No full textHamamoto Y., Kawamura M., Mori H., et al. Kikuchi Disease After SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination: A Case Report With Immunohistochemical Analyses. International Journal of Surgical Pathology 32(6), 1123-1128 © 2023 The Author(s). DOI: 10.1177/10668969231212428.SARS-CoV-2 vaccines have been administered in many countries after the COVID-19 pandemic. Lymphadenopathy is a side effect of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. We report a rare example of Kikuchi disease in the cervical lymph nodes after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. A 41-year-old man complained of a swollen neck and fever 9 days after the first dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-1273 vaccine. Computed tomography revealed enlarged cervical lymph nodes. Fine needle aspiration and resection were performed, and the clinicopathological diagnosis was consistent with Kikuchi disease. Histologically, the resected lymph nodes lost their polarity, and many histiocytes were aggregated with karyorrhectic nuclear debris and apoptosis. SARS-CoV-2 positive cells were small lymphocytes detected by immunohistochemistry. This is the first report that demonstrated SARS-CoV-2 expression in Kikuchi disease post-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination

Sixth abdominal somite 0.43 times as long as carapace, 1.25 times longer than height, pleuron with strong posterolateral and posteroventral tooth. Telson 1.56 times as long as sixth abdominal somite, not reaching posterior margin of uropodal endopod, 2.33 times as long as anterior width and 4.30 times as long as posterior width; armed with 6 (right) or 8 (left) dorsolateral spines; posterior margin evenly slightly convex, armed with 1 (right) or 2 (left) spines similar to dorsolateral ones at lateral corners and 10 plumose setae all longer than mesial pair of lateral spines. Eyes small, stalk short, cornea indistinct. Antennular peduncle stout, stylocerite exceeding mid-length of second segment, distolateral tooth of first segment extending to proximal 0.40 of second segment; second segment 1.68 times longer than wide, distomesial tooth acute.

Body entirely semi-transparent ivory-white, eyes white (Figs. 2, 3). Remarks. The present male specimen agrees well with the original (Kikuchi and Ohta, 1995) and Komai and Segonzac’s (2005) descriptions and illustrations. The similarities of nucleotide sequences of the genes 16 S RNA and COI from the present specimen are more than 99 % comparing with those provided by G. Tokuda, R. P. Kumara and H. Yamasaki [genbank number: AB 821296.1 (mitochondrial DNA complete genome), fig. 4, COI, fig. 5, 16S RNA] and K. H. Chu and T.-Y. Chan [genbank number: GQ 131897.1 (16 S RNA)] from specimens from Okinawa Trough, Hatoma Knoll, the type locality. Alvinocaris longirostris was not previously reported from the South China Sea. This record extends the distribution of the species much south into the South China Sea. As Komai and Segonzac (2005) pointed out, this species may be the only one in the family Alvinocarididae that occurs on both hot vents and cold seeps (see Teixeira et al. 2013). This record is the second record of the species from cold seep, after Fujikura et al. (1995) reported it from the Sagami Bay, at similar depth (1120–1220 m) as this record, although the species was first reported from hydrothermal vent. Same as Alvinocaris