Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between the dissatisfaction of family caregivers with diabetes treatment and depressive symptoms among the elderly. METHODS The subjects were diabetic patients of 65 years of age or older and their family caregivers, who were outpatients at Ise Red Cross Hospital. The Japanese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire 9, which consists of nine items, was used to measure depressive symptoms. The Japanese version of the Treatment Satisfaction Scale for Caregivers of Dependent Diabetic Patients (STCD2-J) was used to measure the satisfaction of family caregivers with diabetes treatment. A logistic regression analysis was performed using depressive symptoms as dependent variable, satisfaction of the family caregiver with diabetes treatment as an explanatory variable, and adjustment variables. RESULTS In total, 272 patients were included in the analysis. Taking the quintiles of STCD2-J scores, the adjusted odds ratios for patient depressive symptoms in Q2 (27-29), Q3 (24-26), Q4 (22-23) and Q5 (14-21) based on Q1 (30-36) (the group with the highest STCD2-J scores) were 2.44 (95% confidence interval (CI), 0.69-8.61; P=0.163), 3.08 (95% CI, 0.93-10.12; P=0.063), 2.69 (95% CI, 0.68-10.65; P=0.156), and 4.54 (95% CI, 1.44-14.32; P=0.010), respectively. CONCLUSION We found that family caregivers' decreased satisfaction with diabetes treatment was associated with depressive symptoms. It is important to alert primary care physicians about depressive symptoms when they see family caregivers who show decreased satisfaction with diabetes treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Amivantamab plus carboplatin-pemetrexed (chemotherapy) with and without lazertinib demonstrated antitumor activity in patients with refractory epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in phase I studies. These combinations were evaluated in a global phase III trial. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 657 patients with EGFR-mutated (exon 19 deletions or L858R) locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC after disease progression on osimertinib were randomized 2 : 2 : 1 to receive amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy, chemotherapy, or amivantamab-chemotherapy. The dual primary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) of amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy. During the study, hematologic toxicities observed in the amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy arm necessitated a regimen change to start lazertinib after carboplatin completion. RESULTS All baseline characteristics were well balanced across the three arms, including by history of brain metastases and prior brain radiation. PFS was significantly longer for amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy [hazard ratio (HR) for disease progression or death 0.48 and 0.44, respectively; P < 0.001 for both; median of 6.3 and 8.3 versus 4.2 months, respectively]. Consistent PFS results were seen by investigator assessment (HR for disease progression or death 0.41 and 0.38 for amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy, respectively; P < 0.001 for both; median of 8.2 and 8.3 versus 4.2 months, respectively). Objective response rate was significantly higher for amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy (64% and 63% versus 36%, respectively; P < 0.001 for both). Median intracranial PFS was 12.5 and 12.8 versus 8.3 months for amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy versus chemotherapy (HR for intracranial disease progression or death 0.55 and 0.58, respectively). Predominant adverse events (AEs) in the amivantamab-containing regimens were hematologic, EGFR-, and MET-related toxicities. Amivantamab-chemotherapy had lower rates of hematologic AEs than amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Amivantamab-chemotherapy and amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy improved PFS and intracranial PFS versus chemotherapy in a population with limited options after disease progression on osimertinib. Longer follow-up is needed for the modified amivantamab-lazertinib-chemotherapy regimen.

Abstract
Corporate response to natural disaster in the forms of cash and/or in-kind donations (corporate philanthropic disaster response, or CPDR) is a growing form of corporate philanthropy. Through an event study methodology based on 1,775 firms listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, we analyze shareholder reaction to CPDR announcements after the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes in Japan. Controlling for the possibility that the most common explanations (buying goodwill and corporate governance) are at play, our results provide an empirical test of a little-explored explanation for the positive shareholder reaction to CPDR: namely, that corporate philanthropy is a market signal to outside investors of the firm’s future financial prospects. We find this explanation to be significant. Of note are also the facts that shareholder reaction is only significantly positive in the case of cash donation (as opposed to in-kind), and is more positive when announced early. Overall, our results align with the “strategic philanthropy” view grounded in resource-dependence theory. But instead of the typical focus on non-financial stakeholders, we argue that philanthropic donations can be used to directly influence investors.

