Abstract
Although dysregulated cholesterol metabolism predisposes aging tissues to inflammation and a plethora of diseases, the underlying molecular mechanism remains poorly defined. Here, we show that metabolic and genotoxic stresses, convergently acting through liver X nuclear receptor, upregulate CD38 to promote lysosomal cholesterol efflux, leading to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) depletion in macrophages. Cholesterol-mediated NAD+ depletion induces macrophage senescence, promoting key features of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), including subretinal lipid deposition and neurodegeneration. NAD+ augmentation reverses cellular senescence and macrophage dysfunction, preventing the development of AMD phenotype. Genetic and pharmacological senolysis protect against the development of AMD and neurodegeneration. Subretinal administration of healthy macrophages promotes the clearance of senescent macrophages, reversing the AMD disease burden. Thus, NAD+ deficit induced by excess intracellular cholesterol is the converging mechanism of macrophage senescence and a causal process underlying age-related neurodegeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to longitudinally evaluate speech perception ability and sound-field thresholds with the first, second, or bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) and MAP parameters of second CI in children. METHODS Eighteen children who underwent bilateral cochlear implantation at Kyoto University Hospital were included. We evaluated speech perception under quiet and noisy conditions using the first, second, or bilateral CIs, CI-aided sound-field thresholds using the first or second CI, and MAP parameter values (C-levels, T-levels, and dynamic range) of the second CI of more than 5 years after the second implantation. RESULTS Patients with a second CI after 7 years of age had significantly worse speech perception ability with the second CI even long after the surgery than those with a second CI before 7 years of age. CI-aided sound-field thresholds using the first or second CI were similar, regardless of the second implantation timing. Speech perception in noise with bilateral CIs was enhanced by the addition of a second CI, even after 7 years of age. Patients undergoing second cochlear implantation before 3.5 years of age showed significantly higher C-levels and wider dynamic ranges in the second CI MAP parameters. CONCLUSIONS When the second implantation was performed after 7 years of age, the second CI effects were limited even with long-term use, which is attributed to unstable MAP parameters. The second CI-aided sound-field threshold contributed to the better outcome of bilateral CIs in noise, even if the second implantation was performed at age of ≥7 years.

Abstract
Background Disease severity of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is influenced by diet. Dietary protein, a recognized cyst-accelerating factor, is catabolized into amino acids (AA) and delivered to the kidney leading to renal hypertrophy. Injury-induced hypertrophic signaling in ADPKD results in increased macrophage (MФ) activation and inflammation followed by cyst growth. We hypothesize that the cystogenesis-prompting effects of HP diet are caused by increased delivery of specific AA to the kidney, ultimately stimulating MФs to promote cyst progression. Methods Pkd1flox/flox mice with and without Cre (CAGG-ER) were given tamoxifen to induce global gene deletion (Pkd1KO). Pkd1KO mice were fed either a low (LP; 6%), normal (NP; 18%), or high (HP; 60%) protein diet for 1 week (early) or 6 weeks (chronic). Mice were then euthanized and tissues were used for histology, immunofluorescence and various biochemical assays. One week fed kidney tissue was cell sorted to isolate tubular epithelial cells for RNA sequencing. Results Chronic dietary protein load in Pkd1KO mice increased kidney weight, number of kidney infiltrating and resident MФs, chemokines, cytokines and cystic index compared to LP diet fed mice. Accelerated cyst growth induced by chronic HP were attenuated by liposomal clodronate-mediated MФ depletion. Early HP diet fed Pkd1KO mice had larger cystic kidneys compared to NP or LP fed counterparts, but without increases in the number of kidney MФs, cytokines, or markers of tubular injury. RNA sequencing of tubular epithelial cells in HP compared to NP or LP diet group revealed increased expression of sodium-glutamine transporter Snat3, chloride channel Clcnka, and gluconeogenesis marker Pepck1, accompanied by increased excretion of urinary ammonia, a byproduct of glutamine. Early glutamine supplementation in Pkd1KO mice lead to kidney hypertrophy. Conclusion Chronic dietary protein load-induced renal hypertrophy and accelerated cyst growth in Pkd1KO mice is dependent on both infiltrating and resident MФ recruitment and subsequent inflammatory response. Early cyst expansion by HP diet, however, is relient on increased delivery of glutamine to kidney epithelial cells, driving downstream metabolic changes prior to inflammatory provocation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although most patients of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) experience a reduction in pain within several weeks to months of the initiation of immunotherapies, some suffer from residual neuropathic symptoms for a long time. CASE PRESENTATION A 28-year-old woman diagnosed with EGPA visited. She had been treated with steroid pulse therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin, and mepolizumab (antiinterleukin-5 agent). Her symptoms other than peripheral neuropathy improved, but posterior lower thigh pain and weakness of the lower legs worsened. At the initial visit, she used crutches and complained of numb pain in both posterior lower thighs, especially the left one. She also presented with left foot drop and reported a decreased tactile sensation on the lateral sides of both lower thighs. We performed spinal cord stimulation (SCS) at the L1 level on both sides. Her pain remarkably decreased, her tactile sensation improved, her muscle strength increased, and she was able to walk without crutches. CONCLUSIONS We herein report the first case of lower extremity pain being successfully treated with SCS in an EGPA patient who did not respond well to drug therapy. Because the cause of pain in EGPA is neuropathy induced by vasculitis, there is ample ability for SCS to improve this pain. When pain is neuropathic, whatever the cause, SCS may be worth trying, even for pain from disorders other than EGPA.

