Abstract
A 29-year-old man with severe ulcerative colitis and gastroduodenitis was initially treated with oral mesalamine and high-dose intravenous steroid therapy; however, his epigastralgia and vomiting did not improve. After initiating infliximab, the patient experienced prompt improvement in symptoms and inflammation. Although steroids were effective for the colon, they proved ineffective for gastroduodenal lesions, highlighting the necessity for molecular-targeted agents, such as infliximab, in these cases. The timing for administering such agents should be carefully considered.

Abstract
We describe a case of gastric cancer treated by photodynamic therapy (PDT) with talaporfin sodium using a novel simultaneous light-emitting method. An 82-year-old man was diagnosed with gastric cancer near the cardia with suspected deep submucosal invasion. Surgical resection was deemed high-risk owing to an underlying pulmonary disease. After ruling out endoscopic procedures due to intense fibrosis resulting from the scarring, PDT with talaporfin sodium was chosen. PDT was successfully conducted using an endoscope with simultaneous light emission. The patient experienced a complete response to the treatment and showed no signs of recurrence during follow-up. This case highlights the potential of PDT with talaporfin sodium as a viable alternative for challenging cases, particularly in patients unsuitable for surgery and endoscopic resection. Furthermore, the novel simultaneous light-emitting method may improve the efficiency of the procedure. This case demonstrates the potential of PDT in gastric cancer treatment, especially for high-risk patients.

Abstract
A 72-year-old man with metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma previously received first-line systemic therapy with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. His disease was judged to be progressing 5 months after treatment initiation. Comprehensive genomic profiling revealed cytoplasmic mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor amplification. On the basis of an expert panel's recommendation, he received cabozantinib as second-line therapy. The tumors shrank markedly and continued to shrink 6 months after treatment. Comprehensive genomic profiling could provide useful information for selecting effective second-line treatments for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after first-line immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased incidence of lifestyle diseases as side-effects of antiretroviral therapy (ART) have been reported in people living with HIV (PLWH). Few studies have evaluated obesity and hidden obesity in Japanese PLWH and their association with ART. In order to provide more appropriate drug selection and lifestyle guidance, we investigated the relationship between the effects of HIV infection and ART on the body composition of Japanese PLWH. METHODS PLWH who visited the outpatient clinic and had body composition measured using the body composition analyzer InBody 570 were included in this study. Medications, comorbidities, and blood test data were obtained. Body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) were measured. RESULTS In this study, 543 patients were included. Based on body shape, patients were classified into a thin group (13), normal weight group (14), hidden obesity group (158), apparent obesity group (14), and obesity group (218). Compared with the normal weight group, the hidden obesity group had a higher prevalence of comorbidities and a lower SMI. CONCLUSIONS PLWH are more likely to have obesity than the general population, indicating that hidden obesity is common even among those with a normal BMI. It is important to measure body fat percentage along with body weight, as hidden obesity can be missed. Further investigation of the effects of ART on body composition is needed.

Abstract
Although most CD8+ T cells are equipped to kill infected or transformed cells, a subset may regulate immune responses and preserve self-tolerance. Here, we describe a CD8 lineage that is instructed to differentiate into CD8 T regulatory cells (Tregs) by a surprisingly restricted set of T cell receptors (TCRs) that recognize MHC-E (mouse Qa-1) and several dominant self-peptides. Recognition and elimination of pathogenic target cells that express these Qa-1-self-peptide complexes selectively inhibits pathogenic antibody responses without generalized immune suppression. Immunization with synthetic agonist peptides that mobilize CD8 Tregs in vivo efficiently inhibit antigraft antibody responses and markedly prolong heart and kidney organ graft survival. Definition of TCR-dependent differentiation and target recognition by this lineage of CD8 Tregs may open the way to new therapeutic approaches to inhibit pathogenic antibody responses.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop a dissolution test that can predict the bioequivalence (BE) of enteric-coated pellet formulations. The original duloxetine hydrochloride capsule (reference formulation (RF); Cymbalta® 30 mg capsule) and four generic test formulations (two capsules (CP) and two orally disintegrating tablets (OD)) were used as model formulations. Clinical BE studies were conducted on 24-47 healthy male subjects under fasting conditions. Dissolution tests were performed using a compendial paddle method (PD) (paddle speed: 50 rpm) and a flow-through cell method (FTC) (flow rate: 4 mL/min). For a further test, cotton balls were added to the vessel to apply gentle mechanistic stress to the formulations, and paddle speed was reduced to 10 rpm (paddle with cotton ball method (PDCB)).All the dissolution tests were conducted with 0.01 M HCl (pH 2.0) for 0.5 h followed by 10 mM bicarbonate buffer solutions (pH 6.5) for 4 h. One each of the two CP and two OD showed BE with RF. PDCB was able to discriminate between BE and non-BE formulations, while this was not possible with PD and FTC. In PDCB, the cotton balls intermittently moved the pellets near the vessel bottom. PDCB is useful for predicting BE during formulation development.

