Abstract
When excited, the magnetization in a magnet precesses around the field in an anticlockwise manner on a timescale governed by viscous magnetization damping, after which any information carried by the initial actuation seems to be lost. This damping appears to be a fundamental bottleneck for the use of magnets in information processing. However, here we demonstrate the recall of the magnetization-precession phase after times that exceed the damping timescale by two orders of magnitude using dedicated two-colour microwave pump-probe experiments for a Y3Fe5O12 microstructured film. Time-resolved magnetization state tomography confirms the persistent magnetic coherence by revealing a double-exponential decay of magnetization correlation. We attribute persistent magnetic coherence to a feedback effect, that is, coherent coupling of the uniform precession with long-lived excitations at the minima of the spin-wave dispersion relation. Our finding liberates magnetic systems from the strong damping in nanostructures that has limited their use in coherent information storage and processing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis of congenital chylothorax and ascites ranges from spontaneous resolution to death, but no established examination exists to predict the prognosis. We aimed to develop a clinically useful method to evaluate lymphatic abnormalities using indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography in infants with congenital chylothorax and ascites. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated infants with congenital chylothorax and chylous ascites who underwent ICG lymphography in our hospital between 2012 and 2022. The ICG lymphography findings was evaluated. We defined the dermal backflow in the trunk as the lymphatic flow from the end of the limb back through the lymphatic vessels on the surface of the trunk. The association between the dermal backflow in the trunk and clinical outcomes, as follows, are investigated: the duration of the drainage period, the duration of endotracheal intubation, and the length of hospital stay. RESULTS Twenty infants had a dermal backflow in the trunk, and ten did not. Clinical outcomes in infants with and without dermal backflow in the trunk were as follows (median): the duration of the drainage period (20 vs. 0 days, p = 0.001), the duration of endotracheal intubation (12 vs. 2 days, p = 0.04), and the length of hospital stay (62 vs. 41 days, p = 0.04), respectively. In multivariate linear regression analysis adjusted for gestational age, the duration of the drainage period was correlated with the dermal backflow in the trunk [exp(B) = 2.62; p = 0.003]. CONCLUSIONS The dermal backflow in the trunk in ICG lymphography was useful in predicting the clinical course of congenital chylothorax and ascites.

Abstract
A 70-year-old man had developed a high fever and arthralgia in his right elbow 6 months prior. Loxoprofen improved the symptoms temporarily, but arthropathy developed in other joints. Long-term recurrent arthropathy and the fever caused activity reduction and progressive debilitation. We performed fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography and detected a positive accumulation in multiple joints and lymph nodes. A lymph node biopsy revealed epithelioid cell granulomas, which, along with elevated angiotensin-converting enzyme levels, led to the diagnosis of sarcoid arthropathy. After prednisolone administration, the fever and arthralgia resolved, and his activities of daily living improved. Clinicians should be aware of this type of sarcoid arthropathy.

Abstract
We experimentally investigate the dynamics of a sphere rolling up a granular slope. During the rolling-up motion, the sphere experiences slipping and penetration (groove formation) on the surface of the granular layer. The former relates to the stuck motion of the rolling sphere, and the latter causes energy dissipation due to the deformation of the granular surface. To characterize these phenomena, we measured the motion of a sphere rolling up a granular slope of angle α. The initial velocity v_{0}, initial angular velocity ω_{0}, angle of slope α, and density of the sphere ρ_{s} were varied. As a result, the penetration depth can be scaled solely by the density ratio between the sphere and granular layer. By considering the rotational equation of motion, we estimate the friction due to the slips. Besides, by considering energy conservation, we define and estimate the friction due to groove formation. Moreover, the translational friction is proportional to the penetration depth. Using these results, we can quantitatively predict the sphere's motion including stuck behavior.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic emerged in Japan in February 2020, forcing the adoption of online education by university medical schools across Japan. The advantages and disadvantages of online education have been studied in Japan; however, the educational outcome of online classes conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic has not been completely evaluated. In this study, we examined the relationship between lecture format (e.g., face-to-face or online) and performance of third-year university students in their organ-specific cardiovascular course examination. METHODS This retrospective, nonclinical, and noninterventional comparative educational study included 550 third-year medical students who took a cardiovascular course between April 2018 and May 2022. Cardiovascular coursework was conducted in-person in 2018 and 2019, online in 2020 and 2021, and again in-person in 2022. The course comprised 62 lecture and 2 problem-based learning (PBL) sessions. A quiz was set up in advance on Moodle based on all lectures conducted in 2021 and 2022. A written examination was administered at the end of the course to evaluate the knowledge of students. The student online course evaluation questionnaires were administered in 2020 and 2021. Examination scores and proportion of failures in each year were compared. RESULTS The mean examination scores were significantly higher in 2021 and 2022 than in 2018, 2019, and 2020 (p < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate analyses adjusted for the class type, online quiz, and PBL revealed that only online quiz was significantly associated with better examination results (p < 0.05). A student course evaluation survey indicated that the online format did not interfere with the students' learning and was beneficial. CONCLUSIONS The introduction of online classes into medical education due to the COVID-19 pandemic was as effective as face-to-face classes owing to learning management system and other innovations, such as online quizzes. Online education may confer more benefits when provided in a combination with face-to-face learning after COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Background: There is a strong demand for remote monitoring systems to gather health data. This study investigated the safety, usefulness, and patient satisfaction in outpatient care using telehealth with real-time electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring after catheter ablation. Methods and Results: In all, 38 patients who underwent catheter ablation were followed up using telehealth. At the 3- and 6-month follow-up, a self-fitted Duranta ECG monitoring device was sent to the patient's home before the online consultation. Patients attached the devices themselves, and the doctors viewed the patients by video chat and performed real-time ECG monitoring. The frequency of hospital visits and the ECG monitoring duration were compared with conventional in-person follow-up data (n=102). The completion rate for telehealth follow-up was 32 of 38 patients (84%). The number of hospital visits during the 6 months was significantly lower with telehealth follow-up than with conventional follow-up (median [interquartile range] 1 [1-1] vs. 5 [3-5]; P<0.0001). However, the ECG monitoring duration was approximately 4-fold longer for the telehealth follow-up (median [interquartile range] 89 [64-117] vs. 24 [0.1-24] h; P<0.0001). No major adverse events were observed during the telehealth follow-up. Patient surveys showed high satisfaction with telehealth follow-up due to reduced hospital visits. Conclusions: A combination of telehealth follow-up with real-time ECG monitoring increased the ECG monitoring duration and patient satisfaction without any adverse events.

