Abstract
CoNb2O6is a model system for a spin-1/2 one-dimensional (1D) transverse-field Ising magnet (TFIM) with a rather low three-dimensional (3D) Néel ordering temperature atTN=2.95K. We studied CoNb2O6using ultrasound measurements down to 0.3 K in transverse magnetic fields applied along thebdirection. Upon entering the 3D ordered state, we observe pronounced anomalies in the transverse acoustic modec66. In particular, from 1.3 to 1.5 K and around 4.7 T, this mode reveals an almost diverging softening, which is considerably reduced at lower and higher magnetic fields. We interpret this as an influence of quantum critical fluctuations emerging from the quantum critical point (QCP) of the 1D Ising spin chains at about 4.75 T, which lies below the QCP of the 3D ordering at about 5.4 T. This is clear experimental evidence of the predicted generic phase diagram for a TFIM with superimposed 3D ordering.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The combination of accelerated hyperfractionated thoracic radiotherapy (AHF-TRT) of 45 Gy and concurrent chemotherapy is the standard treatment for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). However, the optimal dose and fractionation remain controversial. We herein report the results of a phase II study investigating the utility of dose escalation to 54 Gy on AHF-RT for LS-SCLC. MATERIALS/METHODS We enrolled patients ≤80 years old with treatment-naïve confirmed LS-SCLC and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2. The radiation dose was 54 Gy delivered in 36 fractions in 18 treatment days over 3.6 weeks. The chemotherapy regimens were PE (cisplatin and etoposide)- or CE (carboplatin and etoposide)-based. AHF-TRT was given in 2 phases: patients initially received 36 Gy to the gross tumor plus uninvolved mediastinal nodes, followed by a boost to the gross tumor of 18 Gy. All patients were treated with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy with multiple fields to reduce the elevated dose volume to the surrounding tissues, such as the lungs and esophagus, as much as possible. All patients were evaluated for the overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and non-hematological toxicity. RESULTS Between 2013 and 2016, a total of 13 patients were enrolled in the present study. All the patients were assessable for the response and toxicity. The median age was 67 (range, 54-78) years old, and 9 patients were male, while 4 were female. Twelve patients had a ECOG performance status of 0. The numbers of patients with Stage IIA, IIB, IIIA, and IIIB disease were one, one, eight, and three, respectively. The median follow-up for all patients was 79 (range, 13-107) months, and that for surviving patients was 90 (range, 79-107) months. The patterns of failure were locoregional-only recurrence in 0% (0 patients), both locoregional and distant in 15.4% (2 patients), and distant-only in 30.8% (4 patients). Recurrence from the elective nodal irradiation area was seen in 0% (0 patients). The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year OS rates were 100%, 76.9%, 53.9%, and 44.9%, respectively, and the median OS was 83.0 months. The 1-, 3-, 5-, and 7-year PFS rates were 76.9%, 53.9%, 53.9%, and 44.9%, respectively, and the median PFS was 83.0 months. No patient experienced a grade ≥3 non-hematological adverse effect, such as esophagitis or pneumonitis, during treatment or follow-up. Grade 2 pneumonitis was observed in 2 patients (15.4%), Grade 2 esophagitis was observed in 12 patients (92.3%), and Grade 2 esophageal pain was observed in 2 patients (15.4%). CONCLUSION In this study, AHF-TRT of 54 Gy with concurrent PE- or CE-based regimens resulted in a good OS and PFS without increasing severe toxicity. Although this regimen needs to be evaluated in more patients to fully confirm its efficacy, these outcomes suggest that dose escalation to 54 Gy may be a promising radical treatment for LS-SCLC.

Abstract
Despite the promising efficacy of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (atezo/bev), some patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) experience disease progression. This retrospective study, which included 154 patients, aimed to evaluate predictors of treatment efficacy of atezo/bev for unresectable HCC. Factors associated with treatment response were examined, focusing on tumor markers. In the high-alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) group (baseline AFP ≥ 20 ng/mL), a decrease in AFP level > 30% was an independent predictor of objective response (odds ratio, 5.517; p = 0.0032). In the low-AFP group (baseline AFP < 20 ng/mL), baseline des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) level < 40 mAU/mL was an independent predictor of objective response (odds ratio, 3.978; p = 0.0206). The independent predictors of early progressive disease were an increase in AFP level ≥ 30% at 3 weeks (odds ratio, 4.077; p = 0.0264) and the presence of extrahepatic spread (odds ratio, 3.682; p = 0.0337) in the high-AFP group and up-to-seven criteria, OUT (odds ratio, 15.756; p = 0.0257) in the low-AFP group. In atezo/bev therapy, focusing on early AFP changes, baseline DCP, and tumor burden of up-to-seven criteria are useful in predicting response to treatment.

