Abstract
We have previously reported that chromatin licensing and DNA replication factor 1 (CDT1) is associated with the postoperative recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Based on this fact, we verified whether CDT1 mRNA expression is also associated with HCC development from chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and liver cirrhosis (LC). There were 142 cases with CHC or LC who underwent liver biopsy. Detection of CDT1 mRNA in liver was performed by RT-qPCR using frozen liver biopsy tissues. We examined the association between the CDT1 mRNA expression and clinical conditions and long-term outcome. We then examined the association between serum cytokine/chemokine levels and CDT1 mRNA expression in 58 cases. The cumulative incidence rates of HCC development in cases with CDT1 mRNA in the low expression group showed significantly lower than those in the high expression group (p = 0.0391). A significant correlation was found between CDT1 mRNA expression and the extent of proliferation of atypical hepatocytes in hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections (p<0.0001). CDT1 mRNA expression has been associated with cytokines involved in tumorigenesis in experimental and human cancers. We found that cases with high CDT1 mRNA expression were at risk for developing HCC, even if they were CHC or LC.

Abstract
Beach sand harbors a diverse group of microbial organisms that may be of public health concern. Nonetheless, little is known about the presence and distribution of viruses in beach sand. In this study, the first objective was to evaluate the presence of seven viruses (Aichi virus, enterovirus, hepatitis A virus, human adenovirus, norovirus, rotavirus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)) in sands collected at public beaches. The second objective was to assess the spatial distribution of enteric viruses in beach sand. To that end, 27 beach sand samples from different beaches in Portugal were collected between November 2018 and August 2020 and analyzed for the presence of viruses. At seven beaches, samples were collected in the supratidal and intertidal zones. Results show that viruses were detected in 89 % (24/27) of the sand samples. Aichi virus was the most prevalent (74 %). Noroviruses were present in 19 % of the samples (norovirus GI - 15 %, norovirus GII - 4 %). Human adenovirus and enterovirus were detected in 48 % and 22 % of the samples, respectively. Hepatitis A virus and rotavirus were not detected. Similarly, SARS-CoV-2 in beach sand collected during the initial stages of the pandemic was also not detected. The detection of three or more viruses occurred in 15 % of the samples. Concentrations of viruses were as high as 7.2 log copies (cp)/g of sand. Enteric viruses were found in higher prevalence in sand collected from the supratidal zone compared to the intertidal zone. Human adenovirus was detected in 43 % of the supratidal and 14 % in the intertidal samples and Aichi virus in 57 % and 86 % of the intertidal and supratidal areas, respectively. Our findings suggest that beach sand can be a reservoir of enteric viruses, suggesting that it might be a vehicle for disease transmission, particularly for children, the elderly, and immunocompromised users.

Abstract
We previously reported that chromatin licensing and DNA replication factor 1 (CDT1) expression was associated with the extent of proliferation of atypical hepatocytes and the time to postoperative recurrence in cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to clarify the clinical significance or pathogenesis of CDT1 expression in both non-cancerous and cancerous liver in HCC cases, including previously published data. We investigated the association between the expression of CDT1 in non-cancerous or cancerous liver tissues and histologic findings or biochemical examination results in 62 cases. We also examined the dual localization between CDT1 and FbxW7, P57kip2, P53 and c-Myc by confocal laser scanning microscopy. CDT1 mRNA expression was significantly higher in cancerous liver than in non-cancerous liver (p<0.0001). Elevated CDT1 mRNA expression indicates a significantly degree of inflammatory cell infiltration within lobules, along with elevated serum transaminase levels, and hepatic spare decline. CDT1 mRNA was highly expressed in a group of poorly differentiated cancer cells. CDT1 co-localized with P57kip2, Fbwx7, P53 and c-Myc in the nucleus or cytoplasm of hepatocytes and cancer cells. We found that CDT1 mRNA expression could represent the degree of hepatic spare ability and the high carcinogenic state.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) We investigated whether dosimetric differences existed in nodal clinical target volume (CTV) using options for geometric expansion and lymph node stations based on the European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) guideline for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS/METHODS With treatment planning computed tomographic images in 17 patients who underwent radiotherapy for cT4N2M0 NSCLC from 2017 to 2022 at our institution, we retrospectively contoured nodal CTVs based on the guideline's options of: (1) geometric expansion, CTV including the nodal gross tumor volume plus 5 mm margin: (2) lymph node stations, CTV including the affected lymph node stations. The 5 mm margins for planning target volume (PTV) were added to the nodal and primary tumors' CTVs. Treatment planning of 60 Gy in 30 fractions to the PTV D50% was performed using volumetric modulated arc therapy; Dn% was irradiated dose to n% of volume of the structure; VnGy was percentage of volume of the structure at least irradiated n Gy. We compared dose-volume parameters between the two options using Wilcoxon rank sum test. RESULTS Primary tumors were located in the right and left lobes in 12 and five patients, and in the upper and lower lobes in 13 and four patients, respectively. Median PTV size/D95% of the options for geometric expansion and lymph node stations were 569 cc (range, 149-2005 cc)/58.2 Gy (range, 57.5-58.7 Gy) and 635 cc (range, 184-2109 cc)/58.1 Gy (range, 57.5-58.7 Gy), respectively. Median mean dose of the esophagus/heart in the two options were 12.2 Gy (range, 6.6-24.9 Gy)/3.3 Gy (range, 0.6-19.1 Gy) and 16.1 Gy (range, 13.6-30.5 Gy)/4.6 Gy (range, 0.7-18.9 Gy), respectively. Median V20 Gy/mean dose of the lungs in the options for geometric expansion and lymph node stations were 20.5% (range, 14.8-33.9%)/12.2 Gy (range, 8.7-18.4 Gy) and 24.0% (range, 15.1-36.7%)/13.5 Gy (range, 9.5-19.4 Gy), respectively. In the eight patients (47%) with lymph node metastases in stations 2 or 3, a significant dosimetric difference between the two options existed on V20 Gy of the lungs; median values of the difference were 2.8% and 0.5% with and without lymph node metastases in stations 2 or 3, respectively (p = 0.027). CONCLUSION Of the ESTRO guideline for the nodal CTV, using the option for geometric expansion might be able to reduce V20 Gy of the lungs in patients with lymph node metastases in stations 2 or 3.

