Abstract
Background:Patients with autoimmune disease often require immunosuppressive medications that may increase their risk of developing severe illness from COVID-19. The importance of immunization in this population is particularly high. While the studied vaccines show efficacy in the general population, nothing is known regarding the immune response or safety profile in patients with autoimmune disease and those taking immunomodulatory medications.Objectives:To assess the safety profile and degree of adverse events from SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with autoimmune and inflammatory disease.Methods:This study is part of a larger prospective observational study examining the immunogenicity and safety profile of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in patients with immune-mediated diseases taking immunomodulatory medications. Adults with an immune-mediated disease scheduled to receive either a Pfizer or Moderna SARS-COV-2 vaccine were enrolled in this study. Subjects participated in 3 study visits (pre-vaccine, dose 1 (D1) and dose 2 (D2)) where blood, for immunologic assays, and clinical data were collected. Assessments of adverse events (AE), including local and systemic symptoms and validated degree of AE severity were solicited within 7 days of receiving each vaccine dose.Results:To date, 70 patients with autoimmune and inflammatory disease have been enrolled. Demographic and clinical characteristics are shown in Table 1. Distribution of current immunomodulatory medications included prednisone 18.6%, conventional synthetic DMARD 55.7%, targeted synthetic DMARD 4.3%, and biologic DMARD 68.5%. Almost all participants experienced an adverse event following vaccination (D1 96%, D2 100%). Following D1 AEs were generally mild (76.5%) whereas following D2 a large portion of patients experienced AEs that were moderate (47.8%) and severe (30.5%). Injection site pain was the most common AE following both doses followed by arthralgias (D1 21.6%, D2 78.2%), fever (D1 21.6%, D2 70%) and fatigue (D1 21.6%, D2 65.2%) (Figure 1).Figure 1.Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events. Percentage of participants who had endorsed an adverse event within 7 days of first or second dose of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine. ‘Other’ symptoms included chills, blurry vision, brain fog and dizziness.Conclusion:Patients with autoimmune and inflammatory disease experience a significant burden of adverse events following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination with both frequency and severity appearing greater than that of the reported results from the vaccine clinical trials. Several of the endorsed AEs such as fever, fatigue and arthralgias can also be commonly seen in rheumatologic diseases, mimicking flares. While SARS-CoV-2 immunization is crucial in patients with autoimmune diseases, this study demonstrates the importance of understanding the AEs experienced by this patient population to better inform patients of possible expected side effects of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and further management in the future.Table 1.Demographic and Clinical Characteristics of ParticipantsParameter N (%)N=70Age [years], mean (SD)Age group48.3 ± 16.4 < 6553 (75.7) 65+17 (24.3)Gender Female48 (68.6) Male20 (38.5) Other2 (2.9)Race White47 (67.1) Asian14 (20.0) Hispanic8 (11.4) Black1 (1.4) BMI [kg/m2], mean (SD)25.0 ± 5.4Immunologic Diagnosis Rheumatoid Arthritis21 (30.0) Spondyloarthritis*21 (30.0) Systemic Lupus Erythematous8 (11.4) Connective Tissue Disease, Other‡12 (17.1) Vasculitis3 (4.2) Inflammatory Bowel Disease7 (10.0) Autoinflammatory Syndrome5 (7.1) Multiple Sclerosis2 (2.9) IgG4 Related Disease2 (2.9)Disease Duration [years], mean (SD)9.0 ± 5Medications Prednisone13 (18.6)DMARDs Hydroxychloroquine16 (22.9) Methotrexate15 (21.4) Sulfasalazine6 (8.6) Tofacitinib3 (4.3) Azathioprine2 (2.9)Biologics TNF inhibitor33 (47.1) Rituximab7 (10) Abatacept6 (8.6) IL-23 inhibitor2 (2.9)* Spondyloarthritis includes Axial Spondyloarthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis. ‡ Other Connective Tissue Disease includes scleroderma, Sjogren’s syndrome, polymyositis, and UCTD.Disclosure of Interests:Monica Yang: None declared, Patti Katz: None declared, Diana Paez: None declared, Alexander Carvidi: None declared, Mehrdad Matloubian: None declared, Mary Nakamura: None declared, Lianne S.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to compare the short-term outcomes of the duodenum-first multidirectional approach (DMA) in laparoscopic right colectomy with those of the conventional medial approach to assess its safety and feasibility. Methods This retrospective study enrolled 120 patients who had laparoscopic surgery for right-sided colon cancer in our institution between April 2013 and December 2019. Fifty-four patients underwent colectomy using the multidirectional approach; among these, 20 underwent the DMA and 34 underwent the caudal-first multidirectional approach (CMA). Sixty-six patients underwent the conventional medial approach. Complications within 30 days of surgery were compared between the groups. Results There were 54 patients in the multidirectional group [29 females, median age 72 years (range 36–91 years)] and 66 in the medial group [42 females, median age 72 years (range 41–91 years)]. Total operative time was significantly shorter in multidirectional approach patients than conventional medial approach patients (208 min vs. 271 min; p = 0.01) and significantly shorter in patients who underwent the DMA compared to the CMA (201 min vs. 269 min; p < 0.001). Operative time for the mobilization procedure was also significantly shorter in patients who underwent the DMA (131 min vs. 181 min; p < 0.001). Blood loss and incidence of postoperative complications did not differ. In 77 patients with advanced T3/T4 tumors, the DMA, CMA, and conventional medial approach were performed in 13, 21, and 43 patients, respectively. Total operative time and operative time of the mobilization procedure were significantly shorter in patients undergoing DMA. Blood loss and incidence of postoperative complications did not differ. R0 resection was achieved in all patients with advanced tumors. Conclusions The DMA in laparoscopic right colectomy is safe and feasible and can achieve R0 resection with a shorter operative time than the conventional medial approach, even in patients with advanced tumors.

