Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is a treatment of choice for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Patients with proximal pulmonary artery disease are considered to be good candidates for PEA because of their generally excellent outcomes. However, not all patients can be operated because of patients' advanced age, comorbidities and poor general condition. Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has become an alternative treatment for CTEPH patients especially whose lesions locate in the distal site. The effectiveness of BPA in patients who have lesions in the proximal pulmonary arteries but cannot be a candidate for PEA remains unclear.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of BPA in CTEPH patients whose lesions appears operable but ineligible for PEA.
Methods
A total of 370 patients who underwent BPA in our institute from November 2004 to January 2018 were enrolled. All the patients were divided into operable group and inoperable group according to the difference of lesion location based on the findings of perfusion scintigraphy, computed tomography and pulmonary angiography. Hemodynamic effects of BPA in both groups were investigated. We also conducted survival analyses using the Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test.
Results
Among 370 patients, 90 patients deemed operable. The main reasons why not operated in the PEA operable group were patient's refusal (44%), advanced age (14%), and comorbidities (27%). There were no baseline characteristic differences between two groups except for the history of acute pulmonary embolism. Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) equally improved after BPA in both groups (operable: 38.2±10.8 mmHg to 21.5±4.7mmHg, inoperable: 42.4±11.3 mmHg to 21.8±4.8 mmHg, p<0.001, operable: 8.0±4.2 wood unit to 3.5±1.5 wood unit, inoperable: 9.1±4.6 wood unit to 3.4±1.3 wood unit, p<0.001). Furthermore, five-year cumulative survival rates were not different between two groups (inoperable vs. operable: 93% vs. 88%, p=0.23, median follow-up period was 23.0 months (range: 5–136 months)). Meanwhile, the absolute change of mPAP and PVR in inoperable group were greater than those in operable group (inoperable: 20.7±11.2 mmHg, operable: 16.6±11.0 mmHg, p=0.010, inoperable: 5.6±4.4 wood unit, operable: 4.5±3.9 wood unit, p=0.015).
Conclusions
Although the outcome of BPA for CTEPH patients with operable lesions appears acceptable, absolute change in hemodynamics was lower than that of the patients with inoperable lesions. CTEPH with proximal lesions should be treated with PEA rather than BPA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) improves hemodynamics, symptoms and exercise capacity in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who are ineligible for pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). However, certain patients still have hypoxemia after BPA or PEA despite normalization of hemodynamics. In CTEPH, hypoxemia is related increased dead space ventilation caused by vascular obstruction.
Purpose
This study was aimed to clarify whether additional BPA can improve hypoxemia of CTEPH patients after normalization of hemodynamics.
Methods
A total of 335 patients who underwent initial series of BPA in our institute were followed up. Sixty-four patients with mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) <30mmHg and percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) <95% without oxygen inhalation at more than 6 months after the initial series of BPA and of patients who could reevaluate hemodynamics and oxygenation after additional BPA were enrolled. These patients were divided into two groups with or without additional BPA procedures. Change of hemodynamics and SpO2 were retrospectively investigated.
Results
Thirty-three of 64 patients underwent additional BPA procedures. Patients' age was older in BPA group than those in non-BPA group (71.3±10.4 vs. 66.5±9.4 years old, p=0.02). mPAP and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was significantly higher in BPA group (mPAP: 23.9±3.2 vs. 20.7±3.8 mmHg, p=0.001, PVR: 4.2±1.2 vs. 3.5±1.4 wood unit, p=0.03, respectively). Among the 1.8±1.4 BPA procedures per person, total 6.6±3.8 segmental pulmonary arteries per person were treated. While no obvious improvements were observed in non-BPA group, PVR and SpO2 in BPA group were significantly improved (4.2±1.2 to 3.7±1.3 wood unit, p=0.002, 90.7±3.1% to 94.1±3.6%, p<0.001, respectively). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, additional BPA procedures were associated with further improvement of SpO2 (hazard ratio, 3.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.2–11.5; P=0.02).
Conclusions
Additional BPA procedure was associated with improvement of hypoxemia in CTEPH patients after normalization of hemodynamics. Treating as many lesions as possible in BPA might relieve the patients' residual dyspnea.

