Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the cardiac uptake of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) during 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) for new-onset rectal cancer and new-onset colon cancer (ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid colon cancer) and to examine the association between the cardiac uptake of 18F-FDG and prognosis. The participants were diagnosed with new-onset rectal cancer and new-onset colon cancer (ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid cancer) at the Iga City General Hospital (Iga, Japan) between January 1, 2013, and March 31, 2018, and underwent an 18F-FDG PET scan for pretreatment staging. The relationship between cardiac maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax), the presence/absence of distant metastasis and prognosis was examined. A total of 26 patients (14 men and 12 women) aged 72.0±10 years with new-onset rectal cancer were selected for the study. No patients had multiple simultaneous cancers. The median cardiac SUVmax was 3.8 and 2.5 in patients with no distant metastasis and distant metastasis, respectively, revealing a statistically significant difference (P<0.01). The median tumor volume on PET-computed tomography (CT) images was 7,815 cm2 and was 66,248 cm2 in patients with no distant metastasis and distant metastasis, respectively, revealing a statistically significant difference (P<0.01). Echocardiography findings revealed no significant difference between patients with and without distant metastasis. The correlation coefficient between cardiac SUVmax and total tumor volume on PET/CT images (primary + lymph + distant metastases) was statistically significant (r=-0.42, P=0.03). Analysis of the association between the occurrence of distance metastasis and cardiac SUVmax as a continuous variable gave a statistically significant result [hazard ratio (HR): 0.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.09-0.98, P=0.045]. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed a cardiac SUVmax of 2.6 with an area under the curve of 0.86 for determining the presence of distant metastasis (95% CI: 0.70-1.00). The median observation time was 56 months, and nine patients died during observation. Analysis of the association between the overall survival and cardiac SUVmax (cutoff: 2.6) showed 95% CI: 0.01-0.45 and HR: 0.06 (P<0.01); that between the overall survival and total tumor volume on PET images showed 95% CI: 1.00-1.00 and HR: 1.00 (P<0.01); and that between the overall survival and presence of distant metastasis showed 95% CI: 1.72-116.4 and HR: 14.1 (P<0.01). Furthermore, 25 patients (16 men and nine women) aged 71.4±14.2 years with new-onset colon cancer were selected for the study. Analysis of new-onset colon cancer revealed no statistically significance between the cardiac SUVmax and distant metastasis.

Abstract
Introduction The use of technetium 99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid-galactosyl human serum albumin (99mTc-GSA) scintigraphy parameters, HH15 and LHL15, in assessing the future liver remnant function is not expedient because of their nonlinear behaviour against liver volume. Uptake rate constant for the binding of 99mTc-GSA to asialoglycoprotein receptors is probably more favourable, but the reported calculation methods are complex. We devised a simple method to calculate the uptake rate constant, KrGSA. Methods Radioactivity counts for the entire liver and heart regions were extracted at 10, 20, and 30 min. Using whole liver and heart volumes measured from single-photon emission computed tomography images, free radioactivity corresponding to the liver blood pool was subtracted. The time activity curve was fitted to the equation L(t) = L(∞) × [1 - Exp (-kt)] using Microsoft Office Excel (add-in free programme Solver)®, where L(∞) is the count at plateau level and k denotes KrGSA. Results KrGSA values accurately identified liver cirrhosis and were similar to the KICG. The areas under the curve for KrGSA and KICG in the receiver operating characteristic analysis were 0.808 and 0.795, respectively, and a good correlation was seen between KrGSA and KICG. Discussion/Conclusion KrGSA can be utilized as an alternative to KICG in assessing the future liver remnant function.

Abstract
BackgroundThe morbidity of scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) and autoantibodies in systemic sclerosis (SSc) vary by races and regions. Anti-RNA polymerase III is associated with SRC in America and European countries. However, the association of autoantibodies with SRC had not been elucidated in Japan.ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate the association of autoantibodies with morbidity and mortality of SRC in Japan.MethodsThe clinical characteristics and mortality of 330 patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) at Kyoto University Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, focusing on anti-centromere, anti-RNA polymerase III, anti-topoisomerase I, and anti-U1-RNP. Logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the association of autoantibodies with the development and mortality of SRC. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed comparing the groups classified by autoantibodies.ResultsAnti-centromere (n = 177/318, 56%), anti-topoisomerase I (n = 80/311, 26%), anti-RNA polymerase III (n = 27/204, 13%), and anti-U1-RNP (n = 24/305, 8%) were found in SSc patients (n = 330). SRC was observed in 24 out of 330 SSc patients, including anti-topoisomerase I (n = 12/24, 50%), anti-RNA polymerase III (n = 7/24, 29%), anti-U1-RNP (n = 5/24, 21%), and anti-centromere (n = 3/24, 13%). Anti-U1-RNP (odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 3.63 [1.11–10.2]), anti-RNA polymerase III (3.29 [1.16–8.70]), and anti-topoisomerase I (3.22 [1.37–7.57]) were associated with the development of SRC. All patients with SRC were treated with ACE inhibitors and the 1-year survival rate was 54%. Anti-topoisomerase I was associated with the 1-year mortality of SRC (6.00 [1.11–41.1]). When the survival rate was compared between the patients positive for anti-topoisomerase I (n=12) and negative for anti-topoisomerase I (n=12), the 1-year survival rate was 33% vs 75% (p=0.041), respectively (Figure 1A). Furthermore, the 1-year survival of anti-centromere (100%), anti-RNA polymerase III (83%), and others/not detected (50%) were shown in patients negative for anti-topoisomerase I (Figure 1B).Figure 1.Overall survival of patients with SRC according to the type of autoantibodies.(A) The survival rates in SRC patients who were positive for anti-topoisomerase I (solid line, n = 12) and those who were negative for anti-topoisomerase I (dotted line, n = 12).(B) SRC patients negative for anti-topoisomerase I were classified as patients with anti-RNA polymerase III (dotted line, n = 6), anti-centromere (broken line, n = 2), and others/not detected (chain line, n = 4).ConclusionSpecific SSc-related autoantibodies were associated with the morbidity and mortality in SRC.References[1]Nihtyanova SI, et al.

