    Abstract Background: Failure factors in reaching the blind end (papillae of Vater, bilioenteric anastomosis) during short-type single-balloon enteroscope-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (sSBE-assisted ERCP) in patients with Roux-en-Y (R-Y) reconstruction remain to be evaluated.
    Aims: We investigated the failure factors in such patients.
    Methods: We retrospectively studied 253 initial sessions of sSBE-assisted ERCP at three endoscopy centers from April 2008 through September 2017, examining failure factors and complications associated with scope insertion in patients with R-Y reconstruction.
    Results: R-Y reconstruction was performed in 157 patients (with gastrectomy: 122 patients; without gastrectomy plus bilioenteric anastomosis: 35 patients). R-Y without gastrectomy (
    Conclusions: Failure factors during sSBE-assisted ERCP were R-Y without gastrectomy and the presence of peritoneal dissemination.

    Abstract Background: Peroral cholangioscopic lithotripsy is a useful procedure in patients with a normal gastrointestinal anatomy who have difficult-to-treat stones. We evaluated the usefulness of peroral direct cholangioscopy (PDCS) using single-balloon enteroscope (SBE) in patients with difficult-to-treat stones who had undergone Roux-en-Y reconstruction.
    Methods: Among 118 patients (169 sessions) who underwent SBE-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to treat biliary stones after Roux-en-Y reconstruction, patients in whom it was difficult to remove biliary stones via a transpapillary or transanastomotic approach and difficult to switch to ultra-slim endoscope, were retrospectively enrolled. The biliary insertion success rate, procedure success rate, procedure time, and procedural complications were assessed. The SBE was inserted into the bile-duct, first using a free-hand technique, second using a guide wire, and third using the large balloon anchoring and deflation (LBAD) technique.
    Results: A total of 11 patients (14 sessions) were enrolled in this study. The biliary insertion success rate was 100%. Bile-duct insertion was performed using a free-hand technique in 4 sessions, a guide wire in 3 sessions (rendezvous technique, 2 sessions), and the LBAD technique in 7 sessions. The procedure success rate was 86% in first session, and 100% in second session. The median procedure time was 81 min (range 49-137). The median procedure time in the bile-duct was 21.5 min (range 6-60). Mild pancreatitis occurred as a complication in one patient. The median follow-up was 528 days (range 282-764). No patient had stone recurrence.
    Conclusions: PDCS using SBE is a useful procedure in patients with Roux-en-Y reconstruction. The LBAD technique is an useful technique of inserting SBE into the bile-duct.

    Abstract Sarcoptes scabiei (Acari: Sarcoptidae) causes a common contagious skin disease that affects many mammals. Here, the complete mitochondrial genome of a mite, S. scabiei var. nyctereutis, from Japanese wild raccoon dogs was analyzed. The 13,837bp circular genome contained 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, and 22 tRNA genes. For the first time, two tRNAs (alanine and tyrosine), that were thought to be absent in scabies mites from other animals, were predicted to have short, non-cloverleaf structures by in silico annotation and detected by RT-PCR, sequencing, and northern analysis. The mitochondrial genome structure of S. scabiei is similar to that of Psoroptes cuniculi and Dermatophagoides farinae. While small and unusual tRNA genes seem to be common among acariform mites, further experimental evidence for their presence is needed. Furthermore, through an analysis of the cox1 gene, we have provided new evidence to confirm the transmission of this mite between different animal hosts.