Abstract
Introduction Leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein (LRG) is a potential biomarker for disease activity and reflects mucosal healing in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, only a few studies have described a detailed sensitivity analysis of LRG in predicting mucosal healing in patients. This study aimed to evaluate the association between LRG and the endoscopic activity of UC and its predictability for mucosal healing and explore the utility and clinical application of LRG. Methods The diagnostic accuracy of biomarkers, including LRG, in predicting the endoscopic activity of UC was evaluated. All consecutive patients who underwent total colonoscopy between April 2021 and September 2022 were included. The Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES) was used for assessing endoscopic activity. Furthermore, endoscopic remission was defined as an MES of ≤1. Clinical activity was evaluated based on stool frequency and bloody stool. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and binary logistic regression were performed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the biomarkers. We evaluated LRG trends and treatment response in patients with MES ≥2 who underwent induction therapy. Results This study comprised 214 patients. The proportions of endoscopically and clinically active patients were 33.6% and 49.1%, respectively. LRG had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.856, with a higher diagnostic accuracy than other biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein, leukocyte, neutrophil, platelet, and albumin. The cutoff value for LRG was 15.6 μg/mL (sensitivity, 72.2%; specificity, 86.6%). Using the MES, patients with higher scores had higher LRG levels than those with lower scores. The cutoff value, AUC, sensitivity, and specificity varied with a higher AUC for left-sided colitis and pancolitis than for proctitis. Logistic regression analysis showed that LRG was an independent predictor of endoscopic remission using multivariate analysis, even with the factor of clinical activity. The change ratio of LRG pre- and post-treatment was statistically significant in the higher LRG group. Conclusion LRG reflected endoscopic activity independently, regardless of clinical symptoms. An LRG below the cutoff value could indicate a significantly low probability of endoscopic activity in asymptomatic patients, and follow-up endoscopy (not for cancer screening) may be unnecessary. Furthermore, a higher LRG level might be more useful as an indicator of treatment efficacy.

Abstract
We herein report a rare case of idiopathic portal hypertension (IPH)-like disease that developed after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). A 53-year-old woman who underwent allo-HSCT for acute myeloid leukemia showed portal hypertension with radiological and histopathological findings consistent with IPH, distinct from veno-occlusive disease (VOD) and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) of the liver. This case highlights the importance of considering IPH-like disease as a potential cause of portal hypertension after allo-HSCT. Awareness of this complication can aid in the early diagnosis and appropriate management of patients post allo-HSCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is increasing rapidly, particularly among younger age groups. Estimates suggest that people with diabetes die, on average, 6 years earlier than people without diabetes. We aimed to provide reliable estimates of the associations between age at diagnosis of diabetes and all-cause mortality, cause-specific mortality, and reductions in life expectancy. METHODS For this observational study, we conducted a combined analysis of individual-participant data from 19 high-income countries using two large-scale data sources: the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration (96 cohorts, median baseline years 1961-2007, median latest follow-up years 1980-2013) and the UK Biobank (median baseline year 2006, median latest follow-up year 2020). We calculated age-adjusted and sex-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for all-cause mortality according to age at diagnosis of diabetes using data from 1 515 718 participants, in whom deaths were recorded during 23·1 million person-years of follow-up. We estimated cumulative survival by applying age-specific HRs to age-specific death rates from 2015 for the USA and the EU. FINDINGS For participants with diabetes, we observed a linear dose-response association between earlier age at diagnosis and higher risk of all-cause mortality compared with participants without diabetes. HRs were 2·69 (95% CI 2·43-2·97) when diagnosed at 30-39 years, 2·26 (2·08-2·45) at 40-49 years, 1·84 (1·72-1·97) at 50-59 years, 1·57 (1·47-1·67) at 60-69 years, and 1·39 (1·29-1·51) at 70 years and older. HRs per decade of earlier diagnosis were similar for men and women. Using death rates from the USA, a 50-year-old individual with diabetes died on average 14 years earlier when diagnosed aged 30 years, 10 years earlier when diagnosed aged 40 years, or 6 years earlier when diagnosed aged 50 years than an individual without diabetes. Using EU death rates, the corresponding estimates were 13, 9, or 5 years earlier. INTERPRETATION Every decade of earlier diagnosis of diabetes was associated with about 3-4 years of lower life expectancy, highlighting the need to develop and implement interventions that prevent or delay the onset of diabetes and to intensify the treatment of risk factors among young adults diagnosed with diabetes.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a bicarbonate buffer flow-through cell (FTC) dissolution test. Mesalazine colon targeting tablets of a generic development product (test formulation, TF; Mesalazine 400 mg tablet) and the original product (reference formulation, RF; Asacol® 400 mg tablet) were used as model formulations. A clinical bioequivalence (BE) study was conducted on 48 healthy male subjects under fasting conditions. The oral absorption time profiles were calculated by point-area deconvolution. The compendial paddle and FTC apparatus were used for dissolution tests. Bicarbonate or phosphate-citrate buffer solutions (McIlvaine buffer) were used as the dissolution media. A floating lid was used to maintain the pH value of the bicarbonate buffer solution in the vessel (paddle) or the reservoir (FTC). In the development of bicarbonate FTC method, the pH changes of bicarbonate buffer solution (pH 5.5-7.5; 5-50 mM bicarbonate) were evaluated. For the evaluation of colon targeting tablets, the dissolution profiles of TF and RF were measured at a pH of 7.5. The TF and RF formulations were exposed to 0.01 HCl (pH 2.0) for 2 h before pH 7.5. In the clinical BE study, drug dissolution started 4-8 h after oral administration and continued slowly more than 10 h. Both the area under the curve (AUC) and maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) of TF were approximately twice as high as those of RF. In the development of the bicarbonate FTC method, the pH change of the bicarbonate buffer solution was suppressed by the floating lid within ∆pH < 0.1 over 10 h. In the dissolution test of McIlvaine buffer solutions, TF and RF showed faster disintegration and higher dissolution than those observed in the clinical BE study. When using the paddle apparatus the dissolution profiles of TF and RF in both buffer solutions were not consistent with those of the clinical result. In bicarbonate FTC, the disintegration time, dissolution rate, and dissolution inequivalence between TF and RF were consistent with the results of the clinical BE study. In conclusion, the bicarbonate FTC method was constructed for the first time in this study. This method is simple and practically useful for predicting in vivo performance of colon targeting tablets during drug development.

