Abstract
BACKGROUND Comprehensive genome profiling (CGP) serves as a guide for suitable genomically matched therapies for patients with cancer. However, little is known about the impact of the timing and types of cancer on the therapeutic benefit of CGP. MATERIALS AND METHODS A single hospital-based pan-cancer prospective study (TOP-GEAR; UMIN000011141) was conducted to examine the benefit of CGP with respect to the timing and types of cancer. Patients with advanced solid tumors (>30 types) who either progressed with or without standard treatments were genotyped using a single CGP test. The subjects were followed up for a median duration of 590 days to examine therapeutic response, using progression-free survival (PFS), PFS ratio, and factors associated with therapeutic response. RESULTS Among the 507 patients, 62 (12.2%) received matched therapies with an overall response rate (ORR) of 32.3%. The PFS ratios (≥1.3) were observed in 46.3% (19/41) of the evaluated patients. The proportion of subjects receiving such therapies in the rare cancer cohort was lower than that in the non-rare cancer cohort (9.6% and 17.4%, respectively; P = 0.010). However, ORR of the rare cancer patients was higher than that in the non-rare cancer cohort (43.8% and 20.0%, respectively; P = 0.046). Moreover, ORR of matched therapies in the first or second line after receiving the CGP test was higher than that in the third or later lines (62.5% and 21.7%, respectively; P = 0.003). Rare cancer and early-line treatment were significantly and independently associated with ORR of matched therapies in multivariable analysis (P = 0.017 and 0.004, respectively). CONCLUSION Patients with rare cancer preferentially benefited from tumor mutation profiling by increasing the chances of therapeutic response to matched therapies. Early-line treatments after profiling increase the therapeutic benefit, irrespective of tumor types.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome/veno-occlusive disease (SOS/VOD) is a life-threatening complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Early diagnosis of SOS/VOD is associated with improved clinical outcomes. In 2023, the refined European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation diagnostic and severity criteria (refined EBMT criteria 2023) have been advocated. The revision has introduced new diagnostic categories, namely; probable, clinical, and proven SOS/VOD. In addition, the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score has been newly incorporated into the SOS/VOD severity grading. We performed a retrospective analysis to evaluate the utility of these criteria. We analyzed 161 cases who underwent allogeneic HSCT. We identified 53 probable, 23 clinical, and 4 proven SOS/VOD cases. Probable SOS/VOD was diagnosed a median of 5.0 days earlier (interquartile range: 2-13 days, P < 0.001) than that of clinical SOS/VOD. The development of probable SOS/VOD alone was associated with a significantly inferior survival proportion compared to non-SOS/VOD (100-day survival, 86.2% vs. 94.3%, P = 0.012). The SOFA score contributed to the prediction of prognosis. Consequently, the refined EBMT criteria 2023 demonstrated the utility of SOS/VOD diagnosis and severity grading. Further investigations and improvements in these criteria are warranted.

Abstract
Objective High-dose chemotherapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT) is an effective treatment option for relapsed and refractory aggressive malignant lymphoma. However, patients frequently experience treatment-induced gastrointestinal symptoms. Synbiotics, including live microorganisms and nondigestible food ingredients, reportedly ameliorate chemotherapy-induced mucosal damage. In this study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of synbiotics in patients undergoing auto-HSCT. Methods This randomized, double-blinded study included patients with malignant lymphoma eligible for auto-HSCT. The patients were randomly assigned to either a synbiotic group receiving Bifidobacterium longum (BB536) and guar gum or a placebo group receiving a placebo containing dextrin. The supplements were administered twice daily from the start of conditioning chemotherapy up to 28 days after auto-HSCT. The primary endpoint was the duration of total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Results In total, 12 patients were included and randomized. The median duration of TPN was 15 (range, 12-33) days in the synbiotic group and 17.5 (range, 0-32) days in the placebo group. The median duration of grade ≥3 diarrhea was shorter in the synbiotic group than in then placebo group (2.5 vs. 6.5 days), as was the duration of hospital stay (31.5 vs. 43 days). The oral intake and quality of life regarding diarrhea and anorexia improved in the synbiotic group after engraftment. Synbiotic infections, including bacteremia, were not observed. Conclusion Synbiotics may reduce gastrointestinal toxicity, thereby reducing nutritional problems and improving the quality of life of patients undergoing auto-HSCT, without severe adverse events.

