Abstract
PURPOSE To develop an imaging prediction model for patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), we investigated the association of topographic diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) patterns with potential embolic sources (PES) identified by transesophageal echocardiography. METHODS From a total of 992 consecutive patients with embolic stroke, 366 patients with the ESUS group were selected. ESUS was defined as no atrial fibrillation (Af) within 24h from admission and no PES after general examination. Clinical variables include age (> 80years, 70-80 years), sex, vascular risk factors and left atrial diameter > 4 cm. Age, sex and vascular risk factors adjusted odds ratio of each DWI for the different PESs were calculated. DWI was determined based on the arterial territories. Middle cerebral arteries were divided into 4 segments, i.e., M1-M4. Moreover, M2 segments were subdivided into superior and inferior branches. RESULTS The 366 patients consisted of 168 with paroxysmal Af (pAf), 77 with paradoxical embolism, 71 with aortic embolism and 50 with undetermined embolism after transesophageal echocardiography. The variables adjusted odds ratio (OR) of internal carotid artery (OR: 12.1, p = 0.037), M1 (4.2, p = 0.001), inferior M2 (7.5, p = 0.0041) and multiple cortical branches (12.6, p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in patients with pAf. Striatocapsular infarction (12.5, p < 0.0001) and posterior inferior cerebellar artery infarcts (3.6, p = 0.018) were significantly associated with paradoxical embolism. Clinical variables adjusted OR of multiple small scattered infarcts (8.3, p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in patients with aortic embolism. CONCLUSION The associations of DWI with different PES have their distinctive characteristics and DWI along with clinical variables may help predict PES in patients with ESUS.

Abstract
Claviceps (Clavicipitaceae, Hypocreales) was erected in 1853, although ergotism had been well-known for a much longer time. By 2000, about 70 taxa had been described in Claviceps, of which eight species and six varieties were based on Japanese type or authentic specimens. Most of these Japanese Claviceps taxa are based on lost specimens or have invalid names, which means many species practically exist only in the scientific literature. The ambiguous identities of these species have hindered taxonomic resolution of the genus Claviceps. Consequently, we sought and collected more than 300 fresh specimens in search of the lost Japanese ergots. Multilocus phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequences from LSU, TEF-1α, TUB2, Mcm7, and RPB2 revealed the phylogenetic relationships between the Japanese specimens and known Claviceps spp., as well as the presence of biogeographic patterns. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, host range and morphology, we re-evaluated Japanese Claviceps and recognised at least 21 species in Japan. Here we characterised 14 previously described taxa and designated neo-, lecto- and epi-types for C. bothriochloae, C. imperatae, C. litoralis, C. microspora, C. panicoidearum and C. yanagawaensis. Two varieties were elevated to species rank with designated neotypes, i.e. C. agropyri and C. kawatanii. Six new species, C. miscanthicola, C. oplismeni, C. palustris, C. phragmitis, C. sasae and C. tandae were proposed and described. Taxonomic novelties: New species: Claviceps miscanthicola E. Tanaka, Claviceps oplismeni E. Tanaka, Claviceps palustris E. Tanaka, Claviceps phragmitis E. Tanaka, Claviceps sasae E. Tanaka, Claviceps tandae E. Tanaka; New status and combination: Claviceps agropyri (Tanda) E. Tanaka, Claviceps kawatanii (Tanda) E. Tanaka; Typifications (basionyms): Lecto- and epitypification: Claviceps yanagawaensis Togashi; Neotypifications: Claviceps purpurea var. agropyri Tanda, Claviceps bothriochloae Tanda & Y.

Abstract
Direct composite restorations are accepted as a treatment option for microdontia, which is a relatively prevalent condition that poses esthetic concerns. While free-hand composite placement is technique-sensitive and time-consuming, the resin composite injection technique is more straightforward and predictable. A fully digital workflow has been recently introduced, but the 3D-printed resin index is rigid and challenged by undercuts, as opposed to the silicone index. This case report presents a flexible 3D-printed resin index, which can accurately transfer the digitally simulated functional and esthetic form to the final restoration. In addition, a rigid stabilization holder was designed to stabilize the flexible index.

Abstract
Cardiac rehabilitation in patients with diabetes mellitus and heart failure may be affected by anti-diabetic drugs. However, there are few reports on the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors on cardiac rehabilitation. Thus, we retrospectively investigated the patient backgrounds and effects of cardiac rehabilitation in 44 patients admitted to our hospital with heart failure and pre-existing diabetes mellitus. Our results showed that the patients tended to be older, and those who received SGLT2 inhibitors had lower systolic blood pressure and left ventricular ejection fraction on admission than those who did not. Cardiac rehabilitation significantly improved the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score in all patients, and there was no significant difference in body mass index or in body weight. There were no significant differences in SPPB score at admission, discharge, or change from admission to discharge with or without SGLT2 inhibitors. These results suggest that SGLT2 inhibitors do not affect the change in SPPB scores. SGLT2 inhibitors may thus be used safely without affecting cardiac rehabilitation while adhering to the necessary safety precautions.

Abstract
BackgroundJuvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS) has been developed as a composite disease activity score specific to Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Evaluation of disease activity with a composite measure associated with subsequent changes in structural damage of joints and physical function is necessary for the proper management of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) with treat-to-target strategy, and this concept should be considered for patients with JIA in transition and adulthood as well. However, the usefulness of JADAS-27 and other composite measures for RA in these patients has been scarecely investigated. Additionally, JADAS-27 is unfamiliar to non-pediatric rheumatologists.ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate an optimal composite score for disease activity in adult JIA from the viewpoint of the subsequent changes in physical function.MethodsPatients diagnosed with JIA with the following conditions were enrolled: 1) disease onset at age < 18 years; 2) registered in the IORRA database for the first time between 2000 and 2020; and 3) ≥18 years old at the time of IORRA registration. The baseline of each patient was their initial entry into the IORRA database. The Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI), Disease Activity Score using 28 joints (DAS28), and JADAS-27 were compared. The patients were stratified into four disease activity categories: remission/inactive disease, low disease activity, moderate disease activity, and high disease activity according to mean disease activity scores in each index during the first year from baseline, and mean changes in J-HAQ (mean ΔJ-HAQ) during 2 years from baseline in each disease activity group were estimated using the linear mixed effect model to account for correlations of repeated measures without filling in the missing data after adjusting for sex, age, and disease duration.ResultsWe included 294 eligible individuals (median age at onset, 14.0 years; rheumatoid factor positive in 64.7%). The median age at baseline and disease duration was 33.8 (24.1–47.7) years and 21.0 (11.0–34.0) years, respectively. The J-HAQ was completed in all 294 patients, and 171 (58.1%) had a score of less than 0.5 at baseline, which is defined as functional remission. During the 2-year observation period, the median J-HAQ of all patients remained unchanged. There was a trend toward improvement in disease activity over time in all three composite scores. Some differeces were obsered across the three indeces: a higher proportion of patients with high disease activity and a lower proportion of patients in remission/inactive disease were observed with JADAS-27 versus SDAI and DAS28. A significant increasing trend of the estimated mean ΔJ-HAQ at 2 years after baseline was observed along with an increase in the mean disease activity during the first year measured using DAS28 (p = 0.01) and SDAI (p = 0.018), but not using JADAS-27 as shown in Table 1.Table 1.Association of the mean disease activity categories during the first year after baseline and mean changes in J-HAQ during the two years after baseline(n = 294)SDAIDAS28JADAS-27Remission/inactive disease0.019 [−0.190, 0.228]0.053 [0.024, 0.130]0.081 [−0.072, 0.234]LDA0.091 [−0.150, 0.332]0.102 [−0.013, 0.217]0.054 [−0.102, 0.210]MDA or HDA0.155 [−0.286, 0.596]0.136 [0.030, 0.242]0.087 [0.022, 0.152]p-value for trend0.0190.0100.115(Data are expressed as J-HAQ [95% confidence interval].

