Abstract
OBJECTIVES Macroprolactinemia is one of the major causes of hyperprolactinemia. The aim of this study was to clarify the origin of macroprolactin (macro-PRL). METHODS We examined macro-PRL in the sera of 826 pregnant women and in those of their babies' umbilical cords at delivery. Macro-PRL was evaluated by precipitation with polyethylene glycol (PEG), gel filtration chromatography (GFC), and absorption with protein G (PG). RESULTS We detected macro-PRL in 16 out of the 826 pregnant women (1.94 %) and in 14 of their babies, which may indicate the possibility of hereditary origin of macro-PRL. However, the macro-PRL ratios of the babies correlated positively with those of their mothers (r=0.72 for GFC, p<0.001 and r=0.77 for PG, p<0.001), suggesting that the immunoglobulin (Ig)G-type anti-PRL autoantibodies might be actively transferred to babies via the placenta and form macro-PRL by binding to their babies' PRL or PRL-IgG complexes may possibly pass through the placenta. There were two cases in which only mothers had macro-PRL, indicating that the mothers had autoantibodies that did not pass through the placenta, such as IgA, PRL bound to the other proteins or PRL aggregates. No cases were found in which only the babies had macro-PRL and their mothers did not, suggesting that macro-PRL might not arise by non-hereditary congenital causes. CONCLUSIONS Macro-PRL in women of reproductive age might be mostly IgG-type anti-PRL autoantibody-bound PRL. The likely origin of macro-PRL in babies is the transplacental transfer of IgG-type anti-PRL autoantibodies or PRL-IgG complexes from the mothers to their babies.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES To define the prognosis and predictive factors for neurological improvement in older patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) of American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale grade C (AIS-C). SETTINGS Multi-institutions in Japan. METHODS We included patients aged ≥65 years with traumatic SCI of AIS-C who were treated conservatively or surgically with >3 follow-up months. To identify factors related to neurological improvement, patients were divided into three groups according to their neurological status at the final follow-up, with univariate among-group comparisons of demographics, radiographic, and therapeutic factors. Significant variables were included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Overall, 296 older patients with SCI of AIS-C on admission were identified (average age: 75.2 years, average follow-up: 18.7 months). Among them, 190 (64.2%) patients improved to AIS-D and 21 (7.1%) patients improved to AIS-E at final follow-up. There were significant among-group differences in age (p = 0.026), body mass index (p = 0.007), status of pre-traumatic activities of daily living (ADL) (p = 0.037), and serum albumin concentrations (p = 0.011). Logistic regression analysis showed no significant differences in variables in the stratified group of patients who improved to AIS-D. Meanwhile, serum albumin was a significant variable in patients who improved to AIS-E (p = 0.026; OR: 6.20, pre-traumatic ADL was omitted due to data skewness). CONCLUSIONS Most older patients with incomplete AIS-C SCI demonstrated at least 1 grade of neurological improvement. However, <10% of patients achieved complete recovery. Key predictors of complete recovery were high serum albumin levels on admission and independent pre-traumatic ADL. SPONSORSHIP No funding was received for this study.

Abstract
This retrospective cohort study established malnutrition's impact on mortality and neurological recovery of older patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). It included patients aged ≥ 65 years with traumatic cervical SCI treated conservatively or surgically. The Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index was calculated to assess nutritional-related risk. Overall, 789 patients (mean follow-up: 20.1 months) were examined and 47 had major nutritional-related risks on admission. One-year mortality rate, median survival time, neurological recovery, and activities of daily living (ADL) at 1 year post-injury were compared between patients with major nutrition-related risk and matched controls selected using 1:2 propensity score matching to adjust for age, pre-traumatic neurological impairment, and activity. In the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the median survival times were 44.9 and 76.5 months for patients with major nutrition-related risk and matched controls, respectively (p = 0.015). Matched controls had more individuals with a neurological improvement of American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale ≥ 1 grade (p = 0.039) and independence in ADL at 1 year post-injury than patients with major nutrition-related risk (p < 0.05). In conclusion, 6% of older patients with cervical SCI had major nutrition-related risks; they showed a significantly higher 1 year mortality rate, shorter survival time, poorer neurological improvement, and lower ADL at 1 year post-injury than matched controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although previous studies have demonstrated the advantages of early surgery for traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), the appropriate surgical timing for cervical SCIs (CSCIs) without bone injury remains controversial. Here, we investigated the influence of relatively early surgery within 48 h of injury on the neurological recovery of elderly patients with CSCI and no bone injury. METHODS In this retrospective multicenter study, we reviewed data from 159 consecutive patients aged ≥65 years with CSCI without bone injury who underwent surgery in participating centers between 2010 and 2020. Patients were followed up for at least 6 months following CSCI. We divided patients into relatively early (≤48 h after CSCI, n = 24) and late surgery (>48 h after CSCI, n = 135) groups, and baseline characteristics and neurological outcomes were compared between them. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify factors associated with neurological recovery. RESULTS The relatively early surgery group demonstrated a lower prevalence of cardiac disease, poorer baseline American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale grade, and lower baseline ASIA motor score (AMS) than those of the late surgery group (P < 0.030, P < 0.001, and P < 0.001, respectively). Although the AMS was lower in the relatively early surgery group at 6 months following injury (P = 0.001), greater improvement in this score from baseline to 6-months post injury was observed (P = 0.010). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that relatively early surgery did not affect postoperative improvement in AMS, rather, lower baseline AMS was associated with better AMS improvement (P < 0.001). Delirium (P = 0.006), pneumonia (P = 0.030), and diabetes mellitus (P = 0.039) negatively influenced postoperative improvement. CONCLUSIONS Although further validation by future studies is required, relatively early surgery did not show a positive influence on neurological recovery after CSCI without bone injury in the elderly.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The efficacy of anterior column realignment (ACR) remains relatively unclear, possibly because some safety concerns have limited its adoption and extensive evaluation. The authors aimed to study whether a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) triad consisting of ACR, lateral lumbar interbody fusion, and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation in a select group of adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients helps shorten fusion length without compromising clinical and radiographic outcomes over a minimum 2-year follow-up period. METHODS A series of 61 ASD patients (mean age 72.8 years) with pelvic incidence (PI) - lumbar lordosis (LL) (PI-LL) mismatch > 10° underwent the short-segment MIS triad (mean fusion length 3.0 levels) as a single-stage operation with a mean operative time and estimated blood loss of 157 minutes and 127 mL, respectively. Exclusion criteria were 1) thoracic scoliosis as the main deformity, 2) thoracolumbar junction kyphosis > 25°, 3) ankylosed facet joints, and 4) previous spinal fusion surgery. Seven patients, who needed fusion to be extended to S1, underwent mini-open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion at L5-S1. RESULTS The segmental disc angle at the ACR level more than quintupled, averaging from 2.9° preoperatively to 18.9° at the latest follow-up (p < 0.0001). LL, in turn, nearly doubled from 17.0° to 32.8° (p < 0.0001) and PI-LL decreased by nearly half from 28.8° to 13.2° (p < 0.0001). At the same time, other spinopelvic deformity parameters as well as Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores significantly improved. Patients were divided into two groups at the latest postoperative evaluation: 36 patients whose PI-LL improved to < 10° and 25 patients who maintained a PI-LL mismatch > 10°. Binary logistic regression revealed preoperative PI-LL mismatch as the only factor that significantly influenced this dichotomous separation postoperatively. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis identified the critical preoperative mismatch of 26.4° with 68% sensitivity and 84% specificity. Despite this different radiographic consequence, the two groups had an equally successful clinical outcome with no significant difference in ODI scores. CONCLUSIONS As long as the ASD characteristics are consistent with the authors' exclusion criteria, the short-segment MIS triad served as an excellent surgical option in the patients with preoperative PI-LL mismatch < 26.4°, but the technique also worked well even in those with a mismatch > 26.4°, although ideal spinopelvic alignment targets were not necessarily achieved in these patients.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVES The effectiveness of early surgery for cervical spinal injury (CSI) has been demonstrated. However, whether early surgery improves outcomes in the elderly remains unclear. This study investigated whether early surgery for CSI in elderly affects complication rates and neurological outcomes. METHODS This retrospective multicenter study included 462 patients. We included patients with traumatic acute cervical spinal cord injury aged ≥65 years who were treated surgically, whereas patients with American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Impairment Scale E, those with unknown operative procedures, and those waiting for surgery for >1 month were excluded. The minimum follow-up period was 6 months. Sixty-five patients (early group, 14.1%) underwent surgical treatment within 24 hours, whereas the remaining 397 patients (85.9%) underwent surgery on a standby basis (delayed group). The propensity score-matched cohorts of 63 cases were compared. RESULTS Patients in the early group were significantly younger, had significantly more subaxial dislocations (and fractures), tetraplegia, significantly lower ASIA motor scores, and ambulatory abilities 6 months after injury. However, no significant differences in the rate of complications, ambulatory abilities, or ASIA Impairment Scale scores 6 months after injury were observed between the matched cohorts. At 6 months after injury, 61% of the patients in the early group (25% unsupported and 36% supported) and 53% of the patients in the delayed group (34% unsupported and 19% supported) were ambulatory. CONCLUSIONS Early surgery is possible for CSI in elderly patients as the matched cohort reveals no significant difference in complication rates and neurological or ambulatory recovery between the early and delayed surgery groups.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective Cohort Study. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognosis of respiratory function in elderly patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and to identify predictive factors. METHODS We included 1353 cases of elderly cervical SCI patients collected from 78 institutions in Japan. Patients who required early tracheostomy and ventilator management and those who developed respiratory complications were defined as the respiratory disability group. Patients' background characteristics, injury mechanism, injury form, neurological disability, complications, and treatment methods were compared between the disability and non-disability groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the independent factors. Patients who required respiratory management for 6 months or longer after injury and those who died of respiratory complications were classified into the severe disability group and were compared with minor cases who were weaned off the respirator. RESULTS A total of 104 patients (7.8%) had impaired respiratory function. Comparisons between the disabled and non-disabled groups and between the severe and mild injury groups yielded distinct trends. In multiple logistic regression analysis, age, blood glucose level, presence of ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), anterior vertebral hematoma, and critical paralysis were selected as independent risk factors. CONCLUSION Age, OPLL, severe paralysis, anterior vertebral hematoma, hypoalbuminemia, and blood glucose level at the time of injury were independent factors for respiratory failure. Hyperglycemia may have a negative effect on respiratory function in this condition.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the impact of early post-injury respiratory dysfunction for neurological and ambulatory ability recovery in patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) and/or fractures. METHODS We included 1,353 elderly patients with SCI and/or fractures from 78 institutions in Japan. Patients who required early tracheostomy and ventilator management and those who developed respiratory complications were included in the respiratory dysfunction group, which was further classified into mild and severe respiratory groups based on respiratory weaning management. Patient characteristics, laboratory data, neurological impairment scale scores, complications at injury, and surgical treatment were evaluated. We performed a propensity score-matched analysis to compare neurological outcomes and mobility between groups. RESULTS Overall, 104 patients (7.8%) had impaired respiratory function. In propensity score-matched analysis, the respiratory dysfunction group had a lower home discharge and ambulation rates (p = 0.018, p = 0.001, respectively), and higher rate of severe paralysis (p < 0.001) at discharge. At the final follow-up, the respiratory dysfunction group had a lower ambulation rate (p = 0.004) and higher rate of severe paralysis (p < 0.001). Twenty-six patients with severe disability required respiratory management for up to 6 months post-injury and died of respiratory complications. The mild and severe respiratory dysfunction groups had a high percentage of severe paraplegic cases with low ambulatory ability; there was no significant difference between them. The severe respiratory dysfunction group tended to have a poorer prognosis. CONCLUSION Respiratory dysfunction in elderly patients with SCI and/or cervical fracture in the early post-injury period reflects the severity of the condition and may be a useful prognostic predictor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We present the surgical approaches and short-term (2 years postoperative) results pertaining to circumferential minimally invasive spine surgery (CMIS) with lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) and percutaneous pedicle screw application for adult idiopathic scoliosis (AS). METHODS We enrolled eight patients with AS who underwent CMIS (2018-2020) and examined the number of fused levels, upper instrumented vertebra, lower instrumented vertebra, number of LLIF-treated segments, number of preoperative intervertebral fusions, intraoperative blood loss, operative time, various spinopelvic parameters, Oswestry Disability Index, low back pain, visual analog scale (VAS), leg VAS, bone fusion rate, and perioperative complications. RESULTS The upper instrumented vertebra was T4, T7, T8, and T9 in two cases, whereas lower instrumented vertebra was the pelvis in all the cases. The average numbers of fixed vertebrae and segments that underwent LLIF were 13.3 ± 2.0 and 4.6 ± 0.7, respectively. All spinopelvic parameters improved significantly after surgery (thoracic kyphosis: P < 0.05, lumbar lordosis, cobb angle, pelvic tilt, pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis, sagittal vertical axis: P < 0.001), and good alignment was achieved. The Oswestry Disability Index and VAS scores improved significantly (P < 0.001). The bone fusion rates achieved in the lumbosacral and thoracic spine were 100% and 88%, respectively. Only 1 patient showed postoperative coronal imbalance. CONCLUSIONS The 2-year postoperative results of CMIS for AS were good, and spontaneous bone fusion was confirmed in the thoracic spine without bone grafting. In this procedure, sufficient intervertebral release with LLIF and a percutaneous pedicle screw device translation technique enabled adequate global alignment correction. Therefore, correcting the global imbalance of the coronal and sagittal planes is more crucial than correcting scoliosis.

