Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has been reported to be strongly associated with the development of fundic gland polyps (FGPs). Conversely, a few cases of gastric hyperplastic polyps (GHPs) associated with PPI use have been reported. We experienced a case of PPI-associated multiple GHPs with uncontrollable bleeding. CASE REPORT A 64 year old man with a history of rheumatoid arthritis presented to the hospital with complaints of vertigo and black stools. Blood tests revealed anemia and hypoproteinemia. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) showed blood and black residue accumulated in the stomach. The source of the bleeding was multiple hyperplastic polyps. Bleeding could be stopped even with fasting, and total blood transfusions amounted to 28 units of RBCs were required in 18 days. After the cessation of PPI, EGD showed that the polyps had almost disappeared. Pathological diagnosis of resected polyp was hyperplastic polyp, which was characterized by capillary hyperplasia and edema. Gastrin receptors were over-expressed in the foveolar epithelium and not in the capillaries. Methotrexate (MTX)-induced portal hypertensive gastroenteropathy was revealed during follow-up. We consider that the effect of portal hypertension may have caused the capillary hyperplasia. CONCLUSION Although PPI-related polyps are usually fundic gland polyps and do not cause life-threatening adverse events, we experienced PPI-related GHPs in which hemostasis was difficult to control.

Abstract
Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (CCS) is a rare disease characterized by gastrointestinal polyposis, skin pigmentation, alopecia, and abnormal nailfolds. Although colorectal cancer has been reported in patients with CCS, reports are limited regarding the effectiveness of the usage of image-enhanced endoscopy in CCS lesions. Here, we report a case of CCS in which narrow-band imaging (NBI) magnifying endoscopy was applied to detect an adenomatous component in multiple hamartomatous polyps. A 79-year-old female complained of taste disorder, anorexia, and weight loss over several months. Endoscopic examination revealed multiple reddened polyps in the stomach and colon, leading to a diagnosis of CCS. Narrow-band imaging magnification showed sparse and dilated round pits on the CCS polyps. Furthermore, 12 out of the numerous colorectal CCS polyps had a coexisting light reddish elevated component with a regular distribution of microvessels and a regular reticular pattern. This pattern satisfied the criteria for Type 2A of the Japan Narrow-band-imaging Expert Team classification, indicating adenoma. After resection, these twelve polyps were subject to pathological analysis, which confirmed they were all hamartomatous polyps with low-grade adenoma on the superficial layer. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a significant increase in the Ki-67 index and p53 staining only in the adenomatous lesions. We conclude that narrow-band imaging magnifying endoscopy would be useful in differentiating adenoma from CCS-related polyps, which thereby facilitates early detection and treatment of precancerous lesions.

Abstract
This study aims to integrate an open-source software capable of estimating hydrodynamic forces solely from kinematic data with a full-body biomechanical model of the human body to enable inverse dynamic analyses of swimmers. To demonstrate the methodology, intersegmental forces and joint torques of the lower limbs were computed for a six-beat front crawl swimming motion, acquired at LABIOMEP-UP. The hydrodynamic forces obtained compare well with existing numerical literature. The intersegmental forces and joint torques obtained increase from distal to proximal joints. Overall, the results are consistent with the limited literature on swimming biomechanics, which provides confidence in the presented methodology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) and regorafenib (REG) are standard therapies for refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). No results of large real-world data directly comparing FTD/TPI + bevacizumab (BEV) with FTD/TPI or REG monotherapy have been reported. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of FTD/TPI + BEV in a real-world setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study used a Japanese claims database provided by Medical Data Vision Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). Eligible patients were aged 20 years and over with a diagnosis of mCRC, and received their first dose of FTD/TPI or REG from 2014 to 2021. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) in a propensity score matching (PSM) population in which PSM was carried out by matching using a 1 : 1 ratio for the FTD/TPI + BEV group and the control group (FTD/TPI or REG) by propensity score. To enhance robustness, sensitivity analyses of OS were carried out using the inverse probability treatment weighted (IPTW) approach and the analysis in the all eligible population. Secondary endpoints included time to treatment discontinuation (TTD), incidence of adverse events, and post-treatment. RESULTS Eligible population was 2369 for the FTD/TPI + BEV group and 9318 for the control group. The PSM population was 1787 for each group. Median OS (mOS) was longer in the FTD/TPI + BEV group compared to the control group [17.0 versus 11.6 months, hazard ratio (HR) = 0.70, P < 0.001] in the PSM population. Similarly, mOS was longer for the FTD/TPI + BEV group compared to that for the control group in IPTW analyses and in the all eligible population (both HRs = 0.68). Median TTD was 3.3 months for the FTD/TPI + BEV group and 1.8 months for the control group in the PSM population (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Real-world data showed that FTD/TPI + BEV was significantly associated with OS and TTD compared to FTD/TPI or REG. In clinical practice, FTD/TPI + BEV can be a favorable regimen for refractory mCRC.

