Background: Fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP), a type-II transmembrane serine protease, is associated with wound healing, cancer-associated fibroblasts, and chronic fibrosing diseases. However, its expression in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains unclear. Therefore, this study investigated FAP expression and localization in DVT. Methods: We performed pathological analyses of the aspirated thrombi of patients with DVT (n = 14), classifying thrombotic areas in terms of fresh, cellular lysis, and organizing reaction components. The organizing reaction included endothelialization and fibroblastic reaction. We immunohistochemically examined FAP-expressed areas and cells, and finally analyzed FAP expression in cultured dermal fibroblasts. Results: All the aspirated thrombi showed a heterogeneous mixture of at least two of the three thrombotic areas. Specifically, 83 % of aspirated thrombi showed fresh and organizing reaction components. Immunohistochemical expression of FAP was restricted to the organizing area. Double immunofluorescence staining showed that FAP in the thrombi was mainly expressed in vimentin-positive or α-smooth muscle actin-positive fibroblasts. Some CD163-positive macrophages expressed FAP. FAP mRNA and protein levels were higher in fibroblasts with low-proliferative activity cultured under 0.1 % fetal bovine serum (FBS) than that under 10 % FBS. Fibroblasts cultured in 10 % FBS showed a significant decrease in FAP mRNA levels following supplementation with hemin, but not with thrombin. Conclusions: The heterogeneous composition of venous thrombi suggests a multistep thrombus formation process in human DVT. Further, fibroblasts or myofibroblasts may express FAP during the organizing process. FAP expression may be higher in fibroblasts with low proliferative activity.

Aim: To investigate the role of pentraxin 3 (PTX3) in atherosclerotic disease progression and plaque destabilization, as well as in coronary restenosis after directional coronary atherectomy (DCA). Materials and methods: PTX3 contents of early and advanced atherosclerotic lesions of the aorta obtained at autopsy were determined by ELISA and Western blot. Also, coronary plaques of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or stable angina pectoris (SAP) obtained by DCA were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for PTX3. The effects of PTX3 on smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and thrombogenesis were investigated with cultured human coronary artery SMCs and a flow chamber system, respectively. Results: Advanced atherosclerotic lesions contained a significantly larger amount of PTX3 than early lesions (ELISA: 9.96 ± 2.77 ng/100 mg tissue, n = 8 vs 0.24 ± 0.18 ng/100 mg tissue, n = 6, P = 0.0097). Also, ACS plaques contained a significantly larger amount of PTX3 than SAP plaques (PTX3 immunohistochemistry–positive area percentage: 2.88 ± 0.53 %, n = 22 vs 0.67 ± 0.27 %, n = 23, P = 0.0009). Curiously, the patients who would remain free of post-DCA restenosis (n = 19) had plaques with a significantly higher PTX3 immunohistochemistry–positive area percentage than those who would develop restenosis (n = 12) (2.32 ± 0.49 % vs 0.49 ± 0.17 %, P = 0.002). In the mechanistic part of the study, PTX3 inhibited SMC proliferation and migration. PTX3 also inhibited platelet thrombus formation in the condition simulating arterial blood flow. Conclusions: PTX3 is increased in advanced (vs early) atherosclerotic lesions and unstable (vs stable) coronary plaques. The inhibitory effects of PTX3 on SMCs and thrombogenesis suggest that intraplaque PTX3 might have atheroprotective effects.

