Abstract
BACKGROUND Reducing the environmental impact of the food supply is important for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide. Previously, we developed the Traditional Japanese Diet Score (TJDS) and reported in a global ecological study that the Japanese diet is associated with reducing obesity and extending healthy life expectancy etc. We then examined the relationship between the TJDS and environmental indicators. METHODS The average food (g/day/capita) and energy supplies (kcal/day/capita) by country were obtained from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Statistics Division database. The TJDS was calculated from eight food groups (beneficial food components in the Japanese diet: rice, fish, soybeans, vegetables, and eggs; food components that are relatively unused in the traditional Japanese diet: wheat, milk, and red meat) by country using tertiles, and calculated the total score from - 8 to 8, with higher scores meaning greater adherence to the TJDS. We used Land Use (m2), Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 2007/2013 (kg CO2eq), Acidifying emissions (g SO2eq), Eutrophying emissions (g PO43- eq), Freshwater (L), and water use (L) per food weight by Poore et al. as the environmental indicators and multiplied these indicators by each country's average food supply. We evaluated the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between the TJDS and environmental indicators from 2010 to 2020. This study included 151 countries with populations ≥ 1 million. RESULTS Land use (β ± standard error; -0.623 ± 0.161, p < 0.001), GHG 2007 (-0.149 ± 0.057, p < 0.05), GHG 2013 (-0.183 ± 0.066, p < 0.01), Acidifying (-1.111 ± 0.369, p < 0.01), and Water use (-405.903 ± 101.416, p < 0.001) were negatively associated with TJDS, and Freshwater (45.116 ± 7.866, p < 0.001) was positively associated with TJDS after controlling for energy supply and latitude in 2010. In the longitudinal analysis, Land Use (β ± standard error; -0.116 ± 0.027, p < 0.001), GHG 2007 (-0.040 ± 0.010, p < 0.001), GHG 2013 (-0.048 ± 0.011, p < 0.001), Acidifying (-0.280 ± 0.064, p < 0.001), Eutrophying (-0.132 ± 0.062, p < 0.05), and Water use (-118.246 ± 22.826, p < 0.001) were negatively associated with TJDS after controlling for confounders. CONCLUSIONS This ecological study suggests that the traditional Japanese dietary pattern might improve SDGs except Fresh water.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Studies conducted on Japanese people have suggested that a traditional Japanese diet contributes to good health, longevity, and protection against several non-communicable diseases. However, it is unknown whether traditional Japanese dietary patterns are associated with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and cancer mortality globally. The purpose of this cross-sectional and longitudinal ecological study is to clarify the global association between the traditional Japanese diet score (TJDS) and all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and total cancer mortality. METHODS Data on food supply and all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease mortality, total cancer mortality, and covariables by country were obtained from a relevant internationally available database. TJDS by country was calculated from eight food groups and the total score ranged from -8 to 8, with higher scores indicating greater adherence to a traditional Japanese diet. We evaluated the cross-sectional and 10-year longitudinal association between TJDS and all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and total cancer mortality using 2009 as the baseline in 142 countries with populations of more than one million. A cross-sectional analysis and a longitudinal analysis were performed using three general linear models or three linear mixed models with different covariables. RESULTS In cross-sectional models controlled for fully-adjusted covariables, TJDS was negatively associated with all-cause mortality (β ± standard error; -43.819 ± 11.741, p < 0.001), cardiovascular disease mortality (-22.395 ± 4.638, p < 0.001), and total cancer mortality (-3.893 ± 1.048, p < 0.001). In 10-year longitudinal models controlled for fully-adjusted covariables, TJDS was significantly negatively associated with all-cause mortality (-31.563 ± 7.695, p < 0.001), cardiovascular disease mortality (-16.249 ± 4.054, p < 0.001), and total cancer mortality (-3.499 ± 0.867, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This cross-sectional and longitudinal ecological study suggests that the traditional Japanese diet is associated with lower all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease mortality, and total cancer mortality, worldwide.

