Abstract
BACKGROUND AIMS Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have indicated the involvement of shared (population-non-specific) and non-shared (population-specific) susceptibility genes in the pathogenesis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) among European and East-Asian populations. Although a meta-analysis of these distinct populations has recently identified more than 20 novel PBC susceptibility loci, analyses of population-specific genetic architecture are still needed for a more comprehensive search for genetic factors in PBC. APPROACH RESULTS Protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2 (PTPN2) was identified as a novel PBC susceptibility gene locus through a GWAS and subsequent genome-wide meta-analysis involving 2,181 cases and 2,699 controls from the Japanese population (GWAS-lead variant: rs8098858, p=2.6×10-8). In-silico and in-vitro functional analyses indicated that the risk allele of rs2292758, which is a primary functional variant, decreases PTPN2 expression by disrupting Sp1 binding to the PTPN2 promoter in T follicular helper cells (Tfh) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Infiltration of PTPN2-positive T-cells and pDCs were confirmed in the portal area of the PBC-liver by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis of PBC-liver samples indicated the presence of a compromised negative feedback loop in-vivo between PTPN2 and IFNG in patients carrying the risk allele of rs2292758. CONCLUSIONS PTPN2, a novel susceptibility gene for PBC in the Japanese population, may be involved in the pathogenesis of PBC via an insufficient negative feedback loop caused by the PTPN2 risk allele of rs2292758 in IFN signaling. This suggests that PTPN2 could be a potential molecular target for PBC treatment.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy of using the central venous (CV) port compared with peripheral intravenous access for contrast-material injection for contrast enhancement during the portal venous phase. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were divided into three groups: CV delay, CV routine, and peripheral access (PA) groups. Patients in the CV delay group underwent injection in the arm-down position with an additional delay, while those in the CV routine and PA groups underwent injections with the routine injection protocol for portal venous phase imaging. Contrast enhancement was evaluated by measuring the mean radiodensity (Hounsfield units) values for the aortic arch, abdominal aorta, inferior vena cava, portal vein, and spleen. The peak injection pressure was recorded and compared among the three groups. RESULTS No complications related to power injection were observed during 119 contrast-material injections performed using the CV port device. The CV delay group showed significantly lower radiodensity values than the PA group (165.7 ± 20.1 versus 181 ± 19 HU [p<0.01] for the portal vein); however, no significant differences in mean radiodensity values were observed between the CV routine and PA groups (p>0.05). The median peak injection pressure was 73.5, 67, and 47 psi in the CV delay, CV routine, and PA groups, respectively (p<0.01). CONCLUSION The CV port can be used for safe contrast-material injection while maintaining contrast enhancement on portal venous phase comparable to that achieved with peripheral intravenous access.

Abstract
Information on circulating levels of insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) in female domesticated animals is limited, as their concentrations are significantly lower than in males. The objectives of the present study were to 1) develop a sandwich time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) with higher detectability to measure blood INSL3 concentrations in female cattle, 2) determine INSL3 concentrations in female cattle among age groups and reproductive conditions, and 3) explore associations between INSL3 levels and ultrasonographic ovarian measurements. Blood was collected repeatedly from Japanese Black beef female calves (n = 12; 0-8 mo), heifers (n = 10; 10-26 mo), and cows (n = 20; 27-200 mo). Blood was taken from the cows (n = 13) at follicular, post-ovulatory, and luteal phases, and from cows with follicular cysts (n = 12). Ultrasonography of ovaries was conducted in the calves (n = 12) and the cows without ovarian diseases (n = 9). The ovarian area, as well as the number and diameters of antral follicles ≥ 2 mm, were determined in each ovary. The proposed method detected a difference in plasma INSL3 between calves (0.01 ng/mL) and heifers (0.18 ng/mL). However, the conventional assay showed similar levels for calves and heifers (1.82 vs 2.07 ng/mL). Plasma INSL3 and testosterone concentrations increased from calves to heifers (P < 0.0001), but only INSL3 rose from heifers to cows (P < 0.0001). INSL3 and testosterone concentrations did not change across the estrus cycle in cows, and the levels of both hormones in follicular cystic cows did not differ from those in the follicular phase. Ovarian area, maximal and average follicular diameters, and total volume of all follicles per animal were higher in cows than calves (P < 0.001). Plasma INSL3 concentrations correlated positively with the total volumes of all follicles in calves (P < 0.05) and cows (P < 0.05), whereas testosterone concentrations did not correlate with ovarian follicular measurements. In conclusion, plasma INSL3 concentrations measured by the proposed sandwich TRFIA showed a clear increase from female calves to cows in beef cattle. These results suggest that circulating levels of INSL3, but not of testosterone, are associated with the total volume of all antral follicles in both ovaries per animal in female cattle.

