Abstract
After allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), accurate differentiation between donor-derived post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) and relapse of recipient-derived lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) is crucial for determining treatment. Conventional diagnostic approaches for PTLD include histopathological examination, flow cytometry, and chimerism analysis of bulk tumor tissue. However, these methods are inconclusive in cases in which the primary disease is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive LPD and is of the same lineage as that of the post-HSCT LPD tumor cells. Particularly, in cases where the number of tumor cells in the tissue is low, it is difficult to determine the origin of tumor cells. In this study, we developed a new method to simultaneously detect signals using sex chromosome fluorescence in situ hybridization, immunofluorescence staining, and EBV-encoded small RNA in situ hybridization on a single section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded histopathological specimen. The utility of the method was validated using specimens from 6 cases of EBV-positive LPD after sex-mismatched HSCT that were previously difficult to diagnose, including Hodgkin lymphoma-like PTLD that developed after HSCT for Hodgkin lymphoma and recurrence of chronic active EBV infection. This method successfully preserved the histologic structure after staining and allowed accurate determination of tumor cell origin and lineage at the single-cell level, providing a definitive diagnosis in all cases. This method provides a powerful tool for the diagnosis of LPDs after sex-mismatched HSCT.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT) reduces the risk of infection in hypogammaglobulinaemia secondary to chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and multiple myeloma. However, the benefit of IgRT, especially subcutaneous IgRT (ScIgRT), has not been assessed in hypogammaglobulinaemia after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). We performed a pre-post comparison of the clinical impact of ScIgRT after allo-HCT in a retrospective analysis of 209 patients who underwent allogeneic HCT at our institution from 2011 to 2019. Since ScIgRT became available at our institution in April 2017, we categorized patients treated from January 2011 to March 2017 as the Pre-ScIgRT group (n = 118) and those treated from April 2017 to December 2019 as the Post-ScIgRT group (n = 91). The 2-year overall survival rate was 65% in the Pre-ScIgRT group and 81% in the Post-ScIgRT group (p = 0.02). The cumulative incidence (CI) of non-relapse mortality at 2 years was 18% and 7% (p = 0.02). There were 78 infectious events in 44 patients in the Pre-ScIgRT group and 28 such events in 19 patients in the Post-ScIgRT group. The CI of the documented infection during the observation period was between 38% and 21% (p = 0.01). Our study suggests that ScIgRT may reduce infection rates and improve prognosis after allo-HCT.

Abstract
Patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (RR-AML) with mutations of FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) have a poor prognosis even after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). Multiple FLT3 inhibitors, including gilteritinib, have been developed and serve as treatment options for RR-AML. Here, we describe three cases of FLT3 mutated RR-AML that were successfully treated with gilteritinib administration before and after allo-HCT. Gilteritinib treatment before HCT was helpful in achieving remission. However, HCT often resulted in mild liver damage, and careful introduction of gilteritinib after HCT at a lower dose may be helpful for its safe usage. The three cases discussed had a successful clinical outcome in terms of disease control as well as the management of side effects associated with gilteritinib treatment.

Abstract
Patients who have undergone hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) are at a higher risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) infection than the general population. Therefore, early vaccination is recommended for post-transplant patients. Although exacerbation of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) after the initial vaccination has been reported, it is unknown whether severe cGVHD occurs when different RNA vaccines are combined. We treated a patient who developed severe oral mucosal cGVHD after receiving two different RNA vaccines. Visual inspection showed that the patient presented with typical mucocutaneous cGVHD, and cGVHD in this case responded well to low-dose steroids compared to common oral GVHD exacerbations. Histopathological findings revealed T cell, B cell, and conspicuous neutrophil infiltration. Multiple doses of SARS-Cov2 vaccination are required in post-transplant recipients. In conclusion, it is essential to obtain the vaccination history of allo-HSCT recipients with cGVHD exacerbation. Furthermore, reviewing the pathological findings may help treat patients with lower doses of steroids.

