Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the effectiveness of NUDT15 codon 139 genotyping in optimizing thiopurine treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Japan, using real-world data, and aimed to establish genotype-based treatment strategies. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 4628 IBD patients who underwent NUDT15 codon 139 genotyping was conducted. This study assessed the purpose of the genotyping test and subsequent prescriptions following the obtained results. Outcomes were compared between the Genotyping group (thiopurine with genotyping test) and Non-genotyping group (thiopurine without genotyping test). Risk factors for adverse events (AEs) were analyzed by genotype and prior genotyping status. RESULTS Genotyping test for medical purposes showed no significant difference in thiopurine induction rates between Arg/Arg and Arg/Cys genotypes, but nine Arg/Cys patients opted out of thiopurine treatment. In the Genotyping group, Arg/Arg patients received higher initial doses than the Non-genotyping group, while Arg/Cys patients received lower ones (median 25 mg/day). Fewer AEs occurred in the Genotyping group because of their lower incidence in Arg/Cys cases. Starting with < 25 mg/day of AZA reduced AEs in Arg/Cys patients, while Arg/Arg patients had better retention rates when maintaining ≥ 75 mg AZA. Nausea and liver injury correlated with thiopurine formulation but not dosage. pH-dependent mesalamine reduced leukopenia risk in mesalamine users. CONCLUSIONS NUDT15 codon 139 genotyping effectively reduces thiopurine-induced AEs and improves treatment retention rates in IBD patients after genotype-based dose adjustments. This study provides data-driven treatment strategies based on genotype and identifies risk factors for specific AEs, contributing to a refined thiopurine treatment approach.

Abstract
A 69-year-old woman presented to our department with the chief complaint of diarrhea. She had undergone left nephrectomy for renal cancer 14 years earlier. Three years earlier, metastasis was detected in the left retroperitoneal cavity, and pazopanib administration was initiated. In the 29th month after the start of chemotherapy, the patient developed diarrhea, and on the 31st month, computed tomography showed thickening of the intestinal wall. Colonoscopy revealed white villi, intramucosal hemorrhage in the terminal ileum, and rough inflammatory mucosa with inflammatory polyps extending from the transverse to the sigmoid colon. Suspecting pazopanib-induced enteritis, we discontinued the medication, and the diarrhea resolved within 3 days. On the 21st day after discontinuation, colonoscopy revealed that the inflammatory polyps had shrunk, and the inflammatory findings had improved. Biopsy of the white villi of the ileum revealed histiocytes. The patient resumed treatment with pazopanib at 400 mg/day and developed soft stool on the 7th day after resumption. Compared with other tyrosine-kinase inhibitor-induced enteritis cases, this case showed less bleeding and more extensive inflammatory findings. There are similarities as well as differences from cases of previously reported pazopanib-induced enteritis. The mechanisms and characteristics of this disease require further investigation.

Abstract
Attentional focus strategies eliciting external focus of attention effectively enhance drop jump (DJ) performance, however, their effects vary depending on the words used for the instructions. We aimed to examine the effects of different words on DJ performance using instructions eliciting external focus to minimize contact time (CT) or maximize jump height (JH). Twenty collegiate athletes performed DJs from a 30-cm platform after receiving one of the four instructions: two instructions (COND 1 and 2) about minimizing CT, and two instructions (COND 3 and 4) about maximizing JH. The reactive strength index (RSI), CT, JH, relative peak vertical ground reaction force (vGRF), and leg stiffness (kvert) were compared between conditions using repeated-measures analysis of variance. There was no significant main effect of conditions on the RSI, relative peak vGRF, and kvert (p > 0.05). CT was significantly shorter under CONDs 1 and 2 than COND 3 (p < 0.05); JH was significantly higher under COND 3 than CONDs 1 and 2 (p < 0.05), and under COND 4 than COND 1 (p < 0.05). When using attentional focus strategies in DJ, it is necessary to use different words and purposes according to the players' tasks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tacrolimus (TAC), a calcineurin inhibitor, is used for remission induction therapy in patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC), with short-term efficacy and related predictive factors shown in previous cohort studies. However, most