Abstract
BACKGROUND The benefit of adding rituximab to standard lymphomes malins B (LMB) chemotherapy for children with high-risk mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) has previously been demonstrated in an international randomized phase III trial, to which the Japanese Pediatric Leukemia/Lymphoma Study Group could not participate. METHODS To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab in combination with LMB chemotherapy in Japanese patients, we conducted a single-arm multicenter trial. RESULTS In this study, 45 patients were enrolled between April 2016 and September 2018. A total of 33 (73.3%), 5 (11.1%), and 6 (13.3%) patients had Burkitt lymphoma/leukemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and aggressive mature B-NHL, not otherwise specified, respectively. Ten (22.2%) and 21 (46.7%) patients had central nervous system disease and leukemic disease, respectively. The median follow-up period was 47.5 months. Three-year event-free survival and overall survival were 97.7% (95% confidence interval, 84.9-99.7) and 100%, respectively. The only event was relapse, which occurred in a patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Seven patients (15.6%) developed Grade 4 or higher non-hematologic adverse events. Febrile neutropenia was the most frequent Grade 3 or higher adverse event after the pre-phase treatment, with a frequency of 54.5%. CONCLUSION The efficacy and safety of rituximab in combination with LMB chemotherapy in children with high-risk mature B-NHL was observed in Japan.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Children and adolescents with mature B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) are treated with short-intensive chemotherapy. The burden of short-term and long-term toxicity is highly relative to its high cure rate in good-risk patients. Although the addition of rituximab to standard lymphome Malin B (LMB) chemotherapy markedly prolongs event-free survival and overall survival in high-risk patients, the benefit of rituximab in good-risk patients remains to be elucidated. This clinical trial will examine whether the addition of rituximab eliminates anthracyclines in good-risk patients without compromising treatment outcomes. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will perform a single-arm, open-label, multicentre phase II study. Low-risk (stage I - completely resected, stage II abdominal) and intermediate-risk (stages I and II - incompletely resected; stage II - resected, other than abdominal; stage III with LDH <2× upper limit of normal) patients with newly diagnosed B-NHL are eligible. Low-risk patients receive two courses of R-COM1P (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, methotrexate, prednisolone and intrathecal methotrexate with hydrocortisone), and intermediate-risk patients receive COP (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisolone and intrathecal methotrexate with hydrocortisone) followed by two courses each of R-COM3P and R-CYM (rituximab, cytarabine, methotrexate and intrathecal methotrexate with hydrocortisone). The primary endpoint is a 3-year event-free survival rate in paediatric patients (<18 years) with intermediate-risk disease. 100 patients (10 low-risk and 90 intermediate-risk) will enrol within a 4-year enrolment period and the follow-up period will be 3 years. 108 institutions are participating as of 1 January 2024 (64 university hospitals, 29 general hospitals, 12 children's hospitals and three cancer centres). ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This research was approved by the Certified Review Board at NHO Nagoya Medical Center (Nagoya, Japan) on 21 September 2021. Written informed consent is obtained from all patients and/or their guardians. The results of this study will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.

Abstract
Dedicator of cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of immunity (IEI) characterized by eczematous dermatitis, elevated serum IgE, and recurrent infections, comprising a seemingly hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES). DOCK8 deficiency is only curable with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), but the outcome of HCT from alternative donors is not fully understood. Here, we describe the cases of two Japanese patients with DOCK8 deficiency who were successfully treated by allogeneic HCT from alternative donors. Patient 1 underwent cord blood transplantation at the age of 16 years, and Patient 2 underwent haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide at the age of 22 years. Each patient received a fludarabine-based conditioning regimen. Their clinical manifestations, including refractory molluscum contagiosum, promptly improved post-HCT. They achieved successful engraftment and immune reconstitution without serious complications. Alternative donor sources such as cord blood and haploidentical donors can be options for allogeneic HCT for DOCK8 deficiency.

Abstract
Patients with acute megakaryoblastic leukaemia of Down syndrome (DS-AMKL) have an excellent survival rate; however, patients with non-DS-AMKL experience poor outcomes. Therefore, this study retrospectively analysed 203 children with non-DS-AMKL who underwent their first haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from 1986 to 2015 using a nationwide Japanese HCT registry data to assess HCT outcomes for non-DS-AMKL. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rates were 43% and 38% respectively. The 5-year OS rate was significantly higher for patients who underwent HCT in the first complete remission (CR1, 72%) than for those in the second CR (CR2, 23%) and non-CR (16%) (p < 0.001), and for those from a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched (52%) than for those from an HLA-mismatched donor (27%) (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis for OS revealed that HCT in CR2 and non-CR was a significant risk factor (hazard ratio, 5.86; 95% confidence interval, 3.56-9.53; p < 0.001). The 3-year EFS in patients who received HCT in CR1 using reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC, 35%) was significantly lower than in those using myeloablative conditioning (busulfan-based, 71%; total body irradiation-based, 58%) (p < 0.001). Risk stratification in patients with non-DS-AMKL should be established to determine HCT indication in CR1.

