Ogawa A, Miyaji K, Matsubara H. Efficacy and safety of long-term imatinib therapy for patients with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease and pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis. Respir Med 2017; 131:215-219. [PMID: 28947033 DOI: 10.1016/j.rmed.2017.08.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2017] [Revised: 08/26/2017] [Accepted: 08/31/2017] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary veno-occlusive disease (PVOD) and pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) are categorized as Group 1' in the clinical classification of pulmonary hypertension. No medical therapy has been proven to be effective in patients with PVOD/PCH. Imatinib is a molecular targeted drug and was expected to be effective in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. We evaluated its efficacy and safety in patients with PVOD/PCH. METHODS In the present observational study, 9 patients with PVOD/PCH received imatinib. Clinical data including exercise capacity and hemodynamics at baseline and at follow-up were compared. Survival rate of patients treated with imatinib was compared to those of 7 patients who did not treated with imatinib. RESULTS Imatinib was prescribed at doses of 100-400 mg/day and was well-tolerated. At follow-up, World Health Organization functional class and brain natriuretic peptide levels significantly improved. Mean pulmonary arterial pressure was significantly reduced (from 56.8 ± 8.3 to 43.7 ± 9.0 mmHg) with preserved cardiac index. Patients were treated with imatinib for 797.2 ± 487.0 days. Seven patients (77.8%) died and 2 patients (22.2%) underwent lung transplantation. Mean survival time in patients treated with imatinib therapy was 1493.7 ± 196.3 days (95% confidence interval, 1108.9-1878.5 days), significantly longer than those without imatinib treatment (713.0 ± 258.1 days, log-rank test, P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Imatinib improved exercise capacity, hemodynamics and survival in patients with PVOD/PCH. In patients with PVOD/PCH, who have no effective medical therapy available, imatinib might function as a bridge to lung transplantation, and may become a potential therapeutic option to improve their survival.

Abstract
We report the first dijet transverse momentum asymmetry measurements from Au+Au and pp collisions at RHIC. The two highest-energy back-to-back jets reconstructed from fragments with transverse momenta above 2 GeV/c display a significantly higher momentum imbalance in heavy-ion collisions than in the pp reference. When reexamined with correlated soft particles included, we observe that these dijets then exhibit a unique new feature-momentum balance is restored to that observed in pp for a jet resolution parameter of R=0.4, while rebalancing is not attained with a smaller value of R=0.2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The trend of the initial treatment strategy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has changed from monotherapies to upfront combination therapies. This study analyzed treatments and outcomes in Japanese patients with PAH, using data from the Japan PH Registry (JAPHR), which is the first organized multicenter registry for PAH in Japan.Methods and Results:We studied 189 consecutive patients (108 treatment-naïve and 81 background therapy patients) with PAH in 8 pulmonary hypertension (PH) centers enrolled from April 2008 to March 2013. We performed retrospective survival analyses and analyzed the association between upfront combination and hemodynamic improvement, adjusting for baseline NYHA classification status. Among the 189 patients, 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were 97.0% (95% CI: 92.1-98.4), 92.6% (95% CI: 87.0-95.9), and 88.2% (95% CI: 81.3-92.7), respectively. In the treatment-naïve cohort, 33% of the patients received upfront combination therapy. In this cohort, 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were 97.6% (95% CI: 90.6-99.4), 97.6% (95% CI: 90.6-99.4), and 95.7% (95% CI: 86.9-98.6), respectively. Patients on upfront combination therapy were 5.27-fold more likely to show hemodynamic improvement at the first follow-up compared with monotherapy (95% CI: 2.68-10.36). CONCLUSIONS According to JAPHR data, initial upfront combination therapy is associated with improvement in hemodynamic status.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the elliptic anisotropy (v_{2}) of the charm meson D^{0} at midrapidity (|y|<1) in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The measurement was conducted by the STAR experiment at RHIC utilizing a new high-resolution silicon tracker. The measured D^{0} v_{2} in 0%-80% centrality Au+Au collisions can be described by a viscous hydrodynamic calculation for a transverse momentum (p_{T}) of less than 4 GeV/c. The D^{0} v_{2} as a function of transverse kinetic energy (m_{T}-m_{0}, where m_{T}=sqrt[p_{T}^{2}+m_{0}^{2}]) is consistent with that of light mesons in 10%-40% centrality Au+Au collisions. These results suggest that charm quarks have achieved local thermal equilibrium with the medium created in such collisions. Several theoretical models, with the temperature-dependent, dimensionless charm spatial diffusion coefficient (2πTD_{s}) in the range of ∼2-12, are able to simultaneously reproduce our D^{0} v_{2} result and our previously published results for the D^{0} nuclear modification factor.

