Abstract
Posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is associated with a low incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) following hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation. Previous studies have shown the important roles of B cell immunity in cGVHD development. Here, we investigated the long-term reconstitution of B lymphopoiesis after PTCy using murine models. We first demonstrated that the immune homeostatic abnormality leading to cGVHD is characterized by an initial increase in effector T cells in the bone marrow and subsequent B and Treg cytopenia. PTCy, but not cyclosporine A or rapamycin, inhibits the initial alloreactive T cell response, which restores intra-bone marrow B lymphogenesis with a concomitant vigorous increase in Tregs. This leads to profound changes in posttransplant B cell homeostasis, including decreased B cell activating factors, increased transitional and regulatory B cells, and decreased germinal center B cells. To identify the cells responsible for PTCy-induced B cell tolerance, we selectively depleted Treg populations that were graft or HSC derived using DEREG mice. Deletion of either Treg population without PTCy resulted in critical B cytopenia. PTCy rescued B lymphopoiesis from graft-derived Treg deletion. In contrast, the negative effect of HSC-derived Treg deletion could not be overcome by PTCy, indicating that HSC-derived Tregs are essential for maintaining favorable B lymphopoiesis following PTCy. These findings define the mechanisms by which PTCy restores homeostasis of the B cell lineage and reestablishes immune tolerance.

Abstract
Venetoclax and azacitidine combination therapy (VEN+AZA) is a promising novel therapy for elderly or unfit patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Recently, VEN+AZA with subsequent allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been reported, and human leukocyte antigen-haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation using posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy-haplo-PBSCT) from related donors appears to be a suitable option. Here, we report two elderly patients with refractory AML harboring an IDH2 mutation, who were successfully treated with VEN+AZA bridged to PTCy-haplo-PBSCT. This report suggests the efficacy and safety of VEN+AZA as a bridging treatment for PTCy-haplo-PBSCT in refractory AML.

Abstract
CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a central role in the maintenance of immune tolerance after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Tregs promptly respond to low concentrations of IL-2 through the constitutive expression of high-affinity IL-2 receptors. It has been reported that low-dose IL-2 therapy increased circulating Tregs and improved clinical symptoms of chronic GVHD. Clinical studies of IL-2 therapy so far have mainly targeted patients in the chronic phase of transplantation when acute immune responses has subsided. However, the biological and clinical effects of exogenous IL-2 in an acute immune environment have not been well investigated. In the current study, we investigated the impact of exogenous IL-2 therapy on the post-transplant homeostasis of T cell subsets which influence the balance between GVHD and GVL in the acute phase, by setting the various immune environments early after HSCT in murine model. We initially found that 5,000 IU of IL-2 was enough to induce the active proliferation of Treg without influencing other conventional T cells (Tcons) when administered to normal mice. However, activated Tcons showed the response to the same dose of IL-2 in recipients after allogeneic HSCT. In a mild inflammatory environment within a threshold, exogenous IL-2 could effectively modulate Treg homeostasis with just limited influence to activated T cells, which resulted in an efficient GVHD suppression. In contrast, in a severely inflammatory environment, exogenous IL-2 enhanced activated T cells rather than Tregs, which resulted in the exacerbation of GVHD. Of interest, in an immune-tolerant state after transplant, exogenous IL-2 triggered effector T-cells to exert an anti-tumor effect with maintaining GVHD suppression. These data suggested that the responses of Tregs and effector T cells to exogenous IL-2 differ depending on the immune environment in the host, and the mutual balance of the response to IL-2 between T-cell subsets modulates GVHD and GVL after HSCT. Our findings may provide useful information in the optimization of IL-2 therapy, which may be personalized for each patient having different immune status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have revealed that relapse of myeloid neoplasms after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) could be predicted by monitoring Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1) mRNA expression. However, only a few studies have investigated patients who received human leukocyte antigen-haploidentical stem cell transplantation with posttransplant cyclophosphamide (PTCY-haplo). In this study, we investigated the relationship between WT1 mRNA levels and clinical outcomes in the PTCY-haplo group, and compared them with those in the conventional graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis group (conventional group). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 130 patients who received their first allo-HSCT between April 2017 and December 2020, including 26 who received PTCY-haplo. RESULTS The WT1 mRNA expression level at day + 30 after allo-HSCT associated with increased risk of 1-year cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) was ≥ 78 copies/μg RNA in the conventional group (p < 0.01) and ≥ 50 copies/μg RNA in the PTCY-haplo group (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS The appropriate cutoff level of WT1 mRNA at day + 30 after allo-HSCT for predicting prognosis in patients treated with PTCY-haplo may be < 50 copies/μg RNA.

Abstract
The concurrent onset of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is rare, and no autopsy case has been reported. We report herein the first case of concurrent-onset CLL and AML with an atypical phenotype revealed by autopsy. Notably, the diagnosis of AML was quite difficult during the patient's lifetime because of the atypical phenotype. However, autopsy revealed that the patient's bone marrow, liver, and spleen were filled with myeloblasts. In addition, p53 stain and PCR of IgH rearrangement using the autopsy specimen suggested that CLL and AML might be different clones. In conclusion, our case highlights the importance of considering synchronous complications of AML in CLL patients, particularly in those with an atypical clinical course.

