Abstract
An 82-year-old man had been treated for lung adenocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Contrast-enhanced computed tomography examination showed swelling of the left adrenal gland, suggesting metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma, HCC, or primary adrenal tumor. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) was performed for the pathological diagnosis, and adrenal metastasis of HCC was diagnosed. No notable complications due to EUS-FNA were found. There have been reports of adrenal metastasis due to various cancers, but there are few reports that can confirm the diagnosis of adrenal metastasis of HCC using EUS-FNA. Adrenal metastasis of HCC is not a rare condition, but it may be difficult to diagnose in the case of multiple cancer complications. We experienced a case in which EUS-FNA was useful for the diagnosis of adrenal metastasis of HCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the P4 suicide screener in a multinational sample. The primary goal was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale and investigate its convergent validity by analyzing its correlation with depression, anxiety, and substance use. STUDY DESIGN The study design is a cross-sectional self-report study conducted across 42 countries. METHODS A cross-sectional, self-report study was conducted in 42 countries, with a total of 82,243 participants included in the final data set. RESULTS The study provides an overview of suicide ideation rates across 42 countries and confirms the structural validity of the P4 screener. The findings indicated that sexual and gender minority individuals exhibited higher rates of suicidal ideation. The P4 screener showed adequate reliability, convergence, and discriminant validity, and a cutoff score of 1 is recommended to identify individuals at risk of suicidal behavior. CONCLUSIONS The study supports the reliability and validity of the P4 suicide screener across 42 diverse countries, highlighting the importance of using a cross-cultural suicide risk assessment to standardize the identification of high-risk individuals and tailoring culturally sensitive suicide prevention strategies.

Abstract
Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is a standard treatment for intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, TACE can cause deterioration of liver functions. We aimed to identify the factors that influence deterioration of liver function after TACE. We retrospectively analyzed 262 patients who underwent TACE as initial treatment for HCC with Child-Pugh grade A. We divided them into three groups stratified by the etiology of underlying liver disease. Patients were classified into hepatitis B virus (HBV) group, hepatitis C virus (HCV) group, and non-HBV / non-HCV (NBNC) group. Liver functions at one month after TACE and time to Child-Pugh grade B or C were compared between the three groups. The HBV, HCV and NBNC groups contained 23, 123 and 116 patients, respectively. The decline in albumin level after TACE was significantly higher in NBNC group than other groups (p = 0.02). NBNC group showed a shorter time to Child-Pugh grade deterioration compared with HBV group and HCV group (p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that NBNC group was a significant factor for Child-Pugh grade deterioration (Hazard ratio 3.74, 95% confidence interval 1.89-7.40, p < 0.001). These results revealed that liver functions worsened most remarkably in NBNC group after TACE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent acute cholecystitis (RAC) can occur after non-surgical treatment for acute cholecystitis (AC), and can be more severe in comparison to the first episode of AC. Low skeletal muscle mass or adiposity have various effects in several diseases. We aimed to clarify the relationship between RAC and body parameters. METHODS Patients with AC who were treated at our hospital between January 2011 and March 2022 were enrolled. The psoas muscle mass and adipose tissue area at the third lumbar level were measured using computed tomography at the first episode of AC. The areas were divided by height to obtain the psoas muscle mass index (PMI) and subcutaneous/visceral adipose tissue index (SATI/VATI). According to median VATI, SATI and PMI values by sex, patients were divided into the high and low PMI groups. We performed propensity score matching to eliminate the baseline differences between the high PMI and low PMI groups and analyzed the cumulative incidence and predictors of RAC. RESULTS The entire cohort was divided into the high PMI (n = 81) and low PMI (n = 80) groups. In the propensity score-matched cohort there were 57 patients in each group. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, the low PMI group and the high VATI group had a significantly higher cumulative incidence of RAC than their counterparts (log-rank P = 0.001 and 0.015, respectively). In a multivariate Cox regression analysis, the hazard ratios of low PMI and low VATI for RAC were 5.250 (95% confidence interval 1.083-25.450, P = 0.039) and 0.158 (95% confidence interval: 0.026-0.937, P = 0.042), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Low skeletal muscle mass and high visceral adiposity were independent risk factors for RAC.

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

Abstract
The characteristics of liver dysfunction due to adult-onset Still's disease are not specific. Differentiating from autoimmune hepatitis is important in deciding whether to continue corticosteroid therapy, and also in terms of management of cirrhosis and surveillance of hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver biopsy is thought to be the most important determinant for differential diagnosis.