Abstract
The prevalence of periodontal disease increases with age. Systemic inflammatory dysregulation also increases with age and has been reported to contribute to the myriad of diseases and conditions that become more prevalent with advanced age. As periodontal disease involves a dysregulated host inflammatory response, the age-related inflammatory dysregulation may contribute to the pathogenesis of periodontal disease in aging populations. However, our understanding of what drives the age-related inflammatory dysregulation is limited. Here, we investigate the macrophage and its contribution to periodontal disease in old and young mice using a ligature-induced periodontal disease model. We demonstrate that control old mice present with an aged periodontal phenotype, characterized by increased alveolar bone loss and increased local inflammatory cytokine expression compared to young mice. Macrophages were demonstrated to be present in the periodontium of old and young mice in equal numbers in controls, during disease induction, and during disease recovery. However, it appears age may have a detrimental effect on macrophage activity during disease recovery. Depletion of macrophages during disease recovery in old mice resulted in decreased inflammatory cytokines within the gingiva and decreased bone loss as measured by micro-computed tomography. In young mice, macrophage depletion during disease recovery had no beneficial or detrimental effect. Macrophage depletion during disease induction resulted in decreased disease severity similarly in young and old mice. Findings from this work support the diverse roles of macrophages in disease induction as well as the active roles of disease recovery, including the resolution of inflammation. Here, we conclude that age-related changes to the macrophage appear to be detrimental to the recovery from disease and may explain, in part, the age-related increase in prevalence of periodontal disease. Future studies examining the specific intrinsic age-related changes to the macrophage will help identify therapeutic targets.

Abstract
AIM To calculate the quantitative liver-portal vein contrast ratio (Q-LPC) cut-off value based on tumour detectability by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-four patients with tumours (46 men and 28 women; age, 71 ± 8.1 years), who underwent liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) were enrolled. Some patients were found to have multiple tumours. In total, 102 tumour images were evaluated for quantitative liver-spleen contrast ratio (Q-LSC) and Q-LPC 10 minutes after the administration of Gd-EOB-DTPA. Q-LPC and Q-LSC were compared to assess the cut-off values and usefulness. The ROC curve was evaluated using the method for continuously distributed test results, with a free scale of 50 mm. A score of ≥30 out of 50 points was considered good. Cut-off values of Q-LPC and Q-LSC were then calculated. The areas under the ROC curve (AUCs) were also examined and compared. RESULTS The AUC-ROC for Q-LPC was 0.858 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.783-0.933). The cut-off value was determined to be at 1.462. Sensitivity was 0.747, and specificity was 0.852 at the cut-off value. The AUC-ROC for Q-LSC was 0.710 (95% CI, 0.597-0.822). The cut-off value was at 1.543, the sensitivity was 0.560, and the specificity was 0.778 at the cut-off value. A significant difference was noted between the AUCs (p=0.0016). CONCLUSION Q-LPC can be used for hepatobiliary phase MRI evaluation.

Abstract
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is characterized by the presence of serum anti-mitochondrial autoantibodies (AMAs). To date, four antigens among the 2-oxo-acid dehydrogenase complex family, which commonly have lipoyl domains as an epitope, have been identified as AMA-corresponding antigens (AMA-antigens). It has recently been reported that AMAs react more strongly with certain chemically modified mimics than with the native lipoyl domains in AMA-antigens. Moreover, high concentrations of circulating immune complexes (ICs) in PBC patients have been reported. However, the existence of ICs formed by AMAs and their antigens has not been reported to date. We hypothesized that AMAs and their antigens formed ICs in PBC sera, and analyzed sera of PBC and four autoimmune diseases (Sjögren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic scleroderma, and rheumatoid arthritis) using immune complexome analysis, in which ICs are separated from serum and are identified by nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. To correctly assign MS/MS spectra to peptide sequences, we used a protein-search algorithm that including lipoylation and certain xenobiotic modifications. We found three AMA-antigens, the E2 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC-E2), the E2 subunit of the 2-oxo-glutarate dehydrogenase complex (OGDC-E2) and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase binding protein (E3BP), by detecting peptides containing lipoylation and xenobiotic modifications from PBC sera. Although the lipoylated sites of these peptides were different from the well-known sites, abnormal lipoylation and xenobiotic modification may lead to production of AMAs and the formation ICs. Further investigation of the lipoylated sites, xenobiotic modifications, and IC formation will lead to deepen our understanding of PBC pathogenesis.