Abstract
The KamLAND-Zen experiment has provided stringent constraints on the neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay half-life in ^{136}Xe using a xenon-loaded liquid scintillator. We report an improved search using an upgraded detector with almost double the amount of xenon and an ultralow radioactivity container, corresponding to an exposure of 970 kg yr of ^{136}Xe. These new data provide valuable insight into backgrounds, especially from cosmic muon spallation of xenon, and have required the use of novel background rejection techniques. We obtain a lower limit for the 0νββ decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0ν}>2.3×10^{26} yr at 90% C.L., corresponding to upper limits on the effective Majorana neutrino mass of 36-156 meV using commonly adopted nuclear matrix element calculations.

Abstract
Paucity of interlobular bile ducts (PILBD) is a heterogeneous disorder classified into two categories, syndromic and non-syndromic bile duct paucity. Syndromic PILBD is characterized by the presence of clinical manifestations of Alagille syndrome. Non-syndromic PILBD is caused by multiple diseases, such as metabolic and genetic disorders, infectious diseases, and inflammatory and immune disorders. We evaluated a family with a dominantly inherited PILBD, who presented with cholestasis at 1-2 months of age but spontaneously improved by 1 year of age. Next-generation sequencing analysis revealed a heterozygous CACYBP/SIP p.E177Q pathogenic variant. Calcyclin-binding protein and Siah1 interacting protein (CACYBP/SIP) form a ubiquitin ligase complex and induce proteasomal degradation of non-phosphorylated β-catenin. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a slight decrease in CACYBP and β-catenin levels in the liver of patients in early infancy, which almost normalized by 13 months of age. The CACYBP/SIP p.E177Q pathogenic variant may form a more active or stable ubiquitin ligase complex that enhances the degradation of β-catenin and delays the maturation of intrahepatic bile ducts. Our findings indicate that accurate regulation of the β-catenin concentration is essential for the development of intrahepatic bile ducts and CACYBP/SIP pathogenic variant is a novel cause of PILDB.

Abstract
Sensory prediction is considered an important element of mismatch negativity (MMN) whose reduction is well known in patients with schizophrenia. Omission MMN is a variant of the MMN which is elicited by the absence of a tone previously sequentially presented. Omission MMN can eliminate the effects of sound differences in typical oddball paradigms and affords the opportunity to identify prediction-related signals in the brain. Auditory predictions are thought to reflect bottom-up and top-down processing within hierarchically organized auditory areas. However, the communications between the various subregions of the auditory cortex and the prefrontal cortex that generate and communicate sensory prediction-related signals remain poorly understood. To explore how the frontal and temporal cortices communicate for the generation and propagation of such signals, we investigated the response in the omission paradigm using electrocorticogram (ECoG) electrodes implanted in the temporal, lateral prefrontal, and orbitofrontal cortices of macaque monkeys. We recorded ECoG data from three monkeys during the omission paradigm and examined the functional connectivity between the temporal and frontal cortices by calculating phase-locking values (PLVs). This revealed that theta- (4-8 Hz), alpha- (8-12 Hz), and low-beta- (12-25 Hz) band synchronization increased at tone onset between the higher auditory cortex and the frontal pole where an early omission response was observed in the event-related potential (ERP). These synchronizations were absent when the tone was omitted. Conversely, low-beta-band (12-25 Hz) oscillation then became stronger for tone omission than for tone presentation approximately 200 ms after tone onset. The results suggest that auditory input is propagated to the frontal pole via the higher auditory cortex and that a reciprocal network may be involved in the generation of auditory prediction and prediction error. As impairments of prediction may underlie MMN reduction in patients with schizophrenia, an aberrant hierarchical temporal-frontal network might be related to this pathological condition.

Abstract
The arachidonic acid (AA) cascade plays a significant role in platelet aggregation. AA released from membrane phospholipids is metabolized by cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway to thromboxane A2 (TXA2) or by 12S-lipoxygenase (ALOX12) to 12-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HPETE). In contrast to a well-known role of the COX pathway in platelet aggregation, the role of ALOX12 is not well understood. Platelets of ALOX12-deficient mice exhibit increased sensitivity for ADP-induced aggregation. However, recent evidence strongly suggests a significant role of ALOX12 in platelet aggregation and calcium signaling. 12-HPETE potentiates thrombin- and thromboxane-induced platelet aggregation, and calcium signaling. Inhibition experiments of ALOX12 demonstrated decreased platelet aggregation and calcium signaling in stimulated platelets. We studied a family with a dominantly inherited bleeding diathesis using next-generation sequencing analysis. Platelet aggregation studies revealed that the proband's platelets had defective aggregation responses to ADP, TXA2 mimetic U46619, collagen, and AA, normal affinity of TXA2 receptor for U46619, and normal induction of GTPase activity upon stimulation with U46619. However, the production of inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) was only increased up to 30% of the control upon U46619 stimulation, suggesting a defect in phospholipase C-β2 (PLCB2) activation downstream from TXA2 receptors. Affected family members had no mutation of PLCB2, but had a heterozygous c.1946A > G (p.Tyr649Cys) mutation of ALOX12. ALOX12 activity in platelets from the affected members was decreased to 25-35% of the control. Our data strongly suggested that a heterozygous c.1946A > G ALOX12 mutation was a disease-causing mutation; however, further experiments are required to confirm the pathogenesis of ALOX12 mutation in platelet aggregation.

