Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES To define the prognosis and predictive factors for neurological improvement in older patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) of American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale grade C (AIS-C). SETTINGS Multi-institutions in Japan. METHODS We included patients aged ≥65 years with traumatic SCI of AIS-C who were treated conservatively or surgically with >3 follow-up months. To identify factors related to neurological improvement, patients were divided into three groups according to their neurological status at the final follow-up, with univariate among-group comparisons of demographics, radiographic, and therapeutic factors. Significant variables were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Overall, 296 older patients with SCI of AIS-C on admission were identified (average age: 75.2 years, average follow-up: 18.7 months). Among them, 190 (64.2%) patients improved to AIS-D and 21 (7.1%) patients improved to AIS-E at final follow-up. There were significant among-group differences in age (p = 0.026), body mass index (p = 0.007), status of pre-traumatic activities of daily living (ADL) (p = 0.037), and serum albumin concentrations (p = 0.011). Logistic regression analysis showed no significant differences in variables in the stratified group of patients who improved to AIS-D. Meanwhile, serum albumin was a significant variable in patients who improved to AIS-E (p = 0.026; OR: 6.20, pre-traumatic ADL was omitted due to data skewness). CONCLUSIONS Most older patients with incomplete AIS-C SCI demonstrated at least 1 grade of neurological improvement. However, <10% of patients achieved complete recovery. Key predictors of complete recovery were high serum albumin levels on admission and independent pre-traumatic ADL. SPONSORSHIP No funding was received for this study.

Abstract
This retrospective cohort study established malnutrition's impact on mortality and neurological recovery of older patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). It included patients aged ≥ 65 years with traumatic cervical SCI treated conservatively or surgically. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index was calculated to assess nutritional-related risk. Overall, 789 patients (mean follow-up: 20.1 months) were examined and 47 had major nutritional-related risks on admission. One-year mortality rate, median survival time, neurological recovery, and activities of daily living (ADL) at 1 year post-injury were compared between patients with major nutrition-related risk and matched controls selected using 1:2 propensity score matching to adjust for age, pre-traumatic neurological impairment, and activity. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the median survival times were 44.9 and 76.5 months for patients with major nutrition-related risk and matched controls, respectively (p = 0.015). Matched controls had more individuals with a neurological improvement of American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale ≥ 1 grade (p = 0.039) and independence in ADL at 1 year post-injury than patients with major nutrition-related risk (p < 0.05). In conclusion, 6% of older patients with cervical SCI had major nutrition-related risks; they showed a significantly higher 1 year mortality rate, shorter survival time, poorer neurological improvement, and lower ADL at 1 year post-injury than matched controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although previous studies have demonstrated the advantages of early surgery for traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), the appropriate surgical timing for cervical SCIs (CSCIs) without bone injury remains controversial. Here, we investigated the influence of relatively early surgery within 48 h of injury on the neurological recovery of elderly patients with CSCI and no bone injury. METHODS In this retrospective multicenter study, we reviewed data from 159 consecutive patients aged ≥65 years with CSCI without bone injury who underwent surgery in participating centers between 2010 and 2020. Patients were followed up for at least 6 months following CSCI. We divided patients into relatively early (≤48 h after CSCI, n = 24) and late surgery (>48 h after CSCI, n = 135) groups, and baseline characteristics and neurological outcomes were compared between them. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with neurological recovery. RESULTS The relatively early surgery group demonstrated a lower prevalence of cardiac disease, poorer baseline American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale grade, and lower baseline ASIA motor score (AMS) than those of the late surgery group (P < 0.030, P < 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively). Although the AMS was lower in the relatively early surgery group at 6 months following injury (P = 0.001), greater improvement in this score from baseline to 6-months post injury was observed (P = 0.010). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that relatively early surgery did not affect postoperative improvement in AMS, rather, lower baseline AMS was associated with better AMS improvement (P < 0.001). Delirium (P = 0.006), pneumonia (P = 0.030), and diabetes mellitus (P = 0.039) negatively influenced postoperative improvement. CONCLUSIONS Although further validation by future studies is required, relatively early surgery did not show a positive influence on neurological recovery after CSCI without bone injury in the elderly.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective Cohort Study. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognosis of respiratory function in elderly patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and to identify predictive factors. METHODS We included 1353 cases of elderly cervical SCI patients collected from 78 institutions in Japan. Patients who required early tracheostomy and ventilator management and those who developed respiratory complications were defined as the respiratory disability group. Patients' background characteristics, injury mechanism, injury form, neurological disability, complications, and treatment methods were compared between the disability and non-disability groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the independent factors. Patients who required respiratory management for 6 months or longer after injury and those who died of respiratory complications were classified into the severe disability group and were compared with minor cases who were weaned off the respirator. RESULTS A total of 104 patients (7.8%) had impaired respiratory function. Comparisons between the disabled and non-disabled groups and between the severe and mild injury groups yielded distinct trends. In multiple logistic regression analysis, age, blood glucose level, presence of ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), anterior vertebral hematoma, and critical paralysis were selected as independent risk factors. CONCLUSION Age, OPLL, severe paralysis, anterior vertebral hematoma, hypoalbuminemia, and blood glucose level at the time of injury were independent factors for respiratory failure. Hyperglycemia may have a negative effect on respiratory function in this condition.

Abstract
Neonatal spinal cord injury (SCI) shows better functional outcomes than adult SCI. Although the regenerative capability in the neonatal spinal cord may have cues in the treatment of adult SCI, the mechanism underlying neonatal spinal cord regeneration after SCI is unclear. We previously reported age-dependent variation in the pathogenesis of inflammation after SCI. Therefore, we explored differences in the pathogenesis of inflammation after SCI between neonatal and adult mice and their effect on axon regeneration and functional outcome. We established two-day-old spinal cord crush mice as a model of neonatal SCI. Immunohistochemistry of the spinal cord revealed that the nuclear translocation of NF-κB, which promotes the expression of chemokines, was significantly lower in the astrocytes of neonates than in those of adults. Flow cytometry revealed that neonatal astrocytes secrete low levels of chemokines to recruit circulating neutrophils (e.g., Cxcl1 and Cxcl2) after SCI in comparison with adults. We also found that the expression of a chemokine receptor (CXCR2) and an adhesion molecule (β2 integrin) quantified by flow cytometry was lower in neonatal circulating neutrophils than in adult neutrophils. Strikingly, these neonate-specific cellular properties seemed to be associated with no neutrophil infiltration into the injured spinal cord, followed by significantly lower expression of inflammatory cytokines (Il-1β, Il-6 and TNF-α) after SCI in the spinal cords of neonates than in those of adults. At the same time, significantly fewer apoptotic neurons and greater axonal regeneration were observed in neonates in comparison with adults, which led to a marked recovery of locomotor function. This neonate-specific mechanism of inflammation regulation may have potential therapeutic applications in controlling inflammation after adult SCI.

