Abstract
[Purpose] Although many studies have shown that patients have difficulty in climbing or descending stairs after undergoing total knee replacement, no study so far has compared the difficulty of stair ascent and descent based on objective indicators. This study compared stair ascending and descending processes based on three indicators and clarified which was more difficult. [Participants and Methods] We defined 1) movement method, 2) the necessity for handrail use, and 3) speed as objective indicators. Seventy-eight patients who underwent total knee replacement participated in this study. Three months after the surgery, we examined 1) whether the patients could ascend or descend in a step-over-step or step-by-step manner, 2) whether the patients required handrail support, and measured 3) the time required to ascend and descend for four steps. [Results] The step-by-step movement and handrail requirement rates associated with stair descent were higher than the corresponding rates associated with stair ascent. In addition, the time required for stair descent was greater than that required for ascent. [Conclusion] We found that stair descent was more challenging than stair ascent in terms of all three objective indices: movement method, handrail use, and speed. The results indicate that rehabilitation after total knee replacement should focus more on stair descent than on stair ascent.

Abstract
Injecting high-energy heavy ions in the electronic stopping regime into solids can create cylindrical damage zones called latent ion tracks. Although these tracks form in many materials, none have ever been observed in diamond, even when irradiated with high-energy GeV uranium ions. Here we report the first observation of ion track formation in diamond irradiated with 2-9 MeV C60 fullerene ions. Depending on the ion energy, the mean track length (diameter) changed from 17 (3.2) nm to 52 (7.1) nm. High resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM) indicated the amorphization in the tracks, in which π-bonding signal from graphite was detected by the electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Since the melting transition is not induced in diamond at atmospheric pressure, conventional inelastic thermal spike calculations cannot be applied. Two-temperature molecular dynamics simulations succeeded in the reproduction of both the track formation under MeV C60 irradiations and the no-track formation under GeV monoatomic ion irradiations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To ascertain whether a mobile patient lift facilitates early mobilization in ventilated ICU patients. DESIGN A single-center, open-label, randomized controlled trial. SETTING An academic ICU in Tokyo. PATIENTS Eighty patients were admitted to ICU and expected ventilation for at least 48 hours. INTERVENTIONS In the intervention group, in addition to the rehabilitation protocol received by the control group, patients were assisted in sitting, standing, transfers, and walking using the mobile patient lift. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The intervention group predominantly stood faster than the control group (1.0 vs. 3.0 d, p < 0.01). The Intervention group also had significantly higher Functional Status Score-ICU scores at ICU discharge. However, the Medical Research Council score and Barthel index at discharge, length of ICU stay, and number of ventilator-free days did not differ between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS The use of mobile patient lifts facilitates the earlier standing of patients on ventilators. This may contribute to patients improved physical function in the ICU. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study protocol was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) under the registration number UMIN000044965. Registered July 30, 2021.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Skipping breakfast does not accelerate the hyperglycemia-induced endothelial dysfunction but reduces blood flow of the brachial artery in young men. Eur J Appl Physiol 2024; 124:295-308.

