Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is characterized by dyspnoea on exertion and exercise-induced hypoxaemia. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy reduces the respiratory workload through higher gas flow and oxygen supplementation, which may affect exercise tolerance. This study aimed to examine the effects of oxygen and gas flow rates through HFNC therapy on exercise tolerance in ILD patients. METHODS We conducted three-treatment crossover study. All ILD patients performed the exercises on room air (ROOM AIR setting: flow, 0 L/min; fraction of inspired oxygen [FiO2], 0.21), HFNC (FLOW setting: flow 40 L/min, FiO2 0.21), and HFNC with oxygen supplementation (FLOW + OXYGEN setting: flow 40 L/min, FiO2 0.6). The primary endpoint was the endurance time, measured using constant-load cycle ergometry exercise testing at a peak work rate of 80%. RESULTS Twenty-five participants (10 men, 71.2 ± 6.7 years) were enrolled. The increase in exercise duration between the ROOM AIR and FLOW was 46.3 s (95% CI, -6.1 to 98.7; p = 0.083), and the FLOW and FLOW + OXYGEN was 91.5 s (39.1-143.9; p < 0.001). The percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) at rest was significantly higher with the FLOW + OXYGEN setting than with the ROOM AIR and FLOW settings, and the difference persisted during exercise. At equivalent time points during exercise, the SpO2 with the FLOW setting was significantly higher than that with the ROOM AIR setting. CONCLUSION Oxygen supplementation in HFNC therapy improved exercise tolerance and SpO2. We found that gas flow alone did not improve exercise tolerance, but improved SpO2 during exercise.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung resection is the standard of care for patients with clinical stage I/II non-small cell lung cancer. This surgery reduces both the duration and quality of patients' daily ambulatory activities 1 month after surgery. However, little is known about physical activity after lung resection in patients with lung cancer. To evaluate the recovery process of physical activity with pulmonary rehabilitation in patients after lung resection and examine whether physical activity is affected by age. METHODS In this prospective, observational study, we measured and analysed participants' postoperative physical activity using a uniaxial accelerometer daily from postoperative day 1 to 30. FINDINGS We analysed 99 patients who underwent thoracic surgery. The number of walking steps significantly increased until day 4 and then reached a plateau thereafter. The duration of exercise at <3 metabolic equivalents significantly increased until day 3, and no significant difference was observed thereafter. Exercise at >3 metabolic equivalents significantly increased until day 4 and reached a plateau thereafter. A significant correlation was observed between age and number of steps after day 4. Compared with video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, thoracotomy significantly decreased the number of steps from day 3 to 4. INTERPRETATION We found that the level of physical activity varied by index in patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent lung resection. Age and surgical procedure affect different periods with the increase in post-operative walking steps.

Abstract
Purpose Assessment for frailty is important as it enables timely intervention to prevent or delay poor prognosis in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aims of this study, in a sample of outpatients with COPD, were to (i) assess the prevalence of physical frailty using the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study (J-CHS) criteria and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and the degree of agreement between the findings of the two assessments and (ii) identify factors associated with the disparity in the results obtained with these instruments. Patients and Methods This was a multicenter cross-sectional study of individuals with stable COPD enrolled in four institutions. Frailty was assessed using the J-CHS criteria and the SPPB. Weighted Cohen's kappa (k) statistic was performed to investigate the magnitude of agreement between the instruments. We divided participants into two groups depending on whether there was agreement or non-agreement between the results of the two frailty assessments. The two groups were then compared with respect to their clinical data. Results A total of 103 participants (81 male) were included in the analysis. The median age and FEV1 (%predicted) were 77 years and 62%, respectively. The prevalence of frailty and pre-frail was 21% and 56% with the J-CHS criteria and 10% and 17% with the SPPB. The degree of agreement was fair (k = 0.36 [95% CI: 0.22-0.50], P<0.001). There were no significant differences in the clinical characteristics between the agreement group (n = 44) and the non-agreement group (n = 59). Conclusion We showed that the degree of agreement was fair with the J-CHS criteria detecting a higher prevalence than the SPPB. Our findings suggest that the J-CHS criteria may be useful in people with COPD with the aim of providing interventions to reverse frailty in the early stages.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the factors that influence walking ability in patients hospitalized due to aspiration pneumonia. METHODS This retrospective observational study evaluated patients hospitalized with aspiration pneumonia. The primary endpoint was preservation of walking ability. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed with the preservation of walking ability as the dependent variable. RESULTS A total of 143 patients were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into two groups: those whose walking ability decreased after hospitalization (n = 61) and those whose walking ability was maintained after hospitalization (n = 82). Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that A-DROP (odds ratio [OR] 3.006; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.452, 6.541; P < 0.01), the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (OR 0.919; 95% CI 0.875, 0.960; P < 0.001) and days to initial mobilization (OR 1.221; 95% CI 1.036, 1.531; P < 0.05) were the independent early predictors for preservation of walking ability. CONCLUSION Nutritional status and early mobilization were important risk factors affecting the maintenance of walking ability in patients hospitalized due to aspiration pneumonia. Thus, a combination of nutrition and early rehabilitation is needed for these patients.

Abstract
Elderly patients awaiting lung resection surgery often have poor physical function, which puts them at a high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of preoperative physical performance on postoperative pulmonary complications in patients awaiting lung resection surgery. In this prospective multicenter cohort study, the characteristics of patients and postoperative pulmonary complications were compared between subjects with low (<10) and high (≥10) Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) scores. Postoperative pulmonary complications were defined as over grade II in Clavien-Dindo classification system. We estimated the effects of physical performance on postoperative pulmonary complications using multivariable hierarchical logistic regression. The postoperative pulmonary complications were compared between 331 patients in the high and 33 patients in the low SPPB group. Patients in the low SPPB score group had a significantly higher rate of postoperative pulmonary complications (p < 0.001). Low SPPB score was associated with a higher risk of postoperative pulmonary complications (odds ratio, 8.80; p < 0.001). The SPPB is a clinically useful evaluation tool to assess surgical patients’ physical performance. The low physical performance indicated by the SPPB may be predictive of postoperative pulmonary complications after lung resection surgery. Trial registration: Clinical Trials.

Abstract
AIM Patients awaiting abdominal surgery are often malnourished, which puts them at a high risk of postoperative complications. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of preoperative nutritional status using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) on postoperative complications and the course of recovery for patients undergoing abdominal surgery. METHODS In this prospective multicenter cohort study, we enrolled patients awaiting abdominal surgery from November 2015 to December 2017. The characteristics of patients and postoperative complications were compared between participants (median age 71 years; interquartile range 66-78 years) with low GNRI (<98) values and high GNRI (≥98) values. Multivariate logistic regression was carried out to identify postoperative complications-related factors. RESULTS A total of 366 patients who underwent abdominal surgery were assessed. Patients in the low GNRI group had a significantly higher rate of postoperative complications (P = 0.01), and longer length of hospital stay compared with those in the high GNRI group (P < 0.01). Using multivariate analysis, low GNRI was found to be independently associated with postoperative complications (OR 2.50; P = 0.02) and activities of daily living on postoperative day 7 (OR 1.39; P = 0.03). Comorbidities, handgrip force for postoperative complications, age, preoperative chemotherapy and activities of daily living on postoperative day 7 were not independently associated. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition indicated by the GNRI might be predictive of postoperative complications after abdominal surgery and the delay of postoperative course.

