Abstract
The gut microbiome is implicated in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and prenatal androgen exposure is involved in the development of PCOS in later life. Our previous study of a mouse model of PCOS induced by prenatal dihydrotestosterone (DHT) exposure showed that the reproductive phenotype of PCOS appears from puberty, followed by the appearance of the metabolic phenotype after young adulthood, while changes in the gut microbiota was already apparent before puberty. To determine whether the prenatal or postnatal nurturing environment primarily contributes to these changes that characterize prenatally androgenized (PNA) offspring, we used a cross-fostering model to evaluate the effects of changes in the postnatal early-life environment of PNA offspring on the development of PCOS-like phenotypes and alterations in the gut microbiota in later life. Female PNA offspring fostered by normal dams (exposed to an abnormal prenatal environment only, fostered PNA) exhibited less marked PCOS-like phenotypes than PNA offspring, especially with respect to the metabolic phenotype. The gut microbiota of the fostered PNA offspring was similar to that of controls before adolescence, but differences between the fostered PNA and control groups became apparent after young adulthood. In conclusion, both prenatal androgen exposure and the postnatal early-life environment created by the DHT injection of mothers contribute to the development of PCOS-like phenotypes and the alterations in the gut microbiota that characterize PNA offspring. Thus, both the pre- and postnatal environments represent targets for the prevention of PCOS and the associated alteration in the gut microbiota in later life.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION An increased incidence of metabolic syndrome has been observed in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals. In contrast, gut dysbiosis is involved in various pathogeneses, including vascular endothelial disorders. Organic acids, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), are essential for maintaining gut homeostasis. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the gut microbiome profile and organic acids in a Japanese population infected with HIV. METHODS Forty-nine patients with HIV infection on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) were enrolled and divided into the high and low CD4 groups based on a CD4 cutoff of 350 cells/μL. Stool samples were analyzed by 16S ribosomal RNA next-generation sequencing and high-performance liquid chromatography. The association between the gut microbiome, including bacterial taxa and organic acids, was statistically analyzed. RESULTS The fecal microbial community composition was significantly different between HIV patients with CD4 counts above and below 350 cells/μL. The relative abundance of Roseburia, Prevotella, Prevotella_9, and [Clostridium]_methylpentosum_group were significantly enriched in the high CD4 group. Fecal succinic acid tended to be more abundant in the low CD4 group, and acetic, propionic, and butyric acids tended to be more abundant in the high CD4 group. Roseburia was positively correlated with butyric acid levels. Prevotella_9 and Prevotella were negatively correlated with succinic acid levels and positively correlated with acetic and propionic acid levels. CONCLUSIONS This study showed intestinal dysbiosis bordering on a CD4 count of 350 in patients with HIV infection undergoing cART. These findings might help in understanding intestinal damage and systemic inflammation in HIV infection.

Abstract
Introduction Antifungal agents are not always efficient in resolving vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), a common genital infection caused by the overgrowth of Candida spp., including Candida albicans, or in preventing recurrent infections. Although lactobacilli (which are dominant microorganisms constituting healthy human vaginal microbiota) are important barriers against VVC, the Lactobacillus metabolite concentration needed to suppress VVC is unknown. Methods We quantitatively evaluated Lactobacillus metabolite concentrations to determine their effect on Candida spp., including 27 vaginal strains of Lactobacillus crispatus, L. jensenii, L. gasseri, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, and Limosilactobacillus vaginalis, with inhibitory abilities against biofilms of C. albicans clinical isolates. Results Lactobacillus culture supernatants suppressed viable fungi by approximately 24%-92% relative to preformed C. albicans biofilms; however, their suppression differed among strains and not species. A moderate negative correlation was found between Lactobacillus lactate production and biofilm formation, but no correlation was observed between hydrogen peroxide production and biofilm formation. Both lactate and hydrogen peroxide were required to suppress C. albicans planktonic cell growth. Lactobacillus strains that significantly inhibited biofilm formation in culture supernatant also inhibited C. albicans adhesion to epithelial cells in an actual live bacterial adhesion competition test. Discussion Healthy human microflora and their metabolites may play important roles in the development of new antifungal agent against C. albicans-induced VVC.

Abstract
The emerging Clostridioides difficile strain BI/NAP1/027 has been reported to be associated with more severe clinical symptoms and higher mortality rates, thought in part due to production of a novel binary toxin alongside conventional A and B toxins. However, recent studies suggest that this may not always be the case. Therefore, the purpose of this report was to investigate the correlation between clinical severity and microbiological characteristics of CDT-producing C. difficile isolates in Japan. Eight Japanese isolates of CDT producing C. difficile were investigated using genotyping, cytotoxic activity assays and toxin gene expression. Correlation with clinical severity was performed retrospectively using the patient record. Three of eight patients were assessed as having severe C. difficile infection (CDI). PCR ribotyping resolved six ribotypes including ribotype 027. No specific genes were identified determining severe compared with non-severe cases. Positive correlation of expression levels of tcdA, tcdB and cdtB were observed although these expression levels were not correlated with cytotoxicity. CDI severity index neither correlated with toxin gene expression level nor cytotoxicity. These data indicate that the possession of the CDT gene and toxin gene expression levels may not relate to C. difficile cytotoxicity or clinical severity.

Abstract
Mycophenolic acid (MPA) undergoes enterohepatic circulation. A kidney transplant patient on mycophenolate mofetil was treated with tazobactam/piperacillin for pyelonephritis, and developed antimicrobial-associated diarrhea. Consequently, the MPA trough level decreased by approximately 90%. Furthermore, it took approximately a month for the MPA level to normalize even after diarrhea had resolved.