Abstract
Malnutrition and cachexia occur commonly in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). This study elucidated the effect of nutritional support (NS) on survival outcomes among patients with AGC undergoing chemotherapy. We retrospectively evaluated new AGC cases at our institute between January 2015 and January 2021. Inclusion criteria were unresectable or recurrent chemotherapy-treated gastric adenocarcinoma, ECOG performance status (PS) 0-2, and adequate organ function. Time to treatment failure (TTF) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated, and univariate and multivariate analyses identified prognostic factors. A total of 103 eligible patients were separated into groups: 69 patients (67%) into NS and 34 (33%) into routine care (RC). The median follow-up time was 11.0 mo, (0.5-92). NS was offered to patients with poorer PS (p = 0.03), Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) positivity (p = 0.001), and high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (cut-off ≤ 3, p = 0.02). Median OS and TTF in the RC and NS groups were 11.6 and 10.4 mo, (p = 0.99) and 4.2 and 5.5 mo, (p = 0.07), respectively. Multivariate analyses identified NS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.53, p = 0.01) and GPS positivity for TTF, and low body mass index (HR = 2.03, p = 0.007) and GPS positivity (HR = 2.25, p = 0.001) for OS as significant prognostic factors. Thus, NS with chemotherapy is a potentially effective intervention for AGC.

Abstract
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), a marker of liver disease, has been shown to be associated with increased risk of diabetes and relative insulin secretion deficiency. However, the mechanism of hepatic Ggt regulation has not been explored fully. In this study, we made a concerted effort to understand the mechanism by investigating the effects of acetylation of histones H3 and H4, and bindings of histone acetyltransferases, CREB binding protein (CBP) and p300, at the Ggt promoter on the regulation of the expression of Ggt gene in the livers of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced moderate hypoinsulinemia rat model. The rats treated with STZ showed remarkably higher serum GGT level and hepatic Ggt/GGT expression than the untreated control rats. Furthermore, the acetylation of histones H3 and H4, and the binding of CBP not p300 at the Ggt promoter regions were significantly higher in the livers of STZ rats than those of the control rats. These results suggest that an enhanced hepatic expression of Ggt is associated with increased acetylation of histones H3 and H4 and CBP binding at the Ggt promoter in STZ-induced moderate hypoinsulinemic rats.

Abstract
Objective We investigated the muscle cramp status of patients with liver cirrhosis by focusing on the degree of liver damage, skeletal muscle mass, and nutritional status. Methods All enrolled patients completed a questionnaire about muscle cramps. The degree of liver damage was examined using the Child-Pugh classification and the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade. The nutritional status and skeletal muscle mass were examined using the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) method and the psoas muscle index (PMI). Results Among the respondents, 55.7% of the patients reported experiencing muscle cramps. An analysis of the two patient groups-those who experienced muscle cramps and those who did not-revealed significant differences in Child-Pugh classification (muscle cramp-positive vs. muscle cramp-negative: A/B/C, 54.1%/32.4%/13.5% vs. 90.0%/10.0%/0.0%; p=0.004), ALBI grade (1/2/3, 20.5%/71.8%/7.7% vs. 54.8%/38.7%/6.5%; p=0.011), modified ALBI grade (1/2a/2b/3, 20.5%/20.5%/51.3%/7.7% vs. 54.8%/22.6%/16.1%/6.5%; p=0.008), CONUT score (normal/mild/moderate/severe, 25.6%/28.2%/41.0%/5.1% vs. 22.6%/61.3%/12.9%/3.2%; p=0.024), and PMI (3.85±1.13 cm2/m2 vs. 4.94±1.86 cm2/m2; p=0.012). Conclusion Our findings suggest that muscle cramps occur more frequently in patients with liver cirrhosis due to their decreased liver function and poorer nutritional status.

