Abstract
PURPOSE Stress urinary incontinence (UI) often develops after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, and in those patients with moderate-to-severe stress UI an artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) is implanted. Inguinal hernias (IHs) often occur after radical prostatectomy. As the prevalence of AUS implantation increases, it is possible to encounter patients with IHs undergoing AUS implantation (IHA). This study investigated our treatment and discussed an appropriate approach for IHAs. METHODS We retrospectively investigated patients who underwent IH repair with AUS implantation at our hospital from January 2018 to March 2023. We classified IHAs into Types A-D based on the positions of the IHs and AUS devices (the positions of the control pump, pressure-regulating balloon, and connecting tube). The hernia and control pump were ipsilateral in Types A and B, whereas the hernia and pressure-regulating balloon were ipsilateral in Types A and C. RESULTS This study included 12 IHs of 11 patients. The median patient age was 77 years. We conducted open repair in nine patients with all types and laparoscopic repair in two patients with Type B. The median operation times for unilateral and bilateral repairs were 96 and 182 min, respectively. There were no complications with AUS or hernia surgeries. CONCLUSION IHA has its own characteristics, and multidisciplinary knowledge thereof will help surgeons safely perform IH surgery.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that low doses of ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, produce aberrantly strong internal representations of associatively activated but absent stimuli in humans and nonhuman animals, suggesting the validity of ketamine treatment as a preclinical model of the positive symptoms of schizophrenia, including hallucinations and delusions. However, whether acute ketamine treatment also impairs the ability to ignore present but informationally redundant stimuli, which is another hallmark of schizophrenia, remains unclear. Accordingly, the present study investigated whether injections of low-dose ketamine attenuate Kamin blocking in an appetitive conditioning preparation in mice. Mice in the blocking group were initially trained with A+ conditioning (i.e., conditioned stimulus A paired with a sucrose solution), followed by compound AX+ training, before the conditioned responses to the cue X were tested in extinction. The animals in the control group received B+ training before the AX+ training. Half of the mice in each group received an injection of 16 mg/kg ketamine before each compound conditioning session and the extinction test, whereas the other half received saline. The results showed a reliable blocking effect in the saline-treated mice, whereas the blocking effect was absent in the ketamine-treated mice. Specifically, the absence of blocking was due to the ketamine-treated mice learning about the blocked cues. This finding further validates the use of low-dose ketamine as a preclinical model of schizophrenia. It also suggests a possible link between hallucination-like aberrant processing of absent events and a reduced ability to suppress attentional processing of task-irrelevant stimuli.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increasing number of women are undergoing breast implantation for cosmetic purposes and for reconstructive purposes after breast excision. The surface morphology of the breast implant is one of the key factors associated with the induction of capsule contraction. The effect of surface morphology on the inflammatory response following implant insertion remains unclear, however. This study conducted comparative analyses to determine the effect of the textured and smooth surface morphology of silicone sheets. METHODS Each type of silicone sheet was inserted into the subcutaneous pocket below the panniculus carnosus in C57BL/6 mice and mice with genetic disruption of CARD9, Dectin-1, Dectin-2, or Mincle. We also analyzed the collagen fiber capsule thickness, histological findings, and macrophage inflammatory response, including TGF-β synthesis. RESULTS We found that textured surface morphology contributed to the formation of collagen fiber capsules and the accumulation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, and was accompanied by the accumulation of TGF-β-expressing macrophages and foreign-body giant cells. CARD9 deficiency attenuated collagen fiber capsule formation, macrophage responses, and TGF-β synthesis, although the responsible C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) remain to be clarified. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that CARD9 may have a strong impact on silicone sheet insertion through the regulation of macrophage responses.

Abstract
Optimal conditions for wound healing require a smooth transition from the early stage of inflammation to proliferation, and during this time alternatively activated (M2) macrophages play a central role. Recently, heat-killed lactic acid bacteria (LAB), such as Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) have been reported as possible modulators affecting the immune responses in wound healing. However, how signaling molecules regulate this process after the administration of heat-killed LAB remains unclear. In this study, we examined the effect of heat-killed L. plantarum KB131 (KB131) administration on wound healing and the contribution of CARD9, which is an essential signaling adaptor molecule for NF-kB activation upon triggering through C-type lectin receptors, in the effects of this bacterium. We analyzed wound closure, histological findings, and inflammatory responses. We found that administration of KB131 accelerated wound closure, re-epithelialization, granulation area, CD31-positive vessels, and α-SMA-positive myofibroblast accumulated area, as well as the local infiltration of leukocytes. In particular, M2 macrophages were increased, in parallel with CCL5 synthesis. The acceleration of wound healing responses by KB131 was canceled in CARD9-knockout mice. These results indicate that the topical administration of KB131 accelerates wound healing, accompanying increased M2 macrophages, which suggests that CARD9 may be involved in these responses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND According to the DESTINY-Breast04 trial, treating patients with breast cancer and low human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 expressions (HER2-low) varies from that of those with no HER2 expression. However, it is interesting to know if HER2-low indicates for anti-HER2 therapy in the gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma. Hence we conducted this study to assess the incidence, clinicopathological features, and treatment outcomes of patients with HER2-low G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective observational study. Patients with previously untreated G/GEJ adenocarcinoma were classified based on their HER2 status using immunohistochemistry (IHC) with or without in situ hybridization (ISH) as follows: HER2 negative (IHC 0), HER2-low (IHC 1+ or 2+/ISH-), and HER2-positive (IHC2+/ISH+ or 3+). RESULTS In total, 734 patients with G/GEJ adenocarcinoma were divided into three groups (HER2-negative, n = 410; HER2-low, n = 154, and HER2-positive, n = 170). The intestinal-type histology, peritoneal metastasis, and higher serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels differed significantly among patients with negative, low, and positive HER2 statuses: intestinal-type histology (21.0%, 44.2%, and 59.8%, respectively), peritoneal metastasis (56.3%, 44.8%, and 21.8%, respectively), and higher serum CEA level (32.2%, 41.6%, and 56.5%, respectively). Improved survival was observed in the HER2-positive group than in the HER2-negative G/GEJ adenocarcinoma group [hazard ratio (HR) = 0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.59-0.89; P = 0.002]. However, the prognoses of the HER2-low and HER2-negative groups were similar (HR = 1.01, 95% CI 0.82-1.23; P = 0.843). CONCLUSIONS Patients with HER2-low G/GEJ adenocarcinoma exhibited intermediate and distinct characteristics than those in the HER2-negative group. Similarly, the HER2-low group's prognosis was worse than that of the HER2-positive group. Therefore developing novel therapeutic strategies targeting HER2-low G/GEJ adenocarcinoma is required.