Abstract
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a fatal complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Early diagnosis for SOS can improve clinical outcomes significantly. Here, we performed a retrospective study to investigate the Cairo diagnostic criteria, in which SOS was defined as the development of two or more in seven events, including transfusion-refractory thrombocytopenia. Among 154 cases of allogeneic HSCT, 10 cases of SOS using the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation criteria (EBMT16) as the reference standard were identified. The original Cairo criteria could diagnose SOS 5 days earlier than any other established criteria, with some false-positive results (sensitivity = 100.0%; specificity = 72.2%). When the cutoff was set to three events for the Cairo criteria, the diagnosis of SOS could be made 3 days earlier than that using the EBMT16 criteria, with comparable precision (specificity = 86.1%). The accuracy of the Cairo criteria improved further when the cutoff point was set to four (specificity = 93.8%). The fulfillment of the Cairo criteria was associated with high mortality. Based on our results, the Cairo criteria were also considered clinically useful, especially at three or four cutoff points. Further studies are required to validate and refine the criteria.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia in the early days following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is a well-known risk factor for acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and non-relapse mortality. The FreeStyle Libre Pro, a factory calibrated continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device, has been used for the retrospective analysis of glucose testing in patients with diabetes. We assessed the safety and accuracy of the device in patients undergoing allo-HSCT. We recruited eight patients who underwent allo-HSCT between August 2017 and March 2020. They wore the FreeStyle Libre Pro on the day before or on the day of transplantation until 28 days after transplantation. Adverse events, especially bleeding and infection, were monitored to assess safety, and blood glucose levels were measured and compared with the device values. None of the eight participants experienced bleeding that was difficult to stop from the sensor site or local infection that required antimicrobial administration. The device value was well correlated with blood glucose (correlation coefficient r=0.795, P<0.01); however, the overall mean absolute relative difference was 32.1%±16.0%. Our study demonstrated the safety of FreeStyle Libre Pro in allo-HSCT patients. However, the sensor results tended to be lower than the blood glucose levels.

Abstract
Global longitudinal strain (GLS), a new cardiac parameter measured by the speckle-tracking method, is reportedly more sensitive than ejection fraction (EF) in detecting slight cardiac dysfunction in heart failure patients. We validated the utility of GLS in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients during a long-term follow-up. Medical records of patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT between 2013 and 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. We evaluated the last echocardiography performed before transplantation and those performed annually during the 5 years after transplantation. We also investigated newly diagnosed cardiac events, which developed after HSCT. Among 85 patients, 22 used cardioprotective drugs. The median follow-up duration in surviving patients was 54.1 months (range, 2.9-92.6 months). GLS significantly decreased year by year, and patients taking cardioprotective agents tended to have a better GLS at 5 years than at 3 years, while EF did not change. Fifteen patients developed newly diagnosed cardiac events. Multivariate analysis revealed that low GLS and high serum ferritin levels at baseline were independently associated with the development of cardiac events. Therefore, we need a continuous follow-up of cardiac function by GLS and prescription of cardioprotective drugs might be considered for HSCT patients with low GLS. Further research is warranted.

Abstract
We previously reported that a second dose of BNT162b2 was safe and effective for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients. Here, we investigated the safety and efficacy of a third dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in allogeneic HSCT patients. Antibody titers against the S1 spike protein were measured using the QuaResearch COVID-19 Human IgM IgG ELISA kit. The previous study included 25 allogeneic HSCT patients who received two doses of BNT162b2. Following the exclusion of three patients because of the development of COVID-19 (n = 2) and loss to follow-up (n = 1), the study evaluated 22 allogeneic HSCT patients who received a third dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2 [n = 15] and mRNA-1273 [n = 7]). Median age at the time of the first vaccination was 56 (range, 23-71) years. Five patients were receiving immunosuppressants at the third vaccination, namely calcineurin inhibitors (CI) alone (n = 1), steroids alone (n = 2), or CI combined with steroids (n = 2). Twenty-one patients (95%) seroconverted after the third dose. None of our patients had serious adverse events, new-onset graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), or GVHD exacerbation after vaccination. A third dose of the BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccines was safe and effective for allogeneic HSCT patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Whereas fenestration at Fontan operation was reported to be effective for smooth initiation to Fontan circulation, subsequently developed aortopulmonary collateral arteries under the presence of remaining hypoxia were a matter of concern.So as our institutional policy, it is closed as much and early as possible (temporary fenestration). This study aimed to reveal long-term outcomes for patients at riskswho underwent Fontan operation with temporary fenestration.
