| 抄録 | Maintaining perioperative normothermia decreases the post-surgery surgical site infection (SSI) rate. We investigated whether SSI is associated with intraoperative hypothermia in total hip (THA) and total knee (TKA) arthroplasties by retrospectively analyzing 297 THA and TKA cases. The patients’ intraoperative core body temperature (BT) was measured by bladder catheter or forehead sensor. We evaluated the associations between SSI and intraoperative BT and other variables and patient characteristics. Fifty-six patients (18.8%) had hypothermia (BT <36°C); 43 developed SSI (14.5%); only five had hypothermia (11.6%). Intraoperative hypothermia and SSI were not significantly associated. The SSI group had more men (34.9% vs. 18.1%) and THA patients (77.4%), a longer mean surgical duration (174.3 vs. 143.5 mins), and a higher average BT (36.4°C vs. 36.2°C) than the no-SSI group. The SSI patients had a higher intraoperative BT. A multivariable analysis revealed that SSI was associated with male sex (OR 2.3, 95%CI: 1.031-4.921, p=0.042), longer surgery (OR, 1.01, 95%CI: 1.003-1.017, p=0.004), THA (OR 3.6, 95%CI: 1.258-10.085, p=0.017), and intraoperative BT >36.0°C (OR 3.6, 95%CI: 1.367-9.475, p=0.009). Intraoperative hypothermia was not associated with SSI in adults who underwent THA or TKA. These results suggest that hypothermia might not be the problem for SSI. |

| 抄録 | We used biomathematics to describe and compare cerebellar growth in normally developing and trisomy 18 Japanese fetuses. This retrospective study included 407 singleton pregnancies with fetuses at 14-39 weeks of gestation and 33 fetuses with trisomy 18 at 17-35 weeks. We used ultrasonography to measure fetal transverse cerebellar diameter (TCD) and anteroposterior cerebellar diameter (APCD). We hypothesized that cerebellar growth is proportional to cerebellar length at any given time point. We determined the formula L(t) ≒Keat+r, where e is Napier’s number, t is time, L is cerebellar length, and a, K, and r are constants. We then obtained regression functions for each TCD and APCD in all fetuses. The regression equations for TCD and APCD values in normal fetuses, expressed as exponential functions, were TCD(t)=27.85e0.02788t−28.62 (mm) (adjusted R2=0.997), and APCD(t)=324.29e0.00286t−322.62 (mm) (adjusted R2=0.995). These functions indicated that TCD and APCD grew at constant rates of 2.788%/week and 0.286%/week, respectively, throughout gestation. TCD (0.0153%/week) and APCD (0.000430%/week) grew more slowly in trisomy 18 fetuses. This study demonstrates the potential of biomathematics in clinical research and may aid in biological understanding of fetal cerebellar growth. |

| 抄録 | To investigate the association between serum miR-338-3p levels and neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and its mechanism. The relative miR-338-3p expression in serum was detected by quantitative real-time RT-PCR. Interleukin-1beta (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels were detected by ELISAs. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of serum miR-338-3p evaluated the diagnosis of miR-338-3p in neonatal ARDS. Pearson’s correlation analysis evaluated the correlation between serum miR-338-3p and neonatal ARDS clinical factors. Flow cytometry evaluated apoptosis, and a CCK-8 assay assessed cell viability. A luciferase assay evaluated the miR-338-3p/AKT3 relationship. The miR- 338-3p expression was decreased in neonatal ARDS patients and in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated cells. The ROC curve showed the accuracy of miR-338-3p for evaluating neonatal ARDS patients. The correlation analysis demonstrated that miR-338-3p was related to PRISM-III, PaO2/FiO2, oxygenation index, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in neonatal ARDS patients. MiR-338-3p overexpression inhibited the secretion of inflammatory components, stifled cell apoptosis, and LPS-induced advanced cell viability. The double-luciferase reporter gene experiment confirmed that miR-338-3p negatively regulates AKT3 mRNA expression. Serum miR-338-3p levels were related to the diagnosis and severity of neonatal ARDS, which may be attributed to its regulatory effect on inflammatory response in ARDS. |

