Abstract
The complement component C5a contributes to the recruitment of immune cells to inflamed tissues and local inflammation. The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-1β is also related to inflammatory disorders through inflammasome activation. However, the association between inflammasome activation and C5a is unclear. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were stimulated with C5a and measured for IL-1β secretion by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The pro-IL-1β expression in cell lysates was also examined by Western blot analysis. Similarly, magnetic bead-isolated CD14+ monocyte-depleted and lymphocyte-depleted PBMCs were stimulated with C5a, and immunoblot analysis was performed using an anti-cleaved-IL-1β (p17) antibody. FACS was performed to detect caspase-1-activated cells. C5a-stimulated PBMCs produced IL-1β in C5a concentration-dependent manner. The protein levels of pro-IL-1β in the cell lysates were significantly increased. Furthermore, the cleaved-IL-1β (p17) was faintly detected in the same lysates. Active caspase-1 was demonstrated in C5a-simulated CD14+ monocytes by FACS. Cleaved-IL-1β (p17) was demonstrated in the supernatant of C5a-stimulated PBMCs. Lymphocyte-depleted PBMCs stimulated with C5a but monocyte-depleted PBMCs produced cleaved-IL-1β (p17). C5a induced the production of mature IL-1β in PBMCs. The IL-1β production is mediated mainly by caspase-1 activation in CD14+ monocytes. These results suggest that C5a alone potentiates mature IL-1β production mainly in monocytes.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to compare the incidence rates (IRs) of infections, including herpes zoster (HZ), in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) or interleukin-6 inhibitors (IL-6is). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 444 RA patients treated using IL-6is (n = 283) or JAKis (n = 161). After adjusting for clinical characteristic imbalances by propensity score matching (PSM), we compared the IRs of infections including HZ between the JAKi and IL-6i groups. Results: Observational period: 1423.93 patient years (PY); median observational period: 2.51 years. After PSM, incidence rate ratios comparing JAKi with IL-6i were 3.45 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.48-9.04) for serious infections other than HZ indicating that the JAKi-treated group was more likely to develop serious infection than the IL-6i-treated group. Multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that the use of prednisolone > 5.0 mg/day, coexisting interstitial lung disease (ILD), and diabetes mellitus (DM) were independent risk factors for serious infections. The crude IR for HZ was significantly higher in the JAKi group, but the difference between groups was not significant (IRR: 2.83, 95% CI: 0.87-10.96) in PSM analysis. Unadjusted and PSM analyses performed in our study showed increased IRs of serious infections in patients with RA treated with JAKis compared with those treated with IL-6is. Conclusions: The presence of ILD or DM and the use of prednisolone were found to be independent risk factors for serious infection in RA patients treated using JAKis. Whereas the IRs for HZ after PSM were not significantly different between the JAKi and IL-6i groups.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory viral disease, and several cases of autoimmune diseases have been reported after infection. This report presents the case of a 38-year-old Japanese woman who developed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) following COVID-19. Clinical manifestations included dermatological complications, joint pain, and positive autoantibodies. The patient met the SLE classification criteria, and renal involvement was observed. Her symptoms improved with immunosuppressive therapy. A literature review identified 10 similar cases, those with lymphopenia and renal involvement. SLE should be considered in patients with persistent nonspecific symptoms after COVID-19 infection, particularly when hematologic and renal involvement are present.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3) is broadly expressed in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is the target of patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd), an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of a HER3 antibody attached to a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload via a tetrapeptide-based cleavable linker. U31402-A-U102 is an ongoing phase I study of HER3-DXd in patients with advanced NSCLC. Patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated NSCLC that progressed after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) who received HER3-DXd 5.6 mg/kg intravenously once every 3 weeks had a confirmed objective response rate (cORR) of 39%. We present median overall survival (OS) with extended follow-up in a larger population of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC and an exploratory analysis in those with acquired genomic alterations potentially associated with resistance to HER3-DXd. PATIENTS AND METHODS Safety was assessed in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC previously treated with EGFR TKI who received HER3-DXd 5.6 mg/kg; efficacy was assessed in those who also had prior PBC. RESULTS In the safety population (N = 102), median treatment duration was 5.5 (range 0.7-27.5) months. Grade ≥3 adverse events occurred in 76.5% of patients; the overall safety profile was consistent with previous reports. In 78/102 patients who had prior third-generation EGFR TKI and PBC, cORR by blinded independent central review (as per RECIST v1.1) was 41.0% [95% confidence interval (CI) 30.0% to 52.7%], median progression-free survival was 6.4 (95% CI 4.4-10.8) months, and median OS was 16.2 (95% CI 11.2-21.9) months. Patients had diverse mechanisms of EGFR TKI resistance at baseline. At tumor progression, acquired mutations in ERBB3 and TOP1 that might confer resistance to HER3-DXd were identified. CONCLUSIONS In patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC after EGFR TKI and PBC, HER3-DXd treatment was associated with a clinically meaningful OS. The tumor biomarker characterization comprised the first description of potential mechanisms of resistance to HER3-DXd therapy.

Abstract
Background Autoinflammation with cytokine dysregulation may be implicated in the pathophysiology of adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD); however, the relationship between galectins and cytokines in patients with active AOSD remains unknown. We aimed to examine the relationship between circulating cytokines/chemokines and galectin-3 (Gal-3) or its ligand, Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi), in Japanese patients with AOSD. Methods We recruited 44 consecutive patients diagnosed with AOSD according to the Yamaguchi criteria, 50 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as disease controls, and 27 healthy participants. Serum M2BPGi levels were directly measured using a HISCL M2BPGi reagent kit and an automatic immunoanalyzer (HISCL-5000). Serum Gal-3 concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The serum levels of 69 cytokines were analyzed in patients with AOSD using a multi-suspension cytokine array. We performed a cluster analysis of each cytokine expressed in patients with AOSD to identify specific molecular networks. Results Significant increases in the serum concentrations of Gal-3 and M2BPGi were found in the serum of patients with AOSD compared with patients with RA and healthy participants (both p <0.001). There were significant positive correlations between serum Gal-3 levels and AOSD disease activity score (Pouchot score, r=0.66, p <0.001) and serum ferritin levels. However, no significant correlations were observed between serum M2BPGi levels and AOSD disease activity scores (Pouchot score, r = 0.32, p = 0.06) or serum ferritin levels. Furthermore, significant correlations were observed between the serum levels of Gal-3 and various inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-18, in patients with AOSD. Immunosuppressive treatment in patients with AOSD significantly reduced serum Gal-3 and M2BPGi levels (p = 0.03 and 0.004, respectively). Conclusions Although both Gal-3 and M2BPGi were elevated in patients with AOSD, only Gal-3 was a useful biomarker for predicting disease activity in AOSD. Our findings suggest that circulating Gal-3 reflects the inflammatory component of AOSD, which corresponds to proinflammatory cytokine induction through inflammasome activation cascades.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown conflicting evidence regarding the incidence of cancer in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) compared with that in healthy individuals. Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus have been widely used to treat SLE; however, their effects on cancer risk remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the incidence of cancer in patients with SLE and determine the potential association between CNI use and cancer risk. METHODS The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of cancer among patients with lupus in the Lupus Registry of Nationwide Institutions (LUNA) was calculated based on the age-standardized incidence rate of cancer reported by Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. We also examined the association between CNI exposure and cancer risk, while considering potential confounding factors. The analysis accounted for confounding variables such as age, sex, smoking history, maximum glucocorticoid dose, treatment history with cyclophosphamide, ongoing hydroxychloroquine, Systemic Lupus International Collaboration Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index (SDI) value (excluding cancer occurrence), comorbidity of diabetes mellitus, and smoking history. RESULTS The study included 704 patients with SLE (625 females; 88.8%) with a median age of 44 years [interquartile range (IQR) = 34-55] years. The median past maximum glucocorticoid dose was 40 mg/day [IQR = 30-60 mg/day], and the SDI at registration was 1 [IQR = 0-2]. Among the patients, 246 (35.1%) had smoking histories, and 38 (5.4%) experienced cancer complications. Gynecological malignancies accounted for 63.2% of all cancers. The SIR of cancer in the LUNA cohort was 1.08 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.74-1.43). No statistically significant risks of cancer were found in relation to CNI treatment history; the odds ratio using multiple logistic regression was 1.12 (95% CI = 0.42-3.00), the risk ratio using standardization was 1.18 (95% CI = 0.47-2.16), and the risk ratio using inverse probability weighting was 1.8 (95% CI = 0.41-4.66). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of cancer in patients with SLE in the LUNA cohort did not significantly differ from that in the general population. These findings suggest that CNI treatment in this cohort did not pose a risk factor for cancer development.

