Abstract
BACKGROUND There has been no previous report evaluating the long impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the clinical outcomes stratified by the initial management [conservative or aortic valve replacement (AVR)] strategies of severe aortic stenosis (AS). METHODS We analyzed 3815 patients with severe AS enrolled in the CURRENT AS registry. Patients with AF were defined as those having a history of AF when severe AS was found on the index echocardiography. The primary outcome measure was a composite of aortic valve-related death or hospitalization for heart failure. RESULTS The cumulative 5-year incidence of the primary outcome measure was significantly higher in patients with AF than in those without AF (44.2 % versus 33.2 %, HR 1.54, 95 % CI 1.35-1.76). After adjusting for confounders, the risk of AF relative to no AF remained significant (HR 1.34, 95 % CI 1.16-1.56). The magnitude of excess adjusted risk of AF for the primary outcome measure was greater in the initial AVR stratum (N = 1197, HR 1.95, 95 % CI 1.36-2.78) than in the conservative stratum (N = 2618, HR 1.26, 95 % CI 1.08-1.47) with a significant interaction (p = 0.04). In patients with AF, there was a significant excess adjusted risk of paroxysmal AF (N = 254) relative to chronic AF (N = 528) for the primary outcome measure (HR 1.34, 95 % CI 1.01-1.78). CONCLUSIONS In patients with severe AS, concomitant AF was independently associated with worse clinical outcomes regardless of the initial management strategies. In those patients with conservative strategy, paroxysmal AF is stronger risk factor than chronic AF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical significance of concomitant mitral regurgitation (MR) has not been well addressed in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS).Methods and Results:We analyzed 3,815 patients from a retrospective multicenter registry of severe AS in Japan (CURRENT AS registry). We compared the clinical outcomes between patients with moderate/severe MR and with none/mild MR according to the initial treatment strategy (initial aortic valve replacement [AVR] or conservative strategy). The primary outcome measure was a composite of aortic valve-related death or heart failure hospitalization. At baseline, moderate/severe MR was present in 227/1,197 (19%) patients with initial AVR strategy and in 536/2,618 (20%) patients with a conservative strategy. The crude cumulative 5-year incidence of the primary outcome measure was significantly higher in patients with moderate/severe MR than in those with none/mild MR, regardless of the initial treatment strategy (25.2% vs. 14.4%, P<0.001 in the initial AVR strategy, and 63.3% vs. 40.7%, P<0.001 in the conservative strategy). After adjusting confounders, moderate/severe MR was not independently associated with higher risk for the primary outcome measure in the initial AVR strategy (hazard ratio [HR] 1.11, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.67-1.83, P=0.69), and in the conservative strategy (HR 1.13, 95% CI 0.93-1.37, P=0.22). CONCLUSIONS Concomitant moderate/severe MR was not independently associated with higher risk for the primary outcome measure regardless of the initial treatment strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common comorbidity of aortic stenosis (AS), clinical evidence about the long-term effect of DM on patients with AS is insufficient.Methods and Results:Data were acquired from CURRENT AS, a large Japanese multicenter registry that enrolled 3,815 patients with severe AS. Patients without initial valve replacement were defined as the conservative group; among them, 621 (23.4%) had DM, whereas 1997 did not. The DM group was further divided into 2 groups according to insulin treatment (insulin-treated DM, n=130; non-insulin treated DM, n=491). The primary outcome was a composite of aortic valve (AV)-related death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Secondary outcomes were AV-related death, HF hospitalization, all-cause death, cardiovascular death, sudden death, and surgical or transcatheter AV replacement during follow up. As a result, DM was associated with higher risk for the primary outcome (52.8% vs. 42.9%, P<0.001), with a statistically significant adjusted hazard ratio (HR 1.33, 95% confidence interval: 1.14-1.56, P<0.001). All secondary outcomes were not significantly different between DM and non-DM patients after adjusting for confounding factors, except for HF hospitalization. Insulin use was not associated with higher incidence of primary or secondary outcome. CONCLUSIONS In initially conservatively managed patients with AS, DM was independently associated with higher risk for a composite of AV-related death or HF hospitalization; however, insulin use was not associated with poor outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS Early aortic valve replacement (AVR) might be beneficial in selected high-risk asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), considering their poor prognosis when managed conservatively. This study aimed to develop and validate a clinical scoring system to predict AS-related events within 1 year after diagnosis in asymptomatic severe AS patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed 1274 asymptomatic severe AS patients derived from a retrospective multicentre registry enrolling consecutive patients with severe AS in Japan (CURRENT AS registry), who were managed conservatively and completed 1-year follow-up without AVR. From a randomly assigned derivation set (N = 849), we developed CURRENT AS risk score for the AS-related event (a composite of AS-related death and heart failure hospitalization) within 1 year using a multivariable logistic regression model. The risk score comprised independent risk predictors including left ventricular ejection fraction <60%, haemoglobin ≤11.0 g/dL, chronic lung disease (2 points), diabetes mellitus, haemodialysis, and any concomitant valve disease (1 point). The predictive accuracy of the model was good with the area under the curve of 0.79 and 0.77 in the derivation and validation sets (N = 425). In the validation set, the 1-year incidence of AS-related events was much higher in patients with score ≥2 than in patients with score ≤1 (Score 0: 2.2%, Score 1: 1.9%, Score 2: 13.4%, Score 3: 14.3%, and Score ≥4: 22.7%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The CURRENT-AS risk score integrating clinical and echocardiographic factors well-predicted the risk of AS-related events at 1 year in asymptomatic patients with severe AS and was validated internally.

Abstract
Two randomized control trials demonstrated that transcatheter aortic valve implantation was associated with 1-2 year clinical outcomes comparable or even superior to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in low surgical risk patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). However, no previous study has reported the clinical outcomes after SAVR in Japanese patients with low surgical risk. From 3815 consecutive patients enrolled in the CURRENT AS registry, we retrieved 220 patients who underwent SAVR in reference to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the PARTNER 3 trial. Age and surgical risk score in the current study population were comparable to those in the PARTNER 3 trial (Age: 75 years versus 74 years, and STS-PROM score: 2.3 versus 1.9). The cumulative incidence of a composite all-cause death or stroke was comparable between the current study population and the SAVR patients in the PARTNER 3 trial both at 30-day (2.3% versus 3.3%), and at 1-year (4.1% versus 4.9%). The clinical outcomes of SAVR in low surgical risk patients with severe AS selected from a real world Japanese registry according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the PARTNER 3 trial was favorable and numerically comparable to those of SAVR patients in the PARTNER 3 trial.

