Abstract
BACKGROUND Water is one of the most essential nutrients for life. The water turnover (WT), total body water (TBW), and total energy expenditure (TEE) can be measured using the doubly labeled water (DLW) method. WT and TBW are lower in older adults than in young adults, and the former are susceptible to dehydration, necessitating to identify predictors of the WT in older adults. OBJECTIVE The current study aimed to examine the association between WT and physical activity, physical function, and body composition in Japanese adults aged 65 years and above and identify predictors for WT in this population. METHODS This study enrolled 133 older adults (women, n = 61; men, n = 72) aged 65-88 years. WT, TBW, TEE, fat-free mass (FFM), and percent body fat (%Fat) were determined using the DLW method. The fitness age score (FAS) was obtained from five physical fitness tests. Physical activity and the step count were assessed using a previously validated triaxial accelerometer. Multiple regression analyses were performed with WT as the dependent variable. RESULTS WT was positively associated with weight, physical activity level (PAL), moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and TEE, and negatively associated with sedentary behavior. We examined potential predictors for WT using age, sex, height, weight, FFM, %Fat, TEE, PAL, and FAS in older Japanese adults. CONCLUSIONS Our results confirmed that age, sex, weight, FFM, TEE, and PAL are the potential predictors of WT in older Japanese adults aged 65 years and above.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Even in cancer of unknown primary (CUP), which is rare clinical condition, solitary anterosuperior lymph node (LN) along the common hepatic artery (No.8a LN) enlargement diagnosed as metastatic adenocarcinoma has never been reported. CASE PRESENTATION A 68-year-old Japanese male, with a history of early gastric cancer that had been completely treated by endoscopic submucosal dissection 26 years ago, was detected a single enlarged nodule along the common hepatic artery, No.8a LN, incidentally by computed tomography performed for monitoring of interstitial pneumonia. Endoscopic ultra-sound-guided fine needle aspiration revealed that this nodule was adenocarcinoma suggestive of metastasis, but other imaging studies, including upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy, positron emission tomography, and ultrasonography did not detect any primary cancer. We have finally diagnosed as the LN metastasis of CUP and performed laparoscopic lymphadenectomy for this tumor. The tumor was approximately 5 cm in size, was in close proximity to the pancreas, and involved part of the right gastric artery and vein. LNs in the No.5 and No.8a areas, including this tumor, were dissected laparoscopically, and radical resection was achieved. The patient had no postoperative complication and was discharged on postoperative day 10. Immunohistopathological findings revealed that the tumor was poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, and different from the histology of gastric cancer resected 26 years ago, although the tumor was suggestive of gastrointestinal origin. Imaging studies performed 2 and 6 months after discharge also did not reveal a primary site. CONCLUSION We reported a case of solitary No.8a LN adenocarcinoma of CUP. For diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, radical resection is recommended for single enlarged intra-abdominal LN of CUP.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the effect of an unsupervised, body mass- home-based resistance training program in older adults performed at either a fast or slow contractile speed on changes to muscle-power, -volume, -architecture, and fatigue resistance of the knee extensors. METHODS Thirty-two male older adults (age 65-88 years) were separated into 1) fast-speed exercise (Fast-group), 2) slow-speed exercise (Slow-group), and 3) no exercise (Control-group) groups. Participants in the exercise groups performed 30-45 repetitions of knee-extension and sit-to-stand exercises 3 times a week for 8 weeks with different exercise speed between the groups. Before and after the intervention period, the following variables were measured: Isotonic power, isometric strength, twitch contractile properties, muscle-activity, -architecture, and -quality, neuromuscular fatigue resistance of the knee extensors, and thigh muscle volume. RESULTS Peak power was increased in both the Fast-group (+24 %, P < 0.01, d = 0.65) and Slow-group (+12 %, P < 0.05, d = 0.33) but not in the Control-group. Training increased pennation angle of the vastus lateralis in both the Fast-group (+8 %, P < 0.01, d = 0.42) and Slow-group (+8 %, P < 0.01, d = 0.42), while only the Fast-group showed increase in pennation angle of the rectus femoris (+12 %, P < 0.01, d = 0.64) and thigh muscle volume (+16 %, P < 0.01, d = 0.52). There was no time × group interaction effect for the other neuromuscular measures. CONCLUSIONS Unsupervised, body mass- and home-based resistance training performed at either fast or slow speeds can improve muscle power in older adults, while fast-speed exercise may be preferable over slow-speed owing to the relatively greater improvement of muscle-power, -volume, -architecture, and better time efficiency.

Abstract
Photoemission orbital tomography (POT) from photoelectron momentum maps (PMMs) is a powerful technique that visualizes the shape of the molecular orbitals (MOs) of molecular films. For further utilization of POT, a simple and low-cost method of POT is highly required. Here, we propose a new POT method based on the PhaseLift algorithm (PhaseLift POT). This method utilizes a lifting procedure to convert the PMM, which is a second-order polynomial of MO coefficients, into a first-order polynomial of the lifted MO coefficients and further relaxes the equality constraint for a given PMM. We also established a method to improve the accuracy of phase retrieval from the noisy PMM data by using sparsity for MO coefficients (sparse PhaseLift POT). These methods make it possible to reconstruct the three-dimensional MOs, including phases of the wave function, directly from a single experimental PMM. This method can also precisely determine the adsorption-induced molecular deformations with an accuracy of 0.05 [Å]. Furthermore, the robust sparse PhaseLift POT is robust against unavoidable noise in the experimental PMMs due to the relaxation of the matching condition for a given PMM. Therefore, this will be an innovative tool for POT, especially for analyzing the dynamics of the molecules during the chemical reaction and excitation processes.

Abstract
Dermatomyositis (DM) is an autoimmune disease that causes proximal muscle weakness in the extremities leading to severe immobility and dysphagia. Approximately 20% of patients with DM are positive for anti-TIF-1γ antibody and frequently accompanied by malignant tumors. Although DM remission after tumor resection has been reported, the indications for surgery in patients with severe DM are unknown. Herein, we report a case of a 79-year-old Japanese woman who presented with breast cancer and anti-TIF-1γ antibody-positive DM. She became bedridden shortly after DM onset. Although pulsed steroid therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin, tacrolimus, and endocrine therapy with fulvestrant did not improve her symptoms, tumor resection with axillary lymph node dissection resulted in complete remission of the DM after 8 months. Immunohistochemistry revealed high expression of TIF-1γ in cancer cells, both in the primary tumor and axillary lymph nodes. Since the serum levels of anti-TIF-1γ antibody decreased after the surgery, the existence of breast cancer with TIF-1γ expression may have contributed to the worsening of DM. The present case suggests that curative surgery should be considered as a treatment option even if the patient has severe symptoms, such as immobility and dysphagia. Careful discussions with patients and multidisciplinary collaboration are essential to make surgery feasible, particularly for those with severe symptomatic DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The breathing intolerance index (BITI) is used to evaluate respiratory muscle tolerance. The higher the ratio of the inspiratory time to the total breathing time and the ratio of the tidal volume to the vital capacity, the more easily the respiratory muscles become fatigued. The BITI is high with chronic respiratory failure, and values of 0.15 or more indicate the need for assisted ventilation. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the changes in the BITI of very low birth weight infants (VLBWIs) and determine whether it is possible to use the BITI as an objective indicator of the timing of noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) withdrawal. METHODS VLBWIs admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit between July 2020 and July 2022 under NRS at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age (PMA). If the BITI was less than 0.15, then we attempted to determine whether NRS could be withdrawn. RESULTS Sixteen infants with a median gestational age and birth weight of 30.9 weeks and 1249 g, respectively, were eligible. The median PMA at the time of the first examination was 36.6 weeks. The BITI of two VLBWIs was less than 0.15. For 11 of the other VLBWIs, the BITI decreased over time to less than 0.15 at 39 weeks' PMA. After confirming that the BITI was less than 0.15, weaning from NRS was attempted. Weaning from NRS was possible except one VLBWI. CONCLUSION The BITI can help evaluate respiratory tolerance and could be an objective indicator of the timing of NRS withdrawal.