| 抄録 | This investigation aimed to uncover the impact of a long noncoding RNA, SET-binding factor 2 antisense RNA1 (SBF2-AS1) on the malignant progression of gastric cancer (GC) and to further explore its underlying mechanism. SBF2-AS1 expression was quantified by qRT-PCR in GC cell lines and GC tissues. In vitro loss-of-function studies of SBF2-AS1, accompanied by flow cytometry, CCK-8, and cell invasion tests, were applied to elucidate the impact of SBF2-AS1 on the tumor progression of GC cells. Finally, Western blotting and a luciferase assay were used to detect WNT/LRP5 signaling pathway activation. SBF2-AS1 was aberrantly expressed in GC cell lines (p<0.05) and GC tissues (p<0.05). Cell invasive and proliferative capabilities were inhibited via SBF2-AS1 knockdown, resulting in apoptosis of NCI-N87 and MKN74 cells. Additionally, online database analysis uncovered a positive correlation between SBF2-AS1 and the Wnt/LRP5 signaling pathway (p<0.05). SBF2-AS1 knockdown blocked the Wnt/LRP5 signaling pathway, whereas the effects of SBF2-AS1 knockdown on the malignant genotype of MKN74 as well as NCI-N87 cells were partially restored by triggering the Wnt/ LRP5 signaling pathway. High expression of SBF2-AS1 was found in GC, the malignant progression of which was repressed via SBF2-AS1 knockdown by inhibiting the Wnt/LRP5 signaling pathway. |

| 抄録 | We developed an artificial intelligence (AI) technique to identify epileptic discharges (spikes) in pediatric scalp electroencephalograms (EEGs). We built a convolutional neural network (CNN) model to automatically classify steep potential images into spikes and background activity. For the CNN model’ training and validation, we examined 100 children with spikes in EEGs and another 100 without spikes. A different group of 20 children with spikes and 20 without spikes were the actual test subjects. All subjects were ≥ 3 to < 18 years old. The accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the analysis were >0.97 when referential and combination EEG montages were used, and < 0.97 with a bipolar montage. The correct classification of background activity in individual patients was significantly better with a referential montage than with a bipolar montage (p=0.0107). Receiver operating characteristic curves yielded an area under the curve > 0.99, indicating high performance of the classification method. EEG patterns that interfered with correct classification included vertex sharp transients, sleep spindles, alpha rhythm, and low-amplitude ill-formed spikes in a run. Our results demonstrate that AI is a promising tool for automatically interpreting pediatric EEGs. Some avenues for improving the technique were also indicated by our findings. |

| 抄録 | A 69-year-old Japanese man with acute leukemia received post-transplant cyclophosphamide-based haploidentical stem cell transplantation (PTCY-haplo-SCT) but was readmitted with dyspnea and ground-glass-opacities of the lungs. Bronchoscopy showed inflammatory changes with no signs of infection. He received steroids but required intubation as his condition deteriorated. In addition to antithymocyte globulin and cyclophosphamide, we administered ruxolitinib but failed to save him. Autopsy findings revealed fibrotic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) without evidence of organizing pneumonia or infection. Thus, we diagnosed idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS). As far as our knowledge, this is the first case of IPS with NSIP histology after PTCY-haplo-SCT. |

| 抄録 | An 84-year-old female underwent open right hemicolectomy with D3 lymph node dissection for cecal cancer, pathologically identified as pT4aN2M0 Stage IIIc and BRAF mutation-positive. Due to early recurrence of abdominal wall and right lateral lymph nodes, the patient was treated with FOLFOXIRI+Bevacizumab. Imaging after 5 courses of chemotherapy found tumor shrinkage and no new metastases. The patient did not tolerate chemotherapy well, and tumor resection was performed. Microsatellite instability (MSI) testing using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragment analysis revealed MSI-high status. The patient is currently recurrence-free without chemotherapy at 1 year postoperatively. BRAF-mutated colorectal cancer has a poor prognosis, and may require resection of the metastatic or recurrent tumor after comprehensive evaluation. |

