Abstract
A 62-year-old male was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and treated with a fludarabine-containing regimen which maintained the disease in a partial response. Nine years after diagnosis, a rapidly growing systemic lymphadenopathy was observed, and a biopsy specimen revealed the presence of typical Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells, surrounded by T-lymphocytes and CLL cells. Sequencing analysis of the germline complementary determining region 3 (CDR3) region of the immunoglobulin heavy chain (IGH) gene showed that the Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg cells were clonally unrelated to the preexisting CLL cells and the HRS cells were composed of five different clones, leading to the molecular diagnosis of de novo lymphocyte-rich classic Hodgkin lymphoproliferative diseases (LPDs) with small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). As the initial treatment was neither effective for classic Hodgkin LPDs nor for SLL, Bendamustine, Rituximab (BR) was started and complete remission was achieved, which has continued for more than one year so far. BR may be a good therapeutic option for both entities without causing hematological toxicity.

Abstract
Dynamic formation of self-assemblies from molecular components is a useful and efficient way to produce molecular and supramolecular architectures with sophisticated functions. The labile coordination bond and dynamic covalent bond as a reversible bond have often been used to create a well-organized supramolecular self-assembly. In order to realize sophisticated novel functions of the supramolecular self-assemblies, dipyrrin complexes have recently been employed as a functional unit and incorporated into the supramolecular architectures because of their outstanding properties and functions such as a high photostability and strong light absorption/emission. This review article summarizes recent development in functional supramolecular architectures of the dipyrrin complexes produced by coordination to a metal ion and dynamic covalent bond formation. We first describe the synthesis and unique functions of a series of discrete supramolecular architectures: helicates, macrocycles, and cages. The polymeric supramolecular self-assemblies with 1D, 2D, and 3D structures are then introduced as a functional infinite supramolecular architecture.

Abstract
Cyclophilin A (CypA) has been reported to be upregulated in malignant tumors. CypA expression is thought to be associated with acquisition of tumor growth and anti-apoptotic function. Although upregulation of CypA has been reported in lung adenocarcinoma, its clinicopathological significance and roles in malignant progression remain unclear. Here we investigated the implications of CypA expression for outcome in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Lung adenocarcinoma specimens from 198 cases were selected and reclassified according to the World Health Organization classification (4th edition) and the Noguchi classification. CypA expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry, and the H-score was calculated on the basis of intensity and proportion. The specificity of the antibody used was confirmed by Western blotting and the cut-off point was determined from the ROC curve. Sixty-seven cases (33.8%) had low CypA expression (CypA-L group) and 131 (66.2%) had high CypA expression (CypA-H group). Many cases of adenocarcinoma in situ were CypA-L, and advanced adenocarcinomas tended to be classified as CypA-H. Clinically, patients with CypA-H tumors showed a significantly poorer prognosis than those with CypA-L tumors. This is the first investigation of the implications of the CypA expression level in terms of the clinical characteristics of resected lung adenocarcinomas.

Abstract
Rapidly enlarging breast tumors due to hemorrhage are clinically rare. Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) of breast is known to have aggressive behavior and poor clinical course compared to invasive ductal carcinoma. Surgeons should recognize the morphology of IMPC due to its aggressive clinical behaviors.
Introduction Rapidly enlarging mammary tumors, including invasive breast tumors, are clinically rare. Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) of the breast is known to have aggressive behavior and poor clinical course compared to invasive ductal carcinoma. Case presentation An 87-year-old woman presented with a rapidly enlarging tumor of the right breast over the course of 3 weeks. Ultrasonography and computed tomography of the chest revealed a giant tumor located on the right chest wall, with heterogeneous parenchymal components and several cystic lesions. Emergency mastectomy was performed because of rapid tumor enlargement complicated by hemorrhage. Histopathological diagnosis confirmed a papillotubular invasive ductal carcinoma with an IMPC component. Tumor cells were negative for estrogen and progesterone receptors, and the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 score was 2+. Discussion There has been only one report of breast carcinoma with rapid enlargement caused by spontaneous intratumoral hemorrhage to date. IMPC is associated with a high incidence of axillary lymph node metastases, frequent local recurrence, and a poor clinical outcome. In the present case, the specific breast cancer type can be considered as potential factors responsible for hemorrhage induction within the tumor that further enhanced rapid tumor growth. Conclusion IMPC is a rare, clinically aggressive variant of invasive ductal carcinoma. Owing to its aggressive clinical behaviors, surgeons should readily recognize the morphology of IMPC.