Abstract
The articular involvement in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) represents a clinical characteristic of acute monoarthritis with pain and hydrarthrosis, which always resolves spontaneously. Colchicine prevents painful arthritis attacks in most FMF cases. Spondyloarthritis is rarely associated with Japanese patients with FMF. Here, we report a Japanese male patient with FMF-related axial joint involvement. A 43-year-old male Japanese patient who presented with recurrent febrile episodes with hip joint and back pain was referred to our hospital. He carried heterozygous variants in exon 2 (L110P/E148Q) of the MEFV gene. FMF was suspected, and oral administration of colchicine (1 mg/day) was initiated. Colchicine treatment improved his febrile attack with hip joint pain. He was diagnosed as having FMF based on the Tel-Hashomer diagnostic criteria for FMF since he fulfilled one major criterion (repeated febrile attack accompanied by hip joint pain) and one minor criterion (improvement with colchicine treatment). Although the human leucocyte antigen-B27 allele was not detected, sacroiliitis-related symptoms progressed despite the ongoing colchicine treatment. Salazosulphapyridine and methotrexate were administered in addition to colchicine; however, these treatments were not effective. Canakinumab treatment successfully resolved this unique aspect of sacroiliitis, and the patient was finally diagnosed with FMF-associated axial joint involvement.

Abstract
This study evaluated the real-world effectiveness of belimumab (BLM) in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients with moderate to high disease activity. This retrospective cohort study enrolled 129 Japanese patients with moderate to high SLE disease activity who received BLM between January 2013 and March 2023. The clinical outcomes, including the flare-free survival, SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score, and prednisone-equivalent dose, in the BLM and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) treatment groups were compared before and after treatment. Safety data for BLM were collected. Additionally, we compared the effectiveness of BLM and intravenous cyclophosphamide (IV-CY) treatment using the stabilized inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method based on the propensity scores. This observational study enrolled 129 patients with moderate/severe SLE: 48 patients received belimumab, 45 received IV-CY, and 36 received MMF and prednisolone for remission induction therapy. The median follow-up for the BLM group was 17.0 months. Among them, 19 received BLM plus MMF. BLM significantly reduced the mean SLEDAI-2K (from mean baseline to 52 weeks: 49.2% reduction from 12.8 to 6.5) and prednisone daily dose (from mean baseline to 52 weeks: 21.9% reduction from 12.8 to 10.0 mg/day). The flare-free survival at 52 weeks was not significantly different between the BLM and MMF groups. There was no significant difference in the flare-free survival rates or reduction rates of the SLEDAI-2K between the patients treated with BLM and those treated with BLM plus MMF. In the propensity score-matched comparative analyses, there was no significant difference in the flare-free survival rates or an estimated decline in the SLEDAI-2K scores between the patients with lupus treated with BLM and IV-CY. BLM may be a promising alternative treatment option for lupus patients with moderate or high disease activity who do not respond to conventional treatments.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. OA results from the breakdown of cartilage, which leads to deterioration of the entire joint and the connective tissue that holds the joint together, and gradually and irreversibly worsens over time. Adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ADSCs) have been used in the treatment of knee OA. However, the safety and efficacy of ADSC treatment of OA remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the pathophysiology of severe knee arthritis that occurred after ADSC treatment by screening for autoantibodies in synovial fluid from patients who received ADSC treatment. Methods Adult Japanese patients with OA who received ADSC treatment at Saitama Cooperative Hospital between June 2018 and October 2021 were enrolled. Antibodies (Abs) were screened using immunoprecipitation (IPP) with [35S]-methionine-labeled HeLa cell extracts. The detected protein was identified by liquid chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MS) and ion trap MS, and the corresponding proteins were confirmed as autoantigens using immunoblotting. Ab titers were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results A total of 113 patients received ADSC treatment, and 75% (85/113) received ADSC injection at least twice with a 6-month interval between. No obvious abnormalities were observed in any patient after their first treatment; by contrast, 53% (45/85) of patients who received their second or third ADSC injection showed severe knee arthritis. IPP detected a common anti-15 kDa Ab in synovial fluid of 62% (8/13) of the samples analyzed from patients who showed severe arthritis. This Ab was not detected in synovial fluid obtained from the same joints before treatment. The corresponding autoantigen was identified as histone H2B. All available synovial samples from patients who tested positive for anti-histone H2B Ab were newly positive after the treatment; that is, none had been positive for anti-histone H2B Ab before treatment. Conclusions Multiple ADSC injections for OA induced severe arthritis in a high percentage of patients, particularly after the second injection. Synovial fluid from some patients with knee arthritis contained Ab to histone H2B that appeared only after ADSC treatment. These findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of ADSC treatment-induced severe arthritis.

Abstract
The polarization of Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons along the beam direction has been measured relative to the second and third harmonic event planes in isobar Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. This is the first experimental evidence of the hyperon polarization by the triangular flow originating from the initial density fluctuations. The amplitudes of the sine modulation for the second and third harmonic results are comparable in magnitude, increase from central to peripheral collisions, and show a mild p_{T} dependence. The azimuthal angle dependence of the polarization follows the vorticity pattern expected due to elliptic and triangular anisotropic flow, and qualitatively disagrees with most hydrodynamic model calculations based on thermal vorticity and shear induced contributions. The model results based on one of existing implementations of the shear contribution lead to a correct azimuthal angle dependence, but predict centrality and p_{T} dependence that still disagree with experimental measurements. Thus, our results provide stringent constraints on the thermal vorticity and shear-induced contributions to hyperon polarization. Comparison to previous measurements at RHIC and the LHC for the second-order harmonic results shows little dependence on the collision system size and collision energy.

