Abstract
Background Drastic changes such as school closures and stay-at-home measures due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, may have long-term negative effects on children's mental health; however, longitudinal studies after 2021 are limited. This study aimed to observe the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on children's mental health by exploring changes in their mental health over a period of 18 months. Study design We conducted a longitudinal study at Chiba Prefecture in Japan, focusing on schoolchildren's mental health changes. Methods Data were obtained from the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) questionnaire conducted at single primary school three times from October 2021 to March 2023 which and included 183 participants. This study adopted a linear-mixed model to evaluate changes in children's SDQ scores, with sex and grade as the independent variables, and participants as a random effect. Results Regarding changes in SDQ scores, there were no significant changes in the total difficulty scores or in each subscale; Emotional Symptoms, Conduct Problems, Hyperactivity/Inattention, Peer Problems, and Prosocial Behavior. There was no statistically significant interaction between changes in SDQ scores and sex. Conclusions This report indicates that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of Japanese primary schoolchildren was negligible in the later phase of the pandemic. However, the impact may differ from country to country owing to factors such as social restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
Benign uterine leiomyoma (U.LMA) and malignant uterine leiomyosarcoma (U.LMS), both uterine mesenchymal tumors, are distinguished by the number of cells exhibiting mitotic activity. However, uterine mesenchymal tumors contain tumor cells with various cell morphologies; therefore, making a diagnosis, including differentiating between benign and malignant tumors, is difficult. For example, cotyledonoid dissecting leiomyoma (CDL) or uterine smooth muscle tumors of uncertain malignant potential (STUMPs) are a group of uterine mesenchymal tumors for which a differential diagnosis is challenging. To date, a standardized classification system for uterine mesenchymal tumors has not yet been established. Furthermore, definitive preoperative imaging techniques or hematological examinations for the potential inclusion of CDL or STUMP in the differential diagnosis have not been defined. Several clinical studies have reported that there is no correlation between biomarker expression and mitotic rate or tumor recurrence. The immunohistochemical biomarkers reported so far cannot effectively help determine the malignant potential of CDL or STUMPs in patients who wish to become pregnant in the future. The establishment of gene expression profiles or detection of pathogenic variants by using next-generation molecular techniques can facilitate disease prediction, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. We examined the oncological properties of STUMP in adults using molecular pathological techniques on tissue excised from patients with uterine mesenchymal tumor. In a clinical study conducted by our medical team, the results of gene expression profiling indicated factors that may be associated with malignancy of uterine mesenchymal tumors. We herein describe the problems in diagnosing uterine mesenchymal tumors along with the results of the latest clinical studies. It is expected that the establishment of a diagnostic method targeting the characteristics of mesenchymal tumor cells will lead to the treatment of malignant tumors with a low risk of recurrence and metastasis.

Abstract
Certain mutant strains of SARS-CoV-2 are known to spread widely among humans, including the receptor binding domain (RBD) mutant, Y453F, from farmed minks, and the RBD mutant, N501Y, a mutation common to three major SARS-CoV-2 subvariants (B.1.1.7, B.1.351, and B.1.1.248) and omicron type SARS-CoV-2 BQ.1.1 and XBB.1.16 subvariants. We investigated the characteristics of the RBD mutants, Y453F and N501Y, using three-dimensional structural analysis. We also investigated the effect of Y453F, N501Y or the mutants of RBD of omicron type SARS-CoV-2 BQ.1.1 and XBB.1.16 subvariants on neutralizing antibodies in serum derived from individuals including children (aged 5-11 years) inoculated with mRNA based COVID-19 vaccine (BNT162b2: Pfizer/BioNTech) or COVID-19-positive patients or children (aged 5-11 years) after vaccination with BNT162b2. Our results suggest that SARS-CoV-2 subspecies with the RBD mutations Y453F or N501Y partially escaped detection by 4 neutralizing monoclonal antibodies and 21 neutralizing antibodies in serums derived from COVID-19-positive patients. The significantly low antibody titer of children against Omicron type SARS-CoV-2 BQ.1.1 subvariant and XBB.1.16 subvariant in Japan. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 subspecies that causes serious symptoms in humans may spread globally. In particular, since the antibody titer against the omicron type is low in children (aged 5-11 years) who have been vaccinated with conventional vaccines, therefore it is important for children to receive vaccines specific for the omicron type.

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

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Systemic inflammation resulting from comorbidities is postulated to play a central role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Lymphopenia is a common manifestation of systemic inflammation and a prognostic factor in patients with HF. However, the association of lymphopenia with the comorbidity burden is unknown, and its prognostic value in patients with HFpEF admitted due to acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) also remains elusive.
Purpose
We sought to clarify the relation of lymphopenia with the comorbidity burden, as well as its prognostic value and complementarity with the Get with the Guidelines-Heart Failure (GWTG-HF) risk score in ADHF patients with HFpEF.
Methods
Patients' data were extracted from the Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT-HFpEF), which is a prospective multicentre registry for patients with ADHF with a LVEF ≥50%. We analysed data of patients admitted between June 2016 and December 2020 who survived to discharge. The total lymphocyte count (per μL) and GWTG-HF risk score were obtained on admission, as previously reported. Comorbidity burden was defined as the number of comorbidities from the following: atrial fibrillation, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, anaemia, and obesity. The study endpoint was all-cause death.
Results
Over a median follow-up of 417 days, 181 of the 1013 included patients died. The proportion of patients with a total lymphocyte count in the lowest tertile was increasing with the increase in comorbidity burden (Figure 1). In the multivariate Cox analysis, a total lymphocyte count in the intermediate (hazard ratio [HR] 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00–2.41, p=0.0486) and lowest tertile (HR 2.23, 95% CI 1.47–3.38, p=0.0002) was independently associated with all-cause death. There was a significant difference in the all-cause death rate among the groups stratified by total lymphocyte count tertile (Figure 2). The total lymphocyte count had a higher C-statistic value (0.627) for the prediction of all-cause death than the GWTG-HF risk score, and the C-statistic value of the GWTG-HF risk score was improved when the total lymphocyte count was added (0.613 to 0.636, p=0.0260).
Conclusions
Lymphopenia was significantly associated with comorbidity burden. Furthermore, it was a useful marker of poor prognosis in hospitalised patients with acute HFpEF and was shown to be complementary to the contemporary HF prognostic score.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a chronic and progressive disease, but limited therapeutic strategies are currently available. Although left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) is a prominent mechanism of HFpEF, a certain number of patients with HFpEF have a normal diastolic function (ND) or indeterminate diastolic function (ID). With the progressive nature of HFpEF, diastolic function may change over time. However, the change of diastolic function, its predictor and prognosis in patients with clinically established HFpEF remains unknown.