Abstract
BackgroundDifficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis (D2T RA) is defined as RA in which disease activity is uncontrolled despite the use of two or more biologics or Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) with different mechanisms of action (MOA).ObjectivesTo explore the optimal treatment strategy for D2T RA, we evaluated the drug retention, efficacy, and reasons for discontinuation of biologics or JAKi used for patients with D2T RA in a longitudinal multicenter cohort.MethodsRA patients with clinical disease activity index (CDAI) >10 despite the use of at least two biologics or JAKi with different MOA and further treated with biologics or JAKi were included. The drug retention rates of biologics (TNFi, IL-6Ri, and CTLA4-Ig) or JAKi were estimated at 12 months using the Kaplan-Meier method and adjusted for potential confounders (age, sex, disease duration, concomitant MTX and PSL use, and the number of switched biologics or JAKi) using Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsA total of 251 treatment courses (TCs) from 167 patients were included (TNFi: 97 TCs, IL-6Ri: 67 TCs, CTLA4-Ig: 27 TCs, JAKi: 60 TCs). Baseline characteristics showed no difference in age, sex, disease duration, ACPA positivity, CDAI, and concomitant MTX and PSL use between the four groups. Drug retention excluding non-toxic reasons and remission was significantly higher in patients treated with JAKi or IL-6Ri than in patients treated with TNFi or CTLA4-Ig (P=0.00172). Multivariate analysis using Cox proportional hazards models demonstrated that discontinuation of the drug was associated with the use of TNFi or CTLA4-Ig (HR: 3.29, 95%CI: 1.15-9.42, P=0.027) and concomitant PSL use (HR: 1.14, 95%CI: 1.04-1.26, P=0.0084). In terms of disease activity evaluated with CDAI, no difference was observed between the four groups at 3 months (P=0.90), at 6 months (P=0.77), and at 12 months (P=0.75).ConclusionIn patients with D2T RA, JAKi or IL-6Ri may have treatment advantages compared with TNFi or CTLA4-Ig.References[1] EULAR definition of difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis.Nagy G, Roodenrijs NMT, Welsing PM, Kedves M, Hamar A, van der Goes MC, Kent A, Bakkers M, Blaas E, Senolt L, Szekanecz Z, Choy E, Dougados M, Jacobs JW, Geenen R, Bijlsma HW, Zink A, Aletaha D, Schoneveld L, van Riel P, Gutermann L, Prior Y, Nikiphorou E, Ferraccioli G, Schett G, Hyrich KL, Mueller-Ladner U, Buch MH, McInnes IB, van der Heijde D, van Laar JM.Ann Rheum Dis. 2021 Jan;80(1):31-35.[2] Prevalence and predictive factors of difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis: the KURAMA cohort.Watanabe R, Hashimoto M, Murata K, Murakami K, Tanaka M, Ohmura K, Ito H, Matsuda S.Immunol Med. 2021 May 25:1-10.Disclosure of InterestsRyu Watanabe Speakers bureau: Eli Lilly, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Pfizer, Sanofi, AbbVie, Asahi Kasei, Eisai, Bristol-Myers Squibb, UCB Japan, Chugai, Janssen, Astellas, Nippon Shinyaku, Daiichi Sankyo, Gilead Sciences Japan, and Boehringer ingelheim., Tadashi Okano Speakers bureau: Asahi Kasei, Astellas, Abbvie, Amgen, Ayumi, Chugai, Daiichi-Sankyo, Eisai, Eli Lilly, Gilead Sciences, Janssen, Kyowa Kirin, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Novartis, Ono, Pfizer, Sanofi, Takeda, UCB, Grant/research support from: Asahi Kasei, Abbvie, Chugai, Eisai, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Shinsuke Yamada: None declared, Wataru Yamamoto: None declared, Koichi Murata Speakers bureau: Eisai Co., Ltd., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.; Asahi Kasei Pharma Corp.; and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Co., and Daiichi Sankyo Co.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES For thymic epithelial tumors, simple contact with adjacent structures does not necessarily mean invasion. The purpose of our study was to develop a simple noninvasive technique for evaluating organ invasion using routine pretreatment computed tomography (CT). METHODS This retrospective study analyzed the pathological reports on 95 mediastinal resections performed between January 2003 and June 2020. Using CT images, the length of the interface between the primary tumor and neighboring structures (arch distance; Adist) and maximum tumor diameter (Dmax) was measured, after which Adist/Dmax (A/D) ratios were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyze the Adist and A/D ratios. RESULTS An Adist cut-off of 37.5 mm best distinguished between invaded and non-invaded mediastinal great veins based on ROC curves. When Adist > 37.5 mm was used for diagnosis of invasion of the brachiocephalic vein (BCV) or superior vena cava (SVC), the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, accuracy, and area under the ROC curve for diagnosis of invasion were 61.9%, 92.5%, 81.25%, 82.2%, 81.97%, and 0.76429, respectively. Moreover, there were significant differences between BCV/SVC Adist > 37.5 mm and ≤ 37.5 mm for 10-year relapse-free survival and 10-year overall survival (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS When diagnosing invasion of the mediastinal great veins based on Adist > 37.5 mm, we achieved a higher performance level than the conventional criteria such as irregular interface with an absence of the fat layer. Measurement of Adist is a simple noninvasive technique for evaluating invasion using CT. Key Points • Simple contact between the primary tumor and adjacent structures on CT does not indicate direct invasion. • Using CT images, the length of the interface between the primary tumor and neighboring structures (arch distance; Adist) is a simple noninvasive technique for evaluating invasion. • Adist > 37.5 mm can be a supportive tool to identify invaded mediastinal great veins and surgical indications for T3 and T4 invasion by thymic epithelial tumors.

Abstract
Background The aim of the present study was to use surgical and histological results to develop a simple noninvasive technique to improve nodal staging using preoperative PET/CT in patients with resectable lung cancer. Methods Preoperative PET/CT findings (pStage IB–III 182 patients) and pathological diagnoses after surgical resection were evaluated. Using PET/CT images to determine the standardized uptake value (SUV) ratio, the SUVmax of a contralateral hilar lymph node (on the side of the chest opposite to the primary tumor) was measured simultaneously. The I/C‐SUV ratio was calculated as ipsilateral hilar node SUV/contralateral hilar node SUV. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were then used to analyze those data. Results Based on ROC analyses, the cutoff I/C‐SUV ratio for diagnosis of lymph node metastasis was 1.34. With a tumor ipsilateral lymph node SUVmax ≥2.5, an IC‐SUV ratio ≥1.34 had the highest accuracy for predicting N1/N2 metastasis; the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of nodal staging were 60.66, 85.11, 84.09, 62.5 and 71.29%, respectively. Conclusions When diagnosing nodal stage, a lymph node I/C‐SUV ratio ≥1.34 can be an effective criterion for determining surgical indications in advanced lung cancer.

Abstract
The results of quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) studies on electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) have been inconsistent, and indicators of the efficacy of ECT have not been clearly identified. In this study, we examined whether qEEG could be used as an indicator of the effect of ECT by measuring it during the course of treatment. We analyzed qEEG data before and after acute-phase ECT in 18 patients with schizophrenia, mood disorders, and other psychiatric disorders. We processed the qEEG data and compared the spectral power between the data acquired before and after ECT. The spectral power increased significantly after ECT in the delta, theta, and alpha bands. There was a strong significant correlation between the increase in the spectral power of the alpha band after acute ECT and improvement in the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale score. Our results suggest that an increase in the alpha-band spectral power may be useful as an objective indicator of the treatment effect of acute ECT.

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.

Background
Although myocardial perfusion heterogeneity due to focally damaged cardiomyocytes is observed in single−photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging, a current perfusion defect scoring system does not allow us to provide sufficient diagnostic information for heterogeneity.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to perform radiomics analysis of myocardial perfusion SPECT (MPS) images to investigate the potential to detect myocardial perfusion heterogeneity.
Methods
Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (n = 3), heart failure (n = 9), and with a low likelihood of coronary artery disease (n =15) (Figure 1), who underwent a rest 99mTc-MIBI myocardial perfusion SPECT, were assessed using a LIFEx software. Four shape−based features, 6 histogram−based features, and 32 textural features were computed. The relevant features for the classification of the patients were selected using the Boruta algorithm, and hierarchical clustering of the selected features using the Spearman correlation coefficient was also performed for the feature reduction. The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) analysis was performed by the support vector machine to calculate the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the selected features.
Results
Of 40 features, 17 were selected by the classification analysis, and these features were classified into 7 classes by the correlation analysis (Figure 2). The ROC AUCs for 7 features extracted from each class were 0.99, 0.97, 0.96, 0.92, 0.90, 0.86, and 0.83 for the contrast of NDGLDM, the entropy of histogram, ZLNU of GLZLM, the energy of GLCM, the energy of histogram, SZLGE of GLZLM, and the correlation of GLCM, respectively, as compared to 0.39 for a summed rest score.
Conclusions
Radiomics analysis successfully determined the myocardial perfusion heterogeneity in patients with cardiomyopathy and heart failure. It might be promising for the evaluation of myocardial damages that cannot be analyzed by the conventional scoring method.