Abstract
An unexplored tin oxide crystal phase (Sn3 O4 ) was experimentally synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method. After tuning the often-neglected parameters for the hydrothermal synthesis, namely the degree of filling of the precursor solution and the gas composition in the reactor head space, an unreported X-ray diffraction pattern was discovered. Through various characterization studies, such as Rietveld analysis, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and first-principles calculations, this novel material was characterized as orthorhombic mixed-valence tin oxide with the composition SnII 2 SnIV O4 . This orthorhombic tin oxide is a new polymorph of Sn3 O4 , which differs from the reported conventional monoclinic structure. Computational and experimental analyses showed that orthorhombic Sn3 O4 has a smaller band gap (2.0 eV), enabling greater absorption of visible light. This study is expected to improve the accuracy of hydrothermal synthesis and aid the discovery of new oxide materials.

Abstract
Background Achieving an optimal work-life balance (WLB) is an important social issue not only for workers in general but also for doctors due to the shortage of women doctors. The present study aims to survey doctors' WLB and their use of household chore support services (HCSS). Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted with doctors working in Tottori Prefecture and a total of 289 responses (212 men, 77 women) were obtained and analyzed. To examine the relationship between gender and satisfaction with working patterns or with life for WLB, as well as the use of HCSS, a chi-squared test was conducted. Furthermore, a chi-squared test was conducted including age, marital status, whether or not they have preschool-aged children, and type of institution the participant worked. Results A significant difference was found in type of institution the participant worked regarding satisfaction with work patterns and life. The proportion of those who have used HCSS was 12.5% of the total sample and was significantly higher for women than men (men: 8.5%; women: 23.4%). Regarding the reason to use HCSS, "to reduce the burden of household chores and childcare" and "to secure time for work" were most common with the same proportions, and amongst women, "to secure time for work" was the highest. Conclusion Doctors working at a university hospital could have different work patterns and satisfaction with life compared to those working at other types of medical institutions. Additionally, the demand for HCSS was particularly high among women doctors, which suggests that HCSS may be used to reduce the burden of household chores and childcare, as well as to create time for work.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Therapeutic angiogenesis mediated by stem/progenitor cells is an attractive therapeutic option against cardiovascular disease (CVD). Adipose tissue (AT) can be safely obtained even in CVD patients with anti-platelet medications, and it is a readily available source of culture-expanded adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) for transplantation. Single-cell transcriptome enables us to screen all the surface markers at once, while conventional strategies have been limited for the number of target markers. Furthermore, gene profiling at single-cell resolution can be used for the quantification of each marker by how many favorable cells can be purified without mixing of detrimental cells.
Purpose
We aimed to identify and characterize a cell population with in vivo angiogenic potential by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis and xenograft experiments.
Methods
We revisited scRNA-seq datasets of single cell fraction from AT, bone-marrow (BM), and umbilical-cord blood (UCB, n=6/organ) to find cell populations with pro-angiogenic potential. Next, we collected AT from CVD patients (n=23) and used multicolor flow cytometry to quantify and sort the specific populations. PBS, the specific marker-negative and unsorted ADSCs were used as controls. Xenograft models of PKH26 pre-labeled human ADSC transplantation in limb ischemia were used to evaluate the lectin capillary density, PKH+ engrafted ADSCs, and blood flow recovery.
Results
Clustering divided CD45–CD31–CD34+ progenitor fraction into 3 clusters. We identified pro-/anti-angiogenic clusters based on the expressions of well-known pro-/anti-angiogenic factors. All genes encoding cell-surface proteins were compared in this functional clustering, resulted in 17 markers screened (Fig. 1A, B). Taken together with enrichment analysis, CD271+ cells showed predominant and pro-angiogenic gene profile from the other top candidates including CD36 and CD54 (Fig. 1C, D). Next, we evaluated the number and gene profile of CD271+ cells in well-known stem cell sources including BM and UCB. Surprisingly, the number of CD271 expressing cells were significantly lower and did not show angiogenic gene profile in BM and UCB (Fig. 2A). In analysis of AT from 23 CVD patients, CD271+ cells were significantly decreased by donor insulin resistance (Fig. 2B). Cell therapy using CD271+ ADSCs demonstrated in vivo angiogenic capacity compared to those of CD271– ADSCs and PBS in limb ischemia model. Furthermore, CD271+ ADSC transplantation showed enhanced efficacy compared to unsorted ADSCs from the same donors (Fig. 2C–E).
Conclusion
In this study, we identified CD271+ cell population in AT as an angiogenic cell population through scRNA-seq analysis and cell therapy experiments. AT obtained from donors without insulin resistance would be the most suitable for CD271+ ADSC isolation. CD271+ ADSC transplantation with a promising angiogenic capacity could contribute better cell-based therapy tackling CVD.

