Abstract
It is unclear whether adaptive servo-ventilation (ASV) therapy for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is effective. The aim of this study was to investigate the details of ASV use, and to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of ASV in real-world HFpEF patients. We retrospectively enrolled 36 HFpEF patients at nine cardiovascular centers who initiated ASV therapy during hospitalization or on outpatient basis and were able to continue using it at home from 2012 to 2017 and survived for at least one year thereafter. The number of hospitalizations for heart failure (HF) during the 12 months before and 12 months after introduction of ASV at home was compared. The median number of HF hospitalizations for each patient was significantly reduced from 1 [interquartile range: 1-2] in the 12 months before introduction of ASV to 0 [0-0] in the 12 months after introduction of ASV (p < 0.001). In subgroup analysis, reduction in heart failure hospitalization was significantly greater in female patients, patients with a body mass index < 25, and those with moderate or severe tricuspid valve regurgitation. In patients with HFpEF, the number of HF hospitalizations was significantly decreased after the introduction of ASV. HFpEF patients with female sex, BMI < 25, or moderate to severe tricuspid valve regurgitation are potential candidates who might benefit from ASV therapy.

It has been recently reported that the liver stiffness, which reflects increased central venous pressure, measured by transient elastography increases along with decompensated heart failure (HF) developing and decreases with clinical improvement. A simple index for the assessment of liver stiffness and/or impairment of liver reserve may be useful in patients with HF. We calculated each patient´s FIB4 index(F4I) using the following formula: (age (years)× aspartate aminotransferase (IU/L)/platelet count (109/L)× square root of alanine aminotransferase (IU/L)). Patients with an F4I≥2.67 were classified into the high F4I group and these patients were strongly suspected to have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). NAFLD is also said to be a form of metabolic syndrome expressed in the liver. And lately NAFLD is associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke and cardiovascular surrogate markers. But Little is known about F4I with the influence of AMI prognosis. This study included 167 AMI patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention within 24h of onset. Consecutive patients were divided into two groups based on their F4I at discharge: First group (2.67 ≤F4I, n = 27), second group (F4I <2.67, n = 140) . And we assessed the association between F4I and CV events including cardiac death, recurrent AMI, recurrent PCI (TLR) and re-hospitalization of heart failure during 13 months. Result: High F4I (2.67≤ F4I ,19% VS F4I <2.67, 6%: P = 0.045) related to the re-hospitalization of heart failure. Univariate odds ratio was 3.45. F4I is significantly related to the re-hospitalization of heart failure. Conclusion: A simple index F4I is significantly related to the prognosis of adverse cardiac events after AMI patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity is a serious complication in patients with malignant lymphoma (ML) who received chemotherapy, which threatens life prognosis and quality of life of patients. However, incidence and risk factors of cardiotoxicity in patients with ML who undergo intensive chemotherapy which aims complete remission is not clarified. Furthermore, prognosis after cardiotoxicity and that after recovery from cardiotoxicity have not been elucidated.
Method
We screened 443 ML patients who received either rituximab (R)-CHOP or CHOP regimen between January 2008 and December 2017 at Nagoya City University Hospital. Two handled forty-four patients who underwent echocardiography before and after chemotherapy were enrolled and data were analyzed retrospectively. Cardiotoxicity was defined as a decline in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 10% or greater and an LVEF was below 50%. Partial recovery was defined as a 5% or more of increase in LVEF and an LVEF was ≥50% after cardiotoxicity. Complete recovery was defined as an increase in LVEF became more than 95% of the baseline value. Patient's basic characteristics, chemotherapeutic regimen, laboratory data, echocardiographic data, and prognosis were collected from the medical records by two cardiologists and two hematologists.
Result
At baseline, the median age was 71 years, the median cumulative dose of doxorubicin was 302 mg/m2 and the median LVEF was 69%. During the follow-up period, cardiotoxicity was observed in 52 out of 244 patients (21%), 30 patients (12%) had a symptomatic heart failure, and 5 patients died from cardiovascular cause. Thirty-five patients developed cardiotoxicity during the first year of chemotherapy. Multivariate analysis identified that only the baseline LVEF (HR 0.949, 95% CI 0.919–0.981, p=0.002) was an independent risk factor for cardiotoxicity. In our study, patients who received more than 200 mg/m2 of doxorubicin developed cardiotoxicity frequently. Among 52 patients who experienced cardiotoxicity, partial recovery and full recovery were observed in 18 (35%) and 4 (8%) patients, respectively. Four patients without recovery died due to heart failure and 1 patient with partial recovery died suddenly. Six out of 18 patients with partial recovery developed re-cardiotoxicity.
Conclusion
ML patients who undergo more than 200 mg/m2 of doxorubicin need a watchful follow-up. Only a baseline LVEF was an independent risk factor for cardiotoxicity. one third of patients with partial recovery developed re-cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There is no worldwide standard recommendation for preventing hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation for patients with resolved infection treated with an anti-CD20 antibody for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This study aims to compare the cost-effectiveness between two commonly used strategies to prevent HBV reactivation-related death.
Methods
The two strategies compared were prophylactic antiviral therapy (Pro NAT) and HBV DNA monitoring followed by on-demand antiviral therapy (HBV DNA monitoring) using entecavir (Entecavir, a generic drug for Baraclude). Effectiveness was defined as the prevention of death due to HBV reactivation and costs were calculated under the health insurance system of Japan as of April 2018 using Markov model. A cost-minimization analysis, one of the cost-effectiveness analyses, was applied, since the effectiveness was the same between the two strategies according to a meta-analysis. To consider the effect of uncertainty for each parameter, probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) was performed. In the scenario analysis, costs were calculated using lamivudine (Zefix) or tenofovir alafenamide (Vemlidy) instead of entecavir. All analyses were done using TreeAge Pro 2019 (TreeAge Software, Inc., MA, USA).
Results
Estimated costs per patient during the 30 months after initiation of chemotherapy for lymphoma were 1,513 USD with Pro NAT and 1,265 USD with HBV DNA monitoring. A PSA revealed that HBV DNA monitoring was more consistently cost-effective compared with Pro NAT when some parameters were set randomly according to probability distributions. In our scenario analysis, costs of Pro NAT and HBV DNA monitoring were calculated as 2,762 and 1,401 USD using lamivudine, 4,857 and 1,629 USD using tenofovir alafenamide.
Conclusions
Our cost-effectiveness analysis shows that an HBV DNA monitoring strategy using entecavir should be recommended for preventing HBV reactivation-related death in Japan.
Key messages
Cost-effectiveness analysis demonstrated that HBV DNA monitoring was more cost-effective compared to Pro NAT; this result was consistent with PSA. HBV DNA monitoring strategy should be recommended to prevent HBV reactivation-related death for the patients with resolved HBV infection in Japan.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The importance of left ventricle diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) has been recognized widely, as it is well established that heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has a poor prognosis. Furthermore, N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-ProBNP) is used as a marker of heart failure. However, the association between LVDD and NT-proBNP is unclear.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to clarify the association between LVDD and NT-ProBNP.
Methods
In this study, an index based on gated myocardial perfusion SPECT using CardioREPO software for the diagnosis of LVDD was used. Out of the 171 patients who underwent myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) between January 2015 and December 2018, 163 individuals (116 men and 47 women) completed MPI and NT-ProBNP. Patients were classified into 4 groups: NT-ProBNP levels below 125 pg/ml (n = 52), NT-ProBNP levels 125 to 400 pg/ml (n = 33), NT-ProBNP levels 400 to 900 pg/ml (n = 23), and NT-ProBNP levels over 900 pg/ml (n = 37). CardioREPO parameters (peak filling rate (PFR), 1/3 mean filling rate (MFR), and time to peak filling rate/R-R (TTPFR)) were compared between the 4 NT-ProBNP groups.
Results
Of the 163 patients, 55 had LVDD. The PFR and 1/3MFR were associated with LVDD. There was a statistically significant difference in PFR and 1/3 MFR between the NT-ProBNP levels below 125 pg/ml group and the NT-ProBNP levels 400 to 900 pg/ml group (PFR = 2.51+/-1.11 vs. 1.80+/-0.65, p = 0.001; 1/3 MFR = 1.41+/-0.55 vs. 1.06+/-0.47, p = 0.006, Table).
Conclusions
The MPI indices obtained by CardioREPO software were useful in the diagnosis of LVDD. The evaluation of LVDD by MPI correlated with NT-Pro BNP level is thought to have a clinical utility in the diagnosis and management of LVDD.