Abstract
Objective This study examined the estimated causal relationship between vulnerability and depressive symptoms in Japanese university athletes and how the degree of vulnerability affects depressive symptoms. Materials and methods In Study 1, 248 Japanese university athletes completed a continual survey from Time 1 to Time 3. In Study 2, 562 Japanese university athletes responded to another survey during the same period. Structural equation modeling was performed to estimate the causal relationship using the cross-lagged effects model for the three waves. Next, a binomial logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the influence of vulnerability on depression. Results Results of the cross-lagged effects model showed that all paths from vulnerability to depressive symptoms were significant, and all paths from depressive symptoms to vulnerability were not significant. Thus, vulnerability was the causative variable and depressive symptoms were the outcome variables within the causal relationship. The logistic regression results showed that those with high vulnerability were 1.7 times more likely to have moderate or higher depressive symptoms than those with low vulnerability. Vulnerable individuals are at a higher risk for developing depressive symptoms. By verifying the causal relationship between vulnerability and depressive symptoms, we can contribute to the enhancement of mental health care in accordance with the weakest link model. Appropriate psychological support for athletes can decrease depression and improve their mental health.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of short curing time using a high-radiant emittance light on polymerization shrinkage vectors in different consistency bulk-fill composites (BFRCs) using micro-computed tomography. METHODS AND MATERIALS Radiopaque zirconia fillers were homogeneously incorporated and functioned as radiopaque tracers into two regular-paste: TBFill (Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill) and TPFill (Tetric PowerFill), and two flowable (n=6): TBFlow (Tetric EvoFlow Bulk Fill) and TPFlow (Tetric PowerFlow) resin composites. Class I cavities (4 mm depth × 4 mm length × 4 mm width) were 3D-printed and filled in a single increment: TBFill and TBFlow were light-activated using a Bluephase Style 20i (10 seconds in high-mode); TPFill and TPFlow were light-activated using a Bluephase PowerCure (three seconds). The same adhesive system (Adhese Universal) was used for all groups. Microcomputed tomography scans were obtained before and after light-activation. Filler particle movement was identified by polymerization shrinkage vectors at five depths (from 0-4 mm): top, top-middle, middle, middle-bottom and bottom. RESULTS TPFlow showed the lowest total vector displacement, followed by TBFlow, TBFill and TPFill, significantly different among each other (p<0.05). Generally, BFRCs showed decreased vector displacement with increased depth, and higher displacement at the top-surface (p<0.05). Qualitative analysis showed a similar pattern of vector magnitude and displacement for groups TBFill and TPFill, with displacement vectors on occlusal (top) surfaces toward the center of the restoration from the top to middle areas, and relatively limited displacement at the bottom. TBFlow and TPFlow showed more displacement on the occlusal (top). CONCLUSIONS Short curing time with high-radiant emittance on fast-curing BFRCs was shown to be a feasible option in terms of vector displacement. Flowable BFRCs presented lower vector displacement than their regular-viscosity versions.

Abstract
Fatalities caused by pneumonia and underlying diseases from COVID-19 infection show the highest relative frequency among elderly people. Long-term care facilities for elderly people have continued to be the areas most vulnerable to COVID-19. We examined the effectiveness of training for infection control and COVID-19 at elderly care facilities. After sending questionnaires to all long-term elderly care facilities in Ibaraki prefecture, Japan during January 18-29, 2022, we received useful responses from 98 facilities. Using logistic regression, we regressed a dummy variable for outbreak experience to dummy variables representing routine but partial training, routine training for all staff members, long-term care facilities for elderly people, numbers of nurses, and numbers of residents. Outbreak experiences of two types were inferred, as represented by a dummy variable for a COVID-19 outbreak at the facility, and by a dummy variable for outbreak experience at the facility before COVID-19 was found. Multivariate analysis indicated routine training for all staff members as the most effective, in fact the only effective, countermeasure against COVID-19 outbreak.

Abstract
Purpose Transplant surgery is a demanding field in which the technical skills of the surgeon correlates with patient outcomes. As such, there is potential for simulation-based training to play an important role in technical skill acquisition. This study provides a systematic assessment of the current literature regarding the use of simulation to improve surgeon technical skills in transplantation. Methods Data were collected by performing an electronic search of the PubMed and Scopus database for articles describing simulation in transplant surgery. The abstracts were screened using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Three reviewers analyzed 172 abstracts and agreed upon articles that met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. Results Simulators can be categorized into virtual reality simulators, cadaveric models, animal models (animate or inanimate) and synthetic physical models. No virtual reality simulators in transplant surgery are described in the literature. Three cadaveric models, seven animal models and eight synthetic physical models specific to transplant surgery are described. A total of 18 publications focusing on technical skills simulation in kidney, liver, lung, pancreas, and cardiac transplantation were found with the majority focusing on kidney transplantation. Conclusions This systematic review identifies currently reported simulation models in transplant surgery. This will serve as a reference for general surgery and transplant surgery professionals interested in using simulation to enhance their technical skills.

Abstract
BackgroundDecreased regulatory T cells (Tregs) and Treg dysfunction are hallmarks of a various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. While low-dose IL-2 therapy induces Treg expansion in vivo and has clinical benefits in some diseases (e.g., SLE and chronic graft-versus-host disease [GvHD]), there are many concerns about adverse events due to low Treg-selectivity. Furthermore, frequent dosing is needed due to the short half-life.ObjectivesWe discovered a novel site-specific PEGylated IL-2 variant, KKC80, with high Treg selectivity and a long half-life in vivo, which overcomes the issues of low-dose IL-2 therapy.MethodsBased on the co-crystal structure of wild-type IL-2 and its heterotrimeric receptor (PBD ID: 2ERJ), amino acid residues that were to be PEGylation sites were substituted with oAzZLys, an azide-containing lysine derivative. The PEG molecule was site-specifically attached to oAzZLys-incorporated IL-2 by copper-free click chemistry. The binding property to the IL-2 receptors were measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). In vitro, Treg selectivity was evaluated by the IL-2-dependent proliferation activity of Tregs and NK cells from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). In vivo pharmacological activity after the single subcutaneous administration in cynomolgus monkeys was measured by changes in Treg count and Treg activation status in peripheral blood by flow cytometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated according to serum PEGylated IL-2 concentration. Efficacy in mouse xenogeneic GvHD model using human PBMC-transplanted NOG mice and in monkey DTH model were evaluated.ResultsA novel PEGylated IL-2, KKC80 (human IL-2 desA1/C125S /I129oAzZLys_W-shaped 80 kDa PEG) was discovered by optimizing the PEGylation site and PEG structure based on Treg selectivity and PK. SPR analysis showed that the binding affinity of KKC80 to CD25 was moderately decreased from wild-type IL-2, while binding affinity of KKC80 to IL-2Rβγ was remarkably decreased due to a significant change of the association rate constant. In vitro, wild-type IL-2 activated both Tregs and NK cells in the same concentration range, whereas KKC80 selectively activated Tregs. The Treg selectivity of KKC80 was comparable to another IL-2 mutein, Fc.IL-2 V91K. KKC80, but not Fc.IL-2 V91K, retained its biological activity, even in the presence of a large amount of recombinant soluble CD25, which mimicked the endogenous decoy receptor for IL-2. In monkeys, KKC80 selectively increased peripheral blood Tregs in a dose-dependent manner; the average maximum rate of increase of Treg count in animals treated with 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3 and 1 mg/kg was 1.5, 3.5, 28, 50 and 154-fold, respectively. In contrast to Tregs, the rates of increase of conventional CD4+ T, CD8+ T and NK cells were low. The Treg increase peaked on day 8 or 11 and lasted for over day 29. KKC80 showed a more sustained upregulation of functional Treg markers (e.g., Foxp3 and CD25) in comparison to Fc.IL-2 V91K. The half-life of KKC80 was calculated as 83.5 to 150 h. At high doses, inflammation-related adverse effects, including increased CRP (≥0.3 mg/kg) and deterioration of general conditions (1 mg/kg) were observed. In the mouse xenogenic GvHD model, KKC80 ameliorated GvHD symptoms and suppressed multiple tissue inflammation markers. Decreased soluble CD25 and IFN-γ were also confirmed, suggesting Treg-mediated anti-inflammatory effect by KKC80 administration were exerted in vivo. In the monkey DTH model, KKC80 suppressed skin inflammation and antibody production.ConclusionAmong next-generation IL-2 variants, KKC80 showed a best-in-class biological profile for Treg activation. A drastic and sustained increase of Tregs with high Treg-selectivity and anti-inflammatory effects were observed in vivo. These data suggest that in comparison to current IL-2 therapy, KKC80 provides superior therapeutic index and efficacy in patients with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.Figure 1.Disclosure of InterestsMasahiro Ikeda Employee of: Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd., Shinpei Yamaguchi Employee of: Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd., Masumi Murakami Employee of: Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd., Shigeki Takaoka Employee of: Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd., Yasuko Sakaguchi Employee of: Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd., Shunki Yasui Employee of: Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd., Kousuke Iijima Employee of: Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd., Kenichiro Nanya Employee of: Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd., Hideyuki Onodera Employee of: Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd., Toru Amano Employee of: Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd.