Abstract
BackgroundActivation of melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) is known to have broad anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects. The bleomycin (BLM)-induced skin fibrosis murine model is well-established for systemic sclerosis (SSc). α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone, an endogenous ligand of MC1R, inhibits skin fibrosis and MC1R knock-out enhances skin fibrosis in this model. These pieces of evidence suggest that MC1R agonism has potential in the treatment of SSc.ObjectivesDersimelagon phosphate (MT-7117) is an investigational small molecule that is an orally administered, selective agonist for MC1R. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential of MT-7117 as a therapeutic agent for SSc by evaluating its efficacy and mechanism of action in complementary preclinical models. The expression and distribution of MC1R in the skin of SSc patients was investigated.MethodsThe effects of MT-7117 on skin fibrosis and lung inflammation were evaluated in BLM-induced SSc murine models that were optimized for prophylactic and therapeutic evaluation. Microarray-based gene expression analysis and serum protein profiling were performed to investigate the mechanism of action of MT-7117 in the BLM-induced SSc models. The effect of MT-7117 on TGF-β-induced activation of human dermal fibroblasts was evaluated in vitro. Immunohistochemical analyses of MC1R expression in skin samples from SSc patients were performed.ResultsProphylactic treatment with MT-7117 (≥0.3 mg/kg/day p.o.) significantly inhibited the increase in collagen content of the skin, the serum level of surfactant protein D, and the weight of the lungs from BLM-induced skin fibrosis and lung inflammation model. Therapeutic treatment with MT-7117 (≥3 mg/kg/day p.o.) significantly suppressed skin thickening and the numbers of myofibroblasts in pre-established BLM-induced skin fibrosis model. Gene array analysis using the BLM-induced SSc model demonstrated changes in numerous categories related to macrophages, monocytes, and neutrophils, followed by endothelial cell-related categories after treatment with MT-7117. In the analysis that focused on biological functions, categories of inflammatory response, activation of antigen-presenting cells, angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, vasculogenesis, and vaso-occlusion were suppressed by MT-7117. In the analysis that focused on molecular signaling pathways, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1, IL-6, and oncostatin M involved in inflammation, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor that is related to fibrosis were all affected by MT-7117. Serum protein profiling using BLM-induced SSc model revealed that multiple SSc-related biomarkers including P-selectin, osteoprotegerin, cystatin C, growth and differentiation factor-15 and S100A9 were suppressed by MT-7117. MT-7117 inhibited the activation of human dermal fibroblasts by suppressing TGF-β-induced ACTA2 (encoding α-smooth muscle actin) mRNA elevation in vitro. Immunohistochemical analyses showed that MC1R positivity was observed in 40 of 50 diffuse cutaneous SSc patients. MC1R was expressed by monocytes/macrophages, neutrophils, blood vessels (endothelial cells), fibroblasts, and epidermis (keratinocytes) in the skin of SSc patients.ConclusionMT-7117 demonstrates disease-modifying effects in preclinical models of SSc. Investigations of its mechanism of action and target expression analyses indicate that MT-7117 exerts its positive effects by affecting the pathologies of inflammation, vascular dysfunction, and fibrosis through inflammatory cells, endothelial cells, and fibroblasts. In view of its potent beneficial impact on all these three main pathologies of SSc, MT-7117 is a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of clinically challenging SSc, which has diverse and difficult to treat symptoms. A phase 2 clinical trial investigating the efficacy and tolerability of MT-7117 in patients with early, progressive diffuse cutaneous SSc is currently in progress.Disclosure of InterestsMasahiro Kondo Employee of: Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, Tsuyoshi Suzuki Employee of: Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, Yuko Kawano Employee of: Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, Shinji Kojima Employee of: Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, Masahiko Miyashiro Employee of: Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, Atsuhiro Matsumoto Employee of: Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation, Gabriela Kania: None declared, Przemyslaw Blyszczuk: None declared, rebecca ross: None declared, Panji Mulipa: None declared, Francesco Del Galdo Grant/research support from: Prof. F.

Abstract
Objectives Diversion colitis (DC) is an inflammatory disorder caused by interruption of the fecal stream and subsequent nutrient deficiency from luminal bacteria. The utility of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for DC was recently investigated; however, the precise pathogenesis of this condition remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the utility of autologous FMT in DC and to determine the related changes in the intestinal microbiota. Methods Autologous FMT was performed to reestablish the intestinal microbiota in five patients (average age, 64.6 ± 8.3 years) with DC. They underwent double‐ended colostomy. We assessed the diverted colon by endoscopy and evaluated the microbiota before and after FMT using the 16S rRNA gene sequencing method. Results All five patients had mild inflammation (ulcerative colitis endoscopic index of severity [UCEIS] 2–3) in the diverted colon based on the colonoscopic findings. Three patients presented with symptoms, such as tenesmus, mucoid stool, and bloody stool. With FMT treatment, all patients achieved endoscopic remission (UCEIS score of 0 or 1) and symptomatic improvement. We observed a significantly decreased α‐diversity in DC patients compared to healthy controls. The frequency of aerobic bacteria, such as Enterobacteriaceae, in the diverted colon decreased after autologous FMT. Conclusions This study was the first to show that the microbiota in the diverted colon was significantly affected by autologous FMT. Since interruption of the fecal stream is central to the development of DC, FMT can be considered a promising treatment.