Purpose
To investigate the clinical trajectory and outcomes of patients with HFpEF with ND or ID and to identify factors associated with progression from ND or ID at discharge to DD at 1-year follow-up.
Methods
Using data from a prospective multicenter observational study of patients with HFpEF, we extracted 289 patients with HFpEF with ND or ID at discharge who had echocardiographic data at 1-year follow-up for the re-evaluation of diastolic function. Diastolic function was assessed according to the 2016 American Society of Echocardiography recommendations. Patients were classified according to the absence or presence of progression from ND or ID to DD at 1 year. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death and HF rehospitalization.
Results
Median age was 81 years, and 138 (47.8%) patients were female. At 1 year, 107 (37%) patients progressed to DD. During a median follow-up of 709 days, the composite endpoint occurred in 90 (31.1%) patients. Compared to patients without progression to DD, those with progression to DD had a significantly higher cumulative incidence rate of the composite endpoint (incidence rate: 11.7/100 person-year versus 23.3/100 person-year, P<0.001). Progression to DD (adjusted HR: 2.014, 95% CI: 1.239–3.273, P=0.005) was independently associated with the composite endpoint. Age (adjusted OR: 1.046, 95% CI: 1.008–1.087, P=0.018), body mass index (BMI) (adjusted OR: 1.107, 95% CI: 1.029–1.192, P=0.006), and serum albumin (adjusted OR: 0.459, 95% CI: 0.216–0.974, P=0.042) were independently associated with progression from ND or ID to DD at 1 year.
Conclusion
More than one-third of patients with HFpEF with ND or ID progressed to DD at 1 year and had poor clinical outcomes. Age, BMI, and serum albumin were independently associated with this progression.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The effectiveness of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) has not been demonstrated in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We recently reported significant interaction between the use of ACE-I and/or ARB (ACE-I/ARB) and frailty on prognosis in patients with HFpEF.
Purpose
In the present study, we examined the association between ACE-I/ARB and prognosis in patients with HFpEF stratified by the presence or absence of frailty.
Methods
We examined the association between the use of ACE-I/ARB and prognosis according to the presence (Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) ≥5) or absence (CFS ≤4) of frailty in patients with HFpEF in a post-hoc analysis of registry data. Primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality and heart failure admission. Secondary endpoints were all-cause mortality and heart failure admission.
Results
Of 1059 patients, median age was 83 years and 45% were male. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the risk of composite endpoint (log-rank P=0.001) and all-cause death (log-rank P=0.005) in patients with ACE-I/ARB was lower in those with CFS ≥5, but similar between patients with and without ACE-I/ARB in patients with CFS ≤4 (composite endpoint: log-rank P=0.830; all-cause death: log-rank P=0.192). In a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, use of ACE-I/ARB was significantly associated with lower risk of the composite endpoint (hazard ratio = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.33–0.83, P=0.005) and heart failure admission (hazard ratio = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.25–0.83, P=0.010) in patients with CFS ≥5, but not in patients with CFS ≤4 (composite endpoint: hazard ratio = 1.41, 95% CI: 0.99–2.02, P=0.059; heart failure admission: hazard ratio = 1.43, 95% CI: 0.94–2.18, P=0.091). The association between ACE-I or ARB and prognosis did not significantly differ by CFS (CFS ≤4: log-rank P=0.562; CFS ≥5: log-rank P=0.100, for with ACE-I vs. ARB, respectively). Adjusted HRs for CFS 1–4 were higher than 1.0, but were less than 1.0 at CFS 5.
Conclusions
In patients with HFpEF, use of ACE-I/ARB was associated with better prognosis in patients with frailty as assessed with the CFS, but not in those without frailty.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A leadless pacemaker has been used widely. The necessity of using large sheath (23 Fr) is one of the disadvantages of implanting leadless pacemaker. There are some reports about deep vein thrombosis (DVT)after leadless pacemaker, but the accurate number of DVT after leadless pacemaker implantation is unknown.
Method
This retrospective study analyzed patients who were implanted leadless pacemaker from January 2018 to August 2022. We included the patients who were conducted ultrasound for DVT both before and after leadless implantation. The primary endpoint was incidence of DVT by ultrasound one day after leadless pacemaker implantation in the leg where sheath was inserted.
Results
89 patients were included in this study. The mean age of this study was 86.2±7.4 years old and 88 patients (99%) were implanted leadless pacemaker from their right femoral vein. 49 patients (55%) took anticoagulant before leadless pacemaker implantation. About the primary endpoint, 12 patients (13.5%: 8 patients without anticoagulant and 4 patients with anticoagulant) had newly asymptomatic DVT. After the univariate analysis, patients with low body weight (OR: 0.90, CI: 0.83–0.98, p=0.011), short height (OR: 0.87, CI: 0.79–0.96, p=0.005) and small diameter of the femoral vein (OR: 0.65, CI: 0.46–0.92, p=0.015) tended to have DVT. The use of anticoagulant did not affect the incidence of DVT (OR: 0.365, CI: 0.10–1.3, p=0.114).
Conclusion
Asymptomatic DVT by ultrasound is found in 13.5% of patients after leadless pacemaker. The small body patients might have easier to have DVT after leadless pacemaker. We should consider performing ultrasound to check for DVT in high-risk patients after leadless pacemaker implantation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Improvement of quality of life (QOL) is one of the most important therapeutic goals for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It is, therefore, clinically relevant to comprehensively identify aggravating factors among cardiac factors, non-cardiac comorbidities, and social factors. The aim of this study was to elucidate determinant factors of impaired QOL and clarify the association between QOL and prognosis in patients with HFpEF.
Methods and results
Patient data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study. EuroQol 5 dimensions 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) data were obtained at discharge to evaluate patients' health-related QOL. A total of 864 patients were enrolled in this study. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that only non-cardiac factors such as age, female sex, frailty, malnutrition and inflammation were significantly associated with low EQ-5D-5L score, whereas cardiac factors showed no significant association after multivariable adjustment. A total of 206 patients died over a mean follow-up period of 2.0±1.2 years. Kaplan–Meier survival curve analysis demonstrated a significant increase in risk of mortality stratified by tertiles of EQ-5D-5L score (p<0.0001). Cox multivariable analysis revealed that patients with low EQ-5D-5L score had a significantly greater risk of mortality than those with high EQ-5D-5L score (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.20 (1.40–3.45), p=0.001).
Conclusion
Among patients with HFpEF, non-cardiac factors such as age, female sex, frailty, malnutrition and inflammation are significantly associated with impaired QOL. The QOL score itself also offers useful prognostic information in patients with HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There are several reports showing that elevated heart rate (HR) is associated with poor outcomes in patients in sinus rhythm (SR) with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), although the association is weak or none in HFpEF patients with atrial fibrillation (Af). However, in previous studies, cardiac and non-cardiac factors which may be associated with elevated HR, have not been fully adjusted for.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore covariates of elevated HR and to investigate the relationship between heart rate and mortality in HFpEF patients in SR.
