Abstract
We report on the first search for nuclear recoils from dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with the XENONnT experiment, which is based on a two-phase time projection chamber with a sensitive liquid xenon mass of 5.9 ton. During the (1.09±0.03) ton yr exposure used for this search, the intrinsic ^{85}Kr and ^{222}Rn concentrations in the liquid target are reduced to unprecedentedly low levels, giving an electronic recoil background rate of (15.8±1.3) events/ton yr keV in the region of interest. A blind analysis of nuclear recoil events with energies between 3.3 and 60.5 keV finds no significant excess. This leads to a minimum upper limit on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon cross section of 2.58×10^{-47} cm^{2} for a WIMP mass of 28 GeV/c^{2} at 90% confidence level. Limits for spin-dependent interactions are also provided. Both the limit and the sensitivity for the full range of WIMP masses analyzed here improve on previous results obtained with the XENON1T experiment for the same exposure.

Abstract
Multiple viable theoretical models predict heavy dark matter particles with a mass close to the Planck mass, a range relatively unexplored by current experimental measurements. We use 219.4 days of data collected with the XENON1T experiment to conduct a blind search for signals from multiply interacting massive particles (MIMPs). Their unique track signature allows a targeted analysis with only 0.05 expected background events from muons. Following unblinding, we observe no signal candidate events. This Letter places strong constraints on spin-independent interactions of dark matter particles with a mass between 1×10^{12} and 2×10^{17} GeV/c^{2}. In addition, we present the first exclusion limits on spin-dependent MIMP-neutron and MIMP-proton cross sections for dark matter particles with masses close to the Planck scale.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate ethiodised oil retention of transarterial embolisation using ethiodised oil (ethiodised oil marking) before computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) according to renal cell carcinoma (RCC) subtype. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ethiodised oil marking was performed 1-3 days before PCA in 99 patients with 99 RCCs from 2016 to 2020. Ethiodised oil retention on CT images was evaluated retrospectively and CT attenuation values in the tumour were measured. Regions of interest (ROI) were placed on the tumours to calculate: average (ROI-average), maximal (ROI-max), minimum (ROI-min), and standard deviation (ROI-SD). Qualitative scores comprising a five-point scale (5, excellent; 1, poor) were evaluated for the retention scores (RS) of ethiodised oil in the tumour (ethiodised oil-RS) and the visualisation scores (VS) of the boundary between the tumour and renal parenchyma (boundary-VS). RESULTS The histological subtypes comprised clear cell (ccRCC; n=85), papillary (pRCC; n=6), and chromophobe/oncocytoma renal cell carcinoma (chrRCC; n=8). The mean ROI-average, ROI-max, and ROI-SD were significantly higher in ccRCCs than in chrRCCs and pRCCs (p<0.05). The mean ethiodised oil-RS was significantly lower in pRCCs than in ccRCCs (p=0.039), and the mean boundary-VS was >4 in all subtypes. Even with poor intratumour ethiodised oil retention (n=6), sufficient boundary-VS was obtained due to "inverted marking." All PCA procedures were completed without additional intravenous contrast material injection at the time of PCA. CONCLUSION Regardless of the tumour subtypes, ethiodised oil marking aids in visualising the boundary between the tumour and parenchyma on non-contrast CT in PCA.

