Abstract
Abstract
Background
Skeletal muscle atrophy is an independent prognostic predictor for patients with chronic heart failure, and the concept of sarcopenia is drawing attention. Furthermore, the importance of not only muscle mass but also intramuscular fat (IMF) has been pointed out. However, there is a lack of consensus on the implications of ectopic fat for the prognosis in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Purpose
We investigated whether ectopic fat in the thigh affects the prognosis with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Methods
We recruited 105 patients who were diagnosed with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy by cardiac catheterization and echocardiographic date between September 2017 and November 2019. Finally 73 patients with reduced EF (EF 40% or less) enrolled in this prospective study. Functional status was evaluated by using cardiopulmonary exercise test at baseline. All patients were measured quantity of epicardial fat and thigh IMF percentage (%IMF) using computed tomography scan. Demographic, laboratory and echocardiographic date were collected from the patients' medical records. Clinical endpoints were unexpected readmission.
Results
During the follow-up period 18 patients had adverse events. The %IMF was significantly higher in the group with adverse events than without (5.57±5.70 and 3.02±2.44%, respectively; p<0.01). Spearman correlation coefficient analysis showed a modest correlation between %IMF and lower limb extension strength (Spearman r=−0.280; p=0.0315), but there was no significant correlation between %IMF and exercise tolerance such as anaerobic threshold and peak oxygen uptake. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the median values of %IMF. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that events were significantly higher in the high %IMF group (log-rank p=0.033). Multivariate Cox regression analysis adjusted for left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and peak ventricular oxygen consumption found %IMF as an independent factor of adverse events (hazard ratio 1.545; 95% confidential interval 1.151–2.087; p=0.004).
Conclusions
In non-ischemic cardiomyopathy patients with reduced EF, %IMF may have important adverse consequences such as increased cardiac-related events.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been recognized to contribute inflammatory activity and atherosclerosis. On the other hand, it has been reported that the volume of EAT is lower in non-ischemic heart failure (HF) patients than healthy individuals. However, the difference in regional muscle-adipose distribution including EAT between HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and HF reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has not been investigated. In addition, we investigated whether distribution of body composition contributed to exercise capacity.
Methods
The study included 105 non-ischemic HF patients diagnosed by cardiac catheterization between September 2017 and November 2019. Epicardial, abdominal and thigh muscle and adipose tissue volume were measured by computed tomography (CT), and exercise tolerance was evaluated by symptom-limited cardiopulmonary exercise test.
Results
Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the left ventricular ejection fraction, ≥40% as HFpEF (n=28) or <40% as HFrEF (n=77). There was no significant difference comorbidity, including hypertension, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease, and body mass index. Plasma B-type natriuretic peptide level was significantly higher in HFrEF than HFpEF group (146.2 vs 393.2 pg/ml, p<0.01), whereas, high-sensitive troponin T level was not different between two groups. Although there was no significant difference in BMI between two groups, the volume of EAT was significantly higher in HFpEF than HFrEF group (81.8 vs 136.4 ml, p=0.01). On the other hand, HFpEF had more thigh adipose tissue compared with HFrEF group (54.6 vs 42.1 ml, p=0.03). There were negative correlations between EAT volume and parameters of exercise capacity such as anaerobic threshold (r=−0.42, p<0.01) and peak VO2 (r=−0.32, p<0.01). Muscle volume itself does not corelate with these parameters.
Conclusion
In patient with nonischemic HF, the pattern of regional adipose distribution may have important role in pathologically. HFpEF and HFrEF has different pattern despite similar body mass index. These differences may be related to impaired exercise tolerance in these 2 different types of HF.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Do monosomy rescue (MR) and trisomy rescue (TR) in preimplantation human embryos affect other developmental processes, such as X-chromosome inactivation (XCI)? SUMMARY ANSWER Aneuploid rescue precedes XCI and increases the incidence of XCI skewness by reducing the size of the embryonic progenitor cell pools. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY More than half of preimplantation human embryos harbor aneuploid cells, some of which can be spontaneously corrected through MR or TR. XCI in females is an indispensable process, which is predicted to start at the early-blastocyst phase. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION We examined the frequency of XCI skewness in young females who carried full uniparental disomy (UPD) resulting from MR or TR/gamete complementation (GC). The results were statistically analyzed using a theoretical model in which XCI involves various numbers of embryonic progenitor cells. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS We studied 39 children and young adults ascertained by imprinting disorders. XCI ratios were determined by DNA methylation analysis of a polymorphic locus in the androgen receptor gene. We used Bayesian approach to assess the probability of the occurrence of extreme XCI skewness in the MR and TR/GC groups using a theoretical model of 1-12 cell pools. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE A total of 12 of 39 individuals (31%) showed skewed XCI. Extreme skewness was observed in 3 of 15 MR cases (20%) and 1 of 24 TR/GC cases (4.2%). Statistical analysis indicated that XCI in the MR group was likely to have occurred when the blastocyst contained three or four euploid embryonic progenitor cells. The estimated size of the embryonic progenitor cell pools was approximately one-third or one-fourth of the predicted size of normal embryos. The TR/GC group likely had a larger pool size at the onset of XCI, although the results remained inconclusive. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION This is an observational study and needs to be validated by experimental analyses. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS This study provides evidence that the onset of XCI is determined by an intrinsic clock, irrespectively of the number of embryonic progenitor cells. Our findings can also be applied to individuals without UPD or imprinting disorders. This study provides a clue to understand chromosomal and cellular dynamics in the first few days of human development, their effects on XCI skewing and the possible implications for the expression of X-linked diseases in females.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease is characterized by decreased dopamine and increased beta-band oscillatory activity accompanying debilitating motor and mood impairments. Coordinate dopamine-beta opposition is considered a normative rule for basal ganglia function. We report a breakdown of this rule. We developed multimodal systems allowing the first simultaneous, chronic recordings of dopamine release and beta-band activity in the striatum of nonhuman primates during behavioral performance. Dopamine and beta signals were anticorrelated over seconds-long time frames, in agreement with the posited rule, but at finer time scales, we identified conditions in which these signals were modulated with the same polarity. These measurements demonstrated that task-elicited beta suppressions preceded dopamine peaks and that relative dopamine-beta timing and polarity depended on reward value, performance history, movement, and striatal domain. These findings establish a new view of coordinate dopamine and beta signaling operations, critical to guide novel strategies for diagnosing and treating Parkinson's disease and related neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
The precise measurement of cosmic-ray antinuclei serves as an important means for identifying the nature of dark matter and other new astrophysical phenomena, and could be used with other cosmic-ray species to understand cosmic-ray production and propagation in the Galaxy. For instance, low-energy antideuterons would provide a "smoking gun" signature of dark matter annihilation or decay, essentially free of astrophysical background. Studies in recent years have emphasized that models for cosmic-ray antideuterons must be considered together with the abundant cosmic antiprotons and any potential observation of antihelium. Therefore, a second dedicated Antideuteron Workshop was organized at UCLA in March 2019, bringing together a community of theorists and experimentalists to review the status of current observations of cosmic-ray antinuclei, the theoretical work towards understanding these signatures, and the potential of upcoming measurements to illuminate ongoing controversies. This review aims to synthesize this recent work and present implications for the upcoming decade of antinuclei observations and searches. This includes discussion of a possible dark matter signature in the AMS-02 antiproton spectrum, the most recent limits from BESS Polar-II on the cosmic antideuteron flux, and reports of candidate antihelium events by AMS-02; recent collider and cosmic-ray measurements relevant for antinuclei production models; the state of cosmic-ray transport models in light of AMS-02 and Voyager data; and the prospects for upcoming experiments, such as GAPS. This provides a roadmap for progress on cosmic antinuclei signatures of dark matter in the coming years.

