Abstract
Currently, hepatitis B virus (HBV) core antibody (anti-HBc antibody) and HBV core-related antigen (HBcrAg) are widely used as serum markers for diagnosis based on the HBV core region. This review focused on anti-HBc antibodies and HBcrAg and aimed to summarize the clinical significance of currently used assay systems and the issues involved. While anti-HBc is very significant for clinical diagnosis, the clinical significance of quantitative assay of anti-HBc antibody has been reevaluated with improvements in diagnostic performance, including its association with clinical stage and prediction of carcinogenesis and reactivation. In addition, concerning the new HBcrAg, a high-sensitivity assay method has recently been established, and its diagnostic significance, including the prediction of reactivation, is being reevaluated. On the other hand, the quantitative level of anti-HBc antibody expressed in different units among assay systems complicates the interpretation of the results. However, it is difficult to standardize assay systems as they vary in advantages, and caution is needed in interpreting the assay results. In conclusion, with the development of highly sensitive HBcrAg and anti-HBc antibody, a rapid and sensitive detection assay system has been developed and used in clinical practice. In the future, it is hoped that a global standard will be created based on the many clinical findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze 10,000 cases of living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) recipient data to elucidate outcomes with special reference to the graft-versus-recipient weight ratio (GRWR), based on the Japanese Liver Transplantation Society (JLTS) registry. BACKGROUND The JLTS registry has been accurate and complete in characterizing and following trends in patient characteristics and survival of all patients with LDLT. METHODS Between November 1989 and August 2021, 10,000 patients underwent LDLT in Japan. The procedures performed during the study period included pediatric liver transplantation (age <18 years, n = 3572) and adult liver transplantation (age ≥18 years, n=6428). Factors related to patient survival (PS) and graft survival (GS) were also analyzed. RESULTS The GRWR was <0.7, 0.7 to <0.8, 0.8 to <3, 3 to <5, and ≥5 in 0.2%, 2.0%, 61.8%, 31.8%, and 2.6% of pediatric patients and <0.6, 0.6 to <0.7, 0.7 to <0.8, and ≥0.8 in 8.0%, 12.7%, 17.7%, and 61.5% of adult patients, respectively. Among pediatric recipients, the PS rate up to 5 years was significantly better in cases with a GRWR ≤5 than in those with a GRWR >5. When the GRWR and donor age were combined, among adult recipients 50 to 60 years old, the early PS and GS up to 5 years were significantly better in cases with a GRWR ≥0.7, than in those with a GRWR <0.7. (P = 0.02). In adults, a multivariate analysis showed that GRWR <0.6, transplant era (<2011), donor age (>60 years), recipient age (>60 years), model for end-stage liver disease score (≥20), and center volume (<10) were significant prognostic factors for long-term PS. CONCLUSION Although a satisfactory long-term PS and GS, especially in the recent era (2011-2021), was achieved in the JLTS series, a GRWR ≥5 in pediatric cases and relatively old donors with a GRWR <0.7 in adult cases should be managed with caution.

Impact of primary kidney disease on the effects of empagliflozin in patients with chronic kidney disease: secondary analyses of the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2024; 12:51-60.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although genome duplication, or polyploidization, is believed to drive cancer evolution and affect tumor features, its significance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unclear. We aimed to determine the characteristics of polyploid HCCs by evaluating chromosome duplication and to discover surrogate markers to discriminate polyploid HCCs. METHODS The ploidy in human HCC was assessed by fluorescence in situ hybridization for multiple chromosomes. Clinicopathological and expression features were compared between polyploid and near-diploid HCCs. Markers indicating polyploid HCC were explored by transcriptome analysis of cultured HCC cells. RESULTS Polyploidy was detected in 36% (20/56) of HCCs and discriminated an aggressive subset of HCC that typically showed high serum alpha-fetoprotein, poor differentiation, and poor prognosis compared to near-diploid HCCs. Molecular subtyping revealed that polyploid HCCs highly expressed alpha-fetoprotein but did not necessarily show progenitor features. Histological examination revealed abundant polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) with a distinct appearance and frequent macrotrabecular-massive architecture in polyploid HCCs. Notably, the abundance of PGCCs and overexpression of ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes 2C indicated polyploidy in HCC and efficiently predicted poor prognosis in combination. CONCLUSIONS Histological diagnosis of polyploidy using surrogate markers discriminates an aggressive subset of HCC, apart from known HCC subgroups, and predict poor prognosis in HCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Angiosarcoma of the scalp (AS) is a rare tumor and has often been treated by total scalp irradiation (TSI). TSI is a challenging technique because of the target close to the organs at risks (OARs), located in the skin surface, and helmet-shape of the target. We performed the dosimetric comparison of automated non-coplanar volumetric-modulated arc therapy (HA) and intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) in TSI for AS. MATERIALS/METHODS A planning study was performed on 20 patients with AS. The clinical target volume (CTV) 1 and CTV2 were defined as gross tumor volume with margin and entire scalp, respectively. For HA, planning target volume (PTV) 1 and PTV2 were defined as CTV1 and CTV2 with 5-mm margins, respectively. For IMPT, robust optimization was utilized which accounted for a 5-mm setup and a 3.5% range uncertainty and dose was prescribed to CTV1 robust and CTV2 robust. The prescription doses were 70 Gy and 56 Gy in 35 fractions to PTV1 (CTV1 robust) and PTV2 (CTV2 robust), respectively, using the simultaneous integrated boost technique. The HA plan was performed using a 6-MV photon beam machine and a 1-cm thick virtual bolus. The HA plan included three half non-coplanar and one full coplanar arc fields. The HA plan used collimator angles of 15°, 60°, 15°, and 120° in the beam with couch rotations of 0°, 45°, 90°, and 315°, respectively. The IMPT plan was performed using a compact proton beam machine dedicated to pencil beam scanning. The IMPT plan used gantry angles of 70°, 150°, 70°, 150°, and 30° in the beam with couch rotations of 0°, 0°, 180°, 180°, and 270°, respectively. The IMPT plan was optimized assuming a relative biological effectiveness of 1.1. The dose distribution and dosimetric parameters for each plan were evaluated. RESULTS All plans met the goals within the acceptable range in target volume coverage, conformity, and homogeneity. Table shows the dosimetric parameters of OARs in HA and IMPT plans. The doses receiving 0.1 cc of the volume for hippocampus, optic passway, eye, and lens in the IMPT plan were significantly lower than those in the HA plan. The IMPT plan showed a significant reduction in the percentage of brain volume receiving at least 5 Gy (V5 Gy) compared to the HA plan, while the HA plan showed a significant reduction of V10 Gy - V60 Gy and mean brain dose compared to the IMPT plan. The HA plan provided a shorter beam-on time (184 ± 9 s) than did the IMPT plan (446 ± 49 s). CONCLUSION The HA and IMPT plans demonstrated different strengths with respect to OARs sparing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) possess autoantibodies against biliary epithelial cells. However, the target molecules remain unknown. METHODS The sera of patients with PSC and controls were subjected to enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to detect autoantibodies using recombinant integrin proteins. Integrin αvβ6 expression in the bile duct tissues was examined using immunofluorescence. The blocking activity of the autoantibodies was examined using solid-phase binding assays. RESULTS Anti-integrin αvβ6 antibodies were detected in 49/55 (89.1%) patients with PSC and 5/150 (3.3%) controls (P < 0.001), with a sensitivity and specificity of 89.1% and 96.7%, respectively, for PSC diagnosis. When focusing on the presence or absence of IBD, the proportion of the positive antibodies in PSC with IBD was 97.2% (35/36) and that in PSC alone was 73.7% (14/19) (P = 0.008). Integrin αvβ6 was expressed in bile duct epithelial cells. Immunoglobulin (Ig)G from 15/33 patients with PSC blocked integrin αvβ6-fibronectin binding through an RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) tripeptide motif. CONCLUSIONS Autoantibodies against integrin αvβ6 were detected in most patients with PSC; anti-integrin αvβ6 antibody may serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker for PSC.

