Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac troponin (cTn) is the preferred biomarker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Octogenarians who presented cTn positive AMI are not usually recruited in clinical trials. Therefore, their clinical characteristics and prognosis are rarely investigated.
Objective
To study the characteristics and prognosis in octogenarians who presented cTn positive AMI.
Methods and results
The Japanese registry of acute Myocardial INfarction diagnosed by Universal dEfiniTion (J-MINUET) is a prospective and multicenter registry. A total of 3,283 consecutive AMI patients who were diagnosed by cTn-based criteria were included. The patients were divided into non-octogenarians (n=2,593) and octogenarians (n=690). Compared with non- octogenarians, octogenarians showed significantly lower incidence of diabetes mellitus (37.6% and 31.9%, p=0.006) and dyslipidemia (53.6% and 45.6%, p<0.001), and significantly higher incidence of hypertension (64.1% and 75.3%, p<0.001) and chronic kidney disease (38.7% and 68.7%, p<0.001). Octogenarians showed significantly longer onset to door time (p<0.001) and longer door to device time (p<0.001). Though, compared with non-octogenarians, octogenarians showed lower peak CK (2,506 and 1,926, p<0.001), LVEF was significantly lower in octogenarians (54.6% and 52.6%, p=0.005). The presentation of AMI was different between the two group. The incidence of ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) was 70.7% in non-octogenarians and 62.0% in octogenarians. Non-STEMI with CK elevation and without CK elevation were 16.2% and 13.1% in non- octogenarians, and 20.9% and 17.1% in octogenarians. In-hospital mortality was higher in octogenarians (4.7% and 13.2%, P<0.001). Especially, octogenarians with STEMI and non-STEMI with CK elevation showed the highest in-hospital mortality. And octogenarians without CK elevation showed similar in hospital mortality with non-octogenarians with STEMI (Figure).
Conclusions
J-MINUET showed the poor prognosis of octogenarians who were diagnosed as AMI based on cTn.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) has been widely used in clinical settings. Although favorable results of imaging-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) compared with angio-guided PCI were observed in several studies, impacts of institutional-based usage frequency, about imaging-guided PCI, have not been well elucidated.
Methods
To elucidate the impact of imaging-guided PCI and the effects of frequency of its usage, we analyzed data of the Japanese registry of acute Myocardial INfarction diagnosed by Universal dEfiniTion (J-MINUET). This was a prospective and multicenter registry consisting of 3,283 AMI patients, who were hospitalized within 48 hours of onset from July 2012 to March 2014. Clinical follow-up data was obtained for 3 years. In this sub-study, a total of 2,788 patients who underwent urgent PCI having detailed procedural information were enrolled. We analyzed the differences of utilization rates of imaging-guided PCI among the participating institutions and the impacts for the clinical events. The participating institutions were divided into 3 groups by the frequency of IVUS usage: low frequency institutions: under 50%; moderate frequency institutions: 50% to 90%; and, high frequency institutions: over 90%.
Results
In this cohort registry, patients were enrolled from 28 institutions. The utilization rate of coronary imaging varied widely depending on each institution from 15.4% to 100% (mean 85.7%±24.3, median 97.4%). When the institutions were divided into 3 groups by the frequency of intravascular imaging usage, four low frequency institutions enrolled 295 patients, five moderate frequency institutions enrolled 624 patients, and 19 high frequency institutions enrolled 1,491 patients. Although the incidence of MACE (death, MI, stroke, cardiac failure, or revascularization for unstable angina) decreased stepwise (33.2%, 23.7%, and 19.7%) (gray bar in the Figure), the event rates of the imaging-guided PCI cases among the 3 groups were comparable (21.6%, 21.9%, and 19.6%) (white bar in the Figure). On the other hand, a gradual event reduction between the 3 groups was observed in the angio-guided PCI cases (black bar in the Figure). In comparison of MACE rate between imaging-guided and angio-guided PCI, there were statistically significant differences in the low frequency and moderate frequency institutions (p=0.001 and p=0.012, respectively). In contrast, comparable event rates were observed in the high frequency institutions (p=0.441).
