Effect of injection duration on contrast enhancement during cardiac computed tomography angiography in newborns and infants. Radiography (Lond) 2021; 28:440-446. [PMID: 34844859 DOI: 10.1016/j.radi.2021.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2021] [Revised: 11/08/2021] [Accepted: 11/10/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION To investigate how changing the injection duration at cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) affects contrast enhancement in newborns and infants. METHODS Included were 142 newborns and infants with confirmed congenital heart disease who underwent CCTA between January 2015 and December 2018. In group 1 (n = 71 patients), the injection duration was 8 s; in group 2 (n = 71) it was 16 s. Our findings were assessed by one-to-one matching analysis to estimate the propensity score of each patient. We compare the CT number for the pulmonary artery (PA), ascending aorta (AAO), left superior vena cava (SVC), AAO and PA enhancement ratio, and the scores for visualization between the two groups. RESULTS In group 1, median CT number and ranges was 345 (211-591) HU in the AAO, 324 (213-567) HU in the PA, and 62 (1-70) HU in the SVC. These values were 465 (308-669) HU, 467 (295-638) HU, and 234 (67-443) HU, respectively, in group 2 (p < 0.05). The median score for volume-rendering visualization on 3D images of the CCTA was 2 in group 1 and 3 in group 2; the score for visualization of the left SVC of the maximum intensity projection images was 2 in group 1 and 3 in group 2 (p < 0.05). The CT number for the AAO and PA enhancement ratio was 15.2 in group 1 and 9.2 in group 2 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The 16-sec injection protocol yielded significantly higher CT numbers for the AAO, PA, and the SVC than the 8-sec injection protocol; the visualization scores were also significantly higher in group 2. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE In newborns and infants, the longer injection time for CCTA yields stable and higher contrast enhancement at identical CM concentrations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the correlation between the computed tomography (CT) enhancement rate of the venous to portal venous phase (VP-ER) and the extracellular volume (ECV) fraction with shear-wave ultrasound elastography (USE) findings in patients with liver fibrosis. METHODS We included 450 patients with clinically suspected liver cirrhosis who underwent triphasic dynamic CT studies and USE. We compared the USE results with the unenhanced CT phase, with enhancement in the hepatic artery phase (HAP), portal venous phase (PVP), and venous phase (VP), and with the ECV fraction and the VP-ER. We also compared the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the ECV fraction and VP-ER with that of the values obtained with USE. RESULTS The VP-ER was the most highly correlated with the liver stiffness value determined with USE (Pearson's correlation coefficient: r = 0.37), followed by enhancement in the PVP (r = -0.25), CT number on unenhanced CT scans (r = -0.22), the ECV fraction (r = 0.19), enhancement in the VP (r = 0.059), and enhancement in the HAP (r = -0.023) (all p < 0.01). The VP-ER showed a significantly higher AUC than the ECV fraction (0.75 vs 0.62) when the liver stiffness was >15 kPa in USE studies (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Compared to the ECV fraction, the VP-ER is more useful for predicting all degrees of liver fibrosis on routine triphasic dynamic CT images. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Although improvement is needed, the VP-ER has a higher diagnostic ability for liver fibrosis than the ECV fraction in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To compare the computed tomography (CT) number for paediatric cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and visualisation score of the three-dimensional (3D) images using the conventional T-shaped extended tube (T-tube) and spiral flow-generating extended tube (spiral-tube) connected between the contrast injector and cannula. METHODS In total, 108 patients suspected to have congenital heart disease (CHD) were considered for inclusion. We utilised the T-tube for intravenous contrast and spiral-tube in 54 patients each. Observers individually inspected randomized volume rendering images of the internal thoracic artery, each acquired from the with or without spiral-tube groups, using a four-point scale. We compared the mean CT number of the ascending aorta (AAO) and pulmonary artery (PA), contrast noise ratio (CNR), CT number for the AAO and PA enhancement ratio, and the visualisation scores between the groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in patient characteristics between the with or without spiral-tube groups (p > 0.05). The mean CT number ±standard deviation for the AAO and PA, and the CNR without or with spiral-tube groups were 441.2 ± 89.2 and 489.8 ± 86.1 HU for the AAO, 436.3 ± 100.6 and 475.3 ± 85.2 HU for the PA, and 9.5 ± 2.2 and 10.8 ± 2.4 for the CNR, respectively (p < 0.05). In the spiral-tube group, the CT number, CNR, and visualisations score of the 3D images were significantly higher for the AAO and PA than those in the T-tube group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The spiral-tube proved to be beneficial in improving the CT number for the AAO and PA, CNR, and visualisation score compared with the conventional T-tube during paediatric CCTA. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The spiral-tube may allow the visualisation of smaller blood vessels than those visualised by the conventional T-tube for paediatric patients in CCTA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The standard diagnosis of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is based on the following: 1) symptoms of HF, 2) preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF, >50%), and 3) presence of LV diastolic dysfunction confirmed by echocardiography or cardiac catheterisation. However, there are limits to the diagnostic accuracy of individual parameters, and what cut-off values should be applied and how they should be combined remain unclear. Diagnostic algorithms for HFpEF such as the HFA-PEFF algorithm and the H2FPEF score have been proposed; however, previous validation studies were conducted in stable chronic HF and did not include an invasive haemodynamic assessment. Thus, the diagnostic accuracy for HFpEF lacked robustness. Moreover, information on their applicability in the Asian population is limited.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate these scores' diagnostic validity for HFpEF in Japanese patients recently hospitalised due to acute decompensated HF.
Methods
We examined patients with HFpEF recently hospitalised with acute decompensated HF whose HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores could be calculated at discharge from a nationwide HFpEF-specific multicentre registry (HFpEF group) and control patients who underwent echocardiography to investigate the cause of dyspnoea in our hospital (Non-HFpEF group). We calculated the HFA-PEFF and the H2FPEF scores among the studied population. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) were computed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of these scores.
Results
The studied population included 372 consecutive patients (194 HFpEF group and 178 Non-HFpEF group; HFpEF prevalence, 52%). The HFA-PEFF score classified 155 (42%) of all patients into the high likelihood category (5–6 points) and only 19 (5%) into the low likelihood category (0–1 point). A high HFA-PEFF score could diagnose HFpEF with a high specificity of 84% and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 82%, and a low HFA-PEFF score could rule out HFpEF with a high sensitivity of 99% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 89%. The H2FPEF score classified 86 (23%) of all patients into the high likelihood category (6–9 points) and 84 (23%) into the low likelihood category (0–1 point). HFpEF could be diagnosed with a high H2FPEF score (specificity, 97%; PPV, 94%) or ruled out with a low H2FPEF score (sensitivity, 97%; NPV, 93%). The diagnostic accuracy for the HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores was 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78–0.86) and 0.89 (95% CI 0.86–0.93), respectively, by the AUC of the ROC curve (P=0.004) (Figure 1A). In the HFA-PEFF sub-scores, the functional score showed little diagnostic value, while the morphological and biomarker scores showed moderate diagnostic value (Figure 1B).
Conclusions
The H2FPEF score may be more useful than the HFA-PEFF score in diagnosing HFpEF in Japanese patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD) sometimes are complicated with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the impact of AF and the use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) on the prognosis of AAD remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the prognostic impact of AF and OAC therapy in patients with type B AAD.
Methods
Consecutive patients diagnosed with type B AAD between January 2010 and December 2020 in our university hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into 2 groups based on the concomitance with or without AF. The primary endpoint was set as major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), including all-cause death, enlargement of aortic diameter, aortic ruptures, and cerebral infarction. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were constructed, and Cox proportional hazards analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of clinical events at 1 year.