Abstract
We have reported that extent of proliferation of atypical hepatocytes (POAH) in non-cancerous liver in hepatocellular carcinoma and chromatin licensing and DNA replication factor 1 (CDT1) are associated with postoperative recurrence. Here, we investigated whether extent of POAH and expression of CDT1 in liver are also associated with chemically induced liver cancer in rats. Male Fisher strain rats were orally administered diethylnitrosamine (DEN) in their drinking water and sacrificed at 6, 8, 12, or 14 weeks after start of DEN administration. We serially monitored changes in extent of POAH, CDT1 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC), and CDT1 mRNA expression in liver by real-time quantitative PCR. The extent of POAH in liver progressed in a time-dependent manner after start of DEN administration. CDT1 expression was higher at 8 weeks than at 6 weeks by IHC, suggesting that CDT1 expression may be a marker of POAH severity. CDT1 mRNA expression in liver was significantly higher at 12 weeks than at 6 weeks (p<0.0001). We found that extent of POAH and the expression of CDT1 are also important factors in the development of chemical carcinogen-induced hepatocarcinogenesis. Furthermore, the association with POAH and CDT1 expression in carcinogenic process is important regardless of the cause of hepatocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
We present the first search for the pair production of dark particles X via K_{L}^{0}→XX with X decaying into two photons using the data collected by the KOTO experiment. No signal was observed in the mass range of 40-110 MeV/c^{2} and 210-240 MeV/c^{2}. This sets upper limits on the branching fractions as B(K_{L}^{0}→XX)<(1-4)×10^{-7} and B(K_{L}^{0}→XX)<(1-2)×10^{-6} at the 90% confidence level for the two mass regions, respectively.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
VA ECMO is effective in cardiogenic shock, but complications of cardiogenic pulmonary edema due to increased afterload are problematic. The advent of percutaneous left ventricular assist devices (Impella) has enabled effective reduction of left ventricular intraventricular pressure and has avoided these complications, but differential hypoxia can still occur during VA ECMO + Impella (Ecpella) management, requiring conversion to V-AV ECMO. Cases may be experienced.
Purpose
Elucidate the frequency of differential hypoxia and its pathogenesis, which requires the transition from VA ECMO to V-AV ECMO.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 52 consecutive patients who underwent E-CPR from January 2017 through November 2021 in our institute. 8 patients who received ECMO alone were excluded, and 44 patients were recruited. 22 patients underwent VA ECMO with IABP (VA ECMO + IABP group) and 22 patients underwent VA ECMO with Impella (VA ECMO + Impella group). The 30-day survival rate and the rate of transition VA ECMO to VA-V ECMO, The date just before VA ECMO to V-AV ECMO were assessed.
Results
The 30-day all-cause mortality was no significant difference between the two groups. 2 patients (9%) in the VA ECMO + IABP group and 8 patients (36%) in the VA ECMO + Impella group were transferred to V-AV ECMO (P=0.025). At the time of addition of V-AV ECMO, SaO2 (right radial artery) was 87±7.1% and 91.3±1.9% (p=0.112) in the VA ECMO + IABP and VA ECMO + Impella groups, respectively, and the P/F ratio was 86±37.1 and 95±24.6 (p=0.685). Mean pulmonary artery wedge pressure was 23±1.4 mmHg in the VA ECMO + IABP group and 16.3±3 mmHg in the VA ECMO + Impella group (p=0.0193), significantly lower in the Impella group.
