Abstract
BACKGROUND Although major guidelines recommend the routine introduction of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and beta-blockers for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), evidence regarding the target blood pressure (BP) or pulse rate (PR) at hospital discharge is sparse. This retrospective study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI between those with good BP and PR control and those with poor BP or PR control. METHODS We included 748 patients with STEMI who received both ACE inhibitors/ARBs and beta-blockers at hospital discharge, and divided them into a good control group (systolic BP ≤140 mmHg and PR ≤80 bpm, n = 564) and a poor control group (systolic BP >140 mmHg or PR >80 bpm, n = 184). The primary endpoint was major cardiovascular events (MACE) defined as the composite of all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and re-admission for heart failure. RESULTS During the median follow-up duration of 568 days, a total of 119 MACE were observed. The Kaplan-Meier curves showed that MACE were more frequently observed in the poor control group (p = 0.009). In the multivariate Cox hazard analysis, the good control group was inversely associated with MACE (HR 0.656, 95 % CI: 0.444-0.968, p = 0.034) after controlling for multiple confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS The good control of systolic BP and PR at discharge was inversely associated with long-term adverse events in STEMI patients treated with both ACE inhibitors/ARBs and beta blockers. This study suggests the importance of titration of ACE inhibitors/ARBs and beta-blockers for better clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appropriate re-evaluation after neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) is important for optimal treatment selection. Nonetheless, determining the operative eligibility of patients with a modest radiologic response remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of biologic factors for patients showing a modest radiologic response to NAT and investigate the tumor markers (TMs), CA19-9 alone, DUPAN-II alone, and their combination, to create an index that combines these sialyl-Lewis antigen-related TMs associated with treatment outcomes. METHODS This study enrolled patients deemed to have a "stable disease" by RECIST classification with slight progression (tumor size increase rate, ≤20%) as their radiologic response after NAT. A sialyl-Lewis-related index (sLe index), calculated by adding one fourth of the serum DUPAN-II value to the CA19-9 value, was created. The prognostic significances of CA19-9, DUPAN-II, and the sLe index were assessed in relation to postoperative outcomes. RESULTS An sLe index lower than the cutoff value (45.25) was significantly associated with favorable disease-free survival. Moreover, the post-NAT sLe index had a higher area under the curve value for recurrence within 24 months than the post-NAT levels of CA19-9 or DUPAN-II alone. Multivariable analysis showed that a post-NAT sLe index higher than 45.25 was the single independent predictive factor for recurrence within 24 months. CONCLUSIONS Additional evaluation of biologic factors can potentially enhance patient selection, particularly for patients showing a limited radiologic response to NAT. The authors' index is a simple indicator for the biologic evaluation of multiple combined sialyl-Lewis antigen-related TMs and may offer a better predictive significance.

Abstract
Objective Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) often have peripheral artery disease (PAD). It is well known that the long-term clinical outcomes of AMI are worse in patients with a low ankle-brachial index (ABI) than in patients with a preserved ABI. Unlike ABI, the association between the inter-arm blood pressure difference (IABPD) and clinical outcomes in patients with AMI has not yet been established. This retrospective study examined whether or not the IABPD is associated with long-term clinical outcomes in patients with AMI. Methods We included 979 patients with AMI and divided them into a high-IABPD group (IABPD ≥10 mmHg, n=31) and a low-IABPD group (IABPD <10 mmHg, n=948) according to the IABPD measured during hospitalization for AMI. The primary endpoint was the all-cause mortality rate. Results During a median follow-up duration of 694 days (Q1, 296 days; Q3, 1,281 days), 82 all-cause deaths were observed. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that all-cause death was more frequently observed in the high-IABPD group than in the low-IABPD group (p<0.001). A multivariate Cox hazard analysis revealed that a high IABPD was significantly associated with all-cause death (hazard ratio 2.061, 95% confidence interval 1.012-4.197, p=0.046) after controlling for multiple confounding factors. Conclusion A high IABPD was significantly associated with long-term all-cause mortality in patients with AMI. Our results suggest the usefulness of the IABPD as a prognostic marker for patients with AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), invasion of connective tissues surrounding major arteries is a crucial prognostic factor after radical resection. However, why the connective tissues invasion is associated with poor prognosis is not well understood. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2018 to 2020, 25 patients receiving radical surgery for PDAC in our institute were enrolled. HyperEye Medical System (HEMS) was used to examine lymphatic flow from the connective tissues surrounding SMA and SpA and which lymph nodes ICG accumulated in was examined. RESULTS HEMS imaging revealed ICG was transported down to the paraaortic area of the abdominal aorta along SMA. In pancreatic head cancer, 9 paraaortic lymph nodes among 14 (64.3%) were ICG positive, higher positivity than LN#15 (25.0%) or LN#18 (50.0%), indicating lymphatic flow around the SMA was leading directly to the paraaortic lymph nodes. Similarly, in pancreatic body and tail cancer, the percentage of ICG-positive LN #16a2 was very high, as was that of #8a, although that of #7 was only 42.9%. CONCLUSIONS Our preliminary result indicated that the lymphatic flow along the connective tissues surrounding major arteries could be helpful in understanding metastasis and improving prognosis in BR-A pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and prognostic value of bendopnea in older patients hospitalized for heart failure. METHODS This post hoc analysis was performed using two prospective, multicenter, observational studies: the FRAGILE-HF (main cohort) and SONIC-HF (validation cohort) cohorts. Patients were categorized based on the presence of bendopnea, which was evaluated before discharge. The primary endpoint was 2-year all-cause mortality after discharge. RESULTS Among the 1,243 patients (median age, 81 years; 57.2% male) in the FRAGILE-HF cohort and 225 (median age, 79 years; 58.2% men) in the SONIC-HF cohort, bendopnea was observed in 31 (2.5%) and 10 (4.4%) patients, respectively. Over a 2-year follow-up period, all-cause death occurred in 20.8% and 21.9% of the patients in the FRAGILE-HF and SONIC-HF cohorts, respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival curves demonstrated significantly higher mortality rates in patients with bendopnea than in those without bendopnea in the FRAGILE-HF (log-rank P = 0.006) and SONIC-HF cohorts (log-rank P = 0.014). Cox proportional hazard analysis identified bendopnea as an independent prognostic factor for all-cause mortality in both the FRAGILE-HF (hazard ratio [HR] 2.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.18-3.78, P = 0.012) and SONIC-HF cohorts (HR 4.20, 95% CI 1.63-10.79, P = 0.003), even after adjusting for conventional risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Bendopnea was observed in a relatively small proportion of older patients hospitalized for heart failure before discharge. However, its presence was significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Abstract
AIMS MitraScore is a novel, simple, and manually calculatable risk score developed as a prognostic model for patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) for mitral regurgitation. As its components are considered prognostic in heart failure (HF), we aimed to investigate the usefulness of the MitraScore in HF patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We calculated MitraScore for 1100 elderly patients (>65 years old) hospitalized for HF in the prospective multicentre FRAGILE-HF study and compared its prognostic ability with other simple risk scores. The primary endpoint was all-cause deaths, and the secondary endpoints were the composite of all-cause deaths and HF rehospitalization and cardiovascular deaths. Overall, the mean age of 1100 patients was 80 ± 8 years, and 58% were men. The mean MitraScore was 3.2 ± 1.4, with a median of 3 (interquartile range: 2-4). A total of 326 (29.6%), 571 (51.9%), and 203 (18.5%) patients were classified into low-, moderate-, and high-risk groups based on the MitraScore, respectively. During a follow-up of 2 years, 226 all-cause deaths, 478 composite endpoints, and 183 cardiovascular deaths were observed. MitraScore successfully stratified patients for all endpoints in the Kaplan-Meier analysis (P < 0.001 for all). In multivariate analyses, MitraScore was significantly associated with all endpoints after covariate adjustments [adjusted hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval): 1.22 (1.10-1.36), P < 0.001 for all-cause deaths; adjusted HR 1.17 (1.09-1.26), P < 0.001 for combined endpoints; and adjusted HR 1.24 (1.10-1.39), P < 0.001 for cardiovascular deaths]. The Hosmer-Lemeshow plot showed good calibration for all endpoints. The net reclassification improvement (NRI) analyses revealed that the MitraScore performed significantly better than other manually calculatable risk scores of HF: the GWTG-HF risk score, the BIOSTAT compact model, the AHEAD score, the AHEAD-U score, and the HANBAH score for all-cause and cardiovascular deaths, with respective continuous NRIs of 0.20, 0.22, 0.39, 0.39, and 0.29 for all-cause mortality (all P-values < 0.01) and 0.20, 0.22, 0.42, 0.40, and 0.29 for cardiovascular mortality (all P-values < 0.02). CONCLUSIONS MitraScore developed for patients undergoing TEER also showed strong discriminative power in HF patients. MitraScore was superior to other manually calculable simple risk scores and might be a good choice for risk assessment in clinical practice for patients receiving TEER and those with HF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty is associated with a poor prognosis in older patients with heart failure (HF). However, multidomain frailty assessment tools have not been established in patients with HF, and the association between the frailty phenotype and the deficit-accumulation frailty index in these patients is unclear. We aimed to understand this relationship and evaluate the prognostic value of the deficit-accumulation frailty index in older patients with HF. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed FRAGILE-HF cohort, which consisted of prospectively registered hospitalized patients with HF aged ≥ 65 years. The frailty index was calculated using 34 health-related items. The physical, social, and cognitive domains of frailty were evaluated using a phenotypic approach. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. RESULTS Among 1027 patients with HF (median age, 81 years; male, 58.1%; median frailty index, 0.44), a higher frailty index was associated with a higher prevalence in all domains of cognitive, physical, and social frailty defined by the phenotype model. During the 2-year follow-up period, a higher frailty index was independently associated with all-cause death even after adjustment for Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure (MAGGIC) score plus log B-type natriuretic peptide (per 0.1 increase: hazard ratio, 1.21; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.37; P = 0.002). The addition of the frailty index to the baseline model yielded statistically significant incremental prognostic value (net reclassification improvement, 0.165; 95% confidence interval, 0.012-0.318; P = 0.034). CONCLUSIONS A higher frailty index was associated with a higher prevalence of all domains of frailty defined by the phenotype model and provided incremental prognostic information with pre-existing risk factors in older patients with HF.

