Abstract
BACKGROUND Efficacy of necitumumab [recombinant human monoclonal antibody that blocks the ligand binding epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)] in patients with squamous (SQ) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been confirmed in two randomized clinical trials (SQUIRE and JFCM). This study evaluated the association between efficacy and initial skin toxicity with necitumumab treatment by analyzing pooled data from two clinical trials (SQUIRE and JFCM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of 635 patients with SQ-NSCLC (intent-to-treat population) treated with necitumumab plus gemcitabine and cisplatin (N + GC) were pooled from two clinical trials (SQUIRE and JFCM). The relationship between skin toxicities developed by the end of the second cycle and efficacy was evaluated. Efficacy endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR). Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out for these endpoints. RESULTS OS and ORR were associated with skin toxicity, whereas PFS was not. Patients with grade ≥2 or grade 1 skin toxicity had significantly longer OS compared to patients without skin toxicity (grade 0) in the N + GC group [median = 15.0 (grade ≥2); 12.7 (grade 1); 9.4 (grade 0) months; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.51 (grade ≥2 to grade 0); 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.40-0.64, P < 0.001 and HR = 0.64 (grade 1 to grade 0); 95% CI 0.52-0.80, P < 0.001]. In multivariate analysis, OS was significantly associated with skin toxicity. CONCLUSIONS A significant association was found between necitumumab-induced skin toxicity and efficacy. These results are consistent with the previously reported association between other EGFR inhibitors-induced skin toxicity and efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In older people, frailty has been recognized as an important prognostic factor. However, only a few studies have focused on multidimensional frailty as a predictor of mortality and readmission among inpatients with pneumonia. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to assess the association between preadmission frailty and clinical outcomes after the hospitalization of older patients with pneumonia. DESIGN Single-center, retrospective case-control study. SETTING Acute phase hospital at Kobe, Japan. PARTICIPANTS The present study included 654 consecutive older inpatients with pneumonia. MEASUREMENTS Frailty status before admission was assessed using total Kihon Checklist (KCL) score, which has been used as a self-administered questionnaire to assess comprehensive frailty, including physical, social, and cognitive status. The primary outcome was a composited 6-month mortality and readmission after discharge. RESULTS In total, 330 patients were analyzed (median age: 79 years, male: 70.4%, median total KCL score: 10 points), of which 68 were readmitted and 10 died within 6 months. After multivariate analysis, total KCL score was associated with a composited 6-month mortality and readmission (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.07; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.12; p = 0.006). The cutoff value for total KCL score determined by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was 15 points (area under the curve = 0.610). The group with a total KCL score ≥ 15 points had significantly higher readmission or mortality rates than the groups with a total KCL score < 15 points (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Preadmission frailty status in older patients with pneumonia was an independent risk factor for readmission and survival after hospitalization.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Several comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases or myocardial injury, are reported to be associated with poor prognosis in patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, detailed prognostic analysis of myocardial injury by various biomarkers in COVID-19 patients is limited.
Purpose
This study aims to explore the prognostic values of high-sensitive Troponin I (hsTnI) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for COVID-19 patients using Japanese real-world data.
Methods
The COVID-MI study is a retrospective cohort study that enrolls consecutive laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital from July 2020 to September 2021. We collected clinical data, including cardiac biomarker values, by chart review. If the prespecified biomarkers in concern were not available, we measured them using the institutional serum blood bank, which enrolled patients prospectively from July 2020. Patients with available biomarkers were analyzed according to the values of hsTnI or NT-proBNP, using the clinically relevant thresholds (hsTnI: 5 ng/L and 99th percentile of the upper reference limit [99%ile URL], and NT-proBNP: 125 pg/mL and 900 pg/mL). The primary outcome measure was all-cause death. Secondary outcome measures included acute respiratory distress syndrome, myocardial infarction, myocarditis/pericarditis, venous thromboembolism, cerebral infarction, and bleeding events.