Abstract
Posttransplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCy) has become a popular option for haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, personalized methods to adjust immune intensity after PTCy for each patient’s condition have not been well studied. Here, we investigated the effects of reducing the dose of PTCy followed by α-galactosylceramide (α-GC), a ligand of iNKT cells, on the reciprocal balance between graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effect. In a murine haploidentical HSCT model, insufficient GVHD prevention after reduced-dose PTCy was efficiently compensated for by multiple administrations of α-GC. The ligand treatment maintained the enhanced GVL effect after reduced-dose PTCy. Phenotypic analyses revealed that donor-derived B cells presented the ligand and induced preferential skewing to the NKT2 phenotype rather than the NKT1 phenotype, which was followed by the early recovery of all T cell subsets, especially CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells. These studies indicate that α-GC administration soon after reduced-dose PTCy restores GVHD-preventing activity and maintains the GVL effect, which is enhanced by reducing the dose of PTCy. Our results provide important information for the development of a novel strategy to optimize PTCy-based transplantation, particularly in patients with a potential relapse risk.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) remains to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). IL-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK), a TEC cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, has an essential role in T cell development and receptor signaling. The ITK/Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor ibrutinib has been shown to improve chronic GVHD symptoms; however, the effect of ITK selective inhibition on acute GVHD remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the pharmacological effects of an ITK selective inhibitor (ITKsi) on acute GVHD using murine bone marrow transplantation models. First, we found that CD4+ T cell differentiation toward Th1, Th2, or Th17 was inhibited following ITKsi treatment in a dose-dependent manner while maintaining regulatory T cells in the presence of alloantigens both in vitro and in vivo. ITKsi preferentially inhibited inflammatory cytokine production and in vivo proliferation of alloreactive T cells. We then demonstrated that short-term exposure of donor graft cells to ITKsi significantly delayed the onset of GVHD-associated mortality without compromising the donor cell engraftment and the graft-versus-tumor effect, indicating the potential of ITK selective inhibition in the setting of clinical allogeneic HSCT. These findings suggest that ITK is a potential therapeutic target against GVHD, and the pharmacological ITK inhibitor may serve as a novel strategy for immune regulation after HSCT.

Abstract
Background and Aim Chronic graft‐versus‐host disease (cGVHD) is a major cause of nonrelapse morbidity and mortality following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). α‐Galactosylceramide (α‐GC) is a synthetic glycolipid that is recognized by the invariant T‐cell receptor of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells in a CD1d‐restricted manner. Stimulation of iNKT cells by α‐GC leads to the production of not only immune‐stimulatory cytokines but also immune‐regulatory cytokines followed by regulatory T‐cell (Treg) expansion in vivo. Methods We investigated the effect of iNKT stimulation by liposomal α‐GC just after transplant on the subsequent immune reconstitution and the development of sclerodermatous cGVHD. Results Our study showed that multiple administrations of liposomal α‐GC modulated both host‐ and donor‐derived iNKT cell homeostasis and induced an early expansion of donor Tregs. We also demonstrated that the immune modulation of the acute phase was followed by the decreased levels of CXCL13 in plasma and follicular helper T cells in lymph nodes, which inhibited germinal center formation, resulting in the efficient prevention of sclerodermatous cGVHD. Conclusions These data demonstrated an important coordination of T‐ and B‐cell immunity in the pathogenesis of cGVHD and may provide a novel clinical strategy for the induction of immune tolerance after allogeneic HSCT.