Abstract
[Introduction] Surgery for breast cancer (BC) became less invasion, from radical mastectomy to modified or breast conserving surgery (BCS). Axillary lymph node (ALN) management for cN0 also became less, from ALN dissection (ALND) to sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy. In some cases, management without ALND is allowed even if ALN macro-metastasis exist.
[Background] ALND for SLN metastasis positive case is useful for local control, staging and decision making for post-operative treatment. Since the ACOSOG Z0011 trial (Z11) result was reported, however, the necessity of ALND, even if SLN metastasis, became less. In the NCCN guideline (NCCN), strongly influenced by Z11, for cN0 BC with SLN metastasis, operations without ALND are allowed in cases of T1 or T2, the number of metastatic ALN 1 or 2, BCS with whole breast radiation and no-neoadjuvant therapy. This does not mean ALND was abolished but the position of ALND changed, from the perspective that over invasive procedure must be prohibited with appropriate pre-operative and intra-operative diagnosis. If there are some discordance between clinical and pathological diagnosis of tumor size or ALN metastasis, however, the criteria for axillary operation by NCCN will not be recommended. We have major two types of invasive carcinoma, ductal (IDC) and lobular (ILC). Z11 or NCCN did not describe about these two phenotypes. We compared these at the point of suitable axillary management.
[Subjects] Out of 1320 invasive BC (IDC; 1212, ILC; 108) cases in our hospital from January 2008 to January 2018, 1210 cases (IDC; 1113, ILC; 97) with T1/T2 and cN0 were reviewed in two points, the judgment of the competence for BCS was appropriate or not, and cN0 reflected the condition for the omission of ALND (ALN metastasis within 2) or not.
[Results] The difference of diameter between cT and pT; dT (=pT-cT) were measured significantly larger in ILC (0.68±1.97cm) than IDC (0.01±1.08cm)(p<0.01, t-test) with the wide scattering. We can make proper evaluation for the cT of IDC, but underestimate for ILC. The conversion rate from cN0 to pN1 was significantly higher in ILC (33/97; 34.0%) than IDC (238/1113; 21.4%)(p<0.01, χ2 test). In addition, the cases with 3 or more ALN metastasis, this means ALND is necessary, was observed with significantly higher frequent in ILC (13/97; 13.4%) than IDC (74/1113; 7.1%)(p=0.02, χ2 test). Clinical evaluation for ALN in ILC was difficult and inaccurate.
[Discussion] Commonly, ILC makes diffuse spread into the breast tissue. This feature will make it difficult to evaluate the clinical appropriate tumor size. Because of not only underestimation but wide scattering, the diagnosis for safety BCS may not be guaranteed in ILC. For ALN, cN0 did not reflect adequately the condition of omission for ALND in ILC compared with IDC. ILC patients with SLN metastasis have to be performed ALND at higher risk. These facts will mean that ILC does not fit to ALN management according to NCCN. Few guidelines separate ILC from IDC for the axillary management. The validation of clinical trials for ALND should be done in histological subtype as well as intrinsic again. Clinically, we must observe carefully in cases of ILC without ALND according to Z11.

Abstract
Background Dual blockade of HER2 promises increased pathological complete response (pCR) rate compared with single blockade in the presence of chemotherapy for HER2-positive (+) primary breast cancer. Many questions remain regarding optimal duration of treatment and combination impact of endocrine therapy for luminal HER2 disease. Methods We designed a randomised phase II, five-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lapatinib and trastuzumab (6 weeks) followed by lapatinib and trastuzumab plus weekly paclitaxel (12 weeks) with/without prolongation of anti-HER2 therapy prior to chemotherapy (18 vs. 6 weeks), and with/without endocrine therapy in patients with HER2+ and/or oestrogen receptor (ER)+ disease. The primary endpoint was comprehensive pCR (CpCR) rate. Among the secondary endpoints, pCR (yT0-isyN0) rate, safety, and clinical response were evaluated. Results In total, 215 patients were enrolled; 212 were included in the full analysis set (median age 53.0 years; tumour size = T2, 65%; and tumour spread = N0, 55%). CpCR was achieved in 101 (47.9%) patients and was significantly higher in ER− patients than in ER+ patients (ER− 63.0%, ER+ 36.1%; P = 0.0034). pCR with pN0 was achieved in 42.2% of patients (ER− 57.6%, ER+ 30.3%). No significant difference was observed in pCR rate between prolonged exposure groups and standard groups. Better clinical response outcomes were obtained in the prolongation phase of the anti-HER2 therapy. No surplus was detected in pCR rate by adding endocrine treatment. No major safety concern was recognised by prolonging the anti-HER2 treatment or adding endocrine therapy. Conclusions This study confirmed the therapeutic impact of lapatinib, trastuzumab, and paclitaxel therapy for each ER− and ER+ subgroup of HER2+ patients. Development of further strategies and tools is required, particularly for luminal HER2 disease.

Abstract
Abstract
[Introduction] Cancer microenvironment formed by the immune and inflammatory cells is noticed to be one of the factors for tumor growth, invasion or metastasis. To figure out the systemic inflammatory environment, the neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a useful method and a simple indicator. We have some reports that NLR can predict the prognosis in many malignancies, including breast cancer, as I reported in SABCS 2014, however, NLR cannot be a predictive marker in major cancers, because the usage with anti-cancer agents will make NLR status out of order. In hormonal receptor positive metastatic breast cancer (HR+ve MBC), we choice hormonal therapy (HT) for the first line, mainly. HTs have little influence for NLR, therefore, the change of NLR, increment or decrement, can reflect the systemic inflammatory status and be a useful predictive marker for the HR+ve MBC with HTs.
[Purpose] I define dNLR as the difference between NLR at the 2-3 months after HT and before HT. To evaluate the dNLR affects the Overall Survival (OS) and Progression Free Survival (PFS) of the patients of MBC or not.
[Patients] From 2003 to 2013, we have 299 MBC patients in our hospital. Out of them, 134 patients had HTs as first line, included 18 Stage4 patients at the first visit. Median Disease free survival (DFS) is 1497-day, the median OS after the recurrence is 1472-day. Average value of the NLR before HT is 2.62. The reasons of MBC are bone metastases (mets), pleural and pulmonary mets, liver mets, lymph node mets, central nervous system (CNS) mets, unresectable metastatic chest wall recurrence, or other.
[Results] By univariate analysis, DFS < 1000 (p<0.01) and liver mets (p<0.05) made a contribution to poor OS. dNLR>=0.5 (p<0.05), liver mets (p<0.05) and 2 or more organs involvements (p < 0.05) made a contribution to poor PFS. With multivariate analysis, for OS, only DFS < 1000 was an independent prognostic factor. And for PFS, only dNLR>=0.5 was an independent predictive factor. Poor OS factors by univariate analysis had no influence for PFS as well as poor PFS factors did not reflect the OS.
[Discussion] The dNLR was a predictive marker for HR+ve MBC which we can easily and simply examine by blood sample. Now we cannot reveal the relationship with dNLR and OS, however, this fact suggests that we can decide to stop the first line HT and select the second line therapy using with not only images or tumor makers but also dNLR. This can certainly contribute for good OS. It remains some questions between dNLR and other examinations, for example, which can detect the patient status earlier and more accurate? First, we need to accumulate further retrospective cases and plan the prospective study to make sure of the adequate treatment divided by dNLR.
[Conclusion] The dNLR>=0.5 is one of the independent predictive markers for HR+ve MBC with first line HT.

