Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite initial delay, Japan's COVID-19 vaccination accelerated remarkably from May to September 2021 under the leadership of Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. His "campaign" for vaccination, however, did not yield uniform results nationwide. METHODS To highlight political determinants for the regional variation, we employ ordinary least squares regression analyses to investigate how the share/presence of incumbent politicians belonging to the governing parties, the Liberal Democratic Party and Komei Party, influenced the varying progress of rollouts across prefectures as well as across cities/towns/villages. The data on the vaccination rate for all 47 prefectures was obtained from Government Chief Information Officer (CIO)'s Portal, Japan (GCPJ) approximately one month prior to the anticipated general election, the national election for the more important House of Representatives of Japan's bicameral parliament (Diet). The data for lower administrative units, though its availability was limited to only three prefectures, was obtained from the respective governments of Kagawa and Ehime and from a local newspaper in Gifu. RESULTS The findings reveal that at both prefectural and sub-prefectural administrative levels, the share/presence of the governing parties' representation in the national parliament had a positive and statistically significant effect on the region's vaccination progress, after controlling for the local proliferation of COVID-19 and demographic characteristics. CONCLUSION Our findings contribute insights into the understudied area of the contemporary COVID-19 health environment, namely how the political dynamics of democracy affect the pattern of vaccine dissemination in Japan.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although risk stratification is important in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) to predict patient prognosis, pre-existing risk models have not often been used due to its complexity. Recently, machine learning methods have been presented as an alternative approach to analyzing the predictive probability of large clinical datasets.
Purpose
The aim of this study is to develop a user-friendly risk score developed by one of machine learning methods and compare the performance of the new risk score to the existing conventional risk models.
Methods
A machine-learning-based risk model was developed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression by identifying predictors of in-hospital mortality in the derivation cohort (REALITY-AHF) and externally validating and comparing its performance with two pre-existing risk models: the Get With The Guidelines risk score incorporating brain natriuretic peptide and hypochloremia (GWTG-BNP-Cl-RS) and the acute decompensated heart failure national registry (ADHERE) risk model.
Results
In-hospital deaths in the derivation and validation (NARA-HF) cohorts were 76 (5.1%) and 61 (4.9%), respectively. The risk score comprised four variables (systolic blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen, serum chloride, and C-reactive protein) and was developed according to the results of the LASSO regression weighting the coefficient for selected variables using a logistic regression model (4V-RS). Even though 4V-RS comprised fewer variables, In the validation cohort, it showed a higher area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) than the ADHERE risk model (AUC, 0.783 vs. 0.740; P=0.059) and a significant improvement in net reclassification (0.359; 95% CI, 0.10–0.67; p=0.006). 4V-RS performed similarly to GWTG-BNP-Cl-RS in terms of discrimination (AUC, 0.783 vs. 0.759; p=0.426) and net reclassification (0.176; 95% CI, −0.08–0.43; p=0.178).
Conclusions
The 4V-RS model comprising only four readily available data points at the time of admission performed similarly to the more complex pre-existing risk model in patients with AHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The development of resistance to endocrine therapy appears to have become a major clinical problem of hormone receptor (HR) positive breast cancer. Drug resistance is associated with changes of the tumor microenvironment due to tumor hypoxia. Eribulin, a nontaxane, synthetic microtuble dynamics inhibitor, induces G2/M cell cycle arrest. Interestingly, it also has some unique anticancer effects in breast cancer cells, such as improvement of tumor perfusion and hypoxia. In this study, we investigated the effect of eribulin for endocrine therapy resistant breast cancer. Materials and Methods: We established hypoxia resistant HR positive/human epithelial growth receptor 2 (HER2) negative breast cancer cell lines, via continuous culturing in hypoxic environment. Parental and hypoxia resistant cell lines were treated with eribulin, followed by estrogen receptor (ER), epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and hypoxia related gene and protein expression changes in each surviving cells by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and western blot, respectively. In addition, proliferation assay was conducted in these breast cancer cell lines treated with tamoxifen alone and tamoxifen plus eribulin. For the in vivo experiment, we produced subcutaneous xenografts of each cell lines. We treated these tumors with tamoxifen alone and tamoxifen plus eribulin, and analyzed their growth activity and protein expression by immunohistochemical study of surgically resected tissues. Results: Though parental HR positive/HER2 negative breast cancer cell lines displayed an epithelial-like cuboidal phenotype, hypoxia resistant cell lines displayed a mesenchymal-like spindle-shaped phenotype. In addition, hypoxia resistant cell lines significantly decreased the expression of epithelial and ER related markers, and exhibited a higher level of resistance to tamoxifen treatment. On the other hand, eribulin treatment for hypoxia resistant cell lines increased epithelial and ER related gene and protein expressions, and enhanced the anticancer effect of tamoxifen. In in vivo xenograft models, eribulin treatment for hypoxia resistant tumor with resistance to tamoxifen induced re-expression of ER. Also, hypoxia resistant tumor after administration of eribulin became effective with tamoxifen treatment. Conclusions: Eribulin improve the tumor microenvironment changed by hypoxia, and induce re-expression of ER in hypoxia resistant breast cancer cells. Eribulin treatment for HR positive breast cancer with resistance to endocrine therapy makes possibility of re-administration of endocrine therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Various immunosuppressive factors that inhibit the immune response to cancer are present in cancer cells and the cancer microenvironment. Co-inhibitory and co-stimulatory receptors are dynamically expressed on T-cells as immunoadjuvant molecules that regulate the state of T-cell activity. In this report we focus on immunoadjuvant molecules such as LAG-3, TIM-3, and OX-40, for which there have been few published reports. We investigated the expression of LAG-3, TIM-3 and OX-40 in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), and clinically verified the significance of that expression in relation to neoadjuvant thermotherapy (NAC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 177 patients with resectable early-stage breast cancer were treated with NAC. Estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), Ki67, LAG-3, TIM-3 and OX-40 status were assessed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The group with low-LAG-3 expression was significantly smaller than the group with high expression in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) (p=0.038) and HER2-enriched breast cancer (HER2BC) (p=0.021), while the total number of pathological complete response (pCR) patients was greater (p<0.001). In TNBC and HER2BC, the pCR rate was significantly higher in the low-LAG-3 expression group than in the high-LAG-3 expression group (p<0.001 and p=0.02, respectively). Moreover, on multivariate analysis low-LAG-3 expression status was an independent predictor of favorable prognosis (TNBC: p=0.014, HR=8.124; HER2BC: p=0.048, HR=10.400). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that LAG-3 may become a biomarker in highly malignant breast cancers such as TNBC and HER2BC that can predict the therapeutic efficacy of NAC.