Abstract
Watchful waiting (WW) is one of the standard approaches for newly diagnosed follicular lymphoma (FL) patients with low‐tumor burden. However, the impact of WW in FL patients at the first progression, remains unclear. We reviewed 206 FL patients who experienced the first progression after responding to the initial treatment at our institution between 1998 and 2017. Patients were classified into either the WW cohort (132 patients) or the immediate treatment cohort (74 patients). Overall, the median follow‐up from the first progression was 79.8 months (range, 2.1–227.0 months). In the WW cohort, the estimated median time to next treatment (TNT) was 19.7 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.4–30.2), and 76.5% (95% CI, 68.0–84.1) of the patients subsequently underwent the second‐line treatment at 5 years. There was a significant difference in the median time to treatment failure in the WW cohort (72.8 months; 95% CI, 64.6–94.0) compared to the immediate treatment cohort (23.3 months; 95% CI, 13.4–38.8) (HR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.48–3.06), whereas overall survival and the cumulative incidence of histological transformation were not significantly different between two cohorts. In a multivariate analysis, rituximab refractory status, progression of disease within 24 months from the induction of first‐line therapy, and a high Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index score at diagnosis were significantly associated with shorter TNT. Interestingly, 15 patients (11%) of the WW cohort experienced spontaneous tumor regression during WW, and their TNT (median, 82.1 months, 95% CI, 11.7‐NA) was longer than that of the remaining patients in the WW cohort (median, 16.5 months, 95% CI, 13.0–25.4), with a significant difference (p = 0.01). The results of the present study suggested that WW could be a safe and reasonable option even at the first progression for the selected FL patients, without a negative impact on clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background Approximately 15% of patients with diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) experience refractory or early relapsed disease after initial rituximab‐containing chemoimmunotherapy is regarded as a primary refractory disease. Although the standard treatment for relapsed DLBCL is high‐dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HDC‐ASCT), the efficacy of this approach for primary refractory DLBCL is not well understood. We aimed to investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of patients with primary refractory DLBCL. Methods Sixty‐nine consecutive patients with primary refractory DLBCL who were treated at our institution were categorized as partial responders (partial response to rituximab plus cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone [R‐CHOP] or relapse within 6 months of R‐CHOP) (n = 41) or primary progressors (no response to R‐CHOP) (n = 28). Survival curves were constructed using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared using the log‐rank test. Results At initial diagnosis, 70% of patients had Ann Arbor stage III/IV disease, 56% had non‐germinal center B‐cell‐like type DLBCL, and 42% had double‐expressor lymphoma (MYC and BCL2 expression). The 3‐year overall survival rate was significantly poorer in the primary progressors group than in the partial responders’ group (15% vs. 48%, p < 0.001). Four of 17 patients treated with HDC‐ASCT were primary progressors; only one patient survived without relapse. Although double‐expressor lymphoma status did not significantly impact overall survival among all patients (p = 0.794), it was identified as an independent poor prognostic factor in HDC‐ASCT‐treated patients (p = 0.002). Conclusions We identified a subgroup of patients with primary refractory DLBCL who may not benefit from current treatment strategies. Further treatment development is needed to improve the outcomes of these patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study, we aimed to determine the clinicopathological factors influencing the treatment-free period in patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) using a watch-and-wait (WW) strategy. METHODS We retrospectively assessed histopathological parameters of 82 patients with FL. RESULTS The median time from diagnosis to WW discontinuation was 62 months (range, 3-138), and median follow-up was 86 months (range, 3-183). Intermediate or high-risk Follicular Lymphoma International Prognostic Index score (P = .012), non-duodenal-type (P = .011), higher numbers of interfollicular CD4+ (P = .038) and intrafollicular FOXP3+ cells (P = .024) in the tumor microenvironment, and Ki-67 index ≥10% (P = .031) were significant adverse factors for WW discontinuation in univariate analyses. CONCLUSION Patients with adverse factors for WW discontinuation should be carefully observed during follow-up.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of local radiotherapy (LRT) in patients with histologic transformation (HT) following rituximab‐containing chemotherapy. Methods We retrospectively analysed 92 patients with biopsy‐confirmed HT undergoing rituximab‐containing chemotherapy at our institution between 2003 and 2015. Results Of the 36 patients with limited‐stage disease at diagnosis of HT, 29 (78%) received LRT. The estimated 5‐year progression‐free survival (PFS) rate was significantly better in patients who underwent LRT than in those who did not (93% and 42%, respectively; P < 0.05). Multivariate analyses employing age, sex, performance status, LRT and treatment response demonstrated that LRT was an independent prognostic factor for PFS (hazard ratio [HR]: 11.8; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.28‐108.1; P < 0.05). Of the 32 patients who underwent LRT for HT lesion treatment, 31 (97%) did not show disease progression within radiation fields; among them, 27 patients (84%) survived without disease progression during the follow‐up period. One patient developed hypothyroidism due to LRT; the others had no acute or late‐onset complications of LRT. Conclusions Our data support the recommendation of LRT for HT lesion treatment following rituximab‐containing chemotherapy in select patients with localised HT, as a rational treatment approach with potentially limited toxicity.

