Abstract
Pseudoinvasion is a phenomenon in which adenomatous tissue deviates into the submucosa with the mucosal lamina propria in colorectal epithelial tumors. A relatively large, stalked, neoplastic lesion of the sigmoid colon is considered at high risk of pseudoinvasion. A few reports have described endoscopic mucosal resection or polypectomy for colorectal tumors with pseudoinvasion, but the vertical margins were not sufficiently assessed. Because a positive margin can be a risk factor for recurrence, endoscopic treatment for pseudoinvasion should be carefully considered. We herein report a case in which even endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was not adequate for curative resection of pseudoinvasion in early colorectal cancer. The endoscopic findings of a 25-mm Type 0-Is lesion in the sigmoid colon suggested a low possibility of carcinoma invasion into the deep submucosa. Although ESD was considered to be indicated in this case, laparoscopic sigmoid colon resection was eventually performed because we observed a broadly pulled muscle layer and an almost undetectable submucosal layer during ESD. The surgical specimen showed that the tumor glands of pseudoinvasion existed beyond the planned ESD dissection line, indicating that the vertical margin would have been positive if we had continued ESD. Whether pseudoinvasion was associated with the infeasibility of ESD remains unclear. This case indicates that diagnosing the presence and depth of pseudoinvasion by magnified endoscopy with narrow-band imaging is challenging and that preoperative examinations, such as endoscopic ultrasound, may be needed for a tumor with a high risk of pseudoinvasion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Resection of colorectal polyps has been shown to decrease the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. Large non-pedunculated colorectal polyps are often referred to expert centres for endoscopic resection, which requires relevant information to be conveyed to the therapeutic endoscopist to allow for triage and planning of resection technique. The primary objective of our study was to establish minimum expected standards for the referral of LNPCP for potential ER. METHODS A Delphi methodology was employed to establish consensus on minimum expected standards for the referral of large colorectal polyps among a panel of international endoscopy experts. The expert panel was recruited through purposive sampling, and three rounds of surveys were conducted to achieve consensus, with quantitative and qualitative data analysed for each round. RESULTS A total of 24 international experts from diverse continents participated in the Delphi study, resulting in consensus on 19 statements related to the referral of large colorectal polyps. The identified factors, including patient demographics, relevant medications, lesion factors, photodocumentation and the presence of a tattoo, were deemed important for conveying the necessary information to therapeutic endoscopists. The mean scores for the statements ranged from 7.04 to 9.29 out of 10, with high percentages of experts considering most statements as a very high priority. Subgroup analysis by continent revealed some variations in consensus rates among experts from different regions. CONCLUSION The identified consensus statements can aid in improving the triage and planning of resection techniques for large colorectal polyps, ultimately contributing to the reduction of colorectal cancer incidence and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at risk of developing colorectal cancer. The feasibility of endoscopic resection (ER) for UC-associated neoplasia has been suggested, but its efficacy and safety remain unclear. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of ER for colorectal neoplasms in patients with UC. METHODS This was a retrospective, multicenter cohort study of patients with UC who initially underwent ER or surgery for colorectal neoplasms between April 2015 and March 2021. Patients who had prior colorectal neoplastic lesions were excluded. RESULTS Among 213 men and 123 women analyzed, the mean age at UC onset was 41.6 years, and the mean age at neoplasia diagnosis was 56.1 years for 240 cases of total colitis, 59 cases of left-sided colitis, 31 cases of proctitis, and 6 cases of segmental colitis. EMR was performed for 142 lesions, and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed for 96 lesions. The perforation rate was 2.5% for all 238 lesions removed by ER and 6.3% for the 96 lesions removed by ESD. Among 146 ER lesions followed up with endoscopy, the local recurrence rate was 2.7%. The incidence of metachronous neoplasia after ER was 6.1%. All patients were followed a median of 34.7 months after initial treatment, and 5 died (all surgical cases). Overall survival was significantly higher in the ER group than in the surgery group (P = .0085). CONCLUSIONS ER for colorectal neoplasms in UC may be acceptable in selected cases, although follow-up for metachronous lesions is necessary.

Abstract
Background and study aims Endoscopic treatment strategies for small superficial duodenal epithelial neoplasia (SDET) have not been established, and the R0 resection rates of all previously reported endoscopic techniques are somewhat low. Furthermore, no reports of cap-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection (EMRC), which is reportedly associated with a relatively high R0 resection rate, have been evaluated in sufficient numbers of patients. Therefore, we assessed the efficacy and safety of EMRC for SDETs ≤ 10 mm in a retrospective cohort study. Patients and methods We examined a prospectively maintained database and identified 248 consecutive patients (248 lesions) who had undergone endoscopic resection for SDETs ≤ 10 mm between January 2017 and June 2022. Our treatment strategy was consistent, with EMRC indicated for all SDETs ≤ 10 mm without non-lifting signs. The primary endpoint was the R0 resection rate. Results Overall, 20 lesions had non-lifting signs and were selected for endoscopic submucosal dissection, while the remaining 228 lesions were treated with EMRC. As a result of EMRC, the median tumor size was 5 mm, and the mean procedure time was 5 minutes. Most of the lesions (89.2%) were located in the descending part. The R0 resection rate was 97.4% (222/228 cases), and the en bloc resection rate was 99.6%. Only seven patients(3.1%) experienced adverse events (6 patients, delayed bleeding; 1 patient, acute pancreatitis), which were successfully managed without surgical intervention. Furthermore, no recurrences were observed. Conclusions We have demonstrated that EMRC is an effective and safe treatment for SDETs ≤ 10 mm that do not have non-lifting signs.

