Abstract
A 22-year-old Vietnamese man was referred to our hospital owing to cough, dyspnea, and difficulty moving. The patient was diagnosed with community-acquired Panton-Valentine leukocidin-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia and necrotizing pneumonia. Treatment involved vancomycin (VCM) and meropenem, and the MRSA bacteremia improved. However, lung tissue destruction progressed. Therefore, linezolid was added to the VCM regimen, and this intervention led to the patient's recovery, and he was discharged from the hospital. Here, we report a case in which the patient was treated with a combination of two anti-MRSA drugs and was cured.

Abstract
We recently demonstrated that a single post-training administration of either melatonin, an MT1/MT2 melatonin receptor agonist ramelteon, or a brain melatonin metabolite N1-acetyl-5-methoxyquinuramine (AMK) enhanced object recognition memory. The present study aims to investigate the effects of melatonin, ramelteon, and AMK on relative phosphorylation levels of memory-related proteins in order to explore candidate signaling pathways associated with the receptor-mediated and nonreceptor-mediated memory-enhancing effects of melatonin. We first confirmed that post-training administration of either melatonin, ramelteon, or AMK at 1 mg/kg promoted long-term memory formation, using the novel object recognition task. Next, the effects of the same doses of these drugs on relative phosphorylation levels of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinases (CaMKs) in the hippocampus and the perirhinal cortex (PRC) were examined by western blot analysis. In the hippocampus, treatment with ramelteon or AMK significantly increased and decreased phosphorylation levels of ERK and cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) and those of CaMKIIα and β, respectively. In the PRC, phosphorylation levels of ERK and those of CaMKIIβ were significantly increased by both ramelteon and AMK and by ramelteon, respectively. Neither ramelteon nor AMK altered the phosphorylation levels of CaMKIV in either hippocampus or PRC. These results suggest that melatonin may be involved in promoting the formation of long-term object recognition memory in a similar, if not identical, manner by modulating the phosphorylation levels of memory-related proteins such as ERK, CaMKIIs, and CREB in both receptor-mediated and nonreceptor-mediated signaling pathways.

Abstract
The aging of patients with tuberculosis and better therapeutic management for them are recent concerns. This study aimed to identify risk factors for adverse drug reactions (ADRs) or death in very elderly patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and to assess the association between the dosage of antituberculosis drugs and outcomes. We conducted a multicenter retrospective study at two hospitals. Hospitalized patients (≥ 80 years old) with pulmonary tuberculosis who were treated with antituberculosis drugs were enrolled. Multivariate analysis was performed to assess factors associated with ADRs or death within 60 days after treatment initiation. In total, 632 patients were included. The primary endpoint occurred in 268 patients (190 ADRs and 78 deaths). A serum albumin level < 2.5 g/dL, respiratory failure, and dependent activities of daily living were independent risk factors for ADRs or death. However, a low dosage (< 8 mg/kg/day) of rifampicin was associated with a lower risk of the primary outcomes. Delayed time to negative sputum culture conversion was not observed in the lower dosage of rifampicin group. Very elderly hospitalized tuberculosis patients with the aforementioned risk factors should be carefully monitored to receive safer treatment. Rifampicin dosage reduction may be considered for very elderly tuberculosis patients to prevent ADRs/death.

Abstract
Prevention of dementia is important, because it is a leading cause of disability in elderly people. We previously reported that acute intraperitoneal treatment with N-acetyl-5-methoxy kynuramine (AMK), a melatonin (MEL) metabolite, enhanced long-term object recognition memory in ICR mice, a MEL deficient strain. Despite the presumable availability of AMK for dementia, its effects on cognitive performance have not been elucidated. It is unclear whether endogenous AMK is responsible for modulating long-term memory performance. To address this question, we assessed the effects of endogenous AMK on learning and memory using an object recognition test. C3H mice, a MEL-proficient strain, showed peak MEL levels at zeitgeber times (ZT) 19 and 22. Object recognition memory at ZT20 was superior to that at ZT8. Norharmane (NHM, 100 mg/kg), an indoleamine-2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor, prevented the transformation of MEL to AMK, thereby suppressing AMK synthesis at ZT20. NHM (100 mg/kg) and another IDO inhibitor, 1-methyl-L-tryptophan (1-MT, 100 mg/kg), disrupted elevated cognitive performance at ZT20. These data imply that endogenous AMK may play a physiological role in the modulation of cognitive function. We also investigated the effects of pharmacological doses of MEL and AMK on object recognition memory in young C3H mice. MEL administration of 0.1 mg/kg, but not 0.01 mg/kg, enhanced object recognition memory, whereas 0.01 and 1 mg/kg AMK enhanced object recognition memory. Administration of 0.1 and 1 mg/kg AMK also enhanced object recognition memory in old C3H mice. These findings in MEL-proficient mice should be confirmed in other learning and memory tests before encouraging the clinical use of AMK.

