Abstract
OBJECTIVE Extremely preterm infants have low Nuclear Receptor (NR) expression in their developing hepatobiliary systems, as they rely on the placenta and maternal liver for compensation. NRs play a crucial role in detoxification and the elimination of both endogenous and xenobiotic substances by regulating key genes encoding specific proteins. In this study, we utilized an Artificial Placenta Therapy (APT) platform to examine the liver tissue expression of NRs of extremely preterm ovine fetuses. This fetal model, resembling a "knockout placenta," lacks placental and maternal support, while maintaining a healthy extrauterine survival. METHODS Six ovine fetuses at 95 ± 1 d gestational age (GA; term = ∼150 d)/∼600 g delivery weight were maintained on an APT platform for a period of 120 h (APT Group). Six age-matched, in utero control fetuses were delivered at 99-100 d GA (Control Group). Fetal liver tissue samples and blood samples were collected at delivery from both groups and assessed mRNA expression of NRs and target transporters involved in the hepatobiliary transport system using quantitative PCR. Data were tested for group differences with ANOVA (p < .05 deemed significant). RESULTS mRNA expression of NRs was identified in both the placenta and the extremely preterm ovine fetal liver. The expression of HNF4α, LRH1, LXR, ESR1, PXR, CAR, and PPARα/γ were significantly elevated in the liver of the APT Group compared to the Control Group. Moreover, target transporters NTCP, OATP1B3, BSEP, and MRP4 were upregulated, whereas MRP2 and MRP3 were unchanged. Although there was no evidence of liver necrosis or apoptotic changes histologically, there was an impact in the fetal liver of the ATP group at the tissue level with a significant increase in TNFα mRNA, a cytokine involved in liver inflammation, and blood elevation of transaminases. CONCLUSION A number of NRs in the fetal liver were significantly upregulated after loss of placental-maternal support. However, the expression of target transporter genes appeared to be insufficient to compensate role of the placenta and maternal liver and avoid fetal liver damage, potentially due to insufficient excretion of organic anions.

Abstract
Liver fibrosis is a terminal manifestation of various chronic liver diseases. There are no drugs that can reverse the condition. Recently, the importance of interleukin-17 (IL17) in the pathophysiology has been revealed and has attracted attention as a therapeutic target. We aimed to reveal the roles of IL17A and IL17F in liver fibrosis, and to validate the potential of their dual blockade as therapeutic strategy. First, we retrospectively reviewed the longitudinal change of FIB-4 index, a clinical indicator of liver fibrosis, among psoriasis patients treated by brodalumab, which blocks IL17 receptor A (IL17RA). Next, we examined anti-fibrotic efficacy of anti-IL17RA antibody (Ab) in two murine liver fibrosis models by histopathological investigation and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Finally, we analyzed the effect of IL17A and IL17F upon human hepatic stellate cells with RNA sequencing, real-time RT-PCR, western blotting, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and flow cytometry. Clinical data showed that FIB-4 index significantly decreased among psoriasis patients treated by brodalumab. In vivo studies additionally demonstrated that anti-IL17RA Ab ameliorates liver fibrosis induced by tetrachloride and methionine-choline deficient diet. Furthermore, in vitro experiments revealed that both IL17A and IL17F enhance cell-surface expression of transforming growth factor-β receptor II and promote pro-fibrotic gene expression via the JUN pathway in human hepatic stellate cells. Our insights suggest that IL17A and IL17F share their pro-fibrotic function in the context of liver fibrosis, and moreover, dual blockade of IL17A and IL17F by anti-IL17RA Ab would be a promising strategy for the management of liver fibrosis.

Abstract
Recent findings indicate that Solo, a RhoGEF, is involved in cellular mechanical stress responses. However, the mechanism of actin cytoskeletal remodeling via Solo remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to identify Solo-interacting proteins using the BioID, a proximal-dependent labeling method, and elucidate the molecular mechanisms of function of Solo. We identified PDZ-RhoGEF (PRG) as a Solo-interacting protein. PRG co-localized with Solo in the basal area of cells, depending on Solo localization, and enhanced actin polymerization at the Solo accumulation sites. Additionally, Solo and PRG interaction was necessary for actin cytoskeletal remodeling. Furthermore, the purified Solo itself had little or negligible GEF activity, even the GEF-inactive mutant directly activated the GEF activity of the PRG through interaction. Moreover, overexpression of the Solo and PRG binding domains, respectively, had a dominant-negative effect on actin polymerization and actin stress fiber formation in response to substrate stiffness. Therefore, Solo restricts the localization of PRG and regulates actin cytoskeletal remodeling in synergy with PRG in response to the surrounding mechanical environment.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by vasculopathy, aberrant immune activation, and extensive tissue fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Because of the complicated nature of its pathogenesis, the underlying mechanisms of SSc remain incompletely understood. Angiogenic factor with a G-patch domain and a Forkhead-associated domain 1 (AGGF1) is a critical factor in angiogenesis expressed on vascular endothelial cells, associated with inflammatory and fibrotic responses. To elucidate the possible implication of AGGF1 in SSc pathogenesis, we investigated the association between serum AGGF1 levels and clinical manifestations in SSc patients. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of AGGF1 levels in sera from 60 SSc patients and 19 healthy controls with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum AGGF1 levels in SSc patients were significantly higher than those in healthy individuals. In particular, diffuse cutaneous SSc patients with shorter disease duration had higher levels compared to those with longer disease duration and limited cutaneous SSc patients. Patients with higher serum AGGF1 levels had a higher incidence of digital ulcers, higher modified Rodnan Skin Scores (mRSS), elevated serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) levels, C-reactive protein levels, and right ventricular systolic pressures (RVSP) on the echocardiogram, whereas they had reduced percentage of vital capacity (%VC) and percentage of diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (%DLCO) in pulmonary functional tests. In line, serum AGGF1 levels were significantly correlated with mRSS, serum KL-6 and surfactant protein D levels, RVSP, and %DLCO. These results uncovered notable correlations between serum AGGF1 levels and key cutaneous and vascular involvements in SSc, suggesting potential roles of AGGF1 in SSc pathogenesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) comprise a subfamily of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). The JNK group is known to be activated by a variety of stimuli. However, the molecular mechanism underlying heat-induced JNK activation is largely unknown. The aim of this study was to clarify how JNK activity is stimulated by heat. METHODS AND MATERIALS The expression levels of various MAPK members in HeLa cells, with or without hyperthermia treatment, were evaluated via western blotting. The kinase activity of MAPK members was assessed through in vitro kinase assays. Cell death was assessed in the absence or presence of siRNAs targeting MAPK-related members. RESULTS Hyperthermia decreased the levels of MAP3Ks, such as ASK1 and MLK3 which are JNK kinase kinase members, but not those of the downstream MAP2K/SEK1 and MAPK/JNK. Despite the reduced or transient phosphorylation of ASK1, MLK3, or SEK1, downstream JNK was phosphorylated in a temperature-dependent manner. In vitro kinase assays demonstrated that heat did not directly stimulate SEK1 or JNK. However, the expression levels of DUSP16, a JNK phosphatase, were decreased upon hyperthermia treatment. DUSP16 knockdown enhanced the heat-induced activation of ASK1-SEK1-JNK pathway and apoptosis. CONCLUSION JNK was activated in a temperature-dependent manner despite reduced or transient phosphorylation of the upstream MAP3K and MAP2K. Hyperthermia-induced degradation of DUSP16 may induce activation of the ASK1-SEK1-JNK pathway and subsequent apoptosis.

