Abstract
Background Reduced expression of cluster of differentiation (CD) 133 and cyclo‐oxygenase (COX) 2, and increased density of CD8+ tumour‐infiltrating lymphocytes, are associated with a favourable tumour response to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT). This study aimed to evaluate these markers in relation to tumour response after preoperative CRT in two rectal cancer cohorts. Methods Patients with low rectal cancer who underwent radical resection and preoperative short‐term CRT in 2001–2007 (retrospective cohort) and long‐term CRT in 2011–2017 (prospective cohort) were analysed. Pretreatment biopsies were stained immunohistochemically using antibodies to determine CD133 and COX‐2 expression, and increased CD8+ density. Outcome measures were tumour regression grade (TRG), tumour downstaging and survival. Results For 95 patients in the retrospective cohort, the incidence of TRG 3–4 was 67 per cent when two or three immunohistochemistry (IHC) features were present, but only 20 per cent when there were fewer features (P < 0·001). The incidence of tumour downstaging was higher in patients with at least two IHC features (43 versus 22 per cent with fewer features; P = 0·029). The 49 patients in the prospective cohort had similar rates to those in the retrospective cohort (TRG 3–4: 76 per cent for two or more IHC features versus 25 per cent with fewer features, P < 0·001; tumour downstaging: 57 versus 25 per cent respectively, P = 0·022). Local recurrence‐free survival rates in patients with more or fewer IHC features were similar in the retrospective and prospective cohort (P = 0·058 and P = 0·387 respectively). Conclusion Assessment of CD133, COX‐2 and CD8 could be useful in predicting a good response to preoperative CRT in patients with lower rectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant therapy. Further studies are needed to validate the results in larger cohorts and investigate a survival benefit.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the chronic damage associated with pregnancies before and after the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS Using childbearing-aged female SLE patient data registered at the Okayama and Showa University Hospitals, a nested case-control analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between pregnancy and chronic damage using the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index (SDI). RESULTS Pregnancy occurred in 22 patients before and 13 patients after the diagnosis of SLE in 104 eligible patients. Live births occurred in 82% (33/40) and 50% (9/18) of the pregnancies before and after the diagnosis of SLE, respectively. After matching age and disease duration, 33 case patients with chronic damage (SDI ≥ 1) and 33 control patients without chronic damage (SDI = 0) were selected. Hypertension was more frequent in cases than in controls (48% vs. 24%, p = 0.041). Pregnancies before and after the diagnosis of SLE were comparable between cases and controls (before the diagnosis: nine case patients and eight control patients; after the diagnosis: three case patients and five control patients; p = 1.00). Even after adjusting for hypertension using multivariate analysis, the pregnancies before and after the diagnosis were not significant predictors for chronic damage (odds ratio = 1.48 (95% confidence interval 0.33-6.65)), p = 0.60 of the pregnancy before the diagnosis; odds ratio = 0.78 (95% confidence interval 0.13-4.74), p = 0.78 of the pregnancy after the diagnosis). CONCLUSION Pregnancies, either before or after the diagnosis of SLE, did not show any differences in chronic damage. Our results help alleviate fears regarding childbearing in female patients with SLE and their families.