Abstract
The stability constants of metal(M)-ligand(L) complexes are industrially important because they affect the quality of the plating film and the efficiency of metal separation. Thus, it is desirable to develop an effective screening method for promising ligands. Although there have been several machine-learning approaches for predicting stability constants, most of them focus only on the first overall stability constant of M-L complexes, and the variety of cations is also limited to less than 20. In this study, two Gaussian process regression models are developed to predict the first overall stability constant and the n-th (n > 1) overall stability constants. Furthermore, the feature relevance is quantitatively evaluated via sensitivity analysis. As a result, the electronegativities of both metal and ligand are found to be the most important factor for predicting the first overall stability constant. Interestingly, the predicted value of the first overall stability constant shows the highest correlation with the n-th overall stability constant of the corresponding M-L pair. Finally, the number of features is optimized using validation data where the ligands are not included in the training data, which indicates high generalizability. This study provides valuable insights and may help accelerate molecular screening and design for various applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What is the frequency of azoospermia factor (AZF) microdeletions and sperm retrieval rate (SRR) by micro TESE in patients with these deletions?
Summary answer
AZFc is most frequent of Y chromosome microdeletions and a predictor of micro TESE outcome in Japanese azoospermic men.
What is known already
After Klinefelter syndrome, Y chromosome microdeletions are the second most frequent genetic cause of male infertility, with a prevalence of 2%-10% in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and three spermatogenesis loci in the Y chromosome long arm (Yq11) have been classified as AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc. The classical correlation of histopathology phenotypes with these three microdeletions comprises of complete absence of germ cells (Sertoli cell-only syndrome) in patients with AZFa microdeletions, maturation arrest of meiosis in patients with AZFb microdeletions, and hypospermatogenesis in patients with AZFc microdeletions, however, individual variation in the extent of deletions has led to various spermatogenic phenotypes.
Study design, size, duration
We performed a retrospective study based on two reproduction centers in Japan and evaluated 1373 azoospermic patients in our clinics between September 2013 and December 2021. We investigated the frequency of AZF microdeletions and SRR by micro TESE in patients with these microdeletions and therefore aimed to evaluate the correlation between AZF microdeletions and micro TESE results.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
A total of 1373 azoospermic were enrolled. After the diagnosis of azoospermia, karyotype analysis and detection of Y chromosome microdeletions were performed on peripheral blood lymphocytes of these patients. Y chromosome microdeletions in AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc regions were detected using Promega Y Chromosome AZF Analysis System version 2.0 (Promega Co.). Twenty sequence-tagged sites within the AZF region of Yq11 and the sex-determining region Y gene were targeted for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification.
Main results and the role of chance
One hundred and fifty-two AZF microdeletions (11.1%) were detected in the azoospermic patients. The most common deleted region was AZFc (60 cases, 4.4%). Among the patients, 17 (1.2%), 1 (0.1%), 42 (3.1%), 13 (1.0%), and 6 (0.5%) had AZFa, AZFa+b, AZFb+c, AZFb, and AZFa+b+c microdeletions, respectively. When the cases were grouped according to causes of infertility that could be detected, no Y chromosome microdeletions were detected in some groups (cases with Klinefelter Syndrome, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, congenital absence of vas deferens, and 47, XYY karyotype). Fifty-three azoospermic men with AZFc microdeletions underwent micro TESE, and spermatozoa were detected in 88.7% (47/53) of these men. In contrast, we detected spermatozoa in only 20.4% (109/534) of the azoospermic men without AZF microdeletions. The SRR was much higher in patients with AZFc microdeletions than that of patients without AZF deletions. Although three azoospermic men with AZFb+c microdeletions had also undergone micro TESE following patient request, we did not retrieve spermatozoa.
Limitations, reasons for caution
We excluded post chemotherapy NOA showing 46, XX and AZFa+b+c deletions post bone marrow transplantation from female donor. Additionally, we did not detect AZFc partial deletion including gr/gr deletion. The cohort size of this study is not small, however, our screened population of infertile men may be biased.
Wider implications of the findings
NOA patients with AZFc microdeletions had a high percentage of successful sperm retrieval by micro TESE. Our study emphasizes that diagnosis of Y chromosome microdeletions is critical for preconception genetic counseling and provides clinically valuable prognostic information to couples considering surgical sperm retrieval.

Abstract
Reward reinforces the association between a preceding sensorimotor event and its outcome. Reinforcement learning (RL) theory and recent brain slice studies explain the delayed reward action such that synaptic activities triggered by sensorimotor events leave a synaptic eligibility trace for 1 s. The trace produces a sensitive period for reward-related dopamine to induce synaptic plasticity in the nucleus accumbens (NAc). However, the contribution of the synaptic eligibility trace to behaviour remains unclear. Here we examined a reward-sensitive period to brief pure tones with an accurate measurement of an effective timing of water reward in head-fixed Pavlovian conditioning, which depended on the plasticity-related signaling in the NAc. We found that the reward-sensitive period was within 1 s after the pure tone presentation and optogenetically-induced presynaptic activities at the NAc, showing that the short reward-sensitive period was in conformity with the synaptic eligibility trace in the NAc. These findings support the application of the synaptic eligibility trace to construct biologically plausible RL models.

