Abstract
BACKGROUND Efficacy of necitumumab [recombinant human monoclonal antibody that blocks the ligand binding epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)] in patients with squamous (SQ) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been confirmed in two randomized clinical trials (SQUIRE and JFCM). This study evaluated the association between efficacy and initial skin toxicity with necitumumab treatment by analyzing pooled data from two clinical trials (SQUIRE and JFCM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data of 635 patients with SQ-NSCLC (intent-to-treat population) treated with necitumumab plus gemcitabine and cisplatin (N + GC) were pooled from two clinical trials (SQUIRE and JFCM). The relationship between skin toxicities developed by the end of the second cycle and efficacy was evaluated. Efficacy endpoints included overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and objective response rate (ORR). Univariate and multivariate analyses were carried out for these endpoints. RESULTS OS and ORR were associated with skin toxicity, whereas PFS was not. Patients with grade ≥2 or grade 1 skin toxicity had significantly longer OS compared to patients without skin toxicity (grade 0) in the N + GC group [median = 15.0 (grade ≥2); 12.7 (grade 1); 9.4 (grade 0) months; hazard ratio (HR) = 0.51 (grade ≥2 to grade 0); 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.40-0.64, P < 0.001 and HR = 0.64 (grade 1 to grade 0); 95% CI 0.52-0.80, P < 0.001]. In multivariate analysis, OS was significantly associated with skin toxicity. CONCLUSIONS A significant association was found between necitumumab-induced skin toxicity and efficacy. These results are consistent with the previously reported association between other EGFR inhibitors-induced skin toxicity and efficacy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Implanted pacemakers (PM) would decrease the detection of lung nodules in chest computed tomography (CT) due to the metal artifact. This study aimed to explore the computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) detectability of pulmonary nodules for the patients implanted with PMs in low- and ultra-low-dose chest CT screening. METHODS Four different sizes of artificial nodules were placed in an anthropomorphic chest phantom with two alternative diameters utilized. A commercially available PM was placed on the surface of the left chest wall of the phantom. The image acquisitions were performed with 120 kV and 150 kV with a dedicated selective photon shield made of tin filter (Sn150 kV) at low- and ultra-low- radiation doses (1.0 and 0.5 mGy of volume CT dose index), and reconstructed with and without Iterative Metal Artifact Reduction (iMAR, Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany). The relative artifact index (AIr) was calculated as an index of metal artifacts, and the nodule detectability was evaluated with a CAD system. RESULTS Sn150 kV reduced AIr in all acquisitions when comparing 120 kV and Sn150 kV. Although PM reduced the detectability of nodules, Sn150 kV showed higher detectability compared to 120 kV. The use of iMAR showed inconsistent results in nodule detectability. CONCLUSION Sn150 kV reduced PM-induced metal artifacts and improved nodule detectability with CAD compared to 120 kV acquisition in many conditions including low and ultra-low doses and large phantoms, but iMAR did not improve the detectability. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Based on the results of the current phantom study, low and ultra-low dose with Sn150 kV acquisition reduced PM-induced metal artifacts and improved nodule detectability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate bond performance of various resin luting cement (RLC) systems on enamel and dentin in different etching modes and to compare the RLC-tooth interface morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). METHODS AND MATERIALS The self-adhesive RLC systems used in combination with universal adhesives were as follows: Scotchbond Universal Adhesive Plus + RelyX Universal (3M Oral Care) and Clearfil Universal Bond Quick ER + SA Luting Multi (Kuraray Noritake Dental). These RLC systems were also used alone as self-adhesive RLC systems without universal adhesives (self-adhesive mode). The conventional RLC systems for comparison materials were as follows: BeautiBond Xtream + ResiCem EX (Shofu) and Tooth Primer + Panavia V5 (Kuraray Noritake Dental). Twelve specimens were prepared for each group to measure shear bond strength (SBS) in different etching modes. A stainless-steel rod was used as a substitute for indirect restorations. Bonded specimens were allocated to baseline (stored for 24 hours) and artificially aged (thermocycling [TC] for 10,000 cycles) groups. Representative treated tooth surfaces and RLC-tooth interfaces were observed using SEM. RESULTS Three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that all the factors (etching mode, storage period, and RLC system) had a significant influence on the enamel SBS values (p<0.05). Enamel SBS was significantly higher in etch-&-rinse (ER) mode than in self-etch (SE) mode, regardless of RLC system or storage period. Three-way ANOVA showed that all the factors had a significant influence on the dentin SBS values (p<0.001). Most RLC systems showed significantly higher dentin SBS in SE mode than in ER mode, regardless of storage period. However, the combination with Scotchbond Universal Adhesive Plus and RelyX Universal showed no significant difference in SBS values between etching modes at the baseline and showed a significantly higher SBS value in ER mode than in SE mode after TC. CONCLUSIONS The self-adhesive RLC systems with universal adhesives tended to show higher enamel and dentin bond performance than the self-adhesive RLC systems alone. The morphology of treated tooth surfaces and resin cement-tooth interfaces were dependent on the RLC system and etching mode used. The RLC systems with primer application showed a thin, high-density layer above the intact dentin in both etching modes, suggesting chemical interaction.

Abstract
To detect and track structural changes in atomic nuclei, the systematic study of nuclear levels with firm spin-parity assignments is important. While linear polarization measurements have been applied to determine the electromagnetic character of gamma-ray transitions, the applicable range is strongly limited due to the low efficiency of the detection system. The multi-layer Cadmium-Telluride (CdTe) Compton camera can be a state-of-the-art gamma-ray polarimeter for nuclear spectroscopy with the high position sensitivity and the detection efficiency. We demonstrated the capability to operate this detector as a reliable gamma-ray polarimeter by using polarized 847-keV gamma rays produced by the [Formula: see text]([Formula: see text]) reaction. By combining the experimental data and simulated calculations, the modulation curve for the gamma ray was successfully obtained. A remarkably high polarization sensitivity was achieved, compatible with a reasonable detection efficiency. Based on the obtained results, a possible future gamma-ray polarimetery is discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) causes voiding lower urinary tract symptoms (vLUTS). In the present study, we investigated the association between vLUTS and pelvic organ mobility (POM), including relevant supportive structures, on dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). METHODS We included 118 patients who had POP of stage II or less before straining and stage III or more when straining during dMRI. The presence of vLUTS and overactive bladder (OAB) was determined by a voiding subscore of the International Prostate Symptom Score (vIPSS) ≥5 and the OAB symptom score, respectively. POM was measured by dMRI before and during straining, and patients with and without vLUTS as well as patients with and without vLUTS and/or OAB were compared. p < .05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS According to vIPSS, 42 patients (35.6%) had vLUTS. On dMRI, patients with vLUTS showed a significantly more ventral position and/or movement of the bladder and cervix. Moreover, patients with vLUTS and OAB had significantly more ventral movement of the uterine cervix and a larger strain on imaginary uterosacral and cardinal ligaments than those without these symptoms. In addition, patients with vLUTS and OAB had significantly higher vIPSS than those with vLUTS alone. CONCLUSIONS vLUTS may be associated with the proximity of the bladder and cervix to the pubic bone and consequent compression of the urethra by the prolapsed organs. vLUTS with OAB might indicate more advanced lower urinary tract dysfunction than vLUTS alone.