Abstract
BackgroundSerious infection is one of the most critical adverse events in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). During the first year, infections occur more frequently. Therefore, estimating the risk of developing a serious infection is important for the safe use of bDMARDs. The Rheumatoid Arthritis Observation of Biologic Therapy (RABBIT) risk score predicted the incidence rate of serious infection during 1 year in patients with RA taking DMARDs. Moreover, it has been validated using data from various observational cohort studies and nationwide registries with favorable results, with a reported area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.68–0.871–5. However, the RABBIT risk score has not been validated in RA patients starting a first bDMARD.ObjectivesTo investigate the discriminatory ability of the RABBIT risk score for predicting the development of serious infection during 1 year after starting first bDMARDs in Japanese patients with RA using data from the Institute of Rheumatology, Rheumatoid Arthritis (IORRA) cohort.MethodsThe IORRA cohort is a large observational cohort at the Institute of Rheumatology, Tokyo Women’s Medical University. Japanese patients with RA visiting our institute were registered and clinical parameters were assessed biannually. This study enrolled patients with RA who were registered in the IORRA cohort and treated with a first bDMARD. Patients who were missing data needed to calculate the RABBIT risk score were excluded. The RABBIT risk score was calculated using the patient’s age, comorbidities, Japanese-Health Assessment Questionnaire score, history of previous infections, and types of DMARDs used. Serious infections were defined as those requiring hospitalization or treatment with intravenous antibiotics. The occurrence of serious infection during 1 year after starting the first bDMARDs was identified using data from the biannual IORRA cohort and confirmed using medical records. The discriminatory ability of the RABBIT risk score was analyzed by the AUROC.ResultsA total of 1,081 patients with RA and a median age of 55.3 years, in which females were the majority (88.2%), were included. Serious infection occurred in eight patients during 1 year before starting their first bDMARDs. The number of patients starting a TNF inhibitor, IL-6 inhibitor, and abatacept were 830 (76.8%), 170 (15.7%), and 81 (7.5%), respectively. A total of 23 patients (1.7%) had serious infections during 1 year after starting the first bDMARD; the most frequent infection was pneumonia (n=16, 69.6%). The median RABBIT score was 2.3 (IQR 1.6–5.4) in patients with serious infections during the follow-up period, and 1.6 (IQR 1.2–2.5) in patients without serious infections. The discriminatory ability of the RABBIT risk score was slightly poor, with an AUROC of 0.67 (95% CI, 0.52– 0.79).ConclusionThe RABBIT risk score is highly practical; however, our present study suggested that some adjustments may be required to predict the risk of serious infection in Japanese patients with RA starting a first bDMARD.Figure 1.ROC curve of serious infection and RABBIT score with an AUROC of 0.67 (95% CI, 0.52– 0.79).Disclosure of InterestsTomoaki Higuchi: None declared, Eiichi Tanaka Speakers bureau: Abbvie, Asahi Kasei pharma co., Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Eisai Pharmaceutical, Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Nippon Kayaku, Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., and UCB Pharma., Paid instructor for: Abbvie, Asahi Kasei pharma co., Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Eisai Pharmaceutical, Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Nippon Kayaku, Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., and UCB Pharma., Eisuke Inoue Speakers bureau: Bristol-Meyers and Pfizer, Consultant of: Nippontect systems, Mai Abe: None declared, Kumiko Saka: None declared, Eri Sugano: None declared, Naohiro Sugitani: None declared, Yoko Shimizu: None declared, Moeko Ochiai: None declared, Rei Yamaguchi: None declared, Katsunori Ikari Speakers bureau: Asahi Kasei Pharma Corp., Astellas Pharma Inc., AbbVie Japan GK, Ayumi Pharmaceutical Co., Bristol Myers Squibb Co., Ltd., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Eisai Co., Ltd., Eli Lilly Japan K.K., Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Kaken Pharmaceutical Co.

Abstract
Background:In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), prevalence of osteonecrosis (ON) was 20–40% 1, and 4–10 times higher risk of ON than the general population was observed 2,3. Because ON can influence patients’ physical activity and quality of life, it is essential for rheumatologists to manage ON appropriately. Recently, medications such as mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) were approved for SLE in Japan. Considering the changes in treatments for SLE over time, it is clinically important to investigate the risk and risk factors of ON in patients with the disease. However, to date, only evidence is found in the literature.Objectives:To estimate incidence rate (IR) and identify risk factors of ON in patients with SLE using a Japanese health insurance database.Methods:This retrospective longitudinal population-based study was conducted using claims data provided by Medical Data Vision Co., Ltd (Tokyo, Japan). We defined individuals as SLE cases if they met all of the following: 1) having at least one ICD10 code (M321 or M329); 2) having at least one prescription of oral corticosteroids (CS), methylprednisolone (mPSL) pulse therapy, immunosuppressive drugs (IS) (azathioprine, mizoribine, tacrolimus, MMF, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate), biologics (belimumab, rituximab) or HCQ between January 2010 and January 2017; 3) being 16 years old or over. The start of observation was defined by the first month in which cases met all of the above criteria. Patients were followed until the earliest of date of first ON, date of loss of follow-up, or the end of follow-up (December 2017). ON was defined when patients had at least one ICD code (M87.0, M87.1, M87.2, M87.3, M87.8, M87.9, M90.5) during the observation period. Patients were excluded if they had a previous diagnosis of ON during the first 3 months of the observation period. We defined baseline characteristics using the data in the month of starting observation, and calculated incidence rate (IR) in each year, adjusted relative risk (RR [95% CI]) of ON using a Poisson regression model, and adjusted odds ratio (OR [95% CI]) of risk factors of ON after adjusting for age and sex at baseline, and medications and comorbidities during the observation period using a logistic regression model.Results:In this study, 16,386 cases were included. The median age was 55 years and 81.3% were female. Median observation period was 33 months, and total observation period was 47,138 patient-years (PY). IR/1,000 PY of ON in each year from 2010 to 2017 was 13.2, 10.6, 11.0, 13.3, 13.1, 9.8, 8.5, and 7.3, respectively. Adjusted RR in each year from 2011 to 2017 compared to 2010 was 0.5 [0.2–1.4], 0.3 [0.1–0.9], 0.6 [0.3–1.4], 0.7 [0.3–1.6], 0.4 [0.2–0.8], 0.4 [0.2–0.8], and 0.3 [0.1–0.7], respectively. Adjusted OR was 1.22 [1.10–1.34] for younger age by decade, 1.41 [1.11–1.79] for male, 2.69 [1.52–4.76] for use of oral CS (> 0 and < 5 mg/day of prednisolone [PSL] equivalent dose versus no use), 2.21 [1.26–3.86] for oral CS (≥ 5 and < 10mg/day versus no use), and 1.25 [1.02–1.54] for dyslipidemia.Conclusion:Significant decrease in IR of ON after 2015 was observed in Japanese patients with SLE for the first time.

Abstract
Background:The risk of some types of malignancy is increased in patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), compared with the general population. We have previously reported the incidence of malignancy in Japanese pts with RA.1-4Objectives:This analysis further evaluated the incidence of malignancy in Japanese pts with RA using recent data from the large prospective observational study, IORRA.Methods:This analysis included all pts with RA aged ≥18 years who were enrolled in IORRA from April 2013 to October 2018, with follow-up through October 2019, and participated in ≥2 surveys. Index was defined as the date of the first entry in the IORRA database, with baseline defined as the 6-month period prior to the index date. Malignancies were identified in pt reports of biannual IORRA surveys and confirmed using medical records. Age- and sex-standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated.Results:In total, 8020 pts were included. At baseline, the majority (85.0%) of pts were female; mean disease duration was 12.8 years, 5.8% and 4.8% of pts had a past history of malignancy or comorbid malignancy at baseline, respectively, and the majority (75.9%) of pts were receiving methotrexate (Table). The SIR (95% CI) was 0.90 (0.80, 1.01). SIRs (95% CI) of site-specific malignancies were: breast cancer, 0.91 (0.69, 1.18); lung cancer, 0.67 (0.44, 0.97); colon cancer, 0.93 (0.62, 1.32); stomach cancer, 0.82 (0.56, 1.14); and lymphoma, 3.74 (2.73, 4.96).Table 1.Patient demographics and baseline disease characteristicsPatients with RA (N=8020)Age (years), mean (SD)59.3 (13.8)Female, n (%)6816 (85.0)Duration of RA (years), mean (SD)12.8 (10.3)Never smoked, n (%)5086 (66.2)DAS28, mean (SD)2.8 (1.1)J-HAQ, mean (SD)0.60 (0.72)Malignancy status, n (%)Past history of malignancy467 (5.8)Comorbid malignancy at baseline386 (4.8)Medication use, n (%)MTX6088 (75.9)Tacrolimus787 (9.8)Corticosteroids2641 (32.9)bDMARD use1508 (18.8)TNFi1163 (14.5)Tocilizumab311 (3.9)Abatacept106 (1.3)JAK inhibitors4 (0.05)bDMARD, biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drug; DAS28, Disease Activity Score in 28 joints; JAK, Janus kinase; J-HAQ, Japanese Health Assessment Questionnaire; MTX, methotrexate; N, the number of patients included in the analysis, the number of patients assessed for each characteristic may be fewer than N; n, the number of patients with each characteristic; SD, standard deviation; TNFi, tumour necrosis factor inhibitorConclusion:Overall risk of malignancy was similar to that in the general Japanese population, although a significantly higher risk of lymphoma was identified.References:[1]Sugimoto et al.

