Abstract
PURPOSE We assessed the association between oral frailty risk and LUTS among middle-aged and older adults in a community-dwelling population. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted among 586 subjects aged ≥ 40 years who participated in the Iwaki Health Promotion Project in Hirosaki, Japan. We used the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and the Overactive Bladder Symptom Score (OABSS) to assess LUTS. LUTS was defined as an IPSS score of 8 or higher or meeting diagnostic criteria for OAB. Oral frailty risk was defined as experiencing two or more of the following: decreased chewing ability, decreased biting force, and dry mouth sensation. Physical performance (10-m gait speed and grip strength) was used for analysis. The association between oral frailty risk and LUTS was examined using multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS The study included 218 men and 370 women, of whom 140 had LUTS. The mean age of this cohort was 59 years. Significant differences were observed between the LUTS and non-LUTS groups, including age, hypertension, history of CVD, depressive status, sleep disturbance, and 10 m gait speed. The prevalence of oral frailty risk was significantly higher in the LUTS group than in the non-LUTS group (26% vs. 11%, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that age, male gender, and oral frailty risk (odds ratio: 2.67, 95% confidence interval: 1.57-4.51, P < 0.001) were independent factors for LUTS. Moreover, oral frailty risk was an independent factor in both participants aged < 65 years and participants aged ≥ 65 years. CONCLUSIONS Oral frailty was independently associated with LUTS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular diseases are still highly prevalent after kidney transplantation. However, little is known about the impact of the timing of rejection episodes on cardiovascular disease. The study aimed to analyze the influence of the timing of rejection episodes on cardiovascular events in recipients of living donor kidney transplantation. METHODS We studied 572 living donor kidney transplant recipients from the Michinoku Renal Transplant Network (MRTN), which includes 6 centers in the Tohoku region of Japan. Fine-Gray proportional hazards regression analysis with time-dependent variables was used to assess the effect of rejection episode on cardiovascular events. Recipients were divided into three groups: those without rejection (non-rejection, 370 patients), rejection within 6 months after transplantation (early rejection, 99 patients), and rejection after 6 months (late rejection, 103 patients). The effect of timing on cardiovascular events was evaluated using Fine-Gray proportional hazards regression analysis. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 77 months, 70 patients experienced cardiovascular events. Rejection episodes were significantly associated with cardiovascular events (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.08, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.26-3.43, P = 0.004), along with age and dialysis vintage. The 5-year cumulative incidence of cardiovascular events was significantly higher in the late rejection group than in the early rejection group (15% vs. 3.3%, P = 0.021). However, no significant difference in 5-year cumulative cardiovascular event incidence was observed between the early rejection and non-rejection groups. Late rejection was significantly associated with cardiovascular events (HR: 2.40, 95% CI: 1.38-4.18, P = 0.002), whereas early rejection was not significantly correlated with cardiovascular event risk (HR: 1.18, P = 0.670). CONCLUSIONS Rejections occurring more than 6 months after transplantation is significantly associated with risk of cardiovascular events. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER 2019-099-1, date of registration; 3 Dec. 2019, retrospectively registered.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of severe erectile dysfunction (ED) on future major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in men on dialysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study included 71 men on dialysis. ED was assessed using the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM). Men were divided into the mild/moderate ED (SHIM score ≥8) and severe ED (SHIM score ≤7) groups. The primary endpoint was MACE-free survival. MACE was a composite of myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, and stroke. The secondary endpoints were cardiac event-free survival and overall survival (OS). Moreover, the predictive abilities of severe ED for 5-year MACE, 5-year cardiac events, and 5-year overall mortality were evaluated. RESULTS The median age and follow-up period of the included men were 64 years and 58 months, respectively. The median SHIM score was 4.0; all had a degree of ED, and 64.7% had severe ED. In the background-adjusted multivariable analyses, severe ED was not significantly associated with shorter MACE-free survival (hazard ratio [HR], 1.890; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.533-6.706; p=0.324), cardiac event-free survival (HR, 2.081; 95% CI, 0.687-6.304; p=0.195), and OS (HR, 0.817; 95% CI, 0.358-1.863; p=0.630). Severe ED did not significantly improve the predictive abilities for 5-year MACE, 5-year cardiac events, and 5-year overall mortality (p=0.110, p=0.101, and p=0.740, respectively). CONCLUSIONS ED severity was not associated with shorter MACE-free survival, cardiac event-free survival, or OS, and ED severity could not improve the predictive abilities for these outcomes in men undergoing dialysis.