Abstract
The relationship between egg consumption and ischemic heart disease (IHD) remains controversial as there is still no clear answer regarding the relationship, with research limited to a few geographical regions. In the current study, we conducted a longitudinal analysis of the association between egg intake and IHD incidence (IHDi) and mortality (IHDd) using 28 years of international data from 1990 to 2018. Egg intake (g/day/capita) by country was obtained from the Global Dietary Database. Age-standard IHDi and IHDd rates per 100,000 subjects in each country were obtained from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease database. The analysis included a total of 142 countries with populations of at least one million, for which all data were available from 1990 to 2018. Eggs are consumed worldwide, and regional differences in consumption are also shown. Utilizing IHDi and IHDd as objective variables and egg intake as an explanatory variable, the analysis was conducted using linear mixed models, which controlled for inter- and intra-country variation from year to year. The results showed a significant negative association between egg intake, and IHDi (-0.253 ± 0.117, p < 0.05) and IHDd (-0.359 ± 0.137, p < 0.05). The analysis was carried out using R 4.0.5. The results suggest that adequate egg intake might suppress IHDi and IHDd on a global scale.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the prevalence of post coronavirus disease (COVID-19) condition of the Omicron variant in comparison to other strains. Study design A single-center cross-sectional study. Methods Patients who recovered from Omicron COVID-19 infection (Omicron group) were interviewed via telephone, and patients infected with other strains (control group) were surveyed via a self-reporting questionnaire. Data on patients’ characteristics, information regarding the acute-phase COVID-19, as well as presence and duration of COVID-19-related symptoms were obtained. Post COVID-19 condition in this study was defined as a symptom that lasted for at least 2 months, within 3 months of COVID-19 onset. We investigated and compared the prevalence of post COVID-19 condition in both groups after performing propensity score matching. Results We conducted interviews for 53 out of 128 patients with Omicron and obtained 502 responses in the control group. After matching cases with controls, 18 patients from both groups had improved covariate balance of the factors: older adult, female sex, obesity, and vaccination status. There were no significant differences in the prevalence of each post COVID-19 condition between the two groups. The number of patients with at least one post COVID-19 condition in the Omicron and control groups were 1 (5.6%) and 10 (55.6%) (p = 0.003), respectively. Conclusions The prevalence of post Omicron COVID-19 conditions was less than that of the other strains. Further research with a larger sample size is needed to investigate the precise epidemiology of post COVID-19 condition of Omicron, and its impact on health-related quality of life and social productivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Extending healthy life expectancy (HALE), defined as the average number of years that a person can expect to live in "full health" by taking into account years lived in less than full health due to disease and/or injury, is a common topic worldwide. This study aims to clarify the relationships between the Mediterranean diet score (MDS) and life expectancy (LE) and HALE globally using publicly available international data. SETTING Analyses were conducted on 130 countries with populations of 1 million or more for which all data were available. Individual countries were scored from 0 to 9 to indicate adherence to the Mediterranean diet according to the MDS scoring method. The supply of vegetables, legumes, fruits and nuts, cereals, fish, and olive oil per 1,000 kcal per country was calculated based on the Food and Agriculture Organization Corporate Statistical Database, with a score of 1 for above the median and 0 for below. The same method was used to calculate scores of presumed detrimental components (meat and dairy), with consumption below the median given a value of 1, and consumption above the median given a value of 0. For ethanol, a score of 1 was given for 10g to 50 g of consumption. We investigated the cross-sectional associations between the MDS and LE and HALE at birth in 2009, and the longitudinal associations between the MDS in 2009 and LE and HALE between 2009 and 2019, controlling for covariates at baseline using linear mixed models. RESULTS In the cross-sectional analysis, the MDS was significantly positively associated with LE (β=0.906 [95% confidence interval, 0.065-1.747], p=0.037) and HALE (β=0.875 [0.207-1.544], p=0.011) after controlling for all covariates. The longitudinal analysis also revealed significantly positive associations between the MDS and LE (0.621 [0.063-1.178], p=0.030) and HALE (0.694 [0.227-1.161], p=0.004) after controlling for all covariates. CONCLUSION The present study, based on an analysis using 10 years of international data, showed that countries with a higher MDS showed a positive association with HALE.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Folate deficiency increases serum homocysteine and may cause cognitive impairment. However, there have been no international longitudinal studies that examined the association between folic acid intake and dementia. We investigated the longitudinal association between folate intake and the prevalence of dementia using global data during 27 years.
Methods
Prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias and folic acid intake by country were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2017 database. The longitudinal associations between folic acid intake and prevalence of dementia was examined using linear mixed effect model during 27 years from 1990 to 2017 in 151countries with populations of 1 million or greater. The effects of folic acid, year and interaction of folic acid and year were estimated controlling for covariates including socio-economic variables and life-style variables.
Results
Fixed effects of folic acid was highly significant (mean and SE; -33.1±7.1, p < 0.001) and interaction of folic acid and survey year was also significant (0.90±0.13, p < 0.001). Slope of folic acid for dementia prevalence was significant in 1990 and the slope has decreased with the year and has become not significant after 2011.
Conclusions
Folic acid was associated with the prevalence of dementia, but weakened over the years.
Key messages
Although folic acid intake has been associated with the of dementia, the risk of dementia may be increasingly related to factors other than nutrition.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Traditional Japanese diets are considered to be one cause of Japanese health and longevity. We created a Traditional Japanese Diet Score (TJDS) and investigated the relationship between the TJDS and cancer during more than 20 years using global database.
Methods
Total cancer incidence and mortality by country were identified from the Global Burden of Disease 2017 database. Average food supply (g/day/capita) and energy supply (kcal/day/capita) by country were obtained from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations database. The TJDS by country was calculated from nine food groups, the higher scores mean the more adherence to traditional Japanese diet. That is beneficial food groups (rice, fish, soybeans, vegetables, eggs, seaweed) gave positive points to high supply amount, and food groups not commonly used in the Japanese diet (wheat, milk, and red meat) gave minus points to high supply amount. The longitudinal associations between the TJDS and cancer incidence and mortality controlled for covariates were examined during 23 years from 1990 to 2013. The country covered by this study was 139 countries with populations of 1 million or greater.
Results
The TJDS was negatively associated with cancer incidence and mortality longitudinally in a linear mixed-effect model controlled for covariates.
Conclusions
These results suggest that greater adherence with the TJDS supressed cancer incidence and mortality worldwide.
Key messages
Well-balanced eating habits like traditional Japanese diets is important for suppressing cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to clarify the global relationship between the Mediterranean diet score (MDS) and country-wise incidence and mortality of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) using an international database. METHODS We used population data from a global longitudinal database covering 137 countries with a population of over one million. MDS were evaluated based on the total score of the nine foods that comprise the Mediterranean diet. The incidence and mortality of IHD by country was derived from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database. Average food (g/day/capita) and energy supply (kcal/day/capita) by country, excluding loss between production and household, were obtained from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Statistics Division database. Data from the GBD database were used for body mass index, current smoking rates, physical activity, years of education and percentage of the Muslim population. We identified the percentage of the population over 65 years of age (aging rate) and gross domestic product per capita (US$/capita) using the World Bank database. A linear mixed-effect model was used for evaluating the effects of MDS on incidence and mortality of IHD controlled for socioeconomic and lifestyle variables. RESULTS Analysis showed that MDS was significantly associated with IHD incidence after controlling for covariates (-1.01 ± 0.27, P < 0.001). Similarly, there was a significant association between MDS and IHD-related mortality after controlling for covariates (-0.73 ± 0.34, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Analysis of 27 years of data suggests that a Mediterranean diet might have a preventive effect on IHD.

