Abstract
BACKGROUND The critical role of radiographic assessment at the time of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) diagnosis is underscored by this study. We performed a retrospective analysis of radiographic changes in metastasis from the time of diagnosis of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) to CRPC diagnosis. We also explored its impact on prognosis post-CRPC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 98 men who underwent radiographic examinations (bone scans and computed tomography [CT]) at the time of CRPC diagnosis. When radiographic studies demonstrated progression at CRPC diagnosis, patients were assigned to the radiographic progressive disease (rPD) group. The remaining patients were placed in the "non-rPD" group. The overall survival (OS) post-CRPC was compared between the 2 groups. RESULTS The median OS post-CRPC was significantly shorter in the rPD group (n = 50) compared to the non-rPD group (n = 48) (32 months vs. not reached, P = .0124). Multivariate analysis showed that radiographic progression and shorter time to CRPC were associated with a shorter OS post-CRPC (hazard ratio [HR] = 3.14; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-8.12, P = .019). CONCLUSION Radiographic progression at the point of CRPC diagnosis independently predicts a shorter OS post-CRPC in patients with mHSPC. Therefore, assessing radiographic changes at the time of CRPC diagnosis could be instrumental in managing CRPC in patients with mHSPC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Venous injury may occur during exposure of the anterior longitudinal ligament at the anterior sacral promontory (SP). We aimed to quantitatively measure the extent of the vascular window (VW) in front of the SP in patients with internal iliac vein (IIV) variations using preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3DCTA). We hypothesized that patients with IIV variations would have a narrow VW. METHODS This prospective observational study included patients scheduled for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) between July 2022 and April 2023 who underwent preoperative 3DCTA. The primary endpoint was the VW measurement in the standard and variant IIV groups using 3DCTA before LSC. The secondary endpoint was the difference between the two IIV groups adjusted for age, body mass index, hypertension, and diabetes using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model. Multiple regression analysis was performed to analyze the effect of factors on the distance from the SP to great vascular bifurcations. RESULTS There were 20 cases of IIV variation (20.2%). VW was 28.8 ± 12.4 mm in the variant group and 39.6 ± 12.6 mm in the standard group (p = 0.001). In the ANCOVA model, IIV variations affected VW (coefficient, -11.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], -18.4 to -5.08, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed that the aorta-SP distance decreased with age (coefficient, -0.44; 95% CI, -0.77 to -0.11, p = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS One in five women has a vascular variant at the SP that restricts the "safe" zone of fixation to < 3 cm.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS Sacrocolpopexy was traditionally performed for post-hysterectomy prolapse or during concurrent hysterectomy. Sacrocolpopexy outcome with uterine preservation is poorly investigated. This study compared outcomes of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with concurrent supracervical hysterectomy or uterine preservation. METHODS This retrospective study compared data of patients with pelvic organ prolapse who underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with uterine preservation with the data of controls who underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with supracervical hysterectomy. We analyzed composite failure in uterine preservation versus concurrent supracervical hysterectomy (primary objective) and evaluated factors associated with the primary outcome of composite failure after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with preservation or supracervical hysterectomy (secondary objective). Composite failure was defined as subjective bulge symptoms, reoperation, or anatomical prolapse. Cox models indicated time to composite failure as an endpoint. RESULTS Of 274 patients, 232 underwent laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with supracervical hysterectomy and 42 underwent laparoscopic uterine preservation. After propensity score matching (ratio: 2, for the laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy with supracervical hysterectomy group), 56 patients (24.1%) were in the supracervical hysterectomy group and 28 (66.7%) in the uterine preservation group. All patients underwent 24 months of follow-up. The composite failure rates were 10.7% for supracervical hysterectomy and 3.6% for preservation (p=0.87). The mean estimated blood loss was 10 ml (preservation, 10.0 ml [5.0-10.0] versus supracervical hysterectomy, 10.0 ml [10.0-15.0]; p=0.007). In the Cox proportional hazards model, higher preoperative body mass index and the point Ba increased composite failure risk. CONCLUSIONS Although not statistically significant, composite failure in the two techniques is likely clinically meaningful.

Abstract
Objective Salvage radiation therapy (SRT) is standard treatment for patients after radical prostatectomy (RP). However, the optimal timing of SRT remains to be elucidated. Material and methods We retrospectively reviewed 133 prostate cancer (PCa) patients who underwent SRT for biochemical recurrence after RP. Disease progression was defined as repeated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level more than 0.2 ng/mL, greater than the post-SRT nadir or radiographic progression. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to identify the optimal pre-SRT PSA level for predicting progression after SRT. Cox regression analyses were performed to elucidate the association between clinicopathologic characteristics and disease progression. Results Fifty-one PCa patients (38.4%) experienced disease progression after SRT. The optimal cutoff value of the pre-SRT PSA for predicting disease progression was 0.44 ng/mL. In multivariable analysis, pre-SRT PSA >0.44 ng/mL was a significant independent predictor of post-SRT disease progression [hazard ratio (HR): 2.02, P = 0.02]. Although the pre-SRT PSA >0.44 ng/mL did not maintain its independent association with disease progression in the multivariable analysis of patients with adverse pathology (HR: 1.63, P = 0.22), PSA within 4 weeks after RP as a continuous variable was significantly associated with disease progression (HR: 1.19, P = 0.04). Conclusions Our results highlight that in PCa patients who undergo RP, SRT should be performed before their PSA reaches 0.44 ng/mL. In patients with adverse pathology disease, a high PSA level within the 4 weeks after RP might identify those who are likely to have disease progression, and these patients might require systemic therapy.

Abstract
The fecal pellets of Marphysa sp. E sensu Abe et al. (2019) (Annelida, Eunicidae) living in the Yoro tidal flat (Ichihara, Chiba, Japan) contain high levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and the concentrations rapidly decrease over time. To investigate the origin of the high-concentration PAHs in the fecal pellets and food sources of the worms, the PAH concentrations, carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N), total organic carbon, and total nitrogen for two types of sediment (sands and reduced muds), fecal pellets, and the body of the worms were determined. The PAH concentrations and chemical properties of the fecal pellets were similar to those of the reduced muds (20-30 cm sediment depth). The δ13C, δ15N, and C/N values of reduced muds were the same as the typical values of terrestrial C3 plants, suggesting that reduced muds were derived from terrestrial plants. These data indicated that the worms selectively take up reduced muds containing high levels of PAHs. The δ13C and δ15N values of the worm bodies indicated that the worms did not use the organic carbon derived from terrestrial C3 plants as primary nutrition. Taking into consideration their selective uptake of reduced muds, excretion, and subsequent rapid decrease of PAHs in the fecal pellets, the worms could contribute to the remediation of chemical pollutants in the tidal flat sediments.

Abstract
Macrophthalmus banzai is an intertidal crab species of Macrophthalmidae inhabiting muddy tidal flats in the northwestern Pacific. A previous study on the population genetic structure of Japanese M. banzai based on the mitochondrial COI gene sequences revealed the presence of two genetically distinguished groups, i.e., the northern group (Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu Islands) and the southern group (the Ryukyu Islands). In the present study, we newly determined the COI gene sequences of M. banzai collected from Taiwan and conducted population genetic analyses of these sequences together with Japanese sequences obtained from GenBank to reveal the genetic relationship of this species between Japan and Taiwan. The SAMOVA and pairwise ΦST analysis showed that the Taiwan population is more closely related to the northern group than the southern group. This indicates that the populations of M. banzai are not genetically differentiated by latitude but probably by the pathway of the Kuroshio Current, resulting in the isolation of the population in the Ryukyu Islands. Such a pattern is consistent with the population genetic structure of the fiddler crab Tubuca arcuata shown by a previous study, whereas the pattern differs from those of other intertidal invertebrates. The difference in the larval durations may have influenced the difference in population genetic structures among species. The present study provides a further case of the genetic structure of intertidal species that are not simply regulated by geographic distances.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The KEYNOTE-045 trial showed that pembrolizumab therapy improved the survival of patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC). However, its effectiveness in trial-ineligible patients remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective study to evaluate the effectiveness of pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic UC who were trial-ineligible. The data of 164 consecutive patients with platinum-treated metastatic UC who received pembrolizumab as second-line therapy were analyzed. Trial eligibility was assessed using the KEYNOTE-045 criteria. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was used to balance patient characteristics. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were examined using the IPTW-adjusted Kaplan-Meier method. IPTW-adjusted restricted mean survival times (RMSTs) were compared between ineligible and eligible patients. RESULTS Seventy-five patients (45.7%) were classified as ineligible based on the KEYNOTE-045 criteria. Baseline hemoglobin concentration of less than 9.0 g/dL was the most common reason for trial protocol violation (N = 23 [14.0%]). An IPTW-adjusted logistic regression model showed that the trial-eligibility was not significantly associated with objective response (OR: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.32 to 1.29, P = 0.22). Ineligible patients had similar RMST for PFS (difference: 3.8 months, 95% CI: -1.6 to 9.3, P = 0.17) and RMST for OS (difference: 1.4 months, 95% CI: -5.4 to 8.2, P = 0.93) compared with eligible patients. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the effectiveness of pembrolizumab may be retained in ineligible patients with platinum-treated metastatic UC. Expanding trial eligibility criteria for these patients may be beneficial.

