Abstract
INTRODUCTION Traditionally, relapsed SCLC has been classified as "sensitive" or "refractory" on the basis of cutoff values (60 or 90 d) for the duration between the last chemotherapy and disease progression. Nevertheless, these cutoff values are not derived from rigorous analytical methods, and their applicability to contemporary treatments remains uncertain. METHODS We conducted a retrospective multicenter study on patients with extensive-stage SCLC who underwent second-line therapy after platinum-doublet chemotherapy with or without immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) resistance before (pre-ICI cohort) and after (post-ICI cohort) approval of combination immunotherapy. We selected the optimal platinum-free interval cutoff value with the lowest two-sided p value in the multivariable Cox regression model for second-line overall survival. The internal validity of the chosen cutoff value was assessed using twofold cross-validation. RESULTS There were 235 and 98 patients in the pre-ICI and post-ICI cohorts, respectively. In the pre-ICI cohort, the optimal cutoff was 59 days (p = 0.0001); the hazard ratio calculated using twofold cross-validation was 1.31 (95% confidence interval: 0.95-1.82]). In the post-ICI cohort, although the 60- and 90-day cutoff values could predict prognosis (60 d; p = 0.002, 90 d; p = 0.005), the optimal cutoff value was 75 days (p = 0.0002), which resulted in a median second-line overall survival of 15.9 and 5.0 months for patients with sensitive and refractory relapse, respectively (hazard ratio = 2.77, 95% confidence interval: 1.56-4.93). CONCLUSIONS We clarified the previously ambiguous cutoff values for classifying relapsed SCLC and revealed that the 75-day cutoff most accurately predicts subsequent prognosis than the traditional cutoffs in the post-ICI era.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Treatment options for patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment failure are limited. An exploratory analysis of 26 patients in the IMpower150 study indicated that treatment with atezolizumab, bevacizumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel (ABCP) was effective in patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC. This phase II study was conducted to assess the efficacy of ABCP in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients after TKI treatment. METHODS Patients with non-squamous NSCLC harboring sensitizing EGFR mutations were enrolled. ABCP therapy was administered every 3 weeks for four cycles, followed by maintenance therapy with atezolizumab and bevacizumab. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) according to extramural review (ER). Key secondary endpoints and preplanned analysis included overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), and differences in the efficacy of ABCP according to prior EGFR-TKI administration, liver metastases, and brain metastases. RESULTS Sixty patients from 26 centers were enrolled. Median PFS was 7.4 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 5.7-8.2). The median OS was 23.1 months (95% CI: 13.1-not reached), and the ORR was 55.9%. PFS was significantly shorter in patients who had received osimertinib as a first-line treatment (7.2 months vs. 7.4 months, hazard ratio [HR] 1.932, p = 0.023), those with brain metastases (5.7 months vs. 8 months, HR 1.86, p = 0.032), or those with liver metastases (5.4 months vs. 7.9 months, HR 2.779, p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Although this study did not meet the primary endpoint, ABCP showed clinically meaningful efficacy in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis (ILD/pneumonitis) has been identified as a drug-related adverse event of special interest of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd), but there were a few reports of T-DXd-related ILD/pneumonitis in clinical practice. METHODS Between May 25, 2020 (the launch of T-DXd in Japan) and February 24, 2022, there were 287 physician-reported potential ILD/pneumonitis cases from the Japanese post-marketing all-case surveillance. By February 27, 2022, an independent adjudication committee assessed 138 cases and adjudicated 130 cases as T-DXd-related ILD/pneumonitis. The clinical features and imaging characteristics of these cases were evaluated. RESULTS The majority of adjudicated T-DXd-related ILD/pneumonitis cases were grade 1 or 2 (100/130, 76.9%). The most common radiological pattern types observed were organizing pneumonia patterns (63.1%), hypersensitivity pneumonitis patterns (16.9%), and diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) patterns (14.6%). Eleven cases (8.5%) from 130 resulted in death; the majority of these (8/11, 72.7%) had DAD patterns. The overall proportion of recovery (including the outcomes of recovered, recovered with sequelae, and recovering) was 76.9%, and the median time to recovery was 83.5 days (interquartile range: 42.25-143.75 days). Most cases (59/71, 83.1%) that were treated with corticosteroids were considered responsive to treatment. CONCLUSIONS This is the first report to evaluate T-DXd-related ILD/pneumonitis cases in clinical practice. Our findings are consistent with previous reports and suggest that patients with DAD patterns have poor outcomes. Evaluation of a larger real-world dataset may further identify predictors of clinical outcome.

Abstract
Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) models are powerful in silico tools for predicting the mutagenicity of unstable compounds, impurities and metabolites that are difficult to examine using the Ames test. Ideally, Ames/QSAR models for regulatory use should demonstrate high sensitivity, low false-negative rate and wide coverage of chemical space. To promote superior model development, the Division of Genetics and Mutagenesis, National Institute of Health Sciences, Japan (DGM/NIHS), conducted the Second Ames/QSAR International Challenge Project (2020-2022) as a successor to the First Project (2014-2017), with 21 teams from 11 countries participating. The DGM/NIHS provided a curated training dataset of approximately 12,000 chemicals and a trial dataset of approximately 1,600 chemicals, and each participating team predicted the Ames mutagenicity of each trial chemical using various Ames/QSAR models. The DGM/NIHS then provided the Ames test results for trial chemicals to assist in model improvement. Although overall model performance on the Second Project was not superior to that on the First, models from the eight teams participating in both projects achieved higher sensitivity than models from teams participating in only the Second Project. Thus, these evaluations have facilitated the development of QSAR models.

