    Abstract In this report, a modified regimen based on IMpower 133 (carboplatin + etoposide + atezolizumab) was administered to a patient diagnosed with large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) who was concurrently undergoing haemodialysis. Adverse events led to the discontinuation of carboplatin and etoposide after the first course. Nevertheless, the patient exhibited reduction in pulmonary nodule and adrenal metastasis while receiving atezolizumab, indicating its sustained efficacy for a duration of 7 months. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case demonstrating successful treatment with atezolizumab in LCNEC patients undergoing haemodialysis. Atezolizumab can be administered safely in patients undergoing dialysis and is a promising therapeutic option for dialysis patients with LCNEC.

    Abstract The skin often reflects the presence of internal diseases. Acrokeratosis neoplastica (Bazex syndrome) is a unique skin manifestation characterized by its erythematous hyperkeratosis with yellowish, adherent scales on the palm, sole, or other acral locations. There is a potentially high association between Bazex syndrome and malignant pathology, especially squamous cell carcinomas (SCC). To date, various skin conditions have been recognized as diagnostic indicators of insidious malignancies. The recognition of paraneoplastic dermatoses has a strong potential for prompt cancer detection and early therapeutic intervention. Here we describe clinical and forensic cases of Bazex syndrome that are associated with SCC of the glottis and lung. Bazex syndrome has been reported to be associated with a variety of cancers in addition to SCC. We review the clinical manifestations of Bazex syndrome and include updated knowledge on disease pathogenesis.

    Abstract Information on pelagic polychaete community structure in the western North Pacific is available for the subarctic region (Station K2) but not for the subtropical region. Hence, we analyzed day-night vertically stratified samples collected in eight layers within the first 1000 m of the water column during four seasons in 1 year, using the same sampling method as St. K2, at the subtropical region (Station S1). At St. S1, 27 species of pelagic polychaetes belonging to 13 genera and six families were identified. The annual mean abundance was 35.0 ind. 1000 m

    Abstract Transcranial magnetic stimulation studies have indicated that action observation (AO) modulates corticospinal excitability. Although a few previous studies have shown that the AO of simple motor movements at a slow playback speed facilitates corticospinal excitability more than that at normal playback speed, it is unclear if this effect occurs during the AO of sport-related complex movements. Therefore, we investigated the changes in the motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes of the flexor carpi radialis (FCR) and abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscles during the AO of a basketball free-throw movement at three different playback speeds (100%, 75%, and 50% speeds). Additionally, we evaluated the effects of stimulus timing (holding the ball vs. releasing the ball for shooting) and motor expertise (expert basketball players vs. novices) on the MEP amplitude during the AO. Our results demonstrated that regardless of motor expertise, the MEP amplitude of the FCR muscle was significantly smaller in the 50% speed condition than in the 100% condition. In the ADM muscle, the MEP amplitude was significantly larger when the ball was held after dribbling than when the ball was released. Therefore, it is suggested that corticospinal excitability in specific muscles during the observation of complex whole-body movements is influenced by video playback speed and stimulus timing.

    Abstract Homeoproteins have been shown to be expressed in a position-specific manner along the anterior-posterior axis in the developing chick feather bud, as seen also in the developing limb bud. These facts raise the possibility that there may be common mechanistic features in the establishment of the anterior-posterior polarity between both organs. In order to investigate this possibility, feather bud tissues were transplanted into the anterior region of limb buds to determine whether feather bud tissues possess properties such as the zone of polarizing activity of the limb bud. The manipulated limb bud formed a mirror image duplication of the skeletal elements, mainly (2)2234 digit pattern or sometimes 3(2)234. Both the anterior and posterior halves of feather bud tissue exhibited almost equal activity in inducing ectopic skeletal elements. Hoxd-12 and Hoxa-13 were expressed coordinately around the transplanted site of the operated limb bud. This secondary axis-inducing activity of the feather bud was enhanced when grafts were pretreated with trypsin. In contrast, the presumptive feather bud tissue and inter-feather bud tissue did not induce a secondary axis of the limb bud. These results suggest that the feather bud contains a region that exerts polarizing activity and that this region may play key roles in the formation of the anterior-posterior and, if it exists, proximal-distal axis of the feather bud, possibly via the regulation of region specific expression of Hox genes.