Abstract
Background Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating disease that results in permanent paralysis. Currently, there is no effective treatment for SCI, and it is important to identify factors that can provide therapeutic intervention during the course of the disease. Zinc, an essential trace element, has attracted attention as a regulator of inflammatory responses. In this study, we investigated the effect of zinc status on the SCI pathology and whether or not zinc could be a potential therapeutic target. Methods We created experimental mouse models with three different serum zinc concentration by changing the zinc content of the diet. After inducing contusion injury to the spinal cord of three mouse models, we assessed inflammation, apoptosis, demyelination, axonal regeneration, and the number of nuclear translocations of NF-κB in macrophages by using qPCR and immunostaining. In addition, macrophages in the injured spinal cord of these mouse models were isolated by flow cytometry, and their intracellular zinc concentration level and gene expression were examined. Functional recovery was assessed using the open field motor score, a foot print analysis, and a grid walk test. Statistical analysis was performed using Wilcoxon rank-sum test and ANOVA with the Tukey-Kramer test. Results In macrophages after SCI, zinc deficiency promoted nuclear translocation of NF-κB, polarization to pro-inflammatory like phenotype and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The inflammatory response exacerbated by zinc deficiency led to worsening motor function by inducing more apoptosis of oligodendrocytes and demyelination and inhibiting axonal regeneration in the lesion site compared to the normal zinc condition. Furthermore, zinc supplementation after SCI attenuated these zinc-deficiency-induced series of responses and improved motor function. Conclusion We demonstrated that zinc affected axonal regeneration and motor functional recovery after SCI by negatively regulating NF-κB activity and the subsequent inflammatory response in macrophages. Our findings suggest that zinc supplementation after SCI may be a novel therapeutic strategy for SCI.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the impact of early post-injury respiratory dysfunction for neurological and ambulatory ability recovery in patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and/or fractures. METHODS We included 1,353 elderly patients with SCI and/or fractures from 78 institutions in Japan. Patients who required early tracheostomy and ventilator management and those who developed respiratory complications were included in the respiratory dysfunction group, which was further classified into mild and severe respiratory groups based on respiratory weaning management. Patient characteristics, laboratory data, neurological impairment scale scores, complications at injury, and surgical treatment were evaluated. We performed a propensity score-matched analysis to compare neurological outcomes and mobility between groups. RESULTS Overall, 104 patients (7.8%) had impaired respiratory function. In propensity score-matched analysis, the respiratory dysfunction group had a lower home discharge and ambulation rates (p = 0.018, p = 0.001, respectively), and higher rate of severe paralysis (p < 0.001) at discharge. At the final follow-up, the respiratory dysfunction group had a lower ambulation rate (p = 0.004) and higher rate of severe paralysis (p < 0.001). Twenty-six patients with severe disability required respiratory management for up to 6 months post-injury and died of respiratory complications. The mild and severe respiratory dysfunction groups had a high percentage of severe paraplegic cases with low ambulatory ability; there was no significant difference between them. The severe respiratory dysfunction group tended to have a poorer prognosis. CONCLUSION Respiratory dysfunction in elderly patients with SCI and/or cervical fracture in the early post-injury period reflects the severity of the condition and may be a useful prognostic predictor.

Abstract
After spinal cord injury (SCI), inflammatory cells such as macrophages infiltrate the injured area, and astrocytes migrate, forming a glial scar around macrophages. The glial scar inhibits axonal regeneration, resulting in significant permanent disability. However, the mechanism through which glial scar-forming astrocytes migrate to the injury site has not been clarified. Here we show that migrating macrophages attract reactive astrocytes toward the center of the lesion after SCI. Chimeric mice with bone marrow lacking IRF8, which controls macrophage centripetal migration after SCI, showed widely scattered macrophages in the injured spinal cord with the formation of a huge glial scar around the macrophages. To determine whether astrocytes or macrophages play a leading role in determining the directions of migration, we generated chimeric mice with reactive astrocyte-specific Socs3-/- mice, which showed enhanced astrocyte migration, and bone marrow from IRF8-/- mice. In this mouse model, macrophages were widely scattered, and a huge glial scar was formed around the macrophages as in wild-type mice that were transplanted with IRF8-/- bone marrow. In addition, we revealed that macrophage-secreted ATP-derived ADP attracts astrocytes via the P2Y1 receptor. Our findings revealed a mechanism through which migrating macrophages attract astrocytes and affect the pathophysiology and outcome after SCI.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the prognosis of elderly patients with injuries related to cervical diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (cDISH) to matched control for each group, with and without fractures. METHODS The current multicenter study was a retrospective analysis of 140 patients aged 65 years or older with cDISH-related cervical spine injuries; 106 fractures and 34 spinal cord injuries without fracture were identified. Propensity score-matched cohorts from 1363 patients without cDISH were generated and compared. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk of early mortality for patients with cDISH-related injury. RESULTS Patients with cDISH-related injuries with fracture did not differ significantly in the incidence of each complication and ambulation or severity of paralysis compared to matched controls. In patients with cDISH-related injury without fracture, those who were nonambulatory at discharge comprised 55% vs 34% of controls, indicating significantly poorer ambulation in those with cDISH-related injuries (P = .023). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications and ambulation or paralysis severity at 6 months as compared with controls. Fourteen patients died within 3 months. Logistic regression analysis identified complete paralysis (odds ratio [OR] 36.99) and age (OR 1.24) as significant risk factors for mortality. CONCLUSIONS The current study showed no significant differences in the incidence of complications, ambulation outcomes between patients with cDISH-related injury with fracture and matched controls, and that the ambulation at discharge for patients with cDISH-related injury without fractures were significantly inferior to those of matched controls.

Abstract
Joint contracture causes distressing permanent mobility disorder due to trauma, arthritis, and aging, with no effective treatment available. A principal and irreversible cause of joint contracture has been regarded as the development of joint capsule fibrosis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying contracture remain unclear. We established a mouse model of knee joint contracture, revealing that fibrosis in joint capsules causes irreversible contracture. RNA-sequencing of contracture capsules demonstrated a marked enrichment of the genes involved in the extracellular region, particularly periostin (Postn). Three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging and immunohistological analysis of contracture patients revealed posterior joint capsule thickening with abundant type I collagen (Col1a2) and POSTN in humans. Col1a2-GFPTG ; Postn-/- mice and chimeric mice with Col1a2-GFPTG ; tdTomatoTG bone marrow showed fibrosis in joint capsules caused by bone marrow-derived fibroblasts, and POSTN promoted the migration of bone marrow-derived fibroblasts, contributing to fibrosis and contracture. Conversely, POSTN-neutralizing antibody attenuated contracture exacerbation. Our findings identified POSTN as a key inducer of fibroblast migration that exacerbates capsule fibrosis, providing a potential therapeutic strategy for joint contracture.

Abstract
We aimed to retrospectively investigate the demographic characteristics and short-term outcomes of traumatic cervical spine injuries in patients with dementia. We enrolled 1512 patients aged ≥ 65 years with traumatic cervical injuries registered in a multicenter study database. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of dementia, and 95 patients (6.3%) had dementia. Univariate analysis revealed that the dementia group comprised patients who were older and predominantly female and had lower body mass index, higher modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5), lower pre-injury activities of daily living (ADLs), and a larger number of comorbidities than patients without dementia. Furthermore, 61 patient pairs were selected through propensity score matching with adjustments for age, sex, pre-injury ADLs, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale score at the time of injury, and the administration of surgical treatment. In the univariate analysis of the matched groups, patients with dementia had significantly lower ADLs at 6 months and a higher incidence of dysphagia up to 6 months than patients without dementia. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with dementia had a higher mortality than those without dementia until the last follow-up. Dementia was associated with poor ADLs and higher mortality rates after traumatic cervical spine injuries in elderly patients.

