Abstract
BACKGROUND The self-monitoring of physical activity is an effective strategy for promoting active lifestyles. However, accurately assessing physical activity remains challenging in certain situations. This study evaluates a novel floor-vibration monitoring system to quantify housework-related physical activity. OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess the validity of step-count and physical behavior intensity predictions of a novel floor-vibration monitoring system in comparison with the actual number of steps and indirect calorimetry measurements. The accuracy of the predictions is also compared with that of research-grade devices (ActiGraph GT9X). METHODS The Ocha-House, located in Tokyo, serves as an independent experimental facility equipped with high-sensitivity accelerometers installed on the floor to monitor vibrations. Dedicated data processing software was developed to analyze floor-vibration signals and calculate 3 quantitative indices: floor-vibration quantity, step count, and moving distance. In total, 10 participants performed 4 different housework-related activities, wearing ActiGraph GT9X monitors on both the waist and wrist for 6 minutes each. Concurrently, floor-vibration data were collected, and the energy expenditure was measured using the Douglas bag method to determine the actual intensity of activities. RESULTS Significant correlations (P<.001) were found between the quantity of floor vibrations, the estimated step count, the estimated moving distance, and the actual activity intensities. The step-count parameter extracted from the floor-vibration signal emerged as the most robust predictor (r2=0.82; P<.001). Multiple regression models incorporating several floor-vibration-extracted parameters showed a strong association with actual activity intensities (r2=0.88; P<.001). Both the step-count and intensity predictions made by the floor-vibration monitoring system exhibited greater accuracy than those of the ActiGraph monitor. CONCLUSIONS Floor-vibration monitoring systems seem able to produce valid quantitative assessments of physical activity for selected housework-related activities. In the future, connected smart home systems that integrate this type of technology could be used to perform continuous and accurate evaluations of physical behaviors throughout the day.

Abstract
Assisted reproductive technology is a viable option for pregnant women with chronic myeloid leukemia. We herein report the case of a patient who underwent successful fertility treatment with frozen embryo preservation at 36 years of age, followed by embryo transfer at 39 years of age, thus resulting in pregnancy and delivery after a third discontinuation of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). Despite the difficulty of long-term TKI withdrawal, the patient's strong desire for a baby led to a successful pregnancy and delivery with no apparent deformities or abnormalities. Thus, our case highlights the importance of collaboration between reproductive medicine physicians and hematologists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The pocket-creation method (PCM) was developed to overcome the technical difficulties of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), although opening the pocket remains challenging. We developed a novel technique of PCM with single-clip traction (PCM-CT), which uses a reopenable clip as a traction device to maintain stability during the procedure. No prospective study has compared the efficacy of PCM-CT and PCM. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of PCM-CT vs. PCM in a randomized controlled trial. METHODS This randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted at four Japanese institutions. Patients with superficial colorectal neoplastic lesions were included following Japanese guidelines for colorectal cancer. Seven moderately experienced endoscopists performed the ESD procedures using either PCM-CT or PCM. RESULTS 100 patients were enrolled in the study. Compared with PCM, PCM-CT achieved significantly faster mean (SD) dissection speed (21.4 [10.8] vs. 27.0 [14.5] mm2/min [95%CI 0.5 to 10.7], P = 0.03), and reduced the mean procedure time (81.8 [57.9] vs. 64.8 [47.6] minutes [95%CI -38.2 to 4.3], P = 0.12) and pocket-opening time (37.8 [33.0] vs. 30.0 [28.9] minutes [95%CI -20.2 to 4.6], P = 0.22). En bloc and R0 resection rates were not significantly different between the two groups (100% vs. 100%, P >0.99; 100% vs. 96%, P = 0.50, respectively). No significant differences were observed in adverse events between the two groups. CONCLUSION ESD facilitated by the novel PCM-CT method appeared to be significantly faster than PCM. Both methods achieved high R0 resection rates.