Abstract
Oral epithelium might be the first barrier against oral bacteria in periodontal tissue. We hypothesized that oral epithelium is endowed with innate immune receptors for bacterial components, which play roles in host defense against bacterial infection without being accompanied by excessive inflammatory responses. We found clear expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 as well as TLR2, and strong expression of NOD1 and NOD2 in normal oral epithelial tissues by immunohistochemical analysis. We also showed that primary oral epithelial cells in culture expressed these molecules using PCR, flow cytometry, and immunostaining. In inflamed oral epithelium, cell-surface localizations of TLR2 and TLR4 were more clearly observed than in healthy tissue. Upon stimulation with synthetic ligands for these receptors, the expression of β-defensin 2 was markedly up-regulated. These findings indicate that these molecules in oral epithelial cells are functional receptors that induce antibacterial responses.

Abstract
Four compounds corresponding to partial structures of Re-type lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were synthesized for precise investigation of immunological properties of the 3-deoxy-D- manno-2-octulosonic acid (Kdo)-containing inner core and lipid A regions of LPS. The synthetic compounds lack all the ester-bound acyl groups which are present in natural LPS but known to be not essential for the antigenicity. The simplest compound is N,N'-diacylated glucosamine β1-6 disaccharide 4'-monophosphate 2 which corresponds to the des- O-acyl derivative of 1-dephospho lipid A. The other three contain one or two Kdo moieties linked to 2. The most complex one is a tetrasaccharide equivalent to the des- O-acylated 1-dephosphorylated derivative of LPS from Escherichia coli Re-mutant. Syntheses were performed by stepwise condensation of appropriately protected sugar moieties and final hydrogenolytic deprotection. The synthetic des- O-acyl LPS analogs were effectively purified by means of reversed phase HPLC to give homogeneous preparations.

Abstract
We investigated the inhibition of LPS binding on human monocytes by synthetic analogs of lipid A. A common characteristic of the analyzed structures is a α-(or β-) phosphonooxyethyl group in position 1 of the GlcN I of the lipid A backbone. Compounds PE-1, PE-2 and PE-3 are analogs of synthetic Escherichia coli lipid A whereas PE-4 represents an analog of tetraacyl precursor Ia (synthetic compound 406). By determining the ability of these preparations to inhibit the binding of FITC-labeled LPS (E. coli 0111:B4) on human monocytes the relationship between their structure and cellular binding affinity was evaluated. The results showed a structure-dependent hierarchy of inhibition capacity. Thus, compound PE-1 inhibited the binding of FITC-LPS only slightly more than PE-2. However, compound PE-3, possessing β-configurated GlcN I, exhibited a drastically decreased inhibition capability. Best inhibition was obtained with compound PE-4. It was furthermore shown by a Lineweaver-Burk plot that the inhibition of LPS binding was due to competition of FITC-LPS and PE-4 for the same binding structure. The synthesis of stable 1-phosphonooxyethyl analogs of precursor Ia with high affinity for LPS receptor structures but lacking cytokine-inducing capacity (like PE-4) may be of relevance for their function as potent antagonists of LPS in therapy of endotoxic shock and sepsis.

