Abstract
The pterygopalatine fossa and infratemporal fossa are often approached through an external incision because of their deep facial location, but this can present problems such as facial scarring and deformity. In schwannoma surgery, intraneural dissection is a useful surgical technique for achieving gross total resection while preserving the capsule, including the nerves. For appropriate enucleation and preservation of the functional nerve, it is indispensable to distinguish between the pseudocapsule and the tumor capsule. This case report presents a case of endonasal surgical intervention for an extracranial trigeminal schwannoma employing the tri-port approach and narrow-band imaging.

Abstract
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by elevated IgG4 serum levels, abundant IgG4-positive plasmacyte infiltration, and fibrosis of various organs, including the head and neck. We aimed to provide an overall review of IgG4-RD in the sinonasal region and propose a novel entity and criteria of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) associated with IgG4-RD as "IgG4-CRS," a distinct manifestation of IgG4-RD in the sinonasal region. Sinonasal involvement has been increasingly recognized; however, this region is not included in the classic IgG4-RD-affected organs. The clinical features of IgG4-CRS, including its prevalence and relationship with allergies and olfactory disturbances, have also been explored. Serum IgG4 levels and IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltrations, crucial diagnostic factors, have been discussed in association with IgG4-CRS pathogenesis. Fibrosis, a hallmark of IgG4-RD, is observed in sinonasal tissues; however, typical fibrosis, such as storiform fibrosis, is not usually found. Mimics or complications in eosinophilic CRS (ECRS) and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) are highlighted. Treatment often involves typically effective glucocorticoids. Organ-specific diagnostic criteria for the sinonasal region have not currently been established. Hence, this review aims to foster awareness and understanding of IgG4-CRS among ENT physicians and to provide a basis for future research and diagnostic refinement.

Abstract
The mechanism underlying the anti-inflammatory effect of macrolide antibiotics, such as clarithromycin (CAM), remains to be clarified. The CAM-binding proteins 4-nitrophenylphosphatase domain and non-neuronal synaptosomal associated protein 25 (SNAP25)-like protein homolog (NIPSNAP) 1 and 2 are involved in the immune response and mitochondrial homeostasis. However, the axis between CAM-NIPSNAP-mitochondria and Toll-like receptor (TLR) and their molecular mechanisms remain unknown. In this study, we sought to elucidate the relationship between mitochondrial homeostasis mediated by NIPSNAP1 and 2 and the immunomodulatory effect of CAM. NIPSNAP1 or 2 knockdown (KD) by RNA interference impaired TLR4-mediated interleukin-8 (IL-8) production. Similar impairment was observed upon treatment with mitochondrial function inhibitors. However, IL-8 secretion was not impaired in NIPSNAP1 and 2 individual knockout (KO) and double KO (DKO) cells. Moreover, the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in mitochondria measured using a flex analyzer was significantly reduced in NIPSNAP1 or 2 KD cells, but not in DKO cells. CAM also dose-dependently reduced the OCR. These results indicate that CAM suppresses the IL-8 production via the mitochondrial quality control regulated by temporary functional inhibition of NIPSNAP1 and 2. Our findings provide new insight into the mechanisms underlying cytokine production, including the TLR-mitochondria axis, and the immunomodulatory effects of macrolides.

Abstract
The relationships between T follicular helper (Tfh) cells and antigen-specific immunoglobulins (sIgs) in patients with allergic respiratory diseases who are receiving antigen immunotherapy (AIT) have not been fully clarified. Therefore, we started to perform house dust mite sublingual immunotherapy (HDM-SLIT) for 20 patients with atopic asthma comorbid with allergic rhinitis (AA+AR) who were already receiving ordinary treatments including inhaled corticosteroid (ICS). We examined percentages of circulating T follicular helper (cTfh) and regulatory (cTfr) cells and percentages of circulating regulatory T (cTreg) and B (cBreg) cells by FACS and we examined levels of Der-p/f sIgs by ELISA. Based on the symptom score (asthma control questionnaire: ACQ) and medication score ((global initiative for asthma: GINA) treatment step score) in patients with AA, the patients were divided into responders and non-responders. The percentage of cTfh2 cells significantly decreased and the percentage of cTfh1 cells significantly increased within the first year. Der-p/f sIgEs decreased after a transient elevation at 3 months in both groups. Notably, the percentage of cTfh2 cells and the ratio of cTfh2/cBreg cells and Der-p/f sIgEs greatly decreased in responders from 6 months to 12 months. The percentages of cTfr and cTreg cells showed significant negative correlations with the percentage of cTfh2 cells. The percentage of IL-4+ cTfh cells were significantly decreased and the percentage of IFN-γ+ cTfh cells were increased before treatment to 24 months in 6 patients examined (4 responders and 2 non-responders). We performed multi plelogistic regression analysis based on these results, the ratios of cTfh2/cTfr cells and cTfh2/cBreg cells at the start of therapy were statistically effective biomarkers for predicting the response to HDM-SLIT in patients with AA+AR.

Abstract
The memories for past autobiographical experiences that we share can influence relationship formation and consolidation with important implications for our mental health. However, little is known about how people's responses to our memories can influence subsequent memory sharing. Previous research examined how operant processes (i.e., punishment with aversive sounds) influence the sharing of memories for specific events from our past. Understanding the (social) mechanisms associated with difficulty sharing specific autobiographical memories is important given the association between these difficulties and a range of psychiatric diagnoses. We investigate the effects of verbal and non-verbal social operants on the willingness to share specific autobiographical memories. Participants shared memories with a confederate who coded their memories as specific or non-specific and responded in either an engaged/attentive, dismissive manner or gave no feedback depending on participants' assigned condition. Participants who were reinforced for sharing specific memories and punished for sharing non-specific memories, were more likely to share specific than non-specific memories compared to those who received no feedback. Reinforcement alone was not sufficient for modifying specificity. The ways that we respond to people when they share memories with us can influence their subsequent willingness to share specific events from their past.