Abstract
Background Data are scarce on the role of aortic valve area (AVA) to identify those patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) who are at high risk of adverse events. We sought to explore the prognostic impact of AVA in asymptomatic patients with severe AS in a large observational database. Methods and Results Among 3815 consecutive patients with severe AS enrolled in the CURRENT AS (Contemporary Outcomes After Surgery and Medical Treatment in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis) registry, the present study included 1309 conservatively managed asymptomatic patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%. The study patients were subdivided into 3 groups based on AVA (group 1: AVA >0.80 cm2, N=645; group 2: 0.8 cm2 ≥AVA >0.6 cm2, N=465; and group 3: AVA ≤0.6 cm2, N=199). The prevalence of very severe AS patients (peak aortic jet velocity ≥5 m/s or mean aortic pressure gradient ≥60 mm Hg) was 2.0%, 5.8%, and 26.1% in groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The cumulative 5‐year incidence of AVR was not different across the 3 groups (39.7%, 43.7%, and 39.9%; P=0.43). The cumulative 5‐year incidence of the primary outcome measure (a composite of aortic valve–related death or heart failure hospitalization) was incrementally higher with decreasing AVA (24.1%, 29.1%, and 48.1%; P<0.001). After adjusting for confounders, the excess risk of group 3 and group 2 relative to group 1 for the primary outcome measure remained significant (hazard ratio, 2.21, 95% CI, 1.56–3.11, P<0.001; and hazard ratio, 1.34, 95% CI, 1.01–1.78, P=0.04, respectively). Conclusions AVA ≤0.6 cm2 would be a useful marker to identify those high‐risk patients with asymptomatic severe AS, who might benefit from early AVR. Clinical Trial Registration URL: www.umin.ac.jp.

Abstract
Background Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is criticized by some as an expensive treatment in super-elder patients with limited life expectancy. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the magnitude of clinical benefit provided by TAVI in comparison with conservative management in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) in real clinical practice, which would be important in the decision making for TAVI. Methods We combined two independent registries, namely CURRENT AS and K-TAVI registries. CURRENT AS was a multicenter registry enrolling 3815 consecutive patients with severe AS irrespective to treatment modalities between January 2003 and December 2011. K-TAVI was a multicenter, prospective registry including 449 consecutive patients with severe AS, who underwent TAVI with SAPIEN XT balloon-expandable valves between October 2013 and June 2016. In these 2 registries, 449 patients received TAVI and 894 patients were managed with conservative strategy. We conducted propensity score matching and finally obtained a cohort of 556 patients (278 patients for each group) for the analysis. The primary outcome measures were all-cause death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization at 2-year. Results The cumulative 2-year incidences of all-cause death and HF hospitalization were significantly lower in the TAVI group than in the conservative group (16.8% versus 36.6%, P<0.001, and 10.7% versus 37.2%, P<0.001). After adjusting the residual confounders, TAVI reduced the risks of all-cause death (HR, 0.46; 95%CI, 0.32–0.69; P = 0.0001) and HF hospitalizations (HR, 0.25; 95%CI, 0.16–0.40; P<0.0001) compared with conservative strategy. There was no difference in the cumulative incidence of non-cardiovascular death between the 2 groups. Conclusions TAVI in the early Japanese experience was associated with striking risk reduction for all-cause death as well as HF hospitalization as compared with the historical cohort of patients with severe AS who were managed conservatively just before introduction of TAVI in Japan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There has not been a previous report on the long-term outcomes of those patients who refuse aortic valve replacement (AVR) despite physicians' recommendations.Methods and Results:Among 3,815 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) enrolled in the CURRENT AS registry, the study population comprised 2,005 symptomatic patients, who were subdivided into 3 groups by their treatment strategy and the reasons for conservative strategy (Initial AVR group: n=905; Patient rejection group: n=256; Physician judgment group, n=844). The primary outcome measure was a composite of aortic valve-related death and heart failure hospitalization. Patients in the patient rejection group as compared with those in the physician judgment group were younger, and had less comorbidities, and lower surgical risk scores. The cumulative 5-year incidence of the primary outcome measure in the patient rejection group was markedly higher than that in the initial AVR group, and was similar to that in the physician judgment group (60.7%, 19.0%, and 66.4%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Patient rejection was the reason for non-referral to AVR in nearly one-quarter of the symptomatic patients with severe AS who were managed conservatively. The dismal outcome in patients who refused AVR was similar to that in patients who were not referred to AVR based on physician judgment despite less comorbidities and lower surgical risk scores in the former than in the latter.