Abstract
Synthetic scaffolds exhibiting bone repair ability equal to that of autogenous bone are required in the fields of orthopedics and dentistry. A suitable synthetic bone graft substitute should induce osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis. In this study, three types of honeycomb blocks (HCBs), composed of hydroxyapatite (HAp), β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP), and carbonate apatite (CO3Ap), were fabricated, and the effects of HCB composition on bone formation and maturation were investigated. The HC structure was selected to promote cell penetration and tissue ingrowth. HAp and β-TCP HCBs were fabricated by extrusion molding followed by sintering. The CO3Ap HCBs were fabricated by extrusion molding followed by sintering and dissolution-precipitation reactions. These HCBs had similar macroporous structures: all harbored uniformly distributed macropores (∼160 μm) that were regularly arrayed and penetrated the blocks unidirectionally. Moreover, the volumes of macropores were nearly equal (∼0.15 cm3/g). The compressive strengths of CO3Ap, HAp, and β-TCP HCBs were 22.8 ± 3.5, 34.2 ± 3.3, and 24.4 ± 2.4 MPa, respectively. Owing to the honeycomb-type macroporous structure, the compressive strengths of these HCBs were higher than those of commercial scaffolds with intricate three-dimensional or unidirectional macroporous structure. Notably, bone maturation was markedly faster in CO3Ap HCB grafting than in β-TCP and HAp HCB grafting, and the mature bone area percentages for CO3Ap HCBs at postsurgery weeks 4 and 12 were 14.3- and 4.3-fold higher and 7.5- and 1.4-fold higher than those for HAp and β-TCP HCBs, respectively. The differences in bone maturation and formation were probably caused by the disparity in concentrations of calcium ions surrounding the HCBs, which were dictated by the inherent material resorption behavior and mechanism; generally, CO3Ap is resorbed only by osteoclastic resorption, HAp is not resorbed, and β-TCP is rapidly dissolved even in the absence of osteoclasts. Besides the composition, the microporous structure of HC struts, inevitably generated during the formation of HCBs of various compositions, may contribute to the differences in bone maturation and formation.

Abstract
This study examined the influences of clinical application of immediate dentin sealing (IDS) and temporary restoration (TR) on prepared abutment surfaces on the bonding of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ceramic crown restorations after cyclic loading. Standardized abutments were prepared in 60 human mandibular premolars. Dentin surfaces of half of the specimens were sealed with adhesive and flowable composite, while those of the other half were not sealed. A half of both sealed and non-sealed specimens were restored using a temporary cement and temporary crown. Each individual CAD/CAM ceramic crown was fabricated and cemented to an individual abutment. The restored specimens were subjected to cyclic loading, and the micro tensile bond strengths (μ-TBS) were measured. IDS contributed to an increase in the bond strength, whereas TR did not affect the bond strength. IDS restoration without TR yielded the maximum bond reliability in achieve specific μ-TBS values for the restoration and ensuring durability against debonding.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Anti-TNFα, IL-17A and IL-23p19 antibodies are effective for psoriasis. However, the contribution of regulatory T cells (Treg) in their effectiveness remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVE We investigated the effects of TNFα, IL-17A and IL-23p19 inhibition on Tregs in imiquimod-induced psoriasiform dermatitis. METHODS Psoriasiform dermatitis was induced by imiquimod application on murine shaved back skin for six days. Mice were treated with anti-TNFα, IL-17A or IL-23p19 monoclonal antibodies every other day from one day before imiquimod application. RESULTS Administration of anti-TNFα, IL-17A or IL-23p19 antibodies improved the clinical score and downregulated Th17-related cytokines and chemokines, while IL-23p19 antibodies upregulated IL-10 mRNA expression. Anti-IL-17A or IL-23p19 antibody-treated imiquimod-applied mice showed a significant increase in the number of Foxp3+ IL-10+ Tregs. Recipient mice adoptively transferred with Tregs derived from donor mice treated with antibodies demonstrated clinical and pathological improvement in imiquimod-induced psoriasiform dermatitis. Anti-IL-17A or IL-23p19 antibody-induced Tregs significantly increased the number of Foxp3+ cells and IL-10 expression in imiquimod-induced psoriasiform dermatitis in recipient mice but anti-TNFα antibody-induced Tregs did not. CONCLUSION Anti-IL-17A or IL-23p19 antibody inhibits the IL-17/IL-23 signaling pathway, and induces expansion of Tregs and their suppressive capacity in imiquimod-induced psoriasiform dermatitis.

