Abstract
BACKGROUND Population aging is increasing and this process together with its characteristics influence the prevalence and incidence of chronic conditions and musculoskeletal-functional outcomes such as frailty, functional disability and sarcopenia. Nutritional strategies focused on dietary patterns, such as a Mediterranean diet, can be protective from these outcomes. PURPOSE To investigate the association between adherence to a Mediterranean diet and frailty, functional disability and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older people. METHODS We systematically reviewed electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and others) and grey literature for articles investigating the relationship between adherence to a Mediterranean diet and frailty, functional disability and sarcopenia in community-dwelling people aged 60 and over. Study selection, quality of study assessment and data extraction were conducted independently by two authors. Random effects meta-analyses were performed, and pooled Odds Ratios (OR) were obtained. RESULTS After the literature search, screening and eligibility investigation, we included 12studies, with a total of 20,518 subjects. A higher adherence to a Mediterranean diet was found to be inversely associated with frailty (OR 0.42, 95% CI: 0.28-0.65, I2=24.9%, p=0.262) and functional disability (OR 0.75, 95% CI: 0.61-0.93, I2=0.0%, p=0.78). Highly different study characteristics prevented us from performing a meta-analysis for sarcopenia. Cohort data indicated no association between adherence to a Mediterranean diet and sarcopenia; however, cross-sectional results showed a positive relationship. CONCLUSION A Mediterranean diet is protective of frailty and functional disability, but not of sarcopenia. More longitudinal studies are needed to understand the relationship between a Mediterranean diet and sarcopenia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that integrates nutrients to execute cell growth and protein synthesis. We hypothesized that mTOR is essential for the intervertebral disc, the largest avascular, low-nutrient organ. Our objective was to elucidate roles of mTOR signaling in human disc cells. DESIGN The mTOR exists in two complexes: mTORC1 containing the regulatory-associated protein of mTOR (RAPTOR) and mTORC2 containing the rapamycin-insensitive companion of mTOR (RICTOR). To analyze their functions in human disc nucleus pulposus cells, RNA interference (RNAi) of mTOR targeting mTORC1 and mTORC2, RAPTOR targeting mTORC1, or RICTOR targeting mTORC2 or rapamycin, a pharmacological mTORC1 inhibitor, was applied. First, mTOR signaling including Akt, p70/ribosomal S6 kinase (p70/S6K), and autophagy were assessed. Then, apoptosis, senescence, and matrix metabolism were evaluated under pro-inflammatory interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) stimulation. RESULTS Western blotting showed significant decreases in specific proteins by each RNAi (all P < 0.0001). In mTOR signaling, RNAi of mTOR and RICTOR decreased p70/S6K and Akt phosphorylation, whereas RAPTOR RNAi decreased p70/S6K but increased Akt phosphorylation. All RNAi treatments increased light chain 3 (LC3)-II and decreased p62/sequestosome 1 (p62/SQSTM1), indicating enhanced autophagy. In apoptosis, IL-1β-induced terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive cells and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and caspase-9 cleavage decreased by RAPTOR RNAi. In senescence, IL-1β-induced senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-β-gal)-positive cells and p16/INK4A expression also decreased by RAPTOR RNAi. In matrix metabolism, RAPTOR RNAi reduced IL-1β-induced catabolic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) release and activation and up-regulated anabolic gene expression. These findings were all consistent with rapamycin administration. Additional disc-tissue analysis detected expression and phosphorylation of mTOR-signaling molecules in varying ages. CONCLUSION Selective interference of mTORC1/RAPTOR protects against inflammation-induced apoptosis, senescence, and matrix catabolism possibly through Akt and autophagy induction in human disc cells.

Abstract
BK polyomavirus (BKPyV) is recognized as a pathogen that causes diseases such as hemorrhagic cystitis and nephritis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or renal transplantation. BKPyV-associated disease is thought to occur through reactivation under immunosuppression. However, the possibility of its nosocomial transmission and the clinical significance of such transmission have not been elucidated. During a 6-month period, nine adult patients (median age: 47 years) who had hematological disorders and who were treated with HSCT (n = 7) or chemotherapy (n = 2) in a single hematology department developed hemorrhagic cystitis due to BKPyV infection. The polymerase chain reaction products of BKPyV DNA obtained from each patient were sequenced. Of the nine patients, six had subtype I, 2 had subtype IV, and 1 had subtype II or III. In the alignment of sequences, four and two of the six subtype I strains were completely homologous (100%). These results strongly suggest that BKPyV has the potential to cause nosocomial infection within a medical facility, especially among recipients of HSCT. Further studies are clearly warranted to elucidate the route(s) of BKPyV transmission in order to establish optimal infection control.

