Abstract
Humanized mice are widely used to study the human immune system in vivo and investigate therapeutic targets for various human diseases. Immunodeficient NOD/Shi-scid-IL2rγnull (NOG) mice transferred with human hematopoietic stem cells are a useful model for studying human immune systems and analyzing engrafted human immune cells. The gut microbiota plays a significant role in the development and function of immune cells and the maintenance of immune homeostasis; however, there is currently no available animal model that has been reconstituted with human gut microbiota and immune systems in vivo. In this study, we established a new model of CD34+ cell-transferred humanized germ-free NOG mice using an aseptic method. Flow cytometric analysis revealed that the germ-free humanized mice exhibited a lower level of human CD3+ T cells than the SPF humanized mice. Additionally, we found that the human CD3+ T cells slightly increased after transplanting human gut microbiota into the germ-free humanized mice, suggesting that the human microbiota supports T cell proliferation or maintenance in humanized mice colonized by the gut microbiota. Consequently, the dual-humanized mice may be useful for investigating the physiological role of the gut microbiota in human immunity in vivo and for application as a new humanized mouse model in cancer immunology.

Abstract
BackgroundAlthough each bDMARD target different molecules, no optimal drug selection method has been established. Because studies directly comparing TNF-i and IL-17-i have shown that these drugs are equally effective, the establishment of an optimal selection method for these drugs can contribute to better patient outcomes. We reported the possibility of stratification of patients by peripheral blood lymphocytes phenotyping and precision medicine based on the selective use of bDMARDs in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). However, since peripheral blood lymphocytes phenotyping is complex, the development of simple methods using biomarkers to stratify patients and simple treatment strategies based on such methods is needed to promote precision medicine in a real-world clinical setting.ObjectivesWe explored whether serum cytokines could be used as biomarkers for optimal use TNF-i and IL-17-i in patients with PsA.MethodsIn cohort 1 (IL-17-i [n=23] or TNF-i [n=24] for ≥1 year), we identified serum cytokines that predicted the achievement of DAPSA remission (REM), PASI 90 and Minimal Disease Activity after 1 year of TNF-i or IL-17-i therapy. Subsequently, we developed treatment strategies based on the identified cytokines. In cohort 2, treatment responses were compared between the strategic treatment group (n=17), which was treated based on the treatment strategies, and the mismatched treatment group (n=17) to verify the validity of the treatment strategies developed using serum cytokines as biomarkers.ResultsIn cohort 1, serum IL-22 concentrations were statistically identified as a predictor of DAPSA remission after 1 year of IL-17-i therapy. However, no baseline serum cytokines were identified as factors contributing to achievement of DAPSA-REM in the TNF-i-treated group or achievement of PASI90 and Minimal Disease Activity in either group. Using a cut-off value of 0.61376 (sensitivity, 81.8%; specificity, 91.7%; area under the curve, 0.848) determined by a ROC analysis, we stratified 47 patients into the IL-22 high group (n=25) (0.61376<) and the IL-22 low group (n=22) (< 0.61376). Serum IL-17 concentrations were significantly higher in both the IL-22 high and IL-22 low groups than in the healthy control (HC), whereas no significant difference was observed between the IL-22 high and IL-22 low groups. The serum TNF-α concentrations did not significantly differ between the IL-22 low and HC; however, they were significantly higher in the IL-22 high group than in the HC and IL-22 low groups. Based on these results, we created treatment strategies using TNF-i and IL-17-i based on serum IL-22 concentrations, that is, initiation of IL-17-i therapy in patients with low IL-22 concentrations and TNF-i therapy in patients with high IL-22 concentrations. To validate the efficacy of the treatment strategies, we retrospectively compared the efficacy of the bDMARDs at 1 year between the following groups in cohort 2. The strategic treatment group (n=17) included patients with low IL-22 concentrations who were treated with IL-17-i and those with high IL-22 concentrations who were treated with TNF-i. The mismatched treatment group (n=17) included patients with low IL-22 concentrations who were treated with TNF-i and those with high IL-22 concentrations who were treated with IL-17-i. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in baseline characteristics at the initiation of bDMARD. After initiation of bDMARD, tender joint counts, swollen joint counts, CRP, DAPSA, and PASI were significantly improved in both groups. When the treatment responses over 1 year were compared between the two groups, the rate of achieving DAPSA-REM (58.8% vs. 25.3%, P=0.0399) and Minimal Disease Activity (82.3% vs. 41.2%, P=0.0162) at M12 was significantly higher in the strategic treatment group. There were no statistically significant differences in the rates of achieving PASI75 or PASI90 at M 6 or 12.ConclusionWe verified that serum IL-22 can be used as a simple biomarker for the proper selection of TNF-i and IL-17-i.AcknowledgementsThe authors thank the study participants, without whom this study could not have beenaccomplished, and all medical staff at all participating institutions for providing the data,especially Ms. Hiroko Yoshida, Ms. Youko Saitou, Ms. Machiko Mitsuiki and Ms. AyumiMaruyama for the excellent data management.

