Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim to examine the prevalence and prognosis of cachexia according to the Asian Working Group for Cachexia (AWGC) criteria in patients with sarcopenic dysphagia. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted with 271 patients diagnosed with sarcopenic dysphagia out of 467 patients enrolled in the Japanese sarcopenic dysphagia database. Cachexia was diagnosed by the AWGC criteria. The AWGC criteria includes chronic diseases, either or both weight loss (2% or more over 3-6 mo) or low BMI (<21 kg/m2), and at least one of the following: anorexia, decreased grip strength (<28 kg in men and <18 kg in women), or elevated C-reactive protein levels (>0.5 mg/dL). Outcomes were death, swallowing function as assessed by the Food Intake LEVEL Scale (FILS), and activities of daily living as assessed by the Barthel Index (BI) at follow-up. RESULTS The mean age was 84 (±8) y; 152 (56%) were female, and 97 (36%) had cachexia. In univariate analysis, death was significantly more common in the cachexia group (15% versus 2%, P ≤ 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that cachexia was independently associated with death (odds ratio: 3.557, 95% confidence interval: 1.010, 12.529). No significant differences were found in the presence or absence of cachexia in the FILS (7 versus 8, P = 0.849) and BI (55 versus 52.5, P = 0.892). CONCLUSIONS Cachexia was found in 36% of patients with sarcopenic dysphagia, and death was significantly higher in cachexia.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) We investigated whether dosimetric differences existed in nodal clinical target volume (CTV) using options for geometric expansion and lymph node stations based on the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) guideline for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS/METHODS With treatment planning computed tomographic images in 17 patients who underwent radiotherapy for cT4N2M0 NSCLC from 2017 to 2022 at our institution, we retrospectively contoured nodal CTVs based on the guideline's options of: (1) geometric expansion, CTV including the nodal gross tumor volume plus 5 mm margin: (2) lymph node stations, CTV including the affected lymph node stations. The 5 mm margins for planning target volume (PTV) were added to the nodal and primary tumors' CTVs. Treatment planning of 60 Gy in 30 fractions to the PTV D50% was performed using volumetric modulated arc therapy; Dn% was irradiated dose to n% of volume of the structure; VnGy was percentage of volume of the structure at least irradiated n Gy. We compared dose-volume parameters between the two options using Wilcoxon rank sum test. RESULTS Primary tumors were located in the right and left lobes in 12 and five patients, and in the upper and lower lobes in 13 and four patients, respectively. Median PTV size/D95% of the options for geometric expansion and lymph node stations were 569 cc (range, 149-2005 cc)/58.2 Gy (range, 57.5-58.7 Gy) and 635 cc (range, 184-2109 cc)/58.1 Gy (range, 57.5-58.7 Gy), respectively. Median mean dose of the esophagus/heart in the two options were 12.2 Gy (range, 6.6-24.9 Gy)/3.3 Gy (range, 0.6-19.1 Gy) and 16.1 Gy (range, 13.6-30.5 Gy)/4.6 Gy (range, 0.7-18.9 Gy), respectively. Median V20 Gy/mean dose of the lungs in the options for geometric expansion and lymph node stations were 20.5% (range, 14.8-33.9%)/12.2 Gy (range, 8.7-18.4 Gy) and 24.0% (range, 15.1-36.7%)/13.5 Gy (range, 9.5-19.4 Gy), respectively. In the eight patients (47%) with lymph node metastases in stations 2 or 3, a significant dosimetric difference between the two options existed on V20 Gy of the lungs; median values of the difference were 2.8% and 0.5% with and without lymph node metastases in stations 2 or 3, respectively (p = 0.027). CONCLUSION Of the ESTRO guideline for the nodal CTV, using the option for geometric expansion might be able to reduce V20 Gy of the lungs in patients with lymph node metastases in stations 2 or 3.