Abstract
The surface magnetism of Fe(001) was studied in an atomic layer-by-layer fashion by using the in situ iron-57 probe layer method with a synchrotron Mössbauer source. The observed internal hyperfine field H_{int} exhibits a marked decrease at the surface and an oscillatory behavior with increasing depth in the individual upper four layers below the surface. The calculated layer-depth dependencies of the effective hyperfine field |H_{eff}|, isomer shift δ, and quadrupole shift 2ϵ agree well with the observed experimental parameters. These results provide the first experimental evidence for the magnetic Friedel oscillations, which penetrate several layers from the Fe(001) surface.

Abstract
Background Philadelphia-negative (Ph-negative) myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), including polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF), are exceptionally rare during childhood. Thus, clinical features of pediatric Ph-negative MPNs remain largely unknown. This study was therefore performed to address this. Methods We performed a retrospective study to collect clinical information of children diagnosed with Ph-negative MPNs from 2000 to 2016 using questionnaires in qualified institutions in Japan. The results obtained from the questionnaire survey were then combined with those from the national registry data. Results Among 50 children identified, five had PV, 44 had ET, and one had PMF. Median age at diagnosis was 14.0, 9.0, and 0 years, respectively. Male to female ratio was 4:1, 21:23, and 1:0, respectively. Detection rates of the JAK2 V617F variant were 0/5 in PV and 9/39 in ET. Frequencies of complications, such as thrombosis and subsequent leukemia, were lower than complication frequencies in adults. We identified two children who developed subsequent leukemia, which has not been reported previously, and one of them died. Conclusion This is the first nationally representative survey of pediatric Ph-negative MPNs. Given its rarity, an international collaboration with comprehensive genetic analyses might be needed to fully elucidate the clinical and genetic features.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) have a poor prognosis. The efficacy of allogeneic blood stem cell transplantation for treatment of this disease remains unclear in terms of transplantation-related toxicity. Acute and chronic graft-versus-host diseases (GVHD) are both harmful to patients after allogeneic transplantation, but may have some positive effects through a substitute graft-versus-lymphoma effect. METHODS To investigate the effect of GVHD on the survival of patients with refractory LBL, we retrospectively studied the outcomes of 213 patients with LBL who underwent first allogeneic stem cell transplantation before the age of 18 years, between 1990 and 2015 in Japan. RESULTS The five-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival rates after stem cell transplantation were 50.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 43.2-56.9) and 47.8% (95% CI, 40.8-54.4), respectively. In univariate landmark analyses, the probability of OS was significantly better in patients with aGVHD than in those without (P = 0.002, five-year OS 58.1% vs 39.0%). The probability of OS was also better in patients with cGVHD than in those without (P = 0.036, five-year OS 72.2% vs 54.7%). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that only aGVHD was associated with better OS (hazard ratio, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.42-0.94, P = 0.024). Progression and recurrence statuses at SCT were associated with poor prognosis. The patients with grade II aGVHD showed the best prognosis (five-year OS: 65.6%). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the occurrence of aGVHD may be associated with better outcomes in patients with relapsed/refractory LBL who undergo allogeneic transplantation.

Abstract
No standard treatment for relapsed or refractory anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) has been established. This study is a multicenter, open-label trial to examine the effectiveness and safety of transplantation with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) for patients under 20 years old with relapsed or refractory ALCL. We defined RIC as the administration of fludarabine (30 mg/m2/day) for five days plus melphalan (70 mg/m2/day) for two days and total body irradiation at 4 Gy, followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
We report a retrospective analysis of 38 patients (age ≤ 30 years) who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) for relapsed or refractory anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL). Median follow-up for survivors after undergoing allo-SCT was 72 months (range, 35-96 months). Eight patients received reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens, including three patients with fludarabine plus melphalan-based regimens and five patients with fludarabine plus busulfan-based regimens. The remaining 30 patients received myeloablative conditioning (MAC) regimens. Median ages in the RIC and MAC groups were 24 and 15 years, respectively. The 5-year overall survival rates in the RIC and MAC groups were 100% and 49%, respectively (P = 0.018). The 5-year event-free survival rates in the RIC and MAC groups were 88% and 43%, respectively (P = 0.039). In the RIC group, four of the eight patients showed residual disease at allo-SCT, but all eight patients survived with complete remission (CR), including one patient with relapse. This result suggests that allo-SCT using the RIC regimen may be effective for relapsed or refractory ALCL in children, adolescents, and young adults, even in non-CR cases.

