RESUMO
To investigate the safety of total body irradiation-based myeloablative conditioning (TBI-MAC) in adolescent and young adult (AYA) Philadelphia chromosome (Ph)-negative acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients treated with pediatric protocols, treatment outcomes of 106 AYA patients aged 16-39 years old undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplant (allo-SCT) with TBI-MAC in the first remission were compared according to chemotherapy types before transplant. Pediatric and adult protocols were used in 56 and 50 of the patients, respectively. The cumulative incidence (CI) of non-relapse mortality (NRM) and the overall survival (OS) rates were not significantly different between the pediatric-protocol and adult-protocol group (NRM: 4â¯% vs. 14â¯% at five years post-transplant, respectively, p = 0.26; OS: 81â¯% vs. 66â¯%, respectively, p = 0.14). Multivariate analysis for NRM revealed that a performance status >0 (hazard ratio [HR] = 4.8) and transplant due to chemotherapy toxicities (HR = 3.5) were independent risk factors, but a pediatric protocol was not (HR = 0.48). The CI of NRM and the OS rates were also similar among patients aged over 24 years old. These findings suggested that conventional allo-SCT with TBI-MAC can be performed without increasing NRM in AYA patients with Ph-negative ALL even after pediatric protocols.

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may help detect cholangiocarcinoma in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), but it may be associated with complications. This study was aimed at determining the prognostic impact of ERCP on patients with PSC without cholangitis. METHODS: Patients with PSC without cholangitis were divided into two groups: those who underwent ERCP within three years after diagnosis (ERCP-performed group) and those who did not (non-ERCP group). These groups were compared in terms of clinical outcomes (liver-related death or liver transplantation, endoscopic treatment requirement and repeated cholangitis) and the composite outcome. RESULTS: Of 99 patients with PSC with detailed medical history, 49 were included in the ERCP-performed group and 21 in the non-ERCP group. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, the non-ERCP group was less likely to achieve the three outcomes and the composite outcome, showing statistical significance (endoscopic treatment requirement; p = 0.017 and composite outcome; p = 0.014). A Cox proportional hazards model indicated that ERCP in the asymptomatic state was a significant predictor of endoscopic treatment requirement (hazard ratio [HR]: 4.37, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-18.59) and the composite outcome (HR: 4.54, 95% CI: 1.07-19.28). CONCLUSION: ERCP in patients with PSC without cholangitis is likely to require further endoscopic treatment and may be associated with poor prognosis.
RESUMO
Background and Aim: The treatment strategy for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) in clinical remission who have not achieved mucosal healing is unclear. This study aimed to determine the risk factors of relapse in patients in clinical remission with endoscopic activity. Methods: This retrospective, single-center study included patients with UC who underwent colonoscopy (CS) and were in clinical remission with endoscopic activity. Characteristics were compared between patients who relapsed within 2 years after CS and those who did not. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to identify risk factors contributing to clinical relapse. Recent worsening in bowel symptoms was defined as increase in bowel frequency and/or increase in abdominal pain within approximately 1 month based on the descriptions in the medical charts. Results: This study regarded 142 patients in clinical remission with an endoscopic activity of Mayo endoscopic subscore (MES) of ≥1 as eligible, and 33 (23%) patients relapsed during the observation period. Recent worsening of bowel symptoms was a significant risk factor for clinical relapse (hazard ratio [HR]: 3.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.34-6.84). This was particularly evident in patients with MES of 2 (HR: 5.16, 95% CI: 1.48-18.04), whereas no risk factors were identified in patients with MES of 1. The presence or absence of therapeutic intervention just after CS did not significantly affect clinical relapse. Conclusion: Recent worsening in bowel symptoms was a significant risk factor for clinical relapse in patients with UC who were in clinical remission with endoscopic activity.

