Abstract
OBJECTIVE Masticatory muscle tendon-aponeurosis hyperplasia, which is associated with limited mouth opening, progresses very slowly from adolescence. The prevalence rates of this disease are higher among women than among men, suggesting oestrogen involvement. As parafunctional habits are frequently observed, mechanical stress is likely involved in the pathogenesis and advancement of this disease. To elucidate the pathological condition, we examined the effect of oestrogen on tenocyte function and the relationship between mechanical stress and crystallin beta A4 (Cryba4), using murine TT-D6 tenocytes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cell proliferation assays, RT-PCR, real-time RT-PCR, Western blot analysis and mechanical loading experiments were performed. RESULTS The physiological dose of oestrogen increased the levels of scleraxis and tenomodulin in TT-D6 tenocytes. In contrast, forced expression of Cryba4 inhibited scleraxis expression in these cells. Surprisingly, oestrogen significantly promoted cell differentiation in the Cryba4-overexpressing TT-D6 tenocytes. Moreover, tensile force induced Cryba4 expression in these tendon cells. CONCLUSION Oestrogen and Cryba4 may be associated with the progression of masticatory muscle tendon-aponeurosis hyperplasia.

Abstract
Abstract:The purpose of this investigation was to compare the heart rate variability at respiratory frequency (HRVRF) in muscle contractions during the inspiratory phase with that during the expiratory phase. Eight volunteers performed pedaling on a cycle ergometer, twice a cycle of respiration (4 sec) against a load of 0.25 Nm/kg BW, of which the timing was adjusted to twice during the inspiration phase (I), once during the expiration, once during the inspiration (El), or twice during the expiration phase (E). Spectral analysis was applied to the R-R intervals of each condition. The amplitude of HRVRF in E was less than half of I (9 ± 2 msec versus 23 ±2 msec). The results indicate that the timing of muscle contraction can affect the heart rate variability even at the frequency band of respiration.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Leptomeningeal disease (LMD) is a pattern of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis that occurs in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients (pts). Some reports have revealed that it occurs more frequently in pts with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+), HER2-MBC than in pts with other subtypes. However, in such ER+HER2-MBC pts, LMD mainly occurs in the terminal stage of the disease; thus, the details of LMD have not been well described.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of ER+HER2-MBC pts who were treated from 2002 to present, with the aim of assessing the incidence, background and outcomes of LMD. Statistical analyses were performed using the chi-squared test, Kaplan-Meyer method, log-rank test and a multivariate COX regression analysis.
Results: We identified a total of 369 ER+HER2-MBC pts, and 102 (27.6%) developed CNS metastasis. LMD developed in 32 (8.7%) pts, with the median time to LMD of 778 days (95% confidence interval [CI] 335-1221; range 0-3757 days) from the diagnosis of MBC. In most cases (28, 87.5%), LMD was accompanied by bone metastasis, and 24 pts (75.0%) showed metastasis to the skull. Thirteen pts (40.6%) had accompanying brain metastasis (BM) at the diagnosis of LMD. The majority of the pts had symptoms (25, 78.1%), and their accompanying extra-CNS lesions showed progression (23, 71.9%). Palliative radiotherapy (RT) was introduced in 27 pts (84.4%), with 4 pts (12.5%) receiving whole CNS RT. The intrathecal injection of methotrexate was introduced to one patient. The median overall survival (OS) from the diagnosis of LMD was 104 days (95% CI 38-170); however, when limited to pts without BM (N = 19), the median OS was 146 days (95%CI 79-213). All of the pts died, and the causes of death were as follows: CNS lesion progression, n=10 (31.3%); cachexia, n=9 (28.1%); respiratory failure, n=8 (25.0%); hepatic failure, n=4 (12.5%) and infection, n=1 (3.1%). There was no significant relationship between the time to LMD and OS after the diagnosis of LMD (Spearman's ρ=0.55, not significant). The multivariate analysis did not reveal any specific factors—such as the patient age, the presence of any symptom(s) at the diagnosis of LMD, the distribution of extra-CNS lesion(s) or the control of extra-CNS lesion(s)—that affected OS after the diagnosis of LMD.
