Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) diagnostic criteria for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis compared to the new American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology 2022 criteria. METHODS Two nationwide cohort studies were used, and participants were categorised as having eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) according to the American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology 2022 and MHLW criteria. RESULTS Of the entire patient population, only 10 (2.1%) were unclassifiable according to the MHLW probable criteria, while a significant number of patients (71.3%) met at least two criteria. The MHLW probable criteria for MPA had some challenges in differentiating between MPA and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, and the same was true for MHLW probable criteria for GPA in differentiating MPA from GPA. Nevertheless, improved classification results were obtained when the MHLW probable criteria were applied in the order of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, MPA, and GPA. CONCLUSIONS The application of MHLW criteria could categorise a substantial number of patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis into one of the three antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis diseases. The classification was in accordance with the American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology 2022 criteria when considering the order of application.

Abstract
AIM To assess the usefulness of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) as a biomarker for systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD), using serum samples and clinical parameters of patients with SSc. METHODS Patients with SSc admitted to Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital between 2010 and 2021 and those who underwent chest computed tomography (CT) were included. Patients were diagnosed with ILD based on chest CT findings, and SSc-ILD was categorized as either a limited or extensive disease based on chest CT and pulmonary function test findings. Serum CA19-9 levels were measured in 56 patients with SSc and in 32 healthy individuals. Additionally, we evaluated the difference in serum CA19-9 levels between the groups, the correlation with ILD area and pulmonary function, and discriminative performance to diagnose extensive ILD. RESULTS Of the 56 patients with SSc, 40 (71.4%) had ILD, and 17 (30.4%) were classified as having extensive disease. Serum CA19-9 levels were significantly elevated in patients with extensive disease compared to those with limited disease (median [interquartile range]: 25.7 U/mL [10.1-50.8] vs. 8.8 U/mL [4.5-17.6], p = .02) and correlated with ILD area (r = .30, p = .02). There was no significant correlation between serum CA19-9 level and pulmonary function. The cutoff of CA19-9 for the diagnosis of the extensive disease was determined to be 19.8 U/mL, with a sensitivity of 64% and specificity of 82% and an area under the curve of 0.74 (95% confidence interval 0.58-0.90). CONCLUSION The serum CA19-9 level may be a useful marker for identifying patients with SSc-ILD with extensive disease.

Abstract
Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (PPFE) is a rare type of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, which is characterised by pleural fibrosis and subjacent parenchymal fibroelastosis of the upper lobes. Herein, we present a case of microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) following PPFE. The patient had abnormal shadows on chest radiographs 15 years before the onset of MPA, and the patient was diagnosed with PPFE. Four years after the PPFE diagnosis, the patient was diagnosed with MPA based on persistent fever, purpura, mononeuritis multiplex, myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positivity, and pathological findings of peritubular capillaritis on kidney biopsy. The patient was treated with glucocorticoids, including methylprednisolone pulse therapy and rituximab, followed by maintenance therapy with rituximab. One year after treatment, the PPFE had not worsened. PPFE occasionally occurs secondary to connective tissue disease, including MPA; however, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of PPFE preceding MPA. Our case suggests that PPFE, as other interstitial lung diseases, may be associated with MPA and precede the onset of MPA. The accumulation of more cases is needed to clarify the characteristics of MPA-associated PPFE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology 2022 criteria with the previous classification algorithm for anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis. METHODS We used data from two nationwide, prospective, inception cohort studies. The enrolled patients were classified as having eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) according to the new criteria; these criteria were compared with Watts' algorithm. RESULTS Among 477 patients, 10.7%, 9.9%, and 75.6% were classified as having EGPA, GPA, and MPA, respectively; 6.1% were unclassifiable. Three patients met both the EGPA and MPA criteria, and eight patients met both the GPA and MPA criteria. Of 78 patients with GPA classified using Watts' algorithm, 27 (34.6%) patients were reclassified as having MPA. Ear, nose, and throat involvement was significantly less frequent in patients reclassified as having MPA than in those reclassified as having GPA. Of 73 patients unclassifiable using Watts' algorithm, 62 were reclassified as having MPA. All patients reclassified as having MPA were myeloperoxidase-anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positive, and 46 had interstitial lung disease. CONCLUSION Although the American College of Rheumatology/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology 2022 criteria cause overlapping multiple criteria fulfilments in some patients, those items contribute to classifying unclassifiable patients using Watts' algorithm into MPA.

Abstract
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4 inhibitors have been reported to suppress the progression of dermal fibrosis in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc); however, the precise mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Therefore, we conducted experiments focusing on the antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects of apremilast using dermal fibroblasts derived from patients with SSc and an SSc mouse model. Dermal fibroblasts derived from healthy controls and patients with SSc were incubated with apremilast in the presence or absence of 10 ng/ml transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 for the measurement of intracellular cAMP levels and evaluation of mRNA and protein expression. A bleomycin-induced dermal fibrosis mouse model was used to evaluate the inhibitory effects of apremilast on the progression of dermal fibrosis. Intracellular cAMP levels were significantly reduced in dermal fibroblasts derived from patients with SSc compared with those derived from healthy controls. Apremilast reduced the mRNA expression of profibrotic markers and the protein expression of type I collagen and Cellular Communication Network Factor 2 (CCN2) in dermal fibroblasts. Additionally, apremilast inhibited the progression of dermal fibrosis in mice, partly by acting on T cells. These results suggest that apremilast may be a potential candidate for treating dermal fibrosis in SSc.

Abstract
We present the first comprehensive tests of the universality of the light leptons in the angular distributions of semileptonic B^{0}-meson decays to charged spin-1 charmed mesons. We measure five angular-asymmetry observables as functions of the decay recoil that are sensitive to lepton-universality-violating contributions. We use events where one neutral B is fully reconstructed in ϒ(4S)→BB[over ¯] decays in data corresponding to 189 fb^{-1} integrated luminosity from electron-positron collisions collected with the Belle II detector. We find no significant deviation from the standard model expectations.

Abstract
We measure the lifetime of the D_{s}^{+} meson using a data sample of 207 fb^{-1} collected by the Belle II experiment running at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The lifetime is determined by fitting the decay-time distribution of a sample of 116×10^{3} D_{s}^{+}→ϕπ^{+} decays. Our result is τ_{D_{s}^{+}}=(499.5±1.7±0.9) fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This result is significantly more precise than previous measurements.