Abstract
Background:The ORIGAMI study is a multicenter, observational study to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and patient-reported outcomes of abatacept (ABA) in Japanese patients with csDMARD-resistant, Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI)-moderate, biologic-naïve rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ABA has shown better effectiveness/efficacy in RA patients with anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) positive (1) and high ACPA titer (2) compared to ACPA negative and low ACPA titer, respectively. However, more accurate predictors of effectiveness in clinical practice are needed than ACPA status.Objectives:This post-hoc analysis is aimed to determine the association between ACPA and ABA effectiveness (disease activity and physical function) or retention rate and to investigate other factors associated with the effectiveness of ABA in patients enrolled in the ORIGAMI study.Methods:Of the 279 patients in the effectiveness analysis set of the ORIGAMI study, 270 patients with baseline ACPA measurement were analyzed. The patients were divided into the ACPA-positive group (ACPA +ve, ≥4.5 U/mL at baseline) and the ACPA-negative group (ACPA –ve, <4.5 U/mL). Patients’ characteristics, changes in disease activity and physical function (Japanese Health Assessment Questionnaire; J-HAQ) through 52 weeks, and retention rates of ABA at week 52 were evaluated. Baseline characteristics and use of concomitant drugs were analyzed as independent variables by multiple regression analysis using a standard linear model adjusted by SDAI at week 0 to identify factors associated with SDAI change at week 52. In addition, the interaction effects among ACPA status, RF status, and the factor that was significantly associated with SDAI change in multiple regression analysis on changes in SDAI were explored.Results:The numbers of ACPA +ve and –ve patients were 226 and 44, respectively. ACPA values (mean ± SD, U/mL) were 280.3 ± 376.8 and 0.9 ± 0.7, and rheumatoid factor (RF) values were 174.8 ± 302.6 and 20.9 ± 61.7 in the ACPA +ve and –ve groups, respectively. Mean (95% confidence interval) changes in SDAI at week 52 were −11.3 (−12.4 to −10.3) and −8.0 (−10.5 to −5.5), and those in J-HAQ were −0.27 (−0.34 to −0.20) and −0.16 (−0.34 to 0.01) in the ACPA +ve and –ve groups, respectively. In the Kaplan–Meier analysis, the retention rates of ABA at week 52 in the ACPA +ve and –ve groups were 72.1% and 58.7%, (discontinuation for any reason), and 91.6% and 75.7% (discontinuation because of lack of effectiveness), respectively. In a multiple regression analysis, the duration of disease (< 1 year) was associated with the change in SDAI at week 52. With respect to SDAI changes, the estimated difference of ACPA +ve and disease duration (< 1 year), ACPA +ve and disease duration (≥1 year), and ACPA –ve and disease duration (< 1 year), versus ACPA −ve and disease duration (≥ 1 year), were −4.26 (p = 0.022), −0.82 (p = 0.618), and −0.93 (p = 0.716), respectively (Fig. 1). The estimated difference of ACPA +ve and RF +ve, ACPA +ve and RF –ve, and ACPA –ve and RF +ve, versus ACPA –ve and RF –ve, were −2.48 (p = 0.060), −2.77 (p = 0.107), and −5.48 (p = 0.087), respectively.Conclusion:A higher retention rate as well as better effectiveness of ABA on disease activity and physical function in ACPA +ve group versus ACPA –ve group were shown in the simple subgroup analysis. ABA effectiveness on the SDAI change was significantly better in patients with disease duration <1 year and ACPA +ve compared to those with ACPA −ve and disease duration ≥ 1 year.References:[1]Harrold LR et al.

