Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a rare entity, and often diagnosed in postmortem. PTTM is usually presented as unexplained dyspnea in a patient with known or unknown history of cancer. Tumor microemboli mainly affect the pulmonary microvasculature. PTTM is resulting from coagulation cascade activation secondary to tumor microemboli induced fibrin clot formation and fibrocellular intimal proliferation.
Methods/Case Report
The patient is a 65-year-old female with past medical history of ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma, and presented to the hospital with chest pain and shortness of breath. Coronary angiography showed no new obstructive disease. Echocardiogram revealed markedly elevated right ventricular systolic pressure (65-70 mmHg), indicated pulmonary hypertension. Computed tomography of the chest revealed diffuse bilateral ground glass and solid centrilobular nodules, with no pulmonary emboli identified. She developed worsening hypoxia and expired. A lung-restricted autopsy was performed. Literature review was conducted. The important gross findings included multiple firm and red-brown nodules (approximately 0.1 cm) in bilateral lungs. Microscopic examination revealed the lung parenchyma demonstrated numerous tumor microemboli in the pulmonary arterioles and occasionally in the small arteries. The tumor microemboli consist of tumor cells with various degree of fibrin deposition and fibrocellular intimal proliferation. The tumor cells were epithelioid with moderate to marked nuclear pleomorphism, occasional cytoplasmic vacuoles, frequent apoptosis and necrosis. Immunohistochemical stains for PAX-8 and WT1 highlight the tumor microemboli. These findings are consistent with PTTM secondary to metastatic ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma. Rare cases of PTTM associated with ovarian cancer were found in PubMed.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
NA.
Conclusion
PTTM has poor prognosis. There are no sensitive diagnostic modalities, and majority of them are diagnosed at autopsy. We have found four reported PTTM cases caused by metastatic ovarian cancer in PubMed, including one case of clear cell carcinoma and three cases of low-grade serous carcinoma. Our current report of PTTM is associated with high-grade serous carcinoma, which is not seen in the literature. The awareness of PTTM is necessary for patients with ovarian cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The appropriate surgical procedure for patients with upper third early gastric cancer is controversial. We compared total gastrectomy (TG) with proximal gastrectomy (PG) in this patient population. METHODS A multicenter, non-randomized trial was conducted, with patients treated with PG or TG. We compared short- and long-term outcomes between these procedures. RESULTS Between 2009 and 2014, we enrolled 254 patients from 22 institutions; data from 252 were included in the analysis. These 252 patients were assigned to either the PG (n = 159) or TG (n = 93) group. Percentage of body weight loss (%BWL) at 1 year after surgery, i.e., the primary endpoint, in the PG group was significantly less than that of the TG group (- 12.8% versus - 16.9%; p = 0.0001). For short-term outcomes, operation time was significantly shorter for PG than TG (252 min versus 303 min; p < 0.0001), but there were no group-dependent differences in blood loss and postoperative complications. For long-term outcomes, incidence of reflux esophagitis in the PG group was significantly higher than that of the TG group (14.5% versus 5.4%; p = 0.02), while there were no differences in the incidence of anastomotic stenosis between the two (5.7% versus 5.4%; p = 0.92). Overall patient survival rates were similar between the two groups (3-year survival rates: 96% versus 92% in the PG and TG groups, respectively; p = 0.49). CONCLUSIONS Patients who underwent PG were better able to control weight loss without worsening the prognosis, relative to those in the TG group. Optimization of a reconstruction method to reduce reflux in PG patients will be important.

Abstract
Cases requiring vancomycin administration planning in infants undergoing continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) are extremely rare. Here, we report a single case in which vancomycin therapeutic drug monitoring and administration planning were implemented for an infant requiring CHDF. The patient was diagnosed with wound infection after gastrostomy and enterotomy surgery and received vancomycin treatment for infection with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis. The vancomycin trough serum concentration was successfully controlled within the acceptable range. Additionally, we discuss the potential usefulness of applying the CHDF clearance parameter for the fine management of vancomycin serum concentration in a pediatric patient undergoing CHDF.

