Abstract
BACKGROUND Osimertinib monotherapy is a common treatment for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, standard treatment strategies for acquired resistance to this drug have not been established. In addition, the clinical significance of first-generation (1G) or second-generation (2G) EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC and osimertinib resistance has not yet been fully evaluated. OBJECTIVE We aimed to conduct a prospective multicenter observational study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 1G and 2G EGFR-TKIs after the development of osimertinib resistance. METHODS Patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC who received 1G or 2G EGFR-TKIs after developing resistance to osimertinib monotherapy were prospectively assessed at eight institutions in Japan. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS A total of 29 patients with advanced or recurrent EGFR-mutant NSCLC were analyzed. The objective response and disease control rates were 6.9% (2/29) and 58.6% (17/29), respectively. The median PFS was 1.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3-5.3]. There was no significant difference in PFS between the 1G and 2G EGFR-TKI groups (3.7 versus 1.5 months, log-rank test p = 0.20). However, patients with normal cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA 21-1) and pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP) levels experienced longer PFS than those with elevated CYFRA 21-1 and/or ProGRP (5.5 versus 1.3 months, log-rank test p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Administration of 1G or 2G EGFR-TKIs after the development of osimertinib resistance has limited efficacy in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC. Moreover, normal CYFRA 21-1 and ProGRP levels could be promising indicators for 1G and 2G EGFR-TKI administration after osimertinib resistance development. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000044049.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor plus platinum-etoposide chemotherapy is used as a first-line treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), regardless of age. OBJECTIVE We examined the role of the Geriatric 8 (G8) screening tool for evaluating treatment outcomes in patients with ES-SCLC treated with PD-L1 inhibitor plus platinum-etoposide chemotherapy as first-line therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between September 2019 and October 2021, we prospectively evaluated patients with ES-SCLC treated with immunochemotherapy at ten institutions in Japan. The G8 score was assessed before treatment initiation. RESULTS We evaluated 44 patients with ES-SCLC. Patients with G8 score > 11 had longer overall survival (OS) than those with G8 score ≤ 11 (not reached versus 8.3 months; log-rank test, p = 0.005). In univariate and multivariate analyses, G8 score > 11 [hazard ratio (HR) 0.34; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.15-0.75; p = 0.008 and HR 0.34; 95% CI 0.14-0.82; p = 0.02, respectively) and performance status (PS) of 2 (HR 5.42; 95% CI 2.08-14.2; p < 0.001 and HR 6.94; 95% CI 2.25-21.4; p < 0.001, respectively) were independent prognostic factors for OS. Among patients with good PS (0 or 1), the OS in patients with G8 score > 11 was significantly longer than that in patients with G8 score ≤ 11 (not reached versus 12.3 months; log-rank test, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS G8 score evaluation before treatment initiation was useful as a prognostic factor for ES-SCLC patients who received PD-L1 inhibitors and platinum-etoposide chemotherapy, even with good PS.

Abstract
Introduction To date, the efficacy and safety of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor plus platinum-etoposide chemotherapy for patients with extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC), with real-world evidence, stratified on the basis of age and performance status (PS), have not been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-L1 inhibitor plus platinum-etoposide chemotherapy in patients with ES-SCLC. Methods This multicenter prospective study evaluated patients with ES-SCLC who received PD-L1 inhibitor plus platinum-etoposide chemotherapy between September 2019 and October 2021. Results A total of 45 patients with ES-SCLC received the aforementioned treatment, including 18 elderly (≥75 y old) patients and six patients with a PS of 2. Multivariate analysis indicated that a PS of 2 was a significant independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival and overall survival (p = 0.008 and p = 0.001, respectively). Of patients with PS of 2 at the initial phase, those that achieved PS improvement during treatment had significantly longer progression-free survival and overall survival than those who did not (p = 0.02 and p = 0.02, respectively). The incidence of adverse events accompanied with treatment discontinuation was significantly higher in the elderly patients than in the non-elderly patients (p = 0.03). Conclusions This real-world prospective study found that PD-L1 inhibitor plus platinum-etoposide chemotherapy had limited efficacy in patients with ES-SCLC with a PS of 2, except for cases with improvement of PS during treatment. Owing to the emergence of adverse events and treatment discontinuation, this treatment should be administered with caution in elderly patients with ES-SCLC.