Abstract
The use of cisplatin may cause nephrotoxicity in patients. Hydration solutions supplemented with magnesium could reduce cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. In this study, we evaluated the preventive effect of magnesium pre-loading on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in patients with esophageal cancer. We retrospectively evaluated the prevalence of, and risk factors for, nephrotoxicity in 160 patients with esophageal cancer treated with the 5-fluorouracil/cisplatin regimen from 2014 to 2016 with and without magnesium supplementation. Significant differences were observed between the magnesium and non-magnesium groups in terms of frequency of estimated creatinine clearance of grade 2 or higher that was at 4% (n = 3) and 13% (n = 10) (p = 0.027), respectively. The logistic regression analysis revealed that eCcr of grade 2 or higher was significantly associated with the non-magnesium regimen (odds ratio (OR), 4.175; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.061-16.430; p = 0.041) and age ≥ 65 years (OR, 13.951; 95% CI = 1.723-112.974; p = 0.014). This study suggests that 20 mEq magnesium pre-loading significantly reduces the prevalence of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Furthermore, when cisplatin is administered to individuals older than 64 years, a close observation for the onset of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity is crucial.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Neointimal maturation after bioresorbable-polymer (BP) drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation will not be complete in the absorption phase of the polymer. We have previously reported local persistent hypercoagulation after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation by measuring local plasma prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2) levels. The aim of this study is to examine time-dependent local coagulative response after BP-DES implantation.
Methods
Sixty-four patients who were treated about ten months earlier with coronary angioplasty, with no evidence of restenosis, were studied [durable-polymer (DP)-DES {SES; Cypher®: 26pts and everolimus-eluting stent (EES); Xience®: 16pts} and BP-DES (BP-EES; Synergy®: 10pts and BP-SES; Ultimaster®: 12pts)]. We measured plasma levels of F1+2 sampled in coronary sinus (CS) and sinus of Valsalva (V) at the early (2±1 months) and chronic (10±2 months) phases. The transcardiac gradient (Δ) was defined as CS level minus V level.
Results
No significant differences were observed in the percent diameter stenosis between the DP- and BP- DES groups (11.5±15.5 vs 14.1±11.9%). The ΔF1+2 was significantly lower in the BP-DES group than in the DP-DES group at the chronic phase (7.5±16.1 vs 16.4±17.1pmol/l, p<0.05). In the BP-DES group, the ΔF1+2 did not differ significantly between the early and chronic phases (7.0±14.1 vs 7.5±16.1pmol/l, NS).
Conclusion
Lower local coagulative response was observed at the chronic phase after BP-DES implantation compared to DP-DES implantation, and local hypercoagulation after BP-DES implantation was not observed at the early phase compared to the chronic phase. These findings might lead to the possibility of shorter dual antiplatelet therapy after BP-DES implantation.

In Japanese guidelines, target value of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) <100mg/dL is recommended as standard management for secondary prevention of coronary artery disease. On the other hand, the guidelines also state that LDL-C targeting <70mg/dL should be considered in high-risk patients. However, the effectiveness of strict LDL-C management in the prevention of long-term coronary event recurrence in Japanese patients remains unclear.
Purpose
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether the strict management of LDL-C targeting <70 mg/dL was effective to prevent recurrence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) than standard management in patients with previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods
From January 2007 to August 2020, we performed coronary angiography in 359 patients with previous PCI who were suspected of having signs of recurrent cardiac ischemia. Patients were stratified into three groups according to achieved LDL-C value; <70mg/dL (n=57), 70 to <100mg/dL (n=135) and ≥100mg/dL (n=167). In addition, patients who had previous ACS and/or diabetes mellitus were defined as high-risk group, and sub-analysis by their achieved LDL-C values was performed in high-risk group and non-high-risk group. Endpoint was recurrence of ACS. Moreover, risk factors associated with recurrent-ACS were examined in patients with LDL-C <100 mg/dL.
Results
After follow-up (median 6.1 years), 99 patients (28%) had recurrent-ACS. Recurrent-ACS was significantly lower in patients with LDL-C <70mg/dL than LDL-C 70 to <100mg/dL and LDL-C ≥100mg/dL (p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively). In sub-analysis, high-risk group with LDL-C <70 mg/dL had lower incidence of recurrent-ACS than LDL-C 70 to <100 mg/dL (p=0.03). Similar tendency was found in non-high-risk group (p=0.08). There was no difference of recurrent-ACS between high-risk group and non-high-risk group in patients with LDL-C <70mg/dL (p=0.41). Moreover, in patients with achieved LDL-C <100mg/dL (n=192), multivariate analysis identified that LDL-C (HR: 1.032, p<0.01) and HbA1c (HR: 1.330, p<0.01) were independent predictors of recurrent-ACS. In these patients, whether or not they were in the high-risk group was not a significant predictor (p=0.61).
Conclusions
Strict management of LDL-C targeting <70 mg/dL should be considered for a wider range of Japanese patients as well as for Westerners to prevent recurrence of ACS in secondary prevention.

Abstract
Background:Coronary periarteritis is one of the clinical manifestations of IgG4-related disease. It can cause serious conditions such as angina and ruptured aneurysms. Therefore, it is important to recognize the clinical and radiological characteristics, which was little known.Objectives:We report four patients with IgG4-related coronary periarteritis with a systematic literature review.Methods:We identified four patients with IgG4-related coronary periarteritis at the St. Luke’s International Hospital in Tokyo, Japan from 2014 to 2020. A systematic literature review was conducted for English articles on IgG4-related coronary periarteritis cases with a full text or abstract available. We summarized patient demographics, IgG and IgG4 titers, the site and morphological type of coronary lesion, and other organ involvements.Results:Our 4 cases and 38 cases identified by the literature review were assessed. Coronary artery lesions were detected by a coronary CT in all but two cases. Wall thickening was the most common type of the lesion. Moreover, there were 32 (76.1%) patients with other organ involvements. The commonest other lesion was peri-aortitis in 21 (50.0%) patients. In cases with peri-aortitis, IgG and IgG4 titers were significantly higher than those without peri-aortitis (IgG4; 1540 [705.0, 2570.0] vs 246.0 [160.0, 536.3]; p = 0.001, IgG; 3596.5 [2838.3, 4260.0] vs 1779.0 [1288.3, 1992.8]; p =0.040). In addition, 15 (71.4%) patients of them had three or more IgG4 related organ involvements.Conclusion:Coronary CT was a useful imaging modality for the diagnosis of IgG4-related coronary periarteritis, and wall thickening was the most common lesion. Moreover, about half cases coexisted with peri-aortitis. Peri-aortitis and other organ involvements should be screened in those with higher IgG and IgG4.Table 1.Characteristics of our cases and the literature review cases.RCA: right coronary artery, LAD: left anterior descending artery, LCx: left circumflex arteryDisclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent advances in adjuvant chemotherapy for early colon cancer have widened physicians' recommendations on the regimen and duration (3 or 6 months) of the treatment. We conducted this prospective study to evaluate whether the 12-gene recurrence score (12-RS) assay affected physicians' recommendations on adjuvant treatment selection. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with stage IIIA/IIIB or stage II colon cancer were enrolled. After the patients discussed adjuvant treatment with their treating physicians, the physicians filled in the questionnaire before assay indicating the treatment recommendation. When the 12-RS assay results were available, the physicians again filled in the questionnaire after assay. The primary endpoint was the rate of change in treatment recommendations from before to after the assay, with a threshold rate of change being 20%. Patients with stage IIIA/B to II were enrolled in a ratio of 2 : 1. RESULTS Overall, the treatment recommendations changed in 40% of cases after obtaining 12-RS assay results. Recommendations were changed in 45% (80/178; 95% confidence interval, 37% to 53%; P < 0.001) and 30% (29/97; 95% confidence interval, 21% to 40%; P < 0.001) of patients with stage IIIA/B and II colon cancer, respectively. Patients with stage IIIA/B cancer had significantly more change than those with stage II cancer (P = 0.0148). From before to after the 12-RS assay, the percentage of patients whose physicians reported being confident in their treatment recommendations significantly increased from 54% to 81% in stage IIIA/B (P < 0.001) and from 65% to 83% in stage II (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our study confirmed the usefulness of the 12-RS assay in aiding the physician-patient decision-making process for tailoring adjuvant chemotherapy for stage IIIA/B colon cancer.