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients can experience various comorbidities1. The incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is reported higher in patients with RA2 and comorbid DM is likely to affect treatment outcomes3 and then healthcare resource uses, however, no previous study has not focused on it.Objectives:To evaluate medical costs and resource use in patients starting treatment for RA with and without DM using a large claims database in Japan.Methods:We used a large Japanese administrative claims database constructed by the Japan Medical Data Center (JMDC)4. Patients with the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision (ICD-10) codes for RA who started medication with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) after 6 months without them in the period from 1/1/2012 to 12/31/2017 and who were observable for 12 months as a follow-up period were enrolled. These patients were categorized as DM or non-DM group with ICD-10 codes for DM plus use of antidiabetic drugs in 6 months before starting DMARDs (baseline period). To adjust baseline characteristics between the 2 groups, they were matched by sex, age, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) except for DM, months from the first RA codes to starting DMARDs, and medications. The primary endpoint was mean medical cost per patient in the 12-month follow-up period. Costs in JPY were converted into EUR (1 EUR = 125 JPY in 2020). Costs for drugs, treatments, and materials and their subcategories were evaluated both with and without DM-specific costs. The secondary endpoints were the proportions of patients using the subcategories of each resource.Results:Patients of 161 for the DM group and 2,974 for the non-DM group were eligible, and 109 patients were matched from each group. The medians of age and CCI were 59 years and 2.0 in both groups and no significant difference was observed in all baseline characteristics used for matching between the groups. Total mean costs were significantly higher in the DM group (DM, 5,331 EUR, non-DM 3,200 EUR; P< 0.05). After excluding DM-specific costs, drug costs were significantly higher in the DM group than in the non-DM group (DM 1,883 EUR, non-DM 896 EUR; P < 0.05), especially costs for biological DMARDs (DM 1,156 EUR, non-DM 292 EUR; P < 0.05), mainly because a higher proportion of patients used these drugs in the DM group (Table 1). Treatment costs (DM 2,380 EUR, non-DM 2,133 EUR) and material costs (DM 74 EUR, non-DM 149 EUR) were not different between the groups, but only costs for examinations were significantly higher in the DM group (DM 970 EUR, non-DM 779 EUR; P < 0.05).Table 1.Number and proportion of patients who used drugsType of drugDrug use, n (%)DM (N = 109)Non-DM (N = 109)P-valuecsDMARDsTotal109 (100.0)109 (100.0)1.000Methotrexate101 (92.7)102 (93.6)1.000Others46 (42.2)51 (46.8)0.583bDMARDsTotal16 (14.7)6 (5.5)0.041TNFi11 (10.1)4 (3.7)0.118IL6i6 (5.5)2 (1.8)0.219T-cell4 (3.7)0 (0.0)0.125tsDMARDs0 (0.0)0 (0.0)1.000CSs65 (59.6)62 (56.9)0.711AnalgesicsTotal103 (94.5)96 (88.1)0.167Acetaminophen24 (22.0)23 (21.1)1.000Acetaminophen /Opioids10 (9.2)6 (5.5)0.454NSAIDs102 (93.6)93 (85.3)0.093Opioids0 (0.0)4 (3.7)0.125Others25 (22.9)17 (15.6)0.185bDMARDs=biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs; CSs=corticosteroids; csDMARDs=conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs; DM=diabetes mellitus; IL6i=interleukin-6 inhibitor; NSAID=non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug; T-cell=selective T-cell co-stimulation modulator; TNFi=tumor necrosis factor α inhibitor; tsDMARDs=targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs; P-values were calculated using McNemar testConclusion:Medical costs for RA were higher in the DM group than in the non-DM group because of more prevalent use of biological DMARDs in the DM group.References:[1]Gabriel SE et al., Arthritis Res Ther. 2009;11(3):229.[2]Giacomelli R et al., Expert Rev Clin Immunol. 2016;12(8):849-55.[3]Crepaldi G et al., PLoS One. 2016;11(1):e0146991.[4]JMDC claims database, Tokyo, Japan.Disclosure of Interests:Eiichi Tanaka Speakers bureau: AbbVie GK, Asahi Kasei Pharma Corporation, Astellas Pharma Inc, Ayumi Pharmaceutical Corporation, Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Eisai Co., Ltd., Eli Lilly Japan K.K., GlaxoSmithKline K.K., Kyowa Pharma Chemical Co., Ltd., Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Mochida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, and Teijin Pharma Ltd., Eisuke Inoue Speakers bureau: Pfizer Japan, Bristol-Myers Squibb K.K., Ryoko Sakai Speakers bureau: Bristol Myers Squibb Co., Ltd., Grant/research support from: Tokyo Women’s Medical University (TWMU), particularly the Division of Multidisciplinary Management of Rheumatic Diseases, Department of Rheumatology, has received unrestricted research grants from Ayumi Pharmaceutical Co.; Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.; Eisai Co., Ltd., Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd.; Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.; Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.; Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Co.; and Teijin Pharma Ltd., with which TWMU paid the salaries of RS., Iwasaki Katsuhiko: None declared, Ayako Shoji: None declared, masayoshi harigai Speakers bureau: AbbVie GK, Ayumi Pharmaceutical Corporation, Bristol-Myers Squibb K.K., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Eisai Co., Ltd., Eli Lilly Japan K.K., Pfizer Japan Inc., and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Consultant of: AbbVie GK, Bristol-Myers Squibb K.K., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Eli Lilly Japan K.K., and Gilead Sciences Inc., Grant/research support from: AbbVie GK, and Asahi Kasei Corp., Astellas Pharma Inc., Ayumi Pharmaceutical Corporation, Bristol-Myers Squibb K.K., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Abstract
Background:The 2019 update of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) treatment recommendations strongly recommends co-administration of corticosteroids (CSs) with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) in patients with RA as bridging therapy to improve the success rate of the first-line treatment and to avoid disease flare-ups1; however, current treatment guidelines for RA in Japan do not clearly mention about their use. Poor disease management after the initial diagnosis can affect the overall use of health services and the economic burden on patients.Objectives:To describe medical costs and resource use in patients with early RA treated with and without oral or injectable corticosteroids (CSs) as part of their initial treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in Japan.Methods:We used a large Japanese administrative claims database constructed by the Japan Medical Data Center (JMDC)2. Patients with the International Classification of Diseases 10th revision (ICD-10) codes for RA were enrolled at the first DMARDs prescription after no DMARDs prescription period for 6-months (index date) in the period from 1/1/2012 to 12/31/2017. Patients who were observable for 12 months after the index date as a follow-up period were included. Patients treated with CSs within the follow-up period were compared with those without them (CS and non-CS group). The primary endpoint was mean medical cost per patient in the 12-month follow-up period. The secondary endpoints were costs for drugs, treatments, and materials and the proportions of patients using the subcategories of each resource. Drugs were divided into medications for RA or for comorbidities including adverse events (AEs). Costs in JPY were converted into EUR (1 EUR = 125 JPY in 2020).Results:Eligible patients of 1,670 and 1,487 were identified as the CS and non-CS group (median age: 51 years and 50 years). Total mean costs were significantly higher in the CS group (CS, 4,448 EUR, non-CS 3,208 EUR; P< 0.05).

Abstract
Background:Recently, vital prognosis has been improved in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA)1. In elderly patients, it is difficult to establish a treatment strategy due to multi-morbidities and treatment-related risks. Since older age is a significant risk factor of serious infections, one of the primary concerns during treatment of RA, rheumatologists should always strike a balance between efficacy and safety of the immunosuppressive treatment. However, infection data under the targeted therapy (TT) in elderly patients is still limited to date.Objectives:To compare the risk of hospitalized infection (HI) under the TT among young, elderly, and older elderly patients with RA using the Japanese health insurance database.Methods:This retrospective longitudinal population-based study was conducted using claims data in Japan provided by Medical Data Vision Co., Ltd. We defined individuals as RA cases if they met all of the following: 1) having at least one ICD10 code (M05x, M06x except for M061, or M08x except for M081 and M082); 2) having at least one prescription of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) including methotrexate (MTX) and TT (biological DMARDs and Janus kinase inhibitors) between April 2008 and September 2018; and 3) 16 years old or older. We define the month patients met the above all criteria for the first time in this database as the index month. We excluded patients who were prescribed any DMARDs during the first 12 months from MTX users and those with prescription of any TT during the first 12 months from TT users (i.e., prevalent users). Among the study population, we divided patients into 3 groups according to their age at the index month; young group (16-64), elderly group (65-74), and older elderly group (>=75). The observation started from the index month and ended at 36 months later, the last month of the exposure of DMARDs, the month of loss of follow-up, or September 2019, whichever came first. HI was defined by ICD10 code with one prescription of predefined drugs for each infection during hospitalizations. Some of HIs were defined by ICD10 code alone.Results:In this study, 8269, 6454, 5745 patients with RA were included in the young, elderly, and older elderly groups, respectively. The incidence rate (IR) of HI (/100 patient-years [PY]) [95%CI] was 3.4 [3.1-3.7] in the young group, 5.8 [5.3-6.3] in the elderly group, and 12.0 [11.2-12.8] in the older elderly group. IR rate (IRR) of HI (reference: the young group) was 1.7 [1.5-1.9] in the elderly group and 3.6 [3.2-4.0] in the older elderly group. In the young group, the IRR of HI in TT users vs MTX users was significantly elevated (1.8 [1.5-2.1]), whereas, those of the elderly and the older elderly groups were significantly decreased (IRR 0.8 [0.7-0.9] for elderly; 0.6 [0.5-0.7] for older elderly). Concomitant use of immunosuppressive DMARDs or prednisolone >=10mg/day with TT became less frequent with aging.Conclusion:The elderly and older elderly patients had significantly higher risks of HI compared to the young. The risk of HI under the TT compared to MTX was decreased in the elderly patients, probably due to adjusting for treatment by attending physicians.References:[1]Arthritis Rheum 2014;66:786-93Acknowledgments:This work was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 17K08963.Disclosure of Interests:Ryoko Sakai Grant/research support from: Tokyo Women’s Medical University (TWMU) has received unrestricted research grants forDivision of Epidemiology and Pharmacoepidemiology of Rheumatic Diseases from Ayumi Pharmaceutical Co.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) is a degenerative disease characterized by progressive cartilage degeneration, abnormal bone remodeling, and chronic pain. In this study, we aimed to investigate effective therapies to reverse or suppress TMJOA progression. DESIGN To this end, we performed intravenous administration of serum free conditioned media from human exfoliated deciduous teeth stem cells (SHED-CM) into a mechanical-stress induced murine TMJOA model. RESULTS SHED-CM administration markedly suppressed temporal muscle inflammation, and improved bone integrity and surface smoothness of the destroyed condylar cartilage. Moreover, SHED-CM treatment decreased the number of IL-1β, iNOS, and MMP-13 expressing chondrocytes, whereas it specifically increased PCNA-positive cells in the multipotent polymorphic cell layer. Notably, the numbers of TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL)-positive apoptotic chondrocytes in the SHED-CM treated condyles were significantly lower than in those treated with DMEM, whereas the proteoglycan positive area was restored to a level similar to that of the sham treated group, demonstrating that SHED-CM treatment regenerated the mechanical-stress injured condylar cartilage and subchondral bone. Secretome analysis revealed that SHED-CM contained multiple therapeutic factors that act in osteochondral regeneration. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrated that SHED-CM treatment promoted the regeneration and repair of mechanical-stress induced mouse TMJOA. Our observations suggest that SHED-CM has potential to be a potent tissue-regenerating therapeutic agent for patients with severe TMJOA.