Abstract
This study evaluated the stability of bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) associated with positional plagiocephaly and temporal and masseter muscles using posteroanterior cephalogram analysis and three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT). This retrospective cohort study included 31 patients who underwent BSSRO for mandibular asymmetry. The cranial vault asymmetry index (CVAI) and the cephalic index were used as indicators of positional plagiocephaly. The distance from the vertical reference line to the menton (Me) was measured on posteroanterior cephalograms immediately and 1 year after surgery, and postoperative stability was assessed. Temporal and masseter muscles were constructed from 3D-CT data and their volumes were measured. Simple regression analysis showed a significant correlation between postoperative changes in the vertical reference line to the Me and the CVAI (R = 0.56, p = 0.001), the amount of surgical movement in the vertical reference line to the Me (R = 0.41, p = 0.023), and the variable temporal muscle volume (R = 0.27, p = 0.028). There was no significant correlation between postoperative changes in the vertical reference line to the Me and the cephalic index (R = 0.093, p = 0.62) and variable masseter muscle volume (R = 0.16, p = 0.38). According to multivariate analysis, CVAI (p = 0.003) and amount of surgical movement in the vertical reference line to the Me (p = 0.014) were significant predictors of postoperative change in the vertical reference line to the Me. Positional plagiocephaly and amount of surgical movement influence lateral skeletal stability following BSSRO for mandibular asymmetry.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) delivers radiation dose to the bone marrow and lymph nodal region while reducing the dose to non-target organs. We conducted a dose-escalation study of TMLI to improve treatment outcomes while reducing OAR doses using intensity-modulated radiation therapy. However, this dose escalation strategy may cause increasing risk of recurrence and adverse events because of dose uniformity compromises of the target. We hypothesized that the homogeneity index (HI) could become worse with increased target's dose while maintaining reduced OAR doses for the nine patients enrolled in the TMLI phase Ⅰ clinical trial. MATERIALS/METHODS Nine patients treated with TMLI using a treatment delivery system from September 2019 to August 2021 were included. The prescribed doses were 14 Gy/6 fr, 16 Gy/6 fr, and 18 Gy/6 fr twice daily for 3 days, with three patients allocated each prescription. Bone marrow, lymph nodal region, spleen, testis, brain, and liver were designated as targets. The bone marrow was divided into eight parts (see Table); an individual PTV margin was added to each structure. We intended to deliver the D80% prescription dose for PTV. For the brain and liver, the prescribed dose was 12 Gy in consideration of function preservation. Lenses, oral cavity, parotid glands, lungs, heart, esophagus, stomach, kidneys, intestines, and breasts were defined as OAR. Targets were evaluated with HI that was calculated using the formula HI = (D2%-D98%)/D50%, based on ICRU report 83. For OARs, Dmax, D2%, D10%, and mean dose constraint were evaluated. RESULTS The table lists HI for the PTV_ALL and each target. The HI of PTV_ALL rose with increasing prescription dose and was highest at 18 Gy. The highest HI was 0.632 for PTV_Rib at 18 Gy, and the lowest HI was 0.045 for PTV_testis at 14 Gy. OAR Dose constraints were achieved in all patients. The average OAR doses in all cases for lenses, oral cavity, parotid glands, lungs, heart, esophagus, intestines, kidneys, and breast were 4.7±0.80, 4.4±0.51, 6.7±0.48, 7.6±0.22, 7.8±0.19, 6.7±0.18, 7.4±1.12, 6.9±0.96, and 14.7 Gy, respectively. The Dmax of the lenes, D2% of the esophagus, and D10% of the stomach were 7.2 ± 1.09, 11.5 ± 0.47, and 10.9 ± 0.98 Gy, respectively. CONCLUSION In the TMLI phase I clinical trial, we evaluated the dose uniformity to the targets and the OAR dose constraints. Although the HI for PTV_ALL worsened with increasing prescription dose, compliance with OAR dose constraints was achieved in all patients.

Abstract
As presently conceptualised, the artificial placenta (AP) is an experimental life support platform for extremely preterm infants (i.e. 400-600 g; 21-23+6 weeks of gestation) born at the border of viability. It is based around the oxygenation of the periviable fetus using gas-exchangers connected to the fetal vasculature. In this system, the lung remains fluid-filled and the fetus remains in a quiescent state. The AP has been in development for some sixty years. Over this time, animal experimental models have evolved iteratively from employing external pump-driven systems used to support comparatively mature fetuses (generally goats or sheep) to platforms driven by the fetal heart and used successfully to maintain extremely premature fetuses weighing around 600 g. Simultaneously, sizable advances in neonatal and obstetric care mean that the nature of a potential candidate patient for this therapy, and thus the threshold success level for justifying its adoption, have both changed markedly since this approach was first conceived. Five landmark breakthroughs have occurred over the developmental history of the AP: i) the first human studies reported in the 1950's; ii) foundation animal studies reported in the 1960's; iii) the first extended use of AP technology combined with fetal pulmonary resuscitation reported in the 1990s; iv) the development of AP systems powered by the fetal heart reported in the 2000's; and v) the adaption of this technology to maintain extremely preterm fetuses (i.e. 500-600 g body weight) reported in the 2010's. Using this framework, the present paper will provide a review of the developmental history of this long-running experimental system and up-to-date assessment of the published field today. With the apparent acceleration of AP technology towards clinical application, there has been an increase in the attention paid to the field, along with some inaccurate commentary regarding its potential application and merits. Additionally, this paper will address several misrepresentations regarding the potential application of AP technology that serve to distract from the significant potential of this approach to greatly improve outcomes for extremely preterm infants born at or close to the present border of viability.