Abstract
In diseases related to oxidative stress, accumulation of metal ions at the site of pathogenesis results in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through the reductive activation of oxygen molecules catalyzed by the metal ions. If these metals can be removed and the generated ROS can be strongly scavenged, such diseases can be prevented and treated. Planar catechins exhibit stronger radical scavenging activity than natural catechins and can efficiently scavenge hydroxyl radicals generated by the Fenton reaction without showing pro-oxidant effects, even in the presence of iron ions. Hence, in the current study, we designed a compound in which diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), a metal chelator, was bound to a planar catechin with enhanced radical scavenging activity by immobilizing the steric structure of a natural catechin to be planar. This compound showed almost no radical scavenging activity due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding of DTPA with the planar catechins; however, when coordinated with Fe3+, it showed more potent radical scavenging activity than planar catechins. Owing to its potent antioxidant activity triggered by metal coordination and its inhibition of ROS generation by trapping metal ions, this compound might exert excellent preventive and therapeutic effects against oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
The ease with which a nitrated polyaromatic hydrocarbon (NO2PAH) is activated by reductive metabolism is an important factor in determining mutagenicity. However, the mutagenicity of 3-nitrobenzo[a]pyrene (3-NO2BaP) is stronger than that of 1-NO2BaP despite similar reduction properties, and the more potent mutagenicity of 3,6-diNO2BaP relative to that of 1,6-diNO2BaP cannot be explained by relative reducibility. Here, we investigated structural factors leading to the mutagenicity of these compounds by synthesizing 1- and 3-NO2BaP derivatives with C6-position substituents that affect reduction properties and testing the mutagenicity of the compounds and their derivatives against Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA98NR. The LUMO and LUMO+1 energies of 6-substituted 3-NO2BaPs were found to correlate with mutagenicity, but such correlations were much weaker with 6-substituted 1-NO2BaPs, indicating that the mutagenicity of 3-NO2BaPs is influenced by the ease of reductive metabolic activation. In silico structural analyses demonstrated that the distances between the nitrogen of the N-acetoxyamino group in reductive metabolites and a DNA alkylation target were longer for 1-NO2BaPs than for 3-NO2BaPs. Therefore, the active metabolites of 6-substituted 3-NO2BaPs intercalate with DNA at a distance where they can readily form adducts with guanine. Conversely, the unfavorable position of intercalated active metabolites of 1-NO2BaPs relative to guanine leads to difficult adduct formation despite the facile formation of the active metabolite due to a low LUMO energy. Therefore, the chemical reducibility of the nitro group and, more importantly, the ease of adduct formation between an active metabolite and DNA are essential for the prediction of the mutagenicity of NO2PAHs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Although the frequency of endoscopic diagnosis of superficial non-ampullary duodenal epithelial tumors (SNADETs) has been increasing in recent years, no criteria for the endoscopic diagnosis of these tumors have been established yet. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of endocytoscopy for diagnosis SNADETs and to establish new criteria. METHODS This prospective study was conducted at the NTT Medical Center Tokyo from May 2019 to July 2020, and a total of 100 consecutive SNADETs were enrolled. All the endocytoscopic images of the lesions and surrounding normal mucosa were classified into three groups according to the degree of structural atypia and the nuclear morphology and size. The endocytoscopic diagnoses using endocytoscopic classification was compared with the final histopathological diagnoses. RESULTS Data of 93 patients with 98 lesions were included in the analysis. The preoperative diagnosis by endocytoscopy coincided with the final histopathological diagnosis in 85 (86.7%) of 98 SNADETs. In addition, the sensitivity and specificity for VCL 4/5 were 87.7% and 85.4%, respectively. In contrast, the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of preoperative diagnosis by biopsy were 64.3%, 50.9%, and 82.9%, respectively. Preoperative diagnosis by endocytoscopy showed significantly superior accuracy and sensitivity as compared with preoperative biopsy diagnosis (P < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS This new classification (endocytoscopic classification) allows prediction of the tumor histopathology in real time, during endocytoscopy without biopsy, and is expected to be of help in determining the appropriate therapeutic strategies for individual cases of SNADETs.