Abstract
The differential cross sections of the Σ^{-}p→Λn reaction were measured accurately for the Σ^{-} momentum (p_{Σ}) ranging from 470 to 650 MeV/c at the J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility. Precise angular information about the Σ^{-}p→Λn reaction was obtained for the first time by detecting approximately 100 reaction events at each angular step of Δcosθ=0.1. The obtained differential cross sections show a slightly forward-peaking structure in the measured momentum regions. The cross sections integrated for -0.7≤cosθ≤1.0 were obtained as 22.5±0.68 [statistical error(stat.)] ±0.65 [systematic error(syst.)] mb and 15.8±0.83(stat)±0.52(syst) mb for 470<p_{Σ}(MeV/c)<550 and 550<p_{Σ}(MeV/c)<650, respectively. These results show a drastic improvement compared with past measurements of the hyperon-proton scattering experiments. They will play essential roles in updating the theoretical models of the baryon-baryon interactions.

Abstract
A new hyperon-proton scattering experiment, dubbed J-PARC E40, was performed to measure differential cross sections of the Σ+p, Σ−p elastic scatterings and the Σ−p → Λn scattering by identifying a lot of Σ particles in the momentum ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 GeV/c produced by the π±p → K+Σ± reactions. We successfully measured the differential cross sections of these three channels with a drastically improved accuracy with a fine angular step. These new data will become important experimental constraints to improve the theories of the two-body baryon-baryon interactions. Following this success, we proposed a new experiment to measure the differential cross sections and spin observables by using a highly polarized Λ beam for providing quantitative information on the ΛN interaction. The results of three Σp channels and future prospects of the Λp scattering experiment are described.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer metastasis to the retroperitoneum, especially solitary metastasis allowing curative resection, is rare. We report a case of complete resection of retroperitoneal metachronous solitary metastasis from caecal cancer without distant metastasis. An 80-year-old woman with caecal cancer underwent laparoscopic ileocaecal resection with regional lymph node dissection. According to the eighth edition of the TNM classification, the pathological diagnosis was stage IIA (T3N0M0). Six months following the surgery, computed tomography revealed a solitary mass of 2cm diameter, dorsal to the right kidney. A second procedure for the removal of the tumour was performed. The lesion was pathologically diagnosed as a metachronous solitary retroperitoneal metastasis from caecal cancer. The patient is surviving and free from recurrence 17 months following the second procedure.

Abstract
Objective The objective of this study was to investigate possible differences in
treatment responses between two categories for the onset of lupus
nephritis. Methods We performed a multicentre, retrospective cohort study of class III–V lupus
nephritis patients diagnosed between 1997 and 2014. The renal responses to
initial induction therapy were compared between patients who developed lupus
nephritis within one year from diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus
(early (E-) LN) and the remainder (delayed (D-) LN) using the Kaplan–Meier
method. We determined the predictors of renal response as well as renal
flares and long-term renal outcomes using multivariate Cox regression
analyses. Results A total of 107 E-LN and 70 D-LN patients were followed up for a median of
10.2 years. Log-rank tests showed a lower cumulative incidence of complete
response in D-LN compared with E-LN patients. Multivariate analysis
identified D-LN (hazard ratio (HR) 0.48, 95% confidence interval (CI)
0.33–0.70), nephrotic syndrome at baseline, and a chronicity index greater
than 2 as negative predictors of complete response. D-LN patients were more
likely to experience renal flares. D-LN (HR 2.54, 95% CI 1.10–5.83) and
decreased renal function were significant predictors of chronic kidney
disease at baseline. Conclusion D-LN was a predictor of poorer treatment outcomes, in addition to renal
histology and severity of nephritis at lupus nephritis onset.

