Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 infects a variety of tissues, including the oral cavity. However, there are few reports examining the association of SARS-CoV-2 with tongue mucosal tissues with sticky tongue debris. This study investigated the presence of SARS-CoV-2 and its associated molecules by dissecting tongue tissue from autopsy specimens of 23 patients who died of COVID-19-related illness (pneumonia). Immunohistochemical staining, electron microscopy, and PCR analysis were performed on the tongue tissue specimens. The mucosal epithelium of the tongue formed a very thick keratinized with well-developed filiform papillae in all cases. ACE2 and TMPRSS2 were consistently co-expressed in all samples in the epithelium. The S-protein was strongly expressed in basal cells and the epithelial surface. S-protein-positive viral particles were detected in the tongue's stratified squamous epithelium via an immunoelectron microscope. Based on PCR amplification of the N1 and N2 regions, the SARS-CoV-2 gene was detected on the tongue epithelium, tongue submucosa, and in tongue debris. This suggests that tongue debris, including the squamous epithelial tissue, could be a source of SARS-CoV-2 in saliva. Furthermore, removing tongue debris may decrease the amount of SARS-CoV-2 in the oral cavity.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Patients with diabetes are more susceptible to upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) because they are easily infected. Salivary IgA (sali-IgA) levels play a major role in transmitting URTIs. Sali-IgA levels are determined by salivary gland IgA production and polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (poly-IgR) expression. However, it is unknown whether salivary gland IgA production and poly-IgR expression are decreased in patients with diabetes. While exercise is reported to increase or decrease the sali-IgA levels, it is unclear how exercise affects the salivary glands of patients with diabetes. This study aimed to determine the effects of diabetes and voluntary exercise on IgA production and poly-IgR expression in the salivary glands of diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: Ten spontaneously diabetic Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats (eight-week-old) were divided into two groups of five rats each: a non-exercise group (OLETF-C) and a voluntary wheel-running group (OLETF-E). Five Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats without diabetes were bred under the same conditions as the OLETF-C. Sixteen weeks after the study began, the submandibular glands (SGs) were collected and analyzed for IgA and poly-IgR expression levels. Results: IgA concentrations and poly-IgR expression levels in SGs were lower in OLETF-C and OLETF-E than in LETO (p < 0.05). These values did not differ between the OLETF-C and OLETF-E. Conclusions: Diabetes decreases IgA production and poly-IgR expression in the salivary glands of rats. Moreover, voluntary exercise increases sali-IgA levels but does not increase IgA production and poly-IgR expression in the salivary glands of diabetic rats. Increasing IgA production and poly-IgR expression in the salivary glands, which is reduced in diabetes, might require slightly higher-intensity exercise than voluntary exercise under the supervision of a doctor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is a rare stromal tumor with no standard treatment. However, some reports have revealed that follicular dendritic cell sarcoma has an inflammatory pseudotumor variant associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection that has a relatively good prognosis. In this report, we present a case of a resected inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma of the liver, and have reviewed the literature on the clinicopathological, molecular, and genomic features of this tumor. CASE PRESENTATION The inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma originates only in the liver or spleen, causes no symptoms, and is more common in middle-aged Asian women. It has no characteristic imaging features, which partially explains why the inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is difficult to diagnose. Pathologically, the inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma has spindle cells mixed with inflammatory cells and is variably positive for follicular dendritic cell markers (CD21, CD23, and CD35) and Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA. On genetic analysis, patients with this tumor high levels of latent membrane protein 1 gene expression and extremely low levels of host C-X-C Chemokine Receptor type 7 gene expression, indicating that the inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma has a latent Epstein-Barr virus type 2 infection. CONCLUSIONS The inflammatory pseudotumor variant of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma is an Epstein-Barr virus-associated tumor and a favorable prognosis by surgical resection, similar to Epstein-Barr virus-associated gastric cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac myosin–binding protein C (cMyC) is a cardiac-restricted protein that has more abundant, rapid release and clearance kinetics than cardiac troponin. The current ESC guideline suggests the cMyC may provide value as an alternative to cardiac troponin. The 99th percentile value is universally endorsed as the reference cut off to aid in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), however, none of the report of healthy population of cMyC.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of cMyC values in healthy subjects.
Methods
We used two cohorts in this retrospective study. 1) Healthy subjects; a total of 500 subjects (250 men and 250 women) who had annual health examinations in 2012 in the area of Kamigoto, a suburb of Nagasaki city in Southern Japan were enrolled. All participants showed none of abnormal findings including cell blood counts, chemical analysis, liver function tests, general urine tests, occult blood tests of stool, barium swallow, mammography for women, abdominal ultrasound sonography, and electrocardiogram. All blood samples were obtained in a fasting state in the morning. 2) Chest pain subjects; we collected samples from 250 subjects including 50 with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction visited admitted to a university hospital for measurement of high-sensitivity troponin T and coronary artery assessment by coronary angiography. We measured cMyC level in both cohorts by HISCL™-800 system (Sysmex corporation, Japan). The assay has a limit of detection of 0.5 ng/L and a lower limit of quantification of 1.3 ng/L.
