Matsuhisa M, Koyama M, Cheng X, Takahashi Y, Riddle MC, Bolli GB, Hirose T. New insulin glargine 300 U/ml versus glargine 100 U/ml in Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes using basal and mealtime insulin: glucose control and hypoglycaemia in a randomized controlled trial (EDITION JP 1). Diabetes Obes Metab 2016; 18:375-83. [PMID: 26662964 PMCID: PMC5066635 DOI: 10.1111/dom.12619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2015] [Revised: 09/01/2015] [Accepted: 11/30/2015] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
AIM To compare efficacy and safety of new insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300) with that of insulin glargine 100 U/ml (Gla-100) in Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes. METHODS The EDITION JP 1 study (NCT01689129) was a 6-month, multicentre, open-label, phase III study. Participants (n = 243) were randomized to Gla-300 or Gla-100 while continuing mealtime insulin. Basal insulin was titrated with the aim of achieving a fasting self-monitored plasma glucose target of 4.4-7.2 mmol/l. The primary endpoint was change in glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) over 6 months. Safety measures included hypoglycaemia and change in body weight. RESULTS Gla-300 was non-inferior to Gla-100 for the primary endpoint of HbA1c change over the 6-month period {least squares [LS] mean difference 0.13 % [95 % confidence interval (CI) -0.03 to 0.29]}. The annualized rate of confirmed (≤3.9 mmol/l) or severe hypoglycaemic events was 34 % lower with Gla-300 than with Gla-100 at night [rate ratio 0.66 (95 % CI 0.48-0.92)] and 20 % lower at any time of day [24 h; rate ratio 0.80 (95 % CI 0.65-0.98)]; this difference was most pronounced during the first 8 weeks of treatment. Severe hypoglycaemia was infrequent. The basal insulin dose increased in both groups (month 6 dose: Gla-300 0.35 U/kg/day, Gla-100 0.29 U/kg/day). A between-treatment difference in body weight change over 6 months favouring Gla-300 was observed [LS mean difference -0.6 kg (95 % CI -1.1 to -0.0); p = 0.035]. Adverse event rates were comparable between the groups. CONCLUSIONS In Japanese adults with type 1 diabetes using basal plus mealtime insulin, less hypoglycaemia was observed with Gla-300 than with Gla-100, particularly during the night, while glycaemic control did not differ.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate time intervals of the ductus venosus (DV) flow velocity waveform (FVW) and those of the cardiac cycle that correspond with each DV-FVW component in fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) due to placental insufficiency. METHODS Women with a pregnancy complicated by IUGR were recruited into the study, as was a normal control group. Time intervals for systolic (S) and diastolic (D) components were measured in DV-FVW as follows: S(DV), from the nadir of the a-wave during atrial contraction to the nadir between the S-wave and D-wave; D(DV), from the nadir between S-wave and D-wave to the nadir of the a-wave. Regarding cardiac cycles, the following variables were measured from ventricular inflow through the tricuspid valve (TV) and mitral valve (MV): S(TV) and S(MV), from the second peak of ventricular inflow caused by atrial contraction (A-wave) to the opening of the atrioventricular valve; D(TV) and D(MV), from the opening of the atrioventricular valve to the peak of the A-wave. In the IUGR group, only the last examination performed within 1 week of delivery was used for analysis. All variables were analyzed statistically using Z-scores. RESULTS Data were obtained from 249 normal fetuses and 26 fetuses with IUGR. Compared to normal fetuses, S(DV) showed a significant decrease (P < 0.001), while D(DV) showed a significant increase (P < 0.001) in the IUGR group. Regarding cardiac cycles, S(TV) and S(MV) showed significant decreases (P = 0.014 and P < 0.001, respectively) and D(TV) and D(MV) showed significant increases (P = 0.008 and P = 0.002, respectively) in fetuses with IUGR. CONCLUSION Time-interval alterations of DV-FVW in growth-restricted fetuses reflect the hemodynamic events caused by placental insufficiency.

Time-interval analysis of ductus venosus flow velocity waveforms in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome treated with laser surgery. ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGY : THE OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF ULTRASOUND IN OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY 2015; 45:544-550.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate time-interval variables of ductus venosus (DV) flow velocity waveforms (FVWs) in twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), comparing the results with reference ranges from normal singleton fetuses. The impact of laser surgery and the effect of prognostic factors were also evaluated. METHODS In 107 TTTS cases, DV-FVWs of both recipients and donors were recorded 1 day before and 2 days after laser therapy. Time intervals for systolic (S) and early diastolic (D) peaks were analyzed retrospectively with regard to acceleration time (acc-S and acc-D for S and D, respectively) and deceleration time (dec-S and dec-D for S and D, respectively). For each variable, Z-scores were calculated with respect to previously reported normal reference ranges. RESULTS Z-scores for all variables showed statistically significant differences from those observed previously in normal fetuses, with the exception of dec-S of donors. The most striking differences were observed in longer dec-S of recipients (P < 0.001) and longer dec-D of donors (P < 0.001). Laser therapy showed significant impact on dec-S and acc-D in recipients and on all variables in donors. Regarding the short-term prognosis, acc-S and dec-S showed significant differences for the prediction of intrauterine fetal demise in donors (P = 0.009 and P = 0.011, respectively). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that time-interval variables of DV-FVWs may differentiate the characteristic hemodynamic changes caused by unbalanced blood volume between recipients and donors.