Abstract
The release of ATP from the epithelium of the urinary bladder (urothelium) in response to mechanical/chemical stimuli contributes to the visceral sensation in the micturition reflex. The nitric oxide (NO)-mediated induction of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) has been detected in urothelial cells and may inhibit the micturition reflex. However, the function of the NO-cGMP pathway in the regulation of urothelial ATP release remains poorly understood in contrast to its effects on smooth muscles or primary afferent nerves. Therefore, we investigated the relevance of the NO-cGMP pathway to ATP release on the mucosal side in the present study. The administration of l-arginine (NO precursor) or NOC 12 (NO donor) significantly reduced ATP release to the mucosal side at a physiologically normal urine storage pressure (5 cmH2 O). L-NAME (NO synthase inhibitor) significantly increased the distention-induced release of ATP. The phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, sildenafil, which increases cGMP levels, inhibited distention-induced ATP release. Furthermore, sildenafil significantly reduced ATP release in response to the administration of lipopolysaccharide. These results suggest that the NO-cGMP pathway inhibited urothelial ATP release during the storage phase under both physiological and pathological conditions.

Abstract
Background:We have previously identified single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs6871626 in IL12B, rs103294 in LILRA3, rs17133698 in DUSP22, rs2322599 in PTK2B, and rs1713450 in KLHL33 as non-HLA susceptibility loci in Takayasu arteritis (TAK) [1, 2]. However, the association of these SNPs with clinical features has scarcely investigated.Objectives:In this study, we aimed to examine how these SNPs contribute to clinical features and vascular damage in TAK.Methods:We enrolled 99 TAK patients who were enrolled in our previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) [2]. To assess vascular damage, Takayasu Arteritis Damage Score (TADS) and Vasculitis Damage Index (VDI) were measured at the last visit before November 2020. As for organ damages, the presence or absence of aortic regurgitation (AR), hypertension, ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular event, visual loss, end-stage renal failure, and inflammatory bowel disease were evaluated. Treatment profiles including immunosuppressive drugs and vascular interventions were also reviewed.Results:The incidence of AR was positively associated with the risk allele of IL12B rs6871626 (p=0.0052; odds ratio (OR) 2.45, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.27-4.73), and so was the proportion of patients who underwent aortic valve replacement (p=0.023; OR 3.64, 95% CI 1.08-12.24) (table 1). The incidence of hypertension was associated with the risk allele of IL12B rs6871626 (p=0.049; OR 1.82, 95% CI 0.99-3.36) and PTK2B rs2322599 (p=0.044; OR 2.52, 95% CI 0.97-6.54) (table 1). The proportion of biologic users tended to be higher in the risk genotypes of IL12B rs6871626 (p=0.15; OR1.80, 95% CI 0.79-3.99). Regarding vascular damage, there was positive correlation between TADS and the risk allele of IL12B rs6871626 (p=0.0035; β= 1.35) (Figure 1). Moreover, VDI was also positively correlated with the allele (p=0.0054; β= 0.96) (Figure 1). No other clinicogenetic associations were observed between five SNPs and vasculitis-associated damages.Table 1.The association of the five SNPs with aortic regurgitation and hypertensionAortic regurgitationHypertensionOR (95% CI)p valueOR (95% CI)p valueIL12B rs68716262.45 (1.27-4.73)0.0052*1.82 (0.99-3.36)0.049*PTK2B rs23225991.21 (0.51-2.86)0.672.51 (0.97-6.54)0.044*LILRA3 rs1032941.16 (0.52-2.61)0.711.20 (0.55-1.64)0.64DUSP22 rs171336980.56 (0.28-1.13)0.0900.87 (0.46-1.63)0.66KLHL33 rs17134500.89 (0.42-1.91)0.771.48 (0.68-3.22)0.31SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence intervalConclusion:In the present study, IL12B rs6871626 was closely correlated with vascular damage.

Abstract
Background:It has long been recognized that immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), are prone to coexist with depression due to the effects of cytokines, and that these two illnesses lead to an elevation in patients’ pain. However, we often encounter patients with RA who suffer from residual pain despite an improvement in disease activity and inflammation. The specific psychological factors associated with residual pain have not yet been clarified. In addition to the traditional psychological factors, such as depression and anxiety, we focused on pain catastrophizing due to the distortion of pain perception and explored its association with residual pain.Objectives:To examine whether psychological factors, such as pain catastrophizing, depression, and anxiety, are associated with self-reported pain visual analogue scale (pain-VAS) scores in RA patients with 1 or less on 28joints- swollen/tender counts (SJC/TJC) and CRP.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study of 290 RA outpatients (85% of whom were women) with scores of less than 1 on SJC, TJC, and CRP, with a median (IQR) age of 66 (57–73) years. The participants completed questionnaires, including pain VAS (0–100 mm), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS, 0–52 scale), and Hospital Depression and Anxiety Scale (HADS, 0–42 scale). Using linear regression analyses, we analysed whether PC (PCS ≥30), depression (HADS-D ≥11), and anxiety (HADS-A ≥11) (independent variables) were associated with pain VAS scores (dependent variable). After univariate regression analysis, multivariate analysis adjusted for confounding factors was performed.Results:Patients reported a wide range of pain severity with a median (range) pain VAS score of 9 (0–96mm). The prevalence of anxiety and depression were 5.5% and 5.9%, respectively. Meanwhile, 24.1% of the patients experienced pain catastrophizing. Pain catastrophizing was associated with pain VAS scores in univariate and multivariate analyses (Table 1). The presence of anxiety and depression was not associated with pain VAS scores in any model. Multivariate analysis of other covariates showed that age, disease duration, and presence of SJC/TJC of joints other than the 28 joints were positively correlated with pain VAS scores.Table 1.Univariate and multivariate regression analysis for independent variables associated with pain-VAS scoresUnivariateMultivariate independent variablesModel 1*Model 2**Pain catastrophizingEstimate3.74.13.695%CI 0.7 to 6.61.1 to 7.00.5 to 6.6p-value0.0150.0060.021AnxietyEstimate3.74.40.595%CI -1.9 to 9.2 -1.0 to 9.9 -3.5 to 7.9p value0.1980.1080.453DepressionEstimate3.54.23.995%CI -1.9 to 8.9 -1.1 to 9.5 -1.9 to 8.7p-value0.2040.1190.210The covariates in multivariate analysis are as follows: age, sex, body mass index, disease duration, Steinbrocker’s Stage, prednisolone dosage, biologic agents use, and presence of swollen joint counts/tender joint counts of joints other than the 28 joints.*Model 1: each psychological independent variable and the above covariates.**Model 2: all psychological independent variables and the above covariates.Conclusion:Pain catastrophizing was associated with pain VAS scores in RA patients with 1 or less on 28joints-SJC/TJC and CRP, emphasising that residual pain in the patients should be treated in a biopsychosocial framework focussing on pain catastrophizing.Disclosure of Interests:Tamami Yoshida: None declared, Motomu Hashimoto Speakers bureau: Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation; Bristol-Myers Squibb; Eisai Co., Ltd.; and Eli Lilly and Company., Grant/research support from: Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation; Bristol-Myers Squibb; Eisai Co., Ltd.; and Eli Lilly and Company., Kosaku Murakami Speakers bureau: Eisai Co., Ltd.; Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.; Pfizer Inc.; Bristol-Myers Squibb; Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Co; UCB Japan Co., Ltd.; Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.; and Astellas Pharma Inc., Consultant of: Eisai Co., Ltd.; Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.; Pfizer Inc.; Bristol-Myers Squibb; Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Co; UCB Japan Co., Ltd.; Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.; and Astellas Pharma Inc., Koichi Murata Speakers bureau: Eisai Co., Ltd. and Astellas Pharma Inc., Consultant of: Eisai Co., Ltd. and Astellas Pharma Inc., Kohei Nishitani Grant/research support from: Asahi-Kasei Pharma., Ryu Watanabe Speakers bureau: Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Co; Pfizer Inc.; Sanofi S.A.; AbbVie GK; Asahi Kasei Pharma; Eisai Co., Ltd.; Eli Lilly and Company; Bristol-Myers Squibb; and Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Teruhide Koyama: None declared, Ritei Uehara: None declared, Masao Tanaka Speakers bureau: AbbVie GK, Asahi Kasei Pharma., Astellas Pharma Inc., Ayumi Pharmaceutical Co., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Eisai Co., Ltd., Eli Lilly Japan K.K., Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Co., Novartis Pharma K.K., Pfizer Inc., Taisyo Pharma., Ltd., UCB Japan Co., Ltd., Grant/research support from: AbbVie GK, Asahi Kasei Pharma., Astellas Pharma Inc., Ayumi Pharmaceutical Co., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Eisai Co., Ltd., Eli Lilly Japan K.K., Janssen Pharmaceutical K.K., Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Co., Novartis Pharma K.K., Pfizer Inc., Taisyo Pharma., Ltd., UCB Japan Co., Ltd., Hiromu Ito Grant/research support from: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eisai Co, Taisyo Pharma., and Mochida., Shuichi Matsuda: None declared

