抄録 We previously found that “albumin grade”, formerly called the “ALBS grade,” demonstrated significant capability for prognostic stratification in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with lenvatinib. The purpose of the present study was to compare the performance of the albumin grade with that of the modified albumin-bilirubin (mALBI) grade in predicting overall survival of HCC patients with different BCLC stages and treatment types. We enrolled 7,645 Japanese patients newly diagnosed with HCC using the Akaike information criteria (AIC), likelihood ratio, and C-index in different Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stages and treatments. The albumin grade showed similar and slightly better performance than the mALBI grade for BCLC stage 0 and A and especially for patients who underwent curative surgery and ablation. In patients treated with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, molecular targeted agents, and the best supportive care, the mALBI grade had better performance than the albumin grade. However, the differences of the indices were very small in all scenarios. Overall, the albumin grade was comparable in efficacy to the mALBI grade, showing particular benefit for patients with early-stage HCC.

抄録 In adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery, one of the key factors working to prevent proximal junctional kyphosis is the proximal anchor. The aim of this study was to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of triangular fixation with conventional fixation as proximal anchoring techniques in ASD surgery. We retrospectively evaluated 54 patients who underwent corrective spinal fusion for ASD. Fourteen patients underwent proximal triangular fixation (Group T; average 74.6 years), and 40 patients underwent the conventional method (Group C; average 70.5 years). Clinical and radiographic outcomes were assessed using visual analogue scale (VAS) values for back pain and the Oswestry disability index (ODI). Radiographic evaluation was also collected preoperatively and postoperatively. Surgical times and intraoperative blood loss of the two groups were not significantly different (493 vs 490 min, 1,260 vs 1,173 mL). Clinical outcomes such as VAS and ODI were comparable in the two groups. Proximal junctional kyphosis in group T was slightly lower than that of group C (28.5% vs 47.5%, p=0.491). However, based on radiology, proximal screw pullout occurred significantly less frequently in the triangular fixation group than the conventional group (0.0% vs 22.5%, p=0.049). Clinical outcomes in the two groups were not significantly different.

抄録 This retrospective study investigated whether necrotic lesions detected on a computed tomography (CT) scan are more regressive than non-necrotic lesions after methotrexate withdrawal in patients pathologically diagnosed with methotrexate-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (MTX-LPD). In total, 89 lesions extracted from 24 patients on CT scans were included in the analysis. All patients had been evaluated for the presence of necrosis within lesions via CT scan upon first suspicion of MTX-LPD (baseline CT scan). The percentage lesion size reduction between the baseline and initial follow-up CT scan was calculated. The association between necrosis within lesions and size changes was estimated via linear regression analyses using both crude and adjusted models. Necrosis was significantly more common in extranodal lesions (27 out of 30 lesions, 90%) than in nodal lesions (9 out of 59 lesions, 15%, p<0.001). In the crude model, the regression of necrotic lesions was 58.5% greater than that of non-necrotic lesions; the difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). Additionally, the longest diameter of necrotic lesions at the baseline CT scan was significantly greater than that of non-necrotic lesions (p<0.001). Based on the adjusted model, necrotic lesions showed 49.3% greater regression than non-necrotic lesions (p=0.017). Necrosis detected on a CT scan was found to be an independent predictor of regression after MTX withdrawal in patients with MTX-LPD.

抄録 To explore the incidence of abnormal vaginal cytology after total laparoscopic hysterectomy for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 3, we retrospectively analyzed the medical records of patients treated at NHO Shikoku Cancer Center (Japan) in 2014-2019. The cases of 99 patients who underwent a laparoscopic (n=36) or open (n=63) hysterectomy and postoperative follow-up were examined. Abnormal vaginal cytology was detected in 13.9% (5/36) of the laparoscopic-surgery (LS) group and 14.3% (9/63) of the open-surgery (OS) group. A vaginal biopsy was performed at the physicians’ discretion; one LS patient and six OS patients were diagnosed with vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia. The cumulative incidence of abnormal vaginal cytology at 3 years post-hysterectomy was 21.4% (LS group) and 20.5% (OS group), a nonsignificant difference. A multivariate analysis showed that age > 50 years was the only independent risk factor for abnormal vaginal cytology among the covariates examined including age; body mass index; histories of vaginal delivery, abdominal surgery, and smoking; and surgical approach (hazard ratio 8.11; 95% confidence interval 1.73-37.98; p=0.01). These results suggest that the occurrence of abnormal vaginal cytology after a hysterectomy may not be influenced by the laparoscopic procedure but is associated with older age.

