    Notes: A vertical hot-wall type epi-reactor that makes it possible to simultaneously achieve both a high rate of epitaxial growth and large-area uniformity at the same time has been developed. A maximum growth rate of 250 µm/h is achieved at 1650 °C. Thickness uniformity of 1.1 % and doping uniformity of 6.7 % for a 65 mm radius area are achieved while maintaining a high growth rate of 79 µm/h. We also succeeded in growing a 280 µm-thick epilayer with excellent surface morphology and long carrier lifetime of ~1 µs on average. The LTPL spectrum shows free exciton peaks as dominant, and few impurity-related or intrinsic defect related peaks are observed. The DLTS measurement for an epilayer grown at 80 µm/h shows low trap concentrations of 1.2×1012 cm-3 for Z1/2 center and 6.3×1011 cm-3 for EH6/7 center, respectively

    Notes: A vertical hot-wall type reactor, with a unique structure designed for controlling both gasflow behavior and thermal gradient ([removed info]T/mm) on the susceptor surface, was developed. The simulationresults indicate that depending on the height of the epitaxy room (h), the [removed info]T/mm can be changed froma negative to a positive value. Preliminary epitaxial growth experiments resulted in a maximumgrowth rate of 51 μm/h, 4-inch area uniformity of σ/mean=1.7% for growth rate and σ/mean=21.5 %for doping concentration, and Z1/2 trap concentration of 9×1012 cm-3 at a growth rate of 43 μm/h

    Notes: Aims : Cyclin D1 is a target molecule transcriptionally activated by aberrant β-catenin in Wnt signalling. Thyroid papillary microcarcinoma (PMC) may be considered a precursor of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Ki67 is widely used as a proliferation marker. The aim of this study was to determine whether cyclin D1 overexpression is involved in early thyroid carcinogenesis.Methods and results : Thirty-five cases of PMC were examined immunohistochemically, including 11 cases less than 5 mm (PMC 〈 5) and 24 cases more than 5 mm (PMC 〉 5), and 18 PTC cases (size 11–15 mm). Cyclin D1 expression was significantly lower in PMC 〈 5 than in PMC 〉 5, while there was no significant difference between PMC 〉 5 and PTC. Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between cyclin D1 labelling index (LI) and Ki67 LI (P = 0.0272)/cytoplasmic β-catenin expression (P 〈 0.001) in PMC and PTC. Four of five PMC 〉 5 cases with lymph node (LN) metastases displayed a high cyclin D1 LI and strong cytoplasmic β-catenin expression.Conclusions : Cyclin D1 overexpression and correlation with aberrant β-catenin expression were demonstrated in PMC. Cyclin D1 expression was significantly associated with tumour size and LN metastases in PMC. Cyclin D1 may be up-regulated at an early stage of thyroid carcinogenesis and promote tumour growth and metastatic potency in PMC through activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

    Notes: Aims : The high incidence of clinically diagnosed prostatic cancer is exceeded by the frequency of tumours detected at autopsy. The Ets-1 proto-oncogene is expressed by a variety of malignant and normal tissues. Therefore, in this study, expression of Ets-1 protein was investigated in ‘latent’ prostatic cancer detected at autopsy, compared with benign prostatic hyperplasia, normal prostatic tissues and clinical prostatic cancer.Methods and results : Using immunohistochemistry, we analysed Ets-1 expression in 95 prostatic specimens including 19 cases of latent prostatic carcinoma (LPC) and 55 cases of clinical prostatic carcinoma (CPC), 11 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 10 cases of normal prostate (NP). Differences in the incidence of LPC and CPC suggest different courses for the biological progression of prostatic cancer. There was a significant difference in the degree of Ets-1 expression in CPC and LPC (P 〈 0.05). Ets-1 was not expressed in BPH and NP, but in malignant cases (57 of 74; 77.0%) commonly demonstrated immunoreactivity in the tumour cells. In our study the expression of Ets-1 between benign and malignant, and well, moderately and poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas of prostatic cancer showed significant differences. The presence of Ets-1 mRNA was confirmed by in-situ hybridization in human prostatic tissues.Conclusion : Our results suggest that Ets-1 might play an important role in carcinogenesis and/or the progression of human prostatic carcinomas.

    Notes: We report a successfully treated case of mycetoma from which an unusual Nocardia species was isolated. The isolate was identified as N. veterana by biochemical characterization and 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing, and it has not been previously reported as a causative agent of human mycetomas. Treatment with various antibiotics over 6 years and surgical resection failed to cure the disease. However, the combination of intravenous imipenem/cilastatin and amikacin along with oral clarithromycin and minocycline proved very effective in this case. This is the first case report of mycetoma due to N. veterana in a clinical setting.

