Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to demonstrate the spatial pattern of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tear development and progression after antivascular endothelial growth factor therapy for neovascular age-related macular degeneration. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed six eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration that showed RPE tears after administration of intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor agents and were followed up for 12 months. The patterns of RPE tear development and progression were evaluated by analyzing positional relationships among the locations of the choroidal neovascularization membrane and pigment epithelial detachment (PED) area at baseline and the tear area using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, color photography, fluorescein angiography, and fundus autofluorescence images. RESULTS Pretear OCT images revealed fibrovascular PED in all eyes, one of which showed complications of hemorrhagic PED after treatment. In five eyes, RPE tears developed at the PED edge located on the opposite side of the choroidal neovascularization membrane. In the eye showing hemorrhagic PED, the RPE tear developed along the wide area of the PED edge. The torn RPE monolayer contracted toward the side of the choroidal neovascularization membrane in all eyes, and RPE loss involved the fovea in five eyes that showed significantly worse visual acuity (VA) after 12 months in comparison with the baseline value before the tear (logMAR VA; 0.3 vs. 1.29; P < 0.02). CONCLUSION The location of choroidal neovascularization membrane in PED determines the spatial pattern of RPE tear development and progression and helps to predict the visual outcome after RPE tears.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION A novel electroporation method for genome editing was performed using plant tissue samples by direct RNPs-introduction in carnation. Genome editing is becoming a very useful tool in plant breeding. In this study, a novel electroporation method was performed for genome editing using plant tissue samples. The objective was to create a flower color mutant using the pink-flowered carnation 'Kane Ainou 1-go'. For this purpose, a ribonucleoprotein consisting of guide RNA and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (Cas9) was introduced into the stem tissue to induce mutations in the anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) gene, which is involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis. As the ANS of 'Kane Ainou 1-go' has not been previously isolated, we initially isolated the ANS gene from 'Kane Ainou 1-go' for characterization. Southern hybridization analysis confirmed that the ANS gene was present in the genome as a two-allele gene with a pair of homologous sequences (ANS-1 and 2); these sequences were used as the target for genome editing. Genome editing was performed by introducing #2_single-guide RNA into the stem tissue using the ribonucleoprotein. This molecule was used because it exhibited the highest efficiency in an analysis of cleavage activity against the target sequence in vitro. Cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence analysis of genomic DNA extracted from 85 regenerated individuals after genome editing was performed. The results indicated that mutations in the ANS gene may have been introduced into two lines. Cloning of the ANS gene in these two lines confirmed the introduction of a single nucleotide substitution mutation for ANS-1 in both lines, and a single amino acid substitution in one line. We discussed the possibility of color change by the amino acid substitution, and also the future applications of this technology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Although diet is one of the potential environmental factors affecting ulcerative colitis (UC), evidence is not sufficient to draw definitive conclusions. This Japanese case-control study examined the association between the consumption of coffee, other caffeine-containing beverages and food, and total caffeine and the risk of UC. METHODS The study involved 384 UC cases and 665 control subjects. Intake of coffee, decaffeinated coffee, black tea, green tea, oolong tea, carbonated soft drinks, and chocolate snacks was measured with a semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire. Adjustments were made for sex, age, pack-years of smoking, alcohol consumption, history of appendicitis, family history of UC, education level, body mass index, and intake of vitamin C, retinol, and total energy. RESULTS Higher consumption of coffee and carbonated soft drinks was associated with a reduced risk of UC with a significant dose-response relationship (P for trend for coffee and carbonated soft drinks were <0.0001 and 0.01, respectively), whereas higher consumption of chocolate snacks was significantly associated with an increased risk of UC. No association was observed between consumption of decaffeinated coffee, black tea, green tea, or oolong tea and the risk of UC. Total caffeine intake was inversely associated with the risk of UC; the adjusted odds ratio between extreme quartiles was 0.44 (95% confidence interval: 0.29-0.67; P for trend <0.0001). CONCLUSIONS We confirmed that intake of coffee and caffeine is also associated with a reduced risk of UC in Japan where people consume relatively low quantities of coffee compared with Western countries.

