Abstract
L-asparaginase (L-Asp) is a useful antileukemic agent for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL); however, it often causes severe liver injury with marked fatty liver. Here, we present a case of L-Asp-induced fatty liver disease in a 21-year-old female patient with ALL. Serum cholinesterase levels, which are usually elevated in fatty liver, decrease at the onset of liver injury. After treatment with L-carnitine and vitamin B complex, the liver injury rapidly improved, resulting in the patient being able to continue subsequent chemotherapy.

Abstract
This prospective observational study aimed to assess the serological response and safety after the third booster shot of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines in 292 hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients. In our patients, mild systemic reactions were present in 10-40% and GVHD aggravation in 1.1%. Overall, clinically relevant response (>250 U/mL) was observed in 93.1% of allogeneic (allo)-HCT recipients and 70.6% of autologous (auto)-HCT recipients, respectively. Of note, detectable antibody response with any titer following the first two doses was a powerful predictor for adequate response after booster shot in both cohorts. For such patients, 98.8% of allo- and 92.3% of auto-HCT recipients obtained clinically relevant response after dose 3. In addition, continued systemic steroid and/or calcineurin inhibitors at the booster shot significantly correlated with serological response. These findings highlighted that booster vaccination efficiently improved serological response without safety concerns and thus recommended for the majority of HCT recipients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prognostic significance of IKZF1plus in adult Philadelphia-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ ALL) patients had remained to be clarified. METHODS We conducted a prospective, multicenter study, the ALL/MRD2008 trial, and investigated clinical significance of IKZF1plus . RESULTS From December 2008 to November 2013, 38 untreated Ph+ ALL patients were enrolled. At the end of the induction, 97.4% of patients (37/38) achieved complete hematological remission, with MRD-negativity of 48.6% (18/37). There were 19 patients with IKZF1plus , 13 with IKZF1 deletion alone (ΔIKZF1) and 4 with no IKZF1 deletions (no ΔIKZF1). The probability of 3-year DFS and OS in these Ph+ ALL patients were 50% (95% confidence interval (CI), 33 to 65) and 55% (95% CI, 38 to 69), respectively. There was no significant difference between IKZF1plus , ΔIKZF1, and no ΔIKZF1 in DFS (47%, 54%, 75% [p = 0.63]) or OS (47%, 62%, NA [p = 0.39]). CONCLUSIONS We revealed no relationship between IKZF1plus status and survival outcomes in Ph+ ALL patients treated with imatinib/dasatinib combination chemotherapy. Further investigations are warranted to clarify the prognostic significance of IKZF1plus in adult Ph+ ALL patients. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
HCT recipients reportedly have a high mortality rate after developing COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is generally useful to prevent COVID-19. However, its safety and efficacy among HCT recipients remain elusive. This large-scale prospective observational study including 543 HCT recipients with 37-months interval from transplant demonstrated high safety profiles of mRNA vaccine: only 0.9% of patients avoided the second dose due to adverse event or GVHD aggravation following the first dose. Regarding the efficacy, serological response with a clinically relevant titer (≥250 BAU/mL) was obtained in 397 (73.1%) patients. We classified the remaining 146 patients as impaired responders and compared the clinical and immunological parameters between two groups. In allogeneic HCT recipients, multivariable analysis revealed the risk factors for impaired serological response as follows: age (≥60, 1 points), HLA-mismatched donor (1 points), use of systemic steroids (1 points), absolute lymphocyte counts (<1000/μL, 1 points), absolute B-cell counts (<100/μL, 1 points), and serum IgG level (<500 mg/dL, 2 points). Notably, the incidence of impaired serological response increased along with the risk scores: patients with 0, 1-3, and 4-7 points were 3.9%, 21.8%, and 74.6%, respectively. In autologous HCT recipients, a shorter interval from transplant to vaccination was the only risk factor for impaired serological response. Our findings indicate that two doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine are safe but insufficient for a part of HCT recipients with higher risk scores. To improve this situation, we should consider additional treatment options, including booster vaccination and prophylactic neutralizing antibodies during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Other iatrogenic immunodeficiency-associated (OIIA) T- and natural killer (NK)-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (TNK-LPDs) are rare in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS We investigated the clinicopathological characteristics, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, genetic findings, therapeutic response, and prognostic factors in 21 RA patients with OIIA TNK-LPDs and compared these with those of 39 with OIIA B-cell LPDs (B-LPDs) and 22 with non-OIIA B-LPDs. RESULTS Immunohistologically, 11 patients (52%) showed CD4+ T-LPDs, and 7 had a T follicular helper (TFH) phenotype. The other nine patients (43%) showed CD8+ T-LPDs, and the remaining one (5%) had features of CD3+ CD4- CD8- nasal type TNK-cell lymphoma. CD30+, p53+, and CMYC+ atypical lymphocytes were identified in seven (33%), eight (38%), and five (24%) patients, respectively. In situ hybridisation detected EBV-encoded RNA (EBER) + large atypical lymphocytes in five patients (24%). Nine of 17 patients (53%) showed clonal peaks of TCRγ by polymerase chain reaction. Withdrawal of MTX and biologic drugs was effective in 12 patients (57%), and 8 (38%) received chemotherapies. Two patients with TFH+ or EBV+ CD4+ CD30+ large cell peripheral T-cell lymphoma, one with CD8+ systemic anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and two with systemic EBV+ CD8+ T-cell lymphoma of childhood showed a lethal progressive clinical course within 13 months. Moreover, > 500 U/L LDH, large atypical lymphocytes, expression of CD30, p53, and CMYC, and EBER+ atypical lymphocytes were significantly poor prognostic factors for overall survival (p < 0.05). Median interval from RA onset to OIIA TNK-LPDs was 72 months, which was shorter than 166 months in OIIA B-LPDs (p = 0.003). EBV+ atypical and reactive lymphocytes were frequently found in 15 patients with OIIA TNK-LPDs (71%), in 27 with OIIA B-LPDs (69%), and only in 3 with non-OIIA B-LPDs (14%). CONCLUSIONS OIIA TNK-LPDs occurred in early phase of RA, compared with OIIA B-LPDs, and occasionally showed a lethal progressive clinical course. Detection of OIIA TNK-LPD patients with poor prognostic factors is necessary. EBV infection in immunosuppressed patients due to persistent RA, MTX, and biologic drugs may play a role in forming the tumour microenvironment and lymphomagenesis of TNK-LPDs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE HBI-8000 (tucidinostat) is a novel, oral histone deacetylase inhibitor that selectivity inhibits Class I (histone deacetylase 1, 2, 3) and Class II (histone deacetylase 10) with direct anti-tumor activity through various mechanisms of action, including epigenetic reprogramming and immunomodulation. It has been approved in China for the treatment of relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma. METHODS This multicenter, prospective phase I dose-escalation trial evaluating the safety of twice weekly HBI-8000 was conducted in Japan. Eligible patients had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and no available standard therapy. The primary endpoint was maximum tolerated dose; secondary endpoints included anti-tumor activity, safety and pharmacokinetics. RESULTS Fourteen patients were enrolled in the study. Twelve patients were assessed for dose-limiting toxicity: six patients in the 30 mg BIW cohort had no dose-limiting toxicitys; two of six patients in the 40 mg BIW cohort had asymptomatic dose-limiting toxicitys. Treatment was well tolerated; adverse events were predominantly mild to moderate hematologic toxicities and were managed with dose modification and supportive care. Thirteen patients were included in the efficacy analysis. Objective response was seen in five of seven patients in the 40 mg BIW cohort; three partial responders had adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma. In the 30 mg BIW cohort, three of six patients had stable disease after the first cycle. CONCLUSIONS Treatment with HBI-8000 30 and 40 mg BIW were well-tolerated and safe, with hematological toxicities as expected from other studies of histone deacetylase inhibitor. The maximum tolerated dose and recommended dosage for phase II studies of HBI-8000 is 40 mg BIW. Preliminary efficacy results are encouraging.

