Abstract
To achieve appropriate blood pressure control in the treatment of hypertension in Japan, this study examined the relationship between office blood pressure and actual antihypertensive drug use in general hospitals following the promulgation of the guidelines for hypertension (JSH2019). This study focused on blood pressure levels and drug use in outpatients on antihypertensive treatment from June to July 2020. The subjects were 2,537 patients classified into four groups based on their medical history, patients with: hypertension only; hypertension and cardiovascular disease; hypertension and dyslipidaemia; and hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The results showed a significant difference in systolic blood pressure (SBP) between patients with hypertension only and those with hypertension and cardiovascular disease (138.3±17.9 mmHg vs 135.6±19.9 mmHg, p<0.05). Regarding actual drug use, it was found that diuretics were prescribed more frequently in patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease than in those with hypertension alone (15.5% vs 37.9%, p<0.05), even though the number of drugs for hypertension did not differ significantly. In addition, the dose of diuretics was greater only in patients with cardiovascular disease. These results show the actual drug use and blood pressure for each comorbidity. Furthermore, they suggest that the results of antihypertensive treatment may differ by changing the combination and dosage of antihypertensive drugs without changing the number of antihypertensive drugs used. The study also shows the problem of using less diuretics depending on the risk the patient has, and solving the problem may lead to achieving further antihypertensive goals.

Abstract
Several studies have investigated the association between P2Y12 reaction unit (PRU) value and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with ischemic heart disease, but there is no well-established consensus on the utility of PRU value. Furthermore, the optimal PRU cut-off value varied with studies. One reason may be that the endpoints and observation periods differed, depending on the study. This study aimed to investigate the optimal cut-off and predictive ability of the PRU value for predicting cardiovascular events, while considering different endpoints and observation periods. We surveyed a total of 338 patients receiving P2Y12 inhibitors and measured PRU during cardiac catheterization. Using time-dependent receiver operating characteristic analysis, we evaluated the cut-off and area under curve (AUC) of the PRU value for two MACEs (MACE ①: composite of death, myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, and cerebral infarction; MACE ②: composite of MACE ① and target vessel revascularization) at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months after cardiac catheterization. MACE ① occurred in 18 cases and MACE ② in 32 cases. The PRU cut-off values at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months were 257, 238, 217, and 216, respectively, for MACE ① and 250, 238, 209, and 204, respectively, for MACE ②. The AUCs at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months were 0.753, 0.832, 0.718, and 0.717, respectively, for MACE ① and 0.724, 0.722, 0.664, and 0.682, respectively, for MACE ②. The optimal cut-off and predictive ability of PRU values for cardiovascular events varied depending on different endpoints and duration of the observation periods. A relatively high PRU value is effective for short-term event suppression, but a low value is required for long-term event suppression.

Abstract
In addition to the classical actions of hemodynamic regulation, natriuretic peptides (NPs) interact with various neurohumoral factors that are deeply involved in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases. However, their effects on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which is activated under acute high-stress conditions in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), remain largely unknown. We investigated the impact of plasma B-type NP (BNP) on plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-cortisol levels during the acute phase of ACS ischemic attacks. The study population included 436 consecutive patients with ACS for whom data were collected during emergency cardiac catheterization. Among them, biochemical data after acute-phase treatment were available in 320 cases, defined as the ACS-remission phase (ACS-rem). Multiple regression analyses revealed that plasma BNP levels were significantly negatively associated with plasma ACTH levels only during ACS attacks (P < 0.001), but not in ACS-rem, whereas plasma BNP levels were not significantly associated with plasma cortisol levels at any point. Accordingly, covariance structure analyses were performed to clarify the direct contribution of BNP to ACTH by excluding other confounding factors, confirming that BNP level was negatively correlated with ACTH level only during ACS attacks (β = -0.152, P = 0.002), whereas BNP did not significantly affect ACTH in ACS-rem. In conclusion, despite the lack of a significant direct association with cortisol levels, BNP negatively regulated ACTH levels during the acute phase of an ACS attack in which the HPA axis ought to be activated. NP may alleviate the acute stress response induced by severe ischemic attacks in patients with ACS.NEW & NOTEWORTHY BNP negatively regulates ACTH during a severe ischemic attack of ACS in which hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis ought to be activated, indicating an important role of natriuretic peptides as a mechanism of adaptation to acute critical stress conditions in humans.

Abstract
The T2K experiment presents new measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters using 19.7 ( 16.3 ) × 10 20 protons on target (POT) in (anti-)neutrino mode at the far detector (FD). Compared to the previous analysis, an additional 4.7 × 10 20 POT neutrino data was collected at the FD. Significant improvements were made to the analysis methodology, with the near-detector analysis introducing new selections and using more than double the data. Additionally, this is the first T2K oscillation analysis to use NA61/SHINE data on a replica of the T2K target to tune the neutrino flux model, and the neutrino interaction model was improved to include new nuclear effects and calculations. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses are presented, including results on sin 2 θ 13 and the impact of priors on the δ CP measurement. Both analyses prefer the normal mass ordering and upper octant of sin 2 θ 23 with a nearly maximally CP-violating phase. Assuming the normal ordering and using the constraint on sin 2 θ 13 from reactors, sin 2 θ 23 = 0 . 561 - 0.032 + 0.021 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and Δ m 32 2 = 2 . 494 - 0.058 + 0.041 × 10 - 3 eV 2 using constant Δ χ 2 intervals. The CP-violating phase is constrained to δ CP = - 1 . 97 - 0.70 + 0.97 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and δ CP = 0 , π is excluded at more than 90% confidence level. A Jarlskog invariant of zero is excluded at more than 2 σ credible level using a flat prior in δ CP , and just below 2 σ using a flat prior in sin δ CP . When the external constraint on sin 2 θ 13 is removed, sin 2 θ 13 = 28 . 0 - 6.5 + 2.8 × 10 - 3 , in agreement with measurements from reactor experiments. These results are consistent with previous T2K analyses.