Abstract
PURPOSE Removing transparent vitreous tissues, such as a residual vitreous cortex (VC) or proliferative membrane, without damaging the retina is often problematic in vitrectomy. We examined the feasibility of an injectable in situ cross-linking hyaluronan hydrogel (XL-HA) for vitrectomy. STUDY DESIGN Experiments using ex vivo and in vivo animal models. METHODS HA-dibenzocyclooctyne and HA-azidoethylamine solutions were mixed to form XL-HA, which then gradually formed a hydrogel. We tested the function of XL-HA in ex vivo porcine eyes. We then examined the performance of XL-HA in in vivo rabbit models of posterior vitreous detachment, posterior VC removal, and proliferative vitreoretinopathy. RESULTS The ex vivo study showed that XL-HA rapidly embedded triamcinolone acetonide, mimicking VC attached to the retina, and became hard enough to be pinched with tweezers within 3 minutes, allowing us to remove only the triamcinolone acetonide without impairing the internal limiting membrane. In the in vivo rabbit models, XL-HA injection improved posterior vitreous detachment, and the thin and fragile posterior VC or fibrous proliferative membrane was readily peeled off without any damage to the underlying retina as compared with untreated controls. A short-term intraocular biocompatibility test demonstrated that the intraocular pressure remained normal with XL-HA injected into the eye. In addition, transmission electron microscopy showed no obvious abnormalities in the cornea or in the inner and outer retina. CONCLUSION The results indicate that XL-HA is a potential adjunctive device to help make vitrectomy safe, effective, and successful.

Abstract
Ophthalmologists have used hyaluronan (HA) products as adjuncts to ocular surgery since the 1970s. However, HA products are not always functional in surgeries of the posterior eye segment due to their lack of biomechanical strength. In this study, we developed an in situ crosslinked HA (XL-HA) and evaluated its potential as an adjunct to vitrectomy surgery in an in vitro model with a triamcinolone acetonide (TA) layer used as a pseudo residual vitreous cortex (RVC). Within a few minutes at concentrations over 0.9%, XL-HA, generated by the click chemistry of HA-dibenzocyclooctyne and HA-azidoethylamine, formed a hydrogel with the appropriate hardness for tweezers peeling. XL-HA (concentration, 0.76-1.73%) without dispersion successfully entered the TA layer and removed more than 45% of the total TA. Dynamic viscoelasticity helps to explain the rheological behavior of hydrogels, and the assessment results for XL-HA indicated that suitable concentrations were between 0.97% and 1.30%. For example, 1.30% XL-HA hydrogel reached sufficient hardness at 3 min for tweezers peeling, and the TA removal ability exceeded 70%. These results demonstrated that XL-HA was a potential adjunct to successful vitrectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The purpose of this analysis was to report subset analysis as to progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of particle-beam radiation therapy for operable early-stage lung cancer. MATERIALS/METHODS Patients of early-stage lung cancer (T1-T2aN0) who were eligible for radical surgery but did not wish to undergo surgery were treated by proton-ion (PT) or carbon-ion (CT) radiation therapy and enrolled in Japanese prospective registry. In this analysis, PFS and OS by clinical stage, tumor location, pathological confirmation and particle-ion type were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 274 patients were enrolled and included in efficacy and safety analyses. Most tumors were adenocarcinoma (44%), and 105 (38%) were not histologically confirmed and diagnosed clinically. 250 (91%) of 274 patients had tumors that were peripherally situated. 138 (50%) and 136 (50%) patients were treated by PT and CT, respectively. The median follow-up time for all censored patients was 42.8 months (IQR 36.7 - 49.0). No grade 3 or severe treatment-related toxicity was observed. 