Abstract
BACKGROUND Regional lymph node recurrence after radical surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an oligo-recurrent disease; however, no treatment strategy has been established. In the present study we aimed to determine the clinical outcomes of postoperative regional lymph node recurrence and identify prognostic predictors in the era of molecular-targeted therapy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data on clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with regional lymph node recurrence after surgery who underwent treatment for NSCLC between 2002 and 2022. RESULTS A total of 53 patients were included in this study. The median time between surgery and detection of recurrence was 1.21 years. Radiotherapy (RT) alone and chemoradiotherapy (CRT) were performed in 38 and six patients, respectively. Driver gene alterations were detected in eight patients (EGFR: 6, ROS1:1, and BRAF: 1) and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression was examined in 22 patients after 2016. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) after lymph node recurrences were 1.32 and 4.34 years, respectively. Multiple lymph node recurrence was an independent prognostic factor for PFS, whereas driver gene alteration was the only prognostic factor for OS. There was no significant difference in the OS between patients stratified according to the initial treatment modality for lymph node recurrence. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that the number of tumor recurrences may correlate with PFS, while detection of driver gene alterations could guide decision-making for the appropriate molecular-targeted therapy to achieve longer OS.

Abstract
The anatomy of the lung was originally described based on data acquired from cadaveric studies and surgical findings. Over time, computed tomography (CT) and three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques have been developed, allowing for reconstruction and understanding of lung anatomy in a more intuitive way. The wide adoption of 3D-CT imaging technology has led to a variety of anatomical studies performed not only by anatomists but also by surgeons and radiologists. Such studies have led to new or modified classification systems, shed light on lung anatomy from a useful surgical viewpoint, and enabled us to analyze lung anatomy with a focus on particular anatomical features. 3D images also allow for enhanced pre- and intra-operative simulation, improved surgical safety, enhanced educational utility, and the capacity to perform large-scale anatomical studies in shorter time frames. We will review here the key features of 3D-CT imaging of the lung, along with representative anatomical studies regarding (I) general lung anatomy, (II) anatomy of the right and left lobes, and (III) features of interlobar vessels. The current surge of 3D imaging analysis shows that the field is growing, with the technology continuing to improve. Future studies using these new and innovative methodologies will continue to refine our understanding of lung anatomy while enhancing our ability to perform safe and effective surgical resections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thymoma is associated with autoimmune diseases. Myasthenia gravis is frequently associated with thymoma, but cases of thymoma complicated by alopecia areata are very rare. In this report, we present a case of thymoma associated with alopecia areata, but without Myasthenia gravis. CASE PRESENTATION A 60-year-old woman had a complaint of rapid progression of alopecia areata. A hair follicular biopsy was performed, which showed the infiltration of CD8-positive lymphocytes. She was prescribed topical steroids for 2 months prior to surgery, but her hair loss was not improved. Screening computed tomography showed a mass in the anterior mediastinum, which was suspected to be a thymoma. Myasthenia gravis was ruled out because she had no relevant symptoms or physical findings, and no anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies were detected in serum. We performed a transsternal extended thymectomy based on a diagnosis of thymoma Masaoka stage I, without myasthenia gravis. Pathological examination showed Type AB thymoma, Masaoka stage II. The chest drainage tube was removed on postoperative day 1, and the patient was discharged on postoperative day 6. The patient has continued topical steroids and showed improvement 2 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Although alopecia areata is a rare complication in thymoma cases without myasthenia gravis, thoracic surgeons need to keep this condition in mind because alopecia reduces the patient's quality of life.

Abstract
Lenvatinib is a multitargeted kinase inhibitor and maintaining its dose intensity has been shown to be beneficial in patients with thyroid and hepatocellular carcinomas. However, most patients require lenvatinib interruption and dose reduction due to the high incidence of adverse events (AEs). Lenvatinib was recently approved in Japan for patients with unresectable thymic carcinoma; however, real-world evidence of its clinical benefit is limited. Here, we report the case of chemotherapy-refractory thymic carcinoma in a patient who was administered a starting dose of lenvatinib using a 5-day on/2-day off (weekend-off) protocol, followed by alternate-day administration after fatigue onset derived from overt or subclinical hypothyroidism. Consequently, the patient exhibited a durable response to lenvatinib, with a 17-month progression-free survival without any severe or intolerable AEs. The present case suggests that maintaining lenvatinib dose intensity using such alternative administration regimens contributes to favorable clinical outcomes in thymic carcinoma.