Abstract
Background The role of antithrombotic chemoprophylaxis in prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in laparoscopic surgery for gastric and colorectal malignancies is unknown. This study compared the addition of enoxaparin following intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) with IPC alone in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for gastrointestinal malignancy. Methods In this multicentre RCT, eligible patients were older than 40 years and had a WHO performance status of 0 or 1. Exclusion criteria were prescription of antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs and history of VTE. Patients were allocated to IPC or to ICP with enoxaparin in a 1 : 1 ratio. Stratification factors included sex, location of cancer, age 61 years and over, and institution. Enoxaparin was administered on days 1–7 after surgery. Primary outcome was VTE, evaluated by multidetector CT on day 7. Results Of 448 patients randomized, 208 in the IPC group and 182 in the IPC with enoxaparin group were evaluated. VTE occurred in ten patients (4·8 per cent) in the IPC group and six (3·3 per cent) in the IPC with enoxaparin group (P = 0·453). Proximal deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism occurred in seven patients (3·4 per cent) in the IPC group and one patient (0·5 per cent) in the IPC with enoxaparin group (P = 0·050). All VTE events were asymptomatic and non‐fatal. Bleeding occurred in 11 of 202 patients in the IPC with enoxaparin group, and one patient needed a transfusion. All bleeding events were managed by discontinuation of the drug. Conclusion IPC with enoxaparin after laparoscopic surgery for gastric and colorectal malignancies did not reduce the rate of VTE.

