| Abstract | We report a 62-year-old male with metastatic fumarate hydratase-deficient renal cell carcinoma (FH-deficient RCC) without fumarate hydratase (FH) mutation (FH-deficient–like RCC). The International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium risk score was intermediate, and immunotherapy with nivolumab and ipilimumab (Ipi/ Nivo) was initiated. Four cycles of Ipi/Nivo and 5 cycles of nivolumab resulted in a complete response of the metastases. Hypophysitis occurred as an immune-related adverse event after four cycles of Ipi/Nivo. The prognosis of patients with FH-deficient RCC is generally poor. Few reports of FH-deficient RCC successfully treated with Ipi/Nivo have been published. Ipi/Nivo can be effective for treating FH-deficient RCC. |

| Abstract | A 58-year-old Japanese man underwent vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in 2002. Twelve years later, optical coherence tomography revealed the development of a lamellar macular hole; the visual acuity was 20/200. Two years later, because metamorphopsia and the foveal retina thinning were aggravated, epiretinal proliferation embedding was performed to restore the foveal structure by transplanting glial cells to the foveal cavity. The patient was followed-up for 4 years, and his macular morphology and visual acuity (20/66) improved. No complications occurred. This appears to be the first report of epiretinal proliferation embedding for a lamellar macular hole post-RRD repair. |

| Note | We report an extremely rare case of a centenarian with acute appendicitis that was successfully managed via emergent surgery. A 109-year-old woman was referred to Daiichi Towakai Hospital with a high fever and nausea. She presented with peritoneal irritation, and computed tomography showed a swollen appendix with intraluminal fecolith. She was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and underwent appendectomy, which was performed via an open approach under spinal anesthesia. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful. As for treatment planning for centenarians, comprehensive and exhaustive discussions with the patient and family members should be encouraged under the principals of narrative medicine.| |

| Abstract | The worldwide microplastic pollution in our environment is a matter of great concern. Harmful effects of plastics have been reported in various types of organisms including murine animals. We examined the presence of microplastics in four types of shellfish purchased from fish markets in Okayama, Japan and served to the public: short-neck clam (Ruditapes philippinarum, asari in Japanese), hard-shell clam (Meretrix lusoria, hamaguri), brackishwater clam (Cyrenidae, shijimi), and oyster (Crassostrea gigas, kaki). Our analyses demonstrated that approx. 3 pieces of microplastics were present per single shellfish, based on the division of the total number of pieces of microplastic obtained from all 4 types of shellfish by the total number of shellfish examined. Since health problems in humans due to microplastics have not yet been confirmed, further examinations of the effects of ingested microplastics are needed. |

| Abstract | Osteocalcin (OC) is inversely related to body fat distribution and fasting glucose levels. We sought to observe the effect of OC on fat distribution and subclinical atherosclerosis as measured by carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in premenopausal obese women. In this prospective observational study, totally, 73 premenopausal obese women (aged 17-55 years) and 53 healthy women (aged 20-50 years) with normal weight were included as controls. Anthropometric measurements, total fat and fat ratio, insulin, fasting blood glucose, and OC levels were estimated. Ultrasonography was used to assess fat distribution, and fat thickness was measured in 4 regions. Subcutaneous fat (SCF), visceral fat (VF), and preperitoneal fat (PPF) thicknesses were considerably higher in obese subjects (p<0.01) than healthy controls, while OC levels were significantly lower. No correlation was observed between OC levels and SCF, VF, or PPF. In a multiple regression analysis, OC was significantly positively associated with SCF (p=0.04, Beta=0.284). No associations were observed between OC levels and VF, PPF, or CIMT. A significant association was observed between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and VF (p=0.021, Beta=0.284), and vitamin D levels were inversely associated with VF (p=0.002, r=−0.366). OC levels were lower in premenopausal obese women than normal-weight healthy controls, but OC exhibited no correlation with VF or PPF, and only a weak positive association with SCF. Additionally, VF was positively correlated with PTH and inversely correlated with vitamin D. These results suggest that OC may be an early indicator of lipid accumulation in te subcutaneous area and development of atherosclerosis. |

| Abstract | Hepatic oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of several acute liver diseases, and free heme is thought to contribute to endotoxemia-induced acute liver injury. The heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) gene is upregulated and the δ-aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS1) gene is downregulated in the rat liver following lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. BTB and CNC homology 1 (Bach1) is a heme-responsive transcription factor that normally represses HO-1 expression. In this study, we evaluated the changes in HO-1, ALAS1, and Bach1 expression and nuclear Bach1 expression in rat livers following intravenous LPS administration (10 mg/kg body weight). LPS significantly upregulated HO-1 mRNA and downregulated ALAS1 mRNA in the rat livers, suggesting that hepatic free heme concentrations are increased after LPS treatment. Bach1 mRNA was strongly induced after LPS injection. In contrast, nuclear Bach1 was significantly but transiently decreased after LPS treatment. Rats were also administered hemin (50 mg/kg body weight) intravenously to elevate heme concentrations, which decreased nuclear Bach1 levels. Our results suggest that elevated hepatic free heme may be associated with a decline of nuclear Bach1, and induction of Bach1 mRNA may compensate for the decreased nuclear Bach1 after LPS treatment in the rat liver. |

