    Abstract In 1995, the SLAM-associated protein (SAP) gene was cloned in our laboratory, and patents were subsequently filed in the USA, EU and Canada. In 1998, the SAP gene was shown to be defective in patients with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease. Since this discovery, the gene has been demonstrated to play a significant role in viral protection, cytokine production and life-long immune memory (vaccination). This article reviews the crucial role of SAP in the development of autoimmunity.

    Abstract Some experimental studies have shown that direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) have anti-inflammatory effects. However, the interval changes in inflammatory markers in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) who receive DOACs remain unknown. Between July 2013 and April 2014, a total of 187 AF patients randomly assigned to receive rivaroxaban (n = 91) or dabigatran (n = 96) were assessed for eligibility. The levels of the following inflammatory markers were serially evaluated: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, pentraxin-3, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-18, tumor necrosis factor-α, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, growth and differentiation factor-15, and soluble thrombomodulin (sTM). The aim in this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of rivaroxaban and dabigatran in patients with AF, in addition to the impact of markers on bleeding events. Finally, 117 patients (rivaroxaban: n = 55, dabigatran: n = 62) were included in the analysis at 12 months. Although the interval changes in sTM levels tended to be greater in the dabigatran group [0.3 (0-0.7) vs. 0.5 (0-1.0) FU/ml, p = 0.061], there were no significant differences in the interval changes in any inflammatory marker between 2 groups. There were no significant differences in bleeding events between 2 groups. The interval changes in sTM levels were significantly greater in patients with bleeding compared with those without [0.8 (0.5-1.3) vs. 0.4 (- 0.1-0.8) FU/ml, p = 0.017]. There were no significant differences in the interval changes in any inflammatory marker between rivaroxaban and dabigatran treatments in patients with AF. The increased levels of sTM after DOACs treatment might be related to bleeding events.

    Abstract Bactrocera carambolae and B. dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae) are extremely destructive pests of fruits and vegetables in the Asia-Pacific region. Earlier reports have described that B. carambolae and B. dorsalis, respectively, use mainly star fruit and mango, suggesting a certain level of host partitioning which can be ascribed neither to differences in larval food qualities nor host-specific parasitoid mortality. This study specifically examined reproductive interference (antagonistic sexual interaction) between B. carambolae and B. dorsalis as a potential factor strongly affecting their host partitioning. We observed mating behaviors, especially interspecific courtships and mating, by cohabiting the conspecific and heterospecific pairs together. Consequently, we quantified their effects on the reproductive success of females. Males of both species frequently courted their own females, but they also courted females of other species. Courtship refusal by females was not selective in males of either species. This incomplete discrimination of both sexes led to frequent occurrences of interspecific sexual interactions in both species, but only B. carambolae females showed reduced reproductive success. These results suggest that B. dorsalis, superior in reproductive interference, can occupy high-quality mango, whereas B. carambolae, inferior in reproductive interference, must use low-quality star fruit.