3-year PFS was 81% (95% CI;76-86) and OS was 93% (95% CI;89-96), respectively. As to particle-ion type, 3-year PFS were 79.0% and 81.9% in PT and CT (p = 0.19), and 3-year OS were 93.9% and 91.1% in PT and CT (P = 0.72), respectively. For PFS, pathological confirmation, clinical stage was significant factors but there were no significant differences by tumor location or particle-ion type; for OS, clinical stage was significant factor but there was no significant difference on pathological confirmation, tumor location or particle-ion type (Table1). Table 1. 3-year PFS and OS CONCLUSION: Particle therapy for operable early-stage lung cancer resulted in excellent 3-year OS and PFS on each subset.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Presenteeism is affected by work-related and individual factors. Among individual factors, the effect of combining various lifestyle habits on presenteeism is unknown. AIMS This study aimed to determine the relationship between changes in multiple good lifestyle habits with a change in presenteeism and to examine the effect of psychological factors on this relationship. METHODS We performed a 1-year retrospective cohort study on employees of large Japanese companies. Data were collected from health check-ups and a self-administered questionnaire. Changes in presenteeism were measured using the Quality and Quantity method. Changes in lifestyle habits were measured using a modified form of Breslow's seven health practices. Psychological factors were measured using the Kessler 6-Item Psychological Distress Scale. Linear regression was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS The number of practised lifestyle habit changes was negatively correlated with a change in presenteeism. This result was consistent when adjusted for age, sex and company (B, -0.010; P < 0.05), but became non-significant when additionally adjusted for psychological distress (B, -0.006). When analysed separately, only an improvement in the body mass index (B, -0.054; P < 0.05) and a worsened sleep habit (B, 0.040; P < 0.01) influenced a change in presenteeism. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that improving various practised lifestyle habits in combination, rather than improving a single lifestyle habit, is beneficial in reducing presenteeism. Our finding that psychological distress altered the relationship of practised lifestyle habit changes with presenteeism indicates the importance of organizational-level intervention in presenteeism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy is the first choice of treatment for eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD), it sometimes results in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears. This study presents the detailed clinical characteristics of RPE tears to help predict their occurrence before anti-VEGF therapy initiation. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) patients who visited the Kyushu University Hospital and started anti-VEGF therapy between April 2013 and June 2020. Using medical records, we collected the clinical data of patients with RPE tears, including age, sex, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), number of anti-VEGF drug injections and the type and size of pigment epithelial detachment (PED). RESULTS RPE tears occurred in 16 (1.50%) eyes of 16 patients in all 1068 nAMD eyes of 987 patients. The mean age of these patients with RPE tear was 81.7 ± 8.7 years. Fifteen eyes had typical AMD and one eye had polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy. The mean number of anti-VEGF drug injections before RPE tears was 5.0 ± 5.1. All patients experienced PED before the RPE tear (hemorrhagic, 4 eyes; serous vascular, 2 eyes; fibrovascular, 10 eyes). The average PED height and area were 615.7 ± 175.3 μm and 21.0 ± 7.2 mm2, respectively. The sub-RPE cleft was observed in 10 eyes. The logMAR BCVA immediately after the RPE tear (0.73 ± 0.40) at 6 months (0.86 ± 0.51) and 12 months (0.84 ± 0.43) after the RPE tear were significantly worse than that before the RPE tear (0.58 ± 0.31; p < 0.05). The BCVA of patients with RPE tears that spread to the fovea was poorer than that of patients without RPE tears. CONCLUSIONS In patients with nAMD, RPE tears tended to occur in typical AMD eyes with high or large PEDs, and sub-RPE clefts. The visual prognosis depended on whether the RPE tear included the fovea.

