Abstract
BACKGROUND Distinguishing between central nervous system lymphoma (CNSL) and CNS infectious and/or demyelinating diseases, although clinically important, is sometimes difficult even using imaging strategies and conventional cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analyses. To determine whether detection of genetic mutations enables differentiation between these diseases and the early detection of CNSL, we performed mutational analysis using CSF liquid biopsy technique. METHODS In this study, we extracted cell-free DNA from the CSF (CSF-cfDNA) of CNSL (N = 10), CNS infectious disease (N = 10), and demyelinating disease (N = 10) patients, and performed quantitative mutational analysis by droplet-digital PCR. Conventional analyses were also performed using peripheral blood and CSF to confirm the characteristics of each disease. RESULTS Blood hemoglobin and albumin levels were significantly lower in CNSL than CNS infectious and demyelinating diseases, CSF cell counts were significantly higher in infectious diseases than CNSL and demyelinating diseases, and CSF-cfDNA concentrations were significantly higher in infectious diseases than CNSL and demyelinating diseases. Mutation analysis using CSF-cfDNA detected MYD88L265P and CD79Y196 mutations in 60% of CNSLs each, with either mutation detected in 80% of cases. Mutual existence of both mutations was identified in 40% of cases. These mutations were not detected in either infectious or demyelinating diseases, and the sensitivity and specificity of detecting either MYD88/CD79B mutations in CNSL were 80% and 100%, respectively. In the four cases biopsied, the median time from collecting CSF with the detected mutations to definitive diagnosis by conventional methods was 22.5 days (range, 18-93 days). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that mutation analysis using CSF-cfDNA might be useful for differentiating CNSL from CNS infectious/demyelinating diseases and for early detection of CNSL, even in cases where brain biopsy is difficult to perform.

Abstract
Rodent animal models for vital pulp therapy are commonly used in dental research because their tooth anatomy and cellular processes are similar to the anatomy and processes in humans. However, most studies have been conducted using uninfected sound teeth, which makes it difficult to adequately assess the inflammatory shift after vital pulp therapy. In the present study, we aimed to establish a caries-induced pulpitis model based on the conventional rat caries model and then evaluate inflammatory changes during the wound-healing process after pulp capping in a model of reversible pulpitis induced by carious infection. To establish the caries-induced pulpitis model, the pulpal inflammatory status was investigated at different stages of caries progression by immunostaining targeted to specific inflammatory biomarkers. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that both Toll-like receptor 2 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen were expressed in moderate and severe caries-stimulated pulp, indicating that an immune reaction occurred at both stages of caries progression. M2 macrophages were predominant in moderate caries-stimulated pulp, whereas M1 macrophages were predominant in the severe caries-stimulated pulp. Pulp capping in teeth with moderate caries (i.e., teeth with reversible pulpitis) led to complete tertiary dentin formation within 28 d after treatment. Impaired wound healing was observed in teeth with severe caries (i.e., teeth with irreversible pulpitis). During the wound-healing process in reversible pulpitis after pulp capping, M2 macrophages were predominant at all time points; their proliferative capacity was upregulated in the early stage of wound healing compared with healthy pulp. In conclusion, we successfully established a caries-induced pulpitis model for studies of vital pulp therapy. M2 macrophages have an important role in the early stages of the wound-healing process in reversible pulpitis.

Abstract
Although vital pulp therapy should be performed by promoting the wound-healing capacity of dental pulp, existing pulp-capping materials were not developed with a focus on the pulpal repair process. In previous investigations of wound healing in dental pulp, we found that organic dentin matrix components (DMCs) were degraded by matrix metalloproteinase-20, and DMC degradation products containing protein S100A7 (S100A7) and protein S100A8 (S100A8) promoted the pulpal wound-healing process. However, the direct use of recombinant proteins as pulp-capping materials may cause clinical problems or lead to high medical costs. Thus, we hypothesized that functional peptides derived from recombinant proteins could solve the problems associated with direct use of such proteins. In this study, we identified functional peptides derived from the protein S100 family and investigated their effects on dental pulp tissue. We first performed amino acid sequence alignments of protein S100 family members from several mammalian sources, then identified candidate peptides. Next, we used a peptide array method that involved human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) to evaluate the mineralization-inducing ability of each peptide. Our results supported the selection of 4 candidate functional peptides derived from proteins S100A8 and S100A9. Direct pulp-capping experiments in a rat model demonstrated that 1 S100A8-derived peptide induced greater tertiary dentin formation compared with the other peptides. To investigate the mechanism underlying this induction effect, we performed liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis using hDPSCs and the S100A8-derived peptide; the results suggested that this peptide promotes tertiary dentin formation by inhibiting inflammatory responses. In addition, this peptide was located in a hairpin region on the surface of S100A8 and could function by direct interaction with other molecules. In summary, this study demonstrated that a S100A8-derived functional peptide promoted wound healing in dental pulp; our findings provide insights for the development of next-generation biological vital pulp therapies.

Abstract
Abstract
In this paper, the viscoplastic material model of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), which is intended to be used in the FEM (finite element method) simulation of stretch blow molding process, has been studied. Material tests of PET were performed with the constant strain rates varying from 0.01 to 1 (1/s), at temperatures ranging from 90 to 150 °C, based on the obtained data a two-stage model was proposed. The proposed model could precisely take into account the effects of strain hardening, strain rate sensitivity, variation of the hardening index, and temperature dependency. This model has been implemented into the nonlinear finite element code PBLOW3D, which is developed in the Riken, and its performance in the stretch blow molding simulation has been studied. It has been demonstrated that the proposed material model provides significant improvements, compared with two existing material models, in the simulation of the blow molding process of PET bottles.