Abstract
Stabilisation of fragile oligonucleotides, typically small interfering RNA (siRNA), is one of the most critical issues for oligonucleotide therapeutics. Many previous studies encapsulated oligonucleotides into ~100-nm nanoparticles. However, such nanoparticles inevitably accumulate in liver and spleen. Further, some intractable cancers, e.g., tumours in pancreas and brain, have inherent barrier characteristics preventing the penetration of such nanoparticles into tumour microenvironments. Herein, we report an alternative approach to cancer-targeted oligonucleotide delivery using a Y-shaped block catiomer (YBC) with precisely regulated chain length. Notably, the number of positive charges in YBC is adjusted to match that of negative charges in each oligonucleotide strand (i.e., 20). The YBC rendezvouses with a single oligonucleotide in the bloodstream to generate a dynamic ion-pair, termed unit polyion complex (uPIC). Owing to both significant longevity in the bloodstream and appreciably small size (~18 nm), the uPIC efficiently delivers oligonucleotides into pancreatic tumour and brain tumour models, exerting significant antitumour activity.

Abstract
To understand the role of RAS-signaling networks in the pathogenesis of renal cell carcisnoma, we clarified the relationship between miR-143 and RAS. The expression of miR-143 was extremely downregulated in tumor tissues from renal cell carcinoma patients compared with that in the adjacent normal tissues and Caki-1 cells. We developed a synthetic miR-143#12, and we found that the ectopic expression of it inhibited cell growth with autophagy in Caki-1 cells. Also, the expression level of c-Myc was markedly decreased, resulting in the perturbation of cancer-specific energy metabolism by negatively modulating the expression of GLUT1 and the PTBP1/PKMs axis. A partial metabolic shift from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation induced autophagy through increasing the intracellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In an in vivo study, the potent anti-tumor activity of polyion complex (PIC)-loaded miR-143#12 (miR-143#12/PIC) was shown by systemic administration of it to Caki-1 cell-xenografted mice. Higher levels of miR-143 were found in both blood and tumor tissues after the systemic administration with miR-143#12/PIC compared to those with lipoplexes in the xenografted mice. These findings indicated that this synthetic miR-143#12 induced a marked growth inhibition by impairing K-RAS-signaling networks in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
We developed a novel chemically modified miR-143 (miR-143#12), and with it we investigated the contribution of miR-143 to the pathogenesis of bladder cancer (BC), in which miR-143 is extremely downregulated. Since miR-143 silenced K-RAS and RAS effector-signaling molecules Erk and Akt, we performed the ectopic expression of miR-143 in human BC 253J-BV cells, and we examined the growth inhibition and the mechanism of it in vitro and in orthotopic model mice. As a result, miR-143#12 induced a marked growth inhibition with apoptosis through impairing RAS-signaling networks, including SOS1, which exchanges guanosine diphosphate (GDP)/RAS for active guanosine triphosphate (GTP)/RAS. In the in vivo study, miR-143#12 exhibited a marked anti-tumor activity by either systemic or intravesical administration with polyionic copolymer (PIC) as the carrier, compared with the activity obtained by use of lipofection. These findings raised the possibility that the chemically modified miR-143#12 would be a candidate of microRNA (miRNA) medicine for BC delivered by intravesical infusion.

Tunable nonenzymatic degradability of N-substituted polyaspartamide main chain by amine protonation and alkyl spacer length in side chains for enhanced messenger RNA transfection efficiency. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF ADVANCED MATERIALS 2019; 20:105-115.

