Abstract
AIMS The incidence and prognosis of symptomatic heart failure following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the primary percutaneous coronary intervention era have rarely been reported in the literature. This study aimed to (i) determine the incidence of heart failure admission among AMI survivors, (ii) compare 1 year outcomes between patients with heart failure admission and those without, and (iii) identify the independent risk factors associated with heart failure admission. METHODS AND RESULTS The Japan Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry is a prospective multicentre registry from which data on consecutively enrolled patients with AMI from 50 institutions between 2015 and 2017 were obtained. Among the 3411 patients enrolled, 3226 who survived until discharge were included in this study. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. The secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular events (defined as cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal cerebral infarction) and major bleeding events corresponding to Bleeding Academic Research Consortium Type 3 or 5. Clinical outcomes were compared between the patients who were and were not admitted for heart failure. Over a median follow-up of 12 months, 124 patients (3.8%) were admitted due to heart failure. Independent risk factors for heart failure admission included older age, female sex, Killip class ≥2 on admission, left ventricular ejection fraction <40%, estimated glomerular filtration rate ≤30 mL/min/1.73 m2, a history of malignancy, and non-use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors at discharge. The cumulative incidence of all-cause mortality was significantly higher in the heart failure admission group than in the no heart failure admission group (11.3% vs. 2.5%, P < 0.001). The rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (16.9% vs. 2.7%, P < 0.001) and major bleeding (6.5% vs. 1.6%, P < 0.001) were significantly higher in the heart failure admission group. Heart failure admission was associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality, even after adjusting for potential confounders (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.41, 95% confidence interval: 1.33-4.39, P = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS Utilizing real-world data of the contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention era from the Japan Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry database, this study demonstrates that the heart failure admission of AMI survivors was significantly associated with higher all-cause mortality rates.

Abstract
AIMS ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock (STEMICS) is associated with substantial mortality. As life expectancy increases, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is being performed more frequently, even in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study sought to investigate the characteristics and impact of PCI on in-hospital mortality in patients with STEMICS. METHODS AND RESULTS The Japan AMI Registry (JAMIR) is a retrospective, nationwide, real-world database. Among 46 242 patients with AMI hospitalized in 2011-2016, 2760 patients with STEMICS (median age, 72 years) were studied. We compared 2396 (86.8%) patients who underwent PCI with 364 (13.2%) patients who did not. The percentage of mechanical circulatory support use in patients with STEMICS was 69.3% and in-hospital mortality was 34.6%. Compared with patients who did not undergo PCI, patients undergoing PCI were younger and had a higher rate of intra-aortic balloon pump use. A higher proportion was male or current smokers. In-hospital mortality was significantly lower in the PCI group than in the no-PCI group (31.3% vs. 56.0%, P < 0.001). Percutaneous coronary intervention was independently associated with lower in-hospital mortality [adjusted odds ratio (OR), 0.508; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.347-0.744]. In 789 (28.6%) patients aged ≥80 years, PCI was associated with fewer in-hospital cardiac deaths (adjusted OR, 0.524; 95% CI, 0.281-0.975), but was not associated with in-hospital mortality (adjusted OR, 0.564; 95% CI, 0.300-1.050). CONCLUSION In Japan, PCI was effective in reducing in-hospital cardiac death in elderly patients with STEMICS. Age alone should not preclude potentially beneficial invasive therapy.

Abstract
This paper provides new evidence on inequalities in resources for children age 3-4 by parental education using harmonized data from six advanced industrialized countries-United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands, and Japan-that represent different social welfare regime types. We analyze inequalities in two types of resources for young children-family income, and center-based child care-applying two alternative measures of parental education-highest parental education, and maternal education. We hypothesize that inequalities in resources by parental education will be less pronounced in countries where social policies are designed to be more equalizing. The results provide partial support for this hypothesis: the influence of parental education on resources for children does vary by the social policy context, although not in all cases. We also find that the measurement of parental education matters: income disparities are smaller under a maternal-only definition whereas child care disparities are larger. Moreover, the degree of divergence between the two sets of estimates differs across countries. We provide some of the first systematic evidence about how resources for young children vary depending on parents' education and the extent to which such inequalities are buffered by social policies. We find that while early inequalities are a fact of life in all six countries, the extent of those inequalities varies considerably. Moreover, the results suggest that social policy plays a role in moderating the influence of parental education on resources for children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is an effective treatment for inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, with good results reported for residual pulmonary hypertension (PH) after pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA). However, BPA is associated with complications, such as pulmonary artery perforation and vascular injury, which can lead to critical pulmonary hemorrhage requiring embolization and mechanical ventilation. Furthermore, the risk factors for occurrence of complications in BPA are unclear; therefore, this study aimed to evaluate predictors of procedural complications in BPA. METHODS In this retrospective study, we collected clinical data (patient characteristics, details of medical therapy, hemodynamic parameters, and details of the BPA procedure) from 321 consecutive sessions involving 81 patients who underwent BPA. Procedural complications were evaluated as endpoints. RESULTS BPA for residual PH after PEA was performed in 141 sessions (43.9 %), which involved 37 patients. Procedural complications were observed in 79 sessions (24.6 %), including severe pulmonary hemorrhage requiring embolization in 29 sessions (9.0 % of all sessions). No patients experienced severe complications requiring intubation with mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Age ≥ 75 years and mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥ 30 mmHg were independent predictors of procedural complications. Residual PH after PEA was a significant predictor of severe pulmonary hemorrhage requiring embolization (adjusted odds ratio, 3.048; 95 % confidence interval, 1.042-8.914, p = 0.042). CONCLUSIONS Older age, high pulmonary artery pressure, and residual PH after PEA increase the risk of severe pulmonary hemorrhage requiring embolization in BPA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis (PPS) refers to stenosis of the pulmonary artery from the trunk to the peripheral arteries. Although paediatric PPS is well described, the clinical characteristics of adult-onset idiopathic PPS have not been established. Our objectives in this study were to characterise the disease profile of adult-onset PPS. METHODS We collected data in Japanese centres. This cohort included patients who underwent pulmonary angiography (PAG) and excluded patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension or Takayasu arteritis. Patient backgrounds, right heart catheterisation (RHC) findings, imaging findings and treatment profiles were collected. RESULTS 44 patients (median (interquartile range) age 39 (29-57) years; 29 females (65.9%)) with PPS were enrolled from 20 centres. In PAG, stenosis of segmental and peripheral pulmonary arteries was observed in 41 (93.2%) and 36 patients (81.8%), respectively. 35 patients (79.5%) received medications approved for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and 22 patients (50.0%) received combination therapy. 25 patients (56.8%) underwent transcatheter pulmonary angioplasty. RHC data showed improvements in both mean pulmonary arterial pressure (44 versus 40 mmHg; p<0.001) and pulmonary vascular resistance (760 versus 514 dyn·s·cm-5; p<0.001) from baseline to final follow-up. The 3-, 5- and 10-year survival rates of patients with PPS were 97.5% (95% CI 83.5-99.6%), 89.0% (95% CI 68.9-96.4%) and 67.0% (95% CI 41.4-83.3%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this study, patients with adult-onset idiopathic PPS presented with segmental and peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis. Although patients had severe pulmonary hypertension at baseline, they showed a favourable treatment response to PAH drugs combined with transcatheter pulmonary angioplasty.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This post hoc subanalysis aimed to investigate the impact of polyvascular disease (PolyVD) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the contemporary era of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods and Results: The Japan Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry (JAMIR), a multicenter prospective registry, enrolled 3,411 patients with AMI between December 2015 and May 2017. Patients were classified according to complications of a prior stroke and/or peripheral artery disease into an AMI-only group (involvement of 1 vascular bed [1-bed group]; n=2,980), PolyVD with one of the complications (2-bed group; n=383), and PolyVD with both complications (3-bed group; n=48). The primary endpoint was all-cause death. Secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, and major bleeding. In the 1-, 2-, and 3-bed groups, the cumulative incidence of all-cause death was 6.8%, 17.5%, and 23.7%, respectively (P<0.001); that of MACE was 7.4%, 16.4%, and 33.8% (P<0.001), respectively; and that of major bleeding was 4.8%, 10.0%, and 13.9% (P<0.001), respectively. PolyVD was independently associated with all-cause death (hazard ratio [HR] 2.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.48-3.29), MACE (HR 2.07; 95% CI 1.40-3.07), and major bleeding (HR 1.68; 95% CI 1.04-2.71). CONCLUSIONS PolyVD was significantly associated with worse outcomes, including thrombotic and bleeding events, in the contemporary era of PCI in AMI patients.