Abstract
Increase of the enteric bacteriophages (phage), components of the enteric virome, has been associated with the development of inflammatory bowel diseases. However, little is known about how a given phage contributes to the regulation of intestinal inflammation. In this study, we isolated a new phage associated with Enterococcus gallinarum, named phiEG37k, the level of which was increased in C57BL/6 mice with colitis development. We found that, irrespective of the state of inflammation, over 95% of the E. gallinarum population in the mice contained phiEG37k prophage within their genome and the phiEG37k titers were proportional to that of E. gallinarum in the gut. To explore whether phiEG37k impacts intestinal homeostasis and/or inflammation, we generated mice colonized either with E. gallinarum with or without the prophage phiEG37k. We found that the mice colonized with the bacteria with phiEG37k produced more Mucin 2 (MUC2) that serves to protect the intestinal epithelium, as compared to those colonized with the phage-free bacteria. Consistently, the former mice were less sensitive to experimental colitis than the latter mice. These results suggest that the newly isolated phage has the potential to protect the host by strengthening mucosal integrity. Our study may have clinical implication in further understanding of how bacteriophages contribute to the gut homeostasis and pathogenesis.

Abstract
In our previous studies, we revealed the effect of lactose inclusion in calf starters on the growth performance and gut development of calves. We conducted the present study as a follow-up study to identify the shift in rumen microbiota and its relation to rumen fermentation when calves are fed a lactose-containing starter. Thirty Holstein bull calves were divided into 2 calf starter treatment groups: texturized calf starter (i.e., control; n = 15) or calf starter in which starch was replaced with lactose at 10% (i.e., LAC10; n = 15) on a dry matter basis. All calves were fed their respective treatment calf starter ad libitum from d 7, and kleingrass hay from d 35. Rumen digesta were collected on d 80 (i.e., 3 wk after weaning) and used to analyze rumen microbiota and fermentation products. There was no apparent effect of lactose feeding on the α-diversity and overall composition of rumen microbiota. Amplicon sequencing and real-time PCR quantification of the 16S rRNA gene confirmed that the abundance of butyrate-producing bacteria (i.e., Butyrivibrio group and Megasphaera elsdenii) did not differ between the control and LAC10 groups. Conversely, the relative abundance of Mitsuokella spp., which produce lactate, succinate, and acetate, was significantly higher in the rumen of calves that were fed lactose, whereas the lactate concentration did not differ between the control and LAC10 groups. These findings suggest that the lactate production can be elevated by an increase of Mitsuokella spp. and then converted into butyrate, not propionate, since the proportion of propionate was lower in lactose-fed calves. In addition, we observed a higher abundance of Coriobacteriaceae and Pseudoramibacter-Eubacterium in the LAC10 group. Both these bacterial taxa include acetate-producing bacteria, and a positive correlation between the acetate-to-propionate ratio and the abundance of Pseudoramibacter-Eubacterium was observed. Therefore, the higher abundance of Coriobacteriaceae, Mitsuokella spp., and Pseudoramibacter-Eubacterium in the rumen of lactose-fed calves partially explains the increase in the proportion of rumen acetate that was observed in our previous study.