Abstract
Background There is a need for global public health strategies to effectively curb the ever-growing global diabetes population. This longitudinal ecological study was conducted to elucidate the country-specific trends of the age-standardised prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and their association with socioeconomic, lifestyle and health indicators. Methods Data pertaining to the age-standardised prevalence of T2DM (rates per 100 000) and socioeconomic, lifestyle and health indicators were obtained from several international databases. Data available from 1990 to 2017 for 139 countries with populations of 1 million or greater were analysed, followed by estimation of slopes for T2DM prevalence in each country. The longitudinal association between T2DM and the standardised variables of socioeconomic, lifestyle and health indicators was fitted using a generalised linear mixed-effects model with random intercept for each country and random slope for year. Results The country-specific age-standardised prevalence of T2DM decreased significantly in 9 countries, remained unchanged in 11 countries and increased significantly in 119 countries. The estimated standardised effect of age-standardised education for T2DM was the largest at −524.5 (SE; 109.9), followed by −514.8 (SE; 95.6) for physical activity and 398.8 (SE; 45.8) for body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.0001 for all). Conclusions The factors largely associated with global T2DM prevalence and trends were years of education, followed by physical activity and BMI. This study also provides basic resources for examining public health approaches to curb the increase in global T2DM prevalence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The traditional Japanese diet is considered one of the important factors of health and longevity in Japanese people. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the world. However, the association between the traditional Japanese diet and breast cancer is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the longitudinal association between the traditional Japanese diet score (TJDS) with the incidence and mortality of breast cancer in an ecological study. METHODS Food supply and breast cancer incidence and mortality by country were obtained from an international database. TJDS by country was calculated from nine food groups and the total score ranged from -9 to 9, with higher scores indicating greater adherence to a traditional Japanese diet. Longitudinal associations of interaction between TJDS and fiscal year on breast cancer incidence and mortality were investigated in 139 countries with populations of 1 million or greater. The longitudinal analysis was evaluated using four linear mixed-effect models with different adjustment covariables. RESULTS Many countries with high scores on TJDS had lower distributions of breast cancer incidence and mortality in 1990-2017. Longitudinal analysis using a linear mixed-effect model controlled for socio-economic and lifestyle covariables showed that the interaction between TJDS and fiscal year was significantly associated with incidence of breast cancer (-0.453 ± 0.138, p < 0.01) and mortality of breast cancer (-0.455 ± 0.135, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This longitudinal analysis suggested that a traditional Japanese diet has been associated with lower breast cancer incidence and mortality worldwide in recent years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We created a Traditional Japanese Diet Score (TJDS), and to clarify the relationship between TJDS and obesity, ischemic heart disease (IHD), and healthy life expectancy (HALE). DESIGN Ecological study. SETTING Food (g/day/capita) and energy (kcal/day/capita) supply was determined using the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Statistics Division database. The sum of characteristic traditional Japanese foods (beneficial food components in the Japanese diet: rice, fish, soybeans, vegetables, eggs, and seaweeds; food components rarely used in the Japanese diet: wheat, milk, and red meat) was divided as tertiles (beneficial food components: -1, 0, 1; rarely used food components: 1, 0, -1). Obesity rate was determined using the World Health Organization database. Incidence of IHD, HALE and smoking rate were determined using the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2015 database. Gross domestic product per capita, percentage of population > 65 years old, and health expenditure were determined using the World Bank database. Education years were obtained from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Institute for Statistics. Associations between TJDS and obesity, IHD and HALE were examined in 132 countries with a population of 1 million or greater using a general linear model controlled for co-variables. RESULTS TJDS was distributed from -6 to 7. TJDS was inversely correlated to obesity (β±SE; -0.70±0.19, p<0.001), IHD (-19.4±4.3, p<0.001), and positively correlated to HALE (0.40±0.14, p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS TJDS is a good indicator of a healthy diet, and applies to preventing obesity, IHD and extending HALE.

