Abstract
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration and biopsy have significantly evolved since they offer a minimally invasive approach for obtaining pathological specimens from lesions adjacent to or within the intestine. This paper reviews advancements in endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration and biopsy techniques and devices, emphasizing the importance of handling specimens for diagnostic accuracy. Innovations of fine needle biopsy needles with features like side holes and Franseen shapes have enhanced histological sampling capabilities. Techniques for specimen handling, including rapid on-site evaluation and macroscopic on-site evaluation, play pivotal roles in assessing sample adequacy, thereby influencing diagnostic outcomes. The utility of artificial intelligence in augmenting rapid on-site evaluation and macroscopic on-site evaluation, although still in experimental stages, presents a promising avenue for improving procedural efficiency and diagnostic precision. The choice of specimen handling technique is dependent on various factors including endoscopist preference, procedure objectives, and available resources, underscoring the need for a comprehensive understanding of each method's characteristics to optimize diagnostic efficacy and procedural safety.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bilateral self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement for unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (UMHBO) is an effective option for biliary drainage with long-term stent patency. Laser-cut and braided SEMS can be used for bilateral SEMS placement. This study aimed to clarify any differences in the clinical features and proper use of the laser-cut and braided SEMS placement using the stent-in-stent method for UMHBO. METHODS In this study, 78 patients who underwent bilateral stent-in-stent SEMS placement for UMHBO were included. The patients were divided into the laser-cut (n = 33) and braided groups (n = 45). Both groups were compared for technical and clinical success, adverse events (AEs), time to recurrent biliary obstruction (TRBO), overall survival, and endoscopic reintervention (ERI). RESULTS There were no significant differences in technical and clinical success rates (laser-cut vs. braided group, 97% vs. 95.6%, P = 1.0), AEs (21.2% vs. 15.6%. P = 0.56), median TRBO (242 days vs. 140 days, P = 0.36), and median overall survival (654 days vs. 675 days, P = 0.58). ERI was required in 15 patients in the laser-cut group and in 20 patients in the braided group. The technical and clinical success rates of ERI (60% vs. 85%) were not significantly different (P = 0.13); however, the median ERI procedure time was significantly longer in the laser-cut group (38 min) than in the braided group (22 min; P = 0.02). CONCLUSION No significant difference in initial SEMS placement was noted between the laser-cut and braided groups; however, the laser-cut group required a longer ERI procedure time than that required by the braided group. The use of braided SEMS may be a convenient option for ERI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Intraductal plastic stent (IS) placement for unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (UMHBO) is an effective option for biliary drainage. However, the effectiveness of bilateral IS placement compared with bilateral self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) placement remains unclear. METHODS Overall, 301 patients with UMHBO were enrolled; 38 patients underwent bilateral IS placement (IS group) and 38 patients underwent SEMS placement (SEMS group) in the propensity score-based cohort. Both groups were compared for technical and clinical success, adverse events (AEs), recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO), time to RBO (TRBO), overall survival (OS), and endoscopic reintervention (ERI). RESULTS No significant differences were observed between the groups regarding technical and clinical success, AEs and RBO occurrence rates, TRBO, or OS. The median initial endoscopic procedure time was significantly shorter in the IS group (23 vs 49 minutes, P < .01). ERI was performed on 20 and 19 patients in the IS and SEMS groups, respectively. The median ERI procedure time was significantly shorter in the IS group (22 vs 35 minutes, P = .04). Median TRBO after ERI with plastic stent placement tended to be longer in the IS group (306 vs 56 days, P = .068). A Cox multivariate analysis showed that the IS group was the significant related factor for TRBO after ERI (hazard ratio, .31; 95% confidence interval, .25-.82; P = .035). CONCLUSIONS Bilateral IS placement can reduce the duration of the endoscopic procedure and provide sufficient stent patency both initially and after ERI stent placement, and the stents are removable. Bilateral IS placement is considered a good option for initial UMHBO drainage. (Clinical trial registration number: UMIN000050546.).