Abstract
Exchange of B800 bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a in light-harvesting complex 2 (LH2) is promising for a better understanding of the mechanism on intracomplex excitation energy transfer of this protein. Structural and spectroscopic properties of LH2 lacking B800 BChl a (B800-depleted LH2), which is an important intermediate protein in the B800 exchange, will be useful to tackle the energy transfer mechanism in LH2 by the B800 exchange strategy. In this study, we report a unique spectral change of B800-depleted LH2, in which the Qy absorption band of B800 BChl a is automatically recovered under neutral pH conditions. This spectral change was facilitated by factors for destabilization of LH2, namely, a detergent, lauryl dimethylamine N-oxide, and an increase in temperature. Spectral analyses in the preparation of an LH2 variant denoted as B800-recovered LH2 indicated that most BChl a that was released by decomposition of part of B800-depleted LH2 was a source of the production of B800-recovered LH2. Characterization of purified B800-recovered LH2 demonstrated that its spectroscopic and structural features was quite similar to those of native LH2. The current results indicate that the recovery of the B800 Qy band of B800-depleted LH2 originates from the combination of decomposition of part of B800-depleted LH2 and in situ reconstitution of BChl a into the B800 binding pockets of residual B800-depleted LH2, resulting in the formation of stable B800-recovered LH2.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop and assess the reliability, validity, and sensitivity of the Japanese version of the University of California Los Angeles Scleroderma Clinical Trial Consortium gastrointestinal tract (GIT) Instrument 2.0 (the GIT score), as an evaluation tool for GIT symptoms in systemic sclerosis (SSc). The Japanese version of the GIT score was constructed using the forward-backward method. The reliability and validity of this instrument were evaluated in a cohort of 38 SSc patients. Correlation analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between the GIT score and existing patient-reported outcome measures. Additionally, the sensitivity of the GIT score was examined by comparing GIT scores before and after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration in 10 SSc-myositis overlap patients, as IVIG has recently demonstrated effectiveness in alleviating GIT symptoms of SSc. As a result, the Japanese version of the GIT score exhibited internal consistency and a significant association with the Frequency Scale for the Symptoms of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. Furthermore, the total GIT score, as well as the reflux and distention/bloating subscales, displayed moderate correlations with the EuroQol 5 dimensions (EQ-5D) pain/discomfort subscale and the Short Form-36 body pain subscale. Notably, following IVIG treatment, there was a statistically significant reduction in the total GIT score and multiple subscales. We first validated the Japanese version of the GIT score in Japanese SSc patients in real-world clinical settings. This instrument holds promise for application in future clinical trials involving this patient population.

The past decade has seen a remarkable growth in the number of bioconjugation techniques in chemistry, biology, material science, and biomedical fields. A core design element in bioconjugation technology is a chemical reaction that can form a covalent bond between the protein of interest and the labeling reagent. Achieving chemoselective protein bioconjugation in aqueous media is challenging, especially for generally less reactive amino acid residues, such as tryptophan. We present here the development of tryptophan-selective bioconjugation methods through ultrafast Lewis acid-catalyzed reactions in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP). Structure-reactivity relationship studies have revealed a combination of thiophene and ethanol moieties to give a suitable labeling reagent for this bioconjugation process, which enables modification of peptides and proteins in an extremely rapid reaction unencumbered by noticeable side reactions. The capability of the labeling method also facilitated radiofluorination application as well as antibody functionalization. Enhancement of an α-helix by HFIP leads to its compatibility with a certain protein, and this report also demonstrates a further stabilization strategy achieved by the addition of an ionic liquid to the HFIP medium. The nonaqueous bioconjugation approaches allow access to numerous chemical reactions that are unavailable in traditional aqueous processes and will further advance the chemistry of proteins.

Abstract
The 5th International Conference of Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus was held in Tokyo, Japan on May 9 and 10, 2023. The latest topics on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of cutaneous lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, and scleroderma (systemic sclerosis, morphea) were presented by experts in each field and new developments discussed. In these rheumatic skin diseases, many clinical trials of novel therapies targeting cytokines, signaling molecules, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, B cells, and other molecules are currently underway, and standardization of outcome assessment was discussed. In addition, the selection of the therapeutic agents available for the diversity of each case is becoming more important, together with the ongoing pathophysiological analysis of the diseases. The achievements of this conference will further promote the development of clinical practice and research in rheumatic skin diseases through international exchange among researchers. We hope that by reporting a summary of the conference in this manuscript, we can share its contents with readers.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease characterized by aberrant immune activation, vascular injury, and fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Ly6/PLAUR domain-containing protein 1 (LYPD1) was reported to be secreted and to have various physiological functions such as anti-angiogenic effects. Here we investigated serum LYPD1 levels in SSc patients and the association of serum LYPD1 levels with clinical features of SSc. Serum samples were obtained from 75 SSc patients and 22 healthy individuals as controls. We measured serum LYPD1 levels using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Then, the relationship between serum LYPD1 levels and clinical features of SSc was analyzed. Serum LYPD1 levels in diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc) patients were significantly higher than those in the limited cutaneous SSc (lcSSc) patients (median [25-75th percentiles], 1693.43 [1086.61-1917.57] vs. 904.55 [714.356-1285.56] pg/mL), while there were no significant differences in the serum LYPD1 levels between lcSSc and healthy controls (904.55 [714.356-1285.56] vs. 750.71 pg/mL [544.00-912.14]). Further analysis revealed that serum LYPD1 levels in patients correlated with skin thickness scores and serum interleukin (IL)-6 levels, which were known to reflect the extent of skin thickening in SSc. Moreover, serum LYPD1 levels showed a decrease with improvement in skin thickness after treatment, along with a decrease in serum IL-6 levels. These results indicate that LYPD1 might be a potential marker for monitoring skin sclerosis and evaluating the efficacy of skin fibrosis treatment in SSc patients.

