Abstract
Unreasonable medical fees can cause problems such as increased medical costs, greater medical disparities, decreased medical standards, and physician shortages. To prevent such problems, it is important to set appropriate medical fees, ensure their proper use, and improve the efficiency of medical care. The treatment of patients with maxillofacial defects is generally more expensive compared with general prosthodontic treatment because it involves more materials and requires more frequently follow-ups for longer period. However, the actual time required for maxillofacial prosthetic treatment is unclear. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to clarify the amount of time spent treating maxillofacial prosthetic patients. We analyzed clinical data from patients undergoing routine maxillofacial prosthetic treatment, irrespective of difficulty level, at 8 university hospitals and 2 dental clinics. We also collected data from maxillofacial prosthodontists on the treatment time required for various Japanese health insurance items, including the fabrication of maxillofacial prostheses. The results revealed that some aspects of maxillofacial prosthetic treatment may take longer to perform and are more costly to perform than previously thought, suggesting the need for some adjustments to the health insurance reimbursement system. Maintaining an appropriate balance between expenditures and fees will greatly benefit patients and physicians, ensuring positive health outcomes and a healthy society.

Abstract
The need to manufacture components out of copper is significantly increasing, particularly in the solar technology, semiconductor, and electric vehicle sectors. In the past few decades, infrared laser (IR) and green laser (GL) have been the primary technologies used to address this demand, especially for small or thin components. However, with the increased demand for energy saving, alternative joint techniques such as blue diode laser (BDL) are being actively explored. In this paper, bead-on-plate welding experiments on 0.2 mm thick pure copper samples employing a BDL are presented. Two sets of parameters were carefully selected in this investigation, namely Cu-1: Power (P) = 200 W; Speed (s) = 1 mm/s; and angle = 0°, and Cu-2: P = 200 W; s = 5 mm/s; and angle = 10°. The results from both sets of parameters produced defect-free full penetration welds. Hardness test results indicated relatively softer weld zones compared with the base metal. Tensile test samples fractured in the weld zones. Overall, the samples welded with Cu-1 parameters showed better mechanical properties, such as strength and elongation, than those welded with the Cu-2 parameters. The tensile strength and elongation obtained from Cu-1 were marginally lower than those of the unwelded pure copper. The outcomes from this research provide an alternative welding technique that is able to produce reliable, strong, and precise joints, particularly for small and thin components, which can be very challenging to produce.

Abstract
The fastening mechanics of prosthetic screws under various conditions is crucial to the maintenance of dental implants. This study comprehensively explores the prosthetic screw rupture in titanium (Ti) and zirconia (ZrO2) superstructures under wet and dry conditions. Superstructures were fabricated using digital technology and subjected to tightening torque trials. Experimental results suggested that the implications of the conventionally recommended torque of 15 N•cm differ significantly between dry and wet environments. Both Ti and ZrO2 exhibited preloads of >30 N•cm under dry conditions; however, differences emerged under wet conditions. In addition, screw rupture posed a prominent clinical challenge -particularly during long-term cyclic loading. Notably, the ZrO2 superstructures exhibited a greater resistance to breaking torque than that of Ti. This study underscores the importance of reevaluating torque recommendations with consideration to the distinct characteristics of Ti and ZrO2 in diverse environments.

Abstract
Bioglass 45S5, a silica-based glass, has pioneered a new field of biomaterials. Bioglass 45S5 promotes mineralization through calcium ion release and is widely used in the dental field, including toothpaste formulations. However, the use of Bioglass 45S5 for bone grafting is limited owing to the induction of inflammation, as well as reduced degradation and ion release. Phosphate-based glasses exhibit higher solubility and ion release than silica-based glass. Given that these glasses can be synthesized at low temperatures (approximately 1,000°C), they can easily be doped with various metal oxides to confer therapeutic properties. Herein, we fabricated zinc- and fluoride-doped phosphate-based glass (multicomponent phosphate [MP] bioactive glass) and further doped aluminum oxide into the MP glass (4% Al-MP glass) to overcome the striking solubility of phosphate-based glass. Increased amounts of zinc and fluoride ions were detected in water containing the MP glass. Doping of aluminum oxide into the MP glass suppressed the striking dissolution in water, with 4% Al-MP glass exhibiting the highest stability in water. Compared with Bioglass 45S5, 4% Al-MP glass in water had a notably reduced particle size, supporting the abundant ion release of 4% Al-MP glass. Compared with Bioglass 45S5, 4% Al-MP glass enhanced the osteogenesis of mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Mouse macrophages cultured with 4% Al-MP glass displayed enhanced induction of anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages and reduced proinflammatory M1 macrophages, indicating M2 polarization. Upon implanting 4% Al-MP glass or Bioglass 45S5 in a mouse calvarial defect, 4% Al-MP glass promoted significant bone regeneration when compared with Bioglass 45S5. Hence, we successfully fabricated zinc- and fluoride-releasing bioactive glasses with improved osteogenic and anti-inflammatory properties, which could serve as a promising biomaterial for bone regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), or Hunter syndrome, is a rare X-linked metabolic disorder predominantly affecting males. Pabinafusp alfa, an iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme designed to cross the blood-brain barrier, was approved in Japan in 2021 as the first enzyme replacement therapy targeting both the neuropathic and somatic signs and symptoms of MPS II. This study reports caregivers' experiences of MPS II patients receiving pabinafusp alfa through qualitative interviews. METHODS Semi-structured, qualitative interviews were conducted with caregivers at seven clinical sites in Japan using a semi-structured moderation guide (Voice of the Caregiver guide). Thematic analysis was applied to the interview transcripts to identify symptoms and health-related quality of life impacts at baseline, changes during treatment, and overall treatment experience. RESULTS Seven caregivers from 16 trial sites participated, representing seven children aged 8-18 years who had received pabinafusp alfa for 3.3-3.5 years at the time of the interviews. Data suggest a general trend toward improvement in multiple aspects, although not all caregivers observed discernible changes. Reported cognitive improvements included language skills, concentration, self-control, eye contact, mental clarity, concept understanding, following instructions, and expressing personal needs. Further changes were reported that included musculoskeletal improvements and such somatic changes as motor function, mobility, organ involvement, joint mobility, sleep patterns, and fatigue. Four caregivers reported improvements in family quality of life, five expressed treatment satisfaction, and all seven indicated a strong willingness to continue treatment of their children with pabinafusp alfa. CONCLUSION Caregivers' perspectives in this study demonstrate treatment satisfaction and improvement in various aspects of quality of life following therapy with pabinafusp alfa. These findings enhance understanding of pabinafusp alfa's potential benefits in treating MPS II and contribute to defining MPS II-specific outcome measures for future clinical trials.