Abstract
Background The ORAL Surveillance trial showed a potentially higher incidence of malignancy and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) associated with tofacitinib than those associated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors (TNFis). However, few studies have compared the safety of non-TNFis or other Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors (JAKis). This study was aimed at comparing the incidence rates (IRs) of malignancies and MACEs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated using interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibitors (IL-6is) or JAKis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 427 patients with RA who were treated using an IL-6i (n = 273) or a JAKi (n = 154). We determined the IRs of malignancy and MACEs, and the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of malignancies and investigated factors related to malignancy and MACEs. After adjusting the clinical characteristic imbalance by propensity score matching (PSM), we compared the IRs of adverse events between the JAKi and IL-6i groups. Results After PSM, the observational period was determined to be 605.27 patient-years (PY), and the median observational period was determined to be 2.28 years. We identified seven cases of malignancy (IR: 2.94 per 100 PY) in the JAKi-treated group and five cases (IR: 1.36 per 100 PY) in the IL-6i-treated group after PSM. The IR of MACEs was 2.56 and 0.83 (per 100 PY) in the JAKi- and IL-6i-treated groups. The IRRs of JAKi-treated patients versus IL-6i-treated patients were 2.13 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.67-7.42) for malignancy and 3.03 (95% CI: 0.77-15.21) for MACE. There were no significant differences in IRR for malignancy and MACE between both groups after PSM. Univariate and multivariable Cox regression analyses revealed that older age and JAKi use were independent risk factors for malignancy, while older age, hypertension, and JAKi use were independent risk factors for MACEs. The overall malignancy SIR was significantly higher in the JAKi-treated group compared to the general population (2.10/100 PY, 95% CI: 1.23-2.97). Conclusion The IRs of malignancy and MACE in patients with RA after PSM were comparable between IL-6i-treated and JAKi-treated patients. However, the SIR of malignancy in JAKi treatment was significantly higher than in the general population; therefore, further safety studies comparing JAKi to non-TNFi biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) are needed.

Abstract
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is characterized by high spiking fever, evanescent rash, and arthritis. However, AOSD rarely presents with severe acute kidney injury (AKI). We herein present the case of a 56-year-old woman with new-onset AOSD who rapidly developed AKI. A physical examination and laboratory data revealed spiking fever, evanescent rash, thrombocytopenia, hyperferritinemia, and azotemia. The patient was diagnosed with AOSD complicated by AKI and macrophage activation syndrome. Treatment with high-dose steroids, hemodialysis, and plasma exchange successfully resolved her AKI. In this report, we review previously published reports on AOSD accompanied by AKI and discuss this rare complication in AOSD.

Abstract
Background: To investigate the clinical features of Japanese patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), we evaluated the frequency of attacks, treatment responses, and adverse effects in 27 patients with FMF treated with colchicine or canakinumab in a real-world clinical setting. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 27 Japanese patients with FMF treated at our institute between April 2012 and June 2023. All patients were diagnosed with FMF according to the Tel-Hashomer criteria. We performed genetic analyses of the MEFV gene using targeted next-generation sequencing. The clinical response was monitored through the number of attacks, and inflammatory markers were monitored through the C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum amyloid A (SAA) concentrations. Colchicine resistance was defined as the presence of at least one attack/month despite administration of the maximum tolerated dose of colchicine for at least 6 months, and C-reactive protein and serum amyloid A levels above the normal range between attacks. Results: A total of 27 patients diagnosed with FMF were enrolled in this study and the median follow-up period was 36.4 months. The median attack frequency was 1.0 (interquartile range: 0.33-1.0) every 3 months before treatment initiation. All the patients (n = 27) were treated with colchicine. Among the 27 patients, 20 (71.8%) showed a clinical response and 7 (25.9%) showed an incomplete response with sufficient doses of colchicine (n = 5) and non-sufficient doses (n = 2). Two patients on non-sufficient doses were unable to increase colchicine to the maximum dose due to diarrhea and liver dysfunction. All seven patients achieved a reduction in attack frequency after the initiation of canakinumab. No serious adverse events associated with canakinumab treatment were observed. In these seven patients with colchicine-resistant FMF (crFMF), the MEFV exon 10 variant was not detected, and the absence ratio of the MEFV variant was significantly higher compared to those without crFMF. Conclusions: Colchicine was effective in 71.8% (20/27) of Japanese patients with FMF; however, the remaining patients (7/27) had crFMF. Canakinumab effectively controlled febrile attacks in crFMF, even in the absence of pathogenic MEFV exon 10 variants.

Abstract
As presently conceptualised, the artificial placenta (AP) is an experimental life support platform for extremely preterm infants (i.e. 400-600 g; 21-23+6 weeks of gestation) born at the border of viability. It is based around the oxygenation of the periviable fetus using gas-exchangers connected to the fetal vasculature. In this system, the lung remains fluid-filled and the fetus remains in a quiescent state. The AP has been in development for some sixty years. Over this time, animal experimental models have evolved iteratively from employing external pump-driven systems used to support comparatively mature fetuses (generally goats or sheep) to platforms driven by the fetal heart and used successfully to maintain extremely premature fetuses weighing around 600 g. Simultaneously, sizable advances in neonatal and obstetric care mean that the nature of a potential candidate patient for this therapy, and thus the threshold success level for justifying its adoption, have both changed markedly since this approach was first conceived. Five landmark breakthroughs have occurred over the developmental history of the AP: i) the first human studies reported in the 1950's; ii) foundation animal studies reported in the 1960's; iii) the first extended use of AP technology combined with fetal pulmonary resuscitation reported in the 1990s; iv) the development of AP systems powered by the fetal heart reported in the 2000's; and v) the adaption of this technology to maintain extremely preterm fetuses (i.e. 500-600 g body weight) reported in the 2010's. Using this framework, the present paper will provide a review of the developmental history of this long-running experimental system and up-to-date assessment of the published field today. With the apparent acceleration of AP technology towards clinical application, there has been an increase in the attention paid to the field, along with some inaccurate commentary regarding its potential application and merits. Additionally, this paper will address several misrepresentations regarding the potential application of AP technology that serve to distract from the significant potential of this approach to greatly improve outcomes for extremely preterm infants born at or close to the present border of viability.

Abstract
The transcription factor Fli-1, a member of the ETS family of transcription factors, is implicated in the pathogenesis of lupus disease. Reduced Fli-1 expression in lupus mice leads to decreased renal Cxcl10 mRNA levels and renal infiltrating CXCR3+ T cells that parallels reduced renal inflammatory cell infiltration and renal damage. Inflammatory chemokine CXCL10 is critical for attracting inflammatory cells expressing the chemokine receptor CXCR3. The CXCL10/CXCR3 axis plays a role in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases including lupus. Our data here demonstrate that renal CXCL10 protein levels are significantly lower in Fli-1 heterozygous MRL/lpr mice compared to wild-type MRL/lpr mice. Knockdown of Fli-1 significantly reduced CXCL10 secretion in mouse and human endothelial cells, and human mesangial cells, upon LPS or TNFα stimulation. The Fli-1 inhibitor, Camptothecin, significantly reduced CXCL10 production in human monocyte cells upon interferon stimulation. Four putative Ets binding sites in the Cxcl10 promoter showed significant enrichment for FLI-1; however, FLI-1 did not directly drive transcription from the human or mouse promoters, suggesting FLI-1 may regulate CXCL10 expression indirectly. Our results also suggest that the DNA binding domain of FLI-1 is necessary for regulation of human hCXCR3 promotor activity in human T cells and interactions with co-activators. Together, these results support a role for FLI-1 in modulating the CXCL10-CXCR3 axis by directly or indirectly regulating the expression of both genes to impact lupus disease development. Signaling pathways or drugs that reduce FLI-1 expression may offer novel approaches to lupus treatment.

