| Abstract | A 38-year-old primipara Japanese woman suffered cardiac arrest due to a pulmonary thromboembolism 1 day after undergoing a cesarean section. Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support was needed for 24 h. Despite intensive care, the patient was diagnosed with brain death on day 6. With the family’s consent, comprehensive end-of-life care including organ donation was discussed based on our hospital’s policy. The family decided to donate her organs. Specific training and education are required for emergency physicians to optimize the process of incorporating organ donation into end-of-life care while respecting the patient’s and family’s wishes. |

| Abstract | Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a side effect in patients taking bone-modifying agents (BMAs), which are highly beneficial for treating osteoporosis and cancer. Bisphosphonates are prescribed to treat secondary osteoporosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We recently encountered two unusual cases of intraoral ONJ in RA patients who had not been treated with a BMA and did not have features of methotrexate- associated lymphoproliferative disorder. Their ONJ stage II bone exposures were treated by conservative therapy, providing good prognoses. These cases indicate that ONJ can occur in RA patients not treated with bisphosphonates. Several risk factors are discussed. |

| Abstract | The inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine CoronaVac has not been approved in Japan. Little information is available on cases in Japan in which an approved mRNA vaccine was administered as the initial (first or second) dose after two doses of CoronaVac. Furthermore, the safety and efficacy of this combination are not established. We here evaluated the safety and efficacy in a patient who showed an antibody response to an approved vaccine, mRNA-1273, after a previous vaccination with CoronaVac. The adverse events consisted of only mild local and systemic common reactions and were transient. In addition, a strong and persistent antibody response was observed. |

| Abstract | Appropriate operations in severe anterior open bite (AOB) cases are extremely complicated to perform because of the multiple surgical procedures involved, the difficulty of predicting posttreatment aesthetics, and the high relapse rate. We herein report a 16-year-old girl with skeletal Class II, severe AOB malocclusion, and crowding with short roots, and aesthetic and functional problems. Four-piece segmental Le Fort I osteotomy with horseshoe osteotomy was performed for maxillary intrusion, and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and genioplasty were performed for mandibular advancement. The malocclusion and skeletal deformity were significantly improved by the surgical orthodontic treatment. Functional and aesthetic occlusion with an improved facial profile was established, and no further root shortening was observed. Acceptable occlusion and dentition were maintained after a two-year retention period. This strategy of surgical orthodontic treatment with a complicated operative procedure might be effective for correcting certain severe AOB malocclusion cases. |

| Abstract | An annular pancreas is a rare anomaly of the pancreas, defined as pancreatic tissue that totally or partly encircles the duodenum, usually the descending portion. A 76-year-old man who was diagnosed with gastric cancer cT3N0M0 Stage IIB underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with D2 lymph node dissection. Intraoperatively, the dorsal half of the duodenal bulb was seen to be half surrounded by the pancreas, and a non-typical annular pancreas was diagnosed. Because of the risk to the pancreas, it was considered impossible to perform anastomosis by a linear stapler as in the usual laparoscopic procedure. Therefore, we performed laparoscopically assisted distal gastrectomy and Billroth-I reconstruction using a circular stapler, and the surgery was completed without difficulties. His postoperative course was good despite the development of a pancreatic fistula, which was an International Study Group for Pancreas Fistula biochemical leak. Some APs can be diagnosed preoperatively, but the rarer subtypes such as ours are more difficult to visualize on imaging. In gastrectomy, it is both oncologically important and technically challenging to perform lymph node dissection around the pancreas. In this case with an especially proximal pancreas, a circular stapler was considered better suited for gastroduodenal anastomosis and required a broader field than that afforded by laparoscopy. A case of non-typical annular pancreas diagnosed during laparoscopic gastric surgery is described. |

