Abstract
Transverse myelitis (TM) is a very rare complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and its prognosis is poor. It therefore needs to be treated aggressively. We describe a patient suffering from SLE associated with TM, who responded well to a combination of immunoadsorption therapy and steroid mini-pulse therapy. His serum interleukin 6 levels as well as clinical indicators fell to normal after this treatment.

Abstract
We investigated the role of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) in eyeblink serial feature-positive discrimination learning in mice using the mAChR antagonist. A 2-s light cue was delivered 5 or 6 s before the presentation of a 350-ms tone paired with a 100-ms periorbital electrical shock (cued trial) but not before the tone-alone presentation (non-cued trial). Mice received 30 cued and 30 non-cued trials each day in a random order. We found that saline-injected control mice were successfully discriminating between cued and non-cued trials within a few days of conditioning. The mice responded more frequently to the tone in cued trials than in non-cued trials. Analysis of conditioned response (CR) dynamics revealed that the CR onset latency was shorter in cued trials than in non-cued trials, despite the CR peak amplitude not differing significantly between the two conditions. In contrast, scopolamine-injected mice developed an equal number of CRs with similar temporal patterns irrespective of the presence of the cue during the 7 days of conditioning, indicating in a failure to acquire conditional discrimination. In addition, the scopolamine administration to the control mice after they had successfully acquired discrimination did not impair the conditional discrimination and expression of pre-acquired CR. These results suggest that mAChRs may play a pivotal role in memory formation in the conditional brain state associated with the feature cue; however they are unlikely to be involved in the development of discrimination after conditional memory had formed in the serial feature-positive discrimination task during eyeblink conditioning.

Abstract
Rituximab (RTX), a monoclonal antibody against CD20, is known to cause fewer side effects than conventional anti-cancer drugs; however, infusion reaction (IR), which is specific to monoclonal antibody therapy, is frequently triggered by RTX. Therefore, we designed this study to identify risk factors based on clinical test values for developing IR after RTX administration. Eighty-nine patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who had received RTX for the first time between February 2010 and March 2013, at the Gifu Municipal Hospital were enrolled as subjects. Analysis of data was conducted for 87 patients, after excluding patients whose data were missing. Univariate analysis showed significant differences in the number of patients exhibiting a soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sLL-2R) level > 2,000 U/L and hemoglobin (Hb) < lower standard limit (LSL) between the IR and non-IR groups. Multivariate analysis showed significant differences with respect to slL-2R > 2,000 U/L [odds ratio (OR), 4.463; 95% confidence interval (Cl), 1.262-15.779; P = 0.020], Hb < LSL [OR, 3.568; 95% CI, 1.071-11.890; P = 0.038], and steroid administration [OR, 0.284; 95% Cl, 0.094-0.852; P = 0.025]. Our findings show that sIL-2R > 2,000 U/L, Hb < LSL, and a lack of steroid premedication are risk factors for developing IR following RTX treatment.
