Abstract
OBJECTIVES To establish the optimal strategy for haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS We performed a prospective study on haploidentical HSCT using low-dose alemtuzumab. Alemtuzumab was added at 0.25 mg/kg for 2 days. The primary outcome measure was the survival rate with the engraftment of donor cells and without grade III-IV acute graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) at 60 days after transplantation. RESULTS Fourteen adult patients with advanced hematological disease were enrolled. The primary outcome measure was achieved in 86% of the patients. Six patients experienced relapse/progression. Non-relapse death was observed in three patients, and all of them had a history of previous allogeneic HSCT. Overall survival and progression-free survival rates at 1 year were 51% and 43%, respectively. Four patients were suspected to have herpes simplex virus infection and three had aseptic meningitis under the use of acyclovir at 200 mg. There were no deaths due to viral infection. Compared to those who underwent haploidentical HSCT using thymoglobulin, patients with alemtuzumab showed a slower recovery of CD8+ T-cells and lower incidences of GVHD and EB virus reactivation. CONCLUSIONS Haploidentical HSCT using low-dose alemtuzumab can be performed safely. We need to overcome the high relapse/progression rate in non-remission patients.

Abstract
Herein, we report an effective method for the generation of radio-frequency (RF) sidebands in an electro-optic modulator for the simultaneous magneto-optical trapping of two isotopes. This is achieved by switching the RF signals alternately, which suppresses the generation of unwanted frequency signals and improves the laser power per sideband. The generated sidebands are successfully applied to a dual-rubidium-isotope magneto-optical trap (MOT), which results in an increased number of trapped atoms. This simple, flexible, and robust technique can be implemented in experiments that require a large number of atoms in multiple-isotope MOTs and for various applications.

Associations between febrile neutropenia-related parameters and the risk of acute GVHD or non-relapse mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Infection and inflammation can induce acute graft-vs.-host disease (aGVHD). We hypothesized that febrile neutropenia early after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) would increase the risk of aGVHD and non-relapse mortality (NRM). We retrospectively evaluated the impact of fever, C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration and blood stream infection (BSI) early after HCT on the incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD and NRM in 227 patients. Within 7 days after HCT, 91 (40.1%) patients experienced fever for at least 2 days (early-FN group). BSI occurred in 27 (11.9%) patients and the maximum CRP concentration was 2.57 mg/dl in the median. In a multivariate analysis, early-FN (hazard ratio (HR) 1.81, P = 0.007) and older recipient age (HR 1.68, P = 0.019) were significantly associated with the incidence of grade II-IV aGVHD. High-CRP and BSI were not significant risk factors for grade II-IV aGVHD. On the other hand, high-CRP was significantly associated with the incidence of NRM (HR 2.67, P = 0.004) in a multivariate analysis. In conclusion, although fever, CRP elevation and BSI are considered to be closely related events, they had different effects on the incidence of aGVHD and NRM. The development of early-FN after HCT may predict the risk of aGVHD.

Abstract
The actual heparin concentration of harvested allogeneic bone marrow varies among harvest centers. We monitor the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) of the patient during bone marrow infusion and administer prophylactic protamine according to the APTT. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of consecutive patients who underwent bone marrow transplantation without bone marrow processing at our center between April 2007 and March 2016 (n = 94). APTT was monitored during marrow transfusion in 52 patients. We analyzed the relationship between the APTT ratio and several parameters related to heparin administration. As a result, the weight-based heparin administration rate (U/kg/hour) seemed to be more closely related to the APTT ratio (r = .38, P = .005) than to the total amount of heparin. There was no significant correlation between the APTT ratio and renal or liver function. Bleeding complications during and early after infusion were seen in 3 of 52 patients, and included intracranial, nasal, and punctured-skin bleeding. The APTT ratio during transfusion was over 5.88 in the former 2 patients and 2.14 in the latter. All of these patients recovered without sequelae. In conclusion, slow bone marrow infusion is recommended to decrease the weight-based heparin administration rate when the heparin concentration per patient body weight is high.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several reports have been published regarding cost increases attributable to surgical site infections (SSIs) in Europe and the USA. However, such studies have been limited in Japan. AIM To evaluate the economic burden of colorectal SSIs on hospitals in Japan. METHODS This study was undertaken at a Japanese university hospital. Amongst 265 patients who had undergone colorectal surgery in the Department of Coloproctological Surgery between November 2014 and March 2016, 16 patients who developed SSIs and could be allocated a diagnosis procedure combination code were selected as SSI cases. Individual SSI cases were matched to non-SSI cases based on a combination of surgical category, age band, sex, wound class, presence of stoma and risk index. Median length of stay (LOS) and piecework reference cost were compared between SSI episodes and non-SSI episodes. FINDINGS The median LOS for patients with SSI and without SSI was 25.5 [interquartile range (IQR) 21.5-39.3] and 16.5 (IQR 12.5-18.5) days, respectively (P<0.01). The median piecework reference cost for patients with SSI and without SSI was ¥842,155 (IQR ¥716,423-1,388,968) and ¥575,795 (IQR ¥529,638-680,105), respectively (P<0.01). CONCLUSION SSIs led to a significant increase in LOS and economic burden. Although the SSI episodes appear to be more profitable than the non-SSI episodes, the economic profit for SSI episodes was less than that for non-SSI episodes in the observation period, when opportunity costs were taken into account.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Consensus has yet to be reached regarding secondary prophylaxis in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with a complete resolution of invasive aspergillosis (IA) confirmed by chest computed tomography (CT). METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the feasibility of antifungal prophylaxis with fluconazole in allogeneic HSCT recipients who had previously developed IA which showed complete resolution as confirmed by chest CT before HSCT. Consecutive adult patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT at our institution and who had received fluconazole as systemic antifungal prophylaxis from June 2007 to January 2015 were included. We compared the clinical outcomes between patients with a past history of IA who showed a complete resolution of chest CT abnormalities (n = 13) and those without a previous history of IA (n = 137). RESULTS The cumulative incidence of proven or probable IA was 8.8% in the group without a past history of IA and 0.0% in the group with a past history of IA (p = .268). The cumulative incidence of proven or probable invasive fungal disease (IFD) within 100 days after allogeneic HSCT was 10.9% in the group without a past history of IA and 15.4% in the group with a past history of IA (p = .647). Fluconazole was switched to anti-mould agents in two-thirds of the patients in each group by day 100 after HSCT. CONCLUSIONS Fluconazole was confirmed to be an acceptable prophylactic agent early after allogeneic HSCT in appropriately selected patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No standard method for measuring renal function has been established in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 80 patients with hematological diseases who underwent allo-HCT at our center. We assessed renal function using creatinine clearance (Ccr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on creatinine (eGFRcre), eGFR based on cystatin C (eGFRcys), and the average of eGFRcre and eGFRcys (eGFRave). We then evaluated the impact of pre-transplant renal function on the exacerbation of renal function and non-relapse mortality after transplantation. RESULTS There was a significant correlation between Ccr and eGFRcre, eGFRcys, and eGFRave. eGFRave best predicted the exacerbation of renal function according to the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve. The cumulative incidence of renal function exacerbation at 1 year was higher in the lower eGFRave group (<90 ml/min/1.73 m2) than in the higher eGFRave group (≥90 ml/min/1.73 m2; 0.85 vs. 0.39, p < 0.001), which was confirmed by a multivariate analysis (HR 2.75, p = 0.001). A lower eGFRave value was a marginally significant factor for non-relapse mortality (HR 3.29, p = 0.076). CONCLUSION Among the four parameters, eGFRave best predicted the exacerbation of renal function in allo-HCT. Further, the marginal association between low eGFRave and high non-relapse mortality warrants further study in a prospective study in allo-HCT.