Abstract
Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) can cause osteomalacia due to excessive production of fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) by the tumor. Since TIO is a very rare disease, it is often misdiagnosed as intervertebral disc herniation, spondyloarthritis, or osteoporosis. We report a 65-year-old man who developed generalized arthralgia and difficulty walking two years ago and was diagnosed with multiple fractures throughout his body. He was initially diagnosed with osteoporosis and was treated with calcitriol. However, he was referred to our hospital since his symptoms did not improve. We diagnosed tumor-induced osteomalacia based on low serum phosphorus, high bone-type alkaline phosphatase, high FGF23 levels, and the presence of two tumors. The responsible tumor was identified using FGF23 levels in venous sampling. As the location of the tumor made surgical resection difficult, we selected treatment with burosumab, a human monoclonal antibody against FGF23, leading to improvement in the hypophosphatemia and pain, such that he was able to walk with a cane. In cases of osteoporosis with hypophosphatemia, general physicians should keep TIO in mind, and attempt to identify the responsible tumor lesion.

Abstract
Polymer network properties such as stiffness often exhibit characteristic power laws in polymer density and other parameters. However, it remains unclear whether diverse animal tissues, composed of many distinct polymers, exhibit such scaling. Here, we examined many diverse tissues from adult mouse and embryonic chick to determine if stiffness ( E tissue ) follows a power law in relation to the most abundant animal protein, Collagen-I, even with molecular perturbations. We quantified fibrillar collagen in intact tissue by second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging and from tissue extracts by mass spectrometry (MS), and collagenase-mediated decreases were also tracked. Pan-tissue power laws for tissue stiffness versus Collagen-I levels measured by SHG or MS exhibit sub-linear scaling that aligns with results from cellularized gels of Collagen-I but not acellular gels. Inhibition of cellular myosin-II based contraction fits the scaling, and combination with inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) show collagenase activity is strain - not stress- suppressed in tissues, consistent with past studies of gels and fibrils. Beating embryonic hearts and tendons, which differ in both collagen levels and stiffness by >1000-fold, similarly suppressed collagenases at physiological strains of ∼5%, with fiber-orientation regulating degradation. Scaling of E tissue based on 'use-it-or-lose-it' kinetics provides insight into scaling of organ size, microgravity effects, and regeneration processes while suggesting contractility-driven therapeutics.

Abstract
The T2K experiment presents new measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters using 19.7 ( 16.3 ) × 10 20 protons on target (POT) in (anti-)neutrino mode at the far detector (FD). Compared to the previous analysis, an additional 4.7 × 10 20 POT neutrino data was collected at the FD. Significant improvements were made to the analysis methodology, with the near-detector analysis introducing new selections and using more than double the data. Additionally, this is the first T2K oscillation analysis to use NA61/SHINE data on a replica of the T2K target to tune the neutrino flux model, and the neutrino interaction model was improved to include new nuclear effects and calculations. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses are presented, including results on sin 2 θ 13 and the impact of priors on the δ CP measurement. Both analyses prefer the normal mass ordering and upper octant of sin 2 θ 23 with a nearly maximally CP-violating phase. Assuming the normal ordering and using the constraint on sin 2 θ 13 from reactors, sin 2 θ 23 = 0 . 561 - 0.032 + 0.021 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and Δ m 32 2 = 2 . 494 - 0.058 + 0.041 × 10 - 3 eV 2 using constant Δ χ 2 intervals. The CP-violating phase is constrained to δ CP = - 1 . 97 - 0.70 + 0.97 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and δ CP = 0 , π is excluded at more than 90% confidence level. A Jarlskog invariant of zero is excluded at more than 2 σ credible level using a flat prior in δ CP , and just below 2 σ using a flat prior in sin δ CP . When the external constraint on sin 2 θ 13 is removed, sin 2 θ 13 = 28 . 0 - 6.5 + 2.8 × 10 - 3 , in agreement with measurements from reactor experiments. These results are consistent with previous T2K analyses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few studies have evaluated the mechanism of serious injury in acute hospitalization. Thus, the association between fall-related serious injury and activity during falls in acute care hospital remains unclear. Herein, we investigated the relationship between serious injury caused by fall and activity at the time of the fall in an acute care hospital. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Asa Citizens Hospital. All inpatients aged 65 years and older were eligible for the study, which was conducted from April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022. The magnitude of the association between injury severity and activity during the fall was quantified using odds ratio. RESULTS Among the 318 patients with reported falls, 268 (84.3%) had no related injury, 40 (12.6%) experienced minor injury, 3 (0.9%) experienced moderate injury, 7 (2.2%) experienced major injury. Moderate or major injuries caused by a fall was associated with the activity during the fall (odds ratio: 5.20; confidence intervals: 1.43-18.9, p = 0.013). CONCLUSION This study recognizes that falling during ambulation caused moderate or major injuries in an acute care hospital. Our study suggests that falls while ambulating in an acute care hospital were associated not only with fractures, but also with lacerations requiring sutures and brain injuries. Among the patients with moderate or major injuries, more falls occurred outside the patient's bedroom as compared with patients with minor or no injuries. Therefore, it is important to prevent moderate or major injuries related to falls that occur while the patient is walking outside their bedroom in an acute care hospital.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intermuscular implantations of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (S-ICD) have been recommended, but the position of the anterior border of the latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) has not previously been evaluated in establishing an incision line to facilitate the intermuscular approach. The objective of this study is to evalua the position and trend of the anterior border of the LDM in patients who are candidates for implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. METHODS The distance from the back to the anterior border of the LDM (A) and the anterior-posterior width of the chest wall (B) were measured on computed tomography retrospectively, and the ratio (=A/B) was used as the position of the anterior border of the LDM. In addition, the variability and factors affecting the values were evaluated. RESULTS An analysis was performed on 78 patients, and the position of the anterior border of the LDM (=A/B) exhibited a normal distribution, with a mean value of 0.53 ± 0.062 (0.41-0.69). The position of the anterior border of the LDM tended to be more anterior in younger, taller, male, primary prevention, nonheart failure, low brain natriuretic peptide level, and nondiabetic patients. CONCLUSION The position of the anterior border of the LDM varied from case to case with variable results. Conventional incisions on the midaxillary line may be inappropriate for intermuscular implantations, and the position of the anterior border of the LDM should be evaluated in each individual case to establish the incision line.

Abstract
In various types of many-particle systems, bidispersity is frequently used to avoid spontaneous ordering in particle configurations. In this study, the relation between bidispersity and disorder degree of particle configurations is investigated. By using magnetic dipole-dipole interaction, magnet particles are dispersed in a two-dimensional cell without any physical contact between them. In this magnetic system, bidispersity is introduced by mixing large and small magnets. Then, the particle system is compressed to produce a uniform particle configuration. The compressed particle configuration is analyzed by using Voronoi tessellation for evaluating the disorder degree, which strongly depends on bidispersity. Specifically, the standard deviation and skewness of the Voronoi cell area distribution are measured. As a result, we find that the peak of standard deviation is observed when the numbers of large and small particles are almost identical. Although the skewness shows a non-monotonic behavior, a zero skewness state (symmetric distribution) can be achieved when the numbers of large and small particles are identical. In this ideally random (disordered) state, the ratio between pentagonal, hexagonal, and heptagonal Voronoi cells becomes roughly identical, while hexagons are dominant under monodisperse (ordered) conditions. The relation between Voronoi cell analysis and the global bond orientational order parameter is also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lesion gaps assessed by late-gadolinium enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-MRI) are associated with the atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation. Animal studies have demonstrated that the catheter-contact force (CF), stability, and orientation are strongly associated with lesion formation. However, the impact of those procedural factors on the lesion characteristics associated with AF recurrence has not been well discussed. METHODS A total of 30 patients with paroxysmal AF who underwent catheter ablation were retrospectively enrolled. Radiofrequency (RF) applications were performed with 35 W for 30 s in a point-by-point fashion under esophageal temperature monitoring. The inter-lesion distance was 4 mm. The lesions were visualized by LGE-MRI 3 months postprocedure and assessed by the LGE volume (ml), gap number (GN), and average gap length (AGL [mm]). The gaps were defined as nonenhancement sites of >4 mm. The procedural factors including the catheter-CF, stability, and orientation were calculated on the NavX system. RESULTS Six (20%) of 30 patients had AF recurrences 12 months postablation. A univariate analysis demonstrated that the AGL was associated with AF recurrence (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.20, confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.42, p = .02). All AF recurrence were found in patients with an AGL of >7 mm. The catheter-CF and stability were associated with an AGL of >7 mm, but not the orientation (CF-HR: 0.62, CI: 0.39-0.97, p = .038; stability-HR: 0.8, CI: 0.66-0.98, p = .027). CONCLUSIONS RF ablation with a low CF and poor catheter stability has a potential risk of creating large lesion gaps associated with AF recurrence.