Abstract
We report on an Er-doped fiber (EDF)-laser-based dual-comb system that allows us to perform triggerless asynchronous optical sampling pump-probe measurements of ultrafast demagnetization and spin precession in magnetic materials. Because the oscillation frequencies of the two frequency-comb light sources are highly stabilized, the pulse-to-pulse timing jitter is sufficiently suppressed, and data accumulation without any trigger signals is possible. To effectively induce spin precession in ferromagnetic thin films, the spectral bandwidth of the output of one of the EDF frequency comb sources is broadened by a highly nonlinear fiber and then amplified at a wavelength of about 1030 nm by a Yb-doped fiber amplifier. The output of the other frequency comb source is converted to about 775 nm by second harmonic generation. We used this system to observe ultrafast demagnetization and spin precession dynamics on the picosecond and nanosecond time scales in a permalloy thin film. This time-domain spectroscopy system is promising for the rapid characterization of spin-wave generation and propagation dynamics in magnetic materials.

Abstract
To test bound-state quantum electrodynamics (BSQED) in the strong-field regime, we have performed high precision x-ray spectroscopy of the 5g-4f and 5f- 4d transitions (BSQED contribution of 2.4 and 5.2 eV, respectively) of muonic neon atoms in the low-pressure gas phase without bound electrons. Muonic atoms have been recently proposed as an alternative to few-electron high-Z ions for BSQED tests by focusing on circular Rydberg states where nuclear contributions are negligibly small. We determined the 5g_{9/2}- 4f_{7/2} transition energy to be 6297.08±0.04(stat)±0.13(syst) eV using superconducting transition-edge sensor microcalorimeters (5.2-5.5 eV FWHM resolution), which agrees well with the most advanced BSQED theoretical prediction of 6297.26 eV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the age-specific effect of transurethral holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) on overactive bladder (OAB). METHODS A total of 186 consecutive patients who underwent HoLEP were included. They were divided into three groups: patients aged less than 65 years, between 65 and 74, and 75 or older. The OAB symptom score as well as other relevant variables of lower urinary tract symptoms and function were assessed before and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. Age-specific prevalence of OAB, the proportion of resolution of OAB, and de novo OAB were evaluated. RESULTS The mean age of patients was 70.7 years, and the mean total prostate volume was 75.8 ml. The mean OAB symptom scores before surgery of patients aged less than 65 years, between 65 and 74, and 75 or older were 6.0, 5.2, and 5.7, respectively. At 12 months after surgery, the scores for the respective groups had significantly decreased to 2.1, 2.5, and 3.5. The prevalence of OAB based on the score in the respective groups was 45.8%, 56.9%, and 54.0% (p = .6391) preoperatively and 9.1%, 11.3%, and 15.8% at 12 months after the surgery (p = .7613). Of those with preoperative OAB, 75.0%, 79.2%, and 75.0% of the respective groups showed resolution of OAB at 12 months postoperatively (p = .9427). CONCLUSIONS In candidates for surgical deobstruction of benign prostatic hyperplasia, HoLEP has potential to improve OAB symptoms regardless of age.

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

Abstract
We report a search for cosmic-ray boosted dark matter with protons using the 0.37 megaton×years data collected at Super-Kamiokande experiment during the 1996-2018 period (SKI-IV phase). We searched for an excess of proton recoils above the atmospheric neutrino background from the vicinity of the Galactic Center. No such excess is observed, and limits are calculated for two reference models of dark matter with either a constant interaction cross section or through a scalar mediator. This is the first experimental search for boosted dark matter with hadrons using directional information. The results present the most stringent limits on cosmic-ray boosted dark matter and exclude the dark matter-nucleon elastic scattering cross section between 10^{-33}cm^{2} and 10^{-27}cm^{2} for dark matter mass from 1 MeV/c^{2} to 300 MeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Focal intestinal perforation (FIP) is a devastating complication of premature birth, and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants are at highest risk. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and portal vein (PV) blood flow velocities to investigate the association between intestinal blood flow and FIP. In addition, the herbal formula Daikenchuto (TJ-100) is expected to improve intestinal blood flow disorders; therefore, we evaluated its effect. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study of 15 ELBW infants from January 2020 to August 2021. Measured variables included birth weight, 5-minute Apgar score, time of oral feeding initiation, ductus arteriosus (PDA) closure (percent), diastolic and systolic blood pressure, SMA and PV blood flow velocity, and FIP onset data. Fifteen infants were divided into three groups: a non-surgery group (Group I; 6), a surgery group with FIP (Group II; 4), and a TJ-100 administration group (Group III; 5). The main outcome parameters included SMA and PV blood flow velocities with TJ-100. RESULTS SMA and PV blood flow differed significantly for the SMA of Group I and the SMA and PV of Group III (P < 0.01, P = 0.01, and P = 0.04, respectively). There was a correlation between SMA and PV in Group III (P = 0.03). CONCLUSION TJ-100 may increase SMA and PV blood flow and improve intestinal blood flow in ELBW infants at risk of FIP. Therefore, the effects of TJ-100 should undergo further study.