Abstract
Nintedanib reduces the decline in forced vital capacity and extends the time to the first acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease (AE-ILD). However, the effect of additional nintedanib administration after AE-ILD onset is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of nintedanib administration after AE-ILD development. We retrospectively collected the data of 33 patients who developed AE-ILD between April 2014 and January 2022. Eleven patients who received nintedanib after AE-ILD development and the remaining who did not were classified into the N and No-N groups, respectively. The survival time in the N group tended to be longer than that in the No-N group. The generalized Wilcoxson test revealed that the cumulative mortality at 90 days from AE-ILD onset was significantly lower in the N group. The time to subsequent AE-ILD development was significantly longer in the N group than that in the No-N group. The incidence of adverse gastrointestinal effects and liver dysfunction in the N group was 9-18%. Treatment without nintedanib after AE-ILD development and the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure to fractional inspired oxygen were significant independent prognostic factors in the multivariate analysis. Thus, nintedanib administration may be a treatment option for AE-ILD.

Abstract
Introduction Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death, and COPD exacerbation worsens the prognosis. Eosinophilic airway inflammation is a COPD phenotype that causes COPD exacerbation and is correlated with peripheral blood eosinophil count. We analyzed real-world data of COPD patients to assess the risk factors of COPD exacerbation focusing on blood eosinophils. Materials and Methods Patients with COPD who visited our hospital between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2018, were recruited, and their background information, spirometry data, laboratory test results, and moderate-to-severe exacerbation events during the one-year follow-up period were collected from the electronic medical records and analyzed. The COPD exacerbation risk factors were assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results Twenty-two of 271 (8.1%) patients experienced moderate-to-severe exacerbation. Patients with exacerbation showed worse pulmonary function, and we found that a high blood eosinophil count (≥350 cells/μL; p=0.014), low % FEV1 (<50%; p=0.002), increase in white blood cell (≥9000 cells/μL; p=0.039), and use of home oxygen therapy (p=0.005) were risk factors for future exacerbations. We also found a strong correlation between eosinophil count cut-offs and exacerbation risk (r = 0.89, p < 0.001). On the other hand, there was no relation between exacerbation risk and inhalation therapy for COPD. Conclusion In a real-world setting, peripheral blood eosinophil count could be a predictor of future COPD exacerbation.

Abstract
Over the years, there has been considerable variation in the bull conception rate (BCR) of Japanese Black cattle; moreover, several Japanese Black bulls with a low BCR of ≤10% have been identified. However, the alleles responsible for the low BCR are not determined yet. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for predicting low BCR. To this end, the genome of Japanese Black bulls was comprehensively examined by a genome-wide association study with whole-exome sequencing (WES), and the effect of the identified marker regions on BCR was determined. The WES analysis of six sub-fertile bulls with a BCR of ≤10% and 73 normal bulls with a BCR of ≥40% identified a homozygous genotype for low BCR in Bos taurus autosome 5 in the region between 116.2 and 117.9 Mb. The g.116408653G > A SNP in this region had the most significant effect on the BCR (P-value = 1.0 × 10-23), and the GG (55.4 ± 11.2%) and AG (54.4 ± 9.4%) genotypes in the SNP had a higher phenotype than the AA (9.5 ± 6.1%) genotype for the BCR. The mixed model analysis revealed that g.116408653G > A was related to approximately 43% of the total genetic variance. In conclusion, the AA genotype of g.116408653G > A is a useful index for identifying sub-fertile Japanese Black bulls. Some positive and negative effects of SNP on the BCR were presumed to identify the causative mutations, which can help evaluate bull fertility.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Research suggests that cardiometabolic disease risks are elevated among survivors of natural disasters, possibly mediated by changes in diet. Using the Brief Dietary History Questionnaire, we examined (1) dietary patterns among older survivors of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, and (2) the contribution of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS)/depressive symptoms, as well as relocation to temporary housing on dietary patterns and (3) gender differences in the associations. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Data came from a prospective cohort study of 1,375 survivors aged 65-89 years (44.6% male). MEASUREMENTS PTSS/depression onset was evaluated in 2013, 2.5 years after the disaster. Dietary data was collected with a self-administered brief-type diet history questionnaire in 2020. A principal component analysis identified three posterior dietary patterns. RESULTS Diet 1 consisted of high intake of vegetables, soy products, and fruits; Diet 2 consisted of carbohydrate-rich foods and snacks/sweets; Diet 3 consisted of high intake of alcoholic beverages, meat, and seafood. Least-squares linear regression revealed that individuals with PTSS/depression were less likely to exhibit Diet 1, while individuals with PTSS were more likely to exhibit Diet 2 and 3. Especially, males who had depression showed an unhealthy dietary pattern. Those who have lived in a trailer-style temporary housing reported less consumption of Diet 3. CONCLUSION Survivors of disaster with symptoms of mental illness tended to exhibit less healthy dietary patterns after 9 years. Diet varied by type of post-disaster mental illness, gender, and current social circumstances. We lacked pre-disaster BDHQ data, which is a limitation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cisplatin-based chemotherapy was established in the 1980s, and it has been improved by the development of a short hydration protocol in lung cancer therapy. However, cisplatin-based chemotherapy is still associated with renal toxicity. Because 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) with sodium ferrous citrate (SFC) is known to be a mitochondrial activator and a heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inducer, 5-ALA with SFC is speculated to mitigate cisplatin-induced renal inflammation. METHODS We investigated the effects of oral administration of 5-ALA with SFC for preventing cisplatin-based nephrotoxicity in patients with lung cancer and evaluated its benefits for patients who received cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The primary endpoint was the significance of the difference between the serum creatinine (sCr) levels of the patients administered 5-ALA with SFC and those given placebo after course 1 of chemotherapy. The difference in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between the two groups was also evaluated as the secondary endpoint. RESULTS The double-blind, randomized two-arm studies were conducted at 15 medical facilities in Japan; 54 male and 20 female patients with lung cancer who received cisplatin-based chemotherapy between the ages of 42 and 75 years were included in the study. The compliance rate was greater than 94% in the primary assessment and subsequent drug administration periods. All enrolled patients completed the four cycles of cisplatin-based chemotherapy with short hydration. The average level of sCr on day 22 of course 1 was 0.707 mg/dL in the group treated with 5-ALA and SFC and 0.735 mg/dL in the placebo group, respectively, and the sCr in the test group was significantly lower than that in the placebo group (p = 0.038). In addition, the eGFR was significantly higher in the SPP-003 group than in the placebo group up to day 1 of course 3 (84.66 and 75.68 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively, p = 0.02) and kept better even after the last administration of the study drug (82.37 and 73.49 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively, p = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS The oral administration of 5-ALA with SFC is beneficial to patients undergoing cisplatin-based chemotherapy for lung cancer with short hydration.

