Abstract
Inelastic x-ray scattering measurements have been carried out to investigate atomic dynamics in a melt of fast phase change material GeCu2Te3. The dynamic structure factor was analysed using the model function with three damped harmonic oscillator components. By investigating the correlation between the excitation energy and the linewidth, and that between the excitation energy and the intensity on contour maps of a relative approximate probability distribution function proportional toexp(-χ2/N), we could judge the reliability of each inelastic excitation in the dynamic structure factor. The results indicate that there are two inelastic excitation modes besides the longitudinal acoustic one in the liquid. The lower energy excitation could be assigned to the transverse acoustic one whereas the higher energy one disperses like fast sound. The latter result may imply that the liquid ternary alloy exhibits a microscopic phase separation tendency.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) has been used as a clinical measure of microvascular function. Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TDE) can provide information on the functional status of coronary artery circulation. This study aims to assess the diagnostic value of left-anterior-descending artery (LAD) flow velocity by TDE for microvascular dysfunction.
Methods
Consecutive patients who were scheduled for elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for LAD lesions were prospectively enrolled in the single tertiary-care center between April 2020 and July 2021. Pre-PCI LAD diastolic peak velocity (DPV) by TDE at rest and hyperemia were measured. By invasive coronary angiography, quantitative coronary angiography and invasive wire-based physiological indices including fractional flow reserve (FFR) and index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) were measured.
Results
A total of 104 patients were studied. Median FFR and IMR values were 0.70 (0.60–0.74) and 20.68 (14.92–31.69), respectively. No significant relationship was observed between FFR and IMR. The prevalence of microvascular dysfunction defined as IMR≥25 was 39.4%. Basal DPV was 25 (20–33) cm/sec, and hyperemic DPV was 51 (41–67) cm/sec. In lesions with IMR≥25, reference diameter (RD) was significantly greater [2.63 (2.22–3.19) mm vs 2.39 (2.09–2.66) mm, p=0.019], basal DPV was lower [26 (18–29) cm/sec vs 29 (22–37) cm/sec, p=0.022)] and hyperemic DPV was lower [49 (19–54) cm/sec vs 56 (42–70) cm/sec, p=0.023] compared to lesions with IMR<25. ROC analysis showed basal DPV and RD are significant predictors of IMR≥25 [basal DPV: AUC 0.633 (0.525–0.742), best cutoff 29cm/sec RD: AUC 0.636 (0.523–0.750), best cutoff 2.84mm]. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed basal DPV<29cm/sec and RD>2.84mm are independent predictors for IMR≥25 [Odds ratio: 3.08 (1.22–7.78), p=0.017; odds ratio 4.40 (1.55–12.50), p=0.005].
Conclusion
Basal DPV by non-invasive pre-PCI TDE and reference diameter can predict lesions with coexisting microvascular dysfunction in LAD territory with functionally significant lesions without the need of vasodilator-induced hyperemia and a wire-based invasive physiological measurement.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A non-negligible proportion of myocardial infarction (MI) is not clinically recognized and unrecognized myocardial infarction (UMI) is associated with adverse outcomes.
Purpose
To determine the prevalence and prognostic significance of UMI by delayed-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (DE-CMR) before elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods
In this prospective, single-center study, 236 patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing elective and uncomplicated PCI were studied. All patients underwent DE-CMR before PCI. The prevalence of UMI was evaluated and the association of clinical and CMR-derived variables with primary MACE, defined as cardiovascular death, nonfatal MI, hospitalization for heart failure, unplanned late revascularization, and ischemic stroke was investigated.
Results
In the final analysis of 213 patients, 63 patients (29.6%) showed UMI. Target territory UMI was observed in 38 (17.8% of total, 60.3% of patients with UMI). UMI was significantly associated with sex, diabetes mellitus, left ventricular ejection fraction, SYNTAX score and fractional flow reserve in target vessels. During follow-up periods (median, 23 months), MACE was observed in 17 (27.0%) of patients with UMI, and 17 (11.3%) without (P=0.001). In a multivariable model, UMI (hazard ratio [HR] 2.18, 95% confidential interval, 1.10–4.33, P=0.001) remained as an independent predictor of MACE. Kaplan–Meier analysis indicated that the presence of UMI was significantly associated with higher incidence of MACE.
Conclusions
The prevalence of UMI in patients undergoing elective PCI was 29.6%. UMI was independently associated with an increased risk of MACE after successful PCI. Given the non-negligible prevalence and potential clinical significance of UMI, clinical studies comparing PCI and guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) versus GDMT only strategy might have to take the presence of UMI into consideration.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Prognostic value of unrecognized non-infarct-related territory (non-IR) myocardial infarction (UMI) in patients with non-ST-segment-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) remains to be elucidated.
Purpose
This study sought to evaluate the prevalence of non-IR UMI and its prognostic value in patients with first NSTE-ACS presentation.
Methods
This retrospective single-center analysis was conducted in patients with NSTE-ACS without prior history of coronary artery disease, who underwent uncomplicated urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 48 hours of admission between August 2014 and January 2018. All patients underwent postprocedural cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) within 30 days after PCI. Non-IR UMI was defined as the presence of non-IR delayed gadolinium enhancement with an ischemic distribution pattern. We investigated the association of non-IR UMI, other CMR findings and baseline clinical characteristics with major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined as all-cause death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, late revascularization and hospitalization for congestive heart failure.