P-131 The fate of irregularly divided blastomeres: why does “Direct cleavage” reduce blastocyst development rate but not blastocyst euploid rate? Hum Reprod 2022.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
How do the blastomeres formed by direct cleavage (dynamics of one cell dividing into three or more cells) subsequently develop?
Summary answer
About half of the blastomeres by direct cleavage did not form blastocysts.
What is known already
There are many reports that embryos with direct cleavage in the early development have a lower blastocyst development rate because direct cleavage produces chromosomal abnormal cells. However, when such embryos develop into blastocysts, there have been some reports that the transfer pregnancy rate and euploid rate did not decrease, but the reasons for this have not been clarified.
Study design, size, duration
This is a retrospective study of 89 blastocysts obtained during 2013-18. These embryos were those that patients requested to be discarded and consented to be used in this study. All target embryos were time-lapse monitored by EmbryoScope (Vitrolife, Sweden), and several trophectoderms were biopsied and examined for euploidy.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The target embryos were classified into three groups: embryos with normal first and second cleavage (NC group), embryos with irregular division (one cell dividing into three or more cells) called direct cleavage at the first cleavage (DC1 group), and embryos with direct cleavage of one blastomere at the second cleavage (DC2 group). It was recorded whether the blastomeres of the embryos subsequently developed into blastocysts or not. NGS analysis was performed on the embryos.
Main results and the role of chance
The target embryos were classified as 48 in the NC group, 32 in the DC1 group, and 9 in the DC2 group. Whether the blastomeres in the target embryos subsequently formed blastocysts or not was recorded one by one by time-lapse images, resulting in the blastomeres’ blastocyst formation rate was 95.1% in the NC group and 55.9% in the DC1 group, which was significantly lower in the DC1 group (P < 0.01). In the DC2 group, blastomeres formed by normal division and those by direct cleavage at the second cleavage were recorded separately, and the blastocyst formation rate was 90.8% for normal cleavage blastomeres and 46.0% for direct cleavage blastomeres, with significantly lower rates for direct cleavage blastomeres (P < 0.01). Therefore, about half of the blastomeres generated by direct cleavage at the first or second cleavage did not form blastocysts. The results of NGS analysis were as follows: NC group: 35.4% euploid, 45.8% aneuploid, and 18.8% mosaic; DC1 group: 37.5%, 53.1%, and 9.4%, respectively; and DC2 group: 55.6%, 33.3%, and 11.1%, respectively. There was no significant difference in any of the items, suggesting that direct cleavage does not affect the euploidy of blastocysts.
Limitations, reasons for caution
For the purpose of NGS analysis, all the target embryos in this study were blastocysts, but if all the cultured embryos were included, arrested embryos would be included, which would probably result in more blastomeres formed by direct cleavage not developing into blastocysts.
Wider implications of the findings
The blastomeres generated by direct cleavage were often excluded from blastocyst formation. This may be an exclusion of chromosomally abnormal cells and may be one of the reasons why direct cleavage decreases blastocyst development rate but does not decrease blastocyst euploid rate.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Is it possible to improve the quality of oocytes with delayed maturation or aging?
Summary answer
Yes, modification of oocyte microtubules at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage inhibits abnormal chromosome separation in in-vitro maturation and enhances early cleavage.
What is known already
Oocyte aging is characterized by an increase of aneuploidy and a decrease of the developmental potency with maternal ages, which will results in low frequencies of the blastocyte formation and implantation. In addition to the 1st meiotic division, it has become clear that the 2nd meiotic division also significantly contributes to aneuploidy production which is followed by pre-implantation embryo loss. However, no method for overcoming the oocyte aging has been established.
Study design, size, duration
Human GV oocytes with delayed maturation obtained from consented female patients were used. Mouse GV oocytes collected from 9-15 month old ICR mice were also used. After exposure to Taxol for 1hr, the oocytes were matured in vitro and examined cytogenetically and cytologically at the GV stage, the MII stage and pronuclear stage.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
RNA transcripts of the GV stage oocytes were compared before and after Taxol exposure with microarray in both species. Chromosome aberrations at the MII stage and blastocyst formation rate were examined in human IVM oocytes. Mouse IVM oocytes were evaluated on 2nd polar body (PB) extrusion and O2 consumption (CRAS3.0, Crino Co Inc.) at the pronuclear stage after parthenogenetic activation with electro-stimulation.
Main results and the role of chance
After Taxol treatment, premature chromosome separation was significantly reduced from 96% to 7% and the blastocyst formation rate increased from 3% to 16% in human. In mice, normal PB extrusion rate increased from 29% to 92%, and oxygen consumption was higher in some pronuclear oocytes. In human GV oocytes, taxol treatment altered gene expression only in a few factors related to chromosome attachment and segregation. On the other hand, in mouse GV oocytes, gene expression was significantly altered by oocyte aging and Taxol treatment.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The present results were obtained in human GV oocytes with delayed maturation which were collected after PMS and HCG administrations. It is not clear whether Taxol is effective on the GV oocytes collected before HCG administration.
Wider implications of the findings
Our results indicate that the combination of biochemical modification and IVM in the GV stage may be able to restore the aging of human oocytes.

