Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Although the World Health Organization declared the end of the public health emergency of international concern focusing on COVID-19 in May 2023, this bothersome virus continues to mutate, and the possibility of the emergence of mutant strains with high infectivity and severe disease rates has not disappeared. Thus, medical evidence must be accumulated, which is indispensable for protecting both patients under immunosuppressive treatments and the healthy population. This study examined SARS-CoV-2 vaccination responses in Japanese patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) compared with healthy controls. METHODS This observational study registered 22 patients with histologically diagnosed AIH and 809 healthy controls in our hospital. Their Elecsys anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody concentrations before and after vaccination were evaluated. RESULTS In this study, 72.7% and 18.2% of patients with AIH received steroids and azathioprine, respectively. Significant negative correlations were found between age and anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody concentration in both groups; however, no sex differences were found. Although anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody concentration was drastically augmented after the second vaccination (p < 0.05) in the AIH group, these levels were significantly lower than those in the controls (p < 0.05). In the age- and sex-matched analysis, the population ratio with a minimum response (≤100 binding antibody units (BAU/mL) was higher among patients with AIH than among controls 26 weeks after the second vaccination (44% vs. 7%, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody concentration in AIH patients was significantly lower than that in controls after the second vaccination. Continued and widespread vaccination, particularly for patients requiring medical immunomodulation, is recommended.

Abstract
Background/Aims: The search for noninvasive biomarkers that can efficiently estimate the extent of liver fibrosis progression is ongoing. Although Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4), the aspartate transaminase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), and the Forns index have been reported as useful biomarkers, their investigation in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is limited. This study aimed to examine the usefulness of these serological indices and a newly developed index in predicting liver fibrosis progression in AIH. Methods: The study analyzed data from 190 patients diagnosed with AIH at our institution between 1990 and 2015. Their histological liver fibrosis progression and clinical long-term prognosis were evaluated retrospectively (cohort 1). In 90 patients, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were compared to choose severe fibrosis cases with respect to existing indices (FIB-4, APRI, and Forns index) and the ferritin-zinc ratio (cohort 2). Results: In cohort 1, liver-related death and hepatocellular carcinoma rates were significantly higher in the severe (n = 27) than in the mild (n = 63) fibrosis group (p = 0.0001 and 0.0191, respectively). In cohort 2, liver-related death in the severe fibrosis group was significantly frequent (p = 0.0071), and their ferritin-zinc ratio was higher (median 2.41 vs. 0.62, p = 0.0011). ROC analyses were performed to compare the ability of the ferritin-zinc ratio, FIB-4, APRI, and the Forns index to predict severe and mild fibrosis. Accordingly, areas under the ROC were 0.732, 0.740, 0.721, and 0.729, respectively. Conclusions: The serum ferritin-zinc ratio can noninvasively predict liver fibrosis progression in AIH and be applied to predict long-term prognosis.

Abstract
There are case reports of mouth ulcers caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccine; however, the actual number and characteristics of cases are unknown. Therefore, we examined this issue using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER), a large Japanese database. We calculated the reported odds ratio (ROR) of drugs that may be specifically associated with mouth ulcers and assumed that a signal was present if the lower limit of the calculated ROR's 95% confidence interval (CI) was > 1. In addition, the time to symptom onset after administration of the COVID-19 mRNA and influenza HA vaccines was investigated. We found that the JADER database contained 4,661 mouth ulcer cases between April 2004 and March 2022. The COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was the eighth most common causative drug for mouth ulcers, with 204 reported cases. The ROR was 1.6 (95% CI, 1.4-1.9) and a signal was detected. There were 172 mouthulcer cases associated with the Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 mRNA vaccine, 76.2% of which were female. The outcome was no unrecovered cases with the influenza HA vaccine, whereas the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine showed unrecovered cases (Pfizer-BioNTech: 12.2%, Moderna: 11.1%). The median time-to-onset of the mouth ulcers was two days for the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine and one day for the influenza HA vaccine, indicating that mouth ulcers caused by the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine were delayed adverse events. In this study, the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine was shown to cause mouth ulcers in a Japanese population.