A prospective multicenter observational study of organ response was conducted in patients with chronic GVHD diagnosed by the NIH criteria. When response was assessed at 12 months (12 M) in 118 patients, 74.6% were classified as responders and 25.4% as non-responders. The skin and oral cavity were the most frequent organs used as the basis for determining overall response. The lungs, liver, and eyes were also used in 20% of patients. Non-response decisions at 12 M were most frequent in the lungs. A significantly higher percentage of responders than non-responders completed systemic treatment (24.3% vs. 3.3%, P = 0.02). Global scoring showed significant changes, with improvement in responders and worsening in non-responders throughout the observation period. Two-year transplant-related mortality, using the 12 M assessment as the landmark, was significantly worse in non-responders (28.5% vs. 2,7%, P = 0.0001), while the 2-year recurrence rate was equivalent (5.4% vs. 4.8%, P = 0.78). Consequently, the 2-year overall survival rate from the 12 M assessment was significantly better in responders than non-responders (95% vs. 65.3%, P = 0.0001). Our data suggests that patients who do not achieve a response within the first year should be candidates for clinical studies on chronic GVHD.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the utility of intensive triamcinolone acetonide (TA) injections after extensive esophageal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). METHODS: This retrospective study included 27 lesions in 27 consecutive patients who underwent ESD (ulcers encompassing ≥3/4 of the esophageal circumference) and received TA injections without oral steroid administration. Groups A and B included patients undergoing ESD with and without complete circumferential resection, respectively. All patients received TA injections (100 mg/session) immediately after ESD. In Group A, weekly based TA injections were performed until near-complete ulcer epithelialization. In Group B, patients did not receive additional injections or received weekly or biweekly TA injections. The primary outcome was stricture rate, and the secondary outcomes were the proportion of patients requiring endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) and the number of TA injections. RESULTS: Group A included 7 lesions, and Group B included 20 lesions. The median (range) tumor lengths were 40 (30-90) and 45 (30-110) mm in Groups A and B, respectively. In Group A, the median circumferential resection diameter was 40 (20-80) mm. The stricture rate and the proportion of patients requiring EBD were 0 (0%) in Group A and 1 (5.0%) in Group B. The number of TA injection sessions was significantly higher in Group A than in Group B (8 [5-25] vs 1.5 [1-3]; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Intensive weekly or biweekly based TA injections might aid in preventing post-ESD stricture and the need for EBD in patients undergoing extensive resection involving the entire esophageal circumference.

BACKGROUND: Recently, the incidence of achalasia has been increasing, but its cause remains unknown. This study aimed to examine the initial symptoms and the course of symptoms and to find new insights into the cause and course of the disease. METHODS: Altogether, 136 patients diagnosed with achalasia by high-resolution manometry (HRM) were enrolled. Questionnaires and chart reviews were conducted to investigate the initial symptoms, time from onset to diagnosis, and comorbidities, as well as the relationship between HRM results, time to diagnosis, and symptom severity. RESULTS: In total, 67 of 136 patients responded to the questionnaire. The median ages of onset and diagnosis were 42 and 58 years, respectively. The median time from onset to diagnosis was 78.6 months, with 25 cases (37.3%) taking > 10 years to be diagnosed. The symptom onset was gradual and sudden in 52 (77.6%) and 11 (16.4%) patients, respectively. Of the 11 patients with acute onset, three (27.3%) developed anhidrosis at the same time. There was no correlation between the time from onset to diagnosis and esophageal dilatation, resting LES pressure, or mean integrated relaxation pressure (IRP). No correlation was also found between the degree of symptoms and resting LES pressure or IRP. CONCLUSION: Esophageal achalasia can have acute or insidious onsets. This finding may help to elucidate the cause of achalasia.
RESUMO
Corynebacterium amycolatum is a part of the normal skin flora and has been underestimated as a pathogen. However, in recent years, the species has gained recognition as an important pathogen causing severe infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Nevertheless, identifying these organisms at the species level is difficult in routine clinical microbiology, leading to limited knowledge of their clinical manifestations in infectious diseases. In this study, we report a rare case of multiple subcutaneous abscesses in a patient with severe neutropenia, wherein C.amycolatum was identified as the causative organism through genotyping tests. This case highlights the importance of this organism as an aetiological agent of severe skin infections in patients with compromised immune systems.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The measurement of esophageal acid exposure time (AET) using combined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) tests is the gold standard for diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, this catheter-based 24-h test can cause considerable patient discomfort. Our aim is to identify factors affecting AET and to develop a scoring model for predicting AET abnormalities before conducting the MII-pH test. METHODS: Of the 366 patients who underwent MII-pH test at two facilities in Japan and Vietnam, 255 patients who also had esophagogastroduodenoscopy and high-resolution manometry were included in this study. Logistic regression analysis was conducted using risk factors for AET > 6% identified from a derivation cohort (n = 109). A scoring system predicting AET > 6% was then constructed and externally validated with a separate cohort (n = 146). RESULTS: Three variables were derived from the prediction model: male gender, Hill grades III-IV, and weak mean distal contractile integrals. Based on these scores, patients were classified into low (0 point), intermediate (1-3 points), and high (4 points) risk groups. The probabilities of having an AET > 6% were 6%, 34%, and 100% for these groups, respectively. A score of < 1 excluded patients with abnormal AET, with a negative predictive value of 93.8% in the derivation cohort and 80.0% in the validation cohort. CONCLUSIONS: We derived and externally validated a prediction model for abnormal AET. This system could assist in guiding the appropriate treatment strategies for GERD.