Abstract
Mechanical complication (MC) is a rare but serious complication in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Although several risk factors for MC have been reported, a prediction model for MC has not been established. This study aimed to develop a simple prediction model for MC after STEMI. We included 1717 patients with STEMI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Of 1717 patients, 45 MCs occurred after primary PCI. Prespecified predictors were determined to develop a tentative prediction model for MC using multivariable regression analysis. Then, a simple prediction model for MC was generated. Age ≥ 70, Killip class ≥ 2, white blood cell ≥ 10,000/µl, and onset-to-visit time ≥ 8 h were included in a simple prediction model as "point 1" risk score, whereas initial thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade ≤ 1 and final TIMI flow grade ≤ 2 were included as "point 2" risk score. The simple prediction model for MC showed good discrimination with the optimism-corrected area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve of 0.850 (95% CI: 0.798-0.902). The predicted probability for MC was 0-2% in patients with 0-4 points of risk score, whereas that was 6-50% in patients with 5-8 points. In conclusion, we developed a simple prediction model for MC. We may be able to predict the probability for MC by this simple prediction model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although frailty is strongly associated with mortality in patients with heart failure (HF), the risk of which specific cause of death is associated with being complicated with frailty is unclear. We aimed to clarify the association between multidomain frailty and the causes of death in elderly patients hospitalized with HF. METHODS We analyzed data from the FRAGILE-HF cohort, where patients aged 65 years and older, hospitalized with HF, were prospectively registered between 2016 and 2018 in 15 Japanese hospitals before discharge and followed up for 2 years. All patients were assessed for physical, social, and cognitive dysfunction, and categorized into 3 groups based on their number of frailty domains (FDs, 0-1, 2, and 3). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the association between the number of FDs and all-cause mortality, whereas Fine-Gray competing risk regression analysis was used for assessing the impact on cause-specific mortality. RESULTS We analyzed 1181 patients with HF (81 years old in median, 57.4% were male), 530 (44.9%), 437 (37.0%), and 214 (18.1%) of whom were categorized into the FD 0 to 1, FD 2, and FD 3 groups, respectively. During the 2-year follow-up, 240 deaths were observed (99 HF deaths, 34 cardiovascular deaths, and 107 noncardiovascular deaths), and an increase in the number of FD was significantly associated with mortality (Log-rank: P<0.001). The Fine-Gray competing risk analysis adjusted for age and sex showed that FDs 2 (subdistribution hazard ratio, 1.77 [95% CI, 1.11-2.81]) and 3 (2.78, [95% CI, 1.69-4.59]) groups were associated with higher incidence of noncardiovascular death but not with HF and other cardiovascular deaths. CONCLUSIONS Although multidomain frailty is strongly associated with mortality in older patients with HF, it is mostly attributable to noncardiovascular death and not cardiovascular death, including HF death.

Abstract
The clinical impact of replaced right hepatic artery (rRHA) resection during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) has not been thoroughly investigated. We therefore assessed the short- and long-term effects of rRHA resection during PD, with special reference to alterations in the volumetric profile of the liver. Patients with rRHA were divided into two groups based on the presence (R group) or absence (nR group) of resection. The nR group included cases of rRHA resection and reconstruction. We compared the postoperative short-term complications and detailed liver volume profile by CT volumetry in the long term between the R and nR groups. Forty-seven patients were eligible for the analyses of short-term outcomes (R: n = 7, nR: n = 40), and no marked difference was observed in the incidence of short-term postoperative complications. The patient cohort for the long-term investigations included 34 cases (R: n = 6, nR: n = 28), excluding patients with early recurrence. There was no significant difference in the preoperative liver volume profiles between the two groups. At 12 postoperative months, although the whole liver (WL) volume did not significantly change in either group, the ratio of the volume of the anterior/posterior sections significantly increased in the R group (R: pre- vs. 12 months, 1.01 vs. 1.28, p < 0.05; nR: pre- vs. 12 months, 1.40 vs. 1.33, p = 0.99). Long-term rRHA resection did not significantly affect the WL volume with alteration of the liver volumetric profile of each section.

Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the intra-abdominal status related to postoperative pancreatic fistula by combining postoperative fluid collection and drain amylase levels. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the data of 203 patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy and classified their postoperative abdominal status into four groups based on postoperative fluid collection size and drain amylase levels. We also evaluated the incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula in each group according to C-reactive protein values. Results The incidence of clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula in the entire cohort (n = 203) was 28.1%. Multivariate analysis revealed that postoperative fluid collection, drain amylase levels, and C-reactive protein levels are considerable risk factors for clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula. In the subgroup with large postoperative fluid collection and high drain amylase levels, 65.9% of patients developed clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula. However, no significant difference was observed in C-reactive protein levels between patients with clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula and those without it. In contrast, in the subgroup with a large postoperative fluid collection size or a high amylase level alone, a significant difference was observed in C-reactive protein values between the patients with clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula and those without it. Conclusion Postoperative fluid collection status and the C-reactive protein value provide a more precise assessment of intra=abdominal status related to postoperative pancreatic fistula after distal pancreatectomy. This detailed analysis may be a clinically reasonable approach to individual drain management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although vertebrae are the defining character of vertebrates, they are found only in rudimentary form in extant agnathans. In addition, the vertebrae of agnathans possess several unique features, such as elastin-like molecules as the main matrix component and late (post-metamorphosis) differentiation of lamprey vertebrae. In this study, by tracing the developmental process of vertebrae in lamprey, we examined the homology of vertebrae between lampreys and gnathostomes. RESULTS We found that the lamprey somite is first subdivided mediolaterally, with myotome cells differentiating medially and non-myotome cells emerging laterally. Subsequently, collagen-positive non-myotome cells surround the myotome. This pattern of somitogenesis is rather similar to that in amphioxi and sheds doubt on the presence of a sclerotome, in terms of mesenchyme cells induced by a signal from the notochord, in lamprey. Further tracing of non-myotome cell development revealed that fin cartilage develops in ammocoete larvae approximately 35 mm in body length. The development of the fin cartilage occurs much earlier than that of the vertebra whose development proceeds during metamorphosis. CONCLUSION We propose that the homology of vertebrae between agnathans and gnathostomes should be discussed carefully, because the developmental process of the lamprey vertebra is different from that of gnathostomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive distal pancreatectomy (MIDP), including laparoscopic and robotic distal pancreatectomy, has gained widespread acceptance over the last decade owing to its favorable short-term outcomes. However, evidence regarding its oncologic safety is insufficient. In March 2023, a randomized phase III study was launched in Japan to confirm the non-inferiority of overall survival in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer undergoing MIDP compared with that of patients undergoing open distal pancreatectomy (ODP). METHODS This is a multi-institutional, randomized, phase III study. A total of 370 patients will be enrolled from 40 institutions within 4 years. The primary endpoint of this study is overall survival, and the secondary endpoints include relapse-free survival, proportion of patients undergoing radical resection, proportion of patients undergoing complete laparoscopic surgery, incidence of adverse surgical events, and length of postoperative hospital stay. Only a credentialed surgeon is eligible to perform both ODP and MIDP. All ODP and MIDP procedures will undergo centralized review using intraoperative photographs. The non-inferiority of MIDP to ODP in terms of overall survival will be statistically analyzed. Only if non-inferiority is confirmed will the analysis assess the superiority of MIDP over ODP. DISCUSSION If our study demonstrates the non-inferiority of MIDP in terms of overall survival, it would validate its short-term advantages and establish its long-term clinical efficacy. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial is registered with the Japan Registry of Clinical Trials as jRCT 1,031,220,705 [ https://jrct.niph.go.jp/en-latest-detail/jRCT1031220705 ].

