Abstract
Background: The factors associated with a low plasma xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activity were not elucidated in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). Methods: Two-hundred and twenty-nine AHF patients who visited the emergency department were prospectively analyzed. AHF patients were divided into 3 groups according to the plasma XOR quartiles (Q1 = low-XOR group [n = 57], Q2/Q3 = middle-XOR group [n = 115], and Q4 = high-XOR group [n = 57]). The prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score were evaluated. Results: The multivariate logistic regression model showed that the nutritional status (PNI: OR 1.044, 95% CI 1.000–1.088; CONUT: OR 3.805, 95% CI 1.158–12.498), age, and serum creatinine level were independently associated with a low plasma XOR activity. The Kaplan-Meier curve showed a significantly lower incidence of heart failure events in the low-XOR group than in the middle + high-XOR group (hazard ratio, HR 1.648, 95% CI 1.061–2.559). In particular, a low XOR activity with an increased serum creatinine level (>1.21 mg/dL) was independently associated with heart failure events (HR 1.937, 95% CI 1.199–3.130). Conclusion: A low plasma XOR activity was associated with malnutrition, renal dysfunction, and aging in AHF. A low XOR activity complicated with renal dysfunction leads to adverse long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is known to be associated with adverse outcomes in cardiovascular intensive care patients, but its mechanisms are unknown. A total of 569 emergency department patients were prospectively analyzed and assigned to intensive care (ICU group, n = 431) or other departments (n = 138). Uric acid (UA) levels were significantly higher in the intensive care patients (6.3 [5.1-7.6] mg/dl vs. 5.8 [4.6-6.8] mg/dL). The plasma xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activity in the ICU group (68.3 [21.2-359.5] pmol/h/mL) was also significantly higher than that in other departments (37.2 [15.1-93.6] pmol/h/mL). Intensive care patients were divided into three groups according to plasma XOR quartiles (Q1, low-XOR, Q2/Q3, normal-XOR, and Q4, high-XOR group). A multivariate logistic regression model showed that lactate (per 1.0 mmol/L increase, OR 1.326; 95%, CI 1.166-1.508, p < 0.001) and the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score (per 1.0 point increase, OR 1.095, 95% CI 1.034-1.160, p = 0.002) were independently associated with the high-XOR group. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in the high-XOR group (n = 28, 26.2%) than in the normal- (n = 11, 5.1%) and low- (n = 9, 8.3%) XOR groups. The high-XOR group (vs. normal-XOR group) was independently associated with the in-hospital mortality (OR 2.934; 95% CI 1.170-7.358; p = 0.022). Serum UA levels and plasma XOR activity were high in patients admitted to intensive care. The enhanced XOR activity may be one of the mechanisms under which hyperuricemia was associated with adverse outcomes in patients requiring cardiovascular intensive care.

Abstract
The mechanisms of urgently presenting acute heart failure (AHF) are not clear. We evaluated the serum catecholamine values of AHF patients immediately after admission. A total of 1,475 AHF patients were screened, and 484 who were admitted from their homes and in whom serum catecholamine could be evaluated immediately after admission were analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups according to the time interval from the onset of symptoms to admission (OA): < 3 hours (early-OA group; n = 283), 3-24 hours (middle-OA group; n = 142), and ≥24 hours (late-OA group; n = 59). In the early-OA group, the systolic blood pressure (SBP) was significantly higher, orthopnea was more frequent, the pH value was significantly decreased, and the use of noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation was required significantly more often than in the other groups. The serum noradrenaline level was significantly increased in the early-OA group (1.96 [1.02-3.60] ng/mL) than in the middle-OA (1.49 [0.73-3.41] ng/mL) and late-OA (1.40 [0.91-2.42] ng/mL) groups, and the adrenaline level was significantly increased in the early-OA group (0.36 [0.13-1.17] ng/mL) than in the late-OA (0.22 [0.09-0.52] ng/mL) group. A multivariate logistic regression model indicated the early-OA group was independently associated with the SBP > 140 mmHg (odds ratio [OR]: 2.219, 95% CI: 1.375-3.581), midnight/early morning admission (OR: 3.158, 95% CI: 2.048-4.868), and high serum catecholamine value (adrenaline > 0.96 ng/mL, noradrenaline > 3.39 ng/mL, and dopamine > 0.21 ng/mL) (OR 2.091, 95% CI: 1.161-3.767). In conclusion, urgently presented AHF might be induced by an endogenous catecholamine surge, which causes an excessive rise in blood pressure leading to increased after-overload and volume-shift lung congestion.

