Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between the combination of platelet count and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (COP-NLR) at the time of adverse events during sunitinib treatment and prognosis is unclear, and prognostic models combining the prognostic factors of sunitinib have not been well studied. Thus, we developed a prognostic model that includes the COP-NLR to predict the prognosis of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with sunitinib. METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of 102 patients treated with sunitinib for mRCC between 2008 and 2020 in three hospitals associated with Showa University, Japan. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). The collected data included baseline patient characteristics, adverse events, laboratory values, and COP-NLR scores within the first 6 weeks of sunitinib treatment. Prognostic factors of OS were analyzed using the Cox proportional hazards model. The integer score was derived from the beta-coefficient (β) of these factors and was divided into three groups. The survival curves were visualized using the Kaplan-Meier method and estimated using a log-rank test. RESULTS The median OS was 32.3 months. Multivariable analysis showed that the number of metastatic sites, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center risk group, number of metastases, non-hypertension, modified Glasgow Prognostic Score, and 6-week COP-NLR were significantly associated with OS. A higher 6-week COP-NLR was significantly associated with a shorter OS (p < 0.001). The β values of the five factors for OS were scored (non-hypertension, mGPS, and 6-week COP-NLR = 1 point; number of metastatic sites = 2 points; MSKCC risk group = 3 points) and patients divided into three groups (≤ 1, 2-3, and ≥ 4). The low-risk (≤ 1) group had significantly longer OS than the high-risk (≥ 4) group (median OS: 99.0 vs. 6.2 months, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that the COP-NLR within the first 6 weeks of sunitinib treatment had a greater impact on OS than the COP-NLR at the start of sunitinib treatment. The developed prognostic model for OS, including the 6-week COP-NLR, will be useful in decision-making to continue sunitinib in the early treatment stage of patients with mRCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the largest avascular low-nutrient intervertebral disc, resident cells would utilize autophagy, a stress-response survival mechanism by self-digestion and recycling wastes. Our goal was to elucidate the involvement of autophagy in disc homeostasis through RNA interference of autophagy-related gene 5 (Atg5). DESIGN In vitro, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting autophagy-essential Atg5 were transfected into rat disc cells. Cell viability with levels of autophagy including Atg5 expression, apoptosis, and senescence was assessed under serum starvation and/or pro-inflammatory interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) stimulation. In vivo, time-course autophagic flux was monitored following Alexa Fluor® 555-labeled Atg5-siRNA injection into rat tail discs. Furthermore, 24-h temporary static compression-induced disruption of Atg5 siRNA-injected discs was observed by radiography, histomorphology, and immunofluorescence. RESULTS In disc cells, three different Atg5 siRNAs consistently suppressed autophagy with Atg5 protein knockdown (mean 44.4% [95% confidence interval: -51.7, -37.1], 51.5% [-80.5, -22.5], 62.3% [-96.6, -28.2]). Then, Atg5 knockdown reduced cell viability through apoptosis and senescence not in serum-supplemented medium (93.6% [-0.8, 21.4]) but in serum-deprived medium (66.4% [-29.8, -8.6]) further with IL-1β (44.5% [-36.9, -23.5]). In disc tissues, immunofluorescence detected intradiscal signals for the labeled siRNA even at 56-d post-injection. Immunoblotting found 56-d autophagy suppression with prolonged Atg5 knockdown (33.2% [-52.8, -5.3]). With compression, Atg5 siRNA-injected discs presented radiographic height loss ([-43.9, -0.8]), histological damage ([-5.5, -0.2]), and immunofluorescent apoptosis ([2.2, 22.2]) and senescence ([4.1, 19.9]) induction compared to control siRNA-injected discs at 56 d. CONCLUSIONS This loss-of-function study suggests Atg5-dependent autophagy-mediated anti-apoptosis and anti-senescence. Autophagy could be a molecular therapeutic target for degenerative disc disease.