Methods and results
Of the 1161 patients, who registered prospective multicenter, observational study of patients with HFpEF (PURSUIT-HFpEF), 726 patients in SR were examined. We performed laboratory testing and echocardiography in the compensated stage (in stable condition after treatment of acute decompensated HF). Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) was calculated as nutrition index. Resting heart rate (HR) was analyzed as categorical (tertiles, T1–3). We followed the patients for median of 598 days (interquartile range 329–1028 days) to observe the outcome all-cause mortality.
The Kaplan analysis revealed that there was a significant difference between heart rate and mortality (log-rank, p=0.001). Characteristics were compared between patients in T1 (HR ≤63) and T3 (HR ≥75). There were no differences in cardiac factors between patients in T1 and T3. C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly higher in patients in T3 than those in T1 (p=0.0004,). GNRI was significantly lower in patients in T3 than those in T1 (p=0.001). After adjustment for covariates including N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide and estimated glomerular filtration rate, CRP and GNRI significantly correlated with HR (continuous variable) by multiple regression analysis (beta-coefficient = 1.52, p=0.003 and beta-coefficient = −0.14, p=0.04, respectively). Taking T1 as the reference, multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that T3 was independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio: 2.10, 95% confidence interval: 1.33–3.32, p=0.001).
Conclusion
Although elevated HR was associated with enhanced inflammation and malnutrition, it itself was an independent predictor of death in HFpEF patients in SR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Malnutrition and inflammation are associated with poor outcomes with heart failure (HF). It has been reported that advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI), calculated by body mass index × serum albumin level / neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be useful for the risk stratification and predicting the post-discharge prognosis of the patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, there is no information available on the prognostic value of the serial ALI change in ADHF patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Methods and results
Patients' data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study, which is a prospective multicenter observational registry for ADHF-HFpEF in Osaka. Laboratory data and body weight measurements were performed at the discharge and 1 year after the discharge. We analyzed 527 patients after exclusion of patients on dialysis, in-hospital death, missing follow-up data, or missing data to calculate ALI. The study patients were categorized by the serial change from baseline to 1 year after the discharge (ΔALI) as follows: low tertile: ΔALI <−6.99 (n=176), middle tertile: −6.99 ≤ ALI <8.44 (n=176), and high tertile: 8.44 ≤ ΔALI (n=175). The endpoints of the present study were all-cause death (ACD) and cardiovascular death (CVD). During a mean follow-up period of 1.5±1.0 years, 94 patients had ACD and 40 patients had CVD. The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the patients with middle and low ΔALI at 1 year after heart failure hospitalization had a significantly greater risk of reaching the ACD and CVD than those with high ΔALI (ACD: 22% vs 22% vs 10%, p=0.0011, CVD: 10% vs 9% vs 3%, p=0.014). On multivariate Cox analysis, ΔALI was significantly associated with ACD independently of age, gender, serum NT-proBNP level, and baseline ALI after adjustment for NYHA functional class, serum creatinine level, serum hemoglobin level, serum CRP level, serum sodium level and LVEF.
Conclusion
This study showed that patients with the increased ALI after the discharge had improved outcome in comparison to those without the increased ALI. The serial change of ALI, a systemic inflammation-nutrition index, might be useful for stratifying ADHF patients with HFpEF at risk for the total mortality and cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract
Recently, pretreatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has been shown to enhance the therapeutic effects of the combination therapy of ramucirumab (RAM) and docetaxel (DTX); however, its influence on the drug's side effects remains unclear. This study investigated the influence of pretreatment with ICIs on the incidence of neutropenia caused by RAM + DTX therapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with NSCLC who received RAM + DTX therapy at Gifu Prefectural General Medical Center between April 2016 and December 2020 were enrolled. Retrospective data regarding age, sex, performance status and detailed treatment history, among others, at treatment initiation were collected from the patients' electronic medical records. Additionally, data on the course number of RAM + DTX therapy, supportive therapy and blood biochemical parameters, including leukocyte and neutrocyte counts, during the treatment period were collected. We identified 41 patients receiving RAM + DTX therapy. Among the more than grade 3 adverse events caused by this therapy, neutropenia was the most common (78.1%). Despite the fact that all previous risk factors influencing this incidence rate had corresponded, the only factor influencing the incidence rate of neutropenia more than grade 3 was ICI treatment history. A difference in the incidence of neutropenia more than grade 3 in the Kaplan-Meier curve was observed between patients with and without ICI pretreatment history (p = 0.037). The pretreatment history of ICI therapy affects the incidence of neutropenia caused by RAM + DTX therapy in patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
We have measured the 3d→2p transition x rays of kaonic ^{3}He and ^{4}He atoms using superconducting transition-edge-sensor microcalorimeters with an energy resolution better than 6 eV (FWHM). We determined the energies to be 6224.5±0.4(stat)±0.2(syst) eV and 6463.7±0.3(stat)±0.1(syst) eV, and widths to be 2.5±1.0(stat)±0.4(syst) eV and 1.0±0.6(stat)±0.3(stat) eV, for kaonic ^{3}He and ^{4}He, respectively. These values are nearly 10 times more precise than in previous measurements. Our results exclude the large strong-interaction shifts and widths that are suggested by a coupled-channel approach and agree with calculations based on optical-potential models.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Clinical heterogeneity exists in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Left ventricular (LV) structure in HFPEF is characterized by normal LV cavity size and LV hypertrophy (LVH). However some of HFPEF patients do not have LV hypertrophy, and these patients may have distinct characteristics,
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to clarify the clinical characteristics and the prognosis for HFPEF patients without LVH.
Methods
We studied 1097 patients, who were hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure with LVEF ≥50%, and enrolled in the PURSUIT-HFpEF registry. Laboratory testing and echocardiography were examined in the compensated stage (in stable condition after treatment of acute decompensated HF). We divided these patients into 2 groups based on LV mass index (LVMI) in the compensated stage according to the American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging recommendations; patients with LVH (48%) and those without LVH (52%).
Results
Patients without LVH had significantly lower levels of C-reactive protein and N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and higher levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate in the compensated stage than those with it (p<0.05 for all). Cox hazard regression analysis showed that absence of LVH was favorably associated with the primary composite endpoint of all-cause death, HF rehospitalization, and cerebrovascular events (hazard ratio 0.776, 95% confidence interval 0.620-to 0.970, p<0.05).