Abstract
SUMMARY
Purpose
The first objective was to determine if the dual-curing of self-adhesive resin cement (SAC) with reduced light penetrating through zirconia had an effect on interfacial gap of zirconia restorations. The second purpose was to examine whether pretreatment methods for universal adhesive affected interfacial gap. The last aim was to compare the microhardness of SAC polymerized under different zirconia thicknesses.
Methods and Materials
This study evaluated self-adhesive resin cement (RelyX U200, 3M ESPE) after different pretreatment with universal adhesive (Single Bond Universal, 3M ESPE) under different polymerization conditions. CAD/CAM inlay cavities were prepared on extracted third molars. Translucent zirconia restorations were milled using Katana UTML (Kuraray). The teeth were divided into three groups: Groups I, II, and III in which the restoration thicknesses were 1, 2, and 3 mm. Each Group had three subgroups according to different pretreatment methods. For subgroup-1, no pretreatment was done on the prepared cavity. For subgroup-2, universal adhesive was applied and light-cured before cement placement (precure method). For subgroup-3, universal adhesive was applied; however, light-curing was done after cement placement (cocure method). After thermo-cycling, the interfacial gap at the restoration-tooth interface was investigated using swept-source optical coherence tomography imaging. Finally, microhardness was measured for SAC under different zirconia thicknesses. For statistical analysis, the interfacial gap was analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) to test the effect of cavity depth and pretreatment. In terms of each cavity depth and pretreatment, the interfacial gap was compared using one-way ANOVA and Scheffe’s test. One-way ANOVA was also performed for comparison of the Vickers hardness results.
Results
Different thicknesses of the restoration resulted in differences in interfacial gaps except between the precure method of Groups I and II (p<0.05). The effect of universal adhesive pretreatment was different depending on the restoration thickness with exceptions in Groups I and III (p<0.05). Vickers hardness number decreased as the low radiant exposure of light was applied (p<0.05).
Conclusion
Interfacial gap of zirconia restorations can differ depending on the material thickness, pretreatment, and activation mode. Reduced light intensity penetrating through zirconia may lead to higher interfacial gap percentage and lower microhardness of the self-adhesive resin cement. Application of a universal adhesive showed similar or reduced interfacial gaps in the cement space.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The lipid oxidation is a key factor for damaging hepatocytes and causing cell death. However, the mechanisms underlying hepatocyte death and the role of the most popular lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE) in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remains unclear. METHODS We demonstrated using hepatoma cell lines, a NASH mouse model, HNE-treated monkeys, and biopsy specimens from patients with NASH that HNE induced hepatocyte death by disintegrating the lysosomal limiting membrane. RESULTS The degree of HNE deposition in human NASH hepatocytes was more severe in cases with high lobular inflammation, ballooning, and fibrosis scores, and was associated with enlargement of the staining of lysosomes in hepatocytes. In in vitro experiments, HNE activated μ-calpain via G-protein coupled receptor (GPR) 120. The resultant rupture/permeabilization of the lysosomal limiting membrane induced the leakage of cathepsins from lysosomes and hepatocyte death. The blockade of G-protein coupled receptor 120 (GPR120) or μ-calpain expression suppressed lysosomal membrane damage and hepatocyte death by HNE. Alda-1, which activates aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 to degrade HNE, prevented HNE-induced hepatocyte death. Intravenous administration of HNE to monkeys for 6 months resulted in hepatocyte death by a mechanism similar to that of cultured cells. In addition, intraperitoneal administration of Alda-1 to choline-deficient, amino-acid defined treated mice for 8 weeks inhibited HNE deposition, decreased liver inflammation, and disrupted lysosomal membranes in hepatocytes, resulting in improvement of liver fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS These results provide novel insights into the mechanism of hepatocyte death in NASH and will contribute to the development of new therapeutic strategies for NASH.