Conclusion
The Impella group was more likely to have hypoxia due to factors other than cardiogenic pulmonary edema. In cases of cardiopulmonary arrest requiring V-AV ECMO management, differential hypoxia due to causes other than cardiogenic pulmonary edema may become apparent earlier in the Impella group, suggesting that careful management, including the addition of V-AV ECMO, is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) abruptly emerged in Wuhan, China, in 2019 and rapidly spread globally to cause the COVID-19 pandemic. AIM To examine the anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of the potent disinfectant Cleverin, the major disinfecting component of which is chlorine dioxide (ClO2); and to compare the results with that of sodium hypochlorite in the presence or absence of 0.5% or 1.0% foetal bovine serum (FBS). METHODS Concentrated SARS-CoV-2 viruses were treated with various concentrations of ClO2 and sodium hypochlorite and 50% tissue culture infective dose was calcurated to evaluate the antiviral activity of each chemical. FINDINGS When SARS-CoV-2 viruses were treated with 0.8 ppm ClO2 or sodium hypochlorite, viral titre was decreased only by 1 log10 TCID50/mL in 3 min. However, the viral titre was decreased by more than 4 log10 TCID50/mL when treated with 80 ppm of each chemical for 10 s regardless of presence or absence of FBS. It should be emphasized that treatment with 24 ppm of ClO2 inactivated more than 99.99% SARS-CoV-2 within 10 s or 99.99% SARS-CoV-2 in 1 min in the presence of 0.5% or 1.0% FBS, respectively. By contrast, 24 ppm of sodium hypochlorite inactivated only 99% or 90% SARS-CoV-2 in 3 min under similar conditions. Notably, except for ClO2, the other components of Cleverin such as sodium chlorite, decaglycerol monolaurate, and silicone showed no significant antiviral activity. CONCLUSION Altogether, the results strongly suggest that although ClO2 and sodium hypochlorite are strong antiviral agents in absence of organic matter but in presence of organic matter, ClO2 is a more potent antiviral agent against SARS-CoV-2 than sodium hypochlorite.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate efficacy of S-1 (tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil), an active novel fluoropyrimidine, as compared to UFT (tegafur/uracil) as a postoperative adjuvant therapy in patients with node-negative non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods Eligible patients had undergone complete resection of p-stage I (T1 with tumor diameter >2 cm or T2-N0M0 by 5th edition Union for International Cancer Control TNM) NSCLC, and were randomized to receive oral UFT 250 mg/m2/day for 2 years (Arm A) or oral S-1 80 mg/m2/day for 2 weeks with a 1-week rest period, for 1 year (Arm B). The primary end point was relapse-free survival (RFS), with 80% power and a one-sided type I error of 0.05. Results From November 2008 to December 2013, 963 patients were enrolled (Arm A: 482, Arm B: 481). Toxicities (hematologic/nonhematologic) of grade 3 or more were observed in 15.9 (1.5/14.7)% in Arm A, and in 14.9 (3.6/12.1)% in Arm B, respectively. At data cut-off in December 2018, the hazard ratio for RFS was 1.06 (95% confidence interval, 0.82-1.36), showing no superiority of S-1 over UFT. The hazard ratio of overall survival (OS) was 1.10 (95% confidence interval, 0.81-1.50). The 5-year RFS/OS were 79.4%/88.8% in Arm A and 79.5%/89.7% in Arm B, respectively. The original NSCLC accounted for 58%/53%, respectively, of the Arm A/Arm B OS events. Secondary malignancies were observed in 85 (17.8%) and 84 (17.8%) individuals in Arm A and Arm B, respectively. Conclusions S-1 was not superior to UFT as postoperative adjuvant therapy in node-negative NSCLC. Future investigation should incorporate identification of high-risk populations for recurrence.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3) is a cytokine-inducible negative regulator of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) signaling pathway. We have previously shown that cardiac-specific SOCS3 deficiency spontaneously develop cardiac dysfunction with advanced age. However, the role of SOCS3 in smooth muscle cells in cardiovascular pathophysiology remains elusive. In this study, we determined whether STAT3 and SOCS3 in smooth muscle cells would play a role in cardiovascular pathophysiology.
Methods and results
To target inactivation of the SOCS3 gene to smooth muscle cells, SOCS3-flox mice were bred with transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase under control of the mouse SM22-α promoter (sm-SOCS3-KO mice). Left ventricular weight to body weight ratio was significantly increased in sm-SOCS3-KO mice compared with wild-type mice at 12 months of age (p<0.05). Echocardiographic analyses of smSOCS3-KO mice showed significantly increased left ventricular diastolic dysfunction compared with wild-type from 12 months of age (p<0.05). Sirius-red staining revealed that thickness of pericardium and cardiac interstitial fibrosis in sm-SOCS3-KO mice were markedly greater compared with wild-type mice at 12 months of age (p<0.05). Western blot analyses showed that phosphorylated STAT3 was significantly increased in sm-SOCS3-KO hearts compared with wild-type mice at 12 months of age (p<0.05), whereas no significant differences were observed at 2 months of age. To investigate the mechanism that gave rise to promoted cardiac fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction during aging in sm-SOCS3-KO, we conducted a real-time PCR array analysis for fibrosis. The expression of pro-fibrotic CTGF (connective tissue growth factor), PDGFb (platelet growth factor-b), and TGF (transforming growth factor) family genes including TGFb1, TGFb2, and TGFb3, were significantly higher in sm-SOCS3-KO hearts than those in wild-type at 6 months of age.