Abstract
Macroautophagy is a catabolic process critical for the degradation of intracellular material, but its physiological functions in vertebrates are not fully understood. Here, we discuss our recent finding that macroautophagy plays a role in lamellar body maturation. The lamellar body is a lysosome-related organelle and stores phospholipid-containing surfactant complexes that reduce the surface tension of the air-water interface in order to inflate the airspace in lungs and swim bladders. In the epithelial cells of these organs, autophagosomes fuse with immature lamellar bodies to increase their size and lipid contents. This function is essential for respiration after birth in mice and for maintaining buoyancy in zebrafish. These findings unveil a novel function of macroautophagy in the maturation of surfactant-containing lamellar bodies.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) signaling is a highly conserved signaling module that plays a central role in a myriad of physiological processes, ranging from cell proliferation to cell death, via various signaling pathways, including MAPK signaling. Stress granules (SGs) are non-membranous cytoplasmic foci that aggregate in cells exposed to environmental stresses. Here, we explored the role of SGs in PKC/MAPK signaling activation in fission yeast. High-heat stress (HHS) induced Pmk1 MAPK activation and Pck2 translocation from the cell tips into poly(A)-binding protein (Pabp)-positive SGs. Pck2 dispersal from the cell tips required Pck2 kinase activity, and constitutively active Pck2 exhibited increased translocation to SGs. Importantly, Pmk1 deletion impaired Pck2 recruitment to SGs, indicating that MAPK activation stimulates Pck2 SG translocation. Consistently, HHS-induced SGs delayed Pck2 relocalization at the cell tips, thereby blocking subsequent Pmk1 reactivation after recovery from HHS. HHS partitioned Pck2 into the Pabp-positive SG-containing fraction, which resulted in reduced Pck2 abundance and kinase activity in the soluble fraction. Taken together, these results indicate that MAPK-dependent Pck2 SG recruitment serves as a feedback mechanism to intercept PKC/MAPK activation induced by HHS, which might underlie PKC-related diseases.

Abstract
Dual-specificity phosphatase 6 (DUSP6) is a key negative feedback regulator of the member of the RAS-ERK MAPK signaling pathway that is associated with cellular proliferation and differentiation. Deterioration of DUSP6 expression could therefore result in deregulated growth activity. We have previously discovered ACA-28, a novel anticancer compound with a unique property to stimulate ERK phosphorylation and induce apoptosis in ERK-active melanoma cells. However, the mechanism of cancer cell-specific-apoptosis by ACA-28 remains obscure. Here, we investigated the involvement of DUSP6 in the mechanisms of the ACA-28-mediated apoptosis by using the NIH/3T3 cells overexpressing HER2/ErbB2 (A4-15 cells), as A4-15 exhibited higher ERK phosphorylation and are more susceptible to ACA-28 than NIH/3T3. We showed that A4-15 exhibited high DUSP6 protein levels, which require ERK activation. Notably, the silencing of the DUDSP6 gene by siRNA inhibited proliferation and induced apoptosis in A4-15, but not in NIH/3T3, indicating that A4-15 requires high DUSP6 expression for growth. Importantly, ACA-28 preferentially down-regulated the DUSP6 protein and proliferation in A4-15 via the proteasome, while it stimulated ERK phosphorylation. Collectively, the up-regulation of DUSP6 may exert a growth-promoting role in cancer cells overexpressing HER2. DUSP6 down-regulation in ERK-active cancer cells might have the potential as a novel cancer measure.

Abstract
FTY720, a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) analog, is used as an immune modulator to treat multiple sclerosis. Accumulating evidence has suggested the mode of action of FTY720 independent of an S1P modulator. In fission yeast, FTY720 induces an increase in intracellular Ca2+ and ROS levels. We have previously identified 49 genes of which deletion causes FTY720 sensitivity. Here, we characterized the FTY720-sensitive mutants in terms of their relevance to the Ca2+ homeostasis and identified the 16 FTY720- and Ca2+ -sensitive mutants (fcs mutants). Most of the FTY720-sensitive mutants showed elevated Ca2+ levels and exhibited Ca2+ dysregulation by FTY720 treatment. One of the functional categories among the genes whose deletion renders cells susceptible to FTY720 and Ca2+ include the Golgi/endosomal membrane trafficking. Notably, FTY720, but not phosphorylated FTY720 incapable of inducing Ca2+ increase, inhibited the secretion of acid phosphatase in the wild-type cells. Importantly, secretory defects of the Golgi/endosomal trafficking mutants, Vps45, or Ryh1 deletion, were further exacerbated by FTY720. Our fcs mutant screen also identified the adenylyl cyclase-associated protein Cap1 and a Rictor homolog Ste20, whose deletion markedly exacerbated FTY720-sensitive secretory impairment. Collectively, our data may suggest a synergistic impact of FTY720 combined with secretion perturbation on proliferation and Ca2+ homeostasis.