Abstract
A liquid/liquid interfacial synthesis is employed, for the first time, to synthesize a covalent two-dimensional polymer nanosheet. Copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) between a three-way terminal alkyne and azide at a water/dichloromethane interface generates a 1,2,3-triazole-linked nanosheet. The resultant nanosheet, with a flat and smooth texture, has a maximum domain size of 20 μm and minimum thickness of 5.3 nm. The starting monomers in the organic phase and the copper catalyst in the aqueous phase can only meet at the liquid/liquid interface as a two-dimensional reaction space; this allows them to form the two-dimensional polymer. The robust triazole linkage generated by irreversible covalent-bond formation allows the nanosheet to resist hydrolysis under both acidic and alkaline conditions, and to endure pyrolysis up to more than 300 °C. The coordination ability of the triazolyl group enables the nanosheet to act as a reservoir for metal ions, with an affinity order of Pd2+ >Au3+ >Cu2+ .

Abstract
Photoluminescent coordination nanosheets (CONASHs) comprising three-way terpyridine (tpy) ligands and zinc(II) ions are created by allowing the two constitutive components to react with each other at a liquid/liquid interface. Taking advantage of bottom-up CONASHs, or flexibility in organic ligand design and coordination modes, we demonstrate the diversity of the tpy-zinc(II) CONASH in structures and photofunctions. A combination of 1,3,5-tris[4-(4'-2,2':6',2″-terpyridyl)phenyl]benzene (1) and Zn(BF4)2 affords a cationic CONASH featuring the bis(tpy)Zn complex motif (1-Zn), while substitution of the zinc source with ZnSO4 realizes a charge-neutral CONASH with the [Zn2(μ-O2SO2)2(tpy)2] motif [1-Zn2(SO4)2]. The difference stems from the use of noncoordinating (BF4-) or coordinating and bridging (SO42-) anions. The change in the coordination mode alters the luminescence (480 nm blue in 1-Zn; 552 nm yellow in 1-Zn2(SO4)2). The photophysical property also differs in that 1-Zn2(SO4)2 shows solvatoluminochromism, whereas 1-Zn does not. Photoluminescence is also modulated by the tpy ligand structure. 2-Zn contains triarylamine-centered terpyridine ligand 2 and features the bis(tpy)Zn motif; its emission is substantially red-shifted (590 nm orange) compared with that of 1-Zn. CONASHs 1-Zn and 2-Zn possess cationic nanosheet frameworks with counteranions (BF4-), and thereby feature anion exchange capacities. Indeed, anionic xanthene dyes were taken up by these nanosheets, which undergo quasi-quantitative exciton migration from the host CONASH. This series of studies shows tpy-zinc(II) CONASHs as promising potential photofunctional nanomaterials.

Abstract
New bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II) complex micro- and nanosheets containing zinc(II) porphyrin (N2) are synthesized. A liquid/liquid interface method between dipyrrin porphyrin ligand L2 and zinc acetate produces N2 with a large domain size. N2 can be layered quantitatively onto a flat substrate by a modified Langmuir-Schäfer method. N2 deposited on a SnO2 electrode functions as a photoanode for a photoelectric conversion system. The photoresponse of N2 covers the whole visible wavelength range (400-650 nm), with a maximum quantum efficiency of more than twice that of a bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II) complex nanosheet without porphyrin.

Abstract
Retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma is a relatively rare and aggressive tumor. Because of its rarity, it is difficult to arrive at a definite diagnosis preoperatively and to design an effective strategy. Here the authors report a case of peritoneal leiomyosarcoma in which diagnosis was difficult because the clinical course resembled that of ovarian cancer. A 77-year-old woman diagnosed with ovarian cancer underwent laparotomy. The excised tumor contained a necrotic polypoid mass that histologically displayed the features of leiomyosarcoma. The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with a combination of gemcitabine and docetaxel but died two months after surgery owing to the aggressive behavior of the tumor. Because the preoperative diagnosis in this case was ovarian cancer, arriving at a treatment strategy assuming peritoneal leiomyosarcoma was difficult. If complete surgical resection of tumor is not performed, as in the present case, the prognosis can be extremely poor.