longirostris Kikuchi and Ohta, 1995, the two key species of the Bathymodiolus platifrons — Shinkaia crosnieri Community from the Jiaolong Cold Seep I, Bathymodiolus platifrons Hashimoto & Okutani, 1994 and Shinkaia crosnieri Baba & Williams, 1998 were also reported from Okinawa Trough in the habitat fluenced by hydrothermal vent. These three species are also the key species in the hydrothermal vent community. Recently, the author visited the Jiaolong Cold Seep I again in April 2014 for field work with the scientific vessel “Kexue” using ROV “Faxian”, more specimens of Alvinocaris longirostris Kikuchi and Ohta, Bathymodiolus platifrons Hashimoto & Okutani, 1994 and Shinkaia crosnieri Baba & Williams, 1998 were collected. The 14 known species of the genus Alvinocaris can be distinguished by the following key with caution as it is designed for identifying adult specimens. The key is modified after Komai & Segonzac’s (2005) key.Published as part of Li, Xinzheng, 2015, Report on two deep-water caridean shrimp species (Crustacea: Decapoda: Caridea: Alvinocarididae, Acanthephyridae) from the northeastern South China Sea, pp. 130-138 in Zootaxa 3911 (1) on pages 132-135, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3911.1.8, http://zenodo.org/record/24050
The Tumuli of the Kikuchi River Watershed（Part 4 : Articles）
No full textapplication/pdf現段階ではマロ塚古墳の場所を特定することは不可能であるが，筆者は少なくとも菊池川中流域付近で，その支流である合志川の左岸付近にこの古墳は存在したであろうと考えている。小論では，このマロ塚古墳を含む菊池川中流域の古墳や横穴墓等の変遷，首長墓の系譜，それに流域一帯の古墳文化の特性について整理を行った。
菊池川を含む肥後地域における主要古墳は13の地域に集中しており，そのうちの関川と菊池川下流域，それに菊池川中流域の三つの地域が肥後全体の中でも主要古墳の分布する地域として注目され，ここでとり上げることとした。詳細に見ていくと，この３地域は，関川流域ではその一群だけが一つの集中地帯であり，菊池川下流域は６地域に，中流域では11地域に細かく地域設定が可能である。以上の18の各小地域において個性的で特徴的な古墳が築造されており，出土遺物にも注目すべきものがある。
その中でもこの地域の古墳文化の特性を①石棺の系譜，②石屋形の系譜，③装飾古墳の分布，④首長墓の分布と地域的まとまり，⑤交通路，の５項目について検討を行い，特にその中でも交通路について詳細にふれた。
すなわち，交通路については（ア）埴輪が運ばれた道，（イ）須恵器が運ばれた道，（ウ）塩が運ばれた道，（エ）切石造り複室構造横穴式石室の伝播，（オ）想定されるいくつかの陸路，など５点にしぼって分析を試みたが，これによって，７世紀後半頃に築かれた鞠智城が交通の要衝としての存在意義がいっそう高まってくることを示した。
菊池川流域の古墳を概観して気づくのは，朝鮮半島を中心とする外来系遺物が集成編年６期の段階において既に菊池川中流域にあたる合志川流域において流入しており，そのような状況の中から豊富な武器・武具をもつマロ塚古墳が現出したのであろうと見られる。At the present time it is impossible to identify the location of the Marozuka Tomb. The author conjectures that the tomb was at least located in the vicinity of the mid-Kikuchi River watershed, near the left bank of the Ko- shi River, a tributary of the Kikuchi River. In this study I focused on the mid- Kikuchi River watershed, hypothesized to include the Marozuka Tomb, charted aspects of the tumuli and horizontal tombs of all phases of the Kofun Period, and examined the mutual relationships (lines) between headman graves and the unique features of tumulus culture in the area of the mid-Kikuchi River watershed. The aim was to conjecture the historical background to the construction of the Marozuka Tomb from a point of view centered on the Kikuchi River watershed.
In the Higo area inclusive of the Kikuchi River, major tumuli are concentrated in thirteen areas. Among them, the three areas of the Seki River, the lower Kikuchi River watershed, and the mid- Kikuchi River watershed are signifi cant as areas of major tumuli distribution. These three areas can be further subdivided into smaller regions, and the characteristics of eighteen such areas were surveyed. It was shown that unique tumuli with distinctive features were constructed in each area, and that they contain grave goods that are worthy of note.
