    Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors, including nivolumab, can result in immune-related adverse events (irAEs) that may affect multiple organ systems. Among irAEs, both gastritis and cholangitis are uncommon. We present the case of a 65-year-old man who received nivolumab for lung adenocarcinoma presented with epigastric pain. He was diagnosed with immune-related gastritis and cholangitis based on imaging and pathological findings. We administered prednisolone (1 mg/kg/day), which improved the patient's gastritis and relieved his pain. However, he experienced recurrent epigastric pain during corticosteroid tapering, and magnetic resonance imaging showed biliary tract hemorrhage. After watchful waiting, the hemorrhage improved without additional immunosuppressants. Immune-related gastritis, immune-related cholangitis, and their coexistence should be considered in patients who develop epigastric pain during immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. When patients with concurrent immune-related gastritis and cholangitis complain of recurrent epigastric pain, it is important to assess which of these two irAEs is worsening because the optimal immunosuppressants differ between the two.

    Abstract Background: Previous studies reported good outcomes of acetabular cup placement using portable navigation systems during THA. However, we are aware of no prospective studies comparing inexpensive portable navigation systems using augmented reality (AR) technology with accelerometer-based portable navigation systems in THA.
    Questions/purposes: (1) Is the placement accuracy of the acetabular cup using the AR-based portable navigation system superior to that of an accelerometer-based portable navigation system? (2) Do the frequencies of surgical complications differ between the two groups?
    Methods: We conducted a prospective, two-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial involving patients scheduled for unilateral THA. Between August and December 2021, we treated 148 patients who had a diagnosis of osteoarthritis, idiopathic osteonecrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or femoral neck fracture and were scheduled to undergo unilateral primary THA. Of these patients, 100% (148) were eligible, 90% (133) were approached for inclusion in the study, and 85% (126) were finally randomized into either the AR group (62 patients) or the accelerometer group (64 patients). An intention-to-treat analysis was performed, and there was no crossover between groups and no dropouts; all patients in both groups were included in the analysis. There were no differences in any key covariates, including age, sex, and BMI, between the two groups. All THAs were performed via the modified Watson-Jones approach with the patient in the lateral decubitus position. The primary outcome was the absolute difference between the cup placement angle displayed on the screen of the navigation system and that measured on postoperative radiographs. The secondary outcome was intraoperative or postoperative complications recorded during the study period for the two portable navigation systems.
    Results: There were no differences between the AR and accelerometer groups in terms of the mean absolute difference in radiographic inclination angle (3° ± 2° versus 3° ± 2° [95% CI -1.2° to 0.3°]; p = 0.22). The mean absolute difference in radiographic anteversion angle displayed on the navigation screen during surgery compared with that measured on postoperative radiographs was smaller in the AR group than that in the accelerometer group (2° ± 2° versus 5° ± 4° [95% CI -4.2° to -2.0°]; p < 0.001). There were few complications in either group. In the AR group, there was one patient each with a surgical site infection, intraoperative fracture, distal deep vein thrombosis, and intraoperative pin loosening; in the accelerometer group, there was one patient each with an intraoperative fracture and intraoperative loosening of pins.
    Conclusion: Although the AR-based portable navigation system demonstrated slight improvements in radiographic anteversion of cup placement compared with the accelerometer-based portable navigation system in THA, whether those small differences will prove clinically important is unknown. Until or unless future studies demonstrate clinical advantages that patients can perceive that are associated with such small radiographic differences, because of the costs and the unquantified risks associated with novel devices, we recommend against the widespread use of these systems in clinical practice.

    Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this study was to examine the comparative precision of the augmented reality (AR)-assisted navigation system and the accelerometer-based navigation system in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
    Materials and methods: We performed noninferiority analysis in a retrospective cohort. The coronal alignment of femoral prosthesis was compared between 109 TKAs performed using the AR-assisted navigation system and 118 TKAs performed using the accelerometer-based navigation system. All femoral prostheses were planned to be positioned perpendicular to the mechanical axis of the femur. The primary outcome was the success rate of coronal alignment of the femoral prosthesis defined as alignment error relative to neutral alignment <3°. We calculated the noninferiority margin as 7%-points using the 95%-95 % method and also confirmed the validity of the noninferiority margin using the fixed margin method. Noninferiority would be shown if the lower boundary of the 95 % confidence interval (CI) for the between-group difference in percentage of the success rate was not less than 0.93 (i.e., 1.00 - 0.07).
    Results: Treatment success was achieved in 104 of 109 patients (95.4 %) in the AR-assisted navigation group and 110 of 118 (93.2 %) in the accelerometer-based navigation group. The risk ratio of success between the AR-assisted navigation group versus accelerometer-based navigation group was 1.02 (95 % CI, 0.96 to 1.09): the CIs did not include the noninferiority margin of 0.93.
    Conclusion: The AR-assisted navigation system was noninferior to the accelerometer-based navigation system in terms of coronal alignment of the femoral prosthesis in TKA.

