Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cervical lymph node metastasis is an important prognostic factor for oral cancer, occult metastases remain undetected even by diagnostic imaging. We developed a learning model to predict lymph node metastasis in resected specimens of tongue cancer by classifying the level of immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for angiogenesis- and lymphangiogenesis-related proteins using a multilayer perceptron neural network (MNN). METHODS We obtained a dataset of 76 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue who had undergone primary tumor resection. All 76 specimens were IHC stained for the six types shown above (VEGF-C, VEGF-D, NRP1, NRP2, CCR7, and SEMA3E) and 456 slides were prepared. We scored the staining levels visually on all slides. We created virtual slides (4560 images) and the accuracy of the MNN model was verified by comparing it with a hue-saturation (HS) histogram, which quantifies the manually determined visual information. RESULTS The accuracy of the training model with the MNN was 98.6%, and when the training image was converted to grayscale, the accuracy decreased to 52.9%. This indicates that our MNN adequately evaluates the level of staining rather than the morphological features of the IHC images. Multivariate analysis revealed that CCR7 staining level and T classification were independent factors associated with the presence of cervical lymph node metastasis in both HS histograms and MNN. CONCLUSION These results suggest that IHC assessment using MNN may be useful for identifying lymph node metastasis in patients with tongue cancer.

Abstract
Humpback whales in the western North Pacific are considered endangered due to their small population size and lack of information. Although previous studies have reported interchanges between regions within a population, the relationship between the geographic regions of a population in Japan is poorly understood. Using 3,532 fluke photo IDs of unique individuals obtained from four areas in Japan: Hokkaido, six IDs (2009-2019); Ogasawara, 1,477 IDs, from two organizations (1) Everlasting nature of Asia (1987-2020) and (2) Ogasawara Whale Watching Association, (1990-2020); Amami, 373 IDs (1992-1994, 2005-2016); Okinawa, 1,676 IDs (1990-2018), interchanges were analyzed. The ID matchings were conducted using an automated system with an 80.9% matching accuracy. Interchange and within-region return indices were also calculated. As a result, number of matches and interchange indices follow locations, Hokkaido-Okinawa (3, 0.31), Amami-Ogasawara (36, 0.06), Amami-Okinawa (222, 0.37), and Okinawa-Ogasawara (225, 0.08), respectively. Interchange indices among Japanese areas were much higher than the indices between Ogasawara/Okinawa and Hawaii (0.01) and Mexico (0.00) reported in previous studies, indicating that the Japanese regions are utilized by the same population. At the same time, the frequency of interchanges among the three breeding areas vary, and the high within-region return indices in respective breeding areas suggest the site fidelity of the whales in each area at some level. These results indicate the existence of several groups within the population which are possibly be divided into at least two groups based on geographical features: one tend to utilize Ogasawara and the Mariana Archipelago; the other utilize Amami, Okinawa, and the Philippines, migrating along the Ryukyu and Philippine Trench. The matching results also suggest that Hokkaido is possibly be utilized as a corridor between northern feeding areas and southern breeding areas at least by individuals migrating to Okinawa area.

Abstract
Aim
To clarify the association between changes in the number of foundational medications for heart failure (FMHF) during hospitalization for worsening heart failure and post-discharge prognosis.
Methods and results
We retrospectively analyzed a combined dataset of three large-scale registries of hospitalized patients with heart failure in Japan (NARA-HF, WET-HF, and REALITY-AHF) and included patients already diagnosed with heart failure with reduced or mildly reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFr/mrEF) before admission. Patients were stratified by changes in the number of prescribed FMHF classes, namely angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, beta blockers, and mineralocorticoid receptor blockers, from admission to discharge. The primary endpoint was defined as the combined endpoint of heart failure rehospitalization and all-cause death within 1-year of discharge. The cohort consisted of 1,113 patients, and 482 combined endpoints were observed. In total, 413 (37.1%) patients were on increased FMHF (increased group), 607 (54.5%) remained unchanged (unchanged group), and 93 (8.4%) had a decreased number of FMHF (decreased group) at discharge compared to the time of admission. In multivariable analysis, the increased group was associated with a significantly lower incidence of the primary endpoint compared with the unchanged group (hazard ratio 0.56, 95% confidence interval 0.45–0.60; P<0.001) and decreased group (hazard ratio 0.58, 95% confidence interval 0.40–0.84; P=0.004).
Conclusion
Increasing the number of FMHF cases during heart failure hospitalization is associated with a better prognosis in patients with HFr/mrEF.