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the humoral response after the second and third doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine in ABO blood type incompatible kidney transplant (KT) recipients treated with rituximab. This retrospective study conducted between June 2021 and June 2022 included 131 KT recipients and 154 nontransplant controls who had received mRNA vaccines. We compared the seropositivity (anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike IgG antibody titer ≥ 0.8 U/mL) after the second and third vaccinations. Furthermore, we evaluated the impact of pretransplant vaccination for seropositivity. Of the 131 KT recipients, 50 had received the third dose of mRNA vaccine. The antibody titer was significantly increased after the third dose of mRNA vaccine. The seropositivity rate after the third dose of mRNA vaccine increased from 36 to 70%. We observed no significant difference in seropositivity after the third dose of mRNA vaccine in ABO incompatibility, rituximab use, mycophenolate mofetil use, and age at KT. Of the nine recipients who had received the second or third dose of the mRNA vaccine prior to the KT, eight of the recipients were seropositive both before and after the KT. Our results suggest that ABO incompatibility or rituximab use was not significantly associated with seropositivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of radical nephroureterectomy on postoperative renal function in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 645 patients with UTUC treated with radical nephroureterectomy between January 2000 and May 2022. The primary outcome was the rate of postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 . Secondary outcomes included the rate of eGFR decline, identification of factors related to eGFR decline, and the impact of comorbidities (diabetes or cardiovascular disease) on postoperative eGFR at 1 year. RESULTS The median preoperative and postoperative eGFR levels were 55.6 and 43.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 , respectively. The rate of patients with preoperative and postoperative eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was 40.9% and 9.0%, respectively. The median decline in eGFR after surgery was 25.1%. The presence of preoperative unilateral hydronephrosis and eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was significantly associated with a low decline of postoperative eGFR and poor survival. The impact of the presence of comorbidities on postoperative eGFR at 1 year was significant (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Impaired renal function is prevalent in patients with UTUC. The rate of patients with postoperative eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 was 9.0%. The presence of preoperative renal impairment was significantly related to a low decline in postoperative eGFR and poor survival. The presence of comorbidities had a significant effect on eGFR decline 1 year after radical nephroureterectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the impact of global aging on the trends in the age of hospitalized patients with a urological cancer diagnosis. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated a cumulative total of 10 652 cases of referred patients (n = 6637) with a urological disease who were hospitalized in our institution between January 2005 and December 2021. We compared age and the proportion of patients aged ≥80 years among patients who were hospitalized in the urological ward between the period of 2005-2013 and that of 2014-2021. RESULTS We identified 8168 hospitalized patients with urological cancer. The median age was significantly increased in patients with urological cancer between the periods of 2005-2013 and 2014-2021. The proportion of hospitalized patients with urological cancer aged ≥80 years was significantly increased between the periods of 2005-2013 (9.3%) and 2014-2021 (13.8%). The median ages of the patients with urothelial cancer (UC) and renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but not the median age of those with prostate cancer (PC), were significantly increased between the study periods. The proportion of hospitalized patients with UC, but not the proportions of those with PC and RCC, aged ≥80 years was significantly increased between the study periods. CONCLUSIONS The age of patients with urological cancer who were hospitalized in the urological ward and the proportion of patients with UC aged ≥80 years significantly increased over the entire study period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the relationship between frailty and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). METHODS We longitudinally evaluated the temporal changes and the relationships between frailty and LUTS in 247 community-dwelling adults (45 years or older) at baseline and at a 5-year follow-up. We used the Fried phenotype (phenotype-based frailty), 5-item modified frailty index (5i-mFI; comorbidity-based frailty), and frailty discriminant score (comprehensive frailty assessment) to evaluate frailty. LUTS were evaluated using the international prostate symptom score (IPSS) and overactive bladder symptom score (OABSS). RESULTS We analyzed 247 participants with a median age of 60 years. The median IPSS and OABSS were significantly increased over the 5 years. The proportion of frail individuals did not increase significantly over the 5 years. Of the three frailty assessment tools, the 5i-mFI score significantly increased between 2014 and 2019. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that the 5i-mFI score was significantly associated with the severity of LUTS in 2014 to 5i-mFI in 2019 but not with 5i-mFI in 2014 to the severity of LUTS in 2019. CONCLUSION The effect of LUTS on frailty might be greater than the effect of frailty on LUTS. Further large-scale studies are needed to elucidate the relationship between LUTS and frailty.

