Abstract
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a well-recognized and potentially fatal complication of cardiac transplantation that commonly involves the gastrointestinal tract. Herein, we report a case of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding from recurrent terminal ileac ulcers mimicking PTLD in a heart recipient treated with everolimus (EVL). A 40-year-old man underwent heart transplantation for dilated cardiomyopathy 3 years prior to the current admission and was treated with tacrolimus and EVL. He was admitted to a local hospital because of fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. His symptoms persisted and, 3 weeks later, hematochezia occurred; thus, he was transferred to our hospital. As computed tomography and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography showed bowel-wall thickening of the terminal ileum, gastrointestinal PTLD was initially suspected. However, although colonoscopy- performed after switching EVL to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)-showed terminal ileac ulcers, the histologic examination revealed no findings corresponding to PTLD. As EVL may delay ulcer healing, MMF was maintained for 3 months. After repeated colonoscopy showed ulcer healing, MMF was switched back to EVL for cardiac allograft vasculopathy prevention. Three weeks later, he was emergently admitted to a local hospital for life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding from a recurrent terminal ileal ulcer, which required hemostatic forceps hemostasis. As EVL is suspected to be associated with recurrent ileal ulcers, EVL was again switched back to MMF. The ileal ulcers resolved, without recurrence in 3 months of clinical follow-up. This case demonstrates that cases of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding from recurrent terminal ileac ulcers can mimic PTLD in a heart recipient treated with EVL.

Abstract
We employed stereological analyses for whole quantification of hypoglossal (XII) motoneurons in adult rats that received varying degrees of resection of the XII nerve. Various lengths of nerve gaps (0.0-13.3 mm) were made at the main trunk of the unilateral XII nerve, and the total number of XII neurons on the injured and uninjured sides was counted 12 weeks after nerve resection. The stereologically estimated total number of XII neurons decreased after various lengths of nerve resection, and survival rates ranged from 34.4% to 87.1%. Statistically significant negative correlations were observed between increasing length of the resected nerve and decreasing XII neuron survival. It was concluded that the total number of XII neurons decreased after nerve resection and that survival rates of XII neurons were related to distances between resected nerve stamps.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a transient cerebrovascular disorder putatively caused by some immunosuppressive agents. CASE REPORT We recently encountered a 47-year-old female patient diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy who developed RCVS after heart transplantation. A triple-drug regimen consisting of tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and a corticosteroid was started after surgery. On postoperative day (POD) 11, the patient developed a severe headache, although computed tomography of the head demonstrated no signs of hemorrhage or infarction. At first, both a painkiller and migraine drugs were regularly administered to the patient. On POD 21, however, she developed an unbearable headache with a visual field defect and mild hemiparesis of the right hand. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a cerebral infarction in the left occipital lobe with diffuse vasoconstriction of both the middle and posterior cerebral arteries. A diagnosis of RCVS was made and tacrolimus, a drug suspected to cause RCVS, was discontinued. In its place, two doses of basiliximab followed by everolimus, both of which are alternatives for tacrolimus, were given. The corticosteroid dose was also increased. Furthermore, to release vasoconstriction, both verapamil and diltiazem were administered. On POD 27, cerebrovascular constrictions were shown to be relieved on brain MRI and the patient's neurological symptoms subsequently almost completely diminished. CONCLUSION RCVS should always be considered as a cause of headache in heart transplant recipients because tacrolimus, an immunosuppressive agent, may trigger RCVS. This will allow rapid intervention that is essential for avoiding irreversible neurological deficits.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tuberculous paradoxical reactions (PRs) are excessive immune reactions occurring after antituberculosis (TB) treatment and are commonly observed in immunocompromised hosts such as patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. CASE REPORT We recently encountered a 63-year-old male heart transplant recipient who developed tuberculous PR after treatment for miliary TB. The patient had been receiving immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil for over 15 years. The diagnosis of miliary TB was made based on the presence of intermittent fever and fatigue; thus, anti-TB treatments (isoniazid, levofloxacin, ethambutol, and pyrazinamide) were started, which led to rapid defervescence and regression of the granular shadow and pleural effusion. However, a new persistent fever and confused state developed 1 month after the anti-TB therapy was started. After excluding possible etiologies of the patient's symptom, a PR was suspected, and anti-TB drugs were continued; corticosteroids were added as anti-inflammatory agents. After that, he has shown a favorable course with long-term anti-TB chemotherapy. CONCLUSION A PR should always be considered when the patients' symptoms of tuberculosis re-exacerbate after an appropriate anti-TB therapy. A PR commonly occurs in patients with various immunologic conditions including heart transplant recipients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy is the "gold standard" alternative therapy for patients with advanced heart failure. However, LVAD therapy is still uncommon in the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the clinical outcomes of patients from Japan supported with the HeartMate II (HM-II) LVAD at our institution. METHODS Ninety-two patients (mean 44.3 ± 12.1 years, 68 men, average body mass index 1.65 ± 0.28 m2; 81 with nonischemic cardiomyopathy) who underwent HM-II implantation for bridge to transplantation (n = 91) or for destination therapy in a clinical study (n = 1) at the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center between April 2013 and October 2017 were enrolled in this analysis. Preoperatively, most patients (n = 73, 79%) had an INTERMACS (Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support) profile of between level 2 and 4. Postoperatively, the average pump speed was 8602 ± 258 rpm and the hemodynamics were well compensated. RESULTS Adverse events consisted of 38 (41.3%) hemolysis, 30 (32.6%) major infection, 27 (29.3%) major bleeding (6 [6.5%] with gastrointestinal bleeding), and 18 (19.6%) neurologic dysfunction events. Eighteen patients underwent heart transplantation (HTx) after an average of 32.9 ± 8.9 months of VAD support, and overall survival at both 6 months and 3 years was 96.3%. CONCLUSION Clinical outcome among patients with HM-II at our institution is satisfactory for both survival and adverse events. The HM-II can provide effective hemodynamic support during the extremely long waiting period for HTx in Japan.