Result
In healthy subjects, median age (IQR) was 44 (20, 82) in men and 50 (23, 91) in women. The 99th percentile of cMyC was 27.3 ng/L, which was around one-third lower than that in previous report (87 ng/L). In chest pain subjects, the concentrations of cMyC at presentation were significantly higher in those with versus without AMI (median, 66 ng/L versus 10 ng/L, P<0.001). Discriminatory power for AMI, as quantified by the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC), was comparable for cMyC (AUC, 0.85 (95% CI 0.79–0.91) and hs-cTnT (AUC, 0.81 (95% CI 0.76–0.88)).
Conclusion
We defined the normal range of cMyC in healthy Japanese subjects. The level of cMyC at presentation provides discriminatory power comparable to hs-cTnT in the diagnosis of AMI. To determine the physiological value of a biomarker may be necessary to evaluate enough information about their health status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Irritation fibroma in the oral cavity causes atrophy or squamous epithelium thickening with respect to external injury-associated factors. However, ulcers do not occur in most cases. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism by which ulcers do not form, focusing on the vascular network in the mucosal epithelium of irritation fibroma. METHODS Immunostaining was performed using an enzyme antibody method with primary antibodies against CD31 and Ki-67 in 17 cases of irritation fibroma in the buccal mucosa. One section was taken at three points from the margin and three points from just above the lesion for measurement. The number of blood vessels in the superficial and deep lamina propria at the measurement site were determined, and the area per blood vessel was measured. RESULTS The number and area of blood vessels in the superficial lamina propria just below the lesion epithelium were smaller than those in the margin. No difference was observed in the number and area of blood vessels in the deep lamina propria between the margins and lesions. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the vascular network in the deep lamina propria is maintained and compensates for the nutrient supply to the covering epithelium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder (ISWRD) is a common sleep disorder in individuals with Alzheimer's disease dementia (AD-D). OBJECTIVES This exploratory phase 2 proof-of-concept and dose-finding clinical trial evaluated the effects of lemborexant compared with placebo on circadian rhythm parameters, nighttime sleep, daytime wakefulness and other clinical measures of ISWRD in individuals with ISWRD and mild to moderate AD-D. DESIGN Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. SETTING Sites in the United States, Japan and the United Kingdom. PARTICIPANTS Men and women 60 to 90 years of age with documentation of diagnosis with AD-D and Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) score 10 to 26. INTERVENTION Subjects were randomized to placebo or one of four lemborexant treatment arms (2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg or 15 mg) once nightly at bedtime for 4 weeks. MEASUREMENTS An actigraph was used to collect subject rest-activity data, which were used to calculate sleep-related, wake-related and circadian rhythm-related parameters. These parameters included least active 5 hours (L5), relative amplitude of the rest-activity rhythm (RA) and mean duration of sleep bouts (MDSB) during the daytime. The MMSE and the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Subscale (ADAS-Cog) were used to assess for changes in cognitive function. RESULTS Sixty-two subjects were randomized and provided data for circadian, daytime and nighttime parameters (placebo, n = 12; lemborexant 2.5 mg [LEM2.5], n = 12; lemborexant 5 mg [LEM5], n = 13, lemborexant 10 mg [LEM10], n = 13 and lemborexant 15 mg [LEM15], n = 12). Mean L5 showed a decrease from baseline to week 4 for LEM2.5, LEM5 and LEM15 that was significantly greater than with placebo (all p < 0.05), suggesting a reduction in restlessness. For RA, LS mean change from baseline to week 4 versus placebo indicated greater distinction between night and day with all dose levels of lemborexant, with significant improvements seen with LEM5 and LEM15 compared with placebo (both p < 0.05). The median percentage change from baseline to week 4 in MDSB during the daytime indicated a numerical decrease in duration for LEM5, LEM10 and LEM15, which was significantly different from placebo for LEM5 and LEM15 (p < 0.01 and p = 0.002, respectively). There were no serious treatment-emergent adverse events or worsening of cognitive function, as assessed by the MMSE and ADAS-Cog. Lemborexant was well tolerated. No subjects discontinued treatment. CONCLUSIONS This study provides preliminary evidence of the potential utility of lemborexant as a treatment to address both nighttime and daytime symptoms in patients with ISWRD and AD-D.

Abstract
Diagnostic utility of a homeobox transcription factor, engrailed homeobox 1 (En1) in the histopathology of salivary gland neoplasms was studied. The expression of En1 was immunohistochemically examined in 51 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma (AdCC) and 143 cases of other salivary gland neoplasms. In all 51 AdCCs, En1 was expressed in 30-100% of tumor cells. In eight of nine polymorphous adenocarcinomas (PACs), En1 was expressed in 40-100% of tumor cells. Less than 5% of tumor cells expressed En1 in three of 12 epithelial-myoepithelial carcinomas, one of 17 basal cell adenomas (BCAs), and one of 34 pleomorphic adenomas (PAs). Among 55 other carcinoma cases, 1-30% of tumor cells expressed En1 in three salivary duct carcinomas (SDCs) ex PA. None of the myoepitheliomas and Warthin tumors expressed En1. When the cut-off value of the percentage of En1-expressing cells was set to 25%, all 51 AdCCs, eight of nine PACs and one SDC ex PA were En1-positive and the others were En1-negative. En1 is expressed consistently in AdCCs, frequently in PACs, but rarely in other salivary gland neoplasms. En1 is a possible diagnostic marker for AdCC and PAC in the histopathology of salivary gland neoplasms.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction; A rapid rule-out or rule-in protocol based on the 0-h/1-hour algorithm using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is recommended by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). Around 40–50% were stratified into “rule-out” group, and their 30-days prognosis was excellent. However, the one-year prognosis is uncertain. We aimed to better characterize these patients.