Abstract
For older patients with decreased reserve function, traumatic cervical spine injuries frequently lead to early mortality. However, the prognostic factors for early mortality remain unclear. This study included patients aged ≥65 years and hospitalized for treatment of traumatic cervical spine injuries in 78 hospitals between 2010 and 2020. Early mortality was defined as death within 90 days after injury. We evaluated the relationship between early mortality and the following factors: age, sex, body mass index, history of drinking and smoking, injury mechanisms, presence of a cervical spine fracture and dislocation, cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale, concomitant injury, pre-existing comorbidities, steroid administration, and treatment plan. Overall, 1512 patients (mean age, 75.8 ± 6.9 years) were included in the study. The early mortality rate was 4.0%. Multivariate analysis identified older age (OR = 1.1, p < 0.001), male sex (OR = 3.7, p = 0.009), cervical spine fracture (OR = 4.2, p < 0.001), complete motor paralysis (OR = 8.4, p < 0.001), and chronic kidney disease (OR = 5.3, p < 0.001) as risk factors for early mortality. Older age, male sex, cervical spine fracture, complete motor paralysis, and chronic kidney disease are prognostic factors for early mortality in older patients with traumatic cervical spine injuries.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVES To investigate changes over a 10-years period in the profile of cervical spine and spinal cord injuries among the elderly in Japan. METHODS The current multicenter study was a retrospective analysis of inpatients aged ≥65 years, suffering cervical fracture (CF) and/or cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI). We analyzed 1413 patients' epidemiology (from 2010 to 2019). Moreover, 727 patients who underwent surgical treatment were analyzed in 2 groups: the early (2010-2014) and late period (2015-2019). RESULTS Both the number of patients and number of surgical patients showed a significant increasing trend (P < .001), while the mean age, the distribution of injury levels and paralysis severity, and the proportion of surgical indications remained the same. The number of surgical patients doubled from 228 to 499 from the early to late periods. Posterior surgery was the most common approach (90.4%), instrumentation surgery with screws increased significantly, and the range of fusion was significantly longer in the late period (2.1 vs 2.7 levels, P = .001). Significantly worsening neurological symptoms were recorded in the late period (1.3% vs 5.8%, P = .006), with C5 palsy being the major one. Otherwise, perioperative, major, and other complications, including mortality, did not differ significantly in incidence. CONCLUSIONS Both the number of elderly CF and/or CSCI patients and number of patients undergoing surgery increased dramatically over the decade without any change in profile. Instrumentation surgeries with screws increased, without an increase in systemic complications.

Abstract
After spinal cord injury (SCI), inflammatory cells such as macrophages infiltrate the injured area, and astrocytes migrate, forming a glial scar around macrophages. The glial scar inhibits axonal regeneration, resulting in significant permanent disability. However, the mechanism by which glial scar-forming astrocytes migrate to the injury site has not been clarified. Here we show that migrating macrophages attract reactive astrocytes toward the center of the lesion after SCI. Chimeric mice with bone marrow lacking IRF8, which controls macrophage centripetal migration after SCI, showed widely scattered macrophages in injured spinal cord with the formation of a huge glial scar around the macrophages. To determine whether astrocytes or macrophages play a leading role in determining the directions of migration, we generated chimeric mice with reactive astrocyte-specific Socs3 -/- mice, which showed enhanced astrocyte migration, and bone marrow from IRF8 -/- mice. In this mouse model, macrophages were widely scattered, and a huge glial scar was formed around the macrophages as in wild-type mice that were transplanted with IRF8 -/ bone marrow. In addition, we revealed that macrophage-secreted ATP-derived ADP attracts astrocytes via the P2Y1 receptor. Our findings revealed a mechanism in which migrating macrophages attracted astrocytes and affected the pathophysiology and outcome after SCI.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes reactive astrogliosis, the sequential phenotypic change of astrocytes in which naïve astrocytes (NAs) transform into reactive astrocytes (RAs) and subsequently become scar-forming astrocytes (SAs), resulting in glial scar formation around the lesion site and thereby limiting axonal regeneration and motor/sensory functional recovery. Inhibiting the transformation of RAs into SAs in the acute phase attenuates the reactive astrogliosis and promotes regeneration. However, whether or not SAs once formed can revert to RAs or SAs is unclear. We performed selective isolation of astrocytes from glial scars at different time points for a gene expression analysis and found that the expression of Sox9, an important transcriptional factor for glial cell differentiation, was significantly increased in chronic phase astrocytes (CAs) compared to SAs in the sub-acute phase. Furthermore, CAs showed a significantly lower expression of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG)-related genes than SAs. These results indicated that SAs changed their phenotypes according to the surrounding environment of the injured spinal cord over time. Even though the integrin-N-cadherin pathway is critical for glial scar formation, collagen-I-grown scar-forming astrocytes (Col-I-SAs) did not change their phenotype after depleting the effect of integrin or N-cadherin. In addition, we found that Col-I-SAs transplanted into a naïve spinal cord formed glial scar again by maintaining a high expression of genes involved in the integrin-N-cadherin pathway and a low expression of CSPG-related genes. Interestingly, the transplanted Col-I-SAs changed NAs into SAs, and anti-β1-integrin antibody blocked the recruitment of SAs while reducing the volume of glial scar in the chronic phase. Our findings indicate that while the characteristics of glial scars change over time after SCI, SAs have a cell-autonomous function to form and maintain a glial scar, highlighting the basic mechanism underlying the persistence of glial scars after central nervous system injury until the chronic phase, which may be a therapeutic target.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The management of cervical spine injuries in the elderly is often complicated by the presence of multiple medical comorbidities, and it is not uncommon for preoperative testing to reveal other conditions that require the postponement of surgery. However, the factors that affect the waiting time from injury to surgery have not been clarified. The purpose of this multicenter database study was to analyze the clinical features and identify the factors affecting the number of days waited between injury and surgery in elderly patients with a cervical spine injury. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the case histories of 1512 Japanese patients with a cervical spinal injury, who were seen at 33 institutions. After excluding patients who were not initially receiving a surgery for cervical spinal injury, 694 patients were ultimately analyzed. Based on a multivariate mixed model, we determined the factors related to the number of days from injury to surgery. RESULTS The mean time from injury to surgery was 12.3 days. Multivariate analysis revealed delays of 10.7 days for a renal disorder, 7.3 days for anticoagulant use, and 15.2 days for non-surgical thoracolumbar fracture as factors prolonging wait time. In contrast, a C3 or lower spine injury was significantly associated with a shortening of 9.5 days to surgery. CONCLUSIONS This multicenter database study identified several factors influencing the time between injury and cervical spine surgery in elderly patients. While renal impairment, anticoagulant use, and non-surgical thoracolumbar fracture may increase the number of days to surgery, trauma to C3 or lower may expedite surgical treatment.