Methods
Of 107 patients undergoing Fontan operation from 1995 to 2004, 79 patients (73.8%) were free from any risks (NR group) and 28 patients (26.2%) had risks for Fontan operation (R group). Hypoplastic left heart syndrome, heterotaxy syndrome with obstructive total anomalous of pulmonary venous connection, and individual cases with high preoperative pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), systemic ventricular end diastolic pressure (SVEDP) or low ejection fraction (SVEF) were defined as a risk for Fontan completion.Age at Fontan operation was older in R group (6.6 vs 2.3years-old, p = 0.0004). Preoperative PAP (12.8 vs 11.3mmHg, p = 0.03) and SVEDP (8.8 vs 7.1mmHg, p = 0.02) were higher and SVEF (53.7 vs 60.0%, p = 0.002) was lower in R group. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was not different. Fenestration was created in all patients in R group, then it was closed at the mean duration of 2.9 years after Fontan operation.
Results
Freedom from death or protein-losing enteropathy rate at 5, 10, and 15 years after Fontan operation were 97, 96, and 93% in NR group and 96, 93, and 86% in R group (log-rank: p = 0.20). Fifty-one patients (64.6%) in NR group and 17 patients (60.7%) in R group underwent serial catheter examinations at 5, 10, and 15 years after Fontan operation and exercise capacity testing at 15 years after Fontan operation (Figure). In R group, arterial oxygen saturation was lower and PVR was higher even after close of fenestration (Figure). In addition, 12 patients (71%) in R group developed significant veno-venous collaterals, which were defined by more than 3mm in diameter of collateral veins or a condition where pulmonary veins were contrasted in venography. On the contrary, cardiac index (CI), SVEDP, and PAP were not different and no significant difference on peak oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold were observed between in 2 groups.
Conclusions
Although the mild cyanosis remained due to the development of veno-venous collaterals after the closure of temporary fenestration, CI, SVEDP and PAP well maintained in patients at risk for Fontan operation. These results might to lead acceptable life prognosis and freedom fromprotein-losing enteropathy rate for patients at risk for Fontan operation.

Abstract
A 45-year-old woman was diagnosed with hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (HSTCL), a rare subtype of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. She received different types of chemotherapy, but disease progression was observed. To reduce the tumor burden before an unrelated bone marrow transplantation, combination chemotherapy consisting of the gemcitabine, carboplatin, and dexamethasone (GCD) was administered as bridging therapy, resulting in a reduction in the number of lymphoma cells. We were then able to perform bone marrow transplantation. Although she experienced some adverse events, she successfully achieved long-term remission. We herein report a successful case of HSTCL treated with unrelated stem cell transplantation following the GCD regimen as bridging chemotherapy.

Abstract
A 69-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with unresectable papillary thyroid cancer was referred to our hospital. We initially treated her with sorafenib, but she subsequently developed erythema multiforme, which was suspected to be a drug rush due to sorafenib; therefore, sorafenib was discontinued. At the time of discontinuation, immature blast cells were detected in her peripheral blood. Approximately two weeks later, her skin rash improved substantially, but the proportion of blasts in the peripheral blood increased. We performed a bone marrow examination, and she was diagnosed with FLT3-ITD-positive acute myeloid leukemia. FLT3-ITD expression is found in 20-25% of AML and is a known independent poor prognostic factor. To overcome the poor prognosis associated with FLT3-ITD, molecular drugs targeting FLT3-ITD are attracting much attention. Sorafenib, a multi-kinase inhibitor, also has an effect on FLT3-ITD. Although primary disease flares after tyrosine kinase inhibitor discontinuation have been reported, this is the first report to describe discontinuation of sorafenib treatment as a potential trigger of FLT3-ITD-positive acute myeloid leukemia in papillary thyroid cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) encephalitis is a known life-threatening complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). However, few studies have focused on the occurrence of HHV-6 encephalitis in patients receiving mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) combined with a calcineurin inhibitor as prophylaxis for graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This study aimed to investigate the impact of MMF administered for GVHD prophylaxis in the occurrence of HHV-6 encephalitis after allo-HSCT and the characteristics of this condition. METHODS AND RESULTS We retrospectively analyzed 73 patients who underwent allo-HSCT (83 transplants) at our hospital between April 2010 and December 2015. MMF (2-3 g/d) was administered along with a calcineurin inhibitor. Seven patients (8.0%) developed encephalitis due to HHV-6. The median period from allo-HSCT to the onset of HHV-6 encephalitis was 23 days (range, 17-98 days). The cumulative incidence of HHV-6 encephalitis on day 100 after treatment was 12% and 6% in patients who underwent cord blood transplantation (CBT) and non-CBT (ie, bone marrow transplantation and peripheral blood stem cell transplantation), respectively (P = 0.344). Neurological symptoms of encephalitis were more severe in non-CBT cases than those in CBT cases. All patients diagnosed with HHV-6 encephalitis were treated with ganciclovir or foscarnet. None of the enrolled patients died from HHV-6 encephalitis. CONCLUSIONS Mycophenolate mofetil may have the potential to increase the frequency of severe HHV-6 encephalitis in patients undergoing CBT and non-CBT. Thus, MMF should be administered with caution, and patients should be monitored closely for HHV-6 encephalitis even those who did not undergo CBT.