Abstract
BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that primarily affects the multiple joints.The elucidation of the pathogenesis of RA has progressed dramatically in recent decades, and among the many cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of RA, interleukin (IL)-6 and TNF-α are known to be the major pro-inflammatory cytokines that are abundant in the bloodstream and synovial tissue. JAK inhibitors (JAKinibs) such as tofacitinib and baricitinib are used in the treatment of RA by inhibiting JAK, which in turn inhibits the signaling of various cytokines including IL-6. However, predictors of the response to JAKinibs are still required.ObjectivesWe aimed to combine soluble TNF receptor (sTNFR) I, sTNFR II, IL-6, soluble IL-6R (sIL-6R) and soluble gp130 (sgp130) levels to identify groups of JAKinibs responses in RA patients.MethodsThis research is a retrospective study. We reviewed medical records of RA patients initiating JAKinibs between July 2013 and July 2021 in our hospital. The Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) was evaluated at baseline and 3, 6 months after JAKinibs administration. Clinical remission was defined when SDAI decreased ≤ 3.3. Of the 125 patients treated with JAKinibs, 89 patients with 6 months follow-up, valid SDAI and serum available were enrolled. Serum samples were tested for IL-6 (Human IL-6 Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems), sIL-6R (Human soluble IL-6R alpha Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems) and sgp130 (Human soluble gp130 Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems), sTNFR I (Human TNF RI/TNFRSF1A Quantikine ELISA Kit DRT100) and sTNFR II (Human sTNF RII/TNFRSF1B Quantikine ELISA Kit DRT200) using specific ELISAs according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The statistical analyses were performed with EZR 1.55, and p values less than 0.05 were considered significant.ResultsThe median age of patients was 62 (IQR: 51 - 72) years and the median of disease duration was 6.0 (2.0 - 16.0) years. Twenty-seven (30.3%) patients were biologics and Jakinibs naive. The baseline SDAI was median 18.9 (12.7 - 27.9). When comparing SDAI-remission group (clinical remission: CR) and non-remission group, there were no significant differences in any of the baseline clinical parameters. There was no significant difference in the serum levels of IL-6, sIL-6R and sgp130 between the CR and non-CR groups, but the serum levels of sTNFR I and sTNFR II in the CR group were significantly lower than non-CR group. Univariate logistic regression analysis suggested Biologics and JAKinibs naive (odds ratio (OR) 3.58, p = 0.015), baseline Log sTNFR II levels (OR 0.013, P=0.034) as predictors of SDAI remission treated with JAKinibs at 6 months. Although not significant, Stage IV (OR 0.211, P=0.082) and baseline Log sTNFR I serum levels (OR 0.013, P=0.065) were associated with clinical remission.ConclusionRA patients could be easily stratified prior to JAKinibs intervention with serum sTNFR II and sTNFR I levels, not but IL-6 axis cytokines (IL-6, sIL-6R and sgp130).Univariate logistic regression analysis for clinical remission in patients treated with JAKinibs.

Abstract
BackgroundIL-6 contributes significantly to the chronic inflammatory process of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is elevated in serum and synovial fluid of RA patients.Sarilumab (SRL), a human anti-human IL-6 receptor alpha monoclonal antibody that blocks the signaling originated by the IL-6/IL-6R complex like tocilizumab (TCZ),is an effective treatment. Recently, an association between the therapeutic effect of TCZ and neutropenia after TCZ initiation was reported[1]. Neutropenia is a common adverse event of SRL in patients with RA, but the relationship between reduced neutrophil count and clinical response to SRL is still inconclusive. In EULAR 2020, we reported the association between serum soluble gp130 levels before SRL treatment and the efficacy of SRL[2]. It is also unclear whether there is a relationship between IL-6 axis cytokines and SRL-induced neutropenia.ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine whether neutropenia at 1 month by SRL predicts clinical remission within 3 months and whether there is an association between IL-6 axis cytokines levels and SRL-induced neutropenia.MethodsThis research is a retrospective study. We reviewed medical records of RA patients initiating SRL between February 2018 and August 2021 in our hospital. The Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) was evaluated at baseline (before initiating SRL) and 3 months after administration. Clinical remission was defined when CDAI decreased ≤ 2.8. Of the 66 patients treated with SRL, 42 patients with 3 months follow-up, valid CDAI and serum available were enrolled. The ratio of neutrophil counts 1 month after initiating SRL to those at baseline (neutrophil ratio) was also calculated. Serum samples were tested for IL-6 (Human IL-6 Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems), sIL-6R (Human soluble IL-6R alpha Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems) and sgp130 (Human soluble gp130 Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems) using specific ELISAs according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The statistical analyses were performed with EZR 1.55, and p values less than 0.05 were considered significant.ResultsThe median age of patients was 69.0 (IQR: 59.3 - 73.8) years and the median of disease duration was 9.0 (3.0 - 16.0) years. Eighteen (42.9%) patients were biologics and Jakinibs naive. The baseline CDAI was median 16.7 (11.5 - 25.8). When comparing CDAI-remission group (clinical remission: CR) and non-CR group, Patients in the CR group had significantly shorter disease duration, were more Biologic and JAKinib naive, and had greater neutropenia 1 month after starting SRL (0.71 vs 0.94, P=0.0252). There was no significant difference in the baseline serum levels of IL-6, sIL-6R between the CR and non-CR groups, but baseline serum sgp130 levels in the CR group tended to be higher than in the non-CR group (264.9 vs 234.2 ng/mL, P=0.0592). Univariate logistic regression analysis suggested Biologics and JAKinibs naive (odds ratio (OR) 6.68, p = 0.0317), baseline serum sgp130 levels (OR 8.608, P=0.0312) as predictors of CDAI remission treated with SRL at 3 months. Although not significant, neutrophil ratio ≤ 0.8 was associated with achieving remission (OR 6.67, P=0.0537). Univariate logistic regression for neutrophil ratio ≤ 0.8 did not show any relevant factors, including higher baseline serum sgp130 levels (OR 1.25, P=0.782).ConclusionA 20% or greater decrease in neutrophil count after 1 month of SRL treatment and a high baseline serum sgp130 level independently predict clinical remission within 3 months.References[1]Nakajima T, Watanabe R, Hashimoto M, Murata K, Murakami K, Tanaka M, et al.

Abstract
Aims and Background This study evaluated the effect of C-factor on the bond strength of a resin composite to floor and wall dentin using various adhesive systems. Materials and Methods Four dentin substrates (flat wall, flat floor, cavity wall, or cavity floor) were prepared on human molars. Each specimen was restored with one of three adhesives; Clearfil SE Bond, Single Bond, or Clearfil tri-S Bond followed by buildup or filling using Z100 resin composite. The specimen was cut perpendicular to the bonded surface parallel to the floor or wall to obtain beams after light curing at 24,000 mJ/cm2. The microtensile bond strength to wall specimens or the cavity floor was determined. Data were analyzed. Results All adhesive systems exhibited the highest bond strength to flat wall group (p < 0.05). The bond strength to the cavity group was significantly lower than that to the respective flat group regardless of the bonding system (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in bond strength with Clearfil SE Bond and Clearfil tri-S Bond between the cavity wall and cavity floor (p > 0.05). Conclusion The findings suggested that the strength of bonding to the cavity floor and cavity wall was affected by C-factor regardless of the adhesive system. Bonding to flat wall was higher than flat floor regardless of the adhesive system. Self-etching system provided uniform bond to the cavity wall and cavity floor dentin. However, total etching system reduced bond to the cavity floor than to the cavity wall.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The standard diagnosis of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is based on the following: 1) symptoms of HF, 2) preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF, >50%), and 3) presence of LV diastolic dysfunction confirmed by echocardiography or cardiac catheterisation. However, there are limits to the diagnostic accuracy of individual parameters, and what cut-off values should be applied and how they should be combined remain unclear. Diagnostic algorithms for HFpEF such as the HFA-PEFF algorithm and the H2FPEF score have been proposed; however, previous validation studies were conducted in stable chronic HF and did not include an invasive haemodynamic assessment. Thus, the diagnostic accuracy for HFpEF lacked robustness. Moreover, information on their applicability in the Asian population is limited.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate these scores' diagnostic validity for HFpEF in Japanese patients recently hospitalised due to acute decompensated HF.
Methods
We examined patients with HFpEF recently hospitalised with acute decompensated HF whose HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores could be calculated at discharge from a nationwide HFpEF-specific multicentre registry (HFpEF group) and control patients who underwent echocardiography to investigate the cause of dyspnoea in our hospital (Non-HFpEF group). We calculated the HFA-PEFF and the H2FPEF scores among the studied population. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) were computed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of these scores.