Abstract
We have developed a SERS stamp that can be pressed directly onto a solid surface for characterization of surface-adsorbed target molecules. The stamp was fabricated by transfer of a dense monolayer of SiO2 nanospheres from a glass surface onto a piece of adhesive tape and subsequent evaporation of silver. The performance of the resulting SERS stamps was evaluated by their exposure to methyl mercaptan vapor, and immersion in rhodamine 6G and ferbam solutions. It was found that beside the nanosphere diameter and metal deposition thickness, the extent of burial of the nanospheres into the adhesive tape, dictated by the pressure during the nanosphere transfer process, had a significant effect. We carried out FDTD calculations of the near field. Models are based on morphological information obtained from helium ion microscopy, which can provide high-resolution images of poor electrical conductors such as our SERS stamp. While one of our main eventual goals is detection of pesticides on agricultural produce, we have begun to take a careful step by testing our SERS stamp on better characterized surfaces such as a porous gel surface, having been immersed in fungicides such as ferbam. We also present our preliminary results with ferbam on oranges. It is expected that our well-characterized SERS stamp will play a role in shedding light on the poorly studied transfer process of target molecules onto a SERS surface as well as serving as a new SERS platform.

Abstract
PURPOSE Accelerated atherosclerosis is a major complication in patients with end-stage renal disease and it plays an important role in the pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction (ED). However, the association between aortic calcification burden and the severity of ED remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate this association in men undergoing dialysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included 71 men undergoing peritoneal dialysis and/or hemodialysis between July 2016 and May 2018 at Mutsu General Hospital. ED was assessed with the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM). Patients were divided into the mild/moderate (SHIM score ≥8) and severe ED groups (SHIM score ≤7). Aortic calcification index (ACI) was examined as a clinical indicator of abdominal aortic calcification. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the significant factors associated with severe ED. RESULTS The median age of the study participants was 64 years; all had ED, with 64.8% having severe ED. In the multivariable analyses, a slight association was observed between ankle-brachial index and severe ED (odds ratio [OR], 0.058; p=0.072), whereas ACI was significantly associated with severe ED (OR, 1.022; p=0.022). CONCLUSIONS Aortic calcification burden was independently associated with severe ED.

Abstract
Background Testicular germ cell tumors (GCTs) are the most common type of cancer in adolescent boys and young adult men, but the age at onset has been increasing. However, little is known regarding the incidence and age of patients with testicular GCTs in Japan because the incidence there is low. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with GCTs in seven hospitals between 2001 and 2021. We compared the incidences of testicular GCTs, ages at onset, pathological types (seminoma or nonseminoma), and clinical stages in patients with GCTs between the periods 2001-2010 and 2011-2021. Results We identified 193 adults (≥20 years of age) with testicular GCTs; their median age was 37 years [interquartile range (IQR), 29-47 years]. Of these patients, 87 (45.1%) were ≥40 years of age at diagnosis. The proportion of patients aged ≥40 years was significantly higher in the period 2011-2021 (54.8%) than in 2001-2010 (30.8%; P=0.001). The incidence of seminoma was significantly higher in the period 2011-2021, but clinical stage did not differ significantly between the two periods. The population-adjusted incidence among patients in their 40s was 3.4-fold higher in 2011-2021 than in 2001-2010. Conclusions The number of patients with GCTs aged ≥40 years was significantly higher in 2011-2021, even in a population-adjusted analysis. Treatment strategies need to be adapted to older testicular germ cell tumor patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the effects of apalutamide dose reduction on skin-related adverse events (AEs) and castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)-free survival in patients with advanced prostate cancer (PC). METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 35 patients with nonmetastatic CRPC and 72 patients with treatment-naïve metastatic castration-sensitive PC (mCSPC) who were treated with apalutamide. The primary outcome was the effect of apalutamide dose reduction on skin-related AEs. The secondary outcomes were the effect of apalutamide dose reduction on skin-related AEs in patients with small body size, postskin AE apalutamide discontinuation rate, and CRPC-free survival in patients with mCSPC treated with upfront apalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy. RESULTS Of the 107 patients, 65 (60.7%) and 42 (39.3%) were treated with full and reduced doses of apalutamide, respectively. The skin-related AE rate was not significantly different between the groups (55% vs. 43%, p = 0.761). In the group receiving reduced apalutamide dose, the incidence of skin-related AEs was significantly lower in patients with small body sizes (body weight <67 kg and body mass index <24 kg/m2 ) than in those with other body sizes. The postskin AE apalutamide discontinuation rate was significantly differed between patients receiving the full (50%) and reduced (16.7%) doses. In the 72 patients with mCSPC, CRPC-free survival was not significantly different between the full and reduced dose groups. CONCLUSION Apalutamide dose reduction was not significantly associated with the incidence of skin-related AEs. However, dose reduction in patients with small body sizes may alleviate skin-related AEs without sacrificing oncological outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE We compared the real-world efficacy and medical costs for treatment