Type of funding sources: None.
Background
Epsilon waves on V1-3 leads are specific ECG findings in patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular (RV) cardiomyopathy (ARVC) suggesting RV conduction delay. Four dimensional (4D) cardiac CT visualizes ARVC characteristics, such as fibro-fatty invasion into RV and left ventricular (LV) myocardium (RVM, LVM), an enlarged RV, reduced RV motion, and bulging.
Purpose
We hypothesize that Epsilon waves in V4-6 leads suggest LV invasion in ARVC. Alternatively, extreme RV enlargement may compress the LV and cause clockwise rotation; an enlarged RV may itself cause epsilon waves in V4-6 leads.
Methods
Retrospective analysis of 17 patients (11 males, 57 ± 17 yrs) with suspected ARVC undergoing cardiac CT and ECG, 9 of whom met 2010 ARVC task force criteria.
Results
All 9 patients had epsilon waves on ECG; 5 had fibro-fatty invasion into the LVM. We divided the 9 into 5 groups by CT: 1) markedly enlarged RV compressing the LV to the left side with fibro-fatty changes exclusively in RVM (N = 1); 2) similar findings in both RVM and LVM (N = 2); 3) moderately enlarged RV without compression of the LV to the left side and fibro-fatty changes exclusively in RVM (N = 3); 4) the same in both RVM and LVM (N = 2); 5) severe mitral valve regurgitation, a markedly enlarged LV, and a fibro-fatty change in both RVM and LVM (N = 1). The patient in group (gp) 1 showed epsilon waves in V1-6 leads, patients in gp 2 had epsilon waves in V1-6 (N = 1), and V3-5 (N = 1) leads; patients in gp 3 had epsilon waves in V1-4 (N = 2), and V1-3 (N = 1) leads, patients in gp 4 had epsilon waves in V1-3 (N = 1), and V1, 2 (N = 1) leads; finally, the patient in gp 5 had epsilon waves in V4-6 leads. Plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were significantly greater in patients in gp 1 & 2 than gp 3 & 4 (1255 ± 838 vs 80 ± 52 pg/ml, P = 0.016).
Conclusions
ARVC patients with a markedly enlarged RV compressing the LV to the left side (gp 1,2) had a broad (V1-6) or different range (V3-5) distribution of epsilon waves and significantly elevated plasma BNP independent of fibro-fatty invasion of the LV, different from typical ARVC (gp 3,4). Additionally, structural change due to complicated heart disease, such as valvular disease (gp5), may also influence the distribution of epsilon waves in ARVC. Abstract Figure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effectiveness of treatment with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) assessed by ultrasonography (US) activity, and the influence of patient characteristics and previous treatments. METHOD This prospective study assessed 60 treatment initiations among 53 Japanese patients diagnosed with RA who underwent treatment with JAK inhibitors during June 2013 to February 2020. Of the 53 patients, seven patients were enrolled in duplicate because they were treated with two different JAK inhibitors at different periods. For each case, the improvement rate on the power Doppler (PD) score was assessed at 6 month follow-up. Median improvement rate of PD score was used to classify cases as either US responders or non-responders, and patient characteristics were compared between the two groups. RESULTS All indicators of clinical disease activity and US activity showed a significant improvement at 3 months compared with baseline. Although the JAK inhibitor-cycler group and the interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibitor inadequate response (IR) group tended to show a later improvement for US activity, all indicators of clinical disease activity and US activity showed a significant improvement at 6 months compared with baseline for both groups. Multivariate analysis showed that concomitant methotrexate use and an IR to the previous biologic or targeted-synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (b/tsDMARD) treatment were independently and significantly associated with US responders. CONCLUSION Use of a JAK inhibitor in combination with methotrexate and an absence of IR to any previous b/tsDMARDs demonstrated superior effectiveness for patients with RA.

Abstract
Objectives: Using multicentre ultrasound (US) cohort data among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we aimed to identify baseline factors that permit differentiation between two patient cohorts achieving US remission and clinical remission, and to determine the factors contributing to the discrepancy.Method: We reviewed 248 Japanese patients diagnosed with RA who underwent treatment with biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs at 13 centres. We performed US assessments of the synovia of 22 joints. We assessed the percentages of patients with clinical remission and US remission, defined as total power Doppler scores of 0 at 12 months.Results: The 87 patients who achieved US remission were divided into a group that achieved both clinical and US remission (n = 53) and a group that achieved US remission only (n = 34). Baseline factors that were significantly and independently associated with clinical remission at 12 months among patients who also achieved US remission included short disease duration, the presence of concomitant methotrexate use, and low patient global assessment score (p < 0.05, p < 0.05, and p < 0.005, respectively).Conclusions: RA patients with baseline high patient global assessment scores and long disease duration at baseline were unlikely to achieve clinical remission even after achieving US remission. Objective joint assessments using US provide additional information of potential importance for the management of RA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) is an autoimmune disease that is sometimes complicated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RPILD). However, serum and lung biomarkers that can predict RPILD development remain unclear. OBJECTIVES To determine potential serum and lung biomarkers that can predict RPILD development in patients with PM/DM-ILD. METHODS In total, 49 patients with PM/DM-ILD were enrolled. We measured the serum levels of 41 cytokines/chemokines, ferritin and anti-MDA5 antibody, compared them between the RPILD (n = 23) and non-RPILD (n = 26) groups, and ranked them by their importance through random forest analysis. To distinguish the two groups, we determined biomarker combinations by logistic regression analysis. We also measured the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of 41 cytokines/chemokines. Using immunohistochemistry, we examined IL-15 expression in lung tissues. The IL-15 production was also investigated using A549 and BEAS-2B cells. RESULTS The RPILD group had significantly higher IL-15, IL-1RA, IL-6, CXCL10, VCAM-1, anti-MDA5 antibody and ferritin serum levels than the non-RPILD group, but it had a significantly low CCL22 level. Meanwhile, anti-MDA5 antibody, IL-15, CXCL8, CCL22, IL-1RA and ferritin were the best combination to distinguish the two groups. IL-15 and CCL22 were also predictive marker for RPILD development in anti-MDA5 antibody-positive patients. Additionally, the RPILD group had significantly high IL-15 levels in BALF. The lung tissues expressed IL-15, which increased after cytokine stimulation in the A549 cells. CONCLUSION This study identified a combination of biomarkers predicting PM/DM-RPILD progression, and IL-15 is an important cytokine for predicting RPILD development and reflecting ILD severity.