Abstract
Oxomollugin is a degraded product of mollugin and was found to be an active compound that inhibits LPS-induced NF-κB activation. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory activity of oxomollugin, focusing on TLR4 signaling pathway, resulting in NF-κB activation. Oxomollugin inhibited the LPS-induced association of essential factors for initial activation of TLR4 signaling, MyD88, IRAK4 and TRAF6. Furthermore, oxomollugin showed suppressive effects on LPS-induced modification of IRAK1, IRAK2 and TRAF6, LPS-induced association of TRAF6-TAK1/TAB2, and followed by IKKα/β phosphorylation, which critical in signal transduction leading to LPS-induced NF-κB activation. The consistent results suggested that oxomollugin inhibits LPS-induced NF-κB activation via the suppression against signal transduction in TLR4 signaling pathway.The activities of oxomollugin reported in this study provides a deeper understanding on biological activity of mollugin derivatives as anti-inflammatory compounds.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Various biomarkers have been developed and evaluated to predict the prognosis and complications of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Most previous studies conducted on different biomarkers evaluated single effects such as those associated with inflammation, immunology, iron metabolism, and nutrition, and only a few studies have comprehensively analyzed markers. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to survey comprehensive multiple markers prior to HCT and extract those that significantly predict the outcomes. STUDY DESIGN A prospective multicenter observational study was performed. (UMIN000013506) Patients undergoing HCT for hematologic diseases were consecutively enrolled. Besides the usual clinical biomarkers, serum samples for extra-clinical biomarkers were collected and cryopreserved before starting the conditioning regimen. A total of 32 candidate biomarkers were selected, 23 from hematology, biochemistry, immunology, nutrition, and iron metabolism, and 9 from composite markers. Based on the area under the curve (AUC) values for survival, promising biomarkers was extracted. Internal validation for these markers was applied based on bootstrap methods. Setting the cut-off values for them, log-rank test was applied and outcomes including overall survival (OS), relapse, and non-relapse mortality (NRM) were evaluated using multivariate analyses. Furthermore, detailed analysis including transplant-related complications and external validation were conducted focusing on C-reactive protein (CRP) to platelet (Plt) ratio. RESULTS A total of 152 patients with hematologic malignancies were enrolled from April 2014 to March 2017. CRP, soluble interleukin-2 receptor (IL2R), CRP to albumin (Alb) ratio, CRP to Plt ratio, Plt to IL2R ratio, and IL2R to Alb ratio were identified as promising markers. Internal validation successfully confirmed their reliability of AUC and multivariate analysis demonstrated the statistical significance between the higher and the lower markers. Above all, a higher CRP to Plt ratio was significantly associated with a lower OS (hazard ratio [HR] 2.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.30-5.91; P = 0.008) and higher non-relapse mortality rates (HR 2.79; 95%CI 1.14-6.80; P = 0.024) at 180 days. Furthermore, univariate analysis showed that a higher CRP to Plt ratio was significantly associated with a higher incidence of sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (P < 0.001) and bloodstream infection (P = 0.027). An external validation test confirmed the significance of the CRP to Plt ratio for these outcomes. CONCLUSION The multicenter prospective observational study successfully identified significant biomarkers in patients with hematologic malignancies who received HCT. In particular, CRP to Plt ratio was identified as a novel and useful biomarker for predicting transplant outcomes. Further investigations are needed to validate the novel markers, analysis of the pathophysiology, and application to treatment settings other than HCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonobstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) can identify vulnerable plaques in the aortic lumen that serve as potential risk factors for cardiovascular events such as embolism. However, the association between computed tomography (CT) images and vulnerable plaques detected on NOGA remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated 101 patients (67±11 years; women, 13.8%) who underwent NOGA and contrast-enhanced CT before or after 90 days in our hospital. On CT images, the aortic wall thickness, aortic wall area (AWA), and AWA in the vascular area were measured at the thickest point from the 6th to the 12th thoracic vertebral levels. Furthermore, the association between these measurements and the presence or absence of NOGA-derived aortic plaque ruptures (PRs) at the same vertebral level was assessed. NOGA detected aortic PRs in the aortic lumens at 145 (22.1%) of the 656 vertebral levels. The presence of PRs was significantly associated with greater aortic wall thickness (3.3±1.7 mm versus 2.1±1.2 mm), AWA (1.33±0.68 cm2 versus 0.89±0.49 cm2), and AWA in the vascular area (23.2%±9.3% versus 17.2%±7.6%) (P<0.001 for all) on the CT scans compared with the absence of PRs. The frequency of PRs significantly increased as the aortic wall thickness increased. Notably, a few NOGA-derived PRs were detected on CT in near-normal intima. CONCLUSIONS The presence of NOGA-derived PRs was strongly associated with increased aortic wall thickness, AWA, and AWA in the vascular area, measured using CT. NOGA can detect PRs in the intima that appear almost normal on CT scans.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Clinically significant cytomegalovirus infection (csCMVi) is frequently observed after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and prophylaxis with letermovir is commonly adopted. However, the clinical benefit of letermovir prophylaxis according to graft sources has not been sufficiently elucidated. We retrospectively analyzed 2194 recipients of HSCT who were CMV-seropositive (236 with letermovir prophylaxis and 1958 without prophylaxis against CMV). csCMVi was significantly less frequent in patients with letermovir prophylaxis than in those without (23.7% vs 58.7% at 100 days after HSCT, P < .001) and the same trend was seen when recipients of bone marrow (BM), peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC), or cord blood (CB) transplantation were separately analyzed. In recipients of BM, nonrelapse mortality (NRM) was significantly lower in the letermovir group at 6 months after HSCT (5.0% vs 14.9%, P = .018), and the same trend was observed in recipients of PBSCs (14.7% vs 24.8%, P = .062); however, there was no statistical significance at 1 year (BM, 21.1% vs 30.4%, P = .67; PBSCs, 21.2% vs 30.4%, P = .096). In contrast, NRM was comparable between recipients of CB with and without letermovir prophylaxis throughout the clinical course (6 months, 23.6% vs 24.3%, P =.92; 1 year, 29.3% vs 31.0%, P = .77), which was confirmed by multivariate analyses. In conclusion, the impact of letermovir prophylaxis on NRM and csCMVi should be separately considered according to graft sources.

Abstract
This case illustrates the complex interactions of the immune responses after vaccination and highlights their potential connections to various autoimmune conditions. A 22-year-old man with quiescent ulcerative colitis (UC) presented with abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, and thrombocytopenia 7 days after receiving the third coronavirus disease 2019 mRNA vaccination. Laboratory data confirmed the diagnosis of immune thrombocytopenia. High-dose intravenous immunoglobulin administration boosted the patient's platelet count. Simultaneously, colonoscopy revealed that his UC had relapsed. Although salazosulfapyridine briefly improved his symptoms, his stool frequency worsened one week later. The patient also developed pyoderma gangrenosum. Subsequent treatment with infliximab notably improved both pyoderma gangrenosum and UC.

Abstract
For the first time, details of the spatial and temporal acceptable evolution of the merging process of co-rotating electron vortices in a potential well are successfully captured using a "single-shot method" with a high temporal resolution of 10 µs. Four-electron filaments are trapped inside the Beam eXperiment-Upgrade linear trap [H. Himura, Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A 811, 100 (2016)] with a uniform axial magnetic field and co-axial multi-ring electrodes. Images of non-emitting electron filaments are captured using a high-speed camera with up to 1 000 000 fps, a microchannel plate, a fast-decay phosphor screen of which fluorescence duration is 0.15 µs, and a super fine metallic mesh with an open area ratio of 89%. Images captured every 10 µs clearly show the growth of multiple short-wave instabilities in the wing trailing electron vortices. The experimental methods and measurement techniques presented in this paper can contribute to revealing exactly how small vortices evolve into a large structure or turbulence in a potential well through complex processes.

Abstract
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an independent risk factor for stroke and systemic embolism. Cardiogenic and aortogenic emboli are causes of stroke or systemic embolism. Non-obstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) can be used to diagnose aortic intimal findings, including thrombi and atherosclerotic plaques, but little is known about NOGA-derived aortic intimal findings in patients with AF. This study focused on aortic intimal findings in patients with AF and evaluated the association between AF and aortic thrombi detected using NOGA. We enrolled 283 consecutive patients with coronary artery disease who underwent NOGA of the aorta between January 2017 and August 2022. Aortic intimal findings were screened using NOGA after coronary arteriography. The patients were divided into two groups according to their AF history (AF, n = 50 and non-AF, n = 233). Patients in the AF group were older than those in the non-AF group. Sex, body mass index, and coronary risk factors were not significantly different between the two groups. In the NOGA findings, the presence of intense yellow plaques and ruptured plaques was not significantly different between the two groups. Aortic thrombi were more frequent in the AF group than in the non-AF group (92.0 vs. 71.6%, p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression found that AF was independently associated with aortic thrombi (odds ratio 3.87 [95% CI 1.28-11.6], p = 0.016). The presence of aortic thrombi observed using NOGA was associated with AF in patients with coronary artery disease. The roles of aortic thrombi as well as cardiogenic embolism may require clarification.

