Abstract
INTRODUCTION To compare the computed tomography (CT) number for paediatric cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and visualisation score of the three-dimensional (3D) images using the conventional T-shaped extended tube (T-tube) and spiral flow-generating extended tube (spiral-tube) connected between the contrast injector and cannula. METHODS In total, 108 patients suspected to have congenital heart disease (CHD) were considered for inclusion. We utilised the T-tube for intravenous contrast and spiral-tube in 54 patients each. Observers individually inspected randomized volume rendering images of the internal thoracic artery, each acquired from the with or without spiral-tube groups, using a four-point scale. We compared the mean CT number of the ascending aorta (AAO) and pulmonary artery (PA), contrast noise ratio (CNR), CT number for the AAO and PA enhancement ratio, and the visualisation scores between the groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in patient characteristics between the with or without spiral-tube groups (p > 0.05). The mean CT number ±standard deviation for the AAO and PA, and the CNR without or with spiral-tube groups were 441.2 ± 89.2 and 489.8 ± 86.1 HU for the AAO, 436.3 ± 100.6 and 475.3 ± 85.2 HU for the PA, and 9.5 ± 2.2 and 10.8 ± 2.4 for the CNR, respectively (p < 0.05). In the spiral-tube group, the CT number, CNR, and visualisations score of the 3D images were significantly higher for the AAO and PA than those in the T-tube group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The spiral-tube proved to be beneficial in improving the CT number for the AAO and PA, CNR, and visualisation score compared with the conventional T-tube during paediatric CCTA. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The spiral-tube may allow the visualisation of smaller blood vessels than those visualised by the conventional T-tube for paediatric patients in CCTA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The standard diagnosis of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is based on the following: 1) symptoms of HF, 2) preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF, >50%), and 3) presence of LV diastolic dysfunction confirmed by echocardiography or cardiac catheterisation. However, there are limits to the diagnostic accuracy of individual parameters, and what cut-off values should be applied and how they should be combined remain unclear. Diagnostic algorithms for HFpEF such as the HFA-PEFF algorithm and the H2FPEF score have been proposed; however, previous validation studies were conducted in stable chronic HF and did not include an invasive haemodynamic assessment. Thus, the diagnostic accuracy for HFpEF lacked robustness. Moreover, information on their applicability in the Asian population is limited.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate these scores' diagnostic validity for HFpEF in Japanese patients recently hospitalised due to acute decompensated HF.
Methods
We examined patients with HFpEF recently hospitalised with acute decompensated HF whose HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores could be calculated at discharge from a nationwide HFpEF-specific multicentre registry (HFpEF group) and control patients who underwent echocardiography to investigate the cause of dyspnoea in our hospital (Non-HFpEF group). We calculated the HFA-PEFF and the H2FPEF scores among the studied population. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) were computed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of these scores.
Results
The studied population included 372 consecutive patients (194 HFpEF group and 178 Non-HFpEF group; HFpEF prevalence, 52%). The HFA-PEFF score classified 155 (42%) of all patients into the high likelihood category (5–6 points) and only 19 (5%) into the low likelihood category (0–1 point). A high HFA-PEFF score could diagnose HFpEF with a high specificity of 84% and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 82%, and a low HFA-PEFF score could rule out HFpEF with a high sensitivity of 99% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 89%. The H2FPEF score classified 86 (23%) of all patients into the high likelihood category (6–9 points) and 84 (23%) into the low likelihood category (0–1 point). HFpEF could be diagnosed with a high H2FPEF score (specificity, 97%; PPV, 94%) or ruled out with a low H2FPEF score (sensitivity, 97%; NPV, 93%). The diagnostic accuracy for the HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores was 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78–0.86) and 0.89 (95% CI 0.86–0.93), respectively, by the AUC of the ROC curve (P=0.004) (Figure 1A). In the HFA-PEFF sub-scores, the functional score showed little diagnostic value, while the morphological and biomarker scores showed moderate diagnostic value (Figure 1B).
Conclusions
The H2FPEF score may be more useful than the HFA-PEFF score in diagnosing HFpEF in Japanese patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD) sometimes are complicated with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the impact of AF and the use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) on the prognosis of AAD remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the prognostic impact of AF and OAC therapy in patients with type B AAD.
Methods
Consecutive patients diagnosed with type B AAD between January 2010 and December 2020 in our university hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into 2 groups based on the concomitance with or without AF. The primary endpoint was set as major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), including all-cause death, enlargement of aortic diameter, aortic ruptures, and cerebral infarction. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were constructed, and Cox proportional hazards analysis was performed to identify independent predictors of clinical events at 1 year.
Results
A total of 146 patients diagnosed with type B AAD were enrolled, with a mean age of 66±12 years, and 81% of male. Thirty-two patients (22%) experienced MACEs during 272±142 days-observation. Concomitant AF was observed in 27 patients (18%). In the Kaplan-Meier curve analysis, the patients with AF showed significantly higher events than those without AF (log-lank p<0.001). In the multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, presence of AF (HR: 2.402, 95% CI: 1.099–4.978 p=0.029), maximum descending aorta diameter (HR: 1.0366, 95% CI: 1.005–1.064 p=0.023), and age>75 years (HR: 2.635, 95% CI: 1.268–5.388 p=0.011) were independent predictors of MACEs. Regarding OAC in patients with AF, Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that usage of OAC was associated with a higher incidence of MACEs than those without (log-rank, p=0.036)
Conclusion
Presence of AF, enlargement of descending aorta diameter, and age were independent predictors of future MACEs in patients with type B AAD. Additionally, usage of OAC is associated with MACEs in patients with type B AAD complicated with AF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
A metabolomic study in the human heart suggested a pivotal role of amino acid (AA) metabolism in fatty acid oxidation, which is dysregulated in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure. We previously reported that aberrant up-regulation of AMP deaminase 3 (AMPD3) impairs cardiac energetics in T2DM hearts, and AMPD3 was recently shown to be activated by fasting and to promote AA metabolism and fatty acid oxidation in skeletal muscle. A sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) has been shown to augment systemic AA metabolism, but its effect on cardiac AA metabolism remains unknown.
Purpose
We hypothesized that AMPD3 has a role in AA and lipid metabolism in cardiomyocytes and that the protective effect of an SGLT2i in diabetic hearts is mediated by modification of AA and lipid metabolism.
Methods and results
Proteomic analyses of AMPD3 immunoprecipitates in rat hearts revealed that AMPD3 interacted with the E1α and E2 components of the BCKDH complex, a rate-limiting enzyme of branched-chain AA (BCAA) catabolism. Immunoblotting using subcellular fractions revealed that BCKDH localized not only in the mitochondria matrix but also in the cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and that AMPD3 interacted with BCKDH in the cytosol and ER. Despite comparable expression of BCKDH components and phosphorylation of E1α at Ser293, significant accumulation of BCAA was observed in T2DM rats (OLETF; 317±30 nmol/g) compared to that in control rats (LETO; 213±16 nmol/g), and the accumulation of BCAA was accompanied by up-regulation of AMPD3 in the cytosol and ER by 98% and 231%, respectively. In cardiomyocytes, disruption of BCAA catabolism by knockdown of BCKDH-E1α resulted in a 5.8-fold increase in AMPD3 at the transcriptional level and blunted lipid droplet biogenesis in response to a long-chain fatty acid challenge. Next, myocardial infarction (MI) was induced in LETO and OLETF pretreated with empagliflozin (10 mg/kg/day, 14 days) or a vehicle. Pathway analysis of cardiac metabolites revealed arginine biosynthesis and BCAA metabolism as the most significantly changed pathways with empagliflozin, with BCAA (791±187 nmol/g), glutamate, glutamine and urea being significantly increased. Empagliflozin restored myocardial ATP and survival after MI in OLETF to levels comparable to those in LETO. Electron microscopy showed a significantly higher prevalence of myocardium lipid droplets in OLETF, which was further increased by empagliflozin.
