| Abstract | A three-year-old boy with Philadelphia chromosome-positive B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (Ph+ALL) presented with an osteolytic lesion in his right upper arm. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) such as imatinib and dasatinib are an essential component throughout the course of treatment for Ph+ALL. However, TKIs are reported to affect the bone metabolism. In the treatment course of the current patient, the osteolytic lesion quickly improved despite the continuous use of TKIs, even during the concomitant use of corticosteroids. This suggests that TKIs can be safely given with concomitant corticosteroids to children with Ph+ALL, even when osteolytic lesions are present. |

| Abstract | A 23-year-old woman presented with a 1-month history of visual abnormalities in her right eye. A visual field test revealed temporal abnormalities in the right eye. Optical coherence tomography revealed an indistinct ellipsoid zone (EZ) on the B-scan image and hyporeflective areas in the EZ layer on the en face image in the right eye. We diagnosed the patient with acute zonal occult outer retinopathy. Visual field tests and B-scan images improved to almost normal at 6 months, but hyporeflective areas remained on the en face images. Thus, en face images may be more sensitive at detecting abnormalities in the outer retina than other modalities. |

| Abstract | Intramural esophageal dissection (IED), characterized by bleeding into the submucosal space, leads to mucosal separation and dissection. The most prevalent symptoms are sudden chest or retrosternal pain, hematemesis, and dysphagia. Therefore, acute coronary syndrome and aortic dissection are among its most notable differential diagnoses. A 31-year-old pregnant woman presented with acute chest pain, laryngeal discomfort, and hematemesis. Emergency esophagogastroscopy revealed longitudinal mucosal dissection (upper esophagus to esophagogastric junction). The patient was successfully treated by avoiding the ingestion of solid foods. Clinicians should consider a diagnosis of IED for pregnant patients with acute chest pain, especially if hematemesis is present. |

| Abstract | We report a case of a patient with severe pelvic fracture who showed concurrent ST elevation on electrocardiogram. A 70-year-old man incurred an unstable pelvic fracture from a motorcycle accident. On admission, he was hemodynamically unstable, and massive transfusion and noradrenaline were administered immediately. Although ST elevation was present in leads II, III, aVF, V5, and V6, cardiac function was preserved; thus, trans-arterial embolization and external fixation for pelvic fracture were given priority. Four days after the injury, he suffered a cardiac arrest, and coronary angiography revealed that the cause of ST elevation and cardiac arrest was coronary vasospasm. Physicians should be aware that pain-related stress and platelet activation as well as use of noradrenaline in severe trauma cases can induce coronary vasospasm. |

| Abstract | The aim of our study was to determine whether the immunohistochemical expression of placental vitamin D receptors is altered in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia. Vitamin D receptor expression was immunohistochemically analysed in the placentas of three groups: a control group, and early- and late-onset preeclampsia groups. Total immunohistochemical intensity staining of placentas showed that the control group had a median vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression significantly higher than the placentas of mothers with early- and late-onset preeclampsia. There was no difference among the three groups in a semiquantitative analysis of VDR staining of the stroma only. Vitamin D receptors showed lower median expression in preeclampsia-affected pregnancies, especially early-onset preeclampsia. Therefore, Vitamin D receptor expression may be an important marker for normal placentation and preeclampsia onset. |

| Abstract | This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of force-controlled pelvic stress radiographs in the evaluation and treatment of fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP) using a functional treatment strategy. We conducted a retrospective study of 55 geriatric patients with FFP who underwent pelvic stress radiographs on admission. The differences in the sacral width, pelvic ring width, and medial femoral head width between the radiographs with and without the Sam Sling II M size were defined as Δ sacral width, Δ pelvic ring width, and Δ medial femoral head width, respectively. We used Pearson’s correlation test to assess the relationship between the degree of radiographic instability and the Johns Hopkins highest level of mobility scale (JH-HLM) at 10-days postadmission. Conventional receiver-operating-characteristic curve analysis was used to identify cases requiring surgery using the best cutoff value for radiographic instability. The JH-HLM was significantly correlated with Δ sacral width (r=−0.401, p=0.017), but not with Δ pelvic ring width (r=−0.298, p=0.080) nor with Δ medial femoral head width (r= −0.261, p=0.128). The best cutoff value of Δ sacral width in identifying surgical cases was 10.7 mm (sensitivity 75.0%, specificity 98.0%). Force-controlled pelvic stress radiographs could be helpful in assessing the need for surgery on admission. |