Abstract
AIMS Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare form of adult sarcoma with distinct histology and NR4A3 gene fusion. Immunohistochemically, EMCs are variably positive for S100 protein and neuroendocrine markers. Unlike histologically similar soft-tissue myoepithelial tumours, keratin expression is rare. Prompted by two recent EMC cases with diffuse keratin expression, we investigated the expression of epithelial markers in a molecularly confirmed cohort of EMC and identified two additional similar cases. METHODS AND RESULTS Four keratin-positive EMCs occurred in one man and three women aged 46-59 years. All tumours displayed nonclassic histology with prominent stromal fibrosis, and keratin AE1/AE3 was expressed either diffusely (N = 2) or focally (N = 2). In one tumour, keratin expression was limited to the sclerotic area. All tumours coexpressed epithelial membrane antigen and two additionally expressed S100 protein or glial fibrillary acidic protein. All tumours harboured NR4A3 fusions, including TAF15::NR4A3 (N = 1) and EWSR1::NR4A3 (N = 3). Two cases were initially considered as most consistent with myoepithelial tumours based on widespread stromal fibrosis and keratin expression. DNA methylation analysis classified two tumours tested as EMCs. CONCLUSIONS We identified a small subset of EMCs characterised by keratin expression and prominent stromal fibrosis. This histological pattern must be recognised in the differential diagnosis of myoepithelial tumours because misclassification may lead to the erroneous prediction of tumour behaviour and may alter patient management. NR4A3 genetic analysis should be considered even in the face of keratin expression and prominent stromal fibrosis.

Abstract
Background Late-onset pulmonary fistula (LOPF) is a well-described complication after segmentectomy, but the precise incidence and risk factors are still unclear. We aimed to determine the incidence of, and risk factors for, LOPF development after segmentectomy. Methods A single-institution retrospective study was performed. A total of 396 patients who underwent segmentectomy were enrolled. Perioperative data were analyzed to identify the risk factors for LOPF requiring readmission according to univariate and multivariate analyses. Results The overall morbidity rate was 19.4%. The incidence rates of prolonged air leak (PAL) in the early phase and LOPF in the late phase were 6.3% (25/396) and 4.5% (18/396), respectively. The most common surgical procedures with LOPF development were segmentectomy of the upper-division (n=6) and S6 (n=5). With a univariate analysis, presence of smoking-related diseases did not affect LOPF development (P=0.139). Conversely, segmentectomy with cranial side free space (CSFS) in the intersegmental plane and use of electrocautery to divide the intersegmental plane were associated with a high risk of LOPF development (P=0.006 and 0.009, respectively). A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that segmentectomy with CSFS in the intersegmental plane and use of electrocautery were independent risk factors for LOPF development. Approximately 80% of patients who developed LOPF recovered by prompt drainage and pleurodesis without reoperation, whereas the remaining patients developed empyema due to delayed drainage. Conclusions Segmentectomy with CSFS is an independent risk factor for LOPF development. Careful postoperative follow up and rapid treatment are necessary to avoid empyema.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors are standard therapeutic agents for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with major EGFR mutations such as exon 19 deletions and a L858R mutation, whereas treatment strategies for cases with uncommon EGFR mutations remain to be fully established. Here, we report a long-term (≥20 years from initial diagnosis) NSCLC survivor carrying EGFR L858R and L747V mutations. The patient received gefitinib monotherapy, systemic chemotherapy/chemoimmunotherapy, and local consolidative therapies for oligometastatic lesions, and responded to afatinib rechallenge with a progression-free survival of 12 months. The current case suggests that afatinib is effective in NSCLC patients with EGFR L858R and L747V mutations and that a therapeutic approach combining appropriately timed systemic therapies with local consolidative therapies for oligometastatic lesions improves long-term survival.

Abstract
Studying spin-momentum correlations in hadronic collisions offers a glimpse into a three-dimensional picture of proton structure. The transverse single-spin asymmetry for midrapidity isolated direct photons in p^{↑}+p collisions at sqrt[s]=200 GeV is measured with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Because direct photons in particular are produced from the hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force, this measurement is a clean probe of initial-state spin-momentum correlations inside the proton and is in particular sensitive to gluon interference effects within the proton. This is the first time direct photons have been used as a probe of spin-momentum correlations at RHIC. The uncertainties on the results are a 50-fold improvement with respect to those of the one prior measurement for the same observable, from the Fermilab E704 experiment. These results constrain gluon spin-momentum correlations in transversely polarized protons.

Abstract
Background For early‐stage non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgical resection is considered the most effective treatment strategy and curative treatment. Unfortunately, even after complete resection, almost half of all patients with stage I–IIIA NSCLC relapse and die. Although the possibility of a cure for postoperative recurrence of NSCLC is significantly low, the course of subsequent treatment can possibly affect overall survival (OS). Here, we examined the association of relapse‐free survival (RFS) and post‐progression survival (PPS) with OS in patients with postoperative recurrence of NSCLC. Methods We evaluated 128 patients with NSCLC who underwent complete resection between January 2007 and December 2018. The association between RFS and PPS on OS was examined at the patient level. Results Spearman's rank correlation and linear regression analyses revealed that PPS was strongly correlated with OS (r = 0.83, p < 0.05, R2 = 0.72), whereas RFS was weakly associated with OS (r = 0.56, p < 0.05, R2 = 0.37). Additionally, the performance status at relapse and administration of tyrosine kinase inhibitors were significantly correlated with PPS. Conclusions PPS was significantly more strongly correlated with OS than was RFS in patients with postoperative recurrence of NSCLC. These results suggest that therapy following postoperative recurrence affects OS. Therefore, it is necessary to validate these promising results in a large prospective study.