Abstract
A 3-month-old Shetland sheepdog presented with a loud ejection murmur and exercise intolerance. Echocardiography revealed an accessory mitral valve leaflet, characterised by a valve-like structure separate from the mitral valve seen in the subaortic region of the ventricular septum. The left ventricular outflow tract was partially obstructed with a pressure gradient of 12 mmHg. Accessory mitral valve leaflet resection and mitral valvuloplasty were performed during open-heart surgery. Histology performed on the membrane-like structures were indicative of fibrous connective tissues. Postoperative echocardiography confirmed removal of the valve-like structure with resolution of the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The pressure gradient was decreased to 4.6 mmHg. The dog was in good condition and no further treatment was required 5 months after surgery. Both cardiac troponin I and NT-proBNP were markedly decreased. In this dog, surgical resection combined with mitral valve plasty resolved the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and the clinical signs.

Abstract
This study investigated the utility of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure with hemostatic clip by comparing with traditional PDA closure. Medical records of 51 dogs with surgical closure of PDA were reviewed and retrospective study was conducted. 29 dogs were treated by procedure with hemostatic clip (Group HC), and 22 dogs were treated by surgical ligation (Group SL). Data pertaining to breed, sex, age and body weight at the time of surgery, echocardiographic minimal ductal diameter, duration of surgery, hemostatic clip size, echocardiographic findings, hemor-rhage, residual ductal flow and recanalization were collected from records. The results showed that procedure with hemostatic clip had been selected in lighter dogs than traditional PDA closure. Duration of surgery performed only hemostatic clip technique was significantly shorter than that in group SL. Preoperative LVIDd, E-wave and FS were significantly lower than postoperative ones. As regard all parameters, the differences between pre- and postoperative periods were not significantly different between group HC and group SL. Hemorrhage, residual ductal flow, and recanalization were not significantly different in both groups. The present study showed that procedure with hemostatic clip is beneficial in that it is available in smaller dogs and can make shorter operation duration than traditional PDA closure. Moreover, the procedure is effective for the resolution of volume overload of the left atrium and ventricle in short-term outcome. Complications including hemorrhage, residual ductal flow and recanaliza-tion were not significantly different with both techniques.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The Japanese prime minister declared a state of emergency on April 7 2020 to combat the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This declaration was unique in the sense that it was essentially driven by the voluntary restraint of the residents. We examined the change of the infection route by investigating contact experiences with COVID-19-positive cases. STUDY DESIGN This study is a population-level questionnaire-based study using a social networking service (SNS). METHODS To assess the impact of the declaration, this study used population-level questionnaire data collected from an SNS with 121,375 respondents (between March 27 and May 5) to assess the change in transmission routes over the study period, which was measured by investigating the association between COVID-19-related symptoms and (self-reported) contact with COVID-19-infected individuals. RESULTS The results of this study show that the declaration prevented infections in the workplace, but increased domestic infections as people stayed at home. However, after April 24, workplace infections started to increase again, driven by the increase in community-acquired infections. CONCLUSIONS While careful interpretation is necessary because our data are self-reported from voluntary SNS users, these findings indicate the impact of the declaration on the change in transmission routes of COVID-19 over time in Japan.