Abstract
We report on a blinded analysis of low-energy electronic recoil data from the first science run of the XENONnT dark matter experiment. Novel subsystems and the increased 5.9 ton liquid xenon target reduced the background in the (1, 30) keV search region to (15.8±1.3) events/(ton×year×keV), the lowest ever achieved in a dark matter detector and ∼5 times lower than in XENON1T. With an exposure of 1.16 ton-years, we observe no excess above background and set stringent new limits on solar axions, an enhanced neutrino magnetic moment, and bosonic dark matter.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Early rehabilitation in the intensive care unit (ICU), including early mobility therapy, is known to improve the clinical outcomes in patients with critically ill. However, the effectiveness of acute-phase cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) during ICU treatment have not been thoroughly evaluated in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Purpose
We aimed to investigate the trends and outcomes of acute-phase CR in the ICU for patients with CVD, including in-hospital and long-term clinical outcomes.
Methods
We reviewed 1948 consecutive patients with CVD admitted to tertiary academic ICU at a university hospital. Patients were arbitrarily assessed by an ICU team consisting of medical and surgical doctors, nurses and physiotherapists within 24 hours after admission to ICU to discover whether their rehabilitation could be initiated according to the specific clinical trial and statement. As clinical characteristics, disease aetiology, comorbid conditions, and ICU treatment were obtained from an electronic database. We evaluated the probability of return to walking independence and return to home as in-hospital clinical outcomes. All patients were followed for five years and investigated all-cause and cardiovascular events after hospital discharge as long-term clinical outcomes. The associations between the implementation of CR during ICU treatment (ICU-CR) and clinical outcomes were evaluated using propensity score-matched analysis with adjustment for clinical characteristics in all matched patients and various subgroups, including aged >65 years, surgical patients, emergency, and length of ICU stay ≥48 hours.
Results
Out of studied patients, 1092 patients received ICU-CR, the number of which positively correlated with year-trend (r=0.986, P<0.001). After propensity score matching with adjustment for clinical characteristics including calendar years, 758 patients were included for analysis (pairs of n=379 ICU-CR and non-ICU-CR). The ICU-CR was significantly associated with a higher probability of return to walking independence (incident rate ratio [IRR], 2.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.77–2.36) and return to home (IRR, 1.22 95% CI, 1.05–1.41). These associations were consistently observed in various subgroups regarding CVD conditions (Figure 1). During the median follow-up periods of 2.6 years, all-cause clinical events and cardiovascular events occurred in 289 patients (38.1%) and 153 patients (20.2%), respectively. The ICU-CR showed significantly lower rates of five-year all-cause and cardiovascular events than non-ICU-CR (hazard ratio [95% CI] for all-cause events and cardiovascular events, 0.71 [0.56–0.89] and 0.69 [0.50–0.95], respectively, Figure 2).
Conclusions
The implementation of acute-phase CR in the ICU increased with year-trend, considered beneficial to improve in-hospital and long-term clinical outcomes in patients with CVD and various subgroups of relatively severe disease conditions.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Early mobility therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU) is widely employed to improve the physical function and prognosis of patients with critically ill. On the other hand, patients who undergo cardiovascular surgery frequently suffer from disabilities after ICU care due to their cardiopulmonary conditions and treatments. However, few studies have reported the procedures and assessments of acute-phase rehabilitation in these patients. Recently, the Perme ICU Mobility Score (Perme Score) was developed as a reliable tool to assess comprehensive mobility status of patients in the ICU. We hypothesised that the Perme Score is a useful tool for assessing the mobility levels in the ICU and predicting clinical outcomes in patients undergoing acute-phase rehabilitation after cardiovascular surgery.
Purpose
To investigate the associations between the Perme Score within the second days after cardiovascular surgery and the patients' clinical outcomes, including physical function and the incidence of clinical events.
Methods
We studied 224 consecutive patients (34.4% female; aged 65±13 years) who were admitted to the ICU of a tertiary academic hospital after cardiac and/or major vascular surgery. Clinical characteristics including patient profiles, comorbidities, surgical details and APACHE II and SOFA scores were evaluated on ICU admission. The Perme Score contains categories on mental status, potential mobility barriers, muscle strength and mobility level, with higher scores indicating greater activity levels in the ICU. We assessed the Perme Score within the second days after the surgery. As a physical function at hospital discharge, we measured the six-minute walk distance (6MWD). The primary endpoint was a composite outcome of the number of all-cause mortality and/or all-cause unplanned readmission. We analysed the associations of the Perme Score with the 6MWD and the incidence of clinical events using multiple regression analysis and multivariate Poisson regression analysis, respectively.
Results
After adjusting for clinical confounding factors, a higher Perme Score was an independent factor of a higher 6MWD (Table 1). During the median follow-up period of 1.3 years, 51 cases of all-cause mortality/readmission occurred in 37 (16.5%) patients, with an incidence rate of 18.6/100 person-years. In the multivariate Poisson regression analysis, even after adjusting for the severity score in the ICU, a higher Perme Score was significantly and independently associated with lower rates of all-cause clinical events (adjusted incident rate ratio: 0.96, 95% confidence interval: 0.93–0.99, P=0.008, Figure 1).
Conclusions
The Perme Score within the second days after cardiovascular surgery is correlated with physical function at hospital discharge and the incidence of clinical events after discharge. Thus, a comprehensive assessment of acute-phase rehabilitation after cardiovascular surgery may be useful in predicting clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction
The emerging interdisciplinary field of cardio-oncology is of interest to clinicians because a history of cancer or cancer treatment is considered a severe risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Both cancer and CVD can reduce skeletal muscle mass; together, they can lead to a poorer prognosis. However, it is unclear whether a patient's cancer history can lower physical function and lead to a poor prognosis with the coexistence of cancer history and physical dysfunction in patients with CVD. This study aimed to identify the relationship between cancer history and physical function, as well as the prognostic value of their combination, in patients with CVD.
Methods
We reviewed 3,640 patients with CVD (mean age, 67.9±13.5 years) who underwent physical-function tests (gait speed and 6-min walking distance [6MWD]). We performed multivariate linear regression analysis to assess potential associations between cancer history and physical-function tests in patients with CVD. Additionally, we used the Kaplan–Meier curve and Cox regression analyses to assess survival and prognostic significance for patients divided into four groups according to the presence or absence of cancer history and high or low physical function.
Results
In multivariate linear regression analysis, cancer history was independently associated with lower gait speed and 6MWD (gait speed, P=0.048 and 6MWD, P=0.040). A total of 581 deaths occurred over a median follow-up period of 3.08 years (interquartile range: 1.36–5.27). For all-cause mortality, patients with a history of cancer and reduced physical function were found to have a significantly higher mortality risk even after adjusting for several covariates (gait speed, HR: 1.66, P=0.003 and 6MWD, HR: 1.71, P=0.003).
Conclusion
Cancer history was correlated with physical dysfunction in patients with CVD. Moreover, the coexistence of cancer history and physical dysfunction resulted in poorer prognosis in patients with CVD.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Exercise intolerance in patients with heart failure (HF) is a strong indicator of a poor prognosis. As the respiratory impairment in HF patients, the small airway is reportedly more susceptible than central airways, which results in increased airway resistance and may cause poor outcomes. However, the impact of small-airway disease (SAD) on exercise intolerance and prognosis in patients with HF is still unclear.
Purpose
We investigated the associations between SAD and exercise intolerance in patients with HF, and the clinical significance of SAD for long-term clinical events with a reduced or preserved ejection fraction.
Methods
We reviewed 1015 patients with HF (mean age, 66.9±14.6 years; male, 64.5%) admitted for medical treatment. Patients with a prior history of chronic respiratory disease or an obstructive lung pattern – defined as the forced expiratory volume (%) in 1 s relative to <70% forced vital capacity using spirometry – were excluded. Characteristics including HF aetiology, comorbidities conditions, medications, blood parameters, and echocardiographic variables were obtained from clinical records. All patients underwent spirometry at hospital discharge, and SAD was defined as the maximum mid-expiratory flow (%) relative to a <60% predicted value. At hospital discharge, we measured 6-min walk distance (6MWD), and <300 m was considered as exercise intolerance. The primary endpoint was a composite clinical event of all-cause death and/or unplanned readmission for HF. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between SAD and exercise intolerance. The multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was used to clarify whether SAD was an independent predictor for the incidence of clinical events. We also performed subgroup analyses in each multivariate analysis based on a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 40%.
Result
SAD was observed in 479 (47.2%) patients. LVEF subgroups included 458 (45.1%) and 518 (51.0%) patients with LVEF <40% and ≥40%, respectively. After adjusting for clinical characteristics, SAD was independently associated with 6MWD <300 m (Figure 1). Moreover, this association was consistently observed in the LVEF <40% and ≥40% (Figure 1). During the median follow-up period of 1.5 years, all-cause death/readmission occurred in 431 patients (42.5%), and the incidence rate was 17.5/100 person-years. In the multivariate Cox proportional hazard model, SAD was independently associated with lower event-free survival rates in all patients and the LVEF <40% subgroup, but not LVEF ≥40% subgroup (Figure 2A, B, and C, respectively).
Conclusion
This study is the first to reveal that SAD is associated with exercise intolerance in patients with HF regardless of LVEF. Moreover, SAD may have a predictive significance for long-term outcomes in patients with HF and subgroups with reduced, but not preserved ejection fraction.

