抄録 We analyzed the treatment effects of chidamide and decitabine in combination with a HAG (homoharringtonine, cytarabine, G-CSF) priming regimen (CDHAG) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with TP53 mutation. Seven TP53 mutated AML patients were treated with CDHAG. The treatment effects were assessed using hemogram detection and bone marrow aspirate. The possible side effects were evaluated based on both hematological and non-hematological toxicity. Four of the seven patients were classified as having achieved complete remission after CDHAG treatment; one patient was considered to have achieved partial remission, and the remaining two patients were considered in non-remission. The overall response rate (ORR) to CDHAG was 71.4%. Regarding the side effects, the hematological toxicity level of the seven patients ranged from level III to level IV, and infections that occurred at lung, blood, and skin were recorded. Nausea, vomiting, liver injury, and kidney injury were also detected. However, all side effects were attenuated by proper management. The CDHAG regimen clearly improved the ORR (71.4%) of TP53-mutated AML patients, with no severe side effects.

抄録 High-dose steroids are required for the treatment of minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS), especially for episodes of recurrence. Predicting and avoiding recurrence can help reduce the steroid dose, but prediction is currently difficult. We herein examined whether changes in laboratory data, especially the urinary protein- to-creatinine ratio (UTP/UCr), can predict clinical recurrence. We also assessed differences in clinical features between children and young adults. We included 36 patients with MCNS; for each case, we retrospectively studied laboratory data during stable remission and pre-recurrence, with the “stable” period defined as all but the 6 weeks before recurrence, and pre-recurrence defined as the 4±2 weeks before recurrence. UTP/UCr, serum albumin, etc. were measured every 5 years during stable periods. We divided patients into cohorts by age at recurrence, < 15 years and ≥ 15 years, and compared stable and pre-recurrence values for the two groups. UTP/UCr values during stable periods tended to be higher in younger patients. UTP/UCr and serum albumin showed statistically significant changes during pre-recurrence periods, but only in those aged ≥ 15 years. Thus, clinical features of recurrence differed depending on age. Signs of recurrence can be confirmed via UTP/UCr or serum albumin several weeks before recurrence in patients ≥ 15 years.

抄録 Trace elements selenium (Se) and cobalt (Co) are essential in the human body, and a correlation between Se and cardiac surgery has been suggested. We investigated the plasma concentrations of Se and Co during and after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). From December 2019 to January 2020, preoperative plasma samples from isolated first-time CABG patients (n=20; 10 males, 10 females) were prospectively collected post-anesthesia and before CPB (T1), 45 min after CPB started (T2), 90 min after CPB started (T3), and postoperative days 1 (T4), and day 4 (T5). The plasma concentrations of Se and Co were measured. The Se concentration was significantly decreased at T2 (105.24±4.08 vs. 68.56±2.42 μg/L, p<0.001) and T3 (105.24±4.08 vs. 80.41±3.40 μg/L, p<0.001). The Co concentration was significantly decreased at T4 (0.35±0.19 vs. 0.26±0.13 μg/L, p<0.01) and T5 (0.35±0.19 vs. 0.23±0.11 μg/L, p<0.001). Five patients developed atrial fibrillation (AF); there was no other operative mortality or major morbidity. This is the first report of alterations of plasma Se and Co concentrations during and after CABG surgery. Our results may indicate that Se supplementation before or during CABG and Co supplementation after CABG may become necessary for patients undergoing CABG.

抄録 The apparent diffusion coefficient subtraction method (ASM) was developed as a new restricted diffusionweighted imaging technique for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The usefulness of the ASM has been established by in vitro basic research using a bio-phantom, and clinical research on the application of the ASM for the human body is needed. Herein, we developed a short-time sequence for ASM imaging of the heads of healthy volunteers (n=2), and we investigated the similarity between the obtained ASM images and diffusion kurtosis (DK) images to determine the utility of the ASM for clinical uses. This study appears to be the first to report ASM images of the human head. We observed that the short-time sequence for the ASM imaging of the head can be scanned in approx. 3 min at 1.5T MRI. The noise reduction effect of median filter processing was confirmed on the ASM images scanned by this sequence. The obtained ASM images showed a weak correlation with the DK images, indicating that the ASM images are restricted diffusion-weighted images. The new shorttime imaging sequence could thus be used in clinical studies applying the ASM.