Abstract
Degradability of polycations under physiological conditions is an attractive feature for their use in biomedical applications, such as the delivery of nucleic acids. This study aims to design polycations with tunable nonenzymatic degradability. A series of cationic N-substituted polyaspartamides were prepared to possess primary amine via various lengths of alkyl spacers in side chains. The degradation rate of each polyaspartamide derivative was determined by size exclusion chromatography under different pH conditions. The N-substituted polyaspartamide containing a 2-aminoethyl moiety in the side chain (PAsp(AE)) showed considerable degradability under physiological conditions (pH 7.4, 37 °C). In contrast, the N-substituted polyaspartamides bearing a longer alkyl spacer in the side chain, i.e. the 3-aminopropyl (PAsp(AP)) and 4-aminobutyl moieties (PAsp(AB)), more strongly suppressed degradation. Further, a positive correlation was observed between the degradation rate of N-substituted polyaspartamides and a deprotonation degree of primary amines in their side chains. Therefore, we conclude that the deprotonated primary amine in the side chain of N-substituted polyaspartamides can induce the degradation of the main chain through the activation of amide nitrogen in the side chain. When N-substituted polyaspartamides were utilized as a messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery vehicle via formation of polyion complexes (PICs), degradable PAsp(AE) elicited significantly higher mRNA expression efficiency in cultured cells compared to PAsp(AP) and PAsp(AB). The higher efficiency of PAsp(AE) might be due to the facilitated destabilization of PICs within the cells, directed toward mRNA release. Additionally, degradation of PAsp(AE) considerably reduced its cytotoxicity. Thus, our study highlights a useful design of well-defined cationic poly(amino acid)s with tunable nonenzymatic degradability.

Abstract
Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) treatment is a plausible strategy for enhanced cancer therapy. Here we report a glucose-installed sub-50-nm nanocarrier for the targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) to CSCs through selective recognition of the glucose ligand to the glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) overexpressed on the CSC surface. The siRNA nanocarrier was constructed via a two-step assembling process. First, a glucose-installed poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(l-lysine) modified with lipoic acid (LA) at the ω-end (Glu-PEG-PLL-LA) was associated with a single siRNA to form a unimer polyion complex (uPIC). Second, a 20 nm gold nanoparticle (AuNP) was decorated with ~65 uPICs through AuS bonding. The glucose-installed targeted nanoparticles (Glu-NPs) exhibited higher cellular uptake of siRNA payloads in a spheroid breast cancer (MBA-MB-231) cell culture compared with glucose-unconjugated control nanoparticles (MeO-NPs). Notably, the Glu-NPs became more efficiently internalized into the CSC fraction, which was defined by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity assay, than the other fractions, probably due to the higher GLUT1 expression level on the CSCs. The Glu-NPs elicited significantly enhanced gene silencing in a CSC-rich orthotopic MDA-MB-231 tumor tissue following systemic administration to tumor-bearing mice. Ultimately, the repeated administrations of polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) siRNA-loaded Glu-NPs significantly suppressed the growth of orthotopic MDA-MB-231 tumors. These results demonstrate that Glu-NP is a promising nanocarrier design for CSC-targeted cancer treatment.

Abstract
407 Background: Several new combination therapies, including GEM plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) and FOLFIRINOX (FFX) has been developed for treating pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) in these ten years. We investigated trends in characteristics, treatment patterns, and outcomes of unselected patients with unresectable PDAC in real-life practice in Japan. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 1917 patients diagnosed as having unresectable or recurrent PDAC in multiple centers in our local area between January 2009 and April 2018. Results: The median age was 74, and 53.1% were men; 27.2% had locally advanced and 67.2% metastatic disease, and 5.6% had recurrences. Oncological therapy was administered to 1295 patients (67.6%): chemotherapy (n = 1161), chemo-radiotherapy (n = 117), or radiotherapy (n = 17); the remaining patients were treated with best supportive care. Of 100 patients diagnosed in 2009, 62.0% received GEM as first-line chemotherapy; whereas 56.8% of the 266 patients diagnosed in 2017 or 2018 received GnP, 20.3% GEM, and 15.4% FFX. The objective response rates of patients treated with GnP, FFX and GEM were 16.8%, 17.6%, and 5.1%, respectively. The median time to treatment failures were 3.9, 3.6, and 2.8 months, and the overall survivals were 11.5, 11.7, and 6.5 months after GnP, FFX, and GEM, respectively. Grade 3 or greater any hematological toxicity occurred in 53.7%, 64.7%, and 34.6% of the patients treated with GnP, FFX, and GEM, respectively. The treatment discontinuation rates due to adverse events were 17.2%, 14.9% and 22.9% in the patients treated with GnP, FFX and GEM, respectively. Conclusions: Chemotherapeutic protocols changed dramatically between 2009 and 2018 in Japan. Both GnP and FFX are well-tolerable and effective in real-life practice despite high frequent adverse events.