Methods
This study was a prospective, multi-center, observational study of patients with suspected non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) admitted to 5 hospitals in Japan and Taiwan from 2014 November to 2018 December, respectively.
All patients underwent a clinical assessment the included medical history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, standard blood test, chest radiography. Exclusion criteria were ST elevated myocardial infarction, chronic kidney disease (serum creatinine more than 3 mg/dL) and congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, or infection disease. The patients were divided into three groups according to the algorithm; “rule-out”, “observe” and “rule-in”. The final diagnosis was then adjudicated by 2 independent cardiologists using all available information, including coronary angiography, coronary computed tomography, stress electrocardiography and follow-up data. The presence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was defined according to the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction. After hospital discharge patients were follow after one-year b telephone or in written form. Major adverse cardiovascular events (including death myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass grafting, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)) were recorded by establishing contact with the patient and the family physicians. The primary prognosis end point was all-cause mortality.
Results
Of the 1,187 patients were analyzed after exclusion. The prevalence rate of AMI was 16.1%. According to the algorithm, 42% (n=493) of patients were assigned to “rule-out” group and had no AMI nor death. The most common final adjudicated diagnoses were atypical chest pain (80%), gallstone attack (3%) and vasospastic angina pectoris (2%). All patients with unstable angina (4.7%) underwent PCI.
Conclusion(s)
Our findings suggest that the “rule-out” group patients according to ESC 0-h/1-hour algorithm provides very high safety and efficacy for the triage toward AMI.

Abstract
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2), and furin, which promote entry of the virus into the host cell, have been identified as determinants of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Dorsal tongue and gingiva, saliva, and tongue coating samples were examined to determine the presence of these molecules in the oral cavity. Immunohistochemical analyses showed that ACE2 was expressed in the stratified squamous epithelium of the dorsal tongue and gingiva. TMPRSS2 was strongly expressed in stratified squamous epithelium in the keratinized surface layer and detected in the saliva and tongue coating samples via Western blot. Furin was localized mainly in the lower layer of stratified squamous epithelium and detected in the saliva but not tongue coating. ACE2, TMPRSS2, and furin mRNA expression was observed in taste bud-derived cultured cells, which was similar to the immunofluorescence observations. These data showed that essential molecules for SARS-CoV-2 infection were abundant in the oral cavity. However, the database analysis showed that saliva also contains many protease inhibitors. Therefore, although the oral cavity may be the entry route for SARS-CoV-2, other factors including protease inhibitors in the saliva that inhibit viral entry should be considered.

Abstract
Salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) plays a vital role in preventing upper respiratory tract infections (URTI). In our previous study, we showed that the intake of carbohydrates increases the intestinal levels of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which in turn increase salivary IgA levels. However, the mechanism underlying this phenomenon has not been fully elucidated. In this study, we investigated in rats the effect of polydextrose (PDX) ingestion on salivary IgA level and SCFA concentration in cecal digesta and the portal vein. Five-week-old rats were fed with a fiber-free diet (control) or with 40 g/kg of PDX for 28 days. Compared to the control, ingestion of PDX led to a higher salivary IgA flow rate (p = 0.0013) and a higher concentration of SCFAs in the portal vein (p = 0.004). These two data were positively correlated (rs = 0.88, p = 0.0002, n = 12). In contrast, the concentration of SCFAs in cecal digesta and cecal digesta viscosity were significantly lower following PDX ingestion, compared to the control (p = 0.008 and 0.05, respectively). These findings suggest that the ingestion of PDX increases the absorption rate of SCFAs in the intestine through PDX-induced fermentation, which is accompanied by an increase in SCFA levels in the blood, and ultimately leads to increased salivary IgA levels.

Abstract
Introduction
Lemborexant (LEM), a dual orexin receptor antagonist, demonstrated significant benefits vs placebo on patient-reported sleep outcomes in adults age ≥18y in SUNRISE-2 (NCT02952820; E2006-G000-303). The impact of intrinsic factors (sex, race, and region) on LEM efficacy outcomes was assessed.
Methods
SUNRISE-2 was a randomized, double-blind, global phase 3 study in adults age ≥18y with insomnia disorder (Full Analysis Set, n=949). Subjects received placebo (n=318) or LEM (5mg [LEM5], n=316; 10mg [LEM10]; n=315) for 6 months. At 6 months, placebo subjects were rerandomized to LEM for another 6 months (not reported here); LEM subjects remained on their assigned dose. Sleep diary-based (subjective) sleep onset latency (sSOL) and wake after sleep onset (sWASO) were assessed for prespecified patient subgroups including: sex (male [n=302], female [n=647]), race (white [n=679], black [n=76], Asian [n=178]), and region (North America [n=302], Europe/New Zealand [n=483], Asia [n=164]). Analyses were not controlled for multiplicity.
Results
LEM5 and LEM10 provided numerically greater median reductions (improvement) from baseline in sSOL vs placebo at 6 months in across all subgroups examined. Also, LEM5 and LEM10 led to mean reductions (improvement) from baseline at 6 months in sWASO for all subgroups. While several subgroups had small numbers of subjects, changes from baseline in sSOL and sWASO were in the direction of improvement in the majority of subgroups. Pharmacokinetic analyses showed no important differences in exposure by these factors.