with upfront docetaxel (DOC) and abiraterone acetate (ABI) up to progression-free survival 2 (PFS2) in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). METHODS This multicenter retrospective study included 340 patients with mHSPC treated with either upfront DOC or upfront ABI between October 2015 and December 2021. We compared PFS2 and medical costs between the two treatment groups. PFS2 was defined as the time from first-line therapy to progression on second-line therapy. Medical costs were estimated using the National Health Insurance drug prices in 2022 in Japan. RESULTS The upfront DOC and ABI groups included 107 and 233 patients, respectively. The incidence of metastatic castration-resistant PC progression was significantly higher in the upfront DOC group compared with the incidence in the upfront ABI group. However, no significant differences in PFS2 were observed between the two treatment groups. Monthly medical costs per patient were significantly higher in the upfront ABI group ($3453) compared with the costs in the upfront DOC group ($1239, P < 0.001). The cost differences were significantly influenced by differences in the length of androgen deprivation therapy monotherapy (DOC group, 13.4 months vs. ABI group, 0.0 months). CONCLUSIONS We observed a significant cost benefit in the upfront DOC group in Japanese real-world practice, while the PFS2 rates were similar between the groups. Upfront DOC was a more cost-effective option for men with mHSPC who were eligible for toxic chemotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the oncological and urinary functional outcomes of reproductive organ-sparing radical cystectomy (ROS-RC) and U-shaped ileal neobladder construction in females compared with male patients. METHODS We retrospectively examined 357 patients (281 male and 76 female) with muscle-invasive bladder cancer who were treated with RC plus U-shaped ileal neobladder construction between May 1996 and July 2021. All female patients were treated with ROS-RC. We compared disease-free survival (DFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), overall survival (OS), and urinary functional outcomes between male and female patients. We evaluated the effect of gender on DFS, CSS, and OS. Furthermore, urinary functional outcomes were evaluated in 140 males and 48 females using a pressure-flow study at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS Female patients were considerably older than male patients at the time of radical cystectomy. No significant difference was noted in the tumor stage preoperatively. The multivariable Cox regression analysis with an inverse probability treatment weighted model revealed that the female gender was not significantly related to DFS, CSS, and OS. Moreover, urinary functions at 12 months were not markedly different between males and females, except for the capacity of the neobladder, detrusor pressure, and maximum urethral closure pressure. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that female patients with ROS-RC and U-shaped ileal neobladder construction did not significantly correlate with worse oncological outcomes. The combination of ROS-RC and U-shaped ileal neobladder construction might attain adequate urinary function without sacrificing oncologic outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations of impaired muscle strength and gait function with the severity of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men undergoing dialysis. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 63 men undergoing dialysis. ED was assessed with the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM). Patients were divided into the mild/moderate (SHIM score ≥8) and severe ED groups (SHIM score ≤7). Correlations between variables were analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of impaired grip strength and gait function on the severity of ED. RESULTS The median age of the study participants was 62 years; all had ED, with 67% having severe ED. Spearman's rank correlation test demonstrated significant negative and positive correlations between gait function and SHIM score (ρ = -0.257, p = 0.042) and between grip strength and SHIM score (ρ = 0.305, p = 0.015), respectively. In the multivariable analyses, impaired grip strength was significantly associated with severe ED (odds ratio [OR]: 4.965, p = 0.017), whereas gait function was not (OR: 3.147, p = 0.064). CONCLUSION Impaired muscle strength was significantly associated with severe ED, whereas impaired gait function had a marginal effect on this erectile condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The effect of concomitant steroid use on the antibody response to a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with prostate cancer (PC) remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate the rates of antispike immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody response to the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in patients with PC using steroids. METHODS This cross-sectional study conducted from June 21, 2021 to January 5, 2022 included 215 patients with PC who received the second dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine at least 7 days before the measurement of titers of IgG antibodies against the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein. We compared the rate of anti-SARS-CoV-2 S IgG ≥15 U/mL between patients with or without concomitant steroid use. RESULTS Of 215, we identified 33 patients who had concomitant steroid use. Of these, 12 and 21 patients were metastatic castration-sensitive PC and castration-resistant PC (CRPC), respectively. Patients with concomitant steroid use had a significantly lower rate of antibody titer ≥15 U/mL than those without steroid use (82% vs. 95%, P = 0.021). Patients with CRPC with concomitant steroid use (n =21) also had a lower rate of antibody titer ≥15 U/mL (71%) than those without steroid use (93%, P = 0.051), although this was not statistically different. Increased number of systemic treatments administered after diagnosis of CRPC (3 lines or more) were significantly associated with antibody titers <15 U/mL (97% vs. 77%, P <0.001). CONCLUSION The humoral response to the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine was significantly lower in patients with concomitant steroid use. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S antibody titers were affected by CRPC status, the accumulation of post-CRPC treatments, and steroid use.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the cross-sectional area of the dural sac (DCSA) and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). This study included 270 Japanese participants from a community health check-up in 2016. Overactive bladder (OAB) was diagnosed during the assessment of LUTS. The smallest DCSA of each participant was defined as the minimum DCSA (mDCSA). The cutoff size of the mDCSA in OAB was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis. Multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the independent risk factors for OAB, and a scoring system was developed for estimating these. The prevalence of OAB was 11.1%. Age and low back pain visual analogue scale (LBP VAS) scores were significantly higher, and the mean mDCSA was significantly lower in participants with OAB than in those without. The cutoff size of mDCSA in OAB was 69 mm2. There were significant correlations between OAB and age, LBP VAS score, and mDCSA<70 mm2. Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) should be considered a cause of LUTS when mDCSA is <69 mm2. Assessing the mDCSA with age and LBP VAS score was more valuable in detecting LUTS in LSS than the mDCSA alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-grade systemic inflammation and malnutrition are frequently observed in patients on dialysis and contribute to the development of endothelial dysfunction, however, the role of these conditions in erectile dysfunction (ED) severity remains to be elucidated. OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationships of low-grade systemic inflammation and nutritional status with ED severity in men on dialysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present study included 71 men on dialysis. The Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) was used to assess ED. Men were classified as the mild/moderate (SHIM score ≥ 8) and severe ED (SHIM score ≤ 7) groups. C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR) and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) were used to evaluate low-grade systemic inflammation and nutritional status, respectively. We performed multivariate analysis to assess the relationships of CAR and GNRI with severe ED. RESULTS The median age of the included men was 64 years old. All men had any degree of ED with 65% having severe ED. In the univariate analyses, a significant association was observed between elevated CAR (≥ 0.09) and severe ED (odds ratio [OR]: 4.038, P = 0.025), whereas no significant association was observed between lower GNRI (< 92) and severe ED (OR: 2.357, P = 0.109). In the multivariate analysis, an association between elevated CAR and severe ED was still significant (OR: 5.985, P = 0.010). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Low-grade systemic inflammation was significantly associated with ED severity, whereas lower GNRI was not. These results may be helpful for further research to identify the optimal treatment for men suffering from severe ED. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
We aimed to determine the survival and staging benefit of limited pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) during radical prostatectomy (RP) in high-risk prostate cancer (PC) patients treated with neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy. We retrospectively analyzed 516 patients with high-risk localized PC (< cT4N0M0) who received neoadjuvant androgen-deprivation therapy plus estramustine phosphate followed by RP between January 2010 and March 2020. Since we stopped limited PLND for such patients in October 2015, we compared the surgical outcomes and biochemical recurrence-free survival (BCR-FS) between the limited-PLND group (before October 2015, n = 283) and the non-PLND group (after November 2015, n = 233). The rate of node metastases in the limited-PLND group were 0.8% (2/283). Operation time was significantly longer (176 vs. 162 min) and the rate of surgical complications were much higher (all grades; 19 vs. 6%, grade ≥ 3; 3 vs. 0%) in the limited-PLND group. The inverse probability of treatment weighting-Cox analysis revealed limited PLND had no significant impact on BCR-FS (hazard ratio, 1.44; P = 0.469). Limited PLND during RP after neoadjuvant chemohormonal therapy showed quite low rate of positive nodes, higher rate of complications, and no significant impact on BCR-FS.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence and investigated factors associated with seropositivity after the second SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination in kidney transplant (KT) recipients. This retrospective study conducted between June and November 2021 included 106 KT recipients and 127 healthy controls who received the second dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine at least 7 days before the measurement of antibody titers. The antibody titer against the receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein was determined. We compared seroprevalence rates (immunoglobulin G [IgG] level of ≥ 0.8 or ≥ 15 U/mL) between the healthy controls and KT recipients and identified factors associated with impaired humoral response. The seroprevalence rate of the healthy controls and KT recipients was 98% and 22%, respectively. Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age > 53 years, rituximab use, mycophenolate mofetil use, and KT vintage < 7 years were negatively associated with the rate of anti-SARS-CoV-2 S IgG ≥ 15 U/mL in KT recipients. ABO blood type incompatible KT was not significantly associated with seroprevalence. Humoral response after the second BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine was greatly hindered by immunosuppression therapy in KT recipients. Older age, rituximab use, mycophenolate mofetil use, and KT vintage may play key roles in seroconversion.

Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the serologic response to the BNT162b2 messenger ribonucleic acid vaccine in patients with urothelial carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. Methods Between June 2021 and November 2021, we retrospectively evaluated blood samples from 60 healthy controls (control group), 57 patients with urothelial carcinoma, and 28 patients with renal cell carcinoma who had received two doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine at Hirosaki University Hospital. We determined the immunoglobulin G antibody titers against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike receptor‐binding domain. Seropositivity was defined as ≥15 U/mL. We investigate factors associated with antibody titers and seropositivity in the patients with urothelial carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. Results Antibody titers in the control, urothelial carcinoma, and renal cell carcinoma groups were 813, 431, and 500 U/mL, respectively. Seropositivity was 100%, 90%, and 96% in the control, urothelial carcinoma, and renal cell carcinoma groups, respectively. Of the 85 patients, 37 of 57 (65%) and 21 of 28 (75%) were actively undergoing anticancer treatment for urothelial carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma, respectively. Anti‐severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike immunoglobulin G antibody titers and seropositivity was not significantly different between the patients with urothelial carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma. Anti‐severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike immunoglobulin G antibody titers were not significantly associated with active anticancer therapy or steroid treatment for immune‐related adverse events. Univariable logistic regression analysis revealed that older age and metastatic disease were significantly and negatively associated with seropositivity. Conclusions Patients with urothelial carcinoma or renal cell carcinoma exhibited an adequate antibody response to the BNT162b2 vaccine. Active anticancer therapy was not significantly associated with seropositivity following vaccination with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 BNT162b2 in patients with urothelial carcinoma and renal cell carcinoma.

Abstract
254 Background: The CheckMate 274 trial demonstrated a benefit in disease-free survival (DFS) with adjuvant nivolumab therapy in patients at high risk of muscle-invasive UC and may become a standard of care in the future. In that study, postoperative pT3-4/ypT2-4 or pN+ was used as an inclusion criterion for the high-risk group, but the validity of this criterion in clinical practice remains unclear. Also, there is an urgent need for the proportion of patients who are eligible for adjuvant immunotherapy in clinical practice. We aimed to evaluate the effect of postoperative pathological findings related to the eligibility of adjuvant immunotherapy on oncologic outcomes in patients with localized and locally advanced muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma (MIBC) and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 1082 patients treated with radical cystectomy (n = 597) and nephroureterectomy (n = 485) between January 2000 and April 2021. Patients were divided into two groups: pT3-4 or pN+ without neoadjuvant chemotherapy and ypT2-4 or pN+ treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (trial-eligible group) or others (trial-ineligible group). The primary outcome was the effect of trial eligibility for adjuvant immunotherapy on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Secondary outcomes included the additional effect of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) status to the clinical trial criteria on prognosis and a risk model development. Results: The median age of the patients was 69 and 72 years in the MIBC and UTUC groups, respectively. Fifty-two percent of patients met the trial inclusion criteria. Trial eligibility was significantly associated with poor DFS and OS among patients with MIBC and UTUC. LVI-positive status was significantly associated with poor prognosis among patients in the trial-eligible group. A very high risk (LVI+ or pN+ among the pT3-4 or ypT2-4) was significantly associated with poor prognosis. Conclusions: A total of 52% of patients were eligible for adjuvant immunotherapy. Trial eligibility was significantly associated with a poor prognosis. LVI+ and pN+ may play a key role in candidate selection for adjuvant immunotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of 6-cycle completion and earlier use of radium-233 dichloride (Ra223) on the prognosis of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 75 patients with bone metastases-predominant mCRPC who were treated with Ra223 between August 2016 and August 2021. The primary purpose of the study was to assess the effect of Ra223 completion (6 cycles) on patient prognosis, and the secondary purpose was to investigate factors associated with Ra223 incompletion (fewer than 6 cycles) and overall survival. RESULTS The median age of the patients was 72 years. The