Abstract
Introduction Neuroendocrine prostate cancer has a poor prognosis. Although disseminated intravascular coagulation associated with malignancy can be lethal, it very rarely occurs among patients with primary neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Case presentation An 80-year-old man presented to our hospital with bloody sputum. Blood examination indicated disseminated intravascular coagulation. Serum levels of prostate-specific antigen and neuron-specific enolase were 44.274 and 176 ng/mL, respectively. Core needle biopsies of an irregular mass in the prostate and a metastatic tumor in the left iliac bone showed similar neuroendocrine carcinoma cells. Hence, the patient was diagnosed with disseminated intravascular coagulation associated with primary and metastatic neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Unfortunately, he passed away 3 weeks after the biopsies. Conclusion Given the difficulty of effectively treating metastatic neuroendocrine prostate cancer among patients in poor physical condition due to disease progression, identifying a new well-tolerated treatment modality is imperative.

Abstract
Background and Aim To date, no randomized trials have compared the efficacy of 7-day vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and metronidazole triple therapy (VAM) versus 7-day vonoprazan, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin triple therapy (VAC) as a first-line treatment for Helicobacter pylori eradication. This study was performed to compare the efficacy of VAM and VAC as first-line treatments. Methods This prospective multicenter randomized trial was performed in Japan and involved 124 H. pylori-positive patients without a history of eradication. Patients without antibiotic resistance testing of H. pylori were eligible. The patients were randomized to receive either VAC (vonoprazan 20 mg + amoxicillin 750 mg + clarithromycin 200 or 400 mg twice a day) or VAM (vonoprazan 20 mg + amoxicillin 750 mg + metronidazole 250 mg twice a day) for 7 days, with stratification by age and sex. Eradication success was evaluated using the 13C-urea breath test. We evaluated safety using patient questionnaires (UMIN000025773). Results The intention-to-treat and per-protocol eradication rates of VAM were 91.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 82.0-96.7%) and 92.6% (95% CI, 83.7-97.6%), respectively, and those of VAC were 89.1% (95% CI, 77.8-95.9%) and 96.1% (95% CI, 86.5-99.5%), respectively. No significant difference was observed between VAM and VAC in either analysis (P = 0.76 and P = 0.70, respectively). Abdominal fullness was more frequent in patients who received VAM than VAC. Conclusions These findings suggest that VAM as a first-line treatment in Japan can be categorized as grade B (intention-to-treat cure rate of 90-95%) and have potential as a first-line national insurance -approved regimen.

Abstract
Both Leydig cell tumor (LCT), which is a sex cord-stromal tumor, and spermatocytic tumor (ST), which is a germ cell tumor, are rare testicular tumors. Synchronous LCT and ST in the unilateral testis are extremely rare because of their different origins. Herein, we report the case of an 84-year-old male patient with right scrotal swelling due to a testicular tumor. His age was out of the onset peak age of LCT but within ST. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case with synchronous LCT and ST in the unilateral testis.

Abstract
α-Fetoprotein (AFP)-producing gastric carcinoma (GC) (AFPGC) is a special subtype of GC that is clinically characterized by a high incidence of liver metastasis and poor prognosis. The present study reported the case of a patient with AFPGC who showed complete response (CR) after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for liver metastasis. A 76-year-old male patient underwent total gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection for GC. The excised tumor was diagnosed as AFPGC due to the patient's high serum AFP level (3,763 ng/ml) and AFP expression on immunohistochemistry. The patient was diagnosed with liver metastasis two months after the surgery. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography indicated that the metastasis was a single recurrent focus. Although the patient underwent seven cycles of chemotherapy with S-1-based regimens, the metastatic tumor showed only a minor response despite the decrease in serum AFP levels. To realize high-quality disease control, SBRT was performed on the liver tumor (total dose of 48 Gy in four fractions). The metastasis showed a significant response two weeks after the completion of SBRT and CR two years later. CR was sustained and the patient survived with no evidence of recurrence 62 months after the diagnosis of liver metastasis. Literature data on the efficacy of radiotherapy for liver metastasis from AFPGC remain scarce. The present case report suggests that SBRT has high efficacy for oligometastatic diseases and may be included as an indication for the treatment of liver metastasis from AFPGC.

Abstract
This study measured IgG antibody titers against spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) proteins of SARS-CoV-2 before vaccination and after the second and third doses of an mRNA vaccine in staff and residents of a nursing home in Niigata, Japan. The study included 52 staff members, of whom six (11.5%) were previously infected with SARS-CoV-2, and 32 older residents, of whom 22 (68.8%) were previously infected. All participants received the first two doses in April-July 2021 and a third dose in January-March 2022. In staff, the median anti-S antibody titers (interquartile range) in previously infected and SARS-CoV-2-naïve individuals before vaccination were 960 (592-1,926) and 0.5 (0.0-2.1) arbitrary units (AU)/mL. Anti-S antibody titers 5 months after the second and third doses in previously infected staff were 7,391 (5,230-7,747) and 10,195 (5,582-13,886) AU. In residents, the median anti-S antibody titers in previously infected and naïve individuals before vaccination were 734 (425-1,934) and 1.1 (0.0-3.1) AU/mL. Anti-S antibody titers at 5 months after the second and third doses in previously infected residents were 15,872 (9,683-21,557) and 13,813 (6,689-20,839) AU/mL; however, there were no significant differences in titers between the second and third doses in previously infected residents. Anti-N antibody titers were higher in previously infected than naïve individuals, and titers decreased chronologically.