Abstract
Recently, monolayer SnS, a two-dimensional group IV monochalcogenide, was grown on a mica substrate at the micrometer-size scale by the simple physical vapor deposition (PVD), resulting in the successful demonstration of its in-plane room temperature ferroelectricity. However, the reason behind the monolayer growth remains unclear because it had been considered that the SnS growth inevitably results in a multilayer thickness due to the strong interlayer interaction arising from lone pair electrons. Here, we investigate the PVD growth of monolayer SnS from two different feed powders, highly purified SnS and commercial phase-impure SnS. Contrary to expectations, it is suggested that the mica substrate surface is modified by sulfur evaporated from the Sn2S3 contaminant in the as-purchased powder and the lateral growth of monolayer SnS is facilitated due to the enhanced surface diffusion of SnS precursor molecules, unlike the growth from the highly purified powder. This insight provides a guide to identify further controllable growth conditions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Polymer- and carrier-free Biolimus-A9-coated stent (DCS) is expected better vascular healing compared with conventional durable polymer drug-eluting stents (DES). Moreover, DCS had been demonstrated in clinical trials to allow one-month short dual antiplatelet therapy, which might achieve sufficient healing at only 1 month after implantation. However, the process of vascular healing after DCS implantation has not been elucidated by angioscopic observation.
Purpose
To evaluate the process of vascular healing at 1 month and 12 months after DCS implantation.
Methods
This study included 57 patients treated with DCS or durable polymer everolimus-eluting stents (EES) in our hospital from April 2017 to April 2019. Firstly, the angioscopic findings of DCS at 1 month (n=16) and 12 months (n=14) after implantation were respectively compared with EES at 12 months after implantation (EES-12, n=35) as a standard healing status of DES. Secondary, angioscopic findings of DCS at 1 month and 12 months after implantation were compared among the serially observed eight patients. Neointimal coverage (NIC) grade, yellow colour grade, and the presence of thrombus were evaluated. NIC grade was classified as grade 0 (no neointimal coverage), grade 1 (struts were bulged into lumen but covered), grade 2 (struts were embedded in the neointima but visible), or grade 3 (struts were fully embedded and invisible). Yellow colour grade was classified as grade 0 (white), grade 1 (light yellow), grade 2 (yellow), or grade 3 (intensive yellow).
Results
At 1 month after DCS implantation, dominant NIC grade was lower (0.3±0.5 vs. 1.5±0.7, p<0.001) and the frequency of thrombus was higher (38% vs. 6%, p=0.008) than EES-12. On the other hands, at 12 months after DCS implantation, dominant NIC grade was higher (2.1±0.6 vs. 1.5±0.7, p=0.013) and the frequency of thrombus was not different (7% vs. 6%, p=1.000) in comparison with EES-12. By serial observation of DCS, dominant NIC grade was higher at 12 months than at 1 month (2.3±0.5 vs. 0.4±0.5, p<0.001), while yellow colour grade (1.0±0.5 vs. 1.5±1.2, p=0.227) and the frequency of thrombus adhesion (0% vs. 38%, p=0.200) were not different.
Conclusion
Compared with EES-12, vascular healing of DCS was inferior at 1 month but superior at 12 months.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hemolysis of Impella is known as a major comorbidity and adequate device positioning and optimization of volume status are recommended. However, we have sometimes experienced hemolysis refractory to these adjustments and anatomical feature appears to be crucial in such cases.
Methods
We enrolled 26 patients (median 71 y; BSA 1.6 m2; LVEF 27%) with cardiogenic shock who received Impella insertion from March 2018 to November 2019. The angle of the aortic and mitral annulus which was drawn at the apical 3-chamber view on echocardiography, just before or after Impella insertion was measured (Figure). Hemolytic event was defined as follows; (1) Gross dark red urine and elevation of serum LDH level after initiation of Impella support were seen and subsequently required to lower the support level of Impella under P6. (2) Blood sample data indicating hemolysis (i.e. elevation of LDH level over 1.5 fold of normal range, anemia complicated with decreased haptoglobin, the elevation of total bilirubin level accompanied indirect bilirubin elevation) was found and subsequently required to initiate continuous hemodiafiltration.