Abstract
The fractional flow reserve (FFR) cut-off values of 0.75 or 0.8 have been widely used; however, whether they apply to patients on hemodialysis remains unknown. We aimed to investigate the cut-off value of FFR associated with clinical outcomes in patients on hemodialysis. Using the Japanese multicenter registry, we analyzed data of patients on hemodialysis with measured FFR between January 2010 and December 2016. Survival classification and regression tree analysis for the composite primary outcome of cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, and target vessel revascularization revealed a threshold FFR of 0.83. Multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed for the clinical outcomes. Additionally, the primary outcome was analyzed using propensity score matching by dividing the patients into complete and incomplete revascularization groups according to the presence of residual lesions with an FFR of ≤0.83 after the intervention. Of the 212 included patients, 112 (52.8%) had lesions with an FFR of ≤0.83. After adjusting for confounders, an FFR of ≤0.83 was associated with a higher risk for the primary outcome (adjusted hazard ratio 2.01, 95% confidence interval 1.11 to 3.66, p = 0.021). Propensity score matching showed that complete revascularization for lesions with an FFR of ≤0.83 was associated with a reduced risk for the primary outcome compared with incomplete revascularization (hazard ratio 0.38, 95% confidence interval 0.20 to 0.71, log-rank p = 0.0016). In conclusion, an FFR of ≤0.83 was an independent predictor of clinical events in patients on hemodialysis. Furthermore, complete revascularization was associated with better clinical outcomes. Thus, this population may require a distinct FFR cut-off value.

Abstract
Background The prognostic impact of optical coherence tomography-diagnosed culprit lesion morphology in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has not been systematically examined in real-world settings. Methods and Results This investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter, observational study was conducted at 22 Japanese hospitals to identify the prevalence of underlying ACS causes (plaque rupture [PR], plaque erosion [PE], and calcified nodules [CN]) and their impact on clinical outcomes. Patients with ACS diagnosed within 24 hours of symptom onset undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled. Optical coherence tomography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention recipients were assessed for underlying ACS causes and followed up for major adverse cardiac events (cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, heart failure, or ischemia-driven revascularization) at 1 year. Of 1702 patients with ACS, 702 (40.7%) underwent optical coherence tomography-guided percutaneous coronary intervention for analysis. PR, PE, and CN prevalence was 59.1%, 25.6%, and 4.0%, respectively. One-year major adverse cardiac events occurred most frequently in patients with CN (32.1%), followed by PR (12.4%) and PE (6.2%) (log-rank P<0.0001), primarily driven by increased cardiovascular death (CN, 25.0%; PR, 0.7%; PE, 1.1%; log-rank P<0.0001) and heart failure trend (CN, 7.1%; PR, 6.8%; PE, 2.2%; log-rank P<0.075). On multivariate Cox regression analysis, the underlying ACS cause was associated with 1-year major adverse cardiac events (CN [hazard ratio (HR), 4.49 [95% CI, 1.35-14.89], P=0.014]; PR (HR, 2.18 [95% CI, 1.05-4.53], P=0.036]; PE as reference). Conclusions Despite being the least common, CN was a clinically significant underlying ACS cause, associated with the highest future major adverse cardiac events risk, followed by PR and PE. Future studies should evaluate the possibility of ACS underlying cause-based optical coherence tomography-guided optimization.