Conclusions
The results support the hypotheses that imbalance of extra-mitochondrial AMPD3-BCKDH interaction underlies dysregulated BCAA metabolism in T2DM hearts and that activation of cardiac AA metabolism by an SGLT2i normalizes fatty acid overload through sequestration into intracellular lipid droplets.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that affects multiple organs. Cardiac involvement is a key determinant of poor clinical outcomes in the patients with sarcoidosis, as it causes congestive heart failure, conduction abnormalities, ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation (VT/VF), and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Although implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) are used to prevent SCD from VT/VF in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), the generalizability of the AHA/ACC/HRS guidelines for the Japanese CS patients remains unclear.
Purpose
We aimed to assess, among Japanese patients with CS, the ICD recommendations from the 2017 AHA/ACC/HRS Guidelines for Management of Patients with Ventricular Arrhythmias and the Prevention of Sudden Cardiac Death.
Methods
We examined 188 consecutive patients with CS in two tertiary hospitals between 1979 and 2020. The primary outcome was defined as a composite outcome involving SCD or ventricular arrhythmic events. Ventricular arrhythmic events were defined as either emergency treatment for VF or sustained VT, which included appropriate ICD therapy.
Results
During a median follow-up period of 5.68 (IQR: 4.87–6.70) years, the primary outcome occurred in 44 patients (23%), which included 6 cases of SCD and 38 cases of VT/VF. ICD implant was indicated based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≤35% (class I recommendation) in 62 patients, with an annualized event rate of 3.93%. A LVEF of >35% with a need for a permanent pacemaker (class IIa recommendation) was observed for 53 patients, with an annualized event rate of 2.54%. A LVEF of >35% with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) during cardiovascular magnetic resonance (class IIa recommendation) was observed for 62 patients, with an annualized event rate of 2.38% (Figure A). Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that patients with a class I recommendation for ICD implantation had a significant higher incidence of the primary outcome, compared to patients with a class IIa recommendation and patients with no indication for ICD implantation (P=0.03). However, there were no significant differences in the incidence of the primary outcome between patients with a LVEF of >35% and a need for a permanent pacemaker and patients with a class I recommendation (P=0.08) or patients with a LVEF of ≤35% (P=0.31). Moreover, there was no significant difference in the incidence of the primary outcome between patients with a LVEF of >35% and LGE on cardiovascular magnetic resonance and patients with a class I recommendation (P=0.054) or patients with a LVEF of ≤35% (P=0.22) (Figure B).
Conclusions
The American guideline recommendations for ICD implantation might be applicable to Japanese patients with CS. Implantation of an ICD may need to be considered in these patients if they require a permanent pacemaker or have LGE, regardless of LVEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Local impedance (LI) at a distal tip of the ablation catheter can indirectly measure catheter contact and tissue temperature during radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). LI decreases by RFCA, and a degree of LI drop is correlated with lesion size. However, data on the effects of catheter contact angle on lesion size and LI drop were scarce. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of catheter contact angle on lesion size and LI drop in a porcine experimental study.
Methods
Lesions were created on porcine myocardial left ventricles by the LI-sensing ablation catheter (IntellaNav MiFi OI®). Contact force (CF) was measured using pressure to current transducer (load cell). Radiofrequency ablation was performed with a power of 30 Watt and a duration of 30 seconds. CF (0g, 5g, 10g, 20g, and 30g) and catheter angle (30°, 45°, and 90°) were changed in each set (total 120 lesions, n=8 each). LI rise, LI drop by RF application, and lesion size (maximum lesion width, maximum surface width, and maximum lesion depth) were evaluated.
Results
There was no angular dependence in LI rise in all CF. The values of LI rise increased as CF increased. The LI drop also increased as CF increased in all contact angles. Regarding the difference of catheter angles, LI drop with 90° was lower than those with 30° and 45°in CF 10g, 20g, and 30g, respectively. Maximum lesion width and surface width were larger in 30° and 45° than those in 90°, whereas there were no differences in maximum lesion depth.
Conclusion
LI drop in 90° were significantly lower than those in 45° and 30°. Although lesion depths were not different among the three angles, the absolute values of LI drop were different. Caution should be exercised to comprehend the LI drop with catheter angles.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease that affects multiple organs. Among these, the presence of cardiac involvement is recognised as a determinant of worse clinical outcomes. Soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) is a potentially useful biomarker in the diagnosis and evaluation of disease severity in patients with sarcoidosis. However, it remains to be seen whether sIL-2R is associated with the severity and activity of disease in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS).
Purpose
The aims of this study were to investigate whether sIL-2R was associated with clinical outcomes and to clarify the relationship between sIL-2R levels and disease activity evaluated by 18F-fluorideoxyglucose in positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in patients with CS.
Methods
We examined 101 consecutive patients with CS who were admitted to our University HospitalbetweenMay 2003 and February 2020. Patients who had no data of serum sIL-2R levels before initiation of immunosuppressive therapy (n=18) were excluded. Ultimately, 83 patients were examined in this study. The primary outcome was a composite of advanced atrioventricular block (AVB), ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF), heart failure hospitalisation, and all-cause death. Inflammatory activity in the myocardium and lymph nodes were assessed by18F-FDG PET/CT. We used a published program to analyse the cardiac metabolic activity (CMA), and total lymph node glycolysis (TLyG), which are quantitative measures of FDG volume-intensity.
Results
During a median follow-up period of 2.96 (interquartile range 2.24–4.27) years, the primary outcome occurred in 24 patients (29%), including 1 advanced AVB, 13 VT/VF, 5 hospitalisations for heart failure, and 5 all-cause deaths. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that the primary outcome occurred more frequently in patients with higher sIL-2R levels (>538 U/mL, the median) than in those with lower sIL-2R levels (Figure). A multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that a higher sIL-2R level was independently associated with an increased subsequent risk of adverse events (hazard ratio 3.71, 95% confidence interval 1.63–8.44, p=0.002), even after adjustments for age, plasma B-type natriuretic peptide, estimated glomerular filtration rate, left ventricular ejection fraction, and late gadolinium enhancement, which are known to be strong determinants of worse clinical outcomes in patients with CS (Table). Furthermore, sIL-2R levels were significantly correlated with TLyG, the inflammatory activity in lymph nodes (r=0.346, p=0.003) but not with CMA, the inflammatory activity in myocardium (r=0.131, p=0.27).
Conclusions
Increased sIL-2R is associated with worse long-term clinical outcomes accompanied by increased systemic inflammatory activity in CS patients. These findings suggest the importance of assessing sIL-2R as a surrogate marker for further risk stratification in these patients.

