Efficacy against Lung Cancer Is Augmented by Combining Aberrantly N-Glycosylated T Cells with a Chimeric Antigen Receptor Targeting Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 Neighbor. J Immunol 2024; 212:917-927.

Abstract
The adaptive transfer of T cells redirected to cancer cells via chimeric Ag receptors (CARs) has produced clinical benefits for the treatment of hematologic diseases. To extend this approach to solid cancer, we screened CARs targeting surface Ags on human lung cancer cells using (to our knowledge) novel expression cloning based on the Ag receptor-induced transcriptional activation of IL-2. Isolated CARs were directed against fragile X mental retardation 1 neighbor (FMR1NB), a cancer-testis Ag that is expressed by malignant cells and adult testicular germ cells. Anti-FMR1NB CAR human T cells demonstrated target-specific cytotoxicity and successfully controlled tumor growth in mouse xenograft models of lung cancer. Furthermore, to protect CAR T cells from immune-inhibitory molecules, which are present in the tumor microenvironment, we introduced anti-FMR1NB CARs into 2-deoxy-glucose (2DG)-treated human T cells. These cells exhibited reduced binding affinity to immune-inhibitory molecules, and the suppressive effects of these molecules were resisted through blockade of the N-glycosylation of their receptors. Anti-FMR1NB CARs in 2DG-treated human T cells augmented target-specific cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Thus, our findings demonstrated the feasibility of eradicating lung cancer cells using 2DG-treated human T cells, which are able to direct tumor-specific FMR1NB via CARs and survive in the suppressive tumor microenvironment.

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.

Abstract
AIM To determine the predictors of physical function (PF) decline among nursing home residents using items from the Long-term care Information system For Evidence (LIFE), a system launched in 2021 to ensure the quality of long-term care. METHODS The LIFE data of 1648 residents from 45 nursing homes in Japan were retrospectively collected in July 2021 (T0) and January 2022 (T1), including demographics, PF assessed by the Barthel index (BI), nutrition and oral health, and cognitive function. The Dementia Behavior Disturbance scale was used to assess the frequency of certain behaviors, such as "waking at midnight." The predictors of PF decline, defined as a decrease ≥5 in the BI score at T1 compared with that at T0, were determined using mixed-effects logistic regression analyses. PF at T0 was classified into high (>60 BI) and low (≤60 BI) groups. RESULTS The participants' mean age was 87.2 ± 7.1 years, and 45.3% experienced PF decline. The significant predictors of PF decline were age ≥ 90 years, body mass index <18.5 kg/m2 , dementia diagnosis, moderate and severe cognitive impairments, not vocalizing reciprocal exchanges at will, always "waking at midnight," and high PF at T0. CONCLUSIONS The LIFE items predicted PF decline among nursing home residents, suggesting that LIFE data can be used to ensure the quality of long-term care. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; 24: 123-132.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To compare CT (computed tomography) values for enhancement of the abdominal aorta and liver parenchyma during dynamic contrast enhancement (CE) CT in cirrhotic patients with and without splenomegaly (SM). METHODS We considered 258 patients (83 males and 46 females for the splenomegaly group, and 83 males and 46 females for the control group) for this retrospective study. We measured CT values in the abdominal aorta and hepatic parenchyma during the hepatic arterial (HAP) and portal venous (PVP) phases. The aortic CE at HAP and the hepatic parenchymal CE at PVP were compared between the two groups. For success rate of scans, we also calculated the optimal CE rates (>280 HU in the abdominal aorta and >50 HU in the hepatic parenchyma) for each group. RESULTS In the SM group, the CE for abdominal aorta was decreased during the aortic phase for a dynamic CE-CT (p < 0.05). When evaluating the success rates, they were found to be 65.1 % and 58.9 % in the SM group and 81.4 % and 72.3 % in the non-SM group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The success rate of scans and CE for the abdominal aorta during the aortic phase exhibited a significant decrease during dynamic CE-CT scans on patients with SM. Patients with SM may have reduced diagnostic ability with typical contrast injection protocols. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE It may be necessary to change the injection rates and contrast medium volume during CE-CT depending on the presence or absence of SM.

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
OBJECTIVES In 2021, the Japanese government began operating a long-term care (LTC) database called the Long-Term Care Information System for Evidence (LIFE). However, its utility has not been verified. Regarding unplanned hospital visits of nursing home residents, one of the challenges in LTC is that poor oral health with undernutrition could indicate high-risk residents. Therefore, this study examined the association between poor oral health with undernutrition assessed using the LIFE data and unplanned hospital visits of nursing home residents. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS The participants were 237 residents aged ≥65 years in 4 nursing homes in Japan. The analyses included 1041 LIFE data entries repeatedly measured for the participants every month and unplanned hospital visit data during the observation period. METHODS The participants' LIFE and unplanned hospital visit data were obtained from the nursing home providers. Poor oral health was defined using oral items included in the LIFE data and body mass index. Using the LIFE data, the association between poor oral health and unplanned hospital visits within 1 month after LIFE assessment entries was analyzed. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs were calculated using a generalized linear mixed model. RESULTS In total, 59 of 1041 LIFE data (5.7%) entries were unplanned hospital visits within 1 month after LIFE assessment. Among patient characteristics, significant differences were noted in dementia diagnosis [OR (95% CI): 2.66 (1.26-5.63)], although no significant differences were observed in other characteristics. Multivariate analysis using participant identification as a random effect confirmed that poor oral health was associated with unplanned hospital visits within 1 month [adjusted OR (95% CI): 2.63 (1.05-6.61)]. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Poor oral health assessed using the LIFE data could be used as an indicator to identify nursing home residents at high risk for unplanned hospital visits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the use of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) in pregnant Japanese women and to evaluate their safety in infants. METHODS Data were extracted from the claims database of the Japan Medical Data Center. The prevalence of CNIs was evaluated 180 days before pregnancy onset, during pregnancy, and within180-days post partum. We investigated the characteristics of the infants, including the presence of major malformations and their diagnoses, for 1 year after birth. RESULTS A total of 91,865 pregnancies in 80,049 women were included. Fifty-three women were prescribed CNIs between 180-day before pregnancy onset and 180-day postpartum; 35 of the 53 women were prescribed the drugs during pregnancy, and 10 of their infants were born preterm. Three were diagnosed with major congenital malformations, such as patent ductus arteriosus. Six preterm infants presented with infant respiratory distress syndrome. CONCLUSIONS No congenital anomalies were clearly attributable to the use of CNIs during pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence suggests that non-viral hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) might benefit less from immunotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from consecutive patients with non-viral advanced HCC, treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, lenvatinib, or sorafenib, in 36 centers in 4 countries (Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, and UK). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib. Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib, and OS and PFS with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib. For the primary and secondary endpoints, we carried out the analysis on the whole population first, and then we divided the cohort into two groups: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) population and non-NAFLD/NASH population. RESULTS One hundred and ninety patients received atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, 569 patients received lenvatinib, and 210 patients received sorafenib. In the whole population, multivariate analysis showed that treatment with lenvatinib was associated with a longer OS [hazard ratio (HR) 0.65; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44-0.95; P = 0.0268] and PFS (HR 0.67; 95% CI 0.51-0.86; P = 0.002) compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. In the NAFLD/NASH population, multivariate analysis confirmed that lenvatinib treatment was associated with a longer OS (HR 0.46; 95% CI 0.26-0.84; P = 0.0110) and PFS (HR 0.55; 95% CI 0.38-0.82; P = 0.031) compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. In the subgroup of non-NAFLD/NASH patients, no difference in OS or PFS was observed between patients treated with lenvatinib and those treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. All these results were confirmed following propensity score matching analysis. By comparing patients receiving atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib, no statistically significant difference in survival was observed. CONCLUSIONS The present analysis conducted on a large number of advanced non-viral HCC patients showed for the first time that treatment with lenvatinib is associated with a significant survival benefit compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, in particular in patients with NAFLD/NASH-related HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Many patients with cancer experience challenges when they return to work (RTW) following cancer diagnosis and treatment. Psycho-educational support is important to facilitate the RTW process. OBJECTIVE: This scoping review examined published reports on psycho-educational support for patients with cancer who RTW. METHODS: We followed the preferred reported items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses statement and the framework of Arksey and O’Malley. We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials database, PubMed, CINAHL (EBSCO), and ICHUSHI and performed manual searches. RESULTS: We retrieved 1,586 articles and retained 48 for analysis (published January 2000 to December 2020). Physicians, occupational physicians, nurses, social workers, and psychologists provide considerable support in hospitals. Delivery modes included individual, face-to-face, and workbook. Psychological support included emotional, stress coping, counseling, and knowledge. Educational support included information or advice provision, communication skills, problem discussion, and work planning. Employment status was typically the primary outcome. We included 50 measurement scales across quality of life, cognitive functioning and illness, self-efficacy, psychological distress, and fatigue. CONCLUSION: This review elucidated psycho-educational support for patients with cancer who RTW, and measurement tools for related effects. Based on the characteristics of the psycho-educational support revealed in this study, future studies should examine the development, intervention, and implementation of support programs for patients’ RTW.