Abstract
We report a search for cosmic-ray boosted dark matter with protons using the 0.37 megaton×years data collected at Super-Kamiokande experiment during the 1996-2018 period (SKI-IV phase). We searched for an excess of proton recoils above the atmospheric neutrino background from the vicinity of the Galactic Center. No such excess is observed, and limits are calculated for two reference models of dark matter with either a constant interaction cross section or through a scalar mediator. This is the first experimental search for boosted dark matter with hadrons using directional information. The results present the most stringent limits on cosmic-ray boosted dark matter and exclude the dark matter-nucleon elastic scattering cross section between 10^{-33}cm^{2} and 10^{-27}cm^{2} for dark matter mass from 1 MeV/c^{2} to 300 MeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
Turbulence spreading into the edge stochastic magnetic layer induced by magnetic fluctuation is observed at the sharp boundary region in the large helical device. The density fluctuation excited at the sharp boundary region with a large pressure gradient does not propagate into the boundary region due to the blocking of turbulence spreading by the large second derivative of the pressure gradient. Once the magnetic fluctuation appears at the boundary, the density fluctuation begins to penetrate the edge stochastic layer and the second derivative of the pressure gradient also decreases. The increase of density fluctuation in this layer results in the broadening and reduction of the peak divertor heat load. It is demonstrated that magnetic fluctuation plays a key role in controlling the turbulence spreading at the boundary of plasma which contributes to the reduction of divertor heat load.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Mitral L wave, prominent mid-diastolic filling wave in echocardiographic examinations, is associated with severe left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, and that has been reported to predict recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardioversion. However, association between mitral L wave and the outcome of AF after radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has not been established.
Objective
The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive value of mitral L wave on AF recurrence after RFCA.

250 patients including 164 paroxysmal AF (65.6%) and 86 non-paroxysmal AF (34.4%) who received RFCA in single center from January 2015 to December 2016 were enrolled consecutively. Echocardiographic examinations before RFCA were recorded, and the mitral L wave was defined as a distinct mid-diastolic flow velocity with a peak velocity ≥20 cm/s following the E wave. Systematic follow-up was conducted after RFCA. Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out to determine the factors predicting late recurrence of AF (LRAF) which means AF recurrence after 3 months. Enrolled patients were divided into groups with the L wave (L-group; n=57) or without the L wave (NL-group; n=193) based on the findings of echocardiographic examinations.
Results
During a follow-up of 35.0±17.6 months, the ratio of LRAF in the L-group was significantly higher than that in the NL-group (32 (56.1%) vs. 41 (21.2%), Hazard ratio [HR]: 3.55, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.33 - 5.42, p<0.001). Among the clinical factors, presence of mitral L wave, BNP value, non-paroxysmal AF and moderate-severe mitral regurgitation were related to LRAF. A multivariate analysis using a Cox proportional hazard model found that presence of mitral L wave (HR: 2.67, 95% CI: 1.30 - 5.48, p=0.007) was significantly associated with LRAF.
Conclusion
This study revealed that mitral L wave predicts late recurrence of AF after RFCA.

Abstract
During anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), endotracheal tube difficulties are anticipated at the operative level but are unexpected elsewhere in the airway. We report the case of a 66-year-old woman who underwent C4/C5 ACDF to treat adjacent segment disease following a previous anterior cervical fixation surgery. Shortly after her lower jaw was elevated and the fusion cage was inserted, a rise in airway pressure was observed, indicating impaired breathing. Subsequent examination revealed a bent endotracheal tube in the oral cavity as the cause of the respiratory impairment. During anterior cervical surgery, elevating the lower jaw can cause the tongue root to press against the endotracheal tube. Reinforced endotracheal tubes, with a spiral-wound wire in the inner wall, would effectively prevent this issue. In the unlikely event of impaired breathing during such an operation, the oral cavity should be inspected for confirmation of an open airway.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The arrhythmic substrates of the myocardium such as depolarization and repolarization abnormalities are thought to reflect cardiac dysfunction prior to the morphologic left ventricular dysfunction. Activation time (AT), recovery time (RT) and T wave peek-end interval dispersion (Tpe-dispersion) are useful indicators of the arrhythmic substrate. We examined the appearance of depolarization and repolarization abnormalities in patients with cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) using AT, RT and Tpe-dispersion.
Methods
We conducted a standardized case-control study of CTRCD with 40 patients who developed breast cancer and treated with trastuzumab (13 cases and 27 controls). We assessed the relation between electrocardiographic indexes, including AT, RT and corrected Tpe-dispersion, and CTRCD. QT intervals were measured by Fridericia method, and QT observer 3 software were used for the measurement of all electrocardiographic indexes.
Results
LVEF in case and control group were 45.7±8% and 69.2±6%, respectively. AT in aVR lead was significantly higher in case group compared with control (28.8±7ms vs 22.8±5ms, P=0.02). corrected Tpe-dispersion tended to be higher in case group than that of control group (43.2±19ms vs 31.9±10ms, P=0.06). QT dispersion and RT dispersion were not different between case and control group.