Abstract
PURPOSE Postprandial hyperglycemia is assumed to have a negative impact on flow-mediated dilation (FMD), an index of endothelial function, and blood flow of the peripheral conduit arteries. This study aimed to determine whether the enhancement of postprandial hyperglycemia by skipping breakfast accelerates endothelial dysfunction and reduces the blood flow in the brachial artery in young men. METHODS Using a randomized cross-over design, ten healthy men completed two trials: with and without breakfast (Eating and Fasting trials, respectively). Venous blood sampling and brachial FMD tests were conducted before, 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). RESULTS Skipping breakfast boosted post-OGTT glucose levels than having breakfast (P = 0.01). The magnitude of the decrease in FMD via OGTT did not vary between trials (main effect of trial P = 0.55). Although brachial blood flow tended to decrease after OGTT in both trials (interaction and main effect of time P = 0.61 and P = 0.054, respectively), the decrease in blood flow following OGTT was greater in the Fasting trial than in the Eating trial (main effect of trial, mean difference = - 15.8 mL/min [95%CI = - 25.6 to - 6.0 mL/min], P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Skipping breakfast did not enhance the magnitude of the decrease in FMD following glucose loading, but did accelerate hyperglycemia-induced reduction in brachial blood flow. Current findings suggest that even missing one breakfast has negative impacts on the blood flow regulation of the peripheral conduit arteries in young men who habitually eat breakfast.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Ankle plantar flexors play a vital role in the mobility of older adults. The strength and velocity of plantarflexion are critical factors in determining walking speed. Despite reports on how age and sex affect plantarflexion strength, basic information regarding plantarflexion velocity is still lacking. This cross-sectional observational study investigated age-related changes and sex differences in plantarflexion velocity by comparing them with plantarflexion strength. A total of 550 healthy adults were classified into four age groups for each sex: Young (< 40 years old), Middle-aged (40-64 years old), Young-old (65-74 years old), and Older-old (≧ 75 years old). We measured plantarflexion velocity and strength in the long-sitting position using a gyroscope and a hand-held dynamometer, respectively. Two-way analysis of variance revealed no interaction between age and sex for either plantarflexion velocity or strength. Plantarflexion velocity exhibited a significant decline with aging, as did the plantarflexion strength. We found no significant sex differences in plantarflexion velocity in contrast to plantarflexion strength. The results indicated a significant decrease with age and no difference in plantarflexion velocity between males and females characteristic plantarflexion velocity. Understanding the characteristics of plantarflexion velocity could contribute to preventing a decline in mobility in older adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the resuscitation rate for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients in Japan is increasing due to the widespread use of automated external defibrillators, the proportion of patients who can return to society remains low at approximately 7%. Many patients have poor neurological outcomes and cannot return to society because of post-resuscitation hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. While the resumption of cardiac rhythm is important for patients with OHCA, improving neurological outcomes and returning to society are also important. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether perampanel, an antiepileptic drug that provides neurological protection against stroke and head injury, could improve neurological outcomes in patients resuscitated after OHCA. METHODS The participants included 33 patients with OHCA admitted to our hospital from January 2021 to June 2022 and 33 patients admitted before that time. Perampanel was administered to the patients in the intervention group immediately after resuscitation. We defined a Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) score of 1.2 as a good neurological outcome. RESULTS There was no significant difference in neurological outcomes at intensive care unit discharge between the intervention and non-intervention groups (number of CPC 1.2: 16/33 vs. 9/33); however, neurological outcomes at hospital discharge were significantly better in the intervention group (number of CPC 1.2: 19/33 vs. 9/33 P = 0.01). CONCLUSION The α-amino-3-hydroxyl-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionate receptor inhibitory and neuronal protective effects of perampanel may have inhibited the progression of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, which develops after the resumption of cardiac rhythm, and suppressed neuronal damage. Early administration of perampanel after resuscitation of patients with OHCA may improve neurological outcomes.

Abstract
This study evaluated the stability of bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (BSSRO) associated with positional plagiocephaly and temporal and masseter muscles using posteroanterior cephalogram analysis and three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT). This retrospective cohort study included 31 patients who underwent BSSRO for mandibular asymmetry. The cranial vault asymmetry index (CVAI) and the cephalic index were used as indicators of positional plagiocephaly. The distance from the vertical reference line to the menton (Me) was measured on posteroanterior cephalograms immediately and 1 year after surgery, and postoperative stability was assessed. Temporal and masseter muscles were constructed from 3D-CT data and their volumes were measured. Simple regression analysis showed a significant correlation between postoperative changes in the vertical reference line to the Me and the CVAI (R = 0.56, p = 0.001), the amount of surgical movement in the vertical reference line to the Me (R = 0.41, p = 0.023), and the variable temporal muscle volume (R = 0.27, p = 0.028). There was no significant correlation between postoperative changes in the vertical reference line to the Me and the cephalic index (R = 0.093, p = 0.62) and variable masseter muscle volume (R = 0.16, p = 0.38). According to multivariate analysis, CVAI (p = 0.003) and amount of surgical movement in the vertical reference line to the Me (p = 0.014) were significant predictors of postoperative change in the vertical reference line to the Me. Positional plagiocephaly and amount of surgical movement influence lateral skeletal stability following BSSRO for mandibular asymmetry.