Abstract
Objective: To determine whether the positivity of baseline anti-Ro/Sjögren's syndrome antigen A (SSA) antibodies influences the response to abatacept, we compared therapeutic responses between anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative and -positive patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using a multicentre RA ultrasonography prospective cohort. Method: We reviewed Japanese patients with RA who started abatacept as the first biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug between June 2013 and April 2018. We assessed 28-joint Disease Activity Score-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) change between baseline and 6 or 12 months after treatment in RA patients treated with abatacept, and European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response at 6 and 12 months. The Global OMERACT-EULAR Synovitis Score (GLOESS) was calculated at baseline and at 6 and 12 months. Results: Overall, 51 patients were enrolled and divided into anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative and -positive groups of 35 and 16, respectively. Median age at baseline was significantly higher in the anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative group (p = 0.04). The retention rate and percentage of EULAR good responders at 12 months were significantly higher in the anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative group (both p = 0.02). Anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative patients exhibited larger decreases in both DAS28-ESR and DAS28-C-reactive protein at 12 months than anti-Ro/SSA antibody-positive patients (p = 0.02 and 0.04, respectively). GLOESS decreased significantly at 6 months in anti-Ro/SSA antibody-negative patients (p = 0.03). Multivariate analyses showed that anti-Ro/SSA antibody positivity was an independent factor associated with change in the DAS28-ESR at 6 months (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Anti-Ro/SSA antibody positivity predicts a poor response to abatacept and low retention rate.

Abstract
CD5-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (CD5+ DLBCL) is characterized by poor prognosis and a high frequency of central nervous system relapse after standard immunochemotherapy. We conducted a phase II study to investigate the efficacy and safety of dose-adjusted (DA)- EPOCH-R (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and rituximab) combined with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) in newly diagnosed patients with CD5+ DLBCL. Previously untreated patients with stage II to IV CD5+ DLBCL according to the 2008 World Health Organization classification were eligible. Four cycles of DA-EPOCH-R followed by two cycles of HD-MTX and four additional cycles of DAEPOCH- R (DA-EPOCH-R/HD-MTX) were planned as the protocol treatment. The primary end point was 2-year progression-free survival (PFS). Between September 25, 2012, and November 11, 2015, we enrolled 47 evaluable patients. Forty-five (96%) patients completed the protocol treatment. There were no deviations or violations in the DA-EPOCH-R dose levels. The complete response rate was 91%, and the overall response rate was 94%. At a median follow up of 3.1 years (range, 2.0-4.9 years), the 2- year PFS was 79% [95% confidence interval (CI): 64-88]. The 2-year overall survival was 89% (95%CI: 76-95). Toxicity included grade 4 neutropenia in 46 (98%) patients, grade 4 thrombocytopenia 12 (26%) patients, and febrile neutropenia in 31 (66%) patients. No treatment-related death was noted during the study. DA-EPOCH-R/HD-MTX might be a first-line therapy option for stage II-IV CD5+ DLBCL and warrants further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS HBV reactivation is a risk in patients receiving anti-CD20 antibodies for the treatment of lymphoma. The purpose of this post hoc analysis was to evaluate the efficacy of an ultra-high sensitivity HBsAg assay to guide preemptive antiviral treatment in patients with lymphoma and resolved HBV infections using prospectively stored samples from an HBV DNA monitoring study. METHODS HBV reactivation (defined as HBV DNA levels of ≥11 IU/ml) was confirmed in 22 of 252 patients. A conventional HBsAg assay (ARCHITECT, cut-off value: 0.05 IU/ml) and an ultra-high sensitivity HBsAg assay employing a semi-automated immune complex transfer chemiluminescence enzyme technique (ICT-CLEIA, cut-off value: 0.0005 IU/ml) were performed at baseline, at confirmed HBV reactivation and monitored after HBV reactivation. RESULTS Baseline HBsAg was detected using ICT-CLEIA in 4 patients; in all of whom precore mutants with high replication capacity were reactivated. Of the 6 patients with HBV DNA detected below the level of quantification at baseline, 5 showed HBV reactivation and 3 of the 5 had precore mutations. Sensitivity for detection by ARCHITECT and ICT-CLEIA HBsAg assays at HBV reactivation or the next sampling after HBV reactivation was 18.2% (4 of 22) and 77.3% (17 of 22), respectively. Of the 5 patients undetectable by ICT-CLEIA, HBV reactivation resolved spontaneously in 2 patients. All 6 patients reactivated with precore mutations including preS deletion could be diagnosed by ICT-CLEIA HBsAg assay at an early stage of HBV reactivation. Multivariate analysis showed that an anti-HBs titer of less than 10 mIU/ml, HBV DNA detected but below the level of quantification, and HBsAg detected by ICT-CLEIA at baseline were independent risk factors for HBV reactivation (adjusted hazard ratios, 15.4, 31.2 and 8.7, respectively; p <0.05). CONCLUSIONS A novel ICT-CLEIA HBsAg assay is an alternative method to diagnose HBV reactivation. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER UMIN000001299. LAY SUMMARY Hepatitis B virus can be reactivated in lymphoma patients receiving anti-CD20 antibodies such as rituximab. Currently, reactivation requires the monitoring of HBV DNA, but monitoring of the surface antigen (HBsAg) could provide a relatively inexpensive, quick and easy alternative. We assessed the performance of an ultra-high sensitivity HBsAg assay and showed that it could be effective for the diagnosis and monitoring of HBV reactivation.

