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
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
BackgroundThe mortality rate of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease (RMD) is as high as approximately 10% [1]. Therefore, vaccination promotion is a critical issue. However, there are few reports on the psychological aspects of patient vaccine acceptance.ObjectivesTo investigate the intention of patients with RMD to receive the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine and explore the psychological factors related to vaccine acceptance.MethodsWe conducted a questionnaire-based survey of 406 outpatients with RMD at Shiga General Hospital from July to October 2021. The questionnaire included the following sections: (1) vaccination status; (2) expectation of susceptibility to severe COVID-19; (3) expectation of vaccine efficacy; and (4) anxiety about the vaccine, which included concerns on I) the diminishing effect of the vaccine due to current treatment and II) the influence of vaccination on: i) primary disease status, ii) treatment, and iii) adverse reaction.ResultsThere were 305 vaccinated and 101 unvaccinated individuals. Unvaccinated individuals were classified into the acceptance group (n=60) and hesitancy group (n=41) according to their vaccination status (Figure 1).Figure 1.SARS-CoV-2 vaccination status (n=406)We compared the backgrounds and awareness of the patients on vaccination between the two groups. Univariate analysis did not show any difference in the backgrounds. The expectation of susceptibility to severe COVID-19 was similar in both groups. There were also no significant differences in the vaccine-related anxiety levels. However, the expectation of vaccine efficacy was higher in the acceptance group and significantly influenced vaccination intention as revealed by multivariate analyses (Table 1).Table 1.Awareness towards COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine associated with vaccination intentionAwareness towards COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 vaccineAcceptance(N=60)Hesitancy(N=41)UnivariateAnalysis§Multivariate Analysis||Median[IQR]Median[IQR]p-valuep-valueExpectation of susceptibility to severe COVID-19*2.0[1.0-3.0]2.0[1.5-2.5]0.84720.3440Expectation of vaccine efficacy†3.0[3.0-3.0]2.0[1.0-3.0]<0.0001¶<0.0001**Concerns about the diminishing effect of the vaccine due to current treatment‡2.0[1.0-3.0]3.0[2.0-3.0]0.04750.3600Concerns about the effect of vaccination on treatment‡3.0[1.0-3.0]3.0[2.0-4.0]0.01280.6232Concern about the effect of vaccination on primary disease status‡3.0[1.0-3.0]3.0[2.0-3.0]0.05760.7134Concern about the effect of vaccination on adverse reaction‡3.0[3.0-3.0]3.0[3.0-4.0]0.00930.8335*0: Less likely to become severe~3: Very likely to become severe, †0: Not expected at all~4: Highly expected, ‡0: Not concerned at all ~4:Very concerned§Pearson’s chi-square test or Wilcoxon test, ||Nominal logistic regression analysis, ¶ p<0.008 (after Bonferroni correction), ** p<0.05.ConclusionThe perception of vaccine efficacy is strongly correlated with vaccine acceptance.

Abstract
While the preS1 region of the large hepatitis B surface protein plays an essential role in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the effect of preS1 on liver fibrosis and hepatocarcinogenesis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients is not well known. In this study, we measured serum preS1 levels by chemiluminescent immunoassay technology in 690 CHB patients and evaluated the correlation between serum preS1 levels and HBV, liver function markers and liver inflammation, fibrosis assessed by histological findings. Predictive factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development in patients who had no previous history of HCC at the time of preS1 level measurement were also analysed. Median hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and preS1 levels were 3.08 log IU/mL and 98 ng/mL, respectively. PreS1 values were significantly correlated with serum HBsAg (p <0.001), hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg) (p <0.001) and HBV DNA levels (p <0.01). PreS1 values were also significantly correlated with serum alanine aminotransferase levels (p <0.001) and were significantly higher in patients who had higher grading of liver inflammatory activity (p <0.05). HBsAg level was correlated, but preS1/HBsAg ratio reflected liver fibrosis staging more directly than HBsAg alone. Multivariate analysis identified age ≥53 years (hazard ratio [HR], 18.360 for <53 years; p = 0.021) and preS1/HBsAg ratio ≥0.12 (HR, 6.205 for <0.12; p = 0.040) as significant and independent factors for HCC development in CHB patients. The preS1/HBsAg ratio directly reflects liver fibrosis, and the ratio might be a predictive marker for HCC development in CHB patients.