Abstract
The aim of this analysis was to investigate the onset time and significance of maximum volume of polyhydraminios and whether the tter was associated with causes. This was a retrospective cohort study between 2012 and 2014. A total number of 68 singleton pregancies were analyzed. Gestational age at onset of polyhydramnios was 30.0 ± 2.8 (25-36) weeks in maternal factor, 30.0 ± 3.5 (25- 7) weeks in fetal factor, and 32.3 ± 2.0 (27-37) weeks in idiopathic factor. Median of maximum amniotic fluid index (AFI) was gnificantly late onset in idiopathic factor. Diabetes, gestational or pre-existing, was present in all of women (ten cases) in maternal facror. Higher AFI was found to be associated with an increased frequency of prenatally detected congenital anomalies. Abnormal fetal kary- type noted in 18/45 (40%) cases of polyhydramnios. Polyhydramnios diagnosed on ultrasound requires further maternal and fetal iagnostic tests.

Abstract
This was a retrospective cohort study between 2002 and 2011. A total number of 150 singleton pregnancies with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) (before 34 weeks) were analyzed. Histological chorioamnionitis (Blanc grade III) was significantly increased over three days from onset of premature rupture of membranes. The positive relationship was strengthened (odds ratios, 3.5; 95% confidence intervals, 1.5-5.2) over three days from onset of preterm PROM. PROM is a risk factor important for histological chorioamnionitis. To avoid neonatal infection, early termination is recommended in preterm PROM patients.

Abstract
The authors here report a 54-year-old (gravida 0, para 0), who claimed to have had her menarche at age 13 and menopause at 52 years. Two months prior to presentation, the subject first noticed a hard but elastic fist-sized mass in the left inguinal region that gradually grew, causing pressure-related pain. Although the external genitalia appeared female, the vagina was short and blind-ending, and no uterus or ovaries were identified on transvaginal ultrasound. Chromosome banding results (G-band method) showed 46XY. Laparoscopy revealed no traces of a vestigial uterus or ovaries; thus, based on the appearance of the external genitalia, a diagnosis of testicular feminization syndrome was made. Pathological testing of the palpable mass led to a diagnosis of seminoma with Leydig cell hyperplasia. Thus, in this case, the development of a seminoma in an undescended testis led to the detection of testicular feminization syndrome.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION This study aimed to estimate the effectiveness of hysteroscopic myomectomy for symptomatic submucous uterine fibroids and to identify prognostic factors for persistent or recurrent symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 237 patients who underwent hysteroscopic myomectomy were divided into three groups according to the classification of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy: Type 0 (n=116), Type I (n=97), and Type II (n=24). Medical records and videotape records of all patients were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Improvement of symptoms was achieved in 100% of Types 0 and I, and 66.7% of Type II. The five-year cumulative symptom-free rates after hysteroscopic myomectomy were 96.7% ± 1.9%, 87.8% 6.7%, and 44.5% ± 12.7% in Types 0, I, and II, respectively. The mean symptom-free periods were 46.2 ± 2.6, 47.7 ± 2.7, and 24.7 ± 6.3 months in Types 0, I, and II, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that co-existence of other myomas and Type II were independent prognostic factors for recurrence of symptoms. CONCLUSION Type I fibroids are a good indication for hysteroscopic myomectomy. In Type II, some patients feel that their symptoms improve, but this curative effect could be temporary.

Abstract
Bottom-up approaches have gained significant attention recently for the creation of nano-sized, ordered functional structures and materials. Stepwise coordination techniques, in which ligand molecules and metal sources are reacted alternatively, offer several advantages. Coordination bonds are stable, reversible, and self-assembling, and the resultant metal complex motifs may contain functionalities unique to their own characteristics. This review focuses on metal complex wire systems, specifically the bottom-up fabrication of linear and branched bis(terpyridine)metal complex wires on electrode surfaces. This system possesses distinct and characteristic electronic functionalities, intra-wire redox conduction and excellent long-range electron transport ability. This series of comprehensive studies exploited the customizability of bis(terpyridine)metal complex wires, including examining the influence of building blocks. In addition, simple yet effective electron transfer models were established for redox conduction and long-range electron transport. A fabrication technique for an ultra-long bis(terpyridine)metal complex wire is also described, along with its properties and functionalities.

