Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (PRXs) are intracellular anti-oxidative enzymes but work as inflammatory amplifiers under the extracellular condition. To date, the function of PRXs in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate whether PRXs play a role in the pathogenesis of MS and NMOSD. We analyzed levels of PRXs (PRX1, PRX5 and PRX6) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum of 16 patients with MS, 16 patients with NMOSD and 15 patients with other neurological disorders (ONDs). We identified potential correlations between significantly elevated PRXs levels and the clinical variables in patients with MS and NMOSD. Additionally, pathological analyses of PRXs (PRX1-6) in the central nervous system (CNS) were performed using the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), animal model of MS. We found that serum levels of PRX5 and PRX6 in patients with MS and NMOSD were higher compared with those in patients with ONDs (P < 0·05). Furthermore, high levels of PRX5 and PRX6 were partly associated with blood-brain barrier dysfunction and disease duration in NMOSD patients. No significant elevation was found in CSF PRXs levels of MS and NMOSD. Spinal cords from EAE mice showed remarkable PRX5 staining, especially in CD45+ infiltrating cells. In conclusion, PRX5 and PRX6 may play a role in the pathogeneses of MS and NMOSD.

Abstract
Background:Belimumab (BEL) is the first treatment approved in children ≥5 years of age with cSLE. This recent approval was based on favourable results of the PLUTO trial, evaluating efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) BEL, plus standard SLE therapy (SST), vs placebo (PBO), in children with cSLE.1Objectives:To evaluate the SLE Responder Index 4 (SRI4) sensitivity of response for the comparison of BEL vs PBO at Week (Wk) 52.Methods:In PLUTO (NCT01649765; GSK study BEL114055), an ongoing Phase 2, randomised, PBO-controlled, double-blind study, patients (pts) 5–17 years of age with active cSLE were randomised to monthly BEL 10 mg/kg IV, or PBO, plus SST, for 52 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was the SRI4 response rate at Wk 52. Pre-specified sensitivity analyses supporting the primary efficacy endpoint for the intention-to-treat (ITT) population included unadjusted, last observation carried forward (LOCF), completer responses, and response using SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) 2K proteinuria scoring rule (4-point score for proteinuria >0.5 g/24 h), all at Wk 52. Completers were pts who completed 52 weeks of treatment. Any pts who withdrew or received protocol-prohibited medication or a dose of allowable medication that resulted in treatment failure prior to the Wk 52 visit had missing data handled using LOCF (missing values imputed using the last previous non-missing value). Statistics are descriptive.Results:Overall, 93 pts were randomised (BEL, n=53; PBO, n=40). Majority (94.6%) of pts were female, mean (standard deviation [SD]) age was 14.0 (2.49) years and mean (SD) disease duration was 2.4 (1.93) years. By Wk 52, numerically more BEL (52.8%) than PBO (43.6%) pts were SRI4 responders; difference vs PBO 9.24; odds ratio (OR; 95% confidence interval [CI]) vs PBO 1.49 (0.64, 3.46). For each sensitivity analysis (unadjusted, LOCF, completer, and SLEDAI 2K responses) the odds of being a responder at Wk 52 were higher for pts receiving BEL vs PBO (Table).Table.Sensitivity analyses: SRI4 response at Wk 52PBO(n=40)BEL(n=53)Unadjusted response (ITT), n*3953 n (%)17 (43.6)28 (52.8) Observed difference vs PBO9.24 OR (95% CI)†vs PBO1.45 (0.63, 3.33)LOCF response (ITT), n*3953 n (%)18 (46.2)30 (56.6) Observed difference vs PBO10.45 OR (95% CI)‡vs PBO1.51 (0.65, 3.52)Completer response (completers), n*3045 n (%)17 (56.7)27 (60.0) Observed difference vs PBO3.33 OR (95% CI)‡vs PBO1.16 (0.44, 3.09)Response using SLEDAI 2K (ITT), n*3953 n (%)17 (43.6)28 (52.8) Observed difference vs PBO9.24 OR (95% CI)‡vs PBO1.49 (0.64, 3.46)*One pt was excluded because they did not have a baseline Safety of Estrogens in Lupus National Assessment (SELENA)-SLEDAI assessment;†calculated from a logistic regression model for the comparison between BEL and PBO without adjustment for any covariates;‡calculated from a logistic regression model for the comparison between BEL and PBO with covariates treatment group, baseline age (5–11 years vs 12–17 years), and baseline SELENA-SLEDAI score (≤12 vs ≥13)Conclusion:The results of the SRI4 primary efficacy endpoint sensitivity analyses further support a favourable effect for BEL vs PBO.References:[1]Brunner HI,et al.Arthritis Rheumatol.2018;70(59): 3224–5, Abst. 2867Acknowledgments:We acknowledge all PLUTO investigators (PRINTO, PRCSG and otherwise affiliated).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The right hepatic venous system consists of the right hepatic vein (RHV) and inferior RHVs (IRHVs). When the right posterior section is used as a graft for liver transplantation, understanding variations and relationships between the RHV and IRHVs is critical for graft venous return and hepatic vein reconstruction. This study aimed to evaluate variations in the hepatic veins and the relationships between them. METHODS The medical records and CT images of patients who underwent hepatectomy as liver donors were assessed retrospectively. The relationship between the veins was evaluated by three-dimensional CT. RESULTS The configuration of the posterior section was classified into one of eight types based on the RHV and IRHVs in 307 patients. Type 1a (103 of 307), type 1b (139 of 307) and type 2a (40 of 307) accounted for 91·9 per cent of the total. The diameter of the RHV extending towards the inferior vena cava had a significant inverse correlation with that of the IRHV (r2 = -0·615, P < 0·001). Type 1a, which had no IRHVs, had the RHV with the largest diameter; conversely, type 2a, which had a large IRHV, had the RHV with the smallest diameter. CONCLUSION The hepatic venous system of the right posterior section was classified into eight types, with an inverse relationship between RHV and IRHV sizes. This information is useful for segment VII resection or when the right liver is used as a transplant graft.

