Abstract
Background:
Focal motor epilepsy is difficult to localize within the epileptogenic zone because ictal activity quickly spreads to the motor cortex through ictal networks. We previously reported the usefulness of gamma oscillation (30–70 Hz) regularity (GOR) correlation analysis using interictal electrocorticographic (ECoG) data to depict epileptogenic networks. We conducted GOR correlation analysis using ictal ECoG data to visualize the ictal networks originating from the epileptogenic zone in two cases — a 26-year-old woman with negative motor seizures and a 53-year-old man with supplementary motor area (SMA) seizures.
Case Description:
In both cases, we captured several habitual seizures during monitoring after subdural electrode implantation and performed GOR correlation analysis using ictal ECoG data. A significantly high GOR suggestive of epileptogenicity was identified in the SMA ipsilateral to the lesions, which were connected to the motor cortex through supposed ictal networks. We resected the high GOR locations in the SMA and the patients’ previously identified tumors were removed. The patients were seizure-free without any neurological deficits after surgery.
Conclusion:
The GOR correlation analysis using ictal ECoG data could be a powerful tool for visualizing ictal networks in focal motor epilepsy.

Abstract
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft investigated the C-type (carbonaceous) asteroid (162173) Ryugu. The mission performed two landing operations to collect samples of surface and subsurface material, the latter exposed by an artificial impact. We present images of the second touchdown site, finding that ejecta from the impact crater was present at the sample location. Surface pebbles at both landing sites show morphological variations ranging from rugged to smooth, similar to Ryugu's boulders, and shapes from quasi-spherical to flattened. The samples were returned to Earth on 6 December 2020. We describe the morphology of >5 grams of returned pebbles and sand. Their diverse color, shape, and structure are consistent with the observed materials of Ryugu; we conclude that they are a representative sample of the asteroid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In a population-based birth cohort, we aimed to identify longitudinal trajectories of atopic dermatitis (AD) during childhood using data from different sources (validated questionnaires and healthcare records). We investigated the impact of different AD definitions on such trajectories and their relationships with various risk factors. METHODS Of the 1184 children born into the study, 1083 had information on current AD for at least three follow-ups from birth to age 11 years and were included in the analysis for parentally reported AD (PRAD). Data were transcribed from healthcare records for 916 of 1184 children for the analysis of doctor-diagnosed AD (DDAD). We also derived a composite definition of AD (CDAD) (at least two of the following: PRAD, DDAD, current use of AD treatment). Using latent class analysis (LCA), we determined longitudinal profiles of AD using the three definitions. Filaggrin (FLG) genotype data were available for 803 white participants. RESULTS For PRAD, LCA identified four AD classes ('no AD', 'persistent', 'early-onset remitting' and 'late-onset'). For DDAD and CDAD, the optimal number of phenotypes was three ('no AD', 'persistent' and 'early-onset remitting'). Although AD classes at population level appeared similar in different models, a considerable proportion of children (n = 485, 45%) moved between classes. The association with FLG genotype, atopic diseases and early-life risk factors was inconsistent across different definitions, but the association with oral food challenge-confirmed peanut allergy was similar, with a nine- to 11-fold increase among children in the persistent AD class. In a CDAD model, compared with the early-onset remitting class, those with persistent AD were significantly more likely to have (at age 3 years) moderate/severe AD, polysensitization and current wheeze, and were less likely to have been breastfed. CONCLUSIONS Standardized composite definitions of AD may help to define AD cases with more precision and identify more consistent long-term trajectories.

