| 抄録 | Small bowel metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is rare, and its clinicopathological characteristics are unclear; thus, we revisited the concept of this tumor and reviewed its diagnostic and treatment modalities. We filtered MEDLINE searches of articles published in English between 1950 and 2019, and identified 100 patients who had undergone treatment, including 1 patient from our clinic. We extracted patient characteristics, treatment, and prognostic data, resulting in clinicopathological data on 100 patients (83 men, 17 women). Mean age was 63 years (range, 16-86 years). Tumor sites were duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and multiple sites in 30, 37, 25, and 7 patients, respectively. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates after diagnosis were 53.0%, 36.0%, and 36.0%. Curative resection patients showed 62.1% 5-year survival after surgery, vs. 27.5% in noncurative surgical management cases. Good prognoses can be expected if these tumors are identified early for complete removal. Surgery is the only curative option. To determine the best management strategy and improve prognostic accuracy, we continue to collect and analyze epidemiological and pathological data. Although this condition is rare, surgery should be considered if curative resection is expected. Prognosis after curative resection is not poor, but recurrence is not unlikely. |

| 抄録 | With rapidly aging populations, family care functions can become weakened, and community health services often lack unified standards. A standardized and professional community home-based long-term care model (CHLCM) for the elderly is urgently needed in many regions of China and in other countries. Here, we explored the indicators of the need for a CHLCM among elderly individuals, and we constructed a CHLCM. We created and distributed a questionnaire regarding the requirement of long-term care services, based on a literature review. The two-rounds Delphi method was used, involving 20 experts who were randomly selected from among the medical universities, community health service centers, and nursing homes in Nanning, Guangxi, China. The experts’ enthusiasm rates in the questionnaire’s two rounds were 95% and 100%, respectively. The authentic coefficient of the experts’ consulting was 0.857, and that of the experts’ academic level was 0.835; the judgement coefficient was 0.880 and the familiar coefficient was 0.855. The CHLCM includes service content and an evaluation. The coordination coefficients for the two primary, eight secondary, and 29 tertiary indicators were 0.200, 0.386, and 0.184, respectively (p<0.05). The experts’ enthusiasm and authority were high. The coordination of the experts’ agreement was sufficient, and the analysis results were reliable. The CHLCM includes 29 items that provide a foundation and references for the formulation of concrete indicators and subsequent research. |

| 抄録 | Although reported for Caucasians, changes in plasma clozapine levels after smoking cessation in East Asians remain unclear. We here investigated plasma clozapine levels before and after smoking cessation in Japanese inpatients with schizophrenia. We conducted a retrospective chart review of 14 inpatients with schizophrenia who were being treated with clozapine between June 1, 2019, and July 31, 2019 and who were smokers as of July 1, 2019, the day on which a smoking ban was instituted in the tertiary public psychiatric hospital. The primary outcome was individual differences in plasma clozapine levels between before and after the smoking ban, which were compared using paired t-tests. The mean plasma clozapine level was significantly increased, by 213.4 ng/mL (95% CI 119.9-306.8; p<0.01) or 53.2%. Four of the 14 inpatients experienced clinically significant side effects, such as myoclonus, drooling, and amnesia, due to the development of high plasma clozapine levels. Our findings indicated that close monitoring of plasma clozapine levels before and after smoking cessation and prior dose adjustment of clozapine may be necessary, to prevent a significant risk of developing high plasma clozapine levels, even in Japanese patients. |

| 抄録 | Cancer patients have increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) that must be assessed before treatment. This study aimed to determine effective VTE biomarkers in gynecologic cancer (GC). We investigated the correlation between D-dimer levels, Khorana risk score (KRS), Glasgow prognostic score (GPS), and VTE in 1499 GC patients (583 cervical cancer (CC), 621 endometrial cancer (EC), and 295 ovarian cancer (OC) patients) treated at our institution between January 2008 and December 2019. χ2 and Mann–Whitney U-tests were used to determine statistical significance. We used receiver operating characteristic-curve analysis to evaluate the discriminatory ability of each parameter. D-dimer levels were significantly correlated with KRS and GPS in patients with GC. VTE was diagnosed in 11 CC (1.9%), 27 EC (4.3%), and 39 OC patients (13.2%). Optimal D-dimer cut-off values for VTE were 3.1, 3.2, and 3.9 μg/ml in CC, EC and OC patients, respectively. D-dimer could significantly predict VTE in all GC patients. Furthermore, D-dimer combined with GPS was more accurate in predicting VTE than other VTE biomarkers in stage IIIC and IVA OC (AUC: 0.846; p<0.001). This study demonstrates that combined D-dimer and GPS are useful in predicting VTE in patients with OC. |

