Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of adipose-derived cells (ADCs) on tendon-bone healing in a rat model of chronic rotator cuff tear (RCT) with suprascapular nerve (SN) injury. METHODS Adult rats underwent right shoulder surgery whereby the supraspinatus was detached, and SN injury was induced. ADCs were cultured from the animals' abdominal fat. At 6 weeks post-surgery, the animals underwent surgical tendon repair; the ADC (+ve) group (n = 18) received an ADC injection, and the ADC (-ve) group (n = 18) received a saline injection. Shoulders were harvested at 10, 14, and 18 weeks and underwent histological, fluorescent, and biomechanical analyses. RESULTS In the ADC (+ve) group, a firm enthesis, including dense mature fibrocartilage and well-aligned cells, were observed in the bone-tendon junction and fatty infiltration was less than in the ADC (-ve) group. Mean maximum stress and linear stiffness was greater in the ADC (+ve) compared with the ADC (-ve) group at 18 weeks. CONCLUSION ADC supplementation showed a positive effect on tendon-bone healing in a rat model of chronic RCT with accompanying SN injury. Therefore, ADC injection may possibly accelerate recovery in massive RCT injuries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Our purpose was to quantify the postoperative rotation deformity (RD) after osteosynthesis of unstable intertrochanteric fractures (ITFx) using 3D-CT / image processing software, and to clarify the clinical meaning of RD. METHODS Forty-six consecutive patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures were enrolled in this study. All were fixed with Gamma 3 Trochanteric nail and RC Lag Screw® (Stryker). We performed 3D-CT evaluations for the rotational deformity of head-neck fragments, the medial cortex support (MCS) between main fragments and bone healing at 3 months postoperatively. RESULTS The RD was significantly larger in the patients without the MCS (5.1 ± 4.0°, N = 9) than those with the MCS (2.4 ± 2.6°, N = 37) (P = 0.006*). Delayed healing (N=3) was observed in patients without the MCS, and the association between RD and delayed healing was significant (P = 0.003*, cut-off value 6.4°, sensitivity 100% and specificity 90.7%, AUC 0.91). CONCLUSIONS This study proposed a novel method of measuring postoperative RD. Lack of MCS may lead to RD and consequent delayed healing in unstable ITFx fixed with intramedullary nails.

Abstract
The T2K experiment presents new measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters using 19.7 ( 16.3 ) × 10 20 protons on target (POT) in (anti-)neutrino mode at the far detector (FD). Compared to the previous analysis, an additional 4.7 × 10 20 POT neutrino data was collected at the FD. Significant improvements were made to the analysis methodology, with the near-detector analysis introducing new selections and using more than double the data. Additionally, this is the first T2K oscillation analysis to use NA61/SHINE data on a replica of the T2K target to tune the neutrino flux model, and the neutrino interaction model was improved to include new nuclear effects and calculations. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses are presented, including results on sin 2 θ 13 and the impact of priors on the δ CP measurement. Both analyses prefer the normal mass ordering and upper octant of sin 2 θ 23 with a nearly maximally CP-violating phase. Assuming the normal ordering and using the constraint on sin 2 θ 13 from reactors, sin 2 θ 23 = 0 . 561 - 0.032 + 0.021 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and Δ m 32 2 = 2 . 494 - 0.058 + 0.041 × 10 - 3 eV 2 using constant Δ χ 2 intervals. The CP-violating phase is constrained to δ CP = - 1 . 97 - 0.70 + 0.97 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and δ CP = 0 , π is excluded at more than 90% confidence level. A Jarlskog invariant of zero is excluded at more than 2 σ credible level using a flat prior in δ CP , and just below 2 σ using a flat prior in sin δ CP . When the external constraint on sin 2 θ 13 is removed, sin 2 θ 13 = 28 . 0 - 6.5 + 2.8 × 10 - 3 , in agreement with measurements from reactor experiments. These results are consistent with previous T2K analyses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A supervised physiotherapy program (SPP) is a standard regimen after surgical rotator cuff repair (RCR); however, the effect of a home-based exercise program (HEP), as an alternative, on postoperative functional recovery remains unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the functional effects of SPP and HEP after RCR. METHODS We searched electronic databases including Central, Medline, and Embase in April 2022. The primary outcomes included the Constant score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, University of California Los Angeles shoulder score, and pain score. Secondary outcomes included range of motion, muscle strength, retear rate, and patient satisfaction rate. A meta-analysis using random-effects models was performed on the pooled results to determine the significance. RESULTS The initial database search yielded 848 records, five of which met our criteria. Variables at 3 months after surgery were successfully analyzed, including the Constant score (mean difference, -8.51 points; 95% confidence interval [CI], -32.72 to 15.69; P=0.49) and pain score (mean difference, 0.02 cm; 95% CI, -2.29 to 2.33; P=0.99). There were no significant differences between the SPP and HEP. Other variables were not analyzed owing to the lack of data. CONCLUSIONS Our data showed no significant differences between SSP and HEP with regard to the Constant and pain scores at 3 months after RCR. These results suggest that HEP may be an alternative regimen after RCR. Level of evidence: I.

Abstract
Image-based deep learning (IBDL) is an advanced technique for predicting the surface irradiation conditions of laser surface processing technology. In pulsed-laser surface processing techniques, the number of superimposed laser shots is one of the fundamental and essential parameters that should be optimized for each material. Our primary research aims to build an adequate dataset using laser-irradiated surface images and to successfully predict the number of superimposed shots using the pre-trained deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models. First, the laser shot experiments were performed on copper targets using a nanosecond YAG laser with a wavelength of 532 nm. Then, the training data were obtained with the different superimposed shots of 1 to 1024 in powers of 2. After that, we used several pre-trained deep CNN models to predict the number of superimposed laser shots. Based on the dataset with 1936 images, VGG16 shows a high validation accuracy, higher sensitivity, and more than 99% precision than other deep CNN models. Utilizing the VGG16 model with high sensitivity could positively impact the industries' time, efficiency, and overall production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Massive rotator cuff tears (RCTs) are complicated by muscle atrophy, fibrosis, and intramuscular fatty degeneration, which are associated with postoperative tendon-to-bone healing failure and poor clinical outcomes. We evaluated muscle and enthesis changes in large tears with or without suprascapular nerve (SN) injury in a rat model. METHODS Sixty-two adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into SN injury (+) and SN injury (-) groups (n=31 each), comprising tendon (supraspinatus [SSP]/infraspinatus [ISP]) and nerve resection and tendon resection only cases, respectively. Muscle weight measurement, histological evaluation, and biomechanical testing were performed 4, 8, and 12 weeks postoperatively. Ultrastructural analysis with block face imaging was performed 8 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS SSP/ISP muscles in the SN injury (+) group appeared atrophic, with increased fatty tissue and decreased muscle weight, compared to those in the control and SN injury (-) groups. Immunoreactivity was only positive in the SN injury (+) group. Myofibril arrangement irregularity and mitochondrial swelling severity, along with number of fatty cells, were higher in the SN injury (+) group than in the SN injury (-) group. The bone-tendon junction enthesis was firm in the SN injury (-) group; this was atrophic and thinner in the SN injury (+) group, with decreased cell density and immature fibrocartilage. Mechanically, the tendon-bone insertion was significantly weaker in the SN injury (+) group than in the control and SN injury (+) groups. CONCLUSIONS In clinical settings, SN injury may cause severe fatty changes and inhibition of postoperative tendon healing in large RCTs. Level of evidence: Basic research, controlled laboratory study.