Abstract
We report the first search for a nonstandard-model resonance decaying into τ pairs in e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}τ^{+}τ^{-} events in the 3.6-10 GeV/c^{2} mass range. We use a 62.8 fb^{-1} sample of e^{+}e^{-} collisions collected at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. The analysis probes three different models predicting a spin-1 particle coupling only to the heavier lepton families, a Higgs-like spin-0 particle that couples preferentially to charged leptons (leptophilic scalar), and an axionlike particle, respectively. We observe no evidence for a signal and set exclusion limits at 90% confidence level on the product of cross section and branching fraction into τ pairs, ranging from 0.7 to 24 fb, and on the couplings of these processes. We obtain world-leading constraints on the couplings for the leptophilic scalar model for masses above 6.5 GeV/c^{2} and for the axionlike particle model over the entire mass range.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the CP-violating parameters C and S in B^{0}→K_{S}^{0}π^{0} decays at Belle II using a sample of 387×10^{6} BB[over ¯] events recorded in e^{+}e^{-} collisions at a center-of-mass energy corresponding to the ϒ(4S) resonance. These parameters are determined by fitting the proper decay-time distribution of a sample of 415 signal events. We obtain C=-0.04_{-0.15}^{+0.14}±0.05 and S=0.75_{-0.23}^{+0.20}±0.04, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to provide evidence for the revision of clinical practice guidelines for the management of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis by the Japan Research Committee for Intractable Vasculitis. METHODS PubMed, CENTRAL, and the Japan Medical Abstracts Society databases were searched for articles published between 2015 and 2020 to update the systematic review for existing clinical questions, while PubMed, CENTRAL, EMBASE, and the Japan Medical Abstracts Society were searched for articles published between 2000 and 2020 to conduct a systematic review for newly developed clinical questions. The certainty of evidence was assessed with the GRADE approach. RESULTS For remission induction, when used in conjunction with cyclophosphamide or rituximab, reduced-dose glucocorticoid lowered the risk of serious adverse events compared to standard-dose glucocorticoid. Avacopan improved sustained remission at 12 months compared to high-dose glucocorticoid. Addition of plasma exchange to remission induction therapy did not reduce the risk of death, end-stage kidney disease, or relapse. For remission maintenance, rituximab reduced the risk of relapse compared to azathioprine. Long-term rituximab or azathioprine reduced the risk of relapse compared to short-term rituximab or azathioprine, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provided evidence required to develop the 2023 clinical practice guideline for the management of ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of the ratio of branching fractions of inclusive semileptonic B-meson decays, R(X_{e/μ})=B(B→Xeν)/B(B→Xμν), a precision test of electron-muon universality, using data corresponding to 189 fb^{-1} from electron-positron collisions collected with the Belle II detector. In events where the partner B meson is fully reconstructed, we use fits to the lepton momentum spectra above 1.3 GeV/c to obtain R(X_{e/μ})=1.007±0.009(stat)±0.019(syst), which is the most precise lepton-universality test of its kind and agrees with the standard-model expectation.

Evaluation of RABBIT risk score in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis starting first bDMARDs: a validation study using the IORRA cohort data. Mod Rheumatol 2023:road066.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the ability of the Rheumatoid Arthritis Observation of Biologic Therapy (RABBIT) risk score to predict the occurrence of serious infections in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), after initiating their first biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD). METHODS We used data from the Institute of Rheumatology, Rheumatoid Arthritis (IORRA) cohort from 2008 to 2020. Patients with RA who were started on their first bDMARDs were included. Those with missing data required to calculate the score were excluded. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the discriminatory ability of the RABBIT score. RESULTS A total of 1,081 patients were enrolled. During the one-year observational period, 23 (1.7%) patients had serious infections; the most frequent one was bacterial pneumonia (n=11, 44%). The median RABBIT score in the serious infection group was significantly higher than that in the non-serious infection group (2.3 [1.5-5.4] vs 1.6 [1.2-2.5], p<0.001). The area under the ROC curve for the occurrence of serious infections was 0.67 (95% confidence interval 0.52-0.79), suggesting that the score had low accuracy. CONCLUSION Our present study revealed that the RABBIT risk score did not have sufficient discriminatory ability for predicting the development of severe infections in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis after initiating their first bDMARD.

Abstract
The L_{μ}-L_{τ} extension of the standard model predicts the existence of a lepton-flavor-universality-violating Z^{'} boson that couples only to the heavier lepton families. We search for such a Z^{'} through its invisible decay in the process e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}Z^{'}. We use a sample of electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019-2020, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79.7 fb^{-1}. We find no excess over the expected standard-model background. We set 90%-confidence-level upper limits on the cross section for this process as well as on the coupling of the model, which ranges from 3×10^{-3} at low Z^{'} masses to 1 at Z^{'} masses of 8 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
We study B^{+}→π^{+}π^{0}π^{0} using 711 fb^{-1} of data collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. We measure an inclusive branching fraction of (19.0±1.5±1.4)×10^{-6} and an inclusive CP asymmetry of (9.2±6.8±0.7)%, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic, and a B^{+}→ρ(770)^{+}π^{0} branching fraction of (11.2±1.1±0.9_{-1.6}^{+0.8})×10^{-6}, where the third uncertainty is due to possible interference with B^{+}→ρ(1450)^{+}π^{0}. We present the first observation of a structure around 1 GeV/c^{2} in the π^{0}π^{0} mass spectrum, with a significance of 6.4σ, and measure a branching fraction to be (6.9±0.9±0.6)×10^{-6}. We also report a measurement of local CP asymmetry in this structure.

Abstract
We search for lepton-flavor-violating τ^{-}→e^{-}α and τ^{-}→μ^{-}α decays, where α is an invisible spin-0 boson. The search uses electron-positron collisions at 10.58 GeV center-of-mass energy with an integrated luminosity of 62.8 fb^{-1}, produced by the SuperKEKB collider and collected with the Belle II detector. We search for an excess in the lepton-energy spectrum of the known τ^{-}→e^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e}ν_{τ} and τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ} decays. We report 95% confidence-level upper limits on the branching-fraction ratio B(τ^{-}→e^{-}α)/B(τ^{-}→e^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e}ν_{τ}) in the range (1.1-9.7)×10^{-3} and on B(τ^{-}→μ^{-}α)/B(τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ}) in the range (0.7-12.2)×10^{-3} for α masses between 0 and 1.6 GeV/c^{2}. These results provide the most stringent bounds on invisible boson production from τ decays.