Abstract
Okinawa Island, located in Southern Japan, has a higher prevalence rate of hepatitis C virus subtype 1a (HCV-1a) infection than that in mainland Japan. Okinawa has a history of US military occupation after World War II. To elucidate the transmission history of HCV-1a in Okinawa, 26 whole-genome sequences were obtained from 29 patients during 2011-2016. Phylogenetic trees were reconstructed to identify the origin and characteristics of HCV-1a in Okinawa with epidemiological information. A phylogenetic tree based on whole-genome sequencing revealed that all of the samples were located below the US branches. Additionally, we identified one cluster comprised of 17 strains (Okinawa, n = 16; United States, n = 1). The majority of the patients in this cluster were people who inject drugs (PWID), indicating the presence of a people who inject drugs (PWID) cluster. Subsequently, Bayesian analyses were employed to reveal viral population dynamics. Intriguingly, a phylodynamic analysis uncovered a substantial increase in effective population size of HCV-1a from 1965 to 1980 and a slight increase in mid-2000, which were associated with an increase in illicit drug use in Okinawa. The estimated divergence time of the PWID cluster was 1967.6 (1964.2-1971.1). These findings suggest that HCV-1a was introduced into Okinawa from the United States in the late 1960s, coincident with the Vietnam War. Subsequently, HCV-1a might have spread among the Japanese population with the spread of injecting drug use. Our study provides an understanding of HCV transmission dynamics in Okinawa, as well as the key role of PWID in HCV transmission.

Abstract
We report measurements of the nuclear modification factor R_{CP} for charged hadrons as well as identified π^{+(-)}, K^{+(-)}, and p(p[over ¯]) for Au+Au collision energies of sqrt[s_{NN}]=7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, 39, and 62.4 GeV. We observe a clear high-p_{T} net suppression in central collisions at 62.4 GeV for charged hadrons which evolves smoothly to a large net enhancement at lower energies. This trend is driven by the evolution of the pion spectra but is also very similar for the kaon spectra. While the magnitude of the proton R_{CP} at high p_{T} does depend on the collision energy, neither the proton nor the antiproton R_{CP} at high p_{T} exhibit net suppression at any energy. A study of how the binary collision-scaled high-p_{T} yield evolves with centrality reveals a nonmonotonic shape that is consistent with the idea that jet quenching is increasing faster than the combined phenomena that lead to enhancement.

Abstract
Rapidity-odd directed-flow measurements at midrapidity are presented for Λ, Λ[over ¯], K^{±}, K_{s}^{0}, and ϕ at sqrt[s_{NN}]=7.7, 11.5, 14.5, 19.6, 27, 39, 62.4, and 200 GeV in Au+Au collisions recorded by the Solenoidal Tracker detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These measurements greatly expand the scope of data available to constrain models with differing prescriptions for the equation of state of quantum chromodynamics. Results show good sensitivity for testing a picture where flow is assumed to be imposed before hadron formation and the observed particles are assumed to form via coalescence of constituent quarks. The pattern of departure from a coalescence-inspired sum rule can be a valuable new tool for probing the collision dynamics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the goal of in vivo cultivation of human hepatocytes that have not been sufficient in full differentiation in vitro, the advantage of neonatal thymectomy was verified on expansion of xenogeneic human hepatocyte in the micro-miniature pig (MMP). METHODS The thymus was excised immediately after the birth of the MMPs via cesarean section. Newborns were fed by artificial feeding under specific pathogen-free conditions. The thymectomized and nonthymectomized littermates were transplanted with human hepatocytes via a portal vein with or without partial hepatectomy at the MMP adult stage. RESULTS The growth of thymectomized MMPs and the sham operated littermates was not significantly different; the former weighed 1.98 ± 0.30 kg (average ± standard deviation, n = 4) and the latter weighed 2.28 ± 0.39 kg (n = 4) at 1 month of age, and 17.48 ± 1.92 kg and 16.75 ± 2.68 kg at 12 months of age. Blood thymosin α1 concentrations in the thymectomy group were significantly lower than in the control group (0.22 ± 0.05 ng/mL vs 0.46 ± 0.16 ng/mL; n = 4, 12 months old, P = .029). After human hepatocyte transplantation, human albumin levels were detectable on day 28 in the peripheral blood of the thymectomy plus hepatectomy group (14.3 ± 4.9 ng/mL [± range, n = 2]) but were not detectable even on day 21 in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Neonatal thymectomy was successfully achieved in infantile MMPs born via cesarean section. These pigs were considered to be an ideal in vivo bioreactor for human hepatocytes.