Abstract
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) causes systemic accumulation of glycosaminoglycans due to a genetic deficiency of α-L-iduronidase (IDUA), which results in progressive systemic symptoms affecting multiple organs, including the central nervous system (CNS). Because the blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents enzymes from reaching the brain, enzyme replacement therapy is effective only against the somatic symptoms. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can address the CNS symptoms, but the risk of complications limits its applicability. We have developed a novel genetically modified protein consisting of IDUA fused with humanized anti-human transferrin receptor antibody (lepunafusp alfa; JR-171), which has been shown in nonclinical studies to be distributed to major organs, including the brain, bringing about systemic reductions in heparan sulfate (HS) and dermatan sulfate concentrations. Subsequently, a first-in-human study was conducted to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and exploratory efficacy of JR-171 in 18 patients with MPS I. No notable safety issues were observed. Plasma drug concentration increased dose dependently and reached its maximum approximately 4 h after the end of drug administration. Decreased HS in the cerebrospinal fluid suggested successful delivery of JR-171 across the BBB, while suppressed urine and serum concentrations of the substrates indicated that its somatic efficacy was comparable to that of laronidase.

Abstract
PURPOSE During the last decade, the incidence of anaerobic bacteremia (AB) has been increasing. Patients with AB may develop complex underlying diseases, which can occasionally be accompanied by fatal or fulminant outcomes. However, the risk factors for AB-related mortality remain unclear. Herein, we sought to elucidate the risk factors for AB-related mortality. METHODS In this multicenter, retrospective, observational study, we enrolled patients with culture-proven AB from six tertiary hospitals in Japan, between January 2012 and December 2021. Data on patient and infection characteristics, laboratory findings, treatment, and outcome were collected, and their associations with mortality were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 520 participants were included. The 30-day mortality in the study cohort was 14.0% (73 patients), and malignant tumors were frequently observed comorbidities in 48% of the entire cohort. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed a Charlson comorbidity score of > 6, serum creatinine level of > 1.17 mg/dL, and hypotension to be independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in AB (odds ratios [ORs] 2.12, 2.25, and 5.12, respectively; p < 0.05), whereas drainage significantly reduced this risk (OR, 0.28; p < 0.0001). Twelve patients (2.3% of the whole cohort and 16.4% of the deceased patients) presented with extremely rapid progression leading to fatal outcome, consistent with "fulminant AB." CONCLUSIONS This study identified acute circulatory dysfunction and performance of drainage as independent predictive factors for 30-day AB-related mortality and revealed the existence of a fulminant AB sub-phenotype. Our findings could serve as a practical guide to predict the clinical outcomes of AB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is concern that hydroxyzine exacerbates delirium, but a recent preliminary study suggested that the combination of haloperidol and hydroxyzine was effective against delirium. This study examined whether the concomitant use of hydroxyzine and haloperidol worsened delirium in patients with cancer. METHODS This retrospective, observational study was conducted at 2 general hospitals in Japan. The medical records of patients with cancer who received haloperidol for delirium from July to December 2020 were reviewed. The treatments for delirium included haloperidol alone or haloperidol combined with hydroxyzine. The primary outcome was the duration from the first day of haloperidol administration to the resolution of delirium, defined as its absence for 2 consecutive days. The time to delirium resolution was analyzed to compare the haloperidol group and hydroxyzine combination group using the log-rank test with the Kaplan-Meier method. Secondary outcomes were (1) the total dose of antipsychotic medications, including those other than haloperidol (measured in chlorpromazine-equivalent doses), and (2) the frequencies of detrimental incidents during delirium, specifically falls and self-removal of drip infusion lines. The unpaired t-test and Fisher's exact test were used to analyze secondary outcomes. RESULTS Of 497 patients who received haloperidol, 118 (23.7%) also received hydroxyzine. No significant difference in time to delirium resolution was found between the haloperidol group and the hydroxyzine combination group (log-rank test, P = 0.631). No significant difference between groups was found in either chlorpromazine-equivalent doses or the frequency of detrimental incidents. SIGNIFICANCE OF RESULTS This study showed that the concomitant use of hydroxyzine and haloperidol did not worsen delirium in patients with cancer.

Abstract
A critical degree of podocyte depletion causes glomerulosclerosis, and persistent podocyte loss in glomerular diseases drives the progression to end-stage kidney disease. The extent of podocyte injury at a point in time can be histologically assessed by measuring podocyte number, size, and density ("Biopsy podometrics"). However, repeated invasive renal biopsies are associated with increased risk and cost. A noninvasive method for assessing podocyte injury and depletion is required. Albuminuria and proteinuria do not always correlate with disease activity. Podocytes are located on the urinary space side of the glomerular basement membrane, and as they undergo stress or detach, their products can be identified in urine. This raises the possibility that urinary podocyte products can serve as clinically useful markers for monitoring glomerular disease activity and progression ("Urinary podometrics"). We previously reported that urinary sediment podocyte mRNA reflects disease activity in both animal models and human glomerular diseases. This includes diabetes and hypertension which together account for 60% of new-onset dialysis induction patients. Improving approaches to preventing progression is an urgent priority for the renal community. Sufficient evidence now exists to indicate that monitoring urinary podocyte markers could serve as a useful adjunctive strategy for determining the level of current disease activity and response to therapy in progressive glomerular diseases.