Abstract
Bladder cancer commonly metastasizes to the lymph nodes. Rectal obstruction (RO) caused by bladder cancer has been reported rarely, and its underlying mechanism remains unclear. Herein, we present an autopsy case of a 67-year-old man with RO caused by urothelial carcinoma (UC) with a micropapillary variant in the bladder. The autopsy showed high-grade UC infiltrating the rectum via the bladder's lateral pedicle, and widely spreading within the retroperitoneum due to lymphatic dissemination. Given that RO caused by bladder cancer is typically diagnosed after it has become a systemic disease, it is crucial to consider systemic treatment for the patient.

Abstract
The dosimetry for the triage of personnel encountering a criticality accident was investigated. The JCO criticality accident of 1999 was selected as a case study, and attention was paid to the identification and the segregation of severely exposed personnel. A series of Monte Carlo calculations revealed that simplified equations proposed by ANSI to estimate dose with respect to distance work well to determine the region of interest for triage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survival is a key metric of the effectiveness of a health system in managing cancer. We set out to provide a comprehensive examination of worldwide variation and trends in survival from brain tumors in adults, by histology. METHODS We analyzed individual data for adults (15-99 years) diagnosed with a brain tumor (ICD-O-3 topography code C71) during 2000-2014, regardless of tumor behavior. Data underwent a 3-phase quality control as part of CONCORD-3. We estimated net survival for 11 histology groups, using the unbiased nonparametric Pohar Perme estimator. RESULTS The study included 556,237 adults. In 2010-2014, the global range in age-standardized 5-year net survival for the most common sub-types was broad: in the range 20%-38% for diffuse and anaplastic astrocytoma, from 4% to 17% for glioblastoma, and between 32% and 69% for oligodendroglioma. For patients with glioblastoma, the largest gains in survival occurred between 2000-2004 and 2005-2009. These improvements were more noticeable among adults diagnosed aged 40-70 years than among younger adults. CONCLUSIONS To the best of our knowledge, this study provides the largest account to date of global trends in population-based survival for brain tumors by histology in adults. We have highlighted remarkable gains in 5-year survival from glioblastoma since 2005, providing large-scale empirical evidence on the uptake of chemoradiation at population level. Worldwide, survival improvements have been extensive, but some countries still lag behind. Our findings may help clinicians involved in national and international tumor pathway boards to promote initiatives aimed at more extensive implementation of clinical guidelines.