Abstract
Prognostic impact of anemia complicating severe aortic stenosis (AS) remains unclear. We assessed the impact of anemia on cardiovascular and bleeding outcomes in 3403 patients enrolled in the CURRENT AS registry. 835 patients (25%) had mild (hemoglobin 11.0–12.9 g/dl for men/11.0–11.9 g/dl for women) and 1282 patients (38%) had moderate/severe anemia (Hb ≤ 10.9 g/dl) at diagnosis of severe AS. Mild and moderate/severe anemia were associated with significantly increased risks relative to no anemia (hemoglobin ≥13.0 g/dl for men/≥12.0 g/dl for women) for the primary outcome measure (aortic valve-related death or heart failure hospitalization) in the entire population [hazard ratio (HR): 1.30; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07–1.57 and HR: 1.56; 95%CI: 1.31–1.87, respectively] and in the conservative management stratum (HR: 1.73; 95%CI: 1.40–2.13 and HR: 2.05; 95%CI: 1.69–2.47, respectively). Even in the initial aortic valve replacement stratum, moderate/severe anemia was associated with significantly increased risk for the primary outcome measure (HR: 2.12; 95%CI: 1.44–3.11). Moreover, moderate/severe anemia was associated with significantly increased risk for major bleeding while under conservative management (HR: 1.93; 95%CI: 1.21–3.06). These results warrant further study to explore whether better management of anemia would lead to improvement of clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to evaluate the prognostic impact of the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS), who were not referred for aortic valve replacement (AVR). METHODS We used data from a Japanese multicentre registry, the Contemporary outcomes after sURgery and medical tREatmeNT in patients with severe Aortic Stenosis Registry, which enrolled 3815 consecutive patients with severe AS. Of those, 387 asymptomatic patients who were not referred for AVR without left ventricular dysfunction and very severe AS were subdivided into four groups based on their BNP levels (BNP<100 pg/mL, n=201; 100≤BNP<200 pg/mL, n=94; 200≤BNP<300 pg/mL, n=42 and BNP>300 pg/mL, n=50). RESULTS The cumulative 5-year incidence of AS-related events (aortic valve-related death or heart failure hospitalisation) was incrementally higher with increasing BNP level (14.2%, 29.6%, 46.3% and 47.0%, p<0.001). After adjusting for confounders, the risk for AS-related events was incrementally greater with increasing BNP levels (HR: 1.97, 95% CI: 0.97 to 3.98, p=0.06; HR: 3.59, 95% CI: 1.55 to 8.32, p=0.03 and HR: 7.38, 95% CI: 3.21 to 16.9, p<0.001, respectively). Notably, asymptomatic patients with BNPlevels of <100 pg/mL had an event rate of only 2.1% at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS Increased BNP level was associated with a higher risk for AS-related adverse events in patients with asymptomatic severe AS with normal left ventricular ejection fraction who were not referred for AVR. Asymptomatic patients with BNP levels of <100 pg/mL had relatively low event rate, who might be safely followed with watchful waiting strategy. TRAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000012140.

Abstract
It is unknown how much different are the clinical outcomes between asymptomatic and symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). In the CURRENT AS registry enrolling 3,815 consecutive patients with severe AS, we compared the long-term outcomes between 1808 asymptomatic and 1215 symptomatic patients (exertional dyspnea: N = 813, syncope: N = 136, and angina: N = 266) without heart failure (HF) hospitalization. Symptomatic patients had greater AS severity, and more depressed left ventricular function than asymptomatic patients without much difference in other baseline characteristics. During a median follow-up of 3.2 years, aortic valve replacement (AVR) was performed in 62% of symptomatic patients, and 38% of asymptomatic patients. The cumulative 5-year incidences for the primary outcome measure (a composite of aortic valve-related death or HF hospitalization) was higher in symptomatic patients than in asymptomatic patients (32.3% versus 27.6%, P < 0.001). After adjusting for AVR and other variables, the greater risk of symptomatic relative to asymptomatic patients for the primary outcome measure was significant (hazard ratio 1.64, 95% confidence interval 1.41-1.96, P < 0.001). In conclusions, the excess risk of symptomatic relative to asymptomatic patients with severe AS for the aortic valve-related event was significant. However, the prevalence of AVR in symptomatic patients was not optimal.

Abstract
Aim To investigate the effect of malignancy on the outcomes of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and the management strategy for AS with malignancy. Methods and results Using data of 3815 patients with severe AS in a retrospective multicentre registry [CURRENT AS (Contemporary outcomes after sURgery and medical tREatmeNT in patients with severe Aortic Stenosis) registry], we compared 3-year clinical outcomes among three groups based on malignancy status: with malignancy currently under treatment including best supportive care (malignancy group), with a history of malignancy without any current treatment (past history group), or without history of malignancy (no malignancy group). Patients in the malignancy group (n = 124) were more often men and had higher prevalence of low body mass index, recurrence of malignancy, anaemia, and asymptomatic status, despite comparable surgical risks and echocardiographic parameters. The malignancy group or the past history group (n = 389) had significantly higher risk for all-cause death [hazard ratio (HR) 2.49, 95% CI (95% confidence interval) 1.98-3.14; HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.04-1.46] and for malignancy-related death (HR 16.2, 95% CI 10.64-24.54; HR 3.66, 95% CI 2.43-5.52) than that of the no malignancy group (n = 3302). The excess risk for aortic valve-related death was not observed in the malignancy group (HR 0.79, 95% CI 0.48-1.29) and was lower in the past history group (HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.53-0.96). In the malignancy group, the treatment strategy (surgery: n = 16, conservative management: n = 108) was determined based on the clinical status of AS or life expectancy. Conclusions Malignancy had marked effect on all-cause death and malignancy-related death in patients with severe AS. History of malignancy also had a smaller but significant effect on mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data on the sex differences in the prevalence, clinical presentation, and prognosis of aortic stenosis (AS).Methods and Results:A total of 3,815 consecutive patients with severe AS were enrolled in the multicenter CURRENT AS registry between January 2003 and December 2011. The registry included 1,443 men (38%) and 2,372 women (62%). Women were much older than men (79±10 vs. 75±10 years, P<0.0001), and the ratio of women to men increased with age. The cumulative 5-year incidence of all-cause death was significantly higher in men than in women (47% vs. 41%, P=0.003), although women were more symptomatic and much older. The 5-year mortality was similar between men and women at age <65 years (16% vs. 15%, P=0.99), whereas it was significantly higher in men than in women at age ≥65 years (65-74 years, 38% vs. 19%, P<0.0001; 75-84 years, 55% vs. 34%, P<0.0001; ≥85 years: 82% vs. 72%, P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS A large Japanese multicenter registry of consecutive patients with severe AS included a much higher proportion of women than men, with the female:male sex ratio increasing with age. The 5-year mortality rate of women was lower than that of men. Lower 5-year mortality rates in women were consistently seen across all age groups >65 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited data regarding the risk stratification based on peak aortic jet velocity (Vmax) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). METHODS AND RESULTS Among 3815 consecutive patients with severe AS enrolled in the CURRENT AS (Contemporary Outcomes After Surgery and Medical Treatment in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis) registry, the study population consisted of 1075 conservatively managed patients with Vmax ≥4.0 m/s and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%. The study patients were subdivided into 3 groups based on Vmax (group 1, 4.0 ≤ Vmax <4.5 m/s, N=550; group 2, 4.5 ≤ Vmax <5 m/s, N=279; and group 3, Vmax ≥5 m/s, N=246). Cumulative 5-year incidence of AS-related events (aortic valve-related death or heart failure hospitalization) was incrementally higher with increasing Vmax (entire population; 38.0%, 49.4%, and 62.8%, P<0.001; symptomatic patients; 55.7%, 60.9%, and 72.2%, P=0.008; and asymptomatic patients; 29.4%, 38.9%, and 47.7%, P=0.005). After adjusting for confounders, the excess risk of group 2 and group 3 relative to group 1 for AS-related events remained significant (hazard ratio, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.07-1.81; P=0.02, and hazard ratio, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.17-2.00; P=0.002, respectively). The effect size of group 3 relative to group 1 for AS-related events in asymptomatic patients (N=479) was similar to that in symptomatic patients (N=596; hazard ratio, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.01-2.52; P=0.047, and hazard ratio, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.16-2.40, P=0.008, respectively), and there was no significant overall interaction between the symptomatic status and the effect of the Vmax categories on AS-related events (interaction, P=0.88). CONCLUSIONS In conservatively managed severe AS patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, increasing Vmax was associated with incrementally higher risk for AS-related events. However, the cumulative 5-year incidence of the AS-related events remained very high even in asymptomatic patients with less greater Vmax.

