Chemotherapy after nivolumab for advanced gastric cancer (REVIVE): a prospective observational study. ESMO Open 2023; 8:102071. [PMID: 38016249 PMCID: PMC10774960 DOI: 10.1016/j.esmoop.2023.102071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nivolumab therapy is a standard-of-care treatment for heavily pretreated patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Previous studies have reported improvement in the objective response rate to chemotherapy after nivolumab therapy for other types of cancer. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy after nivolumab therapy in AGC. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective, multicenter, observational study in pretreated patients with nivolumab-refractory or -intolerant AGC. Patients received irinotecan, oxaliplatin-containing regimens, or trifluridine/tipiracil. The primary endpoint was overall survival. RESULTS A total of 199 patients were included (median age: 69 years; male: 70%; female: 30%). Median overall survival and progression-free survival were 7.5 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 6.7-9.7 months] and 2.9 months (95% CI: 2.2-3.5 months), respectively. Objective response and disease control rates were 16.8% (95% CI: 11.6% to 23.6%) and 18.9% (95% CI: 38.9% to 54.6%), respectively. A prognostic index using alkaline phosphatase and the Glasgow Prognostic Score was generated to classify patients into three risk groups (good, moderate, and poor). The hazard ratios of the moderate and poor groups to the good group were 1.88 (95% CI: 1.22-2.92) and 3.29 (95% CI: 1.92-5.63), respectively. At the initiation of chemotherapy, 42 patients had experienced immune-related adverse events due to prior nivolumab therapy. The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were neutropenia (7.5%), anemia (8.0%), and anorexia (7.5%). CONCLUSIONS The administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy after nivolumab therapy may give rise to a synergistic antitumor effect in AGC. Further investigation is warranted to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Intravenous acetaminophen is an integral component of multimodal postoperative pain management. This prospective study aims to assess the efficacy of the repeated administration of intravenous acetaminophen and the impact on postoperative patient satisfaction with postoperative pain management after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We enrolled 98 patients scheduled for unilateral TKA. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either 1000 mg of intravenous acetaminophen at 6-hour intervals (AAP group) or not to receive intravenous acetaminophen (control group). All patients underwent single-shot femoral nerve block after general anesthesia, as well as intraoperative periarticular infiltration of analgesia prior to implantation. The primary outcome was the postoperative numerical rating scale (NRS) pain score at rest. The NRS score was measured just before the administration of study drugs, immediately after arrival in the ward (time 0), and at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 48 h (time 1 to time 5, respectively) postoperatively. We also evaluated the mean doses of rescue opioid use for 24 h postoperatively. At time 5, the AAP group had significantly improved mean NRS score than controls (3.0 vs. 4.0; P < 0.01). Rescue opioid use was significantly lower in the AAP group for 24 hours compared to controls (0.3 μg vs. 0.9 μg; P < 0.01). Repeated intravenous acetaminophen administration after TKA may provide better analgesia and reduce opioid use.

Impact of tumor growth rate during preceding treatment on tumor response to nivolumab or irinotecan in advanced gastric cancer. ESMO Open 2021; 6:100179. [PMID: 34119801 PMCID: PMC8209093 DOI: 10.1016/j.esmoop.2021.100179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/25/2021] [Revised: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Nivolumab (NIVO) and irinotecan (IRI) are standard treatments for refractory advanced gastric cancer (AGC); however, it is unclear which drug should be administered first or in which cases. The tumor growth rate (TGR) during preceding treatment is reported to be associated with tumor response in metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with regorafenib or trifluridine/tipiracil, suggesting that TGR may be useful for drug selection. Therefore, we evaluated the association between TGR during preceding treatment and the tumor response to NIVO or IRI. Patients and methods We retrospectively evaluated consecutive AGC patients treated with NIVO or IRI and divided them into slow-growing (Slow) and rapid-growing (Rapid) groups according to TGR and the presence or absence of new lesions (NL+/NL−, respectively) during preceding treatment (Slow group: NL− with low TGR <0.30%/day; Rapid group: NL+ or high TGR ≥0.30%/day). Results A total of 117 patients (Rapid/Slow groups, 72/45; NIVO/IRI groups, 32/85) were eligible. All baseline characteristics except peritoneal metastases were similar between patients treated with NIVO and IRI in the Rapid and Slow groups. The response rate was significantly higher in patients treated with NIVO compared with IRI [31%/3%; odds ratio (OR), 13.8; P = 0.01; adjusted OR, 52; P = 0.002] in the Slow group, but there was no difference between patients treated with NIVO and IRI (5%/8%; OR, 0.68; P = 0.73; adjusted OR, 0.94; P = 0.96) in the Rapid group. Disease control rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival were consistent with these results. Conclusions Our findings suggest that NIVO treatment is a more favorable option for patients with slow-growing tumors, and NIVO and IRI are similarly recommended for patients with rapid-growing tumors in refractory AGC. TGR and NL emergence during preceding treatment may be helpful for drug selection and warrant further investigation. NIVO and IRI are standard treatments for refractory AGC, although it is unclear which should be administered first. TGR may be useful for drug selection, therefore we evaluated the association between TGR and the tumor response to NIVO or IRI. In the Slow group, the response rate (RR) was significantly higher in patients treated with NIVO compared with IRI. In the Rapid group, there was no significant difference in RR between the NIVO and IRI groups. TGR and NL emergence during preceding treatment may be useful for drug selection.

