Abstract
The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with gastric cancer (GC), published in late 2022 and the updated ESMO Gastric Cancer Living Guideline published in July 2023, were adapted in August 2023, according to previously established standard methodology, to produce the Pan-Asian adapted (PAGA) ESMO consensus guidelines for the management of Asian patients with GC. The adapted guidelines presented in this manuscript represent the consensus opinions reached by a panel of Asian experts in the treatment of patients with GC representing the oncological societies of China (CSCO), Indonesia (ISHMO), India (ISMPO), Japan (JSMO), Korea (KSMO), Malaysia (MOS), the Philippines (PSMO), Singapore (SSO), Taiwan (TOS) and Thailand (TSCO), coordinated by ESMO and the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO). The voting was based on scientific evidence and was independent of the current treatment practices, drug access restrictions and reimbursement decisions in the different Asian regions represented by the 10 oncological societies. The latter are discussed separately in the manuscript. The aim is to provide guidance for the optimisation and harmonisation of the management of patients with GC across the different regions of Asia, drawing on the evidence provided by both Western and Asian trials, whilst respecting the differences in screening practices, molecular profiling and age and stage at presentation. Attention is drawn to the disparity in the drug approvals and reimbursement strategies, between the different regions of Asia.

Abstract
The most recent version of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of localised colon cancer was published in 2020. It was decided by both the ESMO and the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO) to convene a special virtual guidelines meeting in March 2021 to adapt the ESMO 2020 guidelines to take into account the ethnic differences associated with the treatment of localised colon cancer in Asian patients. These guidelines represent the consensus opinions reached by experts in the treatment of patients with localised colon cancer representing the oncological societies of Japan (JSMO), China (CSCO), India (ISMPO), Korea (KSMO), Malaysia (MOS), Singapore (SSO) and Taiwan (TOS). The voting was based on scientific evidence and was independent of the current treatment practices and drug availability and reimbursement situations in the different Asian countries.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family is overexpressed in the tumor microenvironment and induces tumor angiogenesis.1 VEGF signaling pathway (VSP) inhibitors are essential therapeutic drugs for solid cancer patients.2 However, VSP inhibitors often provoke drug-specific anti-angiogenesis in normal tissues, which was referred to as on-target toxicity.2 Hypertension (HTN) is one of the most frequent adverse events caused by VSP inhibitors. A previous report demonstrated that VSP inhibitor-induced hypertension is a favorable prognostic factor, contrarily.3However, multiple VSP inhibitors are administered in various cancer types, and then the relation between VSP inhibitor-associated hypertension and clinical outcome is still controversial.
Purpose
The aim of this study is to elucidate the impacts of HTN and the timing of onset on clinical outcome during cancer therapy with VSP inhibitors.
Method
We reviewed 2,348 patients who were treated with VSP inhibitors from the LIFE Study database, consisting of 14 municipality-level information from claims data between 2016 and 2020. According to the timing of HTN onset mode, the patients were stratified into 3 groups; (1) new-onset HTN group (n=334): de novo development after VSP inhibitor administration, (2) pre-existing HTN group (n=1,363): existing HTN at baseline, including aggravation after VSP inhibitor initiation, and (3) no HTN group (n=651) (Figure 1). The time to treatment failure (TTF) was applied as a surrogate clinical indicator of overall survival. Event-free survival analysis with the log-rank test was conducted for time to first treatment failure amongst the 3 groups. In addition, Cox proportional hazard models adjusted with clinical characteristics were performed to investigate independent factors for TTF.
Results
In the event-free survival analysis, both the new-onset HTN and the pre-existing HTN were associated with prolongation of TTF, compared to the non-HTN (p<0.001 and p<0.001, respectively, by Bonferroni correction) (Figure 2). The New-onset HTN was significantly associated with longer TTF than pre-existing HTN (p<0.001). In Cox proportional hazard model adjusted with age, sex, past medical history, primary cancer lesion, and type of VSP inhibitors, the new-onset HTN and the pre-existing HTN were independent favorable factors, compared to the non-HTN [new-onset HTN: Hazard ratio (HR) 0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.54 - 0.71, p<0.001; and pre-existing HTN: HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.77 - 0.94, p<0.005]. Moreover, the New-onset HTN was also a significant factor for longer TTF, compared to the pre-existing HTN [HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.64 - 0.82, p<0.001].
Conclusion
In patients treated with VSP inhibitors, both new-onset and pre-existing HTN are independent factors for a favorable clinical outcome, especially new-onset HTN after VSP inhibitors administration.

Abstract
A Japan Society of Clinical Oncology (JSCO)-hosted expert meeting was held in Japan on 27 October 2019, which comprised experts from the JSCO, the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO), the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and the Taiwan Oncology Society (TOS). The purpose of the meeting was to focus on what we have learnt from both microsatellite instability (MSI)/deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) biomarkers in predicting the efficacy of anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1)/programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) immunotherapy, and the neurotrophic tyrosine receptor kinase (NTRK) gene fusions in predicting the efficacy of inhibitors of the tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) proteins across a range of solid tumour types. The recent regulatory approvals of the anti-PD-1 antibody pembrolizumab and the TRK inhibitors larotrectinib and entrectinib, based on specific tumour biomarkers rather than specific tumour type, have heralded a paradigm shift in cancer treatment approaches. The purpose of the meeting was to develop international expert consensus recommendations on the use of such tumour-agnostic treatments in patients with solid tumours. The aim was to generate a reference document for clinical practice, for pharmaceutical companies in the design of clinical trials, for ethics committees in the approval of clinical trial protocols and for regulatory authorities in relation to drug approvals, with a particular emphasis on diagnostic testing and patient selection.