Abstract
In crush syndrome, massive muscle breakdown resulting from ischemia-reperfusion muscle injury can be a life-threatening condition that requires urgent treatment. Blood reperfusion into the ischemic muscle triggers an immediate inflammatory response, and neutrophils are the first to infiltrate and exacerbate the muscle damage. Since free zinc ion play a critical role in the immune system and the function of neutrophils is impaired by zinc depletion, we hypothesized that the administration of a zinc chelator would be effective for suppressing the inflammatory reaction at the site of ischemia-reperfusion injury and for improving of the pathology of crush syndrome. A crush syndrome model was created by using a rubber tourniquet to compress the bilateral hind limbs of mice at 8 weeks. A zinc chelator N,N,N',N'-tetrakis-(2-pyridylmethyl)-ethylenediamine (TPEN) was administered immediately after reperfusion in order to assess the anti-inflammatory effect of the chelator for neutrophils. Histopathological evaluation showed significantly less muscle breakdown and fewer neutrophil infiltration in TPEN administration group compared with control group. In addition, the expression levels of inflammatory cytokine and chemokine such as IL-6, TNFα, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCR2, CCL2 in ischemia-reperfusion injured muscle were significantly suppressed with TPEN treatment. Less dilatation of renal tubules in histological evaluation in renal tissue and significantly better survival rate were demonstrated in TPEN treatment for ischemia-reperfusion injury in crush syndrome. The findings of our study suggest that zinc chelators contributed to the resolution of exacerbation of the inflammatory response and attenuation of muscle breakdown in the acute phase after crush syndrome. In addition, our strategy of attenuation of the acute inflammatory reaction by zinc chelators may provide a promising therapeutic strategy not only for crush syndrome, but also for other diseases driven by inflammatory reactions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The 1-year mortality and functional prognoses of patients who received surgery for cervical trauma in the elderly remains unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the rates of, and factors associated with mortality and the deterioration in walking capacity occurring 1 year after spinal fusion surgery for cervical fractures in patients 65 years of age or older.
Methods
Three hundred thirteen patients aged 65 years or more with a traumatic cervical fracture who received spinal fusion surgery were enrolled. The patients were divided into a survival group and a mortality group, or a maintained walking capacity group and a deteriorated walking capacity group. We compared patients’ backgrounds, trauma, and surgical parameters between the two groups. To identify factors associated with mortality or a deteriorated walking capacity 1 year postoperatively, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted.
Results
One year postoperatively, the rate of mortality was 8%. A higher Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score, a more severe the American Spinal Cord Injury Association impairment scale (AIS), and longer surgical time were identified as independent factors associated with an increase in 1-year mortality. The rate of deterioration in walking capacity between pre-trauma and 1 year postoperatively was 33%. A more severe AIS, lower albumin (Alb) and hemoglobin (Hb) values, and a larger number of fused segments were identified as independent factors associated with the increased risk of deteriorated walking capacity 1 year postoperatively.
Conclusions
The 1-year rate of mortality after spinal fusion surgery for cervical fracture in patients 65 years of age or older was 8%, and its associated factors were a higher CCI score, a more severe AIS, and a longer surgical time. The rate of deterioration in walking capacity was 33%, and its associated factors were a more severe AIS, lower Alb, lower Hb values, and a larger number of fused segments.

Abstract
Introduction In elderly patients with cervical spinal cord injury, comorbidities such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are common, with frequent administration of antiplatelet/anticoagulant (APAC) drugs. Such patients may bleed easily or unexpectedly during surgery despite prior withdrawal of APAC medication. Few reports have examined the precise relationship between intraoperative blood loss and history of APAC use regarding surgery for cervical spine injury in the elderly. The present multicenter database survey aimed to answer the question of whether the use of APAC drugs affected the amount of intraoperative blood loss in elderly patients with cervical spinal cord trauma. Methods The case histories of 1512 patients with cervical spine injury at 33 institutes were retrospectively reviewed. After excluding cases without spinal surgery or known blood loss volume, 797 patients were enrolled. Blood volume loss was the outcome of interest. We calculated propensity scores using the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method. As an alternative sensitivity analysis, linear mixed model analyses were conducted as well. Results Of the 776 patients (mean age: 75.1±6.4 years) eligible for IPTW calculation, 157 (20.2%) were taking APAC medications before the injury. After weighting, mean estimated blood loss was 204 mL for non-APAC patients and 215 mL for APAC patients. APAC use in elderly patients was not significantly associated with surgical blood loss according to the IPTW method with propensity scoring or linear mixed model analyses. Thus, it appeared possible to perform surgery expecting comparable blood loss in APAC and non-APAC cases. Conclusions This multicenter study revealed no significant increase in surgical blood loss in elderly patients with cervical trauma taking APAC drugs. Surgeons may be able to prioritize patient background, complications, and preexisting conditions over APAC use before injury when examining the surgical indications for cervical spine trauma in the elderly.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVES To investigate the neurological outcomes of older individuals treated with surgery versus conservative treatment for cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) without bone injury. SETTING Thirty-three medical institutions in Japan. METHODS This study included 317 consecutive persons aged ≥65 years with CSCI without bone injury in participating institutes between 2010 and 2020. The participants were followed up for at least 6 months after the injury. Individuals were divided into surgery (n = 114) and conservative treatment (n = 203) groups. To compare neurological outcomes and complications between the groups, propensity score matching of the baseline factors (characteristics, comorbidities, and neurological function) was performed. RESULTS After propensity score matching, the surgery and conservative treatment groups comprised 89 individuals each. Surgery was performed at a median of 9.0 (3-17) days after CSCI. Baseline factors were comparable between groups, and the standardized difference in the covariates in the matched cohort was <10%. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale grade and ASIA motor score (AMS) 6 months after injury and changes in the AMS from baseline to 6 months after injury were not significantly different between groups (P = 0.63, P = 0.24, and P = 0.75, respectively). Few participants who underwent surgery demonstrated perioperative complications such as dural tear (1.1%), surgical site infection (2.2%), and C5 palsy (5.6%). CONCLUSION Conservative treatment is suggested to be a more favorable option for older individuals with CSCI without bone injuries, but this finding requires further validation.

Abstract
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a relatively common progressive noninflammatory entheses disease. Patients are often asymptomatic or are undiagnosed due to minor chronic symptoms. We herein report a rare case in which the primary symptom was sudden-onset upper airway obstruction due to exuberant osteophytosis in the cervical spine. Treatment was successful with careful airway management and surgical osteophyectomy. Most DISH cases in the literature with airway obstruction have been managed with tracheotomy. However, the safety and necessity of this approach remain questionable. We herein discuss the possibility of conservative management as a choice of airway control. Airway obstruction due to DISH may be underrecognized. This highlights the importance of including DISH in the differential diagnosis of airway obstruction. In addition, a detailed evaluation and personalized care for each individual case is essential.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An intramedullary (IM) rod is used to resect the distal femur vertically to the femoral mechanical axis in the coronal plane in many cases of total knee arthroplasties (TKA). The valgus angle between the mechanical axis and the anatomical axis of the distal femur is estimated preoperatively. It is known the deviation of the IM rod in the femoral canal could influence the femoral component alignment. However, there is no published data regarding how many degrees of deviation to make with the IM rod. The purpose of this study is to measure each deviation of the IM rod using three-dimensional (3D) computer simulations. METHODS Preoperative CT scans on 30 knees undergoing TKA were studied. The line connecting central points at 10 and 20 cm proximal from the intercondylar notch was defined as the anatomical axis and the point at which the anatomical axis intersects the surface of the distal femur was considered as the entry point of the IM rod. The medio-lateral (ML) and antero-posterior (AP) deviations between the anatomical axis and the IM rod were measured. RESULTS The ML and AP deviations were 0.8 and 1.1° on average. The IM rod was deviated medio-laterally more than 1.0° in three knees (10%). CONCLUSION Surgeons should note the ML difference of the resection thickness of the distal femur for coronal alignment. If the ML difference varies greatly from the preoperative planning, they need to adjust at most 1.0° of valgus angle to achieve the appropriate coronal alignment. Level of evidence III, Therapeutic.