Conclusions
Our study demonstrated that AT in aVR may predict cardiac dysfunction in breast cancer patients with HER2-inhibitor related cardiac dysfunction. More detailed studies using other modalities which can detect depolarization and repolarization abnormalities, including ventricular late potentials and T wave alternans, are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We previously reported the therapeutic potential of Bifidobacterium breve A1 (B. breve A1) for preventing cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease model mice, which suggested that supplementation of the probiotics could be an effective therapeutic strategy for managing cognitive function in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). DESIGN AND SETTINGS We conducted an open-label, single-arm study to examine the effects of 24-week supplementation of B. breve A1 on elderly with MCI in Aki Orthopedics Rehabilitation Clinic in Japan. PARTICIPANTS 27 participants were screened by their Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores. MEASUREMENTS Cognitive function was assessed using MMSE and Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) at baseline and every 8 weeks. Mental condition and quality of life for gastrointestinal symptoms were measured using the Profile of Mood States 2nd Edition (POMS2), and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS). RESULTS Of the 27 participants enrolled, 19 completed the study. MMSE scores were significantly increased during the intervention by mixed model Dunnett's test and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests (+1.7, P < 0.01). POMS2 and GSRS scores were significantly improved during intervention when analyzed by Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. CONCLUSION The present study showed that oral supplementation of B. breve A1 in participants with MCI improved cognitive function, thus suggesting the potential of B. breve A1 for improving cognitive function and maintaining quality of life of the elderly. Further randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled studies are worth conducting to examine the beneficial effect of B. breve A1.

Abstract
We have built a setup called STAR that is capable of characterizing large and very low-loss optics. STAR stands for scattering, transmittance, absorption, and reflectance of the setup's measurement items using 1064 nm laser light, a wavelength in which we are currently interested. Thanks to the design concept in which most of the optical components are shared by each measurement, the system is reasonably compact and can be quickly switched from one measurement setting to another with only minor modification and without offloading the piece to be measured from the setup. The instrument is capable of scanning large areas of 500 mm diameter or larger and can be used for both coated and uncoated optics. It is described here in detail, and the results of some measurements are presented.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Omentectomy is performed widely for locally advanced gastric cancer to prevent disease recurrence. However, its clinical benefit is unknown.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study compared the outcome of gastrectomy with preservation of the omentum (GPO) and gastrectomy with resection of the omentum (GRO) among patients with cT3–T4 gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy between 2006 and 2012 in one of five participating institutions. A consensus conference identified 28 variables potentially associated with outcome after gastrectomy for the estimation of propensity scores, and propensity score matching (PSM) was undertaken to control for possible confounders. Postoperative surgical outcomes, overall survival and disease recurrence were compared between GPO and GRO.
Results
A total of 1758 patients were identified, of whom 526 remained after PSM, 263 in each group. Median follow-up was 4·9 (i.q.r. 3·1–5·9) years in the GRO group and 5·0 (2·5–6·8) years in the GPO group. The incidence of postoperative complications of Clavien–Dindo grade III or more was significantly higher in the GRO group (17·5 versus 10·3 per cent; P = 0·016). Five-year overall survival rates were 77·1 per cent in the GRO group and 79·4 per cent in the GPO group (P = 0·749). There were no significant differences in recurrence rate or pattern of recurrence between the groups.
Conclusion
Overall survival and disease recurrence were comparable in patients with cT3–4 gastric cancer who underwent GPO or GRO.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent guidelines have stated that reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the gold standard marker for identifying patients at risk for cardiac mortality. Although reduced LVEF identifies patients at an increased risk of cardiac arrest, sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs) occur considerably more often in patients with relatively preserved LVEF. Current guidelines on SCDs risk stratification do not adequately cover this general population pool. Heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate turbulence (HRT) are non-invasive electrocardiography (ECG)-based techniques capable of providing relevant information on the cardiac autonomic nervous modulation. Although a large body of evidence about autonomic nervous modulation markers has been reported, the usefulness of HRV and HRT parameters for risk stratification in such patients with relatively preserved LVEF has not yet been elucidated.
Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate HRV and HRT parameters for predicting cardiac mortality in patients with structural heart disease (SHD), including ischemic heart disease, dilated cardiomyopathy and valvular heart disease, who have mid-range left ventricular dysfunction (LVD).