Abstract
AIM In Cambodia, civil unrest has led to insufficient and inaccessible dental health services. Oral health education and awareness are lacking, thus childhood dental caries is highly prevalent. This study aimed to examine the effects of an oral health education programme for public primary school teachers on the pupils' oral health. METHODS Between 2011 and 2015, an oral health education workshop was presented annually to primary school educators employed at a public school in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Oral screenings of 2,637 pupils (grades 1-6; subdivided between the lower 1-3 and upper 4-6 grades) were undertaken and the prevalence of dental caries, mean number of DFT, and mean percentage of DFT rate were calculated. CONCLUSION Despite the persistently high prevalence of dental caries, the oral health status of the schoolchildren improved every year. Participation in the workshops may have improved the teachers' ability to provide oral healthcare instructions, leading to the reduced dental caries prevalence among pupils.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Arteries receive vascular branches (VBs) from peripheral nerves. VBs are thought to be involved in arterial constriction. Although the anterior tibial artery (ATA) receives VBs, information on their branching patterns and distribution areas remains limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the anatomical structures of the VBs reaching the ATA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty cadaver limbs were examined to assess the branching patterns and distribution areas of the VBs reaching the ATA. RESULTS The VBs reaching the ATA ramified from the deep fibular nerve (DFN), and the ATA received two or three VBs in each limb. The following mean distances from the head of fibula to the points at which the VBs reached the ATA were measured: all the VBs, 1st VB, 2nd VB and 3rd VB. The measurements were 51.5 ± 23.2 mm, 33.3 ± 3.7 mm, 53.3 ± 18.6 mm, and 72.2 ± 24.5 mm, respectively. In all limbs, the DFN and the ATA converged after the DFN branched into the 1st VB. The 2nd VB in 38 of 40 limbs and the 3rd VB in 20 of 32 limbs were distributed in the ATA proximal to the convergence point of the ATA and the DFN. CONCLUSIONS These findings revealed that all VBs reaching the ATA ramified from the DFN in all limbs. The ATA received two or three VBs, and all the 1st VBs distributed to the ATA proximal to the convergence point. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4α (HNF4α) presents in multiple isoforms generated using alternative promoter (P1 and P2) and splicing. Neither conservation of tissue distribution of HNF4α isoforms, nor presence of alternative promoter usage is known. In this study, to detect the expression of HNF4α in some species of animals, we have applied monoclonal antibodies against P1 (K9218) and P2 (H6939) promoter-driven and P1/P2 promoter-driven H1415 HNF4α for immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis. Antibody K9218 was observed in the hepatocytes, proximal tubules of the kidney, and epithelial cells in the mucosa of the small intestine and colon of rats, chicken, and tortoise, whereas antibody H6939 signal were detected in the stomach, pancreas, bile duct, and pancreatic duct of human and rats. The signal for antibody K9218 was recognized in tissues of a wide range of mammals, bird, reptile, amphibian, and fish as well. Antibody H1415 displayed a positive reaction in hepatocytes and intestinal epithelial cells in chicken and tortoise, whereas the bile duct, mucosal epithelial cells in the stomach, or pancreas in these animals were negative. Western blotting showed the binding of the antibody with HNF4α protein from each animal. The sequence of human HNF4α was 100% identical to murine and rat HNF4α, 88.9% to chicken, 77.8% to Xenopus HNF4α, and 81.5% to medaka. However, the specific part of human and invertebrate Drosophila HNF4 shares only 14.8% sequence identity. This antibody is useful for detecting HNF4α isoforms in a wide range of vertebrates, and suggests many insights into animal evolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of an elongated styloid process (SP) and average length and diameter of SP have not been reported using Japanese cadavers. Data on the female-to-male ratio of an elongated SP vary. We calculated the average length and diameter of SP in Japanese cadavers and compared SP lengths between sexes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-seven sides (right and left of bodies) in males and 51 sides in females were analyzed. Measurements were obtained from the inferior external acoustic meatus to the distal tip of the SP. SP diameters at the proximal base, midpoint, and distal tip were measured. SP >30 mm was considered elongated. We used Welch's t-test for the statistical analysis. Fisher's exact two-tailed test was also performed to analyze the female-to-male elongation ratio. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS SP elongation prevalence was 29.5% in our sample. The average full length was 27.04±7.88 mm overall; the average diameters were 5.41±1.77 mm at the proximal base and 2.21±1.22 mm at the distal tip. The average SP measurement was 26.81±5.92 mm in males and 27.16±8.79 mm in females (p=0.74). The female-to-male ratio of SP elongation was 1:2 (p=0.041). Females had longer full lengths of non-elongated SPs than males (p=0.004). Males had wider diameters at the proximal base of elongated SPs than females (p=0.017). CONCLUSIONS The average length of SP was 27.04 mm in the Japanese population and about 30% of the Japanese presented SP≥30 mm. Male had significantly higher rate than female among the SP≥30 mm, and female had significantly longer SPs than male among the SP<30 mm. Anatomically, the SP gets narrow as distally goes. Our anatomical findings would be beneficial to creating treatment plans, diagnosis, and surgery.

Abstract
Abstract
Background; Aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the important critical diseases and may influence hemodynamics in cardiovascular or non-cardiovascular emergency, however, there is no established methodology to diagnose AS in a focused cardiac ultrasound (FOCUS). We have previously reported that our developed visual AS score was a simple index for AS screening using rapid echocardiography and it could successfully diagnose clinically significant AS. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of visual AS score assessed by emergency physicians in the emergency department. Methods; Visual AS score was calculated as the sum of the scores of each three aortic cusp’s opening in a short-axis view scored as follows: 0 = not restricted, 1 = restricted, or 2 = severely restricted; and classified in 0 – 6 as we previously reported. Emergency physicians who did not specialize in cardiology or ultrasonography underwent basic 30 minutes training to visualize aortic valve in a short-axis view and to assess visual AS score beforehand. They performed echocardiography and evaluated visual AS score in emergency outpatients with suspected cardiovascular diseases such as chest symptom, consciousness disorder, abnormal vital signs, heart murmur or abnormal electrocardiogram in the emergency department. Then, another assessment of visual AS score and complete echocardiography including quantitative assessment of AS was performed by expert sonographers. Aortic valve area index (AVAI) was calculated using continuity equation and body surface area, and an AVAI > 0.85 cm/m2, 0.6 - 0.85 cm/m2, and < 0.6 cm/m2 were defined as none or mild, moderate and severe AS, respectively. Results: Sixty patients underwent evaluations of visual AS score by emergency physicians. Visual AS score could not be assessed in 5 patients and continuity equation could not be evaluated in 2 patients, both due to poor echocardiographic imaging quality. Visual AS scores assessed by emergency physicians and expert sonographers showed strong positive correlation (R = 0.94, P < 0.0001). Fourteen patients (26 %) including 6 with shock or hypotension, 3 with congestive heart failure, 2 with syncope, 1 with acute myocardial infarction, 1 with suspected cardiac tamponade and 1 with abnormal electrocardiogram had moderate or more degree of AS in complete echocardiography performed by expert sonographers. Visual AS score 3 or more assessed by emergency physicians had 86 %, 100 %, 100 % and 95 % of a diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value, respectively. Conclusion: Visual AS score in FOCUS is useful to screen for AS for emergency physicians who do not specialize in cardiology.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is associated with increased risks of mortality and hospitalization for heart failure (HF). Although prior studies reported that catheter ablation (CA) for AF in low LVEF patients reduced risks of all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization, the predictors of worsening HF after ablation has not been adequately evaluated.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of improvement in LVEF after AF ablation on the incidence of subsequent HF hospitalization in patients with low LVEF.
Methods
The Kansai Plus Atrial Fibrillation (KPAF) Registry is a multicenter registry enrolling 5,013 consecutive patients undergoing first-time ablation for AF. The current study population consisted of 1,031 patients with reduced LVEF of <60%. We divided the study population into 3 groups according to LVEF at follow-up; 678 patients (65.8%) with improved LVEF (≥5 U change in LVEF), 288 patients (27.9%) with unchanged LVEF (−5 U ≤ change in LVEF <5 U) and 65 patients (6.3%) with worsened LVEF (<−5 U change in LVEF).
Results
During the median follow-up of 1067 [879–1226] days, patients improved LVEF had lower rate of HF hospitalization, compared with those with unchanged and worsened LVEF (2.1%, 8.0%, and 21.5%, respectively, P<0.0001). Recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmias were documented in 43.5%, 47.2% and 67.7%, respectively (P=0.0008).

