Abstract
Background Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (DLBCL-NOS), is the most frequent type of lymphoid neoplasm. Methods We investigated the relationships between clinical factors of DLBCL-NOS and MYC immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. Results A total of 110 patients diagnosed with DLBCL-NOS from 2012 to 2020 at Tottori University Hospital and treated with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy were included. IHC staining of MYC in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor specimens was performed, and ROC-curve analysis revealed the cut-off value of the MYC positive rate as 55%. The 2-year overall survival (OS) rates of the MYC-negative and -positive groups were 84.7% vs 57.7% (P = 0.0091), and the progression-free survival rates were 77.8% vs 54.7% (P = 0.016), respectively. Multivariate analysis for OS showed prognostic significance of MYC positivity [hazards ratio (HR): 2.496; P = 0.032], and serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) > 2000 U/mL (HR: 3.950; P = 0.0019), as well as age > 75 (HR: 2.356; P = 0.068). The original scoring system was developed based on these findings. By assigning one point to each item, age (> 75), MYC positivity, and sIL-2R level (> 2000), all patients were classified into three risk categories: group 1 (0 points), group 2 (1 point), and group 3 (2-3 points). The 2-year survival rates were 100%, 83.0%, and 47.1% for the groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively (P < 0.0001). Conclusion We suggest that a prognostic scoring system using MYC expression and soluble interleukin receptor -2 level is useful for the prediction of prognosis, contributing to further stratification in DLBCL-NOS.

Abstract
Diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most frequent subtype of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma. High total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) calculated using 18F‐FDG PET/CT images at diagnosis predicts poor prognosis of patients with DLBCL. However, high cost and poor access to the imaging facilities hamper wider use of 18F‐FDG PET/CT. In order to explore a surrogate marker for TMTV, we evaluated the correlation between the serum levels of soluble interleukin‐2 receptor (sIL‐2R) and TMTV in 64 patients with DLBCL, and the results were verified in an independent validation cohort of 86 patients. Serum levels of sIL‐2R were significantly correlated with TMTV. ROC analysis revealed that the cutoff value of TMTV ≥150 cm3 or sIL‐2R ≥ 1300 U/mL could predict failure to achieve EFS24 with areas under the curve (AUC) 0.706 and 0.758, respectively. Each of TMTV ≥150 cm3 and sIL‐2R ≥1300 U/mL was significantly associated with worse 5‐year overall survival and event‐free survival. Importantly, each of sIL‐2R <1300 U/mL or TMTV <150 cm3 identified patients with favorable prognosis among NCCN‐IPI high‐intermediate and high‐risk group. Serum level of sIL‐2R represents a convenient surrogate marker to estimate metabolic tumor burden measured by 18F‐FDG PET/CT that can predict treatment outcomes of patients with DLBCL.

Abstract
Purpose To elucidate the management and outcomes of patients with extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL), who were diagnosed between 2000 and 2013 in Japan. Patients and Methods Data from 358 patients with ENKL diagnosed between 2000 and 2013 from 31 institutes were retrospectively analyzed. Results Patients’ median age was 58 years, and 257 (72%) had localized disease. The most common first-line treatment was radiotherapy with dexamethasone, etoposide, ifosfamide, and carboplatin (RT-DeVIC) (66%) for localized ENKL and L-asparaginase–containing chemotherapy (30%) for advanced ENKL. With a median follow-up of 5.8 years, overall survival (OS) rates at 5 years for localized and advanced ENKL were 68% and 24%, respectively. The prognostic index of natural killer lymphoma was validated in our study, although only 4% of patients with localized ENKL were classified as high risk. With a median follow-up of 5.6 years, OS and progression-free survival at 5 years in the 150 patients who received RT-DeVIC in clinical practice were 72% (95% CI, 63% to 78%) and 61% (95% CI, 52% to 69%), respectively. Toxicities of RT-DeVIC were comparable to those in a previous trial. Multivariate analysis in patients with localized ENKL who received RT-DeVIC identified elevated soluble interleukin-2 receptor as an independent predictive factor for worse OS and progression-free survival (adjusted hazard ratios, 2.28 and 2.46; 95% CI, 1.24 to 4.23 and 1.42 to 4.28; P = .008 and .0014, respectively). Conclusion Favorable OS in response to new treatments was demonstrated in a large number of patients. Improved treatment approaches are needed for localized ENKL exhibiting elevated pretreatment soluble interleukin-2 receptor.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to elucidate the function of circulating follicular helper T (Tfh) cell subsets in helping B cells in patients with active, untreated IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) and determine their relationship with disease activity. Methods Seventeen consecutive patients with active, untreated IgG4-RD, 20 with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS), 5 with multicentric Castleman’s disease (MCD), and 12 healthy controls (HC) were enrolled. Tfh cell subset function was evaluated by co-culture with naïve B cells in vitro. Activated Tfh cell subsets were defined as a CCR7lowPD-1high subset among Tfh cell subsets. Disease activity was evaluated by IgG4-RD responder index (IgG4-RD RI) score. Results The number of Tfh2 cells was significantly higher in IgG4-RD compared to pSS, MCD, or HC, and correlated with serum IgG4 level or the number of plasmablasts. In vitro, Tfh2 cells more efficiently induced the differentiation of naïve B cells into plasmablasts compared to Tfh1 or Tfh17 cells. Of note, while IgG production in culture supernatants of Tfh2 cells was comparable between IgG4-RD and HC, IgG4 production was significantly higher with Tfh2 cells from patients with IgG4-RD than in those from HC. Accordingly, the IgG4:IgG ratio in culture supernatants was also significantly higher with Tfh2 cells from IgG4-RD compared to HC. Moreover, the number of activated Tfh2 cells was higher in IgG4-RD compared to pSS, MCD, or HC, and strongly correlated with IgG4-RD RI score in the baseline active phase. Particularly, the number of activated Tfh2 cells was associated with the number of affected organs and serum IgG4 level. Importantly, the number of activated Tfh2 cells was decreased after glucocorticoid treatment and paralleled disease improvement. Moreover, the number of activated Tfh1 cells was also increased in IgG4-RD compared to pSS, MCD, or HC, correlating with IgG4-RD RI score, but not with serum IgG4 level. Conclusions Tfh2 cells, but not Tfh1 or Tfh17 cells, induce the differentiation of naïve B cells into plasmablasts and enhanced production of IgG4 in patients with active, untreated IgG4-RD. Furthermore, activated Tfh2 cells reflect disease activity, suggesting the involvement of this T cell subset in the pathogenesis of IgG4-RD. Interestingly, the number of activated Tfh1 cells was also increased in IgG4-RD, correlating with disease activity but not with serum IgG4 level, suggesting the involvement of Tfh1 cells but not in the process of IgG4 production in patients with IgG4-RD.