Abstract
Background—
There is considerable debate on the management of patients with low-gradient severe aortic stenosis (LG-AS), defined as aortic valve area <1 cm
2
with peak aortic jet velocity ≤4.0 m/s, and mean aortic pressure gradient ≤40 mm Hg.
Methods and Results—
In the CURRENT AS registry (Contemporary Outcomes After Surgery and Medical Treatment in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis), there were 2097 patients (initial aortic valve replacement [AVR] strategy: n=977, and conservative strategy: n=1120) with high-gradient severe aortic stenosis (HG-AS) and 1712 patients (initial AVR strategy: n=219, and conservative strategy: n=1493) with LG-AS. AVR was more frequently performed in HG-AS patients than in LG-AS patients (60% versus 28%) during the entire follow-up. In the comparison between the initial AVR and conservative groups, the propensity score–matched cohorts were developed in both HG-AS (n=887 for each group) and LG-AS (n=218 for each group) strata. The initial AVR strategy when compared with the conservative strategy was associated with markedly lower risk for a composite of aortic valve–related death or heart failure hospitalization in both HG-AS and LG-AS strata (hazard ratio, 0.30; 95% confidence interval, 0.25–0.37;
P
<0.001 and hazard ratio, 0.46; 95% confidence interval, 0.32–0.67;
P
<0.001, respectively). Among 1358 patients with LG-AS with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, the initial AVR strategy was associated with a better outcome than the conservative strategy (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.37; 95% confidence interval, 0.23–0.59;
P
<0.001).
Conclusions—
The initial AVR strategy was associated with better outcomes than the conservative strategy in both HG-AS and LG-AS patients, although AVR was less frequently performed in LG-AS patients than in HG-AS patients. The favorable effect of initial AVR strategy was also seen in patients with LG-AS with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current guidelines generally recommend watchful waiting until symptoms emerge for aortic valve replacement (AVR) in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). OBJECTIVES The study sought to compare the long-term outcomes of initial AVR versus conservative strategies following the diagnosis of asymptomatic severe AS. METHODS We used data from a large multicenter registry enrolling 3,815 consecutive patients with severe AS (peak aortic jet velocity >4.0 m/s, or mean aortic pressure gradient >40 mm Hg, or aortic valve area <1.0 cm(2)) between January 2003 and December 2011. Among 1,808 asymptomatic patients, the initial AVR and conservative strategies were chosen in 291 patients, and 1,517 patients, respectively. Median follow-up was 1,361 days with 90% follow-up rate at 2 years. The propensity score-matched cohort of 582 patients (n = 291 in each group) was developed as the main analysis set for the current report. RESULTS Baseline characteristics of the propensity score-matched cohort were largely comparable, except for the slightly younger age and the greater AS severity in the initial AVR group. In the conservative group, AVR was performed in 41% of patients during follow-up. The cumulative 5-year incidences of all-cause death and heart failure hospitalization were significantly lower in the initial AVR group than in the conservative group (15.4% vs. 26.4%, p = 0.009; 3.8% vs. 19.9%, p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The long-term outcome of asymptomatic patients with severe AS was dismal when managed conservatively in this real-world analysis and might be substantially improved by an initial AVR strategy.