Abstract
Nutritional status is one of the most important issues faced by cancer patients. Several studies have shown that a low preoperative nutritional status is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with various types of cancer, including esophageal cancer (EC). Recently, neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and/or radiotherapy have been accepted as the standard treatment for resectable advanced EC. However, NAC has the potential to deteriorate the nutritional status of a patient. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the nutritional status for EC patients who underwent NAC. We retrospectively reviewed 66 squamous cell EC patients who underwent NAC consisting of docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-fluorouracil followed by subtotal esophagectomy at Nara Medical University Hospital between January 2009 and August 2015. To assess the patients' nutritional status, the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) before commencing NAC and prior to the operation was calculated as 10 × serum albumin (g/dl) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count in the peripheral blood (per mm3). The cutoff value of the PNI was set at 45. A multivariable analysis was performed to identify prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and relapse-free survival (RFS). The mean pre-NAC and preoperative PNI were 50.2 ± 5.7 and 48.1 ± 4.7, respectively (P = 0.005). The PNI decreased following NAC in 44 (66.7%) patients. Before initiating NAC, 9 (13.6%) patients had a low PNI, and 12 (18.2%) patients had a low PNI prior to the operation. The pre-NAC PNI and preoperative PNI were significantly associated with the OS (P = 0.013 and P = 0.004, respectively) and RFS (P = 0.036 and P = 0.005, respectively) rates. The multivariable analysis identified the preoperative PNI as an independent prognostic factor for poor OS and RFS, although the pre-NAC PNI was not an independent predictor. Our results suggest that the preoperative PNI is a useful marker for predicting the long-term outcomes of EC patients undergoing NAC and subsequent subtotal esophagectomy. Therefore, patients with a low preoperative nutritional status may be at a higher risk of EC recurrence.

Abstract
To help understand the three-dimensional (3D) spatial relationships among the highly complex structures of the pelvis, we made a novel 3D pelvic model with a 3D printing system. We created two pelvic models including the muscles, vessels, nerves, and urogenital organs; the first based on the pelvic anatomy of a healthy male volunteer and the second on the pelvic anatomy of a female volunteer with rectal cancer. The models clearly demonstrated the complicated spatial relationships between anatomical structures in the pelvis. Surgeons could use these models to improve their spatial understanding of pelvic anatomy, which could consequently improve the safety and efficiency of laparoscopic rectal cancer surgery.

Abstract
Accelerated release of potassium (K), magnesium (Mg) and phosphorus (P) from surplus activated sludge (SAS) was investigated to develop a new system for the recovery of the elements. Anaerobic cultivation of SAS during 24 h released 78% of K and about 50% of Mg and P from SAS more effectively compared to aerobic cultivation (K: 40%, Mg: 15%, P: 15%). Furthermore, the addition of sodium acetate as an organic carbon source remarkably accelerated the release of K, Mg and P from SAS under anaerobic condition. However, no increase in the maximum release efficiencies was observed. The elements released from SAS could be transferred to separate liquid with the existing mechanical thickener and be recovered as MgKPO4 by some additional process. Furthermore, the removal of the elements from SAS would inhibit the formation of struvite causing the blockage of sludge transport pipe after anaerobic digestion process of thickened sludge.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication of allogenic bone marrow transplantation and involves the infiltration of donor CD4+ and/or CD8+ T cells into various organs of the recipient. The pathological role of human CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in GVHD remains controversial. In this study, we established two novel xenogeneic (xeno)-GVHD models. Human CD4+ or CD8+ T cells were purified from peripheral blood and were transplanted into immunodeficient NOD/Shi-scid IL2rgnull (NOG) mice. Human CD8+ T cells did not induce major GVHD symptoms in conventional NOG mice. However, CD8+ T cells immediately proliferated and induced severe GVHD when transferred into NOG mice together with at least 0.5 × 106 CD4+ T cells or into NOG human interleukin (IL)-2 transgenic mice. Human CD4+ T cell-transplanted NOG mice developed skin inflammations including alopecia, epidermal hyperplasia, and neutrophilia. Pathogenic T helper (Th)17 cells accumulated in the skin of CD4+ T cell-transplanted NOG mice. Further, an anti-human IL-17 antibody (secukinumab) significantly suppressed these skin pathologies. These results indicate that pathogenic human Th17 cells induce cutaneous GVHD via IL-17-dependent pathways. This study provides fundamental insights into the pathogenesis of xeno-GVHD, and these humanized mouse models may be useful as preclinical tools for the prevention of GVHD.