Abstract
208 Background: Numerous studies have demonstrated how malnutrition and cachexia are associated with poor survival in advanced gastric cancer (AGC). The impact of nutrition support involving multidisciplinary specialists is unclear, particularly among patients with AGC being treated with chemotherapy. This study aimed to clarify the differences in patient characteristics and survival outcomes between patients receiving nutrition support (NS) and routine care (RC). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 212 consecutive patients with AGC at a single institution between January 2015 and June 2020. Inclusion criteria were: histologically confirmed metastatic or recurrent gastric and adenocarcinoma and gastroesophageal junction patients treated with chemotherapy, ECOG performance status (PS) 0-2, and adequate organ function. Time to treatment failure (TTF) in the entire cohort, patients with a positive Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) (graded as 1 and 2), and hypoalbuminemia (cutoff was 3.5 g/dl) were evaluated. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify whether NS was an independent prognostic factor of time to treatment failure (TTF). Multivariate analysis included variables with p-values ≤0.1 in univariate analyses. Results: A total of 97 patients met the inclusion criteria with 67 (69%) and 30 (31%) patients classified into the RC or NS group, respectively. The median age was 71 years (range, 26-92). The median follow-up time was 8.4 months (range, 0.5-66). Patient characteristics revealed that NS was offered to patients with poorer prognostic nutritional index (PNI) (cutoff was 45, p=0.02), GPS positivity (p=0.01), and high neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (cutoff was 3, p=0.01). In the entire cohort, TTF in the RC and NS groups was 4.3 and 5.3 months (p=0.15), respectively. Among the patients with GPS positivity (graded as 1 and 2) and hypoalbuminemia, TTF in the RC and NS group were 2.3 and 5.0 months (p=0.05), and 2.3 and 5.3 months (p=0.02), respectively (Table). Variables with p-values ≤0.1 in univariate analyses for TTF were PS, NS, and prior gastrectomy. As per multivariate analyses, PS and NS were significant positive prognostic factors for TTF. Conclusions: NS was provided to patients with unfavorable clinical features. Among the AGC patients treated with chemotherapy, having GPS positivity or hypoalbuminemia seems to be a good indication for NS. [Table: see text]

Abstract
Background Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a disorder of unknown etiology in which immune-mediated liver injury progress to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of the present study was to determine whether circulating soluble TIM3 (sTIM3) is elevated in patients with AIH patients and whether sTIM-3 levels are associated with clinical parameters of AIH. Methods We enrolled 123 Japanese patients with AIH who were identified from the National Hospital Organization–AIH-liver–network database, as well as 32 patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), 30 patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and healthy control subjects. Serum sTIM-3 concentrations were quantified by ELISA. Results Serum levels of sTIM-3 were significantly higher in AIH patients (median 4865 pg/ml; [interquartile range (IQR); 3122–7471]) compared to those in CHC (1026 pg/ml [IQR: 806–1283] p<0.001), PBC (2395 pg/ml [IQR: 2012–3422] p<0.001) or healthy controls (1285 pg/ml [IQR: 1098–1812] p<0.001). In AIH group, serum sTIM-3 were correlated with alanine aminotransferase (ALT), or total bilirubin (TB) and negatively correlated with serum levels of albumin (Alb). Serum levels of sTIM-3 were also strongly correlated with Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) levels, but did not correlate with the histological grade of liver fibrosis. Steroid treatment of AIH patients significantly reduced serum sTIM-3 levels (2147±623pg/ml versus 1321±378pg/ml, p<0.001). Conclusions Circulating sTIM-3 levels were elevated in AIH patients and are associated with AIH disease activity and AIH-related liver damage. These findings indicate that serum sTIM-3 correlated with disease status of AIH and could be useful biomarkers to detect autoimmune-mediated liver injury. Our data suggest a possible link between the TIM-3/GAL-9 pathway and AIH severity or phenotype, and further investigations of the TIM-3 pathway and AIH pathophysiology is warranted.

