| 抄録 | We investigated the effects of celecoxib combined with (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) or polyphenon E in a cisplatin-induced lung tumorigenesis model. Four-week-old female A/J mice were divided into seven groups: (i) Control, (ii) 150 mg/kg celecoxib (150Cel), (iii) 1,500 mg/kg celecoxib (1500Cel), (iv) EGCG+150 mg/kg celecoxib (EGCG+150Cel), (v) EGCG+1,500 mg/kg celecoxib (EGCG+1500Cel), (vi) polyphenon E+150 mg/kg celecoxib (PolyE+150Cel), and (vii) polyphenon E+1,500 mg/kg celecoxib (PolyE+1500Cel). All mice were administered cisplatin (1.62 mg/kg of body weight, i.p.) 1×/week for 10 weeks and sacrificed at week 30; the numbers of tumors on the lung surface were then determined. The tumor incidence and multiplicity (no. of tumors/mouse, mean±SD) were respectively 95% and 2.15±1.50 in Control, 95% and 2.10±1.29 in 150Cel, 86% and 1.67±1.20 in 1500Cel, 71% and 1.38±1.24 in EGCG+150Cel, 67% and 1.29±1.38 in EGCG+1500Cel, 80% and 1.95±1.36 in PolyE+150Cel, and 65% and 1.05±0.10 in PolyE+1500Cel. The combination of high-dose celecoxib with EGCG or polyphenon E significantly reduced multiplicity in cisplatin-induced lung tumors. |

| 抄録 | We measured the muscle mass and phase angle of each body part to evaluate the relationship between balance and gait functions in individuals with a pre-frailty status. This cross-sectional observational study determined the skeletal muscle mass-to-body weight ratio and phase angles of 21 control (robust) and 29 pre-frail subjects. Their Brief-Balance Evaluation Systems Test, Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) test, Life-Space Assessment, and Modified Fall Efficacy Scale scores plus the relationship between muscle mass, phase angle, and motor function were evaluated. In the pre-frailty group (three males, 26 females, aged 75.58±7.60 years), significant correlations were noted between the Brief-Balance Evaluation Systems Test score and lower-limb (r=0.614) and wholebody (r=0.557) phase angles, and between the TUG test score and lower-limb muscle mass-to-body weight ratio (r=−0.616), lower-limb phase angle (r=−0.616), and whole-body phase angle (r=−0.527). Evaluating the phase angle of the lower extremities of pre-frail patients and intervening accordingly may help clinicians maintain and improve these patients’ balance and gait functions. |

| 抄録 | We provide the first report of successful salvage surgery for a post-C1 laminectomy symptomatic recurrence of a retro-odontoid pseudotumor (ROP) that caused myelopathy. The 72-year-old Japanese woman presented with an ROP causing symptomatic cervical myelopathy. With ultrasonography support, we performed the enucleation of the ROP via a transdural approach and fusion surgery for the recurrence of the mass. At the final observation 2-year post-surgery, MRI demonstrated the mass’s regression and spinal cord decompression, and the patient’s symptoms had improved. Our strategy is an effective option for a symptomatic recurrence of ROP. |

| 抄録 | We describe a floating technique via a posterolateral approach with intraoperative O-arm navigation to facilitate decompression of the spinal cord in thoracic myelopathy due to severe ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). A 62-year-old man with myelopathy due to thoracic OPLL had left-leg muscle weakness, urinary disturbance, and spastic gait. Bilateral leg pain and gait disturbance had persisted for 2 years. He was successfully treated by the posterolateral OPLL floating procedure and posterior pedicle fixation under O-arm navigation. At a 2-year follow-up, manual muscle testing results and sensory function of the left leg had recovered fully. His cervical Japanese Orthopedic Association score had improved from 5/12 to 11/12. The novel intraoperative O-arm navigation-guided posterolateral floating procedure for thoracic OPLL is effective for achieving precise decompression and strong fixation with a posterior approach only and can provide an excellent result for severe thoracic OPLL without the risk of adverse events from intraoperative radiation. |