Abstract
To avoid microbial contamination risk, vinyl film isolators are generally used in animal microbiome experiments involving germ-free (GF) mice and/or
gnotobiotic (GB) mice. However, it can take several months to gain expertise in operating the isolator competently. Furthermore, sterilization and sterility
testing, which are essential for isolator preparation, can take more than 20 days. Hence, we built an experimental rearing environment that combines an
individual ventilation cage system and a bioBUBBLE clean room enclosure to easily set up an experimental animal microbiome environment for animal facilities. In
this work, a three-step evaluation was conducted. First, we examined whether GF mice can be maintained in this rearing environment without bacterial
contamination. Next, we examined whether GF and GB mice can be maintained without cross-contamination in one individual ventilation cage rack. Finally, we
tested whether GF mice can be maintained in a biological safety cabinet controlled by negative pressure. In our series of experiments, no microbial
contamination occurred over more than 3 months. These results indicated that our rearing system that combines the individual ventilation cage and bioBUBBLE
systems can be used not only for experiments with GF mice but also for Biosafety Level 2 experiments that handle bacteria. Our system can mitigate various
disadvantages of using vinyl film isolators. In conclusion, we established an experimental method with improved working time and efficiency compared with those
of the previous vinyl isolator method.

Abstract
Zanthoxylum piperitum (ZP, 'Japanese pepper') is a traditional medicine and pepper used in Asian countries such as Japan. Hydroxy-α-sanshool, a pungent-tasting substance contained within ZP, has been reported to slightly suppress immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated mast cell degranulation. The current study aims to newly identify anti-allergic compounds derived from ZP. We examine the inhibitory mechanisms behind IgE-mediated mast cell degranulation. By inhibitory effect-guided isolation, we identified degranulation inhibitory compounds derived from ZP fruit: 1-acetoxy-7-hydroxy-3, 7-dimethylocta-2E, 5E-diene (ZP1) and 8-hydroxygeranyl acetate (ZP2). ZP1 and ZP2 inhibited IgE-mediated degranulation and A23187-mediated degranulation in RBL-2H3 mast cells. Our findings suggest the inhibition of degranulation by ZP1 and ZP2 was by inhibition of Lyn phosphorylation, followed by inhibition of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, protein kinase C alpha phosphorylation, membrane ruffling, and granule-to-plasma membrane fusion. Oral administration of ZP1 or ZP2 attenuated an IgE-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylactic reaction in mice. Histological observation suggests that this effect occurred via inhibition of mast cell degranulation. These findings indicate that ZP1 and ZP2 attenuate allergic reaction via inhibition of IgE-mediated mast cell degranulation.

Abstract
Transverse single-spin asymmetries of very forward neutral pions generated in polarized p+p collisions allow us to understand the production mechanism in terms of perturbative and nonperturbative strong interactions. During 2017, the RHICf Collaboration installed an electromagnetic calorimeter in the zero-degree region of the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and measured neutral pions produced at pseudorapidity larger than 6 in polarized p+p collisions at sqrt[s]=510 GeV. The large nonzero asymmetries increasing both in longitudinal momentum fraction x_{F} and transverse momentum p_{T} have been observed at low transverse momentum p_{T}<1 GeV/c for the first time, at this collision energy. The asymmetries show an approximate x_{F} scaling in the p_{T} region where nonperturbative processes are expected to dominate. A non-negligible contribution from soft processes may be necessary to explain the nonzero neutral pion asymmetries.

