Abstract
Post-transplant microbial diversity in the gastrointestinal tract is closely associated with clinical outcomes following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, little is known about the impact of the fecal microbiota before allo-HSCT. We analyzed fecal samples approximately 2 weeks before conditioning among 107 allo-HSCT recipients between 2013 and 2015. Microbial analysis was performed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Operational taxonomic unit-based microbial diversity was estimated by calculating the Shannon index. Patients were classified into three groups based on the diversity index: low (<2), intermediate (2, 3), and high (>3) diversity (18 (16.8%), 48 (44.9%), and 41 (38.3%) patients, respectively). There were no significant differences in the 20-month overall survival, cumulative incidence of relapse, and non-relapse mortality among three groups. The cumulative incidence of grade II to IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) was similar among the three groups (low 55.6%; intermediate 35.4%; high 48.8%, p = 0.339, at day 100). Furthermore, we found no differences in the cumulative incidence of grade II to IV acute gastrointestinal GVHD among the three groups (low 38.9%; intermediate 21.3%; high 24.4%, p = 0.778, at day 100). Regarding the composition of microbiota before allo-HSCT, aGVHD patients showed a significantly higher abundance of phylum Firmicutes (p < 0.01) and a lower tendency for Bacteroidetes (p = 0.106) than non-aGVHD patients. Maintenance of Bacteroidetes throughout allo-HSCT may be a strategy to prevent aGVHD.

Abstract
HLA 1-locus-mismatched unrelated donors (1MMUD) have been used in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for patients who lack an HLA-matched donor. We retrospectively analyzed 3313 patients with acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who underwent bone marrow transplantation from an HLA allele-matched unrelated donor (MUD) or 1MMUD between 2009 and 2014. We compared the outcomes of MUD (n=2089) and 1MMUD with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) (1MM-ATG(+); n=109) with those of 1MMUD without ATG (1MM-ATG(-); n=1115). The median total dose of ATG (thymoglobulin) was 2.5 mg/kg (range 1.0-11.0 mg/kg) in the 1MM-ATG(+) group. The rates of grade III-IV acute GvHD, non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall mortality were significantly lower in the MUD group than in the 1MM-ATG(-) group (hazard ratio (HR) 0.77, P=0.016; HR 0.74; P<0.001; and HR 0.87, P=0.020, respectively). Likewise, the rates of grade III-IV acute GVHD, NRM and overall mortality were significantly lower in the 1MM-ATG(+) group than in the 1MM-ATG(-) group (HR 0.42, P=0.035; HR 0.35, P<0.001; and HR 0.71, P=0.042, respectively). The outcome of allo-HCT from 1MM-ATG(-) was inferior to that of allo-HCT from MUD even in the recent cohort. However, the negative impact of 1MMUD disappeared with the use of low-dose ATG without increasing the risk of relapse.

Abstract
Although allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) is a potentially curative treatment for various hematological diseases, acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and its management is clinically important. Advances in biological techniques have led to great progress in understanding the complex interactions between the host and the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota clearly modulates the immune response and is associated with the pathogenesis of various disorders. Also in allo-SCT, both preclinical and clinical results indicate that the gut microbiota is closely associated with the development of acute GVHD and transplant outcomes. These results led to the idea that improvement in quantitative and/or qualitative abnormalities of microbiota (dysbiosis) may be a new treatment strategy for acute GVHD. Evaluations of therapies targeting the gut microbiota such as probiotics or fecal microbiota transplantation have just begun. Furthermore, intervention in the gut microbiota with a nutritional approach including prebiotics, postbiotics, and antibiotics selection may also be another promising treatment option for acute GVHD.

Abstract
We describe herein the clinical outcomes of 16 patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase who stopped the administration of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) after maintaining undetectable levels of major BCR-ABL1, based on real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, for prolonged periods (undetectable MR for a median of 2,100 days (822-4,068). The reasons for discontinuing TKI were enrollments in a clinical trial testing discontinuation of these agents (n=9), adverse effects (n=2) or financial problems (n=5). After TKI discontinuation, patients were followed for a median of 551 days (154-2,446). A total of 8 patients (50%) experienced molecular relapse after a median of 119 days (28-171). Among them, 6 patients who lost major molecular response (MMR) were treated with imatinib (n=2) or dasatinib (n=4), while 2 patients who lost undetectable MR after discontinuing TKI (1 each had taken bostinib and imatinib) but maintained MMR were carefully monitored without re-administration of TKI. Of 6 patients who re-started TKI, 4 (67%) achieved undetectable MR but the other 2 achieved only MMR. The results of this small, retrospective study may support the current understanding of treatment discontinuation, possibly leading to a sustained deep molecular response in some patients.