Abstract
Domain-based local pair natural orbital (DLPNO) coupled cluster single and double (CCSD) with triple perturbation (T) correction methods were performed to elucidate the relative stabilities of ten different intermediate structures of the CaMn4Ox cluster in the S0 state of the oxygen evolving complex (OEC) of photosystem II (PSII). Full geometry optimizations of all the S0 intermediates were performed by the UB3LYP-D3/Def2-TZVP methods, providing the assumed geometrical structures and starting natural orbitals (UNO) for DLPNO-CCSD(T)/Def2TZVP calculations. The effective exchange integrals (J) for the spin Hamiltonian models for the ten intermediates were obtained by the UB3LYP/Def2-TZVP calculations followed by the general spin projections. DLPNO-CCSD(T) calculations followed by the CBS extrapolation procedure elucidated that the (II, III, IV, IV) and (III, III, III, IV) valence states in the CaMn4O5 cluster of the OEC of the PS II were nearly degenerated in energy in the S0 state, indicating an important role of dynamical electron correlation effects for the valence and spin fluctuations in strongly correlated electron systems (SCESs) consisting of 3d transition metals.

Abstract
Background: The phase II J003 (N = 169) and phase III RECOURSE (N = 800) trials demonstrated a significant improvement in survival with trifluridine (FTD)/tipiracil (TPI) versus placebo in patients with refractory metastatic colorectal cancer. This post hoc analysis investigated pharmacokinetic data of FTD/TPI exposure and pharmacodynamic markers, such as chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) and clinical outcomes. Patients and methods: A total of 210 patients from RECOURSE were enrolled in this substudy. A limited sampling approach was used, with three pharmacokinetic samples drawn on day 12 of cycle 1. Patients were categorized as being above or below the median area under the plasma concentration–time curve (AUC) for FTD and TPI. We conducted a post hoc analysis using the entire RECOURSE population to determine the correlations between CIN and clinical outcome. We then carried out a similar analysis on the J003 trial to validate the results. Results: In the RECOURSE subset, patients in the high FTD AUC group had a significantly increased CIN risk. Analyses of the entire population demonstrated that FTD/TPI-treated patients with CIN of any grade in cycles 1 and 2 had significantly longer median overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) than patients who did not develop CIN and patients in the placebo group. Patients who required an FTD/TPI treatment delay had increased OS and PFS versus those in the placebo group and those who did not develop CIN. Similar results were obtained in the J003 cohort. Conclusions: In RECOURSE, patients with higher FTD drug exposure had an increased CIN risk. FTD/TPI-treated patients who developed CIN had improved OS and PFS versus those in the placebo group and those who did not develop CIN. Similar findings were reported in the J003 cohort, thus validating the RECOURSE results. The occurrence of CIN may be a useful predictor of treatment outcomes for FTD/TPI-treated patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this study, we examined the factors influencing the presence or absence of dental intervention in patients with pneumonia in an acute-care hospital, focusing on oral intake and its status. DESIGN Observational study. SETTING Teikyo University School of Medicine, Mizonokuchi Hospital. PARTICIPANTS Patients ≥65 years of age who were admitted to the Teikyo University School of Medicine, Mizonokuchi Hospital between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019 with pneumonia who were referred to the Department of Rehabilitation with suspected dysphagia were included in the study. Fifty patients who underwent dental intervention were compared with 50 controls who had received no dental interventions prior to the opening of the dental department. MEASUREMENTS Time series matching was retrospectively performed using the Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT). From the medical records, age at admission, sex, pneumonia severity classification (age, dehydration, respiratory failure, orientation disturbance, and blood pressure [A-DROP] score), body mass index, Charlson's Comorbidity Index, OHAT, functional oral intake scale (FOIS) score at admission and discharge, and the length of hospital stay were retrieved; FOIS level ≥4 was defined as established oral intake. RESULTS The number of patients in the control group before matching was 179. Twelve patients with missing information and seven patients who died in the hospital were excluded from this study. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that dental intervention (odds ratio 3.0, p = 0.014) was associated with the establishment of oral intake at discharge. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that dental intervention was a significant factor for FOIS at discharge (p = 0.002) and the length of hospital stay (p = 0.039). CONCLUSION Oral management with dental intervention was associated with establishing oral intake and reducing hospital stay in patients with pneumonia, regardless of pneumonia severity or comorbidities.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of arrhythmia seen in clinical practice. Recent studies suggest that inflammation contributes to the pathogenesis of AF. On the other hand, several evidence suggests that toll-like receptor (TLR) 9 recognizes bacterial DNA, activating innate immunity, whereas it also provokes inflammation in response to fragmented DNA released from mammalian cells. Recently, we have reported that TLR 9 plays a pivotal role in the development of vascular inflammation and atherogenesis through proinflammatory activation of macrophages.