Abstract
Background In the resting conditions, narrowing the window of coronary pressure measurements from the whole cardiac cycle to diastole improves diagnostic performance of coronary pressure–derived physiological index. However, whether this also applies to the hyperemic conditions has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess whether diastolic fractional flow reserve (diastolic FFR) has better diagnostic performance in identifying ischemia-causing coronary lesions than conventional FFR in a prospective, multicenter, and independent core laboratory–based environment. Methods In this prospective multicenter registry at 29 Japanese centers, we compared the diagnostic performance of FFR, diastolic FFR, resting distal to aortic coronary pressure (Pd/Pa), and diastolic pressure ratio (dPR) using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) as the reference standard in 378 patients with single-vessel coronary disease. Results Inducible myocardial ischemia was found on MPS in the relevant myocardial territory of the target vessel in 85 patients (22%). In the receiver-operating curve analyses, diastolic FFR had comparable area under the curve (AUC) compared with FFR (AUCdiastolic FFR: 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.58-0.73, vs AUCFFR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.58-0.74, P = 0.624). FFR and diastolic FFR showed significantly larger AUCs than resting Pd/Pa (0.62; 95% CI: 0.54-0.70; P = 0.033 and P = 0.046) but did not show significantly larger AUCs than dPR (0.62; 95% CI: 0.55-0.70; P = 0.102 and P = 0.113). Conclusions Diastolic FFR showed a similar diagnostic performance to FFR as compared with MPS. This result reaffirms the use of FFR as the most accurate invasive physiological lesion assessment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The safety of deferral of revascularization based on instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) is established in randomized controlled trials. However, there is little data regarding long-term outcomes after deferral of revascularization based on iFR in real-world practice.
Purpose
We sought to assess clinical outcomes after deferral of revascularization based on iFR in clinical practice as compared with those based on fractional flow reserve (FFR).
Methods
This is a post hoc analysis of the J-CONFIRM registry (long-term outcomes of Japanese patients with deferral of coronary intervention based on fractional flow reserve in multicenter registry), in which 1262 patients with 1447 lesions deferred the revascularization based on FFR. Of these, both FFR and iFR were measured in 399 patients with 452 lesions. The patients were classified into the two groups: the iFR group (iFR >0.89; 308 patients with 348 lesions) and the FFR group (FFR >0.80; 740 patients with 855 lesions). The primary study endpoint was the 3-year target vessel failure (TVF) including cardiac death, target-vessel related myocardial infarction (TVMI), and clinically driven target vessel revascularization (CDTVR).
Results
Mean iFR was 0.96±0.04 in the iFR group. Mean FFR was significantly lower in the iFR group than in the FFR group (0.87±0.05 vs. 0.89±0.05, p=0.002). The iFR group included 35 lesions (11.4%) with FFR ≤0.80. At 3 years, the rate of TVF on a lesion basis were not significantly different between the iFR and FFR groups (8.8% vs. 6.1%, p=0.10), whereas CDTVR rate was significantly higher in the iFR group than in the FFR group (8.5% vs. 5.3%, p=0.044). Cardiac death and TVMI on a patient basis rarely occurred in both groups during the 3-year follow-up (0.33% vs. 0.77%, p=0.47; 0.66% vs. 0.56%, p=0.85, respectively).
Conclusion
At 3 years, TVF rate in deferred lesions was numerically higher in the iFR group than in the FFR group, driven by a higher rate of CDTVR. However, cardiac death and TVMI was very rare in both groups, highlighting the safety of both iFR- and FFR-based deferral of revascularization in daily practice.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Physiology-guided treatment strategy improves clinical outcomes of patients with coronary artery disease. However, it has not been fully evaluated whether such guideline-based strategy is useful for patients with diffuse coronary artery disease as well, which is known to be one of the major factors affecting morbidity and mortality.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to clarify clinical outcomes of patients with diffuse coronary artery disease whose treatment strategy was based on coronary physiology.
Methods
From an international multicentre registry of iFR-pullback, consecutive 1067 patients (1185 vessels) with stable angina were included in whom coronary lesions were deferred or revascularized according to the iFR cutoff: 0.89. The physiological pattern of disease was classified according to the iFR-pullback recording as predominantly physiologically diffuse (n=463) or predominantly physiologically focal (n=722). Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), defined as a composite of cardiac death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization during follow-up period, were compared between diffuse and focal groups, in both deferred and revascularized groups, respectively.