Abstract
DNA methylation of enhancers and promoters generally inhibits gene transcription. DNA methylation occurs predominantly at the dinucleotide CpG, a methyl group that is covalently bonded to cytosine. We have previously demonstrated tissue-restricted expression of the uncoupling protein 1 (Ucp1) in common carp. Here, we characterized the methylation status of the upstream region of the transcriptional initiation site of the carp Ucp1 gene in the liver, brain, kidney, skeletal muscle, and scales. In addition, we explored the direct role of methylation on Ucp1 transcription. Ucp1 expression was higher in the liver than that in other tissues including the kidney, skeletal muscle, and scales. The extent of methylation at nt -2178 and nt -2103 was lower in the liver and kidney than that in the brain, skeletal muscle, and scales. In addition, methylation at the upstream proximal-region of the Ucp1 gene was generally less frequent in the liver compared with that in the other organs. The transcriptional activation assay using the CpG-free luciferase-based reporter suggested that the methylation of the distal and proximal regions of the carp Ucp1 gene did not affect Ucp1 transcription. Unexpectedly, mutation of cytidylic acid to guanylic acid at nt -108 decreased Ucp1 promoter activity. The present results reveal that the status of DNA methylation of the upstream region of the carp Ucp1 gene is different among different tissues, but suggest that the DNA methylation do not directly repress the transcription of Ucp1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The metastatic involvement of regional lymph nodes is the most important prognostic factor for overall survival of skin cancer patients. The sonographic technique of freehand real-time tissue elastography (RTE), which displays tissue rigidity as a colour overlay of the tissue image, was developed. OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to evaluate the benefit of RTE for detecting lymph node metastases of skin cancer non-invasively before operation. METHODS We first selected lymph nodes of skin cancer patients which had already been diagnosed by biopsy as being reactive or metastatic, and then retrospectively collected images of RTE and B-mode and colour Doppler ultrasound on those lymph nodes performed preoperatively. Twenty-one lymph nodes from 12 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 23 lymph nodes from 14 patients with malignant melanoma (MM) and 14 lymph nodes from six patients with extramammary Paget disease (Paget) were investigated. Elastographic images were assessed on a scale of one to four according to the percentage of high elasticity (hard) area (HEA) in the lymph node. RESULTS In all three skin cancers, lymph nodes evaluated as grade 3 or 4 by RTE were metastatic. All lymph nodes evaluated as grade 1 or 2 by RTE were reactive in SCC, whereas some lymph nodes evaluated as grade 1 or 2 were metastatic in MM and Paget. CONCLUSION Real-time tissue elastography may aid in distinguishing reactive lymph nodes from metastatic ones especially in SCC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of ischemic stroke. It remains unknown whether left atrial diameter determined by routine trans-thoracic echocardiography is a risk factor for ischemic stroke in non-valvular AF (NVAF) patients.
Purpose
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of left atrial enlargement (LAE) on the incidence of ischemic stroke in a large-scale cohort of Japanese NVAF patients.
Methods
We combined the data of 5 major AF registries in Japan, J-RHYTHM Registry, Fushimi AF Registry, Shinken Database, Keio interhospital Cardiovascular Studies, and Hokuriku AF Registry. After excluding patients without echocardiographic data, 7,672 NVAF patients were analyzed in the present study (mean age, 69.3±12.3 years; mean CHADS2 score, 1.6±1.3). We compared clinical characteristics and the incidence of ischemic stroke between NVAF patients with LAE (left atrial diameter >45 mm; LAE group) and those without (non-LAE group).
Results
The mean left atrial diameter was 43.1±8.6 mm, and the LAE group accounted for 40.0% (n=3,066) of the entire cohort. Compared with non-LAE group (60.0%, n=4,606), the LAE group was older (LAE vs. non-LAE; 70.3±12.0 vs. 68.0±12.5, p<0.01), more often non-paroxysmal type (73.7% vs. 32.1%, p<0.01), had higher CHADS2 (1.86±1.34 vs. 1.46±1.29, p<0.01) and CHA2DS2-VASc (3.02±1.83 vs. 2.53±1.78, p<0.01) scores, and more frequently received oral anticoagulant (72.9% vs. 55.0%, p<0.01).
During the median follow-up period of 774.5 days (interquartile range: 567–1466 days), ischemic stroke occurred in 241 patients (131 vs. 110 patients; 1.52 vs. 0.82 per 100 person-years). In Kaplan Meier analysis, LAE was associated with a higher incidence of ischemic stroke (unadjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.83, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.42–2.36; log rank p<0.01) (Figure). LAE was independently associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke (adjusted HR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.25–2.11; p<0.01) after adjustment by the components of CHADS2 score and the use of oral anticoagulant, on multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis.
Conclusion
In this large-scale cohort of Japanese patients with AF, LAE was an independent predictor of ischemic stroke, suggesting that this simple echocardiographic parameter could refine thromboembolic risk stratification of NVAF patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is a treatment of choice for patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Patients with proximal pulmonary artery disease are considered to be good candidates for PEA because of their generally excellent outcomes. However, not all patients can be operated because of patients' advanced age, comorbidities and poor general condition. Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) has become an alternative treatment for CTEPH patients especially whose lesions locate in the distal site. The effectiveness of BPA in patients who have lesions in the proximal pulmonary arteries but cannot be a candidate for PEA remains unclear.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of BPA in CTEPH patients whose lesions appears operable but ineligible for PEA.