Abstract
Cetuximab causes electrolyte abnormalities, such as hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia, and hypocalcemia. However, little is known about the relationships between the onset of hypomagnesemia, patient background before administration, and time-dependent changes in serum magnesium levels. Therefore, we examined the patient backgrounds that influenced the onset of hypomagnesemia and the time-dependent changes in serum magnesium levels in patients receiving cetuximab. A retrospective study was performed to investigate patients with advanced or recurrent colorectal cancer or head and neck cancer, treated with a cetuximab regimen from 2012 to 2020 at Kindai University Nara Hospital. In total, 52 patients who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study. The serum magnesium level was significantly lower in the hyponatremia before the administration group than in the non-hyponatremia group (p < 0.001). Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the baseline serum sodium levels (odds ratio [OR]: 0.741, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.588-0.934) and the combination of magnesium oxide tablet (OR: 0.997, 95% CI: 0.995-0.999) were one of the independent factors for hypomagnesemia. These results indicated that hyponatremia before administration may be an indicator of serum magnesium levels after administration of cetuximab. Cetuximab-induced hypomagnesemia may be predicted using baseline serum sodium levels, and hypomagnesemia may be prevented by administration of magnesium oxide tablets. Our findings provided new evidence for the management of serum magnesium levels in patients receiving cetuximab.

Abstract
This study demonstrates a high-slew-rate 5-kV pulse generator for electrical insulation tests. Electrical equipment, such as electrical actuators and traction drive motors, are exposed to severe electrical stress because recent switching inverters have high-frequency outputs with high supply voltages using wide-bandgap power devices. For an advanced electrical insulation test, a high-voltage pulse generator is required with a high slew rate; however, such generators suffer from large switching noise, followed by measurement noise, such as ground voltage fluctuations and radiation noise, hindering the detection of partial discharge (PD) phenomena. In this study, we propose a 5-kV pulse generator based on series-connected 1700-V silicon carbide (SiC) metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). Four 1700-V SiC MOSFETs are connected in series as a 5-kV SiC switching module, constituting a half-bridge configuration for the pulse generator. The obtained switching waveforms exhibit fast rise times of 48 ns under 5 kV and 6.2 ns under 400 V with a low voltage overshoot and ringing owing to superior device characteristics and reduced parasitic inductances. Because of the low switching noise, we detect a clear PD signal with a 1500-V pulse when using the fabricated pulse generator for a PD test of a twisted pair. The proposed pulse generator uses a hard switching configuration such that the pulse generator can vary the pulse width from 150 ns to DC and increase the switching pulse cycle beyond 1 MHz by changing the control signals of the SiC MOSFETs.

Abstract
UNLABELLED In this randomized, controlled trial, treatment with once-weekly subcutaneous injection of teriparatide for 72 weeks was found to be associated with a significant reduction in the incidence of morphometric vertebral fractures compared with alendronate in women with primary osteoporosis who were at high risk of fracture. INTRODUCTION To determine whether the anti-fracture efficacy of teriparatide is superior to that of alendronate, a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint trial was performed. METHODS Japanese women aged at least 75 years were eligible for the study if they had primary osteoporosis and were at high risk of fracture. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive sequential therapy (once-weekly subcutaneous injection of teriparatide 56.5 μg for 72 weeks followed by alendronate for 48 weeks) or monotherapy with alendronate for 120 weeks. The primary endpoint was the incidence of morphometric vertebral fractures at 72 weeks (at the end of teriparatide treatment). RESULTS Between October 2014 and December 2017, 1011 patients (505 in the teriparatide group and 506 in the alendronate group) were enrolled. Of these, 778 patients (351 and 427, respectively) were included in the primary analysis. The incidence of morphometric vertebral fractures was significantly lower in the teriparatide group (56 per 419.9 person-years, annual incidence rate 0.1334) than in the alendronate group (96 per 553.6 person-years, annual incidence rate 0.1734), with a rate ratio of 0.78 (95% confidence interval 0.61 to 0.99, P = 0.04). In both groups, adverse events were most frequently reported in the following system organ classes: infections and infestations, gastrointestinal disorders, and musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders. CONCLUSION Once-weekly subcutaneous injection of teriparatide significantly reduced the incidence of morphometric vertebral fractures compared with alendronate in women with primary osteoporosis who were at high risk of fracture.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The use of β-blockers has the effect of improving the prognosis of patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). One of the underlying mechanisms is a decrease in the cardiac load due to a reduction in the heart rate.
Purpose
To clarify the relationships among the pulse rate, the use of β-blockers, and the prognosis in patients with IHD in a multicenter study using a storage system.