Abstract
Background and Aim The purpose of this study was to analyze factors associated with the overall survival (OS) of atezolizumab/bevacizumab combination therapy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC). We also assessed the OS of patients with ineffective therapy and those who discontinued treatment owing to adverse events (AEs). Methods This retrospective multicenter study involved 139 patients with aHCC who received atezolizumab/bevacizumab combination therapy between November 2020 and September 2022. Results The median duration of treatment was 136.5 days, and the median observation period was 316 days. The overall response rate was 40%, and the disease control rate was 78% according to mRECIST criteria. Grade ≥2 AEs occurred in 63 patients (43%) and led to treatment discontinuation in 16 patients. Multivariate analysis revealed that treatment response and occurrence of grade ≥2 AEs after therapy, as well as low level of albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade and low level of des-gamma carboxy prothrombin (DCP) before therapy, were extracted as factors that contributed to OS. Log-rank tests with the Kaplan-Meier method showed significant differences in OS among these factors. The OS of patients who discontinued owing to AEs was significantly shorter than that of other patients. Conclusion Not only factors before therapy but also treatment response and the appearance of AEs are involved in OS for atezolizumab/bevacizumab combination therapy. Although the development of AEs also contributed to OS, appropriate management of AEs is important to avoid discontinuing treatment with this combination.

