Abstract
Abstract
Background: Anthracycline-containing regimens and taxane have been standard as the first-line chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We conducted SELECT BC (randomized phase 3 study of taxane versus S-1 as first-line treatment for MBC) for evaluating the efficacy of S-1 for patients with HER2-negative MBC from 2006 to 2010 in Japan. This study demonstrated non-inferiority of S-1 in overall survival (OS) (median OS was 37.2 months in taxes group and 35.0 months in S-1 group (HR 1.05, 95% CI 0.86–1.27, p=0.015)), and superiority in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) to taxanes. S-1 was also shown as less toxic than taxane (Lancet Oncol 2016; 17: 90-98). S-1 might provide clinical benefit as first-line treatment for patients with HER2-negative MBC. To confirm this suggestion, we have conducted further study (randomized phase 3 study of anthracycline-containing regimens versus S-1 as first-line treatment for HER2-negative MBC: SELECT BC-CONFIRM) from 2011 to present, and a combined analysis of two randomized studies (SELECT-BC CONFIRM and SELECT-BC).
Methods: In SELECT BC-CONFIRM, 230 patients receiving first-line treatment for MBC were randomly assigned to either anthracycline group (n=115) or S-1 group (n=115). Anthracycline group patients received anthracycline-containing regimens (AC, EC, FAC, FEC, q3w) at the discretion of the treating physician. S-1 group patients received S-1 40–60 mg twice daily based on the patient's body surface area for 28 days on, 14-day off. The primary endpoint was OS, and secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), time to treatment failure (TTF), adverse events, HRQOL, and cost-effectiveness. The results were combined with SELECT-BC, to confirm the hypothesis that S-1 treatment is not inferior to the standard therapy (taxanes / anthracycline) for HER2-negative MBC.
Results: A combined analysis of the two studies showed that HR was 1.06, 95%CI 0.90-1.253, and p=0.0071 between the standard therapy group and S-1 group. In addition, the Bayesian posterior probability for which HR would be less than 1.333 was about 99.6%.
Conclusions: A combined analysis of SELECT BC-CONFIRM and SELECT BC clearly demonstrated that OS with S-1 was not inferior to that with the standard therapy in patients receiving first-line treatment for HER2-negative MBC. S-1 could become a standard therapy for this patient population.

Abstract
Abstract
(Background) SUVmax levels (maximum radioactivity concentration per a pixel) on FDG-PET reflect glucose uptake and it is clinically useful as a prognostic factor. It is reported that breast cancer with high levels of SUVmax causes insufficient glucose concentration in stromal tissue, which results in suppressed cytotoxic T-lymphocytes function. These data may indicate that the prognostic significance of SUVmax levels is influenced by local immune environment of breast cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate whether local immune responses of breast cancer affect correlation of SUVmax levels and prognosis.
(Method) The 278 invasive breast cancer patients were recruited who underwent surgery at Hyogo College of Medicine Hospital and whose SUVmax levels in the breast were examined before surgery or neo-adjuvant therapy. The cutoff value of SUVmax levels was set at 3.585. Tumor infiltrate lymphocytes (TILs) were evaluated as a local immune response and the distributions of TILs were divided into three groups, inflamed (intra-tumoral lymphocytes, Inf), immune excluded (peri-tumoral lymphocytes, IE) and immune desert (very few lymphocytes, ID). During follow-up period (median 39 months), 21 patients relapsed.
(Results) Relapse free survival (RFS) in the SUVmax-high group was significantly worse than in the SUVmax–low group (p=0.0026). There was no correlation between TILs distribution patterns and RFS. In the IE+ID group (175 patients) SUVmax levels were not correlated with prognosis, but in the Inf group (103 patients) RFS of SUVmax-high was significantly worse than of SUVmax-low (p=0.0051). In the multivariate analysis including nodal status and nuclear grade, SUVmax levels of the Inf group was an independent prognostic factor.