Abstract
Although histologic analysis is the gold standard for diagnosing follicular lymphoma (FL) transformation, many patients are diagnosed with transformation by clinical factors as biopsy specimens often cannot be obtained. Despite the frequency of clinical diagnosis, no clinical assessment tool has yet been established for FL transformation in the rituximab era. We derived and validated a transformation scoring system (TSS) based on retrospective analyses of 126 patients with biopsy‐proven FL and histologic transformation (HT) at two hospitals of the National Cancer Center of Japan. In the derivation set (76 patients), the detailed analyses of the clinical characteristics at disease progression showed that lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) elevation, focal lymph nodal (LN) enlargement, hemoglobin <12 g/dl, and poor performance status (PS) (2‐4) were associated with HT. The weights of these variables were decided based on the regression coefficients. Next, we constructed a TSS encompassing the above four factors: LDH, (> upper limit of normal [ULN], ≤ULN ×2) (1 point), (≥ULN ×2) (2 points); focal LN enlargement, (≥3 cm, <7 cm) (1 point), (≥7 cm) (2 points); hemoglobin <12 g/dl (1 point); poor PS (2 points). We identified a high positive predictive value (PPV) (96.4%) and negative predictive value (NPV) (85.4%) for diagnosing HT when a cutoff score of 2 was selected for our TSS. In an external validation set (50 patients), the probability of HT was high with scores ≥2 (PPV, 93.3%; NPV, 82.9%). We developed a TSS that offers a simple, yet, valuable tool, for diagnosing HT, especially in patients who cannot undergo biopsy.

Abstract
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histological transformation (HT) of follicular lymphoma (FL). Other types of HT are very rare, and their incidence, histopathology, and patient outcomes have not been sufficiently described. Here, we assessed the clinicopathological characteristics of 19 cases of non-DLBCL HT of FL in a single institution in Japan to advance the understanding of the disease. Among 889 consecutive patients diagnosed with FL between 2000 and 2018, 191 suffered HT (21%). The median follow-up period was 94 months (range = 3-225). A total of 172 patients (90%) had DLBCL transformation, whereas the remaining 19 patients (10%) exhibited non-DLBCL transformation. In the latter cases, the following diagnoses were made based on morphology, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses: classic Hodgkin lymphoma (7 patients; 4%); high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL) with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements (4 patients; 2%); HGBL, not otherwise specified (4 patients; 2%); B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (2 patients; 1%); anaplastic large-cell lymphoma-like lymphoma (1 patient; 0.5%); and plasmablastic lymphoma (1 patient; 0.5%). Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA-1 did not associate with HT in any of the cases tested (n = 8). Patients with non-DLBCL transformation showed poor outcomes, with a median overall survival of 13 months (range = 2 days-107 months); 10 of the patients (53%) died of HT. In conclusions, non-DLBCL transformation was observed in 10% of patients with HT from FL. Our data show that timely, accurate, and comprehensive histopathological diagnosis is needed to ensure optimal treatment and improve the outcome of these patients.

Abstract
CD20- change after rituximab-containing therapy is considered one of the main reasons of rituximab resistance of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (B-NHLs). However, the clinicopathological characteristics of B-NHL with CD20- change are not entirely understood. In this study, 252 B-NHL patients who were CD20+ at initial diagnosis, whose diseases relapsed or were refractory after rituximab-containing therapy, and who were re-biopsied between 2000 and 2018, were included. The median number of rituximab administration was 11 (range, 1-48). Completely negative (cCD20-) and partially negative (pCD20-) change of CD20 was observed in 49 (20%) and 16 (6%) cases, respectively. Among cCD20- and pCD20- cases, 74% and 62% of the cases changed to CD20- at the second relapse or later, respectively. Overall survival was significantly shorter in cCD20- follicular lymphoma (FL) cases than in CD20+ FL cases. Seven histopathological patterns, such as CD20- change without histological change, histological transformation (HT) to CD20- diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and proliferation of plasmablastic/plasmacytoid tumor cells, were associated with CD20- change. HT occurred more frequently in FLs with CD20- change than in FLs continuously expressing CD20 (P < 0.0001), regardless of the timing of HT. Nine out of 25 cases (36%) showed regain or heterogeneous regain of CD20 expression. In conclusion, 20% and 6% of the 252 B-NHL cases show cCD20- and pCD20- changes with 7 histological patterns after rituximab-containing therapy. Because changes in morphology and CD20 expression after rituximab-containing therapy vary, and recovery of CD20 expression is not rare, careful follow-up and re-biopsy in B-NHL patients are recommended.