Abstract
Various approaches to lumbar interbody fusion have been described. The usefulness of full-endoscopic trans-Kambin's triangle lumbar interbody fusion has recently been reported. This technique has several advantages in patients with degenerative spondylolisthesis, including the ability to improve symptoms without decompression surgery. Moreover, given that the entire procedure is performed percutaneously, it can be performed without increasing the operation time or surgical invasiveness, even in obese patients. In this article, we discuss these advantages and illustrate them with representative cases.

Abstract
In the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), platelet (PLT) and neutrophil (Neu) crosstalk may be important for activating coagulation and inflammation. It has been speculated that PLTs and Neu may affect each other's cell counts; however, few studies have investigated this hypothesis. In this study, we measured changes in blood cell counts in 245 patients with ACS during treatment and investigated the mutual effects of each blood cell type. Path diagrams were drawn using structural equation modeling, and temporal changes in the count of each blood cell type and the relevance of these changes were analyzed. Throughout the treatment period, the numbers of all blood cell types (red blood cells [RBCs], leukocytes, and PLTs) were associated with each other before and after treatment. A detailed examination of the different cell types revealed that the PLT count at admission had a significant positive effect on the leukocyte (especially Neu) count after treatment. Conversely, the leukocyte (especially Neu) count at admission had a significant positive effect on the PLT count after treatment. During ACS, PLTs and leukocytes, especially Neu, stimulate each other to increase their numbers. The formation of a PLT-leukocyte complex may increase coagulation activity and inflammation, which can lead to a further increase in the counts of both blood cell types.

Abstract
AIMS Pulmonary congestion, reduced cardiac output, neurohumoral factor activation, and decreased renal function associated with decreased cardiac function may have various effects on haemograms. The relationship between these factors and haemograms in patients with heart failure has not been sufficiently investigated. Recently, it was suggested that the lungs are an important site for platelet (Plt) biosynthesis and that it is necessary to study the relationship between pulmonary congestion and Plt count in heart failure in detail. In this study, we examined the relationship between various haemodynamic indicators and haemograms in detail using statistical analyses. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 345 patients who underwent cardiac catheterization for the evaluation of cardiac function between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2020 were included in the study. Haemodynamic indices, including left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and cardiac index (CI), were measured. Plasma noradrenaline (Nor) concentration, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), white blood cell (WBC) count, haemoglobin (Hb) level, and Plt count were measured using blood samples collected at the same time. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to examine the relationship between LVEDP, CI, plasma Nor concentration, eGFR, WBC count, Hb level, and Plt count. Bayesian inference using SEM was performed for Plt count. A total of 345 patients (mean age: 66.0 ± 13.2 years) were included in this study, and 251 (73%) patients were men. After simple and multiple regression analyses, path diagrams were drawn and analysed using SEM. LVEDP showed a significant negative relationship with Plt count (standardized estimate: -0.129, P = 0.015), and CI showed a significant negative relationship with Hb level (standardized estimate: -0.263, P < 0.001). Plasma Nor concentration showed a significant positive relationship with WBC count (standardized estimate: 0.165, P = 0.003) and Plt count (standardized estimate: 0.198, P < 0.001). The eGFR had a significant positive relationship with Hb level (standardized estimate: 0.274, P < 0.001). Bayesian inference using SEM revealed no relationship between LVEDP and Hb level or WBC count but a significant negative relationship between LVEDP and Plt count. CONCLUSIONS LVEDP, CI, plasma Nor concentration, and eGFR were related to WBC count, Hb level, and Plt count in patients with heart failure. There was a strong relationship between elevated LVEDP and decreased Plt count, suggesting that pressure overload on the lungs may interfere with the function of the lung as a site of Plt biosynthesis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The treatment with doxorubicin, a powerful chemotherapeutic agent, has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of lethal heart failure. Although various types of cell death pathway such as apoptosis and ferroptosis have been shown to be involved in the development of doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity, DIC, the involvement of necroptosis, a novel programmed necrosis induced by translocation of activated mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein, MLKL, to plasma membrane, remains unclear.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to determine whether necroptosis is involved in the development of DIC.
Methods and results
DIC was induced in C57BL/6J mice by intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin at a dose of 10 mg/kg 3 times for a week. Eight days after the commencement of injection, echocardiographic analyses showed that left ventricular ejection fraction assessed by echocardiography was significantly lower in the doxorubicin-treated mice than in the vehicle-treated mice (44.0±13.7 vs. 70.5±3.7%), indicating the development of DIC. Immunoblot analysis showed that MLKL protein level was higher by 1.6 fold in the doxorubicin-treated mice than in the vehicle-treated mice. Interestingly, immunohistochemical analysis showed that signals of phospho-Ser345-MLKL, an activated form of MLKL, was found in the nuclei in addition to cytosol and intercalated discs of cardiomyocytes in the doxorubicin-treated mice. To get novel insight into significance of nuclear MLKL accumulation, a leucine-rich nuclear export signal (NES) spanning amino acids 280–284 of rat MLKL was identified by site-directed mutation analyses, and H9c2 cells, cultured rat cardiomyoblasts, were transfected with expression constructs for nucleus-directed MLKL (FLAG-mtNES-MLKL) or its wild type (FLAG-WT-MLKL). Percentage of FLAG-positive cells stained with Zombie Red, a fluorescent dye that is non-permeant to live cells, was higher in FLAG-mtNES-MLKL-transfected cells than in FLAG-WT-MLKL-transfected cells (80.0±3.5% vs. 6.3±1.3%, p<0.05), whereas percentage of cells immunostained with cleaved caspase-3 to FLAG-positive cells was similar in the two groups. The effect of the MLKL mutant on necroptosis was attenuated by treatment with GppNHp, an inhibitor of Ran-mediated nuclear protein import.