| 抄録 | Bone marrow edema (BME) after meniscus injury and risk factors for subchondral insufficiency fracture of the knee (SIFK) have been reported. However, their association with medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) remains unknown. We investigated the association of BME volume (BME-V), posterior shinycorner lesion (PSCL), and SIFK with MMPRT to examine the correlations between BME-V and medial meniscus extrusion (MME), PSCL and duration from injury to the time of magnetic resonance imaging (duration), and SIFK and duration. Twenty-nine patients who underwent surgery for MMPRT were included (mean age, 59.2; range, 39-84). The presence of PSCL, femoral BME-V (cm3), and SIFK grade (1-4) were evaluated. Preoperative factors, such as MME (mm) and duration (weeks), were investigated using multivariate linear/ logistic regression analyses. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed duration as a significant factor for high-grade SIFK (p<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed duration as a significant factor for the presence of PSCL (odds ratio=0.94, p<0.05). A long duration of MMPRT leads to severe MME and highgrade SIFK (3 and 4), often resulting in knee arthroplasty. Early diagnosis of MMPRT and pullout repair can prevent severe MME and high-grade SIFK. |

| 抄録 | This study aimed to investigate the link between prolonged sedentary bouts and health-related quality of life (QOL) in patients on chronic hemodialysis (CHD). A total of 84 outpatients on CHD, aged 71.6±11.8 years, were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Parameters for prolonged sedentary bouts [i.e., ≧ 30 min (% and bout) and ≧ 60 min (% and bout)] were measured using a triaxial accelerometer. Health-related QOL (HRQOL) was evaluated by the Euro-QOL (EQ-5D). Clinical parameters were obtained from medical records. Relatively prolonged sedentary bouts (%) were 44.0±18.2 (≧ 30 min) and 29.8±16.5 (≧ 60 min) for total days. Prolonged sedentary bouts (bouts) were 6.2±2.7 (≧ 30 min) and 2.7±1.6 (≧ 60 min) for total days. EQ-5D scores were 0.728±0.220. All prolonged sedentary bout parameters were negatively correlated with EQ-5D scores, except for prolonged sedentary bouts (≧ 60 min) (min) and relatively prolonged sedentary bouts (%) on hemodialysis days. Multiple regression analysis showed that prolonged sedentary bout parameters were an important factor in EQ-5D scores even after adjusting for confounding factors for total and non-hemodialysis days. Our results suggested that prolonged sedentary bouts were closely associated with HRQOL in patients on CHD, especially on non-hemodialysis days. |

| 抄録 | Cases of breast cancer metastasis after achieving a pathological complete response (pCR) with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) are sometimes encountered in clinical practice. We investigated the prognostic factors for pCR in patients with breast cancer after NAC. This retrospective cohort study included patients with localized breast cancer who underwent NAC followed by surgery between 2004 and 2020 and achieved a pCR. The associations between clinical factors and distant metastasis-free survival rate were statistically analyzed. We analyzed data for 127 patients. Twelve patients (9.4%) had distant metastases, and seven (5.5%) died. For estrogen receptor (ER)-positive patients, the distant metastasis-free survival rate was 94.6% for both 5 and 8 years. In contrast, ER-negative patients had a distant metastasis-free survival rate of 87.6% and 85.4% for 5 and 8 years (p=0.094), respectively. In cT0-2 patients, the distant metastasis-free survival rate was 92.4% for 5 years and 90.5% for 8 years, whereas in cT3-4 patients, the distant metastasis-free survival rate was 83.5% for 5 years and 83.5% for 8 years (p=0.301). This study suggested that patients with ER-negative, pre-NAC cT3 or T4 breast cancer who had achieved a pCR after NAC tended to have a worse prognosis. |