Abstract
The most recent version of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of oesophageal cancer was published in 2016, and covered the management and treatment of local/locoregional disease, limited disease, locally advanced disease and the management of advanced/metastatic disease. At the ESMO Asia Meeting in November 2017 it was decided by both ESMO and the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO) to convene a special guidelines meeting immediately after the JSMO Annual Meeting in 2018. The aim was to adapt the ESMO 2016 guidelines to take into account the ethnic differences associated with the treatment of metastatic oesophageal cancer in Asian patients. These guidelines represent the consensus opinions reached by experts in the treatment of patients with metastatic oesophageal cancer representing the oncological societies of Japan (JSMO), China (CSCO), Korea (KSMO), Malaysia (MOS), Singapore (SSO) and Taiwan (TOS). The voting was based on scientific evidence, and was independent of both the current treatment practices and the drug availability and reimbursement situations in the individual participating Asian countries.

Abstract
The most recent version of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of gastric cancer (GC) was published in 2016, and covered the management and treatment of local, locoregional, locally advanced and metastatic disease. At the ESMO Asia Meeting in November 2017 it was decided by both ESMO and The Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO) to convene a special guidelines meeting immediately after the JSMO Annual Meeting in 2018. The aim was to adapt the ESMO 2016 guidelines to take into account the ethnic differences associated with the treatment of metastatic GC in Asian patients. These guidelines represent the consensus opinions reached by experts in the treatment of patients with metastatic GC representing the oncological societies of Japan (JSMO), China (CSCO), Korea (KSMO), Malaysia (MOS), Singapore (SSO) and Taiwan (TOS). The voting was based on scientific evidence and was independent of both the current treatment practices and the drug availability and reimbursement situations in the individual participating Asian countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND FOLFIRI and FOLFOX have shown equivalent efficacy for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), but their comparative effectiveness is unknown when combined with bevacizumab. PATIENTS AND METHODS WJOG4407G was a randomized, open-label, phase III trial conducted in Japan. Patients with previously untreated mCRC were randomized 1:1 to receive either FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab (FOLFIRI + Bev) or mFOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab (mFOLFOX6 + Bev), stratified by institution, adjuvant chemotherapy, and liver-limited disease. The primary end point was non-inferiority of FOLFIRI + Bev to mFOLFOX6 + Bev in progression-free survival (PFS), with an expected hazard ratio (HR) of 0.9 and non-inferiority margin of 1.25 (power 0.85, one-sided α-error 0.025). The secondary end points were response rate (RR), overall survival (OS), safety, and quality of life (QoL) during 18 months. This trial is registered to the University Hospital Medical Information Network, number UMIN000001396. RESULTS Among 402 patients enrolled from September 2008 to January 2012, 395 patients were eligible for efficacy analysis. The median PFS for FOLFIRI + Bev (n = 197) and mFOLFOX6 + Bev (n = 198) were 12.1 and 10.7 months, respectively [HR, 0.905; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.723-1.133; P = 0.003 for non-inferiority]. The median OS for FOLFIRI + Bev and mFOLFOX6 + Bev were 31.4 and 30.1 months, respectively (HR, 0.990; 95% CI 0.785-1.249). The best overall RRs were 64% for FOLFIRI + Bev and 62% for mFOLFOX6 + Bev. The common grade 3 or higher adverse events were leukopenia (11% in FOLFIRI + Bev/5% in mFOLFOX6 + Bev), neutropenia (46%/35%), diarrhea (9%/5%), febrile neutropenia (5%/2%), peripheral neuropathy (0%/22%), and venous thromboembolism (6%/2%). The QoL assessed by FACT-C (TOI-PFC) and FACT/GOG-Ntx was favorable for FOLFIRI + Bev during 18 months. CONCLUSION FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab was non-inferior for PFS, compared with mFOLFOX6 plus bevacizumab, as the first-line systemic treatment for mCRC. CLINICAL TRIALS NUMBER UMIN000001396.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Five-weekly S-1 plus cisplatin (SP5) is one of the standard first-line regimens for advanced gastric cancer (GC), proven in a Japanese phase III study. To enhance the dose intensity of cisplatin, 3-weekly S-1 plus cisplatin (SP3) was developed. PATIENTS AND METHODS This multicenter, randomized, open-label, phase III study evaluated whether SP3 (S-1 80 mg/m(2)/day on days 1-14 and cisplatin 60 mg/m(2) on day 1) was noninferior/superior to SP5 (S-1 80-120 mg/day on days 1-21 and cisplatin 60 mg/m(2) on day 1 or 8) in terms of progression-free survival (PFS). Chemotherapy-naive patients with metastatic, recurrent gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma were randomized 1 : 1 to receive either SP3 or SP5. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00915382). RESULTS Between February 2009 and January 2012, 625 patients were randomized at 42 sites in Korea and Japan. With a median follow-up duration of 32.4 months (range, 13.3-48.6 months) in surviving patients, SP3 was not only noninferior but also superior to SP5 in terms of PFS [median 5.5 versus 4.9 months; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.82; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.68-0.99; P = 0.0418 for superiority). There was no difference in overall survival (OS) between the groups (median 14.1 versus 13.9 months; HR = 0.99; 95% CI 0.81-1.21; P = 0.9068). In patients with measurable disease, the response rates were 60% in the SP3 arm and 50% in the SP5 arm (P = 0.065). Both regimens were generally well tolerated, but grade 3 or higher anemia (19% versus 9%) and neutropenia (39% versus 9%) were more frequent in SP3. CONCLUSIONS SP3 is superior to SP5 in terms of PFS. However, since the improvement in PFS was only slight and there was no difference in OS, both SP3 and SP5 can be recommended as first-line treatments for patients with advanced GC.