Abstract
We used a consensus statement to diagnose sarcopenic obesity, evaluated incidence of sarcopenic obesity in older patients with diabetes, and examined whether sarcopenic obesity was associated with their higher-level functional capacity. Outpatients with diabetes (age, ≥65 years) undergoing treatment at Ise Red Cross Hospital were included. The Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of Competence (TMIG-IC)-a self-administered questionnaire-was used to assess their higher-level functional capacity. Sarcopenic obesity was evaluated based on the consensus statement diagnostic criteria-i.e., presence or absence of decreased skeletal muscle mass was evaluated based on appendicular skeletal muscle mass/body weight and obesity was assessed based on body fat mass percentage. To calculate the adjusted β coefficient of sarcopenic obesity for higher-level functional capacity, multiple regression analyses were performed using TMIG-IC scores as the dependent variable and four categories (non-sarcopenia/non-obesity was used as a reference) that included sarcopenia and obesity as the predictor and moderator variables. Among the 310 patients included, the sarcopenic obesity incidence was 13.1% and 14.2% in men and women, respectively. When the non-sarcopenia/non-obesity group was used as a reference, the adjusted β coefficient of sarcopenic obesity for scores of the TMIG-IC was -2.09 (p = 0.014) in men. However, the women showed no relationship between sarcopenic obesity and TMIG-IC scores. In older men with diabetes, sarcopenic obesity was associated with a decline in higher-level functional capacity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between loneliness and malnutrition in elderly diabetic patients. METHODS The subjects were diabetic patients ≥65 years old who were outpatients at Ise Red Cross Hospital. The nutritional status was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form (MNA-SF), and patients were defined as being undernourished if their total score was <11 points. Loneliness was assessed using the Japanese version of the short form of the loneliness scale, a self-administered questionnaire, and a total score of ≥6 was considered to indicate loneliness. A logistic regression analysis was used to calculate the adjusted odds ratio of loneliness to undernutrition, with the dependent variable being undernutrition, the explanatory variable being loneliness, and the adjustment variable being loneliness. RESULTS A total of 163 patients were included in the analysis of this study. Of these, 25.8% were lonely, and 33.7% were undernourished. The unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios of loneliness to undernutrition were 2.55 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24-5.27; P=0.011) and 3.81 (95% CI, 1.27-11.39; P=0.017), respectively. CONCLUSION Loneliness is associated with a low nutritional status in elderly diabetic patients. It is important to alert diabetic patients with loneliness to their low nutritional status when they are diagnosed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the frequency of cachexia and its associated factors in elderly diabetic patients. METHODS The subjects were diabetic patients ≥65 years old attending the outpatient diabetes clinic of Ise Red Cross Hospital. Cachexia was evaluated as having three or more of the following: (1) muscle weakness, (2) fatigue, (3) anorexia, (4) decreased lean body mass, and (5) biochemical abnormalities. A logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with cachexia, with the dependent variable as cachexia and explanatory variables as various variables (basic attributes, glucose-related parameters, comorbidities, and treatment). RESULTS A total of 404 patients (233 males and 171 females) were included in the study. Twenty-two (9.4%) and twenty-two (12.8%) male and female patients, respectively, had cachexia. A logistic regression analysis showed that the HbA1c value (odds ratio [OR], 0.26,95% confidence interval [CI], 0.08-0.81; P=0.021) and cognitive and functional decline (OR, 11.81, 95% CI, 1.81-76.95; P = 0.010) were factors associated with cachexia. In women, type 1 diabetes (OR, 12.39, 95% CI, 2.33-65.87; P=0.003), the HbA1c value (OR, 1.71, 95% CI, 1.07-2.74; P=0.024), and insulin usage (OR, 0.14, 95% CI, 0.02-0.71; P=0.018) were cachexia-related factors. CONCLUSIONS The frequency of cachexia in elderly diabetic patients and its associated factors were identified. It is important to increase awareness of the risk of cachexia in elderly diabetic patients with poor glycemic control, cognitive and functional decline, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and insulin non-use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between a low phase angle (PA) and falls in elderly diabetic patients. METHODS The subjects were diabetic patients ≥65 years old who were outpatients at Ise Red Cross Hospital. Patients were asked about their fall history using a self-administered questionnaire. The PA was measured by the multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance method, and the subjects were classified into two groups: the first quartile with the smallest PA (T1 group) and the second and third quartiles (T2/3 groups). A logistic regression analysis with falls as the dependent variable, PA as the explanatory variable, and adjustment variables was used to calculate the odds ratio of the PA for falls. RESULTS A total of 255 patients were included in the analysis of this study. Of these, 33.3% were in the T1 group, 66.7% were in the T2/3 group, and 28.2% had fallen. The unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios for falls in the PA were 2.92 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.31-4.07; P=0.004) and 2.34 (95% CI, 1.07-5.09; P=0.031), respectively. CONCLUSION A low PA was associated with falls in elderly diabetic patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the