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is common in women with reproductive age. For this reason, RA treatment during pregnancy and lactation is very important. In recent years, the use of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) has become common in RA treatment (1), treatment during pregnancy and lactation has changed drastically (2,3).Objectives:To investigate the pregnancy, delivery and lactation status of RA patients and treatment during that period in daily practice.Methods:The IORRA cohort is a large, single institute-based, observational cohort of RA patients established at Institute of Rheumatology, Tokyo Women’s Medical University, in 2000. We identified female RA patients aged 20-49 years who answered ‘pregnant’ or ‘delivered’ in the IORRA survey in 2010-2016 and whose pregnancies were confirmed in the medical records. We examined the Disease Activity Score with 28 joint count (DAS28)-CRP, medication use situation, the outcome of pregnancy, and lactation in those patients.Results:A total of 101 patients and 143 pregnancies were confirmed, of which 136 outcomes of pregnancy could be confirmed in the medical records. Among 136 confirmed pregnancy cases, there were 106 births and 30 miscarriages. Among 106 births, 4 cases (3.8%) were birth defects that could be confirmed in the medical records. The average age at pregnancy was 34.2±3.7 years and 36.1±3.3 years in delivered and miscarried cases, respectively. Miscarried cases were significantly older pregnancies (p=0.01). Of the 106 births, 65 birth weeks were confirmed, with an average of 37.9±1.8 weeks. The number of preterm delivery was 11 cases (16.9%). The average birth weight of 59 babies whose birth weight could be confirmed was 2699±517 g. There were 21 cases (35.6%) of low birth weight infants. The proportion of patients in DAS28-CRP remission was 73.1% before pregnancy, 61.6% during pregnancy, and 68.0% 1 year after delivery. Drugs used before pregnancy were glucocorticoid (48.8%), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (14.2%), conventional synthetic DMARDs (24.8%), and bDMARDs (48.0%). Etanercept accounted for 90% of bDMARDs. Among taking bDMARDs patients, 73.8% were discontinued after the pregnancy, and 26.2% were continued during pregnancy. Among those patients who continued bDMARDs, lactating patients were 12/26 (46.2%) cases after delivery, 10/30 (33.3%) cases in six months after delivery, and 7/36 (19.4%) cases in 1 year after delivery, respectively.Conclusion:The actual situation of pregnancy, delivery, and lactation in RA patients was revealed. Especially, bDMARDs were used at relatively high rates in RA patients who wish to have a child.References:[1]Lancet. 2017;10;389:2338-2348.[2]Semin Arthritis Rheum. 2019;49:S32-S35.[3]Rheumatology. 2016;55:1693-7.Disclosure of Interests:Moeko Ochiai: None declared, Eiichi Tanaka Consultant of: ET has received lecture fees or consulting fees from Abbvie, Asahi Kasei pharma co., Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Eisai Pharmaceutical, Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Nippon Kayaku, Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., and UCB Pharma., Speakers bureau: ET has received lecture fees or consulting fees from Abbvie, Asahi Kasei pharma co., Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Eisai Pharmaceutical, Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Nippon Kayaku, Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., and UCB Pharma., Eisuke Inoue Speakers bureau: EI has received speaker fee from Bristol-Meyers, Pfizer, Merck serono., Mai Abe: None declared, Eri Sugano: None declared, Naohiro Sugitani: None declared, Kumiko Saka: None declared, higuchi yoko: None declared, Rei Yamaguchi: None declared, Naoki Sugimoto: None declared, Ikari Katsunori Speakers bureau: KI has received speaker’s fee from Asahi Kasei Pharma Corp., Astellas Pharma Inc., AbbVie Japan GK, Ayumi Pharmaceutical Co., Bristol Myers Squibb Co., Ltd., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Eis, ai Co., Ltd., Eli Lilly Japan K.K., Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Kaken Pharmaceutical Co.

Abstract
Background:Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) requires a long-term maintenance therapy (MT), often accompanied by hospitalization due to relapse and/or comorbidities such as infection1. However, data about direct medical costs of hospitalization during MT in patients with AAV is limited to date despite of an increasing concern about the economic burden of patients with AAV2-3.Objectives:To describe frequency of hospitalization and its direct medical costs during MT after the remission-induction therapy (RT) in patients with AAV using Japanese health insurance database.Methods:This retrospective longitudinal population-based study was conducted using claims data in Japan provided by Medical Data Vision Co., Ltd. We defined individuals as AAV cases receiving RT if they met all of the following: 1) having at least one ICD10 code (M300, M301, M313, or M318); 2) having at least one prescription of oral corticosteroids with prednisolone-equivalent dosage ≥30 mg/day, methylprednisolone pulse therapy, immunosuppressive drugs (cyclophosphamide [IVCY], methotrexate, or mycophenolate mofetil), or rituximab (RTX) during hospitalization between April 2008 and April 2017; and 3) having at least 7 days of hospitalization. The observation started from the next day of discharge from the first hospitalization for RT and ended at 24 months later, the month of loss of follow-up, or April 2017. We described the frequency of hospitalization and calculated direct medical costs (per month) during the observation. We analyzed medical costs from a societal perspective. We classified reasons of hospitalization into 3 categories; intensification of treatments for AAV, AAV MT including IVCY or RTX treatments, and comorbidities (infection, cardiovascular disease [CVD], malignancy, and others) using ICD10 codes plus treatments or interventions during the hospitalization.Results:In this study, 1,703 patients with AAV were included. The median [IQR] age was 72 [63, 79] years and 55.7% were female. The total number of hospitalization was 1,897 in 863 patients (50.7%). Among the hospitalizations, 296 hospitalization in 235 patients were categorized as intensification of treatments for AAV, 627 hospitalization in 297 patients were AAV MT, and 974 hospitalization in 572 patients were categorized as comorbidities. In the last category, infections were most frequent (220), followed by malignancy (54) and CVD (15). The mean direct medical costs per month was 20,945 EUR (1 EUR=125 JPY) in patients with hospitalization and 599 EUR in those without. Patients with hospitalization due to intensification of treatments for AAV had the highest direct medical costs (3,000 EUR), followed by those with hospitalization due to comorbidities (2,001 EUR), and those with hospitalization due to AAV MT (1,649 EUR).Conclusion:More than half of the patients had hospitalization during MT, and hospitalization due to comorbidities were most frequent. The mean direct medical costs in patients with at least one hospitalization was approximately 3.5 times as high as that in those without hospitalization.References:[1]Presse Med. 2015; 44:e251-e257[2]J.