Abstract
Objective Lusutrombopag is a thrombopoietin receptor agonist that improves thrombocytopenia in patients with chronic liver disease scheduled to undergo invasive procedures. However, information on the efficacy of repeated lusutrombopag treatment and factors associated with the treatment is scarce. We analyzed the efficacy of repeated lusutrombopag treatment and the factors associated with a response to lusutrombopag. Methods Thirty-nine patients with chronic liver disease who received lusutrombopag treatment before undergoing invasive procedures were enrolled in this retrospective study. Of the 39 patients, 10 received lusutrombopag treatment multiple times for a total of 53 regimens of lusutrombopag treatment. Changes in platelet counts, the effects of repeated lusutrombopag treatment, and factors associated with response to lusutrombopag were analyzed. Results The median platelet count increased significantly from 4.5×104/μL before lusutrombopag treatment to 7.2×104/μL before the invasive procedure (p<0.01), and patients undergoing 49 of the 53 (92%) treatment regimens succeeded in undergoing invasive procedures without needing platelet transfusions. In patients who received lusutrombopag treatment repeatedly, the median platelet count significantly increased following the second administration of lusutrombopag, and the effects of lusutrombopag were similar between the first and second administration. A multivariate analysis identified the absence of diabetes mellitus (odds ratio, 5.56 for presence; p=0.04) as a significant and independent predictor of a response to lusutrombopag. Conclusion Lusutrombopag treatment significantly increased platelet counts in patients with chronic liver disease, making it possible to receive invasive procedures. The treatment produced identical effects when it was repeated. The efficacy of lusutrombopag might be decreased in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The most important prognostic factor for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is liver fibrosis. The aim of this study is to examine clinical parameters involved in pathological progression in NASH patients who underwent repeated liver biopsy and to analyze the response to treatment with respect to NASH-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We performed longitudinal analysis of genetic and clinical factors associated with progression of NASH. METHODS Eighty NASH patients who had undergone serial liver biopsies were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. Histological exacerbation was determined based on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score (NAS) and liver fibrosis. RESULTS About 22.5% had progression of fibrosis, 22.5% had improvement of fibrosis, and 55.0% had no change. NAS increased in 12.5%, decreased in 61.3%, and remained stable in the remaining 26.3%. We examined factors associated with histological progression versus non-progression. Poor response of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, increase in HbA1c levels, and presence of the tumor necrosis factor risk allele in the rs1799964 SNP were identified as independent risk factors contributing to histological progression in NASH patients. In addition, we found that the histological progression rate varies with ALT response, HbA1c levels, and rs1799964 genotype. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we clarified the serum ALT level and the clinical significance of HbA1c to evaluate the progression of fibrosis in Japanese NASH patients. Furthermore, the tumor necrosis factor SNP was more likely to be involved in the response than PNPLA3 SNP. By simultaneously evaluating three factors, it is possible to estimate the risk of histological progression more accurately.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and aim
Few studies have clarified the seasonal and age-related change of serum osmolarity and water intake, which is thought to be associated with heat stroke and ischemic stroke. We investigated the association between them in a healthy population.
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study using database from Kobe Orthopedic and Biomedical Epidemiologic (KOBE) Study. Among 1138 healthy Japanese participants in the baseline survey, 1010 (women 704 and men 306) participants were eligible for the present study. Daily non-alcohol drink (NAD) intake was estimated according to food frequency questionnaire. Alcohol beverage and water in the meal or soup were excluded from the counting. Serum osmolarity (Osm/L) was calculated by Worthley’s formula: 2 (serum sodium (mEq/L)) + (blood urea nitrogen (mg/dL))/2.8 + (glucose (mg/dL))/18. The seasons the surveys were conducted were categorized into 4 groups, March-May (Spring), June-August (Summer), September-November (Autumn), and December-February (Winter). The association between serum osmolarity and daily NAD intake was analyzed using linear regression models.