Abstract
Recently, FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$ systems have received much attention because of the unique pressure-temperature phase diagram. We performed $^{77}$Se-NMR measurements on a single crystal of FeSe$_{0.88}$S$_{0.12}$ to investigate its microscopic properties. The shift of $^{77}$Se spectra exhibits anomalous enhancement at $1.0~\mathrm{GPa}$, suggesting a topological change in the Fermi surfaces, so-called Lifshitz transition, occurs at $1.0~\mathrm{GPa}$. The magnetic fluctuation simultaneously changes its properties, which implies a change in the dominant nesting vector.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Liver transplantation remains the only curative therapy for decompensated liver cirrhosis. However, it has several limitations, and not all patients can receive liver transplants. Therefore, liver regenerative therapy without liver transplantation is considered necessary. In this study, we attempted minimally invasive liver regenerative therapy by peripheral vein infusion of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) cultured from a small amount of autologous bone marrow fluid and evaluated the effects of BMSCs on hepatocarcinogenesis in a mouse model. METHODS C57BL/6 male mice were injected intraperitoneally with N-nitrosodiethylamine once at 2 weeks of age, followed by carbon tetrachloride twice a week from 6 weeks of age onwards, to create a mouse model of highly oncogenic liver cirrhosis. From 10 weeks of age, mouse isogenic green fluorescent protein-positive BMSCs (1.0 × 106/body weight) were infused once every 2 weeks, for a total of 5 times, and the effects of frequent BMSC infusion on hepatocarcinogenesis were evaluated. RESULTS In the histologic evaluation, no significant differences were observed between the controls and BMSC-administered mice in terms of incidence rate, number, or average size of foci and tumors. However, significant suppression of fibrosis and liver injury was confirmed in the group that received BMSC infusions. DISCUSSION Considering that BMSC infusion did not promote carcinogenesis, even in the state of highly oncogenic liver cirrhosis, autologous BMSC infusion might be a safe and effective therapy for human decompensated liver cirrhosis.

Abstract
Termite royals (queen and king) exhibit extraordinary longevity without sacrificing reproductive performance, unlike most animals, in whom lifespan is generally negatively associated with reproduction. Therefore, the regulatory mechanisms underlying longevity have attracted much attention. Although the ageing process is influenced by environmental factors in many insects during their life cycle, it remains unclear whether any factors have an effect on the extended survival and high reproductive capacity of termite royals. Here, we show that hypoxia, possibly an important environmental factor in the nests, enhances survival and reproductive activity in incipient royals of the subterranean termite Reticulitermes speratus compared with those in control conditions. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that the expression levels of the vitellogenin gene in queens are maintained to a greater extent under hypoxic conditions than under control conditions. The expression levels of the antioxidant enzyme genes RsCAT1 and RsPHGPX are also significantly promoted by hypoxia in queens and kings respectively. These results suggest that hypoxic exposure can contribute in part to achieving high reproductive output by altering gene expression after founding of colonies in the royals. Our study provides novel insights into the effect of a nest environment on the reproductive characteristics in termite royals.

Abstract
A fundamental issue concerning iron-based superconductivity is the roles of electronic nematicity and magnetism in realising high transition temperature (T c). To address this issue, FeSe is a key material, as it exhibits a unique pressure phase diagram involving non-magnetic nematic and pressure-induced antiferromagnetic ordered phases. However, as these two phases in FeSe have considerable overlap, how each order affects superconductivity remains perplexing. Here we construct the three-dimensional electronic phase diagram, temperature (T) against pressure (P) and isovalent S-substitution (x), for FeSe1-x S x . By simultaneously tuning chemical and physical pressures, against which the chalcogen height shows a contrasting variation, we achieve a complete separation of nematic and antiferromagnetic phases. In between, an extended non-magnetic tetragonal phase emerges, where T c shows a striking enhancement. The completed phase diagram uncovers that high-T c superconductivity lies near both ends of the dome-shaped antiferromagnetic phase, whereas T c remains low near the nematic critical point.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent preclinical and phase I studies have reported that rebamipide decreased the severity of chemoradiotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with oral cancer. This placebo-controlled randomized phase II study assessed the clinical benefit of rebamipide in reducing the incidence of severe chemoradiotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). METHODS Patients aged 20-75 years with HNC who were scheduled to receive chemoradiotherapy were enrolled. Patients were randomized to receive rebamipide 2% liquid, rebamipide 4% liquid, or placebo. The primary endpoint was the incidence of grade ≥ 3 oral mucositis determined by clinical examination and assessed by central review according to the Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events version 3.0. Secondary endpoints were the time to onset of grade ≥ 3 oral mucositis and the incidence of functional impairment (grade ≥ 3) based on the evaluation by the Oral Mucositis Evaluation Committee. RESULTS From April 2014 to August 2015, 97 patients with HNC were enrolled, of whom 94 received treatment. The incidence of grade ≥ 3 oral mucositis was 29% and 25% in the rebamipide 2% and 4% groups, respectively, compared with 39% in the placebo group. The proportion of patients who did not develop grade ≥ 3 oral mucositis by day 50 of treatment was 57.9% in the placebo group, whereas the proportion was 68.0% in the rebamipide 2% group and 71.3% in the rebamipide 4% group. The incidences of adverse events potentially related to the study drug were 16%, 26%, and 13% in the placebo, rebamipide 2%, and rebamipide 4% groups, respectively. There was no significant difference in treatment compliance among the groups. CONCLUSIONS The present phase II study suggests that mouth washing with rebamipide may be effective and safe for patients with HNC receiving chemoradiotherapy, and 4% liquid is the optimal dose of rebamipide.

