Abstract
We retrospectively analyzed 38 patients with AML who received azacitidine (AZA) to treat disease relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Patients with objective response (OR) (n = 20) after AZA had significantly higher 2-year overall survival (OS) (45.0% vs 5.6%; p = 0.004) than progressive disease. The 2-year OS was significantly higher in the retransplant group (n = 23) than in the nonretransplant group (n = 15) (34.8% vs 13.3%; p = 0.034). We analyzed 167 patients who underwent the second allo-HSCT to clarify the impact of pretransplant AZA after the second allo-HSCT. Patients in the AZA group (n = 21) had significantly higher 2-year disease-free survival (DFS) (32.7% vs 14.5%; p = 0.012) and OS (38.1% vs 17.5%; p = 0.044) than those in the SOC group (n = 146). Our data demonstrate that AZA is an effective and well-tolerated bridging therapy to the second allo-HSCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation is a key treatment option for hematological diseases and is widely performed in clinical practice. Platelet loss is one of the major complications of PBSC apheresis, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) return is considered in case of platelet decrease following apheresis; however, little is known about the frequency and severity of platelet loss and the efficacy of PRP return postapheresis. METHODS We assessed changes in platelet counts following PBSC-related apheresis in 270 allogeneic (allo)- and 105 autologous (auto)-PBSC settings. We also evaluated the efficacy of PRP transfusion on platelet recovery postapheresis. RESULTS In both allo- and auto-PBSC settings, the preapheresis platelet count (range, 84-385 and 33-558 × 109 /L, respectively) decreased postapheresis (range, 57-292 and 20-429 × 109 /L, respectively), whereas severe platelet decrease (<50 × 109 /L) was only observed in auto-PBSC patients (n = 9). We confirmed that platelet count before apheresis was a risk factor for severe platelet decrease (<50 × 109 /L) following auto-PBSC apheresis (odds ratio 0.749, P < .049). PRP return postapheresis facilitated platelet recovery in more than 80% of cases in both allo and auto settings. CONCLUSION Lower platelet count preapheresis is a useful predictor of severe platelet decrease following auto-PBSC apheresis and PRP return is an effective process to facilitate platelet recovery postapheresis.

Abstract
Background:Methotrexate (MTX) is the first-line therapy for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The concentrations of MTX-polyglutamates (PG) in erythrocytes, an active form of MTX, are useful markers for the optimal usage of MTX in patients with RA. The concentrations of MTX-PG have been reported to be different between Japanese and Caucasians. However, the difference among Asian ethnicity remains unclear.Objectives:To examine MTX-PG concentrations in association with MTX dose during the first 24 weeks after the initiation of MTX for newly diagnosed RA patients in Japan, Korea and Taiwan.Methods:MIRACLE study is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, 48 weeks interventional study conducted in Japan, Korea and Taiwan to evaluate non-inferiority of low dose to high dose of MTX as an add-on therapy to adalimumab in 300 patients with RA who do not achieve remission after 24 weeks MTX monotherapy in stipulated dosage. In the first 24 weeks, MTX was started at 6 to 8 mg/week for newly diagnosed RA patients, and promptly escalated to the maximum tolerable dose in 12 weeks in principle. This interim data evaluation was intended to investigate the differences among countries in the relationship between MTX dose, safety and MTX-PG concentrations in erythrocytes during the first 24 weeks. The efficacy of the treatment is not included at this point.Results:A total of 166 patients (106 in Japan, 35 in Korea, 25 in Taiwan) were included in this interim data. The age at treatment initiation was 57.2 years old on average and female was 79.5%. The time course changes in total and individual MTX-PG levels differed in the three countries. At 24 weeks, whereas the mean total MTX-PG concentrations were comparable (112.9 nmol/L in Japan, 104.4 nmol/L in Korea, and 115.7 nmol/L in Taiwan) with a dose of MTX of 12.3 mg/week, 14.1 mg/week, and 12.2 mg/week, respectively, the individual MTX-PG concentrations were different. The MTX-PG1 and MTX-PG2 concentrations were lower in Korea than Japan and Taiwan whereas MTX-PG3, MTX-PG4 and MTX-PG5 concentrations were the highest in Korea.Conclusion:The distribution of short-chain and long-chain MTX-PG concentrations were various among Asian countries despite similar dose of MTX administration: NCT03505008.Disclosure of Interests:Hiroya Tamai: None declared, Yuko Kaneko Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Astellas, Ayumi, Bristol–Myers Squibb, Chugai, Eisai, Eli Lilly, Hisamitsu, Jansen, Kissei, Kirin, Pfizer, Sanofi, Takeda, Tanabe-Mitsubishi, and UCB., Grant/research support from: Sanofi, Hideto Kameda Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Pfizer, Consultant of: AbbVie, Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Eisai, Masataka Kuwana Speakers bureau: Astellas, Asahi Kasei Pharma, Boehringer- Ingelheim, Chugai, Eisai, Janssen, Mochida, Nippon Shinyaku, Ono Pharmaceuticals, Pfizer, Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Consultant of: Corbus, Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Asahi Kasei Pharma, Boehringer- Ingelheim, Chugai, Eisai, MBL, Nippon Shinyaku, Ono Pharmaceuticals, Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Yutaka Okano: None declared, Tomonori Ishii Speakers bureau: Chugai, Mitsubishi- Tanabe, Glaxo Smith Kline, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Janssen, AbbVie, Eisai, Astellas, Kei Ikeda Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Eisai, BMS, Grant/research support from: Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Hiroaki Taguchi: None declared, Shinji Sato: None declared, Toshiaki Miyamoto: None declared, Shintaro Hirata Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Asahi Kasei Pharma, Astellas, Ayumi, Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai, Eisai, Eli Lilly, Janssen, Glaxo Smith Kline, Kissei, Pfizer, Sanofi, Mitsubishi- Tanabe, UCB, Paid instructor for: AbbVie, Mitsubishi- Tanabe, Consultant of: AbbVie, Eisai, Gilead, Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Chugai, Mitsubishi-Tanabe, UCB, Hidekata Yasuoka Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Asahi Kasei Pharma, Astellas, Daiichi- Sankyo, Eisai, Kissei, Takeda, Mitsubishi- Tanabe, Chugai, Novartis, Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Janssen, Sanofi, Teijin, Boehringer- Ingelheim, Bayer, Glaxo Smith Kline, Paid instructor for: AbbVie, Consultant of: AbbVie, Asahi Kasei, Grant/research support from: Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Takeda, Daiichi-Sankyo, Chugai, Bristol-Myers, MSD, Astellas, Toshihisa Kojima Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Pfizer, Eisai, Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Sung-Hwan Park: None declared, Kichul Shin: None declared, Han Joo Baek: None declared, Yun Jong Lee Grant/research support from: research fund, In Ah Choi Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Eizai, Grant/research support from: Abbvie, Eizai, Jinhyun Kim: None declared, Ping-Ning Hsu: None declared, Chang-Fu Kuo: None declared, Chun-Ming Huang Paid instructor for: AbbVie, Pfizer, Meng-Yu Weng Consultant of: AbbVie, Wan-Yu Sung: None declared, Wen-Chan Tsai: None declared, Tien-Tsai Cheng Paid instructor for: AbbVie, Grant/research support from: AbbVie, Takehiro Taninaga Shareholder of: Eisai Co., Ltd., Employee of: Eisai Co., Ltd., Masahiko Mori Shareholder of: Eisai Co., Ltd., Employee of: Eisai Co., Ltd., Hideaki Miyagishi Employee of: Eisai Co., Ltd., Yasunori Sato: None declared, Tsutomu Takeuchi Speakers bureau: Astellas, Abbvie, Daiichi Sankyo, Ayumi, Eisai, GlaxoSmithKline, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Chugai, Novartis, Eli Lilly, Pfizer, Bristol Myers Squibb, Janssen, UCB, TaishoToyama, Sanofi–Aventis, Nipponkayaku, Taiho, Gilead, Boehringer Ingelheim, Grant/research support from: Asahikasei, Astellas, Abbvie, Daiichi Sankyo, Ayumi, Eisai, Takeda, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Chugai, Eli Lilly, UCB, Sanofi–Aventis, Nipponkayaku, Boehringer Ingelheim