Abstract
Domain-based local pair natural orbital (DLPNO) coupled cluster single and double (CCSD) with triple perturbation (T) correction methods were performed to elucidate the relative stabilities of ten different intermediate structures of the CaMn4Ox cluster in the S0 state of the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII). Full geometry optimizations of all the S0 intermediates were performed by the UB3LYP-D3/Def2-TZVP methods, providing the assumed geometrical structures and starting natural orbitals (UNO) for DLPNO-CCSD(T)/Def2TZVP calculations. The effective exchange integrals (J) for the spin Hamiltonian models for the ten intermediates were obtained by the UB3LYP/Def2-TZVP calculations followed by the general spin projections. DLPNO-CCSD(T) calculations followed by the CBS extrapolation procedure elucidated that the (II, III, IV, IV) and (III, III, III, IV) valence states in the CaMn4O5 cluster of the OEC of the PS II were nearly degenerated in energy in the S0 state, indicating an important role of dynamical electron correlation effects for the valence and spin fluctuations in strongly correlated electron systems (SCESs) consisting of 3d transition metals.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has been reported as an effective and safe treatment for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, its safety and efficacy in elderly patients remains unknown.
Purpose
We investigated the effect of BPA on hemodynamics and respiratory parameters, functional capacity, and short- and long-term outcome in elderly patients.
Methods
From November 2012 to May 2018, 141 consecutive CTEPH patients who underwent BPA in a single university hospital were enrolled (age: 65 [54.5–74] years old, WHO functional class [WHO-FC] II/III/IV; 35/96/10). Patients were divided into two groups according to the age; elderly (≥75 years, N=32) and young groups (<75 years, N=109). Hemodynamics (right-sided heart catheterization), biomarkers (brain natriuretic peptide), respiratory function (spirometry and diffusion capacity measurement), and functional capacity (6-minute walk distance [6MWD] and WHO-FC) were evaluated at baseline and 1-year post BPA. Procedure-related complications (in hospital death, use of percutaneous cardiopulmonary support [PCPS], and pulmonary injury) and all cause death during the follow up period were also assessed.
Results
At baseline, although elderly group had less severe hemodynamics (mPAP: 33.1±6.7 vs 39.0±11.8 mmHg, p<0.05), they had poor exercise capacity and reduced pulmonary diffusion capacity, compared with young group (6MWD: 264.6±101.3 vs 369.7±105.2 m, %DLco: 42.0±12.0 vs 50.2±12.7%, all p<0.05). BPA improved hemodynamics, biomarkers, exercise capacity, and pulmonary diffusion capacity in both elderly and young groups (all p<0.05). There was no in-hospital death or use of PCPS in both groups, although the incidence of pulmonary injury was higher in elderly group (14.3% vs 5.3%, p<0.01). Under the normalized hemodynamics 1-year after BPA in both groups, exercise capacity and pulmonary diffusion capacity were worse in the elderly group than young groups (p<0.01). The incidence of all-cause death in the follow up period was higher in elderly group, all of which were due to non-pulmonary hypertension (PH)-related death (p<0.01).