Abstract
We previously showed that upregulation of adipocyte enhancer-binding protein 1 (AEBP1) in vascular endothelial cells promotes tumor angiogenesis. In the present study, we aimed to clarify the role of stromal AEBP1/ACLP expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Immunohistochemical analysis showed that ACLP is abundantly expressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in primary OSCC tissues and that upregulated expression of ACLP is associated with disease progression. Analysis using CAFs obtained from surgically resected OSCCs showed that the expression of AEBP1/ACLP in CAFs is upregulated by co-culture with OSCC cells or treatment with TGF-β1, suggesting cancer-cell-derived TGF-β1 induces AEBP1/ACLP in CAFs. Collagen gel contraction assays showed that ACLP contributes to the activation of CAFs. In addition, CAF-derived ACLP promotes migration, invasion, and in vivo tumor formation by OSCC cells. Notably, tumor stromal ACLP expression correlated positively with collagen expression and correlated inversely with CD8+ T cell infiltration into primary OSCC tumors. Boyden chamber assays suggested that ACLP in CAFs may attenuate CD8+ T cell migration. Our results suggest that stromal ACLP contributes to the development of OSCCs, and that ACLP is a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
The current study's objective was to elucidate some currently unknown biological indicators to evaluate the biological nature of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). For this purpose, four different CAFs, CAFS1, CAFS2, SCC17F and MO-1000, were established using surgical specimens from oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) with different clinical malignant stages (CAFS1 and CAFS2, T2N0M0, stage II; SCC17F and MO-1000, T4aN2bM0, stage IVA). Fibroblasts unrelated to cancer (non-CAFs) were also prepared and used as controls. Initially, confirmation that these four fibroblasts were indeed CAFs was obtained by their mRNA expression using positive and negative markers for the CAF or fibroblasts. To elucidate possible unknown biological indicators, these fibroblasts were subjected to a cellular metabolic analysis by a Seahorse bioanalyzer, in conjugation with 3D spheroid cultures of the cells and co-cultures with a pancreas ductal carcinoma cell line, MIA PaCa-2. The mitochondrial and glycolytic functions of human orbital fibroblasts (HOF) were nearly identical to those of Graves'-disease-related HOF (GOF). In contrast, the characteristics of the metabolic functions of these four CAFs were different from those of human conjunctival fibroblasts (HconF), a representative non-CAF. It is particularly noteworthy that CAFS1 and CAFS2 showed markedly reduced ratios for the rate of oxygen consumption to the extracellular acidification rate, suggesting that glycolysis was enhanced compared to mitochondrial respiration. Similarly, the physical aspects, their appearance and stiffness, of their 3D spheroids and fibroblasts that were induced effects based on the cellular metabolic functions of MIA PaCa-2 were also different between CAFs and non-CAFs, and their levels for CAFS1 or SCC17F were similar to those for CAFS2 or MO-1000 cells, respectively. The findings reported herein indicate that cellular metabolic functions and the physical characteristics of these types of 3D spheroids may be valuable and useful indicators for estimating potential biological diversity among various CAFs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are approved for the treatment of recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC), the response to ICIs remains unclear. AIMS/OBJECTIVES To summarize the clinical outcomes of patients with HNSCC treated with nivolumab (Nivo) in our institution, and provide a basis for research on biomarkers that can predict the efficacy of ICIs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-four patients with R/M HNSCC who received Nivo (2017-2022) were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS Despite the older age of this cohort (median age of 72 years), we observed favourable long-term outcomes, with an overall survival of 24.1 months, which could be attributed to our aggressive nutritional intervention. Older age, poor performance status (≥1), and higher Glasgow Prognostic Scores, reflecting the chronic inflammation and malnutrition of patients, were associated with poor prognoses, with hazard ratios for death of 2.63 (95% confidence interval [CI]; 1.07-6.46, p = .016), 3.50 (95% CI; 1.28-9.55, p = .001), and 2.69 (95% CI; 1.17-6.21, p = .029), respectively. Peripheral blood biomarker analysis revealed that systemic inflammation may negatively affect the efficacy of Nivo. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE Our results suggest that nutrition and inflammation must be the focus of future studies aiming to identify novel biomarkers.

Abstract
The cartilage-conduction hearing aid (CC-HA) is a new hearing device that is suitable for use in patients with conductive hearing loss. It has been 5 years since the introduction of the CC-HA. Although the number of users has increased, the CC-HA is not yet widely known. This study examines the effects of CC-HA on patients with conductive hearing loss and investigates factors that affect the willingness to use the device by comparing purchasers and non-purchasers of CC-HA in patients with unilateral conductive hearing loss. Eight patients had bilateral conductive hearing loss, and 35 had unilateral conductive hearing loss. Each patient underwent sound field tests and speech audiometry, and the effects of the CC-HA were compared with those of conventional bone conduction hearing aids (BC-HA). In patients with bilateral conductive hearing loss, the CC-HA was non-inferior to BC-HA. The CC-HA improved the hearing thresholds and speech recognition in patients with unilateral conductive hearing loss. Moreover, in patients with unilateral conductive hearing loss, experiencing the effect of wearing the CC-HA under conditions such as putting noise in the better ear could affect patients' willingness to use the CC-HA.