Methods
The Clinical Deep Data Accumulation System (CLIDAS) collects (1) basic patient information, prescriptions, and laboratory data from electronic medical records from the Standardized Structured Medical Information eXchange (SS-MIX2) standard storage, and (2) the results of physiological tests, cardiac catheterization, and cardiac catheter intervention reports from the SS-MIX2 extended storage. 8540 cases who underwent cardiac catheterization from 6 university hospitals and the national cardiovascular center in Japan were registered (male: 77%, average age: 70.2 years). We evaluated these patients' pulse rate at admission and at the discharge of cardiac catheterization in 6,598 patients. We divided the pulse rates at discharge into quartiles (Q1: <60, Q2: 60–66, Q3: 67–75, Q4: ≥76 bpm), and we analyzed the relationship between the pulse rate and the prognosis by dividing the patients into the stable angina group (n=2,631) and the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) group (n=2,394). Regarding the use of β-blockers, we compared the pulse rates of the patients taking carvedilol (n=1,728) and those taking bisoprolol (n=2,761) at admission and discharge. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina, heart failure, stroke, and other hospitalized cardiovascular events.
Results
A total of 600 MACEs occurred during an average observation period of 890 days. The incidence of cardiovascular events was significantly higher in the Q4 patients in the stable angina group (hazard ratio 1.79, 95% confidence interval 1.32–2.41, but there was no significant difference among the four pulse rate subgroups in the ACS group. The bisoprolol-treated patients had lower pulse rates at discharge (67.4±12.2 vs. 68.8±11.8 bpm, p<0.001) and a lower percentage of patients in the Q4 group (21.2 vs. 24.9%, p=0.005) compared to the carvedilol-treated patients. The pulse rate at admission was similar in the bisoprolol- and carvedilol-treated patients (74.3±19.3 vs. 73.2±29.5 bpm, p=0.328).
Conclusion
In a real-world database using a storage system, a pulse rate of ≤75 bpm was associated with a good prognosis in patients with ACS. Compared to carvedilol, bisoprolol was associated with a decreased pulse rate at discharge.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Japanese clinical guidelines recommend a stratification of the risks and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) treatment goals for patients with coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), i.e. <100 mg/dL for normal risk patients and <70 mg/dL for high risk patients; however, less is known about the association between baseline LDL-C values and long-term prognosis.
Purpose
To investigate the association between LDL-C goals and baseline LDL-C levels in relation to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among high-risk patients after PCI, using a real-world database.
Methods
We developed the Clinical Deep Data Accumulation System (CLIDAS) that acquires clinical data directly from hospital information system, and implemented the system in 6 university hospitals and the national cardiovascular center in Japan. The CLIDAS database accumulates data regarding patient background, laboratory data, prescriptions, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, PCI report, and long-term prognosis. We retrospectively analyzed 8540 consecutive patients who underwent PCI during April 2014 and March 2020 in participating hospitals, and classified them into the normal risk group (n=3712, 43%) and the high risk group [n=4828, 57%, with any of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), or diabetes with additional risk factor(s)], for which LDL-C goals are <100 mg/dL and <70 mg/dL, respectively, according to the Japanese Atherosclerosis Society guidelines or the diagnosis and prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. The primary outcome was the time to first occurrence of MACE, a composite of cardiovascular death, stroke, myocardial infarction, and coronary revascularization in associations with baseline LDL-C levels and patient background.
Results
Proportion of male (77% vs. 77%) and age (71±11 vs. 70±11) were similar between 2 groups. The prevalence of ACS at the index PCI (0% vs. 62%), FH (0% vs. 2%), hypertension (61% vs. 86%), diabetes (11% vs. 67%), dyslipidemia (73% vs. 84%), hemodialysis (4% vs. 9%), peripheral artery disease (5% vs. 9%), smoking (16% vs. 30%), and prescription of statins (79% vs. 86%) were significantly higher in the high risk group. Among patients in the high risk group, but not in the normal risk group, baseline LDL-C <70 mg/dL was paradoxically associated with higher risk of MACE (P<0.0001 by Log-rank test) (Figure). The Cox proportional hazard model confirmed that the high risk group (risk ratio 1.54, 95% CI [1.31–1.81]), baseline LDL-C <70mg/dL (risk ratio 1.44, 95% CI [1.18–1.75]), baseline age (risk ratio 1.36, 95% CI [1.28–1.45] per 10 year), and prescription of statins (risk ratio 0.80, 95% CI [0.66–0.96]) were significantly associated with the risk of MACE in this population.
