Abstract
Abstract
Background
Therapeutic angiogenesis mediated by stem/progenitor cells is an attractive therapeutic option against cardiovascular disease (CVD). Adipose tissue (AT) can be safely obtained even in CVD patients with anti-platelet medications, and it is a readily available source of culture-expanded adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) for transplantation. Single-cell transcriptome enables us to screen all the surface markers at once, while conventional strategies have been limited for the number of target markers. Furthermore, gene profiling at single-cell resolution can be used for the quantification of each marker by how many favorable cells can be purified without mixing of detrimental cells.
Purpose
We aimed to identify and characterize a cell population with in vivo angiogenic potential by single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis and xenograft experiments.
Methods
We revisited scRNA-seq datasets of single cell fraction from AT, bone-marrow (BM), and umbilical-cord blood (UCB, n=6/organ) to find cell populations with pro-angiogenic potential. Next, we collected AT from CVD patients (n=23) and used multicolor flow cytometry to quantify and sort the specific populations. PBS, the specific marker-negative and unsorted ADSCs were used as controls. Xenograft models of PKH26 pre-labeled human ADSC transplantation in limb ischemia were used to evaluate the lectin capillary density, PKH+ engrafted ADSCs, and blood flow recovery.
Results
Clustering divided CD45–CD31–CD34+ progenitor fraction into 3 clusters. We identified pro-/anti-angiogenic clusters based on the expressions of well-known pro-/anti-angiogenic factors. All genes encoding cell-surface proteins were compared in this functional clustering, resulted in 17 markers screened (Fig. 1A, B). Taken together with enrichment analysis, CD271+ cells showed predominant and pro-angiogenic gene profile from the other top candidates including CD36 and CD54 (Fig. 1C, D). Next, we evaluated the number and gene profile of CD271+ cells in well-known stem cell sources including BM and UCB. Surprisingly, the number of CD271 expressing cells were significantly lower and did not show angiogenic gene profile in BM and UCB (Fig. 2A). In analysis of AT from 23 CVD patients, CD271+ cells were significantly decreased by donor insulin resistance (Fig. 2B). Cell therapy using CD271+ ADSCs demonstrated in vivo angiogenic capacity compared to those of CD271– ADSCs and PBS in limb ischemia model. Furthermore, CD271+ ADSC transplantation showed enhanced efficacy compared to unsorted ADSCs from the same donors (Fig. 2C–E).
Conclusion
In this study, we identified CD271+ cell population in AT as an angiogenic cell population through scRNA-seq analysis and cell therapy experiments. AT obtained from donors without insulin resistance would be the most suitable for CD271+ ADSC isolation. CD271+ ADSC transplantation with a promising angiogenic capacity could contribute better cell-based therapy tackling CVD.

Abstract
Cases of breast cancer metastasis after achieving a pathological complete response (pCR) with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) are sometimes encountered in clinical practice. We investigated the prognostic factors for pCR in patients with breast cancer after NAC. This retrospective cohort study included patients with localized breast cancer who underwent NAC followed by surgery between 2004 and 2020 and achieved a pCR. The associations between clinical factors and distant metastasis-free survival rate were statistically analyzed. We analyzed data for 127 patients. Twelve patients (9.4%) had distant metastases, and seven (5.5%) died. For estrogen receptor (ER)-positive patients, the distant metastasis-free survival rate was 94.6% for both 5 and 8 years. In contrast, ER-negative patients had a distant metastasis-free survival rate of 87.6% and 85.4% for 5 and 8 years (p=0.094), respectively. In cT0-2 patients, the distant metastasis-free survival rate was 92.4% for 5 years and 90.5% for 8 years, whereas in cT3-4 patients, the distant metastasis-free survival rate was 83.5% for 5 years and 83.5% for 8 years (p=0.301). This study suggested that patients with ER-negative, pre-NAC cT3 or T4 breast cancer who had achieved a pCR after NAC tended to have a worse prognosis.

Abstract
Background Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome is a susceptibility syndrome for cancers, such as breast and ovarian cancer, and BRCA1/2 are its causative genes. Annual breast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended for BRCA1/2 mutation carriers aged over 25 years as a secondary prevention of breast cancer. However, breast MRI surveillance is rarely performed in Japan, and only four cases of breast cancer diagnosis triggered by MRI surveillance have been reported. Case presentation At our hospital, MRI triggered the diagnosis of breast cancer in four cancer-free BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. In one of our four cases, although MRI showed only a 3-mm focus, we could diagnose breast cancer by shortening the surveillance interval considering the patient’s high-risk for developing breast cancer. Conclusions Image-guided biopsy, including MRI-guided biopsy, depending on the size of the lesion, and shorter surveillance intervals are useful when there are potentially malignant findings on breast MRI surveillance for cancer-free patients with HBOC.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) causes congestive liver due to right heart failure. There are few cases of PAH that lead to liver cirrhosis, and little attention is paid to liver function in PAH patients. However, it is certain that long-term congestion due to right heart failure in PAH causes a gradual exacerbation of liver dysfunction and affects metabolic function.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate liver fibrosis associated with the severity and prognosis of PAH.
Methods
This retrospective observational study was included 57 PAH patients and 22 control subjects. PAH patients were assigned to three risk variables according to the simplified risk stratification proposed at the 6thWSPH 2018 after measuring hemodynamic parameters using right heart catheterization, WHO functional class, 6- minutes walking distance (6MWD), and BNP plasma levels. The Fibrosis-4 (FIB4)-index, a liver fibrosis marker, was calculated using the formula: FIB-4 = Age (years) × AST (U/L) / [PLT (109/L) × ALT1/2 (U/L)], and assessed for association with severity of PAH. PAH patients were followed up for 12 years to assess the occurrence of major adverse event, such as death or lung transplantation.