Abstract
We present measurements of the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry A_{LL} of direct-photon production in p[over →]+p[over →] collisions at sqrt[s]=510 GeV. The measurements have been performed at midrapidity (|η|<0.25) with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. At relativistic energies, direct photons are dominantly produced from the initial quark-gluon hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force at leading order. Therefore, at sqrt[s]=510 GeV, where leading-order-effects dominate, these measurements provide clean and direct access to the gluon helicity in the polarized proton in the gluon-momentum-fraction range 0.02<x<0.08, with direct sensitivity to the sign of the gluon contribution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of extrahepatic malignancies (EHMs) after hepatitis C virus (HCV) eradication by interferon (IFN)-based and IFN-free direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) treatment remains unclear. AIMS The aim was to evaluate the cumulative incidence of EHMs diagnosed for the first time after the antiviral treatments. METHODS We analyzed a total 527 patients with chronic HCV infection and without prior history of any malignancies who achieved sustained virological response by antiviral treatments, including IFN-based (n = 242) or IFN-free DAAs (n = 285). The baseline predictors for EHM occurrence were analyzed using Cox regression analysis. RESULTS Thirty-two patients were diagnosed with EHMs, 14 in IFN-based and 18 in IFN-free DAAs, respectively. The total duration of follow-up was 1,796 person-years in IFN-based and 823 person-years in IFN-free DAAs. The incidence of EHMs in IFN-based and IFN-free DAAs was 7.8 and 21.9 per 1,000 person-years, respectively. The cumulative incidence of EHMs was significantly higher in IFN-free DAAs than IFN-based (p = 0.002). IFN-free DAAs was a single independent predictor for incidence of EHMs (p = 0.012). As for gender, the incidence of EHMs was significantly higher in IFN-free DAAs only in the female cohort (p = 0.002). After propensity score matching, IFN-free DAAs was a single independent predictor for incidence of EHMs in the female patients (p = 0.045). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of EHMs after HCV eradication is higher in IFN-free DAAs than IFN-based regimens, especially in female patients. We should carefully follow-up not only HCC but also EHMs after IFN-free DAAs regimens.

Abstract
1. This study assessed 1) the effects of Paracoccus carotinifaciens supplementation containing high astaxanthin levels on egg production performance and quality, 2) dynamics of carotenoids levels in the egg yolk and 3) taste of astaxanthin-rich egg yolk.2. Laying hens were fed diets containing different levels of P. carotinifaciens-derived astaxanthin (ASX; 0, 2, 4, 8, or 16 ppm) for 28 d (experiment 1) or a diet containing 16 ppm astaxanthin for 28 d followed by a 0 ppm astaxanthin diet for 28 days (experiment 2).3. Production performance, egg quality and egg yolk carotenoid levels were examined in experiment 1 (Ex1) and the dynamics of egg yolk carotenoid levels and egg yolk taste in experiment 2 (Ex2).4. ASX supplementation did not affect production performance or egg quality. ASX levels in the egg yolk became saturated after seven days of 16 ppm supplementation and decreased to less than one-tenth of the saturated levels seven days after supplementation cessation. Supplementation with 16 ppm ASX for 28 d did not affect egg yolk taste.5. Supplementation resulted in the production of ASX-rich eggs for a brief period without affecting production performance, egg quality or taste. Understanding the time taken for the incorporation of ASX into egg yolks is beneficial for value-added egg production and may help in minimising supplementation costs.

Abstract
A 57-year-old man visited our hospital for acute cholangitis due to common bile duct (CBD) stones in March 2021. Biliary stenting was performed without any complications. The cholangitis improved rapidly. He was re-hospitalized to treat the CBD stones in May 2021. Although endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was performed, endoscopy caused a perforation of the duodenal bulb. We successfully performed endoscopic closure of the duodenal defect using an over-the-scope clip (OTSC®). Considering that mild CBD dilatation of 10 mm can carry an increased risk of stenosis after surgery, we decided to avoid surgery and perform a follow-up endoscopic treatment. He was re-hospitalized in July 2021. The endoscopy revealed OTSC® in the anterior wall of the duodenal bulb and complete healing of the perforation. We carefully advanced the scope to the second portion of the duodenum while avoiding OTSC®, and the ampulla of Vater was identified. We were then able to remove the stones without any complications. OTSC® was effective in closing a duodenal perforation and enabled us to carry out the retreatment safely and successfully.

Abstract
Asymptomatic splenic nodules were detected incidentally in two middle-aged women at an annual checkup. They showed no abnormalities on laboratory tests, but imaging studies revealed splenic nodules. No other localized lesions were found. Splenic nodules were hypoechoic on ultrasonography (US), hypovascular on contrast-enhanced computed tomography, and showed a low intensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging. We performed US-guided percutaneous aspiration biopsies using 21-gauge needles without complications, including bleeding. Pathological specimens showed noncaseating granulomas, so both patients were diagnosed with isolated splenic sarcoidosis. A US-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a safe and useful method for diagnosing splenic nodules.

Abstract
Pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) as classified in the World Health Organization (WHO) 2010 was reclassified in the WHO 2017 as either neuroendocrine tumor (NET) G3 or NEC. An accurate diagnosis based on the WHO 2017 classification is important in order treating this disease appropriately. We report a case diagnosed as NET G3 that responded remarkably well to treatment with streptozocin. The patient would likely not have received the streptozocin treatment if she had been diagnosed with NEC. The WHO 2017 classification is reasonable for the treatment of advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms.