Abstract
We study the processes e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{bJ}(1P) (J=0, 1, or 2) using samples at center-of-mass energies sqrt[s]=10.701, 10.745, and 10.805 GeV, corresponding to 1.6, 9.8, and 4.7 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity, respectively. These data were collected with the Belle II detector during special operations of the SuperKEKB collider above the ϒ(4S) resonance. We report the first observation of ωχ_{bJ}(1P) signals at sqrt[s]=10.745 GeV. By combining Belle II data with Belle results at sqrt[s]=10.867 GeV, we find energy dependencies of the Born cross sections for e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{b1,b2}(1P) to be consistent with the shape of the ϒ(10753) state. These data indicate that the internal structures of the ϒ(10753) and ϒ(10860) states may differ. Including data at sqrt[s]=10.653 GeV, we also search for the bottomonium equivalent of the X(3872) state decaying into ωϒ(1S). No significant signal is observed for masses between 10.45 and 10.65 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
An absolute measurement of the Λ_{c}^{+} lifetime is reported using Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+} decays in events reconstructed from data collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. The total integrated luminosity of the data sample, which was collected at center-of-mass energies at or near the ϒ(4S) resonance, is 207.2 fb^{-1}. The result, τ(Λ_{c}^{+})=203.20±0.89±0.77 fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic, is the most precise measurement to date and is consistent with previous determinations.

Abstract
The dark photon A^{'} and the dark Higgs boson h^{'} are hypothetical particles predicted in many dark sector models. We search for the simultaneous production of A^{'} and h^{'} in the dark Higgsstrahlung process e^{+}e^{-}→A^{'}h^{'} with A^{'}→μ^{+}μ^{-} and h^{'} invisible in electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV in data collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019. With an integrated luminosity of 8.34 fb^{-1}, we observe no evidence for signal. We obtain exclusion limits at 90% Bayesian credibility in the range of 1.7-5.0 fb on the cross section and in the range of 1.7×10^{-8}-200×10^{-8} on the effective coupling ϵ^{2}×α_{D} for the A^{'} mass in the range of 4.0 GeV/c^{2}<M_{A^{'}}<9.7 GeV/c^{2} and for the h^{'} mass M_{h^{'}}<M_{A^{'}}, where ϵ is the mixing strength between the standard model and the dark photon and α_{D} is the coupling of the dark photon to the dark Higgs boson. Our limits are the first in this mass range.

Abstract
An 18-year-old Japanese woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) experienced dyspnoea, headache, tinnitus, and purpura for two weeks and was admitted to our hospital. The patient had been diagnosed with SLE and secondary immune thrombocytopenia eight years before and treated with high-dose prednisolone (PSL) and mycophenolate mofetil. Since the blood test on admission showed haemolytic anaemia with a positive direct Coombs test and anti-glycoprotein IIb/IIIa antibodies, the patient was initially diagnosed with Evans syndrome (ES). The patient was treated with pulse intravenous methylprednisolone followed by 45 mg/day prednisolone; however, the patient's platelet count did not normalise. Based on a low level of a disintegrin-like metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 13 (ADAMTS-13) activity and a high level of ADAMTS-13 inhibitors, a diagnosis of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) was confirmed. After undergoing therapeutic plasma exchange for six consecutive days, the patient's platelet count recovered rapidly. Although concurrent acquired TTP and ES have not been reported previously, the findings from this case highlight the importance of measuring ADAMTS-13 activity and inhibitors to rule out acquired TTP, especially when ES is refractory to glucocorticoids.

Abstract
Takayasu arteritis (TAK) is a rare, large-vessel vasculitis, frequently presenting at approximately 20 years of age. Patients with TAK without characteristic clinical findings are sometimes left undiagnosed and are followed by a fever of unknown origin; delayed diagnosis may lead to irreversible ischaemia and organ damage. Here, we report a case of an 18-year-old woman with TAK complicated by acute pericarditis at initial presentation. She was diagnosed with idiopathic acute pericarditis and treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). However, the patient's fever and pain in the chest and upper back persisted. On admission to our hospital, magnetic resonance angiography and ultrasonography revealed wall thickening in the common carotid artery, subclavian artery, and aorta, along with vascular narrowing in the celiac, superior mesenteric, and bilateral renal arteries. The patient was diagnosed with TAK and treated with glucocorticoids, including methylprednisolone pulse therapy, and azathioprine. The treatment improved the patient's signs and symptoms, and pericardial effusion decreased. Acute pericarditis is a rare manifestation of TAK, but it is important to differentiate diseases, including TAK in patients with acute pericarditis who fail to respond to 2-3 weeks of conventional therapy with NSAIDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ability to avoid obstacles efficiently and safely is important for older adults to prevent injuries from tripping and falling. It is important to find an optimal spatial margin between the body and an obstacle considering both safety and efficiency. One side of finding the optimal margin is to decrease the margin in terms of motor efficiency. In this study, we tested whether fingertip-contact intervention to obtain haptic feedback information to perceive the relationship between body and the environment could immediately improve spatial perception and collision avoidance behavior (an instantaneous effect). METHODS Twenty-seven older adults (12 males and 15 females) participated in the experiment. In the intervention of the fingertip-contact group, they lightly touched the edge of a door with both fingertips while walking. The test task before and after the intervention involved grasping a horizontal bar and passing through a narrow opening. As dependent variables, we measured the spatial margin and the collision rate. RESULTS The fingertip-contact group showed a significant decrease in the spatial margin after the intervention. On the other hand, there was no significant improvement in the collision rate after the intervention but rather a decrease only in the control group. CONCLUSION The results obtained in this study indicate that touching obstacles with the fingertips had an instantaneous effect, leading to efficient movement learning, although a possible side effect of an increased collision rated was also found. The proposed intervention might promote an efficiency-based strategy due to learning the spatial relationship between the body and the environment, and it may suppress the excessive avoidance of older adults.

Abstract
A developing supercritical collisionless shock propagating in a homogeneously magnetized plasma of ambient gas origin having higher uniformity than the previous experiments is formed by using high-power laser experiment. The ambient plasma is not contaminated by the plasma produced in the early time after the laser shot. While the observed developing shock does not have stationary downstream structure, it possesses some characteristics of a magnetized supercritical shock, which are supported by a one-dimensional full particle-in-cell simulation taking the effect of finite time of laser-target interaction into account.