Abstract
This multicenter, prospective phase IIb trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of tucidinostat (HBI‐8000) in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) adult T‐cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) was undertaken in Japan. Eligible patients had R/R ATLL and had failed standard of care treatment with chemotherapy and with mogamulizumab. Twenty‐three patients received tucidinostat 40 mg orally twice per week and were included in efficacy and safety analyses. The primary end‐point was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by an independent committee. The ORR was 30.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 13.2, 52.9]. Median progression‐free survival was 1.7 months (95% CI, 0.8, 7.4), median duration of response was 9.2 months (95% CI, 2.6, not reached), and median overall survival was 7.9 months (95% CI, 2.3, 18.0). All patients experienced adverse events (AEs), which were predominantly hematologic and gastrointestinal. Incidence of grade 3 or higher AEs was 78.3%; most were laboratory abnormalities (decreases in platelets, neutrophils, white blood cells, and hemoglobin). Tucidinostat was well tolerated with AEs that could be mostly managed with supportive care and dose modifications. Tucidinostat is a meaningful treatment option for R/R ATLL patients; further investigation is warranted.

Abstract
A 60-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with celiac disease (CeD) and treated with a gluten-free diet. For five years, she had a good clinical course. However, she complained of inappetence and nausea. Colonoscopy revealed ulcerative tumors in the terminal ileum. A histological examination of biopsy specimens from the ulcerative tumor showed diffuse infiltration of large atypical lymphocytes. Immunohistologically, the atypical lymphoid cells were positive for cluster of differentiation (CD) 10 and CD20. Many Epstein-Barr virus-encoded small RNA (EBER)-positive atypical lymphocytes were detected by in situ hybridization. This represents the first reported case of Epstein-Barr virus-positive intestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma complicated with CeD.

Abstract
Purpose The Japanese Society of Medical Oncology (JSMO) published a guideline (GL) on febrile neutropenia (FN) in 2017. This study aims to identify promoting factors and disincentives for complying with GL recommendations according to attributes of doctors providing chemotherapy. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted with SurveyMonkey™ for physician members of the Japanese Association of Supportive Care in Cancer and relevant academic organizations. Each question had four options (always do, do in more than half of patients, do in less than half, do not at all) and a free description form. Responses were analyzed according to the respondents’ attributes. Result Seven hundred eighty-eight out of retrieved 801 responses were available for analysis. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that the percentage of GL users was higher among women and Japanese Society of Clinical Oncology members. The overall compliance rate was higher among women, JSMO members, and board-certified medical oncologists. Internists emphasized the significance of collecting blood cultures at FN onset, and surgeons stressed the importance of G-CSF prophylaxis. Hematologists were less likely to adhere to recommendations on risk assessment of FN by the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer score and administration of gammaglobulin products. However, those are acceptable due to the characteristics of their practice. Eight recommendations had no difference in compliance rates between users and non-users, some of whose statements were ambiguous and discretionary. Conclusion Women were more likely to use and adhere to GL. The recommendations should be developed considering the characteristics of specialty and subspecialty and avoiding ambiguity and discretionary statements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic factors in nodal peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) with two or more T follicular helper markers (TFH+) are not adequately investigated. METHODS Immunohistologically, we selected 22 patients with TFH+ lymphoma (PTCL-TFH) in 47 of PTCL-not otherwise specified (NOS), and subclassified into large and small cell groups. We compared the two groups with 39 angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and seven follicular T-cell lymphoma (F-TCL) patients. Prognostic factors were analysed by overall survival in patients with three types of TFH+ PTCLs. RESULTS Thirteen large cell and nine small cell PTCL-TFH patients had more than two TFH markers including programmed cell death-1 (PD-1). Large cell PTCL-TFH showed frequent CMYC expression in 10 patients (77%), and four of 11 large cell group (36%) had somatic RHOA G17V gene mutation by Sanger sequencing. Large cell PTCL-TFH patients showed significantly worse prognosis than those of the small cell group, AITL, and F-TCL (p < 0.05). In TFH+ PTCLs, CMYC+ tumour cells, and combined PD-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) + tumour cells and intense reaction of PD-L1+ non-neoplastic cells (high PD-L1+ cell group) were significantly poor prognostic factors (p < 0.05). Combinations of CMYC+ or PD-1+ tumour cells and high PD-L1+ cell group indicated significantly poor prognosis (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Large cell PTCL-TFH indicated poor prognosis in TFH+ PTCLs. These data suggested that CMYC+ tumour cells and intense PD-L1+ cell reaction influenced tumour cell progression in TFH+ PTCLs, and PD-1+ tumour cell/intense PD-L1+ cell reactions may play a role in immune evasion.

Abstract
PURPOSE The Japanese Society of Medical Oncology published a guideline (GL) on febrile neutropenia (FN) in 2017. The study's purpose is to reveal how widely GL penetrated among physicians and surgeons providing chemotherapy. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted with SurveyMonkey™ for members of the Japanese Association of Supportive Care in Cancer and relevant academic organizations. Each question had four options (always do, do in more than half of patients, do in less than half, do not at all) and a free description form. Responses were analyzed with statistical text-analytics. RESULT A total of 800 responses were retrieved. Major respondents were experts with more than 10-year experience, physicians 54%, and surgeons 46%. Eighty-seven percent of respondents knew and used GL. Forty-eight percent assessed FN with Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) score "always" or "more than half." Eighty-one percent chose beta-lactam monotherapy as primary treatment in high-risk patients. Seventy-seven percent did oral antibacterial therapy in low-risk patients ambulatorily. Seventy-eight percent administered primary prophylactic G-CSF (ppG-CSF) in FN frequency ≥ 20% regimen. Fifty-nine percent did ppG-CSF for high-risk patients in FN frequency 10-20% regimen. Ninety-seven percent did not use ppG-CSF in FN frequency < 10% regimen. The medians of complete and complete plus partial compliance rates were 46.4% (range 7.0-92.8) and 77.8% (range 35.4-98.7). The complete compliance rates were less than 30% in seven recommendations, including the MASCC score assessment. CONCLUSION GL is estimated to be widely utilized, but some recommendations were not followed, presumably due to a mismatch with actual clinical practices in Japan.

