    Abstract Both palbociclib and abemaciclib are, oral, highly selective inhibitors of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6, which are proteins involved in cell differentiation and growth. In pivotal phase III trials (PALOMA and MONARCH), they demonstrated a significant improvement in median progression-free survival in combination with a nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor in the first-line, and with a fulvestrant in the second-line in hormone receptor-positive and HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer, respectively. Both palbociclib and abemaciclib were approved, however, ribociclib, the third cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor, has not been approved in Japan. The overall benefits from palbociclib and abemaciclib seem to be equivalent. Subsets analyses suggest that clinical benefits of palbociclib are associated with bone-only disease at baseline, no measurable disease, sensitive to previous endocrine therapy and longer disease-free interval. In contrast, additional benefits from abemaciclib in combination with nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant seem to have a relationship with visceral disease, liver metastasis, primary resistant to endocrine therapy, and short treatment-free interval. Abemaciclib induces senescence and apoptosis more than palbociclib does in a time-dependent manner and has potential to produce tumor shrinkage by single use. Neutropenia is more frequent in palbociclib, in contrast, diarrhea, nausea, and liver dysfunction are frequent in abemaciclib. In this review, we provide an overview of the two kinds of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor, which were already approved in Japan. These differences might be useful information for the proper use in daily practice.

    Abstract Gastric cancer (GC) is a globally prevalent and deadly malignancy often diagnosed at advanced stages, which can be accompanied by liver metastases. Conventional chemotherapy is contraindicated in patients with severe liver failure because several chemotherapeutic agents are metabolized by the liver. The present study reports on the successful use of nivolumab in a patient with advanced GC and severe liver failure owing to multiple liver metastases. A 57-year-old man was admitted to Shimane Prefectural Central Hospital (Izumo, Japan) with a 2-week history of appetite loss and jaundice. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed advanced GC (type IV). Computed tomography examination confirmed wall thickening of the gastric pylorus and the presence of multiple liver metastases. A gastric mucosal biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of HER2-positive gastric adenocarcinoma. S-1 + cisplatin chemotherapy was initiated but had to be halted due to the rapid deterioration in liver function, ultimately leading to acute liver failure. The patient was discharged from the hospital under palliative care. The patient was referred to Shimane University Hospital (Izumo, Japan) for a second consultation. Upon admission, the patient presented with severe liver failure, a Child-Pugh score of 10 (Class C), elevated total bilirubin levels of 13.9 mg/dl (normal range: <1.8 mg/dl) and elevated CEA and CA19-9. Nivolumab treatment was initiated, and notably, there was a substantial reduction in bilirubin levels, an improvement in liver function after a single cycle and a partial response observed in imaging studies. Despite the initial poor prognosis, the patient achieved long-term survival, ultimately succumbing to the illness 2 years and 6 months following the initiation of treatment. The present case underscores the potential of immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as nivolumab, in the treatment of patients with cancer and severe liver failure. It also challenges the conventional constraints of chemotherapy, offering a promising direction for future research in this area.

    Abstract Background: Although improvement has been made in therapeutic strategies against pancreatic carcinoma, overall survival has not significantly enhanced over the past decade. Thus, the establishment of better therapeutic regimens remains a high priority.
    Methods: Pancreatic cancer cell lines were incubated with romidepsin, an inhibitor of histone deacetylase, and tamoxifen, and their effects on cell growth, signaling and gene expression were analyzed. Xenografts of human pancreatic cancer CFPAC1 cells were medicated with romidepsin and tamoxifen to evaluate their effects on tumor growth.
    Results: The inhibition of the growth of pancreatic cancer cells induced by romidepsin and tamoxifen was effectively reduced by N-acetyl cysteine and α-tocopherol, respectively. The combined treatment greatly induced reactive oxygen species production and mitochondrial lipid peroxidation, and these effects were prevented by N-acetyl cysteine and α-tocopherol. Tamoxifen enhanced romidepsin-induced cell senescence. FOXM1 expression was markedly downregulated in pancreatic cancer cells treated with romidepsin, and tamoxifen further reduced FOXM1 expression in cells treated with romidepsin. Siomycin A, an inhibitor of FOXM1, induced senescence in pancreatic cancer cells. Similar results were obtained in knockdown of FOXM1 expression by siRNA.
    Conclusion: Since FOXM1 is used as a prognostic marker and therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer, a combination of the clinically available drugs romidepsin and tamoxifen might be considered for the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer.