Abstract
Background Electrocardiogram-gated cardiac computed tomography (CT) imaging enables a more accurate understanding of the patient's cardiac anatomy. Preoperative planning for transaortic septal myectomy (TASM), based on cardiac CT, may be useful in patients with subaortic septal hypertrophy associated with severe aortic stenosis (AS). Case summary Two elderly patients (age >80 years) with subaortic septal hypertrophy associated with AS underwent surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and concomitant TASM after preoperative planning based on cardiac CT. Both patients showed subaortic septal hypertrophy with blood flow acceleration, left ventricular (LV) hypercontractility, and a short distance from the coaptation point of the mitral valve to the septum, resulting in possible dynamic LV outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction after resolution of AS. Optimal mid-diastolic images, selected from the 70-80% phase, were used for preoperative TASM planning. Planned sizes for myectomy based on multi-planar reconstruction were 10 × 26 × 9 mm (width × length × depth) and 10 × 25 × 9 mm for patient 1 and 2, respectively, while resected tissue size was 10 × 24 × 8 mm and 9 × 24 × 8 mm in patient 1 and 2, respectively. After TASM procedure, SAVR was performed with bioprosthetic valve. Postoperative course of both patients was uneventful with no evidence of complete atrioventricular block, septal perforation, or blood flow acceleration at the LVOT. Discussion Preoperative planning based on cardiac CT images is safe and useful for guiding adequate myectomy and preventing associated complications in patients with subaortic septal hypertrophy associated with AS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) commonly have multiple comorbidities, and some die in hospitals due to causes other than cardiac complications. However, limited information is available on noncardiac death in patients hospitalised for AMI. Therefore, the present study was performed to determine the incidence, annual trend, clinical characteristics, and predictors of in-hospital non-cardiac death in patients with AMI using the Tokyo Cardiovascular Care Unit (CCU) network registry. METHODS The registry included 38,589 consecutive patients with AMI who were admitted to the CCU between 2010 and 2019. The primary endpoint was in-hospital noncardiac death. Further, predictors of cardiac and non-cardiac death were identified. RESULTS The incidence of all-cause in-hospital mortality was 7.0% (n = 2700), and the proportion of mortality was 15.6% (n = 420) and 84.4% (n = 2280) for noncardiac and cardiac causes, respectively. The proportion of noncardiac deaths did not change annually over the last decade (p = 0.66). After adjusting for all variables, age, Killip classification grade, peak creatine kinase, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, and C-reactive protein were common predictors of cardiac and non-cardiac deaths. Indicators of malnutrition, such as lower body mass index (kg/m2) [odds 0.94, 95%CI (0.90-0.97), p < 0.001] and serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level (per 10 mg/dl) [odds 0.92, 95%CI (0.89-0.96), p < 0.001] were the specific predictors for non-cardiac deaths. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of in-hospital noncardiac death was significant in patients with AMI, accounting for 15.6% of all in-hospital mortalities. Thus, prevention and management of non-cardiac complications are vital to improve acute-phase outcomes, especially those with predictors of non-cardiac death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) requires lifelong anticoagulation. Long-term outcome of CTEPH under current anticoagulants is unclear. OBJECTIVE CTEPH AC Registry is a prospective, nationwide cohort study comparing the safety and effectiveness of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and warfarin for CTEPH. PATIENTS/METHODS CTEPH patients, both treatment naïve and on treatment, were eligible for the Registry. Inclusion criteria were patients aged ≥20 years, diagnosed with CTEPH according to standard guidelines. Exclusion criteria were not specified. Primary efficacy outcome was a composite morbidity and mortality outcome comprising all-cause death, rescue reperfusion therapy, initiation of parenteral pulmonary vasodilators, and worsened 6-minute walk distance and WHO functional class. Safety outcome was clinically relevant bleeding including major bleeding. RESULTS 927 patients on oral anticoagulants at baseline were analysed; 481 (52%) used DOACs and 446 (48%) used warfarin. The 1-, 2-, 3-year rates of composite morbidity and mortality outcome were comparable between DOACs and warfarin groups (2.6%, 3.1%, 4.2% vs 3.0%, 4.8%, 5.9%, p = 0.52). The 1-, 2-, 3-year rates of clinically relevant bleeding were significantly lower in DOACs than in warfarin group (0.8%, 2.4%, 2.4% vs 2.5%, 4.8%, 6.4%, p = 0.036). Multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression models revealed lower risk of clinically relevant bleeding in DOACs group compared to warfarin group (hazard ratio 0.35, 95% CI 0.13-0.91; p = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS This Registry demonstrated that under current standard of care, morbidity and mortality events were effectively prevented regardless of anticoagulants, while clinically relevant bleeding rate was lower when using DOACs compared with warfarin.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our goal was to evaluate the combined effects of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) followed by pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) to treat high-surgical-risk patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). METHODS This study included 58 patients with CTEPH who had pulmonary vascular resistance of ≥1000 dyn·s/cm5, mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) of ≥45 mmHg or mPAP of 38-44 mmHg with comorbidities. Of these, 21 patients underwent the combined therapy of BPA followed by PEA (BPA group) and 37 underwent direct PEA (non-BPA group). Preoperative and postoperative results were compared between the 2 groups. An early postoperative composite event comprised the postoperative use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or intra-aortic balloon pump, in-hospital death, rescue BPA, prolonged ventilation, tracheostomy, prolonged stay in the intensive care unit, deep sternal wound infection and cerebral infarction. RESULTS Before the first intervention (before BPA or direct PEA), patients in the BPA group had a higher mPAP than those in the non-BPA group. After undergoing BPA before PEA, the BPA group demonstrated significantly decreased mPAP and pulmonary vascular resistance (43 vs 52 mmHg, P < 0.001; 636 vs 965 dyn·s/cm5, P = 0.003, respectively) and significantly increased cardiac output (4.1 vs 3.5 l/min, P = 0.041). Notably, the number of patients with the early postoperative composite event was significantly lower in the BPA group than in the non-BPA group (4.8% vs 35.1%, P = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS Compared with direct PEA, the combination therapy of BPA followed by PEA can be a feasible and effective risk-reduction strategy for high-surgical-risk patients with CTEPH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While there is a discordance between fractional flow reserve (FFR) and non-hyperemic pressure ratios (NHPRs) in some cases, the mechanisms underlying these discordances have not yet been fully clarified. We examined whether vascular damage as assessed by measurement of the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), a marker of arterial stiffness, or ankle brachial pressure index (ABI), a marker of atherosclerotic arterial stenosis, might be associated with their discordances. METHODS FFR and NHPRs were measured in 283 consecutive patients (69 ± 10 years old). Based on previously established cut-off values of the two markers (i.e. +/- = FFR ≤/> 0.80 or =NHPRs ≤/> 0.89), the study participants were divided into four groups (the + and - signs denoting "predictive of significant stenosis" and "not predictive of significant stenosis," respectively): the FFR+/NHPRs+ group (n = 124), FFR-/NHPRs+ group (n = 16), FFR+/NHPRs- group(n = 65), and FFR-/NHPRs- group (n = 78). The baPWV and ABI were also measured in all the participants, and values of <2000 cm/s and ≥1.00 of the baPWV and ABI, respectively, were considered as representing relatively less advanced atherosclerotic systemic vascular damage. RESULTS The prevalence of subjects with ABI ≥1.00 was higher in the FFR+/NHPRs- group than in the FFR-/NHPRs- group (p < 0.05). When the study subjects were divided into 2 groups, namely, the FFR+/NHPRs- group and the combined group, the prevalence of ABI ≥1.00 and that of baPWV <2000 cm/s were higher in the FFR+/NHPRs- group as compared with those in the combined group (p < 0.05). The results of binary logistic regression analysis demonstrated that ABI ≥1.00 was associated with a significant odds ratio (2.34, p < 0.05) for the FFR+/NHPRs- discordance. CONCLUSION The FFR+/NHPRs- discordance appears to be observed in patients with relatively less advanced atherosclerotic systemic vascular damage. Thus, ABI ≥1.00 may be a marker of the presence of the FFR+/NHPRs- discordance.