Abstract
The establishment of liver metastasis from gastrointestinal tumor is mainly considered to be via the portal vein, but its precise mechanism is still unknown. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the significance-of 'streamline' phenomena in liver metastasis of gastrointestinal tumor by means of an experimental model. An animal model for the metastatic liver tumor was made in the Donryu rat. Five million cells of AH-66 strain, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) producing hepatoma cells maintained as an ascites type strain, were administered via portal vein. The superior mesenteric vein (group A), the inferior mesenteric vein (group B) and the splenic vein (group C) were used as the sites of injection. In every group, serum AFP levels were elevated after administration of AH-66 cells and no significant differences were revealed between each group. In the pathological specimens of the liver taken after 7 days, many tumorous lesions were seen microscopically with islet formations, but no definitive difference was seen in each lobe. The serum AFP concentration in group A was significantly higher than that in group C. The tissue AFP concentrations of the right lobe were significantly higher than those of the left in groups A and B, but significantly lower than those of the left lobe in group C. The results indicate that the distribution and proliferation of tumor cells administered via portal vein differed depending upon the site of tumor injection in accordance with the 'streamline' phenomena.

Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) is a causative agent for human food poisoning cases throughout the world. The ovaries and the oviducts of the laying hens are the major sites of SE colonization from which vertical transmission to eggs occurs. In this study, Salmonella-induced changes in T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes and macrophages in the ovaries and oviducts were assessed after primary and secondary experimental inoculations of laying hen with SE. Statistically significant increases in the numbers of T cells (both CD4+ and CD8+) and macrophages were observed 7 to 14 days after primary inoculation, followed by a peak in B-cell numbers from the 14th day post-primary inoculation onwards in the secretory areas of the oviducts. The peak in lymphocyte numbers immediately preceded a decline in the rate of SE recovery from the reproductive tract beginning at day 14. The correlation of decreased Salmonella recovery with elevated lymphocyte and macrophage numbers strongly suggests that local cell-mediated immunity is involved in controlling SE injection in the ovaries and oviducts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent attacks of fever with serosal inflammation. FMF gene (MEFV) mutations have been identified primarily in patients from Mediterranean populations. Although several clinical cases have been reported in Japan, there have been few reports to date on mutation analysis. We studied FMF patients and their relatives to examine the clinical and genetic features of this disease in the Japanese population. METHODS Twelve Japanese FMF patients who met the Tel Hashomer criteria and a total of 17 relatives from 5 of 10 families underwent molecular genetic studies to detect MEFV mutations. The characteristics of these Japanese FMF patients and geno-phenotypical correlations were examined. RESULTS Almost all of our patients had been suffering for a long time from fever of unknown origin and one patient also had systemic amyloidosis. In our 12 FMF patients, we detected the substitutions E84K, L110P, E148Q, R761H and M694I. We also newly diagnosed 2 relatives as having FMF based on clinical symptoms and the existence of FMF mutations. One patient was homozygous for E148Q, the patient with systemic amyloidosis was a homozygote for M694I and 4 patients from 3 families were compound heterozygotes for E148Q and M694I. Three patients in one family were compound heterozygotes for E148Q, L110P and M694I. There were 3 patients who were heterozygous for E84K, L110P-E148Q or M694I and had no other nucleotide changes in the exons of MEFV. On the other hand, 2 relatives who had never experienced symptoms of FMF were homozygous for L110P-E148Q as well as compound heterozygous for E148Q/E148Q-R761H. E148Q and M694I were the most frequently detected substitutions in our study. CONCLUSIONS MEFV mutations occur in Japanese FMF patients though FMF is rare in Japan. The identification of MEFV mutations could be a reliable diagnostic test for FMF. The results of genetic analyses on 14 Japanese FMF patients in this study revealed that E148Q and M694I are frequent alleles.

