Abstract
OBJECTIVES Work engagement is an essential factor in improving employee performance. However, no reviews on the work engagement of psychiatric nurses have been conducted to date. This study aimed to examine the current status of research on the work engagement of psychiatric nurses and identify salient factors. DESIGN A scoping review. METHODS This review adhered to the established scoping review methodological guidelines and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Scoping Reviews checklist. The inclusion criteria were based on nurses, work engagement and psychiatric settings without language or date restrictions. Regardless of the methodology or study design, research studies related to the work engagement of psychiatric nurses have been included. A systematic search was conducted in MEDLINE, CINAHL and PsycINFO from the inception of each database, with the search strategies being set by an information specialist. The deadline for the search was 15 February 2023. RESULTS The study included 12 studies. All studies have been published since 2013. The study designs included cross-sectional (n=10), longitudinal (n=1) and intervention (n=1) studies. The impacts of work engagement were classified into (1) attitudes towards patients, (2) attitudes towards work, (3) mental health and (4) quality of care. Factors influencing work engagement were classified into (1) demographics, (2) workplace factors, (3) individual factors and (4) patient factors. CONCLUSION Work engagement of psychiatric nurses has lately gained attention, although data are limited because most studies used a cross-sectional design. Psychiatric nurses with higher work engagement showed positive outcomes. Workplace and individual factors can potentially improve their work engagement. The findings can assist nursing managers in enhancing psychiatric nurses' work engagement and, consequently, their performance.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of undercut depths on abutment teeth regarding the retentive force of clasps fabricated through selective laser melting (SLM), and to compare them with conventional cast clasps. METHODS Akers clasps made of cobalt chromium alloy were fabricated using the SLM method (SLM), and the retentive forces were compared with clasps made with the conventional cast method (Cast). Three undercut amounts (0.25 mm, 0.15 mm, and 0 mm) were applied on the abutment tooth. The specimens were subjected to 10,000 repetitive insertion/removal cycles. RESULTS SLM-0.15 showed slightly lower initial retentive force than the Cast specimens, it remained within an acceptable range. During insertion/removal test, the SLM-0.15 specimen showed a significant difference between the initial retentive force and the retentive force after 5,000 cycles, indicating that SLM-0.15 was the least likely to change in retentive force within the parameters established in this study. The inner clasp surface on the SLM groups had higher surface roughness before testing compared to the Cast specimen. CONCLUSIONS Akers clasps fabricated by SLM demonstrated optimal initial retentive forces with smaller undercuts than conventional Cast clasps, and the retentive forces changed less with repetitive insertion/removal.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthetic cells producing organic matter from CO2 and water have been extensively studied for carbon neutrality, and the research trend is currently transitioning from proof of concept using small-sized cells to large-scale demonstrations for practical applications. We previously demonstrated a 1 m2 size cell in which an electrochemical (EC) reactor featuring a ruthenium (Ru)-complex polymer (RuCP) cathode catalyst was integrated with photovoltaic cells. In this study, we tackled the remaining issue to improve the long-term durability of cathode electrodes used in the EC reactors, demonstrating high Faradaic efficiencies exceeding 80% and around 60% electricity-to-chemical energy-conversion efficiencies of a 75 cm2 sized EC reactor after continuous operation for 3000 h under practical conditions. Introduction of a pyrrole derivative containing an amino group in the RuCP coupled with UV-ozone treatment to create carboxyl groups on the carbon supports effectively reduced the detachment of the RuCP catalyst by forming a strong amide linkage. A newly developed chemically resistant graphite adhesive prevented the carbon supports from peeling off of the conductive substrates. In addition, highly durable anodes composed of IrOx-TaOy/Pt-metal oxide/Ti were adopted. Even though the EC reactor was installed at an inclined angle of 30°, which is approximately the optimal angle for receiving more solar energy, the crossover reactions were sufficiently suppressed because the porous separator film impeded the transfer of oxygen gas bubbles from the anode to the cathode. The intermittent operation improved the energy-conversion efficiency because the accumulated bubbles were removed at night.