Results
The freedom from hemolytic event was significantly lower in the narrow angle group (<126.5 degrees, Figure A) compared with the wide angle group (≥126.5 degrees, Figure B) (18% vs 83%, p<0.0001). The narrow angle was a significant risk factor of hemolytic event with an unadjusted hazard ratio 13.9 (95% confidence interval 2.88–67.2, p=0.0499) and a hazard ratio 15.5 (95% confidence interval 3.15–76.3, p=0.0008) adjusted for lower pulmonary artery pulsatility index, which was another risk factor significant in the univariate analyses. Furthermore, 30-day survival rate was significantly lower in the narrow angle group compared with the wide angle group (63% vs 100%, p=0.0116).
Conclusions
The narrow angle (<126.5 degrees) was an independent risk factor of hemolytic event and 30-day survival was lower compared with the wide angle group.

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

Abstract
Human lactoferrin (hLF) is a glycosaminoglycan (GAG)-binding protein involved in various biological functions. It consists of two globular functional domains, referred to as the N- and C-lobes. Both heparin (HP) and heparan sulfate (HS) bind to the N-lobe domain of hLF. Although some biological functions of hLF such as neuroprotective effects and cancer growth inhibition are regulated by its binding to HS, the binding characteristics of hLF with other GAG subtypes, and their effects on biological activities are still poorly understood. Here, we report that hLF binds to chondroitin sulfate (CS)-E, a GAG subtype involved in various neurodegenerative diseases. The α-helical content of hLF, which is an indicator of changes in the secondary structure of hLF, increased in the presence of CS-C, CS-D, or CS-E, but not in the presence of HP, HS, CS-A, or CS-B. This structural change was also observed in the N-lobe, the N-terminal half region of the hLF. Additionally, the thermal stability of the N-lobe showed a dose-dependent improvement in the presence of CS-E, but not in the presence of HP. This indicates that the binding mode of hLF/N-lobe to CS-E may differ from that of HP. hLF was also found to neutralize CS-E-induced inhibition of neurite outgrowth and neuronal growth cone collapse, which are neurodegenerative responses to spinal cord injury, in cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons. Thus, hLF is a promising drug candidate for the treatment of CS-E-induced neurodegenerative diseases such as spinal cord injury.

Abstract
Purpose Acid-base transport in renal proximal tubules (PTs) is mainly sodium-dependent and conducted in coordination by the apical Na+/H+ exchanger (NHE3), vacuolar H+-adenosine triphosphatase (V-ATPase), and the basolateral Na+/HCO3- cotransporter. V-ATPase on PTs is well-known to play an important role in proton excretion. Recently we reported a stimulatory effect of insulin on these transporters. However, it is unclear whether insulin is involved in acid-base balance in PTs. Thus, we assessed the role of insulin in acid-base balance in PTs. Methods V-ATPase activity was evaluated using freshly isolated PTs obtained from mice, and specific inhibitors were then used to assess the signaling pathways involved in the observed effects. Results V-ATPase activity in PTs was markedly enhanced by insulin, and its activation was completely inhibited by bafilomycin (a V-ATPase-specific inhibitor), Akt inhibitor VIII, and PP242 (an mTORC1/2 inhibitor), but not by rapamycin (an mTORC1 inhibitor). V-ATPase activity was stimulated by 1 nm insulin by approximately 20% above baseline, which was completely suppressed by Akt1/2 inhibitor VIII. PP242 completely suppressed the insulin-mediated V-ATPase stimulation in mouse PTs, whereas rapamycin failed to influence the effect of insulin. Insulin-induced Akt phosphorylation in the mouse renal cortex was completely suppressed by Akt1/2 inhibitor VIII and PP242, but not by rapamycin. Conclusion Our results indicate that stimulation of V-ATPase activity by insulin in PTs is mediated via the Akt2/mTORC2 pathway. These results reveal the mechanism underlying the complex signaling in PT acid-base balance, providing treatment targets for renal disease.

Abstract
Human lactoferrin (hLF), a soluble factor of the innate immune system, exhibits various biological functions and therefore has potential as a therapeutic protein. However, the clinical applications of hLF are limited by its low stability in blood. We therefore attempted to resolve this by producing recombinant hLF fused to human serum albumin (HSA). Two HSA-fused hLFs with different fusion orientations (hLF-HSA and HSA-hLF) were produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) DG44 cells. hLF-HSA revealed higher thermal stability, resistance to peptic degradation, and stability during the process of cellular uptake and release in an intestinal enterocyte model (Caco-2 cells) than HSA-hLF. The lower stability of HSA-hLF is presumably due to the steric hindrance imposed by HSA fusion to the N-terminus of hLF. Both HSA fusion proteins, especially HSA-hLF, displayed improved pharmacokinetic properties despite the lower protein stability of HSA-hLF. hLF-HSA and HSA-hLF exhibited approximately 3.3- and 20.7-fold longer half-lives (64.0 and 403.6 min), respectively, than holo-rhLF (19.5 min). Both HSA fusion proteins were found to exert enhanced growth inhibition effects on cancer cells in vitro, but not normal cells. Their enhanced growth inhibitory activities were considered to be due to the synergetic effects of hLF and HSA because hLF alone or HSA alone failed to exert such an effect. Altogether, Fusion of HSA to hLF yielded superior pharmacokinetics and anti-proliferative activities against cancer cells. HSA-fused hLF is a novel candidate for further application of hLF as biopharmaceuticals for intravenous administration.