Abstract
BackgroundSerum Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-6) levels has much evidence as a biomarker about the progression and prognosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD), including systemic sclerosis (SSc)-associated ILD1-4. However, serum KL-6 levels often fluctuate regardless of the progression of ILD. This sometimes mislead the evaluation of the disease activity, however, the reason for the fluctuation has not been clarified.ObjectivesWe tested the hypothesis that serum KL-6 levels are affected by ambient temperature in patients with SSc.MethodsWe defined the warm season(May–October)as the period when the ambient temperature was above the Tokyo metropolitan average ambient temperature announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency, and the cold season (November–April)as the period when the ambient temperature was below the average. ILD was classified based on chest CT findings. Among SSc patients who had visited our department since May 2018, we selected those who had data of serum KL-6 levels at least 3 times in warm and cold seasons from October 2014 to September 2021, respectively. Patients having malignancy were excluded after confirmation of the onset of malignancy using medical record retrospectively. The difference in serum KL-6 levels between warm and cold seasons was evaluated by Wilcoxon’s rank-sum test.ResultsIn total, 252 patients with SSc were included. Median age was 66.3 years, with median disease duration of 13.5 (8.9–19.2)years, diffuse cutaneous type of 94 (37.3%)patients, and concomitant ILD of 120(47.6%)patients (Table 1). The median follow-up was 6.4 (4.4–6.8)years, with median KL-6 measurement of 24(14–39)times. Serum KL-6 levels were significantly higher in the cold season than that in the warm season, with a greater difference in the group with ILD(536 IU/L vs. 492 IU/L, p = 0.0012 in the group with ILD, 364 IU/L vs. 345 IU/L in the group without ILD, p = 0.0028).Table 1.Patients characteristicsWith ILD (n=120)Without ILD (n=132)P valueFemale, n (%)110 (43.7)128 (52.4)0.1Age, years (IQR)65.8(56.1–73.4)66.4(56.0–72.5)0.77Disease duration, years (IQR)14.0 (9.8-21.0)13.0 (8.7-18.0)0.23Modified Rodnan skin score (IQR)10 (4-15)6 (2-11)0.0017Diffuse SSc, n (%)53 (40.2)27 (20.5)<0.001Pulmonary hypertension, n (%)4 (3.3)3 (2.3)0.71ANA positive, n (%)98 (81.7)112 (84.8)0.50SSc-related autoantibody, n (%)98 (81.7)112 (84.8)0.50Anti-centromere antibody, n (%)17 (14.2)86 (71.7)<0.0001Anti-topoisomeraseⅠ antibody, n (%)63 (52.5)8 (6.1)<0.0001Anti-RNA polymerase Ⅲ antibody, n (%)7 (5.8)11 (8.3)0.62Anti-U1-RNP antibody, n (%)15 (12.5)13 (9.8)0.54KL-6, IU/L (IQR)548 (384–876.8)233 (191.3–302)<0.0001KL-6 measurement, times (IQR)33.5(20-45)18.5(12.3-28)<0.0001Steroid use, n (%)68 (56.7)22 (16.7)<0.0001Cyclophosphamide, n (%)44 (36.7)12 (9.1)<0.0001Other Immunosuppressive agents, n (%)31 (25.8)0.002ConclusionOur results suggest that cold ambient temperature may affect serum KL-6 levels in patients with SSc.References[1]Distler O, et al.

Abstract
BackgroundSerious infection is one of the most critical adverse events in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). During the first year, infections occur more frequently. Therefore, estimating the risk of developing a serious infection is important for the safe use of bDMARDs. The Rheumatoid Arthritis Observation of Biologic Therapy (RABBIT) risk score predicted the incidence rate of serious infection during 1 year in patients with RA taking DMARDs. Moreover, it has been validated using data from various observational cohort studies and nationwide registries with favorable results, with a reported area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.68–0.871–5. However, the RABBIT risk score has not been validated in RA patients starting a first bDMARD.ObjectivesTo investigate the discriminatory ability of the RABBIT risk score for predicting the development of serious infection during 1 year after starting first bDMARDs in Japanese patients with RA using data from the Institute of Rheumatology, Rheumatoid Arthritis (IORRA) cohort.MethodsThe IORRA cohort is a large observational cohort at the Institute of Rheumatology, Tokyo Women’s Medical University. Japanese patients with RA visiting our institute were registered and clinical parameters were assessed biannually. This study enrolled patients with RA who were registered in the IORRA cohort and treated with a first bDMARD. Patients who were missing data needed to calculate the RABBIT risk score were excluded. The RABBIT risk score was calculated using the patient’s age, comorbidities, Japanese-Health Assessment Questionnaire score, history of previous infections, and types of DMARDs used. Serious infections were defined as those requiring hospitalization or treatment with intravenous antibiotics. The occurrence of serious infection during 1 year after starting the first bDMARDs was identified using data from the biannual IORRA cohort and confirmed using medical records. The discriminatory ability of the RABBIT risk score was analyzed by the AUROC.ResultsA total of 1,081 patients with RA and a median age of 55.3 years, in which females were the majority (88.2%), were included. Serious infection occurred in eight patients during 1 year before starting their first bDMARDs. The number of patients starting a TNF inhibitor, IL-6 inhibitor, and abatacept were 830 (76.8%), 170 (15.7%), and 81 (7.5%), respectively. A total of 23 patients (1.7%) had serious infections during 1 year after starting the first bDMARD; the most frequent infection was pneumonia (n=16, 69.6%). The median RABBIT score was 2.3 (IQR 1.6–5.4) in patients with serious infections during the follow-up period, and 1.6 (IQR 1.2–2.5) in patients without serious infections. The discriminatory ability of the RABBIT risk score was slightly poor, with an AUROC of 0.67 (95% CI, 0.52– 0.79).ConclusionThe RABBIT risk score is highly practical; however, our present study suggested that some adjustments may be required to predict the risk of serious infection in Japanese patients with RA starting a first bDMARD.Figure 1.ROC curve of serious infection and RABBIT score with an AUROC of 0.67 (95% CI, 0.52– 0.79).Disclosure of InterestsTomoaki Higuchi: None declared, Eiichi Tanaka Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Asahi Kasei pharma co., Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Eisai Pharmaceutical, Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Nippon Kayaku, Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., and UCB Pharma., Paid instructor for: Abbvie, Asahi Kasei pharma co., Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Eisai Pharmaceutical, Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Nippon Kayaku, Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., and UCB Pharma., Eisuke Inoue Speakers bureau: Bristol-Meyers and Pfizer, Consultant of: Nippontect systems, Mai Abe: None declared, Kumiko Saka: None declared, Eri Sugano: None declared, Naohiro Sugitani: None declared, Yoko Shimizu: None declared, Moeko Ochiai: None declared, Rei Yamaguchi: None declared, Katsunori Ikari Speakers bureau: Asahi Kasei Pharma Corp., Astellas Pharma Inc., AbbVie Japan GK, Ayumi Pharmaceutical Co., Bristol Myers Squibb Co., Ltd., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Eisai Co., Ltd., Eli Lilly Japan K.K., Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Kaken Pharmaceutical Co.