Results
The studied population included 372 consecutive patients (194 HFpEF group and 178 Non-HFpEF group; HFpEF prevalence, 52%). The HFA-PEFF score classified 155 (42%) of all patients into the high likelihood category (5–6 points) and only 19 (5%) into the low likelihood category (0–1 point). A high HFA-PEFF score could diagnose HFpEF with a high specificity of 84% and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 82%, and a low HFA-PEFF score could rule out HFpEF with a high sensitivity of 99% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 89%. The H2FPEF score classified 86 (23%) of all patients into the high likelihood category (6–9 points) and 84 (23%) into the low likelihood category (0–1 point). HFpEF could be diagnosed with a high H2FPEF score (specificity, 97%; PPV, 94%) or ruled out with a low H2FPEF score (sensitivity, 97%; NPV, 93%). The diagnostic accuracy for the HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores was 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78–0.86) and 0.89 (95% CI 0.86–0.93), respectively, by the AUC of the ROC curve (P=0.004) (Figure 1A). In the HFA-PEFF sub-scores, the functional score showed little diagnostic value, while the morphological and biomarker scores showed moderate diagnostic value (Figure 1B).
Conclusions
The H2FPEF score may be more useful than the HFA-PEFF score in diagnosing HFpEF in Japanese patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Lower heart rate (HR) is associated with more favourable long-term outcome in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, an optimal threshold of HR remains unclear. Targeted HR (THR), defined by echocardiographic deceleration time (DCT) to eliminated overlap of E and A waves, may aid in risk stratification of HFrEF patients.
Purpose
In this study, we aimed to clarify the impact of on long-term clinical outcome in patients with HFrEF.
Methods
In the multicenter WET-HF registry, 4000 consecutive patients hospitalized for acute decompensated HF (ADHF) were registered between 2006 and 2017. Among them, the patients with EF ≥40% or a history of atrial fibrillation were excluded. THR was calculated based on their DCT value measured in compensated HF phase during the index admission. The following formula was applied; THR (bpm)=93 - 0.13 × deceleration time (DCT, msec). A total of 876 patients with HFrEF were included in the present analysis (age: 72 [60–81], male: 69%) and the patients were divided into the 2 groups of HR at discharge ≤ THR (L group) and > THR (H group). The primary endpoint (PE) was defined as the composite of all-cause death and ADHF re-admission.
Results
Compared to the H group, the L group showed higher prevalence of males (74% vs. 66%, P=0.025) with higher body mass index (BMI, 23.2 vs. 22.2, P=0.016), hemoglobin (Hb, 12.9 vs. 12.4, P=0.031), albumin (Alb, 3.7 vs. 3.6, P=0.039) and larger left atrial diameter (LAD, 44 mm vs. 41 mm, P=0.002) and tricuspid regurgitation pressure gradient (TRPG, 29 mmHg vs. 27 mmHg, P=0.012). Age, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), LVEF (29% vs. 30%, P=NS) and E/e' (17.7 vs. 16.8, P=NS) were similar for both groups. At discharge, HR was lower in L group (66 [60–71] bpm vs. 80 [74–86] bpm, P<0.001), albeit there were no significant differences in b-blocker prescription (90% vs. 85%, P=0.069) or its dose (3.75 [1.25–7.25] mg vs. 2.5 [1.25–5] mg, P=0.11).
In the survival analysis, the L group showed a significantly lower rate of PE (P=0.03), whereas there was no significant difference in the incidence of PE between the patients with HR at discharge ≥70 bpm and <70 bpm (P=NS).
Multivariate Cox hazard analysis showed that HR at discharge ≤ THR was an independent predictor of PE (hazard ratio 0.67 [0.46–0.97], P=0.037), even after adjusting for confounding factors including age, sex, BMI, Hb, Alb, and b-blocker prescription, whereas HR at discharge <70 bpm was not (hazard ratio 0.94 [0.65–1.33], P=0.71).
Conclusion
THR was associated with long-term outcomes in patients with HFrEF after acute decompensation, suggesting that it may aid in tailored treatment for HR reduction in these patients.