Conclusion
Thus, smooth muscle cell-specific SOCS3 deletion induces increased pericardial fibrosis, cardiac interstitial fibrosis, and increased diastolic dysfunction in aging mice, possibly through the augmentation of pro-fibrotic growth factors.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, there are some reports that hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is incidentally detected by multi-slice computed tomography. It is believed that valve thrombosis causes HALT, because oral anticoagulation therapy (OAC) is effective for HALT regression. Furthermore, it is reported that d-dimer level increases in patients with HALT, and might be a key biomarker to detect HALT.
Purpose
We sought to investigate the predictors related to increased d-dimer level at 6 months after follow-up TAVI.
Methods
We enrolled 124 consecutive patients who underwent successful TAVI between 2016 and 2018. Study patients were classified into two groups according to antithrombotic therapy resume (OAC therapy or anti-platelet therapy).We set the primary endpoint as the d-dimer levels at 6 months after TAVI. To evaluate the risks of the primary endpoint, we employed a multivariable linear regression model, setting the primary endpoint as an objective variable and patient and clinical backgrounds as explanatory variables. Furthermore, we set the secondary endpoint as one-year bleeding event.
Results
The median age of patients was 83 years old (quartile 80-87). Patients who had taken OAC at 6 months follow-up after TAVI were 29.8%. The median d-dimer level at 6 months after TAVI was 1.3 (1.0-2.2) µg/ml, and OAC group had statistically lower d-dimer level at 6 months follow-up than those in non-OAC group (p = 0.020). Uni-variable liner regression model demonstrated that increased d-dimer level at follow-up had significant relationship with large effective orifice area (EOA) (p = 0.002) and low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (p = 0.048) after TAVI. Furthermore, large EOA (p = 0.003) and OAC therapy (p = 0.027) were independently associated with increased d-dimer level in multivariate analysis. Kaplan-Meier estimates revealed that there were no significant difference regarding one-year bleeding event between OAC group and non-OAC group (long-rank p = 0.167).
Conclusions
This study suggests that large EOA after TAVI is associated with increased d-dimer levels at 6 months after TAVI, and OAC therapy might have a potential to decrease d-dimer level after TAVI without increase of bleeding events.

Abstract
The AC component of a beam current extracted from a negative hydrogen (H-) ion source was detected through a 0.1 mm wide, 66.5 mm long entrance slit to observe the spatial distribution. An internal antenna type multicusp source driven by a 2 MHz radio frequency (RF) power delivered beams to an electrostatic accelerator coupled to a pair of magnetic lenses. The local beam intensity measured by a Faraday cup after the entrance slit exhibited an oscillation showing two main frequency components: the RF power supply frequency and the frequency two times the driving RF. The frequency spectrum of the detected signal showed sharp peaks at 2 MHz, 4 MHz, and 6 MHz as well as at 3 MHz and 5 MHz. A 1 mm displacement of the Faraday cup slit position from the center of the beam axis increased the oscillation amplitude, corresponding to a larger amplitude of the AC component at the beam edge.

Abstract
Background We assessed the non-inferiority of accelerated fractionation (AF) (2.4 Gy/fraction) compared with standard fractionation (SF) (2 Gy/fraction) regarding progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with T1-2N0M0 glottic cancer (GC). Patients and methods In this multi-institutional, randomized, phase III trial, patients were enrolled from 32 Japanese institutions. Key inclusion criteria were GC T1-2N0M0, age 20-80, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1, and adequate organ function. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either SF of 66-70 Gy (33-35 fractions), or AF of 60-64.8 Gy (25-27 fractions). The primary end point was the proportion of 3-year PFS. The planned sample size was 360 with a non-inferiority margin of 5%. Results Between 2007 and 2013, 370 patients were randomized (184/186 to SF/AF). Three-year PFS was 79.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 73.4-85.4) for SF and 81.7% (95% CI 75.4-87.0) for AF (difference 1.8%, 91% CI-5.1% to 8.8%; one-sided P = 0.047 > 0.045). The cumulative incidences of local failure at 3 years for SF/AF were 15.9%/10.3%. No significant difference was observed in 3-year overall survival (OS) between SF and AF. Grade 3 or 4 acute and late toxicities developed in 22 (12.4%)/21 (11.5%) and 2 (1.1%)/1 (0.5%) in the SF/AF arms. Conclusion Although the non-inferiority of AF was not confirmed statistically, the similar efficacy and toxicity of AF compared with SF, as well as the practical convenience of its fewer treatment sessions, suggest the potential of AF as a treatment option for early GC.