Abstract
RATIONALE Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1)-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) are caused by HTLV-1, but the coexistence of both disorders is rare. The estimated incidence is approximately 3%. PATIENT CONCERNS A 54-year-old man was unable to stand up because of spastic paraparesis 1 month after the onset. He developed lymphadenopathy in the left supraclavicular fossa 5 months after the onset. The spastic paraplegia and sensory symptoms below the thoracic spinal cord level worsened. DIAGNOSES Both blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tests were positive for anti-HTLV-1 antibodies. The patient was diagnosed with rapidly progressive HAM/TSP. He was also diagnosed with lymphoma-type ATL by the biopsy specimen of the lymph node. CSF examination at the time of symptom exacerbation showed abnormal lymphocytes, suggesting central infiltration of the ATL in the central nervous system. INTERVENTIONS Methylprednisolone pulse therapy and oral prednisolone maintenance therapy were administered for rapidly progressive HAM/TSP. Intrathecal injection of methotrexate was administered for the suggested central infiltration of the ATL. OUTCOMES Methylprednisolone pulse therapy and intrathecal injection of methotrexate did not improve the patient's exacerbated symptoms. Five months later, clumsiness and mild muscle weakness of the fingers appeared, and magnetic resonance imaging showed swelling of the cervical spinal cord. Clonality analysis showed monoclonal proliferation only in the DNA of a lymph node lesion, but not in the CSF and peripheral blood cells. LESSONS This was a case of rapidly progressive HAM/TSP associated with lymphoma-type ATL that was refractory to steroids and chemotherapy. The pathogenesis was presumed to involve ATL cells in the brain and spinal cord because of the presence of abnormal lymphocytes in the CSF, but DNA analysis could not prove direct invasion. This case suggests that when we encounter cases with refractory HAM/TSP, it should be needed to suspect the presence of ATL in the background.

Abstract
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) has specific tumour cell characteristics, and these patients have worse outcomes than EBV-negative DLBCL patients. We compared 38 EBV+ DLBCL patients with 43 methotrexate-associated EBV+ B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders (MTX+/EBV+ BLPDs) and 30 non-germinal centre (GC) subtype DLBCL. Lymphoma cells of the EBV+ DLBCL group were positive for BCL2 in 17 patients (44.7%), CMYC in 23 patients (60.5%), and p53 in 33 patients (86.8%), which was significantly higher than in the MTX+/EBV+ BLPD group (P < 0.05), and were positive for CD30 in 29 patients (76.3%), compared with two in non-GC subtype DLBCL (6.7%) (P < 0.0001). Significantly more EBV+ DLBCL patients (n = 16, 42.1%) had programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)+ tumour cells than patients with non-GC subtype DLBCL (n = 5, 16.7%; P = 0.024), and PD-L1+ tumour cells were more common in advanced stages than in early stages (P = 0.048). Twenty-five EBV+ DLBCL patients (69.4%) had few reactive PD1+ tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), compared with 12 patients with MTX+/EBV+ BLPDs (37.5%) (P = 0.008). In the EBV+ DLBCL group, CD30, BCL2, CMYC, and p53 expression was not related to patient prognosis. Poor outcomes were associated with PD-L1+ tumour cells (P = 0.001) and low-reacting PD1+ TILs (P = 0.02), while their combination conferred a worse outcome (P < 0.0001). Immune evasion by PD-L1+ tumour cells and exhaustion of PD1+ TILs may occur in EBV+ DLBCL patients, and PD-L1/PD1 interactions may influence tumour progression and poor prognosis.

Abstract
Background Systemic Epstein-Barr virus+ T-cell lymphoma (sEBV+ TCL) occurs in childhood and young adults, and is exceptionally rare in older adults. Methods We investigated clinicopathological features in 16 patients of various ages with systemic EBV+ CD8+ T-lymphoproliferative diseases. Results Eight younger patients and four of eight older adults had sEBV+ CD8+ TCL, with invasion by medium-sized to/or large atypical lymphocytes primarily in bone marrow and lymph nodes, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), and progressive clinicopathological course. A further two patients demonstrated EBV+ node-based CD8+ large TCL without HLH, while the remaining two had the systemic form of chronic active EBV infection (sCAEBV) with CD8+ small lymphocytes. Past history of sCAEBV-like lesions was observed in one sEBV+ TCL patient (8.3%). Immunohistologically, in 12 sEBV+ TCL patients, atypical lymphocytes were positive for phosphate signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (66.7%), CMYC (83.3%), and p53 (75%). Strong reactions of programmed cell death-ligand (PD-L)1+ tumor or non-neoplastic cells were detected in nine sEBV+ TCL patients (75%). Clonal peaks of the T-cell receptor (TCR) γ gene were detected in eight sEBV+ TCL patients by polymerase chain reaction. Four younger patients in sEBV+ TCL (33.3%) are in remission with chemotherapies including etoposide, and three of the four underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Conclusion sEBV+ CD8+ TCL was observed in younger and older adults with less history of sCAEBV. HLH, tumor cell atypia, immunohistological findings, and progressive clinical course were characteristic of sEBV+ CD8+ TCL. Prompt chemotherapy and SCT induced tumor regression in sEBV+ CD8+ TCL patients.

Abstract
Bortezomib (BTZ) is known to enhance the mobilization of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) induced by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). However, the most effective time at which to administer BTZ to produce this enhancing effect remains debatable, and the precise mechanism underlying the effect of BTZ is poorly understood. We addressed these questions in this article by performing animal experiments. First, in agreement with previous studies, BTZ administration 12 hours before blood collection was most effective for HSPC mobilization; in contrast, BTZ administration 3 days before blood collection negatively affected HSPC harvesting. Next, in terms of the mechanism of action, G-CSF, but not BTZ, downregulated the expression of very late antigen-4 on HSPCs and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 on bone marrow (BM) stromal cells; however, intriguingly, both G-CSF and BTZ downregulated CXCL12 chemokine expression in BM. Notably, BTZ treatment also increased BM vascular permeability. These results suggest that the pro-mobilization effect of BTZ could involve the dissociation of HSPCs from BM stromal cells triggered by G-CSF, vascular hyperpermeability elicited by BTZ, and downregulation of CXCL12 concomitantly induced by G-CSF and BTZ.