Conclusion
LEM treatment demonstrated efficacy in improving sSOL and sWASO across patient subgroups, supporting common dosing instructions for both sexes and all races.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
In SUNRISE-2 (NCT02952820; E2006-G000-303), the dual orexin receptor antagonist lemborexant (LEM) demonstrated significant benefit versus placebo (PBO) on subjective sleep endpoints over 6mo in subjects age ≥18y; benefits were sustained over 12mo. Here we present 12mo efficacy and safety data for LEM from the elderly (≥65y) subgroup.
Methods
SUNRISE-2 was a 12mo, randomized, double-blind, PBO-controlled (first 6mo [Period 1]), global phase 3 study. During Period 1, subjects were randomized to PBO or LEM (5mg, [LEM5]; 10mg, [LEM10]). During Period 2 (second 6mo), LEM subjects continued their assigned dose while PBO subjects were rerandomized to LEM5 or LEM10 (not reported here). Patient-reported (subjective) sleep endpoints were assessed from sleep diary data (sleep onset latency [sSOL]; sleep efficiency [sSE]; wake after sleep onset [sWASO]).
Results
Of the 949 subjects in the Full Analysis Set, 262 were age ≥65y. At 6mo, in subjects ≥65y, median sSOL significantly decreased from baseline for LEM5 (−21.7) and LEM10 (−26.0) versus PBO (−10.8; P<0.0001, P<0.01, respectively). At 12mo, LEM5 and LEM10 subjects maintained decreases in median sSOL (−29.3, −34.3, respectively). At 6mo, the mean (SD) increase from baseline in sSE was significantly larger versus PBO (8.5[13.3]) for LEM5 (16.9[13.6]; P<0.001) and LEM10 (14.9[15.9]; P<0.01). At 12mo, mean (SD) increase in sSE was maintained for LEM5 (18.1[12.5]) and LEM10 (18.0[16.8]). At 6mo, mean (SD) change from baseline in sWASO was significantly decreased versus PBO (−26.5 [52.9]) for LEM5 and LEM10 (−54.8[64.4], P<0.01; −51.4[69.3], P<0.05, respectively). At 12mo, mean (SD) decrease in sWASO was maintained for LEM5 (−58.6[46.0]) and LEM10 (−60.9[80.4]). Over 12mo, the most common (>10% either group) treatment emergent adverse events with LEM5 and LEM10, respectively, were somnolence (9.3%, 19.0%), nasopharyngitis (9.3%, 10.7%), and headache (10.5%, 6.0%).
Conclusion
In elderly subjects, LEM demonstrated efficacy at 6mo, which persisted at 12mo; LEM was well tolerated.

Abstract
Introduction
In SUNRISE-2 (NCT02952820; E2006-G000-303), while lemborexant (LEM) provided significant benefit versus placebo (PBO) on sleep-diary measurements over 6mo, some improvement was noted in PBO subjects. We report outcomes from PBO subjects rerandomized to LEM during the last 6mo of SUNRISE-2.
Methods
SUNRISE-2 was a randomized, double-blind, global phase 3 study in adults (≥18y) with insomnia disorder. Subjects received PBO or LEM (5mg [LEM5]; 10mg [LEM10]) for 6mo. PBO subjects were rerandomized to LEM for another 6mo; LEM subjects continued assigned treatment. Changes from 6mo baseline (calculated after PBO completion) in subjective sleep onset latency (sSOL), subjective sleep efficiency (sSE), and subjective wake after sleep onset (sWASO) are reported for rerandomized subjects.
Results
At study baseline for PBO subjects (n=318), median sSOL (min) was 55.9, mean (SD) sSE (%) and sWASO (min) were 61.3 (17.8) and 132.5 (80.2), respectively. The 6mo baseline values for rerandomized PBO-LEM5 (n=133) and PBO-LEM10 (n=125) subjects, respectively, were: median sSOL, 31.2, 34.3; mean (SD) sSE, 70.5 (20.2), 71.1 (18.0); mean (SD) sWASO, 105.1 (80.6), 100.1 (84.6). Median sSOL decreased from the 6mo baseline after 1mo (PBO-LEM5, −3.2; PBO-LEM10, −2.9) and 6mo (PBO-LEM5, −2.7; PBO-LEM10, −5.0). Mean (SD) sSE increased from the 6mo baseline after 1mo (PBO-LEM5, 3.9 [12.1]; PBO-LEM10, 3.5 [8.1]) and 6mo (PBO-LEM5, 3.9 [13.6]; PBO-LEM10, 4.5 [13.0]). Mean (SD) sWASO decreased after 1mo (PBO-LEM5, −8.5 [49.4]; PBO-LEM10, −5.7 [36.1]) and 6mo (PBO-LEM5, −8.2 [49.0]; PBO-LEM10, −10.0 [58.8]). Treatment-emergent adverse events incidence was similar during PBO (62.7%) and LEM treatment (PBO-LEM5, 54.9%; PBO-LEM10, 57.7%). Adverse events were consistent with those seen in the initial 6mo of treatment for patients originally randomized to LEM.