Abstract
Lattice defect is a major cause of energy dissipation in conventional electric current due to the drift and diffusion motions of electrons. Different nature of current emerges when noncentrosymmetric materials are excited by light. This current, called the shift current, originates from the change in the Berry connection of electrons' wave functions during the interband optical transition. Here, we demonstrate the defect tolerance of shift current using single crystals of ferroelectric semiconductor antimony sulfoiodide (SbSI). Although the dark conductance spreads over several orders of magnitude in each crystal due to the difference in the density of defect levels, the observed shift current converges to an identical value. We also reveal that the shift current is scarcely disturbed by the surface defects while they drastically suppress the conventional photocurrent. The defect tolerance is a manifestation of the topological nature of shift current, which will be a crucial advantage in optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
AIMS About 80% of cases of locally advanced unresectable thoracic oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma recur within the irradiation fields after chemoradiotherapy. Radiation dose escalation using advanced radiotherapy techniques is expected to improve clinical outcomes by reducing local and regional recurrence. The current study aimed to determine the recommended escalated radiation dose for these patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with locally advanced unresectable thoracic oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma with good performance status underwent chemoradiotherapy using simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT) with elective nodal irradiation. SIB-IMRT was delivered in five fractions per week. The radiation dose to the unresectable gross tumour was escalated from 66 Gy to a planned maximum dose of 72 Gy in 3 Gy increments in a standard 3 + 3 design. The doses to the resectable component, superficial tumours and elective nodal regions were fixed as 60, 51 and 48 Gy, respectively. Cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil were concurrently administered. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as acute grade 3 oesophagitis, grade 2 pneumonitis, grade 2 cardiac toxicity and a failure to complete planned radiotherapy within 60 days. Locoregional control and overall survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Nine patients were enrolled. RESULTS DLTs occurred in one of six and two of three patients at doses of 66 and 69 Gy, respectively. All DLTs were grade 3 oesophagitis. The recommended dose was determined as 66 Gy delivered in 30 fractions based on the predefined criteria. With a median follow-up period of 23 months, the 1-year locoregional control and overall survival rates were 67 (95% confidence interval = 19-90) and 78% (95% confidence interval = 36-94), respectively. CONCLUSION The recommended radiation dose in chemoradiotherapy using SIB-IMRT with elective nodal irradiation was 66 Gy delivered in 30 fractions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate optimal risk factors, including atrophy of the abdominal rectus muscle (ARM) for postoperative parastomal hernia (PH) in patients who underwent end colostomy at left lower quadrant. METHODS This single-institution retrospective study included 91 patients who underwent end colostomy between April 2004 and December 2015. The surgical and long-term outcomes among patients with or without PH were collected and compared. RESULTS Altogether, 22 (24.2%) patients had a PH including 15 (68.2%) patients with a simultaneous incisional hernia. Univariate analysis showed that older patients (71 ± 11.9 vs. 64 ± 12.2 years, p = 0.03) and those with higher body mass index (BMI) (23.8 ± 3.8 vs. 20.9 ± 3.3 kg/m2, p < 0.001) had a statistically significant relation with having PHs. Relative atrophy of left abdominal rectus muscle was more frequently found in patients with PH (ratio of left side/right side; caudal level and medial side: 0.66 vs. 0.92, p < 0.01, caudal level and lateral side: 0.95 vs. 1.03, p = 0.04). Multivariate analysis revealed that BMI > 25 kg/m2 [odds ratio (OR) 9.05, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.06-39.76, p = 0.003] and atrophy of the left lower medial portion of the abdominal rectus muscle (OR 12.85, 95% CI 2.49-66.39, p = 0.002) were independent risk factors for PHs. Neither the laparoscopic approach nor the extraperitoneal route of the colostomy was proven to correlate with a lower rate of PHs. CONCLUSIONS High BMI and atrophic change of ARM were significantly associated with PH development. Surgical techniques for prevention of atrophic change of ARM are expected to reduce the incidence of PHs.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is prevalent and is associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure. The pathophysiology of PH is heterogeneous, including pre-capillary PH and combined pre- and post-capillary PH. The latter PH has been reported in experimental studies to cause wave reflection in pulmonary circulation, putting additional burden on right ventricle. This study tested the hypothesis that separating wave reflection would enhance risk stratification in heart failure.
Methods
This study included 152 patients with clinical stable heart failure associated with PH who were referred to echocardiography for hemodynamic assessment (age = 72 ± 13 years old, ejection fraction = 49 ± 21%). Pulmonary arterial wave reflection was characterised by separating PA pressure waveform into forward (Pf) and backward pressure (Pb) waves, based on the concept of wave intensity. PA pressure waveform was estimated from continuous Doppler tracing of tricuspid regurgitation. Flow velocity was measured by pulse Doppler at right ventricular outflow tract. Outcome data was obtained by reviewing medical charts. The endpoint was hospitalization for worsening heart failure (WHF).
