    Abstract Background: We have previously reported apolipoprotein A2-isoforms (apoA2-is) as candidate plasma biomarkers for early-stage pancreatic cancer. The aim of this study was the clinical development of apoA2-is.
    Methods: We established a new enzyme-linked immunosorbent sandwich assay for apoA2-is under the Japanese medical device Quality Management System requirements and performed in vitro diagnostic tests with prespecified end points using 2732 plasma samples. The clinical equivalence and significance of apoA2-is were compared with CA19-9.
    Results: The point estimate of the area under the curve to distinguish between pancreatic cancer (n = 106) and healthy controls (n = 106) was higher for apoA2-ATQ/AT [0.879, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.832-0.925] than for CA19-9 (0.849, 95% CI 0.793-0.905) and achieved the primary end point. The cutoff apoA2-ATQ/AT of 59.5 μg/mL was defined based on a specificity of 95% in 2000 healthy samples, and the reliability of specificities was confirmed in two independent healthy cohorts as 95.3% (n = 106, 95% CI 89.4-98.0%) and 95.8% (n = 400, 95% CI 93.3-97.3%). The sensitivities of apoA2-ATQ/AT for detecting both stage I (47.4%) and I/II (50%) pancreatic cancers were higher than those of CA19-9 (36.8% and 46.7%, respectively). The combination of apoA2-ATQ/AT (cutoff, 59.5 μg/mL) and CA19-9 (37 U/mL) increased the sensitivity for pancreatic cancer to 87.7% compared with 69.8% for CA19-9 alone. The clinical performance of apoA2-is was blindly confirmed by the National Cancer Institute Early Detection Research Network.
    Conclusions: The clinical performance of ApoA2-ATQ/AT as a blood biomarker is equivalent to or better than that of CA19-9.

    Abstract Background: The p53 family p63 is essential for the proliferation and differentiation of various epithelial basal cells. It is overexpressed in several cancers, including salivary gland neoplasia. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are thought to play a crucial role in carcinogenesis, and HDAC inhibitors downregulate p63 expression in cancers.
    Methods: In the present study, to investigate the roles and regulation of p63 in salivary duct adenocarcinoma (SDC), human SDC cell line A253 was transfected with siRNA-p63 or treated with the HDAC inhibitors trichostatin A (TSA) and quisinostat (JNJ-26481585).
    Results: In a DNA array, the knockdown of p63 markedly induced mRNAs of the tight junction (TJ) proteins cingulin (CGN) and zonula occuludin-3 (ZO-3). The knockdown of p63 resulted in the recruitment of the TJ proteins, the angulin-1/lipolysis-stimulated lipoprotein receptor (LSR), occludin (OCLN), CGN, and ZO-3 at the membranes, preventing cell proliferation, and leading to increased cell metabolism. Treatment with HDAC inhibitors downregulated the expression of p63, induced TJ structures, recruited the TJ proteins, increased the epithelial barrier function, and prevented cell proliferation and migration.
    Conclusions: p63 is not only a diagnostic marker of salivary gland neoplasia, but it also promotes the malignancy. Inhibition of HDAC and signal transduction pathways is, therefore, useful in therapy for p63-positive SDC cells.

    Abstract Background/aim: Tracheostomy performed on patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to the infection of operators and medical staff. To date, there are no established methods of infection control. The aim of this study was to provide helpful and useful information regarding tracheostomy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Patients and methods: We performed a retrospective analysis on 12 patients with severe COVID-19 who were intubated and underwent tracheostomy in our hospital.
    Results: Percutaneous tracheostomy was performed in eight cases, and open tracheostomy was performed in four cases. Open tracheostomy in the operating room was performed under a negative pressure closed-space system using a surgical drape to prevent aerosolization.
    Conclusion: Our experience suggests that bedside percutaneous tracheostomy may be a useful option in patients with COVID-19. In cases where percutaneous tracheostomy is anticipated to be difficult, open tracheostomy using a negative pressure closure may be useful in preventing aerosolization and reducing the risk of infection of healthcare workers.

    Abstract Background/aim: To analyze the clinical features and prevalence of synchronous and metachronous second primary malignancies (SPMs) in patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HSCC), their associated risk factors, and cause-specific mortality.
    Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 136 patients treated with curative intent at our hospital. Statistical analyses were performed to determine factors predictive of SPM and cause-specific mortality.
    Results: Sixty-three of 136 patients (46.3%) developed SPM; of these, 41 (30.1%) and 42 (30.9%) had synchronous and metachronous SPMs, respectively, with patient overlap. The most common site of synchronous and metachronous SPMs was the oesophagus (65.8% and 24.4%, respectively); the corresponding overall survival rates were 34.1% and 66.5%, respectively. Furthermore, heavy drinking was significantly correlated with synchronous SPM (p<0.001).
    Conclusion: Oesophageal cancer surveillance is recommended for patients with HSCC, especially heavy drinkers. Our findings may help identify and properly manage HSCC patients at high risk of SPMs.