| 抄録 | Gender affirming surgery (GAS) has important impacts for people with gender incongruence (GI), both physically and socially. As the societal acceptance of gender diversity spreads, the number of individuals with GI who wish to be identified as the gender of their choice is increasing. Indeed, many elderly people who have lived a long time with GI now wish to undergo GAS, but face greater surgical risks due to greater burdens of underlying medical conditions. Generally, vaginoplasty is performed for transwomen; however, this surgery is time-consuming and involves heavy bleeding, and thus, should be avoided in elderly people. A less invasive technique is needed. In this article, we describe a new, less invasive genital feminizing surgical technique for transwomen with reports from two clinical cases. We present this novel technique as a safe, aesthetic, and cost-effective option for gender-affirming surgery for transwomen. |

| 抄録 | We encountered a woman with re-enlarged axillary lymph nodes during a computed tomography (CT) scan for surveillance of lung adenocarcinoma with axillary lymph node metastasis at the initial diagnosis that had shrunk with standard chemotherapy. We first suspected cancer recurrence and considered a change in the chemotherapeutic regimen. However, after careful history taking regarding the timing of her Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination, and subsequent careful, close follow-up, radiological shrinkage suggested a strictly benign cause. Especially in lung cancer with a medical history of axillary lymph node involvement, cliniciansshould be aware that vaccine-associated lymphadenopathy can mimic cancer recurrence and sometimesprompt serious misjudgment regarding a current treatment course and strategy. |

| 抄録 | Pulmonary metastatic resection is a standard therapy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Although patients with pulmonary metastases who do not undergo any treatment have poor prognoses, it has been reported that resection for pulmonary metastases yields good clinical outcomes. We investigated the prognoses of the 10 Japanese patients (eight males, two females) who underwent a surgical resection of pulmonary metastasectomy from RCC at our institution between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2020 and analyzed the prognostic factors. We determined the prognoses and calculated the 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) rates. To identify prognostic factors, we compared the median DFS duration for each factor. Elderly patients (median age, 75.5 years) were more predominant compared to previous studies, and all 10 patients underwent a complete resection. The 5-year DFS rate was 30.5% (95%CI: 0.045-0.63) and the 5-year OS rate was 80% (95%CI: 0.20-0.97). The following factors were associated with better prognosis: female, disease-free interval≥36 months, and metastases size<12 mm. These results indicate that complete resection for pulmonary metastases from RCC resulted in good clinical outcomes, particularly for patients with better prognostic factors. |

| 抄録 | The prevalence of preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) has been reported to be relatively high in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. We investigated the prevalence of DVT, the association between hip function and preoperative DVT, and the effect of a history of surgery in patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty. We retrospectively analyzed the cases of the patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty between April 2013 and February 2020 at our institution. We evaluated the prevalence of preoperative DVT based on the results of the patients’ ultrasound screening. We performed univariate and multivariate analyses to investigate the association between the incidence of DVT and patient factors including age, sex, hip function, medical histories, and American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification. We analyzed 451 patients (494 hips). The prevalence of DVT was 14.2% (64 patients). The multivariate analysis demonstrated that increased age was an independent significant risk factor for DVT. The prevalence of preoperative DVT was relatively high among patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty. Preoperative DVT tended to be more prevalent in older patients. Hip function was not associated with the incidence of DVT. |

| 抄録 | We herein introduce horizontal vector analysis, a simple method for assessing cranial morphology based on measurement of the head’s horizontal plane, and use this method to establish normal cranial morphology in Japanese children Computed tomography scans taken in 2010-2019 in healthy Japanese children aged ≤ 6 years. The two measurement planes were parallel to the orbitomeatal plane: namely, a plane passing through the dorsum sellae (DS) and the plane superior to that with the maximal area (Max plane). A protractor was used to circumferentially measure the lengths from the central point to the outer surface of the skull. A total of 487 images were extracted. The distances between the DS and Max planes were consistently almost 30 mm for each age group, so we fixed the Max plane as the plane 30 mm superior to the DS plane. Finally, we established datasets of normal values for each age group and sex. Using these norms, perioperative evaluation of various cranial deformities could be performed more easily and circumstantially. |