Abstract
High flexural strength of computer-aided manufacturing resin composite blocks (CAD/CAM RCBs) are required in clinical scenarios. However, the conventional in vitro approach of modifying materials’ composition by trial and error was not efficient to explore the effective components that contribute to the flexural strength. Machine learning (ML) is a powerful tool to achieve the above goals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop ML models to predict the flexural strength of CAD/CAM RCBs and explore the components that affect flexural strength as the first step. The composition of 12 commercially available products and flexural strength were collected from the manufacturers and literature. The initial data consisted of 16 attributes and 12 samples. Considering that the input data for each sample were recognized as a multidimensional vector, a fluctuation range of 0.1 was proposed for each vector and the number of samples was augmented to 120. Regression algorithms—that is, random forest (RF), extra trees, gradient boosting decision tree, light gradient boosting machine, and extreme gradient boosting—were used to develop 5 ML models to predict flexural strength. An exhaustive search and feature importance analysis were conducted to analyze the effective components that affected flexural strength. The R2 values for each model were 0.947, 0.997, 0.998, 0.983, and 0.927, respectively. The relative errors of all the algorithms were within 15%. Among the high predicted flexural strength group in the exhaustive search, urethane dimethacrylate was contained in all compositions. Filler content and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate were the top 2 features predicted by all models in the feature importance analysis. ZrSiO4 was the third important feature for all models, except the RF model. The ML models established in this study successfully predicted the flexural strength of CAD/CAM RCBs and identified the effective components that affected flexural strength based on the available data set.

Abstract
Tramadol, a weak μ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonist with inhibitory effects on the reuptake of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) and norepinephrine, is an effective analgesic to chronic pains. Osteoprotegerin produced by osteoblasts is essential for bone remodeling to suppress osteoclastic bone resorption. We previously reported that prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) induces osteoprotegerin synthesis whereby p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase, p38 MAP kinase and stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) are involved in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. Herein, we investigated the mechanism underlying the effect of tramadol on the PGD2-induced osteoprotegerin synthesis in these cells. Tramadol enhanced the PGD2-induced release and mRNA expression of osteoprotegerin. Naloxone, a MOR antagonist, reduced the amplification by tramadol of the PGD2-stimulated osteoprotegerin release. Not the selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor reboxetine but the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors fluvoxamine and sertraline upregulated the PGD2-induced osteoprotegerin release, which was further amplified by morphine. Tramadol enhanced PGD2-stimulated phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase and SAPK/JNK, but not p44/p42 MAP kinase. Both SB203580 and SP600125 suppressed the tramadol effect to enhance the PGD2-stimulated osteoprotegerin release. Tramadol enhanced the PGE2-induced osteoprotegerin release as well as PGD2. These results suggest that tramadol amplifies the PGD2-induced osteoprotegerin synthesis at the upstream of p38 MAP kinase and SAPK/JNK in the involvement of both MOR and 5-HT transporter in osteoblasts.

Abstract
Acetaminophen is one of the most widely used analgesic and antipyretic medicines, whose long-period use has reportedly been associated with an increased risk of bone fracture. However, the mechanism underlying this undesired effect remains to be investigated. The homeostatic control of bone tissue depends on the interaction between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Osteoprotegerin produced by osteoblasts is known to play an essential role in suppressing osteoclast induction. We have previously reported that prostaglandin (PG) E2 and PGF2α induce osteoprotegerin synthesis through p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), p44/p42 MAPK and stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we investigated the effects of acetaminophen on the osteoprotegerin synthesis induced by PGE2 and PGF2α in MC3T3-E1 cells. Acetaminophen significantly suppressed the osteoprotegerin release stimulated by PGE2 and PGF2α. The PGE2-induced expression of osteoprotegerin mRNA was also reduced by acetaminophen. Acetaminophen markedly downregulated the phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK stimulated by PGE2 and PGF2α, but not those of p38 MAPK or p44/p42 MAPK. SP600125, an inhibitor of SAPK/JNK, suppressed the levels of PGE2- and PGF2α-upregulated osteoprotegerin mRNA expression. Taken together, these results strongly suggest that acetaminophen reduces the PGE2- and PGF2α-stimulated synthesis of osteoprotegerin in osteoblasts, and that the suppressive effect is exerted via attenuation of SAPK/JNK. These findings provide a molecular basis for the possible effect of acetaminophen on bone tissue metabolism.

