Abstract
Background Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) diagnostic criteria for inflammatory demyelinating central nervous system diseases included symptomatic narcolepsy; however, no relevant case-control studies exist. We aimed to examine the relationship among cerebrospinal fluid orexin-A (CSF-OX) levels, cataplexy and diencephalic syndrome; determine risk factors for low-and-intermediate CSF-OX levels (≤200 pg/mL) and quantify hypothalamic intensity using MRI. Methods This ancillary retrospective case-control study included 50 patients with hypersomnia and 68 controls (among 3000 patients) from Akita University, the University of Tsukuba and community hospitals (200 facilities). Outcomes were CSF-OX level and MRI hypothalamus-to-caudate-nucleus-intensity ratio. Risk factors were age, sex, hypersomnolence and MRI hypothalamus-to-caudate-nucleus-intensity ratio >130%. Logistic regression was performed for the association between the risk factors and CSF-OX levels ≤200 pg/mL. Results The hypersomnia group (n=50) had significantly more cases of NMOSD (p<0.001), diencephalic syndrome (p=0.006), corticosteroid use (p=0.011), hypothalamic lesions (p<0.023) and early treatment (p<0.001). No cataplexy occurred. In the hypersomnia group, the median CSF-OX level was 160.5 (IQR 108.4-236.5) pg/mL and median MRI hypothalamus-to-caudate-nucleus-intensity ratio was 127.6% (IQR 115.3-149.1). Significant risk factors were hypersomnolence (adjusted OR (AOR) 6.95; 95% CI 2.64 to 18.29; p<0.001) and MRI hypothalamus-to-caudate-nucleus-intensity ratio >130% (AOR 6.33; 95% CI 1.18 to 34.09; p=0.032). The latter was less sensitive in predicting CSF-OX levels ≤200 pg/mL. Cases with MRI hypothalamus-to-caudate-nucleus-intensity ratio >130% had a higher rate of diencephalic syndrome (p<0.001, V=0.59). Conclusions Considering orexin as reflected by CSF-OX levels and MRI hypothalamus-to-caudate-nucleus-intensity ratio may help diagnose hypersomnia with diencephalic syndrome.

Abstract
The patient was a 44-year-old man who developed cognitive impairment beginning at the age of 35 years that gradually worsened. The cognitive impairment led to a difficult social life, and he retired from his company. After hospitalization and workup, he was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) that presented only with cognitive impairment for 10 years. Since he had multiple predictive factors for poor prognosis, anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy was implemented. Cognitive impairment and cerebral blood flow SPECT findings improved, and he returned to a social life 3 months later. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy was effective in improving cognitive impairment in a case of an advanced stage of PPMS.

Abstract
REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) can progress to Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, or multiple system atrophy within 20 years of onset. Accurate diagnosis of RBD is therefore important for early intervention. The development of markers that can more sensitively evaluate the effects of high-risk groups or candidate therapies that develop α-synucleinopathy in the short term is the key to a successful clinical trial. Clinical protocols for early diagnosis of α-synucleinopathy are currently being developed. The next stage will be to conduct clinical trials for candidate therapies.

Abstract
Midbrain infarction causing oculomotor nerve palsy with contralateral ataxia is named Claude's syndrome. Herein we report the case of a variant of Claude's syndrome, which shows pupil-sparing oculomotor nerve palsy without the accompanying neurological deficits other than subtle truncal ataxia. MRI and Diffusion Tensor Imaging revealed that midbrain infarction was located rostrally above the decussation of the superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP) and might have partially destructed the tectospinal tract, which resulted in the absence of limb ataxia and presence of subtle truncal ataxia. In this variant of Claude's syndrome, we should carefully assess truncal ataxia to avoid misdiagnosing it as isolated pupil-sparing oculomotor nerve palsy because the patient showed apparently normal gait and truncal ataxia was only revealed by unstable tandem gait.