Abstract
Objective Although malignant lymphoma (ML) can occur in every organ, diagnosing cardiac involvement without cardiac manifestations is difficult. We therefore investigated the incidence of cardiac involvement in ML in our hospital and clarified the transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) findings of cardiac involvement. Methods Patients with ML referred to our hospital between January 2013 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients During the study period, 453 patients were identified. The mean age was 64.9 years old, and 54% of the patients were men. Results Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) was the most common lymphoma, followed by follicular lymphoma. Of the 453 patients, 394 (87.0%) underwent TTE at the initial diagnosis or during the clinical course. The performance rates of TTE in DLBCL, Hodgkin lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma were above 90%. Cardiac involvement was detected in 6 (five with DLBCL and one with B-cell lymphoma) (1.5%) of the 394 patients who underwent TTE. The involved lesions of the heart varied, and five patients had pericardial effusion. Five patients had a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. All patients were treated with chemotherapy, and some were treated with radiation and surgery. Conclusion Cardiac involvement was observed in six (1.5%) of the patients with ML who underwent TTE. B-cell lymphoma, especially DLBCL, is a common ML with cardiac involvement. Although five patients had pericardial effusion, the involved lesions of the heart were not uniform. TTE is a useful imaging modality to noninvasively and repeatedly evaluate the tumor characteristics, response to ML treatment, and cardiac function.

Abstract
The efficacy of high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) for central nervous system (CNS) relapse prophylaxis in patients with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is controversial. We compared the prophylactic effects of HD-MTX and intrathecal methotrexate (IT-MTX) on CNS relapse in high-risk DLBCL, in a multicenter retrospective study. A total of 132 patients with DLBCL at high risk of CNS relapse who received frontline chemotherapy and IT-MTX from 2003 to 2013 (n = 34) or HD-MTX from 2014 to 2020 (n = 98) were included. After a median follow-up of 52 months (range: 9-174), 11 patients had isolated CNS relapse: six (6.1%) in the HD-MTX group and five (14.7%) in the IT-MTX group. The median time until CNS relapse was 38 months (range: 11-122), and the cumulative incidence of CNS relapse at 3 years was 3.9% in the HD-MTX group and 6.1% in the IT-MTX group (P = 0.93). Similar results were obtained after adjusting for background factors using propensity score-matched analysis (4.5% HD-MTX vs. 7.6% IT-MTX, P = 0.84). The CNS relapse rate in HD-MTX-treated patients was equivalent to that in IT-MTX patients, demonstrating that HD-MTX was not superior to IT-MTX in preventing CNS relapse.

Abstract
The clinical implications of recipient bone marrow nucleated cell count (NCC) prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) remain unknown. We conducted a multicenter retrospective study to evaluate the clinical significance of bone marrow NCC prior to allo-HSCT in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Patients who were in remission and underwent the initial allo-HSCT were included and stratified into high- and low-NCC groups using an NCC of 10 × 104/µL as the cut-off. The 3-year overall survival (OS), non-relapse mortality (NRM), and relapse rates for the high- and low-NCC groups were 51.2 vs. 84.5% (p < 0.001), 27.5 vs. 6.5% (p < 0.001), and 31.1 vs. 24.4% (p = 0.322), respectively. The high-NCC group had significantly poorer OS and higher NRM when compared with the low-NCC group. In summary, high recipient bone marrow NCC is associated with higher NRM and lower OS following allo-HSCT.

Abstract
The CFA ratio, calculated using pretreatment C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, and albumin levels (CRP × fibrinogen/albumin), was previously reported to be a significant prognostic factor for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This multicenter retrospective study evaluated the prognostic value of the CFA ratio in 328 adult patients with newly diagnosed AML from April 2000 to March 2018. The median age was 49.5 years (range, 15-75 years), and 60.7% of the population were males. According to the European LeukemiaNet (ELN) risk classification, 67 patients (20.4%) were in the favorable-risk group, 197 patients (60.1%) in the intermediate-risk group, and 58 patients (17.7%) in the adverse-risk group. The median CFA ratio was 1.07 (0-67.69). Based on the calculated cutoff CFA ratio of 1.44, the cohort included 176 and 152 patients with low and high CFA ratios, respectively. At a median follow-up of 91.2 months, the 7-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 51.2% and 48.6%, respectively, in the overall cohort. The 7-year OS rates were 61.7% and 39.0% in the low and high CFA ratio groups, respectively (p < 0.001). The 7-year DFS rates were 58.1% and 37.0% in the low and high CFA ratio groups, respectively (p = 0.004). In univariate analysis, age ≥50 years, male sex, ELN risk class, and comorbidities were associated with poor OS. Age, ELN risk class, comorbidities, and high CFA ratio were associated with poor OS in multivariate analysis. Subgroup analysis revealed that the CFA ratio was significant in the intermediate and adverse ELN risk classes. These findings indicate the prognostic significance of the CFA ratio in AML.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infections related to joint prosthesis are still a major concern for orthopedic surgeons. Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a useful biocompatible material because of its good osteocompatibility. Antibacterial HA coatings have been fabricated with addition of antibacterial agents such as Ag to HA using the plasma spraying method. However, the plasma-sprayed HA coating suffers from fractures at large thicknesses. The sputter-coated HA thin film has a high density, and has been applied clinically for dental implants. However, there are no extensive studies on Ag-containing HA thin films. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to prepare an Ag-containing HA thin film by sputtering, and evaluate its antibacterial effect and cytotoxicity. METHODS The Ag-containing HA thin films were prepared by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The films were characterized using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The antibacterial activities and cytotoxicities of the films were also evaluated. RESULTS The Ag/Ca molar ratio of the films increased with the Ag ratio in the target. The SEM observation of the hydrothermally treated films showed surfaces covered with globular particles. All Ag-containing HA films exhibited an antibacterial effect against E. Coli. The number of cells of the films decreased with the Ag ratio. The films subjected to the hydrothermal treatment exhibited a higher number of cells than the as-sputtered films. CONCLUSION The Ag-containing HA thin film was effective in terms of antibacterial effect, and had a low cytotoxicity in the proliferation of osteoblast cells at a low Ag ratio in the target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is an effective treatment for inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, with good results reported for residual pulmonary hypertension (PH) after pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). However, BPA is associated with complications, such as pulmonary artery perforation and vascular injury, which can lead to critical pulmonary hemorrhage requiring embolization and mechanical ventilation. Furthermore, the risk factors for occurrence of complications in BPA are unclear; therefore, this study aimed to evaluate predictors of procedural complications in BPA. METHODS In this retrospective study, we collected clinical data (patient characteristics, details of medical therapy, hemodynamic parameters, and details of the BPA procedure) from 321 consecutive sessions involving 81 patients who underwent BPA. Procedural complications were evaluated as endpoints. RESULTS BPA for residual PH after PEA was performed in 141 sessions (43.9 %), which involved 37 patients. Procedural complications were observed in 79 sessions (24.6 %), including severe pulmonary hemorrhage requiring embolization in 29 sessions (9.0 % of all sessions). No patients experienced severe complications requiring intubation with mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Age ≥ 75 years and mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥ 30 mmHg were independent predictors of procedural complications. Residual PH after PEA was a significant predictor of severe pulmonary hemorrhage requiring embolization (adjusted odds ratio, 3.048; 95 % confidence interval, 1.042-8.914, p = 0.042). CONCLUSIONS Older age, high pulmonary artery pressure, and residual PH after PEA increase the risk of severe pulmonary hemorrhage requiring embolization in BPA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current guidelines recommend treating choledocholithiasis, regardless of symptoms or stone size, with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). However, asymptomatic choledocholithiasis, discovered incidentally on imaging, may carry a higher risk of ERCP-related adverse events, and some asymptomatic and diminutive stones may not cause biliary adverse events during extended follow-up. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the best treatment strategies for asymptomatic choledocholithiasis based on stone size. METHODS We retrospectively identified patients with incidental imaging-found asymptomatic diminutive (≤ 4 mm) or non-diminutive (> 4 mm) choledocholithiasis and divided them into two groups: those who did not undergo ERCP and were treated when complications arose (on-demand group) and those who underwent ERCP before being symptomatic (intervention group). Adverse events were defined as any biliary or pancreatic complication related to ERCP or arising during observation or after intervention. The primary outcome was the adjusted overall adverse event-free survival using the propensity score-based matching weights method comparing the two groups of stone size. RESULTS Among 148 patients identified (median follow-up period, 969 days), 68 had diminutive stones and 80 had non-diminutive stones. Of the 68 patients with diminutive stones, 51 were in the on-demand group and 17 in the intervention group. The overall adjusted adverse event-free survival was significantly higher in the on-demand group for diminutive stones (97.4% and 70.1%, respectively, at 3 years; p = 0.01). DISCUSSION Patients with incidental imaging-detected asymptomatic diminutive choledocholithiasis may benefit from clinical observation, pursuing ERCP when symptoms develop.