Poor prognostic factors, such as transfusion dependency and chromosomal risk, need to be considered in the indication of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) for patients harboring myelodysplastic syndromes with less than 5% marrow blasts (MDS-Lo). We analyzed the post-transplant outcomes of 1229 MDS-Lo patients who received myeloablative (MAC)(n = 651), reduced-intensity (RIC)(n = 397), and non-myeloablative conditioning (NMAC) regimens (n = 181). The multivariate analysis revealed that the RIC group had better chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)- and relapse-free survival (CRFS) (P = 0.021), and GVHD- and relapse-free survival (GRFS) than the MAC group (P = 0.001), while no significant differences were observed between the NMAC and MAC groups. In the subgroup analysis, the MAC group has better overall survival (P = 0.008) than the RIC group among patients with an HCT-comorbidity index (HCT-CI) score of 0, while the RIC group had better overall survival (P = 0.029) than the MAC group among those with an HCT-CI score ≥3. According to the type of conditioning regimen, total body irradiation 12 Gy-based MAC regimen showed better OS and CRFS than the other MAC regimen, and comparable outcomes to the RIC regimen. In conclusion, the RIC and NMAC regimens are promising options for MDS-Lo patients in addition to the MAC regimen.

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: The infliximab biosimilar CT-P13 was the first biosimilar drug targeting tumor necrosis factor-α. However, its efficacy and safety in real-world clinical situations have remained insufficient. Therefore, we aimed to verify the efficacy and safety of CT-P13 in bio-naïve patients with Crohn's disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective multicenter study compared the remission rate at week 54 between patients with Crohn's disease who were treated with originator infliximab or CT-P13. Endoscopic and laboratory findings were assessed in both groups. A total of 184 (156 originator and 28 CT-P13) patients were analyzed. Of these, 138 originator users and 19 biosimilar users completed 54-week administration. RESULTS: The clinical remission rates in patients taking originator infliximab of CT-P13 at week 54 were 92.5 % and 100 %, respectively. The endoscopic scores of each group significantly decreased from baseline at week 54 in both groups, and the mucosal healing rate at week 54 was 53 % and 64 %, respectively. Laboratory data including C-reactive protein, serum albumin, and hemoglobin significantly improved from baseline to week 14 and 54 in both groups. Adverse events were observed more frequently in the CT-P13 group (25 % vs. 4.5 %, p = 0.0015), but severe adverse events were rare in both groups. CONCLUSION: The efficacy and safety of CT-P13 were comparable with those of originator infliximab in bio-naïve patients with Crohn's disease evaluated by clinical, endoscopic, and laboratory findings. This study establishes the needed groundwork for the development of a strategy for treatment with biologics in patients with Crohn's disease.

Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGvHD) is a major complication after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in Japan and other countries. Nearly one-third of patients do not respond to standard systemic steroid therapy and no standard second-line treatment has been established in Japan. We report efficacy and safety findings of ruxolitinib versus best available therapy (BAT) from a subgroup analysis of the international, phase 3 REACH2 study in Japanese patients with steroid-refractory aGvHD. The primary endpoint was overall response rate (ORR) at day 28. Overall, 9 patients received ruxolitinib and 21 received BAT. The ORR at day 28 (88.9% vs 52.4%) and durable ORR at day 56 (66.7% vs 28.6%) were higher with ruxolitinib versus BAT. The estimated cumulative incidence of loss of response at 6 months was 12.5% with ruxolitinib and 18.2% with BAT. The median failure-free survival was longer with ruxolitinib versus BAT (2.73 vs 1.25 months). The most common adverse events up to day 28 in the ruxolitinib and BAT groups were anemia (55.6% vs 19.0%) and thrombocytopenia (44.4% vs 4.8%, respectively). Ruxolitinib showed better efficacy outcomes and a consistent safety profile compared with BAT in the Japanese subgroup, and the findings were consistent with overall study results.