Abstract
Low bone mineral density and rapid bone loss of the skeleton are associated with mortality risk from vascular diseases in post-menopausal women. Panoramic radiographic measurements are considered as indicators of skeletal bone mineral density or bone turnover. We hypothesize that such measurements may be associated with vascular disease risk in post-menopausal women. Associations of mandibular cortical shape and width on panoramic radiographs with skeletal bone mineral density and risk factors related to vascular diseases were investigated in 87 post-menopausal women. Cortical shape was associated with skeletal bone mineral density, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, resting heart rate, and endothelial dysfunction. Cortical width was associated with skeletal bone mineral density, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and apolipoprotein A1. Dentists may be able to refer women with increased risk of vascular diseases, as well as low bone mineral density, to medical professionals for further examination by panoramic findings.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy due to vasculitis without any complications of vasculitis in other organs was first reported in 1987. This condition was termed non-systemic vasculitic neuropathy (NSVN). Although vasculitis is believed to develop in small arteries and arterioles in this disease, the level of vascular involvement has not been fully established. We present a case of NSVN followed up by MR angiography, which was thought to be useful to assess the level as well as the state of vascular lesions in this condition.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Essentials Two groups recently reported GFI1B as a novel causative gene for congenital macrothrombocytopenia. We performed functional analysis of a novel GFI1B mutation and previous mutations. An immunofluorescence analysis of the platelet CD34 expression can be useful as a screening test. Mutant-transduced megakaryocytes produced enlarged proplatelet tips which were reduced in number. SUMMARY Background GFI1B is an essential transcription factor for megakaryocyte and erythrocyte development. Two groups have recently identified GFI1B as a novel causative gene for congenital macrothrombocytopenia associated with α-granule deficiency. Methods We performed whole exome sequencing and identified a novel GFI1B p.G272fsX274 mutation in a family with macrothrombocytopenia, and a decreased number of platelet α-granules and abnormally shaped red blood cells. p.G272fsX274 and the previous two mutations all predicted disruption of an essential DNA-binding domain in GFI1B. We therefore performed functional studies to characterize the biochemical and biological effects of these three patient-derived mutations. Results An immunofluorescence analysis revealed decreased thrombospondin-1 and increased CD34 expression in platelets from our patient. Consistent with the previous studies, the three patient-derived mutants were unable to repress the expression of the reporter gene and had a dominant-negative effect over wild-type GFI1B. In addition, the three mutations abolished recognition of a consensus-binding site in gel shift assays. Furthermore, transduction of mouse fetal liver-derived megakaryocytes with the three GFI1B mutants resulted in the production of abnormally large proplatelet tips, which were reduced in number. Conclusions Our study provides further proof of concept that GFI1B is an essential protein for the normal development of the megakaryocyte lineage.

Abstract
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subtype of myeloid leukemia characterized by differentiation block at the promyelocyte stage. Besides the presence of chromosomal rearrangement t(15;17), leading to the formation of PML-RARA (promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor alpha) fusion, other genetic alterations have also been implicated in APL. Here, we performed comprehensive mutational analysis of primary and relapse APL to identify somatic alterations, which cooperate with PML-RARA in the pathogenesis of APL. We explored the mutational landscape using whole-exome (n=12) and subsequent targeted sequencing of 398 genes in 153 primary and 69 relapse APL. Both primary and relapse APL harbored an average of eight non-silent somatic mutations per exome. We observed recurrent alterations of FLT3, WT1, NRAS and KRAS in the newly diagnosed APL, whereas mutations in other genes commonly mutated in myeloid leukemia were rarely detected. The molecular signature of APL relapse was characterized by emergence of frequent mutations in PML and RARA genes. Our sequencing data also demonstrates incidence of loss-of-function mutations in previously unidentified genes, ARID1B and ARID1A, both of which encode for key components of the SWI/SNF complex. We show that knockdown of ARID1B in APL cell line, NB4, results in large-scale activation of gene expression and reduced in vitro differentiation potential.