Conclusion
Rerandomization to LEM was associated with additional improvement in sleep outcomes following the PBO-related response. LEM benefit was evident after 1mo and was sustained throughout treatment. LEM was well tolerated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fibrous reactive hyperplasia (FRH) is a common fibrous lesion in the oral cavity. The disease characteristics of FRH, including the expression patterns of CD34, which is a well-known fibroblast marker, have not been investigated in detail. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the characteristics of FRH compared to those of the healthy mucosa, based on CD34 expression profiles. METHODS CD34 expression was analyzed at the protein and mRNA levels using immunohistochemistry, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, and in situ hybridization (ISH). RESULTS CD34 was not expressed in the lamina propria of the oral mucosa, but was commonly observed in submucosal fibroblasts. CD34-positive fibroblasts were commonly observed in FRH. A total of 17 out of 19 cases (89.5%) were CD34-positive. Furthermore, we identified a significant difference in the ratio of CD34-positive cells between the healthy and FRH tissues. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that CD34 mRNA was expressed in all cases of FRH, and CD34 mRNA expression in FRH samples was found to be localized to spindle-shaped fibroblasts, as determined by ISH. A positive correlation was also found between the CD34 mRNA levels and the proportion of the CD34-positive cells. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the increase in collagen synthesis in CD34-positive fibroblasts in the submucosa leads to the development of FRH. To our knowledge, this is the first report confirming the mRNA expression patterns of CD34 in FRH.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The European Society Cardiology guidelines recommend that a 0-hour/1-hour (0–1hr) algorithm using high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) improves the early triage of patients with suspected non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). However, diagnostic uncertainty remains in the 25–30% of patients assigned to “observe” group.
Purpose
To establish a step wise risk score system using HEART score and 0-hour/1-hour algorithm to identify the low risk group from observation group.
Methods
This study was a prospective, multi-center, observational study of patients with suspected NSTE-ACS admitted to five hospitals in Japan and Taiwan from 2014 to 2018, respectively. We applied the algorithm and calculated HEART score simultaneously. Patients were divided into three groups according to the algorithm: hs-cTnT below 12 ng/L and delta 1 hour below 3 ng/L were the “rule out” group; hs-cTnT at least 52 ng/L or delta 1 hour at least 5 ng/L were in the “rule in” group; the remaining patients were classified as the “observe” group. All patients underwent a clinical assessment the included medical history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, continuous ECG monitoring, pulse oximetry, standard blood test, chest radiography, cardiac and abdominal ultrasonography. Patients presenting with congestive heart failure, terminal kidney disease on hemodialysis state, arrhythmia, or infection disease (which causes to increase troponin level) were excluded. Thirty-day MACE was defined as acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina (UA), or death.
Results
Of the 1,332 patients enrolled, 933 patients were analyzed after exclusion. NSTE-ACS was the final diagnosis for 122 (13.1%) patients and none of death. The HEART score less than 4 points in observation groups identified as very low risk with a negative predictive value (NPV) of 98.1% (95% confidential interval (CI); 90.1%-100%) and sensitivity of 98.0% (95% CI; 89.6%-100%). There were only one patient (0.5%) with AMI. In case of the HEART score less than 5 points, it could also identify as very low risk with a NPV of 96.7% (95% CI; 90.8%-99.3%%) and sensitivity of 94.1% (95% CI; 83.8%-98.8%). There were only three patients (1.2%) with AMI.
Conclusion
A combination of HEART score and the 0-hour/1-hour algorithm strategy rapidly identified the patient in observation group of 30-day MACE including UA where nor further cardiac testing would be needed.

Abstract
Background/Introduction
Implementation of the 2015 ESC 0-hour/1-hour algorithm using high-sensitivity troponin (hs-cTn) T in Asian countries presents a challenge for clinical practice.
Purpose
We aimed to prospectively validate the 0-hour/1-hour algorithm in Asian countries.
Methods
We conducted a prospective, multi-center, international cohort already utilizing 0-hour/1-hour algorithm using hs-cTnT for evaluation of patients with suspected of non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). All patients underwent a clinical assessment the included medical history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, continuous ECG monitoring, pulse oximetry, standard blood test, chest radiography, cardiac and abdominal ultrasonography. Patients presenting with congestive heart failure, terminal kidney disease on hemodialysis state, arrhythmia, or infection disease (which cause to increase troponin level) were excluded. Patients were divided into three groups according to the algorithm: hs-cTnT below 12 ng/L and delta 1 hour below 3 ng/L were the “rule out” group; hs-cTnT at least 52 ng/L or delta 1 hour at least 5 ng/L were in the “rule in” group; the remaining patients were classified as the “observational” group. The final diagnosis was then adjudicated by 2 independent cardiologists using all available information, including coronary angiography, coronary computed tomography, stress electrocardiography and follow-up data. The presence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was defined according to the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction.
Results
Of the 1,332 patients enrolled in 2014 to 2018, 933 patients were analyzed after exclusion. AMI was the final diagnosis for 122 (13.1%) patients. The algorithm ruled out AMI in 401 patients with a negative predictive value and sensitivity of 100% (95% confidential interval [CI], 98.6%-100%) and 100% (95% CI, 94.0%-100%), respectively, in the rule-out group. None of the patients were diagnosed with AMI. Among the 211 patients classified into the rule-in group, 90 were diagnosed as having AMI. The positive predictive value and specificity were 43.1% (95% CI, 36.2%-50.2%) and 78.3% (95% CI, 74.5%-81.7%), respectively. The median length of hospital stay was 159 min (142–180) in rule out group.