Abstract
We conducted a randomized phase 3 study to investigate the efficacy and safety of GH treatment in prepubertal Japanese patients with short stature due to SHOX deficiency. The patients were randomly allocated to the GH-GH group (n = 10), in which the patients were treated with GH (0.35 mg/kg/wk) subcutaneously once daily for 24 mo, or the no-treatment (NT)-GH group (n = 9), in which the patients were untreated for the first 12 mo and then administered the same dosage of GH for the next 12 mo. At month 12, the ∆height standard deviation score (SDS) for chronological age (CA) and serum IGF-1 level were significantly higher in the GH-GH group than those in the NT-GH group. In contrast, bone age (BA) and ΔBA/ΔCA were numerically higher in the GH-GH group but were not statistically significant. At month 24, these parameters were comparable between the two groups. The height velocity was significantly larger in the GH-GH group during the first year and in the NT-GH group during the second year. No serious adverse drug reactions were observed; however, one patient in the GH-GH group exhibited increased insulin resistance at month 24. These results indicated that GH is a promising treatment option for short stature in patients with SHOX deficiency.

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

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

Abstract
Interactions between plants and herbivores are central in most ecosystems, but their strength is highly variable. The amount of variability within a system is thought to influence most aspects of plant-herbivore biology, from ecological stability to plant defense evolution. Our understanding of what influences variability, however, is limited by sparse data. We collected standardized surveys of herbivory for 503 plant species at 790 sites across 116° of latitude. With these data, we show that within-population variability in herbivory increases with latitude, decreases with plant size, and is phylogenetically structured. Differences in the magnitude of variability are thus central to how plant-herbivore biology varies across macroscale gradients. We argue that increased focus on interaction variability will advance understanding of patterns of life on Earth.

Abstract
Iron deficiency/excess may be associated with worse prognosis in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study ascertained the association of the estimated total body iron (TBI) with mortality in patients receiving hemodialysis. Multicenter clinical data collected in the Miyazaki Dialysis Cohort Study from 943 patients receiving hemodialysis were analyzed after stratification into tertile categories by baseline TBI-estimated as the heme iron plus iron storage from ferritin levels. The primary outcome was a 5-year all-cause mortality; hazard ratios of the TBI-all-cause mortality association were estimated using Cox models adjusted for potential confounders, including clinical characteristics, laboratory, and drug data, wherein patients with high TBI were the reference category. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses of TBI, serum ferritin levels, and transferrin saturation were performed to predict all-cause mortality; a total of 232 patients died during the follow-up. The low TBI group (<1.6 g) had significantly higher hazard ratios of mortality than the high TBI group (≥2.0 g). As ROC curve analyses showed, TBI predicted mortality more accurately than either levels of serum ferritin or transferrin saturation. Lower TBI increases the mortality risk of Japanese hemodialysis patients, and further studies should examine whether iron supplementation therapy that avoids low TBI improves prognosis.

Abstract
We present the first comprehensive tests of the universality of the light leptons in the angular distributions of semileptonic B^{0}-meson decays to charged spin-1 charmed mesons. We measure five angular-asymmetry observables as functions of the decay recoil that are sensitive to lepton-universality-violating contributions. We use events where one neutral B is fully reconstructed in ϒ(4S)→BB[over ¯] decays in data corresponding to 189 fb^{-1} integrated luminosity from electron-positron collisions collected with the Belle II detector. We find no significant deviation from the standard model expectations.

Abstract
We measure the lifetime of the D_{s}^{+} meson using a data sample of 207 fb^{-1} collected by the Belle II experiment running at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The lifetime is determined by fitting the decay-time distribution of a sample of 116×10^{3} D_{s}^{+}→ϕπ^{+} decays. Our result is τ_{D_{s}^{+}}=(499.5±1.7±0.9) fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This result is significantly more precise than previous measurements.

Abstract
High-dimensional optimization presents a novel challenge within the realm of intelligent computing, necessitating innovative approaches. When tackling high-dimensional spaces, traditional evolutionary tools often encounter pitfalls, including dimensional catastrophes and a propensity to become trapped in local optima, ultimately compromising result accuracy. To address this issue, we introduce the Pair Barracuda Swarm Optimization (PBSO) algorithm in this paper. PBSO employs a unique strategy for constructing barracuda pairs, effectively mitigating the challenges posed by high dimensionality. Furthermore, we enhance global search capabilities by incorporating a support barracuda alongside the leading barracuda pair. To assess the algorithm's performance, we conduct experiments utilizing the CEC2017 standard function and compare PBSO against five state-of-the-art natural-inspired optimizers in the control group. Across 29 test functions, PBSO consistently secures top rankings with 9 first-place, 13 second-place, 5 third-place, 1 fourth-place, and 1 fifth-place finishes, yielding an average rank of 2.0345. These empirical findings affirm that PBSO stands as the superior choice among all test algorithms, offering a dependable solution for high-dimensional optimization challenges.