| 抄録 | Medical students (fourth-year: n = 67; fifth-year: n = 63) estimated inpatients' feelings of anxiety, self-esteem, purpose-in-life, and multidimensional health locus of control. Their ratings were compared both with the ratings given by the 121 inpatients themselves and with those given by nursing practitioners (nurses and nursing students). Findings showed that the medical students overestimated inpatients' anxiety, while they underestimated the inpatients' purpose-in-life and internal health locus of control. Hence they underestimated, as did the nursing practitioners, the inpatients' positive emotional states and their positive attitude toward their own lives. Fifth-year medical students, with clinical experience, rated the inpatients' score of chance health locus of control higher than did the fourth-year medical students, who had no clinical experience. These findings indicate that medical students, like nursing practitioners, are inclined to pay more attention to inpatients' weaknesses than to their strengths. |

| 抄録 | Rapidly progressive in-stent restenosis (ISR) after stent deployment from the left main trunk (LMT) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) without plaque at the LMT ostium has not been reported. A 60-year-old Japanese man with a history of scleroderma, pulmonary fibrosis, and type 2 diabetes developed acute myocardial infarction of the right coronary artery (RCA) and was treated by emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for RCA. Nine days later he underwent PCI from the LMT to the LAD. Follow-up coronary angiography (CAG) at 9 and 21 months post-PCI did not reveal ISR in any lesion, but the patient experienced cardiac arrest at 25 months post-PCI. Emergency CAG after resuscitation revealed ISR of the LMT ostium; emergency PCI was conducted. The development of ISR at the ostium of the LMT although the patient was free of plaque 4 months before is extremely unusual. This rare ISR of the LMT ostium progressed rapidly after follow-up CAG revealed no ISR at 21 months post-stent implantation. |

| 抄録 | A 66-year-old man underwent multimodal treatment for olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB). When he was 72 years old, a cystic intracranial lesion without accumulation on fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography was detected. Surgical resection was performed when the patient was 73 years old. The pathological examination revealed recurrence of ONB, and the patient underwent focal irradiation. At age 81, he presented with a second recurrence in the right occipital lobe with radiological and pathological findings similar to the prior recurrence. This case suggests that pathological confirmation should be considered in cases with atypical radiological findings following the treatment of ONB. |

| 抄録 | Congenital lobar emphysema (CLE) is defined as the hyperinflation of pulmonary lobes due to obstruction of the flow of air via a known or unknown etiology, which causes pressure symptoms in the adjacent organs. CLE is mainly diagnosed in the neonatal period, and very few adult cases have been reported. Here we report a 34-year-old male with muscular dystrophy who was diagnosed with CLE on examination. He underwent a right lower lobectomy via 3-portal completely video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, and his symptoms improved. Thoracoscopic surgery helped preserve the respiratory muscles and led to the improvement of respiratory function in this patient. |

| 抄録 | A 75-year-old woman underwent L4-L5 lateral interbody fusion for L4-5 foraminal stenosis with the use of percutaneous pedicle screws. On the day after the surgery, she was in shock. Emergency contrast-enhanced CT showed active extravasation from the 4th lumbar artery with a transverse process fracture. A radiologist performed a successful transarterial embolization, and the patient then began walking training on the 4th day post-surgery. Close attention should be paid to the insertion of a percutaneous pedicle screw, as it may cause a lumbar artery injury; in such a case, transarterial embolization is the preferred treatment. |

| 抄録 | We introduce a new digital workflow to fabricate a fixed partial denture (FPD) utilizing the three-dimensional surface morphology of provisional restoration (PR) and abutment teeth. Scanned images of the full maxilla with abutment teeth, full maxilla with PR, and PR alone were superimposed. The surfaces of the final FPD were designed based on the entire morphology of the PR and abutment teeth surfaces. The inner and outer surfaces converged at the margin lines of the abutment teeth. Fine modifications to the final FPD design were performed manually, and the final FPD was fabricated and successfully installed in the patient. |