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder leading to disability and reduced quality of life. Effective treatment with biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARD) poses a significant economic burden. The abatacept (ABT) versus adalimumab comparison in biologic-naive RA subjects with background methotrexate (AMPLE) trial1was a head-to-head randomized study.Objectives:To assess the cost-effectiveness (CE) of early initiation of ABT on Japanese RA patients with data from the IORRA database (ID).2Methods:A model based on the AMPLE study was used to estimate the CE of ABT 1stversus ABT 2ndlines in a cohort of 1000 patients based on responses on ACR20/50/70, HAQ-DI, CDAI and SDAI estimated from the real-clinical data of the ID. Unit costs for direct medical costs of adverse events (AEs), proportions of patients with concomitant medications or outpatient/inpatient visits; doses and duration of concomitant medications were taken from the JMDC claims database.3Uncertainty was assessed in sensitivity analyses (SA) where cost parameters were tested on their ±30% levels. Results were compared between subgroups using cut-offs of 65-years of age and 1.5 of HAQ, or 5-years of treatment duration. The study used a Japanese healthcare payers’ perspective over a 2-year time horizon.Results:Incremental costs were all in favor of ABT 2ndline with 137 MJPY (1.1 M€, 120 JPY=1 €), 6 MJPY (0.05 M€), 41 MJPY (0.3 M€), 8 MJPY (0.07 M€) and 2.2 MJPY (0.02 M€) for bDMARDs, concomitant medication, AEs, serious AE, and hospitalizations due to infections, respectively. In total, the incremental costs were expected to be 195 MJPY (1.6 M€) higher for ABT as 1stline treatment, but the cost per responding patient and per patient in remission favored ABT 1stline across most response outcomes (Table 1).Table 1.Total costs per responder and patient in remission per 2-yearDifference in cost per health gain(ABT first line - ABT second line)Cost per responding patient (kJPY)ACR20-2,927 (-24 k€)ACR50-6,406 (-53 k€)ACR70-10,822 (-90 k€)HAQ-DI-5,120 (-43 k€)Cost per patient in remission (kJPY)DAS28828 (7 k€)CDAI-7,019 (-58 k€)SDAI-5,584 (-47 k€)ABT=abatacept; ACR20/50/70= 20/50/70% improvement of the American college of rheumatology criteria; HAQ-DI=health assessment questionnaire disability index; DAS28=disease activity score; CDAI=clinical disease activity index; SDAI=simplified disease activity indexSA showed that the cost for bDMARDs drives the difference in healthcare costs between the cohorts (-685 MJPY to 1,074 MJPY). For sub-groups of patients ≥65 years, <65 years, HAQ≥1.5, HAQ <1.5, treatment duration ≥5 years, <5 years the total 2-yearly costs per responder (SDAI remission) were 106 kJPY (0.9 k€), 321 kJPY (2.7 k€), 1,353 kJPY (11.3 k€), 106 kJPY (0.9 k€), 231 kJPY (1.9 k€) and 178 kJPY (1.5 k€) lower for ABT 1stline, respectively.Conclusion:Savings per responding patient are expected if ABT are prescribed as 1stline versus 2ndor 3rdline treatment, irrespective of age, disease duration and functional impairment level.References:[1]Sokolove J MS et al.,Anna rheum dis.2015;74(Suppl 2)[2]IORRA cohort database, Tokyo Women’s Medical University, Tokyo, Japan[3]JMDC claims database, Tokyo, JapanDisclosure of Interests:Eiichi Tanaka Consultant of: ET has received lecture fees or consulting fees from Abbvie, Asahi Kasei pharma co., Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Eisai Pharmaceutical, Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Nippon Kayaku, Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., and UCB Pharma., Speakers bureau: ET has received lecture fees or consulting fees from Abbvie, Asahi Kasei pharma co., Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Eisai Pharmaceutical, Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Nippon Kayaku, Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., and UCB Pharma., Eisuke Inoue Speakers bureau: EI has received speaker fee from Bristol-Meyers, Pfizer, Merck serono., Ayako Shoji Consultant of: To conduct this work, Jonas Nilsson Consultant of: To conduct this study, Christos Papagiannopoulos Consultant of: To conduct this study, Dhanda Devender Shareholder of: BMS, Employee of: BMS, Yoshio Anazawa Shareholder of: BMS, Employee of: BMS, Yuri Yoshizawa Shareholder of: BMS, Employee of: BMS, masayoshi harigai Grant/research support from: AbbVie Japan GK, Ayumi Pharmaceutical Co., Bristol Myers Squibb Co., Ltd., Eisai Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Co., Nippon Kayaku Co., Ltd., and Teijin Pharma Ltd.

Abstract
Background:It has been reported that female rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have a longer time to pregnancy than healthy women (1), and that high Disease Activity Score with 28 joint count (DAS28) -CRP in preconception increases the frequency of infertility (2). Before the era of biologics, RA treatment tended to be inadequate from pregnancy planning to the end of lactation. And it was not uncommon for female RA patients to be unable to get pregnant or develop physical dysfunction as a result of insufficient control of the disease. There are some reports of disease activity during pregnancy and postpartum in RA patients, and the effects of RA disease activity on pregnancy and childbirth outcomes (3-5), but there are few reports focusing on the physical function during pregnancy planning of RA patients.Objectives:To investigate disease activity and physical function in female patients with RA who planned and didn’t plan pregnancy.Methods:The IORRA cohort is a large, single institute-based, observational cohort of RA patients established at the Institute of Rheumatology, Tokyo Women’s Medical University, in 2000. We identified female RA patients aged 20-49 years who answered ‘pregnant’ or ‘delivered’ in the IORRA survey in 2010-2015 and whose pregnancy and the pregnancy planning time was confirmed in the medical records, and defined them as the pregnancy planning (PP) group. Matched control was extracted at 1:3 ratio from patients without pregnancy plan based on entry time, age, RA disease duration, DAS28-CRP, Japanese version of Health Assessment Questionnaire (J-HAQ) score, and comorbidities. The primary endpoint was J-HAQ at 3years from the baseline, which was defined as the most recent IORRA survey before planning pregnancy. The mixed-effect model for repeated measures was used to analyze group difference.Results:There were 40 patients in the PP group (average 32.2 years, disease duration 5.7 years, DAS28-CRP 1.7, J-HAQ 0.26), and 120 patients in the control group (average 32.4 years, disease duration 5.9 years, DAS28-CRP 1.7, J-HAQ 0.21). The proportion of user and dosage of MTX and glucocorticoid (GC) and bDMARDs user at baseline were comparable between the groups (MTX: PP 87.5% [9.8 mg/week], control 85.0% [8.8 mg/week]; GC: PP 32.5% [3.6 mg/day], control 27.5% [4.4 mg/day]; bDMARDs: PP 40.0%, control 27.5%). DAS28-CRP at year 3 of the PP group elevated and was higher than the control group (PP 2.3, control 1.7, p<0.01), while J-HAQ was stable over the observation period and did not differ significantly at year 3 (PP 0.21, control 0.22, p=0.92). At year 3, the proportion of patients taking MTX was lower and taking GC was higher in the PP group than those in the control group (MTX: PP 36.7%, control 76.7%, p<0.01; GC: PP 70.0%, control 25.6%, p<0.01). The proportion of patients taking bDMARDs was not different in both groups (PP 36.7%, control 32.6%, p=0.68).Conclusion:Physical function in pregnancy planning patients with RA did not deteriorate as well as the control patients in clinical settings.References:[1]Arthritis Rheum. 2011;63:1517-1521.[2]Ann Rheum Dis. 2015;10:1836-1841.[3]J Rheumatol. 2015;42:1376-1382.[4]J Rheumatol. 2019;46:245-250.[5]Arthritis Care Res. 2017;69:1297-1303.Disclosure of Interests:Moeko Ochiai: None declared, Eiichi Tanaka Consultant of: ET has received lecture fees or consulting fees from Abbvie, Asahi Kasei pharma co., Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Eisai Pharmaceutical, Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Nippon Kayaku, Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., and UCB Pharma., Speakers bureau: ET has received lecture fees or consulting fees from Abbvie, Asahi Kasei pharma co., Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Eisai Pharmaceutical, Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Nippon Kayaku, Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., and UCB Pharma., Eisuke Inoue Speakers bureau: EI has received speaker fee from Bristol-Meyers, Pfizer, Merck serono., Mai Abe: None declared, Eri Sugano: None declared, Naohiro Sugitani: None declared, Kumiko Saka: None declared, higuchi yoko: None declared, Rei Yamaguchi: None declared, Naoki Sugimoto: None declared, Ikari Katsunori Speakers bureau: KI has received speaker’s fee from Asahi Kasei Pharma Corp., Astellas Pharma Inc., AbbVie Japan GK, Ayumi Pharmaceutical Co., Bristol Myers Squibb Co., Ltd., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Eis, ai Co., Ltd., Eli Lilly Japan K.K., Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Kaken Pharmaceutical Co.

