Abstract
Backward-angle meson electroproduction above the resonance region, which was previously ignored, is anticipated to offer unique access to the three quark plus sea component of the nucleon wave function. In this Letter, we present the first complete separation of the four electromagnetic structure functions above the resonance region in exclusive ω electroproduction off the proton, ep→e^{'}pω, at central Q^{2} values of 1.60, 2.45 GeV^{2}, at W=2.21 GeV. The results of our pioneering -u≈-u_{min} study demonstrate the existence of a unanticipated backward-angle cross section peak and the feasibility of full L/T/LT/TT separations in this never explored kinematic territory. At Q^{2}=2.45 GeV^{2}, the observed dominance of σ_{T} over σ_{L}, is qualitatively consistent with the collinear QCD description in the near-backward regime, in which the scattering amplitude factorizes into a hard subprocess amplitude and baryon to meson transition distribution amplitudes: universal nonperturbative objects only accessible through backward-angle kinematics.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Fractional flow reserve derived from CT-coronary angiography (FFRCT) accurately identifies ischaemic vessels which may be associated with clinical outcomes. Its predictive value in grey zone FFRCT values between 0.7–0.8 is not defined. The technique permits estimation of burden of ischaemic myocardium subtended by FFRCT significant vessels.
Purpose
To evaluate the prognostic value and incremental benefit of FFRCT defined ischaemic myocardial burden when compared to FFRCT alone.
Methods
This is a subanalysis of NXT (Analysis of Coronary Blood-Flow Using CTA:Next-Steps), a prospective study of stable coronary artery disease (CAD) patients referred for invasive angiography (ICA) undergoing invasive FFR, CTA and FFRCT in whom treating physicians had been blinded to FFRCT results. Primary endpoint, defined as a composite of non-fatal myocardial infarction and any revascularisation, was determined in 206 patients (age 64±9.5 years, 64% male) and 618 vessels. Burden of ischaemic myocardium was defined as percentage of myocardium subtended beyond the point at which a vessel's FFRCT becomes ≤0.8 as estimated by APPROACH score (FFRCT-APPROACH). In significant FFRCT vessels, the predictive value and incremental benefit of FFRCT-APPROACH was compared with significant FFRCT (≤0.8) for primary endpoint as measured by area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC). Significant ischaemic myocardial burden was defined as >10%. The incidence and relationship between the primary endpoint with each 10% increase in FFRCT-APPROACH and 0.05-unit decrease in FFRCT values ≤0.8 was determined.
Results
Significant FFRCT was identified in 52.9% of patients (109/206) and 29.3% of vessels (181/618). At 4.7 years median follow-up the incidence of the primary endpoint in vessels with significant FFRCT-APPROACH was 58.9% (96/163) which was comparable with vessels with significant FFRCT (55.2%,100/181; P=0.50). The predictive value of FFRCT-APPROACH for the primary endpoint was comparable with FFRCT (AUC 0.72 [95% CI 0.65–0.79] vs 0.71 [0.63–0.78], P=0.79). When combined, there was significant predictive improvement compared with FFRCT alone (AUC 0.77 [0.70–0.84]; P=0.01). The largest incremental benefit upon FFRCT was observed in vessels with FFRCT values in the grey zone between 0.70–0.80 (AUC 0.76 [0.65–0.86] vs 0.62 [0.48–0.74]; P<0.01). Each 10% increase in FFRCT-APPROACH (Adjusted-HR 1.36; 95% CI 1.16–1.60; P<0.001) and each 0.05-unit FFRCT decrease (Adjusted-HR 1.42; 1.19–1.70; P<0.001) were independently associated with significant increase in the incidence of the primary-endpoint.