Abstract
Trifluridine (FTD)/tipiracil (TPI) plus bevacizumab (Bev) is a promising late-line treatment in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Although chemotherapy-induced neutropenia (CIN) is a well-known predictor of FTD/TPI efficacy, whether CIN is a predictive marker of efficacy for FTD/TPI + Bev remains unclear. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of FTD/TPI + Bev and the predictive markers of its efficacy. Clinical data of patients with mCRC who received FTD/TPI + Bev at the Cancer Institute Hospital between January 2017 and August 2020 were retrospectively collected. Disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety were assessed. In addition, subgroup analyses of prognostic and predictive efficacy markers were performed. In total, 94 patients (median age, 60.0 years; age range, 32–82 years; 37 men and 57 women) were included in the present study. The DCR was 44.7%, the median PFS time was 2.9 months (2.3–4.1 months) and the median OS time was 10.0 months (7.3–11.1 months). Grade 3 or 4 CIN within the first cycle of treatment occurred in 27.7% of patients, which was significantly associated with a longer PFS time than those who did not develop CIN [3.8 months (2.3–8.4 months) vs. 2.7 months (1.8–4.0 months); P=0.008]. Furthermore, the DCR was higher in patients with grade 3 or 4 CIN within the first cycle of treatment than those without CIN (61.5 vs. 38.2%; P=0.07). Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that grade 3 or 4 CIN within the first cycle of treatment are independent predictors for a longer PFS time (P=0.01). Taken together, the results of the present study suggest that grade 3 or 4 CIN within the first cycle of treatment are early predictors of the efficacy of FTD/TPI + Bev.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Deep learning approaches have shown high diagnostic performance in image classifications, such as differentiation of malignant tumors and calcified coronary plaque. However, it is unknown whether deep learning is useful for characterizing coronary plaques without the presence of calcification using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic performance of deep learning with a convolutional neural network (CNN) with that of radiologists in the estimation of coronary plaques. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 178 patients (191 coronary plaques) who had undergone CCTA and integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasonography (IB-IVUS) studies. IB-IVUS diagnosed 81 fibrous and 110 fatty or fibro-fatty plaques. We manually captured vascular short-axis images of the coronary plaques as Portable Network Graphics (PNG) images (150 × 150 pixels). The display window level and width were 100 and 700 Hounsfield units (HU), respectively. The deep-learning system (CNN; GoogleNet Inception v3) was trained on 153 plaques; its performance was tested on 38 plaques. The area under the curve (AUC) obtained by receiver operating characteristic analysis of the deep learning system and by two board-certified radiologists was compared. RESULTS With the CNN, the AUC and the 95% confidence interval were 0.83 and 0.69-0.96, respectively; for radiologist 1 they were 0.61 and 0.42-0.80; for radiologist 2 they were 0.68 and 0.51-0.86, respectively. The AUC for CNN was significantly higher than for radiologists 1 (p = 0.04); for radiologist 2 it was not significantly different (p = 0.22). CONCLUSION DL-CNN performed comparably to radiologists for discrimination between fatty and fibro-fatty plaque on CCTA images. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The diagnostic performance of the CNN and of two radiologists in the assessment of 191 ROIs on CT images of coronary plaques whose type corresponded with their IB-IVUS characterization was comparable.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Can the gas-liquid interface organ culture system that achieved in vitro spermatogenesis in mice also support in vitro spermatogenesis in human adult testis?
Summary answer
Although the progression of spermatogenesis was not observed, germ cells were maintained without the degeneration of the architecture in both fresh and cryopreserved testicular tissues.
What is known already
Although the research on in vitro spermatogenesis have been conducted for 100 years, only the organ culture system using gas-liquid interface method achieved in vitro spermatogenesis in mice. It has not been verified whether this culture system can be applied to other mammals including humans and induce spermatogenesis.
Study design, size, duration
Testicular tissue was obtained from the transgender patients receiving sex reassignment surgery. Testicular specimens were either immediately processed for cultivation or cryopreserved, using a vitrification freezing protocol. Organ culture of testicular fragments was performed in three different media for a maximum period of 3 weeks to evaluate the short-term changes in the cultured tissues (viability, proliferation and maintenance of germ and somatic cells).
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Fresh and cryopreserved-thawed testis fragments (1–2 mm3) were cultured using the organ culture system in alpha-MEM with knock-out serum replacement (K group), alpha-MEM with lipid-rich BSA (A group) and DMEM with FBS (D group). Luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone and testosterone were supplemented. The number of germ cells (using DDX4), proliferative activity of germ cells (using EdU assay) and intratubular cell apoptosis (by TdT-mediated dUTP Nick End Labeling) were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining weekly.
Main results and the role of chance
The architecture of the seminiferous tubules was maintained until the second week of culture in both the fresh and the cryopreserved culture group. The number of DDX4-positive germ cells per seminiferous tubule in groups D, K, and A was 49 ± 24, 55 ± 21, 50 ± 26 cells/tubule in 1 day, 32 ± 13, 42 ± 7, 36 ± 21 cells/tubule in 1week, respectively. The numbers gradually decreased to 26 ± 8, 24 ± 6 and 27 ± 18 cells/tubule, in 2 weeks, respectively, with no difference among the groups. The number of intratubular EdU-positive cells of groups D, K, and A was 0.2 ± 0.2, 2.8 ± 2.1, 1.1 ± 0.8 cells/tubule at 1 day, 0.1 ± 0.2, 0.5 ± 0.6, 0.3 ± 0.6 cells/tubule at 1 week, respectively. The values were 0.01, 0.05, and 0.03 at 2 weeks. Thus, EdU-positive cells drastically decreased from the first week of culture. The number of DDX4-positive germ cells and the intratubular EdU-positive cells in the cryopreserved culture group was not different from that in the fresh culture group.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Current organ culture systems are incomplete, being unable to induce human in vitro spermatogenesis. Further research is needed to improve culture condition with the aim of producing fertile sperm of infertile adult male patients.
Wider implications of the findings: Our organ culture system could maintain testis structure and germ cells. By using the testis tissues of the transgender patients, which are available with their consent, we will promote the investigation of the culture condition necessary for germ cell proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Familial mediterranean fever (FMF), an autoinflammatory disease, is characterized by periodic fever and serositis. An MEFV gene mutation has been identified as the cause of FMF. Recently, patients with MEFV gene mutations and chronic gastrointestinal mucosal inflammation mimicking inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have been reported. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the clinical characteristics of patients with IBD unclassified (IBDU) with MEFV gene mutations. METHODS MEFV gene analysis was performed on 8 patients with IBDU among 710 patients with IBD who had been treated at Kyorin University Hospital from April 2016 to December 2018. Clinical manifestations, endoscopic findings, and serological markers were also analyzed. RESULTS The average of the 8 patients with IBDU (3 men, 5 women) was 32.7 ± 6.4 years (range 26-76 years). Their symptoms comprised diarrhea (n = 8, 100%), hematochezia (n = 3, 37.5%), abdominal pain (n = 3, 37.5%), high fever (n = 2, 16.5%), and other periodic symptoms (n = 2, 16.5%). MEFV gene mutation was confirmed in 4/8 of these patients. Colonoscopy showed various mucosal lesions, rectal sparing, right side dominant colitis, pseudopolyposis, and granular protrusions. Colchicine was administered to 5 of the 8 patients (4 with and 1 without MEFV mutation) who were resistant to conventional treatment for ulcerative colitis. Clinical and endoscopic improvement was observed in all of 5 patients treated with colchicine. CONCLUSIONS Some patients diagnosed as having IBDU have enterocolitis related to MEFV gene mutation and respond to colchicine therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Primary tumor location and RAS and BRAF V600E mutations are predictors of the efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. However, there are limited reports on their effects on the outcomes of third-line chemotherapy with EGFR inhibitors in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected the clinical data of KRAS exon 2 wild type (WT) mCRC patients treated with EGFR inhibitor monotherapy or EGFR inhibitor plus irinotecan as third-line chemotherapy. The association between primary tumor location, RAS (KRAS exon 3, 4 or NRAS), BRAF V600E, and PIK3CA mutational status, and treatment outcome was evaluated. RESULTS A total of 72 patients were included in this study. In multivariate analysis, RAS (p=0.004) and BRAF mutations (p=0.00008) were independent factors for shorter PFS. Poor performance status (p=0.01) and BRAF mutation (p=0.00002) were independent factors for shorter OS, whereas primary tumor location and PIK3CA mutation did not influence survival. CONCLUSION Additional analysis of RAS and BRAF mutations could contribute to the selection of patients who are likely to benefit from third-line EGFR inhibitors, regardless of primary tumor location.