Abstract
We summarized the experience of surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) at a core hospital in eastern Hiroshima, which is a primary center for tertiary emergency medical care, especially for high-energy trauma cases including chest injuries. The study focuses on patients who underwent SSRF from January 2016 to September 2023, analyzing patient characteristics, injury mechanisms, associated injuries, fracture locations, time from injury to surgery, fixation devices used, and postoperative outcomes. Our hospital primarily treats elderly patients, and falls are the most common cause of injury, followed by traffic accidents. The criteria for SSRF in our hospital were clinical manifestations of flail chest, need for lung repair, persistent pain, or improvement of thoracic deformity. We had a high rate of fixation of fractures of the 4th-10th ribs, which have a significant impact on respiratory mechanics; although KANI plates were primarily used, the introduction of MatrixRIB plates offers advantages in certain scenarios. The study also identified challenges with the KANI plate, including cases of plate dislodgement, particularly in patients with multiple fractures and severe thoracic deformities. The combination of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and SSRF allows for more effective rib fixation and reduces surgical wound size and muscle damage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence and risk factors of cholelithiasis in individuals with severe or profound intellectual and motor disabilities (SPIMD) are poorly characterised. Thus, we aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk determinants of cholelithiasis in a cohort with SPIMD under medical care in a residential facility. METHODS We categorised 84 patients in a residential hospital for persons with SPIMD into groups: those with (Group CL) and without (Group N) cholelithiasis. Gallstones were detected via computed tomography, ultrasonography or both. We evaluated gastrostomy status, nutritional and respiratory support, constipation, and bladder and kidney stones. Data were significantly analysed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS The prevalence rate of cholelithiasis in our SPIMD cohort was 27%. There were no significant differences in sex, age, weight, height, or Gross Motor Function Classification System between the two groups. However, more patients received enteral nutrition (39.13% vs. 6.56%; P = 0.000751) and were on ventilator support (56.52% vs. 19.67%; P = 0.00249) in Group CL than in Group N. Enteral nutrition [odds ratio (OR) 10.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.98-54.7] and ventilator support (OR 20.0, 95% CI 1.99-201.0) were identified as independent risk factors for the prevalence of cholelithiasis in patients with SPIMD. CONCLUSIONS Patients with SPIMD demonstrated an increased prevalence of cholelithiasis, with a notable association between nutritional tonic use and respiratory support. Therefore, to emphasise the need for proactive screening, it is crucial to devise diagnostic and therapeutic strategies specific to patients with SPIMD. Further investigation is essential to validate our findings and explore causative factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To clarify the impact of central nervous system (CNS) metastasis on performance status (PS) at relapse, on subsequent treatment(s), and on survival of patients with lung adenocarcinoma harboring common epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. METHODS We conducted the multicenter real-world database study for patients with radical resections for lung adenocarcinomas between 2015 and 2018 at 21 centers in Japan. EGFR mutational status was examined at each center. RESULTS Of 4181 patients enrolled, 1431 underwent complete anatomical resection for lung adenocarcinoma harboring common EGFR mutations. Three-hundred-and-twenty patients experienced disease relapse, and 78 (24%) had CNS metastasis. CNS metastasis was significantly more frequent in patients with conventional adjuvant chemotherapy than those without (30% vs. 20%, P = 0.036). Adjuvant chemotherapy did not significantly improve relapse-free survival at any pathological stage (adjusted hazard ratio for stage IA2-3, IB, and II-III was 1.363, 1.287, and 1.004, respectively). CNS metastasis did not affect PS at relapse. Subsequent treatment, mainly consisting of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), could be equally given in patients with or without CNS metastasis (96% vs. 94%). Overall survival after relapse was equivalent between patients with and without CNS metastasis. CONCLUSION The efficacy of conventional adjuvant chemotherapy may be limited in patients with lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR mutations. CNS metastasis is likely to be found in practice before deterioration in PS, and may have little negative impact on compliance with subsequent EGFR-TKIs and survival after relapse. In this era of adjuvant TKI therapy, further prospective observational studies are desirable to elucidate the optimal management of CNS metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Life-long immunosuppressive therapy after lung transplantation (LT) may lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT). We aimed to investigate the characteristics and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing LT and requiring RRT. METHODS This study was a single-center, retrospective cohort study. The patients were divided into the RRT (n = 15) and non-RRT (n = 170) groups. We summarized the clinical features of patients in the RRT group and compared patient characteristics, overall survival, and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD)-free survival between the two groups. RESULTS The cumulative incidences of ESRD requiring RRT after LT at 5, 10, and 15 years were 0.8 %, 7.6 %, and 25.2 %, respectively. In the RRT group, all 15 patients underwent hemodialysis but not peritoneal dialysis, and two patients underwent living-donor kidney transplantation. The median follow-up period was longer in the RRT group than in the non-RRT group (P < 0.001). The CLAD-free survival and overall survival did not differ between the two groups. The 5-year survival rate even after the initiation of hemodialysis was 53.3 %, and the leading cause of death in the RRT group was infection. CONCLUSIONS Favorable long-term outcomes can be achieved by RRT for ESRD after LT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Histidine-rich glycoprotein has been reported as an anti-inflammatory glycoprotein that inhibits acute lung injury in mice with sepsis and as a prognostic biomarker in patients with sepsis. We investigated the relationship between plasma concentrations of histidine-rich glycoprotein and the risk of occurrence of primary graft dysfunction. METHODS According to the primary graft dysfunction grade at post-transplant 72 h, patients who underwent lung transplantation were divided into three groups: non-primary graft dysfunction group (grade 0-1), moderate primary graft dysfunction group (grade 2), and severe primary graft dysfunction group (grade 3). The plasma concentrations of histidine-rich glycoprotein measured daily during the first post-transplant 7 days were compared among the three groups. Appropriate cutoff values of the concentrations were set for survival analyses after lung transplantation. RESULTS A total of 68 patients were included. The plasma histidine-rich glycoprotein concentration at post-transplant 72 h was significantly lower in the severe primary graft dysfunction group (n = 7) than in the other two groups [non-primary graft dysfunction group (n = 43), P = 0.042; moderate primary graft dysfunction group (n = 18), P = 0.040]. Patients with plasma histidine-rich glycoprotein concentration ≥34.4 µg/ml at post-transplant 72 h had significantly better chronic lung allograft dysfunction-free survival (P = 0.012) and overall survival (P = 0.037) than those with the concentration <34.4 µg/ml. CONCLUSIONS Plasma histidine-rich glycoprotein concentrations at post-transplant 72 h might be associated with the risk of development of primary graft dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No proven treatment after the development of primary graft dysfunction (PGD) is currently available. Here, we established a novel strategy of in vivo lung perfusion (IVLP) for the treatment of PGD. IVLP involves the application of an in vivo isolated perfusion circuit to an implanted lung. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of IVLP vs conventional post-lung transplant (LTx) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment using an experimental swine LTx PGD model. METHODS After 1.5-hour warm ischemia of the donor lungs, a left LTx was performed. Following the confirmation of PGD development, pigs were divided into 3 groups (n = 5 each): control (no intervention), ECMO, and IVLP. After 2 hours of treatment, a 4-hour functional assessment was conducted, and samples were obtained. RESULTS Significantly better oxygenation was achieved in the IVLP group (p ≤ 0.001). Recovery was confirmed immediately and maintained during the following 4-hour observation. The IVLP group also demonstrated better lung compliance than the control group (p = 0.045). A histologic evaluation showed that the lung injury score and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling assay showed significantly fewer injuries and a better result in the wet-to-dry weight ratio in the IVLP group. CONCLUSIONS A 2-hour IVLP is technically feasible and allows for prompt recovery from PGD after LTx. The posttransplant short-duration IVLP strategy can complement or overcome the limitations of the current practice for donor assessment and PGD management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is a rare vascular anomaly with the potential for serious complications, such as rupture leading to hemothorax or hemoptysis. Although bronchial artery embolization (BAE) is recognized as an effective intervention for ruptured BAA, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of associated hemothorax. CASE PRESENTATION A 73-year-old woman presented with a mediastinal hematoma from a ruptured BAA, causing bilateral hemothorax. Emergency angiography revealed a saccular BAA that was successfully embolized using a microcatheter and coil. Subsequent computed tomography revealed an expanding hemothorax managed by VATS, with 1400 mL of blood drained. During VATS, thoracoscopy revealed pulmonary ligament rupture, which was attributed to increased intramediastinal pressure. The patient was discharged eight days postoperatively with no complications. This case highlights the use of BAE and VATS in the management of mediastinal BAA rupture and massive hemothorax. CONCLUSIONS BAE proved to be an effective strategy for the management of ruptured mediastinal BAAs. VATS is a valuable standby procedure for hematoma removal, but the indication should be carefully determined because of the risk of BAA re-rupture.