Abstract
There is growing evidence supporting the effectiveness of a comprehensive school health program. However, implementation in developing countries is a challenge. Furthermore, the available information on the association between a comprehensive school health program and students' academic attainment is limited. In Kenya, a project to verify the effects of a comprehensive school health program was carried out in Mbita sub-county, Homa Bay County from September 2012 to August 2017. This study aimed to clarify the improvement of school health during the project years and the association between school health and students' academic attainment. Primary schools in Mbita sub-county were selected as study sites. We assessed 44 schools' scores on a school health checklist developed from the Kenyan Comprehensive School Health Program, the students' mean score on the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE), and absenteeism during the project years (2013-16). The mean school health checklist score (n = 44 schools) was 135.6 in 2013, 169.9 in 2014, 158.2 in 2015 and 181.3 in 2016. The difference of the mean score between 2013 and 2016 was significant. In addition, correlation analysis showed a significant association between mean KCPE score in the project years and school health checklist score (Pearson's coefficient was 0.43, p = 0.004). The results of this study suggest improvements of school health by the implementation of the Kenyan Comprehensive School Health Program and students' academic attainment.

Abstract
The Kenyan government established the Kenyan Comprehensive School Health Program (KCSHP) on the basis of Kenyan National School Health Policy. A KCSHP pilot project was carried out in eight primary schools in Mbita Sub-County of Homa Bay County in the Nyanza Region from 2012 to 2017. This pilot project provided health facilities and support for evaluation with a school health checklist, and organized teacher training on health education, a child health club, and school-based health check-ups. The present study aimed to examine the appropriateness and reliability of the strategy of the second KCSHP pilot project in Kenya. We analyzed data from self-administered questionnaires targeted at pupils in seventh-grade in the eight primary schools. The questionnaire consisted of questions on health-related knowledge, attitudes and practices, self-evaluated physical and mental health status, self-awareness of health control, subjective happiness, recognition on the importance of learning about health in school, absenteeism, and sense of school belongingness. The project contributed to improving health-related knowledge, attitudes and practices, self-evaluated health status, sense of school belongingness, recognition on the importance of learning about health in school, self-awareness of health control, and absenteeism. On the contrary, subjective happiness did not improve significantly.