Abstract
Background Retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) play vital role in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Our laboratory has shown that RPE cellular senescence contributed to the pathophysiology of experimental AMD, and SASP members are involved in this process. Recently, we presented confirmatory evidence to earlier GWAS studies that dysregulation of tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 10A (TNFRSF10A) dysregulation leads to AMD development and is linked to RPE dysfunction. This study aims to investigate the contribution of RPE senescence to AMD pathophysiology using TNFRSF10A silenced human RPE (hRPE) cells and Tnfrsf10 KO mice. Methods Sub-confluent primary hRPE cells and TNFRSF10A silenced hRPE were exposed to stress-induced premature senescence with H2O2 (500 μM, 48h), and senescence-associated markers (βgal, p16, and p21) were analyzed by RT-PCR and WB analysis. The effect of H2O2-induced senescence in non-silenced and silenced hRPE on OXPHOS and glycolysis was determined using Seahorse XF96 analyzer. Male C57BL/6J Tnfrsf10 KO ( Tnfrsf10 -/- ) mice were used to study the regulation of senescence by TNFRSF10A in vivo . Expression of p16 and p21 in control and KO mice of varying ages were determined by RT-PCR, WB, and immunostaining analysis. Results The senescence-associated p16 and p21 showed a significant ( p < 0.01) upregulation with H2O2 induction at the gene (1.8- and 3-fold) and protein (3.2- and 4-fold) levels in hRPE cells. The protein expression of p16 and p21 was further significantly increased by co-treatment with siRNA ( p < 0.05 vs. H2O2). Mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate (OCR) and extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) (pmol/min/total DNA) increased with senescence induction by H2O2 for 48h in control RPE, and knockdown of TNFRSF10A caused a further increase in OCR and ECAR. In addition, co-treatment with PKC activator significantly improved all parameters. Similarly, in vivo studies showed upregulation of p16 and p21 by RT-PCR, WB, and immunostaining analysis in RPE/choroid of Tnfrsf10 KO mice. When subjected to examination across distinct age groups, namely young (1-3 months), middle (6-9 months), and old (12-15 months) mice, a discernible age-related elevation in the expression of p16 and p21 was observed. Conclusions Our findings suggest that TNRSF10A is a regulator of regulates in RPE senescence. Further work on elucidating pathways of senescence will facilitate the development of new therapeutic targets for AMD.

Abstract
Purpose Intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents reduces microaneurysms in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). However, residual anti-VEGF-resistant telangiectatic capillaries (TelCaps) have been reported. In this study, we investigated changes in the size of TelCaps after intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents in DME. Patients and Methods Indocyanine green angiography (IA) and optical coherence tomography were performed before and 3 months after the intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents (pro re nata regimen after three monthly loading doses) in 12 eyes of 12 patients (7 males and 5 females, mean age 65.2 ± 8.8 years) with DME. The number and size of TelCaps within a 6-mm diameter macular region of the edema were measured using optical coherence tomography B-scan images overlaid on IA images. Results There were significant reductions in the number and size of TelCaps between the baseline and 3 months after anti-VEGF agent administration (P < 0.05 and P < 0.0001, respectively). The maximum corrected visual acuity (logMAR visual acuity) and the central macular thickness after anti-VEGF therapy were significantly improved (P < 0.01 and P < 0.02, respectively). The TelCaps remaining after loading three consecutive anti-VEGF agents had a significantly larger mean size at baseline than the TelCaps that resolved after the treatment (P < 0.03). Conclusion Our study demonstrated that intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents could reduce TelCap size in patients with DME. We propose that larger-sized TelCaps detected by IA might be useful predictors of refractory DME, which could thus be principal targets of laser photocoagulation.