Abstract
Droplet microfluidics has become a powerful tool in precision medicine, green biotechnology, and cell therapy for single-cell analysis and selection by virtue of its ability to effectively confine cells. However, there remains a fundamental trade-off between droplet volume and sorting throughput, limiting the advantages of droplet microfluidics to small droplets (<10 pl) that are incompatible with long-term maintenance and growth of most cells. We present a sequentially addressable dielectrophoretic array (SADA) sorter to overcome this problem. The SADA sorter uses an on-chip array of electrodes activated and deactivated in a sequence synchronized to the speed and position of a passing target droplet to deliver an accumulated dielectrophoretic force and gently pull it in the direction of sorting in a high-speed flow. We use it to demonstrate large-droplet sorting with ~20-fold higher throughputs than conventional techniques and apply it to long-term single-cell analysis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on their growth rate.

Abstract
Lipoproteins are lipid-protein complexes that are primarily generated and secreted from the intestine, liver, and visceral endoderm and delivered to peripheral tissues. Lipoproteins, which are assembled in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, are released into the ER lumen for secretion, but its mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we show that the release of lipoproteins from the ER membrane requires VMP1, an ER transmembrane protein essential for autophagy and certain types of secretion. Loss of vmp1, but not other autophagy-related genes, in zebrafish causes lipoprotein accumulation in the intestine and liver. Vmp1 deficiency in mice also leads to lipid accumulation in the visceral endoderm and intestine. In VMP1-depleted cells, neutral lipids accumulate within lipid bilayers of the ER membrane, thus affecting lipoprotein secretion. These results suggest that VMP1 is important for the release of lipoproteins from the ER membrane to the ER lumen in addition to its previously known functions.

Abstract
The treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) usually involves a combination of anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory drugs. We recently found that mepenzolate bromide (1) and its derivative, 3-(2-hydroxy-2, 2-diphenylacetoxy)-1-(3-phenoxypropyl)-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromide (5), have both anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory activities. We chemically modified 5 with a view to obtain derivatives with both anti-inflammatory and longer-lasting bronchodilatory activities. Among the synthesized compounds, (R)-(-)-12 ((R)-3-(2-hydroxy-2,2-diphenylacetoxy)-1-(3-phenylpropyl)-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bromide) showed the highest affinity in vitro for the human muscarinic M3 receptor (hM3R). Compared to 1 and 5, (R)-(-)-12 exhibited longer-lasting bronchodilatory activity and equivalent anti-inflammatory effect in mice. The long-term intratracheal administration of (R)-(-)-12 suppressed porcine pancreatic elastase-induced pulmonary emphysema in mice, whereas the same procedure with a long-acting muscarinic antagonist used clinically (tiotropium bromide) did not. These results suggest that (R)-(-)-12 might be therapeutically beneficial for use with COPD patients given the improved effects seen against both inflammatory pulmonary emphysema and airflow limitation in this animal model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that integrates nutrients to execute cell growth. We hypothesized that mTOR is influential in the intervertebral disc-largest avascular, low-nutrient organ. Our objective was to identify the optimal mTOR inhibitor for treating human degenerative disc disease. DESIGN mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) regulates p70/ribosomal S6 kinase (p70/S6K), negatively regulates autophagy, and is controlled by Akt. Akt is controlled by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2). mTORC1 inhibitors-rapamycin, temsirolimus, everolimus, and curcumin, mTORC1&mTORC2 inhibitor-INK-128, PI3K&mTOR inhibitor-NVP-BEZ235, and Akt inhibitor-MK-2206-were applied to human disc nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. mTOR signaling, autophagy, apoptosis, senescence, and matrix metabolism were evaluated. RESULTS mTORC1 inhibitors decreased p70/S6K but increased Akt phosphorylation, promoted autophagy with light chain 3 (LC3)-II increases and p62/sequestosome 1 (p62/SQSTM1) decreases, and suppressed pro-inflammatory interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)-induced apoptotic terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) positivity (versus rapamycin, 95% confidence interval (CI) -0.431 to -0.194; temsirolimus, 95% CI -0.529 to -0.292; everolimus, 95% CI -0.477 to -0.241; curcumin, 95% CI -0.248 to -0.011) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and caspase-9 cleavage, senescent senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) positivity (versus rapamycin, 95% CI -0.437 to -0.230; temsirolimus, 95% CI -0.534 to -0.327; everolimus, 95% CI -0.485 to -0.278; curcumin, 95% CI -0.210 to -0.003) and p16/INK4A expression, and catabolic matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) release and activation. Meanwhile, dual mTOR inhibitors decreased p70/S6K and Akt phosphorylation without enhanced autophagy and suppressed apoptosis, senescence, and matrix catabolism. MK-2206 counteracted protective effects of temsirolimus. Additional disc-tissue analysis found relevance of mTOR signaling to degeneration grades. CONCLUSION mTORC1 inhibitors-notably temsirolimus with an improved water solubility-but not dual mTOR inhibitors protect against inflammation-induced apoptosis, senescence, and matrix catabolism in human disc cells, which depends on Akt and autophagy induction.