Conclusion
The CLIDAS real-world database revealed that baseline low LDL-C paradoxically associated with an increased risk of MACE among guideline-defined high risk patients after PCI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A successful Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) can prevent VT recurrence. It has been reported that VT non-inducibility at the end of RF ablation is associated with less likely VT recurrence in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and non-ICM (NCIM). However, it is not clear whether we should use VT non-inducibility as routine end point in RF ablation of VT.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate VT recurrence in patients who couldn't be achieved VT non-inducibility at the end of RF ablation and the factors attributed to VT recurrence in ICM and NICM patients.
Methods
Between January 2009 and April 2020, 84 consecutive patients (ICM: 34, NICM: 50) underwent RF ablation for drug-resistant VT in our hospital. VT non-inducibility was defined as any ventricular tachy-arrhythmia, including clinical VT, non-clinical VT, and VF, was not induced by programed stimuli at the end of session. Non-inducibility was achieved in 37 patients but it was not achieved in 47 patients (ICM: 18, NICM: 29). To evaluate the validity of “non-inducibility” as an end point of VT ablation, 47 patients (male: 40, mean age: 66±15 years) in whom non-inducibility of any ventricular tachyarrhythmia was not achieved were studied. The primary endpoint was recurrence of any sustained VT and VF during follow up period (mean follow-up period was 1.4 (range, 0.0, 2.0) years.)
Results
Mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 36±13%. Epicardial ablation was required in 8 patients. 32 patients had electrical storm at the time of ablation. Among them, 21 patients had VT recurrence and 26 patients had non-VT recurrence during follow-up period. VT recurrence rate was significantly lower in patients with LVEF≥35% than those with LVEF<35% (HR=0.31, 95% CI 1.25–9.92). Multivariate survival analysis identified LVEF≥35% (HR=0.34, 95% CI 0.10–0.98) and ablation of VT isthmus (HR=0.18, 95% CI 0.02–0.78) as independent predictors of non-VT recurrence.
Conclusions
Even if non-inducibility of any ventricular tachyarrhythmia wasn't achieved at the end of ablation, the patients with LVEF≥35% or who had ablated of VT isthmus might prevent VT recurrence. The validity of non-inducibility of any ventricular tachyarrhythmia should be evaluated in each patient's background.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for calcified coronary artery remains challenging in the drug-eluting stent (DES) era. The effectiveness of drug-coated balloons (DCBs) and orbital atherectomy system (OAS) is unknown.
Methods
In this retrospective, single-center study, we compared the use of DCBs with second- and third-generation DESs following orbital atherectomy (OA) for calcified de novo coronary lesions. All patients underwent PCI with intravascular imaging. The primary endpoint was major cardiac event, that was a composite of cardiac death, death for unknown cause, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or target lesion revascularization at 1 year.
Results
Between June 2018 and December 2019, 107 patients with coronary lesions were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups: 23 patients in DCB group and 84 patients in DES group. The post-procedure segment percentage diameter stenosis was 23.1% (interquartile range [IQR], 17.7 to 32.5) with DCB versus 14.4% (IQR, 10.0 to 21.2) with DES (P<0.001). Overall adverse event rate for PCI procedure was low: one dissection with DES group, no persistent slow/no-flow, and no perforation with both group. The primary endpoint was not significantly different between 2 groups [DES: 6.0% (5/84), DCB: 0.0% (0/23), log-rank P=0.24].
Conclusions
In calcified coronary artery disease, using DCB following OA is as safe and effective as using DES following OA with respect to 1-year clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased risks of stroke and heart failure. AF risk prediction can facilitate the efficient deployment of diagnosis or interventions to prevent AF.
Purpose
We sought to assess the combination prediction value of Holter electrocardiogram (Holter ECG) and the CHARGE-AF score (Cohorts for Aging and Research in Genomic Epidemiology-AF) for the new-onset of AF in a single center study. We also investigated the association between clinical findings and the new-onset of cerebral cardiovascular events.
