Abstract
Abstract
Background
The AFIRE (Atrial Fibrillation and Ischemic Events With Rivaroxaban in Patients With Stable Coronary Artery Disease) trial showed both noninferiority for efficacy and superiority for safety endpoints of rivaroxaban monotherapy compared to rivaroxaban plus antiplatelet therapy (combination therapy) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD). However, no accumulating evidence regarding efficacy and safety of these fixed-dose direct oral anticoagulant therapy was available in underweight and obese patients.
Purpose
The aim of this post-hoc analysis of the AFIRE trial was to evaluate outcomes of rivaroxaban monotherapy (vs. combination therapy) in patients with AF and stable CAD across body mass index (BMI) categories.
Methods
Patients were categorized into groups 1 (underweight: BMI of <18.5 kg/m2), 2 (normal: BMI of 18.5 to <25 kg/m2), 3 (overweight: BMI of 25 to <30 kg/m2), and 4 (obesity: BMI of ≥30 kg/m2). Efficacy (a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina requiring revascularization, stroke, or systemic embolism) and safety (major bleeding defined according to International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis criteria) were compared between rivaroxaban monotherapy and combination therapy across BMI categories.
Results
We analyzed 2,054 patients with a median age of 75.0 (interquartile range [IQR], 69 to 80)) years old and CHA2DS2-VASc of 4 (IQR, 3 to 5). Group 1 through 4 included 72 (3.5%), 1,158 (56.4%), 680 (33.1%), 144 (7.0%) patients and 62.3%, 52.3%, 36.2%, and 30.3% were received reduced dose of rivaroxaban, respectively. Although the sample sizes for group 1 and 4 were limited, monotherapy was superior to combination therapy for efficacy in group 2 (hazard ratio [HR], 0.64; 95% CI, 0.44 to 0.95) and safety in group 3 (HR, 0.25; 95% CI, 0.10 to 0.62), whereas a significant difference in the endpoints was not observed in the other BMI categories. Impact of monotherapy on endpoints did not have a significant interaction in BMI.
Conclusions
Rivaroxaban monotherapy had similar effect on prognosis across all BMI categories in patients with AF and stable CAD.

Abstract
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) is a rare and immune-mediated inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) that can be triggered by infections and vaccinations. To date, only anecdotal case studies have reported the association between ADEM incidence and seasonal influenza vaccines, and multiple studies have found no association. This study aimed to investigate the association between the incidence of ADEM and seasonal influenza vaccines in a real-world setting using data from the United States Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Further, propensity score matching and disproportionality analysis was performed by calculating the adjusted reporting odds ratio (ROR) of reported ADEM cases associated with seasonal influenza vaccines using multiple logistic regression. Additionally, we analysed the time-to-onset using Weibull shape parameters (WSPs). The VAERS database contained 390,352 adverse events reported from January 2011 to December 2020. The ROR of seasonal influenza vaccines for ADEM was 3.02 (95% confidence interval: 1.72-5.33). The median duration (interquartile range) of ADEM was 11.0 (5.0-33.0) days. The median duration of ADEM induced by egg culture-based influenza vaccine (Egg-based vaccine) and cell culture-based influenza vaccine (Cell-based vaccine) was 10.0 (5.0-24.0) and 91.0 (79.0-125.0) days (P < 0.001), respectively. Only Cell-based cases had WSP β > 1, indicating a wear-out failure type. The incidence of ADEM within 30 days after administration of egg- and Cell-based vaccines was 78.6% and 0.0%, respectively. Our findings indicate that ADEM incidence is associated with seasonal influenza vaccines; thus, careful monitoring of ADEM is required within the first month of Egg-based vaccination and after two months of Cell-based vaccination. Neurologists and general practitioners should exercise caution, as the timing for careful monitoring varies depending on the vaccine type.

