Abstract
Aims/Introduction The purpose of the present study was to quantify errors in the diagnosis of diabetes for use in the national database, using a sufficient population size. Materials and methods A claims database constructed by the JMDC (Tokyo, Japan), using standardized disease classifications and anonymous record linkage, was used in this validation study. We included patients with health insurance claims data from April 2005 to March 2019 in the JMDC claims database. We excluded patients without a record of specific health checkups in Japan. Sample size calculation was based on a 5% prevalence of diabetes and 0.4% absolute accuracy (i.e., 1,250,000 individuals), to calculate the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value. Results In total, 2,999,152 patients were included in this study, of which 165,515 were classified as having diabetes based on specific health checkups (validation cohort prevalence of 5.5%). The newly devised algorithm had three elements – the diagnosis‐related codes for diabetes without suspected flag, the medication codes for diabetes and then these two codes on the same record – and yielded a sensitivity of 74.6%, positive predictive value of 88.4% and Kappa Index of 0.80 (the highest values). Conclusions In future claims database studies, our validated algorithms will be useful as diagnostic criteria for diabetes.

Abstract
We observed electronic K x rays emitted from muonic iron atoms using superconducting transition-edge sensor microcalorimeters. The energy resolution of 5.2 eV in FWHM allowed us to observe the asymmetric broad profile of the electronic characteristic Kα and Kβ x rays together with the hypersatellite K^{h}α x rays around 6 keV. This signature reflects the time-dependent screening of the nuclear charge by the negative muon and the L-shell electrons, accompanied by electron side feeding. Assisted by a simulation, these data clearly reveal the electronic K- and L-shell hole production and their temporal evolution on the 10-20 fs scale during the muon cascade process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The antitumor effect of statins has been highlighted, but clinical study results remain inconclusive. While patients with diabetes are at high risk of cancer, it is uncertain whether statins are effective for cancer chemoprevention in this population. OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the association between statins and cancer incidence/mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. DESIGN This study was a follow-up observational study of the Japanese Primary Prevention of Atherosclerosis with Aspirin for Diabetes (JPAD) trial, which was a randomized controlled trial of low-dose aspirin in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. PARTICIPANTS This study enrolled 2536 patients with type 2 diabetes, age 30-85 years, and no history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, from December 2002 until May 2005. All participants recruited in the JPAD trial were followed until the day of any fatal event or July 2015. We defined participants taking any statin at enrollment as the statin group (n = 650) and the remainder as the no-statin group (n = 1886). MAIN MEASURES The primary end point was the first occurrence of any cancer (cancer incidence). The secondary end point was death from any cancer (cancer mortality). KEY RESULTS During follow-up (median, 10.7 years), 318 participants developed a new cancer and 123 died as a result. Cancer incidence and mortality were 10.5 and 3.7 per 1000 person-years in the statin group, and 16.8 and 6.3 per 1000 person-years in the no-statin group, respectively. Statin use was associated with significantly reduced cancer incidence and mortality after adjustment for confounding factors (cancer incidence: adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.67; 95% CI, 0.49-0.90, P = 0.007; cancer mortality: adjusted HR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.36-0.98, P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Statin use was associated with a reduced incidence and mortality of cancer in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Possible involvement of regulatory T cell abnormalities and variational usage of TCR repertoire in children with autoimmune neutropenia. Clin Exp Immunol 2020; 204:1-13.