| 抄録 | Some pediatric cardiac patients might experience low regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) during surgery. We investigated whether a pediatric patient’s mean arterial pressure (MAP) can affect the rSO2 value during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We retrospectively analyzed the cases of the pediatric patients who underwentcardiac surgery at our hospital (Jan. –Dec. 2019; n=141). At each MAP stage, we constructed line charts through the mean of the rSO2 values corresponding to each MAP and then calculated the correlation coefficients. We next divided the patients into age subgroups (neonates, infants, children) and into cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) and acyanotic CHD groups and analyzed these groups in the same way. The analyses of all 141 patients revealed that during CPB the rSO2 value increased with an increase in MAP (r=0.1626). There was a correlation between rSO2 and MAP in the children (r=0.2720) but not in the neonates (r=0.06626) or infants (r=0.05260). Cyanotic CHD or acyanotic CHD did not have a significant effect on the rSO2/MAP correlation. Our analysis demonstrated different patterns of a correlation between MAP and rSO2 in pediatric cardiac surgery patients, depending on age. MAP was positively correlated with rSO2 typically in children but not in neonate or infant patients. |

| 抄録 | This observational study aimed to clarify the long-term results of the combination of mizoribine (MZB), tacrolimus (TAC) and prednisolone as first-line therapy for lupus nephritis (LN). This was our institution’s standard therapy between 2009 and 2015, when we saw 36 patients with LN. When a patient thus treated achieved SLEDAI remission (= 0) and/or the prednisolone dose could be tapered to 5 mg/day, either MZB or TAC was stopped, and the other was continued for maintenance therapy. If treatment failure or relapse occurred, second-line therapy was introduced. At years 1 and 5, overall complete renal response and SLEDAI remission were 94% and 88%, and 50% and 62%, respectively. Excluding 2 cases lost to follow-up, medications after 5 years were as follows: 20 (59%) were stable on 1 drug (MZB or TAC), 11 (32%) required continuation of both drugs (MZB + TAC), and 3 (9%) required second-line therapy. The 5-year retention rate was 91% (non-secondline), with 0% of relapse in this group. Our first-line combination strategy showed high remission rates in the induction phase, and subsequent maintenance therapy demonstrated good outcomes for up to 5 years. Research that fine-tunes the order of therapeutic agents and institutes appropriate treatment goals may further improve long-term outcomes for patients with LN. |

| 抄録 | The purpose of this study was to conduct a self-reported questionnaire survey of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among Japanese radiological technologists (RTs) and to report on the relationship between wearing a lead apron and WMSDs. Between February and April of 2021, RTs in Okayama Prefecture, Japan, were surveyed by mail and through a website. Information on individual characteristics, physical factors at work, and the presence of WMSDs were collected. All participants were also asked whether they frequently wore lead aprons. A multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between wearing a lead apron and WMSDs. The model was adjusted for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and working hours. Of the 123 participants, 67 (54.5%) had WMSDs. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that WMSDs were significantly associated with wearing a lead apron. Compared to the “Never wear” group, the odds ratios for the “Always/Frequently wear” and “Sometimes/Rarely wear” groups were 7.87 (95% confidence interval [CI]=1.28-48.46; p=0.026) and 7.80 (95% CI=1.43-42.44; p=0.017), respectively. Our analysis suggests that wearing a lead apron is associated with WMSDs, and thus design modifications in lead aprons may improve the occupational health management of RTs. |

| 抄録 | The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychological impact of various positionings in subjects with cerebral palsy (CP). The participants were 17 individuals with severe motor and intellectual disability due to CP. They began in a sitting position in their wheelchair, and were placed consecutively in prone or supine positions, with no intervals between placements. Physiological observations were made in each position, and included salivary α-amylase activity, pulse, percutaneous oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, learance or not of airway secretions, and occurrence or not of adverse events. Salivary α-amylase activity values were higher in the prone position than in the baseline and supine positions (p<0.05). Clearance of airway secretions was significantly more prevalent in the prone position than in the baseline and supine positions (p <0.05). The participants’ pulse was significantly lower in the supine and prone positions than in the baseline position (p<0.05). Greater prevalence of airway secretion clearance and significantly higher stress levels as indicated by saliva amylase were observed in the prone position than in the other two positions. Therefore, when such patients are placed in a prone position, close attention to airway management and the potential for psychological stress may be necessary. |