Abstract
This study aimed to devise measures and investigate their effect on coronal imbalance (CI) after circumferential minimally invasive correction surgery (CMIS) with lateral lumbar interbody fusion and percutaneous pedicle screw for adult spinal deformity (ASD). A total of 115 patients with ASD who underwent CMIS from the lower thoracic spine to the ilium were included. Patients were stratified based on the distance between the spinous process of the upper instrumented vertebra and central sacrum vertical line (UIV-CSVL) after the first intraoperative rod application into groups P (UIV-CSVL > 10 mm, n = 50) and G (UIV-CSVL < 10 mm, n = 65). Measures to correct postoperative CI introduced during surgery, preoperative and postoperative UIV-CSVL, and changes in UIV-CSVL after various measures (ΔUIV-CSVL) were investigated in group P. Rod rotation (RR), S2 alar-iliac screw distraction (SD), and kickstand-rod (KR) technique were performed in group P. Group P was further divided into group RR (n = 38), group SD (RR and SD) (n = 7), and group KR (RR and KR) (n = 5); the ΔUIV-CSVLs were 13.9 mm, 20.1 mm, and 24.4 mm in these three groups, respectively. Postoperative C7-CSVL < 10 mm was achieved in all three correction groups. In conclusion, our measures enabled sufficient correction of the UIV-CSVL and are useful for preventing CI after CMIS for ASD.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the prognosis of elderly patients with injuries related to cervical diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (cDISH) to matched control for each group, with and without fractures. METHODS The current multicenter study was a retrospective analysis of 140 patients aged 65 years or older with cDISH-related cervical spine injuries; 106 fractures and 34 spinal cord injuries without fracture were identified. Propensity score-matched cohorts from 1363 patients without cDISH were generated and compared. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk of early mortality for patients with cDISH-related injury. RESULTS Patients with cDISH-related injuries with fracture did not differ significantly in the incidence of each complication and ambulation or severity of paralysis compared to matched controls. In patients with cDISH-related injury without fracture, those who were nonambulatory at discharge comprised 55% vs 34% of controls, indicating significantly poorer ambulation in those with cDISH-related injuries (P = .023). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications and ambulation or paralysis severity at 6 months as compared with controls. Fourteen patients died within 3 months. Logistic regression analysis identified complete paralysis (odds ratio [OR] 36.99) and age (OR 1.24) as significant risk factors for mortality. CONCLUSIONS The current study showed no significant differences in the incidence of complications, ambulation outcomes between patients with cDISH-related injury with fracture and matched controls, and that the ambulation at discharge for patients with cDISH-related injury without fractures were significantly inferior to those of matched controls.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Reconstruct compound median nerve action currents using magnetoneurography to clarify the physiological characteristics of axonal and volume currents and their relationship to potentials. METHODS The median nerves of both upper arms of five healthy individuals were investigated. The propagating magnetic field of the action potential was recorded using magnetoneurography, reconstructed into a current, and analyzed. The currents were compared with the potentials recorded from multipolar surface electrodes. RESULTS Reconstructed currents could be clearly visualized. Axonal currents flowed forward or backward in the axon, arcing away from the depolarization zone, turning about the subcutaneous volume conductor, and returning to the depolarization zone. The zero-crossing latency of the axonal current was approximately the same as the peak of its volume current and the negative peak of the surface electrode potential. Volume current waveforms were proportional to the derivative of axonal ones. CONCLUSIONS Magnetoneurography allows the visualization and quantitative evaluation of action currents. The currents in axons and in volume conductors could be clearly discriminated with good quality. Their properties were consistent with previous neurophysiological findings. SIGNIFICANCE Magnetoneurography could be a novel tool for elucidating nerve physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The mechanism underlying the generation of P9 far-field somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) is unresolved. Accordingly, we used magnetoneurography to visualize the current distribution in the body at the P9 peak latency and elucidate the origin of P9 generation. METHODS We studied five healthy male volunteers without neurological abnormalities. We recorded far-field SEPs after median nerve stimulation at the wrist to identify the P9 peak latency. Using magnetoneurography, we recorded the evoked magnetic fields in the whole body under the same stimulus conditions as the SEP recording. We analyzed the reconstructed current distribution at the P9 peak latency. RESULTS At the P9 peak latency, we observed the reconstructed current distribution dividing the thorax into two parts, upper and lower. Anatomically, the depolarization site at the P9 peak latency was distal to the interclavicular space and at the level of the second intercostal space. CONCLUSIONS By visualizing the current distribution, we proved that P9 peak latency originates in the change in volume conductor size between the upper and lower thorax. SIGNIFICANCE We clarified that magnetoneurography analysis is affected by the current distribution due to the junction potential.