Results
A total of 168 NSTE-ACS patients were included (124 males (73.8%); 66±11 years). Non-IR UMI was detected in 28 patients (16.7%). During a median follow-up of 32 months (15–58), MACE occurred in 10 (35.7%) patients with non-IR UMI, and 20 (14.3%) patients without (P=0.013). Patients with MACE showed higher frequency of non-IR UMI in RCA territory and multi vessel disease, higher level of NT-proBNP at admission, higher Genisini score, and greater extent of UMI. Cox's proportional hazards analysis showed that the presence of non-IR UMI was an independent predictor of MACE (HR 2.34, 95% CI 1.02–5.37, P=0.045), after adjusting confounding factors, such as multi vessel disease and serum levels of NT-proBNP at admission. The discriminant efficacy (IDI and NRI) of predicting MACE was significantly improved when the presence of non-IR UMI added to the reference clinical risk model. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with non-IR UMI were significantly associated with poor prognosis. (Figure 1).
Conclusions
In patients with NSTE-ACS undergoing urgent PCI, the prevalence of non-IR UMI was 16.7%. Non-IR UMI provided prognostic information independent of conventional risk factors.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The frequent pathological cause of acute coronary thrombosis is plaque rupture or erosion. A previous CT angiographic study failed to discriminate OCT-defined intact fibrous cap culprit lesions (IFC lesions) from those with ruptured fibrous cap (RFC group) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and chronic coronary syndrome.
Objectives
This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of preprocedural coronary CT imaging to identify optical coherence tomography (OCT)-defined plaque rupture or erosion at culprit lesions in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).
Methods
Consecutive patients with suspected NSTE-ACS who underwent preprocedural non-contrast CT and CT angiography (CCTA) were studied. Patients with at least one lesion with more than 50% stenosis at the proximal segment on CCTA were subsequently assessed by invasive coronary angiography and OCT. ALL CT and OCT examination were performed within 24 hours from presentation. The diagnosis of intact fibrous cap or ruptured fibrous cap was made by OCT for the angiographically most severely stenosed lesion. Cases of ambiguous OCT diagnosis such as massive thrombosis or calcified nodule precluding the fibrous cap assessment were excluded from the final analysis.
Results
In the final analysis of 176 patients, OCT identified 87 RFC plaques and 89 IFC plaques for the culprit lesions, respectively. In IFC group, lower prevalence of diabetes mellitus (24.7% vs. 41.4%, P=0.025) and lower peak cardiac marker elevation (CPK, 159 vs. 272 U/L, P<0.001) were observed. On CT, the prevalence of low attenuation plaque, positive remodeling, napkin ring sign, spotty calcification, calcium score (CAC), and culprit vessel pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (FAI) were all significantly low in IFC group. Multivariate regression analysis to predict IFC at culprit lesions revealed that the absence of low attenuation plaque, the absence of napkin ring sign, zero CAC, and low FAI were independent predictors of IFC. When stratified by the number of these 4 CT factors, the presence of IFC were stratified as 0%, 23.6%, 50%, 77.8%, and 100% (P<0.001), respectively. Adding non-contrast CT factor of zero CAC to the reference model including age, sex, DM, EF, low attenuation plaque, napkin ring sign, and FAI, can increase the incremental discriminatory and reclassification performance for the prediction of IFC (C-statistic 0.828 NRI: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.095–0.646, P=0.008 and IDI: 0.042, 95% CI: 0.012–0.071, P=0.005).
Conclusions
Preprocedural comprehensive CT imaging including CAC and pericoronary adipose tissue inflammation could identify IFC or RFC culprit lesions defined by OCT. Further studies are needed to confirm our preliminary results and if CT imaging in NSTE-ACS provides prognostic information or specific therapeutic approach such as conservative therapy or non-stenting strategy before invasive angiography.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The usefulness of computed tomography myocardial perfusion (CTP) to assess hemodynamically significant epicardial coronary artery lesions has been previously reported. However, the diagnostic value of quantitative evaluation of absolute coronary flow by CTP to detect microvascular dysfunction remains unknown.
Purpose
The aim of study is to assess the diagnostic value of CTP to evaluate coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in patients with significant epicardial coronary stenosis, and to analyze the predicting factors for lesions with CMD.
Methods
Sixty-eight chronic coronary syndrome patients with de novo single functionally significant stenosis (Fractional flow reserve [FFR] <0.80) were investigated. CMD was defined by the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) ≥25. Clinical characteristics and CTP findings were compared between the two groups with and without CMD (CMD, n=29, non-CMD, n=39, respectively). The computed tomography angiography (CCTA) assessment included CTP findings and quantitative and qualitative assessment of plaques.
Results
In wire-based analysis, FFR, coronary flow reserve (CFRwire) and IMR were 0.68 (0.59–0.74), 1.71 (1.24–2.88), and 22.6 (15.1–34.5), respectively.
In CTP analysis, culprit territory regional absolute myocardial blood flow (MBF) at rest (rest-MBF) and hyperemia (hyperemic-MBF) were evaluated semi-automatically. CTP-derived CFR (CFRCTP) was calculated as hyperemic-MBF divided by rest-MBF. Rest and hyperemic-MBF and CFRCTP were 0.83 (0.64–1.03) ml/min/g, 2.14 (1.30–2.92) ml/min/g, and 2.19 (1.44–3.37).
In the lesions with CMD, hyperemic-MBF was significantly lower than those without CMD (1.68 [0.84–2.44] vs 2.31 [1.67–3.34] ml/min/g, p=0.015) and the prevalence of CFRCTP<2.0 was higher in the lesions with CMD than those without CMD (62.1% vs 28.2%, p=0.007).