Abstract
Clinical trials are increasingly focused on pre-manifest and early Alzheimer's disease (AD). Accurately predicting clinical progressions from normal to MCI or from MCI to dementia/AD versus non-progression is challenging. Accurate identification of symptomatic progressors is important to avoid unnecessary treatment and improve trial efficiency. Due to large inter-individual variability, biomarker positivity and comorbidity information are often insufficient to identify those destined to have symptomatic progressions. Using only clinical variables, we aimed to predict clinical progressions, estimating probabilities of progressions with a small set of variables selected by machine learning approaches. This work updates our previous work that was applied to the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) Uniform Data Set Version 2 (V2), by using the most recent version (V3) with additional analyses. We generated a user-friendly conversion probability calculator which can be used for effectively pre-screening trial participants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity is associated with slower cognitive decline in old age. Type 2 diabetes (T2d) is a risk factor for dementia and cognitive decline. Physical activity protects against several T2d complications. Yet, little is known about the contribution of physical activity to cognitive health among the elderly with T2d. OBJECTIVES To examine the association between physical activity and cognitive decline in older adults with T2d. DESIGN This is a prospective longitudinal study using data from the Israel Diabetes and Cognitive Decline (IDCD) study. SETTING ICDC study (N=1,213), is a population-based cohort of adults over the age of 65, diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, who were cognitively normal at baseline and followed up every 18 months. PARTICIPANTS Participants with at least one follow-up assessment who were in the same physical activity group consistently and had complete demographic data. MEASUREMENTS Physical activity was measured using Minnesota Leisure Time Activity Questionnaire, cognitive functioning was measured using a broad neuropsychological assessment measuring Executive Functioning, Attention/Working Memory, Semantic Categorization and Episodic Memory. RESULTS Participants were classified into physical activity groups based on self-reported physical activity at baseline and all follow ups: "active" - participation in recreational physical activity (n=286); "non-active"- the only physical activity was walking from place to place (n=93) and "sedentary" (n=19). Linear mixed effects models were applied to adjust for key demographic and cardiovascular risk factors. Participants were 72.4 (SD 4.6) years old, had 13.3 (SD 3.6) years of education, and 163 (41%) were female. In the fully adjusted model, compared to the non-active group the active group had significantly slower rate of decline in Global Cognition (p=0.005), Executive Functioning (p=.014), and Attention/Working Memory (p=.01). There were no significant group differences for Semantic Categorization (p=.17) and Episodic Memory (p=.88). CONCLUSIONS Among initially cognitively normal and independent older adults with T2d, a physically active lifestyle was associated with a slower rate of cognitive decline. Future research should examine whether promoting physical activity may prevent or delay onset of dementia in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Several comorbidities, including cardiovascular diseases or myocardial injury, are reported to be associated with poor prognosis in patients with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, detailed prognostic analysis of myocardial injury by various biomarkers in COVID-19 patients is limited.
Purpose
This study aims to explore the prognostic values of high-sensitive Troponin I (hsTnI) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) for COVID-19 patients using Japanese real-world data.
Methods
The COVID-MI study is a retrospective cohort study that enrolls consecutive laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to the hospital from July 2020 to September 2021. We collected clinical data, including cardiac biomarker values, by chart review. If the prespecified biomarkers in concern were not available, we measured them using the institutional serum blood bank, which enrolled patients prospectively from July 2020. Patients with available biomarkers were analyzed according to the values of hsTnI or NT-proBNP, using the clinically relevant thresholds (hsTnI: 5 ng/L and 99th percentile of the upper reference limit [99%ile URL], and NT-proBNP: 125 pg/mL and 900 pg/mL). The primary outcome measure was all-cause death. Secondary outcome measures included acute respiratory distress syndrome, myocardial infarction, myocarditis/pericarditis, venous thromboembolism, cerebral infarction, and bleeding events.
Results
We enrolled 917 patients with COVID-19 confirmed by viral nucleic acid amplification test. The mean age was 61 years, and 591 patients (64%) were men. On admission, the number of patients classified as severe or critical COVID-19 was 515 (56%) and 85 (8.7%), respectively. Among the 544 patients with hsTnI values, 365 (67%) patients had elevated hsTnI of ≥5 ng/L, and 134 patients (25%) had TnI of ≥99%ile URL. Besides, among 546 patients with NT-proBNP values, 295 patients (54%) had elevated NT-pro-BNP of ≥125 pg/mL, and 93 patients (17%) had NT-proBNP of ≥900 pg/mL. The median follow-up period was 31 days (interquartile range: 11–90 days). In cumulative incidence analysis, higher levels of hsTnI and NT-proBNP were associated with significantly higher mortality (hsTnI: <5 ng/L group; 8.8%, 5 ng/L to 99%ile URL group; 19%, and ≥99%ile URL group; 37%, P<0.001, and NT-proBNP: <125 pg/mL group; 7.8%, 125 to 900 pg/mL group; 21%, and ≥900 pg/mL group; 45%, P<0.001). The adjusted risk for all-cause death remained significant for each threshold of cardiac biomarkers (hsTnI ≥99%ile URL: hazard ratio [HR] 1.98, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11–3.54, P=0.02, and NT-proBNP ≥900 pg/mL: HR 3.60, 95% CI 1.86–6.98, P<0.001).
Conclusion
Elevation of hsTnI or NT-proBNP was associated with poor prognosis in the current relatively severely ill COVID-19 patients. Measuring hsTnI or NT-proBNP can be an attractive option for risk stratification and deciding appropriate management in patients with COVID-19.