Abstract
This study aimed to clarify the attitude of oncologists toward influenza vaccination and the current situation and issues regarding influenza vaccination for patients on chemotherapy in Japan. A web-based survey of medical oncologists certified by the Japanese Society of Medical Oncology was conducted between November 1 and December 31, 2019. Of the 1369 medical oncologists who were invited to participate, 415 (30.3%) responded to our survey. The questionnaire comprised 4 sections: "oncologist characteristics," "oncologist attitude toward influenza vaccines and the current status of influenza vaccination for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy," "incidence of influenza infection and associated treatment complications," and "treatment policy for influenza infection." In total, 153 (36.9%) physicians replied that they did not actively encourage influenza vaccination for patients undergoing chemotherapy. The primary reasons given were lack of evidence (48/153, 31.4%) and uncertainty of appropriate timing (46/153, 30.1%). There was diverse variation in the timing of vaccination and in the levels of encouragement based on the cancer location and medication type. Two hundred eighty-three (68.2%) oncologists reported that their cancer patients had experienced influenza infection while undergoing chemotherapy, and 169 (40.7%) responded that their patients had experienced an administration delay or discontinuation of medication because of influenza infection. Our surveillance revealed some oncologists considered evidence regarding the administration of influenza vaccine to cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (particularly the optimal timing and level of recommendation by cancer location and medication) to be lacking. It also exposed the adverse impact of influenza infection in cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal T/natural killer (NK)-cell lymphomas (TNKCL) are very rare. Endoscopic and clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal TNKCL have not been clearly demonstrated. In this study, we demonstrated the clinical characteristics of colorectal TNKCL. METHODS Endoscopic and clinicopathological characteristics were investigated in 27 patients with colorectal monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma (MEITL), adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), and other types of TNKCL. RESULTS Nine TNKCL patients (33%) were classified as MEITL, 11 (41%) as ATLL, and seven (26%) as other. Four patients with Epstein-Barr Virus-positive (EBV+) TNKCL, two indolent T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder and one anaplastic large cell lymphoma were included in the other group. Endoscopically, six MEITL (67%) and five ATLL (46%) showed diffuse-infiltrating type, in which the main endoscopic lesion was edematous mucosa in MEITL, while aphthoid erosion and edematous mucosa were typical in ATLL. Ulcerative type was identified in four other group patients (57%), including two EBV+ TNKCL. An increase in atypical T-intraepithelial lymphocytes (T-IELs) was noted in seven MEITL (88%) and six ATLL (60%) patients, but not in the other group (0%) patients. Five MEITL patients (56%) showed features of lymphocytic proctocolitis with increased CD8+ T-IELs. CONCLUSIONS MEITL and ATLL occasionally invaded the colorectum, and primary involving MEITL was observed. Diffuse infiltrating type was the characteristic endoscopic finding in colorectal MEITL and ATLL, while ulcerative type was observed in the other group. Features of lymphocytic proctocolitis may be prodromal findings of MEITL.

Abstract
The safety and feasibility of oral fluoroquinolone monotherapy in patients with low-risk febrile neutropenia (FN) were demonstrated in recent studies. Levofloxacin (LVFX) is a commonly prescribed antibiotic; however, evidence for its efficacy against FN is limited. Therefore, in this study, we retrospectively investigated the efficacy of LVFX against low-risk FN in patients with malignant lymphoma at our institution. Treatment success was defined as recovery from fever and neutropenia without alteration of the initial regimen. We recruited 29 patients between January 2013 and December 2018. The median age of the cohort was 64 (range: 21–87) years; 13 (44.8%) were aged over 65 years. In total, 22 patients had diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Therapy was successful in 24 (82.8%) patients, whereas 5 had treatment failure requiring a change from LVFX to intravenous broad-spectrum antibacterial agents. No deaths related to FN were observed. Two patients required FN-related chemotherapy dose reduction in subsequent cycles. Although this cohort comprised many elderly patients, our study confirmed the efficacy of LVFX in patients with low-risk FN. This may improve the treatment of low-risk FN and malignant lymphoma.

Abstract
The efficiency of upfront consolidation with high‐dose chemotherapy/autologous stem‐cell transplantation (HDCT/ASCT) for newly diagnosed high‐risk diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) may be influenced by induction chemotherapy. To select better induction chemotherapy regimens for HDCT/ASCT, a randomized phase II study was conducted in high‐risk DLBCL patients having an age‐adjusted International Prognostic Index (aaIPI) score of 2 or 3. As induction chemotherapy, 6 cycles of R‐CHOP‐14 (arm A) or 3 cycles of R‐CHOP‐14 followed by 3 cycles of CHASER (arm B) were planned, and patients who responded proceeded to HDCT with LEED and ASCT. The primary endpoint was 2‐y progression‐free survival (PFS), and the main secondary endpoints included overall survival, overall response rate, and adverse events (AEs). In total, 71 patients were enrolled. With a median follow‐up of 40.3 mo, 2‐y PFS in arms A and B were 68.6% (95% confidence interval [CI], 50.5%‐81.2%) and 66.7% (95% CI: 48.8%‐79.5%), respectively. Overall survival at 2 y in arms A and B was 74.3% (95% CI: 56.4%‐85.7%) and 83.3% (95% CI: 66.6%‐92.1%). Overall response rates were 82.9% in arm A and 69.4% in arm B. During induction chemotherapy, 45.7% and 75.0% of patients in arms A and B, respectively, had grade ≥ 3 non‐hematologic toxicities. One patient in arm A and 6 in arm B discontinued induction chemotherapy due to AEs. In conclusion, R‐CHOP‐14 showed higher 2‐y PFS and less toxicity compared with R‐CHOP‐14/CHASER in patients with high‐risk DLBCL, suggesting the former to be a more promising induction regimen for further investigations (UMIN‐CTR, UMIN000003823).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The D-index is defined as the area over the neutrophil curve during neutropenia. The CEDMIC trial confirmed the noninferiority of D-index-guided early antifungal therapy (DET) using micafungin to empirical antifungal therapy (EAT). In this study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of micafungin in these settings. METHODS From the CEDMIC trial, we extracted 67 and 113 patients who received micafungin in the DET and EAT groups, respectively. Treatment success was defined as the fulfilment of all components of a five-part composite end point. Fever resolution was evaluated at seven days after the completion of therapy. RESULTS The proportion of high-risk treatments including induction chemotherapy for acute leukemia and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was significantly higher in the DET group than in the EAT group (82.1% vs. 52.2%). The efficacy of micafungin was 68.7% (95%CI: 56.2-79.4) and 79.6% (71.0-86.6) in the DET and EAT groups, respectively. When we focused on high-risk treatments, the efficacy was 69.1% (55.2-80.9%) and 78.0% (65.3-87.7%), respectively (P = 0.30). There was no significant difference in any of the 5 components between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of micafungin in patients undergoing high-risk treatment was not strongly impaired in DET compared to that in EAT.

Abstract
Background Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (HVKp) infections have distinct clinical manifestations from classical K. pneumoniae infections. The hallmark of HVKp infections are liver abscess formation and metastatic infections. Due to the severe sequelae of these complications, method to identify patients at-risk of HVKp infections should be developed. Results A retrospective cohort study of 222 patients with K. pneumoniae bloodstream infections (BSIs) was performed. Patient demographics, clinical manifestations, and bacterial characteristics were investigated. Ten cases of liver abscesses were identified. Characteristics such as community-onset BSIs, hypermucoviscosity phenotype, and capsular serotype K1 were identified as risk factors for HVKp infections. A scoring system was developed based on the risk factors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the scoring system was 0.90. A score of ≥ 2 points provided sensitivity and specificity of 0.70 and 0.94, respectively. Conclusions Simple scoring system was developed for the diagnosis of HVKp infections. The system allows early identification of patients with K. pneumoniae BSIs in whom hypervirulent infections should be evaluated. Prospective evaluation is expected.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human T-lymphotropic virus-1 (HTLV-1)+ Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is difficult to differentiate from adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) with HL-like histology (HL-like ATLL). METHODS Cytological and immunohistological features, HTLV-1 proviral DNA integration, and rearrangements of the T-cell receptor (TCR) Cβ1 gene were examined in 11 HTLV-1+ patients with HL-like disease. RESULTS Six patients were classified as HTLV-1+ HL and five as HL-like ATLL in accordance with genetic findings of HTLV-1 proviral DNA integration and rearrangements of the TCR Cβ1 gene. Small ordinary looking lymphocytes with round nuclei were detected in the background of six patients with HTLV-1+ HL, which were immunohistochemically negative for CD25 and CC chemokine receptor (CCR)4 and had a low MIB1 labeling index (mean: 28.3%). In the HL-like ATLL specimens, small- and medium-sized atypical lymphocytes with indented and irregular-shaped nuclei were found, and were diffusely positive for CD25 and CCR4, with high MIB1 labeling (mean: 76%). Both groups had scattered CD30+ and CD15+ Hodgkin and Reed Sternberg (RS) giant cells, with or without CD20 expression and Epstein-Barr virus infection. The 50% overall survival period was significantly longer for the HTLV-1+ HL group (180 months) than for the HL-like ATLL group (7.8 months; P = .004). CONCLUSIONS HTLV-1+ HL showed typical small lymphoid cells with a low MIB1 labeling index in a background of Hodgkin and RS cells, with some scattered CD25+ and CCR4+ lymphocytes. In HTLV-1 endemic areas, distinguishing HTLV-1+ HL from HL-like ATLL is important because of their differing treatment strategies and prognoses.