Abstract
Purpose Fearful dental patients often cite various dental instruments or procedures as triggers for their dental fear. Thus, visual dental stimuli provoke anxiety. This preliminary study aimed to assess the level of aversion to visual stimuli in dental patients and compare it with that in dentists. Patients and Methods A total of 43 dental patients (25 women, 18 men; average age, 29.9 ± 13.3 years; patient group) and 13 dentists (4 women, 9 men; average age, 28.2 ± 2.0 years; dentist group) were included. All participants had previously undergone dental treatment. The dental fear level was assessed using the self-reported Dental Fear Survey (DFS). Thirty-two images associated with dental treatment were prepared and classified into three categories: dental instruments, dental procedures, and the dental environment. All participants rated their level of disgust toward each image on a visual analog scale with scores ranging from 0 to 100. Results In the patient group, the disgust ratings for tooth extraction, dental drilling, and local anesthesia were >60, which were significantly different from those in the dentist group (Mann-Whitney U-test, p<0.001, p=0.001, and p=0.001, respectively). The ranking order of the disgust ratings for the 32 images showed significant correlation between the patient and dentist groups (Spearman correlation coefficient, r=0.80, p<0.001). In the patient group, the disgust ratings for dental impressions and the interdental brush, dental light, and dental chair were significantly correlated with DFS scores (r=0.61, p<0.001; r=0.47, p=0.001; r=0.41, p=0.006; and r=0.40, p=0.008, respectively). Conclusion This study revealed that patients have more negative feelings toward invasive procedures than dentists. However, a significant correlation was identified between the ranking of aversion-provoking dental stimuli by patients and dentists. Furthermore, the level of aversion to several dental-related items that do not cause pain was correlated with the dental fear level.

Abstract
Purpose To compare the dosimetric quality of automatic multiple brain metastases planning (MBM) with that of Cyberknife (CK) based on the clinical tumor condition, such as the tumor number, size, and location. Methods 76 treatment plans for 46 patients treated with CK were recalculated with the MBM treatment planning system. Conformity index (CI), homogeneity index (HI), gradient index (GI), lesion underdosage volume factor (LUF), healthy tissue overdose volume factor (HTOF), geometric conformity index (g) and mean dose to normal organs were compared between CK and MBM for tumor number, size, shape and distance from the brainstem or chiasm. Results The results showed that the mean brain dose was significantly smaller in MBM than CK. CI did not differ between MBM and CK; however, HI was significantly more ideal in CK (p = 0.000), and GI was significantly smaller in MBM (P = 0.000). LUF was larger in CK (p = 0.000) and HTOF and g was larger in MBM (p = 0.003, and 0.012). For single metastases, CK had significantly better HTOF (p = 0.000) and g (p = 0.002), but there were no differences for multiple tumors. Brain dose in MBM was significantly lower and CI was higher for tumors < 30 mm (p = 0.000 and 0.000), whereas HTOF and g for tumors < 10 mm were significantly smaller in CK (p = 0.041 and p = 0.016). Among oval tumors, brain dose, GI and LUF were smaller in MBM, but HTOF and g were smaller in CK. There were no particular trends for tumors close to the brainstem, but HTOF tended to be smaller in CK (0.03 vs. 0.29, p = 0.068) for tumors inside the brainstem. Conclusions MBM can reduce the brain dose while achieving a dose distribution quality equivalent to that with CK.

Abstract
PURPOSE During the last decade, the incidence of anaerobic bacteremia (AB) has been increasing. Patients with AB may develop complex underlying diseases, which can occasionally be accompanied by fatal or fulminant outcomes. However, the risk factors for AB-related mortality remain unclear. Herein, we sought to elucidate the risk factors for AB-related mortality. METHODS In this multicenter, retrospective, observational study, we enrolled patients with culture-proven AB from six tertiary hospitals in Japan, between January 2012 and December 2021. Data on patient and infection characteristics, laboratory findings, treatment, and outcome were collected, and their associations with mortality were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 520 participants were included. The 30-day mortality in the study cohort was 14.0% (73 patients), and malignant tumors were frequently observed comorbidities in 48% of the entire cohort. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed a Charlson comorbidity score of > 6, serum creatinine level of > 1.17 mg/dL, and hypotension to be independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in AB (odds ratios [ORs] 2.12, 2.25, and 5.12, respectively; p < 0.05), whereas drainage significantly reduced this risk (OR, 0.28; p < 0.0001). Twelve patients (2.3% of the whole cohort and 16.4% of the deceased patients) presented with extremely rapid progression leading to fatal outcome, consistent with "fulminant AB." CONCLUSIONS This study identified acute circulatory dysfunction and performance of drainage as independent predictive factors for 30-day AB-related mortality and revealed the existence of a fulminant AB sub-phenotype. Our findings could serve as a practical guide to predict the clinical outcomes of AB.