Background
Right ventricular (RV) lead placement into the interventricular septum is only accurate in 16–48% of cases under conventional fluoroscopic guidance. A previous report showed the importance of individualized left anterior oblique (LAO) projection to improve the success rate of RV lead placement into the interventricular septum. However, this procedure is complicated. We sought to investigate the preprocedural predictors of individualized LAO projection.
Methods
We assessed the relationship between preoperative electrocardiographic parameters and the angle of the interventricular septum obtained using thoracic computed tomography (CT).
Results
In the retrospective derivation cohort group (n=39), the mean angle of individualized LAO assessed by thoracic CT was 53.1±8.9°, and the preoperative electrocardiogram QRS axis was strongly correlated with the interventricular septum axis detected by thoracic CT (R2 = 0.490). In contrast, the preoperative electrocardiographic transitional zone was not associated with the interventricular septum axis (R2 = 0.041, P = 0.78). Using individual LAO projection derived from the preoperative electrocardiogram QRS axis, it was confirmed that the RV lead was placed in the interventricular septum during the pacemaker procedure in the prospective internal validation group (n=30). The success rate for placing the RV lead into the interventricular septum was significantly improved in the internal validation cohort group (93% vs. 64%, P < 0.05). In addition, the N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide level decreased significantly after surgery in the interventricular septal indwelling group.
Conclusions
Individualized LAO angle derived from the preoperative electrocardiogram QRS axis is a new useful and simple method for RV lead implantation into the interventricular septum.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is increasing in prevalence as a causative pathogen of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). However, reports on the clinical features and mortality risk factors for S. aureus CAP are limited. We therefore aimed to identify the clinical characteristics and risk factors for mortality in these patients. We performed a post hoc and multivariate analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study that included adult hospitalized patients with S. aureus CAP. To elucidate the features of S. aureus CAP, we comparatively analyzed pneumococcal CAP (PCAP). We analyzed 196 patients with S. aureus CAP and 198 patients with PCAP. S. aureus CAP had a 30-day mortality of 16% (31/196) and a higher frequency of factors such as advanced age, comorbidities, poor functional ability, altered mental status, hypoalbuminemia, hyponatremia/hypernatremia, acidemia, and hypoxemia. In the multivariate analysis, the significant risk factors for mortality in S. aureus CAP were PaO2/FiO2 ≤250 [adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 3.29; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.20-9.04] and albumin <3.0 g/dL (AOR, 2.41; 95% CI, 1.01-5.83). Non-ambulatory status tended to increase the risk (AOR, 2.40; 95% CI, 0.93-6.17). Methicillin resistance was not associated with mortality. In PCAP, hypoalbuminemia and non-ambulatory status affected mortality but hypoxemia did not. In conclusion, patients with S. aureus CAP have distinct clinical features, and their mortality risk factors can include hypoxemia and hypoalbuminemia. Physicians should recognize that the factors influencing mortality might differ somewhat among causative pathogens, and appropriate management should be performed after obtaining information on the causative pathogen.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Several studies in animal models have shown the safety and effectiveness of mesenchymal stem cell conditioned medium (MSC-CM) in inflammatory lesions involving muscles and joints. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this report, we retrospectively evaluated 16 patients who received local administration of the human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells conditioned medium (hAMSC-CM) for musculoskeletal chronic pain. Overall, 27 body locations expressing pain have been treated. The local administrated dose was 5 ml in the joint cavity and/or 2 ml in the other locations. The patients were asked to conduct self-evaluation of the degree of pain using a numeric rating scale (NRS) questionnaire and record the severity of pain before administration and at 15 min, 1 day, 1 week, and 4 weeks after administration. A second administration has been performed in 7 locations. The analysis was done considering two conditions: the "current pain status" and the "worst pain status in a week." RESULTS The results showed statistically significant differences between before and after administration at each time point for "current pain status" and at 1-week and 4-week time points for "worst pain status in a week" after first administration (Tukey-Kramer test). After second administration, significant differences were found at 1-week and 4-week time points for "current pain status". No serious adverse effect was found. CONCLUSIONS It was concluded that local administration of hAMSC-CM appears to be safe and could be expected to have effective therapeutic value against musculoskeletal chronic pain. Further studies are needed to clarify analgesic effects of hAMSC-CM and its underlying mechanism(s).

Abstract
Background Prediction of inpatients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) at high risk for severe adverse events (SAEs) requiring higher-intensity treatment is critical. However, evidence regarding prediction rules applicable to all patients with CAP including those with healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) is limited. The objective of this study is to develop and validate a new prediction system for SAEs in inpatients with CAP. Methods Logistic regression analysis was performed in 1334 inpatients of a prospective multicenter study to develop a multivariate model predicting SAEs (death, requirement of mechanical ventilation, and vasopressor support within 30 days after diagnosis). The developed ALL-COP-SCORE rule based on the multivariate model was validated in 643 inpatients in another prospective multicenter study. Results The ALL-COP SCORE rule included albumin (< 2 g/dL, 2 points; 2–3 g/dL, 1 point), white blood cell (< 4000 cells/μL, 3 points), chronic lung disease (1 point), confusion (2 points), PaO2/FIO2 ratio (< 200 mmHg, 3 points; 200–300 mmHg, 1 point), potassium (≥ 5.0 mEq/L, 2 points), arterial pH (< 7.35, 2 points), systolic blood pressure (< 90 mmHg, 2 points), PaCO2 (> 45 mmHg, 2 points), HCO3− (< 20 mmol/L, 1 point), respiratory rate (≥ 30 breaths/min, 1 point), pleural effusion (1 point), and extent of chest radiographical infiltration in unilateral lung (> 2/3, 2 points; 1/2–2/3, 1 point). Patients with 4–5, 6–7, and ≥ 8 points had 17%, 35%, and 52% increase in the probability of SAEs, respectively, whereas the probability of SAEs was 3% in patients with ≤ 3 points. The ALL-COP SCORE rule exhibited a higher area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (0.85) compared with the other predictive models, and an ALL-COP SCORE threshold of ≥ 4 points exhibited 92% sensitivity and 60% specificity. Conclusions ALL-COP SCORE rule can be useful to predict SAEs and aid in decision-making on treatment intensity for all inpatients with CAP including those with HCAP. Higher-intensity treatment should be considered in patients with CAP and an ALL-COP SCORE threshold of ≥ 4 points.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an essential outcome in Alzheimer's disease (AD) prevention trials and a compelling milestone for clinically meaningful change. Determining MCI, however, may be variable and subject to disagreement. Adjudication procedures may improve the reliability of these determinations. We report the performance of an adjudication committee for an AD prevention trial. METHODS The TOMMORROW prevention trial selected cognitively normal participants at increased genetic risk for AD and randomized them to low-dose pioglitazone or placebo treatment. When adjudication criteria were triggered, a participant's clinical information was randomly assigned to a three-member panel of a six-member independent adjudication committee. Determination of whether or not a participant reached MCI due to AD or AD dementia proceeded through up to three review stages - independent review, collaborative review, and full committee review - requiring a unanimous decision and ratification by the chair. RESULTS Of 3494 participants randomized, the committee adjudicated on 648 cases from 386 participants, resulting in 96 primary endpoint events. Most participants had cases that were adjudicated once (n = 235, 60.9%); the rest had cases that were adjudicated multiple times. Cases were evenly distributed among the eight possible three-member panels. Most adjudicated cases (485/648, 74.8%) were decided within the independent review (stage 1); 14.0% required broader collaborative review (stage 2), and 11.1% needed full committee discussion (stage 3). The primary endpoint event decision rate was 39/485 (8.0%) for stage 1, 29/91 (31.9%) for stage 2, and 28/72 (38.9%) for stage 3. Agreement between the primary event outcomes supported by investigators' clinical diagnoses and the decisions of the adjudication committee increased from 50% to approximately 93% (after around 100 cases) before settling at 80-90% for the remainder of the study. CONCLUSIONS The adjudication process was designed to provide independent, consistent determinations of the trial endpoints. These outcomes demonstrated the extent of uncertainty among trial investigators and agreement between adjudicators when the transition to MCI due to AD was prospectively assessed. These methods may inform clinical endpoint determination in future AD secondary prevention studies. Reliable, accurate assessment of clinical events is critical for prevention trials and may mean the difference between success and failure.