Abstract
The importance of electron-hole interband interactions is widely acknowledged for iron-pnictide superconductors with high transition temperatures (T_{c}). However, the absence of hole pockets near the Fermi level of the iron-selenide (FeSe) derived high-T_{c} superconductors raises a fundamental question of whether iron pnictides and chalcogenides have different pairing mechanisms. Here, we study the properties of electronic structure in the high-T_{c} phase induced by pressure in bulk FeSe from magnetotransport measurements and first-principles calculations. With increasing pressure, the low-T_{c} superconducting phase transforms into the high-T_{c} phase, where we find the normal-state Hall resistivity changes sign from negative to positive, demonstrating dominant hole carriers in contrast to other FeSe-derived high-T_{c} systems. Moreover, the Hall coefficient is enlarged and the magnetoresistance exhibits anomalous scaling behaviors, evidencing strongly enhanced interband spin fluctuations in the high-T_{c} phase. These results in FeSe highlight similarities with high-T_{c} phases of iron pnictides, constituting a step toward a unified understanding of iron-based superconductivity.

Abstract
AIM OF THE STUDY A simplified chart to determine the initial loading dose of teicoplanin (TEIC chart) for achieving the target trough concentration was developed. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of this chart in critically ill patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS The initial loading dose and maintenance dose to achieve a target trough concentration ≥10 μg/mL on day 4 was determined using the teicoplanin TDM software and presented in a TEIC chart. The dosage of teicoplanin, including the loading dose for the first 2 days and the maintenance dose thereafter, was selected from the chart (chart method, N = 41) or calculated using TDM software (software method, N = 39). RESULTS The performance rate of initial loading of teicoplanin increased from 83.0% to 100% after the TEIC chart was introduced (P = 0.016). The TEIC chart significantly reduced the time required for determining the initial loading dose compared with the use of software (1.9±0.6 min vs. 29.7±13.8 min, P < 0.001). No significant differences were observed in the rates of achieving a target level ≥10 μg/mL (P = 0.766). CONCLUSION The TEIC chart enables a simple, rapid, and reliable determination of teicoplanin dosage.

Abstract
Conventional spin-echo (SE) and contrast-enhanced dynamic MR imaging were performed on a 1.5 T superconductive unit for evaluation of myometrial lesions in postmolar gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) in 10 women. MR imaging was done at the time of the initial examination (n=10), during (n=6), and after repeated courses of chemotherapy (n=10). The T2-weighted SE image revealed an enlarged uterus (n=7), disappearance of zonal anatomy (n=6), and heterogeneous signal intensities (n=8) with prominent flow voids (n=7). However, these abnormalities remained after repeated courses of chemotherapy, when the S-β-HCG level returned to the normal range. Myometrial lesions characteristically had marked enhancement with areas of unenhancement on dynamic MR images in patients with highly elevated S-β-HCG. Areas of contrast enhancement correlated with changes in S-β-HCG level. The enhancement was reduced with decrease in S-β-HCG level after repeated courses of chemotherapy. Six of 8 masses seen on T2-weighted images proved to be active trophoblastic lesions and 2 masses proved to be hematoma or necrosis. In 2 patients, abnormal myometrial lesions were detected only on contrast-enhanced dynamic MR imaging. These preliminary data indicate that contrast-enhanced dynamic MR imaging more clearly demonstrates myometrial involvement of postmolar GTD than conventional SE imaging.