    Abstract Cellular proliferation is tightly controlled by several cell-cycle checkpoint proteins. In cancer, the genes encoding these proteins are often disrupted and cause unrestrained cancer growth. The proteins are over-expressed in many malignancies; thus, they are potential targets for anti-cancer therapies. These proteins include cyclin-dependent kinase, checkpoint kinase, WEE1 kinase, aurora kinase and polo-like kinase. Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors are the most advanced cell-cycle checkpoint therapeutics available. For instance, palbociclib (PD0332991) is a first-in-class, oral, highly selective inhibitor of CDK4/6 and, in combination with letrozole (Phase II; PALOMA-1) or with fulvestrant (Phase III; PALOMA-3), it has significantly prolonged progression-free survival, in patients with metastatic estrogen receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer, in comparison with that observed in patients using letrozole, or fulvestrant alone, respectively. In this review, we provide an overview of the current compounds available for cell-cycle checkpoint protein-directed therapy for solid tumors.

    Abstract The ClearPetra (Well Lead Medical, Guangzhou, China) has recently entered the market, enabling continuous stone fragmentation and removal while maintaining a continuous perfusion field of view. The efficacy and safety of the ClearPetra renal access sheath (RAS) in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS) have been reported. However, no reports have described the use of the ClearPetra ureteral access sheath (UAS). Here, we report a case of successful ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) for a giant ureteral stone by effectively utilizing the ClearPetra UAS.

    Abstract Background: This AMEERA-2 study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of the oral selective estrogen receptor degrader amcenestrant as a monotherapy with dose escalation in Japanese postmenopausal women with advanced estrogen receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative breast cancer.
    Methods: In this open-label, nonrandomized, phase I study, patients received amcenestrant 400 mg once daily (QD) (n = 7) and 300 mg twice daily (BID) (n = 3). The incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT), recommended dose, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety were assessed.
    Results: No DLTs were observed and MTD was not reached in the 400 mg QD group. One DLT (grade 3 maculopapular rash) was reported in a patient treated with 300 mg BID. After repeated oral administration of either dosing regimen, steady state reached before day 8, without accumulation. Four out of 5 response-evaluable patients from 400 mg QD group achieved clinical benefit and showed tumor shrinkage. No clinical benefit was reported in the 300 mg BID group. Overall, most patients (8/10) experienced a treatment-related adverse event (TRAE), with skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders most commonly reported (4/10 patients). No ≥ grade 3 TRAE in 400 mg QD group and 1 grade 3 TRAE in 300 mg BID group were reported.
    Conclusions: Amcenestrant 400 mg QD has a favorable safety profile and has been selected as the recommended Phase II dose for monotherapy for evaluating the safety and efficacy of amcenestrant in a larger, global, randomized clinical trial of patients with metastatic breast cancer.

    Abstract Significant linear correlation between organic carbon (OC) and reactive aluminum and iron (metal) are often observed across a wide range of acidic soils including Andisols, and often explained by the formation of stable organo-metal complexes. However, the chemical variation and the long-term stability of the complexes remain unclear. We thus compared two buried A horizons (the burial period of 0.5 and 4.6 kyr, based on tephra chronology) to examine the changes in OC chemistry as well as its association with the metal phases extractable by sodium pyrophosphate (PP) and acid oxalate (OX). Both horizons were subdivided into six layers, and then the layer with the highest OC in each horizon was subjected to particle-size fractionation after maximum dispersion. ¹⁴C ages of the bulk and the size fractions were consistent with the tephra-based burial ages. Younger ¹⁴C age was shown for the organo-mineral fractions of finer sizes in both horizons, in accord with our previous study using a surface Andisol. PP-extractable metal concentration (metalPP) showed a highly significant linear correlation with OC across all the layers and the fractions from both horizons, whereas OX-extractable metal showed the correlation only within the younger buried horizon. Solid-state ¹³C NMR spectroscopy showed a stronger metalPP correlation with alkyl C than with aromatic C especially among the older horizon layers and the ¹⁴C age variation among the size fractions in this horizon was not related to aromaticity. Significant decline in the proportion of O-alkyl C and concurrent increase in that of aromatic C from the younger to older horizon may suggest preferential degradation of O-alkyl C under the buried condition. Over the burial time, however, the correlation between metalPP and aromatic C weakened whereas metalPP-alkyl C correlation increased. These results imply a shift in the dominant organic ligand in the organo-metal complexes. Furthermore, the shift in the distribution of total OC and metalPP from 0.2–2 μm fraction to <0.2 μm fraction suggested a physical weakening of microaggregates where organo-metal complexes likely acted as glue. The observed changes imply reduced OC stability, which may lead to the eventual disappearance of buried A horizons. The current study demonstrated that, while organo-metal complexes appeared persistent based on the OC-metalPP correlation, the changes in the nature of OC-metal association including the partial breakdown of microaggregates took place, in the millennium timescale.