studies reported data for only a limited number of patients enrolled from a single center. We performed a large multicenter retrospective cohort study to identify factors related to prediction of clinical remission in UC patients treated with oral TAC. METHODS The medical records of patients with moderate to severe UC treated with oral TAC as induction therapy at 7 institutions between April 2009 and March 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS A total of 216 patients who received TAC for induction were analyzed, of whom 123 (56.9%) showed clinical remission at week 12. Logistic regression analysis indicated that previous or current use of antitumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α antibodies (odds ratio [OR], 0.259; P = .006), and concomitant treatment with 5-aminosalicylate (5-ASA) at the baseline (OR, 0.268; P = .005) were independent predictive factors correlated with failure of clinical remission, whereas higher levels of C-reactive protein (OR, 1.124; P = .014) predicted achievement of clinical remission. CONCLUSIONS Results of this multicenter study clearly indicate the efficacy of TAC induction therapy for patients with moderate to severe UC. Notably, previous or current use of anti-TNF-α antibodies was associated with poor achievement of clinical remission by week 12.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ABC method, which combines the pepsinogen method and anti-Helicobacter pylori antibody titers, has been used for risk screening for gastric cancer in Japan. However, it has been reported that there are cases of gastritis and carcinogenesis risk even in group A, which is considered to be a low-risk group based on the ABC method. Currently, in group A, endoscopic examination is needed to strictly discriminate "patients without gastritis" (defined as true A patients) from those "with gastritis." A simple and minimally invasive diagnostic criterion for gastritis using serological markers is desirable. In this study, we aimed to identify the normal serum gastrin concentrations in normal stomach cases based on pathological diagnosis and investigate the usefulness of serum gastrin concentrations in diagnosing gastritis. METHODS Patients who underwent endoscopy and blood tests at Hiroshima University Hospital were enrolled in the study and categorized into the "pathologically-evaluated group" and "endoscopically-evaluated group," according to the evaluation method of atrophic gastritis. Initially, we measured serum gastrin concentrations in the normal stomach cases in the pathologically-evaluated group and calculated the normal range of serum gastrin concentrations. We used the upper limit of this normal range of serum gastrin concentrations and performed a validation study to determine its usefulness as a diagnostic marker for distinguishing between cases of gastritis and true A in the endoscopically-evaluated group. RESULTS The 95th percentile of serum gastrin concentrations in pathologically-evaluated normal stomach cases was 34.12-126.03 pg/mL. Using the upper limit of this normal range of serum gastrin concentrations, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value for gastritis were 52.8%, 92.6%, 97.0%, and 31.0%, respectively. Additionally, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the endoscopically-evaluated group showed an area under the ROC curve of 0.80. CONCLUSION The gastrin cut-off value of 126 pg/mL has a good positive predictive value (97.0%) for detecting gastritis positing its use as a marker for cases requiring endoscopy. However, the identification of patients with gastritis having normal serum gastrin concentrations due to insufficient sensitivity remains a challenge for the future.

Abstract
We present a rare case that showed the coexistence of gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in Helicobacter pylori-naive stomach. A 72-year-old man was followed up after surgery for epithelial carcinoma of the glottis at the Department of Otolaryngology. He underwent an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for an abnormal PET-CT accumulation, which revealed gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type in the gastric fundus and MALT lymphoma in the upper gastric body. Hence, we performed an endoscopic submucosal dissection for gastric cancer and diagnosed gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type derived from a hamartomatous-inverted polyp. Subsequently, Gastric MALT lymphoma was treated with radiation therapy because the API2-MALT1 gene was positive and the Helicobacter pylori infection was negative. A complete response was observed. Even in Hp-naive stomachs, cases such as the present case are complicated by special types of gastric cancer and MALT lymphoma, and endoscopic examination should be performed with these diseases in mind.