Abstract
Objectives Various drug‐sensitivity markers have been reported to be associated with tumor progression and chemotherapy resistance. Detailed expression profiles of sensitivity markers for cytotoxic chemotherapy in pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) remain unclear. Herein, we aimed to clarify the correlation between the expression of drug‐sensitivity markers and clinicopathological features, prognostic impact, and status of tumor immunity in patients with LCNEC. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the correlation between clinicopathological features and the expression of drug‐sensitivity‐related markers, including vascular endothelial growth factor 2 (VEGFR2), thymidylate synthase (TS), tubulin beta 3 class III (TUBB3), topoisomerase I (Topo‐I), and Topo‐II in 92 surgically resected LCNEC samples. Furthermore, we examined the prognostic significance of expression of these and their correlation with the immune cell status. Results Overall, high expression of TS, TUBB3, VEGFR2, Topo‐I, and Topo‐II was detected in 50 (54%), 31 (34%), 23 (25%), 65 (71%), and 36 (39%) samples, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that advanced pathological T and N factors, positive lymphatic permeation, and Topo‐II expression were independent unfavorable prognosticators for recurrence‐free survival, and advanced pathological T and N factors, Topo‐II positive expression, and TS positive expression were independent unfavorable prognosticators for overall survival. In terms of correlation with immune cell status, higher expression of VEGFR2 was closely linked to negative PD‐L1 expression. Conclusions These findings suggest that elevated Topo‐II and TS expression may contribute to poor outcomes through protumoral biology in patients with LCNEC, and elevated VEGFR2 expression might negatively impact tumor immune reactions in LCNEC.

Abstract
Although segmentectomy has become a routine procedure, atypical segmentectomies are less popular than their typical counterparts, probably because anatomical and surgical data are lacking. The left superior lingular S4 segment is considered relatively small, usually resected along with other segments. However, S4 segment size varies among patients, and resection of this single segment can be a valuable lung-preserving procedure in carefully selected patients with tumors located at the border of the upper division and lingular segments. We present here the anatomical and surgical features required for a methodological left S4 segmentectomy based on our experience and the literature.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) imaging is an essential tool for performing an accurate segmentectomy. However, data acquired from contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) are considered necessary when reconstructing 3D pulmonary vascular images. Therefore, 3D images are currently unavailable for patients who cannot undergo contrast-enhanced CT scans due to patient-related issues such as anaphylaxis to the contrast agent, among others. We present here our experience with atypical segmentectomies guided by 3D images reconstructed from nonenhanced CT data.

Abstract
Spontaneous pneumothorax occurring in patients with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) caused by hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is extremely rare. We report a case of spontaneous pneumothorax in a PAVM patient. A 26-year-old man with previously diagnosed HHT and multiple small PAVMs presented with chest pain and dyspnea and was referred to our hospital. Chest X-ray showed a left-sided pneumothorax. Computed tomography (CT) showed apical bullae on both sides of the upper lobe. We clarified the location of PAVMs by 3D-CT to avoid the massive bleeding caused by careless grasping of PAVMs and unintentional incomplete resection of the PAVMs during the pneumothorax surgery. Considering the risk of exacerbation, the patient underwent bullectomy of the left upper lobe. The postoperative histopathological examination indicated that the pneumothorax occurred spontaneously in the HHT patient. We should clarify the location of PAVMs to avoid bleeding caused by the grasping of PAVMs during surgery.

Abstract
Background To standardize the technical strategy for right upper lobe (RUL) segmentectomy, we previously developed simplified 3-dimensional (3D) anatomic models that classify the RUL anatomy into 14 patterns according to the branching pattern of bronchi and veins. We aimed to study the surgical outcome of RUL segmentectomy guided by these simplified anatomic models. Methods Patients were classified into the anatomic models, and the approach to the intersegmental veins was selected accordingly. The intersegmental vein and corresponding intersegmental plane were as follows: V1b (the apicoanterior plane), V2a (the apicoposterior plane), and V2c (the posteroanterior plane). Clinicopathologic characteristics and short- and long-term outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. Results Thirty-four consecutive patients who underwent thoracoscopic RUL segmentectomy guided by simplified anatomic models between January 2016 and December 2019 at Gunma University were analyzed. All the patients were classified into a model: anterior + central Iab type (47%), anterior + central Ib type (41%), anterior II type (12%), or central III type (0%). The standard approaches to intersegmental veins were an anterior approach for V1b, a posterobronchial approach for V2a, and an interlobar approach for V2c. The approach to intersegmental or intrasegmental veins was modified according to the anatomic model in 4 cases (12%). The median operative time, blood loss, and hospital stay were 222 minutes, 19 grams, and 7 days, respectively. Prolonged air leakage was observed in 1 patient. Conclusions Segmentectomy guided by simplified anatomic models promotes anatomic classification, development of a standardized approach for segmental vein identification, and acceptable outcomes, which can facilitate the implementation of RUL segmentectomy.