Abstract
Scopulariopsis alboflavescens is a soil saprophyte that is widely distributed in nature. Recently, there have been increasing number of reports of invasive infections with Scopulariopsis species in immunocompromised patients. In this report, we described an adult woman with acute myeloid leukemia and who developed S. alboflavescens pneumonia. Liposomal amphotericin B and voriconazole combination therapy was unsuccessful and the patient died because of pneumonia. Scopulariopsis is highly resistant to available antifungal agents and almost invariably fatal. This case report should alert clinicians to the importance of listing Scopulariopsis as a pathogenic fungus in immunocompromised patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is increasingly used among Japanese patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Because pharmacokinetic data for MMF in the Asian population are limited, we conducted this investigation. METHODS Intravenous MMF (1000 mg/dose) was administered to 10 patients along with cyclosporine or tacrolimus for 10 days after allo-SCT; it was administered every 8 h in peripheral blood stem cell- and bone marrow-transplanted patients, and every 12 h in cord blood-transplanted patients. MMF was administered orally at the same dose from day 11. Plasma concentrations of mycophenolic acid (MPA) were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS The MPA AUC0 - tau was 31.9 ± 3.4, 26.2 ± 2.4, and 21.0 ± 2.2 µg*h/mL, the mean Ctrough was 0.25, 0.35, and 0.37 µg/mL, and the Cmax was 10.8, 9.2, and 5.5 µg/mL on days 2, 9, and 16, respectively. The AUC0 - tau and Cmax were significantly higher after intravenous MMF dosing than after oral MMF dosing. All patients exhibited successful neutrophil engraftments in a median time of 18 days. Grade II acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) of the skin was observed in two patients, and one patient developed limited chronic GvHD. Individual cases of transient and curable grade III oral mucositis and diarrhea were observed; however, MMF was not discontinued. No other severe complications or infections were observed. CONCLUSIONS Intravenously administered MMF was safe and possibly effective in achieving higher MPA plasma concentrations for GvHD prophylaxis after allo-SCT in Japanese patients.

Abstract
An outbreak of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 occurred in multiple prefectures of Japan in November 2009. We conducted two case-control studies with trace-back and trace-forward investigations to determine the source. The case definition was met by 21 individuals; 14 (66.7%) were hospitalised, but no haemolytic uraemic syndrome, acute encephalopathy or deaths occurred. Median age was 23 (range 12-48) years and 14 cases were male (66.7%). No significant associations with food were found in a case-control study by local public health centres, but our matched case-control study using Internet surveys found that beef hanging tender (or hanger steak), derived from the diaphragm of the cattle, was significantly associated with illness (odds ratio = 15.77; 95% confidence interval, 2.00-124.11). Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis of isolates from patients and the suspected food showed five different patterns: two in faecal and food samples, and another three in patient faecal samples only, although there were epidemiological links to the meat consumed at the restaurants. Trace-back investigation implicated a common food processing company from outside Japan. Examination of the logistics of the meat processing company suggested that contamination did not occur in Japan. We concluded that the source of the outbreak was imported hanging tender. This investigation revealed that Internet surveys could be useful for outbreak investigations.