Results
Figure A compares PA pressure waveforms (total and separated waves) obtained from 2 patients with and without WHF event. The patient with event had higher total pressure associated with late peak than the patient without event. Pb appeared later than Pf; it was markedly higher in the patient with event than the patient without event, although Pf was similar between both patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated a significant separation of survival curves stratified by Pb (chi-square = 25.1, p < 0.001, figure B). During follow-up period of 1.5 ± 1.8 years, 65 patients (43%) experienced the endpoint. Sequential Cox analysis revealed that PASP remained significant after adjusted for left ventricular ejection fraction and E/e’ (hazard ratio = 1.017, p = 0.019). Pb also remained significant after the same adjustment (hazard ratio = 1.066, p = 0.003); the addition of Pb to a baseline model resulted in greater increase in predictive power than the addition of PASP (model chi-square: from 27.4 (baseline), to 37.6 (p = 0.004) for Pb, to 31.6 (p = 0.027) for PASP, figure C)
Conclusions
Pressure wave reflection in pulmonary artery is associated with early decompensation in heart failure.

Abstract
Abstract
【Background】
Left ventricular aneurysms is complication of myocardial infarction (MI) that can lead to death or serious morbidity. False aneurysm is rare complications of myocardial infarction or iatrogenic perforation and represent a contained myocardial rupture. False aneurysm does not contain all the three layers of the myocardium and is frequently lined by pericardium and mural thrombus. Definitive diagnosis is achieved by echocardiography, computed tomography (CT), angiography, or magnetic resonance imaging. Coexistence of true and false aneurysms is rare.
【Case】 A 58 years old man with a history of hypertension and MI was referred to our hospital for aneurysmectomy. During the course of prior MI, he got fever and pericardial effusion.
CT revealed that three left ventricular aneurysms were present. Also, three aneurysms were connected by narrow ducts each other. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed that three ventricular aneurysms were connected via acceleration blood flow which swirling in the spherical aneurysm. We determined that this triple ventricular aneurysms were at high risk for rupture, so we performed surgery.
The postoperative course was good and he was discharged without any complications.
【Discussion】
False aneurysms occur after hemorrhagic dissection into an area of transmural infarction and most commonly result in free intrapericardial rupture of the heart, cardiac tamponade, and death. Rarely, if the overlying pericardium becomes adherent to the epicardium along the surface of the infarct, it can contain the rupture.
We were able to evaluate the mechanism of development with triple left ventricular aneurysms using CT and TTE. We could know about spatial comprehension of triple aneurysms using CT. False aneurysms were restricted enlargement due to stiff pericardium because of complicating Dressler syndrome. We hypothesis that aneurysms were enlarging in the direction of the base of heart in the adhered pericardium space.
We were able to evaluate the thickness of aneurysms and blood flow condition using TTE. TTE revealed that the wall of aneurysm was fragile. Multimodality imaging like TTE or cardiac CT are useful diagnostic methods in this case.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Platypnea–orthodeoxia syndrome (POS) is an uncommon condition characterized by positional dyspnea and hypoxemia due to intracardiac right-to-left shunting through a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The most commonly associated conditions included pneumonectomy, ascending aortic dilation, and arch surgery, as previously reported. Percutaneous closure of PFO is useful treatment for POS.
Case
A 76 year old man used home oxygen therapy because of unexplained hypoxemia. A decrease in blood oxygen saturation was observed in sitting and standing positions. The patient was diagnosed as "POS" because a shunt blood flow with PFO and atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) and eustachian valve was observed at transesophageal echocardiography. He was admitted for the purpose of percutaneous PFO closure.
He was treated with intra-cardiac echocardiography (ICE) guidance under local anesthesia because of poor lung function.
PFO closure was performed successfully with 30mm AMPLATZER Cribriform. The ICE findings prior to PFO closure showed a right-to-left shunt blood flow through the PFO in the sitting position but almost disappeared after closure. Furthermore, it was observed that the aortic artery compression was stronger in the sitting position than in the supine position with right-to-left shunt blood flow. After PFO closure, hypoxia associated with postural change improved and patient’s symptom as shortness of breath also significantly improved.
Discussion
POS is a position-dependent condition of dyspnea and hypoxemia due to right-to-left shunting. It often remains unrecognized in clinical practice, possibly because of its complex underlying pathophysiology. It is considered that the cause of POS in this patient was multiple factors such as ASA, aortic displacement, and venous valve remnant. In addition, being able to observe the change of the atrium due to compression from the aortic artery using ICE during the operation was very significant to explain the mechanism of POS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare congenital heart disease with an estimated incidence of 0.008% to 1.46%. The functional status of QAV is predominantly a pure aortic regurgitation. The extensive use of echocardiography has allowed an early and accurate diagnosis of this malformation. In many cases, the transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is suitable for the diagnosis but, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), especially 3-dimensional (3D) TEE, is a tool for the accurate definition of the valve anatomy.