Abstract
PURPOSE The extent of effectiveness of upfront androgen receptor-axis-targeted therapies (ARAT) versus total androgen blockade (TAB) in improving prostate cancer-specific survival (CSS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in a real-world sample of Japanese patients with high-volume mHSPC remains unclear. We, therefore, investigated the efficacy and safety of upfront ARAT versus bicalutamide for de novo high-volume mHSPC in Japanese patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a multicenter retrospective study that analyzed CSS, clinical PFS, and adverse events (AEs) in 170 patients with newly diagnosed high-volume mHSPC. Fifty-six patients were treated with upfront ARAT, and 114 of them were prescribed bicalutamide in addition to ADT between January 2018 and March 2021. The primary and secondary endpoints were CSS and PFS, respectively. A 1:1 nearest neighbor propensity score matching (PSM) with a caliper of 0.2 was performed to match the ARAT group to TAB patients. RESULTS During the follow-up for a median of 21.5 months, the median CSS was not reached and 37 months in the upfront ARAT and total androgen blockade (TAB) groups, respectively (log-rank test: P=0.006) by propensity score matching (PSM). Moreover, while the PFS of ARAT was unreached, the median PFS of TAB was 9 months (log-rank test: P<0.001). Nine patients discontinued ARAT owing to grade ≥3 AEs; one patient who was treated with TAB had a grade 3 AE. CONCLUSION Upfront ARAT significantly prolonged the CSS and PFS of patients with high-volume mHSPC better than TAB, although ARAT was associated with a higher rate of grade ≥3 AEs. Upfront ARAT can be more beneficial for patients with de novo high-volume mHSPC than TAB.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate differential clinical outcomes in patients treated with partial nephrectomy (PN) vs. percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) for cT1b renal tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the records of 119 patients who had undergone PN (n = 90) or PCA (n = 29) for cT1b renal tumors. Inverse probability weighting (IPW) was used for balancing patient demographics, including renal function and tumor complexity. Perioperative complications, renal function preservation rates, and oncological outcomes such as local recurrence-free, metastasis-free, cancer-specific, and overall survival were compared using IPW-adjusted restricted mean survival times (RMSTs). RESULTS PCA was more likely to be selected for octogenarians (odds ratio: 11.4, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.33-45.1). During the median follow-up of 43 months in the PCA group and 36.5 months in the PN group, unablated local residue or local recurrence was noted in 6 patients in the PCA group and local recurrence was noted in 4 patients in the PN groups. Of the 6 patients in the PCA group, 4 underwent salvage PCA, and local control had been achieved at the last visit. In the IPW-adjusted population, PCA had significantly worse local recurrence-free survival compared with PN (IPW-adjusted RMST difference: -22.7 months, 95% CI: -45.3 to -0.4, P = 0.046). IPW-adjusted RMST for metastasis-free survival (P = 0.23), cancer-specific survival (P = 0.77), and overall survival (P = 0.11) did not differ between PCA and PN. In addition, PN was not a predictor for local control failure at the last visit (odds ratio: 0.30, 95%CI: 0.05-1.29). There were no statistically significant differences between PN and PCA in renal function preservation or overall/severe complication rates. CONCLUSIONS In patients with cT1b renal tumor, although the local recurrence rate is higher for PCA than for PN, PCA provides comparable distant oncologic outcomes. PCA can be an alternative treatment option for elderly, comorbid patients, even those with cT1b renal tumors.

Abstract
Linelike features in TeV γ rays constitute a "smoking gun" for TeV-scale particle dark matter and new physics. Probing the Galactic Center region with ground-based Cherenkov telescopes enables the search for TeV spectral features in immediate association with a dense dark matter reservoir at a sensitivity out of reach for satellite γ-ray detectors, and direct detection and collider experiments. We report on 223 hours of observations of the Galactic Center region with the MAGIC stereoscopic telescope system reaching γ-ray energies up to 100 TeV. We improved the sensitivity to spectral lines at high energies using large-zenith-angle observations and a novel background modeling method within a maximum-likelihood analysis in the energy domain. No linelike spectral feature is found in our analysis. Therefore, we constrain the cross section for dark matter annihilation into two photons to ⟨σv⟩≲5×10^{-28} cm^{3} s^{-1} at 1 TeV and ⟨σv⟩≲1×10^{-25} cm^{3} s^{-1} at 100 TeV, achieving the best limits to date for a dark matter mass above 20 TeV and a cuspy dark matter profile at the Galactic Center. Finally, we use the derived limits for both cuspy and cored dark matter profiles to constrain supersymmetric wino models.

Abstract
Objective The present study was performed to determine the risk of recurrent pelvic organ prolapse (POP) within 2 years after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) in patients with uterovaginal prolapse. Materials and Methods A retrospective comparative study was performed in a population of 204 patients over a 2-year follow-up period following LSC with concomitant supracervical hysterectomy or uterine preservation at a single urological clinic between 2015 and 2019. The primary outcome was surgical failure following LSC in cases of POP, focusing on failures occurring before the 2ndyear of follow-up. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the odds ratios (ORs) for surgical failure. Results The primary outcome, surgical failure in cases of POP, occurred 2 years after the initial surgery in 19 of the 204 patients (9.3%) (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.7% - 14.2%). Surgical failure was most common in the anterior compartment (n = 10, 4.9%), and further surgery was performed in seven of the patients with surgical failure (3.4%). The poor primary outcome was predicted by lysis of adhesions (OR, 7.5, 95% CI, 1.6-33.8, P = 0.008) and preoperative POP stage IV (OR, 3.5; 95% CI, 1.1-10.8, P = 0.03) on multivariable logistic regression analysis. Conclusion The overall rate of surgical failure following LSC in our cohort was 9.3% over the 2-year follow-up period after surgery, and preoperative prolapse stage IV was associated with a higher risk of recurrence.

Abstract
This study was performed to investigate medium-term outcomes and reoperation rates after laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC). We examined 119 patients undergoing LSC for symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The primary outcomes were subjective failure and anatomical failure at 2 years; a score ≥ 2 on question 3 of the PFDI-20 was considered to indicate subjective failure. POP-Q stage 2 or higher in any compartment was considered to indicate anatomical failure. Secondary outcomes were reoperations for POP recurrence, mesh-related complications, and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The rates of subjective failure and anatomical failure were 4.2% (n = 5) and 9.2% (n = 11), respectively. Reoperations were needed in 13.4% (n = 16) of patients, including SUI with tape procedure in 7.5% (n = 9), POP recurrence in 4.2% (n = 5), and mesh-related complications in 1.6% (n = 2). The subjective failure rate at 2 years after LSC was acceptably low.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) has clinical efficacy equivalent to open sacrocolpopexy, and there is evidence that LSC involves less blood loss and shorter length of hospital stay. However, there is still insufficient evidence to assess medium-term outcomes after LSC in Japan.What the results of this study revealed? The findings of this study showed excellent medium-term rates of subjective failure (4.2%) and anatomical failure (8.4%) after LSC. We demonstrated that patients with persistent postoperative vaginal bulge (subjective failure) also had no improvement in postoperative urinary and colorectal symptoms. Our cohort had low rates of reoperation (13.4%) after LSC. The most common reoperations were for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) (7.5%), followed by pelvic organ prolapse (POP) recurrence (4.2%) and mesh-related complications (1.6%).What are the implications of these findings in clinical practice and/or further research? This study showed that LSC is a safe and effective treatment for POP. Comparative evaluation of anatomical outcomes and the patient's condition is required to understand the extent to which LSC positively impacts a woman's pelvic floor-related quality of life.