Abstract
The patient was a 64-year-old woman. The patient was operated for left breast cancer(pT2N0M0, stage ⅡA, Luminal A). Eight years after surgery, CT findings revealed lung metastasis in the S8 and S9 areas of the left lung. The patient was treated with a combination of abemaciclib and letrozole, which resulted in a partial response(PR). One year after treatment, the lung metastases remained small, but multiple interstitial shadows appeared in both lower lung fields. The patient was diagnosed with drug-induced interstitial lung disease(Grade 1), and abemaciclib withdrawal and steroid therapy were initiated. After 3 months of treatment with prednisolone at 30 mg/day, the interstitial shadows tended to improve on CT, but a liver abscess was found in the S8 area of the right lobe of the liver. Prednisolone was tapered and abemaciclib was resumed at a dose of 200 mg/day, resulting in scarring of the lung injury and resolution of the liver abscess. The patient's PR was maintained for 18 months after relapse. We report a case of liver abscess during treatment of abemaciclib-induced interstitial lung disease.

Abstract
For qualitative diagnosis of breast mass, core needle biopsy(CNB)and fine-needle aspiration biopsy cytology(FNAC)are widely used. Overseas, vacuum-assisted biopsy(VAB)is often the first choice for qualitative diagnosis, and its proper use has become a clinical issue. In addition, with the progress of diagnostic imaging in recent years, the chances of finding micro-lesions such as ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS)are increasing. Since a sufficient amount of tissue sample is required for these diagnoses and abundant biopsy materials are required, tissue biopsy by VAB may be desirable. The advantage of tissue biopsy with VAB is that accurate definitive diagnosis is possible by collecting a sufficient amount of tissue to obtain pretreatment tissue information. On the other hand, there is concern that patient stress may occur, such as hematoma formation after puncture and invasion by a thick puncture needle. It is lightweight and has an ergonomic design that provides stable grip. New technological innovations in this device may contribute to the reduction of patient stress, and are expected to be used in the future. We outline the experience of using BD EleVationTM in breast suction tissue biopsy at our institution.

Abstract
Background In the Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) diagnostic criteria, the concepts of progression by preexisting disease (PPL) and progression by new metastases (PNM) have been proposed to distinguish between the progression types of cancer refractory to treatment. According to the tumor biology of cancer progression forms, the “PPL” form indicates invasion, and the “PNM” form indicates metastasis. On the other hand, recent studies have focused on the clinical importance of inflammatory markers as indicators of the systemic tumor immune response. In particular, absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) is an indicator of the host’s immune response. Thus, we developed a new measure that combined progression form with ALC. In this study, we clinically validated the combined assessment of progression form and ALC in eribulin chemotherapy. Methods From August 2011 to April 2019, a total of 486 patients with locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer (MBC) underwent treatment. In this study, only 88 patients who underwent chemotherapy using eribulin were included. The antitumor effect was evaluated based on the RECIST criteria, version 1.1. To measure ALC, peripheral blood samples collected before eribulin treatment were used. The cut-off value for ALC in this study was 1500/μl, based on previous studies. Results The PPL group (71 patients, 80.7%) had significantly longer progression-free survival (PFS) (p = 0.022, log-rank) and overall survival (OS) (p < 0.001, log-rank) than the PNM group (17 patients, 19.3%). In the 51 patients with ALC < 1500/μl, the PPL group had a significantly better prognosis than the PNM group (PFS: p = 0.035, OS: p < 0.001, log-rank, respectively). On the other hand, in the 37 patients with ALC ≥ 1500/μl, the PPL group had a better OS compared with the PNM group (p = 0.055, log-rank), but there was no significant difference in PFS between the two groups (p = 0.541, log-rank). Furthermore, multivariate analysis that validated the effect of OS showed that high ORR and “high-ALC and PPL” were factors for a good prognosis (p < 0.001, HR = 0.321; p = 0.036, HR = 0.290). Conclusions The progression form of PNM had a worse prognosis than PPL in patients treated with eribulin. In breast cancer patients with eribulin chemotherapy, good systemic immune status, such as ALC ≥ 1500/μl, was associated with less progression, particularly metastasis, and better prognosis. Furthermore, the biomarker “high-ALC (ALC ≥ 1500/μl) and PPL” was particularly useful as a prognostic marker following eribulin chemotherapy.

