Abstract
PURPOSE Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the mainstay approach for prostate cancer (PCa) management. However, the most commonly used ADT modality, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS The PCa Cardiovascular (PCCV) Expert Network, consisting of multinational urologists, cardiologists and oncologists with expertise in managing PCa, convened to discuss challenges to routine cardiovascular risk assessment in PCa management, as well as how to mitigate such risks in the current treatment landscape. RESULTS The experts identified several barriers, including lack of awareness, time constraints, challenges in implementing risk assessment tools and difficulties in establishing multidisciplinary teams that include cardiologists. The experts subsequently provided practical recommendations to improve cardio-oncology care for patients with PCa receiving ADT, such as simplifying cardiovascular risk assessment, individualising treatment based on CVD risk categories, establishing multidisciplinary teams and referral networks and fostering active patient engagement. A streamlined cardiovascular risk-stratification tool and a referral/management guide were developed for seamless integration into urologists' practices and presented herein. The PCCV Expert Network agreed that currently available evidence indicates that GnRH antagonists are associated with a lower risk of CVD than that of GnRH agonists and that GnRH antagonists are preferred for patients with PCa and a high CVD risk. CONCLUSION In summary, this article provides insights and guidance to improve management for patients with PCa undergoing ADT.

Long-term effects of lowering postprandial glucose level on cardiovascular outcomes in early-stage diabetic patients with coronary artery disease: 10-year post-trial follow-up analysis of the DIANA study.

Abstract
AIMS To elucidate the long-term cardiovascular benefit of lowering postprandial hyperglycemia (PPG) in early-stage T2DM patients. METHODS This 10-year post-trial follow-up study included 243 patients from the DIANA (DIAbetes and diffuse coronary Narrowing) study, a multi-center randomized controlled trial which compared the efficacy of one-year life-style and pharmacological (voglibose/nateglinide) intervention lowering PPG on coronary atherosclerosis in 302 early-stage T2DM subjects [impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or newly-diagnosed T2DM] (UMIN-CTRID#0000107). MACE (all-cause death, non-fatal MI or unplanned coronary revascularization) were compared in (1) three assigned therapies (life-style intervention/vogliose/nateglinide) and (2) patients with and without improvement of PPG (reversion from IGT to NGT or from DM to IGT/NGT on 75 g oral glucose tolerance test). RESULTS During the 10-year post-trial observational period, voglibose (HR = 1.07, 95%CI: 0.69-1.66, p = 0.74) or nateglinide (HR = 0.99, 95%CI: 0.64-1.55, p = 0.99) did not reduce MACE. Similarly, achieving the improvement of PPG was not associated with a reduction of MACE (HR = 0.78, 95%CI: 0.51-1.18, p = 0.25). However, in IGT subjects (n = 143), this glycemic management significantly reduced the occurrence of MACE (HR = 0.44, 95%CI: 0.23-0.86, p = 0.01), especially unplanned coronary revascularization (HR = 0.46, 95%CI: 0.22-0.94, p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS The early improvement of PPG significantly reduced MACE and unplanned coronary revascularization in IGT subjects during the post-trial 10-year period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) improve clinical outcomes in various cancers, but sometimes induce autoimmune adverse effects, including myocarditis, which is the most serious complication. There are many reports on ICI-induced myocarditis; however, only a few prospective surveillance reports exist. Therefore, we developed a prospective screening protocol and performed monitoring clinically suspected myocarditis in every patient treated with ICIs. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 126 consecutive patients treated with ICIs in this cohort. Outcomes of patients were determined and analyzed between April 2017 and May 2020. We evaluated vital signs, biomarkers, electrocardiograms, chest radiographs, and echocardiographs before and at 7 ± 3, 14 ± 3, 21 ± 3, and 60 ± 7 days after ICI initiation. RESULTS Eighteen (14.3 %) presented troponin I elevation and 13 of them presented signs of clinically suspected myocarditis (10.3 %). Among the 13 patients, ICI was discontinued in four cases (3.2 %) without fatal events. Myocarditis appeared at an early stage of ICI treatment, regardless of severity (median, 44 days). CONCLUSIONS We observed the frequency of patients with myocarditis or myocardial damage through a prospective screening program in the real world. Although the frequency was higher than expected, most cases were mild and ICI treatment could be continued under careful observation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Adjuvant chemotherapy with trastuzumab improves the postoperative life expectancy of women with early-stage breast cancer. Although trastuzumab is reportedly cardiotoxic, quantification based on real-world evidence is lacking. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to analyse trastuzumab cardiotoxicity using a nationwide claim-based database. METHODS In this retrospective study, we used data from a nationwide claims database (Japan Medical Data Center, Tokyo, Japan) under the universal healthcare system. Women with breast cancer who underwent initial surgery were included. Patients with recurrent or advanced-stage breast cancer, with a history of heart failure, receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy or a preoperative history of less than 6 months were excluded. Propensity score (PS) was calculated using logistic regression based on age, cardiovascular risk factors, radiotherapy and concomitant anthracyclines (AC). RESULTS We identified 12 060 eligible patients (mean age 50.8±8.56 years) between January 2010 and December 2019. After 1:2 PS matching (trastuzumab users, TZ, n=1005; non-users, NT, n=2010), Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed that the rate of heart failure development within 18 months postoperative was significantly higher in the TZ group than in the NT group (adjusted HR 2.28, 95% CI 1.38 to 3.77). Baseline cardiac evaluation in the combined AC/TZ cases was 27.2% preoperative, 66.0% pre-AC and 86.6% pre-TZ, respectively. CONCLUSION Trastuzumab cardiotoxicity remained relevant in the claim-based analysis adjusted for AC effects. Further collaborative studies in cardio-oncology with real-world data are warranted to improve the rate of baseline cardiovascular risk assessment in patients with cancer scheduled for cardiotoxic cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression during pregnancy is relatively undertreated; however, the relationship between prenatal exposure to antidepressants and neonatal outcomes remains controversial. METHODS This retrospective cohort study used a Japanese nationwide claims database. Data of 114,359 singletons born between January 2005 and November 2019 were used to evaluate the relationship between prenatal exposure to antidepressants and neonatal morbidity. RESULTS Of 2892 mothers with a history of depression before delivery, 352 (12.1%) received prescriptions within three months before delivery (MP3), and 2540 did not (non-MP3). The participants were propensity score matched (PSM) in a ratio of 1:3 using logistic regression (MP3_PSM [n = 351] vs non-MP3_PSM [n = 1052]), and maternal prescriptions of antidepressants within three months before delivery were associated with neonatal morbidity indicators, including admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) (15.7 vs. 9.1%, odds ratio (OR) 1.9 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.3-2.6]), poor neonatal adaptation syndrome (6.0 vs 1.0%, OR 6.6 [95% CI: 3.1-14.2]), transient tachycardia (15.7 vs. 6.7%, OR 2.6 [95% CI: 1.8-3.8]), and meconium aspiration syndrome (3.1 vs 0.7%, OR 4.8 [95% CI, 1.9-12.5]). There were no significant differences in the long-term duration of stay at the NICU (>15 days). LIMITATIONS Confounding factors may remain even after the propensity matching. CONCLUSION Maternal prescription of antidepressants within three months before delivery was associated with increased admission to the NICU. However, the absolute risk of severe neonatal morbidity was low. Therefore, collaborative care for prenatal depression and the neonatal intensive care is warranted.