Abstract
Purpose Detecting subtle vitreoretinal interface (VRI) findings, such as a posterior hyaloid membrane, is difficult with conventional retinal imaging. We compared ultra-high-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (UHR-SD-OCT) with standard-resolution OCT (SD-OCT) for the imaging of VRI abnormalities in diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods This prospective cross-sectional study included 113 consecutive patients (91 patients with diabetes and 22 healthy controls). The VRI was evaluated, and the results were compared between the conventional SD-OCT and UHR-SD-OCT images. VRI findings were also investigated before and after internal limiting membrane peeling during vitrectomy for proliferative DR. Results A total of 159 eyes (87.4%) of 91 patients with diabetes were analyzed. UHR-SD-OCT could detect a hyperreflective layer at the VRI, in which en face OCT showed a membrane-like structure, termed the hyperreflective membrane (HRMe). The preoperative HRMe could not be detected in all patients with proliferative DR who underwent internal limiting membrane peeling during vitrectomy. Although the HRMe did not correlate with the DR stage, eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) (64.5%) showed a significant HRMe with UHR-SD-OCT more frequently than those without DME (35.8%) (P = 0.005). Conclusions UHR-SD-OCT can detect the HRMe at the VRI in DR eyes, particularly in eyes with DME. The HRMe may present a thickened posterior hyaloid membrane that contributes to DME development. Translational Relevance UHR-SD-OCT detects slight changes in the VRI in DR eyes. In the future, it may help to elucidate the mechanism of DME formation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Drusen and pigmentary abnormality are found as the hallmark to predict progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In Asian populations, exudative AMD often appears in the absence of drusen but is rather accompanied by pigmentary abnormality. Recently, shallow irregular retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) elevations (SIRE) have been shown as a sign of subclinical nonexudative macular neovascularization. In this study, we aimed to investigate the characteristics of optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings including SIRE before the appearance of exudative AMD. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 32 cases of exudative AMD that occurred in the fellow eye within the 5-year-observation period. Color fundus photography, OCT, and fluorescein/indocyanine-green angiography at the beginning of observation and at the time when exudative AMD appeared were examined to diagnose SIRE and the subtype of exudative AMD. RESULTS Exudative AMD was found in 19 eyes with large drusen and 13 eyes without large drusen. Mean sub-foveal choroidal thickness without large drusen was significantly thicker than that with large drusen (336 ± 109 and 220 ± 96 μm, respectively; mean ± SD). Six eyes with pachychoroid neovasculopathy, 4 eyes with type 1 macular neovascularization, and 3 eyes with PCV had occurred in the fellow eye without large drusen. Among those, 6 eyes had been accompanied by SIRE with a greatest transverse linear dimension of 1 mm or more at the beginning of observation period. Besides, small RPE elevations with a longest diameter of less than 1 mm had been observed in other 5 eyes. Three cases of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy had originated from small RPE elevations. Moreover, pachyvessels, choriocapillaris thinning, or choroidal hyperpermeability were observed with SIRE or small RPE elevations. CONCLUSIONS There is a non-drusen type of exudative AMD that originates from small RPE elevations as well as SIRE.

Abstract
BackgroundRapid radiographic progression (RRP) was reported to be one of clinical symptom in difficult to treat RA(D2T RA) (1). Eular recommendation for imaging showed BME is strong and independent prognostic factor for bone destruction(2). We reported bone marrow edema (BME) in MRI image was most associated with RRP compared with bone erosion, synovitis in Adalimumab add-on therapy in MTX-IR RA patients(3). To rescue RRP, early detection of BME is important although cost of MRI is expensive and hard to repeat.ObjectivesTo investigate the score of BME in hand X ray film by deep learning between X ray film and MRI BME information can discriminate the differences between BME and non-BME images.MethodsIn this work, we use a neural network consisted of convolutional layers and fully connected layers to classify X-ray images (Figure 1) In this paper, the output is the socre of BME which ranges from 0 to1(threshold = 0.4). We also used an interpretation technique called the Grad-CAM for visual explanations. Hand MRI (1.5T) were used.Figure 1.The convolutional neural network design. A red block “Conv” means a convolutional block. It contains a 2D convolution layer, a leaky relu activation function, a maxpooling layer and a batch normalization layer. The numbers above each “Conv” block are (kernal size, kernal size, kernal number). A green block “FC” is a fully connection layer. The number above it is (neuron number). After the last Softmax layer, the output becomes the probability of BME which ranges from 0 to 1.ResultsRegarding data split, 104 images including 79 non-BME images and 25 BME images are