| Abstract | Perioperative dose-dense chemotherapy (DDCT) with pegfilgrastim (Peg) prophylaxis is a standard treatment for high-risk breast cancer. We explored the optimal timing of administration of 3.6 mg Peg, the dose approved in Japan. In the phase II feasibility study of DDCT (adriamycin+cyclophosphamide or epirubicin+cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel) for breast cancer, we investigated the feasibility, safety, neutrophil transition, and optimal timing of Peg treatment by administering Peg at days 2, 3, and 4 post-chemotherapy (P2, P3, and P4 groups, respectively). Among the 52 women enrolled, 13 were aged > 60 years. The anthracycline sequence was administered to P2 (n=33), P3 (n=5), and P4 (n=14) patients, and the taxane sequence to P2 (n=38) and P3 (n=6) patients. Both sequences showed no interaction between Peg administration timing and treatment discontinuation, treatment delay, or dose reduction. However, the relative dose intensity (RDI) was significantly different among the groups. The neutrophil count transition differed significantly among the groups receiving the anthracycline sequence. However, the neutrophil count remained in the appropriate range for both sequences in the P2 group. The timing of Peg administration did not substantially affect the feasibility or safety of DDCT. Postoperative day 2 might be the optimal timing for DDCT. |

| Abstract | We assessed the role of 18F-FDG PET/CT texture indices for the differentiation of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) in the oropharynx. 18F-FDG PET/CT data for 27 patients with SCC and 25 patients with NHL in the oropharynx were investigated. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and six texture indices (homogeneity, entropy, short-run emphasis, long-run emphasis, low gray-level zone emphasis [LGZE], and high graylevel zone emphasis [HGZE]) were derived from PET images. PET/CT parameters of the SCC patients were compared with those of the NHL patients. The diagnostic accuracy of the indices for differentiating SCC from NHL was calculated by a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. 18F-FDG uptake in the oropharynx was observed in all of the patients. The SUVmax, MTV, and TLG did not differ significantly between the SCC and NHL groups, but two of the six texture indices (LGZE [p=0.004] and HGZE [p=0.03]) showed significant differences between the groups. LGZE was the best discriminative index for the differentiation of SCC and NHL (55.6% sensitivity, 88.0% specificity). The LGZE and HGZE texture indices derived from 18F-FDG PET/CT images may be useful in differentiating SCC and NHL in the oropharynx. |

| Abstract | The management of blood pressure is a significant concern for surgeons and anesthesiologists performing adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma. We evaluated clinical factors in pheochromocytoma patients to identify the predictors of postoperative hypotension. The medical records of patients who underwent adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma between 2001 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed and clinical and biochemical data were evaluated. Of 29 patients, 13 patients needed catecholamine support in the perisurgical period while 16 patients did not. There were significant differences in median age, tumor size, and blood pressure drop (maxmin) between the 2 groups (68 vs 53 years old, p=0.045; 50 vs 32 mm diameter, p=0.022; 110 vs 71 mmHg, p=0.015 respectively). In univariate logistic analysis, age > 65.5 years, tumor size > 34.5 mm, urine metanephrine > 0.205 mg/day and urine normetanephrine > 0.665 mg/day were significant predictors of prolonged hypotension requiring postoperative catecholamine support. Tumor size and urine metanephrine and urine normetanephrine levels were correlated with postoperative hypotension. These predictors may help in the safe perioperative management of pheochromocytoma patients treated with adrenalectomy. |

| Abstract | Recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/MHNSCC) has a poor prognosis. Although nivolumab is approved in Japan for treating R/MHNSCC, the response rate is low. Therefore, identifying pretreatment prognostic factors is necessary. This study assessed the utility of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) as biomarkers of response to nivolumab. We retrospectively collected the data of 56 R/MHNSCC patients treated with nivolumab between May 2017 and December 2019. The Kaplan–Meier method and log-rank test were used to estimate overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), and multivariate Cox hazard regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of survival. Patients with a low pretreatment NLR had prolonged OS, and patients with a low pretreatment GPS had increased OS and PFS. A performance score (PS) of 0-1, development of immune-related adverse events, and GPS of 0-1 were significantly associated with OS in multivariate analysis. In summary, baseline pretreatment NLR and GPS are independently associated with OS in R/MHNSCC patients treated with nivolumab. Administration of nivolumab while maintaining the PS reflects a immune status of the host and leads to a good OS. |