Conclusion
Nuclear accumulation of MLKL induces necroptosis in cardiomyocytes, which may contribute to progression of DIC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is rare; however, it remains a serious complication. PV angioplasty is reportedly an effective therapy; however, a dedicated device for PV angioplasty has not been developed, and the detailed procedural methods remain undetermined. This study describes the symptoms, indications, treatment strategies, and long-term outcomes for PV stenosis after AF ablation.Methods and Results: This study retrospectively analyzed 7 patients with PV stenosis after catheter ablation for AF and who had undergone PV angioplasty at our hospital during 2015-2021. PV stenosis occurred in the left superior (5 patients) and left inferior (2 patients) PV. Six patients had hemoptysis, chest pain, and dyspnea. Seven de novo lesions were treated using balloon angioplasty (BA) (3 patients), a bare metal stent (BMS) (3 patients), and a drug-coated balloon (DCB) (1 patient). The restenosis rate was 42.9% (n=3; 2 patients in the BA group and 1 patient in the DCB group). The repeat treatment rate was 28.6% (2 patients in the BA group). Stenting was performed as repeat treatment. One patient with subsequent repeat restenosis development underwent BA. Ten PV angioplasties were performed; there were no major complications. CONCLUSIONS Regarding PV angioplasty after ablation therapy for AF, stenting showed superior long-term PV patency than BA alone; therefore, it should be considered as a standard first-line approach.

Abstract
Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) has significantly contributed to reducing the mortality of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) even in cardiogenic shock and is now the standard of care in most of Japanese institutions. The Task Force on Primary PCI of the Japanese Association of Cardiovascular Interventional and Therapeutics (CVIT) society proposed an expert consensus document for the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) focusing on procedural aspects of primary PCI in 2018. Updated guidelines for the management of AMI were published by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in 2017 and 2020. Major changes in the guidelines for STEMI patients included: (1) radial access and drug-eluting stents (DES) over bare-metal stents (BMS) were recommended as a Class I indication, (2) complete revascularization before hospital discharge (either immediate or staged) is now considered as Class IIa recommendation. In 2020, updated guidelines for Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) patients, the followings were changed: (1) an early invasive strategy within 24 h is recommended in patients with NSTEMI as a Class I indication, (2) complete revascularization in NSTEMI patients without cardiogenic shock is considered as Class IIa recommendation, and (3) in patients with atrial fibrillation following a short period of triple antithrombotic therapy, dual antithrombotic therapy (e.g., DOAC and single oral antiplatelet agent preferably clopidogrel) is recommended, with discontinuation of the antiplatelet agent after 6 to 12 months. Furthermore, an aspirin-free strategy after PCI has been investigated in several trials those have started to show the safety and efficacy. The Task Force on Primary PCI of the CVIT group has now proposed the updated expert consensus document for the management of AMI focusing on procedural aspects of primary PCI in 2022 version.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A metabolomic study in the human heart suggested a pivotal role of amino acid (AA) metabolism in fatty acid oxidation, which is dysregulated in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure. We previously reported that aberrant up-regulation of AMP deaminase 3 (AMPD3) impairs cardiac energetics in T2DM hearts, and AMPD3 was recently shown to be activated by fasting and to promote AA metabolism and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle. A sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) has been shown to augment systemic AA metabolism, but its effect on cardiac AA metabolism remains unknown.
Purpose
We hypothesized that AMPD3 has a role in AA and lipid metabolism in cardiomyocytes and that the protective effect of an SGLT2i in diabetic hearts is mediated by modification of AA and lipid metabolism.
Methods and results
Proteomic analyses of AMPD3 immunoprecipitates in rat hearts revealed that AMPD3 interacted with the E1α and E2 components of the BCKDH complex, a rate-limiting enzyme of branched-chain AA (BCAA) catabolism. Immunoblotting using subcellular fractions revealed that BCKDH localized not only in the mitochondria matrix but also in the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and that AMPD3 interacted with BCKDH in the cytosol and ER. Despite comparable expression of BCKDH components and phosphorylation of E1α at Ser293, significant accumulation of BCAA was observed in T2DM rats (OLETF; 317±30 nmol/g) compared to that in control rats (LETO; 213±16 nmol/g), and the accumulation of BCAA was accompanied by up-regulation of AMPD3 in the cytosol and ER by 98% and 231%, respectively. In cardiomyocytes, disruption of BCAA catabolism by knockdown of BCKDH-E1α resulted in a 5.8-fold increase in AMPD3 at the transcriptional level and blunted lipid droplet biogenesis in response to a long-chain fatty acid challenge. Next, myocardial infarction (MI) was induced in LETO and OLETF pretreated with empagliflozin (10 mg/kg/day, 14 days) or a vehicle. Pathway analysis of cardiac metabolites revealed arginine biosynthesis and BCAA metabolism as the most significantly changed pathways with empagliflozin, with BCAA (791±187 nmol/g), glutamate, glutamine and urea being significantly increased. Empagliflozin restored myocardial ATP and survival after MI in OLETF to levels comparable to those in LETO. Electron microscopy showed a significantly higher prevalence of myocardium lipid droplets in OLETF, which was further increased by empagliflozin.
