Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to determine the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the treatment of acute cholangitis caused by choledocholithiasis. Methods The Japanese government declared a state of emergency in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 309 patients who underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for acute cholangitis caused by choledocholithiasis between April 2017 and December 2022. Results Patients were categorized into a pregroup (n = 134) and a postgroup (n = 175), depending on whether they were diagnosed before or after the state of emergency declaration. The total number of ERCP cases and the number of ERCP cases with endoscopic stone removals increased after the state of emergency declaration. Compared with the pregroup, the numbers of patients with performance status of 0-1 and surgically altered anatomy increased, whereas the numbers of patients taking oral antiplatelets or anticoagulants and those with cerebrovascular disease decreased in the postgroup. The number of single-stage endoscopic stone removals increased and hospital stays were significantly shorter in the postgroup. No differences in adverse event rates were detected between the two groups. Conclusions Although our hospital provides tertiary care, the number of patients with cholangitis in good general condition and no underlying disease increased after the state of emergency declaration. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an increase in the number of single-stage endoscopic treatments and shortened hospital stays for patients with acute cholangitis caused by choledocholithiasis. No safety issues with ERCP were detected, even during the pandemic.

Abstract
[Purpose] To classify and compare the physical characteristics and functions of community-dwelling elderly individuals of various age groups participating in the Kayoi-no-ba program. [Participants and Methods] A total of 176 community-dwelling elderly individuals living in six cities and towns in the Niigata Prefecture who participated in the Kayoi-no-ba program between 2018 and 2020 were recruited in this study. Physical characteristics, such as strength, balance, and mobility, were assessed. [Results] Among elderly females and males who participated in the Kayoi-no-ba program, those >80 years of age showed shorter height, lighter weight, and lower body muscle mass than the other age groups. Strength, balance, and mobility functions, including grip strength, sit-to-stand test, single-leg-stand test, and timed up-and-go test, were significantly decreased, especially in patients aged >80 years. [Conclusion] Among community-dwelling elderly individuals participating in the Kayoi-no-ba program, physical characteristics and functions were affected by aging, with significant decline particularly in those aged >80 years old. These findings suggest that early intervention is necessary to maintain muscle mass, strength, balance, and mobility in the elderly.

Abstract
AIM We investigated the von Willebrand factor to ADAMTS13 ratio (von Willebrand factor [VWF]:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC) as a potential biomarker for the outcomes of acute kidney injury (AKI) in liver cirrhosis (LC). METHODS This retrospective cross-sectional study included patients with LC who developed AKI (AKI group: n = 91) and patients with LC who did not develop AKI [non-AKI (NAKI) group, n = 91] as a control group. Plasma levels of the von Willebrand factor antigen (Ag) and ADAMTS13 activity (AC) were measured in patients with AKI or NAKI. Moreover, risk factors for onset of AKI, AKI-associated 90-day mortality, and poor AKI treatment response were identified. RESULTS The AKI group had a significantly higher VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC than the NAKI group. Values of VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC ≥ 5.7 were identified as risk factors for AKI onset in patients with LC (odds ratio [OR] 2.56; 95% CI 1.26-4.99; p < 0.001). Among patients with AKI, values of VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC ≥ 9.0 were identified as risk factors for 90-day mortality (OR 6.83; 95% CI 2.32-20.10; p < 0.001). Cumulative survival was significantly lower in those with high (≥ 9.0) than in those with low (< 9.0) VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC. Furthermore, values of VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC ≥ 7.4 were identified as risk factors for poor treatment response (OR 4.2; 95% CI 1.39-12.70; p < 0.001). The treatment response rates were significantly higher in those with low (< 7.4) VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC than in those with high (≥ 7.4) VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC. CONCLUSION VWF:Ag/ADAMTS13:AC potentially predicts the onset, prognosis, and treatment response of AKI in patients with LC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The consistency of intracranial meningiomas is an important clinical factor because it affects the success of surgical resection. This study aimed at identifying and quantitatively measuring pathological factors that contribute to the consistency of meningiomas. Furthermore, we investigated the relationship between these factors and preoperative neuroradiological imaging. METHODS We analyzed 42 intracranial meningioma specimens, which had been removed at our institution between October 2012 and March 2018. Consistency was measured quantitatively after resection using an industrial stiffness meter. For pathological evaluation, we quantitatively measured the collagen-fiber content through binarization of images of Azan-Mallory-stained section. We assessed calcification and necrosis semi-quantitatively using images acquired of Hematoxylin and Eosin stained samples. The relationship between collagen-fiber content rate and imaging findings was examined. RESULTS The content of collagen fibers significantly positively correlated with meningioma consistency (p < 0.0001). Collagen-fiber content was significantly higher in low- and iso-intensity regions compared with high-intensity regions on the magnetic resonance T2-weighted images (p = 0.0148 and p = 0.0394, respectively). Calcification and necrosis showed no correlation with tumor consistency. CONCLUSIONS The quantitative hardness of intracranial meningiomas positively correlated with collagen-fiber content; thus, the amount of collagen fibers may be a factor that determines the hardness of intracranial meningiomas. Our results demonstrate that T2-weighted images reflect the collagen-fiber content and are useful for estimating tumor consistency preoperatively and non-invasively.