Abstract
The standard treatment for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a combination of anti-inflammatory drugs and bronchodilators. We recently found that mepenzolate bromide (MP), an antagonist for human muscarinic M3 receptor (hM3R), has both anti-inflammatory and short-acting bronchodilatory activities. To obtain MP derivatives with longer-lasting bronchodilatory activity, we synthesized hybrid compounds based on MP and two other muscarinic antagonists with long-acting bronchodilatory activity glycopyrronium bromide (GC) and aclidinium bromide (AD). Of these three synthesized hybrid compounds (MP-GC, GC-MP, MP-AD) and MP, MP-AD showed the highest affinity for hM3R and had the longest lasting bronchodilatory activity, which was equivalent to that of GC and AD. Both MP-GC and MP-AD exhibited an anti-inflammatory effect equivalent to that of MP, whereas, in line with GC and AD, GC-MP did not show this effect. We also confirmed that administration of MP-AD suppressed elastase-induced pulmonary emphysema in a mouse model. These findings provide important information about the structure-activity relationship of MP for both bronchodilatory and anti-inflammatory activities.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a new therapeutic strategy for taxane/platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian and primary peritoneal cancers, we evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of irinotecan and gemcitabine combination chemotherapy. METHODS Patients with taxane/platinum-resistant/refractory cancer received escalating doses of irinotecan and gemcitabine (level 1: 80 and 800 mg/m2, respectively; level 2: 100 and 1000 mg/m2) on days 1 and 8 on a 21-day cycle. Genotyping for UGT1A1*6 and *28 polymorphisms was performed for possible adverse irinotecan sensitivity. RESULTS A total of 35 patients were enrolled. The recommended dose was defined as 100 mg/m2 irinotecan and 1000 mg/m2 gemcitabine (level 2). The observed common grade 3/4 toxicities were neutropenia (60%), anemia (17.1%), diarrhea (8.6%), thrombocytopenia (5.7%) and nausea (5.7%). Groups homozygous for UGT1A1*6 or *28 were associated with grade 3/4 neutropenia and diarrhea. Objective responses were 20%, including one complete response and six partial responses. In 29 patients treated with the recommended dose, the median progression-free survival and overall survival were 3.8 months (95% CI 2.1-6.0 months) and 17.4 months (95% CI 9.9-21.9 months), respectively, while the 1-year survival rate was 58.6%. CONCLUSIONS Combination chemotherapy with irinotecan and gemcitabine represents a safe and effective treatment combination for taxane/platinum-resistant/refractory ovarian and primary peritoneal cancers.