Abstract
Idiopathic/heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension has a poor prognosis despite the available therapeutic options. Survival of Japanese patients with this disease entity has not been reported in the multicenter setting. A retrospective study of 141 patients with idiopathic/heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension treated at 3 pulmonary hypertension centers in Japan from 1992 to 2012 investigated survival and determinants of survival. Mean survival time from treatment initiation was 14.7 ± 0.8 years (95% confidence interval, 13.1 to 16.3 years) and the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates were 97.9%, 92.1%, 85.8%, and 69.5%, respectively. Patients showed significant improvement in exercise capacity and hemodynamics after treatment. Patients with 6-minute walk distance >372 m, mean pulmonary arterial pressure ≤46 mm Hg, and cardiac index >2.5 L/min/m2 at follow-up had a significantly better prognosis. Most patients (99.2%) were receiving pulmonary hypertension-targeted drugs at follow-up. Use of endothelin receptor antagonists and intravenous epoprostenol were related to survival in the univariate analysis. Among the patients who were on intravenous epoprostenol therapy, those with endothelin receptor antagonists had a significantly better prognosis, whereas patients on warfarin had a significantly worse prognosis. In conclusion, survival of Japanese patients with idiopathic/heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension in this study was good, showing improvement in hemodynamic parameters supported by pulmonary hypertension-targeted drugs.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe lung disease with only few effective treatments available. Familial cases of PAH are usually recognized as an autosomal dominant disease, but incomplete penetrance of the disease makes it difficult to identify pathogenic variants in accordance with a Mendelian pattern of inheritance. Methods To elucidate the complex genetic basis of PAH, we obtained whole exome- or genome-sequencing data of 17 subjects from 9 families with heritable PAH and applied gene-based association analysis with 9 index patients and 300 PAH-free controls. Results A burden of rare variants in BMPR2 significantly contributed to the risk of the disease (p = 6.0 × 10−8). Eight of nine families carried four previously reported single nucleotide variants and four novel insertion/deletion variants in the gene. One of the novel variants was a large 6.5 kilobase-deletion. In the remaining one family, the patient carried a pathogenic variant in a member of potassium channels, KCNK3, which was the first replicative finding of channelopathy in an Asian population. Conclusions The variety of rare pathogenic variants suggests that gene-based association analysis using genome-wide sequencing data from increased number of samples is essential to tracing the genetic heterogeneity and developing an appropriate panel for genetic testing.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of charge-dependent directed flow in Cu+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The results are presented as a function of the particle transverse momentum and pseudorapidity for different centralities. A finite difference between the directed flow of positive and negative charged particles is observed that qualitatively agrees with the expectations from the effects of the initial strong electric field between two colliding ions with different nuclear charges. The measured difference in directed flow is much smaller than that obtained from the parton-hadron-string-dynamics model, which suggests that most of the electric charges, i.e., quarks and antiquarks, have not yet been created during the lifetime of the strong electric field, which is of the order of, or less than, 1 fm/c.

Abstract
An immediately electrically detachable coil (IEDC) that we previously developed was modified to enhance the reliability in its detachment system. IEDC is detached by applying a monopolar high-frequency electrical current that heat and disrupt a junction between a platinum coil and a delivery wire. The original IEDC immediately detaches only when the junction is just outside the catheter tip and precise positioning of the junction is required. In the modified IEDC Its delivery wire was insulated with polytetra fluoroethylene (PTFE) to concentrate electrical current to the junction. The modified IEDC was tested in vitro and in animal experiments. Modified IEDC always detached instantaneously even when the junction was far beyond the catheter tip. Insulated delivery wire enabled the electrical current to be concentrated at the PVA junction and produce appropriate heat to disrupt the junction.

Abstract
We present the measurement of the transverse single-spin asymmetry of weak boson production in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions at sqrt[s]=500 GeV by the STAR experiment at RHIC. The measured observable is sensitive to the Sivers function, one of the transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions, which is predicted to have the opposite sign in proton-proton collisions from that observed in deep inelastic lepton-proton scattering. These data provide the first experimental investigation of the nonuniversality of the Sivers function, fundamental to our understanding of QCD.

Abstract
We present results from a harmonic decomposition of two-particle azimuthal correlations measured with the STAR detector in Au+Au collisions for energies ranging from sqrt[s_{NN}]=7.7 to 200 GeV. The third harmonic v_{3}^{2}{2}=⟨cos3(ϕ_{1}-ϕ_{2})⟩, where ϕ_{1}-ϕ_{2} is the angular difference in azimuth, is studied as a function of the pseudorapidity difference between particle pairs Δη=η_{1}-η_{2}. Nonzero v_{3}^{2}{2} is directly related to the previously observed large-Δη narrow-Δϕ ridge correlations and has been shown in models to be sensitive to the existence of a low viscosity quark gluon plasma phase. For sufficiently central collisions, v_{3}^{2}{2} persist down to an energy of 7.7 GeV, suggesting that quark gluon plasma may be created even in these low energy collisions. In peripheral collisions at these low energies, however, v_{3}^{2}{2} is consistent with zero. When scaled by the pseudorapidity density of charged-particle multiplicity per participating nucleon pair, v_{3}^{2}{2} for central collisions shows a minimum near sqrt[s_{NN}]=20 GeV.

