Abstract
beta3-adrenergic activation causes Ca2+ release from the mitochondria and subsequent Ca2+ release from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), evoking store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE) due to Ca2+ depletion from the ER in mouse brown adipocytes. In this study, we investigated how Ca2+ depletion from the ER elicits SOCE in mouse brown adipocytes using fluorometry of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). The administration of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a reversible sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) pump blocker in the ER, caused an increase in [Ca2+]i. Moreover, CPA induced SOCE was suppressed by the administration of a Ca2+ free Krebs solution and the transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6) selective blockers 2-APB, ML-9 and GsMTx-4 but not Pico145, which blocks TRPC1/4/5. Administration of TRPC6 channel agonist 1-oleoyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycerol (OAG) and flufenamic acid elicited Ca2+ entry. Moreover, our RT-PCR analyses detected mRNAs for TRPC6 in brown adipose tissues. In addition, western blot analyses showed the expression of the TRPC6 protein. Thus, TRPC6 is one of the Ca2+ pathways involved in SOCE. These modes of Ca2+ entry provide the basis for heat production via activation of Ca2+-dependent dehydrogenase and the expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). Enhancing thermogenic metabolism in brown adipocytes may serve as broad therapeutic utility to reduce obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The present study investigated the effect of respiratory motion on planned radiotherapy (RT) dose for gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma using four-dimensional dose (4D-dose) accumulation. PATIENTS AND METHODS 4D-computed tomography (4D-CT) images of 10 patients with gastric MALT lymphomas were divided into 10 respiratory phases. Further, the 3D-dose was calculated using 3D conformal RT (3D-CRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans based on the average intensity projection (AIP) images. Then, both plans were recalculated according to each phase image. Moreover, the dose distributions in each phase were transferred to the AIP images using deformable image registration. The 4D-dose distribution was calculated by summing the doses of each phase, and it was compared with the dosimetric parameters of the 3D-dose distribution. RESULTS For 3D-CRT, the D95 and D99 of the 4D-dose in the planning target volume (PTV) were significantly lower than those of the 3D-dose, with mean differences of 0.2 (p=0.009) and 0.1 Gy (p=0.021), respectively. There were no significant differences in the other PTV and organ-at-risk dosimetric parameters of 3D-CRT or in any dosimetric parameters of VMAT between the 3D- and 4D-dose distributions. CONCLUSION The effect of respiratory motion on the planned 3D-CRT and VMAT dose distributions for gastric MALT lymphoma is minimal and clinically negligible.

Abstract
Fitmore stem is a rectangular, tapered, short, cementless stem. A characteristic feature of this stem is that it provides rotational stability due to the high medullary occupancy achieved by its rectangular cross-section and thick antero- posterior width. We aimed to investigate the differences in periprosthetic bone remodelling between a rectangular- tapered short stem and a short tapered-wedge stem. Eighty patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty using a rectangular-tapered short stem (Fitmore) or a short tapered-wedge stem (Tri-Lock BPS) were enrolled in this study. Bone mineral densities (BMDs) in the seven Gruen zones were evaluated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline, and at 6 and 24 months postoperatively. Peri-prosthetic BMD and clinical factors were assessed and compared. In addition, correlations between periprosthetic BMD changes and stem anteversion error were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient in the two groups. A significantly better postoperative periprosthetic BMD change was found in zones 1 and 7 in the rectangular-tapered group. Additionally, no significant correlation was observed between stem anteversion error and periprosthetic BMD changes in the rectangular-tapered groups. However, in the tapered-wedge group, there were significant negative correlations between the stem anteversion error and BMD changes at 6 months and 24 months in zones 1 and 7. In the rectangular-tapered group, a significantly better postoperative periprosthetic BMD change was found particularly in the region proximal to the stem. Rectangular-tapered short stem can be more resistant to rotation due to higher medullary occupancy and may lead to better periprosthetic BMD than the tapered-wedge short stem, especially in the proximal region of the stem.

Abstract
Chlorhexidine (CHD) is a cationic biocide used ubiquitously in healthcare settings. Proteus mirabilis, an important pathogen of the catheterized urinary tract, and isolates of this species are often described as “resistant” to CHD-containing products used for catheter infection control. To identify the mechanisms underlying reduced CHD susceptibility in P. mirabilis, we subjected the CHD tolerant clinical isolate RS47 to random transposon mutagenesis and screened for mutants with reduced CHD minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). One mutant recovered from these screens (designated RS47-2) exhibited ~ 8-fold reduction in CHD MIC. Complete genome sequencing of RS47-2 showed a single mini-Tn5 insert in the waaC gene involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) inner core biosynthesis. Phenotypic screening of RS47-2 revealed a significant increase in cell surface hydrophobicity and serum susceptibility compared to the wildtype, and confirmed defects in LPS production congruent with waaC inactivation. Disruption of waaC was also associated with increased susceptibility to a range of other cationic biocides but did not affect susceptibility to antibiotics tested. Complementation studies showed that repression of smvA efflux activity in RS47-2 further increased susceptibility to CHD and other cationic biocides, reducing CHD MICs to values comparable with the most CHD susceptible isolates characterized. The formation of crystalline biofilms and blockage of urethral catheters was also significantly attenuated in RS47-2. Taken together, these data show that aspects of LPS structure and upregulation of the smvA efflux system function in synergy to modulate susceptibility to CHD and other cationic biocides, and that LPS structure is also an important factor in P. mirabilis crystalline biofilm formation.