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although the performance lung transplantation (LTx) in the elderly (≥ 60 years) has increased globally, the situation in Japan remains quite different, because the age limit at registration for cadaveric transplantation is 60 years. We investigated the long-term outcomes of LTx in the elderly in Japan. METHODS This was a single-center retrospective study. We divided the patients into two groups according to age: the younger group (< 60 years; Y group; n = 194) and the elderly group (≥ 60 years; E group; n = 10). We performed three-to-one propensity score matching to compare the long-term survival between the E and Y groups. RESULTS In the E group, the survival rate was significantly worse (p = 0.003), and single-LTx was more frequent (p = 0.036). There was a significant difference in the indications for LTx between the two groups (p < 0.001). The 5-year survival rate after single-LTx in the E group was significantly lower than that in the Y group (p = 0.006). After propensity score matching, the 5-year survival rates of the two groups were comparable (p = 0.55). However, the 5-year survival rate after single-LTx in the E group was significantly lower than that in the Y group (p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Elderly patients showed acceptable long-term survival after LTx.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) as a bridge to lung transplantation is an uncommon strategy in Japan owing to the severe donor shortage and absence of urgent allocation policy. Moreover, the use of veno-venous (VV) ECMO for immunosuppressed patients is controversial; thus, applying ECMO to patients who await lung re-transplantation is challenging. CASE PRESENTATION A 16-year-old lung transplant recipient with grade 3 bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome was waitlisted for lung re-transplantation. Eleven months later, he fell into severe respiratory acidosis with hypercapnia, which were not resolved with mechanical ventilation. VV ECMO was introduced to minimize lung stress and strain. Tracheostomy was additionally performed on day 5 after the start of ECMO, and respiratory condition swiftly improved; hence, the weaning process from VV ECMO began on day 9. Rehabilitation became implementable, and bilateral re-lung transplantation was successfully performed 6 months after the ECMO treatment. No critical complication related to the precedent use of ECMO was noted. CONCLUSIONS VV ECMO can be a feasible treatment option even for lung transplant candidates awaiting re-transplantation for a prolonged period. Introduction of ECMO and tracheostomy in the early deterioration stage may be crucial to successful subsequent patient management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION B3 downward-shifting is a rare bronchial anomaly characterized by abnormal pulmonary arteries associated with downward displacement of B3 and complete fusion between the right upper and middle lobes. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of robot-assisted thoracoscopic right upper lobectomy in a patient with lung cancer with B3 downward-shifting. An 81-year-old male was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer in S3 of the right upper lung. Preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography angiography revealed a B3 bronchus derived from the middle lobe bronchus and an anterior segmental pulmonary artery variation. Robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery right upper lobectomy with ND2a-1 was performed via four-port incisions and an assist incision. No interlobar fissure was observed between the right upper and middle lobes. After dissecting B1+2, the displaced B3 root was dissected. The displaced A3a was difficult to dissect because of an extremely severe complete fissure. Therefore, we dissected the bronchus preceding from the cranial side. To confirm a minor fissure, indocyanine green was administered intravenously, and the interlobar boundary was identified as the line separating the dark and green lung parenchyma. The boundary was divided using mechanical staples. No surgical complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS Using three-dimensional reconstruction imaging and systemic indocyanine green administration, we successfully performed a right upper lobectomy through robot-assisted thoracic surgery.