As a control, 70 ER+HER2-MBC pts who developed BM without LMD (BM-only group) within the same observation period were analyzed. The median time to BM was 611 days (95%CI 404-818), and it did not differ from that of pts with LMD (LMD-group) to a statistically significant extent (P >0.1). The BM-only group showed superior OS after the diagnosis of their CNS lesions in comparison to LMD-group (median, 295 days and 104 days, respectively, P <0.001). At the diagnosis of the CNS lesion, the LMD-group showed a higher rate of CNS symptoms (P <0.01), a lower rate of liver metastasis (P <0.05), a higher rate of bone metastasis (P <0.05) and a higher rate of skull metastasis (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Our retrospective analysis at a single institute revealed that the prognosis of LMD in pts with ER+HER2-MBC was still extremely poor. The data suggest that LMD is distinct from BM in terms of its pathology and response to therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose:While the sensitivity to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) depends on breast cancer subtype, it has been reported that over 30% of patients with node-positive breast cancer achieved an axillary pathologic complete response (pCR) after NAC. However, axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) still remains as a standard treatment because of the difficulty of assessment of lymph node (LN) status after NAC. ALND will be omitted if axillary LN status is accurately assessed. Our purpose of this study was to predict the loss of axillary LN metastasis after NAC in primary breast cancer patients.
Patients and Methods: Among 997 consecutive patients who underwent surgery after NAC from January 2006, to December 2016, 279 patients with cytologically proven node-positive were included in this analysis. All patients were assessed using CT or PET-CT, and ultrasonography (US) before NAC. LN status after NAC was assessed by US. Patients with cT4 tumor, and supra/subclavicular and parasternal LN metastasis were excluded. Clinical LN status after NAC (ycN) was compared to pathological LN status (ypN) on surgical specimen. The association between LN status and clinicopathological factors including nuclear grade (NG), tumor size, the use of trastuzumab, and breast cancer subtypes, was assessed.
Result: Of the 279 patients with LN-positive before NAC, 166 patients (59.5%) had ER+/HER2- tumor, 51 patients (18.3%) had ER+/HER2+ tumor, 33 patients (11.8%) had ER-/HER2- tumor, and 29 patients (10.4%) had ER-/HER2+ tumor. 179 patients (64.2%) had ycN0 and 102 patients (36.6%)had ypN0. There was significant difference of rate of the loss of LN metastasis after NAC; 37 of 166 patients (22.3%) with ER+/HER2- tumor, 24 of 51 patients (47.1%) with ER+HER2+ tumor, 19 of 33 patients (57.6%) with ER-HER2- tumor, and 22 of 29 patients (75.9%) with ER-HER2+ tumor, (p<0.01).The accuracy of assessment of the loss of LN metastasis by US (ycN0/ypN0) was high in 20 of 25 patients (80.0%) with ER-/HER2+ tumor and in 14 of 19 patients (73.4%) ER-/HER2- tumor compared to ER+ tumor; 21 of 39 patients (53.8%) with ER+/HER2+ tumor and 34 of 96 patients (35.4%) with ER+/HER2- tumor (p<0.01). For patients with ycN0/ypN+, the median number of residual LN metastasis was 1 in ER-/HER2+ tumor (range:1-2) and ER-/HER2- tumor (range:1-3), and 2 in ER+/HER2+ tumor (range:1-6) and ER+/HER2- tumor (range:1-14). Among patients with ER-/HER2+ tumor, there was association between the loss of LN metastasis and the use of trastuzumab (p<0.01). There was no association between the loss of LN metastasis and NG or tumor size.
Conclusion: Our results showed patients with ER-/HER2+ tumor and cytologically proven LN metastasis who received NAC with trastuzumab might have the loss of LN metastasis if assessed as ycN0 by US after NAC, whereas, the patients in ER+ tumor have a high risk to have residual LN metastases after NAC even if assessed as ycN0. Further studies are warranted the prognostic impact of the omission of ALND for these populations.