Conclusion
Among patients with reduced LVEF undergoing AF ablation, patients with subsequently improved LVEF in association with maintained sinus rhythm had markedly lower risk of HF hospitalization during follow-up as compared with those with unchanged or worsened LVEF.

Abstract
Previous reports have suggested that mucosal barrier failure allows lanthanum to stray into the lamina propria, and macrophages play an important role for the clearance. However, there is no report to analyze the polarity of phagocytizing macrophages. We suggested that M2 macrophage potentially played a major role in the clearance of lanthanum.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Oral mucositis is a clinically significant complication of mucotoxic cancer therapy. The incidence of oral mucositis (any grade) as an adverse drug reaction of everolimus is 58%, while an analysis of Asian people has reported its occurrence as 81%.This study hypothesizes that the occurrence of oral mucositis will reduce with professional oral care (POC) administered prior to everolimus treatment.
Method:
This was a randomized, multi-center, open-label, phase III study, to evaluate the efficacy of POC in preventing mucositis induced by everolimus in postmenopausal, estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, metastatic breast cancer patients. Patients were randomized into POC and control groups (1:1 ratio). All patients received everolimus with exemestane and continued the everolimus until disease progression. In the POC group, patients were subjected to teeth surface cleaning, scaling and tongue cleaning, before initiating everolimus, and continued to receive weekly POC from dentist or oral surgeons throughout the 8 weeks of treatment. In the control group, patients brushed their own teeth and gargled with 0.9% sodium chloride solution or water. The primary end-point was to measure the incidence of all grades of oral mucositis. Target accrual was 200 patients with a 2-sided type I error rate of 5% and 80% power to detect 25% risk reduction. This trial has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT 02069093.
Result:
Between May 26, 2014 and Dec 28, 2017, we enrolled 174 women from 31 institutions; 168 were evaluable for efficacy but 5 were excluded (had not received the protocol treatment [n=4]; no efficacy data [n=1]). In 8 weeks, the incidence of grade 1 oral mucositis was significantly different between the POC group (76.5%, 62 of 81 patients) and control group (89.7%, 78 of 87 patients) (p=0.035). The incidence of grade 2 (severe) oral mucositis was also significantly different between the POC group (34.6%, 28 of 81 patients) and control group (54%, 47 of 87 patients) (p= 0.015). As a result of oral mucositis, 18 (22.2%) patients in the POC group and 28 (32.2%) in the control group had to undergo everolimus dose reduction.
Conclusion:
POC reduced the incidence and severity of oral mucositis in patients receiving everolimus and exemestane. This could be a new standard in oral care for patients undergoing this treatment.

Abstract
Background There is a body of evidence to suggest that cigarette smoking increases the risk of cervical cancer in women, but no study has examined the magnitude of the association in Japanese women. Here, we evaluated the association between cigarette smoking and the risk of cervical cancer in Japanese women based on a systematic review of epidemiological evidence. Methods Original data were obtained from a MEDLINE search using PubMed or from a search of the 'Ichushi' database, as well as by a manual search. Evaluation of associations was based on the strength of evidence and the magnitude of association, together with biological plausibility as evaluated previously by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. Meta-analysis of associations was also conducted to obtain a summarized overview of the data. Results We identified two cohort studies and three case-control studies. All five studies had indicated strong positive associations between cigarette smoking and the risk of cervical cancer. Our summary estimate indicated that the relative risk (RR) for individuals who had ever-smoked relative to never-smokers was 2.03 (95% confidence interval: 1.49-2.57). Four studies had also demonstrated dose-response relationships between cigarette smoking and the risk of cervical cancer. Conclusion We conclude that there is convincing evidence that cigarette smoking increases the risk of cervical cancer among Japanese women.