Abstract
We aimed to retrospectively investigate the demographic characteristics and short-term outcomes of traumatic cervical spine injuries in patients with dementia. We enrolled 1512 patients aged ≥ 65 years with traumatic cervical injuries registered in a multicenter study database. Patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of dementia, and 95 patients (6.3%) had dementia. Univariate analysis revealed that the dementia group comprised patients who were older and predominantly female and had lower body mass index, higher modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5), lower pre-injury activities of daily living (ADLs), and a larger number of comorbidities than patients without dementia. Furthermore, 61 patient pairs were selected through propensity score matching with adjustments for age, sex, pre-injury ADLs, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale score at the time of injury, and the administration of surgical treatment. In the univariate analysis of the matched groups, patients with dementia had significantly lower ADLs at 6 months and a higher incidence of dysphagia up to 6 months than patients without dementia. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients with dementia had a higher mortality than those without dementia until the last follow-up. Dementia was associated with poor ADLs and higher mortality rates after traumatic cervical spine injuries in elderly patients.

Abstract
For older patients with decreased reserve function, traumatic cervical spine injuries frequently lead to early mortality. However, the prognostic factors for early mortality remain unclear. This study included patients aged ≥65 years and hospitalized for treatment of traumatic cervical spine injuries in 78 hospitals between 2010 and 2020. Early mortality was defined as death within 90 days after injury. We evaluated the relationship between early mortality and the following factors: age, sex, body mass index, history of drinking and smoking, injury mechanisms, presence of a cervical spine fracture and dislocation, cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale, concomitant injury, pre-existing comorbidities, steroid administration, and treatment plan. Overall, 1512 patients (mean age, 75.8 ± 6.9 years) were included in the study. The early mortality rate was 4.0%. Multivariate analysis identified older age (OR = 1.1, p < 0.001), male sex (OR = 3.7, p = 0.009), cervical spine fracture (OR = 4.2, p < 0.001), complete motor paralysis (OR = 8.4, p < 0.001), and chronic kidney disease (OR = 5.3, p < 0.001) as risk factors for early mortality. Older age, male sex, cervical spine fracture, complete motor paralysis, and chronic kidney disease are prognostic factors for early mortality in older patients with traumatic cervical spine injuries.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVES To investigate changes over a 10-years period in the profile of cervical spine and spinal cord injuries among the elderly in Japan. METHODS The current multicenter study was a retrospective analysis of inpatients aged ≥65 years, suffering cervical fracture (CF) and/or cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI). We analyzed 1413 patients' epidemiology (from 2010 to 2019). Moreover, 727 patients who underwent surgical treatment were analyzed in 2 groups: the early (2010-2014) and late period (2015-2019). RESULTS Both the number of patients and number of surgical patients showed a significant increasing trend (P < .001), while the mean age, the distribution of injury levels and paralysis severity, and the proportion of surgical indications remained the same. The number of surgical patients doubled from 228 to 499 from the early to late periods. Posterior surgery was the most common approach (90.4%), instrumentation surgery with screws increased significantly, and the range of fusion was significantly longer in the late period (2.1 vs 2.7 levels, P = .001). Significantly worsening neurological symptoms were recorded in the late period (1.3% vs 5.8%, P = .006), with C5 palsy being the major one. Otherwise, perioperative, major, and other complications, including mortality, did not differ significantly in incidence. CONCLUSIONS Both the number of elderly CF and/or CSCI patients and number of patients undergoing surgery increased dramatically over the decade without any change in profile. Instrumentation surgeries with screws increased, without an increase in systemic complications.

A triple minimally invasive surgery combination for subacute osteoporotic lower lumbar vertebral collapse with neurological compromise: a potential alternative to the vertebral corpectomy/expandable cage strategy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Acute/subacute osteoporotic vertebral collapses (OVCs) in the lower lumbar spine with neurological compromise, although far less well documented than those in the thoracolumbar junction, may often pose greater treatment challenges. The authors clarified the utility of 3 familiar combined techniques of minimally invasive surgery for this condition as an alternative to the corpectomy/expandable cage strategy. METHODS This report included the authors' first 5 patients with more than 2 years (range 27-48 months) of follow-up. The patients were between 68 and 91 years of age, and had subacute painful L4 OVC with neurological compromise and preexisting lumbar spinal stenosis. The authors' single-stage minimally invasive surgery combination consisted of the following: step 1, balloon kyphoplasty for the L4 OVC to restore its strength, followed by L4-percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) placement with patients in the prone position; step 2, tubular lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) at the adjacent disc space involved with endplate injury, with patients in the lateral position; and step 3, supplemental PPS-rod fixation with patients in the prone position. RESULTS Estimated blood loss ranged from 20 to 72 mL. Neither balloon kyphoplasty-related nor LLIF-related potentially serious complications occurred. With CT measurements at the 9 LLIF levels, the postoperative increases averaged 3.5 mm in disc height and 3.7 mm in bilateral foraminal heights, which decreased by only 0.2 mm and 0 mm at the latest evaluation despite their low bone mineral densities, with a T-score of -3.8 to -2.6 SD. Canal compromise by fracture retropulsion decreased from 33% to 23% on average. As indicated by MRI measurements, the dural sac progressively enlarged and the ligamentum flavum increasingly shrank over time postoperatively, consistent with functional improvements assessed by the physician-based, patient-centered measures. CONCLUSIONS The advantages of this method over the corpectomy/expandable cage strategy include the following: 1) better anterior column stability with a segmentally placed cage, which reduces stress concentration at the cage footplate-endplate interface as an important benefit for patients with low bone mineral density; 2) indirect decompression through ligamentotaxis caused by whole-segment spine lengthening with LLIF, pushing back both the retropulsed fragments and the disc bulge anteriorly and unbuckling the ligamentum flavum to diminish its volume posteriorly; and 3) eliminating the need for segmental vessel management and easily bleeding direct decompressions. The authors' recent procedural modification eliminated step 3 by performing loose PPS-rod connections in step 1 and their tight locking after LLIF in step 2, reducing to only once the number of times the patient was repositioned.