Abstract
Low triiodothyronine (T3) syndrome has recently been evaluated as a prognostic marker of acute heart failure (AHF). However, in which cases low T3 syndrome typically leads to adverse outcomes remain unclear. Of 1,432 AHF patients screened, 1,190 were enrolled. Euthyroidism was present in 956 patients (80.3%), who were divided into 2 groups: the normal group (n = 445, FT3 ≥1.88 µIU/L) and low-FT3 group (n = 511, FT3 <1.88 µIU/L). The survival rates and event-free rates within 365 days were significantly lower in the low-FT3 group than in the normal group. A multivariate Cox regression model showed that the low-FT3 group was an independent predictor of 365-day mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 1.429, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.013 to 2.015) and HF events (HR 1.349, 95% CI 1.047 to 1.739). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age (per 10-year old increase, odds ratio [OR]: 1.186, 95% CI: 1.046 to 1.345) and prognostic nutritional index (PNI; per 1-point increase, OR: 1.067, 95% CI: 1.046 to 1.089) were independently associated with the low-FT3 group. The prognosis in patients with a low PNI and over 75 years old, including all-cause death within 365 days, was significantly poorer in the low-FT3 group than in the normal group. In conclusion, adverse outcomes were predicted by the presence of low T3. AHF patients with low T3 syndrome are strongly associated with aging and malnutrition. Low T3 syndrome complicated with older age and malnutrition is likely to lead to adverse outcomes in patients with AHF.

Abstract
Background:
The length of hospital stay (LOHS) after acute heart failure (AHF) is too long in Japan. The clinical approach to shortening LOHS is an urgent issue in the aging Japanese society. Methods and Results:
Of 1,473 AHF patients screened, 596 patients >75 years old were enrolled. They were divided by LOHS: <28 days (<28-day group, n=316) and ≥28 days (≥28-day group, n=280). Systolic blood pressure and serum hemoglobin were significantly higher and serum blood urea nitrogen and creatinine significantly lower in the <28-day group than in the ≥28-day group. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) use was significantly more frequent in the <28-day group than in the ≥28-day group. Furthermore, newly initiated tolvaptan in <12 h was significantly more frequent in the <28-day group than in the ≥28-day group (P=0.004). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, newly initiated tolvaptan in <12 h (OR, 2.574; 95% CI: 1.146–5.780, P=0.022) and NPPV use (OR, 1.817; 95% CI: 1.254–2.634, P=0.002) were independently associated with the <28-day group. The same result was found after propensity score matching for LOHS. Conclusions:
LOHS was prolonged in patients with severe HF but could be shortened by early tolvaptan treatment.

Abstract
Background:
The mechanisms of the increased plasma xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) activity in outpatients with cardiovascular disease were unclear. Methods and Results:
A total of 372 outpatients were screened, and 301 outpatients with cardiovascular disease were prospectively analyzed. Blood samples were collected from patients who visited a daily cardiovascular outpatient clinic. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) were significantly more likely to be classified into the high-XOR group (≥100 pg/h/mL; 50%) than the low-XOR group (<100 pmol/h/mL; 28.7%). On multivariate logistic regression analysis, DM (OR, 2.683; 95% CI: 1.441–4.996) was independently associated with high plasma XOR activity in all cohorts. In the diabetic cardiovascular disease patients (n=100), median body mass index (BMI) in the high-XOR group (28.0 kg/m2; IQR, 25.2–29.4 kg/m2, n=32) was significantly higher than in the low-XOR group (23.6 kg/m2; IQR, 21.2–25.7 kg/m2, n=68), and BMI was independently associated with high plasma XOR activity (OR, 1.340; 95% CI: 1.149–1.540). Plasma hydrogen peroxide was significantly higher in DM patients with high plasma XOR activity and obesity (>22 kg/m2) than in other patients. Conclusions:
DM with obesity is one of the mechanisms of XOR enhancement in cardiovascular disease. The increase of XOR is a possible pathway for the production of reactive oxygen species in obese cardiovascular disease patients with DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasma volume status (PVS) has been evaluated recently as a prognostic marker of acute heart failure (AHF). However, whether evaluating PVS alone is sufficient remains unclear. METHODS Of 675 patients with AHF screened, 601 were enrolled. The PVS, prognostic nutritional index (PNI) (lower = worse), and Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score (higher = worse) were evaluated. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to PVS value (low- or high-PVS group) and were further subdivided into 4 groups (low- or high-PVS/CONUT group and low- or high-PVS/PNI group). RESULTS A Kaplan-Meier curve showed a significantly lower survival rate in the high-PVS group than in the low-PVS group, the high-PVS/high-CONUT group than in the high-PVS/low-CONUT group, and the high-PVS/low-PNI group than in the high-PVS/high-PNI group. A multivariate Cox regression model showed that high PVS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.642; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.049-2.570) and high PVS/high CONUT (HR, 2.076; 95% CI, 1.147-3.757) and high PVS/low PNI (HR, 2.094; 95% CI, 1.166-3.761) were independent predictors of 365-day mortality. CONCLUSIONS An adverse outcome was predicted by the evaluation of PVS; furthermore, a malnutrition status with a high PVS leads to an adverse outcome. The simultaneous evaluation of nutrition status and PVS is essential to predict an AHF outcome.