Abstract
The most recent version of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was published in 2018, and covered the diagnosis, management, treatment and follow-up of early, intermediate and advanced disease. At the ESMO Asia Meeting in November 2018 it was decided by both the ESMO and the Taiwan Oncology Society (TOS) to convene a special guidelines meeting immediately after the Taiwan Joint Cancer Conference (TJCC) in May 2019 in Taipei. The aim was to adapt the ESMO 2018 guidelines to take into account both the ethnic and the geographic differences in practice associated with the treatment of HCC in Asian patients. These guidelines represent the consensus opinions reached by experts in the treatment of patients with intermediate and advanced/relapsed HCC representing the oncology societies of Taiwan (TOS), China (CSCO), India (ISMPO) Japan (JSMO), Korea (KSMO), Malaysia (MOS) and Singapore (SSO). The voting was based on scientific evidence, and was independent of the current treatment practices, the drug availability and reimbursement situations in the individual participating Asian countries.

Abstract
Smoking in young adulthood is more common among those from households with smokers. Being from smoking households is linked to low educational levels in young adulthood. More childhood household smokers corresponds to worse outcomes for young adults. Exposure to household smokers in childhood appears to perpetuate health inequality.
Smoking in young adulthood is a risk factor for future health-related disabilities and a cause of expanding health inequalities. Education and smoking are inversely associated. Using population-based representative data, this study aimed to clarify how the presence of household smokers during childhood related to both current smoking status and educational attainment among young adults. Surveys were distributed to young adults (19–20 years) invited to coming-of-age ceremonies in 2014–2017 in a rural area in Japan. Data were collected on low educational attainment (defined as ≤ 12 years of education), current smoking status, and childhood household smoking status. We used logistic regression models to calculate odds ratios (ORs) of low educational attainment for household smoking status. A total of 17.6% of men (n = 1077) and 3.8% of women (n = 1021) were current smokers. Current smoking was more common among participants from households with smokers (P < 0.001 for both men and women). The odds of low educational attainment were significantly higher for participants from smoking households (OR: 1.59, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.17–2.17 for men; OR: 2.29, 95% CI: 1.61–3.24, for women). All associations were characterized by a dose–response relationship with the number of household smokers. The number of household smokers in childhood was positively associated with current smoking and negatively associated with level of educational attainment among young adults. Controlling for year and geographical area, exposure to family smokers in childhood appears to be a risk factor for the intergenerational transmission of health inequalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gemcitabine plus cisplatin (GC) is the standard treatment of advanced biliary tract cancer (BTC); however, it causes nausea, vomiting, and anorexia, and requires hydration. Gemcitabine plus S-1 (GS) reportedly has equal to, or better, efficacy and an acceptable toxicity profile. We aimed to confirm the non-inferiority of GS to GC for patients with advanced/recurrent BTC in terms of overall survival (OS). PATIENTS AND METHODS We undertook a phase III randomized trial in 33 institutions in Japan. Eligibility criteria included chemotherapy-naïve patients with recurrent or unresectable BTC, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status of 0 - 1, and adequate organ function. The calculated sample size was 350 with a one-sided α of 5%, a power of 80%, and non-inferiority margin hazard ratio (HR) of 1.155. The primary end point was OS, while the secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), response rate (RR), adverse events (AEs), and clinically significant AEs defined as grade ≥2 fatigue, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, oral mucositis, or diarrhea. RESULTS Between May 2013 and March 2016, 354 patients were enrolled. GS was found to be non-inferior to GC [median OS: 13.4 months with GC and 15.1 months with GS, HR, 0.945; 90% confidence interval (CI), 0.78-1.15; P = 0.046 for non-inferiority]. The median PFS was 5.8 months with GC and 6.8 months with GS (HR 0.86; 95% CI 0.70-1.07). The RR was 32.4% with GC and 29.8% with GS. Both treatments were generally well-tolerated. Clinically significant AEs were observed in 35.1% of patients in the GC arm and 29.9% in the GS arm. CONCLUSIONS GS, which does not require hydration, should be considered a new, convenient standard of care option for patients with advanced/recurrent BTC. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER This trial has been registered with the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (http://www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/index.htm), number UMIN000010667.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although drug-eluting stents (DES) have substantially reduced the need for early target lesion revascularization (TLR) compared with bare-metal stents (BMS) by inhibiting neointima hyperplasia, early generation DES have been associated with an increased risk of very late stent failure (VLSF) due to stent thrombosis and TLR after 1 year. Although the incidence of VLSF is reduced with newer generation DES, VLSF remains an unresolved problem and its mechanisms are not fully explored.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate quality and quantity of neointima and presence of thrombus by using coronary angioscopy at long-term follow-up in patients who experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with BMS and DES on dual antiplatelet therapy.
