Objective This study aimed to determine the prevalence and endoscopic features of zinc acetate dihydrate tablet-associated gastric lesions. Methods We retrospectively examined the endoscopic features of 47 patients taking zinc acetate dihydrate tablets who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Results Gastric mucosal alterations, including redness, erosions, ulcers, and adhesion of the white coat, were observed in 29 of 47 patients (61.7%). Among patients with gastric lesions (group A), there was a significantly higher percentage of symptomatic patients in comparison to patients without lesions (group B) (65.5% vs. 22.2%; p<0.01). The background characteristics of the two groups did not differ to a statistically significant extent. On esophagogastroduodenoscopy, mucosal redness (n=27, 93.1%), erosions (n=26, 90.0%), adhesion of the white coat (n=25, 86.2%), and ulcers (n=9, 31.0%) were observed. None of the 19 patients who previously underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy had gastric lesions before starting zinc acetate dihydrate. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy was performed after the cessation of zinc acetate dihydrate intake in six patients, and revealed the resolution of gastric lesions. Conclusion Gastric lesions were observed in 29 of 47 patients who were taking zinc acetate dihydrate tablets. The most common endoscopic findings were mucosal redness (93.1%), erosions (90.0%), adhesion of the white coat (86.2%), and ulcers (31.0%). Although the exact pathogenesis is uncertain, we believe that understanding the unique manifestations of this gastric lesion will help physicians manage adverse events in patients taking zinc acetate dihydrate tablets.

Although high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) is the standard therapy for primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), the prognosis remains poor. Because 90% of PCNSL is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) -T cell therapy is expected to be beneficial. However, there are limited reports on CAR-T cell therapy for PCNSL because of the concern of neurotoxicity. Here, we report a case of relapsed PCNSL treated with anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy. A 40-year-old woman presenting with visual disturbance in her left eye was initially diagnosed with bilateral uveitis. Her histological diagnosis was DLBCL, and she was positive for CD19. Although she received chemotherapy including HD-MTX, the tumor relapsed in her right occipital lobe. She underwent remission induction therapy and then anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) grade 2 occurred, but there were no complications of CAR-T cell-related encephalopathy syndrome (CRES). She has achieved complete response for more than 1 year. Anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapy is a revolutionary immunotherapy for treating relapsed or refractory (R/R) B lineage malignancies. Although there are concerns regarding CRS and CRES in central nervous system lymphoma, the use of anti-CD19 CAR-T cells to treat R/R PCNSL is safe and feasible.

Primary intraocular lymphomas frequently develop into central nervous system lymphomas and vice versa. This study reviewed 22 consecutive patients with primary intraocular lymphoma diagnosed by immunostaining of vitrectomy cell blocks, and examined whether they developed central nervous system lymphoma. Seventeen patients developed central nervous system lymphoma: 3 patients developed intraocular and central nervous system lymphoma simultaneously, 9 patients developed central nervous system lymphoma 1 month to 5 years (median, 3 months) after intraocular lymphoma, and 5 patients developed central nervous system lymphoma preceding the diagnosis of intraocular lymphoma by 3 months to 9 years and 8 months (median, 1.5 years). In contrast, 5 patients did not develop central nervous system lymphoma: 2 patients did not develop local recurrence or central nervous system lymphoma in the follow-up period of 5 years and 11 years, respectively, after vitrectomy alone without additional local or systemic treatment. The remaining 3 patients with intraocular lymphoma had insufficient follow-up periods to determine the prognosis. The results of CD5 immunostaining of vitrectomy specimens were found in pathology reports of 8 patients: 3 patients with CD5-positive large cells and 4 patients with CD5-negative large cells developed central nervous system lymphoma. In summary, only a small number of patients did not develop central nervous system lymphoma based on long-term follow-up after vitrectomy alone. CD5 was not a marker of central nervous system involvement in this study population.

A 74-year-old man who had been administered trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for three weeks suffered from drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome/drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DIHS/DRESS). In the early stage of the clinical course, he developed renal dysfunction. A renal biopsy showed granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis accompanying the proliferation of human herpes virus (HHV)-6 in tubular epithelial cells. With corticosteroid therapy, the systemic rash and renal function gradually improved. The present patient is the second case of DIHS/DRESS demonstrating a possible reactivation of HHV-6 in the renal tissue. The clinical role of viral reactivation in DIHS/DRESS must be further elucidated.