Abstract
Two studies were conducted to check the effects of β-blocker eye drops, 2% carteolol (Mikelan®) and 0.5% timolol (Timoptol®), on regeneration of corneal epithelium in rabbit eyes. For the short-term study, epithelial deficiency was artificially induced in the cornea of albino rabbits. One of the β-blocker eye drops or 0.005% benzalkonium chloride was applied in the right eye and physiological saline solution was applied to the left eye four times a day, and wound healing rate was calculated. Two weeks later, images of the surface epithelium were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and proliferative capacity was studied, using proliferating cell nuclear antigen as a marker. The long-term study was conducted similarly except that the eye drops were applied twice a day and epithelial deficiency was re-induced every two weeks. In the short-term study, epithelial wound healing rate was slowed in β-blocker groups. Significant differences were detected between the Mikelan® and Timoptol® groups, and the benzalkonium and physiological saline groups. The β-blocker groups had severe epithelial cell desquamation, as well as detachment. In the long-term study, the Mikelan® group had significantly delayed wound healing at first induction, the benzalkonium group showed delay up to the third induction and the Timoptol® group up to the fifth induction. These studies indicate that β-blocker eye drops delay corneal epithelial wound healing and supported the concept that corneal epithelial deficiency occurs clinically after the long-term administration of β-blocker eye drops.

Abstract
Although osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONF) is one of the serious complications in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) associated with corticosteroid therapy, there has been few trials of prevention of ONF described. We aimed to prevent ONF in steroid-treated SLE patients using anticoagulant, warfarin, conducting a multicenter prospective study. Sixty newly diagnosed SLE patients requiring 40 mg/day or more prednisolone were alternately assigned to either of two groups; a warfarin group and a control one. Warfarin (1 ∼ 5 mg/day) was started together with the beginning of steroid therapy and continued at least for three months. Patients were observed for the development of silent ONF by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and symptomatic ONF by plain radiography for over five years. The warfarin group consisted of 31 patients (62 hips) and the control one 29 patients (58 hips). Silent ONF developed in 13 hips (21%) and 19 hips (33%) in the warfarin group and the control group, respectively ( P = 0.13). On the other hand, warfarin tended to prevent symptomatic ONF; only three hips of 62 (4.8%) in the warfarin group and eight hips of 58 (14%) in the control group ( P = 0.08) developed silent ONF. It was also found that silent ONF developed, if it did, very early; within three months in 16 of 18 patients (89%). Among risk factors for silent ONF, steroid pulse therapy was most outstanding and it seemed to overcome the effect of warfarin. Taken together, for the time being, anticoagulant therapy, if not significantly sufficient, may be of use for the prevention of steroid-induced ONF in SLE. We consider that this study added to important evidence for the pathogenesis and prevention of ONF.

Abstract
Development of drugs requires electrophysiological studies of small animals like mice, rats or guinea pigs. Electrocardiography (ECG) of hirsute animals is time-consuming. We have developed a micro magnetometer array with a 9-channel superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) with a 2.5-mm diameter pickup-coil for noncontacting measurement of magnetocardiograms (MCGs) in small animals. The micro-MCG successfully recorded the PQRST complex in mice, rats and guinea pigs. A regional myocardial injury was made in rat hearts with a cryoinjury probe, and the characteristic pattern of the injury was recorded in the MCG. An anterior myocardial injury created a QS pattern in the MCG, and a posterior myocardial injury created a QR pattern in the MCG. Quinidine-induced QT prolongation was successfully detected by micro-MCG in mice and rats. Simultaneous recording of ECG and MCG was conducted after intraperitoneal administration of quinidine (60 mg/kg) in guinea pigs. QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc) in both ECG and MCG correlated well. The newly developed micro-MCG may facilitate electrophysiological studies of small animals, and may enable high-throughput screening of drug-induced QT abnormality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously reported a mouse model of bronchial asthma showing eosinophilic inflammation, but not airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), after prolonged antigen exposure. This model showed an increase of IL-12 in the lung. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the role of IL-12p40 in a murine asthma model with prolonged antigen exposures. METHODS An ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma model was first established in wild-type (WT) and IL-12p40-deficient (IL-12p40(-/-)) mice. Both strains of mice were further exposed to either OVA (prolonged exposure group) or phosphate-buffered saline (positive control group) 3 days per week for 3 weeks. During week 4, both groups of mice were given a final challenge with OVA. RESULTS Prolonged antigen exposures resulted in marked suppression of airway eosinophilia in both WT and IL-12p40(-/-) mice. However, AHR persisted in IL-12p40(-/-) but not in WT mice. There were no significant differences of IL-5, IL-13 or IFN-gamma levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid between WT and IL-12p40(-/-) mice. The hydroxyproline content of the lung and peribronchial fibrosis were, however, significantly increased in IL-12p40(-/-) mice. CONCLUSION The results suggest that endogenous IL-12p40 is essential for inhibition of AHR and peribronchial fibrosis, but not eosinophilic inflammation, in a murine asthma model with prolonged antigen exposures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients show high levels of circulating mucin including KL-6/MUC1 (soluble MUC1 mucin). Because cancer mucin can bind vascular endothelial cells and platelets via selectins, mucin-selectin interactions are reported to trigger platelet aggregation and intravascular coagulation. Therefore, we hypothesized that KL-6/MUC1 is involved in the pathogenesis of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in ARDS. The aim of the current study is to evaluate the association between circulating KL-6/MUC1 and DIC in ARDS patients. DESIGN Observational study with structured follow-up. SETTING Intensive care unit in Hiroshima University Hospital. SUBJECTS Fifty-six newly diagnosed patients with ARDS. INTERVENTIONS Circulating levels of KL-6/MUC1 were measured during diagnosis and serially measured during the clinical course along with indices of respiratory failure, inflammation, coagulation and fibrinolysis and multiple organ dysfunction. RESULTS Acute respiratory distress syndrome patients complicated with DIC showed significantly higher levels of serum KL-6/MUC1 than patients without DIC during the clinical course. Amongst the parameters analysed at diagnosis of ARDS, KL-6/MUC1 was an independent predictor for DIC complication. The baseline level of circulating KL-6/MUC1 at diagnosis of ARDS was significantly correlated with an increased DIC score following ARDS diagnosis. Using an optimum cutoff level of KL-6/MUC1 obtained by a receiver operating characteristic curve, the sensitivity and specificity for predicting future DIC development in ARDS patients were 88.9% and 55.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that KL-6/MUC1 is associated with DIC development in ARDS patients. Elevated levels of KL-6/MUC1 at diagnosis could be a predictor of DIC complication in ARDS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantify the activated B cells in the peripheral blood and salivary glands of patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) by analyzing the expression of RP105 molecule on the B cells. METHODS The expression of RP105 on the peripheral blood B cells of patients with SS (19 cases) was analyzed by flow cytometry. RP105-positive and negative B cells were sorted and cultured in vitro and the amount of immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM) produced in the supernatant was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Salivary gland biopsy samples from 9 SS patients were histologically evaluated and the sequential frozen sections were separately immunostained by anti-RP105 and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies. RESULTS A significantly higher proportion of peripheral blood RP105-negative B cells was found in SS patients than in healthy individuals. RP105-negative, but not positive, B cells from SS patients were capable of producing IgG and IgM spontaneously in vitro, which was enhanced by the addition of Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I strain (SAC) or IL-6. Salivary glands from 2 of 9 SS patients were found to have lymphoid follicles whose germinal centers consisted of RP105-negative B cells. Moreover, a larger proportion of B cells extensively infiltrating the area other than lymphoid follicles was also RP105-negative. CONCLUSION RP105-negative B cells, a subset of highly activated and well differentiated B cells, which are increased in number in the peripheral blood and extensively infiltrate salivary glands, may be responsible for the production of class-switched immunoglobulin in SS. In addition, those cells might be associated with the inflammation and tissue damage of the salivary glands.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE [corrected] To determine the clinical characteristics of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)-associated Behçet's disease (BD) in Japan. METHODS 54 Japanese cases of MDS-associated BD obtained from the literature and from our own clinical experience were reviewed. The clinical features of MDS-associated BD were compared with those of the 1991 nationwide BD survey in Japan. RESULTS In MDS-associated BD, the average age at onset was 42.6 years, which was 6.9 years later than for all BD patients; females developed disease more frequently than males (male: female ratio = 0.80). In MDS-associated BD cases, the occurrence of eye lesions was significantly lower, the frequency of intestinal lesions was markedly higher, and the rate of HLA-B51 positivity was lower than that in all BD. BD and MDS developed nearly simultaneously in 49.0% of cases; BD preceded MDS in 31.4% of the cases. The distribution of the age at BD onset showed two peaks, one in the 3rd decade and the other in the 6th decade. Females were more likely to develop younger-onset disease, while men were more likely to develop older-onset MDS-associated BD. Furthermore, in the older-onset group, BD was diagnosed together with or after the diagnosis of MDS, while half of the younger-onset group developed BD earlier than MDS. CONCLUSION MDS-associated BD patients form a distinct subset of patients. There may, in fact, be two major groups of MDS-associated BD patients based on age, gender, and temporal relationship of the two diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess ex vivo CD4(+) T-cell cytokine expression from patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) following in vitro stimulation to induce proliferation, as proliferation is closely related to differentiation of cytokine-producing cells. METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) separated from primary SS patients (n = 28) and controls (n = 25) were analysed. PBMCs were stimulated with concanavalin A followed by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and ionomycin. Intracellular interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL)-4 in proliferating CD4(+) T cells were assessed by flow cytometry. The proportion of cytokine-producing cells and proliferating cells in each division cycle was assessed using [5(and 6)-carboxyfluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester]-labelled CD4(+/-) T cells. RESULTS The proportion of IFN-gamma+ proliferating CD4(+) T cells in each cell division cycle from extraglandular SS was increased in glandular SS patients compared glandular SS patients with controls (P<0.05 approximately 0.01). The percentage of IFN-gamma single positive proliferating CD4(+) T cells was greater in extraglandular SS patients (26.7+/-14.1%) compared with glandular SS (9.9 +/- 9.1%) (P<0.01) and controls (9.4 +/- 5.8%) (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the percentages of IL-4(+) proliferating CD4(+) T cells among the groups. However, the proliferating response of CD4(+) T cells was significantly decreased in extraglandular SS patients (percentage of proliferating cells 38.4 +/- 18.6%) compared with that in glandular SS patients (64.2 +/- 17.2%) (P<0.05) and controls (63.1+/-10.6%) (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS CD4(+) T cells from extraglandular SS patients may have a predisposition for entry into the IFN-gamma-producing effector pathway as a result of the stimulations. These results are helpful for understanding the immunological difference between glandular and extraglandular SS and the mechanisms of disease progression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between the production of Th1/Th2 cytokines and cell kinetics, cell division and proliferation in patients with Behçet's disease (BD). METHODS Peripheral venous blood was drawn from patients with BD (n = 24; 10 patients with active and 14 patients with inactive BD) and normal subjects (n = 22). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated immediately and were cultured with concanavalin A (Con A) followed by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and ionomycin (PMA+Ion). Intracellular cytokine production of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) (Th1) and IL-4 (Th2) in CD4(+) T cells was determined by flow cytometry. Furthermore, CD4(+) T cells labelled with CFSE [5 (and 6) carboxyfluorescein diacretate, succinimidyl ester] were stimulated and the cells were analysed for entry into the cytokine production effector pathway during cell division in active BD and normal subjects. RESULTS In active BD, enhanced entry into the Th1 response effector pathway of CD4(+) T cells was observed after stimulation with Con A followed by PMA+Ion. Analysis of CD4(+) T cells at an identical cell division number in response to Con A followed by PMA+Ion revealed that IFN-gamma-producing cells were increased in active BD patients compared with normal subjects. These results suggest that the Th1 response of dividing CD4(+) T cells is predominantly operating in active BD. Dividing CD4(+) T cells stimulated with Con A followed by PMA+Ion showed a phenotype of activated effector memory T cells (CD45RA(low), CD45RO(+), CD69(high)). CONCLUSIONS Cell kinetics play a crucial role in Th1 cell differentiation and pathophysiology in BD.