Abstract
Abstract
It is difficult for university students to maintain their health. Department of health management was opened at April 2018 in Tokai university, Japan. About two hundred students entered it last year. Health management system was developed to maintain their health through the college life. The system is named THINKss (Tokai Health INtelligence Knowledge Support System). The number of registered students increased about four hundred this year. Every student can record their daily physical and mental conditions, meal photos with the time, body temperature, blood pressure, bone density, body compositions on their smartphone. If they use activity trackers with a wrist-based heart rate sensor (Garmin co. ltd.), their daily activities and sleeping status are corrected through API automatically. The weather information around university is also recorded everyday. Every student can browse own measurements on their smartphones. Because physical status includes cold symptoms (sneeze, throat pain, cough, fatigue, articular pain, muscle pain, chill, and body temperature), the system can recommend visiting a clinic. Because three meal photos are shown alongside, the balance of the meals is known. It may improve their meals. Because the activity tracker records advanced sleeping status (rem, light, deep, and moving), the relationships between mental conditions and sleeping status should be analyzed. Our previous study for common workers showed that mental status related with sleeping status, taking lunch of convenience-store, standard deviation of time of taking lunch, and oversensitivity to noise. Relationships between body composition changes and the lifestyles should be analyzed for university students. Some alert logics for body composition changes and exacerbating mental conditions may be provided based on the evidences from cumulative data of the health management system. These evidence-based alerts will contribute to maintain student’s health through a college life.

Abstract
Introduction
Few studies have examined complicated grief in bereaved caregivers of patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), in contrast with studies in caregivers of patients with cancers. We examined the prevalence and determinants of complicated grief among bereaved caregivers of patients with CVD.
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional survey using a self-administered questionnaire for bereaved family members of CVD patients who had died in the cardiology departments of 9 tertiary care centers in Japan. We assessed bereaved caregiver grief status using the Brief Grief Questionnaire (BGQ), and its association with their depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9 [PHQ-9]). Questionnaire also covered following associated factors: bereaved family member and patient characteristics, end-of-life care (Care Evaluation Scale [CES], a scale for assessment of the structure and process of care); and the quality of the deceased patients' death (Good Death Inventory [GDI]).
Results
A total of 269 bereaved caregivers (mean age, 64±12 years; 35% male) of patients with CVD (heart failure n=155 myocardial infarction n=32, cardiopulmonary arrest n=15, arrhythmia n=8, and others n=59) were enrolled in the study. Overall, 14.1% of the bereaved caregivers had complicated grief (BGQ≥8), 32.3% had subthreshold complicated grief (BGQ=5–7), and 13.3% had depression (PHQ-9≥10). Bereaved caregivers with complicated grief frequently developed depression (58% vs. 6%, p<0.001). Among the bereaved caregivers with complicated grief, the assessment of end-of-life care was worse (CES score: 28 [21–40] vs. 23 [19–39], p=0.04), and the assessment of the deceased patients' quality of death tended to be worse (GDI score: 4.0 [3.0–4.8] vs. 4.3 [3.7–4.9], p=0.05). The cause of admission as well as preferences of the patient and family (e.g., treatment [focusing on extending life vs. relieving discomfort], desire for information, place of end-of-life) were not associated with the prevalence of complicated grief. The prevalence of complicated grief was associated with loss of a spouse, poor psychological health during the deceased patients' admission, and poor preparation for the patient's imminent death (all p<0.05). Bereaved caregivers with complicated grief had experienced more decisional burdens regarding the deceased patients' treatment (55% vs. 25%, p=0.001). Notably, 64% of bereaved caregivers with complicated grief were not treated (i.e., neither routine follow-up by psychiatrists/psychotherapist nor prescription for anti-depressants/tranquilizers).
Conclusions
The prevalence of complicated grief of bereavement was 14.0%. When subthreshold complicated grief was included, the prevalence of complicated grief increased to include half of the caregivers; therefore, routine screening of the bereaved could be recommended. Clinicians should pay particular attention to bereaved families with high risk factors to identify those at risk for future development of complicated grief.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Little evidence is available regarding the risk of peri-procedural stroke detected by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Our purpose was to evaluate stroke risk after TAVI using DW-MRI by enrolling consecutive patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI and post-procedural DW-MRI.
Methods
We prospectively enrolled 113 consecutive patients who underwent transfemoral TAVI and post-procedural DW-MRI. We used balloon-expandable valves as first-line therapy and selected self-expandable valves only for patients with narrow sinotubular junctions or annuli. We set the primary endpoint as the number of high intensity areas (HIA) detected by DW-MRI regardless of the size of the area. To evaluate the risks of the primary endpoint, we employed a multivariable linear regression model, setting the primary endpoint as an objective variable and patient and clinical backgrounds as explanatory variables. In addition, the relationship between valve type and the number of HIAs on DW-MRI was also confirmed by the propensity score matching analysis to evaluate the robustness of the result, using a multivariable linear regression model with the protocol described in the previous manuscript. Shortly, the propensity score was calculated with a logistic regression model by setting the treatment as the response variable and baseline characteristics and procedural information that were significantly different between 2 groups (balloon expandable and self-expandable) as explanatory variables, which included age, estimated glomerular filtration rate, oversizing rate, and BAV before THV deployment.