Abstract
Peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) are a predominant graft source in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Citrate-induced hypocalcemia remains the most frequent side effect of PBPC apheresis. Although the method for preventing severe adverse events is established, more efficient prophylaxis is required so that volunteer donors can donate PBPCs without pain and anxiety. We studied 80 healthy donors who underwent PBPC harvest between February 2014 and June 2020. Of these, 23 donors who underwent apheresis between February 2014 and December 2015 received only the standard prophylaxis of intravenous calcium gluconate. Oral calcium drinks were provided to 57 donors who underwent apheresis from January 2016 to June 2020 to supplement intravenous calcium gluconate prophylaxis. The ionized calcium (ICa) levels at multiple time intervals and the hypocalcemic symptoms were evaluated. Oral supplementation with a calcium drink maintained significantly higher ICa levels. Analysis using the inverse probability weighted regression adjustment method suggested that calcium drinks reduced the frequency of citrate-related reactions by 39.2 %. Administering a prophylactic oral calcium drink before apheresis with intravenous administration of calcium gluconate is promising to further reduce citrate-induced hypocalcemia in volunteer donors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We examined the association between living alone and mental health and the moderating effects of face-to-face and non-face-to-face social contacts, among community-dwelling older adults. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS This cross-sectional study recruited Japanese adults older than 60 years, who attended health check-ups held in a suburban town hall in July and August of 2018 and 2019. As mental health outcomes, depression was assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale 15-items, loneliness was assessed using the University of California, Los Angeles Loneliness Scale 3-items, and happiness was self-rated on a 10-point scale. Face-to-face social contacts were evaluated by participants' frequency of meetings with relatives or friends, whereas non-face-to-face contacts were measured by the frequency of interactions via letter, telephone or e-mail. Multivariable linear regression analysis was conducted to examine the association between living alone with each mental health outcome and the effect modifications of having face-to-face and non-face-to-face social contacts. RESULTS Data from 300 older adults were analysed. The participants' mean age was 73.0 years, 51.3% were female, and 16.0% lived alone. Living alone was significantly associated with poorer mental health. Regarding loneliness and low happiness, having face-to-face and non-face-to-face contacts more than once a week alleviated the adverse association of living alone (loneliness: face-to-face contacts, P = 0.020; non-face-to-face contacts, P = 0.028; happiness: face-to-face contacts, P = 0.020; non-face-to-face contacts, P = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that non-face-to-face, as well as face-to-face social contacts have a moderating effect on the adverse association of living alone with loneliness and happiness.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an emerging treatment for various solid cancers. We recently reported that tumor cell lines and patient specimens from adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) are susceptible to specific cell death by visible light exposure after a short-term culture with 5-aminolevulinic acid, indicating that extracorporeal photopheresis could eradicate hematological tumor cells circulating in peripheral blood. As a bridge from basic research to clinical trial of PDT for hematological malignancies, we here examined the efficacy of ALA-PDT on various lymphoid malignancies with circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood. We also examined the effects of ALA-PDT on tumor cells before and after conventional chemotherapy. With 16 primary blood samples from 13 patients, we demonstrated that PDT efficiently killed tumor cells without influencing normal lymphocytes in aggressive diseases such as acute ATL. Importantly, PDT could eradicate acute ATL cells remaining after standard chemotherapy or anti-CCR4 antibody, suggesting that PDT could work together with other conventional therapies in a complementary manner. The responses of PDT on indolent tumor cells were various but were clearly depending on accumulation of protoporphyrin IX, which indicates the possibility of biomarker-guided application of PDT. These findings provide important information for developing novel therapeutic strategy for hematological malignancies.

Abstract
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is an uncommon lung disorder characterized by the excessive accumulation of surfactant-derived lipoproteins in the pulmonary alveoli and terminal bronchiole. Secondary PAP associated with primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is extremely rare, and to our knowledge, no autopsy case has been reported. We herein report an autopsy case of secondary PAP occurring in a patient with PMF who was treated with the Janus kinase 1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib. We confirmed a diagnosis of PAP with complications based on the pathological findings at the autopsy. Notably, this case might suggest an association between ruxolitinib treatment and PAP occurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The INBUILD trial investigated the efficacy and safety of nintedanib versus placebo in patients with progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We aimed to establish the effects of nintedanib in subgroups based on ILD diagnosis. METHODS The INBUILD trial was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group trial done at 153 sites in 15 countries. Participants had an investigator-diagnosed fibrosing ILD other than IPF, with chest imaging features of fibrosis of more than 10% extent on high resolution CT (HRCT), forced vital capacity (FVC) of 45% or more predicted, and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLco) of at least 30% and less than 80% predicted. Participants fulfilled protocol-defined criteria for ILD progression in the 24 months before screening, despite management considered appropriate in clinical practice for the individual ILD. Participants were randomly assigned 1:1 by means of a pseudo-random number generator to receive nintedanib 150 mg twice daily or placebo for at least 52 weeks. Participants, investigators, and other personnel involved in the trial and analysis were masked to treatment assignment until after database lock. In this subgroup analysis, we assessed the rate of decline in FVC (mL/year) over 52 weeks in patients who received at least one dose of nintedanib or placebo in five prespecified subgroups based on the ILD diagnoses documented by the investigators: hypersensitivity pneumonitis, autoimmune ILDs, idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia, unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and other ILDs. The trial has been completed and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT02999178. FINDINGS Participants were recruited between Feb 23, 2017, and April 27, 2018. Of 663 participants who received at least one dose of nintedanib or placebo, 173 (26%) had chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis, 170 (26%) an autoimmune ILD, 125 (19%) idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia, 114 (17%) unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, and 81 (12%) other ILDs. The effect of nintedanib versus placebo on reducing the rate of FVC decline (mL/year) was consistent across the five subgroups by ILD diagnosis in the overall population (hypersensitivity pneumonitis 73·1 [95% CI -8·6 to 154·8]; autoimmune ILDs 104·0 [21·1 to 186·9]; idiopathic non-specific interstitial pneumonia 141·6 [46·0 to 237·2]; unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia 68·3 [-31·4 to 168·1]; and other ILDs 197·1 [77·6 to 316·7]; p=0·41 for treatment by subgroup by time interaction). Adverse events reported in the subgroups were consistent with those reported in the overall population. INTERPRETATION The INBUILD trial was not designed or powered to provide evidence for a benefit of nintedanib in specific diagnostic subgroups. However, its results suggest that nintedanib reduces the rate of ILD progression, as measured by FVC decline, in patients who have a chronic fibrosing ILD and progressive phenotype, irrespective of the underlying ILD diagnosis.