| 抄録 | The surgical treatment of pediatric atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS) in Down syndrome (DS) remains technically challenging due to radiation exposure and complications such as vertebral artery injury and nonunion. The established treatment is fixation with a C1 lateral mass screw and C2 pedicle screw (modified Goel technique). However, this technique requires fluoroscopy for C1 screw insertion. To avoid exposing the operating team to radiation we present here a new C-arm free O-arm navigated surgical procedure for pediatric AAS in DS. A 5-year-old male DS patient had neck pain and unsteady gait. Radiograms showed AAS with an atlantodental interval of 10 mm, and irreducible subluxation on extension. CT scan showed Os odontoideum and AAS. MRI demonstrated spinal cord compression between the C1 posterior arch and odontoid process. We performed a C-arm free O-arm navigated modified Goel procedure with postoperative halo-vest immobilization. At oneyear follow-up, good neurological recovery and solid bone fusion were observed. The patient had no complications such as epidural hematoma, infection, or nerve or vessel injury. This novel procedure is a useful and safe technique that protects surgeons and staff from radiation risk. |

| 抄録 | We analyzed the treatment effects of chidamide and decitabine in combination with a HAG (homoharringtonine, cytarabine, G-CSF) priming regimen (CDHAG) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with TP53 mutation. Seven TP53 mutated AML patients were treated with CDHAG. The treatment effects were assessed using hemogram detection and bone marrow aspirate. The possible side effects were evaluated based on both hematological and non-hematological toxicity. Four of the seven patients were classified as having achieved complete remission after CDHAG treatment; one patient was considered to have achieved partial remission, and the remaining two patients were considered in non-remission. The overall response rate (ORR) to CDHAG was 71.4%. Regarding the side effects, the hematological toxicity level of the seven patients ranged from level III to level IV, and infections that occurred at lung, blood, and skin were recorded. Nausea, vomiting, liver injury, and kidney injury were also detected. However, all side effects were attenuated by proper management. The CDHAG regimen clearly improved the ORR (71.4%) of TP53-mutated AML patients, with no severe side effects. |

| 抄録 | To evaluate the volume and heat-sink effects of microwave ablation (MWA) in the ablation zone of the normal swine lung. MWA at 100 W was performed for 1, 2, and 3 min in 7, 5, and 5 lung zones, respectively. We assessed the histopathology in the ablation zones and other outcome measures: namely, length of the longest long and short axes, sphericity, ellipsoid area, and ellipsoid volume. The mean long- and short-axis diameters were 22.0 and 14.1 mm in the 1-min ablation zone, 27.6 and 20.2 mm in the 2-min ablation zone; and 29.2 and 21.2 mm in the 3-min ablation zone, respectively. All measures, except sphericity, were significantly less with 1-min ablation than with either 2- or 3-min ablation. There were no significant differences between the 2- and 3-min ablation zones, but all measures except sphericity were larger with 3-min ablation. Although there were no blood vessels that resulted in a heat-sink effect within the ablation zones, the presence of bronchi nearby in 5 lung ablation zones resulted in reduced ablation size. In high-power, short-duration MWA, the lung ablation volume was affected by ablation time. Some ablations showed that a heat-sink effect by a neighboring bronchus might occur. |