Abstract
According to ICH S3A Q&A focusing on microsampling, its application should be avoided in main study animals for test drugs that could exacerbate hematological parameters with frequent blood sampling. However, no study has reported the effects of microsampling on toxicity parameters of drugs known to induce hematological toxicity. Therefore, we assessed the toxicological effects of serial microsampling on rats treated with phenacetin as a model drug. In a common 28-day study, 50 µL of microsampling was performed at 6-time points on days 1 to 2 and 7-time points on days 27 to 28 from the jugular vein of Sprague Dawley rats. The study was performed independently by two organizations. The toxicological influence of microsampling was evaluated on body weight, food consumption, hematology, blood clinical chemistry, urine parameters, organ weights, and tissue pathology. Phenacetin treatments induced significant changes of various hematological parameters (including hemoglobin and reticulocytes), some organ weights (including liver and spleen), and some hematology-related pathological parameters in the liver, spleen and bone marrow. Meanwhile, serial microsampling exhibited minimal influence on the assessed parameters, although 20 parameters showed statistical differences mostly at one organization. The current results support the notion that serial 50 μL microsampling from the jugular vein had minimal impacts on overall toxicological profiles even in rats treated with a drug inducing hematological toxicity, but the potential adverse effect on certain parameters could not be fully excluded. Accordingly, this microsampling technique has possibility to be employed even for non-clinical rat toxicity studies using drugs with potentially hematological toxicity.

Abstract
We present an experimental method to generate quasiperpendicular supercritical magnetized collisionless shocks. In our experiment, ambient nitrogen (N) plasma is at rest and well magnetized, and it has uniform mass density. The plasma is pushed by laser-driven ablation aluminum (Al) plasma. Streaked optical pyrometry and spatially resolved laser collective Thomson scattering clarify structures of plasma density and temperatures, which are compared with one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. It is indicated that just after the laser irradiation, the Al plasma is magnetized by a self-generated Biermann battery field, and the plasma slaps the incident N plasma. The compressed external field in the N plasma reflects N ions, leading to counterstreaming magnetized N flows. Namely, we identify the edge of the reflected N ions. Such interacting plasmas form a magnetized collisionless shock.

Abstract
The standard model of particle physics is both incredibly successful and glaringly incomplete. Among the questions left open is the striking imbalance of matter and antimatter in the observable universe1, which inspires experiments to compare the fundamental properties of matter/antimatter conjugates with high precision2-5. Our experiments deal with direct investigations of the fundamental properties of protons and antiprotons, performing spectroscopy in advanced cryogenic Penning trap systems6. For instance, we previously compared the proton/antiproton magnetic moments with 1.5 parts per billion fractional precision7,8, which improved upon previous best measurements9 by a factor of greater than 3,000. Here we report on a new comparison of the proton/antiproton charge-to-mass ratios with a fractional uncertainty of 16 parts per trillion. Our result is based on the combination of four independent long-term studies, recorded in a total time span of 1.5 years. We use different measurement methods and experimental set-ups incorporating different systematic effects. The final result, [Formula: see text], is consistent with the fundamental charge-parity-time reversal invariance, and improves the precision of our previous best measurement6 by a factor of 4.3. The measurement tests the standard model at an energy scale of 1.96 × 10-27 gigaelectronvolts (confidence level 0.68), and improves ten coefficients of the standard model extension10. Our cyclotron clock study also constrains hypothetical interactions mediating violations of the clock weak equivalence principle (WEPcc) for antimatter to less than 1.8 × 10-7, and enables the first differential test of the WEPcc using antiprotons11. From this interpretation we constrain the differential WEPcc-violating coefficient to less than 0.030.

Abstract
Information on the biodistribution (BD) of cell therapy products (CTPs) is essential for prediction and assessment of their efficacy and toxicity profiles in non-clinical and clinical studies. To conduct BD studies, it is necessary to understand regulatory requirements, implementation status, and analytical methods. This review aimed at surveying international and Japanese trends concerning the BD study for CTPs and the following subjects were investigated, which were considered particularly important: 1) comparison of guidelines to understand the regulatory status of BD studies in a global setting; 2) case studies of the BD study using databases to understand its current status in cell therapy; 3) case studies on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) used primarily in non-clinical BD studies for CTPs; and 4) survey of imaging methods used for non-clinical and clinical BD studies. The results in this review will be a useful resource for implementing BD studies.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the D^{0} and D^{+} lifetimes using D^{0}→K^{-}π^{+} and D^{+}→K^{-}π^{+}π^{+} decays reconstructed in e^{+}e^{-}→cc[over ¯] data recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The data, collected at center-of-mass energies at or near the ϒ(4S) resonance, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 72 fb^{-1}. The results, τ(D^{0})=410.5±1.1(stat)±0.8(syst) fs and τ(D^{+})=1030.4±4.7(stat)±3.1(syst) fs, are the most precise to date and are consistent with previous determinations.

Impact of Concomitant Chronic Kidney Disease on Hospitalized Infections and Remission in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results from the IORRA Cohort. Mod Rheumatol 2021; 32:875-884. [PMID: 34751783 DOI: 10.1093/mr/roab082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD) on unfavourable clinical events and remission in Japanese patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS We included 5,103 patients with RA with CKD from the Institute of Rheumatology Rheumatoid Arthritis (IORRA) cohort in 2012. CKD stages were classified into four groups: CKD with normal eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and proteinuria; mild CKD, eGFR ≥45-<60; moderate CKD, eGFR ≥30-<45; and severe CKD, eGFR <30. We assessed the association between concomitant CKD and the occurrence of unfavourable clinical events or achieving remission during a 5-year observational period. RESULTS Of the 5,103 patients with RA, 686 (86.6%) had CKD. Concomitant CKD was associated with hospitalized infections (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.07-2.13, p=0.02), especially in the moderate to severe CKD group (aHR 1.93, 95% CI 1.12-3.13, p=0.02). Of all subjects, 2,407 (47.2%) had active RA at baseline and 401 (16.7%) had CKD. Concomitant CKD was also associated with failure of achieving remission (aHR 0.82, 95% CI 0.68-0.99, p=0.04). CONCLUSION Concomitant CKD was a risk factor for hospitalized infections in Japanese patients with RA and failure of achieving remission in patients with active RA.