Abstract
Lymph node infarction is very rare, and is frequently associated with neoplasms, such as malignant lymphoma and non-neoplastic disease, or interventions such as fine-needle aspiration (FNA). A 76-year-old-man presented with cervical lymph node swelling. Although FNA was performed, the findings were insufficient for a definitive diagnosis. Consequently, surgical biopsy of the cervical lymph node was performed, which revealed total infarction; a diagnosis of classical Hodgkin lymphoma was made later. Both lymphoma itself and FNA may cause total lymph node infarction, which makes diagnosis confusing. Therefore, it is important to repeat the biopsy rather than repeat FNA to correctly diagnose malignant lymphoma, including Hodgkin lymphoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Asthmatic cough is often refractory to standard treatments such as inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and long-acting β2 agonists (LABA). Tiotropium may modulate cough reflex sensitivity of acute viral cough, but its efficacy in asthmatic cough remains unknown. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether tiotropium improves cough and cough reflex sensitivity in patients with asthma refractory to ICS/LABA. METHODS Seventeen consecutive patients with asthma with chronic cough despite the use of ICS/LABA (13 women; 43.4 ± 19.0 years; average ICS dose, 651 ± 189 μg/d; fluticasone equivalent) were additionally treated with tiotropium (5 μg/d) for 4 to 8 weeks to examine its effects on pulmonary function and capsaicin cough reflex sensitivity (cough thresholds C2 and C5). Cough severity, cough-specific quality of life, and asthma control were also evaluated using cough visual analog scales (VASs), the Japanese version of Leicester Cough Questionnaire (J-LCQ), and Asthma Control Test (ACT), respectively. Patients with an improved cough VAS score of 15 mm or more were considered responders to tiotropium. RESULTS Tiotropium significantly improved cough VAS, J-LCQ, and ACT scores, but not FEV1. Changes in cough VAS score correlated with those in C2 (r = -0.58; P = .03), C5 (r = -0.58; P = .03), and ACT scores (r = -0.62; P = .02), but not in FEV1 in the overall patients. When analyses were confined to the 11 responders, tiotropium significantly improved capsaicin cough reflex sensitivity within the subgroup (C2: P = .01 and C5: P = .02) and versus the nonresponders (C2: P = .004 and C5: P = .02). CONCLUSION Tiotropium may alleviate asthmatic cough refractory to ICS/LABA by modulating cough reflex sensitivity but not through bronchodilation.

Abstract
Oncogene amplification is uncommon in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Cytogenetically, it is primarily found as double minute chromosomes (dmin) or homogeneously staining regions (hsr). A 62-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of anemia and thrombocytopenia. Her bone marrow was hypercellular with 78.6% myeloperoxidase- positive blasts. Some had micronuclei. The patient was diagnosed with AML M2 and remains in complete remission (CR) after induction therapy. G-banding at diagnosis showed 51,XX,t(11;16)(q13;p11.2),+r1,+mar1×4. Spectral karyotyping confirmed t(11;16) and revealed that the ring and the marker chromosomes were derived from multiple copies of ring chromosome 8. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a MYC probe at 8q24 detected amplified MYC signals on 1 large and 4 small ring chromosomes 8. One MYC signal was deleted from one of the 2 chromosomes 8. FISH with a FUS probe at 16p11.2 showed monoallelic deletion of FUS. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated MYC protein overexpression at diagnosis and almost negative expression in CR. These results indicate that MYC amplification could occur in ring chromosomes without dmin. A cryptic MYC deletion suggests that an episome model could be applicable to MYC amplification in ring chromosomes as observed for dmin and hsr. Furthermore, considering 2 further reported cases, t(11;16)(q13;p11) may be a very rare but recurrent translocation in AML.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the interrelationships among occlusal support, dysphagia, malnutrition, and activities of daily living in aged individuals needing long-term care. DESIGN Cross-sectional study and path analysis. SETTING Long-term health care facilities, acute care hospitals, and the community. PARTICIPANTS Three hundred and fifty-four individuals aged ≥ 65 years with dysphagia or potential dysphagia in need of long-term care. MEASUREMENTS The modified Eichner Index, Dysphagia Severity Scale, Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form, and Barthel index. RESULTS The participants included 118 males and 236 females with a mean (standard deviation) age of 83 (8) years. A total of 216 participants had functional occlusal support with or without dentures. Of the total participants, 73 were within normal limits regarding the severity of dysphagia, 119 exhibited dysphagia without aspiration, and 162 exhibited dysphagia with aspiration. Only 34 had a normal nutritional status, while 166 participants were malnourished, and 154 were at risk of malnutrition. The median Barthel index score was 30. Path analysis indicated two important findings: occlusal support had a direct effect on dysphagia (standard coefficient = 0.33), and dysphagia was associated directly with malnutrition (standard coefficient = 0.50). Dysphagia and malnutrition