Abstract
Duloxetine, a selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, is currently recommended for the treatment of chronic painful disorders such as fibromyalgia, chronic musculoskeletal pain, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. We previously demonstrated that bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) stimulates osteoprotegerin (OPG) production in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells, and that p70 S6 kinase positively regulates OPG synthesis. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of duloxetine on BMP-4-stimulated OPG synthesis in these cells. Duloxetine dose-dependently suppressed OPG release stimulated by BMP-4. Fluvoxamine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), reduced BMP-4-stimulated OPG release, whereas a selective and specific norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, reboxetine, failed to affect OPG release. In addition, another SSRI sertraline also inhibited BMP-4-stimulated OPG release. On the other hand, siRNA of SMAD1 reduced the OPG release stimulated by BMP-4, indicating the involvement of the SMAD1/5/8 pathway in OPG release. Rapamycin inhibited BMP-4-stimulated p70 S6 kinase phosphorylation, and compound C suppressed the SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation stimulated by BMP-4. Duloxetine did not affect BMP-4-induced phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase but suppressed SMAD1/5/8 phosphorylation. Both fluvoxamine and sertraline also inhibited BMP-4-elicited phosphorylation of SMAD1/5/8. These results strongly suggest that duloxetine suppresses BMP-4-stimulated OPG release via inhibition of the Smad1/5/8 signaling pathway in osteoblasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucocorticoids (GCs) are expected to inhibit the synthesis and release of proinflammatory cytokines, which induces local pain. Serious side effects or complications are considered rare with single-dose GC use. However, the amount of systemic absorption and the side effects induced by local GC injections are not well understood. OBJECTIVES We measured the changes in glucose levels after single-does dexamethasone injection with nerve blockade using a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in non-diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and investigated the risk factors for hyperglycemia. STUDY DESIGN This is a cohort study. SETTING This study was conducted at Gifu University Hospital in Japan. METHODS Forty-six non-DM patients who underwent elective lumbar or sacral nerve root pulsed radiofrequency or lumbar medial branch of the posterior primary rami conventional radiofrequency with dexamethasone (0.1 mg/kg) were analyzed. The patients underwent monitoring of their interstitial glucose using a CGMS. Hyperglycemia was defined as a blood glucose level >= 200 mg/dL. The area under the curve (AUC) where the blood glucose level was over 200 mg/dL was calculated and analyzed. The risk factors of hyperglycemia were determined using an applied ordinal regression model analysis with the AUC as the objective variable and 4 factors (age, body mass index, glucose level just before GC injection, and glycosylated hemoglobin) as explanatory variables. The blood glucose levels were predicted by a nonlinear regression model. RESULTS The AUC and maximum glucose level were higher on the first day than after the second day. None of the 4 factors were predictors of hyperglycemia. The glucose level before the procedure was associated with the predicted blood glucose level on the first day (P = 0.042). However, the 95% upper confidence limit of the maximum predicted blood glucose level was less than the safety margin. The predicted blood glucose levels returned to the usual level after the second day. LIMITATIONS First, GCs are metabolized by cytochrome p450 3A4, and it is possible that the inhibition of this pathway decreases the clearance of GCs. Some of our patients were taking medications that influence this cytochrome pathway. Second, we cannot eliminate the possibility of stress-induced hyperglycemia. Finally, we were unable to record the exact meal timing and calories the patients had consumed. CONCLUSIONS The blood glucose levels were higher than usual on the first day following a local dexamethasone injection, but the levels were not critical in most cases. Because we cannot predict which patients will develop hyperglycemia, we must determine whether or not GCs can be safely administered and inform patients about potential complications.

Abstract
The rise in population aging worldwide is causing an unparalleled increase in death from many cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM). In advanced countries, the number of elderly people living alone is increasing due to the rapid aging of the population and the socialization of nuclear families. Here, we explored the impact of aging and social isolation on GBM tumorigenesis. In normal brain tissue, aging promoted pathways related to cytokines and inflammation, which were further promoted by social isolation. In tumor tissues, the expression of neuron/synapse-related genes was significantly reduced in aged mice, and their expression was further reduced by social isolation. In addition, the survival period of aged mice was significantly shorter than that of young mice, and the survival period was further shortened by social isolation, which was characteristic of males. This phenomenon was the same in humans, and the survival period in the young group was significantly longer than that in the elderly group, and in the elderly group, the survival period was shortened in the male elderly group living alone. Our data indicate that social isolation contributes to the highly aggressive GBM by the shift to neuro-inflammation in the elderly brain.

Abstract
The rise in population aging worldwide is causing an unparalleled increase in death from many cancers, including glioblastoma (GBM). Here, we have explored the impact of aging and rejuvenation on GBM tumorigenesis. Compared with neuro-inflammatory old GBM, young GBM displayed elevated neuronal/synaptic signaling via brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and SLIT and NTRK like-family member 6 (SLITRK6), promoting favorable survival rates. These effects were attributed to the rise in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels, as brain rejuvenation by parabiosis or administration of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) in mice elicited a younger phenotype with activated neuronal/synaptic signaling and improved outcomes. Our data indicate that age-associated NAD+ loss contributes to the highly aggressive GBM by the shift from neuronal/synaptic activity to neuro-inflammation in the elderly brain. These findings have therapeutic and preventive implications in GBM and provide mechanistic insights into the exacerbation of GBM tumorigenesis by aging.