Abstract
This paper describes a method of determinating the flowability and demolding property of molded polyurethane rigid foams by the dynamic viscoelasticity spectrometer. In response to periodic stimulations, the dynamic viscoelasticity gives us much physical information of polymers, including flowability and demolding properties. The flowability and demolding property can be determined from viscoelasticities and blowing pressures during the foaming process, which are measured with the newly developed apparatus. With this newly developed apparatus we show measurement examples on many kinds of systems, such as variation of base polyols (different functionalities) and blowing agent (CFC-11, HCFC-141b and cyclopentane), etc..

Abstract
PURPOSE We have developed a novel molecular method of diagnosis using the technique of transcriptase-reverse transcriptase concerted reaction (TRC) for the detection of cancer micrometastasis. This study prospectively examined the clinical importance of the TRC diagnosis with peritoneal lavage fluids collected from gastric cancer operations at multiple institutes. METHODS TRC amplification targeting carcinoembryonic antigen mRNA was applied to detect gastric cancer cells in peritoneal lavage fluids obtained during gastric cancer resections from nine different hospitals. A total of 137 patients with a clinical diagnosis of serosa-invading neoplasms were enrolled to investigate the correlation between the TRC diagnosis and patient prognosis. RESULTS Of the 137 patients, 27 (20%) were positive by cytologic examination. In contrast, TRC targeting carcinoembryonic antigen mRNA was positive in 59 of 137 (54%) patients. TRC positivity was associated with a poorer overall survival in all patients and in the 104 patients who underwent a curative operation. TRC positivity also was associated with the peritoneal recurrence-free survival rate in the 104 curative cases. Multivariate analysis showed that TRC positivity and the pathologic N factor were prognostic factors for the overall survival time. CONCLUSION Our prospective multicenter study showed that the TRC test using peritoneal lavage fluids could be a potential prognostic factor to predict patient survival and peritoneal recurrence with clinically diagnosed, serosa-invading gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intron 22 inversion (Inv22) of the coagulation factor (F)VIII gene (F8) is a frequent cause of severe hemophilia A. In addition to Inv22, a variety of F8 mutations (1492 unique mutations) causing hemophilia A have been reported, of which 171 involve deletions of over 50 bp (HAMSTeRs database; http://hadb.org.uk/). However, only 10% of these large deletions have been fully characterized at the nucleotide level. PATIENTS AND METHODS We investigated gene abnormalities in three unrelated severe hemophilia A patients with high titer FVIII inhibitors. They had previously been shown to carry large deletions of the F8, but the precise gene abnormalities remain to be elucidated. RESULTS Inverse shifting-PCR (IS-PCR) Inv22 diagnostic tests revealed that these patients carried either type I or II Inv22. However, they showed a wild-type (WT) pattern in the IS-PCR Inv22 complementary tests. We further analyzed their X chromosomes to account for the puzzling results, and found that they had different centromeric breakpoints in the Inv22 X chromosomes, adjacent to the palindromic regions containing int22h-2 or -3, and their spacer region, respectively. The connections appeared to be shifted towards the telomere of the WT F8 Xq28, resulting in a new telomere with an additional intact int22h copy. CONCLUSIONS These gene rearrangements might result from double-strand breaks in the most distal regions of the long arms of the Inv22 X chromosomes, followed by DNA restorations using the WT F8 Xq28 by non-homologous end joining or break-induced replication; thus leading to large F8 deletions in severe hemophilia A patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to retrospectively analyse the treatment results of clinically localised angiosarcoma of the scalp and face. METHODS The records of 48 patients who were treated between 1987 and 2009 were reviewed. single modality or a combination of surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and immunotherapy were administered. The median follow-up of all 48 patients was 13.7 months (range 2.5-105.9 months). RESULTS At the time of analysis, 45 of 48 patients (93.8%) had disease recurrences, and the lung was the most frequent site for recurrence (37 patients). In multivariate analysis, performance status (PS) and number of tumours were significant predictors of lung-metastasis-free (LMF) rate. For patients with multifocal tumours, chemotherapy use significantly