Abstract
Conditioning regimens for stem cell transplantation (SCT) involving total body irradiation (TBI) are generally preferred over busulfan (BU)-based ones for lymphoid malignancies. However, reports of favorable results using BU against lymphomas have recently emerged. This study sought to compare the effectiveness of BU and TBI regimens for SCT against lymphomas. We retrospectively analyzed 893 lymphoma patients who underwent primary SCT in Japan between 1980 and 2015. The median age of all patients was 18 years (range, 0-30 years) with 589 males, 303 females, and 1 patient whose sex was unknown. Overall survival (OS) was not different between those receiving BU and TBI (P = 0.672). OS in patients receiving autologous SCT was significantly better with BU over TBI regimens (P = 0.038), particularly in children (0-15 years) (P = 0.024). Conversely, OS in adolescents and young adults (AYAs; 16-30 years) receiving allogeneic SCT was significantly worse with BU over TBI regimens (P = 0.035). Overall, BU regiments had comparable effectiveness to TBI conditioning regimens, and, although less effective for AYAs with allogeneic SCT, were particularly more effective than TBI regimens for children who received autologous SCT.

Abstract
We present a precision analysis of the ^{136}Xe two-neutrino ββ electron spectrum above 0.8 MeV, based on high-statistics data obtained with the KamLAND-Zen experiment. An improved formalism for the two-neutrino ββ rate allows us to measure the ratio of the leading and subleading 2νββ nuclear matrix elements (NMEs), ξ_{31}^{2ν}=-0.26_{-0.25}^{+0.31}. Theoretical predictions from the nuclear shell model and the majority of the quasiparticle random-phase approximation (QRPA) calculations are consistent with the experimental limit. However, part of the ξ_{31}^{2ν} range allowed by the QRPA is excluded by the present measurement at the 90% confidence level. Our analysis reveals that predicted ξ_{31}^{2ν} values are sensitive to the quenching of NMEs and the competing contributions from low- and high-energy states in the intermediate nucleus. Because these aspects are also at play in neutrinoless ββ decay, ξ_{31}^{2ν} provides new insights toward reliable neutrinoless ββ NMEs.

Abstract
Citrin deficiency causes neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis (NICCD), failure to thrive and dyslipidemia (FTTDCD), and adult-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2). Owing to a defect in the NADH-shuttle, citrin deficiency impairs hepatic glycolysis and de novo lipogenesis leading to hepatic energy deficit. To investigate the physiological role of citrin, we studied the growth of 111 NICCD-affected subjects (51 males and 60 females) and 12 NICCD-unaffected subjects (five males and seven females), including the body weight, height, and genotype. We constructed growth charts using the lambda-mu-sigma (LMS) method. The NICCD-affected subjects showed statistically significant growth impairment, including low birth weight and length, low body weight until 6 to 9 months of age, low height until 11 to 13 years of age, and low body weight in 7 to 12-year-old males and 8-year-old females. NICCD-unaffected subjects showed similar growth impairment, including low birth weight and height, and growth impairment during adolescence. In the third trimester, de novo lipogenesis is required for deposition of body fat and myelination of the developing central nervous system, and its impairment likely causes low birth weight and length. The growth rate is the highest during the first 6 months of life and slows down after 6 months of age, which is probably associated with the onset and recovery of NICCD. Adolescence is the second catch-up growth period, and the proportion and distribution of body fat change depending on age and sex. Characteristic growth impairment in citrin deficiency suggests a significant role of citrin in the catch-up growth via lipogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is caused by mutation of paird-like homeobox 2B (PHOX2B). Approximately 90% of patients were found to carry polyalanine repeat expansion mutation (PARM), and the remaining 10% had non-PARM (NPARM). In PARM, the length of the polyalanine expansion correlates with clinical disease severity. Most patients with NPARM have hypoventilation symptoms in the neonatal period and complications of Hirschsprung disease, dysregulation of autonomic nervous system, and tumors of neural crest origin. Data on the genotype-phenotype association may contribute to the clinical management of the disease. METHODS We studied the genetic background of Japanese CCHS patients according to PHOX2B sequencing. RESULTS Of 133 Japanese CCHS patients we identified 12 patients carrying 11 different NPARM (approx. 9% of the patients) and described the clinical manifestations in seven of them with the following novel mutations: c.941-945del5, c.678_693dup16, c.609_616del8, c.620_633del14, c.663_711del 49, c.448C>G and c.944G>C. All patients had hypoventilation in the neonatal period and also had Hirschsprung disease, with the exception of two patients carrying c.620_633del14 and c.663_711del49 mutations. The patient carrying the c.609_616del8 mutation also had a benign mediastinal tumor. CONCLUSION Most patients carrying NPARM had severe symptoms with frequent complications, as in previous reports, and should be carefully monitored for various complications, including neural crest-derived tumor.