Abstract
Theories of embodied cognition postulate that language processing activates similar sensory-motor structures as when interacting with the environment. Only little is known about the neural substrate of embodiment in a foreign language (L2) as compared to the mother tongue (L1). In this fMRI study, we investigated embodiment of motor and non-motor action verbs in L1 and L2 including 31 late bilinguals. Half had German as L1 and French as L2, and the other half vice-versa. We collapsed across languages to avoid the confound between language and order of language acquisition. Region of interest analyses showed stronger activation in motor regions during L2 than during L1 processing, independently of the motor-relatedness of the verbs. Moreover, a stronger involvement of motor regions for motor-related as compared to non-motor-related verbs, similarly for L1 and L2, was found. Overall, the similarity between L1 and L2 embodiment seems to depend on individual and contextual factors.

Abstract
Objectives Infection is a leading cause of death in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Alt hough hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has been reported to inhibit infection, evidence from Asian populations remains insufficient. We investigated this effect in Japanese SLE patients. Methods Data from the Lupus Registry of Nationwide Institutions were used in this study. The patients were ≥20 years old and met the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria revised in 1997. We defined "severe infections" as those requiring hospitalization. We analyzed the HCQ's effect on infection suppression using a generalized estimating equation (GEE) logistic regression model as the primary endpoint and performed a survival analysis for the duration until the first severe infection. Results Data from 925 patients were used (median age, 45 [interquartile range 35-57] years; female, 88.1%). GEE analysis revealed that severe infections were significantly associated with glucocorticoid dose (odds ratio [OR] 1.968 [95% confidence interval, 1.379-2.810], p<0.001), immunosuppressants (OR 1.561 [1.025-2.380], p=0.038), and baseline age (OR 1.043 [1.027-1.060], p<0.001). HCQ tended to suppress severe infections, although not significantly (OR 0.590 [0.329-1.058], p=0.077). Survival time analysis revealed a lower incidence of severe infections in the HCQ group than in the non-HCQ group (p<0.001). In a Cox proportional hazards model, baseline age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.029 [1.009-1.050], p=0.005) and HCQ (HR 0.322 [0.142-0.728], p=0.006) were significantly related to incidence. Conclusion HCQ may help extend the time until the occurrence of infection complications and tends to decrease infection rates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether drug-induced lymphocytopenia is associated with drug retention rates of JAKi (tofacitinib or baricitinib) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. METHODS Patients with RA who were initiated with tofacitinib (n = 38) or baricitinib (n = 74) between July 2015 and July 2022 and continued for at least 4 months were enrolled in this study. Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) value was obtained pre-treatment and monthly after initiation of JAKi (up to 4 months). Associations between ALC nadir at an early phase (up to 4 months) from JAKi initiation and drug retention rates were analysed. RESULTS 112 patients (87 females; age, 71.2 ± 14.0 years; disease duration, 9.2 ± 10.5 months; DAS28-CRP, 3.60 ± 1.12; DAS28-ESR, 4.43 ± 1.29; CDAI, 17.9 ± 12.9; C-reactive protein, 3.07 ± 3.43 mg/dL; and lymphocyte count, 1361.9 ± 538.7 per μL) treated with tofacitinib or baricitinib were retrospectively analysed. Lymphocytopenia (>10% decline in lymphocyte count to pre-treatment basal levels) was observed in a quarter of RA patients treated with JAKi (tofacitinib; 16 baricitinib; 14). RA patients with lymphopenia were associated with the lower drug retention rates of tofacitinib compared to those without lymphocytopenia. The reduced drug retention rates in patients with lymphocytopenia were attributed to the discontinuation of tofacitinib due to AEs. Whereas lymphocytopenia was not associated with lower drug retention rates of baricitinib. Pre-treatment absolute lymphocyte counts did not affect the drug retention rates of JAKi in patients with RA. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that lymphopenia during the first 4 months from the initiation of JAKi is associated with reduced drug retention rates in patients with RA due to AEs, which is exclusively associated with the use of tofacitinib.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We examined the real-world drug retention rate and safety data of Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) in elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS This study enrolled 133 RA patients (≥65 years) with sufficient clinical data who were initiated with JAKis during the study period. These patients were divided into two groups: the very elderly group (≥ 75 years) and the elderly group (65 ≤ years < 75). The drug retention rates of JAKis were compared using Kaplan-Meier curves. RESULTS The discontinuation rates of JAKis were as follows: lack of effectiveness 27 (20.3%), adverse events (AEs) 29 (21.8%), and remission 2 (1.5%). There was no significant difference in the overall drug retention rate between the very elderly group (≥75 years) and the elderly group. Furthermore, the overall drug retention rates of JAKis were not affected by gender, methotrexate use, and anti-citrullinated protein/peptide antibody (ACPA) status. The discontinuation rates of JAKis due to AEs were comparable both in the very elderly group (≥75 years) and the elderly group (65 ≤ years < 75). Whereas chronic lung disease and hypoalbuminemia were independently associated with discontinuation rates due to AEs, the overall drug retention rates were significantly lower in patients treated with the approved dose of JAKis than in those treated with a reduced or tapered dose. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the overall drug retention rate of JAKis in very elderly patients (≥75 years) was comparable with that in elderly patients (65 ≤ years < 75). The discontinuation rates of JAKis due to AEs were also comparable both in very elderly group patients and elderly patients.

Abstract
We present measurements of the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry A_{LL} of direct-photon production in p[over →]+p[over →] collisions at sqrt[s]=510 GeV. The measurements have been performed at midrapidity (|η|<0.25) with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. At relativistic energies, direct photons are dominantly produced from the initial quark-gluon hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force at leading order. Therefore, at sqrt[s]=510 GeV, where leading-order-effects dominate, these measurements provide clean and direct access to the gluon helicity in the polarized proton in the gluon-momentum-fraction range 0.02<x<0.08, with direct sensitivity to the sign of the gluon contribution.

Abstract
The elliptic (v_{2}) and triangular (v_{3}) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients in central ^{3}He+Au, d+Au, and p+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV are measured as a function of transverse momentum (p_{T}) at midrapidity (|η|<0.9), via the azimuthal angular correlation between two particles both at |η|<0.9. While the v_{2}(p_{T}) values depend on the colliding systems, the v_{3}(p_{T}) values are system independent within the uncertainties, suggesting an influence on eccentricity from subnucleonic fluctuations in these small-sized systems. These results also provide stringent constraints for the hydrodynamic modeling of these systems.

Abstract
We report here the first observation of directed flow (v_{1}) of the hypernuclei _{Λ}^{3}H and _{Λ}^{4}H in mid-central Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=3 GeV at RHIC. These data are taken as part of the beam energy scan program carried out by the STAR experiment. From 165×10^{6} events in 5%-40% centrality, about 8400 _{Λ}^{3}H and 5200 _{Λ}^{4}H candidates are reconstructed through two- and three-body decay channels. We observe that these hypernuclei exhibit significant directed flow. Comparing to that of light nuclei, it is found that the midrapidity v_{1} slopes of _{Λ}^{3}H and _{Λ}^{4}H follow baryon number scaling, implying that the coalescence is the dominant mechanism for these hypernuclei production in the 3 GeV Au+Au collisions.