Abstract
Objective Serologically active clinically quiescent (SACQ)-SLE is a subtype of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); most SACQ-SLE patients relapse. Although complement and/or anti-dsDNA level fluctuations during SACQ status are reportedly not useful for predicting relapse, they might be useful in specific clinical settings. We aimed to assess the correlation between future relapse and progressive reductions in serum complement levels following remission in patients with hypocomplementemia . Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients aged ≥15 years who were treated with ≥20 mg/day of prednisolone for remission induction. After achieving remission, the patients treated with prednisolone tapered to ≤15 mg/day without relapse and followed by hypocomplementemia (first hypocomplementemia point) were analyzed. The primary outcome was the relapse during the first 24 months. Results Seventy-six patients were enrolled; 31 (40.8%) relapsed. A ≥10% reduction after the first hypocomplementemia point in serum C3, C4, and CH50 levels was found in 10, 21, and 16 patients, respectively. Hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for relapse were 2.32 (0.92–5.12) for serum C3 levels and 2.46 (1.18–5.01) for serum C4 levels. Progressive reductions in serum C3 and C4 levels had relatively high specificity (93.3% and 82.2%) but limited sensitivity (22.6% and 41.9%) for predicting relapse. However, simultaneous progressive reduction in C3 levels and increase in anti-dsDNA antibody levels had the highest specificity (97.8%), and simultaneous progressive reduction in C4 levels or increase in anti-dsDNA antibody levels had the highest sensitivity (71.0%). Conclusion Simultaneous progressive reductions in complement levels and increases in anti-dsDNA antibody levels may indicate future relapse SACQ-SLE patients.

Abstract
Aims The aims of this study were to evaluate the long-term outcome of surgery for bone or soft-tissue metastases from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and to determine factors that affect prognosis. Patients and Methods Between 1993 and 2014, 58 patients underwent surgery for bone or soft-tissue metastases from RCC at our hospital. There were 46 men and 12 women with a mean age of 60 years (25 to 84). The mean follow-up period was 52 months (1 to 257). The surgical sites included the spine (33 patients), appendicular skeleton (ten patients), pelvis (eight patients), thorax (four patients), and soft tissue (three patients). The surgical procedures were en bloc metastasectomy in 46 patients (including 33 patients of total en bloc spondylectomy (TES)) and intralesional curettage in 12 patients. These patients were retrospectively evaluated for factors associated with prognosis. Results The one-, three-, five-, ten-, and 15-year overall survival (OS) rates were 89%, 75%, 62%, 48%, and 25%, respectively. The median survival time (MST) was 127 months for en bloc metastasectomy and 54 months for intralesional curettage and bone grafting. The median survival time was 127 months for the spine, 140 months for lesions of the appendicular skeleton, and 54 months for the pelvis. Multivariate analysis showed that non-clear cell type RCC and metastases to more than two sites were independent risk factors for a poor prognosis. Conclusion Patients with bone or soft-tissue metastases from a RCC have a reasonable prognosis, making surgical resection a viable option even in patients in whom the metastases are advanced.

