive understanding of mitochondrial metabolism. However, no study has been conducted to investigate the mitochondrial dysfunction caused by organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs). The objectives of this study were to optimize the experimental conditions to measure OCR in zebrafish embryos using the Seahorse XFe 24 Extracellular Flux Analyzer, and to investigate the changes of OCR in zebrafish embryos exposed to OPFRs. We first optimized the experimental conditions such as the number of embryos, concentrations of inhibitors, and time points. We determined the factors, i.e., three embryos, 12.5 μM of oligomycin, 8 μM of carbonyl cyanaide 4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone (FCCP), and 24 hpf (hours post-fertilization) time point, for obtaining the typical pattern of OCR in dechorinated zebrafish embryos. After confirming the determinants upon exposure of triclosan, the inhibition of OCR was measured in zebrafish embryos exposed to two major OPFRs, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) and tris (1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCIPP). We found that significant inhibition of OCR was observed in basal respiration for TPHP, and in basal and maximal respiration for TDCIPP exposure, respectively. We suggest the optimum conditions of the Seahorse XFe 24 analyzer to better evaluate OCR in zebrafish embryos, and demonstrate the potential of TPHP and TDCIPP to cause the disruption of energy metabolism associated with mitochondrial dysfunction.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Subjective cognitive complaints (SCCs) are gaining attention as a self-perceived symptom for cognitive impairment in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), but there are few suitable tools for assessing SCCs in PD. This study aimed to develop and validate a questionnaire for assessing SCCs in PD, called the Subjective Cognitive Complaints Questionnaire for Parkinson's Disease (SCCQ-PD).
    Methods: The SCCQ-PD consists of 12 yes/no questions on subjective cognitive function, and the questionnaire was completed by patients with PD (score-P) and their caregivers (score-C). The cognitive function of patients was examined using comprehensive neuropsychological tests.
    Results: This study included 73 patients (38 cognitively normal, 25 with mild cognitive impairment [MCI], and 10 demented) and their caregivers. Score-P and score-C had excellent reliability (Kuder-Richardson formula 20 coefficients of 0.893 and 0.931, respectively), and the scores exhibited a strong intercorrelation. Both score-P and score-C were negatively correlated with cognitive performance, and both were excellent in discriminating demented patients from those with normal cognition or MCI (areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.83 and 0.88, respectively).
    Conclusions: The SCCQ-PD is a reliable tool for assessing SCCs in patients with PD. SCCs measured using the SCCQ-PD are correlated with objective cognitive decline and useful for discriminating demented patients from nondemented patients.