Results
We enrolled 917 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by viral nucleic acid amplification test. The mean age was 61 years, and 591 patients (64%) were men. On admission, the number of patients classified as severe or critical COVID-19 was 515 (56%) and 85 (8.7%), respectively. Among the 544 patients with hsTnI values, 365 (67%) patients had elevated hsTnI of ≥5 ng/L, and 134 patients (25%) had TnI of ≥99%ile URL. Besides, among 546 patients with NT-proBNP values, 295 patients (54%) had elevated NT-pro-BNP of ≥125 pg/mL, and 93 patients (17%) had NT-proBNP of ≥900 pg/mL. The median follow-up period was 31 days (interquartile range: 11–90 days). In cumulative incidence analysis, higher levels of hsTnI and NT-proBNP were associated with significantly higher mortality (hsTnI: <5 ng/L group; 8.8%, 5 ng/L to 99%ile URL group; 19%, and ≥99%ile URL group; 37%, P<0.001, and NT-proBNP: <125 pg/mL group; 7.8%, 125 to 900 pg/mL group; 21%, and ≥900 pg/mL group; 45%, P<0.001). The adjusted risk for all-cause death remained significant for each threshold of cardiac biomarkers (hsTnI ≥99%ile URL: hazard ratio [HR] 1.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11–3.54, P=0.02, and NT-proBNP ≥900 pg/mL: HR 3.60, 95% CI 1.86–6.98, P<0.001).
Conclusion
Elevation of hsTnI or NT-proBNP was associated with poor prognosis in the current relatively severely ill COVID-19 patients. Measuring hsTnI or NT-proBNP can be an attractive option for risk stratification and deciding appropriate management in patients with COVID-19.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The INBUILD trial investigated the efficacy and safety of nintedanib versus placebo in patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We aimed to establish the effects of nintedanib in subgroups based on ILD diagnosis. METHODS The INBUILD trial was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial done at 153 sites in 15 countries. Participants had an investigator-diagnosed fibrosing ILD other than IPF, with chest imaging features of fibrosis of more than 10% extent on high resolution CT (HRCT), forced vital capacity (FVC) of 45% or more predicted, and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLco) of at least 30% and less than 80% predicted. Participants fulfilled protocol-defined criteria for ILD progression in the 24 months before screening, despite management considered appropriate in clinical practice for the individual ILD. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 by means of a pseudo-random number generator to receive nintedanib 150 mg twice daily or placebo for at least 52 weeks. Participants, investigators, and other personnel involved in the trial and analysis were masked to treatment assignment until after database lock. In this subgroup analysis, we assessed the rate of decline in FVC (mL/year) over 52 weeks in patients who received at least one dose of nintedanib or placebo in five prespecified subgroups based on the ILD diagnoses documented by the investigators: hypersensitivity pneumonitis, autoimmune ILDs, idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia, unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and other ILDs. The trial has been completed and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02999178. FINDINGS Participants were recruited between Feb 23, 2017, and April 27, 2018. Of 663 participants who received at least one dose of nintedanib or placebo, 173 (26%) had chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, 170 (26%) an autoimmune ILD, 125 (19%) idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia, 114 (17%) unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and 81 (12%) other ILDs. The effect of nintedanib versus placebo on reducing the rate of FVC decline (mL/year) was consistent across the five subgroups by ILD diagnosis in the overall population (hypersensitivity pneumonitis 73·1 [95% CI -8·6 to 154·8]; autoimmune ILDs 104·0 [21·1 to 186·9]; idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia 141·6 [46·0 to 237·2]; unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia 68·3 [-31·4 to 168·1]; and other ILDs 197·1 [77·6 to 316·7]; p=0·41 for treatment by subgroup by time interaction). Adverse events reported in the subgroups were consistent with those reported in the overall population. INTERPRETATION The INBUILD trial was not designed or powered to provide evidence for a benefit of nintedanib in specific diagnostic subgroups. However, its results suggest that nintedanib reduces the rate of ILD progression, as measured by FVC decline, in patients who have a chronic fibrosing ILD and progressive phenotype, irrespective of the underlying ILD diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reducing near-fatal asthma exacerbations is a critical problem in asthma management. OBJECTIVES To determine patterns of factors preceding asthma exacerbations in a real-world setting. METHODS In a nationwide prospective study of 190 patients who had experienced near-fatal