screening performance and validity of the "Koshi-heso" (waist-umbilicus) test for visceral fatty obesity in elderly diabetic patients. METHODS Subjects were diabetic patients ≥65 years old visiting our outpatient clinic. As a "Koshi-heso" test, the distance between the umbilicus and the superior border of the iliac crest (waist) was measured with the patient's own finger. When the index finger reached the umbilicus and there was a gap between the finger and the abdominal wall, the patient was classified as "smaller"; when the index finger reached the umbilicus and there was no gap between the finger and the abdominal wall, the patient was classified as "just fit"; and when the index finger did not reach the umbilicus, the patient was classified as "bigger". Abdominal circumference was used to assess visceral fat obesity, with a cut-off value of ≥85 cm for men and ≥90 cm for women. Visceral fat mass and body fat percentage were evaluated by the multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance method. The sensitivity and specificity of the waist-umbilical test for visceral fat obesity were calculated. Pearson's correlation coefficients between the "Koshi-heso" test and visceral fat mass and body fat percentage were calculated to evaluate the validity of the test. Furthermore, the association between the "Koshi-heso" test and risk factors for vascular disease, microvascular complications and cardiovascular disease was assessed by a logistic analysis. RESULTS A total of 221 patients were included in the analysis population of the study. The cut-off values of "just fit" in men (sensitivity 0.96, specificity 0.62) and "bigger" in women (sensitivity 0.76, specificity 0.78) were optimal. Furthermore, the "Koshi-heso" test was significantly correlated with abdominal visceral fat mass and body fat percentage as well as with vascular disease risk factors and microvascular complications. CONCLUSION The "Koshi-heso" test was able to be used as a screening method for visceral fatty obesity in elderly diabetic patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study examined the relationship between loneliness and higher-level functions in elderly diabetic patients. METHODS The subjects were diabetic patients ≥65 years old who were outpatients at Ise Red Cross Hospital. The Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of Competence (TMIG-IC), a self-administered questionnaire, was used to assess higher-level functions. To evaluate loneliness, we used a shortened version of the Japanese version of the loneliness scale, a self-administered questionnaire. A multiple regression analysis with TMIG-IC scores as the dependent variable, loneliness as the explanatory variable, and adjustment variables was used to calculate the adjusted partial regression coefficients of loneliness on higher-level functions. RESULTS One hundred and seventy patients were included in the present analysis. Ninety-one patients (53.5%) had loneliness, and the mean TMIG-IC score was 11.3. The unadjusted and adjusted partial regression coefficients of loneliness on higher-level functions were -1.61 (95% confidence interval [CI], -2.31 to -0.91; < 0.001) and -0.88 (95% CI, -1.52 to -0.23; P=0.008), respectively. CONCLUSION Loneliness in elderly diabetic patients was found to be associated with lower higher-level functions. It is important to remind patients with diabetes mellitus who have loneliness about the risk of a decline in their higher-level functions.

Abstract
BackgroundIL-6 contributes significantly to the chronic inflammatory process of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is elevated in serum and synovial fluid of RA patients.Sarilumab (SRL), a human anti-human IL-6 receptor alpha monoclonal antibody that blocks the signaling originated by the IL-6/IL-6R complex like tocilizumab (TCZ),is an effective treatment. Recently, an association between the therapeutic effect of TCZ and neutropenia after TCZ initiation was reported[1]. Neutropenia is a common adverse event of SRL in patients with RA, but the relationship between reduced neutrophil count and clinical response to SRL is still inconclusive. In EULAR 2020, we reported the association between serum soluble gp130 levels before SRL treatment and the efficacy of SRL[2]. It is also unclear whether there is a relationship between IL-6 axis cytokines and SRL-induced neutropenia.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine whether neutropenia at 1 month by SRL predicts clinical remission within 3 months and whether there is an association between IL-6 axis cytokines levels and SRL-induced neutropenia.MethodsThis research is a retrospective study. We reviewed medical records of RA patients initiating SRL between February 2018 and August 2021 in our hospital. The Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) was evaluated at baseline (before initiating SRL) and 3 months after administration. Clinical remission was defined when CDAI decreased ≤ 2.8. Of the 66 patients treated with SRL, 42 patients with 3 months follow-up, valid CDAI and serum available were enrolled. The ratio of neutrophil counts 1 month after initiating SRL to those at baseline (neutrophil ratio) was also calculated. Serum samples were tested for IL-6 (Human IL-6 Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems), sIL-6R (Human soluble IL-6R alpha Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems) and sgp130 (Human soluble gp130 Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems) using specific ELISAs according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The statistical analyses were performed with EZR 1.55, and p values less than 0.05 were considered significant.ResultsThe median age of patients was 69.0 (IQR: 59.3 - 73.8) years and the median of disease duration was 9.0 (3.0 - 16.0) years. Eighteen (42.9%) patients were biologics and Jakinibs naive. The