Conclusion
In patients with stable CAD referred for ICA, the burden of ischaemic myocardium subtended by FFRCT significant vessels predicted non-fatal myocardial infarction and future revascularisation. This provided significant incremental benefit when used in combination with FFRCT particularly at FFRCT values in the grey zone between 0.7 to 0.8.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent randomized, placebo-controlled trial in patients with type 2 diabetes demonstrated that the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduced mortality, cardiovascular events and hospitalization for heart failure. However, those trials were not specialized design to investigate the effect of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure, in particular with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate the drug efficacy of luseogliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, compared with voglibose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, using brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in type 2 diabetes patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Methods
This study was a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized-controlled trial, comparing luseogliflozin 2.5 mg once daily or voglibose 0.2 mg three times daily in patients with type 2 diabetes suffering from heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (left ventricular ejection fraction >45% and BNP ≥35 pg/ml2) in a 1:1 randomization fashion. Randomization was undertaken using a computer-generated random sequence web response system. The primary outcome was the difference from baseline in BNP after 12 weeks of treatment between two drugs. The key secondary outcomes were the change from baseline in left ventricular ejection fraction and E/e' in echocardiographic parameters, body weight, glycohemoglobin level after 12 weeks of treatment. The safety outcomes included the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events, hypoglycemic adverse events, and urinary tract infection.
Results
Between December 2015 and September 2018, 173 patients from 16 hospitals and clinics have been included in this study. Of those, 83 patients were assigned to receive luseogliflozin and 82 to receive voglibose. There was no significant difference in the reduction in the BNP concentration after 12 weeks from baseline between the two groups; the ratio of the average values at week 12 to the baseline value was 0.91 in the luseoglifllzin group as compared with 0.98 in the voglibose group (percent change, −9.0% vs. −1.9%, ratio of change with luseogliflozin vs. voglibose, 0.93; 95% confidence interval, 0.78 to 1.10; p=0.26). The key secondary outcomes including left ventricular ejection fraction, E/e', body weight, glycohemoglobin level and the safety outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups.
Conclusions
In type 2 diabetes patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, the administration of luseogliflozin did not lead to a significant reduction in the BNP concentration than that of voglibose. Left ventricular ejection fraction, E/e', body weight and glycohemoglobin level after 12 weeks of treatment, comparing with at baseline did not differ significantly between the two groups.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
As a residual cardiovascular risk, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is of great interest in lipid management. Native HDL has an anti-atherogenic role, while oxidized HDL (oxHDL) has atherogenic property because of reduced anti-inflammatory properties compared with native HDL. Meanwhile, recent studies showed that rapid progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC), a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis, was associated with greater incidence of cardiovascular events. However, the role of oxHDL in the pathogenesis of CAC remains unclear.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the annual change in oxHDL and the progression of CAC (Agatston score) in a substudy of prospective multicenter randomized study.
Methods
In the principal study, patients with a CAC score of 1 to 999 were treated with pitavastatin with/without eicosapentaenoic acid. Measurement of CAC with MDCT and a blood test were performed at baseline and at the 1-year follow-up. The principal study showed 30–40% of annual change in CAC in all patients and no difference in the progression of CAC among treatment groups. In this substudy (n=140), patients were divided into 2 groups: CAC progression (change in Agatston score of >0, n=103) and no CAC progression (n=37). The serum concentration of oxHDL was measured using an antibody against oxidized human apoA-I with ELISA. The difference in oxHDL between patients with hypercholesterolemia and healthy subjects (n=30) was also evaluated.
Results
OxHDL levels were significantly lower in healthy subjects than in patients with hypercholesterolemia (150 [107–176] and 167 [132–246], respectively; median [25th-75th percentile], U/ml) (p=0.006). The baseline log-transformed oxHDL level was correlated with total cholesterol (r=0.21, p=0.01), HDL-cholesterol (r=0.33, p<0.01), and triglycerides (r=−0.21, p=0.01), but not correlated with age, body mass index, hemoglobinA1c, LDL-cholesterol, serum creatinine, or high-sensitivity C-reactive protein. After treatment, the oxHDL level significantly decreased from 167 (132–246) at baseline to 122 (103–149) (median [25th–75th percentile], U/ml) (p<0.001). The annual change in CAC was significantly positively associated with changes in oxHDL (r=0.17, p=0.04), triglycerides (r=0.17, p=0.04), and hsCRP (r=0.22, p=0.01) but not associated with changes in LDL-C or HDL-C. Multiple logistic analysis demonstrated that the decrease in oxHDL per 10 U/ml was independently associated with CAC progression after adjusting for variables including baseline oxHDL, LDL-cholesterol, Agatston score and current smoking (odds ratio, 0.95; 95% confidence interval, 0.90–0.99; p=0.04).