Abstract
Dupilumab (DUP) is a monoclonal antibody that acts on the interleukin (IL)-4 receptor alpha, which inhibits IL-4 and IL-13 signalling and is approved for type 2 inflammatory diseases such as asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis and atopic dermatitis; however, the efficacy of DUP to IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is under discussion due to the controversial outcomes based on the several case reports. Here, we reviewed the efficacy of DUP in four consecutive patients with IgG4-RD in our institute and the previous literature.All patients administered DUP fulfilled the 2019 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for IgG4-RD complicated with severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. Two cases were administered DUP without systemic glucocorticoids (GCs), and in 6 months, the volume of swollen submandibular glands (SMGs) was reduced by approximately 70%. Two cases receiving GCs successfully reduced their daily dose of GCs (10 and 50% reduction, respectively) with dupilumab in 6 months. In all four cases, serum IgG4 concentration and IgG4-RD responder index decreased in 6 months.DUP reduced the volume of the swollen SMGs, serum IgG4 levels, responder index and the daily dose of GCs in patients with IgG4-RD with severe asthma or eosinophilic rhinosinusitis in 6 months.The efficacy of DUP to IgG4-RD is under discussion due to the limited case reports with controversial outcomes. Here, we demonstrated that two patients with IgG4-RD treated by DUP without systemic GCs, showed volume reduction of swollen SMGs and two cases showed GC-sparing effects by DUP. DUP can ameliorate the disease activity and be a steroid-sparing agent in patients with IgG4-RD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The CXCL12/CXCR4 axis plays a pivotal role in the progression of various malignancies, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In this study, we aimed to clarify the biological and clinical significance of CXCL12 in the tumor microenvironment of OSCCs. METHODS Publicly available single-cell RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) datasets were used to analyze CXCL12 expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Immunohistochemical analysis of CXCL12, α-smooth muscle antigen (α-SMA), fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and CD8 was performed in a series of 47 surgically resected primary tongue OSCCs. Human skeletal muscle cells were co-cultured with or without OSCC cells, after which CXCL12 expression was analyzed using quantitative reverse-transcription PCR. RESULTS Analysis of the RNA-seq data suggested CXCL12 is abundantly expressed in stromal cells within HNSCC tissue. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that in grade 1 primary OSCCs, CXCL12 is expressed in both tumor cells and muscle cells. By contrast, grade 3 tumors were characterized by disruption of muscle structure and reduced CXCL12 expression. Quantitative analysis of CXCL12-positive areas within tumors revealed that reduced CXCL12 expression correlated with poorer overall survival. Levels of CXCL12 expression tended to inversely correlate α-SMA expression and positively correlate with infiltration by CD8+ lymphocytes, though these relations did not reach statistical significance. CXCL12 was significantly upregulated in muscle cells co-cultured with OSCC cells. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that tongue OSCC cells activate CXCL12 expression in muscle cells, which may contribute to tumor progression. However, CXCL12 is reduced in advanced OSCCs due to muscle tissue destruction.

Abstract
ObjectiveBasal information of head and neck small-cell carcinoma (HNSmCC) including epidemiology, primary site, treatment, and prognosis remains sparse due to its rarity. We report here a multicenter retrospective study on the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of patients with HNSmCC.Materials and methodsThis study involved 47 patients with HNSmCC from 10 participating institutions. Eight patients were excluded for whom no pathological specimens were available (n = 2) and for discrepant central pathological judgements (n = 6). The remaining 39 patients were processed for data analysis.ResultsAs pretreatment examinations, computed tomography (CT) was performed for the brain (n = 8), neck (n = 39), and chest (n = 32), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the brain (n = 4) and neck (n = 23), positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) in 23 patients, bone scintigraphy in 4, neck ultrasonography in 9, and tumor markers in 25. Primary sites were oral cavity (n = 1), nasal cavity/paranasal sinuses (n = 16), nasopharynx (n = 2), oropharynx (n = 4), hypopharynx (n = 2), larynx (n = 6), salivary gland (n = 3), thyroid (n = 2), and others (n = 3). Stages were II/III/IV-A/IV-B/IV-C/Not determined = 3/5/16/6/5/4; stage IV comprised 69%. No patient had brain metastases. First-line treatments were divided into 3 groups: the chemoradiotherapy (CRT) group (n = 27), non-CRT group (n = 8), and best supportive care group (n = 4). The CRT group included concurrent CRT (CCRT) (n = 17), chemotherapy (Chemo) followed by radiotherapy (RT) (n = 5), and surgery (Surg) followed by CCRT (n = 5). The non-CRT group included Surg followed by RT (n = 2), Surg followed by Chemo (n = 1), RT alone (n = 2), and Chemo alone (n = 3). The 1-year/2-year overall survival (OS) of all 39 patients was 65.3/53.3%. The 1-year OS of the CRT group (77.6%) was significantly better compared with the non-CRT group (31.3%). There were no significant differences in adverse events between the CCRT group (n = 22) and the Chemo without concurrent RT group (n = 9).ConclusionNeck and chest CT, neck MRI, and PET-CT would be necessary and sufficient examinations in the diagnostic set up for HNSmCC. CCRT may be recommended as the first-line treatment. The 1-year/2-year OS was 65.3%/53.3%. This study would provide basal data for a proposing the diagnostic and treatment algorithms for HNSmCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tubarial glands (TGs) are a collection of unidentified salivary glands overlying the torus tubarius in the nasopharyngeal wall. Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a chronic fibroinflammatory state that often has multiple organ involvement. Involvement of the head and neck, especially the salivary glands, is common in IgG4-RD. AIMS/OBJECTIVES This study aimed to elucidate the clinical significance of TGs in IgG4-RD. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated the local findings of TGs in ten patients with IgG4-RD. RESULTS Nasopharyngeal endoscopic examination revealed oedematous swelling of the nasopharyngeal wall surrounding the TGs, which improved after steroid treatment. Moreover, sonotubometry showed a stenotic pattern in three out of seven patients with IgG4-RD. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE TGs may be involved in IgG4-RD. The swollen TGs may be responsible for obstructive Eustachian tube dysfunction. Further studies are required to clarify the clinical significance and physiological roles of TGs in IgG4-RD.