Methods
We prospectively enrolled 229 patients (187 men, age 63 ± 13 years) with SHD who have mid-range LVD (LVEF > 40%). HRV and HRT parameters based on 24-hour ambulatory ECG recordings (Fukuda Denshi Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) were evaluated as follows; SDNN, triangular index, high and low frequency HRV, turbulence onset and slope. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to assess the association between these cardiac autonomic nervous modulation and mortality.
Results
During a mean follow-up of 21 ± 11 months, all-cause mortality was seen in 11 (4.8%) patients. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that reduced SDNN (<50ms), reduced triangular index (<20ms) and HRT category 2 were significantly associated with the primary endpoint (P < 0.05). When HRT category 2 combined with reduced SDNN, Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that this combination more strongly associates with the primary endpoint (hazard ratio =7.91, 95%CI, 1.82-34.2; P = 0.006).
Conclusion
Dual cardiac autonomic nervous modulation assessment which combined HRT and HRV could be a superior technique to predict mortality in patients with relatively preserved LVEF.

Abstract
Background
Recent guidelines have stated that reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the gold standard marker for identifying patients at risk for cardiac mortality. Although reduced LVEF identifies patients at an increased risk of cardiac arrest, sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs) occur considerably more often in patients with relatively preserved LVEF. Current guidelines on SCD risk stratification do not adequately cover this general population pool. Several noninvasive electrocardiographic (ECG) risk stratifiers that reflect depolarization abnormality, repolarization abnormality, and autonomic imbalance have been evaluated so far. With current therapeutic advances using new medicines or devices, an LVEF is often preserved in patients with structural heart disease (SHD). However, the usefulness of noninvasive ECG markers for risk stratification in such a patient population has not yet been elucidated.
Purpose
This study aimed to assess clinical indices and ECG markers based on 24-hour Holter ECG recordings for predicting cardiac mortality in patients with SHD who have left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) but relatively preserved LVEF.
Methods
In total, 1,829 patients were enrolled into the Japanese Multicenter Observational Prospective Study (JANIES study). In this study, we analyzed data of 719 patients (569 men, age 64±13 years) with SHD including mainly ischemic heart disease (65.8%). As ECG markers based on 24-hour Holter recordings, nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), ventricular late potentials, and heart rate turbulence (HRT) were assessed. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, and the secondary endpoint was fatal arrhythmic events.
Results
During a mean follow-up of 21±11 months, all-cause mortality was eventually observed in 39 patients (5.4%). Among those patients, 32 patients (82%) suffered from cardiac causes such as heart failure and arrhythmia. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that after adjustment for age and LVEF, documented NSVT (hazard ratio=2.82, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.38–5.76, P=0.005) and abnormal HRT (hazard ratio=2.31, 95% CI: 1.15–4.65, P=0.02) were significantly associated with the primary endpoint. These two ECG markers also had significant predictive values with the secondary endpoint. The combined assessment documented NSVT and abnormal HRT improved predictive accuracy.
Conclusion
This study demonstrated that combined assessment of documented NSVT and abnormal HRT based on 24-hour Holter ECG recordings are recommended for predicting future serious events in SHD patients who have relatively preserved LVEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The transdermal bisoprolol patch (TB) was designed to maintain a sustained concentration of bisoprolol in plasma by higher trough concentration than the oral bisoporolol fumarate administration (OB). It is unclear whether the TB is as effective in treating idiopathic premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) as the OB.
Purpose
We compared the efficacy between the TB and OB in treating idiopathic PVCs while considering their duration of action.
Methods
Among 198 patients with a PVC count of ≥3,000 beats/24 hours, 84 patients were divided into groups treated with TB 4mg (n=50) or OB 2.5mg (n=34). The PVCs were divided into positive heart rate (HR)-dependent PVCs (P-PVCs) and non-positive HR-dependent PVCs (NP-PVCs) based on the relationship between the hourly PVCs density and hourly mean HR. To evaluate the efficacy, PVC counts by 24-hour Holter electrocardiograms were measured at baseline and at 1 month after the initiation of the therapy.