Abstract
Background:The mortality of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) had been reported as being worse than that of the general population [1, 2], but is expected to have improved over time because the progress in treatment of RA during the past twenty years has been actively adopted to RA management [3, 4]. However, the change in the mortality still remains controversial in patients with early RA [5, 6].Objectives:To investigate whether the vital prognosis of patients with early RA has changed in the past twenty years.Methods:The IORRA cohort is a large observational cohort established in 2000 at the Institute of Rheumatology, Tokyo Women’s Medical University. Essentially, all Japanese patients diagnosed with RA at our institute were registered and clinical parameters were assessed biannually. As there is no National Death Registry in Japan, we obtained death report from residual families who responded to our mail query to patients who failed to conduct the subsequent IORRA survey, from physicians of affiliated hospitals and from police in case they found dead patient outside of a hospital. In this study, the patients with early RA (less than 2 years of disease duration) who participated in the survey for the first time from 2001 to 2012 were included and observed for five years from the date of the initial survey. We classified patients into group A (enrolled in 2001-2006) and B (enrolled in 2007-2012). Five-year survival rate and standardized mortality ratio (SMR) were calculated for each group. SMR was calculated using the life tables in Japanese general population reported by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japan. The effects of loss to follow-up cases were evaluated by multiple imputation method as a sensitivity analysis of SMR.Results:A total of 3,217 patients with early RA were analyzed. The number of patients was 1,609 (79.4% female) in the group A and 1,608 (81.8% female) in B. The median age at baseline was 55 in both groups. Among a total of 3,217 patients, 486 (15.1%) patients were lost during 5-year follow-up; 213 (13.2%) in the group A and 273 (17.0%) in B, respectively. During the observational period, deaths were confirmed in 47 cases (2.9%) in the group A and 45 (2.8%) in B. Major causes of death included malignancies (28% in the group A, 38% in B), respiratory involvement (23% in the group A, 40% in B), cerebrovascular disorders (11% in the group A, 2% in B), and cardiovascular disorders (11% in the group A, 0% in B). The five-year survival rate was 88.8% for the group A and 87.8% for B, and the SMR was 0.81 (95%CI: 0.59-1.08) for the group A and 0.78 (0.57-1.04) for B when assuming all the lost to follow-up patients were alive for 5 years. In the sensitivity analysis assuming that the mortality rate of patients who were lost to follow-up was twice as that of the general population, the SMR was 0.90 (0.68-1.19) for the group A and 0.92 (0.68-1.23) for B.Conclusion:The mortality of patients with early RA in the past twenty years has been comparable to that of the Japanese general population. In addition, the SMR and the five-year survival rate did not change overtime.References:[1]Cobb, S., et al. N Engl J Med 1953; 249(14): 553-556.[2]Nakajima, A., et al.

Abstract
Background:Patients with elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA) are on the rise in the aging or super-aging society, especially in Japan. Patients with EORA have more comorbidities than those with younger-onset RA, a higher risk of adverse drug reactions due to reduced drug metabolism, and a higher risk of infections1). Therefore, patients with EORA tend to receive suboptimal treatment, resulting in insufficient control of disease activity2). Although several studies reported treatment responsiveness in patients with EORA, many of them have a limited observation period3-8), and long-term treatment responses and their associated factors need to be clarified.Objectives:We retrospectively evaluated treatment responses of patients with EORA for 3 years and their associated factors in a clinical setting.Methods:The Institute of Rheumatology Rheumatoid Arthritis (IORRA) cohort is a large, single institute-based, observational cohort of RA patients established at Institute of Rheumatology, Tokyo Women’s Medical University, in 2000. The subjects were RA patients who first enrolled in the IORRA cohort from 2010 to 2014, were over 60 years old with less than 1-year disease duration, and had a DAS28-ESR over 3.2 at entry. The primary endpoint was DAS28-ESR <3.2 after 3-year observation. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors at baseline associated with the primary endpoint. The missing values of DAS28-ESR were imputed by using the last observation carried forward method.Results:Among a total of 250 patients in this study, 152 patients (60.8%) achieved DAS28-ESR <3.2 after 3-year observation (remission/low disease activity (RL) group), and 98 patients did not (moderate/high disease activity (MH) group). Baseline characteristics of the patients were as follows (average ± SD or %): the RL group, age 69.9 ± 6.5, female 77%, DAS28-ESR 4.3 ± 0.8, J-HAQ 0.9 ± 0.7, PSL user 23.7%, MTX user 64.5%, and biologics user 4.0%; the MH group, age 69.4 ± 6.7, female 80.6%, DAS28-ESR 4.4 ± 0.8, J-HAQ 1.0 ± 0.7, PSL user 36.7%, MTX user 64.3%, and biologics user 6.1%. Proportions of the patients with cardiovascular disease and malignancy were 13.3% and 11.2% in the MH group and 5.9% and 1.3% in the RL group, respectively. DAS28-ESR and J-HAQ score after 3-year observation of the RL group were 2.3±0.5 and 0.4±0.5, respectively, and those of the MH group were 3.4±0.9 and 1.0±0.8, respectively. Corticosteroid use and having malignancy at baseline were associated with not achieving DAS28-ESR <3.2 after 3-year observation using multivariate analysis (Table 1). Similar results were obtained when MTX use and corticosteroid use were replaced by the average dose of each drug.Conclusion:The majority of the patients with EORA achieved DAS28-ESR <3.2 after 3-year observation, and no use of corticosteroid and absence of malignancy at baseline were associated with the good outcome.References:[1]Nat Rev Rheumatol 2013;9:604-613[2]Ann Rheum Dis 2006;65:1226-1229[3]Ann Rheum Dis 2009;68:1470–1473[4]Joint Bone Spine 2015;82:25-30[5]J Rheumatol 2016;43:1974-1983[6]Rheumatology 2015;54:798-807[7]Rheumatology 2014;53:1075-1086[8]Japanese Journal of Geriatrics 2018;55:251-258Acknowledgments:We thank all patients who participated in the IORRA survey and all of the members of the Institute of Rheumatology, Tokyo Women’s Medical University, for the successful management of the IORRA cohort.Disclosure of Interests:Mai Abe: None declared, Eiichi Tanaka Consultant of: Abbvie, Asahi Kasei pharma co., Bristol Myers Squibb, Chugai Pharmaceutical, Daiichi Sankyo Co., Eisai Pharmaceutical, Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Nippon Kayaku, Pfizer, Takeda Pharmaceutical, Taisho Toyama Pharmaceutical Co., and UCB Pharma., Eisuke Inoue Speakers bureau: EI has received speaker fee from Bristol-Meyers, Pfizer, Merck serono., Eri Sugano: None declared, Naohiro Sugitani: None declared, Kumiko Saka: None declared, Moeko Ochiai: None declared, Yoko Shimizu: None declared, Rei Yamaguchi: None declared, Naoki Sugimoto: None declared, Katsunori Ikari Speakers bureau: Asahi Kasei Pharma Corp., Astellas Pharma Inc., AbbVie Japan GK, Ayumi Pharmaceutical Co., Bristol Myers Squibb Co., Ltd., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Eis, ai Co., Ltd., Eli Lilly Japan K.K., Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Kaken Pharmaceutical Co.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Social relationships may help in maintaining functional status among older adults. This study examined the types of social relationships that were related to functional status among Japanese community-dwelling older adults. STUDY DESIGN This is a prospective cohort study. METHODS We used baseline data from 2008 and conducted follow-up surveys six years later. Participants included individuals older than 65 years who lived in a suburban community in Japan. The Index of Social Interaction measure was used to assess multiple elements of social relationships. Two functional status outcomes were set: (1) functional decline and (2) functional decline and mortality. A multiple logistic regression model was used to examine the association between social relationships and functional decline six years later. RESULTS After controlling for age, sex, family structure and disease status in 2008, poor social curiosity (odds ratio [OR] = 1.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.69) and interaction (OR = 2.57, 95% CI: 1.20-5.51) were found to be associated with functional decline. Furthermore, social curiosity (OR = 1.39, 95% CI: 1.14-1.69) and interaction (OR = 2.84, 95% CI: 1.44-5.59) were also associated with the composite outcome. CONCLUSIONS Social curiosity and interacting with others were significantly associated with functional status. Promotion of social interaction may be essential for preventing future need for care.