Abstract
We undertook a retrospective study using the national registry data of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in Japan to investigate the effect of graft source, particularly autologous or allogeneic tissue, on the treatment outcome in patients aged less than 18 years with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Survival analysis was conducted on 31 autologous HSCT (auto-HSCT) and 48 allogeneic HSCT (allo-HSCT) recipients between 1990 and 2013. The 5-year survival rates were significantly lower for allo-HSCT compared to auto-HSCT recipients (32% vs. 55%; P = 0.036). Multivariate analysis of survival rates identified allogeneic graft, Burkitt histology, and lack of response to chemotherapy as poor prognostic factors for survival. The cumulative incidence of treatment-related mortality (TRM) was significantly higher in allo-HSCT compared to auto-HSCT recipients (P = 0.017), explaining the difference in survival rates. In patients with Burkitt lymphoma (BL), overall survival was significantly inferior in the group of patients undergoing HSCT within 12 months from the initial diagnosis (P = 0.039). These data indicate that treatment outcomes for HSCT in children and adolescents with B-NHL were better in autograft recipients, suggesting that greater attention should be paid to the risk of TRM, especially after allografts, for patients with BL.

Abstract
Citrin, encoded by SLC25A13, constitutes the malate-aspartate shuttle, the main NADH-shuttle in the liver. Citrin deficiency causes neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis (NICCD) and adult-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2). Citrin deficiency is predicted to impair hepatic glycolysis and de novo lipogenesis, resulting in hepatic energy deficit. Secondary decrease in hepatic argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS1) expression has been considered a cause of hyperammonemia in CTLN2. We previously reported that medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) supplement therapy with a low-carbohydrate formula was effective in CTLN2 to prevent a relapse of hyperammonemic encephalopathy. We present the therapy for six CTLN2 patients. All the patients' general condition steadily improved and five patients with hyperammonemic encephalopathy recovered from unconsciousness in a few days. Before the treatment, plasma glutamine levels did not increase over the normal range and rather decreased to lower than the normal range in some patients. The treatment promptly decreased the blood ammonia level, which was accompanied by a decrease in plasma citrulline levels and an increase in plasma glutamine levels. These findings indicated that hyperammonemia was not only caused by the impairment of ureagenesis at ASS1 step, but was also associated with an impairment of glutamine synthetase (GS) ammonia-detoxification system in the hepatocytes. There was no decrease in the GS expressing hepatocytes. MCT supplement with a low-carbohydrate formula can supply the energy and/or substrates for ASS1 and GS, and enhance ammonia detoxification in hepatocytes. Histological improvement in the hepatic steatosis and ASS1-expression was also observed in a patient after long-term treatment.

Abstract
This trial enrolls patients with untreated Hodgkin's lymphoma aged<20 years at diagnosis and examines the effects of omitting radiation therapy if the FDG-positron emission tomography (PET) findings after two completed cycles of combination chemotherapy are negative. It thereby aims to determine whether patients who truly require radiation therapy can be identified by FDG-PET. If so, this modality could be used to omit radiation therapy for all other patients, decreasing the risk of serious long-term complications without affecting survival rates. The outcomes of patients for whom FDG-PET is used to assess early treatment response will also be determined.

Abstract
SummaryWe describe an 11-year-old girl with a mild bleeding disorder since early childhood. The disorder was characterized by a prolonged bleeding time, and the patient’s platelets showed defective aggregation responses to thromboxane A2 (TXA2) mimetic U46619 and arachidonic acid. In contrast, the platelets showed normal responses to thrombin and Ca ionophore A23187. When the platelet TXA2 receptor was examined with the [3H]-labeled TXA2 agonist U46619, the equilibrium dissociation rate constants (kd) and the maximal concentration of binding sites (Bmax) of the patient's platelets were within normal ranges. Normal GTPase activity was also induced in the patient's platelets by stimulation with U46619, however, inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3) formation was not induced by U46619. These results suggested that the patient’s platelets had a defect in phospholipase C activation beyond TXA2 receptors.