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sludge occlusion is a primary reason for recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) after self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) placement. However, the efficacy of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) for SEMS occlusion remains unexplored to date. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of UDCA after SEMS placement for malignant distal biliary obstruction (MDBO). METHODS Three hundred fifty-four patients were included, of which 60 received UDCA. Additionally, we conducted a propensity score-matched cohort analysis on 110 patients with SEMS placement for MDBO to reduce selection bias. Patients were categorized into 2 groups of 55 each, based on whether they received UDCA. In the UDCA group, the treatment was administered for more than a month. The primary endpoint was the time to RBO (TRBO) after SEMS placement. The secondary endpoint was to evaluate SEMS occlusion rate and early adverse events (AEs). RESULTS The cumulative SEMS occlusion rate was 41.8% and 18.2% in the groups with and without UDCA, respectively (P = .0119). Median TRBO was significantly longer in the control group than in the UDCA group (528 vs 154 days, P = .0381). In the multivariate analysis, UDCA administration was identified as the independent risk factor for reducing TRBO (hazard ratio, 2.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-4.88; P = .0348). The overall early AE rate showed insignificant differences between groups. CONCLUSIONS Administering UDCA after SEMS placement was not efficacious for prolonging the TRBO in MDBO. Moreover, administering UDCA beyond a month might increase the risk of stent sludge occlusion. (Clinical trial registration number: UMIN000046862.).

Abstract
The specimen collection and subsequent pathological diagnosis of malignant biliary stricture (MBS) are difficult. This study aimed to determine whether the cell block (CB) method using overnight-stored bile is useful in the diagnosis of MBS. This trial was a single-arm prospective study involving a total of 59 patients with suspected MBS. The primary endpoint was cancer detectability and accuracy using the CB method, and a comparison with the detectability and accuracy achieved with bile cytology was made. The immunohistochemical sensitivity for maspin and p53 was also investigated in the CB and surgical specimens. We were able to collect bile from all 59 patients, and 45 of these patients were clinically diagnosed with MBS. The cancer detectability using the CB method (62.2%) was significantly higher than that using cytology (37.8%) (p = 0.0344). When CB was combined with biopsy, the rates of cancer detectability (75.6%) and accuracy (81.4%) increased. In eight patients who received surgical therapy, maspin- and p53-immunohistochemistry was applied to the surgical and CB specimens, and cancer cells in both specimens showed positive cytoplasmic and nuclear staining for maspin and nuclear staining for p53. The CB method is, thus, useful for detecting malignancy (UMIN000034707).

Abstract
After an abdominal injury, a woman in her 20s presented to our hospital with abdominal pain. Pancreatic trauma was discovered on computed tomography, along with a pancreatic duct injury and pancreatic juice leakage. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography revealed a 10-mm rupture of the pancreatic body's main pancreatic duct (MPD) and intraperitoneal leakage of contrast enzyme from the MPD. The pancreatic injury was treated with the placement of a 5-Fr endoscopic nasopancreatic drainage tube in the ruptured distal side of the pancreatic duct;however, 3 months later, the MPD stenosis occurred. The MPD stenosis was improved using a 7-Fr pancreatic stent, and finally, placement of the pancreatic stent was not required for MPD drainage.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a classic autoimmune connective tissue disease, which leads to multiple organ system injury. Tumor necrosis factor-induced protein 3 (TNFAIP3), generally called A20, has been documented to go together with the development of SLE. However, the role and mechanism of A20 in the progression of SLE are still unrevealed. In our study, A20 was downregulated in B cells from SLE patients and B cell responsiveness was significantly elevated in SLE patients. Overexpression of A20 restrained the proliferation and induced the apoptosis of B cells. Additionally, trimethylation of histone H3 Lysine 4 (H3K4me3) was decreased in the A20 promoter of SLE B cells. Lysine demethylase 5 A (Kdm5a) was significantly increased in B cells from SLE patients and negatively correlated with A20 expression. Further, Kdm5a knockdown increased the H3K4me3 level and A20 expression. More importantly, Kdm5a promoted the proliferation and inhibited the apoptosis of B cells in SLE via downregulation of A20. In general, Kdm5a promoted the proliferation and inhibited the apoptosis of B cells in SLE via downregulation of A20 by decreasing H3K4me3 enrichment level in the A20 promoter, suggesting a novel mechanism underlying SLE progression, and providing a promising therapeutic target for SLE.