Abstract
Background The mortality rate of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has improved dramatically because of reperfusion therapy during the last 40 years; however, recent temporal trends for AMI have not been fully clarified in Japan. Objectives The purpose of this study was to elucidate the temporary trend in in-hospital mortality and treatment of AMI for the last decade in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. Methods We enrolled 30,553 patients from the Tokyo Cardiovascular Care Unit Network Registry, diagnosed with AMI from 2007 to 2016, as part of an ongoing, multicenter, cohort study. We analyzed the temporal trends in basic characteristics, treatment, and in-hospital mortality of AMI. Results The overall emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) rate significantly increased (P < 0.001). In particular, it remarkably increased in patients older than 80 years of age (58.3% to 70.3%, P < 0.001) and patients with Killip III or IV (Killip III, 46.9% to 65.7%; Killip IV, 65.2% to 76.6%, P < 0.001 for both). The crude and age-adjusted in-hospital mortality remained low (5.2% to 8.2% and 3.4% to 5.5%, respectively) and significantly decreased during the decade (P < 0.001). The in-hospital mortality remarkably decreased in patients older than 80 years of age (17.3% to 12.7%, P < 0.001) and in those with cardiogenic shock (38.5% to 27.3%, P < 0.001). Conclusions This large cohort study from Tokyo revealed that in-hospital mortality of AMI significantly decreased with the increase in emergency percutaneous coronary intervention rate over the decade, particularly for high-risk patients such as older patients and those with cardiogenic shock.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent retrospective investigations have suggested that optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables the diagnosis of underlying acute coronary syndrome (ACS) causes such as plaque rupture, plaque erosion, and calcified nodule. The relationships of these etiologies with clinical outcomes, and the clinical utility of OCT-guided primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are not systematically studied in real-world ACS treatment settings. METHODS The TACTICS registry is an investigator-initiated, prospective, multicenter, observational study to be conducted at 21 hospitals in Japan. A total of 700 patients with ACS (symptom onset within 24 h) undergoing OCT-guided primary PCI will be enrolled. The primary endpoint of the study is to identify the underlying causes of ACS using OCT-defined morphological assessment of the culprit lesion. The key secondary clinical endpoints are hazard ratios of the composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, heart failure, or ischemia-driven revascularization in patients with underlying etiologies at the 12- and 24-month follow-ups. The feasibility of OCT-guided primary PCI for ACS will be assessed by the achievement rates of optimal post-procedural results and safety endpoints. CONCLUSION The TACTICS registry will provide an overview of the underlying causes of ACS using OCT, and will reveal any difference in clinical outcomes depending on the underlying causes. The registry will also inform on the feasibility of OCT-guided primary PCI for patients with ACS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with low body mass index (BMI) exhibit worse clinical outcomes than obese patients; however, to our knowledge, no prospective, nationwide study has assessed the effect of BMI on the clinical outcomes of AMI patients.Methods and Results:In this multi-center, prospective, nationwide Japanese trial, 2,373 AMI patients who underwent emergent percutaneous coronary intervention within 12 h of onset from the Japanese AMI Registry (JAMIR) were identified. Patients were divided into the following 4 groups based on their BMI at admission: Q1 group (BMI <18.5 kg/m2, n=133), Q2 group (18.5≤BMI<25.0 kg/m2, n=1,424), Q3 group (25.0≤BMI<30.0 kg/m2, n=672), and Q4 group (30.0 kg/m2≤BMI, n=144). The primary endpoint was all-cause death, and the secondary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), and non-fatal stroke. The median follow-up period was 358 days. Q1 patients were older and had lower prevalence of coronary risk factors. Q1 patients also had higher all-cause mortality and higher incidence of secondary endpoints than normal-weight or obese AMI patients. Multivariate analysis showed that low BMI (Q1 group) was an independent predictor for primary endpoint. CONCLUSIONS AMI patients with low BMI had fewer coronary risk factors but worse clinical outcomes than normal-weight or obese patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although the presence of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP-mismatch, the reverse redistribution (RR) of 99mTc-sestamibi and RR of 123I-BMIPP in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are known to significant markers for predicting the improvement of LV wall motion in the infarcted territory in chronic phase, few studies were performed to analyze them by simultaneous dual-isotope imaging using cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) SPECT system.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the presence of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP-mismatch or RR of 99mTc-sestamibi, RR of 123I-BMIPP make better prediction of the improvement of LV wall motion in the infarcted territory.
Methods
We evaluated 42 consecutive patients with AMI who had undergone both dual-isotope SPECT in acute phase and stress myocardial SPECT using 99mTc-tracers in chronic phase by Discovery NM530c. The presence of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP-mismatch, RR of 99mTc-sestamibi and RR of 123I-BMIPP were determined using traditional definition. The improvement of LV wall motion in the infarcted territory from acute phase to chronic phase was assessed using QGS.
Results
Of 42 patients, the improvement of LV wall motion in the infarcted territory from acute phase to chronic phase was found in 29 patients. The presence of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP-mismatch and RR of 99mTc-sestamibi and RR of 123I-BMIPP were significantly linked to predict the improvement of LV wall motion (p=0.0001, p=0.0001 and p=0.002, respectively). To predict the improvement of LV wall motion in the infarcted territory in chronic phase, the presence of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP-mismatch showed sensitivity of 93%, specificity of 85% and accuracy of 91%, while RR of 99mTc-sestamibi and RR of 123I-BMIPP had sensitivities of 72%, 48%, specificities of 85%, 100% and accuracies of 76%, 64%, respectively. The multivariate discriminant analysis revealed that the combination of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP-mismatch, RR of 99mTc-sestamibi and RR of 123I-BMIPP best predicted the improvement of LV wall motion in the infarcted territory in chronic phase with sensitivity of 93%, specificity of 85% and accuracy of 91% (chi-square=40.6), compared with RR of 99mTc-sestamibi and RR of 123I-BMIPP only (sensitivity 79%, specificity 85% and accuracy of 81%, chi-square=16.9).
Conclusions
The addition of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP-mismatch on RR of 99mTc-sestamibi and RR of 123I-BMIPP in patients with AMI, help better predict the improvement of LV wall motion in the infarcted territory in chronic phase.