Abstract
Soil moisture is a key factor for mercury (Hg) emission from soil. Despite its significance for Hg emissions, the effect of soil moisture on Hg flux and fractions has not been thoroughly investigated. The objective of this study was to elucidate the influences of soil moisture and temperature on Hg fluxes from soils and Hg fractions. A kinetic study was performed to measure Hg emission fluxes of six soil samples under different temperature (T) (15 °C, 20 °C, 25 °C, 30 °C, and 35 °C) and moisture conditions (0%, 10%, and 20% added water). The results showed that the Hg fluxes increased with increases in T and soil moisture. A linear correlation was found between ln (Hg emission flux) and 1/T for the six soil samples at different moisture contents (R2 = 0.73-0.99). The range of activation energy (Ea) values was 25.31-57.86 kJ/mol. The Hg fractions in soils of different moisture content were determined by a sequential extraction method. The results demonstrated that soil moisture affected the Hg fractions in soils. The Ea values had different relationships with soil moisture in different soils. There were correlations between Ea and the elemental and mercuric sulfide fractions for air-dried soils. However, for moist soils, Ea was negatively correlated with the water-soluble and acid-soluble fractions. Collectively, the combination of the Hg emission kinetics and Hg fraction measurement of different moist soils indicated that Hg emission was affected by both total Hg concentration and Hg fractions.

Abstract
Vancomycin is associated with nephrotoxicity; however, the influence of the number of combined nephrotoxic agents on the incidence of vancomycin nephrotoxicity has not been clarified. We investigated patient backgrounds in 148 inpatients who received vancomycin treatment. The patients were divided into nephrotoxicity (n=35) and non-nephrotoxicity (n=113) groups. A comparison of the patient backgrounds in the two groups revealed significant differences in weight, changes in serum creatinine before vancomycin administration, blood urea nitrogen to serum creatinine ratio, length of vancomycin therapy, vancomycin trough concentration, and number of combined nephrotoxic agents. Multiple logistic regression analysis using these six factors as autonomous variables showed that the highest vancomycin trough concentration (odds ratio, 1.080; 95% confidence interval, 1.030-1.140; p = 0.003) and the number of combined nephrotoxic agents (odds ratio, 1.590; 95% confidence interval, 1.120-2.260; p = 0.010) were significantly related to nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is characterized by the presence of serum anti-mitochondrial autoantibodies (AMAs). To date, four antigens among the 2-oxo-acid dehydrogenase complex family, which commonly have lipoyl domains as an epitope, have been identified as AMA-corresponding antigens (AMA-antigens). It has recently been reported that AMAs react more strongly with certain chemically modified mimics than with the native lipoyl domains in AMA-antigens. Moreover, high concentrations of circulating immune complexes (ICs) in PBC patients have been reported. However, the existence of ICs formed by AMAs and their antigens has not been reported to date. We hypothesized that AMAs and their antigens formed ICs in PBC sera, and analyzed sera of PBC and four autoimmune diseases (Sjögren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic scleroderma, and rheumatoid arthritis) using immune complexome analysis, in which ICs are separated from serum and are identified by nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. To correctly assign MS/MS spectra to peptide sequences, we used a protein-search algorithm that including lipoylation and certain xenobiotic modifications. We found three AMA-antigens, the E2 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC-E2), the E2 subunit of the 2-oxo-glutarate dehydrogenase complex (OGDC-E2) and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase binding protein (E3BP), by detecting peptides containing lipoylation and xenobiotic modifications from PBC sera. Although the lipoylated sites of these peptides were different from the well-known sites, abnormal lipoylation and xenobiotic modification may lead to production of AMAs and the formation ICs. Further investigation of the lipoylated sites, xenobiotic modifications, and IC formation will lead to deepen our understanding of PBC pathogenesis.