Abstract
Background and study aims Preoperative assessment of the superficial ductal spread (SDS) of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (PCCA) is important for determining its resectability. A virtual endoscopic imaging method, magnetic resonance cholangioscopy (MRCS), wherein a three-dimensional image is created from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, can evaluate all aspects of arbitrary bile ducts. Patients and methods Overall, 15 patients with PCCA who underwent preoperative MRI were enrolled. All patients underwent surgical treatment. Results MRCS could be performed based on preoperative MRI data in all patients. MRCS could not be used in one patient due to debris in the obstructed bile duct. The remaining 14 patients (93 %) were diagnosed with obstructed bile duct or irregular surface of the bile duct, signifying tumor invasion. The accuracy rate of diagnosing the SDS was 93 % (14/15). Seven patients underwent preoperative peroral cholangioscopy; the scope could not pass through the tumor in three patients. In these three patients, MRCS was able to be use dtoevaluate the obstructed side of the bile duct and faciliated accurate diagnosis of SDS. Conclusions MRCS can be used to noninvasively evaluate the bile duct in all directions. This novel method makes it easy to create virtual images and can be useful for diagnosing the preoperative SDS of PCCA.

Abstract
Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex polygenic autoimmune disease characterized by immune-system aberrations. Among several types of immune cells, T follicular helper (Tfh) cells promote autoantibody production, whereas T follicular regulatory (Tfr) cells suppress Tfh-mediated antibody responses.(1)Objectives:To identify the characteristics of Tfr cells and to elucidate the mechanisms of conversion of Tfh cells to Tfr cells, we probed the phenotype of T helper cells in patients with SLE and underlying epigenetic modifications by cytokine-induced signal transducer and activators of transcription (STAT) family factors.Methods:Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from SLE patients (n=44) and healthy donors (HD; n=26) were analyzed by flow cytometry. Memory Tfh cells were sorted and cultured under stimulation with T cell receptor and various cytokines. Expression of characteristic markers and phosphorylation of STATs (p-STATs) were analyzed by flow cytometry and quantitation PCR. Histone modifications were evaluated by chromatin immunoprecipitation.Results:The proportion of CXCR5+FoxP3+Tfr cells in CD4+T cells tended to increase (2.1% vs 1.7%, p=0.17); however, that of CD4+CD45RA-FoxP3hiactivated Tfr cells in Tfr cells was decreased (4.8% vs 7.1%, p<0.05), while CD4+CD45RA-FoxP3lownon-suppressive Tfr cells was increased (50.1% vs 38.2%, p<0.01) in SLE compared to HD. The percentage of PD-1hiactivated Tfh cells was significantly higher in SLE compared to HD (15.7% vs 5.9%, p<0.01). Furthermore, active patients had a higher ratio of activated Tfh/Tfr cells compared to inactive patients. In vitro study showed that IL-2, but not other cytokines such as TGF-β1, IL-12, IL-27, and IL-35, induced the conversion of memory Tfh cells to functional Tfr cells characterized by CXCR5+Bcl6+Foxp3hipSTAT3+pSTAT5+cells. The loci ofFOXP3at STAT binding sites were marked by bivalent histone modifications. After IL-2 stimulation, STAT5 directly bound on FOXP3 gene loci accompanied by suppressing H3K27me3. Finally, we found that serum level of IL-2 was decreased in SLE and that stimulation with IL-2 suppressed the generation of CD38+CD27+B cells by ex vivo coculture assay using Tfh cells and B cells isolated from human blood.Conclusion:Our findings indicated that the regulatory function of Tfr cells is impaired due to the low ability of IL-2 production and that IL-2 restores the function of Tfr cells through conversion of Tfh cells to Tfr cells in SLE. Thus, the reinstatement of the balance between Tfh and Tfr cells will provide important therapeutic approaches for SLE.References:[1]Deng J, Wei Y, Fonseca VR, et al.