asthma exacerbation, cluster analysis was performed using asthma symptoms over the 2-week period before admission. RESULTS Three distinct clusters of symptoms were defined employing the self-reporting of a visual analogue scale. Cluster A (42.1%): rapid worsening within 7.4 hours from moderate attack to admission, young to middle-aged patients with low Body mass index and tendency to depression who had stopped anti-asthma medications, smoked, and hypersensitive to environmental triggers and furred pets. Cluster B (40.0%): fairly rapid worsening within 48 hours, mostly middle-aged and older, relatively good inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) or ICS/long-acting beta-agonist (LABA) compliance, and low perception of dyspnea. Cluster C (17.9%): slow worsening over 10 days before admission, high perception of dyspnea, smokers, and chronic daily mild-moderate symptoms. There were no differences in overuse of short-acting beta-agonists, baseline asthma severity, or outcomes after admission for patients in these 3 clusters. CONCLUSION To reduce severe or life-threatening asthma exacerbation, personalized asthma management plans should be considered for each cluster. Improvement of ICS and ICS/LABA compliance and cessation of smoking are important in cluster A. To compensate for low perception of dyspnea, asthma monitoring of peak expiratory flow rate and/or exhaled nitric oxide would be useful for patients in cluster B. Avoidance of environmental triggers, increase usual therapy, or new anti-type 2 response-targeted therapies should be considered for cluster C.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic markers of susceptibility to asthma exacerbations in adults remain unclear. OBJECTIVE To identify genetic markers of asthma exacerbations, particularly in patients with type-2 inflammatory endotype. METHODS In this observational study of patients enrolled in the Kinki Hokuriku Airway disease Conference multicenter study, frequency of exacerbations requiring systemic corticosteroids during 2 years after enrolment and associated risk factors was determined. For genetic marker analysis, interleukin-4 receptor α (IL4RA) rs8832 and a disintegrin and metalloprotease 33 (ADAM33) S_2 (rs528557), T_1 (rs2280091), T_2 (rs2280090), and V_4 (rs2787094) variants were included. Elevated serum periostin levels at enrolment (≥95 ng/mL, defined as type-2 inflammatory endotype) were considered in the analysis. RESULTS Among 217 patients who were successfully followed up for 2 years after enrolment, 60 patients showed at least one asthma exacerbation during the 2 years. Airflow limitation (%FEV1 <80%) and recent exacerbations but not genetic variants were identified as risk markers of exacerbations. A total of 27 patients showed type-2 inflammatory endotype (serum periostin ≥95 ng/mL at enrolment) and subsequent exacerbations; risk factors in these patients were airflow limitation (odds ratio, 6.51; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.37-18.6; P=.0003), GG genotype of IL4RA rs8832 (odds ratio, 4.01; 95% CI: 1.47-11.0; P=.007), and A allele of ADAM33 T_2 (odds ratio, 2.81; 95% CI: 1.05-7.67; P=.04) by multivariate analysis. In addition, GG genotype of IL4RA rs8832 was associated with type-2 endotype, whereas A allele of ADAM33 T_2 was associated with mixed type of eosinophilic/type-2 and neutrophilic inflammations. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE IL4RA and ADAM33 variants may be risk markers of asthma exacerbations in type-2 inflammatory endotype. Precise endotyping may facilitate the identification of genetic risk markers of asthma exacerbations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Severe or life-threatening asthma exacerbation is one of the worst outcomes of asthma because of the risk of death. To date, few studies have explored the potential heterogeneity of this condition. OBJECTIVES To examine the clinical characteristics and heterogeneity of patients with severe or life-threatening asthma exacerbation. METHODS This was a multicentre, prospective study of patients with severe or life-threatening asthma exacerbation and pulse oxygen saturation < 90% who were admitted to 17 institutions across Japan. Cluster analysis was performed using variables from patient- and physician-orientated structured questionnaires. RESULTS Analysis of data from 175 patients with severe or life-threatening asthma exacerbation revealed five distinct clusters. Cluster 1 (n = 27) was younger-onset asthma with severe symptoms at baseline, including limitation of activities, a higher frequency of treatment with oral corticosteroids and short-acting beta-agonists, and a higher frequency of asthma hospitalizations in the past year. Cluster 2 (n = 35) was predominantly composed of elderly females, with the highest frequency of comorbid, chronic hyperplastic rhinosinusitis/nasal polyposis, and a long disease duration. Cluster 3 (n = 40) was allergic asthma without inhaled corticosteroid use at baseline. Patients in this cluster