On the other hand, the frequency of atrial fibrillation (Af) in the decompensated stage was higher in patients without LVH than those with it (52.1% vs 39.3%, p<0.001). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that absence of LVH was independently associated with presence of Af in the decompensated stage (odds ratio=1.520, 95% confidence interval 1.130 to 2.050, P<0.01)
Conclusions
HFPEF patients without LVH have less organ damage and favorable prognosis. Af may play a role in the decompensation of HF in HFPEF patients without LVH.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is still challenging, and the H2FPEF- and the HFA-PEFF score were proposed as simple and reliable diagnostic tools. We recently reported that the HFA-PEFF score was significantly associated with the composite endpoint of all-cause death and heart failure readmission in patients with acute decompensated HFpEF (Sotomi. Eur J Heart Fail, in press).
Purpose
To investigate the relation whether the HFA-PEFF or H2FPEF score can evaluate functional capacity in patients with HFpEF
Methods
We calculated H2FPEF score and the second step of HFA-PEFF score among the registered patients in the PURSUIT-HFpEF (Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study of Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction) study, which is a multicenter registration of patients hospitalized for acute decompensated HFpEF. We performed 6 minute walk (6MW) test and measured NT-proBNP before discharge. We followed the study patients for median of 360 days (IQR 237–630 days) to observe the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; composite of death, heart failure hospitalization and stroke).
Results
We enrolled 757 patients (age 81±9 years, male gender 45%) hospitalized for acute decompensated HFpEF for the present study. The H2FPEF score was obtained in 588 (77.7%) patients and all patients had ≥2 points. The HFA-PEFF score was obtained in 615 (81.2%) patients, though global longitudinal strain was not available. We divided these patients into 3 groups based on the HFA-PEFF score (score 2 to 4, 5, and 6) or on the H2FPEF score (score 0 to 3, 4 to 5 and 6 to 8). There were a significant difference in NT-pro BNP between 3 groups based on HFA-PEFF score (p=0.01, Table 1), and patients with score 6 had significantly higher NT-proBNP than those with score 2 to 4 (p=0.02). A significant difference was observed in 6MW distance among these groups (p=0.04, Table), and those with score 6 had significantly shorter distance than those with score 2 to 4 (p=0.04). Cox proportional hazard model selected HFA-PEFF score as a significant predictor for MACE, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that classification of HFA-PEFF score significantly stratified the patients' risk for MACE. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in 6MW distance among 3 groups based on H2FPEF score (p=0.53), and H2FPEF score was not an independent predictor for MCE by the Cox model analysis. Moreover, the lowest H2PEF score group had higher NT-proBNP than other 2 groups (p=0.02)
Conclusions
The HFA-PEFF score predicted functional capacity as well as prognosis in patients hospitalized for HFpEF, while the H2PEF score did not.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is not uncommon in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Left atrial (LA) substrate remodeling and corresponding mitral valve annulus dilation has been reported as the most possible cause of FMR. Percutaneous catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for AF. Although significant FMR could be improved by sinus restoration, patients with mitral regurgitation were more likely to experience recurrent AF post ablation, especially those with significant mitral regurgitation. There is no information available on the efficacy of CA for persistent AF in patients with FMR.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictors of FMR improvement by CA and to determine the efficacy of substrate and trigger CA for persistent AF in patients with FMR.
Methods
We prospectively studied 512 consecutive patients admitted for persistent AF ablation from the EARNEST-PVI (Prospective Multicenter Randomized Study of Effect of Extensive Ablation on Recurrence in Patients with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Pulmonary Vein Isolation) trial.
On admission, enrolled patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) or PVI-plus additional ablation (linear ablation or/and CFAE ablation). Of the 512 patients, we studied 94 patients with preoperative echocardiography showing moderate or greater baseline FMR. FMR grades were classified into 5 grades (0/1/2/3/4). The FMR improvement group (FMRI(+)) was defined as a case in which the FMR was improved by two or more grades compared the preoperative echocardiography and the one year follow-up examination.
Results
Of the 94 patients, 42 were in the PVI group and 52 were in the PVI-plus additional ablation group. There were 30 cases in the FMRI(+) group and 64 cases in the FMRI(−) group. There were no significant baseline differences in age, sinus rhythm maintenance, plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, left ventricular diastolic dimension, or left atrium dimension between the FMRI(+) and FMRI(−) groups. AF duration was significantly shorter in the FMRI(+) group than FMRI(−) groups (5.8±9.4 months vs 12.4±15.4 months, p<0.0001). In addition, significantly more additional ablation cases were observed in the FMRI(+) group than in the FMRI(−) group (73.3% vs 46.8%, p=0.016). In multivariate analyses, only additional ablation was an independent predictor of FMRI (odds ratio 0.226 95% CI 0.081–0.626; p=0.004).
Conclusions
Catheter ablation is a valid option for the treatment of AF in patients with functional MR and additional substrate and trigger ablation were the only independent predictor of FMR improvement.

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

Abstract
PURPOSE The mechanism of cytotoxicity of silibinin on two human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines, HepG2 (p53 wild-type) and Hep3B cells (p53 null), is examined in relation with the induction of autophagy and phosphorylation of AMP-activated protein kinase (p-AMPK). MATERIALS AND METHODS Levels of apoptosis in relation to the levels of autophagy and those of glycolysis-related proteins, glucose transporter 1/4 (Glut1/4) and hexokinase-II (HK2), in HepG2 and Hep3B cells were examined. RESULTS Silibinin-induced apoptosis was incomplete for HCC cell death in that up-regulated autophagy and/or reduced level of glycolysis, which are induced by silibinin treatment, antagonized silibinin-induced apoptosis. Inhibition of autophagy with 3-methyl adenine (3MA) or blocking of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation with Compound C (CC) enhanced silibinin-induced apoptosis. The results confirm that AMPK involved in autophagy as well as in glycolysis remaining with silibinin is responsible for attenuation of silibinin-induced apoptosis. Blocking of AMPK or autophagy contributes to the enhancement of silibinin's cytotoxicity to HepG2 and Hep3B cells. CONCLUSION This study shows that incomplete apoptosis of HCC by silibinin treatment becomes complete by repression of autophagy and/or glycolysis.