Abstract
Background There are currently two species within the small enigmatic genus Atherospio Mackie & Duff, 1986, which belongs to the Pygospiopsis-Atherospio group in the family Spionidae Grube, 1850. The taxonomic relationship of the genus Atherospio with other spionid or spioniform genera is currently not well understood due to its unusual morphological characteristics. Methods Here, we describe a new Atherospio species, Atherospio aestuarii sp. nov., based on materials collected from three localities in Japan: Hirota Bay (Iwate Prefecture), Ago Bay (Mie Prefecture), and Yakushima Island (Kagoshima Prefecture). We have also evaluated the possible systematic position of this new species by conducting molecular phylogenetic analyses using the nuclear 18S, 28S, and mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene sequences. Results The morphology of A. aestuarii sp. nov. resembles that of A. disticha Mackie & Duff, 1986 and A. guillei (Laubier & Ramos, 1974) in having branchiae fused to the notopodial lamellae on a restricted number of segments from chaetiger 7, modified neurochaetae on chaetiger 5, and at least some bidentate neuropodial hooks with the secondary tooth below the main fang. The form and arrangement of the modified aristate neurochaetae in double vertical rows closely resemble those found on chaetigers 4 and 5 of A. disticha. The new species lacks the occipital antenna present in A. disticha. In this respect it resembles A. guillei, however, that species differs in having robust neuropodial spines on chaetiger 5 and peristomial papillae, and a preponderance of unidentate neurochaetae. Both A. guillei and the new species have slender needle-like notochaetae in their posteriormost chaetigers. Atherospio aestuarii sp. nov. is distinguished from both congeneric species by its branchial and neuropodial hook distributions. The new species is also unique in that it was recorded at relatively shallow depths, which included intertidal zones. The results of our molecular phylogenetic analysis indicate that the new species was included in a clade that included the genera of the Polydora complex, Pygospio Claparède, 1863, Glandulospio Meißner, Bick, Guggolz, Götting, 2014, Spio Fabricius, 1785, Microspio Mesnil, 1896, Marenzelleria Mesnil, 1896, Rhynchospio Hartman, 1936, Scolelepis Blainville, 1828, Dispio Hartman, 1951, and Malacoceros Quatrefages, 1843 with robust statistical support. The new species formed a clade with Dispio and Scolelepis, however, statistical support for the node was not significant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of concurrent proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use with treatment outcome of metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) remains controversial. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the records of 227 patients with platinum-treated metastatic UC treated with pembrolizumab. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). Immune progression-free survival (iPFS) and objective response per immune response evaluation criteria in solid tumors were also compared. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW)-adjusted multivariable Cox regression models and an IPTW-adjusted multivariable logistic regression model were used to evaluate the oncological outcomes. Furthermore, the heterogeneity of the treatment effect on OS was examined using interaction terms within the IPTW-adjusted univariate Cox regression models. RESULTS Overall, 86 patients (37.9%) used PPIs. After weighting, no significant differences in patient characteristics were observed between PPI users and non-users. PPI use was significantly associated with a shorter OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.02, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.28-3.18, P = 0.003) and iPFS (HR: 1.70, 95% CI: 1.23-2.35, P = 0.001). Although not statistically significant, PPI use was associated with objective response as well (OR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.36-1.02, P = 0.06). The interaction analyses showed that the effect of PPI significantly decreased with age (HR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.93-1.00, P[interaction] = 0.048) and was increased in males (HR: 2.97, 95% CI: 1.10-8.05, P[interaction] = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS PPI use was significantly associated with worse survival of patients with metastatic UC treated with pembrolizumab. Furthermore, the results suggested that its effects decreased with age and was increased in males.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been hypothesized that women with significant pelvic organ prolapse (POP), particularly of the anterior vaginal wall, may have voiding dysfunction (VD). Although the VD mechanism due to cystocele is not fully understood, different vaginal compartments have rarely been closely examined. This study attempted to further elucidate the correlation between POP and VD through a new subgroup classification using cystoscopy. METHODS This study reviewed clinical records of 49 women who underwent cystocele repair. All patients were scheduled for laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, preoperatively underwent uroflowmetry and postvoid residual urine volume (PVR) measurement, and completed pelvic floor function questionnaires. Bladder examination by cystoscopy was additionally performed using the lithotomy position with the Valsalva maneuver. RESULTS Subjects were divided into four groups according to hernia orifice presence determined by cystoscopy, which included the trigone type, posterior wall type, trigone and urethra type, and trigone and posterior wall type. The posterior wall type had statistically higher PVR values versus the trigone and posterior wall type (P = 0.013). The posterior wall type had statistically lower values for average urine flow rate versus the urethra and trigone type (P = 0.020). There were no significant differences noted in the pelvic floor function questionnaires among the four groups. CONCLUSIONS A new bladder defect classification based upon hernia orifice location was associated with lower urinary tract function. Posterior wall hernia presence caused significant voiding function deterioration. This new subgroup classification, which can more clearly identify and indicate bladder function, is also comparable among patients.

Abstract
A new species of Spirobranchus (Annelida: Serpulidae) is described based on specimens collected at the coastal Shonan area of Sagami Bay and the adjacent areas of Honshu, Japan. Spirobranchusakitsushima sp. nov. forms large aggregations in the intertidal rocky zone of warm-temperate Japanese shores. This species was referred to as Pomatoleioskraussii (Baird, 1864) until the monotypic genus Pomatoleios was synonymized with Spirobranchus. This new species is formally described based on morphologically distinct Japanese specimens with supporting DNA sequence data. The calcareous opercular endplate of Spirobranchusakitsushima sp. nov. lacks a distinct talon, but some specimens have a slight rounded swelling on the endplate underside, while in other species of the S.kraussii complex a talon is present, usually extended, and with bulges. We examined sub-fossil tube aggregations of the new species and suggest that such aggregation stranded ashore is a good indicator of vertical land movements (uplift and subsidence) resulting from past events, such as earthquakes, in Honshu, Japan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Edinburgh Visual Gait Score (EVGS) has been used for observational gait assessment in children with cerebral palsy (CP). However, the measurement error of the EVGS and its detailed relationship with gross motor function remain unclear. RESEARCH QUESTIONS This study aimed to confirm the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability as well as the minimal detectable change (MDC) values for the EVGS with the use of the video analysis software and examine the relationship between the EVGS and the Gross Motor Function Measure 66 (GMFM-66) with regard to construct validity. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted for 62 children (mean age 11.3 ± 3.9 years) with spastic CP at Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level I (32 children), II (25 children) or III (5 children). Three raters independently scored the EVGS using Kinovea video analysis software. The intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were calculated using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC2,1), and the MDC90 was calculated using standard error of measurement. The construct validity was examined by correlating the EVGS with the GMFM-66. RESULTS The EVGS showed good or excellent reliability within each rater (ICC2,1 = 0.90-0.97) and between raters (ICC2,1 = 0.91). The MDC90 of the EVGS ranged from 3.6 to 6.0. There was a significant correlation between the EVGS and the GMFM-66 (r = - 0.69 to - 0.73, p < 0.001). SIGNIFICANCE The intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the EVGS is sufficient for observational gait assessment. The high correlation between the EVGS and the GMFM-66 supports its construct validity. The authors propose an MDC of 6.0 for the EVGS. These results can help in the application of EVGS to children with CP at GMFCS level I-II with mild to moderate gait pathology, as there were few children with CP at GMFCS level III.