Abstract
AIM The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 consensus reported that evidence for the diagnosis of sarcopenia based on ultrasonography findings is lacking. The revised European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People consensus stated that ultrasonography is reliable and valid for assessing muscle size in older adults. The present study aimed to determine the predictive accuracy of ultrasonography for sarcopenia in older adults in Japan. METHODS A total of 1229 participants aged 65-91 years were included in this cross-sectional study. The thickness of the anterior compartment of the right thigh was assessed using B-mode ultrasonography. The measurement position was at the midpoint of the thigh. In addition, the grip strength, gait speed, Five-Time Sit-to-Stand Test, Short Physical Performance Battery score and skeletal muscle mass index were evaluated. Sarcopenia was diagnosed based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 algorithm. We calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (95% confidence intervals) and cutoff values for the thigh muscle thickness in sarcopenia were 0.901 (0.856-0.946) and 4.0 cm in men, respectively, and 0.923 (0.851-0.995) and 3.1 cm in women, respectively. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for each subdomain of sarcopenia, such as grip strength and gait speed, ranged from 0.618 to 0.872. CONCLUSIONS In the present study, the suggested cutoff mid-thigh muscle thicknesses on ultrasonography for predicting sarcopenia were 4.0 cm in men and 3.1 cm in women.

Abstract
CONTEXT Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide health problem. Recent literature has shown an association of hemoglobin glycation index (HGI) and CKD in patients with dysglycemia. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to reveal the impact of HGI as a predictor for incident CKD in the general population. METHODS CKD was defined as dipstick proteinuria or estimated glomerular rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Impact of HGI on incident CKD was assessed using the data from CKD-free health examinees (N = 23 467, 4.1% with diabetes) followed for a mean of 5.1 years: Cox proportional hazards model was employed with multivariate adjustment for age, systolic blood pressure, eGFR, fasting plasma glucose, body mass index, log[alanine aminotransferase], log[triglycerides], high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, platelet counts, smoking, and sex. Elevated level of HGI in subjects with CKD was ascertained after propensity score matching of another group of health examinees (N = 2580, 7.6% with diabetes). RESULTS In the former group, CKD developed in 2540 subjects and HGI was the second most robust predictor for CKD, following low eGFR. With adjustment for the 11 covariates, the hazard ratio of HGI (95% CI) for CKD was 1.293 (1.238 to 1.349) (P < .0001). The population attributable risk of HGI for CKD was 4.2%. In the latter group, among 708 subjects matched 1:1 for 9 covariates, HGI was significantly elevated in subjects with CKD (median [interquartile range] -0.208 [-0.504 to -0.156] vs -0.284 [-0.582 to 0.052], P = .03). CONCLUSION HGI was a novel risk factor for CKD in the general population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Salivary gland tumors are histologically diverse. Ionocytes and tuft cells, rare epithelial cells found in normal salivary glands, might be associated with salivary tumors. Here, we explored the expression of FOXI1 and POU2F3, master regulators of ionocytes and tuft cells, respectively, for common salivary neoplasms using immunohistochemistry. METHODS We analyzed normal salivary tissues and nine salivary gland tumors; Warthin tumors (WT), pleomorphic adenomas (PA), basal cell adenomas, and oncocytomas were benign, whereas mucoepidermoid, adenoid cystic, acinic cell, salivary duct carcinomas, and polymorphous adenocarcinomas were malignant. RESULTS Normal salivary glands contained a few FOXI1- and POU2F3-positive cells in the ducts instead of the acini, consistent with ionocytes and tuft cells, respectively. Among the benign tumors, only WTs and PAs consistently expressed FOXI1 (10/10 and 9/10, respectively). The median H-score of WTs was significantly higher than that of PAs (17.5 vs. 4, P = 0.01). While WTs and PAs harbored POU2F3-positive cells (10/10 and 9/10, respectively), the median H-score was higher in WTs than in PAs (10.5 vs 4, respectively). Furthermore, WTs exhibited a unique staining pattern of FOXI1- and POU2F3-positive cells, which were present in luminal and abluminal locations, respectively. Whereas none of the malignant tumors expressed FOXI1, only adenoid cystic carcinoma consistently expressed POU2F3 (5/5), with a median H-score of 4. CONCLUSION The expression patterns of the characteristic transcription factors found in ionocytes and tuft cells vary among salivary gland tumor types and are higher in WT, which might be relevant for understanding and diagnosing salivary gland neoplasms.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between cognitive function and phase angle (PhA), an indicator of muscle quality. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled outpatients who visited a memory clinic at the Nagoya University hospital from January 2016 to June 2022. We enrolled 153 participants with body composition measurements. Inclusion criteria were a Mini-Mental State Examination score of 20-30 and a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's dementia (AD) or amnesic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). The background characteristics of the participants were compared according to AD and aMCI. Next, linear regression analysis was performed with PhA as the objective variable. In addition, logistic regression analysis was performed for AD diagnosis. RESULTS PhA was lower in the AD group (P = 0.009). In linear regression analysis, PhA consistently decreased with worsening ADAS score. In logistic regression analysis, high PhA was associated with absence of AD. Gender-specific analyses showed these associations existed only in men. CONCLUSIONS Our study of patients with AD and aMCI found that PhA decreased with worsening of cognitive function. Compared with aMCI, AD was associated with significantly lower PhA. Our results strengthen the limited evidence in the literature showing that low muscle quality is associated with poor cognitive function.

Abstract
The appendicular extracellular-to-intracellular water ratio (A-E/I) is a potential marker of skeletal muscle quality, reflecting the balance of water distribution between the extracellular and intracellular compartments of the appendicular limb regions. A-E/I has been increasingly used in recent studies; however, its association with adverse outcomes remains unclear. This study investigated the potential association between A-E/I and all-cause mortality. A prospective cohort study of 8 015 middle-aged and older adults (comprised of 4 755 women, aged 45-74 years) residing in a Japanese community was conducted. The baseline assessment was performed between 2010 and 2012, and the follow-up period lasted until July 2022. A-E/I and skeletal muscle mass were measured using segmental bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy. Handgrip strength (HGS) was measured using a Smedley-type dynamometer. Lifestyle, medical history, and physical activity were assessed by questionnaire and accelerometer. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for each quartile (Q) of A-E/I were estimated using the multivariable Cox regression model. During a 10.5-year median follow-up, the mortality rates were 8.9 and 3.6 per 1 000 person-years for men (292 deaths) and women (174 deaths), respectively. A-E/I quartiles were positively associated with all-cause mortality in both sexes (men: Q1, HR: 1.0 [95% CI: reference], Q4, HR: 1.8 [1.1-2.9], ptrend < .05; women, Q4, HR: 2.2 [1.3-3.8], ptrend < .01). This association remained significant after further adjustment for skeletal muscle mass and HGS (ptrend < .05). Our findings suggest that A-E/I serves as an early predictive marker for mortality in middle-aged and older Japanese adults.

Abstract
Background The potential for developing frailty exists in middle-aged and older adults. While obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) increase the risk of frailty in older adults, this relationship remains unclear in middle-aged adults, who are prone to developing lifestyle-related diseases. Objective To examine the effect of overweight/obesity and MetS on frailty development in middle-aged and older Japanese adults using real-world data. Methods This nationwide cohort study used exhaustive health insurance claims data of 3,958,708 Japanese people from 2015 to 2019 provided by the Japan Health Insurance Association. Participants aged ≥35 and < 70 years who received health checkups in 2015 were included. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the effect of body mass index (BMI) and MetS or MetS components (i.e., diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia) in 2015 on frailty risk assessed using the hospital frailty risk score in 2019. Additionally, a subgroup analysis was performed to examine the interaction effects of MetS components and 4-year weight change (%) on frailty risk among participants who were overweight and obese (BMI ≥25 kg/m2). Results In 2019, 7204 (0.2%) and 253,671 (6.4%) participants were at high and intermediate frailty risks, respectively. Obesity and MetS were independently associated with intermediate/high frailty risk (odds ratio (OR) 1.36, p < 0.05; OR 1.23, p < 0.05, respectively) and high frailty risk (OR 1.80, p < 0.05; OR 1.37, p < 0.05, respectively) in all participants. Although all MetS components were frailty risk factors, these effects diminished with age in both sexes. Subgroup analysis of patients with diabetes revealed that 5%-10% weight loss was associated with reduced frailty risk in both sexes. Conclusions Obesity, MetS, and MetS components were independent frailty risk factors in middle-aged and older Japanese adults. Weight loss of up to 10% over 4 years prevented frailty in patients with diabetes who were overweight and obese.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The differences in the association of body mass index (BMI) with mortality between older adults with and without frailty remain unclear. This study investigated this association in community-dwelling older adults with and without frailty. METHODS This prospective study included 10,912 adults aged ≥65 years who provided valid responses to a baseline mail survey questionnaire in the Kyoto-Kameoka Study in Japan. The BMI was calculated based on self-reported height and body weight and classified into four categories: <18.5, 18.5-21.4, 21.5-24.9, and ≥25.0 kg/m2. Frailty was evaluated using the validated Kihon Checklist and defined as a score of 7 or higher out of a possible 25 points. Mortality data were collected from 30 July 2011 to 30 November 2016. Hazard ratios (HR) for all-cause mortality were calculated using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS During the 5.3 year median follow-up period (54,084 person-years), 1352 deaths were recorded. After adjusting for confounders, including lifestyle and medical history, compared with participants with a BMI of 21.5-24.9 kg/m2, those in the lower BMI category had a higher mortality HR, while those with a higher BMI displayed an inverse association with mortality (<18.5 kg/m2: HR: 1.85, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.58-2.17; 18.5-21.4 kg/m2: HR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.21-1.58; and ≥25.0 kg/m2: HR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.67-0.96). In a model stratified by frailty status, the BMI range with the lowest HR for mortality was 23.0-24.0 kg/m2 in non-frail older adults; however, in frail older adults, a higher BMI was inversely associated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS The relationship between BMI and mortality varies between individuals with and without frailty, with those experiencing frailty potentially benefiting from a higher BMI compared to those without frailty. This study suggests that frailty should be assessed when considering the optimal BMI for the lowest mortality risk among older adults.