    Notes: Background : Recent studies showed that acid-suppressive therapy aggravates corpus gastritis in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection.Aim : The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of famotidine, a histamine receptor antagonist on corpus gastritis in patients with peptic ulcer disease.Methods : We enrolled 287 patients, 173 with duodenal ulcer and 114 with gastric ulcer and 100 patients with H. pylori-positive gastritis as control subjects. Patients with peptic ulcer were classified according to whether or not they received famotidine-maintenance therapy (20 mg/day) after primary treatment. At the time of endoscopy, biopsy specimens were obtained from the antrum and the corpus. The degrees of neutrophil and lymphocyte infiltration, atrophy and intestinal metaplasia were scored according to the updated Sydney System.Results : The degrees of neutrophil infiltration and atrophy in the corpus were significantly less in patients with gastric ulcer or duodenal ulcer than in patients with H. pylori-positive gastritis (P 〈 0.01). Differences in the degrees of neutrophil infiltration and atrophy in the corpus between the non-maintenance group and the maintenance group were not significant.Conclusion : Long-term therapy with famotidine does not appear to lead to an increase in the incidence of corpus gastritis or corpus atrophy in patients with peptic ulcer disease.

    Notes: Background : Eradication of Helicobacter pylori is expected to prevent the development of gastric cancer. However, gastric cancer is sometimes discovered after successful eradication of H. pylori.Aim : To conduct a prospective study to determine the clinical features of patients who underwent successful eradication and were later diagnosed with gastric cancer.Methods : A total of 1787 patients (1299 males and 488 females; mean age, 58.2 years; range: 15–84) who underwent successful eradication therapy between April 1994 and March 2001 were our study subjects.Results : Gastric cancer occurred at a rate of 1.1% (20 of 1787) during the follow-up period. Gastric cancer comprises six of 105 (5.7%) with early gastric cancer after endoscopic resection, 12 of 575 (2.1%) with gastric ulcer and two of 453 (0.4%) with atrophic gastritis. Gastric cancer did not develop in any patient with duodenal ulcer. All patients with gastric cancer had baseline severe atrophic gastritis in the corpus.Conclusion : Careful endoscopic examination is necessary even after successful eradication of H. pylori in patients with early gastric cancer or gastric ulcer with severe mucosal atrophy in the corpus.

    Notes: Background  Netherton syndrome (NS) is a severe autosomal recessive disorder characterized by ichthyosiform erythroderma, bamboo hair and atopy. The disease is caused by mutations in the SPINK5 gene, which encodes a putative serine protease inhibitor, LEKTI (lymphoepithelial Kazal-type-related inhibitor). Previous studies have clearly shown a crucial role for LEKTI in skin barrier formation.Objectives  To identify pathogenic mutations in two Japanese siblings with NS, and further to investigate the consequences of the mutations at the protein level.Methods  To screen for mutations in the SPINK5 gene, all of its exons and splice junctions were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and directly sequenced. In addition, immunohistochemical staining of LEKTI, desmoglein (Dsg) 1 and elafin was performed with their specific antibodies.Results  Mutation analysis resulted in the identification of compound heterozygous mutations, Q713X and R790X, in the SPINK5 gene of both patients. The former one is a novel mutation. Immunohistochemical studies in one patient demonstrated a complete absence of LEKTI and a strong expression of elafin in the patient's skin. Dsg1 was normally expressed in our patient.Conclusions  In this report, we describe compound heterozygous mutations in the SPINK5 gene in two Japanese siblings with NS. The result of immunohistochemistry shows LEKTI deficiency and upregulation of elafin in the skin of one patient. Furthermore, our data indicate that degradation of Dsg1 does not always occur in NS.

    Notes: Background : It is controversial as to whether the development of gastric cancer is influenced by Helicobacter pylori eradication. If eradication itself influences the tumour morphology, this may affect the tumour discovery rate.Aim : To investigate the morphological changes in the gastric neoplasm after H. pylori eradication.Methods : We studied 37 patients with eradication therapy. After a 1-month follow-up, endoscopic re-evaluation was performed and the appearance was compared with first image. All lesions were resected endoscopically, and were subjected to histological assessment and to immunohistochemistry. Serum gastrin levels were determined before and after eradication.Results : Twenty-nine of 37 patients underwent successful eradication. The appearance of 11 lesions (33% of 33 lesions) became indistinct after successful eradication. All lesions were of the superficial-elevated type and the height of the lesions decreased. We detected normal columnar epithelium over the neoplasm in eight of the lesions. Higher expression of single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid in the deep area was characteristic in tumours with an indistinct appearance. These changes did not correlate with the serum gastrin levels.Conclusions : The morphology of the gastric neoplasm change after eradication in the short-term. This may contribute to the decreased tumour discovery rate.