Abstract
Regulatory T cells (Treg) can impede antitumor immunity and currently represent a major obstacle to effective cancer immunotherapy. Targeting tumor-infiltrating regulatory Treg while sparing systemic Treg represents an optimal approach to this problem. Here, we provide evidence that the interleukin 23 receptor (IL23R) expressed by tumor-infiltrating Treg promotes suppressive activity. Disruption of the IL23R results in increased responsiveness of destabilized Treg to the IL12 cytokine, the production of γ-interferon, and the recruitment of CD8 T cells that inhibit tumor growth. Since the Treg destabilization pathway that is initiated by IL23R blockade is distinct and independent from the destabilization pathway coupled to glucocorticoid-induced TNFR-related protein (GITR) activation, we examined the impact of the coordinate induction of the two destabilization pathways on antitumor immune responses. Combined GITR and IL23R antibody treatment of mice inoculated with MC38 tumors resulted in robust and synergistic antitumor responses. These findings indicate that the delineation of independent Treg destabilization pathways may allow improved approaches to the development of combination immunotherapy for cancers.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In Japan, ivabradine is indicated in patients with heart failure (HF) with sinus rhythm and a resting heart rate (HR) ≥75/min under standard treatment. Particularly, it is effective for HF with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, elderly people have a higher incidence of atrial fibrillation than young people, and their sinus node function is further deteriorated, resulting in a lower intrinsic HR. In addition, Japan is an ultra-aging society, especially in the countryside; therefore, the target patients for ivabradine may be limited in these regions.
Purpose
We sought to estimate the possible candidates for ivabradine and investigate their clinical characteristics in our hospital located in rural Japan.
Method and results
We retrospectively studied 14733 consecutive patients who were suspected heart disease who underwent echocardiography between January 2006 and October 2018 in Kitaishikai Hospital located in Ozu city (Proportion of the population aged ≥65 years: 34%, in 2015) and did not take ivabradine treatment. Of these, 187 patients with hemodynamically stable condition whose E/A ratio was measured and met the criteria of LVEF <40% and HR ≥75 /min were confirmed. Of these, 153 patients reached HR <75 /min with additional intensive medication within one year after the index echocardiography (Controlled group; mean HR: 82 to 62/min). The remaining 34 patients with uncontrolled HR (Uncontrolled group; mean HR: 84 to 82/min) were considered possible candidates for ivabradine (34/14733: 0.23%, 2.6 patients per year; median age, 74 years; male, 56%; median LVEF, 32%; ischemic cardiomyopathy, 53%). In the comparison of clinical and echocardiographic parameters in these two groups, Uncontrolled group had a significantly smaller left ventricular diastolic volume index (71 [59–85] vs 82 [66–109] /ml/m2, p=0.02), left ventricular systolic volume index (50 [39–59] vs 59 [42–80] / ml/m2, p=0.04), stroke volume index (22 [18–26] vs 26 [20–32] /ml/m2, p=0.02), left atrial volume index (47 [40–64] vs 59 [45–71] /ml/m2, p=0.02), and more hemodialysis (12 vs 3%, p=0.04) than Controlled group. However, the discrimination ability of these parameters for identifying Uncontrolled group was modest (Figure).
Conclusion
In rural Japan, possible candidates for ivabradine may be rare, so daily attention should be paid. Patients with reduced ejection fraction, small left ventricle, and hemodialysis may be the possible targets for this therapy.

Background
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an established treatment modality for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). PVI performed by radiofrequency (RF) energy results in parasympathetic denervation of the heart by collateral ganglionic plexi ablation. Pulse field (PF) is a novel nonthermal energy source for PVI that selectively ablates atrial myocardium while preserving cardiac autonomic nerves, which may affect the outcome after PVI.
Purpose
The study compared the effect of PVI between RF and PF ablation on cardiac autonomic function and a short-term AF recurrence rate. The resting heart rate (HR) was evaluated as a simple index of sinus nodal parasympathetic innervation.
Methods
We investigated 45 patients (aged 64 ± 7 years, 4 women) who underwent PVI by novel three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping/ablation system (lattice electrode ablation system). PVI was performed by either high-energy RF (n = 21) or PF (n = 24) energy using the identical ablation catheter. Resting HR assessed by standard ECG was recorded the day before the procedure and at the 3-month visit. Arrhythmia recurrences were analysed by 24-Holter at the 3-month visit.
Results
All PVs were acutely isolated in all patients. The HR data are shown in the Table. The baseline HR did not differ between both groups. A significant increase in HR was observed only in the RF ablation subgroup. The between-group difference remained significant even after adjustment for age, gender, and baseline HR. There was no difference in arrhythmia recurrences at the 3-month visit between study groups.
Conclusions
Parasympathetic denervation effects on HR after the PF ablation are virtually absent. Comparable AF recurrence rate at 3-month visit after RF and PF ablation suggests that preservation of autonomic innervation has no impact on AF recurrence during short-term follow-up. Table RF PVI (n = 21) PF PVI (n = 24) P Baseline HR (bpm) 60.0 ± 7.1 63.8 ± 9.4 n.s. HR change - 3-month visit (bpm) 14.4 ± 6.9 0.3 ± 8.6 P <0.001 Arrhythmia recurrences 3/21 (14%) 2/24 (8%) n.s.