Abstract
Background:Biologic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) have demonstrated that proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL-) 6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) play important roles in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Other cytokines, such as type I interferons (IFNs), are also implicated in its pathogenesis (ref 1). However, the complete picture of the cytokine network involved in RA remains to be elucidated.Objectives:By quantifying sets of cytokines in the serum of RA patients before and after treatment with various biologic DMARDs, we sought to determine the effects of drugs on (A) type I IFNs, (B) soluble IL-6 receptors, and (C) other cytokines.Methods:52 patients with RA were treated with various biologic DMARDs (tocilizumab (TOC): 16, abatacept (ABT): 15, and TNF inhibitors (TNFi): 21). Serum samples were obtained (1) before, (2) approximately 4 weeks after (3) and approximately 12 weeks after the initiation of treatment. A suspension bead-array system was used for analysis; Bio-Plex Human Cytokine 17-plex Assay kits and Express Custom Panels (Bio-Rad), including IFN-β, IFN-α2, soluble IL-6 receptor α (sIL6Rα) and gp130 were used.Results:(1) As expected, the disease activity score 28-joiny count (DAS28) using the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) significantly decreased in all three groups (TOC, ABT and TNFi) by 12 weeks.(2) IFN-α2 was barely detected in the serum samples. IFN-β seemed to increase slightly in the ABT group, but the increase was not statistically significant.(3) The levels of sIL6Rα did not change substantially. Those of gp130 decreased slightly but significantly in the TOC group by 12 weeks.(4) The levels of IL-6 decreased significantly in the ABT group by 12 weeks. Those in the TNFi group decreased significantly at 4 weeks but not 12 weeks (Fig. 1A).(5) The levels of IL-7 decreased significantly only in the TOC group (Fig. 1B).Conclusion:(1) The biologic DMARDs tested in this study did not significantly affect the serum levels of type I IFNs in this study.(2) The decrease in gp130 in the TOC group may imply that gp130 is induced by IL-6, although whether this level of decrease has physiological significance is open to question.(3) Serum IL-6 was significantly decreased in the TNFi group at 4 weeks but not 12 weeks. TNF has been reported to induce IL-6 (ref 2), but negative feedback loop(s) may be present. Such a feedback system might make the discontinuation of TNFi difficult, even if patients are in remission.(4) IL-7 may be a target of IL-6. A higher level of IL-7 has been reported to be present in the joints of RA patients compared with osteoarthrosis and it is a cytokine implicated in the differentiation of osteoclasts (ref 3). This may partly explain the effect of TOC on preventing bone erosion in RA.References:[1]Ann Rheum Dis. 2007; 66: 1008–14[2]Rheumatology 2007; 46: 920-6[3]Rheumatology 2008; 47: 753-9Acknowledgments:We thank all the members of the Division of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology, Department of Medicine, Jichi Medical University.

Abstract
Recent advances in imaging technology have enhanced the detection rate of small-sized peripheral lung cancers. The present study aimed to identify the clinicopathological differences between patients with small-sized peripheral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (ADC). Patients with lung cancer who underwent radical surgical resection at Gunma University Hospital between July 2007 and October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who exhibited small-sized peripheral tumors (pathological size, ≤2 cm) located within the outer-third of the lung field on preoperative computed tomography were enrolled in the present study. A total of 26 patients were diagnosed with SCC and 214 with ADC. The results revealed that patients with SCC exhibited higher rates of pleural invasion, vascular invasion and lymphatic invasion compared with ADC patients. Additionally, the rate of postoperative recurrence was higher in patients with SCC compared with ADC patients. Patients with ADC were subsequently into two groups: Solid ADCs (sADC) and non-solid ADCs (nsADC), which included pure ground glass nodules and part-solid ADCs. The results revealed that the incidence of pleural invasion, vascular invasion and lymphatic invasion, and the rate of postoperative recurrence in patients with sADCs were similar to those with SCC, but were also significantly higher when compared with nsADC patients. The present study concluded that patients with SCC and sADC may not be suitable candidates for sublobar resection, despite exhibiting small tumors that are located in the peripheral lung.