Abstract
AIMS The Lugano classification is a novel staging system for lymphomas established in 2014. In this staging system, 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) was formally incorporated into standard staging for FDG-avid lymphomas, including Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). We retrospectively analyzed patients with HL who were newly diagnosed and treated at our institution to evaluate the utility of the Lugano classification compared to the Ann Arbor classification in Japanese patients with this type of lymphoma. METHODS Patients newly diagnosed with HL between 2005 and 2011 were identified through our departmental database. Data from neck-chest-abdomen-pelvis CT scans, BM examinations, and FDG-PET/CT that were routinely performed for staging at our clinical practice were retrieved and analyzed. RESULTS Fifty-four patients with a median age of 35.5 years (range: 15-78 years) were investigated in this retrospective study. The Lugano stage matched the Ann Arbor stage in 46 patients (85%). Six patients (11%) were upstaged while two (4%) were downstaged per the Lugano classification. Four patients (7%) were converted from early stage to advanced stage, but none was converted in the reverse. Among 11 patients (20%) with PET-positive bone/bone marrow lesions, only one (2%) exhibited biopsy-proven bone marrow involvement of HL cells. CONCLUSION Our data revealed a high concordance rate between the Lugano and Ann Arbor staging system in Japanese patients with HL. Because of its low diagnostic value, routine bone marrow examination might be unnecessary for staging when FDG-PET/CT is used as a substitute.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Discordance in biomarker expression between primary and metastatic tumor sites has been reported in several studies; yet, few have examined this feature in bone lesions. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled patients with breast cancer metastasis to the bone or bone marrow, excluding cases where samples from both the primary and metastatic lesions were not available. Expression patterns of the estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and Ki67 were compared in primary tumors and bone or bone marrow lesions. RESULTS Forty-six patients with a median age of 52 years (range, 34-72 years) were included in the study. Discordant rates of ER, PgR and HER2 were 20%, 46% and 0%, respectively. Physicians usually determined treatment options considering the results of biomarker re-evaluation. It is unlikely that biomarker discordance was related to prior treatment. CONCLUSIONS Biomarker discordance in bone or bone marrow lesions is common in patients with breast cancer. An accurate and thorough analysis of biomarkers and metastatic tumor properties is important for clinical decision-making.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is associated with pathogenesis of various cancers, including extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL). ENKL tumor cells are positive for EBV-encoded RNA1 (EBER1), which is the most useful marker to identify ENKL tumor cells in histopathology. Currently, EBER1 in situ hybridization (ISH) is recommended to evaluate bone marrow (BM) involvement of ENKL. However, the actual burden of EBER1-positive cells in normal BM specimens remains unclear. In the present study, we performed EBER1 ISH on 111 BM specimens, which were obtained during an initial staging procedure in patients with EBV-negative cancers and were also negative for BM involvement. One or more EBER1-positive cells per whole specimen were observed in 38 specimens (34%). The number of EBER1-positive cells was distributed as follows: single positive cell, n = 17; two positive cells, n = 13; three positive cells, n = 3; and four positive cells, n = 5. These findings suggest that four or fewer EBER1-positive cells can be observed in BM specimens of patients with non-EBV-related cancers. The clinical implications of a small number of EBER1-positive cells in BM specimens of patients with ENKL should be evaluated in further studies.

Abstract
We analyzed the clinicopathologic characteristics of 136 intestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) among 126 patients. The DLBCL sites were categorized as: duodenum (n = 23), ileocecal region (n = 63), other small intestine (n = 29), rectum (n = 7), and other large intestine (n = 14). Patients with DLBCLs of the ileocecal region or other small intestine frequently underwent surgery for ileus or perforations (P < 0.001), were predominantly male (P = 0.042), and had a higher incidence of limited-stage disease (P = 0.001), lower International Prognostic Index (P = 0.015), and lower incidence of lactate dehydrogenase elevation (P = 0.007) than those with DLBCLs of other regions. Half of the intestinal DLBCLs exhibited the germinal center B-cell phenotype. A low-grade B-cell lymphoma background was found in 21% of the cases; the prevalence was significantly lower in the ileocecal region (13%, P = 0.025), suggesting a higher incidence of de novo DLBCLs. Intestinal follicular lymphoma (FL) and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma backgrounds were observed in 10% and 0% of the cases, respectively. Five percent (5/107) of intestinal DLBCL cases were Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA-1 positive. The clinicopathologic characteristics of the DLBCLs differed by region. Histologic transformation of intestinal FL was observed in around 10% of the intestinal DLBCL cases.