Purpose
This study aimed to assess whether TLR9 contributes to the AF arrhythmogenesis.
Methods
TLR9 deficient (TLR9−/−) and wild-type mice were infused with angiotensin II (Ang II) or vehicle via an osmotic minipump for 4 weeks. Blood pressure and body weight were measured serially. Then, we examined AF inducibility by intracardiac electrophysiological study and the inflammation-induced atrial remodeling by biochemical analysis after 4 weeks of Ang II infusion.
Results
There was no significant difference in blood pressure and pulse rate between TLR9−/− and wild-type mice both before and after Ang II infusion. Ang II-treated TLR9−/− mice showed lower incidence of AF compared with wild-type mice treated with Ang II. Genetic deletion of TLR9 significantly reduced the interstitial fibrosis in atrium of Ang II-treated mice. TLR9−/− mice also showed less mRNA expressions of inflammatory and fibrosis-related biomarkers (TNF-α, interleukin-6, TGF-β, collagen-1, collagen-3) in atrium compared with wild-type mice.
Conclusions
TLR9 might contribute to the AF arrhythmogenesis associated with atrial inflammation. TLR9 might serve as a potential therapeutic target for AF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In secondary prevention of coronary artery disease, target value of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) <100 mg/dL is recommended as standard management in Japanese guideline. The guideline also stated that strict management of LDL-C targeting <70 mg/dL is considered in some high risk patients. However, in Japanese patients, effectiveness of more strict management of LDL-C lowering therapy for prevention of long-term cardiovascular events remains unclear.
Purpose
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether the strict management of LDL-C targeting <70 mg/dL was effective to prevent recurrence of long-term coronary events than standard management in patients with previous percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods
We investigated 344 patients with previous PCI who underwent late coronary angiography to examine recurrence of cardiac ischemia beyond the early phase of restenosis from January 2007 to August 2019. Patients were stratified into three groups according to achieved LDL-C value; LDL-C <70mg/dL (n=53), 70 to <100mg/dL (n=130) and ≥100mg/dL (n=161). Endpoints of this study were recurrence of cardiac ischemia presenting as acute coronary syndrome (recurrence-ACS) and any late coronary revascularization.
Results
During average 7.1 years follow-up, 200 patients (58%) underwent any late coronary revascularization. In 94 of those patients, recurrence-ACS was observed. The incidence of recurrence-ACS was significantly lower in patients with achieved LDL-C <70mg/dL than in those with LDL-C 70 to <100mg/dL and LDL-C ≥100mg/dL (p=0.009 and p=0.001, respectively), however, there was no difference between patients with LDL-C 70 to <100mg/dL and LDL-C ≥100mg/dL (p=0.140). Any late revascularization was significantly lower in patients with achieved LDL-C <70mg/dL and in those with LDL-C 70 to <100mg/dL than in those with LDL-C ≥100mg/dL (p=0.002 and p<0.001, respectively), however, no difference was found between patients with LDL-C <70mg/dL and LDL-C 70 to <100mg/dL (p=0.119). Moreover, in patients with achieved LDL-C <100mg/dL (n=183), multivariate analysis identified that LDL-C (HR 1.035, p=0.007) and HbA1c (HR 1.338, p=0.001) were independent predictors of recurrence-ACS. In contrast, only using statins (HR 0.461, p=0.009) was an independent predictor of recurrence-ACS in patients with achieved LDL-C ≥100mg/dL.
Conclusions
LDL-C was the important residual risk of recurrence-ACS even after recommended standard LDL-C lowering management had been achieved. More strict management of LDL-C targeting to <70mg/dL should be considered to prevent recurrence-ACS for wider range of Japanese patients in secondary prevention.

Abstract
Objective: We aimed to investigate the involvement of efflux transporters, including multidrug resistant protein 1 (MDR1), multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1), MRP2, and breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), in the intracellular accumulation of the antifibrotic agent nintedanib in fibrotic lung cells. Methods: We used transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)-treated human lung fibroblasts (WI-38) and alveolar epithelial cells (A549) as in vitro models. The expression and activities of efflux transporters in TGF-β1-treated WI-38 and A549 cells were evaluated using immunoblotting and flow cytometry. Cells were treated with nintedanib and then incubated with inhibitors of these transporters. The intracellular concentration of nintedanib was determined. Results: MDR1, MRP1, MRP2, and BCRP were found to be expressed in WI-38 and A549 cells with or without TGF-β1 stimulation, with the exception of MRP2 in WI-38 cells. The efflux activities of these transporters were observed in these cells. MDR1 inhibitors significantly increased the intracellular accumulation of nintedanib, whereas MRP inhibitors did not show an effect. The BCRP inhibitor significantly increased the transporter activity in A549 cells but not in WI-38 cells. Conclusion: This study suggests that the efflux via MDR1 and BCRP is involved in the intracellular accumulation of nintedanib in fibrotic lung cells.