| 抄録 | Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine metabolic disorder that is associated with high insulin resistance and obesity. However, ~70% of women with PCOS in Japan are non-obese. We retrospectively analyzed the cases of 163 Japanese women with PCOS who visited our Ob/Gyn department in 2006-2018 to determine which has a greater effect on insulin resistance: PCOS or obesity. We reviewed the women’s medical records and calculated their insulin resistance and insulin secretion. The women’s mean age and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) were 30±5.8 years and 24.8±5.6 kg/m2, respectively; their mean ± SD fasting plasma glucose, 94.1±13.7 mg/dL; HOMA-IR, 2.1±2.0; QUICKI, 0.4±0.0; and HOMA-β, 108.9±88.0%. Sixtyeight women were pregnant, and 37% (n=25) were obese (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). Obesity had a greater effect on insulin resistance: fasting plasma glucose F(1, 53)=6.134, p<0.05; fasting insulin F(1, 53)=31.606, p<0.01; HOMA-IR F(1, 53)=31.670, p<0.01; QUICKI F(1, 53)=16.156, p<0.01. There was no significant difference in values other than QUICKI and testosterone between the women with and without PCOS. Obesity thus had a greater effect on increased insulin resistance in pregnant women with PCOS. Further studies of the insulin resistance of non-obese women with PCOS is needed, as non-obese women with PCOS are common in Asia. |

| 抄録 | High-dose steroids are required for the treatment of minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS), especially for episodes of recurrence. Predicting and avoiding recurrence can help reduce the steroid dose, but prediction is currently difficult. We herein examined whether changes in laboratory data, especially the urinary protein- to-creatinine ratio (UTP/UCr), can predict clinical recurrence. We also assessed differences in clinical features between children and young adults. We included 36 patients with MCNS; for each case, we retrospectively studied laboratory data during stable remission and pre-recurrence, with the “stable” period defined as all but the 6 weeks before recurrence, and pre-recurrence defined as the 4±2 weeks before recurrence. UTP/UCr, serum albumin, etc. were measured every 5 years during stable periods. We divided patients into cohorts by age at recurrence, < 15 years and ≥ 15 years, and compared stable and pre-recurrence values for the two groups. UTP/UCr values during stable periods tended to be higher in younger patients. UTP/UCr and serum albumin showed statistically significant changes during pre-recurrence periods, but only in those aged ≥ 15 years. Thus, clinical features of recurrence differed depending on age. Signs of recurrence can be confirmed via UTP/UCr or serum albumin several weeks before recurrence in patients ≥ 15 years. |

| 抄録 | Trace elements selenium (Se) and cobalt (Co) are essential in the human body, and a correlation between Se and cardiac surgery has been suggested. We investigated the plasma concentrations of Se and Co during and after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). From December 2019 to January 2020, preoperative plasma samples from isolated first-time CABG patients (n=20; 10 males, 10 females) were prospectively collected post-anesthesia and before CPB (T1), 45 min after CPB started (T2), 90 min after CPB started (T3), and postoperative days 1 (T4), and day 4 (T5). The plasma concentrations of Se and Co were measured. The Se concentration was significantly decreased at T2 (105.24±4.08 vs. 68.56±2.42 μg/L, p<0.001) and T3 (105.24±4.08 vs. 80.41±3.40 μg/L, p<0.001). The Co concentration was significantly decreased at T4 (0.35±0.19 vs. 0.26±0.13 μg/L, p<0.01) and T5 (0.35±0.19 vs. 0.23±0.11 μg/L, p<0.001). Five patients developed atrial fibrillation (AF); there was no other operative mortality or major morbidity. This is the first report of alterations of plasma Se and Co concentrations during and after CABG surgery. Our results may indicate that Se supplementation before or during CABG and Co supplementation after CABG may become necessary for patients undergoing CABG. |

| 抄録 | The apparent diffusion coefficient subtraction method (ASM) was developed as a new restricted diffusionweighted imaging technique for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The usefulness of the ASM has been established by in vitro basic research using a bio-phantom, and clinical research on the application of the ASM for the human body is needed. Herein, we developed a short-time sequence for ASM imaging of the heads of healthy volunteers (n=2), and we investigated the similarity between the obtained ASM images and diffusion kurtosis (DK) images to determine the utility of the ASM for clinical uses. This study appears to be the first to report ASM images of the human head. We observed that the short-time sequence for the ASM imaging of the head can be scanned in approx. 3 min at 1.5T MRI. The noise reduction effect of median filter processing was confirmed on the ASM images scanned by this sequence. The obtained ASM images showed a weak correlation with the DK images, indicating that the ASM images are restricted diffusion-weighted images. The new shorttime imaging sequence could thus be used in clinical studies applying the ASM. |