Abstract
14101 Background: The combination of 5-FU and CDDP has been reported to be active against metastatic gastric cancer (MGC), and great synergy has been shown in vivo and in vitro when 5-FU precedes CDDP. We investigated a sequential combination of S-1 (Tegafur, oxonic acid, CDHP) followed by CDDP for MGC. Methods: In order to determine a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase II dose (RD), we conducted a phase I trial applying increasing doses of oral administration of S-1 (65–80mg/m2) for 21 days and increasing doses of CDDP (60–80mg/m2) on day 22 every 35 days. Pts with metastatic or recurrent gastric cancer, no prior chemotherapy, measurable disease, performance status ECOG less than 3, and adequate organ functions were eligible for the study. Three pts were treated at each dose level with escalation based on toxicity. Fifteen pts were included and evaluated for DLT and MTD. Results: DLT was NCICTC grade 3 anorexia and fatigue in patients treated at the dose level 5 of S-1 80mg/m2 and CDDP 80mg/m2. Other toxicity more than grade 3 was neutropenia (grade 3) and nausea/vomiting (grade 3). Non-hematological toxicities were grade 1/2 and included diarrhea, nausea and stomatitis. There was no treatment-related mortality. The recommended dose was a combination of S-1 80mg/m2 and CDDP 70mg/m2. A tentative median survival was 19.5 months. Conclusions: This sequential S-1 and CDDP administered every 35 days is tolerable and beneficial for patients with MGC, and thus the consequent phase II trial is recommended. A multicenter phase II study is currently under way. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
The expression of lactoferrin, a non-specific antimicrobial defence, in the canine uterus during the normal estrous cycle and in bitches with pyometra was examined. Using polymerase chain reaction analysis, lactoferrin gene transcripts were detected in the endometrium at all stages of the estrous cycle, with the highest levels in estrus. In normal bitches, endometrial lactoferrin mRNA increased from proestrus to estrus (P<0.05). Thereafter, it dramatically decreased from estrus to Day 10 of diestrus (P<0.05), and stayed low at Day 35 of diestrus and anestrus; this was consistent with blood estrogen concentrations. Levels of lactoferrin mRNA were higher in bitches with pyometra than in normal diestrus (P<0.05). With immunohistochemistry, distinct staining of lactoferrin was detected in the luminal and glandular epithelial cells of the endometrium at proestrus and estrus, but little staining was detected at Day 10 of diestrus. At Day 35 of diestrus and anestrus, a partial and weak reaction was present in the same region. In bitches with pyometra, the glandular epithelial cells and many cells in the uterine stroma were strongly stained. Staining cells in the stroma were morphologically similar to neutrophils. No lactoferrin staining was seen in the uterine stromal cells or myometrium in any section. These results suggest that, in the canine uterus, lactoferrin expression is related to the blood concentration of estrogen, and that the dramatic reduction in lactoferrin observed at the early stage of diestrus may impair antimicrobial defense. Also, enhanced expression of lactoferrin mRNA in the endometrium with pyometra may be associated with neutrophil invasion into the uterus to combat the infection.

Abstract
The relation between adherence of Escherichia coli and expression of mucin-1 (Muc1: an integral membrane mucin) mRNA in the endometrium was studied in beagle bitches at different stages of the oestrous cycle and in those with cystic endometrial hyperplasia/pyometra complex (pyometra). The number of E. coli adhering to the endometrium was low at pro-oestrus and oestrus and increased at the early stage (day 10) of dioestrus, corresponding to the implantation period; it declined thereafter. Adhesion of the organisms to endometrial epithelial cells collected at day 10 of dioestrus was inhibited by the addition of D-mannose. When endometrial epithelial cells collected at pro-oestrus were treated with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that digests mucins, the numbers of E. coli adhering to the cells tended to increase. With polymerase chain reaction analysis it was possible to detect Muc1 gene transcripts in the endometrium at all stages of the oestrous cycle, although the level of Muc1 mRNA decreased by day 10 of dioestrus. The levels of Muc1 mRNA in bitches with a clinical stage of pyometra were low and comparable to those at day 10 of dioestrus. The number of E. coli adhering to the endometrium and Muc1 mRNA levels in the endometrium were inversely correlated (r=-0.77, P<0.01). Immunohistochemical analysis showed little staining for Muc1 in the endometrial epithelia at day 10 of dioestrus and in bitches with pyometra. These results suggest that reduction of Muc1 expression is associated with increased E. coli adherence in the canine uterus at the early stage of dioestrus, possibly facilitating the development of pyometra.

Abstract
Japanese layer farms were surveyed for Salmonella Enteritidis vaccination and infection with specific antigens for egg yolk antibodies with the use of vaccination-specific antigen Salmonella Enteritidis FliC-specific 9-kDa polypeptide (SEP9) and infection-specific antigen deflagellated Salmonella Enteritidis whole cell (DEWC). The specific antibodies in eggs from 201 commercial layer farms throughout Japan were surveyed. The percentages of farm flocks with a mean enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) titer of over 0.1 were 56.2% (113 of 201) in DEWC-ELISA and 22.3% (45 of 201) in SEP9-ELISA. Flocks indicating high titers in SEP9-ELISA always showed high titers in DEWC-ELISA. Because both specific antibody titers of the vaccinated flocks monitored long term remained high throughout life, flocks with high titers of both ELISAs in this survey must be vaccinated. On the other hand, 34.3% (69 of 201) of flocks had high titers of DEWC-specific antibody alone. Because Salmonella Enteritidis infection induces the DEWC-specific antibody but not the SEP9-specific antibody, detecting only high ELISA titers of DEWC-specific antibody can be an effective monitoring tool for Salmonella Enteritidis exposure rather than vaccination. These results suggest that vaccination programs in Japanese layer farms would be insufficient to control Salmonella Enteritidis infection, and egg screening to detect specific antibodies would be valuable in obtaining the necessary information to control Salmonella Enteritidis infection.

Abstract
Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) develops via multiple oncogenic steps in human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) carriers. To better understand pathogenesis of ATL, we developed a novel xenogeneic engraftment model in which primary ATL cells are intravenously transplanted into neonatal nonobese diabetic (NOD)/severe-combined immunodeficiency (SCID)/beta2-microglobulin(null) (NOD/SCID/beta2m(null)) mice. Acute-type ATL cells engrafted in the peripheral blood and in the lymph nodes of recipients at a high efficiency. Engrafted ATL cells were dually positive for human CD4 and CD25, and displayed patterns of HTLV-I integration identical to those of donors by Southern blot analysis. These cells infiltrated into recipients' liver, and formed nodular lesions, recapitulating the clinical feature of each patient. In contrast, in smoldering-type ATL cases, multiple clones of ATL cells engrafted efficiently in NOD/SCID/beta2m(null) mice. When smoldering-type ATL cells were retransplanted into secondary NOD/SCID/beta2m(null) recipients, single HTLV-I-infected clones became predominant, suggesting that clones with dominant proliferative activity can be competitively selected in this xenogeneic system. Taken together, the NOD/SCID/beta2m(null) newborn system is useful to understand kinetics, metastasis, and disease progression of ATL in vivo.

