    BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonitis associated with severe respiratory failure is associated with high mortality. The pathogenesis of COVID-19 is associated with microembolism or microvascular endothelial injuries. Here, we report that syndecan-1 (SDC-1), a component of the endothelial glycocalyx, may be a biomarker of severity classification for COVID-19 related to endothelial injury. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We analyzed the data of COVID-19 patients for 1 year from February 2020 at Yokohama City University Hospital and Yokohama City University Medical Center Hospital. We selected COVID-19 patients who required admission care, including intensive care, and analyzed the classification of severe and critical COVID-19 retrospectively, using various clinical data and laboratory data with SDC-1 by ELISA. RESULTS: We analyzed clinical and laboratory data with SDC-1 in five severe COVID-19 and ten critical COVID-19 patients. In the two groups, their backgrounds were almost the same. In laboratory data, the LDH, CHE, and CRP levels showed significant differences in each group (P = 0.032, P < 0.0001, and P = 0.007, respectively) with no significant differences in coagulation-related factors (platelet, PT-INR, d-dimer, ISTH score; P = 0.200, 0.277, 0.655, and 0.36, respectively). For the clinical data, the SOFA score was significantly different from admission day to day 14 of admission (p < 0.0001). The SDC-1 levels of critical COVID-19 patients were significantly higher on admission day and all-time course compared with the levels of severe COVID-19 patients (P = 0.009 and P < 0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Temporal change of SDC-1 levels closely reflect the severity of COVID-19, therefore, SDC-1 may be a therapeutic target and a biomarker for the severity classification of Covid-19.

    BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic rapidly increases the use of mechanical ventilation (MV). Such cases further require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and have a high mortality. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to identify prognostic biomarkers pathophysiologically reflecting future deterioration of COVID-19. METHODS: Clinical, laboratory, and outcome data were collected from 102 patients with moderate to severe COVID-19. Interleukin (IL)-6 level and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA copy number in plasma were assessed with ELISA kit and quantitative PCR. RESULTS: Twelve patients died or required ECMO owing to acute respiratory distress syndrome despite the use of MV. Among various variables, a ratio of oxygen saturation to fraction of inspired oxygen (SpO2/FiO2), IL-6, and SARS-CoV-2 RNA on admission before intubation were strongly predictive of fatal outcomes after the MV use. Moreover, among these variables, combining SpO2/FiO2, IL-6, and SARS-CoV-2 RNA showed the highest accuracy (area under the curve: 0.934). In patients with low SpO2/FiO2 (< 261), fatal event-rate after the MV use at the 30-day was significantly higher in patients with high IL-6 (> 49 pg/mL) and SARS-CoV-2 RNAaemia (> 1.5 copies/μL) compared to those with high IL-6 or RNAaemia or without high IL-6 and RNAaemia (88% vs. 22% or 8%, log-rank test P = 0.0097 or P < 0.0001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Combining SpO2/FiO2 with high IL-6 and SARS-CoV-2 RNAaemia which reflect hyperinflammation and viral overload allows accurately and before intubation identifying COVID-19 patients at high risk for ECMO use or in-hospital death despite the use of MV.

    The lymphatic system is an important route for cancer dissemination, and lymph node metastasis (LNM) serves as a critical prognostic determinant in cancer patients. We investigated the contribution of COX-2-derived prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)) in the formation of a premetastatic niche and LNM. A murine model of Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cell metastasis revealed that COX-2 is expressed in DCs from the early stage in the lymph node subcapsular regions, and COX-2 inhibition markedly suppressed mediastinal LNM. Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) was elevated in DCs before LLC cell infiltration to the lymph nodes, and a COX-2 inhibitor, an SDF-1 antagonist, and a CXCR4 neutralizing antibody all reduced LNM. Moreover, LNM was reduced in mice lacking the PGE(2) receptor EP3, and stimulation of cultured DCs with an EP3 agonist increased SDF-1 production. Compared with WT CD11c(+) DCs, injection of EP3-deficient CD11c(+) DCs dramatically reduced accumulation of SDF-1(+)CD11c(+) DCs in regional LNs and LNM in LLC-injected mice. Accumulation of Tregs and lymph node lymphangiogenesis, which may influence the fate of metastasized tumor cells, was also COX-2/EP3-dependent. These results indicate that DCs induce a premetastatic niche during LNM via COX-2/EP3-dependent induction of SDF-1 and suggest that inhibition of this signaling axis may be an effective strategy to suppress premetastatic niche formation and LNM.

    BACKGROUND: Clinical reasoning skills are essential competencies for medical students; therefore, effective, evidence-informed teaching methodologies are needed worldwide. This study investigated the benefits of team-based learning (TBL) for developing the skills in medical students. METHOD: A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was used to investigate the effectiveness of TBL for medical students acquiring clinical reasoning skills. The study participants comprised 92 fourth-year medical students at Yokohama City University School of Medicine, participating in TBL sessions that covered 10 major clinical symptoms identified in the core curriculum. Each session lasted 240 min. Before and after the educational intervention, student performance was measured using the script concordance test (SCT) on a 30-point scale, and self-assessed clinical reasoning competency was measured on a 7-point Likert scale. The SCT included pre-tests and post-tests of 30 questions each, with students randomly assigned to one of two test sets. Following the quantitative evaluation, a qualitative content analysis was conducted to explore the advantages of TBL for learning clinical reasoning skills. The analytic categories were set according to the six levels of Fink's taxonomy of significant learning. RESULT: Student performance improved significantly after the educational intervention (A test: 16.5 ± 4.4 to 18.7 ± 4.5, p = 0.019; B test: 18.1 ± 3.7 to 19.8 ± 4.4, p = 0.028). After the educational intervention, self-assessed clinical reasoning competency was significantly higher in "recalling appropriate physical examination and tests on clinical hypothesis generation," "recalling appropriate differential diagnosis from patient's chief complaint," "verbalizing points that fit/don't fit the recalled differential diagnosis appropriately," "verbalizing and reflecting appropriately on own mistakes," "selecting keywords from the whole aspect of the patient," and "practicing the appropriate clinical reasoning process" (all p < 0.001). The content analysis extracted 23 subcategories and 233 codes of the advantages of TBL for learning clinical reasoning skills, covering all six levels of Fink's taxonomy of significant learning: Foundational knowledge (7 codes); Application (40 codes); Integration (69 codes); Human dimension (89 codes); Caring (8 codes); and Learning how to learn (20 codes). CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that TBL supports the acquisition of critical clinical reasoning skills among medical students.