Conclusion
BPA was effective in improving hemodynamics and respiratory parameters and functional capacity, in associated with no critical complication, regardless of the age. Elderly patients who were treated with BPA were associated with higher incidence of non-PH-related death.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
There has been increasing evidence of the efficacy of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) in improving the hemodynamics, exercise capacity, and biomarkers of patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, there is no consensus on the adjustment of home oxygen therapy (HOT) and pulmonary hypertension (PH)-specific medications after BPA in patients with CTEPH.
Purpose
We aimed to examine the current status of the de-escalation/discontinuation of HOT and PH-specific medications post-BPA, and clarify its effect on subsequent hemodynamics, biomarkers, and long-term clinical outcomes.
Methods and results
From November 2012 to July 2019, 134 consecutive CTEPH patients who underwent BPA at a single university hospital were enrolled (age; 63.6±13.4 years, female; n=87 [64.9%], WHO functional class [WHO-FC] II/III/IV; 33/92/9). Hemodynamic data, functional capacity (6-minute walk distance and WHO-FC), biomarkers (brain natriuretic peptide [BNP] and high-sensitivity troponin T [hs-TropT]), and respiratory function were evaluated at baseline, immediately and 1 year post-BPA. Clinical outcomes (all-cause death and heart failure [HF] admission) were also assessed during the follow up period. The total number of sessions was 6.3±2.0, and the number of target vessels was 14.3±2.0. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure decreased from 37.8±11.2 to 20.4±5.1 mmHg 1-year after BPA (p<0.01). The proportion of patients who required HOT (at rest or on exertion) and combination medical therapy (≥2 PH-specific medications) decreased 1 year post-BPA (from 59.0% to 7.5%, and from 41.8% to 10.4%, respectively; Figure). Among 79 patients who required HOT during daytime, 64 patients (81.0%) discontinued HOT just after BPA completion. Among 56 patients who required combination medical therapy, 29 (51.8%) discontinued combination therapy. Baseline factors influencing the continuation of HOT and combination medical therapy post-BPA were almost identical (i.e. lower exercise capacity and pulmonary diffusion capacity, and worse hemodynamics). Results showed that discontinuation of HOT and combination medical therapy did not affect the maintenance of improved hemodynamics and levels of BNP and hs-TropT, and no adverse clinical outcomes (all-cause death and HF hospitalization) were observed during 1 year post-BPA.
Conclusions
Most CTEPH patients discontinued HOT and PH-specific combination medical therapy after BPA, which was not associated with the deterioration of hemodynamics, functional capacity, or biomarkers. No adverse long-term outcomes were observed. De-escalation/discontinuation of HOT and PH-specific combination medical therapy after BPA is feasible and safe for patients with CTEPH.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Radiation exposure during catheter ablation procedures is a risk for both the patient and electrophysiology staff. Recently, the feasibility and effectiveness of zero-fluoroscopy ablation have been shown. However, ensuring a safe sheath insertion through the venous system toward the heart is a concern in catheter ablation using the zero-fluoroscopy technique.
Purpose
The objective of this study was to confirm feasibility and safety for zero-fluoroscopy ablation using ultrasound-guided sheath insertion.
Methods
Zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation was performed in 220 patients (185 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), 26 patients with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and nine patients with ventricular arrhythmias (VA)) using a 3-dimensional electro-anatomical mapping system, contact force monitoring, and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) imaging. In all cases, ultrasound-guided sheath insertion was performed through the femoral vein. In 6 cases of VA, the retrograde approach through the femoral artery was performed with ICE imaging and contact-force monitoring. The endpoint of ablation for AF was pulmonary vein ablation in all cases and addition of left atrial posterior wall isolation in persistent AF cases. The endpoint of ablation for SVT and VA was noninducibility after ablation.
Results
The endpoints of ablation were achieved in all cases. The fluoroscopic time during ablation procedures was 0 seconds. There were two complications (one cardiac tamponade and one acute heart failure). There were no complications related to sheath insertion.
Conclusions
Zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation with ultrasound-guided sheath insertion may be feasible and can be performed safely. This method eliminates exposure radiation safely, which is a concern of zero-fluoroscopy endocardial catheter ablation.