Abstract
A 60-year-old man with myelodysplastic syndrome underwent allogeneic transplantation of female umbilical cord blood in 2010 and sustained a complete remission. He experienced severe pain in his left hip joint and was admitted to the orthopedic surgery division of our institution in February 2015. After admission, he was suspected to have hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS) and was thus transferred to the hematology division. Bone marrow aspiration revealed hyper-cellular marrow filled with abnormal collapsed cells, consistent with bone marrow necrosis (BMN). As there was no evidence of infection, collagen disease, or occult cancer, he was diagnosed with HPS of unknown origin and treated with dexamethasone, cyclosporine A, and etoposide according to the HLH-2004 protocol. Although his general condition and laboratory findings showed amelioration, morphologically abnormal cells appeared in peripheral blood two weeks after treatment. Bone marrow aspiration showed BMN with increased abnormal cells, positive for CD117 and MPO. Sex chromosome FISH analysis revealed donor chimerism and cytogenetic analysis showed 46XX, +1, der (1;7) (q10;q10). He was diagnosed with donor cell leukemia (DCL) and received salvage chemotherapy. However, he died because of severe pneumonia and sepsis without neutrophil recovery at day 68. We herein report this rare case of DCL with BMN.

Abstract
We report three cases of fusariosis that occurred during the treatment of acute leukemia, during the past 5 years at our institution. Case 1: A 70-year-old male with relapsed and refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) developed fever and multiple nodular lesions in both the lungs. Blood culture that was subsequently obtained revealed Fusarium species. Treatment with liposomal-amphotericin B (L-AMB) was ineffective, and the condition of the patient deteriorated rapidly leading to death. Case 2: A 28-year-old male with T-ALL developed echthyma gangrenosum (EG) ulcers on the scrotum during conditioning for transplantation. Antifungal therapy with L-AMB was ineffective, and later, itraconazole and micafungin (MCFG) were introduced. However, the engraftment was not achieved, and the patient died on day 27. Microbiological examination of EG samples collected on day 13 revealed infection by Fusarium species post mortem. Case 3: A 50-year-old male with blast crisis of chronic myeloid leukemia developed EG primarily on the trunk during chemotherapy. The patient died without any response to L-AMB and MCFG. A culture obtained from EG on day 19 yielded Fusarium species, post mortem. The prognosis of fusariosis is extremely poor. However, skin lesions such as EG may assist in the early diagnosis of the disseminated disease.

Abstract
A 58-year-old female was diagnosed with Philadelphia chromosome positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blast crisis (BC) in 2004. The patient received imatinib, which quickly induced molecular remission, and subsequently underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from an unrelated human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical donor. The post-transplant clinical course was essentially uneventful. In 2014, ten years after the BMT, the patient was admitted to our hospital complaining of lymphadenopathy, and blasts were observed in peripheral blood. The patient was diagnosed as having a CML relapse in myeloid BC, with leukemic infiltration in lymph nodes, and was treated with dasatinib. Subsequently, pleural effusion developed and nilotinib was administered, which induced normal blood counts without blasts and partial cytogenetic remission, one month after administration. Six months after the relapse, this patient underwent a second BMT from an HLA-matched unrelated donor. Recent studies have demonstrated the cumulative incidence of CML relapse more than five years after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) to be higher than in acute myeloid leukemia. Although rare, the possibility of late relapse should be considered in patients diagnosed with CML after allo-HSCT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND Here, we described the clinical characteristics and outcomes of central nervous system (CNS) infections occurring after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in a single institution over the previous 6 years. METHODS Charts of 353 consecutive allogeneic transplant recipients were retrospectively reviewed for CNS infection. RESULTS A total of 17 cases of CNS infection were identified at a median of 38 days (range, 10-1028 days) after allo-HSCT. Causative pathogens were human herpesvirus-6 (n=6), enterococcus (n=2), staphylococcus (n=2), streptococcus (n=2), varicella zoster virus (n=1), cytomegalovirus (n=1), John Cunningham virus (n=1), adenovirus (n=1), and Toxoplasma gondii (n=1). The cumulative incidence of CNS infection was 4.1% at 1 year and 5.5% at 5 years. CONCLUSION Multivariate analysis revealed that high-risk disease status was a risk factor for developing CNS infection (p=.02), and that overall survival at 3 years after allo-HSCT was 33% in patients with CNS infection and 53% in those without CNS infection (p=.04).

