Abstract
We present the first comprehensive tests of the universality of the light leptons in the angular distributions of semileptonic B^{0}-meson decays to charged spin-1 charmed mesons. We measure five angular-asymmetry observables as functions of the decay recoil that are sensitive to lepton-universality-violating contributions. We use events where one neutral B is fully reconstructed in ϒ(4S)→BB[over ¯] decays in data corresponding to 189 fb^{-1} integrated luminosity from electron-positron collisions collected with the Belle II detector. We find no significant deviation from the standard model expectations.

Abstract
We measure the lifetime of the D_{s}^{+} meson using a data sample of 207 fb^{-1} collected by the Belle II experiment running at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The lifetime is determined by fitting the decay-time distribution of a sample of 116×10^{3} D_{s}^{+}→ϕπ^{+} decays. Our result is τ_{D_{s}^{+}}=(499.5±1.7±0.9) fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This result is significantly more precise than previous measurements.

Abstract
We report the first search for a nonstandard-model resonance decaying into τ pairs in e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}τ^{+}τ^{-} events in the 3.6-10 GeV/c^{2} mass range. We use a 62.8 fb^{-1} sample of e^{+}e^{-} collisions collected at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. The analysis probes three different models predicting a spin-1 particle coupling only to the heavier lepton families, a Higgs-like spin-0 particle that couples preferentially to charged leptons (leptophilic scalar), and an axionlike particle, respectively. We observe no evidence for a signal and set exclusion limits at 90% confidence level on the product of cross section and branching fraction into τ pairs, ranging from 0.7 to 24 fb, and on the couplings of these processes. We obtain world-leading constraints on the couplings for the leptophilic scalar model for masses above 6.5 GeV/c^{2} and for the axionlike particle model over the entire mass range.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the CP-violating parameters C and S in B^{0}→K_{S}^{0}π^{0} decays at Belle II using a sample of 387×10^{6} BB[over ¯] events recorded in e^{+}e^{-} collisions at a center-of-mass energy corresponding to the ϒ(4S) resonance. These parameters are determined by fitting the proper decay-time distribution of a sample of 415 signal events. We obtain C=-0.04_{-0.15}^{+0.14}±0.05 and S=0.75_{-0.23}^{+0.20}±0.04, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of the ratio of branching fractions of inclusive semileptonic B-meson decays, R(X_{e/μ})=B(B→Xeν)/B(B→Xμν), a precision test of electron-muon universality, using data corresponding to 189 fb^{-1} from electron-positron collisions collected with the Belle II detector. In events where the partner B meson is fully reconstructed, we use fits to the lepton momentum spectra above 1.3 GeV/c to obtain R(X_{e/μ})=1.007±0.009(stat)±0.019(syst), which is the most precise lepton-universality test of its kind and agrees with the standard-model expectation.

Abstract
The L_{μ}-L_{τ} extension of the standard model predicts the existence of a lepton-flavor-universality-violating Z^{'} boson that couples only to the heavier lepton families. We search for such a Z^{'} through its invisible decay in the process e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}Z^{'}. We use a sample of electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019-2020, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79.7 fb^{-1}. We find no excess over the expected standard-model background. We set 90%-confidence-level upper limits on the cross section for this process as well as on the coupling of the model, which ranges from 3×10^{-3} at low Z^{'} masses to 1 at Z^{'} masses of 8 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
We search for lepton-flavor-violating τ^{-}→e^{-}α and τ^{-}→μ^{-}α decays, where α is an invisible spin-0 boson. The search uses electron-positron collisions at 10.58 GeV center-of-mass energy with an integrated luminosity of 62.8 fb^{-1}, produced by the SuperKEKB collider and collected with the Belle II detector. We search for an excess in the lepton-energy spectrum of the known τ^{-}→e^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e}ν_{τ} and τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ} decays. We report 95% confidence-level upper limits on the branching-fraction ratio B(τ^{-}→e^{-}α)/B(τ^{-}→e^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e}ν_{τ}) in the range (1.1-9.7)×10^{-3} and on B(τ^{-}→μ^{-}α)/B(τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ}) in the range (0.7-12.2)×10^{-3} for α masses between 0 and 1.6 GeV/c^{2}. These results provide the most stringent bounds on invisible boson production from τ decays.