| Abstract | A 35-year-old female presented with headache, photophobia and developed sudden loss of vision after having undergone right-side ophthalmectomy and radiochemotherapy for retinoblastoma in infancy. A neoplastic lesion was found in the left middle cranial fossa and was surgically removed. The diagnosis was radiation-induced osteosarcoma with RB1 gene alteration. Although she received chemotherapy for the residual tumor, it progressed 17 months later. Maximal surgical resection with craniofacial reconstruction was required. We utilized two three-dimensional models for surgical planning. She was discharged without neurological deficits other than loss of light perception subsequent to left ophthalmectomy. In cases where retinoblastoma is treated with radiotherapy, long-term follow-up is necessary to monitor for radiation-induced tumor development. |

| Abstract | Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign bone tumor that presents with nocturnal pain. Computed tomography (CT)- guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been widely performed for OO, and major adverse events post-RFA are rare. We report a case of OO in the left navicular bone of a 15-year-old male. He underwent RFA for OO, and the pain improved temporarily. At the 1-month follow-up, the patient complained of left foot pain, and a CT examination revealed a fracture of the ablated navicular bone. Fractures are rare but must be taken into account after bone RFA. |

| Abstract | Herein, we report two patients with autoimmune gastritis who had undergone multiple esophagogastroduodenoscopy procedures for 17 and 9 years, respectively, before their diagnosis. Instead, they had been diagnosed with and treated for Helicobacter pylori-associated gastritis. The correct diagnosis was made when scatterings of tiny whitish protrusions in the gastric mucosa were detected on esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Our findings suggest that scattered tiny whitish bumps may be a clue to the diagnosis of autoimmune gastritis. |

| Abstract | We report a case of ipsilateral periprosthetic fractures above and below the knee that occurred at different times due to navigation tracker pin and bone fragility. A 66-year-old Japanese woman with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) underwent a total knee arthroplasty. Four months post-surgery, a periprosthetic fracture above the knee at the navigation pin hole was detected. She underwent osteosynthesis and could walk independently, but she developed an ipsilateral tibial component fracture. Conservative treatment with a splint was followed by bone union. Patients with RA treated with oral steroids tend to develop ipsilateral periprosthetic fractures around the knee due to bone fragility. |

| Abstract | We investigated the effects of celecoxib combined with (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) or polyphenon E in a cisplatin-induced lung tumorigenesis model. Four-week-old female A/J mice were divided into seven groups: (i) Control, (ii) 150 mg/kg celecoxib (150Cel), (iii) 1,500 mg/kg celecoxib (1500Cel), (iv) EGCG+150 mg/kg celecoxib (EGCG+150Cel), (v) EGCG+1,500 mg/kg celecoxib (EGCG+1500Cel), (vi) polyphenon E+150 mg/kg celecoxib (PolyE+150Cel), and (vii) polyphenon E+1,500 mg/kg celecoxib (PolyE+1500Cel). All mice were administered cisplatin (1.62 mg/kg of body weight, i.p.) 1×/week for 10 weeks and sacrificed at week 30; the numbers of tumors on the lung surface were then determined. The tumor incidence and multiplicity (no. of tumors/mouse, mean±SD) were respectively 95% and 2.15±1.50 in Control, 95% and 2.10±1.29 in 150Cel, 86% and 1.67±1.20 in 1500Cel, 71% and 1.38±1.24 in EGCG+150Cel, 67% and 1.29±1.38 in EGCG+1500Cel, 80% and 1.95±1.36 in PolyE+150Cel, and 65% and 1.05±0.10 in PolyE+1500Cel. The combination of high-dose celecoxib with EGCG or polyphenon E significantly reduced multiplicity in cisplatin-induced lung tumors. |

| Abstract | Melanosis coli (MC) is an acquired colorectal disorder visualized as colonic mucosa pigmentation. Disease severity is confirmed based on MC depth, shape, and coloration, although the clinical course is not fully understood. This study sought to clarify characteristics of MC development and disappearance and to investigate its clinical course and severity. Contributors to MC grade progression were explored. This study reviewed MC cases discovered via colonoscopy at a single institution over a 10-year period. Of all 216 MC cases, 17 developing and 10 disappearing cases were detected. Anthranoid laxative use was a key factor: 29.4% of the developing cases had used such agents before the initial MC diagnosis, whereas 40% of disappearing cases had discontinued anthranoids prior to detection of MC disappearance. Among 70 grade I cases, progression to grade II occurred in 16 cases during a mean follow-up of 3.67±2.1 years (rate of progression=22.8%). Males more commonly showed progressive than stable grade I cases, and the probability of progression was higher for male than for female cases. An association between anthranoid administration and MC presence was presumed, and grade I MC was found to progress in severity over 5 years. |