Abstract
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft investigated the C-type (carbonaceous) asteroid (162173) Ryugu. The mission performed two landing operations to collect samples of surface and subsurface material, the latter exposed by an artificial impact. We present images of the second touchdown site, finding that ejecta from the impact crater was present at the sample location. Surface pebbles at both landing sites show morphological variations ranging from rugged to smooth, similar to Ryugu's boulders, and shapes from quasi-spherical to flattened. The samples were returned to Earth on 6 December 2020. We describe the morphology of >5 grams of returned pebbles and sand. Their diverse color, shape, and structure are consistent with the observed materials of Ryugu; we conclude that they are a representative sample of the asteroid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Loss-of-function homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in IL36RN, which encodes interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36Ra), has been implicated in the pathogenesis of skin disorders. However, the pathogenic role of IL-36Ra in cutaneous ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unclear. OBJECTIVES We investigated the role of IL36Ra in cutaneous I/R injury. METHODS We examined I/R injury in Il36rn-/- mice. The area of wounds, numbers of infiltrated cells, apoptotic cells and neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation were assessed. The expression levels of various genes were analysed using real-time RT-PCR. The expression of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), an endogenous toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 ligand, was confirmed using immunohistology, and serum HMGB1 levels were measured by ELISA. Cytokine production by stimulated cultured J774A.1 and HaCaT cells was examined. RESULTS IL-36Ra deficiency resulted in significantly delayed wound healing and increased neutrophil and macrophage infiltration into the wound tissues. Il36rn-/- mice had increased mRNA expression levels of CXCL1, CXCL2, CCL4, TNF-α, TGF-β, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-36γ relative to wild-type mice. Apoptosis was identified in keratinocytes by TUNEL assay. HMGB1 expression in the I/R site was decreased in both keratinocytes and adnexal cells, while serum HMGB1 levels were significantly elevated after reperfusion. The mRNA levels of various cytokines, including IL-1β, were elevated in J774A.1 cells through TLR4 signalling by HMGB1 stimulation. In addition, HaCaT cells stimulated with IL-1β showed significantly increased CXCL1, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-36β and IL-36γ mRNA expression. Furthermore, NET formation was increased by IL-36Ra deficiency. Finally, either the blockade of TLR4 signalling by TAK-242 or inhibition of NET formation by Cl-amidine normalized exacerbated I/R injury in Il36rn-/- mice. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that IL-36Ra deficiency exacerbates cutaneous I/R injury due to excessive inflammatory cell recruitment, NET formation, and excessive cytokine and chemokine production via the TLR4 pathway by HMGB1 released from epidermal apoptotic cells.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hypochloremia is associated with a poor prognosis of heart failure (HF) patients. This phenomenon is sustained even in HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Serum chloride level is known to be affected by serum renin secretion; however, this relationship is one of the least investigated field in HF patients. Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibitor is recommended as a first-line medication for HF patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, but no prior studies of RAS inhibitors have achieved to improve the prognosis of HFpEF patients.
Purpose
We investigated the relationship between baseline serum chloride level and the prognostic impact of RAS inhibitor in HFpEF patients.
Methods
This is an observational study including 1,913 consecutive patients who admitted to hospital due to worsening of HF and discharged alive in a single university hospital. After excluding patients who received regular hemodialysis and whose left ventricular ejection fraction were under 50%, 506 HFpEF patients were ultimately analyzed. They were categorized into tertiles by serum chloride levels at discharge (T1: −100 mEq/L, T2: 101–104 mEq/L, T3: 105- mEq/L), and patients in each category were further divided into subgroups depending on the prescription of RAS inhibitor at discharge (RAS inhibitor group and Non-RAS inhibitor group). The primary endpoint of this study was death from any cause.
Results
During the observation period with 479 days of median follow-up, 77 (15.2%) died. Patients in the RAS inhibitor group had significantly better prognosis than those in the Non-RAS inhibitor group in T1 category (Log-rank: p=0.003, Figure). In contrast, there was no statistical difference in the mortality between the RAS inhibitor group and Non-RAS inhibitor group in T2 and T3 categories (Log-rank: p=0.15, p=0.81, respectively, Figure). Multivariate Cox regression analysis in T1 category revealed that taking RAS inhibitor at discharge was independently associated with a lower mortality rate, even after the adjustment of diverse covariates (hazard ratio: 0.40, 95% confidence interval: 0.20–0.80).
Conclusion
In this observational study, the administration of RAS inhibitor was associated with an improved prognosis of HFpEF patients only in low serum chloride level at discharge. Therapeutic strategy focusing on the chloride level may be one of the promising options to find the light on a unintervenable prognosis of HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Since atrial functional tricuspid regurgitation (AF-TR) is associated with increased heart failure and mortality, the management of AF-TR is clinically important. Atrial fibrillation (AF) plays the main role in AF-TR. However, the effectiveness of catheter ablation (CA) and mechanism of improvement of AF-TR haven't been fully evaluated.
Purpose
We sought to investigate the impact of CA for AF on AF-TR in patients with moderate or more TR.
Methods
We retrospectively investigated consecutive 2685 patients with AF who received CA from February 2004 to December 2019 in Japan. The current study population consisted of 102 patients with moderate or greater TR who underwent CA for AF. The echocardiographic parameters were compared between pre-ablation and post-ablation transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), and the recurrence rate of AF/ atrial tachycardia (AT) was measured.
Results
The mean age was 73.2 years, 53% were women. TR severity and TR jet area significantly improved after CA for AF (TR jet area: 5.8 [3.9–7.6] cm2 to 2.0 [1.1–3.0] cm2, p<0.001). In addition, mitral regurgitation (MR) jet area, left atrial (LA) area, mitral valve diameter, right ventricular (RV) end-diastolic area, right atrial (RA) area, tricuspid valve (TV) diameter decreased after CA (p<0.001, <0.001, <0.001, = 0.02, <0.001, and <0.001, respectively). There was no significant difference between one-year recurrence of AF/AT and TR severity at pre-ablation TTE (moderate 28.6%, moderate to severe 37.2%, and severe 31.6%, p=0.72).
Conclusions
TR severity and jet area improved after CA in patients with AF and moderate or more TR. RV size, RA size, TV diameter also decreased after CA, which may be associated with TR improvement. There was no significant difference between one-year recurrence of AF/AT and TR severity at pre-ablation TTE.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
As the first-line medications, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitor (RAASi) and β-blocker provide prognostic benefits in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, the negative inotropic effect of these drugs may destabilize the hemodynamics during hemodialysis (HD) and become prognostically controversial in patients receiving regular HD. Indeed, prior studies have reported the cancellation of the favorable prognostic effects of RAASi and β-blocker in patients with HD. However, it is totally unknown whether the guideline-directed medical therapy affects the prognosis in HF patients receiving regular HD.
Purpose
We aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of RAASi and β-blocker on the cardiovascular (CV) events in HF patients on regular HD.
Methods
This observational study initially included 1,930 consecutive patients who were hospitalized due to HF and discharged alive. Of these, 151 patients who received regular HD were ultimately analyzed. They were classified into 3 groups depending on the prescribing medications at discharge; patients who received none of RAASi or β-blocker (None group: N=19), either RAASi or β-blocker (Either group: N=56), and both RAASi and β-blocker (Both group: N=76). The primary endpoint was a composite of CV death and readmission due to HF.
Results
During the observation period of median 501 (interquartile range: 197–954) days, the primary endpoint occurred in 61 patients (40%). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed the highest rate of composite endpoint in the None group (log-rank for trend: p<0.001, Figure). After adjusting for covariates of age, sex, LVEF, and systolic blood pressure and heart rate at discharge, the hazard ratio (HR) for a composite endpoint was significantly lower in the Either group or Both group than that in the None group [HR: 0.19, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.08–0.45; HR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.06–0.42, respectively].
Conclusions
The prescription of RAASi or β-blocker at discharge was associated with lower adverse CV event rates in patients on regular HD who were hospitalized for HF. In order to improve long-term prognosis of HF patients on HD, we should consider the prescription of RAASi or β-blocker for them if hemodynamics during HD is affordable.