Abstract
The neurohypophysial peptide arginine vasotocin (VT) and its mammalian ortholog, arginine vasopressin, function in physiological and behavioral events. These functions have been identified in neuroendocrinological studies using adult animals; however, there is little information on whether VT is associated with social behavior development in fish. Here, we examined social preference in medaka fish of various ages and investigated how VT expression changes during development. The 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8-week post-hatching (wph) larvae, juveniles, and 5-month-old adults were individually introduced to the grouped fish of each age group, and the social preference index (SPI) was compared among ages based on the time spent in the interaction zone near the grouped fish in a test tank. The SPI was significantly higher in the 4-wph larvae, 8-wph juveniles, and adult fish than in the 1- and 2-wph larvae. VT expression increased with age from 1 to 4 wph. Similarly, the expression was high in 4-wph, 8-wph, and adult fish. Furthermore, it was also found that the SPI and the VT expression decreased in the socially isolated larva during the 4 weeks after hatching compared to the levels in the grouped 4-wph larvae. These findings suggest that social preference develops with age and that conspecifics are necessary for social development in medaka larvae. Furthermore, our results suggest that VT is associated with the development of social preferences in medaka.

Abstract
Thymomas, the most common mediastinal tumors, form capsules. Only a few reports have presented small thymomas without capsule formation, so-called microthymomas. Here, we report a case of an unencapsulated thymoma measuring 18 mm. A 42-year-old female presented with an anterior mediastinal tumor. Computed tomography revealed an 18-mm nodule in the anterior mediastinum. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a solid tumor that was iso-intense on T1-weighted images and hypo-intense on T2-weighted images. Thoracoscopic partial thymectomy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was a type B1 thymoma. The tumor was localized within the thymic tissue lacked a fibrous capsule and partially invaded the surrounding fat tissue. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an unencapsulated thymoma, except for microthymomas.

Abstract
Background Exercise, education, and social engagement are critical interventions for older adults for a healthy life expectancy and to improve their physical function. Objective To conduct a combined exercise and education (CEE) program for improved social engagement and physical function of older adults. Design Based on a short-term program we conducted in our previous study, in this study, the program was conducted for half the number of participants of the earlier study but for a longer duration. Setting A community of older adults in Ami, Japan, was the setting of the study. Participants 23 healthy older adults >65 years living in the community were the participants in the study. Interventions Five 80-minute sessions conducted once in two weeks comprised 60-min exercise instruction and 20-min educational lectures per session on health. We examined the improvement in physical and social engagement before and after participation. Physical function and health-related questionnaire data were collected before and after the program. Results Data analysis from 15 participants showed improved physical performance but no effect on social engagement. Conclusions A higher program frequency, rather than program duration, may be vital to improving exercise performance and social engagement and maximizing the effects of high group cohesion in small groups. Further studies are needed to develop more effective interventions to extend healthy life expectancy.

Abstract
We report a fatal subdural empyema caused by Campylobacter rectus in a 66-year-old female who developed acute onset of confusion, dysarthria, and paresis in her left extremities. A CT scan showed hypodensity in a crescentic formation with a mild mid-line shift. She had a bruise on her forehead caused by a fall several days before admission, which initially raised subdural hematoma (SDH) diagnosis, and a burr hole procedure was planned. However, her condition deteriorated on the admission night, and she died before dawn. An autopsy revealed that she had subdural empyema (SDE) caused by Campylobacter rectus and Slackia exigua. Both microorganisms are oral microorganisms that rarely cause extra-oral infection. In our case, head trauma caused a skull bone fracture, and sinus infection might have expanded to the subdural space causing SDE. CT/MRI findings were not typical for either SDH or SDE. Early recognition of subdural empyema and prompt initiation of treatment with antibiotics and surgical drainage is essential for cases of SDE. We present our case and a review of four reported cases.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effect of sulfur (S) application on a root-associated microbial community resulting in a rhizosphere microbiome with better nutrient mobilizing capacity. Soybean plants were cultivated with or without S application, the organic acids secreted from the roots were compared. High-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA was used to analyze the effect of S on microbial community structure of the soybean rhizosphere. Several plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) isolated from the rhizosphere were identified that can be harnessed for crop productivity. The amount of malic acid secreted from the soybean roots was significantly induced by S application. According to the microbiota analysis, the relative abundance of Polaromonas, identified to have positive association with malic acid, and arylsulfatase-producing Pseudomonas, were increased in S-applied soil. Burkholderia sp. JSA5, obtained from S-applied soil, showed multiple nutrient-mobilizing traits among the isolates. In this study, S application affected the soybean rhizosphere bacterial community structure, suggesting the contribution of changing plant conditions such as in the increase in organic acid secretion. Not only the shift of the microbiota but also isolated strains from S-fertilized soil showed PGPB activity, as well as isolated bacteria that have the potential to be harnessed for crop productivity.