Clinical case
A 60-year-old female underwent a head CT for intermittent headaches for one month ago. She was admitted to neurosurgery in our hospital diagnosed of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Four mm aneurysm was found on the periphery of the right middle cerebral artery on CT examination, and a cerebral aneurysm coil embolization was performed with a catheter in emergency. The possibility of infectious cerebral aneurysm was pointed out, and we examined in cardiovascular internal medicine. TTE revealed moderate aortic regurgitation. The ventricular septum exhibits sigmoid septum. A mobile mass was found near the left ventricular outflow tract in the sigmoid septum. TEE revealed a hypoplasia cusp (accessory cusp) is found between non coronary cusp and right coronary cusp. Aortic valve leaflets have become thickened and regurgitation from the central part of the cusps. 3DTEE was able to more accurately visualize that only the accessory cusp was hypoplastic, and the size of the other three leaflets appears almost the same. Similarly, vegetation on the left ventricular outflow tract were clearly revealed by 3DTEE.
Based on the above, it was diagnosed that quadricuspid aortic valve complicated with infective endocarditis (IE) with aortic valve regurgitation. After treatment with antibiotics according to IE, surgical treatment was scheduled.
Discussion
QAV is a rare congenital heart disease, and TTE is an important imaging tool for accurate diagnosis. Furthermore, TEE, especially 3DTEE, was a more appropriate diagnostic method in QAV and IE.

Background
Elevated angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) has been attributable to a potential cause of gastrointestinal bleeding among patients with continuous flow (CF) mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in the US, but Ang-2 levels have not been examined in the Japanese MCS patients who are likely to have less gastrointestinal bleeding.
Methods
We enrolled 18 patients (64 ± 16y; LVEF 26 ± 9%) with advanced heart failure (HF) who received temporary or durable MCS, or were given intravenous inotropes from August 2018 to January 2019. Serum Ang-2 and plasma BNP were simultaneously measured at various treatment status. The relationship between each value and any spontaneous bleeding events requiring hemostasis or blood transfusion was examined.
Results
103 blood samples were collected and divided into 2 groups. One was the CF group, which consisted of samples from patients under CF-MCS (Impella, ECMO, Jarvik2000, HeartMateII), and the others were assigned to the Non-CF group. Ang-2 levels had a positive correlation with BNP levels (r = 0.33, p = 0.0006, Fig). CF-MCS efficiently lowered BNP levels (353 ± 125 in CF vs 1053 ± 119 in Non-CF, pg/mL, p < 0.0001), but Ang-2 levels relative to BNP levels were significantly higher in the CF group as shown in the Figure (Ang-2/log10(BNP) ratio: 3.77 ± 0.30 in CF vs 2.43 ± 0.29 in Non-CF, p = 0.0017). Bleeding events were remarkably frequent when Ang-2/log10(BNP)>3.17 (77.8%) than ≦3.17 (22.2%, p = 0.0002).
Conclusions
High Ang-2 level is normally a marker for hemodynamic compromise, but CF-MCS may stimulate Ang-2 production despite hemodynamic stabilization. Most of spontaneous bleeding events accompany inappropriately high Ang-2 relative to BNP level among Japanese patients with advanced HF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although transthoracic Doppler echocardiography is widely used for estimating left ventricular stroke volume (SV), accelerated blood flow in the left ventricular (LV) outflow tract may lead to overestimation. SV can be calculated accurately from left ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic volume determined by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). However, radiation exposure as well as the use of contrast medium hampers its routine use.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine whether the correction of SV measured by pulsed wave Doppler echocardiography (SVdop) can accurately predicts SV obtained by MDCT (SVct).
Methods: We enrolled consecutive 61 patients who underwent both MDCT and transthoracic echocardiography. Patients with moderate or severe valvular diseases and valve replacement surgery were excluded. Correction of SV was explored with SVct as a reference.
Results: Univariate analysis showed that SVdop (r = 0.42, P = 0.0007) and patient age (r=-0.50, P < 0.0001) were significantly correlated with SVct. On the other hand, left ventricular ejection fraction calculated by Teicholz method (EFteich) (r = 0.19, P = 0.14), systolic blood pressure (r = 0.07, P = NS), and LV mass index (r=-0.02, P = NS) were not correlated with SVct. Multivariate analysis showed that SVdop, patient age and EFteich were the independent predictive factors for SVct (R2 = 0.49, P < 0.0001). Based on these correlations, we postulated SV as: corrected SV = SVdop × 0.40 + EFteich × 0.46 – age × 0.67 + 44.77. As expected, the correlation between corrected SV and SVct significantly improved (r = 0.70, P < 0.0001). Bland-Altman plot analysis showed that corrected SV significantly reduced the variation between SVdop and SVct, and diminished the overestimation of SVdop (Figure).