Abstract
We report on the nuclear dependence of transverse single-spin asymmetries (TSSAs) in the production of positively charged hadrons in polarized p^{↑}+p, p^{↑}+Al, and p^{↑}+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The measurements have been performed at forward rapidity (1.4<η<2.4) over the range of transverse momentum (1.8<p_{T}<7.0 GeV/c) and Feynman x (0.1<x_{F}<0.2). We observed positive asymmetries for positively charged hadrons in p^{↑}+p collisions, and significantly reduced asymmetries in p^{↑}+A collisions. These results reveal a nuclear dependence of TSSAs for charged-hadron production in a regime where perturbative techniques are applicable. These results provide new opportunities to use p^{↑}+A collisions as a tool to investigate the rich phenomena behind TSSAs in hadronic collisions and to use TSSAs as a new handle in studying small-system collisions.

Abstract
Introduction Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) comprise several histologies of thymoma and thymic carcinomas (TCs), and TC frequently metastasizes and causes death. We therefore aimed here to identify key molecules closely related to prognosis and their biological roles in high-risk TETs, particularly TCs. Results RNA sequence analysis demonstrated that hypoxia-related genes were highly expressed in TETs. The expression of the hypoxia-related gene CA9 was noteworthy, particularly in TCs. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that CA9 was expressed in 81.0% of TCs and 20.7% of all TET samples. CA9 expression was significantly associated with Masaoka stage, WHO classification, and recurrence-free survival after tumor resection (P = 0.005). The down-regulation of CA9 transcription in TC cell lines by small interfering RNAs significantly inhibited CA9 expression, which inhibited proliferation and increased sensitivity to irradiation. Conclusions CA9 expression may serve as a significant prognostic marker of TETs and therefore represents a potential target for the development of novel drugs and radiation-sensitizing therapy designed to improve the outcomes of patients with TCs. Materials and Methods We performed comprehensive transcriptome sequencing of 23 TETs and physiologic thymic specimens to identify genes highly and specifically expressed in high-risk TETs, particulary TCs. We performed immunohistochemical analysis of 179 consecutive surgically resected TETs to evaluate the significance of the association of protein expression with clinicopathological features and prognosis. The biological significance of the most promising prognostic marker was further studied using the TC cell lines, Ty-82 and MP57.

Abstract
Asymmetric nuclear collisions of p+Al, p+Au, d+Au, and ^{3}He+Au at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV provide an excellent laboratory for understanding particle production, as well as exploring interactions among these particles after their initial creation in the collision. We present measurements of charged hadron production dN_{ch}/dη in all such collision systems over a broad pseudorapidity range and as a function of collision multiplicity. A simple wounded quark model is remarkably successful at describing the full data set. We also measure the elliptic flow v_{2} over a similarly broad pseudorapidity range. These measurements provide key constraints on models of particle emission and their translation into flow.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Since large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a relatively rare histologic type of primary lung cancer, little is known about the immunological status of patients with LCNEC. We aimed to clarify the expression and prognostic impact of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), CD8, CD4, and Forkhead box protein P3 (Foxp3) in LCNEC. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed PD-L1, CD8, CD4, and Foxp3 expressions in 95 surgically resected LCNEC. PD-L1 positive staining was determined in tumors with more than 1% of tumor cells stained to any intensity, and CD8, CD4, and Foxp3 positivity was determined in tumors with more than 5% of lymphocytes stained. RESULTS Positive expression of PD-L1, CD8, CD4, and Foxp3 was observed in 70 (74%), 52 (55%), 76 (80%), and 43 (45%) tumors, respectively. The expression of PD-L1 was significantly correlated with positive lymphatic permeation. Positive correlations were mutually observed among tumor infiltrating immune cells. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that positive pleural invasion and Foxp3 negative expression were independent unfavorable prognostic factors for overall survival (OS). Advanced pathological stage, positive pleural invasion, CD4 negative expression in cancer stroma, and Foxp3 negative expression were identified as independent unfavorable prognostic factors for recurrence free survival (RFS). CONCLUSIONS Foxp3 positive tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) were an independent favorable prognostic factor for both OS and RFS, whereas CD4 positive TILs were an independent significant unfavorable prognostic factor for RFS. The high frequency of PD-L1 expression could support the use of anti-programmed cell death 1 antibody in the treatment of LCNEC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The lung is one of the most common organs of metastasis from colorectal cancer (CRC), and we have encountered lung cancer patients with a history of CRC. There have been few studies regarding methods used to discriminate between primary lung cancer (PLC) and pulmonary metastasis from CRC (PM-CRC) based only on preoperative findings. We retrospectively investigated predictive factors discriminating between these lesions in patients with a history of CRC. METHODS Between 2006 and 2015, 117 patients with a history of CRC (44 patients with 47 PLC and 73 patients with 102 PM-CRC) underwent subsequent or concurrent resection of pulmonary lesions. We compared the clinical and radiological characteristics of 100 patients with solitary lesions (43 PLC and 57 PM-CRC). Using univariate and multivariate analyses, we examined predictive factors for discrimination of these two lesions. RESULTS All tumors with findings of ground-glass opacity (GGO) were PLC (n = 19). In a multivariate analysis of 81 radiologically solid tumors, two factors were found to be significant independent predictors of PLC: a history of stage I CRC and presence of pleural indentation. All tumors in 26 patients with either GGO or both a stage I CRC history and pleural indentation were PLC, while most tumors in patients without all three factors were PM-CRC (43/44; 97.7%). CONCLUSIONS The presence or absence of GGO, pathological CRC stage, and pleural indentation could be useful factors to distinguish between PLC and PM-CRC.