Abstract
Tumor growth and metastasis are dependent on angiogenesis. Therefore, certain angiogenesis markers may be useful as metastasis markers and/or the targets for antiangiogenic therapy. We and others have been studying endoglin(EDG; CD105) for such purposes. EDG is a proliferation-associated antigen of endothelial cells and essential for angiogenesis. In addition, EDG is a component of the transforming growth factor(TGF)-beta receptor complex. Expression of EDG is up-regulated in tumor-associated angiogenic vasculature compared with normal tissue vasculature. Microvessel density detected for EDG expression in breast cancer tissues showed a statistically significant correlation with overall and disease-free survival. In addition, elevated serum EDG was associated with metastasis in patients with colorectal, breast, and other solid tumors. On the other hand, We have been targeting EDG on tumor vasculature to suppress tumor growth and metastasis by systemic(i.v.) administration of anti-EDG monoclonal antibodies(mAbs) and immunoconjugates(IMCs). To thid end, we have been using three animal models, i.e., severe combined immunodeficient(SCID) mouse model of MCF-7 human breast cancer, human skin/SCID mouse chimera model bearing MCF-7 tumor, and syngeneic metastasis model of colon-26 adenocarcinoma cells in BALB/c mice. In addition, antiangiogenic activities of anti-EDG mAbs and IMCs were evaluated in mice using the dorsal air sac assay. The IMCs were prepared by coupling deglycosylated ricin A-chain or 125I to individual anti-EDG mAbs. These anti-EDG IMCs and mAbs showed substantial antitumor efficacy and antimetastatic activities without showing severe toxicity. Recently, we generated a recombinant human/mouse chimeric anti-EDG mAb to facilitate clinical application of the mAb.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We examined the relation between somatosensory N20m primary responses and high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) after thumb and middle finger stimulation. METHODS Somatosensory evoked fields (SEFs) from 12 subjects were measured following electric stimulation of the thumb and middle finger. SEFs were recorded with a wide bandpass (3-2000 Hz) and then N20m and HFOs were separated by subsequent 3-300 and 300-900 Hz bandpass filtering. RESULTS The N20m peak-to-peak amplitude did not differ significantly between thumb and middle finger SEFs. In contrast, HFOs had a significantly larger number of peaks and were higher in the maximum amplitude and the total amplitude after thumb stimulation than after middle finger stimulation. CONCLUSIONS Our present data demonstrate a different relation between N20m and HFOs after thumb and middle finger stimulation. In view of the fact that the human thumb has uniquely evolved functionally and morphologically, the somatosensory information from the thumb will be processed differently for a fine motor control. We speculate that HFOs are generated by inhibitory interneurons in layer 4 in area 3b. Thus, enhanced activity of interneurons reflected by high amplitude HFOs exerts stronger inhibition on downstream pyramidal cells in area 3b for thumb stimulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The percentage of the aged among all patients with bronchial asthma is increasing. OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors for the development of steroid-dependent asthma in the elderly. METHODS A multiple logistic regression analysis involving various clinical factors between steroid-dependent and -independent asthma was carried out for 59 asthmatics aged over 60 years, including 16 patients with steroid-dependent asthma. The calculated risk for each factor was compared with that obtained from 122 younger asthmatics aged 20-59 years. RESULTS Among the factors examined (sex, age, period from onset of asthma, type of asthma and family history of asthma, plus history of smoking, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps), the significant risk factors for the development of steroid dependency in the elderly asthmatics were only family history of bronchial asthma (relative risk 3.6) and smoking history (relative risk 6.9). CONCLUSIONS Some risk factors for steroid-dependent asthma in younger individuals were not significant in the elderly. Since the smoking history was most closely associated with the development of steroid dependency in the elderly, even though most of them had quit smoking, it is important for patients with asthma to avoid smoking.