Abstract
Background:Mac-2 binding protein is a cell-adhesive glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix secreted as a ligand of galectin-3 (Mac-2). Recently, a Wisteria floribunda agglutinin positive-M2BP (M2BP) assay developed using a lectin-antibody sandwich immunoassay has shown promise as a new fibrotic marker in liver fibrosis and interstitial lung disease (ILD) to detect unique fibrosis-related glycoalteration.Objectives:The aim of this study is to evaluate the utility of serum Mac-2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi) levels in patients with rheumatic diseases (RD).Methods:We retrospectively measured serum M2BPGi levels in 68 patients with RD and 16 healthy controls (HC). There were no patients of cirrhosis and active hepatitis. Serum levels of M2BPGi were measured using HISCL M2BP glycosylation isomer Assay Kit. We examined the relationship between serum M2BPGi levels and clinical parameters in patients with RD.Results:In patients with RD, the median age was 62.0 years and 79.4% of them were female.Serum M2BPGi levels were significantly higher in patients with RD than in HC (median 0.98 cutoff index [COI], 0.32 COI, respectively; P < 0.00001). Patients with SLE tended to have higher serum M2BPGi levels than other rheumatic diseases.In patients with RD, a significant correlation was not found between serum M2BP levels and inflammation markers such as CRP or ferritin. However, serum M2BPGi levels were significantly correlated with B cell activation markers such as immunoglobulin free light chain and IgG (r = 0.588, 0.504) and T cell activation marker such as sIL-2R (r = 0.408).Conclusion:Most of the rheumatic diseases in this study were considered to be type I interferonopathy diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren’s syndrome, inflammatory myositis, scleroderma and SLE.Serum M2BPGi was reported to have a significant correlation with SLE disease activity [SS Ahn et al. Lupus. 2018; 27: 771], and also to have a significant correlation with Gakectin-9, a novel biomarker for IFN signiture [Lucas L van den Hoogen et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 2018; 77: 1810].So, it was suggested that serum M2BPGi may be a novel biomarker that indirectly indicates how much IFN is activated in rheumatic diseases.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Abstract
Two European phase III trials comparing D1 and D2 demonstrated that D2 did not improve the overall survival and was associated with a high mortality related to splenectomy. However, a long-term follow-up study showed that the gastric cancer-related death rate was significantly higher in D1 than D2. Based on these findings, the standard surgery in Europe became D2 without pancreatico-splenectomy to prevent mortality. In contrast, the JCOG9501 phase III comparing D2 and D2 plus para-aortic nodal dissection did not showed a survival efficacy of extended lymphadenectomy, but the mortality rate was quite low in both surgeries. Subsequently, the JCOG0110 phase III study comparing D2 and spleen-preserving D2 for upper gastric cancer not invading the greater curvature clearly showed the non-inferiority of spleen preservation. Thus, spleen-preserving D2 was made the standard surgery for these tumors in Japan. However, splenectomy is often selected for complete dissection of the splenic-hilar nodes, a frequent metastatic site for upper gastric tumors invading the greater curvature. Recently, an approach involving splenic hilar nodal dissection without splenectomy has been developed.

Abstract
Although increasing evidence demonstrates the association between intestinal dysbiosis and pancreatic diseases such as chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer, it remains largely unknown whether intestinal dysbiosis is involved in the immunopathogenesis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). Recently, we found that intestinal dysbiosis mediates experimental AIP via the activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), which can produce interferon (IFN)-α and interleukin (IL)-33. However, candidate intestinal bacteria, which promote the development of AIP, have not been identified. Fecal samples were obtained from type 1 AIP patients before and after prednisolone (PSL) treatment and subjected to 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing to evaluate the composition of intestinal bacteria. Induction of remission by PSL was associated with the complete disappearance of Klebsiella species from feces in two of the three analyzed patients with type 1 AIP. To assess the pathogenicity of Klebsiella species, mild experimental AIP was induced in MRL/MpJ mice by repeated injections of 10 μg of polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid [poly(I:C)], in combination with oral administration of heat-killed Klebsiella pneumoniae. The AIP pathology score was significantly higher in MRL/MpJ mice that received both oral administration of heat-killed K. pneumoniae and intraperitoneal injections of poly(I:C) than in those administered either agent alone. Pancreatic accumulation of pDCs capable of producing large amounts of IFN-α and IL-33 was also significantly higher in mice that received both treatments. These data suggest that intestinal colonization by K. pneumoniae may play an intensifying role in the development of type 1 AIP.

Abstract
To evaluate the seasonal water circulation of Tonle Sap Lake and its tributary rivers in Cambodia, the spatial distribution patterns of major and trace elements in surface water were investigated. Based on the similarity of the dissolved elemental concentrations, the water samples were mainly divided into the three groups: samples with relatively high percentages of Ca, Mo, and Sb (Subcluster B1); samples with high Si, Al, and Fe (B2); and samples with high Na, K, and Mg (B3). During the rainy season, the elemental composition of lake water (B1) appeared to be greatly influenced by the intrusion of water from the Mekong River (B1) through the Tonle Sap River (B1). During the dry season, the type of lake water shifted to B3, suggesting that the lake water stored during the rainy season was replaced by inflow from other tributaries and groundwater in its vicinity. Thus, the seasonal changes in the elemental composition of the lake water were largely controlled by surface water and groundwater circulation. The dissolved As concentration was higher in the lake water and during the dry season than that in the river water and during the rainy season, indicating the discharge of As from the lake's bottom sediment during the dry season. Although the redox cycling of Fe and Mn appeared to be less important due to the shallow water depth in the lake, there are potential risks of As poisoning induced by the formation of an anoxic water mass and increment in the concentration of phosphorus if eutrophication continues to progress.

