Abstract
Acute zoster-associated pain develops in most patients with herpes zoster. Nonopioid analgesics are usually used to treat acute zoster-associated pain but are frequently ineffective. We administered intravenous fosphenytoin, the prodrug of phenytoin, to patients with acute zoster-associated pain to examine its analgesic efficacy and safety. At 13 medical institutions in Japan, we conducted a phase II, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial of intravenous fosphenytoin in Japanese inpatients with acute zoster-associated pain for whom nonopioid analgesics had shown an insufficient analgesic effect. The patients were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive a single intravenous dose of fosphenytoin at 18 mg/kg (high dose), a single intravenous dose of fosphenytoin at 12 mg/kg (low dose), or placebo. The primary endpoint was the mean change per hour (slope) in the numerical rating scale score from the baseline score until 120 min after dosing. Seventeen patients were randomly assigned to the low-dose fosphenytoin group (n = 6, median age 62.5 years, range 39-75 years), high-dose fosphenytoin group (n = 5, median age 69.0 years, range 22-75 years), and placebo group (n = 5, median age 52.0 years, range 38-72 years). One patient was excluded because of investigational drug dilution failure. This study was discontinued because of the influences of coronavirus disease 2019. The slope was significantly lower in the high- and low-dose fosphenytoin groups than in the placebo group (P < 0.001 and P = 0.016, respectively). Responsiveness to intravenous fosphenytoin (≥2-point reduction in the numerical rating scale score from baseline to 120 min after dosing) was inferred at plasma total phenytoin concentrations of 10-15 μg/mL. Treatment-emergent adverse events caused no safety concerns in the clinical setting and intravenous fosphenytoin was well tolerated. Intravenous fosphenytoin appears to be an effective and promising alternative treatment for acute zoster-associated pain. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04139330.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) inhalation may alleviate pulmonary inflammation caused by viral pneumonia. To investigate this, we evaluated its efficacy on COVID-19 pneumonia. METHODS This double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04642950) evaluated patients in the first half of 2021 at seven Japanese hospitals. Hospitalised patients with COVID-19 pneumonia with moderate hypoxaemia inhaled sargramostim or placebo for 5 days. The primary endpoint was days to achieve a ≥ 2-category improvement from baseline on a modified 7-category ordinal scale. Secondary endpoints included degree of oxygenation, defined by amount of oxygen supply, and serum CCL17 level. RESULTS Seventy-five patients were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive sargramostim or placebo, of which 47 and 23 were analysed, respectively. No difference was observed between groups regarding the primary endpoint (8.0 and 7.0 days for sargramostim and placebo, respectively) or in the secondary endpoints, except for CCL17. A post hoc sub-analysis indicated that endpoint assessments were influenced by concomitant corticosteroid therapy. When the cumulative corticosteroid dose was ≤500 mg during Days 1-5, recovery and oxygenation were faster in the sargramostim group than for placebo. Bolus dose corticosteroids were associated with temporarily impaired oxygenation and delayed clinical recovery. The increase in serum CCL17, a candidate prognostic factor, reflected improvement with sargramostim inhalation. The number of adverse events was similar between groups. Two serious adverse events were observed in the sargramostim group without causal relation. CONCLUSIONS Inhaled sargramostim was likely to be effective for COVID-19 pneumonia unless the concomitant corticosteroid dose was high.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the effect of IM administration of three sedative drugs, acepromazine, alfaxalone and dexmedetomidine, in combination with morphine, on the size of the feline spleen using ultrasonography. METHODS Twenty-four client-owned cats undergoing elective de-sexing or minor procedures were recruited for a focused ultrasonographic examination of the spleen prior to and at 10, 20 and 30 minutes following administration of one of three randomly assigned IM sedation protocols: 0.05 mg/kg acepromazine (ACE group), 3 mg/kg alfaxalone (ALF group), or 10 μg/kg dexmedetomidine (DEX group), in combination with 0.5 mg/kg morphine. B-mode images of the spleen were collected and measured following a standardised protocol. Cardiorespiratory parameters and sedation score were also recorded. Mean thickness of the head, body and tail of the spleen for each group at 10, 20 and 30 minutes after drug administration was compared to baseline. RESULTS Mean splenic thickness increased over time in the ACE group (thickness of body at T0 = 8.9 (SE 2.1) mm and at T30 = 10.5 (SE 2.0) mm; p = 0.001) and the ALF group (thickness of body at T0 = 8.8 (SE 1.0) mm and at T30 = 10.3 (SE 1.7) mm; p = 0.022) but not in the DEX group (thickness of body at T0 = 8.6 mm (1.2) and at T30 = 8.9 mm (0.6); p = 0.67). Mean arterial blood pressure in the DEX group was significantly higher than in the other groups (p = 0.002). Sedation scores in the DEX group were consistently high for the entire period. However, the sedation score in the ACE group increased over 30 minutes (p = 0.007). Sedation score in the ALF group was highest at 10 minutes but gradually decreased over the following 20 minutes (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Sedation with IM dexmedetomidine and morphine did not change splenic size, whereas acepromazine or alfaxalone and morphine increased it regardless of the degree of sedation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Where splenomegaly is identified in a cat sedated with acepromazine or alfaxalone, the effects of the sedation protocol could be considered as a possible cause.