Abstract
In recent years, the medical use of cannabinoids has attracted growing attention worldwide. In particular, anti-inflammatory properties of cannabinoids led to their emergence as potential therapeutic options for autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Recent studies have also shown that cannabinoid receptors are widely expressed and have endogenous ligands in the skin, suggesting that the skin has its own endocannabinoid system. The aim of this review is to discuss the potential therapeutic effects of cannabinoids in autoimmune and inflammatory skin diseases. Following an overview of cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system, we describe the cellular and molecular mechanisms of cannabinoids in skin health and disease. We then review the clinical studies of cannabinoids in autoimmune and inflammatory skin diseases including systemic sclerosis (SSc), dermatomyositis (DM), psoriasis (Pso) and atopic dermatitis (AD). A primary literature search was conducted in July 2023, using PubMed and Web of Science. A total of 15 articles were included after excluding reviews, non-human studies and in vitro studies from 389 non-duplicated articles. Available evidence suggests that cannabinoids may be beneficial for SSc, DM, Pso and AD. However, further studies, ideally randomized controlled trials, are needed to further evaluate the use of cannabinoids in autoimmune and inflammatory skin diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3) is broadly expressed in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is the target of patritumab deruxtecan (HER3-DXd), an antibody-drug conjugate consisting of a HER3 antibody attached to a topoisomerase I inhibitor payload via a tetrapeptide-based cleavable linker. U31402-A-U102 is an ongoing phase I study of HER3-DXd in patients with advanced NSCLC. Patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated NSCLC that progressed after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) and platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) who received HER3-DXd 5.6 mg/kg intravenously once every 3 weeks had a confirmed objective response rate (cORR) of 39%. We present median overall survival (OS) with extended follow-up in a larger population of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC and an exploratory analysis in those with acquired genomic alterations potentially associated with resistance to HER3-DXd. PATIENTS AND METHODS Safety was assessed in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC previously treated with EGFR TKI who received HER3-DXd 5.6 mg/kg; efficacy was assessed in those who also had prior PBC. RESULTS In the safety population (N = 102), median treatment duration was 5.5 (range 0.7-27.5) months. Grade ≥3 adverse events occurred in 76.5% of patients; the overall safety profile was consistent with previous reports. In 78/102 patients who had prior third-generation EGFR TKI and PBC, cORR by blinded independent central review (as per RECIST v1.1) was 41.0% [95% confidence interval (CI) 30.0% to 52.7%], median progression-free survival was 6.4 (95% CI 4.4-10.8) months, and median OS was 16.2 (95% CI 11.2-21.9) months. Patients had diverse mechanisms of EGFR TKI resistance at baseline. At tumor progression, acquired mutations in ERBB3 and TOP1 that might confer resistance to HER3-DXd were identified. CONCLUSIONS In patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC after EGFR TKI and PBC, HER3-DXd treatment was associated with a clinically meaningful OS. The tumor biomarker characterization comprised the first description of potential mechanisms of resistance to HER3-DXd therapy.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare and refractory systemic disease characterized by fibrosis and vasculopathy in the presence of autoimmune abnormalities. While the exact cause of SSc is incompletely understood, the specific autoantibodies identified in SSc are closely linked to disease severity and prognosis, indicating a significant role of autoimmune abnormalities in the pathogenesis of SSc. Although the direct pathogenic mechanisms of autoantibodies in SSc are not fully elucidated, numerous prior investigations have demonstrated the involvement of B cells in the pathogenesis of SSc through various mechanisms. Additionally, several clinical trials have explored the efficacy of B-cell depletion therapy for SSc, with many reporting positive outcomes. However, the role of B cells in SSc pathogenesis is multifaceted, as they can both promote inflammation and exert inhibitory functions. This article provides an overview of the involvement of B cells in SSc development, incorporating the latest research findings.

Abstract
Few studies have made direct comparisons between treatments for palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP); therefore, it is difficult to select the best treatment for each patient. To determine the best therapy and to compare reported measures of efficacy in clinical trials of systemic treatments for PPP in this systematic review and network meta-analysis. Six databases were used to perform database search on 10 July 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified through a systematic literature search. The titles and abstracts of articles were initially screened for inclusion by two authors independently using our predetermined criteria. The full texts of selected articles were then independently assessed for inclusion in a blinded fashion. Disagreement between the authors was resolved by consensus. Data were abstracted in duplicate. Random-effects model was accepted to perform network meta-analysis. Assessed Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation certainty of evidence were performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. The analysis was completed in July 2022. The primary outcome was the change of PPP Area and Severity Index (PPPASI) from baseline and the secondary outcome was the achievement of PPPASI-50 response. Seven RCTs with 567 patients were included. Guselkumab 100 mg was the one with the highest probability of reaching the proposed outcomes (mean difference [MD], -8.00; 95% confidence interval [CI], 4.88-11.11), while the achievement of PPPASI-50 response did not show a significant difference (odds ratio [OR], 3.79; 95% CI, 0.51-28.37). Guselkumab 200 mg was next to 100 mg of reaching the proposed outcomes (MD, -4.71; 95% CI, 2.12-7.30), while the achievement of PPPASI-50 response did not show a significant difference (OR, 2.34; 95% CI, 0.48-11.43). Network meta-analysis showed guselkumab 100 mg was the treatment with the highest probability of reaching both PPPASI and PPPASI-50 outcomes. Absolute PPPASI may be more appropriate as an outcome than PPPASI-50.