Results
A total of 146 patients diagnosed with type B AAD were enrolled, with a mean age of 66±12 years, and 81% of male. Thirty-two patients (22%) experienced MACEs during 272±142 days-observation. Concomitant AF was observed in 27 patients (18%). In the Kaplan-Meier curve analysis, the patients with AF showed significantly higher events than those without AF (log-lank p<0.001). In the multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, presence of AF (HR: 2.402, 95% CI: 1.099–4.978 p=0.029), maximum descending aorta diameter (HR: 1.0366, 95% CI: 1.005–1.064 p=0.023), and age>75 years (HR: 2.635, 95% CI: 1.268–5.388 p=0.011) were independent predictors of MACEs. Regarding OAC in patients with AF, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that usage of OAC was associated with a higher incidence of MACEs than those without (log-rank, p=0.036)
Conclusion
Presence of AF, enlargement of descending aorta diameter, and age were independent predictors of future MACEs in patients with type B AAD. Additionally, usage of OAC is associated with MACEs in patients with type B AAD complicated with AF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A metabolomic study in the human heart suggested a pivotal role of amino acid (AA) metabolism in fatty acid oxidation, which is dysregulated in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure. We previously reported that aberrant up-regulation of AMP deaminase 3 (AMPD3) impairs cardiac energetics in T2DM hearts, and AMPD3 was recently shown to be activated by fasting and to promote AA metabolism and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle. A sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) has been shown to augment systemic AA metabolism, but its effect on cardiac AA metabolism remains unknown.
Purpose
We hypothesized that AMPD3 has a role in AA and lipid metabolism in cardiomyocytes and that the protective effect of an SGLT2i in diabetic hearts is mediated by modification of AA and lipid metabolism.
Methods and results
Proteomic analyses of AMPD3 immunoprecipitates in rat hearts revealed that AMPD3 interacted with the E1α and E2 components of the BCKDH complex, a rate-limiting enzyme of branched-chain AA (BCAA) catabolism. Immunoblotting using subcellular fractions revealed that BCKDH localized not only in the mitochondria matrix but also in the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and that AMPD3 interacted with BCKDH in the cytosol and ER. Despite comparable expression of BCKDH components and phosphorylation of E1α at Ser293, significant accumulation of BCAA was observed in T2DM rats (OLETF; 317±30 nmol/g) compared to that in control rats (LETO; 213±16 nmol/g), and the accumulation of BCAA was accompanied by up-regulation of AMPD3 in the cytosol and ER by 98% and 231%, respectively. In cardiomyocytes, disruption of BCAA catabolism by knockdown of BCKDH-E1α resulted in a 5.8-fold increase in AMPD3 at the transcriptional level and blunted lipid droplet biogenesis in response to a long-chain fatty acid challenge. Next, myocardial infarction (MI) was induced in LETO and OLETF pretreated with empagliflozin (10 mg/kg/day, 14 days) or a vehicle. Pathway analysis of cardiac metabolites revealed arginine biosynthesis and BCAA metabolism as the most significantly changed pathways with empagliflozin, with BCAA (791±187 nmol/g), glutamate, glutamine and urea being significantly increased. Empagliflozin restored myocardial ATP and survival after MI in OLETF to levels comparable to those in LETO. Electron microscopy showed a significantly higher prevalence of myocardium lipid droplets in OLETF, which was further increased by empagliflozin.
Conclusions
The results support the hypotheses that imbalance of extra-mitochondrial AMPD3-BCKDH interaction underlies dysregulated BCAA metabolism in T2DM hearts and that activation of cardiac AA metabolism by an SGLT2i normalizes fatty acid overload through sequestration into intracellular lipid droplets.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that affects multiple organs. Cardiac involvement is a key determinant of poor clinical outcomes in the patients with sarcoidosis, as it causes congestive heart failure, conduction abnormalities, ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation (VT/VF), and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are used to prevent SCD from VT/VF in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), the generalizability of the AHA/ACC/HRS guidelines for the Japanese CS patients remains unclear.
Purpose
We aimed to assess, among Japanese patients with CS, the ICD recommendations from the 2017 AHA/ACC/HRS Guidelines for Management of Patients with Ventricular Arrhythmias and the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death.
Methods
We examined 188 consecutive patients with CS in two tertiary hospitals between 1979 and 2020. The primary outcome was defined as a composite outcome involving SCD or ventricular arrhythmic events. Ventricular arrhythmic events were defined as either emergency treatment for VF or sustained VT, which included appropriate ICD therapy.