Abstract
Background:To increase the remission rate of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), it is necessary to determine the efficacy of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor as early as possible. Moreover, the response to certolizumab pegol (CZP) at 12 weeks has been reported to predict its long-term efficacy.Objectives:As part of a prospective single-center observational study (TSUBAME study), we prospectively enrolled patients to be treated with CZP in our institution to evaluate its effectiveness and safety starting at 24 hours after the first dose in clinical settings, while recording blood CZP concentrations and biomarkers over time to examine their correlation with clinical effects.Methods:One hundred patients with RA and inadequate response to MTX who received CZP were enrolled in the TSUBAME study. The changes in serum TNFα, IL-6, and CZP levels at 24 hours after first administration of CZP were measured, and the correlation between serum biomarkers and clinical response was determined.Results:At 24 hours after CZP initiation, significant improvement was observed in the disease activity (baseline and 24 h: 5.4 ± 1.3, 5.0 ± 1.3, respectively, p < 0.01), which was maintained until week 12. (baseline and 12 w: 5.4 ± 1.3, 3.3 ± 1.4, respectively, p < 0.01). Serum TNFα and IL-6 levels significantly decreased at 24 hours after first administration of CZP compared to baseline. No correlation was found between TNFα and IL-6 levels at baseline and the clinical response. According to univariate analysis, low serum TNFα and IL-6 levels and high CZP levels at 24 hours were associated with DAS28 (ESR) remission at 12 weeks. According to multivariate analysis, low serum TNFα levels at 24 hours were significantly associated with DAS28 (ESR) remission at 12 weeks (OR 0.05, 95%CI 0.01, 0.75, p = 0.03). Based on these findings, an ROC curve was created using remission according to the DAS28 (ESR) at week 12 as a dependent variable and TNFα concentration at 24 hours as an independent variable, resulting in a cut-off value of 0.76 pg/ml. From this result, the TNFα concentration at 24 hours was divided into 2 groups according to this cut-off, and the rates of remission according to the DAS28 (ESR) at week 12 were compared. In the group with TNFα concentration at 24 hours below the cut-off value, the rate of remission according to the DAS28 (ESR) at week 12 was significantly higher than in the group with TNFα concentration at 24 hours above the cut-off value (below the cut-off: above the cut-off = 56.3%: 21.6%, p < 0.001). Between the group that achieved remission according to the DAS28(ESR) and the group that did not achieve remission at week 12, there was almost no difference in the distribution of TNFα concentrations at baseline; however, the distribution of TNFα concentrations at 24 hours was lower in the group that achieved remission.Conclusion:CZP was effective where serum TNFα was strongly neutralized within 24 hours. These results suggest that low serum TNFα levels at 24 hours after first administration of CZP may predict the effectiveness of CZP. To increase the remission rate in RA, it is necessary to determine the effectiveness of the molecular targeted drugs used at an early point, in addition to how rapid the onset of action is. CZP is extremely fast-acting, and its effectiveness can be predicted as early as 24 hours after the first dose, suggesting that it may be possible to determine the effectiveness early.Acknowledgments:The authors thank Ms. M.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, there are some reports that hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is incidentally detected by multi-slice computed tomography. It is believed that valve thrombosis causes HALT, because oral anticoagulation therapy (OAC) is effective for HALT regression. Furthermore, it is reported that d-dimer level increases in patients with HALT, and might be a key biomarker to detect HALT.
Purpose
We sought to investigate the predictors related to increased d-dimer level at 6 months after follow-up TAVI.
Methods