Abstract
AIMS Nakajo-Nishimura syndrome (NNS) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by biallelic mutations in the PSMB8 gene that encodes the immunoproteasome subunit β5i. There have been only a limited number of reports on the clinicopathological features of the disease in genetically confirmed cases. METHODS We studied clinical and pathological features of three NNS patients who all carry the homozygous p.G201V mutations in PSMB8. Patients' muscle specimens were analysed with histology and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS All patients had episodes of typical periodic fever and skin rash, and later developed progressive muscle weakness and atrophy, similar to previous reports. Oral corticosteroid was used for treatment but showed no obvious efficacy. On muscle pathology, lymphocytes were present in the endomysium surrounding non-necrotic fibres, as well as in the perimysium perivascular area. Nearly all fibres strongly expressed MHC-I in the sarcolemma. In the eldest patient, there were abnormal protein aggregates in the sarcoplasm, immunoreactive to p62, TDP-43 and ubiquitin antibodies. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that inflammation, inclusion pathology and aggregation of abnormal proteins underlie the progressive clinical course of the NNS pathomechanism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Palliative care (PC) is increasingly recognized as essential for oncology care, and several academic societies strongly recommend integrating oncology and palliative care (IOP) in daily practice. Similarly, the Japanese government encouraged the implementation of IOP through the Cancer Control Act of 2007; however, its detailed progress remains unclear. Therefore, this cross-sectional nationwide survey was conducted to investigate the current status and hospital executive physicians' perception of IOP. METHODS The questionnaire was developed based on IOP indicators with international consensus. It was distributed to executive physicians at all government-designated cancer hospitals (DCHs, n = 399) and matched non-DCHs (n = 478) in November 2017 and the results were compared. RESULTS In total, 269 (67.4%) DCHs and 259 (54.2%) non-DCHs responded. The number of PC resources in DCHs was significantly higher than those in non-DCHs (e.g., full-time PC physicians and nurses, 52.8% vs. 14.0%, p < 0.001; availability of outpatient PC service ≥3 days per week, 47.6% vs. 20.7%, p < 0.001). Routine symptom screening was more frequently performed in DCHs than in non-DCHs (65.1% vs. 34.7%, p < 0.001). Automatic trigger for PC referral availability was limited (e.g., referral using time trigger, 14.9% vs. 15.3%, p = 0.700). Education and research opportunities were seriously limited in both types of hospitals. Most executive physicians regarded IOP as beneficial for their patients (95.9% vs. 94.7%, p = 0.163) and were willing to facilitate an early referral to PC services (54.7% vs. 60.0%, p < 0.569); however, the majority faced challenges to increase the number of full-time PC staff, and < 30% were planning to increase the staff members. CONCLUSIONS This survey highlighted a considerable number of IOP indicators met, particularly in DCHs probably due to the government policy. Further efforts are needed to address the serious research/educational gaps.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) assessed by ultrasound has been widely accepted as a surrogate marker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, carotid plaque score (cPS) reflecting throughout the carotid artery plaque burden may be better marker.
Methods
We retrospectively examined 2,035 patients who underwent carotid ultrasonography between January 2006 and December 2015 at our University Hospital. Median follow-up period was 4 years. We used Cox models that adjusted for established risk factors of ASCVD, including age, gender, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and serum lipids to assess the association of cIMT as well as cPS with major adverse cardiac events (MACE). MACE was defined as all-cause mortality or rehospitalization for a cardiovascular-related illness
Results
During follow-up, 243 participants experienced MACE. After adjustment for established risk factors, cPS was associated with MACE (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.38 for top quintile vs. bottom quintile of cPS; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.82 to 6.27; P-trend = 1.4×10–8), while cIMT was not (HR = 0.88, P=0.57). Addition of the cPS to established risk factors significantly improved risk discrimination (C-index 0.726 vs. 0.746; P=0.017)
Conclusion
As a marker, cPS, rather than cIMT can identify 20% of individuals who are at more than three-fold increased risk for MACE. Targeting diagnostic or therapeutic interventions to this subset may prove clinically useful.