Introduction
Absolute risk of Lifetime risk (LTR) is useful estimate for risk communication compared with short term risk or relative risk especially for young people. Proteinuria is leading cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although nonproteinuric renal disease is global burden of ESKD, it has been poorly focused. To date, there have been no reports of impact of proteinuria and low eGFR on LTR with the outcome of CVD death in Asian population.
Purpose
We aimed to estimate LTR of CVD death stratified by the status of proteinuria and low eGFR.
Methods
We used modified Kaplan-Meier approach to estimate the remaining lifetime risk of cardiovascular death based on EPOCH-JAPAN(Evidence for Cardiovascular Prevention From Observational Cohorts in Japan) database. LTR was estimated at each index age starting from 40 years for those with proteinuria and without proteinuria stratified by low eGFR, which is defined as eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m². Participants were classified into three groups, which were those with proteinuria (Proteinuria (+)), those without proteinuria with low eGFR (Proteinuria (-)/Low eGFR (+)), those without proteinuria without low eGFR (Proteinuria (-)/Low eGFR (-)).
Results
A total of 47,292 participants from 9 cohorts was included in the analysis. Mean follow-up period was 14.6 years with 690,463 person years and total CVD death was 1,075 in men and 1,193 in women. The LTRs at the index age of 40 years were as follows: 17.7% (95% confidence interval: 15.4 – 19.0%) in Proteinuria (-)/Low eGFR (-) group, 26.2% (20.2 – 31.1%) in Proteinuria (-)/low eGFR (+) group, 24.5% (15.1 – 29.3%) in Proteinuria (+) group for men; 15.3%(13.7 – 16.5%), 29.9%(14.7 – 46.8%) , 28.3%(19.4 – 34.7%) for women.
Conclusions
We observed that those without proteinuria with low eGFR have equivalently high LTR with those with proteinuria. These results indicate that even in the absence of proteinuria, low eGFR has high impact on LTR. Lifestyle modification from young age is necessary to prevent from renal dysfunction.

Abstract
The malignant nature of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is closely related to the presence of cancer stem cells (CSCs). Bone morphologic protein 9 (BMP9), a member of the transforming growth factor‐beta (TGF‐β) superfamily, was recently reported to be involved in liver diseases including cancer. We aimed to elucidate the role of BMP9 signaling in HCC‐CSC properties and to assess the therapeutic effect of BMP receptor inhibitors in HCC. We have identified that high BMP9 expression in tumor tissues or serum from patients with HCC leads to poorer outcome. BMP9 promoted CSC properties in epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)‐positive HCC subtype via enhancing inhibitor of DNA‐binding protein 1 (ID1) expression in vitro. Additionally, ID1 knockdown significantly repressed BMP9‐promoted HCC‐CSC properties by suppressing Wnt/β‐catenin signaling. Interestingly, cells treated with BMP receptor inhibitors K02288 and LDN‐212854 blocked HCC‐CSC activation by inhibiting BMP9‐ID1 signaling, in contrast to cells treated with the TGF‐β receptor inhibitor galunisertib. Treatment with LDN‐212854 suppressed HCC tumor growth by repressing ID1 and EpCAM in vivo. Our study demonstrates the pivotal role of BMP9‐ID1 signaling in promoting HCC‐CSC properties and the therapeutic potential of BMP receptor inhibitors in treating EpCAM‐positive HCC. Therefore, targeting BMP9‐ID1 signaling could offer novel therapeutic options for patients with malignant HCC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The peak oxygen uptake (VO2) evaluated by the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) is an established marker of exercise capacity in patients with heart failure (HF). In particular, peak VO2 <14 ml/kg/min is used to be one of the criteria for heart transplantation. However, given exercise intolerance in patients with HF, it is difficult for refractory HF patients to reach sufficient exercise load. A recent report has highlighted significant impact of right ventricular (RV) function on mortality and urgent heart transplantation. Taken together, we hypothesized that the assessment of RV function was helpful to predict exercise capacity by using low-load exercise stress echocardiography (low-load ESE) in patients with HF.
Purpose
We evaluated whether RV dysfunction assessed by the low-load ESE determined a low peak VO2 <14 ml/kg/min in patients with HF.
Methods
We studied 67 consecutive hospitalized patients with HF (mean age, 65 years; 75% male; mean LV ejection fraction, 36%) who underwent ESE and CPX after stabilized HF condition, and the time interval of CPX and ESE tests was within 48 hours. CPX was performed using an upright cycle ergometer by a ramp protocol, while ESE was performed using ergometer in semi-supine position and the workload was generally increased by 25 watts every 3 minutes. The low-load ESE was defined as the 25 watts exercise. The increments of RV s' velocity at tricuspid annulus and RV strain in the free wall were considered as a preservation of RV contractile reserve. Among the study population, 26 patients were performed right heart catheterization and RV dP/dt/Pmax was estimated as an invasive marker of RV contractility.
Results
The achieved intensity of exercise was 50.4±21.0 watts, and all patients completed the low-load ESE. The invasive study showed that the change of RV s' velocity during the low-load ESE significantly correlated with RV dP/dt/Pmax (r=0.706, p<0.001). As shown in Figure, the non-invasive parameters of RV contractile reserve during the low-load ESE were significantly correlated with peak VO2 (RV s' velocity: r=0.787, p<0.001; RV strain: r=0.244, p=0.047). ROC analysis showed that the change of RV s' velocity during the low-load ESE correctly identified patients with peak VO2 <14 ml/kg/min (AUC=0.95, sensitivity 92.3%, specificity 85.2%). In terms of inter- and intra-observer variabilities, ICCs of the change of RV s' velocity were 0.86 and 0.96, and ICCs of the changes of RV strain were 0.63 and 0.70, respectively.
Conclusion
The change of RV s' velocity during the low-load ESE could determine exercise tolerance in patients with HF. The assessment of RV contractile reserve might be clinically useful to discriminate high risk HF patients.