Abstract
The purpose of our studies is to define the physicochemical parameters involved in the activation of host cells by endotoxin and to characterize the processes operative during endotoxin/membrane interaction with the aim of understanding transmembrane signal transduction mechanisms. To this end, we determined the molecular conformation of the lipid A component of various endotoxins (endotoxic conformation) using X-ray small angle diffraction, their intercalation into reconstituted macrophage membranes with fluorescence resonance energy transfer spectroscopy, and their IL-6 inducing capacity in whole blood. We also investigated their influence on ion channels as a possible primary event in cell activation applying patch-clamp techniques to macrophages. We found a strong influence of the molecular charge on the molecular conformation, and we could show that the presence of charged groups and a cone- or wedge-like molecular conformation of lipid A are prerequisites for the expression of bioactivity. We also obtained strong evidence supporting the idea that the interaction of endotoxin with ion channels is one of the very early events in the interaction with the cell and, most likely, in signal transduction.

Abstract
Bortezomib (BTZ), a proteasome inhibitor, is widely used in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), but a fraction of patients respond poorly to this agent. To identify factors predicting the duration of progression-free survival (PFS) of MM patients on BTZ treatment, the expression of proteasome and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related genes was quantified in primary samples from patients receiving a combination of BTZ and dexamethasone (BD). Fifty-six MM patients were stratified into a group with PFS<6 months (n=33) and a second group with PFS⩾6 months (n=23). Of the 15 genes analyzed, the expression of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3) and ATF4 was significantly lower in patients with shorter PFS (P=0.0157 and P=0.0085, respectively). Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed that these ATFs bind each other and transactivate genes encoding the pro-apoptotic transcription factors, CHOP and Noxa, which promote ER stress-associated apoptosis. When either ATF3 or ATF4 expression was silenced, MM cells partially lost sensitivity to BTZ treatment. This was accompanied by lower levels of Noxa, CHOP and DR5. Thus low basal expression of ATF3 and ATF4 may attenuate BTZ-induced apoptosis. Hence, ATF3 and ATF4 could potentially be used as biomarkers to predict efficacy of BD therapy in patients with MM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to retrospectively assess the safety and efficacy of the combination of gemcitabine and nedaplatin in elderly patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Patients ≥75 years with previously untreated NSCLC who underwent chemotherapy consisting of gemcitabine (800 mg/m(2) on days 1 and 8) and nedaplatin (80 mg/m(2) on day 1) every 3 weeks were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS Of the 35 patients, 28 were men and 7 were women, with a mean age of 78 years (range 75-87); 10 patients had stage IIIB disease and 25 patients had stage IV disease. The overall response rate was 45.7% (95% confidence interval 28.8-63.4). The median survival time was 14 months (range 3-44). Grade 3-4 toxicities included neutropenia in 74.3%, thrombocytopenia in 48.6%, anemia in 34.3%, hepatic dysfunction in 11.4%, and infection in 2.9%. There were no treatment-related deaths. There were no differences in response rate and survival between patients aged 75-79 years and patients ≥80 years, although grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia and anemia were significantly more frequent in patients ≥80 years. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the combination of gemcitabine and nedaplatin is effective and well tolerated for selected elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
Bortezomib is an effective agent for treating multiple myeloma (MM). To investigate the underlying mechanisms associated with acquired resistance to this agent, we established two bortezomib-resistant MM cell lines, KMS-11/BTZ and OPM-2/BTZ, the 50% inhibitory concentration values of which were respectively 24.7- and 16.6-fold higher than their parental cell lines. No activation of caspase and BH3-only proteins such as Noxa was noted in bortezomib-resistant cells after exposure to the drug. The accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins was reduced in bortezomib-resistant cells compared with the parental cells, associated with avoidance of catastrophic ER stress as assessed by downregulation of CHOP expression. These resistant MM cells have a unique point mutation, G322A, in the gene encoding the proteasome beta5 subunit (PSMB5), likely resulting in conformational changes to the bortezomib-binding pocket of this subunit. KMS-11 parental cells transfected to express mutated PSMB5 also showed reduced bortezomib-induced apoptosis compared with those expressing wild-type PSMB5 or the parental cells. Expression of mutated PSMB5 was associated with the prevention of the accumulation of unfolded proteins. Thus, a fraction of MM cells may acquire bortezomib resistance by suppressing apoptotic signals through the inhibition of unfolded protein accumulation and subsequent excessive ER stress by a mutation of the PSMB5 gene.

