    Abstract During osteoclast differentiation, the expression of the transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T cell 1 (Nfatc1) increases in an autoproliferative manner. Nfatc1 isoforms are of three sizes, and only the short isoform increases during osteoclast differentiation. Genetic ablation of the whole Nfatc1 gene demonstrated that it is essential for osteoclastogenesis; however, the specific role of the Nfatc1 short form (Nfatc1/αA) remains unknown. In this study, we engineered Nfatc1 short form-specific knockout mice and found that these mice died in utero by day 13.5. We developed a novel osteoclast culture system in which hematopoietic stem cells were cultured, proliferated, and then differentiated into osteoclasts in vitro. Using this system, we show that the Nfatc1/αA isoform is essential for osteoclastogenesis and is responsible for the expression of various osteoclast markers, the Nfatc1 short form itself, and Nfatc1 regulators.

    Abstract Following the success in language domain, the self-attention mechanism (transformer) is adopted in the vision domain and achieving great success recently. Additionally, as another stream, multi-layer perceptron (MLP) is also explored in the vision domain. These architectures, other than traditional CNNs, have been attracting attention recently, and many methods have been proposed. As one that combines parameter efficiency and performance with locality and hierarchy in image recognition, we propose gSwin, which merges the two streams; Swin Transformer and (multi-head) gMLP. We showed that our gSwin can achieve better accuracy on three vision tasks, image classification, object detection and semantic segmentation, than Swin Transformer, with smaller model size.

    Abstract We herein report a 49-year-old Japanese man with relapsing polychondritis (RP) and aseptic meningoencephalitis. Four years ago, the patient was diagnosed with RP. Prednisolone (PSL) was started at 30 mg/day, and the symptoms promptly disappeared. However, cognitive impairment gradually appeared from six months before hospitalization. Methylprednisolone pulse therapy was immediately initiated, followed by administration of PSL at 1 mg/kg/day. Intravenous cyclophosphamide was combined with PSL. After treatment, the patient's cognitive impairment clearly improved. In conclusion, RP rarely causes aseptic meningoencephalitis, highlighting the need for prompt and aggressive immunosuppressive therapy.

    Abstract This paper describes a novel text-to-speech (TTS) technique based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNN), without use of any recurrent units. Recurrent neural networks (RNN) have become a standard technique to model sequential data recently, and this technique has been used in some cutting-edge neural TTS techniques. However, training RNN components often requires a very powerful computer, or a very long time, typically several days or weeks. Recent other studies, on the other hand, have shown that CNN-based sequence synthesis can be much faster than RNN-based techniques, because of high parallelizability. The objective of this paper is to show that an alternative neural TTS based only on CNN alleviate these economic costs of training. In our experiment, the proposed Deep Convolutional TTS was sufficiently trained overnight (15 hours), using an ordinary gaming PC equipped with two GPUs, while the quality of the synthesized speech was almost acceptable.

    Abstract Streptococcus pyogenes is a rare pathogen that causes endogenous endophthalmitis (EE). A healthy 58-year-old woman was diagnosed with EE secondary to septic arthritis caused by S. pyogenes. She underwent enucleation after hospitalization for 14 days with appropriate antibiotic cover. A literature search for outcomes of this condition revealed reports on only 10 eyes among 8 cases identified: 8 eyes (80%) developed poor visual outcome and 5 eyes (50%) underwent enucleation. There were no cases with immunocompromise. Our case report and literature review suggest the importance of awareness of the occurrence of S. pyogenes infection in immunocompetent hosts, and thus early diagnosis and aggressive treatment may be required to improve visual outcome.

    Abstract Interleukin 17 (IL-17) is a cytokine implicated in the promotion of osteoclastogenesis. Its effect has been believed not to be directly exerted on osteoclast precursors, but rather indirectly carried out via an induction of receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), the osteoclast differentiation factor, on osteoclast-supporting cells, which in turn exert an effect on osteoclast precursors. The mechanistic details, however, remain unclear. In this study, we first performed a transcriptome analysis of synoviocytes derived from a patient with rheumatoid arthritis cultured in the presence or absence of IL-17. We discovered that most of the genes significantly induced by IL-17 were chemokines with a chemotactic effect on neutrophils. We confirmed these results by quantitative RT-PCR and ELISA. Unexpectedly, the stimulation with IL-17 alone did not induce the expression of RANKL either at the mRNA or the protein level. The induction of RANKL was observed when IL-17 was added in combination with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and prostaglandin E2, well-known inducers of RANKL, although the exact mechanism of this synergistic effect remains unclear. IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 were also significantly induced by IL-17 at both the mRNA and protein levels. Thus, it appears that IL-17 induces the migration of neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages through the activation of synoviocytes, and enhances a positive feedback loop composed of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-17.

    Abstract GABA[arrow beta]AlaAT convertase is an endopeptidase that processes brain-type 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (GABA AT; EC 2.6.1.19) to liver-type beta-alanine-oxoglutarate aminotransferase (beta-AlaAT I) in rats. Its molecular mass was 180 kDa as determined by gel filtration. A subunit molecular mass of 97652 Da was measured using MALDI-TOF MS. The N-terminal sequence of the purified GABA[arrow beta]AlaAT convertase was SRVEVSKVLILGSGGLSIGQAGEFDYSGSQAV- and was identical to residues 418-449 of carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase I (CPS I; EC 1.2.1.27) purified from rat liver. The subunit molecular mass and the N-terminal amino acid sequence suggested that GABA[arrow beta]AlaAT convertase was the 418-1305 peptide of CPS I. An expression vector containing the coding region of the 418-1305 peptide of rat CPS I was transfected into NIH3T3 cells and the extract of the cells showed GABA[arrow beta]AlaAT convertase activity.