Abstract
Objective Previous work has shown that high body mass index (BMI) is associated with low grey matter volume. However, evidence on the relationship between waist circumference (WC) and brain volume is relatively scarce. Moreover, the influence of mild obesity (as indexed by WC and BMI) on brain volume remains unclear. This study explored the relationships between WC and BMI and grey matter volume in a large sample of Japanese adults. Methods The participants were 792 community-dwelling adults (523 men and 269 women). Brain magnetic resonance images were collected, and the correlation between WC or BMI and global grey matter volume were analysed. The relationships between WC or BMI and regional grey matter volume were also investigated using voxel-based morphometry. Results Global grey matter volume was not correlated with WC or BMI. Voxel-based morphometry analysis revealed significant negative correlations between both WC and BMI and regional grey matter volume. The areas correlated with each index were more widespread in men than in women. In women, the total area of the regions significantly correlated with WC was slightly greater than that of the regions significantly correlated with BMI. Conclusions Results show that both WC and BMI were inversely related to regional grey matter volume, even in Japanese adults with somewhat mild obesity. Especially in populations with less obesity, such as the female participants in current study, WC may be more sensitive than BMI as a marker of grey matter volume differences associated with obesity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Immune checkpoint therapy only benefits a fraction of patients, thus huge efforts have been made to develop predictive biomarkers to identify those patients. Immune biomarkers like PD-L1 expression are extremely dynamic and the timing of evaluation, on primary or metastatic disease, may be critical. We have already shown that tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) decrease during metastatic progression in triple-negative (TN) and human epidermal growth factor-2 positive (HER2+) breast cancers (Ogiya R, ASCO 2015), suggesting that mechanisms of immune escape contribute and favour the metastatic progression. In this work we aimed to characterize the modulation and changes of specific immune markers during the metastatic spread comparing paired samples from primary and recurrent breast cancers.
Methods
We retrospectively identified 25 patients with HER2+ (n = 14) and TN (n = 11) early breast cancer diagnosed between 1990 and 2009 at Tokai University Hospital, and who subsequently experienced a first regional or distant recurrence confirmed by tumour biopsy/resection. Haematoxylin and eosin-stained slides of these paired samples were evaluated for stromal TILs. Immunohistochemical staining was performed using primary antibodies against CD4, CD8, Foxp3, PD-L1, PD-L2, and HLA-class I.
Results
The sites of first recurrence was the skin (n = 7), brain (n = 6), lymph node (n = 4), lung (n = 3), bone (n = 2), and one of each of bone marrow, liver and muscle. Immunohistochemical evaluations could not be performed in 5 primary tumours and 2 recurrent tumours because of the small quantity of the specimens. The percentage of CD8+ T cells staining in the primary tumours was significantly higher (median 16%) than that in recurrent tumours (median 10%) (paired t-test, p = 0.008) Similarly, the percentage of CD4+ T cells staining in the primary tumours was significantly higher (median 40%) than that in recurrent tumours (median 25%) (p = 0.026). The percentage of Foxp3+ T cells was low (<10%) and similar in both primary and recurrent tumours (p = 0.16). PD-L1, PD-L2, and HLA class I antibody expression was not statistically different between primary and recurrent tumours, but conversions from positive to negative and vice versa were observed. PD-L1+ staining (≥1%) was 90% and 85% in primary and metastatic tumours, respectively.