Abstract
Autoimmune neutropenia (AIN) in childhood is characterized by chronic neutropenia and positivity for anti-neutrophil antibodies, resulting in the excessive destruction of neutrophils. In this study, we investigated the involvement of regulatory T cells (Tregs ) in the pathogenesis of AIN in childhood. Tregs have been classified into three subpopulations based on the expressions of CD45RA and forkhead box protein 3 (FoxP3): resting Tregs , activated Tregs and non-suppressive Tregs . The frequency of activated Tregs (CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3high CD45RA- T cells) as well as that of total Tregs (CD4+ CD25+ FoxP3+ T cells) in peripheral blood was significantly decreased in patients with AIN. Analysis of the T cell receptor (TCR)-Vβ repertoire of CD4+ T cells revealed skewed usages in patients with AIN compared with that observed in age-matched control subjects. Regarding T cell subsets, the use of four of 24 TCR-Vβ families in Tregs and one in conventional T cells were increased in patients with AIN. The number of patients with AIN who showed skewed usages of TCR-Vβ family in conventional and Tregs was significantly higher than that reported in control subjects. When the preference between Tregs and conventional T cells in each TCR-Vβ family was individually compared, different use was prominently observed in the TCR-Vβ 9 family in patients with AIN. These results suggest that the quantitative abnormalities of Tregs and the skew of the TCR-Vβ repertoire in CD4+ T cells, including Tregs and conventional T cells, may be related to autoantibody production through a human neutrophil antigen-reactive T cell clone.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are fewer reports about whether the presence of hematuria affects the progression of chronic kidney disease in patients with diabetic nephropathy. We analyzed whether microscopic hematuria in diabetic nephropathy is a risk factor for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The present study was a retrospective cohort study of patients with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy. We recruited 397 patients with diabetic nephropathy, which was confirmed by renal biopsy between June 1981 and December 2014 and followed them until October 2018 or death. Patients with microscopic hematuria before renal biopsy were defined as the hematuria group (n=91), and the remainder as the no-hematuria group (n=306). The main outcome was the occurrence of ESKD, which was defined by the requirement of permanent renal replacement therapies. RESULTS The systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum creatinine and proteinuria were significantly higher, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly lower in the hematuria group compared with the no-hematuria group. Pathological evaluations revealed that glomerular, tubulointerstitial and vascular lesions in the hematuria group were significantly more severe. During a median of 10.1 years, 44 and 52 patients developed ESKD in the hematuria group and the no-hematuria group, respectively. Survival analyses showed that the incidence of ESKD was significantly higher in the hematuria group compared with the no-hematuria group (log-rank, p<0.0001). The multivariable Cox proportional hazards models revealed a significant association between hematuria and the incidence of ESKD after adjusting for clinically relevant factors, including proteinuria and renal pathology (adjusted HR 1.64, 95% CI 1.03 to 2.60). The subgroups of men, proteinuria ≥0.5 g/day, and systolic blood pressure ≥132 mm Hg showed a stronger association between hematuria and ESKD than their opposing subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Microscopic hematuria is a risk factor for ESKD in diabetic nephropathy, independent of proteinuria and renal pathology.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) has multiple health benefits, current global activity levels among children are quite low. Environmental influences on MVPA levels among children and adolescents in rural areas are unclear. The present study examined if environmental factors were associated with MVPA in children and adolescents in rural Japan.
Methods
Two school-based serial surveys were conducted in 2017 and 2018 for 1,461 children and adolescents (10-14 years old) in Unnan City, Japan. If meeting the WHO recommended MVPA levels: at least 60 minutes/day was assessed via the Japanese translation of the WHO Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey questionnaire. Environmental factors, namely habitable land area, population size, and population density were calculated for each individuals' residential town, and categorized into three levels (small, medium, and large). Logistic regression was used to determine odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of engaging in the recommended level of MVPA after 1 year by each environmental factor, adjusting for sex, school grades, body mass index, screen time, preference for PA, and MVPA level at baseline.
Results
Only 22.4% of children and adolescents were engaging in the recommended MVPA levels in 2018. Engaging in the recommended level of MVPA after 1 year was significantly associated with medium (OR = 1.63; 95%CI, 1.08-2.46) and large (OR = 1.69; 95%CI, 1.15-2.47) compared to small habitable areas, and with medium (OR = 1.01; 95%CI, 0.61-1.67) and large (OR = 1.75; 95%CI, 1.09-2.81) compared to small population size. Population density was not associated with MVPA.