Abstract
Background—The changes in cardiac function that occur after pericardiocentesis are unclear.Purpose—This study was performed to assess right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) function with echocardiography before and after pericardiocentesis.
Method and Results—In total, 19 consecutive patients who underwent pericardiocentesis for more than moderate pericardial effusion were prospectively enrolled from August 2015 to October 2017. Comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography was performed before, immediately after (within 3 hours), and 1 day after pericardiocentesis to investigate the changes in RV and LV function. RV dysfunction is defined as meeting three of the four criteria: a TAPSE of <17 mm, an S’ of <9.5 cm, an FAC of <35%, and an RV free wall longitudinal strain >−20%. The mean age of all patients was 72.6 ± 12.2 years. The changes of echocardiographic parameters related to RV function are shown in Table. After pericardiocentesis, RV inflow and outflow diameters increased and the parameters of RV function significantly decreased. These abnormal values or RV dysfunction remained at 1 day after pericardiocentesis. Conversely, no parameters of LV function parameters changed after pericardiocentesis. Of 19 patients, 13 patients showed RV dysfunction immediately after pericardiocentesis and 6 patients did not. RV free wall longitudinal strain before pericardiocentesis was higher in patients with post-procedural RV dysfunction (−18.9 ± 3.6%) than in those without (−28.4 ± 6.3%). ROC analysis revealed that a RV free wall longitudinal strain cut-off value of −23.0% had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 83.3% for predicting the occurrence of RV dysfunction after pericardiocentesis (AUC = 0.910).
Conclusions—The occurrence of RV dysfunction after pericardiocentesis should be given more attention. Pre-existing RV dysfunction maybe related to the occurrence of RV dysfunction after pericardiocentesis.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Whereas fenestration at Fontan operation was reported to be effective for smooth initiation to Fontan circulation, subsequently developed aortopulmonary collateral arteries under the presence of remaining hypoxia were a matter of concern.So as our institutional policy, it is closed as much and early as possible (temporary fenestration). This study aimed to reveal long-term outcomes for patients at riskswho underwent Fontan operation with temporary fenestration.
Methods
Of 107 patients undergoing Fontan operation from 1995 to 2004, 79 patients (73.8%) were free from any risks (NR group) and 28 patients (26.2%) had risks for Fontan operation (R group). Hypoplastic left heart syndrome, heterotaxy syndrome with obstructive total anomalous of pulmonary venous connection, and individual cases with high preoperative pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), systemic ventricular end diastolic pressure (SVEDP) or low ejection fraction (SVEF) were defined as a risk for Fontan completion.Age at Fontan operation was older in R group (6.6 vs 2.3years-old, p = 0.0004). Preoperative PAP (12.8 vs 11.3mmHg, p = 0.03) and SVEDP (8.8 vs 7.1mmHg, p = 0.02) were higher and SVEF (53.7 vs 60.0%, p = 0.002) was lower in R group. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was not different. Fenestration was created in all patients in R group, then it was closed at the mean duration of 2.9 years after Fontan operation.
Results
Freedom from death or protein-losing enteropathy rate at 5, 10, and 15 years after Fontan operation were 97, 96, and 93% in NR group and 96, 93, and 86% in R group (log-rank: p = 0.20). Fifty-one patients (64.6%) in NR group and 17 patients (60.7%) in R group underwent serial catheter examinations at 5, 10, and 15 years after Fontan operation and exercise capacity testing at 15 years after Fontan operation (Figure). In R group, arterial oxygen saturation was lower and PVR was higher even after close of fenestration (Figure). In addition, 12 patients (71%) in R group developed significant veno-venous collaterals, which were defined by more than 3mm in diameter of collateral veins or a condition where pulmonary veins were contrasted in venography. On the contrary, cardiac index (CI), SVEDP, and PAP were not different and no significant difference on peak oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold were observed between in 2 groups.
Conclusions
Although the mild cyanosis remained due to the development of veno-venous collaterals after the closure of temporary fenestration, CI, SVEDP and PAP well maintained in patients at risk for Fontan operation. These results might to lead acceptable life prognosis and freedom fromprotein-losing enteropathy rate for patients at risk for Fontan operation.

Abstract
High levels of fructose induce hypertriglyceridemia, characterized by excessive levels of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins such as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL); however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The aim of this short communication was to examine hepatic changes in the expression of genes related to cholesterol metabolism in rats with hypertriglyceridemia induced by high-fructose or high-glucose diets. Rats were fed a 65 % (w/w) glucose diet or a 65 % (w/w) fructose diet for 12 days. Serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and VLDL+LDL-cholesterol, hepatic levels of triglycerides and cholesterol, and ACAT2 expression at the gene and protein levels were significantly higher in the fructose diet group compared to the glucose diet group. The hepatic levels of Abcg5/8 were lower in the fructose group than in the glucose group. Serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and hepatic expression levels of Hmgcr, Ldlr, Acat1, Mttp, Apob, and Cyp7a1 did not differ significantly between groups. These findings suggest that high-fructose diet-induced hypertriglyceridemia is associated with increased hepatic ACAT2 expression.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Recent evidences have demonstrated that coagulation pathway is involved in cardiovascular remodeling induced by renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which finally leads to heart failure. Protease activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) is widely expressed in the vasculature and the heart, and plays important roles in pro-inflammatory process in the cardiovascular system. Recently, we demonstrated that the activity of factor Xa (FXa), which functions not only as a coagulation factor but as an agonist for PAR-1, was enhanced in renin-overexpressing hypertensive mice (Ren-Tg).
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether inhibition of PAR-1 signaling has protective effects on the progression of heart failure induced by chronic RAS activation in Ren-Tg.
Methods and results
We treated 12–16 weeks-old male wild type mice (WT) and Ren-Tg with continuous subcutaneous infusion of PAR-1 antagonist SCH79797 (25mg/kg/day) or vehicle for 4 weeks. After treatment period, left ventricular (LV) wall thickness calculated as interventricular septum plus posterior wall thickness measured by echocardiography was greater in Ren-Tg than in WT (0.25±0.003 versus 0.18±0.002 mm), and SCH79797 attenuated the increase to 0.22±0.01 mm in Ren-Tg (both p<0.05, respectively). The ratio of heart weight to body weight was greater in Ren-Tg than in WT (6.1±0.4 versus 4.6±0.7 mg/g), and SCH79797 attenuated the increase to 5.2±0.1 mg/g (both p<0.05). The area of cardiac fibrosis evaluated by Masson-trichrome staining was greater in Ren-Tg than in WT (2.6±0.2 versus 1.4±0.3%), and SCH79797 attenuated it to 1.6±0.3% in Ren-Tg (both p<0.05). Cardiac mRNA expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-β1, and β-myosin heavy chain were all greater in Ren-Tg than in WT, and SCH79797 attenuated the increases in Ren-Tg (all p<0.05).
Conclusions
Inhibition of PAR-1 signaling attenuates cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in Ren-Tg via inhibition of inflammatory cytokines production. These results support the involvement of PAR signaling in the development of heart failure induced by RAS, and may provide novel therapeutic insights for the treatment of hypertensive heart failure.