| 抄録 | The failure of endodontic treatment is directly associated with microbial infection in the root canal or periapical areas. An endodontic sealer that is both bactericidal and biocompatible is essential for the success of root canal treatments. This is one of the vital issues yet to be solved in clinical dental practice. This in vitro study assessed the effectiveness of graphene oxide (GO) composites GO-CaF2 and GO-Ag-CaF2 as endodontic sealer materials. Dentin slices were coated with either the GO-based composites or commonly used root canal sealers (non-eugenol zinc oxide sealer). The coated slices were treated in 0.9% NaCl, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and simulated body fluid (SBF) at 37˚C for 24 hours to compare their sealing effect on the dentin surface. In addition, the radiopacity of these composites was examined to assess whether they complied with the requirements of a sealer for good radiographic visualization. Scanning electron microscopy showed the significant sealing capability of the composites as coating materials. Radiographic images confirmed their radiopacity. Mineral deposition indicated their bioactivity, especially of GO-Ag-CaF2, and thus it is potential for regenerative application. They were both previously shown to be bactericidal to oral microbes and cytocompatible with host cells. With such a unique assemblage of critical properties, these GO-based composites show promise as endodontic sealers for protection against reinfection in root canal treatment and enhanced success in endodontic treatment overall. |

| 抄録 | Chemotherapy is insufficient to treat macroscopic vascular invasion (MVI) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We retrospectively investigated the treatment outcomes of patients who underwent three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for HCC MVI and analyzed prognostic factors by multivariate analysis using a Cox proportional hazard model. Sixty-five patients were studied. MVI sites were the portal vein (n=48 patients), portal and hepatic veins (n=8), and hepatic vein (n=9). The median irradiation dose was 50 Gy. The median survival time (MST) was 7.5 months. Performance status 2 or 3, modified albumin-bilirubin grade 2b or 3, and massive/diffuse type were poor prognostic factors. Nineteen patients (29%) with a treatment effect of 3 or 4 (≥ 50% of tumor necrosis or regression) at the irradiation sites according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Cancer of the Liver showed longer survival than those with an effect of 1 or 2 (MST 18.7 vs. 5.9 months, p<0.001). No treatment-related death occurred. The hepatic function reserve was preserved in more than 70% of patients. 3D-CRT controlled HCC MVI safely and was suggested to be a good treatment option. |

| 抄録 | Patients found to have presumed germline pathogenic variants (PGPVs) during comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) require genetic counseling (GC) referrals. We retrospectively investigated the outcomes of patients with PGPVs. Among 159 patients who underwent CGP, we recommended GC for the 16 patients with PGPVs (3 with [FG group] and 13 without [G Group] a family/personal history of hereditary cancer) as well as for the 8 patients with no PGPVs, but a history (F group); 2 (67%), 5 (38%), and 3 (38%) patients received GC in the FG, G, and F groups, respectively. Germline testing results were positive in 1 and 2 patients of the FG and G groups, respectively. Among the patients recommended for GC, 58% did not receive GC due to lack of interest, poor performance status, or death. CGP contributes to the identification of germline variants in patients without a history of hereditary cancer. However, the proportion of patients who undergo GC should be improved. |

| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | To examine the outcome of gestational blood pressure and birth weight in women with normal pre-pregnancy BMI (18.5-25 kg/m2) who are at the lower and upper limits of this range, i.e., slightly underweight or slightly overweight. Overall, 2,038 Japanese women with low -risk who had delivered during January 2014–December 2016 were classified according to their pre-pregnancy BMI: underweight (< 18.5 kg/m2), slightly underweight (18.5≤BMI<21 kg/m2), normal (21≤BMI<23 kg/m2), slightly overweight (23≤BMI<25 kg/m2) and overweight (≤ 25 kg/m2). Their blood pressure during each trimester and birth weight was evaluated. The slightly overweight group showed a significantly higher blood pressure than the underweight and slightly underweight groups. Birth weight was lower in the slightly underweight than in the slightly overweight group (p<0.01). The incidence rate of “heavy for dates” (HFD) infants was significantly higher in the slightly overweight and overweight groups than in the other groups (p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively). Weight gain of < 7 kg significantly increased the rate of “light for dates” (LFD) infants, while a weight gain of ≥13 kg significantly increased the rate of HFD infants (p<0.05 and p<0.01, respectively). Blood pressure during pregnancy was ssociated with pre-pregnancy BMI. The birth weight of infants of low-risk pregnant women is affected by both pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain. |