Abstract
Here we report the largest Asian genome-wide association study (GWAS) for systemic sclerosis performed to date, based on data from Japanese subjects and comprising of 1428 cases and 112,599 controls. The lead SNP is in the FCGR/FCRL region, which shows a penetrating association in the Asian population, while a complete linkage disequilibrium SNP, rs10917688, is found in a cis-regulatory element for IRF8. IRF8 is also a significant locus in European GWAS for systemic sclerosis, but rs10917688 only shows an association in the presence of the risk allele of IRF8 in the Japanese population. Further analysis shows that rs10917688 is marked with H3K4me1 in primary B cells. A meta-analysis with a European GWAS detects 30 additional significant loci. Polygenic risk scores constructed with the effect sizes of the meta-analysis suggest the potential portability of genetic associations beyond populations. Prioritizing the top 5% of SNPs of IRF8 binding sites in B cells improves the fitting of the polygenic risk scores, underscoring the roles of B cells and IRF8 in the development of systemic sclerosis. The results also suggest that systemic sclerosis shares a common genetic architecture across populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify and characterize undescribed systemic sclerosis (SSc)-specific autoantibodies targeting nucleolar antigens and to assess their clinical significance. METHODS We conducted proteome-wide autoantibody screening (PWAS) against serum samples from SSc patients with nucleolar patterned anti-nuclear antibodies (NUC-ANAs) of specific antibodies (Abs) unknown, utilizing wet protein arrays fabricated from in vitro human proteome. Controls included SSc patients with already-known SSc-specific autoantibodies, patients with other connective tissue diseases, and healthy subjects. The selection of nucleolar antigens was performed by database search in the Human Protein Atlas. The Presence of autoantibodies was certified by immunoblots and immunoprecipitations. Indirect immunofluorescence assays on HEp-2 cells were also conducted. Clinical assessment was conducted by retrospective review of electric medical records. RESULTS PWAS identified three candidate autoantibodies, including anti-nuclear valosin-containing protein-like (NVL) Ab. Additional measurements in disease controls revealed that only anti-NVL Abs are exclusively detected in SSc. Detection of anti-NVL Abs was reproduced by conventional assays such as immunoblotting and immunoprecipitation. Indirect immunofluorescence assays demonstrated homogeneous nucleolar patterns. Anti-NVL Ab-positive cases were characterized by significantly low prevalence of diffuse skin sclerosis and interstitial lung disease, compared with SSc cases with NUC-ANAs other than anti-NVL Abs, such as anti-U3-RNP and anti-Th/To Abs. CONCLUSION Anti-NVL Ab is an SSc-specific autoantibody associated with a unique combination of clinical features, including limited skin sclerosis and lack of lung involvement.

Abstract
YM-1, an allosteric modulator of heat-shock 70 kDa protein (Hsp70), inhibits cancer cell growth, but the mechanism is not yet fully understood. Here, we show that YM-1 induces the degradation of bromodomain containing 4 (BRD4), which mediates oncogene expression. Overall, our results indicate that YM-1 promotes the binding of HSP70 to BRD4, and this in turn promotes the ubiquitination of BRD4 by C-terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein (CHIP), an E3 ubiquitin ligase working in concert with Hsp70, leading to proteasomal degradation of BRD4. This YM-1-induced decrease of BRD4 would contribute at least in part to the inhibition of cancer cell growth.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a persistent inflammatory skin disease thought to arise as a result of the infiltration of inflammatory cells and activation of keratinocytes. Recent advances in basic research and clinical experience revealed that the interleukin (IL)-23/IL-17 axis has been identified as a major immune pathway in psoriasis. However, it remains unclear how keratinocyte factors contribute to the pathology of psoriasis. Keratinocyte proline-rich protein (KPRP) is a proline-rich insoluble protein, which is present in the epidermis and is likely to be involved in the skin barrier function. Here, to investigate the potential roles of KPRP in psoriatic skin inflammation, Kprp-modified mice were applied in the imiquimod (IMQ)-induced skin inflammation model, which develops psoriasis-like epidermal hyperplasia and cutaneous inflammation features. Then, heterozygous knockout (Kprp+/- ) but not homozygous knockout (Kprp-/- ) mice displayed attenuated skin erythema compared to control wild-type mice. In addition, RNA sequencing, quantitative PCR and/or histological analysis detected changes in the expression of several molecules related to psoriatic inflammation or keratinocyte differentiation in Kprp+/- mice, but not Kprp-/- mice. Further analysis exhibited reduced IL-17-producing γδlow T cells and amplified epidermal hyperplasia in Kprp+/- mice, which were implied to be related to decreased expression of β-defensins and increased expression of LPAR1 (Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1), respectively. Thus, our results imply that KPRP has the potential as a therapeutic target in psoriatic skin inflammation.

Abstract
Introduction Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis. OA results from the breakdown of cartilage, which leads to deterioration of the entire joint and the connective tissue that holds the joint together, and gradually and irreversibly worsens over time. Adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ADSCs) have been used in the treatment of knee OA. However, the safety and efficacy of ADSC treatment of OA remain unclear. In this study, we investigated the pathophysiology of severe knee arthritis that occurred after ADSC treatment by screening for autoantibodies in synovial fluid from patients who received ADSC treatment. Methods Adult Japanese patients with OA who received ADSC treatment at Saitama Cooperative Hospital between June 2018 and October 2021 were enrolled. Antibodies (Abs) were screened using immunoprecipitation (IPP) with [35S]-methionine-labeled HeLa cell extracts. The detected protein was identified by liquid chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MS) and ion trap MS, and the corresponding proteins were confirmed as autoantigens using immunoblotting. Ab titers were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results A total of 113 patients received ADSC treatment, and 75% (85/113) received ADSC injection at least twice with a 6-month interval between. No obvious abnormalities were observed in any patient after their first treatment; by contrast, 53% (45/85) of patients who received their second or third ADSC injection showed severe knee arthritis. IPP detected a common anti-15 kDa Ab in synovial fluid of 62% (8/13) of the samples analyzed from patients who showed severe arthritis. This Ab was not detected in synovial fluid obtained from the same joints before treatment. The corresponding autoantigen was identified as histone H2B. All available synovial samples from patients who tested positive for anti-histone H2B Ab were newly positive after the treatment; that is, none had been positive for anti-histone H2B Ab before treatment. Conclusions Multiple ADSC injections for OA induced severe arthritis in a high percentage of patients, particularly after the second injection. Synovial fluid from some patients with knee arthritis contained Ab to histone H2B that appeared only after ADSC treatment. These findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of ADSC treatment-induced severe arthritis.

