Abstract
A 29-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for examination of obstructive jaundice and an extrahepatic bile duct lesion. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a 20 mm cystic lesion with a thin external capsule in the common hepatic duct. Cholangioscopy revealed translucent oval masses with capillary vessels attached to the bile duct walls. The surface was mostly smooth yet partially irregular with redness, suggesting that the masses were epithelial neoplasms. Histological findings of cholangioscopy-guided targeted biopsies of the mass showed subepithelial spindle cell proliferation with no atypical epithelium. The patient underwent an extrahepatic bile duct resection to confirm the pathological diagnosis. Immunohistochemistry of surgical specimens revealed that the spindle cells were positive for estrogen and progesterone receptors. Finally, the cystic lesion with ovarian-like stroma was diagnosed as a mucinous cystic neoplasm with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. This is the first report of cholangioscopic imaging of a biliary mucinous cyctic neoplasm. Cholangioscopic imaging can be helpful in the differential diagnosis of biliary neoplasms and in the determination of treatment strategies.

Abstract
Inflammatory rhabdomyoblastic tumors (IRMTs) are newly recognized skeletal muscle tumors with uncertain malignant potential. We investigated 13 IRMTs using clinicopathologic, genetic, and epigenetic methods. The cohort included 7 men and 6 women, aged 23 to 80 years (median, 50 years), of whom 2 had neurofibromatosis type 1. Most tumors occurred in the deep soft tissues of the lower limbs, head/neck, trunk wall, and retroperitoneum/pelvis. Two tumors involved the hypopharyngeal submucosa as polypoid masses. Eight tumors showed conventional histology of predominantly spindled cells with nuclear atypia, low mitotic activity, and massive inflammatory infiltrates. Three tumors showed atypical histology, including uniform epithelioid or plump cells and mitotically active histiocytes. The remaining 2 tumors demonstrated malignant progression to rhabdomyosarcoma; one had additional IRMT histology and the other was a pure sarcoma. All 11 IRMTs without malignant progression exhibited indolent behavior at a median follow-up of 43 months. One of the 2 patients with IRMTs with malignant progression died of lung metastases. All IRMTs were positive for desmin and PAX7, whereas myogenin and MyoD1 were expressed in a subset of cases. Targeted next-generation sequencing identified pathogenic mutations in NF1 (5/8) and TP53 (4/8). All TP53 mutations co-occurred with NF1 mutations. TP53 variant allele frequency was much lower than that of NF1 in 2 cases. These tumors showed geographic (subclonal) strong p53 immunoreactivity, suggesting the secondary emergence of a TP53-mutant clone. DNA methylation-based copy number analysis conducted in 11 tumors revealed characteristic flat patterns with relative gains, including chromosomes 5, 18, 20, 21, and/or 22 in most cases. Widespread loss of heterozygosity with retained biparental copies of these chromosomes was confirmed in 4 tumors analyzed via allele-specific profiling. Based on unsupervised DNA methylation analysis, none of the 11 tumors tested clustered with existing reference entities but formed a coherent group, although its specificity warrants further study.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) for various types of malignancy, including non-small-cell lung cancer, have improved prognosis in some cases. Granuloma formation after ICI administration suggests a tumor antigen-specific cytotoxic T cell response with abundant interferon-gamma production, which can be used to estimate the curative effect of ICIs. In this report, we present a case with a resected lung lesion, clinically suspected to be lung cancer, that consisted of a granulomatous lesion. A tumor was also found in the duodenum that was presumed to be derived from the pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma. Duodenal tumor cells highly expressed PD-L1, suggesting PD-1/PD-L1 axis-mediated immune escape. As expected, pembrolizumab induced a complete response for the duodenal lesion. Interestingly, in histopathological analysis, the duodenal lesion was also replaced by an epithelial granuloma and multinucleated giant cells. We conclude that autoimmunity regressed the untreated primary lung lesion spontaneously, while the metastatic duodenal lesion responded to PD-1 blockade. Tumor-associated epithelioid granulomas, even before ICI administration, may be an important pathological finding indicating an immune response with interferon-gamma production by cytotoxic T cells to the tumor.