had a higher frequency of atopy, including allergic rhinitis and furred pet hypersensitivity, and a better prognosis during hospitalization compared with the other clusters. Cluster 4 (n = 34) was characterized by elderly males with concomitant chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Although cluster 5 (n = 39) had very mild symptoms at baseline according to the patient questionnaires, 41% had previously been hospitalized for asthma. CONCLUSIONS & CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study demonstrated that significant heterogeneity exists among patients with severe or life-threatening asthma exacerbation. Differences were observed in the severity of asthma symptoms and use of inhaled corticosteroids at baseline, and the presence of comorbid COPD. These findings may contribute to a deeper understanding and better management of this patient population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In steroid-naive patients with asthma, several gene variants are associated with a short-term response to inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment; this has mostly been observed in Caucasians. However, not many studies have been conducted for other ethnicities. Here, we aimed to determine the relationship between the annual decline in forced expiratory flow volume in one second (FEV1 ) and the variant of the glucocorticoid-induced transcript 1 gene (GLCCI1) in Japanese patients with asthma receiving long-term ICS treatment, taking into account the effect of high serum periostin levels, a known association factor of pulmonary function decline and a marker of refractory eosinophilic/Th2 inflammation. METHODS In this study, 224 patients with asthma receiving ICS treatment for at least 4 years were enrolled. The effects of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GLCCI1, stress-induced phosphoprotein 1 (STIP1), and T gene on the decline in FEV1 of 30 ml/year or greater were determined. RESULTS Besides the known contributing factors, that is, the most intensive treatment step, ex-smoking, and high serum periostin levels (≥95 ng/ml), the GG genotype of GLCCI1 rs37973, and not other SNPs, was independently associated with a decline in FEV1 of 30 ml/year or greater. When patients were stratified according to their serum periostin levels, the GG genotype of rs37973 was significantly associated with blood eosinophilia (≥250/μl) in the high serum periostin group. CONCLUSIONS A GLCCI1 variant is a risk factor of pulmonary function decline in Japanese patients with asthma receiving long-term ICS treatment. Thus, GLCCI1 may be associated with response to ICS across ethnicities.

Abstract
Asthma attack is characterized by episodic attacks of cough, dyspnea and wheeze occurring due to bronchoconstriction, airway hyperresponsiveness and mucous hypersecretion. Although nationwide clinical guidelines have been published to establish the standard care of asthma, choices in the treatment of fatal asthma attacks remain of clinical significance. Especially, in a severe asthma attack, despite the application of conventional medical treatment, respiratory management is critical. Even though non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has been shown to be effective in a wide variety of clinical settings, reports of NIV in asthmatic patients are scarce. According to a few prospective clinical trials reporting promising results in favour of the use of NIV in a severe asthma attack, a trial of NIV prior to invasive mechanical ventilation seems acceptable and may benefit patients by decreasing the need for intubation and by supporting pharmaceutical treatments. Although selecting the appropriate patients for NIV use is a key factor in successful NIV application, how to distinguish such patients is quite controversial. Larger high quality clinical trails are urgently required to confirm the benefits of NIV to patients with severe asthma attack. In this article, we focus on the body of evidence supporting the use of NIV in asthma attacks and discuss its advantages as well its problems.

Abstract
A 78-year-old man had non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the left upper lobe (squamous cell carcinoma, cT1N0M0). He preferred less invasive treatment and undertook stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT)[48 Gy/4 Fr] because his forced expiratory volume in 1 second percent (FEV1.0%) was 53.50%. The therapeutic effect was partial response and the adverse reaction was dermatitis (grade 1). Seven months after SRT, local recurrence was detected. The tumor was growing from 3 x 5 mm to 25 x 25 mm in size. Nine months after SRT, left upper lobectomy was performed successfully unaffected by SRT. He is doing well 14 months after the operation without any signs of recurrence. This case might help develop a new strategy for the treatment of stage I NSCLC. It is that patients with stage I NSCLC have SRT as 1st line treatment, and if local recurrence is observed after SRT, lobectomy may be performed.