Abstract
Purpose To determine the differences and reproducibility of blood flow among hyperopic anisometropic, fellow, and control eyes. Methods We retrospectively studied 38 eyes of 19 patients with hyperopic anisometropia (8.2 ± 3.0 years of age) and 13 eyes of eight control patients (6.8 ± 1.9 years). We measured the optic nerve head (ONH) and choroidal circulation using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) and analyzed the choroidal mean blur rate (MBR-choroid), MBR-A (mean of all values in ONH), MBR-V (vessel mean), MBR-T (tissue mean), and sample size (sample), which are thought to reflect the ONH area ratio, area ratio of the blood stream (ARBS). We then assessed the coefficient of variation (COV) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and compared the differences among amblyopic, fellow, and control eyes in MBR, sample, and ARBS. Results The ONH, MBR-A, MBR-T, and ARBS of amblyopic eyes were significantly higher than those of fellow eyes (P < 0.01, P < 0.05, and P < 0.05, respectively), and control eyes (MBR-A and ARBS, P < 0.05, for both comparisons). The sample-T (size of tissue component) in amblyopic eyes was significantly smaller than that in fellow and control eyes (P < 0.05). Blood flow in the choroid did not differ significantly between the eyes. The COVs of the MBR, sample, and ARBS were all ≤10%. All ICCs were ≥0.7. The COVs of pulse waveform parameter fluctuation, blowout score (BOS), blowout time (BOT), and resistivity index (RI) in the ONH and choroid were ≤10%. Conclusion The MBR value of the LSFG in children exhibited reproducibility. Thus, this method can be used in clinical studies. The MBR values of the ONH in amblyopic eyes were significantly high. It has been suggested that measuring ONH blood flow using LSFG could detect the anisometropic amblyopic eyes.

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.

Background
Transcatheter left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) provides an alternative to oral anticoagulation for thromboembolic risk reduction in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF). A meta-analysis of previous two randomized trials reported improved rates of hemorrhagic stroke, cardiovascular/unexplained death, and nonprocedural bleeding compared to warfarin (1). Recently, the next-generation LAAC device, the Watchman FLX system, became available, and showed a low incidence of adverse events and a high incidence of anatomic closure (2). This transcatheter stroke prevention has already been approved in Asian countries. However, there is little data of LAAC in Asian population.
Purpose
This study sought to assess efficacy and safety of LAAC for patients with nonvalvular AF in Asia.
Methods
The TERMINATOR (Transcatheter Modification of Left Atrial Appendage by Obliteration with Device) registry is a multicenter nonrandomized study in Japan. This enrolled patients who underwent LAAC in 23 Japanese institutions. The LAAC was indicated for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation in whom oral anticoagulation is required, but who have a risk of bleeding (history of BARC type 3 bleeding or HAS-BLED score ≥3 points). Baseline patient and procedural characteristics and clinical outcomes were evaluated.
Results
A total of 729 patients were enrolled between September 2019 and November 2021. The mean age was 74.9±8.8 years and the mean CHA2DS2-VASc score was 4.7±1.5. The Watchman generation 2.5 and FLX system were used in 469 (64.3%) and 260 patients (35.7%), respectively. Procedural success was achieved in 722 patients (99.0%). In-hospital adverse events were as follows; 6 tamponades (0.8%), 3 pericardial effusion (0.4%), 2 device embolization (0.3%), no stroke (0%), and no death (0%). During follow-up, device-related thrombus and all-cause death were reported in 16 (2.2%) and 23 patients (3.2%), respectively.
Conclusions
LAAC with the Watchman system provides compatible efficacy and safety outcomes in Asian population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supporting data defining the selection criteria of level VIIb for inclusion in the target volume in radiotherapy (RT) planning are insufficient. We evaluated the prevalence of level VIIb retro-styloid lymph node metastasis (RSLNM) and associated risk factors in patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma (OPC). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed pre-treatment [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (CT) along with contrast-enhanced thin slice CT and magnetic resonance (MR) images of 137 patients pathologically confirmed as having OPC who underwent RT. The location of lymph nodes (LNs) was confirmed on the planning CT images. Fisher's exact test and logistic regression analyses were made to determine the risk factors of RSLNM. RESULTS RSLNM was confirmed in 18 (13%) patients. All RSLNMs were located within level VIIb on the planning CT images. No patients exhibited LNM in contralateral level VIIb. Furthermore, no patients with negative or single ipsilateral cervical LNM had RSLNM. Fisher's exact test revealed that smoking status (p=.027), multiple ipsilateral cervical LNM (p=.045) and LN ≥15 mm in the upper limit of ipsilateral level II (p<.001) were significantly associated with RSLNM. Logistic regression analyses revealed that the presence of LNs ≥15 mm in upper limit of ipsilateral level II was significantly associated with RSLNM (odds ratio: 977.297; 95% confidence interval: 57.629-16573.308; p<.001). CONCLUSIONS RSLNM is relatively common in patients with OPC with a prevalence rate of approximately 10%. The prevalence of RSLNM in patients with negative or single ipsilateral cervical LNM and contralateral RSLNM is extremely low; therefore, level VIIb can be excluded from the target volume in such patients. LN ≥15 mm in the upper limit of ipsilateral level II is a risk factor for RSLNM. Ipsilateral level VIIb should be included in the target volume for patients with this risk factor.KEY MESSAGERetro-styloid lymph node metastasis (RSLNM) prevalence is ∼10% in oropharyngeal carcinoma.Lymph node ≥15 mm in ipsilateral level II upper limit is a risk factor for RSLNM.