Abstract
Six optically active (Z)-7-decen-4-olide derivatives (1a-1f) were synthesized in 99% enantiomeric excess using diastereomeric resolution. The odour properties of the racemic and optically active 1a-1f were evaluated in terms of their orthonasal aromas. All of the stereoisomers had different odour characteristics and thresholds. Decen-4-olides (1a-1c) had a strong fruity note, whereas undecen-4-olide (1d and 1e) and dodecen-4-olide (1f) had a strong green note. For 7-alken-4-olides (1a, 1d, and 1f), the (R)-enantiomer had a lower odour threshold than the (S)-enantiomer. In contrast, no difference in the odour threshold was observed for the enantiomers of the 8-alken-4-olides (1b and 1e). Furthermore, the antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli; ATCC 25922) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus; ATCC 29213) were investigated. Although the no differences in the antimicrobial activity of the stereoisomers was observed, 1d and 1e showed slight antimicrobial activity against E. coli, whereas only 1f showed antimicrobial activity against S. aureus. No antimicrobial activity was exhibited by (R)-1f, whereas (S)-1f exhibited strong antimicrobial activity.

Abstract
Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can be used for lung cancer treatment, the activated immune response may cause immune-related adverse effects (irAEs). We present here a case of cytomegalovirus (CMV) enterocolitis during steroid therapy for an irAE. A 70-year-old man diagnosed with small-cell lung carcinoma (limited disease) received radiotherapy plus two chemotherapy cycles of cisplatin and etoposide. The tumor exhibited complete response but recurred after 3 years. After treatment with two cycles of carboplatin, etoposide, and atezolizumab, an inhibitors of programmed cell death receptor-1, he was switched to atezolizumab every 3 weeks for maintenance therapy. Diarrhea occurred after nine atezolizumab doses. With a strong suspicion of ICI-induced colitis, we administered methylprednisolone 500 mg for 3 days, followed by oral prednisolone 40 mg/day. Total colonoscopy during the treatment revealed mucosal inflammation of the total colon, suggesting immune-related colitis. Biopsies from the ulceration revealed crypt abscess with highly infiltrative plasma cells and lymphocytes. Furthermore, immunohistochemical staining showed positivity for CMV. With no improvement in watery diarrhea, the prednisolone dose was increased to 80 mg/day on the 11th day, and ganciclovir was additionally administered twice daily on the 26th day. On the 28th day, the patient had abdominal pain, and abdominal computed tomography revealed free air, resulting in the diagnosis of colon perforation. He underwent subtotal colectomy followed by ileostomy as emergency surgery. A colon specimen revealed colitis with CMV infection. We describe colon perforation in a patient with CMV enterocolitis complicated by refractory immune-related colitis.

Abstract
Objectives Serial pancreatic juice aspiration cytological examination (SPACE) via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is a useful diagnostic method for early‐stage pancreatic cancer, such as carcinoma in situ that are difficult to diagnose by endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine needle aspiration (EUS‐FNA). However, the diagnostic accuracy of SPACE is low, which is attributed to problems regarding specimen treatment. Hence, we evaluated the diagnostic efficacy of liquid‐based cytology (LBC) in pancreatic juice cytology for pancreatic cancer. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 24 patients with suspected pancreatic cancer that was difficult to diagnose by endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine needle aspiration who underwent SPACE using LBC between April 2017 and April 2021. Results The most common reason for performing SPACE was localized stenosis of the main pancreatic duct without a mass. Eleven patients were diagnosed with malignancy after surgical resection, nine of whom had pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Ten patients were diagnosed as benign after a follow‐up of more than 1 year. The nine cases of malignancy were diagnosed before surgical resection by SPACE using LBC, with a sensitivity of 81.8% and specificity of 100%. The overall diagnostic accuracy was 91.7%. A total of 152 LBC examinations were performed via SPACE, with an adequate sample collection rate of 88.9%. No adverse events, including acute pancreatitis, occurred after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Conclusion SPACE with LBC offers good diagnostic efficacy in patients with pancreatic cancer that is difficult to diagnose by endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine needle aspiration.