Abstract
The polarization of Λ and Λ[over ¯] hyperons along the beam direction has been measured relative to the second and third harmonic event planes in isobar Ru+Ru and Zr+Zr collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. This is the first experimental evidence of the hyperon polarization by the triangular flow originating from the initial density fluctuations. The amplitudes of the sine modulation for the second and third harmonic results are comparable in magnitude, increase from central to peripheral collisions, and show a mild p_{T} dependence. The azimuthal angle dependence of the polarization follows the vorticity pattern expected due to elliptic and triangular anisotropic flow, and qualitatively disagrees with most hydrodynamic model calculations based on thermal vorticity and shear induced contributions. The model results based on one of existing implementations of the shear contribution lead to a correct azimuthal angle dependence, but predict centrality and p_{T} dependence that still disagree with experimental measurements. Thus, our results provide stringent constraints on the thermal vorticity and shear-induced contributions to hyperon polarization. Comparison to previous measurements at RHIC and the LHC for the second-order harmonic results shows little dependence on the collision system size and collision energy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pustulotic arthro-osteitis (PAO) is 1 of the most serious comorbidities associated with palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP). Risk factors of PAO development are not well-known. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical significance of nailfold capillary (NFC) changes in patients with PPP. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study in a population of 102 PPP patients. Correlations of NFC abnormalities, including nailfold bleeding and enlarged capillaries, with the prevalence of PAO, the incidence of new PAO, and serum levels of cytokines were analyzed. RESULTS Detailed examination revealed that of 102 PPP patients, 52 without PAO and 50 with PAO. Both nailfold bleeding and enlarged capillaries were significantly more frequent in patients with PAO (50.0% vs 92.0%, P < .0001; 50.0% vs 94.0%, P < .0001). In addition, PPP patients without PAO were prospectively observed before they developed PAO (mean 28 months [1-52 months]). Multivariate analysis suggested that these NFC abnormalities were predictors of PAO development (hazard ratio 3.37, 95% confidence interval 1.13-10.07; 3.37, 1.13-10.07) and guselkumab prevent PAO development (0.093, 0.012-0.76). The degree of NFC abnormalities correlated with the severity of PAO and serum cytokine levels. LIMITATIONS All participants were Japanese. CONCLUSION NFC abnormalities could be predictors of PAO in PPP patients, and their degree indicators of disease severity.

Abstract
Despite widespread use, dosing regimens for antenatal corticosteroid (ACS) therapy are poorly unoptimized. ACS therapy exerts a programming effect on fetal development, which may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Having demonstrated that low-dose steroid therapy is an efficacious means of maturing the preterm lung, we hypothesized that a low-dose steroid exposure would exert fewer adverse functional and transcriptional changes on the fetal heart. We tested this hypothesis using low-dose steroid therapy (10 mg delivered to the ewe over 36 h via constant infusion) and compared cardiac effects with those of a higher dose treatment (30 mg delivered to the ewe over 24 h by intramuscular injection; simulating currently employed clinical ACS regimens). Fetal cardiac function was assessed by ultrasound on the day of ACS treatment initiation. Transcriptomic analyses were performed on fetal myocardial tissue. Relative to saline control, fetuses in the higher-dose clinical treatment group had significantly lower ratios between early diastolic ventricular filling and ventricular filling during atrial systole, and showed the differential expression of myocardial hypertrophy-associated transcripts including βMHC, GADD45γ, and PPARγ. The long-term implications of these changes remain unstudied. Irrespective, optimizing ACS dosing regimens to maximize respiratory benefit while minimizing adverse effects on key organ systems, such as the heart, offers a means of improving the acute and long-term outcomes associated with this important obstetric therapy.

Abstract
Introduction As a form of precision medicine, this study aimed to investigate the specific patient population that would derive the greatest benefit from tildrakizumab, as well as the mechanism of action and efficacy of tildrakizumab in reducing the occurrence of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods To achieve this, a multi-center, prospective cohort study was conducted, involving a population of 246 psoriasis patients who had not received any systemic therapy or topical finger therapy between January 2020 and April 2023. Two independent clinicians, who were blinded to the study, analyzed nailfold capillary (NFC) abnormalities, such as nailfold bleeding (NFB) and enlarged capillaries, as well as the incidence of new PsA. Additionally, the factors that determined the response of psoriasis after seven months of tildrakizumab treatment were examined. The study also examined the quantity and role of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and T helper 17 cells both pre- and post-treatment. Results The severity of psoriasis, as measured by the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), was found to be more pronounced in the tildrakizumab group (n=20) in comparison to the topical group (n=226). At 7 months after tildrakizumab treatment, multivariate analysis showed that those 65 years and older had a significantly better response to treatment in those achieved PASI clear or PASI 2 or less (Likelihood ratio (LR) 16.15, p<0.0001; LR 6. 16, p=0.01). Tildrakizumab improved the number and function of Tregs, which had been reduced by aging. Tildrakizumab demonstrated significant efficacy in improving various pathological factors associated with PsA. These factors include the reduction of NFB, enlargement of capillaries, and inhibition of PsA progression. The hazard ratio for progression to PsA was found to be 0.06 (95% confidence interval: 0.0007-0.46, p=0.007), indicating a substantial reduction in the risk of developing PsA. Discussion Tildrakizumab's effectiveness in improving skin lesions can be attributed to its ability to enhance the number and function of Tregs, which are known to decline with age. Furthermore, the drug's positive impact on NFB activity and capillary enlargement, both of which are recognized as risk factors for PsA, further contribute to its inhibitory effect on PsA progression.

Abstract
As presently conceptualised, the artificial placenta (AP) is an experimental life support platform for extremely preterm infants (i.e. 400-600 g; 21-23+6 weeks of gestation) born at the border of viability. It is based around the oxygenation of the periviable fetus using gas-exchangers connected to the fetal vasculature. In this system, the lung remains fluid-filled and the fetus remains in a quiescent state. The AP has been in development for some sixty years. Over this time, animal experimental models have evolved iteratively from employing external pump-driven systems used to support comparatively mature fetuses (generally goats or sheep) to platforms driven by the fetal heart and used successfully to maintain extremely premature fetuses weighing around 600 g. Simultaneously, sizable advances in neonatal and obstetric care mean that the nature of a potential candidate patient for this therapy, and thus the threshold success level for justifying its adoption, have both changed markedly since this approach was first conceived. Five landmark breakthroughs have occurred over the developmental history of the AP: i) the first human studies reported in the 1950's; ii) foundation animal studies reported in the 1960's; iii) the first extended use of AP technology combined with fetal pulmonary resuscitation reported in the 1990s; iv) the development of AP systems powered by the fetal heart reported in the 2000's; and v) the adaption of this technology to maintain extremely preterm fetuses (i.e. 500-600 g body weight) reported in the 2010's. Using this framework, the present paper will provide a review of the developmental history of this long-running experimental system and up-to-date assessment of the published field today. With the apparent acceleration of AP technology towards clinical application, there has been an increase in the attention paid to the field, along with some inaccurate commentary regarding its potential application and merits. Additionally, this paper will address several misrepresentations regarding the potential application of AP technology that serve to distract from the significant potential of this approach to greatly improve outcomes for extremely preterm infants born at or close to the present border of viability.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) and dermatomyositis (DM) are autoimmune collagen diseases. Specific autoantibodies are known to be involved in their pathogeneses, each presenting with a different clinical manifestation. Although immunoprecipitation is the gold standard method for detecting autoantibodies, it is difficult to perform in all cases owing to the use of radioisotopes. In this study, we developed a new detection method for SSc and DM autoantibodies (A-cube) using cell-free protein synthesis and examined its validity. Proteins were synthesized using wheat germ cell-free protein synthesis. A total of 100 cases of SSc, 50 cases of DM, and 82 healthy controls were examined. The validity of the method was examined by a comparison with existing test results. Anti-centromere antibody, anti-topoisomerase I antibody, anti-RNA polymerase III antibody, anti-U1RNP anti-body, anti-Jo-1 antibody, anti-TIF1γ antibody, anti-Mi-2 antibody, and anti-ARS antibody were tested for. The results suggested that A-cube is comparable with existing testing methods or has a high sensitivity or specificity. In addition, there was a case in which the diagnosis was reconsidered using the A-cube. The quality of the A-cube was ensured, and its usefulness for a comprehensive analysis was demonstrated. The A-cube can therefore contribute to the clinical assessment and treatment of SSc and DM.