Methods
From January 2008 and May 2014, 1246 patients with aged≥20 undergoing Holter ECG for palpitations, dizziness, or syncope were recruited. Among them, 350 patients were enrolled in this study after exclusion of 1) AF history at the time of inspection or before, 2) post cardiac device implantation, 3) follow-up duration <1 year, and 4) no 12-lead ECG records within 6 months around Holter ECG.
Results
During the 5.9-year follow-up, 40 patients (11.4%) developed AF incidence. Multivariate cox regression analysis revealed that CHARGE-AF score (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.59, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.13–2.26, P<0.01), BMI (HR: 0.91, 95% CI: 0.83–0.99, P=0.03), frequent supraventricular extrasystoles (SVEs) ≥1000 beats/day (HR: 4.87, 95% CI: 2.59–9.13, P<0.001) and first-degree AV block (HR: 3.52, 95% CI: 1.63–7.61, P<0.01) were significant independent predictors for newly AF. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the combination of the CHARGE-AF score and frequent SVEs (≥1000) was greater than the CHARGE-AF score alone (0.73, 95% CI: 0.64–0.82 vs 0.66, 95% CI: 0.56–0.75, respectively). On the ROC curve, the CHARGE-AF score of 12.9 was optimum cut-off value for newly AF. Patients with both the CHARGE-AF score≥12.9 and SVEs≥1000 developed AF at 129.0/1000 person-years, compared with those with the CHARGE-AF score<12.9 and SVEs≥1000 (48.9), the CHARGE-AF score≥12.9 and SVEs<1000 (40.0) and the CHARGE-AF score<12.9 and SVEs<1000 (7.4), respectively. In multivariate cox regression analysis, age, past history of congestive heart failure and myocardial infarction, and antihypertensive medication were significant predictors of cerebral cardiovascular events (n=43), all of which signifying the components of the CHARGE-AF score. The AUC of the combination of the CHARGE-AF score and frequent SVEs (≥1000) was not different from the CHARGE-AF score alone (0.73, 95% CI: 0.64–0.81 vs 0.73, 95% CI: 0.64–0.82, respectively).
Conclusion
CHARGE-AF score has higher predictive power of both the new incident AF and cerebral cardiovascular events. The combination of CHARGE-AF score and SVEs≥1000 beats/day in Holter ECG can demonstrate the additional effect of prediction ability for the new incident AF, but not for cerebral cardiovascular events.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
It has been reported that decreased nitric oxide bioavailability due to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) is one of the most important causes of coronary artery spasm (CAS). Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is the rate-limiting enzyme for uric acid (UA) production and plays a pivotal role in generating ROS. It was reported that the gender differences exist in the impact of serum UA levels on cardiovascular risks. We previously demonstrated that increased plasma XOR activity is significantly associated with the incidence of CAS. However, the gender differences in the impact of plasma XOR activity on CAS remain unclear.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to examine the gender differences in the clinical impact of plasma XOR activity on CAS.
Methods
We investigated plasma XOR activity in 132 patients suspected for CAS (male, n=78; female, n=54), and underwent intracoronary acetylcholine provocation test. XOR activity assay was performed using stable isotope-labeled substrate and liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Provoked CAS was defined as total or subtotal occlusion (≥90%) with accompanying symptoms of chest pain and/or ischemic ST-segment changes on the electrocardiogram. We excluded the patients who had significant coronary artery stenosis (≥50%) and/or were taking XOR inhibitors.
Results
Plasma XOR activity was significantly lower in female compared with male patients (30.3 pmol/h/mL, interquartile range (IQR) 22.8–42.7 vs. 51.7 pmol/h/mL, IQR 34.7–101.8; P<0.001). CAS was provoked in 36 male patients and 17 female patients, and they each had significantly higher plasma XOR activity compared with those without, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that plasma XOR activity was independently associated with the incidence of CAS in both genders after adjustment for confounding factors. The optimal cut-off values for predicting CAS were lower in female than those in male patients (52.3 vs. 91.6 pmol/h/mL). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that female patients with high XOR activity (≥52.3 pmol/h/mL; odds ratio [OR] 22.6, P<0.001) exhibited a higher incidence of CAS compared with that in male patients (≥91.6 pmol/h/mL; OR 8.2, P<0.001).