    Background and objective Sepsis is a life-threatening condition associated with high morbidity and mortality, and hence early recognition and treatment are crucial. The 2016 Sepsis-3 guidelines introduced the quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA), but its low sensitivity limits early detection. The 2021 Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines (SSCG) discourage relying solely on qSOFA and recommend additional tools such as the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) score, the National Early Warning Score (NEWS), and the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) along with lactate measurement. This study assessed whether combining qSOFA with quantitative capillary refill time (Q-CRT) or lactate levels enhances early sepsis diagnosis in emergency departments. Methods This retrospective, multi-facility observational study was conducted at two hospitals in Yokohama, Japan. Patients with suspected infections who underwent Q-CRT measurement were included. Q-CRT was measured using a pulse oximeter-based device that records the time taken for blood flow to return to 90% after compression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves determined the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results Of the 357 patients who underwent Q-CRT measurement, 75 (21%) were suspected of having an infection, with 48 (64%) classified as having sepsis with organ dysfunction. Patients in the sepsis group had higher age, heart rate, lactate level, creatinine level, NEWS, MEWS, and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores compared to those without organ dysfunction. Among individual tools, the qSOFA, NEWS, and MEWS scores showed high AUCs (>0.8), while Q-CRT and lactate levels demonstrated moderate predictive accuracy with AUCs exceeding 0.7. The SIRS score had the lowest predictive ability, with an AUC of approximately 0.6. Combining qSOFA with Q-CRT or lactate levels significantly improved sensitivity and specificity. The qSOFA+Q-CRT combination resulted in an AUC of 0.821, sensitivity of 83.3%, and specificity of 81.4%, while the qSOFA+lactate combination yielded an AUC of 0.844, sensitivity of 87.5%, and specificity of 81.4%. These combinations exceeded 80% in both sensitivity and specificity, unlike the SIRS-based combinations, which showed limited improvement and specificity below 40%. While the qSOFA score alone demonstrated limited sensitivity, combining it with Q-CRT or lactate levels enhanced its predictive performance for early sepsis detection. This approach improved sensitivity without compromising specificity. The increase in sensitivity and specificity is likely due to Q-CRT and lactate identifying sepsis cases not detected by qSOFA, thereby making the combined approach more reliable for clinical use. Lactate levels are well-established markers associated with sepsis severity, and Q-CRT offers a non-invasive means of assessing peripheral perfusion. Conclusions Combining qSOFA with Q-CRT or lactate levels significantly improves early sepsis detection by enhancing both sensitivity and specificity. These combinations offer superior diagnostic accuracy compared to standalone tools, supporting their potential integration into clinical protocols for better patient outcomes. Further prospective studies are needed to validate these findings across diverse clinical settings.

    INTRODUCTION: The vascular endothelial glycocalyx, crucial for blood vessel integrity and homeostasis, is vulnerable to oxidative stress, leading to endothelial dysfunction, which strongly correlates with cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study investigates the protective effects of rivaroxaban, a FXa inhibitor, on the glycocalyx under oxidative stress condition. METHODS: We examined the impact of rivaroxaban on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) exposed to acute and chronic H₂O₂-induced oxidative stress. RESULTS: Rivaroxaban dose-dependently suppressed syndecan-1, a key component of the glycocalyx, shedding from cell surface, and enhanced protease-activated receptor (PAR)1-PAR2/ phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent cell viability after acute induction of H2O2. This protective effect was linked to the translocation of IQGAP1, a scaffold protein that modulates the actin cytoskeleton, to the perinucleus from the cell membrane. Under chronic H2O2 treatments, rivaroxaban improves cell viability accompanied by an increase in hyaluronidase activities, aiding the turnover and remodeling of hyaluronic acid within the glycocalyx. CONCLUSION: We identify that rivaroxaban protects against oxidative stress-induced endothelial glycocalyx damage and cell viability through IQGAP1/PAR1-2/PI3K/Akt pathway, offering a potential to be a therapeutic target for CVD prevention.

    The increasing requirement of mechanical ventilation (MV) due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is still a global threat. The aim of this study is to identify markers that can easily stratify the impending use of MV in the emergency room (ER). A total of 106 patients with COVID-19 requiring oxygen support were enrolled. Fifty-nine patients were provided MV 0.5 h (interquartile range: 0.3 to 1.4) post-admission. Clinical and laboratory data before intubation were collected. Using a multivariate logistic regression model, we identified four markers associated with the impending use of MV, including the ratio of peripheral blood oxygen saturation to fraction of inspired oxygen (SpO2/FiO2 ratio), alanine aminotransferase, blood glucose (BG), and lymphocyte counts. Among these markers, SpO2/FiO2 ratio and BG, which can be measured easily and immediately, showed higher accuracy (AUC: 0.88) than SpO2/FiO2 ratio alone (AUC: 0.84), despite no significant difference (DeLong test: P = 0.591). Moreover, even in patients without severe respiratory failure (SpO2/FiO2 ratio > 300), BG (> 138 mg/dL) was predictive of MV use. Measuring BG and SpO2/FiO2 ratio may be a simple and versatile new strategy to accurately identify ER patients with COVID-19 at high risk for the imminent need of MV.

    We aimed to develop a method to determine the CT score that can be easily obtained from CT images and examine its prognostic value for severe COVID pneumonia. Patients with COVID pneumonia who required ventilatory management by intubation were included. CT score was based on anatomical information in axial CT images and were divided into three sections of height from the apex to the bottom. The extent of pneumonia in each section was rated from 0 to 5 and summed. The primary outcome was the prediction of patients who died or were managed on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) based on the CT score at admission. Of the 71 patients included, 12 (16.9%) died or required ECMO management, and the CT score predicted death or ECMO management with ROC of 0.718 (0.561-0.875). The death or ECMO versus survival group (median [quartiles]) had a CT score of 17.75 (14.75-20) versus 13 (11-16.5), p = 0.017. In conclusion, a higher score on our generated CT score could predict the likelihood of death or ECMO management. A CT score at the time of admission allows for early preparation and transfer to a hospital that can manage patients who may need ECMO.