Abstract
Mammary Paget's disease is a rare malignancy. Mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery has been considered as the standard treatment, while there have been few reports of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). A 53-year-old woman with erythema and skin ulceration of the left breast was admitted to our institution. Breast examinations revealed left invasive ductal carcinoma (cT1bN0M0, cStage I), and a punch biopsy of the left mammary erythema indicated Paget's disease (cTisN0M0, cStage0). The patient received NAC because of multiple lesions. Consequently, the breast tumor clinically disappeared, and the erythema improved. These outcomes made it easier to perform surgery (left mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy). Histopathological examination revealed no residual cancer cells in either the mammary gland or breast skin, and no metastasis was found in the sentinel lymph node. Therefore, NAC may be a useful treatment for mammary Paget's disease.

Abstract
Purpose The body mass index (BMI) is commonly used as a simple indicator of obesity; patients with early-stage breast cancer who are obese (OB) per BMI measurements have been shown to have high postoperative recurrence and low survival rates. On the other hand, it has been shown that lymphocytes present in the vicinity of malignant growths that are involved in the tumors’ immune responses influence the efficacy chemotherapy. Therefore, we hypothesized that OB patients with breast cancer have a lower density of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), which may influence the therapeutic effect of preoperative chemotherapy (POC). In this study, we measured pretreatment BMI and TILs in patients with breast cancer who underwent POC, examined the correlations between these two factors, and retrospectively analyzed their therapeutic outcomes and prognoses. Methods The participants in this study were 421 patients with breast cancer who underwent surgical treatment after POC between February 2007 and January 2019. The patient’s height and weight were measured before POC to calculate the BMI (weight [kg] divided by the square of the height [m2]). According to the World Health Organization categorization, patients who weighed under 18.5 kg/m2 were classified as underweight (UW), those ≥18.5 kg/m2 and > 25 kg/m2 were considered normal weight (NW), those ≥25 kg/m2 and < 30 kg/m2 were overweight (OW), and those ≥30 kg/m2 were OB. The TILs were those lymphocytes that infiltrated the tumor stroma according to the definition of the International TILs Working Group 2014. Results The median BMI was 21.9 kg/m2 (range, 14.3–38.5 kg/m2); most patients (244; 64.5%) were NW. Among all 378 patients with breast cancer, the TIL density was significantly lower in OB than in NW and OW patients (vs. NW: p = 0.001; vs. OW: p = 0.003). Furthermore, when examining patients with each breast cancer type individually, the OS of those with TNBC who had low BMIs was significantly poorer than that of their high-BMI counterparts (log rank p = 0.031). Conclusions Our data did not support the hypothesis that obesity affects the tumor immune microenvironment; however, we showed that being UW does affect the tumor immune microenvironment.

Abstract
The processing steps involved in converting from a powder to a tablet entail numerous operations in a which the coamorphous system is recrystallized and dissociated easily. This research focused on (i) a single-step preparation of a coamorphous tablet during injection molding (IM) from the bulk powder, and (ii) a mechanistic characterization of the coamorphous formulation. We selected several organic acids [citric acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid, and malic acid] in an effort to compound with basic loratadine (a poorly water-soluble drug). Loratadine-acids coamorphous tablets were produced via an IM process, and the dissolution was more enhanced than in the pure loratadine amorphous. The interaction was analyzed by FT-IR and terahertz spectroscopies. Each tablet was stored at 40 °C/75%RH, and then XRD patterns were acquired at the desired timepoints. In summary, loratadine exhibited ionic interaction with each acid, and the physical stability of the coamorphous tablet was in proportion to the loratadine-acids interaction strength. Terahertz spectra detected the molecular mobility, which plays an important role in the crystallization propensity of a coamorphous system. This understanding offers a framework for robust coamorphous tablet formulation using the IM methodology.

Abstract
Angiosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor characterized by the presence of vascular endothelial cells. Although rare, angiosarcoma developing in the mammary glands has a poor prognosis. We report a case of breast angiosarcoma with a preoperative diagnosis of late recurrence of breast cancer. A 78-year-old woman noticed a tumor in her right breast and visited our hospital. The patient had undergone breast-conserving surgery and axillary lymph node dissection from the right breast 12 years before the visit. The tumor was diagnosed as T4bN0M0, stage IIIB. Anastrozole was administered as postoperative adjuvant therapy for 5 years; the patient also received 50-Gy whole-breast radiation therapy after surgery. Physical examination during her visit revealed an elevated lesion with blue purpura around the nipple in the right breast. We performed breast ultrasound and detected a well-defined 19.6 × 16.4 × 10.7 mm hypoechoic tumor in the left subareolar area. The patient underwent core needle biopsy (CNB). Based on the CNB specimen findings, she was suspected to experience late local recurrence after surgery. Therefore, she underwent total mastectomy after breast-conserving surgery. A dark-red tumor sized 18 × 12 mm was found in a specimen from the nipple. The pathological diagnosis of the specimen revealed short spindle-shaped tumor cells with strong nuclear pleomorphism and a significant interstitial fibrosis. Immunohistochemistry using D2-40 and CD31 antibodies showed irregular luminal proliferation at the anastomosis, infiltration into the surrounding tissue, and massive necrosis, thereby leading to the diagnosis of breast angiosarcoma. We have reported a case of breast angiosarcoma with a preoperative diagnosis of late recurrence of breast cancer.