Abstract
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly damages the salivary and lacrimal glands. Immune complex (IC) formation triggers local inflammation through IC deposition and decreased antigen function. Some ICs can leak from the lesion and into the saliva, but no salivary ICs have been reported to date. We used immune complexome analysis to comprehensively identify antigens incorporated into IC (IC-antigens) in saliva samples from patients with SS (n = 9) or with xerostomia (n = 7). Neutrophil defensin 1 (67%), small proline-rich protein 2D (67%), myeloperoxidase (44%), neutrophil elastase (44%), cathepsin G (33%), nuclear mitotic apparatus 1 (33%) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 3-kinase C2 domain-containing subunit gamma (33%) were identified as new IC-antigens specifically and frequently detected in the saliva of SS patients. Of these, neutrophil defensin 1, myeloperoxidase, neutrophil elastase and cathepsin G are neutrophil intracellular proteins, which suggests that repeated destruction of neutrophils due to abnormal autoimmunity may be involved in the pathogenesis of SS. We also analyzed serum samples from three SS patients. There was little overlap of IC-antigens between two of the samples (fewer than 30% of the IC-antigens in the saliva samples), suggesting that many ICs are formed locally and independently of the circulation. In addition, we found that four SS-specific salivary antigens show sequence homology with several proteins of oral microbiomes but no antigen has homology with Epstein-Barr virus proteins. The homology between some IC-antigens and oral microbiome proteins may indicate the impact of oral infection on local autoimmunity through molecular mimicry theory.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Tolvaptan exerts potent diuretic effects in heart failure patients without hemodynamic instability. Nonetheless, its clinical efficacy for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) due to severe aortic stenosis (AS) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effects of tolvaptan in ADHF patients with severe AS.
Methods
The LOw-Dose Tolvaptan (7.5 mg) in Decompensated Heart Failure Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis (LOHAS) registry is a multicenter (7 centers) prospective registry that assessed the short-term effects of tolvaptan in subjects hospitalized for ADHF with severe AS. A total of 59 subjects were enrolled between September 2014 and December 2017. The primary endpoints were changes in body weight and fluid balance measured daily from baseline up to 4 days.
Results
The median [interquartile range] patient age and aortic valve area were 85.0 [81.0–89.0] years and 0.58 [0.42–0.74] cm2, respectively. Body weight continuously decreased, and fluid balance was maintained from baseline to day 4 (p<0.001, p=0.194, respectively). Median serum B-type natriuretic peptide concentration significantly decreased from 910.5 to 740.0 pg/mL by day 4 (p=0.002). However, systolic blood pressure and heart rate were non-significantly changed (p=0.250, p=0.656, respectively). Hypernatremia (>150 mEq/L) and worsening renal function occurred in 2 (3.4%) and 4 (6.8%) patients, respectively.
Conclusions
Short-term treatment with low-dose tolvaptan is safe and effective, providing stable hemodynamic parameters in patients with ADHF and severe AS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Right atrial (RA) deformation by two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography has a relatively new technique to evaluate right heart function with pulmonary hypertension and cardiomyopathy. Reproducibility between observers of this technique is important to develop into a robust and reliable tool. Experience may pose significant challenges.
Purpose
The aim of this study is to evaluate reproducibility of RA strain (global and regional) between novice and expert.
Methods
One hundred thirty-three patients (n = 133) underwent 2D-Speckle tracking derived RA strain analysis by 3 independent blinded readers (expert and 2 novices). The novice observers were medical interns with no prior experience in performing strain analysis. Echocardiographic images were acquired from iE33 (Philips Medical System) but were analysed offline using single vendor dependent software (QLAB version 11.0; Philips Medical System). The result of novice observer was calculated by the average of novice observers. RA strain parameters were assessed: global RA strain and segmental (Basal, Mid, Roof). Intraobserver and interobserver analyses were performed using intra class correlation coefficients (ICC) between expert and novice.
Results
Expert and novice observer demonstrated good interobserver reproducibility of global RA strain (ICC 0.88) and segmental parameters (Basal: ICC 0.89, Mid: ICC 0.87, Roof: ICC 0.84). Of all parameters, the basal segment of RA strain showed the greatest interobserver agreement. Intraobserver agreement for novice observer was excellent for global RA strain and segmental parameters (ICC > 0.88).
Conclusions
Global RA strain and segmental parameters were highly reproducible by novice and expert strain observer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Liver stiffness is reported to be associated with right atrial pressure and worse prognosis of heart failure. Fibrosis-4 (FIB4) index (age (years) × aspartate aminotransferase (IU/L)/platelet count (109/L) × square root of alanine aminotransferase (IU/L)) is known as a useful and simple marker for evaluating liver stiffness. However, the association between FIB4 index and prognosis in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) was not elucidated.
Purpose
This study aimed to clarity the association between FIB4 index and right ventricular (RV) function and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) of HFpEF.
Method
From February 2012 to December 2015, 132 subjects diagnosed as HFpEF after hospitalization of acute decompensation were enrolled (79 years, 59 male). Subjects performed thoracic surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention within half a year and died before discharge were excluded. All subjects were measured FIB4 index and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) to assess RV function before discharge. In addition, patients were classified into two groups: high-(≥3.01, n=52) and low-FIB4 index groups (<3.01, n=80). MACE incidence during the follow-up period were compared between these groups.
Results
Patient with high-FIB4 index were older and higher level of blood pressure. There was no difference in prevalence rates of history of liver disease. In multivariate Linear regression analysis, FIB4 index was significantly association with TAPSE independently confounding factors. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with high-FIB4 index experienced more CV events during the 1734 days of follow-up (42.3% vs 26.2%, p=0.028) (figure).
Kaplan-Meier curve freedom from MACE
Conclusions
FIB4 index is associated with RV dysfunction and a high risk of future CV event of HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Conventional diuretic therapy for low-flow (LF) severe aortic stenosis (SAS) often has an inadequate effect or causes hemodynamic instability. Tolvaptan is used for acute heart failure in addition to conventional diuretics in Japan, and it does not cause intravascular dehydration.
Purpose
This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the safety and efficacy of tolvaptan in the acute phase patients with SAS and compared LF-SAS with normal-flow (NF) SAS.
Methods
56 consecutive SAS patients are analyzed. The primary endpoints were adverse clinical events (death, worsening heart failure, worsening renal failure, fatal arrhythmia, cardiogenic or hypovolemic shock, and use of inotropic agents) and the volume of urine and fluid balance within 48 hours of tolvaptan administration (Figure).
Results
Among 56 patients, 16 had LF-SAS (29%), and 40 had NF-SAS (71%). Severe adverse clinical events were not observed 48 hours after tolvaptan administration. In both groups, the urine volume significantly increased after tolvaptan administration in comparison to 24 hours before tolvaptan administration (both, p<0.01). There were no changes in the urine volume during the initial 24 and 48 hours. In the LF-SAS group, tolvaptan resulted in a significant decrease in fluid balance during the initial 24 and 48 hours compared to 24 hours before tolvaptan administration (p<0.05).
Treatment and data collection protocols
Conclusion
Adding tolvaptan to conventional treatment leads to an increase in urine output and a decreased fluid balance without hemodynamic instability in patients with LF-SAS.