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors and checkpoint inhibitors are effective treatments for solid tumors. These new classes of anti-cancer agents frequently cause kidney-related side effects. Although their anti-cancer effects may be enhanced when used in combination, the severity of their kidney-related side effects is unknown. We herein report the first case of thrombotic microangiopathy and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis caused by combined treatment with atezolizumab and bevacizumab in a 74-year-old man with hepatocellular carcinoma. The combination therapy was discontinued and replaced with intravenous methylprednisolone followed by oral prednisolone. Subsequently, the urinary protein excretion levels declined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) placements in the lumbosacral spine generally rely on fluoroscopy at the expense of radiation exposure. Our accumulated experience in open PS placements without fluoroscopic guidance realized a consistent shift toward PPS insertion with newly developed devices, which require neither fluoroscopy nor navigation. We wish to report our new technique and evaluations of its accuracy. METHODS Our equipment consisted of a pedicle targeting tool to identify and escort the cannulated awl to the correct starting point for cortical bone perforation and a cannulated awl-probe system with a guidewire to maintain the optimal position throughout the subsequent surgical steps. The surgeon could advance the blunt-tipped probe searching for the cancellous bone track using tactile feedback as experienced in open techniques. A 2-year period of transition from a free-hand (1169 screws in 286 patients) to the new PPS technique (1933 screws in 413 patients) allowed accuracy comparison between the two procedures using postoperative CT scans. RESULTS Compared with the open-group, the PPS-group showed a lower rate of fully contained intrapedicular PS placements at L1 through S1, as a whole (90.7% vs 85.4%), but not at L4 through S1 (89.9% vs 90.2%). Less-accurate PPS placements at upper than lower lumbar spines in part reflect intended pedicle perforations laterally as a trade-off for avoiding facet violation immediately above the most cephalad screw. The PPS-group also had a higher incidence of PS-related transient nerve root complications (0% vs 1.7%). These values for the PPS-group, however, fell within those previously reported for free-hand or fluoroscopy techniques. CONCLUSIONS Our new PPS technique, although useful for eliminating the potential risk of repeated radiation exposure, fell short of reaching the accuracy of the free-hand technique. Nerve integrity monitoring with PS stimulation, which we currently use, will help further improve the technical precision. STUDY DESIGN Original Article. The study was approved by our institutional review boad (2,019,231).

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have shown fewer heart failure (HF) hospitalization and cardiovascular death in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with both HF and DM, and we reported SGLT2 suppressed AF recurrence after catheter ablation (CA) than dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor.
Purpose
We evaluated whether SGLT2 itself induces atrial reverse remodeling.
Methods
This is a sub-analysis of a prospective randomized controlled open-label clinical study for comparing the suppressive effect of SGLT2 inhibitor with DPP4 inhibitor on AF recurrence after CA. Eighty AF patients with type-2 DM were randomized to Tofogliflozin group or Anagliptin group with a computer-generated random sequence, which was stratified by left atrial diameter and AF type at screening. Primary outcome is AF recurrence at 12 months after CA, and secondary outcomes include the echocardiographic findings.
Results
70 patients (70.3±8.1 years, 58 male, 30 paroxysmal AF, 38 Tofogliflozin) were analyzed. Recurrent AF was detected in 24 patients (34.3%), and the AF recurrence ratio was higher in the Anagliptin group than the Tofogliflozin group. In 46 patients without AF recurrence (17 Anagliptin, 29 Tofogliflozin), LAVI has shrunk in 12 months compared to the baseline (42.8±11.9 to 36.6±11.2ml/m2) and the reduction of LAVI was larger in Tofogliflozin group than Anagliptin group (−8.6±2.0ml/m2 vs. −2.0±2.6ml/m2, P=0.0471).
Conclusion
Tofogliflozin not only suppressed AF recurrence after CA but also caused atrial reverse remodeling than Anagliptin in type-2 DM patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The management of cervical spine injuries in the elderly is often complicated by the presence of multiple medical comorbidities, and it is not uncommon for preoperative testing to reveal other conditions that require the postponement of surgery. However, the factors that affect the waiting time from injury to surgery have not been clarified. The purpose of this multicenter database study was to analyze the clinical features and identify the factors affecting the number of days waited between injury and surgery in elderly patients with a cervical spine injury. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the case histories of 1512 Japanese patients with a cervical spinal injury, who were seen at 33 institutions. After excluding patients who were not initially receiving a surgery for cervical spinal injury, 694 patients were ultimately analyzed. Based on a multivariate mixed model, we determined the factors related to the number of days from injury to surgery. RESULTS The mean time from injury to surgery was 12.3 days. Multivariate analysis revealed delays of 10.7 days for a renal disorder, 7.3 days for anticoagulant use, and 15.2 days for non-surgical thoracolumbar fracture as factors prolonging wait time. In contrast, a C3 or lower spine injury was significantly associated with a shortening of 9.5 days to surgery. CONCLUSIONS This multicenter database study identified several factors influencing the time between injury and cervical spine surgery in elderly patients. While renal impairment, anticoagulant use, and non-surgical thoracolumbar fracture may increase the number of days to surgery, trauma to C3 or lower may expedite surgical treatment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The 1-year mortality and functional prognoses of patients who received surgery for cervical trauma in the elderly remains unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the rates of, and factors associated with mortality and the deterioration in walking capacity occurring 1 year after spinal fusion surgery for cervical fractures in patients 65 years of age or older.
Methods
Three hundred thirteen patients aged 65 years or more with a traumatic cervical fracture who received spinal fusion surgery were enrolled. The patients were divided into a survival group and a mortality group, or a maintained walking capacity group and a deteriorated walking capacity group. We compared patients’ backgrounds, trauma, and surgical parameters between the two groups. To identify factors associated with mortality or a deteriorated walking capacity 1 year postoperatively, a multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted.