Abstract
Background Adjunctive thrombus aspiration (TA) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was reported to promote better coronary and myocardial reperfusion. However, long-term mortality benefit of TA remains controversial. The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical impact of TA on long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary PCI. Methods and Results The CREDO-Kyoto AMI Registry is a large-scale cohort study of acute myocardial infarction patients undergoing coronary revascularization in 2005–2007 at 26 hospitals in Japan. Among 5429 patients enrolled in the registry, the current study population consisted of 3536 patients who arrived at the hospital within 12 hours after the symptom onset and underwent primary PCI. Clinical outcomes were compared between the 2 patient groups with or without TA. During primary PCI procedures, 2239 out of 3536 (63%) patients underwent TA (TA group). The cumulative 5-year incidence of all-cause death was significantly lower in the TA group than in the non-TA group (18.5% versus 23.9%, log-rank P<0.001). After adjusting for confounders, however, the risk for all-cause death in the TA group was not significantly lower than that in the non-TA group (hazard ratio: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.76 to 1.06, P=0.21). The adjusted risks for cardiac death, myocardial infarction, stroke, and target-lesion revascularization were also not significantly different between the 2 groups. Conclusions Adjunctive TA during primary PCI was not associated with better 5-year mortality in STEMI patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Japan Atherosclerosis Society's 2007 Guidelines for Prevention of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Diseases (JAS2007GL) advocate reducing LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) to target levels in patients with dyslipidemia, but achievement rates are frequently unsatisfactory even in the presence of lipid-lowering therapy. This multicenter, open-label, randomized, parallel-group study compared the efficacy of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin on JAS2007GL LDL-C goals in Japanese patients not achieving their target goal with atorvastatin treatment. METHODS The study involved 20 clinical institutes in Japan (Kishiwada Atherosclerosis Prevention Study [KAPS] Group). Patients with category II or III risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), or those with a history of CAD (secondary prevention), who had not achieved their JAS2007GL LDL-C goals during treatment with atorvastatin for at least 4 weeks were switched either to rosuvastatin 5 mg/day (from atorvastatin 10 mg/day) or rosuvastatin 10 mg/day (from atorvastatin 20 mg/day) (n = 75) or continued to receive atorvastatin (n = 77). The primary endpoint was achievement of LDL-C goals at 3 months. The main secondary endpoint was achievement of LDL-C goal + high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level <1.0 mg/L at 3 months. RESULTS Achievement rates for the primary endpoint were 49.3% in the rosuvastatin group and 31.7% in the atorvastatin group (P = 0.022). Achievement rates for the main secondary endpoint were 40.0% in the rosuvastatin group and 20.8% in the atorvastatin group (P = 0.010). Rosuvastatin and atorvastatin were both well tolerated in this study. CONCLUSIONS Rosuvastatin is a useful treatment option for Japanese patients who are not achieving their JAS2007GL LDL-C goal with atorvastatin.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of individual (IC) and group (GC) diet and exercise counseling in men with metabolic syndrome. Participants received exercise instruction and exercise load was monitored. IC participants received individual diet counseling sessions and general consultations at baseline and monthly. GC participants received a group diet counseling session at baseline and general consultations at baseline and monthly. In the IC group, body mass index (BMI) percent body fat, waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, and liver function levels were reduced significantly after 3 months, whereas in the GC group, waist circumference and levels of liver function were reduced. Exercise load was negatively correlated with change in BMI and waist circumference in the IC group, and positively correlated with changes in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in all subjects and in the GC group. Diet and exercise counseling, especially IC, may benefit patients with metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relation of symptom onset to balloon time and door to balloon time with long term clinical outcome in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) having primary percutaneous coronary intervention. DESIGN Observation of large cohort of patients with acute myocardial infarction. SETTING 26 tertiary hospitals in Japan. PARTICIPANTS 3391 patients with STEMI who had primary percutaneous coronary intervention within 24 hours of symptom onset. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Composite of death and congestive heart failure, compared by onset to balloon time and door to balloon time. RESULTS Compared with an onset to balloon time greater than 3 hours, a time of less than 3 hours was associated with a lower incidence of a composite of death and congestive heart failure (13.5% (123/964) v 19.2% (429/2427), P<0.001; relative risk reduction 29.7%). After adjustment for confounders, a short onset to balloon time was independently associated with a lower risk of the composite endpoint (adjusted hazard ratio 0.70, 95% confidence interval 0.56 to 0.88; P=0.002). However, no significant difference was found in the incidence of a composite of death and congestive heart failure between the two groups of patients with short (≤90 minutes) and long (>90 minutes) door to balloon time (16.7% (270/1671) v 18.4% (282/1720), P=0.54; relative risk reduction 9.2%). After adjustment for confounders, no significant difference was seen in the risk of the composite endpoint between the two groups of patients with short and long door to balloon time (adjusted hazard ratio: 0.98, 0.78 to 1.24: P=0.87). A door to balloon time of less than 90 minutes was associated with a lower incidence of a composite of death and congestive heart failure in patients who presented within 2 hours of symptom onset (11.9% (74/883) v 18.1% (147/655), P=0.01; relative risk reduction 34.3%) but not in patients who presented later (19.7% (196/788) v 18.7% (135/1065), P=0.44; -5.3%). Short door to balloon time was independently associated with a lower risk of a composite of death and congestive heart failure in patients with early presentation (adjusted hazard ratio 0.58, 0.38 to 0.87; P=0.009) but not in patients with delayed presentation (1.57, 1.12 to 2.18; P=0.008). A significant interaction was seen between door to balloon time and time to presentation (interaction P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS Short onset to balloon time was associated with better 3 year clinical outcome in patients with STEMI having primary percutaneous coronary intervention, whereas the benefit of short door to balloon time was limited to patients who presented early. Efforts to minimise onset to balloon time, including reduction of patient related delay, should be recommended to improve clinical outcome in STEMI patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Association of the type of statin and the achieved level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with cardiovascular outcome has not been fully elucidated. METHODS AND RESULTS The study included 14,866 patients who underwent a first coronary revascularization in 2005-2007. We identified 7,299 patients with statin therapy at discharge (so-called strong statins [atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, and pitavastatin]: 4,742 patients; standard statins [pravastatin, simvastatin, and fluvastatin]: 2,557 patients). Unadjusted 3-year incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE: composite of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction and stroke) was significantly lower (7.5% vs. 9.6%, P=0.0008) in the strong statin group, and there was a trend in adjusted risk of MACE favoring strong statins (hazard ratio [HR] 0.87, [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.73-1.04], P=0.13). Among 4,846 patients with follow-up LDL-C data available, outcomes were evaluated according to achieved LDL-C level (<80, 80-99 [reference], 100-119, ≥120 mg/dl). Compared with the reference group, the risk for MACE was significantly higher in the ≥120 mg/dl group (adjusted HR 1.74 [95%CI 1.11-2.71], P=0.01), although it was comparable in the 100-119 mg/dl group (adjusted HR 1.23 [95%CI 0.78-1.94], P=0.38) and in the <80 mg/dl group (adjusted HR 1.15 [95%CI 0.75-1.75], P=0.52). CONCLUSIONS Strong statin therapy was associated with a trend toward lower cardiovascular risk compared with standard statin therapy. When LDL-C <120 mg/dl was achieved, risks for cardiovascular events were comparable irrespective of achieved LDL-C level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) receptor 1 (LOX-1) and the soluble form of LOX-1 (sLOX-1) are novel target molecules for the diagnosis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS Expression of ox-LDL and LOX-1 proteins in human RA synovium was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. Human RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) were assessed for ox-LDL-induced expression of LOX-1 and ox-LDL-induced production of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) and MMP-3. Levels of sLOX-1 in the plasma and synovial fluid of patients with RA, compared with patients with osteoarthritis (OA), were determined by a specific chemiluminescence enzyme-linked immunoassay. In animal experiments, ox-LDL was injected into the knee joints of mice, with or without an anti-LOX-1 neutralizing antibody or sLOX-1, and the severity of arthritis was analyzed by histology and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Oxidized LDL and LOX-1 proteins were detected in the RA synovial tissue. Levels of MMP-1 and MMP-3 were enhanced by stimulation of RA FLS with ox-LDL, and the production of both MMPs was inhibited by blockade of the ox-LDL-LOX-1 interaction with the anti-LOX-1 neutralizing antibody or sLOX-1. Levels of sLOX-1 in the plasma and synovial fluid of RA patients were significantly higher than those in OA patients and healthy controls and were positively correlated with inflammation markers and the extent of RA disease activity. In the knees of mice, blockade of the ox-LDL-LOX-1 interaction suppressed arthritic changes and reduced the expression of MMP-3 induced by ox-LDL. CONCLUSION These findings strongly indicate that sLOX-1 is a novel biomarker that may be useful for the diagnosis of RA and for the evaluation of disease activity in RA. Furthermore, the results suggest that LOX-1 may be a potent therapeutic target for RA.