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL), MDA-LDL/LDL-cholesterol in serum, and blood pressure are considered useful risk markers of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to examine whether a fermented milk containing Streptococcus thermophilus YIT 2001 (ST), which has high anti-oxidative activity, would benefit healthy and mildly hyper-LDL-cholesterolaemic adults via a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. ST-fermented milk or non-fermented placebo milk (PC) was consumed once a day for 12 weeks by 29 and 30 subjects, respectively, with average serum LDL-cholesterol levels of about 140 mg/dl. Serum levels of LDL-cholesterol and MDA-LDL and blood pressure were analysed before (baseline) and after consumption. Comparisons of the responses between both groups were assessed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA, with the baseline value as the covariate). ANCOVA demonstrated that the ST group had significant reductions in MDA-LDL, MDA-LDL/LDL-cholesterol, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) compared with the PC group during the consumption period (P<0.05). Moreover, stratified analysis revealed that there were significant reductions in MDA-LDL, MDA-LDL/LDL-cholesterol, SBP, and DBP in the ST group compared with the PC group during the consumption period in subjects who had above median (65 U/l) levels of oxidative stress marker MDA-LDL at baseline (P<0.05), but not in subjects with levels below the median. These findings suggest that daily consumption of ST-fermented milk may be beneficial in healthy or mildly hyper-LDL cholesterolaemic subjects through reductions in risk marker values of oxidative stress and/or cardiovascular diseases. The benefits were particularly remarkable in subjects who had higher levels of MDA-LDL.

Abstract
This study examined whether feeding hydroalcoholic extract of Lepidium meyenii (maca) to 8-week-old (sexually maturing) or 18-week-old (mature) male rats for more than a half year affects serum testosterone concentration and testosterone production by Leydig cells cultured with hCG, 22R-hydroxycholesterol or pregnenolone. Testosterone concentration was determined in the serum samples obtained before and 6, 12, 18 and 24 weeks after the feeding, and it was significantly increased only at the 6 weeks in the group fed with the maca extract to maturing rats when it was compared with controls. Testosterone production by Leydig cells significantly increased when cultured with hCG by feeding the maca extract to maturing rats for 27 weeks (35 weeks of age) and when cultured with 22R-hydroxycholesterol by feeding it to mature rats for 30 weeks (48 weeks of age). Overall testosterone production by cultured Leydig cells decreased to about a half from 35 to 48 weeks of age. These results suggest that feeding the maca extract for a long time to male rats may enhance the steroidogenic ability of Leydig cells to alleviate its decline with ageing, whereas it may cause only a transient increase in blood testosterone concentration in sexually maturing male rats.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is not necessarily linked to long-term survival. Response to chemotherapy and outcomes after NAC differ among breast cancer subtypes, so we analyzed prognostic factors by subtype.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 451 patients treated with anthracycline and taxane-based NAC between 2007 and 2015. Trastuzumab was added for human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive breast cancer. pCR was defined as no residual invasive breast carcinoma; noninvasive residuals and infiltrated lymph nodes were allowed. In our institute, mastectomy was performed in patients in whom the breast could not be preserved, such as patients with large residual tumors and diffusely spread tumors throughout the breast after NAC. Kaplan–Meier and univariate and multivariate cox regression analyses were used to evaluate disease-free interval (DFI) and DFI prognostic values, respectively.