Abstract
Background In the resting conditions, narrowing the window of coronary pressure measurements from the whole cardiac cycle to diastole improves diagnostic performance of coronary pressure–derived physiological index. However, whether this also applies to the hyperemic conditions has not yet been thoroughly evaluated. Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess whether diastolic fractional flow reserve (diastolic FFR) has better diagnostic performance in identifying ischemia-causing coronary lesions than conventional FFR in a prospective, multicenter, and independent core laboratory–based environment. Methods In this prospective multicenter registry at 29 Japanese centers, we compared the diagnostic performance of FFR, diastolic FFR, resting distal to aortic coronary pressure (Pd/Pa), and diastolic pressure ratio (dPR) using myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) as the reference standard in 378 patients with single-vessel coronary disease. Results Inducible myocardial ischemia was found on MPS in the relevant myocardial territory of the target vessel in 85 patients (22%). In the receiver-operating curve analyses, diastolic FFR had comparable area under the curve (AUC) compared with FFR (AUCdiastolic FFR: 0.66; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.58-0.73, vs AUCFFR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.58-0.74, P = 0.624). FFR and diastolic FFR showed significantly larger AUCs than resting Pd/Pa (0.62; 95% CI: 0.54-0.70; P = 0.033 and P = 0.046) but did not show significantly larger AUCs than dPR (0.62; 95% CI: 0.55-0.70; P = 0.102 and P = 0.113). Conclusions Diastolic FFR showed a similar diagnostic performance to FFR as compared with MPS. This result reaffirms the use of FFR as the most accurate invasive physiological lesion assessment.

Abstract
Many studies have revealed numerous potential biomarkers for atherosclerosis, but tissue-specific biomarkers are still needed. Recent lineage-tracing studies revealed that smooth muscle cells (SMCs) contribute substantially to plaque formation, and the loss of SMCs causes plaque vulnerability. We investigated the association of SMC-specific myosin heavy chain 11 (myosin-11) with atherosclerosis. Forty-five patients with atherosclerosis and 34 control subjects were recruited into our study. In the atherosclerosis patients, 35 patients had either coronary artery disease (CAD) or peripheral artery disease (PAD), and 10 had both CAD and PAD. Coronary arteries isolated from five patients were subjected to histological study. Circulating myosin-11 levels were higher in the CAD or PAD group than in controls. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of myosin-11 was 0.954. Circulating myosin-11 levels in the CAD and PAD group were higher than in the CAD or PAD group, while high-sensitivity C-reactive protein concentrations did not differ between these groups. Multinomial logistic regression analyses showed a significant association of myosin-11 levels with the presence of multiple atherosclerotic regions. Myosin-11 was expressed in the medial layer of human atherosclerotic lesions where apoptosis elevated. Circulating myosin-11 levels may be useful for detecting spatial expansion of atherosclerotic regions.

Abstract
AIMS Anomalous origin of the coronary artery (AOCA) with an inter-arterial course (IAC) between the great vessels poses a risk for a life-threatening cardiovascular event. We assessed, in a registry-based study, the clinical features, treatment strategies, and prognoses of life-threatening cardiovascular events ensuant to AOCA. METHODS AND RESULTS Included were 65 AOCA patients (48 men/17 women, aged 41 ± 23 years) from 40 clinical centres who had experienced sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) (n = 30), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n = 5), angina (n = 23), or syncope (n = 7). The anomalous vessel was the right coronary artery in 72% of patients and left coronary artery in 28%; the ostium was slit-like in 42%. Coronary luminal narrowing ≥75% was absent in patients with SCA or syncope (86% and 57%, respectively), but occlusion or narrowing was seen in those with AMI (100%) or angina (52%). Age ≤40 years, male sex, sporting activity, absence of prodromal symptoms, acutely angled (≤30°) take-off from the aorta, and absence of luminal narrowing of the IAC segment were associated with SCA in this patient group. Coronary vasospasm was inducible in 12 of 17 patients without coronary narrowing. Management included surgical revascularization (n = 26) percutaneous coronary intervention (n = 9), and medical treatment (n = 26). Four SCA patients died while hospitalized; no others died during the median 5.0 (range, 1.8-7.0)-year follow-up period. CONCLUSIONS In patients with AOCA, age ≤40 years, male sex, sporting activity, and an acute take-off angle appear to be risk factors for SCA. Appropriate management can be beneficial. Confirmation in a large-scale study is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary endarterectomy (PEA) is the standard treatment for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), although some patients may experience residual pulmonary hypertension (PH). It is unclear whether balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) is effective for residual PH after PEA. This study aimed to compare the BPA outcomes between patients with residual PH after PEA and those with inoperable CTEPH. METHODS This retrospective study compared BPA for residual PH after PEA (25 patients, 101 BPA sessions) and BPA alone for inoperable CTEPH (21 patients, 89 BPA sessions). All patients underwent right heart catheterisation and functional and laboratory tests before PEA or before and after BPA. RESULTS There was no difference in the number of BPA sessions per patient (4.0 ± 1.9 vs. 4.2 ± 1.9, p = 0.671). No significant differences were observed with respect to the mean pulmonary artery pressure (23.6 ± 9.1 vs. 21.9 ± 5.7 mmHg, p = 0.44), pulmonary vascular resistance (3.7 ± 0.5 vs. 2.8 ± 1.2 Wood units, p = 0.14), 6-min walking distance (392.1 ± 117.7 vs. 452.4 ± 90.1 m, p = 0.096), and World Health Organization functional class (I/II/III/IV: 14/11/0/0 vs. 9/12/0/0, p = 0.375). Severe haemoptysis requiring embolisation was more common in the PH after PEA group (16.0% vs. 5.4%, p = 0.018). However, no patients required mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and there were no procedural deaths. CONCLUSION Although BPA might be effective for residual PH after PEA, it was associated with a high rate of haemoptysis.