Conclusions
This prospective study found that habitable area and population size were positively associated with MVPA at 1-year follow-up in rural Japan. In rural areas, habitable land areas and population size itself may be a better predictor for MVPA among children than population density.
Key messages
Habitable area and population size was positively associated with physical activity among children and adolescents in rural Japan. Population density as an environmental factor was not associated with physical activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To investigate the incidence of type 1 diabetes by age group (0-19, 20-39, 40-59, ≥60 years) in Japan and whether there is seasonality in this incidence. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The incidence of type 1 diabetes from September 2014 to August 2017 was estimated using 2013-2018 data from the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Check-ups of Japan. The incidence rate was analyzed using Tango's Index and the self-controlled case series method. RESULTS Overall, 10 400 of the 79 175 553 included individuals were diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The incidence of type 1 diabetes from September 2014 to August 2017 was 4.42/100 000 person-years. The incidence rates for men aged 0-19, 20-39, 40-59, and ≥60 years were 3.94, 5.57, 5.70, and 3.48, respectively. Among women, the incidence rates for the same age ranges were 5.22, 4.83, 4.99, and 3.31, respectively. Tango's index showed that the incidence rate of type 1 diabetes was significantly associated with seasons among those aged 0-19 years. Further, the self-controlled case series method showed a significant interaction between age and season, with the incidence of type 1 diabetes being higher in spring for patients younger than 20 years of age. CONCLUSIONS In Japan, men aged 40-59 years and women aged 0-19 years are the groups with the highest incidence of type 1 diabetes. Further, the incidence of younger-onset diabetes in Japan was higher in spring (from March to May).

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Although the epidemiological relationship between hypoglycemia and increased risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been well established, the time period for increased risk of ACS after a severe hypoglycemic episode remains unknown. The present study aimed to determine the ACS risk after a severe hypoglycemic episode. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a retrospective population-based cohort study based on national claims data in Japan. We retrieved data of diabetes patients aged ≥35 years collected from April 2014 to March 2016. The absolute risk of ACS was defined as the occurrence of an emergency percutaneous coronary intervention after a severe hypoglycemic episode. RESULTS In total, data of 7,909,626 patients were included in the analysis. The absolute risk of ACS was 2.9 out of 1,000 person-years in all patients. ACS risk in patients with severe hypoglycemic episodes was 3.0 out of 1,000 person-years. Severe hypoglycemic episodes increased the absolute risk of ACS in patients aged ≥70 years, but not in patients aged <70 years. The absolute risk of ACS was 10.6 out of 1,000 person-years within 10 days of a severe hypoglycemic episode. There was a significant trend between shorter duration after an episode and higher ACS risk. CONCLUSIONS Severe hypoglycemia was associated with an increased risk of ACS in elderly diabetes patients. ACS risk increased with a shorter period after a severe hypoglycemic episode, suggesting that severe hypoglycemia leads to an increased risk of ACS in diabetes patients. These findings show that it is important to avoid severe hypoglycemia while treating diabetes, particularly in elderly patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and compare the efficacy of long-term use of low-dose aspirin for the prevention of dementia in men and women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This study is a follow-up cohort study of the Japanese Primary Prevention of Atherosclerosis With Aspirin for Diabetes (JPAD) trial, which was a randomized, open-label, standard care-controlled trial examining the effects of low-dose aspirin on cardiovascular events. We followed up 2,536 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) enrolled in the JPAD trial from 2002 to 2017. The primary outcome of this post hoc analysis was the incidence of dementia, which was defined by the prescription of antidementia drugs or admission due to dementia. RESULTS Among the originally enrolled patients, 2,121 (84%) retained their original allocation. During a median follow-up of 11.4 years, 128 patients developed dementia. The overall effect of low-dose aspirin on the prevention of dementia adjusted for age, sex, and other established risk factors was not significant (hazard ratio [HR] 0.82, 95% CI 0.58-1.16). However, a significant reduction was seen in the risk of dementia in women (HR 0.58, 95% CI 0.36-0.95), but not in men (HR 1.27, 95% CI 0.75-2.13) (P interaction = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Long-term use of low-dose aspirin may reduce the risk for dementia in women with T2D.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Takotsubo syndrome is generally considered a benign disease with a reversible condition; however, hemodynamic and electrical instability during the acute phase exposes patients to the risk of serious adverse in-hospital events. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of the left ventricular longitudinal and circumferential function in patients with TTS during the acute phase.