Abstract
Background: Arctigenin, a lignan polyphenol found in burdock sprout, is a potent activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and has beneficial effects on metabolic disorders in mice. This highlights the potential value of arctigenin for the reduction of oxidized LDL (oxLDL) by activation of AMPK in human, but not well elucidated.Methods: We conducted a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind, parallel-groups study in healthy adults to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of a continuous intake of burdock sprout extract enriched with arctigenin on lipid metabolism. The subjects were 100 Japanese individuals with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) < 140 mg/dl and a body mass index (BMI) of 23–30 kg/m2 who were randomly assigned to receive either burdock sprout extract (test food) or a placebo. The test food was encapsulated burdock sprout extract containing approximately 40 mg of arctigenin equivalent per day, and the placebo capsules contained no burdock sprout extract. The subjects consumed the assigned foods daily for 12 weeks.Results: The test food significantly suppressed oxLDL after 12 weeks in subjects with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 or higher. The test food inhibited an increase in the FIB-4 index (liver fibrosis index), an indicator of hepatic fibrosis. Pearson’s correlation coefficient analysis revealed a significant correlation between oxLDL and FIB-4 index changes, suggesting that the test food suppressed the rise in the FIB-4 index by controlling oxLDL while maintaining the platelet count.Conclusions: We conclude that the consumption of a burdock sprout supplement containing arctigenin is effective in suppressing oxLDL, which may prevent liver fibrosis.Clinical trial registration: UMIN000036664Keywords: arctigenin, burdock sprout, oxidized LDL, FIB-4 index, randomized controlled study

Abstract
Objective With increased screening, more patients with precancerous or early cervical cancer are now being identified. Age at pregnancy, and thus number of patients requiring fertility preservation, have also increased, resulting in more diagnostic and therapeutic cervical conization (conization) procedures. We here investigated the pathological and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing conization, with a focus on age. The objectives of our study were to identify the risk factors potentially involved in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) recurrence or persistence, additional treatment after conization, the effects of conization on pregnancy, and the actual status of conization in Japan. Study design A "Subcommittee for Investigation of Cervical Conization" within the Gynecologic Oncology Committee in the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology investigated pathological and clinical characteristics of conization at 205 institutions in Japan. We analyzed pathological and clinical characteristics according to age ≤50 and >50 years. Results Patients aged 20-40 years accounted for 12904 (87%) of the 14,832 study patients (median: 37 years, range: 16-88 years). However, 1838 (12.4%) were aged >50 years. The commonest post-operative diagnosis was CIN grade 3 in all age groups. Rates of invasive cancer, post-operative detection of more advanced lesions, positive surgical margins, additional treatment, and recurrence were significantly higher in patients aged ≥50 years than those aged <50 years (all p < 0.01), whereas rates of post-operative complications did not differ significantly between age groups. The relationship between cerclage and the incidence of amniorrhexis or premature birth did not differ significantly in any age group. Conclusion Post-conization management of patients aged ≥50 years requires considering the high rates of detection of more advanced lesions post-operatively, positive surgical margins, and recurrence. Cerclage should not be performed post-conization without careful consideration.

Abstract
Background With the recent increased use of lanthanum carbonate, several cases of lanthanum phosphate deposition to gastric mucosa in dialysis patients have been reported. However, the endoscopic appearance of the early-stage lesion and the over-time alterations of endoscopic findings due to the progression of lanthanum phosphate deposition remain unclear. Case presentation An 80-year-old man receiving dialysis and taking lanthanum carbonate as a phosphate binder over a 4-year period underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy four times beginning 1 year after initiation of treatment. The first endoscopic examination (after 1 year of exposure to lanthanum carbonate) revealed rough mucosa with a few areas of white granular mucosa. Over the 3 years of endoscopic follow-up, the white granular mucosa spread and multiple erosions appeared. Histopathological findings of biopsy specimens from an erosion showed extensive infiltration by histiocytes containing deposits. Scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) revealed that the presence of the deposits containing phosphorus and lanthanum in the gastric mucosa. On the basis of these results, the patient was diagnosed with gastropathy associated with lanthanum phosphate deposition. Conclusions Over a 3-year period, endoscopic findings associated with lanthanum deposition gradually changed and expanded from the early stage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To (i) identify correlations between selected immunogenic factors and clinicopathological characteristics, (ii) determine whether intratumoral abundance of various specific tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is a prognostic indicator in women with Stage II and III cervical cancer who undergo treatment with cisplatin-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT), and (iii) investigate subtypes of FOXP3+ T cells in 15 fresh samples of cervical cancer. METHODS In this retrospective study, intratumoral lesions in colposcopic biopsies from 55 women with advanced cervical cancer who subsequently underwent CCRT at our institution were subjected to automatic immunological staining using the following six mouse monoclonal antibodies: anti-CD3, anti-CD4, anti-CD8, anti-CD20, anti-CD206, and anti-FOXP3. Associations between the findings on automatic scoring of the number of each type of TIL in each specimen and various clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed, as were associations between the abundance of various specific types of TIL and survival. Subtypes of FOXP3+ TILs in 15 additional fresh tumor samples were also investigated using flow cytometry. RESULTS Infiltration with CD8+ TILs was associated with pelvic lymph node metastasis. Abundant infiltration by CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD206+, and FOXP3+ TILs were statistically significant indicators of better progression-free and overall survival. Regarding subtypes of FOXP3+ TILs, non-Tregs (Fr-III) were found in all samples tested for this. CONCLUSIONS The abundance of various specific intratumoral TILs may be prognostic indicators in patients with advanced cervical cancer undergoing CCRT.