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different approaches are used to treat resectable tumours in patients having adenocarcinoma at the oesophagogastrointestinal junction (EGJ) or in the stomach. However, there is limited information about treatment efficacy for patients at metastatic stage. A recent molecular analysis of upper gastrointestinal tract adenocarcinoma revealed that the anatomical location can influence the molecular backgrounds of tumours. This study sought to elucidate whether different therapeutic approaches should be used for EGJ tumours relative to those in the stomach. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted at a single institute in Japan. Patients having metastatic or recurrent adenocarcinoma in the EGJ or stomach who underwent platinum doublet chemotherapy between January 2007 and August 2014 were enrolled. Patients in the EGJ tumour group had tumours having an epicentre within 2 cm proximal or 5 cm distal to the estimated anatomical EGJ and cardia. RESULTS Among 378 consecutively enrolled patients, 61 were grouped into the EGJ group and the remainder comprised the stomach group. The EGJ group had more men and lower incidence of diffuse type and Borrmann type IV tumours and peritoneum metastasis compared with the stomach group. The median overall survival of patients in the EGJ and stomach groups was similar (17.3 months (95% CI 13.5 to 23.2) vs 14.5 months (95% CI 13.3 to 16.4)). No statistically significant difference was observed in progression-free survival. Although the overall postprogression survival differed significantly between the EGJ and stomach groups (8.2 months (95% CI 5.7 to 12.7) vs 7.1 months (95% CI 6.1 to 7.8)), on grouping patients by histological type, the two groups exhibited similar postprogression survival. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that diffuse-type histology, higher serum CA19-9 levels and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios were independent poor prognostic factors. CONCLUSIONS Different clinicopathological features of EGJ adenocarcinoma were not associated with clinical outcomes of platinum doublet chemotherapy. Histological subtype rather than anatomical location has more significance for treatment decisions for advanced gastric cancers.

Abstract
We search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 dataset. Search results are presented for gravitational waves produced by cosmic string loop features such as cusps, kinks, and, for the first time, kink-kink collisions. A template-based search for short-duration transient signals does not yield a detection. We also use the stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density upper limits derived from the O3 data to constrain the cosmic string tension Gμ as a function of the number of kinks, or the number of cusps, for two cosmic string loop distribution models. Additionally, we develop and test a third model that interpolates between these two models. Our results improve upon the previous LIGO-Virgo constraints on Gμ by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude depending on the model that is tested. In particular, for the one-loop distribution model, we set the most competitive constraints to date: Gμ≲4×10^{-15}. In the case of cosmic strings formed at the end of inflation in the context of grand unified theories, these results challenge simple inflationary models.

Abstract
We search for gravitational-wave signals produced by cosmic strings in the Advanced LIGO and Virgo full O3 dataset. Search results are presented for gravitational waves produced by cosmic string loop features such as cusps, kinks, and, for the first time, kink-kink collisions. A template-based search for short-duration transient signals does not yield a detection. We also use the stochastic gravitational-wave background energy density upper limits derived from the O3 data to constrain the cosmic string tension Gμ as a function of the number of kinks, or the number of cusps, for two cosmic string loop distribution models. Additionally, we develop and test a third model that interpolates between these two models. Our results improve upon the previous LIGO-Virgo constraints on Gμ by 1 to 2 orders of magnitude depending on the model that is tested. In particular, for the one-loop distribution model, we set the most competitive constraints to date: Gμ≲4×10^{-15}. In the case of cosmic strings formed at the end of inflation in the context of grand unified theories, these results challenge simple inflationary models.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent advances in adjuvant chemotherapy for early colon cancer have widened physicians' recommendations on the regimen and duration (3 or 6 months) of the treatment. We conducted this prospective study to evaluate whether the 12-gene recurrence score (12-RS) assay affected physicians' recommendations on adjuvant treatment selection. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with stage IIIA/IIIB or stage II colon cancer were enrolled. After the patients discussed adjuvant treatment with their treating physicians, the physicians filled in the questionnaire before assay indicating the treatment recommendation. When the 12-RS assay results were available, the physicians again filled in the questionnaire after assay. The primary endpoint was the rate of change in treatment recommendations from before to after the assay, with a threshold rate of change being 20%. Patients with stage IIIA/B to II were enrolled in a ratio of 2 : 1. RESULTS Overall, the treatment recommendations changed in 40% of cases after obtaining 12-RS assay results. Recommendations were changed in 45% (80/178; 95% confidence interval, 37% to 53%; P < 0.001) and 30% (29/97; 95% confidence interval, 21% to 40%; P < 0.001) of patients with stage IIIA/B and II colon cancer, respectively. Patients with stage IIIA/B cancer had significantly more change than those with stage II cancer (P = 0.0148). From before to after the 12-RS assay, the percentage of patients whose physicians reported being confident in their treatment recommendations significantly increased from 54% to 81% in stage IIIA/B (P < 0.001) and from 65% to 83% in stage II (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Our study confirmed the usefulness of the 12-RS assay in aiding the physician-patient decision-making process for tailoring adjuvant chemotherapy for stage IIIA/B colon cancer.

Abstract
In situ femtosecond x-ray diffraction measurements and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study the liquid structure of tantalum shock released from several hundred gigapascals (GPa) on the nanosecond timescale. The results show that the internal negative pressure applied to the liquid tantalum reached -5.6 (0.8) GPa, suggesting the existence of a liquid-gas mixing state due to cavitation. This is the first direct evidence to prove the classical nucleation theory which predicts that liquids with high surface tension can support GPa regime tensile stress.

Abstract
This prospective trial revealed the additional diagnostic value of staging laparoscopy with contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography and indocyanine green-fluorescence imaging, detecting radiologically occult liver metastases and other occult metastases effectively for patients with high-risk resectable or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. The 2-year survival rate of patients without occult metastasis was significantly better than that of patients with occult metastasis. These favourable results for patients without occult metastasis indicate that an enhanced screening strategy and modern multidisciplinary treatment may improve the outcome even of patients affected by high-risk advanced pancreatic cancer.
State-of-the-art staging worth the effort

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) considered as the gold standard, we compared the diagnostic value of computed tomography angiography (CTA) and computed tomography-digital subtraction angiography (CT-DSA in hemodialysis (HD) patients suspected of having lower limb peripheral artery disease (PAD). METHODS In this retrospective study, we enrolled 220 HD patients with suspected PAD. CT-DSA images were obtained by subtracting unenhanced images from enhanced images. The research team calculated the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value (PPV, NPV), and recorded the diagnostic accuracy between the CTA and CT-DSA images using the DSA as gold standard. Visual evaluation of calcifications in the peripheral arteries were also compared between CTA and CT-DSA images. RESULTS At the above-knee level, the CTA AUC [95% confidence interval (CI)] was 0.68 (CI 0.64-0.72), sensitivity and specificity were 60 and 81%, PPV and NPV were 85 and 53%, and accuracy was 67%. Below the knee, these values were 0.66 (CI 0.62-0.70), 71 and 79%, 79 and 47%, and 66%. For CT-DSA, above-knee, the AUC [95% CI] was 0.88 (CI 0.85-0.91), sensitivity and specificity were 84 and 92%, PPV and NPV were 89 and 97%, and accuracy was 93%. Below the knee, these values were 0.95 (CI 0.93-0.97), 95 and 93%, 96 and 83%, and 93%. The scores for the visualization of calcification in the peripheral arteries was significantly higher for CT-DSA than CTA (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS CT-DSA helps to assess stenotic PAD with high calcification in the lower extremities of HD patients. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE On CT-DSA images, the severity of vascular calcification can be assessed for HD patients suspected of PAD of the lower extremities.