CCTA analysis showed that fibrofatty and necrotic core component (FFNC) volume was greater in the lesions with CMD than in the lesions without CMD (31.8 [19.0–48.9] vs 25.1 [17.2–32.1] mm3, p=0.045). The multivariable logistic regression analysis, hyperemic-MBF and FFNC volume were independent predictors for lesions with CMD (Odds ratio [OR] 0.583 [0.355–0.958], p=0.033 and OR 1.040 [1.010–1.070], p=0.018).
Conclusion
Quantitative assessment of absolute coronary flow by CTP and comprehensive plaque analysis by CCTA may help detect coexisting subtended microvascular dysfunction in patients with functionally significant epicardial coronary lesions. Further studies are needed to elucidate the clinical significance of coexisting CMD in CCS patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
This study sought to assess the predictors of coherence tomography (OCT) and coronary computed tomography angiographic (CCTA) findings for non-infarct-related (non-IR) territory unrecognized myocardial infarction (UMI) in patients with first non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) presentation.
Background
UMI detected by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with both acute coronary syndrome and chronic coronary syndrome. However, the association between the presence of UMI and findings of multimodality coronary imaging remains unknown.
Methods
We investigated 69 patients with a first clinical episode of NSTE-ACS, who underwent pre-PCI 320-slice CCTA, uncomplicated urgent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with OCT assessment within 48 hours of admission, and post-PCI CMR. UMI was assessed on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE-CMR) by identifying regions of hyperenhancement with an ischemic distribution pattern in non-IR territories (non-IR UMI).
Results
Non-IR UMI was detected in 11 patients (15.9%). ROC analysis revealed the optimal cut-off value of PCATA in culprit vessel for predicting the presence of non-IR UMI were −71.3. Lower ejection fraction, higher Gensini score, high pericoronary inflammation (>−71.3), OCT-defined culprit lesion plaque rupture (OCT-PR), and OCT-defined culprit lesion cholesterol crystal (OCT-CC) were significantly associated with the presence of non-IR UMI (Figure 1A). OCT findings are shown in Figure 1B. Patients with non-IR UMI had a higher prevalence of OCT-PR and OCT-CC than those without. Compared with patients without non-IR UMI, the prevalence of high pericoronary inflammation was higher in patients with non-IR UMI (Figure 1C). When the total cohort was divided into four groups according to the numbers of aforementioned OCT-derived risk factors and PCATA, patients with all of these UMI risk factors showed 46.2% (6/13) prevalence of non-IR UMI, whereas none of 15 patients without these factors showed non-IR UMI (Figure 1D).
Conclusions
When culprit lesion showed OCT-PR, OCT-CC, and high PCATA, about half of these patients are likely to have non-IR UMI. The integrated CCTA and OCT assessment may help identify the presence of non-IR UMI, potentially providing prognostic information in first NSTE-ACS patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
FFR after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been reported to provide prognostic information. However, limited data are available regarding the prognostication by CFR in patients treated with elective PCI using newer generation DES.
Purpose
This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of post-procedural fractional flow reserve (FFR) and coronary flow reserve (CFR) after newer-generation drug-eluting stent implantation (DES).
Methods
A total of 466 stenoses in 466 patients underwent FFR-guided PCI. FFR and CFR measurements before and after PCI by a pressure-temperature sensor-tipped wire were performed. Follow-up data were studied to determine the predictors of target vessel failure (TVF), defined as death, target vessel-related nonfatal myocardial infarction, and unplanned clinically driven target vessel late revascularization. Prognostic value of post-PCI CFR was compared with that of FFR or FFR/CFR combination.
Results
After PCI completion, 13.7% showed post-PCI FFR ≤0.80 and 44.2% exhibited post-PCI CFR <2.5. Discordant results were observed in 42.5% (198/466). During 2.7 (1.8–3.3) years follow-up, 57 (12.2%) TVF were documented. The multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that post-PCI FFR and post-PCI CFR were independent prognostic factors. ROC analysis revealed that the optimal cut-off values of post-PCI FFR and CFR values were 0.85 and 2.26, respectively. Significant differences in TVF were detected according to post-PCI FFR (≤0.85 vs >0.85: 17.8% vs 8.9%, P<0.05) and post-PCI CFR (≤2.26 vs >2.26: 20.5% vs 7.2%, P<0.01), although the reclassification ability for TVF was improved only with post-PCI CFR (net reclassification index 0.598; P<0.01; integrated discrimination index 0.038; P<0.01), but not with post-PCI FFR, in comparison with the clinical model. Compared with patients with FFR >0.85, those with post-PCI FFR ≤0.85 and CFR ≤2.26 showed significantly higher risk of TVF (8.9% vs 28.9%, P<0.01, HR 4.24, 95% CI 2.40–7.50, P<0.01), whereas those with post-PCI FFR <0.85 and CFR >2.26 had similar TVF risk (8.9% vs 9.2%, P=1.00, HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.47–2.16, P=0.97).
Conclusions
After PCI completion with newer-generation DES, discordant results between FFR and CFR were observed in 42.5%. Compared with post-PCI CFR, post-PCI FFR provided limited reclassification ability for TVF. Among patients with lower post-PCI FFR, only patients with lower post-PCI CFR showed significantly higher risk of TVF than those with higher post-PCI FFR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
CAC evaluated by non-contrast computed tomography is a marker of atherosclerosis. However, the characteristic features of CCTA and optical coherence tomography (OCT) of culprit lesions in patients with NSTE-ACS showing zero CAC remain unknown.