Results
The seasonal change was observed in the serum osmolarity and daily NAD intake; serum osmolarity increased in spring and summer and daily NAD intake increased in summer. The serum osmolarity increased by aging in any seasons, while daily water intake didn’t. There was no significant association observed between serum osmolarity and the daily NAD intake, even after adjusting for sex, age, and season.
Conclusions
Serum osmolarity showed seasonal and age-related changes, but the serum osmolarity in subjects who had the daily habit of high NAD intake was not necessarily low.
Key messages
Serum osmolarity increased by aging and in spring and summer. Serum osmolarity was not associated with non-alcohol drink intake.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tapering immunosuppressants is desirable in patients with well-controlled myasthenia gravis (MG). However, the association between tapering of calcineurin inhibitor dosage and reduction-associated exacerbation is not known. The aim of this study was to clarify the frequency of reduction-associated exacerbation when tacrolimus is tapered in stable patients with anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive MG, and to determine the factors that predict exacerbations. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 115 patients in whom tacrolimus dosage was tapered. The reduction-associated exacerbation was defined as the appearance or worsening of one or more MG symptoms <3 months after the reduction. RESULTS Tacrolimus dosage was successfully tapered in 110 patients (96%) without any exacerbation. Five patients (4%) experienced an exacerbation, but symptoms were reversed in all patients when the tacrolimus dose was increased to the previous maintenance level. No patient developed an MG crisis. The age at onset was significantly earlier (30 vs. 56 years, P = 0.025) and the reduction in dosage was significantly larger (2.0 vs. 1.0 mg/day, P = 0.002) in patients with reduction-associated exacerbation than in those without exacerbation. The cut-off values determined in a receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis were 52 years (sensitivity, 57%; specificity, 100%) for the age at onset and 1.5 mg (sensitivity, 80%; specificity, 100%) for the dose reduction. CONCLUSION Tapering of tacrolimus was possible in most patients with well-controlled anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive MG. Early age at onset and a large reduction from maintenance dosage were associated with exacerbation. Reductions ≤1.5 mg/day from the maintenance dosage should be considered for patients with late-onset disease.

Abstract
Although the effect of levocarnitine (L-carnitine) on hyperammonemia has been reported in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), its effect on sarcopenia remains to be elucidated. We assessed the effects of L-carnitine on sarcopenia in patients with LC. We retrospectively evaluated 52 patients with LC who were treated with L-carnitine for more than 3 months between February 2013 and June 2017. Computed tomography was used to measure the cross-sectional area of the skeletal muscles at the level of the third lumbar vertebra. The relative change in skeletal muscle index (SMI) per year (ΔSMI/year) was computed in each patient. We evaluated the relationship between ΔSMI/year and various parameters, such as age, sex, liver functional reserve, and dose of L-carnitine. The median ΔSMI/year for all patients was -0.22%. The ΔSMI/year values in Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were not significantly different among the three groups. There was no significant relationship between ΔSMI/year and sex, age, body mass index, and sarcopenia. Multivariate analysis showed that only a high dose of L-carnitine (odds ratio [OR], 4.812; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.233-18.784; P = 0.024) was associated with increased muscle mass. The L-carnitine high-dose group included a significantly larger number of patients with increased muscle mass compared with the low-dose group (OR, 3.568; 95% CI, 1.138-11.185; P = 0.027). Administration of L-carnitine led to a significant and gradual reduction in serum ammonia levels. Conclusion: L-carnitine seems to suppress the progression of sarcopenia dose dependently, and this was noted to be associated with the improvement of hyperammonemia in patients with LC.