Next, adult 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice were exposed to chronic hypoxia (10% O2) or normoxia for 6 weeks. Then, mice were anesthetized and performed right heart catheterization. Liver tissue was collected for histological assessment by Hematoxylin and eosin and Azan staining, and evaluated RNA expression involved in liver fibrosis by real-time PCR.
Results
The levels of FIB4-index in intermediate and high risk groups of PAH patients had significantly increased compared to those in control group. In PAH patients, FIB4-index was not obviously correlated with hemodynamic parameters, BNP, or 6MWD. Major adverse events occurred in 18 PAH patients (32%): death in 18 (100%) and lung transplant in none (0%). Kaplan-Meier curves for PAH patients with and without major adverse events were constructed based on a cut-off frequency of 2.001 for FIB4-index. During the 12-years follow-up period, major-event-free survival was significantly better in PAH patients with FIB4-index <2.001 than in patients with FIB4-index >2.001 (hazard ratio, 3.3; P=0.038).
In a PAH model mice, hemodynamic parameters showed that chronic hypoxia significantly increased the right ventricular systolic pressure. In histological analysis, there was no significantly difference in liver fibrosis in hypoxia or normoxia group. However, the RNA expression such as αSMA and TGFβ1 associated with liver fibrosis in PAH model mice was increased compared to control mice.
Conclusion
This study showed that the liver fibrosis gradually progressed subsurfacely with severity of PAH. Even the slight liver dysfunction may affect metabolism and cause exacerbation of PAH, so it might be necessary to pay attention to liver fibrosis as one of the risk factors of PAH.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Although natriuretic peptides (NPs) are established as a biomarker of heart failure (HF), NPs have been attracting attention as a mediator in the metabolic sequences recently. On the other hand, metabolic disorders including insulin resistance have been suggested to be involved in left ventricular (LV) concentric remodeling, hinting us to the unexpected relationship among NPs, insulin resistance and LV concentric remodeling.
Purpose
To investigate whether the basal B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level is linked to insulin resistance or LV concentric remodeling in the participants independent of HF in the Japanese Arita-cho cohort study.
Methods
Among 1632 subjects who participated in annual health checks from 2005 to 2008 in Arita-cho, Saga, Japan as a cohort study, we studied 675 subjects without history of cardiovascular disease with LV ejection fraction≥50% and BNP level<35pg/ml (227 men; median 62 years old). Insulin resistance was assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and LV geometry including LV concentric remodeling was classified based on relative wall thickness (RWT) and LV mass index from echocardiographic findings.
Results
The tertile levels of BNP were inversely associated with HOMA-IR (the 1st tertile 1.33 (0.76–1.74), the 2nd tertile 1.05 (0.72–1.59), the 3rd tertile 0.95 (0.66–1.58), p=0.005); in the logistic regression analysis, the lower BNP level was related to the prevalence of insulin resistance defined as HOMA-IR≥1.37 after full multivariate adjustment (1 SD increment of BNP: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.740, 95% confidence interval 0.601–0.912, P=0.005. LV concentric remodeling (RWT >0.42 and LV mass index ≤115 g/m2 in men and ≤95 g/m2 in women) was observed in 170 (25%) subjects; both low BNP level and higher insulin resistance were independently linked with LV concentric remodeling after multivariate adjustment (1 SD increment of BNP: aOR 0.714, 95% CI 0.544–0.938, p=0.015, HOMA-IR≥1.37 vs. <1.37: aOR 1.694, 95% CI 1.004–2.857, p=0.048, respectively) (Figure).
Conclusions
In the cohort without HF, the low BNP level was linked to insulin resistance and LV concentric remodeling independently, suggesting that the subjects with low NPs levels may cause metabolic disorders and LV morphological abnormalities.

Abstract
Background The benefits of postoperative chemotherapy in patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer remain unclear. The use of tumor grade, Ki-67, or ER expression failed to provide an accurate prognosis of the risk of relapse after surgery in patients. This study aimed to evaluate whether a multigene assay Curebest™ 95GC Breast (95GC) can identify the risk of recurrence and provide more insights into the requirements for chemotherapy in patients. Methods This single-arm retrospective multicenter joint study included patients with ER-positive, node-negative breast cancer who were treated at five facilities in Japan and had received endocrine therapy alone as adjuvant therapy. The primary lesion specimens obtained during surgery were analyzed using the 95GC breast cancer multigene assay. Based on the 95GC results, patients were classified into low-risk (95GC-L) and high-risk (95GC-H) groups. Results The 10-year relapse-free survival rates were 88.4 and 59.6% for the 95GC-L and 95GC-H groups, respectively. Histologic grade, Ki-67, and PAM50 exhibited a significant relationship with the 95GC results. The segregation into 95GC-L and 95GC-H groups within established clinical factors can identify subgroups of patients using histologic grade or PAM50 classification with good prognosis without receiving chemotherapy. Conclusions Based on the results of our retrospective study, 95GC could be used to evaluate the long-term prognosis of ER-positive, node-negative breast cancer. Even though further prospective validation is necessary, the inclusion of 95GC in clinical practice could help to select optimal treatments for breast cancer patients and identify those who do not benefit from the addition of chemotherapy, thus avoiding unnecessary treatment.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is often difficult to treat human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic recurrent breast cancer in the elderly, and no standard treatment has been established at this point. We experienced a case in which trastuzumab (Tmab) + anastrozole (ANA) was ineffective (progressive disease; PD) in elderly HER2-positive breast cancer with postoperative multiple liver metastases, but T-DM1 was significantly effective (complete response; CR), and treatment could be continued safely. An 82-year-old woman was referred to our department with a right breast mass. A close examination revealed right breast cancer cT1bN0M0 cStage I, and total mastectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy were performed. The postoperative pathological result was pT1bN0M0 pStage I (luminal HER2 type). The patient was elderly and had no adjuvant treatment after the operation. Approximately 2 years after the operation, multiple liver metastases were observed, and treatment with ANA and Tmab was started. Four months later, MRI showed that the number of multiple liver metastases increased. The patient was diagnosed with PD, and the anti-HER2 drug was changed from trastuzumab to trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). The dose was reduced due to vomiting (grade 3). Two months later, MRI showed that the multiple liver metastases shrank and became obscure after 5 months. After that, T-DM1 was continued, and the disease did not worsen. In elderly people with difficulty in administering chemotherapy, T-DM1 may have a safe and sufficient therapeutic effect by adjusting the dose and managing side effects appropriately.