    Abstract An augmented reality (AR)-based navigation system allows visualization of the center of the femoral head and femoral mechanical axis superimposed on the surgical field during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and may help surgeons to improve the accuracy of distal femoral resection.
    Methods: First, we resected 10 femoral Sawbones specimens using the AR-based navigation system and performed computed tomography (CT) to measure the resection angle of the distal part of the femur. We calculated the absolute values of the differences between angles measured using CT images and angles displayed on the smartphone screen of the navigation system. Second, we measured coronal alignment using standing long-leg radiographs for 72 patients undergoing TKA and compared the error in the resection angle between TKA using the AR-based navigation system and that using a conventional intramedullary guide.
    Results: In the experimental study, the absolute values of the differences between angles measured on CT images and angles displayed using the AR-based navigation system were 0.8° ± 0.5° (range, 0.3° to 1.9°) in the coronal plane and 0.6° ± 0.5° (range, 0.0° to 1.4°) in the sagittal plane. In the clinical study, the mean absolute value of the error in coronal alignment was significantly smaller in the AR-based navigation group than the intramedullary-guide group (1.1° ± 1.0° [range, 0.0° to 3.2°] compared with 2.2° ± 1.6° [range, 0.0° to 5.5°], respectively; 95% confidence interval, 0.5° to 1.8°; p < 0.001).
    Conclusions: The AR-based navigation system may enable surgeons to perform distal femoral resection more accurately than with the conventional intramedullary guide during TKA.
    Clinical relevance: This study validates the use of AR technology to enhance the precision of bone resection in TKA.

    Abstract Purpose: To illustrate a surgical technique for augmented reality (AR)-assisted unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and report preliminary data.
    Methods: We developed an AR-based navigation system that enables the surgeon to see the tibial mechanical axis superimposed on the patient's leg in addition to the tibial cutting angle. We measured the tibial resection angle in 11 UKAs using postoperative radiographs and calculated the absolute difference between preoperative target angle and postoperative measured angle. The target angle was determined for each patient: mean values were 0.7° ± 1.0° varus in coronal alignment and 5.3° ± 1.4° posterior slope in sagittal alignment.
    Results: The angles measured on postoperative radiographs were 2.6° ± 1.2° varus in the coronal plane and 4.8° ± 2.5° posterior slope in the sagittal plane. The absolute differences between the target and measured angles were 1.9° ± 1.5° in coronal alignment and 2.6° ± 1.2° in sagittal alignment. No patients experienced complications, including surgical site infection and periprosthetic fracture.
    Conclusion: The AR-based portable navigation system may provide passable accuracy in terms of proximal tibial resection during UKA.

    Abstract We have developed an innovative system, AI QM Docking Net (AQDnet), which utilizes the three-dimensional structure of protein-ligand complexes to predict binding affinity. This system is novel in two respects: first, it significantly expands the training dataset by generating thousands of diverse ligand configurations for each protein-ligand complex and subsequently determining the binding energy of each configuration through quantum computation. Second, we have devised a method that incorporates the atom-centered symmetry function (ACSF), highly effective in describing molecular energies, for the prediction of protein-ligand interactions. These advancements have enabled us to effectively train a neural network to learn the protein-ligand quantum energy landscape (P-L QEL). Consequently, we have achieved a 92.6% top 1 success rate in the CASF-2016 docking power, placing first among all models assessed in the CASF-2016, thus demonstrating the exceptional docking performance of our model.

