    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to compare the radiological tumor (T)-category using multiparametric MRI with the pathological T category in patients with oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) and to examine which is a better predictor of prognosis.
    Methods: This retrospective study included 110 consecutive patients with surgically resected primary OTSCC who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced MRI. T categories determined by maximum diameter and depth of invasion were retrospectively assessed based on the pathological specimen and multiparametric MRI. The MRI assessment included the axial and coronal T1-weighted image (T1WI), axial T2-weighted image (T2WI), coronal fat-suppressed T2WI, and axial and coronal fat-suppressed contrast-enhanced T1WI (CET1WI). Axial and coronal CET1WI measurements were divided into two groups: measurements excluding peritumoral enhancement (MEP) and measurements including peritumoral enhancement. The prognostic values for recurrence and disease-specific survival after radiological and pathological T categorization of cases into T1/T2 and T3/T4 groups were compared.
    Results: The T category of MEP on coronal CET1WI was the most relevant prognostic factor for recurrence [hazard ratio (HR) = 3.30, p = 0.001] and the HR was higher than the HR for pathological assessment (HR = 2.26, p = 0.026). The T category determined by MEP on coronal CET1WI was also the most relevant prognostic factor for disease-specific survival (HR = 3.12, p = 0.03), and the HR was higher than the HR for pathological assessment (HR = 2.02, p = 0.20).
    Conclusion: The T category determined by MEP on the coronal CET1WI was the best prognostic factor among all radiological and pathological T category measurements.

The clinical symptoms included microcephaly, brachygnathia, central and peripheral hypotonia, and developmental delay (non-verbal), among others. On comparison with published literature, even patients with the same mutation present different clinical symptoms.
    Abstract: This case report presents a child with PURA-related neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by the heterozygous pathogenic variant c.175C>T (p.Gln59*), whose symptoms included microcephaly, brachygnathia, the development of a high anterior hairline, hip dysplasia, strabismus, severe hypotonia, developmental delay (non-meaningful verbal), feeding difficulties, and respiratory difficulties. His development ceased with age, such that his development at 10 years corresponded to an infant of 6 months. Moreover, even patients with the same variant can have different clinical symptoms, such as the presence or absence of epilepsy or congenital malformations. Therefore, we should follow his long-term clinical course and provide medical support as necessary.

    Abstract Interactions between programmed death 1 (PD-1) and PD-ligand 1 (PD-L1) cause functional exhaustion of T cells by inducing inhibitory signals, thereby attenuating effector functions of T cells. We have developed an anti-bovine PD-L1 blocking antibody (Ab) and have demonstrated that blockade of the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 reactivates T-cell responses in cattle. In the present study, we examined the potential utility of PD-1/PD-L1-targeted immunotherapy in enhancing T-cell responses to vaccination. Calves were inoculated with a hexavalent live-attenuated viral vaccine against bovine respiratory infections in combination with treatment with an anti-PD-L1 Ab. The expression kinetics of PD-1 in T cells and T-cell responses to viral antigens were measured before and after vaccination to evaluate the adjuvant effect of anti-PD-L1 Ab. PD-1 expression was upregulated in vaccinated calves after the administration of a booster vaccination. The activation status of CD4

    Abstract Background: MRI relaxometry mapping and proton density fat fraction (PDFF) have been proposed for the evaluation of hepatic fibrosis. However, sex-specific relationships of age and body fat with these MRI parameters have not been studied in detail among adults without clinically manifest hepatic disease. We aimed to determine the sex-specific correlation of multiparametric MRI parameters with age and body fat and to evaluate their interplay associations.
    Methods: 147 study participants (84 women, mean age 48±14 years, range 19-85 years) were prospectively enrolled. 3 T MRI including T1, T2 and T1ρ mapping and PDFF and R2* map were acquired. Visceral and subcutaneous fat were measured on the fat images from Dixon water-fat separation sequence.
    Results: All MRI parameters demonstrated sex difference except for T1ρ. PDFF was more related to visceral than subcutaneous fat. Per 100 ml gain of visceral or subcutaneous fat is associated with 1 or 0.4% accretion of liver fat, respectively. PDFF and R2* were higher in men (both P = 0.01) while T1 and T2 were higher in women (both P < 0.01). R2* was positively but T1 and T2 were negatively associated with age in women (all P < 0.01), while T1ρ was positively related to age in men (P < 0.05). In all studies, R2* was positively and T1ρ was negatively associated with PDFF (both P <0.0001).
    Conclusion: Visceral fat plays an essential role in the elevated liver fat. When using MRI parametric measures for liver disease evaluation, the interplay between these parameters should be considered.