(Discussion and conclusion) SUVmax levels in primary lesions were correlated with prognosis only in the Inf group and were not in the IE+ID group. A significance of SUVmax levels as a prognostic factor may be diverse depending on the local immune environment of breast cancer. A novel therapeutic strategy such as inducing suppression of glucose uptake in cancer cells is suggested for breast cancer with immune inflamed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Two randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy of oral tegafur-uracil (UFT) (2 years) with that of classical cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil (CMF) (6 courses) were conducted in patients with resected early breast cancer. UFT is an oral fluoropyrimidine that combines tegafur, a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil, with uracil in a 1:4 molar ratio. One study was the N-SAS-BC01 trial (Watanabe et al, J Clin Oncol 2009), which was conducted in patients with high-risk node-negative breast cancer (n=733). The other was the CUBC trial (Park et al, Br J Cancer 2009), which was performed in patients with node-positive breast cancer (n=377). We reported the pooled analysis of these two randomized control trials using individual patient data (Ohashi et al, Breast Cancer Res Treat 2010). This pooled analysis showed that UFT was non-inferior to CMF in terms of inhibiting recurrence of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive early breast cancer. In addition, an exploratory subgroup analysis showed that UFT may be more effective in ER-positive patients who were 50 years or older. The present study was conducted to investigate the long-term efficacy of UFT or CMF in patients with early breast cancer.
Methods: Long-term follow-up data for disease recurrence and survival were collected. Hazard ratios (HR) were determined using the Cox model stratified by study and adjusted for clinical characteristics, namely age, tumor size, nodal status, histological type, ER, and progesterone receptor (PgR). Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Hochberg multiplicity adjustment was applied in the previous pooled analysis, and non-inferiority of UFT versus CMF was shown in terms of relapse-free survival (RFS) in the ER-positive patient group. We investigated the non-inferiority of UFT in the same patient group with updated data. Restricted mean survival time (RMST) was calculated to consider the relative efficacy of UFT. This study is registered with JapicCTI-163321.
Results: In total, 1,057 patients were analyzed (CMF, n=528; UFT n=529). The median follow-up time was 11.1 years (12.1 years in the N-SAS-BC 01 trial and 8.3 years in the CUBC trial). Table 1 shows the 10-year RFS and overall survival (OS) in all patients and ER-positive patients. The difference in RMST between arms at 20 years in terms of RFS was -2.7 months in all patients and 3.4 months in ER-positive patients. Table 2 shows the HR for RFS according to ER status and age.

Abstract
Extrahepatic congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSSs) can be occluded by surgical or endovascular approaches. However, when the estimated portal vein (PV) pressure after the closure is high enough to induce symptoms associated with portal hypertension, partial closure is recommended to avoid life-threatening events. In this study, we attempted laparoscopic partial closure of a CPSS in two patients. Along with intraoperative real-time measuring of the PV pressure and angiography, laparoscopic partial closure was performed to achieve a PV pressure of ≤25 mmHg. Subsequently, the intrahepatic portal system grew in both patients. The partially ligated CPSS closed spontaneously in the first patient. In the second patient, laparoscopic complete closure was performed for the residual CPSS 6 months after the first operation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of laparoscopic partial closure for CPSS. Minimally invasive laparoscopic partial ligation of CPSS is technically feasible and useful when the estimated PV pressure is too high to tolerate one-step complete closure.