Conclusion(s)
Our findings suggest that the 0-hour/1-hour algorithm using hs-cTnT provides very high safety and efficacy for the triage toward rapid rule-out to rule-in of AMI.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to clarify the influence of consuming yogurt fermented with Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus OLL1073R-1 (1073R-1-yogurt) on influenza virus-bound salivary immunoglobulin A (IgA) levels, in the elderly residents of nursing homes. Methods: A double-blind, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial was conducted with 96 elderly volunteers residing in 2 nursing homes. During the trial, participants consumed 100 g of 1073R-1-yogurt every morning for 12 weeks, whereas the control participants consumed yogurt fermented with a different Lactobacillus strain (control yogurt). Saliva was collected before the trial and after 4, 8 and 12 weeks of yogurt ingestion. Results: Our data indicated that consumption of 1073R-1-yogurt affected influenza A virus subtype H3N2-bound IgA levels in saliva (p = .001). In addition, saliva flow rate and total IgA levels increased in response to the yogurt intake period in both the 1073R-1 and control yogurt groups (p = .04). Conclusions: Our study suggests that continuous daily ingestion of 1073R-1-yogurt may help prevent infection with influenza A virus subtype H3N2 in elderly subjects with weakened immunity, by increasing the production of influenza A virus subtype of H3N2-bound salivary IgA.

Abstract
A DEAE-dextran-MMA copolymer (DDMC)-paclitaxel (PTX) conjugate was prepared using PTX as the guest and DDMC as the host. The resistance of B16F10 melanoma cells to PTX was confirmed, while the DDMC-PTX conjugate showed excellent anticancer activity that followed the Hill equation. The robustness in the tumor microenvironment of the allosteric system was confirmed via BIBO stability. This feedback control system, explained via a transfer function, was very stable and showed the sustainability of the system via a loop, and it showed superior anti-cancer activity without drug resistance from cancer cells. The block diagram of this signal system in the tumor microenvironment used its loop transfer function G(s) and the dN(s) of the external force. This indicial response is an ideal one without a time lag for the outlet response. The cell death rate of DDMC-PTX is more dependent on the Hill coefficient n than on the Michaelis constant Km. This means that this supermolecular reaction with tubulin follows an "induced fit model".

Abstract
Immunoglobulin A (IgA), which plays an important role in infection defense, is upregulated in the large intestine and oral cavity through dietary fiber intake. However, the mechanism underlying salivary IgA increase through dietary fiber intake remains unknown. This study investigated time-dependent effects of non-absorbable polydextrose (PDX) and lactitol intake on salivary IgA secretion and cecal fermentation. Five-week-old rats were fed a fiber-free diet with or without 25 g/kg PDX and 25 g/kg lactitol for 1, 4, and 8 weeks. Compared to control, those who ingested PDX and lactitol had higher salivary IgA flow rates per weight of submandibular gland tissue at 4 and 8 weeks (P < 0.05), greater cecal weight and digesta at 1, 4, and 8 weeks (P < 0.05), and lower concentrations of short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in cecal digesta (P = 0.0003). These findings suggest that the consumption of PDX and lactitol may upregulate salivary IgA secretion possibly by stimulating absorption of SCFAs produced by cecal fermentation. Thus, continuous ingestion of PDX and lactitol for up to 4 weeks could increase salivary IgA and promote immune defense against pathogen invasion through the oral route.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ethnic diversity between different populations may affect treatment safety and efficacy. AIMS AND METHODS A subanalysis to a global trial (study 326) was carried out to ascertain the safety and efficacy of donepezil 23 mg/day compared with donepezil 10 mg/day in Asian patients with moderate-to-severe Alzheimer's disease. Changes in cognition and global functioning were measured by the Severe Impairment Battery (SIB) and Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change Plus Caregiver Input (CIBIC-Plus), respectively, at week 24. RESULTS Cognitive improvement measured by SIB score was greater with donepezil 23 mg than with donepezil 10 mg (+1.36 vs -1.56]; difference, 2.92). There was no difference between the groups in global function measured by the CIBIC-Plus (3.94 and 3.95, respectively). Overall, 119 patients (82.1%) receiving donepezil 23 mg and 56 (71.8%) receiving donepezil 10 mg experienced ≥1 treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs). In the donepezil 23 mg group, the incidence of TEAEs was higher among patients of lower weight (<55 kg) at baseline than in those of higher weight (64 of 75 patients [85.3%] vs 55 of 70 patients [78.5%]). CONCLUSIONS The benefits and risks associated with donepezil 23 mg in Asian patients are comparable to those of the global study population.