Abstract
A rhizomatous Dioscorea crop 'Edo-dokoro' was described in old records of Japan, but its botanical identity has not been characterized. We found that Edo-dokoro is still produced by four farmers in Tohoku-machi of the Aomori prefecture, Japan. The rhizomes of Edo-dokoro are a delicacy to the local people and are sold in the markets. Morphological characters of Edo-dokoro suggest its hybrid origin between the two species, Dioscorea tokoro and Dioscorea tenuipes. Genome analysis revealed that Edo-dokoro likely originated by hybridization of a male D. tokoro to a female D. tenuipes, followed by a backcross with a male plant of D. tokoro. Edo-dokoro is a typical minor crop possibly maintained for more than 300 years but now almost forgotten by the public. We hypothesize that there are many such uncharacterized genetic heritages passed over generations by small-scale farmers that await serious scientific investigation for future use and improvement by using modern genomics information.

Abstract
BackgroundIn clinical practice for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the concept of “treat to target” has been introduced with an established goal of reducing glucocorticoid dose as much as possible while controlling disease activity. Although it has been shown that various personality characteristics of patients with SLE affect their disease activity and damage, it is not clear whether the personality characteristics of attending physicians affect the outcomes of patients with SLE. Grit is a personality trait characterized by perseverance and passion for achieving long-term goals.ObjectivesThis study aims to evaluate the relationship between attending physicians’ grit personality characteristics and treatment goal achievements in patients with SLE.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 386 patients with SLE in five referral hospitals in Japan. The main exposure was the “perseverance” and “consistency” (scores 1-5) of the attending physicians, as measured by the Short Grit Scale, and the primary outcome was the achievement of the Lupus Low Disease Activity Score (LLDAS). Considering the clustering of achievement of LLDAS by each attending physician, the association between attending physician’s personality and LLDAS was analyzed by logistic regression with cluster robust variance estimation. Odds ratios to assess the relationship between perseverance and consistency and LLDAS were estimated with adjustment for confounders (age, sex, disease duration, hydroxychloroquine use, immunosuppressant use, and Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics-Damage Index). We used multiple imputation to handle the uncertainty caused by missing values of potential confounders on the assumption of missing at random.ResultsThe median age of the patients was 45 years (interquartile range[IQR],36-56), 88% were female, and the median disease duration was 152 months(IQR, 80-240). Thirty-seven doctors were in charge of the patients (1-79 patients/each doctor). The median age of the attending physicians was 40 years (IQR, 35-43), and 19% were female. The median perseverance and consistency scores of attending physicians were 3.1 (IQR, 3.0-3.5) and 3.3 (IQR, 2.8-3.8), respectively. Of the enrolled patients, 154 (40%) had achieved LLDAS. The attending physicians with a lower consistency score of <3 were more frequent in the patients who achieved LLDAS (40% vs. 29%, p=0.026). The lower consistency score of attending physicians was still related to LLDAS independently (adjusted odds ratio 1.63, 95% confidential interval 1.17-2.27). There was no association between the achievement of LLDAS and perseverance.ConclusionThe grit personality characteristics of the attending physician may affect the achievement of treatment goals in patients with SLE.Disclosure of InterestsKEN-EI SADA Speakers bureau: I received speaker’s fees from Glaxo Smith Kline K.K., Grant/research support from: I received a research grant from Pfizer Inc., Yoshia Miyawaki: None declared, Kenta Shidahara: None declared, Shoichi Nawachi: None declared, Yu Katayama: None declared, Yosuke ASANO: None declared, Keigo Hayashi: None declared, Keiji Ohashi: None declared, Eri Katsuyama: None declared, Takayuki Katsuyama: None declared, Mariko Narazaki: None declared, Yoshinori Matsumoto: None declared, Nao Oguro: None declared, Yuichi Ishikawa: None declared, Natsuki Sakurai: None declared, Chiharu Hidekawa: None declared, Ryusuke Yoshimi: None declared, Takanori Ichikawa: None declared, Dai Kishida: None declared, Yasuhiro Shimojima: None declared, Noriaki Kurita: None declared, Nobuyuki Yajima: None declared