Abstract
Superficial CD34-positive fibroblastic tumor (SCPFT) is a fibroblastic/myofibroblastic soft tissue tumor of rarely metastasizing intermediate malignancy. Some recent studies have described a relationship between SCPFT and PRDM10-rearranged soft tissue tumor (PRT) based on SynCAM3 and PRDM10 expression on immunohistochemistry. We performed CD34, cytokeratin AE1/AE3, SynCAM3, and PRDM10 immunohistochemistry in SCPFT and its histological mimics, including myxoinflammatory fibroblastic sarcoma (MIFS), superficially localized myxofibrosarcoma (MFS), and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. We also examined cyclin D1 expression because it is expressed in MIFS and MFS. We conducted fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of PRDM10 rearrangement in SCPFT cases. On immunohistochemistry, only SCPFT showed strong and diffuse SynCAM3 expression. SCPFT also exhibited strong nuclear and weak cytoplasmic cyclin D1 expression, which was similar to that observed in MIFS. Two of five SCPFT cases exhibited nuclear PRDM10 expression. FISH revealed PRDM10 split signals in 44% and 24% of tumor cells in two SCPFT cases showing nuclear PRDM10 expression on immunohistochemistry, respectively. A minority of non-SCPFT cases showed focal SynCAM3 expression, but a combination of SynCAM3 and cyclin D1 in addition to CD34 and cytokeratin AE1/AE3 may be useful for the differential diagnosis of SCPFT and its histological mimics.

Abstract
SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumor (SMARCA4-UT) is a high-grade malignant neoplasm showing undifferentiated or rhabdoid morphology that significantly involves the thorax of adults. It has been reported as SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcoma or SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell lung carcinoma according to the findings of immunohistochemical and genetic studies. We report a case of thoracic SMARCA4-UT for which cell block analysis and immunohistochemical staining were useful for the final diagnosis. A 51-year-old man had a chief complaint of left back pain and visited our hospital for further examination. Cytological examination of a left pleural effusion was performed and we also made a cell block of the pleural effusion. Cytological examination revealed polyhedral to round tumor cells. The tumor cells appeared singly or formed loosely cohesive clusters. The nuclei were round to oval, enlarged, and sometimes eccentric with prominent nucleoli with irregular borders. The nuclear chromatin was unevenly distributed. The cytoplasm was vacuolar to eosinophilic. There were no characteristic structures of tumor cells. The cell block revealed many single or loosely cohesive round to epithelioid cells. Some tumor cells often exhibited eccentrically located nuclei and lightly eosinophilic cytoplasm, showing a rhabdoid morphology. On immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells were positive for SOX-2 and they demonstrated significantly reduced SMARCA4 (BRG1) expression; SMARCA2 (BRM) and SMARCB1 (INI1) expression were retained. Accordingly, we made a diagnosis of SMARCA4-UT. This case demonstrates the importance of performing histological and immunohistochemical analysis using cell blocks for immediate diagnosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of incident air kerma (Ka,r) and air kerma-area product (PKA) displayed on over-couch-type X-ray fluoroscopic systems by comparing them with the measured values. METHODS An ionizing chamber was placed at the patient entrance reference point to measure the Ka,r. The PKA was calculated by multiplying the Ka,r by the irradiation area. These measured values were compared with the displayed values. RESULTS The differences between measured and displayed Ka,r and PKA were less than ±35%, which was the criteria of the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). However, the accuracy of the displayed values differed depending on the manufacturer and the device. CONCLUSION Although no error exceeding the JIS criteria was observed, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of the X-ray fluoroscopic systems related to displayed dose and to manage the systems by performing dose measurements periodically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TSGCT) is a benign fibrohistiocytic tumor that affects the synovium of joints, bursa, and tendon sheaths and is categorized into localized TSGCT (LTSGCT) and diffuse TSGCT (DTSGCT). LTSGCT and DTSGCT are characterized by recurrent fusions involving the colony-stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) gene and its translocation partner collagen type VI alpha 3 chain. The fusion gene induces intratumoral overexpression of CSF1 mRNA and CSF1 protein. CSF1 expression is a characteristic finding of TSGCT and detection of CSF1 mRNA and CSF1 protein may be useful for the pathological diagnosis. Although there have been no effective anti-CSF1 antibodies to date, in situ hybridization (ISH) for CSF1 mRNA has been performed to detect CSF1 expression in TSGCT. We performed CSF1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) using anti-CSF1 antibody (clone 2D10) in cases of TSGCT, giant cell-rich tumor (GCRT), and GCRT-like lesion and verified its utility for the pathological diagnosis of TSGCT. METHODS We performed CSF1 IHC in 110 cases including 44 LTSGCTs, 20 DTSGCTs, 1 malignant TSGCT (MTSGCT), 10 giant cell tumors of bone, 2 giant cell reparative granulomas, 3 aneurysmal bone cysts, 10 undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcomas, 10 leiomyosarcomas, and 10 myxofibrosarcomas. We performed fluorescence ISH (FISH) for CSF1 rearrangement to confirm CSF1 expression on IHC in TSGCTs. We considered the specimens to have CSF1 rearrangement if a split signal was observed in greater than 2% of the tumor cells. RESULTS Overall, 50 of 65 TSGCT cases, including 35 of the 44 LTSGCTs and 15 of the 20 DTSGCTs, showed distinct scattered expression of CSF1 in the majority of mononuclear tumor cells. MTSGCT showed no CSF1 expression. Non-TSGCT cases were negative for CSF1. FISH revealed CSF1 rearrangement in 6 of 7 CSF1-positive cases on IHC. On the other hand, FISH detected no CSF1 rearrangement in all CSF1-negative cases on IHC. Thus, the results of IHC corresponded to those of FISH. CONCLUSION We revealed characteristic CSF1 expression on IHC in cases of TSGCT, whereas the cases of non-TSGCT exhibited no CSF1 expression. CSF1 IHC may be useful for differentiating TSGCTs from histologically mimicking GCRTs and GCRT-like lesions.