Abstract
We report the first search for a nonstandard-model resonance decaying into τ pairs in e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}τ^{+}τ^{-} events in the 3.6-10 GeV/c^{2} mass range. We use a 62.8 fb^{-1} sample of e^{+}e^{-} collisions collected at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. The analysis probes three different models predicting a spin-1 particle coupling only to the heavier lepton families, a Higgs-like spin-0 particle that couples preferentially to charged leptons (leptophilic scalar), and an axionlike particle, respectively. We observe no evidence for a signal and set exclusion limits at 90% confidence level on the product of cross section and branching fraction into τ pairs, ranging from 0.7 to 24 fb, and on the couplings of these processes. We obtain world-leading constraints on the couplings for the leptophilic scalar model for masses above 6.5 GeV/c^{2} and for the axionlike particle model over the entire mass range.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the CP-violating parameters C and S in B^{0}→K_{S}^{0}π^{0} decays at Belle II using a sample of 387×10^{6} BB[over ¯] events recorded in e^{+}e^{-} collisions at a center-of-mass energy corresponding to the ϒ(4S) resonance. These parameters are determined by fitting the proper decay-time distribution of a sample of 415 signal events. We obtain C=-0.04_{-0.15}^{+0.14}±0.05 and S=0.75_{-0.23}^{+0.20}±0.04, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of the ratio of branching fractions of inclusive semileptonic B-meson decays, R(X_{e/μ})=B(B→Xeν)/B(B→Xμν), a precision test of electron-muon universality, using data corresponding to 189 fb^{-1} from electron-positron collisions collected with the Belle II detector. In events where the partner B meson is fully reconstructed, we use fits to the lepton momentum spectra above 1.3 GeV/c to obtain R(X_{e/μ})=1.007±0.009(stat)±0.019(syst), which is the most precise lepton-universality test of its kind and agrees with the standard-model expectation.

Abstract
The use of deep learning (DL) in medical imaging is becoming increasingly widespread. Although DL has been used previously for the segmentation of facial bones in computed tomography (CT) images, there are few reports of segmentation involving multiple areas. In this study, a U-Net was used to investigate the automatic segmentation of facial bones into eight areas, with the aim of facilitating virtual surgical planning (VSP) and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in maxillofacial surgery. CT data from 50 patients were prepared and used for training, and five-fold cross-validation was performed. The output results generated by the DL model were validated by Dice coefficient and average symmetric surface distance (ASSD). The automatic segmentation was successful in all cases, with a mean± standard deviation Dice coefficient of 0.897 ± 0.077 and ASSD of 1.168 ± 1.962 mm. The accuracy was very high for the mandible (Dice coefficient 0.984, ASSD 0.324 mm) and zygomatic bones (Dice coefficient 0.931, ASSD 0.487 mm), and these could be introduced for VSP and CAD/CAM without any modification. The results for other areas, particularly the teeth, were slightly inferior, with possible reasons being the effects of defects, bonded maxillary and mandibular teeth, and metal artefacts. A limitation of this study is that the data were from a single institution. Hence further research is required to improve the accuracy for some facial areas and to validate the results in larger and more diverse populations.

Abstract
High-dimensional optimization has numerous potential applications in both academia and industry. It is a major challenge for optimization algorithms to generate very accurate solutions in high-dimensional search spaces. However, traditional search tools are prone to dimensional catastrophes and local optima, thus failing to provide high-precision results. To solve these problems, a novel hermit crab optimization algorithm (the HCOA) is introduced in this paper. Inspired by the group behaviour of hermit crabs, the HCOA combines the optimal search and historical path search to balance the depth and breadth searches. In the experimental section of the paper, the HCOA competes with 5 well-known metaheuristic algorithms in the CEC2017 benchmark functions, which contain 29 functions, with 23 of these ranking first. The state of work BPSO-CM is also chosen to compare with the HCOA, and the competition shows that the HCOA has a better performance in the 100-dimensional test of the CEC2017 benchmark functions. All the experimental results demonstrate that the HCOA presents highly accurate and robust results for high-dimensional optimization problems.

Abstract
The L_{μ}-L_{τ} extension of the standard model predicts the existence of a lepton-flavor-universality-violating Z^{'} boson that couples only to the heavier lepton families. We search for such a Z^{'} through its invisible decay in the process e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}Z^{'}. We use a sample of electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019-2020, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79.7 fb^{-1}. We find no excess over the expected standard-model background. We set 90%-confidence-level upper limits on the cross section for this process as well as on the coupling of the model, which ranges from 3×10^{-3} at low Z^{'} masses to 1 at Z^{'} masses of 8 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
A deep memory bare-bones particle swarm optimization algorithm (DMBBPSO) for single-objective optimization problems is proposed in this paper. The DMBBPSO is able to perform high-precision local search while maintaining a large global search, thus providing a reliable solution to high-dimensional complex optimization problems. Normally, maintaining high accuracy while conducting global searches is an important challenge for single-objective optimizers. Traditional particle swarms optimizers can rapidly lose the diversity during iterations and are unable to perform global searches efficiently, and thus are more likely to be trapped by local optima. To address this problem, the DMBBPSO combines multiple memory storage mechanism (MMSM) and a layer-by-layer activation strategy (LAS). The MMSM catalyzes a set of deep memories to increase the diversity of the particle swarm. For every single particle, both of the personal best position and deep memories will be used in the evaluation process. The LAS enables the particle swarm to avoid premature convergence while enhancing local search capabilities. The collaboration between MMSM and LAS enhances the diversity of the particle swarm, which in turn enhances the robustness of the DMBBPSO. To investigate the optimization ability of the DMBBPSO for single-objective optimization problems, The CEC2017 benchmark functions are used in experiments. Five state-of-the-art evolutionary algorithms are used in the control group. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that the DMBBPSO can provide high precision results for single-objective optimization problems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A denture adhesive for dry mouth with good cleaning properties has recently been developed. While previous studies on models have shown the effectiveness of denture adhesives in terms of retention and cleanability, no reports have evaluated their effectiveness in the oral cavity. The aim of this study was to compare and investigate the retention and usability of an experimental palatal plate in the dentulous jaw using a denture adhesive for dry mouth, a conventional cream-type denture adhesive, an oral moisturizer, and a denture moisturizer. METHODS Ten healthy dentulous participants (mean age 27.2 ± 1.6 years) were included in the study. Palatal plates were fabricated. Four test samples were used: denture adhesive for dry mouth, conventional denture adhesive (cream type), oral moisturizer, and denture moisturizer. The sample was applied to the inner surface of the palatal plates, and the retentive force of the palatal plate was measured every 10 min for 30 min. After the measurements, the study participants were asked to rinse the palatal plate with water and subjectively evaluate the samples used. RESULTS The conventional denture adhesive (cream type) showed increased retentive force over time, with the maximum retentive force obtained after 10 min of application. However, its washability was rated second lowest. The denture adhesive for dry mouth showed the highest retentive force immediately after application. Its washability was also good. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that the denture adhesive for dry mouth has reasonable retentive force in the oral cavity and cleaning properties compared to the conventional cream-type denture adhesive.