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) between 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based continuous infusion chemotherapy and low-dose cisplatin (CDDP) monotherapy in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS Patients were grouped according to HAIC regimen (5-FU group, n = 317/CDDP group, n = 66). A two-to-one match was created using propensity score analysis (5-FU group, n = 102/CDDP group, n = 51). After matching, response rate (RR) and adverse events as primary end-points, and survival and progression-free survival as secondary end-points, were analyzed. RESULTS In the analysis of primary end-points, the RR in the 5-FU group was significantly higher than in the CDDP group (32.4% vs. 15.7%, P = 0.033). In patients with a Child-Pugh (CP) score of 5-7, the RR in the 5-FU group was significantly higher than that in the CDDP group (36.1% vs. 15.4%, P = 0.020). In those with a CP score of 8-9, there was no significant difference in RR between the two groups (15.8% vs. 16.6%, P = 1.000). The reservoir system-related complications were 9.8% in the 5-FU group, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of grade 3/4 adverse events between the two matched groups (P > 0.05). In terms of secondary end-points, the median survival time was 9.1 and 8.7 months for the 5-FU and CDDP groups, respectively (P = 0.4917). Progression-free survival was 3.9 months for the 5-FU group and 4.9 months for the CDDP group (P = 0.4). CONCLUSIONS 5-Fluorouracil-based continuous infusion chemotherapy could be suitable for advanced HCC patients with a CP score of 5-7 considering the treatment response.

Abstract
AIM As second-line therapy, regorafenib has been shown to provide a survival benefit for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who progress on sorafenib. In this retrospective study, we assessed the clinical outcomes of sorafenib treatment failure with regard to second-line chemotherapy. METHODS Patients (n = 160) with advanced HCC, Child-Pugh A liver function and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) 0-1 treated with sorafenib between June 2009 and September 2016 were enrolled. Among 147 patients with progressive disease (PD), we defined those with Child-Pugh A liver function and ECOG PS 0-1 at progression as candidates for second-line chemotherapy and those who had tolerated sorafenib (≥400 mg/day for ≥20 of the last 28 days of treatment) as candidates eligible for regorafenib treatment. RESULTS Among all 160 patients, median overall survival was 10 months, and median progression-free survival was 3.5 months. Among the 147 patients with PD, 74 (50.3%) were candidates for second-line chemotherapy, and 45 (30.6%) were eligible for regorafenib treatment. The median post progression survival of the candidates for second-line chemotherapy (8.8 months) was statistically longer (P = 0.0002) than that of the non-candidates (3.6 months). Predictive factors for candidates were absence of macroscopic vascular invasion (MVI) (odds ratio [OR], 0.39; P = 0.009) and serum albumin >3.5 g/dL (OR, 3.3; P = 0.005) at sorafenib initiation. CONCLUSION Among patients with PD on sorafenib, approximately 30% were eligible for regorafenib treatment, whereas few patients with MVI or hypoalbuminemia at sorafenib initiation were eligible for regorafenib treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
A brief background discussion.
Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) has been developed under the concept of improved drug delivery. nab-PTX has been shown to significantly increase progression-free survival compared with solvent-based paclitaxel (PTX) in metastatic breast cancer. However, the long-term outcomes of nab-PTX induced peripheral neuropathy (nPIPN) have not yet been fully elucidated.
Trial design: observational cohort study (UMIN20852)
Primary objective: The long-term outcome of nPIPN
Secondary objectives
(1)The validity of the Neuropathic Pain Screening Questionnaire (Japan–Q, Ishikawa et al. Pain Research 2016 )
(2) To evaluate the effect of frozen gloves and elastic stockings for nPIPN
nPIPN was assessed by the Japan-Q (J-Q) and Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events ver 4.0 (CTC). The J-Q is an assessment tool for patient-reported pain severity, which consists of seven items, each rated on a five-point scale 0-4; grade 0 (no symptoms) to grade 4 (verysevere symptoms). Pricking pain, electric shock pain, burn like pain, tingling pain with numbness, allodynia, reduced or hyper sensitivity and hand-foot syndrome. Assessment was performed every day during chemotherapy, six months and one year after completion of nab-PTX therapy. Total of 28 points for each day and 588 points for each cycle, higher point correlates with severity. Frozen gloves during administration of nab-PTX and/or elastic stockings were optionally used.