Abstract
Vascular access (VA) flow suppression surgery augments VA flow resistance and can increase other circulation flows hindered by high-flow VA. However, whether VA flow suppression surgery affects cervical circulation has rarely been reported. We aimed to determine the effect of VA flow suppression surgery on the cervical circulation in patients with high-flow VA. This single-center, retrospective, observational study included 85 hemodialysis patients who underwent VA flow suppression surgery at the Kanno Dialysis and Access Clinic between 2009 and 2018. Blood flow in the VA, bilateral vertebral arteries, and common carotid artery was measured before and after VA flow suppression surgery. The VA flow decreased from 1548 mL/min to 693 mL/min postoperatively. The flow of the vertebral artery on the VA side increased from 55 mL/min to 81 mL/min. The flow in the bilateral common carotid arteries also increased. Patients whose symptoms improved postoperatively showed better improvement in the vertebral artery on the VA side. VA flow suppression surgery in patients with high-flow VA increases the flow of the vertebral artery on the VA side and of the bilateral common carotid arteries. High-flow VA can hinder the vertebral and common carotid circulation.

Abstract
AIM The gut microbiota has emerged as a new intervention target for sarcopenia. Prior studies in humans have focused on the association between gut microbiota and skeletal muscle quantity, while the evidence on muscle function and quality is lacking. This study aimed to identify gut microbiota genera associated with skeletal muscle function, quantity, and quality in a general population of Japanese adults. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 164 participants aged 35-80 years, women and men recruited from urban areas of Japan. Fecal samples were collected and analyzed using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Skeletal muscle function was measured using handgrip strength and leg extension power (LEP), while skeletal muscle mass was estimated using bioelectrical impedance analysis. Phase angle was used as a measure of skeletal muscle quality. Multivariate linear regression analysis stratified by age group was used to examine the association between the dominant genera of the gut microbiota and skeletal muscle variables. RESULTS A significant association was found between Bacteroides and Prevotella 9 with LEP only in the ≥60 years group. When both Bacteroides and Prevotella 9 were included in the same regression model, only Bacteroides remained consistently and significantly associated with LEP. No significant associations were observed between skeletal muscle mass, handgrip strength, and phase angle and major gut microbiota genera. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we observed a significant positive association between Bacteroides and leg muscle function in older adults. Further studies are required to elucidate the underlying mechanisms linking Bacteroides to lower-extremity muscle function. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; 24: 53-60.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to calculate the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for a modified Gait Efficacy Scale (mGES) over 3 years and to clarify the predictors of mGES decline. METHODS In total, 87 community-dwelling older adults were enrolled in this 3-year longitudinal study. The mGES, fall history and physical function (chair stand frequency, open-eyes one-leg stand, open-close stepping test, walking speed, walking endurance [shuttle stamina walk test] and physical activity) were assessed at baseline. After a 3-year follow-up period, the mGES and Global Rating of Change Scale were assessed. The MCID was calculated using anchor-based methods, with the Global Rating of Change Scale as an anchor. The participants were classified into the decline and keep groups based on whether the changes in the mGES were greater than the MCID. A logistic regression analysis was conducted using the mGES as the dependent variable and physical characteristics, fall history, and physical function as independent variables. RESULTS The MCID for the mGES over 3 years was -7.38 points. A logistic regression analysis identified low open-close stepping (odds ratio, 0.87; 95% confidence interval, 0.782-0.985; P = 0.027) and the shuttle stamina walk test (odds ratio, 0.974; 95% confidence interval, 0.949-1.000; P = 0.049) as predictors of the mGES decline. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that a change of 7.38 points in the mGES was clinically significant and that poor agility and walking endurance can predict future decline in the mGES.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical activity or biomarker-calibrated energy intake (EI) alone is associated with mortality in older adults; the interaction relationship between the combined use of both factors and mortality has not been examined. We evaluated the relationship between mortality and calibrated EI and step counts in older adults. METHODS This prospective study included 4,159 adults aged ≥65 years who participated in the Kyoto-Kameoka study in Japan and wore a triaxial accelerometer between 1 April and 15 November 2013. The calibrated EI was calculated based on a previously developed equation using EI biomarkers. The step count was obtained from the accelerometer ≥ 4 days. Participants were classified into the following four groups: low EI (LEI)/low step counts (LSC) group (EI: <2,400 kcal/day in men and <1,900 kcal/day in women; steps: <5,000 /day), n = 1,352; high EI (HEI)/LSC group (EI: ≥2,400 kcal/day in men and ≥1,900 kcal/day in women; steps: <5,000 /day), n = 1,586; LEI/high step counts (HSC) group (EI: <2,400 kcal/day in men and < 1,900 kcal/day in women; steps: ≥5,000 /day), n = 471; and HEI/HSC group (EI: ≥2,400 kcal/day in men and ≥1,900 kcal/day in women; steps: ≥5,000 /day), n = 750. Mortality-related data were collected until 30 November 2016. We performed a multivariable Cox proportional hazard analysis. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 3.38 years (14,046 person-years), and 111 mortalities were recorded. After adjusting for confounders, the HEI/HSC group had the lowest all-cause mortality rate compared to other groups (LEI/LSC: reference; HEI/LSC: hazard ratio [HR]: 0.71, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.41-1.23; LEI/HSC: HR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.29-1.19; and HEI/HSC: HR: 0.10, 95% CI: 0.01-0.76). No significant interaction was observed between the calibrated EI and steps with mortality. The spline model showed that 35-42 kcal/100 steps/day of EI/100 steps was associated with the lowest mortality risk. CONCLUSIONS HR mortality risk was lowest at 35-42 kcal/100 steps/day, suggesting that very high (≥56 kcal) or low (<28 kcal) EI/100 steps are not inversely associated with mortality. Adherence to optimal EI and adequate physical activity may provide sufficient energy balance to explain the inverse association with mortality among older Japanese adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The histogenesis of thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) has been a subject of debate. Recent technological advancements have revealed that thymic carcinomas often exhibit a phenotype akin to tuft cells, which is a subset of medullary TECs. Here, we further explored the gene expression signatures of thymic carcinomas in relation to tuft cells and their kinships-ionocytes and neuroendocrine cells (neuroendocrine group). METHODS We analyzed a single-cell RNA sequencing dataset from the normal human thymus. Concurrently, we examined publicly available datasets on the mRNA expression and methylation status of TECs and lung cancers. Real-time quantitative PCR was also conducted with our tissue samples. RESULTS Thymic carcinomas displayed a neuroendocrine phenotype biased toward tuft cells and ionocytes. When exploring the possible regulators of this phenotype, we discovered that HDAC9 and NFATC1 were characteristically expressed in the neuroendocrine group in adult TECs and thymic carcinomas. Additionally, the pan-thymic epithelium markers, exemplified by PAX9 and SIX1, were significantly suppressed in thymic carcinomas. CONCLUSIONS Thymic carcinomas might be characterized by unique neuroendocrine differentiation and loss of identity as thymic epithelial cells. Future studies investigating the role of HDAC9 and NFATC1 in thymic epithelium are warranted to explore their potential as therapeutic targets in TETs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess whether acoustic stimulations relieve venipuncture pain and determine which stimulation is the most effective type. DESIGN Systematic review and network meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, ClinicalTrials.gov and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform databases were systematically searched in September 2023. STUDY SELECTION Randomised controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of acoustic stimulations on patients undergoing venipuncture were eligible. Acoustic stimulations were classified into seven categories: five types of acoustic stimulations (music medicine (researcher selected), music medicine (patient selected), music therapy, sounds with linguistic meaning and sounds without linguistic meaning) and two controls (only wearing headphones and no treatment). PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcomes included self-reported pain intensity assessed during venipuncture and treatment cost, and secondary outcomes were self-reported mental distress and adverse events. RESULTS Of 6406 citations, this network meta-analysis included 27 studies including 3416 participants; the mean age was 31.5 years, and 57% were men. Among the five types of acoustic stimulations, only musical interventions, such as music medicine (patient selected) (standardised mean difference (SMD) -0.44 (95% CI: -0.84 to -0.03); low confidence), music medicine (researcher selected) (SMD -0.76 (95% CI: -1.10 to -0.42); low confidence) and music therapy (SMD -0.79 (95% CI: -1.44 to -0.14); low confidence), were associated with improved pain relief during venipuncture compared with no treatment. No significant differences existed between the types of acoustic stimulations. Free-of-charge acoustic stimulations were provided to patients, and no specific adverse events were reported. In many studies, the risk of bias was rated high because of the difficulty of blinding the intervention to the participants and the self-reported pain outcome. CONCLUSIONS Music interventions were associated with reduced venipuncture pain. Comparisons between types of acoustic stimulations revealed no significant differences. Therefore, music intervention could be a safe and inexpensive pain relief method for venipuncture. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42022303852.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether sleep quality and duration assessed from multiple domains, either individually or in combination, are strongly associated with mortality risk in older adults remains unelucidated. We aimed to clarify these relationships. METHODS We enrolled 7,668 older (age ≥65 years) Japanese adults in the Kyoto-Kameoka prospective cohort study who provided valid responses to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in a mail-in survey. Sleep quality and duration were classified into six groups using the previously validated PSQI: short sleep duration (SSD: <360 min/day)/sleep disturbance (SD: ≥5.5 PSQI points), n = 701; SSD/non-sleep disturbance (NSD: <5.5 PSQI points), n = 100; optimal sleep duration (OSD: 360-480 min/day)/NSD, n = 1,863; OSD/SD, n = 2,113; long sleep duration (LSD: >480 min/day)/NSD, n = 1,972; LSD/SD, n = 919. Mortality data were collected from February 15, 2012, to November 30, 2016. We evaluated the relationship between all-cause mortality risk and sleep quality and duration (and their combinations) using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model that included baseline covariates. RESULTS The median follow-up period was 4.75 years (34,826 person-years), with a total of 616 deaths. After adjusting for confounders, compared with other groups, SSD/SD and LSD/SD had the highest hazard ratio (HR) of mortality (SSD/SD: HR 1.56; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-2.19; SSD/NSD: HR 1.27; 95% CI, 0.47-3.48; OSD/NSD: reference; OSD/SD: HR 1.20; 95% CI, 0.91-1.59; LSD/NSD: HR 1.35; 95% CI, 1.03-1.77; LSD/SD: HR 1.83; 95% CI, 1.37-2.45). However, mortality risk was not associated with the interaction between sleep quality and duration. CONCLUSION Older adults with sleep disturbances involving SSD and LSD have a strong positive association with mortality risk, suggesting an additive effect between sleep quality and duration.