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

Abstract
The community cat program (CCP) was recommended by the Ministry of the Environment to reduce cats in local animal shelters and improve stray cat welfare in Japan. It is a non-lethal control measure with stray cats cared for as free-roaming cats for their lifetime in the community, while Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) or Trap-Test-Vaccinate-Alter-Return-Monitor (TTVARM) activities are carried out. In the CCP, community cat colonies are hypothesized to be closed and static populations. However, it remains unknown whether the cats stay in the colonies, without migration of non-neutered cats following TNR/TTVARM events. We examined the population dynamics of cats before and after a TTVARM event using route censuses (107 days), fixed-point observations, and GPS-tracking in a tourist area in Onomichi. Eleven out of the 30 cats remained in the CCP areas, whereas 13 non-neutered cats immigrated into the CCP areas, within a year, suggesting the CCP program has limited efficacy. Besides, the program cannot support the lifetime management of the cats due rapid turnover of cats. Our results reject the CCP hypothesis, so that the program neither restricts cat breeding nor enhances cat welfare.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tertiary lymphoid structure (TLS) reflects an intense immune response against cancer, which correlates with favorable patient survival. However, the association of TLS with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and clinical outcomes has not been investigated comprehensively in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). METHODS We utilized an integrative molecular pathological epidemiology database on 162 cases with resected PDAC, and examined TLS in relation to levels of TILs, patient survival, and treatment response. In whole-section slides, we assessed the formation of TLS and conducted immunohistochemistry for tumor-infiltrating T cells (CD4, CD8, CD45RO, and FOXP3). As confounding factors, we assessed alterations of four main driver genes (KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A [p16], and SMAD4) using next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemistry, and tumor CD274 (PD-L1) expression assessed by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS TLSs were found in 112 patients with PDAC (69.1%). TLS was associated with high levels of CD4+ TILs (multivariable odds ratio [OR], 3.50; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.65-7.80; P = 0.0002), CD8+ TILs (multivariable OR, 11.0; 95% CI 4.57-29.7, P < 0.0001) and CD45RO+ TILs (multivariable OR, 2.65; 95% CI 1.25-5.80, P = 0.01), but not with levels of FOXP3+ TILs. TLS was associated with longer pancreatic cancer-specific survival (multivariable hazard ratio, 0.37; 95% CI 0.25-0.56, P < 0.0001) and favorable outcomes of adjuvant S-1-treatment. TLS was not associated with driver gene alterations but tumor CD274 negative expression. CONCLUSIONS Our comprehensive data supports the surrogacy of TLS for vigorous anti-tumor immune response characterized by high levels of helper and cytotoxic T cells and their prognostic role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The chemotherapeutic landscape for hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) has changed dramatically with the availability of several treatment options. This study aimed to assess the long-term outcomes of lenvatinib treatment and analyze its feasibility in the sequential treatment of HCCs. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty-five consecutive patients who received lenvatinib for unresectable HCCs were investigated retrospectively. Survival was assessed based on when the patients were first radiologically diagnosed with progressive disease. Among those with radiologically diagnosed stable or progressive disease at 3 months after lenvatinib administration, the cutoff α-fetoprotein (AFP) ratio (ratio of the AFP level after lenvatinib treatment to the pretreatment AFP level) that was predictive of survival was determined using receiver operating characteristic analysis. RESULTS The median survival time (MST) was significantly worse among patients diagnosed with progressive disease at 1 month after treatment than among those diagnosed at 2-3 or 3-4 months after treatment [MSTs at 1, 2-3, and 3-4 months: 2.2, 10.2, and 17.3 months, respectively (p<0.001)]. An AFP ratio of 1.36 (computed using the AFP level at 3 months after lenvatinib treatment) was significantly predictive of survival in patients with stable or progressive disease (26.3 vs. 11.3 months, p=0.0024). CONCLUSION The prognosis of patients on lenvatinib who develop early progressive disease is dismal. Thus, their treatment should be ceased or switched. The 3-month AFP ratio of 1.36 may be a potentially useful cutoff for considering a switch to other treatments in patients radiologically diagnosed with stable or progressive disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) concomitant with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is defined as PDAC occurring apart from IPMN. This study comprehensively investigated the molecular biologic characteristics of PDAC concomitant with IPMN in major genetic alterations, tumor microenvironment, and prognosis by contrast with those of conventional PDAC. METHODS The study retrospectively reviewed the data of 158 surgically resected PDAC patients. The driver gene alteration status (KRAS, TP53, CDKN2A, SMAD4, and GNAS) together with the immune and fibrotic status in tumor was evaluated. The prognosis of PDAC concomitant with IPMN and that of conventional PDAC also were compared. RESULTS No statistically significant difference was found between PDAC concomitant with IPMN and conventional PDAC in the alteration frequency analysis of the major driver genes and the immune and fibrotic status in the tumor microenvironment. Overall survival and disease-free survival between patients who had PDAC concomitant with IPMN and those who had conventional PDAC did not show statistically significant differences in propensity-matched subjects. Furthermore, the co-existence of IPMN was not a poor prognostic factor in the multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards model (hazard ratio, 0.95; 95 % confidence interval, 0.51-1.78). CONCLUSIONS In this study, PDAC concomitant with IPMN had tumor characteristics similar to those of conventional PDAC in terms of the major driver gene alterations, tumor microenvironment, and prognosis.

Abstract
BackgroundMyeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are heterogeneous immature myeloid cells with suppressive functions (1). It is known that MDSCs are expanded in inflammatory sites after migrating from bone marrow (BM) or spleen. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized as polyarthritis. Although previous reports indicate that MDSCs are increased in BM and spleen of arthritis model mice, detailed analysis of MDSCs in inflammatory joints is limited.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to characterize the MDSCs in the joints of autoimmune arthritis.MethodsWe isolated CD11b+Gr1+ cells as MDSCs from joints (Jo-MDSCs), bone marrow (BM-MDSCs) and spleen (Sp-MDSCs) of arthritis-induced SKG mice, and investigated differential expressed genes (DEGs) among MDSCs from three tissues by microarray expression analysis. Furthermore, we analyzed the suppressive function of each MDSCs by investigating the effect of them on T cell -proliferation and the osteoclast differentiation of each MDSCs stimulated by M-CSF and RANKL.ResultsMicroarray analysis revealed that Jo-MDSCs highly expressed immunosuppressive DEGs (Pdl1, Arg1, Egr2 and Egr3) compared to BM MDSCs or Sp MDSCs. In addition, Jo-MDCSs highly expressed NF-κB non-canonical pathway DEGs (Nfkb2 and Relb), which are related to osteoclast differentiation. BM-MDSCs differentiated into osteoclasts but didn’t suppress T cell-proliferation and Sp-MDSCs suppressed T cell-proliferation but didn’t differentiate into osteoclasts. On the other hand, Jo-MDSCs was found to have both functions: T cell suppression and osteoclast differentiation potential.ConclusionJo-MDSCs have a strong inhibitory effect on T cell proliferation and have the ability osteoclast differentiation potential.References[1]Veglia F, Perego M, Gabrilovich D.

