    Abstract Background: Kounis syndrome (KS) is an underdiagnosed disease. The management of the disease remains elusive because of its infrequency.
    Case presentation: A 78-year-old man with anaphylactic shock was admitted to our hospital 2 h after multiple bee stings. After recovering from an anaphylactic reaction, he presented with chest pain with ST elevation. We diagnosed him with KS. After a continuous intravenous infusion of vasodilators, his chest pain and ST elevation improved. However, chest pain with ST-segment elevation recurred the next day. Coronary angiography revealed severe stenosis in the middle left anterior descending coronary artery, and drug-eluting stents were implanted. The patient was discharged on foot after treatment for heart failure.
    Conclusion: KS, in which anaphylaxis and acute coronary syndrome occur simultaneously, can recur repeatedly after an initial anaphylactic reaction; however, it could be delayed or it could present simultaneously with the anaphylactic reaction. Therefore, long-term observation is important.

    Abstract Background: The effectiveness of peer learning has been recognized and discussed by many scholars, and implemented in the formal curriculums of medical schools internationally. However, there is a general dearth of studies in measuring the objective outcomes in learning.
    Methods: We investigated the objective effect of near-peer learning on tutee's emotions and its equivalence within the formal curriculum of a clinical reasoning Problem Based Learning session in a Japanese medical school. Fourth-year medical students were assigned to the group tutored by 6
    Results: Of the 143 eligible participant students, 90 were allocated to the peer tutor group and 53 were allocated to the faculty group. There was no significant difference between the groups. The 95% confidence interval of the mean score difference for positive activating emotions (-0.22 to 0.15), positive deactivating emotions (-0.35 to 0.18), negative activating emotions (-0.20 to 0.22), negative deactivating emotions (-0.20 to 0.23), and self-efficacy (-6.83 to 5.04) were withing the predetermined equivalence margins for emotion scores, meaning that equivalence was confirmed for these variables.
    Conclusions: Emotional outcomes were equivalent between near-peer PBL sessions and faculty-led sessions. This comparative measurement of the emotional outcomes in near-peer learning contributes to understanding PBL in the field of medical education.

    Abstract Abstract Background The effectiveness of peer learning has been recognized and discussed by many scholars, and implemented in the formal curriculums of medical schools internationally. However, there is a general dearth of studies in measuring the objective outcomes in learning. Methods We investigated the objective effect of near-peer learning on tutee’s emotions and its equivalence within the formal curriculum of a clinical reasoning Problem Based Learning session in a Japanese medical school. Fourth-year medical students were assigned to the group tutored by 6th-year students or by faculties. The positive activating emotion, positive deactivating emotion, negative activating emotion, negative deactivating emotion, Neutral emotion were measured using the Japanese version of the Medical Emotion Scale (J-MES), and self-efficacy scores were also assessed. We calculated the mean differences of these variables between the faculty and the peer tutor groups and were statistically analyzed the equivalence of these scores. The equivalence margin was defined as a score of 0.4 for J-MES and 10.0 for the self-efficacy score, respectively. Results Of the 143 eligible participant students, 90 were allocated to the peer tutor group and 53 were allocated to the faculty group. There was no significant difference between the groups. The 95% confidence interval of the mean score difference for positive activating emotions (–0.22 to 0.15), positive deactivating emotions (–0.35 to 0.18), negative activating emotions (–0.20 to 0.22), negative deactivating emotions (–0.20 to 0.23), and self-efficacy (–6.83 to 5.04) were withing the predetermined equivalence margins for emotion scores, meaning that equivalence was confirmed for these variables. Conclusions Emotional outcomes were equivalent between near-peer PBL sessions and faculty-led sessions. This comparative measurement of the emotional outcomes in near-peer learning contributes to understanding PBL in the field of medical education.

    Abstract INDETERMINATE DOMAIN (IDD) proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that interact with GRAS proteins, such as DELLA and SHORT ROOT (SHR), to regulate target genes. The combination of IDD and DELLA proteins regulates genes involved in gibberellic acid (GA) synthesis and GA signaling, whereas the combination of IDD with the complex of SHR and SCARECROW, another GRAS protein, regulates genes involved in root tissue formation.

    Abstract Polymer chains at a buried interface with an inorganic solid play a critical role in the performance of polymer nanocomposites and adhesives. Sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy with a sub-nanometer depth resolution provides valuable information regarding the orientation angle of functional groups at interfaces. However, in the case of conventional SFG, since the signal intensity is proportional to the square of the second-order nonlinear optical susceptibility and thereby loses phase information, it cannot be unambiguously determined whether the functional groups face upward or downward. This problem can be solved by phase-sensitive SFG (ps-SFG). We here applied ps-SFG to poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) chains in direct contact with a quartz surface, shedding light on the local conformation of chains adsorbed onto the solid surface. The measurements made it possible to determine the absolute orientation of the ester methyl groups of PMMA, which were oriented toward the quartz interface. Combining ps-SFG with all-atomistic molecular dynamics simulation, the distribution of the local conformation and the driving force are also discussed.