Abstract
Sulfatides are a type of sulfated glycosphingolipid that are secreted with lipoproteins into the serum. These molecules are involved in the inflammatory pathway of vessels in addition to coagulation and platelet aggregation. Previous studies have proposed that sulfatides play a pivotal role in regulating inflammation-related disorders. Systemic vasculitis (SV) diseases are generally caused by autoimmune diseases and often involve kidney vasculitis, which may lead to rapidly progressive kidney dysfunction and end-stage kidney disease. Our earlier pilot study revealed that the level of serum sulfatides (SSs) was significantly decreased in patients with anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV), a representative disease-causing SV with kidney involvement (SVKI), especially in patients exhibiting active crescentic findings on kidney biopsy. To further explore the clinical significance of an association between SS and SVKI, we analyzed and compared the SS level of patients with various SVKI diseases in this retrospective cohort study. Among patients admitted to our hospital between 2008 and 2021, we ultimately enrolled 26 patients with IgA vasculitis (IgAV), 62 patients with AAV, and 10 patients with anti-glomerular basement membrane disease (GBM) as examples of SVKI diseases, as well as 50 patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and 23 donors for living kidney transplantation as controls. The mean ± standard deviation SS level in the donor, IgAN, IgAV, AAV, and GBM groups was 8.26 ± 1.72, 8.01 ± 2.21, 6.01 ± 1.73, 5.37 ± 1.97, and 2.73 ± 0.99 nmol/mL, respectively. Analysis of patients in the SVKI disease group showed that those with the crescentic class kidney biopsy finding exhibited a significantly lower SS level than did those with other class biopsy features. Additionally, the SS level had a higher detection ability for SVKI patients with crescentic class kidney biopsy findings (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.90, 95% confidence interval 0.82-0.99) than did several other predictor candidates. Our results indicate that the SS level is decreased in more severe SVKI diseases and may be associated with active glomerular lesions in SVKI kidney biopsy samples.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study aimed to elucidate the association between disruption of circadian activity rhythms and obesity-related indices. This study included 69 older participants (male, n = 36; female, n = 33), and disruption of circadian activity rhythms in daily life was assessed using the cosinor method based on physical activity data. The daily physical activity data were fitted to a cosine curve to estimate the peak phase (acrophase), and the difference in the peak phase (time) for each day was determined. The standard deviation (SD) of the mean peak phase differences over 6 days was obtained. The higher the SD value, the more disturbed the circadian rhythm of activity. Based on the calculated values, the samples were divided into tertiles (small, medium, and large). A significant positive correlation was found between Log SD and body fat percentage on the disruption of circadian activity rhythms and obesity-related indices. In addition, positive associations were observed among body mass, body mass index, and Log SD. However, these associations were not observed in women. These results suggest that disruption of circadian activity rhythms is associated with obesity-related indices and may differ according to sex.

Abstract
ABSTRACT An 87-year-old woman presented with a pedunculated nodule of 1.2 × 1.2 × 0.6 cm on her left cheek. Microscopic examination of the lesion revealed bowenoid and rosette-like basaloid components, resembling Bowen disease and neuroendocrine carcinoma, respectively. Immunohistochemically, both components were positive for Wnt signaling pathway molecules-nuclear/cytoplasmic beta-catenin, lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1 (LEF1), and caudal type homeobox 2 (CDX2)-and the adnexal marker SRY-box transcription factor 9 (SOX9). Unlike neuroendocrine tumors and basal cell carcinomas, the basaloid component in the present case was negative for chromogranin A, INSM1, synaptophysin, and p40. Previously reported cases of similar CDX2-positive lesions were diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma with enteric adenocarcinomatous differentiation and basaloid cutaneous carcinoma with a primitive cytomorphology. However, the lesion in the present case was simultaneously positive for SOX9, indicating adnexal differentiation. In particular, the expression of multiple Wnt signaling pathway molecules indicates follicular differentiation despite the absence of morphological follicular features, such as shadow cells. Moreover, shared immunopositivity for SOX9, CDX2, nuclear/cytoplasmic beta-catenin, and LEF1 by both bowenoid and basaloid components indicated that the bowenoid component did not represent Bowen disease but a part of the adnexal tumor, and that the basaloid component was not a tumor-to-tumor metastasis. After complete excision, no recurrence has been observed for 5 months. The findings of the present case expand the histological spectrum of cutaneous adnexal tumors with follicular immunophenotypic differentiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a technique widely used for estimating body composition and health-related parameters. The technology is relatively simple, quick, and non-invasive, and is currently used globally in diverse settings, including private clinicians' offices, sports and health clubs, and hospitals, and across a spectrum of age, body weight, and disease states. BIA parameters can be used to estimate body composition (fat, fat-free mass, total-body water and its compartments). Moreover, raw measurements including resistance, reactance, phase angle, and impedance vector length can also be used to track health-related markers, including hydration and malnutrition, and disease-prognostic, athletic and general health status. Body composition shows profound variability in association with age, sex, race and ethnicity, geographic ancestry, lifestyle, and health status. To advance understanding of this variability, we propose to develop a large and diverse multi-country dataset of BIA raw measures and derived body components. The aim of this paper is to describe the 'BIA International Database' project and encourage researchers to join the consortium. METHODS The Exercise and Health Laboratory of the Faculty of Human Kinetics, University of Lisbon has agreed to host the database using an online portal. At present, the database contains 277,922 measures from individuals ranging from 11 months to 102 years, along with additional data on these participants. CONCLUSION The BIA International Database represents a key resource for research on body composition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult non-neoplastic hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (ANHH), also known as adult-onset nesidioblastosis, is a rare cause of endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in adults. This disease is characterized by diffuse hyperplasia of pancreatic endocrine cells and is diagnosed by a pathological examination. While diagnostic criteria for this disease have already been proposed, we established more quantitative criteria for evaluating islet morphology. METHODS We measured the number, maximum diameter, total area, and circularity (representing how closely islets resemble perfect spheres) of islets contained in representative sections of ANHH (n = 4) and control cases (n = 5) using the NIS-Elements software program. We also measured the average cell size, percentage of cells with enlarged nuclei, and percentage of cells with recognizable nucleoli for each of three representative islets. We also assessed the interobserver diagnostic concordance of ANHH between five experienced and seven less-experienced pathologists. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the number, maximum diameter, or total area of islets between the two groups, even after correcting for these parameters per unit area. However, the number of islets with low circularity (< 0.71) per total area of the pancreatic parenchyma was significantly larger in ANHH specimens than in controls. We also found that the percentage of cells with recognizable nucleoli was significantly higher in the ANHH group than in the controls. There were no significant differences in the average cell size or the number of cells with enlarged nuclei between the groups. The correct diagnosis rate with the blind test was 47.5% ± 6.12% for experienced pathologists and 50.0% ± 8.63% for less-experienced pathologists, with no significant differences noted. CONCLUSIONS Low circularity, which indicates an irregular islet shape, referred to as "irregular shape and occasional enlargement of islets" and "lobulated islet structure" in a previous report, is a useful marker for diagnosing ANHH. An increased percentage of recognizable nucleoli, corresponding to "macronucleoli in β-cells," has potential diagnostic value.

