23 meV energy and 66.12% at 1.10 meV energy. The secondary gamma rays were found to increase by 94.17% at 0.23 meV energy and 63.74% at 1.10 meV energy. The encapsulation of the source attenuated the gamma rays, which altered the spectrum. The mean energy of the beam increased, thereby exhibiting a beam-hardening effect.
Currently, data on pathogenic variants in the CHEK2 gene and their impact on cancer risk are lacking. This study aimed to explore the characteristics of breast cancer (BC) patients from families with CHEK2 pathogenic variants in Slovenia.
In the years 2014 to 2019, CHEK2 pathogenic variants/likely pathogenic variants (PV/LPVs) were found in probands from 50 different families who underwent genetic counseling and testing using a multigene panel at the authors' institution. Altogether, the study enrolled 75 individuals from 50 CHEK2 families who were carriers of a CHEK2 PV/LPV. The clinical data on 41 BC patients with CHEK2 PV/LPV and other carriers of CHEK2 PV/LPV from Slovenia were collected and analyzed.
Breast cancer was diagnosed in 41 of 75 CHEK2 PV/LPV carriers (40 females, 1 male). The mean age at BC diagnosis was 42.8years (range, 21-63years), and 27 (65.8%) of the 41 of patients with BC had a positive family history for BC. Contralateral BC (CBC) was observed in 8 (19.5%) of the 41 patients (mean age, 55.6years). Of 12 patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive tumor type, a c.444+1G > A PV/LPV was detected in 4 patients, c.349A > G in 3 patients, deletion of exons 9-10 in 3 patients, deletion of exon 8 in 1 patient, and c.1427C > T PV/LPV in 1 patient.
Bilateral BC was diagnosed in as many as 19.5% of the Slovenian BC patients with CHEK2 PV/LPVs. Breast cancer associated with a germline CHEK2 PV/LPV occurs in younger patients compared with sporadic BC.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy after esophageal resection is technically difficult, because blood flow of the gastric conduit should be preserved. Celiac axis stenosis (CAS) is also a problem for pancreaticoduodenectomy, because arterial blood supply for the liver comes mainly through the collateral route from the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) via the gastroduodenal artery (GDA). Herein, we report the case of a patient with pancreatic head cancer who underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy after esophagectomy with concomitant CAS.
A 76-year-old man with pancreatic head cancer was referred to our department. He had a history of esophagectomy with retrosternal gastric conduit reconstruction for esophageal cancer. Computed tomography showed severe CAS and a dilated collateral route between the SMA and the splenic artery (SPA). We prepared several surgical options depending on the intraoperative findings, and performed radical pancreaticoduodenectomy with concomitant resection of the distal gastric conduit. The right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA) of the remnant gastric conduit was fed from the left middle colic artery (MCA) with microvascular anastomosis. Despite CAS, when the GDA was dissected and clamped, good blood flow was confirmed, and the proper hepatic artery did not require reconstruction. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 90.
We successfully performed radical pancreaticoduodenectomy after esophagectomy with concomitant CAS, having prepared multiple surgical options depending upon the intraoperative findings.

I-15-(p-iodophenyl)-3(R,S)-methylpentadecanoic acid ([
I]BMIPP), a fatty acid analog, is widely used for the diagnosis of cardiac diseases. Feeding condition is one of the important factors in the myocardial fatty acid uptake, which may also affect myocardial accumulation of [
I]BMIPP and image quality of [
I]BMIPP scintigraphy. However, the relationship between the myocardial accumulation of [
I]BMIPP and the feeding condition is not entirely clear. Therefore, we determined the myocardial accumulation of [
I]BMIPP in mice at various metabolic statuses induced by fasting in comparison with the hepatic accumulation.
Fed or fasted (6-, 12-, and 24-h fasted) mice were intravenously injected with [
I]BMIPP (35.2-75.0kBq, 4nmol). Radioactivities in the heart and liver were measured at 1, 5, 10, 30, 60, and 120min after the injection (n = 5-15/time point for each group), and then, the heart-to-liver (H/L) ratios were calculated.
The myocardial accumulation level of [
I]BMIPP in the fed group was almostontrast images in myocardial [123I]BMIPP scintigraphy.The strawberry blossom weevil (SBW), Anthonomus rubi, is a major pest in strawberry fields throughout Europe. Traps baited with aggregation pheromone are used for pest monitoring. However, a more effective lure is needed. For a number of pests, it has been shown that the attractiveness of a pheromone can be enhanced by host plant volatiles. The goal of this study was to explore floral volatile blends of different strawberry species (Fragaria x ananassa and Fragaria vesca) to identify compounds that might be used to improve the attractiveness of existing lures for SBW. Floral emissions of F. x a. varieties Sonata, Beltran, Korona, and of F. vesca, were collected by both solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and dynamic headspace sampling on Tenax. Analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry showed the floral volatiles of F. x ananassa. and F. Vismodegib concentration vesca were dominated by aromatic compounds and terpenoids, with 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (p-anisaldehyde) and α-muurolene the major compounds produced by the two species, respectively. Multi-dimensional scaling analyses separated the blends of the two species and explained differences between F. vesca genotypes and, to some degree, variation between F. x ananassa varieties In two-choice behavioral tests, SBW preferred odors of flowering strawberry plants to those of non-flowering plants, but weevils did not discriminate between odors from F. x ananassa and F. vesca flowering plants. Adding blends of six synthetic flower volatiles to non-flowering plants of both species increased the preference of SBW for these over the plants alone. When added individually to non-flowering plants, none of the components increased the preference of SBW, indicating a synergistic effect. However, SBW responded to 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, a major component of volatiles from F. viridis, previously found to synergize the attractiveness of the SBW aggregation pheromone in field studies.