| Abstract | We investigated the relationship between serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels and psychopathological symptoms, clinical and socio-demographic characteristics and antipsychotic therapy in individuals with schizophrenia. TNF-α levels were measured in 90 patients with schizophrenia and 90 healthy controls matched by age, gender, smoking status, and body mass index. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess the severity of psychopathology in patients. No significant differences in TNF-α levels were detected between the patients and controls (p=0.736). TNF-α levels were not correlated with total, positive, negative, general, or composite PANSS scores (all p>0.05). A significant negative correlation was observed between TNF-α levels and the PANSS cognitive factor (ρ=−0.222, p=0.035). A hierarchical regression analysis identified the cognitive factor as a significant predictor of the TNF-α level (beta=−0.258, t=−2.257, p=0.027). There were no significant differences in TNF-α levels among patients treated with different types of antipsychotics (p=0.596). TNF-α levels correlated positively with the age of onset (ρ=0.233, p=0.027) and negatively with illness duration (ρ=−0.247, p=0.019) and antipsychotic treatment duration (ρ=−0.256, p=0.015). These results indicate that TNF-α may be involved in cognitive impairment in schizophrenia, and would be a potential clinical-state marker in schizophrenia. |

| Abstract | No epidemiological studies have examined the health effects of daily bathing in radon hot springs. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the associations between radon hot spring bathing and health conditions. The target population was 5,250 adults ≥ 20 years old in the town of Misasa, Japan. We collected information about the participants’ bathing habits and alleviation of a variety of disease symptoms, and their self-rated health (SRH). Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. In both the adjusted and unadjusted models of hypertension, significant associations between the > 1×/week hot spring bathing and the alleviation of hypertension symptoms were observed compared to the group whose hot spring bathing was <1×/week: adjusted model, OR 5.40 (95%CI: 1.98-14.74); unadjusted model, 3.67 (1.50-8.99) and for gastroenteritis: adjusted model, 9.18 (1.15-72.96); unadjusted model, 7.62 (1.59-36.49). Compared to the no-bathing group, higher SRH was significantly associated with both bathing < 1×/week: unadjusted model, 2.27 (1.53-3.37) and > 1×/week: adjusted model, 1.91 (1.15-3.19). These findings suggest that bathing in radon hot springs is associated with higher SRH and the alleviation of hypertension and gastroenteritis. |

| Abstract | Liver fibrosis is an important phenomenon in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression. Standard markers reflecting liver fibrosis, including the FIB-4 index, increase with age. This study aimed to identify fibrosis progression-related markers that are diagnostically beneficial even in aged individuals. Serum levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were measured by multiple enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Two standard NAFLD or fibrosis progression-related markers — the FIB-4 index and APRI score — were analyzed along with cytokine levels to define the best approach to discriminate advanced fibrosis. Ninety-eight NAFLD patients were enrolled: 59 and 39 patients with fibrosis stages 1-2 and 3-4 respectively. In addition to the FIB-4 index and APRI score, the following factors showed significant differences between stages 1-2 and stages 3-4 in a multivariate analysis: platelet counts, IP-10, and RANTES. The fibrosis stage, FIB-4, APRI, PDGF-BB, and RANTES were related to the prognosis. In aged patients, IP-10, GM-CSF, and RANTES differed between stages 1-2 and stages 3-4. FIB-4 and APRI were beneficial for their correlation with fibrosis. However, to stratify either young or elderly advanced fibrosis patients, and to identify patients likely to have a bad outcome, RANTES was the best marker. |

| Abstract | In recent publications on greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), the pathology receiving the most attention has been gluteus medius muscle tendinous injury, and surgical techniques such as gluteus medius tendon repair and their outcomes for GTPS have been reported. In our department-related facilities, arthroscopic surgeries are routinely performed for the patients with recalcitrant GTPS. A total of 51 patients were diagnosed with GTPS. Surgical treatment was carried out 22 patients (24 joints; 4 males and 18 females; mean age at surgery of 52.0 years). Arthroscopic findings confirmed bursitis in all 24 joints. In all cases, debridement of the greater trochanter bursa provided rapid relief of greater trochanter pain. The Numerical Rating Scale showed significant improvement, from the preoperative mean of 7.8 (range, 6-10) to the postoperative day 7 mean of 1.6 (range, 0-3). The modified Harris Hip Score was significantly improved from the preoperative mean of 65.5 (range, 52.5-78.3) to the final follow-up (average 2.9 months) mean of 96.0 (range, 85.2-100). Fascial damage of the gluteus medius muscle was observed in 21 joints while only 2 patients had a gluteus medius tendinous injury. Greater trochanteric bursitis and fascia or muscle-fiber injury of the gluteus medius muscle are the most common pathologies in patients with lateral hip pain. |

