TAS-114 has shown both a favorable safety and pharmacokinetic profile after single and repeated doses. TAS-114 was considered to possess a moderate DPD inhibitory effect. These findings will facilitate clinical studies of the combination chemotherapies in cancer patients and may reduce the safety risk in the frail cancer patients.

In this paper, we describe some features of remote memory in a single-case, Y.K., with amnesic syndrome. His ability to access remote memory was investigated through a variety of tests and then analyzed in terms of specific aspects of remote memory, i.e., public events, personal semantic memory, and specific personal episodes. Although Y.K. showed relatively good performance in recalling public events, personal semantic memory, and general personal events, he was not able to recall specific personal episodes over his entire life span. That is, there appears a clear dissociation between recalling specific personal episodes and other aspects of remote memory. This suggests he lacks "richness" in his remote memory, which is probably necessary to maintain one's own identity.

Polycrystalline tin sulfide (SnS) films were grown by sulfurization of Sn precursor at low temperatures of 120–220 °C. The p‐ type conductivity SnS film grown at 170 °C comprises densely packed 3–5‐μm‐diameter columnar grains, which is appropriate for use in photoabsorption layers of solar cells. The SnS film had an optical bandgap of about 1.3 eV. Using an appropriate SnS film, n ‐CdS/p ‐SnS heterojunction was fabricated on Mo‐coated soda‐lime glass substrates. These results are the first step toward realizing an optical device as a solar cell using a SnS film grown using sulfurization. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Case Y.K. has severe anterograde amnesia and a selective loss of specific personal episodes in his remote memories (Hirano & Noguchi, 1998). In this paper, we attempted to analyze remembering (R) and knowing (K) responses, that is, the relationship between autobiographical remembering and remembering accompanied by subjective experience. Although the rate of R responses was significantly higher than that of K responses in control subjects, Y.K.'s R responses were rare in all subtypes of remote memories. Based on these results, we conclude that Y.K.'s memories on autobiographical incident task were not based on episodic memory but rather on semantic memory. Thus, the autobiographical incidents he could recall were not episodic memory, and his semantic memory made him recall information as fact rather than episode.