Abstract
C-type lectin receptors recognize microbial polysaccharides. The C-type lectin receptors such as dendritic cell-associated C-type lectin (Dectin)-1 and Dectin-2, which are triggered by β-glucan and α-mannan, respectively, contribute to upregulation of the inflammatory response. Recently, we demonstrated that activation of the Dectin-2 signal delayed wound healing; in previous studies, triggering the Dectin-1 signal promoted this response. However, the precise roles of these C-type lectin receptors in skin wound healing remain unclear. This study was conducted to determine the roles of Dectin-1 and Dectin-2 in skin wound healing, with a particular focus on the kinetics of neutrophilic inflammatory response. Full-thickness wounds were created on the backs of C57BL/6 mice, and the effects of Dectin-1 or Dectin-2 deficiency and those of β-glucan or α-mannan administration were examined. We also analyzed wound closure, histological findings, and neutrophilic inflammatory response, including neutrophil extracellular trap formation at the wound sites. We found that Dectin-1 contributed to the acceleration of wound healing by inducing early-phase neutrophil accumulation, whereas Dectin-2 was involved in prolonged neutrophilic responses and neutrophil extracellular trap formation, leading to delayed wound healing. Dectin-2 deficiency also improved collagen deposition and TGF-β1 expression. These results suggest that Dectin-1 and Dectin-2 have different roles in wound healing through their different effects on the neutrophilic response.

Abstract
Background:Thyroid disorders are known as common comorbidities of rheumatic diseases(RD) [1]. However, data regarding prevalence of hyperthyroidism with treatment indication in RD patients are limited.Objectives:This study aims to reveal and compare the frequency of newly developed hyperthyroidism with treatment indication between RD patients and healthy controls (HC), and identify risk factors to identify patients whose thyroid function should be followed up carefully.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed charts of RD patients and HC who had thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) measured at least once between 2004 and 2018 from immuno-rheumatology center and preventive medicine center in St. Luke’s International Hospital, Japan. We compared frequency of hyperthyroidism requiring treatment (TSH ≦ 0.1μU/mL or for which physicians started treatment) with Kaplan-Meier curve and log rank test. Cox regression multivariate analysis was performed to reveal risk factors for the new onset of hyperthyroidism with treatment indication in participants without treatment-indicated hyperthyroidism at initial assessments.Results:Overall, 2307 RD patients and 78251 HC were included. Newly detected hyperthyroidism with treatment indication were significantly more frequent in RD patients at initial assessment (1.3% vs 0.5 %, p < 0.001) and in total (2.9% vs 1.7%, p<0.001) (Table 1, Figure 1). Cox regression multivariate analysis revealed systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), polymyositis dermatomyositis (PMDM), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) as significant risk factors of new developments of hyperthyroidism during follow up after adjusting confounders.

Abstract
Background:Currently it is hypothesized that many systemic autoimmune diseases occur due to environmental risk factors in addition to genetic risk factors. Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA) is mainly associated with three systemic autoimmune disease including granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). It is known that ANCA can be positive before clinical symptoms in patients with known diagnosis of GPA and ANCA titers rise before clinical manifestations appear. However, prevalence of ANCA among general population is not well known. It has not been described as well how many of people with positive ANCA eventually develop clinical manifestations of ANCA associated Vasculitis.Objectives:This study aims to estimate prevalence of ANCA in general population without ANCA associated Vasculitis. It also describes natural disease course of people with positive ANCA without ANCA associated Vasculitis. Risk factors for positive ANCA are also analyzed.Methods:This is a single center retrospective study at Center for Preventive Medicine of St. Luke’s International Hospital in Tokyo. ANCA was checked among the patients who wished to between 2018 and 2019. St. Luke’s Health Check-up Database (SLHCD) was utilized to collect the data. The patients whose serum was measured for ANCA were identified. The data for basic demographics, social habits, dietary habits and laboratory data were extracted. The charts of the patients with positive ANCA were reviewed.Results:Sera of total 1204 people were checked for ANCA. Of these 1204 people, 587 (48.8%) are male and the mean age was 55.8 years (32.6 to 79). There were total 11 patients with positive ANCA. Myeloperoxidase ANCA (MPO-ANCA) was positive for 3 patients and proteinase 3 ANCA (PR3-ANCA) was positive for 8 patients. Of these 11 patients, 5 were male (45.5%) and the mean age was 54.6 years. Two patients had history of autoimmune disease (primary biliary cirrhosis and ulcerative colitis). Five patients were evaluated by rheumatologists with the median follow-up period of 274 days. None of them developed clinical signs and symptoms of ANCA associated Vasculitis. Four out of five patients had ANCA checked later, two of which turned negative. The prevalence of ANCA in this cohort was 0.9% (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.5% to 1.6%). Univariate analysis was performed to identify risk factors of positive ANCA. The variables analyzed include age, gender, body mass index (BMI), smoking habits, alcohol intake, dietary habits (fruits, fish, red meat), hypertension, dyslipidemia, and laboratory data. None of these variables demonstrated statistically significant differences except for positive rheumatoid factor (ANCA positive group: 33 % vs ANCA negative group: 9.1%, p value = 0.044).Conclusion:The prevalence of ANCA in this cohort was 0.9% (95% CI: 0.5% to 1.6%). None of them who had a follow-up developed ANCA associated Vasculitis during the follow-up period. Longer follow-up and more patients are necessary to determine natural course of people with positive ANCA.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Background:IgG4-Related Disease (IgG4RD) is known to cause multiple organ lesions with infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells, and patients often have relapses with tapering treatments despite an initial good response to glucocorticoids therapy. Mizoribine (MZR) is an immunosuppressant working as an inhibitor of purine synthesis, which mechanism of action is similar to mycophenolate mofetil. Data regarding the efficacy and safety of MZR on IgG4RD is limited although some previous case reports1showed effectiveness for IgG4RD.Objectives:This study aims to assess the efficacy and safety of MZR in patients with IgG4RD.Methods:We retrospectively reviewed charts of IgG4RD patients who used MZR between January 2004 and December 2019 at Immuno-Rheumatology Center in St. Luke’s International Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. We investigated basic demographics, involved organs, results of blood tests including IgG and IgG4 titer, and medications used including glucocorticoid and other immunosuppressants (IS). We followed IgG4 titer, dose of glucocorticoid, flare of disease and retention of MZR at the beginning, 6 and 12months after starting MZR. We compared changes in PSL (prednisolone) doses and IgG4 titers over time using Friedman test with Bonferroni correction. We also checked adverse events during follow up.Results:Twenty-two patients with IgG4RD who used MZR were included. Median age was 62 years old, and 15 (68.2%) patients are male. Lacrimal and salivary glands, pancreatitis and retroperitoneal fibrosis were common lesions. All patients were initially treated with glucocorticoids. Flare was observed in 5 (22.7 %) patients before initiation of MZR. The number of patients who continued MZR without flare are 19 (86.4 %) at 6 months, and 14 (73.7 %) at 12 months. IgG4 titer significantly declined at 6 and 12 months from baseline although significant consecutive decrease in PSL dose (Figure 1, 2). Liver dysfunctions are commonest adverse events (n=16, 72.7%) but mild (grade1; n=15, 68.2%) and most cases are apparently due to other reasons. Serious infection (SI) occurred in 3 (13.6%) patients in total follow up, however no SI were observed during 1 year after MZR treatment.Conclusion:MZR can be safely used in patients of IgG4RD with high retention rate, and seemed to have steroid-sparing effect. Prospective comparative studies are needed.References:[1]Nanke Y, Kobashigawa T, Yago T, Kamatani N, Kotake S.