Abstract
Pore-forming peptides are of interest due to their antimicrobial activity and ability to form gateways through lipid membranes. Chemical modification of these peptides makes it possible to arrange several peptide monomers into well-defined pore-forming structures using various templating strategies. These templated super-structures can exert antimicrobial activity at significantly lower total peptide concentration than their untemplated equivalents. In addition, the chemical moieties used for templating may be functionalized to interact specifically with targeted membranes such as those of pathogens or cancer cells. A range of molecular templates has been explored, including dimerization of pore-forming monomers, their covalent attachment to cyclodextrin, porphyrin or fullerene scaffolds as well as attachment of amino acid linkers or nucleic acid constructs to generate assemblies of 4 to 26 peptides or proteins. Compared to free peptide monomers, templated pore assemblies showed increased membrane affinity, prolonged open-state lifetimes of the pores and more frequent pore formation due to higher local concentration. These constructs are useful model systems for biophysical studies to understand porin and ion channel proteins and their mechanisms of insertion into lipid membranes. Recently designed DNA-templates are expanding the usefulness of templated pore assemblies beyond applications of cell killing and may include targeted drug delivery and accelerate the emerging field of single-molecule detection and characterization of biomolecules by nanopore-based resistive pulse sensing.

Abstract
An external electric AC field with a field strength ranging from 10 V mm-1 to 30 V mm-1 and a frequency ranging from 0.1 kHz to 1 MHz was applied to suspensions of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) to control their plasmonic properties. Apparent differences in the UV-vis spectra of the Au NPs were observed between the spectra with and without the field application. The characteristic red color of the Au NP suspension darkened; this suggested that the application of the AC field caused the aggregation of the Au NPs. In addition, the sizes of the Au NP clusters in suspension formed by the AC field application depended on the frequency of the applied field. The surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) effects of Au NP clusters were examined by comparing the difference in Raman intensities obtained at 30 V mm-1 and in a frequency range of 0.1 kHz to 1 MHz. The application of a low-frequency field at 0.1 kHz caused a rapid aggregation of the Au NPs, resulting in low Raman intensities of the probe molecules. Conversely, high-frequency applications between 1 kHz and 1 MHz successfully enhanced the Raman intensities of the molecules in suspension. The strong correlation of the optical/sensing properties with the Au NP clustering states reveals that the application of an AC electric field is a powerful tool for control over the plasmonic properties.

Abstract
The development of new materials with reduced noise and vibration levels is an active area of research due to concerns in various aspects of environmental noise pollution and its effects on health. Excessive vibrations also reduce the service live of the structures and limit the fields of their utilization. In oscillations, the viscoelastic moduli of a material are complex and it is their loss part - the product of the stiffness part and loss tangent - that is commonly viewed as a figure of merit in noise and vibration damping applications. The stiffness modulus and loss tangent are usually mutually exclusive properties so it is a technological challenge to develop materials that simultaneously combine high stiffness and high loss. Here we achieve this rare balance of properties by filling a solid polymer matrix with rigid inorganic spheres coated by a sub-micron layer of a viscoelastic material with a high level of internal friction. We demonstrate that this combination can be experimentally realised and that the analytically predicted behaviour is closely reproduced, thereby escaping the often termed 'Ashby' limit for mechanical stiffness/damping trade-off and offering a new route for manufacturing advanced composite structures with markedly reduced noise and vibration levels.

Abstract
In synovial joints, friction between articular surfaces leads to shear stress within the cartilaginous tissue, which might result in tissue rupture and failure. Joint friction depends on synovial lubrication of the articular surfaces, which can be altered due to compressive loading. Therefore, we hypothesized that the frictional coefficient of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is affected by the magnitude and duration of loading. We tested this by measuring the frictional coefficient in 20 intact porcine TMJs using a pendulum-type friction tester. The mean frictional coefficient was 0.0145 (SD 0.0027) after a constant loading of 50 N during 5 sec. The frictional coefficient increased with the length of the preceding loading duration and exceeded 0.0220 (SD 0.0014) after 1 hr. Application of larger loading (80 N) resulted in significantly larger frictional coefficients. In conclusion, the frictional coefficient in the TMJ was proportional to the magnitude and duration of joint loading.

Abstract
The mandibular condylar cartilage plays an important role as a stress absorber during function. However, relatively little information is available on its dynamic properties under compression. We hypothesized that these properties are region-specific and depend on loading frequency. To characterize the viscoelastic properties of the condylar cartilage, we performed dynamic indentation tests over a wide range of loading frequencies. Ten porcine mandibular condyles were used; the articular surface was divided into 4 regions, anteromedial, anterolateral, posteromedial, and posterolateral. The dynamic complex, storage, and loss moduli increased with frequency, and these values were the highest in the anteromedial region. Loss tangent decreased with frequency from 0.68 to 0.17, but a regional difference was not found. The present results suggest that the dynamic compressive modulus is region-specific and is dependent on the loading frequency, which might have important implications for the transmission of load in the temporomandibular joint.

Abstract
Shear stress can result in fatigue, damage, and irreversible deformation of the temporomandibular joint disc. Insight into the dynamic shear properties of the disc may give insight into the mechanism inducing tissue failure due to shear. We tested the hypothesis that the dynamic shear properties of the disc depend on the amount of shear and compressive strain. Twenty-four porcine discs were used for dynamic shear tests. The specimens were clamped between the plates of a loading apparatus under compressive strains of 5%, 10%, and 15%. Dynamic shear was applied to the specimen by a sinusoidal strain of, respectively, 0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%. Both the dynamic elasticity and viscosity were proportional to compressive strain and inversely proportional to shear strain. These shear characteristics suggest a significant role of compressive and shear strain on the internal friction of the disc.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine hyaluronan (HA) metabolism in relation to the onset and progression of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) induced by mechanical overloading. Two-month-old and 6-month-old C57BL/6N mice were divided into experimental and untreated control groups (n = 5/group). A sliding plate was attached to the maxillary incisors of the experimental mice for 10 days to overload the condylar cartilage in TMJ. In experimental group, profound cartilage degradation was detected in haematoxylin-eosin, Safranin-O-Fast Green-stained sections. It was also shown that the cartilage degradation was greater in older mice in both the control and the experimental groups. The number of HABP-positive cells was decreased by mechanical overloading and with age. The reduction of HA expression was correlated with the progression of cartilage degradation induced by mechanical overloading. The absolute quantification of the mRNA expression related to HA synthesis and HA degradation was also performed in each group. The mRNA expression levels of HA synthase (HAS) 2 and 3 were lower in the experimental group compared with the control group in the younger mice. In contrast, the mRNA expression levels of the HA degradation gene, HYAL2 and KIAA1199, were higher in the experimental group compared with the control group in the older mice. Thus, mechanical overload differently affected the balance of HA degradation and HA synthesis in the older and younger mice, respectively. In conclusion, mechanical overloading affects HA metabolism and it might initiate or amplify the condylar cartilage degradation.

Significant associations of HLA-DP alleles with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection are evident in Asian and Arabian populations, including Japanese, Han Chinese, Korean, and Saudi Arabian populations. Here, significant associations between CHB infection and five DPB1 alleles (two susceptibility alleles, DPB1(*) 05:01 and (*) 09:01, and three protective alleles, DPB1(*) 02:01, (*) 04:01, and (*) 04:02) were confirmed in a population comprising of 2582 Japanese individuals. Furthermore, odds ratios for CHB were higher for those with both DPB1 susceptibility alleles than for those with only one susceptibility allele; therefore, effects of susceptibility alleles were additive for risk of CHB infection. Similarly, protective alleles showed an additive effect on protection from CHB infection. Moreover, heterozygotes of any protective allele showed stronger association with CHB than did homozygotes, suggesting that heterozygotes may bind a greater variety of hepatitis B-derived peptides, and thus present these peptides more efficiently to T-cell receptors than homozygotes. Notably, compound heterozygote of the protective allele (any one of DPB1*02:01, *04:01, and *04:02) and the susceptible allele DPB1*05:01 was significantly associated with protection against CHB infection, which indicates that one protective HLA-DPB1 molecule can provide dominant protection. Identification of the HLA-DPB1 genotypes associated with susceptibility to and protection from CHB infection is essential for future analysis of the mechanisms responsible for immune recognition of hepatitis B virus antigens by HLA-DPB1 molecules.