抄録 R-CHOP therapy is generally performed every 3 weeks. We investigated the effects of extending the interval of R-CHOP therapy for > 1 week on the prognoses of patients with non-indolent non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphoma. Among the 338 patients with non-indolent non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphoma who received initial chemotherapy at our institution, we focused on 178 patients who received R-CHOP therapy and analyzed the outcomes of the patients stratified by the treatment intervals. The estimated 3-year overall survival (OS) for the entire population was 82.1%. Patients treated at intervals of ≥ 4 weeks were significantly older, and they had significantly longer follow-up periods and lower relative dose intensity. But the estimated 3-year OS was comparable to those treated at <4 weeks (83.3% vs. 80.5% p=0.947). In a multivariate analysis, age and the dose of anti-cancer agents had significant impacts on OS, but there was no significant relationship regarding the treatment intervals. Propensity score matching confirmed the same result. R-CHOP therapy every around 4 weeks could achieve relatively good survival in some selected patients with non-indolent non-Hodgkin’s B-cell lymphoma.

抄録 Optogenetics, a technology to manipulate biological phenomena thorough light, has attracted much attention in neuroscience. Recently, the Magnet System, a photo-inducible protein dimerization system which can control the intracellular behavior of various biomolecules with high accuracy using light was developed. Furthermore, photoactivation systems for controlling biological phenomena are being developed by combining this technique with genome-editing technology (CRISPR/Cas9 System) or DNA recombination technology (Cre-loxP system). Herein, we review the history of optogenetics and the latest Magnet System technology and introduce our recently developed photoactivatable Cre knock-in mice with temporal-, spatial-, and cell-specific accuracy.

抄録 Pulmonary enteric adenocarcinoma (PEAC) is a rare subtype of lung cancer that should be differentiated from colorectal cancer metastasis. Little is known about its genetic background. An 84-year-old male with adenocarcinoma of the lung underwent left upper lobectomy. The histology of the surgical specimen was suggestive of PEAC. Gastrointestinal and colorectal fiberscopy revealed no evidence of colorectal cancer. Next-generation sequencing of the tumor identified a G469V substitution in serine/threonine-protein kinase B-raf (BRAF). Based on the higher prevalence of the G469 substitution in BRAF-mutant lung adenocarcinoma than in BRAFmutant colorectal cancer, the tumor likely originated from the lung. Identification of mutational genotype may be of some help in distinguishing PEAC from the lung metastasis of colorectal cancer.

抄録 NIPT is non-definitive testing to estimate the possibility that fetuses have trisomy 21, trisomy 18, or trisomy 13. However, in NIPT-positive and indeterminate cases, rare chromosomal disease may become apparent, requiring advanced genetic considerations and counseling skills. We experienced two such cases, a trisomy 21 mosaicism case triggered by NIPT-positive status and 18q deletion syndrome triggered by NIPT-indeterminate status. These cases have two clinical implications for NIPT. First, it was revealed that trisomy mosaicism might be found in NIPT-positive cases that have lower Z-Scores than those inferred from the fraction of fetal cfDNA in the case of standard trisomy. Second, it is possible that microdeletion syndrome could be the reason for an indeterminate NIPT result. Today’s genetic counseling requires more expertise in ethics and communication as well as genetic science because NIPT can lead to totally unexpected results.

抄録 A 65-year-old man presented with a 1-week history of left eye distortion. An elevated choroidal lesion covering 6 disc diameters was found in the posterior retina of the left eye. Systemic examination revealed sublingual gland carcinoma and multiple lung metastases, and the diagnosis was choroidal metastasis from sublingual gland carcinoma. Following chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the choroidal lesion shrunk and the patient’s visual acuity improved. The patient died 23 months after his first visit. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of choroidal metastasis from sublingual gland carcinoma.