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Definitive chemoradiotherapy (DCRT) is a curative treatment option for cT1bN0M0 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC); however, local residual disease and recurrence after complete remission may occur. We aimed to identify endoscopic findings associated with the risk of non-radical cure (local remnant or recurrence) after DCRT for cT1bN0M0 ESCC. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 40 consecutive patients with cT1bN0M0 ESCC who had undergone DCRT between January 2007 and December 2017. We examined the endoscopic findings in patients with residual or recurrent (RR) disease (RR group) and those without RR disease [non-RR (NRR) group] after DCRT. We also evaluated outcomes after DCRT for each endoscopic finding. RESULTS There were 10 patients in the RR group and 30 patients in the NRR group. The RR group had a significantly larger tumor size and a higher proportion of lesions with type 0-I. The 5-year relapse-free survival rate was significantly lower in type 0-I and in the presence of B3 vessels. Endoscopic findings in 15 patients with cT1bN0M0 ESCC, type 0-I, who underwent DCRT revealed significantly more reddish lesions in the RR group compared to the NRR group. CONCLUSIONS cT1bN0M0 ESCC large size, with B3 vessels, and type 0-I has a high risk of non-radical cure after DCRT, especially the reddish type 0-I, which may need to be considered for treatment similar to advanced cancer, including surgery with preoperative DCRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plyometric training, such as single-leg jumps, may be one of the most effective ways to improve a child's jumping and sprinting ability. However, few studies on age-related changes in single-legged jumping ability seem to exist. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine age-related changes in double- and single-leg jump performance. METHODS A total of 143 untrained boys aged 7-15 years performed double-leg counter-movement jump (CMJ) and rebound jump (RJ) and single-leg CMJ (SCMJ) and RJ (SRJ). Jump height (JH), peak vertical ground reaction force (PvGRF), and relative vertical ground reaction force (RvGRF) during CMJ and SCMJ, and RJ-Index, JH, ground contact time (CT), PvGRF, and RvGRF during RJ and SRJ were recorded, and one-way analysis of variance was used to examine differences between age group. RESULTS JH, PvGRF, and RvGRF of CMJ and SCMJ increased with age with a similar trend (P<0.001). RJ-Index, JH, and PvGRF of RJ and SRJ also increased with age (P<0.001). CT of RJ did not change with age, but SRJ became longer with age (P<0.001). The RvGRF of RJ increased with age (P<0.001), but the RvGRF of SRJ did not change. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that age-related changes in CMJ among boys aged 7-15 years have similar trends for double- and single-leg jumps. However, age-related changes of RJ differed between double- and single-leg jumps, suggesting that differences in adaptation of relative force exertion may occur.

Abstract
A novel large neutral amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1)-specific inhibitor, JPH203, is expected to cause cancer-specific starvation and possess anti-tumor effects; however, its anti-tumor mechanism for colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. We analyzed LAT family gene expressions in public databases using UCSC Xena and evaluated LAT1 protein expression using immunohistochemistry in 154 cases of surgically resected CRC. We also evaluated mRNA expression using polymerase chain reaction in 10 CRC cell lines. Furthermore, JPH203 treatment experiments were conducted in vitro and in vivo using an allogeneic immune-responsive mouse model with abundant stroma created via the orthotopic transplantation of the mouse-derived CRC cell line CT26 and mesenchymal stem cells. The treatment experiments were followed by comprehensive gene expression analyses with RNA sequencing. Database analyses and immunohistochemistry research on clinical specimens revealed that LAT1 expression was cancer-dominant, and its increase was accompanied by tumor progression. In vitro, JPH203 was effective in an LAT1 expression-dependent manner. In vivo, JPH203 treatment considerably reduced tumor size and metastasis, and RNA sequencing-based pathway analysis showed that not only tumor growth and amino acid metabolism pathways, but also stromal activation-related pathways were suppressed. The results of the RNA sequencing were validated in the clinical specimens, as well as both in vitro and in vivo. LAT1 expression in CRC plays an important role in tumor progression. JPH203 may inhibit the progression of CRC and tumor stromal activity.

