Optical Technique to Measure Five-Degree-of-Freedom Error Motions for a High-Speed Microspindle
Hiroshi Murakami1,Norio Kawagoishi,Eiji Kondo,Akira Kodama 한국정밀공학회 2010 International Journal of Precision Engineering and Vol. No.
We present an optical technique to measure five-degree-of-freedom error motions of a high-speed microspindle. The measurement system consists of a rod lens, a ball lens, four divided laser beams, and multiple divided photodiodes. When the spindle rotates with its concomitant rotation errors, the rod and ball lenses, which are mounted to the chuck of the spindle, are displaced, and this displacement is measured using an optical technique. For this study, we decide the design parameters of the optical system using ray tracing, fabricate a prototype of the measurement system, and evaluate it experimentally. The results show that the measurement system has a resolution of 5 nm and can be used to evaluate high-speed microspindle rotation errors.
Photosynthetic Performances of Temperate Sargassum and Kelp Species Growing in the Same Habitat

Characteristics of photosynthesis-light and photosynthesis-temperature relationships were seasonally compared among 4 species, two temperate Sargassurn (S. ringgoldianum and S. spathulophyllum) and two temperate kelp (Ecklonia cava and Eisenia bicyclis), growing in the same habitat in Oura Bay, Shimoda, central Japan. The photosynthesis-irradiance (P-I) curve of each species at the in situ temperature and the photosynthesis-temperature (P-T) curve at near saturation irradiance (400μmol·m^(-2)·s^(-1)) were determined by using differential gas-volumeters. Maximum photosynthetic rates (Prnax) for P-I curves of the two Sargassurn species were higher from summer to autumn than from winter to spring, while those of the two kelp species showed little difference among seasons. Net photosynthetic rates (Pn) at 100-400μmol·m^(-2)·s^(-1) of the Sargassurn species were higher than those of the kelp species in autumn, spring and summer, while in winter the rates were about the same between the Sargassurn and kelp species. Among seasons, the light saturation index (1k) values, dark respiration rates and light compensation points of Sargassurn species differed more than those of kelp species. Optimum temperature for P-T curves of Sargassurn species was 29℃ and that of kelp species was 27℃ in summer, while in winter the former was 27℃ and the latter was 25℃. Pn at 400 μmol·m^(-2)·s^(-1) at 10-33℃ of Sargassurn species were considerably higher than those of kelp species from spring to summer, while from autumn to winter the rates at 5-27℃ were about the same between the two. At supra-optimum temperatures, Pn of kelp species decreased more sharply than those of Sargassurn species in each season. These facts indicate that the two temperate Sargassurn species have a higher potential photosynthetic performance under warmer conditions than the two temperate kelp species even though they grow in the same habitat.

High-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy has extended survival in patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). However, although salvage treatment is necessary in recurrent and refractory PCNSL, this has not been standardized. We herein describe the efficacy of a combination of rituximab and temozolomide (TMZ) in two consecutive patients with recurrent and refractory PCNSL. Based on the immunohistochemical study, case 1 had a non-germinal center B-cell-like (non-GCB) subtype, was positive for bcl-2 and negative for O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). Case 2 was GCB subtype, bcl-2-, and MGMT+. Because of the positive expression of MGMT, interferon-beta was additionally given in case 2. Complete responses and partial responses were obtained after the third and fourth cycles of combination therapy, respectively. This was maintained for 12 months, with acceptable toxicity. The combination of rituximab and TMZ was effective in tumors with different immunohistochemical profiles. This combination therapy warrants further study in a larger population.

Arrayed ultrasonic microsensors using piezoelectric PZT (Pb(Zr,Ti)O3) thin lms on micromachined silicon diaphragms have been fabricated and combined with BBD (Backet Brigade Device) for signal processing. The ultrasonic sensors are designed to compose an electrical phased array for three-dimensional object detection in air. The resonant frequencies of the elements were scattered in the error range of 12 % and the objects could not be detected due to the beat in the sum of delayed element waveforms. Each element has been tuned by adequate poling less than 10 V to make its resonant frequency equal to a center value. The frequency scattering was reduced within the range of 2 % and the tuned array could give the objects by summing up of the delayed signals. Three-dimensional object detection has been demonstrated using the tuned sensor combined with the BBD delay circuit.4

Smad1 has previously been shown to play a key role in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN), by increasing synthesis of extracellular matrix. However, the regulatory mechanism of Smad1 in DN is still unclear. This study aims to elucidate molecular interactions between activin receptor-like kinase 1 (ALK1)/Smad1 signaling pathway and transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) in the progression of DN in vitro and in vivo. The expressions of TCF7L2 and ALK1 were induced by advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in parallel with Smad1, phosphorylated Smad1 (pSmad1), and alpha-smooth muscle actin (${\alpha}$-SMA) through TGF-${\beta}$1 in cultured mesangial cells. Constitutively active ALK1 increased pSmad1 and ${\alpha}$-SMA expressions. The binding of TCF7L2 to ALK1 promoter was confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation assay. Furthermore, TCF7L2 induced promoter activity of ALK1. AGEs and TGF-${\beta}$1 induced a marked increase in TCF7L2 expression in parallel with ALK1. Overexpression of TCF7L2 increased the expressions of ALK1 and Smad1. Inversely, TCF7L2 knockdown by siRNA suppressed ${\alpha}$-SMA expression as well as ALK1 and Smad1. The iNOS transgenic mice (iNOS-Tgm), which developed diabetic glomerulosclerosis resembling human diabetic nephropathy, exhibited markedly increased expressions of ALK1, TCF7L2, Smad1, pSmad1, and ${\alpha}$-SMA in glomeruli in association with mesangial matrix expansion. These results provide a new evidence that the TCF7L2/ALK1/Smad1 pathway plays a key role in the development of DN.

Helicobacter pylori is a major human pathogen that plays central roles in chronic gastritis and gastric cancer. Recently, we reported that auraptene suppressed H. pylori adhesion via expression of CD74, which has been identified as a new receptor for H. pylori urease. In this study, we attempted to clarify the effects of oral feeding of auraptene on H. pylori infection and resultant inflammatory responses in C57BL/6 mice and found that it remarkably attenuated H. pylori colonization and gastritis. Biochemical analyses revealed that auraptene inhibited H. pylori–induced expression and/or production of CD74, macrophage migration inhibitory factor, interleukin-1b, and tumor necrosis factor-a in gastric mucosa, together with serum macrophage inhibitory protein-2. It is notable that treatment with this coumarin during the pretreatment period was more effective than that during posttreatment. Our results suggest that auraptene is a promising phytochemical for reducing the risk of H. pylori–induced gastritis and carcinogenesis.