Abstract
Brain metastases from esophageal cancer is rare and the incidence has been reported at approximately 5%. We report a case of brain metastases with repeated bleeding from Esophageal carcinoma. The case is a 76-year-old man. Three years ago he was diagnosed with small cell carcinoma of the esophagus by endoscopic biopsy. Metastasis was found only in the cervical lymph node, but the condition was stable by chemoradiotherapy and no metastases were found throughout the body before 1 month. He was admitted to the hospital because of a sudden convulsion, and CT scan revealed cerebral hemorrhage in the right frontal lobe. We performed conservative treatment, but rebleeding was observed from the same site repeatedly after 1 month and 2 months. Due to the influence of bleeding, it was difficult to distinguish cerebral hemorrhage from brain tumor by contrast MRI. After surgery, the cause of bleeding was diagnosed as metastatic brain tumor of esophageal small cell carcinoma. Postoperative radiation therapy was performed in another hospital, but rebleeding was observed 3 months after the operation. A reoperation was performed at another hospital, and a recurrence of metastatic brain tumor was diagnosed. In the case of highly malignant metastatic brain tumors, it was considered necessary to frequently follow the images.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Thrombosis localization inside the left atrium (LA) is very frequently in the left atrial appendage (LAA). Some cases show atrial thrombus outside LAA, whose characteristics have not well elucidated.
Purpose
To reveal the different clinical background between thrombus inside LAA and outside LAA in a large transesophageal echo (TEE) database.
Methods
We searched the TEE database over 8 years of our center to identify patients in whom LA thrombus was pointed out. After initial TEE imaging, LA thrombus was confirmed with repeated TEE by echocardiography specialist or other modality, such as CT images.
Results
In a consecutive 16,142 TEE cases, LA thrombus was suspected in 162 cases (1%), finally 38 cases were identified as LA thrombus. They were divided into two groups; LAA only group and outside LAA group. Atrial fibrillation was concomitant in 34 patients (89%). History of stroke was significantly higher in LAA group (46.2% vs 8.3%, p=0.03) and malignant tumor was significantly higher in outside LAA group (23.1% vs 58.3%, p=0.035). LA thrombus was the first symptom in 3 cases of outside LAA group, following by malignant tumor was newly detected. Oral anticoagulation was prescribed in 23 cases (61%) at TEE study, mostly treated with warfarin, and median 123 days later thrombus dissolution was confirmed in 21 cases (55%). During mean follow up of 893 days, 4 patients experienced ischemic stroke, but two of them were due to self-interruption.
Conclusion
Outside LAA thrombus is minor but more concomitant with malignant tumor. Physician must be aware that screening of cancer is important if outside LAA thrombus is detected.

Abstract
Intracranial teratoma is a rare disease that frequently occurs in children and young adults. It comprises of approximately 0.1% of the brain tumors. We report a case of a large mature teratoma in the third ventricle with Holmes tremor. A 5-year-old boy presented with tremors 2 years ago. CT showed a 56×48 mm tumor in the third ventricle and hydrocephalus. The tumor was well demarcated from the surrounding brain tissue and contained calcification. MRI indicated a partially high-intensity signal on T1-weighted and T2-weighted images. The preoperative diagnosis was teratoma. Initially, the tumor was biopsied using neuroendoscopy and the Ommaya reservoir was set. The pathological results showed fat-like tissues and fibroblasts. Subsequently, the tumor was completely removed using the interhemispheric transcallosal transchoroidal approach. The tumor included fat and hair tissues. It also included calcification similar to that observed in a tooth. It was strongly adhered near the pineal gland. Pathologically, the diagnosis was a mature teratoma. Postoperatively, the tremor disappeared and the patient was discharged from the hospital without neurological deficits. We believe that compression of the Guillain-Mollaret triangle was relieved by removal of the tumor. Hence, the tremor disappeared after the operation.