Abstract
Recently, the use of targeted synthetic or biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (ts/bDMARDs) in addition to conventional synthetic (cs)DMARDs including methotrexate (MTX) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has increased. However, whether ts/bDMARDs are associated with the development and clinicopathological features of MTX-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (MTX-LPD) in patients with RA remains unknown. Therefore, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of 121 patients with MTX-LPD. Results showed that prior use of ts/bDMARDs was not associated with the different histopathological subtypes of MTX-LPD. Patients with polymorphic-type LPD had a better event-free survival than those with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), classical Hodgkin lymphoma and peripheral T-cell lymphoma. The pathological subtype of lymphoma could predict the clinical outcome of MTX-LPD. In patients with DLBCL, the use of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors prior to MTX-LPD onset was associated with a higher non-relapse mortality. Further, patients with RA previously treated with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors more commonly required chemotherapy than those treated with csDMARDs alone, indicating disease aggressiveness. Hence, special caution should be observed when managing patients with MTX-LPD previously treated with JAK or TNF-α inhibitors for RA.

Abstract
ABSTRACT We evaluated the clinical characteristics of autoimmune manifestations (AIMs) associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) to elucidate whether AIMs impacted MDS outcomes in Japan.This retrospective study including 61 patients who received a new diagnosis of MDS between January 2008 and December 2015 was conducted by the review of electronic medical records for the presence of AIMs within a 1-year period prior to or following the diagnosis of MDS.AIMs were identified in 12 of the 61 (20.0%) patients with MDS. The neutrophil counts and C-reactive protein levels in peripheral blood were significantly elevated in patients with AIMs, and the survival was shorter in those with AIMs compared to those without AIMs. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the presence of AIMs and higher-risk disease according to the International Prognositic Scoring System (IPSS) were independent risk factors for increased mortality (hazard ratio, 4.76 and 4.79, respectively).This retrospective study revealed that the prognosis was poor in patients with MDS-associated AIMs. The treatment of MDS using the current algorithms is based on prognostic scoring systems such as IPSS. Treatment strategies for patients with MDS-associated AIMs should be reconsidered, even in those with low-risk MDS according to the IPSS.

Abstract
Objective For patients with Gaucher disease (GD), a rare, inherited lysosomal storage disease, obtaining a definitive diagnosis is currently time-consuming and costly. A simplified screening method to measure the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) activity using dried blood spots (DBS) on filter paper has recently been developed. Using this newly developed screening method, we evaluated real-world GD screening in patients suspected of having GD. Methods This multicenter, cross-sectional, observational study with a diagnostic intervention component evaluated real-world screening in patients suspected of having GD based on their clinical symptoms and a platelet count <120,000/μL. The endpoint was the number of patients with low GBA activity determined using DBS. Results In 994 patients who underwent initial DBS screening, 77 had low GBA activity. The assay was not repeated in 1 patient who was diagnosed as having a high possibility of GD due to clinical symptoms, and a further 21 patients completed the study without undergoing the second assay. Of the remaining 55 patients who had 2 DBS assays performed, 11 had a low GBA activity in both assays. Overall, DBS screening identified 12 (1.2%) patients with a low GBA activity, a proportion consistent with prior screening studies. Conclusion These results suggest that the simplified DBS method was less burdensome to patients, was easily utilized by many physicians, and could be a useful first-tier screening assay for GD prior to initiating burdensome genetic testing.

Abstract
Ultrafast electronic-phase change in solids by light, called photoinduced phase transition, is a central issue in the field of non-equilibrium quantum physics, which has been developed very recently. In most of those phenomena, charge or spin orders in an original phase are melted by photocarrier generations, while an ordered state is usually difficult to be created from a non-ordered state by a photoexcitation. Here, we demonstrate that a strong terahertz electric-field pulse changes a Mott insulator of an organic molecular compound in κ-(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl (ET = bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene), to a macroscopically polarized charge-order state; herein, electronic ferroelectricity is induced by the collective intermolecular charge transfers in each dimer. In contrast, in an isostructural compound, κ-(ET)2Cu2(CN)3, which shows the spin-liquid state at low temperatures, a similar polar charge order is not stabilized by the same terahertz pulse. From the comparative studies of terahertz-field-induced second-harmonic-generation and reflectivity changes in the two compounds, we suggest the possibility that a coupling of charge and spin degrees of freedom would play important roles in the stabilization of polar charge order.

Abstract
Retransplantation is the only curative treatment option for patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that has relapsed after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT); however, data in this setting remain scant. Hence, this multicenter, retrospective study aims to determine outcome predictors after retransplantation in relapsed ALL. We examined 55 recipients who underwent multiple allo-HCTs during 2006-2018. The 2-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and non-relapse mortality rates were 35.9%, 29.1%, and 23.6%, respectively. We observed a trend of better outcome in Ph + ALL (n = 22) patients compared with non-Ph ALL (n = 33) patients; the 2-year PFS was 40.9% versus 21.2%, indicating a beneficial effect of more potent second- or third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Univariate analysis revealed that late relapse after the previous transplant was the only significant predictor of better transplant outcome among Ph + ALL patients, whereas factors related to prolonged OS/PFS in non-Ph ALL patients were late relapse after the previous transplant, longer duration from disease relapse/progression to second or more allo-HCT, disease status at the transplantation, and good performance status. Nevertheless, further investigations are warranted to determine whether novel molecular-targeted agents with higher efficacy and fewer toxicities could exceed conventional chemotherapies as a bridging strategy to next allo-HCT and improve the outcomes of non-Ph ALL patients.