Abstract
For Apicomplexa (members) the host cell invasion is realized with the help of the organelles located at the apical tip of parasites. In this research paper the characterization of five chicken monoclonal antibodies (mabs) produced against Eimeria acervulina sporozoites is described. All mabs reacted with molecules belonging to the apical complex of chicken Eimeria sporozoites. On immunofluorescence assay (IFA) one mab, 8E-1, recognized an apical tip molecule present on all chicken Eimeria sporozoites, two mabs (8D-2 and HE-4) recognized an antigen present on the apical tip of the same two Eimeria species (E. acervulina and E. brunetti), another mab (5D-11) recognized an antigen present on the apical tip of other two species (E. acervulina and E. maxima) while one mab (8C-3) identified antigens present on the sporozoites and sporocysts wall of only E. acervulina. Besides the apical tip antigens, two mabs (HE-4 and 8D-2) recognized some proteins located in the anterior half of the sporozoites. Collectively, these mabs proved that the apical complex of chicken Eimeria sporozoites share one or more antigens that are expected to play a role in host cell recognition and invasion.

Abstract
An in vitro organotypic culture model is needed to understand the complexities of carcinoma tissue consisting of carcinoma cells, stromal cells, and extracellular matrices. We developed a new in vitro model of carcinoma tissue using a rotary cell culture system with four disposable vessels (RCCS-4D) that provides a simulated microgravity condition. Solid collagen gels containing human pancreatic carcinoma NOR-P1 cells and fibroblasts or minced human pancreatic carcinoma tissue were cultured under a simulated microgravity condition or a static Ig condition for seven days. NOR-P1 cultures subjected to the simulated microgravity condition showed greater numbers of mitotic, cycling (Ki-67-positive), nuclear factor-kappa B-activating cells, and a lower number of apoptotic cells than were shown by cultures subjected to the static Ig condition. In addition, human pancreatic carcinoma specimens cultured under the simulated microgravity condition maintained the heterogeneous composition and cellular activity (determined by the cycling cell ratio and mitotic index) of the original carcinoma tissue better than static culture conditions. This new 3-D rotary cell culture system with four disposal vessels may be useful for in vitro studies of complex pancreatic carcinoma tissue.

To increase insight into the structural basis of CXCR4 utilization in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection, a new generation of three monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) was developed in WKA rats. The A80 MAb, which binds an epitope in the third extracellular loop (ECL3) of CXCR4, has unique biologic properties that provide novel insights into CXCR4 function. This agent enhanced syncytium formation in activated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) infected with X4 or R5 and CEM cells infected with X4 HIV-1 strains. Exposure to A80 increased the productive infection of activated CD4(+) T cells and CEM cells with R5 and X4 viruses, respectively. This antibody uniquely induced agglutination of PBMC and CEM cells but did not activate calcium mobilization. Agglutination induced by A80 was inhibited by stromal cell-derived factor 1, T22, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate but was not significantly altered by pretreatment of cells with pertussis toxin, wortmannin, or MAbs to LFA-1, ICAM-1, ICAM-2, and ICAM-3. The binding of the A145 and A120 MAbs was mapped to the N-terminal extracellular domain and a conformational epitope involving ECL1 and ECL2, respectively. Both of these MAbs inhibited HIV-1 infection and lacked the novel properties of A80. These results suggest a new role for CXCR4 in homologous lymphocyte adhesion that is ligand independent and in HIV-1 infection.

Abstract
Nuclear matrix protein (NMP) is an index of apoptosis. We measured NMP in 22 patients with acute pancreatitis and investigated the relationship between severity and NMP. We also measured tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and investigated the relationship between NMP and TNF-alpha. The NMP value increased significantly as the pancreatitis became more increasingly severe, and the NMP values were significantly higher in the group with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) than in the group without MODS. A comparison of the NMP values in the group that survived and the group that died revealed higher NMP values in the former. A significant correlation was found between the NMP values and the TNF-alpha values, suggesting that apoptosis may contribute to the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
In Experiment 1, mature laying hens were inoculated intravaginally with 10(6) colony-forming units of Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis (S. enteritidis), Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella infantis, Salmonella hadar, Salmonella heidelberg, or Salmonella montevideo to compare their abilities to colonize the reproductive organs of chickens and to contaminate eggs. Salmonella enteritidis was more frequently recovered (from 11 of 40 eggs, 27.5%) than the other serovars, and especially the inner shell was contaminated with these organisms in 10 of 40 eggs (25.0%). The contamination rates and the viable counts in cloaca were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in hens inoculated with S. enteritidis than in those inoculated with the other serovars at 4 days postinoculation (PI). In the vagina, the positive rates were 90%-100% in hens inoculated with S. enteritidis, and the viable counts of the organisms in this portion were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than those of the other serovars at 2, 4, and 7 days PI. The ceca were colonized similarly by each serovar at 7 days PI. The spleen and ovary were infected with S. enteritidis in three and one hen, respectively. No Salmonella was recovered from liver and peripheral blood in any hen. Salmonella enteritidis was recovered from other oviductal portions than the vagina (10%-20%), whereas no forming egg was contaminated in the oviduct. In Experiment 2, the in vitro adherence of these six serovars to the vaginal epithelium was compared with vaginal explants. The mean number of S. enteritidis attaching to the secondary villi in the vaginal lumen was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than those of the other serovars. These results suggest that S. enteritidis has a specific advantage over the other Salmonella serovars by its capacity to colonize the vaginal tissues of hens, and this higher affinity of S. enteritidis to the vagina may play a significant role in the production of many S. enteritidis-contaminated eggs.