Abstract
We study the processes e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{bJ}(1P) (J=0, 1, or 2) using samples at center-of-mass energies sqrt[s]=10.701, 10.745, and 10.805 GeV, corresponding to 1.6, 9.8, and 4.7 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity, respectively. These data were collected with the Belle II detector during special operations of the SuperKEKB collider above the ϒ(4S) resonance. We report the first observation of ωχ_{bJ}(1P) signals at sqrt[s]=10.745 GeV. By combining Belle II data with Belle results at sqrt[s]=10.867 GeV, we find energy dependencies of the Born cross sections for e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{b1,b2}(1P) to be consistent with the shape of the ϒ(10753) state. These data indicate that the internal structures of the ϒ(10753) and ϒ(10860) states may differ. Including data at sqrt[s]=10.653 GeV, we also search for the bottomonium equivalent of the X(3872) state decaying into ωϒ(1S). No significant signal is observed for masses between 10.45 and 10.65 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In patients with ischemic stroke, DWI lesions can occasionally be reversed by reperfusion therapy. This study aimed to ascertain the relationship between ADC levels and DWI reversal in patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent recanalization treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study in patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular mechanical thrombectomy with successful recanalization between April 2017 and March 2021. DWI reversal was assessed through follow-up MR imaging approximately 24 hours after treatment. RESULTS In total, 118 patients were included. DWI reversal was confirmed in 42 patients. The ADC level in patients with reversal was significantly higher than that in patients without reversal. Eighty-three percent of patients with DWI reversal areas had mean ADC levels of ≥520 × 10-6 mm2/s, and 71% of patients without DWI reversal areas had mean ADC levels of <520 × 10-6 mm2/s. The mean ADC threshold was 520 × 10-6 mm2/s with a sensitivity and specificity of 71% and 83%, respectively. In multivariate analysis, the mean ADC level (OR, 1.023; 95% CI, 1.013-1.033; P < .0001) was independently associated with DWI reversal. Patients with DWI reversal areas had earlier neurologic improvement (NIHSS at 7 days) than patients without reversal areas (P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS In acute ischemic stroke, the ADC value is independently associated with DWI reversal. Lesions with a mean ADC of ≥520 × 10-6 mm2/s are salvageable by mechanical thrombectomy, and DWI reversal areas regain neurologic function. The ADC value is easily assessed and is a useful tool to predict viable lesions.