Abstract
From January 2012 to September 2015, 49 patients received biosimilar filgrastim (BF) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT, n = 31) or peripheral stem cell transplantation (PBSCT, n = 18) in our institution. To evaluate the clinical impact of BF on transplant outcomes of these patients, we compared hematological recovery, overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), transplantation-related mortality (TRM), cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR), and acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) with those of control patients who received originator filgrastim (OF) after BMT (n = 31) or PBSCT (n = 18). All cases were randomly selected from a clinical database in our institution. In both the BMT and PBSCT settings, neutrophil recovery (17 vs. 19 days in BMT; 13 vs. 15 days in PBSCT) and platelet recovery (27 vs. 31 days in BMT; 17 vs. 28 days in PBSCT) were essentially the same between BF and OF. They were also comparable in terms of OS, DFS, TRM, CIR, and the incidence of acute GVHD and chronic GVHD. On multivariate analysis, the use of BF in both BMT and PBSCT was not a significant factor for adverse transplant outcomes. Although BF significantly reduced filgrastim costs in both BMT and PBSCT, total hospitalization costs were not significantly different between BF and OF.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival, which is defined as the absence of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease, systemically treated chronic graft-versus-host disease, relapse, and death, is a novel, meaningful composite end point for clinical trials. To characterize risk factors and differences in graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival according to a variety of graft sources, we analyzed 23,302 patients with hematologic malignancy that had a first allogeneic transplantation from 2000 through 2013 using the Japanese national transplant registry database. The 1-year graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival rate was 41% in all patients. The rate was higher after bone marrow transplantation than after peripheral blood stem cell transplantation due to the lower risks of III-IV acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease. The rate was highest after HLA-matched sibling bone marrow transplantation. The rate after single cord blood transplantation was comparable to that after HLA-matched unrelated bone marrow transplantation among patients aged 20 years or under, and was comparable or better than other alternative graft sources among patients aged 21 years or over, due to the low risk of chronic graft-versus-host disease. Other factors associated with better graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival include female patients, antithymocyte globulin prophylaxis (for standard-risk disease), recent years of transplantation, sex combinations other than from a female donor to a male patient, the absence of prior autologous transplantation, myeloablative conditioning, negative cytomegalovirus serostatus, and tacrolimus-based prophylaxis. These results provide important information to guide the choice of graft sources and are benchmarks for future graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis studies.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide (CY) cardiotoxicity induces a rare lethal complication associated with its use. The minimum dose for cardiac toxicity is still not known, although there are no reports of CY toxicity at doses of less than 100 mg/kg. There are few studies of CY cardiotoxicity that included a large number of patients who received high-dose CY for conditioning for allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-HSCT). To elucidate the clinical course, complications, true incidence, and risk factors, the cardiac events of 811 patients who received more than a total of 100 mg/kg of CY as conditioning for allo-HSCT were analyzed. Twelve of 811 recipients (1.5 %) developed fatal cardiac failure induced by CY at a median of 4 (range 2-8) days after the first administration of CY. Regarding the dose of CY, 8.5, 1.2, and 0 % of the patients developed cardiac failure among the patients treated with a total of 200, 120, and 100 mg/kg CY, respectively. On echocardiography, the E/A ratio shows diastolic dysfunction but not the ejection fraction changed in the early course. Moreover, a short time to the first symptom after the administration of CY tended to be associated with early death (p = 0.09). Eleven patients died from progressive acute cardiac failure at day 7 (5-30) after the first administration of CY, and only one patient survived. In summary, fatal CY cardiotoxicity with allo-HSCT is a rare complication, but it is associated with high mortality. The possibility of CY-induced cardiotoxicity must be considered early after the administration of CY.