Background
Owing to the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), people have refrained from going out unnecessarily and have been maintaining social distance. These new lifestyle approaches have affected people physically, psychologically, and socially. Patients with heart failure (HF) are more likely to have social frailty, physical frailty, cognitive impairment, and depressive symptoms, and an overlap of these conditions leads to adverse events. Therefore, multi-domain assessment and understanding of the condition of patients with HF are important for disease management. The spread of COVID-19 is a predicted risk factor for these events, but its impact in patients with HF has not been investigated.
Purpose
We investigated whether the spread of COVID-19 is associated with the development of the multi-domain of frailty in patients with HF.
Methods
Patients who were independent in their daily activities before admission were included in the study. The presence of social frailty (Makizako’s five items), physical frailty (Fried phenotype model), cognitive impairment (Mini-Cog), and depressive symptoms (the Patient Health Questionnaire-2) in patients with HF were assessed at hospital discharge. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the impact of the spread of COVID-19 on the development of the multi-domain of frailty in patients with HF.
Results
We included 482 patients in this study. Median patient age was 74 years, and 64.5% were male. In multivariate logistic regression analyses, the spread of COVID-19 was significantly associated with the development of social frailty (odds ratio [OR]: 1.15, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02–1.30) and depressive symptoms (OR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.02–1.27) but not with the development of physical frailty (OR: 1.24, 95% CI: 0.51–3.02) and cognitive impairment (OR: 1.72, 95% CI: 0.80–3.73).
Conclusion
The spread of COVID-19 was associated with the development of social frailty and depressive symptoms in patients with HF. Evaluation of social frailty and depressive symptoms during hospitalization would support disease management and understand their social and psychological conditions specific to the spread of COVID-19.

Background
It is widely known that patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are at increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is linked to sarcopenia and physical dysfunction. However, the relationship between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and physical dysfunction remains unclear.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of MAFLD in patients with ACS to assess the relationship between MAFLD and muscle strength, walking speed, and 6-minute walking distance (6 MWD).
Methods
We reviewed patients with ACS who were assessed for hepatic steatosis using the fatty liver index, and the results were further assessed to determine the presence of MAFLD. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the association between MAFLD and physical function.
Results
Among 479 enrolled hospitalized patients, MAFLD was identified in 234 (48.9%) patients. We conducted a multiple regression analysis in which MAFLD was independently associated with lower leg strength, gait speed, and 6 MWD (leg strength, P = 0.023; gait speed, P = 0.002 and 6 MWD, P = 0.017). Furthermore, having more metabolic impairment was still associated with lower physical function decline (leg strength, P for trend = 0.002; gait speed, P for trend = 0.019 and 6 MWD, P for trend = 0.003).
Conclusions
MAFLD is common in hospitalized patients with ACS, and most patients with MAFLD have many overlapping metabolic abnormalities. MAFLD is associated with impaired physical function, and the greater the number of overlapping metabolic abnormalities, the worse the motor function.

Background
Sarcopenia is a chronic condition that is characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass with declining muscle strength and/or performance that occurs gradually with aging. It has been reported that sarcopenia is highly prevalent in patients with heart failure (HF) and is a poor prognostic factor. Therefore, it is important to accurately assess skeletal muscle mass in patients with HF. However, there are no reports that have simultaneously examined different skeletal muscle mass metrics as factors in the prognosis of HF patients.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to examine if the different skeletal muscle mass metrics are associated with the prognosis of HF patients.
Methods
We examined a total of 869 patients with HF, aged ≥20 years (73 [63, 80] years; 537 males), who were admitted to our hospital and participated in an inpatient cardiac rehabilitation program. We used skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) as measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), arm muscle circumference (AMC), and calf circumference (CC) as metrics of skeletal muscle mass. The primary outcome was all-cause deaths, and secondary outcome was HF readmission. To investigate the association between each skeletal muscle mass metric and prognosis, patients were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of SMI, MUAC, AMC, and CC. In addition, cumulative event rates of survival curves, Gray test, and Fine & Gray test were performed to evaluate the prognostic predictive capability.
Results
Over a median follow-up period of 0.9 years (interquartile 0.4–1.9) years, a total of 80 deaths and 195 HF readmissions occurred in the patients. Cumulative event rates of survival curves and Gray test showed that there was a significant decrease in all-cause mortality and HF readmission in the high MUAC group and high AMC group compared to their respective low groups (P < 0.05). Fine & Gray test after multivariate adjustment showed significantly better prognosis in the high MUAC group and high AMC group compared to their respective low groups (All-cause mortality: high MUAC group, subdistribution hazard ratio [sHR] = 0.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.20-0.88, P < 0.05; high AMC group, sHR = 0.34, 95%CI = 0.16-0.72 P < 0.05, HF readmission: high MUAC group, sHR = 0.69, 95%CI = 0.47-1.00, P < 0.05; high AMC group, sHR = 0.63, 95%CI = 0.43-0.93, P < 0.05).
Conclusion
Patients with HF who maintained high MUAC and high AMC had a good prognosis. CC and SMI were not associated with the prognosis of HF patients. This suggests the importance of evaluating MUAC and AMC in HF patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Kidney dysfunction is considered one of the most prevalent comorbidities in patients with heart failure (HF). A combination of HF and kidney dysfunction is associated with peripheral muscle impairment, exercise intolerance, and poor prognosis. Conversely, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for HF patients has been recognized to improve their clinical outcomes. However, the impact of kidney function on responses to CR in patients with HF is still unclear.
Purpose
This study aimed to investigate the associations between baseline kidney function and outcomes following CR including changes in physical function and prognosis in HF patients.
Methods
We reviewed a total of 3,727 patients who were admitted for HF treatment and underwent comprehensive CR during hospitalization. In addition to clinical characteristics, we assessed the kidney function using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) based on serum creatinine level at hospital discharge as baseline. The quadriceps strength (QS) and 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) were measured as muscle strength and functional capacity, respectively, at baseline. We also remeasured these parameter 5 months after hospital discharge in patients who participated in outpatient CR. The association between participation in outpatient CR and composite outcome of all-cause death and/or unplanned readmission were assessed using the multivariate Cox proportional hazard models in a subgroup of baseline eGFR. We also compared the changes in QS and 6MWD (ΔQS and Δ6MWD) between the eGFR stages.
Results
During the median follow-up period of 1.9 years, all-cause death/readmission occurred in 1604 (43.0%) patients, and their rate of incidence was 20.9/100 person-years. Out of studied patients, 1,585 (42.5%) patients participated in outpatient CR that was significantly associated with lower incidences of all-cause clinical events in patients with both eGFR ≥60 (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 0.73, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.60–0.89, P=0.002) and eGFR <60 (adjusted HR: 0.88, 95% CI: 0.78–0.99, P=0.045), but those with an eGFR <60 showed significant interaction between CR participation and adverse clinical events (interaction P<0.035, Figure 1). Among the outpatient CR participants, QS and 6MWD were significantly higher after 5-month CR than those at baseline (P<0.001, respectively), but the low baseline eGFR correlated with low ΔQS and Δ6MWD (trend P<0.001, respectively) even after adjustment for clinical confounding factors (Figure 2).
Conclusions
Although the outcomes following CR is affected by baseline kidney function, outpatient CR is significantly associated with the positive change in physical function and better prognosis in HF patients with low kidney function.