Conclusions
The results support the hypotheses that imbalance of extra-mitochondrial AMPD3-BCKDH interaction underlies dysregulated BCAA metabolism in T2DM hearts and that activation of cardiac AA metabolism by an SGLT2i normalizes fatty acid overload through sequestration into intracellular lipid droplets.

Abstract
Osseointegration of dental, craniofacial, and orthopedic implants is critical for their long-term success. Multifunctional surface treatment of implants was found to significantly improve cell adhesion and induce osteogenic differentiation of dental-derived stem cells in vitro. Moreover, local and sustained release of antibiotics via nanolayers from the surface of implants can present unparalleled therapeutic benefits in implant dentistry. Here, we present a layer-by-layer surface treatment of titanium implants capable of incorporating BMP-2-mimicking short peptides and gentamicin to improve their osseointegration and antibacterial features. Additionally, instead of conventional surface treatments, we employed polydopamine coating before layer-by-layer assembly to initiate the formation of the nanolayers on rough titanium surfaces. Cytocompatibility analysis demonstrated that modifying the titanium implant surface with layer-by-layer assembly did not have adverse effects on cellular viability. The implemented nanoscale coating provided sustained release of osteoinductive peptides with an antibacterial drug. The surface-functionalized implants showed successful osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells and antimicrobial activity in vitro and increased osseointegration in a rodent animal model 4 wk postsurgery as compared with untreated implants. Altogether, our in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that this approach can be extended to other dental and orthopedic implants since this surface functionalization showed improved osseointegration and an enhanced success rate.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Can the gas-liquid interface organ culture system that achieved in vitro spermatogenesis in mice also support in vitro spermatogenesis in human adult testis?
Summary answer
Although the progression of spermatogenesis was not observed, germ cells were maintained without the degeneration of the architecture in both fresh and cryopreserved testicular tissues.
What is known already
Although the research on in vitro spermatogenesis have been conducted for 100 years, only the organ culture system using gas-liquid interface method achieved in vitro spermatogenesis in mice. It has not been verified whether this culture system can be applied to other mammals including humans and induce spermatogenesis.
Study design, size, duration
Testicular tissue was obtained from the transgender patients receiving sex reassignment surgery. Testicular specimens were either immediately processed for cultivation or cryopreserved, using a vitrification freezing protocol. Organ culture of testicular fragments was performed in three different media for a maximum period of 3 weeks to evaluate the short-term changes in the cultured tissues (viability, proliferation and maintenance of germ and somatic cells).
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Fresh and cryopreserved-thawed testis fragments (1–2 mm3) were cultured using the organ culture system in alpha-MEM with knock-out serum replacement (K group), alpha-MEM with lipid-rich BSA (A group) and DMEM with FBS (D group). Luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and testosterone were supplemented. The number of germ cells (using DDX4), proliferative activity of germ cells (using EdU assay) and intratubular cell apoptosis (by TdT-mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling) were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining weekly.
Main results and the role of chance
The architecture of the seminiferous tubules was maintained until the second week of culture in both the fresh and the cryopreserved culture group. The number of DDX4-positive germ cells per seminiferous tubule in groups D, K, and A was 49 ± 24, 55 ± 21, 50 ± 26 cells/tubule in 1 day, 32 ± 13, 42 ± 7, 36 ± 21 cells/tubule in 1week, respectively. The numbers gradually decreased to 26 ± 8, 24 ± 6 and 27 ± 18 cells/tubule, in 2 weeks, respectively, with no difference among the groups. The number of intratubular EdU-positive cells of groups D, K, and A was 0.2 ± 0.2, 2.8 ± 2.1, 1.1 ± 0.8 cells/tubule at 1 day, 0.1 ± 0.2, 0.5 ± 0.6, 0.3 ± 0.6 cells/tubule at 1 week, respectively. The values were 0.01, 0.05, and 0.03 at 2 weeks. Thus, EdU-positive cells drastically decreased from the first week of culture. The number of DDX4-positive germ cells and the intratubular EdU-positive cells in the cryopreserved culture group was not different from that in the fresh culture group.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Current organ culture systems are incomplete, being unable to induce human in vitro spermatogenesis. Further research is needed to improve culture condition with the aim of producing fertile sperm of infertile adult male patients.
Wider implications of the findings: Our organ culture system could maintain testis structure and germ cells. By using the testis tissues of the transgender patients, which are available with their consent, we will promote the investigation of the culture condition necessary for germ cell proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
After the accident at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on 11 March 2011, radioactive materials were released into the atmosphere resulting in environmental contamination. Following the implementation of environmental decontamination efforts, the Radiation Dose Registration Centre of the Radiation Effects Association established the radiation dose registration system for decontamination and related workers to consolidate and prevent the loss of radiation records. This article presents statistics on the radiation doses of decontamination and related workers using official records. Since approximately 10 years have passed since the accident in Fukushima, the types of work conducted in the affected restricted areas have changed over time. Therefore, changes in radiation dose for each type of work and comparisons with nuclear workers are presented.