Abstract
[Purpose] We examined factors affecting annual change in pulmonary function in residents
previously exposed to air pollution in an area where pollution has been reduced and a long
time period has elapsed. [Subjects and Methods] Data of 730 officially acknowledged
victims of pollution-related illness from an annual survey during 2000 to 2009 were
analyzed. The primary outcome was forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1),
along with factors such as age, body composition, smoking habits, respiratory symptoms,
and classification of medical management (an index of the need for treatment). Multiple
regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with the annual change in
FEV1. [Results] Three significant factors were identified: smoking habit,
classification of medical management, and gender. Smoking habits and classification of
medical management had stronger effects on the annual change in FEV1 than
gender. [Conclusion] With an improved environment, continuation of smoking accelerates the
decline in FEV1.

Abstract
Air pollution due to industrial waste and tobacco smoke is detrimental to pulmonary function. However, the combined effects of air pollution and smoking on pulmonary function have not been investigated. We examined the combined effect of air pollution of 40 years ago and concurrent smoking on the pulmonary function of officially acknowledged female victims in Japan, because females are more susceptible to the adverse effects of both irritants than males. The subjects comprised 655 female victims living in one of two areas with air pollution of 40 years ago and 572 females living in an area without air pollution. All victims have been prescribed standard respiratory medications. Pulmonary function was measured in 2000 for air-pollution groups (130 smokers and 525 non-smokers; mean age, 68.4 years) and during the period of 2004 to 2013 for non-air-pollution groups (113 smokers and 459 non-smokers; mean age, 69.0 years). The smokers included both current smokers and ex-smokers. The victims with a history of smoking had significantly lower forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1 % predicted) (mean, 74%) and significantly lower FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) (mean, 70%) than the other groups (P<0.001). Thus, smoking aggravates the pulmonary function in officially acknowledged female victims, despite the improved air pollution and the continuous medical care provided by the government. In conclusion, exposure to air pollution of 40 years ago and cigarette smoking are associated with reduced pulmonary function. These results highlight the importance of measures aimed at smoking cessation and limiting air pollution.

Abstract
Air pollution in Japan caused respiratory disease, such as chronic bronchitis and asthma, in many individuals in the 1960s. Although air pollution has decreased, many victims of air pollution-related respiratory disease are limited in their activities of daily living because of respiratory symptoms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of pulmonary rehabilitation in victims of air pollution-related chronic bronchitis or asthma. Subjects were enrolled in a 12-week (2-week inpatient followed by 10-week outpatient) pulmonary rehabilitation program. The program comprised conditioning, strength training, endurance training, and patient education. We assessed the Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC) dyspnea grade, pulmonary function, peripheral muscle force, incremental shuttle walk distance (ISWD), and physical activity at baseline and immediately after the program. Twenty-nine subjects (mean age 74.2 ± 10.1 years, 11 males) completed the program, including 11 subjects with COPD and 18 subjects with asthma. Following rehabilitation, the participants (n = 29) showed significant improvements in MMRC dyspnea grade, vital capacity % predicted, quadriceps force and ISWD (all P < 0.05). Sub-group analyses revealed that all these variables were significantly improved in subjects with asthma. In contrast, subjects with COPD showed significant improvements only in quadriceps force and ISWD (both P < 0.05). Thus, pulmonary rehabilitation is an effective method of improving exercise capacity and dyspnea in officially acknowledged victims of air pollution-related asthma. In conclusion, we recommend that patients with chronic bronchitis or asthma, resulting from exposure to air pollution, are referred for pulmonary rehabilitation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to elucidate the long-term association of tobacco use and respiratory health in designated pollution victims with and without obstructive pulmonary defects. DESIGN A retrospective cross-sectional study. SETTING The register of pollution victims in Kurashiki, Japan. PARTICIPANTS 730 individuals over 65 years of age previously diagnosed with pollution-related respiratory disease. Patients were classified into four groups according to their smoking status and whether they had obstructive pulmonary disease. We then compared the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and lung function over time between groups. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES Spirometry was performed and a respiratory health questionnaire completed in the same season each year for up to 30 years. RESULTS Rates of smoking and respiratory disease were high in our sample. Although respiratory function in non-smoking patients did not completely recover, the annual rate of change in lung function was within the normal range (p<0.01). However, smokers had worse lung function and were more likely to report more severe pulmonary symptoms (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Patients' respiratory function did not fully recover despite improved air quality. Our results suggest that, in the context of exposure to air pollution, tobacco use causes additional loss of lung function and exacerbates respiratory symptoms.