Abstract
The risk of malignant tumor progression has been a concern associated with the use of anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha monoclonal antibody (anti-TNFα mAb). On the contrary, recent observational studies have reported negatively on this risk and instead suggested that anti-TNFα mAb acts as a tumor suppressor in inflammatory carcinogenesis models and subcutaneous transplant models of colorectal cancer. However, no consensus has been established regarding the actual effects of anti-TNFα mAb on malignant tumors. Here, we aimed to evaluate, for the first time, the effect of anti-TNFα mAb on the tumor microenvironment in the absence of intestinal inflammation in a colorectal cancer orthotopic transplant mouse model suitable for tumor microenvironment assessment. The orthotopic transplantation model was developed by transplanting CT26 cells into the cecum of BALB/c mice. Changes in tumor size and weight were recorded 3 weeks after transplantation, and the tumor microenvironment was assessed via RNA sequencing and immunohistological staining. In the orthotopic transplant model, the administration of anti-TNFα mAb led to a reduction in colorectal cancer. The RNA sequencing analysis showed upregulation of immune-related pathways and apoptosis and suppression of stromal- and tumor growth-related pathways. Additionally, Gene Ontology analysis showed inhibition of angiogenesis. Immunohistochemical staining showed inhibition of tumor growth, increase in apoptosis, suppression of stromal response, suppression of angiogenesis, enhancement of tumor immunity, and reduction in the number of tumor-associated macrophages. Anti-TNFα mAb acts as an inhibitor of tumor progression in the tumor microenvironment of a colorectal cancer orthotopic transplant mouse model.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the in vivo metastasis suppression effects of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor inhibitor dasatinib, which targets cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), in combination with an anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody. We classified clinical CRC cases as inflamed, excluded, or desert using immunohistochemical analysis and evaluated the tumor stroma. The excluded type was the most common, and cases with high-volume stroma in the primary lesions also had a high stromal volume in the liver metastatic lesions. Liver-metastasis mouse models with different stromal volumes were established and treatment-induced changes in the tumor immune microenvironment were evaluated. The anti-PD-1 antibody alone exhibited a therapeutic effect for the liver metastases with low stromal volumes but not for the liver metastases with high stromal volumes. In contrast, antitumor effects were observed with anti-PD-1 antibody/dasatinib combination therapy even in the liver metastases with high stromal volumes. Combination therapy reduced the stromal volume, promoted immune cell infiltration, induced antitumor cytotoxic T-cell responses, activated antitumor immunity, and promoted tumor regression. These results suggest that CAFs play an important role in the immune evasion of CRC and that anti-PD-1 antibody/dasatinib combination therapy has potential as a treatment option for patients with metastatic CRC for whom immunotherapy alone is ineffective.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Furuhashi, Y, Hioki, Y, Yoshimoto, S, and Hayashi, R. The effect of neutral, internal, and external focus on drop jump performance: is drop jump performance affected by plyometric training experience? J Strength Cond XX(X): 000-000, 2021-Providing an external focus of attention through verbal instructions can improve the drop jump (DJ) performance, which differs based on the skill level of athletes. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of change of focus of attention on the performance of DJs in experienced and inexperienced athletes. Thirty-eight male collegiate athletes divided into the experienced group (E group: age, 21.5 ± 1.4 years; height, 173.4 ± 5.7 cm; and body mass, 65.7 ± 6.2 kg) and the inexperienced group (I group: age, 21.9 ± 1.5 years; height, 172.8 ± 5.1 cm; and body mass, 68.7 ± 5.5 kg) performed 2 trials of DJs after listening to instructions designed to evoke a neutral, internal, or external focus of attention. Contact time (CT), jump height (JH), reactive strength index (RSI), and leg-spring stiffness (k vert ) were recorded during DJ and compared between the 2 groups using a repeated-measures analysis of variance. In the E group, the neutral condition was associated with a significantly higher RSI, JH, and k vert than the internal and external conditions ( p < 0.05). In the I group, the external condition was associated with significantly higher RSI and k vert and shorter CT than other conditions ( p < 0.05). Therefore, this suggests that attentional focus strategies need to be selected depending on DJ experience: A neutral focus may be preferable for athletes experienced in DJs, whereas an external focus may be more suitable for athletes with lesser DJ experience.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Hayashi, R, Yoshida, T, and Kariyama, Y. Comparison of joint-level kinetics during single- and double-leg weightlifting derivatives. J Strength Cond Res XX(X): 000-000, 2022-Humans have different 3-dimensional biomechanical characteristics of the lower extremities during locomotion with one and both legs. These biomechanical characteristics may also be observed in the weightlifting derivatives. This study aimed to compare the 3-dimensional joint kinetics of the lower extremities during the single-leg hang power clean (SHPC) and double-leg hang power clean (DHPC). Ten male track and field athletes performed the SHPC and DHPC using external loads of 30, 60, and 90% of one repetition maximum (1RM). The 1RMs in SHPC and DHPC were measured separately, and the external loads at 30, 60, and 90% of the 1RM used were determined based on the different 1RMs in SHPC and DHPC. We calculated the joint moment and joint power of the SHPC and DHPC using a motion capture system and force platforms. The hip abduction moment and power of the SHPC were significantly greater than those of the DHPC under all external loads (p < 0.05). In addition, ankle joint moment at all external loads and joint power at 90% of 1RM was greater for SHPC than for DHPC (p < 0.05). Furthermore, although hip (extension-flexion) and ankle joint kinetics in SHPC and DHPC showed similar load dependence, hip abduction axis kinetics was not load dependent. These results suggest that the hip (abduction-adduction) and ankle joint kinetics in SHPC are greater than in DHPC, but hip (abduction-abduction) kinetics in SHPC is not load independent.