Statistical methods
Kruskal Wallis test was used and p<0.05 was considered as significant.
RESULTS:
Between May 2013, and April 2016, 105 patients were enrolled from 7 hospitals. In 73 patients (69.5%) nab-PTX was administered as primary and in 32 patients (30.5%) as adjuvant therapy. Forty three (41.0%) patients received nab-PTX as first line and 62 (59.0%) received after anthracycline contained regimen. Trastuzumab was administered as combination therapy with nab-PTX for Her2 positive patients. Both frozen gloves and stockings were used in 21 patients (20.0%) and frozen gloves only were used in 21 patients (20.0%) according to patient preference.
One hundred patients (95.2%) completed four courses, and overall relative dose intensity was 91.4%.
During chemotherapy, J-Q scores go elevated from day 1 to day 5 and gradually declined throughout the rest of the cycle. Without using frozen gloves, there was a significant increase according to courses (1st: 45.0 ± 5.7, 2nd: 76.7 ± 8.6, 3rd: 94.3 ± 11.8, 4th: 95.4 ± 11.8). Using frozen gloves, there was a significant increase from 1st course to 2nd, but no further increase was observed(1st: 37.4 ± 8.1, 2nd: 61.9 ± 12.4, 3rd: 62.9 ± 10.4, 4th: 55.3 ± 10.6). After six month and one year, the scores were significantly lower compared with the last day of the fourth cycle (4.28 ± 0.50, 2.53 ± 0.25, 2.85 ± 0.39, respectively). CTC, grade 2 or more sensory disturbance was observed in 57.9% after four cycles, but improved to 9.5% and 5.4% after six month and one year respectively.
CONCLUSIONS:
Patient-reported nPIPN was significantly getting worse without frozen gloves during chemotherapy, however be largely reversible within 1 year of PST or adjuvant treatment. The J-Q findings support that nab-PTX treatment is tolerable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome of hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy (HAIC + RT) versus sorafenib monotherapy in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and major portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT). METHODS This retrospective study included 108 HCC patients with PVTT of the main trunk or first branch and Child-Pugh ≤7. Sixty-eight received HAIC + RT and 40 received sorafenib. Patients were then assigned to the HAIC + RT group (n = 36) and the sorafenib group (n = 36) through case-control matching. The decision to treat with HAIC + RT or sorafenib was left to the attending physician. RESULTS The median overall, progression-free, and postprogression survival were significantly longer in the HAIC + RT group than in the sorafenib group (9.9 vs. 5.3, p = 0.002; 3.9 vs. 2.1, p = 0.048; and 3.7 vs. 1.9 months, p = 0.02, respectively). Multivariate analysis identified HAIC + RT (hazard ratio = 2.02; 95% confidence interval, 1.14-3.57; p = 0.01) as a significant and independent determinant of overall survival. CONCLUSIONS In patients with advanced HCC and major PVTT, survival was significantly longer in those treated with HAIC + RT than with sorafenib.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired exercise capacity and muscle weakness are important characteristics of liver transplantation recipients. Perioperative rehabilitation has been introduced to promote early mobilization of patients and to prevent postoperative pulmonary complications. However, it is unknown how physical status recovers during the hospital stay after a liver transplant. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in clinical indicators that represent the functional exercise capacity and muscle strength before and after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 21 consecutive patients who underwent LDLT with perioperative rehabilitation from April 2014 to December 2015. Twelve patients who were tested for 6-minute walk distance, hand-grip strength, and isometric knee extensor muscle strength before and 4 weeks after LDLT were enrolled. RESULTS At the preoperative baseline, the 6-minute walk distance significantly correlated with the Model for End-stage Liver Disease score and pulmonary functions (vital capacity, forced vital capacity, and forced expiratory volume in 1 second of predictive values). Comparisons between the preoperative and postoperative values revealed significant decreases in weight, Barthel Index, hand-grip strength, and isometric knee extensor muscle strength. Changes in hand-grip strength and isometric knee extensor muscle strength after LDLT correlated with the preoperative Model for End-stage Liver Disease score. CONCLUSIONS Physical functional status had not been fully recovered 4 weeks after LDLT. Further investigation regarding developing a strategy for prevention of muscle atrophy before LDLT and recovery of physical fitness after LDLT would be helpful.