Abstract
High-throughput DNA sequencing significantly contributed to diagnosis and prognostication in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). We determined the biological and prognostic significance of genetic aberrations in MDS. In total, 944 patients with various MDS subtypes were screened for known/putative mutations/deletions in 104 genes using targeted deep sequencing and array-based genomic hybridization. In total, 845/944 patients (89.5%) harbored at least one mutation (median, 3 per patient; range, 0-12). Forty-seven genes were significantly mutated with TET2, SF3B1, ASXL1, SRSF2, DNMT3A, and RUNX1 mutated in >10% of cases. Many mutations were associated with higher risk groups and/or blast elevation. Survival was investigated in 875 patients. By univariate analysis, 25/48 genes (resulting from 47 genes tested significantly plus PRPF8) affected survival (P<0.05). The status of 14 genes combined with conventional factors revealed a novel prognostic model ('Model-1') separating patients into four risk groups ('low', 'intermediate', 'high', 'very high risk') with 3-year survival of 95.2, 69.3, 32.8, and 5.3% (P<0.001). Subsequently, a 'gene-only model' ('Model-2') was constructed based on 14 genes also yielding four significant risk groups (P<0.001). Both models were reproducible in the validation cohort (n=175 patients; P<0.001 each). Thus, large-scale genetic and molecular profiling of multiple target genes is invaluable for subclassification and prognostication in MDS patients.

Abstract
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) was originally identified from a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas carrying t(2;5)(p23;q35) translocation, where ALK was constitutively activated as a result of a fusion with nucleophosmin (NPM). Aberrant ALK fusion proteins were also generated in inflammatory fibrosarcoma and a subset of non-small-cell lung cancers, and these proteins are implicated in their pathogenesis. Recently, ALK has been demonstrated to be constitutively activated by gene mutations and/or amplifications in sporadic as well as familial cases of neuroblastoma. Here we describe another mechanism of aberrant ALK activation observed in a neuroblastoma-derived cell line (NB-1), in which a short-form ALK protein (ALK(del2-3)) having a truncated extracellular domain is overexpressed because of amplification of an abnormal ALK gene that lacks exons 2 and 3. ALK(del2-3) was autophosphorylated in NB-1 cells as well as in ALK(del2-3)-transduced cells and exhibited enhanced in vitro kinase activity compared with the wild-type kinase. ALK(del2-3)-transduced NIH3T3 cells exhibited increased colony-forming capacity in soft agar and tumorigenicity in nude mice. RNAi-mediated ALK knockdown resulted in the growth suppression of ALK(del2-3)-expressing cells, arguing for the oncogenic role of this mutant. Our findings provide a novel insight into the mechanism of deregulation of the ALK kinase and its roles in neuroblastoma pathogenesis.

Abstract
O(6)-Methylguanine produced in DNA induces mutation due to its ambiguous base-pairing properties during DNA replication. To suppress such an outcome, organisms possess a mechanism to eliminate cells carrying O(6)-methylguanine by inducing apoptosis that requires the function of mismatch repair proteins. To identify other factors involved in this apoptotic process, we performed retrovirus-mediated gene-trap mutagenesis and isolated a mutant that acquired resistance to a simple alkylating agent, N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). However, it was still sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate, 1-(4-amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl-3-(2-chloroethyl)-3-nitrosourea, etoposide and ultraviolet irradiation. Moreover, the mutant exhibited an increased mutant frequency after exposure to MNU. The gene responsible was identified and designated Mapo1 (O(6)-methylguanine-induced apoptosis 1). When the expression of the gene was inhibited by small interfering RNA, MNU-induced apoptosis was significantly suppressed. In the Mapo1-defective mutant cells treated with MNU, the mitochondrial membrane depolarization and caspase-3 activation were severely suppressed, although phosphorylation of p53, CHK1 and histone H2AX was observed. The orthologs of the Mapo1 gene are present in various organisms from nematode to humans. Both mouse and human MAPO1 proteins expressed in cells localize in the cytoplasm. We therefore propose that MAPO1 may play a role in the signal-transduction pathway of apoptosis induced by O(6)-methylguanine-mispaired lesions.

Abstract
The unbalanced translocation, der(1;7)(q10;p10), is one of the characteristic cytogenetic abnormalities found in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and other myeloid neoplasms. Although described frequently with very poor clinical outcome and possible relationship with monosomy 7 or 7q- (-7/7q-), this recurrent cytogenetic abnormality has not been explored fully. Here we analyzed retrospectively 77 cases with der(1;7)(q10;p10) in terms of their clinical and cytogenetic features, comparing with other 46 adult -7/7q- cases without der(1;7)(q10;p10). In contrast with other -7/7q- cases, where the abnormality tends to be found in one or more partial karyotypes, der(1;7)(q10;p10) represents the abnormality common to all the abnormal clones and usually appears as a sole chromosomal abnormality during the entire clinical courses, or if not, is accompanied only by a limited number and variety of additional abnormalities, mostly trisomy 8 and/or loss of 20q. der(1;7)(q10;p10)-positive MDS cases showed lower blast counts (P<0.0001) and higher hemoglobin concentrations (P<0.0075) at diagnosis and slower progression to acute myeloid leukemia (P=0.0043) than other -7/7q- cases. der(1;7)(q10;p10) cases showed significantly better clinical outcome than other -7/7q cases (P<0.0001). In conclusion, der(1;7)(q10;p10) defines a discrete entity among myeloid neoplasms, showing unique clinical and cytogenetic characteristics.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy due to vasculitis without any complications of vasculitis in other organs was first reported in 1987. This condition was termed non-systemic vasculitic neuropathy (NSVN). Although vasculitis is believed to develop in small arteries and arterioles in this disease, the level of vascular involvement has not been fully established. We present a case of NSVN followed up by MR angiography, which was thought to be useful to assess the level as well as the state of vascular lesions in this condition.