Abstract
Mogamulizumab (Mog), a humanized anti-CCR4 antibody, provides an important treatment option for relapsed/refractory adult T cell leukemia/lymphoma. However, administration of Mog before allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been reported to be a risk factor for severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The etiological hypothesis is Mogamulizumab may eradicate CCR4-positive regulatory T cells (Tregs). Theoretically, Treg homeostasis and course of GVHD can be affected by plasma exchange (PE) with decreasing plasma Mog concentration. Here, we present a case of severe acute GVHD after pretransplantation Mog, in which PE was performed for liver failure. As a result, plasma Mog concentration was decreased but it did not lead to the prompt elevation of Treg levels in peripheral blood and clinical responses of GVHD were limited to partial remission. Our case suggests that recovery of donor-derived Treg in the acute phase after HSCT is multifactorial and the single procedure of PE-based Mog depletion does not necessarily warrant the quick restoration of Treg homeostasis.

Abstract
A 52-year-old man suffered from progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) after human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical transplantation with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCY). Mirtazapine, mefloquine, and cytarabine failed to improve his symptoms, and he finally died 4.5 months after PML onset. This is the first case report of a patient with PML after HLA-haploidentical transplantation with PTCY. Although T-cell replete HLA-haploidentical transplantation with PTCY has enabled early immune reconstitution, PML should be considered if a patient's mental condition deteriorates.

Abstract
A 47-year-old woman with pancytopenia, excessive systemic lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly was referred to our hospital. The peripheral blood (PB) smear findings indicated neutropenia with lymphoid cells exhibiting hairy projections, while the histological findings of the cervical lymph node (LN) suggested hairy cell leukemia (HCL). In addition, the BRAF V600E mutation was detected, and the immunoglobulin gene rearrangement patterns were identical in both the cervical LN and PB specimens. Based on these findings, we diagnosed the patient with systemic lymphadenopathy due to HCL. This is the first report of a BRAF mutation detected in both the PB and LN at the onset of HCL.

Abstract
Chronic airway diseases like COPD and asthma are usually accompanied with airway fibrosis. Myofibroblasts, which are characterized by expression of smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), play an important role in a variety of developmental and pathological processes, including fibrosis and wound healing. Sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), a sphingolipid metabolite, has been implicated in many physiological and pathological conditions. The current study tested the hypothesis that SPC may modulate tissue remodeling by affecting the expression of α-SMA in human fetal lung fibroblast (HFL-1) and fibroblast mediated gel contraction. The results show that SPC stimulates α-SMA expression in HFL-1 and augments HFL-1 mediated collagen gel contraction in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. The α-SMA protein expression and fibroblast gel contraction induced by SPC was not blocked by TGF-β1 neutralizing antibody. However, it was significantly blocked by S1P2 receptor antagonist JTE-013, the Rho-specific inhibitor C3 exoenzyme, and a Rho-kinase inhibitor Y-27632. These findings suggest that SPC stimulates α-SMA protein expression and HFL-1 mediated collagen gel contraction via S1P2 receptor and Rho/Rho kinase pathway, and by which mechanism, SPC may be involved in lung tissue remodeling.

Abstract
Abstract
The incidence of breast cancer in Japanese women has doubled in all age groups over the past two decades. We recently demonstrated that this marked increase is mostly due to an increase in the estrogen receptor (ER)-positive subtype, and we created risk prediction models for ER-positive breast cancer in both pre- and post- menopausal women using genetic factors (single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)), environmental risk factors, serum hormones and growth factors by logistic regression analysis. Serum level of testosterone, which is the precursor of estradiol in estradiol synthesis, was found to be a risk predictor in both pre- and post- menopausal women. On the other hand, it has been reported that some SNPs, including those of estrogen-related genes such as ESR1 and CYP17A1, are correlated with breast cancer risk by genome-wide association studies. To acquire some insights into this mechanism, we analyzed genetic factors (14 SNPs), serum hormones and growth factors (estradiol, testosterone, prolactin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP3)) in 913 women with breast cancer and 278 disease-free controls for correlation between them.
Serum testosterone and prolactin levels were significantly higher in ER-positive breast cancer patients than in disease-free controls in both pre- (p<0.0001, p<0.0001) and post- (p<0.0001, p = 0.007) menopausal women, and serum estradiol level was significantly higher in ER-positive breast cancer patients than in disease-free controls only in premenopausal women (p = 0.0005). There were significant differences in serum hormone levels among the women with each SNP genotype (homozygotes of major allele, heterozygotes and homozygotes of minor allele), including testosterone among rs743572 genotype (p = 0.014), estradiol among rs827421 genotype (p = 0.016), IGF-1 among rs6905370 genotype (p = 0.032), and prolactin among rs1042522 genotype (p = 0.035) in premenopausal women, as well as estradiol among rs3803662 genotype (p = 0.027) and IGFBP3 among rs6905370 genotype (p = 0.036) in postmenopausal women. In particular, serum testosterone level was significantly different among the rs743572, which is one of the enzymes that convert testosterone to estradiol, of genotypes (AA: 0.308 +/- 0.180 ng/ml, AG: 0.319 +/- 0.193 ng/ml and GG: 0.380 +/- 0.187 ng/ml, p = 0.014). On the other hand, the rs743572 heterozygotes of CYP17A1 have been reported to have increased breast cancer risk than homozygotes of both the major allele and minor allele in premenopausal women. Further studies are required to clarify this mechanism.