Results
One year postoperatively, the rate of mortality was 8%. A higher Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) score, a more severe the American Spinal Cord Injury Association impairment scale (AIS), and longer surgical time were identified as independent factors associated with an increase in 1-year mortality. The rate of deterioration in walking capacity between pre-trauma and 1 year postoperatively was 33%. A more severe AIS, lower albumin (Alb) and hemoglobin (Hb) values, and a larger number of fused segments were identified as independent factors associated with the increased risk of deteriorated walking capacity 1 year postoperatively.
Conclusions
The 1-year rate of mortality after spinal fusion surgery for cervical fracture in patients 65 years of age or older was 8%, and its associated factors were a higher CCI score, a more severe AIS, and a longer surgical time. The rate of deterioration in walking capacity was 33%, and its associated factors were a more severe AIS, lower Alb, lower Hb values, and a larger number of fused segments.

Abstract
Introduction In elderly patients with cervical spinal cord injury, comorbidities such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases are common, with frequent administration of antiplatelet/anticoagulant (APAC) drugs. Such patients may bleed easily or unexpectedly during surgery despite prior withdrawal of APAC medication. Few reports have examined the precise relationship between intraoperative blood loss and history of APAC use regarding surgery for cervical spine injury in the elderly. The present multicenter database survey aimed to answer the question of whether the use of APAC drugs affected the amount of intraoperative blood loss in elderly patients with cervical spinal cord trauma. Methods The case histories of 1512 patients with cervical spine injury at 33 institutes were retrospectively reviewed. After excluding cases without spinal surgery or known blood loss volume, 797 patients were enrolled. Blood volume loss was the outcome of interest. We calculated propensity scores using the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) method. As an alternative sensitivity analysis, linear mixed model analyses were conducted as well. Results Of the 776 patients (mean age: 75.1±6.4 years) eligible for IPTW calculation, 157 (20.2%) were taking APAC medications before the injury. After weighting, mean estimated blood loss was 204 mL for non-APAC patients and 215 mL for APAC patients. APAC use in elderly patients was not significantly associated with surgical blood loss according to the IPTW method with propensity scoring or linear mixed model analyses. Thus, it appeared possible to perform surgery expecting comparable blood loss in APAC and non-APAC cases. Conclusions This multicenter study revealed no significant increase in surgical blood loss in elderly patients with cervical trauma taking APAC drugs. Surgeons may be able to prioritize patient background, complications, and preexisting conditions over APAC use before injury when examining the surgical indications for cervical spine trauma in the elderly.

Abstract
Lumbar hernias are extremely rare. The posterolateral abdominal wall has two susceptible areas - the superior (Grynfeltt-Lesshaft's triangle) and the inferior (Petit's triangle) lumbar triangles - that cause superior and inferior lumbar hernias, respectively. We herein report a 67-year-old woman with nephrotic-range proteinuria caused by primary superior lumbar hernia. Superior lumbar hernias should be considered as a differential disease causing massive orthostatic proteinuria in adults. The present case highlights the importance of considering lumbar hernia in patients with flank swelling and the potential complications that may result from a missed diagnosis.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. OBJECTIVES To investigate the neurological outcomes of older individuals treated with surgery versus conservative treatment for cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) without bone injury. SETTING Thirty-three medical institutions in Japan. METHODS This study included 317 consecutive persons aged ≥65 years with CSCI without bone injury in participating institutes between 2010 and 2020. The participants were followed up for at least 6 months after the injury. Individuals were divided into surgery (n = 114) and conservative treatment (n = 203) groups. To compare neurological outcomes and complications between the groups, propensity score matching of the baseline factors (characteristics, comorbidities, and neurological function) was performed. RESULTS After propensity score matching, the surgery and conservative treatment groups comprised 89 individuals each. Surgery was performed at a median of 9.0 (3-17) days after CSCI. Baseline factors were comparable between groups, and the standardized difference in the covariates in the matched cohort was <10%. The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale grade and ASIA motor score (AMS) 6 months after injury and changes in the AMS from baseline to 6 months after injury were not significantly different between groups (P = 0.63, P = 0.24, and P = 0.75, respectively). Few participants who underwent surgery demonstrated perioperative complications such as dural tear (1.1%), surgical site infection (2.2%), and C5 palsy (5.6%). CONCLUSION Conservative treatment is suggested to be a more favorable option for older individuals with CSCI without bone injuries, but this finding requires further validation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The anterior column realignment (ACR) procedure, which consists of sectioning the anterior longitudinal ligament/annulus and placing a hyperlordotic interbody cage, has emerged as a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for achieving aggressive segmental lordosis enhancement to address adult spinal deformity (ASD). Although accumulated evidence has revealed indirect neural decompression after lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF), whether ACR serves equally well for neural decompression remains to be proven. The current study intended to clarify this ambiguous issue. METHODS A series of 36 ASD patients with spinopelvic mismatch, defined as pelvic incidence (PI) minus lumbar lordosis (LL) > 10°, underwent a combination of ACR, LLIF, and percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) fixation. This "MIS triad" procedure was applied over short segments with mean fusion length of 3.3 levels, and most patients underwent single-level ACR. The authors analyzed full-length standing radiographs, CT and MRI scans, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores in patients with minimum 1 year of follow-up (mean [range] 20.3 [12-39] months). RESULTS Compared with the preoperative values, the radiographic and MRI measurements of the latest postoperative studies changed as follows. Segmental disc angle more than quadrupled at the ACR level and LL nearly doubled. MRI examinations at the ACR level revealed a significant (p < 0.0001) increase in the area of the dural sac that was accompanied by significant (p < 0.0001) decreases in area and thickness of the ligamentum flavum and in thickness of the disc bulge. The corresponding CT scans demonstrated significant (all p < 0.0001) increases in disc height to 280% of the preoperative value at the anterior edge, 224% at the middle edge, and 209% at the posterior edge, as well as in pedicle-to-pedicle distance to 122%. Mean ODI significantly (p < 0.0001) decreased from 46.3 to 26.0. CONCLUSIONS The CT-based data showing vertebral column lengthening across the entire ACR segment with an increasingly greater degree anteriorly suggest that the corrective action of ACR relies on a lever mechanism, with the intact facet joints acting as the fulcrum. Whole-segment spine lengthening at the ACR level reduced the disc bulge anteriorly and the ligamentum flavum posteriorly, with eventual enlargement of the dural sac. ACR plays an important role in not only LL restoration but also stenotic spinal canal enlargement for ASD surgery.