Abstract
ObjectivesEndovascular aortic repair (EVAR) evolved through competition with open aortic repair (OAR) as a safe and effective treatment option for appropriately selected patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Although endoleaks are the most common reason for post-EVAR reintervention, compliance with lifelong regular follow-up imaging remains a challenge.DesignRetrospective data analysis.SettingThe Japan Medical Data Center (JMDC), a claims database with anonymous data linkage across hospitals, consists of corporate employees and their families of ≤75 years of age.ParticipantsThe analysis included participants in the JMDC who underwent EVAR or OAR for intact (iAAA) or ruptured (rAAA) AAA. Patients with less than 6 months of records before the aortic repair were excluded.Main outcome measuresOverall survival and reintervention rates.ResultsWe identified 986 cases (837 iAAA and 149 rAAA) from JMDC with first aortic repairs between January 2015 and December 2020. The number of patients, median age (years (IQR)), follow-up (months) and post-procedure CT scan (times per year) were as follows: iAAA (OAR: n=593, 62.0 (57.0–67.0), 26.0, 1.6, EVAR: n=244, 65.0 (31.0–69.0), 17.0, 2.2), rAAA (OAR: n=110, 59.0 (53.0–59.0), 16.0, 2.1, EVAR: n=39, 62.0 (31.0–67.0), 18.0, 2.4). Reintervention rate was significantly higher among EVAR than OAR in rAAA (15.4% vs 8.2%, p=0.04). In iAAA, there were no group difference after 5 years (7.8% vs 11.0%, p=0.28), even though EVAR had initial advantage. There were no differences in mortality rate between EVAR and OAR for either rAAA or iAAA.ConclusionsClaims-based analysis in Japan showed no statistically significant difference in 5-year survival rates of the OAR and EVAR groups. However, the reintervention rate of EVAR in rAAA was significantly higher, suggesting the need for regular post-EVAR follow-up with imaging. Therefore, international collaborations for long-term outcome studies with real-world data are warranted.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Adjuvant chemotherapy with anti-HER2 therapy has markedly improved the postoperative life expectancy of women with HER2-positive breast cancer, but cardiotoxicity remains a challenge. Although East Asians, especially premenopausal women, have a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease attributable to traditional risk factors, it is unclear whether the same ethnic factors apply to cancer treatment-related cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study is to detect rare but serious adverse events to provide real-world evidence for cardio-oncology. Materials and Methods: Women under 50 years of age who underwent their first surgery between January 2010 and December 2019 were extracted from JMDC, a national-level insurance claims database collected under Japan's universal health insurance system. Patients with a history of heart failure and those with less than six months records before surgery were excluded. Patients with both codes for diagnosis (breast cancer: C50) and surgery (K476) on the same receipt were defined as early breast cancer. Adjuvant chemotherapy was defined as anti-HER2, including trastuzumab (L01XC03), lapatinib (L01XE07), pertuzumab (L01XC13), or trastuzumab emtansine (L01XC14), prescribed within six months before or after surgery. Patients with a new episode of heart failure (Diagnosis: echocardiography 160072510, 160072610 or BNP 160162350, 160181250. Treatment: diuretics C03, beta-blockers C07, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers C09) were defined as cancer treatment-related cardiovascular disease (CTRCD). Results: Of the 11,594,000 subscribers in JMDC, 7,663 were eligible. The anti-HER2 group (n=863 (11%), median duration 13 months [IQR: 12-13]) was compared with the non-HER2 group ( n=6,800 (89%) ). Age 43 [39-46] vs 45 [41-47], anthracycline 602 (69.8%) vs 1,550 ( 22.8%), radiotherapy 496 (57.5%) vs 3,763 (55.3%), and tamoxifen 544 (63.0%) vs 4,809 (70.7%). Preoperative cardiovascular risk factors were diabetes 60 (0.9%) vs 7 (0.6%), hypertension 37 (4.2%) vs 157 (2.3%), dyslipidemia 17 (2.0%) vs 93 (1.4%). Preoperative echocardiography was 436 (50.5%) vs 1,282 (18.9%). CTRCD within 18 months postoperatively was 25 (2.9%) vs. 39 (0.6%), with an odds ratio of 5.2 [95% CI: 3.1-8.6]. Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratios for CTRCD were HER2: 3.0 [1.7-5.1], anthracycline: 3.4 [1.9-5.9], radiotherapy: 1.2 [0.7-2.0], tamoxifen: 1.4 [0.8-2.4], hypertension: 4.8 [2.3-10.2], :hyperlipidemia 1.5 [0.4-6.4], respectively. Conclusion: Real-world data indicate that premenopausal East Asians have a higher incidence of cardiac events with anti-HER2 therapy despite fewer cardiovascular risk factors. In addition, only about half of the patients underwent pretreatment cardiac function assessment as recommended in the guidelines.