baseline CDAI was median 16.7 (11.5 - 25.8). When comparing CDAI-remission group (clinical remission: CR) and non-CR group, Patients in the CR group had significantly shorter disease duration, were more Biologic and JAKinib naive, and had greater neutropenia 1 month after starting SRL (0.71 vs 0.94, P=0.0252). There was no significant difference in the baseline serum levels of IL-6, sIL-6R between the CR and non-CR groups, but baseline serum sgp130 levels in the CR group tended to be higher than in the non-CR group (264.9 vs 234.2 ng/mL, P=0.0592). Univariate logistic regression analysis suggested Biologics and JAKinibs naive (odds ratio (OR) 6.68, p = 0.0317), baseline serum sgp130 levels (OR 8.608, P=0.0312) as predictors of CDAI remission treated with SRL at 3 months. Although not significant, neutrophil ratio ≤ 0.8 was associated with achieving remission (OR 6.67, P=0.0537). Univariate logistic regression for neutrophil ratio ≤ 0.8 did not show any relevant factors, including higher baseline serum sgp130 levels (OR 1.25, P=0.782).ConclusionA 20% or greater decrease in neutrophil count after 1 month of SRL treatment and a high baseline serum sgp130 level independently predict clinical remission within 3 months.References[1]Nakajima T, Watanabe R, Hashimoto M, Murata K, Murakami K, Tanaka M, et al.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between a history of falls and being homebound in elderly diabetic patients. METHODS The subjects were diabetic patients ≥65 years old visiting the outpatient clinic of Ise Red Cross Hospital. Patients were defined as being confined if they went out less than once a day, and their history of falls in the past year was investigated. Adjusted odds ratios for being homebound were calculated using a logistic regression analysis with a dependent variable of being homebound and explanatory variables of a history of falls and adjustment factors (age, sex, duration of diabetes, HbA1c, cardiovascular disease, cognitive and functional decline, depression, living alone, isolation, and diabetes treatment). RESULTS A total of 564 patients (319 men and 245 women) were included in the study. The numbers of patients with a history of falls and who were homebound were 198 (35.1%) and 88 (15.6%), respectively. The adjusted odds ratio for being homebound to a history of falls was 2.69 (95% confidence interval, 1.31 to 5.52; P=0.007). CONCLUSION In this study, a history of falls was significantly associated with being homebound. It is important to pay close attention to homebound elderly diabetic patients with a history of falls.

Abstract
Background:Mac-2 binding protein is a cell-adhesive glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix secreted as a ligand of galectin-3 (Mac-2). Recently, a Wisteria floribunda agglutinin positive-M2BP (M2BP) assay developed using a lectin-antibody sandwich immunoassay has shown promise as a new fibrotic marker in liver fibrosis and interstitial lung disease (ILD) to detect unique fibrosis-related glycoalteration.Objectives:The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of serum Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) levels in patients with rheumatic diseases (RD).Methods:We retrospectively measured serum M2BPGi levels in 68 patients with RD and 16 healthy controls (HC). There were no patients of cirrhosis and active hepatitis. Serum levels of M2BPGi were measured using HISCL M2BP glycosylation isomer Assay Kit. We examined the relationship between serum M2BPGi levels and clinical parameters in patients with RD.Results:In patients with RD, the median age was 62.0 years and 79.4% of them were female.Serum M2BPGi levels were significantly higher in patients with RD than in HC (median 0.98 cutoff index [COI], 0.32 COI, respectively; P < 0.00001). Patients with SLE tended to have higher serum M2BPGi levels than other rheumatic diseases.In patients with RD, a significant correlation was not found between serum M2BP levels and inflammation markers such as CRP or ferritin. However, serum M2BPGi levels were significantly correlated with B cell activation markers such as immunoglobulin free light chain and IgG (r = 0.588, 0.504) and T cell activation marker such as sIL-2R (r = 0.408).Conclusion:Most of the rheumatic diseases in this study were considered to be type I interferonopathy diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren’s syndrome, inflammatory myositis, scleroderma and SLE.Serum M2BPGi was reported to have a significant correlation with SLE disease activity [SS Ahn et al. Lupus. 2018; 27: 771], and also to have a significant correlation with Gakectin-9, a novel biomarker for IFN signiture [Lucas L van den Hoogen et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2018; 77: 1810].So, it was suggested that serum M2BPGi may be a novel biomarker that indirectly indicates how much IFN is activated in rheumatic diseases.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the association between SARC-F questionnaire positivity and mortality has previously been studied, the results are inconsistent. Testing the predictive validity of the SARC-F questionnaire for clinically relevant outcomes of vital prognoses is important. AIM The objective of this study was to test the predictive validity of SARC-F by conducting a meta-analysis on the association between SARC-F, a screening tool for sarcopenia, and mortality. METHODS This meta-analysis used the MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar databases for literature searches. Studies that examined the relationship between SARC-F questionnaire positivity and mortality and reported hazard ratios or odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were included. A random-effects model was used for statistical analyses, and pooled hazard ratios, pooled odds ratios, and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. RESULTS Through the literature search, we found