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that contributes to accelerating frailty, a clinical state of increased vulnerability due to declined physiological function. Although accumulating evidence suggests the importance of nutritional therapy for frailty in the general population, there is little evidence on dietary recommendations for preventing frailty in patients with RA.Objectives:The present study aimed to reveal clinical associations between frailty status, eating habits and RA disease activity.Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study of 306 female outpatients enrolled from the KURAMA (Kyoto University Rheumatoid Arthritis Management Alliance) cohort database. The participants were classified into three groups (robust, prefrail and frail) according to simplified frailty scale (SOF index), and dietary data were collected using a self-reported food frequency questionnaire as previously reported. We performed multivariate logistic analyses for the presence of frailty/prefrailty with or without eating habits.Results:Frail group showed physical decline such as decreased skeletal muscle index, hand grip strength and walking speed, and DAS28-ESR in the frail group was significantly higher compared to that in the others. In multivariate logistic analysis, the presence of frailty/prefrailty was correlated with DAS28-ESR (OR 1.71, p=0.00004) and methotrexate use (OR 0.47, p=0.0097). Cochran-Armitage trend test also showed that the intake frequency of five ingredients (meat, fish, milk, fruits and vegetables) was inversely associated with the prevalence of frailty/prefrailty. In additional multivariate logistic analyses with dietary habits, habitual intake of fish (at least three times per week), rather than meat or other foods, was independently correlated with the presence of frailty/prefrailty (OR 0.33, p=0.00027).Conclusion:Our results suggest that habitual intake of fish, rather than meat or other foods, may be beneficial in preventing frailty among RA patients.References:[1]Ferrucci, L. & Fabbri, E.

Abstract
Topological superconductors (TSCs) are unconventional superconductors with bulk superconducting gap and in-gap Majorana states on the boundary that may be used as topological qubits for quantum computation. Despite their importance in both fundamental research and applications, natural TSCs are very rare. Here, combining state of the art synchrotron and laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we investigated a stoichiometric transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), 2M-WS2 with a superconducting transition temperature of 8.8 K (the highest among all TMDs in the natural form up to date) and observed distinctive topological surface states (TSSs). Furthermore, in the superconducting state, we found that the TSSs acquired a nodeless superconducting gap with similar magnitude as that of the bulk states. These discoveries not only evidence 2M-WS2 as an intrinsic TSC without the need of sensitive composition tuning or sophisticated heterostructures fabrication, but also provide an ideal platform for device applications thanks to its van der Waals layered structure.

Abstract
The differences in prognoses or progression patterns between T4b non-N4 and non-T4b N4 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma post chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is unclear. This study compared the outcomes of CRT for stage IVa esophageal squamous cell carcinoma according to T/N factors. We retrospectively identified 66 patients with stage IVa esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent definitive CRT at our center between January 2009 and March 2013. The treatment outcomes, i.e., progression patterns, prognostic factors, and toxicities based on version 5.0 of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, were studied. The patients (56 men and 10 women) had a median age of 67 (range: 37-87) years. The T/N classifications were T4b non-N4 (28/66), non-T4b N4 (24/66), and T4b N4 (14/66). Objective response was achieved in 57 patients (86.4%, (95% confidence interval, 74.6-94.1%)). There were no significant differences between the T/N groups in terms of overall survival, progression-free survival, and progression pattern. We found no significant differences in prognoses or progression patterns among patients with T4b non-N4, non-T4b N4, and T4b N4 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Thus, it seems impractical to modify CRT regimens based on T/N factors.

Abstract
After Hellman and Weichselbaum defined "Oligometastasis" in 1995, several local therapies for lung oligometastases including surgical resection and external body radiation therapy were reported that improved local control (LC) and progression-free survival, overall survival, and quality of life. This suggests that oligometastases is a potentially curable state. Modern advances in radiation therapy such as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in which high dose coverage of target lesion without exposure of normal organ is possible, and are widely used to treat solitary or a limited number of primary lung cancer and metastases. Several reports showed that SBRT was a useful treatment method for lung oligometastases, and the LC rate of SBRT was 80-90% in 2 years and less invasive than surgical resection. SBRT is a safe and effective especially for small and peripheral lung metastases. However, if the metastatic lesion is big or centrally located, careful treatment is necessary to prevent radiation pneumonitis. After SBRT, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate local recurrence and pulmonary injury, especially in the early phase. However, it is important to detect local recurrence especially in patients who require further local therapy such as surgical resection and re-irradiation or systemic therapy. The diagnosis can be improved by determining the natural course after SBRT and local recurrence with computed tomography imaging and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography, respectively. Moreover, radiation therapy may have both local and systemic effects that are related to the enhancement of immune-response after radiation. Currently, several trials evaluating the benefits of SBRT for oligometastatic breast cancer are underway. However, the adaption of SBRT for lung metastases including other treatment strategies should be carefully discussed by the radiation oncologist and a multi-disciplinary team comprising a breast surgeon, medical oncologist, diagnostic radiologist, and radiation oncologist, among others.

Abstract
Background:Medical image analysis using deep learning (DL) has been attracting attention. In previous research, we proposed a DL method for detection of joint region and evaluation for bone destruction at a single point in time in hand X-rays of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) [1-2]. However, in the score of van der Heijde-modified total Sharp scores (mTSS) in X-rays, it is difficult to apply the method as it is. In mTSS, score difference between 2-time points is important, and there is a problem that the score at each time varies depending on the doctor who evaluates.Objectives:We aimed at developing an mTSS scoring method considering 2-time-point difference with a DL method.Methods:A total of 104 X-ray image sets of both hands at two time points with an interval of ≥1 year were randomly obtained from patients with RA who had visited our clinic in 2015. Well-trained doctors determined the erosion scores of MP and PIP/IP joints of each hand in X-rays according to mTSS. These evaluations of hand joints were performed using our developed annotation software tool. In the learning phase, joint images were randomly divided into five sets for 5-fold cross-validation. We utilized a convolutional neural network model, such as SSD [3], for detecting joint regions and classifying the scores (Fig 1).Figure1.The models for classification were designed in consideration of the difference in erosion scores of each patient between the 2-time points of X-rays. The loss function of the DL model was defined bellow;SCE: softmax cross entropyMSE: mean squared errort: training datay: output of DL model0: the former time point1: the latter time pointT: transpose of matrixHere, the coefficient γ is designed to reduce the error for another set of scores with equal differences. The first term of the loss function works to optimize the score at each time point, and the second term works to optimize the score difference at both time points. Thus, our method can be trained without being affected by characteristic training data.Results:The number of joints with differences in erosion score between the former and latter time points was 1 (-2 points), 9 (-1), 2015 (0), 32 (+1), 17 (+2), and 6 (+3). There were no joints with score changes of -5, -4, -3, +4, and +5 points.As a performance of predicting the difference in erosion score between the 2-time points of each patient’s X-ray, our models presented a mean error of 0.412 per each joint in one set for 5-cross validation as compared with physicians’ evaluation (Fig 2).Figure 2.Conclusion:Our DL-based models to predict hand joint erosion scores in X-rays were developed with relatively small samples. This suggests that the predictive performance may increase by collecting more training dataset. Next, we will apply our method to the prediction of joint space narrowing score.References:[1]Izumi K, Hashimoto M, Suzuki K, et al.