Abstract
Peroxiredoxins (PRXs) are intracellular anti-oxidative enzymes but work as inflammatory amplifiers under the extracellular condition. To date, the function of PRXs in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate whether PRXs play a role in the pathogenesis of MS and NMOSD. We analyzed levels of PRXs (PRX1, PRX5 and PRX6) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum of 16 patients with MS, 16 patients with NMOSD and 15 patients with other neurological disorders (ONDs). We identified potential correlations between significantly elevated PRXs levels and the clinical variables in patients with MS and NMOSD. Additionally, pathological analyses of PRXs (PRX1-6) in the central nervous system (CNS) were performed using the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), animal model of MS. We found that serum levels of PRX5 and PRX6 in patients with MS and NMOSD were higher compared with those in patients with ONDs (P < 0·05). Furthermore, high levels of PRX5 and PRX6 were partly associated with blood-brain barrier dysfunction and disease duration in NMOSD patients. No significant elevation was found in CSF PRXs levels of MS and NMOSD. Spinal cords from EAE mice showed remarkable PRX5 staining, especially in CD45+ infiltrating cells. In conclusion, PRX5 and PRX6 may play a role in the pathogeneses of MS and NMOSD.

Abstract
We herein report a patient who was diagnosed as having olfactory groove schwannoma (OGS) which was negative for CD57 (Leu7) but positive for Schwann/2E and Sox10. A 13-year-old female with a chief complaint of headache was referred to our department due to a tumor lesion in the anterior skull base identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). At the first visit, she did not exhibit altered consciousness, motor palsy, anosmia, seizures, or café au lait spots. On contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), a heterogeneously enhanced tumor, 50 × 45 × 50 mm in size, was observed at the anterior skull base. The left cribriform plate was thinner on bone window CT. The tumor exhibited strong, heterogeneous gadolinium enhancement on MRI as well. Slight tumor staining was observed by angiography of the left internal carotid artery but not the left external carotid artery. The patient was preoperatively diagnosed as having meningioma and underwent gross tumor resection via the basal interhemispheric approach. The tumor was strongly positive for S-100 protein and negative for epithelial membrane antigen and CD57 by immunostaining. The tumor was positive for both Schwann/2E and Sox10, which aided in the differential diagnosis between OGSs and olfactory ensheathing cell (OEC) tumors, and the definitive diagnosis was OGS. The assessment of immunoreactivities for Schwann/2E and Sox10 might be necessary to differentiate CD57-negative Schwannomas from OEC tumors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cystosis is the most common parasitic disease of the central nervous system. Especially in developing countries, it is one of the differential diagnosis of diseases that cause seizures. We report a case of a foreigner suspected of having neurocysticercosis. CASE A 36-year-old Nepalese visiting Japan for 2 years. Two days ago, she lost consciousness for a few seconds and was transferred to our hospital complaint of convulsions for about 1 minute. Head Computed Tomography (CT) revealed a mass lesion with a ring enhancement effect of about 10 mm in the right frontal lobe, with edema around it. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) shows T1WI low signal, T2WI high signal, and diffusion-weighted image with a light high signal. The ring-shaped enhancement effect was exhibited. Whole body CT showed no obvious lesions and blood tumor markers were negative. Various infections were negative, and cerebrospinal fluid cytology and culture were negative. POSTOPERATIVE COURSE From the surgical findings, brain abscesses such as cerebral tuberculoma were suspected, but various tests were negative. As a pathological result, the tumor had a capsule, and the inside showed necrotic tissue and fibrous granulation tissue reaction. There were no insects, and no obvious cells were identified by special staining. From the origin area, symptoms, and pathological findings, neurocysticercosis was most suspected. CONCLUSION We experienced a case of suspected neurocysticercosis that was difficult to diagnose from images and pathological findings. In neurocysticercosis, when the worm body dies, contrast-enhanced MRI shows a ring-like enhancement effect, and it is accompanied by surrounding edema, which may require differentiation from brain tumors.