Methods
A total of 370 patients who underwent BPA in our institute from November 2004 to January 2018 were enrolled. All the patients were divided into operable group and inoperable group according to the difference of lesion location based on the findings of perfusion scintigraphy, computed tomography and pulmonary angiography. Hemodynamic effects of BPA in both groups were investigated. We also conducted survival analyses using the Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test.
Results
Among 370 patients, 90 patients deemed operable. The main reasons why not operated in the PEA operable group were patient's refusal (44%), advanced age (14%), and comorbidities (27%). There were no baseline characteristic differences between two groups except for the history of acute pulmonary embolism. Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) equally improved after BPA in both groups (operable: 38.2±10.8 mmHg to 21.5±4.7mmHg, inoperable: 42.4±11.3 mmHg to 21.8±4.8 mmHg, p<0.001, operable: 8.0±4.2 wood unit to 3.5±1.5 wood unit, inoperable: 9.1±4.6 wood unit to 3.4±1.3 wood unit, p<0.001). Furthermore, five-year cumulative survival rates were not different between two groups (inoperable vs. operable: 93% vs. 88%, p=0.23, median follow-up period was 23.0 months (range: 5–136 months)). Meanwhile, the absolute change of mPAP and PVR in inoperable group were greater than those in operable group (inoperable: 20.7±11.2 mmHg, operable: 16.6±11.0 mmHg, p=0.010, inoperable: 5.6±4.4 wood unit, operable: 4.5±3.9 wood unit, p=0.015).
Conclusions
Although the outcome of BPA for CTEPH patients with operable lesions appears acceptable, absolute change in hemodynamics was lower than that of the patients with inoperable lesions. CTEPH with proximal lesions should be treated with PEA rather than BPA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) improves hemodynamics, symptoms and exercise capacity in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) who are ineligible for pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). However, certain patients still have hypoxemia after BPA or PEA despite normalization of hemodynamics. In CTEPH, hypoxemia is related increased dead space ventilation caused by vascular obstruction.
Purpose
This study was aimed to clarify whether additional BPA can improve hypoxemia of CTEPH patients after normalization of hemodynamics.
Methods
A total of 335 patients who underwent initial series of BPA in our institute were followed up. Sixty-four patients with mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) <30mmHg and percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) <95% without oxygen inhalation at more than 6 months after the initial series of BPA and of patients who could reevaluate hemodynamics and oxygenation after additional BPA were enrolled. These patients were divided into two groups with or without additional BPA procedures. Change of hemodynamics and SpO2 were retrospectively investigated.
Results
Thirty-three of 64 patients underwent additional BPA procedures. Patients' age was older in BPA group than those in non-BPA group (71.3±10.4 vs. 66.5±9.4 years old, p=0.02). mPAP and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was significantly higher in BPA group (mPAP: 23.9±3.2 vs. 20.7±3.8 mmHg, p=0.001, PVR: 4.2±1.2 vs. 3.5±1.4 wood unit, p=0.03, respectively). Among the 1.8±1.4 BPA procedures per person, total 6.6±3.8 segmental pulmonary arteries per person were treated. While no obvious improvements were observed in non-BPA group, PVR and SpO2 in BPA group were significantly improved (4.2±1.2 to 3.7±1.3 wood unit, p=0.002, 90.7±3.1% to 94.1±3.6%, p<0.001, respectively). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, additional BPA procedures were associated with further improvement of SpO2 (hazard ratio, 3.7; 95% confidence interval, 1.2–11.5; P=0.02).
Conclusions
Additional BPA procedure was associated with improvement of hypoxemia in CTEPH patients after normalization of hemodynamics. Treating as many lesions as possible in BPA might relieve the patients' residual dyspnea.