Abstract
Background:SKG mice have been known for their autoreactive Th17 cells resulting from the insufficient thymic negative selection due to a Zap70 mutation1,2). Under specific pathogen-free conditions, they acquire features of spondyloarthritis (SpA) by intraperitoneal injection of curdlan, a (1,3)-β-glucan3). Several reports have shown that Th17 cells also increase in human SpA4). However, CTLA4-Ig, which ameliorates rheumatoid arthritis by suppressing pathogenic cells such as effector T cells, was unable to show adequate efficacy as much as expected in SpA patients5). Around the same time, innate lymphocytes began to be focused on, in the pathogenesis of SpA, including innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), which abundantly reside in the gut6).Objectives:This study aimed to clarify the effects of CTLA4-Ig on the pathogenesis of SpA by using curdlan-treated SKG mice, focusing on type 3 immunity such as Th17 cells and ILC3s.Methods:Two- to three-month-old female SKG mice were injected intraperitoneally with 3mg of curdlan or PBS at the beginning and with 500 µg of CTLA4-Ig or PBS every other week (n=5 per group). The body weight and arthritis score were measured weekly for a month. Then, the changes in the proportion of T cells and ILCs in the spleen and Peyer’s patches (PPs) were analysed by flow cytometry (FCM). BALB/c mice, without treatment, were also examined by FCM as a control cohort. In addition, a next-generation analysis of their feces was performed on 16S ribosomal coding genes before curdlan and CTLA4-Ig treatment.Results:SKG mice contained not only more Th17 cells but also more ILC1s and ILC3s than BALB/c mice, in their guts (the PPs). The feces of SKG mice intrinsically showed a decrease in the number of bacterial species, suggesting a dysbiosis. Then, in curdlan-treated SKG mice, CTLA4-Ig administration decreased the proportion of both Th17 cells and ILC3s in the spleen, but did not decrease the proportion of ILC3s in the PPs. Moreover, the ILC3/ILC1 ratio in the PPs was from low to high in the order of SKG mice without treatment, SKG mice injected with curdlan, and SKG mice injected with both curdlan and CTLA4-Ig. The phenotype corresponding to SpA features, in curdlan-treated SKG mice, continued after repeated CTLA4-Ig administration.Conclusion:Curdlan provoked SpA features in SKG mice with an intrinsic dysbiosis. Additional CTLA4-Ig injection decreased the proportion of Th17 cells but maintained that of ILC3s with increased ILC3/ILC1 ratio in the gut. This result supports the hypothesis that in the SpA pathophysiology, a weakened acquired immunity in the gut might lead to ILC3 activation, via dysbiosis, and its continuous disease progression, suggesting that ILC3s are a promising therapeutic target in SpA.References:[1]Sakaguchi N, Sakaguchi S, et al.

Abstract
Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that can not only cause systemic symptoms, such as fever and arthritis, but can also damage important organs, such as those of the central nervous system and the kidneys. Prevention of irreversible organ damage is important for better prognosis [1]. Additionally, the importance of maintaining the quality of life (QOL) of patients has recently been emphasized. However, only a few studies have examined the relationship between irreversible organ damage and patient QOL.Objectives:To assess the relationship between organ damage and QOL, and to survey which organs have more significant effects on QOL.Methods:We conducted a questionnaire-based survey of 183 patients with SLE at Kyoto University Hospital from September to December 2019. We used the SLICC/ACR Damage Index (SDI) to evaluate organ damage [2]. The following five scales were employed to evaluate QOL: the physical (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) of the Medical Outcome Study (MOS) 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey version 2.0 (SF-36v2) [3], health (HRQOL) and non-health-related QOL (N-HRQOL) of LupusPRO [4], and SLE Symptom Checklist (SSC) [5].Results:Linear regression analysis showed significant correlation between the SDI score and all QOL scales except for N-HRQOL, suggesting negative effects of organ damage on QOL (Table 1). Next, we analysed whether there was a significant difference in the SF-36 score between those who were positive and negative for each SDI item (41 in total), using the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Muscle atrophy or weakness (p= 3.0×10-10), osteoporosis with fracture or vertebral collapse (p= 9.7×10-8), claudication (p= 7.4×10-5), and cognitive impairment or major psychosis (p= 9.9×10-5) significantly correlated (p< 1.2×10-3) with PCS, and scarring chronic alopecia (p= 3.4×10-4) with MCS (Table 2). In addition, the five SDI items significantly correlated with the remaining three QOL scales (HRQOL, N-HRQOL, and SSC;p< 0.05).Table 1.Relationship between the SDI score and QOLSF-36LupusPROSSCPCSMCSHRQOLN-HRQOLp-value<2.0×10-161.7×10-32.2×10-110.231.9×10-8Table 2.Relationship between each SDI item and the SF-36 score (p< 1.2×10-3SDI itemPCS scorep-valuePositive(Median (IQR))Negative(Median (IQR))Muscle atrophy/weakness33 (19-45)50 (43-54)3.0×10-10Osteoporosis with fracture/vertebral collapse24 (12-32)49 (38-54)9.7×10-8Claudication31 (19-35)49 (38-54)7.4×10-5Cognitive impairment/psychosis27 (17-33)49 (38-54)9.9×10-5SDI itemMCS scorep-valuePositive(Median (IQR))Negative(Median (IQR))Scarring chronic alopecia42 (29-51)49 (39-54)3.4×10-4Conclusion:We demonstrated that organ damage has negative effects on patient QOL, indicating the importance of preventing irreversible organ damage for maintaining QOL. Moreover, muscle atrophy/weakness, osteoporosis with fracture/vertebral collapse, claudication, cognitive impairment/major psychosis, and scarring chronic alopecia significantly correlated with QOL deterioration, suggesting that these items should be examined with special care in clinical practice.References:[1]Lopez R, et al.