Results
Median patient age was 84 years, and 36.3% were men. Ninety-three patients underwent balloon-expandable TAVI and 20 underwent self-expandable TAVI. Symptomatic stroke occurred in 6 (5.3%) whereas asymptomatic stroke occurred in 59 (52.2%) patients. The incidence of symptomatic and total stroke was higher in patients who underwent self-expandable TAVI than those who underwent balloon-expandable TAVI (30.0% vs 0.0%, p<0.001 and 90.0% vs 50.5%, p=0.001, respectively). A multivariable linear regression model demonstrated an increased primary endpoint when self-expandable TAVI was performed (p<0.001). The other covariates had no significant relationship to the primary endpoint. Akaike information criterion-based stepwise statistical model selection revealed that valve type was the only explanatory variable for the best predictive model. This result was also confirmed with the propensity score matching analysis (estimate, 2.359; 95% CI, 0.426–4.292; p=0.019) after adjustments of propensity score, in which 28 patients were matched (n=14 in each group).
Conclusions
Self-expandable valves were associated with increased numbers of HIA on DW-MRI after TAVI in patients with severe aortic stenosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (SOCS3) is an intrinsic negative-feedback regulator of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) signaling pathway. We have previously shown that myocardial SOCS3 plays an important role in cardiac hypertrophy and survival; however, the role of SOCS3 in smooth muscle cells in cardiovascular pathophysiology remains elusive. In this study, we determined whether STAT3 and SOCS3 in smooth muscle cells would play a role in cardiovascular pathophysiology.
Methods and results
To target inactivation of the SOCS3 gene to smooth muscle cells, SOCS3-flox mice were bred with transgenic mice expressing Cre recombinase under control of the mouse SM22-α promoter (sm-SOCS3-KO mice). Left ventricular weight to body weight ratio was significantly increased in sm-SOCS3-KO mice compared with wild-type mice at 52 weeks of age (p<0.05). Echocardiographic analyses of sm-SOCS3-KOmice showed significantly decreased cardiac function compared with wild-typefrom 52 weeks of age (p<0.05). Interestingly, Sirius-red staining revealed that thickness of pericardium in sm-SOCS3-KOmice was markedly greater compared with wild-typemice at 52 weeks of age (p<0.05). Cardiac interstitial fibrosis in sm-SOCS3-KOmice was also greater compared with wild-typemice (p<0.05). Western blot analyses showed that phosphorylated STAT3 was significantly increased in sm-SOCS3-KOhearts compared with wild-typemice at 52 weeks of age (p<0.05), whereas no significant differences were observed at 7 weeks of age. Immunostaining revealed that phosphorylated STAT3 positive cells were in thickened pericardial area in sm-SOCS3-KOhearts. Some infiltrated inflammatory cells were also found in thickened pericardial area in sm-SOCS3-KOmice hearts.
Conclusion
These results suggest that STAT3 and its negative-feedback regulator SOCS3 in smooth muscle cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of pericardial fibrosis and cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell dyscrasia accounting for approximately 13% of hematologic malignancies. Patients with MM have an increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events (CAEs) due to disease burden and/or anti-myeloma treatment-related risk factors. However, little is known about the incidence of cardiovascular toxicity of patients with MM.
Methods
We analyzed 42 consecutive patients (Male/Female 22/20, age 67±10 years old) who received anti-MM therapies between October 2016 and September 2018 from our University Cardio-REnal Oncology (CREO) registry. We examined the incidence of CAEs through January 2019 including congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy (CHF/CM), ischemic cardiac event, newly symptomatic arrhythmias included atrial fibrillation or flutter requiring treatment, and venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Results
Within the 408-day median follow-up period (range 15–844 days), CAEs occurred in 23.8% (n=10); CHF/CM in 11.9%, newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation in 4.8%, VTE in 4.8%, vasospastic angina in 2.4%, and death in 28.6%. There were no significant differences between CAEs group and non-CAEs group in terms of sex, body mass index (BMI), incidence of hypertension, ischemic heart disease, prior history of heart failure, cardiovascular medications, left ventricular ejection fraction, serum high-sensitivity troponin-I, estimated glomerular filtration rate, blood urea nitrogen and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels at the time of enrollment. The use of various types of proteasome inhibitors and immunomodulatory drugs were not associated with the increased risk of CAEs. By multivariate analysis, a history of prior anti-myeloma therapies was identified as an independent risk factor for CAEs.
Conclusion
CAEs were significantly associated with the recurrent MM in Japanese MM patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The prognosis of cancer patients has been improved partly because of the progress in cancer therapy, which increases the cancer survivors in the society. It may raise a concern regarding the development of heart failure (HF), because the anticancer agents have some serious side effects on cardiovascular system, especially in the aging society including Japan. However, the epidemiological data for the risk of HF in the cancer survivors is limited due to the lack of comprehensive dataset in the aging society. In this regard, the electronic health record (EHR), a big data, from the National Health Insurance in Japan provides a unique opportunity to obtain the suitable dataset.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to clarify the prevalence and the risk factors of HF in cancer survivors, focusing on the impact of their age, using EHR in Japan.
Methods
We examined the EHR of 17.8 million patients, covering 14% of the total Japanese population. The EHR includes the diagnoses as coded with International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (ICD-10), and the information for therapeutics. We extracted 159,380 patients who received anticancer agents between April 2008 to January 2017. HF patients were identified accordingto ICD-10 codes and the record for the use of therapeutic drugs for HF at least once after the HF diagnosis following the treatment with anticancer agents. We excluded the patients if they had other conditions indistinguishable from HF or if they had past history of HF before receiving anticancer agents.