Abstract
Glycogen serves as a metabolic sink in cyanobacteria. Glycogen deficiency causes the extracellular release of distinctive metabolites such as pyruvate and 2-oxoglutarate upon nitrogen depletion; however, the mechanism has not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of carbon partitioning in glycogen-deficient cyanobacteria. Extracellular and intracellular metabolites in a glycogen-deficient ΔglgC mutant of Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 were comprehensively analyzed. In the presence of a nitrogen source, the ΔglgC mutant released extracellular glutamate rather than pyruvate and 2-oxoglutarate, whereas its intracellular glutamate level was lower than that in the wild-type strain. The de novo synthesis of glutamate increased in the ΔglgC mutant, suggesting that glycogen deficiency enhanced carbon partitioning into glutamate and extracellular excretion through an unidentified transport system. This study proposes a model in which glutamate serves as the prime extracellular metabolic sink alternative to glycogen when nitrogen is available.

Abstract
Dental drilling sounds can induce anxiety in some patients. This study aimed to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess the relationship between dental fear and auditory stimuli. Thirty-four right-handed individuals (21 women and 13 men; average age, 31.2 years) were selected. The level of dental fear was assessed using the dental fear survey (DFS). Based on a threshold DFS score > 52, participants were categorized into two groups: dental fear (DF) group (n = 12) and control group (n = 22). Two types of stimuli were presented in a single session: dental and neutral sounds. Cerebral activation during the presentation of these sounds was evaluated using contrast-enhanced blood oxygenation level-dependent fMRI. In the DF group, dental sounds induced significantly stronger activation in the left inferior frontal gyrus and left caudate nucleus (one-sample t test, P < 0.001). In contrast, in the control group, significantly stronger activation was observed in the bilateral Heschl's gyri and left middle frontal gyrus (one-sample t test, P < 0.001). Additionally, a two-sample t test revealed that dental sounds induced a significantly stronger activation in the left caudate nucleus in the DF group than in the control group (P < 0.005). These findings suggest that the cerebral activation pattern in individuals with DF differs from that in controls. Increased activation of subcortical regions may be associated with sound memory during dental treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sensitive gag reflexes prevent dental patients from receiving appropriate treatment. Aromatherapy helps patients relax during dental procedures. However, the effect of aromatherapy on the gag reflex caused by the stimulation of the oral cavity is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate whether aromatherapy reduces gag reflexes during oral stimulation. METHODS In this randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind, crossover study, the gag reflexes of 24 healthy individuals (12 females and 12 males; mean age: 34.3 ± 9.5 years) were quantified. A standard saliva ejector was slowly guided down the participant's throat to determine the maximum tolerance of the gag reflex, and the insertion distance was measured to quantify the gag reflex. All individuals participated in an aromatherapy session with peppermint essential oil and a placebo session with distilled water. The gag reflex was quantified before (baseline) and after each session. Another measurement was performed using nitrous oxide/oxygen inhalation as a positive control. RESULTS Gag reflex values significantly increased after aromatherapy with both peppermint essential oil and placebo compared to baseline values (paired t-test, P < 0.001 and P = 0.014, respectively). The gag reflex value also increased significantly during nitrous oxide/oxygen inhalation (paired t-test, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the increase rate of gag reflex values between the positive control and aromatherapy interventions, but it was significantly lower after the placebo intervention (repeated measures analysis of variance, P = 0.003; post-hoc test, P = 0.83 and P = 0.02). CONCLUSION Aromatherapy with peppermint essential oil has the potential for reducing gag reflex during dental procedures. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered in the University hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials Registry under the code UMIN000050616 (approved 17/03/2023).

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

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

Abstract
The cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 accumulates alarmone guanosine tetraphosphate (ppGpp) under stress conditions, such as darkness. A previous study observed that artificial ppGpp accumulation under photosynthetic conditions led to the downregulation of genes involved in the nitrogen assimilation system, which is activated by the global nitrogen regulator NtcA, suggesting that ppGpp regulates NtcA activity. However, the details of this mechanism have not been elucidated. Here, we investigate the metabolic responses associated with ppGpp accumulation by heterologous expression of the ppGpp synthetase RelQ. The pool size of 2-oxoglutarate (2-OG), which activates NtcA, is significantly decreased upon ppGpp accumulation. De novo 13C-labeled CO2 assimilation into the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle and glycolytic intermediates continues irrespective of ppGpp accumulation, whereas the labeling of 2-OG is significantly decreased under ppGpp accumulation. The low 2-OG levels in the RelQ overexpression cells could be because of the inhibition of metabolic enzymes, including aconitase, which are responsible for 2-OG biosynthesis. We propose a metabolic rearrangement by ppGpp accumulation, which negatively regulates 2-OG levels to maintain carbon and nitrogen balance.