Abstract
Objective Real-world data of adalimumab (ADA) in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) are scarce. We aimed to study the ADA response rates and predictors of response in UC treatment. Methods This observational, prospective and multi-center study assessed the clinical outcome of refractory UC patients treated with ADA who previously had an inadequate response to either conventional therapies or other anti-TNF antibodies or tacrolimus. The primary endpoint was the proportion of UC patients achieving a clinical response and remission at 8 and 52 weeks. We also evaluated the parameters which were associated with a clinical response at 8 and 52 weeks. Results A total of 35 patients were enrolled from 11 centers. The clinical responses at 8 and 52 weeks were 60.0% and 51.4%, respectively. The clinical remission rates at 8 and 52 weeks were 45.7% and 48.6%, respectively. Positive predictors for week 52 response were combination of ADA with immunomodulator (IM) (OR: 27.229; 95% CI; 1.897-390.76; p=0.015) and a week 8 lower partial Mayo score (OR: 0.406; 95% CI; 0.204-0.809; p=0.010). A receiver operation characteristic curve analysis revealed the optimal week 8 partial Mayo score to be 2.5, therefore a partial Mayo score of ≤2 was a positive predictor for the continuation of ADA. No malignancy or death occurred during this study. Conclusion ADA was effective for inducing and maintaining both a clinical response and remission in patients with refractory UC. It remains possible that the concomitant use of IM and a week 8 partial Mayo score of ≤2 may predict the long-term response of ADA.

Abstract
Brain organoids with three-dimensional structure and tissue-like function are highly demanded for brain disease research and drug evaluation. However, to our knowledge, methods for measuring and analyzing brain organoid function have not been developed yet. This study focused on the frequency components of an obtained waveform below 500 Hz using planner microelectrode array (MEA) and evaluated the response to the convulsants pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) and strychnine as well as the antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) perampanel and phenytoin. Sudden and persistent seizure-like firing was observed with PTZ administration, displaying a concentration-dependent periodic activity with the frequency component enhanced even in one oscillation characteristic. On the other hand, in the administration of AEDs, the frequency of oscillation decreased in a concentration-dependent manner and the intensity of the frequency component in one oscillation also decreased. Interestingly, at low doses of phenytoin, a group of synchronized bursts was formed, which was different from the response to the perampanel. Frequency components contained information on cerebral organoid function, and MEA was proven useful in predicting the seizure liability of drugs and evaluating the effect of AEDs with a different mechanism of action. In addition, frequency component analysis of brain organoids using MEA is an important analysis method to perform in vitro to in vivo extrapolation in the future, which will help explore the function of the organoid itself, study human brain developments, and treat various brain diseases. Frequency analysis <500 Hz was performed in brain organoids coupled to planner microelectrode arrays (MEA). Concentration-dependent changes in frequency components were detected in responses to convulsants and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Analysis of signal components <500 Hz in brain organoids is a useful method for preclinical seizure liability assessment of drugs and screening of antiepileptic drugs.

Abstract
Inhalation of particulate matter with a diameter less than 2.5 µm has been reported to exacerbates fatty liver disease. However, the components and mechanisms of particulate matter involved in hepatic lipid metabolism and autophagy have not been fully elucidated. We found that atmospheric particulate matter in Japan stimulated lipogenesis in hepatocytes even when its lipid component was removed. Furthermore, we demonstrated that particulate matter did not promote autophagosome formation but inhibited autophagic degradation in hepatocytes. In previous toxicity experiments, particulate matter collected from atmosphere often contained contaminants originating from filters. In this study, we exposed the powdery particulate matter with less contaminants collected using a cyclone and impactor system to HepG2 cells, human hepatocyte. This particulate matter induced lipogenesis and endoplasmic reticulum stress in HepG2 cells as well as previous reports of particulate matter in the USA and China. On the other hand, when autophagic flux were examined in detail, the particulate matter did not promote autophagosome formation, but inhibited autophagic degradation. Since these effects were similar to those of palmitate, a fatty acid, we prepared particulate matter in which lipid component was removed by acetone and compared the effects on HepG2 cells with those of untreated one. The particulate matter without lipid component induced lipid droplets as well as did the untreated one although it induced less endoplasmic reticulum stress. These results suggest that hepatic lipid synthesis is stimulated not only by the uptake of lipid but also by other components in the particulate matter.

Liver function is a most important prognostic factor in patients with liver cirrhosis. Also, portal hypertension is a fatal complication of liver cirrhosis and variceal treatment is indispensable. However, changes of liver functions after endoscopic variceal treatments are unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate prognosis and liver functions after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) and endoscopic variceal ligation (EVL). A total of liver cirrhotic 103 patients who underwent prophylactic EIS and EVL were enrolled. Overall survival rate was higher in EIS group than EVL group (p = 0.03). Multivariate analysis showed that EIS was a negative factor for death (HR: 0.46, 95% confidence interval: 0.24–0.88, p = 0.02). Liver functions were assessed by blood test taken at before and 3 months after treatment. In EIS group, albumin and prothrombin time improved (p < 0.01), leading to improvement of Child–Pugh score, ALBI score and MELD score (p < 0.05). However, these did not improve in EVL group. EIS was a significant factor related to the elevated value of albumin after treatment in linear regression analysis (estimated regression coefficient: 0.17, 95% confidence interval: 0.05–0.29, p = 0.005). These results revealed that EIS could improve liver functions and prognosis.