Abstract
Background Patients with tonsillar cancer (TC) often have dental fillings that can significantly degrade the quality of computed tomography (CT) simulator images due to metal artifacts. We evaluated whether the use of the metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm reduced the interobserver variation in delineating gross tumor volume (GTV) of TC.
Methods Eighteen patients with TC with dental fillings were enrolled in this study. Contrast-enhanced CT simulator images were reconstructed using the conventional (CTCONV) and MAR algorithm (CTMAR). Four board-certified radiation oncologists delineated the GTV of primary tumors using routine clinical data first on CTCONV image datasets (GTVCONV), followed by CTCONV and CTMAR fused image datasets (GTVMAR) at least 2 weeks apart. Intermodality differences in GTV values and Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) were compared using Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test. Results GTVMAR was significantly smaller than GTVCONV for three observers. The other observer showed no significant difference between GTVCONV and GTVMAR values. For all four observers, the mean GTVCONV and GTVMAR values were 14.0 (standard deviation [SD]: 7.4) cm3 and 12.1 (SD: 6.4) cm3, respectively, with the latter significantly lower than the former (p < 0.001). The mean DSC of GTVCONV and GTVMAR was 0.74 (SD: 0.10) and 0.77 (SD: 0.10), respectively, with the latter significantly higher than that of the former (p < 0.001). Conclusions The use of the MAR algorithm led to the delineation of smaller GTVs and reduced interobserver variations in delineating GTV of the primary tumors in patients with TC.

Abstract
BackgroundAchievement of normal physical function is an important outcome for older patients. Previous studies of younger cohorts showed that aging, comorbidities, and joint damage influenced the physical function of patients with RA who achieved clinical remission or low disease activity (LDA). We previously demonstrated that a treat-to-target (T2T) strategy for methotrexate (MTX)-naïve elderly-onset RA (EORA) was effective with an acceptable safety profile. It showed that 60.9% of 197 patients achieved HAQ Disability Index (HAQ-DI) ≤0.5 at three years by following the T2T strategy targeting LDA (1).ObjectivesWe aimed to evaluate associated factors with HAQ-DI in the T2T strategy targeting LDA for patients with EORA during three-year observational period.MethodsTreatment was adjusted to target LDA with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), followed by biological DMARDs (bDMARDs) in 197 MTX-naïve EORA patients (mean age 74.9 years) with moderate-to-high disease activity. HAQ-DI was evaluated at week 0, 24, 52, 76, 104, 128, and 156. To evaluate associated factors with SDAI and HAQ-DI over the 36-month follow-up, Bayesian hierarchical logistic regression modeling was applied for 1067 periods from the 197 patients.ResultsAt baseline, the enrolled 197 patients with EORA who had normal physical function (HAQ-DI ≤0.5) in 29.4%, HAQ-DI >0.5 and <1.5 in 36.5%, and HAQ-DI ≥1.5 in 33.0%, and the mean age (standard deviation [SD]) in each group was 72.7 (5.9), 74.8 (7.3), and 75.6 (6.7), respectively. Baseline SDAI increased in the group with higher HAQ-DI. The proportions of patients with each comorbidity and estimated creatinine clearance at baseline were not significantly different across the 3 groups.In the multilevel logistic model, the association of MTX, bDMARDs, and GC use with changes in SDAI in each period was evaluated. Age, sex, and comorbidities (chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disease, history of malignancy, osteoporosis, history of serious infections, and osteoarthritis) were included as inter-individual factors. The model indicated that the use of bDMARDs was associated with a reduction of the SDAI (ΔSDAI: -9.75, SD 0.75, p<0.001), while neither MTX (ΔSDAI: -1.25, SD 1.13, p=0.270) nor GCs (ΔSDAI: -0.78, SD 0.88, p=0.372) was associated with changes in SDAI. Chronic lung diseases (ΔSDAI: 4.64, SD 1.44, p=0.001) and osteoporosis (ΔSDAI: 3.78, SD 1.46, p=0.001) at baseline were associated with the increment of SDAI.The association of age, sex, the comorbidities, and MTX, bDMARDs, and GC use with physical function in each period was evaluated by the multilevel logistic model. The model indicated that older age (ΔHAQ-DI: 0.03, SD 0.01, p <0.001), chronic lung diseases (ΔHAQ-DI: 0.15, SD 0.10, p=0.001), and osteoporosis (ΔHAQ-DI: 0.30, SD 0.10, p=0.010) at baseline were associated with the increment of HAQ-DI. When the mean SDAI during the observation period was added to the model as an inter-individual factor, the associations of HAQ-DI with the chronic lung diseases and osteoporosis at baseline were not statistically significant.ConclusionThese data indicate that bDMARDs had a central role in reducing disease activity in the T2T strategy targeting LDA in EORA patients. Chronic lung diseases and osteoporosis at baseline were associated with increase in disease activity and worsening of physical function. However, disease activity had a greater impact on physical function than the comorbidities at baseline.References[1]Sugihara T, et al.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM This is a report of the first clinical implementation of 99mTc-labeled diethylene triamine pentaacetate-galactosyl human serum albumin (99mTc-GSA) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) image-guided inverse planning into palliative radiotherapy (RT) for diffuse liver metastases. CASE REPORT A 48-year-old man developed chemo-refractory diffuse liver metastases from thymic carcinoma characterized by abdominal pain and distension. Palliative RT was performed with a total dose of 20 Gy in five fractions using double arc volumetric modulated arc therapy to reduce the dose to functional liver defined by 99mTc-GSA SPECT images. His symptoms were immediately relieved after RT and did not experience radiation-induced liver disease. Both Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)-G and FACT-Hep total scores improved after 2 weeks of RT initiation and did not become worse than baseline scores. CONCLUSION The 99mTc-GSA SPECT image-guided palliative RT is an effective and safe treatment for patients with diffuse liver metastases.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the prevalence of myopia and high myopia and the risk factors for high myopia in infants at 3 years of age with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective, observational. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed all 89 preterm infants (178 eyes) with medical records of ROP between October 2008 and March 2018 at Toho University Medical Center Omori Hospital; these infants had a birth weight of less than 1,500 g and were followed up at least until 3 years of age. Cycloplegic autorefraction was performed to measure refractive outcomes. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine the risk factors for early-onset high myopia at 3 years of age. RESULTS The prevalence of myopia and high myopia was significantly higher in the treated group (59.7% and 17.9%, respectively) than in the untreated group (19.7% and 0%, respectively) (p<0.001). Spherical equivalent (SE) at age 3 was more myopic in the treatment group (-1.72 ± 3.53 D) than in the untreated group (0.54 ± 1.08 D) (p<0.001). In the sub-analysis of the treatment group, there was a significant correlation between SE at age 3 and the number of laser shots (R2 = 0.36, p<0.001). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the number of laser shots was an independent risk factor for early onset high myopia (p<0.05). CONCLUSION The number of laser shots is an independent risk factor for early onset high myopia, and preterm infants who have undergone laser treatment for severe ROP should be considered for early optical correction with cycloplegic refractive examination.