    AIM: Although the obesity paradox is known for various diseases, including cancer and acute respiratory distress syndrome, little is known about veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and prognosis in critical patients with COVID-19 requiring VV-ECMO. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective observational single-center study at Yokohama City University Civic General Medical Center between March 2020 and October 2021. Participants were patients with COVID-19 who required VV-ECMO. They were classified into two groups: BMI ≤30 kg/m2 and >30 kg/m2. RESULTS: In total, 23 patients were included in the analysis, with a median BMI of 28.7 kg/m2. Overall, 22 patients were successfully weaned from the ECMO. When comparing the two groups, there was a trend toward fewer days from onset to ECMO induction in the BMI >30 kg/m2 group. Moreover, the two groups had a similar prognosis. There were no statistically significant differences in the number of days from onset to hospitalization or the duration of ECMO induction between the groups. CONCLUSION: VV-ECMO induction for patients with COVID-19 may lead to earlier indications in patients with BMI >30 kg/m2 than in those with BMI ≤30 kg/m2.

    AIMS: Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1)/prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) induces angiogenesis through the prostaglandin E2 receptor (EP1-4). Among immune cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), which inhibit immune responses, have been implicated in angiogenesis, and PGE2 is known to modulate function and differentiation of Tregs. We hypothesized that mPGES-1/PGE2-EP signaling could contribute to recovery from ischemic conditions by promoting the accumulation of Tregs. METHODS AND RESULTS: Wild-type (WT), mPGES-1-deficient (mPges-1-/-), and EP4 receptor-deficient (Ep4-/-) male mice 6-8 weeks old were used. Hindlimb ischemia was induced by femoral artery ligation. Recovery from ischemia was suppressed in mPges-1-/- mice and compared with WT mice. The number of accumulated forkhead box protein P3 (FoxP3)+ cells in ischemic muscle tissue was decreased in mPges-1-/- mice compared with that in WT mice. Expression levels of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and stromal cell derived factor-1 (SDF-1) in ischemic tissue were also suppressed in mPges-1-/- mice. The number of accumulated FoxP3+ cells and blood flow recovery were suppressed when Tregs were depleted by injecting antibody against folate receptor 4 (FR4) in WT mice but not in mPges-1-/- mice. Recovery from ischemia was significantly suppressed in Ep4-/- mice compared with WT mice. Furthermore, mRNA levels of Foxp3 and Tgf-β were suppressed in Ep4-/- mice. Moreover, the numbers of accumulated FoxP3+ cells in ischemic tissue were diminished in Ep4-/- mice compared with Ep4+/+ mice. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggested that mPGES-1/PGE2 induced neovascularization from ischemia via EP4 by promoting accumulation of Tregs. Highly selective EP4 agonists could be useful for treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD). TRANSLATIONAL PERSPECTIVE: Although surgical treatment for PAD in patients improved, some patients with advanced disease have no other option for treatments other than amputation. In the present study, we revealed that endogenous mPGES-1/PGE2-EP4 signaling induced recovery from ischemia by promoting Tregs accumulation at the ischemic site. In addition, we showed that selective EP4 agonist, or transplantation of Tregs, induced recovery from ischemic conditions. These results indicate that the use of selective EP4 agonist, or cell therapy of Tregs, may be a potential treatment option for severe critical limb ischemia patients.

    BACKGROUND: Arterial lactate (AL) level is an important predictor of patient prognosis. AL and peripheral venous lactate (PVL) in blood gas analysis have a low concordance rate, and PVL cannot be used as a substitute for AL. However, if the AL range can be predicted from PVL, PVL may be an alternative method for predicting patient prognosis, and the risk of arterial puncture complications with AL may be reduced. This could be a safe and rapid test method. METHODS: This was a retrospective observational study of 125 cases in which blood gas analysis was performed on both arterial and venous blood with an infectious disease in an emergency department. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (r) and Bland-Altman analyses were performed. Sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) were calculated for PVL to predict AL < 2 mmol/L or < 4 mmol/L. RESULTS: The median [interquartile range] AL and PVL were 1.82 [1.25-2.46] vs. 2.08 [1.57-3.28], respectively, r was 0.93 (p < 0.0001), and a strong correlation was observed; however, Bland-Altman analysis showed disagreement. When AL < 2 mmol/L was used as the outcome, AUC was 0.970, the PVL cutoff value was 2.55 mmol/L, sensitivity was 85.71%, and specificity was 96.05%. If PVL < 2 mmol/L was the outcome, the sensitivity for AL < 2mmol/L was 100%, and for PVL levels ≥ 3 mmol/L, the specificity was 100%. When AL < 4 mmol/L was used as the outcome, AUC was 0.967, the PVL cutoff value was 3.4 mmol/L, sensitivity was 100%, and specificity was 85.84%. When PVL < 3.5 mmol/L was the outcome, the sensitivity for AL < 4 mmol/L was 100%, and for PVL levels ≥ 4 mmol/L, the specificity was 93.81%. CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that PVL and AL levels in the same critically ill patients did not perfectly agree with each other but were strongly correlated. Furthermore, the high accuracy for predicting AL ranges from PVL levels explains why PVL levels could be used as a substitute for AL level ranges.

    BACKGROUND: The outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) treatment have improved due to vaccination and the establishment of better treatment regimens. However, the emergence of variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19, and the corresponding changes in the characteristics of the disease present new challenges in patient management. This study aimed to analyze predictors of COVID-19 severity caused by the delta and omicron variants of SARS-CoV-2. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed the data of patients who were admitted for COVID-19 at Yokohama City University Hospital from August 2021 to March 2022. RESULTS: A total of 141 patients were included in this study. Of these, 91 had moderate COVID-19, whereas 50 had severe COVID-19. There were significant differences in sex, vaccination status, dyspnea, sore throat symptoms, and body mass index (BMI) (p <0.0001, p <0.001, p <0.001, p = 0.02, p< 0.0001, respectively) between the moderate and severe COVID-19 groups. Regarding comorbidities, smoking habit and renal dysfunction were significantly different between the two groups (p = 0.007 and p = 0.01, respectively). Regarding laboratory data, only LDH level on the first day of hospitalization was significantly different between the two groups (p<0.001). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that time from the onset of COVID-19 to hospitalization, BMI, smoking habit, and LDH level were significantly different between the two groups (p<0.03, p = 0.039, p = 0.008, p<0.001, respectively). The cut-off value for the time from onset of COVID-19 to hospitalization was four days (sensitivity, 0.73; specificity, 0.70). CONCLUSIONS: Time from the onset of COVID-19 to hospitalization is the most important factor in the prevention of the aggravation of COVID-19 caused by the delta and omicron SARS-CoV-2 variants. Appropriate medical management within four days after the onset of COVID-19 is essential for preventing the progression of COVID-19, especially in patients with smoking habits.