five studies (7501 individuals) that met the eligibility criteria for this study. The pooled hazard ratio for SARC-F questionnaire positivity and mortality was 1.87 (95% confidence interval 1.41-2.46; P < 0.001), indicating a significant association. The pooled odds ratio for SARC-F questionnaire positivity and mortality was 1.97 (95% confidence intervals 1.10-3.53; P = 0.02), showing a significant association. CONCLUSIONS There was a significant association between SARC-F positivity and future mortality, indicating the predictive validity of the SARC-F questionnaire. TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of a multimodal treatment program on the muscle strength, physical function, and skeletal muscle mass in elderly diabetic patients with sarcopenia. METHODS Diabetic patients over 65 years old attending the Department of Diabetes and Metabolism, Ise Red Cross Hospital, were included. The diagnosis of sarcopenia was based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019. The measurement of extremity skeletal muscle mass was assessed by the multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance method, muscle strength was assessed by the grip strength, and the physical function was assessed by the 5-time chair stand test. The muscle strength, physical function, extremity skeletal muscle mass, and other parameters were assessed before and after 12 weeks of the multimodal treatment program (optimization of protein intake, resistance training, and patient education on sarcopenia) and then compared. Paired t-tests were used for the statistical analysis. RESULTS Fourteen patients (3 men and 11 women) were included in the analysis of this study. The mean age was 74.4±4.7 years old. Significant improvements in the grip strength (male, 23.2±5.6 kg to 25.6±5.5 kg, P=0.014; female, 15.5±5.0 kg to 18.9±5.0 kg, P<0.001) and 5-time chair stand test (11.2±2.5 seconds to 8.6±1.7 seconds, P=0.002) were found with the multimodal treatment program. There was also a significant decrease in HbA1c (8.1±0.7% to 7.7±0.9%, P=0.004). However, although an increasing trend in the amount of extremity skeletal muscle mass was noted, there was no significant difference. CONCLUSIONS A multimodal treatment program for elderly diabetic patients with sarcopenia showed an improvement in the muscle strength and physical function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When considering the administration of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, or metformin, it is important to understand their weight loss effect as well as the degree of muscle loss caused by each drug in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE To comparatively examine the effects of GLP-1RAs and oral antidiabetic drugs, including SGLT2 inhibitors and metformin, on muscle mass and body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes via a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. METHODS We included randomized controlled trials evaluating the effects of antidiabetic drugs on muscle mass and body weight. Mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random-effects network meta-analysis. RESULTS Of the studies identified, 18 randomized controlled trials (1, 363 subjects) satisfied the eligibility criteria. In all studies, the effects of these drugs on fat-free mass (FFM) were evaluated. Therefore, FFM, which is used as an alternative index of muscle mass, was included in the study. Semaglutide (MD: -1.68, 95% CI: -2.84 to -0.52), dapagliflozin (-0.53, -0.93 to -0.13), and canagliflozin (-0.90, -1.73 to -0.07) showed a significant decrease in FFM compared with the placebo. Metformin did not show a significant decrease in FFM compared with the placebo. When compared with the placebo, semaglutide, dapagliflozin, ipragliflozin, and canagliflozin showed a significant weight loss. CONCLUSION Although semaglutide, dapaglifrozin, and canagliflozin have a large weight loss effect, it is important to pay attention to muscle loss because a decrease in FFM was observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed at investigating factors associated with social isolation and being homebound in older patients with diabetes. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTINGS Those undergoing outpatient treatments at Ise Red Cross Hospital, Mie Prefecture. PARTICIPANTS Patients with diabetes aged ≥65 years. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Social isolation was defined as indulging in less than one interaction per week with individuals other than cohabiting family members. We defined homebound as going outside home less than once a day. To identify factors associated with social isolation and being homebound, we performed logistic regression analysis. The dependent variable was social isolation or homebound and independent variables were basic attributes, glycaemic parameters, complications and treatment details. RESULTS We analysed 558 cases (320 men and 238 women). Among these, 174 (31.2%) were socially isolated; meanwhile, 87 (15.6%) were homebound. The glycoalbumin/haemoglobin A1c ratio (OR 4.52; 95% CI 1.07 to 19.1; p=0.040) and the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of Competence (TMIG-IC) scores (OR 0.72; 95% CI 0.57 to 0.90; p=0.006) had significant associations with social isolation. TMIG-IC scores (OR 0.78; 95% CI 0.66 to 0.92; p=0.003) and insulin use (OR 4.29; 95% CI 1.14 to 16.1; p=0.031) were associated with being homebound. CONCLUSION In older patients with diabetes, glycaemic fluctuations and insulin use are associated with social isolation and being homebound, respectively. In addition, a decline in higher level functional capacity is a common factor associated with social isolation and being homebound. Thus, it is important to pay attention to social isolation and being homebound when a decline in higher level functional capacity, increased glycaemic fluctuations and insulin use in older patients with diabetes are observed.