Abstract
Apoptosis is a cellular suicide program that plays a critical role in development and human diseases, including cancer. Cancer cells evade apoptosis, thereby enabling excessive proliferation, survival under hypoxic conditions, and acquired resistance to therapeutic agents. Among various mechanisms that contribute to the evasion of apoptosis in cancer, metabolism is emerging as one of the key factors. Cellular metabolites can regulate functions of pro- and antiapoptotic proteins. In turn, p53, a regulator of apoptosis, also controls metabolism by limiting glycolysis and facilitating mitochondrial respiration. Consequently, with dysregulated metabolism and p53 inactivation, cancer cells are well-equipped to disable the apoptotic machinery. In this article, we review how cellular apoptosis is regulated and how metabolism can influence the signaling pathways leading to apoptosis, especially focusing on how glucose and lipid metabolism are altered in cancer cells and how these alterations can impact the apoptotic pathways.

Abstract
The coexistence and competition between superconductivity and electronic orders, such as spin or charge density waves, have been a central issue in high transition-temperature (Tc) superconductors. Unlike other iron-based superconductors, FeSe exhibits nematic ordering without magnetism whose relationship with its superconductivity remains unclear. Moreover, a pressure-induced fourfold increase of Tc has been reported, which poses a profound mystery. Here we report high-pressure magnetotransport measurements in FeSe up to ∼15 GPa, which uncover the dome shape of magnetic phase superseding the nematic order. Above ∼6 GPa the sudden enhancement of superconductivity (Tc≤38.3 K) accompanies a suppression of magnetic order, demonstrating their competing nature with very similar energy scales. Above the magnetic dome, we find anomalous transport properties suggesting a possible pseudogap formation, whereas linear-in-temperature resistivity is observed in the normal states of the high-Tc phase above 6 GPa. The obtained phase diagram highlights unique features of FeSe among iron-based superconductors, but bears some resemblance to that of high-Tc cuprates.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Prevention of letrozole–induced bone loss using oral risedronate has not been proved in the Japanese women. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of risedronate 17.5mg/week on bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal, early breast cancer patients scheduled to receive adjuvant letrozole.
Patients and Methods
Postmenopausal women with hormone receptor–positive early breast cancer were assigned to one of two strata according to their baseline BMD T-score as being at low and high risk of osteoporosis. Patients with low risk (-2.5 ≤ T score) were randomly assigned to letrozole and risedronate (L+R) or to letrozole alone (L). Patients with high risk (-2.5 > T score) received letrozole and risedronate (L+R). Letrozole was given at a dosage of 2.5 mg/day while oral risedronate was given at 17.5mg/week. The primary end point was the change in lumbar spine (LS) BMD at 12 months. The secondary end points included change in total hip (HP) BMD and bone turnover markers.
Results
In the low risk group (N=103), treatment with L+R resulted in a significant increase in BMD at LS and at HP compared to treatment with L only at 12 months (1.8% vs -2.2%, P < 0.001, and -0.3% vs -2.9%, P = 0.001, respectively). In the L+R group, significant decreases in bone turnover makers, NTX and PINP, were recognized compared with L only at 12months (-11.1% vs. 27.5%, P<0.001, -42.3% vs. 15.2%, P<0.001, respectively). In the high risk group (N=28), treatment with L+R resulted in a significant increase in BMD at LS and prevention of decrease in BMD at HP (3.6%; 95%CI, 1.8% to 5.3%, p=0.003, 0.3%; 95%CI, -1.3% to 1.8%, p=0.47, respectively).