Abstract
HLA 1-locus-mismatched unrelated donors (1MMUD) have been used in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for patients who lack an HLA-matched donor. We retrospectively analyzed 3313 patients with acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who underwent bone marrow transplantation from an HLA allele-matched unrelated donor (MUD) or 1MMUD between 2009 and 2014. We compared the outcomes of MUD (n=2089) and 1MMUD with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) (1MM-ATG(+); n=109) with those of 1MMUD without ATG (1MM-ATG(-); n=1115). The median total dose of ATG (thymoglobulin) was 2.5 mg/kg (range 1.0-11.0 mg/kg) in the 1MM-ATG(+) group. The rates of grade III-IV acute GvHD, non-relapse mortality (NRM) and overall mortality were significantly lower in the MUD group than in the 1MM-ATG(-) group (hazard ratio (HR) 0.77, P=0.016; HR 0.74; P<0.001; and HR 0.87, P=0.020, respectively). Likewise, the rates of grade III-IV acute GVHD, NRM and overall mortality were significantly lower in the 1MM-ATG(+) group than in the 1MM-ATG(-) group (HR 0.42, P=0.035; HR 0.35, P<0.001; and HR 0.71, P=0.042, respectively). The outcome of allo-HCT from 1MM-ATG(-) was inferior to that of allo-HCT from MUD even in the recent cohort. However, the negative impact of 1MMUD disappeared with the use of low-dose ATG without increasing the risk of relapse.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) involves alveolar epithelial injury and abnormal collagen production caused by activated fibroblasts; transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 is implicated in this activation. In this study, we screened for chemicals capable of inhibiting TGF-β1-induced collagen production in cultured fibroblasts from medicines already in clinical use. We selected felodipine based on its extent of collagen production inhibition, clinical safety profile, and other pharmacological activity. Felodipine is a dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel blocker that has been used clinically to treat patients with high blood pressure. Felodipine suppressed collagen production within LL29 cells in the presence of TGF-β1, but not in its absence. Intratracheal administration of felodipine prevented bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, alteration of lung mechanics and respiratory dysfunction. Felodipine also improved pulmonary fibrosis, as well as lung and respiratory function when administered after fibrosis development. Furthermore, administration of felodipine suppressed a bleomycin-induced increase in activated fibroblasts in the lung. We also found other dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel blockers (nifedipine and benidipine) inhibited collagen production in vitro and partially prevented bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, alteration of lung mechanics and respiratory dysfunction in vivo. We propose that these Ca2+ channel blockers may be therapeutically beneficial for IPF patients.

Abstract
[(18) F]-Fluorodeoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) is known to be highly accurate in differentiating benign lesions from malignant lesions. In rare cases, benign tumours, viral infections and sarcoidosis of the skin have been reported to show FDG uptake, but the mechanism remains unclear. Here we report the first documented case of seborrhoeic keratosis (SK) showing increased FDG uptake. FDG PET-CT can be used to detect enhanced glycolysis of tumour cells by measuring increased levels of glucose transporters (GLUTs) indicative of higher glucose uptake. GLUT1 and GLUT3 expression in this case was compared with that in PET-negative SK and two normal skin samples using quantitative polymerase chain reaction with paraffin-embedded tissue. The expression of GLUT1 and GLUT3 was higher in PET-positive SK than in PET-negative SK or normal skin. More specifically, the expression of GLUT3 was observed only in the PET-positive case. This study revealed that high GLUT1 and GLUT3 expression in SK might be associated with the uptake of FDG.

Abstract
The MAPK cascade is a highly conserved signaling module composed of MAPK/MAPKK/MAPKKK. MAPKKK Mkh1 is an initiating kinase in Pmk1 MAPK signaling, which regulates cell integrity in fission yeast. Our genetic screen for regulators of Pmk1 signaling identified Skb5 (Shk1 kinase binding protein 5), an SH3 domain-containing adaptor protein. Here, we showed that Skb5 serves as an inhibitor of Pmk1 MAPK signaling activation by downregulating Mkh1 localization to cell tips via its interaction with the SH3 domain. Consistently, the Mkh13PA mutant protein, with impaired Skb5 binding, remained in the cell tips, even when Skb5 was overproduced. Intriguingly, Skb5 needs Mkh1 to localize to the growing ends as Mkh1 deletion and disruption of Mkh1 binding impairs Skb5 localization. Deletion of Pck2, an upstream activator of Mkh1, impaired the cell tip localization of Mkh1 and Skb5 as well as Mkh1/Skb5 interaction. Interestingly, both Pck2 and Mkh1 localized to the cell tips at the G1/S phase, which coincided with Pmk1 MAPK activation. Altogether, Mkh1 localization to cell tips is important for transmitting upstream signaling to Pmk1 and Skb5 spatially regulates this process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bloodstream infections (BSI) are frequently observed after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), and could cause morbidity and mortality. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the incidence, characteristics of, and risk factors for BSI at both pre- and post-engraftment in 209 adult HSCT patients at our institute between June 2006 and December 2013. The median age at transplantation was 45 years (range, 15-65). A total of 122 patients received bone marrow, 68 received peripheral blood stem cells, and 19 received umbilical cord blood. RESULTS The cumulative incidences of pre- and post-engraftment BSI were 38.9% and 17.2%, respectively. Nine patients had both pre- and post-engraftment BSI. In the pre- and post-engraftment periods, respectively, 67.4% and 84.1% of isolates were gram-positive bacteria (GPB), 28.3% and 11.4% were gram-negative bacteria (GNB), and 4.3% and 4.5% were fungi. Coagulase-negative staphylococci were the most commonly isolated GPB, while Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were the most commonly isolated GNB. Pre-engraftment BSI was associated with an increased risk of death. Overall survival at day 180 for patients with or without pre-engraftment BSI was 70.0% and 82.7%, respectively (P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Risk factors for BSI in the pre-engraftment period were the interval between diagnosis and transplantation (261 days or more), engraftment failure, and high-risk disease status at HSCT in a multivariate analysis. No significant risk factor for BSI in the post-engraftment period was identified by a univariate analysis. These findings may be useful for deciding upon empiric antibacterial treatment for HSCT recipients.