Abstract
Background Gastric cancer after Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication is a crucial clinical challenge today as HP eradication therapy is widely performed. Detecting gastric cancer after HP eradication tends to be difficult with normal white-light endoscopy. In the present study, we aimed to identify easily-evaluated endoscopic findings that indicate the presence of gastric cancer after HP eradication so that endoscopists can consider additional detailed examinations at the site. Methods We analyzed the endoscopic images of 43 patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer after HP eradication and 119 patients with an HP eradication history who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy for a medical checkup. Endoscopic findings were evaluated according to the Kyoto classification of gastritis (atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, enlarged folds, nodularity, and diffuse redness) and map-like redness. Results Patients with gastric cancer had significantly higher total Kyoto risk scores; more atrophy, intestinal metaplasia, and diffuse redness; and a significantly higher prevalence of map-like redness compared with those without gastric cancer, in the univariate analyses. We used logistic regression analysis with forward selection based on the likelihood ratio to develop a model using atrophy and diffuse redness. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that a score of A2 in the Kyoto classification of gastritis (open-type atrophic pattern in the Kimura–Takemoto classification) was an endoscopic marker for the presence of post-HP-eradication gastric cancer. Conclusions Endoscopic severe gastric mucosal atrophy is useful to screen patients for gastric cancer after HP eradication.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to assess the cortical-level sensory differences between natural teeth with a periodontal membrane and dental implants.
Material and Methods We used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to measure brain activity in the cerebral cortex of 12 patients who had both natural teeth and dental implants in the lower molar region. Painless vibratory tactile stimulation was performed on both the natural teeth and the dental implants.
Results Activation was seen in the somatosensory cortex during stimulation of both natural teeth and dental implants. A comparison of cortical activation showed no significant differences between natural teeth and dental implants.
Conclusions These results indicate the possible existence of sensory input to the cerebral cortex via dental implants as well as natural teeth, and thus suggest that may not only the periodontal membrane be involved in the signaling pathway. The data from this experiment may help us for understanding the neural mechanisms underlying natural teeth and dental implants. Key words:fNIRS, natural teeth, implants, brain activity, somatosensory cortex.

Abstract
The radical-scavenging reaction of fisetin, a natural antioxidant found in strawberries, is known to proceed via hydrogen transfer to produce a fisetin radical intermediate. Thus, introduction of an electron-donating group into the fisetin molecule is expected to stabilize the radical, leading to enhanced radical-scavenging activity. In this study, fisetin derivatives in which methyl substituents were introduced at the ortho positions relative to the catechol hydroxyl groups were synthesized and their radical scavenging activities were evaluated and compared with that of the parent fisetin molecule. Among the methyl derivatives, 5'-methyl fisetin, in which the inherent planar structure of fisetin was retained, exhibited the strongest radical scavenging activity. Introduction of methyl substituents may be effective for the enhancement of various biological activities of antioxidants, particularly radical-scavenging activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite the development of neuroimaging, identification of focal cortical dysplasia remains challenging. The purpose of this study was to show the longitudinal changes of MR imaging and FDG-PET in patients with West syndrome and subtle focal cortical dysplasia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Among 52 consecutive patients with West syndrome, 4 were diagnosed with subtle focal cortical dysplasia on 3T MR imaging. MR imaging and PET findings were evaluated longitudinally at onset and at 12 and 24 months of age. RESULTS At the onset of West syndrome, MR imaging demonstrated focal signal abnormalities of the subcortical white matter in 2 patients. In the other 2 patients, focal subcortical high-intensity signals became visible on follow-up T2WI as myelination progressed. PET at onset showed focal cortical hypometabolism in 3 patients, with 1 of these patients also having focal hypermetabolism and 1 having normal findings. On PET at 24 months, hypometabolism persisted in 2 patients and disappeared in 1, and hypermetabolism disappeared in 1. In 1 patient with normal MR imaging and PET findings at onset, focal hyperintensity and hypometabolism first appeared at 24 months of age. The findings on MR imaging and PET in these patients evolved differently with brain maturation and the clinical course. CONCLUSIONS Subtle focal cortical dysplasia can be undetectable on MR imaging at the onset of West syndrome and is not always accompanied by hypometabolism or hypermetabolism on PET. Longitudinal MR imaging and PET studies may be useful for detecting such lesions. Even in West syndrome with a congenital structural abnormality, PET findings evolve differently with brain maturation and the clinical condition.

Abstract
Amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition and oxidative stress observed in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) are important targets for therapeutic intervention. In this study, we conjugated the antioxidants caffeic acid (CA) and dihydrocaffeic acid (DHCA) to Aβ1-42 C-terminal motifs (Aβx-42: x=38, 40) to synthesize CA-Aβx-42 and DHCA-Aβx-42, respectively. Among the compounds, CA-Aβ38-42 exhibited potent inhibitory activity against Aβ1-42 aggregation and scavenged Aβ1-42-induced intracellular oxidative stress. Moreover, CA-Aβ38-42 significantly protected human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells against Aβ1-42-induced cytotoxicity, with an IC50 of 4μM. These results suggest that CA-Aβ38-42 might be a potential lead for the treatment of AD.