MACE rate by imaging usage frequency
Conclusions
In Japanese ACS patients treated with imaging-guided PCI, better suppression of clinical events during 3-year was found in the institutions with the more frequent use of intravascular imaging, mainly due to stepwise event suppression in the cases of angio-guided PCI. On the other hand, the clinical benefit of coronary imaging was obtained independently of the frequency of use and its experience.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Fulminant myocarditis is one of the fatal diseases for which effective management has not yet been established. Immunosuppressive therapy (IST) using corticosteroid has been actively applied to giant cell or eosinophilic myocarditis, there is no consensus on the efficacy of lymphocytic myocarditis, which is suspected of involving viral infection. Actually, IST for lymphocytic myocarditis is not recommended in the European Society of Cardiology guidelines, but in the Japanese Circulation Society guidelines, it is approved for use in refractory cases in the absence of curative therapy for myocarditis established.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to explore the potential efficacy of immunosuppressive therapy on acute phase in fulminant lymphocytic myocarditis (FLM) requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support.
Method
We conducted CHANGE-PUMP study that was retrospectively enrolled 99 patients with fulminant myocarditis required VA-ECMO support in the Tokai area (central part of Japan) for the past 20 years. Lymphocytic myocarditis was defined by pathological category. Patients were divided into two groups depending on whether IST using corticosteroid was performed in the clinical course. Results: Sixty-six patients were pathologically diagnosed as fulminant myocarditis by endomyocardial biopsy, of which only 49 patients were FLM. IST were indicated in 8 (16%) out of 49 patients of FLM (IST group; n=8, non-IST group; n=41). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a lower survival rate in the IST group than in the non-IST group (p=0.073). However, in all cases, based on our guidelines, IST was initiated after becoming refractory to MCS treatment.
Immunosupressive therapy and prognosis
Conclusion
In the retrospective analysis, biopsy-proven FLM patients with IST required VA-ECMO support had low survival rates. However, the timing of IST introduction was late and concerned. In the present era when advanced mechanical support appears and the survival rate of fulminant myocarditis is expected to improve, a multicenter prospective study is needed to establish an indication of IST in the acute phase of fulminant myocarditis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) based strategy for coronary artery disease (CAD) is widely accepted. However, cardiac events could occur at deferred lesions after FFR. We previous reported that CT derived high risk plaque (HRP) and residual stenosis were the independent predictors of cardiac events.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate if plaque characteristics on CTA could predict cardiac events in deferred lesions after FFR.
Methods
We included 211 vessels of 193 patients who were deferred revascularization after CTA and invasive FFR. The presence of HRP and the stenosis grading on CTA were analyzed.
Results
Median follow-up period after CTA was 623 days (IQR 302–945). HRP and obstructive stenosis were detected in 58 (27.5%) and 87 (41.2%) lesions, respectively. Cardiac events were occurred in 10 lesions at 440±167 days in average (range: 150–770 days). Multivaliate cox hazard regression analysis revealed that HRP (HR8.01, p=0.0032) and obstructive stenosis with ≥70% (HR 34.93, p<0.0001) were the independent predictors of cardiac events after adjusted for age, sex, and FFR≤0.8. Of 21 lesions with both HRP and obstructive stenosis, 29% lesions resulted in cardiac events in 2 years.
Conclusions
Even in the deferred lesions by invasive FFR, lesions with HRP and obstructive stenosis showed high rate of cardiac events. These lesions should be treated with intensive medical therapy to prevent cardiac events.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease which can involve any organs. The reported prevalence of isolated cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) varies widely because of the lack of an agreed definition of isolated CS (iCS). ICS was newly defined in the new guidelines for CS by Japanese Circulation Society.
Purpose
We aimed to examine the diagnostic accuracy of 18F-FDG PET/CT and the ratio of iCS in the whole CS by reviewing the patients with suspected CS undergoing the whole-body and cardiac FDG PET/CT scans.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 74 consecutive patients undergoing 18F-FDG PET/CT from 2013 to 2018 (mean age 60±14 years, 37 male) without the initiation of corticosteroid. Myocardial FDG uptake in CS was defined as a “focal” or “focal on diffuse” pattern. Systemic sarcoidosis (sCS) and iCS were diagnosed according to guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of CS by Japanese Circulation Society. In short, iCS was diagnosed clinically when no clinical findings of sarcoidosis in any other organs and FDG uptake in heart were shown in addition to the following three of four criteria: high-grade atrioventricular block or fatal ventricular arrhythmia, structural abnormality, left ventricular contractile dysfunction, and delayed Gadolinium enhancement of myocardium on MRI.
