    Abstract Rationale: The benefits of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination are claimed to be substantial; however, vaccination-related myocarditis and pericarditis have also been observed globally, particularly among young men. In most cases, the symptoms are mild and resolve on their own; however, fatal cases have rarely been described.
    Patient concerns: A healthy 40-year-old Japanese man suddenly experienced tachycardia and lost consciousness 2 days after vaccination. Continued resuscitation recovered the spontaneous heartbeat; however, the patient did not regain consciousness and died 9 days later. Electrocardiography after resuscitation showed marked ST-segment depression and incomplete right bundle branch block. Influenza antigen and polymerase chain reaction tests for SARS-CoV-2 were negative.
    Diagnoses: Fatal arrhythmia after a second COVID-19 mRNA vaccination.
    Interventions: We performed an autopsy and studied the material morphologically and immunohistochemically.
    Outcomes: At autopsy, several small inflammatory foci with cardiomyocytic necrosis were scattered in the right and left ventricles, with a propensity for the right side. Some inflammatory foci were located near the atrioventricular nodes and His bundles. The infiltrating cells predominantly consisted of CD68-positive histiocytes, with a small number of CD8-positive and CD4-positive T cells. In this case, myocarditis was focal and mild, as is mostly observed following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. However, the inflammatory foci were close to the conduction system and were considered the cause of fatal arrhythmia.
    Lessons: Although the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination appear to outweigh the side effects, it should be noted that fatal arrhythmias may rarely occur, and caution should be taken if individuals, particularly young men, complain of any symptoms after vaccination.

    Abstract Current WHO terminology and recent publications have classified tumoral (grossly visible) intraductal pre-invasive neoplasms of bile duct (TIDN) into three categories: intraductal papillary neoplasm of bile duct (IPNB), intraductal papillary oncocytic neoplasm (IOPN), and intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasm (ITPN). A total of 227 cases of TIDN and related lesions ≥3 mm in height were examined by 10 biliary pathologists referring to these 3 categories and two pathologic gradings: two-tiered system (low- and high-grade dysplasia) and modified types 1 and 2 subclassification. Among them, IPNB was the most frequent (183 cases), followed by IOPN (28 cases), while ITPN was rare (2 cases), and interobserver agreement in this classification was "substantial" (κ-value, 0.657). The interobserver agreement of two-tiered grading system of TIDN was "slight" (κ-value, 0.201), while that of modified types 1 and 2 subclassification was "moderate" (κ-value, 0.515), and 42 % were of type 1, and 58 % were of type 2. Type 1 TIDN showed occasional stromal invasion (6.7 %), whereas type 2 TIDN was frequently associated with stromal invasion (49.6 %) (p < 0.01). In conclusion, the classification of TIDN into three categories and modified types 1 and 2 subclassification are a practically applicable classification and grading system for TIDN.

    Abstract Adenocarcinomas with enteroblastic differentiation are rare clear cell tumors that are positive for enteroblastic markers. Enteroblastic differentiation is particularly uncommon in colorectal adenocarcinomas. Herein, we report a case of clear cell adenocarcinoma with enteroblastic differentiation in the sigmoid colon of a 38-year-old Japanese woman that metastasized to the lower left ureter. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the patient underwent low anterior resection. The tumor consisted of tubular, cribriform, and focal micropapillary proliferation of clear cells immunopositive for spalt-like transcription factor 4 (SALL4), glypican 3, and alpha-fetoprotein. Six months after the colonic resection, a tumor was found in the left lower ureter, which was resected. The ureteral tumor revealed clear cell adenocarcinoma, which was identical to the colonic tumor proliferating in the ureteral mucosa. Metastatic ureteral tumors are rare. We performed a literature search and found only 50 reported cases of ureteral metastases from colorectal cancer. Of these, only 10 metastatic tumors were identified in the ureteral mucosa. No case of ureteral metastasis of clear cell colorectal adenocarcinoma or colorectal adenocarcinoma with enteroblastic differentiation has been reported. Hence, it can be challenging to distinguish them from clear cell adenocarcinoma of the urinary tract and/or clear cell urothelial carcinoma. This paper discussed the differential diagnosis of these tumors and reviewed the clinicopathological features of colorectal carcinomas metastasizing to the ureter.

    Abstract In contrast to conventional dispersions of solid microspheres, dilute dispersions containing soft hydrogel microspheres (microgels) exhibit unique drying behavior due to their selective adsorption at the air/water interface of sessile droplets. So far, the impact of the size, chemical composition, and softness (degree of cross-linking) of microgels has been investigated. In the present study, we present the impact of charged groups introduced in the microgels on the adsorption and assembly behavior of these microgels at the air/water interface using a series of microgels with different amounts and distribution of charged groups. A series of experiments under different conditions (pH value and ionic strength) afforded information that clarified the adsorption, interpenetration, and deformation behavior of such charged microgels at the air/water interface. The results indicate that the adsorption and the deformation of charged microgels at the air/water interface are suppressed by the presence of charged groups. Moreover, charged microgels adsorbed at the interface are more dynamic and not highly entangled with each other; i.e., even though the more dynamic charged microgels are arranged at the interface, these arranged structures are disrupted upon transferring onto the solid substrates. Our findings of this study can be expected to promote the further development of applications, e.g., foams and emulsions stabilized by microgels, that crucially requires an in-depth understanding of the adsorption behavior of charged microgels at the air/water interface such as coatings.

    Abstract BACKGROUND Eosinophilic angiocentric fibrosis (EAF) is an extremely rare disease with characteristic histopathological findings of fibrotic onion-skin appearance and eosinophils. The lesion primarily affects the nasal cavity, paranasal sinus, and orbit. Although there have been approximately 78 cases of EAF reported in the literature to date, no cases of EAF in the eyelid conjunctiva have ever been reported. CASE REPORT Herein, we describe the case of a 55-year-old Japanese woman with a history of eosinophilic sinusitis and EAF in bilateral upper eyelid conjunctivas who underwent surgical resection of the affected tissue. Histopathological examination revealed collagen bundles winding around the vessels in an onion-skin pattern, and the presence of eosinophils, lymphocytes, and plasma cells. CONCLUSIONS We describe the first reported case of EAF in bilateral upper eyelid conjunctivas. It can be successfully treated by surgical resection, and with no recurrence within 6 months postoperatively.