Abstract
UNLABELLED There is still a lack of evidence that minodronate or denosumab prevents bone loss due to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in non-Western patients. This study showed that both drugs significantly improved lumbar spine and total hip bone mineral density in Asian men with prostate cancer who received ADT. INTRODUCTION To evaluate whether monthly oral minodronate or semiannual subcutaneous injection of denosumab improves bone mineral density (BMD) in Asian men with prostate cancer (PCa) receiving ADT. METHODS A multicenter, open-label, randomized, controlled study including patients with hormone-sensitive PCa without bone metastasis receiving ADT was performed. Patients were randomized (1:1:1) to minodronate, denosumab, or no agent control groups. The primary end point was the mean percentage change in BMD at the lumbar spine at 12 months. Secondary end points were the mean percentage change in BMD at the femoral neck and total hip and changes in bone turnover markers. Statistical comparison was performed using analysis of covariance. RESULTS Of the 147 subjects enrolled in this study, 102 were randomly assigned into the minodronate (n = 36), denosumab (n = 36), and control (n = 30) groups. The percentage change in BMD at the lumbar spine was significantly improved in the minodronate (2.5%, p < 0.05) and denosumab groups (4.0%, p < 0.01) compared with that in the control group (- 0.1%). Denosumab increased BMD at the femoral neck and total hip at 12 months, whereas minodronate only increased BMD at the total hip compared with controls (all p < 0.05). The percentage change in bone turnover markers at 12 months was significantly lower in the minodronate and denosumab groups compared with that in the control group (both p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Minodronate or denosumab can be used for preventing bone loss related to ADT in Asian patients with PCa.

Abstract
Background:There are several reports that cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation resulted in more co-infections affecting survival in rheumatic disease, and CMV reactivation can lead to infections in granulomatosis with polyangiitis patients by inducing CD4+CD28- T cell and depressing naïve T cell populations.1-4Despite this evidence, the prognostic value of CMV reactivation for severe infections in patients with connective tissue disease are still unknown.Objectives:The aim of this study was to examine prognostic factors for severe infection during the early phase of treatment, especially in CMV reactivation, in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) who received initial high dose corticosteroid therapy (prednisolone > 0.8mg/kg/day).Methods:We analyzed the data of 88 consecutive hospitalized patients newly diagnosed with AAV at our hospital from January 2006 to March 2019 in this retrospective cohort study. There were 32 patients with CMV reactivation during remission induction therapy compared to 56 patients without CMV reactivation. CMV reactivation was defined by the detection of CMV pp65 antigen in blood samples, and CMV positive cells ≥ 5 per 3.0 × 105polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs). The variable for severe infections within 180 days with apvalue < 0.1 in univariate analysis were selected for multivariate analysis using the Cox regression model. The positive predictive value (PPV) and positive likelihood ratio (PLR) of CMV reactivation for subsequent severe infections were also analyzed.Results:Patients with CMV reactivation, compared to those without, had a higher prevalence of MPO-ANCA, renal manifestation and renal impairment at diagnosis, received hemodialysis (HD), higher revised five factor score (FFS), older age, higher Birmingham Vasculitis Activity Score at diagnosis, and higher initial doses of corticosteroids (CS) at baseline. Revised FFS ≥ 2, renal involvement, high initial serum creatinine (≥ 1.5 mg/dl) at diagnosis, received HD, and CMV reactivation were associated with severe infections in the univariate analysis, although receiving cyclophosphamide or rituximab was not. Among these variables, CMV reactivation (Hazard ratio [HR] 3.50; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.22-10.10;p= 0.02) and high initial serum creatinine at diagnosis (HR 8.09; 95%CI: 2.00-32.73;p< 0.01) were independent risk factors for severe infections within 180 days. (Table 1) The PPV and PLR of CMV reactivation for subsequent severe infections were 35% and 1.91.