were associated directly with impaired activities of daily living (standard coefficient = 0.57, 0.22). CONCLUSION In aged individuals needing long-term care, occlusal support is associated directly with dysphagia and indirectly with malnutrition and activities of daily living via dysphagia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-adherence to inhalation regimens is common in asthmatic patients. The Adherence Starts with Knowledge-12 (ASK-12) survey was developed to detect and address patient-specific barriers to medication adherence. Our objective is to investigate the clinical usefulness of the ASK-12 for assessing and addressing adherence to inhalation therapy in asthma. METHODS The ASK-12 was administered to 138 asthmatic patients. Using pharmacy-refill data, we examined the cut-off value of the ASK-12 to identify patients who were non-adherent to inhalation regimens and identify factors associated with non-adherence. To verify the usefulness of the ASK-12, inhalation regimens were prospectively switched to less-expensive and simpler (once-daily) dosing regimens in eight non-adherent asthmatic patients who reported specific-barriers in "inconvenience of twice-daily inhaler use" and "cost". RESULTS Valid responses were received from 114 (82.6%) patients. A significant correlation was found between pharmacy-refill rates and the ASK-12 total score (r=-0.55, P<0.0001). The optimal cut-off value of the ASK-12 total score to discriminate non-adherent patients (defined by pharmacy-refill rate <80%) was 23, with 71.4% specificity and 93.3% sensitivity. Using this value, 52 (45.6%) patients were classified as non-adherent. Univariate followed by multivariate analysis identified younger age as a predictor of non-adherence to inhalation regimens (odds ratio, 2.67; 95% CI, -0.95 to -0.06; P=0.027). Switching inhaled medicines in eight patients resulted in significant improvements in both ASK-12 scores and asthma control. CONCLUSIONS The ASK-12 is a brief, practical, and clinically useful measure for assessing and addressing adherence to inhalation regimens in asthma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the close linkage between rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and asthma, relevant biomarkers of both upper and lower airway inflammation are rare. METHODS Patients with asthma (without upper airway disease [UAD; n = 24], with rhinitis [n = 25], CRS [n = 24], and nasal polyps [n = 2]), isolated rhinitis (n = 13), isolated CRS (n = 13), and 10 healthy controls were prospectively recruited. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (NO) levels at 50 mL/s (FeNO50), nasal NO levels, Lund-Macay-scores of sinus computed tomography and an asthma control questionnaire (ACQ) were evaluated. RESULTS Asthma was associated with higher FeNO50 levels irrespective of the UAD category. FeNO50 levels were higher in asthmatics with CRS (median: 54.0 ppb) than those with rhinitis (35.2 ppb, p = 0.02) and those without UAD (34.3 ppb, p = 0.002). Nasal NO levels were higher in rhinitis patients than other UAD categories, irrespective of the asthma concomitance. Nasal NO levels were higher in asthmatics with rhinitis (112.8 ppb) than those without UAD (67.2 ppb, p = 0.001) and those with CRS (57.6 ppb, p < 0.0001). A receiver-operating-characteristic curve analysis for detecting comorbid allergic rhinitis (AR) in asthmatics showed a high area under the curve (0.87). Nasal NO levels were positively correlated with FeNO50 levels (ρ = 0.56, p = 0.003) in asthmatics with rhinitis. In contrast, they were negatively correlated with the Lund-Macay (ρ = -0.46, p = 0.03) and ACQ scores (ρ = -0.52, p = 0.009) in asthmatics with CRS. CONCLUSIONS Higher nasal NO levels reflect the presence of AR, irrespective of asthma concomitance. Higher FeNO50 levels reflect the presence of CRS and asthma. These NO measurements are useful for assessing comorbid UAD in asthmatics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cough-variant asthma (CVA) and cough-predominant asthma (CPA) are the major causes of persistent cough in Japan. The utility of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) measurement in the differential diagnosis of persistent cough has been reported, but the influence of atopic status, which is associated with higher FeNO levels, on the diagnostic utility of FeNO has been unknown. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 105 non-smoking patients with prolonged and chronic cough that were not treated with corticosteroids and anti-leukotrienes. RESULTS CPA was diagnosed in 37 patients, CVA in 40, and non-asthmatic cough (NAC) in 28. FeNO levels were significantly higher in the CPA [35.8 (7.0-317.9) ppb] and CVA [24.9 (3.1-156.0) ppb] groups than in the NAC group [18.2 (6.9-49.0) ppb] (p < 0.01 by Kruskal-Wallis test). The optimal cut-off for distinguishing asthmatic cough (AC; CPA and CVA) from NAC was 29.2 ppb [area under the curve (AUC) 0.74, p < 0.01]. Ninety-one percent of subjects with FeNO levels ≥29.2 ppb had AC. Meanwhile, 40% of AC patients had FeNO levels <29.2 ppb. Stratified cut-off levels were 31.1 ppb (AUC 0.83) in atopic subjects vs. 19.9 ppb (AUC 0.65) in non-atopic subjects (p = 0.03 for AUC). CONCLUSIONS Although high FeNO levels suggested the existence of AC, lower FeNO levels had limited diagnostic significance. Atopic status affects the utility of FeNO levels in the differential diagnosis of prolonged and chronic cough.