    Cardioprotective effect of prostaglandin-E2 receptor-4 (EP4) stimulation on the ischemic heart has been demonstrated. Its effect on the heart affected by myocarditis, however, remains uncertain. In this study, we investigated therapeutic effect of EP4 stimulant using a mouse model of autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) that progresses to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). EP4 was present in the hearts of EAM mice. Treatment with EP4 agonist (ONO-0260164: 20 mg/kg/day) improved an impaired left ventricular (LV) contractility and reduction of blood pressure on day 21, a peak myocardial inflammation. Alternatively, DCM phenotype, characterized by LV dilation, LV systolic dysfunction, and collagen deposition, was observed on day 56, along with activation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 critical for myocardial extracellular matrix disruption, indicating an important molecular mechanism underlying adverse ventricular remodeling after myocarditis. Continued treatment with ONO-0260164 alleviated the DCM phenotype, but this effect was counteracted by its combination with a EP4 antagonist. Moreover, ONO-0260164 inhibited in vivo proteolytic activity of MMP-2 in association with up-regulation of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-3. EP4 stimulant may be a promising and novel therapeutic agent that rescues cardiac malfunction during myocarditis and prevents adverse ventricular remodeling after myocarditis by promoting the TIMP-3/MMP-2 axis.

    Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging infectious disease that leads to severe respiratory failure (RF). It is known that host exposure to viral infection triggers an iron-lowering response to mitigate pathogenic load and tissue damage. However, the association between host iron-lowering response and COVID-19 severity is not clear. This two-center observational study of 136 adult hospitalized COVID-19 patients analyzed the association between disease severity and initial serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation (TSAT) levels. Serum iron levels were significantly lower in patients with mild RF than in the non-RF group; however, there were no significant differences in iron levels between the non-RF and severe RF groups, depicting a U-shaped association between serum iron levels and disease severity. TIBC levels decreased significantly with increasing severity; consequently, TSAT was significantly higher in patients with severe RF than in other patients. Multivariate analysis including only patients with RF adjusted for age and sex demonstrated that higher serum iron and TSAT levels were independently associated with the development of severe RF, indicating that inadequate response to lower serum iron might be an exacerbating factor for COVID-19.

    ABSTRACT: The Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic continues to spread worldwide. Because of the absence of reliable rapid diagnostic systems, patients with symptoms of Coronavirus disease 2019 are treated as suspected of the disease. Use of computed tomography findings in Coronavirus disease 2019 are expected to be a reasonable method for triaging patients, and computed tomography-first triage strategies have been proposed. However, clinical evaluation of a computed tomography-first triage protocol is lacking.The aim of this study is to investigate the real-world efficacy and limitations of a computed tomography-first triage strategy in patients with suspected Coronavirus disease 2019.This was a single-center cohort study evaluating outpatients with fever who received medical examination at Yokohama City University Hospital, prospectively registered between 9 February and 5 May 2020. We treated according to the computed tomography-first triage protocol. The primary outcome was efficacy of the computed tomography-first triage protocol for patients with fever in an outpatient clinic. Efficacy of the computed tomography-first triage protocol for outpatients with fever was evaluated using sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. We conducted additional analyses of the isolation time of feverish outpatients and final diagnoses.In total, 108 consecutive outpatients with fever were examined at our hospital. Using the computed tomography-first triage protocol, 48 (44.9%) patients were classified as suspected Coronavirus disease 2019. Nine patients (18.8%) in this group were positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 using polymerase chain reaction; no patients in the group considered less likely to have Coronavirus disease 2019 tested positive for the virus. The protocol significantly shortened the duration of isolation for the not-suspected versus the suspected group (70.5 vs 1037.0 minutes, P < .001).Our computed tomography-first triage protocol was acceptable for screening patients with suspected Coronavirus disease 2019. This protocol will be helpful for appropriate triage, especially in areas where polymerase chain reaction is inadequate.

    ABSTRACT: The long-term exercise capacity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is not clear. The 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) of four patients with COVID-19-associated ARDS was followed for 6 months after admission to the hospital. These four patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of our hospital and received mechanical ventilation. Rehabilitation therapy (positioning, postural drainage, and passive range of motion exercises) was started after ICU admission. Mobilization therapy, including muscle power training, sitting on the edge of the bed, and endurance training, was performed after the end of sedation. The Medical Research Council sum scores and Barthel Indexes for the patients improved after ICU discharge and completely recovered 6 months after admission to the hospital. However, the 6MWD of the four patients remained shorter than those of healthy persons of the same age at 6 months after admission to the hospital. Furthermore, the minimum SpO2 during the 6-minute walking test remained below 96%. It is possible that patients who receive mechanical ventilation due to COVID-19-associated ARDS have decreased long-term exercise capacity, despite muscle power and activities of daily living recovering completely.

    BACKGROUND: Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pneumonitis associated with severe respiratory failure has a high mortality rate. Based on recent reports, the most severely ill patients present with coagulopathy, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)-like massive intravascular clot formation is frequently observed. Coagulopathy has emerged as a significant contributor to thrombotic complications. Although recommendations have been made for anticoagulant use for COVID-19, no guidelines have been specified. We describe four cases of critical COVID-19 with thrombosis detected by enhanced CT scan. The CT findings of all cases demonstrated typical findings of COVID-19 and pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombus without critical exacerbation. Two patients died of respiratory failure due to COVID-19. DISCUSSION: Previous reports have suggested coagulopathy with thrombotic signs as the main pathological feature of COVID-19, but no previous reports have focused on coagulopathy evaluated by whole-body enhanced CT scan. Changes in hemostatic biomarkers, represented by an increase in D-dimer and fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products, indicated that the essence of coagulopathy was massive fibrin formation. Although there were no clinical symptoms related to their prognosis, critical COVID-19-induced systemic thrombus formation was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Therapeutic dose anticoagulants should be considered for critical COVID-19 because of induced coagulopathy, and aggressive follow-up by whole body enhanced CT scan for systemic venous thromboembolism (VTE) is necessary.