Results
There were no significant between-group differences for the mean HR, PVC count, or type of PVCs. Both the TB (from 16,692±9,737 to 10,442±10,711 beats/24 hours, P<0.001) and OB (from 19,633±16,298 to 9,235±12,124 beats/24 hours, P<0.001) significantly decreased the total PVC count after the initiation of therapy, and a comparison between the two drugs showed no significant difference (P=0.46). In the P-PVC group, both the TB and OB significantly decreased the total PVC count (P<0.001, P=0.022 respectively), PVC count during the day-time (P<0.001, P=0.030 respectively), and PVC count during the night-time (P=0.0038, P=0.022 respectively). In contrast, in the NP-PVC group, neither the TB nor OB made any significantly change in the total PVC count (P=0.079, P=0.10 respectively), PVC count during the day-time (P=0.35, P=0.12 respectively), or PVC count during the night-time (P=0.11, P=0.12 respectively). The TB exhibited a significant reduction during each time period regarding the changes within 24-hours in the P-PVC count from baseline, while the OB did not significantly reduce the P-PVC count from baseline during each time period between 0 and 5 o'clock.
Conclusions
Compared with the OB, the TB could be used with the same efficacy for reducing the PVC count. The TB could be a more useful therapeutic agent for idiopathic P-PVCs during a 24-hour period than the OB.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT) is effective for preventing strokes in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Currently, there is controversy regarding the discontinuation of OATs in patients with ablation procedures to eliminate AF.
Aim
We investigated the incidence of major bleeding and ischemic strokes/systemic embolisms in low-risk patients that discontinued OATs after successful AF ablation procedures.
Methods
Of 330 consecutive patients that underwent AF ablation procedures and were prescribed one of the direct oral anticoagulants or warfarin, 207 AF patients (158 men, mean age 61±11 years) who discontinued OATs three months after the procedure were enrolled. The average CHADS2 and HAS-BLED scores were 1.0±0.9 and 1.2±1.0, respectively, which meant that most patients had a low risk for strokes.
Results
During follow-up, 31 patients (15%) had recurrences of AF. Those patients underwent a re-ablation procedure and then re-discontinued their OATs three months after the session. During a 60±13 months follow-up, major bleeding was observed in five patients (2.4%) and was associated with a higher HAS-BLED score (2.2±0.4 vs. 1.1±1.0, P=0.027). In contrast, none of the patients experienced ischemic strokes/systemic embolisms.
Conclusions
This prospective study demonstrated that in patients with successful ablation procedures and low risk scores for AF management, OATs could be discontinued three months after the procedure. Unnecessary continuation of OATs may increase the incidence of major bleeding during the follow-up.

Abstract
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential nutrients demonstrated to have health benefits, such as decreasing the risk of coronary heart disease, improving parameters associated with metabolic syndrome, and decreasing anxiety symptoms and depression risk. Previous intervention studies indicated the association between blood or tissue PUFA levels and the gut microbiota; however, the details remain incompletely elucidated. We conducted a cross-sectional study to examine the association between PUFAs and the gut microbiota among breast cancer survivors. Adults who had been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer more than one year ago and were not currently undergoing chemotherapy were enrolled. Capillary blood and faecal samples were obtained to assess the blood PUFA levels and gut microbiota compositions. The mean age (n=124) was 58.7 years, and 46% of the participants had a history of chemotherapy. Multiple regression analysis controlling for possible confounders indicated that an increased relative abundance of Actinobacteria was significantly associated with increased levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, beta=0.304, q<0.01). At the genus level, the abundance of Bifidobacterium was positively associated with the level of DHA (beta=0.307, q<0.01). No significant association between omega-6 PUFAs and the relative abundances of gut microbiota members was observed. In addition, analyses stratified by the history of chemotherapy indicated significant associations of PUFA levels with the abundance of some bacterial taxa, including the phylum Actinobacteria (DHA, beta=0.365, q<0.01) and Bacteroidetes (EPA, beta=-0.339, q<0.01) and the genus Bifidobacterium (DHA, beta=0.368, q<0.01) only among participants without a history of chemotherapy. These findings provide the first evidence of positive associations between the abundances of Bifidobacterium among the gut microbiota and the levels of omega-3 PUFAs in the blood. Further studies are required to gain additional insight into these associations in healthy subjects as well as into the causality of the relationship.