Abstract
Fusions of the Runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) with different partner genes have been associated with various hematological disorders. Interestingly, the C-terminally truncated form of RUNX1 and RUNX1 fusion proteins are similarly considered important contributors to leukemogenesis. Here, we describe a 59-year-old male patient who was initially diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, inv(16)(p13;q22)/CBFB-MYH11 (FAB classification M4Eo). He achieved complete remission and negative CBFB-MYH11 status with daunorubicin/cytarabine combination chemotherapy but relapsed 3 years later. Cytogenetic analysis of relapsed leukemia cells revealed CBFB-MYH11 negativity and complex chromosomal abnormalities without inv(16)(p13;q22). RNA-seq identified the glutamate receptor, ionotropic, kinase 2 (GRIK2) gene on 6q16 as a novel fusion partner for RUNX1 in this case. Specifically, the fusion of RUNX1 to the GRIK2 antisense strand (RUNX1-GRIK2as) generated multiple missplicing transcripts. Because extremely low levels of wild-type GRIK2 were detected in leukemia cells, RUNX1-GRIK2as was thought to drive the pathogenesis associated with the RUNX1-GRIK2 fusion. The truncated RUNX1 generated from RUNX1-GRIK2as induced the expression of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor on 32D myeloid leukemia cells and enhanced proliferation in response to G-CSF. In summary, the RUNX1-GRIK2as fusion emphasizes the importance of aberrantly truncated RUNX1 in leukemogenesis.

Abstract
Background:AAV is an autoimmune disease characterized by systemic vasculitis and pauci-immune-type crescentic glomerulonephritis (CGN) with ANCA production1). Several authors have reported cases of ANCA-associated CGN with definite IC deposits2)3), however, the clinical significance of IC in patients with ANCA-associated CGN remains unclear.Objectives:To investigate the clinical relevance of serum immune complexes (ICs) in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) patients.Methods:We developed a novel proteomic strategy for identifying and profiling antigens in immune complexes in the serum of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) patients. The serum was collected from the cohort of Japan Research Committee of the Ministry of Health Labour, Welfare for Intractable Vasculitis (JPVAS) before treatment and 6 months after initiation of treatment. The serum from healthy individuals was used for control samples. The Baseline data of each patient was collected with demographic information, laboratory data, disease activity according to the Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) 2003, disease severity, and imaging data.Results:We were able to examine 91 AAV patients (52 MPA patients and 39 GPA patients) with 82.4% for MPO-ANCA positive and 20.9% for PR3-ANCA positive. Almost half of the patients was female (56.0%). The median age was 70 years [interquartile range (IQR): 64-77]. The median BVAS was 17 (IQR: 12-23). We identified autoantigen of EGF-containing fibulin-like extracellular matrix protein 1 (EFEMP1) in 43 of MPA (82.6%) and 16 of GPA (41.0%) at baseline. After 6 months of treatment, no cases of EFEMP1 were identified in MPA and GPA. The clinical features of EFEMP1 positive in AAV patients were higher age at onset (p <0.01), less ear, nose and throat symptoms at initiation of treatment (p <0.05), higher serum Cr at initiation of treatment (p <0.01), higher vasculitis damage index (VDI) renal component at 12 months and 24 months after initiation of treatment (both p <0.05).Conclusion:Our findings indicate that an autoantigen as immune complexes of EFEMP1 were involved in the pathogenesis of AAV patients and may predict renal prognosis.References:[1]Wilde B et.al, Kidney Int. 2011 Mar;79(6):599-612.[2]Falk RJ et.al, J Am Soc Nephrol. 1997 Feb;8(2):314-22.[3]Haas M et.al, Kidney Int. 2004 Jun;65(6):2145-52.Table.Comparison with and without EFEMP1 (all cases)groupEFEMP1 positive (n=59)EFEMP1 negative (n=32)**p-valueSex(%male)27/59 (45.8%)13/32 (40.6%)0.665Age, years74 (66-78)68 (60-71)0.003WBC(/ml)8270 (7325-12725)9150 (7325-11700)0.280Cr(mg/dl)1.4 (0.9-3.8)0.8 (0.6-1.5)0.005CRP(mg/dl)7.0 (2.3-12.5)7.6 (4.0-11.0)0.566MPA(%)43/59 (72.9%)9/32 (28.1%)<0.001GPA(%)16/59 (27.1%)23/32 (71.9%)<0.001MPO-ANCA positive54/59 (91.5%)24/32 (65.6%)0.003PR3-ANCA positive*7/56 (12.5%)12/32 (37.5%)0.012BVAS total15 (12-20)20 (12-25)0.087BVAS renal positive53/59 (89.8%)26/32 (81.3%)0.332BVAS chest positive16/59 (27.1%)14/32 (43.4%)0.161BVAS ENT positive17/59 (28.8%)18/32 (56.3%)0.014BVAS systemic positive40/59 (67.8%)24/32 (75.0%)0.631VDI renal 6 months1 (0-2)0 (0-1)0.053VDI renal 12 months1 (0-2)0 (0-1)0.007VDI renal 24 months1 (0-2)0 (0-1)0.012IQR interquartile range.

