    Abstract In the adult mammalian brain, neurons are produced from neural stem cells (NSCs) residing in two niches-the subventricular zone (SVZ), which forms the lining of the lateral ventricles, and the subgranular zone in the hippocampus. Epigenetic mechanisms contribute to maintaining distinct cell fates by suppressing gene expression that is required for deciding alternate cell fates. Several histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors can affect adult neurogenesis in vivo. However, data regarding the role of specific HDACs in cell fate decisions remain limited. Herein, we demonstrate that HDAC8 participates in the regulation of the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs/neural progenitor cells (NPCs) in the adult mouse SVZ. Specific knockout of

    Abstract Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma. New therapeutic strategies are needed for the treatment of refractory DLBCL. 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal (4-HNE) is a cytotoxic lipid peroxidation marker, which alters intracellular signaling and induces genetic mutations. Lipid peroxidation is associated with nonapoptotic cell death, called ferroptosis. However, the relationship between 4-HNE accumulation and feroptotic regulators in DLBCL has not been fully evaluated. Here, we aimed to evaluate the accumulation of lipid peroxide and the expression of ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) in DLBCL using immunohistochemistry. We found a significant increase in the expression of FSP1 in cases with nuclear 4-HNE accumulation (P = .021). Both nuclear and cytoplasmic 4-HNE accumulation and FSP1 positivity were independent predictors of worse prognosis. In vitro exposure to 4-HNE resulted in its concentration- and time-dependent intracellular accumulation and increased expression of FSP1. Furthermore, short-term (0.25 and 1.0 μM) or long-term (0.25 μM) exposure to 4-HNE induced resistance to not only apoptosis but also ferroptosis. Taken together, regulation of FSP1 through 4-HNE accumulation may attenuate resistance to cell death in treatment-resistant DLBCL and might help develop novel therapeutic strategies for refractory DLBCL.

    Abstract Background and aims: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial esophageal cancer is a multistep treatment involving several endoscopic processes. Although analyzing each phase separately is worthwhile, it is not realistic in practice owing to the need for considerable manpower. To solve this problem, we aimed to establish a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI)-based system, specifically, an automated phase-recognition system that can automatically identify each endoscopic phase based on video images.
    Methods: Ninety-four videos of ESD procedures for superficial esophageal cancer were evaluated in this single-center study. A deep neural network-based phase-recognition system was developed in an automated manner to recognize each of the endoscopic phases. The system was trained with the use of videos that were annotated and verified by 2 GI endoscopists.
    Results: The overall accuracy of the AI model for automated phase recognition was 90%, and the average precision, recall, and F value rates were 91%, 90%, and 90%, respectively. Two representative ESD videos predicted by the model indicated the usability of AI in clinical practice.
    Conclusions: We demonstrated that an AI-based automated phase-recognition system for esophageal ESD can be established with high accuracy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on automated recognition of ESD treatment phases. Because this system enabled a detailed analysis of phases, collecting large volumes of data in the future may help to identify quality indicators for treatment techniques and uncover unmet medical needs that necessitate the creation of new treatment methods and devices.

    Abstract Sperm chromatin compaction is physiologically essential for sperm to acquire the fertility. However, this unique structure composed of protamines makes us unable to solubilize the chromatin due to its resistance to sonication and enzymes usually used for chromatin fragmentation in somatic cells. Even when intense enzymatic treatment is applied, it appears to solubilize only certain portions of sperm chromatin presumably because of the heterogeneous properties. To overcome this issue, we previously developed a method to treat the sperm with recombinant nucleoplasmin, a protamine remover in fertilized embryos, followed by sonication. The nucleoplasmin treatment dramatically increased the efficiency of sperm chromatin solubilization, while a relatively large amount of recombinant nucleoplasmin was required. Here, we describe an improvement of nucleoplasmin method with a less amount of recombinant protein and a shorter reaction time.

    Abstract Lymphedema, resulting from impaired lymphatic drainage, causes inflammation, fibrosis and tissue damage leading to symptoms such as limb swelling and restricted mobility. Despite various treatments under exploration, no standard effective therapy exists. Here a novel technique using the pyro-drive jet injection (PJI) was used to create artificial clefts between collagen fibers, which facilitated the removal of excess interstitial fluid. The PJI was used to deliver a mixture of lactated Ringer's solution and air into the tail of animals with secondary skin edema. Edema levels were assessed using micro-CT scanning. Histopathological changes and neovascularization were evaluated on the injury-induced regenerative tissue. Regarding tissue remodeling, we focused on connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-C. PJI markedly diminished soft tissue volume in the experimental lymphedema animals compared to the non-injected counterparts. The PJI groups exhibited a significantly reduced proportion of inflammatory granulation tissue and an enhanced density of lymphatic vessels and α-smooth muscle actin (αSMA)-positive small vessels in the fibrous granulation tissue compared to the controls. In addition, PJI curtailed the prevalence of CTGF- and VEGF-C-positive cells in regenerative tissue. In a lymphedema animal model, PJI notably ameliorated interstitial edema, promoted lymphatic vessel growth, and bolstered αSMA-positive capillaries in fibrous granulation tissue. PJI's minimal tissue impact post-lymph node dissection indicates significant potential as an early, standard preventative measure. Easily applied in general clinics without requiring specialized training, it offers a cost-effective and highly versatile solution to the management of lymphedema.

    Abstract Objectives: Most research on duodenal ulcers has focused on bulbar ulcers; details on post-bulbar ulcers remain largely unknown. This study was conducted to determine the characteristics of patients with post-bulbar duodenal ulcers depending on their location.
    Methods and materials: We conducted a retrospective study of hospitalized patients newly diagnosed with duodenal ulcers on endoscopy at a tertiary referral center in Japan between April 2004 and March 2019. Five hundred fifty-one patients diagnosed with duodenal ulcers were extracted for analysis.
    Results: Ulcers were observed only in the bulbus in 383 cases, only in the post-bulbar duodenum in 82 cases, and were co-existing in both areas in 86 cases. The Bulbar group had less comorbidities and was more likely to have atrophic gastritis, while the Post-bulbar and Co-existing groups were more likely to be admitted for non-gastrointestinal conditions. Regular acid suppressant use was more common in the post-bulbar group than in the Bulbar group. Bulbar ulcers were associated with a shorter length of stay relative to post-bulbar and co-existing ulcers, but ulcer location was not an independent predictor of length of stay. Patients with co-existing bulbar and post-bulbar ulcers have characteristics similar to those with post-bulbar ulcers alone.
    Conclusion: Patients with post-bulbar ulcers and those with co-existing bulbar and post-bulbar ulcers have different characteristics and outcomes relative to patients with bulbar ulcers.