Abstract
OX40/OX40 ligand (OX40L) proteins play critical roles in the T cell-B cell and T cell-dendritic cell interactions. Here we describe the intercellular transfer of OX40L molecules by a non-Ag specific manner. After 2-h coculture of activated CD4(+) T cell (OX40L(-), OX40(+)) with FLAG peptide-tagged OX40L (OX40L-flag) protein-expressing COS-1 cells, the OX40L-flag protein was detected on the cell surface of the CD4(+) T cells by both anti-OX40L and anti-FLAG mAbs. The intercellular OX40L transfer was specifically abrogated by pretreatment of the COS-1 cells with anti-OX40L mAb, 5A8. The OX40L transfer to OX40-negative cells was also observed, indicating an OX40-independent pathway of OX40L transfer. HUVECs, allostimulated monocytes, and human T cell leukemia virus type I-infected T cells, which all express OX40L, can potentially act as the donor cells of OX40L. The entire molecule of OX40L was transferred and stabilized on the recipient cell membrane with discrete punctate formation. The transferred OX40L on normal CD4(+) T cells was functionally active as they stimulated latent HIV-1-infected cells to produce viral proteins via OX40 signaling. Therefore, these findings suggest that the intercellular molecular transfer of functional OX40L may be involved in modifying the immune responses.

Abstract
To investigate the predominance of Malassezia pachydermatis (M. pachydermatis) as a causative agent of canine otitis externa, ear cerumen samples were observed for adhesion of M. pachydermatis to the cornified epithelial cells by light and electron microscopes. The yeasts appeared not to adhere to the cornified epithelial cells directly, but they seemed to exist in the proximity of the epithelial cells with an electron opaque halo-like space around them. Polysaccharide and lipid staining techniques were conducted to identify the substances existing in that space. Lipid substances, not saccharides, were observed around the yeasts and the cornified epithelial cells. These results suggested that in the canine ear canal malassezia yeast attachment to the cornified epithelial cells is mediated by lipids.

Abstract
Changes in the blood levels of type II phospholipase A2 (PLA2) were investigated over time in patients with acute pancreatitis from an early stage after manifestation of the disease. The serum level of type II PLA2 at the first examination and the maximum level during the course of illness were both correlated with the severity of the disease. Serum levels of type II PLA2 were significantly higher in patients with acute pancreatitis complicated by multiple organ failure (349.1 +/- 146.6 ng/ml) than in those with acute pancreatitis not complicated by multiple organ failure (66.9 +/- 50.1 ng/ml). The serum levels of type II PLA2 were also significantly higher in patients who eventually died (316.8 +/- 150.5 ng/ml) than in those who survived (148.9 +/- 167.9 ng/ml). There was a significant correlation between the serum levels of type II PLA2 and those of TNF-alpha during the course of illness (r = 0.8037, p < 0.0001). The serum levels of type II PLA2 reliably reflected the severity of acute pancreatitis even in the early stages of the disease. These results suggest that type II PLA2 may be closely involved in the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
The abilities of Salmonella serovars to colonize the reproductive organs of chickens and to contaminate eggs were compared. Mature laying hens were inoculated intravenously with 10(5) colony-forming units of Salmonella enteritidis, Salmonella typhimurium, Salmonella infantis, Salmonella hadar, Salmonella heidelberg, or Salmonella montevideo to cause the systemic infection. Salmonella enteritidis was recovered from three yolks of the laid eggs (7.0%), suggesting egg contamination from the transovarian transmission of S. enteritidis. The liver, spleen, and cecum were colonized by each serovar similarly at 4 or 7 days postinoculation (PI), whereas the ovary and preovulatory follicles were colonized by S. enteritidis with significantly (P < 0.05) higher levels than by the other serovars at 4 and 7 days PI. Salmonella enteritidis was recovered from the cloaca and vagina at 2, 4, and 7 days PI and from the other portions of the oviduct at 4 and 7 days PI. In addition, S. enteritidis had been persistent in the peripheral blood for 7 days PI. These results suggest that S. enteritidis is the predominant serovar to colonize the reproductive organs of mature laying hens among six serovars used in this study, reflecting the field situatibn in which the predominant outbreaks of human salmonellosis were caused by S. enteritidis-contaminated eggs recently. The ability of S. enteritidis to colonize the reproductive organs may be one of the reasons that egg contamination with S. enteritidis has increased.