Abstract
To prevent the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), early detection and intervention are important. Several studies have already shown that the serum adiponectin level could be useful for evaluating the future risk of T2DM. Recently, plasma free amino acid (PFAA) concentrations have also emerged as potential biomarkers that predict the future onset of T2DM. In this study, we aimed to further characterise PFAA profiles by elucidating the association with the serum high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin level in this cross-sectional study. A total of 1000 Japanese subjects who underwent medical check-ups were enrolled, and their plasma concentrations of 21 amino acids and clinical parameters were measured. The subjects without T2DM were divided into quartiles (Q1-4) by serum HMW adiponectin level, and the association with between PFAA concentrations was analysed. Concentrations of glutamate, alanine, proline, tyrosine, histidine, methionine, lysine, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and tryptophan varied significantly according to the adiponectin quartile. Furthermore, serum adiponectin levels showed significant inverse correlations with these amino acids. The change in the PFAA profile in the group with the lowest adiponectin concentrations (Q1) was similar to that of T2DM patients. Although both adiponectin levels and PFAA concentrations are known to be altered by the accumulation of visceral fat and insulin resistance, the levels of glutamate, BCAA, lysine and tryptophan remain significantly associated with adiponectin level after adjustment for age, body mass index and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance, showing the direct association between PFAA concentrations and the serum HMW adiponectin level.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Horseshoe vortices are known to emerge around large-scale obstacles, such as bridge pillars, due to an inertia-driven adverse pressure gradient forming on the upstream-side of the obstacle. We contend that a similar flow structure can arise in thin-film Stokes flow around micro-obstacles, such as used in textured surfaces to improve wettability. This could be exploited to enhance mixing in microfluidic devices, typically limited to creeping-flow regimes. EXPERIMENTS Numerical simulations based on the Navier-Stokes equations are carried out to elucidate the flow structure associated with the wetting dynamics of a liquid film spreading around a 50 μm diameter micro-pillar. The employed multiphase solver, which is based on the volume of fluid method, accurately reproduces the wetting dynamics observed in current and previous (Mu et al., Langmuir, 2019) experiments. FINDINGS The flow structure within the liquid meniscus forming at the foot of the micro-pillar evinces a horseshoe vortex wrapping around the obstacle, notwithstanding that the Reynolds number in our system is extremely low. Here, the adverse pressure gradient driving flow reversal near the bounding wall is caused by capillarity instead of inertia. The horseshoe vortex is entangled with other vortical structures, leading to an intricate flow system with high-potential mixing capabilities.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are agents that act by inhibiting glucose and sodium reabsorption in the proximal renal tubule which promotes urinary glucose excretion. More recently, significant benefit data of SGLT2 inhibitors in patients with heart failure, independent of the presence of type 2 diabetes has been reported. We have previously demonstrated that Canagliflozin (Cana), a SGLT2 inhibitor, reduced the ventricular effective refractory period in isoproterenol (ISP)-induced myocardial injury rat model accompanied with the suppression of reactive oxygen species and the elevation of ketone bodies, suggesting the effect of Cana on electrical cardiac remodeling. The direct effect of Cana to the cardiomyocytes and its underlying molecular mechanism was remained to be clarified. We therefore established an ISP-induced neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocyte (NRVCM) in vitro model, pretreated with Cana and/or ketone bodies.
Methods
Primary NRVCM were isolated from Wistar rats, were pretreated by Cana with or without βOHB (the most abundant ketone body in circulation), followed by a stimulation of ISP (10μM). Cells without drug or ketone body pretreatment were used as control. We then analyzed its effect on cell viability, apoptosis, and mitochondrial membrane potential using MTT assay, TUNEL assay, and mitochondrial membrane potential assay, respectively. MTT assay was also performed with or without PI3k inhibitor, LY294002. The end-labeling of DNA fragmentation were labelled with FITC, followed by the nuclei counterstain with DAPI and were observed with confocal microscope. The apoptotic index was defined as the percentage of TUNEL positive cells / total nuclei.
Results
Cana rescued the reduction of NRVCM cell viability induced by ISP stimulation for 24 hours which was inhibited by LY294002 compared to cells without pretreatment. Interestingly, pretreatment of βOHB with or without Cana improved also the NRCVM cell viability whereas there was no significant difference between these two conditions or with cells treated with Cana only, suggesting the direct protective effect of Cana. In 48 hours of ISP stimulation, the apoptotic index intends to decrease in Cana and/or βOHB compared to cells without pretreatment (Figure 1). Although the mitochondrial function was maintained in Cana-pretreated cells compared to cells without pretreatment, there was no significant difference in βOHB-pretreated cells.
Conclusions
Cana has a direct protective effect on cardiomyocytes cell viability, apoptosis as well as the mitochondrial function impaired by ISP through the cell survival signaling PI3K/Akt pathway. This brings a new insight to the therapeutic target of cardiovascular disease.

Experimental data, corroborated by 2D PIC simulations, show that a few-nm thick overcoat surface layer of high Z material significantly improves ion bunching at high energies during the acceleration. This is diagnosed by simultaneous ion and neutron spectroscopy following irradiation of deuterated plastic targets. In particular, copious and directional neutron production (significantly larger than for other in-target schemes) arises, under optimal parameters, as a signature of plasma layer integrity during the acceleration.

Abstract
The periodontal ligament (PDL) contains mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that can differentiate into osteoblasts, cementoblasts, and fibroblasts. Nevertheless, the distribution and characteristics of these cells remain uncertain. Gli1, an essential hedgehog signaling transcription factor, functions in undifferentiated cells during embryogenesis. Therefore, in the present study, the differentiation ability of Gli1+ cells was examined using Gli1-CreERT2/ROSA26-loxP-stop-loxP-tdTomato (iGli1/Tomato) mice. In 4-wk-old iGli1/Tomato mice, Gli1/Tomato+ cells were only slightly detected in the PDL, around endomucin-expressing blood vessels. These cells had proliferated over time, localizing in the PDL as well as on the bone and cementum surfaces at day 28. However, in 8-wk-old iGli1/Tomato mice, Gli1/Tomato+ cells were quiescent, as most cells were not immunoreactive for Ki-67. These cells in 8-wk-old mice exhibited high colony-forming unit fibroblast activity and were capable of osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic differentiation in vitro. In addition, after transplantation of teeth of iGli1/Tomato mice into the hypodermis of wild-type mice, Tomato fluorescence indicating the progeny of Gli1+ cells was detected in the osteoblasts and osteocytes of the regenerated bone. These results demonstrate that Gli1+ cells in the PDL were MSCs and could contribute to the alveolar bone regeneration.

Abstract
Enteric viruses like norovirus, rotavirus and astrovirus have long been accepted as spreading in the population through fecal-oral transmission: viruses are shed into feces from one host and enter the oral cavity of another, bypassing salivary glands (SGs) and reaching the intestines to replicate, be shed in feces and repeat the transmission cycle1. Yet there are viruses (for example, rabies) that infect the SGs2,3, making the oral cavity one site of replication and saliva one conduit of transmission. Here we report that enteric viruses productively and persistently infect SGs, reaching titres comparable to those in the intestines. We demonstrate that enteric viruses get released into the saliva, identifying a second route of viral transmission. This is particularly significant for infected infants, whose saliva directly transmits enteric viruses to their mothers' mammary glands through backflow during suckling. This sidesteps the conventional gut-mammary axis route4 and leads to a rapid surge in maternal milk secretory IgA antibodies5,6. Lastly, we show that SG-derived spheroids7 and cell lines8 can replicate and propagate enteric viruses, generating a scalable and manageable system of production. Collectively, our research uncovers a new transmission route for enteric viruses with implications for therapeutics, diagnostics and importantly sanitation measures to prevent spread through saliva.

Abstract
BackgroundRecently, the disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was improved due to the ‘treat-to-target’ strategy. However, some patients remain various symptoms despite recommended treatment was performed. Then, the term of ‘difficult-to-treat RA (D2TRA)’ is widely recognized. Janus kinase inhibitor (JAKi) might be effective for D2TRA patients, because JAKi can simultaneously block the function of multiple cytokines.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate drug retention rate and effectiveness of JAKi in patients with D2TRA.MethodsThis study included 220 RA patients (tofacitinib 101, baricitinib 83, upadacitinib 20, peficitinib 14, filgotinib 2) treated with JAKi. Sixty-two patients were treated as first line bDMARDs/JAKi (1st group), 57 patients were treated as second line bDMARDs/ JAKi (2nd group), 101 patients were treated as third and more bDMARDs/ JAKi. In these 101 patients, 25 patients did not met D2TRA criteria (non-D2TRA group) and 76 patients met D2TRA criteria (D2TRA group). Drug retention rate and effectiveness of JAKi were evaluated during 24 weeks in each group.ResultsUsage rate of methotrexate was lower and dosage of glucocorticoid was higher in D2TRA group than in other groups (Table 1). Drug retention rate at 24 weeks was 87.1% (54/62) in 1st group, 80.1% (46/57) in 2nd group, 88% (22/25) in non-D2TRA group, 61.8% (47/76) in D2TRA group. Drug retention rate was lower in D2TRA group compared to 1st group, 2nd group and non-DT2RA group (p<0.01, p=0.03, p=0.01). DAS28-CRP was 4.4, 4.0, 3.9, 4.4 at baseline, 3.0, 3.0, 3.3, 3.5 at 4 weeks, 2.5, 2.9, 2.7, 3.3 at 12 weeks, 2.5, 3.0, 2.9, 3.2 at 24 weeks in 1st group, 2nd group, non-D2TRA group and D2TRA group, respectively. Improvement ratio of DAS28-CRP was 32.9, 27.6, 20.4, 19.3 % at 4 weeks, 40.8, 26.5, 28.1, 19.5 % at 12 weeks, 40.8, 24.6, 18.7, 24.7 % at 24 weeks. DAS28-CRP was improved in all groups. Altough 1st group showed higher improvement ratio of DAS28-CRP at 24 weeks compared to 2nd group, non-DT2RA group and D2TRA group (p<0.01, p<0.01, p<0.01), there was no differences between DT2RA group and 2nd group or non-D2TRA group (p=0.95, p=0.48). SDAI was 22.9, 19.9, 18.3, 23.9 at baseline, 11.8, 11.9, 13.3, 14.4 at 4 weeks, 7.9, 11.3, 8.4, 13.3 at 12 weeks, 8.5, 11.5, 9.7, 12.6 at 24 weeks. CDAI was 21.3, 18.8, 17.6, 21.8 at baseline, 11.3, 11.2, 12.5, 13.9 at 4 weeks, 7.5, 10.9, 8.0, 12.3 at 12 weeks, 8.1, 10.7, 8.6, 12.1 at 24 weeks. HAQ was 1.15, 0.99, 0.89, 1.39 at baseline, 0.84, 0.76, 0.93, 1.22 at 4 weeks, 0.79, 0.84, 0.77, 1.17 at 12 weeks, 0.76, 0.79, 0.76, 1.14 at 24 weeks.