Abstract
We investigated the circulation patterns of human influenza A and B viruses in Myanmar between 2010 and 2015 by analyzing full HA genes. Upper respiratory tract specimens were collected from patients with symptoms of influenza-like illness. A total of 2,860 respiratory samples were screened by influenza rapid diagnostic test, of which 1,577 (55.1%) and 810 (28.3%) were positive for influenza A and B, respectively. Of the 1,010 specimens that were positive for virus isolation, 370 (36.6%) were A(H1N1)pdm09, 327 (32.4%) were A(H3N2), 130 (12.9%) B(Victoria), and 183 (18.1%) were B(Yamagata) viruses. Our data showed that influenza epidemics mainly occurred during the rainy season in Myanmar. Our three study sites, Yangon, Pyinmana, and Pyin Oo Lwin had similar seasonality and circulating type and subtype of influenza in a given year. Moreover, viruses circulating in Myanmar during the study period were closely related genetically to those detected in Thailand, India, and China. Phylogeographic analysis showed that A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses in Myanmar originated from Europe and migrated to other countries via Japan. Similarly, A(H3N2) viruses in Myanmar originated from Europe, and disseminated to the various countries via Australia. In addition, Myanmar plays a key role in reseeding of influenza B viruses to Southeast Asia and East Asia as well as Europe and Africa. Thus, we concluded that influenza virus in Myanmar has a strong link to neighboring Asian countries, Europe and Oceania.

Abstract
Slit and its receptor Roundabout (Robo) are important for neuronal development and neo-angiogenesis in various neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. Angiogenesis is a key factor for tumor growth and other angiogenesis-dependent diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic inflammation Recently, over-expression of Slit/Robo1 family proteins has been reported in several types of malignancy. We explored the expression of Robo1 in neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases with a focus on newly formed blood vessels. Three hundred and thirty four cases of malignancy and forty five cases of angiogenic diseases were recruited. Using the A7241A Robo1 monoclonal antibody, Robo1 expression was validated by immunohistochemistry. Among malignant cases, endothelial cells of newly formed blood vessels in 283 tumors (84.7%) exhibited positive staining with above antibody. In non-neoplastic diseases, newly formed blood vessels were positive in 70.6% (12/17) cases of chronic inflammation, 100% (18/18) cases of pyogenic granuloma and 83.3% (5/6) cases of rheumatoid arthritis. Recently, newly anti-angiogenesis therapy is drawing attention as effective therapy for angiogenesis-dependent diseases without regard to their neoplastic or non-neoplastic nature. Our results showed a large number of neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases showed positive staining for ROBO1 by immunohistochemistry. Thus, Robo1 targeted therapy may create new strategies for the treatment of angiogenic-dependent diseases through the suppression of angiogenesis. Further, besides the majority of liver cell carcinomas (23/28, 82.1%), Robo1 was positive in 100% of the squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus, uterine cervix, lung and skin. Thus, immunohistochemical evaluation of Robo1 may be useful as an additional diagnostic tool for liver cell carcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas.

Abstract
A comprehensive evidence-based cancer prevention recommendation for Japanese was developed. We evaluated the magnitude of the associations of lifestyle factors and infection with cancer through a systematic review of the literature, meta-analysis of published data, and pooled analysis of cohort studies in Japan. Then, we judged the strength of evidence based on the consistency of the associations between exposure and cancer and biological plausibility. Important factors were extracted and summarized as an evidence-based, current cancer prevention recommendation: 'Cancer Prevention Recommendation for Japanese'. The recommendation addresses six important domains related to exposure and cancer, including smoking, alcohol drinking, diet, physical activity, body weight and infection. The next step should focus on the development of effective behavior modification programs and their implementation and dissemination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The eradication rate of vonoprazan-based first-line triple therapy (combined with clarithromycin and amoxicillin) (V-AC) was reported to be 97.6% in patients with clarithromycin (CAM)-susceptible Helicobacter pylori in a phase III study, whereas our real-world, prospective, multicenter cohort study yielded an eradication rate <90%. OBJECTIVE To validate the eradication rate of V-AC using CAM-susceptible testing in a multicenter, prospective, randomized trial. METHODS We included 147 treatment-naïve H. pylori-positive patients [41 with CAM-resistant infections and 106 with CAM-susceptible infections]. The CAM-susceptible group patients were randomized to either the V-AC group (vonoprazan 20 mg bid, amoxicillin 750 mg bid, and clarithromycin 200 or 400 mg bid) or PPI-AC group (lansoprazole 30 mg, rabeprazole 10 mg, or esomeprazole 20 mg bid; amoxicillin 750 mg bid; and clarithromycin 200 or 400 mg bid). All CAM-resistant H. pylori were eradicated by V-AC, as measured by the urea breath test around 8 weeks after eradication. Safety was evaluated by patient questionnaires. RESULTS The intention-to-treat and per-protocol eradication rates of V-AC in the CAM-susceptible H. pylori-infected patients were 87.3% (95% confidence interval 75.5%-94.7%) and 88.9% (77.4%-95.8%). The respective eradication rates of PPI-AC were 76.5% (62.5%-87.2%) and 86.7% (73.2%-94.9%). No significant difference was observed between the V-AC and PPI-AC regimes in terms of the intention-to-treat (P = .21) or per-protocol (P = .77) analyses. The questionnaire scores did not differ significantly between the groups. Both the intention-to-treat and per-protocol eradication rates of V-AC in the CAM-resistant patients were 82.9% (67.9%-92.8%). CONCLUSION The eradication rate of V-AC treatment in the CAM-susceptible H. pylori-infected patients was <90%, as was that by PPI-AC, thus V-AC is not ideal regimen in CAM-susceptible H. pylori. However, the 82.9% eradication rate of V-AC in the CAM-resistant infections may indicate the potential of V-AC with modified dose, dosing interval, and treatment duration. (UMIN000016337).