Results
Of 31 patients with extra-cardiac sarcoidosis, 10 already met the diagnostic criteria of sCS before undergoing 18F-FDG PET/CT and 11 was newly diagnosed as sCS after FDG PET/CT. Of the remaining 43 without extra-cardiac sarcoidosis, 18 had FDG uptake in heart. Of 18 with FDG uptake in heart, iCS was diagnosed in 7, and sCS in 3 with extra-cardiac uptake of FDG as well as myocardium. Finally, 24 and 7 patients met the criteria of sCS and iCS based on the guideline, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of FDG PET/CT for CS including sCS and iCS were 90, 87, 88, 85, and 92%, respectively.
Conclusion
The ratio of iCS on the basis of new guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of CS was 22% of the whole CS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The CHADS2score has mainly been used to predict the likelihood of cerebrovascular accidents in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, increasing attention is being paid to this scoring system for risk stratification of patients with coronary artery disease. We investigated the value of the CHADS2 score in predicting cardiovascular events in Japanese acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients without atrial fibrillation.
Methods
To elucidate the prognostic value of CHADS2score in AMI patients, we analysed data of the Japanese registry of acute Myocardial INfarction diagnosed by Universal dEfiniTion (J-MINUET). This was a prospective and multicenter registry consisting of 3,283 AMI patients, who were hospitalized within 48-hours of onset from July 2012 to March 2014. We calculated the CHADS2 scores for 3,044 patients without clinical evidence of atrial fibrillation. The presence of heart failure was substituted by Killip classification>2 on admission. Clinical follow-up data was obtained for 3 years. In addition to the in-hospital mortality,we evaluated cardiovascular events, defined as all cause deathor non-fatal MI during 3-year follow up periods.
Results
In this study, enrolled patients were classified into low- (point 0–1), intermediate- (point 2–3), and high-score (point 4–6) groups by calculating CHADS2 score. Overall patients with low, intermediate and high score were divided into 1,395, 1,393 and 256 patients, respectively. In-hospital mortality among low, intermediate, and high score groups were 2.8%, 7.4% and 14.8%, respectively (P<0.001). The incidence of cardiovascular eventsamong low, intermediate, and high score groups were 7.8%, 16.3%, 29.3%, respectively (P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significant difference between the groups (Figure). The event rates were significantly higher in both high score and intermediate score group than in low score group (P<0.001). Multivariate Cox hazard analysis identified CHADS2 score (per 1 point) as an independent predictor of cardiovascular events in addition to chronic kidney disease and lower body mass index. (hazard ratio, 1.344; 95% CI, 1.239–1.459; P<0.001). Among the factors constituting CHADS2 score, heart failure and age were identified as independent predictors for in-hospital mortality. With respect to the cardiovascular event during 3 years, heart failure, age, and previous stroke were revealed as significant independent predictors.
Conclusion
This large cohort study indicated that the CHADS2 score is useful for the prediction of in-hospital mortality and the cardiovascular events during 3-year follow up in Japanese AMI patients without atrial fibrillation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Presepsin, a subtype of soluble CD14, is an inflammatory marker, which largely reflects monocytic activation. Presepsin appears to be an accurate diagnostic marker of sepsis, but its clinical significance remains unclear in cardiovascular disease.
Purpose
This prospective study aimed to investigate the predictive value of plasma presepsin levels on admission to medical (non-surgical) cardiac intensive care units (MCICUs) for short-term mortality.
Methods
We examined 1560 patients hospitalized in MCICUs and measured the baseline plasma presepsin levels at admission.