Abstract
BackgroundButyric acid is known to improve chronic inflammation such as inflammatory bowel disease and arthritis [1, 2]. Dendritic cells activate in inflammatory condition, migrate to regional lymph nodes, and activate naive T cells.ObjectivesIn this study, we investigated the effect of butyric acid on the migration ability of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC).MethodsHuman CD14+ Monocytes were purified by positive selection from PBMC using CD14 magnetic beads. Cells were cultured in the presence of GM-CSF (50 ng/ml) and IL-4 (20 ng/ml) for 5 days. After culturing for 5 days, cells were matured with LPS (1ug/ml) for 24 hours. Butyric acid was administered at different dose or period. Surface antigen on moDC was analyzed by flow cytometry (BD FACS VERSE). Migration assay was performed on Boyden chamber CytoSelect 24-Well Cell Migration Assay (5um). Actin was stained with Alexa Fluor 488 Phalloidin before and after migration assay. After administration with butyric acid assigned to each period and concentration, moDC were lysed for western blot analysis for evaluating signaling. Chemiluminescent signals were detected and calculated by Amersham Imager.ResultsWe demonstrated that butyric acid decreased the CCR7 expression of moDC, which has a key role in DC homing to the lymph nodes and intestinal Peyer’s patches. We also showed that butyric acid decreased the migration ability of moDC. Furthermore, moDCs cultured with butyric acid showed a round shape and poor formation of dendrites and pseudopodia. Then we studied the effect of butyric acid on cytoskeleton, which plays an important role in migration and pseudopodia formation of DCs. Polymerized Actin (F-Actin) staining revealed that butyrate suppressed actin polymerization of moDC in a dose dependent manner. CDC42 works important role of lamellipodia and membrane protrusions. RhoA is upstream of mDia1, and mDia1 was reported to accelerate actin nucleation and elongation. We revealed that butyrate decreased the protein expression of mDia1, RhoA, and CDC42, while beta actin was not downregulated, by Western blot analysis. Our results suggested that butyric acid suppresses migration of moDCs by inhibiting mDia1-medicated actin polymerization.ConclusionButyric acid suppresses migration of moDCs by inhibiting mDia1-medicated actin polymerization.References[1]Mafalda R Couto 1, Pedro Gonçalves 2, Fernando Magro 3, Fátima Martel, et al.

Abstract
Background and Aim Molecular‐targeted therapies such as sorafenib and lenvatinib have long been used as first‐line treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (aHCC). However, adverse events or limited therapeutic effects may necessitate the change to another therapeutic option, known as post‐progression therapy. To investigate the significance of post‐progression therapy, we analyzed the outcomes of aHCC patients following first‐line molecular‐targeted therapy in a real‐world study. Methods This retrospective, multicenter study involved patients with aHCC who received sorafenib or lenvatinib as first‐line therapy between January 2011 and September 2021. Results In total, 513 patients were analyzed: 309 treated with sorafenib and 204 with lenvatinib. The overall response and disease control rates were 15 and 50%, respectively, in the sorafenib group and 30 and 75%, respectively, in the lenvatinib group (P < 0.001). Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed no significant differences in progression‐free survival and overall survival (OS) between the two treatments. Multivariate analysis revealed that fibrosis‐4 index, disease control rate, post‐progression therapy, and use of an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) were significantly associated with OS. OS was significantly longer in patients who received post‐progression therapy than in those who did not (log‐rank P < 0.001). Most patients who received an ICI as post‐progression therapy had previously received lenvatinib. Among lenvatinib‐treated patients, OS was significantly longer in patients who received an ICI than in patients received another or no post‐progression therapy (P = 0.004). Conclusion The introduction of newer drugs for post‐progression therapy is expected to prolong survival. ICI‐based regimens appear to be effective after lenvatinib.

Abstract
Resistant starch (RS) has been reported to improve steatosis as well as obesity. Type 4 resistant starch (RS4), a chemically modified starch, is particularly hard to digest and suggesting higher efficacy. However, because the effects of RS4 on steatosis are not yet fully understood, the effects of RS4 on steatosis were examined using a murine high-fat diet model. Seven-week-old male mice were divided into three groups and fed a normal diet, a high-fat diet (HFD), or a high-fat diet with added RS (HFD + RS). Amylofiber SH® produced from acid-treated corn starch was used as the dietary RS. At 22 weeks old, hepatic steatosis and short chain fatty acid (SCFA) content and gut microbiota in cecum stool samples were analyzed. The ratio of body weight to 7 weeks was significantly suppressed in the HFD + RS group compared to the HFD group (132.2 ± 1.4% vs. 167.2 ± 3.9%, p = 0.0076). Macroscopic and microscopic steatosis was also suppressed in the HFD + RS group. Analysis of cecum stool samples revealed elevated SCFA levels in the HFD + RS group compared with the HFD group. Metagenome analysis revealed that Bifidobacterium (17.9 ± 1.9% vs. 3.6 ± 0.7%, p = 0.0019) and Lactobacillus (14.8 ± 3.4% vs. 0.72 ± 0.23%, p = 0.0045), which degrade RS to SCFA, were more prevalent in the HFD + RS group than the HFD group. In conclusion, RS4 suppressed steatosis, and increased Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus, and SCFAs. RS4 may prevent steatosis by modulating the intestinal environment.

Abstract
Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a risk factor for gastric cancer following infection with Helicobacter pylori. To explore the susceptibility of pure gastric IM to cancer development, we investigated genetic alterations in single IM gastric glands. We isolated 50 single IM or non-IM glands from the inflamed gastric mucosa of 11 patients with intramucosal gastric carcinoma (IGC) and 4 patients without IGC; nineteen single glands in the non-inflamed gastric mucosa of 11 individuals from our cohort and previous dataset were also included as controls. Whole exome sequencing of single glands revealed significantly higher accumulation of somatic mutations in various genes within IM glands compared with non-IM glands. Clonal ordering analysis showed that IM glands expanded to form clusters with shared mutations. Additionally, targeted-capture deep sequencing and copy number (CN) analyses were performed in 96 clustered IM or non-IM gastric glands from 26 patients with IGC. CN analyses were also performed on 41 IGC samples and the Cancer Genome Atlas-Stomach Adenocarcinoma datasets. These analyses revealed that polyclonally expanded IM commonly acquired copy number aberrations (CNA), including amplification of chromosomes 8, 20, and 2. A large portion of clustered IM glands typically consisted of common CNAs rather than other cancer-related mutations. Moreover, the CNA patterns of clustered IM glands were similar to those of IGC, indicative of precancerous conditions. Taken together, these findings suggest that, in the gastric mucosa inflamed with H. pylori infection, IM glands expand via acquisition of CNAs comparable to those of IGC, contributing to field cancerization.