Abstract
Background:
Abnormal diffuse coronary artery contraction is not easily diagnosed. In order to evaluate its true risk, we performed double left ventriculography (LVG) before and after intracoronary administration of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN). We also investigated the relationship between changes in coronary lumen area and changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after ISDN. Methods and Results:
The study included 53 patients who underwent an acetylcholine (ACh) provocation test after coronary angiogram and LVG. The second LVG was performed after intracoronary ISDN administration. Coronary lumen area was measured by quantitative coronary arteriography (QCA). Simple and multiple regression analyses showed a significant correlation between changes in total QCA area before and after ISDN administration (pre-and post-total QCA area, respectively) and changes in LVEF. Using structural equation modeling, we observed a negative effect of pre-total QCA area and a positive effect of post-total QCA area on LVEF improvement. Importantly, LVEF improvement was similar between the ACh-positive and -negative groups on the coronary artery spasm test. Receiver operating characteristic curves indicated that the cut-off value at which changes in total QCA area affected changes in LVEF was 5%. Conclusions:
Performing double LVG tests before and after ISDN administration may detect myocardial ischemia caused by diffuse coronary artery contraction. The addition of this method to the conventional ACh provocation test may detect the presence of local and/or global myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
Malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) is recognized as a surrogate marker of lipid oxidation and is associated with arteriosclerosis. However, there are limited reports on the relationship between heart failure and MDA-LDL. Therefore, we aimed to determine whether MDA-LDL is activated in patients with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and examine our hypothesis that the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) masks the enhancement of MDA-LDL in patients with LV dysfunction by its strong antioxidative action. The study population comprised 2,976 patients with various cardiovascular diseases. Patients were divided into four groups depending on the LV ejection fraction (LVEF) or plasma BNP level. A nonparametric analysis with the Kruskal-Wallis test was used to perform an interquartile comparison. In addition, structural equation modeling and Bayesian estimation were used to compare the effects of LVEF and BNP on MDA-LDL. MDA-LDL levels did not significantly change (P > 0.05) with respect to the degree of LVEF among the four groups. In contrast, MDA-LDL levels were significantly decreased (P < 0.001) with respect to the degree of BNP among the four groups. A path model based on structural equation modeling clearly showed a significant effect of LVEF (standardized regression coefficient; β: -0.107, P < 0.001) and BNP (β: -0.114, P < 0.001) on MDA-LDL, with a significant inverse association between LVEF and BNP (correlation coefficient -0.436, P < 0.001). MDA-LDL should be activated in patients with LV dysfunction; however, BNP is thought to exert a strong compensatory suppression on lipid oxidation, masking the relationship between heart failure and lipid oxidation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
We recently reported that upregulated AMP deaminase (AMPD), via reduction in the tissue adenine nucleotide pool, contributes to exacerbation of diastolic dysfunction under pressure overload in OLETF, a rat model of obese type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Upregulated AMPD also possibly promotes xanthine oxidase (XO)-mediated ROS production, since AMPD deaminases AMP to IMP, which is further converted to inosine, providing substrates of XO, hypoxanthine and xanthine. Here, we examined the hypothesis that inhibition of XO ameliorates the pressure overload-induced diastolic dysfunction by suppression of ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and/or vascular dysfunction in T2DM rats.
Methods and results
Metabolomic analyses revealed that levels of xanthine and uric acid in the LV myocardium were significantly higher by 37% and 51%, respectively, in OLETF than in LETO, non-diabetic control rats, under the condition of phenylephrine-induced pressure overloading (200–230 mmHg). Myocardial XO activity in OLETF was 57.9% higher than that in LETO, which may be attributed to 31% higher level of inosine, a positive regulator of XO, in OLETF than in LETO. The activity of XO was significantly attenuated by administration of topiroxostat, an XO inhibitor at 0.5 mg/kg/day for 14 days. Pressure volume loop analyses showed that the pressure overloading resulted in significantly higher LVEDP in OLETF than in LETO (18.3±1.5 vs. 12.2±1.3 mmHg, p<0.05, n=7), though LVEDPs at baseline were comparable in OLETF and LETO (5.6±0.4 vs. 4.7±0.7 mmHg). Treatment with topiroxostat significantly suppressed the pressure overload-induced elevation of LVEDP in OLETF (18.3±1.5 vs. 11.3±1.1 mmHg, p<0.05) but not in LETO. Under the condition of pressure overloading, Ea/Ees, an index for ventricular-arterial coupling, was higher in OLETF than in LETO (2.3±0.3 vs. 1.6±0.3, p<0.05), and it was also improved by topiroxostat in OLETF (1.2±0.2, p<0.05). Myocardial ATP content was lower in OLETF than in LETO (2966±400 vs. 1818±171 nmol/g wet tissue, p<0.05), and treatment with topiroxostat significantly restored the ATP level (2629±307 nmol/g wet tissue). The LV myocardium of OLETF under pressure overload showed significantly higher level of malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal, an indicator of lipid peroxidation, than that of LETO. Measurement of oxygen consumption rate by Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer in mitochondria isolated from LV tissues revealed that state 3 respiration was significantly suppressed in OLETF by 43% compared to LETO, and it was restored by treatment with topiroxostat.
