    Abstract Left bronchial compression is a rarely reported, postoperative complication of the arterial switch operation with the LeCompte maneuver for transposition of the great arteries. Postoperative neopulmonary root dilatation and the anterior-posterior, anatomical relationship of the great vessels may cause this condition. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction may mask the condition even if the left bronchus has been severely obstructed. The apparent inconsistency between the abnormally decreased pulmonary blood flow and the absence of any irregularities in the vascular structure that might account for it suggested hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction to be the cause. We present herein a case of left bronchial compression presenting malacia after an arterial switch operation with the LeCompte maneuver and also present a review of seven, other, reported cases.
    Learning objectives: Left bronchial compression is a rare complication of the arterial switch operation with the LeCompte maneuver for transposition of the great arteries and is possibly caused by root dilatation and the anatomical relationship of the great vessels. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction may mask the condition.

    Abstract Consuming food is essential for survival, maintaining health, and triggering positive emotions like pleasure. One of the factors that drive us toward such behavior is the presence of various compounds in foods. There are many methods to analyze these molecules in foods; however, it is difficult to analyze the spatial distribution of these compounds using conventional techniques, such as mass spectrometry combined with high-performance liquid chromatography or gas chromatography. Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a two-dimensional ionization technology that enables detection of compounds in tissue sections without extraction, purification, separation, or labeling. There are many methods for ionization of analytes, including secondary ion mass spectrometry, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization, and desorption electrospray ionization. Such MSI technologies can provide spatial information on the location of a specific analyte in food. The number of studies utilizing MSI technologies in food science has been increasing in the past decade. This review provides an overview of some of the recent applications of MSI in food science and related fields. In the future, MSI will become one of the most promising technologies for visualizing the distribution of food components and for identifying food-related factors by their molecular weights to improve quality, quality assurance, food safety, nutritional analysis, and to locate administered food factors.

    Abstract Preoperatively determining the intramural aortic course in a case of anomalous origin of single coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery is important for planning surgery, such as the unroofing technique. A thin wall separating the ascending aorta from the common coronary artery on transthoracic echocardiography and a crescent-shaped cross-section of the common coronary artery on computed tomography demonstrate an intramural aortic course of the common coronary artery. We present herein a case of anomalous origin of single coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery with an intramural aortic course and review eight other reported cases. <

    Abstract Background: Model-informed approaches are important in drug development, including for dose optimization and the collection of evidence in support of efficacy.
    Materials and methods: We developed a modified Michaelis-Menten pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics model and used it to conduct simulations of glucarpidase at doses between 10 and 80 U/kg rescue treatment after high-dose methotrexate therapy. We carried out a dose-finding modeling and simulation study before a phase II study of glucarpidase. Monte-Carlo simulations were conducted using the deSolve package of R software (version 4.1.2). The proportion of samples in which the plasma methotrexate concentration was less than 0.1 and 1.0 μmol/l at 70 and 120 h after methotrexate treatment was evaluated for each dosage of glucarpidase.
    Results: The proportion of samples in which the plasma methotrexate concentration was less than 0.1 μmol/l at 70 h after methotrexate treatment was 71.8% and 89.6% at 20 and 50 U/kg of glucarpidase, respectively. The proportion of samples in which the plasma methotrexate concentration was less than 0.1 μmol/l at 120 h after methotrexate treatment was 46.4% and 59.0% at 20 and 50 U/kg of glucarpidase, respectively.
    Conclusion: We determined a recommended glucarpidase dose of 50 U/kg to be ethically acceptable. A rebound in the serum concentration of methotrexate may be observed in many patients after the administration of glucarpidase, and long-term monitoring (over 144 h) of the serum methotrexate concentration may be needed after the administration of glucarpidase. Its validity was confirmed in the phase II study and glucarpidase was approved for manufacturing in Japan.

    Abstract Purpose: Casirivimab/imdevimab (REGN-COV), a cocktail of neutralizing antibodies against the receptor-binding domain of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein, was shown to be an effective treatment and post-exposure prophylaxis measure for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We assessed the antibody titers among patients who received REGN-COV with the purpose of evaluating this therapeutic and prophylactic option from the serological point of view.
    Methods: We collected serological data of patients with COVID-19 who were treated with REGN-COV 1200 mg (casirivimab 600 mg/imdevimab 600 mg). Antibody titers were assessed within 24 h before and within 48 h after the administration of REGN-COV using ARCHITECT SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin (Ig)G (IgG
    Results: A total of nine patients were evaluated. IgG
    Conclusion: The high titer of IgG

    Abstract We performed a pilot study to assess the immunogenicity and safety of intradermal hepatitis B (HB) virus vaccines in people living with HIV (PLWH). This single-center prospective study was conducted in Yokohama, Japan. Adult PLWH with serum antibodies against HB surface antigen (anti-HBs) <10 mIU/mL at all time points after standard HB vaccination were included. We administered HB surface antigen (total dose of 10 μg) at 5 separate sites intradermally at baseline, one month, and 6-9 months and measured anti-HBs 1-3 months after administration. Eleven PLWH were included in this study. The mean age was 36 years, and all patients were men. At baseline, all patients were on antiretroviral therapy, and the mean CD4+ lymphocyte count was 588 /μL and plasma HIV-RNA was <20 copies/mL, except for one patient. Anti-HB levels were elevated to >10 mIU/mL in one patient after one dose, 6 patients after 2 doses, and 4 patients after 3 doses of the intradermal vaccines. Eight patients experienced grade 1 local adverse events. Additional vaccination via the intradermal route induced an anti-HBs level >10 mIU/mL in all patients, without serious adverse events.