Abstract
Objective The aim of present study was to elucidate the gender differences in social determinants among patients with acute heart failure (AHF). Methods A total of 1,048 AHF patients were enrolled, and the 508 AHF patients who were ≥75 years old and the 540 patients who were <75 years old were evaluated as the elderly and non-elderly cohorts, respectively. Participants who met one of the three marital status-, offspring-, and living status-related criteria were considered socially vulnerable, and subjects were thus classified into socially vulnerable and non-socially vulnerable groups by gender in both the non-elderly and elderly cohorts. Social vulnerability was significantly more common in the elderly cohort (n=246, 48.4%) than in the non-elderly cohort (n=197, 36.5%) and significantly more common in the elderly women (n=157, 69.4%) than in the elderly men (n=89, 31.5%). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the survival rate of the socially vulnerable group was significantly poorer than that of the non-socially vulnerable group in the elderly male cohort (p=0.010). Social vulnerability was an independent predictor of the 1,000-day mortality in the elderly male cohort (hazard ratio: 1.942, 95% confidence interval: 1.102-3.422) but not in the elderly female cohort according to a multivariate analysis. Conclusion Social vulnerability was shown to be more common in elderly female AHF patients than in elderly men, although it was associated with a poor prognosis in elderly men. Reinforcing the social structure of elderly male AHF patients might help improve their prognosis.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to elucidate trends in managing acute heart failure (AHF) patients who require intensive care over a 19-year period. We evaluated a total of 1,475 AHF patients, comparing patient backgrounds, in-hospital management, and prognosis according to the year of admission (2000s group, n = 608 and 2010s group, n = 867). A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age (≥75 years; odds ratio [OR] 1.334, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.048 to 1.700), systolic blood pressure (<100 mm Hg; OR 1.934, 95% CI 1.170 to 3.198), left ventricular ejection fraction (>40%; OR 1.441, 95% CI 1.125 to 1.847), and prognostic nutritional index (severe; OR 1.865, 95% CI 1.224 to 2.841) were independently associated with admission in the 2010s group. The use of intra-aortic balloon pumping and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation increased significantly, whereas the need for endotracheal intubation and administration of furosemide and carperitide in the 2010s group decreased significantly compared with the 2000s group. Tolvaptan therapy was introduced from 2010. The duration of intensive care unit admission and total hospitalization in the 2010s group (4 [3 to 6] and 23 [15 to 40] days, respectively) were significantly shorter than in the 2000s group (5 [4 to 8] and 30 [20 to 54] days, respectively). A Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed the survival rate of the 2010s group was significantly poorer compared with the 2000s group (hazards ratio 1.435, 95% CI 1.113 to 1.851). After propensity score matching, the 365-day mortality rates of the 2 groups did not significantly differ. In conclusion, the condition of AHF patients became more critical year by year, leading to poorer long-term prognosis despite improved treatment strategy. These findings will be useful for managing AHF in the next pandemic era.

Abstract
Patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during winter have worse outcomes; however, mechanisms driving this trend are unclear. We examined coronary culprit lesion morphologies using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Features and outcomes were retrospectively compared between patients admitted with ACS in winter (W-ACS; n = 390) and in other seasons (O-ACS; n = 1,027). Angiography and OCT results were analyzed in patients who underwent OCT examination (173 patients in W-ACS and 450 in O-ACS). On initial angiography, minimum lumen diameter was smaller (median; 0.12 mm vs 0.25 mm, p = 0.021) and Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade was worse (Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction 0/1; 57% vs 44%, p = 0.005) in W-ACS. OCT performed before coronary interventions or just after intracoronary thrombectomy showed that plaque rupture (56% vs 46%) and calcified nodules (8% vs 5%) were more prevalent, and plaque erosion (37% vs 49%) was less prevalent in W-ACS (p = 0.039 for all 3 variables). At 2-year follow-up for all admitted ACS patients, Kaplan-Meier estimates showed higher cardiac mortality in W-ACS (11.8% vs 8.3%, p = 0.043). Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that patients in W-ACS group had a 1.5-fold increased risk of cardiac death within 2 years after adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors (hazard ratio, 1.54 [95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 2.23]; p = 0.024). In conclusion, patients diagnosed with ACS during winter had worse angiographic results and OCT revealed less plaque erosion (more plaque rupture or calcified nodules) at the culprit lesions, which may be partly associated with worse cardiac mortality within 2 years.