Abstract
OPINION STATEMENT Lung cancer is the most common form of cancer in humans and the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Traditionally, lung cancer has been diagnosed as either small cell lung cancer (SCLC) or non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, recent developments in molecular pathology have revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, thus improving patient prognosis and increasing the number of survivors. In advanced NSCLC cases, molecularly targeted drugs for patients with positive driver gene mutation/rearrangement, and immune checkpoint inhibitors for those with a positive biomarker, have changed the standard of care. SCLC is a highly malignant entity. In addition to the chemotherapy and radiotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors have recently provided some hope for extended-stage SCLC. Smoking cessation is related to decreased morbidity. However, early metastasis remains a significant challenge. Recently, cancer therapy-related cardiovascular disease (CTRCD) has emerged as diverse pathophysiology, including fulminant myocarditis, fatal arrhythmia, pericarditis, hypertension, and thrombosis, that emerged with modern lung cancer therapies. Cardio-oncology is a new interdisciplinary collaboration to develop methodologies to manage cardiovascular risk factors and CTRCDs with the common goal of minimizing unnecessary interruption of cancer treatment and maximizing outcomes of lung cancer survivors.

Abstract
Clinical studies intended for regulatory approval must demonstrate the clinical benefits of the drug in a target population. Clinical development of a drug proceeds by stepwise clinical studies; after safety and pharmacokinetics are evaluated and the recommended dosage and administration are determined, efficacy and safety are evaluated in an exploratory manner, and finally clinical benefits are compared with conventional standard therapies. Guidelines for the clinical evaluation of anti‐cancer drugs in Japan were established in 1991 and amended in 2006 after molecular‐targeted drugs were introduced. Recent progress in the development of drugs acting on the immune system and cancer genomic medicine targeting rare but important molecular subtypes have altered the strategy for development of anti‐cancer drugs. It is often difficult to conduct a confirmatory randomized controlled study using overall survival as the primary endpoint in rare molecular subtypes, and the primary evaluation of the efficacy of some drugs and subsequent approval is based on the tumor response. As conducting clinical studies for rare subtypes solely within Japan is difficult, drug development needs to be conducted within a global study. However, this requires robust monitoring to detect possible ethnic differences in pharmacokinetics and drug efficacy. Development using the conditional approval system for drugs enforced in 2020 may be considered, when clinical utility is evaluated based on surrogate endpoints. Because of these changes, we have revised the guidelines for the clinical evaluation of anti‐cancer drugs in Japan. To promote global development of anti‐cancer drugs involving Japan, the guidelines have been translated into English. Recent progress in development of drugs acting on the immune system and cancer genomic medicine targeting rare but important molecular subtypes have altered the strategy for development of anti‐cancer drugs.