Abstract
Background Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PCI) is a rare disease characterized by multiple gas-filled cysts in the intestinal wall and is associated with various comorbidities. We report herein a case of intractable paralytic ileus caused by primary PCI. Case presentation A 73-year-old man visited out hospital complaining of abdominal pain and vomiting. He had been hospitalized twice for intestinal obstruction in the past 2 months. Based on his history of appendectomy, mechanical bowel obstruction caused by adhesion was diagnosed, and the patient underwent surgery. However, laparotomy revealed small bowel dilatation despite the absence of obstruction or stenosis. Multiple nodules were found in the wall of the dilated bowel loops. The dilated jejunum was excised. Histological examination revealed that the nodules were small gas-filled cysts, suggesting PCI. We made a diagnosis of ileus with underlying PCI and managed the patient conservatively. A large amount of nasogastric tube drainage continued for a long period postoperatively. The patient underwent relaparotomy 35 days after the first operation. The upper jejunum was markedly dilated, although no mechanical stenosis was found. The atonic, dilated jejunum was excised and the ileal stump was anastomosed to the duodenum in a double tract fashion. The patient underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy because the ileus persisted postoperatively. His condition gradually improved and he was discharged 53 days after the second operation. Conclusions Non-operative treatment is recommended for primary PCI of unknown etiology. Surgeons should be mindful of the possibility of primary PCI when considering surgical intervention for patients with bowel obstruction.

Abstract
Self-renewal, replication, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are regulated by cytokines produced by niche cells in fetal liver and bone marrow. HSCs must overcome stresses induced by cytokine deprivation during normal development. In this study, we found that ubiquitin-specific peptidase 10 (USP10) is a crucial deubiquitinase for mouse hematopoiesis. All USP10 knockout (KO) mice died within 1 year because of bone marrow failure with pancytopenia. Bone marrow failure in these USP10-KO mice was associated with remarkable reductions of long-term HSCs (LT-HSCs) in bone marrow and fetal liver. Such USP10-KO fetal liver exhibited enhanced apoptosis of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) including LT-HSCs but not of lineage-committed progenitor cells. Transplantation of USP10-competent bone marrow cells into USP10-KO mice reconstituted multilineage hematopoiesis. These results suggest that USP10 is an essential deubiquitinase in hematopoiesis and functions by inhibiting apoptosis of HSPCs including LT-HSCs. Systemic USP10-knockout mice develop bone marrow failure because of HSC depletion USP10 inhibits apoptosis of long-term HSCs in fetal liver USP10 inhibits cytokine deprivation-induced apoptosis of fetal liver HSPCs in vitro

Abstract
Cutaneous nerves have branches called vascular branches (VBs) that reach arteries. VBs are thought to be involved in arterial constriction, and this is the rationale for periarterial sympathectomy as a treatment option for Raynaud's disease. However, the branching patterns and distribution areas of the VBs remain largely unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anatomical structures of the VBs of the cutaneous nerves. Forty hands and forearms were examined to assess the branching patterns and distribution areas of the VBs of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (SBRN), the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve (LACN), the medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve (MACN), and the palmar cutaneous branch of the ulnar nerve (PCUN). VBs reaching the radial and ulnar arteries were observed in all specimens. The branching patterns were classified into six types. The mean distance between the radial styloid process and the point where the VBs reached the radial artery was 34.3 ± 4.8 mm in the SBRN and 38.5 ± 15.8 mm in the LACN. The mean distance between the ulnar styloid process and the point where the VBs reached the ulnar artery was 60.3 ± 25.9 mm in the MACN and 43.8 ± 26.0 mm in the PCUN. This study showed that the VBs of the cutaneous nerves have diverse branching patterns. The VBs of the SBRN had a more limited distribution areas than those of the other nerves. Clin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) for advanced rectal cancer (RC) is a well-evidenced therapy; however, some RC patients have no therapeutic response. Patient selection for NCRT so that non-responsive patients are excluded has been subjective. To date, no molecular markers indicating radiation sensitivity have been reported. METHODS We irradiated six colorectal cancer (CRC) cell lines and identified HCT116 cells as radiation-sensitive and HCT15 and DLD-1 cells as radiation resistant. Using a microarray, we selected candidate radiation sensitivity marker genes by choosing genes whose expression was consistent with a radiation-resistant or sensitive cell phenotype. RESULTS Among candidate genes, cellular retinol binding protein 1 (CRBP1) was of particular interest because it was not only induced in HCT116 cells by tentative 10 Gy radiation treatments, but also its expression was increased in HCT116-derived radiation-resistant cells vs parental cells. Forced expression of CRBP1 decreased the viability of both HCT15 and DLD-1 cells in response to radiation therapy. We also confirmed that CRBP1 was epigenetically silenced by hypermethylation of its promoter DNA, and that the quantitative methylation value of CRBP1 significantly correlated with histological response in RC patients with NCRT (P=0.031). CONCLUSIONS Our study identified CRBP1 as a radiation-sensitive predictor in RC.