Abstract
Background The relationship between the serum level of uric acid (UA) and the acute kidney injury on admission in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) remain unclear. Methods and results A total of 1326 AHF patients were screened, and data for 1047 patients who were admitted to the intensive-care unit were analyzed. The patients were assigned to a low-UA group (UA ≤ 7.0 mg/dl, n = 569) or a high-UA group (UA > 7.0 mg/dl, n = 478) according to their UA level at admission. Acute kidney injury (AKI) at admission was defined based on the ratio of the serum creatinine value recorded on admission to the baseline creatinine value: no-AKI (n = 736) or AKI (n = 311). The patients were therefore assigned to four groups: low-UA/no-AKI (n = 428), high-UA/no-AKI (n = 308), low-UA/AKI (n = 141) and high-UA/AKI (n = 170). The high-UA patients were significantly more frequent in the AKI group than in the non-AKI group among all patients and the non-chronic kidney injury (CKD) cohort. A Kaplan-Meier curve showed a significantly lower 365-day survival rate in the high-UA/AKI group than in the other groups. The multivariate Cox regression model identified only high-UA/AKI as an independent predictor of 365-day mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.511, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.671–3.772 in all AHF patients, HR: 1.884, 95% CI 1.022–3.473 in non-CKD patients and HR: 3.546, 95% CI 2.136–5.884 in CKD patients). Conclusion An elevated serum UA level complicated with AKI was an independent predictor of mortality in patients with severely decompensated AHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: In 2013, the ASCO/CAP consensus panel published updated guidelines for HER2 testing in breast cancer that modified the definition of HER2 amplification by in situ hybridization (ISH), creating five new prognostic categories (group 1: classic amplified, group 2: monosomy, group 3: co-amplified (polysomy), group 4: equivocal, and group 5: classic non-amplified). Patients determined to be ISH amplified, were considered eligible for HER2-directed therapy. Concern over whether patients from non-classic groups 2-4 would benefit from treatment has led to the recent publication of the 2018 HER2 focused update. This update has modified the criteria for interpreting these ISH categories, recommending that the final diagnosis take into consideration a combination of HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) and ISH results. With increased emphasis on the HER2 protein assessment, it has prompted us to quantitatively examine HER2 protein expression in the ISH categories, using two different novel technologies. Materials & Methods: A cohort of 170 cases (URMC) and 102 cases (PSHMC) of invasive breast cancers, which had previously undergone HER2 IHC and ISH testing, were selected for this study. Cases were sorted and categorized into the HER2 ISH categories defined by ASCO/CAP. HER2 protein expression was quantitatively measured in the URMC and PSHMC cohorts using a novel immunodetection methodology (streptavidin-coated Phosphor-Integrated Dot (PID) fluorescent nanoparticles), and a novel dual-antibody, proximity-binding immunoassay (HERmark® Breast Cancer Assay, Monogram Biosciences, South San Francisco, California), respectively. HER2 protein expression was compared to the HER2 FISH and IHC results by ASCO/CAP category. Results: Cases in group 1 had a significantly (p < 0.01) higher average PID/cell and HERmark compared to cases in groups 2-5 (Table 1). Cases in groups 2-4 showed lower quantitative levels of HER2 protein expression, similar to the classic non-amplified cases (group 5). Group 1 was further divided into three subgroups (Table 2): Group A - ISH high-level amplified (ratio > 2, HER2 > 6, CEP17 < 2.7), Group B - amplified with elevated CEP17 (ratio > 2, CEP17 > 2.7), and Group C - low-level amplified (ratio > 2, HER2 > 4 and < 6). Group A and B had a significantly (p < 0.01) higher average PID/cell and HERmark compared to Group C. Group C was more comparable to cases in groups 2-5 (Table 1). Conclusion: Our results suggest that quantitative assessment of HER2 protein expression may help to further classify cases for HER2 status for targeted therapy, supporting the 2018 ASCO/CAP recommendation that non-classic ISH results might be resolved by evaluating protein expression. Follow up studies with a larger patient cohort and dual quantitative assessment are warranted.