decreased the LMF rate (p=0.0072). The 2-year actuarial overall survival (OS), progression-free survival and local control rates in all 48 patients were 22.1%, 10.7% and 46.3%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, PS, number of tumours, surgery and radiotherapy were significant prognostic factors for OS. Patients treated with both surgery and radiotherapy (2-year OS: 45.8%) had a significantly more favourable OS (p<0.0001) than patients treated with either surgery or radiotherapy (2-year OS: 11.1%) and patients treated with neither surgery nor radiotherapy (2-year OS: 0%). CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that PS and number of tumours were significant predictors for developing lung metastases. Our results also indicated that PS, number of tumours, surgery use and radiotherapy use were independent prognostic factors for OS. Multimodal treatments including surgery and radiotherapy were effective in improving OS for patients with these tumours. Advances in knowledge Multimodal treatments including surgery and radiotherapy are effective in improving overall survival for patients with angiosarcoma of the scalp and face.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IL-33 is clearly expressed in the airway of patients with asthma, but its role in asthma has not yet been fully understood. IL-17F is also involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. However, the regulatory mechanisms of IL-17F expression remain to be defined. To further indentify the role of IL-33 in asthma, we investigated the expression of IL-17F by IL-33 in bronchial epithelial cells and its signaling mechanisms. METHODS Bronchial epithelial cells were stimulated with IL-33. The levels of IL-17F expression were analyzed using real-time PCR and ELISA. Next, the involvement of ST2, MAP kinases, and mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinase1 (MSK1) was determined by Western blot analyses. Various kinase inhibitors and anti-ST2 neutralizing Abs were added to the culture to identify the key signaling events leading to the expression of IL-17F, in conjunction with the use of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting MSK1. RESULTS IL-33 significantly induced IL-17F gene and protein expression. The receptor for IL-33, ST2, was expressed in bronchial epithelial cells. Among MAP kinases, IL-33 phosphorylated ERK1/2, but not p38MAPK and JNK. It was inhibited by the pretreatment of anti-ST2 neutralizing (blocking) Abs. MEK inhibitor significantly blocked IL-17F production. Moreover, IL-33 phosphorylated MSK1, and MEK inhibitor diminished its phosphorylation. Finally, MSK1 inhibitors and transfection of the siRNAs targeting MSK1 significantly blocked the IL-17F expression. CONCLUSIONS IL-33 induces IL-17F via ST2-ERK1/2-MSK1 signaling pathway in bronchial epithelial cells. These data suggest that the IL-33/IL-17F axis is involved in allergic airway inflammation and may be a novel therapeutic target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perioperative enteral immunonutrition is thought to reduce postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing major gastrointestinal surgery. This study assessed the clinical effects of preoperative enteral immunonutrition in well nourished patients with gastric cancer undergoing total gastrectomy. METHODS Well nourished patients with primary gastric cancer, fit for total gastrectomy, were randomized to either a control group with regular diet, or an immunonutrition group that received regular diet supplemented with 1000 ml/day of immunonutrients for 5 consecutive days before surgery. The primary endpoint was the incidence of surgical-site infection (SSI). Secondary endpoints were rates of infectious complications, overall postoperative morbidity and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels on 3-4 days after surgery. RESULTS Of 244 randomized patients, 117 were allocated to the control group and 127 received immunonutrition. SSIs occurred in 27 patients in the immunonutrition group and 23 patients in the control group (risk ratio (RR) 1.09, 95 per cent confidence interval 0.66 to 1.78). Infectious complications were observed in 30 patients in the immunonutrition group and 27 in the control group (RR 1.11, 0.59 to 2.08). The overall postoperative morbidity rate was 30.8 and 26.1 per cent respectively (RR 1.18, 0.78 to 1.78). The median CRP value was 11.8 mg/dl in the immunonutrition group and 9.2 mg/dl in the control group (P = 0.113). CONCLUSION Five-day preoperative enteral immunonutrition failed to demonstrate any clear advantage in terms of early clinical outcomes or modification of the systemic acute-phase response in well nourished patients with gastric cancer undergoing elective total gastrectomy.