Abstract
SummaryWe determined the effects of combining the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor tirofiban (MK-383, Aggrastat) and ticlopidine on inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation, inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation, and prolongation of bleeding time in 5 healthy male volunteers. The study consisted of 2 periods. In period 1, tirofiban was administered intravenously as a bolus injection at a dose of 5.0 µg/kg for 5 min, then as a continuous infusion at a rate of 0.05 µg/kg/min for 5 h 55 min. In period 2, ticlopidine was given orally at a dose of 200 mg once daily for 4 days, after which tirofiban was administered in the same manner as in period 1, starting 2 h after the last dose of ticlopidine. The percent inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by ADP 5 µM at the end of tirofiban infusion in periods 1 and 2 was 73.6 ± 2.6 and 87.1 ± 5.7% (mean ± SD), respectively. The corresponding values for inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by collagen 2 µg/ml were 45.4 ± 36.1 and 82.8 ± 27.0%, respectively. In contrast, the percent inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by ADP and collagen after treatment with ticlopidine alone was 15.8 ± 20.2 and p ± 4.8%, respectively. Compared with tirofiban alone, the combination of tirofiban and ticlopidine significantly enhanced inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by both ADP and collagen (p <0.02 and p <0.012, respectively). The inhibitory effects of ticlopidine alone were not statistically significant. Tirofiban prolonged bleeding time both in period 1 and in period 2. However, tirofiban and ticlopidine combined did not affect bleeding time. Ticlopidine administration did not alter the pharmacokinetics of tirofiban. In conclusion, at the doses of tirofiban and ticlopidine used in this study, the combination of the two drugs enhanced inhibition of platelet aggregation but did not prolong bleeding time, suggesting that appropriate doses of tirofiban can be used concomitantly with ticlopidine with no further safety concerns but with potential additional clinical effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether direct-acting anti-viral therapy can reduce liver fibrosis and steatosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is unclear. AIMS To evaluate changes in liver stiffness and steatosis in patients with HCV who received direct-acting anti-viral therapy and achieved sustained virological response (SVR). METHODS A total of 198 patients infected with HCV genotype 1 or 2 who achieved SVR after direct-acting anti-viral therapy were analysed. Liver stiffness as evaluated by magnetic resonance elastography, steatosis as evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging-determined proton density fat fraction (PDFF), insulin resistance, and laboratory data were assessed before treatment (baseline) and at 24 weeks after the end of treatment (SVR24). RESULTS Alanine aminotransferase and homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance levels decreased significantly from baseline to SVR24. Conversely, platelet count, which is inversely associated with liver fibrosis, increased significantly from baseline to SVR24. In patients with high triglyceride levels (≥150 mg/dL), triglyceride levels significantly decreased from baseline to SVR24 (P = 0.004). The median (interquartile range) liver stiffness values at baseline and SVR24 were 3.10 (2.70-4.18) kPa and 2.80 (2.40-3.77) kPa respectively (P < 0.001). The PDFF values at baseline and SVR 24 were 2.4 (1.7-3.4)% and 1.9 (1.3-2.8)% respectively (P < 0.001). In addition, 68% (19/28) of patients with fatty liver at baseline (PDFF ≥5.2%; n = 28) no longer had fatty liver (PDFF <5.2%) at SVR24. CONCLUSION Viral eradication reduces both liver stiffness and steatosis in patients with chronic HCV who received direct-acting anti-viral therapy (UMIN000017020).