Abstract
The motility of cilia and flagella plays important physiological roles, and there has been a great deal of research on the mechanisms underlying the motility of molecular motors. Although recent molecular structural analyses have revealed the components of the ciliary axoneme, the mechanisms involved in the regulation of dynein activity are still unknown, and how multiple dyneins coordinate their movements remains unclear. In particular, the mode of binding for axonemal dynein has not been elucidated. In this study, we constructed a thermodynamic stochastic model of microtubule-dynein coupling and reproduced the experiments of Aoyama and Kamiya on the minimal component of axonemal microtubule-dynein. We then identified the binding mode of axonemal dynein and clarified the relationship between dynein activity distribution and axonemal movement. Based on our numerical results, the slip-bond mechanism agrees quantitatively with the experimental results in terms of amplitude, frequency, and propagation velocity, implying that axial microtubule-dynein coupling may follow a slip-bond mechanism. Moreover, the frequency and propagation velocity decayed in proportion to the fourth power of microtubule length, and the critical load of the trigger for the oscillation agreed well with Euler's critical load.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
This study was to investigate effect of SERa on the fertilization rate, embryonic development after ICSI, and clinical and perinatal outcomes after single blastocyst transfer.
Summary answer
SERa (+) derived embryo can be selected as embryos for transfer when no available SERa (-) derived embryos.
What is known already
Based on findings that the risk of congenital abnormalities in the newborn is higher in ovum with SERa in the cytoplasm, the Istanbul consensus workshop at the 2011 meeting of the ESHRE recommended against fertilizing ovum with SERa due to these risks. However, there have been several reports of healthy infants born from embryos derived from SERa, suggesting that, while more long-term follow-up is necessary, healthy births are possible from such embryos. In 2017, the 2011 recommendations were reviewed in the Alpha/ESHRE consensus (Vienna), which said the approach should be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Study design, size, duration
We retrospectively investigated 23,007 oocytes which was retrieved between January 2016 and March 2020. Of these, 1,038 oocytes (4.5%) with visible SERa comprised SERa (+), while 21,969 oocytes (95.5%) without SERa comprised SERa (-).
Participants/materials, setting, methods
SERa were observed under the microscopy after denudation. The rate of fertilization, good-quality day-3 embryos, good-quality day-5 blastocysts, and day-5, 6 or 7 blastocysts were evaluated for both groups. We also compared the rate of clinical pregnancy, live birth, miscarriage, and birth defects in single blastocyst transfer between SERa (+) derived 114 blastocysts and SERa (-) derived 6,290 blastocysts from January 2016 and December 2018.
Main results and the role of chance
The results are shown. 2PN fertilization rate outcomes after ICSI (SERa(-) eggs vs. SERa(+)eggs),81.4%(17,873/21,969) vs.79.4% (823/1,038),and good-quality day3 rate was 61.1%(10,927/17,873)vs.60.9% (501/823) which was not significantly different. Good-quality day5 blastocyst rate was 46.5% (7,876/16,955) vs. 39.8%(304/763), and day 5 blastocyst success rate was 60.8% (10,317/16,955) vs.54.3% (414/763), which were both significantly lower with SERa(+). (P < 0.001) The day 6 blastocyst success rate was 69.9% (11,849/16,955) vs. 65.5% (500/763) (P = 0.01), and the day 7 blastocyst success rate was 70.9% (12,024/16,955) vs. 67.5% (515/763) (P = 0.04), which were all significantly lower with SERa(+).The clinical pregnancy rate was 39.4% (2,481/6,290) vs. 35.1% (40/114), the live birth rate was 27.7% (1,745/6,290) vs. 26.3% (30/114), and the miscarriage rate was 27.5% (683/2,481) vs. 20.0% (8/40) and the congenital abnormality rate was 1.6% (29/1,757) vs. 0% (0/30) for SERa(-) embryos and SERa(+) embryos, respectively, which were not significantly different. Blastocyst derived from oocytes with SERa has similar clinical and perinatal outcomes with those of oocytes without SERa. Significant differences were examined using the chi-squared test, with p < 0.05, indicating a significant difference.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Embryos derived SERa (+) were transferred when the patient did not want any more oocytes retrievals, no embryos derived SERa (-) were available, and only if the couple desired embryo transfer after the problems associated with SERa (+) embryos were fully explained.
Wider implications of the findings
To the best of our knowledge, this study is the largest number of live births investigating the outcome of SERa (+) derived embryos. SERa (+) derived embryo can be selected as embryos for transfer when no available SERa (-) derived embryos.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Is it possible to identify the optimal puncture position by image analysis where oocyte degeneration is reduced in ICSI procedure?
Summary answer
Visualizing the likelihood of unintentional membrane rupture (UMR) using image analysis can reduce oocyte degeneration and thereby generate more embryos available for treatment.
What is known already
It is known that the oocyte degeneration after both conventional-ICSI and Piezo-ICSI are often observed when UMR occurs during the puncturing process and the likelihood of UMR may depends on the location of the puncture site on the oolemma. Identifying the appropriate puncturing position may decrease the likelihood of membrane rupture and thus degeneration, however, there are no studies identifying the optimal puncture position during ICSI.
Study design, size, duration
We have developed the ICSI Position Detector (IPD), which can identify an area where rupture is likely to occur and visualize it on a video monitor. This study included 1,110 mature oocytes retrieved from 190 consenting patients. Matured oocytes were inseminated either by Conventional-ICSI (n = 437, average maternal age: 39.1±4.6 y.o.) or Piezo-ICSI (n = 673, average maternal age: 38.6±4.5 y.o.). ICSI was performed blindly, moving images were recorded and analyzed retrospectively during ICSI using IPD.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Inseminated oocytes were subsequently divided into two groups according to IPD results, oocytes on which ICSI was performed at the position with a low chance of UMR (appropriate group), and with a high chance of UMR (non-appropriate group) by IPD. The rates of UMR, degeneration, fertilization (2PN), blastocyst formation, and good-quality blastocyst (Grade 3BB and above on day 5 by the Gardner scoring) were compared between the two groups of both conventional-ICSI and Piezo-ICSI.
Main results and the role of chance
The areas in which UMR is less likely to occur and more likely to occur are heterogeneously distributed. When ICSI was performed blindly, about half was from the non-appropriate position. In appropriate group of Piezo-ICSI, rates of UMR (4.3% vs. 17.4%, P < 0.001) and degeneration (1.0% vs. 5.7%, P < 0.001) were significantly lower than those of non-appropriate group, whereas rates of fertilization (88.0% vs. 78.4%, P < 0.01) and blastocyst formation (57.8% vs. 45.9%, P < 0.01) were significantly higher than those of non-appropriate group, respectively. The rate of good-quality blastocyst (28.8% vs. 24.9%) was in favor of appropriate group, but not significantly different. In appropriate group of Conventional-ICSI, rates of UMR (6.7% vs. 20.6%, P < 0.001) and degeneration (1.5% vs. 6.6%, P < 0.01) were significantly lower than those of non-appropriate group, whereas rate of fertilization (88.7% vs. 69.5, P < 0.001) was significantly higher than those of non-appropriate group, respectively. The rates of blastocyst formation (37.5% vs. 35.3%), good-quality blastocyst (21.3% vs. 18.7%) were all in favor of appropriate group, but not significantly different.
Limitations, reasons for caution
This is a single private fertility clinic study. Its reproducibility should be assessed in different laboratory conditions and the hands of different operators. Moreover, specific studies should be addressed on the effect of the other putative confounders under investigation (e.g. kind of ovulation trigger, patient demographics, culture environment, etc.).
Wider implications of the findings
This study demonstrated that the IPD is useful to identify the optimal puncture location site to prevent UMR on ICSI procedure, resulting in reducing UMR and degeneration of the oocytes and increasing culture results, thereby, generating more embryos available for transfer or cryopreservation.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What is the frequency of azoospermia factor (AZF) microdeletions and sperm retrieval rate (SRR) by micro TESE in patients with these deletions?
Summary answer
AZFc is most frequent of Y chromosome microdeletions and a predictor of micro TESE outcome in Japanese azoospermic men.
What is known already
After Klinefelter syndrome, Y chromosome microdeletions are the second most frequent genetic cause of male infertility, with a prevalence of 2%-10% in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and three spermatogenesis loci in the Y chromosome long arm (Yq11) have been classified as AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc. The classical correlation of histopathology phenotypes with these three microdeletions comprises of complete absence of germ cells (Sertoli cell-only syndrome) in patients with AZFa microdeletions, maturation arrest of meiosis in patients with AZFb microdeletions, and hypospermatogenesis in patients with AZFc microdeletions, however, individual variation in the extent of deletions has led to various spermatogenic phenotypes.
Study design, size, duration
We performed a retrospective study based on two reproduction centers in Japan and evaluated 1373 azoospermic patients in our clinics between September 2013 and December 2021. We investigated the frequency of AZF microdeletions and SRR by micro TESE in patients with these microdeletions and therefore aimed to evaluate the correlation between AZF microdeletions and micro TESE results.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
A total of 1373 azoospermic were enrolled. After the diagnosis of azoospermia, karyotype analysis and detection of Y chromosome microdeletions were performed on peripheral blood lymphocytes of these patients. Y chromosome microdeletions in AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc regions were detected using Promega Y Chromosome AZF Analysis System version 2.0 (Promega Co.). Twenty sequence-tagged sites within the AZF region of Yq11 and the sex-determining region Y gene were targeted for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification.
Main results and the role of chance
One hundred and fifty-two AZF microdeletions (11.1%) were detected in the azoospermic patients. The most common deleted region was AZFc (60 cases, 4.4%). Among the patients, 17 (1.2%), 1 (0.1%), 42 (3.1%), 13 (1.0%), and 6 (0.5%) had AZFa, AZFa+b, AZFb+c, AZFb, and AZFa+b+c microdeletions, respectively. When the cases were grouped according to causes of infertility that could be detected, no Y chromosome microdeletions were detected in some groups (cases with Klinefelter Syndrome, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, congenital absence of vas deferens, and 47, XYY karyotype). Fifty-three azoospermic men with AZFc microdeletions underwent micro TESE, and spermatozoa were detected in 88.7% (47/53) of these men. In contrast, we detected spermatozoa in only 20.4% (109/534) of the azoospermic men without AZF microdeletions. The SRR was much higher in patients with AZFc microdeletions than that of patients without AZF deletions. Although three azoospermic men with AZFb+c microdeletions had also undergone micro TESE following patient request, we did not retrieve spermatozoa.
Limitations, reasons for caution
We excluded post chemotherapy NOA showing 46, XX and AZFa+b+c deletions post bone marrow transplantation from female donor. Additionally, we did not detect AZFc partial deletion including gr/gr deletion. The cohort size of this study is not small, however, our screened population of infertile men may be biased.
Wider implications of the findings
NOA patients with AZFc microdeletions had a high percentage of successful sperm retrieval by micro TESE. Our study emphasizes that diagnosis of Y chromosome microdeletions is critical for preconception genetic counseling and provides clinically valuable prognostic information to couples considering surgical sperm retrieval.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does the area of oocyte perivitelline space have an effect on fertilization and embryo development following intracytoplasmic sperm injection?
Summary answer
The area of oocyte perivitelline space has not an effect on the fertilization but the embryo development following intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
What is known already
Oocyte perivitelline space has a lot of variation at intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Some researchers reported that the characteristics of perivitelline space (large or small) affect embryo development, pregnancy, and implantation. However, these studies did not accurately calculate the area of perivitelline space. Therefore, little information is available on the effect of the area of oocyte perivitelline space on fertilization and embryo development following ICSI. The purpose of this study was to calculate and classify the area of oocyte perivitelline space and investigate the effect of the area of perivitelline space on fertilization and embryo development following ICSI.
Study design, size, duration
1. We retrospectively investigated 634 mature oocytes that were conducted ICSI between January 2021 and December 2021. The area of each oocyte perivitelline space was defined from between the area of circle calculated from the inner layer of zona pellucida and cytoplasm and divided into 3 groups (-9%, 10-19%, 20%-).
2. We retrospectively calculated the diameter of an inner layer of zona pellucida and cytoplasm and compared it with the 3 groups (-9%, 10-19%, 20%-).
Participants/materials, setting, methods
1. The fertilization, survival, good quality day-3 embryo, blastocyst, good quality blastocyst rates following ICSI were compared with the 3 groups (-9%, 10-19%, 20%-).
2. The average diameter of an inner layer of zona pellucida and cytoplasm of each oocyte for the 3 groups (-9%, 10-19%, 20%-) were compared.
The data were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test, residual analysis, one-way ANOVA test, with Bonferroni correction as appropriate to determine the statistical differences among groups.
Main results and the role of chance
1. The survival rates of perivitelline space -9%, 10-19%, 20%- groups were 100% (109/109), 96% (363/378), 94% (138/147), the fertilization rates were 89% (97/109), 88% (331/378), 86% (127/147), the good quality day-3 embryo rates were 56% (54/97), 70% (232/331), 70% (89/127) respectively. No significant difference was observed between these comparison items. The blastocyst rates of perivitelline space -9%, 10-19%, 20%- groups were 51% (47/92), 69% (222/321), 82% (93/114), the good quality blastocyst rates were 22% (20/92), 40% (129/321), 52% (59/114) respectively. The blastocyst and good quality blastocyst rates of perivitelline space -9% group showed significantly lower results. On the other hand, the blastocyst and good quality blastocyst rates of perivitelline space 20%- group showed significantly higher results.
2. The average diameter of an inner layer of zona pellucida of perivitelline space -9%, 10-19%, 20%- groups were 125 ± 4 µm, 129 ± 5 µm, 136 ± 6 µm, the average diameter of the cytoplasm of perivitelline space were 121 ± 4 µm, 119 ± 4 µm, 118 ± 4 µm respectively. Significant differences were observed in all pairs of groups of the average diameter of an inner layer of zona pellucida and cytoplasm.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The area of oocyte perivitelline space was calculated at only one plane.
Wider implications of the findings
Oocytes with narrow perivitelline space might have a wide region of adhesive between the cytoplasm surface and an inner layer of the zona pellucida which resulted in a smaller diameter of the zona pellucida and lower blastocyst rate by forming cytoplasmic fragments (Yumoto K et al. JARG. 2020 ;37(6):1349-1354.).