Abstract
Premature babies are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for several weeks and are generally placed under high medical supervision. The NICU environment is considered to have a bad influence on the formation of the sleep-wake cycle of the neonate, known as the circadian rhythm, because patient monitoring and treatment equipment emit light and noise throughout the day. In order to improve the neonatal environment, researchers have investigated the effect of light and noise on neonates. There are some methods and devices to measure neonatal alertness, but they place on additional burden on neonatal patients or nurses. Therefore, this study proposes an automatic non-contact neonatal alertness state classification method using video images. The proposed method consists of a face region of interest (ROI) location normalization method, histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) and gradient feature-based feature extraction methods, and a neonatal alertness state classification method using machine learning. Comparison experiments using 14 video images of 7 neonatal subjects showed that the weighted support vector machine (w-SVM) using the HOG feature and averaging merge achieved the highest classification performance (micro-F1 of 0.732). In clinical situations, body movement is evaluated primarily to classify waking states. The additional 4 class classification experiments are conducted by combining waking states into a single class, with results that suggest that the proposed facial expression based classification is suitable for the detailed classification of sleeping states.

Abstract
Background The activation of melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) on melanocytes stimulates the production of eumelanin. A tridecapeptide α melanocyte‐stimulating hormone (αMSH) is known to induce skin pigmentation. Objectives We characterised the properties of a novel oral MC1R agonist dersimelagon (MT‐7117) with respect to its specific binding to MC1R, downstream signalling and eumelanin production in experimental models. Methods The competitive binding and production of intracellular cyclic adenosine 3′, 5′‐monophosphate in cells expressing recombinant melanocortin receptors were examined. A mouse melanoma cell line B16F1 was used for the evaluation of in vitro melanin production. The in vitro activity of MT‐7117 was determined with αMSH and [Nle4, D‐Phe7]‐αMSH (NDP‐αMSH) as reference comparators. The change of coat colour and skin pigmentation were evaluated after repeat administration of MT‐7117 by oral gavage to C57BL/6J‐Ay/+ mice and cynomolgus monkeys, respectively. Results MT‐7117 showed the highest affinity for human MC1R compared to the other melanocortin receptors evaluated and agonistic activity for human, cynomolgus monkey and mouse MC1R, with EC50 values in the nanomolar range. In B16F1 cells, MT‐7117 increased melanin production in a concentration‐dependent manner. In vivo, MT‐7117 (≥0.3 mg/kg/day p.o.) significantly induced coat colour darkening in mice. MT‐7117 (≥1 mg/kg/day p.o.) induced significant skin pigmentation in monkeys and complete reversibility was observed after cessation of its administration. Conclusions MT‐7117 is a novel oral MC1R agonist that induces melanogenesis in vitro and in vivo, suggesting its potential application for the prevention of phototoxic reactions in patients with photodermatoses, such as erythropoietic protoporphyria and X‐linked protoporphyria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the predictive value of the BIA-derived phase angle with respect to the functional prognosis and baseline sarcopenia in patients undergoing post-stroke rehabilitation. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Overall, 577 Japanese patients admitted to a post-acute care hospital from 2016 to 2020 were recruited. MEASUREMENTS Body composition analysis, which included BIA-derived phase angle and skeletal muscle mass, was performed using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Study outcomes included physical function assessed using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM-motor) and the level of dysphagia assessed using the Food Intake LEVEL Scale (FILS). Sarcopenia was defined as the loss of skeletal muscle mass and decreased muscle strength. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to calculate the optimal cutoff value of BIA-derived phase angle to diagnose sarcopenia. Multivariate analyses were used to determine whether the BIA-derived phase angle at admission was associated with outcomes at discharge and baseline sarcopenia. RESULTS After enrollment, 499 patients (mean age: 74.0 ± 13.1 years; 52.0% men) were examined. The median FIM-motor and FILS scores at admission were 47 (20-69) and 8 (7-10), respectively. Sarcopenia was observed in 43.2% of patients. After adjusting for potential confounders, BIA-derived phase angle was positively associated with FIM-motor scores at discharge (β = 0.134, P < 0.001), FIM-motor score gain (β = 2.504, P < 0.001), and FILS scores at discharge (β = 0.120, P = 0.039). BIA-derived phase angle was negatively associated with the sarcopenia diagnosis at baseline (odds ratio = -0.409, P < 0.001); its cutoff value was 4.76° (sensitivity 0.800, specificity 0.790, P < 0.001) for sarcopenia diagnosis in men and 4.11° (sensitivity 0.735, specificity 0.829, P < 0.001) in women. CONCLUSION BIA-derived phase angle was positively associated with the recovery of physical function and dysphagia level and negatively associated with baseline sarcopenia in patients undergoing post-stroke rehabilitation. The BIA-derived phase angle cutoff for sarcopenia diagnosis was 4.76° for men and 4.11° for women.