Abstract
Rhododendrol (RD), 4‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐butanol, inhibits melanin synthesis and had been used in skin‐whitening cosmetic products until 2013. However, some individuals developed leukoderma on the skin where RD had been applied and have suffered from refractory depigmentation even after discontinuing RD application. Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin F2α analog and is often used for eyelash growth for cosmetic reasons as well as in the treatment of glaucoma. It was reported that bimatoprost induced skin pigmentation in addition to iris pigmentation as adverse effects. Therefore, we conducted an open‐label single‐center pilot study to evaluate the effectiveness of bimatoprost on refractory RD‐induced leukoderma. Eleven Japanese female patients with skin type III who developed leukoderma on the exact or slightly extended area of skin where RD had been applied and gained a halt of enlargement of leukoderma or repigmentation on a part of the affected skin after discontinuation of RD were enrolled. Bimatoprost 0.03% solution was applied on the leukoderma once daily for 3 months, and then the frequency of application was increased to twice daily for the subsequent 3 months. Ten patients completed the 6‐month course of bimatoprost application. In four patients, bimatoprost application brought slight improvement in RD‐induced refractory leukoderma by dermatologists’ evaluation. Because the number of enrolled patients was limited, further larger studies are necessary to better assess the effectiveness of bimatoprost in inducing repigmentation in patients with RD‐induced refractory leukoderma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physiological changes after laparoscopic ventral rectopexy (LVR) in patients with rectoanal intussusception (RAI) remain unclear. This study was undertaken to evaluate physiological and morphological changes after LVR for RAI, and to study clinical outcomes following LVR with special reference to fecal incontinence (FI). METHODS The study was conducted on patients who had LVR for RAI between February 2012 and December 2016 at our institution Patients with RAI and FI were included in the study. Patients with RAI and obstructed defecation and those with RAI and neurologic FI were not included. The patients had anorectal manometry preoperatively, and 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Defecography was performed before and 6 months after the procedure. FI was evaluated using the Fecal Incontinence Severity Index (FISI). RESULTS There were 34 patients (median age 77 years (range 60-93) years). Thirty-two patients (94%) were female and the median number of vaginal deliveries was 2 (range 0-5). Neither maximum resting pressure nor maximum squeeze pressure increased postoperatively. There was an overall increase in both defecatory desire volume (median preoperative 75 ml vs. 90 ml at 12 months; p = 0.002) and maximum tolerated volume (median preoperative 145 ml vs.175 ml at 12 months; p = 0.002). Postoperatively, RAI was eliminated in all patients but one, although 13 had residual rectorectal intussusception found at defecography. There was an overall reduction in both rectocele size (median preop 29 mm vs. postop 10 mm; p = 0.008) and pelvic floor descent (median preop 26 mm vs. postop 20 mm; p = 0.005). Twelve months after surgery, a reduction of at least 50% was observed in the FISI score for 31 incontinent patients (91%). CONCLUSIONS LVR for RAI produced adequate improvement of FI, and successful anatomical correction of RAI was confirmed by postoperative proctography. Postoperative increase in the rectal volume may have a positive effect on continence.

Abstract
Antibody fragment (Fab')-installed polyion complex (PIC) micelles were constructed to improve targetability of small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery to pancreatic cancer cells. To this end, we synthesized a block copolymer of azide-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(l-lysine) and prepared PIC micelles with siRNA. Then, a dibenzylcyclooctyne (DBCO)-modified antihuman tissue factor (TF) Fab' was conjugated to azido groups on the micellar surface. A fluorescence correlation spectroscopic analysis revealed that 1, 2, or 3 molecule(s) of Fab'(s) were installed onto one micellar nanoparticle according to the feeding ratio of Fab' (or DBCO) to micelle (or azide). The resulting micelles exhibited ∼40 nm in hydrodynamic diameter, similar to that of the parent micelles before Fab' conjugation. Flow cytometric analysis showed that three molecules of Fab'-installed PIC micelles (3(Fab')-micelles) had the highest binding affinity to cultured pancreatic cancer BxPC3 cells, which are known to overexpress TF on their surface. The 3(Fab')-micelles also exhibited the most efficient gene silencing activity against polo-like kinase 1 mRNA in the cultured cancer cells. Furthermore, the 3(Fab')-micelles exhibited high penetrability and the highest cellular internalization amounts in BxPC3 spheroids compared with one or two molecule(s) of Fab'-installed PIC micelles. These results demonstrate the potential of anti-TF Fab'-installed PIC micelles for active targeting of stroma-rich pancreatic tumors.