Abstract
Although a significant association between periodontal disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease has been reported, their cause-to-effect relationship remains controversial. This randomized controlled clinical trial aimed to investigate the effect of advanced self-care on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease-related vascular function markers flow-mediated brachial artery dilatation (FMD) and serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) level in patients with early-stage periodontal disease. The study was designed as a parallel group, 3-month follow-up, open-label, randomized controlled trial. The control group received standard care for periodontal diseases, whereas the test group additionally applied disinfectant using a custom-fabricated prescription tray for advanced self-care twice a day. Overall, 110 patients provided data for FMD and serum ADMA level. No significant improvements in FMD were observed in the control (mean increase, −0.1%; 95% confidence interval [CI], −1.0–0.8; P = 0.805) or test (mean increase, −0.3%; 95% CI, −1.1–0.4; P = 0.398) group. No significant changes in serum ADMA levels were observed (mean reduction, 0.01 μmol/L; 95% CI, −0.00–0.02; P = 0.366 and mean reduction, 0.00 μmol/L; 95% CI, −0.01–0.01; P = 0.349, respectively). No significant between-group differences were found in FMD (mean difference, −0.2%; 95% CI, −1.4–0.9; p = 0.708) or serum ADMA levels (mean difference, 0.01 nmol/L; 95% CI, −0.00–0.03; p = 0.122). Significant improvements in the average probing pocket depth were observed in the control and test groups. The bleeding on probing score in the test group was significantly reduced, while that in the control group was reduced, although not significantly. Periodontal care for a 3-month duration did not provide better endothelial function although improvements of periodontal status in patients with early-stage periodontal diseases. This trial is registered in UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (www.umin.ac.jp/ctr/; ID: UMIN000023395).

Introduction
Heart failure (HF) and liver dysfunction often coexist because of complex cardiohepatic interactions, which adversely affects prognosis. However, the association between liver dysfunction and physical dysfunction, and between coexistence of both and prognosis in HF patients remains unclear.
Purpose
We evaluated the associations of severity of liver damage and physical function and prognosis in patients with HF.
Methods
The study population consisted of 895 patients with HF (mean age, 69.4 ± 14.2 years) who underwent liver function test using model for end-stage liver disease excluding international normalized ratio (MELD-XI) score and physical function test (grip strength, leg strength, gait speed, and 6-minute walking distance [6MWD]). The associations between MELD-XI score and physical function were assessed by multivariate linear regression model analysis. Moreover, we investigated the prognostic value of coexistence of liver dysfunction and physical dysfunction. The endpoint was all-cause mortality.
Results
After adjusting for covariates, MELD-XI score was independently associated with lower grip strength, leg strength, gait speed, and 6MWD (P < 0.001). In addition, hierarchical multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that adding MELD-XI scores or BNP explained additional variance in the physical function measures. The MELD-XI score added to the clinical model was significantly more predictive of physical function (grip strength, change in F: 27.105, P < 0.001; leg strength, change in F: 33.980, P < 0.001; gait speed, change in F: 22.826, P < 0.001; 6MWD, change in F: 59.193, P < 0.001) than BNP added to the clinical model. Eighty-six deaths occurred over a median follow-up period of 1.67 years (interquartile range: 0.62 – 3.04). Patients with high MELD-XI score and reduced physical function were found to have significantly higher mortality risk even after adjusting for several covariates (grip strength, hazard ratio [HR] = 3.80 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.04 – 7.08], P < 0.001; leg strength, HR = 4.65 [95% CI = 2.47 - 8.75], P < 0.001 and gait speed, HR = 2.49 [95% CI = 1.43 - 4.33], P = 0.001; 6MWD, HR = 5.48 [95% CI = 2.88 - 10.41], P < 0.001).
Conclusions
Liver dysfunction was correlated with reduced physical function. Moreover, the coexistence of lower physical function and liver dysfunction considerably affected prognosis in patients with HF.

