Abstract
When animals are infected with helminthic parasites, resistant hosts mount type II helper T (Th2) immune responses to expel worms. Recent studies have clearly shown that epithelial cell-derived cytokines contribute to the induction of Th2 immune responses. Here we demonstrate the role of endogenous thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) for protection against Strongyloides venezuelensis (S. venezuelensis) infection, utilizing TSLP receptor-deficient Crlf2-/- mice. The number of eggs per gram of feces (EPG) and worm burden were significantly higher in Crlf2-/- mice than in wild type (WT) mice. S. venezuelensis infection induced Tslp mRNA expression in the skin, lung, and intestine and also facilitated the accumulation of mast cells in the intestine in a TSLP-dependent manner. Furthermore, CD4+ T cells from S. venezuelensis-infected Crlf2-/- mice showed diminished capacity to produce Th2 cytokines in the early stage of infection. Finally, CD4+ cell-depleted Crlf2-/- mice still showed higher EPG counts and worm burden than CD4+ cell-depleted WT mice, indicating that TSLP contributes to protecting mice against S. venezuelensis infection in both CD4+ T cell-dependent and -independent manners.

Abstract
We present a case of primary systemic amyloidosis diagnosed by endoscopic sinus surgery. A 75-year-old woman had blurred vision in her left eye; computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed shadows of the bilateral paranasal sinuses. Endoscopic sinus surgery was performed, and amyloidosis was diagnosed by histopathology. She had previously been diagnosed with amyloidosis of the stomach, and therefore, she was diagnosed with primary systemic amyloidosis. A systemic workup for additional amyloid deposits revealed no evidence of other diseases. The patient remained under follow-up without further treatment, as no further amyloid deposition or progression of the lesions was seen. Amyloidosis is a rare condition characterized by the deposition of abnormal protein filaments in the extracellular tissue. Generally, systemic amyloidosis does not involve the head and neck region, and the presence of amyloid in the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa is more likely to be indicative of a localized process. However, in our patient, the lesions were located in both the sinonasal tract and the stomach, indicating systemic amyloidosis. To our knowledge, there have been no previous reports of systemic amyloidosis involving the sinonasal tract, and therefore, we consider this case to be extremely rare.

Abstract
Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are a critical innate source of type 2 cytokines in allergic inflammation. Although ILC2s are recognized as a critical cell population in the allergic inflammation, the regulatory mechanism(s) of ILC2s are less well understood. Here, we show that Regnase-1, an immune regulatory RNAse that degrades inflammatory mRNAs, negatively regulates ILC2 function and that IκB kinase (IKK) complex-mediated Regnase-1 degradation is essential for IL-33- and IL-25-induced ILC2 activation. ILC2s from Regnase-1AA/AA mice expressing a Regnase-1 S435A/S439A mutant resistant to IKK complex-mediated degradation accumulated Regnase-1 protein in response to IL-33 and IL-25. IL-33- and IL-25-stimulated Regnase-1AA/AA ILC2s showed reduced cell proliferation and type 2 cytokine (IL-5, IL-9, and IL-13) production and increased cell death. In addition, Il2ra and Il1rl1, but not Il5, Il9, or Il13, mRNAs were destabilized in IL-33-stimulated Regnase-1AA/AA ILC2s. In vivo, Regnase-1AA/AA mice showed attenuated acute type 2 pulmonary inflammation induced by the instillation of IL-33, IL-25, or papain. Furthermore, the expulsion of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis was significantly delayed in Regnase-1AA/AA mice. These results demonstrate that IKK complex-mediated Regnase-1 degradation is essential for ILC2-mediated type 2 responses both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, controlling Regnase-1 degradation is a potential therapeutic target for ILC2-contributed allergic disorders.

Abstract
The immune responses against helminths have been investigated individually, and it is well-established that infected hosts develop an immunological memory to resist reinfection by the same pathogen. In contrast, it is poorly understood how the host immune system responds to subsequent infection by unrelated parasites after elimination of the first infection. We previously reported that infection of mice with Strongyloides venezuelensis induces the accumulation of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) in the lung. Here, we demonstrated that S. venezuelensis-experienced (Sv-exp) mice became significantly resistant against infection by Nippostrongylus brasiliensis. N. brasiliensis infection induced enhanced accumulation of ILC2s and eosinophils with increased expressions of mRNA for Th2 cytokines in the lungs of Sv-exp mice. The resistance was dependent on ILC2s, and eosinophils but not on CD4+ T cells. Furthermore, pulmonary ILC2s in Sv-exp mice acquired a highly responsive “trained” phenotype; in response to N. brasiliensis infection, they rapidly increased and produced IL-5 and IL-13, which in turn induced the early accumulation of eosinophils in the lungs. IL-33 was required for the accumulation of ILC2s and the resistance of mice against N. brasiliensis infection but insufficient for the induction of trained ILC2s. In conclusion, animals infected with one type of lung-migratory nematodes acquire a specific-antigen-independent resistance to another type of lung-migrating nematodes, providing animals with the capacity to protect against sequential infections with various lung-migratory nematodes.

Abstract
A 15-year-old female was previously admitted to another hospital because of painless swelling of the lateral right nasal ala for 2 months. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an expansive enhancing lesion in close proximity to the anterior surface of the right maxillary sinus and lateral wall of the right nasal cavity. Tumor extirpation was performed via the supragingival transantral approach under general anesthesia. Histopathological study revealed a malignant triton tumor (MTT) arising from the nasal vestibule. The patient was referred to our department for consultation regarding additional treatment. Because the surgical margin was positive and MTT has high malignant potential, we recommended expansion re-surgical treatment following immediate free-flap reconstruction and postoperative radiotherapy, but family consent was not obtained. Tumor regrowth was noted 1 month after her first visit to our department. The patient and her family accepted radiotherapy instead of surgical treatment. Complete remission was achieved by radiotherapy alone. No local recurrence or distant metastasis was observed for 30 months after radiotherapy. The conventional mode of treatment for MTT is radical excision followed by high-dose radiotherapy. However, this case is remarkable because our patient experienced complete remission by simple radiotherapy.