Abstract
Samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu were brought to Earth by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. We analyzed 17 Ryugu samples measuring 1 to 8 millimeters. Carbon dioxide-bearing water inclusions are present within a pyrrhotite crystal, indicating that Ryugu's parent asteroid formed in the outer Solar System. The samples contain low abundances of materials that formed at high temperatures, such as chondrules and calcium- and aluminum-rich inclusions. The samples are rich in phyllosilicates and carbonates, which formed through aqueous alteration reactions at low temperature, high pH, and water/rock ratios of <1 (by mass). Less altered fragments contain olivine, pyroxene, amorphous silicates, calcite, and phosphide. Numerical simulations, based on the mineralogical and physical properties of the samples, indicate that Ryugu's parent body formed ~2 million years after the beginning of Solar System formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection usually occurs in immunodeficient patients, such as those with human immunodeficiency virus infection and idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia. However, disseminated NTM diseases have also been reported in immunocompetent patients. Autoantibodies to interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) are known to be involved in disseminated NTM disease, although anti-IFN-γ antibodies are mainly seen in immunocompetent patients rather than those with immunodeficiency. Here, we report a rare case of disseminated NTM patient with idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia and anti-IFN-γ antibodies. CASE PRESENTATION A 64-year-old Asian male presented with fever, back pain, anorexia and weight loss. Physical examination revealed subcutaneous masses in the forehead, sternoclavicular joint, and right inguinal region. Computed tomography showed multiple osteosclerotic changes with soft structures and osteolytic changes. Both blood and sputum cultures were positive for Mycobacterium intracellulare, confirming the presence of disseminated NTM infection. Histopathological evaluation of the subcutaneous mass in the right inguinal region showed numerous granulomas consisting of epithelioid cells with Langhans-type giant cells. He was diagnosed with idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia. Interestingly, he also had anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies with suppression of IFN-γ-dependent signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) phosphorylation. Two-drug combination therapy with clarithromycin and ethambutol was started for the NTM infection, which resulted in a favorable disease course. CONCLUSIONS In patients with disseminated NTM infection, idiopathic CD4 lymphocytopenia and anti-IFN-γ autoantibody-positive immunodeficiency can be coexisted. It is necessary to clarify the pathogenesis and clinical course of CD4 lymphocytopenic conditions and IFN-γ neutralizing antibody-positive in the disseminated NTM disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several lifestyle factors have been reported to be associated with erosive esophagitis (EE). Many studies examined the associated factors for EE independent of obesity. However, lifestyle factors associated with EE might differ depending on sex or the presence of obesity. This study thus aimed to investigate the lifestyle risk factors for EE stratified by obesity and sex. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted among Japanese people who underwent an annual health checkup at the Oita Health Checkup Center between 2019 and 2021. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine the factors associated with EE in participants stratified by sex and the presence of obesity. RESULTS EE was diagnosed in 676 of 5240 participants (12.9%) who were analyzed, and occurred most often in males (601 cases). The percentage of obesity based on body mass index was significantly higher among EE than non-EE participants (50.3% and 26.5%, P < .001). In obese males, eating just before bedtime (OR = 1.34, 95% CI 1.01-1.78) and hiatal hernia (OR = 3.42, 95% CI 2.57-4.54) were significantly associated with EE in multivariate analysis. In non-obese males, current smoking (OR = 1.48, 95% CI 1.07-2.04), alcohol consumption of 40 to 60 g/day (OR = 1.60, 95% CI 1.11-2.30), and hiatal hernia (OR = 3.63, 95% CI 2.79-4.73) were significantly associated with EE. CONCLUSIONS We found that factors associated with EE were different between obese and non-obese males. In obese males, avoiding going to bed within 2 h after dinner might contribute to preventing the occurrence of EE. In non-obese males, prevention of obesity, quitting smoking, and avoiding heavy alcohol consumption might be important for preventing the development of EE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The mechanism underlying the sex differences in atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence following pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is not fully understood. We hypothesized that non-PV foci and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) play a key role.Methods and Results: Data from 304 consecutive patients (75% males) who underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography and catheter ablation of AF were reviewed. The EAT around the atrium was measured separately in 4 parts of the atrium. All patients underwent high-dose isoproterenol infusions to assess the non-PV foci. Significantly more non-PV foci and less EAT around the atrium were observed in female patients than in male patients. In males, those with non-PV foci on the left atrial (LA) anterior wall had significantly greater EAT for the same lesions than those without non-PV foci. During a median follow-up of 27 months, the predictors of AF recurrence after first catheter ablation were female sex, presence of non-PV foci, LA diameter, and septal EAT index. A sex-specific analysis revealed that LA diameter was a predictor only in males and that the presence of non-PV foci in the septal region was a strong predictor in males (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.24) and females (HR: 3.65). CONCLUSIONS Sex-specific differences were observed in non-PV foci sites and local EAT and in regard to the predictors of AF recurrence.

Abstract
Background Ventricular tachycardia (VT) non-inducibility at the end of ablation is associated with a less likely VT recurrence. However, it is not clear whether we should use VT non-inducibility as a routine end point of VT ablation. The aim of this study was to evaluate VT recurrence in patients in whom VT non-inducibility was not achieved at the end of the radiofrequency (RF) ablation and the factors attributing to the VT recurrence. Methods We analyzed that 62 patients in whom VT non-inducibility was not achieved at the end of the RF ablation were studied. Results Over 2 years, 22 (35%) of the cases had VT recurrences. A multivariate analysis showed that an LVEF ≥35% (HR: 0.19; 95% CI: 0.06-0.49; p < .01) and elimination of the clinical VT as an acute ablation efficacy (HR: 0.23; 95% CI: 0.04-0.81; p = .02) were independent predictors of fewer VT recurrences. RF ablation was associated with a 91.1% reduction in VT episodes. Conclusion Even if VT non-inducibility was not achieved, patients with an LVEF ≥35% or in whom the clinical VT could be eliminated might be prevented from having VT recurrences. The validity of the VT non-inducibility of any VT should be evaluated considering each patient's background and the results of the procedure.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) is a useful treatment for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Some cases, however, are difficult to treat and may require multiple freezing procedures and/or touch-up ablation. Although several predictors of CBA difficulty have been reported, no report has been able to assess the spatial location and morphology of the left atrium (LA) and pulmonary veins (PVs). A polygonal mesh is a collection of vertices, edges, and faces that defines the shape of a polyhedral object, and is able to represent a spatial location with a small amount of information. We hypothesized that a deep learning model that learns mesh representation datasets could more accurately detect the CBA difficulty and that we could establish a novel evaluation method in CBA.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to create a model to predict CBA difficulty with a 3D deep learning model using polygonal mesh representation.