Abstract
We conducted a randomised phase II study to determine the optimal dose and schedule of melphalan, prednisone, and bortezomib (MPB) (jRCTs031180097). Transplant‐ineligible untreated multiple myeloma patients were randomised to Arm A (twice weekly bortezomib in one six‐week cycle followed by eight five‐week cycles of four times once weekly bortezomib with melphalan and prednisolone on days 1–4) or Arm B (nine four‐week cycles of three times once weekly bortezomib with melphalan and prednisolone on days 1–4). The primary end‐point was complete response (CR) rate. Of 91 patients randomised to two arms, 88 were eligible. The median cumulative bortezomib doses were 45·8 and 35·1 mg/m2, CR rate was 18·6% [95% confidence interval (CI) 8·4–33·4] and 6·7% (95% CI 1·4–18·3), and the median progression‐free survival (PFS) was 2·5 and 1·4 years in Arms A and B [hazard ratio (HR) 1·93 (95% CI 1·09–3·42)], respectively. Frequent grade ≥3 haematologic toxicities in Arms A and B were neutropenia (64·4% vs. 28·3%) and thrombocytopenia (35·6% vs. 10·9%). Grade 2/3 peripheral neuropathy was observed in 24·4/2·2% in Arm A and 8·7/0% in Arm B. In conclusion, Arm A was the more promising regimen, suggesting that the twice weekly schedule of bortezomib in the first cycle and higher cumulative dose of both bortezomib and melphalan influences the efficacy of modified MPB.

Abstract
PURPOSE Empiric antifungal therapy (EAT) is recommended for persistent febrile neutropenia (FN), but in most patients, it is associated with overtreatment. The D-index, calculated as the area surrounded by the neutrophil curve and the horizontal line at a neutrophil count of 500/μL, reflects both the duration and depth of neutropenia and enables real-time monitoring of the risk of invasive fungal infection in individual patients at no cost. We investigated a novel approach for patients with persistent FN called D-index-guided early antifungal therapy (DET), in which antifungal treatment is postponed until a D-index reaches 5,500 or the detection of positive serum or imaging tests, and compared it with EAT in this multicenter open-label noninferiority randomized controlled trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS We randomly assigned 423 patients who underwent chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies to the EAT or DET group. The prophylactic use of antifungal agents other than polyenes, echinocandins, or voriconazole was allowed. Micafungin at 150 mg per day was administered as EAT or DET. RESULTS In an intent-to-treat analysis of 413 patients, the incidence of probable/proven invasive fungal infection was 2.5% in the EAT group and 0.5% in the DET group, which fulfilled the predetermined criterion of noninferiority of the DET group (-2.0%; 90% CI, -4.0% to 0.1%). The survival rate was 98.0% versus 98.6% at day 42 and 96.4% versus 96.2% at day 84. The use of micafungin was significantly reduced in the DET group (60.2% v 32.5%; P < .001). CONCLUSION A novel strategy, DET, decreased the use and cost of antifungal agents without increasing invasive fungal infections and can be a reasonable alternative to empiric or preemptive antifungal therapy.

Abstract
Purpose Febrile neutropenia (FN) is associated with infection-related mortality and a reduction of relative dose intensity during chemotherapy of malignant lymphoma. To prevent deaths and recover the attenuated efficacy of chemotherapies caused by FN, guidelines for the management of FN are published. The aim of this study is to clarify the degree to how much patients understand the FN. Methods An internet-based survey was employed to investigate the awareness of FN in Japanese patients who had received chemotherapies for malignant lymphoma. Results A total of 105 subjects were enrolled, of whom 64 (61.0%) received ambulatory treatment and 41 (39.0%) received primarily inpatient services. Sixty-four (61.0%) remembered receiving explanations of FN and 61 (95.3%) understood FN very well or almost well. Respondents who reported understanding received explanations from multiple medical staff that were similar to those from single medical staff. A total of 31 (29.5%) experienced FN and 17 of them developed FN at home. Only 8 (47.1%) visited or made contact with their hospitals within 3 h after onset at home. Conclusions Explanatory procedures need to be addressed, since subjects’ levels of understanding were not proportionate to the number of elucidators. Although medical professionals made preliminary explanations, in fact, no more than half of those respondents who developed FN at home had made contact to their hospitals immediately. In conclusion, these results suggest that medical professionals should make more effort to lead patients to an understanding of the proper correspondences in case of FN onset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Although neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists are approved chemotherapy drugs in Japan, no nationwide surveys have been performed to validate chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) guidelines in clinical practice. This study evaluated CINV in patients with haematological malignancies starting first-time chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A nationwide CINV survey on patients with haematological malignancies was conducted at 118 institutions. Patients undergoing moderately emetic chemotherapy (n=17) and highly emetic chemotherapy (HEC; n=180) were compared. RESULTS Forty-one patients undergoing HEC received triple antiemetics. Female gender and young age were risk factors for early-phase nausea, while female gender remained a risk factor for late-phase nausea and vomiting. Among 125 patients receiving CHOP (doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone)-like regimens, complete response and complete control were increased in patients receiving triple antiemetics, compared to those with double antiemetics. CONCLUSION Guideline compliance was very low. Although not statistically significant, there was a trend for reduced CINV and improved disease control for triple versus double antiemetics, suggesting that triple antiemetics should be considered for HEC, especially in young female patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma receiving CHOP-like regimens.

Abstract
Objective Chest physicians often encounter patients with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features. However, there have so far been few reports of patients presenting with concurrent immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and interstitial pneumonia. The prevalence of interstitial pneumonia in patients with ITP is less well known. Methods We surveyed patients diagnosed with ITP and interstitial pneumonia at the departments of Hematology and Respiratory Medicine to evaluate the association between these diseases. Results Among 73 patients with ITP, 7 patients (9.6%) presented with interstitial pneumonia, including 4 patients (2%) who developed ITP in the course of 204 patients with interstitial pneumonia. All 7 patients were men. Four patients were positive for some autoantibodies. Two patients had autoimmune diseases other than ITP. There were significant differences in age and gender between the ITP patients with and without interstitial pneumonia. Conclusion The present study suggests the possibility that the development of ITP, other autoimmune diseases, and interstitial pneumonia may be mutually associated. Advanced age and male sex in ITP may be significant predisposing factors for interstitial pneumonia. Clinicians should be aware of the potential for the coexistence of these diseases.