Abstract
Atypical spindle cell/pleomorphic lipomatous tumor (ASPLT) is a new entity of benign adipocytic tumor that spans a wide spectrum of histology from adipocytic to spindle cell/pleomorphic tumors. The latter non-adipocytic component rarely shows sarcomatous features although ASPLTs are not thought to dedifferentiate. A 78-year-old woman with ASPLT in the left thigh had a sarcomatous component with high mitotic activity and Ki-67 labeling index (LI) mimicking dedifferentiated liposarcoma. The adipocytic component consisted of various-sized adipocytic cells with few lipoblasts. The sarcomatous component consisted of a fascicular proliferation of atypical spindle cells with scattered large bizarre and multinucleated giant cells. Mitotic figures including atypical mitoses were frequently observed. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for cluster of differentiation 34 but not mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2), cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), or retinoblastoma (Rb) protein. Ki-67 LI in the sarcomatous component reached 40%. MDM2 and CDK4 genes were not amplified and 13q14 including the RB1 locus was deleted according to fluorescence in situ hybridization. The patient is alive with no evidence of local recurrence or distant metastasis 3.5 years after surgery. As ASPLT may exhibit morphological variation, it is important to rule out dedifferentiated liposarcoma with careful pathological examination.

Abstract
A 49-year-old Japanese man with a 2-month history of a fever, headache, and bilateral conjunctival hyperemia was admitted. His condition fulfilled the giant cell arteritis classification criteria (new headache, temporal artery tenderness, elevated ESR) and atypical Cogan's syndrome (CS) with scleritis and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The interleukin (IL)-6 serum level was extremely high. Two weeks after his insufficient response of SNHL and scleritis to oral prednisolone, we administered tocilizumab (TCZ); rapid improvements in scleritis and SNHL occurred. Early IL-6 target therapy can help prevent irreversible CS-induced sensory organ damage.