Abstract
A newborn patient (birth weight 2,332 g) with corrected transposition of the great arteries developed chronic lung disease due to a severe heart failure and post operative several complications. We applied intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (IPV) to the patient. IPV improved oxygenation concomitant with the improvement of respiratory condition and chest X-ray finding. However, the patient suffered from upper gastrointestinal bleeding 15 days after initiation of IPV therapy. The bleeding was healed several days after temporal termination of IPV, but recurred with resuming IPV therapy. The patient was irritable throughout the IPV therapy, and thus gastrointestinal bleeding of the patient could be due to stress induced by IPV therapy. IPV may be useful for the management of respiratory disturbance, often observed in low birth weight patients with congenital heart defects. However, gastrointestinal bleeding may occur and should be considered as a possible complication associated with IPV therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the efficacy and safety of torasemide in children with chronic heart failure (HF). METHODS 102 children with chronic HF who had received oral torasemide were analysed. Of these, 62 (de novo group) were newly diagnosed as having HF and were given torasemide as a diuretic. The remaining 40 (replacement group) had been given furosemide for >3 months before the study, and furosemide was then replaced with torasemide. Clinical signs and symptoms of HF (assessed as the HF index), humoral factors and serum potassium concentrations before torasemide treatment were compared with those obtained 3-4 weeks after torasemide treatment. Patients were also monitored for adverse effects. RESULTS In the de novo group, torasemide significantly improved the HF index with concomitant improvement in plasma brain natriuretic peptide concentration (median (interquartile range) 52 (51) vs 43 (49) pg/ml). In a randomly selected group of 25 de novo patients with ventricular septal defect, echocardiography showed that torasemide significantly improved left ventricular geometry and function. In the replacement group, brain natriuretic peptide concentrations were also significantly decreased from 50 (104) to 45 (71) pg/ml after substitution of torasemide, but the HF index showed only a tendency for improvement (p = 0.07). Torasemide also had a potassium-sparing effect (de novo group, no change in potassium concentration; replacement group, significant increase from 4.2 (0.5) to 4.3 (0.5) mEq/l), and caused a significant rise in serum aldosterone concentration, consistent with the anti-aldosterone effect of this drug. Serum concentrations of sodium and uric acid had not changed after torasemide treatment, and there were no serious adverse events that necessitated drug withdrawal. CONCLUSION Torasemide can be safely used, and appears to be effective for treatment of HF in children. Future clinical trials are warranted to verify the present results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent histological studies of the aortic wall of patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have shown massive degeneration of the tunica media of the aorta. Such changes in arterial wall structure may significantly alter arterial wall mechanical properties, and thus cause abnormal arterial haemodynamics. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that after repair of TOF, there are abnormal arterial haemodynamics which are associated with aortic dilatation and which increased after load on the left ventricle. METHODS AND RESULTS The subjects comprised 38 patients who had undergone complete repair of TOF, and 55 control subjects. Systemic arterial haemodynamics were investigated by measuring aortic input impedance during cardiac catheterisation. The patients with TOF had significantly higher characteristic impedance (158 (43) dyne x s x cm(-5) x m(2) vs 105 (49) dyne x s x cm(-5) x m(2)) and pulse wave velocity (561 (139) cm/s vs 417 (91) cm/s) and significantly lower total peripheral arterial compliance (0.93 (0.39) ml/mm Hg/m(2) vs 1.24 (0.58) ml/mm Hg/m(2)) than the controls (for all three variables, p<0.01 vs controls), suggesting that central and peripheral arterial wall stiffness are increased after TOF repair. Additionally, patients with TOF had significantly higher arterial wave reflection than the controls (reflection coefficient: 0.21 (0.12) vs 0.16 (0.06)). These abnormalities in patients with TOF increased the pulsatile load on the left ventricle and significantly contributed to decreased cardiac output, even when right ventricular function was taken into account by multivariate regression analysis. The increase in aortic wall stiffness was closely associated with the increase in aortic root diameter. CONCLUSION These results indicating abnormal arterial haemodynamics after TOF repair highlight the importance of regular monitoring of the systemic arterial bed and potentially relevant cardiovascular events in long-term follow-up of TOF.

Abstract
The female patient in this report was suffering from a pancreatic islet cell tumor which exhibited ectopic ACTH syndrome associated with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. When this combined syndrome was diagnosed, there were already multiple metastasis to the liver. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome was treated with a histamine-H2-receptor blocker, and ectopic ACTH syndrome was controlled with trilostane, metyrapone and o,p'-DDD. She survived more than 6 years after the diagnosis, mostly as an outpatient. During treatment she became cachexic. After she died, an autopsy was done. Immunohistochemical staining established that tumor cells contained ACTH- and gastrin-like immunoreactivity. Our treatment suggested the efficacy of chemical adrenalectomy in managing ectopic ACTH syndrome associated with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Abstract
In order to examine the relationship between the neuroleptic resistant chronic psychopathology and CT findings in schizophrenia, 25 schizophrenics who had been treated well and were in a stable condition were assessed for positive and negative symptoms, CT findings, medication, and the clinical course of illness. Correlational analysis showed that there was a group of patients who had comparatively small ventricles and presented treatment resistant positive symptoms, and another group of patients who had larger ventricles and lacked positive symptoms. Negative symptoms showed a tendency toward positive correlation with atrophic CT changes of cortices. Literature on CT findings and symptomatology was critically reviewed. The importance of the more chronic positive symptoms correlating to CT findings in schizophrenia were discussed.