Results
During a median follow-up period of 5.68 (IQR: 4.87–6.70) years, the primary outcome occurred in 44 patients (23%), which included 6 cases of SCD and 38 cases of VT/VF. ICD implant was indicated based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≤35% (class I recommendation) in 62 patients, with an annualized event rate of 3.93%. A LVEF of >35% with a need for a permanent pacemaker (class IIa recommendation) was observed for 53 patients, with an annualized event rate of 2.54%. A LVEF of >35% with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) during cardiovascular magnetic resonance (class IIa recommendation) was observed for 62 patients, with an annualized event rate of 2.38% (Figure A). Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that patients with a class I recommendation for ICD implantation had a significant higher incidence of the primary outcome, compared to patients with a class IIa recommendation and patients with no indication for ICD implantation (P=0.03). However, there were no significant differences in the incidence of the primary outcome between patients with a LVEF of >35% and a need for a permanent pacemaker and patients with a class I recommendation (P=0.08) or patients with a LVEF of ≤35% (P=0.31). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the incidence of the primary outcome between patients with a LVEF of >35% and LGE on cardiovascular magnetic resonance and patients with a class I recommendation (P=0.054) or patients with a LVEF of ≤35% (P=0.22) (Figure B).
Conclusions
The American guideline recommendations for ICD implantation might be applicable to Japanese patients with CS. Implantation of an ICD may need to be considered in these patients if they require a permanent pacemaker or have LGE, regardless of LVEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Local impedance (LI) at a distal tip of the ablation catheter can indirectly measure catheter contact and tissue temperature during radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). LI decreases by RFCA, and a degree of LI drop is correlated with lesion size. However, data on the effects of catheter contact angle on lesion size and LI drop were scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of catheter contact angle on lesion size and LI drop in a porcine experimental study.
Methods
Lesions were created on porcine myocardial left ventricles by the LI-sensing ablation catheter (IntellaNav MiFi OI®). Contact force (CF) was measured using pressure to current transducer (load cell). Radiofrequency ablation was performed with a power of 30 Watt and a duration of 30 seconds. CF (0g, 5g, 10g, 20g, and 30g) and catheter angle (30°, 45°, and 90°) were changed in each set (total 120 lesions, n=8 each). LI rise, LI drop by RF application, and lesion size (maximum lesion width, maximum surface width, and maximum lesion depth) were evaluated.
Results
There was no angular dependence in LI rise in all CF. The values of LI rise increased as CF increased. The LI drop also increased as CF increased in all contact angles. Regarding the difference of catheter angles, LI drop with 90° was lower than those with 30° and 45°in CF 10g, 20g, and 30g, respectively. Maximum lesion width and surface width were larger in 30° and 45° than those in 90°, whereas there were no differences in maximum lesion depth.
Conclusion
LI drop in 90° were significantly lower than those in 45° and 30°. Although lesion depths were not different among the three angles, the absolute values of LI drop were different. Caution should be exercised to comprehend the LI drop with catheter angles.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that affects multiple organs. Among these, the presence of cardiac involvement is recognised as a determinant of worse clinical outcomes. Soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) is a potentially useful biomarker in the diagnosis and evaluation of disease severity in patients with sarcoidosis. However, it remains to be seen whether sIL-2R is associated with the severity and activity of disease in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS).
Purpose
The aims of this study were to investigate whether sIL-2R was associated with clinical outcomes and to clarify the relationship between sIL-2R levels and disease activity evaluated by 18F-fluorideoxyglucose in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in patients with CS.
Methods
We examined 101 consecutive patients with CS who were admitted to our University HospitalbetweenMay 2003 and February 2020. Patients who had no data of serum sIL-2R levels before initiation of immunosuppressive therapy (n=18) were excluded. Ultimately, 83 patients were examined in this study. The primary outcome was a composite of advanced atrioventricular block (AVB), ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF), heart failure hospitalisation, and all-cause death. Inflammatory activity in the myocardium and lymph nodes were assessed by18F-FDG PET/CT. We used a published program to analyse the cardiac metabolic activity (CMA), and total lymph node glycolysis (TLyG), which are quantitative measures of FDG volume-intensity.