Abstract
Two hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) observed in the brains of patients with the disease include oxidative injury and deposition of protein aggregates comprised of amyloid-β (Aβ) variants. To inhibit these toxic processes, we synthesized antioxidant-conjugated peptides comprised of Trolox and various C-terminal motifs of Aβ variants, TxAβx-n (x=34, 36, 38, 40; n=40, 42, 43). Most of these compounds were found to exhibit anti-aggregation activities. Among them, TxAβ36-42 significantly inhibited Aβ1-42 aggregation, showed potent antioxidant activity, and protected SH-SY5Y cells from Aβ1-42-induced cytotoxicity. Thus, this method represents a promising strategy for developing multifunctional AD therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery (NCS) has not been fully evaluated clinically. Currently, the main regimen of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) used in NCS includes cisplatin. The antitumor effects of NAC reduce lymph node metastasis and the tumor diameter in patients prior to surgery, and this can reduce the number of high risk patients who require postoperative radiation therapy. Many randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have examined the long-term prognosis of NCS compared to primary surgery, but the utility of NCS remains uncertain. The advent of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) has markedly improved the outcome of radiotherapy (RT), and CCRT is now used as a standard method in many cases of advanced bulky cervical cancer. NCS gives a better treatment outcome than radiation therapy alone, but it is important to verify that NCS gives a similar or better outcome compared to CCRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) has made it possible to resect large specimens in an en bloc fashion. However, this can lead to postoperative adverse events, such as perforation and bleeding. Prevention of adverse events after colorectal ESD is therefore an important goal. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the utility of a shielding method using polyglycolic acid (PGA) sheets and fibrin glue to manage ulcers after colorectal ESD. DESIGN Prospective, single-arm, pilot study. SETTING Single tertiary care center for colorectal ESD in Japan. PATIENTS Ten patients with 10 colorectal tumors scheduled for ESD were enrolled between September and November 2012. INTERVENTIONS Just after ESD, we placed PGA sheets on the mucosal defect with biopsy forceps. After the whole defect was covered, we sprayed fibrin glue through a special double-lumen spraying tube. We sprayed fibrinogen through 1 lumen and then thrombin through the other lumen. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Success rate, mean procedure time, and adverse events associated with the covering technique and the persistence of PGA sheets at follow-up colonoscopy. RESULTS All 10 tumors were successfully resected. Mean tumor size was 39.7 ± 15.2 mm. All mucosal defects were successfully covered with PGA sheets. Mean procedure time was 18.7 ± 15.9 minutes. No procedure-related adverse events occurred. Upon colonoscopy 9 to 12 days after ESD, the PGA sheets were still fixed on the whole defect in 8 patients. LIMITATIONS Small sample size. CONCLUSIONS Our technique, which uses PGA sheets and fibrin glue, appears to shield mucosal defects, and it may be effective in reducing postoperative adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies of human papillomavirus (HPV)16/18 genome methylation have concluded that methylation status of the L1 gene might act as a biomarker for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). OBJECTIVES We investigated the correlation between methylation status in the L1 gene and the long control region (LCR) of HPV52/58 and CIN. STUDY DESIGN Exfoliated cervical cells were taken from 54 HPV52-positive and 41 HPV58-positive women. The HPV genome was examined using bisulfite modification, polymerase chain reaction amplification, and sequencing. RESULTS The CpGs were unmethylated or hypomethylated in the HPV52/58 LCR. In contrast, the methylation status of the HPV52 L1 gene was correlated with the severity of cervical neoplasia, with average percentages of 15%, 34%, and 52% for cervicitis/CIN1, CIN2, and CIN3, respectively (P<0.05). Methylation status of the HPV52 L1 gene was also correlated with the prognosis of CIN1/2, with median percentages of 15% and 35% for regression and persistence/progression, respectively (P<0.05). The methylation status of the HPV58 L1 gene was correlated with the severity of cervical neoplasia, with average percentages of 12%, 38%, and 61% for cervicitis/CIN1, CIN2, and CIN3, respectively (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The increased methylation at the CpG sites in the HPV52/58 L1 gene was correlated with the severity of cervical neoplasia, similar to HPV16/18 in previous studies. These data suggest that HPV methylation status of the L1 gene is a candidate biomarker of CIN for detecting CIN2 and CIN3.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of neurodegenerative dementia among elderly patients. A biomarker for the disease could make diagnosis easier and more accurate, and accelerate drug discovery. In this study, NMR-based metabolomics analysis in conjunction with multivariate statistics was applied to examine changes in urinary metabolites in transgenic AD mice expressing mutant tau and β-amyloid precursor protein. These mice showed significant changes in urinary metabolites throughout the progress of the disease. Levels of 3-hydroxykynurenine, homogentisate and allantoin were significantly higher compared to control mice in 4 months (prior to onset of AD symptoms) and reverted to control values by 10 months of age (early/middle stage of AD), which highlights the relevance of oxidative stress to this neurodegenerative disorder even prior the onset of dementia. The level of these changed metabolites at very early period may provide an indication of disease risk at asymptomatic stage.

