Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Excessive expansion of Staphylococcus aureus is associated with several skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis (AD). Recently, we have demonstrated that washing skins with ultra-pure soft water containing little bivalent metal ions improved skin conditions of atopic subjects. In this study, we investigated the roles of calcium or magnesium on the proliferation of S. aureus both in vitro and in vivo. Depletion of calcium and magnesium in the culture medium significantly suppressed the expansion of S. aureus growth. When S. aureus, diluted with water containing calcium/magnesium at the concentration of medium-hard water (83·0 mg l-1 as CaCO3 ) or the one that contains little calcium/magnesium, was applied onto the tape-stripped skin of Hos:HR-1 mice, growth of S. aureus in water without those minerals on the skin was suppressed. These results suggest that depletion of both calcium and magnesium abrogate the proliferation of S. aureus not only in the culture system but also on the skin surface of mice. Since colonization of S. aureus on the skin is well-known to exacerbate AD symptoms, usage of ultra-pure soft water containing less calcium and magnesium may improve the skin condition through the suppression of S. aureus growth on the skin of patients with skin problems. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study demonstrates the importance of calcium and magnesium for the colonization and growth of Staphylococcus aureus by using both in vitro culture systems and in vivo experiments on the murine skin. Our results indicate that the removal of these metal ions is probably beneficial for protecting the skin from S. aureus. Thus, using ultra-pure soft water without metal ions may improve the skin condition of patients with skin problems through the protection from S. aureus colonization.

Abstract
AIMS Skin colonization of Staphylococcus spp. critically affects the severity of dermatitis in humans and animals. We examined different types of fatty acid salts for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus spp. when used in ultrapure soft water (UPSW). We also evaluated their therapeutic effect on a spontaneous canine model of dermatitis. METHODS AND RESULTS UPSW, in which Ca(++) and Mg(++) were replaced with Na(+) , was generated using a water softener with cation-exchange resin. Staphylococcus aureus (Staph. aureus), Staphylococcus intermedius (Staph. intermedius), and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (Staph. pseudintermedius) were incubated with various fatty acid salts in distilled water (DW) or UPSW and the number of bacteria was counted. Among the fatty acids, oleic acid salt and linoleic acid (LA) salt reduced the number of these bacteria. Also, UPSW enhanced the antibacterial effect of LA on Staph. spp. In spontaneously developed itchy dermatitis in companion dogs, shampoo treatment with liquid soap containing 10% LA in UPSW improved skin conditions. CONCLUSIONS LA salt showed antibacterial activity against Staph. spp. Treatment with soap containing LA with UPSW reduced clinical conditions in dogs with dermatitis. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Because colonization of Staph. spp. on the skin exacerbates dermatitis, the use of LA-containing soap in UPSW may reduce unpleasant clinical symptoms of the skin.

Abstract
Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS) is a congenital disorder characterized by intellectual disability, growth deficiency, microcephaly, coarse facial features, and hypoplastic or absent fifth fingernails and/or toenails. We previously reported that five genes are mutated in CSS, all of which encode subunits of the switch/sucrose non-fermenting (SWI/SNF) ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complex: SMARCB1, SMARCA4, SMARCE1, ARID1A, and ARID1B. In this study, we examined 49 newly recruited CSS-suspected patients, and re-examined three patients who did not show any mutations (using high-resolution melting analysis) in the previous study, by whole-exome sequencing or targeted resequencing. We found that SMARCB1, SMARCA4, or ARID1B were mutated in 20 patients. By examining available parental samples, we ascertained that 17 occurred de novo. All mutations in SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 were non-truncating (missense or in-frame deletion) whereas those in ARID1B were all truncating (nonsense or frameshift deletion/insertion) in this study as in our previous study. Our data further support that CSS is a SWI/SNF complex disorder.

Abstract
The present report concerns transient neonatal diabetes mellitus in an extremely preterm infant (gestational age 27 weeks, birth weight 718 g). The patient had intrauterine growth retardation and developed hyperglycaemia on the first day of life. Insulin administration was discontinued on the 89th day of life, which was 1 day before the original due date. This case suggests that (a) insufficient insulin secretion started at least from the second trimester of the pregnancy, and (b) the duration needed for recovery of insulin secretion was not dependent on the maturity.