Results
Mean age was 67.1±10.7 years and 75.8% of patients were men. Median iFR was 0.88 (interquartile range: 0.80 to 0.92). At a median follow-up period of 18 months, no significant differences in MACEs were found between diffuse and focal groups, in both iFR-based deferred and revascularized groups. In the deferred group (n=480), MACEs occurred in 6.9% patients (15/217) in the diffuse group and 8.0% patients (21/263) in the focal group (p=0.44). In the revascularized group (n=705), MACEs occurred in 8.9% patients (22/246) in the diffuse group and 7.2% patients (33/459) in the focal group (p=0.49).
Conclusions
Despite potentially higher risks in patients with diffuse coronary artery disease, clinical outcomes of those patients were comparable to those of patients without diffuse disease, as long as treatment strategy was based on the physiology guidance, which is globally recommended by international guidelines.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The trial collected prospective data from physiology measurements of borderline lesions in five Czech, one Japan and one Argentinian cathlabs. The main purposes were to analyze diagnostic agreement between FFR (fractional flow reserve) and iFR (instantaneous wave free ratio) examinations and to find possible explanations for discrepant results.
Methods
FFR and iFR examinations were analyzed using Philips-Volcano console and coronary flow reserve (CFR) was analyzed by using Combomap machine Philips-Volcano. Hyperemia for FFR and CFR measurements was induced by intracoronary administration of adenosine. We used CFR as a truth for comparison between FFR and iFR, because CFR has higher impact on patients prognosis than pressures indices.
Results
Data were collected from February 2016 to June 2019 and the database includes 1.789 examinations from 1.492 patients (282 of them, 15.8%, with ACS). CFR were measured in 343 lesions in 293 patients. (ACS 31.2%). Overall correlation between FFR and iFR is high (R=0.86 p<0.0001). The FFR/iFR discrepancy occurred in 84 measurements (24.5%), more frequently it was FFRp (positive) / iFRn (negative) type of discrepancy (65, 18.9%) compare to FFRn/iFRp (19, 5.5%) one. There was no difference in occurrence of FFR/iFR discrepancy in stable patients and ACS ones (25.1%vs. 22.4%, p=0.59). The CFR correlated better with iFR than with FFR (R=0.56, p<0.0001 vs. R= 0.36, p<0.0001) (see table). In lesions with FFRp/iFRn type of discrepancy we found substantially higher CFR value compared to FFR/iFR agreement group (2.4±0.7 vs. 1.5±0.5, p<0.0001). Unlike to FFRn/iFRp discrepancy, where CFR value was similar with agreement group (1.4±0.1 vs. 1.5±0.1, p=0.25)
Conclusion
The FFR/iFR discrepancy occurred in almost one quarter of examinations. Correlation between CFR and iFR is better than between CFR and FFR. High flow is probably one of the main reason for FFRp/iFRn type of discrepancy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
QFR and FFRCT are recently developed, less-invasive techniques for functional assessment of coronary artery disease.
Objectives
We compared the diagnostic performance between fractional flow reserve derived from computed tomography (FFRCT) and quantitative flow ratio (QFR) derived from coronary angiography, using FFR as the standard reference.
Methods
We measured FFRCT, QFR and FFR in 152 patients (233 vessels) with stable coronary artery disease.
Results
QFR was highly correlated with FFR (r=0.78, p<0.001), while FFRCT was moderately correlated with FFR (r=0.63, p<0.001). Both QFR and FFRCT showed good agreements with FFR, presenting small values of mean difference and root-mean-squared deviation (FFR -QFR: 0.02±0.09 and FFR -FFRCT: 0.03±0.11). The AUC of QFR was significantly greater than that of 3D-QCA-derived %DS (0.93 vs. 0.78; difference: 0.15; 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.20; p<0.001). The AUC of FFRCTwas significantly greater than that of CCTA-derived %DS (0.82 vs. 0.70; difference: 0.12; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.19; p<0.001). The AUC of QFR was significantly greater than that of FFRCT (0.93 vs. 0.82; difference: 0.11; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.16; p<0.001). The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive valueof QFR ≤0.80 for predicting FFR ≤0.80 were 90%, 82%, 81%, and 90%, respectively. Those of FFRCT ≤0.80 for predicting FFR ≤0.80 were 82%, 70%, 70%, and 82%, respectively. The diagnostic accuracy of QFR ≤0.80 for predicting FFR ≤0.80 was 85% [95% confidence interval: 81% to 89%], while that of FFRCT≤0.80 for predicting FFR ≤0.80was 76% [95% confidence interval: 70% to 80%].