Abstract
We investigated the disease-free survival (DFS) of HER2-positive primary breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy plus trastuzumab, as well as predictive factors for DFS and pathologic response. Data from 829 female patients treated between 2001 and 2010 were collected from 38 institutions in Japan. Predictive factors were evaluated using multivariate analyses. The 3-year DFS rate was 87 % [95 % confidence interval (CI) 85-90]. The pathologic complete response (pCR: ypT0/is + ypN0) rate was 51 %. The pCR rate was higher in the ER/PgR-negative patients than in the ER/PgR-positive patients (64 vs. 36 %, P < 0.001). Patients with pCR showed a higher DFS rate than patients without pCR (93 vs. 82 %, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed three independent predictors for poorer DFS: advanced nodal stage [hazard ratio (HR) 2.63, 95 % CI 1.36-5.21, P = 0.004 for cN2-3 vs. cN0], histological/nuclear grade 3 (HR 1.81, 95 % CI 1.15-2.91, P = 0.011), and non-pCR (HR 1.98, 95 % CI 1.22-3.24, P = 0.005). In the ER/PgR-negative dataset, non-pCR (HR 2.63, 95 % CI 1.43-4.90, P = 0.002) and clinical tumor stage (HR 2.20, 95 % CI 1.16-4.20, P = 0.017 for cT3-4 vs. cT1-2) were independent predictors for DFS, and in the ER/PgR-positive dataset, histological grade of 3 (HR 3.09, 95 % CI 1.48-6.62, P = 0.003), clinical nodal stage (HR 4.26, 95 % CI 1.53-13.14, P = 0.005 for cN2-3 vs. cN0), and young age (HR 2.40, 95 % CI 1.12-4.94, P = 0.026 for ≤40 vs. >40) were negative predictors for DFS. Strict pCR (ypT0 + ypN0) was an independent predictor for DFS in both the ER/PgR-negative and -positive datasets (HR 2.66, 95 % CI 1.31-5.97, P = 0.006 and HR 3.86, 95 % CI 1.13-24.21, P = 0.029, respectively). These results may help assure a more accurate prognosis and personalized treatment for HER2-positive breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Lung function is one of the strongest determinants of cardiopulmonary health and longevity. Long-term exposure to air pollution has been associated with decreased lung function. We undertook a retrospective study to compare the long-term consequences of air pollution in two areas of Japan: Mizushima, Okayama Prefecture and Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture. Industrialization began in Mizushima in the 1940s, whereas it began in Kitakyushu in the early 1900s. In Kitakyushu, levels of nitrogen dioxide have been higher compared to the Mizushima area. The subjects comprised 623 officially acknowledged victims of pollution-related illness (489 from Mizushima and 134 from Kitakyushu). All subjects were lifetime non-smokers and aged 65 years or older at the time of their last medical examination in 2009. Demographic data including diagnosed lung diseases and lung function at the time of certification assessment performed between 1973 and 1988 were obtained. The subjects from Kitakyushu were significantly younger (47.1 vs. 51.0 years, p < 0.001) and a higher percentage had asthma (91.2 vs. 36.8%, p < 0.001) compared to those from Mizushima. Furthermore, all measures of lung function were significantly lower in Kitakyushu group at the time of the certification assessment (p < 0.001) and at the follow-up (p < 0.001). However, no significant differences were observed in the annual mean decline in lung function between the two groups, despite the overall decrease in air pollution. In conclusion, the normal lung function is not restored even after improvement of air pollution. It is essential for every city to prevent air pollution.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patients (pts) without pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) have a poor prognosis compared with pts achieving a pCR with NAC. It is not clear whether further systemic chemotherapy is beneficial for pts with no pCR. CREATE-X (UMIN000000843) is an ongoing collaborative Korean (KRN)/Japanese (JPN) prospective multicenter open-label randomized phase III trial evaluating this clinical question using capecitabine (X) in pts with no pCR after NAC. We report first safety results, focusing on hand-foot syndrome (HFS), the timing of radiotherapy (RT) and hormone therapy (HT), and differences between KRN and JPN pts.
Methods
Pts with residual invasive cancer after anthracycline- and/or taxane-containing NAC were randomized to standard post-surgical treatment (RT, HT as appropriate) with or without 8 cycles of X (1250 mg/m2 bid, days 1–14 q3w). RT was given before or after X. Pts with hormone receptor (HR)-positive disease received HT either with or after X, according to each center's prespecified standard practice. After evaluation of the tolerability of 6 cycles of X in the first 50 pts, the independent data monitoring committee recommended extending X to 8 cycles.
Results
Between Feb 2007 and Jul 2012, 910 pts were enrolled (304 in Korea, 606 in Japan). At the time of data cut-off (May 20, 2013), data were available from 866 pts. Median age was 48 years in both arms. In the investigational arm, RT was given before X in 260 pts and after X in 33 pts; 73 pts received prophylactic vitamin B6 (VB6). In HR-positive pts HT was given with X in 200 pts and after X in 24 pts. The relative dose intensity of X was 85.7% in JPN pts and 95.2% in KRN pts. Grade (G) 3/4 neutropenia, HFS (G3 only), fatigue, and diarrhea were significantly (p<0.05) more common with X than no X. G3 HFS occurred in 11.1% of pts receiving X, and was significantly more common in JPN vs KRN pts (p = 0.016). No significant difference in HFS was observed between pts who received vs did not receive VB6 (p = 0.392). G3/4 alanine aminotransferase (ALT) abnormalities were significantly more common in pts receiving RT after vs before X (p<0.001) and in pts receiving HT after vs concurrently with X (p<0.001).