Abstract
Due to its low postoperative complication rate, vaginal surgery is the preferred intervention for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) in elderly patients. We aimed to assess outcomes and perioperative complication rates associated with laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) in elderly women. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 74 consecutive patients [52 (70.3%) aged <75 years; 22 (29.7%) aged ≥75 years] with POP who underwent LSC between August 2015 and December 2017. We evaluated preoperative risks using the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and complications, using the Clavien-Dindo grading (CDG). No between-group differences were observed in CCI. CDG indicated fewer perioperative complications in patients aged >75 years. Anatomical success rates at 15 months were 95.5% and 90.4% in patients aged ≥75 and <75 years, respectively. LSC has a high anatomical correction rate and few perioperative complications regardless of age. Thus, the appropriate surgical intervention method would depend on the patient's health and comorbidities.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) is a superior method to vaginal surgery because of its anatomical and functional outcomes, particularly regarding sexual activity.What do the results of this study add? In this single-center study with a 15-month follow-up, we demonstrated that LSC has a high anatomical correction rate and few perioperative complications regardless of age at the time of surgery. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in the rate of complications between the ≥75 and <75 years groups. Thus, LSC may be considered for women aged >75 years. However, in these elderly patients, the surgical method should be determined according to their health status and medical comorbidities.What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? Age should not be the basis for exclusion from laparoscopic procedures. Moreover, LSC is a suitable and valid option for elderly women with POP. As the study population consisted of a homogenous group of Japanese women, it lacks generalisability. Studies evaluating these outcomes are required in other populations.

Abstract
In this study, hydrogen boride films are fabricated by ion-exchange treatment on magnesium diboride (MgB2) films under ambient temperature and pressure. We prepared oriented MgB2 films on strontium titanate (SrTiO3) substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Subsequently, these films were treated with ion exchangers in acetonitrile solution. TOF-SIMS analysis evidenced that hydrogen species were introduced into the MgB2 films by using two types of ion exchangers: proton exchange resin and formic acid. According to the HAXPES analysis, negatively charged boron species were preserved in the films after the ion-exchange treatment. In addition, the FT-IR analysis suggested that B-H bonds were formed in the MgB2 films following the ion-exchange treatment. The ion-exchange treatment using formic acid was more efficient compared to the resin treatment; with respect to the amount of hydrogen species introduced into the MgB2 films. These ion-exchanged films exhibited photoinduced hydrogen release as observed in a powder sample. Based on the present study, we expect to be able to control the morphology and hydrogen content of hydrogen boride thin films by optimising the ion-exchange treatment process, which will be useful for further studies and device applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Randomized trials showed the survival benefits of the combined use of androgen receptor axis-targeted agents with androgen deprivation therapy in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), regardless of the risk. However, treating patients with low-risk mHSPC with such intensive treatment is still debatable. METHODS This retrospective study included 155 low-risk patients among 467 mHSPC patients treated in our affiliated institutions. The association between predictive factors and treatment outcomes was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Predictive factors for castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC)-free survival were investigated using Cox regression analyses. RESULTS During the median follow-up of 39 months, 38.7% of patients developed CRPC and 14.2% died. In the multivariate analyses, a presence of Gleason pattern 5 (hazard ratio [HR] 2.04), high alkaline phosphatase (HR 1.007) and high lactate dehydrogenase (HR 1.009) were significant predictive factors for shorter CRPC-free survival. Finally, 155 patients were stratified into favorable- and unfavorable-risk groups based on the numbers of the predictive factors. The overall survival (OS) in the unfavorable-risk group (total scores: 2-3) was significantly worse than that of the favorable-risk group (total score: 0-1) (P = 0.02). This prognostic model was assessed with 50 low-risk mHSPC patients from the external validation dataset and found both the time to CRPC, and the OS in the unfavorable-risk group was significantly worse than that of the favorable-risk group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The combination of Gleason pattern 5, high alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase can predict those with worse OS in low-risk mHSPC patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The effect of synthetic mesh after pelvic organ prolapse surgery on the progression of bladder cancer remains unclear. CASE PRESENTATION A 79-year-old woman who underwent a tension-free vaginal mesh procedure 8 years prior was diagnosed with carcinoma in situ of the bladder. Although intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy was started, the tumor rapidly became muscle invasive. Laparoscopic radical cystectomy was performed following radiochemotherapy; however, the tumor extended to the left internal obturator muscle along the mesh arm. Pathological findings showed desmoplastic high-grade urothelial carcinoma infiltrating around the mesh. Finally, cancer recurred rapidly in the left internal obturator muscle. CONCLUSION Synthetic mesh can become an abnormal anatomical pathway for tumor infiltration. Therefore, in high-risk bladder cancer patients who underwent a tension-free vaginal mesh procedure, radical cystectomy should be performed without delay before the tumor invades the perivesical tissue.

Abstract
Planktonic larvae of spionid polychaetes are among the most common and abundant group in coastal meroplankton worldwide. The present study reports the morphology of spionid larvae collected mainly from coastal waters of northeastern Japan that were identified by the comparison of adult and larval 18S and 16S rRNA gene sequences. The molecular analysis effectively discriminated the species. Adult sequences of 48 species from 14 genera (Aonides Claparède, 1864; Boccardia Carazzi, 1893; Boccardiella Blake & Kudenov, 1978; Dipolydora Verrill, 1881; Laonice Malmgren, 1867; Malacoceros Quatrefages, 1843; Paraprionospio Caullery, 1914; Polydora Bosc, 1802; Prionospio Malmgren, 1867; Pseudopolydora Czerniavsky, 1881; Rhynchospio Hartman, 1936; Scolelepis Blainville, 1828; Spio Fabricius, 1785; Spiophanes Grube, 1860) and larval sequences of 41 species from 14 genera (Aonides; Boccardia; Boccardiella; Dipolydora; Laonice; Paraprionospio; Poecilochaetus Claparède in Ehlers, 1875; Polydora; Prionospio; Pseudopolydora; Rhynchospio; Scolelepis; Spio; Spiophanes) of spionid polychaetes were obtained; sequences of 27 of these species matched between adults and larvae. Morphology of the larvae was generally species-specific, and larvae from the same genus mostly shared morphological features, with some exceptions. Color and number of eyes, overall body shape, and type and arrangement of pigmentation are the most obvious differences between genera or species. The morphological information on spionid larvae provided in this study contributes to species or genus level larval identification of this taxon in the studied area. Identification keys to genera and species of planktonic spionid larvae in northeastern Japan are provided. The preliminary results of the molecular phylogeny of the family Spionidae using 18S and 16S rRNA gene regions are also provided.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The paratenon is a sheath-like connective tissue that allows the tendon to move with minimal friction. The careful removal of the paratenon along the cruciate ligaments is a critical step of knee surgery. Thus, orthopedic surgeons and interventional radiologists consider the paratenon as a basic anatomical tissue along a ligament, not along a tendon. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed macroscopic and histological observations of cruciate ligament-associated paratenons in 43 human fetuses. RESULTS This tissue usually had a thick armor-like appearance that was distant from the infrapatellar fat pad. The anterior cruciate ligament, rather than the posterior ligament, was deeply embedded in the paratenon. The paratenon contained abundant arteries and veins and, at and near the crossing between the cruciate ligaments, had a well-developed venous plexus. Notably, there were abundant fused veins in the paratenon venous plexus, and prenatal knee movements (especially rotation) seemed to restrict its blood supply, leading to the development of a large cavity by way of advancing fusion of veins in the degenerating plexus. This unique manner of cavitation likely expanded the joint cavity. CONCLUSIONS Differences in knee movements in utero seemed to cause differences in the thickness of the paratenon among fetuses. New-borns might have limited knee flexion due to a mass-effect of the thick paratenon around the cruciate ligaments. A slight twisting or rotation at the knee may help to release the knee, because it can break the fetal paratenon and accelerate cavitation.