Conclusion: The new correction formula of SVdop may correct the overestimation of SV obtained by pulsed wave Doppler echocardiography, although the formula remains to be validated in a separate cohort of patients.

Abstract
An Intact form of lactoferrin (LF) is known to be absorbed from the small intestine and transported into the blood circulation. We reevaluated the cellular uptake and release of LF using an enterocyte model of human small intestinal cells derived from the Caco-2 cell line. In contrast to a previous report, we observed that intact bovine LF was taken up into seven and 21 d-cultured Caco-2 cells and successfully released back into the culture medium, even though the human intestinal LF receptor, intelectin-1, was not immunochemically detectable. Similar observations were made for human LF and its derivatives (the N-terminal half of LF designated N-lobe and Fc fusions). These observations regarding the uptake and release of intact LF in Caco-2 cells were consistent with in vivo observations. Therefore, we propose that the uptake and release of intact LF by Caco-2 cells should be assessed as a potential in vitro model of in vivo LF absorption in human intestines.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a well-known predictor of acute heart failure (HF). Congestion volume status estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is also associated with adverse cardiovascular events in HF patients. However, it is unclear whether these biomarkers reflecting pathophysiological pathways are different between HF with preserved (HFpEF) and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate whether the prognostic value of NT-proBNP and extracellular water/free fat mass (ECW%) assessed by BIA is different between HFrEF and HFpEF in acute HF patients.
Methods and results
One hundred-and-forty-three patients admitted for acute HF between November 2013 and January 2015 were estimated for NT-proBNP levels and ECW% by BIA on admission. A total of 49 HFrEF (LVEF<40%) and 75 HFpEF (LVEF≥50%) patients were included in this study (mean age: 76±14 years, male: 63%). The median of NT-proBNP levels in HFrEF patients was higher than in HFpEF (6022 [IQR: 2531–9163] pg/mL and 3179 [1076–6054] pg/mL, respectively, p=0.012). Conversely, ECW% was similar between HFrEF and HFpEF (29.0 [25.7–33.7] % and 31.7 [27.3–38.8] %, respectively, p=0.088). The primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality and/or hospitalisation due to HF. During a median follow-up of 5.9 months, 16 (35.6%) and 35 (50.7%) patients were observed to have composite events in HFrEF and HFpEF, respectively, (p=0.111). Elevated NT-proBNP levels in HFrEF patients were associated with an increased risk of composite events after adjustment for traditional risk factors (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.39; 95% Confidence interval [CI]; 1.04–5.47; p=0.040), but not in HFpEF (p=0.063). Meanwhile, a high ECW% in HFrEF patients was associated with increasing composite events risk (HR: 3.30; 95% CI; 1.32–8.25; p=0.011), as well as in HFpEF patients (HR: 1.62; 95% CI; 1.03–2.55; p=0.037). Furthermore, the ECW% in addition to NT-proBNP in HFpEF patients resulted in a significant improvement in prediction for composite events (net reclassification improvement 0.67 [95% CI 0.24–1.11]; p=0.002 and integrated discrimination improvement 0.12 [0.004–0.20]; p=0.004).
Conclusion
Elevated levels of NT-proBNP in acute HF were predictive for mortality and hospitalisation due to HF in HFrEF but may not be for HFpEF patients, and ECW% had a better predictive value than NT-proBNP in HFpEF patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The CANVAS program and DECLERE-TIMI 58 reported that SGLT2i had been demonstrated to reduce hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) patients with high cardiovascular disease risk. However, it remains unclear whether the effectiveness of SGLT2i on acute decompensated HF is also observed in T2DM patients irrespective of acting types of SGLT2i.
Methods
In this single center, open-label, prospective study, fifty-eight T2DM patients hospitalized due to decompensated HF were enrolled (mean age 73 years, HbA1c 7.2%). After treatment for HF, 5mg/day of dapagliflozin (n=24, from February 2016 to February 2017) or 100mg/day of canagliflozin (n=34, from March 2017 to July 2018) was administered and clinical parameters about HF and T2DM were followed for 7 days. Statistical comparison of parameters between groups taking dapagliflozin or canagliflozin was performed using the two-way repeated measures analysis of variance (MANOVA).
Results
In both groups, urine glucose excretion increased significantly after administration of SGLT2i. Fasting blood glucose level tended to be decreased in both groups. Urine volume increased significantly one day after administration of SGLT2i, and returned to the baseline after one week in both groups. Interestingly, urine volume one day after administration of SGLT2i tended to increase more in the group taking canagliflozin than in the group taking dapagliflozin (interaction P value = 0.088). Importantly, plasma BNP levels and Nt-proBNP levels were decreased significantly in both groups.

SGLT2i are useful for correcting volume overload and recovering from the decompensated state in HF patients with T2DM irrespective of acting types of SGLT2i.