Abstract
The Manitoba Centre for Health Policy’s Concept Dictionary and Glossary, and the Data Repository they document, broaden the analytic possibilities associated with administrative data. The aim of the Repository is to describe and explain patterns of health care and illness, while the Concept Dictionary and Glossary create consistency in documenting research methodologies. The Concept Dictionary alone contains detailed operational definitions and programming code for measures used in MCHP research that are reusable in future projects. Making these tools available on the internet allows reaching a heterogeneous audience of academic and government health service partners, epidemiologists, planners, programmers, clinicians, and students extending around the globe. They aid in the retention of corporate knowledge, facilitate researcher/analyst communication, and enhance the Centre’s knowledge translation activities. Such documentation has saved countless hours for programmers, analysts and researchers who frequently need to tread paths previously taken by others.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The values of n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) like low eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) /arachidonic acid (AA) ratio are known to be associated with cardiovascular events, however their relationship with coronary plaque vulnerability in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is not revealed.
Purpose
We evaluated the relationship between n-3 and n-6 PUFAs and coronary plaque vulnerability assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) in AMI patients.
Methods
We investigated 79 AMI lesions (51 ST elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) lesions and 28 non-STEMI lesions) that had undergone emergency percutaneous coronary intervention using OCT. Coronary plaque characteristics by OCT were compared with n-3 and n-6 PUFAs values which were measured on admission.
Results
Of all AMI lesions (n=79), 43 thin-cap fibroatheroma (TCFA) and 35 plaque rapture (PR) were detected by OCT. Lesions with TCFA had no significant relationship with n-3 and n-6 PUFAs values, whereas lesion with PR had significantly lower EPA values than those without (55.8±29.5 vs 74.3±37.1 μg/ml, p=0.018). Median low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol value was 117 (98–137) mg/dl and sub-analysis in patients who had lower LDL cholesterol values than median (n=39) revealed that EPA values were significantly lower in lesions with TCFA (56.3±30.9 vs 85.3±47.7 μg/ml, p=0.03). In STEMI patients, the values of EPA and EPA/AA ratio were significantly lower in lesions with TCFA (EPA: 55.5±22.8 vs 80.8±46.1 μg/ml, p=0.01; EPA/AA ratio: 0.34±0.16 vs 0.50±0.36, p=0.03). STEMI patients who had lower LDL cholesterol values <114 mg/dl of median (n=26), the values of EPA, EPA/AA ratio, and EPA+ docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) /AA ratio were significantly lower in lesions with TCFA (EPA: 51.4±20.7 vs 93.1±53.0 μg/ml, p=0.01; EPA/AA ratio: 0.37±0.16 vs 0.67±0.41, p=0.01; EPA+DHA/AA ratio: 1.13±0.41 vs 1.63±0.76, p=0.04). In STEMI patients with lower LDL cholesterol values, EPA/AA ratio positively correlated with fibrous cap thickness (Spearman, ρ=0.35, p=0.08). The cutoff value of EPA/AA ratio predicting the existence of TCFA was 0.52 (area under the curve 0.78, sensitivity 93.8%, specificity 70.0%, p=0.02).
Conclusion
This study demonstrated that n-3 and n-6 PUFAs values were associated with coronary plaque vulnerability by OCT in AMI patients, especially in STEMI. These results suggest that n-3 and n-6 PUFAs may be residual risk markers of severe acute cardiovascular events in patients with low LDL cholesterol values.

Abstract
Hemodynamic analysis of cerebral aneurysms is widely performed to understand the mechanism of aneurysmal rupture. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies have suggested that several hemodynamic parameters are associated with such ruptures. However, a number of factors remain to be addressed to correlate these parameters with aneurysmal ruptures, especially under analytical conditions. Specifically, CFD analysis is often performed with rigid wall models due to computational cost limitations. Here, to evaluate the effects of the deformation of the aneurysmal wall, experimental flow measurement with elastic models under pulsating conditions was conducted using three-dimensional particle image velocimetry (3D PIV). By analyzing 20 patient-specific, elastic, silicone aneurysm models, the hemodynamic parameters of ruptured and unruptured aneurysms were statistically compared to identify the variables that can effectively predict an aneurysmal rupture. Our analyses yielded three parameters (average wall shear stress ratio, in-phase deviation ratio, and pressure difference) which could effectively predict an aneurysmal rupture. These results suggested that measurement of wall shear stress (WSS) at both the aneurysm dome and parent artery is important and that pressure difference can also be a potential indicator of aneurysmal rupture.