Abstract
Background:A number of previous reports suggested that obesity is one of the baseline factors indicates refractory to biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). However, difference of the significant responses appears on obesity patients depending on each kind of drug is yet unclear. However, it is yet unclear how the significant responses on obesity patients vary on each kind of drug.Objectives:To assess whether obesity affects clinical outcome in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with each molecular-targeted agent including bDMARDs and tofacitinib.Methods:In Kansai consortium for well-being of rheumatic disease patients (ANSWER) cohort, which was the real-world retrospective cohort of clinical database for rheumatic diseases, RA patients who initiated biological / targeted disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs were included and consecutively followed. Obesity was defined as BMI over than 25, and patients were divided between obese (“Ob”) and non-obese (“non-Ob”) patients. SDAI (simplified disease activity index) was compared between non-Ob and Ob at month 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 after the indicated drugs were administered. Using logistic regression analysis, odds ratio (OR) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were further calculated to estimate achievement rate of SDAI remission defined as lower than 3.3 by obesity and other relevant clinical parameters. Once after the drugs were discontinued by any unfavorable reason, disease activities were no more scored and the Last Observation Carried Forward (LOCF) imputation method was used for SDAI at month 3 and thereafter.Results:A total of 1936 patients met in the inclusion criteria were under the analysis. In each drug, SDAI remission rate (non-Ob, Ob, p-value by Chi-square test) at month 12 was as follows; Infliximab (IFX, n=135): 43%, 38%, NS (not significant); Etanercept (ETN, n=188): 44%, 19%, p=0.0122; Adalimumab (ADA, n=169): 50%, 56%, NS; Golimumab (GLM, n=315): 36%, 30%, NS; Certolizumab pegol (CZP, n=131): 33%, 56%, p=0.0287; Tocilizumab (TCZ, n=423): 41%, 29%, p=0.0456; Abatacept (ABT, n=144): 26%, 23%, NS; Tofacitinib (TOF, n=69): 27%, 23%, NS. In multivariate analysis to predict SDAI remission at month 12, obesity was an independent protective factor in CZP (OR: 0.29, 95% CIs: 0.10 – 0.83), but was an independent risk factor in TCZ (OR: 1.9, 95% CIs: 1.01 – 3.61) irrespective of age, sex, disease duration, SDAI at month 0 or number of previous bDMARDs. Any other drug including ETN did not show significant result between non -Ob and Ob in the multivariate analysis.Conclusion:Obese patients were more resistant to TCZ but more effective in CZP than non-obese patients.References:[1]Ann Rheum Dis. 2018;77(10):1405-1412.

Abstract
Background:Adiponectin is a major adipokine with pleiotropic effects on inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Adiponectin generally has anti-atherogenic effects, and its serum level inversely correlates with body mass index (BMI) and visceral fat area (VFA). On the other hand, several studies have indicated a deleterious role of adiponectin in RA progression [1]. Recently, both low BMI and increased serum adiponectin have been reported as poor prognostic factors of RA [2, 3]. However, large-scale surveys have not been done focusing on both BMI and serum adiponectin, and it is unclear which factor provides further contribution to RA disease activity. In addition, the effects of biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) and Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors on serum adiponectin are largely unknown.Objectives:To clarify the relationship among serum adiponectin, body composition, current disease activity and therapeutic agents of RA.Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study in RA patients under treatment with agents including bDMARDs and JAK inhibitors. A total of 351 subjects from the Kyoto University RA Management Alliance cohort (KURAMA) were enrolled. We classified the participants into five body composition groups (overweight with or without visceral adiposity, normal with or without visceral adiposity, and underweight), according to the cut-off points for obesity and visceral fat used in Japan: BMI, 18.5 kg/m2for underweight and 25.0 kg/m2for obesity, and VFA, 100 cm2for visceral adiposity. Differences of continuous variables among the five groups were assessed by the Steel-Dwass test or one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). We adopted a multiple standardized linear regression model to analyze effects of serum adiponectin level on DAS28-ESR.Results:Serum adiponectin levels (20.9±12.5 vs. 14.7±8.4 µg/ml, p < 0.001) and DAS28-ESR (3.04±1.0 vs. 2.63±0.9,p= 0.017) in the underweight group were significantly higher than those in the others. In multiple regression analysis, serum adiponectin level, but not BMI, was positively correlated with DAS28-ESR (estimate = 0.0127,p= 0.0258). Subanalysis also showed that the use of bDMARD or JAK inhibitor did not have an obvious influence on circulating adiponectin.Conclusion:In the multiple regression analysis we revealed a positive and independent correlation between serum adiponectin and DAS28-ESR in Japanese RA patients. Thus, serum adiponectin is an potential marker reflecting high disease activity of RA regardless of current medications.References:[1]Frommer KW, Zimmermann B, Meier FM, Schroder D, Heil M, Schaffler A, et al.

Abstract
Background:EULAR recommendation announced that biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) and janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) are considered as equivalent in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, we still lack reliable evidence of direct comparison between these agents’ retention, which may reflect both effectiveness and safety.Objectives:The aim of this multi-center (7 university-related hospitals), retrospective study is to clarify retention rates and reasons for discontinuation of 7 bDMARDs and tofacitinib (TOF), one of the JAKi, in both bDMARDs-naïve and bDMARDs-switched cases.Methods:This study assessed 3,897 patients and 4,415 treatment courses of with bDMARDs and TOF from 2001 to 2019 (2,737 bDMARDs-naïve patients and 1,678 bDMARDs-switched patients [59.5% switched to their second agent], female 82.3%, baseline age 57.4 years, disease duration 8.5 years; rheumatoid factor positivity 78.4%; DAS28-ESR 4.3; concomitant prednisolone [PSL] 6.1 mg/day [42.4%] and methotrexate [MTX] 8.5 mg/week [60.9%]). Treatment courses included abatacept (ABT; n=663), adalimumab (ADA; n=536), certolizumab pegol (CZP; n=226), etanercept (ETN; n=856), golimumab (GLM; n=458), infliximab (IFX; n=724), tocilizumab (TCZ; n=851), and TOF (n=101/only bDMARDs-switched cases). Reasons for discontinuation were classified into four categories by each attending physician: 1) lack of effectiveness, 2) toxic adverse events, 3) non-toxic reasons, and 4) remission. Retention rates of each discontinuation reason were estimated at 36 months using the Kaplan-Meier method and adjusted for potential clinical confounders (age, sex, disease duration, concomitant PSL and MTX, starting date and number of switched bDMARDs) using Cox proportional hazards modeling.Results:Adjusted drug retention rates for each discontinuation reason were as follows: lack of effectiveness in the bDMARDs-naïve group (from 70.8% [CZP] to 85.1% [ABT]; P=0.001 between agents) and the bDMARDs-switched group (from 52.8% [CZP] to 78.7% [TCZ]; P<0.001 between agents). Toxic adverse events in the bDMARDs-naïve group (from 86.9% [IFX] to 96.3% [ABT]; P<0.001 between agents) and the bDMARDs-switched group (from 81.1% [ADA] to 95.4% [ETN]; P=0.01 between agents). Finally, overall retention rates excluding discontinuation for non-toxic reasons or remission ranged from 64.2% (IFX) to 82.0% (ABT) (P<0.001 between agents) in the bDMARDs-naïve group (figure a) and from 44.2% (ADA) to 66.8% (TCZ) (P<0.001 between agents) in the bDMARDs-switched group (figure b).Conclusion:Remarkable differences were observed in drug retention of 7 bDMARDs and TOF between bDMARDs-naïve and bDMARDs-switched cases.Disclosure of Interests:Kosuke Ebina Grant/research support from: KE has received research grants from Abbie, Asahi-Kasei, Astellas, Chugai, Eisai, Ono Pharmaceutical, and UCB Japan., Employee of: KE is affiliated with the Department of Musculoskeletal Regenerative Medicine, Osaka University, Graduate School of Medicine, which is supported by Taisho., Speakers bureau: KE has received payments for lectures from Abbie, Asahi-Kasei, Astellas, Ayumi, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Chugai, Eisai, Eli Lilly, Janssen, Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Ono Pharmaceutical, Sanofi, and UCB Japan., Toru Hirano Grant/research support from: TH received a research grant and/or speaker fee from Astellas, Chugai, Nippon Shinyaku, Abbvie, Eisai, and Ono Pharmaceutical, Speakers bureau: TH received a research grant and/or speaker fee from Astellas, Chugai, Nippon Shinyaku, Abbvie, Eisai, and Ono Pharmaceutical, Yuichi Maeda Grant/research support from: YM received a research grant and/or speaker fee from Eli Lilly, Chugai, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Speakers bureau: YM received a research grant and/or speaker fee from Eli Lilly, Chugai, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Wataru Yamamoto: None declared, Motomu Hashimoto Grant/research support from: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eisai, and Eli Lilly and Company., Speakers bureau: Bristol-Myers Squibb and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma., Koichi Murata Grant/research support from: KMurata belong to a department that has been financially supported by four pharmaceutical companies (Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Chugai, AYUMI and UCB Japan)., Employee of: KMurata belong to a department that has been financially supported by four pharmaceutical companies (Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Chugai, AYUMI and UCB Japan)., Speakers bureau: KMurak has received speaking fees, and/or consulting fees from Eisai Co.