Results: Median follow-up was 43 months; median age was 56 (range, 23–88) years. The 3-year DFI and OS were 82.1% and 94.4%, respectively. In total, 85 patients had recurrence (18.8%) and 31 patients died (6.9%). Response rate (RR) was 93.4% (421/457).pCR rate was 26.2% (118/451) in all cases: 0% (0/82), luminal A; 10.9% (14/128), luminal B HER2(−); 43.1% (31/71), luminal B HER2(+); 59.4% (38/64), HER2; and 34% (36/106), triple negative (TN). For all subtypes, patients who achieved pCR had a non-significantly higher DFI.
Multivariate cox regression showed these associations with DFI: surgery type and Ki-67 > 30% for all cases and luminal B HER2(-); ypN (lymph node status after NAC), luminal B HER2(+);ypN and menopausal status, HER2; and age, surgery type, and clinical lymph node status (cN), TN.
Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that surgery type was strongly associated with DFI after NAC. Mastectomy patients had significantly poorer prognoses than partial mastectomy patients for all subtypes except HER2. For all cases, the median DFI in mastectomy patients was 73 months, but DFI was not reached in partial mastectomy patients (p < 0.0001). Compared with partial mastectomy patients, mastectomy patients had more advanced disease in terms of tumor size, lymph node status, and stage and showed lesser clinical and pathological responses to NAC and effects on ypN. Furthermore, first recurrences in mastectomy patients were often distant metastases, leading to poor prognosis.
Moreover, we analyzed the prognostic factors in 118 patients who achieved pCR. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed the association of the following with DFI: age (≤40, >40), cN, stage, surgery type, and ypN for all cases; decreasing Ki-67 values after NAC, luminal B HER2(−); clinical tumor size (cT), cN, surgery type, and luminal B HER2(+); ypN and HER2; age (≤40, >40), cN, stage, surgery type, and TN. In multivariate cox regression analysis, age (≤40, >40), surgery type, and ypN were independent predicting factors for all cases.
Conclusions: Prognostic factors after NAC differ among subtypes. Surgery type was strongly associated with outcomes after NAC, so it could be an independent prognostic factor.

Abstract
Abstract
【Background】
Contrast Enhanced Subtraction Mammography (CESM) has gained worldwide popularity. It is said that CESM can not only identify tumors but also delineate high-density lesions of the mammary gland that are difficult to be identified by normal mammography (MMG), as well as intraductal progress, and tumor hemodynamics.
一In general, imaging is commenced two minutes after injection of the contrast medium, and is conducted in two directions, i.e., left to right craniocaudal view and mediolateral oblique view in the similar manner to the normal MMG.
【Subjects and purpose】
The study was performed upon the approval of the institutional review board, and included 70 patients who had undergone CESM during the nine-month period from August 2015 to April 2016 using the method that MMG was performed within 2-8 minutes after injection of the contrast medium during contrast enhanced computed tomography. The scan was performed as postoperative follow-up in 29 patients, and as preoperative testing in 41 patients. This method allowed us to obtain additional data with contrast imaging without placing financial burden on the patient, and we investigated whether this method was effective as CESM in the present study.
【Results】
Of the 41 patients who had undergone the scan as a preoperative test (bilateral scans in 3 patients, and 44 breasts), it was in 43 breasts (97.7 %) that lesions could be identified by MMG, and in 42 breasts (95.5 %) that lesions could be identified by CESM. Of the 44 breasts, three breasts showed high-density mammary glands, in two of which the mass was lateral to the margin of the mammary gland, and therefore could be identified by normal MMG; however, in one breast the mass was medial to the margin of the mammary gland and difficult to be identified by MMG, and could only be identified by CESM. The lesions in the two breasts that were difficult to be identified by CESM exhibited the histological type of DCIS, and the lesions were able to be identified as calcification with normal MMG.
The tumor diameter was compared using invasion size determined by CESM, contrast-enhanced MRI, and postoperative pathological specimen, respectively. The correlation coefficient for CESM and contrast-enhanced MRI was 0.9668, and the correlation coefficient for CESM and postoperative pathological specimen was 0.984887, with a strong correlation observed (Pearson's correlation coefficient test).