抄録 The long-term changes in tissues implanted in the oral cavity and pharynx after head and neck reconstruction have not been fully evaluated. This study aimed to clarify the morphological changes, long-term durability, and potential for secondary carcinogenesis in such tissues. In our single-center study, the rough morphological changes in 54 cases of intraoral and pharyngeal skin and mucosal flaps were evaluated more than 10 years after flap transfer. In addition, the literature on the development of second carcinomas from skin flaps was reviewed. The mean follow-up period for transferred flaps was 148 months. The reconstruction areas and the probability of morphological changes were significantly correlated (p=0.006), especially in cases with tongue, lower gingiva, and buccal mucosal reconstruction. Free jejunal flap surfaces were well maintained, whereas tubed skin flaps showed severe morphological changes in cases with pharyngeal reconstruction. None of the flaps in our series developed second primary carcinomas. Skin flaps generally had good durability for > 10 years in intraoral environments, while mucosal flaps had better durability for pharyngeal reconstruction. Second squamous carcinomas arising from skin flaps are extremely rare; however, surgeons should take this possibility into consideration and conduct meticulous and long-term follow-up.

抄録 Differentiating patients by age and causative bacterial morphology might aid in making the appropriate choice of antimicrobial agent when treating acute uncomplicated cystitis. In this retrospective analysis, the non-susceptibility rates of the causative bacteria to cefcapene-pivoxil (CFPN-PI) and levofloxacin (LVFX) were determined after dividing patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis by age group (15-54 and 55-74 years old) and by bacterial morphology: gram-positive cocci (GPC) or gram-negative rod (GNR). The overall non-susceptibility rates for CFPN-PI and LVFX were 19.4% and 15.3%, respectively. When the subjects were divided by age, only the non-susceptibility rate for LVFX in the younger group significantly decreased (to 8.7%). When the groups were divided by both age and bacterial morphology, the younger GNR group had non-susceptibility rates of 6.9% to CFPN-PI and 7.8% to LVFX, whereas the younger GPC group showed 10.2% non-susceptibility to LVFX. The older GNR group showed 9.8% non-susceptibility to CFPN-PI, while the older GPC group showed 7.2% non-susceptibility to LVFX. All the non-susceptibility rates were lower than 10.2% in the sub-divided groups. Differentiating patients by age and the morphology of causative bacteria can aid in making the appropriate choice of antimicrobial agent and may improve treatment outcomes in patients with acute uncomplicated cystitis.

抄録 Optimal neoadjuvant hormone therapy (NHT) for reducing prostate cancer (PC) patients’ prostate volume pre-brachytherapy is controversial. We evaluated the differential impact of neoadjuvant gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist versus agonist on post-brachytherapy testosterone recovery in 112 patients treated pre-brachytherapy with NHT (GnRH antagonist, n=32; GnRH agonists, n=80) (Jan. 2007-June 2019). We assessed the effects of patient characteristics and a GnRH analogue on testosterone recovery with logistic regression and a propensity score analysis (PSA). There was no significant difference in the rate of testosterone recovery to normal levels (> 300 ng/dL) between the GnRH antagonist and agonists (p=0.07). The GnRH agonists induced a significantly more rapid testosterone recovery rate at 3 months post-brachytherapy versus the GnRH antagonist (p<0.0001); there was no difference in testosterone recovery at 12 months between the GnRH antagonist/agonists (p=0.8). In the multivariate analysis, no actor was associated with testosterone recovery. In the PSA, older age and higher body mass index (BMI) were significantly associated with longer testosterone recovery. Post-brachytherapy testosterone recovery was quicker with the neoadjuvant GnRH agonists than the antagonist, and the testosterone recovery rate was significantly associated with older age and higher BMI. Long-term follow-ups are needed to determine any differential effects of GnRH analogues on the quality of life of brachytherapy-treated PC patients.