Abstract
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a disorder of unknown etiology in which immune-mediated liver damage progresses to cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The mainstay therapy for AIH is steroids and other immunosuppressive treatments. Currently, there are no validated markers for monitoring immune-mediated hepatic inflammation. Galectin-9 has recently been identified as a potential biomarker in patients with chronic liver disease. The objective of this study was to determine whether Galectin-9 and other serum proteins are associated with active disease in AIH patients.We enrolled 77 Japanese patients with well-documented AIH who were identified from the National Hospital Organization-AIH-liver-network database, as well as 32 patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC), 27 patients with SLE, and 17 healthy control subjects. Serum levels of galectin-9, and markers of liver injury were measured and compared between groups.Serum levels of galectin-9 were significantly higher in AIH patients than in CHC patients (13.8 ± 4.9 ng/mL vs 8.9 ± 3.0 ng/mL, P < .001) or healthy controls (13.8 ± 4.9 ng/mL vs 5.0 ± 1.3 ng/mL, P < .001). In AIH group, serum galectin-9 levels weakly correlated with alanine aminotransferase levels or total bilirubin (TB) and strongly correlated with C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10) and Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) levels, but did not correlate with the histological grade of liver fibrosis. Steroid treatment of AIH patients significantly reduced serum galectin-9 levels (14.1 ± 4.9 ng/mL vs 8.3 ± 3.8 ng/mL, P < .001). SLE patients exhibited higher galectin-9 levels, whereas the galectin-9 levels did not correlate with liver function tests such as alanine aminotransferase levels.Serum galectin-9 correlated with disease status in AIH patients and could thus be useful biomarkers to detect hepatic autoimmunity. Because circulating galectin-9 reflects autoimmune-mediated inflammation, it may have additional utility as a biomarker for other autoimmune disorders.

Abstract
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an autoimmune liver disease and cirrhosis is sometimes complicated with AIH at diagnosis, influencing its prognosis. TNFAIP3 gene encodes A20, an inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB pathway, and is a susceptibility gene for autoimmune diseases. We investigated deleterious variants in the coding regions of TNFAIP3 gene of Japanese AIH patients or those with cirrhosis. The deleterious variants in the coding regions of TNFAIP3 gene were analyzed by the cycle sequencing method and the frequencies of deleterious TNFAIP3 alleles of AIH or AIH with cirrhosis were compared with those of Japanese controls. The deleterious alleles in TNFAIP3 were not associated with AIH. A significant association was shown for the deleterious alleles in TNFAIP3 (P = 0.0180, odds ratio (OR) 4.28, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.53-11.95) with AIH with cirrhosis at presentation. The serum IgM levels in AIH patients with deleterious alleles in TNFAIP3 were tended to be lower than those without (P = 0.0152, Q = 0.1216). The frequency of deleterious alleles in TNFAIP3 was higher in the AIH subset without the DRB1 risk alleles than that with (P = 0.0052, OR 5.10, 95%CI 1.55-16.74). The deleterious alleles in TNFAIP3were associated with AIH with cirrhosis.