Abstract
Fat-free mass (FFM) is a heterogeneous compartment comprising body cell mass (BCM), intracellular water (ICW), extracellular solids, and extracellular water (ECW). The BCM/FFM and ECW/ICW ratios vary among individuals and decrease with age. This study aimed to determine whether BCM/FFM and ECW/ICW ratios are predictors of maximal oxygen uptake (V̇̇O2peak) independently of age, sex, and objectively measured physical activity (PA). A total of 115 Japanese males and females, aged 55.3 ± 8.0 years (mean ± standard deviation), were included in the study. Anthropometry, explosive leg muscle power, and V̇̇O2peak were measured, and BCM, FFM, ICW, and ECW were estimated. Step count and PA were objectively measured using a triaxial accelerometer. Blood flow volume was assessed using ultrasonography. BCM and ICW were negatively correlated with age, whereas FFM and ECW were not significantly correlated with age. FFM, ICW/ECW, BCM/FFM, step counts, moderate and vigorous PA, and leg muscle power were positively correlated with V̇̇O2peak, even after adjusting for age and sex (p < .05). Multiple regression analysis indicated that either BCM/FFM or ECW/ICW, leg power, and objectively measured PA were associated with V̇̇O2peak independent of age, sex, and FFM. Blood flow volume was significantly correlated with ECW (p < .05), but not with BCM. The BCM/FFM and ECW/ICW ratios were significant predictors of V̇̇O2peak, independent of age, sex, FFM, leg power, and objectively measured PA.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Brain metastases are common in NSCLC with up to 25% of patients having brain metastases (BMs) at the time of diagnosis and 30% developing BMs during their disease course. KRAS is an oncogenic driver in approximately 25% of lung adenocarcinomas. Genomic alterations co-occurring with KRAS are associated with distinct biological landscapes which may influence prognosis. Herein, we sought to identify correlations between genomic profiles, intracranial progression free survival (iPFS), and overall survival (OS). MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 156 patients with KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinoma BM who underwent SRS for their BMs at MSKCC from 2010-2022. Each patient had at least one tumor sample profiled with MSK-IMPACT, a custom FDA-cleared next-generation sequencing. Mutations, copy number alterations, and fusions were filtered for driver alterations using OncoKB. Survival outcomes were calculated from date of MRI indicating metastatic brain disease. RESULTS Of the 156 patients, 80 patients presented with BMs at diagnosis whereas 76 developed BMs during their disease course, with a median 2 lines of therapy prior to BM diagnosis. The most common KRAS mutation was G12C (n = 64; 41%), G12V (n = 26, 17%), G12D (n = 17; 11%), and G12A (n = 11; 7%). The most frequently co-altered genes were TP53 (n = 71, 46%), STK11 (n = 51, 33%), CDKN2A (n = 27, 17%), KEAP1 (n = 17, 11%), and SMARCA4 (n = 10, 6%). The presence of a KEAP1 co-occurring alteration was associated with inferior iPFS (HR 1.95, 95% CI 1.05 - 3.59, p = 0.035) and the presence of SMARCA4 was also associated with inferior iPFS (HR 2.28, 95% CI 1.05 - 4.95, p = 0.038). The presence of an STK11 mutation was associated with worse OS (HR 1.57, 95% 1.01 - 2.43, p = 0.045). In a multi-variate clinico-genomic model, KEAP1 and STK11 co-occurring alterations remained significantly associated with iPFS. Patients with KEAP1-altered tumors had an increased incidence of intracranial regional progression. The 24-month cumulative incidence of regional progression amongst KEAP1-altered tumors was 57% (95% CI, 29%-77%) compared with 37% (95% CI, 29%-46%) among KEAP1-wildtype tumors (P = 0.041). Patients with CDKN2A-altered tumors had an increased incidence of leptomeningeal disease (LMD) as a form of intracranial progression. The 24-month cumulative incidence of LMD amongst CDKN2A-altered tumors was 11% (95% CI, 2.7%-27%) compared with 4.1% (95% CI, 1.5%-8.8%) among CDKN2A-wildtype tumors (P = 0.023). CONCLUSION In our cohort of molecularly profiled KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinoma BM patients treated with SRS, we found that co-occurring KEAP1 and STK11 were significantly associated with worse iPFS. We also observed that CDKN2A co-altered tumors had an increased incidence of LMD. These findings have implications for future efforts to personalize brain metastasis management based on comprehensive genomic profiling.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Previous data have shown that inpatient radiation oncology consult services result in high-value care, with decreased length of stay, adoption and delivery of shorter fractionation schedules, and lower hospital costs. As such, institutions are increasingly creating inpatient radiation oncology services, although little is known about the allocation of limited resources for patients who may have limited prognosis, complex simulation requirements, and may have difficulty tolerating treatment. Thus, we sought to examine the utilization of simulation appointments for inpatient emergencies. MATERIALS/METHODS At our institution, inpatient consults are placed to a specialized inpatient palliative radiation oncology service, consisting of radiation oncologists specialized in metastatic and palliative RT, dedicated advanced practitioners, and nurses who specifically assess patients for medical appropriateness prior to simulation, including changes in disposition, medical stability, and adequate premedication. Electronic health record data was used to explore utilization trends of a single-institution inpatient radiation oncology consult service in 2020. Data regarding the nature and timing of consults, subsequent simulations and treatments, and patient outcomes including 14-day mortality and 30-day mortality from radiation (RT) start were assessed. Descriptive statistics are presented. RESULTS From 1/1/2020-12/31/2020, 1557 consults were placed. These consults led to 220 (14.1%) inpatient simulations. Of these planned simulations, 210 (95.5%) simulations occurred (of which 10 [4.8%] were rescheduled and eventually completed) and 179 (85.2%) completed treatment. Of 169 with mortality data available, 16 (9.5%) died within 14 days of RT start, and 41 (24.5%) died within 30 days of RT start. Of those with scheduling data (N = 193), 122 were same-day simulations (63.2%), and 507 (93.8%) occurred within 7 days or fewer. CONCLUSION Of 1557 inpatient consultations in one year, with appropriate metastatic and palliative experience, only a minority of consultations required inpatient simulation (14.1%). With appropriate nursing assessment, over 95% were able to complete simulation, with nearly two-thirds completing simulation on the same day, and nearly all patients completing simulation within a week of consultation. Most of these patients completed treatment and survived 30 days from treatment start. Thus, with highly specialized radiation oncologist clinical judgment in conjunction with appropriate nursing assessment prior to simulation scheduling, patients booked for simulation represent high-value utilization of resources.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To describe the feasibility of treating a complex and diverse group of patients using pencil beam scanning (PBS) proton stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT: 5 or fewer fractions, with a fraction size of at least 5 Gy). MATERIALS/METHODS Our center treats on average 105-120 PBS proton treatments daily, of which 9.5% of treatment courses are proton SBRT. Statistics of disease sites, treatment planning parameters (target volume, prescriptions, number of fields, SFO vs. MFO), and treatment efficiencies (scheduled time slots, actual treatment time) are presented for 305 consecutive SBRT patients receiving 1507 fractions in the past three years. Thermoplastic masks or Vacuum-lock bags are used to immobilize SBRT patients and index the patients' treatment position. Imaging guidance of orthogonal kV images and volumetric cone-beam CT is routinely used for patient setup. RESULTS SBRT patients are grouped based on the target locations: pelvis (31%), liver (17%), thoracic (13%), spine (8%), abdominal (8%), brain (7%), non-spine bone (7%), ocular (6%), and head and neck (2%). Only 112 patients (37%) were receiving their 1st RT course, whereas 113 (37%) had one prior in-field RT course, and 80 (26%) had multiple prior in-field RT courses. The median [IQR] target volume was 65.4 [29.3, 168] cc (range: 0.3-2475 cc). 72% of cases were planned with SFO and 28% with MFO. On average, 3.76 fields (range: 2 to 12) were planned for each treatment. 44% of the treatments were planned with three or fewer fields, and 10% received more than five fields, most of which involved repainting for moving targets. Over 97% of treatments were delivered in 5 fractions, with ∼3% delivered in 3 fractions. The median [IQR] prescription per treatment was 8 [7, 10] Gy (range: 5-18 Gy per treatment). 85% (84%) of the SBRT treatments were scheduled (delivered) in a 45-minute or shorter slot, and 6% (7%) of treatments were scheduled (delivered) in over a one-hour slot, most commonly for multiple isocenter treatments. 93% of treatments were delivered within 15 minutes of the planned treatment time or shorter. Deep-inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) was applied to 45% of liver SBRT cases, with the remaining 55% planned on 4D CT with (14%) or without (86%) abdominal compression. DIBH was applied in 13% of lung SBRT cases. The application of other motion mitigation approaches, such as volumetric repainting, was determined by the target motion amplitude and whether the patient could tolerate DIBH. CONCLUSION In the most diverse and largest proton SBRT experience delivered in the world over the past 3 years, over 300 patients were treated, demonstrating the feasibility and efficiency of delivering proton SBRT in a very busy center. The planning and treatment parameter statistics reported serve as a helpful reference for the proton community.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Invisible ink tattoos allow for setup accuracy while avoiding the cosmetic permanence of visible ink tattoos. The goal of this trial was to evaluate patient-reported preference for the use of invisible ink tattoos in a radiation oncology clinic. MATERIALS/METHODS In an IRB-approved, prospective, feasibility trial, patients at a single institution receiving pencil beam scanning proton therapy to the thorax, abdomen, or pelvis underwent invisible ink tattoo-based treatment setup. Patient preference surveys comparing visible and invisible ink tattoos were completed prior to simulation (17 questions), immediately following simulation (5 questions), and at the end of treatment (18 questions), with preference scored on a 5-point Likert scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree, and cosmesis scored on a 4-point Likert scale of excellent-good-fair-poor. Differences in distributions were examined using Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, Fisher's exact tests, or chi-square tests, where statistical significance was considered at p<0.05. RESULTS Of 107 patients screened, 102 were enrolled and 94 completed all surveys. Mean age was 55.0 years, and 58.5% were female. Most patients were white (79.1%) and non-Hispanic (92.6%). Patients most commonly had breast (34.0%), prostate (16.0%), and lung (9.6%) cancer. An average of 5 (range 3-8) invisible ink tattoos were placed per patient. Overall, 75.5% of patients reported that they would prefer to receive invisible tattoos vs. visible tattoos, and 88.3% rated the overall cosmetic outcome of invisible ink tattoo marks as excellent or good. Compared to males, females were more willing to travel farther from their home in order to avoid receiving visible tattoos (45.4% vs. 23.1%, p = 0.035) and would pay additional money to avoid receiving visible tattoos (34.5% vs. 5.1%, p = 0.002). Patients who had previously received any tattoo (cosmetic or visible RT tattoos) were more satisfied with the appearance of their invisible ink tattoos compared to those who had never previously received tattoos (82.9% vs. 61.5%, p = 0.022). Patients receiving definitive intent RT were more satisfied with the appearance of the tattoos compared to those receiving palliative intent RT (67.1% vs. 38.9%, p = 0.011). Patients with at least a college education were less satisfied with the appearance of tattoos compared to those without a college education (67.0% vs. 95.0% p = 0.018). CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate stronger avoidance of visible tattoos and patient preference for invisible tattoos. The standard incorporation of invisible ink tattoos for patient setup should be strongly considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tumors may develop in the grafted liver after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma, most of which are hepatocellular carcinoma recurrences and are rarely of donor origin. We report a rare case of donor-origin intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma in a liver allograft after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS A man in his 60s underwent liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma with hepatitis C virus cirrhosis. The donor was a braindead woman in her 60s who had no history of malignancy. RESULTS Three years and 5 months after liver transplantation, a tumor developed in the allograft. Computed tomography scans showed a 40-mm tumor that was atypical for hepatocellular carcinoma. Tumor biopsy was most suggestive of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Fluorescence in situ hybridization of the tumor showed an XX signal pattern, suggesting that it originated from the donor liver. Whole exome sequencing analysis strongly suggested that the tumor was an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma derived from the donor. CONCLUSIONS Although donor-origin cancer after liver transplantation is extremely rare, it should be considered for adequate treatment.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to investigate the association of muscle thickness (MT) and echo intensity (EI) obtained at different regions along the muscle length with muscle volume (MV), intramuscular adipose tissue (IntraMAT), and muscle strength of the quadriceps femoris (QF). Patients and Methods A total of 135 community-dwelling adults (64 men and 71 women) participated in the study. Ultrasound scanning of the rectus femoris (RF) and vastus intermedius (VI) was performed at three locations (from mid- to distal thigh). The MT of the RF and VI and EI of the RF were measured. MRI-derived MV, IntraMAT, and muscle strength of the QF were measured. Results The correlation between RF-MT and RF-MV weakened as scanning approached the distal thigh, and the difference between the coefficients for the scanning locations was significant for women. However, the correlation of VI-MT with VI-MV and that of the combined MT of RF and VI with the MV of the whole QF and muscle strength were comparable among the scanning locations for both sexes. The correlation of RF-EI with the IntraMAT of the RF and the whole QF and muscle strength was also comparable among the scanning locations for both sexes. Conclusion The results of this study suggest that ultrasound measurements at the distal thigh can predict MV, IntraMAT, and muscle strength of the QF to the same degree as those at the mid-thigh.