Abstract
The clinical significance of extramedullary relapse (EMR) of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remains poorly defined. Here we report the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent allo-HSCT for AML at our institution between 2000 and 2012. A total of 293 patients with AML who underwent allo-HSCT were included. The median duration of follow-up in survivors was 1840 days. Disease status at the time of allo-HSCT was complete remission in 192 patients and nonremission in 101 patients. A total of 110 patients experienced AML relapse after allo-HSCT, including 18 with EMR only, 83 with bone marrow relapse (BMR) only, and 9 with both EMR and BMR. The 5-year cumulative incidence of EMR after allo-HSCT was 9.5%, whereas that of BMR only was 28.9%. In multivariate analysis, peripheral blood stem cell transplantation was associated with an increased risk of EMR. The 2-year overall survival after post-transplantation relapse was 7.5% in patients with BMR only, 11.1% in those with both EMR and BMR, and 27.5% in those with EMR only (P < .05). Although the short-term survival was better in patients with EMR only, they rarely achieved long-term survival. Appropriate strategies for both post-transplantation EMR and BMR are needed.

Abstract
Paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) is a severe autoimmune blistering disease associated with an underlying malignancy, and its prognosis is poor. We herein report the first patient with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (B-CLL/SLL)-associated PNP successfully treated with the Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib and rituximab. Although his PNP lesions did not improve with ibrutinib monotherapy, the combination of ibrutinib and rituximab was effective against B-CLL/SLL-associated PNP. This case suggests that ibrutinib plus rituximab may be a potent therapeutic option for B-CLL/SLL-associated PNP that is hard to control with ibrutinib alone.

Abstract
Calcineurin inhibitors (CIs) such as cyclosporine A (CSA) and tacrolimus often cause renal dysfunction, resulting in increased serum creatinine, hyperkalemia, and hyperuricemia. However, the effects of CIs on sodium excretion have not been fully elucidated. We retrospectively evaluated the effects of CI administration on sodium excretion in recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Fifty consecutive recipients each of allogeneic HSCT receiving either CSA or tacrolimus (100 patients in total) with available data for weekly fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) for a 4-week period after transplantation were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. No significant differences in patient characteristics were observed between CSA and tacrolimus groups except for the type of donor. FENa was significantly higher at the 3rd (1.25 ± 0.80) and 4th weeks (1.53 ± 1.06) after transplantation as compared with that at the 1st week (0.93 ± 0.51; P < 0.01, P < 0.001, respectively) in the tacrolimus group, but not at any time point in the CSA group. In addition, FENa was significantly higher in the tacrolimus group than the CSA group at the 4th week (1.53 ± 1.06 vs. 1.13 ± 0.80; P < 0.05). These results suggest that tacrolimus increases sodium excretion after allogeneic HSCT, and that this effect is minimal with CSA.

Abstract
We compared the incidence, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) findings, and histopathologic characteristics of gastric and duodenal follicular lymphomas (FL). Of 626 FL cases, primary gastric FL and secondary gastric involvement of FL were observed in 1% and 5% of the cases, respectively, which were lower incidences than duodenal FL (10% and 9%, respectively). Gastric FL usually appeared as submucosal tumors (primary, 71%; secondary, 79%), whereas duodenal FL, as granular lesions (primary, 92%: secondary, 87%). In the granular duodenal lesions, the neoplastic follicles were located sparsely on the muscularis mucosa and could be found between villi, whereas in the stomach, similar lesions were hidden within the lamina propria, and only larger lesions such as submucosal tumors could be detected on the mucosal surface. The differences in the incidences and EGD findings were considered to be associated with structural differences of the lamina propria. Typical FL features: grades 1-2 histology, follicularity, and CD10+ and/or BCL6+ and BCL2+ were usually observed in all primary and secondary gastric and duodenal FL. Gastroduodenal and bone marrow involvement were found in 12% and 33% of the cases, respectively, and there was no significant correlation between them (P=.095). Twenty-nine cases (5%) were up-staged by gastroduodenal-positive results. In conclusion, the histopathology of gastric FL was similar to that of duodenal and nodal FL; the differences in the incidence and EGD findings between gastric and duodenal FL were considered to be associated with structural difference of the lamina propria, and EGD was useful as a staging procedure.

Abstract
We analyzed the effects of the initial approach to patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) on outcomes in order to investigate whether the watch and wait (WW) strategy is still an acceptable approach in the rituximab era. We retrospectively analyzed 348 patients who were initially diagnosed with FL between 2000 and 2012. We compared the clinical outcomes of the WW cohort and immediate treatment cohort. Among 348 patients (median age of 57 years, range: 19-85), 101 were initially managed with WW and 247 were immediately treated. The median follow-up duration was 75 months (range: 7-169). The estimated median time to treatment failure (TTF) in the treatment following WW cohort and immediate treatment cohort were 92 months (95 % CI, 60.1-NA) and 77 months (95 % CI, 65.1-107.6), respectively, which were not significantly different (P = 0.272) . In a multivariate analysis, clinical stage was identified as a predictive factor of TTF (HR 1.19, 95 % CI, 1.03-1.38, P < 0.05). Neither overall survival rate nor cumulative risk of transformation between the WW cohort and immediate treatment cohort was significant. The results of the present study suggested that the WW strategy is still an acceptable approach for selected FL patients in the rituximab era.