Abstract
To investigate the role of p53 abnormalities in predicting the survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and immunohistochemical analyses were performed on 74 and 67 tumor samples, respectively, from patients with pathological stage I-IIIa NSCLC. An abnormally migrating SSCP band was observed in 21 of 74 (28%) tumor specimens. DNA sequence analysis revealed 23 intragenic mutations including 3 small deletions and 20 point mutations. Immunohistochemical analysis using the DO-7 monoclonal antibody showed abnormal expression of p53 in 27 of 67 (40%) patients. The concordance rate between immunohistochemical and PCRSSCP analyses was 73% (49/67) in this study. Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that abnormal expression of p53 may be associated with prolonged survival (p=0.0997 and 0.0099, respectively). In contrast, no relationship was observed between p53 mutation and overall survival (0.6968). These results suggest that p53 status and the survival outcome changes between immunohistochemical and mutational analyses in stage I-IIIa NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are no clear clinical criteria for the management of gastric lesions diagnosed as adenomas (Vienna classification category 3) by pre-treatment biopsy. In the present study, we examined the feasibility of magnifying endoscopy with narrow-band imaging (ME-NBI) in discriminating early gastric cancers (Vienna classification category 4 or 5) from adenomas in lesions diagnosed as adenomas by pre-treatment biopsy. METHODS This was a single-center cross-sectional retrospective study at a tertiary referral center. One hundred thirty-seven consecutive cases of gastric lesions diagnosed as adenomas in pre-treatment forceps biopsy were examined with conventional non-magnifying endoscopy under white light, non-magnifying chromoendoscopy, and ME-NBI. We investigated the association between the final pathological diagnoses (carcinoma or adenoma) and the following factors: lesion size (mm), color (red or white), macroscopic type (depressed or others), presence of ulceration, and positive ME-NBI finding. The presence of an irregular microvascular pattern or an irregular microsurface pattern with a demarcation line between the lesion and the surrounding area was regarded as a positive ME-NBI finding. RESULTS Lesion size was significantly larger in carcinomas than adenomas (P = 0.005). Depressed lesion (P = 0.011), red color (P < 0.001), and positive ME-NBI finding (P < 0.001) were significant predictive factors for carcinoma. Multivariate logistic regression confirmed that red color (odds ratio [OR] 3.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26-7.34, P = 0.14) and a positive ME-NBI finding (OR 13.68, 95% CI 5.69-32.88, P < 0.001) were independent predictive factors for carcinomas. A positive ME-NBI finding was the strongest predictive factor. CONCLUSIONS ME-NBI is useful in planning the management of lesions diagnosed as adenomas by pre-treatment forceps biopsy.

Abstract
A typical method for the measurement of glutaraldehyde (GLA) employs 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) to form GLA-DNPhydrazone derivatives. However, this method is subject to analytical errors because GLA-DNPhydrazone is a quaternary bis-derivative and forms three geometric isomers (E-E, E-Z and Z-Z) as a result of the two C[double bond, length as m-dash]N double bonds. To overcome this issue, a method for transforming the C[double bond, length as m-dash]N double bond into a C-N single bond, using reductive amination of DNPhydrazone derivatives, has been applied. The amination reaction of GLA-DNPhydrazones with 2-picoline borane is accelerated with catalytic amounts of acid and is completed within 10 minutes in the presence of 100 mmol L(-1) phosphoric acid. Reduction of GLA-DNPhydrazone by 2-picoline borane is unique and results in the formation of N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)-1-piperidinamine (DNPPA). NMR and LC-APCI-MS data confirmed the product identification. DNPPA is very stable and did not change when stored for at least four weeks at room temperature. DNPPA has excellent solubility of 14.6 g L(-1) at 20 °C in acetonitrile. The absorption maximum wavelength and the molar absorptivity of DNPPA were 351 nm and 4.2 × 10(4) L mol(-1) cm(-1) respectively. Complete separation between the reduced forms of C1-C10 aldehyde DNPhydrazones, including DNPPA, can be achieved by operating the reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatograph at 351 nm in gradient mode using a C18 amide column. The reductive amination method for GLA overcomes analytical errors caused by E-E, E-Z and Z-Z geometrical isomers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The immunochemical faecal occult blood test (IFOBT) is widely performed for colorectal cancer screening, but the usefulness of IFOBT in the detection of disorders of the small intestine is unknown. The objective of this study was to investigate what proportion of IFOBT-positive subjects with negative colonoscopy and oesophagogastroduodenoscopy has pathologies of the small intestine detected by capsule endoscopy (CE). METHODS Between October 2008 and June 2010, asymptomatic IFOBT-positive patients with negative total colonoscopy and oesophagogastroduodenoscopy underwent CE. CE findings were classified into three categories: P0 (no abnormalities, or findings without potential for bleeding), P1 (findings with uncertain potential for bleeding), P2 and (findings with high potential for bleeding). RESULTS Fifty-three patients (37 males, 16 females; 52.1 ± 13.0 years) were included. There were no cases with P2, 19 cases with P1, and 34 cases with P0 (there were no abnormalities in 25 of 34 cases). As a result, lesions in the small intestine were detected in 28 cases. Additional examination was considered necessary for five patients after CE, but no abnormality was detected, and therapeutic intervention was not undertaken in any case. Caecal completion rate was 92.5%. CONCLUSIONS No significant pathologies of the small intestine were detected in asymptomatic IFOBT-positive cases with negative colonoscopy and oesophagogastroduodenoscopy. CE is of limited use in asymptomatic patients with positive IFOBT.