Abstract
Pazopanib is widely used to treat renal cell carcinomas and soft tissue tumors in Japan. Although several reports demonstrated the usefulness of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of pazopanib, those studies measured only total pazopanib concentration. For drugs with high protein binding rates such as pazopanib, measuring free concentrations may be clinically more useful than measuring total concentrations. In this study, we aimed to develop a high-throughput method for quantification of free pazopanib in human plasma using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Free pazopanib was separated by ultrafiltration. After a simple solid-phase extraction step using a 96-well plate, pazopanib was analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS in positive electrospray ionization mode. The novel method fulfilled the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration guidelines for assay validation, and the lower limit of quantification was 0.05 ng/mL. The calibration curve was linear over the concentration range of 0.05-50 ng/mL. The average recovery rate was 66.9 ± 2.1% (mean ± SD). The precision was below 7.02%, and accuracy was within 10.60% across all quality control levels. Matrix effect varied between 44.4% and 60.4%. This assay was successfully applied to measure trough free pazopanib concentrations in three patients treated with pazopanib for soft tissue tumors. We succeeded to develop a novel high-throughput UHPLC-MS/MS method for quantification of free pazopanib in human plasma. This method can be applied to TDM for patients receiving pazopanib in the clinical setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the benefits of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) in cohorts of selected patients with cardiac arrest (CA), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) includes an artificial oxygenation membrane and circuits that contact the circulating blood and induce excessive oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, resulting in coagulopathy and endothelial cell damage. There is currently no pharmacological treatment that has been proven to improve outcomes after CA/ECPR. We aimed to test the hypothesis that administration of hydrogen gas (H2) combined with ECPR could improve outcomes after CA/ECPR in rats. METHODS Rats were subjected to 20 min of asphyxial CA and were resuscitated by ECPR. Mechanical ventilation (MV) was initiated at the beginning of ECPR. Animals were randomly assigned to the placebo or H2 gas treatment groups. The supplement gas was administered with O2 through the ECMO membrane and MV. Survival time, electroencephalography (EEG), brain functional status, and brain tissue oxygenation were measured. Changes in the plasma levels of syndecan-1 (a marker of endothelial damage), multiple cytokines, chemokines, and metabolites were also evaluated. RESULTS The survival rate at 4 h was 77.8% (7 out of 9) in the H2 group and 22.2% (2 out of 9) in the placebo group. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that H2 significantly improved the 4 h-survival endpoint (log-rank P = 0.025 vs. placebo). All animals treated with H2 regained EEG activity, whereas no recovery was observed in animals treated with placebo. H2 therapy markedly improved intra-resuscitation brain tissue oxygenation and prevented an increase in central venous pressure after ECPR. H2 attenuated an increase in syndecan-1 levels and enhanced an increase in interleukin-10, vascular endothelial growth factor, and leptin levels after ECPR. Metabolomics analysis identified significant changes at 2 h after CA/ECPR between the two groups, particularly in D-glutamine and D-glutamate metabolism. CONCLUSIONS H2 therapy improved mortality in highly lethal CA rats rescued by ECPR and helped recover brain electrical activity. The underlying mechanism might be linked to protective effects against endothelial damage. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the beneficial effects of H2 on ischemia-reperfusion injury in critically ill patients who require ECMO support.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies evaluating the outcomes after laparoscopic resections of transverse colon cancers are scant. This manuscript aimed to compare surgical and oncological outcomes after laparoscopic (Lap) and open procedures for transverse colon carcinomas. METHODS All consecutive patients who underwent resection for a cancer located in the transverse colon between 2003 and 2019 were reviewed. Patients were categorized according to the surgical approach (Lap versus open) and groups were compared. Outcome measures were the short-term results, complications and functional recovery; moreover, recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were compared overall and after propensity score matching (PSM) based on age, sex, ASA classification, BMI, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, use of postoperative chemotherapy, location of tumour, stage and grading, operation time, blood loss and complications. RESULTS Of 248 transverse resections reviewed, 146 (81 Lap and 65 open) were selected for data analysis. Blood loss, fluid intake and the incidence of wound infection were significantly lower and the hospital stay was significantly shorter in the Lap group (P < 0.001). The operation time and incidence of complications (Clavien-Dindo classification grade 3 or above) did not differ significantly between the two groups. Mean follow-up was of 75.4 months in the Lap group and 78.6 months in the open group. Regression analyses showed that OS was associated with the postoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level (hazard ratio 1.18 (95 per cent c.i. 1.10 to 1.27); P < 0.001), BMI (hazard ratio 0.81 (95 per cent c.i. 0.68 to 0.96); P = 0.017), operation time (hazard ratio 0.99 (95 per cent c.i. 0.97 to 1.00; P = 0.010), and postoperative chemotherapy (hazard ratio 0.27 (95 per cent c.i. 0.08 to 0.96); P = 0.042), while RFS was associated with the postoperative CEA level (hazard ratio 1.13 (95 per cent c.i. 1.07 to 1.20); P < 0.001). PSM selected 42 patients for data comparison of long-term results, and showed no significant differences between groups (RFS: P = 0.530; OS: P = 0.561). CONCLUSION Lap and open resections for transverse colon cancer provided similar outcomes in terms of severe post-operative complication and long-term results.

Abstract
Sepsis caused by Clostridium perfringens infection is rare but often fatal. The most serious complication leading to poor prognosis is massive intravascular hemolysis (MIH). However, the molecular mechanism underlying this fulminant form of hemolysis is unclear. In the present study, we employed 11 clinical strains isolated from patients with C. perfringens septicemia and subdivided these isolates into groups H and NH: septicemia with (n = 5) or without (n = 6) MIH, respectively. To elucidate the major pathogenic factors of MIH, biological features were compared between these groups. The isolates of two groups did not differ in growth rate, virulence-related gene expression, or phospholipase C (CPA) production. Erythrocyte hemolysis was predominantly observed in culture supernatants of the strains in group H, and the human erythrocyte hemolysis rate was significantly correlated with perfringolysin O (PFO) production. Correlations were also found among PFO production, human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) cytotoxicity, and production of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) by human PBMCs. Analysis of proinflammatory cytokines showed that PFO induced tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-5, IL-6, and IL-8 production more strongly than did CPA. PFO exerted potent cytotoxic and proinflammatory cytokine induction effects on human blood cells. PFO may be a major virulence factor of sepsis with MIH, and potent proinflammatory cytokine production induced by PFO may influence the rapid progression of this fatal disease caused by C. perfringens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pazopanib is widely used to treat renal cell carcinomas and soft tissue tumors in Japan. Pazopanib has significant therapeutic efficacy but it is associated with frequent severe adverse effects. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may help to prevent adverse effects. A more convenient and rapid pazopanib assay is desirable for the application of TDM in clinical settings. In this study, the authors developed a high-throughput method for quantifying pazopanib in human plasma using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). METHODS After a simple solid-phase extraction step using a 96-well plate, pazopanib was analyzed by UHPLC-MS/MS in the positive electrospray ionization mode. RESULTS The novel method fulfilled the requirements of the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency guidelines for assay validation, and the lower limit of quantification was 0.5 mcg/mL. The calibration curves were linear over the concentration range of 0.5-100 mcg/mL. The average recovery rate was 102.0% ± 3.9% (mean ± SD). The precision was below 5.0%, and the accuracy was within 12.0% for all quality control levels. Matrix effect varied between 90.9% and 97.1%. This assay was successfully applied to TDM of pazopanib trough concentrations in 3 patients treated with the drug for soft tissue tumors. CONCLUSIONS The authors succeeded in developing a novel high-throughput UHPLC-MS/MS method for quantifying pazopanib in human plasma. This method can be applied to TDM of patients receiving pazopanib in clinical settings.