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

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) developing after hepatitis C virus (HCV) eradication is a serious clinical concern. However, molecular basis for the hepatocarcinogenesis after sustained virologic response (SVR) remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to unveil the transcriptomic profile of post-SVR liver tissues and explore the molecules associated with post-SVR carcinogenesis. We analysed 90 RNA sequencing datasets, consisting of non-cancerous liver tissues including 20 post-SVR, 40 HCV-positive and 7 normal livers, along with Huh7 cell line specimens before and after HCV infection and eradication. Comparative analysis demonstrated that cell cycle- and mitochondrial function-associated pathways were altered only in HCV-positive non-cancerous liver tissues, whereas some cancer-related pathways were up-regulated in the non-cancerous liver tissues of both post-SVR and HCV-positive cases. The persistent up-regulation of carcinogenesis-associated gene clusters after viral clearance was reconfirmed through in vitro experiments, of which, CYR61, associated with liver fibrosis and carcinogenesis in several cancer types, was the top enriched gene and co-expressed with cell proliferation-associated gene modules. To evaluate whether this molecule could be a predictor of hepatocarcinogenesis after cure of HCV infection, we also examined 127 sera from independent HCV-positive cohorts treated with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), including 60 post-SVR-HCC patients, and found that the elevated serum Cyr61 was significantly associated with early carcinogenesis after receiving DAA therapy. In conclusion, some oncogenic transcriptomic profiles are sustained in liver tissues after HCV eradication, which might be a molecular basis for the liver cancer development even after viral clearance. Among them, up-regulated CYR61 could be a possible biomarker for post-SVR-HCC.

Abstract
The "community cat program (CCP)" is a non-lethal control measure in which stray cats are owned and cared for as community cats at high welfare standards, while the Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) or Trap-Test-Vaccinate-Alter-Return-Monitor (TTVARM) event is performed. The program is recommended by the Ministry of the Environment in Japan. Here, we evaluated the health status of community cats inhabiting a tourist area in Onomichi City. A medical check was conducted on 30 community cats as a part of the TTVARM event. The following health problems were identified: alopecia, gingivitis, incisor teeth loss, anemia, and urine glucose. An ELISA (the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) showed that 16.7% of the cats were FIV-positive. The cats were also carriers of zoonoses (Capnocytophaga genus (100%) and Bartonella henselae (ITS, nested; 38.0%)), which pose a risk to tourists and residents. Our findings suggest that most cats require medical treatment. We recommend that friendly cats should be adopted rather than maintained as community cats and that a comprehensive review of the CCP is required.

Abstract
Most hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) develop on the basis of chronic hepatitis, but the mechanism of epigenetic regulation in inflammatory hepatocarcinogenesis has yet to be elucidated. Among de novo DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), DNMT3B has lately been reported to act specifically on actively transcribed genes, suggesting the possibility that it plays a role in the pathogenesis of cancer. We confirmed that DNMT3B isoforms lacking its catalytic domain were highly expressed in HCCs compared with non-tumorous liver tissue. To elucidate the role of DNMT3B in hepatocarcinogenesis, we generated a genetically engineered mouse model with hepatocyte-specific Dnmt3b deletion. The liver of the Dnmt3b-deficient mice exhibited an exacerbation of thioacetamide-induced hepatitis, progression of liver fibrosis and a higher incidence of HCC compared with the liver of the control mice. Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing verified a lower CG methylation level in the Dnmt3b-deficient liver, demonstrating differentially methylated regions throughout the genome. Transcriptome analysis revealed decreased expression of genes related to oxidative phosphorylation in the Dnmt3b-deficient liver. Moreover, primary hepatocytes isolated from the Dnmt3b-deficient mice showed reduced mitochondrial respiratory capacity, leading to the enhancement of oxidative stress in the liver tissue. Our findings suggest the protective role of DNMT3B against chronic inflammation and HCC development via maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis.

Abstract
PURPOSE The risk factors and clinical characteristics of ICI-induced immune-mediated hepatotoxicity (IMH) are not fully understood. Thus, the present study sought to clarify the clinical features of IMH. METHODS All patients treated with ICIs between September 2014 and April 2019 at our institution were included. Clinical data were retrospectively collected from medical records. The frequency of grade ≥ 2 liver damage, clinical characteristics, and risk factors for developing IMH were examined. RESULTS Overall, 250 patients (median age 71 years; range 30-87 years; 202 males and 48 females) were included in the analyses. Forty-five patients had elevated transaminase levels (> threefold the upper limit of normal). Of these, 21 were considered to have IMH. The remaining 24 patients had other causes of elevated transaminase levels. Steroids were administered to 13/21 patients with IMH. Although all patients exhibited improvement, IMH was not associated with the anticancer efficacy of the ICIs or OS. A multivariable analysis revealed that IMH was significantly associated with malignant melanoma (odds ratio [OR] 11.6; 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.5-38.0; P = 0.0002) and ipilimumab-nivolumab combination therapy (OR 61.2; 95% CI 7.9-1275.3; P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Immune-mediated hepatotoxicity occurred in 9.5% of patients treated with ICIs. Appropriate therapeutic interventions are important to avoid affecting the patient's prognosis, and accurate diagnosis of IMH is essential for this purpose. The frequency of IMH varied according to the type of cancer and the drug used, and was significantly higher in patients with malignant melanoma and in patients given ipilimumab-nivolumab combination therapy.