Abstract
The first electrochemical synthesis of diarylphosphole oxides (DPOs) was achieved under mild conditions. The practical protocol employs commercially available and inexpensive DABCO as a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) mediator, leading to various DPOs in moderate to good yields. This procedure can also be applied to the synthesis of six-membered phosphacycles, such as phenophosphazine derivatives. Mechanistic studies suggested that the reaction proceeds via an electro-generated phosphinyl radical.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risks of bleeding and cardiovascular events in high bleeding risk (HBR) Japanese patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) while receiving single-antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate the frequency of bleeding and cardiovascular events associated with prasugrel monotherapy after short-term dual-antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in Japanese HBR patients after PCI.Methods and Results:The PENDULUM mono study was a multicenter, non-interventional, prospective registry (n=1,173). The primary endpoint was the cumulative incidence of clinically relevant bleeding (CRB; Bleeding Academic Research Consortium types 2, 3, and 5) from 1 to 12 months after PCI. Secondary endpoints included major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). The proportion of patients who received prasugrel monotherapy at 12 months after PCI was 79.7%, and no cases of stent thrombosis were observed among these patients. The cumulative incidence of CRB was 3.2% from 1 to 12 months after PCI; that of MACCE was 3.8%. Severe anemia, chronic kidney disease, oral anticoagulant use at discharge, and heart failure were significantly associated with CRB. CONCLUSIONS Among HBR patients undergoing PCI who were not suitable for concomitant aspirin and were scheduled for prasugrel monotherapy, most patients were on prasugrel monotherapy after DAPT. Cumulative incidences of CRB and MACCE after periprocedural period were 3.2% and 3.8%, respectively, and no cases of stent thrombosis were reported. SAPT might be a suitable alternative to DAPT.

Abstract
Background/Introduction
Although both the presence of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP mismatch and the reverse redistribution of 99mTc-sestamibi in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are known to significant markers for predicting the improvement of left ventricular (LV) wall motion in the infarcted territory in chronic phase, few studies evaluated them by simultaneous dual-isotope (99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP) imaging using cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) SPECT system.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the presence of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP mismatch or the reverse redistribution of 99mTc-sestamibi make better prediction of the improvement of LV wall motion in the infarcted territory.
Methods
We evaluated 30 consecutive patients with AMI who had undergone both dual-isotope (99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP) SPECT in acute phase and stress myocardial SPECT using 99mTc-tracers in chronic phase by Discovery NM530c. Both 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP mismatch and reverse redistribution of 99mTc-sestamibi were determined using traditional definition. The improvement of LV wall motion in the infarcted territory from acute phase to chronic phase was assessed using QGS.
Results
Of 30 patients, the improvement of LV wall motion in the infarcted territory from acute phase to chronic phase was found in 20 patients. Both the presence of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP mismatch and reverse redistribution of 99mTc-sestamibi were significantly linked to predict the improvement of LV wall motion (p=0.0001, p=0.011, respectively). The respective sensitivities, specificities and accuracies in the prediction of the improvement of LV wall motion in the infarcted territory were 90%, 90% and 90% with 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP mismatch, and 60%, 90%, 70% with reverse redistribution of 99mTc-sestamibi.
Conclusions
In the simultaneous 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP dual-isotope imaging using CZT SPECT system, both the presence of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP mismatch and the reverse redistribution of 99mTc-sestamibi in acute phase are useful for predicting the improvement of LV wall motion in chronic phase, but the presence of 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP mismatch is superior to the reverse redistribution of 99mTc-sestamibi for it.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
It is known that the early coronary revascularization in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) was associated with favorable clinical outcomes. However, it is still unclear whether this efficacy is equivalent over all the ages of the patients.
Methods
Patients with NSTEMI were screened from the database of the Tokyo CCU network registry. Of those, the patients treated without revascularization (medical treatment) were matched with the patients receiving revascularization by propensity score matching. The probabilities of in-hospital death were calculated in the logistic regression model. In two subgroups stratified according to median of the age (elderly and non-elderly subgroups), the odds ratios of revascularization for in-hospital death were calculated.
Results
In the patients registered between 2013 and 2017, 4,851 patients with NSTEMI were identified. After the screening, 370 patients with medical treatment were matched with 370 patients treated with revascularization. The incidence of in-hospital death was significantly higher in the patients with medical treatment (20.3% vs 13.0%, P=0.01). The two probability curves of in-hospital death in patients with and without revascularization converged as age increased. In the elderly subgroup, the revascularization was not significantly associated with favorable outcome of mortality, whereas it had a significant impact on mortality in the non-elderly subgroup (odds ratio: 0.47 [95% CI 0.23–0.95]).
Conclusion
The impact of revascularization on short-term mortality in patients with NSTEMI tended to be reduced as age increased.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
The objective of this study was to determine the optimal cut-off value of % uptake of simultaneous dual-isotope (99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP) SPECT in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) for prediction of myocardial viability in chronic phase.
Methods
We evaluated 30 consecutive patients with AMI who had undergone both dual-SPECT in acute phase and stress myocardial SPECT using 99mTc-tracers in chronic phase by Discovery NM530c. Regional % uptake with a 17-segment model was obtained using QPS software. The presence of myocardial viability was defined when regional % uptake ≥50% in 99mTc SPECT at rest in chronic phase was observed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were analyzed to determine the optimal cutoff values of regional % uptake in both left anterior descending artery (LAD) territory and non-LAD coronary territory in acute phase to predict the myocardial viability in chronic phase.
Results
The cutoff values for prediction of viable myocardium were %uptake ≥47% for 99mTc-sestamibi, %uptake ≥31% for 123I-BMIPP in acute phase in LAD territory and %uptake ≥52% for 99mTc-sestamibi, %uptake ≥48% for 123I-BMIPP in non-LAD territory. The respective sensitivities, specificities and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) values in the prediction of myocardial viability were 92%, 92% and 0.94 with 99mTc-sestamibi, 90%, 85%, 0.92 with 123I-BMIPP in LAD territory, and 81%, 93% and 0.92 with 99mTc-sestamibi, 81%, 90%, 0.92 with 123I-BMIPP in non-LAD territory. There were no significant differences in AUC values between 99mTc-sestamibi and 123I-BMIPP in both LAD territory and non-LAD coronary territory.
Conclusions
In the simultaneous 99mTc-sestamibi/123I-BMIPP dual-isotope imaging in patients with AMI, these results suggest that not only 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT, but also 123I-BMIPP SPECT may be possible to predict the presence of myocardial viability in chronic phase. But it should be noted that the optimal cutoff values of regional % uptake in acute phase to predict the myocardial viability may differ for LAD territory and non-LAD coronary territory.