Introduction
Although muscle dysfunction is widely known as a poor prognostic factor in patients with cardiovascular disease, no study has examined whether the addition of low skeletal muscle density (SMD) assessed by computed tomography (CT) to muscle dysfunction is useful.
Purpose
The present study aimed to examine whether SMDs can strengthen the predictive ability of muscle dysfunction for adverse events in patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 853 patients (median age: 69 years, 65.1% male) aged ≥40 years who had preoperative CT for risk management purposes and muscle dysfunctions measured during postoperative cardiac rehabilitation. Muscle dysfunctions were determined from weakness (low grip strength) and slowness (slow gait speed) based on the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia. Low SMD based on transverse abdominal CT images was defined as a mean Hounsfield unit of the psoas muscle <45. To examine the complementary prognostic value for all-cause deaths, all-cause events, and cardiovascular-related events when low SMDs were added to four patterns of muscle dysfunction (weakness only, slowness only, weakness or slowness, and weakness and slowness), the continuous net reclassification improvement (cNRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) index were calculated.
Results
For all definitions of muscle dysfunction, the addition of SMDs was shown to significantly improve the cNRI (estimates: 0.377 to 0.468 for all-cause death, 0.220 to 0.248 for all-cause events, 0.308 to 0.322 for cardiovascular-related events) and IDI (estimates: 0.005 to 0.011 for all-cause death, 0.005 to 0.010 for all-cause events, 0.009 to 0.012 for cardiovascular-related events) in all analyses. Low SMDs combined with muscle dysfunctions were associated with the highest risk of all-cause death (Figure 1: A-D). Patients with neither low SMDs nor muscle dysfunction had the lowest risk of all-cause events and cardiovascular-related events (Figure1: E-L).
Conclusion
The predictive ability of muscle dysfunction for adverse events was consistently increased by addition of SMDs in patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery. Our results suggest that when CT is performed for any clinical investigation, the addition of the organic assessment of skeletal muscle can strengthen the diagnostic accuracy of muscle wasting.

Abstract
The enzyme L-methionine-γ-lyase is commonly found in a wide range of bacteria and catalyzes the α-elimination and γ-elimination of L-methionine to produce methyl mercaptan, α-ketobutyrate and ammonia. Black cumin seed essential oil (BC oil) reportedly exhibits deodorizing activity against methyl mercaptan. Therefore, we hypothesized that BC oil may also suppress methyl mercaptan production. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the inhibitory effect of BC oil on L-methionine-γ-lyase activity in Fusobacterium nucleatum. Recombinant L-methionine-γ-lyase was incubated under appropriate conditions with BC oil and its constituent thymoquinone. To analyze L-methionine-γ-lyase activity, α-ketobutyric acid and ammonia concentrations were determined. The concentrations of α-ketobutyric acid and ammonia were significantly decreased by 10 µg mL-1 of BC oil (P < 0.01) and 16.4 µg/mL of thymoquinone (P < 0.05). An enzyme kinetic assay showed a mixed inhibition pattern between L-methionine-γ-lyase and thymoquinone. In conclusion, BC oil not only had a deodorizing effect against methyl mercaptan but also an inhibitory effect on methyl mercaptan production through the suppression of L-methionine-γ-lyase activity. Thymoquinone may be mainly responsible for these effects of BC oil. Thus, application of natural BC oil may be adapted not only for medical use but also in other areas of life.

Abstract
The selection of low-radioactive construction materials is of utmost importance for the success of low-energy rare event search experiments. Besides radioactive contaminants in the bulk, the emanation of radioactive radon atoms from material surfaces attains increasing relevance in the effort to further reduce the background of such experiments. In this work, we present the 222 Rn emanation measurements performed for the XENON1T dark matter experiment. Together with the bulk impurity screening campaign, the results enabled us to select the radio-purest construction materials, targeting a 222 Rn activity concentration of 10 μ Bq / kg in 3.2 t of xenon. The knowledge of the distribution of the 222 Rn sources allowed us to selectively eliminate problematic components in the course of the experiment. The predictions from the emanation measurements were compared to data of the 222 Rn activity concentration in XENON1T. The final 222 Rn activity concentration of ( 4.5 ± 0.1 ) μ Bq / kg in the target of XENON1T is the lowest ever achieved in a xenon dark matter experiment.

Abstract
We report on a search for nuclear recoil signals from solar ^{8}B neutrinos elastically scattering off xenon nuclei in XENON1T data, lowering the energy threshold from 2.6 to 1.6 keV. We develop a variety of novel techniques to limit the resulting increase in backgrounds near the threshold. No significant ^{8}B neutrinolike excess is found in an exposure of 0.6 t×y. For the first time, we use the nondetection of solar neutrinos to constrain the light yield from 1-2 keV nuclear recoils in liquid xenon, as well as nonstandard neutrino-quark interactions. Finally, we improve upon world-leading constraints on dark matter-nucleus interactions for dark matter masses between 3 and 11 GeV c^{-2} by as much as an order of magnitude.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are self-assemblies of metal ions and organic ligands, provide a tunable platform to search a new state of matter. A two-dimensional (2D) perfect kagome lattice, whose geometrical frustration is a key to realizing quantum spin liquids, has been formed in the π - d conjugated 2D MOF [Cu3(C6S6)] n (Cu-BHT). The recent discovery of its superconductivity with a critical temperature T c of 0.25 kelvin raises fundamental questions about the nature of electron pairing. Here, we show that Cu-BHT is a strongly correlated unconventional superconductor with extremely low superfluid density. A nonexponential temperature dependence of superfluid density is observed, indicating the possible presence of superconducting gap nodes. The magnitude of superfluid density is much smaller than those in conventional superconductors and follows the Uemura's relation of strongly correlated superconductors. These results imply that the unconventional superconductivity in Cu-BHT originates from electron correlations related to spin fluctuations of kagome lattice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether the hop-derived polyphenol isoxanthohumol suppresses insulin resistance by changing the intestinal microbiota. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male C57BL/6J mice (7 weeks of age) were divided into five groups (n = 9-10): Normal Diet (ND), High Fat Diet (HFD), HFD + low dose isoxanthohumol (0.01%IX), HFD + medium dose isoxanthohumol (0.03% IX), and HFD + high dose isoxanthohumol (0.1% IX). Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) were performed at 4 and 8 weeks, and insulin tolerance tests (ITTs) were performed at 13 weeks. 16S rRNA gene sequencing analyses revealed the fecal microbiota profiles, and the relative abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila and Clostridium cluster XI was calculated by qRT-PCR. Plasma lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels were measured by ELISA, and mRNA expression levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interleukin (IL)-1β in epididymal adipose tissues were measured by qRT-PCR. RESULTS Isoxanthohumol showed antibacterial activity towards several bacterial species and mitigated impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance induced by the HFD in a dose-dependent manner, as shown by OGTTs and ITTs. The concentration of phylum Verrucomicrobia bacteria dramatically increased in the 0.1% IX group, the relative abundance of A. muciniphila increased, and that of Clostridium cluster XI decreased. Moreover, the intake of isoxanthohumol decreased the levels of plasma LPS and mRNA expression of TNF-α and IL-1β in epididymal adipose tissues. CONCLUSIONS We found that isoxanthohumol can suppress HFD-induced insulin resistance by changing the intestinal microbiota and reducing the expression of inflammation factors.