Abstract
Renal dysfunction is a long-term complication associated with an increased mortality after lung transplantation (LT). We investigated the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the development of renal dysfunction after LT using a Japanese-specific SNP array. First, eligible samples of 34 LT recipients were genotyped using the SNP array and divided into two groups, according to the presence of homozygous and heterozygous combinations of mutant alleles of the 162 renal-related SNPs. To identify candidate SNPs, the renal function tests were compared between the two groups for each SNP. Next, we investigated the association between the candidate SNPs and the time course of changes of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the 99 recipients until 10 years after the LT. ΔeGFR was defined as the difference between the postoperative and preoperative eGFR values. Eight SNPs were identified as the candidate SNPs in the 34 recipients. Validation analysis of these 8 candidate SNPs in all the 99 recipients showed that three SNPs, namely, rs10277115, rs4690095, and rs792064, were associated with significant changes of the ΔeGFR. Pre-transplant identification of high-risk patients for the development of renal dysfunction after LT based on the presence of these SNPs might contribute to providing personalized medicine.

Abstract
Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis have been shown to be associated with the development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) after lung transplantation (LT). We investigated the role of circulating miRNAs in the diagnosis of CLAD after bilateral LT, including cadaveric LT (CLT) and living-donor lobar LT (LDLLT). Methods The subjects of this retrospective study were 37 recipients of bilateral CLT (n = 23) and LDLLT (n = 14), and they were divided into a non-CLAD group (n = 24) and a CLAD group (n = 13). The plasma miRNA levels of the two groups were compared, and correlations between their miRNAs levels and percent baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and total lung capacity (TLC) values were calculated from one year before to one year after the diagnosis of CLAD. Results The plasma levels of both miR-21 and miR-155 at the time of the diagnosis of CLAD were significantly higher in the CLAD group than in the non-CLAD group (miR-21, P = 0.0013; miR-155, P = 0.042). The miR-21 levels were significantly correlated with the percent baseline FEV1, FVC, and TLC value of one year before and at the time of diagnosis of CLAD (P < 0.05). A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the performance of miR-21 levels in the diagnosis of CLAD yielded an area under the curve of 0.89. Conclusion Circulating miR-21 appears to be of potential value in diagnosing CLAD after bilateral LT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prognostic nutrition index (PNI), calculated using serum albumin and total lymphocyte count, is a recent topical index related to inflammation. Preoperative PNI is regarded as a new preoperative prognostic score in lung transplantation (LTx). This study aimed to investigate the impact of PNI at the time of registration as a prognostic parameter of mortality on the waiting list for LTx. METHODS A retrospective review was conducted on the data of 132 adult patients registered for LTx in our department between January 2013 and June 2020. Patients who finally received LTx were analyzed as censored data. The overall survival was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method for pre-registered clinical factors including the PNI at the time of registration. Overall survival was calculated from the date of listing to the Japan Organ Transplant Network to the date of death. RESULTS The low-PNI group had a significantly worse prognosis. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that age (p = 0.023), idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (p < 0.001), lung allocation score (LAS) (p < 0.001), and PNI (p < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors for waitlist mortality. CONCLUSIONS PNI at the time of registration can be an independent prognostic parameter in registered candidates for LTx.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soft-tissue sarcomas are rare malignancies that consist of many different histologic subtypes and arise in various locations in the body. In patients with lung metastases from retroperitoneal sarcomas, the long-term outcomes and prognostic factors are unknown. This study is a retrospective review of patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy for retroperitoneal sarcoma metastases at one institution, with the purpose of determining prognostic factors and clinical outcomes. METHODS This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing pulmonary metastasectomy for lung metastases from various sarcomas at Okayama University Hospital from January 2006 to December 2018. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for the analyses, and cut-off values of continuous variables were determined by a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS Twenty-four patients underwent the first pulmonary metastasectomy for lung metastases from retroperitoneal sarcoma in our hospital. Leiomyosarcoma was the most common histologic subtype of retroperitoneal sarcoma (79.2%, n = 19). Median overall survival was 49.9 months, and the 3-year and 5-year survival rates after the first pulmonary metastasectomy were 62.5% and 26.4% respectively. In univariate analysis, age ≥56 years, disease-free interval < 15 months, and size of metastasis (≥ 27 mm) were associated with poor survival. CONCLUSION Pulmonary metastasectomy can be considered as an effective management strategy in retroperitoneal sarcoma patients with lung metastases in appropriately selected cases, just as it is for other sarcomas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We herein review the outcomes of paediatric lung transplantation (LTx) and analyse subgroups divided by age. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 43 consecutive paediatric LTx recipients (< 18 years old: cadaveric LTx [n = 9], living-donor lobar LTx [n = 34]). We also analysed subgroups of patients 1-6 years old (n = 10) and 7-17 years old (n = 33). RESULTS The 1-, 5- and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates in paediatric recipients were 93%, 82% and 67%, respectively. The 1-, 5- and 10-year graft dysfunction (GD)-free survival rates in paediatric recipients were 85%, 59% and 31%, respectively. The 1- and 5-year OS in the 1- to 6-year-old vs. 7- to 17-year-old groups were 70% vs. 100% and 48% vs. 93%, respectively (p < 0.0001). The 1- and 5-year GD-free survival rates in the 1- to 6-year-old vs. 7- to 17-year-old groups were 60% vs. 93% and 24% vs. 69%, respectively (p = 0.024). The 1- to 6-year-old group showed higher rates of non-standard LTx (p = 0.0001), interstitial pneumonia (p = 0.004) and ventilator dependency (p = 0.007) than the 7- to 17-year-old group. CONCLUSION Paediatric recipients under 7 years old seemed to have a higher risk of mortality and GD than those 7 years old and older.

