Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospital-acquired functional decline (HAFD) is a new predictor of poor prognosis in hospitalized older patients. AIMS We aimed to assess the impact of HAFD on the prognosis of older cardiac surgical patients 2 years after discharge. METHODS This multicenter prospective cohort study assessed 293 patients with cardiac disease aged ≥ 65 years who underwent cardiac surgery at 7 Japanese hospitals between June 2017 and June 2018. The primary endpoint was the composite outcome of cardiovascular-related readmission and all-cause mortality 2 years after discharge. HAFD was assessed using the total Short Physical Performance Battery at hospital discharge. RESULTS The primary outcome was observed in 17.3% of the 254 included patients, and HAFD was significantly associated with the primary outcome. Female sex (hazard ratio [HR], 2.451; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.232-4.878; P = 0.011), hemoglobin level (HR, 0.839; 95% CI 0.705-0.997; P = 0.046), preoperative frailty (HR, 2.391; 95% CI 1.029-5.556; P = 0.043), and HAFD (HR, 2.589; 95% CI 1.122-5.976; P = 0.026) were independently associated with the primary outcome. The incidence rate of HAFD was 22%, with female sex (odds ratio [OR], 1.912; 95% CI 1.049-3.485; P = 0.034), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR, 3.958; 95% CI 1.413-11.086; P = 0.009), and the time interval (days) between surgery and the start of ambulation (OR, 1.260, 95% CI 1.057-1.502; P = 0.010) identified as significant factors. DISCUSSION HAFD was found to be an independent prognostic determinant of the primary outcome 2 years after discharge. CONCLUSION HAFD prevention should be prioritized in the hospital care of older cardiac surgery patients.

Abstract
Objective Olfactory dysfunction is an important clinical feature in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The incidence and extent of olfactory dysfunction are reportedly higher in secondary progressive (SP) MS than in relapsing and remitting (RR) MS. We investigated the use of olfactory dysfunction for evaluating the disease status of Japanese patients with MS. Methods Olfactory identification was evaluated using the Odor Stick Identification Test for the Japanese (OSIT-J) in patients with RRMS (n=40) and SPMS (n=11) and compared the findings with those of healthy controls (n=40). Patients with RRMS for more than 10 years (L-RRMS, n=10) were included in the RRMS group. The cognitive function was evaluated using the Japanese version of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, 3rd edition. The third ventricle width (3rd VW) was measured as a marker of central brain atrophy using magnetic resonance imaging. Results SPMS patients had significantly lower OSIT-J scores than RRMS and L-RRMS patients. More SPMS patients had OSIT-J scores below the lower limit of the normal score (LLN) than RRMS patients. The LLN effectively discriminated between RRMS and SPMS (sensitivity 70%, specificity 91.5%, area under the curve 0.933, 95% confidence interval 0.874-1.000). Patients with SPMS had a significantly lower processing speed and larger 3rd VW than those with RRMS or L-RRMS. Conclusion The olfactory dysfunction was worse, along with cognitive impairment and brain atrophy, in SPMS patients than in RRMS patients, independent of disease duration, in our Japanese population. This directly reflected the disease progression and may have been able to distinguish SPMS from RRMS, independent of ethnic and cultural background.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cardiac surgery for older patients, postoperative functional decline and the need for long-term care have received increasing attention as essential outcomes in recent years. Therefore, prevention of functional decline and long-term care dependency after cardiac surgery are important; however, our current understanding of postoperative functional trajectory and effects of postoperative regular exercise on long-term functional decline and long-term care dependency is limited. Therefore, we will conduct a multicentre, prospective cohort study to (1) examine the effect of hospital-acquired disability on long-term functional decline and long-term care dependency and (2) investigate the favourable effect of postoperative regular exercise on long-term functional decline and long-term care dependency in older patients after cardiac surgery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We designed a prospective, multicentre cohort study to enrol older patients aged≥65 years undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft or valve surgery. We will conduct medical record reviews to collect data on patient demographics, comorbidities, operative details, progression of in-hospital postoperative cardiac rehabilitation and functional trajectory from a few days before cardiac surgery to the day before hospital discharge. They will be followed up for 2 years to obtain information on their health status including functional status, regular exercise and clinical events by mail. Primary endpoints of this study are long-term functional decline and long-term care dependency after cardiac surgery. Secondary endpoints are readmission due to cardiac events or all-cause mortality. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health Science, Juntendo University, and of each collaborating hospital. We obtained written informed consent from all study participants after the description of the study procedures. Publication of the study results is anticipated in 2025.