    Central pontine myelinolysis (CPM) is a rare demyelinating condition which has been reported to occur in a variety of clinical settings, but most commonly in association with a rapid rise in plasma osmolality during correction of chronic hyponatremia. The clinical consequences can vary from a mild motor weakness that resolves completely over time to the devastating locked-in syndrome. In this presentation, we report a case of hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome (HHS) with ponto-occipital disintegration. A 71-year-old female was transferred to our ER by an ambulance due to consciousness disorder and continuous fever for 10 days. We diagnosed septic shock caused by urinary tract infection (UTI), cerebral multiple infarctions, acute kidney injury (AKI) and HHS without treatment for diabetes. Then, we started therapeutic interventions for them based on the guideline with severe control for blood sugar (BS; primary 1635 mg/dl) under insulin therapy and hypernatremia (primary 153 mEq/l) under crystal infusion control in advanced care unit, apparently on routine lab data. However, the initial serum sodium value of 153 mEq/l was slowly compensated to 148 mEq/l in 60 hours under guideline on routine lab data, the initial compensated sodium value with osmolality was changed from 178 mEq/l to 150 mEq/l in the period. She recovered from her primary diagnosis and unconsciousness. After stabilized sepsis and HHS, we detected CPM on brain MRI due to following up multiple cerebral infarctions with left leg paralysis and verbal disorder. She gradually recovered over several months with intensive rehabilitation and eventually regained near normal functional capacity with stabilized BS. When we consider HHS with hypernatremia, it may be necessary to pay attention to not only to BS control and sodium control according to the guideline but also to osmolality changes to prevent CPM.

    A 65-yr-old man visited a primary care hospital with a continued fever of 38°C for 3 days. As his fever did not improve until 8 days after, he was admitted into another acute care hospital, where his respiratory condition rapidly worsened. Therefore, the patient was transferred to our hospital. On the day of transfer (day 1), he was started on mechanical ventilation. COVID-19 was diagnosed using a polymerase chain reaction assay 6 days after admission (day 6). The rehabilitation therapy was begun on day 6. The initial rehabilitation programs focused on positioning and postural drainage. The patient was extubated on day 19, and he began standing and stepping on the same day. Gait exercises began on day 22, and endurance training was initiated on day 28. The patient was discharged from our hospital on day 34 as he met the physical function milestones. One month after discharge, the Medical Research Council sum score and Barthel Index had each improved; therefore, muscle strength and daily activities had returned to normal. It was assumed that mobilization should be performed as soon as possible after the end of sedation during the acute phase of severe COVID-19 infection in patients receiving mechanical ventilation.

    BACKGROUND: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) is one of the ultimate treatments for acute respiratory failure. However, the effectiveness of ECMO in patients with novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is unknown. CASE PRESENTATION: A 72-year-old woman who was a passenger of a cruise ship tested positive for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) while in quarantine on board using throat swab. Three days after admission, her condition deteriorated, and she was subsequently intubated. On day 6, VV-ECMO was introduced. Lopinavir/ritonavir was given; continuous renal replacement therapy was also introduced. On day 10, her chest radiography and lung compliance improved. She was weaned off ECMO on day 12. CONCLUSION: Treatment of severe pneumonia in COVID-19 by ECMO should recognize lung plasticity considering time to ECMO introduction and interstitial biomarkers. In Japan, centralization of ECMO patients has not been sufficient. Thus, we suggest nationwide centralization and further research to respond to the crisis caused by COVID-19.

    Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, and has resulted in global pandemic. There is currently no effective therapeutic strategy for the management of mechanical ventilation or antiviral drugs for the treatment of this disease. As such, the development of a therapeutic strategy is urgently needed and should be established as soon as possible. In this case series, a therapeutic strategy was initially developed based on previous treatment methods used for the treatment of SARS and MERS in the absence of treatment options for COVID-19 due to a lack of information. During the search for a potential treatment, clinical findings were obtained from patients with severe COVID-19, and one therapeutic strategy was established. This therapeutic strategy was then applied to severe COVID-19 patients. In addition, we can require some interesting clinical features and characteristics of COVID-19 from blood analysis and physical findings. Here, we reported on the clinical features and characteristics of a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of severe COVID-19 pneumonia at our institution.

    BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a lethal lung disease with a poor prognosis. Fibroblast proliferation amplifies extracellular matrix deposition and increases angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most potent angiogenic factors. VEGF interacts with VEGF receptors (VEGFR1 and VEGFR2). A previous study showed that VEGFR1 tyrosine kinase (TK) signaling induced blood flow recovery mediated by bone marrow (BM)-derived stem cells. We hypothesized that VEGFR1-TK signaling might be related to pulmonary fibrosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Six-week-old male C57Bl/6 wild-type (WT) mice and VEGFR1 TK knockout mice (TKKO mice) were treated with a single intratracheal injection of bleomycin (BLM; 0.1 μg in 50 μl saline) or vehicle (saline; 50 μl). Lung fibrosis was evaluated by histology, real-time PCR and ELISA for pro-fibrotic factors, and assessment of lung mechanics. RESULTS: The fibrotic area in the lung and the lung elastance were significantly reduced in TKKO mice (P < 0.01). The expression of the fibrosis-related factors type I collagen, S100A4, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β was also significantly reduced in TKKO mice on day 21 after BLM injection. TKKO mice also had significantly lower levels of stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1 in the lungs and plasma on days 14 and 21 after BLM treatment (P < 0.05). Moreover, the expression of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CXCR7) and CXCR4, the receptors for SDF-1, was also suppressed in TKKO mice. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that treatment with a CXCR4 antibody decreased the accumulation of VEGFR1+ cells in the lung in WT mice but not in TKKO mice. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that VEGFR1 TK signaling promotes BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis by activating the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis in infiltrating VEGFR1+ cells.