Abstract
Dexamethasone-induced Ras-related protein 1 (Rasd1) is a member of the Ras superfamily of monomeric G proteins that have a regulatory function in signal transduction. Here we investigated the role of Rasd1 in regulating estrogen-induced gene expression in primary cultures of rat anterior pituitary cells. Rasd1 mRNA expression in anterior pituitary cells decreased after treatment with forskolin or serum and increased after treatment with 17β-estradiol (E2). Increases in Rasd1 mRNA expression occurred as early as 0.5 h after E2 treatment, peaked at 1 h and were sustained for as long as 96 h. This rapid and profound increase in Rasd1 mRNA expression induced by E2 was also seen in GH4C1 cells, an estrogen receptor-positive somatolactotroph cell line. Among pituitary estrogen-responsive late genes studied, basal mRNA expression of Pim3 and Igf1 genes was decreased by RNA interference-mediated knockdown of Rasd1 expression, whereas basal expression of the Giot1 gene was increased. Moreover, Rasd1 knockdown enhanced stimulation of Pim3 mRNA expression and attenuated inhibition of Fosl1 mRNA expression 24 h after E2 treatment. These changes in mRNA expression were accompanied by enhanced activity of promoters containing CRE, AP-1 and SRE binding sequences. These results suggest that Rasd1 is an estrogen-responsive immediate early gene and modulates E2 induction of at least several late genes in anterior pituitary cells.

Abstract
Both treatment and prognosis of pediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) have improved dramatically in the last 30 years. Currently, localized or limited-stage NHL (stage I to II) has an approximately 95%-100% 5-year event-free survival (EFS) rate. Furthermore, the prognosis for children with advanced-stage disease (stage III to IV) has doubled from approximately 40% 5-year EFS 30 years ago to more than 80%. Hodgkin lymphoma is also known to have around 80% 10-year EFS rate. These were accomplished not only by the advancement of chemotherapy drugs but also with the global development of organizational frameworks for pediatric clinical study. The Japanese Pediatric Leukemia Lymphoma Study Group is one of such frameworks that was organized in 2003, and it has been playing a great role in Japan ever since. In this study, I described some of the main steps of clinical studies for pediatric lymphoma according to each histologic entity. In the future, however, an effective treatment for refractory or recurrent diseases should be developed. In addition, a precise validation for low-risk patients who need reduced chemotherapy should be performed. Further clarifications on the conditions of patients with rare type lymphoma and an establishment of a standard therapy for them through a collaborative study on a global scale are needed.

Abstract
Follicular lymphoma (FL) is quite rare in children. There have been only two major reports on pediatric FL. The present retrospective study on pediatric FL in Japan, including FL with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), analyzed data from 1991 to 2014. Twenty-two patients with pediatric FL were analyzed. Sixteen patients were boys and six were girls. Median age of onset was 9 years (range 4-17 years). In 11 patients, DLBCL co-existed with FL. The initial lesions involved cervical lesions in 16 patients, and the abdomen in six. With regard to stage of disease at diagnosis, 17 patients were at stage I or II, four were at stage III, and one was at stage IV. Chemotherapy was administered in 18 patients, and only resection was performed in four patients. Mature B lymphoma regimens were selected for 17 patients who received chemotherapy. Although two patients relapsed, all patients are currently alive and disease free. The median follow-up period was 54.5 months (range 6-126 months). Patients having FL with DLBCL were younger compared with those having FL, and this disease was more frequently observed in female patients. Our data revealed that FL in Japanese children is a tumor with good prognosis, as in reports from the United States and Europe.

Abstract
Estrogen binds to nuclear estrogen receptors (ERs) to modulate transcription of target genes in estrogen-responsive cells. However, recent studies have shown that estrogen also binds to cytoplasmic membrane ERs to modulate protein kinase signaling cascades, leading to non-genomic actions. We investigated whether either nuclear or membrane ERs, including G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1 (Gper1), mediate the inhibitory action of estrogen on insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1)-induced proliferation of pituitary lactotrophs in primary culture. The cytoplasmic membrane-impermeable bovine serum albumin-conjugated estradiol (BSA-E2) at 1 nM, an equimolar concentration at which 17β-estradiol (E2) exerts anti-proliferative effects, did not inhibit IGF-1-induced lactotroph proliferation. In contrast, diethylstilbestrol, which is known to selectively activate nuclear ERs but not membrane ERs, inhibited IGF-1-induced proliferation and modulated mRNA expression of estrogen-responsive genes to a similar degree as E2. Activation of Gper1 by its agonist G-1 inhibited IGF-1-induced proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, but it had little effect on modulation of mRNA expression of estrogen-responsive genes. However, blockade of Gper1 by its antagonist G-15 did not affect the inhibitory action of E2 on IGF-1-induced proliferation. Here, we demonstrate that E2 inhibition of lactotroph proliferation is due to nuclear ER-mediated genomic action. Our results suggest that activation of Gper1 mimics, but does not mediate, the anti-proliferative action of E2 on lactotrophs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We investigated whether the age of donor kidneys influences the incidence of nocturnal polyuria in patients with successful renal transplantation (RTX). METHODS Eighty-five patients (45 men and 40 women) undergoing RTX (median age, 47 years) were included in this study. Twenty-four-hour bladder diaries were kept for 3 days, and nocturnal polyuria was defined as a nocturnal polyuria index (nocturnal urine volume/24-hour urine volume) of >0.33. Risk factors for nocturnal polyuria were analyzed in patients with RTX by means of the Mann-Whitney U test, χ2 test, and a logistic regression analysis. RESULTS End-stage renal disease (ESRD) developed from diabetes mellitus in 16 patients (19%). Sixty-five patients (76%) received pre-transplant dialysis, with a median duration of 5 years. The median serum creatinine level and body mass index at the most recent visit were 1.2 mg/dL and 21.2 kg/m2, respectively. On the basis of the 24-hour bladder diaries, nocturnal polyuria was identified in 48 patients (56%). A logistic regression analysis revealed that diabetes mellitus as the original disease for ESRD was the only risk factor for nocturnal polyuria (odds ratio, 8.95; 95% confidence interval, 2.01-65.3; P = .0028). The age of donor kidneys at examination did not affect the incidence of nocturnal polyuria (P = .9402). CONCLUSIONS Nocturnal polyuria was not uncommon in patients with successful RTX. Diabetes mellitus as the original disease for ESRD was the only risk factor for nocturnal polyuria, whereas the age of donor kidneys at examination did not affect the incidence of nocturnal polyuria. Thus, nocturnal polyuria is caused by recipient factors but not donor factors.