Abstract
Background:It has been reported that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who have large joint involvement associated with higher serological inflammatory markers and more functional disability1. Moreover, a previous report showed that these patients were more difficult to achieve clinical remission. However, it remains unclear which biologics are effective in the patients with RA who have large joint involvement.Objectives:The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of anti-IL-6 receptor antibody (aIL-6) or TNF-inhibitor (TNFi) in the treatment of RA patients who have knee joint involvement.Methods:We enrolled the 784 patients who visited our hospitals in 2003 to 2019 and were treated with aIL-6 or TNFi more than 12 weeks. We divided the patients into 2 groups with or without knee joint involvement for further analysis. Knee joint involvement was defined as the patients had at least one swelling joint of knee at baseline. We investigated the CDAI levels at baseline and 12 weeks after the initiation of biologics.Results:Interestingly, the patients who had knee joint involvement with aIL-6 significantly ameliorated ΔCDAI (n=95, 15.0±10.8; mean±SD) compared to those with TNFi (n=148, 11.4±10.3) at 12 weeks (P=0.003). aIL-6 group consists of 95 tocilizumab treated patients. TNFi group includes 25 adalimumab, 25 certolizumab pegol, 14 etanercept, 54 golimumab and 30 infliximab treated patients. Baseline clinical characteristics of the 243 RA patients who had knee joint involvement were shown in Table 1. Mean ages, sex and disease durations were not significantly different between the two groups. Baseline CDAI levels of aIL-6 group (24.8±11.8) were slightly elevated compared to those of TNFi group (21.7 ±10.9). Multivariate analysis adjusted for age, gender and baseline CDAI levels revealed that aIL-6 significantly improved ΔCDAI levels compared to TNFi (P=0.04). By contrast, in the RA patients who had no swelling of knee joints, there was no significant difference of ΔCDAI improvement between aIL-6 group (n=156, 5.5±7.4) and TNFi group (n=385, 6.7±8.9).Table 1.Baseline clinical characteristics of 243 RA patients who had knee joint involvementaIL-6 group(n=95)TNFi group(n=148)p ValueAge (mean±SD)60.7±15.261.9±14.40.58Gender (female, %)80.079.10.97Duration (year)9.3 ±10.38.4±10.50.56DAS28ESR (mean±SD)5.3±1.25.2 ±4.80.03CDAI (mean ±SD)24.8±11.821.7 ±10.90.04MTX use, (%)45.462.20.02MTX dose (mg/day)8.7 ±3.39.0 ±3.50.61PSL use, (%)44.345.60.74PSL dose (mg/day)5.5 ±3.55.1 ±2.90.55Conclusion:Thus, these findings suggest that anti-IL-6 receptor antibody was more effective in the RA patients with knee joint involvement compared to TNF- inhibitor.References:[1]Burgers LE, et al.Ann Rheum Dis. 2018;77:e33.Disclosure of Interests:Yuichi Maeda Grant/research support from: YM received a research grant and/or speaker fee from Eli Lilly, Chugai, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Speakers bureau: YM received a research grant and/or speaker fee from Eli Lilly, Chugai, Pfizer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Toru Hirano Grant/research support from: TH received a research grant and/or speaker fee from Astellas, Chugai, Nippon Shinyaku, Abbvie, Eisai, and Ono Pharmaceutical, Speakers bureau: TH received a research grant and/or speaker fee from Astellas, Chugai, Nippon Shinyaku, Abbvie, Eisai, and Ono Pharmaceutical, Ryota Hara Speakers bureau: RH received a speaker fee from AbbVie, Kosuke Ebina Grant/research support from: KE has received research grants from Abbie, Asahi-Kasei, Astellas, Chugai, Eisai, Ono Pharmaceutical, and UCB Japan., Employee of: KE is affiliated with the Department of Musculoskeletal Regenerative Medicine, Osaka University, Graduate School of Medicine, which is supported by Taisho., Speakers bureau: KE has received payments for lectures from Abbie, Asahi-Kasei, Astellas, Ayumi, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Chugai, Eisai, Eli Lilly, Janssen, Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Ono Pharmaceutical, Sanofi, and UCB Japan., Motomu Hashimoto Grant/research support from: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Eisai, and Eli Lilly and Company., Speakers bureau: Bristol-Myers Squibb and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma., Wataru Yamamoto: None declared, Kosaku Murakami Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Eisai, and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma., Takuya Kotani: None declared, Kenichiro Hata: None declared, Yonsu Son: None declared, Hideki Amuro: None declared, Akira Onishi Speakers bureau: AO received a speaker fee from Chugai, Ono Pharmaceutical, Eli Lilly, Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Asahi-Kasei, and Takeda, Jinno Sadao: None declared, Masaki Katayama: None declared, Atsushi Kumanogoh Grant/research support from: AK received a research grant and/or speaker fee from Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Chugai, Eisai, Asahi-Kasei, Astellas, Abbvie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Ono Pharmaceutical, and Pfizer, Speakers bureau: AK received a research grant and/or speaker fee from Mitsubishi-Tanabe, Chugai, Eisai, Asahi-Kasei, Astellas, Abbvie, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Ono Pharmaceutical, and Pfizer

Abstract
The pseudogap, d-wave superconductivity and electron-boson coupling are three intertwined key ingredients in the phase diagram of the cuprates. Sr_{2}IrO_{4} is a 5d-electron counterpart of the cuprates in which both the pseudogap and a d-wave instability have been observed. Here, we report spectroscopic evidence for the presence of the third key player in electron-doped Sr_{2}IrO_{4}: electron-boson coupling. A kink in nodal dispersion is observed with an energy scale of ∼50 meV. The strength of the kink changes with doping, but the energy scale remains the same. These results provide the first noncuprate platform for exploring the relationship between the pseudogap, d-wave instability, and electron-boson coupling in doped Mott insulators.

Abstract
The isovalent-substituted iron pnictide compound SrFe2(As1−xPx)2 exhibits multiple evidence for nodal superconductivity via various experimental probes, such as the penetration depth, nuclear magnetic resonance and specific heat measurements. The direct identification of the nodal superconducting (SC) gap structure is challenging, partly because the presence of nodes is not protected by symmetry but instead caused by an accidental sign change of the order parameter, and also because of the three-dimensionality of the electronic structure. We have studied the SC gaps of SrFe2(As0.65P0.35)2 in three-dimensional momentum space by synchrotron and laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The three hole Fermi surfaces (FSs) at the zone center have SC gaps with different magnitudes, whereas the SC gaps of the electron FSs at the zone corner are almost isotropic and kz-independent. As a possible nodal SC gap structure, we propose that the SC gap of the outer hole FS changes sign around the Z-X [(0, 0, 2π) − (π, π, 2π)] direction.