We enrolled 124 consecutive patients who underwent successful TAVI between 2016 and 2018. Study patients were classified into two groups according to antithrombotic therapy resume (OAC therapy or anti-platelet therapy).We set the primary endpoint as the d-dimer levels at 6 months after TAVI. To evaluate the risks of the primary endpoint, we employed a multivariable linear regression model, setting the primary endpoint as an objective variable and patient and clinical backgrounds as explanatory variables. Furthermore, we set the secondary endpoint as one-year bleeding event.
Results
The median age of patients was 83 years old (quartile 80-87). Patients who had taken OAC at 6 months follow-up after TAVI were 29.8%. The median d-dimer level at 6 months after TAVI was 1.3 (1.0-2.2) µg/ml, and OAC group had statistically lower d-dimer level at 6 months follow-up than those in non-OAC group (p = 0.020). Uni-variable liner regression model demonstrated that increased d-dimer level at follow-up had significant relationship with large effective orifice area (EOA) (p = 0.002) and low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (p = 0.048) after TAVI. Furthermore, large EOA (p = 0.003) and OAC therapy (p = 0.027) were independently associated with increased d-dimer level in multivariate analysis. Kaplan-Meier estimates revealed that there were no significant difference regarding one-year bleeding event between OAC group and non-OAC group (long-rank p = 0.167).
Conclusions
This study suggests that large EOA after TAVI is associated with increased d-dimer levels at 6 months after TAVI, and OAC therapy might have a potential to decrease d-dimer level after TAVI without increase of bleeding events.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Little evidence is available regarding the risk of peri-procedural stroke detected by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Our purpose was to evaluate stroke risk after TAVI using DW-MRI by enrolling consecutive patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI and post-procedural DW-MRI.
Methods
We prospectively enrolled 113 consecutive patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI and post-procedural DW-MRI. We used balloon-expandable valves as first-line therapy and selected self-expandable valves only for patients with narrow sinotubular junctions or annuli. We set the primary endpoint as the number of high intensity areas (HIA) detected by DW-MRI regardless of the size of the area. To evaluate the risks of the primary endpoint, we employed a multivariable linear regression model, setting the primary endpoint as an objective variable and patient and clinical backgrounds as explanatory variables. In addition, the relationship between valve type and the number of HIAs on DW-MRI was also confirmed by the propensity score matching analysis to evaluate the robustness of the result, using a multivariable linear regression model with the protocol described in the previous manuscript. Shortly, the propensity score was calculated with a logistic regression model by setting the treatment as the response variable and baseline characteristics and procedural information that were significantly different between 2 groups (balloon expandable and self-expandable) as explanatory variables, which included age, estimated glomerular filtration rate, oversizing rate, and BAV before THV deployment.
Results
Median patient age was 84 years, and 36.3% were men. Ninety-three patients underwent balloon-expandable TAVI and 20 underwent self-expandable TAVI. Symptomatic stroke occurred in 6 (5.3%) whereas asymptomatic stroke occurred in 59 (52.2%) patients. The incidence of symptomatic and total stroke was higher in patients who underwent self-expandable TAVI than those who underwent balloon-expandable TAVI (30.0% vs 0.0%, p<0.001 and 90.0% vs 50.5%, p=0.001, respectively). A multivariable linear regression model demonstrated an increased primary endpoint when self-expandable TAVI was performed (p<0.001). The other covariates had no significant relationship to the primary endpoint. Akaike information criterion-based stepwise statistical model selection revealed that valve type was the only explanatory variable for the best predictive model. This result was also confirmed with the propensity score matching analysis (estimate, 2.359; 95% CI, 0.426–4.292; p=0.019) after adjustments of propensity score, in which 28 patients were matched (n=14 in each group).
Conclusions
Self-expandable valves were associated with increased numbers of HIA on DW-MRI after TAVI in patients with severe aortic stenosis.