Abstract
This work aims to study the fast-neutron production and moderation for the development of a compact accelerator-based multi-port Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (AB-mBNCT) system. An initial energy distribution and the efficiency of a test moderator assembly (TMA) for fast neutrons from a tungsten (W) target bombarded with a 53 MeV proton beam were measured using organic scintillators. The experimental results were reproduced with reasonable accuracy by simulations using the PHITS code. This paper will discuss about the experimental outcome and the related benchmark calculations by PHITS code.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association between an increased supraventricular ectopic beat (SVEB) and subclinical cerebrovascular disease remains unclear. Given the emerging concept that an increased SVEB is a marker of atrial cardiomyopathy or atherosclerosis burden, we sought to determine whether excessive supraventricular ectopic activity (ESVEA) is associated with a higher burden of subclinical cerebrovascular disease in the middle-aged to older cohort with neither apparent stroke nor atrial fibrillation. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional population-based study of 462 men (mean age, 68.1 years) who underwent 24-h Holter electrocardiography and brain magnetic resonance imaging. ESVEA was defined as the presence of >10 SVEBs/h. Subclinical cerebrovascular diseases were defined as silent brain infarct (SBI), white matter hyperintensity (WMH) and intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). The association of ESVEA with the presence of subclinical cerebrovascular diseases was adjusted for potential confounding covariates. RESULTS A total of 88 (19.0%) participants had ESVEA and 81 (17.5%), 91 (19.7%) and 109 (23.6%) had SBI, WMH and ICAS, respectively. In multivariable-adjusted Poisson regression with robust error variance, ESVEA was associated with the presence of WMH (relative risk, 1.58; 95% confidence interval, 1.06-2.36) and ICAS (relative risk, 1.49; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-2.18), but not with that of SBI (relative risk, 1.32; 95% confidence interval, 0.86-2.01). These associations were consistent when the graded distributions of subclinical cerebrovascular diseases were applied as outcomes in ordinal logistic regression. CONCLUSIONS The ESVEA was independently associated with higher burdens of WMH and ICAS. This suggests that increased SVEBs might improve risk stratification of individuals at high risk of subclinical cerebrovascular disease and consequently apparent ischaemic stroke.

Abstract
Recent immunosuppressive treatments for lupus nephritis have improved renal survival rate, however, there still exists lupus nephritis refractory to these treatments. Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) are known not only to decrease blood pressure but also to have an independent renoprotecting effect by interrupting renin-angiotensin system. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether ARBs have an additive effect on refractory lupus nephritis. Enrolled in this trial were twelve patients with lupus nephritis who were diagnosed by renal biopsy and remained proteinuria despite corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressive treatments. ARB, losartan or candesartan, was administered for six months. Various clinical parameters were compared before and after ARB administration. Proteinuria decreased after ARB treatment in 83% of the patients and the median amount of proteinuria significantly decreased from 2530 mg/gCr to 459 mg/gCr (P = 0.03). In addition, serum albumin and cholesterol levels were significantly improved. Systolic blood pressure significantly decreased, but none had symptoms of hypotension. The antiproteinuric effect of ARB did not correlate with the reduction of blood pressure. Interestingly, higher total complement activity levels before ARB treatment were associated with a greater reduction of proteinuria. The addition of ARB would be a safe and effective treatment for lupus nephritis with persistent proteinuria despite corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressive treatments.

Abstract
Twelve high schools in Japan (of which six are in Fukushima Prefecture), four in France, eight in Poland and two in Belarus cooperated in the measurement and comparison of individual external doses in 2014. In total 216 high-school students and teachers participated in the study. Each participant wore an electronic personal dosimeter 'D-shuttle' for two weeks, and kept a journal of his/her whereabouts and activities. The distributions of annual external doses estimated for each region overlap with each other, demonstrating that the personal external individual doses in locations where residence is currently allowed in Fukushima Prefecture and in Belarus are well within the range of estimated annual doses due to the terrestrial background radiation level of other regions/countries.