Abstract
The present authors analyzed patients' backgrounds and pre-surgical findings to clarify the risk factors of rupture of fallopian tubal pregnancy. The surgical findings 113 cases were clearly diagnosed as fallopian tubal pregnancy with or without rupture. Twenty-six cases of fallopian tubal pregnancy were ruptured and 87 cases were not ruptured at the time of operation. The risk factors of fallopian tubal rupture were assessed by Chi-square for independence test and multiple regression analysis. Obesity (BMI over 26), prior birth history, social welfare entitlement, ultrasonography findings of fetal heart movement, and pre-surgical serum beta-hCG level more than 3,000 mIU/ml patient were significantly higher risk in fallopian tubal rupture. Fertility treatment patient were at significantly lower risk for fallopian tubal rupture. Higher beta-hCG levels, especially >3,000 mIU/ml is associated with increased risk of fallopian tubal rupture in ectopic pregnancy.

Abstract
This is the first report in which crizotinib, an anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) inhibitor, reduced an atypical carcinoid tumor with ALK rearrangement. A 70-year-old man developed a tumor in the left lung and multiple metastases to the lung and brain. The pathology of transbronchial biopsied specimens demonstrated an atypical carcinoid pattern. Combined with immunohistochemical findings, we diagnosed the tumor as atypical carcinoid. ALK gene rearrangement was observed by both immunohistochemical (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization. He was treated with chemotherapy as first-line therapy, however, the tumor did not respond to chemotherapy. Thereafter, he was treated with crizotinib, which successfully reduced the tumors.

Abstract
The titled coordination polymers feature crystallization, single wire exfoliation, processability, and applicability to photoelectric and thermoelectric conversion systems.
One-dimensional coordination polymers (1D-CPs) tend either to dissociate into constitutive ligands and metals readily in solution, or to aggregate randomly and amorphously, which prevents them from widespread application. In the present research, 1D-CPs comprising bridging dipyrrin ligands and divalent metal ions (Zn2+, Ni2+, and Cu2+) are synthesized. A liquid/liquid interfacial reaction gives rise to single crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis: A dichloromethane solution of the ligand is layered with aqueous metal(ii) acetate, such that the coordination reaction proceeds at the liquid/liquid interface. Isolated single fibers of the zinc coordination polymer may be exfoliated from the single crystal or bulk solid upon ultrasonication. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) detects the isolated fibers with lengths of more than several μm. The exfoliated 1D-CP wires feature good processability, realizing a conjugate with single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), and a thin film on a transparent SnO2 electrode. The processed materials show electric conversion ability: For example, the modified SnO2 electrode serves as a photoanode for a photoelectric conversion system. The designability and tunability of the present 1D-CPs is demonstrated by a ligand modification, affording a luminescent property and an extension of the photoelectric conversion response to longer wavelengths.

Abstract
Zingiber zerumbet contained the typically essential oils. The research aims to evaluate the effect Z. zerumbet essential oil and zerumbone inhlation on rats body weight, food consumption, parasympathetic nerve activity and brown adipose tissue temperature. The essential oils of Z. zerumbet was isolated from the rhizome of Z. zerumbet. The component in the oil and zerumbone structure was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. The structure of zerumbone crystal was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The Sprague dawley male adult rats were divided into 4 groups namely Normal Diet (ND) group, High Fat Diet (HFD) group, HFD inhaled Z. zerumbet essential oils group and HFD inhaled zerumbone group. The results showed that inhalation of Z. zerumbet essential oils and zerumbone increased the food consumption as well as increased the body weight. The increasing body weight of rats which inhaled Z. zerumbet essential oils and zerumbone is by decreasing the sympathetic nerve activity. In conclusion, inhaling Z. zerumbet essential oils and zerumbone as the major component of the oils increased the weight gain.

Abstract
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) has excellent potential as a non-invasive therapeutic tool in various fields of medicine. We present a case of twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence, in which non-invasive blood flow occlusion in the acardiac fetus was successfully achieved by means of HIFU exposure from outside the maternal abdomen. HIFU was applied to blood vessels of the acardiac fetus at the point at which the umbilical cord entered the body in a series of four procedures at 3-day intervals starting at 13 weeks' gestation, and in a final procedure with higher power at 17 weeks. The HIFU intensity was set at approximately 2300 W/cm(2) for the initial series of procedures and at 4600 W/cm(2) for the final procedure, with exposure periods of 10 s. As color Doppler examination revealed absence of blood flow to the acardiac fetus after the second round of HIFU exposure, we concluded that complete occlusion of target vessels had been achieved. Delivery was by Cesarean section at 37 weeks' gestation. A male neonate (the pump fetus) was born weighing 1903 g with Apgar scores of 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 min, respectively. At the time of writing, the baby was healthy and growing normally, with the exception of congenital pseudarthrosis.