Abstract
Bronchiolitis obliterans after lung transplantation is a major cause of postoperative mortality in which T cell-mediated immunity is known to play an important role. However, the exact contribution of natural killer (NK) cells, which have functions similar to CD8+ T cells, has not been defined. Here, we assessed the role of NK cells in murine bronchiolitis obliterans through heterotopic tracheal transplantations and found a greater percentage of NK cells in allografts than in isografts. Depletion of NK cells using an anti-NK1.1 antibody attenuated bronchiolitis obliterans in transplant recipients compared with controls. In terms of NK cell effector functions, an improvement in bronchiolitis obliterans was observed in perforin-KO recipient mice compared to wild type (WT). Furthermore, we found upregulation of NKG2D-ligand in allografts and demonstrated the significance of this using grafts expressing Rae-1, a murine NKG2D-ligand, which induced severe bronchiolitis obliterans in WT and Rag-1 KO recipients. This effect was ameliorated by injection of anti-NKG2D blocking antibody. Together, these results suggest that cytotoxicity resulting from activation of NK cells through NKG2D leads to the development of murine bronchiolitis obliterans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND IgE autoantibodies are considered to be involved in the pathogenesis of bullous pemphigoid (BP), particularly inflammatory and erythematous phenotypes. OBJECTIVES To develop reliable enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for the detection of IgE autoantibodies to both BP180 and BP230 in BP sera, and to compare the ELISA results with clinical features. METHODS We used commercially available IgG ELISAs to develop IgE ELISAs for both BP180 and BP230. To determine the influence of excess amounts of IgG autoantibodies, all normal and BP sera were tested before and after IgG adsorption. The results of the IgE ELISAs were statistically compared with various ELISAs and various clinical parameters, including our own severity scores and BP phenotypes. RESULTS IgG adsorption generally showed no changes in sensitivity and specificity for IgE ELISAs, although slight cross-reactivity of anti-IgE secondary antibody to IgG and interference of excess amounts of IgG autoantibodies to IgE reactivity were suggested. IgE autoantibodies to BP180 were found in 21 of 36 BP sera and IgE autoantibodies to BP230 were found in 18 of 36 BP sera. The results of IgG and IgE ELISAs for both BP180 and BP230 were well correlated. IgG and IgE anti-BP180 antibodies correlated with disease activity but IgG and IgE anti-BP230 autoantibodies did not. IgE anti-BP230 autoantibodies correlated with nodular phenotype but not erythematous phenotype. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study indicated that IgE autoantibodies to both BP180 and BP230 are frequently detected in BP sera. IgE anti-BP180 autoantibodies seemed to be pathogenic, while an association between IgE autoantibodies and inflammatory BP phenotype was not indicated.

Prolongation of somitogenesis in two anguilliform species, the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica and pike eel Muraenesox cinereus, with refined descriptions of their early development.

Abstract
The embryonic development of the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica and pike eel Muraenesox cinereus was morphologically investigated with laboratory-reared specimens to clarify the characteristics of somitogenesis. In A. japonica, somites were first observed at 18 h post fertilization (hpf) when epiboly reached 90%. Somitogenesis progressed at a rate of 1·6 h-1 at mean ± s.d. 22·6 ± 0·7° C and completed at 107 hpf (3 days post hatching; dph) when total number of somites (ST) reached 114, which corresponds to the species' number of vertebrae (112-119). In M. cinereus, somites were first observed at 14 hpf when epiboly completed. Somitogenesis progressed at a rate of 1·9 h-1 at mean ± s.d. 24·4 ± 0·2° C and completed at 90 hpf (2 dph) with 149 ± 4 ST, which corresponds to the species' number of vertebrae (142-158). Both species hatched before somitogenesis was completed, at 37 hpf with 47 ST and 42 hpf with 82 ± 4 ST, respectively. The formation of other organs such as the heart, mouth and pectoral fin bud occurred during somitogenesis. Comparison with the development of zebrafish Danio rerio indicates a prolongation of somitogenesis in A. japonica and M. cinereus. Their somitogenesis rates, however, correspond well with that of D. rerio estimated at the same temperature and their developmental stages at hatching are almost equivalent to other fishes having similar yolk sizes. Therefore, the prolongation of somitogenesis in A. japonica and M. cinereus may be accounted for solely by the increased numbers of somites to be formed, not by a slow somitogenesis rate or an acceleration in organogenesis.

