    Abstract Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are neoplastic lesions characterized by the proliferation of spindle cells with myofibroblastic features and lymphocyte infiltration. Primary lesions can develop in several locations but rarely arise in the colon as described herein. The present case was that of a 69-year-old woman who visited our hospital with complaints of bloody bowel discharge and a prolapsed mass from the anus. A 20-mm tumor was identified on visual and digital examination. Lower gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a pedunculated, elevated lesion above the dentate line, which showed contrast enhancement on abdominal computed tomography. The patient was preoperatively diagnosed with an anal polyp, which was resected transanally. During the procedure, a mobile tumor coated by anal epithelium was observed at the 11 o'clock position above the dentate line. Deeper parts of the tumor were contiguous with the internal anal sphincter (IAS) muscle. Suspecting a neoplastic lesion, we resected the mass

    Abstract To investigate the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with cancer following the initiation of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and potassium-competitive acid blocker (PCAB), considering sex and anti-cancer drug use. We conducted a self-controlled case-series study using the Japan Medical Data Center claims data from 12422 patients with cancer who were prescribed PPIs or PCAB between January 2017 and December 2019. Considering the timing of PPI or PCAB, control period (days -120 to -1), risk period 1 (days 0 to +30), and risk period 2 (days +31 to +365) were defined. To assess the incidence rate ratio (IRR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) as the risk ratio, we adjusted for anti-cancer drugs to assess the risk of AKI. Additionally, we also examined sex differences to identify the risk of AKI. AKI was observed in risk period 1 [2.05 (1.12-3.72), p = 0.0192], but a slight reduction was noted in risk period 2 [0.60 (0.36-1.00), p = 0.0481]. A sex-specific increase in the risk of AKI was observed only in males during risk period 1 [2.18 (1.10-4.32), p = 0.0260], with a reduction in risk period 2 [0.48 (0.26-0.89), p = 0.0200]. We identified an increased risk of AKI in patients with cancer starting PPIs or PCAB particularly in males within 30 d after PPI or PCAB initiation, emphasizing the need for vigilant monitoring and management of AKI in this patient population.

    Abstract Public health and social measures (PHSMs) targeting the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have potentially affected the epidemiological dynamics of endemic infectious diseases. In this study, we investigated the impact of PHSMs for COVID-19, with a particular focus on varicella dynamics in Japan. We adopted the susceptible-infectious-recovered type of mathematical model to reconstruct the epidemiological dynamics of varicella from Jan. 2010 to Sep. 2021. We analyzed epidemiological and demographic data and estimated the within-year and multi-year component of the force of infection and the biases associated with reporting and ascertainment in three periods: pre-vaccination (Jan. 2010-Dec. 2014), pre-pandemic vaccination (Jan. 2015-Mar. 2020) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (Apr. 2020-Sep. 2021). By using the estimated parameter values, we reconstructed and predicted the varicella dynamics from 2010 to 2027. Although the varicella incidence dropped drastically during the COVID-19 pandemic, the change in susceptible dynamics was minimal; the number of susceptible individuals was almost stable. Our prediction showed that the risk of a major outbreak in the post-pandemic era may be relatively small. However, uncertainties, including age-related susceptibility and travel-related cases, exist and careful monitoring would be required to prepare for future varicella outbreaks.

    Abstract Background: In Japan, routine two-dose immunization against varicella has been conducted among children at ages of 12 and 36 months since 2014, and the vaccination coverage has reached around 90%. To understand the impact of routine varicella vaccination, we reconstructed the epidemiological dynamics of varicella in Japan.
    Methods: Epidemiological and demographic datasets over the past three decades were analyzed to reconstruct the number of susceptible individuals by age and year. To estimate the annual risk of varicella infection, we fitted a balance equation model to the annual number of cases from 1990 to 2019. Using parameter estimates, we reconstructed varicella dynamics starting from 1990 and modeled future dynamics until 2033.
    Results: Overall varicella incidence declined over time and the annual risk of infection among children younger than 10 years old decreased monotonically starting in 2014. Conversely, varicella incidence among teenagers (age 10 to 14 years) has increased each year since 2014. A substantial number of unvaccinated individuals born before the routine immunization era remained susceptible and aged without contracting varicella, while the annual risk of infection among teenagers aged 10 to 14 years increased starting in 2011 despite gradual expansion of varicella vaccine coverage. The number of susceptible individuals decreased over time in all age groups. Modeling indicated that susceptibility rates among pre-school children aged 1 to 4 years will remain low.
    Conclusion: Routine varicella vaccination has successfully reduced infections in pre-school and early primary school age children, but has also resulted in increased infection rates among adolescents. This temporary increase was caused both by the increased age of susceptible individuals and increased transmission risk among adolescents resulting from the dynamic nature of varicella transmission. Monitoring susceptibility among adolescents will be important to prevent outbreaks over the next decade.

    Abstract In Japan, major and minor bimodal seasonal patterns of varicella have been observed. To investigate the underlying mechanisms of seasonality, we evaluated the effects of the school term and temperature on the incidence of varicella in Japan. We analyzed epidemiological, demographic and climate datasets of seven prefectures in Japan. We fitted a generalized linear model to the number of varicella notifications from 2000 to 2009 and quantified the transmission rates as well as the force of infection, by prefecture. To evaluate the effect of annual variation in temperature on the rate of transmission, we assumed a threshold temperature value. In northern Japan, which has large annual temperature variations, a bimodal pattern in the epidemic curve was observed, reflecting the large deviation in average weekly temperature from the threshold value. This bimodal pattern was diminished with southward prefectures, gradually shifting to a unimodal pattern in the epidemic curve, with little temperature deviation from the threshold. The transmission rate and force of infection, considering the school term and temperature deviation from the threshold, exhibited similar seasonal patterns, with a bimodal pattern in the north and a unimodal pattern in the south. Our findings suggest the existence of preferable temperatures for varicella transmission and an interactive effect of the school term and temperature. Investigating the potential impact of temperature elevation that could reshape the epidemic pattern of varicella to become unimodal, even in the northern part of Japan, is required.

    Abstract Long-read sequencing technologies enable us to precisely identify structural variants (SVs), which would be occasionally associated with various types of diseases, including cancers. In this section, we introduce experimental and computational procedures for conducting long-read whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of cancer genomes from fresh frozen tissues/cells. We also demonstrate the analysis of SVs in cancer genomes using long-read WGS data from lung cancer cell lines by several representative computational tools, such as cuteSV and Sniffles2, as examples.