Abstract
Continuous cell monitoring is very important for the maintenance and control of cell multiplication and differentiation. This paper presents a compact microplate reader that is able to continuously measure a 24-well microplate (6 × 4 wells) using the optical absorption measurement method. The 24-channel plate reader consisted of a spatial filter, light emitting diode light source, and color sensors and was similarly sized with the cell culture microwell plates. A spatial filter was previously fabricated by our group using silicone optical technology (SOT). This SOT-based spatial filter has an excellent noise reduction effect. Light reflection at the optical path interface can be absorbed and only forward light can be transmitted; accordingly, a larger S/N ratio than that of conventional optical systems is expected. The fabricated 24-channel plate reader permits real-time cell monitoring during cultivation on the clean bench and in cell culture conditions by incorporating the SOT spatial filter. Using the device, it was possible to continuously evaluate the concentration and pH of reagents in the 24 wells in real time. Moreover, cell activity and protein production were detectable using the device. These results suggest that the newly fabricated device is a promising tool for the evaluation of cell behaviors for cell management.

Abstract
Objective We examined the efficacy and safety of rituximab in patients with refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods The study enrolled 63 SLE patients who were treated with rituximab between 2002 and 2015. The participants underwent a battery of tests before treatment and at one year. Treatment ranged from two to four times at 500 or 1000 mg. Results Baseline characteristics were males:females = 6:57, age 33.9 years, and disease duration 87.2 months. The primary endpoint: The rate of major clinical response (MCR) was 60% while the partial clinical response (PCR) was 25%. Thirty of 36 (83%) patients with lupus nephritis (WHO II: 2, III: 5, IV: 22, V: 4, IV+V: 2, not assessed: 1) and 22 of 24 patients (92%) with neuropsychiatric SLE, who could be followed at one year, showed changes from BILAG A or B score to C or D score at one year. Multivariate analysis identified high anti-dsDNA antibody and shorter disease duration as significant determinants of MCR at one year. Repeat examination was conducted at five years. Primary failure was recorded in 8.8% and secondary failure in 32.4% (time to relapse: 24.4 months). Rituximab was well tolerated although 65 adverse events, mostly infections, were recorded within one year. Conclusion Rituximab is potentially efficacious for the treatment of patients with refractory SLE.

Abstract
It has been reported that T helper 17 cells are involved in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus, but there is no report on interleukin-17-targeted therapy. We report a case of a 62-year-old female who presented with psoriasis vulgaris and refractory lupus nephritis. Because her conditions were resistant to conventional treatment, and flow cytometry confirmed the proliferation of activated T helper 17 cells in peripheral blood, and examination of a renal biopsy tissue sample confirmed infiltration of numerous interleukin-17-positive lymphocytes to the renal interstitium, administration of the anti-interleukin-17A antibody secukinumab was initiated. After starting secukinumab the clinical and biological features were improved.

Abstract
B cells play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the percentages of plasmablasts and IgD−CD27− double-negative memory B cells in peripheral blood are significantly increased, while IgD+CD27+ IgM memory B cells are significantly decreased compared to healthy donors. The phenotypic change is significantly associated with disease activity and concentration of autoantibodies. Treatment of B-cell depletion using rituximab results in the reconstitution of peripheral B cells in SLE patients with subsequent improvement in disease activity. Numerous studies have described abnormalities in B-cell receptor (BCR)-mediated signaling in B cells of SLE patients. Since differences in BCR signaling are considered to dictate the survival or death of naïve and memory B cells, aberrant BCR signal can lead to abnormality of B-cell subsets in SLE patients. Although Syk and Btk function as key molecules in BCR signaling, their pathological role in SLE remains unclear. We found that Syk and Btk do not only transduce activation signal through BCR, but also mediate crosstalk between BCR and Toll-like receptor (TLR) as well as BCR and JAK-STAT pathways in human B cells in vitro. In addition, pronounced Syk and Btk phosphorylation was observed in B cells of patients with active SLE compared to those of healthy individuals. The results suggest the involvement of Syk and Btk activation in abnormalities of BCR-mediated signaling and B-cell phenotypes during the pathological process of SLE and that Syk, Btk and JAK are potential therapeutic targets in SLE.