Abstract
Background Predicting the prognosis of patients with solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is often difficult. The prognostic risk models developed by Demicco et al. are now the standard for evaluating the risk of SFT metastasis in the current World Health Organization classification of soft tissue and bone tumors. Methods In this study, we examined the prognostic usefulness of a modified version of the Demicco risk models that replaces the mitotic count with the Ki-67 labeling index. We compared the three-variable and four-variable Demicco risk models with our modified risk models using Kaplan–Meier curves based on data for 43 patients with SFT. Results We found a significant difference in metastasis-free survival when patients were classified into low-risk and intermediate/high-risk groups using the three-variable (P = 0.022) and four-variable (P = 0.046) Demicco models. There was also a significant difference in metastasis-free survival between the low-risk and intermediate/high-risk groups when the modified three-variable (P = 0.006) and four-variable (P = 0.022) models were used. Conclusion Modified risk models that include the Ki-67 labeling index are effective for prediction of the prognosis in patients with SFT.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish a simple measurement method to verify the accuracy of incident air kerma (Ka, r) and air kerma area product (PKA) displayed on an over-couch-type X-ray fluoroscopy system. A dosimeter was located at the patient entrance reference point, and the irradiation field size was set to 10×10 cm. A lead plate was placed on the couchtop to protect the image receptor, and the duration of fluoroscopy was set to 1 min. The Ka, r was measured with the proposed method and the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) method on three X-ray fluoroscopy units of different manufactures. The effect of backscattered X-rays from the lead plate was calculated using Monte Carlo methods. The errors of the displayed Ka, r and PKA to the measured Ka, r and PKA with our proposed method were calculated. There was no significant difference in the measured Ka, r between the proposed method and the JIS method in all units. The effect of backscattered X-ray was ≤0.5%. The errors of displayed Ka, r and PKA to those measured were in the range of 3.4 to 15.7% and -4.1 to 20.3%, respectively, which met the tolerance for accuracy of ±35% in accordance with the JIS method. We found that our proposed method was simple and that the accuracy of measured values was comparable to that of the JIS method.

Abstract
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have provided an additional treatment option for various types of human cancers. However, ICIs often induce various immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Enterocolitis is a major irAE with poorly understood histopathological characteristics. In this study, we retrospectively investigated the histopathology of colon tissue samples from 17 patients treated with ICIs. There were two major histological patterns of colitis: an ulcerative colitis-like pattern and a graft vs host disease-like pattern. Although these two patterns of colitis were mutually exclusive, both patterns often showed a characteristic that we call "subepithelial surface granulomatosis" (SSG), which has not been reported in other types of colitis. SSG was found even in colon tissue without symptoms or endoscopic findings of colitis. Given the increasing reports of sarcoid reaction or exacerbation of tuberculosis after treatment with ICIs, granuloma formation could be a histological hallmark of systemic immune activation by ICIs. Although statistical significance was not obtained, probably because of the small sample size, SSG may be a surrogate biomarker of systemic anticancer immune activation. We propose that a prospective study with larger sample size be performed.