Abstract
PURPOSE In the CLEOPATRA study of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive recurrent or metastatic breast cancer, the Japanese patient subgroup did not demonstrate the improved progression-free survival (PFS) of pertuzumab plus trastuzumab and docetaxel vs. placebo that was seen in the overall population. Therefore, COMACHI was conducted to confirm the efficacy and safety of this treatment regimen in this patient subgroup. METHODS This was a phase IV study of pertuzumab plus trastuzumab and docetaxel in Japanese patients with histologically/cytologically confirmed inoperable or recurrent HER2-positive breast cancer. All patients received pertuzumab, trastuzumab, and docetaxel intravenously every 3 weeks until disease progression/unacceptable toxicity. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed PFS. Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), investigator-assessed objective response rate, and duration of response (DoR). Safety was also assessed. RESULTS At final analysis, median investigator-assessed PFS was 22.8 months (95% CI 16.9-37.5). From first dose, OS rate at 1 year was 97.7%; and at 2 and 3 years were 88.5% and 79.1%, respectively. Of the 118 patients with measurable disease at baseline, response rate was 83.9% (95% CI 77.3-90.5) and median investigator-assessed DoR was 26.3 months (95% CI 17.1-not evaluable). Treatment was well tolerated, with no new safety signals detected. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest similar efficacy and safety for pertuzumab plus trastuzumab and docetaxel in Japanese patients compared with the overall population of CLEOPATRA, providing further support for this combination therapy as standard of care for Japanese patients with inoperable or recurrent HER2-positive breast cancer.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), characterized by vascular remodeling, is still disease with poor prognosis although many pulmonary vasodilators have been developed, and new mechanism of treatment for PAH is desired. Nerve growth factor receptor (Ngfr) is known to relate to inflammatory reaction and repair process in the damaged tissue. We have reported that Ngfr is associated to vascular remodeling in patients with acute coronary syndrome. However, it is unclear how Ngfr is involved in the pathogenesis of PAH.
Purpose
In this study, we investigated whether Ngfr relate to pathophysiology in PAH.
Methods
We estimated the frequency of Ngfr positive cells (% Ngfr+) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells obtained from PAH and non-PAH patients using flowcytometric analysis. In PAH patients, the hemodynamic parameters such as mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), and cardiac index (CI) were obtained by right heart catheterization, and evaluated for correlation with the % Ngfr+.
Next, adult 8-week-old C57BL/6 (WT) mice and Ngfr knock out (KO) mice were exposed to chronic hypoxia (10% O2) or normoxia for 6 weeks. Then, mice were anesthetized and performed echocardiography and right heart catheterization. Then, mice were exsanguinated and blood sample was collected to evaluate the % Ngfr+ by flow cytometry. Right ventricular weight was measured and lung tissue was also collected for histological assessment and molecular pathway profiling.
Results
PAH (n=24) patients and non-PAH patients (n=17) were enrolled. The % Ngfr+ was significantly higher in PAH patients than that in non-PAH patients (0.056% versus 0.019%, p<0.0001). In PAH patients, the % Ngfr+ was correlated with severity of hemodynamic parameters such as mPAP (R=0.64 p<0.001), PVR (R=0.62 p<0.005), and CI (R=−0.48 p<0.05).
In WT mice, chronic hypoxia significantly increased the right ventricular systolic pressure and induced vascular medial thickness and fibrosis around the pulmonary artery. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the % Ngfr+ was significantly increased in the hypoxia compared to that in the normoxia. Under hypoxic conditions, the right ventricular systolic pressure was significantly increased in Ngfr KO mice compared to that in WT mice. In histological analysis, hypoxia-induced peripheral vascular fibrosis and medial thickness was more severe in Ngfr KO than that in WT mice.
Conclusion
Circulating Ngfr-positive cells are associated with severity of PAH in patients. In the hypoxia-induced PH model, gene deletion of Ngfr shows the progression of the pathogenesis of PAH. These results suggest that circulating Ngfr-positive cells have an important role in the pathogenesis of PAH and may be a novel target for PAH therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Arterial reflected wave is determined by not only atherosclerosis but also sympathetic nerve activity. Recently, Arterial Velocity pulse Index (AVI), which is an index of arterial reflected waves, and Arterial Pressure volume Index (API), which is an index of volume of a conductive blood vessel, have been proposed as new index of arterial stiffness. However, it is unclear whether API and AVI would be associated with muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) in hypertensive subjects.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between AVI, API and MSNA in hypertensive subjects.
Method
41 hypertensive patients and 40 non-hypertensive subjects were included in this study. We performed a cross-sectional, observational study. Hypertension (HT) was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg or medical treatment for HT. AVI and API was measured by NAS-1000 (Nihon Koden, Japan). MSNA, central sympathetic outflow to peripheral muscle, was recorded directly from peroneal nerve. MSNA was expressed by burst frequency (bursts/minute) and burst incidence (bursts/100heartbeats). Blood pressure, heart rate and MSNA were recorded simultaneously.
Results
Age, systolic and diastolic pressure were significantly higher in hypertensive patients compared to control (40±15 vs 61±13 years, p<0.001; 142±16 vs 113±9 mmHg, p<0.001; 81±14 vs 67±9 mmHg, p<0.001). MSNA and AVI were significantly augmented in hypertensive patients compared to control (34±11 vs. 23±6 bursts/min, p<0.05; 26±7 vs. 16±4, p<0.05). AVI was correlated with MSNA in each group (hypertension: r=0.59, P<0.001, non-hypertension: r=0.51, p<0.001). However, no correlation was shown between API and MSNA in each group (hypertension: r=0.22, p=0.15, non-hypertension: r=0.07, p=0.63). Multiple regression analysis also showed MSNA was significantly related with AVI but was not with API.