Abstract
We report the triton (t) production in midrapidity (|y|<0.5) Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=7.7-200 GeV measured by the STAR experiment from the first phase of the beam energy scan at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The nuclear compound yield ratio (N_{t}×N_{p}/N_{d}^{2}), which is predicted to be sensitive to the fluctuation of local neutron density, is observed to decrease monotonically with increasing charged-particle multiplicity (dN_{ch}/dη) and follows a scaling behavior. The dN_{ch}/dη dependence of the yield ratio is compared to calculations from coalescence and thermal models. Enhancements in the yield ratios relative to the coalescence baseline are observed in the 0%-10% most central collisions at 19.6 and 27 GeV, with a significance of 2.3σ and 3.4σ, respectively, giving a combined significance of 4.1σ. The enhancements are not observed in peripheral collisions or model calculations without critical fluctuation, and decreases with a smaller p_{T} acceptance. The physics implications of these results on the QCD phase structure and the production mechanism of light nuclei in heavy-ion collisions are discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Friend leukaemia virus integration 1 (Fli-1) regulates chemokine/cytokine expression and thus plays an important role in the development of lupus nephritis. Chemokine CXC ligand 13 (CXCL13) is a chemokine that promotes the formation of ectopic lymphoid structures and has been reported to be associated with the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis. The relationship between Fli-1 and CXCL13 is unknown. This study aims to elucidate whether Fli-1 impacts CXCL13 expression and contributes to the progression of lupus-like nephritis in adult MRL/lpr mouse. METHODS Serum CXCL13 levels were measured in adult wild-type (WT) MRL/lpr mice and Fli-1 heterozygote knockout (Fli-1+/-) MRL/lpr mice (4 months old or older) using ELISA. Renal mRNA expression (CXCL13 and related molecules) was measured using real-time PCR method. Kidneys were removed, stained and evaluated using a pathology scoring system. The grade of CXCL13 or CXC-chemokine receptor type 5 (CXCR5)-positive immune cell infiltration into the kidney was evaluated using immunostaining with anti-CXCL13 or anti-CXCR5 antibodies. We also used immunofluorescence staining with CXCL13- and CD11b-specific antibodies to detect the infiltration of CXCL13/CD11b double-positive immune cells. RESULTS Serum CXCL13 levels in Fli-1+/- MRL/lpr mice were significantly lower than that in WT MRL/lpr mice (545.5 and 960.5 pg/mL, p=0.02). Renal expression of CXCL13 mRNA and SRY-related HMG box4 (Sox4) (an important factor for B-cell development) levels were significantly lower in Fli-1+/- MRL/lpr mice. Renal histology scores in WT MRL/lpr mice revealed significantly increased glomerular inflammation. Despite similar interstitial immune cell infiltration into the kidney, the number of CXCL13- and CXCR5-positive cells was significantly lower in Fli-1+/- MRL/lpr mice than in WT mice. Furthermore, immunofluorescence staining revealed that Fli-1+/-MRL/lpr mice had significantly fewer CXCL13/CD11b double-positive immune cells. CONCLUSION Fli-1 regulates renal Sox4 mRNA expression and infiltration of CXCR5-positive cells as well as CXCL13/CD11b double-positive immune cells into the kidney, which affects CXCL13 expression and lupus-like nephritis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) frequently change attending physicians. The number of changes in attending physicians is related to the accumulated organ damage in patients with diabetes mellitus and inflammatory bowel disease, although similar results are not known for patients with SLE. This study investigated whether the number of attending physicians after the onset of SLE is associated with organ damage. METHODS Patients with SLE were enrolled in a multicenter registry of 14 institutions (the Lupus Registry of Nationwide Institutions). Patients with a disease duration of 6 months to 10 years were included. Exposure was defined as the number of attending physicians. The primary outcome was the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology damage index (SDI). The secondary outcomes were corticosteroid- and non-corticosteroid-related damage. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the association between the number of attending physicians and SDI, adjusting for potential confounders, including age, sex, disease duration, number of hospitalizations due to SLE, disease activity at diagnosis, and emotional health. RESULTS Of the 702 patients, 86.5% were women (median age 46 years, interquartile range 35-58). The disease duration was 7.3 years (4.3-11.3), the number of hospitalizations due to SLE was 1 (1-3), the number of attending physicians was 3 (2-4), and SDI was 0 points (0-1). The number of attending physicians was significantly associated with SDI [odds ratio (OR) 1.14, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03-1.26]. In the secondary outcome, the number of attending physicians was significantly associated with corticosteroid-related damage (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.09-1.38). The number of attending physicians was not significantly associated with non-corticosteroid-related damage (OR 1.08, 95% CI 0.99-1.19). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that SDI could increase as the number of attending physicians increases. The impact of changing attending physicians warrants greater attention for SLE and other diseases.

Abstract
We report on measurements of sequential ϒ suppression in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV with the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) through both the dielectron and dimuon decay channels. In the 0%-60% centrality class, the nuclear modification factors (R_{AA}), which quantify the level of yield suppression in heavy-ion collisions compared to p+p collisions, for ϒ(1S) and ϒ(2S) are 0.40±0.03(stat)±0.03(sys)±0.09(norm) and 0.26±0.08(stat)±0.02(sys)±0.06(norm), respectively, while the upper limit of the ϒ(3S) R_{AA} is 0.17 at a 95% confidence level. This provides experimental evidence that the ϒ(3S) is significantly more suppressed than the ϒ(1S) at RHIC. The level of suppression for ϒ(1S) is comparable to that observed at the much higher collision energy at the Large Hadron Collider. These results point to the creation of a medium at RHIC whose temperature is sufficiently high to strongly suppress excited ϒ states.

Abstract
Castleman disease (CD) is a lymphoproliferative disorder that manifests as hypergammaglobulinemia and severe inflammation with multiorgan involvement. However, renal involvement has been infrequently described in CD. We present a case of a 63-year-old Japanese male patient with multicentric CD (MCD) in whom kidney involvement, including impaired renal function and massive proteinuria, is present. He had a 2-year history of inflammatory arthritis and was referred to our clinic with newly developed proteinuria, renal dysfunction, and elevated levels of acute-phase proteins. Abdominal computed tomography scan revealed hepatosplenomegaly, including mesenteric and inguinal lymph node enlargements. The patient underwent inguinal lymph node resection. Excisional biopsy of the inguinal lymph node showed multiple lymphoid follicles and expansion of interfollicular areas by marked plasmacytosis consistent with mixed type CD. The patient was diagnosed with human herpes virus 8-negative MCD according to the international diagnostic criteria for CD. Diagnostic renal biopsy was not performed following the medical viewpoint. Tocilizumab (TCZ) treatment was highly effective in reducing proteinuria and stabilizing renal function, as well as improving other clinical symptoms. The patient responded to TCZ treatment, and the renal involvement was rapidly improved. Our preliminary immunohistochemical analysis indicated AA amyloid deposits in urinary epithelial cells suggesting a possible renal involvement of AA amyloidosis. TCZ could potentially be one of the therapeutic options in patients with MCD with renal involvement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The efficacy of tocilizumab (TCZ) in the treatment of Takayasu arteritis (TA) was demonstrated in randomized controlled trials. The objective of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of combining TCZ with glucocorticoids (GC) as induction therapy in patients with TA. METHOD This was a retrospective observational study including 32 patients with newly diagnosed TA. Clinical effectiveness of TCZ in maintaining relapse-free remission and GC-tapering were compared between patients who were treated with TCZ plus GC and those who were treated with GC with or without immunosuppressants. RESULTS The study comprised 32 patients (27 women/5 men) with a median age of 25.5 years (range, 13-72). In the TCZ group (n = 14), patients received TCZ in combination with GC as an induction therapy. In the non-TCZ group (n = 18), patients were treated with single-agent GC or GC plus immunosuppressant. In the matched analysis, relapse-free survival rate was significantly higher in the TCZ group as compared to the non-TCZ group during GC taper. CONCLUSION TCZ, in combination with GC, would be an effective alternative induction regimen for patients with TA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Rituximab (RTX) efficacy for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) has been reported in large randomized studies; however, the efficacy of RTX in Japanese AAV patients, especially the elderly, is not well known. We aimed to determine the clinical efficacy of RTX in Japanese AAV patients including elderly patients. METHODS This study included 78 AAV patients newly diagnosed with AAV and treated in Fukushima Medical University Hospital or Ohta-Nishinouchi Hospital from April 2004 to September 2019. Clinical records were retrospectively reviewed, and clinical efficacy and outcome (1-year survival) between the RTX treatment group (23 cases) and the conventional therapy group (immunosuppressive therapy other than RTX, 55 cases) were compared. We also analysed the clinical efficacy and outcome in elderly-onset (>75 years) AAV patients. RESULTS The RTX group showed similar efficacy and 1-year survival compared to the conventional therapy group. Conversely, after 6 months of treatment, prednisolone doses significantly decreased in the RTX group compared to the conventional therapy group (p < 0.01). In the elderly-onset AAV patients, clinical efficacy and outcome were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS RTX was effective in Japanese AAV patients and may be useful for prompt tapering of prednisolone doses, even in elderly-onset AAV patients.