Abstract
For prevention of nosocomial legionellosis, environmental investigation to identify possible infectious sources is essential. An environmental study in a ward of our hospital revealed that a steam towel warmer was contaminated with legionella whereas no legionella was detected in tap water supplies and shower heads. Water in the apparatus may be a reservoir of legionella. We abandoned the use of all steam towel warmers in our hospital. Based on this finding, we recommend that steam towel warmers in hospital settings be avoided. Otherwise, the apparatus should be drained, cleaned and dried every day.

Abstract
A 41-year-old man who had non-small cell lung cancer invading his right 3rd, 4th and 5th ribs with hilum lymph node swelling(cT3N1M0, cStage III A), received chemoradiation therapy, cisplatin(CDDP)/docetaxel, and 2 Gy/Fr of irradiation prior to surgery. But the therapy was discontinued due to interstitial pneumonitis on day 24, during 28 Gy of radiation. At that time, a PET-CT scan revealed the accumulation of FDG in the primary tumor, hilar lymph node, and one of the ipsilateral axillar lymph nodes, in which cancer cell presence was proven by aspiration needle cytology. We organized a radical operation even though the node status was classified to cStage IV, because ipsilateral axillary lymph nodes may be regarded as regional nodes for tumors invading the chest wall. Right upper lobectomy and chest wall resection were performed, and the ipsilateral hilar, mediastinal, and axillary lymphnode were dissected. Pathological findings showed no active cancer cell in the primary lesion and hilar lymph nodes(Ef. 3), but obvious metastasis in one of the axillary lymph nodes(pT0N0M1b, pStage IV). The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy(CDDP/vinorelbine), and is alive and tumor-free 10months after the resection.

Abstract
65 Background: In distal subtotal gastrectomy for gastric cancer, Billroth-I (B-I) reconstruction has been performed predominantly in Japan, while increasing number of surgeons chose Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction recently. To evaluate the safety and superiority of R-Y we conducted a multi-institutional prospective randomized controlled trial. Methods: Gastric cancer patients who underwent distal gastrectomy were randomized to B-I or R-Y intraoperatively. The primary endpoint was the ratio of body weight loss 1 year after surgery, the secondary endpoints were the incidence of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) and postoperative morbidity. Results: Between Aug 2005 and Dec 2008, a total of 332 patients were enrolled and 163 patients were assigned to B-I and 169 patients to R- Y. The patient's characteristics were well balanced between the two groups. The operation time was significantly longer in R-Y than B-I (median 180 min in B-I vs 214 min in R-Y, p < 0.0001). The postoperative morbidity was 14 patients (8.6%) in B-I and 23 (13.6%) in R-Y (p = 0.14), the incidence of DGE was 7 (4.3%) in B-I vs 16 (9.5%) in R-Y (p = 0.06), and the hospital stay after surgery was 14.1days in B-I vs 16.4 days in R-Y (p = 0.02). There was no hospital death in the two groups. The body weight loss at 1 year after surgery compared to preoperation was -5.4kg (-9.1%) in B-I vs -6.2kg (-9.8%) in R-Y (p = 0.11). Conclusions: The advantage of R- Y reconstruction compared to B-I was not proved in terms of postoperative morbidity either the body weight loss 1 year after surgery. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