used as a hold-out test set. The rest of the images (473 images) are used as training data and validation data. Five fold cross-validation is used for these 473images. For each fold, there are about 378 images including 297 non-BME images and 81 BME images in the training set. There are about 95 images including 74 non-BME images and 21 BME images in the validation set. In order to fully utilize every image and unify the distribution of the training set and the validation set, the ratio of non-BME and BME is controlled to be the same which is about 3.66:1. The five folds showed similar performance on the hold-out test set. AUC is the area under the ROC curve. As the result, AUC which indicates the general performance of this model, ranged from 0.88 to 0.91. The average precision was 63% and the average recall rate was 87%. In this experiment, the initialization seed will greatly influence the final result. For example, AUC can be reduced to 0.73 from 0.89 because of a different initialization seed. It perhaps results from the shortage of data, which can easily make the neural network drop into a local minimum.We also utilized Grad-cam to visualize the result. The result of Grad-cam shows the importance of each part to the final prediction(Figure 2).Figure 2.Result of Grad-cam. Numbers in the parenthesises are the possibilities of BME. The middle case is unexpected because red region is the surrounding of the hand. The left and right cases may indicate the evidence for prediction.ConclusionThe preliminary result is much better than a random guess. According to this result, there should be a certain difference between BME and non-BME images. If it’s the characteristic of BME that domains this difference, our classification algorithm will be feasible for BME. Our future work is to justify the evidence of the predictions and improve performance.References[1]Nagy G et al. Eular definition of difficult- to - treat to rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract
Bullous retinal detachment is a rare complication in the chronic phase of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). Only a small subset of eyes with chronic CSC develops into the bullous variant of CSC (bCSC). In patients with bCSC, the elevated concentration of fibrin in the subretinal space leads to persistent retinal detachment and eventually, severe vision loss. We experienced a case of unilateral bCSC with a massive accumulation of subretinal fibrin. Multiple leakage points and dilated choroidal veins were also observed. The patient underwent surgical removal of subretinal fibrin and silicone oil injection followed by photodynamic therapy (PDT). After this treatment, the retina was successfully reattached, and the affected eye was free from recurrent exudative changes for more than 18 months. Massive subretinal fibrin could be surgically removed to prevent the formation of subretinal fibrosis and retinal fold, and PDT under silicone oil can control the underlying exudative changes in bCSC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The interleukin (IL)-23/Th17 pathway plays a critical role in ulcerative colitis (UC). The IL-12p40 subunit, which is shared by IL-23 and IL-12, is encoded by the IL12B gene. The current case-control study investigated the association between IL12B SNP rs6887695 and the UC risk. METHODS There were 384 cases within 4 years of UC diagnosis and 661 controls who were enrolled. Adjustments were made for sex, age, pack-years of smoking, alcohol consumption, history of appendicitis, family history of UC, education level, and body mass index. RESULTS Subjects with the GG IL12B SNP rs6887695 genotype had a significantly increased risk of UC compared with those with the CC genotype (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.60; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08-2.36). This positive association was also significant using the additive and recessive models (AOR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.03-1.52; AOR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.08-2.09, respectively). An independent inverse relationship was observed between ever alcohol consumption and the UC risk in those with the CC genotype while no significant association was found in those with at least one G allele (P for interaction = 0.0008). CONCLUSIONS IL12B SNP rs6887695 was significantly associated with UC. The influence of alcohol consumption might rely on rs6887695.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The presence of depressive symptoms in patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is an important research topic; however, the prevalence of depressive symptoms and the factors that influence their development are unclear.OBJECTIVE: To analyse the association between CES-D (Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale) scores and clinical parameters such as age, disease duration, pulmonary function, imaging findings, blood data, physical functions, sleep disturbances, respiratory symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQOL).METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional retrospective study of 114 patients with NTM-PD at a single centre from March 2016 to January 2021 to evaluate the relationship between CES-D scores and clinical parameters.RESULTS: Participants had a median age of 64 years; 32.5% of them had