Abstract
Low birth weight (LBW) increases the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) such as attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder and autism spectrum disorder, as well as cerebral palsy, for which no prophylactic measure exists. Neuroinflammation in fetuses and neonates plays a major pathogenic role in NDDs. Meanwhile, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) exhibit immunomodulatory properties. Therefore, we hypothesized that systemic administration of UC-MSCs in the early postnatal period may attenuate neuroinflammation and thereby prevent the emergence of NDDs. The LBW pups born to dams subjected to mild intrauterine hypoperfusion exhibited a significantly lesser decrease in the monosynaptic response with increased frequency of stimulation to the spinal cord preparation from postnatal day 4 (P4) to P6, suggesting hyperexcitability, which was improved by intravenous administration of human UC-MSCs (1 × 105 cells) on P1. Three-chamber sociability tests at adolescence revealed that only LBW males exhibited disturbed sociability, which tended to be ameliorated by UC-MSC treatment. Other parameters, including those determined via open-field tests, were not significantly improved by UC-MSC treatment. Serum or cerebrospinal fluid levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines were not elevated in the LBW pups, and UC-MSC treatment did not decrease these levels. In conclusion, although UC-MSC treatment prevents hyperexcitability in LBW pups, beneficial effects for NDDs are marginal.

Abstract
Prosaposin is a precursor of lysosomal hydrolases activator proteins, saposins, and also acts as a secretory protein that is not processed into saposins. Prosaposin elicits neurotrophic function via G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 37, and prosaposin deficiency causes abnormal vestibuloauditory end-organ development. In this study, immunohistochemistry was used to examine prosaposin and GPR37 expression patterns in the mouse cochlear and vestibular nuclei. Prosaposin immunoreactivity was observed in neurons and glial cells in both nuclei. GPR37 immunoreactivity was observed in only some neurons, and its immunoreactivity in the vestibular nucleus was weaker than that in the cochlear nucleus. This study suggests a possibility that prosaposin deficiency affects not only the end-organs but also the first center of the vestibuloauditory system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk factors for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) among healthcare workers (HCWs) might have changed since the emergence of the highly immune evasive Omicron variant. AIM To compare the risk factors for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among HCWs during the Delta- and Omicron-predominant periods. METHODS Using data from repeated serosurveys among the staff of a medical research centre in Tokyo, two cohorts were established: Delta period cohort (N = 858) and Omicron period cohort (N = 652). The potential risk factors were assessed using a questionnaire. Acute/current or past SARS-CoV-2 infection was identified by polymerase chain reaction or anti-nucleocapsid antibody tests, respectively. Poisson regression was used to calculate the risk ratio (RR) of infection risk. FINDINGS The risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection during the early Omicron-predominant period was 3.4-fold higher than during the Delta-predominant period. Neither working in a COVID-19-related department nor having a higher degree of occupational exposure to SARS-CoV-2 was associated with an increased infection risk during both periods. During the Omicron-predominant period, infection risk was higher among those who spent ≥30 min in closed spaces, crowded spaces, and close-contact settings without wearing mask (≥3 times versus never: RR: 6.62; 95% confidence interval: 3.01-14.58), whereas no such association was found during the Delta period. CONCLUSION Occupational exposure to COVID-19-related work was not associated with the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the Delta or Omicron period, whereas high-risk behaviours were associated with an increased infection risk during the Omicron period.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Quadriceps weakness is considered the primary determinant of gait function after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, many patients have shown a gap in improvement trends between gait function and quadriceps strength in clinical situations. Factors other than quadriceps strength in the recovery of gait function after TKA may be essential factors. Because muscle power is a more influential determinant of gait function than muscle strength, the maximum knee extension velocity without external load may be a critical parameter of gait function in patients with TKA. This study aimed to identify the importance of knee extension velocity in determining the gait function early after TKA by comparing the quadriceps strength. METHODS This prospective observational study was conducted in four acute care hospitals. Patients scheduled for unilateral TKA were recruited (n = 186; age, 75.9 ± 6.6 years; 43 males and 143 females). Knee extension velocity was defined as the angular velocity of knee extension without external load as quickly as possible in a seated position. Bilateral knee function (knee extension velocity and quadriceps strength), lateral knee function (pain and range of motion), and gait function (gait speed and Timed Up and Go test (TUG)) were evaluated before and at 2 and 3 weeks after TKA. RESULTS Both bilateral knee extension velocities and bilateral quadriceps strengths were significantly correlated with gait function. The knee extension velocity on the operation side was the strongest predictor of gait function at all time points in multiple regression analysis. CONCLUSION These findings identified knee extension velocity on the operation side to be a more influential determinant of gait function than impairments in quadriceps strength. Therefore, training that focuses on knee extension velocity may be recommended as part of the rehabilitation program in the early postoperative period following TKA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Purpose