Abstract
e19501 Background: Although cladribine has been reported to be one of active purine analogs against indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL), there are few reports of combination usage of cladribine and rituximab. We conducted a multicenter phase II study to investigate efficacy and toxicity of cladribine with rituximab (R-2-CdA) therapy for relapsed indolent B-NHL. Methods: Eligibility criteria were as follows: relapsed pts with indolent B-NHL from systemic chemotherapy, ages less than 75 years; PS 0–2 by ECOG's scale. Patients received 0.09mg/kg of cladribine intravenously (2 hrs infusion) on days 1 to 5 and 375mg/m2 of rituximab intravenously on days 1 and 15, every 4 weeks, for a total of 4 cycles. Primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints were % complete response (%CR), 2 years progression free survival (2-y PFS), and 2 years overall survival (2-y OS). Results: A total of 20 out of 45 planned patients were enrolled and received R-2-CdA therapy from Apr 2005 to Jul 2007. Their median age was 58.5 (42–72), and the median number of prior regimens was 2 (1–3). Histologies included 16 follicular lymphomas, 2 MALT lymphomas, 1 nodal marginal B cell lymphoma, and 1 lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma. Fifteen pts (75%) were previously treated with rituximab. The ORR was 90% with 70% of % CR. Median PFS was 20.1 months (5.6–32.9 months) at a median follow-up time of 27 months. 2-y PFS and 2-y OS were 63.2% (95%CI, 28.1–67.8%), and 89.5% (95%CI, 69.8–97.2%), respectively. Severe neutropenia and thrombocytopenia of grade 3 or 4 were observed in 15% and 10% respectively. Conclusions: R-2CdA therapy was demonstrated to have high activity with durable PFS and acceptable toxicity in relapsed indolent B-NHL, even if patients were previously treated with rituximab. Although a large-scaled further trial remains to be needed, R-2-CdA therapy could be a good option of salvage therapy in relapsed indolent B-NHL. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
Here, we report that tumor cells from some patients (23.8%) with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are positive for CC chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4). We therefore tested the chimeric anti-CCR4 monoclonal antibody (mAb), KM2760, the Fc region of which is defucosylated to enhance antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), as a novel immunotherapy for refractory HL. KM2760 demonstrated a promising antitumor activity in the CCR4-positive HL-bearing mouse model in the therapeutic setting. Although KM2760 did not induce any ADCC mediated by mouse natural killer (NK) cells, it significantly enhanced phagocytosis mediated by mouse monocytes/macrophages against the CCR4-positive HL cell line in vitro. Together with the findings that KM2760 did not exhibit any complement-dependent cytotoxicity or direct antiproliferation activity in vitro, these data indicated that KM2760 exerted its robust in vivo antitumor activity via monocytes/macrophages in mice. In the human system, KM2760 enhanced phagocytic activity mediated by monocytes/macrophages. Furthermore, it induced robust ADCC mediated by NK cells against the CCR4-positive HL cell line in vitro. Thus, it is conceivable that KM2760 would have much more potent antitumor activity in humans than in mice. Collectively, this study strongly indicates that anti-CCR4 mAb could be a novel treatment modality for patients with CCR4-positive HL.

Abstract
Peptidoglycan recognition proteins (PGRPs), a novel family of pattern recognition molecules (PRMs) in innate immunity conserved from insects to mammals, recognize bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan (PGN) and are suggested to act as anti-bacterial factors. In humans, four kinds of PGRPs (PGRP-L, -Ialpha, -Ibeta and -S) have been cloned and all four human PGRPs bind PGN. In this study, we examined the possible regulation of the expression of PGRPs in oral epithelial cells upon stimulation with chemically synthesized pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) in bacterial cell surface components: Escherichia coli-type tryacyl lipopeptide (Pam3CSSNA), E. coli-type lipid A (LA-15-PP), diaminopimelic acid containing desmuramyl peptide (gamma-D-glutamyl-meso-DAP; iE-DAP), and muramyldipeptide (MDP). These synthetic PAMPs markedly upregulated the mRNA expression of the four PGRPs and cell surface expression of PGRP-Ialpha and -Ibeta, but did not induce either mRNA expression or secretion of inflammatory cytokines, in oral epithelial cells. Suppression of the expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR)2, TLR4, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)1 and NOD2 by RNA interference specifically inhibited the upregulation of PGRP mRNA expression induced by Pam3CSSNA, LA-15-PP, iE-DAP and MDP respectively. These PAMPs definitely activated nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB in the epithelial cells, and suppression of NF-kappaB activation clearly prevented the induction of PGRP mRNA expression induced by these PAMPs in the cells. These findings suggested that bacterial PAMPs induced the expression of PGRPs, but not proinflammatory cytokines, in oral epithelial cells, and the PGRPs might be involved in host defence against bacterial invasion without accompanying inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Two types of synthetic peptidoglycan fragments, diaminopimelic acid (DAP)-containing desmuramylpeptides (DMP) and muramyldipeptide (MDP), induced secretion of interleukin (IL)-8 in a dose-dependent manner in human monocytic THP-1 cells, although high concentrations of compounds are required as compared with chemically synthesized Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists mimicking bacterial components: TLR2 agonistic lipopeptide (Pam3CSSNA), TLR4 agonistic lipid A (LA-15-PP) and TLR9 agonistic bacterial CpG DNA. We found marked synergistic IL-8 secretion induced by MDP or DAP-containing DMP in combination with synthetic TLR agonists in THP-1 cells. Suppression of the mRNA expression of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)1 and NOD2 by RNA interference specifically inhibited the synergistic IL-8 secretion induced by DMP and MDP with these TLR agonists respectively. In accordance with the above results, enhanced IL-8 mRNA expression and the activation of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB induced by MDP or DMP in combination with synthetic TLR agonists were markedly suppressed in NOD2- and NOD1-silenced cells respectively. These findings indicated that NOD2 and NOD1 are specifically responsible for the synergistic effects of MDP and DMP with TLR agonists, and suggested that in host innate immune responses to invading bacteria, combinatory dual signalling through extracellular TLRs and intracellular NODs might lead to the synergistic activation of host cells.