抄録 Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) is one of the side effects associated with glucocorticoid (GC) therapy. In 2014, the Japanese Society for Bone and Mineral Research (JSBMR) provided new guidelines for the management and treatment of GIOP. The aim of the present study was to clarify the prevalence of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) requiring treatment according to the new guidelines and to identify risk factors associated with lack of treatment in these patients. Patients in the 2018 Akita Orthopedic group on Rheumatoid Arthritis (AORA) database were enrolled. Of 2,234 patients with RA in the database, 683 (30.6%) met the 2014 JSBMR guideline treatment criteria, and 480 (70.3%) had been treated. The untreated group included a larger number of males, younger patients, and patients treated in clinics rather than hospital (p<0.001, p=0.015, and p<0.001, respectively). Multivariate analyses found that male sex, younger age, and clinic-based RA care were significant risk factors associated with lack of treatment (p<0.001, p=0.013, and p<0.001, respectively). Thus, male sex, younger age, and clinic-based care were identified as risk factors

抄録 Extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion is important for embryo implantation, placental development, and successful remodeling of the uterine spiral artery. Endocrine gland derived-vascular endothelial growth factor (EG-VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in EVT invasion; however, the high con-centrations found in pregnancy pathologies have not been investigated in non-tumor trophoblasts. The roles of EG-VEGF, prokineticin receptors (PROKR1/2), MMP-2, and MMP-9 in EVT invasion during spiral artery remodeling were evaluated using human EVT from HTR-8/SVneo cell lines. The expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and Akt pathways in HTR-8/SVneo cells treated with recom-binant EG-VEGF alongside anti-PROKR1 and/or anti-PROKR2 antibodies was evaluated using quantitative reverse transcription-PCR and western blotting. Wound-healing and cell invasion assays were performed to assess the migration and invasion of these treated cells. Interestingly, 20 nM EG-VEGF activated ERK1/2 sig-naling and upregulated MMP-2 and MMP-9. This effect was suppressed by anti-PROKR2 antibody via ERK1/2 downregulation. Anti-PROKR2 antibody inhibited the migration and invasion of EG-VEGF-stimulated HTR-8/SVneo cells. Elevated concentrations of EG-VEGF enhance EVT invasion in a human trophoblast cell line by upregulating MMP-2 and MMP-9 via PROKR2. These new insights into the regulation of epithelial cell invasion may help in developing therapeutic interventions for placental-related diseases during pregnancy.

抄録 Histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG) is a 75 kDa plasma protein that is synthesized in the liver of many verte-brates and present in their plasma at relatively high concentrations of 100-150 μg/mL. HRG is an abundant and well-characterized protein having a multidomain structure that enable it to interact with many ligands, func-tion as an adaptor molecule, and participate in numerous physiological and pathological processes. As a plasma protein, HRG has been reported to regulate vascular biology, including coagulation, fibrinolysis and angiogenesis, through its binding with several ligands (heparin, FXII, fibrinogen, thrombospondin, and plas-minogen) and interaction with many types of cells (endothelial cells, erythrocytes, neutrophils and platelets). This review aims to summarize the roles of HRG in maintaining vascular homeostasis and regulating angiogen-esis in various pathological conditions.

抄録 The aim of this report is to introduce an on-going, multicenter, randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether tailored antimicrobial prophylaxis guided by rectal culture screening prevents acute bacterial prostatitis following transrectal prostate biopsy (TRPB). Patients will be randomized into an intervention or non-intervention group; tazobactam-piperacillin or levofloxacin will be prophylactically administered according to the results of rectal culture prior to TRPB in the intervention group whereas levofloxacin will be routinely given in the non-intervention group. The primary endpoint is the occurrence rate of acute bacterial prostatitis after TRPB. Recruitment begins in April, 2021 and the target total sample size is 5,100 participants.

抄録 Sacral schwannoma is a rare tumor with relatively few symptoms; it thus tends to be large at diagnosis and is challenging to treat surgically. We present the case of a 12-year-old girl with a large sacral schwannoma that was successfully surgically resected using O-arm navigation in a two-stage operation. First, we performed tumor resection from the posterior aspect with assisted O-arm navigation. One week later, resection from the anterior aspect was conducted with posterior spinopelvic fixation and fibula graft. We performed partial resection of the tumor from the anterior and posterior aspects as much as possible. O-arm navigation contributed to precise and safe tumor resection and implant insertion.