Methods
We divided the 27 patients with TTS (77.4 ± 10.2 years old, 21 females) into two groups; the severe group (SG) of 9 patients (in-hospital death, mechanical assist devices such as IABP or ECMO, oozing rupture) and non-severe group (NSG) of 18 patients. The echocardiographic examination on admission, catheter hemodynamic assessment, and laboratory data, and ST-T change in electrocardiogram were compared between two groups.
Results
There were no differences in age, laboratory data, electrocardiogram findings between the two groups. The LVEF was lower in SG (35.3 ± 6.1% vs. 45.9 ± 13.5%, p = 0.03). The index of Ballooning, the ratio of the systolic left ventricular diameter of ballooning segments to that of basal segments, was higher in SG (2.07 ± 0.61% vs.1.60 ± 0.32%, p = 0.016). The circumferential fractional shortening (CFS) of ballooning segments was lower in SG (4.6 ± 3.2% vs. 18.2 ± 8.2%, p = 0.00007), CFS of basal segments was not different between the two groups, and the ratio of CFS of ballooning segments to CFS of basal segments (CFS imbalance index) was lower in SG (5.60 ± 3.84 vs. 10.83 ± 3.92, p = 0.00003). The left ventricular longitudinal fractional shortening was lower in SG (0.12 ± 0.09 vs. 0.46 ± 0.19, p = 0.00003). The absolute value of GLS was lower in SG (7.6 ± 4.3% vs. 13.0 ± 3.6%, p = 0.002). In all three cases of in-hospital death, the CFS imbalance index was lower than 0.14.
Conclusion
In patients with TTS, left ventricular longitudinal and circumferential function could be related to serious adverse in-hospital events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With increasing interest in addressing quality of life of older individuals, tests such as the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) are widely used measures of infirmity and burden of care. However, these scales are largely qualitative and especially problematic when assessing movement-based tasks. While effective, reliable analysis of human movement is technically complicated and expensive; an infrared depth sensor is potentially a low-cost, portable devise which may provide a quantitative aspect to clinical testing. OBJECTIVE to assess the utility of the KinectTM sensor in providing an objective evaluation of human movement using an oft measured ADL (chair stand). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Community, geriatric day-care center in Japan. PARTICIPANTS Men (n=136) and women (n=266) between 50 and 93 years of age, consisting of healthy (HE; n=312) and physically frail (FR; n= 90) individuals. MEASUREMENTS Subjects completed two trials of the chair stand, conducted without assistance. Trials were timed and recorded with KinectTM v2. Coronal plane angle (CPA) was determined by a line transecting the shoulder-center and waist relative to the vertical axis and was used to assess quality of the chair stand movement pattern. RESULTS Age, height, and body mass were not different between groups. CPA was significantly greater in FR (29.3 ± 8.3°) than HE (19.5 ± 6.5°). CPA and age were significantly related (r=0.148, p<0.01). An optimal threshold for CPA identifying frailty was determined by a receiver-operator characteristic curve with a CPA of 23.1° providing the greatest combination of sensitivity (79%) and specificity (73%). CONCLUSION During the chair stand, frail older adults adopted a forward lean position (increased CPA) compared to healthy older adults. This compensatory posture appears to facilitate torso rotation while reducing lower-limb muscular effort during standing. As such, CPA serves as an indicator of reduced lower-body function in older, frail adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Albuminuria is a risk factor for cardiovascular events in diabetic patients, but it is unknown whether proteinuria is also a risk factor for cardiovascular events in these patients. METHODS The Japanese Primary Prevention of Atherosclerosis with Aspirin for Diabetes (JPAD) trial was performed between 2002 and 2008 to examine the efficacy of low-dose aspirin therapy for the primary prevention of cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes patients. After the JPAD trial was completed, we continued to follow up the patients until 2015. Among the 2536 patients participating in the JPAD study, 42 