Abstract
An outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that began in Wuhan, China, has spread rapidly to many countries. We herein report four cases of COVID-19 confirmed in Japan among passengers of the cruise ship Diamond Princess and describe the clinical features, clinical course, and progression of chest computed tomographic images, chest radiographs, and treatment. Although these four patients had symptoms that included a fever, malaise, runny nose, and cough, one patient had no symptoms on admission. Two of the four patients needed mechanical ventilation due to respiratory deterioration. One of the patients who required mechanical ventilation was transferred to a higher-level medical institution. Except for that patient, the other three patients were able to return home under their own power. Every patient took lopinavir/ritonavir, which was considered the most effective treatment at the time. We used it after receiving approval from the ethics committee in our hospital. In this case report, we emphasize that some patients need to be carefully monitored, even if their respiratory condition is stable at the initial presentation, as their respiratory status may deteriorate rapidly within a few days after oxygen administration begins.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This report describes the efficacy and utility of recruiting older individuals by mail to participate in research on cognitive health and aging using Electronic Health Records (EHR). METHODS Individuals age 65 or older identified by EHR in the Mount Sinai Health System as likely to have Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) were sent a general recruitment letter (N=12,951). A comparison group of individuals with comparable age and matched for gender also received the letter (N=3,001). RESULTS Of the 15,952 individuals who received the mailing, 953 (6.0%) responded. 215 (1.3%) declined further contact. Overall rate of expression of interest was 4.6%. Of the 738 individuals who responded positively to further contact, 321 indicated preference for further contact by telephone. Follow-up of these individuals yielded 30 enrollments (0.2% of 15,952). No differences in response rate were noted between MCI and comparison groups, but the comparison group yielded higher enrollment. 6 individuals who were not the intended recipients of mailing but nevertheless contacted our study were also enrolled. CONCLUSIONS Mailings to individuals identified through a trusted source, such as a medical center from which they have received clinical care, may be a viable means of reaching individuals within this age group as this effort yielded a low rejection rate. However, EHR information did not enhance study enrollment. Implications for improving recruitment are discussed.

Abstract
Background A pneumatocele is a transient thin-walled lesion and rare complication in adult pneumonia. A variety of infectious pathogens have been reported in children with pneumatoceles. We report the first case of adult pneumonia with pneumatocele formation that is likely caused by Streptococcus pyogenes and coinfection with influenza A virus. Case presentation A 64-year-old Japanese man presented with a one-week history of fever, sore throat, and arthralgia. He was referred to our university hospital for respiratory distress. He required mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). Bacterial culture detected S. pyogenes in the bronchoscopic aspirates, which was not detected in blood. Although a rapid influenza antigen test was negative, an influenza A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test was positive. Therefore, he was diagnosed with coinfection of influenza A and group A streptococcus (GAS) pneumonia complicated by probable streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. A chest radiograph on admission showed diffuse patchy opacification and consolidation in the bilateral lung fields. Multiple thin-walled cysts appeared in both middle lung fields on computed tomography (CT). On the following day, the bilateral cysts had turned into a mass-like opacity. The patient died despite intensive care. An autopsy was performed. The pathology investigation revealed multiple hematomas formed by bleeding in pneumatoceles. Conclusions There have been no previous reports of a pneumatocele complicated by S. pyogenes in an adult patient coinfected with influenza A. Further molecular investigation revealed that the S. pyogenes isolate had the sequence type of emm3.

Abstract
AIM Aspergillus niger S17-5 produces two alkylitaconic acids, 9-hydroxyhexylitaconic acid (9-HHIA) and 10-hydroxyhexylitaconic acid (10-HHIA), which have cytotoxic and polymer building block properties. In this study, we characterized the production of 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA by addition of their expected precursor, caprylic acid, to a culture of A. niger S17-5, and demonstrated batch fermentation of 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA in a jar fermenter with DO-stat. METHODS AND RESULTS Production titres of 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA from 3% glucose in a flask after 25 days cultivation were 0·35 and 1·01 g l-1 respectively. Addition of 0·22 g l-1 of caprylic acid to a suspension of resting cells of A. niger S17-5 led to 32% enhancement of total 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA production compared to no addition. No enhancement of the production of 9-HHIA or 10-HHIA by the addition of oxaloacetic acid was observed. Addition of caprylic acid to the culture at mid-growth phase was more suitable for 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA production due to less cell growth inhibition by caprylic acid. DO-stat batch fermentation with 3% glucose and 14·4 g l-1 of caprylic acid in a 1·5 l jar fermenter resulted in the production titres of 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA being 0·48 and 1·54 g l-1 respectively after 10 days of cultivation. CONCLUSIONS Addition of caprylic acid to the culture of A. niger S17-5 enhances 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA production. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY These results suggest that 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA are synthesized with octanoyl-CoA derived from caprylic acid, and that the supply of octanoyl-CoA is a rate-limiting step in 9-HHIA and 10-HHIA production. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report regarding the fermentation of naturally occurring itaconic acid derivatives in a jar fermenter.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is a poor prognostic disease. Some causative genes were reported as the PAH-associated genes. However, the pathogenetic variants in PAH-associated genes have not been identified in majority of patients with idiopathic PAH.
Purpose
Our aim was to investigate the new causative gene variants associated with PAH.
Methods
We performed whole-exome sequencing in 272 patients with idiopathic/heritable PAH. Structural analysis simulation was performed to define how the candidate gene variant affected the structure of protein.
Results
We identified the heterozygous substitution change of c.226G>A (p.Gly76Ser, rs146436713) in tumor necrotic factor receptor superfamily 13B gene (TNFRSF13B) (NM_012452.2) in 6 (2.2%) patients with idiopathic/heritable PAH, although the allele frequency of this rare variant is 0% in Integrative Japanese Genome Variation Database (control population database). Two of the six cases were blood relatives, although they did not have the known causative gene variants of PAH. One of these two relatives died of right heart failure despite the combination medical therapy, and her pathological anatomy demonstrated intimal thickening and medial hypertrophy in the pulmonary arteries, formation of plexiform lesions (Heath-Edwards classification grade V). Time-lapse images from structural analysis simulation showed the instability of N-terminal in the protein, which regulates the vascular inflammation, synthesized from TNFRSF13B p.Gly76Ser variant (Figure), suggesting that p.Gly76Ser variant may be involved in the development of PAH via aberrant inflammation in pulmonary vessels.
Conclusions
TNFRSF13B p.Gly76Ser variant is a candidate of causative gene variant for PAH.