Background The thrombogenic potential of cells within atherosclerotic plaques is critical in the formation of a coronary thrombus. We hypothesized that a combination of inflammatory and hypoxic stimuli enhances tissue factor (TF) expression and glycolysis in cells in atherosclerotic plaques and contributes to coronary thrombus formation. Aims To identify TF- and hexokinase (HK)-II-expressing cells in coronary atherosclerotic plaques and thrombi and determine the effects of combined inflammatory and hypoxic stimuli and glycolysis on TF expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cell-derived macrophages. Methods We immunohistochemically assessed TF and HK-II expression in stable (n = 20) and unstable (n = 24) human coronary plaques and aspirated acute coronary thrombi (n = 15). The macrophages were stimulated with tumor necrosis factor-α, interferon-γ, or interleukin-10 under normoxic (21% O2) or hypoxic (1% O2) conditions, and TF expression was assessed. Results TF and HK-II expression were increased in unstable plaques compared with stable plaques. The number of CD68- and HK-II-immunopositive cells positively correlated with the number of TF-immunopositive cells. TF- and HK-II-expressing macrophages, which expressed M1- or M2-like markers, were involved in platelet-fibrin thrombus formation in ruptured plaques. The combination of inflammatory and hypoxic conditions additively augmented TF expression and procoagulant activity in the cultured macrophages. Inhibition of glycolysis with 2-deoxyglucose reduced the augmented TF expression and procoagulant activity. Conclusion Combined inflammatory and hypoxic conditions in atherosclerotic plaques may markedly enhance procoagulant activity in macrophages and contribute to coronary thrombus formation following plaque disruption. Macrophage TF expression may be associated with glycolysis.

Treating disseminated cryptococcosis in people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is challenging due to the limited availability of effective antifungals. Although isavuconazole has antifungal activity against Cryptococcus neoformans, clinical evidence is sparse because this new drug has not been approved for the treatment of cryptococcosis in the US or Europe. Here, we report a case of HIV-associated cryptococcal meningitis that relapsed during maintenance therapy with fluconazole. A Japanese man in his 20s was diagnosed with HIV-1 infection and cryptococcal meningitis. The patient was intolerant to flucytosine and was treated with liposomal amphotericin B monotherapy for 2 weeks as induction therapy, followed by fluconazole (400 mg/day) for 3 months as consolidation therapy. Four months after starting maintenance therapy with fluconazole (200 mg/day), the patient presented with fever and cough, leading to readmission to our hospital. Biopsies of a nodule in the left lung and a left cervical lymph node led to the diagnosis of disseminated cryptococcosis (pulmonary cryptococcosis and cryptococcal lymphadenitis). Although a combination of fluconazole and liposomal amphotericin B was ineffective, the patient was successfully treated with an induction therapy combining isavuconazole and liposomal amphotericin B, followed by a maintenance therapy with isavuconazole. The patient received isavuconazole orally except for loading doses, achieving stable blood concentration levels. Moreover, we observed that blood levels of amphotericin B increased gradually with repeated administration. Therefore, isavuconazole may have a potential role in the treatment of cryptococcosis, and clinical trials involving larger numbers of cases are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.

<i><b>Objective</b></i> : To determine the usefulness of rapid on-site cytology evaluation (ROSE) and perform a detailed evaluation of cases with atypical cells.<i><b>Study Design</b></i> : The study was conducted in 254 subjects who underwent ROSE during transbronchial biopsy (TBB) or endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA), with the diagnoses eventually confirmed by histopathology.The diagnostic accuracy was determined from the concordance rate of histological diagnosis in cases categorized as “suspicious for malignancy” and compared between ROSE and the final cytology report (FCR). The malignancy rate for each ROSE assessment was determined. Next, detailed examination of the findings in cases with atypical cells, including the background, pattern of arrangement of the cells, presence/absence of large solitary cells, and cytoplasmic findings was conducted and compared between the “benign” and “malignant” groups. Furthermore, the diagnostic accuracy of ROSE was re-evaluated by adding significant findings in cases with atypical cells to the “malignant” group.<i><b>Results</b></i> : The diagnostic accuracy of ROSE was high ; however, the malignancy rate associated with the finding of atypical cells tended to be as high as 64.3% (18/28). The atypical cells in the “malignant” group exhibited significant necrosis and large solitary cells, and re-evaluation of ROSE taking these two findings into account enhanced its sensitivity to the same level as that of FCR and reduced the malignancy rate to 42.9% (6/14) for atypical cells.<i><b>Conclusion</b></i> : The diagnostic accuracy of ROSE was similar to that of FCR. Presence of a necrotic background and large solitary cells could improve the diagnostic accuracy in cases with atypical cells.