Abstract
We describe a case of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) with long-term follow-up. A 1-month-old girl with marked sclerodermatous skin changes developed various symptoms of HGPS during follow-up. These included sclerotic skin, pigmentation, skin atrophy with translucent veins, wispy hair and alopecia, nail dystrophy and decreased sweating. Marked skin calcinosis was observed over almost the entire body, a symptom that has apparently been ignored in the literature. At 16 years old, the girl underwent surgery for a skull fracture and subdural haematoma, which was followed by chronic ulceration. Wet dressing with insulin-like growth factor was used with considerable effect. Mutation of the lamin A/C (LMNA) gene mutation, which encodes nuclear lamin A and C, has been reported to be the cause of HGPS. Our case showed the mutation G608G (GGC-->GGT), which resulted in a cryptic splice site and consequently in a truncated lamin A/C protein.

Abstract
The main hallmark of diabetic nephropathy is elevation in urinary albumin excretion. We performed a genome-wide linkage scan in 63 extended families with multiple members with type II diabetes. Urinary albumin excretion, measured as the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), was determined in 426 diabetic and 431 nondiabetic relatives who were genotyped for 383 markers. The data were analyzed using variance components linkage analysis. Heritability (h2) of ACR was significant in diabetic (h2=0.23, P=0.0007), and nondiabetic (h2=0.39, P=0.0001) relatives. There was no significant difference in genetic variance of ACR between diabetic and nondiabetic relatives (P=0.16), and the genetic correlation (rG=0.64) for ACR between these two groups was not different from 1 (P=0.12). These results suggested that similar genes contribute to variation in ACR in diabetic and nondiabetic relatives. This hypothesis was supported further by the linkage results. Support for linkage to ACR was suggestive in diabetic relatives and became significant in all relatives for chromosome 22q (logarithm of odds, LOD=3.7) and chromosome 7q (LOD=3.1). When analyses were restricted to 59 Caucasian families, support for linkage in all relatives increased and became significant for 5q (LOD=3.4). In conclusion, genes on chromosomes 22q, 5q and 7q may contribute to variation in urinary albumin excretion in diabetic and nondiabetic individuals.

Abstract
Sigma factors, often in conjunction with other transcription factors, regulate gene expression in prokaryotes at the transcriptional level. Specific transcription factors tend to co-occur with specific sigma factors. To predict new members of the transcription factor regulon, we applied Bayes rule to combine the Bayesian probability of sigma factor prediction calculated from microarray data and the sigma factor binding sequence motif, the motif score of the transcription factor associated with the sigma factor, the empirically determined distance between the transcription start site to the cis-regulatory region, and the tendency for specific sigma factors and transcription factors to co-occur. By combining these information sources, we improve the accuracy of predicting regulation by transcription factors, and also confirm the sigma factor prediction. We applied our proposed method to all genes in Bacillus subtilis to find currently unknown gene regulations by transcription factors and sigma factors.

Abstract
MOTIVATION Sigma factors regulate the expression of genes in Bacillus subtilis at the transcriptional level. We assess the accuracy of a fold-change analysis, Bayesian networks, dynamic models and supervised learning based on coregulation in predicting gene regulation by sigma factors from gene expression data. To improve the prediction accuracy, we combine sequence information with expression data by adding their log-likelihood scores and by using a logistic regression model. We use the resulting score function to discover currently unknown gene regulations by sigma factors. RESULTS The coregulation-based supervised learning method gave the most accurate prediction of sigma factors from expression data. We found that the logistic regression model effectively combines expression data with sequence information. In a genome-wide search, highly significant logistic regression scores were found for several genes whose transcriptional regulation is currently unknown. We provide the corresponding RNA polymerase binding sites to enable a straightforward experimental verification of these predictions.