Abstract
The most recent version of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity, larynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx was published in 2020. It was therefore decided by both the ESMO and the Korean Society of Medical Oncology (KSMO) to convene a special, virtual guidelines meeting in July 2021 to adapt the ESMO 2020 guidelines to consider the potential ethnic differences associated with the treatment of SCCs of the head and neck (SCCHN) in Asian patients. These guidelines represent the consensus opinions reached by experts in the treatment of patients with SCCHN (excluding nasopharyngeal carcinomas) representing the oncological societies of Korea (KSMO), China (CSCO), India (ISMPO), Japan (JSMO), Malaysia (MOS), Singapore (SSO) and Taiwan (TOS). The voting was based on scientific evidence and was independent of the current treatment practices and drug access restrictions in the different Asian countries. The latter was discussed when appropriate. This manuscript provides a series of expert recommendations (Clinical Practice Guidelines) which can be used to provide guidance to health care providers and clinicians for the optimisation of the diagnosis, treatment and management of patients with SCC of the oral cavity, larynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx across Asia.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To investigate how changing the injection duration at cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) affects contrast enhancement in newborns and infants. METHODS Included were 142 newborns and infants with confirmed congenital heart disease who underwent CCTA between January 2015 and December 2018. In group 1 (n = 71 patients), the injection duration was 8 s; in group 2 (n = 71) it was 16 s. Our findings were assessed by one-to-one matching analysis to estimate the propensity score of each patient. We compare the CT number for the pulmonary artery (PA), ascending aorta (AAO), left superior vena cava (SVC), AAO and PA enhancement ratio, and the scores for visualization between the two groups. RESULTS In group 1, median CT number and ranges was 345 (211-591) HU in the AAO, 324 (213-567) HU in the PA, and 62 (1-70) HU in the SVC. These values were 465 (308-669) HU, 467 (295-638) HU, and 234 (67-443) HU, respectively, in group 2 (p < 0.05). The median score for volume-rendering visualization on 3D images of the CCTA was 2 in group 1 and 3 in group 2; the score for visualization of the left SVC of the maximum intensity projection images was 2 in group 1 and 3 in group 2 (p < 0.05). The CT number for the AAO and PA enhancement ratio was 15.2 in group 1 and 9.2 in group 2 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The 16-sec injection protocol yielded significantly higher CT numbers for the AAO, PA, and the SVC than the 8-sec injection protocol; the visualization scores were also significantly higher in group 2. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE In newborns and infants, the longer injection time for CCTA yields stable and higher contrast enhancement at identical CM concentrations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To compare the computed tomography (CT) number for paediatric cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and visualisation score of the three-dimensional (3D) images using the conventional T-shaped extended tube (T-tube) and spiral flow-generating extended tube (spiral-tube) connected between the contrast injector and cannula. METHODS In total, 108 patients suspected to have congenital heart disease (CHD) were considered for inclusion. We utilised the T-tube for intravenous contrast and spiral-tube in 54 patients each. Observers individually inspected randomized volume rendering images of the internal thoracic artery, each acquired from the with or without spiral-tube groups, using a four-point scale. We compared the mean CT number of the ascending aorta (AAO) and pulmonary artery (PA), contrast noise ratio (CNR), CT number for the AAO and PA enhancement ratio, and the visualisation scores between the groups. RESULTS There were no significant differences in patient characteristics between the with or without spiral-tube groups (p > 0.05). The mean CT number ±standard deviation for the AAO and PA, and the CNR without or with spiral-tube groups were 441.2 ± 89.2 and 489.8 ± 86.1 HU for the AAO, 436.3 ± 100.6 and 475.3 ± 85.2 HU for the PA, and 9.5 ± 2.2 and 10.8 ± 2.4 for the CNR, respectively (p < 0.05). In the spiral-tube group, the CT number, CNR, and visualisations score of the 3D images were significantly higher for the AAO and PA than those in the T-tube group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The spiral-tube proved to be beneficial in improving the CT number for the AAO and PA, CNR, and visualisation score compared with the conventional T-tube during paediatric CCTA. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The spiral-tube may allow the visualisation of smaller blood vessels than those visualised by the conventional T-tube for paediatric patients in CCTA.