On the magnetic resonance image (MRI), a tumorous lesion was found in the anterior skull base and was referred to our department. No dysosmia, visual impairment, or cafe au lait spots were observed. Past history: As a medical history, she has developed acute lymphocytic leukemia at the age of 1 and has achieved complete remission after chemotherapy. At that time, radiation treatment to the head was not performed. Neuroradiological findings: The tumor was strongly enhanced heterogeneously in Gadolinium (Gd) enhanced MRI and the angiography showed hypovascular. Progress after hospitalization: The tumor was clearly demarcated from the surrounding brain surface and adhered strongly to the cribriform plate. Eventually, all tumors were removed and the patient was discharged on the 10th postoperative day. Five years have passed since the operation, and no recurrence of the tumor has been confirmed by MRI. Pathological findings: Antoni A and Antoni B were seen by Hematoxylin & Eosin (H & E) staining. Immunostaining showed S-100 strong positive, Schwann / 2E and Sox10 positive, and CD57 negative. Discussion: In our case, CD57 (Leu7) was negative, but Schwann / 2E and Sox10 were positive, so OGS was diagnosed. CONCLUSION We experienced a case of OGS that was negative for CD57 (Leu7) but positive for Schwann / 2E and Sox10. For pathological differentiation between OGS and the OEC tumor, Schwann / 2E and Sox10 immunostaining would also be necessary in addition to H & E stain and CD57 (Leu7).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We report a rare case in which a pituitary tumor co-occurred with a giant mucocele. The mucocele's computed tomography(CT)values fell markedly when it collapsed, and we report the associated considerations. CASE This case involved a 42-year-old male patient. For 20 years, his visual acuity had progressively declined, and it suddenly rapidly worsened over a month. Cranial CT revealed a massive tumor in the sphenoid sinus and a pituitary tumor. A region of high absorption extended from the paranasal sinus to the skull base. Two days after the patient's initial presentation, he experienced a sudden loss of vision. Therefore, we performed an urgent re-examination. The CT value of the paranasal lesion was found to have sharply declined. The sinus lesion was diagnosed as a mucocele. Emergent endoscopic surgery was performed. <i>Actinomyces meyeri</i> was detected in the samples cultures. DISCUSSION The causes of mucocele exhibiting abnormally high signal intensity on CT include the accumulation of hemosiderin due to repeated bleeding in the cyst. Furthermore, we inferred that the <i>Actinomyces meyeri</i> had been taking up metallic elements in vivo for a long time. The marked reduction in the lesion's CT value was considered to have been due to the destruction of the mucocele. The contents of the mucocele flowed out and were replaced with newly produced mucus, which exhibits low absorption values. CONCLUSION We treated a patient with a giant mucocele involving distraction of the frontal base and a pituitary adenoma. In such cases, surgery should be performed when visual acuity deteriorates suddenly.