Abstract
Advances in cancer treatment have led to dramatic increase in cancer survivors. In addition to cardiotoxicity resulting from anthracyclines and radiation therapy, the emergence of novel cancer treatment-related cardiovascular disease (CTRCD) with molecularly targeted therapies and immune checkpoint inhibitors has been recognized as an unmet medical need. Cardio-oncology is a new interdisciplinary research opportunity at the intersection of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Research priorities need to be identified for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of previously unknown CTRCD(s), including (a) cardiac dysfunction and heart failure, (b) coronary artery disease, (c) valvular disease, (d) arrhythmias and QT-prolongation, (e) arterial hypertension, (f) thromboembolic disease, and (g) other cardiovascular disorders. In particular, understanding the fundamental mechanisms underlying CTRCD is essential for developing new methods. Applying more appropriate disease models and more effective methods for toxicity screening will help to better understand CTRCD. Although animal models have been used to predict potential problems, more advanced predictive models are also needed. Biobanks and other specimens with patient registries are expected to facilitate the validation of new biomarkers, genomic analysis, and imaging methods.

Abstract
Background: The prognosis of cancer survivors has dramatically improved, but effective strategies for cancer treatment-related cardiovascular disorders (CTRCD) remain to be elucidated in the emerging field of cardio-oncology. In this study, we investigated risk factors for CTRCD in breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab. Methods and Results: We performed a retrospective analysis of 141 consecutive women who received adjuvant trastuzumab, and underwent baseline (BL) and follow-up (FU) echocardiography at Juntendo University between April 2010 and December 2016. The major concomitant treatment was anthracyclines in 94% and radiotherapy in 53%. During the median treatment period of 11 months, there were 22 (15.6%) cardiology consultations, 3 (2.1%) treatment interruptions with irreversible CTRCD, and no deaths. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was decreased from a median 67.5% (BL) to 63.4% (FU; P<0.0001), with reduced LVEF noted in 26.2% at FU<90%BL, in 13.5% at FU

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Japan, ventricular assist devices (VADs) have been used for patients with severe heart failure as a bridge to transplantation (BTT) since 1992. However, it was not until 1997, when the Organ Transplant Law was enacted, that medical devices received approval by the national health insurance system for that use. To encourage research and development of innovative medical devices, the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency has established a public-private partnership in collaboration with academic societies, hospitals and manufacturers. METHODS The Japanese registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (J-MACS) is a prospective registry designed to be harmonized with the Interagency Registry of Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS). Participation in J-MACS is mandatory for device manufacturers to meet the conditions of approval as well as for hospitals to obtain authorization for reimbursement from the national health insurance system. RESULTS From June 2010 to April 2015, 476 patients were registered at 31 hospitals. Of these, analysis of primary VAD patients (n = 332) revealed that their overall 360-day survival was 91% (implantable 93%, extracorporeal 84%). CONCLUSIONS This initial report from J-MACS focuses on patients' demographics, device types, survival, competing outcomes, adverse events and successful examples of system failure detection.