Abstract
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related neuropathic pain is a debilitating chronic condition that is severe and unrelenting. Despite the extensive research, the exact neuropathological mechanisms remain unknown, which hinders our ability to develop effective treatments. Loss of GABAergic tone may play an important role in the neuropathic pain state. Glutamic acid decarboxylase 67 (GAD67) is one of isoforms that catalyze GABA synthesis. Here, we used recombinant herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) vectors that encode gad1 gene to evaluate the therapeutic potential of GAD67 in peripheral HIV gp120-induced neuropathic pain in rats. We found that 1) subcutaneous inoculation of the HSV vectors expressing GAD67 attenuated mechanical allodynia in the model of HIV gp120-induced neuropathic pain, 2) the anti-allodynic effect of GAD67 was reduced by GABA-A and-B receptors antagonists, 3) HSV vectors expressing GAD67 reversed the lowered GABA-IR expression, and 4) the HSV vectors expressing GAD67 suppressed the upregulated mitochondrial superoxide and Wnt5a in the spinal dorsal horn. Taken together, our studies support the concept that recovering GABAergic tone by the HSV vectors may reverse HIV-associated neuropathic pain through suppressing mitochondrial superoxide and Wnt5a. Our studies provide validation of HSV-mediated GAD67 gene therapy in the treatment of HIV-related neuropathic pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Monitoring cell-mediated immunity (CMI) can be used to estimate the risk of viral infections in kidney transplant recipients. The Immuknow (IMK) assay measures CD4(+) T-cell adenosine triphosphate activity, assesses patient CMI status, and assists clinicians in determining the risk of viral infection. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 224 IMK values in 39 kidney transplant recipients at our institution from April 2012 to January 2013. We analyzed the relationship between IMK value and viral infection during the early and late post-transplantation periods. Multiple regression analyses were performed, to determine which factors impacted the results of the IMK assay. RESULTS Eight patients developed viral infections, including BK virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, and shingles. Five infections occurred in the early post-transplantation period (<50 d) and 3 in the late period (>120 d). The IMK levels in patients who developed an infection in the early period were within normal limits; however, those in the late period were significantly lower than 200 ng/mL (421.0 ± 062.6 for early vs 153.7 ± 72.7 for late; P = .02). Our multiple regression analyses indicated that peripheral white blood cell and neutrophil counts affected IMK values (P = .03 and P = .02, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The IMK assay is a useful test for identifying patients at risk for post-transplantation viral infections in the late transplant period.

Abstract
PURPOSE Interleukin-32 (IL-32) is an inflammatory cytokine that is associated with the pathogenesis of several connective tissue diseases. We measured serum IL-32γ concentrations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. METHODS Serum samples were obtained from SLE patients (n = 51), and healthy controls (n = 15). Serum IL-32 concentrations were measured using ELISA. Clinical information was obtained from medical records. RESULTS Serum IL-32γ was detectable in three cases of SLE patients, whereas it was not detected in any healthy controls. Case 1: a 44-year-old female with lupus nephritis (LN) (Class II) and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Serum IL-32γ was 5.1 pg/ml. Case 2: a 30-year-old female with a history of diffuse proliferative LN (Class IV G (A/C)) and pulmonary hemorrhage. Serum IL-32γ was 8.9 pg/ml. Case 3: a 45-year-old female with chronic LN. Serum IL-32γ was 9.1 pg/ml. All three cases of IL-32γ-detectable patients had histories of LN and one had an active disease. In the context of LN, serum IL-32γ was detectable in 18.8% (three of 16) of SLE patients with histories of LN. CONCLUSION We suppose that IL-32γ could contribute to the pathogenesis of renal diseases in some LN patients.

Abstract
Intraoperative histopathological investigation plays an important role during surgery. Since the pathologist performs a diagnosis with a limited level of specimen, it may sometimes be difficult to reach a correct diagnosis. To improve the accuracy of the diagnosis, quantitative data from the whole specimen are helpful. It said that the detection capability for DNA aneuploidy (aneuploidy) is low for solid cancer compared with hematopoietic organ cancer. A new method that includes fresh tissue is introduced, the histogram from cancer tissue (cancer) and normal tissue (normal) is compared, new classification criteria are introduced, the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) pattern (FFT pattern) obtained from FFT on the histogram is analyzed, and the area under the FFT pattern of the histogram (AUC) is compared. This method, named the "FFT-AUC method", which includes comparisons of AUC and the FFT pattern, shows good results.

Abstract
Flow cytometry is well-known cell analysis method and useful to gain quantitative information from cells in blood, however, it is not widely used for solid tissues in clinical settings. This is partly because it takes a long time to prepare samples and the operation can be complicated. To resolve these problems, we developed a new automatic cell isolation system which consists of cell isolation unit and staining reagent kit specialized for flow cytometry. With this new system, cell isolation can be done more rapidly and easily. By using this method, we could determine optimum condition to disintegrate porcine colon tissue and stain cells stably in 6 minutes. This result indicates that our method can provide analysis data within 10 minutes. We also evaluated our method in colorectal cancer patients, and the result was promising. All the data suggests that this method can support and facilitate rapid diagnosis.