Abstract
Objectives: We aimed to examine the relations of very high levels of serum uric acid (sUA) with features of culprit lesion plaque morphology determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and adverse clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: We retrospectively compared ACS patients according to sUA levels of > 8.0 mg/dL (n = 169), 7.1–8.0 mg/dL (n = 163), 6.1–7.0 mg/dL (n = 259), and ≤6.0 mg/dL (n = 717). Angiography and OCT findings were analyzed in patients with preintervention OCT and the 4 sUA groups (> 8.0 mg/dL, n = 61; 7.1–8.0 mg/dL, n = 72; 6.1–7.0 mg/dL, n = 131; and ≤6.0 mg/dL, n = 348) were compared. Results: Cardiogenic shock was more prevalent in ACS patients with sUA > 8.0 mg/dL (22% vs. 19% vs. 10% vs. 6%, p < 0.001). Plaque rupture was observed more prevalently by OCT in patients with sUA > 8.0 mg/dL (67% vs. 47% vs. 56% vs. 45%, p = 0.027). At the 2-year follow-up, Kaplan-Meier estimates showed higher cardiac mortality in patients with sUA > 8.0 mg/dL (25% vs. 12% vs. 5% vs. 5%, p < 0.001). After adjusting for traditional cardiovascular risk factors and creatinine levels, patients with sUA > 8.0 mg/dL showed a 4.5-fold increased risk in 2-year cardiac death by multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis (hazard ratio 4.54, 95% confidence interval 2.98–6.91; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Very high sUA levels like > 8.0 mg/dL are the primary predictor of 2-year cardiac mortality and could partly be caused by adverse effects of accumulated sUA on plaque morphology in patients with ACS.

Abstract
Background: The features of sleep-associated acute heart failure (AHF) patients admitted at midnight or early morning (M/E) are unclear. Methods and Results: Of 1,268 AHF patients screened, 932 were analyzed, and divided into 2 groups by admission time (M/E group, 23:00-06:59, n=399; daytime group, 07:00-22:59, n=533). Those in the M/E group were further divided by the presence of a prodrome: with (n=176; prodrome group) or without (n=223; sudden onset group). The median time from symptom onset to hospitalization was significantly shorter in the M/E group (98 min; range, 65-170 min) than in the daytime group (123 min; range, 68-246 min). The 365-day HF event rate in the M/E group was significantly lower than that of the daytime group. On multivariate logistic regression modeling the M/E group was independently associated with a better outcome than the daytime group (OR, 0.673; 95% CI: 0.500-0.905). In the M/E group, the 365-day HF event rate was significantly lower in the prodrome group than in the sudden onset group. On multivariate logistic regression modeling, inclusion in the prodrome group was independently associated with a better outcome (OR, 0.544; 95% CI: 0.338-0.877). Conclusions: AHF patients admitted during sleeping hours were not sicker than those admitted during the daytime. The absence of a prodrome, however, might be associated with future repeated HF events.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) is a member of a family of transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptors that play an important role in regulated normal cell growth and differentiation. The over-expression of HER2 in a subset of 15-20% of invasive breast cancers has an important bearing on prognosis, as HER2-positive tumors are associated with an aggressive clinical course and poor outcome. Targeting HER2-overexpression has been shown to be a remarkably effective therapeutic modality; however testing of tumor samples to assess the HER2 status of the patient's breast cancer is required. Clinical assays to assess the HER2 status in patients being considered for targeted therapy include immunohistochemistry (IHC), which detects protein over-expression, or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), which detects gene amplification. Both the IHC and FISH methodologies have limitations. Given that the target of the currently approved drugs is the receptor protein, novel detections systems that could more accurately and quantitatively detect HER2 protein in clinical samples over a broad dynamic range would be advantageous and may be clinically helpful.
Material and Methods: A novel detection technology using streptavidin-coated Phosphor Integrated Dot fluorescent nanoparticles (PID) has been developed that can be visualized by fluorescence microscopy and used for quantitative immunofluorescence detection of protein in clinical samples using computer assisted image analysis. In the current study, PID- nanoparticles were used to analyze HER2 protein expression in breast cancer cell lines and 120 well characterized breast cancer samples. These results have been compared with HER2 IHC and HER2 FISH analysis.
Results: The expression levels of HER2 protein from 8 breast cancer cell lines was evaluated by antibody-binding capacity with FACS analysis. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded cell pellets for these cell lines were prepared and used for quantitative HER2 analysis by PID. The PID score/cell for each of these cell lines showed a strong linear correlation with antibody-binding capacity sites/cell by FACS analysis (R2 = 0.94). For the 120 breast cancer samples, PID score/cell was measured and compared against HER2 IHC membrane intensity measure by image analysis (Aperio) and HER2 FISH results. The HER2 PID score/cell showed a correlation coefficient of R2=0.72 versus the average HER2 copy number per cell by FISH, compared with a correlation coefficient of R2=0.41 for HER2 IHC membrane intensity measured by Aperio. For the HER2/CEP17 ratio, the correlation coefficient for the PID score/cell was R2=0.79 compared with a correlation coefficient of R2=0.32 for the HER2 IHC membrane intensity.
Conclusions: PID-nanoparticles demonstrate great potential for the quantitative measurement of protein of clinical interest in routine clinical samples with morphologic confirmation of the tissue being studied. Further studies looking for PID-score thresholds for HER2 gene amplification and correlations with clinical outcome data are warranted and ongoing.