Conclusion
Both activity and substrates of XO are increased in T2DM hearts, in which upregulation of AMPD may play a role. Inhibition of XO ameliorates pressure overload-induced diastolic dysfunction and improves ventricular-arterial coupling in diabetic hearts, most likely through protection of mitochondrial function from ROS-mediated injury.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rapid descent in bone mineral density (BMD) and ascent in bone turnover marker (BTM) occur within the short period following denosumab (Dmab) discontinuation. In addition, the incidence of vertebral fracture also rises within the short period. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of sequential therapy using zoledronic acid (ZOL) on any adverse events after Dmab discontinuation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was a multicenter retrospective observational study, and the subjects were osteoporosis patients who visited our institutions between 2013 and 2018. We performed sequential therapy using ZOL for 30 patients who had difficulty continuing Dmab, due to physical or social reasons, and investigated the fracture incidence and BMD/BTM changes at 4 time points (at the start of Dmab, the start of ZOL, 6 months after ZOL and 12 months after ZOL). RESULTS No new vertebral/nonvertebral fractures were observed at each time point after switching from Dmab to ZOL in any of the 30 patients. The BMD/BTM changes were evaluated in 18 of the 30 cases, since all data of lumbar/femoral neck BMDs and TRACP-5b at 4 time points was only available in 18 cases. BMDs significantly increased at each time point compared with that at the start of Dmab. Serum TRACP-5b significantly decreased at each time point compared with that at the start of Dmab. CONCLUSION It was suggested that sequential therapy using ZOL could suppress the decrease of BMD, and increase of BTM, if the period of Dmab administration was less than 3 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In addition to various biological effects of natriuretic peptides (NP) on cardiovascular systems, we recently reported that NP raises intracellular temperature in cultured adipocytes. We herein examined the possible thermogenic action of NP in consideration of hemodynamic parameters and inflammatory reaction by proposing structural equation models. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population consisted of 1985 consecutive patients who underwent cardiac catheterization. Covariance structure analyses were performed to clarify the direct contribution of plasma B-type NP (BNP) to body temperature (BT) by excluding other confounding factors. A hierarchical path model showed increase in BNP, increase in C-reactive protein and decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction were mutually associated. As expected, C-reactive protein was positively correlated with BT. Importantly, despite a negative correlation between BNP and left ventricular ejection fraction, a decrease in the left ventricular ejection fraction was associated with BT decrease, whereas elevation in BNP level was associated with BT increase independently of C-reactive protein level (P = .007). CONCLUSIONS Patients with LV dysfunction tend to manifest a decrease in BT, whereas BNP elevation is associated with an increase in BT independently of inflammatory response. These findings suggest the adaptive heat-retaining property of NP (and/or NP-associated factors) when BT falls owing to unfavorable hemodynamic conditions in a state of impaired cardiac function.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have reported that being overweight, obese, or underweight is a risk factor for ischemic cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, CVD also occurs in subjects with ideal body mass index (BMI). Recently, the balance of n-3/n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has received attention as a risk marker for CVD but, so far, no study has been conducted that investigates the association between BMI and the balance of n-3/n-6 PUFAs for CVD risk. Methods We evaluated the association between n-3/n-6 PUFA ratio and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in three BMI-based groups (< 25: low BMI, 25–27.5: moderate BMI, and ≥ 27.5: high BMI) that included 1666 patients who visited the cardiovascular medicine departments of five hospitals located in urban areas in Japan. Results The prevalence of ACS events was 9.2, 7.3, and 10.3% in the low, moderate, and high BMI groups, respectively. We analyzed the relationship between ACS events and several factors, including docosahexaenoic acid/arachidonic acid (DHA/AA) ratio by multivariate logistic analyses. In the low BMI group, a history of smoking (odds ratio [OR]: 2.47, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.40–4.35) and low DHA/AA ratio (OR: 0.30, 95% CI: 0.12–0.74) strongly predicted ACS. These associations were also present in the moderate BMI group but the magnitude of the association was much weaker (ORs are 1.47 [95% CI: 0.54–4.01] for smoking and 0.63 [95% CI: 0.13–3.10] for DHA/AA). In the high BMI group, the association of DHA/AA (OR: 1.98, 95% CI: 0.48–8.24) was reversed and only high HbA1c (OR: 1.46, 95% CI: 1.03–2.08) strongly predicted ACS. The interaction test for OR estimates (two degrees of freedom) showed moderate evidence for reverse DHA/AA ratio–ACS associations among the BMI groups (P = 0.091). Conclusions DHA/AA ratio may be a useful marker for risk stratification of ACS, especially in non-obese patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Zoledronic acid infusion is used to treat osteoporosis but patients, especially Japanese patients, often experience acute-phase reactions (APRs). In this multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group study, we examined the efficacy of the most commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug loxoprofen in Japan in reducing the incidence rate of zoledronic acid-induced APRs and body temperature, and investigated risk/protective factors for APRs in this population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients aged ≥ 60 years with primary osteoporosis (n = 368) were allocated randomly to zoledronic acid plus loxoprofen (ZOL + LOX) or zoledronic acid alone (ZOL). All patients received 5-mg zoledronic acid infusion on day 1, and patients in the ZOL + LOX group also received 120 mg and 180 mg of oral loxoprofen on days 1 and 2, respectively. Adverse events and body temperature were recorded during the 7-day observation period. RESULTS The incidence rates of APRs were 34.4% (64/186 patients) and 47.8% (87/182 patients) in the ZOL + LOX and ZOL groups, respectively (P = 0.0109). The proportions of patients with increased body temperature (≥ 1 °C and ≥ 37.5 °C) were similar in both groups (P = 0.1186). Past bisphosphonate users had a significantly lower incidence rate of APRs than treatment-naïve patients (odds ratio 0.444, 95% confidence interval 0.285-0.692, P = 0.0003). CONCLUSIONS Zoledronic acid-induced APRs appeared to be suppressed by loxoprofen. Known risk/protective factors, including prior osteoporosis treatment, were applicable to Japanese patients.