Conclusion
Our finding showed that AVI relates to MSNA independent of API in patients with hypertension. It suggested that Novel index of arterial reflected waves, AVI, is helpful to estimate augmented SNA in hypertensive subjects regardless of volume of a conductive blood vessel.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In our previous 5-year cohort study, we demonstrated that low gene expression of nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) in peripheral leucocytes in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) predicted repetitive coronary interventions at the de novo lesions. An NGFR-positive cell has been demonstrated to reside in bone marrow (BM) stromal fraction and to be increased in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (MNCs) fraction in patients with ischemic heart disease.
Purpose
To investigate whether the BM-NGFR+ cell is associated with arterial remodeling and the relationship between the levels of peripheral NGFR+ cells after ACS and coronary plaque progression in an experimental and prospective clinical study.
Methods and results
In an experimental study, 8-week-old C57B6/J wild type male mice were subjected to irradiation with 9.6 Gy and transplantation with BM (BMT) isolated from GFP-transgenic NGFR wild type (WT) or knock-out (KO) mice at day 1. Four weeks after BMT, the right carotid artery was ligated for 4 weeks. Induced neointimal area was increased (p<0.05), where cells under apoptosis were decreased (p<0.05) in NGFR-KO-BMT group compared to WT-BMT group (n=4). NGFR+ cells were not detected in wild type sham-operated artery, whereas in the ligated artery in WT-BMT group NGFR+ cells assembled in the developed neointima and exclusively presented double positive with GFP, but absent in NGFR-KO-BMT group (p<0.05, n=4). In a clinical study, thirty patients with ACS who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled. The peripheral blood sample was collected on days 0, 3 and 7, and 9 months follow-up and the number of NGFR+MNCs were measured by flowcytometric analysis. The plaque volume at non-targeted coronary lesion (non-TL:>5 mm proximal or distal to the implanted stents) were quantitatively analysed using gray-scale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and Q-IVUS™ software at the acute phase and 9 months follow-up. The number of NGFR+MNCs in peripheral blood was 1.5-fold increased at day 3 (0.064±0.056%) compared to day 0 (0.042±0.030%) (p<0.05). The change in normalized total plaque volume (TAVN) at non-TL at 9 months was negatively correlated with the number of NGFR+MNCs at day 0 (r=−0.51), day 3 (r=−0.51) and 9 months (r=−0.59) after ACS (p<0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that NGFR+MNCs at day 0 (β=−0.48, p=0.01) and CRP (β=−0.53, P<0.01) are independent factors associating with TAVN change at non-TL at 9 months, regardless of LDL-cholesterol control level. ROC analysis revealed that NGFR+MNCs <0.049 at day 0 predicted the increase of TAVN with AUC 0.78; sensitivity 0.82 and specificity 0.67.
Conclusions
Bone marrow-derived peripheral NGFR+ cells negatively regulate arterial remodeling through appropriate apoptosis of neointimal cells and the peripheral level of NGFR+ cells in ACS predicts plaque progression at the non-targeted lesion.

Abstract
Despite the importance of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) for epithelial maintenance, there is limited understanding of how immune-mediated damage affects ISCs and their niche. We found that stem cell compartment injury is a shared feature of both alloreactive and autoreactive intestinal immunopathology, reducing ISCs and impairing their recovery in T cell-mediated injury models. Although imaging revealed few T cells near the stem cell compartment in healthy mice, donor T cells infiltrating the intestinal mucosa after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) primarily localized to the crypt region lamina propria. Further modeling with ex vivo epithelial cultures indicated ISC depletion and impaired human as well as murine organoid survival upon coculture with activated T cells, and screening of effector pathways identified interferon-γ (IFNγ) as a principal mediator of ISC compartment damage. IFNγ induced JAK1- and STAT1-dependent toxicity, initiating a proapoptotic gene expression program and stem cell death. BMT with IFNγ-deficient donor T cells, with recipients lacking the IFNγ receptor (IFNγR) specifically in the intestinal epithelium, and with pharmacologic inhibition of JAK signaling all resulted in protection of the stem cell compartment. In addition, epithelial cultures with Paneth cell-deficient organoids, IFNγR-deficient Paneth cells, IFNγR-deficient ISCs, and purified stem cell colonies all indicated direct targeting of the ISCs that was not dependent on injury to the Paneth cell niche. Dysregulated T cell activation and IFNγ production are thus potent mediators of ISC injury, and blockade of JAK/STAT signaling within target tissue stem cells can prevent this T cell-mediated pathology.

Abstract
PURPOSE Scalp cooling during chemotherapy infusion has been recently reported to have moderate efficacy in the mitigation of chemotherapy-induced alopecia; however, there are few reports on Asian patients. We aimed to clarify the effects of scalp cooling in Japanese women. PATIENTS AND METHODS Female Japanese breast cancer patients who planned to receive (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy participated in this prospective study on the efficacy of scalp cooling using the Paxman Scalp Cooling System for alopecia prevention. The primary outcomes were the rates of patients with Grade 3 alopecia (defined as hair loss of > 50%) and the rates of patients who used a wig or hat to conceal hair loss 1 month after the last infusion of chemotherapy. The subjects were given a brief questionnaire regarding headaches, bad mood, fatigue, and chills shortly after each cooling. RESULTS One hundred and forty-three patients participated in the study and used the cooling cap at least once. The mean and median ages of the subjects were 50.6 and 50, respectively (age range 28-76). One hundred and twenty-nine patients completed the planned chemotherapy of 4 to 8 cycles. Among them (7 patients were not evaluable), 74 patients (60.7%) had Grade 3 alopecia 1 month after chemotherapy. Of 80 patients who used the scalp cooling system throughout the planned chemotherapy (1 patient was not evaluable), 36 patients (45.6%) experienced Grade 3 alopecia. CONCLUSION The efficacy of scalp cooling during chemotherapy infusion for hair loss mitigation in Asian women is similar to that in Caucasian women.