Abstract
We have experimentally studied a magnetopiezoelectric effect predicted recently for magnetic metals with low crystal symmetries. In EuMnBi_{2} with antiferromagnetic Mn moments at 77 K, dynamic displacements emerge along the a direction upon application of ac electric fields in the c direction and increase in proportion to the applied electric fields. Such displacements are not observed along the c direction of EuMnBi_{2} or EuZnBi_{2} with nonmagnetic Zn ions. As temperature increases from 77 K, the displacement signals decrease and disappear at about 200 K, above which electric conduction changes from coherent to incoherent. These results demonstrate the emergence of the magnetopiezoelectric effect in a magnetic metal lacking inversion and time-reversal symmetries.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: TNBC molecular subtype classification updated by Lehmann et al. includes 4 subtypes: basal-like 1 and 2 (BL1), (BL2), mesenchymal (M), and luminal androgen receptor (LAR), and as a modifier of these subtypes, an Immunomodulatory (IM) gene expression signature. However, molecular subtypes have not been linked to morphological features of TNBC. Apocrine carcinoma has been proposed as a TNBC category that expresses androgen receptor. LAR-subtype TNBC has a poor response to neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST). We hypothesized that defining the apocrine-featured TNBC by morphology and molecular subtype predict the prognosis of patients with residual disease after NST. Methods: We created the Pan-Pacific TNBC Consortium dataset, which contains paired samples of matched pre and post-NST TNBC tumors from 4 institutions. All patients received NST and didn't have a pathological complete response (pCR). Three pathologists examined hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides of 86 pre-NST samples and determined (1) the presence of apocrine differentiation, (2) the level of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), (3) the histological grade (HG), and (4) the rate of necrosis. These morphological features were compared among the subtypes. For a sample to be considered apocrine positive, apocrine differentiation had to be identified by 2 or more pathologists. Fisher's exact test was used to test the association of subtypes and morphological features. The log-rank test was used to compare disease-free survival (DFS). Results: Twelve of 24 (50%) apocrine-positive tumor samples were LAR subtype, and12 of 17 (70%) LAR-subtype tumor samples exhibited apocrine differentiation. The other subtypes showed following: BL1, 11/44 (25%); BL2, 0/7 (0%); M, 1/10 (10%); unclassified, 0/8 (0%). The median follow-up time was 22 months. In all populations, 2-year DFS rates were higher in patients with apocrine-positive tumors than in those whose tumors did not exhibit apocrine differentiation (P = .027; 2-year DFS, 85% vs 54%). The LAR subtype was also associated with lower HG, although LAR tumors had a similar prognosis to the other subtypes. In the combined analysis of subtypes and apocrine differentiation, patients with apocrine-positive LAR tumors had a higher 2-year DFS rate than did those with apocrine-negative LAR tumors (P = .044; 2-year DFS, 88% vs. 30%). However, patients with apocrine-positive BL1 tumors had no better DFS than did those with apocrine-negative BL1 tumors (P = .133). TIL levels and the presence of the IM signature were positively associated (P = .01), and apocrine differentiation positivity tended to be negatively associated with TIL level (P = .06). Neither TIL level nor IM signature was associated with survival. Conclusion: Apocrine differentiation was associated with the LAR subtype of TNBC and better prognosis in patients who did not have a pCR. The LAR subtype alone did not predict DFS; however, LAR tumors with apocrine differentiation had a better prognosis than did LAR tumors without apocrine differentiation. Using a combination of morphologic and genomic testing may be helpful in determining the prognosis of patients with apocrine-positive TNBC tumors who have residual disease after NST.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) primary inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) has a poorer prognosis than ER+ primary non-IBC. Our objective was to determine the association between ER positivity and survival outcome in order to elucidate the biological reason that ER+ IBC is more aggressive than non-IBC.
Methods
We retrospectively determined the relationship between ER expression by immunohistochemistry staining and neoadjuvant chemotherapy response as well as survival outcome for 189 patients with ER+ and HER2-negative (HER2-) IBC and 896 case-matched patients with stage III non-IBC seen at MD Anderson Cancer Center between January 1989 and April 2015. We performed gene expression (GE) analysis for 39 patients with ER+/HER2- IBC and 40 patients with non-IBC to detect genes that are specifically overexpressed in IBC. Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards model were used to determine the predictive and prognostic value of percentages of cells positive for ER and progesterone receptor (PR) among the patients with ER+/HER2- IBC and non-IBC. Recursive partitioning analysis (RPA) was used to determine the optimal cutoff points for ER% and progesterone receptor (PR) % that maximized differences in survival. The identified cutoff points were tested in an external cohort of 192 ER+/HER2- IBC patients from Institut Paoli-Calmettes in France.
Results
The median values for ER% for IBC and non-IBC were 85 (range, 1-100) and 90 (range, 1-100), respectively. The logistic regression model demonstrated a lack of a relationship of ER% with pathological complete response rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy both in IBC (P=0.29) and non-IBC (P=0.14). Expression of ER was significantly associated with distant disease-free survival (DDFS); hazard ratio (HR), 0.56 [95% CI, 0.37-0.83] per 50% increase in ER%; P<0.05). Also, ER% was significantly associated with overall survival (OS) (HR, 0.40 [95% CI, 0.25-0.63] per 50% increase in ER%; P<0.05). RPA showed that 91.5% and 9.0% were the optimal cutoff points for ER% and PR%, respectively, for DDFS and overall survival in IBC patients. However, the cutoff points could not be validated in the French external cohort. In the GE study, 84 genes were detected as significantly distinguishing ER+ IBC from non-IBC. Among the top 15 canonical pathways shown by IPA, the ERK/MAPK signaling pathway, PDGF pathway, insulin receptor signaling pathway, and IL-7 signaling pathway were associated with the ER signaling pathway. MYC upregulation was observed in three of these four pathways. Indeed, ER+/HER- IBC had significantly higher MYC amplification compared to those with non-IBC (P<0.05) and higher MYC level was associated with poor relapse free survival for IBC (HR, 1.85 [95% CI, 1.05-2.70], P<0.05).
Conclusions
Increased ER positivity was significantly associated with improved survival in ER+/HER- IBC patients. ER+/HER- IBC had several activated pathways with MYC upregulation compared to non-IBC. MYC upregulation was associated with a poor survival outcome for ER+/HER- IBC. The results indicate that MYC is a key gene for understanding the aggressive biological behavior of ER+/HER- IBC.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic low-grade glioma(LGG)without malignant transformation is rare, accounting for less than 1% of cases. To the best of our knowledge, hemorrhagic LGG with an arteriovenous(AV)shunt has not been reported. We report the case of 17-year-old man with LGG with an AV shunt. He presented to our hospital with seizure. Computed tomography(CT)demonstrated a hypodense lesion with mass effect in the right frontal lobe. T1-weighted images(WI)and T2WI on magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)revealed acute-onset hemorrhage in the right frontal lobe. Furthermore, a ring-enhancing lesion was noted on gadolinium(Gd)-DTPA T1WI, and an AV shunt was found in the same region on angiography. Gross total tumor resection was performed. The pathological diagnosis was diffuse astrocytoma with pilomyxoid features(WHO grade II). Without adjuvant therapy, no residual tumor was found on MRI at the 6-year follow-up examination. We treated a case of hemorrhagic LGG with an AV shunt. Intratumoral hemorrhage in LGG may occur and should be considered for the differential diagnosis.