Conclusions
Addition of 8 cycles of X to standard adjuvant therapy is feasible and tolerable, resulting in a modest yet acceptable increase in toxicities. The timing of RT and HT administration relative to X influenced the incidence of adverse events. HFS was more common in JPN than KRN pts, although further investigation of the potential cause of this difference is required. These findings should be interpreted in light of efficacy data, expected in 2015.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Addition of trastuzumab to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) improved pathologic complete response (pCR) rate in HER2-positive breast cancer. Although recent trials have shown favorable prognosis with NAC plus trastuzumab, clinicopathological factors to predict the outcome have not been fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the survival after NAC with trastuzumab and to explore the predictive factors.
PATIENTS AND METHODS:
This is a multicenter retrospective observational study. Patients with HER2-positive primary breast cancer treated with NAC plus trastuzumab from 2001 to 2010 were identified from the institutional database. Primary end point was disease-free survival (DFS). pCR was defined as ypT0/is+ypN0. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate DFS. Logistic regression and proportional hazard analysis were used to identify clinicopathological factors to predict pCR and DFS, respectively.
RESULTS:
733 patients were included in the analysis (whole dataset). 425 were ER/PgR-negative (HR- dataset) and 306 were ER/PgR-positive (HR+ dataset). Radiation therapy was performed in 90% of lumpectomy and 31% of mastectomy. Hormonal therapy was performed in 84% of HR+ dataset. pCR rate was 45% in whole dataset, 60% in HR- dataset, and 34% in HR+ dataset. Table 1 showed the result of multivariate analysis for pCR in whole dataset. When HR+ and HR- dataset were analyzed separately, no definitive predictors for pCR were identified in multivariate analysis. Although the patients with pCR showed a significantly favorable prognosis than those without pCR at 3 years DFS, in whole dataset (93% vs 83%, p<0.0001) and HR- dataset (94% vs 80%, p<0.0001), there was no significant difference in HR+ dataset (89% vs 86%, p = 0.10). Different predictors were selected for DFS when multivariate analysis was conducted separately between HR- and HR+ dataset (Table 2).
CONCLUSIONS:
In this observational study, we clarified predictors for pCR and DFS in HER2-positive patients treated with neoadjuvant trastuzumab containing therapy based on tumor subtype. Our results may help us to predict the prognosis more precisely and to simulate the disease course.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: We compared and evaluated three 6-cycle, docetaxel and cyclophosphamide (TC)-containing chemotherapy regimens in a multicenter randomized phase II study. The main aim was to investigate whether anthracyclines are needed or can be omitted, and whether the order of chemotherapy is important, for treating luminal-type breast cancer.
Methods: We recruited patients (pts) with ER-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer aged 20–70 years, and histo-pathologically invasive breast cancer (T1c-3, N0-1, M0), T≤7cm. Pts were randomized to 3 groups for the following treatments: 6 cycles of TC; 3 cycles of 5-FU/epirubicin/cyclophosphamide (FEC) followed by 3 cycles of TC (FEC-TC); and 3 cycles of TC followed by 3 cycles of FEC (TC-FEC). TC treatment consisted of administration of docetaxel at 75 mg/m2 and cyclophosphamide at 600 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks. FEC treatment consisted of administration of 5-FU at 500 mg/m2, epirubicin at 100 mg/m2, and cyclophosphamide at 500 mg/m2 once every 3 weeks. We aimed to enroll 65 pts per group based on an expected pCR rate among regimens of adding 10% at a threshold of 9%. The primary endpoint was pathological complete response (pCR) rate. Secondary endpoints were overall response rate (ORR), breast conservation rate and safety.
Results: A total of 195 pts (median age, 49.5 years (range, 26–69); median tumor size, 32.8 mm (range, 9–82); 91 pts with N(+) (51%)) were enrolled and randomized as follows: FEC-TC (n = 65), TC-FEC (n = 63), and TC group (n = 67). There were no differences in backgrounds among groups. Both the intention-to-treat population and the safety analysis set included 65, 63 and 65 pts in these groups, respectively. The 6-cycle treatment completion rates were 96.9%, 96.8% and 84.6%, respectively. pCR, defined as yT0/isyN0, was achieved by 9.2% of pts in the FEC-TC group, 8.1% in the TC-FEC group, and 15.9% in the TC group (p = 0.321). A quasi pCR in breast (yT0/is and near pCR) was achieved by 13.9%, 14.5%, and 17.5%, respectively. These responses did not differ among the 3 groups. ORRs, assessed by MRI or CT, were 75.8% (CR: 12.9%), 75% (CR: 5%), and 82.2% (CR: 17.9%) in the FEC-TC, TC-FEC and TC groups, respectively. Breast conservation rates were 50.8%, 45.2%, and 73.0%, respectively.Adverse events of Grade≥3 were observed in 20.0%, 27.0%, and 20.3% of pts in the FEC-TC, TC-FEC, and TC groups, respectively, with no significant differences. Febrile neutropenia was observed in 17.2%, 21.0%, and 11.3%, respectively, but in most cases it was managed sufficiently on an outpatient basis. Of 28, 27 and 23 pts in these groups in whom mastectomy was planned, 9 (32%), 5 (19%), and 10 (44%) were successfully converted to undergo breast-conserving surgery. Of 37, 35 and 40 pts in the FEC-TC, TC-FEC and TC groups in whom breast-conserving surgery was planned, 13 (35%), 12 (34%), and 4 (10%) underwent mastectomy.
Conclusion: Six cycles of TC had therapeutic effects and safety equivalent to FEC-TC and TC-FEC. The 3 treatment groups showed similar pCR rates, although the breast conservation rate was significantly higher in the TC group than in the other 2 groups. It may be possible to conduct preoperative chemotherapy for pts with ER-positive breast cancer without using an anthracycline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Air pollution is known to be a leading cause of respiratory symptoms. Many cross-sectional studies reported that air pollution caused respiratory disease in Japanese individuals in the 1960s. Japan has laws regulating air pollution levels and providing compensation for victims of pollution-related respiratory disease. However, long-term changes in respiratory function and symptoms in individuals who were exposed to air pollution in the 1960s have not been well studied. This study aimed to investigate longitudinal respiratory function and symptoms in older, non-smoking, long-term officially-acknowledged victims of pollution-related illness. METHODS The study included 563 officially-acknowledged victims of pollution-related illness living in Kurashiki, Okayama who were aged ≥ 65 years in 2009. Data were retrospectively collected from yearly respiratory symptom questionnaires and spirometry examinations conducted from 2000 to 2009. RESULTS Respiratory function declined significantly from 2000 to 2009 (p < 0.01), but the mean annual changes were relatively small. The change in mean vital capacity was -40.5 ml/year in males and -32.7 ml/year in females, and the change in mean forced expiratory volume in 1 second was -27.6 ml/year in males and -23.9 ml/year in females. Dyspnea was the only symptom that worsened significantly from 2000 to 2009 in both sexes (males: p < 0.05, females: p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the high concentrations of air pollutants around 1970 resulted in a decrease in respiratory function and an increase in respiratory symptoms in the study population. From 2000 to 2009, the mean annual changes in respiratory function were within the normal range, even though the severity of dyspnea worsened. The changes in respiratory function and symptoms over the study period were probably due to aging. The laws governing air pollution levels and providing compensation for officially-acknowledged victims of pollution-related illness in Japan may be effective for respiratory disease cause by pollution.