Abstract
BackgroundIt is well known that providing appropriate health information to patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has an advantage in the treatment decision making process. In modern information society the growing popularity of smartphones and social networking services, patients have more access to online health information. However, there are concerns that Internet use may inversely affect the shared decision making (SDM) process with their attending physicians if they receive inaccurate information.ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate how online information gathering behavior affects SDM with their attending physicians.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, information of 386 patients with SLE, which were enrolled from five Japanese institutions between June 2020 and August 2021, were analyzed. The main exposure was time spent on the Internet per day (excluding time used for working). It was divided into four categories (none, <1 hour, 1-2 hours, > 2 hours). Patients were asked to select the source of health care information they would like to access first and were categorized into physicians, the Internet, and other media sources (family and friends, healthcare professionals other than physicians, or TV and radio, etc.). Outcome was shared decision making measured via the 9-item Shared Decision Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q-9 [scores 0-100]). To assess the relationship between the time of Internet use and SDM, we fitted general linear models adjusted for age, gender, education level, household income, marital status, history of cancer, disease duration, and disease activity. Chained equations were used to impute missing values of covariates.ResultsThis study ultimately employed 334 patients whose mean age and female ratio were 45.3 years (standard deviation 13.8) and 87.7%, respectively. 68.9% of the patients indicated that they would like to access their physicians first, and 19.5% indicated that they would like to access the Internet first. Compared to patients who chose their physician as their first access to health information, there was no difference in SDM-Q-9 among patients who chose the Internet, but patients who chose other media had significantly lower SDM-Q-9 (-7.7 point, 95% confident interval [CI] -14.4 to -0.92, P=0.026). Besides, SDM-Q-9 scores were significantly lower in patients who did not use the Internet compared to those who used it for more than two hours except for their work activities (-9.6, 95%CI -18.9 to -0.26, P=0.044).ConclusionThe present study suggests that SDM between physicians and patients is positively rather than adversely associated with online information-gathering behavior. Rheumatologists also need to be aware that how patients prefer to access health information to establish a good physician-patient relationship for SDM. In addition, rheumatologists may need to introduce their patients to websites offering appropriate health information.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
BackgroundGenome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified 29 disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for systemic sclerosis (SSc) in non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) regions (1-7). While these GWASs have clarified genetic architectures of SSc, study subjects were mainly Caucasians limiting application of the findings to Asians.ObjectivesThe study was conducted to identify novel causal variants for SSc specific to Japanese subjects as well as those shared with European population. We also aimed to clarify mechanistic effects of the variants on pathogenesis of SSc.MethodsA total of 114,108 subjects comprising 1,499 cases and 112,609 controls were enrolled in the two-staged study leading to the ever-largest Asian GWAS for SSc. After applying a strict quality control both for genotype and samples, imputation was conducted using the reference panel of the phase 3v5 1,000 genome project data combined with a high-depth whole-genome sequence data of 3,256 Japanese subjects. We conducted logistic regression analyses and also combined the Japanese GWAS results with those of Europeans (6) by an inverse-variance fixed-effect model. Polygenicity and enrichment of functional annotations were evaluated by linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), Haploreg and IMPACT programs. We also constructed polygenic risk score (PRS) to predict SSc development.ResultsWe identified three (FCRLA-FCGR, TNFAIP3, PLD4) and four (EOMES, ESR1, SLC12A5, TPI1P2) novel loci in Japanese GWAS and a trans-population meta-analysis, respectively. One of Japanese novel risk SNPs, rs6697139, located within FCGR gene clusters had a strong effect size (OR 2.05, P=4.9×10-11). We also found the complete LD variant, rs10917688, was positioned in cis-regulatory element and binding motif for an immunomodulatory transcription factor IRF8 in B cells, another genome-wide significant locus in our trans-ethnic meta-analysis and the previous European GWAS. Notably, the association of risk allele of rs10917688 was significant only in the presence of the risk allele of the IRF8. Intriguingly, rs10917688 was annotated as one enhancer-related histone marks, H3K4me1, in B cells, implying that FCGR gene(s) in B cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SSc. Furhtermore, significant heritability enrichment of active histone marks and a transcription factor C-Myc were found in B cells both in European and Japanese populations by LDSC and IMPACT, highlighting a possibility of a shared disease mechanism where abnormal B-cell activation may be one of the key drivers for the disease development. Finally, PRS using effects sizes of European GWAS moderately fit in the development of Japanese SSc (AUC 0.593), paving a path to personalized medicine for SSc.ConclusionOur study identified seven novel susceptibility loci in SSc. Downstream analyses highlighted a novel disease mechanism of SSc where an interactive role of FCGR gene(s) and IRF8 may accelerate the disease development and B cells may play a key role on the pathogenesis of SSc.References[1]F.