Results
The mean follow-up period was 1.75 years and mean age (standard deviation) was 68.9 (11.6) years. The population over 75 years old were 37%, while males were 59.5%. There were prostate cancer (28.1%), lung cancer (13.4%), and colon cancer (12.6%)in males, and breast cancer (42.8%), colon cancer (11.5%), and lung cancer (8.6%)in females. Among them, 5,529 patients were diagnosed with HF, corresponding to the prevalence of 3.8%. The mean time form the initiation of chemotherapy to the HF onset was 1.03 year. In the Cox's proportional hazard model after the adjustments for comorbidity, HF was more prevalent in males with hazard ratio (HR) 1.07 and 95% C.I. 1.01–1.13 (p<0.05) and in those with obesity (HR 1.18, 95% C.I. 1.09–1.26, p<0.01).We divided the subjects into three age groups (younger; <65 years, intermediate; 65–74 years, older; ≥75 years). HF was more prevalent in older group than younger group (HR 1.72, 95% C.I. 1.60–1.85, p<0.01). Among the anticancer agents, doxorubicin showed HR 2.09 (95% C.I. 1.89–2.3, p<0.01), and trastuzumab showed HR 1.47 (95% C.I 1.25–1.73, p<0.01).
Conclusion
We showed that the average prevalence of HF after anticancer agentwas 3.8%. The independent risk factors for HF were older age, male, obesity, and the use of doxorubicin or trastuzumab. This study also demonstrated the usefulness of EHR in Japan, to investigate the cardiovascular risk associated with the anticancer agents.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a member of the IL-10 cytokine family, which mainly targets epithelial cells and does not target immune cells. Recently, it has been reported that IL-22 play roles in tissue repair in the skin and the liver; however, role of IL-22 in the process of tissue repair after myocardial infarction (MI) is unknown. Here, we investigated the role of IL-22 in tissue repair process after MI.
Methods and results
First, we examined the expression of IL-22 and its receptor IL-22RA1 in the wild type (WT) mice by real-time PCR. The expression of IL-22 and IL-22RA1 in the hearts were significantly increased 3 days after MI (p<0.05). To clarify the role of IL-22 in the heart after MI, we produced MI model in the WT mice and IL-22 knockout (KO) mice. We found that the IL-22 KO mice had significantly higher mortality than the WT mice after MI (p<0.05). Approximately 80% of the IL-22 KO mice died with cardiac rupture after MI. The infarct size which was estimated by evans blue dye and triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining at 3 days after MI was comparable between the IL-22 KO mice and the WT mice. Next, we performed real time PCR and PCR array analysis for tissue fibrosis and repair genes. We found that alpha-smooth muscle actin (aSMA), NF-kB, TNF-a and MMP13 (also known as collagenase-3) were significantly increased in the infarct area of IL-22 KO mice compared to WT mice. Immunostaining showed that the myofibroblast marker aSMA positive cells in the border area after MI were markedly higher in the IL-22 KO mice compared with the WT mice (p<0.05). Approximately 70% of cardiac rupture after MI in the IL-22 KO mice were occurred in the infarct area adjacent to the border area. Furthermore, we found aSMA positive cells and MMP13 positive cells around the ruptured site of the heart.
Conclusion
Thus, IL-22 KO mice exhibit high mortality and increased cardiac rupture after MI. And expression of aSMA and MMP13 were highly expressed in the ruptured site after MI in the IL-22 KO mice. These results suggest that IL-22 may play an important role in the tissue repair process after MI.

Abstract
AIMS Alterations in microenvironments are a hallmark of cancer, and these alterations in germinomas are of particular significance. Germinoma, the most common subtype of central nervous system germ cell tumours, often exhibits massive immune cell infiltration intermingled with tumour cells. The role of these immune cells in germinoma, however, remains unknown. METHODS We investigated the cellular constituents of immune microenvironments and their clinical impacts on prognosis in 100 germinoma cases. RESULTS Patients with germinomas lower in tumour cell content (i.e. higher immune cell infiltration) had a significantly longer progression-free survival time than those with higher tumour cell contents (P = 0.03). Transcriptome analyses and RNA in-situ hybridization indicated that infiltrating immune cells comprised a wide variety of cell types, including lymphocytes and myelocyte-lineage cells. High expression of CD4 was significantly associated with good prognosis, whereas elevated nitric oxide synthase 2 was associated with poor prognosis. PD1 (PDCD1) was expressed by immune cells present in most germinomas (93.8%), and PD-L1 (CD274) expression was found in tumour cells in the majority of germinomas examined (73.5%). CONCLUSIONS The collective data strongly suggest that infiltrating immune cells play an important role in predicting treatment response. Further investigation should lead to additional categorization of germinoma to safely reduce treatment intensity depending on tumour/immune cell balance and to develop possible future immunotherapies.