Abstract
Epilepsies are common neurological disorders and genetic factors contribute to their pathogenesis. Copy number variations (CNVs) are increasingly recognized as an important etiology of many human diseases including epilepsy. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) is becoming a standard tool for detecting pathogenic mutations and has recently been applied to detecting CNVs. Here, we analyzed 294 families with epilepsy using WES, and focused on 168 families with no causative single nucleotide variants in known epilepsy-associated genes to further validate CNVs using 2 different CNV detection tools using WES data. We confirmed 18 pathogenic CNVs, and 2 deletions and 2 duplications at chr15q11.2 of clinically unknown significance. Of note, we were able to identify small CNVs less than 10 kb in size, which might be difficult to detect by conventional microarray. We revealed 2 cases with pathogenic CNVs that one of the 2 CNV detection tools failed to find, suggesting that using different CNV tools is recommended to increase diagnostic yield. Considering a relatively high discovery rate of CNVs (18 out of 168 families, 10.7%) and successful detection of CNV with <10 kb in size, CNV detection by WES may be able to surrogate, or at least complement, conventional microarray analysis.

Abstract
BCL11A encodes a zinc finger protein that is highly expressed in hematopoietic tissues and the brain, and that is known to function as a transcriptional repressor of fetal hemoglobin (HbF). Recently, de novo variants in BCL11A have been reported in individuals with intellectual disability syndrome without epilepsy. In this study, we performed whole-exome sequencing of 302 patients with epileptic encephalopathies (EEs), and identified 2 novel BCL11A variants, c.577delC (p.His193Metfs*3) and c.2351A>C (p.Lys784Thr). Both the patients shared major physical features characteristic of BCL11A-related intellectual disability syndrome, suggesting that characteristic physical features and the persistence of HbF should lead clinicians to suspect EEs caused by BCL11A pathogenic variants. Patient 1, with a frameshift variant, presented with Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, which expands the phenotypic spectrum of BCL11A haploinsufficiency. Patient 2, with a p.Lys784Thr variant, presented with West syndrome followed by drug-resistant focal seizures and more severe developmental disability. These 2 newly described patients contribute to delineating the associated, yet uncertain phenotypic characteristics of BCL11A disease-causing variants.