Abstract
BackgroundThe treatment option including biological DMARDs (BIO) and JAK inhibitor (JAK) was expanded, and the number of patients reached to the treatment target are increasing in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). On the other hand, it is also true that some patients are still using prednisolone (PSL). Recently, ultrasound has played a role of sensitive imaging modality in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with RA. It is known that residual synovitis was found in ultrasound even in patients with clinical remission.ObjectivesWe investigated the differences of ultrasonographic intra-articular synovitis findings between treatment drugs in patients with RA.MethodsFrom January 2017 to August 2020, 750 RA patients who underwent ultrasound examination were included. A US examination was performed at the bilateral first to fifth metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, first interphalangeal (IP) and second to fifth proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints, wrist joints (three part of radial, medial and ulnar) and first to fifth metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints, by using HI VISION Ascendus (Hitachi Medical Corporation, Japan) with a multifrequency linear transducer (18-6 MHz). The gray scale and power Doppler findings were assessed by the semi-quantitative method (0-3). All patients were divided into with or without BIO / JAK, methotrexate (MTX) and PSL. Then, patients were matched using the propensity score adjusted for gender, age, RA disease duration, disease activity, CRP value, and MMP-3 value. The total gray scale and power Doppler score (GSUS / PDUS) were compared between treatment drugs of RA by using propensity score matching methods.ResultsThe average age of 750 RA patients were 64.5 years and an average disease duration of RA was 13.9 years and females were 581 (77.5%). There were 517 patients (68.9%) treated with BIO/JAK and 233 patients treated without BIO/JAK. The 205 patients in each group were matched. GSUS were 10.6±11.1 vs 9.2±10.4 (p=0.218) and PDUS 7.4±9.2 vs 6.5±9.0 (p=0.328). Ultrasound residual synovitis was not different between with or without BIO/JAK in matched patients. There were 525 patients (70.0%) treated MTX, the average MTX dose was 9.3 mg, and 225 patients treated without MTX. The 203 patients with or without MTX in each group were matched. GSUS were 9.7±10.6 vs 11.4±12.0 (p=0.119) and PDUS 6.6±8.8 vs 8.1±10.1 (p=0.117). Ultrasound residual synovitis was not different between with or without MTX in matched patients. There were 111 patients (14.8%) treated PSL, the average dose was 4.0mg, and 639 patients treated without PSL. The 105 patients with or without PSL in each group were matched. GSUS were 15.7±13.9 vs 11.6±10.6 (p=0.018) and PDUS 11.5±11.4 vs 8.1±9.6 (p=0.021). Ultrasound residual synovitis was more severe treated with PSL than without PSL in matched patients.ConclusionIn a comparison between RA patients matched backgrounds such as disease activity, there was no difference in ultrasound residual synovitis between patients with or without BIO/JAK and MTX. However, there was significant difference in patients with or without PSL. This suggests that PSL use suppresses clinical symptoms but does not improve synovitis. Thus, it should be noted that joint destruction may progress in patients treating with PSL.References[1]Grassi W, Okano T, Di Geso L, Filippucci E.

Abstract
BackgroundIn patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have residual synovitis even after using biological disease modified anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARDs), joint destruction may progress1,. The enhanced treatment such as shortening the dosing interval or dose escalation of bDMARDs are recommended for these patients, if allowed in package inserts 2, 3.ObjectivesWe investigated the effects of enhanced treatment in RA patients with residual synovitis under treatment with standard dose of bDMARDs.MethodsForty RA patients treated with standard dose of infliximab, tocilizumab or golimumab were included in this study. Ultrasound (US) examination was performed at the bilateral first to fifth metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, first interphalangeal (IP) and second to fifth proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints, wrist joints (three parts of radial, medial and ulnar) and first to fifth metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints, by using HI VISION Ascendus (Hitachi Medical Corporation, Japan) with a multifrequency linear transducer (18-6 MHz). Residual synovitis was defined as Power Doppler score (PD) ≥2. In patients with residual synovitis, we recommended enhanced treatment. The patients were divided into 3 groups, PD≥2/ET+ group (patients agreed enhanced treatment), PD≥2/ET- group (patients rejected enhanced treatment), and PD<2 group. We assessed ultrasound (PD score), laboratory data (CRP, MMP-3), disease activity (Simplified Disease Activity Index; SDAI), physical function (Health Assessment Questionnaire; HAQ), and joint destruction (modified Total Sharp Score; mTSS) at baseline and 1-year follow-up.ResultsThere were 9 patients in PD≥2/ET+ group and 31 patients in PD<2 group. PD≥2/ET+ group had significantly higher SDAI (p=0.027), MMP-3 (p=0.005), and PD (p<0.001) at baseline compared with PD<2 group, but their MMP-3 (p=0.019) and PD (p=0.042) were significantly decreased over 1 year. PD≥2/ET+ group had joint destruction before ET (p=0.022), but it was suppressed after ET and there was no significance in change in mTSS compared with PD<2 group (p>0.99) (Figure 1).Figure 1.Disease activity, ultrasound assessment and radiographic change from baseline (BL) to 1-year follow-up in RA patients with residual synovitis who had enhanced treatment (PD≥2/ET+) and those without active synovitis (PD<2).*Each parameter at BL and 1-year was statistically analyzed by Wilcoxin signed rank test only in PD≥2/ET+ group.**Difference in two groups at BL was statistically analyzed by Student t test or Mann-Whitney U test.SDAI: simplified disease activity index, HAQ: health assessment questionnaire, PD: Power Doppler, MMP-3: matrix metalloproteinase 3, mTSS: modified Total Sharp Score.ConclusionIn RA patients with the residual synovitis under treatment with standard dose of bDMARDs, enhanced treatment decreased the synovitis and suppressed the joint destruction.References[1]Nguyen H, Ruyssen-Witrand A, Gandjbakhch F, Constantin A, Foltz V, Cantagrel A.

Abstract
BackgroundPatients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have muscle weakness and stiff or painful joints might be at increased risk of falls and fractures.ObjectivesThe present study prospectively investigates correlations between decreasing doses of glucocorticoid (GC) and the incidence of clinical fractures in patients with RA based on the ten-year findings of the TOMORROW study (UMIN000003876) that started in 2010.MethodsWe evaluated anthropometric parameters, bone mineral density, disease activity, RA medication, and the incidence of clinical fractures over a period of ten years in 202 patients with RA (mean age, 58.6 years; mean disease duration, 14.0 years). We also investigated the effects of GC doses on the incidence of clinical fractures over the same period in patients with RA using multivariate regression analysis.ResultsThe incidence of clinical fractures for ten years in patients with RA was 0.036/person-year. There were 89 patients (44.1%) treated with GC at least once during ten years. The incidences of clinical fractures in patients with RA treated with and without GC during ten years were 0.052 and 0.026/person-year, respectively. After adjusting for fracture risk factors including age, sex, smoking, and body mass index, cox proportional hazard model revealed that GC dose of ≥ 2 mg/day at baseline was a significant risk factor for clinical fractures (Hazard ratio [HR]:2.430; 95%CI, 1.040-5.675, p=0.040). Although the risk for clinical fractures did not decrease by just reducing the dose of GC (HR:4.505; 95%CI, 0.589-34.457, p=0.147), it was significantly lower if the dose of GC could be reduced to zero during ten years (HR:0.407; 95%CI, 0.194-0.857, p=0.018).ConclusionMedication with even low dose of GC are apparently significantly associated with an increased frequency of clinical fractures among patients with RA. However, if the dose of GC was reduced to free during ten years, the clinical fracture risk could become lower. We concluded that we should decrease the dose of GC to free after controlling disease activity of RA.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
BackgroundRecently, the disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was improved due to the ‘treat-to-target’ strategy. However, some patients remain various symptoms despite recommended treatment was performed. Then, the term of ‘difficult-to-treat RA (D2TRA)’ is widely recognized. It is unknown how the difference of type of biological disease-modifying anti rheumatic dugs (bDMARDs)/Janus kinase inhibitor (JAKi) will affect clinical efficacy in patients with D2TRA. Moreover, the risk factor to inhibit the clinical response in patients with D2TRA is unknown.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment response in patients with D2TRA who were treated with interleukin 6 receptor inhibitor (IL-6Ri), abatacept and JAKi.MethodsThis study used the multicenter database included 673 RA patients treated with bDMARDs/JAKi (tocilizumab 240, sarilumab 67, abatacept 146, tofacitinib 101, baricitinib 83, upadacitinib 20, peficitinib 14, filgotinib 2). Two hundred forty-two patients were treated as first line bDMARDs/JAKi (IL-6Ri 117, abatacept 63, JAKi 62), 211 patients were treated as second line bDMARDs/JAKi (IL-6Ri 117, abatacept 37, JAKi 57), 220 patients were treated as third and more bDMARDs/JAKi. In these 220 patients, 82 patients did not meet D2TRA criteria (IL-6Ri 42, abatacept 15, JAKi 25) and 138 patients met D2TRA criteria (IL-6Ri 31, abatacept 31, JAKi 76). In all patients, we analyzed 138 patients with D2TRA (113 female, mean age was 63.1 ± 13.7 years). Drug retention rate and effectiveness of bDMARDs/JAKi in patients with D2TRA were evaluated for 24 weeks. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to clarify the risk factors to inhibit the clinical response.ResultsDrug retention rate of patients with D2TRA at 24 weeks was 67.7% in IL-6Ri group, 74.2% in abatacept group, 61.8% in JAKi group. Drug retention rate in patients with D2TRA was not different between groups (IL-6Ri vs abatacept: p=0.86, IL-6Ri vs JAKi group: p=0.39, abatacept vs JAKi group: p=0.33). DAS28-CRP at 4, 12, 24 weeks decreased in all group (Figure 1). Abatacept showed lower improvement ratio of DAS28-CRP at 24 weeks compared to IL-6Ri group (IL-6Ri vs abatacept: p<0.01, IL-6Ri vs JAKi: p=0.1, abatacept vs JAKi: p=0.07). Good responder (defined as decrease in DAS28-CRP score > 1.2 with a score < 3.2) was 52.4% patients in IL-6Ri, 17.4% patients in abatacept, 29.8% patients in JAKi. SDAI and CDAI at 4, 12, 24 weeks decreased in all group (Figure 1). There were no diferences between the groups in improvement ratio of SDAI (IL-6Ri vs abatacept: p=0.11, IL-6Ri vs JAKi: p=0.81, abatacept vs JAKi: p=0.08) and CDAI (IL-6Ri vs abatacept: p=0.31, IL-6Ri vs JAKi: p=0.82, abatacept vs JAKi: p=0.13) at 24 weeks. HAQ was 1.42, 1.15, 1.39 at baseline, 1.27, 1.07, 1.22 at 4 weeks, 1.17, 1.07, 1.17 at 12 weeks, 1.26, 1.06, 1.14 at 24 weeks in IL-6Ri group, abatacept and JAKi, respectively. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that high HAQ (β=0.28, p=0.02) and high dosage of glucocorticoid (β=0.67, p<0.01) inhibited the improvement of DAS28-CRP. Type of bDMARDs/JAKi (β=-0.09, p=0.36) did not affect the DAS28-CRP improvement for 24 weeks.Table 1.Multivariate linear regression analysis of risk factor to inhibit the clinical response in patients with D2TRA.β95% CIpAge (years)-0.037-0.025, 0.0170.74male-0.047-0.788, 0.4860.64Disease durations (years)-0.048-0.028, 0.0170.63RF (IU/ml)-0.082-0.0004, 0.00020.41Anti CCP antibody (U/ml)0.111-0.0005, 0.0020.26DAS28-CRP-0.063-0.265, 0.1420.55HAQ0.2790.059, 0.7170.02MTX (mg/day)0.136-0.018, 0.0810.21Glucocorticoid dose (mg/day)0.6690.174, 0.324< 0.01Type of bDMARDs/JAKi-0.088-0.415, 0.1510.36ConclusionDrug retention rate and clinical efficacy of D2TRA patients were not different among IL-6Ri, abatacept and JAKi.