Abstract
Theories of embodied cognition postulate that language processing activates similar sensory-motor structures as when interacting with the environment. Only little is known about the neural substrate of embodiment in a foreign language (L2) as compared to the mother tongue (L1). In this fMRI study, we investigated embodiment of motor and non-motor action verbs in L1 and L2 including 31 late bilinguals. Half had German as L1 and French as L2, and the other half vice-versa. We collapsed across languages to avoid the confound between language and order of language acquisition. Region of interest analyses showed stronger activation in motor regions during L2 than during L1 processing, independently of the motor-relatedness of the verbs. Moreover, a stronger involvement of motor regions for motor-related as compared to non-motor-related verbs, similarly for L1 and L2, was found. Overall, the similarity between L1 and L2 embodiment seems to depend on individual and contextual factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES SSc is an autoimmune disease characterized by excessive fibrosis in multiple organs, including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. GI symptoms of SSc such as intestinal pseudo-obstruction (IPO) are often refractory to conventional intervention and can result in longer in-hospital stay or even increased mortality. We aimed to summarize the insights to date regarding the efficacy of IVIG against GI symptoms of SSc to unveil what we should focus on in future studies. METHODS Herein we report the response of GI symptoms in three cases with SSc-myositis overlap who received IVIG administration. We also conducted a systematic literature review to summarize previous reports regarding the efficacy of IVIG upon the GI manifestations of SSc, according to the PRISMA 2020 guideline. RESULTS The case series demonstrated remarkable and rapid improvement of GI symptoms, including IPO, after IVIG administration. The literature review revealed that previous reports also support the efficacy and safety of IVIG against GI manifestations of SSc. However, they were all retrospective studies and lacking description of the short-term outcome after IVIG administration with objective and quantitative metrics. CONCLUSION IVIG seems to be a promising therapeutic option for the management of GI symptoms in SSc, including IPO. Investigators should focus more on short-term outcomes to properly assess the therapeutic benefit of IVIG, ideally using reliable quantitative measures in a multicentre randomized placebo-controlled setting.

Abstract
Comprehensive autoantibody evaluation is essential for the management of autoimmune disorders. However, conventional methods suffer from poor sensitivity, low throughput, or limited availability. Here, using a proteome-wide human cDNA library, we developed a novel multiplex protein assay (autoantibody array assay; A-Cube) covering 65 antigens of 43 autoantibodies that are associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM). The performance of A-Cube was validated against immunoprecipitation and established enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Further, through an evaluation of serum samples from 357 SSc and 172 PM/DM patients, A-Cube meticulously illustrated a diverse autoantibody landscape in these diseases. The wide coverage and high sensitivity of A-Cube also allowed the overlap and correlation analysis between multiple autoantibodies. Lastly, reviewing the cases with distinct autoantibody profiles by A-Cube underscored the importance of thorough autoantibody detection. Together, these data highlighted the utility of A-Cube as well as the clinical relevance of autoantibody profiles in SSc and PM/DM.

Abstract
Introduction: Artificial placenta therapy (APT) is an experimental life support system to improve outcomes for extremely preterm infants (EPI) less than 1,000 g by obviating the need for pulmonary gas exchange. There are presently no long-term survival data for EPI supported with APT. To address this, we aimed to maintain 95d-GA (GA; term-150d) sheep fetuses for up to 2 weeks using our APT system. Methods: Pregnant ewes (n = 6) carrying singleton fetuses underwent surgical delivery at 95d GA. Fetuses were adapted to APT and maintained for up to 2 weeks with constant monitoring of key physiological parameters and extensive time-course blood and urine sampling, and ultrasound assessments. Six age-matched in-utero fetuses served as controls. Data were tested for group differences with ANOVA. Results: Six APT Group fetuses (100%) were adapted to APT successfully. The mean BW at the initiation of APT was 656 ± 42 g. Mean survival was 250 ± 72 h (Max 336 h) with systemic circulation and key physiological parameters maintained mostly within normal ranges. APT fetuses had active movements and urine output constantly exceeded infusion volume over the experiment. At delivery, there were no differences in BW (with edema in three APT group animals), brain weight, or femur length between APT and in-utero Control animals. Organ weights and humerus lengths were significantly reduced in the APT group (p < 0.05). Albumin, IGF-1, and phosphorus were significantly decreased in the APT group (p < 0.05). No cases of positive blood culture were detected. Conclusion: We report the longest use of APT to maintain extremely preterm fetuses to date. Fetal systemic circulation was maintained without infection, but growth was abnormal. This achievement suggests a need to focus not only on cardiovascular stability and health but also on the optimization of fetal growth and organ development. This new challenge will need to be overcome prior to the clinical translation of this technology.

