    Notes: Abstract  Background and aims: The present study evaluates the significance of tumor volume as a prognostic factor in gastric cancer. Patients/methods: Tumor volume was measured from serial tissue sections of 101 patients who had undergone curative resection for solitary carcinoma of the stomach using a computer graphics analysis program. These patients were analyzed with respect to survival based on uni- variate and multivariate analyses of clinicopathological factors, including tumor volume, to determine an independent prognostic factor. Results: Significant differences in survival were found with respect to depth of tumor invasion (P=0.001), status of lymph-node metastasis (P=0.018), tumor diameter (P=0.005), and tumor volume (P〈0.0001) based on univariate analysis. However, multivariate analysis indicated only tumor volume as a valid factor in determining prognosis among the nine variables and was significantly associated with the prognosis (P=0.0005; relative risk 18.23; 95% confidence interval 3.52–94.37). Conclusion: The present findings indicate that tumor volume is an important prognostic factor in patients who undergo curative resection for gastric cancer and may be an alternative to conventional factors, thus providing a novel independent prognostic factor in gastric cancer.

    Notes: Abstract We studied a dominant hereditary disorder showing progressive spastic paraparesis. The symptoms began in early childhood, with cerebellar deficits and mild mental deterioration, and the subsequent appearance of limb spasticity resulted in severe disability in the 3rd-4th decades of life. None of the patients were associated with any somatic abnormalities. Brain MRI showed diffuse white-matter involevement in all affected patients, but not in unaffected siblings. Although dominant, recessive, or X-linked leukodystrophies cause similar clinical features, our family did not show any known biochemical or gene deficits characteristic of these disorders. The clinical, radiological, and biochemical findings of this family are reported and suggest a possible novel genetic disorder.

    Notes: Abstract To clarify the mechanism of plasma nitriding, we examined the optical microstructure, the hardness, the precipitation, and the concentration of dissolved nitrogen in Fe-18Cr-9Ni nitrided using plasma in the range of 723–823 K. Compared with ammonia-gas nitriding, the features of plasma nitriding are the formation of small chromium-nitride precipitates (CrN), the absence of an externally nitrided layer, the high concentration of dissolved nitrogen, and the high hardness (HV=1200). The diffusion coefficient of nitrogen in the present alloy was determined using the growth rate of the internally nitrided layer, based on calculations used in internal oxidation. Plasma- and gas-nitriding were also compared with respect to the growth rate of the nitrided layer.