Results
During a median follow-up period of 2.96 (interquartile range 2.24–4.27) years, the primary outcome occurred in 24 patients (29%), including 1 advanced AVB, 13 VT/VF, 5 hospitalisations for heart failure, and 5 all-cause deaths. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that the primary outcome occurred more frequently in patients with higher sIL-2R levels (>538 U/mL, the median) than in those with lower sIL-2R levels (Figure). A multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that a higher sIL-2R level was independently associated with an increased subsequent risk of adverse events (hazard ratio 3.71, 95% confidence interval 1.63–8.44, p=0.002), even after adjustments for age, plasma B-type natriuretic peptide, estimated glomerular filtration rate, left ventricular ejection fraction, and late gadolinium enhancement, which are known to be strong determinants of worse clinical outcomes in patients with CS (Table). Furthermore, sIL-2R levels were significantly correlated with TLyG, the inflammatory activity in lymph nodes (r=0.346, p=0.003) but not with CMA, the inflammatory activity in myocardium (r=0.131, p=0.27).
Conclusions
Increased sIL-2R is associated with worse long-term clinical outcomes accompanied by increased systemic inflammatory activity in CS patients. These findings suggest the importance of assessing sIL-2R as a surrogate marker for further risk stratification in these patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Deep learning approaches have shown high diagnostic performance in image classifications, such as differentiation of malignant tumors and calcified coronary plaque. However, it is unknown whether deep learning is useful for characterizing coronary plaques without the presence of calcification using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of deep learning with a convolutional neural network (CNN) with that of radiologists in the estimation of coronary plaques. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 178 patients (191 coronary plaques) who had undergone CCTA and integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasonography (IB-IVUS) studies. IB-IVUS diagnosed 81 fibrous and 110 fatty or fibro-fatty plaques. We manually captured vascular short-axis images of the coronary plaques as Portable Network Graphics (PNG) images (150 × 150 pixels). The display window level and width were 100 and 700 Hounsfield units (HU), respectively. The deep-learning system (CNN; GoogleNet Inception v3) was trained on 153 plaques; its performance was tested on 38 plaques. The area under the curve (AUC) obtained by receiver operating characteristic analysis of the deep learning system and by two board-certified radiologists was compared. RESULTS With the CNN, the AUC and the 95% confidence interval were 0.83 and 0.69-0.96, respectively; for radiologist 1 they were 0.61 and 0.42-0.80; for radiologist 2 they were 0.68 and 0.51-0.86, respectively. The AUC for CNN was significantly higher than for radiologists 1 (p = 0.04); for radiologist 2 it was not significantly different (p = 0.22). CONCLUSION DL-CNN performed comparably to radiologists for discrimination between fatty and fibro-fatty plaque on CCTA images. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The diagnostic performance of the CNN and of two radiologists in the assessment of 191 ROIs on CT images of coronary plaques whose type corresponded with their IB-IVUS characterization was comparable.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Can the gas-liquid interface organ culture system that achieved in vitro spermatogenesis in mice also support in vitro spermatogenesis in human adult testis?
Summary answer
Although the progression of spermatogenesis was not observed, germ cells were maintained without the degeneration of the architecture in both fresh and cryopreserved testicular tissues.
What is known already
Although the research on in vitro spermatogenesis have been conducted for 100 years, only the organ culture system using gas-liquid interface method achieved in vitro spermatogenesis in mice. It has not been verified whether this culture system can be applied to other mammals including humans and induce spermatogenesis.
Study design, size, duration
Testicular tissue was obtained from the transgender patients receiving sex reassignment surgery. Testicular specimens were either immediately processed for cultivation or cryopreserved, using a vitrification freezing protocol. Organ culture of testicular fragments was performed in three different media for a maximum period of 3 weeks to evaluate the short-term changes in the cultured tissues (viability, proliferation and maintenance of germ and somatic cells).