Abstract
Background
Despite sudden cardiac death (SCD) in working generation is a crucial issue in terms of public health, social and economic significance, the long-term SCD condition in working generation is unclear.
Purpose
This study aimed to clarify the features and long-term trends of SCD in working generation from 2005 through 2016 in Japan, using a prospective, nationwide, population based out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) registry.
Methods
We performed data analysis of the nation-wide registry in Japan who experienced OHCA during the 12 years. Working generation was defined as 20 to 69 years and we analyzed only definitive cardiogenic OHCA as an approximation of SCD.
Results
The number of definitive cardiogenic OHCA of working generation during the period was 66,214 and 31% of the events in whole population was working generation. Definitive cardiogenic OHCA in working generation in terms of both number and percentage of the population had been decreased from 6522 (0.07‰) in 2005 to 4910 (0.06‰) in 2016, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and usage of automated external defibrillator (AED) ratio increased from 32.7% in 2005 to 49.6% in 2016, and 0.3% in 2005 to 14.7% in 2016 respectively, and the survival rate after one-month improved year by year, from 12.8% in 2005 to 34.0% in 2016 (picture below). Among non-medical bystanders, CPR was most often performed by colleagues in this generation, while AED use rate by colleague was smaller, and the time from witness to initial defibrillation was significantly longer than by passerby. Good prognosis was observed in terms of one-month survival ratio and neurological outcome for those undergoing CPR by colleague and passerby compared with other bystanders. For 12 years, although the degree varies, all non-medical bystander had same tendency; bystander CPR and usage of AED ratio increased, and the survival rate after one-month and neurological outcome improved year by year.
Conclusions
Not only the number but the incidence of cardiogenic OHCA in working generation has been decreased in Japan. The positive prognosis of this generation may be related to CPR by colleagues.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Several report showed the association between ambient air pollution including particular matter under 2.5um (PM2.5) and increasing rate of hospitalization for heart failure. However, these report analyzed mainly cross-sectional, epidemiological data, thus the reports regarding association between vulnerability to PM2.5 and specific populations in acute heart failure (AHF) were scarce.
Purpose
1. To analyze the association between air pollution and rate of hospitalization for AHF
2. To analyze whether the vulnerability to air pollution differ between specific populations in AHF. Methods
A case-cross over analysis was conducted to 4980 consecutive patients registered for multicenter acute heart failure registry in 2017 in our city Japan. This registry enrolled patients transferred to cardiovascular care unit (80 institutions) via emergency medical services across our city area. Logistic regression analysis were conducted to estimate percentage changes in the rate of acute heart failure hospitalization associated with per 1μg/m3 PM2.5 concentration increase. We also conducted subgroup analysis for patients stratified by age, gender, comorbidities, left ventricular ejection fraction, and clinical scenario.
Results
An increase in 1 μg/m3 PM2.5 concentration corresponded to 2.9% (95% CI 1.2–4.6%) increase in AHF hospitalization. Patients with age younger than 75, without prior heart failure hospitalization, without history of hypertension, without anemia, and with reduced ejection fraction were more susceptible to increase in PM2.5 concentration (Figure).
Conclusions
Increase in PM2.5 concentration was associated with increased rate of AHF hospitalization. Effect of PM2.5 may differ across specific AHF subpopulations.

Abstract
A.R.R.O.W. evaluated the superiority of once-weekly carfilzomib plus dexamethasone (Kd) 20/70 mg/m2 vs. twice-weekly Kd 20/27 mg/m2 based on progression-free survival (PFS) in relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma patients. Forty Japanese patients (once-weekly arm, n = 26; twice-weekly arm, n = 14) were randomized in A.R.R.O.W. In the Japanese subgroup of A.R.R.O.W., median PFS was 14.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.5-not evaluable [NE]) and 9.7 months (95% CI, 3.8-NE) in the once- and twice-weekly arms, respectively. The overall response rate (ORR) was 73.1% (19/26; 95% CI, 52.2-88.4) and 57.1% (8/14; 95% CI, 28.9-82.3) in each arm. The adverse events (AEs) incidence was 100% in both arms. Grade ≥ 3 AE incidence was 80.8% (21/26) and 78.6% (11/14) in each arm. Two fatal treatment-related AEs (acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome) occurred in the once-weekly arm. In exploratory unadjusted analyses of A.R.R.O.W. (once-weekly Kd 20/70 mg/m2) vs. ENDEAVOR (twice-weekly Kd 20/56 mg/m2), median PFS was 14.8 months vs. NE due to not yet being reached, and ORR was 73.1% (19/26) vs. 42.9% (3/7). In the Japanese subgroup, once-weekly Kd tended to improve ORR vs. twice-weekly Kd. Results from A.R.R.O.W. tended to be consistent with results from ENDEAVOR.

Abstract
The impact of calcineurin inhibitor types and anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in conditioning on overall survival (OS) and GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) has not yet been analyzed in detail for aplastic anemia. We herein examined 517 adult patients with aplastic anemia who underwent BMT from HLA-matched sibling donors (MSD, n = 255) and unrelated donors (UD, n = 262) and were treated with cyclosporine A (CSA) + methotrexate (MTX) (n = 258) and tacrolimus (TAC) + MTX (n = 259). In total, 330 patients received ATG in conditioning. CSA + MTX versus TAC + MTX did not have a significant impact on acute and chronic GVHD, OS, or GRFS in each donor type. The use of ATG in conditioning reduced the risk of grade II-IV acute GVHD in the MSD and UD cohorts (HR 0.42, P = 0.014, and HR 0.3, P < 0.001, respectively); however, a differential impact on GRFS was identified, namely, better GRFS in MSD recipients (HR 0.56, P = 0.016), but not in UD recipients (HR 1.1, P = 0.657). In conclusion, CSA + MTX and TAC + MTX were similar as GVHD prophylaxis regardless of the donor type, and ATG in conditioning increased GRFS in MSD transplants, but not in UD transplants.