Abstract
BACKGROUND The assessment of muscle mass loss, muscle strength, and physical function has been recommended in diagnosing sarcopenia. However, only muscle mass has been assessed in previous studies. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of comprehensively diagnosed preoperative sarcopenia on the prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer. METHODS The study analyzed 115 patients with esophageal cancer (age ≥ 65 years) who underwent curative esophagectomy. Preoperative sarcopenia was analyzed using the skeletal mass index (SMI), handgrip strength, and gait speed based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 criteria. Clinicopathologic factors, incidence of postoperative complications, and overall survival (OS) were compared between the sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia groups. The significance of the three individual parameters also was evaluated. RESULTS The evaluation identified 47 (40.9%) patients with low SMI, 31 (27.0%) patients with low handgrip strength, and 6 (5.2%) patients with slow gait speed. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 23 patients (20%) and associated with older age and advanced pT stage. The incidence of postoperative complications did not differ significantly between the two groups. Among the three parameters, only slow gait speed was associated with Clavien-Dindo grade 2 or greater complications. The sarcopenia group showed significantly worse OS than the non-sarcopenia group. Those with low handgrip strength tended to have worse OS, and those with slow gait speed had significantly worse OS than their counterparts. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative sarcopenia diagnosed using skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function may have an impact on the survival of patients with esophageal cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Major hepatectomy (MH) may produce the impaired liver function and affect the feasibility of adjuvant chemotherapy in terms of early period after the surgery, but there have not been detailed investigations. JCOG1202 (UMIN000011688) is a randomized phase III trial demonstrating the superiority of adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy for biliary tract cancer (BTC). The aim of this study is to examine the influence of MH for BTC on adjuvant S-1. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of the total 424 patients, 207 received S-1 (S-1 arm) while the remaining 217 were not. We compared MH with non-major hepatectomy (NMH) for BTC. RESULTS In the S-1 arm, 42 had undergone MH, and 165 had undergone NMH. MH had similar pretreatment features to NMH, including the proportion of biliary reconstruction, to NMH, except for a lower platelet count (17.7 vs. 23.4 × 104/mm3, p < 0.0001) and lower serum albumin level (3.5 vs. 3.8 g/dL, p < 0.0001). The treatment completion proportion tended to be lower for MH than for NMH (59.5 % vs. 75.8 %; risk ratio, 0.786 [95 % confidence interval, 0.603-1.023], p = 0.0733), and the median dose intensity was lower as well (88.7 % vs. 99.6 %, p = 0.0358). The major reasons for discontinuation were biliary tract infections and gastrointestinal disorders after MH. The frequency of grade 3-4 biliary tract infection was 19.0 % in MH vs. 4.2 % in NMH. CONCLUSION The treatment completion proportion and dose intensity were lower in MH than in NMH. Caution should be exercised against biliary tract infections and gastrointestinal disorders during adjuvant S-1 after MH for BTC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver injury associated with oxaliplatin (L-OHP)-based chemotherapy can significantly impact the treatment outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases, especially when combined with surgery. To date, no definitive biomarker that can predict the risk of liver injury has been identified. This study aimed to investigate whether organoids can be used as tools to predict the risk of liver injury. METHODS We examined the relationship between the clinical signs of L-OHP-induced liver injury and the responses of patient-derived liver organoids in vitro. Organoids were established from noncancerous liver tissues obtained from 10 patients who underwent L-OHP-based chemotherapy and hepatectomy for colorectal cancer. RESULTS Organoids cultured in a galactose differentiation medium, which can activate the mitochondria of organoids, showed sensitivity to L-OHP cytotoxicity, which was significantly related to clinical liver toxicity induced by L-OHP treatment. Organoids from patients who presented with a high-grade liver injury to the L-OHP regimen showed an obvious increase in mitochondrial superoxide levels and a significant decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential with L-OHP exposure. L-OHP-induced mitochondrial oxidative stress was not observed in the organoids from patients with low-grade liver injury. CONCLUSIONS These results suggested that L-OHP-induced liver injury may be caused by mitochondrial oxidative damage. Furthermore, patient-derived liver organoids may be used to assess susceptibility to L-OHP-induced liver injury in individual patients.

Abstract
AIM Neoadjuvant transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) for large tumors is controversial, especially in the minimally invasive surgery era. The aim of this study was to compare features between groups treated with neoadjuvant TACE followed by surgery (TACE + surgery) or upfront surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma >5 cm. METHODS In this exploratory, multicenter, randomized phase I study, the primary measure was 2-year disease-free survival (DFS). Secondary measures were resection rate, necrosis rate by TACE, 2-year overall survival, and site of recurrence. A total of 30 patients were randomly allocated to each arm. RESULTS The two arms did not differ in patient characteristics. The median time to surgery from randomization was 48 days for TACE + surgery and 29 for surgery only (p < 0.001). Postoperative morbidities did not differ between arms. The 2-year DFS, overall survival, and resection rates were 56.7%, 80.0%, and 93.3%, respectively, in the TACE + surgery arm, and 56.1%, 89.9%, and 90.0% in the upfront surgery arm. Minimally invasive surgery was carried out in 35.7% in the TACE + surgery arm and in 29.6% in the upfront surgery arm. The median necrosis rate by TACE was 90.0%. In resected specimens, invasion to the hepatic vein was less with TACE + surgery (3.6% vs. 22.2%, p = 0.0380). In cases of 100% necrosis with TACE, 2-year DFS was 100%. Site of recurrence did not differ between groups. CONCLUSION Neoadjuvant TACE did not improve 2-year DFS, and neoadjuvant TACE allowed delay of surgical treatment without increased morbidity and cancer progress.