Abstract
Genomic selection based on a high-throughput microarray for genotyping single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is expected to accelerate genetic improvement in cattle. Recently, a genomic evaluation system for carcass traits, such as carcass weight and marbling score, is being established in Japanese Black cattle. To further increase genetic improvement efficiency in this breed, establishing a genomic evaluation system for pre-implantation embryos before embryo transfer (ET) is required. Here, we examined the correlation between genomic estimated breeding value (GEBV) of carcass traits calculated from embryonic (blastocyst) biopsy cells and from a corresponding calf produced by ET (Experiment 1); we also evaluated the pregnancy rate following ET of GEBV-evaluated blastocysts (GEBV blastocysts) preserved by vitrification (Experiment 2). In total, 16 Japanese Black dams and cryopreserved semen from 6 Japanese Black sires were used for producing in vivo blastocysts (Day 7-8). In Experiment 1, four blastocysts (IETS code 1) were divided into biopsy cells (15-20 cells) and biopsied embryos using a micromanipulator equipped with a micro blade. Biopsy cells were processed for DNA extraction and whole-genome amplification. Freshly biopsied embryos were transferred to recipient cows, and DNA was extracted from the blood or ear cells of the resulting 4 calves. Then SNP genotyping was performed using Illumina bovine LD BeadChip (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). The GEBV of 6 carcass traits (carcass weight, ribeye area, rib thickness, subcutaneous fat thickness, estimated yield percent, and marbling score) were calculated using phenotypic and genotypic data from 4,311 Japanese Black steers, and these were compared between biopsy cells and the corresponding calf. In Experiment 2, 134 blastocysts (IETS code 1 and 2) in total were biopsied (10-20 cells), and the biopsied embryos were vitrified by the cryotop method. Biopsy cells were processed for SNP genotyping as in Experiment 1, and the samples in which the call rate was more than 85% were used for GEBV calculation. Based on GEBV records, 24 vitrified GEBV blastocysts were warmed, cultured for 3 to 5h, and 22 GEBV blastocysts that survived (re-expanded) post-culture were transferred to recipient cows. Pregnancy in these cows was diagnosed using ultrasonography during Day 55 to 60 of gestation. In Experiment 1, the SNP call rates of the biopsy cells and corresponding calf were 98.5 to 99.3% and 99.7 to 99.8%, respectively. The GEBV of 6 carcass traits from biopsy cells and from the corresponding calf had almost the same values. In Experiment 2, the SNP call rates of the biopsy cells were ranged from 26.1 to 99.3%. The GEBV of 6 carcass traits varied among full-sib embryos. The pregnancy rate following ET of vitrified GEBV blastocysts was 40.9% (9/22). These results suggest the possible application of a genomic evaluation system for carcass traits at the blastocyst stage in Japanese Black cattle. Further large-scale assessment of pregnancy rates following ET of cryopreserved GEBV blastocysts is required for practical application of the evaluation system.

Abstract
Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a well-recognized and potentially fatal complication of cardiac transplantation that commonly involves the gastrointestinal tract. Herein, we report a case of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding from recurrent terminal ileac ulcers mimicking PTLD in a heart recipient treated with everolimus (EVL). A 40-year-old man underwent heart transplantation for dilated cardiomyopathy 3 years prior to the current admission and was treated with tacrolimus and EVL. He was admitted to a local hospital because of fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. His symptoms persisted and, 3 weeks later, hematochezia occurred; thus, he was transferred to our hospital. As computed tomography and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography showed bowel-wall thickening of the terminal ileum, gastrointestinal PTLD was initially suspected. However, although colonoscopy- performed after switching EVL to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)-showed terminal ileac ulcers, the histologic examination revealed no findings corresponding to PTLD. As EVL may delay ulcer healing, MMF was maintained for 3 months. After repeated colonoscopy showed ulcer healing, MMF was switched back to EVL for cardiac allograft vasculopathy prevention. Three weeks later, he was emergently admitted to a local hospital for life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding from a recurrent terminal ileal ulcer, which required hemostatic forceps hemostasis. As EVL is suspected to be associated with recurrent ileal ulcers, EVL was again switched back to MMF. The ileal ulcers resolved, without recurrence in 3 months of clinical follow-up. This case demonstrates that cases of life-threatening gastrointestinal bleeding from recurrent terminal ileac ulcers can mimic PTLD in a heart recipient treated with EVL.