Abstract
The seizure threshold 2 (SZT2) gene encodes a large, highly conserved protein that is associated with epileptogenesis. In mice, Szt2 is abundantly expressed in the central nervous system. Recently, biallelic SZT2 mutations were found in 7 patients (from 5 families) presenting with epileptic encephalopathy with dysmorphic features and/or non-syndromic intellectual disabilities. In this study, we identified by whole-exome sequencing compound heterozygous SZT2 mutations in 3 patients with early-onset epileptic encephalopathies. Six novel SZT2 mutations were found, including 3 truncating, 1 splice site and 2 missense mutations. The splice-site mutation resulted in skipping of exon 20 and was associated with a premature stop codon. All individuals presented with seizures, severe developmental delay and intellectual disabilities with high variability. Brain MRIs revealed a characteristic thick and short corpus callosum or a persistent cavum septum pellucidum in each of the 2 cases. Interestingly, in the third case, born to consanguineous parents, had unexpected compound heterozygous missense mutations. She showed microcephaly despite the other case and previous ones presenting with macrocephaly, suggesting that SZT2 mutations might affect head size.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We have previously demonstrated that dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) isolated from mature teeth by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)-induced mobilization method can enhance angiogenesis/vasculogenesis and improve pulp regeneration when compared with colony-derived DPSCs. However, the efficacy of this method in immature teeth with root-formative stage has never been investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the stemness, biological characteristics, and regeneration potential in mobilized DPSCs compared with colony-derived DPSCs from immature teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mobilized DPSCs isolated from immature teeth were compared to colony-derived DPSCs using methods including flow cytometry, migration assays, mRNA expression of angiogenic/neurotrophic factor, and induced differentiation assays. They were also compared in trophic effects of the secretome. Regeneration potential was further compared in an ectopic tooth transplantation model. RESULTS Mobilized DPSCs had higher migration ability and expressed more angiogenic/neurotrophic factors than DPSCs. The mobilized DPSC secretome produced a higher stimulatory effect on migration, immunomodulation, anti-apoptosis, endothelial differentiation, and neurite extension. In addition, vascularization and pulp regeneration potential were higher in mobilized DPSCs than in DPSCs. CONCLUSIONS G-CSF-induced mobilization method enhances regeneration potential of colony-derived DPSCs from immature teeth.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine is based on stem cells, signals, and scaffolds. Dental pulp tissue has the potential to regenerate dentin in response to noxious stimuli, such as caries. The progenitor/stem cells are responsible for this regeneration. Thus, stem cell therapy has considerable promise in dentin regeneration. Culture of porcine pulp cells, as a three-dimensional pellet, promoted odontoblast differentiation compared with monolayers. The expression of dentin sialophosphoprotein (Dspp) and enamelysin/matrix metalloproteinase 20 (MMP20) mRNA confirmed the differentiation of pulp cells into odontoblasts and was stimulated by the morphogenetic signal, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2). Based on the in vitro experiments, an in vivo evaluation of pulp progenitor/stem cells in the dog was performed. The autogenous transplantation of the BMP2-treated pellet culture onto the amputated pulp stimulated reparative dentin formation. In conclusion, BMP2 can direct pulp progenitor/stem cell differentiation into odontoblasts and result in dentin formation.

Abstract
Joubert syndrome (JS) is rare recessive disorders characterized by the combination of hypoplasia/aplasia of the cerebellar vermis, thickened and elongated superior cerebellar peduncles, and a deep interpeduncular fossa which is defined by neuroimaging and is termed the 'molar tooth sign'. JS is genetically highly heterogeneous, with at least 29 disease genes being involved. To further understand the genetic causes of JS, we performed whole-exome sequencing in 24 newly recruited JS families. Together with six previously reported families, we identified causative mutations in 25 out of 30 (24 + 6) families (83.3%). We identified eight mutated genes in 27 (21 + 6) Japanese families, TMEM67 (7/27, 25.9%) and CEP290 (6/27, 22.2%) were the most commonly mutated. Interestingly, 9 of 12 CEP290 disease alleles were c.6012-12T>A (75.0%), an allele that has not been reported in non-Japanese populations. Therefore c.6012-12T>A is a common allele in the Japanese population. Importantly, one Japanese and one Omani families carried compound biallelic mutations in two distinct genes (TMEM67/RPGRIP1L and TMEM138/BBS1, respectively). BBS1 is the causative gene in Bardet-Biedl syndrome. These concomitant mutations led to severe and/or complex clinical features in the patients, suggesting combined effects of different mutant genes.

Abstract
The segment of the male canine abdominal vena cava (AVC) between the liver and the renal veins receives vasa vasorum from the right phrenicoabdom inal artery, while the infrarenal segment of AVC does from the right testicular artery. These facts were confirmed by both macroscopic observation with dye injection into the arteries and measurement of contractile responses of the segments in vivo by the method with intravascular cuffs. The segmental dis tribution of vasa vasorum from arteries of the right side may closely correlate with the embryogenesis of the vein. An anomalous dog with totally inverted viscera, which we found during our study, exhibited another anomaly of AVC: It had the segment of AVC between the liver and the renal veins at the left side of the aorta and the infrarenal segment at the right. This anomaly shows that AVC is composed with at least two segments which is formed separately during its embryogenesis and may support our hypothesis.