Abstract
Point mutations of the transcription factor AML1 are associated with leukemogenesis in acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). Internal tandem duplications (ITDs) in the juxtamembrane domain and mutations in the second tyrosine kinase domain of the Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) gene represent the most frequent genetic alterations in AML. However, such mutations per se appear to be insufficient for leukemic transformation. To evaluate whether both AML1 and FLT3 mutations contribute to leukemogenesis, we analyzed mutations of these genes in AML M0 subtype in whom AML1 mutations were predominantly observed. Of 51 patients, eight showed a mutation in the Runt domain of the AML1 gene: one heterozygous missense mutation with normal function, five heterozygous frameshift mutations and two biallelic nonsense or frameshift mutations, resulting in haploinsufficiency or complete loss of the AML1 activities. On the other hand, a total of 10 of 49 patients examined had the FLT3 mutation. We detected the FLT3 mutation in five of eight (63%) patients with AML1 mutation, whereas five of 41 (12%) without AML1 mutation showed the FLT3 mutation (P=0.0055). These observations suggest that reduced AML1 activities predispose cells to the acquisition of the activating FLT3 mutation as a secondary event leading to full transformation in AML M0.

Abstract
We investigated the prognostic significance of genetic polymorphism in glutathione-S transferase mu 1 (GSTM1), glutathione-S transferase theta 1 (GSTT1), NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) and myeloperoxidase (MPO), the products of which are associated with drug metabolism as well as with detoxication, in 193 patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) other than M3. Of the patients, 64.2% were either homozygous or heterozygous for GSTT1 (GSTT1(+)), while 35.8% showed homozygous deletions of GSTT1 (GSTT1(-)). The GSTT1(-) group had a worse prognosis than the GSTT1(+) group (P = 0.04), whereas other genotypes did not affect the outcome. Multivariate analysis revealed that GSTT1(-) was an independent prognostic factor for overall survival (relative risk: 1.53; P = 0.026) but not for disease-free survival of 140 patients who achieved complete remission (CR). The rate of early death after the initiation of chemotherapy was higher in the GSTT1(-) group than the GSTT1(+) group (within 45 days after initial chemotherapy, P = 0.073; within 120 days, P = 0.028), whereas CR rates and relapse frequencies were similar. The null genotype of GSTT1 might be associated with increased toxicity after chemotherapy.

Abstract
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS). MD-2 is associated with TLR4 and imparts LPS responsiveness to it. Little is known, however, as to whether MD-2 directly regulates LPS recognition by TLR4. To address the issue, we took advantage of a species-specific pharmacology of lipid IVa, an analogue of lipid A. Lipid IVa acted agonistically on mouse (m) TLR4/MD-2 but not on human (h) TLR4/MD-2. Lipid IVa antagonized the agonistic effect of lipid A on hTLR4/MD-2. We examined the chimeric complex consisting of mTLR4 and hMD-2 to ask whether species specificity is conferred by TLR4 or MD-2. hMD-2 was clearly distinct from mMD-2 in the way of influencing LPS recognition by mTLR4. hMD-2 conferred on mTLR4 responsiveness to lipid A but not to lipid IVa. Moreover, lipid IVa acted as a lipid A antagonist on mTLR4 that is associated with hMD-2. Collectively, MD-2 directly influences the fine specificity of TLR4.

Abstract
The chemical structure of a lipid A, which was obtained as a minor component from lipopolysaccharide of Helicobacter pylori strain 206-1, was determined to be a glucosamine beta-(1 -6) disaccharide 1-(2-aminoethyl)phosphate acylated by (R)-3-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid, (R)-3- hydroxyhexadecanoic acid, and (R)-3-(octadecanoyloxy)octadecanoic acid at the 2-, 3- and 2'-positions, respectively. Compared with the other major lipid A from the same strain, which was previously reported [Suda Y, Ogawa T, Kashihara W et al. Chemical structure of lipid A from Helicobacter pylori strain 206-1 lipopolysaccharide. J Biochem 1997; 121: 1129--1133], the structure was very similar with one exception. An (R)-3-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid was present at the 3-position of the novel lipid A component. The structure is apparently identical to one of the proposals by Moran et al. [Moran AP, Lindner B, Walsh EJ. Structural characterization of the lipid A component of Helicobacter pylori rough- and smooth-form lipopolysaccharides. J Bacteriol 1997; 179: 6453--6463], who concluded the same structure as the so-called major lipid A from the H. pylori strain NCTC 11637 but without isolating a homogeneous component. The endotoxic properties and pro-inflammatory cytokine-inducing activities of this novel tetra-acyl type lipid A were lower than those of previously reported major tri-acyl type lipid A.

Abstract
A 41-year-old man visited his doctor in May 2000 because of a sore throat and high fever. His symptoms did not improve, despite administration of antibiotics and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Since a chest X-ray examination revealed an anterior mediastinal bulky tumor, he was referred and admitted to our hospital on June 21, 2000. The peripheral white blood cell count was 44,540/microliter with 74% myeloblasts. Bone marrow aspiration revealed a hypercellular marrow with 82% myeloblasts, which were negative for peroxidase and alpha-naphthyl butylate esterase staining. Blast cells were positive for CD7, CD13, CD33, CD34, and HLA-DR, and negative for CD56. A needle biopsy specimen of the mediastinal tumor consisted of myeloblasts. We diagnosed the patient as having CD7 (+) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (M0) with a bulky mediastinal mass based on the surface marker analysis, although the clinical features resembled myeloid/NK precursor acute leukemia. The patient achieved a complete remission after two courses of induction therapy. We are planning an allogeneic stem cell transplantation during his first remission because of the high risk of relapse.