Results
Acute coronary syndrome was present in 46% of the patients, and acute decompensated heart failure in 36%. Before MCICUs admission, emergent coronary angiography or percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in 36%, mechanical ventilation was required for respiratory insufficiency in 2.1%, and intraaortic balloon pumps were needed for hemodynamic instability in 8.9%. During 6 months after admission, there were 113 (7.2%) deaths. Patients who died were older (median: 77 vs. 71 years, P<0.0001); had higher levels of presepsin (263 vs. 119 pg/mL, P<0.0001), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP: 696 vs. 186 pg/mL, P<0.0001), high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT: 81 vs. 47 pg/mL, P=0.004), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (13.8 vs. 2.2 mg/L, P<0.0001); and had lower levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate (50 vs. 65 mL/min/1.73m2, P<0.0001) and left ventricular ejection fraction (43% vs. 51%, P<0.0001) than those of the survivors. In the multivariate Cox regression analysis, higher levels of presepsin (P=0.0002), BNP (P=0.04), and hsTnT (P=0.009) were all independent predictors of 6-month deaths. Quartiles of presepsin levels were associated with higher mortality rates within 6 months after admission (Table). Adding presepsin levels to a baseline model that included established risk factors, BNP, and hsTnT further enhanced reclassification (P=0.004) and discrimination (P=0.003) beyond that of the baseline model.
Mortality rates according to presepsin Presepsin quartile 1st 2nd 3rd 4th P value ≤80 pg/mL 81–124 pg/mL 125–232 pg/mL >232 pg/mL 1-month mortality 0.8% 2.0% 3.3% 8.0% <0.0001 6-month mortality 0.8% 3.8% 8.2% 16.3% <0.0001
Conclusions
Presepsin levels at admission could improve the prediction of short-term mortality in patients hospitalized at MCICUs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Risk Score for Secondary Prevention and CREDO-Kyoto Thrombotic Risk Score are contemporary secondary prevention risk scoring systems. However, these scoring systems have not been validated in other populations.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to validate of the TIMI Risk Score for Secondary Prevention and CREDO-Kyoto Thrombotic Risk Score in patients in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods
The Japanese registry of acute Myocardial INfarction diagnosed by Universal dEfiniTion (J-MINUET) is a prospective multicenter registry conducted in 28 Japanese medical institutions. We enrolled 3,283 consecutive patients with AMI who were admitted to participating institutions within 48 hours of symptom onset between July 2012 and May 2014. Among them, 3,070 patients were included in this study after excluding 213 patients who died in the hospital. Clinical follow-up data were obtained up to 3 years. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death, non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke. The patients were stratified by the TIMI Risk Score for Secondary Prevention and CREDO-Kyoto Thrombotic Risk Score.
Results
At the 3-year follow-up, the primary endpoint had occurred in 337 patients (11.0%). All-cause death, non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke had occurred in 177 (5.8%), 80 (2.6%) and 80 (2.6%) patients, respectively. TIMI Risk Score for Secondary Prevention and CREDO-Kyoto Thrombotic Risk Score showed a graded association with the composite of all-cause death, non-fatal MI and non-fatal stroke at 3 years in the J-MINUET population (Figure).
Validation of atherothrombotic risk
Conclusions
TIMI Risk Score for Secondary Prevention and CREDO-Kyoto Thrombotic Risk Score were shown to be applicable to the patients in the early phase of AMI.

Abstract
Receptors for follicle-stimulating hormone (Fshr), luteinizing hormone (Lhcgr1 and Lhcgr2) and androgens (Ara and Arb) transduce the hormonal signals that coordinate spermatogenesis, but the factors that regulate the abundance of these transducers in fish testes remain little-understood. To mend this paucity of information, we first determined changes in transcript abundance for these receptors (fshr, lhcgr1, ara and arb) during spermatogenesis induced by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection in the eel, Anguilla australis. We related our findings to testicular production of the fish androgen, 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), and to the levels of the transcripts encoding steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (star) and 11β-hydroxylase (cyp11b), and subsequently evaluated the effects of hCG or 11-KT on mRNA levels of these target genes in vitro. Testicular 11-KT production was greatly increased by hCG treatment, both in vivo and in vitro, and associated with up-regulation of star and cyp11b transcripts. In situ hybridization indicated that testicular fshr mRNA levels were higher in the early stages of hCG-induced spermatogenesis, while lhcgr1 transcripts were most abundant later, once spermatids were observed. In vitro experiments further showed that hCG and its steroidal mediator 11-KT significantly increased fshr transcript abundance. These data provide new angles on the interactions between gonadotropin and androgen signaling during early spermatogenesis. Increases in levels of 11-KT following hCG injection elevated testicular fshr mRNA levels augmenting Fsh sensitivity in the testis. This evidence is suggestive of a positive feedback loop between gonadotropins and 11-KT that may be key to regulating early spermatogenesis in fish.