Abstract
Purpose To analyze the efficacy of adaptive radiotherapy (ART) for glioblastoma. Methods Sixty-one glioblastoma patients who received ART were prospectively evaluated. The initial clinical target volume (CTVinitial) was represented by T2 hyperintensity on postoperative MRIs (pre-RT MRI [MRIpre])plus 10 mm. The initial planning target volume (PTVinitial) was the CTVinitial plus a 5-mm margin. The PTVinitial received 40 Gy. An MRI and a second planning CT were performed during radiotherapy (MRImid). Two types of boost CTVs (the resection cavity and residual tumor on enhanced T1-weighted MRI plus 10 mm) were created based on the MRIpre and MRImid (CTVboost-pre and -mid). The boost PTV (PTVboost) was the CTVboost plus 5 mm. Two types of boost plans (fixed and adaptive boost plans in the first and second planning CT, respectively) of 20 Gy were created. The PTV based on the post-RT MRI (PTVboost-post) was created, and the dose-volume histograms of the PTVboost-post in the fixed and adaptive boost plans were compared. Additionally, the conformity indices (CIs) of the fixed and adaptive boost plans were compared. Results The median V95 of the PTVboost-post of the fixed and adaptive boost plans (V95pre and V95mid) were 95.6% and 98.3%, respectively (P < 0.01). The median V95pre and V95mid of patients after gross total resection (GTR) were 97.4% and 98.8%, respectively (P = 0.41); in contrast, the median values of patients after non-GTR were 91.9% and 98.2%, respectively (P < 0.01). The median CIs of the fixed and adaptive boost plans in all patients were 1.45 and 1.47, respectively (P = 0.31). The median CIs of the fixed and adaptive boost plans in patients after GTR were 1.61 and 1.48, respectively (P = 0.01); in contrast, those in patients after non-GTR were 1.36 and 1.44, respectively (P = 0.13). Conclusion ART for glioblastoma improved the target coverage and dose reduction for the normal brain. By analyzing the results according to the resection rate, we can expect a decrease in normal brain dose in patients with GTR and an increase in coverage in those with partial resection or biopsy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcomes of pre-operative endovascular coil embolisation (ECE) for chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA).METHODS: We evaluated surgical patients with CPA between November 2016 and April 2020. Pre-operative ECE for CPA with severe adhesions was selectively performed to reduce intra-operative blood loss. ECE procedures, operative procedures, intra-operative blood loss and complications were evaluated.RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients (21 males and 7 females; median age: 55 years) were included in the study. Of the 28 patients, 8 (28.6%) underwent pre-operative ECE. Technical success rate in pre-operative ECE was 100%. The median time required for ECE procedures was 123 min. The median number of vessels embolised per procedure was 2.5. The median period between embolisation and surgery was 5 days. Major complications were observed in three patients (10.7%). There were no significant differences between patients with and without pre-operative ECE in operative time (284 vs. 365 min, respectively, P = 0.7602) and intra-operative blood loss (294 vs. 228 mL, respectively, P = 0.8987).CONCLUSIONS: Pre-operative ECE for CPA appears to be feasible and safe; however, its role in reducing intra-operative blood loss needs further investigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM We compared three-dimensional conformal RT (3D-CRT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma using four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) images. PATIENTS AND METHODS Three treatment plans of 3D-CRT, IMRT, and VMAT with 30 Gy were created based on 4D-CT images of seven patients. We calculated D95, homogeneity index (HI), and conformity index (CI) of planning target volume, and organs at risk doses. RESULTS There was no significant difference among the three plans in D95. HI of the IMRT plan was significantly better than that of the VMAT (p=0.047) and 3D-CRT (p=0.047) plans. CIs of the IMRT and VMAT plans were significantly better than those of the 3D-CRT plan (p=0.047 and p=0.047, respectively). Dmean of the liver for 3D-CRT was significantly higher than that for the IMRT (p=0.047) and VMAT (p=0.047) plans. CONCLUSION The IMRT plan yields the best plan quality for gastric MALT lymphoma.