Abstract
We report the graft replacement for surgical repair of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) in 2 men, aged 19 and 30 years old, respectively. In both patients, the pressure gradients were higher than 20 mmHg across the coarctaion by cathetherization, and higher than 30 mmHg between the upper and lower limbs. The graft replacement of the coarctated aorta was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass. Postoperatively, the pressure gradients between the upper and lower limbs dropped below 20 mmHg in both cases. Since about 50% of surgically untreated patients with this disease may be expected to die before 30 years of age, repair of CoA in adults should be performed as soon as possible.

Abstract
Background Elevated circulating levels of soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (sLOX-1) have been observed in obese persons and are reduced by weight loss. However, it is not known if combining caloric restriction (CR) with exercise training is better in reducing sLOX-1 levels than CR alone. Objective We examined whether the addition of aerobic exercise to a weight loss intervention differentially affects sLOX-1 levels in 61 abdominally obese postmenopausal women randomly assigned to a CR only (n=22), CR + moderate-intensity exercise (n=22), or CR + vigorous-intensity exercise (n=17) intervention for 20 weeks. The caloric deficit was ~2,800 kcal/week for all groups. Results The intervention groups were similar at baseline with respect to body weight, body composition, lipids, and blood pressure. However, plasma sLOX-1 levels were higher in the CR only group (99.90 ± 8.23 pg/ml) compared to both the CR + moderate-intensity exercise (69.39 ± 8.23 pg/ml, p=0.01) and CR + vigorous-intensity exercise (72.83 ± 9.36 pg/ml, p=0.03) groups. All three interventions significantly reduced body weight (~14%), body fat, and waist and hip circumferences to a similar degree. These changes were accompanied by a 23% reduction in sLOX-1 levels overall (−19.00 ± 30.08 pg/ml, p<0.0001), which did not differ among intervention groups (p=0.13). Changes in body weight, body fat, and VO2 max were not correlated with changes in sLOX-1 levels. In multiple regression analyses in all women combined, baseline sLOX-1 levels (β = − 0.70 ± 0.06, p<0.0001), age (β = 0.92 ± 0.43, p=0.03) and baseline BMI (β = 1.88 ± 0.66, p=0.006) were independent predictors of the change in sLOX-1 with weight loss. Conclusions Weight loss interventions of equal energy deficit have similar effects on sLOX-1 levels in overweight and obese postmenopausal women, with the addition of aerobic exercise having no added benefit when performed in conjunction with CR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) appears to be involved in atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability and rupture. Circulating soluble LOX-1 (sLOX-1) levels are dramatically elevated in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and its diagnostic sensitivity and specificity is superior to high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). In this study, we have compared the diagnostic value of sLOX-1 for ACS with those of troponin T (TnT) and heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP). METHODS One hundred and seven patients who underwent coronary angiography (CAG), including 18 ACS and 89 non-ACS patients were enrolled. Peripheral blood samples were obtained during the emergent or elective CAG. The non-ACS group consisted of 30 patients with normal CAG, 30 stable angina pectoris patients controlled by medical treatment, and 29 patients with stable angina who required elective coronary revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft). RESULTS Age, gender, lipid profiles, or prevalence of diabetes, smoking, or hypertension were not significantly different between ACS and non-ACS. These factors did not significantly affect blood sLOX-1 levels. Circulating sLOX-1, TnT, and H-FABP levels were significantly higher in ACS than non-ACS. Area under the curve (AUC) values of the receiver-operating characteristic curves were 0.948, 0.704, and 0.691 for sLOX-1, TnT, and H-FABP, respectively. In a TnT-negative (<0.03 ng/mL) subgroup, the AUC values for sLOX-1 and H-FABP were 0.848 and 0.476, respectively. CONCLUSION Circulating sLOX-1 is a more sensitive and specific biomarker for ACS than TnT and H-FABP, and provides additional diagnostic values when measured in combination with TnT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) is implicated in atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability. It is shed, in part, by proteases and released as soluble LOX-1 (sLOX-1), which is a specific and sensitive biomarker of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The present study explored if sLOX-1 can also predict prognosis after ACS. METHODS AND RESULTS ACS patients undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention and measurement of circulating sLOX-1 were followed (median: 896 days). Among 94 patients, 13 had ACS recurrence or died (re-ACS/death group). None of age, sex, lipid profile or prevalence of diabetes, smoking or hypertension was significantly different between the re-ACS/death group and the event-free survival group. Circulating sLOX-1 levels, but not those of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) or troponin T (TnT), were significantly (P<0.005) higher in the re-ACS/death group than in the event-free survival group. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that ACS patients with sLOX-1 values in the highest quartile or tertile had more frequent and earlier ACS recurrence or death. Receiver-operating characteristic curves for prediction of re-ACS or death showed higher sensitivity and specificity for sLOX-1 (area under the curve for sLOX-1, hs-CRP and TnT: 0.764, 0.658 and 0.524, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Circulating sLOX-1, a diagnostic biomarker of ACS, also predicts ACS recurrence or death.