Worsening renal function (WRF) can sometimes occur in the patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and increase the risk of morbidity and mortality (1). In a previous study, it was reported that fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) reflects net sodium reabsorption from nephron segments and predicts WRF during treating ADHF (2). On the other hand, recently the new drugs which approach urine concentration mechanism and affect urine osmolality (U-OSM), such as tolvaptan and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, have begun to be widely used as treatment of heart failure. Thus, we focused on U-OSM, which reflects not only sodium handling but also water excretion controlled by the collecting duct, and evaluated the association between WRF and U-OSM. Moreover, previous studies have demonstrated that FENa, fractional excretion of urea nitrogen and transtubular potassium concentration gradient are markers for long-term prognosis in patients with ADHF (3–5). Therefore, we also studied whether U-OSM can predict prognosis in ADHF.
Methods
A total of 157 patients admitted to our hospital because of a primary diagnosis of ADHF from February 2020 through July 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. U-OSM in the spot urinary samples were examined within 72 hours after admission. U-OSM was calculated based on the following validated formula (6): U-OSM = 1.07 × {2 × [urine sodium (mEq/L)] + [urine urea nitrogen (mg/dL)]/2.8 + [urine creatinine (mg/dl)] × 2/3} + 16.2. The primary outcome was the occurrence of WRF during hospitalization. WRF was defined as increased serum creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dL from baseline (7). The secondary outcome was the occurrence of ADHF readmission and all-cause death within 180 days after discharge.
Results
Primary Outcome. WRF developed in 46% of all patients. In the patients that developed WRF during hospitalization, U-OSM was significantly lower than in the patients without WRF (366±106 mOsm/L versus 430±128 mOsm/L; P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed the optimal cutoff values of U-OSM was 403 mOsm/L (AUC 0.64; 95% CI: 0.56–0.72; P<0.001) to predict the WRF (Figure 1). On multivariable logistic regression analysis, U-OSM (OR, 1.99, 95% CI: 1.27–3.12; p=0.003) and serum creatinine (OR, 1.00, 95% CI: 0.99–1.00; P=0.009) were independent predictors of WRF.
Secondary Outcome. There were 34 patients (22%) readmitted and 9 patients (6%) died within 180 days after discharge. ROC curve analysis revealed the optimal cutoff values of U-OSM as 349 mOsm/L (C-statistic 0.74; 95% CI: 0.65–0.83; P<0.001) to predict ADHF readmission and all-cause death within 180 days (Figure 2A). On Kaplan-Meier analysis, the secondary outcome was significantly higher in patients with U-OSM<349 mOsm/L (u-OSM≥349, 57%, U-OSM<349, 43%; HR, 0.99; 95% CI: 0.99–1.00, P<0.001) (Figure 2B).
Conclusion
U-OSM on admission may be a predictor of WRF and a prognostic marker in ADHF patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Toxins produced by Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) can cause enteritis and diarrhea. Although the number of pediatric CDI cases is increasing, the clinical management of pediatric CDI, including patient characteristics and prognosis, remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the background and clinical course of patients with CDI and evaluate the reliability of diagnostic tests in a tertiary pediatric hospital in Japan. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of children diagnosed with CDI between 2011 and 2021 at the Saitama Children's Medical Center in Saitama, Japan. RESULTS During the study period, 1,252 C. difficile antigen/toxin tests were performed, and 37 patients were diagnosed with CDI. The main underlying diseases among the patients were hematological and malignant disorders and gastrointestinal diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (59.4%). Two patients (5.4%) had an unremarkable medical history. Among the 37 patients, 27 (73.0%) were immunocompromised, 25 (67.6%) had a history of antibiotic use within the past two months, and 6 (16.2%) were negative on the initial test but were positive on the second test. Finally, 28 patients (75.7%) required primary antibiotic therapy only, and two patients with IBD required additional antibiotic therapy as secondary treatment. CONCLUSION The number of pediatric patients with CDI is increasing. Both a comprehensive interview, including underlying diseases and history of antibiotic use, and an understanding of the features of clinical examinations should be emphasized to appropriately diagnose and treat CDI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION It is important to prevent the deterioration of activities of daily living to improve the long-term prognoses of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). The patients' conditions, along with the lack of human and technical resources, often become barriers to achieving early mobilisation after the introduction of mechanical ventilation. We plan to verify the usefulness of a mobile patient lift for early mobilisation. METHODS AND ANALYSIS We will conduct a single-centre, open-label, randomised controlled trial. The inclusion criteria are as follows: age ≥18 years, independent walking before admission and expected mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours. The participants will be randomly divided into groups with (intervention group) or without (control group) a mobile lift protocol. A mobile lift will be used in the intervention group. The primary endpoint will be the number of days required to achieve an ICU mobility scale of ≥4 (standing position). The results of the two groups will be analysed using the Student's t-test. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study will be conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and with the approval of the Toho University Omori Medical Center Ethics Committee (approval number M20259). The results of this study will be presented internationally at academic conferences and published in the literature. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000044965.