Abstract
Background Severe acute respiratory syndrome–related coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was found to be the causative microorganism of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which started to spread in Wuhan, China. This study was to evaluate the effectiveness of questionnaire, symptoms-based screening, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening of returnees from COVID-19-endemic areas on a chartered flight, to examine the proportion of infected persons and the proportion of asymptomatic persons among infected persons who returned from Wuhan. Methods A retrospective cohort study was done in 7 tertiary medical institutions in Japan. A total of 566 Japanese who returned from Wuhan participated in the study. Results Overall, 11 of the 566 passengers had a positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR result for pharyngeal swabs and 6 were asymptomatic. Only fever differed between SARS-CoV-2-positive and -negative individuals (P < .043). Six of the 11 PCR-positive individuals were asymptomatic; 4 remained positive on day 10, and 1 asymptomatic person tested positive up to day 27. Two of the 11 were negative on the first PCR test and positive on the second. Conclusions Our results will be important insights on screening returnees from locked-down cities, as well as providing important data on the proportion of asymptomatic individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2. A 13-day observation period and a second round of PCR may be effective to screen patients, including asymptomatic infections.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has emerged as an alternative to oral anticoagulation (OAC) for stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation and may be especially attractive in patients with high risk or a history of bleeding. However, data of clinical benefit and incidence of post-procedural bleeding in patients with both high risk of bleeding and ischemic cerebral stroke after LAAC are lacking.
Objectives
This study sought to identify predictors and the prognostic impact of post-LAAC bleeding in patients at high risk and/or history of bleeding in the direct oral anticoagulant therapy (DOAC) era.
Methods and results
We retrospectively enrolled a total of 195 patients (75 ± 8.7 years, 38% female, 47% with previous major bleeding, mean CHA2DS2-VASc score 4.3 ± 1.6 and mean HAS-BLED score 2.7 ± 1.1) undergoing endocardial (91%) or epicardial (9%) LAAC during a mean follow-up of 339 ± 319 days. Twenty-three (11.9%) patients developed procedure-unrelated bleeding events after a median of 147 (43, 362) days after LAAC, in 12/23 (52%) patients under single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT), 6/23 (26%) dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), 1/23 (4%) DOAC, 1/23 (4%) VKA, 2/23 (9%) dual therapy (SAPT and DOAC/VKA) and 1/23 (4%) triple therapy (DAPT and DOAC/VKA). (Figure) Diabetes mellitus and previous major bleeding were identified as the independent predictors of post-LAAC bleeding (Odds ratio 2.65 [95% CI:1.04-6.73], p = 0.041, and 5.50 [95% confidence interval:1.72-17.5], p = 0.004). Post-LAAC bleeding was associated with all-cause death (9/23 [39%] vs 18/171 [11%], p = 0.001), but not ischemic stroke/TIA (1/23 [4%] vs 6/171 [4%], p = 0.593) nor device thrombus (2/23 [9%] vs 3/171 [2%], p = 0.108). Kaplan-Meier curve estimated that patients with post-LAAC bleeding had a worse mortality than those without post-LAAC bleeding (3-year mortality; 35.6% [95%CI; 11.6-61.0%] vs 68.7% [45.0-83.8], p = 0.029)
Conclusions
In AF patients with high bleeding risk or history of bleeding undergoing LAAC, bleeding events are common and may occur even after long-term duration after LAAC. Previous major bleeding history strongly predicts subsequent bleeding events following LAAC and is associated with unfavorable mortality. Further investigations are required to identify optimal post-procedural antithrombotic strategies for patients undergoing LAAC with previous major bleeding.