Abstract
A novel multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and polypyrrole (PPy) composite was found to be useful for preparing durable Pt nanoparticle catalysts of highly regulated sizes. A new pyrene-functionalized Pt4 complex was attached to the MWCNT surface which was functionalized with PPy matrix to yield Pt4 complex/PPy/MWCNT composites without decomposition of the Pt4 complex units. The attached Pt4 complexes in the composite were transformed into Pt0 nanoparticles with sizes of 1.0-1.3 nm at a Pt loading range of 2 to 4 wt %. The Pt nanoparticles in the composites were found to be active and durable catalysts for the N-alkylation of aniline with benzyl alcohol. In particular, the Pt nanoparticles with PPy matrix exhibited high catalyst durability in up to four repetitions of the catalyst recycling experiment compared with nonsize-regulated Pt nanoparticles prepared without PPy matrix. These results demonstrate that the PPy matrix act to regulate the size of Pt nanoparticles, and the PPy matrix also offers stability for repeated usage for Pt nanoparticle catalysis.

Abstract
AIMS Extragalactic observations of water emission can provide valuable insights into the excitation of the interstellar medium. In particular they allow us to investigate the excitation mechanisms in obscured nuclei, i.e. whether an active galactic nucleus or a starburst dominate. METHODS We use sub-arcsecond resolution observations to tackle the nature of the water emission in Arp 220. ALMA Band 5 science verification observations of the 183 GHz H2O 313-220 line, in conjunction with new ALMA Band 7 H2O 515-422 data at 325 GHz, and supplementary 22 GHz H2O 616 - 523 VLA observations, are used to better constrain the parameter space in the excitation modelling of the water lines. RESULTS We detect 183 GHz H2O and 325 GHz water emission towards the two compact nuclei at the center of Arp 220, being brighter in Arp 220 West. The emission at these two frequencies is compared to previous single-dish data and does not show evidence of variability. The 183 and 325 GHz lines show similar spectra and kinematics, but the 22 GHz profile is significantly different in both nuclei due to a blend with an NH3 absorption line. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the most likely scenario to cause the observed water emission in Arp 220 is a large number of independent masers originating from numerous star-forming regions.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Anticoagulation therapy with warfarin requires periodic monitoring of prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) and adequate dose adjustments based on the data to minimize the risk of bleeding and thromboembolic events. In our hospital, we have developed protocol-based pharmaceutical care, which we called protocol-based pharmacotherapy management (PBPM), for warfarin therapy. The protocol requires pharmacists to manage timing of blood sampling for measuring PT-INR and warfarin dosage determination based on an algorithm. This study evaluated the efficacy of PBPM in warfarin therapy by comparing to conventional pharmaceutical care. METHODS From October 2013 to June 2015, a total of 134 hospitalized patients who underwent cardiovascular surgeries received post-operative warfarin therapy. The early series of patients received warfarin therapy as the conventional care (control group, n=77), whereas the latter received warfarin therapy based on the PBPM (PBPM group, n=68). These patients formed the cohort of the present study and were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS The indications for warfarin included aortic valve replacement (n=56), mitral valve replacement (n=4), mitral valve plasty (n=22) and atrial fibrillation (n=29). There were no differences in patients' characteristics between both groups. The percentage time in therapeutic range in the first 10 days was significantly higher in the PBPM group (47.1%) than that in the control group (34.4%, P<.005). The average time to reach the steady state was significantly (P<.005) shorter in the PBPM group compared to the control group (7.3 vs 8.6 days). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Warfarin therapy based on our novel PBPM was clinically safe and resulted in significantly better anticoagulation control compared to conventional care.