Abstract
Simple Summary The p53 family p63 gene is essential for the proliferation and differentiation of various epithelial cells, and it is overexpressed in some salivary gland neoplasia. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are thought to play a crucial role in carcinogenesis, and HDAC inhibitors downregulate p63 expression in cancers. p63 is not only a diagnostic marker of salivary gland neoplasia, but it also promotes the malignancy. Inhibition of HDAC and signal transduction pathways inhibited cell proliferation and migration, induced tight junctions, and promoted differentiation in p63-positive salivary duct adenocarcinoma (SDC). It is, therefore, useful in therapy for p63-positive SDC cells. Abstract Background: The p53 family p63 is essential for the proliferation and differentiation of various epithelial basal cells. It is overexpressed in several cancers, including salivary gland neoplasia. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are thought to play a crucial role in carcinogenesis, and HDAC inhibitors downregulate p63 expression in cancers. Methods: In the present study, to investigate the roles and regulation of p63 in salivary duct adenocarcinoma (SDC), human SDC cell line A253 was transfected with siRNA-p63 or treated with the HDAC inhibitors trichostatin A (TSA) and quisinostat (JNJ-26481585). Results: In a DNA array, the knockdown of p63 markedly induced mRNAs of the tight junction (TJ) proteins cingulin (CGN) and zonula occuludin-3 (ZO-3). The knockdown of p63 resulted in the recruitment of the TJ proteins, the angulin-1/lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR), occludin (OCLN), CGN, and ZO-3 at the membranes, preventing cell proliferation, and leading to increased cell metabolism. Treatment with HDAC inhibitors downregulated the expression of p63, induced TJ structures, recruited the TJ proteins, increased the epithelial barrier function, and prevented cell proliferation and migration. Conclusions: p63 is not only a diagnostic marker of salivary gland neoplasia, but it also promotes the malignancy. Inhibition of HDAC and signal transduction pathways is, therefore, useful in therapy for p63-positive SDC cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Smell and taste disorders are among the most common symptoms of COVID-19. However, the relationship between smell and taste disorders and systemic symptoms is not fully understood in Japan. PATIENTS AND METHODS Questionnaires were mailed to 105 of 111 COVID-19 patients who were hospitalized at our hospital between March and July 2020 in Japan. RESULTS A total of 74 patients (response rate: 70.5%) completed the survey. Of these, six patients (8.1%) presented with smell disorders only, 16 (21.6%) presented with taste disorders only, and 17 (23.0%) presented with both smell and taste disorders. The mean Visual Analog Scale for smell and taste was 0.5 and 20, respectively, at the time of the most severe symptoms. CONCLUSION Among COVID-19 patients in Japan, smell and taste disorders are often followed by fever and may not be the first symptoms. Sense of smell is particularly impaired. These symptoms often improve, although they sometimes persist for a long time as sequelae.

Abstract
The transcription factor FOXO3 is necessary to preserve cochlear hair cells. Growth factors, including TGF-β, closely contribute to cochlear hair cell regeneration. In the present study, to investigate the roles of FOXO3 in the ciliogenesis and cell functions of cochlear hair cells, UB/OC-2 temperature-sensitive mouse cochlear precursor hair cells were treated with TGF-β receptor type 1 inhibitor EW-7197 or EGF receptor inhibitor AG-1478 after transfection with or without siRNA-FOXO3a. GeneChip analysis revealed that treatment with EW-7197 increased Foxo3 genes and decreased genes of Smads. During cell differentiation, treatment with EW-7197 or AG-1478 induced an increase in length of cilia-like structures that were positive for acetylated tubulin and inhibited cell migration. Treatment with EW-7197 also increased cell metabolism measured as mitochondrial basal respiration (oxygen consumption rate). The effects of EW-7197 were stronger than those of AG-1478. Knockdown of FOXO3 prevented the growth of cilia-like structures induced by EW-7197 or AG-1478 and induced cell migration under treatment with EW-7197. No change of the epithelial cell polarity molecule PAR3 was observed with any treatment. Treatment with the antimicrobial agent amikacin prevented the growth of cilia-like structures induced by EW-7197 and induced apoptosis. Pretreatment with the glucocorticoid dexamethasone inhibited the apoptosis induced by amikacin. This in vitro model of mouse cochlear hair cells suggests that FOXO3/TGF-β signaling plays a crucial role in ciliogenesis and cell functions during differentiation of cochlear hair cells. This model is useful for analysis of the mechanisms of hearing loss and to find therapeutic agents to prevent it.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tubarial glands (TGs) are recently refocused gland tissues localized near the tori tubarius in the nasopharynx and their clinical relevance is not clear yet. IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a progressive fibrosing condition and salivary glands are well-affected lesions. The aim of the present study is to examine [18F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F]FDG) accumulation to the tori tubarius in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). METHODS 48 patients with IgG4-RD who underwent positron emission tomography (PET) scanning with [18F]FDG were included and semi-quantitative analysis of [18F]FDG accumulation to tori tubarius was performed along with the clinical features and histopathological analysis. RESULTS Of the 48 patients, abnormal [18F]FDG accumulation (metabolic tumour volume ≥ 1) to tori tubarius was observed in 15 (31.3%), all of whom had lesions in other head and neck glands. IgG4-RD patients with abnormal [18F]FDG accumulation to tori tubarius showed swollen nasopharyngeal walls around tori tubarius and forceps biopsy of the lesion revealed acinar cells and IgG4-positive plasma cells histologically. Abnormal [18F]FDG accumulation (maximum standard uptake value, metabolic tumour volume and total lesion glycolysis) to tori tubarius correlated with higher IgG4 and lower IgA serum concentrations. CONCLUSIONS Abnormal [18F]FDG accumulation to tori tubarius can be observed in patients with IgG4-RD and the abnormal [18F]FDG accumulation to tori tubarius can be a clue of TG involvement in IgG4-RD.

Abstract
Airway and intestinal epithelial permeability barriers are crucial in epithelial homeostasis. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), increased by various stimuli, is involved in the induction of airway inflammation, as well as the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. HMGB1 enhances epithelial hyperpermeability. Two-and-a-half dimensional (2.5D) culture assays are experimentally convenient and induce cells to form a more physiological tissue architecture than 2D culture assays for molecular transfer mechanism analysis. In 2.5D culture, treatment with HMGB1 induced permeability of FITC-dextran into the lumen formed by human lung, nasal and intestinal epithelial cells. The tricellular tight junction molecule angulin-1/LSR is responsible for the epithelial permeability barrier at tricellular contacts and contributes to various human airway and intestinal inflammatory diseases. In this review, we indicate the mechanisms including angulin-1/LSR and multiple signaling in dysfunction of the epithelial permeability barrier induced by HMGB1 in 2.5D culture of human airway and intestinal epithelial cells.