    Abstract In order to identify genomic biomarkers for the outcome of mogamulizumab-containing treatment, an integrated molecular analysis of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) was conducted on 64 mogamulizumab-naïve patients. Among driver genes, CCR4 and CCR7 alterations were observed in 22% and 11% of the patients, respectively, both consisting of single nucleotide variants (SNV)/insertion-deletions (indels) in the C-terminus. Patients with CCR4 alterations or without CCR7 alterations exhibited a more favorable clinical response (complete response [CR] rate 93%, 13/14; P=0.024, and CR rate 71%, 40/56; P=0.036, respectively). Additionally, TP53, CD28, and CD274 alterations were identified in 35%, 16%, and 10% of the patients, respectively. TP53 alterations included SNV/indels or copy number variations (CNV) such as homozygous deletion; CD28 alterations included SNV, CNV such as amplification, or fusion; CD274 alterations included CNV such as amplification, or structural variants. Univariate analysis revealed that TP53, CD28 or CD274 alterations were associated with worse overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.330, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.183-4.589; HR: 3.191, 95% CI: 1.287- 7.911; HR: 3.301, 95% CI: 1.130-9.641, respectively) but that CCR4 alterations were associated with better OS (HR: 0.286, 95% CI: 0.087-0.933). Multivariate analysis indicated that in addition to performance status, TP53, CCR4 or CD274 alterations (HR: 2.467, 95% CI: 1.197-5.085; HR: 0.155, 95% CI: 0.031-0.778; HR: 14.393, 95% CI: 2.437-85.005, respectively) were independently and significantly associated with OS. The present study contributes to the establishment of precision medicine using mogamulizumab in ATL patients.

    Abstract The mechanisms of immunity linked to biological evolution are crucial for understanding animal morphogenesis, organogenesis, and biodiversity. The nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) family consists of five members (NFATc1-c4, 5) with different functions in the immune system. However, the evolutionary dynamics of NFATs in vertebrates has not been explored. Herein, we investigated the origin and mechanisms underlying the diversification of NFATs by comparing the gene, transcript and protein sequences, and chromosome information. We defined an ancestral origin of NFATs during the bilaterian development, dated approximately 650 million years ago, where NFAT5 and NFATc1-c4 were derived independently. The conserved parallel evolution of NFATs in multiple species was probably attributed to their innate nature. Conversely, frequent gene duplications and chromosomal rearrangements in the recently evolved taxa have suggested their roles in the adaptive immune evolution. A significant correlation was observed between the chromosome rearrangements with gene duplications and the structural fixation changes in vertebrate NFATs, suggesting their role in NFAT diversification. Remarkably, a conserved gene structure around NFAT genes with vertebrate evolutionary-related breaking points indicated the inheritance of NFATs with their neighboring genes as a unit. The close relationship between NFAT diversification and vertebrate immune evolution was suggested.

    Abstract Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T cell lymphoma (SPTCL) is a very rare cutaneous T cell lymphoma that has been reported to be associated with autoimmune disorders but is most commonly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. We herein report a 26-year-old man thought to have lupus panniculitis (LP) treated for 10 years with corticosteroids and cyclosporine. After several relapses with panniculitis, he was finally diagnosed with SPTCL, which was confirmed to have a HAVCR2 mutation for p.Tyr82Cys. We emphasize that rheumatologists should be aware of the possibility of SPTCL, despite its rare appearance, when making a diagnosis of LP or when encountering clinical manifestations that are not consistent with LP.