Methods and results
All the 140 patients who underwent CBA for drug-resistant atrial fibrillation between January 2015 and January 2022 were included. A 28-mm cryoballoon (Arctic Front Advance, Medtronic) was used in all cases. We defined CBA difficulty as requiring a touch-up ablation procedure to create complete PVI. We converted the volume data in DICOM format of the computed tomography images of PVs and LA to obj file format (shown in Figure 1), which supports the definition of the geometry for object surfaces using polygonal meshes. Next, we developed a deep learning model that could learn polygonal meshes and classify whether the CBA required touch-up ablation or not. Only a training dataset is used to train the deep learning model, and finally, a test dataset is used to evaluate the model metrics. The accuracy, area under the ROC curve, recall, precision, and f1-score of the deep learning model using the test dataset was 86.5%, 87.7%, 66.7%, 75.0%, 70.6%, respectively.
Conclusions
We developed a 3D deep learning model that can detect a difficulty in CBA using polygonal mesh representation. By predicting difficult cases in advance, we will be able to develop strategies to increase the success rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The skin overlying cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) sometimes becomes very thin after implantations, which could cause a device erosion. The factors related to the skin thickness of device pockets have not been elucidated. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the skin thickness of CIED pockets and search for the factors associated with the thickness. METHODS Seventeen skin thickness points around the CIED pocket were measured through ultrasonography in each patient. RESULTS A total of 101 patients (76±11 years, 26 female) was enrolled. The median duration from the implantation to the examination was 95 months (quartile: 52.5~147.5). The median skin thickness overlying the device was 4.1 mm (3.3~5.9). Patients with heart failure and malignancy had thinner skin overlying the CIED than those without. A significant correlation existed between skin thickness and body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin, serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and left ventricular ejection fraction. In contrast, the age, gender, and device size did not exhibit a significant correlation with the skin thickness. A multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that chronic heart failure and a decrease in the eGFR and BMI were independent predictive factors of "very thin (≦3.3 mm)" skin of the CIED pocket late after an implantation. CONCLUSION Aside from a low BMI, the comorbidities (low hemoglobin, heart failure, and renal dysfunction) had a stronger impact on the skin thickness overlying the device than the device size. A careful observation of the device pocket should be performed in patients with those risk factors. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
BackgroundSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with unknown etiology involving multiple immune cells and has diverse clinical phenotypes. This heterogeneous nature has hampered a better understanding of SLE pathogenesis and the development of effective therapeutic agents. While recent single-cell RNA sequencing studies of SLE identified several important cell subpopulations, they were limited by sparse expression information at single-cell level and small sample sizes.ObjectivesThis study aimed to elucidate the dysregulated gene expression pattern linked to multiple clinical statuses of SLE with a fine cellular resolution and higher sensitivity. We also attempted to resolve a complex interaction between risk variants and the transcriptome dysregulation seen in SLE patients.MethodsWe conducted a large-scale bulk transcriptome study of 6,386 RNA-sequencing data including 27 purified immune cell types in peripheral blood from 136 SLE and 89 healthy donors in the Immune Cell Gene Expression Atlas from the University of Tokyo (ImmuNexUT) cohort1. At enrollment, SLE patients had diverse clinical manifestations (disease activity, organ involvement and treatment profiles) and 22 patients were re-evaluated after belimumab treatment.ResultsWe first profiled two distinct cell-type-specific transcriptomic signatures: disease-state and disease-activity signatures, reflecting disease establishment and exacerbation, respectively.After confirming the high replicability of both signatures in independent cohorts, we identified candidates of biological processes unique to each signature: e.g., upregulated E2F transcriptional activity in Th1, CD8+ memory T-lineage and NK cells, and dynamic increase of IL21 and CXCL13 in Th1 cells in an active phase of SLE. Pathway analysis highlighted the importance of immunometabolic process for SLE (e.g., oxidative phosphorylation) in cell-type-specific resolution.Moreover, we demonstrated cell-type-specific contributions to diverse organ involvement, e.g., Th1 for mucocutaneous, monocyte-lineage cells for musculoskeletal, neutrophil-lineage cells for renal activity, respectively.We also observed the strong associations of disease-activity signatures with treatment effect: (i) belimumab suppressed activity signatures from B-lineage cells, especially in good responders and (ii) mycophenolate mofetil substantially suppressed activity signatures from plasmablast, Th1, and central memory CD8 cells.However, through stratified LD score regression using large-scale SLE-GWASs, we revealed that disease-activity signatures were less enriched around SLE risk variants than disease-state signatures. Consistent with this result, the directions of SLE risk alleles’ expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) effects were significantly concordant with the directions of disease-state signatures, but not with those of activity signatures. These findings suggested that the current genetic case-control studies may not well capture clinically vital biology linked to drug target discovery for SLE. Meanwhile, we also detected some examples of activity signatures that might contribute to the disease risk by modulating risk allele’s eQTL effects.Figure 1.ConclusionWe identified comprehensive gene signatures reflecting the establishment and exacerbation of SLE, which provide essential foundations for future genomic, genetic, and clinical studies.References[1]Ota, M. et al.