Abstract
Background
Sepsis is a systemic condition of profoundly impaired health in which an infection leads to a dysregulated host response, and consecutively causes organ dysfunction, shock, and even death. Septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) is one of the multiple organ dysfunctions. SCM is typically defined as left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, presented by decreased LV ejection fraction (LVEF). However, it remains unclear about the detailed mechanism of cardiac dysfunction. In addition, the prognostic impact of right heart dysfunction in SCM patients has not been fully investigated.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic impact of right heart dysfunction in patients with SCM.
Methods
We used the MIMIC-III (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III) critical care database, which is a large, freely-available database comprising deidentified health-related data associated with over forty thousand patients who stayed in critical care units of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center between 2001 and 2012. We retrospectively analyzed data of patients with septic shock on admission to intensive care unit (ICU). Septic shock was defined as the presence of any suspected infections, the need for vasopressors, and the lactate level exceeding 2 mmol/L, based on the Sepsis-3 criteria. Patients were performed portable transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) during hospitalization. LVEF and right ventricular (RV) function were determined predominately by visual estimation in the parasternal long-axis view. SCM was defined as having a minimum LVEF of 50% or less during hospitalization. Patients with hyperdynamic motion of LVEF >70% were excluded.
Results
In total, there were 2254 patients with septic shock. Of these, 604 patients who underwent TTE were enrolled, and 314 patients were diagnosed with SCM. At baseline, age, gender, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, maximum lactate levels, and maximum norepinephrine dosage were 70 [59–79] years, 194 males, 13 [11–15], 4.0 [2.7–6.2] mmol/L, and 0.20 [0.10–0.31] mcg/kg/min, respectively. All patients were treated with vasopressors. In Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, patients with SCM had increased 28-day mortality compared with those without SCM (log-rank, p=0.09). In addition, we divided SCM patients into two groups; SCM with and without RV dysfunction. SCM patients with RV dysfunction had significant increased 28-day mortality compared with those without RV dysfunction (log-rank, p=0.01) (Figure). In Cox proportional hazard regression analysis adjusted for age, male sex, SOFA score, and maximum lactate levels, RV dysfunction was an independent determinant of 28-day mortality (hazard ratio, 1.59; 95% confidence interval, 1.03–2.46; p=0.03).
Conclusions
The presence of RV dysfunction increased 28-day mortality in patients with SCM. It might be useful for predicting the prognosis of SCM to evaluate not only left heart function but also right heart function.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The spleen has been recognized as an important organ with several functions such as a reservoir of blood volume, and an involvement in iron metabolism by processing of aged red blood cells and recycling iron. During exercise, spleen contracts, and red blood cells pooled in the spleen are recruited into the systemic circulation. So far, we reported that spleen size changed in advanced heart failure (HF) with left ventricular assist device (LVAD). In addition, spleen volume was related to pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) or right atrial pressure (RAP) as parameters of cardiac preload. However, it remains unclear about the relationship between spleen volume and exercise capacity in advanced HF with LVAD.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between spleen volume and exercise capacity in advanced HF patients with LVAD.
Methods
We enrolled 27 HF patients (21 males, 45±12 years) with LVAD (HeartMate II™; Abbott, Chicago, IL, USA) for use as a bridge to heart transplantation. All patients underwent blood test, echocardiography, right heart catheterization, computed tomography (CT) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Spleen size was measured by CT volumetry. We excluded patients with splenic infarction or aortic valve closure surgery.
Results
At baseline, body mass index, blood brain natriuretic peptide levels, hemoglobin levels, left ventricular ejection fraction were 21.4±3.1 kg/m2, 73.8 (51.9–165.8) pg/mL, 12.1 (10.6–13.4) g/dL, 24.8±14.7%, respectively. Total cardiac output (CO), the sum of pump flow and CO of native heart was 4.6±0.9 L/min, and spleen volume was 184.9±48.8 mL. As for parameters of CPET, peak heart rate (HR), peak VO2, and peak O2 pulse were 128±25 beats/min, 14.2±3.3 mL/kg/min, and 6.6±1.9 mL/beat. At rest, there were significant correlations between spleen volume and PCWP (r=0.382, p=0.049), RAP (r=0.406, p=0.035) or pulsatility index (r=0.384, p=0.047), despite no correlations with total CO or pump flow. During exercise, there were significant interrelations of spleen volume with peak VO2 (r=0.451, p=0.018) and peak O2 pulse (r=0.427, p=0.026). Furthermore, peak VO2 was interrelated with peak HR (r=0.481, p=0.011) or hemoglobin levels (r=0.649, p<0.001). Remarkably, spleen volume was significantly correlated with hemoglobin levels (r=0.391, p=0.043) (Figure). Interpreting these results based on Fick's formula, the proportion of native CO to total CO is very small at rest, but increases during exercise. The spleen during exercise may contribute to increased native CO, especially stroke volume. Moreover, the spleen may be related to both cardiac preload and oxygen carrying capacity, resulting in a significant association between spleen volume and peak VO2.
Conclusion
Spleen volume could be a useful predictor of exercise capacity in advanced HF patients with LVAD, reflecting splenic function to modulate cardiac preload and blood hemoglobin levels.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by a reduction in left and/or right ventricular myocardial contraction, dilatation of biventricular cavity and major cause of heart failure with high morbidity and mortality rates. Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) recently have been received attention because of 34% of DCM had RVD and considered as a powerful predictor of impaired prognosis in DCM. Pulmonary Artery Pulsatility index (PAPi) is a novel hemodynamic index shown to predict RVD in advanced heart failure, however, it is unknown that even at early phase, PAPi can reflects latent right myocardial damage and predict long-term prognosis in stable DCM patients.
Methods
From April 2000 to March 2018, we enrolled 566 consecutive patients with cardiomyopathy. All patients underwent laboratory measurement, echocardiography, and cardiac catheterization to evaluate their general conditions. After excluded secondary cardiomyopathy, ischemic cardiomyopathy, and valvular heart disease, finally 162 DCM patients were enrolled. All enrolled patients had NYHA I/II/III and NYHA I/II were 150 patients (92.6%). PAPi was calculated as (systolic pulmonary artery pressure – diastolic pulmonary artery pressure (Pulmonary artery pulse pressure: PAPP)) / right atrial pressure. Median followed up for 4.85 years. In this study 149 patients were performed endomyocardial biopsy in order to exclude secondary cardiomyopathies and 95 patients were assessed using Sirius red staining. Myocardial fibrosis in biopsy specimen was assessed using Sirius red staining, and the positive region was quantified as the collagen volume fraction (CVF).
Results
The mean age and LV ejection fraction (EF) was 50.9±12.6 years and 30.5±8.3%, respectively. When divided into two groups by median PAPi value [PAPi <3.06 (L-PAP) and PAPi ≥3.06 (H-PAP)], even though there were no significant difference in BNP, pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular stroke work index between two groups, the probability of cardiac event-survival was significantly higher in L-PAP than H-PAP by Kaplan-Meier analysis (P=0.012). Furthermore, cox proportional hazard regression analysis revealed that PAPi was independent predictor of cardiac events (hazard ratio: 0.624, P=0.025). In pathological analysis, there was no difference between H-PAPi and L-PAPi in CVF.
Conclusion
In the calculation of PAPi, PAPP reflects both RV contractility and left atrial filling pressure and this index considered as RV adaptive response to afterload. The denominator of the PAPP is defined by RA pressure, which serves as a marker of RV preload. Thus, PAPi reflect both preload and afterload of RV at the same time and even though estimated patients at early phase, RVD exists in DCM patients without severe myocardial fibrosis, and PAPi may help stratify DCM and predict cardiac events.

Abstract
Intratumor spatial heterogeneity facilitates therapeutic resistance in glioblastoma (GBM). Nonetheless, understanding of GBM heterogeneity is largely limited to the surgically resectable tumor core lesion while the seeds for recurrence reside in the unresectable tumor edge. In this study, stratification of GBM to core and edge demonstrates clinically relevant surgical sequelae. We establish regionally derived models of GBM edge and core that retain their spatial identity in a cell autonomous manner. Upon xenotransplantation, edge-derived cells show a higher capacity for infiltrative growth, while core cells demonstrate core lesions with greater therapy resistance. Investigation of intercellular signaling between these two tumor populations uncovers the paracrine crosstalk from tumor core that promotes malignancy and therapy resistance of edge cells. These phenotypic alterations are initiated by HDAC1 in GBM core cells which subsequently affect edge cells by secreting the soluble form of CD109 protein. Our data reveal the role of intracellular communication between regionally different populations of GBM cells in tumor recurrence. Intratumoural spatial heterogeneity is crucial to enhance therapeutic resistance in glioblastoma. Here, the authors show a paracrine signaling mechanism where glioblastoma-initiating cells located in the tumour edge elevate their malignancy by interaction with core-located tumour cells.