Abstract
Background Frailty increases the risk of falling, hospitalization, and premature death, necessitating practical early-detection tools. Objectives To examine the discriminative ability of KinectTM-based stepping parameters for identifying frailty phenotype. Design Population-based cross-sectional study. Setting Eighteen neighborhoods near Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Itabashi, Tokyo, Japan. Participants In total, 563 community-dwelling older adults aged ≥75 years without mobility limitations, neurological disease, or dementia were included. Measurements Step number (SN) and knee total movement distance (KMD) during a 20-s stepping test were evaluated using the KinectTM infrared depth sensor. Results The number (%) of participants with frailty were 51 (9.1). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (95% confidence interval) of a parameter consisting of SN and KMD for frailty was 0.72 (0.64, 0.79). Conclusions Stepping parameters evaluated using KinectTM provided acceptable ability in identifying frailty phenotype, making it a practical screening tool in primary care and home settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyse the microstructural changes of subchondral trabecular bone in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) using multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT). METHODS We retrospectively investigated 76 hips in 50 patients diagnosed with ONFH between 2017 and 2021. Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 comprised hips without ONFH, ONFH without femoral head collapse (FHC), ONFH with mild collapse (<2 mm), and ONFH with severe collapse (>2 mm), respectively. All patients underwent MDCT, and the subchondral trabecular bone microstructure was assessed. Regions of interests were set at the lateral boundary of the femoral head necrotic lesion and centre of the acetabular weight-bearing portion. RESULTS In both the femoral head and the acetabular regions, there were significant differences in Groups 2 and 3 compared to Group 1, with increased volumetric bone mineral density and apparent bone volume fraction, and more plate-like with increased connectivity, indicating that osteosclerotic changes were occurring. CONCLUSIONS In both the femoral head and the acetabular regions, osteosclerotic changes of subchondral trabecular bone microstructure were present before FHC.

Abstract
Japan has implemented a cluster-based approach for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) from the pandemic's beginning based on the transmission heterogeneity (overdispersion) of severe acute respiratory coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, studies analyzing overdispersion of transmission among new variants of concerns (VOCs), especially for Omicron, were limited. Thus, we aimed to clarify how the transmission heterogeneity has changed with the emergence of VOCs (Alpha, Delta, and Omicron) using detailed contact tracing data in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. We estimated the time-varying dispersion parameter ([Formula: see text]) by fitting a negative binomial distribution for each transmission generation. Our results showed that even after the emergence of VOCs, there was transmission heterogeneity of SARS-CoV-2, with changes in [Formula: see text] during each wave. Continuous monitoring of transmission dynamics is vital for implementing appropriate measures. However, a feasible and sustainable epidemiological analysis system should be established to make this possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microfracture (MF) is frequently performed as a first-line treatment for articular cartilage defects. Although good clinical outcomes are often obtained in the short term, poor clinical outcomes sometimes occur because of subchondral bone deterioration. The condition of the subchondral bone treated with MF may affect the repair of the osteochondral unit. PURPOSE To analyze histological findings of the osteochondral unit after performing MF on subchondral bone in different states-normal, absorption, and sclerosis-in a rat model. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS Full-thickness cartilage defects (5.0 × 3.0 mm) were created in the weightbearing area of the medial femoral condyle in both knees of 47 Sprague-Dawley rats. Five MF holes were created within the cartilage defect using a 0.55-mm needle to a depth of 1 mm at 0 weeks (normal group), 2 weeks (absorption group), and 4 weeks (sclerosis group) after the cartilage defect was created. In the left knee, MF holes were filled with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). At 2 and 4 weeks after MF, knee joints were harvested and histologically analyzed. RESULTS MF holes were enlarged at 2 weeks and further enlarged at 4 weeks in all groups. In the absorption group, osteoclast accumulation around the MF holes and cyst formation were observed. The trabecular bone surrounding the MF holes was thickened in the sclerosis group. The diameter of the MF hole was largest in the absorption group at 2 and 4 weeks after MF compared with the other groups. No subchondral bone cysts were observed after β-TCP implantation. Pineda scores in all groups were significantly better with β-TCP implantation than without β-TCP implantation at 2 and 4 weeks. CONCLUSION MF for subchondral bone with bone absorption induced enlargement of the MF holes, cyst formation, and delay of cartilage defect coverage. Implantation of β-TCP into the MF holes enhanced remodeling of the MF holes and improved repair of the osteochondral unit compared with MF only. Therefore, the condition of the subchondral bone treated with MF affects repair of the osteochondral unit in a cartilage defect.