Single-dose new insulin glargine 300 U/ml provides prolonged, stable glycaemic control in Japanese and European people with type 1 diabetes. Diabetes Obes Metab 2015; 17:254-60. [PMID: 25425297 PMCID: PMC4342764 DOI: 10.1111/dom.12415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 75] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2014] [Revised: 11/06/2014] [Accepted: 11/17/2014] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Two single-dose studies were conducted in Japan and Europe to compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of new insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300) and insulin glargine 100 U/ml (Gla-100) in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus. METHODS In two double-blind, randomized, crossover studies, 18 Japanese participants (aged 20-65 years) and 24 European participants (aged 18-65 years) with glycated haemoglobin levels ≤9.0% (≤75 mmol/mol) received single subcutaneous doses of Gla-300, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.9 U/kg (0.9 U/kg in the European study only), and Gla-100, 0.4 U/kg. A 36-h euglycaemic clamp procedure was performed after each dosing. RESULTS The serum insulin glargine concentration (INS) and glucose infusion rate (GIR) developed more gradually into more constant and prolonged profiles with Gla-300 than with Gla-100. In support of this, the times to 50% of glargine exposure and insulin activity were longer for all Gla-300 doses than for Gla-100 during the 36-h clamp period, indicating a more evenly distributed exposure and metabolic effect beyond 24 h. Exposure to insulin glargine and glucose utilization were lower with the 0.4 and 0.6 U/ml Gla-300 doses in both studies compared with the 0.4 U/ml Gla-100 dose. Glucose-lowering activity was detected for up to 36 h with all doses of Gla-300. CONCLUSIONS Single-dose injections of Gla-300 present more constant and prolonged PK and PD profiles compared with Gla-100, maintaining blood glucose control for up to 36 h in euglycaemic clamp settings in Japanese and European participants with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
Graft rejection remains a major obstacle in allogeneic hematopoietic SCT following reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC-SCT), particularly after cord blood transplantation (CBT). In a murine MHC-mismatched model of RIC-SCT, primary graft rejection was associated with activation and expansion of donor-reactive host T cells in peripheral blood and BM early after SCT. Donor-derived dendritic cells are at least partly involved in host T-cell activation. We then evaluated if such an expansion of host T cells could be associated with graft rejection after RIC-CBT. Expansion of residual host lymphocytes was observed in 4/7 patients with graft rejection at 3 weeks after CBT, but in none of the 17 patients who achieved engraftment. These results suggest the crucial role of residual host T cells after RIC-SCT in graft rejection and expansion of host T cells could be a marker of graft rejection. Development of more efficient T cell-suppressive conditioning regimens may be necessary in the context of RIC-SCT.

Abstract
The vertebrate hindbrain contains various sensory-motor networks controlling movements of the eyes, jaw, head, and body. Here we show that stripes of neurons with shared neurotransmitter phenotype that extend throughout the hindbrain of young zebrafish reflect a broad underlying structural and functional patterning. The neurotransmitter stripes contain cell types with shared gross morphologies and transcription factor markers. Neurons within a stripe are stacked systematically by extent and location of axonal projections, input resistance, and age, and are recruited along the axis of the stripe during behavior. The implication of this pattern is that the many networks in hindbrain are constructed from a series of neuronal components organized into stripes that are ordered from top to bottom according to a neuron's age, structural and functional properties, and behavioral roles. This simple organization probably forms a foundation for the construction of the networks underlying the many behaviors produced by the hindbrain.