Abstract
Two European phase III trials comparing D1 and D2 demonstrated that D2 did not improve the overall survival and was associated with a high mortality related to splenectomy. However, a long-term follow-up study showed that the gastric cancer-related death rate was significantly higher in D1 than D2. Based on these findings, the standard surgery in Europe became D2 without pancreatico-splenectomy to prevent mortality. In contrast, the JCOG9501 phase III comparing D2 and D2 plus para-aortic nodal dissection did not showed a survival efficacy of extended lymphadenectomy, but the mortality rate was quite low in both surgeries. Subsequently, the JCOG0110 phase III study comparing D2 and spleen-preserving D2 for upper gastric cancer not invading the greater curvature clearly showed the non-inferiority of spleen preservation. Thus, spleen-preserving D2 was made the standard surgery for these tumors in Japan. However, splenectomy is often selected for complete dissection of the splenic-hilar nodes, a frequent metastatic site for upper gastric tumors invading the greater curvature. Recently, an approach involving splenic hilar nodal dissection without splenectomy has been developed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding the refinement of self-feeding skills is useful for the assessment of oral functional development in children. OBJECTIVES To determine normative data on lip closing during food intake in the development of independent spoon-feeding in normal children, we tested the hypothesis that lip-closing pressure and spoon operation differ depending on food type. METHODS Fifteen normal children (eight boys, seven girls; mean age: 6.5 years) were asked to eat test foods (2, 3 and 5 g of yogurt and cream cheese) freely with a spoon. Lip-closing pressures and kinematic data on spoon operation were recorded simultaneously with a strain gauge transducer embedded in the spoon and Vicon motion analysis, respectively. RESULTS In the most common lip-pressure pattern, only positive pressure was generated. In the second most common pattern, negative pressure occurred first, followed by positive pressure; this pattern was seen infrequently. Positive pressure (P < .001), pressure duration (P < .001) and spoon intra-oral time (P < .05) during intake of cream cheese (an adhesive food) were significantly greater than those during intake of yogurt (a non-adhesive food). Pressure onset occurred at the beginning of the spoon withdrawal period or at the turning point from spoon insertion to withdrawal, depending on the food. CONCLUSIONS Lip-closing force and spoon operation varied depending on food type in preschool and early elementary school children. Our findings suggest the need to consider the importance of food diversity and to pay attention to the spoon withdrawal period when assessing the development and maturation of lip function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has imposed restrictions on people's social behavior. However, there is limited evidence regarding the relationship between changes in social participation and depressive symptom onset among older adults during the pandemic. We examined the association between changes in social participation and the onset of depressive symptoms among community-dwelling older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. DESIGN This was a longitudinal study. SETTING Communities in Minokamo City, a semi-urban area in Japan. PARTICIPANTS We recruited community-dwelling older adults aged ≥ 65 years using random sampling. Participants completed a questionnaire survey at baseline (March 2020) and follow-up (October 2020). MEASUREMENTS Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Two-Question Screen. Based on their social participation status in March and October 2020, participants were classified into four groups: "continued participation," "decreased participation," "increased participation," and "consistent non-participation." RESULTS A total of 597 older adults without depressive symptoms at baseline were analyzed (mean age = 79.8 years; 50.4% females). Depressive symptoms occurred in 20.1% of the participants during the observation period. Multivariable Poisson regression analysis showed that decreased social participation was significantly associated with the onset of the depressive symptoms, compared to continued participation, after adjusting for all covariates (incidence rate ratio = 1.59, 95% confidence interval = 1.01-2.50, p = 0.045). CONCLUSION Older adults with decreased social participation during the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated a high risk of developing depressive symptoms. We recommend that resuming community activities and promoting the participation of older adults, with sufficient consideration for infection prevention, are needed to maintain mental health among older adults.

Abstract
The field-induced superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) in two-dimensional (2D) systems is a famous example of a quantum phase transition. However, an emergence of an anomalous metallic state induced by field has been a long-standing problem in 2D superconductors. While theories predicted that the emergence is attributed to strong phase fluctuations of the superconducting order parameter due to quantum fluctuations, usual resistance measurements have not probed them directly. Here, using Nernst effect measurements, we uncover superconducting fluctuations in the vicinity of the field-induced metallic state in an amorphous Mo_{x}Ge_{1-x} thin film. The field range where the vortex Nernst signals are detectable remains nonzero toward zero temperature, and it locates inside the metallic state defined by the magnetoresistance, indicating that the metallic state results from quantum vortex liquid (QVL) with phase fluctuations due to quantum fluctuations. Slow decay of transport entropy of vortices in the QVL with decreasing temperature suggests that the metallic state originates from broadening of a quantum critical point in SIT.

Abstract
Background: During baseball pitching, a high amount of elbow varus torque in the arm cocking-to-acceleration phase is thought to be a biomechanical risk factor for medial elbow pain and injury. The biomechanics of the stride phase may provide preparation for the arm cocking-to-acceleration phase that follows it. Purpose: To determine the kinematic parameters that predict peak elbow varus torque during the stride phase of pitching. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Participants were 107 high school baseball pitchers (age range, 15-18 years) without shoulder or elbow problems. Whole-body kinematics and kinetics during fastball pitching were analyzed using 3-dimensional measurements from 36 retroreflective markers. A total of 26 kinematic parameters of the upper and lower limbs during the stride phase leading up to the stride foot contact were extracted for multiple regression analysis to assess their combined effect on the magnitude of peak elbow varus torque. Results: Increased wrist extension, elbow pronation, knee flexion on the leading leg, knee extension on the trailing leg at stride foot contact, and upward displacement of the body’s center of mass in the stride phase were significantly correlated with decreased peak elbow varus torque (all P < .05). Moreover, 38% of the variance in peak elbow varus torque was explained by a combination of these 5 significant kinematic variables (P < .001). Conclusion: We found that 5 kinematic parameters during the stride phase and the combination of these parameters were associated with peak elbow varus torque. The stride phase provides biomechanical preparation for pitching and plays a key role in peak elbow varus torque in subsequent pitching phases. Clinical Relevance: The present data can be used to screen pitching mechanics with motion capture assessment to reduce peak elbow varus torque. Decreased peak elbow varus torque is expected to reduce the risk of elbow medial pain and injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrence rates of keloids have generally been reported at one time point. However, the longer the duration after treatment, the greater the likelihood that such lesions will recur. In this study, we analysed the time to recurrence during long-term follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed recurrence-free interval in 52 patients with keloid (age 8-79 years) who had been treated between June 2006 and January 2011 using a standardised protocol developed by our group. RESULTS Mean duration of follow-up was 37.5 (range, 7-120) months in patients with keloid. Kaplan-Meier survival curves revealed a statistically significant difference in recurrence-free interval between ear keloids and keloids excluding ear keloids. Recurrence rate for keloids was high in the first 2 years after treatment. CONCLUSIONS Kaplan-Meier analysis was useful for understanding the tendency of recurrence of keloids after treatment using a standardised protocol.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) still remains challenging, and simple and reliable diagnostic tools have been required. Recently, novel and evidence-based diagnostic algorithms for HFpEF were proposed, such as H2FPEF score (Circulation. 2018) and HFA-PEFF score (Eur Heart J 2019), and their accuracy was validated in the outside patient group. However, there are regional and ethnic variations in patient characteristics of HFpEF, particularly between Western and Asian countries, and it is not elucidated whether these diagnostic scores are useful in Asian population.
Purpose
To investigate the validity of the HFA-PEFF- and H2FPEF score in Japanese patients with HFpEF.