Abstract
Asymmetric nuclear collisions of p+Al, p+Au, d+Au, and ^{3}He+Au at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV provide an excellent laboratory for understanding particle production, as well as exploring interactions among these particles after their initial creation in the collision. We present measurements of charged hadron production dN_{ch}/dη in all such collision systems over a broad pseudorapidity range and as a function of collision multiplicity. A simple wounded quark model is remarkably successful at describing the full data set. We also measure the elliptic flow v_{2} over a similarly broad pseudorapidity range. These measurements provide key constraints on models of particle emission and their translation into flow.

Abstract
Male breast cancer accounts for less than 1.0% of all breast cancer cases, and its brain metastasis is very rare. We encountered a male patient in whom brain metastasis occurred more than 20 years after the development of breast cancer. The patient was a 78-year-old male who underwent surgery for right breast cancer 24 years ago. Nausea and anorexia had appeared 2 months earlier, and the patient was referred to our department because a brain tumor was suspected on MRI. A 4×4-cm tumorous lesion was observed in the right temporal lobe, and it was heterogeneously enhanced with gadolinium. Suspecting a metastatic brain tumor, tumor resection with craniotomy was performed. Through pathological examination, the patient was diagnosed with brain metastasis of the breast cancer. Whole-brain irradiation was additionally performed. The patient recovered smoothly without neurological deficit and was discharged. No intracranial recurrence was noted on follow-up imaging, but the general condition aggravated, and the patient died after 13 months. Breast cancer in males may metastasize to the brain after a prolonged period in rare cases, for which follow-up examinations by imaging may be necessary.

Abstract
Acute short duration of disuse induces the development of insulin resistance for glucose uptake in rodent skeletal muscle. Because thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) has been implicated in the downregulation of insulin signaling and glucose uptake, we examined the possibility that muscle disuse rapidly induces insulin resistance via increased TXNIP mRNA and protein expression. Male Wistar rats were subjected to unilateral 6-h hindlimb immobilization by plaster cast. At the end of this period, the soleus muscles from both immobilized and contralateral nonimmobilized hindlimbs were excised and examined. The 6-h immobilization resulted in an increase in TXNIP mRNA and protein expressions together with a decrease in insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose uptake in the rat soleus muscle. Additionally, in the rats euthanized 6 h after the plaster cast removal, TXNIP protein expression and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in the immobilized muscle had both been restored to a normal level. Various interventions (pretreatment with transcription inhibitor actinomycin D or AMP-dependent protein kinase activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) also suppressed the increase in TXNIP protein expression in 6-h-immobilized muscle together with partial prevention of insulin resistance for glucose uptake. These results suggested the possibility that increased TXNIP protein expression in immobilized rat soleus muscles was associated with the rapid induction of insulin resistance for glucose uptake in that tissue. NEW & NOTEWORTHY The cellular mechanism by which disuse rapidly induces muscle insulin resistance for glucose uptake remains to be identified. Using a rat hindlimb immobilization model, our findings suggest the possibility that transcriptional upregulation of thioredoxin-interacting protein is associated with the immobilization-induced rapid development of insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of acute epidural hematoma not accompanied by fracture is low, and it mostly occurs right below the impact point in children. Acute epidural hematoma on the contralateral side of the impact point without fracture is very rare. CASE PRESENTATION Case 1: a 52-year-old Japanese woman fell and was bruised in the left occipital region, and acute epidural hematoma developed in the right frontal region. No fracture line was observed in the right frontal region on head computed tomography or during surgery, and the source of bleeding was the middle meningeal artery. Case 2: a 56-year-old Japanese man fell down the stairs and was bruised in the right occipital region, and acute epidural hematoma developed in the right occipital supra- and infratentorial regions and left frontal region. Separation of the lambdoid suture was noted in the right occipital region, but no fracture line was present in the left frontal region on either head computed tomography or during surgery, and the source of bleeding was the middle meningeal artery. CONCLUSIONS Two rare cases of frontal contrecoup acute epidural hematoma without facture near the hematoma were reported. It is possible that the dura mater detaches from the inner surface of the skull due to cavitation theory-related negative pressure and blood vessels in the dura mater are damaged, causing contrecoup acute epidural hematoma even though no fracture occurs, for which careful course observation is necessary.