Abstract
Background
It is known that low diastolic blood pressure (DBP) is associated with long-term cardiovascular events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the impact of low diastolic blood pressure on short-term outcome has not yet been well investigated.
Methods and results
We included 15,208 patients who were hospitalized for AMI and registered in the Tokyo CCU network registry between 2013 and 2016. Thirty-day in-hospital mortality rate was 4.8% (728/15,208). To assess the relationship between DBP at the time of admission and 30-day mortality non-linearly, spline regression model was applied with the stratification of the cohort according to tercile of systolic blood pressure (SBP, low:≤122 mmHg, intermediate:123–148 mmHg, high:≥149 mmHg) and J-curve phenomenon was observed in the low and high SBP groups. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, adjusted odds ratio of the lowest quintile of DBP (≤64 mmHg) was 1.65 (95% CI:1.02–2.66) in low SBP group and 4.55 (95% CI:1.72–12.00) in high SBP group.
Conclusion
Low DBP was associated with increased 30-day in-hospital mortality rate after AMI even in patients with high SBP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Characteristics and treatment outcomes of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients have been studied; however, those of recent myocardial infarction (RMI) patients remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify characteristics, treatment strategy, and in-hospital outcomes of RMI patients in the Tokyo CCU network database.Methods and Results:In total, 1,853 RMI and 12,494 AMI patients from the Tokyo CCU network database during 2013-2016 were compared. Both RMI and AMI were redefined by onset times of 2-28 days and ≤24 h, respectively. The RMI group had a higher average age (70.4±12.9 vs. 68.0±13.4 years, P<0.001), more women (27.6% vs. 23.6%, P<0.001), lower proportion of patients with chest pain as the chief complaint (75.2% vs. 83.6%, P<0.001), higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus (35.9% vs. 31.0%, P<0.001), and higher mechanical complication incidence (3.0% vs. 1.5%, P<0.001) than did the AMI group. Thirty-day mortality was comparable (5.3% vs. 5.8%, P=0.360); major causes of death were cardiogenic shock and mechanical complications in the AMI and RMI groups, respectively. Death from mechanical complications (not onset time) in the AMI group plateaued almost 1 week after hospitalization, whereas it continued to increase in the RMI group. CONCLUSIONS Both RMI and AMI patients have distinctive clinical features, sequelae, and causes of death. Although treatment of RMI patients adhered to guidelines, it was insufficient, and death from mechanical complications continues to increase.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although the patient's characteristics and outcome of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have been sufficiently investigated and primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been recognized as established treatment strategy, those of recent myocardial infarction (RMI) have not been fully evaluated.
Purpose
The purpose of the present study was to clarify clinical characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of RMI patients from the database of the Tokyo CCU network multicenter registry.
Methods
In Tokyo CCU network multicenter registry database from 2013 to 2016, 15788 consecutive patients were registered as AMI (within 24 hours from onset) and RMI (within 2–30 days from onset). However 1246 patients were excluded because of inadequate data. And we excluded 66 cases because of out of onset period and 129 cases that strongly suspected of involvement of vasospastic events. Therefore, remaining 14347 patients were categorized to RMI group (n=1853) and AMI group (n=12494), and analyzed.
Results
Compared with AMI group, average age was older (70.4±12.9 vs 68.0±13.4 years, p<0.001), male was less (72.4 vs 76.4%, p<0.001), chest pain as chief complaint was less (75.2 vs 83.6%, p<0.001), prevalence of diabetes mellitus was higher (35.9 vs 31.0%, p<0.001), multi-vessel coronary disease was more (54.7 vs 44.6%, p<0.001), patients undergoing PCI was less (79.0 vs 91.2%, p<0.001), and the incidence of mechanical complication was more in RMI group (3.0 vs 1.5%, p<0.001). Although 30-day mortality was equivalent between 2 groups (5.3 vs 5.8%, p=0.360), the major cause of death in AMI group was cardiogenic shock, while in the RMI group it was a mechanical complication. On Kaplan-Meier analysis, the 2 groups had significantly different cumulative incidence of death due to cardiogenic shock (p=0.006, Log-rank test) and mechanical complication (p=0.021, Log-rank test). Furthermore death due to mechanical complication in AMI group was plateau after about 1 week from hospitalization, whereas in RMI group it continued to increase.
Kaplan-Meier analysis
Conclusions
RMI patients had distinctive clinical features in backgrounds and treatment strategies compared with AMI patients, and the major cause of death of RMI patients was different from that of AMI patients. Furthermore, even though treatment during hospitalization of RMI patients was well done, death due to mechanical complications continued to increase.

Abstract
PURPOSE The carbohydrate sialyl LewisX (sLeX) mediates cell adhesion, is critical in the normal function of immune cells, and is frequently over-expressed on cancer cells. We assessed the association, differential levels, and prognostic value of sLeX and inflammatory cytokines/chemokines in breast cancer sera. METHODS We retrospectively measured sLeX and a panel of cytokines/chemokines in the sera of 26 non-invasive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), 154 invasive non-metastatic breast cancer (non-MBC), 63 metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients, and 43 healthy controls. Differences in sLeX and inflammatory cytokines among and between patient groups and healthy controls were assessed with nonparametric tests and we performed survival analysis for the prognostic potential of sLeX using a cut-off of 8 U/mL as previously defined. RESULTS Median serum sLeX was significantly higher than controls for invasive breast cancer patients (MBC and non-MBC) but not DCIS. In univariate analysis, we confirmed patients with serum sLeX > 8 U/mL have a significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) (P = 0.0074) and overall survival (OS (P = 0.0003). Similarly, patients with high serum MCP-1 and IP-10 had shorter OS (P = 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively) and PFS (P = 0.010 and P < 0.001, respectively). sLeX, MCP-1 and IP-10 remained significant in multivariate survival analysis. CONCLUSION Elevated serum sLeX was associated with invasive cancer but not DCIS. High serum sLeX levels were associated with inflammatory mediators and may play a role in facilitating local invasion of breast tumor. Furthermore, serum MCP-1, IP-10 and sLeX may have prognostic value in breast cancer.