Objectives
This study aimed to assess the prevalence and characteristic features of culprit lesions on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) showing zero coronary artery calcium (CAC).
Methods
A total of 176 consecutive patients with NSTE-ACS who underwent preprocedural CCTA and OCT were studied. Patients were divided into two groups according to their CAC (zero-CAC and non-zero-CAC groups). Baseline characteristics, CCTA and OCT findings were compared between these two groups.
Results
The prevalence of patients with zero-CACS was 15.9% (28/176). Patients in zero CAC group were younger (mean age, 55 vs. 65 years, P<0.001) and had a lower prevalence of diabetes (10.7 vs 37.2%, P=0.012) than non-zero CAC group. In zero CAC group, the lower prevalence of napkin ring sign (3.5% vs. 28.4%, P=0.028), smaller LV mass index (77.7 vs. 83.9, P=0.04), lower prevalence on spotty calcification (0 vs. 83.8%, P<0.001), lower epicardial fat volume (111.3 vs. 142.6 cm3, P=0.025), and lower pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (−71.5 vs. −70.2 HU, P=0.07) on CCTA were observed. On OCT, the frequency of plaque erosion (82.1 vs. 44.6%, P<0.001) was significantly higher in zero-CACS group. The prevalence of lipid-rich plaque (46.4 vs. 86.5%, P<0.001), thin-cap fibroatheroma (17.9 vs. 46%, P=0.006), macrophage accumulation (46.4 vs. 81.8%, P<0.001) and cholesterol crystal (7 vs. 41.9%, P<0.001) were all significantly lower in zero-CAC group.
Conclusions
Zero CAC NSTE-ACS was not rare. Zero-CAC NSTE-ACS was characterized by specific phenotypes defined by the combined assessment of CCTA and OCT. Further studies are warranted if these characteristics of NSTE-ACS on preprocedural imaging studies provide prognostic information or guidance of a specific therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The presence of layered plaque is suggestive of recurrent thrombotic events. However, the impact of layered plaque detected by optical coherence tomography (OCT) on coronary inflammation and coronary flow reserve remains unclear.
Purpose
We aimed to investigate the association of OCT-derived layered plaque with pericoronary adipose tissue inflammation assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (cCTA) and global coronary flow reserve (G-CFR) assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
Methods
We investigated 88 patients with first ACS who underwent preprocedural cCTA and OCT imaging of the culprit lesion, and CMR after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). All patients were divided into four groups according to the OCT-derived culprit plaque characteristics: layered vs. non-layered plaque; and plaque rupture vs. plaque erosion. Coronary inflammation was assessed by the mean value of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation (−190 to −30 HU) of the three major coronary vessels. G-CFR was obtained by quantifying absolute coronary sinus flow at rest and during maximum hyperemia. CCTA and CMR findings were compared between the groups.
Results
In a total of 88 patients, layered plaque [L] with plaque rupture [PR] was observed in 25 patients, layered plaque with plaque erosion [PE] was observed in 26 patients, non-layered plaque [NL] with PR was observed in 23 patients, and non-layered plaque with PE was observed in 14 patients, respectively. Three-vessel-PCAT attenuation value (L-PR vs. L-PE vs. NL-PR vs. NL-PE; −68.13±6.18 vs. −69.01±6.72 vs. −69.76±4.04 vs. −74.61±5.63 HU, P=0.009) and culprit vessel PCAT attenuation value (L-PR vs. L-PE vs. NL-PR vs. NL-PE; −66.39±7.38 vs. −68.94±8.06 vs. −70.01±5.76 vs. −75.45±6.60 HU, P=0.003) showed the graded difference between the four groups. G-CFR value also showed the graded difference between the four groups (L-PR vs. L-PE vs. NL-PR vs. NL-PE; 2.26 [1.80–2.87] vs. 2.24 [1.72–3.13] vs. 2.97 [2.24–3.83] vs. 3.18 [2.67–4.08], P=0.022).
Conclusions
The presence of layered plaque at the culprit lesion was associated with high PCATA and low G-CFR in patients with ACS. Detection of layered plaque may indicate increased pericoronary inflammation and impaired coronary flow reserve, potentially providing the risk stratification in patients with ACS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously established a macaque model of central post-stroke pain (CPSP) and confirmed the involvement of increased activity of the posterior insular cortex (PIC) and secondary somatosensory cortex (SII) to somatosensory stimuli in mechanical allodynia by a combination of imaging techniques with local pharmacological inactivation. However, it is unclear whether the same intervention would be effective for thermal hyperalgesia. Therefore, using the macaque model, we examined behavioral responses to thermal stimuli following pharmacological inactivation of the PIC/SII. METHODS Two CPSP model macaques were established based on collagenase-induced unilateral hemorrhagic lesions in the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus. To evaluate pain perception, withdrawal latencies to thermal stimuli of 37, 45, 50, 52, and 55 °C to hands were measured. Several weeks after the lesion induction, pharmacological inactivation of the PIC/SII by microinjection of muscimol was performed. The effect of inactivation on withdrawal latency was assessed by comparison with withdrawal latency after vehicle injection. RESULTS Several weeks after induction of the thalamic lesions, both macaques demonstrated a reduction in withdrawal latencies to thermal stimulation (<50 °C) on the contralesional hand, indicating the occurrence of thermal hyperalgesia. When the PIC/SII were inactivated by muscimol, the withdrawal latencies to thermal stimuli of 50 and 52 °C were significantly increased compared to those after vehicle injection. CONCLUSIONS Our data emphasize that increased activity in the PIC/SII after appearance of thalamic lesions can contribute to abnormal pain of multiple modalities, and the modulation of PIC/SII activity may be a therapeutic approach for thermal hyperalgesia.