Abstract
Background: Cutaneous vesicostomy is a urinary diversion for chronic urinary retention caused by neurogenic bladder. In this procedure, urine is drained directly from the bladder into a pouch attached to the lower abdomen, where the use of a catheter is unnecessary. Although complications of this procedure have been described, such as stoma stenosis, bladder prolapse, bladder calculi, and peristomal dermatitis, it is useful for patients who have difficulty with permanent bladder catheterization. The laparoscopy-assisted technique for cutaneous vesicostomy has not been described in the existing literature. In this report, we describe the case of an adult patient with chronic urinary retention caused by a neurogenic bladder who underwent laparoscopy-assisted cutaneous vesicostomy. Case Presentation: A 61-year-old man with intellectual disability was referred to our department because of macroscopic hematuria and urinary retention. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography images showed excessive bladder dilation and bilateral hydronephrosis. A left kidney tumor was found incidentally. We diagnosed left renal carcinoma and chronic urinary retention caused by a neurogenic bladder. We suspected that the hematuria resulted from the renal cancer or from mucosal or submucosal vessel injury caused by excessive dilation of the bladder. Because of the patient's intellectual disability, self-intermittent catheterization or management of a urethral catheter was not possible. Therefore, we performed left radical nephrectomy laparoscopically followed by laparoscopy-assisted cutaneous vesicostomy under general anesthesia. By using laparoscopy, we could construct the vesicostomy in the bladder dome with less tension, and no stomal complications had occurred at 7 months postoperatively. Conclusion: Laparoscopy-assisted cutaneous vesicostomy was a safe and feasible surgical technique in our adult patient with chronic urinary retention. This procedure may be considered effective for patients having difficulty with permanent urinary catheterization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the prognostic value of pre-surgical modified Glasgow prognostic score in upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 273 urinary tract urothelial carcinoma patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy. The modified Glasgow prognostic score was evaluated based on pre-surgical serum C-reactive protein and albumin. Association of modified Glasgow prognostic score with recurrence-free survival, cancer-specific survival and overall survival rates was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test was used to compare survival outcome. Cox regression analyses were performed for the assessment of the modified Glasgow prognostic score with recurrence-free survival, cancer-specific survival and overall survival. RESULTS Of total 273 patients, the modified Glasgow prognostic score 0, 1 and 2 were assigned in 216 (79%), 45 (17%) and 12 (4%), respectively. The recurrence-free survival, cancer-specific survival and overall survival of urinary tract urothelial carcinoma patients with modified Glasgow prognostic score 2 were significantly worse than those with modified Glasgow prognostic score 0. On univariate analysis, modified Glasgow prognostic score 2 was associated with worse recurrence-free survival, cancer-specific survival and overall survival (all P value <0.01). On multivariate analyses, modified Glasgow prognostic score 2 was independently associated with worse cancer-specific survival and overall survival (hazard ratio: 4.73, 95% confidence interval: 1.31-17.2 and hazard ratio: 3.66, 95% confidence interval: 1.08-12.4, respectively). In the subgroup analyses of advanced urinary tract urothelial carcinoma patients, modified Glasgow prognostic score 2 was independently associated with worse recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio 4.31, 95% confidence interval: 1.69-11.1). CONCLUSIONS Pre-surgical modified Glasgow prognostic score independently predicts cancer-specific survival and overall survival of urinary tract urothelial carcinoma patients. Assessment of pre-surgical modified Glasgow prognostic score status could help identifying the worse survivor of urinary tract urothelial carcinoma patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subgroup analysis of KEYNOTE-045 suggested that cigarette smoking had a positive impact on the effectiveness of pembrolizumab in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC), whereas studies on other cancers treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors reported inconsistent results. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the association between smoking-related factors and the effectiveness of pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic UC. PATIENTS AND METHODS This multicenter retrospective study was conducted using data from 95 patients with metastatic UC treated with pembrolizumab. The primary outcomes were progression and all-cause mortality. Time-to-event outcomes were compared with smoking history and lifetime smoking exposure at treatment initiation. Survival curves were compared using the log-rank test, with hazard ratios (HRs) estimated from Cox regression models. Cubic spline regression analysis was used to depict event hazards. RESULTS We identified 32 (34.7%) patients with heavy smoking exposure (≥ 25 pack-years). Moreover, 19 (20.0%), 36 (37.9%), and 40 (42.1%) patients were current, former, and never smokers, respectively. Multivariable models showed that heavy smoking exposure was significantly associated with lower risk of progression (HR 0.58; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.35-0.97; P = 0.047) and all-cause mortality (HR 0.30; 95% CI 0.11-0.82; P = 0.019). Cubic spline regression analyses revealed a dose-effect relationship. No significant association was observed between smoking history alone and effectiveness of pembrolizumab. CONCLUSIONS Lifetime smoking exposure plays a significant role in the effectiveness of pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic UC.

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

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Despite sudden cardiac death (SCD) in working generation is a crucial issue in terms of public health, social and economic significance, the long-term SCD condition in working generation is unclear.
Purpose
This study aimed to clarify the features and long-term trends of SCD in working generation from 2005 through 2016 in Japan, using a prospective, nationwide, population based out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) registry.
Methods
We performed data analysis of the nation-wide registry in Japan who experienced OHCA during the 12 years. Working generation was defined as 20 to 69 years and we analyzed only definitive cardiogenic OHCA as an approximation of SCD.
Results
The number of definitive cardiogenic OHCA of working generation during the period was 66,214 and 31% of the events in whole population was working generation. Definitive cardiogenic OHCA in working generation in terms of both number and percentage of the population had been decreased from 6522 (0.07‰) in 2005 to 4910 (0.06‰) in 2016, bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and usage of automated external defibrillator (AED) ratio increased from 32.7% in 2005 to 49.6% in 2016, and 0.3% in 2005 to 14.7% in 2016 respectively, and the survival rate after one-month improved year by year, from 12.8% in 2005 to 34.0% in 2016 (picture below). Among non-medical bystanders, CPR was most often performed by colleagues in this generation, while AED use rate by colleague was smaller, and the time from witness to initial defibrillation was significantly longer than by passerby. Good prognosis was observed in terms of one-month survival ratio and neurological outcome for those undergoing CPR by colleague and passerby compared with other bystanders. For 12 years, although the degree varies, all non-medical bystander had same tendency; bystander CPR and usage of AED ratio increased, and the survival rate after one-month and neurological outcome improved year by year.
Conclusions
Not only the number but the incidence of cardiogenic OHCA in working generation has been decreased in Japan. The positive prognosis of this generation may be related to CPR by colleagues.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) occurring almost immediately (i.e., immediate OH, iOH) after movement to standing position is common, and may cause collapse due to instability or syncope. However, while “classic” OH (cOH) which typically occurs later is well-studied, iOH has received less attention.
Objectives
This study was designed to better understand blood pressure (BP) alterations associated with iOH in normal subjects and in symptomatic patients (pts) and to compare findings with both Active standing and Head-up tilt (HUT).
Methods
We studied 118 patients comprising 4 groups: 1) Normals (n=38), 2) Vasovagal syncope (VVS: n=27), 3) cOH (n=37), and 4) Primary Autonomic Failure (PAF, n=16). We compared timing and magnitude of BP fall and recovery during both drug-free “active standing” (≤10 min) and HUT (70°, ≤20 min). Continuous ECG and beat-to-beat BP were recorded. Statistical significance was tested using paired-t test and ANOVA as appropriate (significance: p≤0.05).
Results
Sex and BMI were similar among groups, but PAF pts tended to be older (62±17 yrs) vs Normals (44±16 yrs), VVS (32±12) and OH (45±21 yrs) pts. Time from upright posture to BP nadir was shorter with active standing vs HUT [p<0.005] except in PAF pts [p=NS]. Similarly, magnitude of BP fall (mmHg) tended to be greater with active standing in all groups (Normals −33±21 vs −20±18; VVS −28±16 vs −20±14; OH −37±16 vs −30±23; PAF −38±16 vs −34±28). Finally, except for PAF pts, BP recovery to baseline was shorter with active standing vs HUT (Table).
Conclusion
Active standing and HUT differ in evaluation of symptomatic pts. “Active standing” is associated with lesser time to BP nadir, greater BP fall, and faster BP recovery than with HUT. Additionally, iOH BP nadir typically occurs ≤15–20s after upright posture with rapid recovery necessitating beat-to-beat recordings to assess accurately.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical usefulness of Immunotherapy Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (iRECIST) in patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC) treated with pembrolizumab. The iRECIST is designed to accurately capture the tumour response treated with immunotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a multicentre retrospective study evaluating the clinical utility of iRECIST in 91 patients with metastatic UC treated with second-line pembrolizumab. The objective response (OR) and time to progression (TTP) in accordance with both iRECIST and RECIST version 1.1 were compared with overall survival (OS) and risk of all-cause mortality, and analysed using log-rank and multivariable Cox regression models, respectively. Predictive performance of the criteria was studied using Harrell's concordance index (c-index). The clinical usefulness of each criterion was compared using decision curve analysis. RESULTS Of 57 patients with progressive disease per RECIST, a considerable number of patients were reclassified to immune stable disease (six, 10.5%), immune partial response (two, 3.5%), and immune complete response (two, 3.5%) per iRECIST. Multivariable Cox regression models showed that both OR (hazard ratio [HR] 0.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.03-0.35; P = 0.001) and TTP (HR 0.59, 95% CI 0.46-0.77; P < 0.001) per iRECIST were significantly associated with all-cause mortality. Furthermore, iRECIST had a significant, increased predictability of OS compared with RECIST (OR, c-index: 0.70, increase: 0.04, P = 0.046; TTP, c-index: 0.88, increase: 0.07, P = 0.039). On decision curve analysis, iRECIST presented better net benefit gains than did RECIST. CONCLUSIONS Compared with RECIST, iRECIST could more accurately predict OS of patients with metastatic UC treated with pembrolizumab. The iRECIST has the potential to be a new standard for tumour response evaluation of these patients.