Abstract
Objective Based on the increasing incidence of smell and taste dysfunction among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, such issues have been considered an early symptom of infection. However, few studies have investigated the type of taste components that are most frequently affected in COVID-19 patients. This study investigated the difference in frequencies of the types of taste component disorders among hospitalized COVID-19 patients. Methods In this retrospective, single-center, observational study, patients' background characteristics, clinical course, laboratory and radiological findings, and details on taste and/or smell disorders were collected and analyzed from medical records. Patients A total of 227 COVID-19 patients were enrolled, among whom 92 (40.5%) complained of taste disorders. Results Multiple types of taste disorders (hypogeusia/ageusia and hypersensitivity, or hypersensitivity and changing tastes) were reported in 10 patients. In particular, 23 patients reported hypersensitivity to at least 1 type of taste, and 2 patients complained of a bitter taste on consuming sweet foods. Impairment of all taste components was found in 48 patients (52.2%). The most frequent taste disorder was salty taste disorder (81 patients, 89.0%). Hypersensitivity to salty taste was most frequently observed (19 patients, 20.9%). Conclusion Patients with COVID-19 develop multiple types of taste disorders, among which salty taste disorder was the most frequent, with many patients developing hypersensitivity to salty taste. As smell and taste are subjective senses, further studies with the combined use of objective examinations will be required to confirm the findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE The prognostic value of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) taken immediately after completion of radiotherapy in lung cancer patients is not well known. The purpose of this study is to assess the prognostic value of PET/CT taken immediately after completion of radiotherapy in lung cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with primary lung cancer planned to undergo concurrent chemoradiotherapy were enrolled. Patients underwent PET/CT scans at 3 time points: before radiotherapy, within 24hours of completing radiotherapy (im-PET/CT), and 2-9 months after radiotherapy (post-PET/CT). Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was obtained. A post-PET/CT-SUVmax cut-off of 2.5 was determined as radiotherapy success. RESULTS Nineteen patients were enrolled. im-PET/CT-SUVmax for patients in the high post-PET/CT-SUVmax group was significantly higher than that of the low group (P=0.004). Receiver operator curve analysis indicated that im-PET/CT-SUVmax of 4.35 was an optimal cut-off value to discriminate between the two groups. Multivariable analysis showed that a high im-PET/CT-SUVmax was significantly associated with a high post-PET/CT-SUVmax (P=0.003). CONCLUSION PET/CT-SUVmax taken immediately following radiotherapy was associated with that evaluated 2-9 months after radiotherapy.

Abstract
9110 Background: Previous studies have demonstrated poor clinical outcomes of patients (pts) with EGFRm NSCLC treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. However, a recent subgroup analysis of the IMpower150 trial suggested the effectiveness of ABCP in NSCLC with EGFRm. The aim of this study is to further evaluate efficacy and safety of ABCP in patients with EGFRm NSCLC. Methods: This single-arm multicenter phase 2 study included pts with nonsquamous NSCLC harboring sensitizing EGFRm with prior EGFR-TKI therapy. Pts received the combination dose of atezo 1200 mg, bev 15 mg/kg, carbo AUC 6 mg/mL/min and pac 175 mg/m2 every 3 weeks up to 4 cycles followed by atezo plus bev until loss of clinical benefit. The primary endpoint was PFS by extramural review (ER). The key secondary endpoints included OS, ORR, DoR, relative dose intensity of pac, and safety. Results: 60 pts were enrolled (median age 68 y [40–74 y], 67% were female, 55% were Ex19del and 40% were L858R). At data cutoff (November 30, 2021), median follow-up was 12.8 months in the ITT population. Median cycles of induction and maintenance therapy were 4 and 9, respectively. Median PFS was 7.4 month (95% CI, 5.7-8.2) and median OS was 18.9 month (95% CI, 13-not reached). Confirmed ORR by ER was 56% (95% CI, 43-69) and median DoR was 7.1 months (95% CI, 4.9-9.8). T790M was associated with a favorable PFS and response to the combination therapy (PFS 8.1 vs 6.8, ORR 71% vs 50%). Relative dose intensity of pac was 84%. Grade ≥3 adverse events (AEs) were reported in 92% of pts and the most common grade ≥3 AE was neutropenia (63%). Interstitial lung disease occurred in one patient (2%). AEs leading to treatment discontinuation occurred in 12% of pts. Conclusions: NEJ043 study showed that the median PFS of ABCP was 7.4 months with good tolerability. We will continue to investigate the tail plateau phenomenon of PFS and OS to conclude the clinical efficacy. Clinical trial information: 031190066.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac myosin–binding protein C (cMyC) is a cardiac-restricted protein that has more abundant, rapid release and clearance kinetics than cardiac troponin. The current ESC guideline suggests the cMyC may provide value as an alternative to cardiac troponin. The 99th percentile value is universally endorsed as the reference cut off to aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), however, none of the report of healthy population of cMyC.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of cMyC values in healthy subjects.
Methods
We used two cohorts in this retrospective study. 1) Healthy subjects; a total of 500 subjects (250 men and 250 women) who had annual health examinations in 2012 in the area of Kamigoto, a suburb of Nagasaki city in Southern Japan were enrolled. All participants showed none of abnormal findings including cell blood counts, chemical analysis, liver function tests, general urine tests, occult blood tests of stool, barium swallow, mammography for women, abdominal ultrasound sonography, and electrocardiogram. All blood samples were obtained in a fasting state in the morning. 2) Chest pain subjects; we collected samples from 250 subjects including 50 with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction visited admitted to a university hospital for measurement of high-sensitivity troponin T and coronary artery assessment by coronary angiography. We measured cMyC level in both cohorts by HISCL™-800 system (Sysmex corporation, Japan). The assay has a limit of detection of 0.5 ng/L and a lower limit of quantification of 1.3 ng/L.
Result
In healthy subjects, median age (IQR) was 44 (20, 82) in men and 50 (23, 91) in women. The 99th percentile of cMyC was 27.3 ng/L, which was around one-third lower than that in previous report (87 ng/L). In chest pain subjects, the concentrations of cMyC at presentation were significantly higher in those with versus without AMI (median, 66 ng/L versus 10 ng/L, P<0.001). Discriminatory power for AMI, as quantified by the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC), was comparable for cMyC (AUC, 0.85 (95% CI 0.79–0.91) and hs-cTnT (AUC, 0.81 (95% CI 0.76–0.88)).
Conclusion
We defined the normal range of cMyC in healthy Japanese subjects. The level of cMyC at presentation provides discriminatory power comparable to hs-cTnT in the diagnosis of AMI. To determine the physiological value of a biomarker may be necessary to evaluate enough information about their health status.