Abstract
Calcification plays an important role in the human body in maintaining homeostasis. In the human body, the presence of a high amount of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is a consistent feature of the local areas that are common sites of ectopic calcification, namely dental calculus, renal calculus, and the areas affected by arteriosclerosis. Hence, ox-LDL may have some effect on calcification. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation revealed a high amount of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) when ox-LDL was included in the solution. In the in vitro experiment, the highest amount of precipitation of calcium phosphate was observed in the solution containing ox-LDL compared to the inclusion of other biomaterials and was 4.2 times higher than that of deionized water for 4.86 mM calcium and 2.71 mM phosphate. The morphology of calcium phosphate precipitates in the solution containing ox-LDL differed from that of the precipitates in solutions containing other biomaterials, as determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Through the time course observation of the sediments using TEM, it was observed that the sediments changed from spherical or oval shape to a thin film shape. These results indicate that sediments acquired a long-range order array, and the phase transitioned from non-crystalline to crystalline with an increased time and density of ACP. Thus, it is concluded that ox-LDL promoted ACP precipitation and it plays an important role in ectopic calcification.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Respiratory muscle weakness (RMW), frequently observed in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), is documented as a predictor for exercise intolerance and poor prognosis. On the other hand, frailty is commonly associated with disease condition, leading to increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Although the developmental mechanism of RMW and frailty is partly similar, the relationship between these statuses remains unclear.
Purpose
We aimed to investigate the correlation between RMW and frailty and its impact on prognosis in patients with CVD.
Methods
We studied 771 consecutive patients (68.5±13.1 years, 256 females) who were hospitalized for CVD treatment and underwent cardiac rehabilitation during hospitalization. Patients who received thoracic surgery within the last 3 months or could not perform respiratory function test were excluded from this study. As patient characteristics, we obtained body mass index, comorbidity conditions, smoking history, blood examinations, echocardiographical variables, and lung function from medical database. The frailty status on admission was assessed using frailty score consisting of 5 items including gait speed, nutrition/shrinking, physical activity, forgetfulness, and emotions/exhaustion, and patients who had 3 items were defined as frailty. We also measured maximal inspiratory pressure (PImax) as respiratory muscle strength at hospital discharge, and RMW was defined with PImax <70% of predicted value. Primary end-point was all-cause clinical events including all-cause death and/or unplanned readmission after hospital discharge. We examined the prevalence of RMW and frailty and the correlation between these statuses. The relationships of RMW with the clinical events for each presence or absence of frailty were also investigated using multivariate Cox proportional hazard models.
Results
RMW and frailty were defined in 163 (33.5%) and 126 (28.7%) patients, respectively, and 95 patients (12.4%) among them showed an overlap of both statuses (Figure 1). Frailty was detected as a significant indicator of RMW after adjusting for confounding factors (adjusted odds ratio: 1.57, 95% CI: 1.12–2.19, P=0.009). Over the median follow-up periods of 1.2 years, all-cause clinical events occurred in 154 patients (20.0%). RMW was significantly and independently associated with increased incidence of all-cause clinical events in patients with both non-frailty (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.09–2.46, P=0.017) and frailty (adjusted HR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.14–3.42, P=0.015) even after adjusting for clinical confounding factors (Figure 2).
Conclusions
This study is the first to demonstrate that RMW correlated to frailty in patients with CVD, and 12.4% of patients had overlap status. Moreover, RMW was significantly associated with an increased risk of all-cause clinical events in patients with CVD and frailty.