Abstract
AIM We examined the effect of H₂S on duodenal HCO₃⁻ secretion in rats and investigated the mechanism involved in this response. METHODS Animals were fasted for 18 h and anaesthetized with urethane. A duodenal loop was perfused with saline, and HCO₃⁻ secretion was measured at pH 7.0 using a pH stat-method. The loop was perfused at a rate of 0.2 mL min⁻¹ with NaHS (H₂S donor: 0.1-1 mm) for 5 min or 10 mm HCl for 10 min. Indomethacin or l-NAME [nitric oxide (NO) synthase inhibitor) was given s.c. 30 min or 3 h, respectively, before NaHS or acidification, while glibenclamide (K(ATP) channel blocker) or propargylglycine (cystathionine-g-lyase inhibitor) was given i.p. 30 min before. RESULTS Mucosal perfusion with NaHS dose dependently increased the HCO₃⁻ secretion, and this effect was significantly attenuated by indomethacin and l-NAME as well as by sensory deafferentation, but not by glibenclamide. Mucosal prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) production and luminal release of NO were both increased by NaHS perfusion. Mucosal acidification stimulated HCO₃⁻ secretion concomitant with an increase in PGE₂ and NO production, and these responses were mitigated by propargylglycine. The duodenal damage induced by acid (100 mm HCl for 4 h) was aggravated by pre-treatment with propargylglycine. CONCLUSION These results suggest that H₂S increases HCO₃⁻ secretion in the rat duodenum, and that this action is partly mediated by PG and NO as well as by capsaicin-sensitive afferent neurones. It is assumed that endogenous H₂S is involved in the regulatory mechanism of acid-induced HCO₃⁻ secretion and mucosal protection in the duodenum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the image quality of multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) using adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASIR). METHODS Inflated and fixed lungs were scanned with a garnet detector CT in high-resolution mode (HR mode) or non-high-resolution (HR) mode, and MPR images were then reconstructed. Observers compared 15 MPR images of ASIR (40%) and ASIR (80%) with those of ASIR (0%), and assessed image quality using a visual five-point scale (1, definitely inferior; 5, definitely superior), with particular emphasis on normal pulmonary structures, artefacts, noise and overall image quality. RESULTS The mean overall image quality scores in HR mode were 3.67 with ASIR (40%) and 4.97 with ASIR (80%). Those in non-HR mode were 3.27 with ASIR (40%) and 3.90 with ASIR (80%). The mean artefact scores in HR mode were 3.13 with ASIR (40%) and 3.63 with ASIR (80%), but those in non-HR mode were 2.87 with ASIR (40%) and 2.53 with ASIR (80%). The mean scores of the other parameters were greater than 3, whereas those in HR mode were higher than those in non-HR mode. There were significant differences between ASIR (40%) and ASIR (80%) in overall image quality (p<0.01). Contrast medium in the injection syringe was scanned to analyse image quality; ASIR did not suppress the severe artefacts of contrast medium. CONCLUSION In general, MPR image quality with ASIR (80%) was superior to that with ASIR (40%). However, there was an increased incidence of artefacts by ASIR when CT images were obtained in non-HR mode.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preoperative use of emission tomography with(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG-PET) in patients with primary colorectal cancer remains controversial. This study evaluated the additional value of FDG-PET in comparison with routine multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) in patients with primary colorectal cancer. METHOD Retrospective analysis was performed in 65 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent whole-body FDG-PET. Results of FDG-PET were compared with routine preoperative evaluation by MDCT regarding detection of primary tumour, lymph node involvement and distant metastases. All images were evaluated before surgery. RESULTS Tumour detection rate was 100% (63/63) for MDCT and 98% (62/63) for FDG-PET. Lymph node involvement was pathologically confirmed in 35 patients. MDCT and FDG-PET displayed sensitivities of 89% (31/35; 95% CI: 73-97%) and 43% (15/35; 95% CI: 26-61%) and specificities of 52% (11/21; 95% CI: 30-74%) and 95% (20/21; 95% CI: 76-100%), respectively. Liver metastases were present in 22 patients. MDCT and FDG-PET showed accuracies of 98% (64/65; 95% CI: 92-100%) and 97% (63/65; 95% CI: 89-100%), respectively. FDG-PET detected additional extrahepatic metastatic lesions and affected treatment plan compared with MDCT in 10 patients. CONCLUSION Preoperative FDG-PET is not superior to MDCT for detection of primary tumour, lymph node involvement or liver metastases, but may have potential clinical value in patients with advanced colorectal cancer by detecting extrahepatic distant metastases.

Abstract
A 69-year-old man was referred to our hospital due to acute myocardial infarction. Systolic heart murmur was first noted on the 23rd day after the onset, but no cardiac shunt flow was detected by echocardiography at that time. Six days later, cardiac function deteriorated rapidly, followed by oliguria and shock. Re-do echocardiography showed ventricular septal perforation. Emergency operation was performed, and septal perforation was seen on the anterior portion of the septum. In addition to infarct-exclusion-technique (Komeda-David method) with the equine pericardial patch, direct closure of the septal defect was performed (double closure technique). Fibrin glue was applied between the ventricular septum and the patch. After surgery, he suffered from Candida mediastinitis and received omentum plombage. Furthermore tracheotomy was performed for pneumonia. He recovered gradually, and was discharged about 3 months after surgery. Echocardiography showed no residual shunt.