Abstract
A 77-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of right lower abdominal pain. CT revealed tumors in the ileum and uterine cervix. After a gynecological biopsy of the uterine tumor, we diagnosed Stage Ⅳ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. We treated her with R-THPCOP chemotherapy. On day 8 after the first chemotherapy, she developed perforated peritonitis, and an emergency partial ileum resection was performed. Histopathologically, viable cells were not found in the resected intestine. Chemotherapy was resumed on postoperative day 21, and she achieved a complete response 8 months after the surgery. Gastrointestinal malignant lymphoma is sometimes reported in cases requiring emergency surgery. Therefore, information sharing between hematologist and surgeon is recommended.

Abstract
Electron correlation in a quantum many-body state appears as peculiar scattering behaviour at its boundary, symbolic of which is Andreev reflection at a metal-superconductor interface. Despite being fundamental in nature, dictated by the charge conservation law, however, the process has had no analogues outside the realm of superconductivity so far. Here, we report the observation of an Andreev-like process originating from a topological quantum many-body effect instead of superconductivity. A narrow junction between fractional and integer quantum Hall states shows a two-terminal conductance exceeding that of the constituent fractional state. This remarkable behaviour, while theoretically predicted more than two decades ago but not detected to date, can be interpreted as Andreev reflection of fractionally charged quasiparticles. The observed fractional quantum Hall Andreev reflection provides a fundamental picture that captures microscopic charge dynamics at the boundaries of topological quantum many-body states.

Abstract
Nivolumab can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD), which may be fatal; however, mortality risk factors have not been identified. This postmarketing study evaluated the poor prognostic factors of ILD in nivolumab-treated patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Japan. Clinical and chest imaging findings for each ILD case were assessed by an expert central review committee, and prognosis was evaluated by radiographic findings, including the presence/absence of peritumoral ground-glass opacity (peritumoral-GGO). Poor prognostic factors were identified by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Of the 238 patients with nivolumab-induced ILD, 37 died. The main radiographic patterns of ILD were cryptogenic organizing pneumonia/chronic eosinophilic pneumonia-like (53.4%), faint infiltration pattern/acute hypersensitivity pneumonia-like (20.2%), diffuse alveolar damage (DAD)-like (10.9%), and nonspecific interstitial pneumonia-like (6.3%). The main poor prognostic factors identified were DAD-like pattern (highest hazard ratio: 10.72), ≤60 days from the start of nivolumab treatment to the onset of ILD, pleural effusion before treatment, lesion distribution contralateral or bilateral to the tumor, and abnormal change in C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Of the 37 deaths due to ILD, 17 had DAD-like radiographic pattern, three had peritumoral-GGO, and five had a change in radiographic pattern from non-DAD at the onset to DAD-like. Patients with NSCLC who develop ILD during nivolumab treatment should be managed carefully if they have poor prognostic factors such as DAD-like radiographic pattern, onset of ILD ≤60 days from nivolumab initiation, pleural effusion before nivolumab treatment, lesion distribution contralateral or bilateral to the tumor, and abnormal changes in CRP levels.

Abstract
Background Zinc‐finger E‐box‐binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) is an important regulator of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) and is involved in the maintenance of cancer stem cells (CSCs) via miR‐200c and BMI1 pathway. Recent studies revealed that ZEB1 contributes to the EMT‐mediated acquired resistance to gefitinib in EGFR‐mutant non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the precise role of ZEB1 in the maintenance of lung CSCs that lead to acquired resistance to gefitinib remains unclear. Methods PC9 and HCC827 NSCLC cell lines were treated with high concentrations of gefitinib, and surviving cells were referred to as “gefitinib‐resistant persisters” (GRPs). ZEB1 knockdown or overexpression was performed to determine the biological significance of ZEB1 in the CSC features of GRPs, and animal models were studied for in vivo validation. Expression of ZEB1, BMI1, and ALDH1A1 was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in tumor specimens from NSCLC patients with acquired resistance to gefitinib. Results GRPs had characteristic features of mesenchymal and CSC phenotypes with high expression of ZEB1 and BMI1, and decreased miR‐200c, in vitro and in vivo. ZEB1 silencing attenuated the suppression of miR‐200c, resulting in the reduction in BMI1 and reversed the mesenchymal and CSC features of GRPs. Furthermore, ZEB1 overexpression induced EMT and increased the levels of CD133‐ and BMI1‐positive GRPs in vitro and gefitinib resistance in vivo. Finally, ZEB1, BMI1, and ALDH1A1 were highly expressed in tumor specimens from EGFR‐mutant NSCLC patients with gefitinib resistance. Conclusions ZEB1 plays an important role in gefitinib‐resistant lung CSCs with EMT features via regulation of miR‐200c and BMI1.