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to adapt and psychometrically evaluate a Japanese language version of the Diabetes Caregiver Activity and Support Scale (D-CASS-J) to be culturally relevant for people with diabetes living in Japan. METHODS A Japanese translation of the original version of the D-CASS was prepared, corrected, and back-translated. Family caregivers of patients with diabetes mellitus ages ≥65 years who visited the outpatient diabetes clinic of Ise Red Cross Hospital were included. Cronbach's α coefficients were calculated as an assessment of internal consistency. Exploratory factor analyses were performed to verify construct validity. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were performed using depression as the dependent variable and D-CASS-J and other variables as explanatory variables. Pearson's correlation coefficients between D-CASS-J scores and the support burden scale scores were calculated to verify criterion-related validity. RESULTS This analysis included 268 subjects. Cronbach's α coefficient was .86. Factor analyses showed the same single-factor structure as the original version of the D-CASS. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses based on the conceptual model demonstrated construct validity. D-CASS-J scores were significantly correlated with support burden scale scores. CONCLUSIONS For family caregivers of elderly patients with diabetes in Japan, D-CASS-J can be used as a tool to evaluate difficulties experienced while providing support to patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the frequency of social isolation (hereinafter, isolation) and homeboundness in elderly diabetic patients and to investigate their relationships with high-level functional capacity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Subjects were diabetic outpatients aged 65 years and older who were visiting the Japanese Red Cross Ise Hospital. Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of Competence (TMIG-IC) was used to evaluate high-level functional capacity. Isolation was defined as having less than one interaction per week with someone other than co-habiting family members. Homeboundness was defined as leaving the house less than once a day. Multiple regression analysis was performed with the TMIG-IC score as the dependent variable and isolation and homeboundness as independent variables. RESULTS Four hundred fifty-one patients were included in the analysis. The frequency of isolation and homeboundness affected 37% and 13.3% of men and 28.9% and 20.6% of women, respectively. The adjusted partial regression coefficient of the TMIG-IC scores of isolated, homebound, and isolated+homebound men was -0.94 [95% confidence interval (CI), -1.68 to -0.21; P = 0.012], -0.27 (95% CI, -1.93 to 1.39; P = 0.746), and -4.03 (95% CI, -5.37 to -2.68; P < 0.001) in relation to that of the non-isolated and non-homebound group as reference. In women, the respective coefficients to the reference were -1.33 (95% CI, -2.93 to 0.25; P = 0.099), -0.65 (95% CI, -2.56 to 1.26; P = 0.501), and -3.01 (95% CI, -4.92 to -1.1; P = 0.002), respectively. CONCLUSION The frequency of isolation was high in both female and male elderly diabetic patients. In men, there was a significant relationship between isolation and decline in high-level functional capacity. In both men and women, there was a significant relationship between isolation+homeboundness and decline in high-level functional capacity.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of nivolumab treatment beyond progressive disease (PD) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS/METHODS Medical records of consecutive patients with advanced NSCLC who received nivolumab between December 2015 and December 2018 were reviewed. Clinical outcomes of three groups of eligible patients who received nivolumab as a second-line treatment after PD were compared based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1. We conducted subgroup analyses in patients with and without new lesions at first PD. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients continued nivolumab treatment beyond PD (TBP). Post PD, 46 patients switched to other anti-cancer treatment (OAT), and 21 received no further anti-cancer treatment (NAT). There were no significant differences in overall survival (OS) or survival post progression (SPP) between TBP and OAT groups (OS: 15.6 vs. 13.4 months, P = .40, SPP: 12.2 vs. 9.3 months, P = .42). Subgroup analyses indicated that among patients without new lesions at first PD, SPP was longer in the TBP than in the OAT groups (12.6 vs. 9.3 months, P = .22, HR: 0.64; 95% CI 0.31‒1.31). The frequency of immune-related adverse events leading to discontinuation during nivolumab beyond PD was equivalent to that for pre-PD (10.7 vs. 12.6%). CONCLUSIONS No significant benefits were associated with continuation of nivolumab for advanced NSCLC patients. Continuation of nivolumab beyond PD could be a more useful option in patients without new lesions at first PD. Treatment-related toxicities require attention during nivolumab treatment not only before PD but also beyond PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the association between SARC-F questionnaire positivity and mortality has previously been studied, the results are inconsistent. Testing the predictive validity of the SARC-F questionnaire for clinically relevant outcomes of vital prognoses is important. AIM The objective of this study was to test the predictive validity of SARC-F by conducting a meta-analysis on the association between SARC-F, a screening tool for sarcopenia, and mortality. METHODS This meta-analysis used the MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Google Scholar databases for literature searches. Studies that examined the relationship between SARC-F questionnaire