Abstract
We report observations of gamma-ray emissions with energies in the 100-TeV energy region from the Cygnus region in our Galaxy. Two sources are significantly detected in the directions of the Cygnus OB1 and OB2 associations. Based on their positional coincidences, we associate one with a pulsar PSR J2032+4127 and the other mainly with a pulsar wind nebula PWN G75.2+0.1, with the pulsar moving away from its original birthplace situated around the centroid of the observed gamma-ray emission. This work would stimulate further studies of particle acceleration mechanisms at these gamma-ray sources.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The impact of sex differences on the clinical outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) is controversial. We previously reported that females experienced more frequent AF recurrences than males after the index and last RFCA procedures.
Purpose
To identify the risk factors associated with recurrent AF in females and males after RFCA of AF.
Methods
We conducted a large-scale, prospective, multicenter, observational study (Kansai Plus Atrial Fibrillation Registry). We enrolled 5010 consecutive patients who underwent an initial RFCA of AF at 26 centers (64±10 years; 1369 [27.3%] females; non-paroxysmal AF, 35.7%). The median follow-up duration was 2.9 years.
Results
The incidence of AF recurrences after a single procedure was 43.3% in females and 39.0% in males. After a multivariate adjustment at baseline, the significant predictors of AF recurrence in females after the index RFCA were non-paroxysmal AF (hazard ration [HR],1.59; 95% confidence interval [CI],1.31–1.93, p<0.0001), a history of AF ≥2 years (HR,1.47; 95% CI,1.24–1.74, p<0.0001), coronary artery disease (HR,1.43; 95% CI,1.03–1.98, p=0.0035), and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)<60 mL/min/1.73m2 (HR,1.46; 95% CI,1.10–1.95, p=0.0086). On the other hand, significant predictors of AF recurrence in males after the index RFCA were non-paroxysmal AF (HR,1.54; 95% CI,1.37–1.73, p<0.0001), a history of AF ≥2 years (HR,1.40; 95% CI,1.26–1.56, p<0.0001), the number of antiarrhythmic drugs (HR,1.06; 95% CI,1.003–1.13, p=0.040), a left atrial diameter≥40mm (HR,1.13; 95% CI,1.007–1.27, p=0.038), and dilated cardiomyopathy (HR,1.55; 95% CI,1.07–2.26, p=0.021), however, an eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73m2 was not associated with AF recurrence in males (HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.88–1.13, p=0.97).
Conclusion
The Kansai Plus Atrial Fibrillation Registry revealed a distinct sex difference in terms of the predictors of recurrent AF after RFCA. Non-Paroxysmal AF and a long history of AF were common risk factors both in females and males. However, renal dysfunction was a significant predictor of AF recurrence in females, while it was not a risk of recurrence in males.

Abstract
We investigate low-temperature electronic properties of the nondimeric organic superconductor β^{''}-(ET)_{4}[(H_{3}O)Ga(C_{2}O_{4})_{3}]PhNO_{2}. By examining ultrasonic properties, charge disproportionation (CD) without magnetic field dependence is detected below T_{CD}∼8 K just above the superconducting critical temperature T_{c}∼6 K. From quantum oscillations in high fields, we find variation in the Fermi surface and mass enhancement induced by the CD. Heat capacity studies elucidate that the superconducting gap function is fully gapped in the Fermi surface, but anisotropic with fourfold symmetry. We point out that the pairing mechanism of the superconductivity is possibly dominated by charge fluctuations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) is the leading cause of death in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), and AF is an independent prognostic factor in HF patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for AF is effective to maintain sinus rhythm.
Purpose
We sought to clarify incidence of HF hospitalization and whether AF ablation outcome influenced incidence of HF hospitalization after the procedures in patients with preserved LVEF.
Methods
We conducted a large-scale, prospective, multicenter, observational study. A total of 4522 consecutive patients with normal LVEF (>/- 50%) who underwent an initial RFCA for AF in 26 centers were enrolled (average age, 64±10 years; non-paroxysmal AF, 33.7%). The median follow-up duration was 2.9 years.
Results
The 3-year cumulative incidence of AF recurrence after a single procedure was 40.3%. Hospitalization for HF was observed in 60 patients (1.3%) and was significantly higher in patients with AF recurrence than those without it (2.63% vs 0.44%, log-rank p<0.001). After adjustment by age ≥65 years, estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤60ml/min, history of HF, and female, all of which were statistically associated with a risk of HF hospitalization, AF recurrence after the index RFCA was an independent predictor of HF hospitalization (hazard ratio; 4.75, 95% confidence interval; 2.59–9.42, p<0.001).
Conclusions
Recurrence after RFCA for AF was a significant risk of HF hospitalization among AF patients with preserved LVEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Improving the quality of life (QoL) is one of the main purposes of catheter ablation (CA) of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Factors associated with QoL improvement after CA of AF patients have not been clarified. The Kansai Plus Atrial Fibrillation (KPAF) Registry is a multi-center registry enrolling more than 5,000 consecutive patients undergoing the first radiofrequency catheter ablation of AF.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the QoL change after AF ablation and its associated factors.
Methods
A total of 2030 patients in whom the QoL score was assessed before and one year after the ablation were enrolled from the KPAF registry (age 64±10 years, 75% male, paroxysmal 66%, CHADS2 score 1.1±1.1). The QoL was evaluated using the AF specific QoL evaluation method (AFQLQ), which scores the patient QoL within a range of 0–98 points.
Results
Overall, catheter ablation showed a significant increase in the AFQLQ score (68±19 vs. 86±13 points, P<0.01). AF recurrence was observed in 372 cases (18%) during a 1-year follow-up period. A multivariate analysis showed that AF recurrence, symptomatic AF, long AF duration, high preprocedural heart rate (>110 bpm) and small left atrial diameter were independent predictors of a QoL improvement defined as a >10% score increase.
Multivariate analysis
Conclusions
CA of AF significantly improved the QoL. AF recurrence was one of the strong factors associated with QoL improvement. Symptomatic AF, long AF duration, high preprocedural heart rate and small left atrial diameter were independent predictors of QoL improvement.