Abstract
Abstract
Background; Clinical response is determined after several cycles of chemotherapy by changes in tumor size in imaging procedures including ultrasound, MRI or CT. The aim of this prospective study was to early detect non-responder to docetaxel (DTX) in neoadjuvant chemotherapy using 18F- FDG-PET in patients with breast cancer. Method; 41 patients were eligible for this study. 37 were assessable (4 were not eligible or not evaluable) with Invasive carcinoma (T1:10%, T2: 83%). All 37 patients were treated with 4 cycles of docetaxel (75mg per square meter) followed by 4 cycles of FEC(cyclophosphamide/epirubicin/fluorouracil: 500/75/500 mg per square meter) before surgery. 18F-FDG-PET response rate was evaluated between before and after the first cycle of DTX. 18F-FDG-PET images were analyzed by standardized uptake value, SUVmax. Clinical response is determined by reduction rate in tumor size with MRI (RECIST criteria) between before the first cycle and after the fourth cycle of DTX. Pathological response evaluated by core needle biopsy after the fourth cycle of DTX.
Result; 18F-FDG-PET response rate after the first cycle of DTX showed correlation with tumor size reduction rate with MRI image after the fourth cycle of DTX (r=0.746)(P <.001). 0 out of 8 patients (0%) revealed cPR with MRI changes in SUV decrease less than 18% (p <.001). 8 out of 13 patients (62%) showed cPR (cCR = 0) with MRI in SUV decrease over 19 to 44% (P <.001). 9 out of 16 patients (56%) were cPR, and 7 out of them (44%) showed cCR with MRI in SUV decrease over 45% (P <.001).
Conclusion; Changes of 18F-FDG SUVs in tumors were statistically significantly different between responding and nonresponding (P <.001). SUV decrease less than 18% after the first cycle indicated potential failure to DTX in neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Although superior antitumor activity of anastrozole over tamoxifen has been well established in postmenopausal breast cancer patients, it still remains to be examined whether or not anastrozole is superior to tamoxifen in premenopausal breast cancer patients whose ovarian function is suppressed by goserelin to postmenopausal levels. The aim of this study was to compare anastrozole plus goserelin versus tamoxifen plus goserelin as pre-operative treatment for premenopausal Japanese women with breast cancer.
Methods: Phase III, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multi-center study (D539BC00001). Premenopausal patients (pts) with ER-positive and HER2-negative breast cancer and with operable and measurable lesions (T [2-5 cm], N0, M0) were randomized 1:1 to receive a goserelin 3.6 mg depot injection once monthly plus either anastrozole 1 mg (A+G) or tamoxifen 20 mg (T+G) p.o. once daily. Treatment continued for 24 weeks prior to surgery or until any other criterion for discontinuation was met. Concomitant chemotherapy was not permitted during the pre-operative period. The primary objective was to assess the best overall tumor response (either a complete response [CR] or a partial response [PR]), according to modified RECIST criteria. Tumor size was measured by caliper and ultrasound every 4 weeks and by magnetic resonance imaging/computed tomography (MRI/CT) every 12 weeks. Tolerability (adverse events [AEs], laboratory tests, vital signs, WHO performance status) was assessed as a secondary objective. AEs were evaluated according to CTCAE v3.0.
Results: In total, 197 pts were randomized (A+G: 98, T+G: 99) and 185 pts completed the 24-week pre-operative treatment period and went on to receive breast surgery. The remaining 12 pts discontinued study treatment due to disease progression (A+G: 1; T+G: 5), voluntary discontinuation (A+G: 2; T+G: 3) and AE (T+G: 1). Pt demographics were generally well balanced. Median duration of exposure was similar for A+G (171 days) and T+G (170 days); treatment compliance was 99% for both. A+G led to a statistically significantly higher overall response rate compared with T+G, by caliper as well as by ultrasound and MRI/CT.
The safety profiles were consistent with the known safety profile of anastrozole, tamoxifen and goserelin. The incidence of AEs was similar
for A+G (88.8%) vs T+G (85.7%); most AEs were mild or moderate (CTC grade 1 or 2). The most common AEs were hot flash (A+G: 52.0%; T+G: 53.1%) and arthralgia (A+G: 35.7%; T+G: 20.4%). Conclusion: This study has demonstrated that the A+G combination has a superior benefit-risk profile compared with T+G as pre-operative treatment in Japanese premenopausal women with ER-positive breast cancer.

Abstract #4099
Background: In the treatment of breast cancer, combination chemotherapy of AC/EC has been widely used for neoadjuvant, adjuvant chemotherapy or standard treatment of metastatic breast cancer. AC/EC frequently induces severe nausea and vomiting, that it is important to adequately prevent and control. PALO is the first novel serotonine antagonist approved for prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting in moderately emetogenic chemotherapy in US and other countries. Integrated analysis was done on the data from phase 2 and 3 trials that have been completed in Japan. The purpose of this analysis was to assess efficacy and safety of PALO for preventing CINV induced by AC/EC regimens.
 Methods: Three Japanese studies with single/repeated IV dose of PALO in pts receiving AC/EC were used. In all these studies, PALO 0.75 mg IV was administrated 30 min prior to AC/EC. Dexamethasone was administrated before AC/EC on day 1, and also on days 2-3 for the phase 3 trial. This integrated analysis assessed the efficacy and safety by difference in regimens (AC or EC), assessed the efficacy by difference in FEC (EC with 5-FU) or EC regimen and by difference in epirubicin (E) dosage in EC. Apart from the integrated analysis, efficacy of PALO in repeated cycles of chemotherapy was assessed by different regimens (AC or EC).
 Results: Total of 266 pts administrated AC/EC were evaluated for efficacy in single dose. Overall CR(CR = no emesis or rescue medication)% for PALO in acute phase was 70.7%. Overall CR% in delayed phase was 61.3%. CR% in acute and delayed phase for (a) AC (n=76) vs EC (n=190), (b) FEC (n=141) vs EC (n=49), (c) low (n=109) vs high (n=81) dosage of E (<=90, >90 mg/m2) in EC were as follows; (a) acute: 80.3 vs 66.8, delayed: 68.4 vs 58.4, (b) acute: 61.7 vs 81.6, delayed: 56.7 vs 63.3, (c) acute: 72.5 vs 59.3, delayed: 61.5 vs 54.3. Total of 155 pts administrated AC/EC were evaluated for efficacy of PALO in repeated cycles of chemotherapy, and similar efficacy between AC and EC was confirmed. Total of 474 pts administered AC/EC were evaluated for safety in all Japanese studies. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse drug reactions between AC and EC.
 Conclusion: This integrated analysis suggested that high antiemetic activity of PALO in CINV was shown for breast cancer pts receiving either AC or EC. In addition, in the FEC regimen and high dosage of E, all showed CR rate of more than 50% in both acute and delayed phases in the efficacy analysis, revealing a long lasting antiemetic activity of palonosetron.

Abstract
There are still many questions to be elucidated concerning the relationship between telomerase activity and various factors associated with cancer. Whether or not the level of telomerase activity could be a prognostic factor in breast cancer was investigated through 5-yr follow-up observation. Telomerase activity was quantified by the fluorescence-based telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay in 54 patients with breast cancer and its relationship with patient prognosis was examined. Telomerase activity was detected in 92.6% of breast cancer patients, with a median of 65.4 TPG (total product generated) (Min 0-Max 446.2). The follow-up observation for 5 yr demonstrated that among background factors examined, recurrence was the only factor that showed a significant association with the level of telomerase activity when a cutoff at 100 TPG was adopted. This suggested the possibility of 100 TPG telomerase activity being a prognostic factor for recurrence. Prospective studies will be necessary to clarify this matter.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The tendency for breast cancer to form multiple lesions is important to consider when planning breast-conserving surgery. However, many unknowns remain regarding the pathology and prognosis of multiple breast cancer, and therefore it is clinically significant to investigate its clinicopathological properties. METHODS Over the past 25 years, in the period between April 1972 and March 1997, we investigated the clinicopathological findings including the 5-year and 10-year survival rates of 66 patients treated for unilateral multiple breast cancer. RESULTS Of the total of 1,334 female patients with unilateral breast cancer who underwent curative surgery at our hospital, we identified 66 (5.0%) patients with unilateral multiple cancer. The incidence of such cancer has been higher in recent years. Of the 66 patients, 50 (75.8%) were premenopausal, and the remaining patients were postmenopausal, but multiple cancer among postmenopausal women is a recent phenomenon. The ER positivity rate of the main lesion in patients with multiple breast cancer was 69.2% and that of PgR was 50.0%. The 5-and 10-year overall survival rate in all 66 patients with multiple breast cancer was 90.8% and 79.7%, respectively. CONCLUSION In the past, multiple breast cancer was frequently identified in premenopausal women. However, the current findings indicate that its incidence among postmenopausal women has increased in recent years. In addition, prognoses were comparable for patients with multiple or solitary breast cancer, a relevant finding in the planning of breast-conserving surgery.