74 Background: To investigate the effect of preoperative enteral immunonutrion on the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) after total gastrectomy for gastric cancer, we conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial. Methods: Eligibility criteria included: (1) histologically proven adenocarcinoma of stomach, (2) scheduled total gastrectomy, (3) aged less than 80 years, (4) not malnourished, (5) possible to ingest liquid diet, (6) written informed consent. Eligible patients (pts) wereassigned to the immunonutrition (I) group or the control (C) group. In the C group pts freely accessed to regular diet until surgery. In the I group, pts were supplemented with 1,000 ml/day of immunonutrient enriched with arginine, omega-3 fatty acids and RNA (Impact) in addition to the regular diet for 5 days before surgery. The primary endpoint was the incidence of SSI and the secondary endpoints were other infectious complications and serum CRP level on POD 3 or 4. Results: From 02/2004 to 12/2009, 240 gastric cancer patients (pts) who underwent gastric surgery were enrolled. 125 pts assigned to the I group and 115 pts assigned to the C group. Age, sex, body weight, serum albumin and general nutritional status were well balanced between the two groups. 223 pts underwent total gastrectomy, 6 pts proximal gastrectomy, 4 pts distal gastrectomy, and 7 pts simple laparotomy. In terms of tumor status, there were no significant difference between the groups in histological type, T stage, and lymph node metastasis. 104 of 125 pts assigned to the I group tolerated a daily intake 1,000 ml of Impact for 5 days. The incidence of SSI was 26 (20.8%) in the I group and 24 (20.9%) in the C group (R.R: 1.00, 95% C.I: 0.61-1.63). Postoperative morbidity was 36 (28.8%) in the I group and 30 (26.1%) in the C group. There was no difference in days of hospital stay after surgery between the groups. Conclusions: The oral administration of immunonutrient for 5 days before surgery did not contributed to the reduction of infectious complications after total gastrectomy in gastric cancer pts. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
72 Background: Omental bursectomy, a traditional surgical procedure to dissect the peritoneal lining covering the pancreas and the anterior plane of the transverse mesocolon, has often been performed against resectable gastric cancer. We have conducted a multi- institutional randomized controlled trial to elucidate the safety and usefulness of this procedure. Methods: Patients with cT2 or cT3 gastric adenocarcinoma were intraoperatively randomized to radical gastrectomy plus D2 lymphadenectomy either with or without bursectomy. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). The planned sample size was 464, with an alpha error of 0.05 and statistical power of 80% to detect a 10% margin of non-inferiority for the non-bursectomy group. The first interim analysis was conducted on Sep 2008, and we decided the preliminary data release according to Korn's proposal (J Clin Oncol. 2005). Results: Between Jul 2002 and Jan 2007, a total of 210 patients were randomized to either the bursectomy group or the non-bursectomy group. Background characteristics were well balanced. Intraoperative blood loss was greater in the bursectomy group than in the non-bursectomy group (median, 475 mL vs. 350 mL, p=0.047), while other surgical factors did not vary significantly. The overall morbidity rate was 14%, the same between two groups. The hospital mortality rate was 0.95%; one patient per group. In the first interim analysis, the 3-year OS were 86% in bursectomy group and 79% in non-bursectomy group, and the hazard ratio was 1.55 (95% CI: 0.84-2.84). The non-bursectomy group had more patients with peritoneal recurrences than the bursectomy group (14% vs. 8%). Conclusions: Experienced surgeons could safely perform a D2 gastrectomy with an additional bursectomy. First interim analysis suggested the survival advantage of omental bursectomy for cT2-3 gastric cancer patients. Final analysis will be conducted in 2012. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased expression of IL-17F has been noted in the airway of asthmatic patients, but its role in asthma has not been fully elucidated. Insulin-like growth FACTOR-I (IGF-I) is known to be involved in airway remodelling and inflammation, while its regulatory mechanisms remain to be defined. OBJECTIVE To further clarify the biological function of IL-17F, we investigated whether IL-17F is able to regulate the expression of IGF-I in bronchial epithelial cells. METHODS Bronchial epithelial cells were stimulated with IL-17F in the presence or absence of T-helper type 2 cytokines. Various