Abstract
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic and cholestatic autoimmune liver disease caused by the destruction of intrahepatic small bile ducts. Our previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified six susceptibility loci for PBC. Here, in order to further elucidate the genetic architecture of PBC, a GWAS was performed on an additional independent sample set, then a genome-wide meta-analysis with our previous GWAS was performed based on a whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) imputation analysis of a total of 4,045 Japanese individuals (2,060 cases and 1,985 healthy controls). A susceptibility locus on chromosome 3q13.33 (including ARHGAP31, TMEM39A, POGLUT1, TIMMDC1, and CD80) was previously identified both in the European and Chinese populations and was replicated in the Japanese population (OR = 0.7241, P = 3.5 × 10-9). Subsequent in silico and in vitro functional analyses identified rs2293370, previously reported as the top-hit SNP in this locus in the European population, as the primary functional SNP. Moreover, e-QTL analysis indicated that the effector gene of rs2293370 was Protein O-Glucosyltransferase 1 (POGLUT1) (P = 3.4 × 10-8). This is the first study to demonstrate that POGLUT1 and not CD80 is the effector gene regulated by the primary functional SNP rs2293370, and that increased expression of POGLUT1 might be involved in the pathogenesis of PBC.

Abstract
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an autoimmune liver disease that is characterized by a progressive destruction of the liver parenchyma and the development of liver fibrosis. We aimed to examine the relationship between circulating cytokines/chemokines and the Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) levels in Japanese patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH).We investigated the relationship between circulating cytokines/chemokines and M2BPGi levels in Japanese patients with AIH. Seventy-seven patients with well-documented AIH were enrolled in the National Hospital Organization (NHO)-AIH-liver-network database. We measured the serum levels of 20 cytokines in 31 selected AIH patients before and after steroid treatment using multisuspension cytokine array.Eleven cytokines and soluble adhesion molecules were increased in untreated AIH patients compared with treated AIH patients. Among these cytokines and soluble adhesion molecules, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) were most downregulated by steroid therapy in AIH patients. We measured serum sICAM-1 and IP-10 by ELISA and found the levels were significantly higher in AIH patients (n = 77) compared with chronic viral hepatitis C patients (n = 32). Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between sICAM-1 or IP-10 and alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, and circulating M2BPGi levels. M2BPGi levels were increased in AIH patients with high stages of liver fibrosis. Additionally, M2BPGi levels were correlated with the histological grade of inflammation in AIH. Circulating M2BPGi levels were significantly reduced by steroid treatment in AIH patients.sICAM-1 and IP-10 are useful markers to assess immune-mediated hepatitis activity in AIH and they correlate with circulating M2BPGi. Serum M2BPGi levels increased in untreated AIH patients with active hepatitis and were decreased by steroid therapy. M2BPGi reflects autoimmune-mediated hepatic inflammation as well as liver fibrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Condyloma acuminatum (CA) is a common sexually transmitted disease associated with human papilloma virus (HPV). CA occurring in the urethra is rare and has not been reported in male renal transplant recipients. In addition, despite immunosuppressive conditions and increased risk of HPV-related malignant neoplasms in transplant recipients, HPV testing in male transplant recipients has been uncommon. Here we report a case of urethral CA in a male deceased donor renal transplantation recipient and discuss the importance of HPV testing in male transplant recipients. CASE PRESENTATION A 33-year-old male deceased donor renal transplant recipient presented with miction pain 5 years after the transplantation. He reported repeated urinary tract infections with no sexual contact since the renal transplantation. Multiple papillary tumors in his penile urethra were detected by cystoscopy, and a biopsy sample was pathologically diagnosed with CA. Transurethral tumor resection was performed, and the tumors were completely resected. Additional HPV risk type screening with a urethral smear sample showed the prevalence of low-risk HPV. Although tacrolimus was switched to everolimus and imiquimod cream was administered, the tumors recurred 6 months after the resection, and a second resection was performed. No further recurrence has been observed for 1 year to date. CONCLUSION As the urethral CA was possibly related to immunosuppressive conditions and a risk for HPV-related malignant neoplasm, the case required careful diagnosis, including HPV risk type. The methodology of sampling for HPV testing in men has not been established. This case suggests the necessity for further discussion about HPV testing in male transplant recipients.