Abstract
When co-expressed with a receptor activity-modifying protein (RAMP) accessory protein, calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) can function as a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor (CRLR-RAMP1) or an adrenomedullin (AM) receptor (CRLR-RAMP2/3). Here we report on the structural domain(s) involved in selective AM binding that were examined using various RAMP chimeras and deletion mutants. Co-expression of chimeric RAMPs and CRLR in HEK293 cells revealed that residues 77-101, situated in the extracellular N-terminal domain of human RAMP2 (hRAMP2), were crucial for selective AM-evoked cAMP production. More detailed analysis showed that deletion of hRAMP2 residues 86-92 significantly attenuated high-affinity (125)I-AM binding and AM-evoked cAMP production despite full cell surface expression of the receptor heterodimer and that deletion of hRAMP3 residues 59-65 had a similar effect. There is little sequence identity between hRAMP3 residues 59-65 and hRAMP2 residues 86-92; moreover, substituting alanine for Trp(86) (Ala(87)), Met(88), Ile(89), Ser(90), Arg(91), or Pro(92) of hRAMP2 had no effect on AM-evoked cAMP production. It thus seems unlikely that any one amino acid residue is responsible for determining selective AM binding or that AM binds directly to these peptide segments. Instead these findings suggest that the respective seven-amino acid sequences confer selectivity either by directly contributing to the structure of ligand binding pocket or by allosteric modulation of the conformation of CRLR.

Abstract
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 6q is often observed in breast cancer, suggesting the existence of a putative tumor suppressor. Recently, a human homolog of the Drosophila warts tumor suppressor gene, h-warts/LATS1, was identified and mapped at chromosome 6q24-25.1. Mutation analysis of the h-warts/LATS1 was performed using 25 breast cancer tissues by RT-PCR SSCP analysis. Although LOH of the h-warts/LATS1 was found in one patient, no mutations were found. Two polymorphisms were found, but neither of them caused amino acid substitutions. Further investigations are necessary to elucidate the role of the h-warts/LATS1 gene in the carcinogenesis of breast cancer.

Abstract
A phase II trial has demonstrated that paclitaxel (210 mg/m2/3 hr) showed a 33.3% response rate among anthracycline-resistant breast cancer patients in Japan. Recently, weekly dosing of paclitaxel has been demonstrated to be a well-tolerated, feasible and effective administration schedule. Standard premedication is commonly administered prior to treatment with paclitaxel. However, this regimen requires dexamethasone administration beginning at 12 to 14 hours prior to paclitaxel, which would not be convenient for outpatients. In this study, paclitaxel was administered by 1 hour intravenous infusion at a dose of 80 mg/m2 every week. Administration was continued for 3 weeks with a 1 week rest. A short course premedication schedule consisted of dexamethasone 20 mg i.v. (diluted in 50 ml normal saline, 1 hour prior to paclitaxel), and oral diphenhydramine 50 mg, H2-antagonist and anti-emetic agent i.v. (diluted in 50 ml normal saline, 30 minutes prior to paclitaxel). A total of 14 outpatients were enrolled in the study. There were 10 partial responders and no complete responders, and the overall response rate was 71.4%. No hypersensitivity reactions were observed, and grade 3/4 leukopenia occurred in 43% (6/14). Allopecia was observed in 4 patients, and peripheral neuropathy in 1 patient (both grade 1). Weekly administration of paclitaxel is effective and well-tolerated in patients with advanced or metastatic breast cancer, with a minimum of peripheral neuropathy. In addition to the above, no hypersensitive reaction in the short course premedication schedule suggests that this administration schedule is feasible for outpatients.

Abstract
A 49-year-old male with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) was scheduled for gastrectomy. Anesthetic management was performed under general anesthesia with sevoflurane and epidural anesthesia with lidocaine. He showed increased response to vecuronium under monitoring of neuromuscular block. But he responded favorably to anticholineesterase. He had little pain and showed no progress in neurological symptoms in the postoperative period. Neuromuscular monitoring is essential in administrating non-depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agents to patients with ALS, and epidural anesthesia may be useful for perioperative management of patients with ALS.

Abstract
Hyperfunctioning thyroid adenomas are benign tumors characterized by their autonomous growth and functional activity, which frequently cause clinical hyperthyroidism and show a predominant radioactive iodine uptake in the nodule. Activating mutations in the gene encoding the alpha subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gs alpha), as well as activating mutations in the gene encoding thyrotropin receptor in hyperfunctioning thyroid adenomas, have been reported. The mutations in Gs alpha involved the replacement of either arginine 201 with cysteine or histidine, or glutamine 227 with arginine or leucine. These residues are involved in GDP/GTP binding of Gs alpha and these mutations inhibit intrinsic GTPase activity that results in constitutive activation of adenylyl cyclase. The pathophysiological roles of these mutations in the formation of hyperfunctioning thyroid adenoma have been suggested.

Abstract
We analyzed cultured cells from hyperfunctioning thyroid adenoma and its surrounding thyroid tissue from a Japanese woman and determined the nucleotide sequences of genes encoding the alpha subunit of the stimulatory G-protein 1 (G alphas) and thyrotropin (TSH) receptor in its tumor tissue. Primary culture of cells from hyperfunctioning thyroid adenoma and its surrounding thyroid tissue revealed that cAMP production was constitutively activated while intracellular Ca2+ concentration was suppressed both at the basal level and in the response to TSH stimulation in the cells from tumor tissue compared with those from non-tumor tissue. Nucleotide sequence analysis demonstrated the somatic missense mutation at codon 201 (CGT(Arg)-CAT(His)) of G alphas gene in tumor tissue but not in its surrounding tissue. No mutation was observed in the transmembrane region of TSH receptor. These results suggest that cAMP regulatory cascade is constitutively activated while phospholipase C-Ca2+ signaling cascade is suppressed in hyperfunctioning thyroid adenoma with an activating mutation of G alphas gene in the present case.