Abstract
Recently, we reported a circular cell culture (CCC) system using microalgae and animal muscle cells for sustainable culture food production. However, lactate accumulation excreted by animal cells in the system characterized by medium reuse was a huge problem. To solve the problem, as an advanced CCC, we used a lactate-assimilating cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002, using gene-recombination technology that synthesises pyruvate from lactate. We found that the cyanobacteria and animal cells mutually exchanged substances via their waste media: (i) cyanobacteria used lactate and ammonia excreted by animal muscle cells, and (ii) the animal cells used pyruvate and some amino acids excreted by the cyanobacteria. Because of this, animal muscle C2C12 cells were amplified efficiently without animal serum in cyanobacterial culture waste medium in two cycles (first cycle: 3.6-fold; second cycle: 3.9-fold/three days-cultivation) using the same reuse medium. We believe that this advanced CCC system will solve the problem of lactate accumulation in cell culture and lead to efficient cultured food production.

Abstract
Introduction Oral dysesthesia is a disease characterized by pain and/or abnormal sensations in the oral region, without any organic abnormality. Its symptoms include pain, and it is considered to be a disorder associated with idiopathic oral-facial pain. It is also known that idiopathic oral-facial pain tends to coexist with chronic musculoskeletal pain, including low back pain, even before its onset. Such coexisting idiopathic pain conditions are also called chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs). In general, COPCs are often refractory to treatment. Recently, it has been reported that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is associated with many COPCs, such as pain in the facial and lower back regions and so on. However, there are no reports of (1) ADHD as a comorbidity with oral dysesthesia (OD) or (2) of the therapeutic effects of ADHD medications or dopamine agonists on low back pain and OD or an (3) evaluation of cerebral blood flow over time after treatment with these medications for OD and low back pain. Case Presentation In this study, we report the case of an 80-year-old man with OD and chronic low back pain that persisted for more than 25 years. His OD and chronic back pain were refractory to standard treatment, prevented him from continuing work, and tended to be exacerbated by conflicts in his relationship with his son. In recent years, ADHD has often been found to be comorbid with chronic pain, and ADHD medications have been reported to improve chronic pain as well. The patient was confirmed to have undiagnosed ADHD and was treated with the ADHD medication atomoxetine and dopamine agonist pramipexole, which dramatically improved his OD, chronic back pain, and cognitive function. Furthermore, along the course of treatment, there was improvement in cerebral blood flow in his prefrontal cortex, which was thought to reflect improved function in the region. Consequently, he was able to resume work and improve his family relationships. Conclusion Therefore, in the cases of ODs and COPCs, screening for ADHD and, if ADHD is diagnosed, ADHD medications or dopamine agonists may be considered.

Abstract
Key Clinical Message Persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may coexist and can be improved with ADHD medications. Thus, clinicians should screen for ADHD by a multidisciplinary approach when treating PIFP and differentiate between other odontogenic disorders. Abstract We report a case of a woman with persistent idiopathic facial pain (PIFP) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) that markedly improved with the administration of a combination of aripiprazole (APZ) and methylphenidate (MP) treatment. Screening for ADHD and administration of APZ and/or MP may be considered in treating PIFP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Articular cartilage defect causes joint pain and finally progresses to osteoarthritis. Although the subchondral bone condition affects clinical outcomes of cartilage defects, the natural course of changes in subchondral bone and associated pain in full-thickness cartilage defects remain unknown. Therefore, we investigated the natural course of histological changes in subchondral bone and joint pain in cartilage defects using a rat model. DESIGN Full-thickness cartilage defects were created at the medial femoral condyle of 10-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were sacrificed at 3, 7, 14, 28, and 56 days postoperatively, and histological including immunohistochemistry and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and micro-computed tomography (μCT) analyses of their knees were performed. Pain was evaluated using behavioral analysis and immunofluorescence staining of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG). RESULTS The contour of the subchondral bone plate was maintained until day 3, but it was absorbed just under the cartilage defect from day 7 to 14. Starting on day 28, sclerotic changes surrounding the bone absorption area were detected. In the subchondral bone, the number of TRAP-positive cells peaked on day 14. Osteocalcin-positive cells were observed at 7 days, and their number gradually increased till day 56. Behavioral analysis showed that the total distance and the number of getting up by hind legs decreased on day 14. The number of calcitonin gene-related peptide-positive fibers in the DRG increased and was the highest on day 14. CONCLUSIONS The subchondral bone condition under cartilage defects dynamically changes from bone resorption to sclerosis and is related to pain level.