Abstract
Background:It has been reported that the incidence of cancer in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is higher than that in healthy individuals, but the findings are inconsistent1. In the transplantation field, a few studies indicated an association between the use of immunosuppressants and an increased risk of cancer2. Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs), which include cyclosporine and tacrolimus, have been used for >30 years to treat renal and extrarenal manifestations of SLE, but the effects of exposure to CNIs among SLE patients have not been established.Objectives:We investigated the incidence of various cancers (including cervical dysplasia) among SLE patients registered in the LUpus registry of NAtionwide institution (LUNA). We also investigate whether the registrants’ exposure to CNIs increased the risk of cancer.Methods:We calculated the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of cancer among SLE patients based on the age-standardized incidence rate of cancer reported by Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. A multivariate analysis of the risk of cancer was performed using the covariates of age, smoking history, CNI treatment history, maximum steroid dose in the past, and Systemic Lupus International Collaboration Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index [SDI]) value (excluding the occurrence of cancer) at the time of the patient’s registration.Results:We studied 714 patients (663 females; 88.9%).The median age at registry was 44 [interquartile range (IQR): 35–56] years. The median past max. steroid dose was 40 mg/day (IQR: 30–60 mg/day), and the SDI at registration was 1 (IQR 0–2). Smoking history was present in 248 patients (34.9%), and 53 patients (7.4%) experienced cancer complications. Gynecologic malignancies accounted for 71% of all cancers, including 12 cervical dysplasia cases. The standardized incidence rate of cancer in these SLE patients was 1.46 (95%CI: 1.07–1.85, p<0.01). The multivariate analysis showed that a CNI treatment history was not a risk factor for the development of cancer (OR 1.76, 95%CI: 0.63–4.88, p=0.30). After the covariance was adjusted for the propensity score, the risk of cancer in the CNIs group was not increased compared to the non-CNIs group (adjusted OR 2.46, 95%CI: 0.68–8.91, p=0.20).Conclusion:The incidence of cancer in SLE was higher in the LUNA cohort than in the general population. Our results suggest that CNI treatment for individuals with SLE is not a risk factor for the development of cancer.References:[1]Ladouceur A. et.al, Expert Rev Clin Immunol. 2018 Oct;14(10):793-802.[2]Gutierrez-Dalmau A. et.al, Drugs 2007;67(8):1167-98.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Background:Cardiovascular disease(CVD) has been identified as a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with lupus nephritis(LN)1) 2). There is a clear causal relationship between the onset of neonatal lupus (cardiac complications) and SS-A antibodies3) 4), but no association has been reported in adults. In recent years, there have been reports from overseas that suggest the association between CVD and anti-SS-A antibody in adult systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients5) 6). So far, no studies have not been reported to evaluate the relationship between anti-SS-A antibody and the risk of developing CVD in LN in a large cohort of patients with SLE in Japan.Objectives:The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between anti-SS-A antibody and the risk of developing CVD in LN patients using a multicenter registration study [Lupus registry of nationwide institution (LUNA)] in Japan.Methods:We identified 931 patients diagnosed with SLE in the Lupus registry of nationwide institution (LUNA), and further identified 275 LN patients with known the presence or absence of both development of CVD and presence of anti-SS-A antibody. We defined the exposure factor as anti-SS-A antibody, and the outcome as CVD. SELENA-SLEDAI score (at diagnosis), eGFR <60%, HbA1c, BMI, and steroid pulse treatment history were used as confounding factors and we analyzed using logistic regression analysis.Results:We found 68 patients (24.7%) complicated with CVD, including percarditis (7.3%), cerebrovascular disorder (6.2%), peripheral Arterial Disease (6.2%), Ischemic heart disease (2.9%),venous thromboembolism (2.9%),pulmonary hypertension (1.5%), vulvular heart disease (1.1%), and cardiomyopathy (0.4%). In univariate analysis, there was no significant difference in the occurrence of CVD depending on the presence or absence of anti-SS-A antibody (p = 0.32), and the results of multivariate analysis showed no significant difference in anti-SS-A antibody [p = 0.23, odds: 0.41, 95% confidence interval (0.09-1.89)].Conclusion:The association between anti-SS-A antibody and the development of CVD in LN patients in Japan has not been identified.References:[1]Lupus. 2000;9(3):166-9[2]Arthritis Rheum.2019 Mar;71(3):403-410,[3]J Intern Med 265:653-662, 2009[4]Nat Clin Pract Rheumatol 5:139-148, 2009[5]Ann Rheum Dis 1990;49:627-629[6]Chest. 2018 Jan;153(1):143-151.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare disease for which there is no available standard treatment. We aimed to ascertain the safety and activity of R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone) with high-dose methotrexate and intrathecal chemotherapy as CNS-oriented therapy for patients with previously untreated IVLBCL. METHODS PRIMEUR-IVL is a multicentre, single-arm, phase 2 trial at 22 hospitals in Japan. Eligible patients had untreated histologically confirmed IVLBCL, were aged 20-79 years, had an Eastern Cooperative Group performance status of 0-3, and had no apparent CNS involvement at diagnosis. Patients received three cycles of R-CHOP (rituximab 375 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 [except cycle one, which was on day 8]; cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m2, doxorubicin 50 mg/m2, and vincristine 1·4 mg/m2 [maximum 2·0 mg] intravenously on day 1 of cycle one and day 2 of cycles two and three; and prednisolone 100 mg/day orally on days 1-5 of cycle one and days 2-6 of cycles two and three) followed by two cycles of rituximab with high-dose methotrexate (3·5 g/m2 intravenously on day 2 of cycles four and five) every 2 weeks and three additional cycles of R-CHOP. Intrathecal chemotherapy (methotrexate 15 mg, cytarabine 40 mg, and prednisolone 10 mg) was administered four times during the R-CHOP phase. The primary endpoint was 2-year progression-free survival. Efficacy analyses were done in all enrolled patients; safety analyses were done in all enrolled and treated patients. The trial is registered in the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000005707) and the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs041180165); the trial is ongoing for long-term follow-up. FINDINGS Between June 16, 2011, and July 21, 2016, 38 patients were enrolled, of whom 37 were eligible; one patient was excluded because of a history of testicular lymphoma. Median follow-up was 3·9 years (IQR 2·5-5·5). 2-year progression-free survival was 76% (95% CI 58-87). The most frequent adverse events of grade 3-4 were neutropenia and leucocytopenia, which were reported in all 38 (100%) patients. Serious adverse events were hypokalaemia, febrile neutropenia with hypotension, hypertension, and intracerebral haemorrhage (reported in one [3%] patient each). No treatment-related deaths occurred during protocol treatment. INTERPRETATION R-CHOP combined with rituximab and high-dose methotrexate plus intrathecal chemotherapy is a safe and active treatment for patients with IVLBCL without apparent CNS involvement at diagnosis, and this regimen warrants future investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The INBUILD trial investigated the efficacy and safety of nintedanib versus placebo in patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We aimed to establish the effects of nintedanib in subgroups based on ILD diagnosis. METHODS The INBUILD trial was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial done at 153 sites in 15 countries. Participants had an investigator-diagnosed fibrosing ILD other than IPF, with chest imaging features of fibrosis of more than 10% extent on high resolution CT (HRCT), forced vital capacity (FVC) of 45% or more predicted, and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLco) of at least 30% and less than 80% predicted. Participants fulfilled protocol-defined criteria for ILD progression in the 24 months before screening, despite management considered appropriate in clinical practice for the individual ILD. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 by means of a pseudo-random number generator to receive nintedanib 150 mg twice daily or placebo for at least 52 weeks. Participants, investigators, and other personnel involved in the trial and analysis were masked to treatment assignment until after database lock. In this subgroup analysis, we assessed the rate of decline in FVC (mL/year) over 52 weeks in patients who received at least one dose of nintedanib or placebo in five prespecified subgroups based on the ILD diagnoses documented by the investigators: hypersensitivity pneumonitis, autoimmune ILDs, idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia, unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and other ILDs. The trial has been completed and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02999178. FINDINGS Participants were recruited between Feb 23, 2017, and April 27, 2018. Of 663 participants who received at least one dose of nintedanib or placebo, 173 (26%) had chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, 170 (26%) an autoimmune ILD, 125 (19%) idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia, 114 (17%) unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and 81 (12%) other ILDs. The effect of nintedanib versus placebo on reducing the rate of FVC decline (mL/year) was consistent across the five subgroups by ILD diagnosis in the overall population (hypersensitivity pneumonitis 73·1 [95% CI -8·6 to 154·8]; autoimmune ILDs 104·0 [21·1 to 186·9]; idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia 141·6 [46·0 to 237·2]; unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia 68·3 [-31·4 to 168·1]; and other ILDs 197·1 [77·6 to 316·7]; p=0·41 for treatment by subgroup by time interaction). Adverse events reported in the subgroups were consistent with those reported in the overall population. INTERPRETATION The INBUILD trial was not designed or powered to provide evidence for a benefit of nintedanib in specific diagnostic subgroups. However, its results suggest that nintedanib reduces the rate of ILD progression, as measured by FVC decline, in patients who have a chronic fibrosing ILD and progressive phenotype, irrespective of the underlying ILD diagnosis.