Abstract
A 2-generation reproductive toxicity study of tributyltin chloride (TBTCl) was conducted in male rats using dietary concentrations of 5, 25, and 125 ppm TBTCl to evaluate its effect on sexual development and the reproductive system. F1 males were killed on postnatal day 119 and F2 males were killed on postnatal day 91. TBTCl affected the male reproductive system of rats. The weights of the testis and epididymis were decreased and homogenization-resistant spermatid and sperm count were reduced mainly in the 125 ppm TBTCl group. Histopathologic changes were also observed in the testis of this group and included vacuolization of the seminiferous epithelium, spermatid retention, and delayed spermiation. However, the changes were minimal in nature. The weight of the ventral prostate was decreased to 84% of the control value in the 125 ppm group in the F1 generation and decreased to 84 and 69% of the control value in the 25 ppm and 125 ppm TBTCl groups, respectively, in the F2 generation. The serum 17beta-estradiol concentration was also decreased to 55% of the control value in the 125 ppm group in the F1 generation and decreased to 78 and 57% of the control value in the 25 ppm and 125 ppm TBTCl groups, respectively, in the F2 generation. However, the serum concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH) and testosterone were not decreased in these groups. These changes corresponded with those caused by aromatase inhibition and therefore TBTCl might be a weak aromatase inhibitor in male rats.

Abstract
We determined the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-coverting enzyme (ACE) gene in a multicenter trial of ethnically homogeneous Japanese type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. All patients (n = 748) were divided into 5 groups as follows: group I (normoalbuminuric patients), group II (microalbuminuric patients), group III (overt albuminuric patients with serum creatinine (s-Cr) levels of less than 1.2 mg/dl), group IV (overt albuminuric patients with s-Cr levels of more than 1.3 mg/dl but excluding hemodialysis patients), and group V (hemodialysis patients). We selected patients with a diabetic duration of more than 15 years in the mild stage (groups I and II), but placed no limits on those in the advanced and end-stages (groups III, IV and V). The frequency of the DD genotype was slightly higher in the advanced and end stages. The frequency of the DD genotype in the mild stage differed from that in the end stage (II/ID/DD 47.8%/41.0%/11.2% vs. 37.0 %/43.3%/19.7% p = 0.07, II + ID/DD 88.8%/11.2% vs. 80.3%/19.7%, p < 0.05). D allele frequency in the mild stage also differed from that in the end stage (I/D 68.3%/31.7% vs. 58.7%/41.3%, p < 0.02). The presence of the DD genotype increased the risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) more than that of the other genotypes (odds ratio ID/II = 1.37, 95% CI 0.82-2.27; DD/II = 2.27, 95% CI 1.12-4.61). It appears that the DD genotype is associated with progression of Japanese type 2 diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
A gene for Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2), which locates Xq28, was recently found to be responsible for Rett syndrome. Although mutational analyses of MECP2 in Rett syndrome have been extensively analyzed, the mechanism(s) by which variable clinical phenotype occurred between affected monozygotic twins or sisters have not been clarified. We hypothesized that the difference of X-inactivation pattern might explain this phenomenon. With the method based on methylation-specific PCR, we analyzed polymorphic trinucleotide repeat in the human andorogen receptor gene mapped on Xq11.2-12, using DNA samples derived from previously described monozygotic twins and sisters together with their parents. Their clinical phenotypes were reported to be significantly different between siblings. We found that (1) maternally derived allele is predominantly active than paternally derived one in three out of four patients analyzed, (2) remaining one twin patient, whose ratio of active paternal allele is almost the same level as maternal allele, showed far much severe phenotype when compared with her counterpart. Together with the finding that most of the alleles with de novo mutation are from paternal X chromosome in sporadic cases, the existence of a mechanism that suppresses mutated paternal allele activation, resulting skewed X-inactivation to make clinical phenotype milder, might be speculated. Thus, when this mechanism fails to work sufficiently by an unknown reason, severer clinical phenotype could occur.

Abstract
The rapid release from a double-compressed tablet containing theophylline as a core drug with the pH-dependent water-soluble polymers, Eudragit L100, S100 or L100-55 used as a wall material was suppressed by argon plasma-irradiation due to an effect of inter-segmental cross-link reactions on the decrease in the surface polymer solubility of outer layer. In addition, the rapid theophylline release from the double-compressed tablet of Eudragit L100-55 with a lower glass transition temperature (Tg) has converted into the delayed-release system under a set of plasma operational conditions due to an additional effect of plasma heat flux on softening of Eudragit L100-55 surface resulting in the formation of the film-like surface with a particle-particle interlinking of the outer layer.