Abstract
C4 plants supply concentrated CO2 to bundle sheath (BS) cells, improving photosynthetic efficiency by suppressing photorespiration. Mesophyll chloroplasts in C4 plants are redistributed toward the sides of the BS cells (aggregative movement) in response to environmental stresses under light. Although this chloroplast movement is common in C4 plants, the significance and mechanisms underlying the aggregative movement remain unknown. Under environmental stresses, such as drought and salt, CO2 uptake from the atmosphere is suppressed by closing stomata to prevent water loss. We hypothesized that CO2 limitation may induce the chloroplast aggregative movement. In this study, the mesophyll chloroplast arrangement in a leaf of finger millet, an NAD-malic enzyme type C4 plant, was examined under different CO2 concentrations and light conditions. CO2 limitation around the leaves promoted the aggregative movement, but the aggregative movement was not suppressed, even at the higher CO2 concentration than in the atmosphere, under high intensity blue light. In addition, mesophyll chloroplasts did not change their arrangement under darkness or red light. From these results, it can be concluded that CO2 limitation is not a direct inducer of the aggregative movement but would be a promoting factor of the movement under high intensity blue light.

Abstract
L-Lactate is a major waste compound in cultured animal cells. To develop a sustainable animal cell culture system, we aimed to study the consumption of L-lactate using a photosynthetic microorganism. As genes involved in L-lactate utilization were not found in most cyanobacteria and microalgae, we introduced the NAD-independent L-lactate dehydrogenase gene from Escherichia coli (lldD) into Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002. The lldD-expressing strain consumed L-lactate added to basal medium. This consumption was accelerated by expression of a lactate permease gene from E. coli (lldP) and an increase in culture temperature. Intracellular levels of acetyl-CoA, citrate, 2-oxoglutarate, succinate, and malate, and extracellular levels of 2-oxoglutarate, succinate, and malate, increased during L-lactate utilization, suggesting that the metabolic flux from L-lactate was distributed toward the tricarboxylic acid cycle. This study provides a perspective on L-lactate treatment by photosynthetic microorganisms, which would increase the feasibility of animal cell culture industries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the relationships among hip instability, pain, and morphology of the iliofemoral ligament (ILFL) in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) using ultrasonography (US). METHODS We reviewed 86 patients (109 hips) with DDH (Group D), 40 patients (46 hips) with borderline hip dysplasia (BDDH) (Group B) and 20 patients (23 hips) without hip pain and bony abnormality (control group). Group D was classified into three subgroups-the severe (group SP), moderate (group MP), and none/mild (group NMP) hip pain groups-using the visual analogue scale (VAS). For evaluating hip instability and ILFL morphology, the distance between the anterior edge of the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) and the horizontal line to the femoral head, and ILFL thickness were measured using US. The difference between the distance in the neutral position and Patrick position was calculated and defined as the femoral head translation distance (FTD). RESULTS FTD and ILFL thickness in group D were significantly larger than those in the control group and group B (P < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between FTD and ILFL thickness in three groups (r = 0.57, P < 0.05; r = 0.55, P < 0.05; r = 0.62, P < 0.05, respectively). FTD and ILFL thickness in group SP were significantly larger than those in group NMP (P < 0.05). FTD and ILFL thickness in group D had significantly negative correlations with the lateral center edge (r = -0.54, P < 0.05; r = -0.40, P < 0.05, respectively) and vertical-center-anterior angle (r = -0.51, P < 0.05; r = -0.43, P < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Acetabular bony deficiency, especially in the anterior and lateral region can result in antero-posterior hip instability, leading to thickened ILFL and hip pain, even in patients with BDDH. These findings may facilitate our understanding and treatment of patients with DDH. When hip instability is suspected, hip US examination may help confirm the diagnosis and assist in providing objective clinical diagnostic evidence.