Abstract
A search for the flavor-changing neutral-current decay B^{+}→K^{+}νν[over ¯] is performed at the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 63 fb^{-1} collected at the ϒ(4S) resonance and a sample of 9 fb^{-1} collected at an energy 60 MeV below the resonance. Because the measurable decay signature involves only a single charged kaon, a novel measurement approach is used that exploits not only the properties of the B^{+}→K^{+}νν[over ¯] decay, but also the inclusive properties of the other B meson in the ϒ(4S)→BB[over ¯] event, to suppress the background from other B meson decays and light-quark pair production. This inclusive tagging approach offers a higher signal efficiency compared to previous searches. No significant signal is observed. An upper limit on the branching fraction of B^{+}→K^{+}νν[over ¯] of 4.1×10^{-5} is set at the 90% confidence level.

Abstract
AIM Calcinosis is often observed in systemic sclerosis (SSc), but its pathogenesis remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to explore the association of clinical features with calcinosis in patients with SSc. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed analyzing 416 SSc patients from our SSc database. We examined the clinical features with relation to calcinosis and SSc. RESULTS Calcinosis was observed in 24.0% of patients with SSc. The group with calcinosis comprised more female patients (P < 0.05) and diffuse cutaneous types (P < 0.001) than the group without calcinosis. Complications of Raynaud's phenomenon (P < 0.05), nail fold bleeding (NFB) (P < 0.001), peripheral bone resorption (P < 0.001), myositis (P < 0.001), and pulmonary hypertension (P < 0.05) were more frequently observed in patients with calcinosis compared with those without calcinosis. The group with calcinosis had a higher modified Rodnan total skin-thickness score (mRSS) than the group without calcinosis (P < 0.001). The factors that affected calcinosis in multivariable analysis were peripheral bone resorption (partial correlation coefficient 0.46, 34%), anti-Scl-70 antibody (partial correlation coefficient 0.29, 20%), diffuse type (partial correlation coefficient 0.34, 16%) and NFB (partial correlation coefficient 0.23, 11.2%). CONCLUSIONS Calcinosis in SSc is associated with Raynaud's phenomenon, NFB, and pulmonary hypertension, so peripheral circulatory insufficiency seems to be one of the causes of calcinosis. Furthermore, as it is related to mRSS and the diffuse cutaneous type, common factors related to skin fibrosis are considered to be involved.

Abstract
We present a measurement of R_{K^{*}}, the branching fraction ratio B(B→K^{*}μ^{+}μ^{-})/B(B→K^{*}e^{+}e^{-}), for both charged and neutral B mesons. The ratio for the charged case R_{K^{*+}} is the first measurement ever performed. In addition, we report absolute branching fractions for the individual modes in bins of the squared dilepton invariant mass q^{2}. The analysis is based on a data sample of 711 fb^{-1}, containing 772×10^{6} BB[over ¯] events, recorded at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The obtained results are consistent with standard model expectations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although immunotherapy is thought to be a promising cancer treatment, most patients do not respond to immunotherapy. In this post hoc analysis of a phase 1/2 study, associations of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), PD-L2, and HLA class I expressions with responses to dendritic cells (DCs)-based immunotherapy were investigated in patients with advanced sarcoma. METHODS This study enrolled 35 patients with metastatic and/or recurrent sarcomas who underwent DC-based immunotherapy. The associations of PD-L1, PD-L2, and HLA class I expressions in tumor specimens, which were resected before immunotherapy, with immune responses (increases of IFN-γ and IL-12) and oncological outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS Patients who were PD-L2 (+) showed lower increases of IFN-γ and IL-12 after DC-based immunotherapy than patients who were PD-L2 (-). The disease control (partial response or stable disease) rates of patients who were PD-L1 (+) and PD-L1 (-) were 0% and 22%, respectively. Disease control rates of patients who were PD-L2 (+) and PD-L2 (-) were 13% and 22%, respectively. Patients who were PD-L1 (+) tumors had significantly poorer overall survival compared with patients who were PD-L1 (-). No associations of HLA class I expression with the immune response or oncological outcomes were observed. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that PD-L1 and PD-L2 are promising biomarkers of DC-based immunotherapy, and that addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors to DC-based immunotherapy may improve the outcomes of DC-based immunotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the development of cell therapy products for human use, studies on the biodistribution of transplanted cells in animals are important for assessing the safety and efficacy of these products. Although a few reports have described the biodistribution of human cells in animals using Arthrobacter luteus-based-polymerase chain reaction (Alu-PCR), most have used genomic DNA or synthetic oligonucleotide as calibrators, as opposed to actual cells. In addition, bioanalytical variability in the quantification of cells with respect to specificity, selectivity, accuracy, and precision, has not been evaluated. Accordingly, in this study, we validated the utility of this bioanalytical method for human T cells in mice to establish assay performance using cells as a calibrator. METHODS A standard curve was constructed for the addition of cell lysates to mouse tissues and blood, and DNA was extracted. Alu-PCR was applied for the quantification of human peripheral blood CD8+ T cells in mice. To determine assay performance, we evaluated accuracy, precision, selectivity, specificity, and stability. In vivo cell kinetics and biodistribution were investigated based on intravenous administration of human T cells to mice. RESULTS Alu-PCR enabled us to specifically detect human T cells in mouse blood and tissues. The lower detection limit of Alu-PCR was 10 cells/15 mg tissue (7.5 mg for spleen and lung) or cells/50 μL blood. Given that PCR threshold cycle (Cq) values among mouse samples (blood, liver spleen, lung, heart, and kidney) show slight variation, calibration curves should be generated using the same tissue as used for the assay. Most coefficients of variation in the assay were within 30%. The cell kinetics of administered human T cells in mice were successfully evaluated using the established Alu-qPCR. CONCLUSIONS The Alu-PCR technique developed in this study showed sufficient specificity and sensitivity in detecting human peripheral blood CD8+ T cells in mice. This technique, which targets the primate-specific Alu gene, is applicable for quantifying transplanted human cells in animals without the necessity of cell labeling. The data presented herein will be useful for standardizing bioanalytical approaches in biodistribution studies of cell therapy products.