Abstract
A disintegrin and metalloproteinase (ADAM) family proteins are a major class of membrane-anchored multidomain proteinases that are responsible for the shedding of cell surface protein ectodomains, including amyloid precursor protein (APP). Human ADAM 9, 10, and 17 proteolyze APPs and produce non-amyloid-genic p3 peptides, instead of neurotoxic amyloid-β peptides (Aβs; Aβ40 and Aβ42), which form fibrils and accumulate in the brain of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The ADAM family is closely related to snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs), which are derived from ancestral ADAMs but act as soluble proteinases. To test the therapeutic potential of SVMPs, we purified SVMPs from Protobothrops flavoviridis venom using metal ion affinity and pooled into a cocktail. Thus, 9 out of 11 SVMPs in the P. flavoviridis genome were identified in the cocktail. SVMPs inhibited Aβ secretion when added to human cell culture medium without affecting APP proteolysis. SVMPs degraded synthetic Aβ40 and Aβ42 peptides at the same cleavage site (α-site of APP) as ADAM9, 10, and 17. SVMPs did not degrade Aβ fibrils but interfered with their formation, assessed using thioflavin-T. Thus, SVMPs have therapeutic potential for AD as an Aβ-degrading protease, and the finding adds to the discovery of bioactive peptides from venoms as novel therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is divided into diffuse and limited cutaneous SSc (dcSSc and lcSSc). The dcSSc subtype has more severe internal organ damage. This study aimed to assess whether cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) parametric mapping could detect early cardiac involvement and evaluate differences between these two subtypes. METHODS Eighty SSc patients (37 dcSSc and 43 lcSSc) underwent CMR at 3.0 T (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands) in our hospital between July 2018 and July 2021. We analyzed myocardial damage by CMR parametric mapping and compared it with clinical data. RESULTS The median duration of the disease was 10.2 months. The left ventricular ejection fraction was preserved in both groups. DcSSc had significantly higher native T1 (1333.4 ± 71.2 ms vs. 1295.0 ± 42.7 ms, p = 0.006) and extracellular volume fraction (32.6 ± 4.1 % vs. 30.3 ± 4.0 %, p = 0.018) in the mid-ventricular septum as compared to lcSSc, although there were no differences in T2 values. Native T1 values were positively correlated with the E/e' ratio and left atrial volume indices evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography in overall SSc and dcSSc, but not in lcSSc. Logistic regression analysis revealed that native T1 was an independent predictor of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in SSc patients (odds ratio, 1.194; 95 % confidence interval, 1.021-1.396; p = 0.026). Native T1 was higher in SSc patients with progressive skin lesions. Additionally, there were positive correlations between brain natriuretic peptide, New York Heart Association functional classification, and native T1. CONCLUSIONS CMR parametric mapping is a useful tool for detecting myocardial changes. Native T1 was the most sensitive parameter for identifying diffuse myocardial changes in the early stages of SSc and was associated with left ventricular diastolic function. DcSSc had more severe myocardial involvement than lcSSc; therefore, the use of CMR parametric mapping may aid in its prediction.

Abstract
Context Intrauterine inflammation, a representative stressor for the fetus, has been shown to alter the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis reactivity in preterm fetuses and increase postnatal cortisol production. However, the mechanism of this alteration has not yet been elucidated. Objective We aimed to clarify the effects of endotoxin-induced intrauterine inflammation on the HPA axis of periviable sheep fetuses. Methods Fetal sheep (0.63 term) were divided into 2 groups: (1) the endotoxin group, in which the endotoxin was injected into the amniotic fluid; and (2) the control group, in which the saline solution was injected instead. A corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) challenge test was performed on the third day after injection to evaluate the cortisol-producing capacity of each group. Gene expression levels in the fetal adrenal glands of each group were analyzed by RNA-seq. Results The cortisol levels were significantly higher in the endotoxin group than in the control group after CRH challenge (P = .02). There were no significant differences in the responsiveness of adrenocorticotropin and cortisone between the 2 groups. Gene expression levels of the following enzymes involved in cortisol synthesis were significantly elevated in the endotoxin group: cytochrome P450 family (CYP) 11 subfamily A member 1 (log2FC 1.75), CYP 17 subfamily A member 1 (log2FC 3.41), 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type I (log2FC 1.13), steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (log2FC 1.09), and CYP 21 (log2FC 0.89). Conclusion Periviable fetuses exposed to inflammation in utero have altered the responsiveness of the HPA axis with increased expression of enzymes involved in cortisol synthesis in the adrenal gland.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES PsA is one of the most serious comorbidities associated with psoriasis. While the early intervention in PsA is demanded, risk factors of PsA development are not well-known. This is the first prospective study to evaluate the clinical significance of nailfold capillary (NFC) changes in patients with psoriasis. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study in a population of 449 psoriasis patients who had not been treated with systemic therapy or topical finger therapy. NFCs were observed by dermoscopy and capillaroscopy, and the correlation of NFC abnormalities, including nailfold bleeding (NFB) and enlarged capillaries, with the prevalence of PsA, incidence of new PsA, and serum levels of TNF-a, IL-17A and IL-23 were analysed. RESULTS Detailed examination at the time of inclusion revealed that of 449 patients, 236 had Psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) and 213 had PsA. Both NFB and enlarged capillaries were significantly more frequent in patients with PsA (34.7% vs 84.5%, P < 0.0001; 25.4% vs 100%, P < 0.0001). In addition, PsV patients were prospectively observed before they developed PsA (mean 21 months, 95% CI 2, 77 months). Multivariate analysis suggested that the appearance of NFB and enlarged capillaries was a predictor of PsA development (HR 2.75, 95% CI 1.38, 5.47 and HR 4.49, 95% CI 2.25, 8.96, respectively). The degree of NFC abnormalities also correlated with the severity of PsA and serum cytokine levels. CONCLUSIONS NFC abnormalities were suggested to be a predictor of PsA in psoriasis patients, and at the same time, its degree could be an indicator of disease severity.

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

Abstract
The elliptic (v_{2}) and triangular (v_{3}) azimuthal anisotropy coefficients in central ^{3}He+Au, d+Au, and p+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV are measured as a function of transverse momentum (p_{T}) at midrapidity (|η|<0.9), via the azimuthal angular correlation between two particles both at |η|<0.9. While the v_{2}(p_{T}) values depend on the colliding systems, the v_{3}(p_{T}) values are system independent within the uncertainties, suggesting an influence on eccentricity from subnucleonic fluctuations in these small-sized systems. These results also provide stringent constraints for the hydrodynamic modeling of these systems.

Abstract
We report here the first observation of directed flow (v_{1}) of the hypernuclei _{Λ}^{3}H and _{Λ}^{4}H in mid-central Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=3 GeV at RHIC. These data are taken as part of the beam energy scan program carried out by the STAR experiment. From 165×10^{6} events in 5%-40% centrality, about 8400 _{Λ}^{3}H and 5200 _{Λ}^{4}H candidates are reconstructed through two- and three-body decay channels. We observe that these hypernuclei exhibit significant directed flow. Comparing to that of light nuclei, it is found that the midrapidity v_{1} slopes of _{Λ}^{3}H and _{Λ}^{4}H follow baryon number scaling, implying that the coalescence is the dominant mechanism for these hypernuclei production in the 3 GeV Au+Au collisions.