Results
The 3-year cumulative incidence of AF recurrence after a single procedure was 40.2%. The 3-year incidence of hospitalization for HF was observed in 92 patients (1.8%) and was significantly higher in patients with AF recurrence than those without it (3.3% vs 0.84%, log-rank p<0.001). After adjustment by advanced age,(≥65 years), reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (≤50%), low estimated glomerular filtration rate (≤60ml/min), and history of HF, all of which were statistically associated with a risk of HF hospitalization (p<0.1, respectively), AF recurrence after the index RFCA was an independent predictor of HF hospitalization (hazard ratio [HR]; 3.17, 95% confidence interval [CI]; 2.06–5.04, p<0.001).Even after multiple procedures (1425 re-ablation sessions in 1274 patients [25.4%]), AF recurrence after the last procedure was an independent predictor of HF hospitalization (HR; 2.83, 95% CI; 1.89–4.24, p<0.001).
Conclusions
Among AF patients receiving RFCA, those with AF recurrence were at greater risk of heart failure hospitalization than were patients without AF recurrence. These differences should be noted when treating AF patients in actual clinical practice.

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

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

Abstract
Abstract
Background: 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is used to evaluate the glucose metabolic rates of cancers. Several studies have reported that high FDG uptake is predictive of poor prognosis and aggressive features in patients with breast cancer. FDG uptake is influenced by many factors, including inflammation. In this study, we investigated the relationship between FDG uptake and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which is an indicator of systemic inflammation. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively investigated the cases of 143 consecutive invasive ductal carcinoma patients who had undergone surgery and FDG-PET preoperatively.PET was evaluated using standardized uptake value max (SUVmax). The median SUVmax was 2.5 (range 0-10.5). Thus, we divided the cases into two groups based on the value of SUVmax; low (<2.5) and high (≥2.5). The relationships between SUVmax and clinicopathological features, including NLR, were investigated. Results: Among the143 patients, 73 (51.0%) had high SUVmax in the primary tumor. The analysis revealed that large tumor size (p<0.001), high nuclear grade (p<0.001), the presence of lymphovascular invasion (p<0.001), CRP (p=0.046) and high NLR (p<0.001) were significantly associated with high SUVmax in the primary tumor. There were associations between SUVmax and NLR (r=0.323, p<0.001). Among the 70 cases with low SUVmax, there was no recurrent disease, while 6 cases among the 73 cases with high SUVmax had disease recurrence. It is interesting to note that the group with high SUVmax and low NLR had no recurrent disease. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to describe the relationship between FDG uptake and NLR in breast cancer. The present study demonstrated that the finding of preoperative high FDG uptake in breast cancer may be reflective of poor prognosis and that high NLR may be predictive of aggressive features among patients with breast cancer. On the other hand, among breast cancer patients with high SUVmax in the primary tumor, it will be useful to identify the subset of patients with low NLR in order to improve prognostic accuracy.