Abstract
We report a case of a 50-year-old man with intractable hypotension, which led to ischemic electrocardiogram (ECG) changes and myocardial injury due to relative myocardial ischemia as a result of a disulfiram-ethanol reaction. This is the first report that assessed cardiac function during hypotension and ischemic ECG changes by emergency coronary angiography, left ventriculography, and right heart catheterization. This case indicates that disulfiram potentially has fatal side effects due to a disulfiram-ethanol reaction.

Abstract
AIM Diagnostic values of soluble SR-PSOX/CXCL16 (sSR-PSOX/CXCL16), a receptor for atherogenic oxidized LDL and a membrane-anchored chemokine for CXCR6-positive lymphocytes, for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were evaluated.. METHODS We examined 106 patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG); 17 patients with ACS and 89 patients without ACS (non-ACS) including stable angina. Circulating sSR-SPOX/CXCL16 was measured in peripheral venous blood by sandwich ELISA. RESULTS Age, gender, prevalence of diabetes or hypertension, and serum lipid profiles were not significantly different between ACS and non-ACS. Presence or absence of risk factors, such as diabetes, smoking and hypertension, did not significantly affect circulating sSR-PSOX/CXCL16 levels. Circulating sSR-PSOX/CXCL16 levels were significantly lower in ACS than non-ACS (median: 3.05 versus 3.36 ng/mL, p<0.02). Lipid profiles, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), cardiac troponin T (TnT), and soluble LOX-1 (sLOX-1) showed no significant correlation with sSR-PSOX/CXCL16. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves for ACS detection indicate higher sensitivity and specificity for sSR-PSOX/CXCL16 than hs-CRP. In the TnT-negative and sLOX-1-negative subpopulation, sSR-PSOX/CXCL16 showed similar sensitivity and specificity for ACS; however, hs-CRP showed less sensitivity and specificity for ACS when compared with the whole population. CONCLUSION sSR-PSOX/CXCL16 is a biomarker for ACS, which would provide additional diagnostic information besides TnT and sLOX-1.

Abstract
Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1), expressed prominently in atherosclerotic lesions, is cleaved and released as a soluble LOX-1 (sLOX-1), which is a specific biomarker to diagnose acute coronary syndrome (ACS) at an early stage. Although sLOX-1 levels in patient's blood were successfully measured with our previously established enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the assay was not sensitive enough to detect normal serum levels of sLOX-1 in healthy human subjects. We therefore developed sensitive and specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against sLOX-1 in order to establish a more sensitive immunoassay. Mice were immunized with recombinant human LOX-1 extracellular domain. mAbs were subsequently generated by standard myeloma cell fusion techniques with a novel screening method using time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay. Using two anti-human sLOX-1 mAbs and alkaline phosphatase as a label, a sandwich chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) was developed. In total, nine mAbs were obtained. The dissociation constant (K(d)) values of these mAbs for sLOX-1 were 0.12-1.32 nM. Characteristics of these mAbs were estimated and the best combination for CLEIA was selected. The newly established CLEIA could determine sLOX-1 levels as low as 8 pg/mL, and thus, was sensitive enough to measure serum sLOX-1 levels in normal human subjects and to evaluate subtle differences. Values for sLOX-1 measured by monoclonal CLEIA and polyclonal ELISA were highly correlated (r(2)=0.7594, p<0.0001). Area under the curve values of the receiver-operating characteristic curves in detecting ACS were 0.948 and 0.978 for monoclonal CLEIA and polyclonal ELISA, respectively. Thus, a more sensitive sLOX-1 CLEIA was established using newly developed mAbs against sLOX-1. In addition to its advantage in early diagnosis of ACS, this assay may also be useful in predicting cardiovascular disease risk in disease-free subjects.

Abstract
Background—
Observational registries comparing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) have reported long-term survival results that are discordant with those of randomized trials.
Methods and Results—
We conducted a multicenter study in Japan enrolling consecutive patients undergoing first CABG or PCI between January 2000 and December 2002. Among 9877 patients enrolled, 5420 (PCI: 3712, CABG: 1708) had multivessel disease without left main involvement. Because age is an important determinant when choosing revascularization strategies, survival analysis was stratified by either age ≥75 or <75 years. Analyses were also performed in other relevant subgroups. Median follow-up interval was 1284 days with 95% follow-up rate at 2 years. At 3 years, unadjusted survival rates were 91.7% and 89.6% in the CABG and PCI groups, respectively (log rank
P
=0.26). After adjustment for baseline characteristics, survival outcome tended to be better after CABG (hazard ratio for death after PCI versus CABG [HR], 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.23 [0.99-1.53],
P
=0.06). Adjusted survival outcomes also tended to be better for CABG among elderly patients (HR [95%CI]: 1.37 [0.98-1.92]
P
=0.07), but not among nonelderly patients (HR [95% CI]: 1.09 [0.82-1.46],
P
=0.55). Unadjusted and adjusted survival outcome for CABG and PCI were not significantly different in any subgroups when elderly patients were excluded from analysis.
Conclusions—
In the CREDO-Kyoto registry, survival outcomes among patients <75 years of age were similar after PCI and CABG, a result that is consistent with those of randomized trials.

Abstract
We investigated the association between soluble lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (sLOX-1) levels and obesity in older women. Fifty-one postmenopausal women (10 lean, 22 overweight, and 19 obese) were included in this small retrospective analysis. Plasma sLOX-1 levels were measured using a chemiluminescent enzyme-linked immunoassay. Plasma levels of sLOX-1 were significantly higher in obese women (55.33 +/- 4.49 pg/ml) compared to lean (30.91 +/- 6.19 pg/ml, P = 0.002) and overweight women (38.31 +/- 4.18 pg/ml, P = 0.017). Plasma sLOX-1 levels were positively associated with body weight, BMI, total body fat, and trunk fat. The relationship between sLOX-1 and BMI was attenuated after adjustment for age, hormone replacement therapy, and body fat. In conclusion, obese women have higher sLOX-1 levels, which may reflect increased LOX-1 expression in adipose tissue.

