Abstract
[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate whether modification of vastus medialis activity can delay the varus thrust. [Participants and Methods] Ten participants (Kellgren-Laurence grades I: n=2, II: n=6, and III: n=2) diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis were enrolled. The intervention involved free walking on a 10-m walkway at any speed after donning a functional electrical stimulation set to contract the vastus medialis before heel contact. Using a Vicon Nexus ground reaction force meter and a wireless electromyograph DELSYS, varus thrust, maximal knee extension angle, maximal knee adduction moment, and vastus medialis onset time were assessed both before and after intervention. [Results] A significant difference in varus thrust was detected from before to after the intervention (2.7 ± 1.1° vs. 2.2 ± 1.3°). Both the vastus medialis activation time (-0.06 ± 0.09 vs. -0.21 ± 0.1) and the knee-joint extension angle (8.7 ± 5.1° vs. 5.5 ± 5.9°) decreased following intervention, whereas the knee adduction moment significantly increased (0.50 ± 0.20° vs 0.56 ± 0.18°). [Conclusion] Wearing the functional electrical stimulation set caused the vastus medialis to act earlier in response to heel strike, thereby improving the knee-joint extension angle and suppressing varus thrust.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence suggests that non-viral hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) might benefit less from immunotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from consecutive patients with non-viral advanced HCC, treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, lenvatinib, or sorafenib, in 36 centers in 4 countries (Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, and UK). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib. Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib, and OS and PFS with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib. For the primary and secondary endpoints, we carried out the analysis on the whole population first, and then we divided the cohort into two groups: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) population and non-NAFLD/NASH population. RESULTS One hundred and ninety patients received atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, 569 patients received lenvatinib, and 210 patients received sorafenib. In the whole population, multivariate analysis showed that treatment with lenvatinib was associated with a longer OS [hazard ratio (HR) 0.65; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44-0.95; P = 0.0268] and PFS (HR 0.67; 95% CI 0.51-0.86; P = 0.002) compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. In the NAFLD/NASH population, multivariate analysis confirmed that lenvatinib treatment was associated with a longer OS (HR 0.46; 95% CI 0.26-0.84; P = 0.0110) and PFS (HR 0.55; 95% CI 0.38-0.82; P = 0.031) compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. In the subgroup of non-NAFLD/NASH patients, no difference in OS or PFS was observed between patients treated with lenvatinib and those treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. All these results were confirmed following propensity score matching analysis. By comparing patients receiving atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib, no statistically significant difference in survival was observed. CONCLUSIONS The present analysis conducted on a large number of advanced non-viral HCC patients showed for the first time that treatment with lenvatinib is associated with a significant survival benefit compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, in particular in patients with NAFLD/NASH-related HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment remains a big challenge in the field of oncology. The liver disease (viral or not viral) underlying HCC turned out to be crucial in determining the biologic behavior of the tumor, including its response to treatment. The aim of this analysis was to investigate the role of the etiology of the underlying liver disease in survival outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective study on a large cohort of patients treated with lenvatinib as first-line therapy for advanced HCC from both Eastern and Western institutions. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS Among the 1232 lenvatinib-treated HCC patients, 453 (36.8%) were hepatitis C virus positive, 268 hepatitis B virus positive (21.8%), 236 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) correlate (19.2%) and 275 had other etiologies (22.3%). The median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 6.2 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 5.9-6.7 months] and the median overall survival (mOS) was 15.8 months (95% CI 14.9-17.2 months). In the univariate analysis for OS NASH-HCC was associated with longer mOS [22.2 versus 15.1 months; hazard ratio (HR) 0.69; 95% CI 0.56-0.85; P = 0.0006]. In the univariate analysis for PFS NASH-HCC was associated with longer mPFS (7.5 versus 6.5 months; HR 0.84; 95% CI 0.71-0.99; P = 0.0436). The multivariate