Abstract
43 Background: Although adding docetaxel to cisplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (i.e. the DCF regimen) for esophageal cancer treatment may improve outcomes, this regimen has increased toxicity. However, the risk factors for severe non-hematological toxicities remain unknown. Methods: We analyzed data on esophageal cancer patients given at least one cycle of DCF between July 2009 and April 2014 at the National Cancer Center Hospital, Japan. DCF consisted of docetaxel 70 mg/m2/day (day 1), cisplatin 70 mg/m2/day (day 1), and continuous infusion of 5-fluorouracil 750 mg/m2/day (days 1–5), repeated every 3 weeks. Data on adverse events developing within three cycles were collected from medical records. Risk factors for severe adverse events were analyzed. Results: One hundred patients were enrolled, with a median age of 63 (range, 37 to 76); 81 male and 19 female; 96 squamous cell carcinomas and 4 adenocarcinomas; clinical situation neoadjuvant/induction/palliative: 69/23/8/1; clinical stage I/II/III/IV: 1/12/64/23; and performance status (PS) 0/1/2: 44/55/1. Forty patients (40%) developed grade 3 or more non-hematological adverse events, including anorexia (12%), mucositis (6%), and esophagitis (2%); 45 developed grade 4 hematological adverse events. Seventeen experienced febrile neutropenia (FN). There was one case of treatment-related death from serious infection. In multivariate analysis, age≥63 was at significantly increased risk of FN (P=0.013). Conclusions: DCF chemotherapy was safe in most patients and its toxicity was controllable. However, elderly patients may suffer from intense toxicity during DCF therapy.

Abstract
We report herein on a case of the primary intestinal tuberculosis in which small intestine perforation developed. A 60-year-old man with congestive heart failure developed fever and sudden onset of abdominal pain while he was in the hospital. Computed tomography of the abdomen showed a large amount of free-air and the thickening of a part of the ileum. Perforation of the gastrointestinal tract was diagnosed, The patient underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy and a partial resection of the ileum was performed. The presence of nodules in the ileum suggested possible tuberculosis of the intestine. Pathologically caseating epithelioid granulomas were noted and the diagnosis of tuberculosis of the ileum was made although microbiologically tuberculous bacilli were not documented. The patient was successfully treated with antituberculosis chemotherapy. Although intestinal tuberculosis is a rare cause of intestinal perforation, it is important to include intestinal tuberculosis as one of the cases.