positivity and mortality and reported hazard ratios or odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were included. A random-effects model was used for statistical analyses, and pooled hazard ratios, pooled odds ratios, and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. RESULTS Through the literature search, we found five studies (7501 individuals) that met the eligibility criteria for this study. The pooled hazard ratio for SARC-F questionnaire positivity and mortality was 1.87 (95% confidence interval 1.41-2.46; P < 0.001), indicating a significant association. The pooled odds ratio for SARC-F questionnaire positivity and mortality was 1.97 (95% confidence intervals 1.10-3.53; P = 0.02), showing a significant association. CONCLUSIONS There was a significant association between SARC-F positivity and future mortality, indicating the predictive validity of the SARC-F questionnaire. TRIAL REGISTRATION Not applicable.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to prepare a Japanese version of the "Satisfaction of Treatment among Caregivers of Dependent Type 2 Diabetic Patients" (STCD2-J) questionnaire, which is used to assess the satisfaction of family caregivers with respect to the treatment for elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who require support. In addition, the reliability and validity of the STCD2-J questionnaire were analyzed. A Japanese version of the original STCD2 questionnaire was prepared, revised, and back-translated; the back-translated version was sent to the authors of the original version for confirmation. Family caregivers of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged ≥65 years who regularly underwent medical examinations at the diabetes mellitus outpatient clinic of Ise Red Cross Hospital were included. Cronbach's α coefficient was calculated to assess internal consistency. Exploratory factor analyses were performed to assess construct validity, and Pearson's correlation coefficients between STCD2-J score and HbA1c as well as the degree of satisfaction with patients' blood glucose levels, depression, and negative self-assessment of nursing care were calculated to assess criterion-related validity. This study included 208 individuals (55 males and 153 females). Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.88. Factor analyses showed a single-factor structure both with and without rotation. The STCD2-J scores were significantly inversely correlated with HbA1c (r = -0.27, P < 0.001). Significant correlations were observed between the STCD2-J scores and degree of satisfaction with patients' blood glucose levels (r = 0.43, P < 0.001), depression (r = -0.20, P = 0.003), and negative self-assessment of nursing care (r = -0.19, P = 0.004). The reliability and validity of the STCD2-J questionnaire were confirmed. The STCD2-J questionnaire can be used in Japan as a tool to assess the satisfaction of family caregivers with the treatment of elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus requiring support.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of flash glucose monitoring on dietary variety, physical activity, and self-care behavior in patients with diabetes. This study included outpatients with diabetes using insulin who presented at the Department of Diabetes and Metabolism of the Ise Red Cross Hospital. Before initiating flash glucose monitoring and 12 weeks after its initiation, blood glucose-related parameters were assessed and self-administered questionnaires were completed (Dietary Variety Score (DVS), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Measure (SDSCA), and the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ)) and compared between the two time points. We analyzed 42 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus and 48 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but not type 1 diabetes mellitus, there was an increase in moderate/high category scores for IPAQ (P < 0.001) and for treatment satisfaction reported via DTSQ. Furthermore, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the glycemic excursion index improved significantly and HbA1c decreased significantly (from 7.7 (1.2) to 7.4 (0.8), P = 0.025). Results showed that standard deviation and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions significantly decreased in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (from 71.2 (20.4) to 66.2 (17.5), P = 0.033 and from 124.6 (31.9) to 108.1 (28.4), P < 0.001, respectively). Flash glucose monitoring is a useful tool to improve physical activity in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Cardiovascular surgery is a highly invasive intervention that is often performed in elderly patients at risks of complications because of malnutrition and reduced immunity. This study investigated nutritional factors that affected length of hospital stay in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery. Among 68 patients who underwent surgery at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Gifu Municipal Hospital between April 2013 and March 2015, 55 with complete data were included in the analysis. Data on serum albumin (ALB), transferrin (Tf), pre-albumin (PA) and retinol binding protein (RBP) levels were collected. The median length of hospital stay was 29 days (stays of ≥30 days were considered long-term hospitalization). Multivariate analysis (multiple logistic regression) included age (≥ 65 years), sex (female), and ALB (≤ 3.0 g/dL), Tf (≤ 150.0 mg/dL), PA (≤ 10.0 mg/dL) and RBP (≤ 1.5 mg/dL) levels. ALB [odds ratio (OR) 10.37, 95% CI (confidence interval): 1.185-90.80, P = 0.035] and Tf [OR 4.743, 95% CI: 1.375-16.36, P = 0.014] were significantly associated with length of hospital stay. Nutritional management of patients and careful monitoring of ALB and Tf levels can shorten length of hospital stay in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery.