Abstract
FF-10501 is a novel inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). Clinical trials of FF-10501 for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are currently being conducted in the United States. Although it has been shown that FF-10501 induces apoptosis in hematological malignant cells, the intracellular mechanisms of this effect have not been characterized. We conducted an in vitro study to elucidate the mechanisms of FF-10501-induced cell death using 12 hematological malignant cell lines derived from myeloid and lymphoid malignancies. FF-10501 suppressed the growth of each cell line in a dose-dependent manner. However, the clinically relevant dose (40 μM) of FF-10501 induced cell death in three cell lines (MOLM-13, OCI-AML3, and MOLT-3). Investigation of the cell death mechanism suggested that FF-10501 induces both apoptotic and necrotic cell death. FF-10501-induced apoptosis was mediated by caspase-8 activation followed by activation of the mitochondrial pathway in MOLM-13 and MOLT-3 cells. FF-10501 induced necrotic cell death via endoplasmic reticulum stress in OCI-AML3 cells. The present study is the first to identify intracellular pathways involved in FF-10501-induced cell death.

Abstract
Background Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) frequently involves the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, and patients mainly show an aggressive clinical course despite of intensive cytotoxic treatments. We investigated the characteristic clinicopathological and endoscopic features of GI ATLL. Methods This was a retrospective analysis of 61 GI tract lesions in 54 ATLL patients. Results Thirty-six (67%) patients were classified as having lymphoma-type ATLL and 18 (33%) patients were classified as having acute-type with leukemic changes. Examined ATLL lesions in the stomach and intestine (small intestine and colorectum) were 40 (66%) and 21 (34%), respectively. Gastric ATLL lesions were frequently found in the lymphoma-type (29/38; 76%) compared with the acute-type lesions (11/23; 48%; P=0.023). Intestinal ATLL lesions were frequent in the acute-type (12/23; 52%) compared with the lymphoma-type lesions (9/38; 24%; P=0.023). Endoscopically, tumor-forming type lesions were significantly more frequent in lymphoma-type ATLL lesions (29/38 lesions; 76%) compared with acute-type lesions (10/23; 44%; P=0.0096). The superficial spreading-type was significantly more frequent in acute-type lesions (12/23 lesions; 52%) compared with lymphoma-type lesions (3/38; 8%; P=0.0003). Additionally, gastropathy-, enteropathy-, or proctocolitis-like lesions were distinct features, mainly in the acute type (9/23 lesions; 39%). Twenty three of 39 tumor-forming-type lesions (59%) were significantly composed of pleomorphic or anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and 13 of 15 superficial spreading-type lesions (87%) were significantly composed of pleomorphic medium-sized cells (P=0.007, in each). Six patients (11%) who were estimated as having primary GI ATLL based on restricted clinical stages, showed a significantly better overall survival (OS) compared with the 48 advanced-stage patients (P=0.017). Twenty patients with solitary tumor-forming-type lesions showed a significantly better OS than 17 patients with the multiple tumor-forming-type (P=0.015) and five with the mucosal-thickening-type lesions (P=0.04). Twenty-six patients with pleomorphic or anaplastic large cell ATLL showed a significantly better prognosis compared with 28 patients with pleomorphic medium-sized ATLL (P=0.034). Conclusions ATLL predominantly involves the stomach. Leukemic behavior of ATLL had a large influence on the tumor location and endoscopic features of GI tract lesions. Gastropathy-, enteropathy-, and proctocolitis-like lesions showed additional distinct characteristics. Primary GI ATLL in the early clinical stages, solitary tumor-forming-type lesions and large tumor cells showed better prognostic factors than other factors, respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated whether minimal residual disease (MRD) status in adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is useful for decision on clinical indications for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS We prospectively monitored MRD after induction and consolidation therapy in adult patients with Ph-negative ALL. RESULTS Among 103 adult ALL patients enrolled, 59 were Ph-negative, and MRD status was assessed in 51 patients. The probability of 3-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was 69% (95%CI 54-80) and 50% (95%CI 36-63), respectively. Patients who were MRD-negative after induction therapy (n = 15) had a significantly better 3-year DFS compared with those who were MRD-positive (n = 30; 73% vs 41%, P = 0.018). Patients who were MRD-positive after induction but became MRD-negative after consolidation chemotherapy C in the first course (n = 11) showed a significantly worse 3-year DFS compared with patients who were MRD-negative after induction chemotherapy A in the first course (45% vs 73%, P = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that DFS of about 70% can be expected in MRD-negative patients after induction therapy, and the patients did not benefit from HSCT in 1CR. This study was registered with the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR), number UMIN000001519.

Abstract
Combined oral cyclophosphamide and capecitabine (XC) chemotherapy is used for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. We report herein two MBC patients who developed severe hemorrhagic cystitis after XC therapy. Case 1: A 67-year-old woman with MBC had received XC therapy for 2.5 years. After a sudden onset of lower abdominal pain and gross hematuria, cystoscopy revealed a urinary bladder mucosa showing diffuse dilation of the capillaries and a large blood clot. A total dose of 60.8 g cyclophosphamide had been given and the XC regimen was discontinued immediately. The patient experienced frequent episodes of bladder tamponade over 18 months and underwent continuous bladder irrigation and cystoscopic fulguration. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) provided only temporary relief and the patient subsequently developed hemorrhagic shock. A bilateral ureterostomy was eventually performed. Case 2: A 65-year-old woman with MBC was given XC for 3 years, but this was discontinued after she developed new lung lesions. The patient was given a total dose of 78.4 g of cyclophosphamide. A month later, the patient complained of intermittent gross hematuria, which progressed to persistent macroscopic hematuria for 1 week. She underwent continuous bladder irrigation with saline, without an improvement in her bladder tamponade. Subsequently, the bleeding ceased completely after HBOT. Some MBC cases can be controlled for a long time with XC therapy. For those cases, we need to realize that severe hemorrhagic cystitis may occur. Even at a low dose, requires testing periodically for occult blood in the urine to detect the early stages of cystitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute and lymphoma type adult T-cell leukaemia/lymphoma (ATLL) patients show an aggressive clinical course. While some clinical signs indicate good prognosis, definitive cytohistological prognostic factors have yet to be described. METHODS We classified 65 ATLL patients into three groups by tumour cell size and nuclear pleomorphism on fine-needle aspiration and tumour touch smear samples. Semi-quantitative analysis of background small lymphocytes, reactive CD20-positive B cells and CD8-positive T cells was performed. RESULTS Thirty-one patients had pleomorphic lymphoma with predominantly medium-sized cells and coarse granular nuclei. Another 24 patients showed pleomorphic large cell lymphoma with stippled chromatin. The remaining 10 demonstrated monomorphic large lymphoma cells with fine granular chromatin. Patients with pleomorphic lymphoma with medium-sized cells showed significantly higher serum lactate dehydrogenase and lower CD30 and C-MYC expression in lymphoma cells than the other two groups (P = .0216, P < 0.01, respectively). Patients with pleomorphic medium-sized ATLL had few usual small lymphocytes observed on routine morphological examination and showed less concurrent detection of CD20-positive B cells and CD8-positive T cells, both of which were lower than in the other two groups (P = .006, P = .019, respectively). Furthermore, ATLL patients with predominantly medium-sized lymphocytes exhibited a worse prognosis than patients with pleomorphic large cells (P = .0197). Background small lymphocytes and concurrent detection of CD20-positive B cells and CD8-positive T cells may thus be good prognostic factors (P = .011, P = .021, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Morphological features, size of neoplastic cells and background non-neoplastic lymphocyte (B cells and CD8-positive T cells) volume appear to influence the prognosis of patients with aggressive-type ATLL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Japan Study Group for Cell Therapy and Transplantation (JSCT) organized a phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a treatment protocol (JSCT-MM12) for multiple myeloma (MM) patients who were previously untreated and transplantation-eligible. Since bortezomib-based therapy is known to be effective for MM, the protocol is intensified more than the previous protocol (JSCT-MM10) and comprised the subsequent treatments: bortezomib + cyclophosphamide + dexamethasone (VCD) induction; bortezomib + high-dose-melphalan (B-HDM) conditioning with autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT); bortezomib + thalidomide + dexamethasone (VTD) consolidation; and lenalidomide (LEN) maintenance. METHODS Sixty-four symptomatic patients aged between 20 and 65 years were enrolled for treatment and received three cycles of VCD, followed by cyclophosphamide administration for autologous stem cell harvest and B-HDM/ASCT, and subsequently two cycles of VTD, after that LEN for 1 year. RESULTS Complete response (CR)/stringent CR (sCR) rates for induction, ASCT, consolidation, and maintenance therapies were 20, 39, 52, and 56%, respectively. The grade 3/4 toxicities (≥ 10%) with VCD treatment included neutropenia (27%), anemia (19%), and thrombocytopenia (11%). There was no treatment-related mortality. After median follow-up of 41 months, estimated 3-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were 64% and 88%, respectively. The high-risk group revealed lower CR/sCR, PFS, and OS than the standard-risk group. CONCLUSIONS The study revealed that the treatment protocol consisting of VCD induction, B-HDM/ASCT followed by VTD consolidation, and LEN maintenance could produce highly beneficial responses and favorable tolerability in newly diagnosed MM. However, future study is required for improving treatment in the high-risk group.