Abstract
Magnetization measurements under pressure reveal that the external hydrostatic pressure significantly increases in the ferrimagnetic transition temperature, Tc, for A2Mn[Mn(CN)6] (A = K, Rb, Cs). In the case of monoclinic A = K and Rb, dTc/dp values are 21.2 and 14.6 K GPa-1, respectively, and Tc increases by 53 and 39%, respectively, from ambient pressure to 1.0 GPa. The cubic A = Cs compound also shows a monotonous increase with an initial rate of 4.22 K GPa-1 and about 11.4 K GPa-1 above 0.6 GPa, and an overall Tc increase by 26% at 1.0 GPa. The increase in Tc is attributed to deformation of the structure such that the MnII-N≡C angle decreases with increasing pressure. The smaller the alkali cation, the greater the decrease in the MnII-N≡C angle induced by pressure and the larger the increase of dTc/dp. This is in accordance with the ambient-pressure structures for A2Mn[Mn(CN)6] (A = K, Rb, Cs), which have decreasing MnII-N≡C angles that correlate to the observed increasing Tcs as K > Rb > Cs. The large increase in Tc for the A = K compound is the highest class among several cyano-bridged metal complexes. The tuning of the transition temperature by such a weak pressure may lead to additional applications such as switching devices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES More than two decades have passed since the first living donor liver transplantation was performed in Japan in 1989. There are many reports about problems in adherence to taking medication and medical follow-ups in children who received liver transplants, because there is no transition strategy for those children and parents or guardians. The objective of this study is to measure the effect of nature and outdoor activity to improve children's medical adherence. METHODS We recruited participants from 9-year-old children who are attending the outpatient liver transplant clinic in a stable condition (no event such as rejection or surgical procedure within 6 months). We took participants to a snow camp and measured its effect by using the IKIRU CHIKARA (IKR) tool, which contain 28 items divided into 3 categories: psychosocial ability, moral fitness, and physical ability. Children were tested on three occasions, before, just after, and 1 month after the camp. RESULTS Eight patients participated in the snow camp and 7 patients were eligible for the study. The average age was 12.6 with a range 10 to 17 years. There were 3 girls and 4 boys. The average IKR scores before, just after, and 1 month after the camp were 127.9, 131.5, and 126.6, respectively. CONCLUSION An outdoor activity such as a snow camp can be safely conducted, and it is an acceptable option to incorporate within a pediatric liver transplant program. There were no significant changes in IKR scores during this short observation. Longer observation is needed to measure the effect of nature and outdoor activities.

Abstract
We describe successful treatment of 3 cases of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) encephalitis/myelitis following cord blood transplantation (CBT). Ganciclovir (GCV) (10 mg/kg/day) reduced HHV-6 load to undetectable levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Early dose reduction in the presence of HHV-6 detectable in CSF resulted in an increased HHV-6 load. GCV was capably shifted to valganciclovir (VGCV) with an almost equivalent concentration. GCV/VGCV may be effective for HHV-6 encephalitis/myelitis after CBT, although HHV-6 load in CSF should be monitored.

Abstract
We can summarize our results as follows: (1) A pair of fluorescent crosslines were isolated from the Maillard reaction mixture; (2) AGE-proteins contained crossline-like structures, and (3) crossline-like immunoreactivities were accumulated in renal tissues of diabetic rats. From these results we concluded that fluorophores in AGE proteins have crossline-like structures and we had the first indication that XLs could be markers for renal disorders.