Abstract
Local tumor compression is the main mechanical cause of posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) palsy. The reported cases of these tumors do not include that of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS). Here, we report a case of a 53-year-old male with a 9-year history of painless swelling in his left elbow and a few months of progressive weakness in his left hand. Imaging identified the mass, and histological examination of the biopsy specimens revealed PVNS. The mass was compressing the nerve at the arcade of Frohse, and we performed a complete resection of the mass. Following removal of the mass, the patient regained complete function in his left upper extremity, and no local recurrence has been detected after 2 postoperative years. The possibility of PVNS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of PIN palsy.

Abstract
Abstract
The incidence of breast cancer in Japanese women has doubled in all age groups over the past two decades, making it important to evaluate breast cancer risk factors in Japanese women. It is well known that mammographic density is positively associated with breast cancer risk in Western countries, and mammographic density is known to be affected by some environmental factors, serum hormones, and growth factors. We performed stepwise variable selection in a multiple regression model with fifteen independent variables as described below, based on the Akaike information criteria (AIC) to build a mammographic density prediction model using a dataset of 1191 women (913 women with breast cancer and 278 disease-free controls). The variables included were: environmental risk factors (body-mass index (BMI), age at menarche, pregnancy, age at first birth, breastfeeding, family history of breast cancer, age at menopause, use of hormone replacement therapy, alcohol intake and smoking), serum hormones and growth factors (estradiol, testosterone, prolactin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP3)) and mammographic density. The resulting prediction model is:
Mammographic density = + 0.000476 (IGF1) −0.0605 (testosterone) − 0.0508 (IGFBP3) − 0.00683 (age) − 0.0175 (BMI) + 0.00883 (age at menarche) − 0.0153 (breast feeding), (R2 = 0.336).
In this model, IGF1, testosterone, IGFBP3, age, BMI, age at menarche, and breastfeeding were considered to be important factors. IGF1 and age at menarche were positively associated with mammographic density, while on the other hand testosterone, IGFBP3, age, BMI, and breast feeding were negatively associated with mammographic density. Further studies are required to build a modified model incorporating serial measurements of serum hormones and growth factors to take into account time-dependent changes of serum hormones and growth factors, and to assess its accuracy.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) is a major complication after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) and can be life threatening. To analyze risk factors and prognosis, we retrospectively reviewed 249 cases receiving allo-SCT in our institution. Median age was 47 years (13-72 years). Disease status at SCT was progressive in 73 cases. Conditioning was myeloablative (MAC) in 146 cases. Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) grade II-IV treated with prednisolone occurred in 82 cases, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) was reactivated in 91 cases. HC was reported in 47 cases at a median of 35 days (7-469 days) after SCT, and 34 (72.3%) cases recovered after a median of 19.5 days (2-252 days). In univariate analysis, the identified risk factors for HC included age over 45 years, progressive disease status, MAC, aGVHD treated with prednisolone, and CMV reactivation. In multivariate analysis, older age, MAC, and CMV remained independent predictors (hazard ratios: 2.35, 3.50, and 2.87). In patients with severe HC, percentage recovery was lower (3 in 13 cases; 23.1%) and the median duration was longer (54 days) than in those with moderate HC (31 in 36 cases; 86.1%, 17 days, P < 0.01). Treatment-related mortality was also higher (59.1%, P = 0.03) and overall survival was poorer (16.7%, P < 0.01) at 1 year after SCT. Prospective studies should be started considering prophylactic antiviral administration in high-risk patients such as those identified in this study.

Abstract
A study was carried out to examine modifying effects of Maharishi Amrit Kalash 4 (MAK 4) and Maharishi Amrit Kalash 5 (MAK 5) on phagocytic and digestive functions of macrophages in male ICR mice. Mice at 4 week of age were divided into 3 groups: no treatment group (control), MAK 4 treated group (MAK 4 group) and MAK 5 treated group (MAK 5 group). MAK 4 and MAK 5 were given p.o. at 50 mg/kg per day (5 days/week) for 7 weeks. Phagocytic function of reticuloendothelial system evaluated by the carbon clearance was enhanced by the treatment of MAK 4 and MAK 5. Superoxide anion (O(2-)) production of peritoneal macrophages increased significantly in both MAK 4 and MAK 5 groups. The acid phosphatase activity of peritoneal macrophages increased significantly in MAK 4 group compared to the control group, but not in MAK 5 group. The activities of β-glucuronidase and lactate dehydrogenase in both MAK 4 and MAK 5 groups increased significantly when compared to the control group. These results suggest that MAK 4 and MAK 5 promote the phagocytic and digestive functions of macrophages and have a stimulatory effect on macrophages.