Abstract
Objectives Capsule endoscopy (CE) has been shown to have poor diagnostic performance when the capsule passes quickly through the small bowel, especially the proximal jejunum. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic yield of proximal jejunal lesions with third-generation CE technology. Methods We retrospectively examined 138 consecutive patients, 76 (55.0%) of whom were men. The patients' median age was 70 years, and proximal jejunal lesions were detected by CE and/or double-balloon endoscopy at Hiroshima University Hospital between January 2011 and June 2021. We analyzed the diagnostic accuracy of CE for proximal jejunal lesions and compared the characteristics of the discrepancy between the use of CE and double-balloon endoscopy with Pillcam SB 2 (SB2) and Pillcam SB 3 (SB3). Results SB2 and SB3 were used in 48 (35%) and 90 (65%) patients, respectively. There was no difference in baseline characteristics between these groups. Small-bowel lesions in the proximal jejunum comprised 75 tumors (54%), 50 vascular lesions (36%), and 13 inflammatory lesions (9%). The diagnostic rate was significantly higher in the SB3 group than in the SB2 group for tumors (91% vs. 72%, p < 0.05) and vascular lesions (97% vs. 69%, p < 0.01). For vascular lesions, in particular, the diagnostic rate of angioectasia improved in the SB3 group (100%) compared with that in the SB2 group (69%). Conclusions SB3 use improved the detection of proximal jejunal tumors and vascular lesions compared with SB2 use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We have previously reported that eradication therapy was more effective against Helicobacter pylori (Hp)-negative gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma in non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter (NHPH)-positive cases than in NHPH-negative cases and that the infection status of NHPH could be a predictive marker for the efficacy of eradication therapy for H. pylori negative gastric MALT lymphoma. However, a diagnostic test for NHPH infection has not yet been clinically established. In this study, we investigated the endoscopic findings in cases of H. suis-infected gastritis associated with gastric MALT lymphoma reported at our institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants were selected from cases of gastric MALT lymphoma who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy at Hiroshima University Hospital, who were negative for the API2-MALT1 gene, and who received eradication therapy as a first-line treatment. We examined the endoscopic findings in nine cases from this group in which H. suis infection was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Endoscopic findings, such as cracked mucosa, spotty redness, nodular gastritis-like appearance, and white marbled appearance, which have been reported as characteristics of NHPH gastritis, were observed in multiple cases. The most common endoscopic findings in this study were cracked mucosa (7/9 cases), followed by spotty redness (6/9 cases), nodular gastritis-like appearance (5/9 cases), and white marbled appearance (2/9 cases). CONCLUSIONS Our study may serve as a reference for re-evaluation of the diagnostic criteria for H. suis infection and indications for eradication therapy, particularly for cases of H. pylori negative gastric MALT lymphoma, where endoscopic findings such as those seen in this study were observed in the background mucosa.