Abstract
The airway epithelium of the human nasal mucosa acts as a physical barrier that protects against inhaled substances and pathogens via bicellular and tricellular tight junctions (bTJs and tTJs) including claudins, angulin-1/LSR and tricellulin. High mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) increased by TGF-β1 is involved in the induction of nasal inflammation and injury in patients with allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis. However, the detailed mechanisms by which this occurs remain unknown. In the present study, to investigate how HMGB1 affects the barrier of normal human nasal epithelial cells, 2D and 2.5D Matrigel culture of primary cultured human nasal epithelial cells were pretreated with TGF-β type I receptor kinase inhibitor EW-7197 before treatment with HMGB1. Knockdown of angulin-1/LSR downregulated the epithelial barrier. Treatment with EW-7197 decreased angulin-1/LSR and concentrated the expression at tTJs from bTJs and increased the epithelial barrier. Treatment with a binder to angulin-1/LSR angubindin-1 decreased angulin-1/LSR and the epithelial barrier. Treatment with HMGB1 decreased angulin-1/LSR and the epithelial barrier. In 2.5D Matrigel culture, treatment with HMGB1 induced permeability of FITC-dextran (FD-4) into the lumen. Pretreatment with EW-7197 prevented the effects of HMGB1. HMGB1 disrupted the angulin-1/LSR-dependent epithelial permeability barriers of HNECs via TGF-β signaling in HNECs.

Abstract
Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is characterized by sterile pustules on the palms and soles. A strong association between PPP and tobacco smoking has been reported, and it has been speculated that the IL-17A pathway may play an important role in PPP. Recent studies have suggested that IL-36 plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and its subtypes. The relationships among IL-36, smoking, and PPP have not been examined. Here, we investigated the relationships among the smoking index, severity of the clinical condition of PPP, and in vitro dynamics of IL-36 in human tonsillar epithelial cells under the condition of exposure to a cigarette smoke extract. The results demonstrated that the Palmoplantar Pustulosis Area and Severity Index was strongly and positively correlated with the smoking index in female patients. Immunohistochemical examinations showed that IL-36γ was highly expressed in tonsillar epithelial cells from patients with PPP but not in those from patients with recurrent tonsillitis without PPP. The in vitro study revealed that IL-17A synergistically induced a release of IL-36γ under cigarette smoke extract exposure. These results suggest that local production of IL-36γ by epithelial cells induced by cigarette smoke exposure plays an important role in the pathogenesis of PPP.

Contemporary cognitive models of depression propose that cognitive biases for negative information at the level of attention (attention biases; AB) and interpretation (interpretation biases; IB) increase depression risk by promoting maladaptive emotion regulation (ER). So far, empirical support testing interactions between these variables is restricted to non-clinical and clinical adult samples. The aim of the current study was to extend these findings to a sample of children and adolescents. This cross-sectional study included 109 children aged 9–14 years who completed behavioural measures of AB (passive-viewing task) and IB (scrambled sentences task) as well as self-report measures of ER and depressive symptoms. In order to maximize the variance in these outcomes we included participants with a clinical diagnosis of depression as well as non-depressed youth with an elevated familial risk of depression and non-depressed youth with a low familial risk of depression. Path model analysis indicated that all variables (AB, IB, adaptive and maladaptive ER) had a direct effect on depressive symptoms. IB and AB also had significant indirect effects on depressive symptoms via maladaptive and adaptive ER. These findings provide initial support for the role of ER as a mediator between cognitive biases and depressive symptoms and provide the foundations for future experimental and longitudinal studies. In contrast to studies in adult samples, both adaptive as well as maladaptive ER mediated the effect of cognitive biases on depressive symptoms. This suggests potentially developmental differences in the role of ER across the lifespan.

Abstract
Purpose This study aims to describe the recommended equipment and procedures required for successful telefitting, based on our experience, document and evaluate patient satisfaction with telefitting, and assess its clinical usefulness and address the existing issues. Method Twenty (seven children and 13 adults) individuals who lived far from cochlear implant (CI) centers and who were Nucleus CI users underwent conventional face-to-face fitting and telefitting. We examined the participants' subjective satisfaction and cost and time saved with the telefitting experience. Results The telefitting sessions lasted for an average of 16 min. Majority of the participants responded positively to the telefitting experience. Eighty percent (16/20) of the participants were satisfied with the new procedure, and 85% of them agreed to use telefitting again. Conclusions The results of our feasibility study suggest that telefitting was well received by CI users and is a viable alternative to local MAPping, even in young children with CIs. Although there are some limitations in terms of adaptability, telefitting could be an effective means of delivering CI service to remote locations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Tracheostomy performed on patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to the infection of operators and medical staff. To date, there are no established methods of infection control. The aim of this study was to provide helpful and useful information regarding tracheostomy during the COVID-19 pandemic. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis on 12 patients with severe COVID-19 who were intubated and underwent tracheostomy in our hospital. RESULTS Percutaneous tracheostomy was performed in eight cases, and open tracheostomy was performed in four cases. Open tracheostomy in the operating room was performed under a negative pressure closed-space system using a surgical drape to prevent aerosolization. CONCLUSION Our experience suggests that bedside percutaneous tracheostomy may be a useful option in patients with COVID-19. In cases where percutaneous tracheostomy is anticipated to be difficult, open tracheostomy using a negative pressure closure may be useful in preventing aerosolization and reducing the risk of infection of healthcare workers.

Abstract
Of the schwannomas that arise from the parapharyngeal space, those in the high cervical region are particularly invasive, requiring mandibular dissection. Because these tumors are benign, however, excessive surgical invasion and postoperative neurological complications should be avoided. Postoperative dropout symptoms may be avoided by intracapsular extraction, including nerve integrity monitoring (NIM) and narrow-band imaging (NBI). Video laryngoscopy surgery is reported to be useful for transoral resection of pharyngeal and laryngeal tumors. This report describes the transoral removal of a giant schwannoma located in the high cervical region from a 74-years-old man using a surgical support device without mandibular dissection. The tumor was located on the right lateral pharyngeal wall and extended from the upper oropharynx to the hypopharynx while compressing the epiglottis to the skull base. No separation was observed between the internal jugular vein and the internal carotid artery. The tumor was diagnosed as a schwannoma with no malignancy on the basis of the histology of a core needle biopsy (CNB), and was completely and safely removed endoscopically using NIM and NBI, with no need for an external incision or mandibular dissection. This case illustrates that even a huge sympathetic schwannoma located in the parapharyngeal space at a high cervical position can be excised transorally using video-laryngoscopic surgery (TOVS) without mandibular dissection.

