Abstract: We present the largest freely available EcoPlate dataset for Japan, comprising data collected from a network of 33 natural forest sites (77 plots) in regions of East Asia ranging from cool temperate to subtropical. EcoPlate is a 96‐well microplate that contains three repeated sets of 31 response wells with different sole carbon substrates. The utilization of each carbon substrate by the microbial community is quantified by the color density of the well during incubation. EcoPlate can provide a multifunctional index of a soil microbial community. Soil properties (water content, carbon [C] and nitrogen [N] contents, the C/N ratio, and pH) that are essential for interpreting the EcoPlate results were also measured. The network is part of the Forest and Grassland Survey of the Monitoring Sites 1000 Project established by the Ministry of the Environment. Using a standardized protocol, soil was sampled between September and December 2020. A preliminary principal component analysis was performed on the temporal integration of color density using 31 substrates. For the temporal integration, we calculated the cumulative amount of color development by integrating the color density development curve. PC1 contributed 55.6% and is thought to represent the magnitude of the overall absorbance of all substrates. The model of environmental factors including elevation and the model of soil properties, including water content and pH, were selected as the best‐fit models for variation in PC1. EcoPlate data enable the meta‐analysis of comparative studies among forest types and testing community ecology and ecosystem function hypotheses at broad spatial scales. The complete data set for this abstract published in the Data Paper section of the journal is available in electronic format in MetaCat in JaLTER at http://db.cger.nies.go.jp/JaLTER/metacat/metacat/ERDP‐2022‐01.1/jalter‐en.

Abstract: Litter and soil organic matter decomposition represents one of the major drivers of carbon and nutrient cycling in a given ecosystem; however, it also contributes to a significant production of relevant greenhouse gasses. The Japanese archipelago spans several biomes (boreal‐temperate‐subtropical) and covers a large range of elevations and ecosystem types. Hence, the comprehension of this fundamental biogeochemical process in diverse ecosystems is crucial to maintain their ecosystem services. In this article, we have provided data on plant leaf decomposition from 33 research sites across Japan. At each site, standard litter material with different decomposition rates, rooibos tea and green tea were incubated for 90 days between 2012 and 2016 and the remaining mass was recorded. In total, 1904 bags were used. In addition, supplementary measurements of environmental variables essential for the interpretation of the collected data, such as soil and vegetation, were recorded. Plot‐level averages of the remaining mass rates of bag contents after incubation ranged 0.17–0.51 for green tea and 0.54–0.82 for rooibos tea. Continued monitoring will also provide important insights into the temporal dynamics of litter decomposition.

Abstract: The semiconductor tracker (SCT) is one of the tracking systems for charged particles in the ATLAS detector. It consists of 4088 silicon strip sensor modules. During Run 2 (2015–2018) the Large Hadron Collider delivered an integrated luminosity of 156 fb -1 to the ATLAS experiment at a centre-of-mass proton-proton collision energy of 13 TeV. The instantaneous luminosity and pile-up conditions were far in excess of those assumed in the original design of the SCT detector. Due to improvements to the data acquisition system, the SCT operated stably throughout Run 2. It was available for 99.9% of the integrated luminosity and achieved a data-quality efficiency of 99.85%. Detailed studies have been made of the leakage current in SCT modules and the evolution of the full depletion voltage, which are used to study the impact of radiation damage to the modules.

Abstract: The effectiveness of desensitization with rituximab in ABO ‐incompatible renal transplantation ( ABO ‐I) has been widely reported. However, ABO ‐I outcomes are still worse than those of ABO ‐identical or ABO ‐compatible renal transplantation ( ABO ‐Id/C). We retrospectively examined the outcomes in consecutive living donor ABO ‐Id/C (n = 412) and ABO ‐I (n = 205) cases to elucidate the causes of inferiority in ABO ‐I. ABO ‐I cases included recipients treated with rituximab ( RIT , n = 131), splenectomy ( SPX , n = 21), or neither because of low anti‐A/B antibody titers (NoR/S, n = 53). Graft survival, infection, and de novo HLA antibody production were compared for ABO ‐I and ABO ‐Id/C, followed by stratification into RIT and NoR/S groups. Propensity score‐based methods were employed to limit selection bias and potential confounders. Overall graft survival for ABO ‐I was significantly lower than that for ABO ‐Id/C (92.8% vs 97.2% after 5 years, P = .0037). Graft loss due to infection with ABO ‐I was significantly more frequent than that with ABO ‐Id/C, whereas acute antibody‐mediated rejection ( AMR ) caused no graft failure in ABO ‐I recipients. Stratified analysis demonstrated significantly higher infection risk with RIT than with NoR/S. Safe reduction or avoidance of rituximab in desensitization protocols might contribute to further improvement of ABO ‐I outcome.

Abstract: Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) face higher risks of life-threatening events including cardiovascular disease. Various risk factors are identified as agents influencing the life prognosis of ESKD patients. Herein, we evaluated the risk factors related to the outcomes of Japanese patients with dialysis induction. We present the study protocol, the patients’ baseline characteristics, and their outcomes. Methods The Ibaraki Dialysis Initiation Cohort (iDIC) Study is a prospective multi-center cohort study in collaboration with 60 tertiary-care facilities in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. We collected baseline data from clinical records and analyzed blood and urine samples of these facilities’ patients with diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, and chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN). The study’s primary outcome was the survival rate at 24 months after dialysis induction. We performed a Kaplan-Meier analysis for cumulative survival and a Cox proportional hazards analysis for all-cause mortality and hospitalization. Results We analyzed 636 patients’ cases (424 males, 212 females, age 67.4 ± 13.1 yrs. [mean ± SD]). We compared the patients’ baseline data with those of similar cohort studies. As the primary kidney disease, 327 cases (51.4%) were diagnosed as diabetic nephropathy, 101 (15.9%) as hypertensive nephrosclerosis, and 114 (17.9%) as CGN. The mean serum creatinine value was 9.1 ± 2.9 mg/dL. The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate was 5.6 ± 1.8 mL/min/1.73m 2 . The cumulative survival rates at 6 months and 24 months after dialysis induction were 95.2 and 87.7%, respectively. The cumulative survival rate was significantly lower with increasing age. A Cox proportional hazards regression analysis demonstrated that high age was significantly associated with all-cause mortality. Conclusions Regarding the clinical characteristics of these newly induced dialysis patients, the same trend as in other cohort studies was observed. Another study is underway to explore prognostic factors based on the iDIC Study’s findings.