Abstract
The housing types (HST) in which dairy cows are kept and the feeding systems (FDS) used differ among farmers in Japan. Here, we investigated the genetic relationships among conception rate at first insemination (CR) and milk production traits (PROD) during the first 3 lactations of Holstein cows by using a multiple-trait model that considered the trait values of herds with different HST [tiestall (TSL) barn, freestall (FS) barn, or grazing (GZ)] and FDS as separate traits. Milk production and conception records of Holstein cows in the Hokkaido region of Japan (283,611 records for first lactation, 253,902 for second, and 181,197 for third) were analyzed. We categorized herds with TSL or FS into 2 types of FDS for cows: separate feeding (SF) of roughage plus concentrate or feeding of total mixed ration, in which roughage and concentrates were mixed before feeding. The PROD analyzed were cumulative milk, fat, and protein yields within 305 d and lactation persistency, which we defined as the difference between milk yields at 240 and 60 d in milk. We estimated the heritabilities for CR or PROD within each HST or HST × FDS group and the genetic correlations between these traits within each group or across different groups within each lactation by using a 3-HST (TSL, FS, and GZ) × 2-trait (CR and each PROD) or 2-HST (TSL and FS) × 2-FDS × 2-trait animal model. Heritability estimates for CR in GZ were higher than those in TSL or FS, and genetic correlations for CR between GZ and TSL or FS barns were weaker than those between TSL and FS barns. In addition, genetic correlations between CR and PROD in GZ were weaker than those in TSL and FS barns. In the comparison among the 4 HST × FDS except GZ, heritability estimates for CR in FS × SF were higher than those in the others, and genetic correlations for CR between FS × SF and the other systems were relatively weak. These results indicated that differences in the production system for Holstein cows influence genotypic effects in terms of the cows' ability to conceive and the genetic relationships between fertility traits and milk production traits.

Abstract
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) synthesized by osteoblasts is currently considered a crucial regulator to suppress the formation and function of osteoclasts. We previously showed that the synthesis of OPG is stimulated by prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) in the involvement of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) and p44/p42 MAPK in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. We also found that Rho-kinase is involved in the signaling of PGF2α upstream of p38 MAPK in these cells. Tramadol is widely used to treat chronic pain, such as low back pain associated with osteoporosis. We investigated whether or not tramadol affects the OPG release induced by PGF2α in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. The levels of OPG in the conditioned medium were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The mRNA expression of OPG was determined with real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The phosphorylation of target protein was determined with a Western blot analysis. PGF2α induced the release and the mRNA expression of OPG, which tramadol significantly enhanced. Morphine, a selective μ-opioid receptor (MOR) agonist, also enhanced the PGF2α-induced OPG release. In addition, naloxone, a MOR antagonist, suppressed the enhancement by tramadol or morphine of the PGF2α-induced OPG synthesis. Tramadol upregulated the phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK and p38 MAPK stimulated by PGF2α but not that of p44/p42 MAPK or myosin phosphatase targeting protein (MYPT), a substrate of Rho-kinase. The inhibitors of both p38 MAPK and SAPK/JNK, SB203580 and SP600125, respectively, reduced the tramadol amplification of OPG release stimulated by PGF2α. The present results strongly suggest that tramadol enhances the synthesis of OPG stimulated by PGF2α through MOR in osteoblasts, and that the amplifying effect is exerted at upstream of p38 MAPK and SAPK/JNK but downstream of Rho-kinase.

Abstract
Malperfusion syndrome is considered one of the most significant adverse events in aortic dissection disease and often requires invasive strategies to improve ischemia. We report the case of a patient who was presented with worsening claudication and leg rest pain due to malperfusion syndrome of type B aortic dissection. We successfully performed endovascular fenestration therapy to relieve the symptom by using a NRG radiofrequency transseptal needle (Baylis Medical, Montreal, Canada). We suggest that this novel method would be available for the patients with malperfusion syndrome of aortic dissection

Abstract
Bioactive materials should maintain their properties during implantation and for long time in contact with physiological fluids and tissues. In the present research, five different bioactive materials (a bioactive glass and four different chemically treated bioactive titanium surfaces) have been studied and compared in terms of mechanical stability of the surface bioactive layer-substrate interface, their long term bioactivity, the type of hydroxyapatite matured and the stability of the hydroxyapatite-surface bioactive layer interface. Numerous physical and chemical analyses (such as Raman spectroscopy, macro and micro scratch tests, soaking in SBF, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy equipped with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), zeta potential measurements and Fourier Transformed Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR) with chemical imaging) were used. Scratch measurements evidenced differences among the metallic surfaces concerning the mechanical stability of the surface bioactive layer-substrate interface. All the surfaces, despite of different kinetics of bioactivity, are covered by a bone like carbonate-hydroxyapatite with B-type substitution after 28 days of soaking in SBF. However, the stability of the apatite layer is not the same for all the materials: dissolution occurs at pH around 4 (close to inflammation condition) in a more pronounced way for the surfaces with faster bioactivity together with detachment of the surface bioactive layer. A protocol of characterization is here suggested to predict the implant-bone interface stability.

Abstract
The development of efficacious therapies targeting metastatic spread of breast cancer to the brain represents an unmet clinical need. Accordingly, an improved understanding of the molecular underpinnings of central nervous system spread and progression of breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM) is required. In this study, the clinical burden of disease in BCBM was investigated, as well as the role of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1A3 (ALDH1A3) in the metastatic cascade leading to BCBM development. Initial analysis of clinical survival trends for breast cancer and BCBM determined improvement of breast cancer survival rates; however, this has failed to positively affect the prognostic milestones of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) brain metastases (BM). ALDH1A3 and a representative epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) gene signature (mesenchymal markers, CD44 or Vimentin) were compared in tumors derived from BM, lung metastases (LM), or bone metastases (BoM) of patients as well as mice after injection of TNBC cells. Selective elevation of the EMT signature and ALDH1A3 were observed in BM, unlike LM and BoM, especially in the tumor edge. Furthermore, ALDH1A3 was determined to play a role in BCBM establishment via regulation of circulating tumor cell adhesion and migration phases in the BCBM cascade. Validation through genetic and pharmacologic inhibition of ALDH1A3 via lentiviral shRNA knockdown and a novel small-molecule inhibitor demonstrated selective inhibition of BCBM formation with prolonged survival of tumor-bearing mice. Given the survival benefits via targeting ALDH1A3, it may prove an effective therapeutic strategy for BCBM prevention and/or treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite an aggressive multimodal therapeutic regimen, glioblastoma (GBM) continues to portend a grave prognosis, which is driven in part by tumor heterogeneity at both the molecular and cellular levels. Accordingly, herein the authors sought to identify metabolic differences between GBM tumor core cells and edge cells and, in so doing, elucidate novel actionable therapeutic targets centered on tumor metabolism. METHODS Comprehensive metabolic analyses were performed on 20 high-grade glioma (HGG) tissues and 30 glioma-initiating cell (GIC) sphere culture models. The results of the metabolic analyses were combined with the Ivy GBM data set. Differences in tumor metabolism between GBM tumor tissue derived from within the contrast-enhancing region (i.e., tumor core) and that from the peritumoral brain lesions (i.e., tumor edge) were sought and explored. Such changes were ultimately confirmed at the protein level via immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Metabolic heterogeneity in both HGG tumor tissues and GBM sphere culture models was identified, and analyses suggested that tyrosine metabolism may serve as a possible therapeutic target in GBM, particularly in the tumor core. Furthermore, activation of the enzyme tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) within the tyrosine metabolic pathway influenced the noted therapeutic resistance of the GBM core. CONCLUSIONS Selective inhibition of the tyrosine metabolism pathway may prove highly beneficial as an adjuvant to multimodal GBM therapies.