    Abstract INDETERMINATE DOMAIN (IDD) proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that interact with GRAS proteins, such as DELLA and SHORT ROOT (SHR), to regulate target genes. The combination of IDD and DELLA proteins regulates genes involved in gibberellic acid (GA) synthesis and GA signaling, whereas the combination of IDD with the complex of SHR and SCARECROW, another GRAS protein, regulates genes involved in root tissue formation. Previous bioinformatic research identified seven IDDs, two DELLA, and two SHR genes in Physcomitrium patens, a model organism for non-vascular plants (bryophytes), which lack a GA signaling pathway and roots. In this study, DNA-binding properties and protein–protein interaction of IDDs from P. patens (PpIDD) were analyzed. Our results showed that the DNA-binding properties of PpIDDs were largely conserved between moss and seed plants. Four PpIDDs showed interaction with Arabidopsis DELLA (AtDELLA) proteins but not with PpDELLAs, and one PpIDD showed interaction with PpSHR but not with AtSHR. Moreover, AtIDD10 (JACKDAW) interacted with PpSHR but not with PpDELLAs. Our results indicate that DELLA proteins have modified their structure to interact with IDD proteins during evolution from moss lineage to seed plants, whereas the interaction of IDD and SHR was already present in moss lineage.

    Abstract Background/aim: Ovarian cancer diagnosed with platinum-resistant recurrence has very poor prognosis and single-agent chemotherapy with no cross-resistance to prior chemotherapy is recommended for its treatment. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of platinum rechallenge therapy for once diagnosed with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer who had a platinum-free interval (PFI) of at least 6 months.
    Patients and methods: The study included 49 patients who received platinum rechallenge therapy for ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who were once diagnosed with platinum-resistant recurrence between January 2010 and March 2021 and evaluated the efficacy and safety of this treatment. In addition, patient background factors were identified, and independent prognostic factors for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were investigated.
    Results: A complete response was noted in 7 cases, partial response in 21, stable disease in 9, and progressive disease in 10. The response and disease control rates were 55% and 76%, respectively. The median PFS and OS were 8.5 months and 35.8 months, respectively. The independent prognostic factor was PFI for OS, and there was no independent prognostic factor for PFS. Seven patients discontinued chemotherapy owing to serious adverse events, including one patient with treatment-related death.
    Conclusion: Platinum rechallenge therapy for patients with platinum-resistant recurrence did not cause previously unreported adverse events, and the adverse events were manageable. In addition, high response and disease control rates were observed, as well as long-term OS. Platinum rechallenge therapy for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer may be a viable treatment option.

    Abstract A 75-year-old woman presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and melena. Colonoscopy revealed an ulcer at the appendiceal orifice. Histopathological examination of biopsy specimens revealed adenocarcinoma. Computed tomography showed an appendiceal mass of 11.8×6.7 cm in size involving the cecum and terminal ileum without any distant metastatic findings. Ileocecal resection with regional lymph node dissection to the root of the ileocolonic artery was performed. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Molecular subtype of the tumor was BRAF V600E mutation and microsatellite instability-high(MSI-H). The pathological stage was pT4bpN1bcM0, pStage ⅢC. She received 8 courses of CapeOX as adjuvant chemotherapy and no recurrence was noted 12 months following the surgery. The establishment of standard treatment strategies including surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy for carcinoma of the appendix with BRAF V600E mutation and/or MSI-H is needed.

    Abstract Intergenerational theater activities have been recently employed in recreation for older adults. We held a series of four intergenerational theater workshops in two older adults' care facilities in Japan and sought the experiences of older participants, younger participants, and the facility managers. With a qualitatively driven mixed-methods multiple-case study design, we obtained data from field observation, interviews with participants, and preworkshop and postworkshop changes on a well-being scale (Ikigai-9) among older participants, and the results of the two sites were compared. "Immediate effects" were seen in older adults because they responded actively and demonstrated surprising faculties during the workshop. Facility staff members and younger participants received "extended effects" because they gained new ideas regarding the remaining skills of older participants and a sense of reuniting with old neighbors through the exercise. In the Ikigai-9 scale, the items measuring "present happiness" significantly improved at Site 1 but not at Site 2. Better results at Site 1 might have been caused by the lower care needs of participants and the inclusion of children. Less support from facility staff members during the activities also might have promoted the voluntary participation of older adults. Involving children and engaging the facility staff in preparation could enhance the quality of activities.