Abstract
A 52-year-old woman experienced right breast pain and detected a mammary tumor 6 months ago. She then noticed rapid enlargement of the tumor, which was suspected to be a borderline malignant phyllodes tumor. The tumor size was approximately 15 cm and presented with skin congestion but without infiltration. The tumor showed internal heterogeneous echo and rich blood flow signals on breast ultrasonography. Ultrasonography also showed swelling of the axillary lymph node. Lymph node cytology revealed the presence of atypical cells in the lymph node, and CT scan showed lymph node metastasis in the right axilla and no distant metastases. We performed mastectomy with lymph node sampling. Pathological examination of the specimens confirmed a malignant phyllodes tumor and a metastatic lymph node. One month later, a subcutaneous mass and multiple pulmonary nodules were identified on a chest CT scan. Chest wall irradiation(45 Gy)and chemotherapy were performed, but the number of pulmonary nodules, pleural effusion, and size of the subcutaneous mass continued to increase. Although she underwent another chemotherapeutic treatment, she died 5 months after the surgery. Thus, we report a case of a malignant phyllodes tumor with an extremely rare lymph node metastasis, which rapidly progressed even though multimodal therapy was performed.

Abstract
Background Mobilization of the splenic flexure can be a challenging surgical step in colorectal surgery. This study aimed to classify the splenic flexure based on the three-dimensional (3D) coordinates of the splenic hilum and left renal hilum. This classification was used to compare splenic flexure mobilization during colorectal resection. Methods CT images of patients with colorectal cancer treated between April 2018 and December 2019 were analysed retrospectively. 3D mutual positioning of the splenic flexure from the ligament of Treitz to the splenic hilum or the left renal hilum was used to classify patients into three groups using cluster analysis. The difference in the procedure time between groups was also analysed in a subset of patients undergoing laparoscopic colectomy with complete splenic flexure mobilization. Results Of 515 patients reviewed, 319 with colorectal cancers were included in the study and categorized based on the 3D coordinates of the splenic hilum and left renal hilum as caudal (100 patients), cranial (118) and lateral (101) positions. Male sex (P < 0.001), older age (P = 0.004) and increased bodyweight (P = 0.043) were independent characteristics of the lateral group in multiple logistic regression analysis. Thirty-four patients underwent complete splenic flexure mobilization during the study period; this took significantly longer (mean 78.7 min) in the lateral group than in the caudal and cranial groups (41.8 and 43.2 min respectively; P = 0.006). Conclusion Locating the splenic flexure using 3D coordinates could be helpful in predicting a longer duration for mobilization of the splenic flexure.

Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rarely occurring refractory disease. While recent clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy for ATC, evidence is scarce in clinical practice. In this study, we reviewed our initial experiences with TKI treatment in ATC patients with the aim of revealing the efficacy and safety of the same in clinical practice. We retrospectively reviewed our experiences with TKI treatment use in ATC patients diagnosed at our institute from 2014 to 2019. Changes in the patients' neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) by TKI therapy introduction as well as their clinical factors to indicate the efficacy were examined. Seven patients showed no indication for TKI treatment, while 13 (65%) received treatment. The median duration of TKI treatment was 1.9 months. All patients died, and the overall survival period from diagnosis was 4.7 (95% confidence interval: 2.0-11.5) months. Adverse events ≥Grade 3 were observed commonly (92.3%), and resulted in the termination of TKI treatment in six cases (46.1%). Existence of multiple unfavorable characteristics (higher Prognostic Index) was associated with poor survival. The NLR decreased after the introduction of TKIs and increased again when treatment failed. The response rate to TKI among the ATC patients were approximately 30% in practice. Although the duration of the response was short, several patients demonstrated long survival durations when TKI treatment was provided after successful multidisciplinary treatment to control local disease. Decreases in high NLR values during treatment may suggest the continued effect of TKIs.

Abstract
The anti-PD-L1 antibody atezolizumab has become the standard of immunochemotherapy with the results of the international phase Ⅲ trials in lung cancer and breast cancer. We report a case in which atezolizumab was efficiency in PD-L1 (SP142)-positive lung and breast double cancer. A 56-years-old woman. She noticed a lump in her right breast and visited a nearby doctor, who referred her to our hospital for close examination and treatment. Ultrasonography revealed about 5 cm mass on the right mammary gland and axillary lymph nodes swelling. Core-needle biopsy was confirmed invasive ductal carcinoma( ER negative, PgR negative, HER2 negative, Ki-67 high expression). CT findings showed right mammary mass, right axillary lymph nodes swelling, liver mass, and lung tumor with mediastinal lymph nodes swelling. Therefore, a bronchoscopic biopsy was performed and a diagnosis of primary lung cancer was obtained. Pretreatment diagnosis was lung adenocarcinoma, cT2a, N2/3, M1b/1c(HEP, OSS), Stage ⅢA/B or ⅣA/B(PD-L1 positive), and right breast cancer, T4b, N2, M0/1 (HEP, OSS, LYM), Stage ⅢB or Ⅳ triple-negative(PD-L1 positive)double cancer. We underwent surgery(mastectomy with axillar lymph nodes dissection), followed by immunochemotherapy(atezolizumab, carboplatin, paclitaxel)and it was efficiency.

Abstract
Seventy years old woman noticed a mass in her right breast before 3 years. Since she had ulcer bleeding, she visited our hospital. In physical findings, a hemorrhagic about 8 cm mass with an ulcer was found in the upper right breast. Breast ultrasonography revealed a large tumor of approximately 8 cm in the right A area, and needle biopsy revealed invasive ductal carcinoma(ER positive, PgR positive, HER2 positive, Ki-67 low expression). Right axillary lymph node metastasis was confirmed, but no clear distant metastasis was observed. Pretreatment diagnosis was right breast cancer, cT4bN1M0, Stage ⅢB, Luminal HER. Chemotherapy was started with pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel, and the tumor was reduced after 6 cycles. Due to side effects, the drug was changed to a molecular targeted drug only and the treatment was continued. However, redness was observed in the entire right breast, and breast cancer skin metastasis was suspected. Since the dermatitis caused by metronidazole gel was also distinguished, the redness was improved when the application was stopped. When confirmed by a patch test, a reaction to metronidazole gel was observed, leading to the diagnosis of dermatitis caused by metronidazole gel.