Abstract
Background Correlations between volume doubling time (VDT) of primary lung cancer (PLC), histology, and ground glass opacity (GGO) components remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare VDT of PLC in terms of histology and presence or absence of GGO components. Methods A total of 371 surgically resected PLCs from 2003 to 2015 in our institute were retrospectively reviewed. The VDT was calculated both from the diameters of the entire tumor and of consolidation by using the approximation formula of Schwartz. Results The median VDTs of adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and others (large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas, small cell lung carcinomas, pulmonary pleomorphic carcinomas, and large cell carcinomas combined) were 261, 70, and 70 days, respectively; these differ significantly (P<0.001). All PLCs with GGO were adenocarcinomas. The VDT of adenocarcinomas with GGO was significantly longer than that of those without GGO (median VDT: 725 and 177 days, respectively), squamous cell carcinomas, and others. When the VDT calculated from the maximum diameter of consolidation component was compared, adenocarcinomas with GGO also showed significantly slower growth than those without GGO (median VDT: 248 versus 177 days, respectively, P=0.040). Conclusions The VDT of PLCs is longest for adenocarcinomas. VDT was significantly longer in adenocarcinomas with GGO components than in those without such components, irrespective of VDT calculated on the basis of either the entire tumor diameter or consolidation diameter.

Abstract
This study was performed to investigate the clinical characteristics of lupus enteritis in Japanese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). A total of 481 patients with SLE admitted to our hospital between 2001 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Diagnosis of lupus enteritis was based on the following three criteria: (1) abdominal symptoms, (2) diffuse long-segment bowel thickening and (3) a requirement for glucocorticoid therapy. Lupus enteritis was identified in 17 patients (3.5%) and there were two distinct types: small intestine-dominant and large intestine-dominant. Significant differences between the two types were noted with respect to the age, frequency of biopsy-proven lupus nephritis, frequency of rectal involvement, maximum bowel wall thickness, and requirement for steroid pulse therapy. Among patients with large intestine-dominant lupus enteritis, 60% had extra-intestinal symptoms (hydroureter, bladder wall thickening, and bile duct dilatation) that are known complications of intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Two patients with large intestine-dominant lupus enteritis developed intestinal pseudo-obstruction either before or after diagnosis of lupus enteritis. Five patients (29%) developed recurrence during a median observation period of 7.2 years (1.4-14.4 years). In conclusion, large intestine-dominant lupus enteritis resembles intestinal pseudo-obstruction and these two diseases may have a common pathogenesis.

Abstract
Background Thymomas generally arise from the thymus in the anterior mediastinum. Ectopic thymomas arising in the middle mediastinum are rare. We present a case of a thymoma arising from the ectopic thymic tissue in the right paratracheal region. Case presentation The patient was a 67-year-old male who underwent an enhanced-computed tomography examination as preoperative staging for colon cancer. A 20-mm nodule in the right paratracheal region was found incidentally. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) accumulation was detected in this solitary nodule by FDG-positron emission tomography, mimicking an enlarged, possibly malignant lymph node. The tumor was removed by thoracoscopic surgery, and a postoperative pathological diagnosis of type AB thymoma was made. Foci of ectopic thymic tissues were found adjacent to the thymoma. The patient was disease-free and without recurrence 2 years postoperatively. Conclusions Including the present case, 13 cases of ectopic paratracheal thymoma have been reported in the English literature, all of which were found on the right side of the paratracheal region. Although ectopic thymomas in the paratracheal region are rare, thymomas may be considered as a differential diagnosis for a paratracheal nodule.