Abstract
This study was carried out to evaluate the dose-effects of ingestion of Maharishi Amrit Kalash 5 (MAK 5), an Ayurvedic food supplement, on the immune function in 10 week female inbred BALB/c mice. Superoxide anion (O(2) ) production of peritoneal macrophages and the response of spleen cells to concanavalin A (Con A) were examined in mice given MAK 5 by gastric intubation of an aqueous emulsion at the doses of 10, 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg once a day for 20 days. Glucose consumption of peritoneal macrophages in the MAK 5-treated mice at all doses after 24 hours of incubation, and only at the dose of 200 mg/kg after 48 hours of incubation were significantly higher than those in the control group. O(2) production of peritoneal macrophages in the presence of stimulator was significantly higher in the MAK 5-treated group at the dose of 200 mg/kg than in the control group. Activities of β -glucuronidase and lactate dehydrogenase in the peritoneal macrophages were significantly increased in the MAK 5treated mice at all doses. MAK 5 did not enhance spontaneous splenic lymphocyte proliferation at any dose in mice. Stimulation indices in the MAK 5-treated groups at the doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg were significantly higher than that of the control group. These results indicate that gastric intubation of MAK 5 once a day at the dose of 50 mg/kg enhances not only macrophage function but also lymphocyte responsiveness in mice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) is reduced by anti-inflammatory treatment in asthma. However, the FENO level is also regulated by individual demographics and there is considerable variation among clinically stable patients. OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that some demographics may be responsible for persistent FENO elevation despite inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) therapy in asthma. METHODS This was a prospective observational study. We initially screened 250 stable asthmatics and determined the FENO cut-off point for identifying poorly controlled asthma defined by one of the following criteria: Asthma control test <20, or forced expiratory volume in one-second % of predicted <80%, or peak expiratory flow variability <80% (Study 1). After 12-weeks, 229 patients who maintained high or low FENO were selected and the independent factors which might contribute to a high FENO were examined (Study 2). RESULTS A FENO level >39.5 p.p.b. yielded 67% sensitivity and 76% specificity for identifying the patients with poorly controlled asthma. The persistent high FENO group (≥ 40 p.p.b.) was more likely to be ex-smokers, to show evidence of atopy (positive specific IgE, higher serum IgE and blood eosinophils), and to have allergic comorbidities. Especially, past smoking history, blood eosinophils, and chronic rhinosinusitis were identified to be independent predictors of high FENO. Neither the dose of ICS nor other medication use showed any difference between the groups. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE These results suggested that past smoking history, blood eosinophilia, and chronic rhinosinusitis are involved in the persistent airway inflammation detected by FENO. Although their relative contributions on FENO values should be further quantified, clarification of the features of the subjects with high FENO might provide clues for adjustment of the treatment approach in asthma.

Abstract
Abstract
The incidence of breast cancer in Japanese women has doubled in all age groups over the past two decades. We have recently demonstrated that this marked increase is mostly due to an increase in the estrogen receptor (ER)-positive subtype. It is necessary to establish risk factors capable of predicting the risk of ER-positive breast cancer which will enable the efficient selection of candidates for preventive chemotherapy. We analyzed genetic factors, including 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), environmental risk factors (body-mass index (BMI), age at menarche, pregnancy, age at first birth, breastfeeding, family history of breast cancer, age at menopause, use of hormone replacement therapy, alcohol intake and smoking), serum hormones and growth factors (estradiol, testosterone, prolactin, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP3)) and mammographic density in 913 women with breast cancer and 278 disease-free controls. To identify important risk factors, risk prediction models for ER-positive breast cancer in both pre- and postmenopausal women were created by logistic regression analysis. In premenopausal women, 1 SNP (CYP19A1-rs10046), age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, alcohol intake, serum levels of prolactin, testosterone and IGFBP3 were considered to be risk predictors. In postmenopausal women, 1 SNP (TP53-rs1042522), age, BMI, age at menopause, serum levels of testosterone and IGF1 were identified as risk predictors. Risk factors may differ between women of different menopausal status, and inclusion of common genetic variants and serum hormone measurements as well as environmental factors might improve risk assessment models. Further validation studies will clarify appropriate risk groups for preventive chemotherapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as a new class of non-coding genes involved in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, and viability. Recent studies have identified miR-210 among a set of hypoxia-regulated miRNAs and demonstrated a direct regulatory role of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 a) in its transcription. High expression of miR-210 has been reported to be a poor prognostic factor in several types of cancers including breast.
Materials and Methods: TaqMan MicroRNA assays for miR-210 expression were performed in 219 breast cancers (58 triple-negative (TNBCs), and 161 ER-positive and HER2−negative). Correlations between miR-210 expression and clinicopathological factors were analyzed. The effects of several variables on survival were tested by Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.
Results: miR-210 expression in TNBCs was significantly higher than in ER-positive and HER2−negative breast cancers (p<0.001). Patients whose TNBCs had low miR-210 expression experienced significantly better disease-free and overall survival compared with high miR-210 expressors (p=0.02 and p=0.05, respectively). Notably, among 40 node-negative TNBCs, 5-year disease-free survival was approximately 60% in patients whose tumors had high or intermediate miR-210 expression (n=26), while no patients with low miR-210 expression (n=14) suffered recurrent disease. Cox univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that low expression of miR-210 was an independent good prognostic factor in TNBCs.
Discussion: Although prognosis of patients with TNBCs is poor, those whose tumors expressed low levels of miR-210 had a more favorable prognosis. Thus, the degree of miR-210 expression might be a clinically useful prognostic factor for decision-making regarding treatment in the adjuvant setting, especially in node-negative TNBC patients.