Abstract
Bioactive materials, able to induce hydroxyapatite precipitation in contact with body fluids, are of great interest for their bone bonding capacity. . The aim of this paper is to compare bioactive materials with different surface features to verify the mechanisms of action and the relationship with kinetics and type of precipitated hydroxyapatite over time. Four different surface treatments for Ti/Ti6Al4V alloy and a bioactive glass were selected and a different mechanism of bioactivity is supposed for each of them. Apart from the conventional techniques (FESEM, XPS and EDX), less common characterizations (zeta potential measurements on solid surfaces and FTIR chemical imaging) were applied. The results suggest that the OH groups on the surface have several effects: the total number of the OH groups mainly affects hydrophilicity of surfaces, while the isoelectric points, surface charge and ions attraction mainly depend on OH acidic/basic strength. Kinetics of hydroxyapatite precipitation is faster when it involves a mechanism of ion exchange while it is slower when it is due to electrostatic effects . The electrostatic effect cooperates with ion exchange and it speeds up kinetics of hydroxyapatite precipitation. Different bioactive surfaces are able to differently induce precipitation of type A and B of hydroxyapatite, as well as different degrees of crystallinity and carbonation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The bone is made of a ceramic phase (a specific type of hydroxyapatite), a network of collagen fibers and the biological tissue. A strong bond of an orthopedic or dental implant with the bone is achieved by bioactive materials where precipitation and growth of hydroxyapatite occurs on the implant surface starting from the ions in the physiological fluids. Several bioactive materials are already known and used, but their mechanism of action is not completely known and the type of precipitated hydroxyapatite not fully investigated. In this work, bioactive titanium and bioglass surfaces are compared through conventional and innovative methodologies. Different mechanisms of bioactivity are identified, with different kinetics and the materials are able to induce precipitation of different types of hydroxyapatite, with different degree of crystallinity and carbonation.

Abstract
Abstract
The highly infiltrative nature of glioblastoma (GBM) underscores limited response to current therapies and subsequent unfavorable clinical outcome. Despite the gross total resection of tumors located in the enhancing lesions, GBMs inevitably recur from the areas adjacent to the resection cavity that retains tumor cells with tumor-initiating capacity with therapy resistant nature (glioma-initiating cells: GICs). Here, we identified, in clinical GBM tumors, two mutually-exclusive glioma-initiating cell subpopulations in two different regions of GBM tumors, core- and edge-located glioma-initiating cells that co-exist in single tumors (Minata et al. Cell Reports. 2019). Following this observation, we further established patient-derived GBM clones from both tumor core and edge tissues, termed core-GICs and edge-GICs, and uncovered their distinct molecular signatures. Unexpectedly, we found that these two distinct GIC subpopulations retain the spatial identity, meaning that the core GICs locate themselves in the injected site, whereas the edge GICs initiated to form edge-like lesions, when xenografted into mouse brains. Through OMICs analyses, we identified CD38 as a key molecule to determine the edge phenotype both in vitro and in vivo. Collectively, our findings indicate, for the first time, that GBM cells are heterogeneous to be composed of tumor cells destined to be located in distinct regions of the tumors in a molecularly-defined manner.