抄録 This study aimed to determine which muscle the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus (Gmin), or tensor fasciae latae (TFL) contributes most to hip abduction strength and to identify effective sites for cross-sectional area (CSA) Gmin and TFL measurement in hip osteoarthritis (OAhip) patients. Twenty-eight patients with OAhip were included. The muscle CSA and volume were determined using magnetic resonance imaging. Peak isometric strength was determined using hand-held dynamometry. Muscle volumes were normalized to the total muscle volume of hip abductors. Multiple regression analysis was performed. The difference between the CSA of Gmin and TFL was calculated, and correlations with volume and muscle strength were determined. Gmin volume was related to abductor muscle strength (p=0.042). The peak CSA of the Gmin correlated with muscle volume and strength. The CSA of the TFL correlated with volume, with no difference between the CSA of the most protruding part of the lesser trochanter and peak CSA. Gmin volume was strongly related to abductor muscle strength. Peak CSA is a useful parameter for assessing the CSA of the Gmin among patients with OAhip. The CSA of the TFL should be measured at the most protruding part of the lesser trochanter.

抄録 In the current World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors, comprehensive genetic and epigenetic analyses are considered essential for precise diagnosis. A 14-year-old male patient who presented with a cerebellar tumor was initially diagnosed with glioblastoma and treated with radiation and concomitant temozolomide chemotherapy after resection. During maintenance temozolomide therapy, a new contrast-enhanced lesion developed in the bottom of the cavity formed by the resection. A second surgery was performed, but the histological findings in specimens from the second surgery were different from those of the first surgery. Although genome-wide DNA methylation profiling was conducted using frozen tissue for a precise diagnosis, the proportion of tumor cells was insufficient and only normal cerebellum was observed. We then performed comprehensive genetic analysis using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections, which revealed MYCN amplification without alteration of IDH1, IDH2, or Histone H3. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with pediatric-type diffuse high-grade glioma, H3-wildtype and IDH-wildtype. In conclusion, comprehensive genetic and epigenetic analysis should be considered in pediatric brain tumor cases.

抄録 The SHRSP5/Dmcr is a useful animal model for the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) pathology when fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet, and further drug interventions can lead to concomitant cardiovascular disease. While SHRSP5/Dmcr rats have been used for basic research related to NASH, details of their bile acid metabolism in this condition are unknown. In this study, we aimed to clarify the changes in the serum bile acid (BA) fractions associated with NASH and found that glycine-conjugated and unconjugated bile acid increased with worsening NASH and cardiovascular disease while taurine-conjugated BA relatively decreased.

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 Family members are critical mediators of the experiences of transgender people. We studied whether transgen-der subjects had disclosed their identity to their families and their families’ reactions after the disclosure. We also evaluated the subjects’ mental state and its association with disclosure status. Transgender people were recruited for this anonymous questionnaire survey in the Okayama University Hospital gender clinic. Subjects disclosed their identity to family members at the following rates: 68.7% to the father, 89.1% to the mother, 59.1% to a brother, 77.8% to a sister, and 47.6% to grandparents. Fathers had the lowest rate (26.7%) of posi-tive reactions, while over 50% of fathers showed an ambiguous response. Approximately 20% of parents showed a negative response. The majority of parents agreed to hormonal treatment and sex-reassignment sur-gery and that the transgender child should live with the gender they wanted to express. However, the rate of subjects with mood and anxiety disorders according to the Kessler 6 scale was significantly higher in those who experienced negative or ambiguous reactions from family members compared to those who experienced posi-tive reactions. Educational and mental health professionals should support the disclosure process of transgen-der people as well as their family members.

抄録 Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease that usually affects the exocrine glands in mid-dle-aged women. Fifteen percent of SS patients experience severe systemic extraglandular complications, and pleuritis is one of the rare complications of SS. We report the case of an elderly Japanese man who initially pre-sented with a prolonged fever and chest pain and was finally diagnosed with primary SS-associated pleuritis. Of the nine reported cases of primary SS that initially presented with pleuritis, up to six cases were elderly males. This case highlights the complication of pleuritis among elderly males with primary SS.

抄録 Targeted therapies for malignant melanoma have improved patients’ prognoses. A primary gastrointestinal malignant melanoma is very rare, with no standard treatment strategy. We treated a 78-year-old Japanese female with advanced primary gastrointestinal melanoma of the descending colon and gallbladder. We administered a multidisciplinary treatment: surgical resection of the descending colon and gallbladder tumors, resection of the metastatic lymph nodes behind the pancreas head, and immune checkpoint antibody-blockade therapy (nivolumab) for ~4 years. PET/CT demonstrated no recurrent lesion for > 3 years. Multidisciplinary therapies (e.g., surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, target therapy, and immune checkpoint antibody-blockade therapy) can successfully treat primary gastrointestinal malignant melanoma.