Abstract
Portal vein thrombosis is caused by various diseases, including liver cirrhosis, cancer, abdominal infection, and myeloproliferative disorders. Essential thrombocythemia is one of the myeloproliferative disorders in which the bone marrow produces excessive amount of platelets and can be accompanied by various thrombotic diseases; however, essential thrombocythemia with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis has not been reported yet. We herein report a case of extensive portal vein thrombosis due to essential thrombocythemia with limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis. A 49-year-old woman was referred to our hospital due to liver dysfunction. Extended portal vein thrombosis, splenomegaly, and thrombocytosis were founded. The examination of Janus kinase 2 V617F mutation in the bone marrow was positive. These findings resulted in the diagnosis of portal vein thrombosis due to essential thrombocythemia. Furthermore, Raynaud's phenomenon, finger's sclerosis, and positive anti-centromere antibody led to limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis. To further analyze the causal relationship between essential thrombocythemia and limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis, platelet-derived growth factor was examined. High level of serum platelet-derived growth factor, possibly caused by high platelet count due to essential thrombocythemia, was observed. As platelet-derived growth factor has been reportedly associated with the occurrence of systemic sclerosis, the present case indicates the possible causal link between essential thrombocythemia and limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis through high platelet-derived growth factor.

Abstract
Background
Polymer- and carrier-free Biolimus-A9-coated stent (DCS) is expected better vascular healing compared with conventional durable polymer drug-eluting stents (DES). Moreover, DCS had been demonstrated in clinical trials to allow one-month short dual antiplatelet therapy, which might achieve sufficient healing at only 1 month after implantation. However, the process of vascular healing after DCS implantation has not been elucidated by angioscopic observation.
Purpose
To evaluate the process of vascular healing at 1 month and 12 months after DCS implantation.
Methods
This study included 57 patients treated with DCS or durable polymer everolimus-eluting stents (EES) in our hospital from April 2017 to April 2019. Firstly, the angioscopic findings of DCS at 1 month (n=16) and 12 months (n=14) after implantation were respectively compared with EES at 12 months after implantation (EES-12, n=35) as a standard healing status of DES. Secondary, angioscopic findings of DCS at 1 month and 12 months after implantation were compared among the serially observed eight patients. Neointimal coverage (NIC) grade, yellow colour grade, and the presence of thrombus were evaluated. NIC grade was classified as grade 0 (no neointimal coverage), grade 1 (struts were bulged into lumen but covered), grade 2 (struts were embedded in the neointima but visible), or grade 3 (struts were fully embedded and invisible). Yellow colour grade was classified as grade 0 (white), grade 1 (light yellow), grade 2 (yellow), or grade 3 (intensive yellow).
Results
At 1 month after DCS implantation, dominant NIC grade was lower (0.3±0.5 vs. 1.5±0.7, p<0.001) and the frequency of thrombus was higher (38% vs. 6%, p=0.008) than EES-12. On the other hands, at 12 months after DCS implantation, dominant NIC grade was higher (2.1±0.6 vs. 1.5±0.7, p=0.013) and the frequency of thrombus was not different (7% vs. 6%, p=1.000) in comparison with EES-12. By serial observation of DCS, dominant NIC grade was higher at 12 months than at 1 month (2.3±0.5 vs. 0.4±0.5, p<0.001), while yellow colour grade (1.0±0.5 vs. 1.5±1.2, p=0.227) and the frequency of thrombus adhesion (0% vs. 38%, p=0.200) were not different.
Conclusion
Compared with EES-12, vascular healing of DCS was inferior at 1 month but superior at 12 months.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a progressive disease characterized by cardiac remodeling, hyperdynamic contraction, and impaired ventricular filling that can lead to dynamic left-ventricular outflow-track (LVOT) obstruction and exertional intolerance. Direct myosin-inhibition with mavacamten can normalize contractility and improve exercise capacity in patients with oHCM, providing sustained symptomatic relief. However, mavacamten can also improve ventricular filling by limiting residual cross-bridges during diastole, and therefore, may offer cardiac benefits beyond obstruction reprieve. This study leveraged a feline model of oHCM, cats with the A31P MYBPC3 variant, to study the acute in vivo effects of MYK-581, a mavacamten surrogate, on cardiac hemodynamics and filling.
Methods
A31P-homozygous cats with HCM (A31P, n=10) and wild-type healthy controls (CTRL, n=9) were anesthetized and instrumented for invasive pressure-volume (PV) measurements as well as trans-thoracic echocardiographic recording. A subset of cats were assigned to receive either vehicle (VEH, n=7) or MYK-581 (MYK, n=8) with a short IV infusion. Cardiac hemodynamics, function, and geometry were assessed at steady state before and during dobutamine challenges (2.5 μg/kg/min IV).
Results
A31P cats had thicker ventricular walls (6.4±0.1 vs. 5.2±0.2 mm, P<0.05) and hyperdynamic contraction (FS: 61±4 vs. 50±3%, P<0.05) relative to controls and presented with dynamic LVOT obstruction in 54% of cases. HCM cats had elevated end-diastolic pressures (17±1.4 vs. 9±1.0 mmHg, P<0.05), with prolonged time constants of relaxation (60±4.1 vs. 36±2.4 ms, P<0.05) and elevated end-diastolic stiffness (Eed: 0.44±0.06 vs. 0.25±0.01 mmHg/mL). Acute treatment with MYK-581 alleviated LVOT obstruction (0% vs. 38%), normalized contractility (FS: −7±2%), and increased systolic/diastolic chamber dimensions (e.g., LVIDd: +13±4%) (all P<0.05), while reducing EDP (15±2 to 13±2 mmHg, P<0.05), suggesting acute improvement in ventricular distensibility. Indeed, MYK-581 treatment reduced end-diastolic stiffness (Eed: 0.48±0.11 vs. 0.36±0. 10 mmHg/mL, P<0.05) and normalized trans-mitral motion patterns during filling.
Conclusions
Bred cats, homozygous for the A31P MYBPC3 variant, presented a cardiac phenotype that models multiple characteristics of the human oHCM phenotype including dynamic LVOT obstruction. Acute treatment with the mavacamten surrogate, MYK-581, not only alleviated hypercontractility and LVOT obstruction, but improved ventricular filling and end-diastolic pressures. Taken together, these pre-clinical observations show potential salutary effects beyond obstruction relief in patients with HCM.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Neighborhood grocery stores, such as supermarkets (SM) and convenience stores (CVS), have received attention as a determinant of a food purchase behavior. Previous studies reported that grocery store entry or closure was associated with regional populations. This study examines the association of types of SM (i.e. cross-regional, local, or small chain stores), CVS, and household demographics in the cities, towns and villages (having its own incorporated government) in Hiroshima and Okayama Prefectures, Japan.
Methods
We hypothesized that the entry and closure of SM, CVS are associated with the regional population and type of family household from interview surveys with supermarket and wholesale operators. We collected data on SM and CVS from Large-Scale Retail Store Data in Japan, while data on demographics and households were collected from the census. Data sets from 59 municipalities (city, town, ward, and village) and 49 SM chains (498 stores) and 8 CVS chains (1235 stores) were analyzed using multiple regression analysis.
Results
Some household factors showed significant associations with the number of SM and CVS at the municipality level. Those municipalities with a greater number of extended families and single households had significantly more “cross-regional” as well as “local chain SM” stores. Those municipalities with more nuclear families had significantly more “small chain SM” and fewer “local chain SM” stores. Those municipalities with more single households had significantly fewer SM stores.
Conclusions
In these prefectures, population declining and single household increasing are expected over the coming decades. If no political interventions are allowed on this issue, some of “food desert” may emerge for the hundreds of thousands people living in these areas; elderly people may not get fresh vegetables in their neighborhood, and young parents will have to drive for hours to “cross-regional SM” to buy fresh milk for their children.
Key messages
Supermarkets and convenience stores are determinant of a food purchase behavior. The association of the number of types of SM, CVS, and demographic and household factors.

