    Abstract Introduction: Risk factors for seriously ill coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) patients have been reported in several studies. However, to date, few studies have reported simple risk assessment tools for distinguishing patients becoming severely ill after initial diagnosis. Hence, this study aimed to develop a simple clinical risk nomogram predicting oxygenation risk in patients with COVID-19 at the first triage.
    Methods: This retrospective study involved a chart review of the medical records of 84 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 between February 2020 and March 2021 at ten medical facilities. The patients were divided into requiring no oxygen therapy (non-severe group) and requiring oxygen therapy (severe group). Patient characteristics were compared between the two groups. We utilized univariate logistic regression analysis to confirm determinants of high risks of requiring oxygen therapy in patients with moderate COVID-19.
    Results: Thirty-five patients ware in severe group and forty-nine patients were in non-severe group. In comparison with patients in the non-severe group, patients in the severe group were significantly older with higher body mass index (BMI), and had a history of hypertension and diabetes. Serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN), lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were significantly higher in the severe group. Multivariate analysis showed that older age, higher BMI, and higher BUN levels were significantly associated with oxygen requirements.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrated that age, BMI, and BUN were independent risk factors in the moderate-to-severe COVID-19 group. Elderly patients with higher BMI and BUN require close monitoring and early treatment initiation.

    Abstract It is not clear whether pembrolizumab monotherapy (MONO) or pembrolizumab plus platinum-based chemotherapy (COMB) should be selected for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exhibiting high PD-L1 expression (tumor proportion score ≥ 50%). We performed a retrospective, multicenter study of 300 patients with NSCLC exhibiting high PD-L1 expression who received MONO or COMB as first-line treatment between December 2018 and January 2020. We reviewed the medical records of all consecutive patients with no driver mutations, and assessed the patient characteristics, therapeutic regimens, treatment periods, and adverse events. In total, 166 (55%; median age: 74 years) and 134 (45%; median age: 68 years) patients received MONO and COMB, respectively. Patients were younger and had better performance status (0-1) in the COMB group (p < 0.01). With a median follow-up time of 10.6 (range: 0.1-20.6) months, the median progression-free survival was 7.1 months with MONO and 13.1 months with COMB. The objective response rate was 42.2% with MONO and 67.9% with COMB. With respect to treatment discontinuation, 36 out of 166 (21.7%) and 28 out of 134 (20.1%) patients discontinued MONO and COMB, respectively. In conclusion, COMB may be a promising option for first-line treatment for NSCLC with high PD-L1 expression and good performance status.

    Abstract Bilirubin encephalopathy (BE), which includes acute (kernicterus) and chronic (postkernicteric) forms, results from severe neonatal jaundice. In order to investigate neurodegenerative mechanisms in autopsy cases of BE, we immunohistochemically examined expressions of neurotransmitters, neuropeptides, and calcium-binding proteins in the basal ganglia; and deposition of oxidative products. Expression of tyrosine hydroxylase was reduced in the putamen in cases of acute BE, and in the globus pallidus in cases of acute and chronic postkernicteric BE. Methionine-enkephalin expression was reduced in the external segment of the globus pallidus in cases of acute and chronic postkernicteric BE, and immunoreactivity for substance P was severely altered in both internal and external segments in cases of chronic postkernicteric BE. A decrease in the number of parvalbumin-immunoreactive interneurons in the external segment of the globus pallidus was observed predominantly in cases of acute BE, whereas the number of interneurons immunoreactive for calbindin-D28K was reduced in the putamen in cases of chronic postkernicteric BE. Nuclear immunoreactivity for 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine was seen in the putamen in half of the BE cases. These findings indicated that the putamen was impaired in BE and the pallidal external segment was also damaged in the acute form of BE, suggesting that oxidative damage to DNA is implicated in lesions of the basal ganglia.

    Abstract Background: The concept of intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct (IPNB) has been proposed to be the biliary equivalent of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) of the pancreas. While the classification of IPMNs is based on their location of duct involvement, such classification has not been fully evaluated for IPNBs. The aim of this study is to investigate the value of IPNB classification based on its location.
    Methods: A total of 306 consecutive patients who underwent surgical resection with a diagnosis of bile duct tumor were enrolled. Among these patients, 21 were diagnosed as having IPNB. The IPNBs were classified into two groups as follows: extrahepatic IPNB, which located in the distal or perihilar bile duct, and intrahepatic IPNB, which located more peripherally than the hilar bile duct. The clinicopathological features of the two groups were then compared.
    Results: Extrahepatic IPNB tended to show more invasive characteristics than intrahepatic IPNB (presence of invasive component: 40.0 vs. 9.1%, p = 0.084). Moreover, patients with extrahepatic IPNB showed significantly poorer relapse-free survival (RFS) than those with intrahepatic IPNB [5-year RFS rate (%): 81.8 vs. 16.2, p = 0.014].
    Conclusion: Patients with intrahepatic IPNB show more favorable pathological characteristics and postoperative survival outcomes than those with extrahepatic IPNB.

    Abstract In epileptic patients, focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is pathologically characterized by irregular cortical lamination, blurring of the grey and white matter border and the occurrence of dysplastic cells in the cerebral cortex. Here, we report the case of a 42-year-old male showing developmental delay, transient repetition of hypoglycemic attack and cortical dysplasia, partly mimicking FCD. He had no family history of neurological disorders. He had never been able to stand independently and had always been unable to speak. He developed generalized convulsion in infancy, and then, in the absence of predisposing factors, suffered from repetitive hypoglycemic attacks between the ages of 27 and 38. Various endocrine tests, abdominal CT and brain MRI failed to demonstrate abnormalities. He died of peritonitis. At autopsy, no changes were observed in the pancreas, liver, kidneys, endocrine organs or hypothalamus. In the insular and frontal cortices, many large bizarre cells in the deep layer were observed and perivascular oligodendrocyte satellitosis was present in the adjacent white matter. Unlike FCD, the cortical lamination and the grey-white matter interface were preserved. A well-demarcated pilocytic astrocytoma was present in the brainstem. The cortical dysplasia, consisting of the diffuse occurrence of bizarre cells and the preservation of cortical lamination, is unique and has not been previously reported. Repetition of hypoglycemic attacks within a certain period is also noteworthy, although the relationship of this with the cortical dysplasia is unknown.

    Abstract To explore the pathogenesis of hepatic steatosis in severe motor and intellectual disabilities (SMID), we immunohistochemically examined the accumulation of oxidative products in 8 autopsy cases of SMID, 5 of which pathologically showed hepatic steatosis. Three of the 8 cases also demonstrated fibrosis in Glisson's sheath. Serial sections of liver were treated with monoclonal antibodies to oxidative products to proteins, lipids and nucleosides. Immunoreactivity for 4-hydroxynonenal, a marker of oxidative damage to lipids, was increased in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes in 5 cases; 2 with steatosis plus fibrosis, one with only fibrosis, and 2 with only hepatic steatosis. One case showed immunoreactivity for advanced glycation endproduct, a marker of oxidative damage to protein, in hepatocytes. There was no immunoreactivity for 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine and hexanoyl lysine, markers of oxidative damage to DNA and lipids, respectively. These findings partly mimic those observed in adult patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The results suggested the involvement of oxidative damage to lipids in the pathogenesis of hepatic steatosis and/or fibrosis in patients with SMID.