Abstract
We report observations of gamma-ray emissions with energies in the 100-TeV energy region from the Cygnus region in our Galaxy. Two sources are significantly detected in the directions of the Cygnus OB1 and OB2 associations. Based on their positional coincidences, we associate one with a pulsar PSR J2032+4127 and the other mainly with a pulsar wind nebula PWN G75.2+0.1, with the pulsar moving away from its original birthplace situated around the centroid of the observed gamma-ray emission. This work would stimulate further studies of particle acceleration mechanisms at these gamma-ray sources.

Abstract
A 75-year-old man visited our hospital for the examination of a tumor in the pancreas. Computed tomography showed an 85×85-mm low-density tumor in the pancreas. The tumor was pathologically diagnosed as poorly differentiated carcinoma by endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. Although we started chemotherapy, the patient died 84 days after the diagnosis. An autopsy demonstrated a ruptured anaplastic carcinoma with mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the pancreas. Anaplastic carcinoma with mucoepidermoid carcinoma is a very rare histologic subtype of pancreatic carcinoma, so pathological findings are important for predicting the patient's prognosis. Physicians should be aware of this rare but fatal disease.

Abstract
A 72-year-old woman with advanced lung cancer had received systemic chemotherapy including atezolizumab. About three months after the initial administration of atezolizumab, her liver enzyme levels increased. The histopathological findings of the initial liver biopsy revealed acute inflammatory infiltrate, predominantly CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes, in the hepatic lobules. We diagnosed her with atezolizumab-induced immune-related acute hepatitis. Oral corticosteroid therapy successfully improved the elevation of serum aminotransferases. A sequential liver biopsy demonstrated the rapid progression of liver fibrosis. Because hepatocellular carcinoma occurs most often in advanced cases of chronic liver disease, we should pay close attention to immune-related acute hepatic injury when treating patients with advanced liver diseases using atezolizumab.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Recurrent biliary obstruction (RBO) after self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) insertion is a big problem in patients with unresectable malignant biliary obstruction (MBO). Sarcopenia is associated with poor prognosis in patients with malignancies. The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship between RBO and sarcopenia. METHODS Forty-six patients with normal psoas muscle mass index (PMI) and 55 with low PMI were enrolled, based on PMI cut-off values. We analyzed the cumulative incidences and predictors of RBO, considering death without RBO to be a competing risk. RESULTS In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the 60-, 180-, and 360-day cumulative incidence rates of RBO were 0.0%, 12.2%, and 22.0% in the normal PMI group, as compared to 4.0%, 31.1%, and 55.0% in the low PMI group, respectively (log-rank P = .003). In competing risk analysis, the incidences were 2.9%, 2.9%, and 7.1% in the normal PMI group, as compared to 13.7%, 34.8%, and 51.7% in the low PMI group, respectively (P < .001). In multivariate Cox regression and Fine-Gray's analyses, hazard ratios of low PMI for RBO were 4.593 (95% confidence interval 1.673-12.61, P = .003) and 4.980 (2.045-12.13, P < .001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Sarcopenia in MBO was an independent risk factor for RBO.

Abstract
We report, for the first time, the long-awaited detection of diffuse gamma rays with energies between 100 TeV and 1 PeV in the Galactic disk. Particularly, all gamma rays above 398 TeV are observed apart from known TeV gamma-ray sources and compatible with expectations from the hadronic emission scenario in which gamma rays originate from the decay of π^{0}'s produced through the interaction of protons with the interstellar medium in the Galaxy. This is strong evidence that cosmic rays are accelerated beyond PeV energies in our Galaxy and spread over the Galactic disk.