Abstract
BackgroundTo investigate if FRAX in patients with RA can predict the incidence of new clinical fractures for 10 years by using the 10-year data of the TOMORROW study (UMIN000003876) which is a prospective cohort study.ObjectivesTo investigate if FRAX in patients with RA can predict the incidence of new clinical fractures for 10 years by using the 10-year data of the TOMORROW study (UMIN000003876) which is a prospective cohort study.MethodsWe calculated ten-year probability of major osteoporotic fracture (FRAX) in 208 RA patients and 205 sex- and age-matched volunteers (Vo), and compared FRAX with the incidence of clinical fractures for 10 years.ResultsThe mean FRAX were 14.5 and 8.8% in 175 RA patients and 168 Vo, respectively, in whom we could calculate FRAX at baseline and complete to investigate the incidence of clinical fractures for 10 years from baseline. The mean FRAX in RA patients was significantly higher than that in Vo (P<0.001). The actual incidence of clinical fractures for 10 years in RA patients was significantly higher than that in Vo (33.9 vs 22.9%, P=0.031). In both groups, the actual incidence of clinical fractures was higher than FRAX prediction. Logistic regression analysis revealed that FRAX and FRAX≧15% were the significant risk factors for clinical fractures for 10 years in both groups (Odds ratio (OR), 1.055, P<0.001, 2.943, P=0.043, respectively). The mean FRAX in RA patients with and without clinical fractures for 10 years were 18.5 and 12.5%, respectively (P=0.002). In RA patients, FRAX was also the significant risk factor for clinical fractures (OR, 1.046, P=0.004).ConclusionFRAX and the incidence of clinical fractures for 10 years were significantly higher in RA patients than them of Vo. We confirmed that FRAX was the risk factor for clinical fractures in actual clinical practice.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
BackgroundClinical feature of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor is recognized as not only suppress inflammation but also improve patient-reported outcomes (PRO) such as pain and health assessment questioner (HAQ) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This representative clinical feature was known as a results of phase 3 trial compared to TNF inhibitor. One of the mechanisms of JAK in RA is to suppresses interleikin-6 (IL-6). However, the effect for PRO in JAK inhibitor compared to IL-6 inhibitor have not been known.ObjectivesWe investigated the effect for patient-reported outcomes such as pain and HAQ in patients with RA treated with JAK inhibitor compared to IL-6 inhibitor.MethodsThis study was analysed a multicenter database included RA patients treated with biological disease-modifying anti rheumatic dugs (bDMARDs) and JAK inhibitors. In 307 patients treated with IL-6 inhibitor (tocilizumab 240 and sarilumab 67) and 220 patients with JAK inhibitor (tofacitinib 101, baricitinib 83, upadacitinib 20, peficitinib 14 and filgotinib 2), 155 patients were treated as first-line bDMARDs/JAK inhibitor (IL-6R inhibitor 104 and JAK inhibitor 51). In this first-line patients, patients treated with IL-6R inhibitor and JAK inhibitor were matched using the propensity score adjusted for gender, age, RA disease duration, baseline charactristics of disease activity, CRP level, and MMP-3 level. The beaseline data and the change of clinical and laboratory data at 4, 12 and 24 weeks were compared between IL-6 inhibitor and JAK inhibitor.ResultsThirty-six patients in each group were matched and analyzed. The average age was 62.4 and 62.6 years and the average disease duration of RA was 13.2 and 10.1 years in IL-6 inhibitor and JAK inhibitor. The baseline characteristics were not significantly different in both groups. At week 4, tender joint count (TJC) was significantly improved in JAK inhibitor than IL-6 (IL-6: -1.86 vs JAK: -4.12, p= 0.036) and HAQ was significantly improved in JAK inhibitor than IL-6 (IL-6: -0.04 vs JAK: -0.27, p= 0.041). Moreover, Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) was also improved in JAK inhibitor than IL-6 (IL-6: -6.6 vs JAK: -10.9, p= 0.026) at week 4. However, pain VAS and patient global VAS were not significantly different in each group in week4. TJC, HAQ and CDAI was not different in both groups at week 12 and week 24. On the other hand, ESR was significantly decreased in IL-6 inhibitor than JAK inhibitor at week 4, 12 and 24 (IL-6: -26.6 vs JAK: -14.1, p=0.018 at week 4, IL-6: -32.7 vs JAK: -16.5 p=0.004 at week 12, IL-6: -31.3vs JAK: -17.7 p=0.014 at week 24).ConclusionIn a comparison between IL-6 inhibitor and JAK inhibitor as a first-line molecular-targeted drug matched baseline charactristics of disease activity, TJC and HAQ was improved in JAK inhibitor earlier than IL-6 inhibitors. JAK inhibitor suppress multi cytokine that might be the reason why JAK inhibitor improve pain. Improvement of patient reported outcome in JAK inhibitor was found also in comparison with IL-6 inhibitor.References[1]Taylor PC, Keystone EC, van der Heijde D, et al.

Abstract
BackgroundPatients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are likely to have sarcopenia due to decreased muscle mass and physical function. Some patients develop sarcopenia even if disease activity is well-controlled. We previously reported that 13.2% of RA patients without sarcopenia at baseline developed sarcopenia over a year1.ObjectivesThe aim was to longitudinally investigate sarcopenia status and the characteristics of RA patients using data from the prospective, observational CHIKARA study.MethodsBody composition, laboratory data, disease activity, physical function (HAQ), treatment, and history of falls and fractures were investigated in 100 RA patients who participated in the CHIKARA study at baseline and at 5 years. They were divided into 4 groups depending on their sarcopenia status: no sarcopenia developed (N group; sarcopenia absent at baseline and 5 years); sarcopenia developed (S group; sarcopenia absent at baseline, but present at 5 years); cured (C group; sarcopenia present at baseline, but absent at 5 years); and persistent (P group; sarcopenia present at baseline and at 5 years).ResultsSeventy RA patients completed the survey. There were no differences among the 4 groups in disease activity, physical function, and treatment. The N group, accounting for 67.1% of all patients, was young and had high body mass index, muscle mass, fat mass, estimated bone mass, and body metabolic rate at baseline. On the other hand, the S group, accounting for 4.3% of all patients, fell significantly more frequently (p=0.035), 3.3 times during 5 years. The P group, accounting for 18.6% of all patients, had significantly higher MMP-3 at baseline (p=0.006). The C group accounted for 10.0% of all patients (Table 1).Table 1.Characteristics of 77 RA patients by sarcopenia status at baseline and at 5-year follow-upno development (n=47)development (n=3)cured (n=7)persisted (n=13)p valueage, years63 (57.5, 70)76 (74.5, 81)66 (54, 70)73 (65, 82)0.006disease duration, years6.5 (1.1, 10.7)15.2 (14.9, 20.7)11.4 (7.2, 14.8)3.5 (1.1, 6.5)0.021MTX dose, mg/day8.1 ± 3.76.0 ± 2.07.4 ± 3.86.2 ± 4.80.406biologics use, %36.266.728.623.10.513GC use, %23.4028.615.40.701average GC dose, mg/day3.5 ± 1.103.7 ± 1.86.3 ± 1.80.833CRP, mg/dl0.1 (0.04, 0.18)0.04 (0.04, 0.23)0.2 (0.12, 0.47)0.19 (0.08,0.82)0.22MMP-3, ng/ml62.2 (50.3, 98.6)58.9 (47.8, 71.3)74.9 (58.3,147.2)160 (90.8,262)0.006DAS28ESR3.34 ± 0.914.11 ± 0.723.36 ± 1.383.79 ± 1.200.355mHAQ0.25 (0, 0.5)0.63 (0.56, 1.25)0.87 (0.25, 1.0)0.25 (0.13, 0.75)0.132BMI, kg/m223.22 ± 3.5121.4 ± 2.2518.69 ± 2.0819.56 ± 2.39<0.001SMI, kg/m26.73 ± 0.76.1 ± 0.25.51 ± 0.145.79 ± 0.6<0.001fat percentage, %30.39 ± 8.7730.03 ± 9.1225.04 ± 6.2323.75 ± 6.560.051estimated bone mass, kg2.2 (2, 2.4)1.9 (1.75, 1.95)1.6 (1.55, 1.9)1.9 (1.7, 2.2)0.001BMR, kcal1101 (1051, 1198)986 (934, 1010)896 (872, 994)978 (902,1107)<0.001ΔDAS28ESR-0.15 ± 0.84-0.43 ± 1.730.04 ± 0.89-0.59 ± 1.330.445ΔSMI, kg/m2-0.06 ± 0.34-0.38 ± 0.570.25 ± 0.220.08 ± 0.420.038fall, times1.63.331.290.380.045Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median (25th, 75th percentile).GC: glucocorticoids, MMP-3: matrix metalloproteinase 3, DAS: disease activity score, HAQ: health assessment questionnaire, BMI: body mass index, SMI: skeletal muscle mass index, BMR: body metabolization rate, Δ:change during 5 years.ConclusionOverall, 4.3% of RA patients developed sarcopenia and fell frequently during 5-year follow-up.