Abstract
Abstract
A study was designed to compare the Kjel-Foss automated macro-Kjeldahl method and a block digestion- steam distillation method. The official AOAC Kjeldahl method was used as a reference procedure. Six products with a crude protein range of 10-30% were analyzed by 23 laboratories. Five laboratories analyzed the samples by the official AOAC method, 8 laboratories used the automated Kjel-Foss method, and 11 laboratories used the block digestion with steam distillation method. Standard deviations for each product and each method for both repeatability and reproducibility are given. The block digestion- steam distillation method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the dentinogenetic effects of tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease (TIMP1) on human pulp cells in vitro and rat pulp tissue in vivo. METHODOLOGY The effect of TIMP1 on pulp cell functions related to hard tissue formation as part of the wound healing process (i.e. biocompatibility, proliferation, differentiation and mineralized nodule formation) was evaluated in vitro and using a direct pulp capping experimental animal model in vivo. The effects of different-sized cavity preparations on hard tissue formation induced by ProRoot MTA at 2 weeks were evaluated using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Tertiary dentine formation quality and quantity after pulp capping using TIMP1, ProRoot MTA and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was also evaluated after 4 weeks using micro-CT in term of dentine volume (DV), dentine mineral density (DVD) and histological analysis. The data were evaluated by Student's t-test, one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test, the Kruskal-Wallis test or the Steel-Dwass test. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS TIMP1 significantly stimulated dental pulp stem cell proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization and was more biocompatible compared with the PBS control (P < 0.05). In the pulp capping model, the amount of tertiary dentine that formed was directly proportional to the size of the pulp exposure; greater amounts of tertiary dentine were observed in pulps with larger exposures after 2 weeks. 4-week samples of TIMP1 and ProRoot MTA had similar characteristics, but both sample significantly induced tertiary dentine formation beneath the cavity compared with PBS (P < 0.05) under standardized cavity preparations. CONCLUSIONS TIMP1 has an important role in pulpal wound healing, which makes it a potential biological pulp capping material and candidate molecule for regenerative endodontic therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Several studies have shown the association between high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and poor prognosis in various cancer types, including breast cancer. On the other hand, menopausal status, which is an important consideration in breast cancer treatment, has been shown to be associated with changes in NLR levels. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the prognostic significance of preoperative NLR, especially in postmenopausal breast cancer patients.
Patients and methods: Between October 2003 and December 2014, 1868 women underwent surgery without neoadjuvant systemic therapy for primary breast cancer in our department. The optimal cutoff value of preoperative NLR was determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The patients were divided into two groups based on the NLR cutoff value of 3.34: High NLR (NLR value ≥ 3.34) and Low NLR (NLR value < 3.34). Correlations between clinicopathological characteristics and preoperative NLR were analyzed, and relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated.
Results: Among the 1868 patients, 286 (15.3%) and 1582 (84.7%) patients were classified into High NLR and Low NLR, respectively. Although the patients in High NLR was younger (p=0.0023), there were no significant correlations between NLR and all other prognostic factors, such as tumor size, lymph node status, and histological grade. High NLR was associated with tendency to shorter RFS (p=0.0583) and shorter OS (p=0.0303). In postmenopausal patients (n=1177), significant correlations were observed between High NLR and shorter RFS and OS (p=0.0002 and p=0.0011). However, NLR was not correlated with RFS and OS in premenopausal patients (n=691). Although the postmenopausal patients with relapsed cancer had higher NLR levels than those without relapse (p=0.0252), NLR levels were not correlated with relapse occurrence in premenopausal patients. Both univariate (p=0.0009) and multivariate (p=0.0015) analyses revealed that High NLR as well as larger tumor size, lymph node metastases, and higher histological grade was significantly associated with relapse in postmenopausal patients. Moreover, in postmenopausal patients, subgroup analysis according to cancer subtype revealed that High NLR was correlated with shorter RFS only in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer (p=0.0009), in those without adjuvant chemotherapy (p=0.0034) but not in those with adjuvant chemotherapy.
Conclusion: Elevated preoperative NLR is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in postmenopausal but not premenopausal patients with breast cancer. In postmenopausal patients, adjuvant chemotherapy may improve prognosis in patients with HR-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer, especially in those with elevated preoperative NLR.