Abstract
While previous studies have examined antecedents and outcomes of work engagement among general nurses, studies among psychiatric nurses remain limited. This study aimed to explore the antecedents (i.e., job crafting and nursing practice environment) and outcomes (i.e., strength-oriented care attitudes, mental health, and turnover intention) of work engagement among psychiatric nurses in Japan. This cross-sectional study included 309 nurses from three psychiatric hospitals in Japan (valid response rate: 60.4%). Data collection using the self-administered questionnaire took place from July to August 2021. We performed Structural Equation Modeling to examine the directional relationships among variables. Job crafting (β = 0.57, p < 0.01) and nursing practice environment (β = 0.23, p = 0.01) exhibited positive effects on work engagement. Work engagement had positive effects on strength-oriented care attitudes (β = 0.15, p = 0.04) and mental health (β = 0.37, p < 0.01) as well as negative effects on intention to resign from their profession as a nurse (β = -0.17, p = 0.01). Job crafting and a healthier nursing practice environment could help enhance work engagement. Higher work engagement could contribute to improving strength-oriented care attitudes, mental health, and intention to resign from their profession as a nurse.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral offset and anteversion have been reported to affect the incidence of dislocation following bipolar hemiarthroplasty, although the magnitudes of contributions of the femoral offset and stem anteversion on dislocation, both singly and in combination is not fully understood. METHODS Using the CT data of 61 patients (61 hips), including 30 male and 31 female who underwent bipolar hemiarthroplasty, three-dimensional dynamic motion analysis was performed using a modular implant that enabled adjustment of femoral offset and stem anteversion independently. The pattern of impingement and relationship between femoral offset/stem anteversion and range of motion were evaluated using the software. FINDINGS We found that a higher femoral offset and stem anteversion correlate with a greater range of motion of flexion and internal rotation. Furthermore, an increased femoral offset has a great effect on increasing range of motion of flexion than stem anteversion, and increased both femoral offset and stem anteversion have fewer effect on the flexion, whereas increasing stem anteversion has a great impact on internal rotation than offset, especially in the case with lower femoral anteversion. However, a higher stem anteversion decrease the range of motion of external rotation, whereas a higher femoral offset leads to an increased range of motion of external rotation. INTERPRETATION We demonstrated that both a higher femoral offset and stem anteversion substantially affected the range of motion in flexion, internal rotation and external rotation. However, these are not independent, but rather mutually confounding, the surgeons should consider retaining femoral/anterior offset in bipolar hemiarthroplasty.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In clinical practice, we often encounter the patients with sarcoidosis showing relatively high in the normal range of serum angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) value.
Purpose
We aimed to examine the serum ACE value of the patients with sarcoidosis and determine the new cut-off value for detecting the patients with sarcoidosis.
Methods and results
We retrospectively examined all 3781 subjects (51.1% men, 60.1±17.0 y.o.) in whom ACE was measured for any reasons including suspected sarcoidosis between 2009 and 2020 in our hospital. Of 293 patients with sarcoidosis, 101, 212, 84, and 88 were diagnosed as sarcoidosis in heart, lung, skin, and eyes, respectively. After excluding 477 patients taking ACE inhibitor and/or immunosuppression agent or those with any diseases affecting serum ACE levels, we analyzed 3304 subjects including 215 with sarcoidosis. Serum ACEs were 19.6 IU/L [IQR, 15.1–31.5] in the subjects with sarcoidosis and 10.7 [8.4–16.5] in those without (P<0.01). In ROC curve analysis of ACE for diagnosis of sarcoidosis, the cut-off point was 14.7 IU/L and the AUC was 0.865. When we used the current cut-off of 21.4 or new cut-off value of 14.7, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy were shown in Table. Finally, they were divided into four groups based on the presence of cardiac and/or extra cardiac sarcoidosis, ACE values in Group A, B, C, and D were 17.9, 20.9, 18.6, and 10.7, respectively (Figure 1).
Conclusion(s)
In the current cut-off value of serum ACE, sensitivity for detecting sarcoidosis was comparatively low, though positive predictive value was low when the new-cut-off value was used in our study. Further examinations may be needed for the patients suspected sarcoidosis with relatively high ACE in the normal range.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent studies have described a novel left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI), which had a better prognostic value than individual left atrial (LA) or left ventricular (LV) parameters measured separately to predict cardiovascular events.
Purpose
To identify the determinants of the LACI and its 10-year annual change (ΔLACI), measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), and to better understand the parameters governing this left atrioventricular coupling.
Methods
In the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), 2,112 study participants, free of cardiovascular disease at baseline, had LACI assessed by CMR imaging at baseline (LACIBaseline, 2000–2002) and 10 years later (2010–2012). The LACI was defined as the ratio of LA to LV end-diastolic volumes. Linear regression analyses were performed to identify independent determinants of LACIBaseline or ΔLACI.
Results
In the 2,112 participants (58.8±9.1 years, 46.6% male), after adjustment for all covariates, age was independently associated with both LACIBaseline (R2=0.10, slope=0.16) and ΔLACI (R2=0.15, slope=0.008, both p<0.001). African Americans had the highest LACIBaseline value (18.0±7.7%). Although there was no difference in LACIBaseline between women and men (p=0.19), ΔLACI was higher in women than in men (1.0±1.1 vs. 0.8±1.0%/year, p<0.001). Diabetes and a higher BMI were independently associated with LACIBaseline (both p<0.001). LACIBaseline was independently associated with LV myocardial fibrosis markers (native T1: R2=0.11, slope = 0.09, p=0.038; and extra-cellular volume: R2=0.08, slope = 0.28, p=0.035) and NT-proBNP levels (R2=0.10, slope = −1.11, p<0.001) but was not associated with IL-6 or hsCRP.
Conclusions
Age, sex, ethnicity, diabetes, and BMI were independent determinants of LACI. LACI was independently associated with LV myocardial fibrosis markers and NT-proBNP levels.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Endogenous sex hormones associated with both the left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) structures in peri-menopausal women, but the association of menopause status with left atrioventricular coupling is not well established.
Purpose
To assess the prognostic value of a left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) in pre- and post-menopausal women without a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at baseline in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).
Methods
In women participating in the MESA study, the LACI was measured as the ratio of the left atrial (LA) end-diastolic volume to the left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volume using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between the LACI and the outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), and hard CVD defined by myocardial infarction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, stroke, or coronary heart disease death.
Results
Among the 2,087 women participants (61±10 years), 485 cardiovascular events were observed during the mean follow-up period of 13.2±3.3 years. A higher LACI was independently associated with AF (HR 1.70; 95% CI [1.51–1.90]), HF (HR 1.62; [1.33–1.97]), and hard CVD (HR 1.30; [1.13–1.51], all p<0.001). Adjusted models with the LACI showed significant improvement in model discrimination and reclassification when compared to currently used standard models used to predict the incidence of AF (C-statistic=0.82 vs. 0.79; NRI=0.325; IDI=0.036), HF (C-statistic=0.84 vs. 0.81; NRI=0.571; IDI=0.023), hard CVD (C-statistic=0.78 vs. 0.76; NRI=0.229; IDI=0.012).
Conclusion
In a multi-ethnic population of pre- and post-menopausal women, the LACI is an independent predictor of HF, AF, and hard CVD. In both pre- and post-menopausal women, the LACI has an incremental prognostic value for predicting cardiovascular events over traditional risk factors and sex hormone levels.