Abstract
We examined the intrinsic signals in response to grating stimuli in order to determine whether the light-evoked intrinsic signals of the retina are due to changes in the photoreceptor activities induced by the image projected on to the retina or are due to neural activities of the inner retina. The retinas of the left eye of 12 cats under general anesthesia were examined by a functional imaging fundus camera. Near infrared light was used to monitor the reflectance changes (RCs) of the retina. Vertical grating were used to stimulate the retina at 4 Hz. The spatial frequencies of the gratings were 0.05, 0.11, 0.22, 0.43, 0.86, 1.73, and 3.46 cycles/degree (cpd). Ten images were averaged and used to analyze the RCs to obtain the peak value (PV) of a two dimensional fast Fourier transfer of the RCs. The wavefront aberrations (WA) were measured with a compact wavefront aberrometer and the spatial modulation transfer function (MTF) of the eye was calculated. The retinal reflectance image had a grating pattern. The PV of the spatial sensitivity curve was highest at low spatial frequencies (0.05 and 0.11 cpd), and the sensitivity decreased steeply with an increase in the spatial frequency. RCs were not detectable at 3.46 cpd. The MTF decreased gradually with increases in the spatial frequencies and was 0.68 at 3.46 cpd. The reflectance pattern of the retinal intrinsic signal elicited by grating stimuli of different spatial frequencies was different from that of the MTF. This suggests that the intrinsic signal represents not only the response of the photoreceptors but also other neuronal or vascular changes in the retina.

Abstract
An experiment with a newly developed high-resolution kaon spectrometer and a scattered electron spectrometer with a novel configuration was performed in Hall C at Jefferson Lab. The ground state of a neutron-rich hypernucleus, (Λ)(7)He, was observed for the first time with the (e, e'K+) reaction with an energy resolution of ~0.6 MeV. This resolution is the best reported to date for hypernuclear reaction spectroscopy. The (Λ)(7)He binding energy supplies the last missing information of the A = 7, T = 1 hypernuclear isotriplet, providing a new input for the charge symmetry breaking effect of the ΛN potential.

Abstract
We developed a 2(nd) generation suprachoroidal transretinal stimulation (STS) system with a 49 channel electrode array and implanted in 2 dogs. One month after surgery, all electrodes were functioning and the ocular fundus was normal in both dogs. The results indicate the 2(nd) generation STS retinal prosthesis is feasible and can be considered for clinical use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE 5C11 antibody is a novel monoclonal antibody against human BST2 and can be used to detect activation of interferon-producing cells (IPCs). Activated IPCs, which produce large amounts of interferon-α (IFNα), are considered to play an important role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We investigated the characterization of 5C11-positive cells in patients with SLE. METHODS The proportions of 5C11-positive cells among blood dendritic cell antigen 2 (BDCA-2)-, CD3-, CD19- and CD14-positive cells in peripheral blood from SLE patients (SLE-PBMCs) and healthy controls (control-PBMCs) were analyzed by flow cytometry. The effect of 5C11 antibody on IFNα production from SLE-PBMCs under stimulation with cytosine-phosphate-guanosine (CpG2216, bacterial oligonucleotide motif) was also examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS The proportions of 5C11-positive cells among BDCA-2-, CD3- and CD19-, but not CD14-positive cells in SLE-PBMCs were significantly increased compared to those in control-PBMCs (p < 0.0001, all). Especially, the number of 5C11-positive cells among BDCA-2-positive cells was significantly increased in SLE-PBMCs by about six-fold compared to that in control-PBMCs (p < 0.0001). 5C11 antibody inhibited IFNα production by SLE-PBMCs induced by CpG and the inhibition rates was 27% (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION SLE patients had a significantly higher proportion of 5C11-positive cells among CD3 and CD19 cells, and especially BDCA-2 positive cells. The ability of 5C11 antibody to inhibit IFNα production from SLE-PBMCs warrants further investigation for its possible clinical application for the treatment of SLE.

Abstract
It is not clear for how long Antarctic soil nematodes might tolerate freezing. Samples of the Antarctic moss, Bryum argenteum, were collected on 1 October 1983 at Langhovde, Soya coast, eastern Antarctica and were stored at -20°C. After 25.5 years of storage, living nematodes were recovered from the samples and were identified as Plectus murrayi by morphological examination and nucleotide sequencing of ribosomal RNA loci. The nematodes can grow and reproduce in a water agar plate with bacteria (mainly Pseudomonas sp.) cultured from the moss extract. They showed freezing tolerance at -20°C and -80°C and their survival rate after exposure to -20°C, but not -80°C, was increased if they were initially frozen slowly at a high sub-zero temperature. They also showed some ability to tolerate desiccation stress.