Abstract
Introduction: In the last decade, substantial improvements in the understanding of the biology of multiple myeloma and the development of novel therapeutic options have led to increased response rates, progression free survival and overall survival. In underdeveloped countries, it is a huge challenge to adapt for this evolution, both in diagnostic and therapeutic aspects. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, national analysis of all patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma in a recent period. Diagnostic and prognostic evaluation is carried out according to international recommendations in the majority of patients. Results: The clinical presentation at diagnosis is similar to those reported internationally, although with higher rates of anemia and severe renal failure. Most patients were diagnosed in advanced Durie-Salmon stage (80%), with high ISS score (48% ISS 3). Treatment, both in candidates and non-candidates for transplantation, is conditioned by a limited supply of possibilities, scarce availability of new drugs and absence of clinical trials. This determines lower results in response depth and survival. At 32 months, overall survival was 61.8%, with a statistical difference in favor of younger patients, standard-risk MM and those treated with novel drugs. No patient received antibacterial or antifungal prophylaxis while the majority received adequate antiviral prophylaxis. Infections were the main cause of death (29.7%), overcoming the disease itself. Conclusions: This analysis allows us to raise awareness about strengths and weaknesses in our management of MM patients. There is a need to promote earlier detection, improve supportive care and reduce infection mortality. Greater availability of evidence-based recommended treatment options is required. Access to clinical trials is warranted if care is to be improved.