Abstract
Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) therapy was compared with bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in a multicenter, prospective study. Of 254 evaluable patients, 175 received IFN-alpha and 79 received allogeneic BMT, 50 of whom received transplants from human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical related donors and 29 from HLA-matched unrelated donors. Complete hematologic response was achieved by 148 patients (89%) in the IFN-alpha group and 53 (78%) in the BMT group. In the IFN-alpha group, a complete cytogenetic response was induced in 25 patients (15%), a partial cytogenetic response in 37 (23%), and a minor cytogenetic response in 41 (25%). At a median follow-up of 38 months, in the IFN-alpha group the predicted 5-year survival rate was 79%, and the predicted 5-year rate of remaining in chronic phase was 66%. In the BMT group the predicted 5-year survival rate was 72% for related-donor BMT and 67% for unrelated-donor BMT. Among low Sokal-risk patients, 5-year survival did not differ between IFN-alpha therapy and BMT, irrespective of age. In higher Sokal-risk patients, survival for related-donor BMT and unrelated-donor BMT tended to be better than that with IFN-alpha therapy in younger patients. On the other hand, in older patients, survival in the BMT group, especially for those receiving unrelated-donor BMT, appeared to be inferior to that in the IFN-alpha group. Unrelated-donor BMT can be recommended for high-risk younger patients. However, for older patients, it should be performed after careful consideration of prognostic factors such as age, Sokal score, and response to IFN-alpha.

Abstract
The structure of a capsular polysaccharide (CPS) from a clinical isolate of Bacteroides vulgatus was elucidated. B. vulgatus IMCJ 1204 was isolated from feces of a patient with Crohn's disease. CPS was prepared by phenol/water extraction of the bacterial cells followed by hydrophobic interaction chromatography and then gel filtration chromatography of the extract. The structure of CPS was determined by chemical analysis and NMR spectroscopy including DQF-COSY, TOCSY, ROESY, HSQC-TOCSY, HMQC and HMBC to be a polysaccharide composed of the following repeating unit: -->3)beta-D-Glcp(1-->6)[alpha-D-GalpNAc(1-->2)beta-D-Galp(1-->4)]beta-D-GlcpNAc(1-->3)alpha-D-Galp(1-->4)beta-D-Manp(1-->.

Abstract
PURPOSE Heparin binds to human platelets and can cause activation and aggregation, although the mechanisms are unknown. To determine how heparin alters platelet function, we identified platelet-binding sites for heparin and measured heparin's influence on the function of platelet integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa). METHODS Photoaffinity cross-linking and affinity chromatography experiments were performed to identify platelet membrane proteins that bind heparin. Heparin's effect on fibrinogen binding to platelets was measured with a radioligand-binding assay. The translocation to the cytoskeleton of Rap2, a guanosine triphosphate-binding protein, was measured from platelets aggregating in response to heparin and other agonists. RESULTS Cross-linking and affinity chromatographic experiments positively identified the integrin alpha(IIb)beta(3) as a heparin-binding site. Heparin aggregation was calcium dependent. Low concentrations of unfractionated porcine mucosal heparin (2-5 U/mL) significantly increased fibrinogen I 125 binding to activated platelets, whereas higher doses did not. Heparin-mediated platelet aggregation was completely blocked by GRGDS peptide (5 mmol/L), a competitive inhibitor of fibrinogen binding, and was blocked by EDTA (2 mmol/L), which dissociates the functional integrin complex. Aggregation was associated with Rap2 translocation to the cytoskeleton, a sign of outside-in signaling. CONCLUSIONS Heparin binds to the alpha(IIb)beta(3) integrin in vitro and ex vivo, and heparin increases fibrinogen binding to the integrin. Heparin-mediated aggregation requires an intact integrin and ligand and leads to Rap2 translocation to the cytoskeleton-an outside-in signal of ligand engagement. Heparin may directly modulate platelet integrin function, most likely through direct binding and modulation of integrin function.

Abstract
In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), p53 mutations are reportedly infrequent but associated with a poor prognosis. The majority of mutations are missense mutations, which generally lead to accumulation of nuclear p53 protein. However, the prognostic significance of the accumulation remains unknown in AML. In this study, we compared the prognostic value of p53 mutations versus accumulation of the product. p53 mutations were found in 9 (4.5%) of 200 patients with de novo AML. The p53 mutation detectable (mutation+) group had a worse prognosis (p = 0.0009) than the mutation not detectable (mutation-) group. Multivariate analysis showed that the p53 mutation was an independent factor (p = 0.005) for short overall survival as well as 60 yr or older (p = 0.001) and unfavorable karyotypes (p = 0.001). In 79 of the 200 patients, the expression of p53 was studied by immunocytochemistry (ICC) using anti-p53 monoclonal antibody (DO-7). All samples carrying missense mutations (N = 6) were positive for ICC in over 15% of nuclei of each sample, chosen as the optimized cutoff value of p53 accumulation. Accumulation was thus found in 14 of the 79 patients. However, there was no prognostic difference according to the accumulation, because the mutation-/accumulation+ group (N = 8) tended to have a good prognosis. These findings indicate that molecular detection of p53 mutations yields better prognostic information than ICC. In a subset of AML, p53 protein might be accumulated without mutation presumably due to upstream signals of p53.