kinase inhibitors were added to the culture to identify the key signalling events leading to the expression of IGF-I, in conjunction with the use of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinase (MSK) 1, p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (p90RSK), and cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB). RESULTS IL-17F significantly induced IGF-I gene and protein expression, and co-stimulation with IL-4 and IL-13 augmented its production. MAP kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitors and the Raf1 kinase inhibitor significantly inhibited IGF-I production, and the combination of PD98059 and Raf1 kinase inhibitor showed further inhibition. Overexpression of Raf1 and Ras dominant-negative mutants inhibited its expression. MSK1 inhibitors significantly blocked IL17F-induced IGF-I expression. Moreover, transfection of the siRNAs targeting MSK1, p90RSK, and CREB blocked its expression. CONCLUSIONS In bronchial epithelial cells, IL-17F is able to induce the expression of IGF-I via the Raf1-MEK1/2-ERK1/2-MSK1/p90RSK-CREB pathway in vitro.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Pertussis developed in Kagawa University Medical School and University Hospital in May 2007. To control the outbreak and prevent the infection of hospital inpatients, the Infection Control Team (ICT) carried out the prophylactic administration of erythromycin (EM) to hospital staff (1566 staff) who might be exposed to Bordetella pertussis. METHODS An oral dose of 1000 mg/day EM was given for 10 days. To assess compliance and estimate the frequency of adverse effect, the ICT conducted a questionnaire survey. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Of 942 respondents (response rate: 60.2%), 264 (28.0%) experienced some form of EM adverse effects, of which the most commonly reported involved digestive organ symptoms, e.g. diarrhoea (15.6%), stomachache (7.5%), nausea (3.6%), epigastric distress (2.1%) and abdominal distention (1.8%). More importantly, 246 participants (26.1%) stopped taking the EM before completing 10 days because of perceived adverse effects. CONCLUSION These results indicate that EM appears to cause adverse effects more frequently than reported in the package insert in Japan. The prophylactic use of EM for pertussis infection is recognized in the guideline of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, this study suggests that attention should be paid to EM non-compliance during a pertussis outbreak, which could extend the duration of the outbreak and increase the number of affected patients.

Abstract
Liver diseases associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection have become the major cause of mortality in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection since the introduction of highly active anti-retroviral therapy. HCV-related liver disease is more severe in HIV-infected patients than in non-HIV-infected patients, but the standard therapies used to treat chronic hepatitis C in HCV/HIV coinfected patients are the same as those for patients infected with HCV alone. HIV protease inhibitors might have potential to down-regulate HCV load of HCV/HIV coinfected patients. In this study, we evaluated the effects of nelfinavir on intracellular HCV replication using the HCV replicon system. We constructed an HCV replicon expressing a neomycin-selectable chimeric firefly luciferase reporter protein. Cytotoxicity and apoptosis induced by nelfinavir were assessed and synergism between nelfinavir and interferon (IFN) was calculated using CalcuSyn analysis. Nelfinavir dose-dependently repressed HCV replication at low concentrations (IC(50), 9.88 micromol/L). Nelfinavir failed to induce cytotoxicity or apoptosis at concentrations that inhibited HCV replication. Clinical concentrations of nelfinavir (5 micromol/L) combined with IFN showed synergistic inhibition of HCV replication in our replicon model. Our results suggest that the direct effects of nelfinavir on the HCV subgenome and its synergism with IFN could improve clinical responses to IFN therapy in HCV/HIV coinfected patients.