Abstract
Introduction
The recent advances in the treatment for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) have been remarkable, while no therapy has convincingly improved the prognosis in HF patients with preserved (HFpEF) and mid-range (HFmrEF) ejection fraction. Frequent decompensations of HF lead to progressive deterioration of cardiac and renal function, and quality of life. Hence, prior studies have reported that the mortality of HFrEF patients increases as hospitalization for HF repeats. However, it is still unclear whether this trend applies for HFpEF and HFmrEF patients.
Purpose
We aimed to compare the prognostic impact of re-hospitalization due to HF on cardiovascular death (CVD) among HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF patients.
Methods
This observational study included 1,930 consecutive patients who were hospitalized for worsening of HF and discharged alive. Of them, patients who have never or have not been hospitalized for HF at least last 2 years, were finally analyzed. Patients were consisted of the population with HFrEF (EF<40%, n=421), HFmrEF (EF 40–49%, n=202) and HFpEF (EF>50%, n=291). Patients in each EF-classified population were divide into 2 subgroups based on whether patients were re-hospitalized for HF during the observational period, respectively. The primary endpoint of this study was CVD.
Results
During the observation period, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients who were re-hospitalized for HF had higher event rate of CVD in HFrEF group (Log-rank p=0.008, Figure). Even after adjusting with multivariate covariates including age, sex, EF, brain natriuretic peptide and estimated glomerular filtration rate, re-hospitalization for HF was an independent predictor for CVD in HFrEF group (HR: 1.95, 95% CI: 1.11–2.86, p=0.029). However, in HFmrEF group and HFpEF group, there was no significant difference in the rates of CVD between 2 subgroups divided whether patients were re-hospitalized for HF or not (p=0.91, p=0.34, respectively).
Conclusion
Re-hospitalization for HF affected the CVD rate in HFrEF group, but not in HFmrEF and HFpEF groups. The prevention of re-hospitalization for HF is important particularly in HFrEF patients in order to improve cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Renal dysfunction is common in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and is thought to be associated with increased risk of thromboembolic and bleeding events. Once-daily low-dose (15 mg) edoxaban was superior to placebo in preventing stroke or systemic embolic events (S/SEE) without significantly increasing major bleeding events in very elderly (≥80 years) non-valvular AF (NVAF) patients in whom standard oral anticoagulant therapy at approved doses was inappropriate (ELDERCARE-AF trial). Little is known about how renal dysfunction affects the effects of low-dose edoxaban in these patients.
Purpose
We used prespecified subgroup analysis to investigate the relation between renal function (assessed by creatinine clearance, CrCl) and the efficacy and safety of edoxaban in elderly NVAF patients.
Methods
ELDERCARE-AF patients were divided into 3 subgroups according to baseline CrCl: normal renal function/mild dysfunction (CrCl >50 mL/min), moderate renal dysfunction (CrCl ≥30 to ≤50 [“30–50”] mL/min) and severe renal dysfunction (CrCl ≥15 to <30 [“15–30”] mL/min). Primary efficacy and safety endpoints were annualized incidence of S/SEE and ISTH-defined major bleeding, respectively.
Results
Of 984 patients randomized to edoxaban 15 mg or placebo (each group N=492), 681 completed the trial. The 303 discontinuations were due to withdrawal of consent (n=158), death (n=135), or other causes (n=10). Discontinuation rate was the same in the edoxaban and placebo groups. S/SEE incidence in patients with CrCl >50, 30–50 and 15–30 mL/min was 2.0%, 1.3% and 3.5%, respectively, in edoxaban, and 4.4%, 4.6% and 9.7%, respectively, in placebo. In those with CrCl 30–50 and 15–30 mL/min, it was significantly lower in edoxaban than in placebo (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.30 [95% CI, 0.10–0.91], p=0.03; and 0.33 [95% CI, 0.16–0.71], p<0.01, respectively). Incidence of major bleeding in patients with CrCl >50, 30–50 and 15–30 mL/min was 1.0%, 1.8% and 6.2%, respectively, in edoxaban, and 0.9%, 1.5% and 2.4%, respectively, in placebo. Incidence of major bleeding in those with CrCl 15–30 mL/min was higher in edoxaban but not significantly (adjusted HR, 2.53 [95% CI, 0.96–6.72], p=0.062). Incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with CrCl 15–30 mL/min was 4.3% in edoxaban and 1.6% in placebo (adjusted HR, 2.61 [95% CI, 0.79–8.68], p=0.12). Incidence of all-cause death in patients with CrCl >50, 30–50 and 15–30 mL/min was 5.8%, 6.8% and 15.2%, respectively, in edoxaban, and 7.0%, 6.3% and 15.5%, respectively, in placebo (no significant intergroup differences).
Conclusions
Incidence of S/SEE, major bleeding and all-cause death increased with declining renal function in elderly NVAF patients. Edoxaban 15 mg remained superior to placebo in preventing S/SEE, even in those with moderate to severe renal dysfunction. Incidence of major bleeding in patients with severe renal dysfunction was higher (non-significantly) with edoxaban than with placebo.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
When does blastomere exclusion from compaction increase and what effect does it have on the embryo?
Summary answer
More blastomere were excluded from compaction in embryos with irregular cleavage, resulting in lower blastocyst development rates, but no decrease in pregnancy rates at transfer.
What is known already
It has been reported that many of the chromosome analysis results of blastomere excluded from compaction were aneuploid, and pointed out that this exclusion may be related to the repair of blastocyst euploidy, but the effect of the number of excluded blastomere has not been reported.
Study design, size, duration
This is a retrospective study of 578 embryos that developed into morula with time-lapse monitoring by EmbryoScope (Vitrolife) in 2018–2019.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The target embryos were classified into two groups: embryos with normal first and second cleavage (normal cleavage group) and embryos with irregular cleavage (dynamics of one cell dividing into three or more cells), called “direct cleavage”, at either cleavage (DC group), and the number of blastomere excluded from compaction during morula formation was recorded and compared. The blastocyst development rate and single blastocyst transfer pregnancy rates of the two groups were compared.
Main results and the role of chance
There are 286 in the normal cleavage group and 292 in the DC group. The mean number of excluded blastomere was 0.76 and 3.55, respectively, which was significantly higher in the DC group (P < 0.01). Good blastocyst (Gardner classification 4 or higher) development rate was 84.5% (239/283) and 65.8% (181/275), respectively, and high grade blastocyst (Gardner classification BB or higher) development rate was 43.9% (105/239) and 14.9% (27/181) of them, both significantly higher in the normal cleavage group (P < 0.01). The single blastocyst transfer pregnancy rates were 31.6% (25/79) and 32.4% (11/34), and the miscarriage rates were 24.0% (6/25) and 27.3% (3/11), respectively, neither was there a significant difference between the two groups. So, direct cleavage increased the number of blastomere excluded from compaction, decreased the rate of morula to good blastocyst development and reduced blastocyst grade, but did not affect blastocyst transfer pregnancy rate and miscarriage rate.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Please note that all target embryos must have developed into morula or larger (embryos that did not develop into morula will not be included in the study).
Wider implications of the findings: Severe chromosomal aberrant blastomeres formed by direct cleavage were excluded from compaction, and the blastocyst development rate decreased due to a decrease in the amount of viable cells, but it is suggested that this blastomere exclusion mechanism is not related to euploidy after blastocyst development.