Abstract
The rare decay K_{L}→π^{0}νν[over ¯] was studied with the dataset taken at the J-PARC KOTO experiment in 2016, 2017, and 2018. With a single event sensitivity of (7.20±0.05_{stat}±0.66_{syst})×10^{-10}, three candidate events were observed in the signal region. After unveiling them, contaminations from K^{±} and scattered K_{L} decays were studied, and the total number of background events was estimated to be 1.22±0.26. We conclude that the number of observed events is statistically consistent with the background expectation. For this dataset, we set an upper limit of 4.9×10^{-9} on the branching fraction of K_{L}→π^{0}νν[over ¯] at the 90% confidence level.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We compared the diagnostic performance of morphological methods such as the major axis, the minor axis, the volume and sphericity and of machine learning with texture analysis in the identification of lymph node metastasis in patients with thyroid cancer who had undergone contrast-enhanced CT studies. METHODS We sampled 772 lymph nodes with histology defined tissue types (84 metastatic and 688 benign lymph nodes) that were visualised on CT images of 117 patients. A support vector machine (SVM), free programming software (Python), and the scikit-learn machine learning library were used to discriminate metastatic-from benign lymph nodes. We assessed 96 texture and 4 morphological features (major axis, minor axis, volume, sphericity) that were reported useful for the differentiation between metastatic and benign lymph nodes on CT images. The area under the curve (AUC) obtained by receiver operating characteristic analysis of univariate logistic regression and SVM classifiers were calculated for the training and testing datasets. RESULTS The AUC for all classifiers in training and testing datasets was 0.96 and 0.86, at the SVM for machine learning. When we applied conventional methods to the training and testing datasets, the AUCs were 0.63 and 0.48 for the major axis, 0.70 and 0.44 for the minor axis, 0.66 and 0.43 for the volume, and 0.69 and 0.54 for sphericity, respectively. The SVM using texture features yielded significantly higher AUCs than univariate logistic regression models using morphological features (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION For the identification of metastatic lymph nodes from thyroid cancer on contrast-enhanced CT images, machine learning combined with texture analysis was superior to conventional diagnostic methods with the morphological parameters. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Our findings suggest that in patients with thyroid cancer and suspected lymph node metastasis who undergo contrast-enhanced CT studies, machine learning using texture analysis is high diagnostic value for the identification of metastatic lymph nodes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a heterogenous, chronic inflammatory disorder driven by a combination of genetic, environmental, and microbiota-dependent risk factors. Mononuclear phagocytes (MNP) are crucial cells that maintain intestinal homeostasis. An important cytokine for MNP survival and function is granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Interestingly, several studies reported CD-associated genetic risk variants within the GM-CSF receptor and its downstream signaling components. Furthermore, high titers of autoantibodies specific to GM-CSF can be detected in CD patients. Taken together, this data suggests an important role for GM-CSF in abrogation of CD development in a subgroup of patients.
Aims
This study sought to investigate the function of GM-CSF autoantibodies in CD.
Methods
We retrospectively quantified and characterized GM-CSF autoantibodies in sera of 220 CD, 200 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients, and 220 healthy controls (HC) sampled at 3 time points prior to disease diagnosis and one time point after diagnosis. ELISA was used to determine GM-CSF autoantibody titers and isotypes followed by in vitro multiplexed mass cytometry (CyTOF) neutralization assays on peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Flow cytometry and CyTOF were used to map the profile of immune cells isolated from inflamed and non-inflamed CD mucosa.
Results
Our data demonstrates that GM-CSF autoantibodies are specific to CD, significantly elevated up to 7 years prior to diagnosis of disease, and correlate with disease location, severity, and complications at the time of diagnosis. Moreover, in contrast to GM-CSF autoantibodies in pulmonary alveolar proteinosis patients, CD-associated autoantibodies neutralize GM-CSF via specific recognition of post-translational modifications (PTM), affecting MNP function. Removal of PTM enabled GM-CSF to escape autoantibody binding and restored MNP response to GM-CSF in the presence of neutralizing antibodies, indicating a potential therapeutic avenue. Furthermore, we identified group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) as a major source of GM-CSF in the healthy intestinal tract, suggesting intriguing crosstalk of MNP and ILC3 across the GM-CSF-GM-CSFR axis.
Conclusions
Our results identify GM-CSF autoantibodies as predictive serological biomarker for CD in a subgroup of patients presenting with severe and complicated form of disease at the time of diagnosis. The presence of GM-CSF autoantibodies precedes the onset of CD by several years and likely abrogates homeostatic immune cell crosstalk involving ILC3 and MNP, suggesting the development of a pre-diseased state in CD patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To compare the radiation dose, diagnostic accuracy, and the resultant ablation procedures using 80 and 120-kVp cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) protocols with the same contrast-to-noise ratio in patients scheduled for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. METHODS This retrospective study was performed following institutional review board approval. We divided 140 consecutive patients who had undergone CCTA using a 64-MDCT scanner into two equal groups. Standard deviation (SD) of the CT number was set at 25 Hounsfield units (HU) for the 120-kVp protocol. To facilitate a reduction in radiation dose it was set at 40 HU for the 80 kVp protocol. We compared the two protocols with respect to the radiation dose, the diagnostic accuracy for detecting left atrial appendage (LAA) thrombi, matching for surface registration, and the resultant ablation procedures. RESULTS At 120 kVp, the dose length product (DLP) was 2.2 times that at 80 kVp (1269.0 vs 559.0 mGy cm, p < 0.01). The diagnostic accuracy for thrombus detection was 100% using both protocols. There was no difference between the two protocols with respect to matching for surface registration. The protocols did not differ with respect to the subsequent time required for the ablation procedures and the ablation fluoroscopy time, and the radiation dose (p = 0.54, 0.33, and 0.32, respectively). CONCLUSION For the same CNR, the DLP at 80 kVp (559.0 mGy cm) was 56% of that delivered at 120 kVp (1269.0 mGy cm). There was no reduction in diagnostic accuracy. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Maintaining CNR allows for a reduction in the radiation dose without reducing the image quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors, Bevacizumab (BEV), ramucirumab (RAM), and aflibercept (AFL), are widely used for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients who are treated with second-line chemotherapy. The difference in outcome between the three drugs has not been evaluated. In contrast to epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors, VEGF inhibitors have few candidate predictors of efficacy. METHODS Consecutive mCRC patients who were treated with second-line chemotherapy were retrospectively enrolled. Overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety were assessed. Subgroup analyses of prognostic and predictive efficacy markers were performed. RESULTS A total of 119 (41.2%), 107 (37.0%), and 63 patients (21.8%) were treated with FOLFIRI +BEV, RAM, or AFL, respectively. ORR, PFS, and OS showed no significant differences between three groups. However, the frequency of grade 3 or 4 adverse events (AEs) in the FOLFIRI +AFL group was significantly higher than that in the other groups (p < 0.001). Patients with grade 3 or 4 AEs, especially hypertension and neutropenia within the first four cycles of treatment had significantly longer PFS and OS than those without AEs, irrespective of treatment with VEGF inhibitors (p < 0.001). PFS in patients without prior BEV exposure was also significantly longer than that in patients with prior BEV exposure (p = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS Chemotherapeutic efficacy did not differ between the groups. Grade 3 or 4 AEs within the first four cycles of treatment and prior BEV exposure may be an effective predictor of treatment efficacy in mCRC patients administered VEGF inhibitors as second-line chemotherapy.