Abstract
AIM The effect of changes in physical performance during the perioperative period on the prognosis of older patients undergoing cardiac surgery has not been studied in detail. This study aimed to investigate the effect of perioperative changes in physical performance on the prognosis of older patients undergoing cardiac surgery. METHODS A total of 223 patients were graded as either frail or non-frail according to a cutoff score of 9 based on preoperative Short Physical Performance Battery scores. The non-frail patients were further grouped into high, recovery, or decreased score groups, depending on their score at the time of discharge compared with preoperative scores. Basic characteristics, preoperative and postoperative clinical data, 6-month post-discharge mortality, readmission rates, and vital function (Kihon Checklist scores) were compared. RESULTS In total, 16.1% of patients were in the frail group, while 18.4%, 35.4%, and 30.1% were in the decreased, recovery, and high score groups, respectively. The Short Physical Performance Battery scores in the decreased group were significantly lower at discharge, and the rate of readmission was significantly higher (17.7%, P < 0.05). In addition, the Kihon Checklist scores were significantly lower than the preoperative scores (5.7 ± 4.0 vs 8.6 ± 5.5, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both preoperative and postoperative physical performance must be considered when predicting the prognosis of older patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeting the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) axis has demonstrated clinical benefit in recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). Combining immunotherapies targeting PD-L1 and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) has shown evidence of additive activity in several tumor types. This phase III study evaluated the efficacy of durvalumab (an anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody) or durvalumab plus tremelimumab (an anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody) versus standard of care (SoC) in R/M HNSCC patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were randomly assigned to receive 1 : 1 : 1 durvalumab (10 mg/kg every 2 weeks [q2w]), durvalumab plus tremelimumab (durvalumab 20 mg/kg q4w plus tremelimumab 1 mg/kg q4w × 4, then durvalumab 10 mg/kg q2w), or SoC (cetuximab, a taxane, methotrexate, or a fluoropyrimidine). The primary end points were overall survival (OS) for durvalumab versus SoC, and OS for durvalumab plus tremelimumab versus SoC. Secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate, and duration of response. RESULTS Patients were randomly assigned to receive durvalumab (n = 240), durvalumab plus tremelimumab (n = 247), or SoC (n = 249). No statistically significant improvements in OS were observed for durvalumab versus SoC [hazard ratio (HR): 0.88; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.72-1.08; P = 0.20] or durvalumab plus tremelimumab versus SoC (HR: 1.04; 95% CI: 0.85-1.26; P = 0.76). The 12-month survival rates (95% CI) were 37.0% (30.9-43.1), 30.4% (24.7-36.3), and 30.5% (24.7-36.4) for durvalumab, durvalumab plus tremelimumab, and SoC, respectively. Treatment-related adverse events (trAEs) were consistent with previous reports. The most common trAEs (any grade) were hypothyroidism for durvalumab and durvalumab plus tremelimumab (11.4% and 12.2%, respectively), and anemia (17.5%) for SoC. Grade ≥3 trAE rates were 10.1%, 16.3%, and 24.2% for durvalumab, durvalumab plus tremelimumab, and SoC, respectively. CONCLUSION There were no statistically significant differences in OS for durvalumab or durvalumab plus tremelimumab versus SoC. However, higher survival rates at 12 to 24 months and response rates demonstrate clinical activity for durvalumab. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02369874.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pharmacological prevention against relapses in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is developing rapidly. We aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of rituximab, an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, against relapses in patients with NMOSD. METHODS We did a multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial at eight hospitals in Japan. Patients aged 16-80 years with NMOSD who were seropositive for aquaporin 4 (AQP4) antibody, were taking 5-30 mg/day oral steroids, and had an Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 7·0 or less were eligible for the study. Individuals taking any other immunosuppressants were excluded. Participants were randomly allocated (1:1) either rituximab or placebo by a computer-aided dynamic random allocation system. The doses of concomitant steroid (converted to equivalent doses of prednisolone) and relapses in previous 2 years were set as stratification factors. Participants and those assessing outcomes were unaware of group assignments. Rituximab (375 mg/m2) was administered intravenously every week for 4 weeks, then 6-month interval dosing was done (1000 mg every 2 weeks, at 24 weeks and 48 weeks after randomisation). A matching placebo was administered intravenously. Concomitant oral prednisolone was gradually reduced to 2-5 mg/day, according to the protocol. The primary outcome was time to first relapse within 72 weeks. Relapses were defined as patient-reported symptoms or any new signs consistent with CNS lesions and attributable objective changes in MRI or visual evoked potential. The primary analysis was done in the full analysis set (all randomly assigned patients) and safety analyses were done in the safety analysis set (all patients who received at least one infusion of assigned treatment). The primary analysis was by intention-to-treat principles. This trial is registered with the UMIN clinical trial registry, UMIN000013453. FINDINGS Between May 10, 2014, and Aug 15, 2017, 38 participants were recruited and randomly allocated either rituximab (n=19) or placebo (n=19). Three (16%) patients assigned rituximab discontinued the study and were analysed as censored cases. Seven (37%) relapses occurred in patients allocated placebo and none were recorded in patients assigned rituximab (group difference 36·8%, 95% CI 12·3-65·5; log-rank p=0·0058). Eight serious adverse events were recorded, four events in three (16%) patients assigned rituximab (lumbar compression fracture and infection around nail of right foot [n=1], diplopia [n=1], and uterine cancer [n=1]) and four events in two (11%) people allocated to placebo (exacerbation of glaucoma and bleeding in the right eye chamber after surgery [n=1], and visual impairment and asymptomatic white matter brain lesion on MRI [n=1]); all patients recovered. No deaths were reported. INTERPRETATION Rituximab prevented relapses for 72 weeks in patients with NMOSD who were AQP4 antibody-positive. This study is limited by its small sample size and inclusion of participants with mild disease activity. However, our results suggest that rituximab could be useful maintenance therapy for individuals with NMOSD who are AQP4 antibody-positive.

Abstract
Transposable element (TE) marker system was developed considering the useful properties of the transposable elements such as their large number in the animal and plant genomes, high rate of insertion polymorphism, and ease of detection. Various methods have been employed for developing a large number of TE markers in several crop plants for genomics studies. Here we describe some of these methods including the recent whole genome search. We also review the application of TE markers in molecular breeding.