Methods
Coronary angioscopy was performed at 6 and 10 months after BMS and DES implantation, respectively, in ACS patients. We assessed neointimal coverage (NC) of the stent struts, yellow color grade (YG) of stented segment and the existence of thrombus. Angioscopic NC was defined as follows: grade 0= fully visible struts; grade 1= visible struts through thin neointima; grade 2= no visible struts. We determined maximum (Max-NC) and minimum coverage (Min-NC) grades and the dominant NC grades. YG was classified into 4 grades (0= white; 1= slight yellow; 2= yellow; 3= intensive yellow). The obtained findings were compared with BMS, first-generation (1st-) DES, second-generation (2nd-) DES and third-generation (3rd-) DES.
Results
A total of 212 patients were enrolled: BMS (n=127), 1st DES (n=26, sirolimus-eluting stent), 2nd-DES (n=38, permanent polymer everolimus-eluting stent), and 3rd-DES (n=21, bioresorbable polymer everolimus-eluting stent). Max-NC and Min-NC grade were significantly lower with 1st- and 2nd-DES than with BMS and 3rd-DES (Figure). The same trend was also observed in the dominant NC grades. There was a lower trend of YG in BMS and 3rd-DES than in 1st or 2nd-DES (Figure). The presence of thrombus was significantly lower in 3rd-DES in comparison with BMS, 1st-, and 2nd-DES (3rd-DES 0%, BMS 20.5%, 1st-DES 24%, 2nd-DES 13.5%, P=0.01).
Figure 1
Conclusion
Patients treated with 3rd-DES have higher NC grade, lower incidence of intrastent thrombus, and lower YG than in 1st and 2nd-DES. These findings may explain the lower incidence of VLSF associated with these newer generation stent platforms.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has widely spread for treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, the effects of EVAR on vascular function remain to be clarified. According to several reports, changes in aortic stiffness after EVAR reflect badly on future cardiovascular events. Recently, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is accepted as the most simple and reproducible method to determine the aortic stiffness.
Purpose
We aimed to evaluate the change of baPWV following EVAR and investigate the relationship between the aortic stiffness and the long-term outcomes following EVAR.
Methods
We enrolled 172 patients who underwent primary EVAR between January 2009 and December 2017 in our University hospital. Patients with saccular aneurysm, iliac aneurysm and pseudo aneurysm were excluded from the analysis. PWV data were collected before and 1 week after EVAR. PWV was measured as the mean baPWV values of both lower limbs. The long-term outcomes were evaluated with the cardiovascular event and AAA changing rate (mm/year) which was calculated by computed tomographic scanning at the preoperative and latest imaging studies. The cardiovascular event was defined as the expansion of thoracic or abdominal aortic aneurysm (>10 mm or >5 mm/year), central nervous system disorder, acute heart failure, new arrhythmia, peripheral arterial disease. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the cut off values of preoperative baPWV (pre-PWV) and postoperative baPWV (post-PWV) for the risk factor of cardiovascular event.