Abstract
BackgroundInformation technology has expanded the gap in patient health literacy (HL), and HL has various implications on the trust in patient-doctor relationship. Previously, only functional HL, the ability to interpret health information through reading and writing skills, has been studied in patients with SLE (1).ObjectivesWe examined how trust in physicians is affected by the broader concept of HL, including communicative HL, the ability to extract health information from communication to use, and critical HL, the ability to discern and use such information (2).MethodsThis cross-sectional study enrolled 362 SLE patients at 5 sites between June 2020 and August 2021. Three domains of HL (i.e., functional HL, communicative HL, and critical HL) were assessed using the 14-item FCCHL scale (range: 1-4 points for each domain). The outcomes were patients’ trust in their physicians and physicians in general and were measured using the Japanese version of the 5-item Wake Forest Physician Trust scales (range: 0-100 points for each scale). General linear models adjusted for age, gender, education, income, SLEDAI, disease duration, depression, and hours of Internet use were conducted. Subsequently, a series of general linear models were then fit to each of the three domains of HL to examine whether or not it was associated with the aforementioned covariates.ResultsThe median age of the patients was 45 (interquartile range [IQR],34-55), 88% were female. The median value of SLEDAI was 4 ([IQR], 2-8), Trust in one’s physician was 80 ([IQR], 70-95) and trust in physicians generally was 65 ([IQR], 50-80). Trust in one’s physician increased with higher functional and communicative HL (per 1-pt increase, 3.2 [95%CI 0.7 to 5.9]; 5.4 [95%CI 1.6 to 9.3]). Trust in doctors generally increased with higher communicative HL and decreased with higher critical HL (per 1-pt increase, 6.8 [95% CI 2.0 to 12]; -6.7 [95% CI -12 to -1.9]). Lower functional HL was associated with older age and depression, while higher HL was associated with higher educational level. Higher communicative HL and critical HL were each associated with longer Internet use.ConclusionIn patients with SLE, higher trust in one’s physician was associated with both functional and communicative HL, while higher trust in physicians generally was associated with higher communicative HL and lower critical HL. Our findings suggest that trusting relationships may be fostered by the encouragement of rheumatologists to cultivate patients’ ability to share their health problems with their physicians and family members and to obtain useful health information (i.e., communicative HL), rather than to improve their ability to discern health information (i.e., critical HL).References[1]Maheswaranathan M, Cantrell S, Eudy AM, Rogers JL, Clowse MEB, Hastings SN, et al.

Abstract
The differential cross sections of the Σ^{-}p→Λn reaction were measured accurately for the Σ^{-} momentum (p_{Σ}) ranging from 470 to 650 MeV/c at the J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility. Precise angular information about the Σ^{-}p→Λn reaction was obtained for the first time by detecting approximately 100 reaction events at each angular step of Δcosθ=0.1. The obtained differential cross sections show a slightly forward-peaking structure in the measured momentum regions. The cross sections integrated for -0.7≤cosθ≤1.0 were obtained as 22.5±0.68 [statistical error(stat.)] ±0.65 [systematic error(syst.)] mb and 15.8±0.83(stat)±0.52(syst) mb for 470<p_{Σ}(MeV/c)<550 and 550<p_{Σ}(MeV/c)<650, respectively. These results show a drastic improvement compared with past measurements of the hyperon-proton scattering experiments. They will play essential roles in updating the theoretical models of the baryon-baryon interactions.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Youth with type 2 diabetes might have suboptimal peak bone mass, but it is unknown whether similar effects are evident in youth with prediabetes. Results from this study suggest that diabetes-related effects on peak bone mass likely occur before disease onset, and involve the muscle-bone unit. INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes might adversely influence bone health around the age of peak bone mass, but it is unknown whether diabetes-related effects on areal bone mineral density (aBMD) are evident in youth with prediabetes. We compared age-related trends in aBMD and associations between lean body mass (LBM) and aBMD between children and adolescents with prediabetes vs. normal glucose regulation. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2006) in youth ages 12-20 years (49% female, 34% black) with prediabetes (n = 267) and normal glucose regulation (n = 1664). Whole body aBMD and LBM were assessed via DXA. LBM index (LBMI) and Z-scores for aBMD and LBMI were computed. RESULTS Unadjusted between-group comparisons revealed greater mean weight and LBMI Z-scores in youth with prediabetes vs. normal glucose regulation, but similar bone Z-scores between the two groups. While accounting for differences in BMI Z-score, there was a significant interaction between prediabetes status and age with respect to whole body aBMD Z-score (P < 0.05), such that children with prediabetes tended to have increased aBMD but adolescents and young adults with prediabetes tended have lower aBMD. Furthermore, the positive association between LBMI and whole body aBMD was moderated in youth with prediabetes (P < 0.001), who had slightly lower whole body aBMD for a given LBMI (P = 0.068). Lumbar spine bone measures did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Type 2 diabetes-related threats to peak bone mass might occur prior to disease onset, therefore potentially impacting a considerable proportion of US youth.