Abstract
There is considerably greater variation in metabolic rates between men than between women, in terms of basal, activity and total (daily) energy expenditure (EE). One possible explanation is that EE is associated with male sexual characteristics (which are known to vary more than other traits) such as musculature and athletic capacity. Such traits might be predicted to be most prominent during periods of adolescence and young adulthood, when sexual behaviour develops and peaks. We tested this hypothesis on a large dataset by comparing the amount of male variation and female variation in total EE, activity EE and basal EE, at different life stages, along with several morphological traits: height, fat free mass and fat mass. Total EE, and to some degree also activity EE, exhibit considerable greater male variation (GMV) in young adults, and then a decreasing GMV in progressively older individuals. Arguably, basal EE, and also morphometrics, do not exhibit this pattern. These findings suggest that single male sexual characteristics may not exhibit peak GMV in young adulthood, however total and perhaps also activity EE, associated with many morphological and physiological traits combined, do exhibit GMV most prominently during the reproductive life stages.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) and a Frailty Index based on laboratory tests (FI-lab) in terms of what each assesses about frailty and to determine the appropriateness of combined use of these two frailty scales. METHODS This was a prospective observational cohort study in an acute geriatric ward of a university hospital. The FI-lab is the proportion of laboratory parameters that yield abnormal results from a total of 23. The FI-lab and CFS were assessed at admission. Data on activities of daily living (ADL), cognition, geriatric syndromes, and comorbidities were also collected. Main outcomes were in-hospital mortality and 90-day mortality after admission. RESULTS In total, 378 inpatients (mean age 85.2 ± 5.8 years, 59.3% female) were enrolled. ADL and cognition correlated strongly with the CFS (Spearman's |r|> 0.60) but weakly with the FI-lab (|r|< 0.30). Both the CFS and FI-lab correlated weakly with geriatric syndromes and comorbidities (|r|< 0.40). The correlation between the CFS and FI-lab was also weak (r = 0.28). The CFS and FI-lab were independently associated with in-hospital mortality and 90-day mortality after admission. The Akaike information criterion was lower for models using both the CFS and FI-lab than for models using either tool alone. CONCLUSIONS The CFS and FI-lab each reflected only some of the aspects of frailty in acutely hospitalized older patients. The model fit was better when the two frailty scales were used together to assess the mortality risk than when either was used alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a minimally invasive, safe, easy, and quick technology used to determine body composition. OBJECTIVES We compared the relationship among impedance indices obtained using single-frequency BIA, multi-frequency BIA, bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS), and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) of physically active young men and athletes using the creatine (methyl-d3) dilution method. We also compared the SMM and intracellular water (ICW) of athletes and active young men measured using a reference stable isotope dilution and BIS method, respectively. METHODS We analyzed data from 28 men (mean age, 20 ± 2 y) who exercised regularly. Single-frequency BIA at 5 kHz and 50 kHz (R5 and R50), multi-frequency BIA (R250-5), and BIS (RICW) methods of determining the SMM were compared. The deuterium and sodium bromide dilution methods of obtaining the total body water, ICW, and extracellular water measurements were also used, and the results were compared to those acquired using bioimpedance methods. RESULTS The correlation coefficients between SMM and L2/R5, L2/R50, L2/R250-5, and L2/RICW were 0.738, 0.762, 0.790, and 0.790, respectively (P < 0.01). The correlation coefficients between ICW and L2/R5, L2/R50, L2/R250-5, and L2/RICW were 0.660, 0.687, 0.758, and 0.730, respectively (P < 0.001). However, the correlation coefficients of L2/R50, L2/R250-5, and L2/RICW for SMM and ICW were not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that single-frequency BIA at L2/R50, multi-frequency BIA, and BIS are valid for assessing the SMM of athletes and active young men. Additionally, we confirmed that the SMM and ICW were correlated with single-frequency BIA, multi-frequency BIA, and BIS. Bioimpedance technologies may be dependable and practical means for assessing SMM and hydration compartment status of active young adult males; however, cross-validation is needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to provide evidence for the revision of clinical practice guidelines for the management of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis by the Japan Research Committee for Intractable Vasculitis. METHODS PubMed, CENTRAL, and the Japan Medical Abstracts Society databases were searched for articles published between 2015 and 2020 to update the systematic review for existing clinical questions, while PubMed, CENTRAL, EMBASE, and the Japan Medical Abstracts Society were searched for articles published between 2000 and 2020 to conduct a systematic review for newly developed clinical questions. The certainty of evidence was assessed with the GRADE approach. RESULTS For remission induction, when used in conjunction with cyclophosphamide or rituximab, reduced-dose glucocorticoid lowered the risk of serious adverse events compared to standard-dose glucocorticoid. Avacopan improved sustained remission at 12 months compared to high-dose glucocorticoid. Addition of plasma exchange to remission induction therapy did not reduce the risk of death, end-stage kidney disease, or relapse. For remission maintenance, rituximab reduced the risk of relapse compared to azathioprine. Long-term rituximab or azathioprine reduced the risk of relapse compared to short-term rituximab or azathioprine, respectively. CONCLUSIONS This systematic review provided evidence required to develop the 2023 clinical practice guideline for the management of ANCA-associated vasculitis.