Abstract
Tumor angiogenesis is an important therapeutic target in colorectal cancer (CRC). We aimed to identify novel genes associated with angiogenesis in CRC. Using RNA sequencing analysis in normal and tumor endothelial cells (TECs) isolated from primary CRC tissues, we detected frequent upregulation of adipocyte enhancer‐binding protein 1 (AEBP1) in TECs. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that AEBP1 is upregulated in TECs and stromal cells in CRC tissues. Quantitative RT‐PCR analysis showed that there is little or no AEBP1 expression in CRC cell lines, but that AEBP1 is well expressed in vascular endothelial cells. Levels of AEBP1 expression in Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were upregulated by tumor conditioned medium derived from CRC cells or by direct coculture with CRC cells. Knockdown of AEBP1 suppressed proliferation, migration, and in vitro tube formation by HUVECs. In xenograft experiments, AEBP1 knockdown suppressed tumorigenesis and microvessel formation. Depletion of AEBP1 in HUVECs downregulated a series of genes associated with angiogenesis or endothelial function, including aquaporin 1 (AQP1) and periostin (POSTN), suggesting that AEBP1 might promote angiogenesis through regulation of those genes. These results suggest that upregulation of AEBP1 contributes to tumor angiogenesis in CRC, which makes AEBP1 a potentially useful therapeutic target.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine pathological features of T peripheral helper (Tph)-like (PD-1+CXCR5-CD4+ T) cells in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). METHODS Tph-like cells in the blood and submandibular glands (SMGs) from IgG4-RD patients were analyzed by flow cytometry. Correlations between level of a Tph-like cell subset and clinical parameters of IgG4-RD were investigated. The cytotoxic capacity of Tph-like cells was also examined. Expression profiles of a molecule related to a Tph-like cell subset in IgG4-RD SMGs were assessed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Tph-like cells from IgG4-RD patients highly expressed a fractalkine receptor, CX3CR1. Percentages of circulating CX3CR1+ Tph-like cells were significantly correlated with clinical parameters including IgG4-RD Responder Index, number of involved organs, and serum level of soluble IL-2 receptor. CX3CR1+ Tph-like cells abundantly possessed cytotoxic T lymphocyte-related molecules such as granzyme A, perforin, and G protein-coupled receptor 56. Functional assays revealed their cytotoxic potential against vascular endothelial cells and ductal epithelial cells. Immunohistochemistry showed that fractalkine was markedly expressed in vascular endothelial cells and ductal epithelial cells in IgG4-RD SMGs. CONCLUSION CX3CR1+ Tph-like cells are thought to contribute to persistent tissue injury in IgG4-RD and are a potential clinical marker and/or therapeutic target for inhibiting progression of IgG4-RD.

Abstract
Background Youth depression is highly prevalent and is related to impairments in academic, social and behavioural functioning. Evidence-based treatments are available, but many young people do not respond or sufficiently recover with first-line options, and a significant proportion experience relapse. Consequently, there is clear scope to enhance intervention in this critical period of early-onset depression. Memory specificity training (MeST) is a low-intensity intervention for depression that targets reduced specificity when recalling memories of the past, a common cognitive vulnerability in depression. This randomised controlled trial will assess the efficacy of adding a computerised version of MeST (c-MeST) to usual care for youth depression. Methods/design Young people aged 15–25 years with a major depressive episode (MDE) will be recruited and randomised to have immediate access to the seven session online c-MeST program in addition to usual care, or to usual care and wait-list for c-MeST. The primary outcomes will be diagnostic status of an MDE and self-reported depressive symptoms assessed at baseline, 1-, 3- and 6-month intervals. Autobiographical memory specificity and other variables thought to contribute to the maintenance of reduced memory specificity and depression will be assessed as mediators of change. Discussion Online provision of c-MeST provides a simple, low-intensity option for targeting a cognitive vulnerability that predicts the persistence of depressive symptoms. If found to be efficacious as an adjunct to usual care for depressed youth, it could be suitable for broader roll-out, as c-MeST is highly accessible and implementation requires only minimal resources due to the online and automated nature of intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Characteristic of the cardinal symptom of anhedonia, people with clinical depression report lower levels of anticipatory pleasure. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying these deficits are poorly understood. This is the first study to assess whether, and to what extent, phenomenological characteristics of episodic future thinking for positive future events are associated with anticipatory pleasure among depressed individuals. METHODS Individuals with a Major Depressive Episode (MDE; N = 117) and without (N = 47) completed ratings scales for depressive symptoms and trait anticipatory and consummatory pleasure. They then provided descriptions of personally-relevant positive future events and rated them for phenomenological characteristics and state anticipatory pleasure. RESULTS Between-groups analysis showed that those with MDE reported lower trait anticipatory and consummatory pleasure. They also simulated future events with less specificity, less detail/vividness, less use of mental imagery, less use of first-person perspective, less plausibility/perceived likelihood of occurring, and reported less associated state anticipatory pleasure. In regression analyses in the depressed group, lower scores for detail/vividness, mental imagery, and personal significance all uniquely predicted lower state anticipatory pleasure. LIMITATIONS Cognitive functioning was not assessed, which may help clarify deficits that underpin these findings. History of previous depressive episodes in the comparison group were not assessed, which may mean the observed between-group effects are underestimated. CONCLUSIONS This study provides further evidence of deficits in episodic future thinking and anticipatory pleasure in depressed individuals. It also establishes links between particular characteristics of episodic future thinking and state anticipatory pleasure, and indicates cognitive targets that may be amenable to intervention in order to reduce anhedonia.