Abstract
We search for lepton-flavor-violating τ^{-}→e^{-}α and τ^{-}→μ^{-}α decays, where α is an invisible spin-0 boson. The search uses electron-positron collisions at 10.58 GeV center-of-mass energy with an integrated luminosity of 62.8 fb^{-1}, produced by the SuperKEKB collider and collected with the Belle II detector. We search for an excess in the lepton-energy spectrum of the known τ^{-}→e^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e}ν_{τ} and τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ} decays. We report 95% confidence-level upper limits on the branching-fraction ratio B(τ^{-}→e^{-}α)/B(τ^{-}→e^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e}ν_{τ}) in the range (1.1-9.7)×10^{-3} and on B(τ^{-}→μ^{-}α)/B(τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ}) in the range (0.7-12.2)×10^{-3} for α masses between 0 and 1.6 GeV/c^{2}. These results provide the most stringent bounds on invisible boson production from τ decays.

Abstract
The optical properties of pure liquid copper were investigated using density functional theory with the Quantum ESPRESSO package. 
The effects of structural changes were investigated by comparing the electron density of states and imaginary part of the dielectric function between the crystalline and liquid states with densities near the melting point.
The results indicated that the effect of interband transitions remains in the structural changes near the melting point.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial cell activation is tightly controlled by the balance between VEGF (vascular endothelial cell growth factor) and Notch signaling pathway. VEGF destabilizes blood vessels and promotes neovascularization, which are common features of sight-threatening ocular vascular disorders. Here, we show that BCL6B (B-cell CLL/lymphoma 6 member B protein), also known as BAZF, ZBTB28, and ZNF62, plays a pivotal role in the development of retinal edema and neovascularization. METHODS The pathophysiological physiological role of BCL6B was investigated in cellular and animal models mimicking 2 pathological conditions: retinal vein occlusion and choroidal neovascularization. An in vitro experimental system was used in which human retinal microvascular endothelial cells were supplemented with VEGF. Choroidal neovascularization cynomolgus monkey model was generated to investigate the involvement of BCL6B in the pathogenesis. Mice lacking BCL6B or treated with BCL6B-targeting small-interfering ribose nucleic acid were examined for histological and molecular phenotypes. RESULTS In retinal endothelial cells, the BCL6B expression level was increased by VEGF. BCL6B-deficient endothelial cells showed Notch signal activation and attenuated cord formation via blockage of the VEGF-VEGFR2 signaling pathway. Optical coherence tomography images showed that choroidal neovascularization lesions were decreased by BCL6B-targeting small-interfering ribose nucleic acid. Although BCL6B mRNA expression was significantly increased in the retina, BCL6B-targeting small-interfering ribose nucleic acid suppressed ocular edema in the neuroretina. The increase in proangiogenic cytokines and breakdown of the inner blood-retinal barrier were abrogated in BCL6B knockout (KO) mice via Notch transcriptional activation by CBF1 (C promotor-binding factor 1) and its activator, the NICD (notch intracellular domain). Immunostaining showed that Müller cell activation, a source of VEGF, was diminished in BCL6B-KO retinas. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that BCL6B may be a novel therapeutic target for ocular vascular diseases characterized by ocular neovascularization and edema.

Abstract
We study the processes e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{bJ}(1P) (J=0, 1, or 2) using samples at center-of-mass energies sqrt[s]=10.701, 10.745, and 10.805 GeV, corresponding to 1.6, 9.8, and 4.7 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity, respectively. These data were collected with the Belle II detector during special operations of the SuperKEKB collider above the ϒ(4S) resonance. We report the first observation of ωχ_{bJ}(1P) signals at sqrt[s]=10.745 GeV. By combining Belle II data with Belle results at sqrt[s]=10.867 GeV, we find energy dependencies of the Born cross sections for e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{b1,b2}(1P) to be consistent with the shape of the ϒ(10753) state. These data indicate that the internal structures of the ϒ(10753) and ϒ(10860) states may differ. Including data at sqrt[s]=10.653 GeV, we also search for the bottomonium equivalent of the X(3872) state decaying into ωϒ(1S). No significant signal is observed for masses between 10.45 and 10.65 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
An absolute measurement of the Λ_{c}^{+} lifetime is reported using Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+} decays in events reconstructed from data collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. The total integrated luminosity of the data sample, which was collected at center-of-mass energies at or near the ϒ(4S) resonance, is 207.2 fb^{-1}. The result, τ(Λ_{c}^{+})=203.20±0.89±0.77 fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic, is the most precise measurement to date and is consistent with previous determinations.