Abstract
A 39-year-old woman (Case 1) and a 57-year-old woman (Case 2) underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for acute lymphoblastic leukemia and follicular lymphoma, respectively. Both patients had received tacrolimus orally for treatment of or prophylaxis against graft-versus-host disease. Seventeen months (Case 1) and 2 months (Case 2) post-transplantation, when the trough level of tacrolimus was maintained around 10 ng/ml, the serum sodium levels of Cases 1 and 2 decreased to 123.5 mEq/l and 125.6 mEq/l, respectively. Urinary sodium excretions increased to 186.8 mEq/day and 375.7 mEq/day, respectively. Sodium-losing nephropathy due to tacrolimus was diagnosed, and reducing the dose of tacrolimus with no other intervention resulted in resolution of the hyponatremia. Although sporadic kidney transplantation cases with sodium-losing nephropathy due to tacrolimus have been reported, no prior cases with this complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have been reported. Sodium-losing nephropathy should be recognized as one of the renal toxicities of tacrolimus in HSCT as well as kidney recipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify the mechanism of improvement in exercise capacity after the maze procedure. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Tertiary referral centre. PATIENTS 26 patients (mean (SD) age 57 (9) years) with atrial fibrillation (AF) and mitral valve disease were studied with echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise testing before and after the maze procedure combined with mitral valve surgery. Of these, eight had persistent AF and 18 had restored sinus rhythm (SR) by the surgery. Six patients (mean (SD) age 59 (12) years) with AF undergoing mitral valve surgery without the maze procedure who had cardiopulmonary exercise testing before and after the surgery formed the control group. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Echocardiographic parameters of atrial function were measured from transmitral flow recordings. Peak oxygen uptake (VO2) and the slope of the relation between VO2 and workload (ratio of DeltaVO2 to Delta work) were determined as indices of exercise capacity. RESULTS The degree of improvements in peak VO2 and the ratio of DeltaVO2 to Delta work after the mitral valve surgery was comparable between the maze and control group. It was also comparable between patients with and those without successfully restored SR after the maze procedure. The degree of the increase in peak VO2 correlated with the change in left atrial diameter (r = -0.40, p = 0.047) but atrial contraction did not correlate with the increase. CONCLUSIONS Improvement in exercise capacity may not be caused by restored SR and atrial contraction but may at least partly relate to the reduction of left atrial size and improvement of haemodynamic variables by the surgery.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Cardiac (123)I-labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) activity has significant incremental prognostic value, but the difference between the long-term prognostic value of MIBG imaging for ischemic cardiomyopathies and the long-term prognostic value of MIBG imaging for idiopathic cardiomyopathies is not clear. This study aimed to determine whether assessment of cardiac (123)I-MIBG activities in ischemic and idiopathic cardiomyopathies have equally prognostic values and whether the kinetics are different because of the underlying etiologies. METHODS After quantitative (123)I-MIBG imaging, 76 ischemic and 56 idiopathic cardiomyopathy patients were prospectively followed up for 54 mo. In addition to conventional parameters, cardiac (123)I-MIBG activity was quantified as a heart-to-mediastinum ratio (H/M) for early and late images and the washout kinetics were calculated using tomographic imaging. The data were compared with those obtained from 16 healthy volunteers. RESULTS During follow-up, 29 deaths from heart failure, 11 sudden cardiac deaths, 2 deaths from arrhythmia, and 5 deaths from acute myocardial infarction were documented. Multivariate discriminant analysis using the Cox proportional hazards model showed that, in comparison with other variables, late H/M was the most powerful independent predictor of a lethal clinical outcome in ischemic (Wald chi(2) = 18.6502; P = 0.0000) and idiopathic (Wald chi(2) = 5.3394; P = 0.0208) groups. When patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40% were considered, late H/M had the greatest statistical power in both groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed late H/M to have an identical threshold (1.82) for both groups for identifying patients at risk of cardiac death. Likewise, when analysis was restricted to patients with an LVEF < 40%, the upper cutoff value of late H/M was 1.50 (P = 0.0358; log rank = 4.41) for ischemic patients and 2.02 (P = 0.0050; log rank = 7.86) for idiopathic patients. For patients with an LVEF < 40% and a late H/M less than the identified threshold of late H/M, the annual rate of cardiac death was greatest, 18.2%/y for the ischemic group and 11.9%/y for the idiopathic group. CONCLUSION Cardiac (123)I-MIBG activity has the most powerful independent long-term prognostic value for both ischemic cardiomyopathy patients and idiopathic cardiomyopathy patients, indicating that both disease processes have common pathophysiologic and prognostic implications of impaired cardiac sympathetic innervation. Although combined testing of cardiac function and (123)I-MIBG activity is most likely to identify patients at increased risk of cardiac death, the underlying etiology of cardiac dysfunction may affect the threshold of (123)I-MIBG activity for the differentiation of high-risk patients.