Abstract
BackgroundGenome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified 29 disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for systemic sclerosis (SSc) in non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) regions (1-7). While these GWASs have clarified genetic architectures of SSc, study subjects were mainly Caucasians limiting application of the findings to Asians.ObjectivesThe study was conducted to identify novel causal variants for SSc specific to Japanese subjects as well as those shared with European population. We also aimed to clarify mechanistic effects of the variants on pathogenesis of SSc.MethodsA total of 114,108 subjects comprising 1,499 cases and 112,609 controls were enrolled in the two-staged study leading to the ever-largest Asian GWAS for SSc. After applying a strict quality control both for genotype and samples, imputation was conducted using the reference panel of the phase 3v5 1,000 genome project data combined with a high-depth whole-genome sequence data of 3,256 Japanese subjects. We conducted logistic regression analyses and also combined the Japanese GWAS results with those of Europeans (6) by an inverse-variance fixed-effect model. Polygenicity and enrichment of functional annotations were evaluated by linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), Haploreg and IMPACT programs. We also constructed polygenic risk score (PRS) to predict SSc development.ResultsWe identified three (FCRLA-FCGR, TNFAIP3, PLD4) and four (EOMES, ESR1, SLC12A5, TPI1P2) novel loci in Japanese GWAS and a trans-population meta-analysis, respectively. One of Japanese novel risk SNPs, rs6697139, located within FCGR gene clusters had a strong effect size (OR 2.05, P=4.9×10-11). We also found the complete LD variant, rs10917688, was positioned in cis-regulatory element and binding motif for an immunomodulatory transcription factor IRF8 in B cells, another genome-wide significant locus in our trans-ethnic meta-analysis and the previous European GWAS. Notably, the association of risk allele of rs10917688 was significant only in the presence of the risk allele of the IRF8. Intriguingly, rs10917688 was annotated as one enhancer-related histone marks, H3K4me1, in B cells, implying that FCGR gene(s) in B cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SSc. Furhtermore, significant heritability enrichment of active histone marks and a transcription factor C-Myc were found in B cells both in European and Japanese populations by LDSC and IMPACT, highlighting a possibility of a shared disease mechanism where abnormal B-cell activation may be one of the key drivers for the disease development. Finally, PRS using effects sizes of European GWAS moderately fit in the development of Japanese SSc (AUC 0.593), paving a path to personalized medicine for SSc.ConclusionOur study identified seven novel susceptibility loci in SSc. Downstream analyses highlighted a novel disease mechanism of SSc where an interactive role of FCGR gene(s) and IRF8 may accelerate the disease development and B cells may play a key role on the pathogenesis of SSc.References[1]F.

Abstract
The differential cross sections of the Σ^{-}p→Λn reaction were measured accurately for the Σ^{-} momentum (p_{Σ}) ranging from 470 to 650 MeV/c at the J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility. Precise angular information about the Σ^{-}p→Λn reaction was obtained for the first time by detecting approximately 100 reaction events at each angular step of Δcosθ=0.1. The obtained differential cross sections show a slightly forward-peaking structure in the measured momentum regions. The cross sections integrated for -0.7≤cosθ≤1.0 were obtained as 22.5±0.68 [statistical error(stat.)] ±0.65 [systematic error(syst.)] mb and 15.8±0.83(stat)±0.52(syst) mb for 470<p_{Σ}(MeV/c)<550 and 550<p_{Σ}(MeV/c)<650, respectively. These results show a drastic improvement compared with past measurements of the hyperon-proton scattering experiments. They will play essential roles in updating the theoretical models of the baryon-baryon interactions.

Abstract
A new hyperon-proton scattering experiment, dubbed J-PARC E40, was performed to measure differential cross sections of the Σ+p, Σ−p elastic scatterings and the Σ−p → Λn scattering by identifying a lot of Σ particles in the momentum ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 GeV/c produced by the π±p → K+Σ± reactions. We successfully measured the differential cross sections of these three channels with a drastically improved accuracy with a fine angular step. These new data will become important experimental constraints to improve the theories of the two-body baryon-baryon interactions. Following this success, we proposed a new experiment to measure the differential cross sections and spin observables by using a highly polarized Λ beam for providing quantitative information on the ΛN interaction. The results of three Σp channels and future prospects of the Λp scattering experiment are described.

Abstract
The dynamic structure factorS(Q,E), whereQandEare momentum and energy transfer, respectively, has been measured for liquid Sb, using inelastic x-ray scattering. A modified damped harmonic oscillator model function was applied to analyseS(Q,E) of liquid Sb and also to that of liquid Bi by Inuiet al(2015Phys. Rev.B92, 054206). The obtained excitation energy was in fairly good agreement with that predicted byab initiomolecular dynamics simulations on these liquid semi-metals. The excitation energy of the longitudinal acoustic mode in liquid Sb and liquid Bi exhibits flat-toppedQdependence whereas the lower excitation energy below the longitudinal acoustic excitation showsQ-gap behaviour. From the viscosity estimated from theQ-gap experimentally obtained, it is inferred that the lower energy excitation arises from the transverse acoustic excitation in the liquids.