Abstract
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is defined as an autoimmune disease presenting with fibrosis of various organs and vascular endothelial damage. Vascular lesions, including small-bowel angioectasias, are also frequently detected in SSc patients. Polidocanol injection (PDI) is a safe and effective hemostatic treatment for gastrointestinal bleeding. We evaluated the outcomes of PDI for small-bowel angioectasia in SSc patients. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 65 consecutive SSc patients (61 women; mean age, 64.3 years old) who underwent capsule endoscopy (CE) and/or double-balloon endoscopy at Hiroshima University Hospital between April 2012 and December 2019. Patients Patients were stratified according to the presence of small-bowel angioectasia. Among patients who underwent CE during the same period, those with small-bowel angioectasia without concomitant diseases were compared with SSc patients with small-bowel angioectasia. Clinical and endoscopic characteristics, treatment outcomes, and the incidence of metachronous small-bowel angioectasia after PDI were evaluated. Results SSc patients with small-bowel angioectasia exhibited significantly lower hemoglobin levels and a significantly higher incidence of skin telangiectasia than those without small-bowel angioectasia. On a multivariate analysis of the presence of small-bowel angioectasia, anemia and skin telangiectasia were significant independent factors. SSc patients with small-bowel angioectasia included a higher proportion of women and exhibited a significantly higher incidence of metachronous small-bowel angioectasia than X. The characteristics of small-bowel angioectasia and outcomes of PDI were not significantly different between the two groups. No post-treatment rebleeding cases or adverse events were noted. Conclusion CE should be performed for SSc patients with anemia and/or skin telangiectasia. PDI is effective for SSc patients with small-bowel angioectasia.

Abstract
This study investigates how people in Japan perceived the severity of and probability of infection from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and how their willingness to purchase a hypothetical vaccine depends on these perceptions and their risk attitudes. We conducted a large-scale panel survey three times between 13 March to 13 April 2020 in Japan. By analyzing the data, we found that the perception of COVID-19 became more serious. The estimation of the fixed effect model reveals that a person becomes more willing to pay for a vaccine as the person evaluates COVID-19 as a more severe disease, considers a higher probability of infection, and becomes more risk averse. Since the sensitivity of willingness to pay for the vaccine on risk aversion increased during the period, the change in risk attitude contributed to an increase in willingness through the sensitivity channel, while it decreased through the magnitude channel.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eradication therapy is known to be effective against Helicobacter pylori-positive gastric MALT lymphoma but predicting the efficacy of eradication therapy against Helicobacter pylori-negative gastric MALT lymphoma is difficult. Recent reports have shown that non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacter infections induce gastric MALT lymphoma, and we aimed to clarify whether non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacter infections are associated with the efficacy of eradication therapy. METHODS We analyzed eradication therapy as a first-line treatment for 182 cases of gastric MALT lymphoma, classified according to Helicobacter pylori infection and API2-MALT1 mutation status. We also evaluated the non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacter infection status in 29 Helicobacter pylori-negative cases via PCR with DNA extracted from paraffin-embedded biopsy tissues. Finally, we analyzed the relationship between non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacter infection status and eradication therapy outcome. RESULTS The API2-MALT1 mutation was observed in 13/182 patients (7.1%), none of whom were cured by eradication therapy. Helicobacter pylori-negative cases had a significantly higher non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacter infection rate than Helicobacter pylori-positive cases (16/29, 55% vs. 3/29, 10%; P < 0.05). Among the Helicobacter pylori-negative cases, non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacter-positive cases had a significantly higher complete response rate than non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacter-negative cases (12/16, 75% vs. 3/13, 23%; P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Helicobacter pylori-negative and API2-MALT1-negative gastric MALT lymphoma cases exhibited a high rate of non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacter infections, which may have contributed to the success of eradication therapy. Therefore, we recommend eradication therapy as a first-line treatment for non-Helicobacter pylori helicobacter-positive gastric MALT lymphoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC), accurate evaluation of UC activity is important to achieve mucosal