Abstract
Epithelial integrity and barrier function are maintained during cytokinesis in vertebrate epithelial tissues. The changes in localization and the roles of tricellular tight junction molecule lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR) during cytokinesis are not well known, although new tricellular tight junctions form at the flank of the midbody during cytokinesis. In this study, we investigated the changes in localization and the role of LSR at the midbody and centrosome during cytokinesis using human endometrial carcinoma cell line Sawano, comparing the tricellular tight junction molecule tricellulin; bicellular tight junction molecules occludin, claudin-7, zonula occludens-1, and cingulin; and the epithelial polarized related molecules apoptosis-stimulating of p53 protein 2, PAR3, and yes-associated protein. During cytokinesis induced by treatment with taxol, the epithelial barrier was maintained and the tricellular tight junction molecules LSR and tricellulin were concentrated at the flank of the acetylated tubulin-positive midbody and in γ-tubulin-positive centrosomes with the dynein adaptor Hook2, whereas the other molecules were localized there as well. All the molecules disappeared by knockdown using small interfering RNAs. Furthermore, by the knockdown of Hook2, the epithelial barrier was maintained and most of the molecules disappeared from the centrosome. These findings suggest that LSR may play crucial roles not only in barrier function but also in cytokinesis.

Abstract
Primary cilia, regulated via distinct signal transduction pathways, play crucial roles in various cellular behaviors. However, the full regulatory mechanism involved in primary cilia development during cellular differentiation is not fully understood, particularly for the sensory hair cells of the mammalian cochlea. In this study, we investigated the effects of the Rho-kinase inhibitor Y27632 and PKCα inhibitor GF109203X on primary cilia-related cell behavior in undifferentiated and differentiated temperature-sensitive mouse cochlear precursor hair cells (the conditionally immortalized US/VOT-E36 cell line). Our results indicate that treatment with Y27632 or GF109203X induced primary cilia elongation and tubulin acetylation in both differentiated and undifferentiated cells. Concomitant with cilia elongation, Y27632 treatment also increased Hook2 and cyclinD1 expression, while only Hook2 expression was increased after treatment with GF109203X. In the undifferentiated cells, we observed an increase in the number of S and G2/M stage cells and a decrease of G1 cells after treatment with Y27632, while the opposite was observed after treatment with GF109203X. Finally, while both treatments decreased oxidative stress, only treatment with Y27632, not GF109203X, induced cell cycle-dependent cell proliferation and cell migration.

Abstract
Rho-kinase inhibitor Y27632, which is a factor in conditional reprogramming culture, induces airway progenitor clone formation. To investigate whether Y27632 enhances airway progenitor cells in nasal epithelium, primary cultures of HNECs transfected with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT-HNECs) were treated with Y27632. In TERT-HNECs treated with Y27632 for 5 days, upregulation of p63, gap junction molecules Cx26, Cx30, Cx43, cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP2C9, CYP2C18, CYP39A1, CYP4B1, CYP2G1P, CYP4Z1, and KLF families KLF10 and KLF11 were observed compared to the control. Downregulation of tight junction molecules claudin-4, -7, and -23 was observed. Circumfential submembrane F-actin was also induced. The functions of gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) and the epithelial barrier were upregulated. Knockdown of p63 by siRNAs of TAp63 or ΔNp63 inhibited Cx26, Cx43 and CYP2C18, and induced claudin-1, and -4. Knockdown of KLF11 prevented p63 expression and enhancement of the epithelial barrier function by Y27632. In nasal mucosal tissues from patients with allergic rhinitis (AR), localized alteration of p63, KLF11, RhoA, Cx30 and claudin-4 was observed. Treatment with Y27632 in long-term culture induced airway progenitor cells via KLF11 in p63-positive human nasal epithelium. Airway progenitor cells of nasal epithelium induced by Y27632 is important in understanding upper airway disease-specific characteristics.

Abstract
Objective The aim was to study the pathological role of lymphocytes with a peripheral T helper-cell-like phenotype (PD-1+CXCR5−CD4+) in IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). Methods PD-1+CXCR5−CD4+ T cells in the blood of patients with IgG4-RD (n = 53), patients with SS (n = 16) and healthy volunteers (n = 34) as controls were analysed by flow cytometry. Correlations between results obtained by flow cytometry and clinical parameters relevant to IgG4-RD were also analysed. Results The percentage and absolute number of PD-1+CXCR5− cells within total CD4+ T cells in IgG4-RD patients were significantly increased compared with those in healthy volunteers. Further analysis showed that there were marked positive correlations of the percentage of PD-1+CXCR5−CD4+ T cells with the serum level of IgG4 and the number of organs involved. Interestingly, granzyme A (GZMA)+ cells were enriched in PD-1+CXCR5−CD4+ T cells, and the percentage and absolute number of GZMA+PD-1+CXCR5−CD4+ T cells were significantly elevated in IgG4-RD patients. Although no obvious change was observed in the percentage of total CD4+ T cells, the percentage and absolute number of PD-1+CXCR5−CD4+ T cells decreased in accordance with a reduction of serum IgG4 level after treatment with glucocorticoids. Conclusion In IgG4-RD, circulating CD4+ T-cell populations were composed of PD-1+CXCR5− cells, and the ratios of these cells were correlated with clinical manifestations of IgG4-RD. Further analysis of GZMA+PD-1+CXCR5−CD4+ T cells might lead to a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of ectopic lymphoid follicles and the persistent inflammation in IgG4-RD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM To analyze the clinical features and prevalence of synchronous and metachronous second primary malignancies (SPMs) in patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC), their associated risk factors, and cause-specific mortality. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 136 patients treated with curative intent at our hospital. Statistical analyses were performed to determine factors predictive of SPM and cause-specific mortality. RESULTS Sixty-three of 136 patients (46.3%) developed SPM; of these, 41 (30.1%) and 42 (30.9%) had synchronous and metachronous SPMs, respectively, with patient overlap. The most common site of synchronous and metachronous SPMs was the oesophagus (65.8% and 24.4%, respectively); the corresponding overall survival rates were 34.1% and 66.5%, respectively. Furthermore, heavy drinking was significantly correlated with synchronous SPM (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Oesophageal cancer surveillance is recommended for patients with HSCC, especially heavy drinkers. Our findings may help identify and properly manage HSCC patients at high risk of SPMs.