| 抄録 | Iterative reconstruction (IR) improves image quality compared with filtered back projection (FBP). This study investigated the usefulness of model-based IR (forward-projected model-based iterative reconstruction solution [FIRST]) in comparison with FBP and hybrid IR (adaptive iterative dose reduction three-dimensional processing [AIDR 3D]) in low-dose paranasal CT. Twenty-four patients with paranasal sinusitis who underwent standard-dose CT (120 kV) and low-dose CT (100 kV) scanning before and after medical treatment were enrolled. Standard-dose CT scans were reconstructed with FBP (FBP120), and low-dose CT scans with FBP (FBP100), AIDR 3D, and FIRST. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) in three anatomical structures and effective doses were compared using Mann–Whitney U test. Two radiologists independently evaluated the visibility of 16 anatomical structures, overall image quality, and artifacts. Effective doses in lowdose CT were significantly reduced compared with those in standard-dose CT (0.24 vs 0.43 mSv, p<0.001). FIRST achieved significantly higher SNR (p<0.01, respectively) and CNR (p<0.001, respectively) of evaluated structures and significant improvement in overall image quality (p<0.001), artifacts (p<0.001), and visibility related to muscles (p<0.05) compared to FBP120, FBP100, and AIDR 3D. FIRST allowed radiation-dose reduction, while maintaining objective and subjective image quality in low-dose paranasal CT. |

| 抄録 | Eukaryotic genomes contain numerous copies of endogenous viral elements (EVEs), most of which are considered endogenous retrovirus (ERV) sequences. Over the past decade, non-retroviral endogenous viral elements (nrEVEs) derived from ancient RNA viruses have been discovered. Several functions have been proposed for these elements, including antiviral defense. This review summarizes the current understanding of nrEVEs derived from RNA viruses, particularly endogenous bornavirus-like elements (EBLs) and endogenous filovirus-like elements (EFLs). EBLs are one of the most extensively studied nrEVEs. The EBL derived from bornavirus nucleoprotein (EBLN) is thought to function as a non-coding RNA or protein that regulates host gene expression or inhibits virus propagation. Ebolavirus and marburgvirus, which are filoviruses, induce severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and nonhuman primates. Although the ecology of filoviruses remains unclear, bats are believed to be potential reservoirs. Based on the knowledge from EBLs, it is postulated that EFLs in the bat genome help to maintain the balance between filovirus infection and the bat’s defense system, which may partially explain why bats act as potential reservoirs. Further research into the functions of nrEVEs could reveal novel antiviral systems and inspire novel antiviral approaches. |

| 抄録 | Glioblastoma (GBM) is a fatal primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Despite decades of research, the prognosis for GBM patients is still disappointing. One major reason for the intense therapeutic resistance of GBM is inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity. GBM-intrinsic transcriptional profiling has suggested the presence of at least three subtypes of GBM: the proneural, classic, and mesenchymal subtypes. The mesenchymal subtype is the most aggressive, and patients with the mesenchymal subtype of primary and recurrent tumors tend to have a worse prognosis compared with patients with the other subtypes. Furthermore, GBM can shift from other subtypes to the mesenchymal subtype over the course of disease progression or recurrence. This phenotypic transition is driven by diverse tumor-intrinsic molecular mechanisms or microenvironmental factors. Thus, better understanding of the plastic nature of mesenchymal transition in GBM is pivotal to developing new therapeutic strategies. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the elements involved in the mesenchymal transition of GBM and discuss future perspectives. |
