Abstract
Background Mogamulizumab was compared with vorinostat in the phase 3 MAVORIC trial (NCT01728805) in 372 patients with relapsed/refractory mycosis fungoides (MF) or Sézary syndrome (SS) who had failed ≥1 prior systemic therapy. Mogamulizumab significantly prolonged progression‐free survival (PFS), with a superior objective response rate (ORR) vs. vorinostat. Objectives This post hoc analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of baseline blood tumour burden on patient response to mogamulizumab. Methods PFS, ORR, time to next treatment (TTNT), skin response (modified Severity‐Weighted Assessment Tool [mSWAT]) and safety were assessed in patients stratified by blood classification (B0 [n = 126], B1 [n = 62], or B2 [n = 184], indicating increasing blood involvement). Results Investigator‐assessed PFS was longer for mogamulizumab versus vorinostat across all blood classes, significantly so for B1 and B2 patients. ORR was higher with mogamulizumab than with vorinostat in all blood classification groups and more markedly so with escalating B class (B0: 15.6% vs. 6.5%, P = 0.0549; B1: 25.8% vs. 6.5%, P = 0.2758; B2: 37.4% vs. 3.2%, P < 0.0001). TTNT was significantly longer for patients treated with mogamulizumab versus vorinostat with B1 (12.63 vs. 3.07 months; HR 0.32 [95% CI 0.16–0.67]; P = 0.0018) and B2 (13.07 vs. 3.53 months; HR 0.30 [95% CI 0.21–0.43]; P < 0.0001) blood involvement. In the mogamulizumab arm, 81 patients (43.5%) had ≥50% change in the mSWAT vs. 41 patients (22.0%) with vorinostat; mSWAT improvements with mogamulizumab occurred most often in B1 and B2 patients. Rapid, sustained reductions were seen in CD4+CD26‐ cell counts and CD4:CD8 ratios in mogamulizumab patients for all B classes. Treatment‐emergent adverse events were less frequent overall with mogamulizumab and similar in frequency regardless of B class. Conclusions This post hoc analysis indicates greater clinical benefit with mogamulizumab vs. vorinostat in patients with MF and SS classified as having B1 and B2 blood involvement.

Abstract
Background:Coronary periarteritis is one of the clinical manifestations of IgG4-related disease. It can cause serious conditions such as angina and ruptured aneurysms. Therefore, it is important to recognize the clinical and radiological characteristics, which was little known.Objectives:We report four patients with IgG4-related coronary periarteritis with a systematic literature review.Methods:We identified four patients with IgG4-related coronary periarteritis at the St. Luke’s International Hospital in Tokyo, Japan from 2014 to 2020. A systematic literature review was conducted for English articles on IgG4-related coronary periarteritis cases with a full text or abstract available. We summarized patient demographics, IgG and IgG4 titers, the site and morphological type of coronary lesion, and other organ involvements.Results:Our 4 cases and 38 cases identified by the literature review were assessed. Coronary artery lesions were detected by a coronary CT in all but two cases. Wall thickening was the most common type of the lesion. Moreover, there were 32 (76.1%) patients with other organ involvements. The commonest other lesion was peri-aortitis in 21 (50.0%) patients. In cases with peri-aortitis, IgG and IgG4 titers were significantly higher than those without peri-aortitis (IgG4; 1540 [705.0, 2570.0] vs 246.0 [160.0, 536.3]; p = 0.001, IgG; 3596.5 [2838.3, 4260.0] vs 1779.0 [1288.3, 1992.8]; p =0.040). In addition, 15 (71.4%) patients of them had three or more IgG4 related organ involvements.Conclusion:Coronary CT was a useful imaging modality for the diagnosis of IgG4-related coronary periarteritis, and wall thickening was the most common lesion. Moreover, about half cases coexisted with peri-aortitis. Peri-aortitis and other organ involvements should be screened in those with higher IgG and IgG4.Table 1.Characteristics of our cases and the literature review cases.RCA: right coronary artery, LAD: left anterior descending artery, LCx: left circumflex arteryDisclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatectomy with extrahepatic bile duct resection is associated with a high risk of posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). However, the utility of the remnant liver volume (RLV) in cholangiocarcinoma has not been studied intensively. METHODS Patients who underwent major hepatectomy with extrahepatic bile duct resection between 2002 and 2018 were reviewed. The RLV was divided by body surface area (BSA) to normalize individual physical differences. Risk factors for clinically relevant PHLF were evaluated with special reference to the RLV/BSA. RESULTS A total