Abstract
We demonstrated the clinicopathological findings of 13 myoepitheliomas of soft tissue and bone (MESTBs) and two myoepithelioma-like tumors of the vulvar region (MELTVRs), focusing on the association between nuclear atypia and clinical course, and the utility of immunohistochemistry (IHC) of pleomorphic adenoma gene 1 (PLAG1) for the pathological diagnosis of these tumors. Of the 13 MESTBs, eight, one and four cases exhibited mild, moderate and severe nuclear atypia, respectively. Two cases with venous invasion showed severe nuclear atypia and both died of advanced disease. Two MELTVR cases showed moderate nuclear atypia and had no evidence of disease after surgery. On IHC, 12 of 13 (92.3%) MESTBs showed PLAG1 immunoreactivity and none of the MELTVRs expressed PLAG1. In addition, MELTVRs showed loss of INI1 expression. In contrast, all MESTBs retained INI1 expression. Fluorescence in situ hybridization detected EWSR1, FUS and PLAG1 rearrangement in 5 (38.5%), 0 (0%) and 2 (15.4%) of the 13 MESTBs, respectively. No EWSR1, FUS and PLAG1 rearrangement were observed in the METLVRs. In conclusion, MESTBs with both severe nuclear atypia and venous invasion would be indicative of malignant potential. PLAG1 might be a useful IHC marker in MESTB diagnosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE A fluorescence-based technique for the detection of parathyroid glands (PGs) intraoperatively was previously reported. The technique was based on the phenomenon in which PGs emit autofluorescence when exposed to near-infrared light and we undertook an evaluation to consider the pathological accuracy of the method. METHODS The study comprised 17 patients (18 specimens) who underwent thyroid surgery at Kushiro City General Hospital between November 2018 and June 2019. We searched for PGs intraoperatively using a fluorescence spectroscopy system and evaluated the pathological accuracy of the system. We statistically evaluated the clinical factors associated with the accuracy of the system, including age, gender, body mass index, laterality, disease state, renal function, and comorbidity. RESULTS Eighteen specimens were evaluated pathologically, with 13 specimens confirmed as PGs. These were evaluated as "true positive," giving a positive predictive value of 72.2% (13/18). Among the false-negative cases, one specimen was a metastatic lymph node in a patient with papillary thyroid carcinoma. There was a significant difference in the true-positive rates between malignant (25%) and benign (85.7%) disease (P = 0.044). CONCLUSION We consider that this technique is useful, however, we have to exercise care in malignant cases as the true-positive rate may be low.

Abstract
Realization of topological superconductors (TSCs) hosting Majorana fermions is a central challenge in condensed-matter physics. One approach is to use the superconducting proximity effect (SPE) in heterostructures, where a topological insulator contacted with a superconductor hosts an effective p-wave pairing by the penetration of Cooper pairs across the interface. However, this approach suffers a difficulty in accessing the topological interface buried deep beneath the surface. Here, we propose an alternative approach to realize topological superconductivity without SPE. In a Pb(111) thin film grown on TlBiSe2, we discover that the Dirac-cone state of substrate TlBiSe2 migrates to the top surface of Pb film and obtains an energy gap below the superconducting transition temperature of Pb. This suggests that a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer superconductor is converted into a TSC by the topological proximity effect. Our discovery opens a route to manipulate topological superconducting properties of materials. Realizing topological superconductivity is essential for applicable fault-tolerant quantum computation. Here, Trang et al. report migration of Dirac-cone from TlBiSe2 substrate to top surface of superconducting Pb film due to topological proximity effect, suggesting realization of topological superconductivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the necessity and sufficiency of different types of hysterectomy for the surgical treatment of endometrial cancer. METHODS This was a multicenter collaborative study conducted by 11 institutions. Among patients with stage I-III endometrial cancer who underwent surgery as the initial treatment (only chemotherapy was provided if adjuvant therapy was needed) from 2001 to 2012, we retrospectively examined the type of hysterectomy, clinicopathological factors, recurrence rate over a maximum period of 5 years, and the site of recurrence. The local recurrence rate was examined by univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Among 1335 patients, 982 (73.6%) underwent simple hysterectomy (SH) and 353 (26.4%) underwent modified radical hysterectomy (mRH) and were observed for a mean duration of 51.8 months. No significant difference was observed in the rate of local recurrence between the SH and mRH groups (p = 0.928). In multivariate analysis, clinicopathological factors independently associated with localized recurrence included postmenopausal status [hazard ratio (HR) 5.036, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.506-16.841, p = 0.009], with stages II (HR 3.337, 95% CI 1.701-6.547, p < 0.001) and III (HR 2.445, 95% CI 1.280-4.668, p = 0.007), vs stage I and histological type 2 (HR 1.610, 95% CI 0.938-2.762, p = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS For endometrial cancer patients requiring surgery, the selection of a more extensive type of hysterectomy did not reduce the rate of local recurrence. Therefore, there is little significance in performing mRH in such cases.