I discussed the features of the tumuli culture in these areas by organizing them into these five categories: (1) the genealogy of stone coffins, (2) the genealogy of stone chambers, (3) the distribution of decorated tumuli, (4) the distribution and regional spheres of headman graves, and (5) transportation routes. I paid particular attention to transportation routes, examining them in detail according to fi ve viewpoints: (a) the roads along which haniwa were transported, (b) the roads along which earthen vessels were transported, (c) the roads along which salt was transported, (d) the dissemination of side-hole stone chambers constructed in multiple rooms of cut stone, and (e) several hypothesized land routes. I point out that an examination of these transportation routes will also explain the signifi cance of the existence of Kikuchijo- , which was built in the latter half of the seventh century after the Kofun Period.
Foreign artifacts mostly imported from the Korean peninsula are found in the Ko - shi River watershed, which is the mid-Kikuchi River watershed in the sixth chronological period of keyhole shaped tumuli. It is thought that with these social conditions were behind the appearance of the Marozuka Tomb with its abundant arms and armor.departmental bulletin pape

Anterior parapod claws simple, forming dense cluster. Procercus and supraanal setae pale-mid brown. Remarks. Type material of Sumatendipes tobaterdecimus was not examined. Recognition, including membership of Conochironomus, is based on the description and drawings of Kikuchi & Sasa (1990), plus images of the holotype male genitalia available at http://www. type.kahaku.go.jp/TypeDB (species name misspelled 'tobaterdecumus'). The anal point of the type appears to differ in shape from Singaporean males, but this may arise from the poor preparation and distortion of the specimen (as too often in material from Sasa’s studies). Identical DNA barcoding COI sequences allow association of an adult male and female from Singapore (above). Larvae of Conochironomus collected from Nee Soon (Singapore) provided no DNA capable of allowing further association; thus, larvae (and pupae) are associated only putatively with C. tobaterdecimus. Later five larval specimens (CP 461 from Bedok reservoir; CP1136, 1137, 1716, 1245 from Upper Seletar Reservoir) yielded barcodes identical to C. tobaterdecimus (GenBank accessions KU 507299, KU 507301 - 3, KU 507305, respectively) but have not been examined by the author. Two larvae sequenced for barcode COI by Pramual et al. (2016, GenBank codes KT 213039 and KT 213040) are less than 1.5 % different from adult C. tobaterdecimus from Singapore. This value lies well within the values of 4–5 % taken to reflect species differences in Tanytarsus (Lin et al. 2015) and found appropriate in Cricotopus (Krosch et al. 2015); this boundary may have applicability across all Chironomidae. Unfortunately vouchers were not retained (P. Pramual, pers. comm. 2015) and morphology had to be derived from photographs of menta. However, further specimens from the same locality have been provided for morphometrics and barcoding, confirming association with C. tobaterdecimus from Singapore.Published as part of Cranston, Peter S., 2016, Conochironomus (Diptera: Chironomidae) in Asia: new and redescribed species and vouchering issues, pp. 315-331 in Zootaxa 4109 (3) on pages 321-325, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4109.3.3, http://zenodo.org/record/25976
Crystallographic Orientation Analysis of Nanocrystalline Tungsten Thin Film Using TEM Precession Electron Diffraction and SEM Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction
No full textTwo advanced, automated crystal orientation mapping techniques suited for nanocrystalline materials - precession electron diffraction (PED) in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and on-axis transmission Kikuchi diffraction (TKD) in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) - are evaluated by comparing the orientation maps obtained from the identical location on a 30 nm-thick nanocrystalline tungsten (W) thin film. A side-by-side comparison of the orientation maps directly showed that the large-scale orientation features are almost identical. However, there are differences in the fine details, which arise from the fundamentally different nature of the spot pattern and Kikuchi line pattern in terms of the excitation volume and the angular resolution. While TEM-PED is more reliable to characterize grains oriented along low-index zone axes, the high angular resolution of SEM-TKD allows the detection of small misorientation between grains and thus yields better quantification and statistical analysis of grain orientation. Given that both TEM-PED and SEM-TKD orientation mapping techniques are complementary tools for nanocrystalline materials, one can be favorably selected depending on the requirements of the analysis, as they have competitive performance in terms of angular resolution and texture quantification.