Abstract
A 68-year-old woman underwent aortic valve replacement to treat her aortic regurgitation. The operation was performed successfully. Just before coming off cardiopulmonary bypass, massive hemorrhage occurred through the endotracheal tube. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy could not find the bleeding site and 1,350 ml of blood had been lost. Bronchial angiography under percutaneous cardiopulmonary bypass revealed the right middle branch to be the bleeding site. The endotrachial bleeding was treated successfully by selective coil embolization of the bronchial artery. No further bronchial bleeding occurred. Although we found the bleeding site, we could not identify the cause of hemorrhage.

Abstract
PURPOSE Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SNB) has been a standard technique in early breast cancer. However, it is not clear that the SNB procedure can be applied to second breast cancer or recurrence occurring in the previously treated breast. The purpose of this study was to clarify the feasibility of the SNB procedure in breast cancer occurring in the previously treated breast, and to investigate the factors related to altered lymphatic flow. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between April 2004 and December 2006, 1490 patients underwent the breast SNB procedure. Among them, 31 patients had a history of previous treatments in the same breast. Recent excision biopsy cases were not included in this group. All patients had previous breast-conserving surgery in the same breast. Sixteen patients had axillary dissection, 3 had SNB, and 12 had no axillary treatment. Ten patients had received radiation therapy to the breast and axilla. Visualization of axillary nodes, internal mammary nodes and contralateral axillary nodes was evaluated and compared with pathological results. RESULTS Axillary nodes were visualized in 23 patients, internal mammary nodes in 7 patients, and contralateral axillary nodes in 7 patients. The patients with previous axillary dissection exhibited altered lymph node distribution, but did not show involvement of contralateral axillary nodes. Visualization of contralateral axillary nodes occurred in 7 of the 10 patients with previous irradiation to breast irrespective of axillary dissection. Twenty-eight patients underwent SNB, 4 of whom showed cancer-positive nodes. Three patients were cancer-positive in non-ipsilateral axillary nodes (one patient showed positive opposite axillary node and two patients showed positive internal mammary nodes). CONCLUSION Previous axillary dissection or irradiation to the breast greatly influences lymphatic flow. Irradiation to the breast may be a strong factor for the visualization of contralateral axillary nodes. Despite the frequent alteration of lymphatic flow, SNB seems to be feasible in secondary or recurrent breast cancer patients.

Abstract
The localization of microelectrode recording sites in the layers of primate cerebral cortex permits the analysis of relationships between recorded neuronal activities and underlying anatomical connections. We present a magnetic resonance imaging method for precise in vivo localization of cortical recording sites. In this method, the susceptibility-induced effect thickens the appearance of the microelectrode and enhances the detectability of the microelectrode tip, which usually occupies less than a few percent of the volume of an image voxel. In a phantom study, the optimized susceptibility-induced effect allowed tip detection with single-voxel accuracy (in-plane resolution, 50 mum). We applied this method to recording microelectrodes inserted into the brains of macaque monkeys, and localized the microelectrode tip at an in-plane resolution of 150 mum within the cortex of 2-3 mm in thickness. Subsequent histological analyses validated the single-voxel accuracy of the in vivo tip localization. This method opens up a way to investigate information flow during cognitive processes in the brain.

Abstract
AIMS Methods of administering (99m)Tc-phytate during sentinel node biopsy of early breast cancer patients were compared to improve the sensitivity of the technique. METHODS Two injection methods, intradermal vs. intradermal-plus-deep injection, were compared in 648 early breast cancer patients. Intradermal injection was done in 323 consecutive patients (325 breasts), and intradermal-plus-deep injection was done in 325 consecutive patients (329 breasts). The following items were compared: (1) The number of axillary nodes detected scintigraphically and removed surgically, and the breast number of micrometastasis to axillary nodes; (2) The number of internal mammary nodes detected scintigraphically and removed surgically; and (3) The sensitivity of axillary SNB. RESULTS The number of axillary nodes scintigraphically detected was 1.63+/-0.80 (mean+/-SD) in patients given intradermal injection, and was 1.82+/-0.94 in patients given intradermal-plus-deep injection. The number of axillary nodes surgically removed was 1.78+/-0.93 in patients given intradermal injection, and was 1.95+/-0.99 in patients given intradermal-plus-deep injection. The visualization of internal mammary nodes was superior with intradermal-plus-deep injection (5/325 for intradermal, and 51/329 for intradermal-plus-deep). The putative sensitivity was 71/72 (98.6%) for the intradermal-plus-deep method and 56/62 (90.3%) for the intradermal method. The frequency of detection of micrometastasis was 24 in 71 true positive (38.8%) for the intradermal-plus-deep method and 13 in 56 true positive (23.2%) for the intradermal method. CONCLUSIONS The SNB procedure with the intradermal-plus-deep injection method detected more axillary and internal mammary nodes, more (not statistically significant) micrometastasis and improved the putative sensitivity more than the SNB procedure with the intradermal injection method.