Abstract
The radiation environment in space is a complex mixture of particles of solar and galactic origin with a broad range of energies. In astronaut dose estimation, three sources must be considered: galactic cosmic radiation, trapped particles, and solar energetic particles (SEPs). The astronaut dose due to SEP exposure during a space mission is more difficult to estimate than the other components because the occurrence of a large solar particle event cannot be predicted by the current space weather research. Thus, several models have been proposed to estimate the worst-case scenario and/or the probability of the integral SEP fluence during a particular space mission, considering the confidence level, solar activity, and duration of the mission. In addition, recent investigations of the cosmogenic nuclide concentrations in tree rings and ice cores have revealed that the sun can cause solar particle events much larger than the largest event recorded in the modern solar observations. If such an extreme event occurs during a mission to deep space, astronauts may suffer from radiation doses in excess of the threshold value for some tissue reactions (0.5 Gy) and their career limit (0.6-1.2 Sv). This article reviews the recent progress made in space weather research that is useful for cosmic radiation dosimetry.

Abstract
Patients with locally advanced oral squamous cell cancer (LAOSCC) are treated with adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) following surgical ablation. This depends on the pathological risk factors and aims to reduce the risk of local recurrence and improve survival. Delivery of these aggressive treatments is, however, challenging particularly following major surgery. To inform the adaptations necessary to deliver gold-standard therapy, we aimed to describe real-world delivery of multimodality treatment in LAOSCC, in a UK population with high levels of disease incidence and low socioeconomic status. Patients with LAOSCC (T1-4 N1-3/T3-4 N0) who were treated between October 2014 and October 2016 and had a minimum follow up of 24 months were included. They were identified using the Somerset Cancer Register and data were collected through retrospective case note review. Approval was obtained from the audit departments at the relevant NHS institutions, and data were analysed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows version 24 (IBM Corp). The analysis included 129 patients with 82% having an initial performance status (PS) of 0-1. The most frequent change in PS was a one point drop (46%). Twenty of the 93 eligible patients (22%) underwent adjuvant CRT. A total of 37 (40%) began adjuvant CRT/RT within 42 days, and 79 (85%) within 56 days. A delay in initiating adjuvant therapy was associated with higher rates of complications and a longer postoperative hospital stay. Concordance between imaging and pathological nodal staging was poor (cK 0.223). PS frequently declines after complex surgical procedures and long postoperative recovery periods, leading to difficulties providing adjuvant treatments within the national guidance of 42 days. Frequent deviation from planned adjuvant therapies highlights the need for improved treatment strategies.

Abstract
Background
Vascular inflammation plays a fundamental role in most vascular diseases including atherosclerosis and vasculitis syndrome, in which arterial wall vascularization (AWV) frequently develops. Visualization of AWV is informative in detecting the vascular inflammation but is challenging. A new ultrasound technique (superb micro-vascular imaging [SMI]) allows the detection of extremely low-velocity flows. We examined an availability of SMI for assessment of the instability of atherosclerotic plaques and the activity of Takayasu arteritis (TA).
Methods and results
The study consists of two independent and consecutive parts A and B, examined in carotid stenosis (A) and TA (B), respectively. In part A, 12 patients with symptomatic severe carotid stenosis (CS group) scheduled for carotid endarterectomy were enrolled. In six of 12 patients, preoperative ultrasonography with SMI showed intraplaque neovascularization at the plaque shoulder. Postoperatively, histopathology confirmed the neovessels at the corresponding sites of visualized AWV. SMI had a sensitivity of 67%, specificity of 90% for detection of AWV in CS group. In SMI analysis, false positive findings were caused by motion artifact and arterial wall calcification, and a false negative finding is attributed by intraplaque hemorrhage. In part B, 10 patients with TA were enrolled. All patients underwent 18F-FDG-PET/CT, and its vascular uptake were compared with AWV detected by SMI. Bilateral common carotid arteries (CCA), internal carotid arteries and common iliac arteries were examined by SMI. Active vascular 18F-FDG uptake (max SUV >2.1) were found at five sites in three patients, which were not significantly correlated with the prevalence of macaroni sign, increase in C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Of note, SMI revealed AWV at five sites corresponding to uptake of 18F-FDG, with a sensitivity/specificity of 100% and 98%, positive predictive value 71%, and a negative predictive value 100%.
Conclusion
SMI enables visualization of AWV at vulnerable plaque in CS patients and at 18F-FDG positive sites in TA patients. SMI has potential as a modality to detect the vascular inflammation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
We recently reported that upregulated AMP deaminase (AMPD), via reduction in the tissue adenine nucleotide pool, contributes to exacerbation of diastolic dysfunction under pressure overload in OLETF, a rat model of obese type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Upregulated AMPD also possibly promotes xanthine oxidase (XO)-mediated ROS production, since AMPD deaminases AMP to IMP, which is further converted to inosine, providing substrates of XO, hypoxanthine and xanthine. Here, we examined the hypothesis that inhibition of XO ameliorates the pressure overload-induced diastolic dysfunction by suppression of ROS-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction and/or vascular dysfunction in T2DM rats.
Methods and results
Metabolomic analyses revealed that levels of xanthine and uric acid in the LV myocardium were significantly higher by 37% and 51%, respectively, in OLETF than in LETO, non-diabetic control rats, under the condition of phenylephrine-induced pressure overloading (200–230 mmHg). Myocardial XO activity in OLETF was 57.9% higher than that in LETO, which may be attributed to 31% higher level of inosine, a positive regulator of XO, in OLETF than in LETO. The activity of XO was significantly attenuated by administration of topiroxostat, an XO inhibitor at 0.5 mg/kg/day for 14 days. Pressure volume loop analyses showed that the pressure overloading resulted in significantly higher LVEDP in OLETF than in LETO (18.3±1.5 vs. 12.2±1.3 mmHg, p<0.05, n=7), though LVEDPs at baseline were comparable in OLETF and LETO (5.6±0.4 vs. 4.7±0.7 mmHg). Treatment with topiroxostat significantly suppressed the pressure overload-induced elevation of LVEDP in OLETF (18.3±1.5 vs. 11.3±1.1 mmHg, p<0.05) but not in LETO. Under the condition of pressure overloading, Ea/Ees, an index for ventricular-arterial coupling, was higher in OLETF than in LETO (2.3±0.3 vs. 1.6±0.3, p<0.05), and it was also improved by topiroxostat in OLETF (1.2±0.2, p<0.05). Myocardial ATP content was lower in OLETF than in LETO (2966±400 vs. 1818±171 nmol/g wet tissue, p<0.05), and treatment with topiroxostat significantly restored the ATP level (2629±307 nmol/g wet tissue). The LV myocardium of OLETF under pressure overload showed significantly higher level of malondialdehyde and 4-hydroxynonenal, an indicator of lipid peroxidation, than that of LETO. Measurement of oxygen consumption rate by Seahorse XFe96 Analyzer in mitochondria isolated from LV tissues revealed that state 3 respiration was significantly suppressed in OLETF by 43% compared to LETO, and it was restored by treatment with topiroxostat.