Abstract
Introduction
Scalp cooling during chemotherapy infusion to mitigate hair loss for breast cancer patients is becoming popular in European and North American countries. But there is little prospective data regarding hair recovery after chemotherapy with scalp cooling. We reported on the results of hair loss prevention with scalp cooling during (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy with anthracyclines and/or taxanes for 122 Japanese breast cancer patients at the 2018 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Now we report on the prospective data of hair recovery of our 122 patients.
Patients and Methods
One hundred and twenty two Japanese breast cancer female patients who completed planned (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy used Paxman Scalp Cooling System for alopecia prevention and were evaluable for hair loss prevention in our prospective study. The scalp cooling was done 30 minutes prior to and during and 90 minutes after each chemotherapy infusion. We evaluated their hair recovery 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13 months after completion of the chemotherapy. We took photographs of the heads of the patients from 5 directions, namely front, back, both sides, and top and asked the patients about the use of a wig or hat to conceal the hair loss using a questionnaire at the times mentioned above. Primary outcomes were grades of alopecia judged by two investigators (defined as Grade 0: 0% of hair loss, G1: 1~25 %, G2: 26~50%, G3: > 50%)(objective grade) and patients' answers to the questionnaire (defined as Grade 0: not at all, G1: sometimes, G2: almost always)(subjective grade). Among 122 patients 79 completed scalp cooling during the whole planned chemotherapy cycles, but 43 discontinued it mostly after the first cycle due to several reasons. We compared the objective and subjective grades of hair loss between the patients who had completed the scalp cooling (79 patients: Group A) and those who had discontinued it (43 patients: Group B).
Results
Objective grades 1 month after completion of the chemotherapy were Grade 0 in 6 patients (4.9 %), G1 in 13, G2 in 29, and G3 in 74, and subjective grades at 1 month were Grade 0 in 3 patients (2.5 %), G1 in 13, G2 in 105, and unknown in 1. The changes over time in objective grades were as follows; 4 months: G0 55 (47.0 %), G1 52, G2 9, G3 1, unknown 5, 7 months: G0 99 (85.3 %), G1 15, G2 1, G3 1, unknown 6, 10 months: G0 105 (89.7 %), G1 10, G2 1, G3 1, unknown 5, 13 months: G0 104 (92.0 %), G1 7, G2 1, G3 1, unknown 9. On the other hand, the changes in subjective grades were as follows; 4 months: G0 12 (10.3 %), G1 29, G2 76, unknown 5, 7 months: G0 53 (45.7 %), G1 22, G2 41, unknown 6, 10 months: G0 80 (68.4 %), G1 15, G2 22, unknown 5, 13 months: G0 93 (82.3%), G1 7, G2 13, unknown 9. When we compared Group A with Group B, the rates of objective G0 were statistically significantly higher in Group A than Group B, at 4, 10, and 13 months (4 months: 55.7% vs. 28.9%, P = 0.010, 10 months: 96.1% vs. 78.0%, P = 0.006, 13 months: 97.3% vs. 81.6%, P = 0.011) and the rate of subjective G0 was also statistically significantly higher in Group A than Group B at 7 months (53.2 % vs. 30.8 %, P = 0.022). When we restricted the data to those with objective Grade 3 at 1 month, Group A showed tendency of faster hair recovery in the objective grades than Group B.
Conclusion
It is concluded that scalp cooling during chemotherapy infusion for Japanese breast cancer patients made their hair recovery faster.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
One disadvantage of hot balloon ablation (HBA) system is that real time monitoring of pulmonary vein (PV) potential is technically impossible. Therefore, the optimal radiofrequency-generated thermal energy application duration and application number are not completely established.
Purpose
The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of 2Fr 4-electrode unidirectional catheter inserted into PV along with HB for real time monitoring of PV potential and investigate the time to isolation (TTI) guided optimal application strategy for HB based PV isolation in the acute phase.
Methods
We evaluated 23 consecutive patients who performed PV isolation using HBA system. Real time monitoring of PV potential was performed by 2Fr 4-electrode unidirectional catheter inserted into PV along with HB (Figure1A). After HBA applications, PV isolation was validated by high-resolution mapping with the 20-pole steerable mapping (PENTARAY) catheter as a standard. PV potentials during HBA application were categorized into five patterns. PV potentials disappeared during HBA applications and not emerged again (acute isolation), disappeared but verified by PENTARAY catheter (pseudo isolation), once disappeared but emerged again during the same application (acute reconnection), visible but not disappeared (ineffective application) and Invisible (Figure1B).
TTI, difference between TTI and time to reach target temperature (TTRT), balloon temperature at isolation and ablation time after isolation were examined for each applications.
Results
Out of 92 PVs, 69/92 (75.0%) PVs were isolated using HBA and 23/92 (25.0%) PVs required touch up ablation. In total, 120 applications were performed. Real time monitoring of the PV activity was obtained in 114 of 120 applications (95.0%). The distribution of PV potential patterns were 64/120 (53.3%), 2/120 (1.7%), 27/120 (22.5%), 23/120 (19.2%), for acute isolation, pseudo isolation, acute reconnection, ineffective application, respectively.
TTI and difference between TTI and TTRT were significantly shorter in the acute isolation group. Balloon temperature at isolation was significantly lower, TTRT and ablation time after isolation was significantly longer in the acute isolation group. Among them, TTI and difference between TTI and TTRT were highly predictive by receiver operation characteristics curve analysis. TTI <36.5s predicted successful application with sensitivity 83.9% and specificity 79.3%. Difference between TTI and TTRT <6.5s predicted with sensitivity 82.3% and specificity 89.7%.