| Abstract | Congenital heart disease is the most common malformative pathology in newborns, with a worldwide incidence at 0.4-5%. We investigated the possible relationship between variations in nucleotide sequences and specific cardiac malformations in the GATA-binding factor 4 (GATA4) exon 1 region by using Sanger sequencing. Forty-four newborns from a third-level neonatal intensive care unit who were diagnosed with nonsyndromic, ductal-dependent congenital heart disease (i.e., transposition of the great arteries or ductal-dependent coarctation of the aorta) were enrolled. Their DNA was extracted using commercial methods and tested using the multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) technique. The Sanger sequencing for GATA4 exon 1 in the newborns’ DNA identified rs61277615, rs73203482, and rs35813172 variants not reported in the ClinVar archive of human variations in newborns previously diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries (n=5) and coarctation of the aorta (n=1). The identification of these novel variants in newborns with transposition of the great arteries or ductal-dependent coarctation of the aorta may be the first step in determining the variants’ contribution to the occurrence of congenital heart disease. However, these results may be inconclusive, since the observed variants within GATA4 gene were not previously reported. |

| Abstract | Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is a safe method of treating neuropathic pain by generating intermittent electric fields at the needle tip. Resiniferatoxin (RTX) is an ultrapotent agonist of transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype-1 (TRPV1) receptors. We investigated the mechanism of PRF using a rat model of RTX-induced neuropathic pain. After administering RTX intraperitoneally, PRF was applied to the right sciatic nerve. We observed the changes in TRPV1, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the dorsal root ganglia by western blotting. Expressions of TRPV1 and CGRP were significantly lower in the contralateral (RTX-treated, PRF-untreated) tissue than in control rats (p<0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively) and the ipsilateral tissues (p<0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively). BDNF levels were significantly higher in the contralateral tissues than in the control rats (p<0.0001) and the ipsilateral tissues (p<0.0001). These results suggest that, while TRPV1 and CGRP are decreased by RTX-induced neuronal damage, increased BDNF levels result in pain development. PRF may promote recovery from neuronal damage with concomitant restoration of TRPV1 and CGRP, and exert its analgesic effect by reversing BDNF increase. Further research is required to understand the role of TRPV1 and CGRP restoration in improving mechanical allodynia. |

| Abstract | The feasibility of lymphocyte isolation and flow cytometry using a single endoscopic biopsy specimen from the gastrointestinal tract of patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has not been investigated. We acquired 51 endoscopic biopsy specimens from the gastrointestinal tract of 35 patients. We divided the flow cytometry samples into two groups: group A, successful lymphocyte isolation (n=24), and group B, incomplete isolation (n=27). We compared the backgrounds of the samples between the groups to reveal crucial elements in the successful isolation of lymphocytes residing in the gastrointestinal tract. Comparison between the groups revealed lymphocyte isolation success rates differed between biopsy sites. Isolation was most successful in samples from the duodenum (8/9, 88.9%), followed by the ileum (4/8, 50.0%), large intestine (4/11, 36.4%), and stomach (8/23, 34.8%). Tacrolimus was used more frequently in group B (92.6%) than in group A (62.5%) (p=0.015). Logistic regression analysis revealed that isolation from the duodenum or ileum was a significant factor for successful isolation, while tacrolimus use was not statistically significant. In conclusion, the duodenum and ileum are more suitable sites than the stomach and colorectum for acquiring samples for flow cytometry. |

| Abstract | Hepatitis B virus is a pathogenic virus that infects 300 million people worldwide and causes chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatitis B virus encodes four proteins. Among them, the HBx protein plays a central role in the HBV pathogenesis. Because the HBx protein is considered to play a central role in the induction of viral replication and hepatocarcinogenesis, the regulation of its function could be a key factor in the development of new interventions against hepatitis B. In this review, HBx protein-related viral replication and hepatocarcinogenesis mechanisms are described, with a focus on the recently reported viral replication mechanisms related to degradation of the Smc5/6 protein complex. We also discuss our recent discovery of a compound that inhibits HBx protein-induced degradation of the Smc5/6 protein complex, and that exerts inhibitory effects on both viral replication and hepatocarcinogenesis. Finally, prospects for future research on the HBx protein are described. |