Abstract
AIMS Although sarcopenia is common and associated with poor outcomes in patients with heart failure, its simple screening methods remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the predictive value of the Ishii score, which includes age, grip strength, and calf circumference, for sarcopenia and its prognostic predictability in patients with heart failure. METHODS This was a subanalysis of the FRAGILE-HF study. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to evaluate the predictive value for sarcopenia. Patients were stratified into the high and low Ishii score groups based on the cutoff values of the Ishii score determined by the Youden index for sarcopenia, and the 1-year mortality rates were compared. RESULTS Of the 1262 study participants, 936 were evaluated with sarcopenia, and 184 (55 women, 129 men) were diagnosed with sarcopenia. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for sarcopenia were 0.73 and 0.87 for women and men, respectively. The optimal cutoff values for predicting sarcopenia were 165 and 141 for women and men, respectively. Using these cutoff values, the sensitivity and specificity for sarcopenia were 70.9% and 68.5% for women and 88.4% and 69.7% for men, respectively. At 1 year, 151 (low Ishii score group, 98; high Ishii score group, 53) deaths were observed. Adjusted Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that the high Ishii score group was significantly associated with 1-year mortality. CONCLUSION Among older patients hospitalized for heart failure, the Ishii score is useful for predicting sarcopenia and 1-year mortality. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; 24: 147-153.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM CheckMate 577 evaluated adjuvant nivolumab therapy after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and surgery for esophageal cancers. However, the efficacy of this treatment in patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy remains unknown. This study investigated the short-term outcomes of adjuvant nivolumab therapy in patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Out of 956 patients with thoracic esophageal cancer who underwent radical esophagectomy, 227 who exhibited ypN1-3 after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery were included in this study. RESULTS Among 227 patients, 30 received adjuvant nivolumab and 197 received non-nivolumab adjuvant therapy. The nivolumab group displayed a higher number of lymph node metastases compared to the control group. Patients with ypN1-2 tended to have longer recurrence-free survival (RFS) in the nivolumab group than in the non-nivolumab group (p=0.095). In the propensity score-matched cohort, no differences in patient characteristics were observed. Adjuvant nivolumab therapy significantly prolonged RFS in patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (p=0.013). Patients with ypN1-2 in the nivolumab group had significantly longer RFS than their counterparts in the non-nivolumab group (p=0.001), but not in ypN3 (p=0.784). The 1-year postoperative recurrence rates were 59% for the non-nivolumab group and 24% for the nivolumab group (p=0.007). Nivolumab-related adverse events in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy were mostly consistent across all grades, while the frequency of increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels was relatively higher compared to CheckMate577. CONCLUSION Adjuvant nivolumab was more likely to prolong 1-year RFS in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy, especially in those with ypN1-2, and had acceptable adverse events.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prognostic nutritional index and D-dimer level are two useful measures for gastric cancer prognosis. Since they each comprise different factors, it is possible to employ a more useful combined indicator. This study therefore aimed to establish a prognostic nutritional index-D score-which combines the prognostic nutritional index and D-dimer level-and validate its usefulness as a prognostic marker. METHODS We collected data from 1,218 patients with gastric cancer who had undergone radical gastrectomy (R0) between January 2004 and December 2015. Patients were divided into three prognostic nutritional index-D score groups based on the following criteria: score 2, low prognostic nutritional index (≤46) and high D-dimer levels (>1.0 µg/ml); score 1, either a low prognostic nutritional index or high D-dimer levels; and score 0, no abnormality. We then defined the PNI-D score as low (score 0 or 1) and high (score 2). RESULTS The prognostic nutritional index-D score was significantly associated with overall, recurrence-free, and disease-specific survival (all log-rank P<0.0001). The 5-year overall survival rates of the patients with prognostic nutritional index-D scores of low and high were 88.1% and 64.7%, respectively; their 5-year recurrence-free survival rates were 86.7% and 61.3%, respectively; and their 5-year disease-specific survival rates were 99.3% and 76.5%, respectively. Cox multivariate analysis revealed that a high prognostic nutritional index-D score was an independent, statistically significant prognostic factor for poor overall (P=0.01) survival in the patients with gastric cancer. CONCLUSIONS The prognostic nutritional index-D is an independent prognostic factor for patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Metastatic or unresectable locally advanced oesophageal cancer remains a disease with high mortality. More recently, pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy has been indicated as the first-line treatment for those patients, but the predictive factors for treatment efficacy remain controversial. This study investigated the clinical utility of early tumour shrinkage (ETS) and depth of response (DpR) in metastatic or unresectable oesophageal cancer treated with pembrolizumab plus CF therapy. METHODS ETS and DpR, defined as the percent decreases at the second evaluation and the percentage of the maximal tumour shrinkage during treatment, were measured in 53 eligible patients. The ETS and DpR cut-off values were 20% and 30%, respectively, based on survival outcomes. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients (51%) were treatment-naïve, while 26 (49%) had received any treatment before initiating pembrolizumab plus CF therapy. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for ETS ≥20% and <20% were 12.7 and 5.5 months and 14.4 and 8.2 months, and 12.7 and 4.9 months and 14.4 and 8.0 months for DpR ≥30% and <30%, respectively. ETS <20% showed early tumour growth, whereas ETS ≥20% had a good response rate with sufficient longer response duration. In addition, an ETS cut-off of 20% predicted the best overall response and was not associated with prior treatment. In multivariable analysis, ETS ≥20% and DpR ≥30% were independent factors of longer PFS. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that an ETS is a promising on-treatment marker for early prediction of further sensitivity to pembrolizumab plus CF therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The multicenter randomized phase III KHBO1401 study (gemcitabine+cisplatin+S-1 [GCS] versus GC in biliary tract cancers [BTC]) demonstrated that GCS not only prolonged patient survival but also achieved a high response rate and that it should be good for neoadjuvant therapy. Therefore, to explore the possibilities of neoadjuvant therapy, we investigated the tumor shrinkage pattern. METHODS Among the total of 246 patients enrolled in the KHBO1401, the tumor shrinkage pattern and survival were investigated in patients with measurable BTC (n=183, 74%; GCS, n=91; GC, n=92). RESULTS The tumor shrinkage pattern could be divided to 4 categories based on the response at 100 days after enrollment: category A (<-30% in size), B (-30% to 0%), C (0% to +20%), and D (>+20%). The GCS arm included more category A and B cases (61 [67%] vs. 33 [36%], P<0.0001). Each category predicted best response and overall survival (P<0.0001). Category A showed sustained tumor response compared with category B; in GCS, the time to maximum tumor response was 165 ± 76 days in category A and 139 ± 78 in category B. Categories C and D did not achieve tumor shrinkage. The maximum tumor shrinkage size in category A was -53% in the GCS arm and -65% in the GC arm (P=0.0892). Twenty percent of patients in the GCS showed tumor regrowth 154 ± 143 days later. CONCLUSION GCS provided faster and greater tumor shrinkage with better survival in comparison to GC, although 20% of patients showed re-growth after 6 cycles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the long-term dynamics of recurrence risk and the significance of prognostic variables using conditional recurrence-free survival (C-RFS) analysis in neoadjuvant treatment (NAT) for resectable (R) and borderline resectable (BR) pancreatic cancer (PC). BACKGROUND C-RFS analysis assesses the probability of achieving additional RFS according to the RFS already accrued. METHODS Patients with NAT and subsequent resection for R/BRPC were enrolled. In the C-RFS analysis, the actual 5-year RFS (5yRFS) rate was calculated separately in the subgroup that had already gained a given amount of RFS. The significance levels of prognostic variables associated with 5yRFS were assessed regarding their time-dependent dynamics in a conditional fashion. RESULTS Among the total 397 patients, 160 survived for more than 5 years without recurrence after surgery (actual 5yRFS rate: 45%). The probability of 5yRFS incrementally increased based on the RFS already accrued. Pathological nodal and vascular involvement were significant influencers of 5yRFS. The patients with nodal involvement consistently remained at significantly higher risk of recurrence than those without, even after 5yRFS, whereas positivity of vascular involvement was significantly associated with the risk of recurrence only during the early postoperative period and lost its significance after 3yRFS accrued. CONCLUSIONS In NAT for R/BRPC, the probability of gaining additional RFS increases as a function of RFS already accrued, and the significance of prognostic variables time-dependently evolves in their own patterns during the long-term postoperative period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Echinoderms have long been utilized as experimental materials to study the genetic control of developmental processes and their evolution. Among echinoderms, the molecular study of starfish embryos has received considerable attention across research topics such as gene regulatory network evolution and larval regeneration. Recently, experimental techniques to manipulate gene functions have been gradually established in starfish as the feasibility of genome editing methods was reported. However, it is still unclear when these techniques cause genome cleavage during the development of starfish, which is critical to understand the timeframe and applicability of the experiment during early development of starfish. RESULTS We herein reported that gene functions can be analyzed by the genome editing method TALEN in early embryos, such as the blastula of the starfish Patiria pectinifera. We injected the mRNA of TALEN targeting rar, which was previously constructed, into eggs of P. pectinifera and examined the efficiency of genome cleavage through developmental stages from 6 to 48 hours post fertilization. CONCLUSION The results will be key knowledge not only when designing TALEN-based experiments