Abstract
The C-2W device (also known as "Norman") at TAE Technologies has proven successful at generating stable, long-lived field-reversed configuration (FRC) plasmas with record temperatures. The largest Mirnov probe array in C-2W measures three components of the magnetic field just inside the vessel wall at 64 locations distributed approximately evenly in the cylindrical vessel's azimuthal and axial dimensions. This nearly rectangular array of probes creates a unique opportunity to apply higher order singular value decomposition (HOSVD) to efficiently analyze the external magnetic field data for the purposes of reconstructing the magnetohydrodynamic mode structures in the FRC. In the first application of this method for this purpose, HOSVD is shown to quickly and effectively detect and separate toroidal modes while indicating longitudinal dependence of mode phases and amplitudes, enhancing the coherence and utility of the vast quantity of data produced by this array. Analysis of the data from the entire array at once via HOSVD proves not only computationally more efficient than methods that separately analyze groups of probes at different axial locations but also leads to improved mode resolution at axial locations where these modes are weaker.

Abstract
Background Radiotherapy of gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma should be delivered to the entire stomach with planning target volume (PTV) that accounts for variations in stomach volume, respiratory movement, and patient set-up error. In this study, we evaluated whether the use of four-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography (4D-CBCT) reduces the PTV. Methods Eight patients underwent radiotherapy with 15 fractions of gastric MALT lymphoma using 4D-CBCT. PTV structures of 5–30 mm margins (5 mm intervals) from the clinical target volume (CTV) delineated based on the 4D-CT images (CTV-4D) were generated. For the target localization, we performed matching based on skin marking (skin matching), bone anatomy (bone matching), and stomach anatomy (4D soft-tissue matching) based on registration between planning CT and 4D-CBCT images from 10 phases. For each patient, we calculated the covering ratio (CR) of the stomach with variable PTV structures, based on the 4D-CBCT images, with a total of 150 phases [CR (%) = (number of covering phases/150 phases) × 100], for three target localization methods. We compared the CR values of the different target localization methods and defined the PTV with an average CR of ≥ 95% for all patients. Results The average CR for all patients increased from 17.9 to 100%, 19.6 to 99.8%, and 33.8 to 100%, in the skin, bone, and 4D soft-tissue matchings, respectively, as the PTV structures increased from 5 to 30 mm. The CR obtained by 4D soft-tissue matching was superior to that obtained by skin (P = 0.013) and bone matching (P = 0.008) for a PTV structure of 15 mm margin. The PTV required an additional margin of 20 mm (average CR: 95.2%), 25 mm (average CR: 99.1%), and 15 mm (average CR: 98.0%) to CTV-4D for the skin, bone, and 4D soft-tissue matchings, respectively. Conclusions This study demonstrates that the use of 4D-CBCT reduces the PTV when applying 4D soft-tissue matching, compared to skin and bone matchings. Additionally, bone matching does not reduce the PTV as compared with traditional skin matching.

Abstract
Abstract
The development of deep learning technology has enabled machines to achieve high-level accuracy in interpreting medical images. While many previous studies have examined the detection of pulmonary nodules and cardiomegaly in chest X-rays using deep learning, the application of this technology to heart failure remains rare. In this study, we investigated the performance of a deep learning algorithm in terms of diagnosing heart failure using images obtained from chest X-rays. We used 952 chest X-ray images from a labeled database published by the National Institutes of Health. Two cardiologists respectively verified and relabeled these images, for a total of 260 “normal” and 378 “heart failure” images, and the remainder were discarded because they had been incorrectly labeled. In this study “heart failure” was defined as “cardiomegaly or congestion”, in a chest X-ray with cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) over 50% or radiographic presence of pulmonary edema. To enable the machine to extract a sufficient number of features from the images, we used the general machine learning approach called data augmentation and transfer learning. Owing mostly to this technique and the adequate relabeling process, we established a model to detect heart failure in chest X-ray by applying deep learning, and obtained an accuracy of 82%. Sensitivity and specificity to heart failure were 75% and 94.4%, respectively. Furthermore, heatmap imaging allowed us to visualize decisions made by the machine. The figure shows randomly selected examples of the prediction probabilities and heatmaps of the chest X-rays from the dataset. The original image is on the left and its heatmap is on the right, with its prediction probability written below. The red areas on the heatmaps show important regions, according to which the machine determined the classification. While some images with ambiguous radiolucency such as (e) and (f) were prone to be misdiagnosed by this model, most of the images like (a)–(d) were diagnosed correctly. Deep learning can thus help support the diagnosis of heart failure using chest X-ray images.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lycopene has been the object of considerable research attention recently, and the effects of the intake of lycopene, or of tomato products, have been studied in various ways. In Japan, interest in the health-promoting function of food components has increased. OBJECTIVE Developing a method to determine lycopene contents in tomato that meets the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS). METHOD In the proposed JAS method, the test sample consists of fresh tomatoes; a hexane-acetone mixture is utilized as the extraction solvent. A collaborative study was conducted to evaluate the interlaboratory performance of the method. RESULTS Ten laboratories participated and analyzed six test materials characterized by a lycopene content between 39 and 170 mg/kg as blind duplicates. After removing statistical outliers, RSDr ranged from 1.2 to 3.0% and RSDR ranged from 2.4 to 4.2%. The HorRat values were calculated and found to be in the 0.26-0.49 range. CONCLUSIONS The method for determining the lycopene content in tomato was evaluated by means of a collaborative study, and the reproducibility of this method was found to be acceptable. HIGHLIGHTS Intended for standardization in Japan, a method to determine lycopene content in tomato has been developed and shown to have acceptable precision in a collaborative study.