Abstract
We herein report a case of systemic phaeohyphomycosis by Exophiala dermatitidis (E. dermatitidis) with chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The patient had been taking oral corticosteroids for years to control the GVHD. Yeast-like fungi were identified in a blood culture, so treatment with micafungin (150 mg/day) was begun, with no improvement. The patient passed away on hospital Day 12. A sequence analysis of rRNA revealed the isolate to be E. dermatitidis. This report brings attention to an emerging mycosis of community-acquired Exophiala species infection in the very-late phase after allogenic HSCT in patients with chronic GVHD.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) with high-grade transformation (AdCC-HGT) is rare, and AdCC-HGT with spindle cell component is particularly rare. The patient was a 65-year-old man with a 5 cm sized swelling of the right submandibular gland. Submandibular sialoadenectomy was performed. Histopathological findings mainly showed conventional AdCC, and minorly showed two other components: (1) the pleomorphic component, a proliferation of atypical pleomorphic epithelial cells forming solid or small clusters and accompanied by necrosis; (2) the spindle cell component, containing atypical spindle cells invading the stroma. Postoperative chemoradiotherapy was performed. Multiple right lung nodular lesions were found on the contrast-enhanced chest CT one month after the surgery. Thoracoscopic pulmonary resection was performed. The lung tumors exhibited a proliferation of atypical spindle cells, accompanied by necrosis. We considered that the spindle cell component of the AdCC-HGT of the submandibular gland developed lung metastases. The patient died seven months after submandibular sialoadenectomy due to respiratory failure. Although rare, our case highlights the importance of recognising spindle cell components in conventional AdCC; even if the area is small, these high-grade transformation areas can metastasise and become prognostic factors.

Abstract
Background The optimal timing of intervention to obtain significant effects with regard to reducing the consumption of antimicrobial agents or antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in facilities that lack the manpower to maintain an antimicrobial stewardship team (AST) is not well-known. Methods An observational retrospective study was performed at Fukuoka University Hospital between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2016 to evaluate the optimal timing of intervention on appropriate antimicrobial therapy for specific antimicrobial agents, including broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents (piperacillin–tazobactam, carbapenems, fluoroquinolones) and anti-MRSA (vancomycin, teicoplanin, daptomycin, and linezolid) agents. In period 1, interventions were performed for patients using specific antimicrobial agents for >14 days. In period 2, interventions were performed for patients using anti-MRSA agents, and in period 3, interventions were performed for patients using any specific antimicrobial agents, regardless of the days of use, on a weekly basis. The effects on antimicrobial use, the antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, and the clinical outcomes among the three periods were compared. Results The AUDs of piperacillin–tazobactam and carbapenems decreased significantly (10.8 → 9.2 and 15.7 → 14.2; period 2 vs. period 3, P < 0.05). The rates of piperacillin–tazobactam, meropenem and levofloxacin resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates decreased from 13.8%, 16.2%, 11.9% in period 1 to 10.4%, 8.7%, 6.5% in period 3, respectively. The annual costs of these antimicrobials decreased according to the period: period 1, US$ 1,080,000; period 2, US$ 944,000; and period 3, US$ 763,000 (period 3 vs. period 1, P <0.01). No recurrence was observed within 7 days after intervention and the mortality rate and length of stay did not change to a statistically significant extent in any of the study periods. Conclusion When interventions were performed once a week by an ASP team, accelerating the timing of intervention from patients with >14 days of use to all patients treated with the specific antimicrobial agents was significantly more effective for reducing the consumption of antimicrobials leading to reduction of the related costs and antimicrobial-resistant P. aeruginosa without compromising the patient outcomes.

Abstract
In this era of genome medicine, the sub-classification of myeloid neoplasms, including myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), is now supported by genetic testing in selected cases. However, as the initial suspicion and primary diagnosis of the disease still largely relies on morphological features and numbers of hematopoietic cells, the establishment of a uniform diagnostic basis, especially for cell morphology, is essential. In this study, we collected nearly 100,000 hematopoietic cell images from 499 peripheral blood smear specimens from patients with MDS and used these to evaluate the standardization of morphological classification by medical technologists. The observers in this study ranged between two to eleven for each image, and the images were classified according to MDS criteria through a web-based system. We found considerable inter-observer variance in the assessment of dysplastic features. Observers did not recognize cytoplasmic hypo-granularity unless almost all granules in neutrophils were absent. Pseudo Pelger-Huët anomalies were also often overlooked, except for cells with a very typical "pince-nez" appearance. Taken together, this study suggests a requirement for further standardization in terms of morphological cell classification, and a need for the development of automatic cell classification-supporting devices for the accurate diagnosis of MDS.