but also when assessing the results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Curative esophagectomy is not always possible in patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer. However, few studies have investigated patients who underwent non-curative surgery with intraoperative judgment. This study aimed to investigate patient characteristics and clinical outcomes for patients undergoing non-curative surgery and compare them between non-resectional and non-radical surgery. METHODS Among 989 consecutive patients with thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who were preoperatively expected for curative esophagectomy, 66 who were eligible for non-curative surgery were included in this study. RESULTS Intraoperative diagnosis of T4b accounted for 93% of the reasons for the failure of curative surgery. In those patients, esophageal cancer locally invaded into the aortobronchial constriction (70%), trachea (25%), or pulmonary vein (5%). LN metastasis mainly invaded into the trachea (50%), or bronchus (28%).The overall survival of patients with non-curative surgery was 51.5%, 25.7%, and 10.4% at 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery, respectively. Although there were no differences in preoperative patient characteristics between non-resectional and non-radical surgery, distant metastasis, especially pleural dissemination, was significantly observed in T4b patients due to esophageal cancer with non-radical surgery than those with non-resectional surgery (35% vs. 15%, P=0.002). Even in patients with non-curative surgery, R1 resection and postoperative CRT were identified as independent factors for survival 1 year after surgery (P=0.047, and 0.019). CONCLUSIONS T4b tumor located in aortobronchial constriction or trachea/bronchus makes it difficult to diagnose whether it is resectable or unresectable. Moreover, surgical procedures and perioperative treatment were deeply associated with the clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose Gemcitabine, cisplatin, and S-1 chemotherapy was superior to gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy for progression-free survival and overall survival for unresectable and recurrent biliary tract cancer in a randomized phase III trial (KHBO1401). This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of conversion surgery after chemotherapy in biliary tract cancer patients (ancillary study, KHBO1401-3C). Methods A total of 246 patients were enrolled in KHBO1401. We compared progression-free and overall survivals between the conversion surgery and non-conversion surgery groups. Results Eight patients (3.3%) underwent conversion surgery with chemotherapy, seven of whom were diagnosed with unresectable disease and one with recurrence. Six and two patients received gemcitabine, cisplatin, and S-1 chemotherapy as well as gemcitabine and cisplatin chemotherapy, respectively. Three patients in the conversion surgery group who received gemcitabine, cisplatin, and S-1 chemotherapy showed no disease progression and survived without postoperative chemotherapy. Preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) level was a prognostic factor for conversion surgery. After correcting for immortal time bias, 1-year progression-free survival rates in the conversion surgery and non-conversion surgery groups were 50.0% and 19.0%, respectively (hazard ratio 0.343, 95% confidence interval 0.286-0.843, p = 0.0092). One-year overall survival rates in the conversion surgery and non-conversion surgery groups were 87.5% and 56.0%, respectively (hazard ratio 0.222, 95% confidence interval 0.226-0.877, p = 0.0197). Conclusions Conversion surgery might be an option for the treatment of unresectable and recurrent biliary tract cancer in patients with normal preoperative CA19-9 level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guidelines recommend doublet chemotherapy (S-1 plus another chemotherapy) over S-1 alone for patients with pStage III gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy. However, no consensus exists on adjuvant regimens for patients with pStage III gastric cancer. Therefore, we conducted a comparative study to evaluate the tolerability, safety, and survival outcomes of docetaxel plus S-1 (DS) and S-1 plus oxaliplatin (SOX) therapies as adjuvant chemotherapy for patients with pStage III gastric cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected data from consecutive patients with gastric cancer who underwent gastrectomy and received DS or SOX therapies postoperatively at the Osaka International Cancer Institute between December 2016 and December 2021. We conducted a propensity score matching analysis to balance clinical backgrounds. RESULTS Eighty patients who met the eligibility criteria were analyzed. After matching, 40 patients were included in the study (20 each in the DS and SOX groups). No significant adverse events were observed. The mean ratios of the delivered dose to the planned dose were 74.1% and 86.6% for S-1 and docetaxel in the DS group, respectively, and 75.8% and 76.9% for S-1 and oxaliplatin in the SOX group, respectively. No significant differences were found in recurrence-free and overall survival between the DS and SOX groups (p=0.688 and p=0.772, respectively). CONCLUSION DS and SOX therapies as adjuvants were safe and manageable for patients with pStage III gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy. No significant differences were found in prognosis between the two therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cachexia substantially impacts the prognosis of patients with heart failure (HF); however, there is no standard method for cachexia diagnosis. This study aimed to investigate the association of Evans's criteria, consisting of multiple assessments, with the prognosis of HF in older adults. METHODS This study is a secondary analysis of the data from the FRAGILE-HF study, a prospective multicentre cohort study that enrolled consecutive hospitalized patients aged ≥65 years with HF. Patients were divided into two groups: the cachexia and non-cachexia groups. Cachexia was defined according to Evans's criteria by assessing weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, anorexia, a decreased fat-free mass index and an abnormal biochemical profile. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality, as assessed in the survival analysis. RESULTS Cachexia was present in 35.5% of the 1306 enrolled patients (median age [inter-quartile range], 81 [74-86] years; 57.0% male); 59.6%, 73.2%, 15.6%, 71.0%, 44.9% and 64.6% had weight loss, decreased muscle strength, a low fat-free mass index, abnormal biochemistry, anorexia and fatigue, respectively. All-cause mortality occurred in 270 patients (21.0%) over 2 years. The cachexia group (hazard ratio [HR], 1.494; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.173-1.903; P = 0.001) had a higher mortality risk than the non-cachexia group after adjusting for the severity of HF. Cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular deaths occurred in 148 (11.3%) and 122 patients (9.3%), respectively. The adjusted HRs for cachexia in cardiovascular mortality and non-cardiovascular mortality were 1.456 (95% CI, 1.048-2.023; P = 0.025) and 1.561 (95% CI, 1.086-2.243; P = 0.017), respectively. Among the cachexia diagnostic criteria, decreased muscle strength (HR, 1.514; 95% CI, 1.095-2.093; P = 0.012) and low fat-free mass index (HR, 1.424; 95% CI, 1.052-1.926; P = 0.022) were significantly associated with high all-cause mortality, but there was no significant association between weight loss alone (HR, 1.147; 95% CI, 0.895-1.471; P = 0.277) and all-cause mortality. CONCLUSIONS Cachexia evaluated by multi-assessment was present in one third of older adults with HF and was associated with a worse prognosis. A multimodal assessment of cachexia may be helpful for risk stratification in older patients with HF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program is expected to improve perioperative outcomes in patients with esophageal cancer. However, how ERAS impacts the postoperative body composition and factors related to compliance rate of ERAS have not been fully investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS The study included 252 consecutive patients with thoracic esophageal cancer who underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy. We compared the postoperative outcomes including body composition between the old perioperative program and the new one that aimed to shorten postoperative length of stay (LOS). Compliance-related clinical factors were also examined. RESULTS From 252 patients, 129 underwent the old program and 123 the new program. Postoperative LOS, postoperative complications, and hospital costs were reduced with the new program. Body weight loss was significantly improved with the new program at discharge and 3-months after esophagectomy (94.9% vs. 96.6%, p=0.013, 89.5% vs. 91.1%, p=0.028, respectively). Patients in the new program had better body composition at discharge than those in the old program [body fat mass (91.6% vs. 94.1%), lean body mass (95.2% vs. 97.2), and skeletal muscle mass (95.3% vs. 97.0%)]. Major reasons for incompliance were dysphagia, pneumonia, and anastomotic leakage. Multivariate analysis revealed that age ≥70 years at surgery and sex (male) were independent risk factors for incompliance with the postoperative program. CONCLUSION The new ERAS program aimed to shorten postoperative LOS had clinical benefits in body composition early after esophagectomy. Personalized ERAS programs based on age might lead to better postoperative outcomes because of low compliance rates for older patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE In biliary tract cancer (BTC), malignancy is strongest at the invasion front. To improve the BTC prognosis, the invasion front should be controlled. We evaluated tumor-stroma crosstalk at the tumor center and at the invasion front of BTC lesions. We investigated the expression of SPARC, a marker of cancer-associated fibroblasts, and determined its ability to predict BTC prognosis after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NAC-RT). METHODS We performed immunohistochemistry to evaluate SPARC expression in resected specimens from patients that underwent BTC surgery. We established highly invasive (HI) clones in two BTC cell lines (NOZ, CCLP1), and performed mRNA microarrays to compare gene expression in parental and HI cells. RESULTS Among 92 specimens, stromal SPARC expression was higher at the invasion front than at the lesion center (p = 0.014). Among 50 specimens from patients treated with surgery alone, high stromal SPARC expression at the invasion front was associated with a poor prognosis (recurrence-free survival: p = 0.033; overall survival: p = 0.017). Coculturing fibroblasts with NOZ-HI cells upregulated fibroblast SPARC expression. mRNA microarrays showed that connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) was upregulated in NOZ-HI and CCLP1-HI cells. A CTGF knockdown suppressed cell invasion in NOZ-HI cells. Exogeneous CTGF upregulated SPARC expression in fibroblasts. SPARC expression at the invasion front was significantly lower after NAC-RT, compared to surgery alone (p = 0.003). CONCLUSION CTGF was associated with tumor-stroma crosstalk in BTC. CTGF activated stromal SPARC expression, which promoted tumor progression, particularly at the invasion front. SPARC expression at the invasion front after NAC-RT may serve as a prognosis predictor.