Abstract
We compared the expected medical costs of empirical and preemptive treatment strategies for invasive fungal infection in neutropenic patients with hematological diseases. Based on the results of two clinical trials with different backgrounds reported by Oshima et al. [J Antimicrob Chemother 60(2):350-355; Oshima study] and Cordonnier et al. [Clin Infect Dis 48(8):1042-1051; PREVERT study], we developed a decision tree model that represented the outcomes of empirical and preemptive treatment strategies, and estimated the expected medical costs of medications and examinations in the two strategies. We assumed that micafungin was started in the empirical group at 5 days after fever had developed, while voriconazole was started in the preemptive group only when certain criteria, such as positive test results of imaging studies and/or serum markers, were fulfilled. When we used an incidence of positive test results of 6.7 % based on the Oshima study, the expected medical costs of the empirical and preemptive groups were 288,198 and 150,280 yen, respectively. Even in the case of the PREVERT study, in which the incidence of positive test results was 32.9 %, the expected medical costs in the empirical and preemptive groups were 291,871 and 284,944 yen, respectively. A sensitivity analysis indicated that the expected medical costs in the preemptive group would exceed those in the empirical group when the incidence of positive test results in the former was over 34.4 %. These results suggest that a preemptive treatment strategy can be expected to reduce medical costs compared with empirical therapy in most clinical settings.

Abstract
In unrelated hematopoietic SCT (HSCT), HLA allele mismatch has been shown to have a significant role. To clarify the importance of HLA allele mismatch in the GVH direction in related HSCT, we retrospectively evaluated 2377 patients who received stem cells from an HLA serologically matched related donor in the GVH direction using the database of the Japan Society for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation. The cumulative incidences of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute GVHD in patients with an HLA allele-mismatched donor (n=133, 5.6%) were significantly higher than those in patients with an HLA allele-matched donor. Multivariate analyses showed that the presence of HLA allele mismatch was associated with increased risks of grade II-IV and grade III-IV acute GVHD. In particular, HLA-B mismatch and multiple allele mismatches were associated with an increased risk of acute GVHD. The presence of HLA allele mismatch was associated with an inferior OS owing to an increased risk of non-relapse mortality (NRM). In conclusion, the presence of HLA allele mismatch in the GVH direction in related HSCT was associated with increased risks of GVHD and NRM, which led to an inferior OS. HLA allele typing is recommended in related HSCT.

Abstract
To clarify the effect of killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) ligand incompatibility on outcomes of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients in complete remission after single cord blood transplantation (CBT), we assessed the outcomes of CBT registered in the Japan Society for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (JSHCT) database. A total of 643 acute leukemia (357 AML and 286 ALL) patient and donor pairs were categorized according to their KIR ligand incompatibility by determining whether or not they expressed HLA-C, Bw4 or A3/A11 by DNA typing. A total of 128 patient–donor pairs were KIR ligand-incompatible in the graft-versus-host (GVH) direction and 139 patient–donor pairs were incompatible in the host-versus-graft (HVG) direction. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed no significant differences between the KIR ligand-incompatible and compatible groups in the GVH direction for both AML and ALL patients of overall survival, disease-free survival, relapse incidence, non-relapse mortality and acute GVH disease. However, KIR incompatibility in the HVG direction ameliorated engraftment in ALL patients (hazard ratio 0.66, 95% confidence interval 0.47–0.91, P=0.013). Therefore, there were no effects of KIR ligand incompatibility in the GVH direction on single CBT outcomes for acute leukemia patients without anti-thymocyte globulin use. However, it is necessary to pay attention to KIR incompatibility in the HVG direction for engraftment.