Abstract
Total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) is the total resection of a vertebra containing a tumour. Many authors have investigated patient-reported outcomes after routine spinal surgery and surgery for tumours in general. However, this is the first report of patient-reported outcomes, including health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and satisfaction, after en bloc vertebral resection for a spinal tumour. Of the 54 patients who underwent TES for a primary tumour between 1993 and 2010, 19 died and four were lost to follow-up. In January 2012, a questionnaire was sent to the 31 surviving patients. This included the short form-36 to assess HRQoL and questions about the current condition of their disease, activities of daily living (ADL) and surgery. The response rate was high at 83.9% (26/31 patients). We found that most patients were satisfied and maintained good performance of their ADLs. The mental health status and social roles of the HRQoL scores were nearly equivalent to those of healthy individuals, regardless of the time since surgery. There was significant impairment of physical health in the early post-operative years, but this usually returned to normal approximately three years after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the biocompatibility and immunogenicity of two intra-articular hyaluronan formulations, Gel-200 (Gel-One(®)) and hylan G-F 20 (Synvisc(®) series). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A comparison of the biocompatibility of Gel-200 and hylan G-F 20 was made using a rat subcutaneous air pouch model and the knee joint of normal rabbits. Immunogenicity was evaluated using a homologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) assay in guinea pigs. RESULTS In the air pouch model in rats, characteristic fibrous belts formed in the subcutaneous tissue. Injection of hylan G-F 20 into the air pouch induced granulomatous nodules primarily composed of macrophages, multinucleated giant cells, and eosinophils accompanied with the test material in the center of the nodules in the fibrous belt. Furthermore, the thickness of the fibrous belt in the hylan G-F 20 group increased significantly compared to the saline group. Injection of Gel-200 into the air pouch induced neither granulomatous inflammation nor significant thickening of fibrous belt, while foamy macrophages containing the test material were observed. Intra-articular injection of hylan G-F 20 into the rabbit knee joints induced granulomatous inflammation, eosinophil infiltration, and significant increase in the number of cells in the synovial fluid, while these findings were absent in the Gel-200 group. In the immunogenicity assay, hylan G-F 20 induced a positive PCA reaction, but the Gel-200 did not. CONCLUSION Gel-200 showed more favorable biocompatibility and less immunogenicity compared to hylan G-F 20. Gel-200 is expected to be a single injection hyaluronan product with less safety concerns for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA) pain.

Abstract
Jupiter's magnetosphere is a strong particle accelerator that contains ultrarelativistic electrons in its inner part. They are thought to be accelerated by whistler-mode waves excited by anisotropic hot electrons (>10 kiloelectron volts) injected from the outer magnetosphere. However, electron transportation in the inner magnetosphere is not well understood. By analyzing the extreme ultraviolet line emission from the inner magnetosphere, we show evidence for global inward transport of flux tubes containing hot plasma. High-spectral-resolution scanning observations of the Io plasma torus in the inner magnetosphere enable us to generate radial profiles of the hot electron fraction. It gradually decreases with decreasing radial distance, despite the short collisional time scale that should thermalize them rapidly. This indicates a fast and continuous resupply of hot electrons responsible for exciting the whistler-mode waves.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pentra MS CRP is a new automated hematology analyzer that can rapidly and reliably provide 5-part differential of leukocytes (5-Diff) and C-reactive protein (CRP) within approximately 3.5 min using a small volume of whole blood (35 μL). METHODS We evaluated the basic performance of Pentra MS CRP and correlations with Sysmex XN-3000, manual microscopic count, and Hitachi LABOSPECT. RESULTS Pentra MS CRP demonstrated good repeatability and linearity without any significant carryover for all parameters examined (WBC, RBC, HGB, Hct, PLT, 5-Diff, and CRP). Complete blood cell count (CBC) data examined by Pentra MS CRP correlated well with those evaluated by Sysmex XN-3000 (R ≥ 0.9880). Absolute number of NEU, LYM, and EOS also showed the good correlation (R ≥ 0.9866) between the two analyzers. The correlation with the manual microscopic count was within acceptable criteria. Furthermore, when CRP was examined in hemolyzed whole blood by Pentra MS CRP and converted to plasma concentrations according to Hct, it correlated well (R = 0.9964) with serum CRP examined by Hitachi LABOSPECT. CONCLUSION Pentra MS CRP is a convenient and reliable analyzer especially in the emergency unit of hospitals in which the prompt and simultaneous measurement of CBC including 5-Diff and CRP is often necessary.