Abstract
Background. In recent years, pathophysiology of aortic stenosis (AS) has been considered as a possibly active inflammatory process, but its determinants remain unclear. Calcium tissue deposition observed in dilaysis patients have been linked to low level of Fetuin-A, a powerful inhibitor of ectopic calcification. It is thus suspected to play a role in development of aortic stenosis. Purpose. To assess correlation between Fetuin-A level and AS progression in a prospective cohort of AS patients, COFRASA (clinicalTrial.gov_number_NCT00338676) and GENERAC (clinicalTrial.gov_number_NCT00647088). Methods. A comprehensive clinical evaluation and Fetuin-A plasma level measurement was performed at baseline. AS severity was evaluated at baseline and yearly thereafter using echocardiography (mean pressure gradient (MPG)) and computed tomography (degree of aortic valve calcification or AVC). Annual progression was calculated as [(final measurement - baseline measurement)/follow-up duration] for both MPG and AVC measurements. Results. We enrolled 296 patients with at least 1 year of follow-up. Mean age was 74±10 years, 217 (73%) were men. Mean Fetuin-A level was 0.55±0.15 g/L. After a mean follow-up of 3.0±1.7 years, no correlation was found between AS progression and Fetuin-A level, using either MPG (r=0.015, p=0.82) or AVC (r=0.014, p=0.82). This was also true when comparing patients with lower level of Fetuin-A (≤0.53 g/L, the median in our cohort) with patients with higher level(+3±5 mmHg/year (median 2, [0-5] vs +4±4 mmHg/year (median 2, [1-6]) p=0.06, and +205±290 AUC/year (median 122, [32-269]) vs +240±310 AUC/year (median 145, [50-313], p=0.24). This was true also after adjustment for baseline severity and valve antomy. Conclusions. In our prospective cohortot of AS patients we found no impact of Fetuin-A on both hemodynamic and anatomic AS progression. Despite strong capacity to inhibit ectopic calcium deposition, Fetuin-A plasma level seems to have minor influence on AS progression.

Abstract
Deliberation between possible options before making a decision is crucial to responding with an optimal choice. However, the neural mechanisms regulating this deliberative decision-making process are still unclear. Recent studies have proposed that the locus coeruleus-noradrenaline (LC-NA) system plays a role in attention, behavioral flexibility, and exploration, which contribute to the search for an optimal choice under uncertain situations. In the present study, we examined whether the LC-NA system relates to the deliberative process in a T-maze spatial decision-making task in rats. To quantify deliberation in rats, we recorded vicarious trial-and-error behavior (VTE), which is considered to reflect a deliberative process exploring optimal choices. In experiment 1, we manipulated the difficulty of choice by varying the amount of reward pellets between the two maze arms (0 vs. 4, 1 vs. 3, 2 vs. 2). A difficulty-dependent increase in VTE was accompanied by a reduction of choice bias toward the high reward arm and an increase in time required to select one of the two arms in the more difficult manipulation. In addition, the increase of c-Fos-positive NA neurons in the LC depended on the task difficulty and the amount of c-Fos expression in LC-NA neurons positively correlated with the occurrence of VTE. In experiment 2, we inhibited LC-NA activity by injection of clonidine, an agonist of the alpha2 autoreceptor, during a decision-making task (1 vs. 3). The clonidine injection suppressed occurrence of VTE in the early phase of the task and subsequently impaired a valuable choice later in the task. These results suggest that the LC-NA system regulates the deliberative process during decision-making.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Epidemiological studies have revealed that obesity and diabetes mellitus are independent risk factors for the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the debate continues on whether insulin resistance as such is directly associated with NASH and liver tumourigenesis. Here, we investigated the incidence of NASH and liver tumourigenesis in Irs1 ( -/- ) mice subjected to a long-term high-fat (HF) diet. Our hypothesis was that hepatic steatosis, rather than insulin resistance may be related to the pathophysiology of these conditions. METHODS Mice (8 weeks old, C57Bl/6J) were given free access to standard chow (SC) or an HF diet. The development of NASH and liver tumourigenesis was evaluated after mice had been on the above-mentioned diets for 60 weeks. Similarly, Irs1 ( -/- ) mice were also subjected to an HF diet for 60 weeks. RESULTS Long-term HF diet loading, which causes obesity and insulin resistance, was sufficient to induce NASH and liver tumourigenesis in the C57Bl/6J mice. Obesity and insulin resistance were reduced by switching mice from the HF diet to SC, which also protected these mice against the development of NASH and liver tumourigenesis. However, compared with wild-type mice fed the HF diet, Irs1 ( -/- ) mice fed the HF diet were dramatically protected against NASH and liver tumourigenesis despite the presence of severe insulin resistance and marked postprandial hyperglycaemia. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION IRS-1 inhibition might protect against HF diet-induced NASH and liver tumourigenesis, despite the presence of insulin resistance.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Insufficient insulin secretion and reduced pancreatic beta cell mass are hallmarks of type 2 diabetes. Here, we focused on a family of serine-threonine kinases known as homeodomain-interacting protein kinases (HIPKs). HIPKs are implicated in the modulation of Wnt signalling, which plays a crucial role in transcriptional activity, and in pancreas development and maintenance. The aim of the present study was to characterise the role of HIPKs in glucose metabolism. METHODS We used RNA interference to characterise the role of HIPKs in regulating insulin secretion and transcription activity. We conducted RT-PCR and western blot analyses to analyse the expression and abundance of HIPK genes and proteins in the islets of high-fat diet-fed mice. Glucose-induced insulin secretion and beta cell proliferation were measured in islets from Hipk3 ( -/- ) mice, which have impaired glucose tolerance owing to an insulin secretion deficiency. The abundance of pancreatic duodenal homeobox (PDX)-1 and glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)-3β phosphorylation in Hipk3 ( -/- ) islets was determined by immunohistology and western blot analyses. RESULTS We found that HIPKs regulate insulin secretion and transcription activity. Hipk3 expression was most significantly increased in the islets of high-fat diet-fed mice. Furthermore, glucose-induced insulin secretion and beta cell proliferation were decreased in the islets of Hipk3 ( -/- ) mice. Levels of PDX1 and GSK-3β phosphorylation were significantly decreased in Hipk3 ( -/- ) islets. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Depletion of HIPK3 impairs insulin secretion and glucose tolerance. Decreased levels of HIPK3 may play a substantial role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
We report on a human small cell lung cancer subline (H69/OA100) resistant to okadaic acid, an inhibitor of protein phosphatases. H69/OA100 showed cross-resistance to cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) (CDDP), adriamycin, and vinca alkaloids. Intracellular retention of adriamycin and CDDP in H69/OA100 was the same as those in H69. H69/OA100 was not shown to express MDR-1 by the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method. Expression level of mRNA of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) in H69/OA100 was the same as that in H69. These data suggest that the mechanism of drug resistance in H69/OA100 might be due to a new mechanism of non-P-glycoprotein mediated multidrug resistance.