Conclusions
Plasma XOR activity was an independent predictor for the incidence of CAS in both genders. The impact of plasma XOR activity on CAS was stronger in female patients than in male patients.

Abstract
We aimed to clarify whether various antipsychotics ameliorate cisplatin-induced pica behavior in mice using a drug repositioning approach. Mice were administered cisplatin (12.5 mg/kg, i.p.) with or without olanzapine (1 mg/kg, i.p.), asenapine (4 mg/kg, i.p.), mirtazapine (5 mg/kg, i.p.) or standard three-drug antiemetics (granisetron [0.5 mg/kg, i.p.], fosaprepitant [25 mg/kg, i.p.], and dexamethasone [3 mg/kg, i.p.]). Kaolin, food, and water intake, and spontaneous motor activity on the day before and seven consecutive days after the cisplatin administration were measured using a telemetry system. At the primary endpoint, kaolin intake was significantly higher at day three in the cisplatin group than in the pre-treatment and saline groups ( p < 0.05). Additionally, kaolin intake was not significantly higher in cisplatin with olanzapine, asenapine, and mirtazapine groups for seven days than in the pre-treatment group. At the secondary endpoint, cisplatin decreased the food and water intake, and spontaneous motor activity in a time-dependent manner. Three antipsychotics failed to improve the cisplatin-induced decrease in food and water intake, and spontaneous motor activity. The findings suggest that prophylactic administration of antipsychotics besides olanzapine may improve cisplatin-induced nausea and vomiting in a delayed phase and de-escalate standard 3-drug antiemetics.

Abstract
Low dose radiation has been widely accepted by the radiation protection community as presenting a very low risk to human health, if any. Over-conservatism in optimisation principles and regulations have resulted in a disproportionate fear of radiation amongst the general public and government authorities alike, overlooking the great benefits nuclear science and techniques have brought to society as a whole. As such, the World Nuclear Association advocates for a recontextualisation of the radiation hazards with regards to low dose radiation, and a greater awareness as to the absence of any discernible effects associated with it.

Abstract
A description of the upgraded bunch-by-bunch feedback system for time-resolved experiments at Pohang Light Source II (PLS-II) is provided. The bunch-by-bunch feedback system has been upgraded to increase the single-bunch current in the hybrid fill pattern of the PLS-II facility. The project is part of the SPring-8 and PLS-II collaboration. The main features of the upgrade are to employ a single 500 MHz analog-to-digital converter (ADC) instead of the previous four 125 MHz interleaved ADCs for 500 MHz rate, to replace a single-loop two-dimensional feedback with two independent one-dimensional feedback loops, to implement the tune measurement function with a single bunch, and mainly to implement single-bunch and stretcher control. The realization of a 400 mA hybrid fill pattern including a 10 mA single bunch demonstrates the precision of the upgraded bunch-by-bunch feedback system.

Abstract
Direct proton-knockout reactions of ^{55}Sc at ∼220 MeV/nucleon were studied at the RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory. Populated states of ^{54}Ca were investigated through γ-ray and invariant-mass spectroscopy. Level energies were calculated from the nuclear shell model employing a phenomenological internucleon interaction. Theoretical cross sections to states were calculated from distorted-wave impulse approximation estimates multiplied by the shell model spectroscopic factors, which describe the wave function overlap of the ^{55}Sc ground state with states in ^{54}Ca. Despite the calculations showing a significant amplitude of excited neutron configurations in the ground-state of ^{55}Sc, valence proton removals populated predominantly the ground state of ^{54}Ca. This counterintuitive result is attributed to pairing effects leading to a dominance of the ground-state spectroscopic factor. Owing to the ubiquity of the pairing interaction, this argument should be generally applicable to direct knockout reactions from odd-even to even-even nuclei.

【Background】
Patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) suffer from poor exercise capacity due to impaired oxygenation or reduced cardiac output. However, the relationship between exercise capacity and physical functions remains unclear.
