    Abstract We conducted a multi-institutional retrospective study in 100 transplant-ineligible (TI) patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that relapsed or progressed after first-line R-CHOP (or -like) therapy to develop a robust predictive model for TI relapsed/refractory (r/r) DLBCL, which has a heterogeneous but poor prognosis by currently available treatment modalities other than chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy or bispecific antibodies. The median age at relapse or progression was 76 years. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from the first progression were 11.5 months and 21.9 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified low lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), elevated high lactate dehydrogenase, and elevated C-reactive protein at progression as independent predictors of OS. A predictive model based on these three factors, here designated as the Kyoto Prognostic Index for r/r DLBCL (KPI-R), successfully stratified their OS and PFS with statistical significance. In addition, event-free survival less than 24 months for R-CHOP and low LMR were identified as significant predictive factors for non-response in any sequence of salvage therapy. We concluded that LMR is a bonafide predictor of treatment response and prognosis in patients with TI r/r DLBCL, and may be helpful in treatment decision-making.

    Abstract Despite being perennially frigid, polar oceans form an ecosystem hosting high and unique biodiversity. Various organisms show different adaptive strategies in this habitat, but how viruses adapt to this environment is largely unknown. Viruses of phyla Nucleocytoviricota and Mirusviricota are groups of eukaryote-infecting large and giant DNA viruses with genomes encoding a variety of functions. Here, by leveraging the Global Ocean Eukaryotic Viral database, we investigate the biogeography and functional repertoire of these viruses at a global scale. We first confirm the existence of an ecological barrier that clearly separates polar and nonpolar viral communities, and then demonstrate that temperature drives dramatic changes in the virus-host network at the polar-nonpolar boundary. Ancestral niche reconstruction suggests that adaptation of these viruses to polar conditions has occurred repeatedly over the course of evolution, with polar-adapted viruses in the modern ocean being scattered across their phylogeny. Numerous viral genes are specifically associated with polar adaptation, although most of their homologues are not identified as polar-adaptive genes in eukaryotes. These results suggest that giant viruses adapt to cold environments by changing their functional repertoire, and this viral evolutionary strategy is distinct from the polar adaptation strategy of their hosts.

    Abstract A large number of accidental virus infections occur in medical and non-medical workers exposed to infectious individuals and materials. We evaluated whether postmortem blood and bloodstains containing hepatitis B virus (HBV) are infectious. HBV-infected blood and bloodstains were stored for up to 60 days at room temperature and subsequently screened for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and HBV DNA. In addition, HBV-positive postmortem blood was added to a cell line and the production of HBV virions was examined over a period of 7 days. HBsAg and HBV DNA were detected in all samples stored for 60 days at room temperature. HBV-positive postmortem blood successfully infected the cell line and progeny viruses were produced for up to 6 days. Thus, it is crucial that due care is taken when handling not only living material infected with HBV, as well as other harmful viruses, but also blood or body fluids from cadavers or medical waste.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs), rituximab (RIT), and obinutuzumab (OBZ) are the central components of immunochemotherapy for B-cell lymphoma (BCL). However, these agents potentially cause B-cell depletion, resulting in the impairment of antibody (Ab) production. During the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, the optimal prediction of Ab response against anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is critically important in patients with BCL treated by B-cell depletion therapeutics to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
    Patients and methods:  We investigated the effect of using RIT and/or OBZ on the Ab response in 131 patients with various types of BCL who received the second SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine either after, during, or before immunochemotherapy containing B-cell-depleting moiety between June and November 2021 at seven institutes belonging to the Kyoto Clinical Hematology Study Group. The SARS-Cov-2 neutralizing Ab (nAb) was measured from 14 to 207 days after the second vaccination dose using the iFlash3000 automatic analyzer and the iFlash-2019-nCoV Nab kit.
    Results: Among 86 patients who received the vaccine within 12 months after B-cell depletion therapy, 8 (9.3%) were seropositive. In 30 patients who received the vaccine after 12 months from B-cell depletion therapy, 22 (73%) were seropositive. In 15 patients who were subjected to B-cell depletion therapy after vaccination, 2 (13%) were seropositive. The multivariate analysis indicated that an interval of 12 months between B-cell depletion therapy and the subsequent vaccination was significantly associated with effective Ab production. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis identified the optimal threshold period after anti-CD20 MoAb treatment, which determines the seropositivity against SARS-CoV-2, to be 342 days.
    Conclusion: The use of anti-CD20 MoAb within 12 months before vaccination is a critical risk for poor Ab response against anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with BCL.

    Abstract Satellite remote sensing is a powerful tool to monitor the global dynamics of marine plankton. Previous research has focused on developing models to predict the size or taxonomic groups of phytoplankton. Here, we present an approach to identify community types from a global plankton network that includes phytoplankton and heterotrophic protists and to predict their biogeography using global satellite observations. Six plankton community types were identified from a co-occurrence network inferred using a novel rDNA 18 S V4 planetary-scale eukaryotic metabarcoding dataset. Machine learning techniques were then applied to construct a model that predicted these community types from satellite data. The model showed an overall 67% accuracy in the prediction of the community types. The prediction using 17 satellite-derived parameters showed better performance than that using only temperature and/or the concentration of chlorophyll a. The constructed model predicted the global spatiotemporal distribution of community types over 19 years. The predicted distributions exhibited strong seasonal changes in community types in the subarctic-subtropical boundary regions, which were consistent with previous field observations. The model also identified the long-term trends in the distribution of community types, which suggested responses to ocean warming.

    Abstract Azacitidine (AZA) has been one of the standard treatments for transplantation-ineligible patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS); however, hematological toxicities frequently cause treatment interruption in the early phase of the therapy. The present study conducted a multicenter retrospective study to investigate the prognostic impacts of various factors, including factors included in the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) and severe cytopenia in the early phase of AZA monotherapy in 212 patients with MDS. Severe cytopenia was evaluated after the initiation of therapy by absolute neutrophil counts on the 29th day after AZA (ANC29) initiation, and red cell concentrates (RCC) and platelet concentrate (PC) transfusion units required within 28 days from the start of AZA, designated in the present study as RCC28 and PC28, respectively. The survival period was determined from the 29th day of AZA treatment to death from any cause as the conditional survival period after the first cycle of AZA (CS-AZA1). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that severe thrombocytopenia defined by >30 units of PC28 and very poor risk cytogenetics according to IPSS-R were independent prognostic factors for CS-AZA1. The Kyoto Conditional Survival Scoring System was subsequently developed by incorporating severe thrombocytopenia defined by PC28 and very poor risk cytogenetics, which successfully stratified the risks of the patients in CS-AZA1. In conclusion, extreme PC transfusion dependency during the first cycle of AZA and very poor risk cytogenetics are important prognostic factors in AZA monotherapy for MDS.