median number of Ra223 administrations was 6 (interquartile range, 5-6), and the median Ra223 completion rate was 75%. The median time from mCRPC diagnosis to Ra223 administration was 17 months, and the median number of prior treatments was 2. Multivariable analysis indicated that unfavorable performance status (>0), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level >10 ng/ml, extension of bone metastasis score 3 to 4, and Ra223 incompletion were significantly associated with poor overall survival. In addition, EOD 3 to 4 and 3 or more prior CRPC treatments were significantly associated with Ra223 incompletion. CONCLUSION Six-cycle completion and earlier administration of Ra233 are potentially associated with favorable survival. Unfavorable factors (EOD 3-4 and ≥3 prior treatments) were significantly associated with Ra223 incompletion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the impact of Gleason pattern 5 presence on prognosis among de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients with a Gleason score ≥8. METHODS The data of 559 patients diagnosed as metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with a Gleason score ≥8, who were initially treated with androgen deprivation therapy from 2008 to 2016, were retrospectively collected. Patients were divided into two groups as high and low volume based on the CHAARTED trial criteria. RESULTS The median overall survival of the 559 metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients with Gleason score ≥8 was 70 months, with a median follow-up period of 36 months. Gleason pattern 5 was confirmed in 341 patients (61.0%), in which primary Gleason pattern 5 was confirmed in 164 patients (29.3%). The number of patients with high metastatic volume group was 363 (64.9%). In total and high metastatic volume groups, hemoglobin and lactate dehydrogenase were significant factors for predicting overall survival, but both Gleason pattern 5 and primary Gleason pattern 5 did not show a statistically significant difference. In the low-volume metastatic group, the median overall survival in patients with or without primary Gleason pattern 5 was 40 and 78 months, respectively. In multivariate analysis, only primary Gleason pattern 5 was an independent predictive factor for overall survival in the low-volume metastatic group (hazard ratio 2.76, 95% confidence interval 1.88-8.67; P = 0.0026). CONCLUSION The presence of Gleason pattern 5 was not associated with overall survival in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with a Gleason score ≥8. In low-metastatic volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, primary Gleason pattern 5 was a poor prognostic factor, which might show a separate treatment option for this group.

Abstract
Introduction The albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade is a novel indicator of the liver function. Some studies showed that the ALBI grade was a prognostic and predictive biomarker for the efficacy of chemotherapy in cancer patients. The association between the ALBI grade and outcomes in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with cancer immunotherapy, however, is poorly understood. Methods We retrospectively enrolled 452 patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC who received anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)-based therapy between 2016 and 2019 at three medical centers in Japan. The ALBI score was calculated from albumin and bilirubin measured at the time of treatment initiation and was stratified into three categories, ALBI grade 1-3, with reference to previous reports. We examined the clinical impact of the ALBI grade on the outcomes of NSCLC patients receiving anti-PD-1-based therapy using Kaplan–Meier survival curve analysis with log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. Results The classifications of the 452 patients were as follows: grade 1, n = 158 (35.0%); grade 2, n = 271 (60.0%); and grade 3, n = 23 (5.0%). Kaplan–Meier survival curve analysis showed that the ALBI grade was significantly associated with progression-free survival and overall survival. Moreover, Cox regression analysis revealed that the ALBI grade was an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival and overall survival. Conclusion The ALBI grade was an independent prognostic factor for survival in patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC who receive anti-PD-1-based therapy. These findings should be validated in a prospective study with a larger sample size. ALBI grade is calculated from albumin and bilirubin. We evaluated the impact of ALBI grade on survival in NSCLC patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors. ALBI grade was an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). ALBI grade effectively stratified PFS and OS in patients with performance status 1-3. ALBI grade was significantly associated with PFS and OS, regardless of programmed death ligand-1.