Abstract
We report the beam energy and collision centrality dependence of fifth and sixth order cumulants (C_{5}, C_{6}) and factorial cumulants (κ_{5}, κ_{6}) of net-proton and proton number distributions, from center-of-mass energy (sqrt[s_{NN}]) 3 GeV to 200 GeV Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Cumulant ratios of net-proton (taken as proxy for net-baryon) distributions generally follow the hierarchy expected from QCD thermodynamics, except for the case of collisions at 3 GeV. The measured values of C_{6}/C_{2} for 0%-40% centrality collisions show progressively negative trend with decreasing energy, while it is positive for the lowest energy studied. These observed negative signs are consistent with QCD calculations (for baryon chemical potential, μ_{B}≤110 MeV) which contains the crossover transition range. In addition, for energies above 7.7 GeV, the measured proton κ_{n}, within uncertainties, does not support the two-component (Poisson+binomial) shape of proton number distributions that would be expected from a first-order phase transition. Taken in combination, the hyperorder proton number fluctuations suggest that the structure of QCD matter at high baryon density, μ_{B}∼750 MeV at sqrt[s_{NN}]=3 GeV is starkly different from those at vanishing μ_{B}∼24 MeV at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV and higher collision energies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fatigue is one of the most common complaints and is a potentially modifiable issue in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Studies suggest that alcohol consumption has a protective effect against the development of SLE; however, an association between alcohol consumption and fatigue in patients with SLE has not been studied. Here, we assessed whether alcohol consumption was associated with fatigue using lupus patient-reported outcomes (LupusPRO). METHODS This cross-sectional study, conducted between 2018 and 2019, included 534 patients (median age, 45 years; 87.3% female) from 10 institutions in Japan. The main exposure was alcohol consumption, which was defined as the frequency of drinking [<1 day/month (none group), ≤1 day/week (moderate group), and ≥2 days/week (frequent group)]. The outcome measure was the Pain Vitality domain score in LupusPRO. Multiple regression analysis was performed as the primary analysis after adjusting for confounding factors, such as age, sex, and damage. Subsequently, the same analysis was performed as a sensitivity analysis after multiple imputations (MIs) for missing data (n = 580). RESULTS In total, 326 (61.0%) patients were categorized into the none group, 121 (22.7%) into the moderate group, and 87 (16.3%) into the frequent group. The frequent group was independently associated with less fatigue compared with none group [β = 5.98 (95% CI 0.19-11.76), p = 0.04], and the results did not substantially deviate after MI. CONCLUSIONS Frequent drinking was associated with less fatigue, which highlights the need for further longitudinal studies focusing on drinking habits in patients with SLE.

Abstract
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a rare disorder of unknown etiology, which is characterized by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation of the upper respiratory system and kidneys. Immunosuppressive treatment (cyclophosphamide or azathioprine with glucocorticoids) improved the outcome of GPA, however, latent comorbidity (cancers and hematologic malignancies) has become more prevalent in recent years. Here, we present a first case of the patient with GPA complicated by acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) successfully treated with molecular-targeted therapy. A 77-year-old female was referred to our hospital for nasal obstruction, hearing loss, and fever. Otorhinolaryngological investigation revealed otitis media, and head computed tomography (CT) showed paranasal mucosal thickening with septal perforation. Chest CT showed cavitary granulomatous lesions in both lungs. Biopsy of the nasal mucosa revealed granulomatous lesions, and the patient was finally diagnosed with GPA. Oral administration of prednisolone 50 mg/day was initiated, and oral azathioprine (50 mg/day) was added. After 26 months of azathioprine initiation, pancytopenia developed and azathioprine was stopped. Then sudden elevated levels of blasts appeared in the hemogram (blasts 11%). She was diagnosed with APL via bone marrow examination which revealed plenty of faggot cells with Auer rods and chromosomal mutation. The patient was started on all-trans retinoic acid 60 mg/day following arsenic trioxide 7 mg/day in consideration of elderly onset. Complete remission was achieved and oral prednisolone was successfully reduced to 15 mg/day without a major relapse of GPA. Because GPA can be complicated by APL even during maintenance treatment using azathioprine, careful monitoring should be performed in such patients.

Abstract
Temporal arteritis (TA) is a large-vessel vasculitis mostly seen in older patients. Amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis secondary to a chronic inflammation induces multiple organ dysfunctions, including a dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract. Herein, we present a case of TA complicated by AA amyloidosis that was resistant to oral and intravenous steroids. An 80-year-old man with a history of new-onset headache, jaw claudication, and distended temporal arteries was referred to our department. On admission, the patient presented with tenderness and a subcutaneous temporal nodule in both temple arteries. Ultrasonography of the nodule revealed an anechoic perivascular halo surrounding the right temporal artery. Following the diagnosis of TA, high-dose prednisolone therapy was initiated. However, the patient presented with recurrent abdominal pain and refractory diarrhea. Due to the unclear origin of refractory diarrhea, an extensive workup, including biopsy of the duodenal mucosa, was performed. Endoscopy revealed chronic inflammation in the duodenum. Immunohistochemical analysis of duodenal mucosal biopsy samples revealed AA amyloid deposition resulting in the diagnosis of AA amyloidosis. After tocilizumab (TCZ) administration, refractory diarrhea reduced; however, the patient died of intestinal perforation 1 month after the start of TCZ administration. Gastrointestinal involvement was the main clinical manifestation of AA amyloidosis in the present case. This case highlights the importance of bowel biopsy screening for amyloid deposition in patients with unexplained gastrointestinal tract symptoms, even in a recent onset of large-vessel vasculitis. In the present case, the carriage of the SAA1.3 allele likely contributed to the rare association of AA amyloidosis with TA.