Abstract
BCR-ABL1-like acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a neoplasm of lymphoblasts committed to the B-cell lineage that lack the BCR-ABL1 translocation but show a pattern of gene expression very similar to that seen in ALL with BCR-ABL1 with poor prognosis. A 22-year-old female was diagnosed with common-B-cell-ALL positive for CD10, CD19, CD22, CD79a, CD34, HLA-DR, and TdT in January 2017, and achieved complete remission (CR) with induction therapy, followed by consolidation therapy and maintenance therapy. In March 2020, 6 months after the completion of maintenance therapy, she relapsed. Inotuzumab ozogamicin (IO) was administered, and on day 28, bone marrow evaluation showed a morphologic CR. She had an HLA-identical sibling, and transplantation in her 2nd CR was planned. Because her ALL had been identified as BCR-ABL1-like ALL with CCDC88C-PDGFRB fusion, she was treated with imatinib for 2 months accompanied by 2 intrathecal methotrexate therapies, and 1 course of L-asparaginase, vincristine, and prednisolone in an outpatient setting. MRD analysis revealed potent efficacy of 2 months imatinib therapy; IgH MRD decreased from 1 × 10-2 to 1 × 10-3, and CCDC88C-PDGFRB/104ABL from 37.3 to 0. It is earnestly desired that well-designed clinical trials of TKI in ABL class-mutant BCR-ABL1-like ALL be conducted in Japan.

Abstract
Total of 261 samples of fish and environmental samples (i.e. wash water, swabs of hand/
gloves of workers, fish contact surfaces i.e. knives, cutting boards and working tables)
were collected from two Pangasius processing factories (PPF1 and PPF2). A total of
seventy-one (71) isolates of Escherichia coli were selected to study the prevalence of
antibiotics resistance using disk agar diffusion method. Overall, it was determined that
61% (22/36) of PPF1 isolates were resistant except to colistin while 68.57% (24/35) of
PPF2 isolates were resistant except kanamycin. High resistance was against ampicillin in
both PPF1 and PPF2 isolates (47.22% and 42.86%), followed by cefotaxime (33.33% and
40%) respectively. Varying resistance response to all other tested antibiotics such as
streptomycin, meropenem, tetracycline, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim and nalidixic acid
was also observed among the E. coli isolates from both factories. About 50% of the multidrug resistant (3-9 antibiotics) among PPF1 were observed whereas there were 45.83%
multi-drug resistant (3-7 antibiotics) among PPF2 isolates. The result from this study
reflected that there was a prevalence of multi-drug resistance of E. coli isolated during the
processing of Pangasius at the studied factories. Therefore, there is a need for an effective
risk management assessment models and management plans from stakeholders involved in
the Pangasius value chain (i.e. farmers, processors and government) to ensure the food
safety of production chain

Abstract
Background:Iguratimod (IGU) was newly approved in Japan in June 2012 and recommended by JCR guideline 2014 in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although there have been efficacy of monotherapy and concomitant MTX in clinical trials, however, there have been no reports of concomitant biologic DMARDs (Bio).Objectives:we investigated efficacy of concomitant IGU therapy in RA patients who had inadequate response to Bio at the author’s institution.Methods:Subjects were 107 patients adding IGU who had inadequate response to Bio from Janually 2014 to October 2018. Previous treatment Bio. was ADA. And baseline mean concomitant MTX was 12.3 mg/week). And baseline characteristics were Mean age 53.8 years, mean duration of illness 5.5 years, corticosteroid use 9.3%(mean 3.1mg/day).The course of DAS28, SDAI, CDAI and remission rates were analyzed.Results:Mean DAS28-ESR, SDAI, CDAI were significantly decreased from the initiation of IGU treatment at 24 weeks (3.1→2.3, 7.1→2.7, 6.5→2.4), at 52 weeks (2.1, 2.4, 2.0). Remission rates of DAS28-ESR, SDAI, CDAI were 69.2%, 68.2%, 70.1% at 24 weeks, 74.8%, 78.5%, 79.4% at 52 weeks. There were no side-effect that must be stopped after adding IGU.Conclusion:IGU might be a new RA treatment option for aiming remission in patients who had inadequate response to Bio.References:[1]Hara M et al: Safety and efficacy of combination therapy of iguratimod with methotrexate for patients with active rheumatoid arthritis with an inadequate response to methotrexate: an open-label extension of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

Abstract
AIMS To study the mechanism of the antibacterial action of tea polyphenols such as catechins and theaflavins against Bacillus coagulans, and the interaction of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) or theaflavin 3,3'-di-O-gallate (TFDG) with the surface of B. coagulans cells was investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS The antibacterial activities of EGCg and TFDG against B. coagulans cells were measured by counting of the viable cells after the mixing with each polyphenol. Bactericidal effect of TFDG was shown at the concentration of greater than or equal to 62·5 mg l-1 ; however, at the same concentration, EGCg did not. According to the results of two dimensional (2D)-electrophoresis analysis, TFDG seemed to interact with cytoplasmic membrane proteins. The activity of the glucose transporters of the cells decreased 40% following the treatment with TFDG of 62·5 mg l-1 ; however, this decrease was only slight in case of EGCg. This result was in accordance with the strength of their bactericidal activities. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the direct interaction between membrane proteins and TFDG is an important factor in the antibacterial activity of polymerized catechins, affecting their functions and leading to cell death. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Tea polyphenols can effectively use the prevention of product spoilage in the food and beverage industry.

Abstract
To elucidate dynamic changes in native BCR-ABL and alternatively spliced tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)-resistant but function-dead BCR-ABLIns35bp variant, following commencement or discontinuation of TKI therapy, each transcript was serially quantified in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) by deep sequencing. Because both transcripts were amplified together using conventional PCR system for measuring International Scale (IS), deep sequencing method was used for quantifying such BCR-ABL variants. At the initial diagnosis, 7 of 9 patients presented a small fraction of cells possessing BCR-ABLIns35bp , accounting for 0.8% of the total IS BCR-ABL, corresponding to actual BCR-ABLIns35bp value of 1.1539% IS. TKI rapidly decreased native BCR-ABL but not BCR-ABLIns35bp , leading to the initial increase in the proportion of BCR-ABLIns35bp . Thereafter, both native BCR-ABL and BCR-ABLIns35bp gradually decreased in the course of TKI treatment, whereas small populations positive for TKI-resistant BCR-ABLIns35bp continued fluctuating at low levels, possibly underestimating the molecular response (MR). Following TKI discontinuation, sequencing analysis of 54 patients revealed a rapid relapse, apparently derived from native BCR-ABL+ clones. However, IS fluctuating at low levels around MR4.0 marked a predominant persistence of cells expressing function-dead BCR-ABLIns35bp , suggesting that TKI resumption was unnecessary. We clarified the possible mechanism underlying mis-splicing BCR-ABLIns35bp , occurring at the particular pseudo-splice site within intron8, which can be augmented by TKI treatment through inhibition of RNA polymerase II phosphorylation. No mutations were found in spliceosomal genes. Therefore, monitoring IS functional BCR-ABL extracting BCR-ABLIns35bp would lead us to a correct evaluation of MR status, thus determining the adequate therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Disruption of the intestinal microbiota caused by intensive chemotherapy, irradiation and antibiotics can result in development of severe gut graft-versus-host disease and infectious complications, leading to poorer outcomes among allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients. Although the oral cavity is also densely colonized by indigenous microorganisms, the bacterial composition in allo-HSCT recipients remains unclear. We determined the tongue microbiota composition of 45 patients with hematological disorders on the day of transplantation and compared them to 164 community-dwelling adults. The V1–V2 regions of the 16S rRNA gene sequences demonstrated that the allo-HSCT recipients had less diverse and distinct microbiota from that of community-dwelling adults. The full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences identified 146 bacterial taxa in the microbiota of allo-HSCT recipients, of which 34 bacterial taxa did not correspond to bacteria primarily inhabiting the oral cavity deposited in the expanded Human Oral Microbiome Database. Notably, the detection of Staphylococcus haemolyticus and/or Ralstonia pickettii was significantly associated with a higher risk of mortality during the follow-up period. These results demonstrate that the oral cavity of allo-HSCT recipients is colonized by a disrupted microbiota on the day of transplantation and suggest that detection of specific nonindigenous taxa could be a predictor of transplant outcome. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients are subjected to intensive chemotherapy, irradiation and antibiotics which could affect the intestinal as well as oral microbiota. We employed full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis with high taxonomic resolution using a third-generation sequencer, PacBio Sequel, and determined the bacterial composition of the tongue microbiota of allo-HSCT recipients after conditioning regimens. This comprehensive molecular approach identified 34 taxa uncommon in the oral cavity, which constituted 0–99.4% (median, 0.27%) of each tongue microbiota. Of them, Staphylococcus haemolyticus and Ralstonia pickettii were frequently found in allo-HSCT recipients, and their detection was significantly associated with a higher risk of mortality during the follow-up period. These results suggest that careful attention should be given to the bacterial composition of the disrupted oral microbiota in allo-HSCT recipients.