Abstract
A 54-year-old male with alcoholic cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus was referred to our hospital for the treatment of right pleural empyema with fistula. Despite performing a simple suture closure of the pulmonary fistula, air leakage occurred one week after surgery. Hence, we covered the fistula with a pediculed muscle flap associated with an open window thoracostomy. After 32 days of gauze drainage, negative pressure wound therapy( NPWT) was introduced for reducing the residual pleural space. A chest computed tomography( CT) scan showed almost the full expansion of the lung after undergoing 98 days of NPWT. The patient was discharged from the hospital four months after thoracostomy.

Abstract
Chest wall sarcomas account for <20% of all soft tissue sarcomas of which leiomyosarcomas represent only 1–4%. We report a case of thoracic leiomyosarcoma that resembled schwannoma in preoperative image studies. A 79-year-old man presented to our hospital with a chest wall tumor that increased in size over 3 months. Computed tomography of the chest revealed a 3-cm mass arising from the chest wall. Thoracic magnetic resonance imaging showed a solid tumor that was hypo-intense on T1-weighted imaging and iso-intense on T2-weighted imaging. Chest wall resection was performed using a video-assisted thoracoscopic approach after a frozen section examination revealed sarcoma. The histological diagnosis was leiomyosarcoma. Liver and multiple lung metastases were detected 5 years after surgery. Malignant tumors should be considered in any patient with chest wall tumors. The thoracoscopic approach could be an optimal treatment for chest wall tumor.