Figure 1
Conclusions
In HBA system, real time monitoring of PV potentials can be obtained using 2Fr 4-electrode unidirectional catheter and accuracy to confirm an ostial PV isolation is relatively high.
TTI <36.5s and difference between TTI and TTRT <6.5s could be a suitable target for effective application.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Augmented sympathetic nerve activity plays an important role in the progressive worsening disease severity. Most of anti-diabetic drugs were demonstrated to not only decrease blood glucose, but also increase sympathetic nerve activity. Recently, it has been reported that sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor has beneficial effects on cardiovascular events in spite of the decrease in blood glucose in type 2 DM patients. The underlying mechanisms remain speculative; however, it is assumed that SGLT2 inhibitor would improve sympathetic nerve activity in type 2 DM patients.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of SGLT2 inhibitor on sympathetic nerve activity in type 2 DM patients.
Methods
This study was designed as the prospective single-arm study. Type2 DM patients whose HbA1c >7.0% with at least one atherosclerotic risk factors (Hypertension, obesity, smoking history, aging ...) were included. Patients who had renal failure (eGFR<45ml/min/1.73m2) or high age patients (>80 years old) were excluded. We measured blood glucose, HbA1c and blood insulin concentration at baseline and 12 weeks after treatment of dapagliflozin (5mg/day). Muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) was applied to scrutinize accurate sympathetic nerve activity in type 2 DM patients. Also, baroreflex sensitivity was calculated by examining the relationship between MSNA and beat to beat diastolic blood pressure.
Results
Eleven type2 DM patients were included in this study. Body mass index, blood pressure, HbA1c and blood insulin concentration tended to decrease at 12weeks after dapagliflozin (body mass index: 27.2±6.3 vs. 24.9±3.2 kg/m2. systolic blood pressure: 121±12.3 vs. 118±13.6 mmHg. diastolic blood pressure: 74.3±6.3 vs. 72.5±7.6 mmHg. HbA1c: 7.6±0.3 vs. 7.2±0.7%. insulin: 9.7±7.2 vs. 8.8±5.1 μU/ml). Dapagliflozin significantly decrease MSNA and heart rate compared to baseline (46.7±7.5 vs. 38.6±6.9 bursts/minute, P<0.05. Heart rate: 80.6±8.5 vs. 72.8±7.4 beats per minute, P<0.05). However, there is no interaction between the reduction in MSNA and baroreflex sensitivity or insulin resistance.
12 weeks administration decreased MSNA
Conclusion
Our data demonstrated that dapagliflozin significantly decreased MSNA and HR beyond the lowering effect of blood glucose in type2 DM patients. These results indicate the favorable effect of SGLT2 inhibitor might be, in part, attributed to the improvement in sympathetic nerve activity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Therapeutic angiogenesis using adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) is an attractive strategy for ischemic cardiovascular diseases. We previously reported that human CD271+ population of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) promoted neovascularization with enhanced engraftment in a mouse model of hindlimb ischemia. However, whether and how CD271+ ADSCs promote the long-term engraftment is still uncertain.
Purpose
We aimed to examine whether the angiogenic effect and cell engraftment capacity of CD271+ ADSCs would be sustained in long-term period. Then, comparative gene profiling between CD271+ and CD271- ADSCs were analyzed. Finally, cell proliferation and endothelial differentiation assays were conducted.
Methods
ADSCs were isolated from subcutaneous adipose tissue of 5 patients received cardiovascular surgery. CD271+ and CD271- ADSCs were sorted from CD45-CD31-CD34+ ADSCs fraction by FACS sorting (Fig. A). Cultured CD271+ and CD271- ADSCs at passage 6 were labeled by PKH26 cell linker dye and used for xenograft experiments. Briefly, athymic nude mice were subjected to hindlimb ischemia and one million of human ADSCs were injected into the ischemic muscles. In control group, PBS was solely injected. At 2 and 5 weeks, neovascularization was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (capillary density using lectin perfusion). Cell engraftment was assessed by counting PKH26-positive cells. Furthermore, we compared gene profiling between CD271+ and CD271- ADSCs by microarray. Proliferative capacity was evaluated by colony-forming unit (CFU) assay with Giemsa staining. In endothelial differentiation assay, CD271+ and CD271- ADSCs were cultured in differentiation induction medium containing vascular endothelial growth factor for 2 weeks and stained with anti-human CD31 antibody.
Results
Cell therapy using CD271+ ADSCs demonstrated approximately 3-fold more enhanced neovascularization than those using CD271- ADSCs or PBS in histological analysis of capillary density at 2 weeks from cell therapy (Fig. B and C). At 5 weeks, mice treated with CD271+ ADSCs were significantly rescued from limb ischemia and this was accompanied by sustained engraftment of ADSCs (Fig. D). In microarray analysis, the differentially expressed 2167 genes were extracted to classify CD271+ and CD271- ADSCs. Pathway analysis demonstrated CD271 expression on ADSCs was associated with the pathways related to stemness and cell differentiation. Indeed, we found that genes related to cell proliferation (PI3K, Cyclin D, and Cyclin D2) were up-regulated in CD271+ ADSCs. Additionally, we found the pericytic marker nestin which was significantly up-regulated in CD271+ ADSCs. Consistent with these findings, CD271+ ADSCs were more proliferative and capable for endothelial differentiation while CD271- ADSCs were not.
FACS and cell therapy experiments
Conclusion
These results suggest that CD271+ ADSCs possess long-term engraftment and angiogenic capacity due to their less-aged and more pericytic gene profile.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hepatokine selenoprotein P (SeP) contributes to insulin resistance and hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes. Inhibition of SeP protects the heart from ischemia reperfusion injury and serum levels of SeP are elevated in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.
Objective
We investigated the role of SeP in the regulation of cardiac remodeling in response to pressure overload.