Abstract
Intracranial abscess is a rare but life-threatening disease. There have been no reports on intracranial abscess induced by the residual primary tooth and the impacted successive permanent tooth with infection. We report on an interesting case of a 29-year-old man suffering from an epidural abscess, potentially caused by an infection of the residual primary maxillary right canine and the impacted permanent maxillary right canine. The patient recovered completely after prolonged antibiotic treatment and extraction of both of the suspected teeth. Fusobacterium sp. was isolated from the culture of a peripheral blood sample. This case alerts us to realize that the lack of suitable and timely intervention in oral conditions might produce a harmful effect on general health.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In elderly people, a decline in activities of daily living is more closely associated with low muscle strength (dynapenia) than with low muscle mass. Moreover, the combination of low muscle strength and obesity (dynapenic obesity) is associated with a higher risk of mortality than dynapenia or obesity alone, but its influence on prognosis is still unknown in elderly heart failure (HF) patients. To clarify these relationships may contribute to the development of rehabilitation programs for elderly HF patients and the improvement their prognoses in the future.
Purpose
We aimed to investigate the influence of dynapenia and obesity on prognoses of elderly HF patients.
Methods
We evaluated 1006 elderly HF patients aged ≥65 years (76.5±6.9 years, 579 males) who were admitted to our hospital and participated in an inpatient cardiac rehabilitation program. We assessed patients' characteristics, including body mass index (BMI) and handgrip strength during hospitalization. Patients with low handgrip strength (<26 kg and <18 kg in males and females, respectively) and high BMI (≥25 kg/m2) were considered to have dynapenia and obesity, respectively. Moreover, patients fulfilling the above two criteria (dynapenia, obesity) were considered to have dynapenic obesity. Patients were divided into four groups: normal, dynapenia only, obesity only, and dynapenic obesity. We compared survival rates among the four groups using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. To identify predictors for all-cause mortality, we performed Cox regression analysis.
Results
During the 8-year follow-up period, 228 patients (21.2%) died. Eight-year cumulative incidences of mortality were 35.4%, 26.0%, 62.6%, and 33.1% in the normal, obesity only, dynapenia only, and dynapenic obesity groups, respectively. Significantly lower survival rates were observed in the dynapenia only group than in the other 3 groups (log-rank: 28.893, P<0.001). Cox regression analysis, after adjusting for age and sex, showed significantly poor prognosis in the dyanapenia only group than in the other 3 groups (normal group, hazard ratio [HR] = 0.684, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.488–0.959, P=0.028; obesity only group, HR = 0.330, 95% CI = 0.182–0.598, P<0.001; dynapenic obesity group, HR = 0.390, 95% CI = 0.206–0.739, P=0.004).
Conclusion
Elderly HF patients with dynapenia alone had poor prognoses. Obesity may have protective effects on the survival of dynapenia patients with HF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Autonomic dysfunction is among the most important pathophysiological factors involved in the high mortality rate associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Autonomic function is generally evaluated by heart rate variability, which is obtained by Holter electrocardiography. However, the measurement of heart rate variability requires continuous electrocardiographic monitoring for 24 h, which is time consuming and not always feasible. The pupillary area is controlled by the autonomic nervous system; however, limited data are available regarding the utility of the pupillary area for predicting prognosis in patients with CVD.
Purpose
We aimed to investigate whether pupillary area can be used as a novel prognostic marker in patients with CVD.
Methods
We retrospectively reviewed 1342 consecutive Japanese patients hospitalized for CVD. The study was performed in accordance with the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki, and the protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of our University Hospital. The pupillary area measurement was performed on both eyes at least 7 days after hospitalization for CVD using a portable videopupillography system (Iriscorder Dual C10641; Hamamatsu Photonics, Hamamatsu, Japan) consisting of a goggle-shaped measurement portion with a charge-coupled device camera and a control portion with a video monitor and microcomputer with software for data analysis. After securing the goggles on the patient's face and fully covering the patient's eyes, a 5-minute period was allowed for dark adaptation. All patients were tested once between 09:00 and 12:00 h. The primary outcome of this study was all-cause mortality, and the endpoint time was calculated as the number of days from the date of pupillary area measurement up to three years. We performed the Kaplan–Meier and log-rank tests and multivariable Cox regression analysis to evaluate the prognostic predictive capability of the pupillary area.
Results
The study population had a mean age of 65±13 years, and 69.4% of the patients were male. The median of the pupillary area was 18.5 mm2 (interquartile range: 13.3–23.4 mm2). Over a median follow-up period of 1.9 years (interquartile range: 1.0–3.0 years), a total of 114 deaths occurred in the patient population. The Kaplan–Meier and log-rank tests revealed that all-cause mortality was significantly higher in the small pupillary area group than in the large pupillary area group (P<0.0001, Figure). Furthermore, Cox regression analysis indicated that the pupillary area was an independent predictor of mortality (Hazard ratio: 0.96; 95% confidence interval: 0.93–0.98; P=0.006) even after adjusting for several preexisting prognostic factors.
Kaplan-Meire Curve
Conclusion
The pupillary area can be an independent predictor of prognosis in patients with CVD, and our observations suggest that the assessment of the pupillary area can be useful as a new noninvasive prognostic predictor in patients with CVD.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Cognitive impairment (CI) is associated with worse prognosis in patients with heart failure, especially in the elderly; however, its incremental prognostic ability in pre-existing prognostic models has not been well elucidated. Moreover, although some tools have been proposed for evaluating cognitive function, their difference in prognostic prediction has not been explicitly compared.
Methods
A total of 352 heart failure patients aged ≥75 years admitted to three hospitals were evaluated for their cognitive function using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Mini-cog during index hospitalization. We diagnosed CI if MMSE and Mini-cog were ≤23 and ≤2, respectively. The primary endpoint was all-cause death.
Results
The median age of the entire cohort was 85 (IQR: 80–88) years, and 47.7% of the subjects were male. Based on the MMSE and Mini-cog, the CI was diagnosed in 167 (47.4%) and 159 (45.2%) patients, respectively. The two diagnostic tools showed poor to moderate agreement (Cohen's kappa coefficient: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.27–0.47). During the follow-up period of median 346 (IQR: 195–489) days, 53 patients (15.1%) died. Although the Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that CI diagnosed using Mini-cog (CI-MC) was associated with significantly higher mortality (P=0.001), this association was not significant for CI diagnosed using MMSE (CI-MMSE) (P=0.059). On multivariate Cox regression analysis, CI-MMSE and CI-MC were individually associated with worse prognosis in older heart failure patients even after adjustment for Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure (MAGGIC) risk model and log B-type natriuretic peptide levels (CI-MMSE, HR: 2.05 [95% CI: 1.16–3.61]; and CI-MC, HR: 2.57 [95% CI: 1.46–4.53]). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for Mini-cog showed significantly higher area under the curve (AUC) than that for MMSE (0.61 vs. 0.52, p=0.045). To test the incremental prognostic capability, models were constructed by individually adding each score to the MAGGIC risk model, and the net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) were evaluated. CI-MMSE did not show incremental prognostic predictability (NRI: 0.28, p=0.069; IDI: 0.01, p=0.090), whereas CI-MC (NRI: 0.45, p=0.001; IDI: 0.03, p=0.001) did. Adding CI-MC instead of CI-MMSE to the MAGGIC risk model showed significant reclassification improvement (NRI: 0.45, p=0.002, IDI: 0.02, p=0.041).
Conclusion
In older patients with heart failure, CI defined by Mini-Cog is superior in providing additive prognostic value than that defined by CI based on MMSE.

Abstract
Elucidation of a gene's function typically involves comparison of phenotypic traits of wild-type strains and strains in which the gene of interest has been disrupted. Loss of function following gene disruption is subsequently restored by exogenous addition of the product of the disrupted gene. This helps to determine the function of the gene. A method previously described involves generating a gtfC gene-disrupted Streptococcus mutans strain. Here, an undemanding method is described for purifying the gtfC gene product from the newly generated S. mutans strain following the gene disruption. It involves the addition of a polyhistidine-coding sequence at the 3' end of the gene of interest, which allows simple purification of the gene product using immobilized metal affinity chromatography. No enzymatic reactions other than PCR are required for the genetic modification in this method. The restoration of the gene product by exogenous addition after gene disruption is an efficient method for determining gene function, which may also be adapted to different species.