Abstract
The sequential progression from chronic liver disease to cirrhosis may be a risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. Although HCC originates from hepatitis B virus- or hepatitis C virus-associated liver cirrhosis, it has recently been reported in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with advanced fibrosis. However, little is known about the pathophysiological mechanisms linking HCC to rheumatic disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Herein, we describe the case of HCC with NASH complicated by RA and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). A fifty-two-year-old patient with RA and diabetes was referred to our hospital for further examination of a liver tumor. She received methotrexate (4 mg/week) for 3 years and adalimumab (40 mg/biweekly) for 2 years. On admission, laboratory data showed mild thrombocytopenia and hypoalbuminemia, with normal hepatitis virus markers or liver enzymes. Anti-nuclear antibodies were positive with high titers (x640), and anti-SS-A/Ro (187.0 U/ml; normal range [NR]: ≤6.9 U/mL) and anti-SS-B/La (320 U/ml; NR: ≤6.9 U/mL) antibodies were also high. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography revealed liver cirrhosis and a tumor in the left lobe (S4) of the liver. She was diagnosed with HCC based on imaging findings, and elevated levels of protein induced by vitamin K absence- II (PIVKA-II) were detected. She underwent laparoscopic partial hepatectomy, and histopathological examination revealed steatohepatitis HCC with background liver cirrhosis. The patient was discharged on the 8th day post-operation without any complications. At the 30 months follow-up, no significant evidence of recurrence was observed. Our case suggests that clinical screening for HCC is needed in patients with RA who are at a high risk of NASH, as they may progress to HCC even without elevated liver enzymes.

Abstract
Autoinflammatory diseases are systemic disorders caused by genetic or acquired abnormalities in certain signaling pathways of the innate immune system. Dysregulated activation of the inflammasome, i.e. molecular platforms responsible for the activation of caspase-1 and production of interleukin-1β, causes autoinflammation. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), the most common genetic autoinflammatory disease, is characterized by a periodic fever and serositis. The complex and heterogeneous genetic background of Japanese FMF patients, accompanied by potential overlap with other rheumatic diseases, suggests crosstalk between genetic and environmental factors. Recently, FMF has been recognized as being part of a spectrum of autoinflammatory syndromes named pyrin-associated autoinflammatory diseases. The discovery of a new monogenic autoinflammatory disease, A20 haploinsufficiency, may provide novel insights into early-onset Behçet's-like diseases. In contrast, adult-onset Still's disease and Schnitzler's syndrome are acquired autoinflammatory diseases without a monogenic abnormality. Although the concept of autoinflammatory diseases originally applied to monogenic hereditary recurrent fevers, it has been expanded to include non-genetic complex autoinflammatory diseases. Information concerning monogenic autoinflammatory diseases may prove useful for elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying non-genetic autoinflammatory diseases.

Elliptic flow measurements from two-, four-, and six-particle correlations are used to investigate flow fluctuations in collisions of U+U at sqrt[s_{NN}]=193 GeV, Cu+Au at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV and Au+Au spanning the range sqrt[s_{NN}]=11.5-200 GeV. The measurements show a strong dependence of the flow fluctuations on collision centrality, a modest dependence on system size, and very little if any, dependence on particle species and beam energy. The results, when compared to similar LHC measurements, viscous hydrodynamic calculations, and trento model eccentricities, indicate that initial-state-driven fluctuations predominate the flow fluctuations generated in the collisions studied.

Abstract
Altered expression of adhesion molecules in immune cells has been demonstrated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Carcinoembryonic-antigen-related cell-adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) is an adhesion molecule that acts as a coinhibitory receptor in the immune system. We investigated the role of CEACAM1 in immune cell subsets of patients with RA. Peripheral blood was obtained from 37 patients with RA and 20 healthy controls (HC). The expression of CEACAM1 and T-cell immunoglobulin mucin domain molecule (TIM) -3 on peripheral blood mononuclear cells and neutrophils was analyzed by flow cytometry. Intracellular TIM-3 expression was analyzed using cellular lysates by Western blot analysis. Serum levels of soluble CEACAM1 (sCEACAM1) were estimated by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. CEACAM1 expression was not detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, including in CD14(+) monocytes and CD3(+) lymphocytes isolated from patients with RA or HC. However, substantial cell-surface expression of CEACAM1 was detected in peripheral blood neutrophils, and it was significantly elevated in samples from patients with RA without remission compared to those in remission. There was no significant difference in serum levels of sCEACAM1 between patients with RA and HC. Cell-surface expression of TIM-3 was not detected in peripheral blood neutrophils from patients with RA or HC but was seen in CD14(+) monocytes. However, there was no significant difference in TIM-3 expression on monocytes between patients with RA and HC. Our data indicate that cell-surface expression of CEACAM1 on peripheral blood neutrophils are higher in patients with RA and that it is associated with rheumatoid inflammation. Further studies are needed to explore the potential role of CEACAM1 in rheumatoid inflammatory pathways.

Abstract
RATIONALE Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare inflammatory disease characterized by a classic triad of daily spike fever, arthritis, and a typical salmon-pink rash. The involvement of inflammatory cytokines by various factors such as infection, drug, or neoplasm causes refractory AOSD. PATIENT CONCERNS We report a 63-year-old man with a high fever, rash, hyperferritinemia, and M proteinemia. His serum levels of interleukin-6 and interleukin-18 were remarkably high at 192 and 114,250 pg/mL, respectively. DIAGNOSIS AOSD complicated with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance was diagnosed. INTERVENTIONS After steroid pulse therapy followed by oral prednisolone, cyclosporin, methotrexate, and colchicine, serum ferritin levels temporarily declined, but secondary cytomegalovirus infections exacerbated AOSD's activity. OUTCOMES Finally, after tocilizumab induction, AOSD activity was gradually suppressed over a long period. LESSONS The disease activity of AOSD is exacerbated by multiple factors, including comorbidities or infections. Clinicians need to consider that monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance complications might become AOSD refractory by an elevation of the inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, further prospective studies are required to confirm this result.

Abstract
In this retrospective cohort study, we compared the retention rates and effectiveness of biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) and targeted synthetic DMARDs (targeted disease modifying antirheumatic drug [tsDMARDs]: Janus kinase inhibitors [JAKi]) in elderly patients with RA. One hundred thirty-four elderly RA patients (≥65 years) who were initiated with bDMARDs (n = 80) or JAKi (n = 54) between 2016 and 2020 in our institute were enrolled in this analysis. Follow-up was conducted at 4-week intervals from the start of bDMARDs or JAKi. We compared the drug retention and clinical response at 24 week between elderly RA patients treated with bDMARDs and JAKi. In the demographic data, more disease duration, the proportion of previous bDMARDs use and less the proportion of glucocorticoid use in JAKi group was significantly observed compared to the bDMARDs group. Otherwise, there was no significant difference in the other variables between the bDMARDs and JAKi groups. In the JAKi group, drug retention rate was not significantly different compared to the bDMARDs group (HR: 0.723, 95% CI: 0.406-1.289, P = .266). Also, there was no significant difference in the proportion of patients achieving good or moderate European alliance of associations for rheumatology (EULAR) response at 24 week between these two groups (bDMARDs; 88.6% vs JAKi; 91.8%, P = .158). In elderly RA patients initiated with bDMARDs or JAKi, drug retention rates of these targeted therapies did not differ significantly between these two groups. These findings suggest that elderly RA patients can achieve similar clinical improvement after initiating bDMARDs or JAKi.