Abstract
We describe a successful surgical technique of abdominal trachelectomy and re-vaginoplasty for cervico-vaginal stenosis following unsuccessful uterovaginal anastomosis and vaginoplasty in a patient with congenital cervical and vaginal aplasia. After the surgical procedure, cervico-vaginal stenosis was resolved and periodic menstruation without dysmenorrhoea resumed. While long-term follow-up is essential to ensure successful pregnancy and delivery, we conclude that this novel surgical procedure is a promising alternative for improvement of the quality of life and normal sexual function, and for preservation of fertility in patients with cervical and vaginal aplasia.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Relative apical sparing pattern (RASP) is thought to be associated with prognosis in patients with cardiac amyloidosis or left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Although almost all patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) have LVH, little is known about the effect of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe AS exhibiting a RASP.
Purpose
This study aimed to elucidate the effect of TAVI on left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LS; LVGLS) in patients with severe AS exhibiting a RASP.
Methods
Eighty-four patients who underwent transfemoral or subclavian TAVI were evaluated. They were divided into the RASP and non-RASP groups. The average apical LS divided by the sum of the average mid and basal LS values of >1.0 was defined as the RASP. We analyzed the difference between pre- and post-TAVI LVGLS (ΔGLS = post-TAVI LVGLS − pre-TAVI LVGLS).
Results
Of the 84 patients (mean age, 84.5±3.9 years; 24 men), 15 (17.9%) exhibited a RASP. No significant difference in mean pre-TAVI LVGLS was found between the RASP and non-RASP groups (−16.6% ± 3.8% vs. −15.8% ± 3.9%). The ΔGLS in the RASP group was significantly higher than that in the non-RASP group (−0.97% ± 2.5% vs. −2.6% ± 3.0%; P<0.05). Multivariate analysis revealed that relative apical longitudinal strain was an independent predictor of ΔGLS (β = 0.35, p=0.002).
Conclusion
Relative apical longitudinal strain was associated with LVGLS recovery. The effect of TAVI on LVGLS in patients with a RASP is inferior to that in patients without a RASP.

Abstract
We have developed a special technique and succeeded to carry out small-angle x-ray scattering measurements for some liquid metal systems. The purpose is to investigate effects of transitions such as liquid-liquid (LLT), liquid-gas (LGT) and metal-nonmetal (MNMT) transitions on mesoscopic density fluctuations in liquids. In liquid Te systems (Se-Te and Ge-Te mixtures), which show continuous LLT accompanying MNMT, parameters of density fluctuations show maxima almost in the middle of the transition, both in strength and spatial size. This work (and Kajihara et al 2012 Phys. Rev. B86 214202) was the first direct observation that density fluctuations exhibit maximum corresponding to LLT. However in this study, we could not clearly separate the effects of LLT and MNMT on the observed density fluctuations. Thus, we also investigated fluid Hg under high pressure and high temperature conditions, which shows MNMT near a critical point of LGT, to investigate how MNMT affects them. We observed distinct density fluctuations; a strength and a correlation length of them show maxima at around a critical isochore of LGT, and the former is basically consistent with a phase diagram (compressibility) of LGT; they do not show any peaks at MNMT region. Precise analysis revealed that MNMT only affects a shift of another parameter, a short-range correlation length. These results in fluid Hg indicate that the density fluctuations are mainly derived from a critical phenomena of LGT and MNMT does not play any critical role on them. We believe that the latter conclusion also holds true for liquid Te systems; MNMT plays no important role on the density fluctuations in liquid Te systems and LLT is the main origin of them.

Abstract
Inelastic x-ray scattering (IXS) measurements were carried out on liquid Se50Te50 at temperatures up to 1323 K to investigate how the atomic dynamics changes with temperature through the semiconductor-metal transition. The acoustic mode was clearly observed in the dynamic structure factor and its energy was determined using a damped harmonic oscillator model. The dynamical sound speed obtained by IXS for [Formula: see text] nm-1 was found to behave similarly to the temperature dependence of ultrasonic sound velocity with a minimum near the semiconductor metal transition. The results can be explained by taking liquid Se50Te50 to be an inhomogeneous liquid consisting of metallic and semiconducting domains whose size is approximately 3 nm. The relaxation time obtained from frequency dependence of the dynamical sound speed was on a picosecond time scale.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) establishes screening recommendations specifying screening methods, age, and interval for gastric, colon, lung, breast, and cervical cancers. Screening programs are provided via local healthcare departments (LHD), who are responsible for managing programs and reporting the screening status through a survey annually.
Methods
We analyzed screening status provided by LHDs in fiscal 2017 in regards to appropriate screening age and interval. Briefly, current recommended screening age by MHLW is followed: colon, lung, breast cancer screening are age 40 years and older, and cervical cancer for aged 20 and older, and gastric cancer for aged 50 and older. Screening intervals are gastric, breast, and cervical cancer screening are two years, and colon and lung cancer screening are one year.
Results
The survey was completed by 1736 LHD (response rate: 99.9%). Regarding age-appropriate compliance, in cervical cancer, 96.4% of LHDs reported following recommended target age, while compliance was lower for lung, colon, breast, and gastric cancers at 79.4%, 75.7%, 60.2% and 4.2%, respectively. High compliance with recommendations for screening interval was identified for colon (99.7%) and lung (98.7%) cancers; this was substantially less for breast, cervical, and gastric cancer screening at 39.8%, 34.1%, and 4.6%, respectively.