Abstract
We observed electronic K x rays emitted from muonic iron atoms using superconducting transition-edge sensor microcalorimeters. The energy resolution of 5.2 eV in FWHM allowed us to observe the asymmetric broad profile of the electronic characteristic Kα and Kβ x rays together with the hypersatellite K^{h}α x rays around 6 keV. This signature reflects the time-dependent screening of the nuclear charge by the negative muon and the L-shell electrons, accompanied by electron side feeding. Assisted by a simulation, these data clearly reveal the electronic K- and L-shell hole production and their temporal evolution on the 10-20 fs scale during the muon cascade process.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are self-assemblies of metal ions and organic ligands, provide a tunable platform to search a new state of matter. A two-dimensional (2D) perfect kagome lattice, whose geometrical frustration is a key to realizing quantum spin liquids, has been formed in the π - d conjugated 2D MOF [Cu3(C6S6)] n (Cu-BHT). The recent discovery of its superconductivity with a critical temperature T c of 0.25 kelvin raises fundamental questions about the nature of electron pairing. Here, we show that Cu-BHT is a strongly correlated unconventional superconductor with extremely low superfluid density. A nonexponential temperature dependence of superfluid density is observed, indicating the possible presence of superconducting gap nodes. The magnitude of superfluid density is much smaller than those in conventional superconductors and follows the Uemura's relation of strongly correlated superconductors. These results imply that the unconventional superconductivity in Cu-BHT originates from electron correlations related to spin fluctuations of kagome lattice.

Background
Quantification of left ventricular (LV) dyssynchrony is of great interest for resynchronization therapy (CRT). Recently, cardiac computed tomography (CCT) is feasible for evaluation of dyssynchrony. Our aim was to assess a novel simplified approach using CCT to quantify LV dyssynchrony.
Methods
We studied 346 consecutive patients with a wide range of QRS width and ejection fractions (EF). Electrocardiogram-gated contrast-enhanced 256-slice multidetector CT (Brilliance 256 iCT, Philips Medical Systems) was performed before CRT. After CCT scan, the LV endocardial boundaries from short-axis images reconstructed at 5% increments of cardiac cycle were automatically detected, and a time from R-wave to maximal wall motion was calculated for each of the 16 standardized segments for all slices using software "Myocardial Contraction Map" (Argus, Inc Ehime, Japan). The standard deviation of all segments modified by mean heart rate (%SD) was respectively calculated as the global parameter of dyssynchrony. LVEF was also measured using MDCT.
Results
%SD was feasible in all patients, respectably. %SD was significantly different between the different QRS duration groups; narrow QRS (<120ms): 9 ± 5%, relatively wide QRS (120-150 ms): 11 ± 6%, and significantly wide QRS (>150 ms): 14 ± 7% (p <0.001). Moreover, there was significantly difference in %SD between the different morphology groups; normal: 9 ± 7%, Non-left bundle branch block (Non-LBBB): 10 ± 6%, LBBB: 17 ± 7% (p <0.001).
Conclusion
This novel simplified approach by CCT can quantify dyssynchrony in different QRS duration and morphology groups. This method has promise for clinical applications to the evaluation of patients for CRT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) with Kasabach-Merrit syndrome from a large hepatic hemangioma is life-threatening. We report a case of giant hepatic hemangioma of the newborn with KMS. RESULTS The patient was born at 37 gestational weeks and 2 days via cesarean section; weight at birth was 2952 g. Congenital duodenal atresia was noted during the fetal period. DIC developed after delivery and a giant liver hemangioma was diagnosed via abdominal CT. The cause of DIC was Kasabach-Merritt syndrome owing to a giant hepatic hemangioma. First, combination therapy of 2 mg/kg/day of prednisolone and 0.2 mg/kg/day of propranolol was initiated form enterostomy. However, the size of the hepatic hemangioma did not alter, as observed via image evaluation. Therefore, 0.3 mg/kg/day of everolimus was administered frorm enterostomy. Subsequently, the size of the hepatic hemangioma was assessed via image evaluation. Although it did not alter, blood flow to the hepatic hemangioma decreased and thrombocytopenia was also suppressed. We performed hepatic lateral segmentectomy, radical operation for duodenal atresia. The pathological diagnosis of the removed tumor was infantile hemangioma. CONCLUSION We report everolimus may be useful when PSL and propranolol are ineffective.

Abstract
Terrestrial exoplanets orbiting within or near their host stars’ habitable zone are potentially apt for life. It has been proposed that time-series measurements of reflected starlight from such planets will reveal their rotational period, main surface features and some atmospheric information. From imagery obtained with the Akatsuki spacecraft, here we show that Venus’ brightness at 283, 365, and 2020 nm is modulated by one or both of two periods of 3.7 and 4.6 days, and typical amplitudes <10% but occasional events of 20–40%. The modulations are unrelated to the solid-body rotation; they are caused by planetary-scale waves superimposed on the super-rotating winds. Here we propose that two modulation periods whose ratio of large-to-small values is not an integer number imply the existence of an atmosphere if detected at an exoplanet, but it remains ambiguous whether the atmosphere is optically thin or thick, as for Earth or Venus respectively. Multi-wavelength and long temporal baseline observations may be required to decide between these scenarios. Ultimately, Venus represents a false positive for interpretations of brightness modulations of terrestrial exoplanets in terms of surface features. Establishing diagnostics for terrestrial exoplanets are crucial for their characterization. Here, the authors show brightness modulations of Venus are caused by planetary-scale waves superimposed on the super-rotating winds can be used to detect existence of an atmosphere if detected at an exoplanet.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The degree of mechanical dyssynchrony has been suggested as a predictor for long-term survival after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). There have been little reports of dyssynchrony assessment with the use of cardiac computed tomography (CCT).
Methods
We studied 35 heart failure (HF) patients (average age 67±10 years) referred for CRT with NYHA III-IV heart failure, left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) 20±10% (all ≤35%), and QRS duration 156±22 ms (all ≥120ms). Electrocardiogram-gated contrast-enhanced 256-slice multidetector CT was performed before CRT. Based on CCT, the LV endocardial boundaries from short-axis images reconstructed at 5% increments of cardiac cycle were automatically detected, and the time from R-wave to maximal wall motion was calculated for each of the 16 standardized segments for all slices using software “Myocardial Contraction Map”. The standard deviation modified by mean heart rate (%SD) was respectively calculated as the global parameter of dyssynchrony. LVEF was also measured using MDCT. The predefined primary end-point was the first HF hospitalization or death over 2 years.
Results
%SD was feasible in all patients, respectably. There were 16 events over 2 years; 11 HF hospitalizations and 5 deaths. Patients with %SD ≥22% (optimal cutoff for outcome by ROC curve analysis) had a better clinical outcome than patients with %SD <22% (p=0.01, Figure).
Conclusion
Patients who had %SD ≥22% assessed by MDCT had a particularly favorable event-free survival following CRT, and this appears to be an important prognostic marker.