Abstract
A triple antiemetic therapy combining aprepitant (APR) with conventional double antiemetic therapy, including 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 receptor antagonist (5-HT₃-RA) and dexamethasone (DEX), is recommended for preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting induced by a carboplatin (CBDCA) regimen. However, consensus on the additive effects of APR for gynecological patients on a combined regimen of paclitaxel and CBDCA (TC regimen) has yet to be reached. This retrospective study investigated the antiemetic effects of palonosetron and DEX (PD therapy) and granisetron and DEX with APR (GDA therapy) in patients with gynecologic cancer and who underwent their first TC regimen cycle between April 2017 and March 2020 at the Gunma University Hospital Outpatient Chemotherapy Center. The results showed that the complete response rate of the 92 patients who underwent PD therapy (PD group) and the 46 patients who underwent GDA therapy (GDA group) were both 80.4% (p = 1.000), and the complete control rates of the PD and GDA groups were 78.3% and 80.4%, respectively (p = 0.828), resulting in no significant difference. Furthermore, we observed no significant difference between the PD and GDA groups in the incidence of grade ≥2 nausea, vomiting, and anorexia (nausea: 7.6% vs. 0%, p = 0.095; vomiting: 4.3% vs. 0%, p = 0.301; and anorexia: 9.8% vs. 2.2%, p = 0.164). Concerning adverse events, compared to the PD group, the GDA group showed significantly higher incidence of grade ≥2 malaise (7.6% vs. 19.6%, p = 0.039). Given the lack of difference in the antiemetic effects of PD and GDA therapies, antiemetic therapy should be selected carefully for individual patients by accounting for the incidence of adverse reactions and interactions with APR.

Abstract
The mass of the W boson, a mediator of the weak force between elementary particles, is tightly constrained by the symmetries of the standard model of particle physics. The Higgs boson was the last missing component of the model. After observation of the Higgs boson, a measurement of the W boson mass provides a stringent test of the model. We measure the W boson mass, MW, using data corresponding to 8.8 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity collected in proton-antiproton collisions at a 1.96 tera-electron volt center-of-mass energy with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. A sample of approximately 4 million W boson candidates is used to obtain [Formula: see text], the precision of which exceeds that of all previous measurements combined (stat, statistical uncertainty; syst, systematic uncertainty; MeV, mega-electron volts; c, speed of light in a vacuum). This measurement is in significant tension with the standard model expectation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several algorithms have been proposed for differentiating the right and left outflow tracts (RVOT/LVOT) arrhythmia origins from 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs); however, the procedure is complicated. A deep learning (DL) model, a form of artificial intelligence, can directly use ECGs and depict the importance of the leads and waveforms. This study aimed to create a visualized DL model that could classify arrhythmia origins more accurately.Methods and Results: This study enrolled 80 patients who underwent catheter ablation. A convolutional neural network-based model that could classify arrhythmia origins with 12-lead ECGs and visualize the leads that contributed to the diagnosis using a gradient-weighted class activation mapping method was developed. The average prediction results of the origins by the DL model were 89.4% (88.2-90.6) for accuracy and 95.2% (94.3-96.2) for recall, which were significantly better than when a conventional algorithm is used. The ratio of the contribution to the prediction differed between RVOT and LVOT origins. Although leads V1 to V3 and the limb leads had a focused balance in the LVOT group, the contribution ratio of leads aVR, aVL, and aVF was higher in the RVOT group. CONCLUSIONS This study diagnosed the arrhythmia origins more accurately than the conventional algorithm, and clarified which part of the 12-lead waveforms contributed to the diagnosis. The visualized DL model was convincing and may play a role in understanding the pathogenesis of arrhythmias.

Abstract
Background Corticosteroids are widely used in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS). In addition, upgrading to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is sometimes needed. This study aimed to investigate the impact of corticosteroid use on the clinical outcomes following CRT upgrades. Methods A total of 48 consecutive patients with non‐ischemic cardiomyopathies who underwent CRT upgrades were retrospectively reviewed and divided into three groups: group 1 included CS patients taking corticosteroids before the CRT upgrade (n = 7), group 2, CS patients not taking corticosteroids before the CRT upgrade (n = 10), and group 3, non‐CS patients (n = 31). The echocardiographic response, heart failure hospitalizations, and cardiovascular deaths were evaluated. Results The baseline characteristics during CRT upgrades exhibited no significant differences in the echocardiographic data between the three groups. After the CRT upgrade, responses regarding the ejection fraction (EF) and end‐systolic volume (ESV) were significantly lower in CS patients than non‐CS patients (ΔEF: group 1, 6.7% vs. group 2, 7.7% vs. group 3, 13.6%; p = .039, ΔESV: 3.0 ml vs. ‐12.7 ml vs. ‐37.2 ml; p = .008). The rate of an echocardiographic response was lowest in group 1 (29%). There were, however, no significant differences in the cumulative freedom from a composite outcome among the three groups (p = .19). No cardiovascular deaths occurred in group 1. Conclusion The echocardiographic response to an upgrade to CRT and the long‐term prognosis in patients with CS should be carefully evaluated because of the complex etiologies and impact of immunosuppressive therapy.

