Abstract
Recently, the HLA-DQA1*05 (rs2097432) genetic variation has been reported to be linked to early infliximab (IFX) treatment failure in the Caucasian Crohn's disease (CD) population, but that evidence is scarce in the Asian population. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between rs2097432 and the cumulative discontinuation-free time of IFX (IFX persistence) in 189 Japanese biologics-naive CD patients. We also performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to discover novel genetic predictors for IFX persistence. The C allele of rs2097432 significantly increased the risk of early discontinuation of IFX [Hazard ratio (HR) = 2.23 and P-value = 0.026]. In GWAS, one locus tagged by rs73277969, located upstream of PPARGC1B which attenuates macrophage-mediated inflammation, reached genome-wide significance (HR = 6.04 and P-value = 7.93E-9). Pathway analysis suggested association of signaling by PDGF and FCGR activation signaling with IFX persistence (P-value = 8.56E-5 and 5.80E-4, respectively).

Abstract
Common bile duct (CBD) stone is a relatively common but potentially life-threatening disease. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) has been performed as standard therapy for CBD stones, but the rate of recurrence of CBD stones is high. Risk factors have been poorly defined, and no effective means for the prevention of the recurrence of CBD stones have been established so far. We aimed to identify significant risk factors for the recurrence of bile duct stones. This study included 477 patients (231 women; mean age, 80.5 years) who underwent EST and cleared CBD stones on cholangiography. A retrospective analysis was performed for the consecutively collected data. During the follow-up period of 6-75 months, the recurrence of CBD stones was observed in 99 patients (20.8%). The median time to the recurrence was 19.0 months (range 4-72 months). Multivariate analysis identified the need for mechanical lithotripsy, which was used for stone fragmentation, as a risk factor. Mechanical lithotripsy caused cholangiography-negative small residua. Notably, saline solution irrigation of the bile duct reduced the recurrence of CBD stones. These results demonstrate that subsequent biliary irrigation after stone removal may prevent the recurrence of CBD stones by clearing small residual fragments.

Abstract
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital anomaly in which all viscera are transposed to the opposite side of the body. This uncommon anatomy causes technical difficulties in endoscopic treatment. A 98-year-old woman with SIT was admitted to our hospital complaining of upper abdominal pain and fever. Blood examinations and findings of abdominal computed tomography imaging confirmed the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis and cholangitis associated with biliary stones. After recovering from pancreatitis and cholangitis with conservative treatment, she underwent therapeutic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to remove the common bile duct (CBD) stones. The patient and the endoscopist were positioned in the usual ERCP position, and the scope was inserted into the duodenum with an approach in the direction opposite to the routine practice. Biliary cannulation was performed in the direction of 1 o'clock, and the cholangiography showed remarkably dilated CBD filled with numerous stones. Endoscopic papillary large balloon dilation was performed, and the CBD stones were successfully removed. There were no complications, such as bleeding, pancreatitis, or perforation. Over 3 years of follow-up, she had no recurrence of cholangitis or pancreatitis.

Abstract
Biomarkers in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are currently regarded as indispensable indicators for accurate differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders. Although high levels of astrocyte-secreted glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFAP) in the CSF of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been reported, the levels of GFAP in the CSF have not been fully investigated in other neurological disorders that cause dementia, such as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). In this study, we determined the levels of GFAP in the CSF of healthy control subjects and AD, DLB, and FTLD patients to address two questions: (i) Do the levels of GFAP differ among these disorders? and (ii) Can GFAP be used as a biomarker for the differential diagnosis of these neurodegenerative disorders? The levels of GFAP in AD, DLB, and FTLD patients were significantly higher than those in the healthy control subjects. Although the levels of GFAP were not significantly different between AD and DLB patients, a higher level of GFAP was observed in FTLD patients than in AD and DLB patients. It is concluded that representative neurological disorders causing dementia were associated with higher levels of GFAP in the CSF. We propose the following mechanism concerning the amount of glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFAP) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The increase in the release of GFAP into CSF is considered to reflect the sum of degeneration of astrocytes and astrocytosis. The sum of degeneration and astrocytosis or the GFAP release could be in the order of FTLD > DLB > AD > normal condition.

Abstract
The Hamilton-Wentworth regional health department was asked by one of its municipalities to determine whether the present water supply and sewage disposal methods used in a community without piped water and regional sewage disposal posed a threat to the health of its residents. Three approaches were used: assessments by public health inspectors of all households; bacteriological and chemical analyses of water samples; and completion of a specially designed questionnaire by residents in the target community and a control community. 89% of the 227 residences in the target community were found to have a drinking water supply that, according to the Ministry of Environment guidelines, was unsafe and/or unsatisfactory. According to on-site inspections, 32% of households had sewage disposal problems. Responses to the questionnaire revealed that the target community residents reported more symptoms associated with enteric infections due to the water supply. Two of these symptoms, diarrhea and stomach cramps, had a relative risk of 2.2 when compared to the control community (p less than 0.05). The study was successfully used by the municipality to argue for provincial funding of piped water.

Abstract
An in vitro phagocytosis assay of adherent cells of 12 palatine tonsils (7 children's and 5 adults' cases with persistent angina) was performed by use of flow cytometry (FCM), using fluorescent latex particles (FLP). The mean value of the percentages of phagocytic cells in the children's group (81.4%) was higher than that in the adults' group (64.0%). In addition, separate immunocytochemical stainings with each antibody--Anti-Leu-M5, OKDR, OKT6, S-100, and lysozyme--were made on smear preparations of a child's and an adult's tonsillar adherent cells after incubation with FLP. By use of the light microscope, the percentages of phagocytic cells in relation to positive cells for each antibody were calculated. The lysozyme positive cell proved to have the highest percentage of phagocytic cells. Then, the average number of phagocytized FLP in one positive cell for each antibody were calculated. With regard to the lysozyme positive cell, this cell proved to have the highest average number of FLP.