depressive symptoms. Disease duration, albumin, C-reactive protein, pulmonary function, dyspnoea, exercise capacity, respiratory symptoms, cough-related HRQOL and sleep disturbances were associated with depressive symptoms. Binomial logistic regression analyses indicated that the CES-D score was significantly associated with cough-related HRQOL and sleep disturbances.CONCLUSION: A high percentage of NTM-PD patients in this study experienced depressive symptoms, and these patients had abnormalities of various clinical parameters. Cough-related HRQOL and sleep disturbance had a strong influence on the development of depressive symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Although an inverse relationship between current smoking and the development of ulcerative colitis (UC) has been shown in North America and Europe, evidence is limited in Asian countries, where the incidence of UC is rapidly increasing. This Japanese case-control study examined the association between active and passive smoking and risk of UC. METHODS A self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on smoking and potential confounding factors in 384 cases with a diagnosis of UC within the past 4 years and 665 controls. RESULTS Compared with having never smoked, having ever smoked was associated with an increased risk of UC (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.70, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.23-2.37). No association was observed between current smoking and risk of UC, but former smokers had a significant elevation in risk (adjusted OR = 2.40, 95% CI: 1.67-3.45). There was a positive dose-response relationship with pack-years smoked (P for trend = 0.006). Among never smokers, passive smoking exposure at home was significantly associated with an increased risk of UC (adjusted OR = 1.90, 95% CI: 1.30-2.79). A significant dose-response gradient was also observed between pack-years of passive smoking at home and risk of UC (P for trend = 0.0003). CONCLUSIONS We confirmed that former smoking elevated the risk of UC, whereas an inverse association between current smoking and the risk of UC did not reach a statistically significant level. Passive smoking may be associated with an increased risk of UC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the factors associated with epiretinal membrane (ERM) formation in eyes treated with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). DESIGN Nationwide, multicenter, clinical cohort study based on registry data. METHODS We reviewed 2239 cases treated with PPV for RRD repair registered in the Japan-Retinal Detachment Registry between February 2016 and March 2017. Associations of 13 baseline characteristics and 8 surgical procedures with ERM formation were evaluated using univariate analysis. We conducted a propensity score-matched analysis for the significantly associated clinical factor(s). The primary outcome measure was ERM formation after 6 months of vitrectomy. RESULTS ERM had developed in 104 cases (4.6%) by 6 months. We found that drainage retinotomy was significantly associated with ERM after multiple testing correction (odds ratio [OR] 2.22 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.50-3.31]; P < .001). In the propensity score-matched analysis (n = 492 in each group), we confirmed a significant difference in the incidence of ERM after 6 months of vitrectomy (8.3% and 2.6% in cases with and without drainage retinotomy, respectively; OR 3.35 [95% CI 1.77-6.33]; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Eyes treated with PPV combined with drainage retinotomy are more likely to develop ERM postoperatively.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the one-year outcomes of photodynamic therapy (PDT) as a rescue treatment for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) refractory to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. METHODS Patients with AMD refractory to anti-VEGF therapy, treated with "rescue-PDT" were retrospectively investigated. The time of PDT was defined as the baseline value. Baseline characteristics including sex, age, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central macular thickness (CMT), and foveal choroidal thickness (FCT) were examined. The changes in BCVA, CMT, and recurrence were also assessed at the 1-year follow-up. The logMAR VA change of 0.3 or more was defined as "improved" or "declined." RESULTS Twenty-three consecutive eyes (typical AMD: 10 eyes, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy: 10 eyes, and pachychoroid neovasculopathy: 3 eyes), which underwent "rescue-PDT," were analyzed in this study. The BCVA was improved in three patients and maintained in 20 patients at 12 months after PDT (mean BCVA change: 0.11 ± 0.19). The CMT improved in 19 patients (82.6%), and the mean CMT changed from 318.5 ± 93.7 μm to 225.9 ± 51.6 μm (p < 0.01) 12 months after PDT. "Retreatment" of anti-VEGF drug injections was considered if the retinal fluid or retinal hemorrhage recurred after PDT. The baseline FCT of the "retreatment group (15 eyes)" was significantly lower than that of the "no retreatment group (8 eyes)" (206.3 ± 50.7 μm vs 293.9 ± 85.7 μm: p = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS PDT could be an effective treatment option for anti-VEGF refractory AMD to maintain visual acuity and control retinal fluid for up to 12 months.