Abstract
Lung transplant recipients are often complicated by immunosuppressant-induced nephropathy, which may require renal replacement therapy. We report a case of unilateral lung edema and pulmonary hypertension due to arteriovenous fistula placement in a patient with unilateral chronic lung allograft dysfunction after bilateral living-donor lobar lung transplantation. Lung transplant recipients with limited residual vascular beds, such as lobar graft or severe deviation in lung perfusion, are vulnerable to the acute increase in blood flow due to arteriovenous fistula placement and can easily develop pulmonary edema regardless of the left ventricular function. Hence, careful volume control is required.

Abstract
PURPOSE Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a major complication of lung transplantation (LTx). However, few studies on PTLD in Asian populations have been reported. We explored the characteristics of Japanese PTLD cases after LTx. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 195 cases of LTx at our institute. We summarized the clinical experiences of 7 PTLD cases and analyzed the patient characteristics and survival outcomes of patients with (n = 7) and without (n = 188) PTLD. RESULTS All PTLD patients were taking corticosteroids preoperatively (p = 0.0030), and the duration of preoperative corticosteroid therapy was significantly longer in the PTLD group (p = 0.0064) than in the non-PTLD group. The overall survival after LTx was significantly worse in the PTLD group (p = 0.027) than in the non-PLTD group. Among the three patients who died within 1 year after the PTLD onset, two died of opportunistic infections without residual PTLD lesions. Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) or bronchiolitis obliterans at an autopsy were diagnosed after PTLD treatment in four cases. CONCLUSIONS Long-term preoperative corticosteroid therapy may be a risk factor for PTLD after LTx. Opportunistic infections are lethal complications of PTLD, regardless of the effectiveness of PTLD treatment. CLAD occurs at a high rate after PTLD treatment, and close monitoring is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a rare polyclonal lymphoproliferative disease caused by the overrepresentation of interleukin-6 (IL-6). Tocilizumab (TCZ) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to the IL-6 receptor and is approved for the treatment of iMCD. The efficacy and tolerability of TCZ in patients with iMCD undergoing lung transplantation (LTx) remain unknown. CASE PRESENTATION We present the case of a 48-year-old iMCD patient with end-stage lung disease (ESLD) who was successfully treated with cadaveric single-LTx. Intravenous TCZ was used to stabilize the iMCD patient every 2 weeks, except for withdrawal immediately after LTx. At 32 month post-transplant, the patient remained asymptomatic without evidence of rejection, development of de novo donor-specific antibody (DSA), and recurrent iMCD in the native lung. CONCLUSIONS Single-LTx can be a feasible treatment option for ESLD caused by iMCD. TCZ can be used safely and may be beneficial in recipients with iMCD, and TCZ in combination with usual immunosuppression can be helpful in stabilizing iMCD patients pre- and post-LTx.

Abstract
Hyper-immunoglobulin E syndrome (HIES) is one of the primary immunodeficiencies characterized by recurrent staphylococcal skin and lung infections that result in lung destruction and critically diminished pulmonary function. Despite the lack of definitive treatment, there have been no reports of successful lung transplantation (LTx) for HIES patients. We report the case of a 42-year-old female HIES patient with progressive bronchiectasis whose pulmonary infection was controlled prior to transplantation and subsequent LTx was uneventful. LTx may be feasible in HIES if the patient is immunologically stable preoperatively, and peri-operative infections, especially Aspergillus infections, are well-controlled.

Abstract
PURPOSE The number of elderly patients who undergo surgery is increasing, even though they are at a high risk due to a decreased physical strength. Furthermore, sarcopenia is generally associated with a poor prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS This study included NSCLC patients ≥ 65 years old who underwent pulmonary resection in our hospital between 2012 and 2015. Sarcopenia was assessed using the psoas muscle mass index based on computed tomography at the level of the third lumbar vertebra. We elucidated the impact of sarcopenia on short- and long-term outcomes after surgery. RESULTS We enrolled 259 patients, including 179 with sarcopenia. Patients with sarcopenia before surgery tended to have postoperative complications (p = 0.0521), although they did not show a poor prognosis. In patients with sarcopenia, a multivariate analysis revealed that postoperative complications and the progression of sarcopenia 1 year after surgery were significant risk factors for a poor prognosis (p = 0.0169 and 0.00370, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The progression of sarcopenia after surgery is associated with a poor prognosis in elderly NSCLC patients with sarcopenia. A strategy to prevent postoperative progressive sarcopenia may be necessary for improving the clinical outcome of this population.

Abstract
Chest wall resection is traditionally performed via open thoracotomy, a procedure that increases surgical morbidity and reduces postoperative quality of life. Conversely, thoracoscopic chest wall resection may minimize invasiveness but the optimal procedure remains uncertain. We previously reported rib resection using a pneumatic high-speed power drill during video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for selected lung cancer patients. In this report, we present two cases of chest wall tumor resected using the drill via the thoracoscopic approach. We also report thoracoscopic chest wall reconstruction in one patient using a patch sheet.

