Abstract | A 43-year-old male with type 2 diabetes, under treatment with 5 mg/day of dapagliflozin, was referred to our hospital with upper left abdominal pain and marked hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides [TGs], 5,960 mg/dl). He was also on a low-carbohydrate diet that promoted ketosis under sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor administration. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed a remarkable increase in very-low-den-sity lipoprotein, a TG-rich lipoprotein particle synthesized in the liver using free fatty acids derived from adi-pose tissue. Although SGLT2 inhibitors generally improve the lipid profile, under certain conditions such as a low-carbohydrate diet, they may adversely exacerbate the lipid profile via ketosis. |

Abstract | The purposes of this retrospective study were to analyze local control of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix treated with computed tomography (CT)-based image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT), as well as the factors affecting local control. A total of 39 patients were analyzed. The prescribed dose to the pelvis was 45-50 Gy with or without central shielding (CS). IGBT was delivered in 1-5 fractions. The total dose for high-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTV) was calculated as the biologically equivalent dose in 2-Gy fractions. The median follow-up period was 29.3 months. The 2-year overall survival and local control rates were 97% and 91%, respectively. In univariate analysis, the dose covering 90% of the HR-CTV (D90) and tumor size were found to be significant factors for local control. The cutoff values of tumor size and D90 for local control were 4.3 cm (area under the curve [AUC] 0.75) and 67.7 Gy (AUC 0.84) in the CS group and 5.3 cm (AUC 0.75) and 73.7 Gy (AUC 0.78) in the group without CS, respectively. However, though the local control of CT-based IGBT was favorable, the results suggested that the dose required for tumor control may differ depending on the presence of CS. |

Abstract | Although the lung is the most common site of distant metastases from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the number of reports about the effects of pulmonary metastasectomy for the treatment of lung metastasis from HNSCC is limited. Metachronous pulmonary metastases were detected in 45 HNSCC patients at Kumamoto University Hospital from 1998 to 2018. Twenty-two patients underwent an operative resection (Ope group) and 23 underwent chemotherapy (Chemo group). The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate and median OS were evaluated. The effects of adjuvant chemotherapy after pulmonary metastasectomy and of new drugs (cetuximab and nivolumab), in the chemo group were also assessed. The 3-year OS rates and median OS were: Ope, 66.1% and 31.5 months; Chemo, 39.7% and 18 months, respectively. In the Ope group, addi-tional recurrences were significantly fewer in the patients who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy post-surgery versus the patients who underwent surgery alone (p = 0.013). In the Chemo group, the 3-year OS rate of the patients who received new drugs was significantly better than that of the patients who did not (p = 0.021). Adjuvant chemotherapy after pulmonary metastasectomy may be a preferable treatment option for preventing recurrences. Cetuximab and nivolumab have a potential to improve OS. |

Abstract | To determine the clinical characteristics of low androgen status in adult males with diabetes, we retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in whom serum free testosterone (FT) levels were examined for 1 year. Among the 46 patients (56 ± 1.5 years old), decreases in serum FT levels to < 8.5 pg/ml (indicating the occurrence of late-onset hypogonadism [LOH]) were detected in 18 (39%). The per-centages of patients with low FT levels were high in the ≥ 50 years age group (83%), the HbA1c < 7% group (67%), and the 25 ≤ BMI < 30 kg/m2 group (56%). The serum FT levels tended to decrease age-dependently. The level of HbA1c was significantly correlated with the Heinemann Aging Male Symptoms (AMS) score (R = 0.47). The low-FT group had decreased levels of hemoglobin. Of note, the serum FSH level (R = −0.32) was negatively correlated with the serum FT level, whereas the serum TSH level (R = 0.36) was positively correlated with the serum FT level. Collectively, these results revealed that many diabetic males may have low FT levels and that the AMS score is related to the HbA1c level. A slightly anemic condition, thyroid dysfunction, and obesity (class 1) might be involved in LOH in middle-aged diabetic males. |

Title Alternative | A comparative gene analysis reveals a diatom-specific SET domain protein family |

Abstract | The silica cell walls of diatoms, which exhibit species-spe-cific micro- and nano- patterned structures are promising candidates for applications in nanotechnology. Previous studies revealed a number of silica cell wall-associated proteins involved in silica formation. However, molecular biological analyses toward understanding of diatom cell wall formation have been mostly limited to model diatom species and general silica formation process in diatoms is still incompletely understood. In this study, to gain a compre-hensive insight into diatom silica biomineralization, tran-scriptome data of three diatom species, Nitzschia palea, Achnanthes kuwaitensis and Pseudoleyanella lunata, were newly developed. The reads obtained from RNA sequencing were assembled into 31,946, 60,767 and 38,314 unique transcripts for N. palea, A. kuwaitensis and P. lunata, respectively. In order to identify the diatom-specific genes, three transcriptome data sets developed in this study and the protein-coding gene sets of five genome-sequenced diatoms were compared. The proteins shared only by eight diatom species that are predicted to possess an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-targeting signal peptide were selected for further analyses. These include proteins showing homology to silicanin-1, a recently reported diatom-specific protein involved in silica formation, as well as a number of SET domain proteins. The SET domain proteins might be novel diatom-specific family of methyltransferases that may reg-ulate the function of silica formation related proteins or long chain polyamines. The genes encoding the diatom-specific SET domain proteins identified in this study, which were shown to respond to silicon were suggested to be implicated in silica biomineralization. |