Abstract
Follicular regulatory T (TFR) cells are a specialized suppressive subset that controls the germinal center (GC) response and maintains humoral self-tolerance. The mechanisms that maintain TFR lineage identity and suppressive activity remain largely unknown. Here, we show that expression of Blimp1 by FoxP3+ TFR cells is essential for TFR lineage stability, entry into the GC, and expression of regulatory activity. Deletion of Blimp1 in TFR cells reduced FoxP3 and CTLA-4 expression and increased pro-inflammatory cytokines and spontaneous production of autoantibodies, including elevated IgE. Maintenance of TFR stability reflected Blimp1-dependent repression of the IL-23R-STAT3 axis and activation of the CD25-STAT5 pathway, while silenced IL-23R-STAT3 or increased STAT5 activation rescued the Blimp1-deficient TFR phenotype. Blimp1-dependent control of CXCR5/CCR7 expression also regulated TFR homing into the GC. These findings uncover a Blimp1-dependent TFR checkpoint that enforces suppressive activity and acts as a gatekeeper of GC entry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Immunotherapy is effective for many types of cancer, but its benefits in advanced pancreatic cancer, which has a poor prognosis, are not well established. In this study, the authors examined the effects of adoptive T-cell immunotherapy (ATI) on immune cell profiles and prognosis in patients with unresectable advanced pancreatic cancer. METHODS Seventy-seven patients with unresectable advanced pancreatic cancer were treated with six cycles of αβ T cells alone or in combination with chemotherapy or chemoradiation. Immune cell profiles in peripheral blood samples obtained before and after treatment were comprehensively evaluated by flow cytometry. Furthermore, associations between changes in immune cell frequencies and prognosis were determined. RESULTS ATI prolonged survival to 18.7 months compared with previous estimates of 6.2-11.1 months for patients treated with chemotherapy alone. ATI decreased CD3+CD4+CD8- T cell frequency in peripheral blood and increased CD3+CD4-CD8+ T cell frequency. An increase in CD3+ T cells and CD3+TCRγδ- T cells in peripheral blood after treatment was associated with a good prognosis. CONCLUSIONS ATI altered the immune profile in peripheral blood, including CD3+CD4-CD8+ T cells, and improved prognosis in pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Many studies have reported the J-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk; therefore, light-drinkers is generally recognized to be associated with the lower risk of CHD. However, the mechanisms of lower risk for CHD in light-drinkers are still unclear. Alcohol drinking status is likely to be associated with not only CHD risk factors but also dietary intake. Nevertheless, few studies report these relationships in detail.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationships of alcohol drinking status with CHD classical risk factors and the intake of macro- and micro- nutrients in Japanese.
Methods
Study participants were 1,090 Japanese men and women aged 40–59 years from The INTERLIPID study excepted for 55 individuals who had missing data (n=26) and were past-drinkers (n=29). Alcohol consumption was assessed with two 7-day alcohol records, and average ethanol intake (per week) was calculated. Participants were classified into following 4 groups: non-drinkers (0g/week), light-drinkers (<100 g/week), moderate-drinkers (100–299 g/week), and heavy-drinkers (≥300 g/week). Serum LDL and HDL cholesterol, blood pressure (BP), the prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidemia, and smoking status were assessed as CHD risk factors. The intake of energy and macro- and micro-nutrients were evaluated from the four-timed in-depth 24-hr dietary recalls. Nutrient intake densities were calculated per total energy intake without alcohol. The analysis of variance and chi-squared test were used to evaluate the relations of alcohol status with CHD risk factors and nutrient intake.
Results
Serum HDL cholesterol levels increased and LDL cholesterol levels decreased with increasing alcohol consumption. Systolic and diastolic BP increased with increasing alcohol consumption. J-shaped relationships with alcohol consumption were observed for the proportion of current smoker, number of cigarettes, and the prevalence of hypertension; that is, light-drinkers was lowest among all groups. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was the highest in non-drinkers, and decreased with increasing alcohol consumption. In heavy-drinkers, total energy (kcal/day) was the highest, but energy intake without alcohol (kcal/day) was the lowest. For macronutrients, the intake of carbohydrate (%kcal) decreased, and the intakes of total and animal protein (%kcal) increased with increasing alcohol consumption. The intakes of total cholesterol (mg/1000kcal) and sodium (mg/1000kcal) increased, and total fiber (g/1000kcal) decreased with increasing alcohol consumption. These associations were similar in men and women.
Conclusions
Alcohol consumption was related with not only CHD classical risk factors but also the intake of macro- and micro-nutrients. Non-drinkers had a higher proportion of some CHD risk factors than light-drinkers. These results might influence on J-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and CHD risk.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells with a central role in host immune response. This study analyzed gene expression and DC function in hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients, functions impaired because of HBV, and identified the genes related to these functions. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 64 HBV patients and 19 healthy controls were analyzed. Peripheral blood DCs were stained with antibodies against human leukocyte antigen-DR/Lin-1/CD123/CD11c and separated into plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) and myeloid DCs by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Using an interferon-gamma enzyme-linked immunospot assay, we analyzed antigen-specific response in HBV-infected patients. Regarding DC function, we analyzed antigen-presenting capacity, cell migration capacity, phagocytic capacity, and cytokine production capacity. DC gene expression was analyzed by microarray to identify genes related to DC function. No difference was found in the number of DCs in peripheral blood between healthy participants and HBV patients. In cell-surface marker analysis, CD80, CD83, CD86, CD40, and C-C motif chemokine receptor 7 expression levels in pDCs were related to the HBV-specific T-cell response. DCs from HBV patients exhibited decreases in antigen-presenting capacity, migration capacity, and cytokine production capacity. In gene expression analysis, immune-related genes with greatly reduced expression levels in chronic hepatitis B patients were identified. Of these genes, interleukin (IL)-6 signal transducer (IL6ST) expression level positively correlated with DC surface marker expression level. Adjustment of IL6ST expression level in DCs and treatment with oncostatin M resulted in recovery of DC function. Conclusion: IL6ST expression was identified as one cause of decline in DC function in HBV patients. Adjustment of IL6 family cytokine signaling may be useful for recovering reduced DC function in HBV infection.