    Abstract Background: The CXCL12/CXCR4 axis plays a pivotal role in the progression of various malignancies, including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In this study, we aimed to clarify the biological and clinical significance of CXCL12 in the tumor microenvironment of OSCCs.
    Methods: Publicly available single-cell RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) datasets were used to analyze CXCL12 expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). Immunohistochemical analysis of CXCL12, α-smooth muscle antigen (α-SMA), fibroblast activation protein (FAP) and CD8 was performed in a series of 47 surgically resected primary tongue OSCCs. Human skeletal muscle cells were co-cultured with or without OSCC cells, after which CXCL12 expression was analyzed using quantitative reverse-transcription PCR.
    Results: Analysis of the RNA-seq data suggested CXCL12 is abundantly expressed in stromal cells within HNSCC tissue. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that in grade 1 primary OSCCs, CXCL12 is expressed in both tumor cells and muscle cells. By contrast, grade 3 tumors were characterized by disruption of muscle structure and reduced CXCL12 expression. Quantitative analysis of CXCL12-positive areas within tumors revealed that reduced CXCL12 expression correlated with poorer overall survival. Levels of CXCL12 expression tended to inversely correlate α-SMA expression and positively correlate with infiltration by CD8+ lymphocytes, though these relations did not reach statistical significance. CXCL12 was significantly upregulated in muscle cells co-cultured with OSCC cells.
    Conclusion: Our results suggest that tongue OSCC cells activate CXCL12 expression in muscle cells, which may contribute to tumor progression. However, CXCL12 is reduced in advanced OSCCs due to muscle tissue destruction.

    Abstract In human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the invasion and metastatic properties of cancer cells are promoted by junctional adhesion molecule‑A (JAM‑A) and claudin‑1; these are epithelial tight junction molecules regulated by histone deacetylases (HDACs) and transcription factor p63. HDAC expression is reportedly upregulated in HNSCC, and HDAC inhibitors suppress cancer cell proliferation by initiating proliferative arrest or apoptosis. However, little is known of the anti‑cancer mechanisms of HDAC inhibitors in HNSCC. Thus, in the present study, the HNSCC Detroit 562 cell line and primary cultured HNSCC cells were treated with HDAC inhibitors to investigate their effects in HNSCC. Higher expression of p63, HDAC1, JAM‑A and claudin‑1 was observed in HNSCC tissues compared with the adjacent dysplastic regions. In Detroit 562 cells, treatment with trichostatin A (TSA), an inhibitor of HDAC1 and 6, downregulated the expression of p63, JAM‑A and claudin‑1, and upregulated that of acetylated tubulin; conversely, p63 knockdown resulted in the downregulation of JAM‑A and claudin‑1. Collectively, inhibiting HDAC suppressed the migration and invasiveness of cancer cells. In addition, treatment with TSA suppressed cancer cell proliferation via G

    Abstract Anaplastic thyroid cancer is a fatal disease for which no effective therapeutic strategies exist. Lenvatinib, a tyrosine-kinase inhibitor that targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, has recently been approved in Japan for the treatment of patients with unresectable thyroid cancer including anaplastic thyroid cancer. Although lenvatinib, like the other tyrosine-kinase inhibitors, sunitinib and sorafenib, might also confer a risk of bleeding, fatal bleeding as a result of lenvatinib treatment for anaplastic thyroid cancer has not been described. A 61-year-old woman presented with a 7-cm mass in the right lobe of the thyroid, lymph node metastases to the neck and multiple lung metastases. Fine needle aspiration revealed that the tumor was anaplastic thyroid cancer. The TNM classification was T4aN1bM1, stage IVC. Shortly after local curative surgery, a tumor recurred in her neck that was treated with lenvatinib (24 mg/day). Nineteen days later, the common carotid artery ruptured and the lenvatinib was stopped. She received the best possible supportive care but died 40 days after stopping the lenvatinib. Autopsy findings showed that the tumor had invaded the adventitia of the common carotid artery at the region of the neck surgery, and an aneurysm had developed. However, the adventitia of the common carotid artery was preserved at the non-dissected area. Lenvatinib might confer risk for fatal bleeding in patients with recurrent anaplastic thyroid cancer after neck surgery, particularly with dissection around the common carotid artery.

    Abstract Thyroid cancer is a disease that affects 8,000 new individuals a year, a number that has increased approximately 3-fold in the past 30 years. The increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer can be related to various factors. The evolution of diagnostic technology has distinctly occurred in the fields of diagnostic imaging, cytology and immunochemistry. For example, liquid-based cytology, developed to assess gynecological lesions, has improved diagnostic accuracy over conventional smear cytology. This technique can also be positively applied to cytological analyses of thyroid cancer. In the field of tumor biomarkers, thyroglobulin and trefoil factor-1 are well known and useful. On the other hand, a new specific biomarker of thyroid cancer has been developed. Furthermore, definitive diagnosis of follicular thyroid tumors is extremely difficult or impossible with current tumor biomarkers and cytological methods. Although the standard treatment for thyroid cancer is a basic surgical resection, iodine adjuvant therapy after surgery is a well-known treatment. Here we present a treatment strategy for thyroid cancer according to the statistics obtained at our facility.