Abstract
OBJECTS The aim of this study was to determine the association between underweight or obese status and hospital- acquired functional decline (HAFD) following cardiovascular surgery. METHODS We performed a retrospective, observational, multicenter cohort study of cardiovascular surgery patients between April, 2010, and June, 2017. Body mass index (BMI) was categorized into four classes: underweight group (< 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight group (18.5 to < 25 kg/m2), overweight group (25 to < 30 kg/m2), and obese group (≥ 30 kg/m2). HAFD was defined as a decrease of at least one point on the short physical performance battery score at discharge, compared with the preoperative score. RESULTS A total of 3,850 adult patients were included in the analysis data set (median age 72 years, 35% female). A total of 811 (21.0%) patients demonstrated HAFD: 27.2% in the underweight group, 21.3% in the normal weight group, 18.8% in the overweight group, and 19.3% in the obese group. The relative risk for HAFD was 1.381 (95% CI 1.052-1.814) for the underweight group versus the normal weight group, although that is comparable to the obese group after adjustment by confounding factors. Analyses of subgroup interactions showed that the relative risk of HAFD in the obese group compared with the normal group was higher in patients with muscle wasting (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION HAFD was significantly worse for underweight patients following cardiovascular surgery. In contrast, obese status was not associated with HAFD, exclusive of the obese patients with muscle wasting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery. The aim of this multicenter study was to determine the relationship between POAF and patients' progress in early rehabilitation after heart valve surgery. METHODS We enrolled 302 patients (mean age, 69±10 years) who had undergone heart valve surgery. POAF was monitored using continuous electrocardiogram telemetry, and the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) was used to assess lower-extremity function before surgery and at the time of discharge. Progress in early rehabilitation was evaluated by the duration from the surgery to independent walking. We determined factors associated delayed early rehabilitation and evaluated the interplay of POAF and delayed early rehabilitation in increasing the risk of decline in lower-extremity function from preoperatively to hospital discharge. RESULTS Multivariate analysis determined POAF to be independent predictors of delayed early rehabilitation after heart valve surgery (OR: 3.906, P = .01). The association between delayed early rehabilitation and decline in lower extremity function was stronger in patients with POAF (OR: 2.73, P = .041) than in those without (OR: 2.22, P = .052). CONCLUSIONS POAF was clinical predictors of delayed early rehabilitation in patients undergoing heart valve surgery. The combination of POAF with delayed early rehabilitation conferred a high risk of decline in lower-extremity function during hospitalization.

Abstract
Background In the phase III LUX-Head & Neck 1 (LUX-H&N1) trial, second-line afatinib significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) versus methotrexate in patients with recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). Here, we evaluated association of prespecified biomarkers with efficacy outcomes in LUX-H&N1. Patients and methods Randomized patients with R/M HNSCC and progression following ≥2 cycles of platinum therapy received afatinib (40 mg/day) or methotrexate (40 mg/m2/week). Tumor/serum samples were collected at study entry for patients who volunteered for inclusion in biomarker analyses. Tumor biomarkers, including p16 (prespecified subgroup; all tumor subsites), EGFR, HER2, HER3, c-MET and PTEN, were assessed using tissue microarray cores and slides; serum protein was evaluated using the VeriStrat® test. Biomarkers were correlated with efficacy outcomes. Results Of 483 randomized patients, 326 (67%) were included in the biomarker analyses; baseline characteristics were consistent with the overall study population. Median PFS favored afatinib over methotrexate in patients with p16-negative [2.7 versus 1.6 months; HR 0.70 (95% CI 0.50-0.97)], EGFR-amplified [2.8 versus 1.5 months; HR 0.53 (0.33-0.85)], HER3-low [2.8 versus 1.8 months; HR 0.57 (0.37-0.88)], and PTEN-high [1.6 versus 1.4 months; HR 0.55 (0.29-1.05)] tumors. Afatinib also improved PFS in combined subsets of patients with p16-negative and EGFR-amplified tumors [2.7 versus 1.5 months; HR 0.47 (0.28-0.80)], and patients with p16-negative tumors who were EGFR therapy-naïve [4.0 versus 2.4 months; HR 0.55 (0.31-0.98)]. PFS was improved in afatinib-treated patients who were VeriStrat 'Good' versus 'Poor' [2.7 versus 1.5 months; HR 0.71 (0.49-0.94)], but no treatment interaction was observed. Afatinib improved tumor response versus methotrexate in all subsets analyzed except for those with p16-positive disease (n = 35). Conclusions Subgroups of HNSCC patients who may achieve increased benefit from afatinib were identified based on prespecified tumor biomarkers (p16-negative, EGFR-amplified, HER3-low, PTEN-high). Future studies are warranted to validate these findings. Clinical trial registration NCT01345682.