Conclusion
The decrease in oxHDL is associated with the attenuation of CAC progression, suggesting that oxHDL is a potential target for preventing atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Development of chemoradiation therapy (CRT) has improved mortality in patients with cancer. Whereas, it is emerging problem that cancer-survivors suffer from cardiovascular diseases, and the association between modern CRT and the increase in future cardiovascular events is suggested. Meanwhile, previous studies showed that thoracic aortic calcification (TAC) detected by computed tomography (CT), a marker of atherosclerosis, was associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events. However, the influence of CRT on TAC progression remains unclear.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether CRT would exacerbate TAC.
Methods
A total of 68 patients who treated lung cancer at our hospital between 2011 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed (mean 62 year-old, male 78%): 35 patients underwent surgical treatment after induction CRT (CRT group) and 33 patients underwent surgical treatment alone (control group), extracted by propensity score matching by age, sex, smoking status, and diseased side. The volume of TAC between 2nd and 12th thoracic vertebrae was quantitatively measured with CT imaging, at baseline and at 1 year follow-up. The annual percent change in TAC was compared between the CRT and the control group. Moreover, the independent relationship between implementation of CRT and the progression of TAC was assessed by multivariate logistic regression analysis, adjusting for age, gender, conventional atherosclerotic risk factors and baseline aortic calcification volume.
Results
Patients in the CRT group received radiation (mean 47.3±4.0 Gy) and chemotherapy: 2 courses of cisplatin with docetaxel (34 cases) or vinorelbine (1 case). The prevalence of dyslipidemia, taking statins and diabetes drugs were significantly higher in the control groups (17% vs. 39%; p=0.041, 11% vs. 33%; p=0.029, 3% vs. 18%; p=0.044, respectively). Baseline C-reactive protein level was significantly higher in the CRT group (0.255 vs. 0.115; p=0.034). In univariate analysis, the annual percent change in TAC volume was significantly increased in the CRT group compared with the control group (37.6% vs. 23.3%; p=0.006). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that CRT was an independent factor associated with the progression of TAC volume, even after adjustment for baseline calcification volume and coronary risk factors (OR, 3.90; 95% CI, 1.32–11.47; p=0.014).
Conclusion
CRT to patients with lung cancer exacerbates thoracic aortic calcification, which may result in future cardiovascular events.

Abstract
We investigated the operating conditions of a baffled membrane bioreactor (B-MBR) under which long-term stable operation can be achieved through the continuous operation of a pilot-scale B-MBR. Under appropriate operating conditions, the B-MBR was capable of achieving excellent treated water quality in terms of biochemical oxygen demand and concentration of total nitrogen. Excellent removal of total phosphorus was also achieved. In addition, the degree of membrane fouling was acceptable, indicating that stable continuous operation of a B-MBR is possible under the operating conditions adopted in the present study. Estimation of the specific energy consumption in hypothetical full-scale B-MBRs operated under the conditions recommended by the findings was also performed in this study. The results suggest that energy consumption in full-scale B-MBRs would be in the range of 0.20-0.22 kWh/m3. These results strongly suggest that energy consumption in MBR operation can be significantly reduced by applying the concept of a B-MBR.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the incidence of re-orientating surgery to improve misalignment of three models of acrylic toric intraocular lenses: AcrySof toric intraocular lens (Alcon Laboratories, Inc.), TECNIS toric intraocular lens (Johnson & Johnson Vision, Inc.) and HOYA 355 toric intraocular lens (HOYA). METHODS In this retrospective, multicenter case series, medical charts were reviewed for collecting data on realignment surgery of toric intraocular lenses at 10 ophthalmic surgical sites in Japan. RESULTS Over all, intraocular lens repositioning surgery was conducted in 89 of 9430 eyes (0.944%) at an average of 10.5 ± 9.7 days after the initial cataract surgery. The incidence was 0.213% (11/5155), 1.797% (62/3451) and 1.942% (16/824) with AcrySof, TECNIS and HOYA toric intraocular lenses, respectively. The incidence was significantly lower with AcrySof than with other two brands of toric intraocular lenses (p < 0.0001). In those eyes which underwent reorientation surgery, the amount of misalignment was 26.4 ± 21.9°, 29.7 ± 15.4° and 28.1 ± 20.7° with AcrySof, TECNIS and HOYA toric intraocular lenses, respectively; there was no significant difference among groups (p = 0.821). The repositioning surgery significantly reduced misalignment