Abstract
It is known that nerve fibers containing neuropeptides such as galanin increase in the periodontal ligament during experimental tooth movement. However, the origin of galanin-containing nerve fibers in the periodontal ligament remains unclear. This study was conducted to examine our hypothesis that the increased galanin nerve fibers have a sensory neuronal origin, and that the peptide is associated with pain transmission and/or periodontal ligament remodeling during experimental tooth movement. In control rats, galanin-immunoreactive trigeminal ganglion cells were very rare and were observed predominantly in small ganglion cells. After 3 days of experimental tooth movement, galanin-immunoreactive trigeminal ganglion cells significantly increased, and the most marked increase was observed at 5 days after experimental tooth movement. Furthermore, their cell size spectrum also significantly changed after 3 and 5 days of movement: Medium-sized and large trigeminal ganglion cells began expressing, and continued to express, galanin until 14 days after experimental tooth movement. These findings suggest that the increase of galanin in the periodontal ligament during experimental tooth movement at least partially originates from trigeminal ganglion neurons and may play a role in pain transmission and/or periodontal remodeling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acid inhibitory effects of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are influenced by CYP2C19 genotype. In contrast, the potent acid inhibition of vonoprazan is not influenced by CYP2C19 genotype. AIM To compare the acid inhibitory effects of vonoprazan and esomeprazole in relation to CYP2C19 genotype. METHODS Twenty-eight healthy Japanese volunteers [7 CYP2C19 poor metabolisers (PMs), 11 intermediate metabolisers (IMs) and 10 rapid metabolisers (RMs)] received four different regimens in a randomised crossover manner: (i) vonoprazan 20 mg twice daily (b.d.), (ii) vonoprazan 20 mg daily, (iii) esomeprazole 20 mg b.d. and (iv) esomeprazole 20 mg daily. The timing of each dosing was 1 h before a meal. Twenty-four-hour intragastric pH monitoring was performed on day 7 on each regimen. RESULTS In the overall genotype group, pH ≥4 holding time ratios (pH 4 HTRs) with vonoprazan b.d., vonoprazan daily, esomeprazole b.d. and esomeprazole daily were 100%, 95%, 91%, and 68% respectively. pH 5 HTRs were 99%, 91%, 84% and 54% respectively. Vonoprazan b.d. potently suppressed acid for 24 h, and was significantly superior to other regimens irrespective of CYP2C19 genotype. Vonoprazan daily was equivalent to esomeprazole b.d. in IMs and PMs, but superior in RMs. CYP2C19 genotype-dependent differences were observed in esomeprazole daily but not in vonoprazan b.d. or daily. CONCLUSION Vonoprazan 20 mg b.d. inhibits acid irrespective of CYP2C19 genotype, more potently than esomeprazole 20 mg b.d., pH 4 and 5 holding time ratios reached 100% and 99%, respectively.

Abstract
Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) arises from a human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I)-infected cell and has few therapeutic options. Here, we have uncovered a previously unrecognized role for a ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20 in the survival of HTLV-I-infected cells. Unlike in lymphomas of the B-cell lineage, A20 is abundantly expressed in primary ATL cells without notable mutations. Depletion of A20 in HTLV-I-infected cells resulted in caspase activation, cell death induction and impaired tumorigenicity in mouse xenograft models. Mechanistically, A20 stably interacts with caspase-8 and Fas-associated via death domain (FADD) in HTLV-I-infected cells. Mutational studies revealed that A20 supports the growth of HTLV-I-infected cells independent of its catalytic functions and that the zinc-finger domains are required for the interaction with and regulation of caspases. These results indicate a pivotal role for A20 in the survival of HTLV-I-infected cells and implicate A20 as a potential therapeutic target in ATL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bacterial resistance of Helicobacter pylori to antibiotics is increasing and it often leads to failure of antibiotic treatment. A new sitafloxacin-based triple therapy was developed to counter this situation; the fluoroquinolone sitafloxacin has a low minimum inhibitory concentration for H. pylori. AIM To investigate the efficacy in Japanese patients of sitafloxacin-based triple therapy and document its efficacy in relation to anti-microbial susceptibility. METHODS We investigated the efficacy of a 1-week sitafloxicin-based regimen of rabeprazole 10 mg four times daily (q.d.s.), metronidazole 250 mg twice