Abstract
Ultrafast magnetization reversal of a ferrimagnetic metallic alloy GdFeCo was investigated by time-resolved resonant magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements using a seeded free electron laser. The GdFeCo alloy was pumped by a linearly polarized optical laser pulse, and the following temporal evolution of the magnetization of Fe in GdFeCo was element-selectively traced by a probe free electron laser pulse with a photon energy tuned to the Fe M-edge. The results have been measured using rotating analyzer ellipsometry method and confirmed magnetization switching caused by ultrafast heating.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Activation of B cells is a hallmark of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Syk and TRAF6 are key signaling molecules in B-cell activation through BCR and CD40/TLR, respectively. Nevertheless, whether expression of Syk and TRAF6 is altered in SLE B cells remains unknown. METHODS Phosphorylation and/or expression of Syk and TRAF6 were analyzed by flow cytometry in peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from SLE patients. RESULTS Pronounced phosphorylation and expression of Syk were noted in B cells from SLE patients compared with healthy donors. Levels of Syk phosphorylation correlated with the disease activity score. TRAF6 was significantly over-expressed in B cells of SLE patients as compared with healthy donors, and significant correlation of levels of TRAF6 expression and Syk phosphorylation was observed in SLE patients. Levels of TRAF6 expression were more pronounced in CD27+ memory B cells than in CD27-naïve B cells. In vitro treatment of SLE B cells with a Syk inhibitor (BAY61-3606) reduced Syk phosphorylation as well as TRAF6 expression. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the activated Syk-mediated TRAF6 pathway leads to aberrant activation of B cells in SLE, and also highlight Syk as a potential target for B-cell-mediated processes in SLE.

Clinicopathological information was collected from our database and compared with 36 diaphyseal, 405 proximal and 519 distal metaphyseal, and 14 whole bone osteosarcoma patients. Additionally, case-control study matching by age, gender, site, and metastatic status at diagnosis with 1:3 ratio of 36 diaphyseal to 108 metaphyseal osteosarcomas patients was also conducted. RESULTS Five-year overall survival and metastasis-free survival of the three groups including diaphyseal, metaphyseal, and whole bone osteosarcoma patients showed significant difference (P = .029 and P = .013, respectively), although there is no difference for the survivals between proximal and distal metaphyseal osteosarcoma patients. Case-control study showed that patients with diaphyseal osteosarcomas had a significantly larger tumour (mean 13.5 cm vs 10 cm, P = .026), and demonstrated higher pathologic fracture rate (28% vs 12%, P = .033), superior 5-year metastasis-free survival (74% vs 40%, P = .0068), and slightly better 5-year overall survival (68% vs 46%, P = .074). Prognostic factor analysis showed that a pathologic fracture significantly decreased the survival of the patients with diaphyseal osteosarcoma. CONCLUSIONS The current study showed that diaphyseal osteosarcoma has distinct clinical features from metaphyseal osteosarcoma having an increased risk of pathologic fractures but with favorable survival outcome.

Abstract
Background: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive neoplasm arising from mesothelial lining of pleura. CD26 molecules preferentially expressed on epithelioid type of MPM. This study investigates the molecular mechanisms of CD26 regulating MPM cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods: Biochemical and cell biological approaches were used for identifying a novel molecular target of MPM. Its contribution to tumour expansion has been also assessed using animal models. The clinical samples of MPM were also assessed for its expression. Results: We identify that cytostatic effects in MPM are mediated by somatostatin (SST) receptor 4 (SSTR4), being inhibited by the interaction of CD26 molecules. We also indicates that SSTR4-mediated cytostatic effects are regulated by SHP-2 PTP, and that this inhibitory effect by SST agonist is enhanced via lipid raft clustering of associated molecules following crosslinking of anti-CD26 antibody. Finally, using an in vivo xenograft model, we demonstrate that the anti-tumour effect of anti-CD26 mAb is enhanced when combined with SSTR4 agonist treatment, and that SSTR4 is highly coexpressed with CD26 on epithelioid or biphasic types of MPM tissues obtained from patients' surgical specimens. Conclusions: Combination therapy with humanised anti-CD26 mAb and SSTR4 agonist may therefore potentiate anti-tumour effect on MPM.