Abstract
Nivolumab, a human monoclonal antibody against programmed death‐1, is approved for the treatment of non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although nivolumab is generally well tolerated, it can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD), a rare but potentially fatal immune‐related adverse event. Currently, there are limited data available on the treatment of nivolumab‐induced ILD and its outcome. This retrospective cohort study based on a post–marketing study described the treatment of nivolumab‐induced ILD and its outcome in NSCLC patients in Japan through the assessment of clinical and chest imaging findings by an expert central review committee. Treatment details for patients who experienced a relapse of ILD were also analyzed. Of the 238 patients identified as having nivolumab‐induced ILD, 37 patients died of ILD. Corticosteroids were used in 207 (87.0%) patients. Of those, 172 (83.1%) patients responded well and survived and 35 (16.9%) died (most died during corticosteroid treatment). A total of nine patients experienced a relapse; at the time of relapse, four patients were taking nivolumab. Of those who were receiving corticosteroids at the time of relapse, three of four patients were taking low doses or had nearly completed dose tapering. All patients (except one, whose treatment was unknown) received corticosteroids for the treatment of relapse, but one patient died. Patients with NSCLC who experience nivolumab‐induced ILD are treated effectively with corticosteroids, and providing extra care when ceasing or reducing the corticosteroid dose may prevent relapse of ILD.

Abstract
Calf mortality is a major problem affecting cattle production. To identify genetic variants associated with calf mortality in Japanese Black cattle, we evaluated calf mortality as a categorical trait using a threshold model and conducted a GWAS. We identified two SNPs between 32 549 297 and 32 606 924 bp on bovine chromosome 9 that were significantly associated with calf mortality from 61 to 180 days after birth. The SNP showing the highest association was localized at a region 624 bp downstream of exon 4 of the anti-silencing function 1A histone chaperone gene (ASF1A) that promotes DNA damage repair, and the null mice, which exhibit pre- and postnatal lethality. This association was also detected using the breeding value of 334 sires. The frequency of the risk allele in Japanese Black cattle from locations across Japan was 0.013; although the frequency of ASF1A risk allele was low, it is widespread in the Japanese Black cattle population. Thus, it may be necessary to routinely monitor the cattle population for the presence of this allele.

Abstract
Purpose The INPULSIS-ON study suggested the safety and tolerability of long-term nintedanib treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, there are no real-world studies on long-term nintedanib treatment. The main aim of the study was to investigate the efficacy and the tolerability of long-term treatment with nintedanib for IPF in clinical practice. Patients and Methods This retrospective study enrolled 104 IPF patients who underwent treatment with nintedanib. Among these patients, 51 were able to receive nintedanib for more than 12 months (ie, treatment with nintedanib over 12 months was possible [P group]) and 53 were not able to receive nintedanib for more than 12 months (ie, treatment with nintedanib over 12 months was impossible [I group]). The tolerability and efficacy of nintedanib were compared between the two groups. Results In the I group, 29 patients were unable to continue nintedanib therapy because of adverse effects, including diarrhea and nausea/anorexia. In addition, 19 and four patients could not continue nintedanib treatment because of IPF progression and worsening of performance status (PS), respectively. One patient suddenly died during nintedanib treatment. The incidence of nausea/anorexia in the I group was significantly higher than in the P group (49.06 vs 25.49%). The survival time was significantly longer in the P group than in the I group (35 vs 12 months). The decline in forced vital capacity was significantly larger in the I group than in the P group (165 vs 10 mL/year). Poor PS at nintedanib initiation was the only significant risk factor for nintedanib treatment discontinuation over 12 months. Finally, the survival time was significantly longer in patients with good PS than in those with poor PS (27 vs 13 months). Conclusion Poor PS can result in discontinuation of nintedanib after 12 months. Long-term nintedanib treatment may be effective for survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A randomised controlled trial in Japan showed that inhaled N-acetylcysteine monotherapy stabilised serial decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) in some patients with early idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the efficacy and tolerability of combination therapy with an antifibrotic agent and inhaled N-acetylcysteine are unknown. METHODS This 48-week, randomised, open-label, multicentre phase 3 trial compared the efficacy and tolerability of combination therapy with pirfenidone plus inhaled N-acetylcysteine 352.4 mg twice daily with the results for pirfenidone alone in patients with IPF. The primary end-point was annual rate of decline in FVC. Exploratory efficacy measurements included serial change in diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (D LCO) and 6-min walk distance (6MWD), progression-free survival (PFS), incidence of acute exacerbation, and tolerability. RESULTS 81 patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive pirfenidone plus inhaled N-acetylcysteine (n=41) or pirfenidone (n=40). The 48-week rate of change in FVC was -300 mL and -123 mL, respectively (difference -178 mL, 95% CI -324--31 mL; p=0.018). Serial change in D LCO, 6MWD, PFS and incidence of acute exacerbation did not significantly differ between the two groups. The incidence of adverse events (n=19 (55.9%) for pirfenidone plus N-acetylcysteine; n=18 (50%) for pirfenidone alone) was similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS Combination treatment with inhaled N-acetylcysteine and pirfenidone is likely to result in worse outcomes for IPF.