of 289 patients were included. The optimal cut-off value for RLV/BSA was determined to be 300 ml/m2. Thirty-two patients (11.1 per cent) developed PHLF. PHLF was more frequent in patients with an RLV/BSA below 300 ml/m2 than in those with a value of 300 ml/m2 or greater: 19 of 87 (22 per cent) versus 13 of 202 (6.4 per cent) (P < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, RLV/BSA below 300 ml/m2 (P = 0.013), future liver remnant plasma clearance rate of indocyanine green less than 0.075 (P = 0.031), and serum albumin level below 3.5 g/dl (P = 0.015) were identified as independent risk factors for PHLF. Based on these risk factors, patients were classified into three subgroups with low (no factors), moderate (1-2 factors), and high (3 factors) risk of PHLF, with PHLF rates of 1.8, 14.8 and 63 per cent respectively (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION An RLV/BSA of 300 ml/m2 is a simple predictor of PHLF in patients undergoing hepatectomy with extrahepatic bile duct resection.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Adequate nutrition has been proposed for better cardiovascular prognosis as well as fitness, although the impact of the “changes” in nutrition and fitness at recovery phase on the future prognosis has been unclear.
Purpose
We aimed to examine whether the change in nutritional level as a result of dietary intervention combined with exercise would determine patients' cardiovascular prognosis.
Methods
This study involved 398 consecutive patients who participated in phase II comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) for at least three months. All patients underwent cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) at the initial and completion periods of CCR. Individual dietary guidance was periodically performed with exercise. Peak oxygen uptake (PVO2) was measured through CPX to evaluate the fitness level, whereas nutritional status was evaluated using the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI). Patients were divided in two groups according to the baseline GNRI and the change in GNRI (ΔGNRI) by the median, respectively, to compare their prognosis between groups. Then they were classified into four categories according to the median values of the changes in GNRI (ΔGNRI) and PVO2 (ΔPVO2) during CCR: “Both improved”, “Only GNRI improved”, “Only PVO2 improved” and “Both NOT improved”, to compare MACCE-free rate between categories.
Results
The rate of MACCE showed significant difference between categories (14%, 18%, 19% and 36%, p<0.001), which was approximately 2 times higher in “Both NOT improved” than the others. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that according to the level of ΔGNRI, “higher ΔGNRI group” showed significantly higher in MACCE-free survival rate than “lower ΔGNRI group” (log rank p=0.010), whereas there was no significant difference according to the baseline GNRI (see figure). According to the categories divided by ΔGNRI and ΔPVO2, MACCE-free rate was significantly lower in “Both NOT improved” (log rank p<0.001) compared to the other categories. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that “both NOT improved” was an independent predictor of MACCE (hazard ratio, 2.1, 95% confident interval, 1.344–3.175, p<0.001).
Conclusion
Changes in nutritional level would determine patients' cardiovascular prognosis rather than the baseline nutritional level. Non-responders who showed no improvement in nutritional or fitness by interventions may result in a poor cardiovascular outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vertigo and dizziness are frequent symptoms in patients at out-patient services. An accurate diagnosis for vertigo or dizziness is essential for symptom relief; however, it is often challenging. This study aimed to identify differences in diagnoses between primary-care physicians and specialised neurotologists. METHOD In total, 217 patients were enrolled. To compare diagnoses, data was collected from the reference letters of primary-care physicians, medical questionnaires completed by patients and medical records. RESULTS In total, 62.2 per cent and 29.5 per cent of the patients were referred by otorhinolaryngologists and internists, respectively. The cause of vertigo or dizziness and diagnosis was missing in 47.0 per cent of the reference letters. In addition, 67.3 per cent of the diagnoses by previous physicians differed from those reported by specialised neurotologists. CONCLUSION To ensure patient satisfaction and high quality of life, an accurate diagnosis for vertigo or dizziness is required; therefore, methods or materials to improve the diagnostic accuracy are needed.