Abstract
Mammalian p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are activated by various cellular stresses, as well as in response to inflammatory cytokines. In the central nervous systems (CNS), activation of the p38 MAPK pathway constitutes a key step in the development of several diseases, and the molecular mechanisms mediated by p38 MAPK signaling have been defined. Activation of this cascade releases pro-inflammatory cytokines that are known to be involved in cerebral ischemia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), neuropathic pain and depression. In AD, stimulated p38 MAPK may trigger the hyperphosphorylation of a neural microtubule-associated protein, tau. In addition, we have recently revealed that activation of p38 MAPK signaling decreases dendritic spine number, which may be associated with memory impairment after epileptic seizures. Thus, p38 MAPK can serve as a target for novel drug development for neural diseases. p38 MAPK inhibitors have been studied extensively in both preclinical experiments and clinical trials for inflammatory diseases. New p38 MAPK inhibitors are now being tested in phase II clinical trials for neuropathic pain and depression. Here, we review current and possible future applications of p38 MAPK inhibitors as therapeutic agents in neural diseases.

Abstract
Background: The incidence of breast cancer in Japanese women has doubled in all age groups over the past two decades. Patients and Methods: We examined the characteristics of patients and tumors treated in three time periods between 1982 and 2010. Estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), and HER2 status were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Correlation of hormone receptor levels with clinicopathological factors and prognosis was analyzed in ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer in two age groups (≥50 years vs. >50 years).
Results: A total of 1903 women with breast cancer, who were treated at Nagoya City University Hospital, were included in this study. The frequency of ER-positive breast cancer in women aged 50 years or younger increased greatly over the interval studied (1982-1991: 52.5%, 1992-2001: 72.6%, 2002-2010: 87.1%, P < 0.0001). The frequency of ER-positive tumors was also significantly increased in women over 50 years of age (1982-1991: 69.4%, 1992-2001: 73.3%, 2002-2010: 78.6%, P = 0.029). In ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, tumor grade was negatively correlated with expression levels of ER (P = 0.0029) and PgR (P < 0.0001). Interestingly, PgR levels were significantly higher in women aged 50 years or younger than in women over 50 years old (P < 0.0001). In both age groups, the prognosis for patients with ER-positive, HER2- negative breast cancer significantly improved over time, due to advances in adjuvant therapies. ER and PgR expression levels were not associated with disease-free survival. Lymph node status and tumor size were strong prognostic factors regardless of the biological characteristics of the tumors in ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer in both age groups. Conclusions: It is necessary to establish risk factors, both genetic and environmental, capable of predicting the risk of ER-positive breast cancer and thus enable the efficient selection of candidates for hormone receptor-targeted chemoprevention. Furthermore, new approach should be considered to improve survival for node-positive, ER-positive breast cancer.