Abstract
Background Lupus nephritis (LN) is a major risk factor for overall morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods We retrospectively analyzed cases of proliferative and membranous LN patients who underwent a renal biopsy at our hospital in 1993–2016. We analyzed the association between complete renal response (CR) rates at 12 months after induction therapy and predictive factors for CR and their association with renal flares. Results Of the 95 cases analyzed, we were able to track the therapeutic responses of 81 patients at 12 months after their induction therapy. The median follow-up duration after renal biopsy was 51 months (interquartile range: 16.5–154.5 months). The Cox proportional hazards model showed that, compared to not attaining CR at 12 months, the attainment of CR at 12 months was correlated with being free from renal flares. The multivariate logistic analysis revealed that the predictive factors for CR at 12 months were the anti-La/SSB antibodies (U/ml) (odds ratio (OR) 1.22, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01–1.63, p = 0.0220), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.44–0.90, p = 0.00048) and serum β2 microglobulin (MG) (OR 0.26, 95% CI 0.06–0.74, p = 0.00098) levels. Conclusions Among LN patients, being free from renal flares was associated with attaining CR at 12 months after induction therapy. Anti-La/SSB antibodies were a positive predictive factor, and BUN and serum β2MG levels were negative predictive factors of CR at 12 months.

Abstract
Elderly patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection are at increased risk for developing B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (B-LPD) due to immunosenescence. Here, we describe a case of a 75-year-old man who developed an EBV-positive (EBV+) mucocutaneous ulcer (EBVMCU) in the gingiva with spontaneous regression. Eighteen months after regression, he had a cervical lymph node enlargement that was diagnosed as EBV+ nodal polymorphous B-LPD, Ann Arbor stage IA. Clinicians decided to observe his clinical course without any treatment. Fourteen months later, the patient developed EBV-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Ann Arbor stage IIA, and received six courses of age-adjusted dose chemotherapy and achieved a complete remission. No evidence of a clonal relationship was found among these three lesions by standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis for immunoglobulin heavy chain. However, they all had expression of PD-L1 in the EBV+ large B-cells and Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg-like cells. This is the first case report of a PD-L1-positive (PD-L1+) EBVMCU and the development of multiple EBV-driven B-LPDs in the setting of immunosenescence within a 32-month period.