Abstract
We present a search for the direct production of a light pseudoscalar a decaying into two photons with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB collider. We search for the process e^{+}e^{-}→γa, a→γγ in the mass range 0.2<m_{a}<9.7 GeV/c^{2} using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of (445±3) pb^{-1}. Light pseudoscalars interacting predominantly with standard model gauge bosons (so-called axionlike particles or ALPs) are frequently postulated in extensions of the standard model. We find no evidence for ALPs and set 95% confidence level upper limits on the coupling strength g_{aγγ} of ALPs to photons at the level of 10^{-3} GeV^{-1}. The limits are the most restrictive to date for 0.2<m_{a}<1 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
Background:Skin rashes as a side effect of Tocilizumab therapy (TCZ- Tx) has not been paid much attention, because the incidence was only 1~2% in the drug information sheets. However, we experienced several RA cases with development of various skin rashes associated with neutrophil activation after TCZ-Tx. On the other hand, it is well known that the neutrophil counts in peripheral blood decreases after TCZ-Tx, whereas it does not affect the rate of serious infections. The detailed mechanism is still unclear.Objectives:To detect the characteristics of the changes in gene expressions of peripheral blood associated with TCZ-Tx and the development of skin rashes as its side effect.Methods:Total of 14 RA patients with TCZ-Tx were included. Among them, 4 patients developed TCZ-related rashes (group S) and 10 patients did not show any side effects (group C). Peripheral whole blood at just before (pre) and 3 months after (post) TCZ-Tx from each patient were subjected to the analysis. Total RNAs were extracted with PAXgene miRNA kit and analyzed with next-generation sequencing. First, group C was investigated for the normal response to TCZ-Tx. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were selected by paired comparison (post vs. pre). And then, enrichment analysis using gene ontology (GO) terms were performed. Second, to explore the characteristics of group S, all expressed genes in 14 cases at just before TCZ-Tx were subjected to a hierarchical clustering analysis. The DEGs (group S vs. C and post vs. pre) were also investigated with weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and GO analysis. Meanwhile, the total eigengene expressions of the important modules identified by WGCNA in each cases were also calculated.Results:Surprisingly, 8 out of the top 10 enriched GO terms in the up-regulated genes were relevant to leukocyte activation such as ‘neutrophil migration” by the analysis of DEGs (post vs. pre) in group C. The cluster analysis of ‘pre’ genes confirmed that the patterns of gene expression between group S and C was different. WGCNA analysis of DEGs (group S vs. C) revealed that genes related to acute inflammation such as ‘leukocyte mediated immunity’ were activated in group S. Interestingly, it was not correlated with disease activity score (DAS) of RA. By the analysis of DEGs (post vs. pre) of upregulated genes, we found that the total eigengene expressions of the module enriched with genes related to ‘cell adhesion’ or ‘leukocyte migration’ were significantly increased in all cases of group S.Conclusion:This is the first evidence that the genes associated with neutrophil migration is significantly activated after TCZ-Tx. It is noteworthy that the gene activation was observed in cases without any side effects. The decreased neutrophil counts in peripheral blood have been known after initiation of TCZ-Tx, which did not affect the rate of serious infections. Recently, It was reported that TCZ affects neutrophil trafficking to the bone marrow1). Our findings will provide a rationale for its cause. On the other hand, we experienced several RA cases with development of various skin rashes associated with neutrophil activation after TCZ-Tx. However, majority of patients do not develop the side effect, even though genes related to ‘neutrophil migration’ are activated. In group S, our findings indicate that the genes related to ‘leukocyte mediated immunity’ was already activated at the initiation of treatment without correlating to DAS of RA, furthermore, the gene upregulation related to ‘leukocyte migration’ was more prominent after TCZ-Tx. Although it is difficult to predict the patients developing skin rashes before TCZ-Tx, we do not recommend to use TCZ for the patients with neutrophilic dermatosis which is often associated with RA.References: :[1]Lok LSCet al.,Eur J Clin Invest. 47(10):736-745 (2017).Disclosure of Interests: :Moe Sakamoto: None declared, Akemi Senoh: None declared, Yoshiharu Sato: None declared, Hiroshi Iijima: None declared, Mari Yamaguchi: None declared, Toshie Higuchi: None declared, Yoshinobu Koyama Grant/research support from: Eli-Lilly and Mochida., Speakers bureau: BMS, Ayumi, Chugai, Ono, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Abbvie and Eisai.

Abstract
Background:After accumulation of evidences, it is recognized that inhibition of IL-6 signaling is one of the most established strategies for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. Tocilizumab (TCZ), an anti-IL6 receptor monoclonal antibody, is the pioneer which blocks IL-6 signaling by preventing IL-6 from binding to both membrane-bound and soluble receptors. Tofacitinib (TOF) inhibits Janus kinase (JAK) 1, JAK3 and, to a lesser extent, JAK2. Recently, Baricitinib (BAR), JAK 1 and JAK2 selective kinase inhibitor, were also approved to treat RA. These JAK inhibitors are known to inhibit cytokine signaling including interleukin (IL)-6. It is very important for clinicians to know whether these treatments affect common biological processes or disparate, because it will provide a rationale for switching each other if one of these treatments resulted in lack of efficacy.Objectives:To compare the gene-expression modification profiles among TOF, BAR and TCZ treatments.Methods:Total of 38 RA cases were analyzed, including TOF (n=15: 6-20mg/d), BAR (n=10: 2-4mg/d) and TCZ (n=13: 8mg/kg/4w or 163mg/2w) treatment groups. Peripheral blood was drawn at just before (pre) and 3 months after (post) these treatments. Total RNAs were then extracted with using PAXgene miRNA kit. After constructing single-stranded, strand-specific libraries, multiplex sequencing was done. After quantifying the expressions of transcripts, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were selected by paired comparison (post vs. pre), setting thresholds at 2-fold change up/down and less than P=0.05 in paired T-test. And then, hierarchical clustering analysis and enrichment analysis using gene ontology (GO) terms were performed.Results:From the comparison of post- vs. pre-treatment of TOF, BAR and TCZ, the 120 (up-regulated=25/down-regulated=95), 62 (up=20/down=42) and 193 (up=54/ down=139) genes were selected as DEGs respectively. It seems to be discrete depending on the treatment, because overlapped genes were only 1.0% in up-regulated and 5.7% in down-regulated genes. The hierarchical clustering with expression profiles of these DEGs showed major 4 clusters. 92.3% of TCZ and 70% of BAR cases were segregated into 1stand 3rdclusters respectively, while those of TOF cases fell into 2ndand 4thclusters. Disparate GO terms were enriched in each DEGs group. For example, genes relevant to viral defense including ‘response to type I interferon (IFN)’ were suppressed in TOF group. Meanwhile, down regulation of genes involved in phosphorylation process including ‘IL-7 signaling’ seemed to be significant in BAR group. It is noteworthy that terms related to wound healing such as ‘platelet activation’ were enriched in the down-regulated genes of TCZ group.Conclusion:It is speculated that the downstream biological cascade for TOF, BAR and TCZ treatment might be shared, as IL-6 signaling is mediated by JAK1/JAK2/TYK2 activation. However, the influence of these treatments over the transcriptome in the peripheral blood seems to be disparate. Enrichment analysis using GO terms also indicated that different biological processes were involved in the effect of each treatment. Our findings will support a rationale for switching each other if one of these treatments resulted in lack of efficacy. An increased risk of herpes zoster by a treatment with JAK inhibitors has been well recognized. It makes sense because IFN signaling is also mediated by JAK/STAT pathway. On the other hand, we have experienced a case with exacerbation of skin ulcer during TCZ treatment despite the activity of RA was absolutely under control. It is accounted for by the suppression of genes involved in wound healing after TCZ treatment.Disclosure of Interests: :Yoshinobu Koyama Grant/research support from: Eli-Lilly and Mochida., Speakers bureau: BMS, Ayumi, Chugai, Ono, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Abbvie and Eisai., Yoshiharu Sato: None declared, Moe Sakamoto: None declared, Hiroshi Iijima: None declared, Toshie Higuchi: None declared