Abstract
The induction of an anti-cancer immune responses is potentially associated with the efficacy of anti-cancer therapy. Recent studies have indicated that sinus macrophages in regional lymph nodes are involved in anti-cancer immune responses in the cancer microenvironment. In the present study, we investigated the correlation between lymphocyte infiltration in cancer tissues and macrophage activation in regional lymph nodes. We retrospectively identified 294 patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgery from 2008 to 2012. Using immunohistochemistry, we evaluated CD169-expression on CD68-positive macrophages, and the density of CD8-postive lymphocytes in tumor microenvironment. We statistically examined the correlation between CD169 and CD8 expression, and performed Cox regression analysis of potential prognostic factors, including CD169 and CD8 expression, for cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with total and advanced gastric cancer. CD169 overexpression in lymph node sinus macrophages (LySMs) was positively correlated to the density of CD8-positive lymphocytes in primary cancer tissues (R = 0.367, p < 0.001). A high density of CD8-positive T lymphocytes in the primary site and a high level of CD169 expression in LySMs were independently associated with greater CSS in patients with total and advanced gastric cancer (p < 0.05 for all). The expression on CD169 in LySMs is a predictor of a favorable clinical course in patients with gastric cancer, and might be useful for evaluating anti-cancer immune responses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Esophageal variceal bleeding can be fatal in patients with liver cirrhosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between gastroesophageal flap valve (GEFV) and esophageal variceal bleeding. METHODS Subjects were cirrhotic patients with endoscopically diagnosed esophageal varices treated at our hospital between 2005 and 2019, excluding those with F3 form and red color (RC) signs at first endoscopy. Sixty-five patients with normal GEFV (Hill grade I or II) and 42 with abnormal GEFV (Hill grade III or IV) were enrolled. Propensity score matching eliminated the baseline differences, resulting in a sample size of 30 patients per cohort. The primary endpoint was esophageal variceal bleeding, and the secondary endpoint was variceal bleeding or appearance of RC sign. We analyzed the cumulative incidences and predictors of each endpoint. RESULTS The 3-, 5-, and 10-year cumulative incidences of the primary endpoints were all 3.4% in the normal GEFV group, and 19.0%, 24.6% and 34.0% in the abnormal GEFV group, respectively (log-rank P = 0.011). Cumulative incidence of the secondary endpoint was 13.8%, 33.1% and 39.2% in the normal GEFV group, and 42.2%, 54.6% and 84.9% in the abnormal GEFV group, respectively (log-rank P = 0.001). In multivariate Cox regression analyses, hazard ratios of abnormal GEFV of the primary and secondary endpoints were 12.79 (95% confidence interval 1.331-122.8) and 3.600 (1.653-7.840), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Abnormal GEFV was an independent risk factor for esophageal variceal bleeding and appearance of RC sign.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Trans-radial access (TRA) has been established as a safe and established approach for invasive coronary catheter procedures. However, protocols for post-procedural hemostasis varies depending on institutes and an evidence-based protocol is lacking.
Purpose
The objective of this study was to investigate the clinical implications of procedural hemostasis.
Methods
Consecutive patients who were referred to outpatient catheter examination before and after April 2018 were treated with an old and a new protocol, respectively. In both protocols, we used the same commercially available hemostasis band with injecting an air of 16 ml for hemostasis. In the old protocol, the amount and timing of deflation were fixed, whereas the air was removed as much as possible for every 30 minutes in the new protocol. Time to complete hemostasis, the rate of major bleeding, and the rate of radial artery occlusion (RAO) at 6 months after the catheter examination were compared between the protocols.
Results
Total of 1,843 (71±10 years old, 77% male) patients was included in the study. Between patients in the old and the new protocol group (n=1,000 and 843, respectively), there was no significant difference in age, gender, body size, or systolic blood pressure. The new group had significantly higher prevalence of diabetes (47% vs 39%, p=0.002), slightly larger sheath size (4.1±0.3 vs 4.0±0.2 Fr, p<0.001), and lower rate of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT: 24% vs. 35%, p<0.001). Time for complete hemostasis was about one-third with the new protocol compared with the old protocol (65±32 vs. 190±16 min, p<0.001) and there was no major bleeding in either group. The rate of radial artery occlusion was 0.7% and 9.8% in the old and the new group (p<0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that the significant predictor of prolonged hemostasis time were the old protocol (odds ratio: OR 80.5, p<0.001) and the prescription of DAPT (OR 2.9, p<0.001), while the factors associated with higher risk of radial occlusion were the old protocol (OR 13.9, p<0.001), the number of previous TRA (OR 1.1, p<0.001), and smaller body size (OR 0.127 per 1 m2 increase p=0.005).
Conclusions
Our new protocol for hemostasis after TRA was strongly associated with shorter hemostasis time and a lower rate of radial artery occlusion. This approach will decrease the post-procedural hospital time with even fewer complication rates.

Abstract
Simple Summary Antiplatelet therapy shows antitumor effect in several types of cancers. In liver disease, antiplatelet therapy reduces liver fibrosis and occurrence of HCC. However, the effect after diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma is still unknown. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the effects of antiplatelet therapy for HCC patients in this study. We compared patients with and without antiplatelet therapy in overall survival, liver-related death, tumor progression, Child-Pugh deterioration and bleeding. Our results suggested that antiplatelet therapy had antitumor effect, liver protective effect and safety. Therefore, patients with antiplatelet therapy could reduce liver-related death and improve overall survival. Abstract Aims: Antiplatelet therapy has been reported to reduce liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and has exhibited antitumor properties in other cancers. However, the effects of antiplatelet therapy after diagnosis of HCC are unknown. We investigated the effects of antiplatelet therapy on prognosis, tumor progression, liver function and safety in HCC patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 772 HCC patients. Antiplatelet therapy was defined as the regular intake of aspirin or clopidogrel from HCC diagnosis through to an endpoint of either overall survival (OS) or liver-related death. Overall survival, liver-related death, tumor progression, Child–Pugh deterioration and hemorrhage were analyzed for patients who either had or had not undertaken antiplatelet therapy. Results: The numbers of patients who did and did not undertake antiplatelet therapy were 111 and 661, respectively. Patients who undertook antiplatelet therapy were older and had better liver function at diagnosis. Antiplatelet therapy resulted in significant improvements in OS (p < 0.01) and lower risk of liver-related death (p < 0.01). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that antiplatelet therapy had a significant negative association with liver-related death (hazard ratio (HR): 0.64, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.44–0.93, p = 0.02). In patients who underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) as the first treatment, antiplatelet therapy prevented tumor progression (p < 0.01) and Child–Pugh deterioration (p < 0.01). Antiplatelet therapy did not increase the risk of hemorrhagic events. Conclusions: Antiplatelet therapy reduced liver-related death and improved OS safely in HCC patients.