Abstract
Several studies of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia who received stem cell transplantation (SCT) have reported that adolescents and young adults (AYAs) experience higher transplant-related mortality than that in younger children. However, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of a similar comparison of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients who received SCT. We analyzed 918 patients aged 30 years and younger who received their first stem cell transplantation for NHL. Of the allogeneic transplant patients, children and AYAs did not significantly differ in survival rate, event-free survival rate, relapse rate, or transplant-related mortality. However, 5-year transplant-related mortality after autologous transplantation was significantly higher in children than in AYAs (5.1% in children vs. 0.8% in AYAs, P = 0.0043). The cause of transplant-related death in three of four children was interstitial pneumonitis. In NHL patients, transplantation results in AYAs were not inferior than those in children.

Abstract
We present an improved search for neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay of ^{136}Xe in the KamLAND-Zen experiment. Owing to purification of the xenon-loaded liquid scintillator, we achieved a significant reduction of the ^{110m}Ag contaminant identified in previous searches. Combining the results from the first and second phase, we obtain a lower limit for the 0νββ decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0ν}>1.07×10^{26} yr at 90% C.L., an almost sixfold improvement over previous limits. Using commonly adopted nuclear matrix element calculations, the corresponding upper limits on the effective Majorana neutrino mass are in the range 61-165 meV. For the most optimistic nuclear matrix elements, this limit reaches the bottom of the quasidegenerate neutrino mass region.

Abstract
Objectives. To determine the effects of neurotrophin-secreting transplants combined with exercise and serotonergic drug challenges on recovery of hindlimb function in rats with midthoracic spinal cord transection injuries. Methods. Spinalized animals received transplants of fibroblasts genetically modified to express brain-derived neurotrophic factor and neurotrophin-3 and daily cycling exercise. Hindlimb movement in an open-field test (BBB) was scored weekly. Serotonin agonists were used monthly to further stimulate motor function. Axonal growth was quantified in the transplant and at L5 using immunocytochemical markers. Weights of hindlimb muscles were used to assess muscle atrophy. Results. Neurotrophin-secreting transplants stimulated axonal growth, and cycling prevented muscle atrophy, but individual treatments did not improve motor scores. Combined treatments resulted in improvements in motor function. Serotonergic agonists further improved function in all groups, and transplant groups with exercise achieved weight-supporting levels following drug treatment. Conclusion. Combined treatments, but not individual treatments, improved hindlimb function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood advanced lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) has a favorable outcome with an event-free survival (EFS) rate of over 80% in response to treatment strategies for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, no progress has been made in this outcome over the past 10 years. PROCEDURE We conducted the first nationwide prospective study of childhood advanced LBL to assess the efficacy and safety of ALL-directed therapy with an intensified maintenance phase. We omitted local radiotherapy including prophylactic cranial radiotherapy except for patients with initial central nervous system disease. The total duration of the treatment was 24 months. RESULTS For the 136 patients analyzed in this study, 5-year overall survival (OS) was 82.9% and 5-year EFS was 77.9%. Thirty events were observed and 14 occurred before the initiation of intensified maintenance phase. Of 14 events, nine were observed as mediastinal enlargement. There was no significant difference in outcome when stratified according to gender or by immunophenotype. The 5-year EFS according to clinical stage in patients with T-cell LBL (T-LBL) was 70.6% for stage III and 88.9% for stage IV (P = 0.037). CONCLUSIONS Our first nationwide study provided about 80% cure rate with only one case of toxic death in childhood advanced LBL. However, our intensified maintenance therapy could not improve the survival outcome. There was a trend of better EFS in Japanese patients with T-LBL stage IV than T-LBL stage III.