Abstract
Percentage diameter stenosis (%DS) by angiography is still commonly used to determine luminal obstruction of coronary artery disease (CAD) lesions. While visual estimation of %DS is widespread, because of high inter-operator variability, quantitative coronary arteriography (QCA) analysis is the gold standard. There are two %DS formulas: %DS1 averages the proximal and distal reference vessel diameter (RVD); %DS2 interpolates the RVD. This study aims to evaluate the difference between %DS assessed by QCA in two datasets, phantom lesion models and CAD patients. Ten phantom lesion models (PLMs) and 354 CAD lesions from the FIRST trial were assessed by QCA. In the latter, two scenarios were assessed: Scenario A (worst view), the most common approach in the clinical setting; and Scenario B (average of two complementary views), the standard core-laboratory analysis. In the PLMs, %DS1 and %DS2 mean ± standard deviation (median) was 58.5 ± 21.7 (61.6) and 58.7 ± 21.6 (61.8), respectively, with a signed difference of - 0.2% ± 0.3% (- 0.1%). In Scenario A, the mean %DS1 was 43.8 ± 9.1 (43.3) and 44.0 ± 9.1 (42 .9) in %DS2. In Scenario B, the mean %DS1 was 45.3 ± 8.8 (45.1) and 45.5 ± 9.0 (45.1) in %DS2. The signed difference was - 0.2% ± 2.4% (0.0%) and - 0.2% ± 2.1% (0.0%) in Scenario A and B, respectively. These differences between formulas ranged from - 1.2 to 0.5% for the phantom cases compared to - 17.7% to 7.7% in Scenario A and to - 15.5% to 7.1% in Scenario B. Although the overall means of the formulas provide similar results, significant lesion-level differences are observed. The use of the worst view versus the average of two views provided similar results.

Sensing self-nucleic acids through toll-like receptors in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), and the dysregulated type I IFN production, represent pathogenic events in the development of the autoimmune responses in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Production of high-mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) promotes type I IFN response in pDCs. To better understand the active pathogenic mechanism of SLE, we measured serum levels of HMGB1, thrombomodulin, and cytokines (IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17A, IL-17F, IFNα, IFNγ, TNFα) in 35 patients with SLE. Serum HMGB1 and IFNα were significantly higher in patients with active SLE (SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) score ≥ 6) compared with healthy donors or patients with inactive SLE. Furthermore, the HMGB1 levels were significantly correlated with IFNα levels. By qualitative analysis, the detection of serum IFNα or HMGB1 suggests active SLE and the presence of SLE-related arthritis, fever, and urinary abnormality out of SLEDAI manifestations. Collectively, HMGB1 and IFNα levels are biomarkers reflecting disease activity, and qualitative analysis of IFNα or HMGB1 is a useful screening test to estimate SLE severity and manifestations. Our results suggest the clinical significance of type I IFNs and HMGB1 as key molecules promoting the autoimmune process in SLE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Statin therapy has been shown to result in coronary plaque regression, but the relationship between statin use and stabilization of coronary plaque has not been elucidated. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of statin therapy on fibrous cap thickness (FCT) on optical coherence tomography (OCT).Methods and Results:Nine OCT studies (6 randomized controlled trials and 3 observational studies) were enrolled with a total of 341 patients (390 lesions). Arms of the studies were grouped according to statin type and/or dose. Random effects meta-analysis was used to estimate a pooled mean change in FCT from baseline to follow-up. The overall effect mean FCT change was 67.7 µm (95% CI: 51.4-84.1, I2=95.0%, P<0.001). All statin groups had an increase in FCT, but the magnitude of the increase differed according to the statin. Two homogeneous subgroups with I2=0 were identified: mean FCT change was 27.8 µm (for subgroup atorvastatin 5 mg and rosuvastatin), and 61.9 µm (for subgroup atorvastatin 20 mg, fluvastatin 30 mg, and pitavastatin 4 mg). On meta-regression modeling, statin therapy alone explained most of the change in FCT. CONCLUSIONS Statin therapy induced a significant increase in FCT as assessed on OCT, independent of coronary risk factors and other medications.