Abstract
Sarcopenia causes functional disorders and decreases the quality of life. Thus, it has
attracted substantial attention in the aging modern world. Dysbiosis of the intestinal
microbiota is associated with sarcopenia; however, it remains unclear whether prebiotics
change the microbiota composition and result in the subsequent recovery of muscle atrophy
in elderly patients with sarcopenia. This study aimed to assess the effects of prebiotics
in super-elderly patients with sarcopenia. We analyzed the effects of 1-kestose on the
changes in the intestinal microbiota and body composition using a next-generation
sequencer and a multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis device. The Bifidobacterium
longum population was significantly increased in the intestine after 1-kestose
administration. In addition, in all six patients after 12 weeks of 1-kestose
administration, the skeletal muscle mass index was greater, and the body fat percentage
was lower. This is the first study to show that administration of a prebiotic increased
the population of B. longum in the intestinal microbiota and caused
recovery of muscle atrophy in super-elderly patients with sarcopenia.

Abstract
It is reported that an increase in aerobic bacteria, a lack of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and immune disorders in the diverted colon are major causes of diversion colitis. However, the precise pathogenesis of this condition remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to examine the microbiota, intestinal SCFAs, and immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the diverted colon. Eight patients underwent operative procedures for colostomies. We assessed the diverted colon using endoscopy and obtained intestinal samples from the diverted colon and oral colon in these patients. We analyzed the microbiota and SCFAs of the intestinal samples. The bacterial communities were investigated using a 16S rRNA gene sequencing method. The microbiota demonstrated a change in the proportion of some species, especially Lactobacillus, which significantly decreased in the diverted colon at the genus level. We also showed that intestinal SCFA values were significantly decreased in the diverted colon. Furthermore, intestinal IgA levels were significantly increased in the diverted colon. This study was the first to show that intestinal SCFAs were significantly decreased and intestinal IgA was significantly increased in the diverted colon. Our data suggest that SCFAs affect the microbiota and may play an immunological role in diversion colitis. Anaerobic bacteria like Lactobacillus significantly decreased in the diverted colon. Fecal short-chain fatty acids significantly decreased in the diverted colon. Acetic acid also decreased significantly in the diverted colon. Fecal immunoglobulin A levels were significantly increased in the diverted colon.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Right ventricular (RV) function is an important prognostic factor in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Recently, CMR has become an attractive modality for follow up and providing prognosis in the patients, and strain has been used as a newer parameter to assess contractile properties of ventricle. It has not yet been established, however, whether RV strain with CMR can estimate RV functional reserve in the patients with PAH.
Purpose
We focused on CMR imaging of RV, investigating whether RV longitudinal strain can estimate RV functional reserve using a rat model with PAH.
Method
Rats were given a subcutaneous injection of 60 mg/kg monocrotaline (MCT-rats) or solvent (Ctr-rats). Four weeks after the injection, 25% of MCT-rats died due to RV failure. In the survivors of MCT- (n=19) and Ctr-rats (n=5), retrospective ECG-gated cine MR (16 phases/beat) was imaged with a 7T scanner. Subsequently, we measured RV pressure (RVP) via right internal jugular vein and dissected trabeculae (length = 1.45±0.07 mm, width = 334±27 μm, thickness = 114±6 μm) from RVs. We calculated weight ratio of RV free wall to left ventricle (LV) by RV/(LV+septum). Trabeculae were electrically stimulated with 2-s stimulus intervals, and force was measured using a silicon strain gauge (0.7 mM extracellular Ca2+, 24°C). To determine contractile properties of RV muscle, dF/dt was calculated. Using CMR imaging, we measured RV ejection fraction (RVEF) and RV longitudinal strain (RVLS). To modulate RVP, we intravenously injected 5 nmol endothelin-1 (ET-1) and again measured RVEF and RVLS.
Results
MCT-rats showed higher systolic RVP (62.5±16.6 vs. 25.9±1.86 mmHg, p<0.01) and higher weight ratio of RV (0.60±0.03 vs. 0.28±0.02, p<0.05). In CMR imaging, MCT-rats showed lower RVEF (36.1±11.2 vs. 64.8±8.4%, p<0.001) and lower RVLS (−18±9 vs. −30±1%, p<0.05). In trabeculae from RVs, MCT-rats showed lower developed force and lower dF/dt (p<0.01). Correlation between RVLS and dF/dt was higher (n=20, r=0.53, p<0.05) than that between RVEF and dF/dt (r=0.24). In addition, RVLS and dF/dt had already been decreased in 5 MCT-rats with relatively preserved RVEF (>50%), suggesting that RVLS decreases earlier than RVEF in MCT-rats. Ten minutes after the injection of ET-1, RVP was increased from 49.4±7.9 to 57.9±6.4 mmHg in MCT-rats (n=6). In MCT-rats with preserved RVEF and decreased RVLS, the increase in RVP chiefly decreased RVEF while it did not change RVLS and RVEF in Ctr-rats, meaning that RV functional reserve had been decreased in MCT-rats. In trabeculae, developed force and dF/dt were increased after the addition of 0.1 μM ET-1 in MCT- (n=11, p<0.01) and Ctr-rats (n=4, p<0.01).
Conclusion
These results suggest that in rats with PAH, RVLS obtained from CMR can estimate RV functional reserve earlier and more accurately than RVEF. Therefore, RV strain with CMR may become an important parameter to assess RV functional reserve in patients with PAH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We previously reported the therapeutic potential of Bifidobacterium breve A1 (B. breve A1) for preventing cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease model mice, which suggested that supplementation of the probiotics could be an effective therapeutic strategy for managing cognitive function in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). DESIGN AND SETTINGS We conducted an open-label, single-arm study to examine the effects of 24-week supplementation of B. breve A1 on elderly with MCI in Aki Orthopedics Rehabilitation Clinic in Japan. PARTICIPANTS 27 participants were screened by their Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores. MEASUREMENTS Cognitive function was assessed using MMSE and Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) at baseline and every 8 weeks. Mental condition and quality of life for gastrointestinal symptoms were measured using the Profile of Mood States 2nd Edition (POMS2), and the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS). RESULTS Of the 27 participants enrolled, 19 completed the study. MMSE scores were significantly increased during the intervention by mixed model Dunnett's test and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests (+1.7, P < 0.01). POMS2 and GSRS scores were significantly improved during intervention when analyzed by Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. CONCLUSION The present study showed that oral supplementation of B. breve A1 in participants with MCI improved cognitive function, thus suggesting the potential of B. breve A1 for improving cognitive function and maintaining quality of life of the elderly. Further randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled studies are worth conducting to examine the beneficial effect of B. breve A1.