Abstract
Background Some of atrial fibrillation (AF) drivers are found in normal/mild late‐gadolinium enhancement (LGE) areas, as well as moderate ones. The atrial wall thickness (AWT) has been reported to be important as a possible AF substrate. However, the AWT and degree of LGEs as an AF substrate has not been fully validated in humans. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of the AWT in normal/mild LGE areas on AF drivers. Methods A total of 287 segments in 15 persistent AF patients were assessed. AF drivers were defined as non‐passively activated areas (NPAs), where rotational activation was frequently observed, and were detected by the novel real‐time phase mapping (ExTRa Mapping), mild LGE areas were defined as areas with a volume ratio of the enhancement voxel of 0% to <10%. The AWT was defined as the minimum distance from the manually determined endocardium to the epicardial border on the LGE‐MRI. Results NPAs were found in 20 (18.0%) of 131 normal/mild LGE areas where AWT was significantly thicker than that in the passively activated areas (PAs) (2.5 ± 0.3 vs. 2.2 ± 0.3 mm, p < .001). However, NPAs were found in 41 (26.3%) of 156 moderate LGE areas where AWT was thinner than that of PAs (2.1 ± 0.2 mm vs. 2.23 ± 0.3 mm, p = .02). An ROC curve analysis yielded an optimal cutoff value of 2.2 mm for predicting the presence of an NPA in normal/mild LGE areas. Conclusion The location of AF drivers in normal/mild LGE areas might be more accurately identified by evaluating AWT.

Abstract
Background: Early detection, treatment, and care are important for the prevention of
dementia. Though olfactory impairment has been reported to be associated
with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), there are few reports involving
community-dwelling older adults with no difficulty in daily life in
Japan. Objective: This study aimed to identify the frequency of MCI in community-dwelling
elderly people attending community salons in a city with a high aging
population, and to determine the usefulness of a pocket olfactory
discrimination test. Methods: We recruited 268 independent older adults attending community salons. The
Japanese version of the MCI Screen was used to evaluate cognitive function,
defining MCI as <49.8 out of 100 scores of the memory performance index
(MPI). The Japanese version of the University of Pennsylvania Smell
Identification Test (UPSIT-J) was used for olfactory discrimination and the
number of correct answers out of 4 questions was noted. Results: Of the salon participants, 138 (51.5%) were classified as having MCI. As the
number of correct answers on the olfactory test decreased, the percentage of
participants with MCI increased. The MPI score of the low UPSIT score group
was significantly lower than that of the high UPSIT score group. Conclusions: This study revealed that approximately half of the elderly local residents
living without daily problems were suspected of having MCI. The UPSIT-J-4 is
a simple olfactory identification test, and can be used at any time and any
place. It is useful for screening cognitive function via olfactory
identification in a salon-like setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE
Fluorescence imaging is an important surgical adjunct in malignant glioma surgery. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) has been proven effective for radical tumor resection and extended progression-free survival in a phase III randomized trial and therefore integrated into surgery for malignant glioma. Importantly, however, some limitations still exist in its use, which include false positivity and false negativity as well as inability of re-administration. In this study, we aimed to develop a novel, spray-type fluorescent probe using hydroxymethyl rhodamine green (HMRG) as a fluorescent scaffold.
METHODS
We have previously established a fluorescent probe library comprised of more than 320 kinds of HMRG probes. They have HMRG as a fluorescent scaffold with various types of dipeptides attached to it. Primary probe screening was performed using the homogenized tumor samples from patients with glioblastoma operated at our institution. Secondary screening followed using the selected probes and fresh tumor samples obtained from patients with glioblastoma operated from 2016 until 2018. Diced electrophoresis gel (DEG) assay, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by a multi-well plate-based fluorometric assay, was performed to identify responsible enzymes for the selected probe. Further experiments with inhibitors, real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry, and western blotting were performed for confirmation.
RESULTS
Proline-arginine-HMRG (PR-HMRG) was selected as a candidate probe based upon the above two-step screenings. It achieved 79.4% accuracy in receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Calpain-1 was found to be responsible to cleave PR-HMRG probe by DEG-proteome analysis. Calpain-1 protein was expressed at significantly higher level in tumors that were fluoresced by PR-HMRG than in those that were not.
CONCLUSIONS
Our innovative screening method was able to find PR-HMRG as a novel fluorescent probe effective for rapid detection of glioblastoma. A preclinical study is planned to assess the efficacy and safety of the selected probe.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The standard diagnosis of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is based on the following: 1) symptoms of HF, 2) preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF, >50%), and 3) presence of LV diastolic dysfunction confirmed by echocardiography or cardiac catheterisation. However, there are limits to the diagnostic accuracy of individual parameters, and what cut-off values should be applied and how they should be combined remain unclear. Diagnostic algorithms for HFpEF such as the HFA-PEFF algorithm and the H2FPEF score have been proposed; however, previous validation studies were conducted in stable chronic HF and did not include an invasive haemodynamic assessment. Thus, the diagnostic accuracy for HFpEF lacked robustness. Moreover, information on their applicability in the Asian population is limited.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate these scores' diagnostic validity for HFpEF in Japanese patients recently hospitalised due to acute decompensated HF.
Methods
We examined patients with HFpEF recently hospitalised with acute decompensated HF whose HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores could be calculated at discharge from a nationwide HFpEF-specific multicentre registry (HFpEF group) and control patients who underwent echocardiography to investigate the cause of dyspnoea in our hospital (Non-HFpEF group). We calculated the HFA-PEFF and the H2FPEF scores among the studied population. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) were computed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of these scores.