Abstract
6028 Background: Lymph node stage is an important prognostic factor in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). We previously reported the clinical usefulness of sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy diagnosed by concurrently performing histological examination using semiserial sections and genetic analysis by quantitative RT-PCR. However, these methods took about 3 hours. In this study, we have attempted to develop a more efficient method for intraoperative genetic detection of lymph node metastasis in SCCHN. Methods: A total of 291 lymph nodes (59 patients) resected on SLN biopsy for cN0 SCCHN or neck dissection for cN1/2 SCCHN were diagnosed by one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) method using GD-100. The primary site was tongue, gingiva, oral floor, buccal mucosa, and pharynx in 44% (26), 37% (22), 10% (6), 5% (3), and 3% (2), respectively. OSNA consists of a short homogenization step followed by amplification of cytokeratin 19 (CK19) mRNA directly from the lysate. It is characterized by the use of 4 different primers specifically designed to recognize 6 distinct regions, so the CK19 primers do not amplify the known CK19 pseudogenes. The reaction process proceeds at a constant temperature (65°C) during strand displacement reaction. Amplification and detection of CK19 mRNA can be completed in a single step. Each lymph node was divided into two halves to diagnose metastasis. An alternative half was used for the OSNA assay with cytokeratin 19 (CK19) mRNA, and the remaining block was subjected to semiserial sectioning, sliced at 200-μm intervals and then examined by H&E and cytokeratin AE1/AE3 immunohistochemical staining. Results: Fifty-four of 291 lymph nodes were pathologically metastasis-positive. The optimal cut-off for the copy number of CK19 mRNA in assessing lymph node metastasis was 300 copies/μl, which had the highest diagnostic accuracy. The sensitivity and specificity of OSNA assay with CK19 mRNA was 92.6% (50/54) and 97% (230/237), respectively. An overall concordance rate between the OSNA assay and histopathology was 96.2%. The OSNA assay could be completed within 30 minutes. Conclusions: The OSNA assay showing high sensitivity and specificity can be used as a novel genetic detection tool of lymph node metastasis in SCCHN patients. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
In this prospective randomized study, women with idiopathic karyotypically normal premature ovarian failure (POF) were treated with gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist and gonadotrophins with and without the addition of corticosteroids in an attempt to restore ovarian function. The study comprised 58 women with idiopathic POF randomly allocated to either GnRH agonists (GnRHa) plus gonadotrophin therapy with the addition of corticosteroids (29 patients) or GnRHa plus gonadotrophin therapy with placebo (29 patients). Ovulation occurred in six cases (20.7%) in the dexamethasone group versus three cases (10.3%) in the placebo group. There were two singleton pregnancies in the dexamethasone group. There were no reported complications from the use of dexamethasone apart from a sense of sleepiness and fatigue. The combination of corticosteroids with pituitary suppression followed by ovarian stimulation with gonadotrophin appeared to be beneficial in restoring ovarian function in patients with idiopathic POF and normal karyotype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the maternal and perinatal outcome of pregnancies complicated by cardiac disease in a tertiary care center in Egypt. METHODS During a 1-year period, a total of 86 pregnant women with cardiac disease were admitted. Maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality were calculated and compared with a control group. RESULTS Seventy-seven (89.5%) patients were due to rheumatic affection, and 60 patients were classified as NYHA classes I-II. There was one case of maternal mortality (1.16%), and 10 other cases developed life-threatening complications. Two perinatal mortalities (2.32%) occurred in this series. Birth weight of babies born to mothers with functional classes III and IV were significantly lower than those of functional classes I-II and control group. CONCLUSION Rheumatic heart disease with pregnancy is still predominant in Egypt. Maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality are strongly correlated to maternal cardiac functional classification.