Abstract
PURPOSE We describe the epidemiology of invasive Haemophilus influenzae disease (IHD) among adults in Japan. METHODS Data for 200 adult IHD patients in 2014-2018 were analyzed. The capsular type of H. influenzae was determined by bacterial agglutination and polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) was identified by PCR. RESULTS The annual incidence of IHD (cases per 100,000 population) was 0.12 for age 15-64 years and 0.88 for age ≥ 65 years in 2018. The median age was 77 years, and 73.5% were aged ≥ 65 years. About one-fourth of patients were associated with immunocompromising condition. The major presentations were pneumonia, followed by bacteremia, meningitis and other than pneumonia or meningitis (other diseases). The case fatality rate (CFR) was 21.2% for all cases, and was significantly higher in the ≥ 65-year group (26.1%) than in the 15-64-year group (7.5%) (p = 0.013). The percentage of cases with pneumonia was significantly higher in the ≥ 65-year group than in the 15-64-year group (p < 0.001). The percentage of cases with bacteremia was significantly higher in the 15-64-year group than in the ≥ 65-year group (p = 0.027). Of 200 isolates, 190 (95.0%) were NTHi strains, and the other strains were encapsulated strains. 71 (35.5%) were resistant to ampicillin, but all were susceptible to ceftriaxone. CONCLUSION The clinical presentations of adult IHD patients varied widely; about three-fourths of patients were age ≥ 65 years and their CFR was high. Our findings support preventing strategies for IHD among older adults, including the development of NTHi vaccine.

Abstract
We investigated the effect of increased pH induced by acid suppressants on the viability of non–Helicobacter pylori helicobacters (NHPHs) within parietal cell intracellular canaliculi and fundic glandular lumina by immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, quantitative PCR, urea breath tests, and using a bilayer culture system. Three months before the experiment, mice were infected with the NHPH H. suis and then treated with famotidine (2 mg/kg body weight [BW], once daily), lansoprazole (30 mg/kg BW, once daily), or vonoprazan (20 mg/kg BW, once daily) for 3 days. Immunohistochemical studies using the TUNEL method, quantitative PCR analysis, and urea breath tests were performed. PCR analysis showed a decrease in the NHPH quantity after vonoprazan treatment. Urea breath tests revealed a significant decrease in the NHPH urease activity after vonoprazan, lansoprazole, and famotidine treatments for 3 days; however, 4 days after the treatment, urease activity reversed to the pretreatment level for each treatment group. Electron microscopy revealed an increase in the damaged NHPH after vonoprazan treatment. The TUNEL method revealed apoptotic NHPH within parietal cells after vonoprazan treatment. The bilayer culture results demonstrated that NHPH moved more quickly at a pH of 4.0 than at a pH of 3.0, 5.0, and 6.5, and electron microscopy revealed a change from the spiral form to the coccoid form under near-neutral pH conditions. We thus proposed that acid suppressants, especially vonoprazan, induce NHPH damage by altering pH.

Abstract
Background Few prospective studies have used liquid biopsy testing in RAS-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), and its clinical significance remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to carry out a biomarker analysis by liquid biopsy using updated data of the phase II trial of FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab as first-line chemotherapy for RAS-mutant mCRC. Materials and methods A total of 64 patients who received modified FOLFOXIRI regimen (irinotecan 150 mg/m2, oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2, levofolinate 200 mg/m2, and fluorouracil 2400 mg/m2) plus bevacizumab biweekly were enrolled. The primary endpoint was the objective response rate (ORR). Plasma samples were collected at pre-treatment, 8 weeks after treatment, and progression in participants included in the biomarker study. The levels of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) and specific KRAS and NRAS variants were evaluated using real-time PCR assays. Results There were 62 patients (median age: 62.5 years, 92% performance status 0, 27% right side) who were assessable for efficacy and 51 for biomarker analysis. ORR was 75.8% (95% confidence interval 65.1% to 86.5%). The median progression-free survival was 12.1 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was 30.2 months. In 78% of patients, RAS mutations disappeared in the ctDNA at 8 weeks after treatment; these patients tended to have better outcomes than those with RAS mutations. Interestingly, RAS mutations remained undetectable during progression in 62% of patients. Survival analysis indicated that the median OS from progression was significantly longer in patients with RAS mutation clearance than in those with RAS mutation in the ctDNA at disease progression (15.1 versus 7.3 months, hazard ratio: 0.21, P = 0.0046). Conclusions Our biomarker study demonstrated no RAS mutations in ctDNA at disease progression in 62% of patients with RAS-mutant mCRC. Both OS and post-progression survival were better in patients with clearance of RAS mutations in ctDNA after triplet-based chemotherapy. First-line FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab is effective for RAS-mutant mCRC with comparable efficacy in elderly patients. RAS mutations disappeared in ctDNA after intensive chemotherapy in 62% of patients with mCRC with RAS-mutant tumours. Survival time was longer in patients with RAS mutation clearance than in those with RAS mutations in ctDNA.