Abstract
Mutations in SPATA5 have recently been shown to result in a phenotype of microcephaly, intellectual disability, seizures, and hearing loss in childhood. Our aim in this report is to delineate the SPATA5 syndrome as a clinical entity, including the facial appearance, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging findings. Using whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing, we identified three children with SPATA5 mutations from two families. Two siblings carried compound heterozygous mutations, c.989_991del (p.Thr330del) and c.2130_2133del (p.Glu711Profs*21), and the third child had c.967T>A (p.Phe323Ile) and c.2146G>C (p.Ala716Pro) mutations. The three patients manifested microcephaly, psychomotor retardation, hypotonus or hypertonus, and bilateral hearing loss from early infancy. Common facies were a depressed nasal bridge/ridge, broad eyebrows, and retrognathia. Epileptic spasms or tonic seizures emerged at 6-12 months of age. Interictal electroencephalography showed multifocal spikes and bursts of asynchronous diffuse spike-wave complexes. Augmented amplitudes of visually evoked potentials were detected in two patients. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed hypomyelination, thin corpus callosum, and progressive cerebral atrophy. Blood copper levels were also elevated or close to the upper normal levels in these children. Clinical delineation of the SPATA5-related encephalopathy should improve diagnosis, facilitating further clinical and molecular investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the serum adiponectin level is inversely correlated to body mass index and closely associated with obesity and related diseases, neither the impact of weight loss on the adiponectin level nor other factors that might influence the adiponectin level during weight loss intervention are well documented. OBJECTIVE The objective of the study is to assess the change in the serum adiponectin level during weight loss intervention and to determine if sleep parameters affect the serum adiponectin level. METHODS Ninety women with overweight or obesity aged 25 to 65 years completed a 7-month cognitive behavioural therapy based weight loss intervention that included dieting, exercise and stress management. Serum adiponectin level, body fat percent, symptoms of depression and anxiety and objective sleep parameters, assessed by actigraphy, were measured at baseline and at the end of the intervention. RESULTS The serum adiponectin level was significantly increased after the weight loss intervention (P < 0.001). In a multiple regression analysis, the change of the adiponectin level was positively associated with the magnitude of body fat loss (β = -0.317, P < 0.001) and an increase of sleep minutes (β = 0.210, P = 0.043). CONCLUSION An increase in objective sleep duration was related to a significantly increased serum adiponectin level independently of the change of body fat during the weight loss intervention.

Abstract
Genetic reversion is the phenomenon of spontaneous gene correction by which gene function is partially or completely rescued. However, it is unknown whether this mechanism always correctly repairs mutations, or is prone to error. We investigated a family of three boys with intellectual disability, and among them we identified two different mutations in KDM5C, located at Xp11.22, using whole-exome sequencing. Two affected boys have c.633delG and the other has c.631delC. We also confirmed de novo germline (c.631delC) and low-prevalence somatic (c.633delG) mutations in their mother. The two mutations are present on the same maternal haplotype, suggesting that a postzygotic somatic mutation or a reversion error occurred at an early embryonic stage in the mother, leading to switched KDM5C mutations in the affected siblings. This event is extremely unlikely to arise spontaneously (with an estimated probability of 0.39-7.5 × 10(-28) ), thus a possible reversion error is proposed here to explain this event. This study provides evidence for reversion error as a novel mechanism for the generation of somatic mutations in human diseases.

Abstract
Introduction The release of trophic factors from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is critical for tissue regeneration. A systematic investigation of the regenerative potential of trophic factors from different MSCs, however, has not been performed. Thus, in the present study, the regenerative potential of conditioned medium (CM) from dental pulp, bone marrow, and adipose tissue-derived CD31− side population (SP) cells from an individual source was compared in an ectopic tooth transplantation model. Methods The tooth root transplantation in an ectopic site model was used for investigation of the regenerative potential and trophic effects in vivo. Either pulp CD31− SP cell populations (1×106 cells) at the third to fourth passage or 5 μg/ml of CM from dental pulp, bone marrow, and adipose stem cells from four different individuals were injected into the root with collagen TE. Each root was transplanted subcutaneously in 5-week-old severe combined immunodeficiency mice. Each root with surrounding tissue was harvested for histology on days 7, 21, and 28 and for Western blot analysis and real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis on day 28. Furthermore, the trophic factors responsible for the regenerative potential were identified as the upregulated genes present in pulp CD31− SP cells when compared with the genes in both bone marrow and adipose CD31− SP cells by using microarray analysis, real-time RT-PCR, and Western blot analysis. Results Transplantation of pulp CM yielded increased volume of pulp regeneration, more bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-positive migrated cells, and fewer caspase 3-positive cells in the regenerated pulp compared with the others. Pulp CM also demonstrated significantly increased cell migration, anti-apoptosis, and angiogenesis in C2C12 cells. Higher expression of CXCL14 and MCP1 in pulp SP cells suggested candidate trophic factors. The stimulatory effects on both migration and angiogenesis of CXCL14 and MCP1 were demonstrated in vitro. In the regenerated tissue, BrdU-positive migrated cells expressed CXCR4 and CCR2, receptors for CXCL14 and MCP1, respectively. Conclusions The higher regenerative potential of pulp SP cells may be due to potent trophic factors, including CXCL14 and MCP1, which promote migration and angiogenesis.