Abstract
Dynamics of Langmuir solitons in the presence of a background density gradient is investigated numerically, including cases with steep gradients to the extent the solitons can disintegrate. The disintegration threshold is explained by regarding the electric field part of the soliton as a point mass moving along the self-generated potential well corresponding to the density cavity. On the other hand, it is demonstrated that the Langmuir solitons are robust when the density gradient is below the threshold. During the acceleration phase toward low density regions, Langmuir solitons adjust themselves to balance the electric field pressure and the negative plasma pressure by expelling the imbalanced portion as density cavities at the sound velocity. When the density gradient is below the disintegration threshold, the electric field part of the soliton bounces back and forth within the potential well suggesting the solitons have internal structures.

Abstract
Disease recurrence is the major problem in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Relapse is driven by leukemia stem cells, a chemoresistant subpopulation capable of re-establishing disease. Patients with p53 mutant AML are at an extremely high risk of relapse. B-cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1 (BMI-1) is required for the self-renewal and maintenance of AML stem cells. Here we studied the effects of a novel small molecule inhibitor of BMI-1, PTC596, in AML cells. Treatment with PTC596 reduced MCL-1 expression and triggered several molecular events consistent with induction of mitochondrial apoptosis: loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, BAX conformational change, caspase-3 cleavage and phosphatidylserine externalization. PTC596 induced apoptosis in a p53-independent manner. PTC596 induced apoptosis along with the reduction of MCL-1 and phosphorylated AKT in patient-derived CD34+CD38low/− stem/progenitor cells. Mouse xenograft models demonstrated in vivo anti-leukemia activity of PTC596, which inhibited leukemia cell growth in vivo while sparing normal hematopoietic cells. Our results indicate that PTC596 deserves further evaluation in clinical trials for refractory or relapsed AML patients, especially for those with unfavorable complex karyotype or therapy-related AML that are frequently associated with p53 mutations.

Abstract
Patients with chronic renal failure often have hypertension, but the cause of hypertension, other than an excess of body fluid, is not well known. We hypothesized that the bulbospinal neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) are stimulated by uremic toxins in patients with chronic renal failure. To investigate whether RVLM neurons are sensitive to uremic toxins, such as uric acid, indoxyl sulfate, or methylguanidine, we examined changes in the membrane potentials (MPs) of bulbospinal RVLM neurons of Wister rats using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique during superfusion with these toxins. A brainstem-spinal cord preparation that preserved the sympathetic nervous system was used for the experiments. During uric acid, indoxyl sulfate, or methylguanidine superfusion, almost all the RVLM neurons were depolarized. To examine the transporters for these toxins on RVLM neurons, histological examinations were performed. The uric acid-, indoxyl sulfate-, and methylguanidine-depolarized RVLM neurons showed the presence of urate transporter 1 (URAT 1), organic anion transporter (OAT)1 or OAT3, and organic cation transporter (OCT)3, respectively. Furthermore, the toxin-induced activities of the RVLM neurons were suppressed by the addition of an anti-oxidation drug (VAS2870, an NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitor), and a histological examination revealed the presence of NAD(P)H oxidase (nox)2 and nox4 in these RVLM neurons. The present results show that uric acid, indoxyl sulfate, and methylguanidine directly stimulate bulbospinal RVLM neurons via specific transporters on these neurons and by producing oxidative stress. These uremic toxins may cause hypertension by activating RVLM neurons.