Abstract
The widely used analgesic-antipyretic drug acetaminophen (APAP) is known to cause serious liver necrosis at high doses in man and experimental animals. For studies of toxic processes, 1H NMR spectroscopy of biofluids allows monitoring of endogenous metabolite profiles that alter characteristically in response to changes in physiological status. Herein, a 1H NMR metabolomics approach was applied to the investigation of APAP toxicity in rats and the effect of phenobarbital (PB) on APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. Metabolite differences due to hepatotoxicity were observed in 1H NMR spectra of serum and urine, and enhanced APAP hepatotoxicity by pretreatment with PB was clearly shown by a principal components analysis of the spectral data. NMR spectra of APAP-dosed rat urine provided profiles of APAP-related compounds together with endogenous metabolites. By comparison of endogenous and APAP-related metabolite spectra with those from rats pretreated with PB, it was possible to show the importance of oxidative metabolism of APAP to N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone, an essential step in APAP hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
The taste of black tea differs according to the different areas in which the tea is grown, even for the same species of tea. A combination of (1)H NMR spectroscopy and partial least-squares discriminate analysis (PLS-DA) was used to assess the quality differences of tea leaves from four cultivation areas with different elevations, RAN > 1800 m, UDA = 1200 m, MEDA = 600 m, and YATA < 300 m, in Sri Lanka. As a result of a statistical analysis, PLS-DA showed a separation between high- and low-quality black teas derived from the four different tea cultivation areas. RAN from the highest elevation showed characteristic trends in the levels of theaflavin and theaflavin 3,3'-digallate that were found only in RAN, and the levels of theanine and caffeine were higher, and the levels of thearubigins, especially thearubigin 3,3'-digallate, were lower in RAN than in UDA, MEDA, and YATA. The structures of these components were determined by 1D and 2D NMR analyses. These results demonstrate that this method can be used to evaluate black tea quality according to the chemical composition or metabolites, which are characteristic of the tea leaves cultivated in four regions with different elevations in Sri Lanka.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Although the colposcopic features of cervical glandular disease and cervical adenocarcinoma are not widely well known, unique microvascular patterns are reportedly useful for identifying such diseases. The narrow band imaging (NBI) system used in endoscopy can be used to obtain high-contrast vascular images. Therefore, we examined the utility of NBI colposcopy and compared the results with those of conventional colposcopy. METHODS Twenty-one patients with adenocarcinoma in situ or early invasive adenocarcinomas were examined using digital NBI colposcopy, and the photo records were compared with those of conventional colposcopy. The histological examination and immunohistochemistry with anti-CD31 antibody confirmed the microvascular pattern. RESULTS Digital NBI colposcopy depicted the fine vascular texture on the surface of the cervix more clearly than conventional colposcopy. The vascular pattern was depicted in 86% (18/21) of glandular disease cases. The characteristic fine vascular patterns were critical for identifying cervical glandular diseases. CONCLUSIONS Digital NBI colposcopy was useful for identifying early cervical adenocarcinoma as well as adenocarcinoma in situ. This system yields cervical glandular disease-related colposcopic findings that may be useful for both clinical and educational purposes.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of insulin detemir as a basal insulin switching from neutral protamine Hagedorn insulin (NPH) and insulin glargine in patients with diabetes on an intensive insulin therapy regimen. METHODS This 6-month multicentre, prospective, treat-to-target [glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA(1c) ) less than 6.5%] trial included 92 people with diabetes (61 type 1, 29 type 2 and two unknown diabetes types). Detemir was administered first with fixed dose and injection times and then adapted to optimal dose after 3 months. RESULTS Mean HbA(1c) (%) of all the subjects at months 4 to 6 of the study was improved compared with month 0 (7.34 ± 0.87, 7.28 ± 0.88, 7.25 ± 0.93 vs. 7.55 ± 1.18; p < 0.05 paired t-test). However, significant improvement was seen only among the patients who had previously used NPH as a basal insulin. Twice-daily injection of basal insulin increased among people in the type 1 previously injected insulin glargine. Total insulin dose increased in the type 1 glargine group. The mean body weight change in the highest quartile body mass index (BMI) group was from 70.7 to 69.3 kg over the 6 months. Quality of life (QoL) relating to the patients' glycaemic control tended to improve without a change in frequency of hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that insulin detemir has a greater effect on glycaemic control in subjects with poor glycaemic control using NPH; can reduce or maintain body weight in obese patients; and obtains perceptive stability for patients with unstable glycaemic control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several articles have reported the usefulness of large-balloon dilation after endoscopic sphincterotomy in removing bile duct stones. Its histological effect on the duodenal papilla and the lower bile duct, however, is not well established. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the histological consequence of large-balloon dilation. DESIGN Animal experiment. SETTING A referral center. MATERIALS AND INTERVENTIONS After the evaluation of normal anatomy of the major duodenal papilla and the lower bile duct in resected specimens from pigs, large-balloon dilation (12-20 mm) after small sphincterotomy was performed, and serial tissue sections were assessed for morphological changes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Macroscopic and microscopic findings of the duodenal papilla and the lower bile duct after large balloon dilation, with special interest in ductal wall disruption and perforation. RESULTS The porcine specimens were comparable in size to humans. Balloons with diameters 12 mm or larger caused disruption of the ductal walls, and those 15 mm or larger resulted in perforation of the surrounding adipose tissue. The frequency of disruption and perforation increased in proportion to the balloon diameters. LIMITATIONS Other sequelae including hemorrhage, pancreatitis, acute inflammatory changes, and late fibrosis could not be investigated in our ex vivo porcine model. CONCLUSIONS Dilation with large balloons can tear the bile duct wall and cause potential impairment of sphincter function and overdilation of small extrahepatic bile ducts.