Abstract
Background:Patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with poor prognostic factors (PPF) are at risk for RA progression if disease activity is not rapidly controlled. In FINCH 3 (NCT02886728), filgotinib (FIL)—an oral, potent, selective JAK1 inhibitor—was effective relative to methotrexate monotherapy (MTX mono) in MTX-naïve patients with ≥1 PPF—erosions, seropositivity for rheumatoid factor (RF) or anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP), or hsCRP ≥4 mg/L.1Objectives:This post hoc analysis examined FIL efficacy in FINCH 3 pts with multiple PPF.Methods:The global, phase 3, double-blind, active-controlled FINCH 3 study randomised MTX-naïve pts with moderately to severely active RA 2:1:1:2 to oral FIL 200 mg once daily + MTX ≤20 mg weekly, FIL 100 mg + MTX, FIL 200 mg mono, or PBO + MTX up to week (W)52. This subgroup analysis included pts with all 4 of the following PPF at baseline (PPF pts): erosions, seropositivity for RF or anti-CCP, hsCRP ≥4 mg/L, and DAS(28)CRP >5.1. Comparisons were not adjusted for multiplicity.Results:Of 1249 pts randomised and treated in FINCH 3, 510 had all 4 PPF. At baseline, relative to the overall FINCH 3 population, PPF pts had longer mean disease duration (2.4 vs 2.2 years); higher mean hsCRP (27.9 vs 17.5 mg/L), mTSS (17.9 vs 13.3), DAS28(CRP) (6.3 vs 5.7), HAQ-DI (1.76 vs 1.56), CDAI (44.3 vs 39.8), and SDAI (47.1 vs 41.5); and greater frequency of seropositivity for RF (90.6% vs 67.9%), anti-CCP (92.4% vs 68.5%), or both (82.9% vs 59.6%). Efficacy in PPF pts was comparable to data from all FINCH 3 pts (Table, Figures 1–2). PPF pts receiving FIL 200 mg with or without MTX vs MTX mono had higher frequencies of ACR20/50/70 response and greater improvement in HAQ-DI at W24; responses were numerically greater for FIL 200 mg + MTX vs FIL 100 mg + MTX or FIL 200 mg mono (Table) and were evident by W12 (data not shown).

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There has been growing evidence that the glucose fluctuation is an important contributing factor to the development of coronary artery disease. However, whether large glucose fluctuation, especially hypoglycemia, may be associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains largely unknown.
Aim
As new continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has recently become available to evaluate glucose fluctuation from immediately after an emergency visit, this study sought to investigate glucose fluctuation and the occurrence of hypoglycemia in patients with AMI.
Methods
In this prospective study, 93 consecutive patients with AMI from April 2017 to November 2018 were enrolled. Subcutaneous interstitial glucose levels were monitored from emergency room to discharge using the CGM System. Based on the CGM data, 24-h mean glucose levels, the time in hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia and the occurrence of hypoglycemia, defined as less than 70 mg/dL, were measured, and the mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) were calculated.
Results
The majority of patients [n=57, 61% (non-DM)] did not have diabetes and 36 patients had diabetes (DM). The occurrence of hypoglycemia within 24 hours after admission was observed in 49 patients [DM: n=11 (30.6%), non-DM: n=38 (66.7%)]. MAGE within 24 hours after admission were 100±47 in DM patients and 67±20 in non-DM patients. The mean time in hypoglycemia within 24 hours after admission was 148 minutes [DM: 100±260 minutes, non-DM: 178±287 minutes]. The occurrence of hypoglycemia during a hospital stay (mean 11.5 days) was detected in 76 patients [DM: n=28 (77.8%), non-DM: n=48 (84.2%)].
Representative case of hypoglycemia
Conclusion
Not only in DM patients but also in non-DM patients with AMI, large glucose fluctuation and high incidence of hypoglycemia were observed using new CGM system. Further investigations should address the rationale for the early detection and control of glucose fluctuation for AMI patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 (CBM 588) is a probiotic bacterium used in antidiarrheal medicine in Japan. A few studies analyzed the changes in gut microbiome in patients treated with antimicrobials based on metagenomics sequencing. However, the impact of CBM 588 on gut metabolic alterations has not been fully elucidated. This study was to reveal the impact of CBM 588 on gut metabolic alterations. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this in vivo study, mice were divided into four groups and CBM 588, clindamycin (CLDM), and normal saline (control) was orally administered (1. CLDM, 2. CBM 588, 3. CBM 588 + CLDM, 4. water) for 4 days. Fecal samples were collected to extract DNA for metagenomics analysis. Phylogenetic Investigation of Communities by Reconstruction of Unobserved States (PICRUSt) was used to obtain relative Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway abundance information derived from metagenomics data. RESULTS CLDM treatment resulted in a dramatic increase in Firmicutes phylum compared to non-CLDM-treated groups (control and CBM 588-treated group). Then, the CBM 588 + CLDM-treated group showed a trend similar in many metabolic pathways to the CLDM-treated group. On the other hand, the CBM 588 + CLDM-treated group showed higher relative abundance compared to the CLDM-treated group especially in starch and sucrose metabolism. DISCUSSION We concluded that CBM 588 caused a gut microbiome functional shift toward increased carbohydrate metabolism. These results support the hypothesis that CBM 588 treatment modulates gut microbiome under dysbiosis conditions due to antimicrobials.