healing. We sought to investigate the clinical utility of linked color imaging (LCI) for the evaluation of endoscopic activity and prediction of relapse in UC patients. METHODS We enrolled 72 consecutive UC patients in remission who underwent colonoscopy at our institution between September 2016 and October 2018. The relationship between the presence of redness in white light imaging (WLI) and LCI and histopathological inflammation (Geboes score: GS) at 238 biopsy sites was examined. We also assessed the presence or absence of planar redness in the entire rectum as ± and classified the patients into three groups according to the combination of WLI/LCI: A: WLI-/LCI-, B: WLI-/LCI+, and C: WLI+/LCI+. The relationship between WLI/LCI classification and relapse in 64 patients followed up for more than 12 months from initial colonoscopy was assessed and compared to the Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES). RESULTS A GS of 0 or 1 accounted for 89% of WLI/LCI non-redness sites, while a GS of 2 or 3 accounted for 42% of WLI non-redness/LCI redness sites. LCI findings were significantly correlated with GS. During follow-up, 10 patients in group C and four patients in group B relapsed, but none in group A. Non-relapse rates were significantly correlated with WLI/LCI classification, but not with MES. CONCLUSION LCI is a useful modality for accurate assessment of endoscopic activity and prediction of relapse in UC by detecting mild inflammation unrecognizable by WLI.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Colorectal neoplasias (CRN)s developing from the ulcerative colitis (UC) mucosa include both colitic and sporadic neoplasias. Although several genomic analyses of advanced colitis-associated cancer are available, such studies do not distinguish between colitic and sporadic cases, and the early-stage genomic alterations involved in the onset of colitic cancer remain unclear. To address this, we performed a genomic analysis of early-stage CRN developing from the UC mucosa (CRNUC). METHODS We extracted DNA from 36 early-stage CRNUCs (T1 cancer, 10; dysplasia, 26) from 32 UC patients and performed targeted sequencing of 43 genes commonly associated with colitis-associated cancer and compared the results with sequencing data from the Japanese invasive colitis-associated cancer. RESULTS The most frequently mutated gene in the CRNUC cohort was APC (mutated in 47.2% of the cases), followed by TP53 (44.4%), KRAS (27.8%), and PRKDC (27.8%). None of the TP53 mutations occurred at any of the hotspot codons. Although the TP53 mutations in The Cancer Genome Atlas of Colorectal Cancer were dispersed throughout the gene, those detected here in CRNUC cases were concentrated in the amino terminal part of the DNA-binding domain. Interestingly, the mutations in KRAS and TP53 were mutually exclusive in CRNUC, and CRNUCs with KRAS mutations had histologically serrated lesions in the gland duct. Mayo endoscopic subscore was higher in TP53-mutated CRNUCs and lower in KRAS-mutated CRNUCs. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that early-stage CRNUC can be classified into 2 groups: those developing through the carcinogenic pathway via TP53 mutations and those developing through the carcinogenic pathway via KRAS mutations.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to quantify the kinetics per leg during the one- and two-leg hang power clean using various loads. Nine male track and field athletes performed the one- and two-leg hang power clean on a force platform. The estimated one-repetition maximum was used for the one-leg hang power clean (OHPC), and the one-repetition maximum was used for the two-leg hang power clean (THPC). The loads used were 30%, 60%, and 90% during both trials. We calculated peak power, peak force, and peak rate of force development during the pull phase from the force-time data. The peak power and the peak force for all loads during the OHPC were statistically greater than during the THPC. The peak rates of force development at 60% and 90% during the OHPC were statistically greater than during the THPC. Additionally, the peak power at 90% was significantly less than at 60% during the THPC. These findings suggest that the OHPC at loads of 60% and 90% is a weightlifting exercise that exhibits greater explosive force and power development characteristics than the THPC.

Abstract
Using a large sample of individual-level records in Japan speedboat racing where men and women racers participate, we investigated how racers' performance meets fans' pre-race expectations. To control for endogeneity bias, we measured the order of racers' attractiveness randomly determined in each race and then used this order as instrument for measuring racers' popularity. The fixed-effects IV estimations revealed the following. (1) Racers who are more attractive than their competitors tend to be more popular even after controlling for the condition of the race, racer ability, and other characteristics. (2) More popular men show better performance in the race even if the reward does not vary according to popularity; such tendency is not observed for women. This study contributes a novel setting for determining the expectation-enhancing effects of physical attractiveness.