Abstract
Abstract
The outcome of cancer patients has recently been improved by utilizing novel immunotherapies that inhibit the regulatory immune system. Regulatory T-cells (Treg) contribute not only to suppression of excessive immune responses in the steady state but also to reduction of antitumor immune responses in cancer patients. We have shown that down-regulation of the Helios transcription factor undermines CD4 Treg stability inducing these cells to convert into effector cells that enhance the antitumor immune response. Helios is also the canonical transcription factor of CD8 Treg and essential for CD8 Treg function. CD8 Treg are Qa-1 (HLA-E in human)–restricted CD8 T-cells that mainly regulate Qa-1+ immune cells. The peptide FAM49B(p190-198) is a Qa-1 binding peptide derived from ubiquitously expressed FAM49B. Although FAM49B(p190-198) is regularly degenerated in the endoplasmic reticulum normal cells, we found that FAM49B(p190-198) is stably presented in some tumor cells. Here, we investigate the potential contribution of FAM49B(p190-198)/Qa-1 specific CD8 Treg to cancer.FAM49B(p190-198)/Qa-1 specific CD8 Treg were detected by FAM49B(p190-198)/Qa-1 tetramer after immunization with FAM49B(p190-198) peptide–loaded dendritic cells in CD8 Treg (i.e., CD44+CD122+Ly49+ CD8 T-cells). T-cell receptor cDNAs were amplified from the sorted single cells and inserted into retrovirus expression vectors for transduction in 58α–β– hybridoma cells and bone marrow cells. EL4-Qa-1 KO cells and EL4-FAM49B KO cells were generated using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. These tools allowed validation of the specificity of the TCRs and their Qa-1–restriction. For in vivo studies, TCR retrogenic mice were developed by transferring TCR-transduced Rag2–/– bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells into lethally irradiated CD45.1 mice. Retrogenic T-cells were prepared by CD8 enrichment of retrogenic mouse splenocytes and in vitro culture for 3 days in the presence of IL15c. For in vivo studies, we use an adoptive transfer model of retrogenic T-cells for EL4 tumor bearing mice. Rag2–/–γC–/– mice were inoculated with 0.5 x 10^6 EL4 WT-cells and 0.5 x 10^6 EL4 Qa-1 KO cells on each lateral flank, then intravenously injected with retrogenic T-cells (on day 13 and 17). FAM49B(p190-198)/Qa-1 specific CD8 T-cells preferentially use TCR Vα3.2 (TRAV9N-3) and Vβ5.1/5.2 (TRBV12-1/12-2) chains independent of their expression of Ly49+. We tested 17 pairs obtained from Ly49+ cells using the in vitro system and found that 11 pairs bound strongly to Fam49b(p190-198)/Qa-1 tetramer while 8 out of the 11 pairs exhibited antigen-specific activation. Interestingly, one TCR pair (No.8) responded to WT EL4 cells without antigen peptides, which was abolished in coculture wells with Qa-1 KO EL4 cells and FAM49B KO EL4 cells. This TCR hybridoma was also activated by stimulated WT B6 splenocytes but not by Qa-1 KO splenocytes suggesting its regulatory potential. Adoptive transfer of TCR No.8-expressing retrogenic T-cells delayed EL4 WT tumor growth but not EL4 Qa-1 KO tumor growth when inoculated in the same hosts. Tumor-infiltrating CD8 T-cells displayed a more activated phenotype in WT tumors compared to KO tumors, indicating that retrogenic T-cells recognize and target EL4 cells in a Qa-1-dependent manner.

Abstract
Talaromyces species are typical fungi capable of producing the heat-resistant ascospores responsible for the spoilage of processed food products. Hydrophobins, which are unique to fungi, are small secreted proteins that form amphipathic layers on the outer surface of fungal cell walls. In this study, species-specific primer sets for detecting and identifying Talaromyces macrosporus and Talaromyces trachyspermus were designed based on hydrophobin gene sequences. A conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay using these primer sets produced species-specific amplicons for T. macrosporus and T. trachyspermus. The detection limit for each primer set was 100 pg template DNA. This assay also detected fungal DNA extracted from blueberries inoculated with T. macrosporus. Other heat-resistant fungi, including Byssochlamys, Neosartorya and Talaromyces species, which cause food spoilage, were not detected in PCR amplifications with these primer sets. Furthermore, a conventional PCR assay using a crude DNA extract as the template also yielded amplicons specific to T. macrosporus and T. trachyspermus. The simple and rapid PCR assay described herein is highly species-specific and can reliably detect T. macrosporus and T. trachyspermus, suggesting it may be relevant for the food and beverage industry. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The heat-resistant ascospores of Talaromyces macrosporus and Talaromyces trachyspermus are responsible for food spoilage after pasteurization. Traditional methods for detecting fungal contamination based on morphological characteristics are time-consuming and exhibit low sensitivity and specificity. In this study, a conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay based on hydrophobin gene sequences was developed for the specific detection of T. macrosporus and T. trachyspermus. This detection method was simple, rapid and highly specific. These results suggest that the conventional PCR assay developed in this study may be useful for detecting T. macrosporus and T. trachyspermus in raw materials and processed food products.