Abstract
A 70-year-old woman developed severe buttock pain that progressed to a walking disturbance. Radiographs and computed tomography scans revealed an osteolytic lesion with osteosclerosis extending from the body to the arch of the fifth lumbar vertebra. Magnetic resonance imaging showed multinodular masses in the fifth lumbar vertebral body extending into the spinous processes and right transverse process. The masses were hypointense to isointense on T1-weighted images and hypointense to hyperintense on T2-weighted images. Histologic examination of biopsy specimens showed destruction of the trabecula of the vertebral bone by a fascicular and solid proliferation of spindle tumor cells and scattered rhabdomyoblasts, in a fibrotic background. The tumor cells were immunoreactive for keratins, vimentin, desmin, MyoD1, myogenin, and anaplastic lymphoma kinase. Fluorescence in situ hybridization detected split signals for FUS and TFCP2 in 80% and 64% of the tumor cells, respectively, suggesting FUS-TFCP2 fusion. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction revealed a FUS-TFCP2 fusion. The final diagnosis was spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma of a lumbar vertebra with a FUS-TFCP2 fusion. A spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma with a FUS-TFCP2 fusion in a vertebral bone is rare and should be differentiated from metastatic carcinoma, particularly in the elderly.

Abstract
An unusual case of bilateral lens coloboma and Alport-like glomerulonephritis is reported. In a 12-year-old boy and in several family members; Alport-like glomerulonephritis was diagnosed without deafness and without ocular signs of Alport syndrome. A bilateral lens coloboma however was observed in the propositus. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of lens coloboma with Alport-like glomerulonephritis.

Abstract
Langerhans cell sarcoma (LCS) and quintuple cancers are extremely rare. In this report, a case of quintuple cancers including LCS was described. An 80-year-old man had squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal skin, colon and rectum adenocarcinomas, and T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma. As swelling of multiple submental lymph nodes was observed, fine-needle aspiration was carried out. Many large cells with high-grade nuclear atypia and abundant cytoplasm were observed. Lymphocytes and eosinophils were observed in the background. Although a malignant tumor was suspected, a definite diagnosis could not be made. In a biopsy sample, the tumor cells were positive for vimentin, CD68, S-100, CD1a, and CD163 and negative for epithelial, lymphocyte, and melanoma markers in immunohistochemistry. A diagnosis of LCS was made from the immunohistochemical findings and high mitotic rate with atypical forms. The patient died about 2 months after the first medical examination. Metastasis of LCS was confirmed in many organs by autopsy. LCS has a poor prognosis. In cases with the above-described cytological findings, LCS should be added to the list of differential diagnosis. The cytological findings presented here may be useful for determining appropriate clinical management such as staging of the disease and follow-up of the neoplasm. Diagn.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Glucocorticoid-induced diabetes mellitus (GIDM) increases the risk of diabetes mellitus (DM)-related complications but is generally difficult to detect in clinical settings. The criteria for diagnosing GIDM have not been established. Recently, medical information databases (MIDs) have been used in post-marketing surveillance (PMS) studies. We conducted a pharmacoepidemiological study to develop an algorithm for detecting GIDM using MID. METHODS We selected 1214 inpatients who were newly prescribed with a typical glucocorticoid, prednisolone, during hospitalization from 2008 to 2014 from an MID of Hamamatsu University Hospital in Japan. GIDM was screened based on fasting blood glucose (FBG) and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels according to the current Japan Diabetes Society (JDS) DM criteria, and its predictability was evaluated by an expert's review of medical records. We investigated further candidate screening factors using receiver operating characteristics analysis. RESULTS Sixty-three inpatients were identified by the JDS DM criteria. Of these, 33 patients were definitely diagnosed as having GIDM by expert's review (positive predictive value = 52·4%). To develop a highly predictive algorithm, we compared the characteristics of inpatients diagnosed with definite GIDM and those diagnosed as non-GIDM. The maximum levels of HbA1c in patients with GIDM were significantly higher than those of patients with non-GIDM (66·9 mmol/mol vs. 58·7 mmol/mol, P < 0·001). The patients with GIDM had significantly higher relative increase in maximum level of HbA1c (RIM-HbA1c) than those with non-GIDM (0·3 vs. 0·03, P < 0·001). However, we did not observe a significant difference in those of fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels. We applied the RIM-HbA1c as a second screening factor to improve the detection of GIDM. It showed that a 13% increase in RIM-HbA1c separated patients with from patients without GIDM. WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSIONS Patients with GIDM had significantly higher RIM-HbA1c than patients with non-GIDM. There was a 13% increase in RIM-HbA1c in patients with GIDM compared to the others. Our detection algorithm for GIDM using an MID achieved high sensitivity and specificity, and was superior to one based only on the current JDS DM criteria. Our results suggest that monitoring changes in HbA1c levels is important for detecting GIDM and adds to current diagnostic criteria for type 2 DM.