Abstract
A 27-year-old woman with progressive diaphyseal dysplasia (Camurati-Engelmann disease) received pamidronate and corticosteroid therapy for bone pain. During therapy, disease activity was assessed serially using bone scintigraphy with Tc-99m HMDP. With pamidronate administration, the bone pain became worse and diaphyseal uptake of Tc-99m HMDP increased, whereas corticosteroid administration improved the bone pain and reduced the diaphyseal uptake. In this case, pamidronate and corticosteroid produced different effects. Bone scintigraphy allowed an objective assessment of the response to these treatments, accurately reflecting clinical symptoms.

Abstract
Transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM) is associated with intra-uterine growth retardation, dehydration and a lack of insulin. Some TNDM patients exhibit paternal uniparental disomy (UPD) of chromosome 6q24, where at least two imprinted genes, HYMAI and ZAC, have so far been characterized. Here we show that the differentially methylated CpG island that partially overlaps mZac1 and mHymai at the syntenic mouse locus is a likely imprinting control region (ICR) for the approximately 120--200 kb domain. The region is unmethylated in sperm but probably methylated in oocytes, a difference that persists between parental alleles throughout pre- and post-implantation development. We also show that within this ICR, there is a region that exhibits a high degree of homology between mouse and human. Using a reporter expression assay, we demonstrate that this conserved region acts as a strong transcriptional repressor when methylated. Finally, we provide in vivo evidence that in the majority of TNDM patients with a normal karyotype, there is a loss of methylation within the highly homologous region. We propose that this ICR regulates expression of imprinted genes within the domain; epigenetic or genetic mutations of this region probably result in TNDM, possibly by affecting expression of ZAC in the pancreas and/or the pituitary.

Abstract
A 66-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of right hypochondralgia and fever after colonic polypectomy. Endoscopic examination revealed purulent bile excretion from the duodenal papilla orifice; based on this finding, acute suppurative cholangitis was diagnosed. An endoscopic retrograde cholangiography revealed no abnormality in the biliary tree. However, chronic cholestasis persisted, and endoscopic cholangiography performed 4 months later disclosed a beaded appearance of the intrahepatic bile ducts; this sign is a characteristic finding of sclerosing cholangitis. This is the first report of rapid progression of acute suppurative cholangitis to secondary sclerosing cholangitis sequentially followed-up by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antiplatelet agents have been widely used to reduce proteinuria and to prevent the progression of chronic glomerulonephritis or diabetic nephropathy to end-stage renal failure. Dipyridamole, one type of antiplatelet drug, inhibits the proliferation of glomerular mesangial cells (MCs). The effect of dilazep hydrochloride (dilazep) on these cells is still obscure. The effects of dilazep on cultured MC IL-6 secretion and proliferation were investigated in the present study. METHODS IL-6 secretion from MC induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were assessed using sandwich ELISA. LPS-induced MC proliferation was detected by 3H-thymidine incorporation and WST-1 assay (similar to MTT assay). RESULTS Incubation of MCs with various dosages of LPS (0, 1, 10, 50 and 100 ng/ml) induced IL-6 secretion in a dose-dependent manner. However, dilazep significantly inhibited this LPS-induced IL-6 secretion from MCs in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Dilazep also significantly inhibited MC proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSION It appears that these effects of dilazep may prevent progression of mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 is secreted as a latent form, which consists of its mature form and a latency-associated peptide (beta1-LAP) in either the presence or the absence of additional latent TGF-beta1-binding protein. We recently reported that three different missense mutations (R218H, R218C, and C225R) of beta1-LAP cause the Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED), an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hyperosteosis and sclerosis of the diaphysis of the long bones. Pulse-chase experiments using fibroblasts from CED patients and expression experiments of the mutant genes in an insect cell system suggest that these mutations disrupt the association of beta1-LAP and TGF-beta1 and the subsequent release of the mature TGF-beta1. Furthermore, the cell growth of fibroblasts from a CED patient and mutant gene-transfected fibroblasts was suppressed via TGF-beta1. The growth suppression observed was attenuated by neutralizing antibody to TGF-beta1 or by treatment of dexamethasone. On the other hand, the proliferation of human osteoblastic MG-63 cells was accelerated by coculture with CED fibroblasts. These data suggest that the domain-specific mutations of beta1-LAP result in a more facile activation of TGF-beta1, thus causing CED.