Abstract
For the second time in the past 3 years, the EU-US CTAD Task Force addressed challenges related to designing clinical trials for agitation in dementia, which is one of the most disruptive aspects of the condition for both patients and caregivers. Six recommendations emerged from the Task Force meeting: 1 - Operationalizing agitation criteria established by the IPA; 2 - Combining clinician- and caregiver-derived outcomes as primary outcome measures; 3 - Using global ratings to define clinically meaningful effects and power studies; 4 - Improving the accuracy of caregiver reports by better training and education of caregivers; 5 - Employing emerging technologies to collect near real-time behavioral data; and 6 - Utilizing innovative trial designs and increasing the use of biomarkers to maximize the productivity of clinical trials for neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A variant of c.14429G>A (p.Arg4810Lys, rs112735431) in the ring finger protein 213 gene (RNF213; NM_001256071.2) has been recently identified as a risk allele for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), suggesting that PAH can be added as a new member of RNF213-associated vascular diseases including Moyamoya disease and peripheral pulmonary stenosis.
Purpose
Our aim was to identify the clinical features and outcomes of PAH patients with RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys variant.
Methods
Whole-exome sequencing was performed in 139 idiopathic (or possibly heritable) PAH patients. Hemodynamics and prognosis were evaluated in the patients with RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys variant and the patients with bone morphogenic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) mutations.
Results
The RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys variant was identified in a heterozygous state in 11 patients (7.9%). Time-course changes in hemodynamics after combination therapy in the patients with the RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys variant were significantly poorer compared with those in BMPR2 mutation carriers (n=36) (comparison of changes in mean pulmonary arterial pressure, P=0.007). The event-free rate of death or lung transplantation was significantly poorer in RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys variant carriers than in BMPR2 mutation carriers (5-year event-free rate since the introduction of prostaglandin I2 infusion, 0% vs. 93%, P<0.001) (Figure).
Time to death or lung transplantation
Conclusions
PAH patients with the RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys variant were associated with a poor reactivity to vasodilator drugs and poor clinical outcomes even in the recent era. Earlier consideration of lung transplantation might be required for RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys variant carriers developing PAH. Documentation of the RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys variant, as well as already known pathogenic genes, can provide clinically relevant information for therapeutic strategies, leading to a personalized approach for the treatment of PAH.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Rotors have been postulated to be a major driver of atrial fibrillation (AF). Initial studies demonstrated, that focal impulse and rotor modulation (FIRM) might be an effective therapy for the treatment of paroxysmal AF (PAF). However, data about FIRM-guided ablation strategies without PVI is sparse.
Objective
To compare the safety and efficacy of FIRM-guided catheter ablation (without PVI; FIRM arm) and second generation cryoballoon (CB2, CB2 arm) based PVI in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) and de-novo catheter ablation of AF.
Methods
In this retrospective single-center study patients with PAF undergoing de-novo ablation of PAF between February 2016 and January 2017 were enrolled. Patients treated with FIRM-guided AF ablation as a standalone therapy without PVI were included and compared with patients undergoing CB2 based PVI. All patients in the FIRM arm were part of the randomized multicenter FIRMAP AF trial (results of this trial will be presented at this meeting). In patients undergoing FIRM-guided ablation, 3D electroanatomical mapping of both atria was performed. Rotor mapping using FIRM technology was conducted in spontaneous or induced AF. The procedural endpoint was the elimination of all rotors and focal impulses; no PVI was performed in those patients. In the CB2 arm, CB based PVI with the procedural endpoint of isolation of all veins was performed. Procedural data and arrhythmia-free survival after 12 months were compared.
Results
FIRM-guided and CB2 based AF ablation was performed in 22 and 86 patients, respectively. Follow up was completed in 20 and 79 patients LA diameter differed between groups. Otherwise, baseline characteristics did not differ between the FIRM group (mean age 60±11 years, 59.1% males) and the CB2 group (mean age 62±13, 62.4% male).
Arrhythmia-free survival including a 90-day blanking period was 25.0% (15/20) in the FIRM group and 86.1% (11/79) in the CB2 PVI group (p=0.000; Figure 1). Procedure duration was significantly longer in the FIRM group (152 [120; 176] minutes) compared to the CB2 PVI group (122 [110; 145] minutes) (p=0.031), whereas radiation dose was lower in the FIRM group (1266 [1027; 2281] cGy·cm2 vs. 3020 [1677; 4215] cGy·cm2). Adverse events (groin complications) occurred in 1 patient (1.2%) in the CB2 PVI group and 5 patients (22.7%) in the FIRM group.
Figure 1. Kaplan-Meier-survival curve dem
Conclusion
De novo ablation of PAF using a FIRM-guided AF ablation only (without PVI) is associated with poor arrhythmia-free survival after 12 months compared to CB2 PVI. These results underline the importance of PVI as the first-line approach in catheter ablation of AF.

Abstract
The PHENIX collaboration presents first measurements of low-momentum (0.4<p_{T}<3 GeV/c) direct-photon yields from Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=39 and 62.4 GeV. For both beam energies the direct-photon yields are substantially enhanced with respect to expectations from prompt processes, similar to the yields observed in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200. Analyzing the photon yield as a function of the experimental observable dN_{ch}/dη reveals that the low-momentum (>1 GeV/c) direct-photon yield dN_{γ}^{dir}/dη is a smooth function of dN_{ch}/dη and can be well described as proportional to (dN_{ch}/dη)^{α} with α≈1.25. This scaling behavior holds for a wide range of beam energies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider, for centrality selected samples, as well as for different A+A collision systems. At a given beam energy, the scaling also holds for high p_{T} (>5 GeV/c), but when results from different collision energies are compared, an additional sqrt[s_{NN}]-dependent multiplicative factor is needed to describe the integrated-direct-photon yield.

Abstract
Lung abscess is usually treated with long-term antibiotic therapy. Due to the lack of a safe and easy drainage technique, drainage is only applied in refractory cases. We herein describe three cases in which drainage was successfully performed by endobronchial ultrasonography using a modified guide sheath. This procedure may have advantages in the detection of causative pathogens and early infection source control, and may therefore lead to the appropriate selection of antibiotics and reduce the duration of antibiotic therapy.

Abstract
Background When mouth breathing becomes habitual, it can cause sleep disorders and abnormal maxillofacial growth, thus early detection of habitual mouth breathing is important. We created a questionnaire for early detection of habitual mouth breathing using a score based on a spectrum of factors found to be characteristic of mouth breathers. Methods First, a draft 50-question questionnaire was given to 101 random dental clinic patients, classified by dental professionals into habitual mouth breathers (n = 28) and nose breathers (n = 73). The 10 questions that significantly differentiated mouth and nose breathers (p < 0.05) were identified from this questionnaire. These questions, regarding nasal obstruction, open mouth at rest, awareness of mouth breathing, gum swelling and dental staining of the front teeth, bad breath, maxillary protrusion, nasal obstruction in childhood, bottle-feeding, and history of asthma, formed the basis for a second questionnaire. This second survey was completed by another 242 participants, separately classified into mouth breathing (n = 26), suspected mouth breathing (n = 40), and nose breathing groups (n = 176). Results Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the resulting mouth breathing habit scores, representing the responses to the 10-question survey, showed moderate checklist diagnosability. Sensitivity of cut-off values was 61.5% (specificity 92.0%) for the mouth-breathing group, and 77.5% (specificity 56.3%) for the suspected mouth-breathing group. Information was also obtained from visual assessment of maxillofacial characteristics. We found that the mouth-breathing and suspected mouth-breathing groups showed significantly high odds ratios for 7 items: discomfort while breathing and increased chin muscle tonus with lip closure, maxillary protrusion, tongue thrust, open mouth at rest, open bite, and childhood asthma. For 94.6% of the nose breathing group, ≥1 of these items applied. Conclusions These findings were then used together to create a sample screening form. We believe that screening of this kind can facilitate more accurate diagnosis of habitual mouth breathing and contribute to its early detection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Drug-resistant pathogen (DRP) risk stratification is important for choosing a treatment strategy for community-onset pneumonia. Evidence for benefits of non-antipseudomonal β-lactam plus macrolide combination therapy (BLM) on mortality is limited in patients at low DRP risk. Risk factors for mortality remain to be clarified. METHODS Post hoc analysis using a prospective multicentre study cohort of community-onset pneumonia was performed to assess 30-day differences in mortality between non-antipseudomonal β-lactam monotherapy (BL) and BLM groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the therapeutic effect and risk factors for mortality in patients at low DRP risk. RESULTS In total, 594 patients with community-onset pneumonia at low DRP risk (369 BL and 225 BLM) were analysed. The 30-day mortality in BL and BLM was 13.8% and 1.8%, respectively (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that BLM reduced the 30-day mortality (adjusted odds ratio: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.09-0.87) compared with BL. Independent prognostic factors for 30-day mortality included arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2 ) > 50 mm Hg, white blood cell count < 4000/mm3 , non-ambulatory status, albumin < 3.0 g/dL, haematocrit < 30%, age ≥ 80 years, respiratory rate > 25/min and body temperature < 36°C. CONCLUSION In patients with community-onset pneumonia at low DRP risk, BLM treatment reduced 30-day mortality compared with BL. Independent risk factors for mortality are potential confounding factors when assessing antibiotic effects in randomized clinical trials.