Abstract
Using serum-containing culture, we examined whether AGM-S3 stromal cells, alone or in combination with hematopoietic growth factor(s), stimulated the proliferation of CD34(+) cells from patients with juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). AGM-S3 cells in concert with stem cell factor plus thrombopoietin increased the numbers of peripheral blood CD34(+) cells to approximately 20-fold of the input value after 2 weeks in nine JMML patients with either PTPN11 mutations or RAS mutations, who received allogeneic hematopoietic transplantation. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) also augmented the proliferation of JMML CD34(+) cells on AGM-S3 cells. The expansion potential of CD34(+) cells was markedly low in four patients who achieved spontaneous hematological improvement. A large proportion of day-14-cultured CD34(+) cells were negative for CD38 and cryopreservable. Cultured JMML CD34(+)CD38(-) cells expressed CD117, CD116, c-mpl, CD123, CD90, but not CXCR4, and formed GM and erythroid colonies. Day-7-cultured CD34(+) cells from two of three JMML patients injected intrafemorally into immunodeficient mice stimulated with human GM-CSF after transplantation displayed significant hematopoietic reconstitution. The abilities of OP9 cells and MS-5 cells were one-third and one-tenth, respectively, of the value obtained with AGM-S3 cells. Our culture system may provide a useful tool for elucidating leukemogenesis and for therapeutic approaches in JMML.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Donor shortages occasionally necessitate the use of hepatic allografts from hepatitis B core antibody-positive (HBcAb+) donors, with an attendant risk of post-transplantation hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The aim of the present study was to develop and evaluate a protocol of active immunization for prevention of post-transplantation de novo HBV infection in patients receiving liver grafts from HBcAb+ donors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Ten patients who had received HBcAb+ liver grafts at Shinshu University Hospital between October 1996 and December 2012 were enrolled. All the recipients were negative for HBV serological tests, and HBV-DNA. Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) was given routinely in the peritransplantation and post-transplantation periods, without antiviral drugs. Subcutaneous vaccination with recombinant HBV was given at a dosage of 20 μg in adults and 5 μg in children concomitant with HBIG until acquisition of active immunization. The timing to start HBV vaccination was dependent on the condition of the patient. RESULTS The median follow-up period after liver transplantation was 140 months, and the median period after transplantation until the start of vaccination was 7.0 months. Nine patients (90%) acquired active immunity after a median number of 4 (range, 2-13) vaccinations (hepatitis B surface antibody >300 mIU/mL for 1 year, or >100 mIU/mL thereafter), and did not require HBIG administration thereafter. None had any side effects of HBV vaccination or developed hepatitis B infection during the study period. Four fast responders who achieved antibody high titers by active immunization within 9 months received pretransplantation vaccinations, whereas 5 slow responders did not. CONCLUSIONS Our vaccination protocol provides a new effective strategy for prevention of de novo hepatitis B infection after liver transplantation in recipients with HBcAb+ liver grafts. Pretransplantation HBV vaccination was helpful for the post-transplantation vaccine response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gefitinib treatment results in considerably better progression-free survival compared with that of platinum doublets in the first line treatment of nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) carrying an activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. Some patients who respond to gefitinib have an overall survival (OS) of more than 5 years, whereas other initial responders do less well. Although there has been considerable effort made to elucidate the mechanisms of acquired resistance, there have only been a few studies that addressed the effect of clinical backgrounds and treatment histories on the survival of the patients who had responded to an EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). In this study, we especially focused on the clinical benefit of EGFR-TKI administration after progression. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients with advanced NSCLC who were diagnosed before October 2010, treated with gefitinib after July 2002, and responded to it. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate how clinical backgrounds and treatment histories influence survival of the patients who respond to gefitinib. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the safety of long-term gefitinib use and to establish the optimal treatment sequence using a dynamic treatment regimen analysis (DTRA). RESULTS A total of 335 patients were recruited. Twenty-eight (8.4%) patients survived more than 5 years. Sixty-five and 93 patients received gefitinib as rechallenge and beyond progressive disease (BPD), respectively. A statistically significant difference in OS was observed between the patients who underwent gefitinib rechallenge and those who did not rechallenge (median: 1272 days vs. 774 days; p < 0.001), a result supported by a DTRA. Patients treated with gefitinib BPD also showed a tendency of longer survival. CONCLUSIONS Gefitinib rechallenge and BPD played a central role in long term survival of the patients who initially responded to gefitinib.