抄録 Active treatment with intramedullary screw fixation is now common for athletes with Jones fracture. Outcomes are generally good, but complications can occur. We report 4 rare complications of intramedullary screw fixa-tion. Two cases developed osteomyelitis and pseudarthrosis caused by thermal necrosis. In the other two cases, screw-related complications occurred during the insertion of the tapered headless screw. Although thermal necrosis and screw insertion failures are considered rare complications and not widely reported in the litera-ture, they do occur occasionally. Knowing the mechanisms underlying these complications could help prevent them, and knowing their course could lead caregivers to appropriate interventions when they do occur.

抄録 A 53-year-old man was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, which was refractory to chemotherapies. Systemic papules appeared afterward. The skin biopsies revealed filamentous fungal infection including fusariosis. Despite antifungal therapy, the infection did not resolve, because neutropenia persisted with the leukemia. He underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to overcome the leukemia and restore normal hematopoiesis but died from fusariosis just before engraftment. Fusarium fujikuroi species complex was detected in blood cultures with poor antifungal susceptibility. Because restoring normal hematopoiesis is important in the treatment of fusariosis, HSCT might be considered for patients with persistent pancytopenia.

抄録 Heart diseases are one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite major advances in drug and interventional therapies, surgical procedures, and organ transplantation, further research into new therapeutic options is still necessary. Stem cell therapy has emerged as one option for the treatment of a variety of heart diseases. Although a large number of clinical trials have shown stem cell therapy to be a promising therapeutic approach, the results obtained from these clinical studies are inconsistent, and stem cell-based improvements of heart performance and cardiac remodeling were found to be quite limited. Since the precise mechanisms underlying the therapeutic actions of stem cells are still under debate, researchers have developed a variety of strategies to improve and boost the potency of stem cells in repair. In this review, we summarize both the current therapeutic strategies using stem cells and future directions for enhancing stem cell potency.

抄録 Elderly multiple myeloma (MM) patients, who are generally ineligible for transplantation, have high risks of death and treatment discontinuation, and require a regimen incorporating novel agents that balance safety, tolerability, and efficacy. We evaluated alternating bortezomib-dexamethasone and lenalidomide-dexamethasone treatments administered over a 63-day cycle in transplant-ineligible elderly patients with newly diagnosed MM. Subcutaneous bortezomib 1.3 mg/m2 was administered weekly on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22; oral lenalidomide 15 mg daily on Days 36-56; and oral dexamethasone 20 mg on Days 1, 8, 15, 22, 36, 43, 50, and 57 for 6 cycles. The primary endpoint was the overall response rate.

抄録 We investigated the relationship between human sperm rheotaxis and motile sperm trajectories by using poly-(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS)-based cylindrical microfluidic channels with inner diameters of 100 μm, 50 μm, and 70 μm, which corresponded to the inner diameter of the human isthmus, the length of a sperm and a diameter intermediate between the two, respectively. We counted the number of rheotaxic sperm and sperm with spiral motion. We also analyzed motile sperm trajectories. As the cylindrical channel diameter was decreased, the percentage of sperm cells exhibiting rheotaxis, the percentage of sperm cells exhibiting spiral motion, the frequency-to-diameter ratio of the sperm cells’ spiral trajectories, and the surface area of the microfluidic channel increased, while the flagellar motion at the channel wall decreased. The percentage of sperm exhibiting a spiral trajectory and the frequency-to-diameter ratio of the sperm cells’ spiral trajectories were thus affected by the channel diameter. Our findings suggest that the oviduct structure affects the swimming properties of sperm cells, guiding them from the uterus to the ampulla for egg fertilization. These results could contribute to the development of motile sperm-sorting microfluidic devices for assisted reproductive technologies.

抄録 We aimed to clarify the state of thyroid function in female high school long-distance runners. We evaluated the associations between thyroid function and menstrual condition, bone mineral density (BMD), nutritious status, and body composition. The subjects’ height and weight were measured, along with fat percentage, fat mass, muscle mass, and BMD with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. A nutrition and dietary survey measured the subjects’ intake of energy and nutrients based on meals provided at the subjects’ dorm for 3 days in July of 2016 and 2017. Blood parameters including thyroid hormone and estradiol were measured. Most of the subjects (81.3%) were underweight (body mass index <18.5). The thyroid hormone free T3 value was decreased, but TSH was not increased and was similar to that observed in individuals with anorexia nervosa. In our subjects, thyroid hormone was associated with BMD and nutritional intake. To improve the menstruation abnormality of female athletes and to increase their bone density, the athletes’ weight should be managed by proper nutrient intake and the maintenance of their thyroid function.