Abstract
Lorlatinib is a novel third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) which targets anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) as well as receptor tyrosine kinase c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1). A critical limitation of conventional ALK/ROS TKIs is their association with acquired resistance mutations (particularly ALK G1202R and ROS1 G2032R) in the ALK or ROS1 gene, although these are not the only resistance mechanisms. Another limitation of this class of drugs is their inadequate efficacy against central nervous system metastasis, likely attributable to the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Therefore, lorlatinib was developed to overcome these limitations by being more potent, selective and permeable to the BBB than previous-generation ALK/ROS1 TKIs and subsequently received breakthrough therapy designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in April 2017. In September 2018, Japan became the first country where lorlatinib received approval for treating patients with ALK-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer. Eventually, the FDA approved lorlatinib (Lorbrena; Pfizer) in November 2018. Lorlatinib use is expected to increase in importance, owing to its promising efficacy in clinical trials.

Abstract
In this paper, we present the analysis and results of a direct measurement of the cosmic-ray proton spectrum with the CALET instrument onboard the International Space Station, including the detailed assessment of systematic uncertainties. The observation period used in this analysis is from October 13, 2015 to August 31, 2018 (1054 days). We have achieved the very wide energy range necessary to carry out measurements of the spectrum from 50 GeV to 10 TeV covering, for the first time in space, with a single instrument the whole energy interval previously investigated in most cases in separate subranges by magnetic spectrometers (BESS-TeV, PAMELA, and AMS-02) and calorimetric instruments (ATIC, CREAM, and NUCLEON). The observed spectrum is consistent with AMS-02 but extends to nearly an order of magnitude higher energy, showing a very smooth transition of the power-law spectral index from -2.81±0.03 (50-500 GeV) neglecting solar modulation effects (or -2.87±0.06 including solar modulation effects in the lower energy region) to -2.56±0.04 (1-10 TeV), thereby confirming the existence of spectral hardening and providing evidence of a deviation from a single power law by more than 3σ.

Abstract
Background Cancer‐related inflammation has been correlated with cancer prognosis. This study evaluated inflammatory biomarkers, including neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and lymphocyte‐to‐monocyte ratio (LMR), programmed death ligand (PD‐L) 1 expression, and tumour microenvironment in relation to prognosis and clinicopathological features of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing curative hepatic resection. Methods Patients who had liver resection for HCC in 2000–2011 were analysed. Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted for overall (OS) and recurrence‐free (RFS) survival. Immunohistochemical analyses of PD‐L1, CD8 and CD68 expression were performed. HCC cell lines were evaluated for PD‐L1 expression. A subgroup analysis was conducted to determine patient features, survival and the tumour microenvironment. Results were validated in a cohort of patients with HCC treated surgically in 2012–2016. Results Some 281 patients who underwent hepatic resection for HCC were included. Multivariable analysis showed that low LMR was an independent prognostic factor of OS (hazard ratio (HR) 1·59, 95 per cent c.i. 1·00 to 2·41; P = 0·045) and RFS (HR 1·47, 1·05 to 2·04; P = 0·022) after resection. Low preoperative LMR values were correlated with higher α‐fetoprotein values (P < 0·001), larger tumour size (P < 0·001), and high rates of poor differentiation (P = 0·035) and liver cirrhosis (P = 0·008). LMR was significantly lower in PD‐L1‐positive patients than in those with PD‐L1 negativity (P < 0·001). Results were confirmed in the validation cohort. PD‐L1 expression was upregulated in HCC cell lines treated with interferon‐γ and co‐cultured with THP‐1 monocyte cells. Conclusion LMR is an independent predictor of survival after hepatic resection in patients with HCC. Modulation of the immune checkpoint pathway in the tumour microenvironment is associated with a low LMR.