Abstract
Schizophyllum commune, a basidiomycete fungus, is a quite rare cause of invasive sinusitis for which no standard treatment has yet been established. We report herein a 59-year-old woman who developed S. commune rhinosinusitis after remission induction chemotherapy for her acute myeloid leukemia. No causative microorganisms were identified in the sinus lavage fluid culture, whereas nucleotide sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer region using endoscopic sinus biopsy specimen could confirm the pathogen as S. commune. Liposomal amphotericin B and voriconazole (VRCZ) treatment ameliorated both her clinical symptoms and laboratory findings. The patient was successfully treated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation, under continuous VRCZ administration, without aggravation of S. commune sinusitis. Molecular diagnosis and prompt intervention with suitable antifungal drugs may be crucial to manage this rare infectious complication.

Abstract
Experimental evidence exists that the Ξ-nucleus interaction is attractive. We search for NNΞ and NNNΞ bound systems on the basis of the AV8 NN potential combined with either a phenomenological Nijmegen ΞN potential or a first principles HAL QCD ΞN potential. The binding energies of the three-body and four-body systems (below the d+Ξ and ^{3}H/^{3}He+Ξ thresholds, respectively) are calculated by a high precision variational approach, the Gaussian expansion method. Although the two ΞN potentials have significantly different isospin (T) and spin (S) dependence, the NNNΞ system with quantum numbers (T=0, J^{π}=1^{+}) appears to be bound (one deep for Nijmegen and one shallow for HAL QCD) below the ^{3}H/^{3}He+Ξ threshold. Experimental implications for such a state are discussed.

Abstract
The intravenous injection of bendamustine often induces venous irritation, which reduces patients' QOL. We previously reported that the dilution of the final volume of bendamustine from 250 to 500 mL significantly decreased the incidence of venous irritation. However, the influence of this change on the therapeutic efficacy of bendamustine remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety profiles of bendamustine at different dilutions of the final volume, comparing with the correspondences of previous studies. Thirty-four patients, who received a total of 161 courses of bendamustine and rituximab chemotherapy, were included in this study. The overall response rate of this regimen was 94.1% in this study, which was comparable to that reported in the BRB study (94.2%, a phase II study of bendamustine plus rituximab therapy in Japanese patients). Additionally, the median progression-free survival was not inferior to that reported in the BRB study. Bendamustine-induced venous irritation was observed in 17.6% of the patients during the first treatment cycle administered at a final volume of 500 mL, and was found to be lower than that observed in the control, where bendamustine was administered at a final volume of 250 mL (85.7%). These results suggest that diluting bendamustine to 500 mL, but not to 250 mL, reduces the incidence of venous irritation without a negative impact on its therapeutic efficacy; thus, this simple strategy may be beneficial to ensure efficacy and safety in patients receiving regimens including bendamustine.

Abstract
Although allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been reported to provide prolonged remission of relapsed/refractory mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sézary syndrome (SS), its role has not been fully evaluated. Here, the outcomes of allogeneic HSCT for patients with MF/SS were retrospectively evaluated by using the registry database of the Japan Society for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation. Forty-eight patients were evaluable and enrolled in the analysis. Median age was 45.5 years. Eighteen patients (38%) received myeloablative conditioning, and 33 (69%) received HSCT from an alternative donor. Disease status was complete or partial response in 25% of the patients and relapsed or refractory in the others. At the time of analysis, 18 patients were alive, with a median follow-up of 31.0 months (range, 3.8-31.1). Three-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were 30% (95%CI, 16-45%) and 19% (95%CI, 9-31%), respectively. Disease progression was not observed later than 17 months after transplantation. Both disease status and performance status at transplant significantly affected OS and PFS. Although our findings suggest that allogeneic HSCT provides long-term PFS in patients with MF/SS, the timing of transplantation should be decided carefully based on the disease status and the patient's condition in order to improve the outcome.

Abstract
By evaluating risks of late mortality and causes of death among long-term survivors after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in Japan, we clarified what we should focus on during follow-up to reduce them. The study cohort included 6,780 patients who had survived for ≥2 years after the first autologous HSCT performed from 1974 to 2012 for hematological diseases. With a median follow-up of 6.0 years among survivors, overall survival probabilities at 5 and 10 years after HSCT were 92% and 83%, respectively. Eight hundred thirty deaths occurred: 451, recurrent primary diseases; 87, subsequent solid cancers; 57, subsequent hematological malignancies; 55, infections; 41, respiratory diseases; 19, cardiovascular diseases; 15, liver diseases; 10, neurological diseases; and 7, kidney/genitourinary diseases (Except small numbers of other causes and missing). According to the log-rank test, the risk of overall mortality was remarkably increased among HSCT recipients compared with the that in the general Japanese population (observed/expected ratio [O/E]=5.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.0-5.8). The risks of cause-specific mortality increased with infection (O/E=6.8; 95% CI, 5.1-8.8), subsequent solid cancers (O/E=1.4; 95% CI, 1.1-1.7), subsequent hematological malignancies (O/E=14.3; 95% CI, 10.8-18.5), kidney/genitourinary diseases (O/E=3.4; 95% CI, 1.4-7.1), respiratory disease (O/E=9.0; 95% CI, 6.5-1.2), and liver diseases (O/E=2.6; 95% CI, 1.4-4.2). Long-term survivors after autologous HSCT are at an increased risk of death due to secondary cancers, infections, and any organ diseases as well as recurrence compared to the general population. When monitoring these patients in the outpatient clinic, it is important for physicians to predict a change in the patient's condition and to start treatment earlier.