Abstract
The goal of the present study was to determine the effect of sole horn thickness (SHT) and sole horn hardness (SHD) on ultrasonographic visualization of sole structures in the inner and outer claws of 150 Holstein-Friesian cows, and to evaluate different ultrasound frequencies for this purpose. Ultrasonographic views of the sole structure were considered complete when 3 echogenic lines, representing the ventral surface of the sole horn, the borders of the sole horn and soft-tissue layer, and the ventral surface of the distal phalanx, were seen. The proportion of complete ultrasonographic views of the sole structures, designated as the ultrasonographic visualization proportion (UVP), and the measurement errors of SHT were evaluated by comparing images from computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography. The latter images were generated using 3 different probes, frequencies of 6.5 and 5.0 MHz, and 2 different ultrasound machines (#1 and #2) to assess the apex, middle, and heel regions of the claws. The UVP were 60.8 to 77.9% for the 6.5-MHz probe in ultrasound machine #1 (probe A), which were lower than those (>90%) for both the 5.0-MHz probe in ultrasound machine #1 (probe B) and the 5.0-MHz probe in ultrasound machine #2 (probe C). The UVP was significantly lower in claws with an SHD ≥50 units than in claws with an SHD <40 or 40 to <50 units (UVP: 77.1% compared with 93.7 and 91.4%, respectively) when measured with probe B. In claws with an SHT <10 mm, the UVP was significantly lower when SHD was ≥50 units compared with <40 or 40 to >50 units; the values were 69.0% versus 91.3 and 85.9%, respectively, for probe A, and 89.7% versus 100 and 100%, respectively, for probe B. When SHT were measured by either probes A or B in ultrasound machine #1, the proportions of claws in which ultrasonographic values were within a ±1 mm range compared with the values obtained by CT were 84.9 to 91.3% for CT-determined SHT <5 mm, 66.7 to 71.9% for CT-determined SHT 5 to <7 mm, 28.9 to 51.2% for CT-determined SHT 7 to <10 mm, and 6.2 to 19.7% for CT-determined SHT ≥10 mm. The data indicated that increased SHT was associated with a decrease in ultrasonographic measurement accuracy. In claws with an SHT <5 mm, the high proportion of ultrasonographic values that were accurate within a ±1 mm range suggests that this imaging modality would be useful in cows with thin soles.

Abstract
A multiple-hydrogen-bond approach was applied to shorten Pt-X-Pt distances in Cl- and Br-bridged Pt chain complexes. [Pt(dabdOH)2Cl]Cl2 (5) and [Pt(dabdOH)2Br]Br2 (6) (dabdOH = (2 S,3 S)-2,3-diaminobutane-1,4-diol) contain hydroxy groups, which form additional hydrogen bonds with counteranions. 5 has the shortest Pt-Cl-Pt distance (5.0747(8) Å) of all Cl-bridged Pt chain complexes reported to date. Furthermore, the smallest optical gap (1.45 eV for 5 and 1.19 eV for 6) in any Cl- or Br-bridged Pt chain complex was achieved. 6 has the highest electrical conductivity (1.9 × 10-5 S cm-1 at room temperature) of all Br-bridged Pt chain complexes. This study shows that the introduction of additional hydrogen bonds between the ligands and halides is effective to enhance the electronic properties of halogen-bridged metal complexes.

Abstract
Photodynamic detection using 5-aminolevulinic acid has been used to identify the surgical margins during resection of human primary brain tumours. Although there are some reports on its use in malignant tumours in veterinary medicine, it has never been used for primary brain tumours. Here we describe a canine glioblastoma that was detected at autopsy with protoporphyrin IX fluorescence induced by orally administered 5-aminolevulinic acid. The fluorescence was strongest towards the centre of the lesion and was absent in normal brain tissue. Moreover, the fluorescence findings were consistent with MRI and histopathological findings. Our findings suggest that photodynamic detection using 5-aminolevulinic acid might be useful for intraoperative fluorescence-guided resection of malignant gliomas in dogs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Arm circumference (AC) and nutritional screening tools have been shown to have prognostic capability in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aimed to compare the prognostic predictive capabilities of AC and nutritional screening tools in older patients with CVD. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population consisted of 949 admitted patients ≥60 years old with CVD. Patients underwent AC measurement and nutritional screening before hospital discharge. We used the controlling nutritional status index (CONUT), the geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), and the prognostic nutritional index (PNI) as nutritional screening tools. The end point of the study was all-cause mortality. The mean age of the study population was 72.3 ± 7.2 years, and 68.2% of the patients were male. A total of 130 deaths occurred over a median follow-up period of 2.2 years (interquartile range, 1.1-3.8 years). After adjusting for other prognostic factors, AC (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.59; p < 0.001), CONUT (HR: 0.82; p = 0.016), GNRI (HR: 0.77; p = 0.040), and PNI (HR: 0.80; p = 0.014) were significant predictors of mortality. However, adding AC to the multivariate-adjusted model (0.739 vs. 0.714, respectively; p = 0.037), but not CONUT, GNRI, or PNI (0.724, 0.717, and 0.723 vs. 0.714; p = 0.072, p = 0.306, and p = 0.127, respectively), significantly increased the area under the curve on receiver operating characteristic curve. CONCLUSIONS AC, but not nutritional screening tools, plays a complementary role to preexisting prognostic factors for predicting prognosis in older patients with CVD.

Abstract
The Kitaev quantum spin liquid displays the fractionalization of quantum spins into Majorana fermions. The emergent Majorana edge current is predicted to manifest itself in the form of a finite thermal Hall effect, a feature commonly discussed in topological superconductors. Here we report on thermal Hall conductivity κ_{xy} measurements in α-RuCl_{3}, a candidate Kitaev magnet with the two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. In a spin-liquid (Kitaev paramagnetic) state below the temperature characterized by the Kitaev interaction J_{K}/k_{B}∼80 K, positive κ_{xy} develops gradually upon cooling, demonstrating the presence of highly unusual itinerant excitations. Although the zero-temperature property is masked by the magnetic ordering at T_{N}=7 K, the sign, magnitude, and T dependence of κ_{xy}/T at intermediate temperatures follows the predicted trend of the itinerant Majorana excitations.