Abstract
The transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) binds the type II TGFbeta growth factor receptor (TGFbetaRII) to inhibit the growth of most epithelial tissues. Most human colon and gastric cancers with microsatellite instability (MI) have frameshift mutations in polynucleotide repeats within the TGFbetaRII coding region; these mutations truncate the receptor protein and disable the serine/threonine kinase to produce TGF-beta resistance. To further investigate the type, frequency and tissue distribution of TGFbetaRII gene mutations, in this study, we examined 36 sporadic breast cancers. We previously produced eight intron based primer pairs for mutational analysis of the entire coding region of the TGFbetaRII gene. Using these primers, we developed protocols for polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis of PCR products from genomic DNA samples of 36 breast cancer patients and we tested them for microsatellite instability (MI) at eight microsatellite loci. One case demonstrated MI (2.8%) and we found no mutations. These and other recent data indicate that TGFbetaRII mutations are essentially confined to colon and gastric cancers with MI. The narrow spectrum of tissues containing RII mutations illustrates the complexity of genetic checkpoints in human carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The present paper introduces a new fine probe for electric cautery (1.65 mm in diameter, 22 cm long) that can be connected to a conventional cylindrical hand-controlled cautery holder, which is monopolar and widely used in general surgery. When cautery was required, a 14-gauge intravenous catheter was inserted at an appropriate site under the guidance of a videoscope. After removing the steel inner needle, the extra tube was used as the fine surgical port for the cautery probe. The position of insertion could be altered according to the operating field. Cautery was performed by conventional methods. There was no bleeding or air leakage at the site of puncture during or after surgery. The puncture wound was closed without any sutures. Based on these results, the new fine probe for cautery can reduce the number of surgical ports required for instruments during video-assisted surgery, thus improving the ease and safety of endoscopic surgery.

Abstract
Digital video imaging indicated that about 80% of fura-2-loaded single human thyroid cells responded to TSH, resulting in an increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Most of the TSH-sensitive cells further responded to N6-(L-2-phenylisopropyl)-adenosine (PIA) showing a transient [Ca2+]i rise in a PIA dose-dependent manner. Addition of PIA prior to TSH administration had no effect or showed only a slight [Ca2+]i increase, but in about 80% of the cells, regardless of the response to PIA, the addition of TSH after PIA resulted in a higher transient [Ca2+]i response than that in the absence of PIA. Inactivation of Gi/G(o) by pertussis toxin (PTX) treatment markedly reduced the effect of PIA on TSH action to the level induced by PIA alone. Immunoglobulin fractions obtained from two Graves' patients with high TSAb (antibody activity measured by cAMP response) activity induced [Ca2+]i increase and cooperated with PIA. Under the same conditions, TSH-dependent cAMP accumulation was inhibited by PIA. These results suggest that adenosine Ai receptor is expressed in human thyroid cells in primary culture as well as in FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells, and that in the presence of adenosine. TSH or Graves' IgG signal tends to be directed to the Ca2+ pathway in the human thyroid.

Abstract
T cells obtained from normal mouse spleen cells showed significant cytotoxic activity against Fc receptor positive tumor cells in the presence of anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb). This activity was designated as natural cytotoxic T cell (NCT) activity and compared with natural killer (NK) activity. Considerable levels of NCT activity were detected in mouse strains with both high and low NK activity. NCT cells were distributed in both lower and higher density fractions of Percoll discontinuous density gradients, while NK cells were enriched in the lower density fraction of Percoll gradients. Moreover, NCT activity was resistant to in vivo anti-asialo GM1 treatment, in contrast to NK cells. These results indicate that NCT cells, which have different characteristics from NK cells, are present in normal, nonimmunized mouse spleen cells. Unexpectedly, CD4+ T cells sorted from normal mouse spleen T cells revealed significant NCT activity, as did CD8+ T cells. It was also demonstrated that NCT cells require the LFA-1 molecule to lyse tumor cells in the presence of anti-CD3 mAb.

Abstract
A small-sized c-type cytochrome, designated cytochrome c-551, was prepared from membrane fraction of the thermophilic bacterium PS3 grown under air-limited conditions by extraction with cholate, precipitation with polyethylene glycol, and successive chromatographies with DEAE-cellulose and Sephacryl S-200 in the presence of a detergent. The purified sample contained approximately 1 mol of heme c per 10,000 g protein; it showed absorption bands at 551, 522 and 416 nm upon reduction, and a Soret peak at 409 nm upon oxidation. This cytochrome showed a single band of 10 kDa on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with sodium dodecyl sulfate. The isoelectric point of this cytochrome c-551 was pH 4.0. Cytochrome c-551 was suggested to play an important role in the respiratory chain with a terminal oxidase cytochrome o, which is produced under air-limited conditions, since cytochrome c-551 could mediate electron transfer between cytochrome bc1(b6f) complex and cytochrome o, showing quinol oxidase activity.

Abstract
The purification and properties of a protein serine kinase (PK-P) extracted with Triton X-100 from membranes of bakers' yeast are described. The enzyme is virtually inactive unless either a histone or a heat-stable polypeptide from yeast membranes and Mg2+ are added. Other divalent cations substitute for Mg2+ poorly or not at all; most of them, including Mn2+, inhibit when added in the presence of 5 mM Mg2+. The enzyme is unstable but can be stabilized by addition of 0.1% Triton X-100 and 20% glycerol. The final preparation shows, on silver-stained electrophoresis gels, two major bands (Mr 41,000 and 35,000). According to gel filtration the molecular weight of the active protein is about 75,000. Of the two subunits, only the smaller one appears to be autophosphorylated. In addition to casein, the enzyme phosphorylates several proteins including the H+-ATPase (Mr 100,000) in the yeast plasma membrane. In order to demonstrate the phosphorylation of the ATPase (up to 0.9 equivalents), exposure of the latter to an acid phosphatase was required. Other phosphorylated proteins include mRNA cap-binding protein from mammalian erythrocytes and yeast, a glucocorticoid receptor protein, and a preparation of the guanine nucleotide-binding proteins Gi and Go from brain. A partial purification of a natural activator from yeast plasma membranes is described.

Abstract
The stoichiometry of vectorial H+ ejection, coupled to ferrocytochrome c oxidation by a three-subunit bacterial cytochrome c oxidase (EC 1.9.3.1) from the thermophilic bacterium PS3, was measured. Three methods of measuring the H+/e- ratio were applied to proteoliposomes containing a relatively small amount of PS3 cytochrome oxidase, which showed a relatively low oxidation rate and a very low H+ leakage, as follows: (a) simultaneous measurements of H+ ejection and cytochrome c oxidation upon addition of a yeast ferrocytochrome c pulse, which enable us to calculate the H+/e- ratio as H+ ejected per cytochrome c oxidized; (b) computer simulations to find out the fit for the pH meter trace by changing the H+/e- ratio and the velocity constant of leakage; and (c) two successive measurements of initial rates of H+ movement in the absence and presence of carbonyl cyanide p-trifluoromethoxyphenylhydrazone. The H+/e- ratios obtained were 1.39, the 10-s value after ferrocytochrome c addition in (a), 1.35 in (b), and 1.33 in (c). This high H+/e- stoichiometry observed, exceeding 1 and as high as 1.4, is discussed with respect to the controversy of the H+/e- ratio at the cytochrome oxidase site.