Abstract
A germline chimera is a useful model for developing and differentiating germ cells in vivo. Gonadal germ cells (GGCs) collected from chicken embryonic gonads may be used to produce germline chimeras as donor cells. However, the migratory and proliferative abilities of GGCs after transfer into recipient embryos are unclear. Here, the migratory and proliferative abilities of GGCs collected from 7-day-old White Leghorn embryos and fluorescently labeled were analyzed following transfer into the dorsal aorta of 2.5-day-old Rhode Island Red (RIR) embryos. Five days after transfer, the numbers of male and female GGCs were significantly higher in the RIR gonads than those in non-gonadal RIR organs when 50 GGCs were transferred per embryo. To analyze the temporal migration of GGCs in intermediate mesoderm, 50 GGCs were again transferred. The numbers of male and female GGCs in RIR gonads increased significantly from days 3 to 6 after transfer. To analyze GGC migration and proliferation in the gonads, a single GGC was transferred into 100 male and 100 female embryos. Five days after transfer, the frequencies of settled and proliferated GGCs were 37% (37/100) and 24% (24/100) in males, and 23% (23/100) and 8% (8/100) in females, respectively. Thus, GGCs are a heterogeneous cell population that may or may not have migratory and proliferative abilities. The heterogeneity of GGCs may be greater in females than that in males. When 50 GGCs were transplanted, almost all those present in embryos had settled and proliferated in the gonads and mesonephros. The migratory and proliferative abilities of GGCs in recipient gonads were considerably diverse in individual GGCs or between donor sexes.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to examine the clinical role of non-gated computed tomography (CT) in ruling out fatal chest pain in patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), with a focus on the time of arrival at the hospital to coronary angiography (CAG) and peak creatine kinase (CK) levels. Methods We retrospectively examined 196 NSTE-ACS patients who were admitted with urgently diagnosed NSTE-ACS and underwent percutaneous coronary intervention between March 2019 and October 2022. The patients were divided into three groups, namely, non-CT group, CT and defect- group, and CT and defect+ group, based on whether they underwent a CT scan and the presence or absence of perfusion defects on the CT image. Results After the initial admission for NSTE-ACS, 40 patients (20.4%) underwent non-gated CT prior to CAG. Among these 40 patients, 27 had a perfusion defect on the CT scan. The incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy was not different among the three groups. The CT and defect+ group had a shorter arrival-to-CAG time than that of the non-CT group. In NSTE-ACS patients with elevated CK levels, the CT and defect+ group had lower peak CK levels than those in the non-CT group. Conclusion NSTE-ACS patients with perfusion defects on non-gated CT had a shorter time from arrival to CAG, which might be associated with a lower peak CK. Non-gated CT might be useful for early diagnosis and early revascularization in the clinical setting of NSTE-ACS.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Most studies of vertebral compression fracture (VCF) caused by stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) do not mention the symptoms. We aimed herein to determine the rate and prognostic factors of painful VCF caused by SBRT for spinal metastasis. MATERIALS/METHODS Between August 2013 and December 2021, spinal segments with VCF were retrospectively identified in patients treated with spine SBRT. Iatrogenic VCFs, excluding pathological fractures, were classified into a modified group and graded using CTCAE v5.0 as grade 1 (painless), grade 2 (mildly painful), or grade 3 (intensely painful, requiring hospitalization or surgery). The primary endpoint was the rate of painful VCF (grades 2-3). Moreover, various factors specific to the patient, tumor, and treatment were evaluated to determine their value in predicting the rate of painful VCF. RESULTS In total, 934 spinal segments in 387 patients were analyzed. The median follow-up after SBRT was 14 (range: 0-107) months. Sixty iatrogenic fractures (6.4%) comprising 31 de novo fractures and 29 existing VCF progressions were identified. The patients' median age was 68 (range: 38-79) years, and 31 (52%) spinal segments had a history of radiotherapy. Grade 1, 2, and 3 VCFs were confirmed in 41, four, and 15 segments, respectively. The rate of grade 3 VCF was 2.0% (19 / 934) of the spinal segments treated with SBRT. Eight (0.9%) VCFs required surgery for stabilization or decompression of spinal canal stenosis. None of the 17 VCFs treated with posterior decompression and fixation before SBRT developed into a painful VCF. On univariate analysis, the painful VCF rate was significantly higher in patients with no posterolateral tumor involvement than in those with bilateral or unilateral involvement (56.3% vs 22.7%; p = 0.026). Other spinal instability neoplastic score (SINS) components (Location, Pain, Bone lesion, Alignment, Vertebral body collapse), SINS (Stable/ Potentially unstable vs Unstable), age, number of spinal levels, radiation history, existing VCF, and interval between SBRT and VCF showed no significant correlation with painful VCF. CONCLUSION Although VCF is a known adverse effect of spine SBRT, 68% of the cases examined were painless (grade 1). Intensely painful VCFs (grade 3) were confirmed in only 1.6% of all the treated spinal segments. The absence of posterolateral tumor involvement was significantly associated with painful VCF.