Abstract
Objectives Indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence angiography is an emerging technique that can provide detailed anatomical information during surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine whether ICG fluorescence angiography can be used to evaluate the blood flow of the rotator cuff tendon in the clinical setting. Methods Twenty-six patients were evaluated from October 2016 to December 2017. The participants were categorized into three groups based on their diagnoses: the rotator cuff tear group; normal rotator cuff group; and adhesive capsulitis group. After establishing a posterior standard viewing portal, intravenous administration of ICG at 0.2 mg/kg body weight was performed, and fluorescence images were recorded. The time from injection of the drug to the beginning of enhancement of the observed area was measured. The hypovascular area in the rotator cuff was evaluated, and the ratio of the hypovascular area to the anterolateral area of the rotator cuff tendon was calculated (hypovascular area ratio). Results ICG fluorescence angiography allowed for visualization of blood flow in the rotator cuff in all groups. The adhesive capsulitis group showed significantly earlier enhancement than the other groups. Furthermore, the adhesive capsulitis group had a significantly smaller hypovascular area ratio than the other groups. Conclusion ICG fluorescence angiography allowed for evaluation of real-time blood flow of the rotator cuff in arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The techniques of ICG fluorescence angiography are simple and easy to observe, observer reliability is high, and it has utility for evaluating blood flow during surgery.Cite this article: N. Doi, T.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: The standard follow-up after surgery for breast cancer includes periodic interviews, clinical examinations, and mammography, but many institutions are conducting intensive follow-up including periodic computed tomography(CT), magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), and bone scintigraphy in the world, despite the lack of evidence to support this approach. While intensive follow-up may contribute to prolonged survival through earlier diagnosis and treatment of relapse, it has the disadvantages of high effort and costs placed on patients(pts) and healthcare workers, radiation exposure for imaging examinations, and overtreatment owing to false-positive results. Although past two randomized trials could not show significant difference in overall survival (OS), as imaging methods have remarkably improved, leading to the earlier detection of relapse, and medical therapies have remarkably improved in recent years, randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm whether intensive follow-up can really prolong survival sufficiently to offset these disadvantages in high-risk breast cancer pts.
Trial design: This study is a multi-institutional two-arm open label randomized controlled phase III trial being conducted with the participation of 42 hospitals belonging to the Breast Cancer Study Group of Japan Clinical Oncology Group. Eligible pts are randomized either to the intensive follow-up group or to the standard follow-up group; the former will undergo physical examination, bone scintigraphy, chest and abdominal CT, brain MRI/CT and frequent tumor markers, whereas the latter will undergo physical examination at the same frequency and tumor markers will be evaluated once a year. Mammography once a year is planned for both groups. This trial has been registered at the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry as UMIN000012429.
Eligibility criteria: High-risk breast cancer pts, who are expected to have recurrence rates of over 30% within 5 years after surgery. The main inclusion criteria are as follows: four or more axillary nodal metastases in the estrogen receptor (ER) positive pts without neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NC)., axillary node metastases in ER-negative pts without NC, axillary nodal metastases in ER-positive pts with NC, histologically proven residual invasive cancer in the breast or axilla in ER-negative with NC.
Specific Aims: The primary endpoint is OS, and secondary endpoints are disease-free survival, relapse-free survival, distant metastasis–free survival, OS in intrinsic subtypes, actual number of implemented examinations, compliance with pre-specified examinations, and adverse events.
Statistical methods: The primary endpoint will require a total of 538 events to be assessed in order to obtain a statistical power of 80% with a one-sided significance level of 0.05. Thus, the planned sample size to compare the two survival curves is set at 1500 pts, assuming an accrual time of 6 years and a follow-up time of 7 years according to the Schoenfeld and Richter's method.
Present accrual and target accrual: The trial was activated in November 2013. 773 pts have been enrolled by the end of June 2018.

Abstract
The structural basis for the intracellular delivery of OSW-1 is investigated using fluorescent derivatives of OSW-1 and its closely related congeners. Despite the large differences in activity, all the fluorescent probes are found to translocate across the plasma membrane to the ER and Golgi apparatus. This observation suggests that the glycosylated cholestane moiety plays an important role in the cell internalization and intracellular localization property of OSW-1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type B insulin resistance syndrome is a rare disease characterized by refractory transient hyperglycaemia and severe insulin resistance associated with circulating anti-insulin receptor antibodies. A standardized treatment regimen for type B insulin resistance syndrome has yet to be established. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 64-year-old man undergoing haemodialysis for antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis and diabetic nephropathy, who developed rapid onset of hyperglycaemia (glycated albumin 52.1%). Type B insulin resistance syndrome was diagnosed, on the basis of positivity for anti-insulin receptor antibodies and the man's autoimmune history of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Although severe hyperglycaemia persisted in spite of corticosteroids and high-dose insulin therapy, rituximab treatment resulted in remarkable improvement of the man's severe insulin resistance and disappearance of anti-insulin receptor antibodies without any adverse effects. CONCLUSIONS According to a literature review of 11 cases in addition to the present case, rituximab appears to be a safe and effective strategy for the treatment of corticosteroid-resistant type B insulin resistance syndrome.