Abstract
We investigate spin dynamics of microstates in artificial spin ice (ASI) in Ni_{81}Fe_{19} nanomagnets arranged in an interconnected kagome lattice using microfocus Brillouin light scattering, broadband ferromagnetic resonance, magnetic force microscopy, x-ray photoemission electron microscopy, and simulations. We experimentally reconfigure microstates in ASI using a 2D vector field protocol and apply microwave-assisted switching to intentionally trigger reversal. Our work is key for the creation of avalanches inside the kagome ASI and reprogrammable magnonics based on ASIs.

Abstract
We investigate the forces and atmosphere-ionosphere coupling that create atmospheric dynamo currents using two rockets launched nearly simultaneously on 4 July 2013 from Wallops Island (USA), during daytime Sq conditions with ΔH of -30 nT. One rocket released a vapor trail observed from an airplane which showed peak velocities of >160 m/s near 108 km and turbulence coincident with strong unstable shear. Electric and magnetic fields and plasma density were measured on a second rocket. The current density peaked near 110 km exhibiting a spiral pattern with altitude that mirrored that of the winds, suggesting the dynamo is driven by tidal forcing. Such stratified currents are obscured in integrated ground measurements. Large electric fields produced a current opposite to that driven by the wind, believed created to minimize the current divergence. Using the observations, we solve the dynamo equation versus altitude, providing a new perspective on the complex nature of the atmospheric dynamo.

Abstract
Asteroid shapes and hydration levels can serve as tracers of their history and origin. For instance, the asteroids (162173) Ryugu and (101955) Bennu have an oblate spheroidal shape with a pronounced equator, but contain different surface hydration levels. Here we show, through numerical simulations of large asteroid disruptions, that oblate spheroids, some of which have a pronounced equator defining a spinning top shape, can form directly through gravitational reaccumulation. We further show that rubble piles formed in a single disruption can have similar porosities but variable degrees of hydration. The direct formation of top shapes from single disruption alone can explain the relatively old crater-retention ages of the equatorial features of Ryugu and Bennu. Two separate parent-body disruptions are not necessarily required to explain their different hydration levels.

Abstract
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft investigated the small asteroid Ryugu, which has a rubble-pile structure. We describe an impact experiment on Ryugu using Hayabusa2's Small Carry-on Impactor. The impact produced an artificial crater with a diameter >10 meters, which has a semicircular shape, an elevated rim, and a central pit. Images of the impact and resulting ejecta were recorded by the Deployable CAMera 3 for >8 minutes, showing the growth of an ejecta curtain (the outer edge of the ejecta) and deposition of ejecta onto the surface. The ejecta curtain was asymmetric and heterogeneous and it never fully detached from the surface. The crater formed in the gravity-dominated regime; in other words, crater growth was limited by gravity not surface strength. We discuss implications for Ryugu's surface age.

Abstract
The near-Earth asteroid (162173) Ryugu is a 900-m-diameter dark object expected to contain primordial material from the solar nebula. The Mobile Asteroid Surface Scout (MASCOT) landed on Ryugu's surface on 3 October 2018. We present images from the MASCOT camera (MASCam) taken during the descent and while on the surface. The surface is covered by decimeter- to meter-sized rocks, with no deposits of fine-grained material. Rocks appear either bright, with smooth faces and sharp edges, or dark, with a cauliflower-like, crumbly surface. Close-up images of a rock of the latter type reveal a dark matrix with small, bright, spectrally different inclusions, implying that it did not experience extensive aqueous alteration. The inclusions appear similar to those in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites.

Background/Introduction: Tolvaptan, a vasopression V2-receptor antagonist, is effective for congestion in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), and hyponatremia in patients with CHF and SIADH. But, this drug is not readily soluble in water and not suited for development as an injection. OPC-61815, a prodrug of tolvaptan having improved water solubility, is suitable for intravenous administration.
Purpose
The phase-II clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03254108) was conducted to investigate the dose for intravenous administration of OPC-61815 achieving tolvaptan exposure equivalent to that for oral administration of tolvaptan 15-mg tablet in CHF patients.
Methods
This study was a multicenter, a double-blind, randomized, active-controlled, parallel-group comparison clinical pharmacology trial. Sixty patients aged between 20 and 85 years with CHF with volume overload despite the use of conventional diuretics were randomly assigned to four treatment cohorts to receive OPC-61815 at doses of 2, 4, 8, 16 mg (i.v.) or tolvaptan at 15 mg (p.o.). Both drugs were administered once a day for 5 days. The primary endpoint was to assess the dose of OPC-61815 equivalent to tolvaptan at 15 mg using Cmax and AUC24h values after the first administration. Pharmacodynamics (urine volume, urine osmolality, serum electrolyte concentration, biomarkers), efficacy (body weight change, congestive symptoms) and safety were also evaluated.
Results
The mean Cmax and AUC of the metabolite tolvaptan increased dose-dependently following single intravenous administration of OPC-61815 at 2, 4, 8, and 16 mg. Tolvaptan exposure (Cmax and AUC24h) on Day 1 following single intravenous administration of OPC-61815 at 16 mg was the closest and similar to that following single administration of tolvaptan 15-mg tablet. OPC-61815 increased urine volume from baseline, leading to decrease in body weight and improvement of lower limb edema. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was 54.2% (26/48 subjects) in the OPC-61815 2 to 16-mg, and 83.3% (10/12 subjects) in the tolvaptan 15-mg groups. No clinically relevant changes from baseline were found in laboratory parameters, vital signs, or ECG findings.
Conclusions
Tolvaptan exposure on Day 1 following single intravenous administration of OPC-61815 at 16 mg was the most similar to that following single administration of tolvaptan 15-mg tablet. There was no marked difference in tolerability between OPC-61815 at 16 mg and tolvaptan 15-mg tablet, and no clinically significant problems were observed.