Abstract
We examined the effects of the activation of metabotropic P2Y receptors on the intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and the release of neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in isolated adult rat dorsal root ganglion neurons. In small-sized dorsal root ganglion neurons (soma diameter<30 microm) loaded with fura-2, a bath application of ATP (100 microM) evoked an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration, while the removal of extracellular Ca(2+) partly depressed the response to ATP, thus suggesting that the ATP-induced increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration is due to both the release of Ca(2+) from intracellular stores and the influx of extracellular Ca(2+). Bath application of uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP; 100 microM) also caused an increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration in small-sized dorsal root ganglion neurons and the P2 receptor antagonists suramin (100 microM) and pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS; 10 microM) virtually abolished the response, indicating that the intracellular Ca(2+) elevation in response to UTP is mediated through metabotropic P2Y receptors. This intracellular Ca(2+) increase was abolished by pretreating the neurons with thapsigargin (100 nM), suggesting that the UTP-induced increase in intracellular Ca(2+) is primarily due to the release of Ca(2+) from endoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) stores. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that an application of UTP (100 microM) significantly stimulated the release of CGRP and that suramin (100 microM) totally abolished the response, suggesting that P2Y receptor-mediated increase in intracellular Ca(2+) is accompanied by CGRP release from dorsal root ganglion neurons. These results suggest that metabotropic P2Y receptors contribute to extracellular ATP-induced increase in intracellular Ca(2+) concentration and subsequent release of neuropeptide CGRP in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons.

Abstract
The relationship between the risk of endometrial cancer and the use of noncontraceptive estrogens by Japanese postmenopausal women was investigated in a hospital-based case-control study of 1025 women with endometrial cancer and 1267 with other conditions. The overall odds ratio (OR) for estrogen use with or without progestins, compared with never use of any type of estrogens, was 0.917 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.622-1.353), suggesting that hormone replacement therapy is not a causative agent for endometrial cancer in Japanese women, and that a recent increase in the incidence of endometrial cancer in Japanese women may be related to changes in their life-style. However, although not statistically significant, women who used estrogen without progestin for 12 or more months had an OR of 2.552 (CI 0.231-28.192), while those who used estrogen with progestin for 12 or more months had an OR of 0.425 (CI 0.086-2.113). These results indicate that the addition of a progestin should be considered for reducing the risk of endometrial cancer in Japanese women.

Abstract
The precise mechanism of the vasoprotective effect of estrogen replacement therapy in postmenopausal women is not fully understood. The present study sought to determine the role of nitric oxide (NO) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in the vasodilator response of the forearm vessels induced by estrogen administration to postmenopausal women. Subjects were divided into two groups. One group received conjugated equine estrogen (0.625 mg daily) orally for 3 months (n=26), while the other received no treatment (control group, n=10). Forearm blood flow was measured by strain-gauge plethysmography. The concentrations of nitrite/nitrate (metabolites of NO), ACE activity, and lipid parameters were measured. Basal forearm blood flow, body weight, blood pressure, and heart rate were similar at baseline in both groups. After 3 months of estrogen administration, the maximal forearm blood flow response during reactive hyperemia and the serum level of nitrite/nitrate each showed a significant increase over baseline values: from 23.6+/-2.0 to 36.5+/-3.1 ml/min per 100 ml tissue (P<0.01), and from 24.8+/-2.3 to 38.6+/-3.6 micromol/l (P<0.01), respectively. Plasma levels of ACE activity were significantly reduced from baseline after 3 months of estrogen treatment (from 12.2+/-0.6 to 10.9+/-0.6 IU/l, P<0.01). No changes were seen in controls. The change in forearm blood flow after sublingual nitroglycerin was similar at baseline versus after 3 months of estrogen administration. The increase in the serum level of nitrite/nitrate after 3 months of estrogen therapy showed a significant inverse correlation (r=0.52, P<0.01) with the reduction in the plasma level of ACE activity. There was no significant correlation between the increase in serum nitrite/nitrate and any change in serum lipids, blood pressure, or other parameters. The administration of oral estrogen to postmenopausal women for 3 months increased the NO-mediated forearm endothelium-dependent vasodilatation. This was likely due, at least in part, to ACE inhibition. The latter may be one mechanism by which ERT provides its well-known cardiovascular benefit.