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
To evaluate the effectiveness of chlormadinone acetate (CMA) for preventing premature LH surge in patients with normal ovarian reserve compared to cetrorelix.
Summary answer
In progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) than GnRH antagonist (GnRH-ant), the incidence of premature LH surge was significantly lower, without significant difference in oocyte maturation rate.
What is known already
The GnRH-ant protocol is one of the conventional protocols which has some disadvantages including increased premature LH surge rate and cancelation rate. In recent years, the PPOS protocol has attracted attention as a new ovarian stimulation using progestin as an alternative to GnRH analog for suppressing a premature LH surge, however its efficacy is still controversial. In addition, many studies have investigated the reproductive outcomes of PPOS using medroxy-progesterone acetate or dydrogesterone; however, there are few reports of CMA, an oral progestin, which is inexpensive and widely used in Japan.
Study design, size, duration
This retrospective cohort study was performed in a reproduction center between March 2018 and October 2020 which included 977 Japanese patients with normal ovarian reserve undergoing PPOS with CMA (n = 299), or GnRH antagonist (GnRH-ant) with cetrorelix (n = 608) in their first IVF cycle at the reproduction center. In subgroup analysis, pregnancy outcomes after frozen embryo transfers (FET) between PPOS (n = 284) and GnRH-ant (n = 579) were also compared.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The inclusion criteria were patients aged < 40 years and AMH ≧ 1.1 ng/mL, who underwent autologous oocyte retrieval in their first IVF cycle with freeze-all strategy. The primary outcome was the incidence of premature LH surge, the secondary outcomes was oocyte maturation rate. To reduce the impact of treatment bias and potential confounding factors, we conducted logistic regression models with inverse-probability-of-treatment weighting (IPTW).
Main results and the role of chance
After IPTW, baseline clinical data were well-balanced between the two groups, including age, AMH, BMI, the duration, type, and cause of infertility, antral follicle count, the history of recurrent spontaneous abortion, and previous IVF attempts. The premature LH surge rate was significantly lower with PPOS (3.1%) compared to GnRH-ant (20.1%) (odds ratio, 0.21; 95% confidence interval, 0.11–0.36). No significant differences were found in total gonadotropin dose (2400IU for PPOS vs 2400IU for GnRH-ant, p = 0.136), the number of oocyte retrieval (n = 15 vs n = 15, p = 0.484), oocyte maturation rate (78.8% vs 77.8%, p = 0.275), fertilization rate (73.0% vs 72.0%, p = 0.412), viable embryo rate per oocyte retrieval (40% vs 40%, p = 0.890), and good quality blastocyst rate (72.0% vs 69.6%, p = 0.092). However, the good quality day-3 embryo rate was significantly lower with PPOS (37.2% vs 49.1%, p < 0.05). There were no differences in the incidence of moderate-to-severe OHSS (0.3% vs 0.7%, p = 0.481). In FET cycles, the pregnancy outcomes, such as implantation rate (43.1 % vs 51.9 %, p = 0.013) and clinical pregnancy rate (46.5% vs 54.7%, p = 0.027) were significantly lower with PPOS, however, no significant differences were found in ongoing pregnancy rate (75.6% vs 80.5%, p = 0.325), and live birth rate (72.4% vs 79.5 %, p = 0.142).
Limitations, reasons for caution
This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in a single center. The participants in this study were limited to Japanese ethnicity. The results need to be validated across different centers and other ethnicities.
Wider implications of the findings
This is the first report assessing the reproductive outcomes on PPOS using CMA, widely used in Japan. The PPOS with CMA significantly suppressed the premature LH surge rate compared to GnRH-ant protocol, without decrease in oocyte maturation rate.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to identify factors related to a sense of security with regard to medical and long-term care services among middle-aged and older adults. These are for consideration of strategies for the establishment of a community-based integrated care system. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 2400 men and women aged ≥40 years in two cities. Survey items included a scale for sense of security for medical and long-term care, experience of medical and long-term care services, and social and demographic factors. Data were analyzed using univariate and multiple regression analyses. RESULTS In total, 945 respondents were included in the analysis. In multiple regression analysis, sense of security was significantly higher with ability to consult with medical professionals on medical and long-term care, availability of emotional and instrumental support, norm of reciprocity in the community, community attachment, economic comfort, higher age and male gender, and significantly lower with experience of bereavement at a hospital and depression. CONCLUSIONS These findings stress the importance of facilitating consultation with medical professionals, support for caregivers of terminally ill patients, and mutual support in the community in a community-based integrated care system.