Abstract
X-ray spectroscopy of hadronic atoms is a powerful method to study strong interaction between hadrons and nuclei. At J-PARC, we have conducted two experiments, J-PARC E07 and E03, for hadronic atoms with a doubly strange hyperon, Ξ−, aiming at the world-first detection of their X-rays. The first measurement is performed as a byproduct of J-PARC E07 experiment with the hybrid emulsion technique. The second one, J-PARC E03, is a dedicated experiment for detection of Ξ− Fe atom X rays. The preliminary results and the present status of E07 and E03 are shown in this article. Future prospects of Ξ−-atomic X-ray spectroscopy are also discussed. A new measurement has been proposed for detecting Ξ− C atom X rays, where a novel Ξ− tracking method will be applied to realize an improved signal to noise ratio.

Abstract
Ξ− atomic X-ray spectroscopy is one of the most useful methods for investigation of the Ξ-nucleus strong interaction. A serious problem in the measurement is the significant background coming from in-flight Ξ− decay. For the first Ξ− atomic X-ray spectroscopy experiment, a novel method of identifying stopped Ξ− events using nuclear emulsion was developed to reject background photons from in-flight Ξ− decay. We succeeded in reducing the background to 1/170 by this method employing coincidence measurements using the nuclear emulsion and X-ray detectors.

Abstract
A new hyperon-proton scattering experiment, dubbed J-PARC E40, was performed to measure differential cross sections of the Σ+p, Σ−p elastic scatterings and the Σ−p → Λn scattering by identifying a lot of Σ particles in the momentum ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 GeV/c produced by the π±p → K+Σ± reactions. We successfully measured the differential cross sections of these three channels with a drastically improved accuracy with a fine angular step. These new data will become important experimental constraints to improve the theories of the two-body baryon-baryon interactions. Following this success, we proposed a new experiment to measure the differential cross sections and spin observables by using a highly polarized Λ beam for providing quantitative information on the ΛN interaction. The results of three Σp channels and future prospects of the Λp scattering experiment are described.

Abstract
This study aimed to elucidate the role of the Sonic hedgehog (Shh)–Patched (Ptch)–Gli signaling pathway in maintaining dental epithelial and pulp stem/progenitor cells and regulating the function of odontoblasts. Doxycycline (dox)-inducible histone 2B (H2B)–green fluorescent protein (GFP) transgenic mice ingested dox at prenatal embryonic days 14.5 or 15.5 and their offspring were collected from postnatal day 1 (P1) to week 3 (P3W). Immunohistochemistry for Gli1, Ptch1, and Ptch2 andin situhybridization forShhandPtch1were conducted. Mandibular incisors of postnatal day 2 H2B-GFP transgenic and wild-type mice were cultivated in a nutrient medium with Shh antibody for 4 days and subsequently processed for immunohistochemistry for Sox2. In molars, dense H2B-GFP-label-retaining cells (H2B-GFP-LRCs) were densely distributed throughout the dental pulp during P1 to postnatal week 2 (P2W) and decreased in number by postnatal P3W, whereas the number of dense H2B-GFP-LRCs in the subodontoblastic layer increased in number at P2W. Gli1+and Pthc1+cells were distributed throughout the enamel organ and dental pulp, including the odontoblast and subodontoblastic layers.ShhmRNA was expressed in the inner enamel epithelium and shifted into odontoblasts after dentin deposition.Ptch1mRNA was expressed in the inner enamel epithelium and cuspal pulpal tissue on P1 and decreased in intensity from postnatal week 1 to P3W. In incisors, the apical bud contained H2B-GFP-LRCs, Gli1+cells, and Ptch1+cells. The addition of Shh antibody to explants induced a decrease in the number of Sox2+cells due to the increase in apoptotic cells in the apical bud. Thus, the Shh–Ptch–Gli signaling pathway plays a role in maintaining quiescent adult stem cells and regulating the function of odontoblasts.