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the process and morphology of thoracic and lumbosacral bone fusion in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) who underwent circumferential minimally invasive spine surgery (CMIS) by lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) and percutaneous pedicle screws (PPSs) without bone grafting in the thoracic spine and who have risk factors for bone fusion failure in the thoracic spine. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 61 patients with spinal deformities (46 women and 15 men) who underwent CMIS with LLIF and PPSs at our hospital after 2016 and completed a 3-year postoperative follow-up. The rate and morphology of bone fusion and rod fracture rate in the thoracic and lumbosacral vertebrae were evaluated. Patients were divided into the thoracic spine spontaneous bone fusion group and the bone fusion failure group. The data of various spinopelvic parameters and the incidence of complications were compared. The vertebral body conditions in the thoracic spine were classified as less degenerative (type N), osteophyte (type O), and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) (type D). Results: After three postoperative years, the bone fusion rates were 54%, 95%, and 89% for the thoracic, lumbar, and lumbosacral spine, respectively. Screw loosening in the thoracic vertebrae was significantly higher in the bone fusion failure group, while no significant differences were observed in the spinopelvic parameters, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and rate of proximal junctional kyphosis and rod fractures. Type N vertebral body condition and screw loosening were identified as risk factors for spontaneous bone fusion failure in the thoracic spine. Conclusion: This study indicated that spontaneous bone fusion is likely to be obtained without screw loosening, and even if bone fusion is not obtained, there is no effect on clinical results with the mid-term (3-year) results of CMIS without bone grafting in the thoracic spine.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Spinal minimally invasive surgery (MIS) experts at the university hospital worked as a team to develop a new treatment algorithm for pyogenic spondylodiscitis in lumbar and thoracic spines. They modified a flow chart introduced for this condition in a pre-MIS era to incorporate MIS techniques based on their extensive experiences accumulated over the years, both in MIS for degenerative lumbar diseases and in the treatment of spine infections. The MIS procedures incorporated in this algorithm consisted of percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS)–rod fixation and transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF). The current study analyzed a series of 34 patients treated with prospective selection of the methods according to this new algorithm. Materials and Methods: The algorithm first divided the patients into those who had escaped complicated disease conditions, such as neurologic impairment, extensive bone destruction, and the need to be mobilized without delay (Group 1) (19), and those with complicated pyogenic spondylodiscitis (Group 2) (15). Group 1 had image-guided needle biopsy followed by conservative treatment alone with antibiotics and a spinal brace (12) (Group 1-A) or a subsequent addition of non-fused PPS–rod fixation (7) (Group 1-B). Group 2 underwent an immediate single-stage MIS with non-fused PPS–rod fixation followed by posterior exposure for decompression and debridement through a small midline incision (12) (Group 2-A) or an additional LLIF procedure after an interval of 3 weeks (3) (Group 2-B). Results: All patients, except four, who either died from causes unrelated to the spondylodiscitis (2) or became lost to follow up (2), were cured of infection with normalized CRP at an average follow up of 606 days (105–1522 days). A solid interbody fusion occurred at the affected vertebrae in 15 patients (50%). Of the patients in Group 2, all but two regained a nearly normal function. Despite concerns about non-fused PPS–rod instrumentation, only seven patients (21%) required implant removal or replacement. Conclusions: Non-fused PPS–rod placements into infection-free vertebrae alone or in combination with posterior debridement through a small incision worked effectively in providing local stabilization without contamination of the metal implant from the infected tissue. MIS LLIF allowed for direct access to the infected focus for bone grafting in cases of extensive vertebral body destruction.

Abstract
Liposome-encapsulated hemoglobin vesicles (HbV) can serve as a blood substitute with oxygen-carrying capacity comparable to that of human blood and lethal hemorrhage is associated with lethal arrhythmias. To investigate the resuscitation effect of HbV on lethal hemorrhage and anti-arrhythmogenesis, we performed optical mapping analysis (OMP) and electrophysiological study (EPS) in graded blood exchange (85% blood loss) in the rat model. We also measured cardiac autonomic activity, as assessed by heart rate variability (HRV), and changes in plasma norepinephrine and left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) by echocardiography. Pathological study on Connexin43 was performed. A 5% albumin (ALB group), washed rat erythrocytes (wRBC group), and HbV (HbV group) were used as a resuscitation fluid. The survival effects over 24 hours were examined. All rats died in the ALB group, whereas almost all survived for 24-hours period in wRBC and HbV groups. OMP showed impaired action potential duration dispersion (APDd) in the ALB group, whereas normal APDs in HbV and wRBC groups. Lethal arrhythmias were induced by EPS in the ALB group, but not in wRBC and HbV groups. HRV indices, LVEF, Connexin43 were preserved in HbV and wRBC groups. Lethal hemorrhage causes lethal arrhythmias in the presence of impaired APDd. HbV acutely rescues lethal hemorrhage by preventing lethal arrhythmias and preserving arrhythmogenic factors.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Left atrial appendage thrombi (LAAT), especially movable type LAAT, have been reported to be high-risk for thromboembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, thromboembolic risk of the movable-type LAAT under widespread use of anticoagulant therapy remains unclear.
Methods
We retrospectively studied 65 LAAT patients taking anticoagulants out of 1381 consecutive patients who underwent transthoracic echocardiography prior to cardioversion or catheter ablation for AF. Patients with significant valvular disease and coagulation disorder were excluded. Clinical data were evaluated at the time of TEE. The LAAT were classified into movable and fixed type LAAT by three independent observers.
Results
Sixteen of 65 LAAT patients showed movable type LAAT. During follow-up (42±34 months), one patient underwent emergency thrombectomy, 5 patients developed thromboembolic event, and 12 patients died. There were no differences in clinical data, parameters, thrombectomy/thromboembolic event, and survival rate between patients with movable and fixed type LAAT.