Abstract
Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous disease in which excessive inflammation, autoantibodies, and complement activation lead to multisystem tissue damage. Plasmacytoid dendritc cells (pDCs) play a central role in the pathogenesis of SLE through dysregulated type I IFN production, together with activated myeloid DCs (mDCs), amplifying vicious spiral of autoimmune disorders(1). Therefore, control of the aberrant DC activation may provide an alternative treatment strategy against SLE.Objectives:Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), which has been used to treat lupus nephritis, specifically blocks proliferation of B and T lymphocytes by inhibition of inosine-5-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). In addition, although there is evidence indicating the immunosuppressive effects of MMF on human monocyte-derived dendritic cells(2.3), there are no reports showing its effects on human blood DC subsets. Here we focused on the effects of MMF on the functions of the blood pDCs and mDCs.Methods:We isolated human blood DCs from healthy donors using cell sorting(4) and examined the function of mycophenolic acid (MPA), which is metabolic products of MMF, on DC subsets in response to TLR-ligands and serum from patients with active SLE. Written informed consent was obtained from all healthy adult donors and SLE patients.Results:We found that therapeutic plasma concentration range of MPA down-regulated expression of CD40, CD80 and CD86 dose-dependently on mDCs and pDCs without inducing apoptosis, in response to R848(TLR7/8 agonist) and CpG2216(TLR9 agonist), respectively. Of note, MPA profoundly suppressed IL-12 production and STAT4 expression in the mDCs and IFN-α production and IRF7 expression in the pDCs(Fig 1). We also obserbed inhibition of nuclear translocation of IRF-7 in pDCs treated with MPA by confocal microscopy(Fig 2). Furthermore,we identified that MPA had an inhibitory effect on SLE serum-induced IFN-α production by human PBMCs.Conclusion:Our data suggest that MMF can drive a wedge into the vicious spiral of autoimmune disorders through regulating the function of not only lymphocyte but also DC subsets. Thus, we unveiled a part mechanism of the therapeutic ability of MMF against SLE.References:[1]A Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells-Type I Interferon Axis is Critically Implicated in the Pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease. It is characterized by systemic synovitis with bone erosion and joint cartilage degradation(1). Production of autoantibody is important for autoimmune disease. Cytokines play crucial roles in its pathogenesis(2). SNP distribution varies between races. Few studies have examined SNP targeted at Japanese patients. The analysis of cytokine gene polymorphisms is important factor of pathophysiology and treatment.Objectives:This analysis was aimed to investigate the association between cytokine gene polymorphisms and autoantibody and therapeutic response in Japanese RA patients.Methods:This study subjects consisted of 100 RA patients and 50 healthy controls. We extracted data on patient sex, age, disease duration, rheumatoid factor (RF), anti cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibody and therapeutic response including methotrexate (MTX) and biological DMARDs. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood, these were genotyped for TNFα, TGFβ1, IL-6, IL-10 and IFNγ polymorphisms. We analyzed these data using a chi-square test.Results:IL-10 (-819 C/T and -592 C/A) revealed that there were significant decrease in the frequency of IL-10 (-819) CC genotype and (-592) CC genotype as compared to controls in RA patients. Genotyping of IL-10 showed that there was significant decrease ACC/ACC genotype (Table 1).IFNγ (+874 A/T) revealed that there was significant decrease in the frequency of TT genotype as compared to controls (Table 1).No significant differences in TNFα, TGFβ1and IL-6 genotypes and alleles frequency were observed between RA patients and control.TGFβ1(+869 A/T) in patients with anti-CCP antibody positive revealed that there was significant decrease in the frequency of TT genotype as compared to patients with anti-CCP antibody negative (Table 2).No significant association between RF and any cytokine gene polymorphism.Analyzing cytokine gene polymorphisms could be useful for treatment with MTX and biological DMARDs.Table 1.Table 2.Conclusion:IL-10 (-819 C/T, -592 C/A) and IFNγ (+874 A/T) polymorphism might be related to RA in Japanese population. In addition, TGFβ1(+869 A/T) polymorphism might be associated with the production of anti-CCP antibody. These results suggest that the analyzing cytokine gene polymorphisms may offer promise as useful factors in the choice of treatment for Japanese RA patients.References:[1] Scott DL, Wolfe F, Huizinga TW.
