    Abstract This review discusses the strategies of preclinical studies intended for accelerator-based (AB)-boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) clinical trials, which were presented at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Workshop on Neutron Capture Therapy held from April 20 to 22, 2022. Clinical studies of BNCT have been conducted worldwide using reactor neutron sources, with most targeting malignant brain tumors, melanoma, or head and neck cancer. Recently, small accelerator-based neutron sources that can be installed in hospitals have been developed. AB-BNCT clinical trials for recurrent malignant glioma, head and neck cancers, high-grade meningioma, melanoma, and angiosarcoma have all been conducted in Japan. The necessary methods, equipment, and facilities for preclinical studies to evaluate the biological effects of AB-BNCT systems in terms of safety and efficacy are described, with reference to two examples from Japan. The first is the National Cancer Center, which is equipped with a vertical downward neutron beam, and the other is the University of Tsukuba, which has a horizontal neutron beam. The preclinical studies discussed include cell-based assays to evaluate cytotoxicity and genotoxicity,

    Abstract In this paper, we discuss the role of particle therapy-a novel radiation therapy (RT) that has shown rapid progress and widespread use in recent years-in multidisciplinary treatment. Three types of particle therapies are currently used for cancer treatment: proton beam therapy (PBT), carbon-ion beam therapy (CIBT), and boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). PBT and CIBT have been reported to have excellent therapeutic results owing to the physical characteristics of their Bragg peaks. Variable drug therapies, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy, are combined in various treatment strategies, and treatment effects have been improved. BNCT has a high dose concentration for cancer in terms of nuclear reactions with boron. BNCT is a next-generation RT that can achieve cancer cell-selective therapeutic effects, and its effectiveness strongly depends on the selective

    Abstract This study aims to propose a new treatment model for glioblastoma (GBM). The combination of chemotherapy, molecular targeted therapy and radiotherapy has been achieved in a highly simultaneous manner through the application of a safe, non-toxic, locally sustained drug-releasing composite Nanofiber mesh (NFM). The NFM consisted of biodegradable poly(ε-caprolactone) with temozolomide (TMZ) and 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17AAG), which was used in radiation treatment. TMZ and 17AAG combination showed a synergistic cytotoxicity effect in the T98G cell model. TMZ and 17AAG induced a radiation-sensitization effect, respectively. The NFM containing 17AAG or TMZ, known as 17AAG-NFM and TMZ-NFM, enabled cumulative drug release of 34.1% and 39.7% within 35 days. Moreover, 17AAG+TMZ-NFM containing both drugs revealed a synergistic effect in relation to the NFM of a single agent. When combined with radiation, 17AAG+TMZ-NFM induced in an extremely powerful cytotoxic effect. These results confirmed the application of NFM can simultaneously allow multiple treatments to T98G cells. Each modality achieved a significant synergistic effect with the other, leading to a cascading amplification of the therapeutic effect. Due to the superior advantage of sustained drug release over a long period of time, NFM has the promise of clinically addressing the challenge of high recurrence of GBM post-operatively.

    Abstract Case 1 (42-year-old man) : The patient was examined for penoscrotal swelling that had continued for 1 month. An annular erosive skin ulcer was observed at the penoscrotal base, with distal swelling. Asking the patient about the history of his condition was difficult due to a history of mental illness. We suspected his symptoms were due to an embedded foreign object. As computed tomography indicated the presence of a subcutaneous foreign object, surgery was performed to remove it. A rubber band was found wrapped twice around the area. After releasing the strangulation, penoscrotal swelling improved. Case 2 (72-year-old man) : Penoscrotal swelling appeared after having an automobile tow hook attached to the penoscrotal base for 2 weeks. The patient was examined at the emergency room because he could not remove it on his own. A rescue squad was called, and they cut the strangulating object with an electric saw. After releasing the strangulation, penoscrotal swelling improved. Although we experienced 2 cases of penoscrotal strangulation involving strangulating objects with different characteristics, improvement was achieved in both by releasing the strangulation. The cases of penoscrotal strangulation reported in Japan with known strangulation type are reviewed.

    Abstract Aichi Prefecture, which has a dense industrial area, is one of the sites in Japan where the levels of zinc are elevated. However, currently, there is no clear evidence of the source of zinc in this prefecture. This study aims to assess zinc concentration and load in a river and identify the main sources of zinc pollution. We conducted a 20‐month survey to identify the temporal and spatial variation of zinc in river water, particularly in the Aizumame River. Using Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, the total fraction of zinc concentrations was determined for nine sampling stations (five points in the mainstream and four points in the tributaries). The results show that the average of zinc concentration was lower during the irrigation period than in the non‐irrigation period. However, the load during the irrigation period was higher. During irrigation, the river discharges were higher resulting in a lower concentration. The highest zinc concentration was 0.139 mg/L in June 2017. Based on this study, the main zinc source was identified from industrial areas which on average contributed about 3,400 g/day into the mainstream. These results became more evident during the non‐irrigation period when only industrial discharges contributed zinc load into the mainstream.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Worsening lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are a frequent adverse event following proton beam therapy (PBT) for localized prostate cancer. We investigated the differences in worsening LUTS among patients who received PBT at different times of day.
    Participants and methods: Among 173 patients who underwent PBT for prostate cancer, 168 patients (median age 68.5 years) completed international prostate symptom score (IPSS) questionnaires and were included. Changes in the IPSS from baseline to the end of PBT were assessed by multiple linear regression analysis for age, National Comprehensive Cancer Network risk classification, androgen deprivation therapy, fractional PBT dose, clinical target volume, severity of IPSS, diabetes, LUTS medication use before PBT, anti-coagulant therapy and radiation time of day (morning (08:30-10:30), around noon (10:31-14:30), and late afternoon (14:31-16:30)).
    Results: IPSS total score and IPSS-Quality of Life (QoL) score (12 patients were excluded due to missing IPSS-QoL score) increased from eight to 14.9 (
    Conclusions: Morning PBT for localized prostate cancer significantly ameliorated worsening LUTS and improved QoL compared with treatment around noon or late afternoon. Chronoradiation therapy for localized prostate cancer may be effective and further research to elucidate the underlying mechanism is warranted.