Abstract
Adult patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have a poor prognosis. Blinatumomab is a bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) immuno-oncology therapy with dual specificity for CD19 and CD3 that redirects patients' CD3-positive cytotoxic T cells to lyse malignant and normal B cells. We conducted an open-label, phase 1b/2 study to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics, efficacy and recommended dose of blinatumomab in Japanese adults with R/R B-precursor ALL. Patients received 9 μg/day blinatumomab during week 1 and 28 μg/day during weeks 2-4, with a 2-week treatment-free interval (6-week cycle); patients received 28 μg/day blinatumomab in subsequent cycles. Primary endpoints were the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) in phase 1b and complete remission (CR)/CR with partial hematologic recovery (CRh) within the first two cycles in phase 2. A total of 26 patients enrolled and 25 (96%) reported grade ≥3 adverse events (mostly cytopenias). There were no DLT. CR/CRh within two cycles was achieved by 4 of 5 patients (80%) in phase 1b and 8 of 21 patients (38%) in phase 2. Among patients with evaluable minimal residual disease, 4 (100%) in phase 1b and 3 (38%) in phase 2 had a complete MRD response. Median RFS for 8 patients who achieved CR/CRh in phase 2 was 5 (95% CI: 3.5-6.4) months; median OS was not estimable. There were no significant associations between maximum cytokine levels or percentage of specific cell types during cycle 1 and response. Consistent with global studies, blinatumomab appeared to be safe and efficacious in Japanese adults with R/R ALL.

Abstract
Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a serious complication after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Several studies of risk factors for PTLD have been reported; however, the probability of, and risk factors for, PTLD in patients with lymphoma is unknown. Japanese nationwide transplant registry data from 5270 patients with lymphoma after allogeneic HSCT were analyzed. Mature B-cell, T/NK-cell, and T-cell lymphoblastic subtypes accounted for 49%, 26%, and 9.6% of lymphoma cases, respectively. Rituximab was used in 1678 lymphoma patients, most of whom (89%) received HSCT for mature B-cell lymphoma. Thirty-one patients with lymphoma developed PTLD, representing a probability of 0.77% at 2 years post-HSCT, which did not differ significantly from that in patients with other diseases (P = .98). Year of HSCT after 2010 (hazard ratio [HR] = 5.6, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.48-21.3), antithymocyte globulin (ATG) use in the conditioning regimen (HR = 4.5, 95% CI, 1.61-12.5), and no rituximab use before HSCT (HR = 3.2, 95% CI, 1.26-7.90) were identified as risk factors for PTLD. Probabilities of PTLD at 1 year post-HSCT according to rituximab and ATG use were 0.23% (rituximab+, ATG-), 0.75% (rituximab-, ATG-), 1.25% (rituximab+, ATG+), and 3.53% (rituximab-, ATG+). Regarding lymphoma subtypes, patients with mature B-cell lymphoma had the lowest incidence of PTLD (0.35% at 2 years). Among high-risk patients receiving ATG, the mortality rate due to infection was elevated in those previously treated with rituximab (22%) relative to those without (14%); however, the difference was not significant (P = .10). Rituximab use before HSCT significantly reduces the risk of PTLD. Adding rituximab to the conditioning regimen is potentially a good strategy to prevent the development of PTLD in high-risk patients.

Abstract
Use of novel agents, including proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs, has markedly improved outcomes in multiple myeloma (MM) patients. However, most MM patients eventually relapse and require salvage treatments. We report herein the result of a phase I/II study, performed from 2014 to 2017 to assess the feasibility and efficacy of a maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lenalidomide (Len) combined with a fixed dose of once weekly subcutaneous (sc) 1.3 mg/m2 of bortezomib plus 20 mg of dexamethasone (scVRd regimen) in relapsed/refractory MM patients in the Japanese population. In the phase I part, dose-limiting toxicities were observed in three of six patients treated with 20 mg of Len; the MTD was accordingly defined as 15 mg in our cohort. In the phase II part, the recommended dose of the scVRD regimen showed a 71.4% best overall response rate, with a median overall survival of 14.8 months and a median progression-free survival of 8 months. Severe adverse events (≥ grade 3) were observed in ~ 15% of the patients, indicating the tolerability and efficacy of the regimen. Less prior treatment was associated with higher probability of durable response. This scVRd regimen may thus be a better fit for MM patients in early-stage relapse.

Abstract
Genomics and novel molecularly targeted drugs for treating acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) are developing rapidly. To optimize the allocation of patients to the best possible treatment, we have to expedite test results of cytogenetic and molecular analyses for target mutations such as CBF and FLT3, since gene mutations are specifically associated with patient prognosis and therefore inform medical decision making. However, novel agents cannot completely eradicate AML because of the emergence of resistance to these agents; therefore, at the moment it is still necessary to combine cytotoxic treatment with novel agents. Hence, it becomes vital to understand how to stratify AML patients and subsequently treat the right patients with the right combination of cytotoxic treatments and novel agents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Although neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists are approved chemotherapy drugs in Japan, no nationwide surveys have been performed to validate chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) guidelines in clinical practice. This study evaluated CINV in patients with haematological malignancies starting first-time chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A nationwide CINV survey on patients with haematological malignancies was conducted at 118 institutions. Patients undergoing moderately emetic chemotherapy (n=17) and highly emetic chemotherapy (HEC; n=180) were compared. RESULTS Forty-one patients undergoing HEC received triple antiemetics. Female gender and young age were risk factors for early-phase nausea, while female gender remained a risk factor for late-phase nausea and vomiting. Among 125 patients receiving CHOP (doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone)-like regimens, complete response and complete control were increased in patients receiving triple antiemetics, compared to those with double antiemetics. CONCLUSION Guideline compliance was very low. Although not statistically significant, there was a trend for reduced CINV and improved disease control for triple versus double antiemetics, suggesting that triple antiemetics should be considered for HEC, especially in young female patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma receiving CHOP-like regimens.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is the only available curative treatment option for patients with aggressive adult T cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL). Donor human T cell leukemia virus (HTLV) 1 seropositivity is a critical concern when choosing relative donors, as they are not usually recommended due solely to the occurrence of donor-derived ATL. A previous report suggested that allo-HCT with an HTLV-1-seropositive donor increased ATL-related mortality. We updated the risk assessment for choosing an HTLV-1-seropositive allo-HCT donor for ATL. Our current registry data, which include larger numbers of HTLV-1-seropositive donors and longer observation periods, revealed no significant difference in overall survival (hazard ratio [HR], 0.93; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.70-1.24; P = .61) or cumulative incidence of either ATL-related (HR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.64 to 1.45; P = .80) or non-ATL-related mortality (HR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.61 to 1.37; P = .66). Similarly, when considering only patients with ATL in complete remission, there was no significant difference in overall survival (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.70 to 1.49; P = .91) or cumulative incidence of either ATL-related (HR, 1.20; 95% CI, 0.66 to 2.20; P=0.54) or non-ATL-related mortality (HR, 0.86; 95% CI, 0.52-1.42; P = .66). These data indicate that selecting HTLV-1-seropositive donors might not be contraindicated for patients with ATL receiving allo-HCT if alternative donors are unavailable. Further risk assessment remains to be performed.