Abstract
It is well known that acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) has various neuroprotective effects against neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, it has been reported that ALC facilitates myelination of regenerated axons after peripheral nerve injuries. We previously reported that spontaneous regeneration of the lateral olfactory tract (LOT), the main fiber tract of the central olfactory system, consistently occurred in newborn rats and a majority of these regenerated fibers were unmyelinated in neonatally LOT-transected young adult rats. To investigate the effects of ALC treatment on myelination in LOT, neonatal rats were treated with ALC after LOT transection. Immunohistochemistry for myelin basic protein showed more positive areas in ALC-treated rats than in control rats. Moreover, the number of myelinated axons of regenerated fibers was assessed using electron microscopy and was found to be statistically higher in ALC-treated rats compared to control rats. The study revealed that ALC accelerates myelination of regenerated fibers in neonatally LOT-injured young adult rats.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transplant coronary arterial vasculopathy (TCAV) is a major cause of death after heart transplantation (HTx). Palliative coronary revascularization has been attempted in patients with severe TCAV; however, the outcome has not been fully elucidated. METHODS Ninety-six patients who were treated after HTx at our institute between 1999 and 2015 were screened for TCAV. TCAV was defined as >70% stenosis on coronary angiography (CAG) or a maximal intimal thickness of >0.5 mm in the right or left coronary arteries on intracoronary ultrasonography (IVUS). In the present study, the outcomes of patients with severe TCAV who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were investigated. RESULTS TCAV containing donor-transmitted atherosclerosis was cumulatively found in 69 patients (71.9% of the total; mean age, 34.6 ± 13.1 years; 52 men; mean follow-up duration, 83.0 ± 60.4 months). Five (7.2%) and 64 (92.8%) of the 69 patients were diagnosed as having TCAV by use of CAG and IVUS, respectively. All 5 patients diagnosed by with the use of CAG underwent coronary revascularization between 1 and 236 months after HTx. Three patients underwent PCI with drug-eluting stents, with a primary success rate of 100%. No angiographic restenosis occurred in 2 patients at 31 and 36 months after PCI, respectively. Meanwhile, 2 patients underwent CABG. No peri-operative complications occurred, and all grafts were patent as assessed by use of CAG at 34 and 5 months after CABG. CONCLUSIONS Coronary revascularization was feasible and effective for severe TCAV with middle-term follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Retrograde neuronal cell death does not occur in mature motoneurons following the axonal injury of peripheral nerves. However, a previous study suggested that retrograde neuronal cell death does occur in adult rats after the creation of double lesions on the hypoglossal (XII) nerve based on a substantial decrease in the number of XII neurons. Using stereological methods, we examined neuronal apoptosis in XII neurons and the total number of XII neurons following repeated crush injuries to the XII nerve. METHODS The right XII nerve of adult rats was crushed three times at one-week intervals with a brain aneurysm clip. At 4 weeks after the final crush, the total numbers of XII neurons on the injured right and uninjured left sides were estimated stereologically. RESULTS After repeated crush injuries, no apoptosis was evident in XII neurons as indicated by immunostaining for cleaved caspase-3. Moreover, immunohistochemistry for the vesicular acetylcholine transporter revealed axonal elongation in the tongue 4 weeks after repeated crush injuries. At 4 weeks, the total numbers of XII neurons were 7800 ± 290 on the injured right side and 8000 ± 230 on the uninjured left side, and no significant difference was evident between the injured and uninjured sides. CONCLUSION Neuronal cell death does not occur in XII neurons and the total number of XII neurons does not decrease after repeated crush injuries of the XII nerve in adult rats.

Abstract
It was revealed that regeneration of the lateral olfactory tract (LOT) occurred in developing rats and the regenerated olfactory system was functional 4 weeks after transection. The aim of this study was to determine the earliest onset of functional recovery in LOT-injured rats and to quantify regenerated nerve components with functional correlation. Neonatal rats on postnatal day (P) 2 were subjected to unilateral transection of the left LOT and underwent unilateral removal of the right olfactory bulb on P11. Functional recovery of the tract injury was assessed by the suckling capability, which can be achieved by olfaction. Suckling capability was observed on P12 in most neonatally LOT-transected pups. Rat pups were subjected to unilateral transection of the left LOT on P2, and received injections of biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) into the bilateral olfactory bulb on P5 to quantify normal and regenerated nerve components in the olfactory cortices at the level of the olfactory tubercle. BDA(+) areas and density indices of the olfactory cortices in the neonatally LOT-transected P12 pups were 11.05×105μm2 and 0.35 on the normal right side and 4.34×105μm2 and 0.21 on the transected left side. We concluded that functional recovery of the LOT-transected neonatal rats occurred as early as 10days after tract transection and that areas and densities of regenerated nerve components essential for functional recovery were approximately 40% and 60% of the age-matched normal values in the olfactory cortices at the level of the olfactory tubercle.