Abstract
VEXAS (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) syndrome is a new disease entity with autoinflammatory disorders (AID) driven by somatic variants in UBA1 that frequently co-exists with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). Clinicopathological and molecular features of Japanese cases with VEXAS-associated MDS remain elusive. We previously reported high prevalence of UBA1 variants in Japanese patients with relapsing polychondritis, in which 5 cases co-occurred with MDS. Here, we report clinicopathological and variant profiles of these 5 cases and 2 additional cases of MDS associated with VEXAS syndrome. Clinical characteristics of these cases included high prevalence of macrocytic anemia with marked cytoplasmic vacuoles in myeloid/erythroid precursors and low bone marrow (BM) blast percentages. All cases were classified as low or very low risk by the revised international prognostic scoring system (IPSS-R). Notably, 4 out of 7 cases showed significant improvement of anemia by treatment with prednisolone (PSL) or cyclosporin A (CsA), suggesting that an underlying inflammatory milieu induced by VEXAS syndrome may aggravate macrocytic anemia in VEXAS-associated MDS. Targeted deep sequencing of blood samples suggested that MDS associated with VEXAS syndrome tends to involve a smaller number of genes and lower risk genetic lesions than classical MDS.

Abstract
Metastatic pancreatic cancer is a rare condition and cases of pancreatic metastasis from cervical cancer are infrequently reported. Furthermore, the incidence rates of pancreatic tumors as the cause of pancreatitis and of pancreatitis in patients with pancreatic tumors are similarly low. Pancreatitis may occur when a tumor obstructs the pancreatic duct. This condition may be difficult to manage and significantly reduces the quality of life because of severe abdominal pain. Here, we present a rare case of obstructive pancreatitis caused by pancreatic metastasis from cervical squamous-cell carcinoma, pathologically confirmed using endoscopic ultrasonography-guided fine-needle biopsy and treated with palliative irradiation to achieve rapid therapeutic relief. It is important to obtain appropriate tissue samples, confirm the pathological diagnosis, and compare the pathological findings with those of the primary tumor to select the appropriate treatment for obstructive pancreatitis caused by a metastatic pancreatic tumor.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Although volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) boost can achieve highly conformal dose distributions for cervical cancer, VMAT has the disadvantage of requiring set-up and organ motion margins. This study prospectively recruited patients with the cervical cancer and compared VMAT plan with intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) plan. MATERIALS/METHODS All patients treated with ICBT for locally advanced cervical cancer between April 2020 and September 2022 were enrolled. Patients had whole-pelvis radiotherapy, followed by CT scans with and without the tandem and ovoid in the same session (for the planning of ICBT and VMAT, respectively). ICBT planning characterizes the high-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTV) as the target volume and the bladder, rectum, sigmoid colon and small bowel loop as the organ at risk (OAR). VMAT planning defines the HR-CTV + 3 mm as the target volume and bladder, rectum + 3 mm (planning organ at risk volume (PRV) rectum), sigmoid colon + 3 mm (PRV sigmoid) and bowel bag as the OAR to account for set-up and organ motion. ICBT and VMAT plans were optimized for maximal dose received by at least 90% (D90%) of the target volume without impairing the dose constraints for the OARs. The prescribed dose (PD) was 26 Gy in 4 fractions. The dose constraints were determined as 25.2 Gy for D2 ml in the bladder and 20 Gy for D2 ml in the other OARs. The D90% and D100% of the target volume and D2 ml of OARs were compared between 2 plans using paired two-tailed Student's t test. RESULTS Seventeen patients were enrolled. Dose and volume parameters for the 2 plans are shown in Table 1. Of the 17 patients, D90% of the target volume received 100% PD in 4 cases with ICBT plans, in 6 cases for VMAT plans, and in 2 cases with both methods. For D90% of the target volume, ICBT plans were greater than VMAT plans in 4 cases, with a maximum difference of 5.6 Gy (ICBT: 26.0 Gy, SBRT: 20.4 Gy). VMAT plans were higher than ICBT plans in 11 cases, with a maximum difference of 10.3 Gy (ICBT: 14.5 Gy, SBRT: 24.8 Gy). The dose-limiting OARs to attain D90% of target volume were bladder in 12 cases and small bowel loop in 1 case for ICBT plans, while PRV rectum in 11 cases, PRV sigmoid in 4 cases and bowel bag in 1 case for VMAT plans. CONCLUSION This prospective study with 17 ICBT-eligible patients revealed D90% of the target volume demonstrated no substantial difference between VMAT and ICBT plans, while D100% showed a significant increase in VMAT plan compared to ICBT plan. Even with a set-up and organ motion margins on the HR-CTV and OARs, VMAT may have a dosimetric advantage over ICBT if the target geometry is complicated and close to the OARs.