Abstract
A RANK ligand-specific inhibitor, denosumab, was predicted to reduce osteolysis and control disease progression in patients with giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). We report, for the first time, the results of the response of GCTB to denosumab obtained from a prospective independent imaging assessment. The findings demonstrate that denosumab has robust clinical efficacy in the treatment of GCTB. Background Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a rare primary bone tumor, characterized by osteoclast-like giant cells that express receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK), and stromal cells that express RANK ligand (RANKL), a key mediator of osteoclast activation. A RANKL-specific inhibitor, denosumab, was predicted to reduce osteolysis and control disease progression in patients with GCTB. Patients and methods Seventeen patients with GCTB were enrolled. Patients were treated with denosumab at 120 mg every 4 weeks, with a loading dose of 120 mg on days 8 and 15. To evaluate efficacy, objective tumor response was evaluated prospectively by an independent imaging facility on the basis of prespecified criteria. Results The proportion of patients with an objective tumor response was 88% based on best response using any tumor response criteria. The proportion of patients with an objective tumor response using individual response criteria was 35% based on the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria, 82% based on the modified European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) criteria, and 71% based on inverse Choi criteria. The median time of study treatment was 13.1 months. Conclusion The findings demonstrate that denosumab has robust clinical efficacy in the treatment of GCTB.

Abstract
Group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR1 and mGluR5) are functionally linked to estrogen receptors and play a key role in the plasticity of central neurons. Estrogen status strongly influences sensory input from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) to neurons at the spinomedullary (Vc/C1-2) region. This study tested the hypothesis that TMJ input to trigeminal subnucleus caudalis/upper cervical cord (Vc/C1-2) neurons involved group I mGluR activation and depended on estrogen status. TMJ-responsive neurons were recorded in superficial laminae at the Vc/C1-2 region in ovariectomized (OvX) female rats treated with low-dose estradiol (2 μg/day, LE) or high-dose estradiol (20 μg/day, HE) for 2 days. TMJ-responsive units were activated by adenosine triphosphate (ATP, 1mM) injected into the joint space. Receptor antagonists selective for mGluR1 (CPCCOEt) or mGluR5 (MPEP) were applied topically to the Vc/C1-2 surface at the site of recording 10 min prior to the intra-TMJ ATP stimulus. In HE rats, CPCCOEt (50 and 500 μM) markedly reduced ATP-evoked unit activity. By contrast, in LE rats, a small but significant increase in neural activity was seen after 50 μM CPCCOEt, while 500 μM caused a large reduction in activity that was similar in magnitude as that seen in HE rats. Local application of MPEP produced a significant inhibition of TMJ-evoked unit activity independent of estrogen status. Neither mGluR1 nor mGluR5 antagonism altered the spontaneous activity of TMJ units in HE or LE rats. High-dose MPEP caused a small reduction in the size of the convergent cutaneous receptive field in HE rats, while CPCCOEt had no effect. These data suggest that group I mGluRs play a key role in sensory integration of TMJ nociceptive input to the Vc/C1-2 region and are largely independent of estrogen status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the current era of total mesorectal excision, local relapse remains a main cause of recurrence. Although standard treatment for locally recurrent rectal cancer (LRRC) has not been established, R0 resection represents the only potentially curative treatment. However, extended surgery accompanying bony pelvic resection is technically demanding and is still challenging. METHODS Studied were 35 patients with LRRC who underwent combined resection of bony pelvis between August 2006 and October 2013. Safety and prognostic factors for survival were analyzed. Median follow-up was 33 months. RESULTS Sacrectomy was performed in 32 patients and 3 patients underwent combined resection of the pubis and ischium. The dominant operative procedure was total pelvic exenteration in 30 (86%) patients. R0 resection was achieved in 27 (77%) patients. No patients died. Pelvic sepsis was the most frequent complication (40%). Recurrence developed in 20 (57%), with the lung the most frequent site (10 patients). Three-year local relapse-free survival (LRFS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were 72.1% and 32.7%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, R1 resection was the only independent risk factor for local recurrence (p = 0.010), and concomitant liver metastasis and initial non sphincter-preserving surgery were independent predictors of worse DFS (p = 0.008 and p = 0.042, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Aggressive surgical treatment combined with bony resection for carefully selected patients with LRRC was safe with a high rate of R0 resection and favorable LRFS. However, DFS was not satisfactory even after R0 resection and the main cause was lung metastasis. Preventing distant recurrence might be a key to improve survival.