Abstract
The clinical outcome of allogeneic HSCT was retrospectively analyzed in eight patients with CHS. In total, six of these eight patients are alive. Four of five patients transplanted with MAC achieved prompt engraftment, and three of the four patients, including two patients with AP before transplant, are alive without disease. In contrast, three patients transplanted with RIC without active AP disease achieved prompt engraftment and survive long term. RIC-HSCT might be an alternative treatment for CHS similar to other types of HLH, at least for patients without active AP disease.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the primary prophylaxis of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in the management of childhood B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Patients with advanced-stage mature B-NHL were randomized to receive prophylactic G-CSF (G-CSF+) or not receive G-CSF (G-CSF-) based on protocols of the B-NHL03 study. The G-CSF group received 5 μg/kg/d Lenograstim from day 2 after each course of six chemotherapy courses. Fifty-eight patients were assessable, 29 G-CSF + and 29 G-CSF-. G-CSF + patients showed a positive impact on the meantime to neutrophil recovery and hospital stay. On the other hand, they had no impact in the incidences of febrile neutropenia, serious infections, stomatitis and total cost. Our study showed that administration of prophylactic G-CSF through all six chemotherapy courses for childhood B-NHL showed no clinical and economic benefits for the management of childhood B-NHL treatment.

Abstract
Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) represents glomerular disease resulting from a number of different etiologies leading to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Recently, many genes causing SRNS/FSGS have been identified. These genes encode the proteins associated with the formation and/or maintenance of glomerular filtration barrier. Next-generation sequencing is used to analyze large numbers of genes at lower costs. To identify the genetic background of Japanese patients, we studied 26 disease-causing genes using whole-exome sequencing analysis in 24 patients with SRNS and/or FSGS from 22 different Japanese families. We finally found eight causative gene mutations, four recessive and four dominant gene mutations, including three novel mutations, in six patients from five different families, and one novel predisposing mutation in two patients from two different families. Causative gene mutations have only been identified in ~20% of families and further analysis is necessary to identify the unknown disease-causing gene. Identification of the disease-causing gene would support clinical practices, including the diagnosis, understanding of pathogenesis and treatment.

Abstract
Long-term urodynamic and urological outcomes were evaluated in pediatric patients following traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). The medical charts of three pediatric patients following traumatic SCI were retrospectively reviewed. The level of the injury was cervical in two patients and thoracic in one. Two patients, whose initial urodynamics demonstrated voluntary or reflex detrusor contraction with synergic sphincter relaxation, managed to void; however, urinary management was switched in one of these patients from voiding to clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) with anti-cholinergic agents because of a treatment for urinary incontinence. There were also no episodes of hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) or renal dysfunction in these two patients. Although one patient with hyperreflexic bladder was initially managed with CIC and anti-cholinergic agents, detrusor myectomy was ultimately performed because of severe VUR associated with the progressive worsening of lower urinary tract (LUT) function. Careful follow-ups including urodynamics are mandatory for children with progressively deteriorated LUT function or problematic urinary incontinence.

Abstract
Results of pediatric lymphoma treatment have improved markedly over the past 30 years. In Hodgkin's lymphoma, the 5 year event-free survival (EFS) was 81.5% in a retrospective study. In the ALB-NHL03 study, the 5 year EFS according to clinical stage in patients with lymphoblastic T-cell lymphoma (T-LBL) was 70.6% for stage III and 88.9% for stage IV. In mature B-cell lymphoma, the B-NHL03 study indicated that the 4 year EFS according to treatment group was 94% for group 1, 98% for group 2, 84% for group 3, and 78% for group 4. Moreover, the 2 year EFS rate was 81% in Japanese advanced stage patients based on the international ALCL99 study. Thus, EFS >80% was achieved in any subtype of pediatric lymphoma. With regard to refractory or recurrent lymphoma, however, treatment methods for improvement of the survival rate in these patients still need to be developed. Also the difference between child, and adolescent and young adult patients still needs to be clarified, and treatment protocols developed. Although lymphoma treatment does not greatly change according to country, it does differ between other countries and Japan for some subtypes of lymphoma. In particular, the results of treatment of stage III T-LBL in Japan are worse than those in the USA and Europe. The priority in future studies will be to collect data on these differences, and the reasons for these differences.

Abstract
Little information is available on cytogenetic abnormalities and their prognostic importance in childhood mature B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). We performed a review of 79 abnormal karyotypes in childhood B-NHL treated by a uniform protocol. Del(17p) was independently associated with significantly inferior event-free survival in Burkitt or Burkitt-like lymphoma. The adverse prognosis of MYC/8q24 rearrangement, +7q or del(13q), was not observed, which had been suggested as risk factors in FAB/LMB96. Our results imply the possible existence of a biological difference among ethnicities and should be useful to narrow down the gene causing poor prognosis in childhood B-NHL.