BACKGROUND: Vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, demonstrates more potent acid inhibition than proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of vonoprazan in patients with unproven gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by comparing patients with vonoprazan-refractory heartburn with those with PPI-refractory heartburn. METHODS: This study included 104 consecutive patients with vonoprazan- or PPI-refractory heartburn (52 patients each), no erosive esophagitis on endoscopy and who underwent combined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH (MII-pH) testing with vonoprazan/PPI discontinuation. Patients' backgrounds, symptom scores from four questionnaires, MII-pH results and high-resolution manometry results were compared between the two groups. RESULTS: The vonoprazan group demonstrated significantly higher GERD symptoms and scores of abdominal pain and diarrhea on the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale questionnaire. MII-pH results revealed that the vonoprazan group demonstrated 40.4%, 17.3%, and 42.3% and the PPIs group exhibited 26.9%, 17.3%, and 55.8% of abnormal acid reflux [true non-erosive reflux disease (NERD)], reflux hypersensitivity and functional heartburn, respectively. The vonoprazan group demonstrated higher true NERD rates but with no significant difference (p = 0.307). Among the vonoprazan group, eight patients with true NERD underwent another MII-pH test on vonoprazan, and all cases demonstrated normal acid exposure times (0.0% [0.0-0.3]). CONCLUSION: Patients with unproven GERD with vonoprazan-refractory heartburn demonstrated more symptoms, including not only GERD symptoms but also functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome symptoms, than those with PPI-refractory heartburn.

BACKGROUND: During systemic therapy, the management of portal hypertension (PH)-related complications is vital. This study aimed to clarify factors associated with the incidence and exacerbation of PH-related complications, including the usefulness of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) in the management of PH-related complications during systemic therapy. METHODS: A total of 669 patients who received systemic therapy as first-line treatment (443 patients for sorafenib, 131 for lenvatinib, and 90 for atezolizumab/bevacizumab [ATZ/BEV]) were enrolled in this retrospective study. Additionally, the lower esophageal intramural vessel diameters (EIV) on CECT and endoscopic findings in 358 patients were compared. RESULTS: The cutoff values of the EIV diameter on CECT were 3.1 mm for small, 5.1 mm for medium, and 7.6 mm for large varices, demonstrating high concordance with the endoscopic findings. esophageal varices (EV) bleeding predictors include EIV ≥ 3.1 mm and portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT). In patients without EV before systemic therapy, factors associated with EV exacerbation after 3 months were EIV ≥ 1.9 mm and ATZ/BEV use. Predictors of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) include the ammonia level or portosystemic shunt diameter ≥ 6.8 mm. The incidence of HE within 2 weeks was significantly higher (18%) in patients with an ammonia level ≥ 73 µmol/L and a portosystemic shunt ≥ 6.8 mm. The exacerbating factors for ascites after 3 months were PVTT and low albumin levels. CONCLUSIONS: Careful management is warranted for patients with risk factors for exacerbation of PH-related complications; moreover, the effective use of CECT is clinically important.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Delayed bleeding (DB) is a major adverse event associated with colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) that sometimes causes difficulties in making decisions regarding endoscopic hemostasis. This study identified the factors that contribute to follow-up without endoscopic hemostasis when DB is suspected after colorectal ESD. METHODS: In total, 583 patients (603 tumors) who underwent ESD or hybrid ESD for colorectal tumors at Chiba University Hospital between June 2009 and January 2022 were retrospectively registered. Of these, 141 cases (141 tumors) with DB, and hematochezia or hemoglobin decrease ≥2 g/dL after colorectal ESD, were analyzed. The DB group was divided into the Hemostasis group (H group; endoscopic hemostasis performed) and no-Hemostasis group (no-H group; no endoscopy performed, or endoscopy performed but no hemostasis performed after hematochezia or hemoglobin decrease). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the factors contributing to follow-up. RESULTS: Thirty-one patients with 31 tumors were categorized into the H group, and 110 patients with 110 tumors were in the no-H group. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that date from ESD to first hematochezia ≤Day 3 (odds ratio, 4.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.44-14.33; P = .010) and bleeding duration ≤1 day (odds ratio, 3.35; 95% confidence interval, 1.35-8.34; P = .009) contributed to follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: In cases of DB after colorectal ESD, a bleeding duration ≤1 day or date from ESD to first hematochezia ≤Day 3 may contribute to follow-up observation without endoscopic hemostasis.