Abstract
CONTEXT End-of-life discussions regarding healthcare preferences are important to ensure a dignified end of life. OBJECTIVES This study clarifies the factors associated with such discussions among community-dwelling people in Japan. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 2400 randomly selected community-dwelling adults over the age of 40 in one urban and rural area each, in Japan. The survey investigated whether the respondents had engaged in discussions about their end-of-life care preferences. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the physical, psychological, social, and demographic factors influencing end-of-life care discussions. RESULTS Of the final sample comprising 1172 respondents, 41.0% had engaged in end-of-life discussions. Of these, 95.2% had engaged in these discussions with family members, 11.0% with friends and acquaintances, and 4.4% with medical or long-term care personnel. Factors associated with end-of-life discussion engagement included requiring outpatient visits, long-term care requirements, availability of emotional support services, experience of the death of a relative within the past five years, living with a spouse, and being unemployed. CONCLUSION The results showed that roughly 41% of the surveyed community-dwelling respondents had engaged in end-of-life discussions. The findings suggest that providing emotional support to relieve anxiety regarding one's health and the awareness of death, and having the opportunity to interact with others to discuss end-of-life issues, promote the engagement in such discussions in Japan. This study suggests that it is necessary to create an environment that provides social support and engenders awareness of the importance of end-of-life discussions while the community-dwelling people are still healthy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment remains a big challenge in the field of oncology. The liver disease (viral or not viral) underlying HCC turned out to be crucial in determining the biologic behavior of the tumor, including its response to treatment. The aim of this analysis was to investigate the role of the etiology of the underlying liver disease in survival outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective study on a large cohort of patients treated with lenvatinib as first-line therapy for advanced HCC from both Eastern and Western institutions. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS Among the 1232 lenvatinib-treated HCC patients, 453 (36.8%) were hepatitis C virus positive, 268 hepatitis B virus positive (21.8%), 236 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) correlate (19.2%) and 275 had other etiologies (22.3%). The median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 6.2 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 5.9-6.7 months] and the median overall survival (mOS) was 15.8 months (95% CI 14.9-17.2 months). In the univariate analysis for OS NASH-HCC was associated with longer mOS [22.2 versus 15.1 months; hazard ratio (HR) 0.69; 95% CI 0.56-0.85; P = 0.0006]. In the univariate analysis for PFS NASH-HCC was associated with longer mPFS (7.5 versus 6.5 months; HR 0.84; 95% CI 0.71-0.99; P = 0.0436). The multivariate analysis confirmed NASH-HCC (HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.48-0.86; P = 0.0028) as an independent prognostic factor for OS, along with albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade, extrahepatic spread, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, portal vein thrombosis, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and alpha-fetoprotein. An interaction test was performed between sorafenib and lenvatinib cohorts and the results highlighted the positive predictive role of NASH in favor of the lenvatinib arm (P = 0.0047). CONCLUSION NASH has been identified as an independent prognostic factor in a large cohort of patients with advanced HCC treated with lenvatinib, thereby suggesting the role of the etiology in the selection of patients for tyrosine kinase treatment. If validated, this result could provide new insights useful to improve the management of these patients.