Abstract
Abstract
[Background] Axilla surgery in node-positive breast cancer is dramatically changing from axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) to sentinel node biopsy (SNB). From the results of ACOSOG Z0011, IBCSG23-01 and AMAROS trials, adjuvant therapy and regional node irradiation could reduce regional lymph node recurrence for sentinel node-positive breast cancer patients. However, optimal indication of SNB alone remains uncertain. Trial design: To evaluate the outcome of sentinel node-positive breast cancer patients, the Japanese Society for Sentinel Node Navigation Surgery (SNNS) conducted a prospective cohort study in 2013 (UMIN000011782, Jpn J Clin Oncol, p.876-9, 2014). [Eligibility criteria] For eligible patients, SNB was performed or scheduled after 1 January 2012. Then 1 to 3 positive micrometastases or macrometastases in sentinel lymph nodes are confirmed by histological or molecular diagnosis. Primary chemotherapy before or after SNB is also acceptable for registration. [Specific aims] The primary endpoint is the 5-year recurrence rate of regional lymph node in patients treated with SNB alone. The secondary endpoint is the 5-year overall survival rate of this cohort. Patients treated with SNB followed by ALND are also registered simultaneously to compare the prognosis. The propensity score matching (PSM) is used to make the distributions of baseline risk factors comparable. [Statistical method] Based on an estimated recurrence rate of 5% at 5 years among patients treated with SNB alone, 240 patients are needed to give a 80% power to reject the null hypothesis that the recurrence rate is 10% with a one-sided type I error rate of 2.5%. If we consider that some patients will be lost to follow-up or become ineligible, a total of 250 patients will be needed to comprise the sample. [Present accrual] Eight hundred and eighty patients who underwent SNB alone or SNB followed by ALND were registered from 27 participating institutes between 2013 and 2016. Data cleaning is being performed. Patient's background and PSM will be reported.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Pertuzumab provided overall and progression-free survival (PFS) benefits in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients (pts) in the CLEOPATRA (Clinical evaluation of docetaxel, pertuzumab and trastuzumab) study. However, few studies have described the efficacy of other drugs in combination with pertuzumab plus trastuzumab. Here, we present a pre-specified analysis of eribulin in combination with pertuzumab plus trastuzumab as first- and second-line therapy for advanced or metastatic breast cancer (AMBC) in a multicenter, open-label phase II study (UMIN000012232, JBCRG-M03).
Methods: HER2-positive AMBC with no or single prior chemotherapy for AMBC were enrolled. All pts were administered trastuzumab and taxane as adjuvant or first-line chemotherapy. Treatment consisted of eribulin 1.4 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle and trastuzumab (8 mg/kg loading dose, then 6 mg/kg) plus pertuzumab (840 mg/body loading dose, then 420 mg/ body) once every 3 weeks, all administered intravenously. The primary endpoint was PFS, and secondary endpoints included overall response rate (ORR) and safety. PFS was determined using Kaplan–Meier analysis. Tumor response was assessed according to RECIST ver. 1.1.
Results: Fifty pts were enrolled from November 2013 to April 2016. Forty-nine pts were eligible for safety analysis and the full analysis set (FAS) included 46 pts. The median age was 56 years (23–70), and 8 (16%) and 41 (84%) pts were treated in first- and second-line settings, respectively. Eleven pts (23.9%) were de-novo Stage 4, and 35 pts (76.1%) had progressed in metastatic disease after completion of local therapy. Median PFS was 9.3 months (M) (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.4–12.3). Table 1 shows the efficacy data for each treatment line and includes ORR, complete response rate (CR), partial response rate (PR), stable disease rate (SD), progressive disease rate (PD), not evaluable rate (NE) and PFS in the FAS. The median relative dose intensities of eribulin, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab were 93.3% (77.0%–100%), 100% (96.0%–100%), and 100% (89.7%–100%), respectively, in the FAS. The grade 3/4 adverse events (AE) were neutropenia in 5 pts (10.2%), including 2 pts (4.1%) with febrile neutropenia; hypertension in 3 pts (6.1%), and other AEs in only one patient. The average of the ejection fraction did not decrease significantly. Symptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction was not observed.
Conclusion: In pts with HER2-positive AMBC, first- and second-line therapy of eribulin in combination with pertuzumab plus trastuzumab demonstrated substantial antitumor activity with an acceptable safety profile. We are planning a phase III study comparing eribulin with taxanes in combination with pertuzumab plus trastuzumab for the treatment of HER2-positive AMBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Obesity and insulin resistance are associated with inferior levels of chemosensitivity and overall prognosis for breast cancer (BC) treatment. Recent studies suggest that the quality and quantity of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) play a significant role in adipocyte function, and are related to insulin resistance. We therefore tested the hypothesis that high amount and low quality of VAT worsen treatment outcomes via insulin resistance mechanisms.
Patients and Methods: We examined two independent studies: a cross-sectional study (cohort 1) and a retrospective study (cohort 2). Cohort 1 included 106 women with early-stage BC who were undergoing surgery. Patients with normal weight (17.5< body mass index [BMI, kg/m2] ≤25, n = 53) and overweight/obese patients (BMI >25, n = 53) were selected by a pair-matching method. Insulin resistance was evaluated by HOMA-R: fasting insulin (microU/L) × fasting glucose (nmol/L)/22.5. And insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family including IGF-1 and IGF-binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) were measured before beginning treatment. The amounts of visceral fat (aVAT) was measured by 3-dimensional volumetric software using the stocked computed tomography (CT) imaging data. The quality of VAT was assessed based on the mode value of CT Hounsfield Unit of VAT (VAT-HU) at navel level of CT axial view. The association between the former variables and the quality and quantity of VAT was analyzed. Cohort 2 included 271 patients who received chemotherapy in the neo-adjuvant (NAC) or adjuvant setting. Imaging analysis was performed in the same way, and the association between those values and survival outcome after chemotherapy was analyzed by retrospective chart review.
Results: In cohort 1, aVAT was significantly correlated with serum insulin and HOMA-R levels (Pearson's R 0.44 and 0.42, respectively; P<0.05). On comparing the two groups divided by BMI, the levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP3 were not significantly different between the normal weight and the overweight/obese groups (P = 0.31 and 0.77, respectively). However, the overweight/obese group demonstrated significantly higher HOMA-R (P<0.05). In cohort 2, aVAT was significantly correlated with BMI (P<0.05). In a multivariate analysis, pathological complete responses were not associated with aVAT (P = 0.60). After a median follow-up of 112 months, tertile stratification revealed that the third tertile of aVAT had a significantly shorter distant disease free survival (DDFS) in the NAC setting (p<0.05). When adjusted by covariates in the Cox proportional regression model, aVAT and VAT-HU demonstrated significant contribution to a worsened DDFS ([p<0.05, hazard ratio {HR} 1.39; 95% confidence interval {CI} 1.11 to 1.75] and [p<0.05, HR 1.20, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.43], respectively).
Conclusions: Our study found that high amounts and low quality of VAT worsen treatment outcomes. Furthermore, we found that insulin resistance was related to those two factors. Although further validation is needed, our present work suggests the importance of evaluating the quality and quantity of visceral fat for estimating insulin resistance and treatment outcomes after chemotherapy for patients with early-stage BC.