Abstract
During orofacial tissue development, the anterior and posterior regions of the Meckel's cartilage undergo mineralization, while the middle region undergoes degeneration. Despite the interesting and particular phenomena, the mechanisms that regulate the different fates of Meckel's cartilage, including the effects of biomechanical cues, are still unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to systematically investigate the course of Meckel's cartilage during embryonic development from a biomechanical perspective. Histomorphological and biomechanical (stiffness) changes in the Meckel's cartilage were analyzed from embryonic day 12 to postnatal day 0. The results revealed remarkable changes in the morphology and size of chondrocytes, as well as the occurrence of chondrocyte burst in the vicinity of the mineralization site, an often-seen phenomenon preceding endochondral ossification. To understand the effect of biomechanical cues on Meckel's cartilage fate, a mechanically tuned 3-dimensional hydrogel culture system was used. At the anterior region, a moderately soft environment (10-kPa hydrogel) promoted chondrocyte burst and ossification. On the contrary, at the middle region, a more rigid environment (40-kPa hydrogel) enhanced cartilage degradation by inducing a higher expression of MMP-1 and MMP-13. These results indicate that differences in the biomechanical properties of the surrounding environment are essential factors that distinctly guide the mineralization and degradation of Meckel's cartilage and would be valuable tools for modulating in vitro cartilage and bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The C-reactive protein : albumin ratio (CAR) has been reported as a novel prognostic marker in several cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of CAR in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). METHODS This was a single-centre retrospective study of patients who underwent surgery for ICC in a university hospital in Japan between 1998 and 2018. CAR, Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS) and modified GPS (mGPS) were calculated. Their correlation with recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) was analysed with Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS Seventy-two patients were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to the optimal CAR cut-off value of 0·02. CAR above 0·02 was associated with higher carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels (20·5 versus 66·1 units/ml for CAR of 0·02 or less; P = 0·002), larger tumour size (3·2 versus 4·4 cm respectively; P = 0·031) and a higher rate of microvascular invasion (9 of 28 versus 25 of 44; P = 0·041). RFS and OS were shorter in patients with CAR above 0·02: hazard ratio (HR) 4·31 (95 per cent c.i. 2·02 to 10·63) and HR 4·80 (1·85 to 16·40) respectively. In multivariable analysis CAR above 0·02 was an independent prognostic factor of RFS (HR 3·29 (1·33 to 8·12); P < 0·001), but not OS. CONCLUSIONS CAR was associated with prognosis in patients who had hepatic resection for ICC.

Abstract
To understand the nature of the brightest γ-ray binary system LS 5039, hard x-ray data of the object, taken with the Suzaku and NuSTAR observatories in 2007 and 2016, respectively, were analyzed. The two data sets jointly gave tentative evidence for a hard x-ray periodicity, with a period of ∼9 s and a period increase rate by ∼3×10^{-10} s s^{-1}. Therefore, the compact object in LS 5039 is inferred to be a rotating neutron star, rather than a black hole. Furthermore, several lines of arguments suggest that this object has a magnetic field of several times ∼10^{10} T, two orders of magnitude higher than those of typical neutron stars. The object is hence suggested to be a magnetar, which would be the first to be found in a binary. The results also suggest that the highly efficient particle acceleration process, known to be operating in LS 5039, emerges through interactions between dense stellar winds from the massive primary star, and ultrastrong magnetic fields of the magnetar.

