Based on these results, the patient was diagnosed with anaphylaxis after a sting by the ant. Based on the results of the allergen component specific IgE test, we speculated that the pathogens in this case was group5 allergen of the Asian needle ant. Anaphylaxis following insect stings by this ant has been reported frequently in South Korea. However, it is quite rare in Japan, although the ant is native to Japan. Clinicians should consider that this allergy can occur indoors, unlike allergies to other types of venom.We report the case of a 66-year-old patient with severe asthma complicated by eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS). The patient was initially treated with benralizumab, which resulted in marked improvement of asthma symptoms and reduced the peripheral blood eosinophil count to 0/μL. Additionally, oral steroids were discontinued. After 7 months of benralizumab administration, the asthma symptoms worsened and peripheral blood eosinophil count increased to 813/μL. The neutralizing antibodies to benralizumab may have resulted in the recurrence of symptoms due to eosinophilic inflammation. The nasal symptoms, on which benralizumab had an unremarkable effect, improved when treatment was switched to mepolizumab. However, the difference in effects of biologics on ECRS has not been elucidated and warrants further investigation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of severe asthma in which mepolizumab administration reversed the clinical deterioration of asthma, which was possibly caused by neutralizing antibodies to benralizumab.

The causative chemicals responsible for nitrile rubber glove-induced allergic contact dermatitis have not been fully elucidated.

This case involved a 36-year-old female, who developed an erythematous rash on her hands after one and a half months of wearing nitrile rubber gloves at her workplace.

Patch tests were performed using the gloves as is, and the Japanese standard allergen 2008 and their components. The gloves were chemically analyzed and several detected substances were subjected to further patch testing.

The patient exhibited positive patch test reactions to nitrile rubber gloves as is, as well as to the dithiocarbamate mix and thiuram mix in the Japanese standard allergen 2008. Further patch testing revealed positive reactions to zinc diethyldithiocarbamate (ZDEC) and tetraethylthiuram disulfide (TETD) and weak positive reactions to zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate (ZDMC) and tetramethylthiuram monosulfide (TMTM). Chemical analysis revealed that ethyl isothiocyanate (EITC) and butyl isothiocyanate (BITC), which might have been produced from dithiocarbamate-type accelerators (DTCs) or thiuram-type accelerators (thiurams) during the vulcanization process, were present in the nitrile rubber gloves the patient used at her workplace, as was ZDBC. No other DTCs or thiurams were detected. Patch testing of the detected materials produced positive reactions to EITC and BITC, but not to ZDBC.

We diagnosed the patient with allergic contact dermatitis due to the EITC and BITC present in nitrile rubber gloves, and considered that alkyl isothiocyanate might also have played a causative role. We propose that nitrile rubber gloves should be produced without using vulcanization accelerators.

Y-27632 in vivo Image noise was significantly decreased with dDLR. Although fractional anisotropy (FA) of deep gray matter was overestimated when the number of image acquisitions was one (NAQ1), FA in NAQ1 with dDLR became closer to that in NAQ5.

In this study, we investigated the factors of signal loss out because of the presence of a stent and optimized imaging parameters for improvement in depiction ability.

We investigated the relationship between the stent type and magnetic susceptibility effect by measuring the signal value between the inside and outside of the stent with different Bw and TE for two different kinds of stents respectively. Similarly, flip angles were changed for two different kinds of stents respectively to the signal intensity between the inside and the outside of the stent was measured, in which examine the relationship between the stent type and the Ernst angles in RF-shielding effect. The conventional imaging parameters and the optimum imaging parameters for each stent obtained from the result of the phantom experiment were examined. Optimized 3D time-of-flight MR angiography (3D-TOF-MRA) was performed and compared with conventional 3D-TOF-MRA and computed tomography angiography (CTA).

The influence of the magnetic susceptibility effect is small in the central part of Carotid Wallstent and in PRECISE, and large in the Carotid Wallstent at the both ends. The influence of RF-shielding effect was large at PRECISE, where the Ernst angle was greatly shifted while the effect is no longer influenced at Carotid Wallstent. Both Carotid Wallstent and PRECISE made imaging capability improved by optimizing the imaging parameters.

During clinical imaging of patients post-carotid artery stenting (CAS) using our protocol, the ability to visualize blood vessels was improved. Thus, we demonstrated that the ability of 3D-TOF-MRA post-CAS was improved via optimizing imaging parameters.

MBD3 facilitates the initiation of neural stem cell reprogramming. Melanoma originates in melanocytes derived from neural crest stem cells; therefore, we investigated the role of MBD3 in melanoma. MBD3 was overexpressed in melanoma compared with pigmented nevi. MBD3 knockdown had no effect on the proliferation of melanoma cells (A375 and A2058 cells). Contrarily, it significantly reduced the migration and invasion of A375 cells, but had no significant effect on A2058 cells. Furthermore, MBD3 knockdown reduced N-cadherin protein levels and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity in A375 cells, but had no significant effect on A2058 cells. Based on these results, the MBD3 expression level may be a useful biomarker for the diagnosis of melanoma. Thus, MBD3 has potential as a novel therapeutic target for some melanoma patients.