    Abstract Background and aim: Various techniques for direct biopsy from gastrointestinal subepithelial tumors (SETs) have been reported, although no standard method has been established. A common feature of these techniques is the removal of overlaying mucosa to enable direct biopsies from the SETs. These methods have been synthesized under the collective term "unroofing technique". We conducted a multicenter retrospective study to assess its efficacy and identify potential complications.
    Methods: This study was conducted in 10 hospitals and involved all eligible patients who underwent unroofing techniques to obtain biopsies for gastrointestinal SETs between April 2015 and March 2021. The primary endpoint was the diagnostic accuracy of the unroofing technique, and the secondary endpoints were the incidence of adverse events and the factors contributing to the accurate diagnosis.
    Results: The study included 61 patients with 61 gastrointestinal SETs. The median tumor size was 20 mm, and the median procedure time was 38 min, with 82% successful tumor exposure. The rate of pathological diagnosis was 72.1%. In 44 patients with a pathological diagnosis, two showed discrepancies with the postresection pathological diagnosis. No factors, including facility experience, organ, tumor size, or tumor exposure, significantly affected the diagnostic accuracy. There was one case of delayed bleeding and two cases of perforation.
    Conclusion: The diagnostic yield of the unroofing technique was acceptable. The unroofing technique was beneficial regardless of institutional experience, organ, tumor size, or actual tumor exposure.

    Abstract Invasion has a significant role in cancer progression, including expansion to surrounding tissue and metastasis. Previously, we assessed the invasive ability of cancer cells using an easy-to-prepare double-layered collagen gel hemisphere (DL-CGH) method by which cancer cell invasion can be easily visualized. The present study examined multiple lung adenocarcinoma and malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cell lines using the DL-CGH method and identified inherently invasive cell lines. Next, by comparing gene expression between invasive and non-invasive cells by cDNA microarray, the potential candidate gene brain-expressed x-linked protein 1 (

    Abstract Objectives: We investigated the influence of the preoperative haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) value on the prognosis and pathology of patients with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery.
    Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 400 lung adenocarcinoma patients who underwent lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection between 2009 and 2013 using a prospectively maintained database. We stratified 400 patients into 4 groups according to the preoperative HbA1c value as follows: HbA1c ≤ 5.9 (n = 296), 6.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 6.9 (n = 70), 7.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 7.9 (n = 21) and HbA1c ≥ 8.0 (n = 12). We compared the recurrence-free survival and overall survival (OS) among these 4 groups. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for recurrence.
    Results: The median follow-up period was 61.2 months. On comparing the recurrence-free survival and OS rates among these 4 groups, we found that these rates among patients in the HbA1c ≥ 8.0 group were significantly poorer compared with the other 3 groups (5-year recurrence-free survival: HbA1c ≤ 5.9, 70.4%; 6.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 6.9, 69.7%; 7.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 7.9, 70.7%; ≥8.0 HbA1c, 18.8%; P = 0.002; and 5-year OS: HbA1c ≤ 5.9, 88.7%; 6.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 6.9, 80.6%; 7.0 ≤ HbA1c ≤ 7.9, 90.2%; ≥8.0 HbA1c, 66.7%; P = 0.046). Patients in the HbA1c ≥ 8.0 group had significantly more tumours with vascular invasion (P = 0.041) and experienced distant metastasis significantly more often (P = 0.028) than those with other values. A multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative HbA1c ≥ 8.0 [hazard ratio (HR) 2.33; P = 0.026] and lymph node metastasis (HR 3.94; P < 0.001) were significant independent prognostic factors for recurrence.
    Conclusions: Our results revealed that preoperative HbA1c ≥ 8.0 is associated to poor prognosis due to the occurrence of distant metastasis and we should carefully follow these patients after surgery.

    Abstract Background: There have been no studies regarding the effectiveness of augmented reality (AR)-based portable navigation systems compared with accelerometer-based portable navigation systems in total hip arthroplasty (THA).
    Methods: We retrospectively compared THAs performed using an AR-based portable navigation system (n = 45) and those performed using an accelerometer-based portable navigation system (n = 42). All THAs were performed with the patient in the lateral decubitus position. The primary outcome was the absolute difference between cup placement angles displayed on the navigation screen and those measured on postoperative X-ray.
    Results: The mean absolute differences were significantly smaller in the AR-based portable navigation system group than the accelerometer-based portable navigation system group in radiographic inclination (2.5° ± 1.7° vs 4.6° ± 3.1°; 95% confidence interval 1.1°-3.2°, P < .0001). Similarly, the mean absolute differences were significantly better in the AR-based portable navigation system group in radiographic anteversion (2.1° ± 1.8° vs 6.4° ± 4.2°; 95% confidence interval 3.0°-5.7°, P < .0001). Neither hip dislocation, surgical site infection, nor other complications associated with use of the navigation system occurred in either group.
    Conclusion: The AR-based portable navigation system may provide more precise acetabular cup placement compared with the accelerometer-based portable navigation system in THA.