Abstract
A 69-year-old man was diagnosed with a liver abscess and received antibiotics at a local hospital. He was referred to our hospital due to a persistent fever. He had hepatic masses protruding from the liver surface toward the transverse colon. We reached a diagnosis of inflammatory pseudotumor (IPT) by a percutaneous liver biopsy. Colonoscopy showed direct invasion of IPT to the colon. His condition improved by the intravenous administration of antibiotics. Hepatic IPT is often misdiagnosed as a malignant tumor. We should consider IPT when we encounter hepatic tumors, and a percutaneous liver biopsy is useful for avoiding unnecessary excessive treatments.

Abstract
A 37-year-old Wilson disease patient treated with D-penicillamine visited our hospital for the evaluation of his liver function. Laboratory data showed a low serum copper level and ceruloplasmin. The ratio of urinary copper to urinary creatinine in a spot urinary analysis after 4 days' cessation of D-penicillamine was under 0.1. We concluded that the copper chelation was excessive and changed D-penicillamine to zinc acetate. However, his liver function test results did not normalize. We performed a liver biopsy and discovered a high copper content. The liver dysfunction was improved after resuming chelating therapy. Accurate measurement of the hepatic copper content via a biopsy is important for the adequate management of this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been known to cause various extrahepatic autoimmune disorders. The prevalence of platelet-associated immunoglobulin G (PA-IgG) has been high in patients with HCV infection. Because thrombocytopenia in HCV-related liver diseases is a notable problem, we performed prospective study on the effect of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) treatment on PA-IgG and platelet count. METHODS A total of 215 patients with HCV-related liver disease were enrolled in this study. The patients who discontinued DAAs or did not undergo adequate laboratory examinations and who did not achieve sustained virologic response were excluded and finally a total of 187 patients were investigated. RESULTS A total of 171 patients (91.4%) were PA-IgG positive (>46 ng/107 cells) before starting DAAs (baseline). The PA-IgG level elevation was significantly correlated with higher liver inflammation and fibrosis markers (P < 0.05) and lower platelet count (P = 0.000019). The platelet count of the patients with low PA-IgG titer tended to be higher at baseline, end of treatment (EOT), and at 12 and 24 weeks after EOT. The platelet count increased at EOT (P < 0.05) and 24 weeks after EOT (P < 0.01). The PA-IgG levels were significantly decreased at EOT, 12 and 24 weeks after EOT (P < 0.01). Multiple regression analysis found that only platelet count at baseline was closely associated with negative conversion of PA-IgG at 24 weeks after EOT (P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Eradication of HCV by DAAs treatment successfully decreased PA-IgG level and increased platelet count.

Abstract
We report on the highest energy photons from the Crab Nebula observed by the Tibet air shower array with the underground water-Cherenkov-type muon detector array. Based on the criterion of a muon number measured in an air shower, we successfully suppress 99.92% of the cosmic-ray background events with energies E>100 TeV. As a result, we observed 24 photonlike events with E>100 TeV against 5.5 background events, which corresponds to a 5.6σ statistical significance. This is the first detection of photons with E>100 TeV from an astrophysical source.

Abstract
A 66-year-old man was admitted to our department due to cholestatic liver injury. He had received five cycles of pembrolizumab for small-cell lung cancer. Imaging showed the possibility of sclerosing cholangitis (SC) with hemobilia. Histologically, CD8+ T cells had infiltrated the biliary epithelium of the extrahepatic bile duct. We reached the diagnosis of secondary SC induced by pembrolizumab. Although we treated him with high-dose corticosteroids, laboratory data showed only a moderate response. Clinicians should recognize that immune checkpoint inhibitors can sometimes cause severe and irreversible SC.