Abstract
Background:IL-6 contributes significantly to the chronic inflammatory process of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Sarilumab (SRL), a human anti-human IL-6 receptor alpha monoclonal antibody that blocks the signaling originated by the IL-6/IL-6R complex like tocilizumab,is an effective treatment. However, predictors of the response to sarilumab are still required.Objectives:We aimed to combine IL-6, soluble IL-6R (sIL-6R) and gp130 (sgp130) levels to identify groups of sarilumab responses.Methods:This research is a retrospective study. a total of 32 RA patients with SRL therapy in our department from February 1 in 2018 to December 31 in 2019 were included. Serum and clinical data from 32 RA patients were collected before treatment and until the last visit. Follow-up period was up to one year after starting SRL treatment. Serum were tested for IL-6 (Human IL-6 Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems), sIL-6R (Human soluble IL-6R alpha Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems) and sgp130 (Human soluble gp130 Quantikine ELISA Kit, R&D systems), using specific ELISAs according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Hierarchical cluster analysis (JMP14.3.0) was used to establish the relationship between IL-6, sIL-6R and sgp130. We evaluated the efficacy of SRL treatment on the last visit using European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response criteria in the groups of patients. The other statistical analyses were performed with EZR 1.41, and p Values less than 0.05 were considered significant.Results:The median age of patients was 70.5 (IQR: 66.5-74.3) years and the median of disease duration was 7.3 (1.7-15.3) years. Nine (28.1%) patients were biologics and Jakinibs naive. the median follow-up periods were 24 (12-26) weeks. The baseline DAS28 was median 4.39 (3.77 - 5.43), and CDAI was 21.1 (11.7-29.5). When comparing responders and non-responders, there were no significant differences in any of the baseline parameters and cytokines. Four statistical significant clusters of RA patients (i.e., Group1, Group2, Group3 and tocilizumab use group before SRL) were defined by serum concentrations of IL-6, sIL-6R and spg130 at baseline. The levels of IL-6 expressed as median in Group1 patients were 25.6 (14.4–72.2) pg/ml, in Group2 5.9 (3.3–11.3) pg/ml, and in Group3 70.2 (45.4–86.1) pg/ml (p < 0.002, significant difference only between Group2 and Group3). The levels of sIL-6R expressed as median in Group1 patients were 38.7 (34.7-45.1) ng/ml, in Group2 35.1 (24.8-41.9) ng/ml, and in Group3 35.7 (34.2-39.8) ng/ml (p = 0.5477). The levels of sgp130 expressed as median in Group1 patients were 272.6 (263.0-277.2) ng/ml, in Group2 223.1 (221.0-228.0) ng/ml, and in Group3 204.6 (192.0-207.6) ng/ml (p < 0.00003, significant difference between the three groups respectively). There were no significant differences in any of the baseline clinical features and laboratory findings between the three groups. Out of the 8 patients in Group1 had a good or moderate response to SRL. Conversely, the percentage of patients with no response to SRL was higher in Group3 than in Group1 and Group2.Conclusion:RA patients could be easily stratified prior to the rapeutic intervention with sgp130 related to the IL-6 signal reguration. Group1 patients, who had the best response to SRL, had the highest level of sgp130.Table 1.Comparison of baseline serum IL-6, sIL-6R and sgp130 of each groups of patientsTCZ use before SRLGroup 1Group 2Group 3P valuen=3N=9N=8N=9IL-6,pg/mL69.8,77.6,592.6Median[IQR]25.6[14.4-72.2]5.9[3.3-11.3]70.2[45.4-86.1]<0.002csIL-6R,ng/mL390.5,413.2,481.7Median[IQR]38.7[34.7-45.1]35.1[24.8-41.9]35.7[34.2-39.8]0.547sgp130,ng/mL205.6,219.2,239.8Median[IQR]273[263-277]223[221-228]205[192-208]<0.001abc*a, b and c mean that statically significant difference between subgroups as a: group1 vs. 2, b: group 1 vs. 3, c: group 2 vs. 3.Disclosure of Interests:Takahiro Yoshikawa: None declared, Tetsuya Furukawa: None declared, Masao Tamura: None declared, Teppei Hashimoto: None declared, Mai Morimoto: None declared, Naoto Azuma: None declared, Kiyoshi Matsui Grant/research support from: Asahi Kasei Pharma, Astellas Pharma (research grants), Speakers bureau: Bristol-Myers Squibb (lecture fees)

Abstract