Abstract
Recently, multiparticle-correlation measurements of relativistic p/d/^{3}He+Au, p+Pb, and even p+p collisions show surprising collective signatures. Here, we present beam-energy-scan measurements of two-, four-, and six-particle angular correlations in d+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200, 62.4, 39, and 19.6 GeV. We also present measurements of two- and four-particle angular correlations in p+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. We find the four-particle cumulant to be real valued for d+Au collisions at all four energies. We also find that the four-particle cumulant in p+Au has the opposite sign as that in d+Au. Further, we find that the six-particle cumulant agrees with the four-particle cumulant in d+Au collisions at 200 GeV, indicating that nonflow effects are subdominant. These observations provide strong evidence that the correlations originate from the initial geometric configuration, which is then translated into the momentum distribution for all particles, commonly referred to as collectivity.

Abstract
During 2015, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provided collisions of transversely polarized protons with Au and Al nuclei for the first time, enabling the exploration of transverse-single-spin asymmetries with heavy nuclei. Large single-spin asymmetries in very forward neutron production have been previously observed in transversely polarized p+p collisions at RHIC, and the existing theoretical framework that was successful in describing the single-spin asymmetry in p+p collisions predicts only a moderate atomic-mass-number (A) dependence. In contrast, the asymmetries observed at RHIC in p+A collisions showed a surprisingly strong A dependence in inclusive forward neutron production. The observed asymmetry in p+Al collisions is much smaller, while the asymmetry in p+Au collisions is a factor of 3 larger in absolute value and of opposite sign. The interplay of different neutron production mechanisms is discussed as a possible explanation of the observed A dependence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Known as a microtubule-destabilizing protein, STMN1 (gene symbol: STMN1) regulates the dynamics of microtubules, cell cycle progress, and chemo-resistance against taxane agents. It is highly expressed in various human cancers and involved in cancer progression as well as poor prognosis. METHODS Expression of STMN1 was examined by immunohistochemistry using FFPE tissue sections from 186 patients with lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Analysis of STMN1 suppression was performed for STMN1 small interfering RNA (siRNA)-transfected LSCC cell lines to determine the change in proliferation, invasive and apoptosis abilities, and paclitaxel sensitivity. RESULTS The cytoplasmic STMN1 expression in LSCC was higher than in normal tissues. The high expression was significantly associated with vascular invasion (P = 0.0477) and poor prognosis. In addition, the proliferating and invasive abilities were decreased, and the apoptosis ability and paclitaxel sensitivity were increased in STMN1-suppressed LSCC cells compared with control cells. CONCLUSION The results suggest that STMN1 is a prognostic factor that also is associated with caner progression and chemo-resistance. Therefore, STMN1 could be a predictor for poor prognosis and a potential therapeutic target in LSCC.
