    Abstract Introduction: Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis is a type of severe cutaneous drug adverse reaction. While apalutamide is known for its high incidence of cutaneous adverse events, it remains unknown whether acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis can develop during apalutamide treatment.
    Case presentation: A 72-year-old man with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer developed small erythema on the face and trunk after 41 days of apalutamide treatment. Three days later, apalutamide was discontinued. However, 9 days after the discontinuation of apalutamide, the patient had a high fever with hemodynamic instability and showed diffuse erythema throughout the body with numerous small pustules. Skin biopsy revealed subcorneal and intraepidermal pustules admixed with many eosinophils, which led to the diagnosis of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis. The skin rash improved in 14 days with systemic corticosteroid administration.
    Conclusion: We present the first case of a skin rash with clinical features of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis during apalutamide treatment.

    Abstract Background: CD163 is one of the scavenger receptors that are specifically expressed on macrophages and are well known to be upregulated by various inflammatory responses, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in airway diseases.
    Objective: To evaluate the CD163 expression in the lungs of patients with fatal asthma and investigated whether CD163 contributes to the pathogenesis in asthma.
    Methods: The CD163 expressions in the lungs of patients with fatal asthma (n = 9) and in those of nonasthma control subjects (n = 8) were tested by immunohistochemistry. In mouse models of asthma, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and the numbers of airway inflammatory cells in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were analyzed in the CD163-deficient mice and the control wild-type mice.
    Results: The numbers of CD163-positive macrophages in the lung tissues were significantly increased in the all 6 patients with fatal asthma than in the control subjects. In mouse models of asthma, AHR and the numbers of infiltrating leukocytes, such as eosinophils, lymphocytes, neutrophils, and macrophages, in the BALF were significantly decreased in the CD163-deficient mice when compared with control wild-type mice. The concentrations of interferon γ and interleukin 5 in the BALF were significantly decreased in the CD163-deficient mice when compared with those in the control wild-type mice.
    Conclusion: CD163 may play important roles in airway inflammation and AHR in asthma.

    Abstract Introduction: Apalutamide-associated skin rash is a more common adverse event in the Japanese population than in the global population. However, its mechanism remains elusive, and limited histopathological information hampers further understanding.
    Case presentation: Case 1: a 71-year-old man with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer developed a skin rash after 70 days of apalutamide treatment. Case 2: a 71-year-old man with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer developed a skin rash after 71 days of apalutamide treatment. In both cases, the skin rash presented as a slightly exudative erythema. The histology showed spongiosis of the epidermis and perivascular and interstitial infiltration of lymphocytes and eosinophils in the upper dermis without necrotic keratinocytes.
    Conclusion: Apalutamide-induced skin rashes can involve an eczematous reaction clinically and histologically.

    Abstract Preoperative 3-dimensional (3D) planning using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and 3D implant-planning software is used routinely for implant placement. However, despite its importance in planning surgical technique (conventional or flapless surgery) and prognosis, the distribution of keratinized gingival tissues (KGT) and soft tissue morphology cannot be identified with CBCT or planning software images. This report introduces a technique for identifying the distribution of KGT and soft tissue morphology during preoperative 3D planning.

    Abstract Background: The role of IL-38, a new member of the IL-1 family, in airway eosinophilic inflammatory conditions such as asthma is unclear. To investigate the role of IL-38 in airway eosinophilic inflammation, an IL-38-gene deficient (KO) murine asthma model was analyzed.
    Methods: The numbers of eosinophils and neutrophils, and levels of IL-5, IL-13 and IL-17A protein and mRNA in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissue were compared between wild-type (WT) and IL-38-KO mice after OVA sensitization and challenge. The effects of additional purified recombinant mouse (rm) IL-38 protein were investigated in the IL-38-KO murine asthma model.
    Results: The IL-38 and IL-5 mRNA in WT mice was significantly higher after OVA challenge than after saline challenge (p<0.05). The number of airway eosinophils in IL-38-KO mice was significantly lower than in WT mice after OVA challenge (p<0.01). BALF analysis confirmed the lower number of airway eosinophils in IL-38-KO mice and showed that this was significantly associated with lower IL-5 protein levels (r=0.92, p<0.0001). However, the additional rm IL-38 protein did not neutralize airway eosinophilia in IL-38-KO mice.
    Conclusion: IL-38 may enhance airway eosinophilic inflammation in asthma through IL-5 induction.

    Abstract This study was conducted to examine the utility of the combined use of ascorbic acid (AsA) and radiation in clinical applications. We investigated cell survival, DNA fragmentation, and caspase activation after X-ray irradiation and AsA treatment of human leukemia HL60 cells. The number of living cells decreased after combined X-ray irradiation and AsA treatment (2 Gy + 5 mM) in comparison with that after X-ray irradiation (2 Gy) or AsA treatment (5 mM) alone. DNA fragmentation was more in the cells subjected to combined X-ray irradiation and AsA treatment than in those subjected to X-ray irradiation alone. Caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 were highly activated following combined X-ray irradiation and AsA treatment, but caspase-8 activity was not markedly increased after X-ray irradiation alone. Bax levels in the mitochondrial membrane fractions were increased after AsA treatment alone and after combined X-ray irradiation and AsA treatment. However, there was no apparent increase in the Bax levels after X-ray irradiation treatment alone. Thus, this study confirmed that supplementing X-ray irradiation with AsA treatment results in increased apoptosis in HL60 cells. With regard to the apoptosis-inducing factors, we hypothesized that Bax and caspase-8 were activated after combined X-ray irradiation and AsA treatment compared with either treatment alone.
