    Abstract A human ovarian clear cell carcinoma cell line was established from a 46-year-old Japanese woman. That line, designated MTC-22, has proliferated continuously for over 6 months in conventional RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum and has been passaged over 50 times. MTC-22 doubling-time is ~ 18 h, which is much shorter than most ovarian clear cell carcinoma lines reported to date. Morphologically, MTC-22 cells exhibit polygonal shapes and proliferate to form a monolayer in a jigsaw puzzle-like arrangement without contact inhibition. Ultrastructurally, cells exhibit numerous intracytoplasmic glycogen granules and well-developed mitochondria. G-band karyotype analysis indicated that cells have a complex karyotype close to tetraploid. We observed that the expression pattern of a series of ovarian carcinoma-related molecules in MTC-22 cells was identical to that seen in the patient's tumour tissue. Notably, MTC-22 cells, and the patient's carcinoma tissue, expressed low-sulphated keratan sulphate recognised by R-10G and 294-1B1 monoclonal antibodies, a hallmark of non-mucinous ovarian carcinoma, and particularly of clear cell ovarian carcinoma. Moreover, characteristic point mutations-one in ARID1A, which encodes the AT-rich interaction domain containing protein 1A, and the other in PIK3CB, which encodes the catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase-were seen in the patient's tumour tissue and retained in MTC-22 cells. Collectively, these findings indicate that MTC-22 cells could serve as a valuable tool for investigating the pathophysiology of ovarian clear cell carcinoma, particularly that harbouring PIK3CB mutations, and for developing and validating new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to this life-threatening malignancy.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of brodalumab, a fully human anti-interleukin-17 receptor A monoclonal antibody, in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).
    Methods: Patients receiving subcutaneous brodalumab 210 mg during the 16-week double-blind period of this multicentre, phase 3 study conducted across Japan, Korea and Taiwan continued the same during the 52-week open-label extension, whereas patients receiving placebo switched to brodalumab 210 mg at week 16. Efficacy [Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) 40 and ASAS 20 response rates; change from baseline in AS Disease Activity Score using CRP (ASDAS-CRP)] and safety were evaluated.
    Results: Overall, 145 patients (brodalumab, n = 77; placebo, n = 68) received brodalumab during the open-label extension. ASAS 40 response rates (95% CI) of 56.3% (44.7%, 67.3%) and 57.4% (44.1%, 70.0%) were achieved in the brodalumab and placebo groups, respectively, at week 68. ASAS 20 response rates (95% CI) achieved at week 68 in both treatment groups were similar [brodalumab, 71.3% (60.0%, 80.8%); placebo, 78.7% (66.3%, 88.1%)]. The least squares mean change (95% CI) in ASDAS-CRP at week 68 suggested a clinically important improvement (change, ≥1.1) in both treatment groups [brodalumab, -1.528 (-1.737, -1.319); placebo, -1.586 (-1.815, -1.357)]. The exposure-adjusted event rates (per 100 patient-years) for treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and drug-related TEAEs were 255.9 and 147.9, respectively; nasopharyngitis (35.6) and upper respiratory tract infection (14.7) were the most common TEAEs.
    Conclusions: Brodalumab demonstrated sustained efficacy and a consistent safety profile in patients with axSpA over 68 weeks.

    Abstract Background: Although there are various advantages of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) over open liver resection, some problems have been reported, such as disorientation and lack of control of bleeding during liver parenchymal dissection. In this study, we discuss a strategy to overcome the disorientation experienced during liver parenchymal dissection, especially in anatomical LLR.
    Technical presentation: This procedure involves hepatic parenchymal dissection from the hepatic vein branch along its trunk to reveal an important landmark in anatomical LLR. Knowing which region of the liver is perfused into each hepatic vein in preoperative 3D simulation allows the tracing of the hepatic vein branch that naturally leads to the hepatic vein trunk. After that, hepatic resection can be easily completed by dissecting the line connected to the other landmarks, the Glisson branch, the root of the hepatic vein, and the liver demarcation line.
    Conclusion: In conclusion, this surgical procedure that traces the branch of the hepatic vein exposes the trunk, which makes it a very useful tool for limited laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy.

    Abstract Background: Although HOXB9 induces tumor proliferation and chemoresistance in several cancer cells, little is known in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In the present study, increased expression of HOXB9 in PDAC was associated with the induction of angiogenic factors and poor overall survival through the TGFβ pathway. Taken together, these results suggested that HOXB9 expression in PDAC could be a surrogate marker in clinical treatment.
    Methods: In vitro
    Results: HOXB9 expression regulated the expression of TGFβ1 signature, angiogenic factors, and EMT markers
    Conclusions: In conclusion, HOXB9 expression could mediate angiogenesis, EMT, and cancer stemness through the TGFβ pathway, thereby resulting in chemoresistance and poor overall outcomes in patients with pancreatic cancer. Our results suggested that HOXB9 may clinically serve as a novel surrogate biomarker.

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of intentional double scroll formation of donor Descemet membrane (DM) inside a glass tube inserter (the Fogla technique) in DM endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for controlled insertion and unfolding of grafts.
    Methods: Eleven consecutive patients who underwent DMEK were included in this study. We sought to specify graft characteristics in which double scroll configuration was successfully formed using the Fogla technique. We compared donor age, graft size, surgical time, unfolding time, and visual outcomes between patients with and without double scroll configuration. The ability to form double scroll formation of DM grafts of various diameters and unfolding time of DM grafts was evaluated using total seven eye-bank eyes in
    Results: A double scroll configuration inside a glass tube was successfully obtained in six DMEK grafts (54.5%). When comparing clinical features between those with and without double scroll configuration, only graft size was significantly larger in those with double scroll configuration (7.9 ± 0.2 mm) than in those without (7.4 ± 0.4,
    Conclusions: A double scroll configuration within a glass tube can be obtained more frequently in larger DMEK grafts (8.0 mm in diameter), which may result in easier and faster DMEK procedures.