Abstract
AIMS Malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) level has been reported to be strongly associated with the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. We focused on diabetic status and investigated its possible contribution to MDA-LDL level. METHODS The study sample consisted of 2705 patients who were admitted to our hospital and underwent cardiac catheterization. Blood samples were obtained to measure the levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), insulin, LDL, MDA-LDL and others. Body mass index (BMI) was also used in constructing structural equation modeling and Bayesian estimation. RESULTS To explore the factors theoretically associated with MDA-LDL level, we performed structural equation modeling. We generated a path model that revealed that BMI, LDL level and FBS were significantly associated with MDA-LDL level (P < 0.001 for each factor), whereas insulin level and HbA1c level were not significantly associated (P = NS for both factors). Noted above was clearly demonstrated on the image of 2-D contour line by Bayesian structure equation modeling. CONCLUSIONS This study clearly showed that hyperglycemia affects MDA-LDL level. An interaction between diabetes and dyslipidemia was shown in terms of activation of lipid oxidation.

Abstract
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) secretion is stimulated by cardiac dysfunction. However, it is unclear how finely myocardial ischaemia contributes to BNP secretion and whether increases in BNP secretion contribute to coronary vasodilation. This study investigated the direct interaction between plasma BNP levels and cardiac ischaemia using the baseline distal-to-aortic pressure ratio (Pd/Pa). We examined the baseline Pd/Pa and fractional flow reserve (FFR) in 167 patients with intermediate coronary stenosis. The plasma BNP level appeared to be associated with the baseline Pd/Pa in the study population, and this association appeared to become clear only in patients with an FFR ≤ 0.80. To examine the effect of the baseline Pd/Pa on the BNP level in these patients, structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed. The baseline Pd/Pa significantly affected the BNP level (β: -0.37, p = 0.003) and the left ventricular ejection fraction (β: 0.43, p = 0.001). To examine the role of BNP in coronary vasodilation, we proposed another path model using a novel value obtained by dividing the FFR by the baseline Pd/Pa (FFR/baseline Pd/Pa) as an index of the hyperaemic response. The BNP level significantly affected the FFR/baseline Pd/Pa (β: 0.48, p = 0.037). This study demonstrated that BNP finely responded to an exacerbation of cardiac ischaemia and that increases in BNP secretion effectively ameliorated coronary vasoconstriction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Tapering immunosuppressants is desirable in patients with well-controlled myasthenia gravis (MG). However, the association between tapering of calcineurin inhibitor dosage and reduction-associated exacerbation is not known. The aim of this study was to clarify the frequency of reduction-associated exacerbation when tacrolimus is tapered in stable patients with anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive MG, and to determine the factors that predict exacerbations. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 115 patients in whom tacrolimus dosage was tapered. The reduction-associated exacerbation was defined as the appearance or worsening of one or more MG symptoms <3 months after the reduction. RESULTS Tacrolimus dosage was successfully tapered in 110 patients (96%) without any exacerbation. Five patients (4%) experienced an exacerbation, but symptoms were reversed in all patients when the tacrolimus dose was increased to the previous maintenance level. No patient developed an MG crisis. The age at onset was significantly earlier (30 vs. 56 years, P = 0.025) and the reduction in dosage was significantly larger (2.0 vs. 1.0 mg/day, P = 0.002) in patients with reduction-associated exacerbation than in those without exacerbation. The cut-off values determined in a receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis were 52 years (sensitivity, 57%; specificity, 100%) for the age at onset and 1.5 mg (sensitivity, 80%; specificity, 100%) for the dose reduction. CONCLUSION Tapering of tacrolimus was possible in most patients with well-controlled anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody-positive MG. Early age at onset and a large reduction from maintenance dosage were associated with exacerbation. Reductions ≤1.5 mg/day from the maintenance dosage should be considered for patients with late-onset disease.

Abstract
Objectives: This study was performed to evaluate the effects of addition of tadalafil to tamsulosin in the treatment of brachytherapy patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Methods: Localized prostate cancer patients who developed LUTS after low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) were first treated with alpha-1 blockers (tamsulosin, 0.2 mg per day). Those still suffering from LUTS were additionally treated with phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (tadalafil, 5 mg/day). LUTS was evaluated by the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), IPSS Quality of Life (QOL) score, Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS), and the International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF5) score before brachytherapy, before treatment with tadalafil, and after three months of treatment with tadalafil. Results: Twenty-three patients were enrolled in the study. Each subscore of the IPSS (storage symptom, voiding symptom, and postvoiding symptom) and the QOL score improved, but OABSS and IIEF5 did not show significant recovery after addition of tadalafil treatment. When patient characteristics and each question score were surveyed, time from seed implantation until treatment with tadalafil showed the strongest correlation with recovery. Conclusions: Addition of tadalafil to tamsulosin treatment was effective against LUTS in localised prostate cancer patients after brachytherapy. Evidence level: 2b