Conclusion
Both activity and substrates of XO are increased in T2DM hearts, in which upregulation of AMPD may play a role. Inhibition of XO ameliorates pressure overload-induced diastolic dysfunction and improves ventricular-arterial coupling in diabetic hearts, most likely through protection of mitochondrial function from ROS-mediated injury.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recently, an increasing attention has been paid to foot microcirculation in critical limb ischemia (CLI). Although skin perfusion pressure (SPP) is the most frequently used marker of microcirculation, SPP is often unmeasurable at the most ischemic site in the foot. A new ultrasound technique (superb micro-vascular imaging [SMI]) allows the detection of extremely low velocity flows and enables the quantitative verification as vascular index (VI). We examined the diagnostic value of SMI-based VI in assessing foot perfusion when planning endovascular treatment (EVT).
Methods
Consecutive 50 patients with CLI were enrolled. All cases underwent EVT for superficial femoral arteries. SMI-based VI of plantar, dorsal, medial heel, lateral heel and toe's area were obtained before and after EVT, and those were compared with SPP (plantar and dorsal) or ankle-brachial index (ABI) representing macrocirculation.
Results
Based on the six angiosomes concept, SMI enabled to visualize microcirculation in all subjects, but SPP was not feasible in 13% of all subjects at the most ischemic site. After EVT, ABIs were significantly increased from 0.64±0.19 to 0.85±0.27 (P=0.0003). Plantar SPP also increased from 39.6±20.4 mmHg to 58.5±27.1 mmHg (p=0.002). SMI-based VI significantly increased in each sites based on the six angiosomes concept. Of note, plantar SMI-based VI significantly increased from 5.1±3.2% to 10.6±6.6% (p<0.0001), suggesting improvement of foot perfusion. Plantar SMI-based VI was well correlated with plantar-SPP both before and after EVT (p=0.002, r=0.663). Plantar VI was also informative in showing a rapid improvement of foot perfusion during EVT.
Conclusion
SMI enabled to visualize the foot microcirculation on the basis of angiosomes concept. SMI has potential as an alternative to SPP.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Previous studies have demonstrated that plaque erosion is associated with less atheromatous plaque at both culprit and non-culprit lesion than other plaque types of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, the status of systemic atherosclerosis in patients with plaque erosion remains to be elucidated.
Purpose
To clarify if plaque erosion is associated with less systemic atherosclerosis than other plaque types of ACS.
Methods
A total of 239 consecutive patients with ACS who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the culprit lesion were enrolled. Patients were classified into either plaque erosion (PE, n=45) or non-plaque erosion (non-PE, n=194) including plaque rupture and calcified nodule based on OCT findings of the culprit lesions. The status of systemic atherosclerosis was assessed by the findings of carotid echography, the severity of aortic arch calcification (AAC; grade 0–3) on chest X-ray, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI).
Results
The maximum intima media thickness (IMT) was significantly thinner in the PE group than in the non-PE group (1.9±0.8 vs. 2.3±0.9 mm, p=0.023) (Panel A). The prevalence of heterogeneous plaque and calcified plaque was significantly lower in the PE group than in the non-PE group (25.0 vs. 50.4%, p=0.010, 18.8 vs. 38.5%, p=0.037, respectively). The prevalence of AAC grade was significantly different between the two groups with a tendency toward lower AAC grade in the PE group than the non-PE group (Panel B). The mean baPWV (1588.1±420.6 vs. 1686.5±363.5 cm/sec, p=0.186) and ABPI (1.1±0.1 vs. 1.1±0.1, p=0.270) was comparable between the two groups.
Conclusion
Plaque erosion was associated with less atherosclerosis in carotid artery and aortic arch than non-plaque erosion. These findings may help further clarify the distinct pathophysiology of plaque erosion.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with statins slows progression of atherosclerotic plaques and reduces cardiovascular events. The 2019 European Society of Cardiology guideline for the management of dyslipidaemias recommends the absolute LDL-C treatment target as <55mg/dL for very high-risk patients, <70 mg/dL for high-risk patients and <100 mg/dL for moderate-risk patients. However, the difference in plaque composition of coronary lesions according to these LDL-C levels remains to be elucidated.
Purpose
To investigate plaque morphologies according to LDL-C levels in statin-treated patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods
A total of 685 consecutive statin-treated patients with CAD, who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of culprit lesions were enrolled. The prevalence of vulnerable compositions in culprit plaques evaluated by OCT was compared among the groups of patients classified by LDL-C levels (<55, 55–70, 70–100, ≥100 mg/dL).
Results
LDL-C levels <55 mg/dL, <70 mg/dL and <100 mg/dL were observed in 6.3%, 21.8% and 63.9% of patients, respectively. The prevalence of thin-cap fibroatheroma was significantly different among the groups (P=0.014, Figure) with a trend toward lower prevalence in the lower two LDL-C groups than in the higher two LDL-C groups. A gradient with lower prevalence of thrombus in lower LDL-C groups was observed, although the statistical significance was not demonstrated (Figure). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of macrophage or cholesterol crystal among the groups.
Conclusions
Lower LDL-C level was associated with a trend toward lower prevalence of thin-cap fibroatheroma and thrombus in statin-treated patients with CAD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The association between the level of high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and coronary plaque characteristics in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) remains to be elucidated.
Purpose
To clarify the morphological characteristics of culprit lesion in patients with ACS according to the hsCRP levels using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods
A total of 215 consecutive patients with ACS, who underwent OCT imaging of culprit lesions were included. The patients were classified into either the higher hsCRP group (hsCRP ≥0.14 mg/dL, n=108) or the lower hsCRP group (hsCRP <0.14 mg/dL, n=107) according to the median preprocedural hsCRP level. The morphological characteristics of culprit lesion assessed by OCT were compared between the two groups.
Results
The higher hsCRP group had higher prevalence of insulin therapy (14 vs. 6%, p=0.037) and current smoker than the lower hsCRP group (37 vs. 18%, p=0.002). The prevalence of long lesion (≥25 mm, 67 vs. 53%, p=0.041) and fibrocalcific plaque (53 vs. 33%, p=0.003) was significantly higher in the higher hsCRP group than in the lower hsCRP group (Figure). On the other hand, the prevalence of plaque rupture (36 vs. 46%, p=0.174) and lipid-rich plaque (47 vs. 64%, p=0.011) was rather lower in the higher hsCRP group than in the lower hsCRP group (Figure). In a multivariate analysis, fibrocalcific plaque (odds ratio [OR]: 2.098, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.125–3.913, p=0.019), lesion length (mm, OR: 1.036, 95% CI: 1.010–1.061, p=0.004) and current smoker (OR: 2.757, 95% CI: 1.388–5.476, p=0.003) was independently associated with higher hsCRP level.
Conclusions
ACS patients with high hsCRP levels had more fibrocalcific plaque and longer lesion than those with low hsCRP levels. The association between high hsCRP levels and vulnerable characteristics of culprit plaque was not demonstrated.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
We prospectively collected device and heart rate data, i.e. heart rate variability (HRV), through remote monitoring (RM) of patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). Several studies have demonstrated usefulness of RM in implanted device patients, however, reports concerning the predictors of lethal ventricular arrhythmias are limited.
Purpose
The objective was to identify the predictors of lethal arrhythmic events (VT/VF).
Methods
Thirty-three patients (mean age: 50 years) with ICDs [with functionality of HRV analysis] were divided into 2 groups [VT/VF(+), VT/VF(−)]. Clinical, device (ventricular lead impedance; amplitude of ventricular electrogram), and HRV data were compared between the 2 groups. As the index of time-domain HRV analysis, NN intervals-index (SDNNi) was calculated for every 5 minutes, and the mean, maximum, and minimum SDNNi during the 24-hour period were used.