Abstract
The presence of abnormalities in emotional decision-making and reward processing among bipolar patients (BP) has been well rehearsed. These disturbances are not limited to acute phases and are common even during remission. In recent years, the existence of discrete cognitive profiles in this psychiatric population has been replicated. However, emotional decision making and reward processing domains have barely been studied. Therefore, our aim was to explore the existence of different profiles on the aforementioned cognitive dimensions in BP. The sample consisted of 126 euthymic BP. Main sociodemographic, clinical, functioning, and neurocognitive variables were gathered. A hierarchical-clustering technique was used to identify discrete neurocognitive profiles based on the performance in the Iowa Gambling Task. Afterward, the resulting clusters were compared using ANOVA or Chi-squared Test, as appropriate. Evidence for the existence of three different profiles was provided. Cluster 1 was mainly characterized by poor decision ability. Cluster 2 presented the lowest sensitivity to punishment. Finally, cluster 3 presented the best decision-making ability and the highest levels of punishment sensitivity. Comparison between the three clusters indicated that cluster 2 was the most functionally impaired group. The poorest outcomes in attention, executive function domains, and social cognition were also observed within the same group. In conclusion, similarly to that observed in "cold cognitive" domains, our results suggest the existence of three discrete cognitive profiles concerning emotional decision making and reward processing. Amongst all the indexes explored, low punishment sensitivity emerge as a potential correlate of poorer cognitive and functional outcomes in bipolar disorder.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to examine the heterogeneity of psychosocial outcomes in euthymic bipolar disorder (BD) patients and analyse the potential influence of distinct variables on functioning. METHOD Using a hierarchical cluster exploratory analysis, 143 euthymic patients with diagnosis of BD were grouped according to their functional performance based on domains scores of the Functioning Assessment Short Test (FAST). The resulting groups were compared on sociodemographic, clinical and neurocognitive variables to find factors associated with each functional cluster. RESULTS Patients were grouped in three functional profiles: patients with good functioning in all the FAST areas, patients with an intermediate profile showing great difficulties in the occupational domain and milder difficulties in most of the rest domains, and a third group with serious difficulties in almost all functional areas. Both functionally impaired groups were characterized by higher subthreshold symptoms (depressive and manic) and higher unemployment rates. The most functionally impaired group also showed lower scores on some measures of processing speed. CONCLUSION Two of three functional profiles showed some kind of impairment which was associated with subsyndromal symptoms and cognitive performance. These patterns should be taken into consideration to develop more individualized interventions to restore, or improve, psychosocial outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive symptoms in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) are persistent and commonly entail neurocognitive impairment and a decline in quality of life. This systematic review gathers the current scientific evidence on therapeutic strategies for neuropsychological impairment in MDD. METHOD A systematic search on PubMed, PsycINFO and Clinicaltrials.gov was carried out on December 2016 according to PRISMA using Boolean terms to identify interventions for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in MDD. Only English-written articles providing original data and focusing in adults with MDD were included with no time restrictions. RESULTS A total of 95 studies reporting data on 40 pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions were included. Interventions were grouped into the following categories: 1) Pharmacological Therapies (antidepressants, stimulants, compounds acting on NMDA receptors, compounds acting on the cholinergic system, compounds showing anti-inflammatory or antioxidant properties, other mechanisms of action), 2) Physical Therapies and 3) Psychological Therapies, 4) Exercise. There are some promising compounds showing a positive impact on cognitive symptoms including vortioxetine, lisdexamfetamine or erythropoietin. LIMITATIONS The studies included showed significant methodological differences in heterogeneous samples. The lack of a standardized neuropsychological battery makes comparisons between studies difficult. CONCLUSION Current evidence is not sufficient to widely recommend the use of procognitive treatments in MDD although promising results are coming to light.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-28A/interferon (IFN)-λ2 and IL-29/IFN-λ1 have been demonstrated to elicit direct and indirect anti-tumor actions. In this study, we constructed an adenovirus vector expressing either IL-28A/IFN-λ2 (AdIL-28A) or IL-29/IFN-λ1 (AdIL-29) to evaluate the therapeutic properties of intratumoral injection of recombinant adenovirus to apply for the clinical implementation of cancer gene therapy. Despite the lack of an anti-proliferative effect on MCA205 and B16-F10 cells, a retarded growth of established subcutaneous tumors was observed following multiple injections of either AdIL-28A or AdIL-29 when compared with AdNull. In vivo cell depletion experiments displayed that both NK cells and CD8(+) T cells have a major role in AdIL-28A-mediated tumor growth suppression. A significant increase in the number of infiltrating CD8(+) T cells into the tumors treated with either AdIL-28A or AdIL-29 was observed. Moreover, specific anti-tumor cytotoxic T lymphocyte reactivity was detected in spleen cells from animals treated with either AdIL-28A or AdIL-29. In IFN-γ-deficient mice, anti-tumor activities of AdIL-28A were completely impaired, indicating that IFN-γ is critically involved in the tumor growth inhibition triggered by AdIL-28A. IL-12 provided a synergistic anti-tumor effect when combined with AdIL-28A. These results indicate that AdIL-28A and AdIL-29 could be successfully utilized as an alternative cancer immunogene therapy.