Abstract
The composition of vaginal microbiota changes throughout life in response to health status, sexual activity, and pregnancy. Here the constitution of the vaginal microbiota among non-pregnant women, pregnant woman, and commercial sex workers (CSWs) in Japan were compared. Vaginal samples were obtained from 54 women between January 2014 and February 2015 and the microbiota of each was analyzed by 16S metagenomics as well as cluster and diversity analyses to identify differences. In addition, vaginal Lactobacillus spp. were isolated for comparison. Furthermore, data regarding the use of ritodrine hydrochloride by pregnant women was collected from medical charts. The vaginal microbiota were clustered into three groups. Group 1 was most often dominated by Lactobacillus spp., whereas groups 2 and 3 included not only Lactobacillus spp. but also Bifidobacterium, Atopobium, Prevotella, and Gardnerella spp., in addition to a few other taxa. In non-pregnant women, the proportions of microbes in groups 1, 2, and 3 were 31.8%, 36.4%, and 31.8%, respectively. In pregnant women, the abundance of group 1 microbes was notably greater than that of groups 2 and 3 (66.7% vs. 12.5% and 20.8%, respectively). In CSWs, the prevalence of group 3 microbes was far greater than that of group 1 (87.5% vs. 12.5%, respectively). The alpha diversity of non-pregnant women was significantly greater than that of pregnant women. The detection rate of live Lactobacillus spp. in CSWs was lower than in pregnant and non-pregnant women (25% vs. 50% and 68.2%, respectively). The vaginal microbiota of most pregnant women (60%) who received ritodrine hydrochloride was not dominated by Lactobacillus spp. These results suggest that there were clear differences in the colonization rate of Lactobacillus spp. among non-pregnant, pregnant, and CSW women groups. In addition, the dominance of Lactobacillus may influence the risk of preterm birth among women who received ritodrine hydrochloride during pregnancy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clostridioides difficile strains cause severe infection. Previous studies suggested that the virulence of C. difficile is dependent on ribotype; however, this hypothesis is still controversial. We aim to investigate the relationship between ribotypes, restriction endonuclease analysis (REA) types, and toxin gene expression in C. difficile strains. METHODS We utilized 53 clinical C. difficile strains. All strains were assigned a molecular strain type using PCR ribotyping and REA typing and classified into 17 ribotypes and six REA types. The expression of toxin genes (tcdA, tcdB, and cdtB) in C. difficile strains were quantified by real-time PCR using each specific primer set, and expression was normalized to that of the housekeeping gene rpoA. RESULTS All 53 strains expressed tcdB and four strains expressed cdtB. Five strains did not express tcdA. Most ribotype and REA type strains expressed tcdA and tcdB similar to the BAA-1870 strain. In cdtB-positive strains, the cdtB expression levels were similar to those in the BAA-1870 strain. tcdA and tcdB expression levels were similar in the cdtB-positive and cdtB-negative strains. CONCLUSION Toxin gene expression was not associated with the ribotype. Production of binary toxin C. difficile transferase was not related to tcdA and tcdB expression levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 (CBM 588) is a probiotic bacterium that is used as an anti-diarrheal medicine in Japan. However, the impact of this probiotic on the gut microbiome has not been fully elucidated, especially, when used with antimicrobials. MATERIAL AND METHODS In an in vivo study, CBM 588 monotherapy, clindamycin monotherapy, CBM 588 and clindamycin (combination therapy), or normal saline (control) was orally administered to mice for 4 days, and fecal samples were collected for 18 days to enumerate C. butyricum. We also extracted DNA from these fecal samples for metagenomics analysis by amplification of the V3-V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene and MiSeq Illumina sequencing. In addition, the concentrations of some short chain fatty acids were assessed in the fecal samples. A histological analysis was also conducted. RESULTS On day 4 (the last treatment day), there was no difference in the total counts of C. butyricum between the CBM 588 monotherapy and combination therapy groups (5.21 ± 0.78 vs. 5.13 ± 0.45 log10 cfu/g, p = 0.86). Clindamycin treatment resulted in dramatic increases in the phylum Firmicutes, especially Enterobacteriaceae, Clostridiaceae, Lactobacillus, and Enterococcus, compared with the other groups during the treatment period. CBM 588 treatment modified the bacterial community composition at lower phylogenetic levels. Some bacterial taxa, such as Bifidobacterium, Coprococcus, and Bacteroides, were significantly increased in the combination therapy group when compared with the other groups. In the metabolic analysis, CBM 588 enhanced lactic acid production. It also enhanced the efficiency of lactic acid use for the production of butyric acid. Only the clindamycin monotherapy group showed abnormal colon tissue, with superficial epithelial necrosis and the presence of inflammatory cells. CONCLUSION CBM 588 treatment modulated the gut microbiota composition under dysbiosis due to the use of an antimicrobial with strong activity against anaerobes and significantly reduced epithelial damage.