Four patients (14.3%) improved from osteoporotic region to the osteopenic region with L+R treatment. Letrozole and risedronate were well tolerable and there was no serious adeverse event including osteonecrosis of jaw.
Conclusions
At 12 months, 17.5mg/week risedronate therapy prevented bone loss in postmenopausal women with breast cancer who were receiving adjuvant letrozole, of which results were compatible with previous findings of western populations.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Human papilloma virus detection in oropharyngeal cancer with gargle samples. OBJECTIVE human papilloma virus (HPV) is a major risk factor for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) and knowledge of a patient's HPV status is clinically important in terms of treatment and prognosis. The practicality of using oral gargle samples to reliably detect HPV in patients with OPSCC remains unclear. Therefore, we evaluated the feasibility of HPV detection in gargle samples of OPSCC patients using an HPV-dedicated nucleic acid amplification test (cobas 4800 HPV Test; Roche Diagnostics K.K.). METHODOLOGY 15 patients with histologically proven OPSCC were evaluated from May 2014 to March 2015. Swab sam- ples served as positive controls and were tested using both the Hybrid Capture II HPV Test (HC-II; Digene Corporation) and the cobas 4800 HPV Test. Oral gargle samples were tested using the cobas 4800 HPV Test. Five of the 15 patients were confirmed to be HPV-positive by a combination of p16 immunohistochemistry, HPV-DNA in situ hybridization and nucleic acid amplification. RESULTS the sensitivity and specificity of the gargling method were 60% and 100%, respectively. No false-positives were obtained. Detection of HPV in two very small tumours rising from the base of the tongue was difficult and these cases were overlooked as HPV-negative. CONCLUSIONS use of the gargling method to determine HPV positivity in OPSCC patients appears feasible, except in patients with very small tumours. Real-time polymerase chain reaction using gargle samples may have greater clinical efficacy than the swabbing method.