Abstract
Regulatory T cells are central mediators of immune regulation and play an essential role in the maintenance of immune homeostasis in the steady state and under pathophysiological conditions. Disruption of CD8 Treg-dependent recognition of Qa-1-restricted self-antigens can result in dysregulated immune responses, tissue damage, autoimmune disease and cancer. Recent progress in studies on regulatory T cells of the CD8 lineage has provided new biological insight into this specialized regulatory T cell subpopulation. Identification of the Helios transcription factor as an essential control element for the differentiation and function of CD8 regulatory T cells has led to a better understanding of the unique genetic program of these cells. Recent analyses of T-cell receptor usage and antigen recognition by Qa-1-restricted CD8 Treg have provided additional insight into the unusual biological function of this regulatory CD8 lineage. Here we summarize recent advances in our understanding of CD8 regulatory T cells with emphasis on lineage commitment, differentiation and stability.

Abstract
NAD+ (oxidized form of NAD:nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide)-reducing soluble [NiFe]-hydrogenase (SH) is phylogenetically related to NADH (reduced form of NAD+):quinone oxidoreductase (complex I), but the geometrical arrangements of the subunits and Fe-S clusters are unclear. Here, we describe the crystal structures of SH in the oxidized and reduced states. The cluster arrangement is similar to that of complex I, but the subunits orientation is not, which supports the hypothesis that subunits evolved as prebuilt modules. The oxidized active site includes a six-coordinate Ni, which is unprecedented for hydrogenases, whose coordination geometry would prevent O2 from approaching. In the reduced state showing the normal active site structure without a physiological electron acceptor, the flavin mononucleotide cofactor is dissociated, which may be caused by the oxidation state change of nearby Fe-S clusters and may suppress production of reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
BACKGROUND JTE-052 is a novel Janus kinase inhibitor presently under clinical development for the topical treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). OBJECTIVES To evaluate the efficacy and safety of JTE-052 ointment in Japanese adult patients with AD. METHODS Patients with moderate-to-severe AD were randomized (2: 2: 2: 2: 1: 1) to receive JTE-052 ointment at 0·25%, 0·5%, 1% or 3%, the vehicle ointment or tacrolimus 0·1% ointment (reference) twice daily for 4 weeks. The primary efficacy end point was the percentage change in modified Eczema Area Severity Index (mEASI) score from baseline at the end of treatment (EOT). Secondary efficacy end points included change from baseline in the pruritus numerical rating scale (NRS) score. RESULTS In total, 327 patients were enrolled. At EOT, the least-squares mean percentage changes from baseline in mEASI score for JTE-052 at 0·25%, 0·5%, 1% and 3% and the vehicle ointment were -41·7%, -57·1%, -54·9%, -72·9% and -12·2%, respectively. All JTE-052 groups showed significant reductions of mEASI score vs. the vehicle group (P < 0·001 for all). In the tacrolimus group, the mean percentage change in mEASI score was -62·0%. The JTE-052 groups also showed significant improvement in other parameters; notably, the pruritus NRS score was reduced as early as day 1 night-time. JTE-052 ointment at doses up to 3% was safe and well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS Topical JTE-052 markedly and rapidly improved clinical signs and symptoms in Japanese adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD, with a favourable safety profile. The study results indicate that topical JTE-052 is a promising therapeutic option for AD. The trial registration number is JapicCTI-152887.

Abstract
Heat-resistant fungi occur sporadically and are a continuing problem for the food and beverage industry. The genus Talaromyces, as a typical fungus, is capable of producing the heat-resistant ascospores responsible for the spoilage of processed food products. Isocitrate lyase, a signature enzyme of the glyoxylate cycle, is required for the metabolism of non-fermentable carbon compounds, like acetate and ethanol. Here, species-specific primer sets for detection and identification of DNA derived from Talaromyces macrosporus and Talaromyces trachyspermus were designed based on the nucleotide sequences of their isocitrate lyase genes. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using a species-specific primer set amplified products specific to T. macrosporus and T. trachyspermus. Other fungal species, such as Byssochlamys fulva and Hamigera striata, which cause food spoilage, were not detected using the Talaromyces-specific primer sets. The detection limit for each species-specific primer set was determined as being 50 pg of template DNA, without using a nested PCR method. The specificity of each species-specific primer set was maintained in the presence of 1,000-fold amounts of genomic DNA from other fungi. The method also detected fungal DNA extracted from blueberry inoculated with T. macrosporus. This PCR method provides a quick, simple, powerful and reliable way to detect T. macrosporus and T. trachyspermus. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based detection is rapid, convenient and sensitive compared with traditional methods of detecting heat-resistant fungi. In this study, a PCR-based method was developed for the detection and identification of amplification products from Talaromyces macrosporus and Talaromyces trachyspermus using primer sets that target the isocitrate lyase gene. This method could be used for the on-site detection of T. macrosporus and T. trachyspermus in the near future, and will be helpful in the safety control of raw materials and in food and beverage production.