Abstract
AIM Diabetes is accompanied by abdominal obesity, which produces various metabolic abnormalities. While metabolic factors have been considered to promote the development of coronary atherosclerosis in the early-stage of diabetes, it remains unknown whether the presence of obesity in early-stage diabetics affects the natural history of coronary atherosclerosis. We herein investigated the characteristics of the disease substrate in obese early-stage diabetics. METHODS The DIANA (DIAbetes and diffuse coronary NArrowing) study was a serial evaluation of angiographic disease progression in early-stage diabetics with coronary artery disease. A total of 252 study subjects were stratified into non-obese (n=168) and obese groups (n=84). Obesity in Japanese subjects was defined as a body mass index ≥25 kg/m(2) according to the statement about Japanese obesity from the Japan Society for the Study of Obesity. Coronary atherosclerotic changes were evaluated by a quantitative computed analysis. The total lesion length (TLL=total length of all atherosclerotic lesions) was compared between the groups. RESULTS The obese patients were younger (p=0.0002) and had higher levels of fasting (p=0.002) and postprandial insulin (p=0.01), and higher triglyceride levels (p=0.02). On serial angiographic evaluations, obese patients had greater disease progression, reflected by a larger percent change in the TLL (24.7±13.7 vs. 7.4±10.0%, p=0.04). However, the improvement of abnormal glucose tolerance was associated with a slowing of disease progression in both non-obese (-0.9±10.7 vs. +15.0±11.2%, p=0.04) and obese (+4.2±22.8 vs. +55.5±26.5%, p=0.005) patients. CONCLUSIONS Obese patients with early-stage diabetes exhibit profound disease progression. Glycemic control attenuated the progression of their coronary atherosclerosis. Our findings indicate progressive but modifiable disease in obese early-stage diabetics under optimal glycemic management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with mild-to-moderate essential hypertension in the HOMED-BP trial were randomly allocated to first-line treatment with a calcium channel blocker (CCB), angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). METHODS We recruited 265 (93 for CCB, 71 for ACEI and 101 for ARB) patients who completed the genomic study. Home blood pressure was measured for 5 days off-treatment before randomization and for 5 days after 2-4 weeks of randomized drug treatment. Genotyping was performed by 500K DNA microarray chips. The blood pressure responses to the three drugs were analyzed separately as a quantitative trait. For replication of SNPs with p < 10(-4), we used the multicenter GEANE study, in which patients were randomized to valsartan or amlodipine. RESULTS SNPs in PICALM, TANC2, NUMA1 and APCDD1 were found to be associated with CCB responses and those in ABCC9 and YIPF1 were found to be associated with ARB response with replication. CONCLUSION Our approach, the first based on high-fidelity phenotyping by home blood pressure measurement, might be a step in moving towards the personalized treatment of hypertension.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postprandial hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia have been considered as important determinants for the development of atherosclerosis. However, it remains to be elucidated whether correction of the postprandial glycemic status prevents atherosclerotic changes. METHODS AND RESULTS The DIANA (DIAbetes and diffuse coronary NArrowing) study is a prospective randomized open-label multicenter trial. The 302 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), impaired glucose tolerance/diabetes mellitus (DM) pattern according to 75-g oral glucose tolerance test and HbA(1c) <6.9% were randomly assigned to life-style intervention (n=101), voglibose (0.9 mg/day, n=100) or nateglinide treatment (180 mg/day, n=101). We compared 1-year coronary atherosclerotic changes evaluated by quantitative coronary arteriography. Although voglibose significantly increased the number of patients with normal glucose tolerance at 1 year, there were no significant differences in coronary atherosclerotic changes at 1 year. However, overall, less atheroma progression was observed in patients in whom glycemic status was improved at 1 year (%change in total lesion length: 3.5% vs. 26.2%, P<0.01, %change in averaged lesion length: 0.7% vs. 18.6%, P=0.02). CONCLUSIONS Although coronary atherosclerotic changes were similar for voglibose and nateglinide, an improvement in glycemic status at 1 year was associated with less atheroma progression regardless of the treatment. Our findings underscore the management of glycemic abnormality to prevent coronary atherosclerotic changes in Japanese early-stage DM patients with CAD.

Abstract
To facilitate research and development (R&D) and to expedite the review processes of medical devices, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) founded a joint committee to establish guidance for newly emerging technology. From 2005 to 2007, two working groups held discussions on ventricular assist devices and total artificial hearts, including out-of-hospital programs, based on previous guidance documents and standards. Based on this discussion, the METI published the R&D Guidelines for innovative artificial hearts in 2007, and in 2008 the MHLW published a Notification by Director regarding the evaluation criteria for emerging technology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nifekalant hydrochloride (NIF) is an intravenous class-III antiarrhythmic agent that purely blocks the K(+)-channel without inhibiting β-adrenergic receptors. The present study was designed to investigate the feasibility of NIF as a life-saving therapy for out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation (VF). METHODS AND RESULTS The Japanese Population-based Utstein-style study with basic and advanced Life Support Education study was a multi-center registry study with 4 participating institutes located at the northern urban area of Osaka, Japan. Eligible patients were those treated with NIF because of out-of-hospital VF refractory to 3 or more precordial shocks and intravenous epinephrine. Between February 2006 and February 2007, 17 patients were enrolled for the study. The time from a call for emergency medical service to the first shock was 12(6-26)min. The time from the first shock to the NIF administration was 25.5(9-264)min and the usage dose of NIF was 25(15-210)mg. When excluding 3 patients in whom percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was applied before NIF administration, the rate of return of spontaneous circulation was 86% and the rate of admission alive to the hospital was 79%. One patient developed torsade de pointes. CONCLUSIONS Intravenous administration of NIF seems to be feasible as a potential therapy for advanced cardiac life-support in patients with out-of-hospital VF, and therefore further study is warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intensive lipid-lowering therapy with statins reduces levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol (C) and improves plaque volume and composition in patients with cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, rosuvastatin ameliorated carotid stenosis in the ASTEROID study, and altered the composition of plaques in a predominantly Caucasian study population in the ORION study. However, it is not known whether statin therapy achieves similar quantitative improvement in carotid artery plaque in other ethnic groups. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty patients with hypercholesterolemia (LDL-C >or=120 mg/dl) and a maximum carotid intima-media thickness >or=1.8 mm will be enrolled and treated with rosuvastatin at a dose of 5 mg/day for 96 weeks. The primary endpoints will be the percent change of carotid plaque volume and the change in plaque composition after 96 weeks of treatment, as evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging. CONCLUSIONS The CHALLENGER study will provide a noninvasive assessment of the changes in carotid plaque volume and composition achieved by reduction of LDL levels in Japanese patients with carotid stenosis on long-term rosuvastatin therapy.