Abstract
A 67-year-old man was admitted with erythematous skin papules, lymphadenopathy and liver dysfunction. The bone marrow was filled with atypical lymphoid cells, and a skin biopsy showed diffuse dermal infiltration of neoplastic cells, which were positive for CD2, CD8, CD56, TIA-1, Granzyme B and EBER (ISH), but negative for CD3, CD4, CD16 and CD57. Molecular analysis showed a germline configuration for T-cell receptor beta, gamma chain genes, and monoclonal integration of Epstein-Barr virus. The THP-COP regimen was not effective and the patient died of severe metabolic acidosis 2 months later. Autopsy revealed diffuse infiltration of neoplastic cells in almost all organs. Apoptosis of tumor cells and proliferation of hemophagocytic macrophages were remarkable. Neither angiocentricity nor necrosis was observed. The findings in this patient were indistinguishable from advanced-stage nasal-type NK cell lymphoma. However, the diagnosis of aggressive NK cell leukemia/lymphoma may be justified because of the marked involvement of the marrow at onset, fulminant clinical course and diffuse infiltration of tumor cells evident at autopsy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the mechanism of immunologic escape of leukemia cells and establish an effective anti-leukemia immunotherapy, we attempted to generate dendritic cells from leukemia cells in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). Using these leukemia-derived dendritic cells, we investigated leukemia cell-associated T-cell anergy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Leukemia cells of 30 patients with AML were cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, interleukin-4, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Cultured leukemia cells were evaluated for antigen-presenting ability by mixed leukocyte culture (MLC). Normal lymphocytes, which were cocultured with leukemia blasts in the first MLC, were cultured with leukemia-derived dendritic cells in the second MLC. RESULTS In cultures of leukemia cells from 21 of 30 patients examined, cells with stellate morphology and cell fractions with CD1a(+) and/or CD83(+) were present. Autologous MLC using lymphocytes obtained in remission phase as responders as well as allogeneic MLC demonstrated antigen-presenting ability in leukemia-derived dendritic cells. Leukemia cells of FAB-M0, M1, M2, M3, or M6 morphology/phenotype gave rise to dendritic cells as well as leukemia cells of M5. The leukemic origin of dendritic cells was suggested by in situ hybridization. By coculture with CD80(-) leukemia blasts, the response of normal lymphocytes to leukemia-derived dendritic cells cultured from the same individual as that of leukemia blasts was markedly reduced, compared with the lymphocytes cultured with leukemia blasts from a different individual as leukemia blasts. CONCLUSIONS Escape of leukemia cells from anti-leukemia immunity may be associated with T-cell anergy caused by leukemia blasts. The results of the present study suggest that leukemia-derived dendritic cells can be applied efficiently in anti-leukemia immunotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated whether the phenotype of apolipoprotein E (apo E) would influence the response of postmenopausal Japanese women to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). METHODS We measured the plasma levels of lipoprotein and apolipoprotein in 242 postmenopausal women at baseline and again after 12 months of HRT. Patients were divided into three groups according to apo E phenotype: E2+ (E2/2 and E2/3, n=21), E3/3 (n=176), E4+ (E3/4 and E4/4, n=45). RESULTS We found that the E4+ group had the highest levels of total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and apolipoprotein B, being significantly higher than in the E2+ group at baseline. The plasma levels of total and LDL cholesterol showed a significant decrease only in the E2+ and E3/3 groups after 12 months of HRT (E2+ group, total cholesterol -8.9% and LDL cholesterol -21.5%; E3/3 group, total cholesterol -2.9% and LDL cholesterol -9.5%). No significant difference in the reduction of total and LDL cholesterol was found in the E4+ group. Other lipid parameters did not differ in the three groups. CONCLUSIONS These data show that the apo E phenotype influenced the response of lipid metabolism in postmenopausal women to HRT, especially in the reduction of LDL cholesterol. Therefore, apo E phenotyping may be important in predicting the cholesterol-lowering effect of HRT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the relationship between the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genotype and the change in forearm vasoreactivity in response to a three-month course of oral estrogen in postmenopausal women. BACKGROUND The ACE genotype is a known predictor of the response to an ACE inhibitor drug; however, it is not clear whether it can modify the effect of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) on endothelial function in postmenopausal women. METHODS Fifty-five postmenopausal women received 0.625 mg of conjugated equine estrogen daily for three months. Forearm blood flow (FBF) was measured by strain-gauge plethysmography. RESULTS Twenty-one, 25 and 9 patients had the insertion/deletion (ID), II and DD genotypes, respectively. Plasma ACE activity was significantly higher at baseline in patients with either the DD or ID genotype than in those with the II genotype (p < 0.05). A significant decrease in plasma ACE activity with ERT was seen in the ID and II genotypes (p < 0.05), but not in the DD genotype. There were no significant differences in the FBF responses to reactive hyperemia at baseline between the three groups. Estrogen replacement therapy did not alter the FBF response to reactive hyperemia in the DD genotype (4.0 +/- 1.3%), although ERT significantly increased the FBF response in the ID and II genotypes (32.6 +/- 7.5% and 30.6 +/- 6.5%, respectively; p < 0.05). Forearm blood flow after administration of sublingual nitroglycerin did not change over three months in any of the three groups. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the effect of ERT in postmenopausal women on forearm endothelial function may be determined in part by the genotype of the ACE gene.