Abstract
In an emulsion-counter hybrid experiment performed at J-PARC, a Ξ^{-} absorption event was observed which decayed into twin single-Λ hypernuclei. Kinematic calculations enabled a unique identification of the reaction process as Ξ^{-}+^{14}N→_{Λ}^{10}Be+_{Λ}^{5}He. For the binding energy of the Ξ^{-} hyperon in the Ξ^{-}-^{14}N system a value of 1.27±0.21 MeV was deduced. The energy level of Ξ^{-} is likely a nuclear 1p state which indicates a weak ΞN-ΛΛ coupling.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although rapid ventricular pacing (RVP) is commonly performed for preparation of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). It has been reported that multiple and / or prolonged RVP is associated with adverse clinical outcomes of TAVI. Retrograde Inoue-Balloon was designed for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) without RVP to prevent slip of balloon by way of central waist during biphasic inflation.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and feasibility of Retrograde Inoue-Balloon for TAVI preparation.
Methods
From December 2013 to December 2019, 427 consecutive patients who performed TAVI for severe aortic valve stenosis, were retrospectively enrolled in Iwate Medical University. Of them, 227 (53%) patients (mean age 83±5 years, male 41%), underwent retrograde BAV before prosthetic valve implantation, comprised this study population. Retrograde BAV procedures were divided into two groups; patients used Inoue-Balloon without RVP and those did conventional balloon with RVP. The primary endpoint was defined as combined adverse events of 30-day mortality, cerebral infarction, and critical complications after BAV (aortic dissection, aortic rupture and cardiopulmonary arrest). The secondary endpoint was set as prolonged hypotension after BAV.
Result
Inoue-Balloon (IB) and conventional balloon (CB) were used for 73 patients (32%) and 154 (68%) patients, respectively. Both balloons were succeeded to through and expand of aortic valve in all cases. In the CB group, cardiopulmonary arrest occurred in 2.0% after BAV, cerebral infarction was observed in 3.9%, and 30-day death in 3.3%. On the other hand, no major complications were observed except one aortic dissection in the IB group. In logistic regression analysis adjusted by sex and age, the incidence of combined adverse events was significantly lower in the IB group (OR 0.17, 95% CI 0.009–0.917, P=0.037). Furthermore, the IB group had significantly a lower incidence of prolonged hypotension following BAV compared with CB group (4.1% vs 19.5%, p=0.002).
Conclusion
Balloon aortic valvuloplasty using retrograde Inoue-balloon without rapid ventricular pacing is safe and feasible, and may improve clinical outcomes of TAVI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Previous studies demonstrated Takotsubo syndrome (TS) was easy provoked by earthquake disaster. However, a previous other regional report demonstrated TS was not increased after 2011 east Japan earthquake disaster. The purpose of this study was to clarify incidence of TS after the earthquake disaster in Iwate prefecture during long term period.
Method
Consecutive hospitalized TS patients were registered during 8 years between 2009 and 2016 in our medical university and five Iwate prefecture hospitals. Moreover, patients were divided into two groups, i.e., those with the inland and those with tsunami-stricken area groups. Prevalence of TS were calculated by standard incidence ratio (SIR) before and after the earthquake disaster. Moreover, long-term prognosis in the both groups was compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis.
Results
A total of 112 TS (male 25 and female 87) were registered from acute coronary syndrome registry in each hospital (n=4,163). Averaged age was 75.3 year-old. A total number of TS just after the two months of the earthquake (March and April 2011) was nine and significance monthly variation was observed comparing with the other months (p=0.029). SIR before and after the disaster is as following Figure. There were no significant differences for long-term prognosis between the two groups (p=0.20).
Conclusion
Incidence of TS was increased in acute phase after east Japan earthquake disaster. However, significance increases were maintained during long-term period, although number of TS was decreased after acute phase. TS is increased not only acute but also chronic phase after the serious earthquake disaster.

Abstract
We present an experimental study of the Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) of 29Si nuclei in silicon crystals of natural abundance doped with As in the temperature range 0.1-1 K and in a strong magnetic field of 4.6 T. This ensures a very high degree of electron spin polarization, extremely slow nuclear relaxation and optimal conditions for realization of Overhauser and resolved solid effects. We found that the solid effect DNP leads to the appearance of a pattern of holes and peaks in the ESR line, separated by the super-hyperfine interaction between the donor electron and 29Si nuclei closest to the donor. On the contrary, the Overhauser effect DNP mainly affects the remote 29Si nuclei having the weakest interaction with the donor electron. This leads to the appearance of a very narrow (≈3 mG wide) hole in the ESR line. We studied relaxation of the holes after burning, which is caused by the nuclear spin diffusion. Analyzing the dynamics of the hole in the spectrum with a simple one-dimensional diffusion model leads to a value of the diffusion coefficient D = 8(3) × 10-9 G2 s-1. Our data indicate that the spin diffusion is not completely prevented even in the frozen core near the donors. The emergence of the narrow hole after the Overhauser DNP may be explained by a partial "softening" of the frozen core caused by decoupling of the donor electron and remote 29Si nuclei.