Abstract
Aims: This study aims to compare the total heart beat index (THBI) in evaluating energy efficiency between using a manual wheelchair and walking for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: The energy efficiency was measured in 21 participants with CP (mean age, 13.6 ± 3.4 years) who walk or drive a manual wheelchair using a square course. THBI was calculated as total number of heart beats during the exercise period/total distance traveled. Results: Significant differences in the THBI were observed between Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels III and IV (p = .049, effect size = 1.60). No significant differences in THBI were observed between GMFCS levels II and III or between GMFCS levels II and IV (p > .05). Conclusions: The energy efficiency of children with CP who use a manual wheelchair in this study was equal to or better than that for walking.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical prognostic value of red cell distribution width (RDW) in patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 582 consecutive patients with primary NMIBC. The efficacy of preoperative RDW at predicting treatment outcome was assessed. A cut-off point for predicting recurrence was also identified. Uni- and multivariable analyses of time to recurrence (TTR) and progression were conducted. Harrell's concordance index (c-index) was used to evaluate the additive value of RDW to the European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) risk scoring model for recurrence. RESULTS According to the receiver operating characteristic curve of RDW for recurrence, a RDW ≥ 14.5% was classified as high. In the multivariable analysis, a high RDW could independently predict shorter TTR (subdistribution hazard ratio [SHR]: 2.65, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.83-3.84, P < 0.001), irrespective of tumor characteristics. No significant relationship was observed between RDW and time to progression (SHR: 1.75, 95% CI: 0.76-4.08, P = 0.19). Adding binary-coded RDW to the EORTC risk scoring model significantly improved its discriminatory performance in assessing recurrence risk (c-index: 0.62, improvement: 0.052, P < 0.001). High RDW was associated with shorter TTR in patients treated with bacillus Calmette-Guerin in the multivariable analysis (SHR: 2.0, 95% CI: 1.01-3.98, P = 0.047). CONCLUSIONS RDW was an independent, significant prognostic factor of TTR in patients with primary NMIBC. Adding RDW to the EORTC risk model significantly improved the model's predictability for tumor recurrence.

Abstract
Evidence on laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) is lacking. Herein, we describe the complications and outcomes of LSC. This single-centre, retrospective cohort study included women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) who underwent LSC between 2015 and 2017. Preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative, and demographic data were collected. We evaluated patients using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification system and questionnaires. The primary outcomes were operative characteristics, perioperative complications, early postoperative complications, and anatomical results at 12 months. Forty-six patients (median age: 71 years) underwent LSC. The median follow-up period was 12.0 ± 5.0 (range: 11-26) months. The perioperative complications were bladder perforation and vaginal injury (2.2%). Two (4.3%) patients required reoperation for port-site hernia. One (2.2%) patient developed a retroperitoneal abscess, and one (2.2%) had worsened stress urinary incontinence after LSC. Three (6.5%) patients presented with recurrence of prolapse. LSC is safe and effective for POP.IMPACT STATEMENTWhat is already known on this subject? Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSC) has become a widely used intervention strategy during the last decade; nevertheless, few studies have reported its outcomes and complications.What do the results of this study add? We demonstrate that LSC for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has favourable anatomical and voiding functional results, and few perioperative complications. However, it is important to preoperatively inform patients regarding the incidence of mesh-related postoperative complications, although they are not life-threatening, and secure their informed consent.What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? We believe that the LSC procedure, because of its short-term and functional outcomes in the lower urinary tract discussed here, will be more commonly available in clinical practice as a feasible and safe surgical option for POP. However, prospective, large-sample studies should be performed to verify the efficacy of LSC, as further evaluation of the procedure is required.