Abstract
Achieving enhanced coupling of solar radiation over the full range of the silicon absorption spectrum up to the bandgap is essential for increased efficiency of solar cells, especially thin film versions. While many designs for enhancing trapping of radiation have been explored, detailed measurements of light scattering inside silicon cells is still lacking. Here, we demonstrate experimentally and computationally that plasmonic-assisted localized and traveling modes can efficiently couple red and infrared radiation into ultrathin amorphous silicon (a-Si) layers. Utilizing patterned periodic arrays of aluminum nanostructures on thin a-Si, we perform specular and diffuse reflectivity and transmission measurements over a broad spectrum. Based on these results, we are able to separate parasitic absorption in aluminum plasmonic arrays from enhanced light absorption in the 200 nm thick amorphous silicon layer, as compared to a blank silicon layer. We discover a very efficient near-infrared a-Si absorption mechanism that occurs at the transition from the radiative to evanescent diffractive coupling, analogous to earlier surface-enhanced infrared studies. These results represent a direct demonstration of enhanced radiation coupling into silicon due to large angle scattering and show a path forward to improved ultrathin solar cell efficiency.

Abstract
Objective Gastric inhibitory polypeptide plays a role in glucose and lipid metabolism and is associated with obesity and insulin resistance. The objective of this study is to confirm the anti-obesity effects of the gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptor antagonist, SKL-14959, on diet-induced obesity mice. Method Diet-induced obesity mice at 20 weeks of age were administered with or without SKL-14959 for 96 d. Body weight and food intake were monitored throughout the experiment. Mice were sacrificed, and physiological and biochemical markers were measured, and then histochemical and gene expression analyses were also performed. In further studies, mice were orally gavaged with [14C]-oleic acid to investigate the excursion of digested lipids. Results SKL-14959 significantly suppressed weight gain without affecting food intake, decreased triacylglycerol contents in the liver and the muscle and the intensity stained with oil-red in the liver. It also improved plasma glutamic pyruvic transaminase and 3-hydroxybutyrate levels in addition to notably down-regulated relative gene expression of srebf1 and dgat1 in the liver despite not altering in the adipose tissue. Furthermore, SKL-14959 showed remarkable inhibition of lipid uptake in the adipose tissue after the oil challenge. Conclusion SKL-14959 inhibited lipids uptake and improved lipids metabolism, results in suppression of body-weight gain.

Abstract
Most bioartificial liver devices utilise primary hepatocytes alone although some have considered the use of non parenchymal cells in addition. However the effects of co-culture of human hepatocytes with different sinusoidal cell types has not been fully investigated. In this study we have examined the influence of co-culturing primary human hepatocytes with the human hepatic stellate cell (HSC) line, LI90. Cultures were monitored by light microscopy and on days 4, 8 and 14 urea synthesis and cytochrome P450 activity were measured. Morphologically LI90 cells proliferated to fill spaces between and into adjacent islands of hepatocytes. On day 14 cytochrome P450 activity in co-culture was significantly improved compared to hepatocytes cultured alone. By contrast, urea synthesis in hepatocytes was unaffected by single or co-culture. Therefore it can be concluded that a combination of primary human hepatocytes with LI90 cells is beneficial for growth and some stability of hepatocytes and may therefore be appropriate for seeding bioartificial liver devices.

Abstract
The novel WBN/Kob-Leprfa (fa/fa) congenic rat strain is considered a useful rat model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Accumulating findings suggest that low-grade inflammation is a causative factor in T2DM and that circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines are associated with insulin resistance. However, inflammatory cytokine profiles and their correlations with T2DM development/ progression in fa/fa rats have not been studied. In this study, we found that the fa/fa rats had considerably high plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-1α. Abundant cecal IL-1α mRNA expression and cecal inflammation with infiltrating IL-1α-producing macrophages was observed in fa/fa rats. Bone marrow derived macrophages from fa/fa rats expressed high levels of IL-1α upon lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Furthermore, Syphacia muris infection, which delays the onset of T2DM, reduced both plasma and cecal IL-1α levels in fa/fa rats. These results suggest that macrophage infiltration and IL-1α secretion comprise an important part of T2DM development and that S. muris infection inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in fa/fa rats.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Oncological margins and prognosis are the most important factors for operative planning of soft tissue sarcomas, but prediction of postoperative function is also necessary. The purpose of this study was to predict the knee flexion strength and postoperative function after knee flexor muscle resection for soft tissue sarcoma of the lower limbs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen patients underwent knee flexor muscle resection for soft tissue sarcoma of the lower limbs between 1991 and 2015. The type of resected muscles was surveyed, knee flexion strength (ratio of affected to unaffected side) was evaluated using the Biodex System isokinetic dynamometer, and differences between the type of resected muscles were examined. The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score, Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS), European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), and Short Form 8 (SF-8) were used to assess postoperative function and examine correlations with flexion strength. The cutoff value for flexion strength to predict good postoperative results was calculated by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and Fisher's exact test. RESULTS Median flexion strength decreased in the resection of sartorius (97.8%), gracilis (95.4%), gastrocnemius (85.2%; interquartile range (IQR): 85.0-86.2), medial hamstrings (semimembranosus and semitendinosus, 76.2%; IQR: 73.3-78.0), lateral hamstrings (long and short head of biceps femoris, 66.1%; IQR: 65.9-70.4), and bilateral hamstrings (27.3%; IQR: 26.6-31.5). A significant difference was observed between lateral and bilateral hamstrings resection (P=0.049). Flexion strength was associated with lower functional scales (MSTS score, P=0.021; TESS, P=0.008; EQ-5D, P=0.034). Satisfactory function was obtained at a flexion strength cutoff value of 65.7%, and strength remained above the cutoff value up to unilateral hamstrings resection. DISCUSSION Greater knee flexor muscles resection can result in functional deficits that are associated with decreased flexion strength. If continuity of unilateral hamstrings is maintained, good postoperative results can be expected. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV, retrospective study.