Abstract
Intestinal glucose absorption varies with growth; however, the dynamics of these variations has not been yet fully elucidated in broiler chickens. The present study aimed to compare jejunal glucose uptake and maltose digestion in broilers of 2 different ages, i.e., 1- vs. 5 wk old. Oral D-maltose gavage, everted sac, and Ussing chamber experiments were carried out to investigate intestinal glucose absorption and mRNA expression of glucose-transport-related genes as well as jejunal maltase activity. Upon gavage, glucose concentrations peaked at 10 min post-administration in 1-wk-old chicks, while they peaked at 40 min in 5-wk-old chickens. Glucose concentrations at 10 min were significantly higher in the 1-wk-old chicks (P = 0.010). Using the everted sacs experimental setup, 5 intestinal regions i.e., duodenum, proximal jejunum, distal jejunum, proximal ileum, and distal ileum, were targeted to examine D-maltose digestion and glucose transport across the intestinal mucosa. In the distal and proximal ileum, glucose concentrations were found to be significantly higher in the serosal compartment of the 1-wk-old chicks upon incubation with D-maltose (25 mM) (P < 0.05), while in the mucosal compartment the levels were significantly higher in the 5-wk-old chickens (P < 0.05). An Ussing chamber setup was employed to measure glucose-induced short-circuit current (ΔIsc) in the mucosal epithelium of the jejunum. In response to the addition of D-maltose (10 mM) into the mucosal compartment, ΔIsc was significantly higher in the 1-wk-old chicks (P = 0.018). Furthermore, no variations in jejunal maltase activity were observed between the 2 age groups. While jejunal glucose absorption was lower in the 5-wk-old chickens, the mRNA expression levels of jejunal SGLT1, GLUT2, and Na+/K+-ATPase did not show any significant differences between the 2 age groups. Our results suggest that the active transport of glucose across the jejunal epithelium decreases upon growth in broiler chickens but is not accompanied by any variations in maltase activity or in the expression of glucose-absorption-related genes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The pathological diagnosis of endoscopically resected early gastric cancer (EGC) is performed by evaluating a few representative sections from the specimen. We aimed to determine whether evaluating twice as many sections as usual by essentially cutting the original sections in half could improve the pathological diagnosis of EGC. METHODS We retrospectively investigated 85 EGC in 82 patients who had undergone endoscopic resection at our hospital from August 2008 to October 2012. EGC without indications of curative resection were excluded. We re-examined the original paraffin blocks after shaving away approximately half their original thickness, and evaluated whether the pathological diagnoses were affected. This technique essentially doubled the number of sections examined. RESULTS Ten pathological diagnoses of 68 EGC (14.7%) were changed from curative resection to non-curative resection when we evaluated twice as many sections as in the standard method. The median tumor size was 25 mm in the changed diagnosis group versus 14.5 mm in the no change group (P = 0.03). The univariate analysis also showed that tumor size was a significant predictor of changed diagnosis (P = 0.015). Both the changed diagnosis group and no change group had no recurrence during follow up. CONCLUSIONS Histological evaluation of twice as many sections as usual changed the initial pathological diagnosis of EGC, although the clinical implication of an additional deeper section was controversial because there was no recurrence. Our analysis also emphasized the importance of detailed histological evaluation to confirm a radical cure in endoscopic resection, especially in the case of larger EGC.

Abstract
Two men (24 and 34 years of age) with a single hypervascular liver tumor were admitted to our hospital. The tumors were diagnosed as hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) by an ultrasound-guided biopsy and classified as inflammatory type by immunohistochemical staining. Considering the risk of malignant transformation, they underwent surgical resection. Although the serum levels of protein induced by vitamin K absence/antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) were slightly elevated, they normalized after the resection. The diagnosis of HCA including malignant transformation is often difficult by image findings alone. Careful immunohistochemical examinations are very useful for the diagnosis and classification of subgroups, including malignant transformation. In addition, we proved that HCA without malignant transformation expresses PIVKA-II.

Abstract
We have upgraded the new Tibet ASgamma experiment in China since 2014 to measure the chemical composition of cosmic rays around the knee. This hybrid experiment consist of an air-shower-core detector array (YAC-II) to detect high energy electromagnetic component, the Tibet air-shower array (Tibet-III) and a large underground water-Cherenkov muon-detector array (MD). We have carried out a detailed air-shower Monte Carlo (MC) simulation to study the performance of the hybrid detectors by using CORSIKA (version 7.5000), which includes EPOS-LHC, QGSJETII-04, SIBYLL2.1 and SIBYLL2.3 hadronic interaction models. The preliminary results of the interaction model checking above 50 TeV energy region are reported in this paper, and the primary proton and helium spectra in the energy range 50 TeV to 1015 eV was derived from YAC-I data and is smoothly connected with direct observation data at lower energies and also with our previously reported works at higher energies within statistical errors. The knee of the (P+He) spectra is located around 400 TeV. The interaction model dependence in deriving the primary (P+He) spectra is found to be small (less than 25% in absolute intensity, 10% in position of the knee), and the composition model dependence is less than 10% in absolute intensity.

Abstract
A 52-year-old woman developed vomiting and disturbance of consciousness after consuming raw fish and sushi on a trip. A blood test showed hyperammonemia (310 μg/dL) with a normal liver function. She fell into a deep coma, and her serum ammonia level increased to 684 μg/dL. L-arginine was administered as a diagnostic treatment for urea cycle disorder (UCD) and serum ammonia, and her consciousness levels improved. She was diagnosed with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) by analyses of plasma amino acids, urinary orotic acid, and the OTC gene mutation. UCD should be considered for patients with hyperammonemia without severe liver function abnormalities.

Abstract
A hybrid experiment has been started by the ASγ experiment at Yangbajing (4300m a.s.l.) in Tibet since May 2009, that consists of a high-energy air-shower-core array (YAC-I) and a high-density air-shower array (Tibet-III). In this paper, we report our results to check the hadronic interaction models SIBYLL2.3, SIBYLL2.1, EPOS-LHC and QGSJETII-04 in the multi-tens TeV energy region using YAC-I+Tibet-III experimental data from May 2009 through January 2010. The effective live time is calculated as 106.05 days. The results show that the description of transverse momentum, inelastic cross-section and inelasticity for the 4 hadronic interaction models is consistent with YAC-I experimental data within 15% systematic errors range in the forward region below 100 TeV. Among them, the EPOS-LHC model is the best hadronic interaction model. Furthermore, we find that the H4a composition model is the best one below the 100 TeV energy region.