Results
The studied population included 372 consecutive patients (194 HFpEF group and 178 Non-HFpEF group; HFpEF prevalence, 52%). The HFA-PEFF score classified 155 (42%) of all patients into the high likelihood category (5–6 points) and only 19 (5%) into the low likelihood category (0–1 point). A high HFA-PEFF score could diagnose HFpEF with a high specificity of 84% and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 82%, and a low HFA-PEFF score could rule out HFpEF with a high sensitivity of 99% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 89%. The H2FPEF score classified 86 (23%) of all patients into the high likelihood category (6–9 points) and 84 (23%) into the low likelihood category (0–1 point). HFpEF could be diagnosed with a high H2FPEF score (specificity, 97%; PPV, 94%) or ruled out with a low H2FPEF score (sensitivity, 97%; NPV, 93%). The diagnostic accuracy for the HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores was 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78–0.86) and 0.89 (95% CI 0.86–0.93), respectively, by the AUC of the ROC curve (P=0.004) (Figure 1A). In the HFA-PEFF sub-scores, the functional score showed little diagnostic value, while the morphological and biomarker scores showed moderate diagnostic value (Figure 1B).
Conclusions
The H2FPEF score may be more useful than the HFA-PEFF score in diagnosing HFpEF in Japanese patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A successful Radiofrequency (RF) ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) can prevent VT recurrence. It has been reported that VT non-inducibility at the end of RF ablation is associated with less likely VT recurrence in ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and non-ICM (NCIM). However, it is not clear whether we should use VT non-inducibility as routine end point in RF ablation of VT.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate VT recurrence in patients who couldn't be achieved VT non-inducibility at the end of RF ablation and the factors attributed to VT recurrence in ICM and NICM patients.
Methods
Between January 2009 and April 2020, 84 consecutive patients (ICM: 34, NICM: 50) underwent RF ablation for drug-resistant VT in our hospital. VT non-inducibility was defined as any ventricular tachy-arrhythmia, including clinical VT, non-clinical VT, and VF, was not induced by programed stimuli at the end of session. Non-inducibility was achieved in 37 patients but it was not achieved in 47 patients (ICM: 18, NICM: 29). To evaluate the validity of “non-inducibility” as an end point of VT ablation, 47 patients (male: 40, mean age: 66±15 years) in whom non-inducibility of any ventricular tachyarrhythmia was not achieved were studied. The primary endpoint was recurrence of any sustained VT and VF during follow up period (mean follow-up period was 1.4 (range, 0.0, 2.0) years.)
Results
Mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 36±13%. Epicardial ablation was required in 8 patients. 32 patients had electrical storm at the time of ablation. Among them, 21 patients had VT recurrence and 26 patients had non-VT recurrence during follow-up period. VT recurrence rate was significantly lower in patients with LVEF≥35% than those with LVEF<35% (HR=0.31, 95% CI 1.25–9.92). Multivariate survival analysis identified LVEF≥35% (HR=0.34, 95% CI 0.10–0.98) and ablation of VT isthmus (HR=0.18, 95% CI 0.02–0.78) as independent predictors of non-VT recurrence.
Conclusions
Even if non-inducibility of any ventricular tachyarrhythmia wasn't achieved at the end of ablation, the patients with LVEF≥35% or who had ablated of VT isthmus might prevent VT recurrence. The validity of non-inducibility of any ventricular tachyarrhythmia should be evaluated in each patient's background.

Abstract
This study examines the effects of different types of apologies and individual differences in self-monitoring on non-verbal apology behaviors involving a server apologizing to a customer. Apologies divide into sincere apologies that reflect genuine recognition of fault, and instrumental apologies, made for achieving a personal goal such as avoiding punishment or rejection by others. Self-monitoring (public-performing and other-directedness) were also examined. Fifty-three female undergraduate students participated in the experiment. Participants were assigned randomly to either a sincere apology condition or an instrumental apology condition. They watched the film clip of the communication between a customer and server and then role-played how they would apologize if they were the server. Participants’ non-verbal behavior during the role-play was videotaped. The results showed an interaction between the apology condition and self-monitoring on non-verbal behaviors. When public-performing was low, gaze avoidance was more likely to occur with a sincere apology than an instrumental apology. There was no difference when the public-performing was high. Facial displays of apology were apparent in the instrumental apology compared to the sincere apology. This tendency became more conspicuous with increased public-performing. Our results indicated that the higher the public-performing, the more participants tried to convey the feeling of apology by combining a direct gaze and facial displays in an instrumental apology. On the other hand, results suggest that lower levels of public-performing elicited less immediacy in offering a sincere apology. Further studies are needed to determine whether these results apply to other conflict resolution situations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Currently, biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) with different modes of action [tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi), interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor (IL-6Ri), or cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4-immunoglobulin (CTLA4-Ig)] are used in clinical practice to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, it is unclear which type of bDMARD is the most efficacious for a specific clinical situation. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase reactant driven by IL-6 signalling. Here, we aimed to establish whether therapeutic efficacy differs between IL-6Ri and other bDMARDs with alternative modes of action in RA patients according to their CRP level. METHOD RA patients treated with bDMARDs were enrolled from an observational multicentre registry in Japan. Patients were classified into three groups according to baseline CRP tertiles. The overall 3 year retention rates of each bDMARD category were assessed. The Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) was also assessed before and 3, 6, and 12 months after bDMARD initiation. RESULTS A total of 1438 RA patients were included and classified into three groups according to tertiles of baseline CRP levels (CRP1, 0-0.3; CRP2, 0.3-1.8; CRP3, 1.8-18.4 mg/dL). In CRP3, the overall 3 year drug retention rates were significantly higher for IL-6Ri than for TNFi and CTLA4-Ig (77.5 vs 48.2 vs 67.3, respectively). No significant difference was evident in terms of CDAI 12 months after bDMARD initiation in CRP1-CRP3. CONCLUSION IL-6Ri may be a favourable therapeutic option over TNFi and CTLA4-Ig in RA patients with high CRP levels.