Abstract
Severe adverse events (SAE) and late hematological malignancies have been reported after PBSC donation. No prospective data on incidence and risk factors have been available for family donors so far. The Japan Society for Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation (JSHCT) introduced therefore in 2000 a mandatory registration system. It defined standards for donor eligibility and asked harvest centers to report any SAE immediately. All donors were examined at day 30 and were to be contacted once each year for a period of 5 years. Acute SAEs within day 30 were reported from 47/3264 donations (1.44%) with 14 events considered as unexpected and severe (0.58%). No donor died within 30 days. Late SAEs were reported from 39/1708 donors (2.3%). The incidence of acute SAEs was significantly higher among donors not matching the JSHCT standards (P=0.0023). Late hematological malignancies in PBSC donors were not different compared with a retrospective cohort of BM donors (N:1/1708 vs N:2/5921; P=0.53). In conclusion, acute and late SAEs do occur in PBSC donors at relatively low frequency but risk factors can be defined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, acyclovir (ACV) at 1000 mg/day is widely used as prophylaxis in the early phase of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in Japan. However, low-dose ACV (200 mg/day) has been shown to prevent varicella zoster virus reactivation in the middle and late phases of HSCT. METHODS Therefore, in this study, we decreased the dose of ACV to 200 mg/day in the early phase after HSCT. We analyzed 93 consecutive herpes simplex virus (HSV)-seropositive patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT for the first time in our center between June 2007 and December 2011. RESULTS Before August 2009, 38 patients received oral ACV at 1000 mg/day (ACV1000) until day 35 after HSCT, whereas 55 patients received oral ACV at 200 mg/day (ACV200) after September 2009. We compared the cumulative incidence of HSV infection in the 2 groups. Oral ACV was changed to intravenous administration because of intolerance in 66% and 45% of the patients in the ACV1000 and ACV200 groups, respectively (P = 0.060). The probability of severe stomatitis (Bearman grade II-III) was 76% and 60% in the ACV1000 and ACV200 groups, respectively (P = 0.12). The number of patients who developed HSV disease before day 100 after HSCT was 0 in the ACV1000 group and 2 in the ACV200 group, with a cumulative incidence of 3.6% (P = 0.43). HSV disease in the latter 2 patients was limited to the lips and tongue and was successfully treated with ACV or valacyclovir at a treatment dose. CONCLUSION ACV at 200 mg/day appeared to be effective for preventing HSV disease in the early phase after HSCT.

Abstract
Although there are many commercially available statistical software packages, only a few implement a competing risk analysis or a proportional hazards regression model with time-dependent covariates, which are necessary in studies on hematopoietic SCT. In addition, most packages are not clinician friendly, as they require that commands be written based on statistical languages. This report describes the statistical software 'EZR' (Easy R), which is based on R and R commander. EZR enables the application of statistical functions that are frequently used in clinical studies, such as survival analyses, including competing risk analyses and the use of time-dependent covariates, receiver operating characteristics analyses, meta-analyses, sample size calculation and so on, by point-and-click access. EZR is freely available on our website (http://www.jichi.ac.jp/saitama-sct/SaitamaHP.files/statmed.html) and runs on both Windows (Microsoft Corporation, USA) and Mac OS X (Apple, USA). This report provides instructions for the installation and operation of EZR.

Abstract
AIM We investigated the molecular mechanisms by which vildagliptin preserved pancreatic β cell mass and function. METHODS Morphological, biochemical and gene expression profiles of the pancreatic islets were investigated in male KK-A(y) -TaJcl(KK-A(y) ) and C57BL/6JJcl (B6) mice aged 8 weeks which received either vildagliptin or a vehicle for 4 weeks. RESULTS Body weight, food intake, fasting blood glucose, plasma insulin and active glucagon-like peptide-1 were unchanged with vildagliptin treatment in both mice. In KK-A(y) mice treated with vildagliptin, increased plasma triglyceride (TG) level and islet TG content were decreased, insulin sensitivity significantly improved, and the glucose tolerance ameliorated with increases in plasma insulin levels. Furthermore, vildagliptin increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, islet insulin content and pancreatic β cell mass in both strains. By vildagliptin, the expression of genes involved in cell differentiation/proliferation was upregulated in both strains, those related to apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress and lipid synthesis was decreased and those related to anti-apoptosis and anti-oxidative stress was upregulated, in KK-A(y) mice. The morphological results were consistent with the gene expression profiles. CONCLUSION Vildagliptin increases β cell mass by not only directly affecting cell kinetics but also by indirectly reducing cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress in diabetic mice.