Abstract
Lightwave-field-induced ultrafast electric dipole oscillation is promising for realizing petahertz (1015 Hz: PHz) signal processing in the future. In building the ultrahigh-clock-rate logic operation system, one of the major challenges will be petahertz electron manipulation accompanied with multiple frequencies. Here we study multi-petahertz interference with electronic dipole oscillations in alumina with chromium dopant (Cr:Al2O3). An intense near-infrared lightwave-field induces multiple electric inter-band polarizations, which are characterized by Fourier transform extreme ultraviolet attosecond spectroscopy. The interference results from the superposition state of periodic dipole oscillations of 667 to 383 attosecond (frequency of 1.5 to 2.6 PHz) measured by direct time-dependent spectroscopy and consists of various modulations on attosecond time scale through individual electron dephasing times of the Cr donor-like and Al2O3 conduction band states. The results indicate the possible manipulation of petahertz interference signal with multiple dipole oscillations using material band engineering and such a control will contribute to the study of ultrahigh-speed signal operation. Signal processing in electronic devices is in the THz regime. Here the authors measure NIR lightwave-field-induced multiple dipole oscillations in Cr:Al2O3 in the time domain reaching PHz scale by using an isolated attosecond pulse and this method shows potential for higher speed signal processing.

Abstract
Recombinant thrombomodulin (rTM) has pleiotrophic properties, including anti-coagulation and anti-inflammation; however, its effectiveness as a treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) has not been evaluated fully. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and proinflammatory cytokines, working as inflammatory mediators, are reportedly involved in the inflammatory pathogenesis of MS. The aim of this study was to determine whether rTM can be a potential therapeutic agent for experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). EAE mice received rTM treatment (1 mg or 0·1 mg/kg/day) from days 11 to 15 after immunization. The clinical variables, plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines and HMGB1 and pathological findings in EAE were evaluated. rTM administration ameliorated the clinical and pathological severity of EAE. An immunohistochemical study of the spinal cord showed weaker cytoplasmic HMGB1 staining in the rTM-treated EAE mice than in the untreated EAE mice. Plasma levels of inflammatory cytokines and HMGB1 were suppressed by rTM treatment. In conclusion, rTM down-regulated inflammatory mediators in the peripheral circulation and prevented HMGB1 release from nuclei in the central nervous system, suppressing EAE-related inflammation. rTM could have a novel therapeutic potential for patients with MS.

Abstract
Recently, multiparticle-correlation measurements of relativistic p/d/^{3}He+Au, p+Pb, and even p+p collisions show surprising collective signatures. Here, we present beam-energy-scan measurements of two-, four-, and six-particle angular correlations in d+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200, 62.4, 39, and 19.6 GeV. We also present measurements of two- and four-particle angular correlations in p+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. We find the four-particle cumulant to be real valued for d+Au collisions at all four energies. We also find that the four-particle cumulant in p+Au has the opposite sign as that in d+Au. Further, we find that the six-particle cumulant agrees with the four-particle cumulant in d+Au collisions at 200 GeV, indicating that nonflow effects are subdominant. These observations provide strong evidence that the correlations originate from the initial geometric configuration, which is then translated into the momentum distribution for all particles, commonly referred to as collectivity.

Abstract
During 2015, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provided collisions of transversely polarized protons with Au and Al nuclei for the first time, enabling the exploration of transverse-single-spin asymmetries with heavy nuclei. Large single-spin asymmetries in very forward neutron production have been previously observed in transversely polarized p+p collisions at RHIC, and the existing theoretical framework that was successful in describing the single-spin asymmetry in p+p collisions predicts only a moderate atomic-mass-number (A) dependence. In contrast, the asymmetries observed at RHIC in p+A collisions showed a surprisingly strong A dependence in inclusive forward neutron production. The observed asymmetry in p+Al collisions is much smaller, while the asymmetry in p+Au collisions is a factor of 3 larger in absolute value and of opposite sign. The interplay of different neutron production mechanisms is discussed as a possible explanation of the observed A dependence.

Abstract
A 59-year-old man had been admitted to our hospital because of general malaise and abdominal fullness caused by massive ascites. He was diagnosed with alcoholic liver cirrhosis. Following the removal of ascites, he was referred to our department because of hematochezia. Emergent colonoscopy revealed the rupture of ascending colonic varices. Endoscopic variceal sclerotherapy using topical skin adhesive (75% Histoacryl) was performed to treat the colonic varices, which proved to be an effective treatment. Enhanced computerized tomography performed 5 days after the treatment of ascending colonic varices showed complete obstruction of the ileocolic varices without complication. It is important to consider the possibility of ectopic varices when a patient with liver cirrhosis reports bloody stool.