Abstract
The T2K experiment presents new measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters using 19.7 ( 16.3 ) × 10 20 protons on target (POT) in (anti-)neutrino mode at the far detector (FD). Compared to the previous analysis, an additional 4.7 × 10 20 POT neutrino data was collected at the FD. Significant improvements were made to the analysis methodology, with the near-detector analysis introducing new selections and using more than double the data. Additionally, this is the first T2K oscillation analysis to use NA61/SHINE data on a replica of the T2K target to tune the neutrino flux model, and the neutrino interaction model was improved to include new nuclear effects and calculations. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses are presented, including results on sin 2 θ 13 and the impact of priors on the δ CP measurement. Both analyses prefer the normal mass ordering and upper octant of sin 2 θ 23 with a nearly maximally CP-violating phase. Assuming the normal ordering and using the constraint on sin 2 θ 13 from reactors, sin 2 θ 23 = 0 . 561 - 0.032 + 0.021 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and Δ m 32 2 = 2 . 494 - 0.058 + 0.041 × 10 - 3 eV 2 using constant Δ χ 2 intervals. The CP-violating phase is constrained to δ CP = - 1 . 97 - 0.70 + 0.97 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and δ CP = 0 , π is excluded at more than 90% confidence level. A Jarlskog invariant of zero is excluded at more than 2 σ credible level using a flat prior in δ CP , and just below 2 σ using a flat prior in sin δ CP . When the external constraint on sin 2 θ 13 is removed, sin 2 θ 13 = 28 . 0 - 6.5 + 2.8 × 10 - 3 , in agreement with measurements from reactor experiments. These results are consistent with previous T2K analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Walled-off necrosis (WON) is a late complication of acute pancreatitis possibly with a fatal outcome. Even for WON spreading to the retroperitoneal space, percutaneous endoscopic necrosectomy (PEN) can be an alternate approach to surgical necrosectomy, particularly for the older individuals or patients with poor condition because of WON. CASE SUMMARY An 88-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a jaundice. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) was performed to improve jaundice; however, post-ERCP pancreatitis developed. The inflammation of pancreatitis spread widely from the right retroperitoneal cavity to the pelvis, and WON was formed 4 wk later. A percutaneous drainage tube was placed into the WON under computed tomography guidance. However, the drainage did not ameliorate clinical symptoms including fever, which assured less invasive necrosectomy. A metallic stent for the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract was placed from the percutaneous drainage route. An upper GI endoscope was inserted into the inside of the WON through the metallic stent, and the necrotic tissues were bluntly removed with a snare forceps. Ten times of these necrosectomies resulted in the near-complete removal of necrotic tissues. These procedures consequently abated his fever and remarkable improvement in blood tests. CONCLUSION PEN for WON occurring in the retroperitoneal space was safe and effective for very old individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Differentiation of colorectal cancers (CRCs) with deep submucosal invasion (T1b) from CRCs with superficial invasion (T1a) or no invasion (Tis) is not straightforward. This study aimed to develop a computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) system to establish the diagnosis of early-stage cancers using nonmagnified endoscopic white-light images alone. METHODS From 5108 images, 1513 lesions (Tis, 1074; T1a, 145; T1b, 294) were collected from 1470 patients at 10 academic hospitals and assigned to training and testing datasets (3:1). The ResNet-50 network was used as the backbone to extract features from images. Oversampling and focal loss were used to compensate class imbalance of the invasive stage. Diagnostic performance was assessed using the testing dataset including 403 CRCs with 1392 images. Two experts and 2 trainees read the identical testing dataset. RESULTS At a 90% cutoff for the per-lesion score, CADx showed the highest specificity of 94.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 91.3-96.6), with 59.8% (95% CI, 48.3-70.4) sensitivity and 87.3% (95% CI, 83.7-90.4) accuracy. The area under the characteristic curve was 85.1% (95% CI, 79.9-90.4) for CADx, 88.2% (95% CI, 83.7-92.8) for expert 1, 85.9% (95% CI, 80.9-90.9) for expert 2, 77.0% (95% CI, 71.5-82.4) for trainee 1 (vs CADx; P = .0076), and 66.2% (95% CI, 60.6-71.9) for trainee 2 (P < .0001). The function was also confirmed on 9 short videos. CONCLUSIONS A CADx system developed with endoscopic white-light images showed excellent per-lesion specificity and accuracy for T1b lesion diagnosis, equivalent to experts and superior to trainees.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Wire-guided cannulation (WGC) during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a selective biliary cannulation technique aimed at improving the successful selective biliary cannulation rate and reducing the rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) incidence. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of angled-tip guidewires (AGW) vs. straight-tip guidewires (SGW) for biliary cannulation via WGC by a trainee. METHODS We conducted a prospective, single-center, open-labeled, randomized, and controlled trial. Fifty-seven patients were enrolled in this study and assigned randomly to two groups (Group A to S and Group S to A). In this study, we started selective biliary cannulation via WGC with an AGW or an SGW for 7 min. If cannulation was unsuccessful, the other guidewire was used, and cannulation was continued for another 7 min (cross-over method). RESULTS The selective biliary cannulation success rate over 14 min was significantly higher with an AGW compared with an SGW over 14 min (57.8% vs. 34.3%, p = 0.04) and for the second 7-min segment (36.4% vs. 0%, p = 0.04). No significant difference was found for adverse events such as pancreatitis between the two guidewires. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that an AGW is recommended for WGC performed by a trainee.

Abstract
Objectives Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) of colorectal lesions was invented in Japan, but postoperative management including hospital stay has not been reconsidered due to the Japanese insurance system. To explore appropriate postoperative management after colorectal ESD, we reviewed short‐term outcomes after ESD in non‐selected consecutive patients. Methods Patients who underwent colorectal ESD from April 2013 to September 2020 in one institution were reviewed. The primary outcome measure was the occurrence of adverse events stratified by the Clavien‐Dindo classification with five grades. A logistic regression model with the Firth procedure was applied to investigate predictors of severe (grade III or greater) adverse events. Results A total of 330 patients (female 40%, male 60%; median 72 years; IQR 65–80 years) with colorectal lesions (median 30 mm, IQR 23–40 mm; colon 77%, rectum 23%; serrated lesion 4%, adenoma 47%, mucosal cancer 30%, invasive cancer 18%) was evaluated. The en bloc resection rate was 97%. The median dissection time was 58 min (IQR: 38–86). Intraprocedural perforation occurred in 3%, all successfully treated by endoscopic clipping. No delayed perforations occurred. Postprocedural bleeding occurred in 3% on days 1–10 (median day 2); all were controlled endoscopically. Severe adverse events included only delayed bleeding. In analyzing severe adverse events in a multivariate logistic regression model with the Firth procedure, antithrombotic agent use (p = 0.016) and rectal lesions (p = 0.0010) were both significant predictors. Conclusions No serious adverse events occurred in this series. Four days of hospitalization may be too long for the majority of patients after ESD.

Abstract
Inelastic x-ray scattering measurements have been carried out to investigate atomic dynamics in a melt of fast phase change material GeCu2Te3. The dynamic structure factor was analysed using the model function with three damped harmonic oscillator components. By investigating the correlation between the excitation energy and the linewidth, and that between the excitation energy and the intensity on contour maps of a relative approximate probability distribution function proportional toexp(-χ2/N), we could judge the reliability of each inelastic excitation in the dynamic structure factor. The results indicate that there are two inelastic excitation modes besides the longitudinal acoustic one in the liquid. The lower energy excitation could be assigned to the transverse acoustic one whereas the higher energy one disperses like fast sound. The latter result may imply that the liquid ternary alloy exhibits a microscopic phase separation tendency.

Abstract
Fostamatinib, a spleen tyrosine kinase inhibitor, has been approved for the treatment of chronic primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in the United States, Canada and some European countries. We conducted a phase 3, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fostamatinib in Japanese patients with primary ITP. Thirty-four patients were randomised to fostamatinib (n = 22) or placebo (n = 12) at 100-150 mg twice a day for 24 weeks. Stable responses (platelet ≥50 000/μl at ≥4 of the 6 visits from weeks 14 to 24) were observed in eight (36%) patients on fostamatinib and in none of the patients on placebo (p = 0.030). Overall responses (platelet ≥50 000/μl at ≥1 of the 6 visits from weeks 2 to 12) were seen in 10 (45%) patients on fostamatinib and in none of the patients on placebo (p = 0.006). Patients on fostamatinib required rescue medication less often and experienced fewer bleeding symptoms than patients on placebo. Adverse events observed were mild or moderate and were manageable. No new safety signals were identified in Japanese patients with ITP.