Abstract
AIM As the older adult population increases globally, it is important for local governments to measure their health and well-being consistently to effectively support this group. Because definitions of subjective well-being - such as happiness, life satisfaction and subjective health - overlap, it is worth considering which single-item indicator local governments can rely on to measure individual well-being. This study, therefore, explored the correlation between three single-item questionnaires on happiness, life satisfaction and subjective health used in government surveys, and established psychometric scales of happiness, life satisfaction and quality of life, and analyzed which of the three single-item indicators most effectively captured the target well-being. METHODS Randomly selected people aged ≥65 years in urban and rural areas (n = 1440) answered the questions on the Happiness Scale, the Satisfaction with Life Scale and the Quality of Life scale, and the three single-item questionnaires (happiness, life satisfaction and subjective health). We analyzed the data using correlation and multiple regression analyses. RESULTS The results showed a high positive correlation between the scales and the single-item questionnaires. The single-item life satisfaction and subjective health questionnaires were significantly correlated with all the three scales. Although there was not much difference in the adjusted R2 values between putting three items jointly and separately, the value of single-item life satisfaction was the best and the subjective health was the second best. CONCLUSION The results showed that the single-item life satisfaction and subjective health effectively captured the target well-being; these could be the appropriate indicators for a potential optimal index.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The incidence of Brugada syndrome (BrS) varies among racial groups. Several studies reported Glycerol-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase 1-Like (GPD1-L) gene is associated with BrS. However, most of these studies were reported from Western countries, so the evidence about GPD1-L mutation is limited especially among Asian BrS patients. This study aimed to search for rare variants in GPD1-L among Japanese BrS patients and to investigate the pathogenicity.
Method
We performed whole-exome sequencing for patients with Brugada type 1 ECG pattern from Japanese multicenter BrS cohort consisting of SCN5A-negative BrS probands (n=288) and controls (n=372). We conducted patch-clamp study in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells cotransfected with the wild-type sodium channel (SCN5A) and wild-type or mutant GPD1-L expression plasmid.
Results
We identified a rare variant in GPD1-L, p.D262N (c.784g>a) in 2 of 288 BrS probands, which was not identified in 372 controls. The minor allele frequency of the variant is 0.0014% in the Genome Aggregation Database. One proband was a 49-year-old man and the other was 34-year-old man who both developed a ventricular fibrillation. ECGs of both probands showed Brugada Type 1 pattern after administration of the pilsicainide. In functional study, coexpression of D262N GPD1-L with SCN5A in HEK293 cells significantly reduced inward sodium currents compared with wild-type GPD1-L. Additionally, inward sodium currents with D262N were similar to those with A280V GPD1-L, which was associated with BrS in previous reports (Figure). Also, several pathogenicity prediction programs, such as SIFT (score: 0.031) and PolyPhen2 (score: 0.937) predicted deleterious effects of GPD1-L D262N.
Conclusion
We identified a rare variant in GPD1-L at the rate of 0.7% in Japanese BrS patients without SCN5A mutations. GPD1-L, p.D262N reduces inward sodium currents and may be a novel susceptible variant for BrS in the Japanese population.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does direct unequal cleavage (DC) affect embryonic development after ICSI with testicular sperm (TESE-ICSI) in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and/or obstructive azoospermia (OA)?
Summary answer
The incidence of DC at the first cleavage (DC1) was extremely high and DC1 negatively affected embryonic development in NOA patients.
What is known already
It has been reported that the blastocyst development of embryos with direct cleavage (DC) was significantly lower than that without DC, but the clinical pregnancy rate after blastocyst transfer was not different with or without DC. The incidence of DC has been reported to be significantly higher after ICSI with testicular sperm (TESE-ICSI) than ICSI with ejaculated sperm (Ej), but to our knowledge, there are few reports investigating that the embryos with DC after TESE-ICSI affect embryonic development.
Study design, size, duration
We conducted a retrospective cohort study using time-lapse incubators (Geri, Genea Biomedx, Australia) from September 2018 to November 2020. Of 1033 two-pronuclear (2PN) embryos from TESE-ICSI, 486 and 547 embryos were from OA (35.9±5.5 years) and NOA (33.7±5.2 years), respectively. As an age matched control, we chose 581 embryos from ICSI using Ej (36.5±4.4 years).
Participants/materials, setting, methods
DC embryos were classified as DC1 (DC at first cleavage), DC2 (DC at second cleavage), and non-DC (without DC). The incidences of DC1 or DC2 and blastocyst development rates were compared among OA, NOA and Ej groups. In TESE-ICSI group, we compared blastocyst development rates with or without DC between good and poor quality embryos on day 3. Good quality embryos were defined as 8 cells with G3 or more by the Veeck’s classification.
Main results and the role of chance
DC1 incidence was significantly higher in NOA (37.3%) than OA (27.8%) and Ej (22.7%) (P < 0.01), whereas DC2 incidence was not statistically different among three groups; NOA (15.7%), OA (15.0%) and Ej (13.4%). Blastocyst development rates in DC1 were 17.8%, 19.5% and 25.8% for NOA, OA and Ej, respectively, which were significantly lower compared to non-DC in corresponding three groups (65.1%, 67.7%, and 68.5%, respectively, P < 0.01). In TESE-ICSI group, good-quality embryo rate on day 3 was significantly lower in DC1 (34.5%, P < 0.01) than DC2 (60.9%) or non-DC (54.2%). Additionally, blastocyst development rates in DC1 and DC2 were significantly lower than non-DC regardless of embryonic grades on day 3 (35.1%, 51.0%, and 81.6% for good-quality embryos on day 3, 10.1%, 27.0%, and 49.1% for poor-quality embryos on day 3, respectively, P < 0.05). When immotile sperm was used for TESE-ICSI, DC1 incidence was 40.0% (6/15), which did not show statistically differences. When performing single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfers, no pregnancies resulted from either DC1 (n = 13) or DC2 (n = 3) embryos in TESE-ICSI group.
Limitations, reasons for caution
We had a few data about the pregnancy rates after blastocyst transfers with DC, because embryos with DC were seldom transferred due to those lower priority. Although DC might be influenced by the sperm, we did not analyze the incidence of DC by taking the semen factors into account.
Wider implications of the findings: The incidence of DC1 was extremely high and DC1 negatively affected embryonic development in NOA patients. Therefore, it is important to observe embryos using time-lapse incubator in order to recognize embryos with/without pregnancy potential, especially for embryos with DC1 in NOA patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
To analyze whether microfluidic sperm selection (MSS) by ZyMōt™ improves sperm DNA fragmentation rate and embryonic development compared to density gradient centrifugation with swim-up (DGCS).
Summary answer
MSS by ZyMōt™ selects sperm for clinical use with less DNA damage significantly compared to DGCS.
What is known already
Conventional sperm preparation methods, such as density gradient centrifugation and the swim-up method utilize centrifugation during processing, may damage the sperm. MSS may allow for improved selection of normal sperm compared with conventional sperm preparation as it yields sperm with a lower DNA fragmentation rate. However, there are few clinical studies by sibling oocytes study compared to DGCS.
Study design, size, duration
This prospective study was performed between March 2020 and May 2020 at a reproductive center. All patients involved gave written consent, and institutional review board approval was granted. A total of 575 metaphase II oocytes were collected from 49 cycles. Wife’s age was 34.7 ± 3.9 years old. Raw sperm concentration and motile sperm concentration was 63.1 ± 78.7M/mL, and 41.6 ± 67.7M/mL, respectively.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Patients who performed ART for the first or second time were divided into two groups according to MSS and DGCS. Sperm DNA fragmentation rate (SDFR) and motile sperm concentration were compered between MSS and DGCS. SDFR was measured by sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) using a flow cytometer. Sibling oocytes were randomized into MSS-IVF, DGCS-IVF, MSS-ICSI, and DGCS-ICSI. Rate of two pronuclear (2PN) oocytes, blastocysts development, and good-quality blastocysts were compared between each group.
Main results and the role of chance
SDFR was 13.5 ± 11.8% for raw semen. SDFR was significantly lower after MSS (3.6 ± 4.1%) than that for raw semen and after DGCS (17.4 ± 14.8%) (P < 0.01). Motile sperm concentration after MSS (19.0 ± 28.3M/mL) was significantly higher after than after DGCS (15.4 ± 15.3M/mL) (P < 0.01). The number of IVF performed was 145 for MSS and 132 for DGCS. IVF results (MSS vs DGCS) were 2PN rate (73.1% vs 72.0%), blastocysts development rate (65.3% vs 55.4%), and good quality blastocysts rate (43.2% vs 34.9%). The number of ICSI performed was 149 for MSS and 149 for DGCS. ICSI results (MSS vs DGCS) were 2PN rate (77.9% vs 79.2%), blastocysts development rate (68.8% vs 65.8%), and good quality blastocysts rate (35.8% vs 30.6%). No significant difference was observed between MSS and DGCS for each parameter both IVF and ICSI.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The participants were limited to those who collected semen of 2mL or more and motile sperm concentration of above 1M/mL, because semen sample needed to be divided to MSS and DGCS.
Wider implications of the findings: This is the first study to conducted in sibling oosytes study with MSS and DGCS, in both IVF and ICSI. MSS is effective in collecting sperm with less DNA damage compared to DGCS. Motile sperm concentration after using MSS is sufficient to perform IVF as well as DGCS.

Abstract
Background:Telemedicine can be performed using a conventional videophone or web conferencing system. Then, joint lesions can only be observed and inferred from two-dimensional images, and it is difficult to perform accurate joint assessments, which is essential for the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Objectives:To develop the next-generation online telemedicine system utilizing mixed reality for RA.Methods:We have developed a system that can assess joints accurately in three-dimensions images in real-time, using Azure Kinect DK (depth sensor)/ HoloLens 2 (headset), which are mixed reality technologies, and Teams (online interview/chat) provided by Microsoft. Furthermore, by applying artificial intelligence (AI), we plan to implement additionally to this system 1) a function to quickly catch and automatically evaluate the patient’s anxiety and changes in facial expressions at the time of examination, 2) a function to record dialogue with the patient in chronological order, 3) a function to support the detection of swollen joints, and 4) function to automatically analyze the questionnaire.Results:This system remotely connects a rheumatologist in the Nagasaki University Hospital (Nagasaki City, urban area) and a patient with RA and a non- rheumatologist in the Goto Central Hospital (Goto Island, rural area). A three-dimensional hologram of the patient’s hand projected in front of a rheumatologist. Using this system, we are able to evaluate joints more accurately than using a conventional videophone or web conferencing system.Conclusion:It is expected that this system will enable remote medical care specializing in rheumatology, which is standardized at a high level even in areas without rheumatologists such as remote islands and remote areas. This system remotely connects Nagasaki City and Goto Island, but due to the performance of the system, it is not limited to these areas and it is possible to connect rheumatologists to any area that can be connected to the network. It is also effective for the purpose of avoiding the risk of infection during long-distance hospital visits under the epidemic of COVID-19 infection.References:[1]Mov Disord. 2020;35:1719-1720.Disclosure of Interests:Shin-ya Kawashiri Speakers bureau: Speaker fees from AbbVie, Asahi Kasei, Astellas, Chugai, Eisai, Eli Lilly, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Novartis, and ONO., Grant/research support from: Research grants from Pfizer., Fumiaki Nonaka: None declared, Shinji Chiba: None declared, Tomoyuki Honda: None declared, Tomohiko Nakajima: None declared, Tomoyuki Ishikawa: None declared, Atsushi Kawakami Speakers bureau: Speaker fees from AbbVie, Actelion, Asahi Kasei, Astellas, Boehringer Ingelheim, Celltrion, Chugai, Daiichi Sankyo, Eisai, Eli Lilly, GSK, Janssen, Kowa, MedPeer, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Novartis, ONO, Pfizer, Taisho, and Takeda., Grant/research support from: Grants and research support from AbbVie, Actelion, Asahi Kasei, Astellas, AYUMI, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celltrion, Chugai, Daiichi Sankyo, Eisai, Eli Lilly, Kyowa Hakko Kirin, MSD, Neopharma, Novartis, ONO, Sanofi, Taisho, Takeda Science Foundation, and Teijin