Abstract
Background:Adiponectin is a major adipokine with pleiotropic effects on inflammatory conditions including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Adiponectin generally has anti-atherogenic effects, and its serum level inversely correlates with body mass index (BMI) and visceral fat area (VFA). On the other hand, several studies have indicated a deleterious role of adiponectin in RA progression [1]. Recently, both low BMI and increased serum adiponectin have been reported as poor prognostic factors of RA [2, 3]. However, large-scale surveys have not been done focusing on both BMI and serum adiponectin, and it is unclear which factor provides further contribution to RA disease activity. In addition, the effects of biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) and Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors on serum adiponectin are largely unknown.Objectives:To clarify the relationship among serum adiponectin, body composition, current disease activity and therapeutic agents of RA.Methods:We conducted a cross-sectional study in RA patients under treatment with agents including bDMARDs and JAK inhibitors. A total of 351 subjects from the Kyoto University RA Management Alliance cohort (KURAMA) were enrolled. We classified the participants into five body composition groups (overweight with or without visceral adiposity, normal with or without visceral adiposity, and underweight), according to the cut-off points for obesity and visceral fat used in Japan: BMI, 18.5 kg/m2for underweight and 25.0 kg/m2for obesity, and VFA, 100 cm2for visceral adiposity. Differences of continuous variables among the five groups were assessed by the Steel-Dwass test or one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). We adopted a multiple standardized linear regression model to analyze effects of serum adiponectin level on DAS28-ESR.Results:Serum adiponectin levels (20.9±12.5 vs. 14.7±8.4 µg/ml, p < 0.001) and DAS28-ESR (3.04±1.0 vs. 2.63±0.9,p= 0.017) in the underweight group were significantly higher than those in the others. In multiple regression analysis, serum adiponectin level, but not BMI, was positively correlated with DAS28-ESR (estimate = 0.0127,p= 0.0258). Subanalysis also showed that the use of bDMARD or JAK inhibitor did not have an obvious influence on circulating adiponectin.Conclusion:In the multiple regression analysis we revealed a positive and independent correlation between serum adiponectin and DAS28-ESR in Japanese RA patients. Thus, serum adiponectin is an potential marker reflecting high disease activity of RA regardless of current medications.References:[1]Frommer KW, Zimmermann B, Meier FM, Schroder D, Heil M, Schaffler A, et al.

Abstract
Electron antineutrino appearance is measured by the T2K experiment in an accelerator-produced antineutrino beam, using additional neutrino beam operation to constrain parameters of the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata (PMNS) mixing matrix. T2K observes 15 candidate electron antineutrino events with a background expectation of 9.3 events. Including information from the kinematic distribution of observed events, the hypothesis of no electron antineutrino appearance is disfavored with a significance of 2.40σ and no discrepancy between data and PMNS predictions is found. A complementary analysis that introduces an additional free parameter which allows non-PMNS values of electron neutrino and antineutrino appearance also finds no discrepancy between data and PMNS predictions.

Abstract
Background The Endoscopic Surgical Skill Qualification System (ESSQS) was introduced in Japan to improve the quality of laparoscopic surgery. This cohort study investigated the short‐ and long‐term postoperative outcomes of colorectal cancer laparoscopic procedures performed by or with qualified surgeons compared with outcomes for unqualified surgeons. Methods All laparoscopic colorectal resections performed from 2010 to 2013 in 11 Japanese hospitals were reviewed retrospectively. The procedures were categorized as performed by surgeons with or without the ESSQS qualification and patients' clinical, pathological and surgical features were used to match subgroups using propensity scoring. Outcome measures included postoperative and long‐term results. Results Overall, 1428 procedures were analysed; 586 procedures were performed with ESSQS‐qualified surgeons and 842 were done by ESSQS‐unqualified surgeons. Upon matching, two cohorts of 426 patients were selected for comparison of short‐term results. A prevalence of rectal resection (50·3 versus 40·5 per cent; P < 0·001) and shorter duration of surgery (230 versus 238 min; P = 0·045) was reported for the ESSQS group. Intraoperative and postoperative complication and reoperation rates were significantly lower in the ESSQS group than in the non‐ESSQS group (1·2 versus 3·6 per cent, P = 0·014; 4·6 versus 7·5 per cent, P = 0·025; 1·9 versus 3·9 per cent, P = 0·023, respectively). These findings were confirmed after propensity score matching. Cox regression analysis found that non‐attendance of ESSQS‐qualified surgeons (hazard ratio 12·30, 95 per cent c.i. 1·28 to 119·10; P = 0·038) was independently associated with local recurrence in patients with stage II disease. Conclusion Laparoscopic colorectal procedures performed with ESSQS‐qualified surgeons showed improved postoperative results. Further studies are needed to investigate the impact of the qualification on long‐term oncological outcomes.

Abstract
The isovalent-substituted iron pnictide compound SrFe2(As1−xPx)2 exhibits multiple evidence for nodal superconductivity via various experimental probes, such as the penetration depth, nuclear magnetic resonance and specific heat measurements. The direct identification of the nodal superconducting (SC) gap structure is challenging, partly because the presence of nodes is not protected by symmetry but instead caused by an accidental sign change of the order parameter, and also because of the three-dimensionality of the electronic structure. We have studied the SC gaps of SrFe2(As0.65P0.35)2 in three-dimensional momentum space by synchrotron and laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The three hole Fermi surfaces (FSs) at the zone center have SC gaps with different magnitudes, whereas the SC gaps of the electron FSs at the zone corner are almost isotropic and kz-independent. As a possible nodal SC gap structure, we propose that the SC gap of the outer hole FS changes sign around the Z-X [(0, 0, 2π) − (π, π, 2π)] direction.