Abstract
The possible role of carbohydrate in the interaction of HLA-C with a human inhibitory natural Killer cell Immunoglobulin-like Receptor with two Ig domains, KIR2DL1, was investigated. Transfectants of 721.221 (a class I MHC-negative human B cell line) expressing only HLA-Cw4 or -Cw6 or their respective non-glycosylated mutants (N86Q, S88A) were made. The binding of a KIR2DL1-Ig fusion protein to the non-glycosylated mutant HLA-Cw4- or -Cw6-expressing cells was markedly decreased compared to the wild type-expressing cells. The ability to induce an inhibitory signal in the NK tumor line YTS transfected with KIR2DL1 was also impaired in the nonglycosylated mutant expressing cells. Furthermore, in a second functional assay, mutant HLA-Cw4 and -Cw6 molecules had impaired ability to induce signal transduction in BW cells expressing a KIR2DL1-CD3 zeta chain chimeric protein. Thus, the deletion of the N-linked glycosylation signal in HLA-Cw4 and -Cw6 greatly reduced recognition by KIR2DL1. Alternative interpretations of the data are discussed.

Abstract
An epidemiological investigation of 120 canine otitis externa cases in 1,370 dogs was done on the incidence rate, ear pinna shapes, breeds and their relationships. Eighty-five cases (12.6%) in 672 dogs with pendulous ears and 35 cases (5.0%) in 698 dogs with erect ears had otitis externa, and the difference between them was significant (P<0.05). Ninety-five auditory cerumen specimens were cultured for Malassezia pachydermatis (M. pachydermatis) and analyzed for concentrations of major fatty acids. Although rates of cases positive for M. pachydermatis in both ear pinna shapes were almost the same, i.e. 55.2% in the pendulous group and 53.6% in the erect group, the average total fatty acid level of the pendulous ear group was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that in the erect ear group after dismissing extraordinary levels in the Siberian husky. Isolated M. pachydermatis strains were examined for the effects of fatty acid supplementation on their growth. The majority of the strains utilized fatty acids and grew faster in fatty acid supplemented broth. These results suggest that M. pachydermatis, the predominant causative agent of canine otitis externa, prefers the auditory canal of dogs with lipid-rich earwax and grows fast, but growth strongly depends upon the canine breed.

Abstract
Salmonella enteritidis (SE)-induced changes in various T and B lymphocyte subpopulations in the cecal tonsils of chickens were analyzed using flow cytometry. At 1 day post-SE inoculation, the percentages of CD3(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes were significantly decreased in the group inoculated with 1x10(9) SE colony-forming units (CFU) (SE high) and in the group inoculated with 1x10(6) SE CFU (SE low) compared with the uninfected control group. The percentage of CD4(+) T lymphocytes was significantly increased in the SE high group compared to the uninfected and the SE low groups at 4 days after SE inoculation. The percentage of IgG(+) B lymphocytes was also significantly increased in both SE high and low groups compared to the uninfected control at 6 days post-SE inoculation. In contrast, the SE low group showed significantly fewer IgM(+) B lymphocytes compared to the uninfected and SE high groups. These results show that SE infection induces significant changes in the cecal tonsil lymphocytes subpopulations shortly following SE inoculation.

Abstract
Lactobacilli in the cloaca and vagina of 40 normal laying hens were investigated quantitatively and qualitatively, and their ability to inhibit growth of Salmonella enteritidis (SE) was examined using a spot-the-lawn technique. All samples of cloacal contents and half the samples of vaginal mucus were positive for lactobacilli. The means +/- SD of total Lactobacillus counts in the cloaca and those in the vagina were log10 5.5 +/- 1.1 and 2.5 +/- 2.6 cfu/g, respectively. In the cloaca, Lactobacillus acidophilus was isolated from 92.5% of hens, and Lactobacillus salivarius was isolated from 85.0% of hens, whereas Lactobacillus fermentum was isolated from only one hen. In the vagina, L. acidophilus and L. salivarius were isolated from 42.5% of hens. In the inhibition assay in vitro, all strains of Lactobacillus from cloacal contents and vaginal mucus inhibited growth of SE. There was a wide range of the inhibitory activity even in the same species. No difference of the growth inhibition zone was observed between lactobacilli from cloaca and those from vagina. The present study suggested that lactobacilli in the cloaca and vagina of hens might have a protective effect against SE colonization.

Abstract
The efficacy of Salmonella enteritidis (SE) oil-emulsion bacterin (a commercially available vaccine) was evaluated in an intravaginal challenge model in hens producing a high rate of SE-contaminated eggs. Hens were vaccinated at 38 wk of age. A second (booster) bacterin injection was administered 4 wk later. Two weeks after the second vaccination, all hens were challenged intravaginally with 10(7) colony-forming units of SE. After challenge, 36 of 189 eggs (19.0%) in the vaccinated hens were positive for SE, and this contamination rate was significantly (P < 0.01) lower than that in the unvaccinated hens (61 of 165 eggs, 37.0%). SE was highly recovered from the cloacal and vaginal swabs of the unvaccinated and vaccinated hens, but the number of SE from the cloaca of the vaccinated hens was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than that in the unvaccinated hens at 7 days post-challenge (PC). The recoveries of SE from the spleen and ovary in the vaccinated hens were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than those in the unvaccinated hens at 7 days PC. At necropsy, SE was recovered from 2 of 15 forming eggs (13.3%) taken from the oviducts of the unvaccinated hens, whereas no SE was recovered from 17 forming eggs in the vaccinated hens. After vaccination, serum antibodies for SE in the vaccinated hens were significantly higher than those in the unvaccinated hens. Antibodies from the oviductal washing, especially immunoglobulin G isotype, in the vaccinated hens were higher than those in the unvaccinated hens after challenge. This intravaginal challenge model produced frequent contaminated eggs and clearly demonstrated the ability of the bacterin to protect against egg contamination. The present model may be a useful tool for further studies to evaluate the protective effect against SE contamination of eggs by potential vaccine candidates.