Abstract
Intraneural perineurioma is an extremely rare condition characterized by perineurial cell proliferation within peripheral nerve (PN) sheaths. In the veterinary field, this entity has been reported only in a dog. We examined multiple enlargements of PNs in 11 chickens ( Gallus gallus domesticus) (9 Japanese bantams and 2 specific pathogen-free White Leghorn), which were inoculated with an avian leukosis virus (ALV) causing so-called fowl glioma. All chickens clinically exhibited progressive leg paralysis. Lumbosacral plexus, brachial plexus, and/or spinal ganglion were commonly affected, and these nerves contained a diffuse proliferation of spindle cells arranged concentrically in characteristic onion bulb-like structures surrounded by residual axons and myelin sheaths. The spindle cells were immunohistochemically negative for S-100α/β protein. Electron microscopy revealed that these cells were characterized by short bipolar cytoplasmic processes, occasional cytoplasmic pinocytotic vesicles, and discontinuous basal laminae. These features are consistent with those of intraneural perineurioma. Furthermore, the specific sequence of the ALV was detected in the PN lesions of 8/11 (73%) birds by polymerase chain reaction. These results indicate that the multiple intraneural perineuriomas of chicken may be associated with the ALV-A causing fowl glioma.

Abstract
To control the efficiency of photoinduced charge-order melting in perovskite manganites, we performed femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy using double-pulse excitation on Pr_{0.6}Ca_{0.4}MnO_{3}. The results revealed that the transfer of the spectral weight from the near-infrared to infrared region by the second pump pulse is considerably enhanced by the first pump pulse and that the suppression of crystal anisotropy, that is, the decrease of long-range lattice deformations due to the charge order by the first pump pulse is a key factor to enhance the charge-order melting. This double-pulse excitation method can be applied to various photoinduced transitions in complex materials with electronic and structural instabilities.

Abstract
We report peculiar momentum-dependent anisotropy in the superconducting gap observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in BaFe2(As1-xPx)2 (x = 0.30, Tc = 30 K). Strongly anisotropic gap has been found only in the electron Fermi surface while the gap on the entire hole Fermi surfaces are nearly isotropic. These results are inconsistent with horizontal nodes but are consistent with modified s± gap with nodal loops. We have shown that the complicated gap modulation can be theoretically reproduced by considering both spin and orbital fluctuations.

Abstract
In high-transition-temperature superconducting cuprates and iron arsenides, chemical doping plays an important role in inducing superconductivity. Whereas in the cuprate case, the dominant role of doping is to inject charge carriers, the role for the iron arsenides is complex owing to carrier multiplicity and the diversity of doping. Here, we present a comparative study of the in-plane resistivity and the optical spectrum of doped BaFe2As2, which allows for separation of coherent (itinerant) and incoherent (highly dissipative) charge dynamics. The coherence of the system is controlled by doping, and the doping evolution of the charge dynamics exhibits a distinct difference between electron and hole doping. It is found in common with any type of doping that superconductivity with high transition temperature emerges when the normal-state charge dynamics maintains incoherence and when the resistivity associated with the coherent channel exhibits dominant temperature-linear dependence.

Abstract
Electronic orderings of charges, orbitals and spins are observed in many strongly correlated electron materials, and revealing their dynamics is a critical step toward undertsanding the underlying physics of important emergent phenomena. Here we use time-resolved resonant soft x-ray scattering spectroscopy to probe the dynamics of antiferromagnetic spin ordering in the manganite Pr₀.₇Ca₀.₃MnO₃ following ultrafast photo-exitation. Our studies reveal a glass-like recovery of the spin ordering and a crossover in the dimensionality of the restoring interaction from quasi-1D at low pump fluence to 3D at high pump fluence. This behavior arises from the metastable state created by photo-excitation, a state characterized by spin disordered metallic droplets within the larger charge- and spin-ordered insulating domains. Comparison with time-resolved resistivity measurements suggests that the collapse of spin ordering is correlated with the insulator-to-metal transition, but the recovery of the insulating phase does not depend on the re-establishment of the spin ordering.

Abstract
Electron correlation often produces a variety of electrically insulating states caused by self-organization of electrons, which are particularly stable at commensurate fillings. Although collapsing such ordered states by minute external stimuli has been a key strategy toward device applications, it is difficult to access their true electronic phase boundaries due to the necessity of fine-tuning of material parameters. Here, we demonstrate the ambipolar resistance switching in Pr(1-x)Sr(x)MnO3 thin films (x = 0.5; an effectively 1/4-filled state) by quasi-continuous control of the doping level x and band-width W using gate-voltage and magnetic field, enabled by the extreme electric-field formed at the nanoscale interface generated in an electrolyte-gated transistor. An electroresistance peak with unprecedented steepness emerges on approaching a critical point in the x-W phase diagram. The technique opens a new route to Mott-insulator based transistors and to discovering singularities hitherto unnoticed in conventional bulk studies of strongly correlated electron systems.