Abstract
We analyze the temporal variation of the solar diurnal anisotropy of the multi-TeV cosmic-ray intensity observed with the Tibet air shower array from 2000 to 2009, covering the maximum and minimum of the 23rd solar cycle. We comfirm that a remarkable additional anisotropy component is superposed on the Compton-Getting anisotropy at 4.0 TeV, while its amplitude decreases at higher energy regions. In constrast to the additional anisotropy reported by the Matsushiro experiment at 0.6 TeV, we find the residual component measured by Tibet at multi-TeV energies is consistent with being stable, with a fairly constant amplitude of 0.041% ± 0.003% and a phase at around 07.17 ± 00.16 local solar time at 4.0 TeV. This suggests the additional anisotropy observed by the Tibet experiment could result from mechanisms unrelated to solar activities.

Abstract
Obesity is a major contributor to insulin resistance and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, which is the most common cause of chronic liver diseases. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) can progress to liver cirrhosis and end-stage liver diseases. Some cases already show severe liver fibrosis at the time of diagnosis. We present the case of a 44-year-old male with overt obesity who was admitted with hematemesis due to the rupture of gastric varices. We diagnosed him with NASH with severe liver fibrosis. This case shows that we should be concerned about the progression of liver fibrosis due to NASH associated with severe obesity even in young patients.

Abstract
An 83-year-old man underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for a 20-mm hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Couinaud's segment 4. Computed tomography (CT) 4 months after TACE showed tumor thrombus in the portal vein in addition to diffuse metastases and arterioportal shunts in the left lobe. Although we performed the best supportive care, the tumor thrombus in the portal vein and tumors in the left lobe had completely disappeared on CT 16 months after the TACE. Rapidly grown portal vein tumor thrombus and arterioportal shunt might be the causes of spontaneous regression of HCC, probably associated with tumor hypoxia.

Abstract
We analyze the Sun's shadow observed with the Tibet-III air shower array and find that the shadow's center deviates northward (southward) from the optical solar disk center in the "away" ("toward") interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) sector. By comparing with numerical simulations based on the solar magnetic field model, we find that the average IMF strength in the away (toward) sector is 1.54±0.21_{stat}±0.20_{syst} (1.62±0.15_{stat}±0.22_{syst}) times larger than the model prediction. These demonstrate that the observed Sun's shadow is a useful tool for the quantitative evaluation of the average solar magnetic field.

Abstract
Objective Cases of Japanese spotted fever (JSF) are sometimes complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) with an abnormal liver function, resulting in unfavorable outcomes. The aim of the present study was to clarify the correlation between liver function test results and DIC scores. Methods Twenty patients diagnosed with JSF between April 2010 and April 2014 were enrolled. Age, gender, disturbance of consciousness, body temperature, pulse rate, presence of diffuse erythema, eschar and swelling of lymph nodes, laboratory test results at the time of initial presentation such as blood cell count, C-reactive protein, liver function, renal function and blood coagulation and fibrinolysis, maximum Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM) DIC score during the course of JSF, treatment and the prognosis were retrospectively reviewed. Results The median age of the patients (8 men, 12 women) was 68.3 years. There were significant differences in the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and rothrombin time international normalized ratio (PT-INR) between the DIC and non-DIC groups using Mann-Whitney's U test. A multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the ALP and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels at the time of initial presentation were independent predictors of the occurrence of DIC. Conclusion We should pay special attention to JSF patients showing high levels of ALP at the initial presentation, since such patients may have a higher likelihood of developing DIC over the course of JSF and unfavorable outcomes than those with lower levels.

Abstract
We present possible observing scenarios for the Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors over the next decade, with the intention of providing information to the astronomy community to facilitate planning for multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational waves. We estimate the sensitivity of the network to transient gravitational-wave signals, and study the capability of the network to determine the sky location of the source. We report our findings for gravitational-wave transients, with particular focus on gravitational-wave signals from the inspiral of binary neutron star systems, which are the most promising targets for multi-messenger astronomy. The ability to localize the sources of the detected signals depends on the geographical distribution of the detectors and their relative sensitivity, and [Formula: see text] credible regions can be as large as thousands of square degrees when only two sensitive detectors are operational. Determining the sky position of a significant fraction of detected signals to areas of 5-[Formula: see text] requires at least three detectors of sensitivity within a factor of [Formula: see text] of each other and with a broad frequency bandwidth. When all detectors, including KAGRA and the third LIGO detector in India, reach design sensitivity, a significant fraction of gravitational-wave signals will be localized to a few square degrees by gravitational-wave observations alone.

Abstract
A 49-year-old woman with a history of heavy alcohol drinking was admitted to our hospital due to jaundice and abdominal distention. A blood test showed leukophilia, mild hypoalbuminemia, hyperbilirubinemia, hepatobiliary injury and coagulopathy. Image studies showed an extremely enlarged fatty liver and splenomegaly. The Japan alcoholic hepatitis score and Maddrey's discriminant function were 10 and 54 points, respectively. We diagnosed her with severe alcoholic hepatitis and treated her with corticosteroids, but her liver function did not improve. We therefore administered the vitamin E product tochopheryl acetate (150 mg/day) as an add-on therapy, after which her leukophilia, liver enzymes and coagulopathy improved immediately.