daily (b.d.) and sitafloxacin 100 mg b.d. in 180 H. pylori-positive Japanese patients (first-line treatment: n = 45, second-line; n = 41, third-line: n = 94). At 8 weeks, patients were given the (13) C-urea breath test to assess eradication status. RESULTS Eradication rate was 92.2% [95% confidence interval (CI): 87.3-95.7%, 166/180] in intention-to-treat analysis. Although the eradication rate was higher in patients treated with first-line therapy [45/45 (100%, 95% CI: 83.4-100%)] than in those with second- [38/41 (92.7%, 80.1-98.5%)] or third-line therapy [83/94 (88.3%, 80.0-94.0%)], no significant differences were noted with respect to the number of previous therapy attempts (P = 0.054). Eradication rates in patients infected with sensitive- and resistant strains to metronidazole were 96.6% (28/29) and 96.3% (77/80) (P = 0.941), respectively, while rates were 98.4% (60/61) in sitafloxacin-sensitive and 50.0% (1/2) in sitafloxacin resistant strains (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Sitofloxacin-based triple therapy with metronidazole b.d. and rabeprazole q.d.s. achieved an eradication rate exceeding 88%, irrespective of eradication history, CYP2C19 genotype, or metronidazole resistance status.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Twice-daily dosing of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is used to treat Helicobacter pylori or acid-related diseases, such as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) refractory to standard dose of a PPI. Genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C19 are involved to different extents in the metabolism of four kinds of PPIs (omeprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazole and esomeprazole) available in Japan. AIM To compare acid-inhibitory effects of the four PPIs dosed twice daily in relation to CYP2C19 genotype. METHODS We performed 24-h pH monitoring studies on Day 7 of PPI treatment for 40 Japanese H. pylori-negative volunteers [15 CYP2C19 rapid metabolisers (RMs), 15 intermediate metabolisers (IMs) and 10 poor metabolisers (PMs)] using a randomised four-way crossover design: omeprazole 20 mg, esomeprazole 20 mg, lansoprazole 30 mg and rabeprazole 10 mg twice daily. RESULTS Although median pH values with esomeprazole, omeprazole, lansoprazole and rabeprazole were 5.7 (3.5-7.2), 5.5 (2.4-7.2), 5.5 (3.7-7.3) and 5.2 (2.5-7.3), respectively (no statistically significant differences), CYP2C19 genotype-dependent differences were smaller for esomeprazole and rabeprazole compared with values for omeprazole and lansoprazole. In CYP2C19 RMs, the median pH with esomeprazole [5.4 (3.5-6.8)] was significantly higher than those with omeprazole [5.0 (2.4-5.9), P = 0.018], lansoprazole [4.7 (3.7-5.5), P = 0.017] or rabeprazole [4.8 (2.5-6.4), P = 0.002]. In IMs and PMs, the median pH was >5.0 independent of the PPI. CONCLUSIONS In intermediate and rapid metabolisers of CYP2C19, PPIs dosed twice daily could attain sufficient acid suppression, while in CYP2C19 RMs, esomeprazole 20 mg twice daily caused the strongest inhibition of the four PPIs. Therefore, esomeprazole may be effective in Japanese population when dosed twice daily.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Standard dosing (i.e. once daily) of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) cannot inhibit acid secretion for a full 24 h. Better therapeutic regimens using PPIs are required to sustain potent acid inhibition for the full 24 h in all patients with acid-related diseases. AIM To evaluate acid inhibitory effects by different dosing times of a PPI at the same daily dosage, in a study involving 70 rounds of pH monitoring. METHODS Using pH monitoring, we evaluated the efficacy of different divided treatment regimens with the same total daily dose of rabeprazole (40 mg o.m., 15 rounds; 20 mg b.d., 20 rounds; 10 mg q.d.s., 35 rounds) on day 7 or 8 of PPI dosing. RESULTS In the study of divided treatment, the median pH (when administered once, twice or four times to achieve a daily dose of 40 mg) was 4.8 (3.6-6.4), 5.7 (4.1-7.4), 6.6 (4.9-8.4), respectively. When comparing the median pHs at the same CYP2C19 genotype among different dosing times of rabeprazole, the median pH attained with 10 mg q.d.s. was significantly higher than that in 40 mg o.m. or 20 mg b.d. Increase in the frequency of dosing effectively increased pH [median percent time of pH > 4.0 with q.d.s. therapy: 95.5% (63.2-100.0%)], irrespective to CYP2C19 genotype. CONCLUSION Four times daily dosing with rabeprazole 10 mg achieved potent acid inhibition, including during the night-time, suggesting its potential usefulness as a regimen for patients who are refractory to standard once daily PPI treatment.