Abstract
Diamond has two crystallographically inequivalent sites in the unit cell. In doped diamond, dopant occupation in the two sites is expected to be equal. Nevertheless, preferential dopant occupation during growth under nonequilibrium conditions is of fundamental importance, for example, to enhance the properties of nitrogen-vacancy (N-V) centers; therefore, this is a promising candidate for a qubit. However, the lack of suitable experimental techniques has made it difficult to study the crystal- and chemical-site-resolved local structures of dopants. Here, we confirm the identity of two chemical sites with asymmetric dopant incorporation in the diamond structure, via the photoelectron holography (PEH) of heavily phosphorus (P)-doped diamond prepared by chemical vapor deposition. One is substitutionally incorporated P with preferential site occupations and the other can be attributed to a PV split vacancy complex with preferential orientation. The present study shows that PEH is a valuable technique to study the local structures around dopants with a resolution of crystallographically inequivalent but energetically equivalent sites/orientations. Such information provides strategies to improve the properties of dopant related-complexes in which alignment is crucial for sensing of magnetic field or quantum spin register using N-V centers in diamond.

Abstract
Equine multinodular pulmonary fibrosis (EMPF) is a recently described form of interstitial pneumonia associated with equine herpesvirus type 5 (EHV-5). This disease has been reported in North and South America, Europe and Oceania but not, to our knowledge, in horses in Japan. We diagnosed EMPF in two Thoroughbred horses in Japan on the basis of gross and histopathological findings. In both cases, significant gross lesions, restricted to the lungs, consisted of numerous firm and coalescing nodules widely distributed throughout the lung. The nodules were <3 cm in diameter and pale white to tan in colour. Microscopically, they showed severe interstitial fibrosis and infiltration of macrophages, neutrophils, lymphocytes and a few eosinophils. The residual alveoli were lined by cuboidal epithelial cells (type II pneumocytes) and filled with many macrophages, which rarely displayed oval eosinophilic to amphophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies. Polymerase chain reaction and sequence analyses identified the glycoprotein H gene of EHV-5, and in-situ hybridization detected EHV-5 in the alveolar macrophages in the lesions. In one case, electron microscopy revealed herpesvirus-like particles and EHV-5 was isolated from pulmonary lesions.

Abstract
We present a precision analysis of the ^{136}Xe two-neutrino ββ electron spectrum above 0.8 MeV, based on high-statistics data obtained with the KamLAND-Zen experiment. An improved formalism for the two-neutrino ββ rate allows us to measure the ratio of the leading and subleading 2νββ nuclear matrix elements (NMEs), ξ_{31}^{2ν}=-0.26_{-0.25}^{+0.31}. Theoretical predictions from the nuclear shell model and the majority of the quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) calculations are consistent with the experimental limit. However, part of the ξ_{31}^{2ν} range allowed by the QRPA is excluded by the present measurement at the 90% confidence level. Our analysis reveals that predicted ξ_{31}^{2ν} values are sensitive to the quenching of NMEs and the competing contributions from low- and high-energy states in the intermediate nucleus. Because these aspects are also at play in neutrinoless ββ decay, ξ_{31}^{2ν} provides new insights toward reliable neutrinoless ββ NMEs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The standard follow-up after surgery for breast cancer includes periodic interviews, clinical examinations, and mammography, but many institutions are conducting intensive follow-up including periodic computed tomography(CT), magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), and bone scintigraphy in the world, despite the lack of evidence to support this approach. While intensive follow-up may contribute to prolonged survival through earlier diagnosis and treatment of relapse, it has the disadvantages of high effort and costs placed on patients(pts) and healthcare workers, radiation exposure for imaging examinations, and overtreatment owing to false-positive results. Although past two randomized trials could not show significant difference in overall survival (OS), as imaging methods have remarkably improved, leading to the earlier detection of relapse, and medical therapies have remarkably improved in recent years, randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm whether intensive follow-up can really prolong survival sufficiently to offset these disadvantages in high-risk breast cancer pts.
Trial design: This study is a multi-institutional two-arm open label randomized controlled phase III trial being conducted with the participation of 42 hospitals belonging to the Breast Cancer Study Group of Japan Clinical Oncology Group. Eligible pts are randomized either to the intensive follow-up group or to the standard follow-up group; the former will undergo physical examination, bone scintigraphy, chest and abdominal CT, brain MRI/CT and frequent tumor markers, whereas the latter will undergo physical examination at the same frequency and tumor markers will be evaluated once a year. Mammography once a year is planned for both groups. This trial has been registered at the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry as UMIN000012429.