Abstract
Background/Aims Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Some patients with this condition have been reported to present with immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), a renal complication that can cause end-stage renal failure, but the frequency of this comorbidity has not been described. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of IgAN in patients with IBD. Methods This study included 620 patients with IBD (338 with ulcerative colitis [UC] and 282 with Crohn’s disease [CD]) from the Hiroshima University Hospital outpatient department. IgAN cases were identified from medical interviews, blood examinations (serum immunoglobulin A), and urinalyses (occult blood, proteinuria). Definitive IgAN cases were diagnosed by renal biopsies, while those detected through the clinical course and test results, but not clinically recommended for renal biopsy, were defined as suspected IgAN. Results We analyzed 427 cases meeting the inclusion criteria (220 with UC and 207 with CD). The incidence of IgAN across all patients with IBD was 3.0%. The frequency of IgAN was significantly higher in patients with CD (11/207, 5.3%) than in those with UC (2/220, 0.9%) (P< 0.01). Moreover, a significant correlation was found between CD patients with ileostomy or colostomy and a diagnosis of IgAN. Conclusions Patients with IBD present a high incidence of IgAN, especially those with CD who have undergone ileostomy or colostomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies have revealed that mucosal healing improves the long-term prognosis of ulcerative colitis. Frequent colonoscopy is difficult because of its invasiveness and cost. Therefore, in diagnosing and treating ulcerative colitis, noninvasive, low-cost methods for predicting mucosal healing using useful biomarkers are required in the clinical setting. This study aimed to evaluate whether serum amyloid A is a better serum biomarker than C-reactive protein in predicting mucosal healing in ulcerative colitis patients in clinical remission. METHODS Ulcerative colitis patients whose C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A were measured within 1 month before and after colonoscopy were included in this retrospective study, and the relationship between the C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A values and the mucosal condition was analyzed. Mucosal condition was assessed using the Mayo Endoscopic Score, with score 0 or 1 indicating mucosal healing. RESULTS A total of 199 colonoscopic examinations were conducted in 108 ulcerative colitis patients who underwent C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A blood tests. In clinical remission patients, serum amyloid A showed a strong correlation with mucosal inflammation compared to C-reactive protein and had excellent sensitivity and specificity rates with significant statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS Serum amyloid A is a more useful marker compared to C-reactive protein in predicting mucosal inflammation in ulcerative colitis patients in clinical remission.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although indigo naturalis (IN) is effective for patients with active ulcerative colitis (UC), IN was associated with adverse events (AEs), including pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Our aim was to evaluate the occurrence of IN-associated AEs and to evaluate any IN dose-effect on AEs. METHODS A nationwide survey, using questionnaires, was conducted by conducted by the research group funded by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan, between June 2017 and September 2018. A first questionnaire determined the occurrence of AEs associated with the therapeutic use of IN or herbal medicines containing IN in patients with UC. A second survey identified the clinical characteristics of patients who developed IN-associated critical AEs, namely, liver dysfunction, PAH, and intussusception. RESULTS Across 337 participating institutions, 49,320 patients with UC were identified, with IN used in 877 (1.8%). AEs were reported in 91 patients (107 events), including liver dysfunction (n = 40), gastrointestinal symptoms (n = 21), headache (n = 13), and PAH (n = 11). No dose-effect relationship between IN and AEs was identified. Liver dysfunction tended to be mild and reversible. Ten cases of intussusception were reported, with 40% of these patients requiring surgical resection. IN-induced PAH was recovered in patients who discontinued to use IN. No IN-associated deaths were reported. CONCLUSIONS IN-associated AEs were identified among patients with UC, with liver dysfunction often being reversible, while surgical resection was required in a high proportion of patients who developed intussusception. Both healthcare workers and patients should adequately recognize the potential for AEs with the use of IN.

Abstract
Objective Rectal lymphoid follicular aphthous (LFA) lesions are related to ulcerative colitis (UC) and can be initial lesions of UC. We investigated the clinical course and prognosis of rectal LFA lesions. Methods This is a retrospective analysis of the clinical records at a single center. Patients Thirteen consecutive cases with LFA lesions treated at Hiroshima University Hospital between 1998 and 2015 were evaluated. Another 49 consecutive cases with ulcerative proctitis treated in the same period were enrolled as the control group. The clinical course and prognosis of both groups were evaluated. Results The group with LFA lesions included 9 women and 4 men with a median age of 39.9 years (range, 21-70 years). A total of 11 cases progressed to typical UC at 5-51 months. Proximal extension of these typical UC lesions was observed in 7 (53.8%) cases, which was significantly higher than in the control group (10 cases, 20.8%). Three cases (5-year accumulation incidence rate, 27.3%) progressed to steroid-intractable UC, a significantly higher incidence than that of the control group (3 cases; 5-year accumulation incidence rate, 6.9%). Conclusion Rectal LFA lesions frequently progress to typical UC with proximal extension, some of which become intractable to corticosteroid treatment.