Abstract
W6/32 is one of the most common monoclonal antibodies (mAb) used to characterize human class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. It recognizes a conformational epitope on the intact MHC molecule containing both beta2-microglobulin (beta2-m) and the heavy chain. Labelling proteins by biotinylation is a very useful technique of for their detection, purification and analysis. A common method for biotinylating proteins is through the use of N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) biotin or Sulfo-NHS-biotin where the free amino groups on the protein are used for coupling the biotin moiety. However, W6/32 was unable to effectively immunoprecipitate biotinylated human class I MHC molecules including the human non-classical HLA-G molecule. FACScan analysis confirmed that biotinylating human class I MHC and HLA-G molecules prevents the recognition of these molecule by W6/32. In contrast, the recognition by another conformation-dependent monoclonal antibody, ME1, specific to HLA-B27 molecules, remained totally unaffected.

Abstract
Molecular interactions with the extracellular domains of class I major histocompatibility complex proteins are major determinants of immune recognition that have been extensively studied both physically and biochemically. However, no immunological function has yet been placed on the transmembrane or cytoplasmic amino acid sequences of these proteins despite strict conservation of unique features within each class I major histocompatibility complex locus. Here we report that lysis by a subset of natural killer (NK) cells inhibited by target cell expression of human histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-Cw6 or -Cw7 was not inhibited by expression of chimeric proteins consisting of the extracellular domains of HLA-C and the COOH-terminal portion of HLA-G. Assays using transfectants expressing a variety of HLA-Cw6 mutants identified the transmembrane sequence and, in particular, cysteine at position 309 as necessary for inhibition of 68% (25/37) of NK cell lines and 23% (33/145) of NK clones tested. Moreover, these NK clones inhibited by target cell expression of HLA-Cw6 and dependent upon the transmembrane sequence were found not to express or to only dimly express NK inhibitory receptors (NKIR1) that are EB6/HP3E4-positive. Furthermore, assays using monoclonal antibody blocking suggest that an NK receptor other than NKIR1 or CD94 is responsible for recognition dependent upon the transmembrane sequence of HLA-Cw6.

Abstract
The inhibitory effects of competitive exclusion (CE) and 0.1% concentration of fructooligosaccharide (FOS), singly and in combination, on Salmonella colonization of chicks were investigated. Moreover, quantitation of the major cecal flora (Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides, Lactobacillus, and Escherichia coli) was performed. One-day-old birds were divided into four groups: (i) control, (ii) CE, (iii) FOS, and (iv) CE plus FOS. Chicks received Salmonella Enteritidis at 7 days (experiment 1) or 21 days (experiment 2). Birds in each group were killed at 1 day, 7 days, and 14 days after inoculation of Salmonella Enteritidis for count of salmonella in cecal contents. In experiment 1, the mean number of Salmonella Enteritidis in the chicks inoculated with CE was significantly decreased compared with the other three groups at 1 day postinoculation. In experiment 2, the mean numbers of Salmonella Enteritidis in the chicks of the FOS group and the FOS plus CE group were significantly decreased compared with the control group at 1 day and 7 days postinoculation. On 7- and 21-day-old chicks, few changes on number of total bacteria, Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides, Lactobacillus, and E. coli were observed in the cecal contents of treated groups compared with the control group. Low-dose feeding of FOS in the diet of chicks with a CE treatment may result in reduced susceptibility to Salmonella colonization but may not lead to a shift in the intestinal gut microflora on 7- and 21-day-old chicks.

Abstract
The production and secretion of Salmonella enteritidis whole cell antigen-specific antibodies in the oviducts and in the serum of laying hens experimentally infected with Salmonella enteritidis, was analyzed by ELISA. The dynamics of the antibody levels in the oviducts were identical to that in the serum. Subclasses of antibodies (IgA, IgG, and IgM) in the infected hens were found to increase significantly (p < 0.01) compared to those in the control uninfected hens throughout the experiment. IgG and IgM levels in both oviducts and in sera reached to a peak by 14 days post-inoculation, and remained elevated throughout. The secretion of IgA seemed to be transient since the IgA levels increased to a peak 7 days after both primary and secondary inoculations, and declined rapidly. The elevated levels of antibodies were followed by partial clearance of Salmonella organisms from the oviducts. The present results indicate a significant local immune reaction against the Salmonella infection and suggest an association of the local antibodies with the clearance of Salmonella from the oviducts at least partially.

Abstract
Subsets of T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, and macrophages in the ovaries and oviducts of laying hens were enumerated by immunohistochemistry after intravenous inoculation with Salmonella enteritidis. Almost all T cell subsets in the ovaries and different regions of the oviduct increased in number at 7 days post-inoculation and reached a peak by day 10. This T cell surge was followed by a peak in B cell numbers at day 14. The number of macrophages declined initially but recovered to preinoculation levels by day 21. At day 21, the numbers of T and B cells also returned to normal levels, except for IgG+ B cells in the infundibulum, isthmus, and vagina where they remained consistently elevated. The T and B cell proliferation at 10-14 days post-inoculation immediately preceded a decline in the number of S. enteritidis positive tissues from infected hens beginning at day 14 suggesting that these lymphocytes play a major role in the local immune response to S. enteritidis. The Salmonella-oviduct model will be useful for future studies on local immunity to various infectious agents.