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous Ca2+ sensor molecule encoded by three distinct calmodulin genes, CALM1–3, and has an important role for cardiac ion channel function. Recently, heterozygous missense mutations in CALM genes were reported to cause a new category of life-threatening genetic arrhythmias such as long-QT syndrome (LQTS) and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), which is called as “calmodulinopathy”. The patients with calmodulinopathy show poor prognosis and there is no effective treatment for them.
Purpose
Considering the dominant-negative effect of mutant calmodulin proteins produced by heterozygous missense mutations in CALMs, we aimed to prove the concept of antisense-based therapy to treat calmodulinopathy using human iPS cell-derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC-CM) model.
Methods
We designed multiple locked nucleic acid (LNA) gapmer-antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) targeting CALM2 and analyzed the silencing efficiency and toxicity in cultured cells to select the most potent ASO. Using CMs differentiated from hiPSCs which were generated form a 12-year-old boy with LQTS carrying a heterozygous CALM2-N98S mutation, CALM2 expression and action potentials (APs) were analyzed to evaluate the efficacy of ASOs.
Results
We identified several ASOs which reduced CALM2 expression without affecting cell viability in human cultured cells (HepG2) (ASO 50 nM, n=2; Figure 1A). Considering further experiments in vivo mouse model, we investigated the CALM2 silencing activity in mouse cultured cells (3T3-L1) without transfection (free-uptake) (ASO 1 μM, n=2; †ASOs have homologous sequence between human and mouse; Figure B). After free-uptake CALM2 silencing analysis in 3T3-L1 cells, we identified that ASO #2 has the most potent CALM2 silencing activity and low cytotoxicity (Figure 1B). ASO #2 effectively reduced CALM2 expression even in hiPSC-CMs (ASO(−): n=3, lipofection: n=4, free-uptake: n=3; P<0.05; Figure 1C). In action potential recordings, we demonstrated that ASO #2 ameliorated prolonged AP durations (APD90) in N98S-hiPSC-CMs at 0.5 Hz pacing (ASO(−): 666±123 ms (n=7), lipofection: 329±21 ms (n=8), free-uptake: 388±34 ms (n=12); P<0.05; Figure 1D).
Conclusion
Our results using patient-derived hiPSC-CM model suggest that ASO-based therapy might be a promising strategy for the treatment of calmodulinopathy.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
We identified a large family of 53 members of whom 22 present a new cardiac syndrome characterized by electrical disorders and developmental defects following an autosomal dominant model. Among the affected family members 6 are implanted with a pacemaker, 2 experienced syncope and one a sudden death at 43yo. Linkage analysis points, with high confidence, to the chromosome 4q25 region. This region is associated with the Ankyrin syndrome (mutation in ANK2) sharing partly the electrical defects observed in the affected family members. No mutation was found in the coding region of the 4q25 region as well as in the coding and non-coding part of the ANK2.
Objective
Our aims are first to identity the responsible mutation present in this family and understand the molecular mechanisms leading to this new syndrome.
Method
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has been employed to identify genetic variants responsible for this syndrome. ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq were used for functional annotation and genome editing (CRISPR-Cas9) to generate iPS cellular models.
Results
By WGS we uncovered a deleted region of 15kb in a gene desert area on 4q25, segregating in all affected relatives. Five other families (3 French and 2 Japanese) presenting the same phenotype show overlapping deletions. We generated human cardiac epigenetic data and identified among the 15kb deleted region a unique active enhancer region within the presence of a transcript factor CTCF binding site. Isogenic cell lines where the 15kb and the CTCF binding have been deleted are under investigation.
Conclusion
We identified a new cardiac syndrome and for the first time a mutation located within a gene desert area leading to severe and complex cardiac disorders. We demonstrated the presence of a likely gene regulatory element. Experiments are ongoing to characterize the molecular mechanisms and consequence of the deletion on gene expression.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hyperuricemia occurs in approximately 80% in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and is positively correlated with pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). It has been reported that uric acid (UA) reduced endothelium derived nitric oxide (NO) production in porcine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAEC). However, the effects of UA and xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), catalytic enzyme of UA, on the development of PAH have not been fully elucidated.
Purpose
We examined the followings; (1) the effects of hyperuricemia on the endothelial function and the development of PAH in rats (2) the therapeutic effects of UA transporter inhibitor on PAH in rats, and (3) the role of XOR in PAH in mice.
Methods
We used normal and 5-wk Sugen5416/Hypoxia/Normoxia-exposed (SU/Hx/Nx) rats. Gene expression levels of URATv1, a UA transporter, were measured by RT-PCR. We determined the isometric tension of PA rings isolated from normal rats. The study with the isolated perfused lung preparation was performed in SU/HX/Nx rats. To investigate the chronic effect of UA on the development of PAH, hyperuricemia was induced by the administration of 2% oxonic acid (OA) in diet for 6-wk. Benzbromarone (BBR, 10mg/kg/day, diet, from weeks 0 to 5), a URATv1 transporter inhibitor, was administered in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats with or without 2%OA. To examine the role of XOR in PAH, XOR+/− and wild type (WT) mice were exposed to 3-wk Nx or Hx (10% O2).
Results
The mRNA of URATv1 was detected in the normal lungs. Isometric tension study showed that UA (8 mg/dl) inhibited acetylcholine-induced vasorelaxation. In perfused lung preparations, UA acutely increased estimated PVR in a dose-dependent manner (1.6–16.0mg/dl) with reducing cGMP levels in the lungs. BBR significantly attenuated the pressor response to UA. UA levels in the plasma and the lung tissues were significantly elevated in SU/Hx/Nx-rats with 2%OA (normal vs. vehicle vs. 2%OA, plasma: 0.24±0.01 vs. 0.80±0.14 and 1.44±0.17 mg/dl; lung tissues: 68±3 vs. 142±3 and 377±46 pmol/g tissue). They exhibited further elevation of right ventricle systolic pressure (RVSP) (31±2 vs. 72±6 vs. 101±3 mmHg) and Ea (a marker of RV afterload) (0.24±0.04 vs. 0.97±0.15 vs. 2.36±0.49 mmHg/μL) with the exacerbation of occlusive lesions of PAs. BBR had no changes in the UA levels in the plasma (1.93±0.30 mg/dL), but significantly reduced the UA levels in the lung tissues (101±10 pmol/g tissue) and attenuated the increase in RVSP (53±8mmHg) and Ea (0.21±0.05 mmHg/mL) in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats with 2%OA. On the other hand, BBR had no effects on RVSP (76±7 mmHg) and Ea (0.91±0.15 mmHg/mL) in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats without 2%OA. There were no significant differences in RVSP between XOR+/− mice with Hx and WT with Hx (26±2 vs. 26±2 mmHg).
Conclusions
Hyperuricemia itself impairs endothelial function and deteriorates PAH via URATv1 in a XOR-independent manner. UA can be a novel therapeutic target for PAH.

Abstract
Mirogabalin is a novel, preferentially selective α2δ-1 ligand to treat neuropathic pain. However, this agent is not always effective for patients with neuropathic pain. We therefore attempted to identify factors that could predict the efficacy of mirogabalin. The study comprised 133 patients given mirogabalin for alleviation of neuropathic pain between April and November 2019 at our hospital. Variables were extracted from medical records for regression analysis of factors associated to alleviation of neuropathic pain. We evaluated the effect of mirogabalin at two weeks after administration. Groups were categorized according to degree of improvement: poor, effective, or very effective. Multivariate ordered logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors for the usefulness of mirogabalin. Threshold measures were analysed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Maintenance dose [odds ratio (OR) = 0.90; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.84-0.98; P = 0.01], concomitant use of opioids (OR = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.08-0.83; P = 0.023) and Neurotropin® (NTP) (OR = 4.78, 95% CI =1.04-21.93; P = 0.044) were factors significantly correlated to the effect of mirogabalin. ROC curve analysis of the effective group indicated a threshold maintenance dose of≤ 20 mg/day (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.53). In conclusion, maintenance dose (≤ 20 mg), concomitant use of opioids and NTP were identified as predictors for the utility of mirogabalin.