Abstract
A series of guidelines for development and assessment of next-generation medical devices has been drafted under an interagency collaborative project by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. The working group for assessment guidelines of next-generation artificial hearts reviewed the trend in the prevalence of heart failure and examined the potential usefulness of such devices in Japan and in other countries as a fundamental part of the process of establishing appropriate guidelines. At present, more than 23 million people suffer from heart failure in developed countries, including Japan. Although Japan currently has the lowest mortality from heart failure among those countries, the number of patients is gradually increasing as our lifestyle becomes more Westernized; the associated medical expenses are rapidly growing. The number of heart transplantations, however, is limited due to the overwhelming shortage of donor hearts, not only in Japan but worldwide. Meanwhile, clinical studies and surveys have revealed that the major causes of death in patients undergoing long-term use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) were infection, thrombosis, and mechanical failure, all of which are typical of VADs. It is therefore of urgent and universal necessity to develop next-generation artificial hearts that have excellent durability to provide at least 2 years of event-free operation with a superior quality of life and that can be used for destination therapy to save patients with irreversible heart failure. It is also very important to ensure that an environment that facilitates the development, testing, and approval evaluation processes of next-generation artificial hearts be established as soon as possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous animal and clinical studies suggest that bystander-initiated cardiac-only resuscitation may be superior to conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. Our hypothesis was that both cardiac-only bystander resuscitation and conventional bystander CPR would improve outcomes from out-of-hospital cardiac arrests of < or = 15 minutes' duration, whereas the addition of rescue breathing would improve outcomes for cardiac arrests lasting > 15 minutes. METHODS AND RESULTS We carried out a prospective, population-based, observational study involving consecutive patients with emergency responder resuscitation attempts from May 1, 1998, through April 30, 2003. The primary outcome measure was 1-year survival with favorable neurological outcome. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between type of CPR and outcomes. Among the 4902 witnessed cardiac arrests, 783 received conventional CPR, and 544 received cardiac-only resuscitation. Excluding very-long-duration cardiac arrests (> 15 minutes), the cardiac-only resuscitation yielded a higher rate of 1-year survival with favorable neurological outcome than no bystander CPR (4.3% versus 2.5%; odds ratio, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.01 to 2.95), and conventional CPR showed similar effectiveness (4.1%; odds ratio, 1.57; 95% CI, 0.95 to 2.60). For the very-long-duration arrests, neurologically favorable 1-year survival was greater in the conventional CPR group, but there were few survivors regardless of the type of bystander CPR (0.3% [2 of 624], 0% [0 of 92], and 2.2% [3 of 139] in the no bystander CPR, cardiac-only CPR, and conventional CPR groups, respectively; P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Bystander-initiated cardiac-only resuscitation and conventional CPR are similarly effective for most adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. For very prolonged cardiac arrests, the addition of rescue breathing may be of some help.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We explored the stimulus for B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) secretion in the clinical setting of heart failure (HF). BACKGROUND Increasingly, plasma BNP levels are being incorporated into the clinical assessment and management of systolic heart failure (SHF) as well as diastolic heart failure (DHF). However, heterogeneity in BNP levels among individuals with HF can cause some confusion in interpreting results. METHODS In 160 consecutive patients presenting with HF, we measured plasma BNP levels and performed echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Systolic and diastolic meridional wall stress was calculated from echocardiographic and hemodynamic data. RESULTS Although plasma BNP had a significant correlation (r2 = 0.296 [p < 0.001]) with left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (EDP) as previously reported, the correlation between plasma BNP and end-diastolic wall stress (EDWS) (r2 = 0.887 [p < 0.001]) was more robust. In a subanalysis of 62 patients with DHF, a similar result was obtained (r2 = 0.143 for EDP and r2 = 0.704 for EDWS). In a comparison between SHF and DHF, the BNP level was significantly higher in SHF (p < 0.001). Although EDP did not show any difference, EDWS was significantly higher in SHF than in DHF (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The present study shows that plasma BNP levels reflect left ventricular EDWS more than any other parameter previously reported, not only in patients with SHF, but also in patients with DHF. The relationship of left ventricular EDWS to plasma BNP may provide a better fundamental understanding of the interindividual heterogeneity in BNP levels and their clinical utility in the diagnosis and management of HF.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of the sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implanted in 20 Japanese patients with angina pectoris and compare it with that in US study. Bx VELOCITY stent loaded with a total sirolimus dose of 150 mug was used in this study. Ten patients were treated by single-SES (group 1) and 10 patients were treated by double-SES (group 2). Sirolimus levels in whole blood were serially measured in the 2 groups after the SES implantation and compared with the pharmacokinetics in US study. We also evaluated the side effect of sirolimus, major adverse clinical events, and binary angiographic restenosis at 8 months after the SES implantation. Peak concentrations were observed approximately 4 hours after the SES implantation, and sirolimus half-lives were approximately 120 hours in each group. Mean peak sirolimus levels were 0.86 and 2.00 ng/mL for the group 1 and group 2, respectively. The peak concentrations of sirolimus in this study were twice higher in Japanese than in Americans, but they were much lower than effective concentration of sirolimus when orally administrated as an immunosuppressive agent. There were no side effects of sirolimus and no binary angiographic restenosis in any patients. One patient had target vessel revascularization at 8 months after the SES implantation. Although blood concentrations of sirolimus in Japanese patients after SES implantation are somewhat higher than those in American patients, its level is extremely low compared with the systemic administration, indicating the same clinical benefits by the SES could be safely expected in Japanese patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND ABO-mismatched transfusions caused by human error are among the most serious problems in transfusion therapy. The major cause is misidentification of a recipient or a blood component at the bedside. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A network computer-assisted transfusion-management system has been developed with bar coding as a fail-safe/fool-proof system for accurate component-recipient identification at the bedside, which allows us to monitor the usage of blood components in real time. The efficacy of this system was evaluated to prevent human errors by monitoring the transfusion process via the network and analyzing voluntary and mandatory reports with regard to transfusion errors over a 3-year period. The crossmatch-to-transfusion ratio for operations and outdate rate of RBCs were calculated to assess economic benefit. RESULTS More than 60,000 blood components have been transfused perfectly to the intended recipients via the network, and one human error was prevented by the system. After establishment of the network system, the crossmatch-to-transfusion ratio for operations and outdate rate of RBCs have been gradually reduced from around 2.5 to 1.8 and from 3.9 to 0.32 percent, respectively. CONCLUSION The network computer-assisted management system greatly contributes to safe and efficient transfusion therapy.