Abstract
The concept of topology has been widely applied in condensed matter physics, leading to the identification of peculiar electronic states on three-dimensional (3D) surfaces or 2D lines separating topologically distinctive regions. In the systems explored so far, the topological boundaries are built-in walls; thus, their motional degrees of freedom, which potentially bring about new paradigms, have been experimentally inaccessible. Here, working with a quasi-1D organic material with a charge-transfer instability, we show that mobile neutral-ionic (dielectric-ferroelectric) domain boundaries with topological charges carry strongly 1D-confined and anomalously large electrical conduction with an energy gap much smaller than the one-particle excitation gap. This consequence is further supported by nuclear magnetic resonance detection of spin solitons, which are required for steady current of topological charges. The present observation of topological charge transport may open a new channel for broad charge transport-related phenomena such as thermoelectric effects.

Abstract
Autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has not gained universal popularity in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and its status remains unclear. To determine the implementation status and outcomes of autologous HCT for adults with AML in Japan, we analyzed data from 1,174 patients (including 446 with acute promyelocytic leukemia [APL]) who underwent autologous HCT between 1992 and 2016 consecutively reported to the Japanese nationwide transplantation registry. The annual number of transplantations peaked at 82 cases in 1997, and has recently remained at around 40 cases. The percentage of APL has increased sharply since 2004, and currently exceeds 70%. While most non-APL patients underwent autologous HCT during first complete remission (CR), transplantation during second CR has become mainstream for APL patients since the early 2000s. The 5-year survival, relapse, and non-relapse mortality rates were 55.3%, 42.1%, and 8.6% for non-APL patients, and 87.6%, 12.9%, and 3.4% for APL patients, respectively. Patients transplanted in the later period showed better survival than those transplanted in the earlier period, both for non-APL (P < 0.001) and APL (P = 0.036). These results clearly show the various changes in transplantation practice and post-transplant outcomes in Japan over the past 25 years.