Methods and results
To examine the role of SeP in cardiac remodeling, transverse aortic constriction (TAC) was subjected to SeP knockout (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice for 2 weeks. Hepatic expression of SeP in WT was significantly increased by TAC. LV weight/tibial length (TL) was significantly smaller in SeP KO mice than in WT mice (6.75±0.24 vs 8.33±0.32, p<0.01). Lung weight/TL was significantly smaller in SeP KO than in WT mice (10.46±0.44 vs 16.38±1.12, p<0.05). TAC-induced cardiac upregulation of the fetal type genes, including atrial and brain natriuretic factors, was significantly attenuated in SeP KO compared to WT. Furthermore, azan staining revealed that there was significantly less interstitial fibrosis in hearts after TAC in SeP KO than in WT mice. To determine whether hepatic overexpression of SeP affects TAC-induced cardiac hypertrophy, a hydrodynamic injection method was used to generate mice that overexpress SeP mRNA in the liver. Hepatic overexpression of SeP in SeP KO mice lead to a significant increase in LV weight/TL and Lung weight/TL after TAC compared to that in other SeP KO mice.
Conclusions
These results suggest that cardiac pressure overload induced hepatic expression of SeP and the absence of endogenous SeP attenuated cardiac hypertrophy, dysfunction and fibrosis in response to pressure overload in mice. SeP possibly plays a maladaptive role against progression of heart failure through the liver-heart axis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF) increased the risk of development of kidney disease. The elimination of AF by catheter ablation is associated with improvement in renal function. However, the mechanism of cardio-renal interaction in AF has not been fully elucidated.
Purpose
We tested the hypothesis that left atrial volume index (LAVI), which is a marker of left atrial mechanical reserve, predicts improvement in renal function after restoring sinus rhythm with catheter ablation of AF.
Methods
We analyzed consecutive patients who underwent catheter ablation of AF from January 2012 to October 2018 and had completed follow-up more than 3 months after catheter ablation. Exclusion criteria were need for hemodialysis and acute hospitalization. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was assessed on admission and at the end of follow-up periods after catheter ablation and the difference was defined as ΔeGFR. Left atrial volume index was derived using the biplane area-length method.
Results
A total of 159 AF patients (paroxysmal 112 [70%], persistent 47 [30%]) were included in this study. The mean age was 65±11 years and 74% were male. During the mean follow-up period of 7.9±3.2 months, 105 patients (66%) were free from atrial tachyarrhythmias and 54 (34%) experienced the recurrence. Baseline eGFR and LAVI were not significantly different between the non-recurrence group and the recurrence group (71.0±17.4 and 75.1±22.8 mL/min/1.73m2; p=0.24, 35.7±12.5 and 37.9±15.0 ml/m2; p=0.34). ΔeGFR in the non-recurrence group was significantly greater compared with the recurrence group (+1.5±1.0 versus −4.3±1.4 mL/min/1.73m2; p=0.001). Baseline LAVI was negatively correlated with ΔeGFR in the non-recurrence group (r=−0.3; p=0.002; Figure), but not in the recurrence group (p=0.1). Multiple regression analysis in the non-recurrence group identified baseline LAVI (β=−0.35, p<0.001), baseline age (β=−0.31, p<0.001) and baseline eGFR (β=−0.59, p<0.001) as independent predictors for eGFR improvement after catheter ablation. In the patients with LAVI <34 ml/m2, age <70 years and eGFR <90 mL/min/1.73m2, the mean ΔeGFR was +6.3±1.9 mL/min/1.73m2.
Figure 1
Conclusions
LAVI, a marker of left atrial mechanical reserve, was an independent predictor of improvement in renal function after restoring sinus rhythm with catheter ablation of AF. This observation suggests that AF-related deterioration of renal function is due at least in part to impaired atrial mechanical function.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Recently scalp cooling during chemotherapy infusion has been reported to be quite effective to mitigate chemotherapy-induced alopecia. But data in Asian patients are quite limited.
Patients and methods
Japanese breast cancer female patients who planned to receive (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy were offered to participate in this prospective study of scalp cooling with Paxman Scalp Cooling System for alopecia prevention. The scalp cooling was done 30 minutes prior to and during and 90 minutes after each chemotherapy infusion. Photographs of the head of the participants were taken from 5 directions, namely front, back, both sides, and top, on the day of chemotherapy infusion and 1 month after the last infusion. Two investigators consisting of a physician and a nurse judged the grade of alopecia by looking at the photographs according to the WHO classification. The primary outcomes were the rates of patients with Grade 3 alopecia (defined as hair loss of > 50%) and the rates of patients who used a wig or hat to conceal the hair loss one month after the last infusion of chemotherapy. This paper reports on the former outcome mainly. They were asked to answer a brief questionnaire regarding headache, fatigue, chill etc. shortly after each cooling. They could use the cooling cap for free on the first cycle of chemotherapy. But they were required to purchase it (about 1,130 US$) for the scalp cooling of the following cycles.
Results
One hundred forty three patients participated in the study and actually used the cooling cap at least once. The mean and median age of them are 50.6 and 50, respectively (28 - 76). One hundred twenty nine patients completed the planned chemotherapy of 4 to 8 cycles (89 Pts 4 cycles, 1 Pt 6 cycles, 39 Pts 8 cycles). Among them (7 patients were not evaluable), 74 patients (60.7 %) had Grade 3 alopecia 1 month after chemotherapy. In 80 patients who used the scalp cooling system throughout the planned chemotherapy (1 patient was not evaluable), 36 patients (45.6 %) experienced Grade 3 alopecia. On the other hand, among 49 patients who discontinued the cooling mostly after the 1st cycle (6 were not evaluable), 38 (88.3 %) had Grade 3 alopecia. When we restrict them to 33 (5 were not evaluable) who decided to discontinue the cooling by day10 of the first cycle of chemotherapy to exclude the patients who discontinued it because of less effect on alopecia prevention than they expected, 25 (89.3 %) experienced Grade 3 alopecia. Comparing the results of those who completed the cooling and patients who decided to discontinue it by day10 of the first cycle, the rates of Grade 3 alopecia (45.6 % vs. 89.3 %) were statistically significantly different in favor of the former (P = 0.0001). Most patients complained of some headache, chill, and pain of the jaw.