Abstract
Background:Treatment with biological DMARDs (bDMARDs) rapidly improves signs and symptoms in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The efficacy of these bDMARDs was evaluated using composite measures or biomarkers used in daily clinical practice or clinical studies. Although a rapid improvement in composite measures or biomarkers is important in the treatment of RA, the primary goal of treatment is improvement of long-term health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) [1]. HR-QOL is evaluated based on physical functions (PF) such as muscle power and agility. We reported the 1-year results of our study presented at EULAR 2019 [2]. The present study was conducted to investigate the 2-year results of our study by including more patents than those included in the previous one.Objectives:This study was aimed at investigating the efficacy of bDMARDs with respect to PF and fall risk in RA patients.Methods:At our institute, in addition to routine rheumatology evaluation, periodic evaluation of physical function is performed by staff members in our rehabilitation center in RA patients in whom the first bDMARD treatment was initiated in Oct. 2015–Feb. 2018. In total, 41 cases were registered in this study. Evaluation of PF included evaluation of muscle power [grasping power (GP) and knee extension power (KEP)]; agility [time up and go test (TUG) and 10-m walking time (10 mW)]; and a questionnaire using modified HAQ, portable fall risk index [3], and the 25-question geriatric locomotive function scale (locomo25) [4] at baseline (BL), which implies the time at the initiation of bDMARD treatment, i.e., 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Disease activity of RA was evaluated at the same time points. Although 2 years had elapsed from BL in 37 patients, 13 patients dropped out from the evaluation of physical function owing to cessation of bDMARD treatment, rejection of evaluation for physical function, or major joint surgery performed in a patient. The results of 24 patients who completed the evaluation at 24 months were investigated in this study.Results:Baseline characteristics of the 24 patients were as follows: mean age 60.8 years, RA duration 12.3 years, mean SDAI 19.0, and mean CRP level 2.1 mg/dl. The bDMARDs used in the study were abatacept in 7 patients, adalimumab in 4 patients, tocilizumab in 4 patients, golimumab in 4 patients, etanercept in 3 patients, certolizumab in 1 patient, and an infliximab biosimilar in 1 patients. Data are presented as mean values at BL and at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months (Fig.1). SDAI and CRP levels were significantly improved at and after 1 month. GP and KEP were significantly improved at and after 3 and 6 months. TUG and 10 mW results were significantly improved at and after 3 and 6 months. Modified HAQ results were significantly improved at and after 3 months. Locomo25 scores were significantly improved at and after 1 month. Portable fall risk index values were significantly improved at and after 12 months.Conclusion:Although there was a rapid improvement in the signs and symptoms of RA after the initiation of bDMARD treatment, improvement in PF was slightly delayed. Significant improvement of muscle power and agility was achieved after 3–6 months onward. Inhibition of fall risk was achieved at and after 12 months after the initiation of bDMARD treatment. These results suggest that physiotherapy plays a vital role in RA patients who undergo treatment with bDMARDs to gain more rapid improvement of PF.References:[1]Smolen JS et al.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is one of the important procedures for atrial fibrillation (AF). Attaining the stability of RFA, respiratory management and pain control during the procedure are required.
Purpose
We compared the characteristic parameters and procedural outcomes between general anesthesia and moderate (conscious) sedation in patients with AF performed RFA.
Methods
We performed a retrospective, 2-center observational study to compare the general anesthesia with moderate sedation during RFA on AF from January 2018 until December 2018. In general anesthesia group, we administrated propofol and muscle relaxants under mechanical ventilation. In moderate sedation group, we administrated dexmedetomidine and/or propofol with analgesic drug. Procedural time of AF ablation, first-pass PVI (pulmonary vein isolation after completing the right or left circle) were assessed.
Results
A total of 98 patients with mean age 66 ± 11 years were enrolled (80 males, 81%). Of these, 19 patients were performed RFA under general anesthesia and 79 patients were performed under moderate sedation. Age, gender, BMI, medications before admission and CHADs2 score (general anesthesia:1.9 ± 1.2 vs moderate sedation:1.5 ± 1.1, p = 0.14), left atrium diameter (40.2 ± 6.2 vs 40.6 ± 6.8 mm, p = 0.81) and proportion of paroxysmal AF (47.4 vs 54.4%, p = 0.61) were similar between two groups. Our study found catheter RFA with general anesthesia to be associated with reduced procedural time (161 ± 29 vs 241 ± 58 minutes, p < 0.01) and improved the rate of first-pass PVI (left pulmonary vein: 84.2 vs 59.5%, p = 0.06 and right pulmonary vein: 84.2 vs 58.2%, p =0.04).
Conclusions
RFA under general anesthesia improved first-pass PVI (quality of PVI) and shortened procedural time. General anesthesia may attribute to attaining the catheter and patient stability during RFA for PVI.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The use of an orexin 2 receptor (OX2R) agonist may be a promising approach for the treatment of narcolepsy type 1. TAK-994 is a novel, orally available OX2R-selective agonist with >700-fold selectivity against orexin 1 receptor. Single administration of TAK-994 ameliorates narcolepsy-like symptoms such as fragmentation of wakefulness and cataplexy-like episodes in orexin/ataxin-3 mice, a narcolepsy mouse model with orexin deficiency. In this study, we evaluated the effect of chronic dosing with TAK-994 on sleep/wakefulness states in orexin/ataxin-3 mice.
Methods
Orexin/ataxin-3 mice were grouped into two cohorts: a control group and a 14-day treatment group. In the control group, vehicle was administered orally to mice three times a day: zeitgeber time 12 (ZT12), ZT15 and ZT18, for 14 days. In the 14-day treatment group, TAK-994 was administered orally to mice at ZT12, ZT15 and ZT18 for 14 days. Electroencephalogram/electromyogram analysis was performed on day 1 and day 14 (ZT12-ZT21), and the subsequent sleep phase (ZT0-ZT10).
Results
On day 1, TAK-994 significantly increased wakefulness time, accompanied by a decrease in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep time and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep time, in orexin/ataxin-3 mice compared with the control group. On day 14, TAK-994 also significantly increased wakefulness time, and decreased NREM sleep time and REM sleep time in orexin/ataxin-3 mice. There were no changes in the time spent in wakefulness, NREM sleep and REM sleep during the subsequent sleep phase after chronic dosing with TAK-994.
Conclusion
Wake-promoting effects of TAK-994 were observed following chronic dosing for up to 14 days in orexin/ataxin-3 mice with no rebound of sleep. Overall, there was no clear difference in efficacy between the single and repeated administration of TAK-994 in orexin/ataxin-3 mice.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Patients with narcolepsy type 1 (NT1) suffer from distressing symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and cataplexy. Modafinil is widely used as a therapy for NT1; however, it has limited efficacy for EDS and no efficacy for cataplexy. TAK-925 is an orexin 2 receptor (OX2R)-selective agonist which improves multiple symptoms of narcolepsy such as fragmentation of wakefulness and cataplexy-like episodes, and also reduces weight gain, in orexin/ataxin-3 mice, a narcolepsy mouse model. An early proof of concept study showed TAK-925 increased wakefulness compared to placebo in individuals with NT1; however, a head-to-head comparison between TAK-925 and modafinil in NT1 has not been performed to date. In this study, we carefully compared the wake-promoting effects of TAK-925 and modafinil in orexin/ataxin-3 mice.
Methods
TAK-925 or modafinil was administered to orexin/ataxin-3 mice at zeitgeber time 12, and the sleep/wakefulness states were evaluated based on electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram measurements. EEG spectral analysis was performed by fast Fourier transform during wakefulness. EEG frequency band was divided into five frequency bands: delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma.
Results
Both TAK-925 and modafinil significantly increased wakefulness time, and ameliorated fragmentation of wakefulness, in orexin/ataxin-3 mice during active phase. In contrast, TAK-925, but not modafinil, significantly decreased delta power, and increased alpha and gamma power during wakefulness in orexin/ataxin-3 mice, suggesting a shift in EEG power density toward higher frequencies.
Conclusion
TAK-925, but not modafinil, enhanced cortical arousal and suppressed signs of somnolence and drowsiness. In a phase 1 study in individuals with NT1, TAK-925 was found to have pronounced effects on the maintenance of wakefulness test, reaching a total duration of 40 minutes wake time at some doses tested. Spectral analysis will be evaluated in future studies in NT1 patients.

Abstract
We measured missing mass spectrum of the ^{12}C(γ,p) reaction for the first time in coincidence with potential decay products from η^{'} bound nuclei. We tagged an (η+p) pair associated with the η^{'}N→ηN process in a nucleus. After applying kinematical selections to reduce backgrounds, no signal events were observed in the bound-state region. An upper limit of the signal cross section in the opening angle cosθ_{lab}^{ηp}<-0.9 was obtained to be 2.2 nb/sr at the 90% confidence level. It is compared with theoretical cross sections, whose normalization ambiguity is suppressed by measuring a quasifree η^{'} production rate. Our results indicate a small branching fraction of the η^{'}N→ηN process and/or a shallow η^{'}-nucleus potential.