Eligibility criteria: High-risk breast cancer pts, who are expected to have recurrence rates of over 30% within 5 years after surgery. The main inclusion criteria are as follows: four or more axillary nodal metastases in the estrogen receptor (ER) positive pts without neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NC)., axillary node metastases in ER-negative pts without NC, axillary nodal metastases in ER-positive pts with NC, histologically proven residual invasive cancer in the breast or axilla in ER-negative with NC.
Specific Aims: The primary endpoint is OS, and secondary endpoints are disease-free survival, relapse-free survival, distant metastasis–free survival, OS in intrinsic subtypes, actual number of implemented examinations, compliance with pre-specified examinations, and adverse events.
Statistical methods: The primary endpoint will require a total of 538 events to be assessed in order to obtain a statistical power of 80% with a one-sided significance level of 0.05. Thus, the planned sample size to compare the two survival curves is set at 1500 pts, assuming an accrual time of 6 years and a follow-up time of 7 years according to the Schoenfeld and Richter's method.
Present accrual and target accrual: The trial was activated in November 2013. 773 pts have been enrolled by the end of June 2018.

Abstract
Although primary mediastinal germ cell tumors are found much more frequently among young males than among other people, we recently encountered a middle-aged woman with the disease. The patient was a 59-year-old woman who complained mainly of anterior chest pain. Chest CT scans revealed a nonhomogeneous mass measuring 7 x 7 cm in the anterior mediastinal area, accompanied by signs suggestive of mediastinal invasion of the tumor. Reduction surgery was performed. The pathologic diagnosis was mediastinal dysgerminoma. The patient received postoperative radiochemotherapy but died due to liver metastasis 11 months after surgery.

Abstract
An unusual case is described in which an abscess developed remote from a carcinoma of the rectum. A 52-year-old Japanese man developed a gluteal abscess six months after radiation therapy for unresectable carcinoma of the rectum. This case is presented with a review of the literature. Perforating carcinoma of the colon and rectum with abscess formation is best treated by preliminary total diversion colostomy and local drainage of the abscess. However, the mortality rate is still high.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) has been shown to be beneficial in node-positive breast cancer patients. However, the role of PMRT for patients receiving modern neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) are controversial. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of radiotherapy for breast cancer patients treated with NAC and mastectomy in the Japanese Breast Cancer Registry.
Methods:
Patients who received NAC and mastectomy for cT1-4 cN0-2 M0 breast cancer were included in this analysis. We assessed locoregional recurrence (LRR), distant disease-free survival (DDFS), and overall survival (OS) using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared them between the groups with and without PMRT by nodal status after NAC; ypN0, ypN1, and ypN2-3. We also performed multivariable cox regression analysis to evaluate the association of radiotherapy and these outcomes adjusting for baseline patient and cancer characteristics.
Results:
Of the 145,530 patients registered from 2004 to 2009, we identified 3,226 patients who met our inclusion criteria with the 5-year follow-up information including 1,299 ypN0, 1,036 ypN1, and 879 ypN2-3 cases. PMRT was performed in 185 patients (14.2%) with ypN0, 265 patients (25.6%) with ypN1, and 543 patients (61.8%) with ypN2-3. There was no difference in LRR, DDFS, and OS between the groups with and without radiotherapy for ypN1 patients who received NAC (P=0.72, P=0.29, and P=0.36, respectively). For patients with ypN2-3 breast cancer, radiotherapy significantly improved LRR (P<0.001), DDFS (P=0.01), and OS (P<0.001) on univariate analysis. No difference in LRR, DDFS, and OS was observed for ypN0 patients (P=0.81, P=0.15, and P=0.05, respectively). In multivariable analysis, the use of radiotherapy was independently associated with improved LRR [hazard ratio (HR): 0.608, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.452–0.818, P=0.001] and OS [HR: 0.685, 95% CI: 0.531–0.885, P=0.004] for ypN2-3 patients.

Radiotherapy was not associated with OS among patients with ypN0 [HR: 1.325, 95% CI: 0.841–2.087, P=0.224] and ypN1 [HR: 0.880, 95% CI: 0.599–1.293, P=0.514]. There was no significant difference in DDFS with the addition of radiotherapy for all ypN subgroups.
Conclusions:
The results from this nationwide database study of breast cancer patients following modern NAC showed that PMRT did not improve survival for patients with ypN1 and ypN0. Radiotherapy might be only beneficial for ypN2-3 breast cancer patients who received NAC and mastectomy in the modern era. Randomized clinical trials are needed to optimize the use of PMRT for breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