Abstract
Fractures are medical conditions that compromise the athletic potential of horses and/or the safety of jockeys. Therefore, the reduction of fracture risk is an important horse and human welfare issue. The present study used molecular genetic approaches to determine the effect of genetic risk for fracture at four candidate SNPs spanning the myostatin (MSTN) gene on horse chromosome 18. Among the 3706 Japanese Thoroughbred racehorses, 1089 (29.4%) had experienced fractures in their athletic life, indicating the common occurrence of this injury in Thoroughbreds. In the case/control association study, fractures of the carpus (carpal bones and distal radius) were statistically associated with g.65809482T/C (P = 1.17 x 10-8 ), g.65868604G/T (P = 2.66 x 10-9 ), and g.66493737C/T (P = 6.41 x 10-8 ). In the retrospective cohort study using 1710 racehorses born in 2000, the relative risk (RR) was highest for male horses at g.65868604G/T, based on the dominant allele risk model (RR = 2.251, 95% confidence interval 1.407-3.604, P = 0.00041), and for female horses at g.65868604G/T, based on the recessive allele risk model (RR = 2.313, 95% confidence interval 1.380-3.877, P = 0.00163). Considering the association of these SNPs with racing performance traits such as speed, these genotypes may affect the occurrence of carpus fractures in Japanese Thoroughbred racehorses as a consequence of the non-genetic influence of the genotype on the distance and/or intensity of racing and training. The genetic information presented here may contribute to the development of strategic training programs and racing plans for racehorses that improve their health and welfare.

Abstract
Objectives. Although deuterium oxide (D2O) has preservative property on the extracted organ, whether D2O also protects the in situ myocardial injury remains unknown. Using cardiac microdialysis, local administration of D2O through dialysis probe was applied in situ rat heart. We examined the effect of the D2O on the myocardial injury induced ischemia, reperfusion, and chemical hypoxia. Methodology. We measured dialysate myoglobin levels during 30 min of coronary occlusion and reperfusion in the absence and presence of D2O. Furthermore, to confirm the effect of D2O on NaCN induced myocardial injury, we measured the dialysate myoglobin levels with local perfusion of NaCN in the absence and presence of D2O. Results. The dialysate myoglobin levels increased from 177 ± 45 ng/mL at baseline to 3030 ± 1523 ng/mL during 15-30 min of coronary occlusion and further increased to 8588 ± 1684ng/mL at 0-15 min of reperfusion. The dialysate myoglobin levels with 60 min local perfusion of NaCN increased to 1214 ± 279 ng/mL. D2O attenuated myocardial myoglobin release during 15-30 min of coronary occlusion and 0-30 min of reperfusion and 15-60 min of local perfusion of NaCN. Conclusions. D2O might have a beneficial effect of myocardium against ischemia, reperfusion and chemical hypoxia.

Abstract
Little is known about the anti-pigmenting effects of whitening agents on solar lentigos (SLs), which comprise ~ 60% of hyperpigmented facial lesions of Asian subjects. Lotions with or without 6% L-ascorbate-2-phosphate trisodium salt (APS) [test lotion (TL) and placebo lotion (PL), respectively] were applied twice daily for 24 weeks in a double-blind half-face study of 27 Japanese females with SLs on both sides of their faces. Pigmentation scores were evaluated using a photo-scale and the skin colors were assessed using a color difference meter and a mexameter for SLs and the non-lesional surrounding skin (NLS). Although the pigmentation scores were not significantly different between the TL and PL-treated SLs after 24 weeks, the L values of TL-treated SLs and NLS increased significantly with a significantly higher △L value in SLs than in NLS. In contrast, the L values of PL-treated SLs and NLS remained unchanged after the treatment. The number of subjects with > 2.0 △L was 7 of 27 (TL) and 0 of 27 (PL) in SLs and 3 of 27 (TL) and 0 of 27 (PS) in NLS. In contrast, the melanin index in TL-treated SLs and NLS significantly decreased with a significantly higher △melanin index in SLs than in NLS. Similarly, the melanin index of PL-treated SLs and NLS were significantly decreased with a significantly higher △melanin index in SLs than in NLS. These findings strongly indicate that APS has a weak but significant anti-pigmenting effect on SLs and a significant whitening effect even on normally pigmented healthy skin.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether the presence of intact cumulus cells during the preincubation period for ICSI should be considered as a critical factor in fertilization and embryonic development. METHODS The cohort of this prospective randomized study was limited to infertile women younger than 39 years of age who underwent controlled ovarian stimulation for ICSI between October 2013 and May 2015 and whose embryos were to be incubated until day 5. Women with estradiol levels of <2000 pmol/L on the day of HCG injection were excluded. Cumulus cells were removed immediately after OPU in Group A and at 120 minutes after OPU in Group B. ICSI was performed with all mature oocytes, and fertilized oocytes were cultured to the blastocyst stage. Maturation, fertilization, blastocyst, good quality blastocyst, pregnancy, live birth, and miscarriage rates were compared. RESULTS There were no significant differences in maturation, fertilization, blastocyst, pregnancy, live birth, or miscarriage rates between Groups A and B. However, the percentage of good quality blastocysts was significantly higher in Group B than Group A (52.0% vs 33.1%). CONCLUSIONS Intact cumulus cells should be maintained during the preincubation period, as they are important to embryonic development after fertilization.

