    Abstract The nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) cause miscellaneous disorders in humans, especially in the lungs, which present with a variety of radiological features. To date, knowledge of the pathogenic role of the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) in the human lung and the definitive criteria for initiating multidrug therapy are still lacking. However, there is little doubt that clarithromycin is the most efficacious drug among the various treatment regimens for lung NTM. In this study, with the use of a bridged nucleic acid (BNA) probe a detection system based on a real-time PCR (BNA-PCR) for the identification of the point mutations at position 2058 or 2059 in domain V of the 23S rRNA gene responsible for clarithromycin resistance was developed and has been assessed using MAC isolates from clinical samples. Out of 199 respiratory specimens, the drug susceptibility test demonstrated 12 strains resistant to clarithromycin, while the BNA-PCR showed 8 strains carrying the point mutation at position 2058 or 2059 of the 23S rRNA gene. This system revealed that there were mycobacterial strains resistant to clarithromycin which do not carry previously identified resistance genes. This paper documents a novel system for detecting clarithromycin-resistant strains and demonstrates that although these mutations are tacitly assumed to account for >90% of the reported resistant mutants, there is a significant fraction of resistant mutants that do not harbor these mutations. Therefore, unknown mechanisms affecting clarithromycin resistance remain to be elucidated.

    Abstract The dimesityl derivative of fluoreno[2,3-b]fluorene (6b) was synthesized and its structure and physical properties were investigated to elucidate the effects of its enhanced open-shell character, which was predicted theoretically in comparison with the smaller congener indeno[2,1-b]fluorene (5b). All structural and physical properties are in accordance with the theoretical predictions and can be interpreted in terms of the resonance contributors. The most remarkable spectroscopic property is the larger excitation energy of 24π-electron hydrocarbon 6b than that of 20π-electron system 5b in their lowest energy absorption bands of electronic spectra, a trend that is contrary to the well-known feature for common, alternant aromatic hydrocarbons. The theoretical basis of this unusual behavior was elucidated on the basis of the balance between the diradical character, exchange integral, and HOMO-LUMO gap and was confirmed by a complete-active-space configuration-interaction method with two electrons in two orbitals for the corresponding parent hydrocarbons 5a and 6a.

    Abstract Antiangiogenic therapy for the treatment of cancer and other neovascular diseases is desired to be selective for pathological angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), a cytokine required for the differentiation of monocyte lineage cells, promotes the formation of high-density vessel networks in tumors and therefore possesses therapeutic potential as an M-CSF inhibitor. However, the physiological role of M-CSF in vascular and lymphatic development, as well as the precise mechanisms underlying the antiangiogenic effects of M-CSF inhibition, remains unclear. Moreover, therapeutic potential of M-CSF inhibition in other neovascular diseases has not yet been evaluated. We used osteopetrotic (op/op) mice to demonstrate that M-CSF deficiency reduces the abundance of LYVE-1(+) and LYVE1(-) macrophages, resulting in defects in vascular and lymphatic development. In ischemic retinopathy, M-CSF was required for pathological neovascularization but was not required for the recovery of normal vasculature. In mouse osteosarcoma, M-CSF inhibition effectively suppressed tumor angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, and it disorganized extracellular matrices. In contrast to VEGF blockade, interruption of M-CSF inhibition did not promote rapid vascular regrowth. Continuous M-CSF inhibition did not affect healthy vascular and lymphatic systems outside tumors. These results suggest that M-CSF-targeted therapy is an ideal strategy for treating ocular neovascular diseases and cancer.

Their structures were established in a three-step procedure: (1) probable structures were speculated from MS analysis; (2) candidates were synthesized; (3) HPLC profiles were established for identification of the natural products. Newly isolated mycolactones correspond to the "oxidized forms" of mycolactone A/B, the causative toxin of Buruli ulcer, isolated from Mycobacterium ulcerans.

    Abstract Background: Pneumatosis intestinalis is a rare adverse event that occurs in patients with lung cancer, especially those undergoing treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI). Osimertinib is the most recently approved EGFR-TKI, and its usage is increasing in clinical practice for lung cancer patients who have mutations in the EGFR gene.
    Case presentation: A 74-year-old woman with clinical stage IV (T2aN2M1b) lung adenocarcinoma was determined to have EGFR gene mutations, namely a deletion in exon 19 and a point mutation (T790 M) in exon 20. Osimertinib was started as seventh-line therapy. Follow-up computed tomography on the 97th day after osimertinib administration incidentally demonstrated intra-mural air in the transverse colon, as well as intrahepatic portal vein gas. Pneumatosis intestinalis and portal vein gas improved by fasting and temporary interruption of osimertinib. Osimertinib was then restarted and continued without recurrence of pneumatosis intestinalis. Overall, following progression-free survival of 12.2 months, with an overall duration of administration of 19.4 months (581 days), osimertinib was continued during beyond-progressive disease status, until a few days before the patient died of lung cancer.
    Conclusions: Pneumatosis intestinalis should be noted as an important adverse event that can occur with administration of osimertinib; thus far, such an event has never been reported. This was a valuable case in which osimertinib was successfully restarted after complete recovery from pneumatosis intestinalis, such that further extended administration of osimertinib was achieved.

    Abstract To evaluate a newly developed immunochromatographic test (the MySet test) for the detection of Chlamydophila pneumoniae-specific immunoglobulin M antibodies, the results obtained by the MySet test were compared with those obtained by two serological tests. The sensitivity and specificity of the MySet test were 100% and 92.9%, respectively. The MySet test is rapid and simple to use and is thought to be a useful tool for the selection of appropriate antibiotic therapy.

    Abstract Objective: Isolates of M. tuberculosis were analyzed for their DNA fingerprints to facilitate understanding of ongoing transmission of tuberculosis in Sapporo (population 1.87 million), Japan, where the incidence rate of tuberculosis was 15.0 per 100,000 in 2004.
    Subject: Out of all tuberculosis patients registered in the city from November 1998 to December 2003, isolates from culture-positive respiratory tuberculosis cases for whom written informed consent had been obtained, were analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The study included 345 cases (249 men and 96 women) whose isolates were available for DNA patterns.
    Method: Using standard IS6110-RFLP typing, cases whose isolates shared identical fingerprints were considered to belong to the same cluster. Proportions of clustered cases were evaluated according to their clinical and socio-economical characteristics.
    Results: Out of 345 cases, 207 (60.0%) were classified into 59 clusters, and 15% of clustered cases having definite epidemiological links. Multiple logistic regression analysis in men showed that age and infectiousness were significantly related to clustering. The adjusted odds ratios (OR) [95% confidence intervals (CI)] were 0.17 [0.03-0.79] for 30-59 years, 0.15 [0.03-0.69] for 60 years or over and 2.35 [1.17-4.70] for those cases assigned as the highest level of transmission of tuberculosis from the infectiousness index of cases. For women the final model showed the adjusted OR [95% CI] were 0.52 [0.22-1.22] for those with previous history of tuberculosis and 0.33 [0.06-1.85] for diabetics. In male cases with a previous history of tuberculosis, most highly infectious cases were significantly associated with clustering (OR [95% CI], 4.53 [1.16-17.68]).
    Conclusion: The results suggest that highly infectious male tuberculosis cases with endogenous reactivation have contributed to recent transmission of tuberculosis in the studied area.