| Abstract | Novel deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) reportedly changes the image quality characteristics based on object contrast and image noise. In clinical practice, computed tomography image noise is usually controlled by tube current modulation (TCM) to accommodate changes in object size. This study aimed to evaluate the image quality characteristics of DLIR for different object sizes when the in-plane noise was controlled by TCM. Images acquisition was performed on a GE Revolution CT system to investigate the impact of the DLIR algorithm compared to the standard reconstructions of filtered-back projection (FBP) and hybrid iterative reconstruction (hybrid-IR). The image quality assessment was performed using phantom images, and an observer study was conducted using clinical cases. The image quality assessment confirmed the excellent noise- reduction performance of DLIR, despite variations due to phantom size. Similarly, in the observer study, DLIR received high evaluations regardless of the body parts imaged. We evaluated a novel DLIR algorithm by replicating clinical behaviors. Consequently, DLIR exhibited higher image quality than those of FBP and hybrid-IR in both phantom and observer studies, albeit the value depended on the reconstruction strength, and proved itself capable of providing stable image quality in clinical use. |

| Abstract | Systemic therapy for stage IV breast cancer is usually an initial treatment and is based on findings regarding biomarkers (e.g., hormone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 [HER2]). However, the response to therapy and outcomes sometime differ among patients with similar prognostic factors including grade, hormone receptor, HER2, and more. We conducted retrospective analyses to evaluate the correlations between the overall survival (OS) of 46 stage IV breast cancer patients and (i) the peripheral absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and (ii) composite blood cell markers. The peripheral blood cell markers included the neutrophil- to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and the most recently introduced indicator, the pan-immune-inflammatory value (PIV). The SIRI and PIV showed prognostic impacts on the patients: those with a low SIRI or a low PIV showed significantly better OS than those with a high SIRI (5-year, 66.0% vs. 35.0%, p<0.05) or high PIV (5-year, 68.1% vs. 38.5%, p<0.05), respectively. This is the first report indicating the possible prognostic value of the PIV for OS in patients with stage IV breast cancer. Further studies with larger numbers of patients are necessary for further clarification. |

| Abstract | The SHRSP5/Dmcr is a useful animal model for the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) pathology when fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet, and further drug interventions can lead to concomitant cardiovascular disease. While SHRSP5/Dmcr rats have been used for basic research related to NASH, details of their bile acid metabolism in this condition are unknown. In this study, we aimed to clarify the changes in the serum bile acid (BA) fractions associated with NASH and found that glycine-conjugated and unconjugated bile acid increased with worsening NASH and cardiovascular disease while taurine-conjugated BA relatively decreased. |

| Abstract | We measured the muscle mass and phase angle of each body part to evaluate the relationship between balance and gait functions in individuals with a pre-frailty status. This cross-sectional observational study determined the skeletal muscle mass-to-body weight ratio and phase angles of 21 control (robust) and 29 pre-frail subjects. Their Brief-Balance Evaluation Systems Test, Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) test, Life-Space Assessment, and Modified Fall Efficacy Scale scores plus the relationship between muscle mass, phase angle, and motor function were evaluated. In the pre-frailty group (three males, 26 females, aged 75.58±7.60 years), significant correlations were noted between the Brief-Balance Evaluation Systems Test score and lower-limb (r=0.614) and wholebody (r=0.557) phase angles, and between the TUG test score and lower-limb muscle mass-to-body weight ratio (r=−0.616), lower-limb phase angle (r=−0.616), and whole-body phase angle (r=−0.527). Evaluating the phase angle of the lower extremities of pre-frail patients and intervening accordingly may help clinicians maintain and improve these patients’ balance and gait functions. |