Abstract
The accumulation and behavior of impurities is one of the most important subjects in the development of magnetically confined fusion reactors because impurities can potentially cause cooling and worsen the confinement of the hot core plasma. Tracer-encapsulated solid pellets (TESPELs) have demonstrated some results for impurity injection for fusion-reactor plasma studies [N. Tamura et al., J. Phys. Conf. Ser. 823, 012003 (2017)]. However, the TESPEL technique has several shortcomings, for example, the penetration depth and the amounts of tracer impurities. In the present study, we have developed a tracer-containing, compact-toroid (TCCT) injection system that utilizes a magnetized coaxial plasma gun (MCPG). The discharge current through the MCPG sputters and ionizes the electrode material, and the Lorenz self-force accelerates it as a plasmoid. The MCPG easily accelerates a magnetized plasmoid to speeds greater than the ion thermal velocity of several tens of kilometers per second. The accelerated and ejected plasmoid that contains the tracer ions is itself a warm, ionized plasma. Therefore, a TCCT can potentially be injected into the core region of a target plasma with less adverse effect.

Abstract
Preferential attention to living creatures is believed to be an intrinsic capacity of the visual system of several species, with perception of biological motion often studied and, in humans, it correlates with social cognitive performance. Although domestic dogs are exceptionally attentive to human social cues, it is unknown whether their sociability is associated with sensitivity to conspecific and heterospecific biological motion cues of different social relevance. We recorded video clips of point-light displays depicting a human or dog walking in either frontal or lateral view. In a preferential looking paradigm, dogs spontaneously viewed 16 paired point-light displays showing combinations of normal/inverted (control condition), human/dog and frontal/lateral views. Overall, dogs looked significantly longer at frontal human point-light display versus the inverted control, probably due to its clearer social/biological relevance. Dogs' sociability, assessed through owner-completed questionnaires, further revealed that low-sociability dogs preferred the lateral point-light display view, whereas high-sociability dogs preferred the frontal view. Clearly, dogs can recognize biological motion, but their preference is influenced by their sociability and the stimulus salience, implying biological motion perception may reflect aspects of dogs' social cognition.

Abstract
UNLABELLED This study compared spinal alignment, muscular strength, and quality of life (QOL) between women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and healthy volunteers. The results indicated that lower QOL in osteoporosis patients may be associated with increased thoracic kyphosis, reduced lean muscle mass, and generalized muscle weakness. INTRODUCTION Increased spinal kyphosis is common in patients with osteoporosis and negatively impacts quality of life (QOL). Muscular strength is also important for QOL in patients with osteoporosis. However, spinal kyphosis and muscle weakness also occur in healthy individuals with advancing age. The purposes of this study were thus to compare spinal alignment, muscular strength, and QOL between women with postmenopausal osteoporosis and healthy volunteers. METHODS Participants comprised 236 female patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis (mean age, 68.7 years) and 93 healthy volunteer women (mean age, 71.0 years). Body mass index (BMI), angles of spinal kyphosis, back extensor strength, grip strength, and QOL were compared between groups. RESULTS BMI, back extensor strength, and grip strength were significantly higher in the volunteer group than in the osteoporosis group (p < 0.01). Both thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis were significantly greater in the osteoporosis group than in the volunteer group (p < 0.01). With regard to QOL, the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) subscale scores of role physical, bodily pain, general health, and role emotional were all significantly lower in the osteoporosis group than in the volunteer group (p < 0.05 each). SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) score was significantly lower in the osteoporosis group than in the volunteer group (p < 0.001). SF-36 PCS score correlated positively with thoracic kyphosis and negatively with BMI only in the osteoporosis group (p < 0.05 each). CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that lower QOL in osteoporosis patients may be associated with increased thoracic kyphosis, reduced lean muscle mass, and generalized muscle weakness.