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

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Appropriate pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) use may effectively decrease mortality in acute heart failure patients. The concept that the pulmonary artery catheter (PAC) is a valuable tool for hemodynamic monitoring when used in appropriately selected patients and by physicians trained well to interpret and apply the data correctly provided has not been evaluated adequately yet in acute heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Methods
The PERSUIT-HFpEF Registry is a prospective, observational, multicenter cohort study on prognosis of HFpEF in Japan. Patients hospitalized for heart failure (diagnosed by using Framingham criteria) who met both of the following criteria were enrolled: 1) a left ventricular ejection fraction of 50% or more as measured at the local site by echocardiography; 2) an elevated level of N terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT proBNP) (400 pg per milliliter or more) or brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) (100 pg per milliliter or more). In the present study, we evaluated the impact of PAC on all-cause death of the patients with HFpEF. PAC use was left at the discretion of attending physicians.
Results
The PERSUIT-HFpEF Registry enrolled 486 patients (81±9 years, 259 females, mean follow-up duration 198±195 days). Of these, data of PAC usage was available in 434 patients. Patients were further stratified according to use of a PAC: PAC 153 patients vs. non-PAC 281 patients. Length of hospitalization was numerically shorter in the PAC group than in the non-PAC group [20.3±14.7 vs. 22.5±17.4 days, p=0.182]. Kaplan-Meier estimated 1-year all-cause death rate was significantly lower in the PAC group than in the non-PAC group (9.5% vs. 19.1%, p=0.019). PAC use was associated with significant risk reduction of all-cause death [hazard ratio (HR) 0.425, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.203–0.890, p=0.023] in the crude analysis. The significant risk reduction still existed after multivariate adjustment including potential confounders [HR 0.427, 95% CI, 0.185–0.984, p=0.046]
Kaplan Meier analysis
Conclusions
In the real-world Asian registry data, PAC use was associated with the improved all-cause death rate, suggesting that the PAC might be a useful guidance tool for treatment of the patients with HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
E/e' and the ratio of diastolic elastance (Ed)/arterial elastance (Ea) = (E/e')/(0.9 × systolic blood pressure), indices of left atrial (LA) pressure overload, are elevated in elderly women with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The severity of diastolic dysfunction is assessed by a combination of several indices of LA volume and pressure overload. However, which overload is more important as a single factor for the prognosis of these patients remains undefined.
Methods
We enrolled patients with HFpEF showing sinus rhythm (n=145; left ventricular ejection fraction >50%; men/women, 56/89; mean age, 80.5 years). Blood examination and transthoracic echocardiography were performed before discharge. All-cause mortality and admission for cardiac events were evaluated after more than 1 year (mean, 370 days).
Results
The all-cause mortality rate was 11% (16/145). There were significant differences in age (p=0.005), serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level (p<0.001), LA volume index (p=0.018), E/e' (p=0.022), and Ed/Ea (p=0.016) between patients with and without all-cause mortality. When cutoff points for mortality by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were examined, the area under the curve in LA volume index (0.564) was slightly smaller than that in age (0.734), NT-proBNP level (0.732), E/e' (0.695), and Ed/Ea (0.709). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis clearly showed that age >85 years (p<0.001), NT-proBNP level >888 pg/mL (p=0.003), E/e' >14.4 (p=0.020), and Ed/Ea >0.153 (p<0.001) were determinant factors for mortality. Cox hazard ratios were also significant in these indices (p=0.002, p=0.012, p=0.028, and p=0.001, respectively). In the case of all-cause mortality or admission for cardiac events, the results were nearly similar as those in the case of all-cause mortality. Ed/Ea exhibited a larger Cox hazard ratio for prognosis than E/e' in the multivariate analysis.
Conclusions
LA pressure overload compared to volume overload was a useful marker for prognosis in elderly patients with HFpEF. As a single index for LA pressure overload in noninvasive echocardiographic findings, Ed/Ea may be more suitable than E/e'.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Plasma volume (PV) expansion has an essential role in heart failure (HF). PV can be estimated by a simple formula using hematocrit and body weight, and PV status (PVS) provides prognostic information in patients (pts) with chronic HF. Nutritional status (NS) based on the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and NS change during hospitalization have been shown to predict prognosis in pts admitted with acute decompensated HF (ADHF).
Purpose
We sought to assess the hypothesis that PVS is associated with NS change during hospitalization in pts with HF with preserved LVEF (HFpEF) who are admitted with ADHF.
Methods
We prospectively studied 411 pts who were admitted for ADHF with LVEF ≥50% and survived to discharge. Body weight measurement and venous blood sampling were performed on admission and at discharge. PVS was defined as follows: actual PV = (1 − hematocrit) × [a + (b × body weight)] (a=1530 in males and a=864 in females, b=41.0 in males and b=47.9 in females); ideal PV = c × body weight (c=39 in males and c=40 in females); and PVS = [(actual PV − ideal PV)/ideal PV] × 100 (%). PNI was calculated as 10 × serum albumin (g/dL) + 0.005 × total lymphocyte count (per mm3). The pts were divided into 3 groups by PNI: normal (>38), moderate malnutrition (35–38), and severe malnutrition (<35). During admission, pts who remained in the moderate or severe malnutrition group or whose NS worsened were defined as no improvement in NS. Follow-up data was obtained in 203 cases. They were followed for up to 18 months, and the incidence of all-cause death was evaluated.
Results
On admission, PVS in the moderate (n=71, 13.3±13.9%) or severe malnutrition group (n=69, 14.8±10.8%) was significantly higher than in the normal PNI group (n=271, 5.4±10.8%, p<0.001). During hospitalization, 123 pts had no NS improvement. Admission PVS was significantly higher in pts with no NS improvement than in pts with improved NS (13.9±11.2% vs 5.9±12.8%, p<0.0001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, admission PVS was independently associated with no NS improvement during hospitalization (OR 1.06, 95% CI 1.03–1.08, p<0.0001). Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis revealed that the optimal cut-off value of admission PVS for predicting no NS improvement was 9.4% (sensitivity: 72%, specificity: 63%). The area under the curve for predicting no NS improvement using admission PVS was significantly greater than for other independent factors (Figure 1A). During the follow-up period (median 12.4 months), 68 of 203 patients had all-cause death. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the patients with no NS improvement had a significantly higher risk of all-cause death (Figure 1B).
Figure 1
Conclusions
In this multicenter study, admission PVS was shown to be associated with poor improvement in NS during hospitalization in HFpEF pts admitted for ADHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been demonstrated to be associated with poor clinical outcomes in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction.
Objective
This study aimed to elucidate the impact of the presence of atrial fibrillation (AF) on the clinical characteristics, therapeutics, and outcomes in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Methods
PURSUIT-HFpEF is a multicenter prospective observational study including patients hospitalized for acute heart failure with left ventricular ejection fraction of >50%. Patients with acute coronary syndrome or severe valvular disease were excluded.
Results
Of 486 HFpEF patients (age, 80.8±9.0 years old; male, 47%) from 24 cardiovascular centers, 199 (41%) had AF on admission. Patients with AF had lower systolic blood pressures (142±27 vs. 155±35mmHg, p<0.0001) and higher heart rates (91±29 vs. 82±26bpm, p<0.0001) than those without. There was no difference in the usage of inotropes or mechanical ventilation between the 2 groups. A higher quality of life score (EQ5D, 0.72±0.27 vs. 0.63±0.30, p=0.002) was observed at discharge in patients with than without AF. In addition, AF patients tended to demonstrate lower in-hospital mortality rates (0.5% vs. 2.4%, p=0.09) and shorter hospital stays (20.3±12.1 vs. 22.6±18.4 days, p=0.09) than those without. During a mean follow up of 360±111 days, mortality (14.1% vs. 15.3) and heart failure re-hospitalization rates (13.1% vs. 13.9%) were comparable between the 2 groups.
Conclusion
In contrast to heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction, AF on admission was not associated with poor long-term clinical outcomes among HFpEF patients. Several in-hospital outcomes were better in patients with AF than in those without.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Comorbidities strongly influence the prognosis in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Malnutrition is one of the most important comorbidities among heart failure patients. Serum cholinesterase (CHE), one of the markers of malnutrition, was reported to be a prognostic factor in patients with chronic heart failure. In addition, we previously reported prognostic significance of CHE from a single center registry data of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). The aim of this study is to conduct external validation of the prognostic role of CHE using multi-center HFpEF registry.
Methods and results
Patients data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study. PURSUIT-HFpEF study is a prospective multicenter observational study in which collaborating hospitals in Osaka recorded clinical, echocardiographic, and outcome data of patients with ADHF and preserved ejection fraction. Between June 2016 and January 2018, 381 patients were enrolled and we excluded patients without sufficient laboratory data and in-hospital death. Finally, we analyzed 204 patients with survival discharge. Laboratory data including CHE and echocardiography were obtained just before discharge. The endpoint of this study is the composite of all-cause death and worsening heart failure re-admission (cardiac event). During a follow up period of 0.92±0.37 years, 49 patients had cardiac event. CHE was significantly lower in patients with than without cardiac event (183±67 vs 223±71 U/L, p<0.0001). At multivariate Cox analysis, CHE (p=0.0020) was significantly associated with cardiac event, independently of NT-pro BNP after adjustment of age, sex, eGFR and hemoglobin. ROC curve analysis showed that AUC of CHE for the prediction of cardiac event was 0.706 (95% CI 0.638–0.768). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with low CHE (<211U/L defined by median) had a significantly greater risk of cardiac event (35% vs 13% p=0.0002).