Abstract
The outcome and cause of death of each lung disease directly associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA-LD) have been poorly investigated. A retrospective study was conducted of 144 patients with RA-LD, in whom the median follow-up period after the initial visit for a respiratory examination was 4.5 yrs. A total of 57 patients were identified with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), 31 with bronchiectasis, 16 with nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), 11 with bronchiolitis, five with organising pneumonia (OP), five with diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) and 19 with combined disease. The 5-yr survival rates were 36.6% in the UIP group, 87.1% in the bronchiectasis group, 93.8% in the NSIP group, 88.9% in the bronchiolitis group, 60.0% in the OP group and 20.0% in the DAD group. Survival of patients with DAD was worse than that of patients with UIP. Overall, survival of patients with UIP was worse than that of patients with bronchiectasis, NSIP or bronchiolitis. Of the 144 patients, 71 (49.3%) died, of whom 58 (81.7%) died due to respiratory lesions. Of patients with RA-LD, patients with DAD experienced the highest mortality, and the survival of patients with UIP was worse than that of patients with NSIP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prolactin-induced protein (PIP) has been shown to bind to CD4 and is speculated to block CD4-HLA-DR interaction. However, the immunomodulatory effect of PIP on chronic allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVES To define the role of PIP during the immunoresponse. METHODS Using a low-dose oxazolone-induced mouse chronic ACD model, expression of PIP was examined immunohistologically. Furthermore, effects of continued exposure to a peptide mimicking the major binding site of PIP (amino acids 106-132) for CD4 was examined in a mouse chronic ACD model. RESULTS We clarified that keratinocytes, dermal infiltrating cells and spleen infiltrating mononuclear cells are positively stained with anti-PIP antibody. The PIP peptide significantly downregulated oxazolone-induced mouse ACD compared with controls. We also found that inflammation of the control ear, to which the PIP peptide had not been applied, was also suppressed in a synchronized manner in the late phase of ACD. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that PIP might have a local and systemic immunosuppressive effect in mouse chronic ACD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The combination docetaxel with cyclophosphamide (TC) regimen is one of standard treatment for early breast cancer patients. TC regimen has been widely used in Japan. However, a management for adverse event such as especially edema and nail/skin toxicity by docetaxel is very important due to give a completely full dosage. This multicenter phase II study was designed to evaluate the protection of nail and skin toxicity by using a frozen glove for early breast cancer patients treated by TC.Methods: Four cycles of docetaxel (75mg/m2) and cyclophosphamide (600mg/m2) administered intravenously (i.v.) every 21 days after surgery for primary breast cancer. All patients were attached frozen glove at right or left hand (protected hand) from 15 minutes before to 30 minutes after administration of docetaxel. The other hand (control hand) of same patient is not attached frozen glove between a administration of TC. Safety was assessed every cycle after the start of treatment. Primary endpoint is comparison the rates of nail and skin toxicity between protected and control hand. Secondary endpoints are feasibility of adjuvant TC regimen and adverse events by frozen glove in Japanese women.Results: Fifty two patients were enrolled from September 2007 to June 2008. The nail changes (grade 1 and 2) was occurred in 10 events (19.2%) and 19 events (36.5%) at protected and control hand, respectively. The skin toxicity was occurred in 14 events (26.9%, G1:8, G2:6) and 21 events (40.4%, G1:14, G2:7) at protected and control hand, respectively. The appearance of nail and skin toxicity was significantly decreased at protected hand than control hand (p=0.01). Overall, 41 patients (78%) completed the planned four cycles of TC without dose reductions or study discontinuation. One patient discontinued because of hematological toxicity defined as discontinuation by protocol. The dose reductions were necessary in 10(19%) patients because of hematological (febrile neutropenia) and non hematological toxicity by TC. Grade 3 and 4 adverse events (AEs) were neutropenia (G3:3.9%, G4:21.6%), febrile neutropenia (21.2%), fatigue (1.9%) and dermatitis (3.8%). Grade 1 or 2 AEs frequently observed (more than 20%) were dermatitis such as rash (45%, G1:29.4%, G2:15.7%), pigmentation, nausea, anorexia, disturbance of taste, tear dropping, fatigue, edema and peripheral sensory disturbance. However, there are no adverse events by frozen glove.Conclusion: TC is feasible regimen for early Japanese breast cancer patients after surgery. Frozen glove may be useful procedure which protected the nail and skin toxicity. Furthermore, it is necessary to protect the severe dermatitis due to completely performed planned TC treatment after surgery in Japan.

Abstract
Abstract
Endocrine therapy is the most important treatment of choice for estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer. Potential mechanisms for resistance to endocrine therapy involve estrogen receptor (ER)-coregulatory proteins and cross-talk between ER and other growth factor-signaling networks. However, the factors and pathways responsible for endocrine therapy resistance, particularly resistance to aromatase inhibitors, have not been clearly established. Sixteen postmenopausal patients with ERΑ-positive primary breast cancer were treated daily with 25 mg of exemestane (an aromatase inhibitor) for 6 months. Expressions of ERΑ, ERΒ, progesterone receptor (PgR), androgen receptor (AR), AIB1, aromatase, EGFR, HER2, Ki67, cyclin D1, p53, Bcl2, Stat5 and IGFBP5, and phosphorylations of ERΑ serine (Ser) 118, ERΑ Ser167, Akt Ser473 and p44/42 MAPK threonine (Thr) 202/ tyrosine (Tyr) 204 were examined by immunohistochemistry on pretreatment tumor biopsies and posttreatment surgical specimens. Analyses were made to test for correlations with response to exemestane. Of the 16 patients, 7 responded and 9 retained stable disease. High-level expression of AIB1 and phosphorylation of Akt Ser473 were significantly associated with a better response to exemestane, suggesting that these factors could be considered as predictors of exemestane response. Expressions of ERΑ, ERΒ, PgR, aromatase, Ki67, cyclin D1 and p53, and phosphorylations of ERΑ Ser118, ERΑ Ser167 and p44/42 MAPK Thr202/Tyr204 were decreased, whereas expressions of Stat5 and IGFBP5 were increased in posttreatment specimens compared to the values in pretreatment biopsies. Thus, the analysis of factors involved in the estrogen-dependent growth-signaling pathways may be useful in identifying patients responsive to exemestane.