Abstract
AIM To differentiate between infectious and non-infectious diseases occurring in immunocompromised patients without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS HRCT images of 555 patients with chest complications were reviewed retrospectively. Infectious diseases (n=341) included bacterial pneumonia (n=123), fungal infection (n=80), septic emboli (n=11), tuberculosis (n=15), pneumocystis pneumonia (n=101), and cytomegalovirus pneumonia (n=11), while non-infectious diseases (n=214) included drug toxicity (n=84), infiltration of underlying diseases (n=83), idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (n=34), diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (n=8), and pulmonary oedema (n=5). Lung parenchymal abnormalities were compared between the two groups using the χ2 test and multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS The χ2 test results showed significant differences in many HRCT findings between the two groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis results indicated the presence of nodules with a halo and the absence of interlobular septal (ILS) thickening were the significant indicators that could differentiate infectious from non-infectious diseases. ILS thickening was generally less frequent among most infectious diseases and more frequent among most non-infectious diseases, with a good odds ratio (7.887, p<0.001). The sensitivity and accuracy for infectious diseases in the absence of ILS thickening were better (70% and 73%, respectively) than those of nodules with a halo (19% and 48%, respectively), while the specificity in the nodules with a halo was better (93%) than that of ILS thickening (78%). CONCLUSIONS The presence of nodules with a halo or the absence of ILS thickening tends to suggest infectious disease. Specifically, ILS thickening seems to be a more reliable indicator.

Abstract
Objectives:To assess the clinical implications of ultrasonography (US) in monitoring disease activity and diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis (RP).Methods:Firstly, auricular (n=5) and nasal (n=1) chondritis of six patients with RP were assessed by US before and after treatments. The relationship between US findings and serum markers were evaluated. Moreover, the comparisons of US findings between the auricle of patients with RP (n=5), repeated trauma (n=5), cellulitis (n=2) and healthy subjects (n=5) were also assessed.Results:US finding before treatment showed low-echoic swollen auricular and nasal cartilage with increased power Doppler signals (PDS) in all cases of RP. US findings corresponded to biopsy findings. After treatment, the swollen ear and nose completely resolved. Then, US findings also showed dramatic reductions in swollen cartilage with the decrease in PDS. Although serum markers completely improved, US finding remained in 1 of 6 cases, and this case showed flare due to PSL tapering. Finally, RP could be differentiated from the damage of repeated trauma and cellulitis by the presence or absence of PDS and subperichondrial serous effusion.Conclusion:US of auricular and nasal cartilage in RP possibly facilitates evaluation of auricular lesions and monitoring of disease activity, especially when we consider the treatment response and the timing of drug tapering.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Background:Dysphagia (swallowing disorder) is an important health concern among the elderly that is associated with a poor prognosis [1]. Rheumatic diseases such as dermatomyositis are thought to represent an important risk factor for dysphagia, but few studies have described the association between dysphagia and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and details on the prevalence of dysphagia in RA patients is not known [2] [3].Objectives:The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of dysphagia and associated risk factors among elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study including 93 patients with RA and osteoarthritis (OA) over 65 years of age. OA patients were included in the study as healthy controls. Patients with a history of stroke, neuromuscular disease, or head and neck tumors were excluded from the study. From July to November 2019, the water swallowing test (WST) and repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST) were performed to evaluate the presence or absence of dysphagia in the patients. We also checked oral conditions, hoarseness, temporomandibular joint symptoms, cervical range of motion limitations, and grip strength. In addition, interviews were conducted to investigate swallowing ability and aspiration history. We compared the prevalence of dysphagia between RA and OA patients and explored potential risk factors for dysphagia in RA patients using logistic regression models.Results:Our study subjects comprised 63 RA patients (mean age, 73.8 years; 86.5% female) and 30 OA patients (mean age, 75.8 years; 82.3% female). The WST and RSST revealed that RA patients had a significantly higher prevalence of dysphagia than OA patients (23.8% vs 6.7%, p<0.05). While RA patients with dysphagia (n=15) were significantly older and had a longer disease duration than the OA patients, we observed no difference in disease activity or administrated drugs. Of the RA patients with dysphagia, 60% reported no previous episodes of aspiration. Increasing age (odds ratio (OR) 3.21, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06-4.56), cervical range of motion limitations (OR 3.14, 95% CI 1.02-7.24), opening disorder of the jaw (OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.12-4.86), and decreased grip strength (OR 1.96, 95% CI 1.01-4.15) were identified as factors related to the presence of dysphagia. Coexistence of Sjogren’s syndrome did not significantly affect the prevalence of dysphagia.Conclusion:Dysphagia was more prevalent among RA patients than in OA patients, suggesting an association with temporomandibular involvement, cervical disorder, and muscle weakness. Subclinical dysphagia should be assessed and monitored carefully in the clinical course of elderly patients with RA.References:[1] KW Altman et al.