Conclusions
Tumours at first metastatic recurrence in HER2+ and TN breast cancers have a lower percentage of both CD8+ and CD4+ T cells compared to primary tumours, confirming a potential role of immune escape in tumour progression. Other immune markers, including PD-L1, were not found to change significantly, but negative/positive conversions were observed. This suggest that an evaluation of disease at the time of immunotherapy administration might be more informative. These findings warrant larger confirmation studies.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The 21-gene Recurrence Score (RS) (Oncotype DX®; Genomic Health, Redwood City, CA) is the most valid and reliable multigene assay to predict prognosis or response to treatment in hormone receptor-positive invasive breast cancer patients. However, in Japan, the test is expensive (about 4,000 US dollars) and one of the problems is that about 30% of patients will be categorized as having moderate recurrence risk. If clinicopathologic factors can be used to predict patients with low recurrence, many patients can avoid postoperative chemotherapy without testing the RS. Such predictors shall have a substantial impact on medical economics too. The aim of this study was to determine significant clinicopathological predictors for low recurrence risk by RS in patients with estrogen receptor-positive primary breast cancer.
Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in tertiary referral hospital in Tokyo, Japan. Two hundreds twenty patients with estrogen receptor-positive invasive breast cancer underwent surgery for breast cancer and tested for RS from November 2009 to March 2016. RS £18 was defined as low recurrence risk. The patients were divided into 2 groups, patients with low recurrence risk (n=143) and with a moderate/high recurrence risk (n=77). Age, menopausal status, histologic type (invasive ductal vs. lobular carcinoma), nuclear grade, progesterone receptor (PR) expression, Ki67 index, tumor size, lymph node status, and lymphovascular invasion were considered as candidate predictors. Student's t test or Wilcoxon-Rank Sum test and Fisher's exact test was used for continuous variables and proportion, respectively. Simple and multiple logistic regression model were used to determine significant predictors. Classification and regression tree analysis (CART) was also conducted.
Results: Mean age (SD) of low and moderate/high recurrence patients was 53 years-old (9.4) and 55 years (10.2), respectively. Univariate analyses revealed that the invasive lobular carcinoma, the high PR expression, Ki67 < 24, and the absence of lymphovascular invasion were significantly associated with low recurrence risk. According to multiple logistic regression, The odds ratio (OR) [95%CI] of histological type (invasive lobular), high PR expression, Ki67 < 24, and the absence of lymphovascular invasion was 0.43 [0.08-1.8], 10 [5.4-23.6], 0.95 [0.93-0.97], and 0.57 [0.23-1.18], respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.83. CART showed that the probability of low recurrence risk was 79% if with high PR expression, and 92% if with high PR expression and Ki67 < 24.
Conclusions: High PR expression and Ki67 < 24 were significant predictors for low recurrence risk by RS in estrogen receptor-positive invasive breast cancer patients. More than 90% of patients with high PR expression and Ki67 < 24 could be classified as low recurrence risk by RS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aging anorexia, defined as loss of appetite and/or reduced food intake, has been postulated as a risk factor for frailty. Impairments of taste and smell perception in elderly people can lead to reduced enjoyment of food and contribute to the anorexia of aging. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between frailty and taste and smell perception in elderly people living in urban areas. DESIGN Data from the baseline evaluation of 768 residents aged ≥ 65 years who enrolled in a comprehensive geriatric health examination survey was analyzed. Fourteen out of 29-items of Appetite, Hunger, Sensory Perception questionnaire (AHSP), frailty, age, sex, BMI, chronic conditions and IADL were evaluated. AHSP was analyzed as the total score of 8 taste items (T) and 6 smell items (S). Frailty was diagnosed using a modified Fried's frailty criteria. RESULTS The area under the receiver operator curves for detection of frailty demonstrated that T (0.715) had moderate accuracy, but S (0.657) had low accuracy. The cutoffs, sensitivity, specificity and Youden Index (YI) values for each perception were T: Cutoff 26.5 (YI: 0.350, sensitivity: 0.639, specificity: 0.711) and S: Cutoff 18.5 (YI: 0.246, sensitivity: 0.690, specificity: 0.556). Results from multiple logistic regression models, after adjusting for age, sex, IADL and chronic conditions showed that participants under the T cutoff were associated with exhaustion and those below the S cutoff were associated with slow walking speed. The adjusted logistic models for age, sex, IADL and chronic conditions showed significant association between T and frailty (OR 2.81, 95% CI 1.29-6.12), but not between S and frailty (OR 1.73, 95% CI 0.83-3.63). CONCLUSIONS Taste and smell perception, particularly taste perception, were associated with a greater risk of frailty in community-dwelling elderly people. These results suggest that lower taste and smell perception may be an indicator of frailty in old age.