【Purpose】
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between exercise capacity and physical functions in pulmonary hypertension.
【Methods】
From February 2018 to June 2020, 94 patients (61.3 ± 14.7 years old, 69.1% females) with group 1/3/4/5 PH underwent cardiac catheterization, 6-minute walking distance (6MWD), and physical function measurements simultaneously. The physical functions was measured using muscle strength (grip strength, knee extension muscle strength), balance function (one leg standing time), and short physical performance battery (SPPB). Exercise capacity was measured by 6MWD.
【Results】
The study cohort consists of 22/8/60/4 (23.4%/8.5%/63.8%/4.3%) patients with group 1/3/4/5 PH, respectively. The average age of each group was 50.7/64.7/63.1/66.0 years old, respectively. A total of 194 measurements of physical functions were evaluated from 94 patients and employed in multivariate logistic regression analysis using adaptive-LASSO methods with the 6MWD (476.2 ± 107.5m) as a dependent variable. WHO functional class (class II: standardized β=-0.35, 95% confidence interval (CI) [-0.54 - -0.16], p < 0.001), class III: β=-0.60, 95%CI [-0.90 - -0.30], p < 0.001), mixed venous oxygen saturation (SvO2: β=0.11, 95%CI [0.03 - 0.19], p = 0.008), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR: β=-0.16, 95%CI [-0.25 - -0.07], p < 0.001), grip strength (β=0.20, 95%CI [0.09 - 0.31], p < 0.001), one leg standing time (β=0.10, 95%CI [0.00 - 0.20], p = 0.049) , and 4m gait speed test (β=-0.28, 95%CI [-0.36 - -0.19], p < 0.001) were associated with 6MWD.
【Conclusions】
Grip strength and balance function, as well as SvO2 and PVR, were associated with the exercise capacity in pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract
Many neutron star properties, such as the proton fraction, reflect the symmetry energy contributions to the equation of state that dominate when neutron and proton densities differ strongly. To constrain these contributions at suprasaturation densities, we measure the spectra of charged pions produced by colliding rare isotope tin (Sn) beams with isotopically enriched Sn targets. Using ratios of the charged pion spectra measured at high transverse momenta, we deduce the slope of the symmetry energy to be 42<L<117 MeV. This value is slightly lower but consistent with the L values deduced from a recent measurement of the neutron skin thickness of ^{208}Pb.

Longitudinal Flow Decorrelations in Xe+Xe Collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.44 TeV with the ATLAS Detector. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2021; 126:122301. [PMID: 33834811 DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.126.122301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2020] [Revised: 06/16/2020] [Accepted: 02/12/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
The first measurement of longitudinal decorrelations of harmonic flow amplitudes v_{n} for n=2-4 in Xe+Xe collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.44 TeV is obtained using 3 μb^{-1} of data with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The decorrelation signal for v_{3} and v_{4} is found to be nearly independent of collision centrality and transverse momentum (p_{T}) requirements on final-state particles, but for v_{2} a strong centrality and p_{T} dependence is seen. When compared with the results from Pb+Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV, the longitudinal decorrelation signal in midcentral Xe+Xe collisions is found to be larger for v_{2}, but smaller for v_{3}. Current hydrodynamic models reproduce the ratios of the v_{n} measured in Xe+Xe collisions to those in Pb+Pb collisions but fail to describe the magnitudes and trends of the ratios of longitudinal flow decorrelations between Xe+Xe and Pb+Pb. The results on the system-size dependence provide new insights and an important lever arm to separate effects of the longitudinal structure of the initial state from other early and late time effects in heavy-ion collisions.

Abstract
Several extensions of the Standard Model predict the production of dark matter particles at the LHC. An uncharted signature of dark matter particles produced in association with VV=W^{±}W^{∓} or ZZ pairs from a decay of a dark Higgs boson s is searched for using 139 fb^{-1} of pp collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The s→V(qq[over ¯])V(qq[over ¯]) decays are reconstructed with a novel technique aimed at resolving the dense topology from boosted VV pairs using jets in the calorimeter and tracking information. Dark Higgs scenarios with m_{s}>160 GeV are excluded.