Abstract
Hemodynamic analysis of cerebral aneurysms has been widely carried out to clarify the mechanisms of their growth and rupture. In several cases, patient-specific aneurysm models made of transparent polymers have been used. Even though periodic changes in aneurysms due to the pulsation of blood flow could be important, the deformation of the model geometry and its effect on hemodynamic evaluation has not been fully investigated. In addition, the fabrication accuracy of aneurysm models has not been evaluated even though it may affect the hemodynamic parameters to be analyzed. In this study, the fabrication accuracy of a silicone aneurysm model was investigated. Additionally, the deformation of the model under pulsatile flow as well as its correlation with flow behavior was evaluated. Consequently, a fabrication method for an aneurysm model with high accuracy was established and the importance of the wall thickness of the model was also specified.

Abstract
In order to explain the distribution of natural radiation level in the Asia, in situ measurements of dose rate in air due to terrestrial gamma radiation have been conducted in a total of 21 islands that belong to Ryukyu Islands (Ryukyu Archipelago), subtropical rejoin of southwest Japan. Car-borne surveys have also been carried out in Okinawa-jima, the biggest island of the archipelago. Based on the results for these measurements, arithmetic mean, the maximum and the minimum of the dose rates at 1 m in height from the unpaved soil ground in the archipelago were estimated to be 47, 165 and 8 nGy h(-1), respectively. A comparative study of car-borne data obtained prior to and subsequent to the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident, as for Okinawa-jima, indicated that the nuclear accident has no impact on the environmental radiation at the present time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the established pathogenic role of anti-desmoglein (Dsg) antibodies in classical pemphigus, the significance of autoantibodies to another desmosomal cadherin, desmocollin (Dsc) is at present unknown. No consistent immunoassay for immunoglobulin (Ig) G autoantibodies to Dscs has been developed. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to develop reliable assays to detect anti-Dsc autoantibodies. METHODS We expressed soluble recombinant proteins (RPs) of human Dsc1-3 in mammalian cells and examined sera of various types of pemphigus, including 79 paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) sera, by novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) using the RPs. We also performed ELISAs of Dsc baculoproteins and used the complementary DNA (cDNA) transfection method, and compared the results with those of mammalian ELISAs. RESULTS Through mammalian ELISAs, IgG autoantibodies to Dsc1, Dsc2 and Dsc3 were detected in 16.5%, 36.7% and 59.5% of PNP sera, respectively, and considerable numbers of pemphigus herpetiformis (PH) and pemphigus vegetans (PVeg) sera reacted strongly with Dsc1 and Dsc3. Mammalian ELISAs were highly specific and more sensitive than baculoprotein ELISAs or the cDNA transfection method. Several Dsc-positive sera, particularly PH sera, showed no reactivity with Dsgs. The reactivity of PNP serum and PVeg serum with Dscs was not abolished by pre-absorption with Dsg RPs. CONCLUSIONS The results of these novel ELISAs indicated that IgG anti-Dsc autoantibodies were frequently detected and potentially pathogenic in nonclassical pemphigus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term prognosis of Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) is determined by the severity of renal involvement, known as HSP nephritis, which varies considerably from patient to patient. There is now increasing evidence that dysregulated cytokine production plays a crucial role in human autoimmune and inflammatory processes. AIM To explore the possible contributions of serum antistreptolysin O, C-reactive protein, IgA, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) and antiphosphatidylserine-prothrombin complex antibody (anti-PSPT) in the pathogenesis of HSP, and to evaluate correlations between those biological parameters and the clinical features. METHODS Records were reviewed of 58 patients with HSP who presented initially with palpable purpura between 2003 and 2009. Serum IL-6 levels were determined by chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay, IL-8 levels by ELISA and TNF-α levels by quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay. Serum aCL and anti-PSPT levels were measured according to our previously published procedures. RESULTS There was a significant correlation between the serum IL-6 and IgA anti-PSPT levels, and also between the serum IL-8 and IgA anti-PSPT levels. Serum IL-8 and IgA aCL levels were both significantly higher in patients with renal involvement than in those without. Serum IL-6 and IgM anti-PSPT levels were also significantly higher in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms than in those without. CONCLUSIONS We suggest that serum IL-6 and IL-8 associated with antiphospholipid antibodies play a pivotal role in the induction of HSP. Based on our results, IL-8 and IgA aCL levels could be useful as markers to monitor the development of HSP nephritis, and IL-6 and IgM anti-PSPT levels could be used as markers to monitor the development of gastrointestinal involvement.