Abstract
The theoretical implications of introducing the “selective play” paradigm to experimental gaming research are discussed. In the traditional “forced play” environment, players are locked in a particular relationship and do not have options of leaving the current relationship and joining another. In the selective play environment players are given the options of leaving the current relationship andforming a new relationship. A previous computer tournament of prisoner's dilemma network (Hayashi, 1993) showed that out-for-tat (OFT) strategy performed very well in the selective play environment. OFT keeps cooperating with a partner until the partner defects; it deserts the partner and turns to someone else as soon as the partner defects. Results of a new computer tournament that introduced opportunity costs, however, point to the limits of the OFT's strength. OFT prematurely forms a commitment relationship with a cooperative partner and fails to utilize better opportunities. The best performer in the second tournament was the only one who was “trustful” and had a positive bias in calculating the expected payoff of interactions with a “stranger.”

Abstract
Although both systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may lead to joint deformity, SLE arthritis is typically non-erosive and often accompanied by Jaccoud's deformity. Therefore, we examined characteristics of joint and tendon lesions in patients with SLE and RA by ultrasonography. Fifteen treatment-naïve SLE patients and 40 treatment-naïve RA patients with joint symptoms were included in this study. The hand joints and related tendons were ultrasonographically examined using grey-scale (GS) and power Doppler (PD). Joint involvement was comparably observed in patients with SLE and RA (80% versus 95%, p = 0.119). However, tendon involvement was more frequent in SLE than in RA (93% versus 65%, p = 0.045), especially in the wrist joints (73% versus 40%, p = 0.037). When we investigated the intensity of US findings, the joint synovitis score (GS + PD) per affected joint was lower in SLE than RA (2.0 versus 2.6, p = 0.019), while tendon inflammation score was not significantly different (2.1 versus 2.2, p = 0.738). Finally, the examination of concordance between joint and tendon involvement in the same finger revealed that joint lesion appeared in only 49% of fingers having tendon involvement in the SLE group, which was significantly less than 74% in the RA group ( p = 0.010). Thus, as compared with RA, SLE arthropathy is characterized by the predominance of tenosynovitis/periextensor tendon inflammation, which is likely to develop independently from joint synovitis.

Abstract
The pathogenicity of 331 blast isolates (Pyricularia oryzae Cavara) collected from different regions and ecosystems for rice cultivation in Bangladesh was evaluated by compatibility on 23 differential varieties (DV), each harboring a single blast resistance gene, and susceptible 'Lijiangxintuanheigu' (LTH). A wide variation in virulence was found among the isolates, and 267 races were classified using a new designation system. Virulence of blast isolates against DV carrying the resistance genes Pia, Pib, Pit, Pik-s, Piz-t, Pi12(t), Pi19(t), and Pi20(t), as well as avirulence against those carrying Pish, Pi9, Pita-2, and Pita, was distributed widely in Bangladesh. Cluster analysis of the compatibility data on the DV initially classified the isolates into groups I and II. The virulence spectra of the two groups differed mainly according to the reactions of the DV to Pii, Pi3, Pi5(t), Pik-m, Pi1, Pik-h, Pik, Pik-p, and Pi7(t). Group I isolates were distributed mainly in rainfed lowlands, whereas group II isolates were found mainly in irrigated lowlands; however, there were no critical differences in geographic distribution of the blast isolates. In total, 26 isolates, which could be used to identify the 23 resistance genes of the DV on the basis of their reaction patterns, were selected as a set of standard differential blast isolates. To our knowledge, this is the first clear demonstration of the diversity and differentiation of blast races in Bangladesh. This information will be used to develop a durable blast protection system in that country.