Abstract
In this report, we present data indicating that the increased serum endoglin (EDG; CD105) quantitated by a double-antibody sandwich assay is associated with metastasis in patients with solid tumors including colorectal and breast carcinomas. In addition, we show that chemotherapy exerts a suppressive effect on the serum EDG. EDG is a proliferation-associated cell membrane antigen of human vascular endothelial cells. Furthermore, EDG is essential for angiogenesis. We generated two anti-EDG monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), termed SN6a and SN6h, defining different epitopes of EDG and developed a double-antibody sandwich assay to quantitate serum EDG in patients with solid tumors. SN6h possesses an exceedingly high antigen-binding avidity (K, 1.38 x 10(11) liters/mol), whereas SN6a possesses an ordinary avidity for a mAb directed to a cell surface antigen (K, 2.85 x 10(8) liters/mol). We measured serum samples from 101 patients with solid tumors (34 colorectal cancers, 16 breast cancers, and 51 other cancers), 8 patients with benign diseases, and 31 healthy volunteers. The serum level of EDG was significantly elevated in the patients with metastatic cancers. The mean serum EDG in the 42 metastasis-negative patients was 34.0 +/- 26.8 ng/ml (median value, 27.9 ng/ml), whereas the value in the 59 metastasis-positive patients was 63.8 +/- 72.5 ng/ml (median value, 37.2 ng/ml). The difference in EDG levels between the two groups was statistically significant (P = 0.012). Of the colorectal cancer patients, the difference in EDG levels between the 19 metastasis-negative patients and the 15 metastasis-positive patients was statistically significant (P = 0.02). In addition, the difference between the normal control (n = 31) and the 15 metastasis-positive colorectal cancer patients was statistically significant (P = 0.04). Of the breast cancer patients, the difference in EDG levels between the 11 metastasis-positive patients and the normal control was statistically significant (P < 0.005). In additional studies, we found that chemotherapy suppressed serum EDG levels in cancer patients. Of the 54 metastasis-positive patients with solid tumors, the mean serum EDG in the 32 chemotherapy-receiving [chemotherapy(+)] patients was 44.7 +/- 41.9 ng/ml (median value, 36.1 ng/ml), whereas the value in the 22 chemotherapy(-) patients was 102.4 +/- 99.5 ng/ml (median value, 64.8 ng/ml). The difference in serum EDG between the two groups is statistically significant (P < 0.005). In the majority of metastasis-positive patients who were not receiving chemotherapy, serum EDG was elevated. The results suggest that serum EDG may be a useful marker for monitoring early signs of metastasis and cancer relapse in a long-term follow-up of solid tumor patients.

Abstract
Cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) are considered to be the most important mediator involved in the pathogenesis of aspirin-intolerant asthma (AIA). However, the role of cysLTs in the baseline condition of the pathophysiology of AIA when not exposed to non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as well as that in the pathophysiology of aspirin-tolerant asthma remains to be elucidated. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of pranlukast, a potent, selective cysLT receptor antagonist, on bronchial responsiveness to methacholine, a non-specific stimulus, in 7 well-controlled aspirin-intolerant asthmatics receiving oral or inhaled corticosteroid treatment. Pranlukast was orally administered at a dose of 225 mg twice daily to all patients for 4 weeks, and the methacholine challenge test was performed before and after pranlukast treatment. The methacholine provocative concentration producing a 20% fall in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (PC20-FEV1) was calculated as an index of bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR). The geometric mean values of PC20-FEV1 significantly (p = 0.028) increased from 0.34 mg/dl to 0.61 mg/dl after pranlukast treatment. No significant differences were observed in the baseline values of forced vital capacity (FVC) or FEV1 before and after pranlukast treatment. These findings suggest that antagonism of endogenous cysLT by pranlukast may be responsible for the improvement of BHR to methacholine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To establish a simple method of determining the appropriate stimulus intensity for studying the dipole moment in somatosensory evoked fields. METHODS In 17 patients (20 hemispheres), the authors studied the relationship between the dipole moment and stimulus intensity, which was quantified using the threshold of thenar muscle twitch (TMT). The dipole moment was measured at 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 TMT. Two measurements were obtained at 1.5 TMT to determine the procedure's margin of error. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the dipole moments measured at 1.5 and 2.0 TMT. CONCLUSIONS Setting the stimulus intensity at 1.5 TMT or more ensures a consistent response.

Abstract
Cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) are considered to be important mediators involved in bronchial asthma and the ensuing eosinophilic inflammation. We evaluated the effects of pranlukast, a potent and selective cysLT receptor antagonist, on the clinical course and serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels of 10 asthmatic patients. A four-week administration of pranlukast increased the morning peak expiratory flow (PEF) (p = 0.007) and decreased as-needed beta 2-agonist use (p = 0.021). Changes in the morning PEF inversely correlated with those in the serum ECP levels (r = -0.80, p = 0.0057). These results suggest that cysLTs are important mediators involved in eosinophilic inflammation, a major pathophysiologic feature of bronchial asthma in humans.

Abstract
Endoglin (CD105), which is a component of the TGF-beta receptor complex, is highly expressed at the surface of proliferating human endothelial cells such as those of tumor vessels. In the present study, we tested the antitumor efficacy of (125)I-labeled anti-endoglin monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), SN6f and SN6j, against s. c. tumors of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells in SCID mice by i.v. administration. SN6f and SN6j cross-react weakly with mouse endothelial cells, but show no significant reactivity with MCF-7 tumor cells. These MAbs are effectively internalized into the cells after binding to the cell surface antigen of endothelial cells. Four groups of SCID mice (n = 10 or 9 in each group) inoculated s.c. with 8 x 10(6) MCF-7 cells were treated with (125)I-SN6f (10 microCi), (125)I-SN6j (10 microCi), a (125)I-labeled isotype-matched control IgG (10 microCi) or PBS. The systemic therapy was performed in 2 series, i.e., on days 3, 5, 7 and days 58, 60, 62. Both (125)I-SN6f and (125)I-SN6j showed significant growth suppression of the tumors, whereas the (125)I-labeled control IgG did not show any significant antitumor efficacy. No significant toxicity or weight loss was observed in mice treated with either (125)I-SN6f or (125)I-SN6j. After 100 days of observation, autopsies revealed no significant organ damage. Our results show the possible usefulness of antiangiogenic radioimmunotherapy using (125)I-labeled anti-endoglin MAbs.

Abstract
The function of the immune system is known to be dependent on the cellular differentiation and clonal expansion of allergen-specific lymphocytes. Telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein enzyme, is believed to be essential for the indefinite proliferation of human cells. To clarify whether telomerase is involved in the pathogenesis of immune diseases as well as of malignancies, we investigated the upregulation of telomerase activity in allergen-specific T lymphocytes. Upregulation of telomerase in allergen-sensitized lymphocytes was induced not only by artificial mitogenic stimulations but also by the natural antigen, house dust mite, which causes allergic diseases. Moreover, the upregulation of telomerase activity in memory T cells activated during allergen-specific immune responses might be associated with the enduring allergen-specific atopic propensity in asthmatics.