Results
The mean age was 76.6±7.5 years and 149 patients (86.7%) were male. The mean follow-up period was 41.6±27.0 months. The mean AAA changing rate was −1.84±4.72 mm/year. Post-PWV was significantly increased compared to pre-PWV (pre-PWV v.s. post-PWV; 1885±382 cm/s vs. 2060±528 cm/s, p<0.0001). The optimal cut-off values of the pre and post PWV for predicting cardiovascular events were 1900 cm/s and 2100 cm/s, respectively. The Kaplan-Meier curves indicate that 5 year-cardiovascular event free rates were 45.9% in the patients with pre PWV ≥1900 cm/s and 73.2% in the patients with pre PWV <1900 cm/s (p=0.0185). Similarly, 5 year-cardiovascular event free rates were 46.6% in the patients with post-PWV ≥2100cm/s and 73.4% in the patients with post PWV <2100 cm/s (p=0.0162). Furthermore, the linear regression analysis indicated that post-PWV values correlated positively with the AAA changing rate (r=0.1811, p=0.0195) while pre-PWV was not associated with AAA changing rate (r=0.1211, p=0.1201).
Conclusions
Our results show that EVAR increase aortic stiffness in the acute phases and high post-baPWV is associated with poor shrinkage of abdominal aortic aneurysm in EVAR patients. This is the first study to demonstrate the association between high PWV and poor long-term outcome in endovascular aneurysm repair patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most troublesome complications in colorectal surgery. Recently, near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging has been used intraoperatively to detect sentinel lymph nodes and visualize the blood supply at the region of interest (ROI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of visualization and quantification of bowel perfusion around the anastomosis using NIRF system in predicting AL. METHODS A prospective study was conducted on patients who had laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer at our institution. Perfusion of the anastomosis was evaluated with NIRF imaging after intravenous injection of indocyanine green (ICG). The time course of fluorescence intensity was recorded by an imaging analyzer We measured the time from ICG injection to the beginning of fluorescence (T0), maximum intensity (Imax), time to reach Imax (Tmax), time to reach Imax 50% ([Formula: see text]) and slope (S) after the anastomosis. RESULTS Tumor locations were as follows; cecum: 2, ascending colon: 2, transverse colon: 7, descending colon: 1, sigmoid colon: 2, rectosigmoid colon: 3 and rectum: 6 (one case with synchronous cancer). All operations were performed laparoscopically. Four patients were diagnosed with or suspected to have AL (2 patients with grade B anastomotic leakage after low anterior resection, 1 patient with minor leakage in transverse colon resection and 1 patient needing re-anastomosis intraoperatively in transverse colon resection). T0 was significantly longer in the AL group than in patients without AL (64.3 ± 27.6 and 18.2 ± 6.6 s, p = 2.2 × 10-3). CONCLUSIONS Perfusion of the anastomosis could be successfully visualized and quantified using NIRF imaging with ICG. T0 might be a useful parameter for prediction of AL.

Abstract
Background There is a lack of large studies focusing on the prognostic significance of lateral lymph node (LLN) metastasis following LLN dissection (LLND) in rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of LLN metastases on survival of patients with advanced low rectal cancer. Methods Consecutive patients with locally advanced, but not metastatic, extraperitoneal rectal cancer treated with neoadjuvant (chemo)radiotherapy plus total mesorectal excision between 2004 and 2015 were included in the study. LLND was performed when pretreatment imaging documented enlarged LLNs (7 mm or greater in size). Localization of nodal metastases and long‐term outcomes were analysed. Kaplan–Meier analysis was used to compare the survival of patients with ypN0 disease with that of patients with mesorectal ypN+/LLN− status and patients with positive LLNs. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to evaluate predictors of disease‐free survival (DFS) and local recurrence. Results A total of 613 patients were included in the study; LLND was performed in 212 patients (34·6 per cent) and 57 (9·3 per cent) had LLN metastasis. Patients with LLN metastasis had improved DFS and local recurrence cumulative incidence rates compared with patients with mesorectal ypN2+/LLN− disease (DFS: P = 0·014; local recurrence: P = 0·006). Although the DFS rate of patients with LLN metastasis was worse than that of patients with ypN0 disease (P < 0·001), the cumulative incidence of local recurrence was similar (P = 0·491). In multivariable analysis, residual LLN metastasis was not an independent predictor of worse DFS or local recurrence. Conclusion LLN metastasis is not an independent predictor of local recurrence or survival. Survival of patients