analysis confirmed NASH-HCC (HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.48-0.86; P = 0.0028) as an independent prognostic factor for OS, along with albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade, extrahepatic spread, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, portal vein thrombosis, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and alpha-fetoprotein. An interaction test was performed between sorafenib and lenvatinib cohorts and the results highlighted the positive predictive role of NASH in favor of the lenvatinib arm (P = 0.0047). CONCLUSION NASH has been identified as an independent prognostic factor in a large cohort of patients with advanced HCC treated with lenvatinib, thereby suggesting the role of the etiology in the selection of patients for tyrosine kinase treatment. If validated, this result could provide new insights useful to improve the management of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have indicated that the kinematics of the knee joint affect the trunk and pelvis during gait. However, the factors that influence trunk movement in knee osteoarthritis patients during gait after surgery remain unclear. OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on trunk movement during gait by comparing knee osteoarthritis patients with healthy controls. METHODS Fourteen medial knee osteoarthritis patients who underwent initial unilateral TKA and 11 controls participated in this study. Knee and hip joint flexion and trunk and pelvic tilts during gait were acquired using a three-dimensional motion analysis system. Knee joint range of motion, pain, and kinematic data were collected preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively for knee osteoarthritis patients. RESULTS Knee extension limitation and pain significantly improved postoperatively compared with preoperative stages. Preoperatively, the peak anterior trunk tilt during the stance phase was significantly larger in osteoarthritis patients than in controls. The peak anterior trunk tilt during the stance phase was significantly smaller postoperatively than at preoperative stages. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that after TKA, the trunk movements of knee osteoarthritis patients were approximately equal to those of controls, with improvement in clinical outcomes such as knee extension limitation and pain.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between knee biomechanics and clinical assessments in ACL deficient patients. Subjects included 22 patients with unilateral ACL rupture and 22 healthy controls. Knee kinematics and kinetics during walking and running were examined using a 3-dimensional motion analysis system. The passive knee joint laxity, range of motion of knee joint, and knee muscle strength were also measured. Correlations between the knee kinematic and kinetic data and clinical assessments were evaluated. In the ACL deficient patients, there were no significant relationships between tibial translation during walking and running and passive knee joint laxity. The correlations between knee kinematics and kinetics and range of motion of knee joint were also not significant. Additionally, there were no significant correlations between knee kinematics during walking and knee muscle strength. However, there were several significant correlations between knee kinematics during running and knee muscle strength. The results demonstrate the importance of knee muscle strength for knee kinematics and kinetics during running in ACL deficient patients. Patients with stronger knee muscle strength may demonstrate more nearly normal knee joint movement during dynamic activities such as running.

Abstract
SummaryIsolation of adenylate cyclase-enriched membranes from human platelets was attempted using glycerol lysis technique followed by ultracentrifugation on discontinuous sucrose gradients composed of 24, 30, 34, 37, and 41% (w/w). Adenylate cyclase activity was enriched 4-fold in sample/24% sucrose interface, 7-fold in 24%/30% sucrose interface, and 4-fold in 30%/ 34% sucrose interface fractions with the recovery of 15-20% of the total activity. The enrichment and subcellular distribution of adenylate cyclase resembled in general those of phosphodiesterase and acid phosphatase with slight differences in each other. Protein profiles from SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the heavy chain of myosin (Mr = 200,000) was enriched in sample/24% sucrose interface and lower molecular weight proteins in 34%/37% sucrose interface and pellet. The interface fractions between 24 and 34% sucrose were, therefore, collected as adenylate cyclase-enriched membranes.Adenylate cyclase associated with the membranes displayed high specific activity (0.1 and 1-2 nmol/min/mg protein in the absence and presence of stimulants, respectively), and possessed sensitivities to prostaglandins (E1, I2, and D2) as well as cholera toxin. Activation of adenylate cyclase by these compounds required added GTP, indicating that the contamination of the membrane preparations with GTP-like substance (s) was minimal, if at all present.