Abstract
Previously, we showed that several minor macromolecular glycolipids accounting for less than 5% of the lipoteichoic acid (LTA) fraction from Enterococcus hirae ATCC 9790 possess cytokine-inducing activity, whereas the purified LTA does not. In other words, the immunobiological activity of the LTA fraction reported in the 1980s was not attributable to LTA itself, but to other glycolipids coexisting in the fraction. In the present study, we improved the procedure of separation of the active glycolipids and evaluated their effects on cellular activation. The immunobiologically active glycolipids were separated from the crude glycolipid fraction obtained by hot phenol-water extraction of the cells. The total yield of active glycolipids was about fivefold higher than that separated by the previous method. Interleukin-6-inducing activities of the active glycolipids from 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D(3)-differentiated human monocytic leukemia cells, THP-1, were inhibited by anti-CD14 mAbs in a dose-dependent manner. Macrophages from Toll-like receptor (TLR)-2-deficient or -4-deficient mice completely lacked the ability to produce tumor necrosis factor-alpha on stimulation with active glycolipids. These observations indicated that the cellular activation by the active glycolipids from E. hirae is mediated by CD14 and by both TLR2 and TLR4.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS, endotoxin) represent a major virulence factor of Gram-negative bacteria, which can cause septic shock in mammals, including man. The lipid anchor of LPS to the bacterial outer membrane, lipid A, exhibits a peculiar chemical structure, harbours the 'endotoxic principle' of LPS and is also responsible for the expression of pathophysiological effects. Chemically modified lipid A can be endotoxically inactive, but may express strong antagonistic activity against endotoxically active LPS. By applying orientation measurements with attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy on hydrated lipid A samples, we show here that these different biological activities are directly correlated to the intrinsic conformation of lipid A. Bisphosphoryl-hexaacyl lipid A molecules with an asymmetric (4/2) distribution of the acyl chains linked to the diglucosamine backbone have a large tilt angle (> 45 degrees ) of the diglucosamine backbone with respect to the membrane surface, a conical molecular shape (larger cross-section of the hydrophobic than the hydrophilic moiety), and are endotoxically highly active. Monophosphoryl hexaacyl lipid A has a smaller tilt angle, and the conical shape is less expressed in favour of a more cylindrical shape. This correlates with decreasing endotoxic activity. Penta- and tetraacyl lipid A or hexaacyl lipid A with a symmetric acyl chain distribution (3/3) have a small tilt angle (< 25 degrees ) and a cylindrical shape and are endotoxically inactive, but may be antagonistic.

Abstract
Surface structures of bacteria contribute to the microbial pathogenic potential and are capable of causing local and generalized inflammatory reactions. Among these factors, endotoxin and peptidoglycan are of particular medical importance. Both toxic bacterial polymers are now recognized to interact with the same cellular receptor, the CD14 molecule, which is expressed on different types of immune cells, in particular, monocytes/macrophages. The interaction between these bacterial activators and CD14 leads to the production of endogenous mediators such as tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1 (IL-1), and IL-6, which are ultimately responsible for phlogistic responses. The fact that CD14 recognizes not only endotoxin and peptidoglycan but also other glycosyl-based microbial polymers suggests that this cellular surface molecule represents a lectin.

Abstract
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the main inducer of shock and death in Gram-negative sepsis. Recent evidence suggests that LPS-induced signal transduction begins with CD14-mediated activation of 1 or more Toll-like receptors (TLRs). The lipid A analogues lipid IVa and Rhodobacter sphaeroides lipid A (RSLA) exhibit an uncommon species-specific pharmacology. Both compounds inhibit the effects of LPS in human cells but display LPS-mimetic activity in hamster cells. We transfected human TLR4 or human TLR2 into hamster fibroblasts to determine if either of these LPS signal transducers is responsible for the species-specific pharmacology. RSLA and lipid IVa strongly induced NF-kappaB activity and IL-6 release in Chinese hamster ovary fibroblasts expressing CD14 (CHO/CD14), but these compounds antagonized LPS antagonists in CHO/CD14 fibroblasts that overexpressed human TLR4. No such antagonism occurred in cells overexpressing human TLR2. We cloned TLR4 from hamster macrophages and found that human THP-1 cells expressing the hamster TLR4 responded to lipid IVa as an LPS mimetic, as if they were hamster in origin. Hence, cells heterologously overexpressing TLR4 from different species acquired a pharmacological phenotype with respect to recognition of lipid A substructures that corresponded to the species from which the TLR4 transgene originated. These data suggest that TLR4 is the central lipid A-recognition protein in the LPS receptor complex.

Abstract
Previously, we found that NK1.1(+), TCRalpha beta(+) natural killer T (NKT) cells develop in cytokine-supplemented suspension cultures of fetal liver established from normal, but not from beta2 microglobulin-deficient [beta2m(- / -)] mice, and that recombination-deficient SCID fetal liver can reconstiute NKT cell development in beta2m(- / -) fetal liver cultures. We found here that cells of SCID adult liver, bone marrow, spleen and thymus were able to reconstitute NKT cell development in the former culture system with efficiency comparable to normal thymic cells. The reconstitution of NKT cells was also seen in the bone marrow chimeras that had been administered a combination of beta2m(- / -) and Rag-2(- / -) bone marrow cells. Development of NKT cells was hampered by depletion of CD11c(+) or CD11b(+) cells, but not by removal of B220(+) or Gr-1(+) cells from cultures of normal fetal liver cells. Furthermore CD11c(+), CD11b(+) and / or CD11c(+) CD11b(-) cells (both populations were CD1-dull positive) enriched from Rag-2-deficient fetal livers and pulsed with alpha-galactosylceramide, a possible antigen for NKT cells, were shown to reconstitute the NKT cell development in beta2m(- / -) fetal liver cultures. Collectively, our findings suggest that non-lymphoid cells, presumably CD11c(+), CD11b(+) and / or CD11c(+), CD11b(-) dendritic cells, are involved in the mechanism of positive selection of NKT cells in the thymus and extrathymic organs.