Abstract
An increased platelet count is often observed in lung cancer patients. Whether and how the platelets affect cancer progression have yet to be established. The aim of the study was to investigate the involvement of the platelet count and mean platelet volume (MPV) in the prognosis and progression of lung cancer patients. This retrospective study included 146 patients with newly diagnosed primary lung cancer. The platelet count and MPV were measured before invasive diagnostic procedures and treatment. These platelet indices, overall survival of the patients, and tumor metastases for each organ were analyzed. On Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, the overall survivals of patients with platelet counts ≤ 244.0 × 109/L or MPV > 9.7 fL were longer than those of patients with platelet counts > 244.0 × 109/L or MPV ≤ 9.7 fL. Cox regression analysis showed that poor performance status, increased platelet count, and increased C-reactive protein were independent prognostic factors. The platelet indices were associated with metastases to bone, soft tissue, and lymph node, in addition to malignant pleural effusion. Increased platelet count and decreased MPV were unfavorable prognostic factors for patients with lung cancer, and they were involved in bone, soft tissue, and lymph node metastases and malignant pleural effusion.

Abstract
Second-generation drug-eluting absorbable metal scaffold (DREAMS 2G) is used for treating coronary lesions. However, the natural history of the jailed side-branch (SB) after DREAMS 2G implantation remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of scaffold struts on jailed SBs as assessed by 3-dimensional (3D) optical coherence tomography (OCT) after implantation of DREAMS 2G. We enrolled the patients who received a DREAMS 2G implantation and where OCT was performed at postprocedure and 12-month follow-up in the BIOSOLVE-II trial. The area of the ostium of jailed SBs and number of compartments divided by scaffold struts were assessed by cut-plane analysis using 3D OCT. A total of 24 patients with 61 jailed SBs were analyzed in this study. The number of compartments was significantly decreased (postprocedure; 1.98 ± 0.84 vs 12 months; 1.10 ± 0.30, p <0.001) during the 12 months. Since most of the struts disappeared, the ostium area was increased in 62% of jailed SBs at 12 months, however, not significantly different from postprocedure (postprocedure; 0.74 [0.34 to 1.46] mm2 vs 12 months; 0.78 [0.41 to 1.68] mm2, p = 0.055). The number of compartments created by scaffold struts and branching angle at postprocedure had no effect on the changes of SB ostium area. DREAMS 2G has a favorable absorption process in the jailed SBs up to 12 months and may be considered as an optional therapy for treating lesions that involve SBs.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The edge vascular response (EVR) remains unknown in second generation drug-eluting Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold (RMS), such as Magmaris. The aim of the study was to evaluate tissue modifications in the RMS edges over time, assessed by different invasive imaging modalities. METHODS The patients treated with the device were assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT), grayscale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and virtual histology IVUS at baseline and 12 months. The EVR study performed a segment- and frame-level analysis of the 5 mm segments proximal and distal of the actual RMS. RESULTS The segment-level grayscale IVUS (n = 10), virtual histology IVUS (n = 10), and OCT (n = 18) analysis did not show any significant changes after 12 months, except for a fibrous plaque area (FPA) reduction of 0.5mm2 (p = 0.017) in the proximal segment compared to baseline. In the frame-level analysis, IVUS evaluation revealed a vessel area decreased 2.80 ± 1.43 mm2 (p = 0.012) and 2.49 ± 1.53 mm2 (p = 0.022) in 2 proximal frames. This was accompanied by plaque area reduction of 0.88 ± 0.70 mm2 (p = 0.048) and a FPA decreased by 0.63 ± 0.48 mm2 (p = 0.004) in one proximal frame. In 1 distal frame, there was a dense calcium area reduction of 0.10 ± 0.12 mm2 (p = 0.045), FPA and fibrous fatty plaque increased 0.54 ± 0.53 mm2 (p = 0.023) and 0.17 ± 0.16 mm2 (p = 0.016), respectively. By OCT, there was a lumen area decrease of 0.76 ± 1.51 mm2 (p = 0.045) in a distal frame. CONCLUSION At 12 months, Magmaris EVR assessment does not show overall significant changes, except for a fibrous plaque area reduction in the proximal segment. This could be translated as a benign healing process at the edges of the RMS. SUMMARY The edge vascular response (EVR) remains unknown in second generation drug-eluting absorbable metal scaffolds (RMS), such as Magmaris. Patients treated with the device were assessed by multi invasive imaging modalities [i.e. optical coherence tomography (OCT), grayscale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), and virtual histology IVUS] evaluating the tissue changes