Abstract
Blockade of fatty acid synthase (FASN), a key enzyme involved in de novo lipogenesis, results in robust death of ovarian cancer cells. However, known FASN inhibitors have proven to be poor therapeutic agents due to their ability to induce cachexia. Therefore, we sought to identify additional targets in the pathway linking FASN inhibition and cell death whose modulation might kill ovarian cancer cells without the attendant side effects. Here, we show that the initiator caspase-2 is required for robust death of ovarian cancer cells induced by FASN inhibitors. REDD1 (also known as Rtp801 or DDIT4), a known mTOR inhibitor previously implicated in the response to FASN inhibition, is a novel caspase-2 regulator in this pathway. REDD1 induction is compromised in ovarian cancer cells that do not respond to FASN inhibition. Inhibition of FASN induced an ATF4-dependent transcriptional induction of REDD1; downregulation of REDD1 prevented orlistat-induced activation of caspase-2, as monitored by its cleavage, proteolytic activity, and dimerization. Abrogation of REDD1-mediated suppression of mTOR by TSC2 RNAi protected FASN inhibitor-sensitive ovarian cancer cells (OVCA 420 cells) from orlistat-induced death. Conversely, suppression of mTOR with the chemical inhibitors PP242 or rapamycin sensitized DOV13, an ovarian cancer cell line incapable of inducing REDD1, to orlistat-induced cell death through caspase-2. These findings indicate that REDD1 positively controls caspase-2-dependent cell death of ovarian cancer cells by inhibiting mTOR, placing mTOR as a novel upstream regulator of caspase-2 and supporting the possibility of manipulating mTOR to enhance caspase-2 activation in ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) genetic variants are strongly associated with ribavirin (RBV)-induced anaemia during pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) plus RBV therapy. However, the treatment efficacy of ITPA genetic variants has not been fully explored. We enrolled 309 individuals infected with hepatitis C virus genotype 1, who were treated with PEG-IFN plus RBV for 48 weeks. The ITPA SNP: rs1127354 and IL28B SNP: rs8099917 were genotyped. We examined the risk factors for severe anaemia up to week 12 after the start of treatment and treatment efficacy. The incidence of severe anaemia, ≥ 3 g/dL reduction or <10 g/dL of haemoglobin (Hb) up to week 12, was more frequent in patients with CC at rs1127354 [65% (145/224), 33% (73/224)] than in those with CA/AA [25% (21/85), 6% (8/85)] (P < 0.0001). ITPA genotype, pretreatment Hb level and age were independent predictive factors for severe anaemia: Hb < 10 g/dL. In IL28B favourable type, the sustained virologic response rate was higher in ≥ 60-year-old patients with CA/AA than in those with CC [71% (22/31) vs 40% (26/65), P = 0.005], although there was no significant difference in treatment efficacy according to ITPA genetic variants in the <60-year-old patients. The proportion of patients administered ≥ 80% of the dosage of RBV was significantly higher in the patients with CA/AA than in those with CC (P = 0.025), resulting in a lower relapse rate. In conclusion, ITPA genetic variants were associated with severe RBV-induced anaemia and could influence the efficacy of PEG-IFN plus RBV treatment among elderly patients with IL28B favourable type.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is classified into several genotypes. Genotype G (HBV/G) is characterised by worldwide dispersion, low intragenotypic diversity and a peculiar sequence of the precore and core region (stop codon and 36-nucleotide insertion). As a rule, HBV/G is detected in co-infection with another genotype, most frequently HBV/A2. In a previous in vivo study, viral replication of HBV/G was significantly enhanced by co-infection with HBV/A2. However, the mechanism by which co-infection with HBV/A2 enhances HBV/G replication is not fully understood. In this study, we employed 1.24-fold HBV/A2 clones that selectively expressed each viral protein and revealed that the core protein expressing construct significantly enhanced the replication of HBV/G in Huh7 cells. The introduction of the HBV/A2 core promoter or core protein or both genomic regions into the HBV/G genome showed that both the core promoter and core protein are required for efficient HBV/G replication. The effect of genotype on the interaction between foreign core protein and HBV/G showed that HBV/A2 was the strongest enhancer of HBV/G replication. Furthermore, Western blot analysis of Dane particles isolated from cultures of Huh7 cells co-transfected by HBV/G and a cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter-driven HBV/A2 core protein expression construct indicated that HBV/G employed HBV/A2 core protein during particle assembly. In conclusion, HBV/G could take advantage of core proteins from other genotypes during co-infection to replicate efficiently and to effectively package HBV DNA into virions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial stewardship has not always prevailed in a wide variety of medical institutions in Japan. METHODS The infection control team was involved in the review of individual use of antibiotics in all inpatients (6348 and 6507 patients/year during the first and second annual interventions, respectively) receiving intravenous antibiotics, according to the published guidelines, consultation with physicians before prescription of antimicrobial agents and organisation of education programme on infection control for all medical staff. The outcomes of extensive implementation of antimicrobial stewardship were evaluated from the standpoint of antimicrobial use density, treatment duration, duration of hospital stay, occurrence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and medical expenses. RESULTS Prolonged use of antibiotics over 2 weeks was significantly reduced after active implementation of antimicrobial stewardship (2.9% vs. 5.2%, p < 0.001). Significant reduction in the antimicrobial consumption was observed in the second-generation cephalosporins (p = 0.03), carbapenems (p = 0.003), aminoglycosides (p < 0.001), leading to a reduction in the cost of antibiotics by 11.7%. The appearance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and the proportion of Serratia marcescens to Gram-negative bacteria decreased significantly from 47.6% to 39.5% (p = 0.026) and from 3.7% to 2.0% (p = 0.026), respectively. Moreover, the mean hospital stay was shortened by 2.9 days after active implementation of antimicrobial stewardship. CONCLUSION Extensive implementation of antimicrobial stewardship led to a decrease in the inappropriate use of antibiotics, saving in medical expenses, reduction in the development of antimicrobial resistance and shortening of hospital stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) is a growing health problem, little is known about long-term radiographic outcome and factors for deterioration in patients with MAC-PD. METHODS Data on patients with nodular bronchiectatic (NBE) MAC-PD who underwent regular follow-up for >5 years were retrospectively reviewed. Changes in plain chest radiograph (CXR) and baseline characteristics were compared between the stable and deteriorated groups. RESULTS Seventy-two patients were investigated, including 30 patients who were examined 10 years after the initial visit. One patient (1.4%) showed progressive or remarkably progressive disease on CXR at 1 year; this rate increased to 22.2% at 5 years and to 53.3% at 10 years. Body mass index (BMI) at the initial visit was lower in the deteriorated group than in the stable group. Cavitary disease and resistance to a macrolide were seen more frequently at the initial visit in the deteriorated group than in the stable group. CONCLUSIONS NBE MAC-PD is a slowly but substantially progressive long-term infection (5-10 years). Our data suggest that patients with lower BMI, cavitary disease and resistance to a macrolide at initial visit are more likely to progress to deteriorating disease.