Abstract
A 91-year-old woman was brought to our hospital with altered consciousness. Blood tests showed an increased ammonia level of 468 μg/dL and a normal liver function. Chest computed tomography showed massive right pleural effusion with loculation. We immediately performed chest drainage using two drainage tubes. The pleural effusate pH was 8.5. We diagnosed her with right empyema leading to hyperammonemia and initiated ampicillin/sulbactam therapy. However, she developed progressive renal failure and died on the third day. Empyema caused by urease-producing bacteria can lead to hyperammonemia. This is the first report of hyperammonemia due to empyema in the English literature.

Abstract
AIMS Complex and high-risk intervention in indicated patients (CHIP) is an emerging concept in the contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). CHIP is known to consist three factors, namely, (1) patient factors, (2) complicated heart disease, and (3) complex PCI. However, it remains unclear whether additional CHIP factors further increase the incidence of complications in complex PCI. Thus, in this study, we aim to compare the incidence of complications among definite CHIP, possible CHIP, and non-CHIP in terms of complex PCI and to further investigate the association between CHIP and complications. METHODS The primary aim of this study was to determine the major complications in PCI. We included 989 PCI lesions and divided those into definite CHIP (n=140), possible CHIP (n=397), and the non-CHIP groups (n=452). RESULTS The incidence of major complications was noted to be the highest in the definite CHIP, followed by the possible CHIP, and lowest in the non-CHIP (p=0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis using a generalized estimating equation revealed definite CHIP (versus non-CHIP: odds ratio (OR) 2.099, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.062-4.150, p=0.033) was significantly associated with major complications after controlling for confounding factors. Another multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed immunosuppressive drugs (OR 3.040, 95% CI 1.251-7.386, p=0.014), unstable hemodynamics (OR 5.753, 95% CI 1.217-27.201, p=0.027), and frailty (OR 2.039, 95% CI 1.108-3.751, p=0.022) were significantly associated with major complications among CHIP factors. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of major complications in complex PCI was determined to be the highest in the definite CHIP, followed by the possible CHIP and lowest in the non-CHIP. Thus, more attention should be given to the three components of CHIP to prevent major complications in complex PCI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND After orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT), complications such as hepatic artery stenosis, thrombosis, and bleeding are possible. Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms (HAP) are prone to rupture, rupture hemorrhage, and increased mortality risk. Endovascular treatment of HAP may result in recurrence, even after successful embolization with thrombin. Formation of a HAP in the common hepatic artery (CHA) is challenging because the CHA is the only artery in the liver graft after OLT. Therefore, CHA embolization in HAP is not an initial option. We report a case of HAP at the CHA after OLT that was treated with endovascular therapy, resulting in the occlusion of the CHA with coil embolization, achieving a radical cure. CASE PRESENTATION A 59-year-old man with decompensated hepatitis C virus cirrhosis underwent deceased donor whole-liver transplantation after graft failure of a living donor liver transplantation. After the second transplantation, the patient developed infectious narrow-necked HAP at the CHA associated with postoperative pancreatic fistula. Repeated transcatheter arterial embolization with thrombin and n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate was unsuccessful, as confirmed by postprocedure angiography, which revealed recanalization and regrowth of the HAP. Eight months after the first transcatheter arterial embolization, the patient presented with a chief complaint of abdominal pain due to an enlarged HAP. Angiography of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) revealed a collateral bypass around the bile duct from the SMA to the liver graft. Coil embolization of the HAP in the CHA completely occluded the HAP without complications. More than 2 years after coil embolization, the liver graft function test results remained within normal limits without HAP recurrence. CONCLUSIONS HAP at the CHA after liver transplantation can be fatal if ruptured. Because the liver is a highly angiogenic organ, even if initial treatment is not successful, radical treatment to occlude the CHA with HAP is possible if sufficient collateral vessels are developed.