Abstract
Objective We evaluated the safety and efficacy of vonoprazan-based amoxicillin and clarithromycin 7-day triple therapy (VAC) in comparison to proton pump inhibitor (PPI)-based (PAC) as a first-line treatment and vonoprazan-based amoxicillin and metronidazole 7-day triple therapy (VAM) in comparison to PPI-based (PAM) as a second-line treatment for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori in Japan. Methods We performed a non-randomized, multi-center, parallel-group study to compare first-line VAC to PAC and second-line VAM to PAM. A pre-planned subgroup analysis on CAM resistance was also performed. Safety was evaluated with an adverse effects questionnaire (AEQ), which was completed by patients during therapy. Results The first-line eradication rates (ER) in the intention-to-treat (ITT) and per protocol (PP) analyses were 84.9% (95% CI: 81.9-87.6%, n=623) and 86.4% (83.5-89.1%, n=612), respectively, for VAC and 78.8% (75.3-82.0%, n=608) and 79.4% (76.0-82.6%, n=603), respectively, for PAC. The ER of VAC was higher than that of PAC in the ITT (p=0.0061) and PP analyses (p=0.0013). The ERs for VAC in patients with CAM-resistant and CAM-susceptible bacteria were 73.2% (59.7-84.2%, n=56) and 88.9% (83.4-93.1%, n=180), respectively. PAC was associated with higher AEQ scores for diarrhea, nausea, headache, and general malaise. In the second-line ITT and PP analyses VAM achieved ERs of 80.5% (74.6-85.6%, n=216) and 82.4% (76.6-87.3%, n=211), respectively, while PAM achieved ERs of 81.5% (74.2-87.4%, n=146) and 82.1% (74.8-87.9%, n=145), respectively. No significant differences were observed in the ITT (p=0.89) or PP (p=1.0) analyses. Conclusion The ER of first-line VAC was higher than that of PAC, but still <90%. No difference was observed between second-line VAM and PAM. Vonoprazan-based triple therapy was safe and well tolerated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify the histopathological alterations of microglia in the brains of patients with hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids (HDLS) caused by mutations of the gene encoding the colony stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R). METHODS We examined 5 autopsied brains and 1 biopsy specimen from a total of 6 patients with CSF-1R mutations. Detailed immunohistochemical, biochemical, and ultrastructural features of microglia were examined, and quantitative analyses were performed. RESULTS In layers 3 to 4 of the frontal cortex in HDLS brains, microglia showed relatively uniform and delicate morphology, with thin and winding processes accompanying knotlike structures, and significantly smaller areas of Iba1 immunoreactivity and lower numbers of Iba1-positive cells were evident in comparison with control brains. On the other hand, in layers 5 to 6 and the underlying white matter, microglia were distributed unevenly; that is, in some areas they had accumulated densely, whereas in others they were scattered. Immunoblot analyses of microglia-associated proteins, including CD11b and DAP12, revealed that HDLS brains had significantly lower amounts of these proteins than diseased controls, although Ki-67-positive proliferative microglia were not reduced. Ultrastructurally, the microglial cytoplasm and processes in HDLS showed vesiculation of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and disaggregated polyribosomes, indicating depression of protein synthesis. On the other hand, macrophages were immunonegative for GLUT-5 or P2ry12, indicating that they were derived from bone marrow. INTERPRETATION The pathogenesis of HDLS seems to be associated with microglial vulnerability and morphological alterations. Ann Neurol 2016;80:554-565.