Abstract
Background:In rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, synovitis causes severe articular cartilage damage. N-acetylglucosamine (NAc-Glc) is a component of gluglucosaminoglycans (GAG) such as hyaluronic acid (HA) and keratan sulfate (KS), heparan sulfate (HS). NAc-Glc concentration in plasma is thought to reflect the balance between biosynthesis and destruction of articular cartilage, however, few studies had examined the relationship between plasma NAc-Glc conncentration and RA activity.Objectives:NAc-Glc concentrations in RA patients were measured, and association with clinical indicators was assessed.Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out including 60 RA cases. Using N-acetylglucosamine-d3 as standard, the serum of subjects were deproteinized by protein precipitation method with acetonitrile, then concentration of NAc-Glc was measured with high-speed liquid chromatography mass spectrometer (LC-MS / MS). Clinical evaluation items: basic metabolism, presence or absence of exercise habit, Larsen score of knee and wrist joint, therapeutic agents (csDMARDs, biologics and PSL), DAS28, CRP, MMP-3, modified HAQ score (mHAQ). Statically analyzed by Spearman non parametric test.Results:The age of 60 RA cases was 59.7±16.4 years, and the duration of the disease was 10.4±8.7 years. Biologics were used in 29 cases (TNF inhibitors in 16 cases, IL-6 inhibitors in 4 cases, Abatacept in 9 cases), MTX in 32 cases, and prednisolone in 15 cases.Plasma NAc-Glc concentration was 113±41 (ng/dl), DAS28CRP was 3.04±1.2, and mHAQ was 0.863±891. Plasma NAc-Glc concentration showed positive correlation with age (correlation coefficient 0.644), knee joint destruction (0.425), HAQ score (0.340), BUN (0.412), and RF (0.287). Plasma NAc-Glc concentrations also negatively correlated with eGFR (-0.597), MTX use (-0.389), basal metabolism (-0.313), and sex difference (-0.272). There was no correlation between plasma NAc-Glc concentration and body weight, BMI, DAS28, CRP, MMP-3, NTX, serum creatinine, hand joint disease, and transaminase.In this study, plasma NAc-Glc concentration had increased with age, and had have a negative correlation with basal metabolism. Considering these results, it is unlikely that NAc-Glc is released into plasma as a metabolite of synthesis promotion. Further, since NAc-Glc had a negative correlation (-0.389) with MTX as a folic acid inhibitor, it was supposed to be affected by protein synthesis reduction. Because no correlation between NAc-Glc and inflammation or bone metabolism markers was observed, NAc-Glc may represent removal of GAG from the cell membrane (shedding).In previous GAGs studies, in RA patients, HA, KS, CRP, DAS28, was very associated with arthritis, such as MMP-3.The concentration of NAc-Glc in plasma was more relevant to dysfunctions such as destruction and HAQ due to arthritis such as HAQ than inflammatory indicators such as DAS28, MMP-3 and CRP. It is appearing in the plasma by destruction by shedding, as an index to see the joint destruction, it was presumed to be a better indicator than the GAGs. It was also thought that there is a possibility that MTX affects cartilage substrate metabolism.Conclusion:Serum NAc-Glc concentration in rheumatoid arthritis patients may represent cartilage metabolism and joint destruction.References:[1]Y.Matsuura. et al.Ann.Rheum.Dis. 2018;77: 1219-1225[2]T D Spector.et al.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To review a single institutional experience of the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 8502 "QUAD shot" regimen using volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) for incurable head and neck cancer (HNC). METHODS Thirty-four consecutive patients with HNC were treated with at least one cycle of the RTOG 8502 regimen. Treatment plans included the use of VMAT with 6 MV photons generated by a linear accelerator. Two daily fractions of 3.7 Gy were delivered with an interval of at least 6 h for 2 consecutive days, totaling 14.8 Gy over 4 fractions. This was repeated every 3-4 weeks for a total of three cycles. No concurrent systemic therapy was performed. RESULTS The number of completed cycles was 1 in 6 (18%) patients, 2 in 5 (15%), and 3 in 23 (68%). Tumor response was achieved in 29 (85%) patients and symptom relief in 20 (77%) of 26 patients. Overall response (tumor response or symptom relief) was achieved in 32 (94%) patients. All patients who received 2 or more treatment cycles achieved overall response. Median overall survival (OS) was 5.7 months. Multivariate analysis revealed that completion of all three treatment cycles was significantly associated with better OS (P = 0.002). Grade 2 toxicity was observed in four (12%) patients, but no acute Grade ≥ 3 or late toxicity was observed. CONCLUSIONS The RTOG 8502 "QUAD shot" regimen using VMAT is effective for incurable HNC with highly reduced toxicity. Treatment with multiple cycles is recommended for better treatment response and/or survival.

Abstract
Plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) are known to be major facilitators of the movement of a number of substrates across cell membranes. From a drought-resistant cultivar of Oryza sativa (rice), we isolated an OsPIP1;3 gene single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) that is mostly expressed in rice roots and is strongly responsive to drought stress. Immunocytochemistry showed that OsPIP1;3 majorly accumulated on the proximal end of the endodermis and the cell surface around the xylem. Expression of GFP-OsPIP1;3 alone in Xenopus oocytes or rice protoplasts showed OsPIP1;3 mislocalization in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-like neighborhood, whereas co-expression of OsPIP2;2 recruited OsPIP1;3 to the plasma membrane and led to a significant enhancement of water permeability in oocytes. Moreover, reconstitution of 10×His-OsPIP1;3 in liposomes demonstrated water channel activity, as revealed by stopped-flow light scattering. Intriguingly, by patch-clamp technique, we detected significant NO3- conductance of OsPIP1;3 in mammalian cells. To investigate the physiological functions of OsPIP1;3, we ectopically expressed the OsPIP1;3 gene in Nicotiana benthamiana (tobacco). The transgenic tobacco plants exhibited higher photosynthesis rates, root hydraulic conductivity (Lpr ) and water-use efficiency, resulting in a greater biomass and a higher resistance to water deficit than the wild-type did. Further experiments suggested that heterologous expression of OsPIP1;3 in cyanobacterium altered bacterial growth under different conditions of CO2 gas supply. Overall, besides shedding light on the multiple functions played by OsPIP1;3, this work provides insights into the translational value of plant AQPs.