Abstract
The dark photon A^{'} and the dark Higgs boson h^{'} are hypothetical particles predicted in many dark sector models. We search for the simultaneous production of A^{'} and h^{'} in the dark Higgsstrahlung process e^{+}e^{-}→A^{'}h^{'} with A^{'}→μ^{+}μ^{-} and h^{'} invisible in electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV in data collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019. With an integrated luminosity of 8.34 fb^{-1}, we observe no evidence for signal. We obtain exclusion limits at 90% Bayesian credibility in the range of 1.7-5.0 fb on the cross section and in the range of 1.7×10^{-8}-200×10^{-8} on the effective coupling ϵ^{2}×α_{D} for the A^{'} mass in the range of 4.0 GeV/c^{2}<M_{A^{'}}<9.7 GeV/c^{2} and for the h^{'} mass M_{h^{'}}<M_{A^{'}}, where ϵ is the mixing strength between the standard model and the dark photon and α_{D} is the coupling of the dark photon to the dark Higgs boson. Our limits are the first in this mass range.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Masticatory function declines with age or disease, implicating a poor chewing efficiency and an often-unconscious change for a less healthy, yet easy to chew diet. Timely screening of masticatory function may foster an early-onset diagnosis and potential treatment. The aim of this study was to compare alternative diagnostic tools for masticatory function to a Jelly-scan test. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients aged 70 years and older who were hospitalised for rehabilitation were recruited for this study. A total of four different tests for masticatory function were administered. The Japanese Society of Gerodontology glucose extraction test (Jelly-scan) was used as reference to compare a colour-changing gum test (Gum1-colour) as well as a mixing ability test with a visual (Gum2-visual) and opto-electronical (Gum2-digital) analyses. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to establish the discriminative value, kappa-values were used to estimate individual agreements and correlations were verified using Spearman's tests. RESULTS Sixty-one patients (Men n = 23, Women n = 38) aged 82.4 ± 6.8 years participated in the experiments. The average number of natural teeth was 16.5 ± 10.5, 34.4% of the participants wore removable dentures. For all tests, the sum of sensitivity and specificity was >150%. All test correlated with Jelly-scan (absolute Rho >0.5). With Jelly-scan 51 participants (83.6%) were diagnosed with "masticatory hypofunction". After reducing the cut-off value of the test from 100 mg/dL to 65 mg/dL, only 33 participants (54%) fulfilled the diagnosis. This post-hoc analysis increased the sensitivity of the Gum2-tests and the agreement to kappa >0.5 for all three tests. CONCLUSION All three tests can be considered useful screening alternatives. In its original version, Jelly-scan may tend to over-diagnose masticatory hypofunction, hence a novel cut-off with better agreement between tests is suggested.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term placement of prophylactic drains may result in retrograde infections. AIM To investigate the association between the timing of drain removal and clinical outcomes. METHODS This retrospective, single-centre cohort study evaluated 110 patients who underwent elective gastrointestinal or hepatopancreatobiliary surgery and developed subsequent organ/space surgical site infection (SSI) between 2016 and 2020. The difference between the culture-positive species of prophylactic drains and direct aspiration was evaluated; whether the prophylactic drains functioned effectively at the time of SSI diagnosis; and whether the empirical antibiotics administered before drainage were effective against all the detected bacteria. Finally, clinical outcomes were compared between early (i.e. cases wherein the prophylactic drain had already been removed or replaced at the time of SSI diagnosis) and late (removal after diagnosis) drain removal. FINDINGS The prophylactic drains functioned effectively in only 27 (25%) patients at the time of SSI diagnosis. Due to the results of direct aspiration cultures, 43% of patients required antibiotic escalation. The median time to drain removal or first replacement was seven postoperative days. The early removal group included 43 patients (39%). Compared with early removal, late removal resulted in a higher frequency of vancomycin use (7.0% vs 22.4%; P = 0.037). CONCLUSION Prolonged prophylactic drain placement is associated with complicated infections requiring vancomycin; therefore, the drains should be removed as soon as possible. Additionally, obtaining the cultures of direct aspiration should be actively considered, as escalation of antimicrobial therapy is often performed based on culture results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few prospective cohort studies have evaluated the relationship between dairy product intake frequency and risk of osteoporotic fractures in Asians. This study aimed to investigate the association between habitual dairy product intake and risk of osteoporotic fractures. DESIGN Secondary analysis of prospective cohort study. SETTING Five municipalities of Japan. PARTICIPANTS This study included 1,429 postmenopausal Japanese women (age ≥45 years at baseline). MEASUREMENTS Baseline milk-intake frequency was obtained using nurse-administered questionnaires. Intakes of yogurt and cheese, and estimated calcium intake, were assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Osteoporotic fracture was defined as a clinical fracture diagnosed using radiography. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS Over a median follow-up period of 15.1 years (interquartile range [IQR], 10.1-15.4 years; total, 18,118 person-years), 172 women sustained at least one osteoporotic fracture. The proportions of participants with milk intakes <1, 1, and ≥2 cups/d were 34.4%, 48.0%, and 17.6%, respectively. After adjustment for age, frequency of yogurt intake, frequency of cheese intake, body mass index, history of osteoporotic fractures, and frequency of natto intake, the HRs compared with that for milk intake <1 cup/d were 0.71 (95% CI: 0.51-0.98) and 0.57 (95% CI: 0.35-0.92) for 1 cup/d and ≥2 cups/d, respectively. After adjustment for bone mineral density, HR significance for milk intakes ≥2 cups/d remained significant. Yogurt and cheese intakes were not related to the risk of osteoporotic fractures. CONCLUSION High habitual milk intake, but not a habitual yogurt or cheese intake is associated with a decreased risk of osteoporotic fractures, independent of bone mineral density, in postmenopausal Japanese women.