    Abstract Aim: To evaluate short-type-single-balloon enteroscope (SBE) with passive-bending, high-force transmission functions for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis.
    Methods: Short-type SBE with this technology (SIF-Y0004-V01; working length, 1520 mm; channel diameter, 3.2 mm) was used to perform 50 ERCP procedures in 37 patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis. The rate of reaching the blind end, time required to reach the blind end, diagnostic and therapeutic success rates, and procedure time and complications were studied retrospectively and compared with the results of 34 sessions of ERCP performed using a short-type SBE without this technology (SIF-Y0004; working length, 1520 mm; channel diameter, 3.2 mm) in 25 patients.
    Results: The rate of reaching the blind end was 90% with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 91% with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.59). The median time required to reach the papilla was significantly shorter with SIF-Y0004-V01 than with SIF-Y0004 (16 min vs 24 min, P = 0.04). The diagnostic success rate was 93% with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 84% with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.17). The therapeutic success rate was 95% with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 96% with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.68). The median procedure time was 40 min with SIF-Y0004-V01 and 36 min with SIF-Y0004 (P = 0.50). The incidence of hyperamylasemia was 6.0% in the SIF-Y0004-V01 group and 14.7% in the SIF-Y0004 group (P = 0.723). The incidence of pancreatitis was 0% in the SIF-Y0004-V01 group and 5.9% in the SIF-Y0004 group (P > 0.999). The incidence of gastrointestinal perforation was 2.0% (1/50) in the SIF-Y0004-V01 group and 2.9% (1/34) in the SIF-Y0004 group (P > 0.999).
    Conclusion: SIF-Y0004-V01 is useful for ERCP in patients with Roux-en-Y anastomosis and may reduce the time required to reach the blind end.

    Abstract Individuals with the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience difficulties in perceiving speech in background noises with temporal dips; they also lack social orienting. We tested two hypotheses: (1) the higher the autistic traits, the lower the performance in the speech-in-noise test, and (2) individuals with high autistic traits experience greater difficulty in perceiving speech, especially in the non-vocal noise, because of their attentional bias toward non-vocal sounds. Thirty-eight female Japanese university students participated in an experiment measuring their ability to perceive speech in the presence of noise. Participants were asked to detect Japanese words embedded in vocal and non-vocal background noises with temporal dips. We found a marginally significant effect of autistic traits on speech perception performance, suggesting a trend that favors the first hypothesis. However, caution is needed in this interpretation because the null hypothesis is not rejected. No significant interaction was found between the types of background noise and autistic traits, indicating that the second hypothesis was not supported. This might be because individuals with high autistic traits in the general population have a weaker attentional bias toward non-vocal sounds than those with ASD or to the explicit instruction given to attend to the target speech.

    Abstract Adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) is a rare disease, and the nationwide surveys conducted in Japan have played an important role in improving our understanding of the clinical features and prognosis of this disease. The diagnostic criteria of clinical subtypes have been proposed based on the surveys conducted on patients with ATL who were diagnosed in the 1980s; the current treatment guideline in Japan is based on this classification of ATL subtypes. In the survey for patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2009, the usefulness of the clinical subtypes was confirmed, and soluble interleukin-2 receptor was identified as a new prognostic factor for chronic- and smoldering-type ATL. We conducted another survey for patients who were diagnosed in 2010 and 2011. The age at diagnosis was higher than that reported in previous trials, and the median patient age at diagnosis was 68 years in the study. The 4-year survival rate was better than that in previous studies on acute- and lymphoma-type disease; however, the prognosis has not improved in chronic- and smoldering-type disease. Further nationwide surveys are expected to improve the treatment strategies for ATL.

    Abstract Using vital statistics in Japan (1995-2008), 154,578 live-born twin pairs (128,236 monozygotic [MZ] and 180,920 dizygotic [DZ]) were identified. The proportion of severe discordance among live-born twin births was twice as high in Japanese than Caucasian infants. There were 1858 MZ and 1620 DZ infant deaths. Computation of the relationship between infant mortality rate and birth weight discordance among the twins was performed. Discordance levels were classified into seven groups: <5%, five groups from 5-9% to 25-29%, and ≥30%.The mortality rate was significantly higher in MZ than DZ twins for discordances except at 5-9% and 10-14%. The lowest rate for MZ twins was at 5-9% (7.5 per 1000 live twins) and significantly increased from 10-14% (9.4) to ≥30% (83.4), while the lowest rate for DZ twins was at <5% (6.7), which significantly increased at 10-14% (8.0) and from 25-29% (12.1) to ≥30% (35.5). The relationship was also computed in two gestational age groups (<28 and ≥28 weeks). For births at <28 weeks, three discordances (after 20-24%) in MZ twins were associated with adverse mortality rate. For births at ≥28 weeks, the same relationship was obtained after 10-14% in MZ and after 20-24% in DZ twins. The relationship from 2002 to 2008 showed that the mortality rates significantly increased after 10-14% for both types of twins. In conclusion, five discordance levels in MZ and three levels in DZ twins were associated with adverse mortality rates.