Conclusions
In 2016, MLHW changed the starting screening age for gastric cancer from 40 to 50 years old, likely resulting in the lowest compliance in our analysis. Though it may take time for screening facilities to come into compliance with newer recommendations. Many LHDs provide screening without adhering to recommended starting ages, with a general tendency to provide screening at younger than recommended ages. This is a barrier to maximizing effectiveness and minimize harms of screening and warrants closer monitoring to promote efficiency in cancer screening programs.
Key messages
There is relatively low compliance with cancer screening guidelines in Japan. Establishing an environment of appropriate monitoring and support to achieve the goal of cancer screening is warranted.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Substantial cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) due to acute coronary syndrome have been recognized thus far, but there have been few reports about the aetiology of patients with OHCA without the organic heart disease. Especially, coronary artery spasm would be one of the causes of OHCA.
Purpose
This study aimed to investigate causes of OHCA without the organic heart disease and to investigate the characteristics and angiographic findings of OHCA patients with vasospastic angina (VSA).
Methods
Between January 2010 and April 2018, 920 patients with OHCA caused by probable or definite cardiovascular disease were transferred to our hospital. Return of spontaneous contraction was successfully achieved in 151 patients, among whom diagnosis was made in 130 patients. First, we analysed the causes of OHCA in these patients. Second, we compared clinical and angiographic characteristics between the VSA group with OHCA (OHCA-VSA) and the VSA group without OHCA (stable VSA; n=72) from our database.
Results
Among the 130 patients, 95 (73%) had the organic heart disease; 72, acute coronary syndrome; 19, myocardial disease; 2, valvular heart disease; and 1, congenital heart disease. There were 35 patients (27%) without the organic heart disease. Nineteen patients had primary (i.e., Brugada syndrome, QT prolongation) or secondary arrhythmia (i.e. drug adverse effect). Electrocardiogram, coronary angiogram, and LV structure and function were normal in 35 patients. However, there were 16 patients (11%) with VSA defined by Japanese guideline. The OHCA-VSA group was significantly younger (50±14) than the stable VSA group (64±11, P=0.003). The incidence of diffuse-type spasm in the OHCA-VSA group (100%) was significantly higher than that in the stable VSA group (100% vs. 69%, P<0.05). In addition, the incidence of triple-vessel coronary spasm in the OHCA-VSA group was significantly higher than that in the stable VSA group (86% vs. 25%, P=0.003).
Conclusion
OHCA patients without the organic heart disease had considerable cases of VSA, in addition to primary or secondary arrhythmia. Furthermore, the severity of spasm in the OHCA-VSA group was more serious and extensive than in comparison with the stable VSA group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most troublesome complications in colorectal surgery. Recently, near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging has been used intraoperatively to detect sentinel lymph nodes and visualize the blood supply at the region of interest (ROI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of visualization and quantification of bowel perfusion around the anastomosis using NIRF system in predicting AL. METHODS A prospective study was conducted on patients who had laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer at our institution. Perfusion of the anastomosis was evaluated with NIRF imaging after intravenous injection of indocyanine green (ICG). The time course of fluorescence intensity was recorded by an imaging analyzer We measured the time from ICG injection to the beginning of fluorescence (T0), maximum intensity (Imax), time to reach Imax (Tmax), time to reach Imax 50% ([Formula: see text]) and slope (S) after the anastomosis. RESULTS Tumor locations were as follows; cecum: 2, ascending colon: 2, transverse colon: 7, descending colon: 1, sigmoid colon: 2, rectosigmoid colon: 3 and rectum: 6 (one case with synchronous cancer). All operations were performed laparoscopically. Four patients were diagnosed with or suspected to have AL (2 patients with grade B anastomotic leakage after low anterior resection, 1 patient with minor leakage in transverse colon resection and 1 patient needing re-anastomosis intraoperatively in transverse colon resection). T0 was significantly longer in the AL group than in patients without AL (64.3 ± 27.6 and 18.2 ± 6.6 s, p = 2.2 × 10-3). CONCLUSIONS Perfusion of the anastomosis could be successfully visualized and quantified using NIRF imaging with ICG. T0 might be a useful parameter for prediction of AL.

Abstract
X-ray diffraction and inelastic x-ray scattering measurements of liquid Ba8Ga16Sn30 have been carried out to investigate local structure and atomic dynamics in the liquid. The pair distribution function shows shorter and longer interatomic distances in the first coordination shell. The dynamic structure factor exhibits the inelastic excitations on both sides of the quasielastic central peak. The inelastic excitations disperse with increasing the momentum transfer, suggesting the longitudinal acoustic mode. We found a low energy excitation in addition to the longitudinal acoustic excitation in the dynamic structure factor and it reminds us a strong relationship with a rattling motion of a guest (Ba) atom in the solid state. The temperature dependence of the pair distribution function and the longitudinal acoustic excitation energy is very weak in a range from 600 to 900 °C. The result suggests that Ba and other atoms in the melt are located around minimum positions of the effective pair potential approximated as a harmonic one.

Abstract
We investigate the dynamic structure factor of the melt of the well known glass former, As2Se3, using inelastic x-ray scattering for temperatures, T, [Formula: see text] K and momentum transfers Q from [Formula: see text] nm-1. An anomaly was observed at Q = 2.7 nm-1 ([Formula: see text] K) with, in the context of a simple model, both an abrupt change in frequency and an increased linewidth reminiscent of an anti-crossing in a solid. Comparison with structural information from reverse Monte Carlo modeling of x-ray diffraction data allows us to associate the disappearance of the anomaly at higher temperatures with a drop in the number of mechanical constraints per atom, n mc, to [Formula: see text] reminiscent of the threshold applicable for glass formation in rigidity theory. It is inferred that the surprising jump in the dispersion in the liquid may be correlated with a stiffness transition in a network glass.