Abstract
BackgroundRomosozumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds sclerostin, increases bone formation and decreases bone resorption. Romosozumab has an excellent therapeutic effect on patients with osteoporosis. However, there are few reports investigated the efficacy and the effect of various factors relative to osteoporosis in real-world.ObjectivesWe evaluated bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism marker (BMM) change in osteoporosis patients treated with romosozumab, and assessed the effect of various factors, such as preosteoporosis treatment, history of fragility fracture and combination of vitamin D.MethodsThis study included 141 osteoporosis patients (132 female, mean age: 78.8 ± 7.5 years, mean hight: 151.1 ± 7.5 cm, mean weight: 50.9 ± 8.9 kg) treated with romosozumab. BMD measurements using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and BMM measurements using N-terminal propeptide of type 1 collagen (P1NP) were evaluated at 0, 4, 6, and 12 months after treatment. DXA were performed at the lumbar spine (n=92), at proximal femoral and femoral neck (n=92), and at distal third radius (n=49). We evaluated the influence of preosteoporosis treatment, history of fragility fracture and combination of vitamin D for BMD change.ResultsBMD at lumbar spine (5.2%: p<0.01, 9.2%: p<0.01, 10.8%: p<0.01), proximal femoral (1.3%: p=0.02, 2.8%: p<0.01, 4.5%: p<0.01) and femoral neck (2.0%: p=0.03, 2.7%: p=0.06, 5.0%: p=0.01) were significantly increased at 4, 8, 12 months after treatment. BMD at distal third radius (-1.5%: p<0.01, -0.8%: p=0.17, -1.0%: p=0.13) were not increased at 4, 8, 12 months after treatment. P1NP chane were 63% (p<0.01), 6.4% (p=0.55), -2.3% (p=0.2) at 4, 8, 12 months after treatment. There were no significant differences in 1 year improvement ratio of BMD at lumbar spine, proximal femoral and femoral neck between 38 patients with pretreatment of osteoporosis and 54 patients without pretreatment of osteoporpsis (13.5 vs 9.5%: p=0.1, 4.9 vs 4.4%: p=0.7, 6.1 vs 4.6%: p=0.67), between 33 patients with a history of fragility fracture and 59 patients without a history of fragility fracture (7.3 vs 11.7%: p=0.42, 0.8 vs 5.5%: p=0.08, -0.7 vs 6.6%: p=0.14), between 50 patients with romosozumab alone and 42 patients with romosozumab plus vitamin D (11.3 vs 10.0%: p=0.93, 4.1 vs 5.3%: p=0.59, 6.8 vs 2.3%: p=0.47). There were no significant differences in 1 year improvement ratio of BMD at distal third radius between 33 patients with pretreatment of osteoporosis and 16 patients without pretreatment of osteoporpsis (-1.1 vs -0.9%: p=0.63), between 31 patients with a history of fragility fracture and 18 patients without a history of fragility fracture (-1.5 vs -0.5%: p=0.3).ConclusionRomosozumab improved BMD at lumbar and femoral independently regardless of preosteoporosis treatment, history of fragility fracture and combination of vitamin D.References[1]Felicia Cosman et al.

Abstract
BackgroundPatients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have sarcopenia and stiff or painful joints might be at increased risk of falls and fractures.ObjectivesThe present study aimed to prospectively identify the incidence of clinical fractures and associated risk factors in patients with RA in a cohort study named the TOMORROW (UMIN000003876) that started in 2010.MethodsWe evaluated anthropometric parameters, bone mineral density (BMD), disease activity, RA medication at entry and observed the incidence of clinical fractures during ten years in 202 patients with RA (mean age, 58.6 y; medication with biological agents, 54.9%) and 202 age- and sex-matched non-RA volunteers (Vo) (mean age, 57.4 y). We compared the incidence of clinical fractures between patients with RA and Vo for ten years, and analyzed the risk factors for clinical fractures using Cox proportional hazard model.ResultsThe incidences of clinical fractures were 0.036 and 0.024/person-year in patients with RA and Vo, respectively. Cox proportional hazard model revealed that low BMD at the thoracic vertebrae (< 0.7 g/cm2) and history of fractures at entry were significantly associated with the incidence of clinical fractures (Hazard ratio [HR]1.737, p=0.020 and HR1.514, p=0.047, respectively) in all participants. RA morbidity, however, was not (HR1.398, p=0.112). In patients with RA, medication with GC at entry was a significant risk factor for clinical fractures (HR1.898, p=0.017). Additionally, a mean GC dose (≥ 2 mg/day) at entry and during the ten-year period increased risk for fractures (HR 2.189, p=0.004, 1.866, p=0.022, respectively).ConclusionRA per se was not a risk factor for clinical fractures in this cohort. Low BMD at the thoracic vertebrae at entry and the use of GC with even low dose at entry and during ten years were significantly associated with an increased frequency of clinical fractures among patients with RA.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
Background: In some patients with rotator cuff tear (RCT), the axial view of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows subtle posterior decentering (PD) of the humeral head from the glenoid fossa. This is considered to result from a loss of centralization that is typically produced by rotator cuff function. There are few reports on PD in RCT despite the common occurrence of posterior subluxation in degenerative joint disease. In this study, we investigated the effect of PD in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of consecutive patients who underwent ARCR at our institute and were followed-up for at least 1 year. PD was identified as a 2 mm posterior shift of the humeral head relative to the glenoid fossa in the axial MRI view preoperatively. The tear size and fatty degeneration (FD, Goutallier classification) were also evaluated using preoperative MRI. Retears were evaluated through MRI at 1 year postoperatively. Results: We included 135 shoulders in this study. Ten instances of PD (including seven retears) were observed preoperatively. Fifteen retears (three and 12 retears in the small/medium and large/massive tear groups, respectively) were observed postoperatively. PD was significantly correlated with tear size, FD, and retear occurrence (p<0.01 each). The odds ratio for PD in retears was 33.8, which was greater than that for tear size ≥3 cm and FD grade ≥3. Conclusions: We concluded that large tear size and FD contribute to the occurrence of PD. Furthermore, PD could be a predictor of retear after ARCR.

Abstract
Background Local anesthetics often are used in rotator cuff tears as therapeutic tools, although some cases have reported that they have detrimental effects. Neurotropin (NTP) is used widely in Japan as a treatment for various chronic pain conditions and is shown to have protective effects on cartilage and nerve cells. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of NTP against lidocaine-induced cytotoxicity. Methods Tenocytes from rotator cuff tendons were incubated with lidocaine, NTP, lidocaine with NTP, and a control medium. Cell viability was evaluated using the WST-8 assay. Cell apoptosis was detected via annexin V staining using flow cytometry. The expression of BCL-2 and cytochrome c, which are involved in the intrinsic mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis, was evaluated via Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining. Results In the cell viability assay, lidocaine decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, and NTP did not affect cell viability. Moreover, NTP significantly inhibited the cytotoxic effect of lidocaine. The flow cytometry analysis showed that lidocaine significantly induced apoptosis in tenocytes, and NTP considerably inhibited this lidocaine-induced apoptosis. Western blotting experiments showed that lidocaine decreased the protein expression of BCL-2, and that NTP conserved the expression of BCL-2, even when used with lidocaine. Immunohistochemical staining for cytochrome c showed that 0.1% lidocaine increased cytochrome c-positive cells, and NTP suppressed lidocaine-induced cytochrome c expression. Conclusions NTP suppresses lidocaine-induced apoptosis of tenocytes by inhibiting the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Intra-articular/ bursal injection of NTP with lidocaine could protect tenocytes in rotator cuff tendons against lidocaine-induced apoptosis.

Abstract
Resistance to lenvatinib mesylate (LEN), a systemic chemotherapy that can be administered orally, has been a major issue for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Although HCC is the tumor that most exhibits intratumoral hypoxia, which has been shown to be involved in the development of treatment resistance, there are no reports of LEN resistance in HCC treatment under hypoxia. The purpose of our study was to elucidate the mechanism of treatment resistance to LEN under hypoxia using HCC cell lines. We confirmed LEN resistance under hypoxic conditions in HCC cell lines. There was a significant increase in the IC50 value of PLC/PRF/5 cells from 13.0±0.8 μM in normoxia to 21.3±1.1 μM in hypoxia, but in HepG2 cells, the increase was not significant. To elucidate the LEN resistance mechanism of PLC/PRF/5 cells under hypoxia, we performed microarray analysis and extracted genes that are thought to be related to this mechanism. Furthermore, in-silico analysis confirmed significant changes in the extracellular matrix, and among them, FN1 encoding fibronectin was determined as the hub of the gene cluster. The expression of fibronectin in PLC/PRF/5 cells examined with immunofluorescence staining was significantly elevated in and outside of cells under hypoxia, and tended to decrease when cells were exposed to LEN under normoxia. Furthermore, the fibronectin concentration in the culture solution of PLC/PRF/5 cells examined by ELISA was 2.3 times higher under hypoxia than under normoxia under LEN(-) conditions, and 1.6 times higher under hypoxia than under normoxia under LEN(+) conditions. It is assumed that in PLC/PRF/5 cells, fibronectin is probably suppressed as an indirect effect of LEN under normoxia, but transcription factors such as HIF-1α are induced under hypoxia, thus enhancing the production of fibronectin and attenuating the effect of LEN, resulting in drug resistance. This behavior of fibronectin with LEN exposure under hypoxia is probably specific to PLC/PRF/5 cells. Further studies should verify the combined effective inhibition of fibronectin and the MAPK pathway as a promising therapeutic strategy to enhance the value of LEN in HCC treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current advances in arthroscopic surgery have led to good outcomes for arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. However, recent studies have reported recurrence rates of 4%-19% after ABR. In our survey conducted from February 2002 to December 2010, the post-ABR re-dislocation rate was 8.8%. In 2011, we began performing the ABR with open Bristow (B) procedure or Remplissage (R) procedure in patients with large glenoid or humeral head bone defects and in patients who play collision sports. Therefore, the present study is the second series evaluating the incidence of re-dislocation and instability after recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation. METHOD Surgery was performed for 84 cases of shoulder instability from January 2011 to August 2017. After excluding 7 open surgeries, 6 reoperations, and 2 patients with multidirectional instability, telephone interviews were conducted with 69 patients. The average follow-up duration was 46.9 months (range, 13-92 months). RESULT ABR alone was performed 61 patients; the B procedure was added for 3 patients, and the R procedure was added for 5 patients. Telephone interviews were conducted with 61 patients. There were no cases of re-dislocation or reoperation. Four patients who underwent only ABR experienced postoperative instability, but not to the extent that their daily lives were affected. CONCLUSION This study showed that the addition of R or B technique to ABR for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation resulted in a 0% re-dislocation rate.