Abstract
Fucose, a terminal sugar in glycoconjugates, critically regulates various physiological and pathological phenomena, including cancer development and inflammation. However, there are currently no probes for efficient labeling and detection of this sugar. We chemically synthesized a novel series of alkynyl-fucose analogs as probe candidates and found that 7-alkynyl-fucose gave the highest labeling efficiency and low cytotoxicity. Among the fucose analogs, 7-alkynyl-fucose was the best substrate against all five fucosyltransferases examined. We confirmed its conversion to the corresponding guanosine diphosphate derivative in cells and found that cellular glycoproteins were labeled much more efficiently with 7-alkynyl-fucose than with an existing probe. 7-Alkynyl-fucose was detected in the N-glycan core by mass spectrometry, and 7-alkynyl-fucose-modified proteins mostly disappeared in core-fucose-deficient mouse embryonic fibroblasts, suggesting that this analog mainly labeled core fucose in these cells. These results indicate that 7-alkynyl-fucose is a highly sensitive and powerful tool for basic glycobiology research and clinical application for biomarker discovery.

Abstract
The measurement of two-particle angular correlations is a powerful tool to study jet quenching in a p_{T} region inaccessible by direct jet identification. In these measurements pseudorapidity (Δη) and azimuthal (Δφ) differences are used to extract the shape of the near-side peak formed by particles associated with a higher p_{T} trigger particle (1<p_{T,trig}<8 GeV/c). A combined fit of the near-side peak and long-range correlations is applied to the data allowing the extraction of the centrality evolution of the peak shape in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV. A significant broadening of the peak in the Δη direction at low p_{T} is found from peripheral to central collisions, which vanishes above 4 GeV/c, while in the Δφ direction the peak is almost independent of centrality. For the 10% most central collisions and 1<p_{T,assoc}<2 GeV/c, 1<p_{T,trig}<3 GeV/c a novel feature is observed: a depletion develops around the center of the peak. The results are compared to pp collisions at the same center of mass energy and ampt model simulations. The comparison to the investigated models suggests that the broadening and the development of the depletion is connected to the strength of radial and longitudinal flow.

Abstract
Proteoglycan (PG) is a heavily glycosylated protein, localized to cell surface and extracellular matrix, and has various functions. Recently, it has been gradually revealed that PG interacts with various growth factors and morphogens and regulates cellular functions. Although salmon nasal cartilage PG (Salmon-PG) increases proliferation of immortalized cells, its mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we confirmed the effect of Salmon-PG on normal human dermal fibroblast (NHDF) and investigated the mechanism of PG action on NHDF. Salmon-PG dose- and time-dependently increased NHDF proliferation. Receptor tyrosine kinase array revealed that Salmon-PG increased only Erk1/2 signaling. Erk1/2 phosphorylation was significantly increased by Salmon-PG in a time-(10 min) and dose-(400 or 800 μg/mL) dependent manner. MEK inhibitor suppressed the enhancement of NHDF proliferation by Salmon-PG. The overall findings indicate that Salmon-PG plays a role as a growth factor in NHDF via Erk1/2 activation, suggesting that Salmon-PG contributes to the maintenance of skin homeostasis.

Abstract
The azimuthal correlations of D mesons with charged particles were measured with the ALICE apparatus in pp collisions at [Formula: see text] and p-Pb collisions at [Formula: see text] at the Large Hadron Collider. [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] mesons and their charge conjugates with transverse momentum [Formula: see text] and rapidity in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass system [Formula: see text] (pp collisions) and [Formula: see text] (p-Pb collisions) were correlated to charged particles with [Formula: see text]. The yield of charged particles in the correlation peak induced by the jet containing the D meson and the peak width are compatible within uncertainties in the two collision systems. The data are described within uncertainties by Monte-Carlo simulations based on PYTHIA, POWHEG, and EPOS 3 event generators.

Abstract
Herpesviral haematopoietic necrosis (HVHN), caused by cyprinid herpesvirus-2 (CyHV-2), has affected the commercial production of the goldfish Carassius auratus and gibelio carp Carassius auratus gibelio. High water temperature treatments are reported to reduce the mortality rate of infected goldfish and elicit immunity in the survivors. To define the mechanism by which this intervention induces resistance, clonal ginbuna Carassius auratus langsdorfii, which is closely related to both species and has been used in fish immunology, may represent a promising model species. In this study, we investigated the susceptibility of clonal ginbuna strains to CyHV-2 and the effect of high water temperature treatment on infected ginbuna and goldfish. Experimental intraperitoneal infection with CyHV-2 at 25 °C caused 100% mortality in ginbuna strains, which was accompanied by histopathological changes typical of HVHN. Both infected ginbuna S3n strain and goldfish, exposed to high temperature for 6 days [shifting from 25 °C (permissive) to 34 °C (non-permissive)], showed reduced mortalities after the 1st inoculation, and subsequent 2nd virus challenge to 0%, indicating induction of immunity. It was concluded that ginbuna showed a similar susceptibility and disease development in CyHV-2 infection compared to goldfish, suggesting that ginbuna can be a useful fish model for the study of CyHV-2 infection and immunity.

Expressions of lipoprotein receptors and cholesterol efflux regulatory proteins during luteolysis in bovine corpus luteum. Reprod Fertil Dev 2017; 29:1280-1286.