Abstract
A 72-year-old female with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) complained of severe chest pain. Electrocardiography showed ST-segment depression and negative T wave in I, aVL and V4-6. Following a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), urgent coronary angiography revealed 99% organic stenosis with delayed flow in the proximal segment and 50% in the middle segment of the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Subsequently, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) for the stenosis in the proximal LAD was performed. In the coronary care unit, her blood pressure dropped. Hematomas around the puncture sites were observed and the platelet count was 28,000/mm3. After transfusion, electrocardiography revealed ST-segment elevation in I, aVL and V1-6. Urgent recatheterization disclosed total occlusion in the middle segment of the LAD. Subsequently, PTCA was performed successfully. Then, intravenous immunoglobulin increased the platelet count and the bleeding tendency disappeared. A case of AMI with ITP is rare. The present case suggests that primary PTCA can be a useful therapeutic strategy, but careful attention must be paid to hemostasis and to managing the platelet count.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to identify the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) isoform expressed in freshly dispersed rabbit gastric smooth muscle cells and in cultured rabbit gastric, human intestinal, and guinea pig taenia coli smooth muscle cells. RT-PCR products of the predicted size (354 bp) were obtained with endothelial NOS (eNOS)-specific primers, but not neuronal NOS (nNOS)- or inducible NOS (iNOS)-specific primers, in all smooth muscle preparations except guinea pig taenia coli. Control RT-PCR studies showed absence of the endothelial markers, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR), and the interstitial cell marker, c-kit, from cultures of smooth muscle cells. Cloning and sequence analysis showed that the predicted amino acid sequence (117 residues) in rabbit and human smooth muscle cells differed by only one residue from that of human eNOS. Northern blot analysis, using the PCR-generated and cloned eNOS cDNA from rabbits and humans as probes, demonstrated the expression of eNOS mRNA (4.4 kb) in both species. eNOS, but not nNOS or iNOS, transcripts were localized by in situ RT-PCR in single, freshly dispersed rabbit gastric smooth muscle cells; expression was evident in the majority of cells in each preparation. We conclude that eNOS is selectively expressed in rabbit gastric and human intestinal smooth muscle cells. The results confirm functional evidence for the existence of a constitutive NOS in smooth muscle cells of the gut in different species, except for guinea pig taenia coli.

