Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several studies have reported that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the gene encoding NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) contribute to airflow limitations in smokers without COPD. Although small airway lesions and emphysema contribute cooperatively to airflow limitation, the relationship between Nrf2 SNPs and the development of emphysema in smokers without COPD is not well understood. METHODS Healthy subjects who underwent an annual health checkup with computed tomography (CT) of the chest at Osaka City University Hospital were prospectively recruited. The percentage of low-attenuation area (%LAA) on chest CT was quantified, and correlations between %LAA, Nrf2 SNP [rs6726395 (G/A)] genotypes, and clinical characteristics were examined. RESULTS A total of 245 subjects without COPD [non-/light-smoker: 153 (62.4%) and smoker: 92 (37.6%)] were enrolled. The %LAA in the upper lung field was higher than that in the lower lung field (p < 0.001). The %LAA in smokers was significantly higher than that in non-/light-smokers (p = 0.021). The %LAA showed significant but weak correlation with age in all subjects (r = 0.141, p = 0.028). Divided by genotype, the %LAA of the upper lung field was significantly correlated with age in smokers with genotype GG (wild type) (r = 0.333, p = 0.022), but was not significantly correlated with age in smokers with genotype AG/AA. These correlations were not observed in non-/light smokers. CONCLUSION A polymorphism rs6726395 in Nrf2 can contribute to the development of emphysema-associated aging in smokers. The Nrf2 SNP may be a predictive factor for smoking-induced emphysema, and genotyping of Nrf2 SNP may serve as biomarker for emphysema prevention.

Abstract
The high-accuracy alignment of magnets is a key issue in the development of next-generation light-source rings. To obtain adequate dynamic apertures, the magnets must be aligned to an accuracy of 10 µm or better. Recently, a new technique that utilizes a vibrating wire has attracted attention for this purpose as it can directly determine with high resolution the magnetic centers in a series of multipole magnets on a straight section between bending magnets. In conventional vibrating-wire alignment techniques, wire sag, which causes alignment errors, is determined from the theoretical catenary curve. By contrast, in the present study, we have measured the sag profiles of various wires in the longitudinal direction to micrometer-order accuracy. We concluded that we can reduce deviations of the actual wire sag from the theoretical curve by choosing a suitable wire. By setting up a test bench of a vibrating-wire alignment system for a series of multipole magnet on a straight section, we have achieved the total error of the magnetic-center measurements of micrometer-order in the standard deviation. Moreover, two systematic error factors, the drift of the magnetic centers due to thermal deformations of the magnets after they are excited and the change in the magnetic centers due to reassembly of the magnets after installing the vacuum chamber, are included in practical magnet alignments. We have experimentally investigated these error factors using the test bench.

Abstract
A 51-year-old man was diagnosed with stage IIC nodular malignant melanoma (T4bN0M0) of the right upper arm. The tumor was treatment-refractory, and left-sided pleural effusion emerged 1.5 years later. Aspiration of pleural fluid revealed abundant amelanotic, atypical cells that resembled epithelial malignant mesothelioma or lung adenocarcinoma cells; these cells were positive for melanoma-associated antigen recognized by T cells (MART-1)/Melan-A, HMB-45, and S-100 on immunocytochemistry. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) revealed marked diffuse pleural thickening in the left hemithorax that mimicked malignant mesothelioma; thus, the present report describes the unique cytological and radiological findings of this case.

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.
UFT (%)CMF (%)UFT to CMF; HR (95% CI)10-year RFSall patients74.477.11.02 (0.81–1.30)ER-positive patients75.075.10.91 (0.66–1.27)10-year OSall patients86.886.90.98 (0.72–1.34)ER-positive patients89.987.90.86 (0.54–1.37)

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 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
Objective We investigated a novel diagnostic scoring system to differentiate Legionella pneumophila pneumonia from Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 62 patients with L. pneumophila pneumonia (L-group) and 70 patients with S. pneumoniae pneumonia (S-group). Results The serum sodium (Na) levels tended to be lower according to the severity [age, dehydration, respiratory failure, orientation disturbance, low blood pressure (A-DROP)] score in the L-group. On a multivariate analysis, we found that four factors were independent predictive markers for inclusion in the L-group: relative bradycardia [hazard ratio (HR) 5.177, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.072-24.993, p=0.041], lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels ≥292 IU/L (HR 6.804, 95% CI: 1.629-28.416, p=0.009), C-reactive protein (CRP) levels ≥21 mg/dL (HR 28.073, 95% CI: 5.654-139.462, p<0.001), and Na levels ≤137 meq/L (HR 5.828, 95% CI: 1.411-24.065, p=0.015). Furthermore, a total score [ranging from 0 to 4, the sum of the points for each factor (0 or 1)] ≥3 points indicated a higher probability of inclusion in the L-group than in the S-group. The diagnostic accuracy of a total score of 3 had a sensitivity of 36.3%, specificity of 100%, and area under the curve of 0.682 (95% CI: 0.558-0.806, p=0.004), and that of a total score of 4 had a sensitivity 27.4%, specificity of 98.2%, and area under the curve (AUC) of 0.627 (95% CI: 0.501-0.754, p=0.045). The diagnostic accuracy had low sensitivity but high specificity. Conclusions We found four markers that might be useful for differentiating L-group from S-group and created a novel diagnostic scoring system.

Abstract
Streptococcus parasuis has recently been removed taxonomically from Streptococcus suis, a zoonotic pathogen. S. parasuis has been detected
in healthy pigs and in diseased pigs, which suggests that S. parasuis is involved in the normal microbiota of pigs and has potential pathogenicity. However, the
pathogenicity of S. parasuis in pigs is unclear because of the lack of appropriate detection methods that discriminate S. parasuis from S.
suis. In this study, we developed a PCR method that is specific for S. parasuis. The detection limit of the PCR was 350 CFU per reaction. Bacteria isolated from
the saliva of eight pigs were collected and examined by PCR. Sixty-four isolates positive for PCR were obtained from the samples of all pigs. Thirteen of the 64 isolates were genetically
confirmed as S. parasuis, and biologically and biochemically had nearly the same features of known S. parasuis strains, which suggested that strains
positive for PCR were S. parasuis. Among the 64 isolates, 28 isolates were serotypes 20, 22, or 26 in the S. suis serotyping scheme. The remaining 36
isolates were untypeable, which suggested the presence of novel serotypes or a capsule-negative form. Therefore, the PCR method described in this study is a useful tool for identifying
S. parasuis, and can be used in etiological studies on this bacterium.