Abstract
The corpus luteum (CL) synthesises and secretes progesterone (P4), which is essential for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in mammals. P4 is synthesised from cholesterol. Cholesterol is internalised by low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and/or scavenger receptor B1 (SR-BI), and is effluxed by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter A1 (ABCA1) and G1 (ABCG1). To test the hypothesis that lipoprotein receptors and ABC transporters are involved in functional luteolysis, we examined the expression of LDLR, SR-BI, ABCA1 and ABCG1 in bovine CL during the luteal stages and after injection of prostaglandin (PG) F2α on Day 10 after ovulation. Expression of LDLR and SR-BI mRNA and protein was lower in the regressed luteal than late luteal stage. Injection of cows with a PGF2α did not affect LDLR mRNA and protein levels in the CL. Although expression of SR-BI mRNA did not change, SR-BI protein expression decreased 12 and 24 h after PGF2α injection. The overall findings of the present study suggest that the decreased expression of SR-BI induced by PGF2α is one of the factors responsible for the continuous decrease in P4 production during functional luteolysis.

Abstract
We report the measurements of correlations between event-by-event fluctuations of amplitudes of anisotropic flow harmonics in nucleus-nucleus collisions, obtained for the first time using a new analysis method based on multiparticle cumulants in mixed harmonics. This novel method is robust against systematic biases originating from nonflow effects and by construction any dependence on symmetry planes is eliminated. We demonstrate that correlations of flow harmonics exhibit a better sensitivity to medium properties than the individual flow harmonics. The new measurements are performed in Pb-Pb collisions at the center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV by the ALICE experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. The centrality dependence of correlation between event-by-event fluctuations of the elliptic v_{2} and quadrangular v_{4} flow harmonics, as well as of anticorrelation between v_{2} and triangular v_{3} flow harmonics are presented. The results cover two different regimes of the initial state configurations: geometry dominated (in midcentral collisions) and fluctuation dominated (in the most central collisions). Comparisons are made to predictions from Monte Carlo Glauber, viscous hydrodynamics, ampt, and hijing models. Together with the existing measurements of the individual flow harmonics the presented results provide further constraints on the initial conditions and the transport properties of the system produced in heavy-ion collisions.

Abstract
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is a neurodegenerative disorder most commonly associated with repetitive traumatic brain injury (TBI) and characterized by the presence of neurofibrillary tangles of tau protein, known as a tauopathy. Currently, the diagnosis of CTE can only be definitively established postmortem. However, a new positron emission tomography (PET) ligand, [18F]T807/AV1451, may provide the antemortem detection of tau aggregates, and thus various tauopathies, including CTE. Our goal was to examine [18F]T807/AV1451 retention in athletes with neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with a history of multiple concussions. Here we report a 39-year-old retired National Football League player who suffered 22 concussions and manifested progressive neuropsychiatric symptoms. Emotional lability and irritability were the chief complaints. Serial neuropsychological exams revealed a decline in executive functioning, processing speed and fine motor skills. Naming was below average but other cognitive functions were preserved. Structural analysis of longitudinally acquired magenetic resonance imaging scans revealed cortical thinning in the left frontal and lateral temporal areas, as well as volume loss in the basal ganglia. PET with [18F]florbetapir was negative for amyloidosis. The [18F]T807/AV1451 PET showed multifocal areas of retention at the cortical gray matter-white matter junction, a distribution considered pathognomonic for CTE. [18F]T807/AV1451 standard uptake value (SUV) analysis showed increased uptake (SUVr⩾1.1) in bilateral cingulate, occipital, and orbitofrontal cortices, and several temporal areas. Although definitive identification of the neuropathological underpinnings basis for [18F]T807/AV1451 retention requires postmortem correlation, our data suggest that [18F]T807/AV1451 tauopathy imaging may be a promising tool to detect and diagnose CTE-related tauopathy in living subjects.

Abstract
To determine the most appropriate radiographic approach to parotid tumors, computed tomography (CT) was performed in 65 patients with 33 benign tumors, 19 malignant tumors, 3 abscesses and 10 other lesions with a clinical appearance of tumor. In 22 of the 65 cases CT-sialography and in 26 ultrasonography (US) were also performed. The mass was well recognized on CT without sialography in all patients, and the lesion was also well evaluated in all those examined with US. At CT-sialography the tumor was well shown, but this method made it difficult to differentiate a benign from a malignant lesion, because the character of the delineation and the border of the tumor were difficult to evaluate. It is concluded that US and CT without sialography are satisfactory for evaluating the parotid tumor, and the indication for CT-sialography is limited to those cases in which the tumor is demonstrated on US, but is unclear on conventional CT.

Abstract
The pseudorapidity density of charged particles, dN_{ch}/dη, at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions has been measured at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. For the 5% most central collisions, we measure a value of 1943±54. The rise in dN_{ch}/dη as a function of sqrt[s_{NN}] is steeper than that observed in proton-proton collisions and follows the trend established by measurements at lower energy. The increase of dN_{ch}/dη as a function of the average number of participant nucleons, ⟨N_{part}⟩, calculated in a Glauber model, is compared with the previous measurement at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV. A constant factor of about 1.2 describes the increase in dN_{ch}/dη from sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 to 5.02 TeV for all centrality classes, within the measured range of 0%-80% centrality. The results are also compared to models based on different mechanisms for particle production in nuclear collisions.

Abstract
We report on the first measurement of an excess in the yield of J/ψ at very low transverse momentum (p_{T}<0.3 GeV/c) in peripheral hadronic Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=2.76 TeV, performed by ALICE at the CERN LHC. Remarkably, the measured nuclear modification factor of J/ψ in the rapidity range 2.5<y<4 reaches about 7 (2) in the p_{T} range 0-0.3 GeV/c in the 70%-90% (50%-70%) centrality class. The J/ψ production cross section associated with the observed excess is obtained under the hypothesis that coherent photoproduction of J/ψ is the underlying physics mechanism. If confirmed, the observation of J/ψ coherent photoproduction in Pb-Pb collisions at impact parameters smaller than twice the nuclear radius opens new theoretical and experimental challenges and opportunities. In particular, coherent photoproduction accompanying hadronic collisions may provide insight into the dynamics of photoproduction and nuclear reactions, as well as become a novel probe of the quark-gluon plasma.