Abstract
Synthetic scaffolds exhibiting bone repair ability equal to that of autogenous bone are required in the fields of orthopedics and dentistry. A suitable synthetic bone graft substitute should induce osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis. In this study, three types of honeycomb blocks (HCBs), composed of hydroxyapatite (HAp), β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP), and carbonate apatite (CO3Ap), were fabricated, and the effects of HCB composition on bone formation and maturation were investigated. The HC structure was selected to promote cell penetration and tissue ingrowth. HAp and β-TCP HCBs were fabricated by extrusion molding followed by sintering. The CO3Ap HCBs were fabricated by extrusion molding followed by sintering and dissolution-precipitation reactions. These HCBs had similar macroporous structures: all harbored uniformly distributed macropores (∼160 μm) that were regularly arrayed and penetrated the blocks unidirectionally. Moreover, the volumes of macropores were nearly equal (∼0.15 cm3/g). The compressive strengths of CO3Ap, HAp, and β-TCP HCBs were 22.8 ± 3.5, 34.2 ± 3.3, and 24.4 ± 2.4 MPa, respectively. Owing to the honeycomb-type macroporous structure, the compressive strengths of these HCBs were higher than those of commercial scaffolds with intricate three-dimensional or unidirectional macroporous structure. Notably, bone maturation was markedly faster in CO3Ap HCB grafting than in β-TCP and HAp HCB grafting, and the mature bone area percentages for CO3Ap HCBs at postsurgery weeks 4 and 12 were 14.3- and 4.3-fold higher and 7.5- and 1.4-fold higher than those for HAp and β-TCP HCBs, respectively. The differences in bone maturation and formation were probably caused by the disparity in concentrations of calcium ions surrounding the HCBs, which were dictated by the inherent material resorption behavior and mechanism; generally, CO3Ap is resorbed only by osteoclastic resorption, HAp is not resorbed, and β-TCP is rapidly dissolved even in the absence of osteoclasts. Besides the composition, the microporous structure of HC struts, inevitably generated during the formation of HCBs of various compositions, may contribute to the differences in bone maturation and formation.

Abstract
Objective Serologically active clinically quiescent (SACQ)-SLE is a subtype of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE); most SACQ-SLE patients relapse. Although complement and/or anti-dsDNA level fluctuations during SACQ status are reportedly not useful for predicting relapse, they might be useful in specific clinical settings. We aimed to assess the correlation between future relapse and progressive reductions in serum complement levels following remission in patients with hypocomplementemia . Methods We retrospectively reviewed patients aged ≥15 years who were treated with ≥20 mg/day of prednisolone for remission induction. After achieving remission, the patients treated with prednisolone tapered to ≤15 mg/day without relapse and followed by hypocomplementemia (first hypocomplementemia point) were analyzed. The primary outcome was the relapse during the first 24 months. Results Seventy-six patients were enrolled; 31 (40.8%) relapsed. A ≥10% reduction after the first hypocomplementemia point in serum C3, C4, and CH50 levels was found in 10, 21, and 16 patients, respectively. Hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for relapse were 2.32 (0.92–5.12) for serum C3 levels and 2.46 (1.18–5.01) for serum C4 levels. Progressive reductions in serum C3 and C4 levels had relatively high specificity (93.3% and 82.2%) but limited sensitivity (22.6% and 41.9%) for predicting relapse. However, simultaneous progressive reduction in C3 levels and increase in anti-dsDNA antibody levels had the highest specificity (97.8%), and simultaneous progressive reduction in C4 levels or increase in anti-dsDNA antibody levels had the highest sensitivity (71.0%). Conclusion Simultaneous progressive reductions in complement levels and increases in anti-dsDNA antibody levels may indicate future relapse SACQ-SLE patients.

Abstract
LiMn1.5Ni0.5O4 is an excellent candidate as a cathode-active material in high-voltage lithium-ion batteries and studied using atomic resolution scanning transmission electron microscope. High-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) images obtained at [100] orientation demonstrate that Mn and Ni atoms are regularly ordered at octahedral sites in a spinel structure, in a 3:1 ratio between columns with high and low intensities. Simulations of HAADF images revealed that atomic columns including Mn exhibit a larger intensity than that by Ni columns, primarily because of the effect of the Debye-Waller factor.