Abstract
T-cell receptor (TCR) gene therapy is a promising next-generation antitumor treatment. We previously developed a single-T-cell analysis protocol that allows the rapid capture of paired TCRα and β cDNAs. Here, we applied the protocol to analyze the TCR repertoire of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) of various cancer patients. We found clonally expanded populations of T cells that expressed the same clonotypic TCR in 50% to 70% of CD137+CD8+ TILs, indicating that they responded to certain antigens in the tumor environment. To assess the tumor reactivity of the TCRs derived from those clonally expanded TILs in detail, we then analyzed the CD137+CD8+ TILs from the tumor of B16F10 melanoma cells in six C57BL/6 mice and analyzed their TCR repertoire. We also found clonally expanded T cells in 60% to 90% of CD137+CD8+ TILs. When the tumor reactivity of dominant clonotypic TCRs in each mouse was analyzed, 9 of 13 TCRs induced the secretion of IFNγ in response to, and showed killing of, B16F10 cells in vitro, and 2 of them showed strong antitumor activity in vivo Concerning their antigen specificity, 7 of them reacted to p15E peptide of endogenous murine leukemia virus-derived envelope glycoprotein 70, and the rest reacted to tumor-associated antigens expressed on EL4 lymphoma as well as B16 melanoma cells. These results show that our strategy enables us to simply and rapidly obtain the tumor-specific TCR repertoire with high fidelity in an antigen- and MHC haplotype-independent manner from primary TILs.

Abstract
Along with the aging society in Japan, the number ofelderly cancer patients is increasing, and hematological malignancy is no exception. Treatment ofhematological malignancy is mainly chemotherapy and furthermore it is necessary to keep its dose intensity. In the elderly, adverse events may be strong due to deterioration oforgan function, comorbidity, etc., and it is difficult for individual differences to decide chemotherapy regimen and dose. Geriatric assessment(GA)used in the field of geriatric medicine is reported to be useful for risk assessment of chemotherapy. The usefulness of GA is also shown in hematological malignancy. In non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, attempts have been made to determine the treatment method by stratifying the risk using the results of GA.

Abstract
Background Ocular candidiasis is a major complication of candidemia; however, many remains unknown for the incidence, risk factors, and outcome of eye involvement. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and obtained information related to fungal infection and its management, and visual outcome at Fukuoka University Hospital from 2000 to 2016. Results Of 143 patients with candidemia for whom an ophthalmology consult was requested, 26 had findings consistent with the diagnosis of ocular candidiasis. Patients with ocular candidiasis were mostly infected with Candida albicans (n = 20), followed by C. glabrata (n = 4), and C. tropicalis (n = 2). In contrast, only one patient infected with C. parapsilosis had ocular involvement although the number of the patients with C. parapsilosis candidemia was second the most among candidemia. No difference was seen for the β-d-glucan in patients with or without ocular candidiasis (128.6 vs. 106.1, P = 0.654). All of the isolates other than C. glabrata were susceptible to fluconazole. In all of 23 patients with existing central venous cathers, CVCs were removed after the diagnosis of candidemia. Four-week mortality rate in patients with ocular candidiasis was 16.7% (three of 18 patients) which was not significantly different from that in patients without ocular manifestations. All treated patients were confirmed for clearance of candidemia, received systemic antifungals, and improved for visual outcome or remained stable, and no patients complicated visual loss without surgical treatment. Therapy with micafungin or caspofungin followed by fluconazole (12 patients) was successful in all patients. Conclusion Ocular involvement occurred in 18% of patients with candidemia, and treatment with echinocandins followed by fluconazole was successful in most cases with follow-up. Disclosures T.

Abstract
Background Evidence of eribulin therapy for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in clinical practice is not well documented. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the safety and efficacy of eribulin in 29 MBC patients from 2011 to 2016 at Fukuoka University Hospital. Results The median patient age, number of courses, total dose, and relative dose intensity were as follows: 65 years, five courses, 8.6 mg/m2, and 75%, respectively. One patient achieved a complete response, (CR) six a partial response (PR), eight stable disease (SD) and 14 patients exhibited progressive disease. The objective response rate (ORR: CR + PR) was 24.1%, and the clinical benefit rate (CBR: CR + PR + SD) was 51.7%. The median progression‐free survival was 90 days (95% confidence interval [CI] 67–126) and median overall survival was 264 days (95% CI 198–357). In patients who previously received 2–4 regimens, the ORR was 28.5% and the CBR was 57.1%. In patients who received 5–12 regimens, the ORR was 20% and the CBR was 45%. Chemotherapy was administered to 20 patients (69%) after eribulin administration, and the median overall survival rate of cases that achieved greater than a PR was 1088 days. The most frequent treatment‐related grade 3/4 adverse events were neutropenia (55.2%), and febrile neutropenia (20.1%). Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy occurred in 13.8% of patients, but was not exacerbated even if present before treatment. Conclusion Eribulin is effective for MBC patients who have received multiple chemotherapies. Neutropenia and febrile neutropenia may develop after heavy prior therapy.

Abstract
Albumin-bound paclitaxel(nab-PTX)-associated neuropathy decreases the quality of life of cancer patients and leads to dose modification, discontinuation of chemotherapy, and occasionally dose-limiting toxicity. In the present case study, a 92- year-old female patient with peritoneal cancer of carcinomatous peritonitis and carcinomatous ascites was treated with carboplatin plus nab-PTX every 4 weeks as first-line chemotherapy, and a good response was achieved following 4 cycles of this regimen. However, the patient developed Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy and stopped the therapy. As a result, the peripheral neuropathy gradually improved. After 1 year, ascites appeared, and tumor marker(CA125)levels increased. We tried an 8-h infusion of nab-PTX to avoid peripheralneuropathy. After 4 cycles, a positive response was achieved without exacerbation of the peripheralneuropathy. Administering nab-PTX over shorter periods of time has generally led to increased peripheral neuropathy. The severity of peripheralneuropathy can be reduced with a longer infusion time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: We constructed a genetically modified adenovirus vector incorporating an IgG Fc-binding motif from staphylococcal protein A, Z33 (Adv-FZ33). Adv-FZ33 allows an antibody to redirect the vector to a target molecule on the cell surface. We attempted to search for target antigen candidates and antibodies that allowed highly selective gene transduction into malignant tumors. METHODS: Hybridoma libraries producing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were screened that increased transduction efficiency in cancer cell lines after cross-linking with Adv-FZ33. Target antigens of the mAbs were identified by immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry. Of these mAbs, we noted a clone, F2-27, that recognized the receptor tyrosine kinase EphA2. Next, we generated an adenovirus vector, Ax3CMTK-FZ33, that expressed a herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase (HSV-TK). The therapeutic efficacy of F2-27–mediated HSV-TK gene transduction, followed by ganciclovir (GCV) administration, was studied in vitro. The inhibitory effect of F2-27 on cancer cell invasion was investigated by a three-dimensional spheroid formation assay. RESULTS: In vitro reporter gene expression after Adv-FZ33 infection via F2-27 was 146 times higher than with control mAb in EphA2-expressing cancer cell lines. F2-27–mediated Ax3CMTK-FZ33 infection induced the HSV-TK gene in an F2-27–dependent manner and had a highly effective cytotoxic effect in a GCV-dependent manner. Additionally, F2-27 independently inhibited migration of EphA2-positive breast cancer cell lines in three-dimensional culture. CONCLUSION: Our modified adenovirus and hybridoma screening system is useful for the development of targeted cancer therapy, and F2-27 has the potential to be an antibody-based therapy for various EphA2-positive cancers.