Abstract
The objective of this single-center retrospective cohort study was to investigate the relationship between blood transfusion and persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PIICS). The study was conducted at the Critical Care Center at Toho University Omori Medical Center, Japan. We included 391 patients in the PIICS group (hospitalization for > 15 days, C-reactive protein > 3.0 mg/dL or albumin < 3.0 mg/dL or lymph < 800/μL on day 14) and 762 patients in the non-PIICS group (hospitalization for > 15 days and not meeting the PIICS criteria). We performed univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses using PIICS as the objective variable and red blood cell (RBC) or fresh frozen plasma or platelet (PLT) transfusion and other confounding factors as explanatory variables. In addition, we conducted a sensitivity analysis using propensity score matching analysis. The multivariate and propensity score analyses showed that RBC and PLT transfusions were significantly associated with PIICS. This is the first study to report an association between RBC and PLT transfusions and PIICS. Our findings have contributed to better understanding the risk factors of PIICS and suggest that physicians should consider the risk of PIICS occurrence when administering blood transfusions in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcomes of pre-operative endovascular coil embolisation (ECE) for chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA).METHODS: We evaluated surgical patients with CPA between November 2016 and April 2020. Pre-operative ECE for CPA with severe adhesions was selectively performed to reduce intra-operative blood loss. ECE procedures, operative procedures, intra-operative blood loss and complications were evaluated.RESULTS: Twenty-eight patients (21 males and 7 females; median age: 55 years) were included in the study. Of the 28 patients, 8 (28.6%) underwent pre-operative ECE. Technical success rate in pre-operative ECE was 100%. The median time required for ECE procedures was 123 min. The median number of vessels embolised per procedure was 2.5. The median period between embolisation and surgery was 5 days. Major complications were observed in three patients (10.7%). There were no significant differences between patients with and without pre-operative ECE in operative time (284 vs. 365 min, respectively, P = 0.7602) and intra-operative blood loss (294 vs. 228 mL, respectively, P = 0.8987).CONCLUSIONS: Pre-operative ECE for CPA appears to be feasible and safe; however, its role in reducing intra-operative blood loss needs further investigation.

Abstract
Nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), which catalyzes the methylation of nicotinamide, is a cytosolic enzyme that has attracted much attention as a therapeutic target for a variety of diseases. However, despite the considerable interest in this target, reports of NNMT inhibitors have still been limited to date. In this work, utilizing in vitro translated macrocyclic peptide libraries, we identified peptide 1 as a novel class of NNMT inhibitors. Further exploration based on the X-ray cocrystal structures of the peptides with NNMT provided a dramatic improvement in inhibitory activity (peptide 23: IC50 = 0.15 nM). Furthermore, by balance of the peptides' lipophilicity and biological activity, inhibitory activity against NNMT in cell-based assay was successfully achieved (peptide 26: cell-based IC50 = 770 nM). These findings illuminate the potential of cyclic peptides as a relatively new drug discovery modality even for intracellular targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Predicting the prognosis of intensive care unit (ICU) patients is crucial because it may lead to patient stratification that would in turn help in appropriately distributing limited medical resources. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate the use of the urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) semi-quantitative kit in rapidly predicting the prognosis of patients admitted to the ICU. METHODS We conducted a single-center, prospective, observational study wherein 100 consecutive patients admitted to the ICU with an indwelling bladder catheter were enrolled between April and October 2020. Urine specimens were collected at the time of admission (T1) and after 6 h (T2), and urinary L-FABP levels were semi-quantitatively measured. Based on the results, an L-FABP variation was defined as the change in L-FABP (negative, weakly positive, or strongly positive) from T1 to T2. Patients were divided into three groups (L-FABP decreased group, unchanged group, or increased group), following which we compared their 14-day mortality. RESULTS Finally, a total of 79 patients were included in the analysis. In multivariate analysis, urinary L-FABP variation [Odds ratio (OR) = 14.327, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.819-112.868, p = 0.01] and lactate (OR = 1.234, 95%CI = 1.060-1.437, p = 0.01) were significantly associated with 14-day mortality. CONCLUSION Urinary L-FABP variation at 6 h after admission was significantly associated with 14-day mortality.