Abstract
The lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1 (LOX-1) expressed on vascular cells plays a major role in atherogenesis by internalizing and degrading oxidized low-density lipoprotein. LOX-1 can be cleaved from the cell surface and released as soluble LOX-1 (sLOX-1), and elevated sLOX-1 levels may be indicative of atherosclerotic plaque instability. We examined associations between the LOX-1 gene 3'UTR-C/T and G501C polymorphisms and plasma sLOX-1 levels in 97 healthy older men and women. The frequencies for the 3'UTR-T and 501C alleles were 46 and 10%, respectively. Plasma sLOX-1 levels were significantly higher in the 3'UTR CC genotype group compared with both the CT (P=0.02) and TT genotype groups (P=0.002). Plasma sLOX-1 levels were also significantly higher in the 501GC genotype group compared with the GG genotype group (P=0.004). In univariate analyses, sLOX-1 levels were significantly associated with both the 3'UTR-C/T and G501C polymorphisms. These associations remained significant after adjusting for age, sex, race and body mass index. In conclusion, variation in the LOX-1 gene is associated with plasma sLOX-1 levels in older men and women.

Abstract
Lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) appears to play crucial roles in atherosclerotic plaque rupture. We previously reported that circulating soluble LOX-1 (sLOX-1) levels are elevated in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and that sLOX-1 can be a specific and sensitive biomarker for ACS. A proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 18 (IL-18) and its receptor are prominently expressed in atherosclerotic plaques. In addition, circulating IL-18 levels were reported to be high in ACS. In this study, we have examined if IL-18 can stimulate shedding of LOX-1 and subsequent release of sLOX-1. After transfection with LOX-1 cDNA, HEK-293T cells were incubated with or without IL-18. Cell-conditioned media and total cell lysates were subjected to immunoblot analyses with an anti-LOX-1 monoclonal antibody. In addition, ADAM10 cDNA, ADAM10 siRNA or control vector were also co-transfected into HEK-293T cells, and the cell-conditioned media and total cell lysates were subjected to LOX-1 immunoblotting after treatment with or without IL-18. The cell-conditioned medium/total cell lysate ratios in the amounts of LOX-1 or sLOX-1 were determined as sLOX-1 cleavage ratios. IL-18 (10-100ng/mL) stimulation increased the sLOX-1 cleavage by 3-4-fold in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. ADAM10 overexpression alone similarly enhanced the sLOX-1 cleavage. ADAM10 inhibition by ADAM10 siRNA transfection significantly suppressed IL-18-induced sLOX-1 cleavage. IL-18 similarly enhanced sLOX-1 cleavage in TNF-alpha-activated cultured endothelial cells, as well as LOX-1 transgenic mice in vivo. IL-18 appears one of the stimuli that enhance sLOX-1 release in ACS and ADAM10 may be involved in this process.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Remnant-like lipoprotein particles (RLPs) have been implicated in atherogenesis especially by diabetic dyslipidemia; however, their receptor(s) and effects on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) remain unclear. In this study, we examined if lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) acts as a receptor for RLPs and its biological effects in VSMCs. METHODS AND RESULTS RLPs were isolated from human plasma by immunoaffinity gel containing anti-apolipoprotein A-I and anti-apolipoprotein B-100 monoclonal antibodies. DiI-labeled RLPs were taken up by CHO-K1 cells stably expressing LOX-1 but not by wild-type CHO-K1 cells. RLPs induced LOX-1 expression and cell migration in bovine VSMCs (BVSMCs), which were significantly suppressed by transfection with LOX-1 specific siRNAs. Inhibitors of metalloproteinases, epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor tyrosine kinase, heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), MAPK kinase (MEK1) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) significantly blocked RLP-induced LOX-1 expression and cell migration of BVSMCs. CONCLUSIONS The present study provides direct evidence that LOX-1 is a novel receptor for RLPs in VSMCs. LOX-1-mediated uptake of RLPs may thus play important roles in atherogenesis by inducing LOX-1 expression and VSMC migration especially in the settings of postprandial hyperlipidemia, diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
A 43-year-old male lost consciousness immediately after archery practice, and was brought to our hospital by ambulance. Angiography showed dissecting aneurysms at the bases of the brachiocephalic artery and the left common carotid artery, causing compression of these arteries. Under cardiopulmonary bypass with selective cerebral perfusion, the blood supply to these arteries was restored with a bifurcated graft. Surgical specimen showed localized dissection of the aortic arch at the bifurcation to the brachiocephalic artery and the left common carotid artery, with the formation of dissecting aneurysms at the bases of both arteries. The aneurysms were filled with thrombi. In addition to these dissecting aneurysms, there were arterial dissections involving the brachiocephalic artery and the bilateral common carotid arteries. Histopathological examination of the vessel wall showed no evidence of atherosclerosis or vasculitis, and no abnormalities in the arrangement of elastic fibers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the pelvic circulation during endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) with a new monitoring system measuring penile and buttock blood flow. METHODS We measured penile brachial pressure index (PBI) during EVAR by pulse-volume-plethysmography (form PWV/ABItrade mark). We also measured bilateral gluteal tissue oxygen metabolism with near-infrared spectroscopy to provide a gluteal tissue oxygenation index (TOI). Twenty-two men who underwent aortouni-iliac stentgraft with crossover bypass for exclusion of abdominal aortic aneurysm were studied. Twelve patients underwent aorto-uni-common iliac artery stentgraft (CIA) and ten underwent aorto-uni-external iliac artery stentgraft (EIA). RESULTS In all patients, there was an immediate reduction in PBI during the EVAR procedure. After revascularization of the ipsilateral limb of the stent graft, the recovery of PBI was significantly less in EIA group. After the completion of crossover bypass, PBI in both groups recovered to the baseline values. In both groups there was a bilateral reduction in gluteal TOI during malperfusion of the internal iliac artery. After revascularization of ipsilateral limb of the stent graft, the ipsilateral TOI recovered to the baseline level in CIA patients, but recovery was incomplete in EIA patients. In contrast, contra-lateral TOI remained low in both groups after revascularization of ipsilateral limb of the stent graft. Only after completion of crossover bypass did the contra-lateral TOI recover to baseline level in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Both TOI at the buttocks and PBI are a sensitive reflection of pelvic haemodynamics. Penile blood flow and bilateral gluteal blood flow are supplied via different circulations and both should be monitored for full assessment of the pelvic circulation.