Abstract
Background:It is well known that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) occurs due to environmental risk factors in addition to genetic risk factors. Rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) are strongly associated with RA, and these biomarkers could turn to be positive before development of clinical symptoms. While smoking, particularly Brinkman index (BI) is well known as a risk factor for RA and ACPA positivity, it is still unclear whether smoking intensity or smoking duration contribute more to positive RF and ACPA.Objectives:This study aims to evaluate risk factors for RF and ACPA positivity in the general population. It also describes whether smoking intensity, duration, and BI are significant.Methods:This is a cross-sectional, observational, single center study. We reviewed the baseline characteristics of the general population who checked RF and ACPA at Preventive Medicine Center in St. Luke’s International Hospital, Tokyo, Japan from January 2004 to December 2018.The data for basic demographics, dietary habit, smoking intensity, smoking duration, BI, and blood tests including RF and ACPA were extracted. The data was analyzed statistically.Results:A total of 127472 people who checked RF are included. Of these 127472 people, 64504 (50.6%) are male and the mean age was 44.9 years. RF was positive in 11477 people (9.0%). Among these, 1667 (1.2%) were checked for ACPA, and 21 people (1.3%) had positive ACPA. None of variables demonstrated significant association with RF positivity. In contrast, BI and smoking duration was significantly associated with an increased risk of ACPA positivity (13.3 years vs 7.49 years, p value = 0.023), although the number of cigarettes smoked was not. The smoking duration for 10 years or more was associated with an increased risk of ACPA positivity even after adjusted for age and sex (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.47 [95% confidence interval: 1.04-5.87]; p=0.04).Conclusion:In this study, no significant risk factor for positive RF was found. Even smoking was not associated with RF positivity. On the other hand, smoking duration, not smoking intensity was significantly associated with an increased risk of ACPA positivity.References:[1]Verpoort KN.

Abstract
Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumor, and the overall prognosis of patients with advanced CRC is still unsatisfactory. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein A (circVAPA) could act as an underlying biomarker in CRC. This study aimed to explore the mechanism of circVAPA in the regulation of CRC growth. Methods CircVAPA level was measured in CRC tumor tissues. The expression levels of circVAPA, VAPA mRNA, microRNA-125a (miR-125a), and cAMP response element binding 5 (CREB5) in CRC cells were detected by RT-qPCR. Cell cycle progression, migration and invasion, extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) and oxygen consumption rate (OCR) were measured by flow cytometry, transwell assays and Seahorse XF96 Glycolysis Analyzer, severally. The levels of glucose uptake, lactate and ATP production were examined by Glucose Uptake Colorimetric Assay kit, Lactate Assay kit and ATP Colorimetric Assay kit, respectively. The interaction between miR-125a and circVAPA or CREB5 was predicted by Starbase or DIANA TOOL, and verified by the dual-luciferase reporter and RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP) assays. Results CircVAPA level was up-regulated in CRC tumor tissues. Expression levels of circVAPA and CREB5 were increased, and miR-125a was decreased in CRC cells. CircVAPA knockdown repressed CRC cells cycle progression, migration, invasion and glycolysis. CircVAPA acted as a miR-125a sponge to regulate CREB5 expression. Rescue assay confirmed that miR-125a deletion or CREB5 overexpression weakened the inhibitory effect of circVAPA knockdown on CRC growth. Conclusion Our studies disclosed that circVAPA knockdown suppressed CRC cells cycle progression, migration, invasion and glycolysis partly by modulating miR-125a/CREB5 axis, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for CRC treatment.

Abstract
Dopamine D2 receptors (D2Rs) are densely expressed in the striatum and have been linked to neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia1,2. High-affinity binding of dopamine suggests that D2Rs detect transient reductions in dopamine concentration (the dopamine dip) during punishment learning3-5. However, the nature and cellular basis of D2R-dependent behaviour are unclear. Here we show that tone reward conditioning induces marked stimulus generalization in a manner that depends on dopamine D1 receptors (D1Rs) in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of mice, and that discrimination learning refines the conditioning using a dopamine dip. In NAc slices, a narrow dopamine dip (as short as 0.4 s) was detected by D2Rs to disinhibit adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR)-mediated enlargement of dendritic spines in D2R-expressing spiny projection neurons (D2-SPNs). Plasticity-related signalling by Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and A2ARs in the NAc was required for discrimination learning. By contrast, extinction learning did not involve dopamine dips or D2-SPNs. Treatment with methamphetamine, which dysregulates dopamine signalling, impaired discrimination learning and spine enlargement, and these impairments were reversed by a D2R antagonist. Our data show that D2Rs refine the generalized reward learning mediated by D1Rs.