Abstract
We compared the background characteristics of patients with chronic hepatitis C who achieved eradication of hepatitis C virus (HCV), that is sustained virologic response (SVR), with interferon (IFN)-based versus IFN-free antiviral therapy in Japan. In addition, we used a previously reported risk assessment model to compare the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after SVR by treatment type. Pretreatment characteristics of 1533 patients who achieved SVR with IFN-based therapy and 1086 patients with IFN-free therapy from five institutions across Japan were compared. The risk of HCC after SVR was assessed based on pretreatment characteristics, and the incidence of HCC after SVR was estimated in both groups. Age and serum alpha-fetoprotein levels were higher, platelet count was lower, and liver fibrosis was more advanced in patients who achieved SVR with IFN-free therapy compared with IFN-based therapy. The incidence of HCC after SVR in the IFN-free group was estimated to be more than twofold higher than in the IFN-based therapy group (7.29% vs. 3.09%, and 6.23% vs. 3.01% when excluding patients who have underwent curative treatment for HCC). There are large differences in pretreatment characteristics between patients who achieved SVR with IFN-based and IFN-free therapies in Japan, which are associated with differential risk of HCC after SVR. These differences can influence the incidence of HCC after SVR and should be taken into consideration when comparing IFN-based and IFN-free therapies in terms of hepatocarcinogenesis suppression with HCV eradication.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gait kinematics and kinetics of the knee before and after medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction in patients with recurrent lateral patellar dislocation (RPD) are unknown. The purpose of this study was to measure knee kinematics and kinetics during gait before and 1 year after anatomical MPFL reconstruction in patients with RPD and compare the results to healthy individuals. METHODS Eleven RPD patients were treated using an anatomical MPFL reconstruction procedure. Gait analysis was conducted before and at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. For comparison, 15 healthy volunteers with no history of orthopaedic problems in their lower limbs were included as the control group. Knee kinematics and kinetics were analysed during gait. RESULTS Before surgery, the internal knee extension moment in RPD patients was significantly lower than in controls (P = 0.025). At 3 months post-operatively, there was an additional decrease in knee extension moment compared to before surgery, and so it was still significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.01). One year post-operatively, knee extension moment in the RPD group was significantly increased compared to 3 months post-operatively (P < 0.01). The knee flexion angle in the early stance phase in the RPD group at 3 months post-operatively was significantly lower than that of controls (P < 0.01). Knee kinematics and kinetics were similar to that of controls 1 year after surgery. CONCLUSION Initially, RPD patients had lower knee extension moments during gait compared with controls, but by 1 year after MPFL reconstruction, knee kinematics and kinetics of gait in the RPD patients had returned to normal. These observations indicate that MPFL reconstruction may help to delay prospective knee OA as long as possible by restoring the conformation of the patellofemoral joint and gait biomechanics by surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), dynamic knee loading may loosen the artificial joint and bone or cause polyethylene wear after prolonged use. TKA decreases knee adduction moment at 6 months, but this effect is lost by 1 year post-operatively. However, lateral thrust after TKA has not been clarified. We hypothesized that like knee adduction moment, lateral thrust would return to baseline levels by 1 year post-operatively. METHODS Participants were 15 patients who underwent TKA for medial knee OA. Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, numeric rating scale, and gait analysis (measurement of peak knee adduction moment, knee varus angle at peak knee adduction moment, lateral thrust, and gait speed) were performed preoperatively (baseline) and 3 weeks, 3 and 6 months, and 1 year post-operatively. RESULTS JOA score improved from 55 ± 9.8 to 78 ± 12.1 at 1 year post-operatively, and pain decreased significantly from baseline at each follow-up (p < 0.001). Significant increases in gait speed were observed at 6 months and 1 year (p < 0.001). Peak knee adduction moment during stance phase was significantly lower at 3 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months compared to baseline (p < 0.05), but no significant changes were seen at 1 year. Knee varus at peak knee adduction moment did not differ significantly between any measurement points, while lateral thrust was decreased at 6 months and 1 year compared to baseline (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Temporal courses of changes up to 1 year after TKA differed between knee adduction moment and lateral thrust, so our hypothesis was rejected. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE Most patients with chronic hepatitis C show virological response to telaprevir-based triple therapy, and achieve an end-of-treatment response (ETR). However, some patients showing ETR develop virological relapse. This study was carried out to evaluate factors associated with relapse after triple therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective, multicentric study was conducted in chronic hepatitis C patients who received telaprevir-based triple therapy. We evaluated independent variables such as age, with or without cirrhosis, prior treatment response to interferon (IFN) therapy, IL28B genotype, core amino acid (aa) 70 mutation, drug adherence, white blood cell counts, hemoglobin level, and serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level. The characteristics of the patients who relapsed after achieving ETR were compared with those who did not. RESULTS Among 168 patients, 157 patients achieved ETR (93.5%) and 11 discontinued. Of these 157 patients, relapse occurred in 21 patients (13.4%). Nineteen patients (90.5%) of 21 relapsed patients had the IL28B non-TT genotype (P = 1.79 × 10 -9 ). Multivariate analysis identified core amino acid 70 [P = 0.018, crude odds ratio (OR): 6.927] and the IL28B genotype (P = 3.758 × 10 -5 , crude OR: 39.311) as significantly independent factors that influenced the relapse-related variables. Among the 49 patients with the IL28B non-TT, 18 patients had core aa70 mutation and 31 patients had core aa70 wild-type. In addition, 66.7% (12/18) of those with core aa70 mutation and 22.6% (7/31) of those with core aa70 wild-type developed relapse (P = 0.005). DISCUSSION Core aa70 mutation and the IL28B non-TT genotype were identified as independent factors that influenced relapse after achievement of ETR for telaprevir-based triple therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Most individuals with an isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury do not complain of disability even if posterior instability is objectively revealed by a static physical examination, such as the posterior drawer test. This suggests it is insufficient to only evaluate posterior instability under static conditions. Therefore, we have investigated the effect of isolated PCL injury on the detailed kinematics of the knee in a dynamic environment such as during gait. METHODS Eight unilateral PCL-deficient males and eight healthy control volunteers participated in this study. Isolated PCL injury was diagnosed by clinical examination. Stress X-ray imaging showed an average side-to-side difference of 12.7 ± 3.5 mm. Knee kinematics including anteroposterior tibial displacement were analysed during walking using the point cluster technique. RESULTS Posterior tibial displacement from initial contact was significantly smaller during 9-22 % of the gait cycle by an average of 0.4 cm in the PCL group, compared to controls. In the PCL-deficient knee, the external rotational angle increased by an average of 3.3° at the loading response during 3-11 % of the gait cycle and the varus angle from initial contact increased by an average of 2.0° during 28-52 % of the gait cycle, compared to controls. CONCLUSIONS Dynamic changes in the rotation and posterior translation patterns were seen after isolated PCL injury, suggesting the kinematics of PCL-deficient knees might be different to normal knees. These factors may contribute to long-term osteoarthritic change. Consequently, when choosing conservative treatment for PCL injury, these changes should be considered to prevent osteoarthritic change. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many stroke and neuromuscular patients with paraplegia or severe hemiparesis cannot control trunk balance. OBJECTIVE To support the pelvis/hip of paresis patients, a new pelvic/hip support system was developed bearing a convex pressing member placed over the post-trochanteric groove, a cutaneous landmark sited on the lateral portion of the gluteus maximus muscle and indicating the posterior aspect of the greater trochanter. STUDY DESIGN Preliminary study. METHODS Stance control differences in two paretic patients (Guillain-Barré syndrome and stroke sequelae) with or without post-trochanteric groove support were examined. The contact pressure on the post-trochanteric groove was examined in eight healthy volunteers using an impact force sensor. The pelvic-lumbar movement was also examined using three-dimensional motion analysis, and the gluteus muscles activity was evaluated using surface electromyography. RESULTS Without post-trochanteric groove support, total three-dimensional displacement of the sacral marker was longer in the paresis patients than in normal controls, while post-trochanteric groove support decreased this distance. Post-trochanteric groove support provided compression pressure on the post-trochanteric groove, and all subjects showed a more upright trunk position, providing more anterior pelvic tilting. Six of eight subjects showed increased lumbar lordosis. Five of eight subjects showed gluteus maximus and/or gluteus medius muscle activation. CONCLUSION The mechanisms of post-trochanteric groove support were suggested to be spino-pelvic coordination and gluteal muscle activation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The post-trochanteric groove is a cutaneous landmark located behind the pelvis/hip joint. Applying pressure to the post-trochanteric groove from behind pushes the trunk to adopt a more upright position, leading to improved stance control. Underlining mechanisms appear to be spino-pelvic coordination and gluteal muscle activation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High tibial osteotomy (HTO) for medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) is mainly performed via two procedures: closing wedge HTO (CW) and opening wedge HTO (OW). In this study, differences between these procedures were assessed by serial clinical evaluation and gait analysis before and after surgery. METHODS Twenty-one patients underwent HTO for medial knee OA in 2011 and 2012, with 12 patients undergoing CW and nine undergoing OW. The severity of OA was classified according to the Kellgren-Lawrence classification. The Japanese Orthopedic Association score for assessment of knee OA (JOA