Abstract
An 11-year-old female American shorthair cat was presented with a 3-month history of hindlimb ataxia and knuckling of the left forelimb. Clinical abnormalities included weight loss, hyperaesthesia of the neck and back, cardiac murmur and systemic muscle atrophy. The cat died 10 days after the initial presentation and a necropsy examination was performed. Grossly, extensive pale lesions were seen in the wall of the left ventricle and the septum of the heart. There were no detectable masses in the heart, skeletal muscles or peripheral nerves. Histopathological examination revealed diffuse, extensive infiltration of atypical lymphoid cells in the heart; the cardiac muscles were markedly degenerate and atrophic and were replaced by the neoplastic cells. Neoplastic cells with similar morphology were seen in all specimens of the skeletal muscles and peripheral nerves. Clonality analysis of the paraffin wax-embedded heart tissue revealed a monoclonal rearrangement of the gene encoding the T-cell receptor γ chain. Based on these findings, the case was diagnosed as T-cell lymphoma with tropism for striated muscle and peripheral nerve.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epithelial ovarian cancer has a poor prognosis, mostly due to its late diagnosis and the development of drug resistance after a first platinum-based regimen. The presence of a specific population of "cancer stem cells" could be responsible of the relapse of the tumor and the development of resistance to therapy. For this reason, it would be important to specifically target this subpopulation of tumor cells in order to increase the response to therapy. METHOD We screened a chemical compound library assembled during the COST CM1106 action to search for compound classes active in targeting ovarian stem cells. We here report the results of the high-throughput screening assay in two ovarian cancer stem cells and the differentiated cells derived from them. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Interestingly, there were compounds active only on stem cells, only on differentiated cells, and compounds active on both cell populations. Even if these data need to be validated in ad hoc dose response cytotoxic experiments, the ongoing analysis of the compound structures will open up to mechanistic drug studies to select compounds able to improve the prognosis of ovarian cancer patients.

Abstract
We report a case of refractory hypotension that occurred after epidural injection of local anaesthetic, in a patient who was receiving tricyclic antidepressant therapy and was under general anaesthesia. The patient failed to respond to repeated injections of appropriate doses of sympathomimetics, but did respond to high-dose catecholamine infusions. We suggest that epidural anaesthesia should be used with care when combined with general anaesthesia for patients on long-standing tricyclic antidepressant therapy. If refractory hypotension should occur in such patients, the use of direct-acting vasoconstrictors such as noradrenaline should be considered.

Abstract
The CALorimetric Electron Telescope (CALET) space experiment, which has been developed by Japan in collaboration with Italy and the United States, is a high-energy astroparticle physics mission on the International Space Station (ISS). The primary goals of the CALET mission include investigation of possible nearby sources of high-energy electrons, detailed study of galactic cosmic-ray acceleration and propagation, and search for dark matter signatures. With a long-term observation onboard the ISS, the CALET experiment measures the flux of cosmic-ray electrons (including positrons) up to 20 TeV, gamma-rays to 10 TeV, and nuclei up to 1,000 TeV based on its charge separation capability from Z = 1 to 40. Since the start of science operation in mid-October, 2015, a continuous observation has been maintained without any major interruptions. The number of triggered events over 10 GeV is nearly 20 million per month. By using the data obtained during the first two-years, here we present a summary of the CALET observations: 1) Electron+positron energy spectrum, 2) Nuclei analysis, 3) Gamma-ray observation with a characterization of the on-orbit performance. The search results for the electromagnetic counterparts of LIGO/Virgo gravitational wave events are also discussed.

Abstract
Levels of isoflavones, biomarkers of soy intake, in 24-hour urine (24U) were inversely related to coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality in the World Health Organization's Cardiovascular Disease and Alimentary Comparison Study. Considering 24 U isoflavone levels were highest and CHD mortality was lowest in the Japanese, who maintained the world's longest life expectancy, the association of regular soy intake with cardiometabolic risk was investigated in Japanese adults (20-49 years old) and elderly (50-79 years old). In multivariate analysis adjusted for age, sex, and drug treatments, mean 24 U isoflavone excretion was significantly inversely associated with insulin resistance in the elderly and significantly associated with blood folate and potassium in the elderly, but also positively associated with 24 U salt in the elderly. These findings indicate that low-salt soy should be recommended to improve glucose metabolism in elderly Japanese.
