    Abstract Background: Type 2 diabetes is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular events. Previous studies have reported that advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were related to cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes. However, data on associations between long-term AGEs and cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes are lacking. This study aimed to determine whether a long-time shift in the levels of serum AGEs is associated with cardiovascular events in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.
    Methods: Two-time serum methyl-glyoxal-hydroimidazoline (MG-H1) levels were measured in 138 patients with type 2 diabetes whose mean glycated hemoglobin level was 10.1%. We categorized patients whose serum MG-H1 levels were < 2.8 µg/mL at both times as the continuous low MG-H1 group. The primary endpoints of this study were combined cardiovascular events, which were defined as heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, stroke, and all-cause death. Hazard ratios (HRs) for combined cardiovascular events with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using the Cox proportional hazard models to compare the outcomes between the continuous low MG-H1 group and others.
    Results: The continuous low MG-H1 group was associated with a significantly lower risk than others in combined cardiovascular events after adjusting for possible confounders (HR: 0.50; 95% CI, 0.28-0.87; P = 0.02). Furthermore, the same relationship was observed in patients without a history of cardiovascular events.
    Conclusions: Continuous low serum MG-H1 levels are associated with a low frequency of diabetes-related complications in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes.

    Abstract Background: The efficacy of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for chronic DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection is still under discussion. This study was performed to investigate the incidence of and risk factors for late aortic expansion after TEVAR for chronic DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection.
    Methods: From March 2014 to April 2019, a total of 35 patients with chronic DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection underwent TEVAR in our institution. Risk factors for aortic expansion events were examined by stepwise Cox regression analysis. Aortic expansion events were defined as reintervention for expansion or aortic expansion of greater than 5 mm.
    Results: No operative death occurred, and the 2-year survival rate was 96.8%. The 1- and 2-year rates of freedom from reintervention were 87.8% and 80.2%, respectively. During follow-up, 11 patients had late aortic expansion events (4 with expansion of the thoracic aorta and 7 with expansion of the abdominal aorta). The 1- and 2-year rates of freedom from aortic expansion were 87.8% and 68.7%, respectively. Significant risk factors for expansion events were aortic dilation at the celiac level (hazard ratio [HR], 1.11; P = .015), saccular aneurysm formation of the false lumen (HR, 5.08; P = .049), and high number of residual large reentries (>5 mm) (HR, 2.78; P = .027).
    Conclusions: In patients undergoing TEVAR for chronic DeBakey IIIb aortic dissection, late aortic expansion in both the thoracic and abdominal aorta remains an important issue. Aggressive additional intervention should be considered for high-risk patients with residual large reentries and aortic dilation at the celiac level.

    Abstract Background/aims: Helicobacter pylori infection-negative gastric cancer (HPNGC) has not been systematically investigated in consecutive patients. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the clinicopathological and endoscopic features of HPNGC.
    Methods: This single-center retrospective study selected participants from patients with gastric cancer who were treated at the Fukuoka University Chikushi Hospital between January 2013 and December 2021. Only patients diagnosed with HPNGC were enrolled, and their clinicopathological and endoscopic features were analyzed in detail.
    Results: The prevalence of HPNGC in the present study was 2.6% (54/2112). The types of HPNGC observed in each gastric region were as follows: advanced gastric cancer was observed in the cardia; gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic-gland differentiation, gastric adenocarcinoma of foveolar-type presenting with whitish elevation and raspberry-like foveolar-type gastric adenocarcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma arising in polyposis, and gastric adenocarcinoma with autoimmune gastritis were observed in the fundic gland region ranging from the gastric fornix to the gastric body; signet-ring cell carcinoma was observed in the gastric-pyloric transition region ranging from the lower gastric body to the gastric angle; and well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma with low-grade atypia was observed in the antrum.
    Conclusions: This study revealed that tumors from each gastric region exhibited distinct macroscopic and histological types in HPNGC.

    Abstract Highlight Kagoura and colleagues report a rare case of paired hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence after hepatectomy with removal of a bile duct tumor thrombosis following endoscopic sphincterotomy. Recurrence is believed to have occurred both at the stump of the hepatic bile duct and at the post-sphincterotomy site of the papilla of Vater.

    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) often causes severe viral pneumonia. Although many studies using mouse models have examined the pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19 pathogenesis remains poorly understood. In vivo imaging analysis using two-photon excitation microscopy (TPEM) is useful for elucidating the pathology of COVID-19, providing pathological insights that are not available from conventional histological analysis. However, there is no reporter SARS-CoV-2 that demonstrates pathogenicity in C57BL/6 mice and emits sufficient light intensity for two-photon in vivo imaging. Here, we generated a mouse-adapted strain of SARS-CoV-2 (named MASCV2-p25) and demonstrated its efficient replication in the lungs of C57BL/6 mice, causing fatal pneumonia. Histopathologic analysis revealed the severe inflammation and infiltration of immune cells in the lungs of MASCV2-p25-infected C57BL/6 mice, not unlike that observed in COVID-19 patients with severe pneumonia. Subsequently, we generated a mouse-adapted reporter SARS-CoV-2 (named MASCV-Venus-p9) by inserting the fluorescent protein-encoding gene Venus into MASCV2-p25 and sequential lung-to-lung passages in C57BL/6 mice. C57BL/6 mice infected with MASCV2-Venus-p9 exhibited severe pneumonia. In addition, the TPEM of the lungs of the infected C57BL/6J mice showed that the infected cells emitted sufficient levels of fluorescence for easy observation. These findings suggest that MASCV2-Venus-p9 will be useful for two-photon in vivo imaging studies of the pathogenesis of severe COVID-19 pneumonia.