Abstract
Exposure to maternal stress (MS) and mutations in GAD1, which encodes the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesizing enzyme glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) 67, are both risk factors for psychiatric disorders. However, the relationship between these risk factors remains unclear. Interestingly, the critical period of MS for psychiatric disorders in offspring corresponds to the period of GABAergic neuron neurogenesis and migration in the fetal brain, that is, in the late stage of gestation. Indeed, decrement of parvalbumin (PV)-positive GABAergic interneurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus (HIP) has often been observed in schizophrenia patients. In the present study, we used GAD67-green fluorescent protein (GFP) knock-in mice (that is, mice in which the Gad1 gene is heterozygously deleted; GAD67(+/GFP)) that underwent prenatal stress from embryonic day 15.0 to 17.5 and monitored PV-positive GABAergic neurons to address the interaction between Gad1 disruption and stress. Administration of 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine revealed that neurogenesis of GFP-positive GABAergic neurons, but not cortical plate cells, was significantly diminished in fetal brains during MS. Differential expression of glucocorticoid receptors by different progenitor cell types may underlie this differential outcome. Postnatally, the density of PV-positive, but not PV-negative, GABAergic neurons was significantly decreased in the mPFC, HIP and somatosensory cortex but not in the motor cortex of GAD67(+/GFP) mice. By contrast, these findings were not observed in wild-type (GAD67(+/+)) offspring. These results suggest that prenatal stress, in addition to heterozygous deletion of Gad1, could specifically disturb the proliferation of neurons destined to be PV-positive GABAergic interneurons.

Abstract
Abstract β1 integrins play crucial roles in a variety of cell processes such as adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation of lymphocytes. To understand the molecular mechanisms of these various biological effects, it is particularly important to analyze cell signaling through the β1 integrins. Our previous study showed that PLC-γ, pp125FAK (focal adhesion kinase), pp105, paxillin, p59fyn, p56lck, and ERK1/2 are phosphorylated in their tyrosine residues upon engagement of β1 integrins. We identified pp105 as Cas (Crk-associated substrate)-related protein and successfully cloned its cDNA. pp105 is a Cas homologue predominantly expressed in the cells of lymphoid lineage, which led us to designate it Cas-L. Like p130Cas, Cas-L contains a single SH3 domain and multiple SH2-binding sites (YXXP motif), which are suggested to bind SH2 domains of Crk, Nck, and SHPTP2. Subsequent studies revealed that pp125FAK binds Cas-L on its SH3 domain and phosphorylates its tyrosine residues upon β1 integrin stimulation. Since Cas-L is preferentially expressed in lymphocytes, it is conceivable that Cas-L plays an important role in lymphocyte-specific signals. We have shown that Cas-L is involved in the T-cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 signaling pathway as well as the β1 integrin signaling pathway. Cas-L is transiently phosphorylated following CD3 crosslinking and tyrosine-phosphorylated Cas-L binds to Crk and C3G. Furthermore, a Cas-L mutant (Cas-LΔSH3), which lacks the binding site for FAK, is still tyrosine-phosphorylated upon CD3 crosslinking but not upon β1 integrin crosslinking, suggesting that FAK is not involved in CD3-dependent Cas-L phosphorylation. Finally, we have identified a crucial role of Cas-L in β1 integrin-mediated T-cell co-stimulation. We have found that this co-stimulatory pathway is impaired in the Jurkat T-cell line, and that the expression level of Cas-L is reduced in the Jurkat cells compared to peripheral T-cells. The transfection of Cas-L cDNA into Jurkat cells restored the β1 integrin-mediated co-stimulation, while the transfection of Cas-LΔSH3 mutant failed to do so, which contrasts with the case of CD3-mediated signaling. These results indicate that Cas-L plays a key role, through the association and phosphorylation by FAK, in β1 integrin-mediated T-cell co-stimulation. Moreover, tyrosine phosphorylation of Cas-L is critical for T-cell receptor and β1 integrin-induced T-lymphocyte migration. Taken together, Cas-L might be the bi-modal docking protein which assembles the signals through β1 integrins and TCR/CD3, and which participates in a variety of T-cell functions.