Background
Transcatheter left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) provides an alternative to oral anticoagulation for thromboembolic risk reduction in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). A meta-analysis of previous two randomized trials reported improved rates of hemorrhagic stroke, cardiovascular/unexplained death, and nonprocedural bleeding compared to warfarin (1). Recently, the next-generation LAAC device, the Watchman FLX system, became available, and showed a low incidence of adverse events and a high incidence of anatomic closure (2). This transcatheter stroke prevention has already been approved in Asian countries. However, there is little data of LAAC in Asian population.
Purpose
This study sought to assess efficacy and safety of LAAC for patients with nonvalvular AF in Asia.
Methods
The TERMINATOR (Transcatheter Modification of Left Atrial Appendage by Obliteration with Device) registry is a multicenter nonrandomized study in Japan. This enrolled patients who underwent LAAC in 23 Japanese institutions. The LAAC was indicated for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in whom oral anticoagulation is required, but who have a risk of bleeding (history of BARC type 3 bleeding or HAS-BLED score ≥3 points). Baseline patient and procedural characteristics and clinical outcomes were evaluated.
Results
A total of 729 patients were enrolled between September 2019 and November 2021. The mean age was 74.9±8.8 years and the mean CHA2DS2-VASc score was 4.7±1.5. The Watchman generation 2.5 and FLX system were used in 469 (64.3%) and 260 patients (35.7%), respectively. Procedural success was achieved in 722 patients (99.0%). In-hospital adverse events were as follows; 6 tamponades (0.8%), 3 pericardial effusion (0.4%), 2 device embolization (0.3%), no stroke (0%), and no death (0%). During follow-up, device-related thrombus and all-cause death were reported in 16 (2.2%) and 23 patients (3.2%), respectively.
Conclusions
LAAC with the Watchman system provides compatible efficacy and safety outcomes in Asian population.

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

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a widely used treatment for early gastrointestinal cancer. However, colon ESD remains challenging. Previous studies on colon ESD using the traction method used a small sample, single-center design, providing insufficient evidence of this procedure's efficacy. We thus aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of the traction method in colon ESD in this multicenter randomized trial. METHODS We conducted a prospective, multicenter, randomized, two-arm controlled trial at 10 facilities in Japan. A 1:1 allocation was conducted for the conventional ESD (C-ESD) and traction ESD (T-ESD) groups. The primary end-point was ESD procedure time. RESULTS We included 128 C-ESD and 123 T-ESD cases from April 2020 to August 2021. The median procedure times for C-ESD and T-ESD were 61 (40-100) and 53 (40-76) min (P = 0.18), respectively, and no significant differences were observed between the groups. Subgroup analysis showed that the median procedure times for patients with a lesion diameter of ≥30 mm in the C-ESD and T-ESD groups were 89 (57-80) and 69 (50-104) min (P = 0.05), respectively, and for nonexpert operators were 81 (62-120) and 64 (52-109) min (P = 0.07), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The traction method did not contribute to a significantly shortened ESD procedure time. However, this method may be useful when the tumor diameter is large or if the procedure is conducted by nonexpert endoscopists.

Abstract
A 59-year-old-woman complained of weight loss and abdominal pain. A CT scan revealed a 20 cm large retroperitoneal mass, and she was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma via biopsy of the mass. After 75% CHP therapy, she developed an acute abdomen and CT revealed generalized peritonitis. Amylase in the ascites fluid was elevated, and infiltration into the pancreas was suspected on CT before treatment, suggesting a pancreatic fistula caused by tumor shrinkage. Enterobacteria were found in ascites fluid culture, suggesting a gastrointestinal perforation complication. The patient was refractory to treatment, and death was confirmed due to progression of the primary disease. The pathological autopsy revealed diffuse pancreatic infiltration, suggesting that the pancreatic fistula was caused by pancreatic injury. Pancreatic fistula is a known complication of surgical procedures but is rarely caused by tumor shrinkage due to chemotherapy. Since there is no preventive method for pancreatic injury caused by tumor shrinkage, early diagnosis and early treatment of pancreatic fistula are critical, and ascites fluid analysis, including amylase, was thought to be useful for the diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Immune checkpoint blockade has recently been reported to be effective in treating microsatellite instability (MSI)-high tumors. Therefore, sufficient sampling of histological specimens is necessary in cases of unresectable pancreatic cancer (UR-PC). This multicenter study investigated the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle biopsy (EUS-FNB) using a Franseen needle for MSI evaluation in patients with UR-PC. METHODS A total of 89 patients with UR-PC who underwent endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) or EUS-FNB using 22-G needles at three hospitals in Japan (2018-2021) were enrolled. Fifty-six of these patients (FNB 23 and FNA 33) were followed up or evaluated for MSI. Patient characteristics, UR-PC data, and procedural outcomes were compared between patients who underwent EUS-FNB and those who underwent EUS-FNA. RESULTS No significant difference in terms of sufficient tissue acquisition for histology was observed between patients who underwent EUS-FNB and those who underwent EUS-FNA. MSI evaluation was possible significantly more with tissue samples obtained using EUS-FNB than with tissue samples obtained using EUS-FNA (82.6% [19/23] vs. 45.5% [15/33], respectively; p<0.01). In the multivariate analysis, EUS-FNB was the only significant factor influencing the possibility of MSI evaluation. CONCLUSION EUS-FNB using a Franseen needle is desirable for ensuring sufficient tissue acquisition for MSI evaluation.