Abstract
To identify the risk factors for destruction of large joints in the lower extremities in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) during a 4-year follow-up period in a prospective study.We enrolled consecutive patients who participated in both 2012 and 2016. Clinical data, disease activity, and types of medication were collected in 2012. Standard anteroposterior radiographs of weight-bearing joints (hips, knees, and ankles) were taken in 2012 and 2016. Radiographic progression was defined as progression in the Larsen grade or the need for joint arthroplasty or arthrodesis. The association between baseline characteristics and the incidence of radiographic progression was statistically assessed.A total of 213 patient were enrolled, and, after exclusion, 186 patients were analyzed. Sixty 9 patients (37.1%) showed radiographic progression in 1 of the large joints in the lower extremities. Multivariate regression analysis showed that radiographic progression was associated with older age, higher disease activity, and the presence of radiographic destruction at the baseline. The lower dosage of oral prednisolone was a significant risk factor compared with higher dosage when used.Patients with the risk factors should be followed closely to limit the progression of large joint destruction in the lower extremities.

Abstract
The momentum dependence of the nematic order parameter is an important ingredient in the microscopic description of iron-based high-temperature superconductors. While recent reports on FeSe indicate that the nematic order parameter changes sign between electron and hole bands, detailed knowledge is still missing for other compounds. Combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with uniaxial strain tuning, we measure the nematic band splitting in both FeSe and BaFe_{2}As_{2} without interference from either twinning or magnetic order. We find that the nematic order parameter exhibits the same momentum dependence in both compounds with a sign change between the Brillouin center and the corner. This suggests that the same microscopic mechanism drives the nematic order in spite of the very different phase diagrams.

Abstract
Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is known to cause secondary osteoporosis and fragility fractures. This study aimed to identify biomarkers predictive of bone mineral density (BMD) change at three anatomical sites in patients with RA. Methods We conducted a prospective longitudinal study in patients with RA. In 2012, we recruited 379 patients from an RA cohort, 329 of whom underwent evaluation of blood and urine biomarkers together with measurement of BMD in the lumbar spine, proximal femur, and distal forearm. The BMD in these three regions was reassessed in 2014. We performed multivariate linear regression analysis to identify those factors associated with BMD change. Results The averages of age, body mass index, and disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28) at baseline were 63.2 (minimum to maximum, 32–85), 21.3 (12.3–30.0), and 3.2 (0.1–5.9), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the annual BMD change was significantly associated with the use of steroid, bisphosphonate (BP) or vitamin D (VitD), and serum homocysteine in the lumber spine; DAS28, the use of BP or VitD, CRP, and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA) in the proximal femur; and the dosage of MTX, the use of BP or VitD, and serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b) in the distal forearm, respectively. Conclusions Predictive biomarkers for BMD change in RA patients differ at each anatomical site. Practitioners should treat each anatomical site with different markers and prescribe osteoporosis drugs to prevent fractures for RA patients.

Abstract
Background Determining the appropriate gross tumor volume is important for irradiation planning in addition to palliative radiation for bone metastases. While irradiation planning is commonly performed using simulation computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone scintigraphy, and 18fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography-CT (18FDG-PET-CT) are more sensitive for detecting bone metastasis and invasion areas. Therefore, this study evaluated whether pretreatment imaging modalities influenced the response to palliative radiation therapy (i.e., the irradiation effect) for painful bone metastases from solid malignant carcinomas. Methods Consecutive patients with painful bone metastases treated with palliative radiation between January 2013 and December 2017 at our institution were included. We retrospectively investigated the pretreatment images from the different imaging modalities (CT, MRI, bone scintigraphy, and 18FDG-PET-CT) obtained between 1 month before and the initiation of palliative radiation and determined the primary site of carcinoma, histological type, metastatic lesion type (osteolytic, osteoblastic, or mixed), pathological fracture, and metastatic site (vertebral or not). We then evaluated the relationship between these factors and treatment response. We defined “response” as the condition in which patients achieved pain relief or reduced the use of painkiller medicines. Results In total, 131 patients (78 men and 53 women) were included; the median age was 66 years (range, 24–89 years). Prescribed doses were 8–50 Gy/1–25 fractions with 2–8 Gy/fraction. Among the 131 patients, 105 were responders (response rate, 80%). The imaging modalities performed before irradiation were CT in 131 patients, MRI in 54, bone scintigraphy in 56, and 18FDG-PET-CT in 14. The Welch t-test and chi-square test showed no significant association between treatment response and each factor. Multiple logistic regression analysis including the imaging modality, metastatic site, and pathological fracture also showed no significant association with each factor. Conclusions There was no significant relationship between the type of pretreatment imaging and treatment response for painful bone metastases. Thus, setting the appropriate radiation field according to CT images and clinical findings could help avoiding further image inspection before palliative radiation for painful bone metastases.

Abstract
We study the microscopic origins of photocurrent generation in the topological insulator Bi_{2}Se_{3} via time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We image the unoccupied band structure as it evolves following a circularly polarized optical excitation and observe an asymmetric electron population in momentum space, which is the spectroscopic signature of a photocurrent. By analyzing the rise times of the population we identify which occupied and unoccupied electronic states are coupled by the optical excitation. We conclude that photocurrents can only be excited via resonant optical transitions coupling to spin-orbital textured states. Our work provides a microscopic understanding of how to control photocurrents in systems with spin-orbit coupling and broken inversion symmetry.

Abstract
Low-grade inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, and apathy as a form of vascular depression. We analyzed the brain magnetic resonance imaging findings in 259 community-dwelling older adults (122 men and 137 women, with a mean age of 68.4 years). The serum concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were measured by a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the log10 hsCRP value and the presence of a metabolic syndrome were independently associated with confluent but not punctate deep white matter lesions (DWMLs). Path analysis based on structural equation modeling (SEM) indicated that the direct path from the log10 hsCRP to the DWMLs was significant (β = 0.119, p = 0.039). The direct paths from the metabolic syndrome to the log10 hsCRP and to the DWMLs were also significant. The direct path from the DWMLs to apathy (β = −0.165, p = 0.007) was significant, but the direct path from the log10 hsCRP to apathy was not significant. Inflammation (i.e., elevated serum hsCRP levels) was associated with DWMLs independent of common vascular risk factors, while DWMLs were associated with apathy. The present analysis with SEM revealed the more realistic scheme that low-grade inflammation was associated with apathy indirectly via DWMLs in community-dwelling older adults.

Abstract
Background:
Low-grade inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of small vessel disease of the brain. Furthermore, systemic inflammation has been associated with apathy. Because our previous study showed the association between deep white matter lesions (DWMLs) and apathy, we investigated the association between inflammation, DWMLs, and apathy.
Methods:
We analyzed the brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in 259 community-dwelling adults (122 men and 137 women) with a mean age of 64.8 years. Serum concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured by a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with a sensitivity of 22 ng/L. Each item of the Starkstein apathy scale was quantified on a visual analogue scale. The association between silent brain lesions and CRP was tested using the forward stepwise method of logistic regression analysis. We used structural equation modeling (SEM) to test the contribution of inflammation and silent brain lesions to the apathetic behavior.
Results:
Although CRP level distribution was highly skewed (median: 0.589 mg/L, interquartile range: 0.292-1.326 mg/L), log-transformed CRP values (log10 CRP) were normally distributed. Medium to high tertiles of CRP were associated with metabolic syndrome. Logistic regression analysis revealed that log10 CRP (odds ratio [OR]: 2.90; 95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 1.25-6.71) was independently associated with confluent but not total DWMLs. Metabolic syndrome and age were also associated with confluent DWMLs. Path analysis based on SEM indicated that the direct path from log10 CRP to DWMLs was significant (β = 0.12, P = 0.039). The direct paths from metabolic syndrome to log10 CRP and to DWMLs were also significant. The direct path from DWMLs to apathy was significant (β = –0.17, P = 0.007) as was the direct path from education to apathy (β = 0.18, P = 0.003). However, the direct path from log10 CRP to apathy was not significant. The measures of model fitness showed that the presented model reasonably fit the data.