Abstract
AIMS Coronary calcification detected by coronary angiography is a simple risk marker for long-term clinical outcomes in stable coronary artery disease. However, the significance of angiographic coronary calcification in the culprit lesion of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not been fully discussed. The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the usefulness of angiographic coronary calcification as a risk marker for long-term clinical outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention to the culprit lesions of AMI. METHODS We included 1209 patients with AMI and divided them into the none-mild calcification group (n=923) and the moderate-severe calcification group (n=286) according to angiographic coronary calcification in the culprit lesion of AMI. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), which was defined as a composite of all-cause death, nonfatal MI, readmission for heart failure, and ischemia-driven target vessel revascularization. RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 542 (Q1: 182, Q3: 990) days. A total of 345 MACE were observed during the study period. The occurrence of MACE was significantly greater in the moderate-severe calcification group than in the none-mild calcification group (43.4% vs. 23.9%, p<0.001). In the multivariate Cox hazard model, moderate-severe calcification was significantly associated with MACE (hazard ratio 1.302, 95% confidence interval 1.011-1.677, p=0.041) after controlling multiple confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS Angiographically moderate to severe calcification in AMI culprit lesion was associated with long-term worse clinical outcomes. Angiographic coronary calcification can be a simple risk marker in patients after AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Laparoscopic resection of gallbladder carcinomas remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the surgical and oncological outcomes of laparoscopic procedures for suspected gallbladder carcinoma (GBC). METHODS In this retrospective study, data regarding suspected GBC treated with laparoscopic radical cholecystectomy before 2020 in Japan, was included. Patient characteristics, surgical procedure details, surgical outcomes, and long-term outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS Data of 129 patients with suspected GBC who underwent laparoscopic radical cholecystectomy were retrospectively collected from 11 institutions in Japan. Among them, 82 patients with pathological GBC were included in the study. Laparoscopic gallbladder bed resection was performed in 114 patients and laparoscopic resection of segments IVb and V was performed in 15 patients. The median operation time was 269 min (range: 83-725 min), and the median intraoperative blood loss was 30 mL (range: 0-950 mL). The conversion and postoperative complication rates were 8% and 2%, respectively. During the follow-up period, the 5-year overall survival rate was 79% and the 5-year disease-free survival rate was 87%. Recurrence was detected in the liver, lymph nodes, and other local tissues. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic radical cholecystectomy is a treatment option with potential favorable outcomes in selected patients with suspected GBC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate prognostic estimation is crucial; however, the prognostic value of tumor deposits in gastric cancer remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate their prognostic significance. METHODS Clinicopathological and prognostic data of 1012 gastric cancer patients who underwent R0 or R1 surgery from 2010 to 2017 at the Osaka International Cancer Institute were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Overall, 6.3% patients had tumor deposits, which were associated with Borrmann type, surgical procedure, type of gastrectomy, extent of lymphadenectomy, tumor size, histology, pT, pN, pM, pStage, lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion, preoperative chemotherapy, and postoperative chemotherapy. Tumor deposit-positive patients had worse 5-year disease-free survival (32.60% vs. 92.45%) and overall survival (41.22% vs. 89.37%) than tumor deposit-negative patients. Subgroup analysis regarding pStage II-III also showed significant differences between patients with and without tumor deposits for 5-year disease-free survival (34.15% vs. 80.98%) and overall survival (43.17% vs. 75.78%). Multivariable analysis showed that older age, undifferentiated histology, deeper tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and presence of tumor deposits were significantly correlated with early tumor recurrence and shorter survival time; these factors were identified as independent prognostic factors. The 5-year disease-free survival of tumor deposit-positive patients was significantly worse than that of patients in the pStage III group and comparable to that of patients in the pT4, pN3, and pM1 groups. The 5-year overall survival of tumor deposit-positive patients was comparable to that of the pT4, pN3, pM1, and pStage III groups. CONCLUSIONS Tumor deposits are strong and independent predictors of tumor recurrence and poor survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No study with an adequate patients' number has examined the relationship/overlap between sarcopenia and cachexia. We examined the prevalence of the overlap and prognostic implications of sarcopenia and cachexia in older patients with heart failure using well-accepted definitions. METHODS This was a post-hoc sub-analysis of the FRAGILE-HF study, a prospective, multicenter, observational study conducted at 15 hospitals in Japan. In total, 905 hospitalized older patients were classified into four groups based on the presence or absence of cachexia and/or sarcopenia, which were defined according to the Evans and Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria revised in 2019, respectively. The primary endpoint was 2-year all-cause mortality. RESULTS Cachexia and sarcopenia prevalence rates were 32.7% and 22.7%, respectively. Patients were classified into the non-cachexia/non-sarcopenia (55.7%), cachexia/non-sarcopenia (21.7%), non-cachexia/sarcopenia (11.6%), and cachexia/sarcopenia (11.0%) groups. During the 2-year follow-up period after discharge, 158 (17.5%) all-cause deaths (124 cardiovascular deaths [CVD] and 34 non-CVD) were observed. The cachexia/sarcopenia group had the lowest body fat mass and exhibited significantly higher mortality rates (log-rank P < 0.001). Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that cachexia/sarcopenia was an independent prognostic factor after adjusting for known prognostic factors (versus non-cachexia/non-sarcopenia: hazard ratio, 2.78; 95% confidence interval, 1.80-4.29; P < 0.001). Neither cachexia/non-sarcopenia nor non-cachexia/sarcopenia were significantly associated with all-cause mortality compared with non-cachexia/non-sarcopenia. CONCLUSIONS Cachexia and sarcopenia are prevalent among older hospitalized patients with heart failure; nonetheless, the overlap is not as prominent as previously expected. The presence of cachexia and sarcopenia is a risk factor for all-cause mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the course of animal developmental processes, various tissues are differentiated through complex interactions within the gene regulatory network. As a general concept, differentiation has been considered to be the endpoint of specification processes. Previous works followed this view and provided a genetic control scheme of differentiation in sea urchin embryos: early specification genes generate distinct regulatory territories in an embryo to express a small set of differentiation driver genes; these genes eventually stimulate the expression of tissue-specific effector genes, which provide biological identity to differentiated cells, in each region. However, some tissue-specific effector genes begin to be expressed in parallel with the expression onset of early specification genes, raising questions about the simplistic regulatory scheme of tissue-specific effector gene expression and the current concept of differentiation itself. RESULTS Here, we examined the dynamics of effector gene expression patterns during sea urchin embryogenesis. Our transcriptome-based analysis indicated that many tissue-specific effector genes begin to be expressed and accumulated along with the advancing specification GRN in the distinct cell lineages of embryos. Moreover, we found that the expression of some of the tissue-specific effector genes commences before cell lineage segregation occurs. CONCLUSIONS Based on this finding, we propose that the expression onset of tissue-specific effector genes is controlled more dynamically than suggested in the previously proposed simplistic regulation scheme. Thus, we suggest that differentiation should be conceptualized as a seamless process of accumulation of effector expression along with the advancing specification GRN. This pattern of effector gene expression may have interesting implications for the evolution of novel cell types.

Abstract
Exhaled gas analysis is a non-invasive test ideal for continuous monitoring of biological metabolic information. We analyzed the exhaled gas of patients with inflammatory diseases for trace gas components that could serve as biomarkers that enable early detection of inflammatory diseases and assessment of treatment efficacy. Furthermore, we examined the clinical potential of this method. We enrolled 34 patients with inflammatory disease and 69 healthy participants. Volatile components from exhaled gas were collected and analyzed by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry system, and the data were examined for gender, age, inflammatory markers, and changes in markers before and after treatment. The data were tested for statistical significance through discriminant analysis by Volcano plot, Analysis of variance test, principal component analysis, and cluster analysis comparing healthy and patient groups. There were no significant differences in the trace components of exhaled gas by gender or age. However, we found differences in some components of the exhaled gas between healthy and untreated patients. In addition, after treatment, gas patterns including the patient-specific components changed to a state closer to the inflammation-free status. We identified trace components in the exhaled gas of patients with inflammatory diseases and found that some of these regressed after treatment.

Abstract
Some patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) would develop delirium, which is associated with poor prognosis. The purpose of this retrospective study was to identify factors associated with ICU delirium in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We included 753 AMI and divided those into the ICU-delirium group (n = 110) and the non-ICU-delirium group (n = 643) according to the presence of ICU delirium. The ICU delirium was evaluated by confusion assessment method for the intensive care unit. Patient characteristics and clinical outcomes were compared between the 2 groups, and factors associated with ICU delirium were sought by multivariate analysis. The prevalence of female sex was significantly higher in the ICU-delirium group (43.6%) than in the non-ICU-delirium group (20.2%) (p < 0.001). The incidence of in-hospital death was significantly higher in the ICU-delirium group (17.3%) than in the non-ICU-delirium group (0.5%) (p < 0.001). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age [every 10 years increase: odds ratio (OR) 1.439, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.127-1.837, p = 0.004], female sex (OR 2.237, 95%CI 1.300-3.849, p = 0.004), triple vessel disease (OR 2.317, 95%CI 1.365-3.932, p = 0.002), body mass index < 18.5 kg/m2 (OR 2.910, 95%CI 1.410-6.008, p = 0.004), use of mechanical support (OR 2.812, 95%CI 1.500-5.270, p = 0.001), respiratory failure (OR 5.342, 95%CI 3.080-9.265, p < 0.001), and use of continuous renal replacement therapy (OR 5.901, 95%CI 2.520-13.819, p < 0.001) were significantly associated with ICU delirium. In conclusion, ICU delirium was associated with in-hospital death. Older age, female sex, triple vessel disease, leanness, use of mechanical support, respiratory failure, and continuous renal replacement therapy were significantly associated with the occurrence of ICU delirium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infections are common after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Our institution routinely performs intraoperative bile culture with pancreaticoduodenectomy. Herein we examined whether antibiotic selection based on bile culture analysis reduced the surgical site infection risk after pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS A total of 349 patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy with intraoperative bile cultures in our institution between 2008 and 2019. Patients were categorized into "group A" (196 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between 2008 and 2013) or "group B" (153 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy between 2018 and 2019). Group A received cefazoline perioperatively and for 2 days postoperatively, whereas group B received piperacillin-tazobactam instead based on the bile culture findings in group A. RESULTS In group A, 91 (46.4%) intraoperative bile cultures were positive, and surgical site infections occurred in 61 patients (31.1%). A total of 32 patients had both positive bile culture and surgical site infection, of whom 23 (71.9%) exhibited the same microorganisms in the biliary and surgical site infection cultures. Due to the common finding of cefazoline-resistant Enterococcus spp. and Enterobacter spp. in group A, group B received piperacillin-tazobactam. Surgical site infection incidence in group B was 18.3% (n = 28), which was significantly lower than in group A (P = .006). Cefazoline-resistant Enterococcus spp. and Enterobacter spp., respectively, were cultured in 69.8% and 24.3% of patients with preoperative biliary drainage, compared with 32.2% and 9.7% of patients without preoperative biliary drainage. CONCLUSION The perioperative selection of antibiotics based on bile culture findings at pancreaticoduodenectomy can reduce the incidence of surgical site infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incremental prognostic value of the six-minute walking test over conventional risk factors has not been evaluated in an adequate number of patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Therefore, we aimed to examine its prognostic significance using data from the FRAGILE-HF study. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 513 older patients who were hospitalized for worsening heart failure were examined. Patients were classified according to the tertiles of six-minute walking distance (6MWD): T1 (<166 m), T2 (166-285 m), and T3 (≥285 m). During the 2-year follow-up period after discharge, 90 all-cause deaths occurred. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the T1 group had significantly higher event rates than the other groups (log-rank p = 0.007). Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that the T1 group was independently associated with lower survival, even after adjusting for conventional risk factors (T3: hazard ratio 1.79, 95% confidence interval 1.02-3.14, p = 0.042). The addition of the 6MWD to the conventional prognostic model showed a statistically significant incremental prognostic value (net reclassification improvement 0.27, 95% confidence interval 0.04-0.49; p = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS The 6MWD is associated with survival in patients with HFpEF and has an incremental prognostic value over conventional well-validated risk factors.