Abstract
Background Burkholderia cepacia strains have been known to possess the capability to cause serious infections especially in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and their multi-drug resistances become a severe threat in hospital settings. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the B. cepacia complex infections in the NICU in Nagano Children's Hospital, Azumino 399-8288, Japan, and to report the intervention leading to the successful cessation of the outbreak. Methodology The incidence of isolation and antimicrobial susceptibilities of nosocomial Burkholderia cepacia complex strains during a four-year period were retrospectively examined by clinical microbiological records, and by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analyses along with the bacteriological verification of disinfectant device itself and procedures for its maintenance routinely used in the NICU. Results During the period surveyed between 2007 and 2009, only an isolate per respective year of B. cepacia complex was recovered from each neonate in the NICU. However, in 2010, the successive 6 B. cepacia complex isolates were recovered from different hospitalized neonates. Among them, an isolate was originated from peripheral blood of a neonate, apparently giving rise to systemic infection. In addition, the hospitalized neonate with bacteremia due to B. cepacia complex also exhibited positive cultures from repeated catheterized urine samples together with tracheal aspirate secretions. However other 5 isolates were considered as the transients or contaminants having little to do with infections. Moreover, the 5 isolates between July and October in 2010 revealed completely the same electrophoresis patterns by means of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analyses, strongly indicating that they were infected through the same medical practices, or by transmission of the same contaminant. Conclusions A small outbreak due to B. cepacia complex was brought about in the NICU in 2010, which appeared to be associated with the same genomovar of B. cepacia complex. The source or the rout of infection was unknown in spite of the repeated epidemiological investigation. It is noteworthy that no outbreak due to B. cepacia complex was noted in the NICU after extensive surveillance intervention.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS We investigated changes in the expression of genes involved in beta cell function and proliferation in mouse islets stimulated with glucokinase activator (GKA) in order to elucidate the mechanisms by which GKA stimulates beta cell function and proliferation. METHODS Islets isolated from mice were used to investigate changes in the expression of genes related to beta cell function and proliferation stimulated by GKA. In addition, Irs2 knockout (Irs2 (-/-)) mice on a high-fat diet or a high-fat diet containing GKA were used to investigate the effects of GKA on beta cell proliferation in vivo. RESULTS In wild-type mice, Irs2 and Pdx1 expression was increased by GKA. In Irs2 (-/-) mice, GKA administration increased the glucose-stimulated secretion of insulin and Pdx1 expression, but not beta cell proliferation. It was particularly noteworthy that oxidative stress inhibited the upregulation of the Irs2 and Pdx1 genes induced by GKA. Moreover, whereas neither GKA alone nor exendin-4 alone upregulated the expression of Irs2 and Pdx1 in the islets of db/db mice, prior administration of exendin-4 to the mice caused GKA to increase the expression of these genes. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION GKA-stimulated IRS2 production affected beta cell proliferation but not beta cell function. Oxidative stress diminished the effects of GKA on the changes in expression of genes involved in beta cell function and proliferation. A combination of GKA and an incretin-related agent might therefore be effective in therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The effects of the heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) inhibitor geldanamycin (GA) were examined on the radiosensitivity and signal transduction pathways in human tumour cell lines. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two human cell lines, SQ-5 and DLD-1, derived from lung carcinoma and colon adenocarcinoma, respectively, were incubated for 16 h at 37 degrees C in medium containing 0.2 microM GA. The cells were then irradiated with X-rays and incubated with GA for a further 8 h. Radiation sensitivity was determined by clonogenic assays and protein levels were examined by Western blotting. RESULTS GA radiosensitized both cell lines, but potentiated X-ray sensitivity more in SQ-5 than in DLD-1 cells. It was found that GA depleted EGFR and ErbB-2 in DLD-1 cells and depleted only ErbB-2 in SQ-5 cells. GA also reduced the expression of Akt and phosphorylated Akt (pAkt) expression in SQ-5 cells. In addition, the ratio (%) of apoptotic cells and poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase cleavage increased in SQ-5 but not in DLD-1 cells after exposure to GA and X-ray irradiation. The findings suggest that GA enhances the radiation sensitivity of human tumour cells by inhibiting the EGFR signal transduction system and the Akt signalling pathway. CONCLUSION Targeting Hsp90 with GA provides a promising experimental strategy for radiosensitization of carcinoma.
