    Abstract Four novel d-xylose assimilation yeast strains were isolated from rotting wood and a lichen sample collected in the Kyushu region of Japan. Species identifications were performed by analysing the internal transcribed spacer 5.8S region sequences and the D1/D2 variable domain of the large subunit rRNA gene. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that these isolates are closely related to

    Abstract Background: Depiction of bypass blood flow in patients who received extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) bypass surgery is important for patient care.
    Purpose: To develop a vessel-encoded arterial spin labeling (VE-ASL) method using surgical staples as a magnetic resonance (MR)-conditional product in patients who received EC-IC bypass surgery.
    Material and methods: Pseudo-continuous labeling was used for VE-ASL acquisition with a 3-T MR unit. First, an experimental study was conducted to determine the appropriate number of surgical staples to obtain a spatially sufficient saturation effect. Thereafter, four healthy normal volunteers underwent a VE-ASL study to confirm the sufficiency of the saturation effect to the right or left common carotid artery. Finally, VE-ASL scanning was performed in seven patients after EC-IC bypass surgery to confirm the ability of VE-ASL to visualize the territorial bypass perfusion. All qualitative evaluation was performed by two neuroradiologists using a 3-point grading system (2 = good, 1 = moderate, 0 = poor).
    Results: A quantity of 200 staples was found to be appropriate for VE-ASL scanning. In healthy volunteers, one neuroradiologist rated the images of all four cases as good, while the other rated three cases as good and one case as moderate. For the seven patients after EC-IC bypass surgery, one neuroradiologist rated all seven cases as good, and the other rated six cases as good and one case as moderate.
    Conclusion: VE-ASL using surgical staples might be useful for the evaluation of territorial bypass perfusion in patients after EC-IC bypass surgery.

    Abstract Newborn neurons show immature bipolar morphology and continue to migrate toward their destinations. After the termination of migration, newborn neurons undergo spatially controlled dendrite formation and change into a complex morphology. The mechanisms of dendritic development of newborn neurons have not been fully understood. Here, we show that in the postnatal olfactory bulb (OB), the Sema3E-PlexinD1 signaling, which maintains bipolar morphology of newborn neurons, also regulates their dendritic development after the termination of migration in a dendritic domain-specific manner.

    Abstract Three main E-type resolvins (RvEs): RvE1, RvE2, and RvE3, have roles in the resolution of inflammation as anti-inflammatory activities. To investigate the roles of each RvE in the resolution of inflammation, timing of interleukin (IL)- 10 release and IL-10 receptor expressions, and phagocytosis evoked by each RvE in differentiated human monocytes, macrophage-like U937 cells were examined. Here, we show that RvEs enhance the expression of IL-10, and IL-10 receptor-mediated signaling pathways and IL-10-mediated-signaling-independent resolution of inflammatory effects by activating the phagocytotic function. Thus, RvE2 mainly evoked an IL-10-mediated anti-inflammatory function, whereas RvE3 principally activated phagocytotic activity of macrophages, which may be involved in tissue repair. On the other hand, RvE1 showed both functions, although not prominent but rather acting as a relief mediator that takes over the RvE2 function and passes over to the RvE3 function. Therefore, each RvE may act as an important role/stage-specific mediator in a coordinated manner with other RvEs in the processes of the resolution of inflammation.

    Abstract Rationale and objectives: To evaluate the depictability of intracranial small arteries using high-resolution CTA with model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR).
    Materials and methods: We retrospectively analyzed 21 patients who underwent brain 3D-CTA. Axial and volume-rendered (VR) images were reconstructed from the 3D-CTA raw data using adaptive statistical image reconstruction (ASIR) and MBIR. As a quantitative assessment, intra-arterial CT values of the ICA and contrast-to-noise ratio were measured to evaluate vessel enhancement. Additionally, CT values and standard deviations (SDs) of CT values and signal to noise ratio in white matter parenchyma were measured to evaluate background noise. As a qualitative assessment, the degree of vessel depictability in the anterior choroidal artery (AchoA) and the perforating branches of thalamoperforating arteries (TPA) on VR images using two different reconstruction algorithms was visually evaluated using a 3-point grading system.
    Results: The CT value of the ICA [605.27± 89.76 Hounsfield units (HU)] was significantly increased and the SD value (i.e., image noise) of the white matter parenchyma [6.79 ± 0.81(HU)] was decreased on MBIR compared with ASIR [546.76 ± 85.27 (HU)] and [8.04 ± 1.08 HU)] (p <.05 for all). Contrast-to-noise ratio of ICA [84.48 ± 20.17] and signal to noise ratio of white matter [6.18 ± 0.75] with MBIR were significantly higher than ASIR [65.98 ± 13.08] and [5.28 ± 0.78] (p < 0.05 for all). In addition, depictions of the AchoA and TPA on VR images were significantly improved using MBIR compared with ASIR (p < 0.05).
    Conclusion: MBIR allows depiction of small intracranial arteries such as AchoA and TPA with better visibility than ASIR without increasing the dose of radiation and the amount of contrast agent.

    Abstract Aim: To evaluate the image quality of bone-vessel fused volume-rendering (VR) images reconstructed by three-dimensional "black bone" magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on the fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition cycled phases (FIESTA-C) sequence and time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA).
    Materials and methods: Seventeen patients were analysed in this retrospective study. All patients underwent both MRI techniques including FIESTA-C and TOF-MRA and computed tomography angiography (CTA). MRI- and CT-based bone-vessel VR images were reconstructed. Visual depictions of frontal and parietal branches from the superficial temporal artery (STA) were independently scored by three experienced radiological technologists using a four-grade system.
    Results: In the visual evaluation, the scores of the both right and left frontal branches in MRI-based VR image were significantly larger those at CT (p<0.01, respectively). The scores of both the right and left parietal branches tended to be larger in MRI-based than that in CT-based VR imaging, but were not significantly so (p=0.06, 0.13 respectively). In the interobserver agreement analysis, κ values were all good (range: 0.6-0.76) for STA branch evaluation in MRI-based VR images.
    Conclusion: MRI bone-vessel fused VR imaging can non-invasively depict STA frontal branches with better visibility compared to the CT-based VR imaging. This technique may be useful for the preoperative evaluation of donor branches for STA-middle cerebral artery bypass surgery.

    Abstract Objective: In endovascular treatment, it is important to evaluate the access route for placing a catheter into the common carotid artery (CCA) promptly and safely prior to the procedure. We examined whether non-contrast MRA using time-spatial labeling inversion pulse (Time-SLIP) can be used in patients prior to endovascular thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke. We compared Time-SLIP MRA to contrast-enhanced (CE) MRA and evaluated the efficacy in the evaluation of access routes.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 31 patients admitted between October 2018 and December 2018 for cerebral infarction at our hospital. Blood vessels were imaged from the aortic arch to the CCA. A radiologist blindly evaluated quality score, stenosis, shape of the aorta, and degree of tortuosity.
    Results: There were no "non-diagnostic" images. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for stenosis were 83%, 96%, 83%, and 96%, respectively. The sensitivity for the aorta type classification was 100%. The sensitivity for mild tortuosity was 93%, for moderate was 100%, and for severe was 100%.
    Conclusion: Time-SLIP MRA can be an alternative to CE MRA in access route assessment for patients with cerebral infarction who are not eligible for acute thrombectomy therapy.