Abstract
Background: Most studies have shown acceptable clinical results in patients with large or massive tears treated by arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR); however, the effects of retears after surgery in these patients remain unknown. Purpose: To evaluate functional and structural outcomes after retears of large and massive rotator cuff tears treated by ARCR. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A total of 196 consecutive patients with large to massive rotator cuff tears underwent physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging before and after ARCR at 6, 12, and 24 months. Of these, 9 patients were lost at 6 months after surgery. Therefore, 187 patients were followed up for 24 months after surgery; 148 patients showed no postsurgical ruptures. Consequently, the remaining 39 patients with postsurgical ruptures were included in this study (mean age at surgery, 64.2 ± 8.7 years). Functional outcome measures comprised the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores. Structural outcome measures consisted of the global fatty degeneration index (GFDI), mediolateral tear size, and residual tendon attachment area as evaluated by our own scoring system. Results: The mean UCLA and JOA scores significantly improved from 16.3 ± 3.9 and 63.2 ± 10.7 preoperatively to 27.9 ± 5.5 (P < .0001) and 84.5 ± 9.4 (P < .0001) at final follow-up, respectively. The mean mediolateral tear size (P = .03, .02, and .02, respectively) and residual tendon attachment area (P = .04, .03, and .04, respectively) significantly improved from preoperatively to 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. The correlation analysis between the functional and structural variables confirmed significant associations between the residual tendon attachment area, the JOA and UCLA scores at 24 months postoperatively, and the preoperative GFDI (r = –0.81 to 0.78). Conclusion: The residual tendon attachment area after a retear was significantly larger at 24 months after surgery than before surgery. In addition, significant associations were confirmed between preoperative fatty degeneration, the residual tendon attachment area, and functional outcomes after a retear. These results may explain why functional outcomes significantly improved even after retears in this series.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effectiveness of treatment with Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) assessed by ultrasonography (US) activity, and the influence of patient characteristics and previous treatments. METHOD This prospective study assessed 60 treatment initiations among 53 Japanese patients diagnosed with RA who underwent treatment with JAK inhibitors during June 2013 to February 2020. Of the 53 patients, seven patients were enrolled in duplicate because they were treated with two different JAK inhibitors at different periods. For each case, the improvement rate on the power Doppler (PD) score was assessed at 6 month follow-up. Median improvement rate of PD score was used to classify cases as either US responders or non-responders, and patient characteristics were compared between the two groups. RESULTS All indicators of clinical disease activity and US activity showed a significant improvement at 3 months compared with baseline. Although the JAK inhibitor-cycler group and the interleukin-6 (IL-6) inhibitor inadequate response (IR) group tended to show a later improvement for US activity, all indicators of clinical disease activity and US activity showed a significant improvement at 6 months compared with baseline for both groups. Multivariate analysis showed that concomitant methotrexate use and an IR to the previous biologic or targeted-synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (b/tsDMARD) treatment were independently and significantly associated with US responders. CONCLUSION Use of a JAK inhibitor in combination with methotrexate and an absence of IR to any previous b/tsDMARDs demonstrated superior effectiveness for patients with RA.

Abstract
Background:We previously reported that ultrasound assessment of enthesitis (US enthesitis) is not consistent with tenderness of the enthesis (clinical enthesitis) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Although US enthesitis reflects inflammatory condition and clinical enthesitis is associated with disease activity and physical function, each of them was not associated with joint destruction by cross-sectional analysis1. It is reported that the utility of US for predicting joint destruction remains unclear among patients with PsA2.Objectives:This study is aimed to longitudinally investigate the relationships between enthesitis or synovitis and joint damage progression in patients with PsA.Methods:Forty-seven patients with PsA (average age of 56.5 years) underwent US and clinical examination of wrist and finger joints and 14 entheses (the bilateral humeral medial epicondyles and insertions of the triceps, distal quadriceps, proximal/distal patella, Achilles tendons, and plantar fascia). Tender or swollen joint count (TJC/SJC), Gray Scale (GS) and Power Doppler (PD) score of the joints, and US/clinical enthesitis counts were calculated. The relationships between the yearly progression in modified total sharp score (ΔmTSS) at two-time points (baseline and average follow-up of 20.4 months) and US or clinical findings were investigated.Results:ΔmTSS was significantly correlated with age (r=0.44, p=0.01), joint GS score (r=0.44, p=0.01), and joint PD score (r=0.38, p=0.03). TJC, SJC, inflammatory marker, and disease activity showed no associations with ΔmTSS. US/clinical enthesitis counts also showed no associations with ΔmTSS (Table 1). The joint PD score, adjusted by age, was significant factor for ΔmTSS by multiple regression analysis (b=0.50, p<0.001).Conclusion:The joint PD score or US synovitis, unlike clinical joint assessment, was significant predictive factor for joint damage progression.

Abstract
Background:Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) tend to have sarcopenia due to decreased muscle mass and function. We previously reported that 13.2% of RA patients without sarcopenia at baseline developed sarcopenia over a year using data from the prospective, observational CHIKARA study1.Objectives:The aim was to investigate sarcopenia status and the characteristics of RA patients longitudinally.Methods:Body composition, laboratory data, disease activity, physical function, treatment, and history of falls and fractures were investigated in 100 RA patients who participated in the CHIKARA study at baseline and at 4 years. The patients were divided into 4 groups depending on their sarcopenia status: no sarcopenia development (N group), sarcopenia development (S group), cured (C group), and persisted (P group).Results:Of the 77 RA patients who completed the survey, 48 were in the N group; their body mass index, skeletal muscle mass index, fat percentage, estimated bone mass, and body metabolization rate at baseline were significantly elevated. On the other hand, 6 patients were in the S group; 83.3% of them experienced fractures during the 4 years, significantly more than in the other groups. Ten patients were in the P group, and their baseline MMP-3 was significantly higher than in the other groups. Thirteen patients were in the C group. There were no differences among the 4 groups in disease activity and physical function (Table 1).Table 1.Characteristics of 77 RA patients by sarcopenia status at baseline and at 4-year follow-up.no development(n=48)development(n=6)cured(n=10)persisted(n=13)p valueBaseline age, years64.5 (57.8, 72)70.0 (65.5, 72.3)61.0 (54.5, 68.3)72 (68, 81)0.062 disease duration, years4.6 (1.1, 9.9)11.7 (2.8, 18.9)8.1 (4.2, 14.3)4.0 (2.2, 7.7)0.427 biologics use, %37.516.730.023.10.617 GC use, %27.116.710.023.10.678 MMP-3, ng/ml66.8 (51.8, 103)52.5 (40.0, 56.7)82.8 (57.8, 186)157.5 (90.8, 250)0.001 DAS28ESR3.43 ± 0.873.48 ± 1.323.36 ± 1.083.80 ± 1.270.661 mHAQ0.31 (0, 0.50)0.19 (0.03, 0.44)0.38 (0, 0.84)0.50 (0.25, 0.88)0.383 BMI, kg/m223.4 ± 3.621.6 ± 2.419.2 ± 1.619.5 ± 2.6<0.001 SMI, kg/m26.8 ± 0.86.2 ± 0.65.8 ± 0.55.7 ± 0.6<0.001 fat percentage, %30.4 ± 8.429.1 ± 9.123.9 ± 4.025.1 ± 8.30.046 estimated bone mass, kg2.2 (2.0, 2.4)1.9 (1.8, 2.1)2.0 (1.7, 2.1)1.7 (1.7, 1.9)0.012 BMR, kcal1100 (1031, 1197)1029 (918, 1070)1012 (917, 1057)934 (894, 1006)0.005Change during 4 years ΔDAS28ESR-0.34 ± 0.97-0.52 ± 0.98-0.60 ± 1.46-0.56 ± 1.140.834 ΔmHAQ0 (-0.25, 0.16)0.19 (0, 0.56)-0.06 (-0.44, 0.94)0 (-0.38, 0.38)0.357 ΔSMI, kg/m20.0 ± 0.3-0.6 ± 0.30.3 ± 0.4-0.0 ± 0.3<0.001 fall, %43.883.330.023.10.079 fracture, %14.683.320.023.10.002Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median (25th, 75th percentile).GC: glucocorticoids, BMI: body mass index, SMI: skeletal muscle mass index, BMR: body metabolization rate.Conclusion:Overall, 7.8% of RA patients developed sarcopenia during the 4-year follow-up period, and they developed fractures more frequently.