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anaemia is a risk of worsening heart failure. However, anaemia sometimes remains undetected because the superficial cardiac function does not precisely reflect the adverse impact of anaemia. Plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) could be helpful in these cases. However, the direct anaemic effects on BNP remain unknown. Herein, we compared the direct effect of anaemia on BNP and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) using an advanced statistical procedure. DESIGN A retrospective study. SETTING Secondary care (cardiology), single-centre study. PARTICIPANTS The study consisted of 3756 inpatients, including 684 without ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and 3072 with IHD. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Relationship between plasma BNP levels and LVEF values. RESULTS A path model was constructed to simultaneously examine the adverse impact of anaemia on LVEF and plasma BNP, allowing for renal function. The path model revealed that LVEF increased in response to low haemoglobin (Hb), and the phenomenon was prominent in non-IHD (standardised regression coefficients (St.β): -0.264, p<0.001) rather than in IHD (St.β: 0.015, p=0.531). However, the response of BNP was commonly observed in both groups (non-IHD St.β: -0.238, IHD St.β: -0.398, p<0.001, respectively). Additionally, this study showed a direct link between low estimated glomerular filtration rate and high BNP independently of LVEF. Incrementally, Bayesian structural equation modelling in covariance structure analysis clearly supported this result. The scatter plots and simple regression analysis revealed that an adequate blood supply was approximately Hb 110 g/L and over in the non-IHD patients, whereas blood was not supplied in sufficient quantities even by Hb 130 g/L in patients with IHD. CONCLUSION The current study demonstrated that anaemia was a substantial risk for worsening cardiac overload as estimated by plasma BNP. The anaemic response of LVEF likely changed depending on underlying cardiac disorders (IHD or not). However, the response of BNP was robustly observed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The impact of postoperative intensive care upon patient outcomes was evaluated by retrospectively investigating the rate of poor outcomes among miscellaneous elective surgical patients with severe comorbidities. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study was carried out. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS Surgical patients with severe comorbidities. INTERVENTION The outcomes of 1218 surgical patients treated in intensive care units (ICUs) and postsurgical wards (ICU group vs. non-ICU group) were reviewed for poor outcomes (i.e., no discharge or death). A propensity score analysis was used to generate 248 matched pairs of ICU-admitted patients and controls. VARIABLES OF INTEREST Poor outcome rates on postoperative day 90 and mortality on postoperative days 30 and 90. RESULTS No significant between-group differences were observed in terms of poor outcomes on postoperative day 90 [ICU vs. non-ICU: 33/248 (13%) vs. 28/248 (11%), respectively; ICU odds ratio (OR): 1.19, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.71-2.01, p=0.596] or in between-group differences in terms of mortality on postoperative days 30 and 90 [ICU vs. non-ICU: 4/248 (1.6%) vs. 2/248 (0.8%) on postoperative day 30 and 5/248 (2.0%) vs. 3/248 (1.2%) on day 90, respectively; ICU OR (95% CI), 2.00 (0.37-10.9) and 1.67 (0.40-6.97) for postoperative 30- and 90-day mortality, respectively (p=0.683 and 0.724)]. Low preoperative body weight was negatively correlated to patient outcomes [OR (95% CI): 0.82/10kg (0.70-0.97), p=0.019], whereas regional analgesia combined with general anesthesia was positively correlated to patient outcomes [OR (95% CI): 0.39 (0.69-0.96), p=0.006]. Extra ICU admission was correlated to poor patient outcomes [OR (95% CI): 4.18 (2.23-7.81), p < 0.0001]. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative ICU admission failed to demonstrate any meaningful benefits in patients with severe comorbidities undergoing miscellaneous elective surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Clinical data regarding alendronate jelly are limited. We compared the efficacy and safety of once-weekly alendronate oral jelly with once-weekly alendronate tablet formulations in the context of primary osteoporosis. METHODS In this 6-month, open-label, prospective, observational study, Japanese patients aged ≥60 years with primary osteoporosis were included from 14 primary care centres in Japan. The effects of once-weekly alendronate oral jelly and tablet formulations on bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover markers, and quality of life related to gastrointestinal symptoms were assessed at baseline and 6 months. Treatment was allocated by patient preference. This potentially confounding factor was adjusted for statistically. RESULTS In total, 170 patients were enrolled (jelly, n = 97; tablet, n = 73). Mean percent changes in radius, lumbar spine, femoral neck, and hip BMD were similar in both treatment groups at 6 months. Both formulations decreased tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b) and procollagen 1 N-terminal peptide (P1NP) between baseline and 6 months (by about 50% and 60%, respectively); no significant differences in mean changes were noted in these markers between groups. At 6 months, no significant differences were noted in visual analogue scale or EuroQOL five-dimension questionnaire scores between groups. The jelly group had significantly lower scores than the tablet group in the Izumo scale domains of heartburn (-0.81, P = 0.0040), epigastralgia (-0.94, P = 0.0003), and epigastric fullness (-0.49, P = 0.044). During treatment, more patients discontinued for upper gastrointestinal symptoms in the tablet group (n = 4) than the jelly group (n = 1). CONCLUSIONS Once-weekly alendronate oral jelly 35 mg may be a suitable alternative therapeutic agent for primary osteoporosis in Japan.

Abstract
Digital holography (DH) is a promising method for non-contact surface topography because the reconstructed phase image can visualize the nanometer unevenness in a sample. However, the axial range of this method is limited to the range of the optical wavelength due to the phase wrapping ambiguity. Although the use of two different wavelengths of light and the resulting synthetic wavelength, i.e., synthetic wavelength DH, can expand the axial range up to several hundreds of millimeters, its axial precision does not reach sub-micrometer. In this article, we constructed a tunable external cavity laser diode phase-locked to an optical frequency comb, namely, an optical-comb-referenced frequency synthesizer, enabling us to generate multiple synthetic wavelengths within the range of 32 µm to 1.20 m. A multiple cascade link of the phase images among an optical wavelength ( = 1.520 µm) and 5 different synthetic wavelengths ( = 32.39 µm, 99.98 µm, 400.0 µm, 1003 µm, and 4021 µm) enables the shape measurement of a reflective millimeter-sized stepped surface with the axial resolution of 34 nm. The axial dynamic range, defined as the ratio of the axial range ( = 2.0 mm) to the axial resolution ( = 34 nm), achieves 5.9 × 105, which is larger than that of previous synthetic wavelength DH. Such a wide axial dynamic range capability will further expand the application field of DH for large objects with meter dimensions.