Abstract
A 39-year-old woman with myotonic dystrophy (DM) presented with syncope and was diagnosed with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, clinical stage IA. PET-CT revealed an upper mediastinal mass with high FDG uptake (SUVmax, 14.8). She had muscle weakness associated with DM, but her performance status was preserved. She was treated with 6 cycles of dose-adjusted EPOCH-R therapy and localized irradiation for the residual mass, without severe adverse events or recurrence of syncope. Patients with DM should be monitored for cardiac events and muscle weakness when undergoing lymphoma treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute encephalopathy with biphasic seizures and late reduced diffusion (AESD) and mild encephalopathy associated with excitotoxicity (MEEX) are the most frequent acute encephalopathies in pediatric patients in Japan. AESD typically presents with biphasic seizures and delayed reduced diffusion in the subcortical area, called bright tree appearance (BTA), on radiological examination. In patients with AESD, arterial spin labeling (ASL) shows decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the hyperacute stage and increased CBF in the acute stage, suggesting the usefulness of ASL for the early diagnosis of AESD. Additionally, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) shows elevated glutamate (Glu) and glutamine (Gln) in AESD. MEEX is a group of mild encephalopathies with transient elevation of Gln on MRS similar to that in AESD; however, MEEX does not include any clinical biphasic course or abnormalities, including BTA on diffusion-weighted imaging. Although the usefulness of ASL for AESD has been reported, there are no reports for patients with MEEX. In this study, we report our experience with a 4-year-old girl diagnosed with MEEX who showed unique findings on ASL. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 4-year-old girl admitted to the emergency room with febrile status epilepticus. Considering the possibility of AESD, vitamin therapy was initiated. ASL-MR imaging (MRI) of the brain performed on the second day showed increased blood flow in the frontal, temporal, and occipital regions with spared central sulcus, which indicated AESD with central sparing. The patient was diagnosed with AESD, and the treatment included pulse steroid therapy and immunoglobulin therapy from day 3. The patient remained mildly unconscious but gradually became conscious by day 7 with no seizures. Brain MRI performed on day 8 did not show any characteristic AESD findings, such as BTA. Furthermore, MRS showed elevated Gln, which, along with the clinical course, led to the diagnosis of MEEX. The patient was discharged on day 16 without obvious sequelae. CONCLUSIONS ASL may be useful in the early diagnosis of MEEX as well as AESD, facilitating early intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE Computer-aided diagnosis systems for polyp characterization are commercially available but cannot recognize subtypes of sessile lesions. This study aimed to develop a computer-aided diagnosis system to characterize polyps using non-magnified white-light endoscopic images. METHODS A total of 2249 non-magnified white-light images from 1030 lesions including 534 tubular adenomas, 225 sessile serrated adenoma/polyps, and 271 hyperplastic polyps in the proximal colon were consecutively extracted from an image library and divided into training and testing datasets (4:1), based on the date of colonoscopy. Using ResNet-50 networks, we developed a classifier (1) to differentiate adenomas from serrated lesions, and another classifier (2) to differentiate sessile serrated adenoma/polyps from hyperplastic polyps. Diagnostic performance was assessed using the testing dataset. The computer-aided diagnosis system generated a probability score for each image, and a probability score for each lesion was calculated as the weighted mean with a log10-transformation. Two experts (E1, E2) read the identical testing dataset with a probability score. RESULTS The area under the curve of classifier (1) for adenomas was equivalent to E1 and superior to E2 (classifier 86%, E1 86%, E2 69%; classifier vs. E2, p < 0.001). In contrast, the area under the curve of classifier (2) for sessile serrated adenoma/polyps was inferior to both experts (classifier 55%, E1 68%, E2 79%; classifier vs. E2, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The classifier (1) developed using white-light images alone compares favorably with experts in differentiating adenomas from serrated lesions. However, the classifier (2) to identify sessile serrated adenoma/polyps is inferior to experts.

Abstract
Objectives: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is the only curative treatment for myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), although predicting post-transplant outcomes remains inconclusive. This study evaluated patients who underwent allo-HCT for MDS to identify prognostic factors and develop a clinical risk model.Methods: We evaluated 55 patients between June 2000 and March 2015 to identify prognostic factors and develop a model for three-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS). Cox regression analysis was performed on four factors: age ≥55 years; Hematopoietic Cell Transplant-Comorbidity Index >2; intermediate or worse cytogenetic status based on revised International Prognostic Scoring System; and unrelated donor status associated with poor OS in the univariate analysis. A clinical risk model was constructed using the sum of the regression coefficients and evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis and five-fold cross-validation.Results: Patient median age was 51 (range: 30-67) years. Median follow-up was 45.8 (range: 1.27-193) months; the three-year OS and EFS rates were 61.8% and 56.4%, respectively. The areas under the curves (AUCs) for OS and EFS were 0.738 and 0.778, respectively, and the average AUC for 50 times five-fold cross-validation were 0.711 and 0.723 for three-year OS and EFS, respectively.Conclusion: A four-clinical-risk-factor model that could effectively predict post-transplantation outcomes and help decision-making in MDS treatment was developed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS We aimed to clarify whether red dichromatic imaging (RDI), a new type of image-enhanced endoscopy, improves the visibility of bleeding points in acute GI bleeding (AGIB) compared with white-light imaging (WLI). METHODS Images and videos of bleeding points acquired with WLI and RDI during endoscopic hemostasis for AGIB were retrospectively compared. In images, the color difference between bleeding points and surrounding blood was analyzed. In videos, 4 expert and 4 trainee endoscopists evaluated the visibility on a scale of 1 (undetectable) to 4 (easily detectable). Furthermore, the correlation between the color difference and visibility score was evaluated. RESULTS We analyzed 64 lesions. The color difference was significantly higher in RDI (13.11 ± 4.02) than in WLI (7.38 ± 3.68, P < .001). The mean visibility score for all endoscopists was significantly higher in RDI (3.12 ± .51) compared with WLI (2.72 ± .50, P < .001); this was also observed in experts (3.18 ± .51 vs 2.79 ± .54, P < .001) and trainees (3.05 ± .54 vs 2.64 ± .47, P < .001). The color difference and visibility score were moderately correlated for all endoscopists (γ = .56, P < .001) and for experts (γ = .53, P < .001) and trainees (γ = .57, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS RDI improves the visibility of bleeding points in AGIB compared with WLI. RDI can help endoscopists at all levels of experience to recognize bleeding points by enhancing the color contrast relative to surrounding blood.

Abstract
A 21-year-old woman was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in March 2014. The patient and her family did not wish to freeze eggs before dasatinib initiation. After 66 months of oral dasatinib administration and 40 months of MR4.5 maintenance, the patient requested to discontinue dasatinib due to a desire to conceive. MR4.5 maintenance was continued, and she achieved spontaneous pregnancy 6 months after dasatinib discontinuation. The patient gave birth to a normal baby 13 months later and was on MR4.5 maintenance 21 months after dasatinib discontinuation.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has emerged as a global pandemic until today, but treatment options remain limited. COVID-19 vaccination is expected to decrease the number of patients with COVID-19 worldwide. In Japan, two types of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) and mRNA-1273 (Moderna), have been approved and administered. However, their side effects remain poorly elucidated. This paper presents two cases of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) after BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Whether or not ITP is triggered by the vaccination or not is difficult to identify. Further investigation with a large number of cases is warranted to clarify the side effects of BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.