    INTRODUCTION: The use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) in trauma patients has been controversial, but VV-ECMO plays a crucial role when the lungs are extensively damaged and when conventional management has failed. VV-ECMO provides adequate tissue oxygenation and an opportunity for lung recovery. However, VV-ECMO remains contraindicated in patients with a risk of bleeding because of systemic anticoagulation during the treatment. The most important point is controlling the bleeding from severe trauma. CASE: A 32-year-old male experienced blunt trauma due to a traffic accident. He presented with bilateral hemopneumothorax and bilateral flail chest. We performed emergency thoracotomy for active bleeding and established circulatory stability. After surgery, the oxygenation deteriorated under mechanical ventilation, so we decided to establish VV-ECMO. However, bleeding from the bilateral lung contusions increased after VV-ECMO was established, and the patient was switched to heparin-free ECMO. After conversion, we could control the bronchial bleeding, especially the lung hematomas, and the oxygenation recovered. The patient was discharged without significant complications. VV-ECMO and mechanical ventilation were stopped on days 10 and 11, respectively. He was discharged from the ICU on day 15. CONCLUSION: When we consider the use of ECMO for patients with uncontrollable, severe bleeding caused by blunt trauma, it may be necessary to use a higher flow setting for heparin-free ECMO than typically used for patients without trauma to prevent thrombosis.

    The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) family has a key role in the formation of blood vessels and lymphatics. Among the members of this family, VEGF-C is one of the most important factors involved in lymphangiogenesis via binding with two receptors (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 and -3: VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3). Soluble VEGFR-2 (sVEGFR-2) has a role in maintaining the alymphatic state of the cornea associated with binding to VEGF-C, and selectively inhibits lymphangiogenesis but not angiogenesis. In this study, we introduced sVEGFR-2 into lung cancer cells and evaluated the influence on tumor progression and on genes regulating lymphatic formation and metastasis in vivo. A retroviral vector was used to introduce the sVEGFR-2 gene into Lewis lung carcinoma cells (LLC), which were designated as LLC-sVEGFR-2 cells. Proteins secreted into the culture supernatant by these cells were detected by western blotting using specific antibodies. To examine lymphangiogenesis by primary lung cancer in vivo, LLC-sVEGFR-2 cells were subcutaneously injected into C57BL/6 mice. At 14days after injection, immunohistochemistry was performed using an antibody directed against lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1 (LYVE-1), a marker of lymphatics. Expression of mRNA for VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3 and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) was also determined by real-time PCR. Furthermore, LLC-sVEGFR-2 cells were directly inoculated into the left lung in C57BL/6 mice and the number of micro-metastases in pulmonary lymph nodes was determined. Introduction of sVEGFR-2 into LLC cells resulted in secretion of sVEGFR-2 protein into the culture supernatant. There were fewer LYVE-1 positive lymphatics after inoculation of LLC-sVEGFR-2 into mice compared with the control group. In addition, VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3, and MMPs gene expression was suppressed in the primary tumors of the LLC-sVEGFR-2 group compared with the control group. Furthermore, there were fewer micro-metastases in the pulmonary lymph nodes of the LLC-sVEGFR-2 group compared with the control group after cells were directly inoculated into the lung. These findings indicate that introduction of sVEGFR-2 suppressed lymphangiogenesis in primary lung cancer and also suppressed lymphogenic metastasis by inhibiting VEGF-C, followed by down-regulation of VEGFR-2, VEGFR-3 and MMPs. Accordingly, sVEGFR-2 might be a promising target for treatment of cancer by regulating lymphangiogenesis and lymphogenic metastasis.

    AIMS: Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) induces platelet adhesion through thromboxane prostanoid (TP) receptor. Platelets contain many pro-angiogenic factors and are recruited to the site of vascular injury. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of platelet-dependent angiogenesis, especially the involvement of TP signalling, have not been fully elucidated. The present study hypothesized that TP-dependent platelet adhesion would contribute to angiogenesis in a mouse hindlimb ischaemic model. METHODS AND RESULTS: Blood flow recovery was suppressed by the TXA2 receptor antagonist (S-1452) and the TXA2 synthase inhibitor (OKY-046) compared with control mice. TP knockout mice (TP(-/-)) showed delayed blood flow recovery from ischaemia and impaired angiogenesis compared with wild-type (WT) mice and prostacyclin receptor knockout mice (IP(-/-)). Selective platelet adhesion to ischaemic endothelial cells (ECs) via P-selectin was identified in WT and IP(-/-), but not in TP(-/-), via in vivo microscopy. IF analysis showed that P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) co-localized with endothelial CD31 in ischaemic muscle in WT and IP(-/-) but not diminished in TP(-/-). Platelet-rich plasma levels of stromal cell-derived factor-1 and VEGF were increased after ischaemia in WT, and suppressed by antibody against P-selectin in WT but not in TP(-/-). Furthermore, the blood flow recovery was suppressed by neutralizing antibodies against VEGF or C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 in WT and IP(-/-) but not in TP(-/-). CONCLUSION: These results indicated that TP signalling facilitates ischaemia-induced angiogenesis via P-selectin-mediated platelet adhesion to PSGL-1 on the ECs at ischaemic sites and the supply of pro-angiogenic factors by the adherent platelets.

    Compensatory lung growth models have been widely used to investigate alveolization because the remaining lung can be kept intact and volume loss can be controlled. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in blood formation during lung growth and repair, but the precise mechanisms involved are poorly understood; therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of VEGF signaling in compensatory lung growth. After left pneumonectomy, the right lung weight was higher in VEGF transgenic mice than wild-type (WT) mice. Compensatory lung growth was suppressed significantly in mice injected with a VEGF neutralizing antibody and in VEGF receptor-1 tyrosine kinase-deficient mice (TK(-/-) mice). The mobilization of progenitor cells expressing VEGFR1(+) cells from bone marrow and the recruitment of these cells to lung tissue were also suppressed in the TK(-/-) mice. WT mice transplanted with bone marrow from TK(-/-)transgenic GFP(+) mice had significantly lower numbers of GFP(+)/aquaporin 5(+), GFP(+)/surfactant protein A(+), and GFP(+)/VEGFR1(+) cells than WT mice transplanted with bone marrow from WTGFP(+) mice. The GFP(+)/VEGFR1(+) cells also co-stained for aquaporin 5 and surfactant protein A. Overall, these results suggest that VEGF signaling contributes to compensatory lung growth by mobilizing VEGFR1(+) cells.

    Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the most potent angiogenesis stimulators. VEGF binds to VEGF receptor 1 (VEGFR1), inducing angiogenesis through the receptor's tyrosine kinase domain (TK), but the mechanism is not well understood. We investigated the role of VEGFR1 tyrosine kinase signaling in angiogenesis using the ischemic hind limb model. Relative to control mice, blood flow recovery was significantly impaired in mice treated with VEGFA-neutralizing antibody. VEGFR1 tyrosine kinase knockout mice (TK-/-) had delayed blood flow recovery from ischemia and impaired angiogenesis, and this phenotype was unaffected by treatment with a VEGFR2 inhibitor. Compared to wild type mice (WT), TK-/- mice had no change in the plasma level of VEGF, but the plasma levels of stromal-derived cell factor 1 (SDF-1) and stem cell factor, as well as the bone marrow (BM) level of pro-matrix metalloproteinase-9 (pro-MMP-9), were significantly reduced. The recruitment of cells expressing VEGFR1 and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) into peripheral blood and ischemic muscles was also suppressed. Furthermore, WT transplanted with TK-/- BM significantly impaired blood flow recovery more than WT transplanted with WT BM. These results suggest that VEGFR1-TK signaling facilitates angiogenesis by recruiting CXCR4+VEGFR1+ cells from BM.

    The prognosis of patients with large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the lung is extremely poor and the optimal treatment for these patients has yet to be determined. In this study, we described the clinicopathological characteristics of LCNECs and compared the prognoses of corresponding stages determined by the guidelines of the 6th and 7th editions of the TNM classification of malignant tumors. Clinical data from 42 patients diagnosed with primary LCNEC who underwent treatment at Kitasato University Hospital between 1991 and 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. On follow-up of 42 patients, 22 (52.4%) had confirmed recurrent tumors, including 8 patients with mediastinal lymph node recurrences and 19 with distant metastases. The sites of distant metastases included the brain in 8, bone in 8, liver in 7, lungs in 5 and adrenal glands in 4 patients. For all the patients, the 5-year overall survival rate was 34.7% and the 5-year disease-free survival rate was 32.9%. The 5-year overall survival rates of patients with stage I cancers according to the 6th and 7th staging editions was 51.3% (6th n=18, 7th n=16). Thirteen of 42 patients (31.0%) also had metachronous or synchronous primary cancers. Patients with LCNEC had poor outcomes, even those with stage I tumors classified according to the 7th edition of the TNM classification. Therefore, frequent recurrences in addition to metachronous or synchronous primary cancers in patients with LCNEC should be treated.

    Because the cavopulmonary shunt procedure is widely used for palliation of complex congenital heart diseases, pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are relatively well-known complications. The reported patient was a 23-year-old woman who experienced PAVMs in the right lower lobe after a classical Glenn anastomosis and Björk procedure for tricuspid atresia. Her arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) 14 years after the Björk procedure was ~80 %. She then underwent a total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) conversion to reduce her PAVMs in the right lower lobe using the "hepatic factor." However, her situation remained unchanged, and she experienced severe systemic cyanosis (SaO2, 70 %) and dyspnea during physical exertion without hemoptysis due to increased blood flow to the PAVMs. Although interventional embolization was considered, it was impossible due to considerable dilation of the main PAVM. Thus, right lower lung lobectomy was performed. After surgery, the patient's SaO2 increased to 90 %. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report of a lung resection for residual PAVMs after TCPC conversion. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

    Angiotensin II is involved in tumor growth
    however, the precise mechanism is not known. Platelets also contribute to tumor growth, and angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) is expressed on the platelet surface. We hypothesized that interaction of platelets with tumor cells through AT1 receptor signaling promotes tumor metastasis. B16F1 melanoma cells were intravenously injected into Agtr1a knockout mice (AT1a-/-) and wild-type littermates (WT)
    the AT1a-/- mice exhibited a reduction in lung colonies. Angiotensin II induced expression of P-selectin on platelets in WT but not in AT1a -/- mice. A selective P-selectin neutralizing antibody decreased lung colony numbers in WT but not in AT1a-/- mice. Levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) receptor in platelets at metastatic locus were lower in AT1a-/- mice. Treatment of neutralizing antibodies against VEGF and CXCR4 decreased lung colony numbers in WT but not in AT1a-/- mice. In AT1a-/- mice, and both mobilization of progenitor cells expressing CXCR4 +VEGFR1+ cells from bone marrow and their recruitment to lung tissues were suppressed. These results suggest that AT1A signaling plays a critical role in tumor metastasis through P-selectin-mediated interactions of platelets with tumor and endothelial cells and through the AT1A signaling-dependent production of VEGF and SDF-1, which may be involved in mobilization of CXCR4+VEGFR1+ cells. © 2013 American Society for Investigative Pathology.

    Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is a prostanoid formed by thromboxane synthase using the cyclooxygenase product, prostaglandin H(2), as the substrate. TXA2 was shown to enhance tumor metastasis, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. B16F1 melanoma cells were intravenously injected into TXA2 receptor (TP) knockout mice (TP-/-) and wild-type littermates (WT). TP-/- showed a reduction in B16F1 lung colonization and mortality rate, which were associated with a decreased number of platelets. Platelet activation as assessed by P-selectin expression was suppressed in TP-/-. A selective P-selectin neutralizing antibody decreased the lung colonization in WT mice, but not in TP-/-. The expression of P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 in B16F1 and HUVEC were enhanced by treatment with U46619, a thromboxane analog. The plasma levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and stromal-derived factor (SDF)-1 were lower in TP-/-. In TP-/-, the mobilization of progenitor cells expressing CXCR4+VEGFR1+ from bone marrow and the recruitment of those cells to lung tissues were suppressed. These results suggest that TP signaling plays a critical role in tumor colonization through P-selectin-mediated interactions between platelets-tumor cells and tumor cells-endothelial cells through the TP signaling-dependent production of VEGF and SDF-1, which might be involved in the mobilization of VEGFR1+CXCR4+ cells. Blockade of TP signaling might be useful in the treatment of tumor metastasis. (Cancer Sci 2012; 103: 700707)

    Postoperative exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia in patients with lung cancer and interstitial lung disease has emerged as a serious problem. Therefore, the risk factors for postoperative exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia in patients with interstitial lung disease must be identified. We analyzed 22 patients diagnosed as having lung cancer with interstitial lung disease who underwent surgical treatment at the Kitasato University Hospital. Among the patients with lung cancer and interstitial lung disease, 5 patients (22.7%) had postoperative exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia. The prognosis of the patients with postoperative exacerbation was significantly poorer than that of patients without. Patients with postoperative exacerbation had a significantly higher age (&gt;= 75 years) and a significantly lower frequency of postoperative administration of steroid than patients without postoperative exacerbation. Almost all patients with postoperative exacerbation underwent lobectomy, had elevated KL-6 levels in the serum pre-operatively, and had significantly advanced stages of disease. Of the 5 patients with postoperative exacerbation, 2 had a history of inflammation prior to their exacerbation: 1 had a common cold and the other pyothorax. In patients with lung cancer and interstitial lung disease, advanced age, advanced stage disease, no postoperative administration of steroid and a pre-operative episode of inflammation are all risk factors for postoperative exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia.