Abstract
Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a serious complication of monochorionic twin pregnancies, in which arterioarterial anastomoses allow blood flow from a 'pump' fetus to an acardiac fetus via reversed flow in the latter's umbilical artery. Several trial treatments for TRAP sequence have been reported, but all of these have been invasive. We present a case of TRAP sequence in which high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) was applied to the umbilical artery of the anomalous twin at 26 weeks as a non-invasive fetal therapy. The HIFU intensity was set at approximately 2300 W/cm(2) with exposure periods of 10 s. Color Doppler ultrasound showed a decrease in blood supply to the anomalous twin, although complete occlusion of the targeted vessel was not achieved. Delivery was by Cesarean section at 29 weeks' gestation and the pump twin survived, without severe clinical complications at 6 months.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether umbilical venous velocity and venous velocity pulsation are associated with umbilical vein diameter, umbilical ring diameter and umbilical cord coiling index at midgestation. METHODS Two hundred and eighty pregnant women were enrolled in the study at between 18 and 24 weeks of gestation. The diameter of the umbilical cord and internal diameter of the umbilical vein in a free loop and at the ring, and the umbilical coiling index, were measured using ultrasonography. Umbilical venous velocities were measured by Doppler ultrasonography at the umbilical ring and a free loop of the cord. RESULTS All variables were successfully measured in 92% of the patients. There were negative correlations between the diameters of the umbilical ring and of the umbilical vein at the ring and the venous velocity at the umbilical ring. The venous velocity at the umbilical ring was significantly higher and the umbilical ring diameter was significantly lower in fetuses with umbilical venous pulsation at the free loop. Significant correlations were observed between the venous velocity and amplitude of pulsation. Venous pulsations at the free loop were frequently observed in fetuses with a hypercoiled cord. CONCLUSION High venous velocity and increased venous pulsation at the umbilical ring may be associated with umbilical cord constriction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate whether maternal history and ultrasound findings can be predictors for massive hemorrhage during Cesarean section in patients with placenta previa and adherence of the placenta. METHODS We reviewed 127 singleton pregnancies with placenta previa. Maternal history, antenatal ultrasound findings of the placenta, including location, presence of placental lacunae, lack of a clear zone, presence of sponge-like findings of the cervix and presence of a marginal sinus in cases of placenta previa were reviewed retrospectively, and their association with amount of bleeding during Cesarean section was analyzed. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis revealed that advanced maternal age (odds ratio (OR), 5.4; 95% CI, 1.8-16.4), previous Cesarean section (OR, 20.4; 95% CI, 4.0-105.2) and sponge-like findings in the cervix (OR, 5.6; 95% CI, 1.8-17.0) were associated with massive bleeding (> 2500 mL). Placental adherence occurred in five cases and was more frequent in cases where the placenta was located at the site of the scar of a previous Cesarean section (OR, 123.1; 95% CI, 4.5-3395.2) and where there was lack of a clear zone (OR, 48.0; 95% CI, 3.8-604.7). CONCLUSIONS Advanced maternal age, previous Cesarean section and presence of sponge-like findings in the cervix are risk factors for massive bleeding during Cesarean section in cases of placenta previa, regardless of whether placental adherence is present. Placental location on the scar of a previous Cesarean section and lack of a clear zone are risk factors for placental adherence. When these findings are identified preoperatively, management should be tailored accordingly.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the application of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for fetal umbilical artery blood flow occlusion in a rabbit model. METHODS A prototype HIFU transducer in combination with an imaging probe with Doppler capability was constructed. Using this transducer, HIFU was applied at 1.4, 2.75 or 5.5 kW/cm(2) through the maternal abdominal skin to the fetal intra-abdominal umbilical arteries of four time-mated Japanese White rabbits (11 fetuses) on gestational day 25. Courses of 5-s HIFU exposure were performed until cessation of umbilical blood flow and cardiac arrest were confirmed by Doppler ultrasonography. Fetal necropsy was performed and exposed lesions were assessed by microscopic histological analysis. RESULTS The mean diameter of the fetal umbilical artery was 0.6 +/- 0.2 mm and the mean peak systolic velocity of arterial blood flow was 44.7 +/- 18.5 cm/s. When HIFU was applied at 5.5 kW/cm(2), blood flow was completely occluded within 15 courses. HIFU exposure brought about vacuolar degeneration and destruction of elastic fibers in the tunica media of the artery. CONCLUSIONS HIFU can be used to occlude umbilical artery blood flow in fetal rabbits.