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Fresh and cryopreserved-thawed testis fragments (1–2 mm3) were cultured using the organ culture system in alpha-MEM with knock-out serum replacement (K group), alpha-MEM with lipid-rich BSA (A group) and DMEM with FBS (D group). Luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and testosterone were supplemented. The number of germ cells (using DDX4), proliferative activity of germ cells (using EdU assay) and intratubular cell apoptosis (by TdT-mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling) were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining weekly.
Main results and the role of chance
The architecture of the seminiferous tubules was maintained until the second week of culture in both the fresh and the cryopreserved culture group. The number of DDX4-positive germ cells per seminiferous tubule in groups D, K, and A was 49 ± 24, 55 ± 21, 50 ± 26 cells/tubule in 1 day, 32 ± 13, 42 ± 7, 36 ± 21 cells/tubule in 1week, respectively. The numbers gradually decreased to 26 ± 8, 24 ± 6 and 27 ± 18 cells/tubule, in 2 weeks, respectively, with no difference among the groups. The number of intratubular EdU-positive cells of groups D, K, and A was 0.2 ± 0.2, 2.8 ± 2.1, 1.1 ± 0.8 cells/tubule at 1 day, 0.1 ± 0.2, 0.5 ± 0.6, 0.3 ± 0.6 cells/tubule at 1 week, respectively. The values were 0.01, 0.05, and 0.03 at 2 weeks. Thus, EdU-positive cells drastically decreased from the first week of culture. The number of DDX4-positive germ cells and the intratubular EdU-positive cells in the cryopreserved culture group was not different from that in the fresh culture group.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Current organ culture systems are incomplete, being unable to induce human in vitro spermatogenesis. Further research is needed to improve culture condition with the aim of producing fertile sperm of infertile adult male patients.
Wider implications of the findings: Our organ culture system could maintain testis structure and germ cells. By using the testis tissues of the transgender patients, which are available with their consent, we will promote the investigation of the culture condition necessary for germ cell proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES S-1 monotherapy with concurrent radiotherapy (RT) is a standard of care for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC). Although renal dysfunction increases S-1 monotherapy toxicity, its effect in S-1 with concurrent RT remains unknown. We evaluated the effect of renal function on the safety of S-1 with RT for LAPC. METHODS We performed an integrated exploratory post hoc analysis of data from 2 prospective studies (JCOG1106 and LAPC-S1RT), where patients with LAPC received RT (50.4 Gy/28 fraction for 5.5 weeks) and concurrent S-1 (40 mg/m2 per dose, twice daily on the day of irradiation). We split the patients into high creatinine clearance (CCr; ≥80 mL/min) and low CCr (<80 mL/min) groups and compared the findings to determine treatment safety. RESULTS The high and low CCr groups showed a median of 97.5 (range, 80.0-194.6) and 64.4 (range, 50.0-78.3) mL/min, respectively. The low CCr group presented more adverse reactions (ARs) of grade 3 or higher and gastrointestinal ARs of grade 2 or higher than the high CCr group (30.8% vs 15.8% and 51.9% vs 36.8%). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of ARs associated with concurrent S-1 and RT increases in patients with low CCr; therefore, ARs should be duly considered in such patients.

Constraints on Cosmic Strings Using Data from the Third Advanced LIGO-Virgo Observing Run. PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS 2021; 126:241102. [PMID: 34213926 DOI: 10.1103/physrevd.97.102002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2021] [Revised: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 05/21/2023]
Abstract
We search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 dataset. Search results are presented for gravitational waves produced by cosmic string loop features such as cusps, kinks, and, for the first time, kink-kink collisions. A template-based search for short-duration transient signals does not yield a detection. We also use the stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density upper limits derived from the O3 data to constrain the cosmic string tension Gμ as a function of the number of kinks, or the number of cusps, for two cosmic string loop distribution models. Additionally, we develop and test a third model that interpolates between these two models. Our results improve upon the previous LIGO-Virgo constraints on Gμ by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude depending on the model that is tested. In particular, for the one-loop distribution model, we set the most competitive constraints to date: Gμ≲4×10^{-15}. In the case of cosmic strings formed at the end of inflation in the context of grand unified theories, these results challenge simple inflationary models.