    Thymic large cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (LCNECs) are very rare. We here describe a case in which the tumor could be completely resected. A 55-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for treatment of an anterior mediastinal tumor found at a regular health check-up. The patient underwent an extended thymectomy of an invasive thymoma of Masaoka&apos;s stage II that had been suspected preoperatively. The tumor was located in the right lobe of the thymus and was completely resected. Final pathological diagnosis of the surgical specimen was thymic LCNEC. The patient underwent adjuvant chemotherapy with irinotecan and cisplatin in accordance with the diagnosis of a lung LCNEC, and is alive without recurrence or metastasis 16 months after surgery.

    Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 is known to correlate with poor cancer prognosis and to contribute to tumor metastasis. However, the precise mechanism of this phenomenon remains unknown. We have previously reported that host stromal prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2))-prostaglandin E2 receptor (EP)3 signaling appears critical for tumor-associated angiogenesis and tumor growth. Here we tested whether the EP3 receptor has a critical role in tumor metastasis. Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells were intravenously injected into WT mice and mice treated with the COX-2 inhibitor NS-398. The nonselective COX inhibitor aspirin reduced lung metastasis, but the COX-1 inhibitor SC560 did not. The expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-9 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A was suppressed in NS-398-treated mice compared with PBS-treated mice. Lungs containing LLC colonies were markedly reduced in EP3 receptor knockout (EP3-/-) mice compared with WT mice. The expression of MMP-9 and VEGF-A was downregulated in metastatic lungs of EP3-/- mice. An immunohistochemical study revealed that MMP-9-expressing endothelial cells were markedly reduced in EP3-/- mice compared with WT mice. When HUVEC were treated with agonists for EP1, EP2, EP3, or EP4, only the EP3 agonist enhanced MMP-9 expression. These results suggested that EP3 receptor signaling on endothelial cells is essential for the MMP-9 upregulation that enhances tumor metastasis and angiogenesis. An EP3 receptor antagonist may be useful to protect against tumor metastasis. (Cancer Sci 2009; 100: 2318-2324).

    We describe a rare case of thymic neuroblastoma with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH). A 60-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital for further examination and treatment of anterior mediastinal tumor found at a regular health check-up. On examination there was hyponatremia, decrease in plasma osmolarity and elevation of plasma antidiuretic hormone (ADH) level. Thus, he underwent total thymectomy under the diagnosis of thymoma with SIADH. The tumor was located in the right lobe of the thymus and the final diagnosis was thymic neuroblastoma. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of thymic neuroblastoma in which production of ADH by tumor cells is demonstrated immunohistochemically. This case highlights the need to consider functional activity of thymic neuroblastoma and complete resection of the tumor is warranted for treatment.

    Objective. Computer-controlled stapling systems can improve lung tissue approximation during thoracic surgery. We report our experience with a handy system with computer-controlled placement of staples for lung resection in Japan. Methods. The iDrive system is the improved second version of the SurgAssist stapling system. It comprises a self-contained computer microprocessor and hand-held control unit combined with a digital loading unit (a power linear cutter with a blue or green cartridge) for use in open and minimally invasive thoracic surgery. The mounted control unit has two uses: (1) controlling accurate placement of the cartridge by orientating the tip of the rigid and curved shaft and (2) controlling the closure of the stapler and the firing. Each cartridge contains a programmed electronic device that triggers activation of the appropriate program in the self-contained microprocessor. The compression level on lung tissue is determined by the computer. Results. From March to October 2008, the iDrive system was used 53 times in a consecutive series of 39 patients during open thoracic lung surgery. There were 12 women and 27 men. The following procedures were performed: lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection. The power linear cutters were used for stapling lung parenchyma for wedge resection in 6 patients, bullectomy in 1, segmentectomy in 2, and fissure division in 33. There were no stapling failures and no complications related to the staplers. Conclusion. The new computer-controlled stapling system may be safe and efficient for lung parenchymal tissue resection during open thoracic surgery. © The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery 2009.

    Dilated cardiomyopathy based on active myocarditis leads to intractable acute heart failure, requiring artificial heart lung and heart transplantation. Therefore, its treatment has become a global challenge. The major mechanism of disease progression is thought to be the autoimmune response after viral infection. In this study, we focused on the interferon regulatory factor (IRF) family of transcription factors as a therapeutic target that can regulate this immune process, and clarified the significance of IRF as a therapeutic target in dilated cardiomyopathy.

    We analyzed LCNEC gene expression, gene mutation and immunohistochemical expression of known molecular targets and compared expression to that of lung adenocarcinomas. We analyzed 13 patients with primary LCNEC and 14 patients with adenocarcinoma(AC). We evaluated immunohistochemical(IHC) expression for c-KIT, human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2(HER2), and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), gene mutation for EGFR, K-ras and c-kit, and gene expression using fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH) for EGFR. In cases with LCNEC, the IHC expression of c-KIT, HER2, and VEGF were 76.9%, 30.8%, and 100%, respectively. There was a significant difference in IHC expression in c-KIT and HER2 between LCNEC and AC. Two cases of LCNEC had overexpression of HER2, and EGFR gene mutation was greater in the AC group, with only a single EGFR mutation(exon 18) identified in the LCNEC group. Although LCNEC had a higher rate of expression of c-KIT by IHC, no c-kit gene mutations were found. These findings suggest a potential role for Anti-VEGF, Anti-c-KIT, and possibly Anti-HER2 targeted agents in the treatment of LCNEC.