Abstract
A group of heterocyclic boronic acids demonstrating unusually high affinity and selectivity for sialic acids are described, with strong interactions under the weakly acidic pH conditions associated with a hypoxic tumoral microenvironment.
Boronic acids are well known for their ability to reversibly interact with the diol groups found in sugars and glycoproteins. However, they are generally indiscriminate in their binding. Herein we describe the discovery of a group of heterocyclic boronic acids demonstrating unusually high affinity and selectivity for sialic acids (SAs or N-acetylneuraminic acid), which are sugar residues that are intimately linked with tumor growth and cancer progression. Remarkably, these interactions strengthen under the weakly acidic pH conditions associated with a hypoxic tumoral microenvironment. In vitro competitive binding assays uncovered a significantly higher ability of 5-boronopicolinic acid, one of the derivatives identified in this work as a strong SA-binder, to interact with cell surface SA in comparison to a gold-standard structure, 3-propionamidophenylboronic acid, which has proven to be an efficient SA-binder in numerous reports. This structure also proved to be suitable for further chemical conjugation with a well-preserved SA-binding capability. These findings suggest an attractive alternative to other ongoing boronic acid based chemistry techniques aiming to achieve tumor-specific chemotherapies and diagnoses.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The incidence of ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) was reported to be approximately 5-10% of breast cancer patients who had breast-conserving surgery. However, the role of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with IBTR still remains to be elucidated. The aim of this study wasto evaluate feasibility and validity of sentinel lymph node biopsy for ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (second SLNB).
Patients and methods: A prospective database of 1607 patients with clinically node-negative breast cancer who underwent SLNB from January 2005 to May 2015 was analyzed and 46 patients with IBTR underwent SLNB. Lymphatic mapping was performed using a combined method of blue dye and radioisotope. ICG fluorescence imaging was performed in cases with failure of identification by blue dye and radioisotope.
Results: The median age was 52 (range: 36-82) years at the time of second SLNB and the mean size of recurrent tumor was 1.39 ± 0.63 cm. Thirty-one (67.4%) and 10 (21.7%) patients had a history of previous SLNB and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND), respectively. Another five (10.9%) patients had no previous axillary surgery for primary tumors. Preoperative lymphatic mapping by lymphoscintigraphy was successfully performed in 24 of 36 patients (66.7%). The identification rate by lymphoscintigraphy among patients with previous SLNB, ALND, and no axillary surgery was 64.0% (16/25), 66.6% (6/9) and 100% (2/2), respectively (P= 0.583). Overall, sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) were successfully identified in 37 (80.4%) of 46 patients during surgery. The identification rate in patients with previous SLNB, ALND and no axillary surgery was 80.6% (25/31), 80.0% (8/10) and 80.0% (4/5), respectively (P=0.990). The aberrant lymphatic drainage to extra-ipsilateral axilla was found more frequently in patients with previous ALND compared with previous SLNB and no axillary surgery (40.0% vs. 6.5% vs. 0%, P=0.015).Among three (6.5%) patients with SLN metastases, one patient with previous SLNB had macrometastasis at the ipsilateral axilla and ALND found a positive non-SLN (1/21). The remaining two patients with previous SLNB and ALND had micrometastases at ipsilateral and contralateral axilla, respectively and both patients underwent no further axillary treatment. After second SLNB, systemic treatment including chemotherapy, endocrine therapy and trastuzumab was performed in 17 (37.0%), 36 (78.3%) and seven (15.2%) patients, respectively. No axillary recurrence was observed after a median follow-up time of 37.2 months from surgery for IBTR.
Conclusions: Second SLNB is technically feasible regardless of types of previous axillary surgery and may avoid complications from unnecessary ALND for IBTR. Furthermore, it could improve risk prediction for IBTR and provide valid information for deciding adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
Streptozotocin (STZ), a naturally occurring chemical, is toxic to the various kinds of cells such as insulin-producing beta cells. However, the beneficial effect of STZ on neuronal cells such as neurite outgrowth-inducing activity has been unknown. In this study, we examined the effect of STZ on neurite outgrowth in mouse neuronal Neuro2a cells. STZ (0.01 mM~5 mM) exerted remarkable neurite outgrowth-inducing activity in Neuro2a cells in a concentration dependent manner. STZ also had the same neurite outgrowth-inducing activity as that of retinoic acid (RA), which is well known neurite outgrowth inducer. As with the result of RA treatment, STZ administration increased MAP2-positive cells. The MAP2-positive cells reflect neurite outgrowth-induced cells. STZ (0.01 mM~5 mM) did not induce cell death, but significantly decreased cell proliferation. The serine/threonine kinase Akt, a downstream target of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K), was transiently phosphorylated at Ser473 and at Thr303 by STZ (5 mM) administration. Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), which has been reported to be inactivated by Akt, was also transiently phosphorylated at Ser9 by STZ (5 mM) administration. In addition, a blocker of PI3K, LY294002 (10 μM), significantly attenuated STZ-induced neurite outgrowth. These results suggest that STZ induces neurite outgrowth via activation of PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and GSK3β inhibition.