Methods
We calculated H2FPEF score and the second step of HFA-PEFF score among the registered patients in the PURSUIT-HFpEF (Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study of Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction) study, which is a multicenter registration of patients hospitalized for HFpEF. The obtained scores were compared with the scores of the HFpEF cohort in the previous validation studies. We followed the study patients for median of 360 days (IQR 237–630 days) to observe the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; composite of death, heart failure hospitalization and stroke).
Results
We enrolled 757 patients hospitalized for HFpEF between June 2016 and August 2019 for the present study. H2FPEF score was obtained in 588 (77.7%) patients among them. Compared with the HFpEF cohorts in the previously reported sub-analysis of TOPCAT trial, the PURSUIT-HFpEF cohort had lower mean value of HFpEF score (4.0±1.8 points vs. 6.0±2.0 points in Americans or 5.3±1.9 points in Russians). It had significantly higher proportion (40.3%, p<0.001) of patients in the low likelihood of HFpEF category (0–3 points) than the TOPCAT cohorts (8.0% in Americans and 19.6% in Russians).
HFA-PEFF score was obtained in 615 (81.2%) patients, though global longitudinal strain was not available. The mean value of HFA-PEFF score was 5.0±0.8, and all patients had ≥2 points. The proportion of patients in the high likelihood of HFpEF category (5–6 points) was 88.3%, which was significantly higher (p<0.001) than those of the HFpEF cohort from Europe and USA in the previous validation study (Eur J Heart Fail 2019). There was no correlation between H2FPEF score and HFA-PEFF score (R=0.06, p=0.14). Cox proportional hazard model selected HFA-PEFF score as a significant predictor for MACE during follow-up period, whereas H2PEF score was not selected. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that patients with 6 points of HFA-PEFF score had higher incidence rate of MACE than those with ≤5 points (p=0.002).
Conclusion
The HFA-PEFF score could be more useful for the diagnosis and risk stratification for HFpEF than the H2PEF score in the Japanese cohort.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The novel nutrition index; triglyceride (TG) × total cholesterol (TG) × body weight (BW) index (TCBI) has been reported to be an easy and useful predictor for patients with coronary artery disease. However, there is no information available on the prognostic value of TCBI in patients with heart failure with preserved LVEF (HFpEF) who admitted with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).
Methods and results
Data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study. PURSUIT-HFpEF study is a prospective multicenter observational study in which collaborating hospitals recorded clinical, echocardiographic, and outcome data of ADHF pts with HFpEF. We enrolled consecutive 757 HFpEF patients who admitted with ADHF from June 2016 to June 2019. TCBI was calculated by the formula; TG × TC × BW / 1000 at the discharge. After we excluded patients with in-hospital death or without sufficient data, we analyzed 419 patients. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. During a median follow up period of 1.1 (0.9–1.9) years, 59 patients died. ROC analysis revealed that TCBI at discharge was a fair discriminator for predicting all-cause mortality (AUC 0.676, sensitivity 53%, specificity 78%). Multivariate Cox proportional analysis showed that TCBI (p=0.002) was an independent predictor for all cause death after adjustment with major confounders such as age, gender, NT-proBNP, hemoglobin and serum creatinine level. We divided patients into 4 groups according to quartiles of TCBI. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significantly higher risk of all-cause death in relation to the decrease in TCBI.
Conclusion
TCBI, a simple and novel nutrition index, is a useful and strong long-term prognostic indicator in ADHF patients with HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) can develop pulmonary hypertension (PH), which can result from pre-capillary PH as well as post-capillary PH. However, the prevalence and clinical significance of pre-capillary component of PH in HFpEF remain unknown.
Purpose
We aimed to investigate prevalence, clinical features, and prognostic impact of pre-capillary and/or post capillary PH associated with HFpEF.
Methods
From the PURSUIT-HFpEF (Prospective Multicenter Observational Study of Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction) registry, 204 patients (men: 46%, age: 79±9 years) who were hospitalized with HF and underwent right heart catheterization were divided into 4 groups according to the PH guidelines: non-PH, isolated post-capillary PH (Ipc-PH), pre-capillary PH, and combined pre- and post-capillary PH (Cpc-PH). Patients who had been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension were excluded from the analysis.
Results
The prevalence of PH was 31% (Ipc-PH: 22%, pre-capillary PH: 3%, Cpc-PH: 6%). The prevalence of subcategories of PH was significantly different depending on mean right atrial pressure (RAP) (figure). Echocardiography at discharge showed no significant differences in RV diameter or TAPSE, but smaller LV diameter and higher E/e' in pre-capillary PH and Cpc-PH, which resulted in a higher operant diastolic elastance (Ed). Composite endpoint of all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization at 1 year occurred 13% in non-PH, 25% in Ipc-PH, 49% in pre-capillary PH, and 63% in Cpc-PH, respectively (p=0.001 by log-rank test).
Conclusions
Distinct prevalence of PH was observed in the groups with different RAP levels. Pre-capillary component of PH was associated with impaired LV diastolic function and worse outcomes in HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Malnutrition is one of the most important comorbidities among heart failure (HF) patients, and serum cholinesterase (CHE) has been reported to be a prognostic factor in HF patients. On the other hand, atrial fibrillation (AF) is frequently observed in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, there is little information available on the prognostic value of nutritional status in HFpEF patients, with and without AF. We sought to clarify the prognostic value of CHE in HFpEF with and without AF and compare it with that of other nutrition indices such as gastric nutritional risk index (GNRI), controlling nutritional status (CONUT), and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI).
Methods and results
Patients data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study, which is a prospective multicenter observational registry for acute decompensated heart failure patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50% in Osaka. We analyzed 380 patients (median age: 80 [75–87] years, male: 46%) after exclusion of patients with in-hospital death, missing follow-up data, or missing data to calculate nutritional indices. On admission, 155 patients had AF. Laboratory data were obtained at discharge. During a mean follow up period of 1.1±0.6 years, 131 patients had a composite endpoint (CE) of all-cause death and hospitalization for worsening heart failure or cerebrovascular disorder. In multivariate Cox analysis, in patients with AF, CHE was significantly associated with CE independently of age, gender and body mass index after the adjustment with serum albumin, total cholesterol levels and total lymphocyte count, while it was not significantly associated with CE in patients without AF. C-index of CHE (0.708) was higher than that of GNRI (0.555, p=0.0028), CONUT (0.651, p=0.208) and PNI (0.635, p=0.208) in AF patients, while there were no significant differences in those nutritional indices in patients without AF. Kaplan-Meier curve analysis revealed that AF patients with lower CHE (<208 U/L = median value) had higher risk of CE than those with higher CHE (44% vs 18%, adjusted HR 3.26 95% CI [1.66–6.67], p=0.0005), while there was no significant difference in the occurrence rate of CE between patients with and without higher CHE in non-AF group (42% vs 31%, adjusted HR 1.28 95% CI [0.78–2.13], p=0.33).