in all three groups. CONCLUSION The rotational stability was considerably different among toric intraocular lenses of different manufacturers. The incidence of repositioning surgery was significantly lower with AcrySof than with TECNIS and HOYA toric intraocular lenses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diagnosing fetal heart failure remains challenging because it is difficult to know how well the fetal myocardium will perform as loading conditions change. In adult cardiology, natriuretic peptides (NPs) are established markers of heart failure. However, the number of studies investigating NP levels in fetuses is quite limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of plasma NP levels in the assessment of heart failure in fetuses with a congenital heart defect (CHD) and/or arrhythmia. METHODS This was a prospective observational study conducted at a tertiary pediatric cardiac center. A total of 129 singletons with CHD and/or arrhythmia and 127 controls were analyzed between 2012 and 2015. Umbilical cord plasma atrial NP, brain NP and N-terminal pro-brain NP levels at birth were compared with ultrasonography findings indicating fetal heart failure, such as cardiovascular profile (CVP) score and morphological characteristics. RESULTS Fetuses with CHD and/or arrhythmia had higher NP levels than did controls (P < 0.01). NP levels of fetuses with CHD and/or arrhythmia were correlated inversely with CVP score (P for trend < 0.01). No differences in NP levels were found in fetuses with CHD and/or arrhythmia and a CVP score of ≥ 8 in comparison to controls. Multivariate analysis showed that a CVP score of ≤ 5, tachy- or bradyarrhythmia at birth, preterm birth and umbilical artery pH < 7.15 were associated independently with high NP levels (P < 0.01). Among fetuses with a CVP score of ≤ 7, abnormal venous Doppler sonography findings were significantly more common and more severe in fetuses with tachy- or bradyarrhythmia than in those with CHD, and those with tachy- or bradyarrhythmia had higher NP levels than did those with CHD (P = 0.01). Fetuses with right-heart defect and moderate or severe tricuspid valve regurgitation had significantly higher NP levels than did fetuses with other types of CHD (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Plasma NP levels in fetuses with CHD and/or arrhythmia are correlated with the severity of fetal heart failure. Elevated NP levels are attributed mainly to an increase in central venous pressure secondary to arrhythmia or atrioventricular valve regurgitation due to CHD, rather than to the morphological abnormality itself.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of size specific dose estimates (SSDE) to estimate patient dose in Fast kVp switching dual energy CT. An anthropomorphic phantom (RAN-110) was repeatedly scanned (chest, abdomen and the pelvis) using a 64 detector row MDCT (Discovery CT750 HD, GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI, USA) with various CT parameters, including Fast kVp switching. Dosimetry was performed using thermo-luminescent dosimeters, positioned both superficially and within the phantom. SSDE was calculated for all slices of the anthropomorphic phantom using both the localiser and axial images. In Fast kVp switching, SSDE underestimated the measured absorbed dose for the chest/abdomen region ~35% at the maximum, but were in closer agreement for the pelvic region about within 10%. In single energy techniques, SSDE could not be applied in the estimation of organ doses, but in Fast kVp switching dual energy techniques, SSDE could be applied for anatomical regions with larger thicknesses.

Abstract
In this study, we investigated the effects of recirculation and separation times on removals of organic matter, nitrogen, and phosphorus in a baffled membrane bioreactor (B-MBR) treating real municipal wastewater. A pilot-scale B-MBR experimental apparatus was operated under two different sets of recirculation and separation times. The results revealed that, irrespective of operating conditions, the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and concentration of total nitrogen (T-N) in the treated water can be lowered to less than 3 and 5 mg/L, respectively. Although T-N was effectively removed in the two different operating conditions, increase in the fraction of recirculation time results in tiny deterioration of nitrogen removal efficiency in the B-MBR. Phosphorus removal efficiency was also slightly decreased as the fraction of recirculation time (ratio between recirculation and separation times) was increased. The results of the measurement of dissolved oxygen (DO) profiles at different points of the B-MBR apparatus indicate that the increase in DO concentration in the anoxic zone of the B-MBR becomes much more pronounced by increasing recirculation intensity. On the basis of the results obtained in this study, it can be concluded that efficient removal of BOD, T-N, and total phosphorus can be achieved by the B-MBR as long as appropriate recirculation intensity is selected.