Abstract
Background:Previous cohort studies showed that the use of prednisolone (PSL) was a risk factor for clinical fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, there are few reports on relationship between PSL dose and clinical fractures.Objectives:The present study aimed to determine the effect of PSL dose on the incidence of clinical fractures in the RA patients treated with PSL.Methods:We evaluated anthropoetric parameters, bone mineral density (BMD), disease activity score 28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR), RA medication (methotrexate (MTX) dose, use of biologic disease modified anti-rheumatic-drugs (bDMARDs), and PSL dose) and the incidence of clinical fractures during nine years in RA patients who participant the TOMORROW study (UMIN000003876), which is a 10-years prospective cohort study. Data on clinical fracture was self-reported on the questionnaires. In this analysis, the data of RA patients treated with PSL at least once during nine-year period were evaluated. We analyzed the average dose of PSL until the incidence of the clinical fractures. The risk factor for clinical fractures were analyzed by using Cox proportional hazard model with adjustment for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and smoking history.Results:We analyzed the data of 67 RA patients treated with PSL. Among them, median age was 61.8 year, 56 patients (83.6%) were female, 47 patients (70.1%) were never smoker and median disease duration was 12.1 year. The number of patients treated with PSL at baseline was 48 (69.1%). During 9 years, 23 clinical fractures were observed in 67 patients, and the incidence of clinical fracture was 0.046/person-year. In 19 patients, who were not treated with PSL at baseline but treated with PSL at least once during 9 years, 5 clinical fractures were observed. In 67 RA patients, Cox proportional hazard analysis revealed that baseline disease activities, BMD at thoracic vertebrae and medication were not significant risk factors for clinical fractures. However, average PSL dose of more than only 1 mg/day was a significant risk factor for the incidence of clinical fracture (hazard ratio (HR): 2.80; p=0.03) (Table 1).Table 1.Adjusted hazard ratio for clinical fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with PSL.* Adjusted Hazard ratio95% Confidence intervalP valueCRP (mg/dL)1.290.88-1.910.19RF (IU/mL)0.990.99-1.000.07ACPA (U/mL)0.990.98-1.000.18DAS28-ESR0.990.71-1.390.97BMD at thoracic vertebrae (mg/cm2)0.020.00-1.000.05bDMARDs use0.550.23-1.320.18Bisphosphonate use2.330.95-5.710.07average dose of MTX (mg/week)1.020.92-1.120.74average score of DAS28-ESR1.150.76-1.750.52average dose of PSL more than 1mg/day2.81.09-7.240.03*Hazard ratio was adjusted for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and smoking history.

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients have a high frequency of sarcopenia, and they commonly have reduced physical function. We previously reported that the prevalence of sarcopenia was 28%, that of frailty was 18.9%, and that of pre-frailty was 38.9% in RA patients1,2, and 13.2% of RA patients developed sarcopenia within a year 3.Objectives:To investigate the risk factors for new onset of sarcopenia, locomotive syndrome, and frailty in patients with RA and the course of each disease.Methods:Two-year follow-up data from the rural group of the prospective, observational CHIKARA study were used. Sarcopenia was diagnosed using the criteria of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2014, locomotive syndrome was diagnosed using locomotive 5, and frailty was diagnosed using the basic checklist. New onset of the disease over the 2-year follow-up period was studied, excluding cases that had the disease at baseline. Improvement was defined as cases with disease at baseline that no longer met the diagnostic criteria after 2 years. Differences in the characteristics of each disease were tested using the Chi-squared test and the paired t-test.Results:The 81 patients with RA (82.7% female) had mean age 66.9±11.5 years, mean DAS28-ESR 2.9±1.2, methotrexate use in 81.5% (with a dose of 9.9±2.7 mg/week), and glucocorticoid (GC) use in 22.2% (with a dose of 3.1±1.7 mg/week). The baseline prevalence was 44.4% for sarcopenia, 35.8% for locomotive syndrome, and 25.9% for frailty, and the new onset rate was 4.4% for sarcopenia, 15.4% for locomotive syndrome, and 13.3% for frailty. Of the patients with each disease at baseline, 36.1% had sarcopenia, 20.7% had locomotive syndrome, and 33.3% had frailty, and of those with each disease at 2 years, 36.1% had sarcopenia, 20.7% had locomotive syndrome, and 33.3% had frailty. The new onset sarcopenia and locomotive syndrome groups had significantly higher rates of GC use (p=0.036, p=0.007, paired t-test) and significantly higher doses (p=0.01, p=0.001, paired t-test) than the groups without new onset sarcopenia and locomotive syndrome. High baseline disease activity was an independent predictor of new onset of locomotive syndrome on multivariate logistic regression analysis (OR=3.21, p=0.015).Conclusion:The new onset rates at 2 years were 4.4% for sarcopenia, 15.4% for locomotive syndrome, and 13.3% for frailty. In the new onset sarcopenia and locomotive syndrome groups, both GC use and dosage were significantly higher.References:[1]Tada M, et al.

Abstract
Background:In rheumatoid arthritis (RA), biologics treatment is one of the effective treatment options. Usually, there is no difference in therapeutic effect regardless of which biologics is used, but the effect for joint synovitis is unknown. Recently, ultrasound (US) has played a role of sensitive imaging modality in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with RA.Objectives:The aim of this study was to compare the improvement of US findings between TNF inhibitors and non-TNF inhibitors at first biologics in patients with RA.Methods:Fifty-four RA patients who started the first biologics from September 2016 to December 2018 were included in this longitudinal study (SPEEDY study, UMIN000028260). All the patients were performed clinical examination, blood test and US examination at baseline, 4, 12, 24, 36 and 52 weeks. A US examination was performed at the bilateral first to fifth metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, first interphalangeal (IP) and second to fifth proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints, wrist joints (three part of radial, medial and ulnar) and first to fifth metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints, by using HI VISION Ascendus (Hitachi Medical Corporation, Japan) with a multifrequency linear transducer (18-6 MHz). The gray scale (GS) and power Doppler (PD) findings were assessed by the semi-quantitative method (0-3). GS score and PD score (both 0-108 points) were defined as the sum of each score. The change of disease activity and US findings were compared between TNF group and non-TNF group.Results:Among 54 cases, 32 patients were used TNF inhibitor and 22 were non-TNF inhibitor. Age and duration of RA were significantly higher in the non-TNF group, and MTX dose was significantly lower in the non-TNF group. The baseline inflammatory markers tended to be higher in the non-TNF group and the disease activity was also higher in the non-TNF group. However, the US findings showed no significant difference in both GS and PD between two groups at baseline. US improvement ratio was no difference between TNF group and non-TNF group at 4, 12, 24, 36 and 52 weeks in both GS and PD score. Regardless of the type of biologics, patients with long-term disease duration tended to have poor improvement in US synovial fingings.Table 1.Baseline patient and disease characteristicsTNF (n=32)non-TNF (n=22)P valueFemale patients, n (%)21 (65.6)16 (72.7)0.767Age (years)63.5±15.471.0±9.00.030Disease duration (years)6.5±8.213.0±11.70.032CRP (mg/dl)1.8±2.53.0±3.20.170DAS28-ESR5.0±1.45.8±1.20.022GS score26.1±18.831.8±21.10.313PD score17.6±11.423.1±14.60.150Figure 1.GS and PD improvement ratio at 4, 12, 24, 36 and 52 weeksConclusion:There was no difference in the US findings improvement between patients with TNF inhibitor and non-TNF inhibitor at first biologics in patients with RA.References:[1]Grassi W, Okano T, Di Geso L, Filippucci E.

Abstract
Background:Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have sarcopenia and stiff or painful joints might be at increased risk of falls and fractures.Objectives:The present study aimed to prospectively identify the incidence of clinical fractures and associated risk factors in patients with RA in a cohort study named the TOMORROW (UMIN000003876) that started in 2010.Methods:We evaluated anthropometric parameters, bone mineral density (BMD), disease activity, RA medication at baseline and observed the incidence of clinical fractures during nine years in 202 patients with RA (mean age, 58.6 y; medication with biological agents, 54.9%) and 202 age- and sex-matched non-RA volunteers (mean age, 57.4 y). We compared the incidence of clinical fractures between patients with RA and controls for nine years, and analyzed the risk factors for fractures using Cox proportional hazard model.Results:The incidence of clinical fractures in RA patients was significantly higher compared to controls (27.5 vs 18.3%, p=0.04). However, Cox proportional hazard model, adjusted by age, sex, smoking and body mass index, revealed that low BMD at thoracic vertebrae (< 0.7 g/cm2) significantly associated to the incidence of clinical fractures (hazard ratio [HR], 1.86, p=0.02), but not RA morbidity (HR 1.47, p=0.10) (Table 1). Among patients with RA, low BMD at the thoracic vertebrae (< 0.7 g/cm2) was the most prominent risk factor for clinical fractures (HR, 2.66, p=0.02) (Table 1). Although the use of glucocorticoid (GC) at baseline (HR, 1.68, p=0.09) was not a significant risk factor for fractures, a mean GC dose (≥ 2 mg/day) at entry increased risk for clinical fractures in the patients (HR, 1.91, p=0.04) (Table 1).Conclusion:RA per se was not a risk factor for clinical fractures in this cohort. Low BMD at the thoracic vertebrae and the use of GC with even low dose at entry were apparently significant risk factors for the incidence of clinical fractures among patients with RA.Disclosure of Interests:Kenji Mamoto: None declared, Tatsuya Koike Grant/research support from: Takeda Pharmaceutical, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation,Chugai Pharmaceutical, Eisai, Abbott Japan, Teijin Pharma, Banyu Pharmaceutical and Ono Pharmaceutical, Yutaro Yamada: None declared, Tadashi Okano: None declared, Yuko Sugioka: None declared, Masahiro Tada: None declared, Kentaro Inui Speakers bureau: Daiichi Sankyo Co.