Abstract
Purpose Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by the accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) protein in the lungs. Transforming growth factor (TGF) β-induced ECM protein synthesis contributes to the development of IPF. Tranilast, an anti-allergy drug, suppresses TGFβ expression and inhibits interstitial renal fibrosis in animal models. However, the beneficial effects of tranilast or its mechanism as a therapy for pulmonary fibrosis have not been clarified. Methods We investigated the in vitro effect of tranilast on ECM production and TGFβ/SMAD2 pathway in TGFβ2-stimulated A549 human alveolar epithelial cells, using quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence. In vitro observations were validated in the lungs of a murine pulmonary fibrosis model, which we developed by intravenous injection of bleomycin. Results Treatment with tranilast suppressed the expression of ECM proteins, such as fibronectin and type IV collagen, and attenuated SMAD2 phosphorylation in TGFβ2-stimulated A549 cells. In addition, based on a wound healing assay in these cells, tranilast significantly inhibited cell motility, with foci formation that comprised of ECM proteins. Histological analyses revealed that the administration of tranilast significantly attenuated lung fibrosis in mice. Furthermore, tranilast treatment significantly reduced levels of TGFβ, collagen, fibronectin, and phosphorylated SMAD2 in pulmonary fibrotic tissues in mice. Conclusion These findings suggest that tranilast inhibits pulmonary fibrosis by suppressing TGFβ/SMAD2-mediated ECM protein production, presenting tranilast as a promising and novel anti-fibrotic agent for the treatment of IPF.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of steroid treatment for coronavirus disease (COVID‐19) is unknown. Case presentation A 67‐year‐old man was transported to our hospital due to impaired consciousness and respiratory failure. After admission, tracheal aspirate of the patient was harvested, and it tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 nucleic acid. He required veno‐venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to sustain his oxygenation. However, his respiratory failure did not improve for 20 days. On day 20 of admission, we started to use i.v. steroid therapy. On day 23, lung opacity on the chest X‐ray cleared and the patient’s oxygen saturation improved significantly. We successfully removed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation on day 27. Conclusion Our case report encourages more future trials to evaluate the therapeutic use of i.v. steroid in severe COVID‐19‐induced acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Abstract
Resistance to third-generation cephalosporins and carbapenems in Gram-negative bacteria is chiefly mediated by beta-lactamases including extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC, and carbapenemase enzymes. Routine phenotypic detection methods do not provide timely results, and there is a lack of comprehensive molecular panels covering all important markers. An ESBL/carbapenemase high-resolution melt analysis (HRM) assay (SHV, TEM, CTX-M ESBL families, and NDM, IMP, KPC, VIM and OXA-48-like carbapenemases) and an AmpC HRM assay (16S rDNA control, FOX, MOX, ACC, EBC, CIT, and DHA) were designed and evaluated on 111 Gram-negative isolates with mixed resistance patterns. The sensitivity for carbapenemase, ESBL, and AmpC genes was 96.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 82.8-99.9%), 93.6% (95% CI: 85.7-97.9%), and 93.8% (95% CI: 82.8-98.7%), respectively, with a specificity of 100% (95% CI: 95.6-100%), 93.9% (95% CI: 79.8-99.3%), and 93.7% (95% CI: 84.5-98.2%). The HRM assays enable the simultaneous detection of the 14 most important ESBL, carbapenemase, and AmpC genes and could be used as a molecular surveillance tool or to hasten detection of antimicrobial resistance for treatment management.

Abstract
Experiments using a THz pump and an X-ray probe at an X-ray free-electron laser (XFEL) facility like the Linac Coherent Light Source II (LCLS II) require frequency-tunable (3 to 20 THz), narrow bandwidth (∼10%), carrier-envelope-phase-stable THz pulses that produce high fields (>1 MV cm-1) at the repetition rate of the X-rays and are well synchronized with them. In this paper, a two-bunch scheme to generate THz radiation at LCLS II is studied: the first bunch produces THz radiation in an electromagnet wiggler immediately following the LCLS II undulator that produces X-rays from the second bunch. The initial time delay between the two bunches is optimized to compensate for the path difference in THz transport. The two-bunch beam dynamics, the THz wiggler and radiation are described, as well as the transport system bringing the THz pulses from the wiggler to the experimental hall.

Abstract
Background A guide of patient selection for establishing the diagnosis of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) by transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) has not been established, although the pathological confirmation of LAM by lung biopsy is desirable, particularly when patients have no additional test results except typical findings of computed tomography (CT) of the chest. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of LAM patients who visited at our hospital from January 2010 to September 2018. We found 19 patients who underwent TBLB and collected the following data to investigate which parameters could predict the TBLB diagnostic positivity for LAM: age, degree of exertional dyspnea, pulmonary function test, cystic lung destruction visually assessed by the modified Goddard scoring system (MGS), serum level of vascular endothelial growth factor-D, and TBLB-related data. Results The diagnosis of LAM was established by TBLB in 15 of 19 patients (78.9%) and no serious complications occurred. MGS was significantly higher in the TBLB-positive group than the TBLB-negative group. In LAM patients without pulmonary lymphatic congestion on CT (N = 16), multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that MGS and FEV1/FVC were independent contributing parameters for TBLB diagnostic positivity. However, the analysis of Bayesian inference demonstrated that MGS is a better predictor than FEV1/FVC; the probability of establishing diagnosis exceeds 80% if MGS is > 2 (i.e., area of cystic destruction occupies > 25% of lung parenchyma on CT). Conclusions MGS may be a helpful and convenient tool to select candidates for TBLB to establish the diagnosis of LAM pathologically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic lung disorder. Recent studies have suggested that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of alveolar epithelial cells influences development of pulmonary fibrosis, which is mediated by transforming growth factor β (TGF-β). Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), an important proinflammatory cytokine in IPF, has been shown to enhance TGF-β-induced EMT. Nintedanib, a multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is currently used to treat IPF, has been shown to suppress EMT in various cancer cell lines. However, the mechanism of EMT inhibition by nintedanib and its effect on TGF-β and TNF-α signaling pathways in alveolar epithelial cells have not been fully elucidated. METHODS A549 alveolar epithelial cells were stimulated with TGF-β2 and TNF-α, and the effects of nintedanib on global gene expression were evaluated using microarray analysis. Furthermore, Smad2/3 phosphorylation was assessed using western blotting. RESULTS We found that in A549 cells, TGF-β2 and TNF-α treatment induces EMT, which was inhibited by nintedanib. Gene ontology analysis showed that nintedanib significantly attenuates the gene expression of EMT-related cellular pathways and the TGF-β signaling pathway, but not in the TNF-α-mediated signaling pathway. Furthermore, hierarchical cluster analysis revealed that EMT-related genes were attenuated in nintedanib-treated cells. Additionally, nintedanib was found to markedly suppress phosphorylation of Smad2/3. CONCLUSION Nintedanib inhibits EMT by mediating EMT-related gene expression and the TGF-β/Smad pathway in A549 alveolar epithelial cells.