Conclusions
Prognostic value of CHE would be stronger than other nutritional indices in HFpEF patients with AF, while it would be weak in HFpEF patients without AF.

Abstract
Introduction
Frailty and aging are two common conditions both associated with increased vulnerability to stressful events with high risk of adverse outcomes.
Purpose
To evaluate the association between frailty and aging and their impacts on clinical outcome in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Methods
Analysis was performed from a prospective multicenter observational registry for HFpEF (PURSUIT-HFpEF Registry) conducted in the Osaka region of Japan. A total of 757 patients hospitalized for acute heart failure (diagnosed by using Framingham criteria) met the inclusion criteria: a left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50% and brain natriuretic peptide ≥100pg/ml. We included 483 patients (age, 80±9 years; men, 45%; atrial fibrillation, 35%) whose follow-up data after survival discharge were available. Patients' frailty and aging were evaluated using the clinical frailty scale (CFS) and age quartiles (Q1: <76 years (n=122), Q2: 76–82 years (n=111), Q3: 82–87 years (n=127), Q4: >87 years (n=123)), respectively. The primary clinical endpoint was defined as the composite of death, re-hospitalization for heart failure, and cerebrovascular accident.
Results
The median (interquartile range) CFS rating was 3 (2–5), and there was a little correlation between CFS rating and age (r2=0.16, p<0.001). The prevalence of frailty, defined as a CFS rating >4 (n=132), was positively correlated with age quartiles (Q1: 9.0%, Q2: 21.4%, Q3: 29.9%, Q4: 48.0%, p<0.001). During the median follow-up period 396 days (interquartile range, 344–698) after discharge, the clinical endpoint was observed in 172 patients. The incidence was higher in patients with frailty than those without it (49.6% vs. 30.4%, log-rank p<0.001). It was also correlated with age quartiles (Q1: 23.0%, Q2: 34.2%, Q3: 36.2%, Q4: 48.8%, log-rank p=0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that frailty (hazard ratio, 1.52; 95% confidence interval, 1.09–2.10; p=0.013) and age (hazard ratio per quartile increase, 1.24; 95% confidence interval, 1.07–1.43; p=0.004) were both associated with the clinical endpoint. Subgroup analysis in 352 patients without frailty also revealed the significant impact of age on the endpoint (1.26; 1.06–1.51; p=0.008). However, in 131 patients with frailty, there was no significant impact of age on the endpoint (1.16; 0.90–1.51; p=0.25).
Conclusions
Frailty was common and was associated with aging in HFpEF patients. Although they were both associated with unfavorable events, aging was no longer a significant predictor of adverse outcomes under the frailty conditions.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Structural remodeling is an important aspect of pathophysiology of heart failure (HF). The compensatory mechanism against diastolic dysfunction would be more obvious on the left atrium rather than left ventricle in HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Purpose
To investigate the impact of left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) remodeling on clinical outcomes in HFpEF patients.
Methods
Analysis was performed from a prospective multicenter observational registry for HFpEF (PURSUIT-HFpEF Registry) conducted in the Osaka region of Japan. A total of 757 patients hospitalized for acute HF (diagnosed by using Framingham criteria) met the inclusion criteria: a LV ejection fraction ≥50% and brain natriuretic peptide ≥100pg/ml. We included 381 patients (age, 82±9 years; men, 45%; atrial fibrillation (AF), 34%) whose follow-up data after survival discharge were available and whose LA volume index (LAVI) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) at discharge were measured by the biplane Simpson's method using echocardiography. The primary endpoint was defined as the composite of death, re-hospitalization for HF, and cerebrovascular accident.
Results
The LAVI and LVEDVI at discharge was 54±25 ml/m2 and 55±21 ml/m2, respectively (r2=0.014, p=0.021). When patients were classified into the LAVI tertiles groups (T1: <40ml/m2 (n=124), T2: 41–59ml/m2 (n=127), T3: >60ml/m2 (n=130)), there was a positive correlation between the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction and the LAVI tertiles (T1, 21.0%; T2, 48.8%; T3, 51.5%; p<0.001). On the other hand, significant association was not observed between the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction and the LVEDVI tertile groups (p=0.42). During the median follow-up period of 396 days (IQR, 345–698), the composite endpoint was observed in 131 patients and there was a positive correlation between the endpoint and the LAVI tertiles (T1, 24.2%; T2, 38.6%; T3, 40.3%; p=0.011). On the other hand, no correlation was found between the endpoint and the LVEDVI tertiles (p=0.13). After adjustment for age, gender, and presence of diastolic dysfunction, Cox regression analysis revealed that not LVEDVI but LAVI at discharge was a significant predictor of the composite endpoint in the entire cohort (hazard ratio per 10 ml/m2 increase; 1.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.02–1.16; p=0.009) and in the sinus rhythm subgroup (1.10; 1.01–1.20; p=0.034). However, not LAVI but LVEDVI was a significant predictor for the adverse outcomes in the AF subgroup (1.23; 1.04–1.46; p=0.016).
Conclusions
Increased LAVI at discharge, which was associated with diastolic dysfunction, related to unfavorable prognosis in patients with HFpEF. However, LAVI was no more a predictor for the adverse outcomes but LVEDVI was in the AF subgroup. The clinical significance of atrial and ventricular remodeling may differ between sinus rhythm and AF rhythm in HFpEF population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Frailty is associated with malnutrition and poor prognosis in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the cardiac factors associated with frailty have not been fully examined in patients with HFpEF.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to clarify the cardiac factors related to frailty in patients with HFpEF.
Methods
Of the 756 patients who registered prospective, multicenter, observational study of patients with HFpEF (PURSUIT-HFpEF) registry, 481 cases with clinical frailty score (CFS) and prognosis after discharge were examined. Frailty was defined as CFS ≥5. Outcomes were composite endpoint of all-cause death and heart failure readmission, and all-cause mortality. We compared outcomes between patients without and with frailty, and sought to identify factors which were associated with increase in clinical frailty score by the correlation analysis and linear regression analysis.
Results
Of 481 patients, 131 patients (27.2%) were frail. Male gender was less in patients with frailty than those without frailty (26.7% vs 73.3%, P<0.001). Frail patients had higher age (85.2±7.3 vs 78.7±9.4 years, P<0.001). During follow-up period of 396 [343, 697] days, composite endpoint (Kaplan-Meier event rate estimates, 77% vs. 60%; log-rank P<0.001), and all-cause mortality (Kaplan-Meier event rate estimates, 57% vs. 28%; log-rank P<0.001) was higher in patients with frailty than those without frailty. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed frailty was significantly and independently associated with mortality (HR=1.40, 95% CI=1.17–1.68, P<0.001). CFS was significantly correlated with age (r=0.401, P<0.001), sex (r=0.223, P<0.001), body mass index (r=−0.146, P=0.001), hemoglobin (r=−0.148, P=0.001), albumin (r=−0.222, P<0.001), left ventricular diastolic diameter (r=−0.184, P<0.001), interventricular septum thickness (r=−0.124, P=0.008), left ventricular mass (r=−0.217, P<0.001), tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (r=−0.165, P=0.001), and tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient (TRPG) (r=0.189, P<0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis using these factors as covariates revealed age (standardized β: 0.337, P<0.001), sex (standardized β: 0.120, P=0.014), albumin (standardized β: −0.151, P=0.003) and TRPG (standardized β: 0.129, P=0.005) were significantly and independently associated with increase in clinical frailty score.