Abstract
AIMS Acetabular dysplasia is frequently associated with intra-articular pathology such as labral tears, but whether labral tears should be treated at the time of periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes and radiographic corrections of PAO for acetabular dysplasia between patients with and without labral tears pre-operatively. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 70 hips in 67 patients with acetabular dysplasia who underwent PAO. Of 47 hips (45 patients) with labral tears pre-operatively, 27 (25 patients) underwent PAO alone, and were classified as the labral tear alone (LT) group, and 20 (20 patients) underwent combined PAO and osteochondroplasty, and were classified as the labral tear osteochondroplasty (LTO) group. The non-labral tear (NLT) group included 23 hips in 22 patients. RESULTS There were no significant differences between groups for post-operative Harris hip scores, degree of progression of osteoarthritis or rate of reoperation. The pre-operative alpha angle was significantly larger in the LTO group compared with the other groups (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION PAO provides equivalent short-term relief of pain and functional outcome in patients with or without labral tears. The rate of progression of osteoarthritis and reoperation was not significantly increased in patients with labral tears. TAKE HOME MESSAGE PAO provides equivalent short-term pain relief and functional outcomes in patients with acetabular dysplasia with and without labral tears. We did not find significantly increased risks of progression of osteoarthritis or re-operation in those with labral tears. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:741-6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchial asthma is characterised by airway inflammation and remodelling with a decline of lung function. Fibrocytes are bone marrow-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells that play important roles in the pathogenesis of airway remodelling. Several clinical parameters are currently being used in routine clinical practice to assess outcome of therapy in asthma including frequency of rescue with short-acting β2-agonist and the asthma control test. In this study, we hypothesised that asthma control test is associated with circulating levels of fibrocytes in bronchial asthma. METHODS There were 20 patients with asthma and seven healthy controls. The number of CD45(+)Collagen I(+) circulating fibrocytes was assessed in the peripheral blood by flow cytometry. RESULTS The number of circulating fibrocytes was significantly increased in asthma patients with moderate and severe disease compared to controls, and it was inversely correlated with % forced expiratory volume in one second and % forced vital capacity (%FVC). The frequency of inhalation of short-acting β2 agonist and the asthma control test score was significantly and inversely correlated with the number of circulating fibrocytes. CONCLUSION The results of this study showed that the number of circulating fibrocytes is inversely correlated with clinical asthma control parameters, further supporting the relevance of measuring circulating fibrocytes as a marker of clinical control in bronchial asthma.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
In patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive advanced breast cancer, everolimus plus exemestane prolongs progression-free survival compared to exemestane monotherapy. However, as an adverse event from everolimus, oral mucositis (all grades) has been reported in 58% of all patients and 81% of Asian patients. Although no established prevention method is available, a previous study reported that professional oral care might prevent oral mucositis, and dentists have hypothesized that such care can reduce the occurrence of oral mucositis induced by everolimus. To evaluate this hypothesis, we compare the incidence of oral mucositis with and without professional oral care.
Method:
This is a randomized, multi-center, open-label, phase III study to evaluate the efficacy of professional oral care in preventing oral mucositis induced by everolimus in postmenopausal ER-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Patients will be randomized into professional oral care and control groups (1:1 ratio). All patients will receive everolimus (10 mg daily) with exemestane (25 mg daily) and will continue everolimus until disease progression. Before the initiation of everolimus, instruction on a professional brushing method will be provided to both groups by specialists. In the professional oral care group, patients will receive teeth surface cleaning, scaling, and tongue cleaning before starting everolimus, and will continue to receive professional oral care weekly from oral surgeons throughout the 8 week treatment. In the control group, patients will brush their own teeth and gargle with 0.9% sodium chloride solution or water. The primary endpoint is the incidence of all grades of oral mucositis. The secondary endpoints are the incidence of over grade 2 and over 3 oral mucositis as determined by an oncologist and oral surgeons. The endpoints include onset and duration of oral mucositis. Major eligibility criteria include: 1) Postmenopausal women with ER positive MBC, and 2) No more than one prior chemotherapy treatment for MBC. Target accrual is 200 patients with a two-sided type I error rate of 5% and 80% power to detect 25% risk reduction. This study has just begun, and 5 of a planned 200 patients have been enrolled. (This study was registered with the UMIN 000016109).

Abstract
Ras GTPase-activating proteins negatively regulate the Ras/Erk signaling pathway, thereby playing crucial roles in the proliferation, function, and development of various types of cells. In this study, we identified a novel Ras GTPase-activating proteins protein, RASAL3, which is predominantly expressed in cells of hematopoietic lineages, including NKT, B, and T cells. We established systemic RASAL3-deficient mice, and the mice exhibited a severe decrease in NKT cells in the liver at 8 weeks of age. The treatment of RASAL3-deficient mice with α-GalCer, a specific agonist for NKT cells, induced liver damage, but the level was less severe than that in RASAL3-competent mice, and the attenuated liver damage was accompanied by a reduced production of interleukin-4 and interferon-γ from NKT cells. RASAL3-deficient NKT cells treated with α-GalCer in vitro presented augmented Erk phosphorylation, suggesting that there is dysregulated Ras signaling in the NKT cells of RASAL3-deficient mice. Taken together, these results suggest that RASAL3 plays an important role in the expansion and functions of NKT cells in the liver by negatively regulating Ras/Erk signaling, and might be a therapeutic target for NKT-associated diseases.

Abstract
Superconducting Pr(2)CuO(x), x ≃ 4 films with T' structure and a T(c) of 27 K have been investigated by millimeter-wave transmission and broadband (infrared-to-ultraviolet) reflectivity measurements in the normal and superconducting state. The results obtained by both experimental methods show a consistent picture of the superconducting condensate formation below T(c). An Eliashberg analysis of the data proves d-wave superconductivity and unitary-limit impurity scattering of the charge carriers below T(c). The derived electron-exchange boson interaction spectral function I(2)χ(ω) shows only marginal changes at the superconducting transition with the mass enhancement factor λ, the first inverse moment of I(2)χ(ω), being equal to 4.16 at 30 K and to 4.25 at 4 K.

Abstract
Pentraxins belong to the superfamily of conserved proteins that are characterized by a cyclic multimeric structure. Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is a long pentraxin which can be produced by different cell types upon exposure to various inflammatory signals. Inside the neutrophil PTX3 is stored in form of granules localized in the cytoplasm. Neutrophilic granules are divided into three types: azurophilic (primary) granules, specific (secondary) granules and gelatinase (tertiary) granules. PTX3 has been considered to be localized in specific (secondary) granules. Immunofluorescent analyses using confocal laser microscopic examination were performed to clarify the localization of all three groups of granules within the cytoplasm of the mature neutrophils and neutrophils stimulated with IL-8. Furthermore, PTX3 was localized in primary granules of promyelocyte cell line HL-60. As a result, we suggest that PTX3 is localized not only in specific granules, but is also partly expressed in primary and tertiary granules. After the stimulation with IL-8, irregular reticular structures called neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) were formed, three types of granules were trapped by NETs and PTX3 showed partial colocalization with these granular components. PTX3 localized in all three types of granules in neutrophils may play important roles in host defense.