Abstract
In order to study GH cell differentiation, we used the clonal cell lines called MtT/E and MtT/S cells, which were derived from a rat mammotrophic pituitary tumor. Although MtT/E cells are non-hormone-producing ones, Pit-1 protein is present in their nuclei, which suggests that MtT/E cells are progenitor cells of the Pit-1 cell lineage and have the potential to differentiate into hormone-producing cells. On the other hand, MtT/S cells produce GH; however, the responsiveness to GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) is weak and only a small number of secretory granules are present in their cytoplasm, which suggests that MtT/S cells are premature GH cells. In order to differentiate into GH cells from MtT/E cells as a progenitor cell, we examined several differentiation factors and found that retinoic acid (RA) induced the differentiation of MtT/E cells into GH-producing cells. RA-induced GH cells partially matured with the glucocorticoid treatment; however, the responsiveness to GHRH on GH secretion was incomplete. In order to elucidate the mechanism underlying full differentiation of GH cells, we used MtT/S cells. We treated MtT/S cells with glucocorticoid and found that they differentiated into mature GH cells with many secretory granules in their cytoplasm and they responded well to GHRH. These results suggested that MtT/E and MtT/S cells are progenitor or premature GH cells, and show different responses to differentiation factors. Our data also suggested that GH cells differentiate from their progenitor cells through multistep processes.

Abstract
The authors describe a patient with chronic sarcoid myopathy. Except for the presence of left posterior synechia, no other organ involvement was observed. Gallium-67 ((67)Ga) scintigraphy showed many intense nodular uptake areas in both the upper and lower extremities. Treatment with oral prednisolone 30 mg/day resulted in a marked improvement on (67)Ga scintigraphy. This case suggests that (67)Ga scintigraphy is useful for the differential diagnosis of systemic myopathies and also for monitoring the effect of glucocorticoid treatment.

Abstract
Brassinazole, a synthetic chemical developed in our laboratory, is a triazole-type brassinosteroid biosynthesis inhibitor that induces dwarfism in various plant species. The target sites of brassinazole were investigated by chemical analyses of endogenous brassinosteroids (BRs) in brassinazole-treated Catharanthus roseus cells. The levels of castasterone and brassinolide in brassinazole-treated plant cells were less than 6% of the levels in untreated cells. In contrast, campestanol and 6-oxocampestanol levels were increased, and levels of BR intermediates with hydroxy groups on the side chains were reduced, suggesting that brassinazole treatment reduced BR levels by inhibiting the hydroxylation of the C-22 position. DWF4, which is an Arabidopsis thaliana cytochrome P450 isolated as a putative steroid 22-hydroxylase, was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the binding affinity of brassinazole and its derivatives to the recombinant DWF4 were analyzed. Among several triazole derivatives, brassinazole had both the highest binding affinity to DWF4 and the highest growth inhibitory activity. The binding affinity and the activity for inhibiting hypocotyl growth were well correlated among the derivatives. In brassinazole-treated A. thaliana, the CPD gene involved in BR biosynthesis was induced within 3 h, most likely because of feedback activation caused by the reduced levels of active BRs. These results indicate that brassinazole inhibits the hydroxylation of the C-22 position of the side chain in BRs by direct binding to DWF4 and that DWF4 catalyzes this hydroxylation reaction.

Abstract
The rat pituitary cell line, MtT/SM, has the characteristics of somatomammotrophs. The cells secrete both prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH). We examined the effects of cytokines such as leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF), interleukin 6 (IL-6), oncostatin M and interleukin 11 on the secretion of these hormones by the cells. These cytokines stimulate proliferation of the cells and inhibit the secretion of PRL by 70-80% and that of GH by 50%. They induce tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT3 in the cells. The cells containing PRL or GH decreased at 48 h after treatment of the cells with LIF or IL-6. These results suggest that the LIF/IL-6 family of cytokines inhibits the functions of mammotrophs and somatotrophs in the pituitary gland.

Metabolism of some amino acids (citrulline, arginine, ornithine and threonine) inhibited in the B6-deficient rats was normalized during exercise. Exercise was also effective in storing vitamin B6 in the body by lowering excretion of vitamin B6, when intake of vitamin B6 was restricted. Aspartatae aminotransferase activity was higher in the red portion of the gastrocnemius muscle than that of the white one, whereas glycogen phosphorylase activity was vice versa and furthermore glycogen content in the white portion was very low in the vitamin B6-deficient rat. From the data obtained, it has been suggested that the red and white portions of the gastrocnemius muscle seemed to be more important in metabolizing amino acids and hydrolyze glycogen, respectively.