Abstract
Vincristine (VCR) is an important drug used in R-CHOP regimens for the treatment of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The purpose of this study was to examine whether the administration method affects the incidence of VCR-induced peripheral neuropathy. We investigated the ratio of VCR-induced peripheral neuropathy during rapid intravenous infusion and intravenous drip infusion. A total of 71 patients who had received six or more courses of R-CHOP from January, 2015 to December, 2016 at Komaki City Hospital and Ogaki Municipal Hospital were retrospectively investigated. Peripheral neuropathy was observed in 27/39 patients (69 %) and 24/32 (75 %) in rapid intravenous infusion and intravenous drip infusion of VCR, respectively (P = 0.79). Peripheral neuropathy was observed at a high frequency in this study. Additionally, there was no difference in frequency of peripheral neuropathy due to the difference in administration method. In both groups, the degree of peripheral neuropathy was grade 1 and grade 2 in most patients. However, in rapid intravenous infusion, grade 3 peripheral neuropathy was observed. Some cases required dose reduction and discontinuation in rapid intravenous infusion. In contrast, there were no discontinuing patients in the intravenous drip infusion. Therefore, it was suggested that intravenous drip infusion of VCR reduced serious peripheral neuropathy because the ratio requiring dose reduction and discontinuation was less than that in the rapid group. In conclusion, this study is informative as there are few reports focusing on the administration method of vincristine.

Abstract
Genetic analysis and culturing techniques for gastric non-Helicobacter pylori Helicobacter (NHPH) are progressing. NHPH is reported to accompany nodular gastritis, gastric MALT lymphoma, and mild gastritis. However, only a few gastric cancer cases infected by NHPH have been reported. PCR analysis specific for NHPH and H. pylori was performed for DNA from gastric mucosa of 282 Korean gastric cancer patients, who were treated with endoscopic submucosal dissection. For more precise strain detection of NHPH, NHPH-positive mucosa was stained by immunohistochemistry specific for Helicobacter suis. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) classification was analyzed for these 3 gastric cancer sub-groups by in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry. Among 281 patients, 3 patients (1.1%) were positive for NHPH. One patient (Patient 1) was also positive for H. pylori by PCR, another patient (Patient 3) was positive for serum IgG for H. pylori, and the other patient (Patient 2) had no evidence for H. pylori infection. Gastric mucosa of Patients 2 and 3 were positive for H. suis staining. All three NHPH-positive gastric cancers were located in the antrum, and belonged to the Chromosomal Instability Type of TCGA classification. Gastric NHPH can be a cause of gastric cancer, although likely with lower pathogenesis than H. pylori.

Background
Impella-related hemolysis is a well-known complication, which we sometimes experience in the clinical practice depending on various hemodynamic status including right ventricular impairment.
Methods
We enrolled consecutive patients with cardiogenic shock who received Impella support between March 2018 and December 2020. The association between pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) immediately after Impella insertion and the occurrence of hemolysis was investigated. Hemolytic event was defined as detection of hemoglobinuria and elevated lactate dehydrogenase level over 2.5 folds of upper normal range.
Results
Among 38 patients (median 71 y; men 61%; LVEF 29%) included in this study, hemolysis occurred in 18 patients (47%). Incidence of hemolysis was significantly higher in the low PAPi group (< 1.3) compared with the normal PAPi group (≥ 1.3) (67% vs. 33%, p = 0.0176; Figure 1). The low PAPi (<1.3) was significantly associated with the occurrence of hemolysis with a hazard ratio of 5.71 (95% confidence interval 1.09–29.91, p = 0.0313) adjusted for other clinically significant variables.
Conclusions
In patients with right ventricular impairment with lower PAPi, it might be encouraged to be aware of the risk of hemolysis, maintaining volume status and considering inotropes administration. Abstract Figure.

Abstract
Motivation is one of the most important affecting rehabilitation outcomes. In present study, we propose a novel method to evaluate intrinsic motivation. We conducted experiments of simulated cognitive rehabilitation exercises. The results of these experiments demonstrate that intrinsic motivation is correlated to valence. Furthermore, CIM (Changes in intrinsic motivation) can be detected with up to 80% accuracy, using physiological states. The result showed that this method more precisely detects CIM than occupational therapists.Clinical Relevance-The proposed method enables to evaluate changes in intrinsic motivation during cognitive rehabilitation without disturbing or suspending rehabilitation.