Abstract
A 59-year-old female was performed a left mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection. Final diagnosis of the surgical specimen was left breast cancer pT2N1M0, Stage ⅡB, Luminal type. She was treated with adjuvant endocrine therapy, however, chest wall recurrence was identified at 1 year and 3 months after surgery, and curative resection of this tumor and radiotherapy were performed. Nine months later, she was admitted to the hospital for cervical pain and dyspnea, and magnetic resonance imaging showed bone metastasis in cervical vertebra which compressed spinal cord. Although cervical fusion therapy was performed, she died 39 days later. Metastasis spinal cord compression in breast cancer patients may result in irreversible spinal cord injury if treatment is delayed. Rapid diagnosis and systemic treatment for oncologic emergency are significant.

Abstract
AIM Differentiating appendiceal mucocele with mucinous adenocarcinoma from other pathologies before surgery is difficult. The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of CT and 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) with positron emission tomography (PET)/CT for differentiating mucinous adenocarcinoma of appendiceal mucocele from other pathologies. METHOD The study included 25 patients who underwent surgery for clinically diagnosed appendiceal mucoceles detected on CT at the University of Tokyo Hospital. Among these patients, 19 underwent FDG-PET/CT preoperatively. We compared features of the CT imaging findings and maximum standard uptake values (SUVmax ) detected by FDG-PET/CT between mucocele with mucinous adenocarcinoma and other pathologies. RESULTS A total of 13 men (52%) and 12 women (48%) were included in this study, with a median age of 65 years (range 34-83). There were six patients (24%) with pathologically confirmed mucinous adenocarcinoma, 15 patients (60%) with appendiceal mucinous neoplasm and four patients (16%) with simple mucocele caused by chronic inflammation. On the CT findings, wall irregularity was the only significant feature for the two groups in this study (83.3% vs 0.0%, P < 0.01). There was a significant difference in the SUVmax levels on PET/CT between the two groups (100.0% vs 20.0%, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Distinguishing between mucocele with mucinous adenocarcinoma and other pathologies using imaging modalities is challenging. Our results suggest that wall irregularity on CT and elevated SUVmax on PET/CT are useful factors that can be employed for such discrimination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The peripheral blood neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio(PLR), and lymphocyte- monocyte ratio(LMR)of cancer patients have been proposed as indicators of systemic inflammatory response. Recombinant human-soluble thrombomodulin(rTM)has also been reported its efficacy in DIC associated with solid tumors. In this study, we investigated the clinical significance of inflammatory markers in rTM therapy for DIC associated with solid tumors. PATIENTS AND METHOD A retrospective study of 63 patients with solid tumors with DIC was performed. We examined the correlation between NLR, LMR, PLR and DIC withdrawal rate and 28-day survival rate. RESULTS The DIC withdrawal rate was not correlated in LMR(p=0.655), and significantly higher in low NLR and low PLR cases(p=0.037, p=0.024). Furthermore, 28-day survival rate was not correlated in LMR(p=0.632), and significantly higher in low NLR and low PLR cases(p= 0.046, p=0.014). CONCLUSIONS It was suggested that NLR and PLR may be useful as predictive markers of DIC withdrawal rate and 28-day survival rate in rTM therapy for DIC associated with solid tumors.

Abstract
The patient was 54 years old, female. She was aware of gradually worsening right peri-eyelid swelling 2 years before the first presentation to our dermatology department. She underwent biopsy of eyelid skin 2 times. Nevertheless, definitive diagnosis was not obtained. Two months after the initial examination, right anterior thoracic swelling appeared, and right axillary, right subclavian, and interpectoral lymphadenopathy were detected. She was referred to our department for diagnosing metastatic breast cancer. Ultrasonography showed hypoechoic lesion with distortion(largest lesion>2 cm)in right breast, which was suspected to be a breast cancer. The results of breast core needle biopsy, the third time's eyelid skin biopsy and additional imaging studies confirmed T2N3M1, Stage Ⅳ right mammary invasive lobular carcinoma with metastasis to the eyelid skin, right axillary lymph nodes, right subclavian lymph nodes and the subcutaneous tissue of the right back. Immunohistochemical studies showed ER-positive, PgR-negative, HER2-negative, and low Ki-67 expression. Endocrine therapy with letrozole was initiated, which maintained stable disease without compromising the quality of life.

Abstract
Pertuzumab plus trastuzumab plus docetaxel regimen is the first choice for the initial treatment of HER2-positive recurrent breast cancer. However, docetaxel causes many adverse events. A 48-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for a left breast tumor and was diagnosed with left breast cancer(T1N0M0, Stage Ⅰ, Luminal A). We performed a breast-conserving surgery and sentinel lymph node biopsy, followed by irradiation of the remaining parts of the mammary gland and adjuvant therapy with tamoxifen. Three and a half years after the first surgery, she underwent local resection due to chest wall recurrence of breast cancer. The recurrent tumor was HER2-positive, and we administered fluorouracil, epirubicin, cyclophosphamide( FEC)and paclitaxel plus trastuzumab. Liver metastases were confirmed on completion of cycle 11 of trastuzumab administration, and the regimen was changed to pertuzumab plus trastuzumab plus docetaxel. A partial response was seen following this regimen. The next line of treatment was the administration of 5 cycles of T-DM1, which resulted in stabilizing the disease. The liver metastases progressed, and the regimen was changed to pertuzumab plus trastuzumab plus eribulin. Partial response was seen following this regimen for liver metastases without serious adverse events(20 cycles).