Abstract
Polyp bail-out constitutes both a stress response and an asexual reproductive strategy that potentially facilitates dispersal of some scleractinian corals, including several dominant reef-building taxa in the family Pocilloporidae. Recent studies have proposed that microorganisms may be involved in onset and progression of polyp bail-out. However, changes in the coral microbiome during polyp bail-out have not been investigated. In this study, we induced polyp bail-out in Pocillopora corals using hypersaline and hyperthermal methods. Bacterial community dynamics during bail-out induction were examined using the V5-V6 region of the 16S-rRNA gene. From 70 16S-rRNA gene libraries constructed from coral tissues, 1,980 OTUs were identified. Gammaproteobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria consistently constituted the dominant bacterial taxa in all coral tissue samples. Onset of polyp bail-out was characterized by increased relative abundance of Alphaproteobacteria and decreased abundance of Gammaproteobacteria in both induction experiments, with the shift being more prominent in response to elevated temperature than to elevated salinity. Four OTUs, affiliated with Thalassospira, Marisediminitalea, Rhodobacteraceae, and Myxococcales, showed concurrent abundance increases at the onset of polyp bail-out in both experiments, suggesting potential microbial causes of this coral stress response. IMPORTANCE Polyp bail-out represents both a stress response and an asexual reproductive strategy with significant implications for reshaping tropical coral reefs in response to global climate change. Although earlier studies have suggested that coral-associated microbiomes likely contribute to initiation of polyp bail-out in scleractinian corals, there have been no studies of coral microbiome shifts during polyp bail-out. In this study, we present the first investigation of changes in bacterial symbionts during two experiments in which polyp bail-out was induced by different environmental stressors. These results provide a background of coral microbiome dynamics during polyp bail-out development. Increases in abundance of Thalassospira, Marisediminitalea, Rhodobacteraceae, and Myxococcales that occurred in both experiments suggest that these bacteria are potential microbial causes of polyp bail-out, shedding light on the proximal triggering mechanism of this coral stress response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to examine the association between intrinsic capacity (IC) and adverse outcomes of hospitalization. DESIGN A prospective observational cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS We recruited patients aged 65 years or older who were admitted to the geriatric ward of an acute hospital between Oct 2019 and Sep 2022. MEASUREMENTS Each of the five IC domains (locomotion, cognition, vitality, sensory, and psychological capacity) was graded into three levels, and the composite IC score was calculated (0, lowest; 10, highest). Hospital-related outcomes were defined as in-hospital death, hospital-associated complications (HACs), length of hospital stay, and frequency of discharge to home. RESULTS In total, 296 individuals (mean age 84.7 ± 5.4 years, 42.7 % males) were analyzed. Mean composite IC score was 6.5 ± 1.8, and 95.6 % of participants had impairment in at least one IC domain. A higher composite IC score was independently associated with lower frequency of in-hospital death (odds ratio [OR] 0.59) and HACs (OR 0.71), higher frequency of discharge to home (OR 1.50), and shorter length of hospital stay (β = -0.24, p < 0.01). The locomotion, cognition, and psychological domains were independently associated with the occurrence of HACs, discharge destination, and length of hospital stay. CONCLUSION Evaluating IC was feasible in the hospital setting and was associated with outcomes of hospitalization. For older inpatients with decreased IC, integrated management may be required to achieve functional independence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccination is recommended for patients undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT), including hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), and kidney transplantation (KT). However, the difference in the immune response between RRT patients and healthy individuals after mRNA vaccines remains uncertain. METHODS This retrospective observational study evaluated the anti-severe-acute-respiratory-syndrome-coronavirus-2 (anti-SARS-CoV-2) IgG antibody acquisition, titers and their changes, normal response rate (reaching titers of healthy individuals), factors associated with a normal response, and effectiveness of booster vaccination in Japanese RRT patients. RESULTS Most HD and PD patients acquired anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies after the second vaccination; however, their antibody titers and normal response rates (62-75%) were low compared with those of healthy subjects. Approximately 62% of KT recipients acquired antibodies, but the normal response rate was low (23%). Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody waning occurred in the control, HD, and PD groups, while negative or very low titers remained in KT recipients. Third booster vaccination was effective in most HD and PD patients. However, the effect was mild in KT recipients - only 58% reached a normal response level. Multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated that younger age, higher serum albumin level, and RRT other than KT were significantly associated with a normal response after the second vaccination. CONCLUSIONS RRT patients, particularly KT recipients, exhibited poor vaccine responses. Booster vaccination would be beneficial for HD and PD patients; however, its effect in KT recipients was mild. Further COVID-19 vaccinations using the latest vaccine or alternative procedures should be considered in RRT patients.