The chiral crystal is characterized by a lack of mirror symmetry and inversion center, resulting in the inequivalent right- and left-handed structures. In the noncentrosymmetric crystal structure, the spin and momentum of electrons are expected to be locked in the reciprocal space with the help of the spin-orbit interaction. To reveal the spin textures of chiral crystals, we investigate the spin and electronic structure in a p-type semiconductor, elemental tellurium, with the simplest chiral structure by using spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our data demonstrate that the highest valence band crossing the Fermi level has a spin component parallel to the electron momentum around the Brillouin zone corners. Significantly, we have also confirmed that the spin polarization is reversed in the crystal with the opposite chirality. The results indicate that the spin textures of the right- and left-handed chiral crystals are hedgehoglike, leading to unconventional magnetoelectric effects and nonreciprocal phenomena.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The literature on the prognostic relevance of signet-ring cell (SRC) histology in gastric cancer (GC) is controversial which is most likely related to inconsistent SRC classification based on haematoxylin-eosin staining. We hypothesised that mucin stains can consistently identify SRC-GC and predict GC patient outcome. METHODS We performed a comprehensive literature review on mucin stains in SRC-GC and characterised the mucin expression in 851 Caucasian GC and 410 Asian GC using Alcian Blue (AB)-Periodic Acid-Schiff (PAS), MUC2 (intestinal-type mucin), and MUC5AC (gastric-type mucin). The relationship between mucin expression and histological phenotype [poorly cohesive (PC) including proportion of SRCs, non-poorly cohesive (non-PC), or mucinous (MC)], clinicopathological variables, and patient outcome was analysed. RESULTS Depending on mucin expression and cut-offs, the positivity rates of SRC-GC reported in the literature varied from 6 to 100%. Patients with MUC2 positive SRC-GC or SRC-GC with (gastro)intestinal phenotype had poorest outcome. In our cohort study, PC with ≥ 10% SRCs expressed more frequently MUC2, MUC5AC, and ABPAS (p < 0.001, p = 0.004 and p < 0.001, respectively). Caucasians with AB positive GC or combined ABPAS-MUC2 positive and MUC5AC negative had poorest outcome (all p = 0.002). This association was not seen in Asian patients. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to suggest that mucin stains do not help to differentiate between SRC-GC and non-SRC-GC. However, mucin stains appear to be able to identify GC patients with different outcome. To our surprise, the relationship between outcome and mucin expression seems to differ between Caucasian and Asian GC patients which warrants further investigations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There are little effective treatment strategies for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) to achieve a reduction of morbidity and mortality. Thus, accurate prognostication of patients with HFpEF could help improve their outcomes by identifying high-risk patients who might potentially benefit from intensive inpatient and outpatient monitoring and early referral for advanced HFpEF therapy. The left ventricular outflow tract velocity time integral (LVOT-VTI) is a representative non-invasive parameter for evaluating stroke volume, which can be a determinant of adverse outcomes in hospitalized patients with heart failure. However, the prognostic implication of admission LVOT-VTI for hospitalized HFpEF patients is undetermined.
Purpose
The aim of the present study was to investigate whether admission LVOT-VTI could predict poor clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients with HFpEF.
Methods
We examined consecutive 535 hospitalized HFpEF patients (left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%) due to acute decompensated heart failure from the JASPER (JApanese heart failure Syndrome with Preserved Ejection fRaction) multicenter registry, obtained between November 2012 and March 2015. Patients without accessible LVOT-VTI data on admission were excluded. Finally, 214 patients were examined. The primary outcome of interest was composite of all-cause death and rehospitalization due to heart failure.
Results
Mean age was 78±11 years, 100 were male, and median plasma brain-type natriuretic peptide level was 400 (interquartile range [IQR] 223–711) pg/ml. During a median follow-up period of 688 (IQR 162–810) days, adverse events occurred in 83 patients (39%), including 47 (22%) all-cause death, 51 (24%) rehospitalization due to heart failure. The c-index of LVOT-VTI for predicting the composite of adverse events was 0.59 (95% CI 0.51 to 0.67), and the optimal cut-off value of LVOT-VTI was 15.8 cm. Low LVOT-VTI (≤15.8 cm) was significantly associated with higher adverse events compared to high LVOT-VTI (>15.8 cm) (Figure). Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that lower LVOT-VTI was an independent determinant of adverse events (HR 0.94, 95% CI 0.91 to 0.98, P=0.005) even after adjustment for pre-specified confounders including age, sex, systolic blood pressure, serum sodium, albumin, plasma brain-type natriuretic peptide and renal function.
