This investigator-initiated, phase 2, single-arm trial primarily assessed the efficacy of G47∆, a triple-mutated, third-generation oncolytic herpes simplex virus type 1, in 19 adult patients with residual or recurrent, supratentorial glioblastoma after radiation therapy and temozolomide (UMIN-CTR Clinical Trial Registry UMIN000015995). G47Δ was administered intratumorally repeatedly for up to six doses. The primary endpoint 1-yr survival rate G47∆ initiation 84.2% (95% confidence interval,...

Abstract Here, we report the results of a phase I/II, single-arm study (UMIN-CTR Clinical Trial Registry UMIN000002661) assessing safety (primary endpoint) G47∆, triple-mutated oncolytic herpes simplex virus type 1, in Japanese adults with recurrent/progressive glioblastoma despite radiation and temozolomide therapies. G47Δ was administered intratumorally at 3 × 10 8 pfu (low dose) or 1 9 (set dose), twice to identical coordinates within 5–14 days. Thirteen patients completed treatment dose,...

The management of vestibular schwannoma (VS) remains controversial. One commonly cited advantage microsurgery over other treatment modalities is that tumor removal provides the greatest chance long-term cure. However, there are very few publications with follow-up to support this assertion. purpose current study report risk recurrence among a large historical cohort patients who underwent microsurgical resection.

Endothelial cells (ECs) display distinct structural and functional characteristics depending on the tissue developmental stage; however, development of tissue-specific ECs remains poorly understood. Here, we describe hepatic sinusoids in mice based expression hyaluronan receptors Stab2 Lyve-1. Flk-1+ around liver bud begin to express at embryonic day (E) 9.5, before formation vascular lumen. Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial (HSECs) Lyve-1 E10.5, both markers continue be expressed HSECs...

Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) are a high-risk factor for life-threatening subarachnoid hemorrhage. Their etiology, however, remains mostly unknown at present. We conducted screening sporadic somatic mutations in 65 IA tissues (54 saccular and 11 fusiform aneurysms) paired blood samples by whole-exome targeted deep sequencing. identified multiple signaling genes examined their impact on downstream pathways gene expression vitro an arterial dilatation model mice vivo. 16 that were mutated least...

Abstract BACKGROUND: Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is among the few therapeutic options for glioblastoma that recurs after standard radiation and chemotherapy, but its efficacy has been limited. METHODS: Since November 2007, authors have modified clinical target volume by adding a 0.5‐ to 1‐cm margin gadolinium‐enhanced area (extended field SRS), in contrast conventional SRS using no set volume. A total of 35 recurred lesions 9 patients were treated with between December 1990 January 14...

Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) is a rare astrocytic neoplasm of the brain. Some PXAs are accompanied by anaplastic features and difficult to manage because frequent recurrences that lead early death. No previous reports have demonstrated consistent efficacy adjuvant radiotherapy or chemotherapy for this disease. We report case PXA with treated stereotactic irradiation (STI) resulted in long-term control repeatedly recurring nodules throughout neuraxis. A 47-year-old woman presented an...

Restoration of cranial nerve functions during acoustic neuroma (AN) surgery is crucial for good outcome. The effects minimizing the injury period and maximizing recuperation were investigated in 89 patients who consecutively underwent retrosigmoid unilateral AN surgery.Cochlear facial evaluated by use continuous auditory evoked dorsal cochlear nucleus action potential monitoring root exit zone-elicited compound muscle monitoring, respectively.

We treated a 54-year-old Japanese female with recurrent radiation-induced osteosarcoma arising from left occipital skull, by reactor-based boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). Her tumor grew rapidly subcutaneous and epidural extension. She eventually could not walk because of cerebellar ataxia. The was inoperable radioresistant. BNCT showed marked initial therapeutic effect: the subcutaneous/epidural reduced without radiation damage scalp except hair loss patient again only 3 weeks after...

The prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) largely depends on the control lymph node metastases. We evaluate therapeutic efficacy G47Δ, a third-generation oncolytic herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), in mouse tongue cancer models. Intratumoral injection with G47Δ prolonged survival all orthotopic models investigated. In both athymic and immunocompetent models, injected into swiftly traffics to draining cervical nodes suppresses KLN205-MUC1 model, which metastatic cascade that...

Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) transduce signals through FGF receptors (FGFRs) and have pleiotropic functions. Besides signal-transducing FGFRs, cysteine-rich receptor (Cfr; Glg1) is also known to bind some FGFs, although its physiological functions remain unknown. In this study, we generated Cfr-deficient mice found that of them die perinatally, show retardation, tail malformation cleft palate. These phenotypes are strikingly similar those Fgf18-deficient mice, revealed interaction...

Tissue-resident macrophages and bone marrow (BM)-derived monocytes play a crucial role in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis; however, their contribution to recovery from acute injury is not fully understood. To address this issue, we generated an murine liver model using hepatocyte-specific Cflar-deficient (CflarHep-low) mice. Cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein expression was down-regulated hepatocytes, which thereby increased susceptibility hepatocytes death receptor–induced apoptosis....