Abstract
The goal of the present study was to determine the effect of sole horn thickness (SHT) and sole horn hardness (SHD) on ultrasonographic visualization of sole structures in the inner and outer claws of 150 Holstein-Friesian cows, and to evaluate different ultrasound frequencies for this purpose. Ultrasonographic views of the sole structure were considered complete when 3 echogenic lines, representing the ventral surface of the sole horn, the borders of the sole horn and soft-tissue layer, and the ventral surface of the distal phalanx, were seen. The proportion of complete ultrasonographic views of the sole structures, designated as the ultrasonographic visualization proportion (UVP), and the measurement errors of SHT were evaluated by comparing images from computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography. The latter images were generated using 3 different probes, frequencies of 6.5 and 5.0 MHz, and 2 different ultrasound machines (#1 and #2) to assess the apex, middle, and heel regions of the claws. The UVP were 60.8 to 77.9% for the 6.5-MHz probe in ultrasound machine #1 (probe A), which were lower than those (>90%) for both the 5.0-MHz probe in ultrasound machine #1 (probe B) and the 5.0-MHz probe in ultrasound machine #2 (probe C). The UVP was significantly lower in claws with an SHD ≥50 units than in claws with an SHD <40 or 40 to <50 units (UVP: 77.1% compared with 93.7 and 91.4%, respectively) when measured with probe B. In claws with an SHT <10 mm, the UVP was significantly lower when SHD was ≥50 units compared with <40 or 40 to >50 units; the values were 69.0% versus 91.3 and 85.9%, respectively, for probe A, and 89.7% versus 100 and 100%, respectively, for probe B. When SHT were measured by either probes A or B in ultrasound machine #1, the proportions of claws in which ultrasonographic values were within a ±1 mm range compared with the values obtained by CT were 84.9 to 91.3% for CT-determined SHT <5 mm, 66.7 to 71.9% for CT-determined SHT 5 to <7 mm, 28.9 to 51.2% for CT-determined SHT 7 to <10 mm, and 6.2 to 19.7% for CT-determined SHT ≥10 mm. The data indicated that increased SHT was associated with a decrease in ultrasonographic measurement accuracy. In claws with an SHT <5 mm, the high proportion of ultrasonographic values that were accurate within a ±1 mm range suggests that this imaging modality would be useful in cows with thin soles.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although inflammatory markers, such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio and local immune markers have been shown to have prognostic utility, limited information is available regarding inflammatory and pre-existing tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte density and their association with prognosis in patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. We investigated the prognostic ability of inflammatory markers and tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte density in stage III and stage IV hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients receiving definitive treatment. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Kurume University Hospital. PARTICIPANTS Ninety-six stage III or stage IV hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients treated at the Kurume University Hospital between 2000 and 2014. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Inflammatory markers and pre-treatment tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte density were examined from recorded haematologic data and immunohistochemical analysis. RESULTS Multivariate analyses showed that the CD8+ tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte density was an independent predictive factor for distant metastasis and overall survival, whereas inflammatory markers, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, were not correlated with distant metastasis or overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Higher pre-treatment CD8+ tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte density is a useful predictive biomarker for reduced distant metastasis and better prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
[Background]
Many of the tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins, like Efp/TRIM25 which was identified by our group previously (Nature 417, 871-875, 2002), function as E3 ubiquitin ligases, and are thought to be involved in various physiological and pathological processes such as immunity and oncogenesis. In regard to tripartite motif containing 44 (TRIM44), which is an atypical TRIM family protein lacking RING finger domain, some evidences suggest that it is implicated in the progression of several human malignancies. But its pathophysiological significance in breast cancer remains unknown.
[Methods]
In the present study, immunohistochemical analysis using anti-TRIM44 antibody was performed in clinical breast cancer tissues from 129 patients with the approval of institutional ethical committees (approval number: 845). We then explored the pathophysiological role of TRIM44 in breast cancer by modulating TRIM44 expression in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.
[Results]
TRIM44 strong immunoreactivity was significantly associated with nuclear grade, distant disease-free survival and overall survival of the breast cancer patients. With multivariate analysis it was shown that the TRIM44 status was an independent prognostic factor for distant disease-free survival and overall survival. The proliferation of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells was significantly decreased by siRNA-mediated TRIM44 knockdown. TRIM44 knockdown also suppressed migration of MDA-MB-231 cells. Microarray analysis and qRT-PCR revealed that TRIM44 knockdown upregulated CDK19 (Cyclin Dependent Kinase 19), which is reported to be a tumor suppressor gene, whereas downregulated MMP1 (Matrix Metallopeptidase 1) in MDA-MB-231 cells. Notably, TRIM44 knockdown impaired nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB)-mediated transcriptional activity stimulated by tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). Moreover, TRIM44 knockdown substantially attenuated the TNFα-dependent phosphorylation of p65 subunit of NF-κB and IκBα in both MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells.
[Discussion]
Our clinical study showed that prognosis of breast cancer patients is correlated with the immunoreactivity detected by anti-TRIM44 antibody. This result suggested that expression of TRIM44 protein could be used as a potential biomarker of breast cancer. We demonstrated that NF-κB signaling pathway is modulated by TRIM44. Since NF-κB augmentation is shown to be related to aggressive character of breast cancer, stimulation of NF-κB signaling with TRIM44 might be underlying mechanism of poor prognosis. Our in vitro study showed TRIM44 knockdown caused attenuated proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells, raising the possibility of TRIM44 as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer. These findings provide new clues to develop alternative effective strategies for breast cancer management.