Conclusion
Scalp cooling with Paxman Scalp Cooling System during chemotherapy infusion in Asian women seems as effective for hair loss mitigation as in Caucasian women.

Abstract
Human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3) expression in lung and breast cancers has a negative impact on survival. Patritumab, a human anti-HER3 mAb, has shown anticancer activity in preclinical models. This study examined the safety and pharmacokinetics of patritumab in combination with trastuzumab and paclitaxel in patients with HER2-overexpressing metastatic breast cancer. In this open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation, phase Ib study, patients received patritumab 9 or 18 mg/kg plus trastuzumab and paclitaxel at known tolerated doses. Safety and tolerability were assessed based on dose-limiting toxicities and other non-life threatening adverse events. The pharmacokinetic profile for patritumab was determined based on the target trough level. Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on the overall response rate and progression-free survival. Six patients received patritumab 9 mg/kg and 12 received 18 mg/kg. The most common adverse events were diarrhea, alopecia, leukopenia, neutropenia, and maculopapular rash. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed. The target trough serum concentration was achieved in all patients at a dose of 18 mg/kg. Overall response rate was 38.9% and median progression-free survival was 274 days. In conclusion, patritumab plus trastuzumab and paclitaxel was tolerable and efficacious at both doses. We recommend the dose level of 18 mg/kg for future phase II studies. (Clinical trial registration: JapicCTI-121772.).

Abstract
Purpose: To determine the most accurate criterion for predicting malignancy of small cervical lymph nodes with gray-scale ultrasound (GSUS) and power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS). Material and Methods: Findings of 69 pathologically verified cervical nodes (38 benign, 31 malignant) in 57 patients without wide echogenic hilum on GSUS that measured less than 10 mm in minimal axial diameter were prospectively studied. Minimal and maximal axial diameters, ratios of minimal to maximal axial diameters, and presence or absence of calcification or necrosis of the nodes were assessed. On PDUS, vascularity in the node was classified into 4 pattern groups. A logistic model was used to evaluate the significant factors for predicting malignancy. Results: The logistic model revealed that the minimal axial diameter and vascularity patterns were the only significant factors for malignancy. Using the minimal axial diameter, a node larger than 8 mm showed the highest accuracy (73%) with 45% sensitivity and 93% specificity. Of the vascularity patterns, spotted or peripheral pattern had the highest accuracy (80%) with 61% sensitivity and 93% specificity. A combined criterion of the minimal axial diameter larger than 8 mm and spotted or peripheral pattern increased the accuracy to 82% and sensitivity to 77% but specificity decreased to 86%. Conclusion: A combined criterion of minimal axial diameter and vascular patterns was most accurate for diagnosing occult metastatic lymph nodes in the neck.

Abstract
Computed tomographic appearances of 147 surgically proven mediastinal tumors (113 benign and 34 malignant lesions) were evaluated paying special attention to their localization or extension. Ten of the 113 benign lesions (9%) showed atypical or unique localization or extension, and were divided into three groups. In the first group, two lymphangiomas and one bronchogenic cyst spread over both the precardiovascular and the retrocardiovascular compartments, mimicking a malignant lesion. In the second group, the single cases of thymic hypertrophy, thymic cyst, schwannoma, and pericardial cyst were located atypically in the retrocardiovascular compartment. In the last group, two esophageal leiomyomas and one esophageal duplication showed upward and downward longitudinal extension beyond the azygos arch and the aortic arch.

Abstract
In order to determine the value of sonography (US), in staging cancer of the mobile tongue, 57 patients were studied prospectively. Real-time sector scanners (5 and 7.5 MHz) were used with a submental approach. The findings by US were compared with those obtained by inspection and palpation and in 13 operated patients with the surgical results. US failed to visualize the tumor in 3 of the 57 patients (5%); in 30 patients (53%), the tumor was considered to be of nearly the same size by US and by palpation, but in 17 cases (30%), to be larger by US than by palpation, and in the remaining 7 cases (12%), to be smaller by US. Extension across the midline (8/8), and depth of tumor penetration, or extension to adjacent structures (5/5) were more correctly evaluated by US. We conclude that US is useful for staging work-up of tumors of the mobile tongue.

Abstract
A patient with hemangioendothelioma is described, who developed a metastatic pulmonary nodule, subsequently a bullous lesion contiguous to the nodule, and finally spontaneous pneumothorax. In such cases, newly formed bullous lesions may conceal originally visible metastatic foci and can be a potential source of spontaneous pneumothorax.

Abstract
Purpose: To compare the effect of compression of spiral low-dose CT images by the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) and wavelet algorithms on detection of small lung cancers. Material and Methods: Low-dose spiral CT images of 104 individuals (52 with peripheral lung cancers smaller than 20 mm and 52 control subjects) were used. The original images were compressed using JPEG or wavelet algorithms at a ratio of 10:1 or 20:1. Five radiologists interpreted these images and evaluated the image quality on a high-resolution CRT monitor. Observer performance was studied by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results: There was no significant difference in the detection of cancers measuring 6 to 15 mm in uncompressed images and in those compressed by either of the algorithms, although the quality of images compressed at 20:1 with the wavelet algorithm was somewhat inferior. A lower diagnostic accuracy was noted using images compressed by the JPEG or wavelet algorithms at 20:1 in detecting lung cancers measuring 6 to 10 mm and cancers measuring from 6 to 15 mm with ground-glass opacity. Conclusion: Compression of low-dose CT images at a ratio of 10:1 using JPEG and wavelet algorithms does not compromise the detection rate of small lung cancers.