Abstract
Background The Endoscopic Surgical Skill Qualification System (ESSQS) was introduced in Japan to improve the quality of laparoscopic surgery. This cohort study investigated the short‐ and long‐term postoperative outcomes of colorectal cancer laparoscopic procedures performed by or with qualified surgeons compared with outcomes for unqualified surgeons. Methods All laparoscopic colorectal resections performed from 2010 to 2013 in 11 Japanese hospitals were reviewed retrospectively. The procedures were categorized as performed by surgeons with or without the ESSQS qualification and patients' clinical, pathological and surgical features were used to match subgroups using propensity scoring. Outcome measures included postoperative and long‐term results. Results Overall, 1428 procedures were analysed; 586 procedures were performed with ESSQS‐qualified surgeons and 842 were done by ESSQS‐unqualified surgeons. Upon matching, two cohorts of 426 patients were selected for comparison of short‐term results. A prevalence of rectal resection (50·3 versus 40·5 per cent; P < 0·001) and shorter duration of surgery (230 versus 238 min; P = 0·045) was reported for the ESSQS group. Intraoperative and postoperative complication and reoperation rates were significantly lower in the ESSQS group than in the non‐ESSQS group (1·2 versus 3·6 per cent, P = 0·014; 4·6 versus 7·5 per cent, P = 0·025; 1·9 versus 3·9 per cent, P = 0·023, respectively). These findings were confirmed after propensity score matching. Cox regression analysis found that non‐attendance of ESSQS‐qualified surgeons (hazard ratio 12·30, 95 per cent c.i. 1·28 to 119·10; P = 0·038) was independently associated with local recurrence in patients with stage II disease. Conclusion Laparoscopic colorectal procedures performed with ESSQS‐qualified surgeons showed improved postoperative results. Further studies are needed to investigate the impact of the qualification on long‐term oncological outcomes.

Abstract
Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are the most common cause of familial Parkinson's disease (PD). Impaired mitochondrial function is suspected to play a major role in PD. Nonetheless, the underlying mechanism by which impaired LRRK2 activity contributes to PD pathology remains unclear. Here, we identified the role of LRRK2 in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondrial tethering, which is essential for mitochondrial bioenergetics. LRRK2 regulated the activities of E3 ubiquitin ligases MARCH5, MULAN, and Parkin via kinase-dependent protein-protein interactions. Kinase-active LRRK2(G2019S) dissociated from these ligases, leading to their PERK-mediated phosphorylation and activation, thereby increasing ubiquitin-mediated degradation of ER-mitochondrial tethering proteins. By contrast, kinase-dead LRRK2(D1994A)-bound ligases blocked PERK-mediated phosphorylation and activation of E3 ligases, thereby increasing the levels of ER-mitochondrial tethering proteins. Thus, the role of LRRK2 in the ER-mitochondrial interaction represents an important control point for cell fate and pathogenesis in PD.

Abstract
Background
One of the novel echocardiographic indices reflecting left ventricular (LV) diastolic filling is the combination of mitral annular peak systolic (s’) and early diastolic velocities (e’) with early transmitral peak flow velocity (E); E/(e’ x s’). This index is reported to be useful to predict a prognosis of heart failure patients regardless of their LV ejection fraction (LVEF).Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine whether or not E/(e’ x s’) could predict cardiac events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods: We studies consecutive ACS patients hospitalized in our institution between December 2009 and February 2012. They underwent echo examination within 7 days after admission. By use of Doppler tissue imaging, e’ and s’ were respectively calculated by averaging the peak velocities measured at both septal and lateral mitral annulus in 4-chamber view. The exclusion criteria were as follows: atrial fibrillation, significant valvular diseases and inadequate echo images. Cardiac events were defined as re-hospitalization due to recurrent ACS and/or heart failure, and cardiac mortality.Results: In total, 168 patients were eligible for this study (mean age 67 ± 11 years, mean LVEF 51.7 ± 10.3 %). Median follow-up period was 22.5 months. During the follow-up, cardiac events occurred in 27 patients (16.1%). Between the patients with cardiac events and those without, there were significant differences in LV end-systolic volume (44.2 ± 29.1 vs 33.2 ± 13.6 ml, p < 0.05), LV mass index (122.4 ± 38.9 vs 107.5 ± 26.4 g/m², p < 0.05), left atrial volume index (31.7 ± 9.2 vs 27.6 ± 9.4 ml/m², p < 0.05), LVEF (45.7 ± 13.5 vs 52.9 ± 9.2 %, p < 0.05), s’ (5.1 ± 1.6 vs 7.1 ± 1.7 cm/sec, p < 0.001), e’ (4.8 ± 1.3 vs 6.0 ± 1.9 cm/sec, p < 0.05), E/e’ (16.4 ± 6.6 vs 12.5 ± 4.9, p < 0.05), E/(e’ x s’) (3.78 ± 2.52 vs 1.94 ± 1.08, p < 0.001), and serum B-type natriuretic peptide (334.7 ± 420.1 vs 113.8 ± 177.2 pg/ml, p < 0.05). While Cox proportional hazard multivariate analysis detected that E/(e’ x s’) and E/e’ were independent predictors of cardiac events, E/(e’ x s’) was more powerful than E/e’ (p = 0.0002 vs p = 0.0072). ROC analysis revealed that 2.35 of E/(e’ x s’) was the optimal cutoff values to predict cardiac events in ACS patients (AUC 0.79). Patients with E/(e’ x s’) <2.35 had significantly better prognosis than the rest (p < 0.0001, Log-rank; Figure)Conclusion: E/(e’ x s’) could be a useful echo marker to predict cardiac events in ACS patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
It remains to be clarified whether clinical significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function differs depending on the severity of LV systolic dysfunction in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). The aim of this study was to examine the prognostic role of LV diastolic function in AHF patients with various systolic dysfunction.Methods: We studied consecutive hospitalized AHF patients with LV ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%. The exclusion criteria were as follows: atrial fibrillation, severe mitral regurgitation, and inadequate echo image quality. They underwent echocardiography on admission. The eligible patients (n = 289, 165 males, 76 ± 10 years) were divided into 4 groups based on LVEF and left atrial pressure (LAP) grade estimated as in the ESC guidelines: Group I (LVEF 40-49% (mildly reduced LVEF)/normal LAP, n = 28), II (mildly reduced EF/increased LAP, n = 38), III (LVEF <40% (severely reduced LVEF)/normal LAP, n = 110), and IV (severely reduced LVEF/increased LAP, n = 113). Cardiac death was examined up to 60 months.Results: In total, 58 patients (20%) died because of cardiac events during the follow-up (mean 20 ± 19 months). In patients with mildly reduced LVEF, Group I showed significantly less cardiac death ratio than II (n = 1 vs 10, Group I vs II, p = 0.03). On the other hand, in patients with severely reduced LVEF, there was no significant difference in cardiac death ratio between Group III and IV (n = 23 vs 24, Group III vs IV, p = 0.80). That is, LAP grade was a prognostic marker when the patients had mild LV systolic dysfunction, whereas it did not contribute to the prediction of cardiac mortality when patients showed severely reduced LV systolic function. Group I showed significantly better prognosis than those with severe LV systolic dysfunction regardless of LAP grade (Group III, IV) (Group I vs III, p = 0.04; Group I vs IV, p = 0.04).Conclusions: LV diastolic function may have a different clinical significance depending on the severity of LV systolic dysfunction in AHF patients.

Abstract
Abstract
On Behalf
SADS-TW BrS registry
Background
Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inheritable arrhythmic disease responsible for sudden cardiac death. Information on the prevalence and role of SCN10A variants in BrS is limited and equivocal.
Purpose
We aimed to investigate the prevalence and role of SCN10A variants in BrS in Han Chinese.
Methods
From 2000 to 2017, we prospectively and consecutively enrolled 176 unrelated BrS patients from the Han Chinese population in Taiwan (the SADS-TW BrS registry). Thirty-four BrS-related genes were screened by next-generation sequencing, using Taiwan Biobank as the population reference. The pathogenicity was evaluated by literature review and in silico analyses, including the SKAT-O algorithm.
Results
The SKAT-O algorithm showed that rare variants of SCN10A, but not common variants, were significantly different between BrS patients and healthy controls in the additive and dominant models (p-value <0.001), suggesting that rare SCN10A variants may play a role in BrS. Six likely pathogenic SCN10A variants were found in 6 patients and were compared to 25 pathogenic or likely pathogenic SCN5A variants found in 29 patients. The patients with likely pathogenic SCN10A variants tended to exhibit sudden death in older age and have a shorter QRS interval than those carrying pathogenic or likely pathogenic SCN5A variants or no variants in either gene (p = 0.06, 0.07, respectively). Collectively, the prevalence of likely pathogenic SCN10A variants was 3.4% in Han Chinese patients with BrS in Taiwan.
Conclusions
SCN10A likely pathogenic variants were present in 3.4% of Han Chinese BrS patients. Rare SCN10A variants may play a role in BrS, and may have impact on clinical and electrocardiographic manifestations.