Abstract
Recently, there has been a growing interest in complex and high-risk intervention in indicated patients (CHIP) in the contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). CHIP is composed of the following 3 factors: (1) patient factors, (2) complicated heart disease, and (3) complex PCI. However, there are few studies that investigated the long-term outcomes of CHIP-PCI. The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) among the definite CHIP, possible CHIP, and non-CHIP groups in complex PCI. We included 961 patients and divided them into the definite CHIP (n = 129), the possible CHIP (n = 369), and the non-CHIP groups (n = 463). During the median follow-up duration of 573 days (quartile 1:226 days to quartile 3:1,165 days), a total of 189 MACE were observed. The incidence of MACE was highest in the definite CHIP group, followed by the possible CHIP group, and lowest in the non-CHIP group (p = 0.001). Definite CHIP (vs non-CHIP: odds ratio 3.558, 95% confidence interval 2.249 to 5.629, p <0.001) and possible CHIP (vs non-CHIP: odds ratio 2.260, 95% confidence interval 1.563 to 3.266, p <0.001) were significantly associated with MACE after controlling for confounding factors. Among CHIP factors, active malignancy, pulmonary disease, hemodialysis, unstable hemodynamics, left ventricular ejection fraction, and valvular disease were significantly associated with MACE. In conclusion, the incidence of MACE in complex PCI was highest in the definite CHIP group, followed by the possible CHIP group, and lowest in the non-CHIP group. The concept of CHIP should be recognized to predict the long-term MACE in patients who undergo complex PCI.

Abstract
AIMS Frailty is highly prevalent and associated with poor prognoses in elderly patients with heart failure (HF). However, the potential effects of physical frailty on the benefits of HF medications in elderly patients with HF are unclear. We aimed to determine the influence of physical frailty on the prognosis of HF medications in elderly patients with HF with reduced and mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFr/mrEF). METHODS AND RESULTS From the combined HF database of the FRAGILE-HF and Kitasato cohorts, hospitalized HF patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction < 50% and age ≥ 65 years were analysed. Patients treated with or without renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) and beta-blockers at discharge were compared. Physical frailty was defined by the presence of ≥3 items on the Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study criteria. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality rate. Among the 1021 enrolled patients, 604 patients (59%) received both RAASi and beta-blockers, and 604 patients (59%) were diagnosed as physically frail. Patients receiving both RAASi and beta-blockers showed a significantly lower 1 year mortality than those not receiving either, even after adjusting for covariates (hazard ratio: 0.50, 95% confidence interval: 0.34-0.75). This beneficial effect of both medications on 1 year mortality was comparable between patients with and without physical frailty (hazard ratio: 0.53 and 0.51, respectively; P for interaction = 0.77). CONCLUSIONS The presence of physical frailty did not interact with the beneficial prognostic impact of RAASi and beta-blocker combination therapy in elderly patients with HFr/mrEF.

Abstract
In-hospital mortality of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with cardiogenic shock (CS) remains high. Also, in-hospital mortality of AMI complicated with cardiac arrest (CA) has been reported to be highest among any AMI. However, there were few reports that compared in-hospital mortality directly between AMI complicated with CS and complicated with CA. The purpose of this study was to compare in-hospital outcomes between AMI complicated with CS and complicated with CA. We retrospectively included 195 AMI patients complicated by CS or CA, and divided those into the CA group (n = 109) and the CS group (n = 86). We also subdivided the CA group into CA with persistent CS (n = 83) and CA without persistent CS (n = 26). One-third of the study population died during the index admission. In-hospital death was more frequently observed in the CA group (45.0%) than in the CS group (20.9%) (p < 0.001). In-hospital mortality was highest in the CA with persistent CS group (68.7%), followed by the CS group (20.9%), and least in the CA without persistent CS group (11.5%) (p < 0.001). Favorable neurological function was more frequently observed in the CA without persistent CS group (76.9%) and the CS group (74.4%) than in the CA with persistent CS group (27.7%) (p < 0.001). In conclusion, in-hospital mortality was higher in AMI patients with CA than in those with CS. However, when we divided AMI patients with CA into those with and without persistent CS, in-hospital mortality was lowest in CA without persistent CS, followed by CS, and highest in CA with persistent CS.

Abstract
Chronic active Epstein-Bar virus infection (CAEBV) is known to cause various symptoms. Although pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) has been reported as a cardiovascular complication of CAEBV, the mechanisms of PAH and the effects of treatment have not been fully elucidated. We experienced 4 adult patients with CAEBV complicated by PAH. All of them received treatment for PAH with a vasodilator followed by chemotherapy with or without allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation for CAEBV. In all of these patients, the transtricuspid pressure gradient improved under treatment with vasodilator, and further improvement was observed under treatment for CAEBV in 3 patients. Autopsy was performed in 2 patients, which revealed EBER-positive cells and a change in the pulmonary artery at each stage in the pathology. In conclusion, EBV-infected cells can cause vasculitis and finally PAH. However, PAH complicated with CAEBV can be improved by PAH medication and treatment of CAEBV.

Acute Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack in ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Patients Who Underwent Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. J Clin Med 2023; 12:jcm12030840.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a rare but critical complication following ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The risk of AIS or transient ischemic attack (TIA) may be amplified by invasive procedures, including primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with in-hospital AIS/TIA in patients with STEMI who required primary PCI. METHODS We included 941 STEMI patients who underwent primary PCI and divided them into an AIS/TIA group (n = 39) and a non-AIS/TIA group (n = 902), according to new-onset AIS/TIA. The primary interest was to find the factors associated with AIS/TIA by multivariate logistic regression analysis. We also compared clinical outcomes between the AIS/TIA and non-AIS/TIA groups. RESULTS The incidence of in-hospital deaths was significantly higher in the AIS/TIA group (46.2%) than in the non-AIS/TIA group (6.3%) (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that cardiogenic shock (OR 3.228, 95% CI 1.492-6.986, p = 0.003), new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) (OR 2.280, 95% CI 1.033-5.031, p = 0.041), trans-femoral approach (OR 2.336, 95% CI 1.093-4.992, p = 0.029), use of ≥4 catheters (OR 3.715, 95% CI 1.831-7.537, p < 0.001), and bleeding academic research consortium (BARC) type 3 or 5 bleeding (OR 2.932, 95% CI 1.256-6.846, p = 0.013) were significantly associated with AIS/TIA. CONCLUSION In STEMI patients with primary PCI, new-onset AIS/TIA was significantly associated with cardiogenic shock, new-onset AF, trans-femoral approach, the use of ≥4 catheters, and BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding. We should recognize these modifiable and unmodifiable risk factors for AIS/TIA in the treatment of STEMI.