Abstract
We propose a differential interference contrast method for cells using hard x-ray Gabor holography and knife-edge filtering in the spatial frequency domain, without relying on beam shearing. A phase object is holographically recorded and reconstructed by computer. Interference between the wavefronts of zeroth order weighted by ejπ/2 in the positive frequency region produces a dark image. Similarly, interference between the wavefronts of the zeroth order weighted by ej3π/2 in the negative frequency region produces a bright image. By adding these two intensity distributions, good quality phase-contrast images of 8-μm-diameter polystyrene beads and human HeLa cells were obtained.

Abstract
The life of currently-available centrifugal pumps is limited to no more than three days. As a magnetically suspended centrifugal pump (MSCP) contains no shaft or seal, it could be expected to have a longer life expectancy. The MSCP was evaluated in a chronic animal model using eight adult sheep. Left ventricular assist with the MSCP was instituted between the left atrium and the descending aorta. The flow rates ranged from 2.5 to 6.0 L/min. The duration of the experiments ranged from 14 to 60 days. No mechanical failure occurred. The plasma free hemoglobin levels remained within an acceptable range (3-19 mg/dL). No reduction in the counts of red blood cells or platelets was observed. Thrombus formation within the MSCP was recognized in one pump. The main reason for termination was thromboembolism derived from the circuits. Three types of regulation methods (constant rotational speed, constant motor current, and controlled motor current) were also investigated. Regulation by a constant motor current mode altered the pressure-flow (P-Q) characteristics, and thereby, a steadier pump flow was obtained compared with regulation in the constant rotational speed mode. Moreover, the controlled motor current mode can change the P-Q relationship. These results demonstrate that the MSCP is a promising device for long-term use.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified several susceptibility loci for bipolar disorder (BD) and shown that the genetic architecture of BD can be explained by polygenicity, with numerous variants contributing to BD. In the present GWAS (Phase I/II), which included 2964 BD and 61 887 control subjects from the Japanese population, we detected a novel susceptibility locus at 11q12.2 (rs28456, P=6.4 × 10-9), a region known to contain regulatory genes for plasma lipid levels (FADS1/2/3). A subsequent meta-analysis of Phase I/II and the Psychiatric GWAS Consortium for BD (PGC-BD) identified another novel BD gene, NFIX (Pbest=5.8 × 10-10), and supported three regions previously implicated in BD susceptibility: MAD1L1 (Pbest=1.9 × 10-9), TRANK1 (Pbest=2.1 × 10-9) and ODZ4 (Pbest=3.3 × 10-9). Polygenicity of BD within Japanese and trans-European-Japanese populations was assessed with risk profile score analysis. We detected higher scores in BD cases both within (Phase I/II) and across populations (Phase I/II and PGC-BD). These were defined by (1) Phase II as discovery and Phase I as target, or vice versa (for 'within Japanese comparisons', Pbest~10-29, R2~2%), and (2) European PGC-BD as discovery and Japanese BD (Phase I/II) as target (for 'trans-European-Japanese comparison,' Pbest~10-13, R2~0.27%). This 'trans population' effect was supported by estimation of the genetic correlation using the effect size based on each population (liability estimates~0.7). These results indicate that (1) two novel and three previously implicated loci are significantly associated with BD and that (2) BD 'risk' effect are shared between Japanese and European populations.

Abstract
The first elastic electron scattering has been successfully performed at the self-confining radioactive-isotope ion target (SCRIT) facility, the world's first electron scattering facility for SCRIT technique achieved high luminosity (over 10^{27} cm^{-2} s^{-1}, sufficient for determining the nuclear shape) with only 10^{8} target ions. While ^{132}Xe used in this time as a target is a stable isotope, the charge density distribution was first extracted from the momentum transfer distributions of the scattered electrons by comparing the results with those calculated by a phase shift calculation.

Abstract
Oral and cutaneous tissues are the most frequent origin in canine squamous cell carcinoma (SSC). In SCC, changes in adhesion molecule expression and transition from epithelial to mesenchymal phenotype are thought to be important in development of invasive behavior of neoplastic cells at the leading front of the tumor. We therefore investigated histological invasive front grading and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in both oral SCCs and cutaneous SCCs. EMT was assessed by evaluating immunohistochemical expression of E-cadherin, β-catenin, desmoglein, vimentin, and N-cadherin. Regardless of the anatomic location, invasive front grading resulted in higher histological grades than grading of the surface. Most oral SCCs were of significantly higher histologic grade than cutaneous SCCs ( P < .01). Expression of E-cadherin, β-catenin, and desmoglein was significantly lower in oral SCC compared with cutaneous SCC ( P < .01). A significant association was found between invasive front grading and loss of E-cadherin, β-catenin, and desmoglein ( P < .01). Also, vimentin-positive neoplastic cells had low immunoreactivity of these adhesion molecules, and a few of these neoplastic cells were positive for N-cadherin. These results suggest not only E-cadherin and β-catenin but also desmoglein as markers for predicting biological behavior of canine SCC. Depending on their primary sites, EMT correlates with biological behavior and therefore histological grade of canine SCC. We suggest that combining invasive front grading with assessment of immunohistochemical expression of E-cadherin, β-catenin, and desmoglein may allow more accurate prediction of biological behavior of canine SCCs.