score), the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and the femoral tibial angle (FTA) on X-ray were evaluated. For gait analysis, gait speed, varus moment, varus angle and lateral thrust were calculated. RESULTS The JOA score and NRS were improved significantly one year postoperatively in both groups. The FTA was maintained in both groups at one year. Varus angle and varus moment were significantly improved in both groups at each postoperative follow-up, when compared preoperatively. Lateral thrust was significantly improved at three months postoperatively in both groups. However, the significant improvement in lateral thrust had disappeared in the CW group six months postoperatively, whereas it was maintained for at least one year in the OW group. CONCLUSIONS This study found that clinical outcomes were well maintained after HTO. OW reduced knee varus moment and lateral thrust, whereas CW had little effect on reducing lateral thrust. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the deeper structures of the optic nerve and to analyze the shape of eyes with tilted disc syndrome (TDS) by swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) and three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (3D MRI). METHODS The medical records of 54 eyes of 36 patients with TDS were reviewed. The patients with TDS and high myopia were analyzed separately from those without high myopia. All the eyes were examined with a swept-source OCT, and 22 of the eyes were examined by 3D MRI. RESULTS A total of 38 eyes of 29 patients were highly myopic and 16 eyes of 15 patients were not highly myopic. The representative OCT findings of the optic disc were: a sloping of the lamina cribrosa posteriorly from the upper part to the lower part, a protrusion of the upper edge of Bruch's membrane, and choroid. The distance and the depth of the most protruded point from the fovea were significantly greater in the eyes with non-highly myopic TDS than those with highly myopic TDS. In the 3D MRI, the lower part of the posterior segment was protruded outward, and the optic nerves attached at the upper nasal edge of the protrusion. CONCLUSIONS The abnormalities detected by swept-source OCT and 3D MRI analyses indicate the possibility that the essential pathology of TDS is a deformity of the inferior globe below the optic nerve, and the positional relation between the fovea and the inferior protrusion determines the degree of myopia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the anatomic characteristics of eyes with pathological myopia and peripapillary intrachoroidal cavitation (ICC) located temporal to the optic disc. METHODS A total of 125 with pathologic myopia were scanned with swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT). Temporal ICC was defined as ICC located temporal to the optic disc seen in horizontal OCT section through the optic disc center. Definition of pathologic myopia was refractive error >8.00 diopters (D) or an axial length >26.5 mm. RESULTS In all, 17 eyes of 16 patients had temporal ICC. All of the eyes had temporal or temporally wider annular conus. The ICC was observed temporal to the optic disc in 15 of 17 eyes, and 2 of the remaining eyes also had inferior ICC. Even in the two eyes with both temporal and inferior ICC, the temporal ICC was much wider than the inferior ICC. Inner retinal defect at the border of conus and temporal ICC was detected in two eyes. The temporal ICC was extensive in the posterior fundus with the average width of 1467.8 ± 1328.1 μm (range; 442-6200 μm) in a horizontal section. In two eyes, the temporal ICC extended beyond the central fovea. CONCLUSIONS Peripapillary ICC can develop temporal to the optic disc without involving the area inferior to optic disc in highly myopic eyes. Temporal ICC appeared much wider than inferior ICC, which is usually restricted to the area around the optic disc. The possible reasons why ICC develops in temporal to the optic disc are presented.

Abstract
An 83-year-old woman was referred to our emergency department with acute urticaria and sudden shortness of breath approximately 30 min after taking rectal diclofenac potassium for lumbago. After treatment with adrenaline and corticosteroids, the patient became hemodynamically stable and left the hospital on the next day. She attended our hospital 1 week after the onset of anaphylaxis because of repeated postprandial epigastric pain. No abnormal lesions were found in endoscopy. Radiographic selective catheter angiography revealed chronic mesenteric ischemia caused by atherosclerosis and abundant collateral arteries between the celiac trunk, the superior mesenteric artery and the inferior mesenteric artery. Patients with chronic mesenteric ischemia usually present with a clinical syndrome characterized by painful abdominal cramps and colic occurring typically during the postprandial phase. Fear of eating resulted in malnutrition. She was prescribed proton pump inhibitor, digestants, anticholinergic agents, serine protease inhibitors, prokinetics, antiplatelet agents and transdermal nitroglycerin intermittently, but these had no beneficial effects. It was most probable that this patient with chronic atherosclerotic mesenteric ischemia was suffering from functional abdominal pain syndrome induced by anaphylaxis. Since psychiatric disorders were associated with alterations in the processing of visceral sensation, we facilitated the patient's understanding of functional abdominal pain syndrome with the psychologist. Postprandial abdominal pain gradually faded after administration of these drugs and the patient left the hospital. Developing a satisfactory patient-physician relationship was considered more effective for the management of persistent abdominal pain caused by complicated mechanisms.