Abstract
Refractory anemia (RA) is a very heterogeneous disease regarding biological and clinical features. The International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS) was useful for assessing the prognosis in the whole group of 219 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients. However, the IPSS was not sufficient in 132 RA patients. To predict survival and freedom from acute myeloid leukemia (AML) evolution, we investigated individual prognostic factors based on the clinical parameters (age, gender, morphologic features, cytopenias and cytogenetics) of 132 RA patients using univariate and multivariate analyses. Based on the results, we devised a new system for assessing the prognosis of RA patients. In our system, RA patients with pseudo-Pelger-Huët anomalies >/=3% were classified as high risk (12 patients); of patients without pseudo-Pelger-Huët anomalies >/=3%, those with intermediate/poor karyotype according to IPSS, Hb </=6 g/dl or mMgk >/=10% were classified as intermediate risk (57 patients); and those without high or intermediate risk were classified as low risk (67 patients). In our system, the analyses of both survival times and leukemia-free survival times revealed significant differences among the three groups (P < 0.0001).

Abstract
A synthetic pentasaccharide corresponding to the antithrombin III-binding region in heparin was also found to bind to human platelets. To identify the platelet-binding site in the pentasaccharide which is expected to be a novel sequence in heparin responsible for its platelet-binding, five partial structures of this particular pentasaccharide were synthesized. In a competitive assay using [3H]-heparin, a trisaccharide, O-(2-deoxy-2-sulfamido-3,6-di-O-sulfo-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl)-1--> 4)-O-(2-O-sulfo-alpha-L-idopyranosyluronic acid)-(1-->4)-2-deoxy-2-sulfamido-6-O-sulfo-alpha-D-glucopyranose, was concluded to be a high-affinity site for heparin's binding to platelets.

Abstract
We identified a novel human long fatty acyl CoA synthetase 2 gene, ACS2, as a new ETV6 fusion partner gene in a recurrent t(5;12)(q31;p13) translocation in a patient with refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB) with basophilia, a patient with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) with eosinophilia, and a patient with acute eosinophilic leukemia (AEL). ACS2 is expressed in the brain and bone marrow and is highly conserved in man and rats. The resulting ETV6/ACS2 fusion transcripts showed an out-frame fusion of exon 1 of ETV6 to exon 1 of ACS2 in the AEL case, an out-frame fusion of exon 1 of ETV6 to exon 11 of ACS2 in the AML case, and a short in-frame fusion of ETV6 exon 1 to the 3' untranslated region of ACS2 in the RAEB case. Reciprocal ACS2/ETV6 transcripts were identified in two of the cases. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis with ETV6 cosmids on 12p13, and BACs and P1s on 5q31, demonstrated that the 5q31 breakpoints of the AML and AEL cases involved the 5' portion of the ACS2 gene, and that the 5q31, breakpoint of the RAEB case involved the 3' portion of the ACS2 gene. None of the resulting chimeric transcripts except for the ACS2/ETV6 transcript in the RAEB case led to a fusion protein. Disruption of the second ETV6 allele by t(12;19) was detected in the AML case by FISH analysis. These observations suggest that the disruption of ETV6 and/or ACS2 may lead to the pathogenesis of hematologic malignancies with t(5;12)(q31;p13).

Abstract
There have been few reports describing otomycosis in association with compromised hosts. So we report a neutropenic acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patient complicated with otomycosis caused by superinfection. A 51-year-old male was admitted because a third relapse of AML in March 1998. Two years ago, he was diagnosed as having chronic otitis media involving the VII cranial nerve due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa coinciding with AML. Then, he had suffered from a right-sided earache and otic discharge in accord with every myelosuppression, which improved on treatment with otic administration of ofloxacin. After 1 course of induction chemotherapy, he developed a spiking fever with severe earache and otic discharge at a nadir period of WBC. Ear swab cultures yielded Aspergillus niger and yeast-like fungi. So, he was treated with intravenous administration of amphotericin B (AMPH-B): initial dose was 5 mg/day and was gradually increased to 30 mg/day. Thereafter, the otic symptoms subsided and never recurred. Subsequently, he was given another antifungal agent, itraconazole. Although induction chemotherapies resulted in failure, he did not suffer otic symptoms until his death due to cerebral bleeding in January 1999. For neutropenic patients without rapid hematological improvement, we recommend intensive antifungal therapy as the first-line of therapy for otomycosis rather than local therapy.

Abstract
A new hetero-bifunctional photo crosslinking reagent, 2-(4-azidoanilyl)-4-(4-azabicyclo-[2,2, 2]hexylammonio)-6-morpholino-1,3,5-triazine chloride, was designed to detect and isolate heparin-binding protein(s) that may act as heparin-receptor(s) on the platelet surface. In a preliminary study using ethanol as a model substrate, the reagent was shown to react with the alcoholic hydroxy group under mild conditions and its crosslinking photoreactivity was high. The reagent effectively formed similar covalent bonds with heparin, while preserving its anticoagulant anti-Xa activity. [3H]Heparin labeled with this reagent crosslinked to antithrombin III very specifically but not to ovalbumin, as analyzed by the Bio-imaging Analyzer System (BAS, Fuji Photo Film, Tokyo). Affinity crosslinking of [3H]heparin was then used to detect heparin-binding proteins on the surface of intact platelets. Several discrete protein bands were detected by the BAS-imaging of SDS-PAGE.

Abstract
The Wilms tumor gene (WT1) has been reported to be a prognostic factor and a marker for the detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) in acute leukemia. Using competitive polymerase chain reaction procedures, we examined the expression of the WT1 gene in acute leukemia patients with several tumor-specific DNA markers, including bcr/abl, PML/RAR alpha, and AML1/MTG8. A strong correlation was observed between the levels of WT1 and PML/RAR alpha expression. However, AML1/MTG8 transcripts were detected at all stages of the disease even when the expression level of WT1 gene was low. From these findings, we concluded that monitoring the WT1 expression level is a useful means of determining the effectiveness of chemotherapy, and that WT1 is an effective marker for the detection of MRD, especially in acute myeloid leukemia patients with AML1/MTG8.