Conclusion
Serum cholinesterase level is the useful prognostic marker for the prediction of cardiac event in patients with ADHF with preserved ejection fraction.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Malnutrition is associated with adverse prognosis in heart failure patients. However, in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), the effects of change in nutritional status during hospitalization on prognosis is unknown. Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is a widely used objective index for evaluating nutritional status. Low GNRI (<92) has moderate or severe nutritional risk and high GNRI (≥92) has no or low nutritional risk.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of change in GNRI during hospitalization on one-year mortality and the association between the value of GNRI and one-year mortality in patients with HFpEF.
Methods
We prospectively registered patients with HFpEF in PURSUIT-HFpEF registry when they were hospitalized for heart failure in 29 hospitals. Preserved ejection fraction was defined as more than 50% of left ventricular ejection fraction. Of the 486 patients who registered PURSUIT-HFpEF, 228 cases with one-year follow-up data were examined. GNRI was calculated as follows: 14.89 × serum albumin (g/dl) + 41.7 × body mass index/22.
Results
Mean age was 81±10 years and 100 patients (44%) were male. During a median [interquartile range] follow-up period of 374 [342, 400] days, 28 patients (12%) died. Mortality was significantly higher in patients with low GNRI at admission (n=65) than those with high GNRI at admission (n=163) (26% vs. 9%, log-rank P=0.011) and higher in patients with low GNRI at discharge (n=109) than those with high GNRI at discharge (n=119) (22% vs. 6%, log-rank P=0.002). Multivariate analysis with Cox proportional hazard model with patient characteristics at admission revealed that low GNRI at admission was independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio: 0.96, 95% CI: 0.93–0.99, P=0.035) and that with patient characteristics at discharge revealed that low GNRI at discharge was independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.91–0.97, P<0.001). We also compared mortality by dividing patients into 4 group according to whether GNRI was high or low at the time of admission and discharge. Patients with low GNRI at admission and at discharge (n=59) exhibited the highest mortality, on the other hand, patients with high GNRI at admission and low GNRI at discharge (n=50) exhibited higher mortality than those with high GNRI both at admission and at discharge (n=113) (Low and low: 28% vs. High and low: 14% vs. High and high: 6% vs. Low and high: 0%, log-rank P=0.010).
All cause mortality
Conclusion
GNRI at admission or at discharge was independently associated with one-year mortality in patients with HFpEF. Moreover, worsening GNRI during hospitalization is associated with the worse prognosis. It is important to prevent lowering GNRI during treatment of acute decompensated HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Non-obstructive general angioscopy (NOGA) has revealed the intimal damages or atheromatous plaques as well as its spontaneous rupture of the aorta. Recent study revealed that plaque debris or different size of cholesterol crystals were detected in the blood above the spontaneous ruptured aortic plaque observed by NOGA and these plaque materials might cause the peripheral organ damages as the embolic source. These various morphological changes may cause the acute aortic events or atheroembolic events on the peripheral organs, such as brain, kidney, peripheral artery and so on.
Purpose
EAST-NOGA (Evaluation of AtheroSclerotic and rupture events by Non-Obstructive General Angioscopy) is a multi-center prospective observational study to assess the relationship between the findings of NOGA and future cardiovascular events.
Methods
Five hundred and seventy-seven patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease who underwent NOGA study. The major cerebrocardiovascular events including cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal cerebral infarction, and acute aortic syndrome were accumulated during the 2-year follow-up after NOGA study.
Results
The median number of aortic atheromatous plaques was 6 [IQR: 3–12]. A total of 514 patients were followed up (89.1%). The mean follow-up duration was 757±120 days. Major adverse cardiovascular events developed in 23 (4.5%) during 2 years follow-up. Patients with MACE and cerebral infarction, had significantly greater number of aortic atheromatous plaques (11 [5–19] vs. 6 [3–11], p<0.001, 12 [4–20] vs. 6 [3–12], p=0.014, respectively). In a univariate analysis, the number of aortic atheromatous plaques and ruptured plaque were significant predictors of MACE (HR: 1.09 95% confidence interval 1.05–1.14, p<0.001) and (HR: 1.12, 95% confidence interval 1.02–1.23, p=0.02). In a multivariate logistic analysis, the number of aortic atheromatous plaques is one of the independent predictors of MACE (HR 1.05, 95% confidence interval 1.00–1.10, p=0.032).
Conclusion
The number of atheromatous plaques identified by NOGA has a significant relation to the onset of cerebral infarction, which suggest the atheromatous plaque were vulnerable and ruptured spontaneously, then cause the aortogenic cerebral infarction. The NOGA study would be useful for predicting the futured atheroembolic events.

Abstract
Introduction Liposarcoma of the spermatic cord is a rare disease, reportedly treated with radical high orchiectomy. However, laparoscopic-assisted surgery for spermatic cord liposarcoma extending to the retroperitoneal cavity through the internal inguinal ring has not yet been reported. Case presentation A 78-year-old man had a spermatic cord tumor that extended to the retroperitoneal cavity through the internal inguinal ring and invaded the abdominal wall muscles. We performed laparoscopic-assisted surgery and successfully separated the tumor from the contiguous organs and vessels. The tumor was resected en bloc with abdominal wall muscles, and a muscular defect was repaired with a left tensor fascia lata muscle flap. Pathological analysis revealed a well-differentiated liposarcoma with negative surgical margins. There was no recurrence at 1 year post-surgery. Conclusion Laparoscopic-assisted surgery is a feasible and minimally invasive procedure for treating liposarcoma of the spermatic cord extending to the retroperitoneal cavity through the internal inguinal ring.

Abstract
Introduction The present study aims to introduce laparoscopic treatment by the interposition of polypropylene mesh for a pelvic organ prolapse in females following radical cystectomy for treating muscle‐invasive bladder carcinoma. Case presentation The patients included two women aged 77 and 79 years with symptomatic enterocele following radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion. We performed laparoscopic sacrospinous colpopexy using polypropylene and polypropylene/ePTFE composite meshes. Conclusion No recurrent prolapse occurred during 26 and 14 months of follow‐up after the operation. No severe perioperative complications were noted. This is a first report on cases of laparoscopic sacrospinous colpopexy for post‐cystectomy pelvic organ prolapse. Our procedure could be safely performed in two patients with post‐cystectomy pelvic organ prolapse.

Abstract
Introduction Only few cases of renal dysfunction in patients with situs inversus totalis have been reported. Thus, studies on kidney transplantation in patients with this condition are still limited. Case presentation We present three cases of end-stage renal disease patients with situs inversus totalis: a 30-year-old man, 21-year-old woman, and 31-year-old man. Each left living-donor kidney was transplanted in the right iliac fossa in the usual way. Because of the anatomical reversal and right external iliac vein being deep, the internal iliac vein was cut for venous anastomosis in one patient. Another one patient developed temporary congestive kidney, which was speculated to be due to poor blood flow in the renal vein. All recipients could be weaned off dialysis, with stable allograft function. Conclusion Kidney transplantation in patients with situs inversus totalis is the same as anatomical normal cases, except that attention is paid to venous anastomosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In clinically node-negative (cN0) breast cancer patients with triple negative (TN) and HER2+ disease and breast pathological complete response (breast pCR), low rates of nodal positivity after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) have been demonstrated. In these patients, the omission of surgical axillary staging has been proposed. However, this information is not routinely known preoperatively. We aimed to validate the correlation between pathologic breast response and pathologic nodal status, and evaluate the relationship between response of the breast tumor on MRI and pathologic nodal status after NAC in cN0 patients in the I-SPY2 trial.
Methods
We identified all patients with cT1-4 cN0 breast cancer prior to NAC from graduated arms of the I-SPY2 trial, a prospective neoadjuvant chemotherapy trial. Absence of residual disease post-NAC was defined as longest diameter (LD) of 0 mm on MRI. Breast pCR was defined as the absence of invasive tumor in the breast at surgery. Associations between ypN0 and patient, MRI, and tumor characteristics were assessed using chi-square tests and univariate regression.
Results
Of 365 cT1-4 cN0 patients included, 128 had HR+/HER2- tumors (35%), 60 HR+/HER2+ tumors (16%), 34 HR-/HER2+ tumors (9%) and 143 TN tumors (39%). Overall, 283 patients (78%) were ypN0 after NAC and 152 patients (42%) had a breast pCR. ypN0 rate was higher in patients with a breast pCR than those with residual disease (93% vs 66%, p<0.001). Patients with HR-/HER2+ and TN tumors were more likely to be ypN0 (97% and 87% respectively) than patients with HR+/HER2- and HR+/HER2+ disease (66% and 71% respectively, p<0.001). Other characteristics associated with ypN0 were tumor grade (grade I 57%, grade II 66%, grade III 84%; p=0.002), MammaPrint Classification (High Risk 1 68% and High Risk 2 87%; p<0.001) and absence of residual tumor in the breast on MRI (87% vs 72% in patients with evidence of tumor on MRI post-NAC/pre-surgery; p=0.003).
In patients with HR-/HER2+, HR+/HER2+, HR-/HER2+ or TN disease and a breast pCR, ypN0 rate was respectively 82%, 96%, 96% and 97% (table 1). In patients with HR+/HER2-, HR+/HER2+, HR-/HER2+ or TN disease and with no evidence of residual disease in the breast on MRI, rate of ypN0 was 71%, 80%, 94% and 96% respectively.
Conclusion
In cT1-4 cN0 breast cancer patients with HR+/HER2+, HR-/HER2+ and TN tumors and a breast pCR, ypN0 rates after NAC are extremely high. In patients with HR-/HER2+ and TN tumors with no residual breast disease on MRI after NAC and pre-surgery, ypN0 rates are high enough to consider omission of axillary surgery. In patients with HR+ tumors, MRI is unsufficiently predictive for pathological response and can therefore not be used to select ypN0 patients. Research on the prediction of ypN0 in cN+ I-SPY2 patients is ongoing.