Abstract
Background The difference in diagnostic yield between surgical lung biopsy and transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) in diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD) has been reported to be due to differences in the rate of interpathologist agreement, specimen size, and specimen adequacy. In TBLC, the specimens containing large airway components are generally believed as inadequate specimens for histological evaluation, but the detailed characteristics of TBLC specimens including the large airway and the impact on histological diagnostic rates of DPLD have not been investigated. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the specimen characteristics of patients with DPLD who underwent TBLC. Results Between February 2018 and January 2020, 74 patients and 177 specimens were included. There were 85 (48.0%) large airway specimens (LAS) that contained bronchial gland or bronchial cartilage. The ideal specimen ratio was significantly lower in the LAS-positive group than that in the LAS-negative group (5.8% vs. 45.6%), and the proportion of bronchioles, alveoli, and perilobular area were similarly lower in the LAS-positive group. The presence of traction bronchiectasis and diaphragm overlap sign on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) were also significantly higher in the LAS-positive group than those in the LAS-negative group. We observed a statistically significant trend in histological diagnostic yield (40.7% in LAS positive group; 60.8% in LAS positive and negative group; 91.6% in LAS negative group) (Cochran-Armitage trend test). Conclusion LAS is a specimen often collected in TBLC and contains a low percentage of bronchioles, alveoli, and perilobular area. Since the histological diagnostic yield tends to be higher in cases that do not contain LAS, it may be important to determine the biopsy site that reduces the frequency of LAS collection by referring to the HRCT findings in TBLC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The relationship between carotid artery ultrasound findings and clinical outcomes in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) patients has not been fully elucidated.
Purpose
To investigate the relationship between carotid artery ultrasound findings and cardiovascular risks in PCI patients.
Methods
This was a single-center retrospective study investigating 691 patients who underwent PCI and carotid ultrasound testing. Maximum carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) was defined as the greatest CIMT at the maximally thick point among the common carotid artery, carotid bulb, and internal carotid artery. A carotid plaque was defined as vessel wall thickening with a CIMT ≥1.5 mm. The characteristics of carotid plaque (heterogeneity, calcification, or irregular/ulcerated surface) were evaluated visually. Patients were divided into those with and without heterogeneous carotid plaque (maximum CIMT ≥1.5 mm and heterogeneous texture). The endpoint was the incidence of a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke.
Results
Among 691 patients, 312 were categorized as having a heterogeneous plaque. Patients with heterogeneous plaques were at a higher risk of MACE than those without (p=0.002). A heterogeneous plaque was independently associated with MACE after adjusting for covariates (hazard ratio [HR], 1.80; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06–3.04; p=0.03). Calcified or irregular/ulcerated plaques were correlated with a higher incidence of MACE but both were not independently associated with MACE (HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 0.70–2.67, p=0.36 and HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 0.66–1.93; p=0.66, respectively).
Conclusions
The presence of a heterogeneous carotid plaque in patients who underwent PCI predicted future cardiovascular events. These patients may require more aggressive medical therapy and careful follow-up.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent clinical study suggests newer-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) that combine ultrathin strut and nano-coating with biodegradable polymers sirolimus-eluting stent (BP-SES) could improve long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over current generation DES. However, the details of vascular response in very early and chronic phase have not been systematically addressed.
Objective and method
We exploratory investigate early and chronic vascular response following BP-SES implantation in patients with STEMI to reveal mechanism of the favorable clinical outcomes in recent studies using frequency domain-optical coherence tomography (FD-OCT).
Consecutive twenty-four patients with STEMI who underwent FD-OCT after primary PCI and were eligible for follow-up FD-OCT at 2 weeks and 1 year after implantation were enrolled between June 2018 and August 2020.
OCT was performed immediately after PCI, at 2-weeks (2W) and 1-year (1Y) after the primary PCI. Struts were recorded as uncovered if any part was visibly exposed in the lumen or covered if a layer of tissue covered all reflecting surfaces. Struts of stents that are smaller than 3.0mm of diameter with more than 80μm between the center reflection and the adjacent vessel surface were recorded as malapposed. The reduction of atherothrombotic protrusion burden within the stent was also assessed.
Results
Twenty-four patients (age 64.9±11.4 years, male 83.3%) were enrolled.
The percentage of uncovered struts significantly decreased from post-PCI to 2W follow-up and from 2W follow-up to 1Y follow-up (62±20% post-PCI versus 27±11% at 2W follow up, p<0.0001 and 2W follow-up versus 3.3±3.3% at 1Y follow up, p<0.0001). Malapposed struts also decreased from post-PCI to 2W follow-up (4.1±3.6% post-PCI versus 1.5±2.2% at 2W follow-up, p<0.0001), but no significant difference was shown between 2W follow-up and 1Y follow-up (2W follow-up versus 1.0±2.3 at 1Y follow up, p=0.12). The average protrusion area of athero-thrombotic burden decreased (0.57±0.32 at post-PCI versus 0.42±0.22 mm2 at 2W follow up, p<0.0001) and its volume showed similar tendency (16.6±10.7 at post-PCI versus 12.9±8.23 mm3 at 2W follow up, p=0.0011). Thrombus was shown in all patients at post-PCI, but two patients (8.0%) showed it at 1Y follow-up.
Conclusion(s)
This study elucidated very early and chronic vascular responses following ultrathin strut BP-SES implantation in STEMI patients by FD-OCT. It showed resolution of athero-thrombotic materials in very early phase and favorable progression of strut coverage in very early and chronic phase.

Abstract
Severe enteritis is a rare side effect of cyclophosphamide (CPA) therapy, and only two cases have been reported to date. We herein report a 60-year-old man who developed severe enteritis after intravenous CPA administration for microscopic polyangiitis. He was successfully treated by discontinuation of CPA administration and long-term intensive supportive care. A diagnosis of CPA-associated enteritis was made based on the clinical course and imaging and pathological findings. This review of three cases of CPA-related enteritis, including our case, suggests that prompt CPA discontinuation and intensive systemic management are necessary when patients have gastrointestinal symptoms after CPA administration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE It is still unclear how glucocorticoids (GCs) affect the long-term clinical course of patients with SLE. The objective of this study is to explore the factors associated with GC-free treatment status. METHODS Using data from the lupus registry of nationwide institutions, GC dose at registration was compared between short, middle and long disease durations of <5, 5-20 and ≥20 years, respectively. After excluding patients who never used GC, we evaluated the relationship between GC-free status and chronic damage using Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics Damage Index. RESULTS GC doses at enrolment of the 1019 patients were as follows: GC-free in 101 (10%); 0<prednisolone (PSL) ≤5 mg/day in 411 (40%); 5<PSL ≤7.5 in 169 (17%); 7.5<PSL ≤10 in 194 (19%) and PSL≥10 in 144 (14%) patients. Of the patients who were not currently using GCs, patients who never used GC more frequently had short disease duration (66% with short, 23% with middle and 17% with long disease duration, p=0.00029). Univariate analysis of patients who underwent GC treatment showed that patients without GCs exhibited older age, lower disease activity, less immunosuppressant and hydroxychloroquine use and higher C3 levels. Among patients with a disease duration of ≥20 years, GC-free status was more frequent in patients without chronic damage (11% vs 4%, p=0.023). After adjusting for age, sex and disease activity, no chronic damage accrual was associated with GC-free status (OR 3.6, 95% CI 1.1 to 11.3). CONCLUSION Even in the patients with long disease duration, one-point GC-free treatment status might be related to no chronic damage accrual.