Abstract
Endoglin (EDG, CD105) is a proliferation-associated antigen on endothelial cells. In this study, two new anti-EDG monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) Y4-2F1 (or termed SN6j) and P3-2G8 (SN6k) were generated and used for treating distinct preformed tumors. These mAbs, both IgG1-kappa antibodies, cross-reacted weakly with mouse endothelial cells but defined epitopes different from the epitope defined by a previously reported anti-EDG mAb K4-2C10 (B. K. Seon et al., Clin. Cancer Res., 3: 1031-1044, 1997). SN6j and SN6k reacted strongly with human endothelial cells and vascular endothelium of malignant human tissues but showed no significant reactivity with tumor cells per se. The deglycosylated ricin A chain (dgRA) conjugates of the two mAbs showed a weak but specific cytotoxic activity against murine endothelial cells in vitro. In the therapeutic studies, severe combined immunodeficient mice were inoculated s.c. with MCF-7 human breast cancer cells and left untreated until palpable tumors of distinct size (4-6 mm in diameter) appeared. Mice with the distinct tumors were treated by i.v. administration of individual anti-EDG conjugates, unconjugated mAbs, or a control conjugate. Long-lasting complete regression of the tumors was induced in the majority of tumor-bearing mice (n = 8 for each conjugate) when 40 microg of the individual conjugates were administered three times via the tail vein. It is remarkable that the tumors remained regressed without further therapy for as long as the mice were followed (i.e., 100 days). Control conjugate did not induce regression of the tumors in any of the treated mice, although weak nonspecific effects were observed in some of the mice (n = 8). The effects of unconjugated mAbs were small with the dose used, i.e., 34 microg three times. The anti-EDG conjugates showed antiangiogenic activity in the dorsal air sac assay in mice. The results suggest good potential of these conjugates for the clinical application.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To investigate whether platelets are activated in asthmatics with increased release of preformed mediators and to investigate the influence of oral administration of theophylline on them. DESIGN Comparison of the intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) in platelets as an indicator of platelet activation, CD62P expression on platelets, and the chemokine regulated upon activation in normal T cells expressed and presumably secreted (RANTES) level in platelet-rich buffer supernatants between asthmatics and normal subjects. SETTING The respiratory outpatient clinics, Hiroshima University, Japan. PARTICIPANTS Twenty-five normal volunteers, 19 asthmatics taking no oral drugs associated with asthma treatment (group A), and 18 asthmatics taking oral theophylline (group B). MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS While the resting [Ca2+]is in platelets were similar among the three groups, the [Ca2+]is in group A were significantly higher than those in normal subjects (p<0.05) and group B (p<0.01) after thrombin or 9,11-epithia-11,12-methano-thromboxane A2 (STA2) stimulation in the absence of external Ca2+. The CD62P expression level and RANTES level in group A after STA2 stimulation were significantly higher than those in normal subjects and group B (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS We conclude that agonist-mediated activation of platelets is augmented in asthmatics resulting in enhanced release of chemokine such as RANTES, which could be suppressed by oral administration of theophylline.

Abstract
In the present study, we developed an antitumor immunoconjugate that appears to be promising as a novel curative antitumor agent against a variety of human solid tumors. We generated a new antihuman endoglin (EDG) monoclonal antibody (mAb) K4-2C10 (or termed SN6f) that cross-reacts with mouse endothelial cells. Such cross-reactive anti-EDG mAbs have not been reported previously. This mAb was used to target tumor-associated vasculature in SCID mice inoculated with human tumors. No anti-EDG mAb or its immunoconjugates have previously been successfully used for targeting vasculature in vivo. In this study, MCF-7 human breast cancer cells were inoculated s.c. into SCID mice. K4-2C10 did not react with the MCF-7 cells but showed a weak reactivity with mouse endothelial cells. The mAb reacted with the proliferating endothelial cells more strongly than with the quiescent endothelial cells. The mAb exhibited much stronger reactivity (>10-fold) with human endothelial cells than with mouse endothelial cells and reacted strongly with vascular endothelium of tumor-associated blood vessels in a variety of human malignant tissues. Conjugates of K4-2C10 with ricin A chain (RA) and deglycosylated ricin A chain (dgRA) showed a weak but specific cytotoxic activity against murine endothelial cells in vitro; the 50% inhibitory dose of the RA and dgRA conjugates was 54 nm and 29 nm, respectively. Remarkable antitumor efficacy was observed when a small amount (a total of 60 microgram corresponding to 24% of the LD50 dose) of the dgRA conjugate was administered i.v. into SCID mice that had been inoculated s.c. with MCF-7. Unconjugated mAb K4-2C10 was not significantly effective in the inhibition of the tumor growth. The immunotoxin (IT) completely inhibited growth of the tumor in all of the treated mice (n = 8). Furthermore, similar antitumor efficacy was observed when the IT was administered i.v. into the tumor-inoculated SCID mice that had been pretreated with unconjugated K4-2C10 to block the potentially available weak binding sites of normal tissues. The strong therapeutic effects of the IT were reproduced in another set of therapeutic experiments. No significant side effects were observed in the mice. The differences in the tumor growth between the control group and the IT-treated groups were statistically significant. The IT showed antiangiogenic activity in the dorsal air sac method. The results indicate that K4-2C10 IT effectively treated the tumor-bearing mice by selectively inhibiting the tumor-associated blood vessels and by disrupting tumor-associated angiogenesis. The strong antitumor efficacy of the K4-2C10 IT is remarkable in view of the fact that K4-2C10 and its IT showed only a weak reactivity with mouse endothelial cells, and a relatively small amount of the IT was administered i.v. to treat s.c. tumors. We anticipate that the K4-2C10 IT will show much stronger antitumor efficacy and antiangiogenic activity in patients with solid tumors and other angiogenesis-associated diseases. The present results demonstrate for the first time that an anti-EDG mAb or its immunoconjugate can effectively target tumor-associated vasculature in vivo.

Abstract
Cytokines released from activated alveolar macrophages and T-lymphocytes affect the accumulation of monocyte-macrophage-lineage cells and therefore play an important role in the formation of sarcoid granuloma. Although it is likely that certain monokines and lymphokines are involved in the development of sarcoid granulomas, the evidence for this is not unequivocal. In an attempt to clear critical cytokines in the development and maintenance of sarcoid granuloma, we have measured the level of seven cytokine mRNA (TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8, TGF-beta, PDGF-B, IFN-gamma, and GM-CSF) in cells obtained by BAL from sarcoidosis patients and normal subjects. To detect cytokine mRNA, we employed a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. We report that the levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6, PDGF-B and GM-CSF mRNA were significantly increased in BAL cells from the patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis compared to controls. No significant differences were observed in the mRNA expression of IL-8, TGF-beta and IFN-gamma. A significant correlation of the expression of the mRNA levels of seven cytokines in the same patients with sarcoidosis was observed between IL-8 and TNF-alpha, PDGF-B, and IL-6, IL-8 and IL-6 and TFN-alpha and PDGF-B and IL-8. This finding indicates that at least these four cytokines are involved in the cytokine network at the local alveolar site of chronic granulomatous inflammation. This study adds a report to the literature that supports a role for cytokine, TNF-alpha, IL-6, PDGF and GM-CSF in particular, in the promotion and maintenance of sarcoid granulomatous inflammation.

Abstract
We describe a two-dimensional reconstruction method for tangential magnetocardiograms (MCGs). This method is based on two-dimensional Fourier analysis, and we used a new type of window function for tangential MCG to solve the problem of the small number of measurement points. By using this method, cardiac activity can be estimated as a two-dimensional current distribution. To determine the effectiveness of this method, we measured tangential MCGs of normal subjects, and compared the estimated current distribution with the actual cardiac muscle activity. Using this method, we were able to clearly show cardiac activity.