Abstract
Autoinflammatory diseases include a large spectrum of monogenic diseases, e.g. familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), as well as complex genetic trait diseases, e.g. adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD). In populations where FMF is common, an increased MEFV mutation rate is found in patients with rheumatic diseases. The aim of this study was to examine MEFV mutations in Japanese patients with AOSD. Genomic DNA was isolated from 49 AOSD patients and 105 healthy controls, and exons 1, 2, 3 and 10 of the MEFV gene genotyped by direct sequencing. MEFV mutation frequencies in AOSD patients were compared with controls. We found no significant difference in overall allele frequencies of MEFV variants between AOSD patients and controls. However, MEFV exon 10 variants (M694I and G632S) were significantly higher in AOSD patients than controls (6.1 versus 0%). In addition, there was no significant difference between MEFV variant carriers and non-carriers with clinical manifestations, but the monocyclic clinical course of the AOSD disease phenotype was observed less frequently in patients without MEFV variants. AOSD patients had significantly higher frequencies of MEFV exon 10 mutations, suggesting that low-frequency variants of MEFV gene may be one of the susceptibility factors of AOSD.

Abstract
Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome (WSS) is an autosomal dominant congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by hairy elbows, dysmorphic facial appearances (hypertelorism, thick eyebrows, downslanted and vertically narrow palpebral fissures), pre- and post-natal growth deficiency, and psychomotor delay. WSS is caused by heterozygous mutations in KMT2A (also known as MLL), a gene encoding a histone methyltransferase. Here, we identify six novel KMT2A mutations in six WSS patients, with four mutations occurring de novo. Interestingly, some of the patients were initially diagnosed with atypical Kabuki syndrome, which is caused by mutations in KMT2D or KDM6A, genes also involved in histone methylation. KMT2A mutations and clinical features are summarized in our six patients together with eight previously reported patients. Furthermore, clinical comparison of the two syndromes is discussed in detail.

Abstract
Recently published articles have reported the controversial data regarding expression of aldehyde dehydrogenase isozyme 1A1 (ALDH1A1), a potential candidate marker for normal and cancer stem cells (CSCs), in thyroid tissues. These data prompted us to re-evaluate expression of ALDH1A1 in normal and cancerous thyroid tissues by 2 different means. The first method was immunohistochemistry with 2 different anti-ALDH1A1 antibodies from distinct companies. Following validating the integrity of these 2 antibodies by Western blotting with ALDH-expressing and nonexpressing cancer cell lines and immunohistochemistry with breast and colon tissues, we report here significant and comparable expression of ALDH1A1 in both normal and cancerous thyroid tissues with both antibodies. Next, relative expression levels of ALDH isozymes were evaluated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), revealing that ALDH1A1 was the most highly expressed isozyme followed by ALDH9A1 and relative expression patterns of isozymes were very similar in normal and cancerous tissues. All these data demonstrate that thyroid cells of normal and cancer origins do express ALDH1A1 and to a lesser extent 9A1. Further study will be necessary to study functional significance of ALDH1A1 in the function and behaviors of thyroid normal and cancer stem cells.

Abstract
The S100P protein stimulates cell proliferation and survival, thereby contributing to tumor progression. The purpose of this study was to evaluate S100P expression in the three subtypes of mucinous cystic tumors, cystadenomas, borderline tumors, and adenocarcinomas. The authors examined nuclear S100P expression in 60 mucinous ovarian tumor specimens, including 24 specimens of mucinous cystadenoma, 15 of borderline tumors, and 21 of adenocarcinomas. Immunohistochemistry revealed S100P expression followed one of three patterns: (1) Expressed in most nuclei of mucinous epithelial cells, (2) sporadic (spotted or patchy) expression, or (3) absent or rarely expressed in the nuclei of mucinous epithelial cells. Most adenomas showed the first expression pattern, and borderline tumors often showed a patchy expression pattern. Adenocarcinomas generally demonstrated absence of S100P expression. These data suggest that S100P is a useful histological marker to differentiate between benign, borderline, and malignant mucinous tumors of the ovary.
