    A 62-year-old man perceived skin itch and general fatigue from September 2009. He had pointed out liver dysfunction in blood examination and introduced to our hospital. In our hospital, blood examination revealed the elevation of the CK level. He has been recognized erythema from frontal to parietal area of head and symmetric edematous erythema in nasal and buccal area. In addition, he was shown reddish purple edematous erythema of the upper eyelid and desquamative erythema on the dorsal hands. We performed skin biopsy and diagnosed dermatomyositis. Because his symptom of the dermatomyositis was slight, we did not give the steroid therapy. No abnormalities was pointed out in other physical views. Other organs must be examined because this dermal disease is often related to the complication of malignant tumors. He was diagnosed gastric cancer at anterior wall of cardia part of stomach by gastrointestinal fiber. Since the abnormal findings were not pointed out in chest CT and colonoscopy, we decided to treat gastric tumor prior to the skin disorder. We performed total gastrectomy and reconstructed by Roux-en Y method. The skin symptom of the patient was improved after surgery. It was reported that skin symptom was relieved by resection of tumor. Some cases of dermatomyositis emerge without muscular manifestations, and these cases are termed amyopathic dermatomyositis. We reported case of gastric cancer with amyopathic dermatomyositis suggesting improvement of skin symptom by resection of tumor.

    Delivery of channelrhodopsin-2 and halorhodopsin to the cell membrane and activation by specific wavelengths of light (peak absorbance of about 460 nm and 570 nm) result in neuronal depolarization and hyperpolarization, respectively. In this study, adeno-associated viral vectors with either channelrhodopsin-2 fused with GFP (ChR2-GFP) or halorhodopsin fused with mCherry (HaloR-mCherry), capable of expressing light sensitive cation channels or chloride pumps, respectively, were delivered into the dorsal cochlear nucleus. Channelrhodopsin-2 and halorhodopsin can be expressed in all layers of the dorsal cochlear nucleus using our method of delivery. Using light with a wavelength compatible with channelrhodopsin-2 activation, responses are evoked and recorded from the dorsal cochlear nucleus neurons. However, the responses were depend­ent upon the light intensity with little depolarization observed with lower intensity light.
