Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The present study investigated the anticancer effects of intraperitoneally administered D-allose in in vivo models of head and neck cancer cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS To assess the direct effects of D-allose, its dynamics in blood and tumor tissues were examined. RESULTS D-allose was detected in blood and tumor tissues 10 min after its intraperitoneal administration and then gradually decreased. In vivo experiments revealed that radiation plus D-allose was more effective than either treatment alone. Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) mRNA over-expression was detected after the addition of D-allose in in vitro and in vivo experiments. D-allose inhibited cell growth, which was associated with decreases in glycolysis and intracellular ATP levels and the prolonged activation of AMPK. The phosphorylation of p38-MAPK was also observed early after the administration of D-allose and was followed by the activation of AMPK and up-regulated expression of TXNIP in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. CONCLUSION Systemically administered D-allose appears to exert antitumor effects. Further studies are needed to clarify the appropriate dosage and timing of the administration of D-allose and its combination with other metabolic agents.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) is selected as the primary treatment for eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS). Biologics or reoperation are sometimes required as secondary treatment after ESS. The present study examined the long-term postoperative courses of ECRS cases treated according to the current treatment concept, the frequency of secondary treatment, and its predictive factors. METHODS Ninety-four patients with ECRS who underwent ESS and received continuous management for 1-5 years were retrospectively investigated. Patient characteristics, long-term changes in endoscopic scores and the results of olfactory function tests, and secondary treatment were evaluated. RESULTS Five patients underwent reoperation and 11 received dupilumab during the follow-up period (35.9±19.2 months). Sixteen patients (17%) required secondary treatment due to the deterioration of sinus conditions. These patients were significantly younger, had higher comorbidity rates of allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma, and a higher preoperative CT score than those who did not require secondary treatment. Three months after surgery, CT scores, endoscopic scores (E-scores), and the self-administered odor questionnaire (SAOQ) were significantly worse in patients who required secondary treatment. A multivariate regression analysis identified age, preoperative CT scores, and 3-month E-scores as predictive factors for secondary treatment. Three-month E-scores showed higher sensitivity and specificity, and the odds ratio was 11.3 when the cut-off value was set at 10. CONCLUSION The early identification of patients for whom ESS may fail is important and additional treatments need to be provided at the appropriate timing where needed. Patients with the following factors need to be carefully followed up: a young age, high preoperative CT score, and high early postoperative E-score.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is known that eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis is often associated with adult-onset bronchial asthma, and undiagnosed bronchial asthma is also known to be included. The purpose of this study is to screen patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis using fractional exhaled nitric oxide, and to examine its usefulness in detecting undiagnosed bronchial asthma. METHODS We retrospectively examined the data of patients with eosinophilic chrnoic rhinosinusitis who underwent surgical treatment at Kagawa University from April 2015 to July 2022. Patients were included if they received examinations of fractional exhaled nitric oxide and spirometry before surgical treatment. RESULTS Of the 127 subjects, 52 had no history of treatment or diagnosis of bronchial asthma at the initial consultation. Among them, 15 patients who had high fractional exhaled nitric oxide value were diagnosed with bronchial asthma by the respiratory medicine department. Comorbid of bronchial asthma was eventually increased to 70.9% even though it was 59.1% at initial consultation. CONCLUSION A certain number of patients with eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis have undiagnosed bronchial asthma, which can be difficult to detect with basic examination alone therefore fractional exhaled nitric oxide is useful as an additional screening examination.