were excluded because proteinuria was not checked at registration. We divided the patients into two groups: proteinuria group (n = 446; proteinuria ± or greater) and non-proteinuria groups (n = 2048; proteinuria -). We compared the incident rate of cardiovascular events between the two groups. RESULTS During the observation period [median, 10.3 (10.2-10.5) years], 332 patients had a first cardiovascular event. Among 332 patients, 136 patients had cerebrovascular events and 54 patients had acute myocardial infarction. The incidence rate of cardiovascular events was significantly higher in the proteinuria group compared with the non-proteinuria group (HR 1.75, 95%CI 1.36-2.23, p < 0.0001). The incidence rate of cerebrovascular events was also significantly higher in the proteinuria group than in the non-proteinuria group (HR 1.71, 95%CI 1.14-2.49, p = 0.0064). The Cox proportional hazards model revealed that proteinuria was independently associated with cardiovascular events in diabetic patients without a history of cardiovascular events after adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, hemoglobin A1c level, duration of diabetes, and estimated glomerular filtration rate. CONCLUSIONS Proteinuria was independently associated with the incidence of primary cardiovascular events in diabetic patients. Proteinuria detected by the dipstick test, which is simple and inexpensive, is useful as a first step in the risk assessment of diabetic patients.

Abstract
Background The presence of extraintestinal manifestations may be associated with the development of pouchitis in patients with ulcerative colitis after ileal pouch–anal anastomosis. The aim of this study was to assess this correlation. Methods A systematic literature search was performed using MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library. Studies published in English up to 22 May 2017 investigating the association between extraintestinal manifestations and development of pouchitis in adults with ulcerative colitis were included. Case reports were excluded. The association of extraintestinal manifestations with the development of overall and chronic pouchitis was investigated using a random‐effects model. Results Of 1010 citations identified, 22 observational studies comprising 5128 patients were selected for analysis. The presence of extraintestinal manifestations was significantly associated with both chronic pouchitis (odds ratio 2·28, 95 per cent c.i. 1·57 to 3·32; P = 0·001) and overall pouchitis (odds ratio 1·96, 1·49 to 2·57; P < 0·001). Conclusion The presence of extraintestinal manifestations is associated with development of pouchitis after ileal pouch–anal anastomosis.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Although patient self-efficacy is known to affect adherence to therapy, no available tool measures self-efficacy of insulin therapy administration while addressing the entire therapeutic process and management. In light of this, we developed the 'Insulin Therapy Self-efficacy Scale (ITSS).' MATERIALS AND METHODS Development of the ITSS involved three phases: (i) item generation and creation of a questionnaire draft; (ii) testing and correcting the items through interviews with patients; and (iii) a multicenter, single-arm study to validate the questionnaire. RESULTS A factor analysis and Cronbach's α both confirmed good internal consistency in the patients' confidence regarding the following four factors: the insulin injection procedure, insulin titration, glycemic control and ability to cope with hypoglycemia. Reproducibility was confirmed using weighted κ statistics and intraclass correlations. Good concurrent validity was confirmed with two other questionnaires. The ITSS score was also found to correlate with several patient characteristics and clinical parameters, as well as with a better adherence to injected insulin therapy 6 months later, suggesting the predictive validity of this scale. CONCLUSIONS The ITSS is a reliable and valid tool for assessing and quantifying patients' self-efficacy. The ITSS estimation of self-efficacy can predict a patient's glycemic control and future adherence to insulin therapy. These characteristics will ensure the usefulness of the ITSS in ensuring a successful therapeutic process for patients and physicians.