Abstract
Now in Japan, the use of capsule endoscopy for small bowel is approved only for the diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding. Since the small bowel is anatomically difficult to approach, and small bowel carcinomas are often asymptomatic at early stages, they were usually diagnosed only after symptoms such as intestinal stenosis have developed. The advent of capsule endoscopy, however, enabled us to diagnose small bowel carcinoma at an early stage. However, we must be careful of the risk of capsule retention. The combination of capsule endoscopy, double balloon endoscopy, and traditional examination modalities including radiography or computed tomography will make it possible to diagnose and treat small bowel carcinoma at an early stage, and further progress is expected in this field.

Abstract
PURPOSE Human multicentric osteosarcoma (HMOS) is a rare, aggressive variant of osteosarcoma, and its etiology is not clear. We used newly established HMOS cells, which were derived from primary (HMOS-A) and secondary (HMOS-P) lesions, respectively, to perform a basic study analyzing the cellular biology and gene expression of HMOS. METHODS We performed a cell growth assay, an invasion assay, DNA microarray analysis, quantitative real-time RT-PCR (Qrt-PCR), and a telomerase assay and compared the results between HMOS-A, HMOS-P, and human osteosarcoma (HOS) cell lines (MNNG-HOS and Saos-2). RESULTS The cell biological analysis revealed that HMOS-A and HMOS-P had similar characteristics to Saos-2, and the invasion assay showed that they had similar characteristics to MNNG-HOS. The DNA microarray study showed that the gene expression profiles of HMOS-A and HMOS-P were similar to that of MNNG-HOS, but the overexpression of MMP-2, MMP-9, and MT1-MMP was observed in HMOS-A and HMOS-P, which was correlated with the invasiveness of the extracellular matrix, and collagen type-4 (COL-4) and VEGF were also detected. HMOS-A and HMOS-P showed low telomerase activity similar to Saos-2, which are known to be telomerase negative, but a similar telomere length and telomerase protein to MNNG-HOS. CONCLUSIONS HMOS-A and HMOS-P demonstrated strong invasive ability, and their gene expression profiles correlated with the invasiveness of the extracellular matrix. Their telomerase activity was low, but they did not shown the typical features of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). HMOS-A and HMOS-P are useful models for further study of various biological aspects and therapeutic manipulation of HMOS.

Abstract
A new method that combines (1)H-NMR and principal component analysis (PCA) was employed to obtain the quality evaluation of biopharmaceuticals, with regard to their quality, consistency, and differences in protein modification patterns. To assess the feasibility of the method, three (1)H-NMR spectra of oxytocin (OXT) were collected every 7 d (at Day 0, 7 and 14), and time-dependent changes in the spectra were found by PCA of the (1)H-NMR signals from 0.5-9.0 ppm, excluding the region around the water signal (4.6-5.0 ppm). Although the three OXT spectra seemed similar by simple visual inspection, time-dependent differences among the three spectra were clearly distinguished by a PCA scores plot. Peak changes indicating both OXT decomposition and the emergence of new OXT decomposition products within the timeframe of the experiment were also observed by a PCA loading plot. The results demonstrate that this method can evaluate the consistency of biopharmaceutical quality.

Abstract
Complete NMR analysis of oxytocin (OXT) in phosphate buffer was elucidated by one-dimensional (1D)- and two-dimensional (2D)-NMR techniques, which involve the assignment of peptide amide NH protons and carbamoyl NH(2) protons. The (1)H-(15)N correlation of seven amide NH protons and three carbamoyl NH(2) protons were also shown by HSQC NMR of OXT without (15)N enrichment.