Abstract
PURPOSE Japan, with an increasing number of elderly people needing long-term care in a super-aged society, urgent needs to develop the clinical guidelines on implant maintenance for elderly people with declining independence. The purpose is to categorize the troubles encountered in the care of patients with dental implants and to indicate actual practices and points of note. METHODS From the members of the Japanese Society of Oral Implantology, 12 expert panelists who were experienced with many problems of implant maintenance during dental visits and were familiar with their solutions were selected. Through repeated discussions in the many panel meetings, the problems of implant maintenance during dental visits were distilled. RESULTS During a dental visit, the oral cavity, general conditions, and background of elderly patients who cannot orally care for themselves must be grasped, and medical staff, care managers, and patients should understand the changes in these factors as time goes by. The solutions and responses that can be made differ greatly depending on the medical care facilities, the environment, differences in the experience of medical staff, and the patient's background. Thus, it is necessary to select safe treatments appropriate to each situation. CONCLUSIONS This paper features many opinions based on clinical experiences. However, clinical guidelines on implant management during dental visits should be formulated in the future based on the accumulation of evidence through the implementation of clinical research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between oral health management (OHM) by dental hygienists and the occurrence of pneumonia, and determine the effectiveness of OHM in pneumonia prevention. BACKGROUND In long-term care facilities in Japan, the need for professional OHM is increasing with an increase in the number of severely debilitated residents. MATERIALS AND METHODS A 1-year prospective multicentre cohort study was conducted using data from 504 residents (63 men; mean age: 87.4 ± 7.8 years) in Japanese long-term care facilities. Basic information, medical history, willingness to engage in oral hygiene behaviour, need for OHM and oral conditions were investigated at baseline. In addition, information on the occurrence of pneumonia was collected using a follow-up survey after one year. A Poisson regression analysis with robust standard errors was conducted, with pneumonia as the dependent variable, and factors associated with OHM and pneumonia occurrence as explanatory variables. RESULTS Overall, 349 (69.2%) residents required OHM by dental hygienists during that year of follow-up. Of those, 238 (68.2%) were provided with OHM, and 18 (7.5%) developed pneumonia. Among the 111 patients (31.8%) who were not provided with OHM, 21 (18.9%) developed pneumonia. The OHM group had lower pneumonia rates than the non-OHM group (prevalence rate ratio: 0.374; 95% CI: 0.210-0.665). CONCLUSION Oral health management by dental hygienists was associated with a lower incidence of pneumonia among residents of long-term care facilities, underlining the importance of professional OHM for such individuals. It is recommended that OHM be practised routinely in long-term care facilities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Under clinical development for patients with growth hormone deficiency, JR-142 is a long-acting growth hormone with a half-life extended by fusion with modified serum albumin. We conducted a Phase 1 study to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles of once-weekly subcutaneous administrations of JR-142. The study consisted of two parts: an open-label single ascending dosing study (Part 1), and a randomized, placebo-controlled, assessor-blinded multiple ascending dosing study (Part 2). DESIGN A total of 31 healthy Japanese male participants were enrolled. In Part 1, seven of them received a single subcutaneous injection of JR-142 each at dosages of 0.15 mg/kg (n = 1), 0.25 mg/kg (n = 2), 0.5 mg/kg (n = 2), or 1.0 mg/kg (n = 2). In Part 2, one weekly subcutaneous injection of JR-142 at 0.25 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg or a placebo were given for four weeks to each of the other 24 participants (six in each group). Plasma JR-142 and serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations were measured for PK and PD assessments. Safety was evaluated on the basis of adverse events (AEs), laboratory tests, and other measures. RESULTS JR-142 induced dose-dependent increases in the maximum plasma JR-142 concentration (Cmax) and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to τ (AUC0-τ). A similar dose-response relationship was observed in serum IGF-1 concentrations. All trough IGF-1 levels were well sustained one week after the final administrations of JR-142 at the three dosages, while the peak concentrations of IGF-1 remained mildly elevated. No serious AEs were observed, and laboratory tests, including assessment of anti-drug antibodies, uncovered no significant safety issues. CONCLUSIONS Once-weekly subcutaneous injections of JR-142 produced positive dose-dependent PK and PD profiles over the dosage range. Drug accumulation was observed after the four-week administration period but did not raise safety concerns, indicating that JR-142 is well-tolerated in healthy participants. The PD profiles observed in terms of IGF-1 concentrations were also positive, and we believe the encouraging results of this study warrant substantiation in further clinical trials in patients with GHD. ETHICS This clinical study was conducted at one investigational site in Osaka, Japan, where the clinical study and the non-clinical data of JR-142 were reviewed and approved by its Institutional Review Board on 9th May 2019. The study was conducted in compliance with the approved study protocol, the Declaration of Helsinki, 1964, as revised in 2013, and Good Clinical Practice.

Abstract
Magnetic reconnection in laser-produced magnetized plasma is investigated by using optical diagnostics. The magnetic field is generated via the Biermann battery effect, and the inversely directed magnetic field lines interact with each other. It is shown by self-emission measurement that two colliding plasmas stagnate on a midplane, forming two planar dense regions, and that they interact later in time. Laser Thomson scattering spectra are distorted in the direction of the self-generated magnetic field, indicating asymmetric ion velocity distribution and plasma acceleration. In addition, the spectra perpendicular to the magnetic field show different peak intensity, suggesting an electron current formation. These results are interpreted as magnetic field dissipation, reconnection, and outflow acceleration. Two-directional laser Thomson scattering is, as discussed here, a powerful tool for the investigation of microphysics in the reconnection region.