Abstract
To cope with the high bandwidth requirements of wireless applications1, carrier frequencies are shifting towards the millimetre-wave and terahertz bands2-5. Conversely, data is normally transported to remote wireless antennas by optical fibres. Therefore, full transparency and flexibility to switch between optical and wireless domains would be desirable6,7. Here, we demonstrate for the first time a direct wireless-to-optical receiver in a transparent optical link. We successfully transmit 20 and 10 Gbit/s over wireless distances of 1 and 5 m at a carrier frequency of 60 GHz, respectively. Key to the breakthrough was a plasmonic mixer directly mapping the wireless information onto optical signals. The plasmonic scheme with its subwavelength feature and pronounced field confinement provides a built-in field enhancement of up to 90'000 over the incident field in an ultra-compact and CMOS compatible structure. The plasmonic mixer is not limited by electronic speed and thus compatible with future terahertz technologies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Differences in clinical features between congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) and bronchial atresia (BA) have not yet been clearly described. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 112 patients with a pathological diagnosis of CPAM or BA. The clinical parameters were statistically analyzed between these diseases. RESULTS Seventy-one patients received prenatal diagnosis and 41 received postnatal diagnosis. The percentage of prenatal diagnosis was significantly higher in CPAM patients (84% vs 50%, p < 0.001). Among patients with prenatal diagnosis, the backgrounds were not different between the two diseases except for the number of Caesarean sections (81% vs 9%, p < 0.0001). The numbers of patients that underwent fetal interventions and emergent neonatal surgery were higher in CPAM (51% vs 15%, p < 0.01 and 76% vs 12%, p < 0.0001), although there was no statistical difference in survival rate (86% vs 97%, p = 0.2). In patients receiving postnatal diagnosis, pneumonia was the primary symptom in most BA patients, whereas respiratory distress was the major symptom in patients with CPAM. Age at presentation of the primary symptom was significantly older in BA patients (4.2 years vs 1.2 years, p < 0.005). CONCLUSION CPAM and BA have distinct clinical features in terms of therapeutic and natural history. Careful imaging evaluation and pathological analysis can lead to an accurate diagnosis of BA. TYPE OF STUDY Prognostic study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II. This study is categorized as a "Prognostic Study" with LEVEL III of Evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To treat organ transplant patients with mycobacterial infection, physicians need to pay attention to interaction between drugs used against mycobacteria and immunosuppressants. The purpose of this report is to describe the clinical features of and treatment for mycobacterial infection in lung transplant (LTx) recipients. METHODS To investigate the incidence, treatment, and outcome for mycobacterial infection, we retrospectively reviewed 100 LTx recipients in our program since 2000. RESULTS Four recipients (4.0%) developed mycobacterial infection. Three recipients took tacrolimus, and 1 received cyclosporine with mycophenolate mofetil and a steroid for immunosuppression. Tuberculosis (TB) was isolated from 2 recipients, and non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis (NTM) was detected in the other 2. We treated the patients with levofloxacin + isoniazid + pyrazinamide + ethambutol (EB) for TB and clarithromycin (CLM) + EB for NTM to avoid interaction of calcineurin inhibitors (CNI: 8-10 ng/mL in trough level) with rifampicin (RFP). In treating the patients with NTM, we were able to maintain an adequate blood concentration of CNI by decreasing the dosage from one-half to one-quarter. All mycobacterial infections were controlled with treatment. In 1 patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) infected with TB in the native lung, the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) unexpectedly increased from 1890 mL before infection to 2320 mL possibly due to organization of the native lung. CONCLUSIONS We were able to manage the mycobacterial infections using drugs other than RFP without any cases of acute rejection under adequate immunosuppression. Organization of the native lung with TB infection unexpectedly resulted in improvement of FEV1 in a COPD patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the presence of ganglion cells in the rectum, some patients have symptoms similar to those of Hirschsprung's disease. A consensus has yet to be established regarding the terminology for these diseases. We defined this group of diseases as "allied disorders of Hirschsprung's disease" and compiled these guidelines to facilitate accurate clinician diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment strategies for each disease. METHODS These guidelines were developed using the methodologies in the Medical Information Network Distribution System (MINDS). Of seven allied disorders, isolated hypoganglionosis; megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome; and chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction were selected as targets of clinical questions (CQ). In a comprehensive search of the Japanese- and English-language articles in PubMed and Ichu-Shi Web, 836 pieces of evidence related to the CQ were extracted from 288 articles; these pieces of evidence were summarized in an evidence table. RESULTS We herein outline the newly established Japanese clinical practice guidelines for allied disorders of Hirschsprung's disease. Given that the target diseases are rare and intractable, most evidence was drawn from case reports and case series. In the CQ, the diagnosis, medication, nutritional support, surgical therapy, and prognosis for each disease are given. We emphasize the importance of full-thickness intestinal biopsy specimens for the histopathological evaluation of enteric ganglia. Considering the practicality of the guidelines, the recommendations for each CQ were created with protracted discussions among specialists. CONCLUSIONS Clinical practice recommendations for allied disorders of Hirschprung's disease are given for each CQ, along with an assessment of the current evidence. We hope that the information will be helpful in daily practice and future studies.