presenting with LLN metastasis after (chemo)radiotherapy was intermediate between that of patients with ypN0 status and those with mesorectal ypN2 positivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence suggests that radiotherapy success has an immune-associated component. The immunogenomic profiles associated with responses to chemoradiotherapy (CRT) were assessed in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer in this study. METHODS CD8+ tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) and stromal lymphocyte densities were assessed by immunohistochemistry using pretreatment biopsies from patients with advanced rectal cancer who had preoperative CRT. Whole-exome sequencing and gene expression microarray analysis were conducted to investigate the genomic properties associated with the response to CRT and CD8+ TIL density. Response to CRT was determined based on Dworak tumour regression grade (TRG); tumours with complete (TRG 4) or near-complete (TRG 3) regression were grouped as good responders, and those with TRG 1 as non-responders. RESULTS Immunohistochemical examinations (275 patients) showed that pre-CRT CD8+ TIL density was associated with better response to CRT and improved recurrence-free survival, whereas pre-CRT stromal CD8+ cell density was not associated with either response to CRT or recurrence-free survival. Whole-exome sequencing (74 patients) showed that the numbers of single-nucleotide variations (SNVs) and neoantigens predicted from SNVs were higher in good responders than in non-responders, and these correlated positively with CD8+ TIL density (rS = 0·315 and rS = 0·334 respectively). Gene expression microarray (90 patients) showed that CD8A expression correlated positively with the expression of programmed cell death 1 (PDCD1) (rS = 0·264) and lymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG3) (rS = 0·507). CONCLUSION Pre-CRT neoantigen-specific CD8+ T cell priming may be a key event in CRT responses where immune checkpoint molecules could be useful targets to enhance tumour regression.

Abstract
The efficacy of early enteral nutrition after esophageal cancer surgery has been reported. However, the choice of formula and management of diarrhea are important to achieve the goal of enhanced recovery after surgery. The aim of this study is to assess the frequency of diarrhea/completion rate of enteral nutrition regimen as primary endpoints and the postoperative nutritional status/body composition analysis/operative morbidity as secondary endpoints was compared between the two nutrition groups. Among the 122 patients who underwent esophagectomy for esophageal cancer between December 2015 and September 2017, 67 patients who met the eligibility criteria were randomly assigned to receive enteral nutrition with either HINE E-GEL® (HINE group; n = 33) or MEIN® (MEIN group; n = 34). The incidence of diarrhea was significantly lower in the HINE group (18.2 % vs. 64.7 %, P < 0.001). The score of Bristol scale of POD 6/7 was significantly lower in the HINE group (P = 0.019/P = 0.006, respectively). The completion rate of enteral nutrition regimen was significantly higher in the HINE group (97.4 % vs. 86.6 %, P = 0.002). The Controlling Nutritional Status scores and total protein levels at 6 months after surgery were significantly better in the HINE group (P = 0.030 and P = 0.023, respectively), indicating improved tendency in nutritional status in the HINE group. However, there were no significant differences in Prognostic Nutritional Index values, blood test results, rapid turnover proteins, body mass index, or body composition between the two groups. HINE E-GEL compared with MEIN may reduce the frequency of diarrhea, enabling patients to adhere to the scheduled enteral nutrition plan. Also, maintenance of nutritional status with HINE E-GEL was comparable or potentially better in some nutrition components to that with MEIN, indicating that HINE E-GEL can be an option for enteral nutrition following esophageal surgery to achieve the goal of successful completion of scheduled enteral nutrition and smooth transition to the normal diet.

Abstract
Transverse single spin asymmetry, AN, of very forward π0 production from polarized p + p collisions provides new information toward an understanding of its production mechanism. AN of forward π0 in the pseudorapidity region of 3 < η < 4 has been described by the partonic structure of the proton in the perturbative QCD framework. However, recent data indicates a potential contribution from not only partonic but also diffractive interactions. In order to provide a new insight on the origin of the AN, we measured the very forward π0 production in the pseudorapidity region of 6 < η from √s = 510 GeV polarized p + p collisions at RHIC in 2017. We report our measurement of the very forward π0 over the transverse momentum range of 0 < pT < 1 GeV/c and the preliminary result.

Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider forward and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider forward experiments measured forward particles produced in high-energy hadron collisions at the LHC and RHIC. Using compact calorimeters neutral particles produced in pseudorapidities η >8.4 and η >6.0 are observed by the respective experiments. Because the collision energies ranging from 0.51 TeV to 13 TeV correspond to the cosmic-ray equivalent energies of 1014 to 1017 eV, the measurements are important to understand the hadronic interaction relevant to extensive air shower measurements. This paper reviews recent results of LHCf and initial performance of RHICf that took data in the 2017 RHIC operation.

Abstract
Japanese apricot (Prunus mume; ume) is a traditional food in Japan that has been shown to have various beneficial health effects. There is some evidence to suggest that ume is also effective against allergic disease. Here, we conducted a cross-sectional epidemiological pilot study to examine the association between ume intake frequency and allergic symptoms including rhinitis in 563 adults (288 men and 275 women) who resided in Wakayama, Japan. After adjusting for age, present illness and medication, women with high ume intake had significantly lower odds ratio (OR) for the presence of symptoms of allergy [OR: 0.49 with 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.25-0.97]. Therefore, we investigated the anti-allergic effect of ume on passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction in immunoglobulin E (IgE)-sensitized mice. The animal study demonstrated that oral administration of ume extract attenuated the PCA reaction and mast cell degranulation. Furthermore, RBL-2H3 mast cells were used to identify anti-allergic ume compounds. The following ume compounds inhibited IgE-mediated mast cell degranulation: vanillin, syringic acid, protocatechuic aldehyde, lyoniresinol and p-coumaric acid. These results suggested that ume has the potential to inhibit mast cell degranulation and may be associated with reduced risk of allergic symptoms in women.

Abstract
Purpose Among the factors that adversely affect the time needed for ambulance transport, one factor for which intervention is possible is the time it takes to choose a medical receiving facility. This research clarified the characteristics of the time, location, and severity of medical emergencies in which the choice of hospital was difficult.Methods The research covered a 1-year period from January 1 through December 31, 2014, investigating all incidents of ambulance transport for patients in Wakayama Prefecture, except for those involving pediatric patients, amounting to a total of 41,574 incidents. Of those, the number of referrals was missing in 129 cases and the remaining 41,445 incidents were analyzed. Cases with 4 or more referrals were adopted as an indicator of difficulty in choosing a hospital. Using binary logistic regression analysis, odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed for the times and locations of emergency calls, and the degree of injury or illness. A comprehensive analysis was performed, and stratified analysis by Major Diagnostic Category (MDC) was performed, examining external injuries, burns, and poisoning; nervous system disorders; digestive system, liver, biliary tract, and pancreatic disorders; respiratory disorders; and circulatory system disorders.Results The distribution of numbers of referrals ranged from 1 to 12, and 79.6% of cases involved 1 referral, while cases with 4 or more referrals made up 3.5% of the total. In the overall analysis, for cases with 4 or more referrals, call times were examined using weekday working hours as a reference; all other times had high ORs (at 95%CI). The highest OR (95%CI) of 4.0 (3.2-5.0) was for late nights during weekends and holidays. Regarding the degree of injury or illness, using moderate and mild injuries as a reference, the number of referrals (3 times or fewer) was significantly lower for severe injuries and incidents of death (0.8;0.7-0.9). However, in the results of the stratified analysis by MDC, external injuries, burns, and poisoning; severe injury; and death each had an OR (95%CI) of 1.4 (1.0-1.8).Conclusion The relationship between the time, location, and severity of medical emergencies was examined using the number of referrals as an indicator of difficulty with hospital choice in ambulance transport. This research clarified that cases late at night during weekends and holidays, and moderate and mild injuries caused the most difficulty, and that the problems depended on the secondary medical district.