Abstract
AIM Endoscopic treatment for rectal cancer, such as endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection, causes inflammation, oedema and fibrosis in the surrounding tissue. However, little is known about the effect of these endoscopic therapies on salvage laparoscopic rectal surgery. The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to analyse the effect of preceding endoscopic treatment on the outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer. METHOD We analysed 53 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer with clinical Tis or T1 at our department between May 2011 and June 2019. Data from 30 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery after preceding endoscopic treatment (Group E + S) were compared with those of 23 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery alone (Group S). RESULTS There was no significant difference between the groups with respect to preoperative details. The mean operative time tended to be longer in Group E + S, and the volume of intra-operative blood loss was greater in Group E + S than in Group S (median 63 ml vs 10 ml, P = 0.049). There were no significant differences between the groups in other surgical parameters or oncological outcomes. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic surgery after endoscopic treatment for rectal cancer may be difficult due to an increased risk of intra-operative bleeding. Long-term prognosis after surgery was not affected by preceding endoscopic treatment in rectal cancer.

Abstract
AIM Recently, the accessory middle colic artery (AMCA) has been recognized as the vessel that supplies blood to the splenic flexure. However, the positional relationship between the AMCA and inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) has not been evaluated. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the anatomy of the AMCA and the splenic flexure vein (SFV). METHOD Two hundred and five patients with colorectal cancer who underwent enhanced CT preoperatively were enrolled in the present study. The locations of the AMCA and IMV were evaluated, focusing on the positional relationship between the vessels and pancreas - below the pancreas or to the dorsal side of the pancreas. RESULTS The AMCA was observed in 74 (36.1%) patients whereas the SFV was found in 177 (86.3%) patients. The left colic artery (LCA) was the major artery accompanying the SFV in 87 (42.4%) of patients. The AMCA accompanied the SFV in 65 (32.7%) patients. In 15 (7.8%) patients, no artery accompanied the SFV. The origin of the AMCA was located on the dorsal side of the pancreas in 15 (20.3%) of these 74 patients. Similarly, the destination of the IMV was located on the dorsal side of the pancreas in 65 (31.7%) of patients. CONCLUSION The SFV was observed in most patients, and the LCA or AMCA was the common accompanying artery. In some patients these vessels were located on the dorsal side of the pancreas and not below it. Preoperative evaluation of this anatomy may be beneficial for lymph node dissection during left-sided hemicolectomy.

Abstract
AIM Pelvic lymphocele is a common complication that develops after pelvic lymph node dissection. The incidence of pelvic lymphocele formation has been reported to be 10.5-51% after gynaecological or urological procedures. However, no evidence has been reported thus far with regard to the development of pelvic lymphocele following lateral pelvic lymph node dissection (LPND) for low rectal cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for lymphocele formation after LPND for low rectal cancer and to examine its clinical management. METHOD We retrospectively analysed the incidence of and risk factors for pelvic lymphocele formation after LPND for rectal cancer in our hospital between January 2012 and December 2017. We also compared the size of the lymphocele between asymptomatic and symptomatic patients by using CT volumetry and examined its clinical management. RESULTS A total of 30 out of 98 patients (30.8%) developed pelvic lymphocele after rectal LPND. The number of resected nodes was significantly higher in patients with a pelvic lymphocele (P < 0.01). The median volume was significantly higher in patients with symptomatic pelvic lymphocele (P = 0.011). Among the nine symptomatic patients, two underwent CT-guided drainage, one underwent transurethral ureteral stent placement and one underwent laparoscopic marsupialization. CONCLUSION It is essential to keep in mind the possibility of pelvic lymphocele formation during follow-up of patients who undergo LPND, and to consider an appropriate treatment when these patients are symptomatic.

Abstract
In the treatment of advanced breast cancer, onlya few drugs confer overall survival(OS)benefit. Eribulin is a drug that was shown to extend OS in an international phase Ⅲtrial; however, the underlying mechanism is thought to involve cancer microenvironment regulation. The concept of "breast cancer subtype discordance" implies the biological changes that accompany treatment. Herein, we encountered a case of advanced breast cancer in a 54-year-old woman that showed biological changes after eribulin chemotherapy. The patient noticed a lump in her left breast and visited a nearby doctor, who referred her to our hospital for close examination and treatment. Ultrasonographyrevealed a large mass at the center of the left mammarygland and axillaryly mph node swelling. Core-needle biopsyconfirmed an invasive ductal carcinoma(ER stronglypositive, PgRnegative, HER-2 negative, Ki-67 low expression). CT findings showed multiple lung metastases. Letrozole was administered for cT4N2M1, stage Ⅳ, Luminal A, which showed progression to the left side with advances in breast cancer. Six months later, the primarytumor and axillaryly mph nodes showed progression. Subsequent treatment with eribulin was started, and partial response was obtained; however, new lymph node metastasis developed in the axilla after 11 cycles. The primary tumor and axillaryly mph nodes showed stronglypositive ER expression, were PgR-negative and HER2-positive, and showed Ki-67 low expression and HER2-positive conversion.