Results
During the observation period (median 12 months), 10 patients experienced VT/VF events. In HRV data, the mean, max, and min SDNNi were higher in VT/VF(+) than VT/VF(−) group (132.9±9.3 v.s. 93.5±6.1, p=0.0013; 214.6±10.6 v.s. 167.0±7.0, p=0.0007; 71.2±7.5 v.s. 43.9±4.9, p=0.0047). The other parameters did not exhibit significant difference. On logistic regression analysis, the mean SDNNi of 100.1, max SDNNi of 185.0 and min SDNNi of 52.0 as cut-off values for prediction of VT/VF event demonstrated significant receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves (AUC=0.86, p=0.0007; AUC=0.84, p=0.0005; AUC=0.78, p=0.0030). Furthermore, in cases of VT/VF(+) group, the max ΔSDNNi, i.e., difference from baseline SDNNi, and min ΔSDNNi in 7 and 28 days preceding VT/VF events exhibited time course changes in comparison with baseline values. They were significant predictors of VT/VF events (max ΔSDNNi cut-off: 46.8, AUC=0.91, p=0.0002; min ΔSDNNi cut-off: −42.4, AUC=0.88, p=0.0014).
Conclusion
Time-domain analysis of HRV through RM may help identify patients at high risk of lethal arrhythmic events, and predict occurrence of such arrhythmic events.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although the presence of cardiac involvement is recognised as a determinant of worse clinical outcomes in sarcoidosis patients, the determinants of adverse outcomes in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) have not been well understood. T-peak to T-end interval (TpTe) on the surface electrocardiogram (ECG) was proposed as a marker of dispersion of ventricular repolarisation. Prolonged TpTe to QT interval ratio (TpTe/QT) represents a period of potential vulnerability to reentrant ventricular arrhythmias. Notably, prolonged TpTe/QT has been associated with increased risk of mortality in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congenital long-QT syndrome, and Brugada syndrome. However, its prognostic implication in patients with CS is unclear.
Purpose
We sought to investigate whether TpTe/QT was associated with long-term clinical outcomes in patients with CS.
Methods
A total of 108 consecutive CS patients between August 1986 and March 2019 in two academic hospitals who had ECG data before initiation of immunosuppressive therapy were examined. We excluded patients who received pacemaker (n=15) or cardiac resynchronization therapy (n=3) at the time of ECG. Ultimately, 90 CS patients were included in this study. All standard 12-lead ECGs were recorded at 25 mm/s with an amplification of 10 mm/mV. TpTe was measured from the peak of T wave to the end of T wave which defined as the intersection of the tangent to the down slope of the T wave and the isoelectric line. Lead V5 was selected for the analyses. If V5 is not suitable for analyses, V4 was selected. The primary outcome was the composite of advanced atrioventricular block (AVB), ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF), heart failure hospitalisation and all-cause death.
Results
During a median follow-up period of 4.70 (interquartile range [IQR] 2.06–7.23) years, adverse events occurred in 21 patients (23.3%), including 2 advanced AVB, 12 VT/VF, 4 heart failure hospitalisation and 3 all-cause death. Events group had higher TpTe/QT compared to no events group (0.231 [IQR 0.193–0.261] vs. 0.282 [IQR 0.263–0.304] P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed that the primary outcome, especially VT/VF or sudden cardiac death more frequently occurred in patients with higher TpTe/QT (≥0.242, the median) compared to those with lower TpTe/QT (Figure 1). Multivariable Cox regression analysis showed that higher TpTe/QT was independently associated with increased subsequent risk of adverse events (hazard ratio 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02–1.17, P=0.014) even after adjustment for age, sex and left ventricular ejection fraction. Furthermore, the optimal cut-off value of TpTe/QT for the discriminatory of primary outcome was 0.257, and c-index was 0.77 (95% CI 0.64–0.89).
Conclusions
Higher TpTe/QT was associated with worse long-term clinical outcomes in patients with CS. Our findings indicate the importance of assessing TpTe/QT for risk stratification in patients with CS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Right ventricular (RV) overload is associated with adverse outcome in patients with chronic heart failure. However, its prognostic value in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients remains unknown.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and prognostic impact of right ventricular overload in ACS patients.
Methods
We studied 2797 ACS patients from Mie ACS registry, a prospective and multicenter registry in Japan. They were divided into 4 subgroups according to the severity of RV overload and the extent of Left Ventricle Ejection Fraction (LVEF) assessed by echocardiography before hospital discharge. High RV overload was defined as trans-tricuspid pressure gradient (TRPG) ≥40mmHg and preserved LVEF was defined as ≥50%. The primary outcome was defined as 2-year all-cause mortality. Median follow up duration was 730 days (1–2215 days).
Results
High RV overload was detected in 76 patients (2.7%). In basic patients characteristics, high RV overload patients were significantly older and higher killip classification than low RV overload patients (P<0.01, respectively). Laboratory data in high RV overload patients showed lower hemoglobin level and higher serum creatinine level than those in low RV overload patients (P<0.01, respectively).
Echocardiographic findings in high RV overload represented lower LVEF, higher rate of moderate or severe mitral regurgitation and left atrial enlargement than those in low RV overload patients (P<0.01, respectively).
During the follow-up periods (median 730 days), 260 (9.3%) patients experienced all-cause death. Multivariate cox hazard regression analysis for all-cause mortality demonstrated that high RV overload was an independent poor prognostic factor in the entire study population. Among patients with preserved LVEF, high RV overload resulted in an increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to low RV overload (P<0.0001).
Conclusion
In ACS patients, high RV overload strongly contributes to worsening of prognosis regardless of the extent of LVEF.

Abstract
Background
Edge restenosis still occurs after stent implantation, even by using new generation drug-eluting stents (DES) considered to have favorable biomechanical properties. Mechanical stress imposed on the stent edge are thought to be aggravated by hinge motion at a point between the stented and unstented segments, inducing chronic local inflammation and neointimal overgrowth.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the development of edge restenosis and hinge motion in right coronary artery (RCA) where the excessive vessel movement is commonly observed.
Methods
Among consecutive 650 lesions in RCA where new generation DESs were implanted between 2009 and 2019, 427 serial lesions with sets of angiographies at baseline and follow-up (6–18 month) were included. In addition to conventional quantitative angiography analysis, hinge angle at stent edges was measured (Fig. 1). All the appropriate data for intravascular imaging were analyzed for both stent edges and reference segments.
Results
Binary restenosis occurred in 43 lesions, and 39 of them were referred to re-intervention. Fifty five percent of them were related to stent edges (15 at proximal and 9 at distal edges). Classical risk factors including diabetes and hemodialysis were more prevalent in the restenosis group (p<0.05). Hinge angle was statistically larger in edge restenosis group than body restenosis or no restenosis group (17.3° vs 11.6° vs 10.6°, p<0.001, Fig. 2). In per-edge analysis, hinge angle, dissection and residual plaque ratio were the independent predictors for binary restenosis (Table 1) with the optimal cut-off value of hinge angle 11.5°. The coexistence of excessive hinge angle and residual plaque burden had an amplified effect on the angiographic stenotic progression at stent edge (p for interaction <0.001) and the incidents of binary restenosis (16.7% vs 1.7% p<0.01, Figs. 3,4).
Conclusion
Substantial stress determined by angulation at the stent edge and its interaction with residual plaque can be considered as one of the plausible mechanisms for edge restenosis. For tortuous RCA lesions, it would be important to decide the stent-landing zone for minimizing hinge motion and optimize the future stent design.