Abstract
Background Acute exacerbation of chronic fibrosing idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (AE-IIPs) is associated with a high mortality rate. In 2016, an international working group proposed a revised diagnostic criteria for AE-IIPs, suggesting that it be classified as idiopathic or triggered. Many factors are known to trigger AE-IIPs, including surgery, infection, and drugs. However, it is unknown which AE-IIPs triggers have a worse prognosis. We aimed to investigate the prognosis of patients with various clinical types of AE-IIPs, particularly infection-triggered, non-infection triggered, and idiopathic AE-IIPs. Methods We retrospectively collected data from 128 chronic fibrosing IIPs (CF-IIPs) patients who were hospitalized by respiratory failure between April 2009 and March 2019 at Juntendo University Hospital. Among these patients, we evaluated 79 patients who developed AE-IIPs and 21 who developed pneumonia superimposed on CF-IIPs. Patients with AE-IIPs were classified into three types: idiopathic, infection-triggered, and non-infection-triggered AE-IIPs. We analyzed differences in patient characteristics, examination findings; level of serum markers, results of pulmonary function, and radiological findings, prior treatment for baseline CF-IIPs, and prognosis. We then evaluated the risk factor for early death (death within 30 days from the onset of AE-IIPs) associated with AE-IIPs. Results Among the patients who developed AE-IIPs, 34 were characterized as having idiopathic, 25 were characterized as having infection-triggered, and 20 were categorized as having non-infection-triggered AE-IIPs. Survival time for pneumonia superimposed on IIPs was significantly longer than that for any AE-IIPs. Survival time for bacterial pneumonia superimposed on CF-IIPs was significantly longer than that for AE-IIPs (for each idiopathic and all triggered IIPs). Thereafter, survival time for infection-triggered was significantly longer than for idiopathic or non-infection-triggered AE-IIPs. The mortality rate was significantly lower in infection-triggered AE-IIPs than in other types of AE-IIPs. Furthermore, the incidence of infection-triggered AE-IIPs in winter was significantly higher than that in other seasons. Moreover, the clinical AE-IIPs types and radiological findings at AE-IIP onset were significant risk factors for AE-IIPs-induced early death. Conclusions Our findings suggest that patients with infection-triggered AE-IIPs can expect a better prognosis than can patients with other clinical types of AE-IIPs.

Abstract
Several recent studies suggest that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are involved in intrinsic resistance to cancer treatment. Maintenance of quiescence is crucial for establishing resistance of CSCs to cancer therapeutics. F-box/WD repeat-containing protein 7 (FBXW7) is a ubiquitin ligase that regulates quiescence by targeting the c-MYC protein for ubiquitination. We previously reported that gefitinib-resistant persisters (GRPs) in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells highly expressed octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct-4) as well as the lung CSC marker CD133, and they exhibited distinctive features of the CSC phenotype. However, the role of FBXW7 in lung CSCs and their resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitors in NSCLC is not fully understood. In this study, we developed GRPs from the two NSCLC cell lines PC9 and HCC827, which express an EGFR exon 19 deletion mutation, by treatment with a high concentration of gefitinib. The GRPs from both PC9 and HCC827 cells expressed high levels of CD133 and FBXW7, but low levels of c-MYC. Cell cycle analysis demonstrated that the majority of GRPs existed in the G0/G1 phase. Knockdown of the FBXW7 gene significantly reduced the cell number of CD133-positive GRPs and reversed the cell population in the G0/G1-phase. We also found that FBXW7 expression in CD133-positive cells was increased and c-MYC expression was decreased in gefitinib-resistant tumors of PC9 cells in mice and in 9 out of 14 tumor specimens from EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients with acquired resistance to gefitinib. These findings suggest that FBXW7 plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of quiescence in gefitinib-resistant lung CSCs in EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC.