Conclusions
Both QFR and FFRCTpossessed the ability to accurately evaluate the functional severity of coronary stenosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, some studies have highlighted proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors produce incremental low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering effect. However, it is unknown whether the lipid composition of plaque changes is associated with serum LDL-C reduction due to PCSK9 inhibitors administration.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of PCSK9 inhibitor (PCSK9i) on coronary plaque component in patients with a history of coronary artery disease (CAD) assessed by near-infrared spectroscopy intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS).
Methods
A total of 67 non-culprit coronary segments were identified in 34 patients. These lesions were analyzed utilizing NIRS-IVUS at baseline and follow-up coronary angiography (CAG). The subjects were divided into two groups according to lipid-lowering treatment; administration of PCSK9i group (PCSK9i: 19 segments, 9 patients) and traditional statin treatment group (Control: 48 segments, 25 patients). The change of lipid-rich plaque distribution between baseline and follow-up NIRS-IVUS was defined as the change of maximal lipid core burden index (LCBI) score for each of the 4-mm longitudinal segments (maxLCBI4mm).
Results
Mean duration from baseline to follow-up CAG was 239.4±52.4 days in the PCSK9i group and 341.0±84.1 days in the Control group (p<0.001). Despite the higher total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the PCSK9i group at baseline (206.6±40.9 mg/dl vs. 168.5±37.1 mg/dl, 131.5±35.4 mg/dl vs. 100.0±29.5 mg/dl; respectively, p<0.001 for both), the PCSK9i group was significantly lower TC and LDL-C at the follow-up (111.5±23.5 mg/dl vs. 157.4±27.8 mg/dl, 40.8±15.7 mg/dl vs. 86.2±19.6 mg/dl; respectively, p<0.001 for both). Furthermore, the PCSK9i group induced greater regression of maxLCBI4mm than that of Control group (99.6±156.6 vs. 27.9±118.0, p=0.046) (Figure).
Figure 1
Conclusion
Compared with traditional statin therapy, PCSK9i treatment resulted in a greater decrease in lipid component in non-culprit coronary plaques. Therefore, PCSK9i may be useful option in preventing from adverse coronary events for the patients with CAD.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
We sought to evaluate the efficacy of plaque debulking by directional coronary atherectomy (DCA) before 2nd generation drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation for bifurcated coronary lesions.
Background
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for bifurcated lesions still remains complex and challenging in terms of restenosis or stent thrombosis regardless of whether simple or complex stenting used.
Methods
Patients with bifurcated lesions were enrolled in this prospective multicenter registry. Pre-2nd generation DES plaque debulking with a novel DCA was conducted. All patients were scheduled to perform a follow up (9–12 months) angiography (coronary angiography or coronary computed tomography). The primary end point was the target vessel failure (TVF) at follow-up. Secondary end points were procedure-related events and major adverse cardiac events at 1 year.
Results
A total of 77 patients with bifurcated lesions were enrolled. PCI with DCA was performed successfully in all without any major procedure-related event and only 1 case needed complex stenting. TVF rate at 9–12 months follow up was 3.9% (3 of 77) and those were all associated with revascularization of the target vessel. Restenosis was only observed at ostial of main-branch in 3cases. No death, no coronary artery bypass grafting, and no myocardial infarction were reported in the patients within the first year.