Abstract
The serrated neoplasia pathway constitutes an "alternative route" to colorectal cancer (CRC), and sessile serrated lesions with dysplasia (SSLDs) are an intermediate step between sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) and invasive CRC in this pathway. While SSLs show indolent growth before becoming dysplastic (> 10-15 years), SSLDs are considered to rapidly progress to either immunogenic microsatellite instable-high (MSI-H) CRC (presumably 75% of cases) or mesenchymal microsatellite stable (MSS) CRC. Their flat shapes and the relatively short window of this intermediate state make it difficult to detect and diagnose SSLDs; thus, these lesions are potent precursors of post-colonoscopy/interval cancers. Confusing terminology and the lack of longitudinal observation data of serrated polyps have hampered the accumulation of knowledge about SSLDs; however, a growing body of evidence has started to clarify their characteristics and biology. Together with recent efforts to incorporate terminology, histological studies of SSLDs have identified distinct dysplastic patterns and revealed alterations in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Molecular studies at the single-cell level have identified distinct gene alterations in both the epithelium and the TME. Mouse serrated tumor models have demonstrated the importance of TME in disease progression. Advances in colonoscopy provide clues to distinguish pre-malignant from non-malignant-SSLs. Recent progress in all aspects of the field has enhanced our understanding of the biology of SSLDs. The aim of this review article was to assess the current knowledge of SSLDs and highlight their clinical implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscle thickness (MT) and echo intensity (EI) measurements are ultrasound alternatives to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating muscle quantity and quality. The vastus medialis (VM) is a clinically important muscle, and assessment methods that most accurately reflect its quantity and quality are required. This study aimed to examine the correlation between MT and EI measured in the supine and sitting postures with corresponding MRI-measured muscle quantity and quality indices. METHODS In total, 134 adults (91 older and 43 young) participated in this study. Ultrasound images of the VM were acquired in the supine and sitting postures, and MT and EI were measured. The cross-sectional area (CSA), muscle volume (MV), and intramuscular adipose tissue (intraMAT) of the VM were evaluated from MRI images using T1-weighted and Dixon methods. Pearson's coefficients were used to quantify the correlation strength amongst pairs of dependent variables. Meng's test was used to test for correlation coefficient differences between the two measurement postures (supine and sitting). RESULTS The correlation coefficients amongst MT, CSA, and MV were significantly higher in the sitting posture than in the supine posture. EI measured in the supine and sitting postures correlated significantly with intraMAT, and in young individuals, these correlation coefficients were significantly higher in the sitting posture than in the supine posture. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that assessment of VM muscle quantity in the sitting posture is superior for young and older individuals, and assessment of VM muscle quality in the sitting posture is most effective in younger individuals.

Abstract
Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) encompass morphologically various subtypes. Thus, it would be meaningful to explore the expression phenotypes that delineate each TET subtype or overarching multiple subtypes. If these profiles are related to thymic physiology, they will improve our biological understanding of TETs and may contribute to the establishment of a more rational TET classification. Against this background, pathologists have attempted to identify histogenetic features in TETs for a long time. As part of this work, our group has reported several TET expression profiles that are histotype-dependent and related to the nature of thymic epithelial cells (TECs). For example, we found that beta5t, a constituent of thymoproteasome unique to cortical TECs, is expressed mainly in type B thymomas, for which the nomenclature of cortical thymoma was once considered. Another example is the discovery that most thymic carcinomas, especially thymic squamous cell carcinomas, exhibit expression profiles similar to tuft cells, a recently discovered special type of medullary TEC. This review outlines the currently reported histogenetic phenotypes of TETs, including those related to thymoma-associated myasthenia gravis, summarizes their genetic signatures, and provides a perspective for the future direction of TET classification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is highly heterogeneous, suggesting that small but relevant subsets have been under-recognized. Rare and mainly triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) were recently found to exhibit tuft cell-like expression profiles, including POU2F3, the tuft cell master regulator. In addition, immunohistochemistry (IHC) has identified POU2F3-positive cells in the normal human breast, suggesting the presence of tuft cells in this organ. METHODS Here, we (i) reviewed previously identified POU2F3-positive invasive breast cancers (n = 4) for POU2F3 expression in intraductal cancer components, (ii) investigated a new cohort of invasive breast cancers (n = 1853) by POU2F3-IHC, (iii) explored POU2F3-expressing cells in non-neoplastic breast tissues obtained from women with or without BRCA1 mutations (n = 15), and (iv) reanalyzed publicly available single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data from normal breast cells. RESULTS Two TNBCs of the four previously reported invasive POU2F3-positive breast cancers contained POU2F3-positive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). In the new cohort of invasive breast cancers, IHC revealed four POU2F3-positive cases, two of which were triple-negative, one luminal-type, and one triple-positive. In addition, another new POU2F3-positive tumor with a triple-negative phenotype was found in daily practice. All non-neoplastic breast tissues contained POU2F3-positive cells, irrespective of BRCA1 status. The scRNA-seq reanalysis confirmed POU2F3-expressing epithelial cells (3.3% of all epithelial cells) and the 17% that co-expressed the other two tuft cell-related markers (SOX9/AVIL or SOX9/GFI1B), which suggested they were bona fide tuft cells. Of note, SOX9 is also known as the "master regulator" of TNBCs. CONCLUSIONS POU2F3 expression defines small subsets in various breast cancer subtypes, which can be accompanied by DCIS. The mechanistic relationship between POU2F3 and SOX9 in the breast warrants further analysis to enhance our understanding of normal breast physiology and to clarify the significance of the tuft cell-like phenotype for TNBCs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the diagnostic performance of a non-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol combining high-resolution diffusion-weighted images (HR-DWI) using readout-segmented echo planar imaging, T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), and T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), using our modified Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (modified BI-RADS). METHODS Two experienced radiologists, blinded to the final pathological diagnosis, categorized a total of 108 breast lesions (61 malignant and 47 benign) acquired with the above protocol using the modified BI-RADS with a diagnostic decision tree. The decision tree included subcategories of category 4, as in mammography (categories 2, 3, 4A, 4B, 4C, and 5). These results were compared with the pathological diagnoses. RESULTS The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.89 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.83-0.95) for reader 1, and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.82-0.96) for reader 2. When categories 4C and above were classified as malignant, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 73.8%, 93.6%, and 82.4%, for reader 1; and 82.0%, 89.4%, and 85.2% for reader 2, respectively. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that using HR-DWI, T1WI/T2WI analyzed with a modified BI-RADS and a decision tree showed promising diagnostic performance in breast lesions, and is worthy of further study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The appendicular extracellular-to-intracellular water ratio (Ap ECW/ICW) has recently gained attention as a non-invasive measurable marker of muscle quality. However, there is a lack of basic evidence regarding age-related changes, sex differences, contribution to muscle strength independent of skeletal muscle mass (SMM), and potential improvement through physical activity (PA) in Ap ECW/ICW. METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled 8,018 middle-aged and older Japanese individuals (aged 45-75 years). The Ap ECW/ICW and SMM were measured using segmental bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy. Muscle strength was evaluated by measuring the handgrip strength (HGS) with a dynamometer, and the PA level (PAL) was measured with an accelerometer. We performed a linear regression analysis of the associations of the Ap ECW/ICW with age, HGS, and PAL. RESULTS The Ap ECW/ICW increased by 0.019 for men and 0.014 for women per 5-year increase in age (p < 0.001), and the age-related increase was greater in men than in women (p for interaction <0.001). The Ap ECW/ICW was more strongly associated with the HGS than with the SMM in both men and women (p < 0.001). PAL showed a significant inverse association with the Ap ECW/ICW in both men and women (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Ap ECW/ICW is higher with age, and it varies by sex. The Ap ECW/ICW may reflect muscle strength more than the SMM, suggesting that the Ap ECW/ICW may be improved by PA. The findings from this study may provide a framework for further Ap ECW/ICW research.

Abstract
Obesity is caused by a prolonged positive energy balance1,2. Whether reduced energy expenditure stemming from reduced activity levels contributes is debated3,4. Here we show that in both sexes, total energy expenditure (TEE) adjusted for body composition and age declined since the late 1980s, while adjusted activity energy expenditure increased over time. We use the International Atomic Energy Agency Doubly Labelled Water database on energy expenditure of adults in the United States and Europe (n = 4,799) to explore patterns in total (TEE: n = 4,799), basal (BEE: n = 1,432) and physical activity energy expenditure (n = 1,432) over time. In males, adjusted BEE decreased significantly, but in females this did not reach significance. A larger dataset of basal metabolic rate (equivalent to BEE) measurements of 9,912 adults across 163 studies spanning 100 years replicates the decline in BEE in both sexes. We conclude that increasing obesity in the United States/Europe has probably not been fuelled by reduced physical activity leading to lowered TEE. We identify here a decline in adjusted BEE as a previously unrecognized factor.