Abstract
Drusen are known to be the important hallmark to predict the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The prevalence of drusen is lower in Asians compared with Caucasians so that the role of signs constituting early AMD is not well established in Asian populations as in Western countries. In this study, we retrospectively investigated clinical characteristics and 5-year incidence of neovascular AMD (nAMD) in the fellow eye of unilateral nAMD patients. Of 296 consecutive unilateral nAMD patients who had been followed up more than 5 years, 170 typical AMD, 119 polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, and 7 retinal angiomatous proliferation were included. To examine factors associated with nAMD occurrence in the fellow eye, drusen and pigmentary abnormality in the fellow eye were classified into 4 categories; Category 1: no or small drusen < 63 μm (37.2%), Category 2: 63–125 μm medium drusen or pigmentary abnormality (22.2%), Category 3: large drusen > 125 μm (25.0%), Category P: pachydrusen (15.5%). The mean sub-foveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) was Category 1: 276 μm, Category 2: 308 μm, Category 3: 246 μm, and Category P: 302 μm, respectively. Of note, SFCT in Category 2 and Category P was significantly larger than those of Category 3. Finally, the 5-year incidence of nAMD in the fellow eye was 32/296 (10.8%); Category 1: 0/110 (0%), Category 2: 12/66 (18.2%), Category 3: 20/74 (27.0%), and Category P: 0/46 (0%). Thus, signs of intermediate AMD (large drusen) as well as those of early AMD, especially the pigmentary abnormality, may contribute to development of bilateral nAMD in Japanese patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress is considered one of the etiologic factors involved in ulcerative colitis (UC), yet there is limited epidemiologic information regarding the relationship between antioxidant intake and the risk of UC. The aim of the present case-control study in Japan was to examine the association between intake of green and yellow vegetables, other vegetables, fruit, vitamin C, vitamin E, retinol, alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, and cryptoxanthin and UC risk. METHODS A total of 384 cases within 4 y of diagnosis with UC and 665 controls were included in the study. Data on dietary intake and confounders were obtained using a self-reported questionnaire. Information on dietary factors was collected using a 169-item semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire. Adjustment was made for sex, age, pack-y of smoking, alcohol consumption, history of appendicitis, family history of UC, education level, and body mass index. RESULTS Higher intake levels of other vegetables, vitamin C, and retinol were independently associated with a reduced risk of UC. The adjusted odds ratio between extreme quartiles was 0.51 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.34-0.76; P for trend ≤ 0.001) for other vegetables, 0.45 (95% CI, 0.30-0.69, P for trend ≤ 0.001) for vitamin C, and 0.64 (95% CI, 0.43-0.95, P for trend = 0.04) for retinol. There were no associations between intake of green and yellow vegetables, fruit, vitamin E, alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, or cryptoxanthin and UC risk (P for trend = 0.29, 0.56, 0.89, 0.20, 0.69, and 0.22, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Intake of other vegetables, vitamin C, and retinol was inversely associated with UC risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown a reduction in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). However, the causes of this decline and the factors that contribute to it are unknown. This study was conducted to analyse the association between the St George´s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and clinical parameters, including age, disease duration, body composition, pulmonary function, chest X-ray findings, blood data and physical function.METHODS: We performed a single-centre, cross-sectional, retrospective study of 101 patients with NTM-PD from December 2016 to October 2019. The relationship between the SGRQ scores and clinical parameters was evaluated.RESULTS: The median patient age was 67.0 years. Pulmonary function, radiological score, albumin levels, C-reactive protein levels and incremental shuttle walk test distance (ISWD) were significantly correlated with the total and component scores on the SGRQ. Multiple regression analysis showed that the SGRQ score was significantly associated with radiological score, pulmonary function and ISWD.CONCLUSION: This study was the first to assess the effect of clinical parameters on the SGRQ in patients with NTM-PD. HRQoL as determined using the SGRQ was associated with the radiological score, pulmonary function and ISWD in patients with NTM-PD.