Abstract
Background:Immunometabolism is now recognaized to be crucial in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We have recently shown that the expression of glutaminase 1 (GLS1), a key enzyme in glutaminolysis, is upregulated in fibroblast-like synoviocytes from RA patients (RA-FLS) and that GLS1 inhibition suppresses RA-FLS proliferation (1). However, glutaminolysis has been known to suppress autophagy by activating mTORC1 or counteracting ROS production (2). Given the possibility of autophagy upregulation following glutamiolysis inhibition, therapies targeting both autophagy and glutaminolysis may be more effective in suppressing cell growth of RA-FLS, yet the relation between glutaminolysis and autophagy in RA-FLS has not been investigated.Objectives:To examine the effects of inhibiting both glutaminolysis and autophagy on RA-FLS and autoimmune arthritis in SKG mice.Methods:GLS1 inhibitor, compound 968 (C968), was used to suppress glutaminolysis, and Chloroquine (CQ) was used to inhibit autophagy. To detect autophagy, the expression of ATG5 and LC3B was measured by real-time PCR and the production of LC3-II was analyzed by Western blotting. The formation of autophagic vacuoles was identified by immunfluorescense. Cell growth was evaluated by BrdU assay. Apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry staining with Annexin V-FITC and PI. C968 and CQ were administered subcutaneously to Zymosan A-injected SKG mice.Results:C968 upregulated the expression of ATG5 and LC3B, and increased the protein level of LC3-II in RA-FLS. C968 also facilitated autophagosome formation. These results suggested that inhibition of glutaminolysis promoted autophagy in RA-FLS. The combined treatment with C968 and CQ significantly suppressed cell proliferation of RA-FLS more strongly than did C968 or CQ alone. In addition, C968 combined with CQ increased the apoptosis rate, whereas either C968 or CQ alone did not. Furthermore, combination of C968 and CQ significantly attenuated the degree of arthritis in SKG mice, while C968 or CQ monotherapy did not (Figure).Conclusion:The GLS1 inhibitor C968 promotes autophagy in RA-FLS. C968 in combination with CQ reduces proliferation and enhances apoptosis in RA-FLS, and ameliorates the arthritis in SKG mice. Suppressing C968-induced autophagy may be a promising therapy for arthritis.References:[1] Takahashi S., et al. Arthritis Res Ther. 2017 Apr 11;19(1):76.[2] Villar VH., et al.

Abstract
Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients present with variable clinical features ranging from mild joint and skin involvement to life-threatening organ involvement such as nephritis, neuropsychiatric involvement, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). HLH is rare, but fatal complication of SLE. Recently, European League Against Rheumatism, the American College of Rheumatology, and the Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization was to develop a set of classification criteria for MAS complicating systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (PRINTO criteria) [1]. Sung Soo Ahn and his colleagues reported PRINTO criteria predicted mortality of adult SLE patient, but they followed only one year [2].Objectives:To reveal association PRINTO criteria with long term mortalities in SLE patient in our Hospital.Methods:We performed a retrospective analysis of SLE patients who received moderate dose glucocorticoid therapy (>0.4mg/kg/d) in our hospital between April 2008 and April 2019. Patients were evaluated for HLH using the 2016 PRINTO classification criteria for MAS. Clinical features and laboratory findings were compared and overall survival rate was analyzed.Results:Among 164 episode (144 patients) with SLE, 31 episode (31 patients) 5.2% were considered to have MAS on admission.The overall survival rate was significantly lower in patients with MAS than without MAS (86.2% vs. 95.3%, p = 0.048). Interestingly, SLEDAI had no association with mortality, relapse rate, and MAS complication. SLEDAI more focused on renal and neuropsychiatric symptoms than hematologic features. So SLEDAI might not be associated with MAS secondary to SLE. Furthermore, we observed no death patient with MAS after one year, and only 1 case relapse in MAS patient. So MAS might have fatal but less relapsing property compared with other lupus cases.Conclusion:PRINTO criteria may be useful to differentiated fatal MAS patients from others. Further investigations are required to confirm our findings.Limitation The main limitations of our study include its retrospective design, single center site, and that the number of admitted patients with SLE was small.Limitation:The main limitations of our study include its retrospective design, single center site, and that the number of admitted patients with SLE was small.Limitation:Limitation The main limitations of our study include its retrospective design, single center site, and that the number of admitted patients with SLE was small.References:[1]Wulffraat N, Schneider R, Filipovic L, et al. 2016 Classification Criteria for Macrophage Activation Syndrome Complicating Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