Abstract
Phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) is a phospholipid that is abundant in eukaryotic plasma membranes. An ATP-dependent enzyme called flippase normally keeps PtdSer inside the cell, but PtdSer is exposed by the action of scramblase on the cell's surface in biological processes such as apoptosis and platelet activation. Once exposed to the cell surface, PtdSer acts as an 'eat me' signal on dead cells, and creates a scaffold for blood-clotting factors on activated platelets. The molecular identities of the flippase and scramblase that work at plasma membranes have long eluded researchers. Indeed, their identity as well as the mechanism of the PtdSer exposure to the cell surface has only recently been revealed. Here, we describe how PtdSer is exposed in apoptotic cells and in activated platelets, and discuss PtdSer exposure in other biological processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet concentrates (PC) are prepared by centrifugation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) that is prepared by centrifugation of whole blood. The resuspension of the platelet pellet during PC preparation from dogs is difficult because of platelet activation induced by centrifugation. OBJECTIVES To investigate the efficacy of adding prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1) ) to prevent platelet activation during PC preparation from dogs. ANIMALS Fifteen healthy Beagle dogs. METHODS Prospective, experimental trial: PGE(1) was added to PRP before the high-speed centrifugation during PC preparation. To estimate the effect of this addition, we assessed the platelet aggregability before transfusion, the survival of the platelets after transfusion, and the platelet reactivity after transfusion, which is estimated by the P-selectin expression of the platelets when stimulated by thrombin. RESULTS The difficulty associated with platelet resuspension was resolved by PGE(1.) PGE(1) strongly inhibited platelet aggregation induced by collagen and ADP; however, it recovered after the platelets were resuspended in plasma without PGE(1) (mean aggregation ratio; collagen: 10.00-80.80%, ADP: 8.20-53.60%). Survival of the platelets after transfusion was not affected by PGE(1) (mean 8.04 and 7.56 days, without and with PGE(1) ), and thrombin-induced P-selectin expression after transfusion in PGE(1) -treated PC was also well maintained (mean positive ratio 53.7 and 47.9%, before and 24 hours after transfusion). CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE The addition of PGE(1) in PRP before the centrifugation of PRP can improve the preparation efficiency of PC from dogs, while maintaining the therapeutic efficacy of the platelets.