Abstract
Abstract
Therapeutic interventions induce cell stress to trigger apoptosis in tumor cells. Specific cellular stressors, including those initiated by radio-chemotherapy, activate distinct pro-death proteins through a multitude of mechanisms. Apoptosis consists of highly regulated pathways involving post-translational modifications and cleavage of proteins leading to sequential inactivation of the main cellular processes e.g. cell cycle progression. Recently, we demonstrated that apoptotic bodies/ApoEVs in GBM transfer spliceosomal machinery components to neighboring cells, which are subsequently internalized and confer survival advantage through changes in mRNA splicing. Following the validation of the role of RBM11, a spliceosomal component in the said intercellular communication, we extended our findings in the characterization of spatially distinct clonally derived sphere lines from tumor edge and core-located tissues from GBM patients. We analyzed the expression of spliceosomal genes in edge and core-derived clones and found spatially distinct splicing capabilities and that the genes that were affected by alternative splicing events in edge and core cells have different splicing of genes that are involved in ubiquitination and regulate cell cycle progression. Downstream analyses revealed that the most promising target is MDM2. Importantly, this gene regulates cell cycle via ubiquitination. Further, western blot revealed differential expression of both RBM11 and MDM2 in egde and core-derived clones.Collectively, the data so far provides motivation for the possibility of finding cellular vulnerabilities in the splicing machinery and thus actionable targets for intervention that accounts for the bearings of spatial heterogeneity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Myofibroblasts, which are activated fibroblasts, play an important role in interstitial fibrosis in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM). Recently, human epididymal body protein 4 (HE4) has attracted attention as a marker specific to myofibroblasts. However, the prognostic impact of HE-4 on cardiovascular events in NIDCM patients has not been reported.
Purposes
The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of circulating serum HE4 on the prognosis in patients with NIDCM.
Methods
Forty-four NIDCM patients underwent echocardiography, laboratory measurements, cardiac catheterization, and endomyocardial biopsy within one week under stable heart failure condition. Patients with cancer were excluded from this study. We collected blood samples from peripheral vain, ascending aorta, and coronary sinus during cardiac catheterization and measured serum HE4 level. They were divided into two groups at the median of HE4 level: High-HE4 group (HE4 >69 pmol/L); n=22, Low-HE4 group (HE4 <69 pmol/L); n=22. Cardiac composite event was defined as cardiac related deaths and hospitalization due to worsening heart failure.
Results
The mean age, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and plasma brain natriuretic peptide level were 56 years, 32%, and 205 pg/mL. Between two groups, there were no significant differences in age, gender, LVEF, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, cardiac index, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure. However, estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly lower in the High-HE4 group (p=0.025). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that the High-HE group had a higher rate of cardiac composite event (p=0.011, see Figure). However, as for the pathological analysis, not only the peripheral HE4 level but also HE4 value subtracting coronary sinus from ascending aorta did not significantly correlate with collagen volume fraction in biopsy samples.
Circulating HE4 level and prognosis
Conclusion
Elevated circulating HE4 is associcated with poor prognosis in ambulatory patients with NIDCM.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The spleen has been recognized as an important organ to reserve 20–30% of the total blood volume. Generally, splenomegaly has been thought to be related to congestion. However, in the setting of hypovolemic shock or hypoxemia, it has been reported that spleen contracted and splenic volume decreased. On the other hand, in advanced heart failure (HF), the hemodynamics is characterized by both low cardiac output (LO) and systemic congestion, and patients sometimes need support of left ventricular assist device (LVAD). However, it remains unclear about the association between spleen size and hemodynamic parameters in patients with LO who need LVAD support.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between spleen size and hemodynamic parameters in advanced HF before and after LVAD implantation.
Methods
We enrolled 12 advanced HF patients with LVAD (11 males, 45±10 years). All patients underwent blood test, echocardiography, right heart catheterization, and computed tomography (CT) before and after LVAD implantation. Spleen size was measured by CT volumetry. We excluded patients with splenic infarction, or any infections, or mean right atrial pressure (RAP) <5mmHg because of a possibility of hypovolemic status. LO was defined as CI less than 2.2L/min/m2.
Results
At pre- and post-LVAD implantation, cardiac output, cardiac index (CI), mean RAP, and mean pulmonary capillary wedge pressure were 3.1±0.6 vs. 4.9±0.9L/min, p=0.002; 1.7±0.3 vs. 2.8±0.3L/min/m2, p=0.002; 14±5 vs. 9±3mmHg, p=0.059; and 30±7 vs. 10±3mmHg, p=0.002, respectively. The serum brain natriuretic peptide level had significantly decreased (1101 [517–1446] vs 74 [35–216] pg/mL, p=0.002). In all patients, CI had increased to over 2.2L/min/m2. The splenic volume significantly increased from pre- to post-LVAD implantation (172±48 vs. 233±78mL, p=0.002) (Figure). Furthermore, all patients were divided into two groups; elevated RAP group (n=4) and non-elevated RAP group (n=8) after LVAD support. In elevated RAP group, there were no significant changes in the spleen size between pre- and post-LVAD implantation (167±45 vs. 223±111mL, p=0.068). On the other hand, in non-elevated RAP group, the spleen volume had significantly increased from pre- to post-LVAD support (172±53 vs. 231±62mL, p=0.011). In addition, there was one patient whose hemodynamic state had changed to LO again because of LVAD failure due to pump thrombosis. In this case, the splenic volume was 212mL before LVAD implantation with LO, and increased to 418mL after LVAD implantation with non-LO, although decreased to 227mL after LVAD pump failure with LO again.
Splenic volume changes
Conclusions
The spleen may change its size in order to keep cardiac output by regulating cardiac preload depending on the systemic perfusion in advanced HF with LVAD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In patients with hypertensive acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), intravenous vasodilators are commonly used. However, little is known about optimal use in blood pressure (BP) management to avoid acute kidney injury (AKI).
Purpose
To investigate the association between systolic BP (SBP) changes in first 6 h and incidence of AKI within 48 h in patients with hypertensive ADHF.
Methods
Post-hoc analysis was performed on a prospectively enrolled cohort. We investigated 245 patients with ADHF and SBP >140 mmHg on arrival (mean age, 76 years; 40% female). We defined “SBP-fall” as maximum percent reduction in SBP 6h after intravenous treatment. AKI was defined as serum creatinine (SCr) ≥0.3 mg/dL, or urine output <0.5 mL/kg/h at 48 h.
Results
Mean SBP, SBP-fall and SCr level at arrival were 180 mmHg, 29.4%, and 1.21 mg/dL, respectively. Sixty-six patients experienced AKI. There were no significant differences in age, NYHA functional class, SBP and SCr at admission between AKI and Non-AKI group. AKI group had the greater SBP-fall compared with Non-AKI (36.7%versus 27.2%, p≤0.0001). Logistic regression analyses revealed that SBP-fall had an independent predictor of AKI (Table). In addition, SBP-fall had positive association with the number of concomitant used intravenous vasodilators in first 6 h (Figure).

Abstract
A preventive measure for debonding has not been established and is highly desirable to improve the survival rate of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) composite resin (CR) crowns. The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of deep learning with a convolution neural network (CNN) method to predict the debonding probability of CAD/CAM CR crowns from 2-dimensional images captured from 3-dimensional (3D) stereolithography models of a die scanned by a 3D oral scanner. All cases of CAD/CAM CR crowns were manufactured from April 2014 to November 2015 at the Division of Prosthodontics, Osaka University Dental Hospital (Ethical Review Board at Osaka University, approval H27-E11). The data set consisted of a total of 24 cases: 12 trouble-free and 12 debonding as known labels. A total of 8,640 images were randomly divided into 6,480 training and validation images and 2,160 test images. Deep learning with a CNN method was conducted to develop a learning model to predict the debonding probability. The prediction accuracy, precision, recall, F-measure, receiver operating characteristic, and area under the curve of the learning model were assessed for the test images. Also, the mean calculation time was measured during the prediction for the test images. The prediction accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure values of deep learning with a CNN method for the prediction of the debonding probability were 98.5%, 97.0%, 100%, and 0.985, respectively. The mean calculation time was 2 ms/step for 2,160 test images. The area under the curve was 0.998. Artificial intelligence (AI) technology-that is, the deep learning with a CNN method established in this study-demonstrated considerably good performance in terms of predicting the debonding probability of a CAD/CAM CR crown with 3D stereolithography models of a die scanned from patients.

Abstract
Certain patients with facial deformities require superior repositioning of the maxilla via Le Fort I osteotomy; however, the magnitude of superior repositioning of the maxilla is often less than expected. In this study, the correlation between the accuracy of superior repositioning of the maxilla and the anatomical form of the maxillary posterior region was examined. Seventy-five patients who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy without forward movement of the maxilla but with superior repositioning of the maxilla were included in this study. The bone volume around the descending palatine artery (DPA), the angle of the junction between the pterygoid process and the tuberosity, and the distance between the upper second molar and the pterygoid process were measured via three-dimensional analysis. A significant negative correlation (r=-0.566) was found between the bone volume around the DPA and the ratio of repositioning (actual movement divided by expected movement). It is possible that the superior repositioning of the maxilla expected prior to surgery was not sufficiently attained because of the large volume of bone around the DPA. The results of this study show that in some patients, superior repositioning was not achieved at the expected level because of bone interference attributable to the anatomical form of the maxillary posterior region.
