    Abstract Vitamin D deficiency during infancy has been associated with increased bone turnover rate and bone mineral loss. However, few studies have examined bone turnover markers (BTMs) for both bone formation and resorption in infants with vitamin D deficiency. Here, we analyzed serum concentrations of 25OHD, intact parathormone (iPTH), and BTMs including total alkaline phosphatase (ALP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRACP-5b), and serum type I collagen N-telopeptide (NTx) as well as basic clinical characteristics of 456 infants (626 samples) aged less than 12 mo born at Saitama City Hospital, Japan (latitude 35.9° North) between January 2021 and December 2022. One hundred sixteen infants (147 samples) were classified as having vitamin D deficiency (25OHD < 12.0 ng/mL), and 340 infants (479 samples) had sufficient vitamin D levels (25OHD ≥ 12.0 ng/mL). In addition to 25OHD and ALP, both TRACP-5b and sNTx were measured in 331 infants (418 samples), while 90 infants (105 samples) had only TRACP-5b measured and 101 infants (103 samples) had only sNTx measured. Statistical comparison of 104 subjects each in the vitamin D deficiency and sufficiency groups after matching for the background characteristics revealed that the vitamin D deficiency group had significantly higher levels of ALP and iPTH compared with the sufficiency group (

    Abstract Aim: To compare the oncological outcomes between self-expandable metallic stent (SEMS) as a bridge to surgery and transanal decompression tube (TDT) placement for malignant large bowel obstruction (MLBO).
    Methods: A total of 287 MLBO patients who underwent SEMS (
    Results: Postoperative complications of Clavien-Dindo grade ≥II and ≥III occurred frequently in the TDT group compared with the SEMS group (
    Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that SEMS placement had no inferiority regarding long-term outcomes, including OS and DFS, compared with TDT placement. Considering the short-term benefits of SEMS placement, this could be a preferable preoperative decompression method for MLBO.

    Abstract Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are being increasingly used to treat advanced malignancies. ICI-induced pancreatic injury (ICI-PI), which is an immune-related adverse event that may be a risk factor of ICI-associated pancreatitis, is not well documented in the literature.
    Methods: Consecutive patients who received ICIs for advanced malignancies from August 2015 through October 2022 were analyzed for the incidence of ICI-PI based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events and ICI-associated pancreatitis. The imaging, clinical, and pathological findings of ICI-associated pancreatitis were also assessed.
    Results: This study enrolled 843 patients. In multivariable analyses, dual or simultaneous immunotherapy and ≥10 cycles of ICI administration were significant predictive factors for all grades of pancreatic injury, including grade ≥3. Notably, patients who received simultaneous immunotherapy exhibited a higher incidence of grade ≥3 pancreatic injuries compared with those receiving asynchronous immunotherapy in univariable analysis ( P = 0.032). One-fifth of the patients (16/70) with grade ≥3 pancreatic injuries had imaging evidence of pancreatitis similar to mild acute pancreatitis. ICI-associated pancreatitis was observed in 5.7% (48/843) of patients, including 1.8% (15/843) with moderate-to-severe pancreatitis (grade ≥2). Symptomatic cases (0.36%, 3/843) were treated with steroids with favorable outcomes. Immunohistochemistry for CD4 and CD8 revealed greater infiltration of CD8 + than CD4 + lymphocytes.
    Discussion: Simultaneous immunotherapy and dual immunotherapy are risk factors of ICI-PI. Although most patients diagnosed with ICI-PI and ICI-associated pancreatitis were asymptomatic and had a low mortality likelihood, long-term outcomes, including endocrine and exocrine function, should be carefully monitored.

    Abstract A female patient in her 50s who underwent chemotherapy for left primary breast cancer presented with cancerous pleurisy and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and liver biopsy revealed gastric and liver cancer. Distinguishing between primary and metastatic cancer by pathological findings is difficult using hematoxylin and eosin staining. We diagnosed and treated simultaneous primary breast cancer (ER-positive) and gastric cancer with liver metastasis (ER-negative), based on differences in estrogen receptor expression. The patient lived for 10 months with chemotherapy. After death, an autopsy was performed because the endoscopic results were atypical for primary gastric cancer, and additional immunohistochemical studies indicated gastric metastasis of breast cancer.

    Abstract The return to the Moon and the landing on Mars has emphasized the need for greater attention to the effects of partial gravity on human health. Here, we sought to devise a new type of simulated partial gravity apparatus that could more efficiently and accurately provide a partial gravity environment for rat hindlimbs. The new apparatus uses a pulley system and tail suspension to create the simulated partial gravity of the rat's hind limbs by varying the weight in a balance container attached to the pulley system. An experiment was designed to verify the reliability and stability of the new apparatus. In this experiment, 25 seven-week-old male Wistar Hannover rats were randomly divided into five groups (