Conclusion
DCA before 2nd generation DES implantation can possibly avoid complex stenting and provide a good mid-term outcome in patients with bifurcated lesions.

Abstract
Balloon occlusion is a potential method for inducing hyperemia to measure post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR). The objective of this study was to determine the clinical usefulness of post-occlusional hyperemia. FFRs measured using post-occlusional hyperemia caused by 30 (FFRoccl30) and 60 s (FFRoccl60) of balloon occlusion after PCI were compared in 60 lesions from 60 patients. The duration of hyperemia was also measured. There was a strong correlation between FFRoccl30 and FFRoccl60 (r = 0.969, p < 0.01). The duration of hyperemia was significantly longer with FFRoccl60 than with FFRoccl30 (68 ± 23 vs. 37 ± 15 s, p < 0.01). The time required for pullback curve analysis was around 45 s. However, in 7 (12%) cases, the duration of hyperemia with FFRoccl60 was < 45 s, which was not enough for pull-back curve analysis. To predict the duration of hyperemia with FFRoccl60 ≥ 45 s, the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed a cut-off value of 25 s of hyperemia with FFRoccl30. FFRoccl30 is sufficient for diagnostic purposes. FFRoccl60 is suitable for pull-back curve analysis in select cases based on predictions made using the duration of hyperemia with FFRoccl30.

Abstract
Bevacizumab has been reported to increase blood pressure. However, the factors, including patient characteristics and laboratory data contributing to this side effect remain unclear. Therefore, we investigated the relationships between increased blood pressure and bevacizumab administration, patient characteristics, and laboratory data. Between April 2007 and January 2018, factor analysis was retrospectively conducted by monitoring increases in blood pressure, the status of bevacizumab administration, patient characteristics, and laboratory data before the first administration in Japanese patients with colorectal cancer who satisfied the criteria for this study. Sixty-seven patients were included, 34 of whom (50.7%) had an increase in blood pressure after bevacizumab administration. On univariate analysis, liver metastasis, antihypertensive drug use, systolic blood pressure at rest before the first bevacizumab administration, body mass index, creatinine, and blood platelet count were significantly different between the two groups. Multivariate analysis was conducted using increased blood pressure as an objective variable and the factors extracted by the univariate analysis as explanatory variables. The results suggested that liver metastasis, antihypertensive drugs, systolic blood pressure at rest before the first bevacizumab administration, and creatinine were associated with the increase in blood pressure. Furthermore, a log-rank test performed based on Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated that liver metastasis in patients not taking antihypertensive drugs and antihypertensive drug use in patients without liver metastasis were significantly associated with increased blood pressure. Additionally, liver metastasis in patients with antihypertensive drug use was significantly associated with increased blood pressure. Our findings suggest that liver metastasis and antihypertensive drug use, which was previously reported, are risk factors for increased blood pressure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the performance of angiography derived Fractional Flow Reserve (FFRangio) in multivessel disease (MVD) patients undergoing angiography. BACKGROUND FFR is the reference standard for physiologic assessment of coronary stenosis and guidance of revascularization, especially in patients with MVD, yet it remains grossly underutilized. The non-wire based FFRangio performs well in non-MVD patients, but its accuracy in MVD is unknown. METHODS A prospective clinical study was conducted at Gifu Heart Centre, Japan. Patients underwent physiologic assessment of all relevant coronary lesions using wire-based FFR (wbFFR) and FFRangio. Primary outcome was diagnostic performance (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for FFRangio with wbFFR as reference. Other outcomes were the correlation between wbFFR/FFRangio, time required for wbFFR/FFRangio measurements, and the effect of wbFFR/FFRangio on the reclassification of coronary disease severity. RESULTS Fifty patients (118 lesions in total) were included. Mean age was 72 ± 9 years, 72% were male, 36% had triple vessel disease and the average SYNTAX score was 13. The mean measurement of wbFFR and FFRangio were 0.83 ± 0.12 and 0.81 ± 0.11, respectively. Accuracy, sensitivity and specificity for FFRangio were 92.3% (95% CI 79.1-98.4%), 92.4% (95% CI 84.3-97.2%) and 92.4% (95% CI 87.4-97.3%), respectively. Pearson's r between wbFFR and FFRangio was 0.83. FFRangio measurement was faster than wbFFR (9.6 ± 3.4 vs. 15.0 ± 8.9 min, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS In patients with MVD, FFRangio shows good correlation and excellent diagnostic performance compared to wbFFR, and measuring FFRangio is faster than wbFFR. These results highlight the potential clinical benefits of utilizing FFRangio among patients with MVD.

