    Abstract Mice with endothelial-cell-specific overexpression of C-type natriuretic peptide (E-CNP Tg mice) were shown to be protected against hepatic fibrosis and inflammation induced by high fat diet (HFD) feeding, with improved insulin sensitivity and attenuated weight gain. A recently developed high-fat, high-fructose, high-cholesterol diet (HFFCD) is considered to be a superior model to HFD, owing to the resemblance to human non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In this study, we therefore aimed to reveal whether these previous findings with E-CNP Tg mice on HFD can be observed in a newly developed NASH model. Patients with NASH have been suggested to be at higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease, so we also assessed the kidney histology of these mice. After 8 months of HFFCD feeding, the livers of E-CNP Tg mice and controls showed progressive fibrosis, which resembled the features of human NASH. However, no significant differences were observed in NAFLD activity scores between E-CNP Tg mice and controls, although there was a tendency for improvement in E-CNP Tg mice. The reduced levels of GCB, a receptor for CNP, may have weakened the action of CNP in the current model. In the kidneys, HFFCD showed glomerular hypertrophy and tubular atrophy in the cortical region, which were suppressed in E-CNP Tg mice. The present study did not prove the therapeutic effect of CNP on NASH in the HFFCD model, but provided evidence of its potential beneficial effects on NASH-associated renal damage.

    Abstract This study entailed the successful deployment of a novel neutron interferometer that utilizes multilayer mirrors. The apparatus facilitates a precise evaluation of the wavelength dependence of interference fringes utilizing a pulsed neutron source. Our interferometer achieved an impressive precision of 0.02 rad within a 20-min recording time. Compared to systems using silicon crystals, the measurement sensitivity was maintained even when using a simplified disturbance suppressor. By segregating beam paths entirely, we achieved successful measurements of neutron-nuclear scattering lengths across various samples. The values measured for Si, Al, and Ti were in agreement with those found in the literature, while V showed a disparity of 45%. This discrepancy may be attributable to impurities encountered in previous investigations. The accuracy of measurements can be enhanced further by mitigating systematic uncertainties that are associated with neutron wavelength, sample impurity, and thickness. This novel neutron interferometer enables us to measure fundamental parameters, such as the neutron-nuclear scattering length of materials, with a precision that surpasses that of conventional interferometers.

    Abstract Severe idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is thought to occur in approximately one in 10,000 pregnancies and refractoriness for conventional treatment is life-threatening. We herein describe a pregnant case of refractory ITP successfully treated with eltrombopag, orally medicated thrombopoietin receptor agonist (TPO-RA). The patient was diagnosed with ITP at the age of 22 and corticosteroid, immune globulin treatments, or splenectomy was invalid. Eltrombopag was administered at 25 mg/day and the platelet count was maintained at 50-80 × 10

    Abstract Salvage human leukocyte antigen-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplant using posttransplant cyclophosphamide has shown promising results for graft failure in various hematological disorders. However, to our knowledge, no such findings have been reported for a case of chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection, although graft failure is relatively common in patients with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection. We report a case of a 32-year-old woman with natural killer-cell type chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection who experienced graft failure after a first allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant from an unrelated human leukocyte antigen-matched donor.The patientreceived a second allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant with human leukocyte antigen-haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplant using posttransplant cyclophosphamide (cyclophosphamide, 50 mg/kg, on day 3 and day 4) following reduced-intensity conditioning as rescue therapy. Neutrophils successfully engrafted on day 19, and the patient sustained remission without severe transplant-related complication 10 months after salvage human leukocyte antigen- haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplant using posttransplant cyclophosphamide. This report suggests that salvage human leukocyte antigen- haploidentical hematopoietic cell transplant using posttransplant cyclophosphamide may be a feasible therapeutic option for graft failure in patients with chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection.

    Abstract Purpose: To assess the usefulness of amide proton transfer (APT) imaging to predict the biological status of breast cancers.
    Method: Sixty-six patients (age range 31-85 years, mean 58.9 years) with histopathologically proven invasive ductal carcinomas of 2 cm or larger in diameter were included in this study. 3D APT weighted imaging was conducted on a 3 T scanner. Mean APT signal intensity (SI) was analyzed in relation to biological subtypes, Ki-67 labeling index, and nuclear grades (NGs).
    Results: The triple-negative (TN) cancers (n = 10; 2.75 ± 0.42%) showed significantly higher APT SI than the luminal type cancers (n = 48; 1.74 ± 0.83) and HER2 cancers (n = 8; 1.83 ± 0.21) (P = 0.0007, 0.03). APT SI had weakly positive correlation with the Ki-67 labeling index (r = 0.38, P = 0.002). The mean APT SIs were significantly higher for high-Ki-67 (>30%) (n = 31; 2.25 ± 0.70) than low-Ki-67 (≤30%) cancers (n = 35; 1.60 ± 0.79) (P = 0.0007). There was no significant difference in the APT SIs between NG 1-2 (n = 31; 1.71 ± 0.84) and NG 3 (n = 35; 2.08 ± 0.76%) cancers (P = 0.06).
    Conclusions: TN and high-Ki-67 breast cancers showed high APT SIs. APT imaging can help to predict the biological status of breast cancers.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of virtual monochromatic spectral computed tomography imaging (VMI) in the preoperative evaluation for intraductal spread of breast cancer.
    Materials and methods: Twenty-four women who underwent spectral CT and were pathologically diagnosed with ductal carcinoma with a ≥ 2-cm noninvasive component were retrospectively enrolled in Group 1. Twenty-two women with 22 lesions pathologically diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ or microinvasive carcinoma were enrolled in Group 2. We compared the contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) of the lesions on conventional 120-kVp CT images and 40-keV VMIs in Group 1. Two board-certified radiologists measured the maximum diameters of enhancing areas on 120-kVp CT, 40-keV VMI, and MRI in Group 2 and compared with histopathological sizes.
    Results: The quantitative assessment of Group 1 revealed that the mean ± SD of the CNRs in the 40-keV images were significantly greater than those in the 120-kVp images (5.5 ± 1.9 vs. 3.6 ± 1.5, p < 0.0001). The quantitative assessment of Group 2 demonstrated that the lesion size observed in the conventional 120-kVp CT images by both readers was significantly underestimated as compared to the histopathological size (p = 0.017, 0.048), whereas both readers identified no significant differences between the lesion size measured on 40-keV VMI and the histopathological data. In a comparison with MRI, 40-keV VMI provided measurement within a 10-mm error range in more lesions as compared to the conventional 120-kVp CT.
    Conclusion: VMI improves the evaluation of intraductal spread and is useful for the preoperative evaluations of breast cancer.
