    Abstract Very-late-onset schizophrenia-like psychosis (VLOSLP) is a condition in which psychotic symptoms emerge after the age of 60 years. Given its heterogeneous nature, VLOSLP remains a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma. Here, we report a case of a 68-year-old patient with psychosis refractory to antipsychotics who was successfully treated with mirtazapine monotherapy. This case suggests that mirtazapine monotherapy may be effective for the treatment of patients with antipsychotic- refractory VLOSLP.

    Abstract Parkinson's disease is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid, which consists of α-synuclein (α-Syn). To screen compounds with amyloid aggregation inhibitory activity, an effective method for the preparation of α-Syn is a prerequisite. We established a simpler method for α-Syn preparation using freeze-thaw treatment of transformed Escherichia coli. Furthermore, we found that the high-mannose type free N-glycans could prevent α-Syn aggregation.

    Abstract An 81-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal opacity on the chest radiograph. She was diagnosed with cT3N3M1a, Stage ⅣA left lower lung lobe adenocarcinoma, and the PD-L1(22C3)expression was high (tumor proportion score[TPS]: 100%). She was administered with pembrolizumab monotherapy because her performance status(PS)was PS 1. After 4 courses, she had a partial response(PR), but her treatment had to be discontinued because of cutaneous adverse effects. After 6 months, the tumor regrew, and atezolizumab monotherapy was provided. Another cutaneous adverse event occurred, and treatment was discontinued again. However, a complete response(CR)was maintained for approximately 2 years and 6 months after discontinuation of treatments.

    Abstract Fungi have the capacity to assimilate a diverse range of both inorganic and organic sulfur compounds. It has been recognized that all sulfur sources taken up by fungi are in soluble forms. In this study, we present evidence that fungi can utilize gaseous carbonyl sulfide (COS) for the assimilation of a sulfur compound. We found that the filamentous fungus

    Abstract In Japan, a considerable number of foreigners encounter challenges in accessing appropriate healthcare services due to the lack of insurance coverage. However, the absence of a public database on these individuals makes it difficult to assess their health problems and healthcare access status. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of vulnerable Thai patients in Japan and to shed light on the specific challenges they face within Japan's healthcare system. A retrospective analysis was conducted using records of patients who required emergency healthcare support from the Royal Thai Embassy in Tokyo between 2004 and 2020. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed to examine the general characteristics, insurance status, and diseases of the patients. Additionally, patients were classified as either prolonged residents or brief residents based on their duration of stay in Japan until hospital admission (1 year or more or less than 1 year). A total of 74 patients were identified, with the majority (91.9%) lacking insurance coverage. Notably, there was an increase in the number of brief residents, including tourists, during the 2010s. Prolonged residents were more likely to experience chronic diseases, whereas brief residents were more prone to sustaining injuries. The patient records from the Thai Embassy consistently highlight the urgent requirement for emergency healthcare support within this population. However, the existing policies in Japan fall short in adequately addressing the healthcare access needs of this vulnerable population. Therefore, it is crucial to provide additional support and interventions to enhance their healthcare access.

    Abstract Home care can present many challenges without management. During COVID-19 pandemic, when an informal caregiver becomes infected and had to isolate themselves, finding another caregiver becomes extremely challenging. For terminally ill patients, who relies on other for even minor tasks, interruption of care could pose severe negative consequences.