Abstract
The experimental results on the ratios of branching fractions R(D)=B(B[over ¯]→Dτ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(B[over ¯]→Dℓ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{ℓ}) and R(D^{*})=B(B[over ¯]→D^{*}τ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{τ})/B(B[over ¯]→D^{*}ℓ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{ℓ}), where ℓ denotes an electron or a muon, show a long-standing discrepancy with the standard model predictions, and might hint at a violation of lepton flavor universality. We report a new simultaneous measurement of R(D) and R(D^{*}), based on a data sample containing 772×10^{6} BB[over ¯] events recorded at the ϒ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB e^{+}e^{-} collider. In this analysis the tag-side B meson is reconstructed in a semileptonic decay mode and the signal-side τ is reconstructed in a purely leptonic decay. The measured values are R(D)=0.307±0.037±0.016 and R(D^{*})=0.283±0.018±0.014, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. These results are in agreement with the standard model predictions within 0.2, 1.1, and 0.8 standard deviations for R(D), R(D^{*}), and their combination, respectively. This work constitutes the most precise measurements of R(D) and R(D^{*}) performed to date as well as the first result for R(D) based on a semileptonic tagging method.

Abstract
Theories beyond the standard model often predict the existence of an additional neutral boson, the Z^{'}. Using data collected by the Belle II experiment during 2018 at the SuperKEKB collider, we perform the first searches for the invisible decay of a Z^{'} in the process e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}Z^{'} and of a lepton-flavor-violating Z^{'} in e^{+}e^{-}→e^{±}μ^{∓}Z^{'}. We do not find any excess of events and set 90% credibility level upper limits on the cross sections of these processes. We translate the former, in the framework of an L_{μ}-L_{τ} theory, into upper limits on the Z^{'} coupling constant at the level of 5×10^{-2}-1 for M_{Z^{'}}≤6 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
Sm-doped CeO2-δ (Ce0.9Sm0.1O2-δ; SDC) thin films were prepared on Al2O3 (0001) substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The prepared thin films were preferentially grown along the [111] direction, with the spacing of the (111) plane (d111) expanded by 2.6% to compensate for a lattice mismatch against the substrate. The wet-annealed SDC thin film, with the reduced d111 value, exhibited surface protonic conduction in the low-temperature region below 100 °C. The O1s photoemission spectrum exhibits H2O and OH- peaks on the SDC surface. These results indicate the presence of physisorbed water layers and the generation of protons on the SDC (111) surface with oxygen vacancies. The protons generated on the SDC surface were conducted through a physisorbed water layer by the Grotthuss mechanism.

Abstract
Methotrexate (MTX)-induced intestinal mucosal injury in animals has been studied to understand how MTX can cause gastrointestinal disorders, but the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal disorders is still uncertain. We have attempted to reveal how dietary factors influence intestinal toxicity due to MTX. Mice were fed normal chow (NC) or a high-fat high-sucrose diet (HFHSD) before oral administration of MTX. While MTX significantly decreased the survival rates of mice fed HFHSD, the intestinal epithelial injury was detected. MTX excretion in the feces of mice fed HFHSD was reduced. Change of diets between NC and HFHSD influences the survival. The survival rates of the mice fed a high-sucrose diet or control diet were higher than those fed HFHSD. Higher survival rates were observed in mice fed a high-fat high-sucrose diet modified (HFHSD-M) in which casein was replaced by soybean-derived proteins. The survival rates of mice treated with vancomycin were lower than those administered neomycin. Microbiome and metabolome analyses on feces suggest a similarity of the intestinal environments of mice fed NC and HFHSD-M. HFHSD may modify MTX-induced toxicity in intestinal epithelia on account of an altered MTX distribution as a result of change in the intestinal environment.

Abstract
Background: Oily fish and their extracted oils may be a source of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) which can induce toxic effects on the consumers. The main aim of this survey was estimation of PCBs intake through fish oil-derived dietary supplements and prescription drugs in the Japanese population. Methods: PCBs levels were determined in 20 fish oil-derived dietary supplements and 6 oil-derived prescription drugs from the Japanese market using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Then, the daily exposure to PCBs was estimated. Data were statistically analyzed using JMP software suite. Results: Totally, 17 of the 26 fish oil-derived products were contaminated with PCBs. The median PCB concentrations in the total set of fish oil-derived products was 2.2 ng/g oil wt. with a range of <MDL-720 ng/g oil wt. The average total daily intake of PCBs was estimated to be ranged from 770 to 2800 ng/day in the Japanese population. Conclusion: PCBs intakes through fish oil-derived dietary supplements and prescription drugs in the Japanese adults were much lower than tolerable daily intake

Abstract
Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder, and only a few cases have been reported to be complicated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). A 43-year-old man who presented with multiple swollen lymph nodes was diagnosed with iMCD. He was also diagnosed with AIHA based on laboratory findings, including the results of a bone marrow aspiration study. The patient was treated with tocilizumab; however, the effect was limited, probably due to anti-drug antibodies. Tocilizumab was therefore switched to rituximab, and his anemia was improved. Complication with AIHA should be carefully considered when iMCD patients present with severe anemia.