Abstract
A 48-year-old female with abdominal pain and malaise who showed delayed symptom of acute gastroenteritis came to see us. Her illness was diagnosed as norovirus infection, but liver dysfunction accompanied this gastroenteritis. We investigated the pathogenesis of this hepatitis for all causes including drugs, but we could not detect norovirus infection. The liver damage improved shortly in course of the gastroenteritis. She recovered completely within 2 weeks without any damage left. Norovirus-induced liver dysfunction is not known, and there is no report in the literature. We report, for the first time, the case of liver dysfunction with norovirus gastroenteritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis affects the whole body, thus biomechanical effects on other joints should be considered. Unloading knee braces could be effective for knee osteoarthritis, but their effects on the contralateral knee and bilateral hip joints remain unknown. This study investigated the effects of bracing on the kinematics and kinetics of involved and contralateral joints during gait. METHODS Nineteen patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis were analysed. Kinematics and kinetics of the knee and hip joints in frontal and sagittal planes were measured during walking without and with bracing on the more symptomatic knee. FINDINGS The ipsilateral hip in the braced condition showed a lower adduction angle by an average of 2.58° (range, 1.05°-4.16°) during 1%-49% of the stance phase, and a lower abduction moment at the second peak during the stance phase than the hip in the unbraced condition (P<0.05 and P<0.005, respectively). With bracing, the contralateral hip showed a more marked peak extension moment and lower abduction moment at the first peak (P<0.05), and the contralateral knee adduction angle increased by an average of 0.32° (range, 0.21°-0.45°) during 46%-55% of the stance phase (P<0.05), compared to no bracing. INTERPRETATION Unloading bracing modified the contralateral knee adduction angle pattern at a specific time point during gait. It also affected the frontal plane on the ipsilateral hip and the frontal and sagittal planes on the contralateral hip joint. Consideration should be provided to other joints when treating knee osteoarthritis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the genetic risk factors of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are associated with the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in highly myopic eyes of elderly Japanese. METHODS Highly myopic elderly Japanese patients with and without CNV were genotyped for three AMD-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), namely rs10490924 (A69S) of ARMS2, rs11200638 of HTRA1, and rs1061170 (Y402H) of complement factor H (CFH), with the TaqMan SNP assay. One hundred and eighty-three unrelated highly myopic (axial lengths>26.00 mm or refractive errors>-6.0 diopters) Japanese patients with CNV who were >or=50 years of age (mean age+/-standard deviation of 62.7+/-6.3 years) and 170 highly myopic patients without CNV who were >or=50 years old (62.3+/-7.1 years) were studied. The differences in the genotypic distributions for the three SNPs between the two groups were tested with the Trend chi2 test, and logistic regression analyses were performed for age and gender adjustment. RESULTS No significant difference was detected in the distribution of the three SNPs, rs10490924 (P>0.1), rs11200638 (P>0.1), and rs1061170 (P>0.5), between the two groups even after adjustments for age and gender differences. CONCLUSION The genetic risk factors of AMD related to these SNPs do not contribute significantly to the development of CNV in a highly myopic elderly Japanese population.