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the influence of gut microbiome on overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms progression. METHODS This was a 3-year longitudinal study, Hirosaki in Japan. We assessed OAB symptoms and reviewed the medication records of each subject in 2016. We extracted 16S rRNA genes from fecal samples and analyzed gut microbiomes via next-generation sequencing. We evaluated the changes in urinary urgency (UU) and/or urgent urinary incontinence (UUI) from 2016 to 2019. We defined UU/UUI-progression as exacerbation of UU and/or UUI. We compared the clinical backgrounds and microbiota structure between UU/UUI-progression subjects and non-progression (controls). We assessed the impact of gut microbiome on the UU/UUI-progression via multivariate logistic regression analyses. RESULTS Of 669 subjects, 126 were UU/UUI-progression subjects. These subjects had a higher age and prevalence of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use (14% vs. 5.4%, P = 0.003), irritable bowel syndrome, sleep disturbance, and metabolic syndrome than those without. We found the different microbiota structures between subjects with UU/UUI-progression and those without. A higher relative abundance of genus Streptococcus (harmful bacterial genus for human health) appeared in UU/UUI-progression subjects (3.8% vs. 2.3%, P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that age ≥ 65 years, current smoking, sleep disturbance, metabolic syndrome, and genus Streptococcus (Odds ratio: 1.05, P = 0.029) were independent risk factors for UU/UUI-progression. PPI use turned to be a significant risk factor on a multivariate analysis without including genus Streptococcus. CONCLUSIONS Gut microbiome might be associated with a risk for OAB symptoms progression. PPI use might cause gut dysbiosis and increase this risk.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effects of the concomitant use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and/or antibiotics (Abs) on oncological outcomes in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma. Patients and methods We retrospectively evaluated 155 patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma who were treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) between August 2015 and April 2021. The concomitant use of PPI or Abs was defined as any PPI or Abs administered within 30 days before ICI initiation and during ICI therapy. The primary outcomes were the effect of PPI and/or Abs use on the objective response rate (ORR) and immune‐related adverse events (irAEs). The secondary outcomes were the effects of PPI and/or Abs use on progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) after ICI therapy analyzed using the inverse probability of treatment weighting‐adjusted Cox regression analysis. Results Of the 155 patients enrolled in the study, 99 (64%) were PPI users and 56 (36%) Abs users. PPI users were associated with a significantly poorer ORR than non‐PPI users (41% vs. 20%, respectively), whereas Abs use was not significantly associated with changes in ORR. The rate of irAEs was not significantly associated with the use of PPIs or Abs. Multivariate inverse probability of treatment weighting‐adjusted Cox regression analysis revealed significantly poorer PFS and OS in PPI users than in non‐PPI users, whereas Abs use was not associated with poorer outcomes. Conclusion The concomitant use of PPI may adversely affect oncological outcomes in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma treated with ICI therapy.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effect of postoperative pathological findings related to the eligibility of adjuvant immunotherapy on oncologic outcomes in patients with localized and locally advanced muscle‐invasive bladder carcinoma (MIBC) and upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Patients and methods We retrospectively evaluated 1082 patients treated with radical cystectomy (n = 597) and nephroureterectomy (n = 485) between January 2000 and April 2021. Patients were divided into two groups: pT3‐4 or pN+ without neoadjuvant chemotherapy and ypT2‐4 or pN+ treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (trial‐eligible group) or others (trial‐ineligible group). The primary outcome was the effect of trial eligibility for adjuvant immunotherapy on disease‐free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Secondary outcomes included the additional effect of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) status to the clinical trial criteria on prognosis and a risk model development. Results The median ages of the patients were 69 and 72 years in the MIBC and UTUC groups, respectively. Fifty‐two percent of patients met the trial inclusion criteria. Trial eligibility was significantly associated with poor DFS and OS among patients with MIBC and UTUC. LVI‐positive status was significantly associated with poor prognosis among patients in the trial‐eligible group. A very high risk (LVI+ or pN+ among the pT3‐4 or ypT2‐4) was significantly associated with poor prognosis. Conclusion A total of 52% of patients were eligible for adjuvant immunotherapy. Trial eligibility was significantly associated with a poor prognosis. LVI+ and pN+ may play a key role in candidate selection for adjuvant immunotherapy.