Figure 1
Conclusions
Lower admission LVOT-VTI was an independent determinant of worse clinical outcomes in hospitalized HFpEF patients, indicating that LVOT-VTI on admission could be a useful marker for risk stratification in these patients.

Abstract
Background Mental disorders and suicide resulting from overwork or work-related stress have become major occupational health issues worldwide, particularly in Asian countries. However, no studies have reported incidence rates of mental disorders and suicide by sex, age group and industry, using a national database containing all cases involving compensation in Asian countries. Aims The present study examined incidence rates of occupational mental disorders and suicide by sex, age group and industry using a database containing all cases involving compensation for mental disorders and suicide in Japan over a 5-year period. Methods Cases involving compensation for mental disorders and suicide in Japan between January 2010 and March 2015 were analysed. Incidence rates over the 5-year study period were calculated by sex, age group and industry. Results In total, 1990 cases involving compensation for mental disorders and suicide (619 women and 1371 men) between January 2010 and March 2015 were analysed. The incidence rate involving compensation was higher in employees aged between 30 and 39 years. In men, incidence rates were higher in 'accommodation/eating/drinking services', 'information/communication' and 'scientific research, professional and technical services'. In these industries, incidence rates were particularly high for those aged 29 years or younger. Conclusions Our findings highlight the importance of promoting mental health support for younger employees and increasing awareness of their working conditions. Differences in incidence rates by sex, age and industry should be taken into consideration in the development of a national policy and industry- and age-specific preventive measures for overwork-related mental disorders and suicide.

Abstract
This paper presents calibration devices and methods for the measurement of electric thruster performance parameters using a seesaw-type thrust stand to measure the mass loss of solid propellant in a vacuum. In previous studies, impact hammers and electrostatic combs have been manufactured for the calibration of the thrust and impulse using seesaw-type thrust stands. However, these conventional devices rely on self-calibration, which means that the input delivered by the device in unknown, and must undergo a calibration process themselves. In this paper, the manufactured calibration devices successfully reproduced known impulses, thrusts, and mass losses in a vacuum. By reproducing known inputs based on known masses, the proposed calibration devices can omit the conventionally required self-calibration process. The calibration results showed linear relations between outputs and known inputs and agreed with the theoretical values to within an error of 10%. Additionally, the uncertainties of all known inputs were less than 1.5%. On the basis of these results, the average thrust, impulse, and mass loss were measured using a calibrated thrust stand for the first time. The cumulative impulses obtained from the measured impulse and average thrust agreed with each other to within an error of 5%. The error of the measured mass loss per 1000 shots with respect to the actual mass loss measured using an electronic balance ranged from 1% to 17%.

Abstract
SummaryThe effects of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase on endotoxin-induced experimental disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) were studied in rats. Experimental DIC was induced by a 4 hr sustained infusion of endotoxin at a dose of 100 mg/kg. The rats were subcutaneously injected with SOD at 0.5, 5.0 or 50.0 mg/kg, or catalase at 0.01, 0.1 or 1.0 mg/kg, followed by the continuously infusion of 100 mg/kg/4hr of endotoxin. A preventive effect against DIC was noted in all the parameters, such as fibrinogen and fibrin degradation products, fibrinogen level, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time, platelet count and the number of renal glomeruli with fibrin thrombi, in the rats treated with 50.0 mg/kg of SOD or 1.0 mg/kg of catalase. When 50.0 mg/kg of SOD or 1.0 mg/kg of catalse was injected subcutaneously at 1, 2 or 3 hr after the initiation of the endotoxin-infusion, the protective effect against DIC was noted in all the parameters.

Abstract
SummaryThe experimental model of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in rats induced by a 4 hr sustained infusion of 100 mg/kg endotoxin was used to study the relationship between lipid peroxidation and DIC. Serum thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reactive substances, important and damaging products of lipid peroxidation, increased gradually during the infusion of endotoxin. The levels of TBA reactants in serum, abdominal aortic wall and ileum mucosa were significantly increased in rats infused with 100 mg/kg of endotoxin for 4 hr, as compared with the control rats continuously given 11.4 ml of physiological saline for 4 hr. However, the levels in liver and kidney tissues, and in gastric, jejunum and colon mucosa did not increase significantly.