Abstract
We present high precision measurements of elliptic flow near midrapidity (|y|<1.0) for multistrange hadrons and ϕ meson as a function of centrality and transverse momentum in Au+Au collisions at center of mass energy √[sNN]=200 GeV. We observe that the transverse momentum dependence of ϕ and Ω v2 is similar to that of π and p, respectively, which may indicate that the heavier strange quark flows as strongly as the lighter up and down quarks. This observation constitutes a clear piece of evidence for the development of partonic collectivity in heavy-ion collisions at the top RHIC energy. Number of constituent quark scaling is found to hold within statistical uncertainty for both 0%-30% and 30%-80% collision centrality. There is an indication of the breakdown of previously observed mass ordering between ϕ and proton v2 at low transverse momentum in the 0%-30% centrality range, possibly indicating late hadronic interactions affecting the proton v2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Preoperative identification of plaque vulnerability may allow improved risk stratification for patients considered for carotid endarterectomy. The present study aimed to determine which plaque imaging technique, cardiac-gated black-blood fast spin-echo, magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition of gradient echo, source image of 3D time-of-flight MR angiography, or noncardiac-gated spin-echo, most accurately predicts development of microembolic signals during exposure of carotid arteries in carotid endarterectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty patients with ICA stenosis (≥70%) underwent the 4 sequences of preoperative MR plaque imaging of the affected carotid bifurcation and then carotid endarterectomy under transcranial Doppler monitoring of microembolic signals in the ipsilateral middle cerebral artery. The contrast ratio of the carotid plaque was calculated by dividing plaque signal intensity by sternocleidomastoid muscle signal intensity. RESULTS Microembolic signals during exposure of carotid arteries were detected in 23 patients (29%), 3 of whom developed new neurologic deficits postoperatively. Those deficits remained at 24 hours after surgery in only 1 patient. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve to discriminate between the presence and absence of microembolic signals during exposure of the carotid arteries was significantly greater with nongated spin-echo than with black-blood fast spin-echo (difference between areas, 0.258; P < .0001), MPRAGE (difference between areas, 0.106; P = .0023), or source image of 3D time-of-flight MR angiography (difference between areas, 0.128; P = .0010). Negative binomial regression showed that in the 23 patients with microembolic signals, the contrast ratio was associated with the number of microembolic signals only in nongated spin-echo (risk ratio, 1.36; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-1.97; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Nongated spin-echo may predict the development of microembolic signals during exposure of the carotid arteries in carotid endarterectomy more accurately than other MR plaque imaging techniques.

Abstract
We report the observation of transverse polarization-dependent azimuthal correlations in charged pion pair production with the STAR experiment in p^{↑}+p collisions at RHIC. These correlations directly probe quark transversity distributions. We measure signals in excess of 5 standard deviations at high transverse momenta, at high pseudorapidities η>0.5, and for pair masses around the mass of the ρ meson. This is the first direct transversity measurement in p+p collisions.

Abstract
Collisions between prolate uranium nuclei are used to study how particle production and azimuthal anisotropies depend on initial geometry in heavy-ion collisions. We report the two- and four-particle cumulants, v_{2}{2} and v_{2}{4}, for charged hadrons from U+U collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=193 GeV and Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. Nearly fully overlapping collisions are selected based on the energy deposited by spectators in zero degree calorimeters (ZDCs). Within this sample, the observed dependence of v_{2}{2} on multiplicity demonstrates that ZDC information combined with multiplicity can preferentially select different overlap configurations in U+U collisions. We also show that v_{2} vs multiplicity can be better described by models, such as gluon saturation or quark participant models, that eliminate the dependence of the multiplicity on the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions.

Abstract
We report a new measurement of the midrapidity inclusive jet longitudinal double-spin asymmetry, A_{LL}, in polarized pp collisions at center-of-mass energy sqrt[s]=200 GeV. The STAR data place stringent constraints on polarized parton distribution functions extracted at next-to-leading order from global analyses of inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (DIS), semi-inclusive DIS, and RHIC pp data. The measured asymmetries provide evidence at the 3σ level for positive gluon polarization in the Bjorken-x region x>0.05.