Abstract
To isolate a large number of porcine hepatocytes, we originally developed a mass preparation method that combined the usual collagenase perfusion method of a whole liver with a collagenase redigestion method of tissue fragments after liver perfusion. Using a pig of 10kg, collagenase perfusion only resulted in a yield of 63 ± 78 x 108 total cells with a viability of 69.2 ± 25.3 %, but our combined method had a yield of 167 ± 31 x 108 total cells with a viability of 87.9 ± 4.4 % (mean ± SD). Also, the combined method was applied to two pigs of 10kg body weight at the same time, and isolated 387 ± 89 x 108 hepatocytes with a viability of 87.1 ± 6.9 % and a purity of 93.6 ± 2.8 % in 11 experiments. We designed a large multi-capillary polyurethane foam (MC-PUF) packed-bed module containing 1 x 1010 porcine hepatocytes on a clinical trial scale. The porcine hepatocytes in the module formed spherical multicellular aggregates (spheroids) of 200 – 500 μm diameter. Most hepatocytes forming spheroids were viable judged by fluorescein diacetate and ethidium bromide staining. The activities of ammonia removal, albumin secretion and oxygen consumption of the large MC-PUF module were the same as for a small MC-PUF module containing 2 x 108 porcine hepatocytes, and were maintained for at least 9 days of culture. These results show that a large MC-PUF module is successfully scaled up 50 times. In conclusion, we succeeded in developing a mass preparation method of porcine hepatocytes and a large hybrid artificial liver module on a clinical trial scale.

Abstract
Primary dog hepatocytes spontaneously formed spheroids in the pores of polyurethane foam (PUF) within 1–2 days of stationary culture. The spheroids, about 100–150 μm in diameter, partly attached to the surface and immobilized inside these pores. The lidocaine disappearance rate decreased to about 4 μg/105 viable cells/day for 10 days, while in the PUF/spheroid culture the rate was maintained at almost the initial level of 8 μg/105 viable cells/day for 10 days. Then, two scales of PUF packed-bed modules were designed. A small module (PUF volume; 14.5 cm3) was used for in vitro culture to investigate optimum culture conditions, and a large module (PUF volume; 300 cm3) was designed for dog experiments. Hepatocytes inoculated in these modules also formed spheroids and maintained almost the same activity of albumin secretion rate (111 μg/cm3 PUF/day in the small module and 87.7 μg/cm3 PUF/day in the large module). These results indicate that the PUF packed-bed module containing hepatocyte-spheroids is promising as a hybrid artificial liver

Abstract
Nafamostat mesilate (FUT) is a protease inhibitor of complement activation. The present study investigates whether FUT protects porcine hepatocytes from being injured by human plasma in a multi-capillary polyurethane foam packed-bed culture system (MC-PUF) such as the hybrid-artificial liver (PUF-HAL). Human plasmas with 1 mM of added ammonia were perfused using a small-scale PUF-HAL with porcine hepatocytes. FUT was continuously infused (10 μ g/ml, 50 μ g/ml,). The ammonia detoxification was maintained in human plasma for 24 hours and for 48 hours with FUT which suppressed the rapid increase of asparaginic acid aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). After 60 hours of perfusion, hepatocyte spheroids completely collapsed in the human plasma, but a small amount of hepatocyte spheroid was maintained by FUT. The effect of FUT was slightly greater at 50 μ g/ml than at 10 μ g/ml. Our results suggest that FUT has protective effects against porcine hepatocytes in human plasma, and our PUF-HAL using porcine hepatocytes can function in human plasma for about 48 hours with FUT.

Abstract
We studied the effects of a hybrid artificial liver support system we developed on dogs with hepatic failure. The system consisted of a multi-channel polyurethane foam packed-bed culture module, including primary dog hepatocyte spheroids. Blood ammonia was well metabolized by 20 g hepatocytes, but the other functions such as glucose concentration, total bile acid concentration, and survival time required 30 g hepatocytes to improve conditions. We found that we should use a culture substratum that easily forms spheroids, and that an artificial liver module should be used as soon as possible after spheroid formation by hepatocytes in the module.