Conclusion
Our results suggest that not only nutritional factors but also a cardiac factor were associated with frailty, and frailty was associated with mortality in patients with HFpEF. Improvement of hemodynamics in HFpEF patients as well as improvement of nutrition might contribute to alleviation of frail in HFpEF patients.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this work was to identify and genetically characterize enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) O80:H2 from diarrhoeic and septicaemic calves in Belgium and to comparing them with human EHEC after whole genome sequencing. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten EHEC and 21 EPEC O80 identified by PCR between 2009 and 2018 from faeces, intestinal content and a kidney of diarrhoeic or septicaemic calves were genome sequenced and compared to 19 human EHEC identified between 2008 and 2019. They all belonged to the O80:H2 serotype and ST301, harboured the eaeξ gene, and 23 of the 29 EHEC contained the stx2d gene. Phylogenetically, they were distributed in two major sub-lineages: one comprised a majority of bovine EPEC whereas the second one comprised a majority of stx2d bovine and human EHEC. CONCLUSIONS Not only EPEC but also EHEC O80:H2 are present in diarrhoeic and septicaemic calves in Belgium and are genetically related to human EHEC. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY These findings support the need to assess cattle as potential source of contamination of humans by EHEC O80:H2 and to understand the evolution of bovine and human EHEC and EPEC O80:H2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acral melanoma (AM) is an epidemiologically and molecularly distinct entity that is underrepresented in clinical trials on immunotherapy in melanoma. We aimed to analyze the efficacy of anti-programmed cell death 1 (anti-PD-1) antibodies in advanced AM. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated unresectable stage III or stage IV AM patients treated with an anti-PD-1 antibody in any line at 21 Japanese institutions between 2014 and 2018. The clinicobiologic characteristics, objective response rate (ORR, RECIST), survival estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and toxicity (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 4.0.) were analyzed to estimate the efficacy of the anti-PD-1 antibodies. RESULTS In total, 193 patients (nail apparatus, 70; palm and sole, 123) were included in the study. Anti-PD-1 antibody was used as first-line therapy in 143 patients (74.1%). Baseline lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was within the normal concentration in 102 patients (52.8%). The ORR of all patients was 16.6% (complete response, 3.1%; partial response, 13.5%), and the median overall survival (OS) was 18.1 months. Normal LDH concentrations showed a significantly stronger association with better OS than abnormal concentrations (median OS 24.9 versus 10.7 months; P < 0.001). Although baseline characteristics were similar between the nail apparatus and the palm and sole groups, ORR was significantly lower in the nail apparatus group [6/70 patients (8.6%) versus 26/123 patients (21.1%); P = 0.026]. Moreover, the median OS in this group was significantly poorer (12.8 versus 22.3 months; P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Anti-PD-1 antibodies have limited efficacy in AM patients. Notably, patients with nail apparatus melanoma had poorer response and survival, making nail apparatus melanoma a strong candidate for further research on the efficacy of novel combination therapies with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Abstract
AbstractObjectiveIn this study, we evaluated brain perfusion in patients with first-episode medicated schizophrenia using the new analytical method, statistical parametric mapping (SPM) applied to single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT).MethodWe performed SPECT with 99-Tc-ethyl cysteinate dimer (99mTc-ECD) of the brain and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with schizophrenia (n = 30) and control subjects matched for age and gender (n = 37). A voxel-by-voxel group analysis was performed using SPM2 (Z > 3.0, P < 0.001, uncorrected for multiple comparisons).ResultIn comparison with control subjects, the volumes of the bilateral frontal areas were found to be decreased on MRI. Blood flow was found to be reduced in the bilateral temporal areas in the patients with schizophrenia on SPECT.ConclusionIn this study, patients with first-episode schizophrenia appeared to have significant bilateral temporal hypoperfusion, although temporal volumes were not significantly decreased in comparison with control subjects. Abnormality of temporal lobe blood flow in schizophrenia may show that functional changes occur earlier than structural changes, and may assist in the diagnosis of schizophrenia.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Although the diagnostic utility of Doppler-derived hemodynamic parameters of prosthetic aortic valve (PAV) for detecting prosthetic dysfunction has been demonstrated in adults, interpreting these parameters in children is difficult, as the relative size of PAV varies more greatly in them than in adults. We aimed to elucidate how the Doppler-derived hemodynamic parameters change as the PAV size decreases relative to the somatic growth of children.
Methods
We reviewed 11 echocardiographic examinations of 9 mechanical PAVs in 8 children. The median age at echocardiographic examination was 10.2 (0.5-17.7) years. Underlying diagnoses leading to aortic valve replacement were aortic regurgitation due to dysplastic aortic valve in 3 children, Marfan syndrome in 1, persistent truncus arteriosus in 1, and aortic stenosis associated with interrupted aortic arch/coarctation of the aorta in 3. The PAV functioned normally in all examinations. PAV size was 19 mm in 8 examinations and 17 mm in 3 examination, which was standardized to body surface area at the examination by calculating z-scores based on previously published normative data of aortic valve diameter. We assessed the Doppler-derived hemodynamic parameters, namely peak velocity, mean pressure gradient, and accerelation time of the transprosthetic flow, the velocity-time integral (VTI) ratio of the left ventricular outflow to the transprosthetic flow, and effective orifice area (EOA) of the PAV calculated by using the continuity equation. The Pearson correlation coefficients between the PAV size z-score and Doppler-derived hemodynamic parameters of the normally functioning PAVs were evaluated. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results
All the Doppler-derived hemodynamic parameters except for EOA had a statistically significant correlation with PAV size z-score (Pearson correlation coefficients: peak velocity, -0.76; mean pressure gradient, -0.70; acceleration time, -0.66; and VTI ratio, 0.76). Multivariate analysis revealed that VTI ratio was the sole parameter that independently correlated with PAV size z-score.
Conclusions
VTI ratio, which is theoretically less dependent on cardiac preload than other hemodynamic parameters, strongly reflects BSA-indexed PAV size. Disproportionately decreased VTI ratio in relation to PAV size might indicate prosthetic obstruction in children with PAV.
