Abstract
Abstract
Background
Calcified nodule (CN) in coronary artery is known to be a significant factor for stent underexpansion, however, its baseline characteristics and long-term prognosis is unclear.
Method
421 consecutive severe calcified lesions (Defined as maximum calcium arc >180 degrees) which underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were analyzed between January 2013 and December 2017. We investigated baseline characteristics and OCT parameter (maximum arc of calcium, maximum thickness of calcium, and length of calcium) and long-term clinical outcome (Major adverse cardiac event (MACE), any cause of death, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and target vessel failure (TVF)). Median follow up period was 33.7 months.
Result
CN was seen in 22.3% (94 lesions) of all severe calcified lesions. Baseline characteristics and OCT parameters were significantly different in CN and non-CN groups (Hemodialysis; 23.6% vs. 14.1%, p=0.03, Multivessel Disease; 57.4% vs. 44.6, p=0.03, maximum arc of calcium; 305.4 vs. 286.1, p=0.02, maximum thickness of calcium (μm); 1206.2 vs 1123.8, p=0.01, length of calcium (mm); 24.6 vs. 19.0, p=0.01). CN lesions was strongly associated poor long-term clinical outcome (MACE; 50.5% vs. 25.7%, p<0.01), any cause of death; 18.1% vs. 9.5%, p=0.02, AMI; 7.4% vs. 2.4%, p=0.02, TVF; 38.3% vs. 19.2%, p<0.01).
Conclusion
Hemodialysis, multivessel disease and abundant calcium component may have accompanied with CN which may result in poor long-term prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent reports show that stenting for coronary calcified nodule (CN) resulted in frequent in-stent restenosis, however, its predictors are unclear.
Method
117 consecutive calcified nodule lesions which underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT)-guided PCI were analyzed between January 2013 and March 2018. We investigated baseline characteristics and OCT parameter in CN site (Arc of CN, Lumen area and Symmetry index before and after PCI).
Result
CN site in-stent restenosis was seen 35 lesions (29.9%). Baseline characteristics was significantly different between restenosis group and non-restenosis group (Age; 68.9y.o vs. 73.3y.o, p=0.01, diabetes mellitus; 80.0% vs. 57.3%, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD); 74.3% vs. 36.6%, Hemodialysis; 54.3% vs. 12.2%). Arc of CN before PCI in restenosis group was larger than that in non-restenosis group (122.7 vs. 110.0 degrees, p=0.01). Post stent symmetry index in restenosis group was smaller than that in non-restenosis group (0.64 vs. 0.75, p<0.01).
Conclusion
Younger patients, diabetes mellitus, CKD, hemodialysis, arc of CN before PCI, post stent symmetry index may be predictors of CN site restenosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG) and gastric hemodynamics. METHODS A total of 16 patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertensive gastropathy were prospectively studied. Of these, 12 patients underwent TIPS for esophageal varices and four for refractory ascites. Gastric mucosal blood flow (GMBF) was assessed by laser Doppler flowmeter, and total blood flow (TBF) in submucosa and mucosa by near-infrared endoscopy. Portal venous pressure was obtained by a transducer during the TIPS procedure. The severity of portal hypertensive gastropathy was classified as none, mild, or severe. The examinations were performed before and 2 wk after the procedure. RESULTS TIPS significantly reduced portal venous pressure. PHG improved in all four patients with severe PHG and in five of 12 patients with mild PHG after treatment. Gastric mucosal blood flow increased from 49.0 to 55.6 ml/min/100 g after TIPS. In contrast, TBF decreased from 0.35/s to 0.27/s after treatment. Liver function tests showed no significant changes before and after the procedure. CONCLUSIONS It is considered that TIPS may have a beneficial effect on PHG at least for a short time. The mechanism by which PHG improves may be closely related to the improvement of the injured gastric perfusion in cirrhotic patients with PHG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Portal hypertensive gastropathy causes some gastric mucosal microcirculatory disorders in cirrhotic patients, but the nature of the rheologic dysfunction in the gastric microcirculation remains to be clarified. METHODS To examine the rheologic properties of the gastric microcirculation, we subjected 112 cirrhotic patients and 51 control subjects to endoscopic laser Doppler flowmetry and measured multiple variables of flow, red blood cell volume, and velocity. Furthermore, based on these results, we analyzed the shear rate which reflects the status of the microcirculatory system. To validate the laser Doppler flowmetry, we derived the relationship between red blood cell volume and cross-sectional areas of submucosal collecting venules; near-infrared endoscopy was used to evaluate this relationship. RESULTS Analysis of shear rate according to the severity of portal hypertensive gastropathy showed that the mucosa was exposed to strong hemokinetic stress in severe cases, characterized by a higher shear rate than in control subjects or in mild cases. Nitroglycerin, administered by intravenous infusion (1.0 microg/kg/min), reduced blood flow and restored shear rate to control levels in patients with severe portal hypertensive gastropathy. CONCLUSION This rheologic study of the gastric mucosa suggests that a disorder of the shear rate control mechanism in the microcirculation is associated with severe portal hypertensive gastropathy.

Abstract
To study the inhibitory effects on bacterial adhesion of a newly devised, hydrophilic heparinized catheter to be used in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice, a randomized controlled study of indwelling endoprostheses was performed, using implantable port-connected heparinized catheters (n = 25) and silicone catheters (n = 21). Catheters withdrawn from patients were cultured for bacteria and examined by electron microscopy for the presence of adherent organisms. In vitro examination of the two type of catheters exposed to suspensions of Eschericia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was performed using electron microscopy and a luminometer. The formation of a biofilm coated with glycocalyces was found in silicone catheters, but not in the heparinized catheters. In vitro experiments demonstrated little bacterial adhesion to the heparinized surface, but significant formation of biofilm on the silicone surface. Anionically charged heparinized catheters have inhibitory effects on bacterial adhesion, and the surface charge of the catheter may be a factor in inhibiting this adhesion.

Abstract
To examine the usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the preoperative determination of cancerous invasion, we examined 39 patients with advanced colorectal cancer with 0.5T MRI. We employed short inversion time inversion recovery (STIR) sequences, in addition to ordinary spin echo sequences for T1- and T2-weighted images. Preoperatively, the estimated depth of tumor invasion was classified into three grades according to MRI findings, and confirmed on the basis of surgical and histopathologic results. The depth of tumor invasion estimated preoperatively using STIR sequences corresponded well with the surgical and histopathologic results in 85% of the cases. In contrast, assessments based on T1-weighted images corresponded well in only 62% of the cases and T2-weighted images corresponded well in only 64%.

Abstract
During the past decade, burnout syndrome has been widely discussed not only in the USA but also in Japan. To evaluate the state of "burnout," two major scales are available: the first is the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) developed by C. Maslach and the other is the burnout scale by A. Pines. MBI is suggested to be independent of and incompatible with Pines' burnout scale, but, Pines' burnout scale is predominantly used in Japan, while both are used in the USA. Since hardly any studies of burnout using MBI have been made in Japan, we measured and analyzed MBI to evaluate the burnout state of doctors, nurses, caregivers, teachers and clerks who are engaged in "human services professions." The available data were subjected to factor analysis, reliability analysis and multiple regression analysis using Zung's Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). The following results were obtained. 1) The factor analysis showed that the factor loading pattern was similar to that of Maslach's, but two different factors were emerged in addition to the standard factors in the intensity subscale. 2) In the relationship with the state of depression, burnout is closely related to depression but simultaneously has its own factors. This suggest that burnout is not a subtype of the depressive state.