Abstract
18209 Background: Amrubicin, a totally synthetic 9-amino-anthracycline, has been demonstrated to have excellent antitumor activity against previously untreated SCLC. However, severe hematological toxicities were observed in previously treated SCLC when given at doses of 40 to 45 mg/m2, days 1–3. We sought to determine the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) and toxicity of amrubicin for pts with previously treated SCLC. Methods: Pts with confirmed SCLC, ECOG PS 0–1, and 20 to 74 years of age, with a history of receiving one or two regimens were eligible for the study. Pts were divided into two groups. Group R (-) consisted of pts without history of radiotherapy except prophylactic cranial irradiation. Group R (+) consisted of pts with history of irradiation up to two fields including thoracic radiotherapy. AMR was initially given at 35 mg/m2, iv, days 1–3, every 3 weeks in both groups. The dose was then increased to 40 and 45 mg/m2. Three pts were treated at each dose level in the absence of a dose limiting toxicity (DLT). All pts received prophylactic hG- CSF between days 8–13. DLT was defined as neutrophil nadir <500/μL lasting more than 4 days, neutropenic fever and neutrophil nadir <1000/μL, platelet nadir <20,000/μL or ≥ grade 3 non-hematologic toxicities. Results: Fourteen pts were enrolled, 10m/4f. The median age was 62 years (range 34–82). Two of 6 pts in the first cohort in group R (-) had dose-limiting neutropenia. The dose escalation is ongoing. Three pts in the first cohort in group R (+) had no dose-limiting toxicities. A subsequent 5 pts were treated at dose-level 2, and 3 pts had dose-limiting neutropenia. The MTD in group R (+) was 40 mg/m2. A response rate of 62% was observed. Median survival time was 12 months. No treatment-related death was observed. Conclusions: The MTD in group R (-) was not determined. The MTD in group R (+) was determined as 40 mg/m2. Further data will be presented. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
7090 Background: Efficacy of high dose chemotherapy with autologous PBSCT has been demonstrated in the treatment of lymphoma. The purpose of this trial is to determine progression-free survival and long-term survival for LD-SCLC patients (pts) who responded to first-line concurrent chemo-radiotherapy followed by HD-ICE with PBSCT. Methods: Patients (pts) with pathologically proven SCLC without malignant pleural and pericardial effusion, stage II-IIIB, ECOG-PS 0–1 were eligible. All pts were treated with cisplatin (P) 60 mg/m2 day1 and etoposide (E) 100 mg/m2, days 1–3, with concurrent hyperfractionted radiotherapy initially (1.5Gy X 2/day X 15 days, total 45Gy) and then two or three cycles of chemotherapy consisted of P 60 mg/m2, day 1, and E 120 mg/m2, days 1–3, or APE (adriamycin 30 mg/m2, day 1, P 60 mg/m2, day1 and E 100 mg/m2, days 1–3) were repeated. Pts with tumor shrinkage more than 90% after initial therapy received HD-ICE (ifosfamide 3 g/m2, days 1–3, carboplatin 400 mg/m2, days 1–3, etoposide 400 mg/m2, days 1–3) followed by PBSCT. All pts received prophylactic cranial irradiation (1.5 Gy × 2/day × 9 days, total 27 Gy). Results: Between 1996 and 2001, 15 pts were eligible and all 15 pts received HD-ICE with PBSCT. Patient characteristics included M/F:14/1, median age: 55 (47–62), PS 0/1: 7/8 stage IIIA/IIIB: 7/8. Grade IV neutropenia and thorombocytopenia were observed in all pts and 93% of pts experienced neutropenic fever after HD-ICE. There was no toxic death. Median follow up time was 83.2 months. Median progression free survival time was 10. 7 months and overall median survival time (MST) was 30.9 months. Two, 3 and 5-year survival rates after initial chemoradiotherapy were 67%, 33%, 25%, respectively. Conclusion: HD-ICE with PBSCT for LD-SCLC revealed promising MST and a 5-year survival rate with manageable treatment-related toxicity. A randomized phase III study comparing chemo-radiotherapy followed by HD-ICE with PBSCT to standard chemo-radiotherapy for LD-SCLC is ongoing. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
We conducted a 12 weeks' single-arm prospective study comparing beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP), 1/2 doses of fluticasone propionate (FP) twice daily and the same dose of FP once daily in 47 asthmatics who had been inhaling BDP 800 mcg daily or more. Peak expiratory flow (PEF), FEV1, a symptom score and a frequency of beta 2 agonist were all significantly better in FP twice daily phase than BDP phase (329 vs. 306 L/min, 1.87 vs. 1.76 L, 3.6 vs. 6.0/week and 2.7 vs. 4.5 puffs/day, respectively). There was no significant difference in these endpoints between FP twice daily phase and FP once daily phase. FP twice daily produced better plumonary function and symptom relief than the double doses of BDP. Furthermore, FP twice daily could, at least in a short-term basis, safely be changed into the same doses of FP once daily.