Abstract
Two types of fracture, early and late, have been reported following limb lengthening in patients with achondroplasia (ACH) and hypochondroplasia (HCH). We reviewed 25 patients with these conditions who underwent 72 segmental limb lengthening procedures involving the femur and/or tibia, between 2003 and 2011. Gender, age at surgery, lengthened segment, body mass index, the shape of the callus, the amount and percentage of lengthening and the healing index were evaluated to determine predictive factors for the occurrence of early (within three weeks after removal of the fixation pins) and late fracture (> three weeks after removal of the pins). The Mann‑Whitney U test and Pearson's chi-squared test for univariate analysis and stepwise regression model for multivariate analysis were used to identify the predictive factor for each fracture. Only one patient (two tibiae) was excluded from the analysis due to excessively slow formation of the regenerate, which required supplementary measures. A total of 24 patients with 70 limbs were included in the study. There were 11 early fractures in eight patients. The shape of the callus (lateral or central callus) was the only statistical variable related to the occurrence of early fracture in univariate and multivariate analyses. Late fracture was observed in six limbs and the mean time between removal of the fixation pins and fracture was 18.3 weeks (3.3 to 38.4). Lengthening of the tibia, larger healing index, and lateral or central callus were related to the occurrence of a late fracture in univariate analysis. A multivariate analysis demonstrated that the shape of the callus was the strongest predictor for late fracture (odds ratio: 19.3, 95% confidence interval: 2.91 to 128). Lateral or central callus had a significantly larger risk of fracture than fusiform, cylindrical, or concave callus. Radiological monitoring of the shape of the callus during distraction is important to prevent early and late fracture of lengthened limbs in patients with ACH or HCH. In patients with thin callus formation, some measures to stimulate bone formation should be considered as early as possible.

Abstract
Abstract The treatment of human articular chondrocytes with Streptomyces hyaluronidase (St-HA'ase) or hyaluronan hexasaccharides (HA6) provides two approaches to the selective depletion of specific components of the extracellular matrix, and an opportunity to follow the reparative responses initiated by these changes. In this study, changes in the relative expression of messenger RNA for hyaluronan synthase-2, CD44, and aggrecan were determined by competitive, quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. Changes in the size of the cell-associated matrix surrounding live chondrocytes were analyzed by the particle exclusion assay, and hyaluronan accumulation was characterized using a biotin-labeled hyaluronan-specific binding protein. Both Streptomyces hyaluronidase as well as hyaluronan hexasaccharide treatment of chondrocytes resulted in an approximately 2-fold increase in hyaluronan synthase-2 mRNA copy numbers, together with a 1.8-fold increase in the mRNA copy number for the proteoglycan aggrecan. However, although matrix biosynthesis was enhanced, the chondrocytes failed to retain these components. Both treatments resulted in a diminished accumulation of extracellular hyaluronan as well as a loss of the chondrocyte proteoglycan-rich cell-associated matrix. Thus, this model is similar to the early stages of osteoarthritis. Upon removal of the Streptomyces hyaluronidase or hyaluronan hexasaccharides, the normal, healthy, adult human chondrocytes used in this study regained their capacity to retain extracellular hyaluronan and to reassemble and retain a cell-associated matrix. This stimulation of hyaluronan synthase-2 (HAS-2) and aggrecan mRNA expression, and the subsequent capacity to retain the newly synthesized extracellular matrix, illustrate the events which are necessary for adult human articular chondrocytes to undergo effective repair.