Abstract
We investigated the in-plane resistivity anisotropy for underdoped Ba(Fe(1-x)Co(x))(2)As(2) single crystals with improved quality. We demonstrate that the anisotropy in resistivity in the magnetostructural ordered phase arises from the anisotropy in the residual component which increases in proportion to the Co concentration x. This gives evidence that the anisotropy originates from the impurity scattering by Co atoms substituted for the Fe sites, rather than the so far proposed mechanisms such as the anisotropy of Fermi velocities of reconstructed Fermi surface pockets. As doping proceeds to the paramagnetic-tetragonal phase, a Co impurity transforms to a weak and isotropic scattering center.

Abstract
In order to examine to what extent the rigid-band-like electron doping scenario is applicable to the transition metal-substituted Fe-based superconductors, we have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy studies of Ba(Fe(1-x)Ni(x))(2)As(2) (Ni-122) and Ba(Fe(1-x)Cu(x))(2)As(2) (Cu-122), and compared the results with Ba(Fe(1-x)Co(x))(2)As(2) (Co-122). We find that Ni 3d-derived features are formed below the Fe 3d band and that Cu 3d-derived ones further below it. The electron and hole Fermi surface (FS) volumes are found to increase and decrease with substitution, respectively, qualitatively consistent with the rigid-band model. However, the total extra electron number estimated from the FS volumes (the total electron FS volume minus the total hole FS volume) is found to decrease in going from Co-, Ni-, to Cu-122 for a fixed nominal extra electron number, that is, the number of electrons that participate in the formation of FS decreases with increasing impurity potential. We find that the Néel temperature T(N) and the critical temperature T(c) maximum are determined by the FS volumes rather than the nominal extra electron concentration or the substituted atom concentration.

Abstract
We investigate the anisotropy in the in-plane optical spectra of detwinned Ba(Fe(1-x)Co(x))(2)As(2). The optical conductivity spectrum of BaFe(2)As(2) shows appreciable anisotropy in the magnetostructural ordered phase, whereas the dc (ω = 0) resistivity is nearly isotropic at low temperatures. Upon Co doping, the resistivity becomes highly anisotropic, while the finite-energy intrinsic anisotropy is suppressed. It is found that anisotropy in resistivity arises from anisotropic impurity scattering due to the presence of doped Co atoms, and it is extrinsic in origin. The intensity of a specific optical phonon mode is also found to show striking anisotropy in the ordered phase. The anisotropy induced by the Co impurity and that observed in the optical phonon mode are hallmarks of the highly polarizable electronic state in the ordered phase.

Abstract
We investigated the interactions in the KOC-2s human ovarian cancer cells on the effect of glucocorticoids, and sex steroid hormones in ovarian carcinomas. At 10(-8) M to 10(-5) M, dexamethasone (Dex) decreased the number of cells by 75-80% (p<0.001). At 10(-8) M and 10(-7) M, hydrocortisone (HC) decreased the number by 50% (p<0.01); at 10(-6) M and 10(-5) M, the decrease in number of cells was 65%. The E-2 decrease in number was not statistically significant. Progesterone (PG) showed at 10(-8) to 10(-6) M an increase in number of cells, however, at 10(-5) M it was decreased by 70% with a significant difference (p<0.001). Dex (10(-8)-10(-5) M), HC (10(-8)-10(-5) M) and PG (10(-5) M) produced internucleosomal cleavage of DNA into fragments with multiples of 180 to 200 bp. The TNF-alpha with addition of Dex (10(-8)-10(-5) M) and HC (10(-8)-10(-5) M) was increased after 24 h, 48 h (p<0.001); however, gradually decrease after 72 h. When PG (10(-8)-10(-5) M) was added, PG (10(-5) M) increased the secretion of TNF-alpha after 72 h. Our findings demonstrate that glucocorticoids, and PG directly induce apoptotic DNA fragmentation of KOC-2s cells. However, the secretion of TNF-alpha and expression of Fas antigen were totally different in these substances. These data provide a basis for future studies on the mechanisms of apoptotic effect of glucocorticoids, and PG and the therapeutic effects of these substances.

Abstract
We have determined the full magnetic dispersion relations of multiferroic BiFeO3. In particular, two excitation gaps originating from magnetic anisotropies have been clearly observed. The direct observation of the gaps enables us to accurately determine the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction and the single ion anisotropy. The DM interaction supports a sizable magnetoelectric coupling in this compound.