Abstract
The ABC transporter is a major class of cellular translocation machinery in all bacterial species encoded in the largest set of paralogous genes. The operon structure is frequently found for the genes of three molecular components: the ATP-binding protein, the membrane protein, and the substrate-binding protein. Here, we developed an "ortholog group table" by comparison and classification of known and putative ABC transporters in the complete genomes of seven microorganisms. Our procedure was to first search and classify the most conserved ATP-binding protein components by the sequence similarity and then to classify the entire transporter units by examining the similarity of the other components and the conservation of the operon structure. The resulting 25 ortholog groups of ABC transporters were well correlated with known functions. Through the analysis, we could assign substrate specificity to hypothetical transporters, predict additional transporter operons, and identify novel types of putative transporters. The ortholog group table was also used as a reference data set for functional assignment in four additional genomes. In general, the ABC transporter operons were strongly conserved despite the extensive shuffling of gene locations in bacterial evolution. In Synechocystis, however, the tendency of forming operons was clearly diminished. Our result suggests that the ancestral ABC transporter operons may have arisen early in evolution before the speciation of bacteria and archaea.

Abstract
We tried to use eosinophil counts in induced sputum samples as a marker of airway inflammation, and as a guide for reducing inhaled corticosteroids in patients with well-controlled persistent asthma. The eosinophil count in induced sputum smears was defined as follows: Eos%; eosinophil percentage of 200-400 leukocytes in properly cell-separated fields, TEC; total eosinophil counts in the 5 most eosinophil-dense high power view fields (x 400). First, the eosinophil count in induced sputum samples was compared between 29 asthmatic subjects treated with inhaled corticosteroid and 15 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Second, inhaled corticosteroid was reduced by 50% in 20 patients with green-zone asthma (morning PEF > 80% of patient's best PEF). PEF measurements were followed prospectively for 12 weeks thereafter. Once PEF decreased below 70% of their best PEF, subjects were considered as treatment "failures". Both Eos% and TEC were significantly higher than in the controls, even in well-controlled (morning PEF > 80% of their best) asthmatic patients (p = 0.001, 0.03). The chance of treatment "failure" was significantly higher in those having more eosinophils (Eos% > 10%, TEC > 100) in their initial induced sputum sample (p = 0.03, 0.001). Airway inflammation still persists in many well-controlled chronic asthmatic patients, and induced sputum eosinophilia predicts an early decrease of PEF after reduction of inhaled corticosteroids.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The characteristic findings of pulmonary involvement in polymyositis (PM) or dermatomyositis (DM) and the change in findings before and after treatment were evaluated with sequential high-resolution CT studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS CT images of pulmonary involvement in 19 patients with PM or DM were reviewed. During a period of 2-61 months, 17 of these patients underwent sequential CT before and after treatment with corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or both. RESULTS Findings of the initial CT studies included pleural irregularities and prominent interlobular septa (n = 19), ground-glass attenuation (n = 19), patchy consolidation (n = 19), parenchymal bands (n = 15), irregular peribronchovascular thickening (n = 15), and subpleural lines (n = 7). Honeycombing was not detected on any CT images. These findings were more remarkable in the lower portion and the subpleural area of the lungs. In 16 of the 17 patients who underwent sequential CT conditions such as patchy consolidation, parenchymal bands, and irregular peribronchovascular thickening improved, becoming pleural irregularities and prominent interlobular septa, ground-glass attenuation, and subpleural lines on follow-up CT scans. CONCLUSION Consolidation with patchy and subpleural distribution, parenchymal bands, and irregular peribronchovascular thickening were characteristic and reversible CT findings in patients with PM or DM.

Abstract
We encountered a 73-year-old man with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and Baker's cyst. Venography revealed that the right popliteal vein was compressed by Baker's cyst and deep venous thrombosis (DVT) had developed. DVT associated with Baker's cyst is rather common and these two conditions are thought to be causally related. Baker's cyst is the most frequent mass lesion in the popliteal region. We suggest that Baker's cyst is a risk factor for PE as well as surgery and trauma.

Abstract
We encountered a patient with dermatomyositis complicated by sarcoidosis. A 57-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of fever dry cough, and myalgias. There were reticular shadows on her chest X-ray film. Although the typical skin rash and myositis suggested the diagnosis of dermatomyositis biopsy specimens from a salivary gland, muscle, and lung revealed noncaseating granulomas as well. Uveitis was also noted. These findings suggested the coexistence of sarcoidosis with dermatomyositis. Examination of the lung-biopsy specimens showed interstitial pneumonia compatible with dermatomyositis, except for the granuloma. The typical rash of dermatomyositis and pathological findings of the lung specimen were inconsistent with sarcoidosis. Therefore we concluded that this patient had both dermatomyositis and sarcoidosis. This case sheds new light on the importance of pathological examinations.