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Palliative care patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) often experience dysphagia and airway trouble; thus, each patient requires a specific palliative care plan based on their prognostication. However, no established specific prognostic tool performed on the day of starting end-of-life care is available for such patients. We assessed the accuracy of Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) and palliative prognostic index (PPI) and their combination to establish a specified prognostic tool for patients with HNSCC in end-of-life setting. METHODS A retrospective clinical chart review was undertaken on patients with HNSCC in end-of life setting who were decided in Kagawa University Hospital and National Hospital Organization Shikoku Cancer Center between April 2011 and March 2019. The patients were divided into 2 categories according to GPS (0-1 and 2) and PPI (groups A-B and C). These were combined into 4 categories (PPI group A-B and GPS score 0-1: good; PPI group A-B and GPS score 2: intermediate; PPI group C and GPS score 2: poor; and PPI group C and GPS score 0-1: others). The survival curves were compared for the former 3 categories. RESULTS The median survival of the scores 0-1 and 2 on GPS were 114 (72-148) and 39 (25-52) days, respectively (P < .01). These of groups A-B and C on PPI were 79 (64-99) and 16 (9-29) days, respectively (P < .01). The median survival of the good, intermediate, and poor categories was 127 (73-149), 64 (44-80), and 15 (9-27) days, respectively (P < .01 among all categories). CONCLUSIONS In this study, the survival of terminally ill patients with HNSCC can be predicted by the GPS, PPI, and their combination with sufficient probability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The preservation or resection of the middle turbinate (MT) during endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) currently remains a matter of debate. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of submucosal middle turbinectomy (SMT) in ESS for eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS). METHODS The study included 38 ECRS patients (63 sides) who had undergone full-house ESS with SMT and 20 ECRS patients (40 sides) without SMT as a control group. Post-operative middle turbinate lateralization (MTL), synechia formation, and the patency grade of the olfactory cleft (OC) were assessed as the primary outcomes 3 months after surgery. CT scans and the T&T test were performed on the SMT group 3 months after surgery and assessed as secondary outcomes. RESULTS MTL and synechia formation rates were slightly higher in the control group than in the SMT group (20% vs. 7.9%, p=0.072, 17.5% vs. 9.5%, p=0.235), although neither reached statistically significance. The mean patency score of OC was significantly better in the SMT group than in the control group (0.5±0.6 vs. 1.3±0.7, <0.001). CT findings and T&T test scores showed good improvements after SMT combined with ESS. No major adverse events occurred due to SMT. CONCLUSION We demonstrated the potential advantages of SMT for ECRS patients. This method may avoid physiological functional loss through its preservation of the mucosa and structure of the MT.

Abstract
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study was the first to determine the effects of luseogliflozin in combination with a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) on 24-h glucose variability, assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). A total of 18 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes were randomized into two groups, in which patients first received luseogliflozin 2.5 mg once daily then placebo for 8 days each, or vice versa. Patients took luseogliflozin or placebo with a normal-carbohydrate diet (NCD) on day 7 and with the LCD on day 8. CGM was performed on both days. Luseogliflozin significantly reduced glucose exposure in terms of the area under the curve over the course of 24 h when administered with the NCD (difference vs placebo: -555.6 mg/dl·h [1 mg/dl = 0.0556 mmol/l]; p < 0.001) or with the LCD (-660.7 mg/dl·h; p < 0.001). No hypoglycaemia was observed over 24 h with either diet. Although glucose levels were lower with the LCD than with the NCD in the placebo treatment period, luseogliflozin with the LCD improved glycaemic control throughout the day to nearly the same extent as luseogliflozin with the NCD, without inducing hypoglycaemia.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of luseogliflozin on 24-h glucose levels, assessed by continuous glucose monitoring, and on pharmacodynamic variables measured throughout the day. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study, 37 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled with diet and exercise were randomized into two groups. Patients in each group first received luseogliflozin then placebo for 7 days each, or vice versa. After 7 days of treatment, the mean 24-h glucose level was significantly lower with luseogliflozin than with placebo [mean (95% confidence interval) 145.9 (134.4-157.5) mg/dl vs 168.5 (156.9-180.0) mg/dl; p < 0.001]. The proportion of time spent with glucose levels ≥70 to ≤180 mg/dl was significantly greater with luseogliflozin than with placebo [median (interquartile range) 83.2 (67.7-96.5)% vs 71.9 (46.9-83.3)%; p < 0.001] without inducing hypoglycaemia. The decrease in glucose levels was accompanied by reductions in serum insulin levels throughout the day.