Abstract
The present study sought to determine the correlation between the vasodilator response of forearm resistance vessels and the circulating levels of nitric oxide (NO) after the administration of oral estrogen for 12 weeks to postmenopausal women. We classified postmenopausal women into two groups: those treated with conjugated equine estrogen (0.625 mg daily) orally for 12 weeks (n = 24) or those who received no treatment (control group, n = 8). Forearm blood flow was measured using strain-gauge plethysmography during hyperemia to evaluate endothelium-dependent vasodilation, and after sublingual nitroglycerin administration to evaluate endothelium-independent vasodilation. Serum levels of nitrite/nitrate (metabolites of NO) and lipid parameters were measured. Basal forearm blood flow, body weight and heart rate were similar in each group. After 12 weeks of estrogen administration, the maximal forearm blood flow response during reactive hyperemia and the serum level of nitrite/nitrate each showed a significant increase from 26.9 +/- 1.9 to 37.9 +/- 3.5 ml/min per 100 ml tissue (p < 0.01), and from 25.2 +/- 2.2 to 37.5 +/- 3.7 mumol/l (p < 0.05), respectively. No increases were seen in controls. The changes in forearm blood flow after sublingual nitroglycerin were similar before and after 12 weeks of estrogen administration. The increase in maximal forearm blood flow with reactive hyperemia was significantly correlated with the increase in nitrite/nitrate in the group administered estrogen (r = 0.48, p < 0.05). There was no significant correlation between maximal forearm blood flow with reactive hyperemia, nor any change in serum lipids, blood pressure or other parameters. In conclusion, the 12-week administration of oral estrogen increased forearm reactive hyperemia in postmenopausal women, probably via an increase in the production of NO.

Abstract
Both menopause and hypertension are associated with endothelial dysfunction and are risk factors for coronary heart disease. We evaluated forearm resistance artery endothelial function in hypertensive postmenopausal women (HPW, n=57) and compared it with endothelial function in normotensive postmenopausal women (NPW, n=67). In addition, we evaluated the effects of long-term estrogen replacement therapy (ERT, conjugated equine estrogen at a dose of 0.625 mg daily for 12 weeks) on endothelial function in HPW (n=10) and NPW (n=35). Forearm blood flow (FBF) was measured by strain-gauge plethysmography during reactive hyperemia to assess endothelium-dependent vasodilation and after sublingual nitroglycerin (NTG) administration to assess endothelium-independent vasodilation. Basal FBF was similar in the NPW and HPW groups. The FBF in the HPW group during reactive hyperemia was significantly lower than that in the NPW group. Increases in FBF after NTG were similar in the 2 groups. ERT decreased the LDL cholesterol concentration and circulating ACE activity and increased estradiol and HDL cholesterol in both groups. Basal blood pressures, heart rate, FBF, and body weight did not change with ERT. After 12 weeks of ERT, the maximal FBF response during reactive hyperemia increased significantly in both groups. The improvement in reactive hyperemia after ERT was significantly greater in the HPW group than in the NPW group (49+/-8 versus 17+/-5%, P<0.05). Changes in FBF after sublingual NTG administration were similar before and after 12 weeks of ERT. These findings suggest that continued ERT improves forearm resistance artery endothelial function in postmenopausal women and that this beneficial effect is greater in patients that are hypertensive.

Abstract
A 66-year-old woman was admitted with high fever, systemic lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and pancytopenia. Bone marrow aspiration showed infiltration of atypical lymphoid cells and hemophagocytic histiocytes. The findings of lymph node biopsy were compatible with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AILD). A diagnosis of lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic syndrome (LAHS) was made. Treatment with the THP-COP regimen achieved clinical remission except for mild splenomegaly, but relapse of LAHS was confirmed two years after diagnosis. The patient's condition deteriorated rapidly, and she died of multi-organ failure one month later. Autopsy revealed extended, diffuse infiltration of lymphoma cells in almost all organs. Numerous macrophages showing phagocytosis of erythrocytes and nucleated cells were found in the adrenal glands, lungs, bone marrow, spleen and liver. Epstein-Barr virus genomes were not detected by in situ hybridization, but cytotoxic molecules were immunostained with TIA-1 and granzyme B in the lymphoma cells. Elevated serum levels of sIL-2R, IFN-gamma, IL-6 and M-CSF were found at the onset and relapse of lymphoma. Overproduction of these cytokines was considered to have contributed to the pathogenesis of HPS.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate liver elasticity noninvasively. We have already proposed an ultrasonic imaging system that can reconstruct vibration maps inside tissue under forced mechanical vibration. With this system, shear elastic properties of soft tissue can be evaluated as vibration velocities. Theoretically, these velocities increase with the increase of tissue elasticity. Sonoelasticity imaging was performed on 236 patients with chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, and 50 healthy volunteers. The average of the velocities was 598.8 +/- 151.7 cm/s in healthy volunteers, 984.4 +/- 362.5 cm/s in chronic hepatitis and 1189.0 +/- 411.7 cm/s in liver cirrhosis. The average velocity of Child C group was statistically faster than those of Child A and B groups. Fibrotic rate from biopsy specimens statistically had the strongest positive correlation with velocities. With our system, the degree of liver fibrosis and function can be estimated objectively and noninvasively.