Abstract
Background:Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by periductal lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary and lacrimal glands, which results in reduced secretory functions and oral and ocular dryness (1). In addition, patients often have extraglandular manifestations, such as interstitial pneumonia and interstitial nephritis, and the appearance of autoantibodies such as anti-Ro/SS-A and La/SS-B antibodies. Salivary gland ultrasonography (SGUS) is typically used to evaluate the findings of salivary glands; thus, we can evaluate the severity of salivary gland disorders due to SS using SGUS in real time (2).Objectives:To identify clinical indices, including disease activity, associated with glandular involvement evaluated using SGUS in patients with SS.Methods:We enrolled patients with SS (n=115) and non-SS sicca subjects (n=90) who visited Nagasaki University Hospital between 1995 and 2019. The patients’ SS classifications were based on the 2002 American–European Consensus Group (AECG) SS classification criteria (3). The non-SS sicca subjects exhibited sicca symptoms but did not fulfill the AECG SS classification criteria. SGUS and clinical indices such as age, sex, the focus score (FS), sicca symptoms, the Saxon test results, Schirmer’s test results, anti-SS-A/Ro antibody positivity, anti-SS-B/La antibody positivity, anti-centromere antibody (ACA) positivity, serum immunoglobulin G levels, and the clinical European League Against Rheumatism SS disease activity index were examined. The ultrasonography (US) score was calculated based on SGUS imaging (hypoechoic area, hyperechoic band, and irregular border) (4).Results:The US score was significantly higher in patients with SS than that in non-SS sicca subjects. In addition, we found significant correlations between the US score and FS in patients with SS. Multivariate analysis revealed the FS, Saxon test positivity, and ACA positivity as the variables independently associated with the US score in patients with SS. These results were the same in the primary SS patient group (n=96). Patients with ACA positivity had significantly higher US scores compared to those in patients with ACA negativity, whereas the FS was not significantly high. In addition, patients with ACA positivity had significantly greater positivity of hyperechoic bands than that in patients with ACA negativity.Conclusion:This study indicated that ACA positivity, which is not reflected in sialadenitis of SS, is associated with the US score in patients with SS. These results suggest that US findings of patients with ACA positivity might show specific changes in salivary glands, such as fibrosis, and not only sialadenitis (5).References:[1]Ramos-Casals M, Tzioufas AG, Font J.

Abstract
Background Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)-related hand lesions are one of the complications following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of patients with CRPS-related hand lesions following ARCR. Methods Altogether, 103 patients with ARCR were included in this study (mean age, 63.6±8.2 years; 66 males and 37 females; follow-up period, preoperative to 12 months postoperative). Clinical assessment included the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score, Constant score, 36-item short form health survey (SF-36) score, and Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) score from preoperative to 12 months postoperatively. The patients were either assigned to the CRPS group or non-CRPS group depending on CRPS diagnosis until the final follow-up, and clinical outcomes were then compared between the groups. Results Of 103 patients, 20 (19.4%) had CRPS-related hand lesions that developed entirely within 2 months postoperatively. Both groups showed significant improvement in JOA, UCLA, and Constant scores preoperatively to 12 months postoperatively (p<0.001). Comparisons between the two groups were not significantly different, except for SF-36 “general health perception” (p<0.05) at 12 months postoperatively. At final follow-up, three patients had residual CRPS-related hand lesions with limited range of motion and finger edema. Conclusions CRPS-related hand lesions developed in 19.4% of patients following ARCR. Shoulder or upper-limb function improved in most cases at 12 months, with satisfactory SF-36 patient-based evaluation results. Patients with residual CRPS-related hand lesions at the last follow-up require long-term follow-up.

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

Abstract
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
Objectives: Using multicentre ultrasound (US) cohort data among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), we aimed to identify baseline factors that permit differentiation between two patient cohorts achieving US remission and clinical remission, and to determine the factors contributing to the discrepancy.Method: We reviewed 248 Japanese patients diagnosed with RA who underwent treatment with biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs at 13 centres. We performed US assessments of the synovia of 22 joints. We assessed the percentages of patients with clinical remission and US remission, defined as total power Doppler scores of 0 at 12 months.Results: The 87 patients who achieved US remission were divided into a group that achieved both clinical and US remission (n = 53) and a group that achieved US remission only (n = 34). Baseline factors that were significantly and independently associated with clinical remission at 12 months among patients who also achieved US remission included short disease duration, the presence of concomitant methotrexate use, and low patient global assessment score (p < 0.05, p < 0.05, and p < 0.005, respectively).Conclusions: RA patients with baseline high patient global assessment scores and long disease duration at baseline were unlikely to achieve clinical remission even after achieving US remission. Objective joint assessments using US provide additional information of potential importance for the management of RA.

Abstract
Background: Previous studies have shown good clinical outcomes in patients with
irreparable large or massive rotator cuff tears treated using arthroscopic
partial repair (APR); however, few studies have evaluated both functional
and structural outcomes in these patients. Purpose: To evaluate both functional and structural outcomes in patients with large or
massive rotator cuff tears treated using APR. Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Between March 2009 and November 2016, a total of 30 patients underwent APR
because of the irreparability of their large or massive rotator cuff tears
during surgery. Of these patients, 24 completed the minimum 24-month
follow-up (mean, 61.8 ± 27.1 months; range, 24-112 months) and were included
in this study. Functional outcome measures included the Japanese Orthopaedic
Association (JOA) and University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) scores and
the visual analog scale for pain. Structural outcome measures comprised
preoperative fatty degeneration, mediolateral tear size, residual tendon
attachment area, and glenohumeral (GH) arthritic changes evaluated on
magnetic resonance imaging scans or plain radiographs before and after
surgery. Functional and structural outcomes were evaluated preoperatively,
at 3 months postoperatively, and at the final follow-up. Results: The JOA scores for all patients significantly improved from 67.9 ± 11.3
preoperatively to 85.4 ± 15.6 postoperatively (P <
.0001). Similarly, the UCLA scores significantly improved from 15.8 ± 4.20
preoperatively to 29 ± 6.69 at final follow-up postoperatively
(P < .0001). The mediolateral tear size were
significantly decreased at 3 months postoperatively (P <
.001) and at the final follow-up (P < .001). Compared
with preoperative scores, the novel score evaluating the residual tendon
attachment area improved from 3.08 ± 0.46 to 3.54 ± 0.41 (P
< .001) after surgery overall, although it significantly deteriorated
from 3 months postoperatively to the final follow-up. GH osteoarthritis
progressed in 6 patients (25%). Patients who developed osteoarthritis had
lower JOA and UCLA scores than did those who did not (JOA,
P = .010; UCLA, P = .037). Conclusion: In irreparable large or massive rotator cuff tears treated using APR,
functional outcome improved after surgery. Although the residual tendon
attachment area improved, functional outcome after APR corresponded to the
GH alterations at the midterm follow-up. Longer-term follow-up is needed to
further elucidate the effect of APR on clinical outcomes in these
patients.

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that mainly damages the salivary and lacrimal glands. Immune complex (IC) formation triggers local inflammation through IC deposition and decreased antigen function. Some ICs can leak from the lesion and into the saliva, but no salivary ICs have been reported to date. We used immune complexome analysis to comprehensively identify antigens incorporated into IC (IC-antigens) in saliva samples from patients with SS (n = 9) or with xerostomia (n = 7). Neutrophil defensin 1 (67%), small proline-rich protein 2D (67%), myeloperoxidase (44%), neutrophil elastase (44%), cathepsin G (33%), nuclear mitotic apparatus 1 (33%) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate 3-kinase C2 domain-containing subunit gamma (33%) were identified as new IC-antigens specifically and frequently detected in the saliva of SS patients. Of these, neutrophil defensin 1, myeloperoxidase, neutrophil elastase and cathepsin G are neutrophil intracellular proteins, which suggests that repeated destruction of neutrophils due to abnormal autoimmunity may be involved in the pathogenesis of SS. We also analyzed serum samples from three SS patients. There was little overlap of IC-antigens between two of the samples (fewer than 30% of the IC-antigens in the saliva samples), suggesting that many ICs are formed locally and independently of the circulation. In addition, we found that four SS-specific salivary antigens show sequence homology with several proteins of oral microbiomes but no antigen has homology with Epstein-Barr virus proteins. The homology between some IC-antigens and oral microbiome proteins may indicate the impact of oral infection on local autoimmunity through molecular mimicry theory.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) is an autoimmune disease that is sometimes complicated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RPILD). However, serum and lung biomarkers that can predict RPILD development remain unclear. OBJECTIVES To determine potential serum and lung biomarkers that can predict RPILD development in patients with PM/DM-ILD. METHODS In total, 49 patients with PM/DM-ILD were enrolled. We measured the serum levels of 41 cytokines/chemokines, ferritin and anti-MDA5 antibody, compared them between the RPILD (n = 23) and non-RPILD (n = 26) groups, and ranked them by their importance through random forest analysis. To distinguish the two groups, we determined biomarker combinations by logistic regression analysis. We also measured the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of 41 cytokines/chemokines. Using immunohistochemistry, we examined IL-15 expression in lung tissues. The IL-15 production was also investigated using A549 and BEAS-2B cells. RESULTS The RPILD group had significantly higher IL-15, IL-1RA, IL-6, CXCL10, VCAM-1, anti-MDA5 antibody and ferritin serum levels than the non-RPILD group, but it had a significantly low CCL22 level. Meanwhile, anti-MDA5 antibody, IL-15, CXCL8, CCL22, IL-1RA and ferritin were the best combination to distinguish the two groups. IL-15 and CCL22 were also predictive marker for RPILD development in anti-MDA5 antibody-positive patients. Additionally, the RPILD group had significantly high IL-15 levels in BALF. The lung tissues expressed IL-15, which increased after cytokine stimulation in the A549 cells. CONCLUSION This study identified a combination of biomarkers predicting PM/DM-RPILD progression, and IL-15 is an important cytokine for predicting RPILD development and reflecting ILD severity.