Abstract
Mixed chimerism (MC) and/or secondary graft failure (SGF) with recipient- or donor-type chimerism is a major obstacle in allogeneic transplantation for aplastic anemia (AA). From a registry database in Japan, patients with AA age >15 years who underwent a first allogeneic bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplantation between 2000 and 2014 and achieved engraftment were included in this study. MC that did not require either granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) or transfusion support (group 1), MC (not SGF) that required G-CSF and/or transfusion support (group 2), SGF with MC or complete recipient-type chimerism (group 3), and SGF with complete donor-type chimerism (group 4) developed in 26, 16, 19, and 17 patients, respectively. The overall median duration of follow-up for survivors was 1727 days. The overall survival (OS) was 90.4% at 1 year and 83.5% at 5 years in patients without MC or SGF (n = 340), which was not different from the OS in groups 1 and 2. However, inferior OS was observed in group 3 (1 year, 52.1%; 5 years, 52.1%) and group 4 (1 year, 82.4%; 5 years, 56.3%). In multivariate analyses, the use of fludarabine (Flu) and the absence of irradiation in conditioning were associated with the development of SGF with MC or complete recipient-type chimerism, and the use of Flu in conditioning was associated with SGF with complete donor-type chimerism. In conclusion, the use of Flu may affect the occurrence of SGF with both recipient-type and donor-type chimerism.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The prognosis of cancer patients has been improved partly because of the progress in cancer therapy, which increases the cancer survivors in the society. It may raise a concern regarding the development of heart failure (HF), because the anticancer agents have some serious side effects on cardiovascular system, especially in the aging society including Japan. However, the epidemiological data for the risk of HF in the cancer survivors is limited due to the lack of comprehensive dataset in the aging society. In this regard, the electronic health record (EHR), a big data, from the National Health Insurance in Japan provides a unique opportunity to obtain the suitable dataset.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to clarify the prevalence and the risk factors of HF in cancer survivors, focusing on the impact of their age, using EHR in Japan.
Methods
We examined the EHR of 17.8 million patients, covering 14% of the total Japanese population. The EHR includes the diagnoses as coded with International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10), and the information for therapeutics. We extracted 159,380 patients who received anticancer agents between April 2008 to January 2017. HF patients were identified accordingto ICD-10 codes and the record for the use of therapeutic drugs for HF at least once after the HF diagnosis following the treatment with anticancer agents. We excluded the patients if they had other conditions indistinguishable from HF or if they had past history of HF before receiving anticancer agents.
Results
The mean follow-up period was 1.75 years and mean age (standard deviation) was 68.9 (11.6) years. The population over 75 years old were 37%, while males were 59.5%. There were prostate cancer (28.1%), lung cancer (13.4%), and colon cancer (12.6%)in males, and breast cancer (42.8%), colon cancer (11.5%), and lung cancer (8.6%)in females. Among them, 5,529 patients were diagnosed with HF, corresponding to the prevalence of 3.8%. The mean time form the initiation of chemotherapy to the HF onset was 1.03 year. In the Cox's proportional hazard model after the adjustments for comorbidity, HF was more prevalent in males with hazard ratio (HR) 1.07 and 95% C.I. 1.01–1.13 (p<0.05) and in those with obesity (HR 1.18, 95% C.I. 1.09–1.26, p<0.01).We divided the subjects into three age groups (younger; <65 years, intermediate; 65–74 years, older; ≥75 years). HF was more prevalent in older group than younger group (HR 1.72, 95% C.I. 1.60–1.85, p<0.01). Among the anticancer agents, doxorubicin showed HR 2.09 (95% C.I. 1.89–2.3, p<0.01), and trastuzumab showed HR 1.47 (95% C.I 1.25–1.73, p<0.01).
Conclusion
We showed that the average prevalence of HF after anticancer agentwas 3.8%. The independent risk factors for HF were older age, male, obesity, and the use of doxorubicin or trastuzumab. This study also demonstrated the usefulness of EHR in Japan, to investigate the cardiovascular risk associated with the anticancer agents.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Despite recommendations from clinical practice guidelines, there is scant evidence confirming the effects of vasodilators on clinical outcomes in patients with acute heart failure (AHF).
Purpose
We sought to investigate the effects of intravenous vasodilators on clinical outcomes and to identify the potential patient populations that would benefit from its use.
Methods
Data of 26 212 consecutive patients urgently hospitalized for AHF between 2009 and 2015 were extracted from a multicenter data registration system (Tokyo Cardiovascular Care Unit Network Database, including 72 institutions within the Tokyo metropolitan area in Japan). Patients who did not present with typical AHF episodes, including those without pulmonary congestion on physical and/or chest X-ray and serum B-type natriuretic peptide level <500 pg/ml, as well as those who had hypotension and/or hypoperfusion (systolic blood pressure [SBP] <100 mmHg) as dominant presentation, were excluded. Propensity scores were calculated with multiple imputation and 1:1 matching performed between patients with and without vasodilators. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality and the secondary endpoints were length of intensive/cardiovascular care unit (ICU/CCU) stay and hospital stay.
Results
Overall, 8 863 patients were included in the present analysis; they were predominantly male (57%) with a median age of 79 (interquartile range: 70–86) years. Compared with the group without vasodilator use, the vasodilator group had higher SBPs and heart rates and higher frequency of assisted ventilation use, but lower frequency of intravenous diuretics use. After propensity score matching, there were no significant differences in in-hospital mortality rates (7.8% vs. 8.9% in patients without vasodilators, p=0.16) or in length of ICU/CCU stay (5.8 days vs. 5.4 days, p=0.44) and hospital stay (22.7 days vs. 23.8 days, p=0.22) between the groups. However, in subgroup analyses, favorable impacts of vasodilator use on in-hospital mortality were observed among patients who had higher SBPs and among those who had no atrial fibrillation upon admission (Figure). In addition, vasodilators were likely to be more effective in AHF patients with SBP increasing; while levels below 140 mmHg of SBP appeared to be associated with an increased risk for mortality among patients treated with vasodilators compared with those without vasodilators.
Figure 1
Conclusions
In patients with AHF, vasodilator use was not universally associated with improved in-hospital outcomes; however, its effect was dependent of individual clinical presentation. Detailed phenotyping might aid tailoring of treatment strategies for patients with AHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Novel urinary biomarkers such as urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (u-NGAL),urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (u-KIM-1), and urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (uL-FABP) are proposed to be reliable markers for acute heart failure (AHF). Acute pulmonary edema (APE) is one of the vascular phenotypes of AHF, such as `vascular failure”, often with high blood pressure at admission. We aimed to investigate the differences in the clinical impact and prognostic utility of urinary biomarkers in AHF patients with and without APE.
Methods and results
This prospective observational study included 203 AHF patients (mean age: 77 years, 52% male). uL-FABP, u-NGAL, and u-KIM-1 were measured at admission and before discharge, with correction for urinary creatinine. APE was defined as acute-onset dyspnea and radiographic alveolar edema requiring non-invasive positive pressure ventilation. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause death and AHF rehospitalization for 1 year. The median uL-FABP levels at admission were higher in APE (n=42) than in non-APE patients (n=161; 10.8 [4.5–23.7] vs. 20.7 [5.9–63.5] μg/gCr, p=0.017), whereas u-KIM-1, u-NGAL, and serum creatinine did not significantly differ between AHF patients with and without APE. The primary outcome did not differ between patients with and without APE. However, among patients with APE, Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that higher uL-FABP (≥median: 20.7 μg/gCr) was associated with adverse events (log-rank: p=0.019). After adjusting for age, sex, serum creatinine, and brain natriuretic peptide, multivariable Cox hazard analysis showed that higher uL-FABP is an independent predictor of adverse events (HR: 4.0 [1.2–18.2], p=0.023).
Conclusion
Unlike u-NGAL and u-KIM-1, uL-FABP was higher in APE patients than in non-APE patients. Further, among patients with APE, higher uL-FABP was predictive for poor prognosis.

Abstract
Patients receiving cancer chemotherapy may experience a number of potentially severe adverse drug reactions. It is crucial for all members of the health care team to monitor the effect of medicines on the patient to ensure the safety and efficacy of the chemotherapy. The present study prepared medication instruction sheets (MISs) on hematological malignancy and conducted a questionnaire survey to verify their usefulness among physicians, dentists, and nurses. MISs were prepared for 103 chemotherapy and 44 pretreatment regimens for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in the Department of Hematology at Kyushu University Hospital. Eight questions were prepared to investigate whether MISs could help physicians, dentists, and nurses manage cancer chemotherapy more safely, effectively, and efficiently, as well as in the sharing of information. A total of 35 medical staff working in inpatient wards, including 8 physicians, 3 dentists, and 24 nurses, participated in the questionnaire survey. All of the staff responded to the questionnaire survey, which showed that the MISs were favorably accepted by the participants. There was no negative opinion on the management of chemotherapy using the MISs. The MIS was a useful tool for sharing information on cancer chemotherapy between patients and medical staff and for enabling efficient management, thereby improving the safety and efficacy of treatment.

Abstract
Some studies support the hypothesis that HLA genes and haplotypes evolved by natural selection through their protective abilities against specific infectious pathogens. However, very little is known regarding the impact of high-frequency HLA haplotypes on the risk of relevant infectious diseases among a given ethnic group. We evaluated the impact of high-frequency HLA haplotypes on cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation and infection in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in a Japanese population as a model of infectious disease that has coexisted with humans. A total of 21,127 donor-patient pairs were analyzed. HLA-A-B-DRB1 haplotypes were estimated using the maximum probability algorithm. Seven haplotypes with >1% frequency were defined as high-frequency haplotypes (HfHPs). Homozygotes of HfHP and heterozygotes had significantly lower risk of CMV reactivation and infection (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.88, P = .009 and HR = 0.93, P = .003, respectively) than homozygotes of low-frequency HLA haplotypes (LfHPs). In subgroup analyses of a different donor source, these associations were statistically significant in unrelated donor transplants. Finally, CMV risk for homozygotes and heterozygotes of each HfHP was compared with that of homozygotes of LfHPs. The 2 most predominant HfHP groups (A*24:02-B*52:01-DRB1*15:02 group and A*24:02-B*07:02-DRB1*01:01 group) had a significantly lower risk of CMV reactivation and infection (HR = 0.86, P < .001 and HR = 0.91, P = .033, respectively). Our findings suggest that HfHPs may be protective against CMV reactivation and infection and that increased care regarding CMV reactivation and infection may be necessary for patients with LfHP after allo-HSCT.