Abstract
Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an acquired autoimmune blistering disease in which autoantibodies against epitopes in the basement membrane zone of the skin such as BP180 or BP230 are produced. Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors have become commonly used to treat diabetes. As DPP-4 inhibitors are more commonly prescribed for diabetes, BP related to DPP-4 inhibitors has been reported and has attracted attention. Therefore, we retrospectively investigated patients who were diagnosed with BP in order to examine characteristics of DPP-4 inhibitor-related BP (nine patients; median age, 85 years) in comparison with non-DPP-4 inhibitor-related BP (21; median age, 85 years). There was no significant difference in Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index between DPP-4 inhibitor-related BP patients and non-DPP-4 inhibitor-related BP patients, except for erosions/blisters score in mucosa. Laboratory tests revealed no significant differences between DPP-4 inhibitor-related BP patients and non-DPP-4 inhibitor-related BP patients in total white blood cell count, eosinophil count, neutrophil count and the titer of anti-BP180 antibody. The number of eosinophils infiltrating into the skin was significantly lower in patients with DPP4 inhibitor-related BP than in patients with non-DPP4 inhibitor-related BP. Our results showed that DPP-4 inhibitor-related BP has some distinct pathological characteristics from BP not associated with DPP-4 inhibitor.

Abstract
Systemic plasmacytosis is a rare skin disorder characterized by marked infiltration of plasma cells in the dermis. IgG4-related disease is pathologically characterized by lymphoplasmacytic infiltration rich in IgG4+ plasma cells, storiform fibrosis, and obliterative phlebitis, accompanied by elevated levels of serum IgG4. Reports of cases of systemic plasmacytosis with abundant infiltration of IgG4+ plasma cells has led to discussion about the relationship between systemic plasmacytosis and IgG4-related disease. This study examined IgG4+/IgG+ plasma cell ratios in 4 patients with systemic plasmacytosis and 12 patients with other skin diseases that show marked infiltration of plasma cells. Furthermore, we examined whether these cases met one of the pathological diagnostic criteria for IgG4-related disease (i.e. IgG4+/IgG plasma cells ratio of over 40%). Only one out of 4 patients with systemic plasmacytosis met the criterion. These results suggest that systemic plasmacytosis and IgG4-related disease are distinct diseases.

Abstract
The treatment of cesium-contaminated wastewater has become one of the biggest issues. The selective Cs+ removal from wastewater containing competitive alkali metal ions such as Na+ is desired to reduce the volume of sludge. Therefore, the present work focused on water-soluble calix[4]arene-bis-crown-6 (W-BisC6) to selectively capture Cs+. For characterization of the complex, UV-vis spectroscopy is commonly used, however, due to the limited availability of information it can be hard to quickly identify the specific structures of some complexes. In this work, the electrospray ionization time of flight spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS) is successfully utilized to identify the number and type of cations in W-BisC6-cation complexes. ESI-TOF-MS accurately recognized 4 types of complex (W-BisC6-Na+, W-BisC6-Cs+, W-BisC6-2Na+, W-BisC6-Na+-Cs+), and the experimental and simulated results were almost perfectly matched. It also revealed the difficulty of W-BisC6-2Cs+ complex formation under the present conditions. Thus, this technique is significantly helpful for rapid identification of the specific structures of complexes during Cs+-contaminated wastewater treatment.

Abstract
We present a case of a woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who had refractory episodes of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and was successfully treated with rituximab. She was positive for anti-aquaporin-4 (AQP4) antibody and had typical cranial and longitudinally extended spinal lesions but no optic nerve involvement. There is no established treatment for NMOSD/SLE overlap cases. Our experience suggests that rituximab may be effective for patients with combined SLE and anti-AQP4 antibody-positive NMOSD.