Abstract
Left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) involvement in sarcoidosis must be firmly confirmed to determine patients' prognosis. We examined whether myocardial perfusion images using technetium-99m single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) have a diagnostic benefit in the evaluation of biventricular involvement. Sixteen patients with sarcoidosis, aged 21-78 (54 +/- 12) years old, 5 males and 11 females, complicated with cardiac disease (cardiac sarcoidosis, n = 6) including tachyarrhythmias of ventricular origin (n = 5), atrioventricular block (n = 4), and congestive heart failure (NYHA > or = II, n = 1), were enrolled in this study. Myocardial SPECT using technetium-99m sestamibi or tetrofosmin was performed and semiquantitatively scored for comparison with 25 control subjects. Perfusion abnormalities were more frequently recognized in sarcoidosis (LV 5/16, 31% and RV 14/16, 88% vs. LV 0/25, 0% and RV 8/25, 32% in controls). LV involvement had a close correlation with atrioventricular block and with congestive heart failure, and multiple sites of RV involvement correlated with ventricular tachyarrhythmia of RV origin. Total number of defect segments were highest in cardiac sarcoidosis (18/30, 60% vs. 19/60, 32% in noncardiac sarcoidosis, and 11/150, 7% in controls, p = 0.0001), and semiquantitatively evaluated total LV and RV scores (ranging from 0 to 18) were higher than those of controls (15.1 +/- 1.8 vs. 11.4 +/- 3.0 in noncardiac sarcoidosis, and 9.0 +/- 5.0 in cardiac sarcoidosis) and exhibited a significant positive linear correlation with the RV ejection fraction (y = 19.8 + 1.83x, r = 0.786, p = 0.001). Biventricular SPECT using technetium-99m is clinically useful for the noninvasive evaluation of both ventricular involvements in sarcoidosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the effectiveness of the maze procedure for maintaining sinus rhythm and atrial contraction for a long period in patients with mitral valve disease. BACKGROUND Although the maze procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF) has been effective in restoring sinus rhythm in patients with mitral valve disease, the long-term results of this procedure have not been determined. METHODS We echocardiographically studied 94 consecutive patients with mitral valve disease before, as well as early (3.1 +/- 3.3 months) and late (2.2 +/- 0.9 years) after, the maze procedure. Peak velocity and the time-velocity integral of the left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling wave during atrial contraction (A wave), as well as the atrial filling fraction (calculated as the ratio of the time-velocity integral of the A wave to total diastolic filling), were obtained from transmitral flow recordings. Peak A wave velocity > or =10 cm/s was considered to indicate echocardiographic evidence of effective atrial contraction. RESULTS Regular rhythm with P waves was restored in 70 patients (74%) in the early stage and in 59 patients (63%, p = 0.09) in the late stage after the maze procedure. Forty-seven patients (50%) in the early stage and 36 patients (38%, p = 0.14) in the late stage showed effective atrial contraction by Doppler echocardiography. Left atrial (LA) and LV end-diastolic diameters significantly decreased after the procedure (from 59 +/- 13 to 48 +/- 7 mm, p < 0.01; and from 54 +/- 9 to 47 +/- 5 mm, p < 0.01, respectively) and did not show significant changes during the follow-up period. Once atrial contraction was resumed, its degree did not change between the early and late stages after the maze procedure (17 +/- 6% vs. 17 +/- 6% for atrial filling fraction). CONCLUSIONS Sinus rhythm and atrial contraction recovered early after the maze procedure in most patients and were maintained for more than two years. Once active atrial contraction was resumed, the degree of contraction did not change thereafter. These results demonstrate that the maze procedure is effective for a long period in patients with mitral valve disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Left ventricular Doppler index (LVDI) is believed to be a useful echocardiographic index of systolic and diastolic ventricular function. However, the usefulness of right ventricular Doppler index (RVDI) remains uncertain, especially in dilated cardiomyopathy. The predictive value of RVDI for estimating long-term cardiac events, including cardiac death, was investigated. METHODS Fifty-nine consecutive patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (41 males and 18 females, mean age 52 +/- 15 years) were enrolled in this follow-up study. RVDI and LVDI were calculated as follows: DI = (isovolumic contraction time + isovolumic relaxation time)/ejection time. RESULTS During a follow-up period of 3.7 +/- 3.0 years, 27 (46%) of the patients exhibited cardiac events, including cardiac death (n = 9), heart failure (n = 16) and tachyarrhythmias (n = 2) requiring in-hospital treatment. Patients with these cardiac events had higher LVDI and RVDI at the initial follow-up examination, and RVDI had a significant linear correlation with LVDI (LVDI = 0.550 + 0.452 x RVDI, r = 0.530, p = 0.0001). The 6-year survival rate was significantly lower in patients with both LVDI > or = 0.78 and RVDI > or = 0.49 than in other patients (50% vs 75%, respectively, p = 0.009). Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed that RVDI > or = 0.49 was the independent predictor of cardiac events (p = 0.0153) and cardiac death (p = 0.0003). CONCLUSIONS RVDI is clinically useful for estimating the outcome of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
The mortality and morbidity associated with residual intracardiac floating thrombi in patients with acute pulmonary thromboembolism remain uncertain. Thirteen patients (2 men and 11 women, mean age 56 +/- 15 years) with pulmonary thromboembolism underwent echocardiography within 24 hours from onset of symptoms. Four patients (31%) had floating intracardiac thrombi in the right heart: 3 in the right atrium and one in the inferior vena cava. The time to evaluation by echocardiography was shorter than in the patients without thrombi. The thrombi disappeared shortly (3.2 +/- 2.4 hr) after thrombolysis without adverse effects in these patients. After thrombolysis, clinical symptoms improved and pressure gradient between the right ventricle and right atrium decreased significantly (p < 0.01) from baseline 47 +/- 6 to 26 +/- 5 mmHg. Major bleeding complications occurred in 3 (43%) of the patients who underwent thrombolysis. Right-side intracardiac floating thrombus was easily detectable by early echocardiography. Thrombolytic agents are likely to be effective in patients with intracardiac floating thrombi.

Abstract
Electrocardiographic and echocardiographic evaluations in 18 patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and 29 family members (25 males and 25 females from 7 pedigrees) aged 5 to 64 years (mean +/- 1 SD 30 +/- 16) revealed that 5 of 28 ARVC family members (17%) fulfilled ARVC Task Force criteria. Indexes on late potentials of the signal-averaged electrocardiogram had a significant linear correlation with the age of patients with ARVC and of family members with echocardiographic wall motion abnormality.