Abstract
Ineffective oral wound healing is detrimental to patients' oral health-related quality of life. Delineating the cellular mechanisms involved in optimal healing will elicit better approaches to treating patients with compromised healing. Osteal macrophages have recently emerged as important positive regulators of bone turnover. The contributions of macrophages to long bone healing have been studied, but their role in oral osseous wound healing following tooth extraction is less clear. Clodronate-loaded liposomes were used as a tool to deplete macrophages in C57BL/6J mice and assess oral osseous bone fill after extraction. In addition to macrophage ablation, osteoclast ablation occurred. Interestingly, depletion of macrophages and osteoclasts via clodronate treatment had differential effects based on skeletal location. In the nonwounded tibiae, clodronate treatment significantly increased CD68+ cells and decreased F4/80+ cells in the marrow, which correlated with increased trabecular bone volume fraction after 7 and 14 d. Serum formation and resorptive markers P1NP and TRAcP 5b were decreased as were tibial TRAP+ osteoclasts. In healing extraction sockets, clodronate treatment increased extraction socket trabecular bone thickness at 14 d, which correlated with decreased TRAP+ osteoclasts and F4/80+ macrophages. Conversely, nonwounded maxillary interseptal bone was unaffected by clodronate treatment. Furthermore, the increase in extraction socket bone fill with clodronate was less than the large increase in trabecular bone observed in a nonwounded long bone. These data suggest a temporal and spatial specificity in the roles of macrophages and osteoclasts in normal turnover and healing.

Abstract
The diagnosis and appropriate treatment of cardiac lymphoma are often delayed by the difficulty in obtaining heart tissue biopsies. Intracardiac echocardiography-guided biopsy can improve the prognosis of cardiac lymphoma by decreasing postbiopsy complications and increasing biopsy quality, allowing collection of sufficient material for multilateral analysis.

Abstract
Multi-emitter fitting algorithms have been developed to improve the temporal resolution of single-molecule switching nanoscopy, but the molecular density range they can analyse is narrow and the computation required is intensive, significantly limiting their practical application. Here, we propose a computationally fast method, wedged template matching (WTM), an algorithm that uses a template matching technique to localise molecules at any overlapping molecular density from sparse to ultrahigh density with subdiffraction resolution. WTM achieves the localization of overlapping molecules at densities up to 600 molecules μm-2 with a high detection sensitivity and fast computational speed. WTM also shows localization precision comparable with that of DAOSTORM (an algorithm for high-density super-resolution microscopy), at densities up to 20 molecules μm-2 , and better than DAOSTORM at higher molecular densities. The application of WTM to a high-density biological sample image demonstrated that it resolved protein dynamics from live cell images with subdiffraction resolution and a temporal resolution of several hundred milliseconds or less through a significant reduction in the number of camera images required for a high-density reconstruction. WTM algorithm is a computationally fast, multi-emitter fitting algorithm that can analyse over a wide range of molecular densities. The algorithm is available through the website. https://doi.org/10.17632/bf3z6xpn5j.1.

Abstract
Background Recently, a simple parameter calculated from the brachial pressure waveform recorded using an oscillometric device (arterial velocity pulse index [AVI]: ratio of the forward/reflected pressure wave amplitudes) has become available to assess the pathophysiological abnormalities associated with vascular damage. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) represents one of the disease entities associated with the advanced stages of atherosclerotic vascular damage. The present study was conducted to examine whether an increase in the AVI might be influenced by the presence of PAD. Methods and Results The AVI was measured from oscillometric recordings of the brachial pressure waveform, and the ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) was determined by an oscillometric method. Study 1: In 341 consecutive patients admitted for the management of cardiovascular disease and/or cardiovascular risk factors, the ABPI and the AVI were measured simultaneously. An ABPI ≤0.90 was observed in 19 subjects, and logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between AVI and ABPI ≤0.90 (odds ratio = 1.81; 95% confidence interval = 1.15-2.84; p = 0.01). Study 2: In another 19 patients with PAD, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty resulted in a decrease in the AVI from 31 ± 8 to 27 ± 8 (p < 0.01). Conclusion Possible presence of PAD must be taken into account while applying the AVI for the assessment of vascular damage.

Abstract
Oxytocin, a mammalian neuropeptide primarily synthesised in the supraoptic and paraventricular nuclei of the hypothalamus, mediates a variety of physiological and behavioural processes, ranging from parturition and lactation to affiliation and prosociality. Multiple studies in rodents have shown that the expression of the oxytocin gene (Oxt) is stimulated by oestrogen, whereas androgen has no apparent effect. However, this finding is not consistent across all studies, and no study has examined sex steroid regulation of Oxt or its orthologues in other animals. In the present study, we show that, in the teleost fish, medaka (Oryzias latipes), the expression of the isotocin gene (it), the teleost orthologue of Oxt, in the parvocellular preoptic nuclei (homologous to the mammalian supraoptic nucleus) is male-specifically up-regulated by gonadal androgen, whereas it expression in the magnocellular/gigantocellular preoptic nuclei (homologous to the mammalian paraventricular nucleus) is independent of sex steroids in both sexes. None of the it-expressing neurones appear to co-express androgen receptors, suggesting that the effect of androgen on it expression is indirect. We found that the expression of a kisspeptin gene, kiss2, in the male brain is dependent on gonadal androgen, raising the possibility that the androgen-dependent expression of it may be mediated by kiss2 neurones. Our data also show that the isotocin peptide synthesised in response to androgen is axonally transported to the posterior pituitary to act peripherally. Given that levels of it expression are higher in females than in males, androgen may serve to compensate for the female-biased it expression to ensure a role for isotocin that is equally important for both sexes. These results are unexpectedly quite different from those reported in rodents, indicating that the regulatory role of sex steroids in Oxt/it expression has diverged during evolution, possibly with accompanying changes in the role of oxytocin/isotocin.