Abstract
We search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 dataset. Search results are presented for gravitational waves produced by cosmic string loop features such as cusps, kinks, and, for the first time, kink-kink collisions. A template-based search for short-duration transient signals does not yield a detection. We also use the stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density upper limits derived from the O3 data to constrain the cosmic string tension Gμ as a function of the number of kinks, or the number of cusps, for two cosmic string loop distribution models. Additionally, we develop and test a third model that interpolates between these two models. Our results improve upon the previous LIGO-Virgo constraints on Gμ by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude depending on the model that is tested. In particular, for the one-loop distribution model, we set the most competitive constraints to date: Gμ≲4×10^{-15}. In the case of cosmic strings formed at the end of inflation in the context of grand unified theories, these results challenge simple inflationary models.

Characteristics of hospital differences in missing of clinical laboratory test results in a multi-hospital observational database contributing to MID-NET® in Japan. BMC Med Inform Decis Mak 2021; 21:181. [PMID: 34090442 PMCID: PMC8180009 DOI: 10.1186/s12911-021-01543-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background In Japan, a multiple-hospital observational database system, the Medical Information Database Network (MID-NET®), was launched for post-marketing drug safety assessments. These assessments will be based on datasets with missing laboratory results. The characteristics of missing data considering hospital differences have not been evaluated. We assessed the missing proportion and the association between missingness and a factor through case studies using a database system, a part of MID-NET®. Methods Seven scenarios using laboratory results before the prescription of the assessed drug as baseline covariates and data from 10 hospitals of Tokushukai Medical Group were used. The missing proportion and the association between missingness and patient background were investigated per hospital. The associations were assessed using the log of adjusted odds ratio (log-aOR). Additionally, an ad hoc survey was conducted to explore other factors affecting the missingness. Results For some laboratory tests, missing proportions varied among hospitals, such as 7.4–44.4% of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and 8.1–31.2% of triglyceride (TG) among statin users. The association between missingness and affecting factors also differed among hospitals for some factors; example, the log-aOR of hospitalization associated with missingness of TG was − 0.41 (95% CI, − 1.06 to 0.24) in hospital 3 and 1.84 (95% CI, 1.34 to 2.34) in hospital 4. In the ad hoc survey focusing on ALP, hospital-dependent differences in the ordering system settings were observed. Conclusions Hospital differences in missing data appeared in some laboratory tests in our multi-hospital observational database, which could be attributed to the affecting factors, including the patient background.

Association of prenatal maternal blood lead levels with birth outcomes in the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS): a nationwide birth cohort study. Int J Epidemiol 2021; 50:156-164. [PMID: 33141187 DOI: 10.1093/ije/dyaa162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Accepted: 07/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite dramatic declines in prenatal maternal blood lead levels (BLLs) in most developed countries, little is known about the effects of extremely low-level (<1.0 µg/dL) lead exposure on fetal growth. METHODS We measured maternal BLL during the second or third trimester of pregnancy and assessed birth outcomes, including birthweight, preterm birth (<37 gestational weeks) risk, small for gestational age births (SGA; birthweight <10th percentile) and low birthweight (LBW; <2500 g). The association between birthweight and maternal BLL was estimated using linear and quadratic spline models. Multivariable logistic models were used to examine the risk of binary responses. RESULTS From 103 099 pregnant women, 20 000 blood samples were randomly selected for analysis. The maternal BLL range was 0.16-7.4 µg/dL, and the median was 0.63 µg/dL. After adjusting for covariates, the linear model showed that each 0.1 μg/dL increase in maternal BLL was associated with a 5.4 g decrease in mean birthweight [95% confidence interval (CI), 3.4 to 7.5 g]. The risk of SGA [adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 1.03; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.05) and LBW (aOR, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.05) increased, whereas the risk of preterm delivery did not (aOR, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.97 to 1.02). CONCLUSIONS Even at a maternal BLL below 1.0 µg/dL, prenatal lead exposure was associated with decreased birthweight and increased risk of SGA and LBW, but not preterm delivery. The adverse effect estimates of prenatal lead exposure on birth outcomes were quantitatively small and clinically limited at this low level.
