    Abstract Approximately 500,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer annually, with high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) estimated to be 20 times higher. The diathermy ablation is an inexpensive minimally invasive surgeries for CIN. However, little is known about the treatment outcomes. A prospective clinical trial was therefore conducted to evaluate ablation outcomes based on detailed colposcopy findings, cytology, and biopsy results over a two-year period. We enrolled CIN2 (n = 32) and CIN3 (n = 7) patients. Eligibility criteria included: aged between 29 and 49 (median: 36, mean: 36.3), visible transformation zone with high-grade lesions not entirely occupying the cervix, and histologically diagnosed with CIN2 or CIN3. Cytology and HPV genotyping were performed, and colposcopic findings were evaluated. Colposcopy-guided diathermy ablation was conducted by a certified gynecologic oncologist. The incidence of recurrent or residual disease was 5.1% (2/39, 95% confidence interval: - 0.02 to 0.12). The prevalence of HPV infection at 12 months decreased after surgery, as 67.6% (23/34, 0.52-0.83) of patients were HPV-negative. No severe adverse events were reported, while there were five pregnancies with full-term deliveries. The promising outcome was possibly due to selection of rigorous surgical indication and skilled surgical techniques. The study highlights the importance of experienced and skilled colposcopists.TrialRegistry This study was registered in the clinical trial registration system of the University hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR ID: UMIN000024483). Open for the trial to the public through the website: 01/11/2016. First registration of the patient: 30/01/2017.

    Abstract A 51-year-old man with advanced lung cancer underwent chemotherapy including an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI). Subsequently, he developed ICI-related pneumonitis and colitis, followed by a ten-month treatment course of high doses of steroids. An infection with the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron BA.5 variant caused lethal respiratory failure. Autopsy examination revealed no evidence of viable lung cancer cells in the evaluated organs including the lungs, suggesting that pathological complete response (pCR) could be successfully achieved by ICI treatment in advanced lung cancer patients. Recognizing steroid-resistant ICI-related adverse events as critical factors in severe COVID-19 emphasizes the need for appropriate assessment of ICI-induced pCR.

    Abstract For decades, chemists have explored cluster compounds according to theoretical models that have proved too simplistic to accurately predict cluster properties, stabilities and functions. By incorporating molecular symmetry into existing cluster models, we can better study real polyatomic molecules and have new guidelines for their design. This symmetry-adapted cluster model allows us to discover substances that shatter the conventional notion of clusters. Theoretical predictors will point to the viability of new clusters, whose syntheses can be realized with parallel advances in experimental methods. This Perspective describes these modern experimental and theoretical strategies for cluster design and how they may give rise to new fields in cluster chemistry.

    Abstract O-GlcNAc is a unique post-translational modification found in cytoplasmic, nuclear, and mitochondrial proteins. In a limited number of extracellular proteins, O-GlcNAc modifications occur through the action of EOGT, which specifically modifies subsets of epidermal growth factor-like (EGF) domain-containing proteins such as Notch receptors. The abnormalities due to EOGT mutations in mice and humans and the increased EOGT expression in several cancers signify the importance of EOGT pathophysiology and extracellular O-GlcNAc. Unlike intracellular O-GlcNAc monosaccharides, extracellular O-GlcNAc extends to form elongated glycan structures. However, the enzymes involved in the O-GlcNAc glycan extension have not yet been reported. In our study, we comprehensively screened potential galactosyltransferase and sialyltransferase genes related to the canonical O-GlcNAc glycan pathway and revealed the essential roles of B4GALT1 and ST3GAL4 in O-GlcNAc glycan elongation in human HEK293 cells. These findings were confirmed by sequential glycosylation of Drosophila EGF20 in vitro by EOGT, β4GalT-1, and ST3Gal-IV. Thus, the findings from our study throw light on the specific glycosyltransferases that mediate O-GlcNAc glycan elongation in human HEK293 cells.

    Abstract Superatoms are promising materials for their potential in elemental substitution and as new building blocks. Thus far, various synthesis methods of thiol-protected Au clusters including an Au 25 superatom have been investigated. However, previously reported methods were mainly depending on the thermodynamic stability of the aimed clusters. In this report, a synthesis method for thiol-protected Au clusters using a dendrimers template is proposed. In this method, the number of Au atoms was controlled by the stepwise complexation feature of a phenylazomethine dendrimer. Therefore, synthesis speed was increased compared with the case without the dendrimer template. Hybridization for the Au 25 superatoms was also achieved using the complexation control of metals.

    Abstract Urine cytology, which is based on the examination of cellular images obtained from urine, is widely used for the diagnosis of bladder cancer. However, the diagnosis is sometimes difficult in highly heterogeneous carcinomas exhibiting weak cellular atypia. In this study, we propose a new deep learning method that utilizes image information from another organ for the automated classification of urinary cells. We first extracted 3137 images from 291 lung cytology specimens obtained from lung biopsies and trained a classification process for benign and malignant cells using VGG-16, a convolutional neural network (CNN). Subsequently, 1380 images were extracted from 123 urine cytology specimens and used to fine-tune the CNN that was pre-trained with lung cells. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, we introduced three different CNN training methods and compared their classification performances. The evaluation results showed that the classification accuracy of the fine-tuned CNN based on the proposed method was 98.8% regarding sensitivity and 98.2% for specificity of malignant cells, which were higher than those of the CNN trained with only lung cells or only urinary cells. The evaluation results showed that urinary cells could be automatically classified with a high accuracy rate. These results suggest the possibility of building a versatile deep-learning model using cells from different organs.