Abstract
A 68-year-old woman noticed a tumor in her left breast and visited our hospital. She was diagnosed with left breast cancer cT2N2M0, stage ⅢA, and surgery was performed after the neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Although this case was indicated for radiation therapy(PMRT)after total mastectomy, postoperative radiation was not performed due to an implantable pacemaker placed in the left anterior chest. Therefore, postoperative adjuvant therapy with endocrine therapy was started. After 3 years of treatment, her left axillary lymph node was enlarged, and needle biopsy confirmed metastasis and recurrence. When local excision was performed, postoperative irradiation was deemed necessary because residual microlesions were suspected. Irradiation planning did not deny the possibility that the pacemaker in the anterior chest indwelling could become the irradia- tion range. Therefore, a leadless pacemaker was inserted, and local irradiation(50 Gy/20 Fr)was performed without complications. The next treatment is fulvestrant, and no recurrence has been observed 6months postoperatively.

Abstract
To improve aqueous solubility, a poorly water-soluble active ingredient is classically combined with a conformer to form cocrystals. Hot melt extrusion is one preparation method for the formation of cocrystal solids. The aim of our study was to determine the optimal temperature conditions for the formation of ibuprofen and nicotinamide cocrystals using real-time infrared (IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. IR spectra and XRD patterns were subjected to multivariate curve resolution alternating least squares (MCR-ALS) analysis and decomposed into several components. Each component was descriptive of a specific step in the formation of the cocrystal. Cocrystal formation was followed by a separation phase between amorphous ibuprofen and crystalline nicotinamide. Our results suggest that, when using the hot melt exclusion method, careful consideration should be made towards optimizing processing temperatures in order to prevent amorphization and promote control over the process of cocrystal formation.

Abstract
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a rare refractory disease, frequently associated with BRAF mutations and aberrant vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion. The antitumor effects of sorafenib were evaluated, and its mechanisms of action were investigated. Four human ATC cell lines were used: OCUT‑4, which possesses a BRAF mutation; OCUT‑6 and ACT‑1, which carry NRAS mutations; and OCUT‑2, which possesses mutations in BRAF and PI3KCA. The viability of Sorafenib was evaluated by MTT assay. In order to examine the inhibitory effect of Sorafenib on intracellular signal transduction, expression of mitogen‑activated protein kinase kinase was examined by western blotting. In addition, cell cycle analysis was performed using flow cytometry. The inhibitory effects of sorafenib on the growth of ATC cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated with conditioned media from ATC cells were examined. Sorafenib inhibited the viability of OCUT‑4 more effectively than other ATC cell lines; these effects may have been mediated cytostatically by suppressing mitogen‑activated protein kinase kinase phosphorylation. Conversely, similar suppression was not observed in OCUT‑6 cells, which possess an NRAS mutation. The four cell lines secreted different quantities of VEGF, and the proliferation of HUVECs was differentially stimulated by their conditioned media. Both anti‑VEGF antibody and sorafenib prevented this stimulation of proliferation. In conclusion, sorafenib more effectively inhibited RAF‑generated growth signals in ATC cells compared with signals generated by its upstream gene, RAS. ATC cells stimulated the growth of HUVECs via humoral factors, including VEGF; this effect was clearly inhibited by sorafenib. The present findings highlighted the potential of sorafenib for the treatment of ATC and provided insight into its mechanism of action.

Abstract
Adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACCs) are malignant tumors that most often occur in the salivary glands and bronchi, with occurrence in the breast being rare. ACCs of the breast reportedly give rise to few lymph node metastases or distant metastases and have a favorable prognosis. A 56-year-old woman with a left breast mass identified by mammographic screening was examined at our institute. Breast ultrasound revealed a sharply marginated, hypoechoic mass 12.7 × 9.4 × 8.7 mm in size in the upper outer quadrant of the left breast, and a vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) was performed at the mass site. Pathological examination of the VAB specimen revealed atypical cells with a cribriform growth pattern, and mucosal fluid surrounding tumor nests and within tumor ducts. The area around the tumor nests and inside of tumor ducts were also positively stained with alcian blue. These findings, we reached a pathological diagnosis of ACC. The preoperative diagnosis was stage I (cT1N0M0) triple-negative left breast cancer. Surgery consisted of breast-conserving surgery and sentinel node biopsy. The excised specimen was a 15.0 × 12.1 × 9.7 mm mass with a greyish white cut surface. Pathological examination of the excised specimen revealed a so-called adenoid cystic pattern. Results from immunohistochemical staining were identical to those from a VAB specimen, as they were estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptors-negative, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative, with low Ki67 expression. The final diagnosis, given the above findings, was left breast cancer (ACC) pT1N0M0 stage I triple-negative subtype.

Abstract
Objective We evaluated the utility of continuous intraoperative neuromonitoring (CIONM) during surgery for thyroid cancer (TC) in an educational university hospital. Study Design Prospective observational study. Methods During the period April 2016 to March 2017, 43 patients who underwent standardized surgery with CIONM were prospectively included: 5 men and 38 women, 24–87 years old (median 52 years); 23 lobectomies and 20 total thyroidectomies with node dissection were conducted. Thirty‐six operations were performed by a supervising surgeon, and seven were performed by trainees. Results Temporal vocal cord paresis (VCP) was identified in 9 of 63 nerves at risk (14.3%) by postoperative laryngoscopy. VCP was not related to clinical factors including the surgeon's experience or the severe nerve stress demonstrated by CIONM. A significant relation only between VCP and loss of signal (LOS) was demonstrated (P = .002). The recovery of VCP was rapid (<1 month) in patients with global injury even when LOS was demonstrated, but was prolonged in patients demonstrating obvious segmental nerve injury and LOS. Conclusion The present standard protocol of CIONM was useful to some extent to protect prolonged VCP, but not enough to detect every nerve stress causing VCP during TC surgery. On the other hand, CIONM is a promising method that could contribute surgical education at training hospitals enabling the instant confirmation of the procedure safely. Levels of Evidence 3b