Conclusion
Thromboembolic risk of the movable-type LAAT is the same as fixed type LAAT, under widespread use of anticoagulant therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The abnormal conduction zone (ACZ) in the left atrium (LA) has attracted attention as an arrhythmia substrate in atrial fibrillation (AF).
Purpose
We investigated whether the ACZ affects outcomes after catheter ablation (CA) for AF.
Methods
We studied 78 patients (42 Non-paroxysmal AF, 49 males, and 68±10 years) who received CA for AF. High-density LA mapping during high right atrial pacing was constructed gaining than 2000 points (average 4377±846 points). Isochronal activation maps created at 5-ms interval setting. ACZ was identified by locating a site with isochronal crowding of ≥3 isochrones, and ≥8 isochrones were defined as the conduction block zone (CBZ) in a 4-mm diameter tag (conduction velocity were calculated as ≤27 cm/s and≤10 cm/s, respectively).
Result
Recurrent AF was detected in 25/78 patients (32%) during the follow-up period (9.2±3.0 month). ACZ and CBZ were distributed linearly, and ACZ was observed in 73 of 78 patients and 8 of these 73 patients had the CBZ. Univariate analysis revealed that elevated body mass index (26.2±3.8 vs. 24.3±3.3 kg/m2, P=0.0303), the higher prevalence of non-paroxysmal AF (72% vs. 45%, P=0.0272), larger LA diameter (47.6±6.6 vs. 42.1±6.9 mm, P=0.0014), and longer length of ACZ (79.7±45.1 vs. 52.9±35.7 mm, P=0.0058) were associated with recurrent AF after CA. On multivariate analysis, longer ACZ was independently associated with recurrent AF. Moreover, patients with longer ACZ (cutoff value: 84 mm) had a higher risk of recurrent AF than shorter ACZ (12/22; 55% vs 13/56; 23%, log-rank P=0.0024).
Conclusion
The length of ACZ was associated with recurrent AF after CA.

Abstract
The current pandemic of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has highlighted the importance of disinfectants. As a raw material for next-generation disinfectants, scallop shell-derived calcium oxide (CaO) has been revealed to exhibit significant virucidal and microbicidal activities and is compatible with living tissues and the environment. This minireview summarizes recent progress in the development of disinfectants from scallop shell-CaO, focusing especially on studies of clinical and daily use applications. We describe the preparation, basic characteristics, and virucidal and microbicidal activities of scallop shell-CaO disinfectants. Furthermore, their applications in the disinfection of contaminated masks and the treatment of infected wounds are briefly introduced.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis. Early brain biopsy is essential to avoid a diagnostic delay. To date, reports of successful diagnosis for PCNSL of the corpus callosum by endoscopic biopsy are rare. CASE PRESENTATION Herein, we report the case of an elderly woman with PCNSL of the corpus callosum who initially presented with rapidly progressive dementia. The condition was finally diagnosed by microscopic biopsy after unsuccessful endoscopic biopsy. Moreover, the postoperative course was uneventful. She is currently receiving systemic chemotherapy. CLINICAL DISCUSSION Early diagnosis and subsequent systemic chemotherapy with or without whole brain radiotherapy are critical for PCNSL. Endoscopic biopsy may be a diagnostic option for suspected PCNSL, although stereotactic needle biopsy is most commonly used. CONCLUSION Utilizing neuronavigation and 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) fluorescence guidance could be helpful in identifying lesions insufficiently exposed by endoscopic visualization. However, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) loss due to the endoscopic approach through the ventricle might be a cause of neuronavigation misregistration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Only a few studies have investigated epidemiological and clinicopathological information regarding pediatric and adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with renal disease. The purpose of this study was to clarify the differences and relationship of clinicopathological findings between pediatric and AYA patients using the Japan Renal Biopsy Registry (J-RBR). METHODS This cross-sectional study analyzed data from patients registered in the J-RBR between 2007 and 2017. Clinicopathological findings at diagnosis were analyzed for 3,463 pediatric (age < 15 years) and 6,532 AYA (age 15-30 years) patients. RESULTS Although chronic nephritic syndrome was the most common clinical diagnosis at age > 5 years, nephrotic syndrome was the most frequent diagnosis at age < 4 years. The most common pathological diagnosis as classified by pathogenesis in pediatric patients was primary glomerular disease (except IgA nephropathy), whereas IgA nephropathy was increased in AYA patients. Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis was the most common pathological diagnosis as classified by histopathology in both pediatric and AYA patients. Minor glomerular abnormalities were the most frequent histopathologic diagnoses of nephrotic syndrome in childhood, but their frequency decreased with age. CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of clinicopathological features of pediatric and AYA patients in a large nationwide registry of renal biopsy. There were differences of clinical, pathological and histopathologic findings between pediatric and AYA patients.

Background
Direct thrombin inhibitors (DTIs) unlike factor Xa-inhibitors (Xa-inhibitors) is associated with fewer bleeding complications than warfarin in patients who had catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the mechanisms remains unclear, and activated clotting time (ACT) is used to control heparin-dose for thromboembolic prevention during CA. Methods: We retrospectively studied 543 patients taking direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) who underwent CA for AF (375 males, age 67 ± 10, 251 non-paroxysmal AF, 142 DTIs). Patients with off-label usage of DOAC were excluded. ACT was measured before (Pre-ACT) and after (post-ACT) initial heparin administration (3000U + 100U/kg), and total heparin-dose was evaluated. Results: Pre-ACT and post-ACT were extended in patients with DTIs (150 ± 21 vs 123 ± 15; P < 0.0001 and 322 ± 39 vs 309 ± 42 sec; P = 0.0013). Patients with Xa-inhibitors required higher total heparin-dose (199 ± 43 vs 175 ± 34 U/kg; P < 0.0001). During and after CA, none had thromboembolic events and 14 patients (3 DTIs, 11 Xa-inhibitor) showed bleeding events (Figure). Conclusions: ACT is extended in patients taking DTIs. Xa-inhibitors might have anticoagulant effects which are not reflected in ACT. Abstract Figure.