Abstract
The antibacterial activity of polyoxometalates (PMs) against Helicobacter pylori was investigated based on determinations of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC), time-killing of the bacteria, bacterial morphology and PM-uptake into the bacteria cell. The result of MIC values revealed that, of 13 PMs used in this study, highly negative-charged polyoxotungstates, such as K27[KAs4W40O140] and K18[KSb9W21O86], and Keggin-structural polyoxotungstates exhibited a potent antibacterial activity with the MIC values of less than 256 microg/ml. The former was the most active, and superior to metronidazole (MTZ) against MTZ-susceptible and resistant strains and also to clarithromycin (CLR) against CLR-resistant strains. In contrast, most of polyoxomolybdates showed little antibacterial activity with the MIC values of more than 256 microg/ml. The result of FIC index values indicated that the antibacterial polyoxotungstates had partially synergistic effect in combination with MTZ and CLR but indifferent effect in combination with amoxicillin (AMX). From the results of the time-killing and scanning electron microscope images, K27[KAs4W40O140] and K18[KSb9W21O86] proved the concentration-dependent bactericidal activity with the morphological change from bacillary form to coccoid form, while Keggin-structural K5[SiV(V)W11O40] showed the bacteriostatic activity with small change of morphology to coccoid form. The fluorescent X-ray analysis demonstrated that these polyoxotungstates were taken into the bacteria cell. It is pointed out that the Keggin-structure and/or high negativity polyoxotungstates are an important factor for the antibacterial activity against H. pylori.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study of patients with Helicobacter pylori infection and low-grade MALT lymphoma aimed to investigate: 1) the effect of H. pylori eradication therapy on the serum gastrin level, 2) whether changes of the serum gastrin level after therapy could predict the prognosis of patients with this tumour, and 3) the relationship between the gastric H. pylori load, the serum gastrin level and the status of MALT lymphoma. METHODS Thirteen patients with documented low-grade MALT lymphoma and H. pylori infection were enrolled and received H. pylori eradication therapy as the sole initial treatment. The presence of H. pylori, the serum gastrin level, the endoscopic findings, the pathologic features of the biopsies and resected specimens, and the endoscopic ultrasonography findings were evaluated before and after therapy. Follow-up was carried out every 3-6 months. RESULTS H. pylori eradication was eventually achieved in all 13 patients. The pretreatment fasting serum gastrin level decreased from 177.1 +/- 107.4 pg/ml to 129.2 +/- 78.1, 96.4 +/- 66.6 and 80.1 +/- 42.7 pg/ml after 0-3, 3-6 and 6-9 months, respectively (all P < 0.05). Successful eradication of H. pylori was followed by a decrease of the fasting serum gastrin level and complete regression of initial low-grade MALT lymphoma was observed in all patients. However, two patients subsequently developed recurrent high-grade MALT lymphoma or high-grade lymphoma. In one of them, the serum gastrin level rose again above the pretreatment value. In the other, however, the fasting gastrin level fell throughout the study period. The median fasting serum gastrin level before H. pylori eradication therapy was higher in the patients with tumours of the gastric body (203.4 +/- 108.9 pg/ml) than in those with tumours of the antrum and angulus (89.3 +/- 28.0 pg/ml) (P = 0.06). CONCLUSIONS Hypergastrinaemia may be associated with an increased risk of gastric MALT lymphoma.

Abstract
E7 oncoproteins of mucosal high-risk human papillomavirus type 16 and 18 (HPV16 and HPV18) immortalize primary rodent cells and transform them in collaboration with the activated ras, possibly by interaction with retinoblastoma gene product RB and its related p107. On the other hand, E7 of the cutaneous epidermodysplasia verruciformis-associated HPV5 and HPV8 possess ras-collaborative transformation but not immortalization activity. By using polymerase chain reaction, we constructed chimeric E7 from immortalizing HPV16 E7 and nonimmortalizing HPV5 E7, which have boundaries at the 37/39th, 61/62th, or 79th codon of the HPV16 E7. These chimeric E7 were cloned into the expression vectors to examine their ras-collaboration and immortalization activities. Chimeric E7 that contained N-terminal 39 amino acid residues (R), 61R and 79R of HPV16 E7, showed ras-collaboration activity in primary rat embryo fibroblast and primary baby rat kidney (BRK) cells as efficiently as HPV16 E7. Meanwhile, only the chimeric E7 containing N-terminal 79R of HPV16 E7 was able to immortalize primary BRK cells without second oncogenes. Co-transfection of two chimeric E7 carrying HPV16 N-terminus and HPV16 C-terminus induced immortalization of primary BRK cells. These results suggest that (i) in addition to the N-terminal RB-binding domain, the C-terminal region of HPV16 E7 is essential for immortalization of primary BRK cells, and (ii) two different immortalization functions are present in the two regions of HPV16 E7. By using a yeast two hybrid system, we searched for the HeLa cDNA whose products can bind the C-terminal region of HPV16 E7.