Abstract
The plaque-forming assay is the standard technique for determining viral titer, and a critical measurement for investigating viral replication. However, this assay is highly dependent on experimental technique and conditions. In the case of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in particular, it can be difficult to objectively confirm the accuracy of plaque-forming assay because the plaques made by RSV are often small and unclear. In recent studies, RT-qPCR methods have emerged as a supportive procedure for assessment of viral titer, yielding highly sensitive and reproducible results. In this report, we compare the viral replication, as determined by plaque-forming assay, and the copy numbers of RSV genes NS1, NS2, N, and F, as determined by RT-qPCR. Two real-time PCR systems, SYBR Green and TaqMan probe, gave highly similar results for measurement of copy numbers of RSV N genes of virus subgroups A. We determined the RSV gene copy numbers in the culture cell supernatant and cell lysate measured at various multiplicities of infection. We found that copy number of the RSV N gene in the culture supernatant and cell lysate was highly correlated with plaque-forming units. In conclusion, RT-qPCR measurement of RSV gene copy number was highly dependent on viral titer, and the detailed comparison between each gene copy number and virus titer should be useful and supportive in confirming RSV plaque-forming assay and virus dynamics. The technique may also be used to estimate the amount of RSV present in clinical specimens.

Abstract
Guanylate-binding protein-1 (GBP-1) is an interferon-inducible large GTPase involved in the epithelial barrier at tight junctions. To investigate the role of GBP-1 in the epithelial barrier, primary human salivary gland duct epithelial cells were treated with the the proinflammatory cytokines IFNγ, IL-1β, TNFα and the growth factor TGF-β. Treatment with IFNγ, IL-1β, or TNFα markedly enhanced GBP-1 and the epithelial barrier function, and induced not only CLDN-7 but also the tricellular tight junction molecule lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR). Knockdown of GBP-1 by its siRNA induced endocytosis of tight junction molecules, and prevented the increases of CLDN-7 and LSR with the upregulation of the epithelial barrier function induced by treatment with IFNγ or TNFα. Treatment with a PKCα inhibitor induced expression of GBP-1, CLDN-7 and LSR and enhanced the epithelial barrier function. In almost intact salivary gland ducts from patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) indicated significant infiltration of IgG-positive plasma cells, expression of GBP-1, CLDN-7 and LSR was increased. These findings indicated that GBP-1 might play a crucial role in barrier function of normal human salivary gland duct epithelium and perform a preventive role in the duct epithelium of IgG4-RD disease.

Abstract
The expression pattern of tight junction proteins (TJPs) varies among organs and tumor types. In this study, we examined the immunoreactivity of claudin (CLDN)-1, -4, and -7, and JAM-A in salivary gland tumors (SGTs) by histological types and cell types to estimate their usefulness as differential diagnostic markers. Immunoreactivity of CLDN1 was higher in ductal epithelium cells of SGTs than in non-tumor tissues. Conversely, immunoreactivity of CLDN1 was significantly decreased in basal/myoepithelium cells of SGTs compared with that in non-tumor tissues. There was no significant difference between the immunoreactivity of CLDN1 in benign tumors and that in malignant tumors. Immunoreactivity of CLDN4, CLDN7, and JAM-A in ductal epithelium cells was higher in many SGTs than in non-tumor tissues. There was a difference depending on the histological type of SGT in immunoreactivity of CLDN4, CLDN7, and JAM-A in basaloid/myoepithelial cells. It was possible to classify SGTs by a hierarchical clustering using immunoreactivity of TJPs. The results suggest that an immunohistochemical marker panel including these TJPs may be useful for differential diagnosis of SGTs and that CLDN1 is associated with tumorigenesis of SGTs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Skin hydration is generally assessed using the parameters of skin surface water content (SWC) and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). To date, few studies have characterized skin conditions using correlations between skin hydration parameters and corneocyte parameters. AIMS The parameters SWC and TEWL allow the classification of skin conditions into four distinct Groups. The purpose of this study was to assess the characteristics of skin conditions classified by SWC and TEWL for correlations with parameters from corneocytes. METHODS A human volunteer test was conducted that measured SWC and TEWL. As corneocyte-derived parameters, the size and thick abrasion ratios, the ratio of sulfhydryl groups and disulfide bonds (SH/SS) and CP levels were analyzed. RESULTS Volunteers were classified by their median SWC and TEWL values into 4 Groups: Group I (high SWC/low TEWL), Group II (high SWC/high TEWL), Group III (low SWC/low TEWL), and Group IV (low SWC/high TEWL). Group IV showed a significantly smaller size of corneocytes. Groups III and IV had significantly higher thick abrasion ratios and CP levels. Group I had a significantly lower SH/SS value. The SWC/TEWL value showed a decline in order from Group I to Group IV. CONCLUSION Groups classified by their SWC and TEWL values showed characteristic skin conditions. We propose that the SWC and TEWL ratio is a comprehensive parameter to assess skin conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Patients with immunoglobulin-G4 related disease (IgG4-RD) diagnosed according to the comprehensive diagnostic criteria (CDC) show varied therapeutic responses and prognoses. We assumed that there are clinical stages in IgG4-RD and have verified it using serum cytokine levels in the groups classified by lesion distribution. METHODS Definite IgG4-related dacryoadenitis and sialadenitis (IgG4-DS) cases were divided according to the CDC for IgG4-RD into 11 cases with focal type and 30 cases with systemic type. The levels of serum interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-15, IL-21, interferon (IFN)-α, IFN-γ, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 were measured in healthy controls, allergic patients, probable IgG4-RD cases, and focal and systemic type cases. The cytokine environment was analyzed in each group. The 52 definite IgG4-RD cases were next classified into four groups with cluster analysis in terms of therapeutic responses and prognosis. The relationships between each cytokine level and therapeutic responses were also analyzed. RESULTS Both serum IL-5 and IFN-α concentrations were very low in healthy controls, but they increased in the allergic cases, probable cases, and focal and systemic type cases. The level of serum IL-5 was significantly higher in definite cases than in healthy controls. The serum IL-5 level was also significantly increased in the groups with a poor prognosis than in the good prognosis group. CONCLUSION These results suggest that there are clinical stages in IgG4-RD, and serum IL-5 play roles in the pathogenesis of IgG4-RD.