Abstract
We report the triton (t) production in midrapidity (|y|<0.5) Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=7.7-200 GeV measured by the STAR experiment from the first phase of the beam energy scan at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The nuclear compound yield ratio (N_{t}×N_{p}/N_{d}^{2}), which is predicted to be sensitive to the fluctuation of local neutron density, is observed to decrease monotonically with increasing charged-particle multiplicity (dN_{ch}/dη) and follows a scaling behavior. The dN_{ch}/dη dependence of the yield ratio is compared to calculations from coalescence and thermal models. Enhancements in the yield ratios relative to the coalescence baseline are observed in the 0%-10% most central collisions at 19.6 and 27 GeV, with a significance of 2.3σ and 3.4σ, respectively, giving a combined significance of 4.1σ. The enhancements are not observed in peripheral collisions or model calculations without critical fluctuation, and decreases with a smaller p_{T} acceptance. The physics implications of these results on the QCD phase structure and the production mechanism of light nuclei in heavy-ion collisions are discussed.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is often associated with dysphagia and esophageal dysmotility; however, only a few clinical studies on this topic have been conducted. Patients with SSc who underwent swallowing examinations and esophagography at our institution between 2010 and 2022 were included. A retrospective evaluation of the patients' backgrounds, autoantibody positivity, swallowing function, and esophageal motility was performed using medical charts. The association between dysphagia and esophageal dysmotility in patients with SSc and respective risk factors was investigated. Data were collected from 50 patients. Anti-topoisomerase I antibodies (ATA) and anti-centromere antibodies (ACA) were detected in 21 (42%) and 11 (22%) patients, respectively. Dysphagia was present in 13 patients (26%), and esophageal dysmotility in 34 patients (68%). ATA-positive patients had a higher risk for dysphagia (p = 0.027); ACA-positive patients had a significantly lower risk (p = 0.046). Older age and laryngeal sensory deficits were identified as risk factors for dysphagia; however, no risk factors for esophageal dysmotility were identified. No correlation was found between dysphagia and esophageal dysmotility. Esophageal dysmotility is more common in patients with SSc than in those with dysphagia. Autoantibodies can be predictors of dysphagia, and dysphagia must be carefully considered in ATA-positive and elderly patients with SSc.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive assessment through communication has been the focus of recent studies because the conventional cognitive tests are often considered invasive for older people. Although the Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction is designed to assess cognitive function non-invasively, inter-rater reliability remains unclear. The current study investigated the Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction's reliability. METHODS The Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction was used by four clinical psychologists, who evaluated 38 older people with and without cognitive dysfunction. One clinical psychologist evaluated the assessment based on face-to-face communication with participants, while the other clinical psychologists evaluated it according to the audio data in the digital voice recorder. All clinical psychologists were blind to the results of other conventional cognitive tests and details surrounding participants' daily living activities. RESULTS The univariate correlation scores of the Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction among evaluators ranged from 0.61 to 0.79, all of which were significant (P < 0.001). The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.64 (P < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.53-0.79 for agreement) and 0.67 (P < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.45-0.77 for consistency). The Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction score of all evaluators was significantly associated with conventional cognitive tests like the Mini-Mental State Examination (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The findings suggested that the Conversational Assessment of Neurocognitive Dysfunction has moderate to good inter-rater reliability and high concurrent validity as a cognitive assessment tool, and it would be useful in clinical practice.

Abstract
Systemic inflammation plays a central role in the pathophysiology of psoriasis. This study examined accessible systemic inflammatory markers in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis. We aimed to evaluate their association with psoriasis severity, the presence of arthritis, and drug continuation rates. The findings revealed that neutrophil, monocyte, and platelet count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, monocyte/lymphocyte ratio, systemic inflammation response index, systemic immune/inflammation index (SII), and CRP were positively correlated with Psoriasis Area and Severity Index scores. Patients presenting with higher platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) or CRP values were more likely to be diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis than with psoriasis vulgaris in the multivariate regression analysis. Importantly, patients with higher pretreatment neutrophil or platelet count, PLR, and SII were associated with lower treatment continuation rates of conventional systemic agents. Higher pretreatment scores of systemic inflammatory markers did not affect treatment retention rates of biologics. These findings suggest that several accessible systemic inflammatory markers may effectively assess underlying systemic inflammation and may provide an indication for a therapeutic approach in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis.

Abstract
Importance Rituximab is emerging as a promising therapeutic option for systemic sclerosis (SSc), but its long-term outcomes and response markers are unknown. Objective To evaluate the long-term outcomes after rituximab treatment for SSc and identify potential response markers. Design, Setting, and Participants In this single-center cohort study, patients with SSc who continued to receive rituximab after the DESIRES trial were analyzed with a median follow-up of 96 weeks. Among the 43 patients who completed the DESIRES trial, 31 continued to receive rituximab, of which 29 with complete data were included in this study. Exposures Rituximab treatment. Main Outcomes and Measures A post hoc analysis of the clinical and laboratory data. Results In 29 patients with SSc (27 female [93%]; median [IQR] age, 48 [35-45] years), significant improvement in modified Rodnan skin score (MRSS) and percentage of predicted forced vital capacity (FVC%) were observed after 1 (median [IQR] change in MRSS, -7 [-8.5 to -4]; P < .001) and 3 (median [IQR] change in FVC% predicted, 1.85 [0.13-5.68]; P < .001) courses of rituximab, respectively, both of which were sustained during follow-up. High responders (MRSS improvement of ≥9; n = 16) experienced a greater decrease in serum levels of IgG (median [IQR] change in IgG, -125 [-207 to -83] vs 7 [-120 to 43]; P = .008) and IgA (median [IQR] change in IgA, -45 [-96 to -32] vs -11 [-20 to 3]; P < .001) compared with low responders (MRSS improvement of ≤8; n = 13). In particular, decrease in serum IgA levels significantly correlated with the improvement in MRSS (r = 0.64; P < .001). At the last follow-up, low IgM, low IgA, and low IgG was observed in 7, 1, and 1 patient, respectively, of which low IgM was associated with greater improvement in FVC% predicted (median [IQR] change in FVC% predicted, 7.2 [3.8-8.9] vs 3.6 [1.4-6.2]; P = .003). Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study, rituximab treatment was associated with significantly improved skin and lung fibrosis in SSc in a long-term follow-up. Decrease in serum immunoglobulins was associated with greater clinical response.

Abstract
Protein kinases, found in the nucleus and cytoplasm, play essential roles in a multitude of cellular processes, including cell division, proliferation, apoptosis, and signal transduction. STK38 is a member of the protein kinase A (PKA)/PKG/PKC family implicated in regulating cell division and morphogenesis in yeast and C. elegans. However, its function remained largely unknown in mammals. In recent years, advances in research on STK38 and the identification of its substrates has led to a better understanding of its function and role in mammals. This review discusses the structure, expression, and regulation of activity as a kinase, its role in the DNA damage response, cross-talk with other signaling pathways, and its application for radio-sensitization.