Abstract
N-Terminal myristoylation and thiopalmitoylation of the endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) are required for targeting the enzyme to specialized signal-transducing microdomains of plasma membrane termed caveolae. We have previously documented that the subcellular localization of eNOS is dynamically regulated by agonists such as bradykinin, which promotes enzyme depalmitoylation and translocation from caveolae. More recently, we have shown that association of eNOS with caveolin, the principal structural protein in caveolae, leads to enzyme inhibition, in a reversible process modulated by Ca2+-calmodulin (CaM). We now report studies of the respective roles of acylation and caveolin interaction for regulating eNOS activity. Using eNOS truncation and deletion mutants expressed in COS-7 cells, we have identified an obligatory role for the N-terminal half of eNOS in stabilizing its association with caveolin. By exploring the differential effects of detergents (CHAPS vs octyl glucoside), we have shown that this direct interaction between both proteins is facilitated by, but does not require, eNOS acylation, and, importantly, that treatment of intact aortic endothelial cells with the calcium ionophore A23187 leads to the rapid disruption of the eNOS-caveolin complexes. Finally, using transiently transfected COS-7 cells, we have observed that the myristoylation-deficient cytosol-restricted eNOS mutant (myr-) as well as the cytosolic fraction of the palmitoylation-deficient eNOS mutant (palm-) may both interact with caveolin; this association also leads to a marked inhibition of enzyme activity, which is completely reversed by addition of calmodulin. We conclude that the regulatory eNOS-caveolin association is independent of the state of eNOS acylation, indicating that agonist-evoked Ca2+/CaM-dependent disruption of the caveolin-eNOS complex, rather than agonist-promoted depalmitoylation of eNOS, relieves caveolin's tonic inhibition of enzyme activity. We therefore propose that caveolin may serve as an eNOS chaperone regulating NO production independently of the enzyme's residence within caveolae or its state of acylation.

Abstract
Nitric oxide is synthesized in diverse mammalian tissues by a family of calmodulin-dependent nitric oxide synthases. The endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is targeted to the specialized signal-transducing membrane domains termed plasmalemmal caveolae. Caveolin, the principal structural protein in caveolae, interacts with eNOS and leads to enzyme inhibition in a reversible process modulated by Ca2+-calmodulin (Michel, J. B., Feron, O., Sacks, D., and Michel, T. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 15583-15586). Caveolin also interacts with other structurally distinct signaling proteins via a specific region identified within the caveolin sequence (amino acids 82-101) that appears to subserve the role of a "scaffolding domain." We now report that the co-immunoprecipitation of eNOS with caveolin is completely and specifically blocked by an oligopeptide corresponding to the caveolin scaffolding domain. Peptides corresponding to this domain markedly inhibit nitric oxide synthase activity in endothelial membranes and interact directly with the enzyme to inhibit activity of purified recombinant eNOS expressed in Escherichia coli. The inhibition of purified eNOS by the caveolin scaffolding domain peptide is competitive and completely reversed by Ca2+-calmodulin. These studies establish that caveolin, via its scaffolding domain, directly forms an inhibitory complex with eNOS and suggest that caveolin inhibits eNOS by abrogating the enzyme's activation by calmodulin.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) activates the soluble isoform of guanylate cyclase in platelets and inhibits platelet function. Several studies suggest the existence of a pathway for NO synthesis in platelets as a form of feedback inhibition, but the identity of the NO synthase (NOS) isoform present within platelets is unknown. We isolated human platelets, and synthesized cDNA from platelet RNA for analysis by PCR. Primers for human neuronal or inducible NOS failed to yield a PCR signal. However, primers specific for endothelial NOS (ecNOS) amplified a DNA band of the expected size. Analysis of nucleotide sequence revealed that the amplified DNA is ecNOS. NOS enzyme activity was detected in the platelet particulate subcellular fraction, as previously demonstrated for ecNOS in other cells. Thus, ecNOS is present in human platelets, and may play a role in the regulation of platelet function by an endogenous NO pathway.

Abstract
Peptidylarginine deiminase catalyzes the conversion of arginyl residues in proteins to citrullyl residues in the presence of Ca2+. We described the preparation of monoclonal antibody (subclass type IgG1) specific to mouse peptidylarginine deiminase type II. The antibody had no effect on the enzyme activity and its specific epitope was localized in the eight-residue segment at the amino-terminal portion of the enzyme.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO), which accounts for the biological activity of endothelium-derived relaxing factor, is now thought to play a variety of roles in the nervous system and in immunologic reactions. NO is synthesized from L-arginine by nitric oxide synthase (NOS). There are three isoforms of NOS; type I (neuronal), type II (inducible), and type III (endothelial). The fundamental structure of the three isoforms, which contain calmodulin-, FMN-, FAD-, and NADPH-binding domains, is the same. Calmodulin is already bound to inducible NOS without requiring Ca2+, while the others are Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent. Endothelial NOS is bound to membranes by N-myristoylation, while the other isoforms are soluble. The human endothelial NOS gene has been cloned. It has several highly repetitive regions which could provide potential sites for DNA polymorphism. It might be of interest to examine the relationship between such polymorphism and cardiovascular disorders.