Abstract
7561 Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy is standard of care for patients with completely resected stage IB, II and IIIA NSCLC. However, the optimum chemotherapy regimen has not been determined. TORG 0503 was conducted to evaluate platinum-based third generation regimens in this clinical setting. Methods: Patients with completely resected stage IB, IIA, IIB or stage IIIA NSCLC were stratified by stage (IB/IIA vs. IIB/IIIA) and institution and randomized to receive 3 cycles of DOC (60 mg/m2, day 1) plus CIS (80 mg/m2, day 1) or 3 cycles of PAC (200 mg/m2, day 1) plus CAR (AUC 6, day 1). Both regimens were repeated every 3 - 4 weeks. Other eligibility criteria included ECOG PS 0–1, age ≥20, and =<70 years old, adequate organ function, no prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Patients who underwent pneumonectomy were excluded. The primary endpoint was 2-year relapse free survival (RFS), and secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), quality of life (QOL), feasibility and toxicity. Results: 111 patients were randomized between April 2006 and July 2008, 58 patients to DOC+CIS (DC) and 53 to PAC+CAR (PA). Patients’ demographics (DC/PA): median age 63/59 years, 60%/66% male, 17%/22% PS 1, 79%/73% adenocarcinoma, 40%/40% of patients were stage IB/IIA, 60%/60% IIB/IIIA. Feasibility: 93% (54/58) of patients allocated to DC and 92% (49/53) patients in the PA arm completed 3 planned cycles of chemotherapy. Toxicities: DC vs. PA: Grade (G) 3/4 neutropenia (86%/75%), G3/4 anemia (2%/0%). G 3 febrile neutropenia (10%/4%), G2 ALT (0%/10%), G2 creatinine (17%/0%), G2–4 allergy (0%/4%), G2 alopecia (43%/47%), G2/3 fatigue (5%/10%), G2/3 anorexia (43%/22%), G2/3 nausea (47%/22%), G2/3 vomiting (31%/12%), G2 diarrhea (12%/8%), G2 constipation (2%/4%), G2/3 sensory neuropathy (3%/33%), G2/3 arthralgia (0%/31%), G2 myalgia (2%/8%). No treatment related deaths were observed in either arm. Conclusions: Both docetaxel plus cisplatin and paclitaxel plus carboplatin are safe and feasible regimens as adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Aims: To investigate the morphological changes that occur during the development of an early retinal detachment (RD) from a myopic macular retinoschisis (MRS) by optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: The OCT images of five eyes of five consecutive patients with myopic MRS who developed an RD during the follow-up period were studied. Results: The progression from MRS to early RDs went through four stages. In stage 1, OCT images appeared to show a focal irregularity of the thickness of external retina. In stage 2, an outer lamellar hole developed within the thickened area and a small RD developed. In stage 3, the column-like structures overlying the hole seemed to be separated horizontally, and the outer lamellar hole appeared to be larger vertically. In stage 4, the upper edge of the external retina was further elevated and attached to the upper part of the retinoschisis layer accompanied by further enlargement of the RD. Conclusions: This longitudinal study showed that the progression from myopic MRS to RD passes through four stages, and the formation of an outer lamellar hole predisposes the retina to a RD. These OCT findings might be useful for considering the surgical indication for eyes with a myopic MRS.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is associated with a decreased salivary flow as well as gastric acid production. This study therefore aimed to investigate functional disorders of salivary glands in patients with GERD. METHODS Thirty-one consecutive patients with GERD underwent salivary gland scintigraphy. RESULTS If the results defined the optimal cutoff point for determining the decreased salivary secretion as 51 % in parotid glands and 36 % in submandibular glands, a decreased salivary secretion of right parotid gland, left parotid gland, right submandibular gland, and left submandibular gland was found in 39 %, 32 %, 36 %, and 58 %, respectively. Overall, salivary function disorder of at least one major salivary gland was found in 24 patients (78 %) with GERD. There was no difference in the incidence of impaired salivary function between GERD patients with and without erosive esophagitis. Salivary gland function was more frequently diminished than expected in GERD. We concluded that the presence of impaired salivary gland function was considered to be one of risk factors for developing GERD symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Poor oral health has been reported to be a risk indicator of mortality, however, few data are available regarding the relationship between chewing ability and mortality. We examined the relationship between self-assessed chewing ability and mortality in elderly subjects. DESIGN Prospective study. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Participating in the study were 697 people (277 males, 420 females) from 1282 individuals (80 years old) residing in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. Data on oral and systemic health status through questionnaires, accompanied by physical and laboratory blood examinations were obtained. Chewing ability was assessed based on the number of types of food each subject reported as able to chew by questionnaire. RESULTS A total of 108 subjects died between 1998 and 2002. Those with the lowest number of chewable foods were associated with higher risk of mortality than those with the ability to chew all of the 15 types of food surveyed [hazard ratio (HR) = 2.38, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 1.07-5.29], though other parameters including current smoking, low serum albumin, and poor physical health status were more significant. Further, reduced chewing ability of soft foods increased the risk (HR = 2.65, 95% CI = 1.20-5.87). CONCLUSION Chewing ability was associated with mortality in a population of 80-year-old community residents, and may be a predictor for survival rate.