Abstract
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 1(CLN1 disease) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by genetic defects of palmitoyl protein thioesterase-1(PPT1), leading to accumulation of lipofuscin granules in brain and progressive neurodegeneration. Psychomotor regression, seizures, loss of vision, and movement disorder begin in infancy and result in early death. Currently, no disease-modifying therapy is available. We report a 68-month-old boy with CLN1 treated on a compassionate use basis weekly for 26 months with a PPT1 enzyme fused to an anti-insulin receptor antibody (AGT-194), thereby enabling penetration of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). During treatment, no side effects were observed, while seizure frequency decreased, life quality improved, and the boy's general condition remained stable. This case documents for the first time that treatment of CLN1 is principally feasible by an intravenous BBB penetrating enzyme replacement therapy using PPT1 fused with the human insulin receptor. Monitoring of side effects raised no unacceptable or unexpected safety concerns.Observed improvement of life quality related to ameliorated epilepsy control raises hope that further robust clinical trials including patients in earlier stages of disease will show positive results.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for coronary artery disease (CAD) are emerging as a potential method to improve cardiovascular risk prediction. Questions remain about their applicability to diverse populations as well as their correlation with coronary histopathology.
Purpose
To assess whether high genetic risk associates with histopathologic coronary plaque morphology.
Methods
We assessed 122 known CAD risk loci in 954 Black and White subjects within our sudden death registry to generate a PRS. The cohort was divided into quintiles according to z-score-standardized PRS, both in a race-stratified fashion and in the pooled sample. Detailed histopathologic examination of the coronary arteries was performed in all subjects.
Results
Subjects in the highest PRS quintile exhibited more severe atherosclerosis compared to subjects in the lowest quintile, with greater mean cross-sectional luminal narrowing (71.5% (95% CI, 66.6%-76.5%) vs. 56.6% (95% CI, 51.1%-62.1%); adjusted p<0.001; Figure 1) and a higher frequency of calcification (adjusted OR 2.19; 95% CI 1.31–3.68; p=0.003) after adjustment for the first 10 principal components, age, sex, and race. Higher z-score-standardized PRS was predictive for the finding of severe atherosclerosis (i.e., ≥75% cross-sectional luminal narrowing) even after additional controlling for traditional CAD risk factors including hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia (adjusted OR 1.39; 95% CI 1.19–1.63; p<0.001; Figure 2). Among Black subjects, higher PRS was associated with higher odds of plaque rupture (adjusted OR 1.31; 95% CI 1.03–1.66; p=0.03) and predicted CAD-associated cause of death among subjects younger than 50 years old (adjusted OR 1.26; 95% CI 1.01–1.58; p=0.04).
Conclusions
This is the first autopsy study investigating associations between PRS and atherosclerotic plaque morphology at a histopathologic level. Our pathological analysis suggests PRS correlates with plaque burden and coronary artery calcification and may be useful as a method for CAD risk stratification, especially in younger subjects.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In clinical practice, we often encounter the patients with sarcoidosis showing relatively high in the normal range of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) value.
Purpose
We aimed to examine the serum ACE value of the patients with sarcoidosis and determine the new cut-off value for detecting the patients with sarcoidosis.
Methods and results
We retrospectively examined all 3781 subjects (51.1% men, 60.1±17.0 y.o.) in whom ACE was measured for any reasons including suspected sarcoidosis between 2009 and 2020 in our hospital. Of 293 patients with sarcoidosis, 101, 212, 84, and 88 were diagnosed as sarcoidosis in heart, lung, skin, and eyes, respectively. After excluding 477 patients taking ACE inhibitor and/or immunosuppression agent or those with any diseases affecting serum ACE levels, we analyzed 3304 subjects including 215 with sarcoidosis. Serum ACEs were 19.6 IU/L [IQR, 15.1–31.5] in the subjects with sarcoidosis and 10.7 [8.4–16.5] in those without (P<0.01). In ROC curve analysis of ACE for diagnosis of sarcoidosis, the cut-off point was 14.7 IU/L and the AUC was 0.865. When we used the current cut-off of 21.4 or new cut-off value of 14.7, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy were shown in Table. Finally, they were divided into four groups based on the presence of cardiac and/or extra cardiac sarcoidosis, ACE values in Group A, B, C, and D were 17.9, 20.9, 18.6, and 10.7, respectively (Figure 1).
Conclusion(s)
In the current cut-off value of serum ACE, sensitivity for detecting sarcoidosis was comparatively low, though positive predictive value was low when the new-cut-off value was used in our study. Further examinations may be needed for the patients suspected sarcoidosis with relatively high ACE in the normal range.

Abstract
AIMS Aortic diseases (ADs), including aortic dissection, aortic aneurysm, and aortic rupture, are fatal, with extremely high mortality rates. A body shape index (ABSI), an anthropometric measure calculated as waist circumference adjusted by height and weight, improves the predictive capacity for mortality. However, whether ABSI is a risk factor for AD-related mortality in the general population remains unclear. METHODS We used a nationwide database of 630,842 individuals (aged 40-75 years) who participated in the annual "Specific Health Check and Guidance in Japan" between 2008 and 2010. RESULTS During the follow-up period of 3.8 years, 159 AD-related deaths occurred, including 105 aortic dissections and 54 aortic aneurysm ruptures. The subjects were divided into three groups based on ABSI tertiles. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that the 3rd tertile (with the highest ABSI) had the greatest risk among the three groups. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis demonstrated that ABSI was significantly associated with AD-related death after adjusting for confounding risk factors. Neither waist circumference nor body mass index consistently predicted AD-related death in the multivariate model. The prediction capacity was significantly improved by the addition of ABSI to the confounding risk factors. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated for the first time that ABSI, a surrogate marker for abdominal visceral fat tissue, was associated with AD-related deaths in the general population, suggesting the importance of central adiposity in the development of AD.

Abstract
The Perpendicular Period and Phase Scanning (P3S) method can evaluate the uniformity of a laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS). P3S assesses the uniformity of LIPSS using the standard deviation of the peak period and the average of the phase difference in the direction perpendicular to LIPSS. The P3S method demonstrates that LIPSS formed by two-color double-pulse irradiation is reduced to a quarter of the period dispersion, and the average phase difference of LIPSS is also reduced compared to the single-pulse irradiation. In addition, a 3D electromagnetic particle-in-cell simulation was performed to evaluate the possibility of an improved uniformity of LIPSS. The results confirm that the two-color double-pulse irradiation produces a uniform LIPSS and validates the effectiveness of the P3S method to assess the uniformity of LIPSS.