Abstract
Background More extensive lymphadenectomy may improve survival after resection of colonic cancer. Nomograms were created predicting overall survival and recurrence for patients who undergo D2-D3 lymph node dissection, and their validity determined. Methods This was a multicentre study of patients with colonic cancer who underwent resection with D2-D3 lymph node dissection in Japan. Inclusion criteria included R0 resection. A training cohort of patients operated on from 2007 to 2008 was analysed to construct prognostic models predicting survival and recurrence. Discrimination and calibration were performed using an external validation cohort from the Japanese colorectal cancer registry (procedures in 2005-2006). Results The training cohort consisted of 2746 patients. Predictors of survival were: age (hazard ratio (HR) 1·04), female sex (HR 0·71), depth of tumour invasion (HR 1·15, 1·22, 2·96 and 3·14 for T2, T3, T4a and T4b respectively versus T1), lymphatic invasion (HR 1·11, 1·15 and 2·95 for ly1, ly2 and ly3 versus ly0), preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level (HR 1·21, 1·59 and 1·99 for 5·1-10·0, 10·1-20·0 and 20·1 and over versus 0-5·0 ng/ml), number of metastatic lymph nodes (HR 1·07), number of lymph nodes examined (HR 0·98) and extent of lymphadenectomy (HR 0·23, 0·13 and 0·11 for D1, D2 and D3 versus D0). Predictors of recurrence were: female sex (HR 0·82), macroscopic type (HR 3·82, 4·56, 6·66, 7·74 and 3·22 for types I, II, III, IV and V versus type 0), depth of invasion (HR 1·25, 2·66, 5·32 and 6·43 for T2, T3, T4a and T4b versus T1), venous invasion (HR 1·43, 3·05 and 4·79 for v1, v2 and v3 versus v0), preoperative CEA level (HR 1·39, 1·43, 1·56 and 1·85 for 5·1-10·0, 10·1-20·0, 20·1-40·0 and 40·1 or more versus 0-5 ng/ml), number of metastatic lymph nodes (HR 1·07) and number of lymph nodes examined (HR 0·98). The validation cohort comprised 4446 patients. The internal and external validated Harrell's C-index values for the nomogram predicting survival were 0·75 and 0·74 respectively. Corresponding values for recurrence were 0·78 and 0·75. Conclusion These nomograms could predict survival and recurrence after curative resection of colonic cancer.

Abstract
AIM Perineural invasion (PNI) is a risk factor for recurrence and metastasis and consequently leads to decreased survival in patients with various malignancies. Recent studies showed that stent placement in obstructive colon cancer increases the frequency of PNI. We hypothesized that mechanical stress including obstruction itself may be associated with PNI. METHOD We retrospectively reviewed 496 patients with pathological T3 or T4 colon cancer who did not receive preoperative treatment. Data were collected from medical charts and pathological findings. The relationships between PNI and other clinicopathological factors were analysed using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS PNI was observed in 239 (48%) patients. Obstruction was markedly more frequent in PNI-positive cancer (39%) than in PNI-negative cancer (24%, P = 0.0003). Multivariate analyses identified obstruction as one of the significant factors associated with PNI (OR 1.68, P = 0.028). Moreover, in 414 patients without distant metastasis who underwent complete resection, PNI was an independent factor associated with poor recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio 2.35, P = 0.003). The coexistence of PNI and obstruction resulted in greater decreases in recurrence-free survival than PNI-negative and/or non-obstructive cases. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that obstruction is associated with PNI and consequently contributes to an increased postoperative recurrence in colon cancer.

Abstract
Paget's disease of the breast is usually localized in the nipple epidermis and lactiferous duct located near the nipple. Here, we report a rare case of synchronous breast carcinoma with Paget's disease and invasive ductal carcinoma. A 50-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of abnormalities in screening mammography findings. Ultrasonography(US) findings showed a 2.4×1.3×1.6 cm sized hypoechoic lesion in a region of the left mammary gland. Computed tomography (CT)findings did not reveal distant metastasis. Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)revealed an approximately 2.2 cm sized irregular tumor. The pretreatment diagnosis was left non-invasive ductal carcinoma(cTisN0M0, Stage 0), and surgery was performed. The tumor was found in the range of 40.2×15.0 mm, many of which were breast ductal growth. An infiltrated image was confirmed at multiple sites, but the maximum size was 2.5×1.5 mm. Pathological findings of the main lesion revealed papillotubular carcinoma. Agglomeration of heterotypic cells with abundant cytoplasm was observed in the epidermis of the papilla. The final diagnosis was invasive breast cancer(pT1aN3M0, Stage Ⅲc, Luminal HER2)coexisting with Paget's disease.

Abstract
A charge excitation in a two-dimensional Mott insulator is strongly coupled with the surrounding spins, which is observed as magnetic-polaron formations of doped carriers and a magnon sideband in the Mott-gap transition spectrum. However, the dynamics related to the spin sector are difficult to measure. Here, we show that pump-probe reflection spectroscopy with seven-femtosecond laser pulses can detect the optically induced spin dynamics in Nd2CuO4, a typical cuprate Mott insulator. The bleaching signal at the Mott-gap transition is enhanced at ~18 fs. This time constant is attributable to the spin-relaxation time during magnetic-polaron formation, which is characterized by the exchange interaction. More importantly, ultrafast coherent oscillations appear in the time evolution of the reflectivity changes, and their frequencies (1400-2700 cm-1) are equal to the probe energy measured from the Mott-gap transition peak. These oscillations can be interpreted as the interference between charge excitations with two magnons originating from charge-spin coupling.