Abstract
The reported prevalence of sarcopenia has shown a wide range, crucially based on the diagnostic criteria and setting. This cross-sectional study evaluated the prevalence of sarcopenia and sought to identify factors associated with sarcopenia on admission in a specialized geriatric rehabilitation setting based on the newly developed the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia algorithm. Among 87 participants (mean age, 76.05 ± 7.57 years), 35 (40.2%) were classified as showing sarcopenia on admission. Prevalence was high, particularly among participants ≥80 years old, with tendencies toward lower body mass index, smoking habit, lower cognitive function, and greater functional impairment compared with the non-sarcopenic group. Identification of sarcopenia in elderly patients before rehabilitation and consideration of risk factors may prove helpful in achieving rehabilitation outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study investigated the prevalence, location, and severity of neck and shoulder pain (NSP), its disturbance of quality of life (QOL), and the factors related to NSP in Japanese postpartum women. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study involved 308 postpartum women who had a medical examination one month after delivery. The questionnaire consisted of the background and details of NSP. Mood states were evaluated using the Profile of Mood States-Brief (POMS-B), Japanese Version. RESULTS The prevalence of NSP was 73.1%, one-fourth of which occurred after birth. The most common area was the superior part of the trapezium muscles. Prevalence was associated with past history of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), anemia during pregnancy, time per breastfeeding, and the mean POMS-B Fatigue score. Total breastfeeding time a day, the mean POMS-B score for Fatigue, Confusion, Anger-Hostility, and Depression were significantly higher for "worse" after birth than those for "no-change/relief". The disturbance of daily life due to NSP in postpartum women with past history of PMS and Hiesho were significant higher than that for women without those. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of NSP in postpartum women was very high. The factors which affect NSP were the mental states, breastfeeding, past history of PMS, and anemia during pregnancy.

Abstract
CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (CEBPA) mutations are a favorable prognostic factor in adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients; however, few studies have examined their significance in pediatric AML patients. Here we examined the CEBPA mutation status and clinical outcomes of pediatric AML patients treated in the AML-05 study. We found that 47 (14.9%) of the 315 evaluable patients harbored mutations in CEBPA; 26 cases (8.3%) harbored a single mutation (CEBPA-single) and 21 (6.7%) harbored double or triple mutations (CEBPA-double). After excluding core-binding factor-AML cases, patients harboring CEBPA mutations showed better overall survival (OS; P=0.048), but not event-free survival (EFS; P=0.051), than wild-type patients. Multivariate analysis identified CEBPA-single and CEBPA-double as independent favorable prognostic factors for EFS in the total cohort (hazard ratio (HR): 0.47 and 0.33; P=0.02 and 0.01, respectively). CEBPA-double was also an independent favorable prognostic factor for OS (HR: 0.30; P=0.04). CEBPA-double remained an independent favorable factor for EFS (HR: 0.28; P=0.04) in the normal karyotype cohort. These results suggest that CEBPA mutations, particularly CEBPA-double, are an independent favorable prognostic factor in pediatric AML patients, which will have important implications for risk-stratified therapy.

Abstract
Coexistence of horseshoe kidney and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a rare entity that presents a technical challenge to vascular surgeons. How to approach such an AAA with horseshoe kidney and whether to divide the renal isthmus remains a controversial issue. We report here the successful surgical repair of an AAA with horseshoe kidney via the transperitoneal approach with division of the renal isthmus by Harmonic Focus, which allowed easy division of the isthmus without bleeding. Harmonic Focus, a hand-held type of harmonic scalpel, was thus useful in symphysiotomy of the horseshoe kidney.

Abstract
A 22-year-old man complaining of persisting high fever and right hypochondralgia was admitted to our hospital for infectious mononucleosis with splenic infarction detected by computed tomography. The splenic infarction deteriorated with a marked elevation of inflammatory parameters. This necessitated the commencement of methylprednisolone pulse therapy, resulting in prompt amelioration of inflammation and a reduction in cytokine levels. Including our case, only 9 cases of mononucleosis with splenic infarction have been reported to date; however, splenic infarction should be considered because it is a significant complication of infectious mononucleosis.