【Conclusion】
To the best of our knowledge, no reports of CESM in which MMG is performed immediately after contrast-enhanced CT have been published to date, and thus this is the world's first attempt of such method performed at our hospital. CESM ensures diagnosability without being invasive or placing financial burden on the patient. It was suggested that CESM can be clinically useful particularly for those who cannot undergo contrast-enhanced MRI due to hardware problems, financial difficulties, or metal embedded within the body.

Abstract
In a 2-year randomized, placebo-controlled study of 665 Japanese patients with primary osteoporosis, once-yearly administration of zoledronic acid (5 mg) reduced the risk of new morphometric vertebral fractures. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of once-yearly intravenous infusion of ZOL in Japanese patients with primary osteoporosis. METHODS This was a two-year multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group comparative study (ZONE Study). Subjects were 665 Japanese patients between the ages of 65 and 89 years who had prevalent vertebral fracture. Subjects were randomly assigned to receive once-yearly intravenous infusion of 5 mg of ZOL or placebo at baseline and 12 months. RESULTS The 2-year incidence of new morphometric vertebral fracture was 3.0 % (10/330 subjects) in the ZOL group and 8.9 % (29/327) in the placebo group (p = 0.0016). The 24-month cumulative incidence of new morphometric vertebral fracture was 3.3 % in the ZOL group versus 9.7 % in the placebo group (log-rank test: p = 0.0029; hazard ratio: 0.35; 95 % confidence interval: 0.17-0.72). The cumulative incidence of any clinical fracture, clinical vertebral fracture, and non-vertebral fracture was significantly reduced in the ZOL group by 54, 70, and 45 %, respectively, compared to the placebo group. At 24 months, ZOL administration increased bone mineral density in the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip (t test: p < 0.0001). No new adverse events or osteonecrosis of the jaw were observed in this study. CONCLUSIONS Once-yearly administration of ZOL 5 mg to Japanese patients with primary osteoporosis reduced the risk of new morphometric vertebral fractures and was found to be safe.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine is based on stem cells, signals, and scaffolds. Dental pulp tissue has the potential to regenerate dentin in response to noxious stimuli, such as caries. The progenitor/stem cells are responsible for this regeneration. Thus, stem cell therapy has considerable promise in dentin regeneration. Culture of porcine pulp cells, as a three-dimensional pellet, promoted odontoblast differentiation compared with monolayers. The expression of dentin sialophosphoprotein (Dspp) and enamelysin/matrix metalloproteinase 20 (MMP20) mRNA confirmed the differentiation of pulp cells into odontoblasts and was stimulated by the morphogenetic signal, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2). Based on the in vitro experiments, an in vivo evaluation of pulp progenitor/stem cells in the dog was performed. The autogenous transplantation of the BMP2-treated pellet culture onto the amputated pulp stimulated reparative dentin formation. In conclusion, BMP2 can direct pulp progenitor/stem cell differentiation into odontoblasts and result in dentin formation.

Abstract
Chromosomal rearrangements of the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL/KMT2A) gene leading to oncogenic MLL-fusion proteins occur in ~10% of acute leukemias and are associated with poor clinical outcomes, emphasizing the need for new treatment modalities. Inhibition of the DOT1-like histone H3K79 methyltransferase (DOT1L) is a specific therapeutic approach for such leukemias that is currently being tested in clinical trials. However, in most MLL-rearranged leukemia models responses to DOT1L inhibitors are limited. Here, we performed deep-coverage short hairpin RNA sensitizer screens in DOT1L inhibitor-treated MLL-rearranged leukemia cell lines and discovered that targeting additional nodes of MLL complexes concomitantly with DOT1L inhibition bears great potential for superior therapeutic results. Most notably, combination of a DOT1L inhibitor with an inhibitor of the MLL-Menin interaction markedly enhanced induction of differentiation and cell killing in various MLL disease models including primary leukemia cells, while sparing normal hematopoiesis and leukemias without MLL rearrangements. Gene expression analysis on human and murine leukemic cells revealed that target genes of MLL-fusion proteins and MYC were suppressed more profoundly upon combination treatment. Our findings provide a strong rationale for a novel targeted combination therapy that is expected to improve therapeutic outcomes in patients with MLL-rearranged leukemia.