over time in the segment- and frame-level analysis of the 5 mm segments proximal and distal of the actual RMS. As a result, after 12 months, Magmaris EVR assessment does not show overall significant changes, except for a fibrous plaque area reduction in the proximal segment, translating a benign healing process at the edges of the RMS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: In recent years, anti-PD-1 antibody, an immune checkpoint inhibitor, has been developed for the treatment of various types of cancer, including breast cancer. Synergistic effects of nivolumab, paclitaxel and bevacizumab are expected, based on various preclinical data, when these drugs are administered in combination. A biomarker study is ongoing to evaluate the immune status of patients participating in the NEWBEAT trial, which is a phase II trial of nivolumab + paclitaxel + bevacizumab therapy as first-line treatment for patients with metastatic or recurrent HER2-negative breast cancer. Methods: HER2-negative breast cancer patients from the WJOG9917B (NEWBEAT) trial are enrolled in this biomarker study. To explore new biomarkers for combined treatment of breast cancer with immune-checkpoint inhibitors and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor antibodies, we propose to conduct multicolor immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays for immunomonitoring of the intra-tumor environment, such as the expressions of PD-L1, CD4 and CD8. Blood samples are collected before the start of treatment and at four time-points during the treatment, to determine, using a multicolor flow cytometry panel, the numbers of circulating immunosuppressive cells, such as regulatory T cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells and tumor-associated macrophages (M2). In the NEWBEAT trial, patients receive nivolumab 240 mg/body on days 1 and 15, paclitaxel 90 mg/m2 on days 1, 8 and 15, and bevacizumab 10 mg/kg on days 1 and 15 every 4 weeks until disease progression. The primary endpoint is the objective response rate, and the key secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, overall survival, and toxicity of the protocol treatment. A total of 51 patients will be enrolled and the enrollment period will be one year. This trial opened to accrual in February 2018. Clinical trial registry number: UMIN000029590

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
Second-generation drug-eluting absorbable metal scaffold (DREAMS 2G) is an alternative novel device for treating coronary lesions. However, the relationship between in-scaffold dimensions after implantation of DREAMS 2G and vessel healing and luminal results at follow-up is unknown. The aim of this study is, therefore, to investigate whether the expansion index after implantation of DREAMS 2G as assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) impacts late luminal status and healing of the vessel wall.
Methods and results
This study comprises of a total 65 out of 123 patients who were enrolled in the BIOSOLVE-II trial. We assessed both qualitative and quantitative OCT findings and the expansion index of DREAMS 2G after implantation frame by frame using OCT. Expansion index was defined as minimum scaffold area/mean reference lumen area. The over-expansion group was also defined with expansion index >1.0. The total number of analysed frames at post-procedure and 6-month follow-up was 8243 and 8263 frames, respectively. At 6-month follow-up, in-scaffold healing was documented by the reduction of 82% in dissections, 93% in attached intra-luminal mass (ILM), 65% in non-attached ILM, and 76% in jailed side branch. The over-expansion group had significantly greater in-scaffold luminal volume loss (LVL) compared with the non-over-expansion group [over-expansion: 35.0 (18.5–52.1) mm3 vs. non-over-expansion: 21.0 (11.6–37.9) mm3, P = 0.039].
Conclusion
Excellent in vivo healing process after implantation of DREAMS 2G was observed at 6 months. We found that higher expansion indices were associated with higher in-scaffold LVL at 6 months assessed by OCT.

Abstract
Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute cardiac condition independent of epicardial coronary obstruction that mimics acute coronary syndrome and is characterized by acute heart failure with reversible ventricular motion abnormalities. This consensus paper is the result of a multinational effort aiming to summarize the current state of the art on TTS. Experts in the field provide a thorough and detailed review of this syndrome. Several novel and unique sections are emphasized in this document, including the current state of the art on genetics of takotsubo syndrome, microRNAs (miRs), racial differences, role of cardiac spectroscopy and intracoronary imaging, as well as mechanical circulatory support. In part 1 of this two-part manuscript, we discuss how TTS came to be known, several patterns and forms it can take in patients, epidemiology and pathophysiology of the syndrome, and clinical presentation.