Abstract
RATIONALE The meningovertebral ligaments are a group of tissues that connect the dura and the vertebral bone. Abnormal fibrous ligaments in the canal space, which are essentially different from these ligaments, have been identified and their presence very rarely results in spinal disorder. PATIENT CONCERNS A 20-year-old Mongolian woman had developed persistent headache at 15 years of age. She then became unable to run fast when she was 19 years old and had progressively declining ability to move. She complained of back pain and unstable gait 6 months prior to presentation. Physical examination revealed exaggerated deep tendon reflexes in the lower extremities and decreased proximal leg muscle strength bilaterally. DIAGNOSES Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed abnormal bands compressing the spinal cord at the T10/11 level, with large epidural lipomatosis dorsal to the dural tube. INTERVENTION To decompress the cord, posterior laminectomy for T3-L3 and removal of the heterotopic ligaments were performed with T8-L1 posterior fusion. OUTCOMES Sufficient decompression of the cord was noted on postoperative MRI at the affected segments. The patient could subsequently walk without a cane and headache resolved immediately after the operation. LESSONS The presence of an aberrant epidural band is a rare pathologic state that often coexists with a surrounding lipomatosis and can lead to spinal cord compression. Removal of the band is a promising treatment for myelopathy caused by the compressive lesion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pirfenidone, an antifibrotic agent used for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), functions by inhibiting myofibroblast differentiation, which is involved in transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1-induced IPF pathogenesis. However, unlike normal lung fibroblasts, the relationship between pirfenidone responses of TGF-β1-induced human fibrotic lung fibroblasts and lung fibrosis has not been elucidated. METHODS The effects of pirfenidone were evaluated in lung fibroblasts isolated from fibrotic human lung tissues after TGF-β1 exposure. The ability of two new pharmacological targets of pirfenidone, collagen triple helix repeat containing protein 1(CTHRC1) and four-and-a-half LIM domain protein 2 (FHL2), to mediate contraction of collagen gels and migration toward fibronectin were assessed in vitro. RESULTS Compared to control lung fibroblasts, pirfenidone significantly restored TGF-β1-stimulated fibroblast-mediated collagen gel contraction, migration, and CTHRC1 release in lung fibrotic fibroblasts. Furthermore, pirfenidone attenuated TGF-β1- and CTHRC1-induced fibroblast activity, upregulation of bone morphogenic protein-4(BMP-4)/Gremlin1, and downregulation of α-smooth muscle actin, fibronectin, and FHL2, similar to that observed post-CTHRC1 inhibition. In contrast, FHL2 inhibition suppressed migration and fibronectin expression, but did not downregulate CTHRC1. CONCLUSIONS Overall, pirfenidone suppressed fibrotic fibroblast-mediated fibrotic processes via inverse regulation of CTHRC1-induced lung fibroblast activity. Thus, CTHRC1 can be used for predicting pirfenidone response and developing new therapeutic targets for lung fibrosis.

Abstract
A 46-year-old woman with severe skin sarcoidosis, mainly on the back of the trunk, persisting for >15 years, was followed up without systemic treatment. In 2014, she was started on minocycline monotherapy owing to worsening of the skin sarcoid lesions. Surprisingly, after approximately 1 year of the monotherapy, nearly all skin lesions resolved with only light residual scars, despite the poor efficacy of the monotherapy for pulmonary sarcoidosis. The patient's serum angiotensin-converting enzyme levels also decreased to the normal range. The presence of Propionibacterium acnes was confirmed when a retrospectively immunostained epithelioid granuloma, obtained from skin biopsy, demonstrated staining with monoclonal antibodies specific for P. acnes. Minocycline monotherapy, thus, appears to be a possible treatment modality for skin sarcoidosis.

Abstract
Aim: To assess the clinical features/imaging characteristics of pneumonitis reported during nationwide nivolumab postmarketing surveillance in Japan. Patients & methods: Clinical and radiological data were collected from pneumonitis cases reported during/after nivolumab treatment for melanoma or non-small-cell lung cancer. The expert central review committee evaluated each case. Results: Among 144 cases analyzed, 91 (63.2%) had radiological patterns considered typical for drug-induced pneumonitis and 53 (36.8%) patients had previously unobserved patterns with one or more atypical features, including 23 cases (16.0%) with ground glass opacity confined to the area around the tumor (peritumoral infiltration). A higher proportion of patients with (vs without) peritumoral infiltration had an antitumor response to nivolumab. Conclusion: Images of nivolumab-induced pneumonitis showed previously unobserved radiological patterns.

Abstract
The near-Earth carbonaceous asteroid 162173 Ryugu is thought to have been produced from a parent body that contained water ice and organic molecules. The Hayabusa2 spacecraft has obtained global multicolor images of Ryugu. Geomorphological features present include a circum-equatorial ridge, east-west dichotomy, high boulder abundances across the entire surface, and impact craters. Age estimates from the craters indicate a resurfacing age of [Formula: see text] years for the top 1-meter layer. Ryugu is among the darkest known bodies in the Solar System. The high abundance and spectral properties of boulders are consistent with moderately dehydrated materials, analogous to thermally metamorphosed meteorites found on Earth. The general uniformity in color across Ryugu's surface supports partial dehydration due to internal heating of the asteroid's parent body.

Abstract
The anti-programmed cell death-1 protein monoclonal antibody, pembrolizumab is an immune checkpoint inhibitor. While it improves the prognoses of patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer, it has been reported to induce various kinds of immune-related adverse events, including hepatotoxicity. Despite the frequency of hepatotoxicity, there is only limited information available regarding the pathophysiology and treatment. We herein report a 48-year-old man with lung adenocarcinoma who was treated with pembrolizumab and developed cholestatic liver injury. In this case, the importance of evaluating the histology of hepatotoxicity and the effectiveness of ursodeoxycholic acid for cholestatic liver injury is indicated.

Abstract
A 28-year-old woman who was 34 weeks pregnant was admitted with complaints of cough and blood-stained sputum. After delivery of the baby at 37 weeks gestation, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumor in the right lung and a 15-mm brain metastasis. A diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma was made, cT4N3M1b (stage IV disease) by pleural fluid cytology. Additional testing for anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion protein showed a strongly positive result, which was then confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization. The patient was started on treatment with alectinib, and the tumor and brain metastasis had almost vanished by 2 months after the start of this treatment. In the literature, there are 59 reports of lung cancer diagnosed during pregnancy, including two cases of cancer with expression of ALK fusion protein and five cases showing epidermal growth factor receptor mutation. The type of mutation should be taken into consideration while selecting for the appropriate therapeutic strategy.