Abstract
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) induced by brain ischemia may play an important role in neuroprotection from neuronal degeneration. In this study, we examined the cerebral blood flow (CBF) threshold to produce regional differences in HSP72 induction after transient forebrain ischemia in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Female SHRs were subjected to 20 min of cerebral ischemia induced by bilateral carotid artery occlusion. The CBF was measured by laser Doppler flowmetry. At forty-eight hours after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion, the rats were decapitated and the brains were removed. Specific areas (hippocampal CA1, CA2-3, dentate gyrus, dorsolateral and ventromedial striatum, and parietal cortex) were thereafter dissected from the brain. The amounts of HSP72 in these samples were determined using Western blot analysis. In the hippocampus, HSP72 was induced when the CBF decreased to less than 18-25% of the resting level. The mean values of HSP72 produced in the CA1 area, CA2-3 area, and the dentate gyrus following ischemia and reperfusion treatment were 4.44 +/- 1.43 (+/-SD) ng/microg protein, 3.51 +/- 0.72 ng/microg protein and 3.77 +/- 1.05 ng/microg protein, respectively. In the parietal cortex, the amount of HSP72 induction was less pronounced (2.55 +/- 0.40 ng/microg protein), while HSP72 was hardly detected at all in the striatum, even under conditions of very severe CBF reduction and reperfusion. We demonstrated the existence of both a CBF threshold (i.e., approximately 20% of the resting level) for HSP72 induction and regional heterogeneity for the induction of HSP72 protein.

Abstract
In order to analyze the relationship between cell proliferation and mammotroph differentiation, we studied a somatotrophic cell line, MtT/S. MtT/S cell is known to differentiate into PRL-producing cells in response to stimulation with insulin or insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Double immunostaining for bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), which labels proliferating cells, and for GH or PRL showed that most BrdU-labeled cells were GH-immunopositive, whereas considerably few PRL-positive cells were labeled with BrdU. This was confirmed by immunostaining of proliferating cells with antibody to proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Furthermore, flow-cytometry analysis indicated that most of the PRL-producing cells were in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. In order to determine whether cell cycle changes are required for transdifferentiation of PRL-producing cells, MtT/S cells were cultivated in serum restricted medium for 7 days to reduce their mitotic activity and then treated with insulin and epidermal growth factor (EGF). Under these conditions, the cell cycle of MtT/S cells was significantly delayed, but the percentage of PRL-producing cells induced was almost identical to that under control conditions, showing that mitosis is not required for PRL- producing cell differentiation. We also labeled MtT/S cells with BrdU for 24 h during PRL-producing cell induction by insulin and EGF, and as a result BrdU-labeled proliferative cells were specifically absent from PRL-producing cell populations. These data, taken as whole, suggest that PRL cells differentiated from G0/G1 arrested somatotrophs and the PRL cells which appeared had their cell proliferation activity significantly declined. In conclusion, this is the first report showing the relationship cell between proliferation and differentiation of PRL cells.

Abstract
Adenosine has been reported to have beneficial effects against ischemic brain damage, although the mechanisms are not fully clarified. To examine the role of adenosine on the ischemia-evoked release of neurotransmitters, we applied a highly selective agonist for adenosine A1 receptor, 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA), into the ischemic brain using in vivo brain dialysis, which directly delivered the agonist to the local brain area. Concentrations of extracellular amino acids (glutamate, aspartate, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and taurine) and regional blood flow in the striatum of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) were monitored during cerebral ischemia elicited by bilateral carotid artery occlusion for 40 min and recirculation. Striatal blood flow and basal levels of amino acids were not affected by direct perfusion of CCPA (10 microM or 100 microM). During ischemia, concentrations of glutamate, aspartate, GABA and taurine increased up to 37-, 30-, 96- and 31-fold, respectively, when vehicle alone was administered. Administration of CCPA did not affect the changes in regional blood flow during ischemia and reperfusion. Perfusion of CCPA (100 microM), however, significantly attenuated the ischemia-evoked release of aspartate (by 70%) and glutamate (by 73%). The ischemia-induced increase of GABA tended to be decreased by CCPA, although it was not statistically significant. In contrast, both low and high concentrations of CCPA had little effect on the release of taurine during ischemia. These results suggest that stimulation of adenosine A1 receptors selectively attenuated the ischemia-evoked release of excitatory amino acids, but not of inhibitory amino acids without affecting blood flow. This modulation of the release of amino acids by adenosine A1 receptor agonists may play a protective role against ischemic neuronal damage.

Abstract
A 78-year-old man developed herpes zoster virus (HZV) encephalitis. Initially, treatment with aciclovir (750 mg per day) improved CSF cell count and protein level. During the treatment, however, encephalitis in the patient deteriorated in spite of the treatment with aciclovir, suggesting that HZV in the patient had become resistant to aciclovir. Subsequent treatment with vidarabine (600 mg per day, for 15 days) resulted in dramatic improvement in CSF pleocytosis. About two months after the discontinuation of vidarabine, the CSF cell count was normal. The patient became alert gradually, but his amnestic syndrome remained unchanged. Vidarabine may be recommended in the treatment of HZV encephalitis when aciclovir is not effective.