Abstract
Aims The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro effects of apocynin, an inhibitor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX) and a downregulator of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), on high glucose-induced oxidative stress on tenocytes. Methods Tenocytes from normal Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured in both control and high-glucose conditions. Apocynin was added at cell seeding, dividing the tenocytes into four groups: the control group; regular glucose with apocynin (RG apo+); high glucose with apocynin (HG apo+); and high glucose without apocynin (HG apo–). Reactive oxygen species production, cell proliferation, apoptosis and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of NOX1 and 4, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were determined in vitro. Results Expression of NOX1, NOX4, and IL-6 mRNA in the HG groups was significantly higher compared with that in the RG groups, and NOX1, NOX4, and IL-6 mRNA expression in the HG apo+ group was significantly lower compared with that in the HG apo– group. Cell proliferation in the RG apo+ group was significantly higher than in the control group and was also significantly higher in the HG apo+ group than in the HG apo– group. Both the ROS accumulation and the amounts of apoptotic cells in the HG groups were greater than those in the RG groups and were significantly less in the HG apo+ group than in the HG apo– group. Conclusion Apocynin reduced ROS production and cell death via NOX inhibition in high-glucose conditions. Apocynin is therefore a potential prodrug in the treatment of diabetic tendinopathy.

Abstract
Hepatitis-associated aplastic anemia (HAAA) is a variant of acquired aplastic anemia and characterized by bone marrow failure that follows the development of acute hepatitis. We herein report a rare case of HAAA with rapid progression of liver fibrosis due to repeated hepatitis. A pathological examination of liver specimens revealed liver fibrosis progression over a short period. Immunosuppressive therapy with cyclosporine effectively cured both the pancytopenia and hepatitis. Our case suggests that the pathological examination of the liver tissue is useful for determining a treatment plan and that immunosuppressive therapy is a promising treatment for both aplastic anemia and persistent hepatitis.

Abstract
AIM Diagnosis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), which recurs in approximately 30% of liver transplant recipients, is histology-based, but no staging system has been established for recurrent PBC (rPBC). We used the Nakanuma staging system and cytokeratin 7 (CK7) staining to examine post-transplant liver biopsy specimens retrospectively and to evaluate histological features of rPBC. METHODS From 107 patients who underwent living donor liver transplantation for PBC, 60 recipients with 214 liver biopsies after 1-year post transplant were enrolled. Fibrosis, bile duct loss (BL), cholangitis activity, hepatitis activity, and CK7-positive hepatocytes were scored. Nakanuma staging was based on fibrosis and BL scores. We examined the correlation of scores and clinicolaboratory data among rPBC patients. We also evaluated whether chronological change of stage was correlated with liver-related failure. RESULTS Of 214 biopsies, 52 were protocol biopsy; 162 were episodic. Higher BL, cholangitis activity, and hepatitis activity scores were associated with rPBC diagnosis. At median follow up of 10.0 years (range 1.4-18.7 years), 29 (48%) patients were diagnosed with rPBC at 4.6 years (range 1.3-14.5 years). Liver-related failure occurred in five rPBC cases; three from rPBC, and two from chronic rejection. At rPBC diagnosis, higher BL and CK7 scores were more frequent in patients who developed liver-related failure than in other patients (P = 0.04, P < 0.01, respectively). In failure patients, the Nakanuma stage increased over time, and reached up to stage 4, whereas the Scheuer stage did not reach above stage 3. CONCLUSIONS Nakanuma staging is associated with rPBC and disease progression. Scores for BL and CK7 might be early markers for progressive rPBC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although transthoracic Doppler echocardiography is widely used for estimating left ventricular stroke volume (SV), accelerated blood flow in the left ventricular (LV) outflow tract may lead to overestimation. SV can be calculated accurately from left ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic volume determined by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). However, radiation exposure as well as the use of contrast medium hampers its routine use.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine whether the correction of SV measured by pulsed wave Doppler echocardiography (SVdop) can accurately predicts SV obtained by MDCT (SVct).
Methods: We enrolled consecutive 61 patients who underwent both MDCT and transthoracic echocardiography. Patients with moderate or severe valvular diseases and valve replacement surgery were excluded. Correction of SV was explored with SVct as a reference.
Results: Univariate analysis showed that SVdop (r = 0.42, P = 0.0007) and patient age (r=-0.50, P < 0.0001) were significantly correlated with SVct. On the other hand, left ventricular ejection fraction calculated by Teicholz method (EFteich) (r = 0.19, P = 0.14), systolic blood pressure (r = 0.07, P = NS), and LV mass index (r=-0.02, P = NS) were not correlated with SVct. Multivariate analysis showed that SVdop, patient age and EFteich were the independent predictive factors for SVct (R2 = 0.49, P < 0.0001). Based on these correlations, we postulated SV as: corrected SV = SVdop × 0.40 + EFteich × 0.46 – age × 0.67 + 44.77. As expected, the correlation between corrected SV and SVct significantly improved (r = 0.70, P < 0.0001). Bland-Altman plot analysis showed that corrected SV significantly reduced the variation between SVdop and SVct, and diminished the overestimation of SVdop (Figure).
Conclusion: The new correction formula of SVdop may correct the overestimation of SV obtained by pulsed wave Doppler echocardiography, although the formula remains to be validated in a separate cohort of patients.