Abstract
Background Microalgal lipid production has attracted global attention in next-generation biofuel research. Nitrogen starvation, which drastically suppresses cell growth, is a common and strong trigger for lipid accumulation in microalgae. We previously developed a mutant Chlamydomonas sp. KAC1801, which can accumulate lipids irrespective of the presence or absence of nitrates. This study aimed to develop a feasible strategy for stable and continuous lipid production through semi-continuous culture of KAC1801. Results KAC1801 continuously accumulated > 20% lipid throughout the subculture (five generations) when inoculated with a dry cell weight of 0.8–0.9 g L−1 and cultured in a medium containing 18.7 mM nitrate, whereas the parent strain KOR1 accumulated only 9% lipid. Under these conditions, KAC1801 continuously produced biomass and consumed nitrates. Lipid productivity of 116.9 mg L−1 day−1 was achieved by semi-continuous cultivation of KAC1801, which was 2.3-fold higher than that of KOR1 (50.5 mg L−1 day−1). Metabolome and transcriptome analyses revealed a depression in photosynthesis and activation of nitrogen assimilation in KAC1801, which are the typical phenotypes of microalgae under nitrogen starvation. Conclusions By optimizing nitrate supply and cell density, a one-step cultivation system for Chlamydomonas sp. KAC1801 under nitrate-replete conditions was successfully developed. KAC1801 achieved a lipid productivity comparable to previously reported levels under nitrogen-limiting conditions. In the culture system of this study, metabolome and transcriptome analyses revealed a nitrogen starvation-like response in KAC1801.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psychiatric nurses face various stressors related to nurse-patient relationships, workplace interpersonal relationships and organisational problems, and are required to perform excellent work under stressful situations. As work engagement (a counterconcept of burnout) is a key factor that improves the performance of nurses, clarifying how to improve work engagement is an essential topic among researchers. Although some knowledge has been accumulated on the subject, no reviews have been conducted on the work engagement of psychiatric nurses. To fill the gap, this scoping review will examine the status of research activity on the work engagement of psychiatric nurses and identify related factors, consequently mapping the available research in this area. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The review will be conducted according to established scoping review methodological guidelines. The inclusion criteria will be based on nurses (participants), work engagement (concept), and psychiatric settings (context) without language or date restrictions. Regardless of the methodology or study design, research related to the work engagement of psychiatric nurses will be included. A systematic search will be conducted for MEDLINE, CINAHL and PsycINFO, with the searches being arranged by an information specialist through discussion. The first author will screen all potentially relevant publications, and the second author will independently screen a random sample comprising 10% of the manuscripts. Any disagreement will be resolved by a review team. Data will be extracted using a standardised extraction form, subsequently summarised through quantitative (frequencies) and qualitative analyses (narrative synthesis), and reported in the results of the review. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION As the data will be collected from existing literature, ethical approval is not required. The findings will be disseminated through conference presentations and publication in a peer-reviewed journal. They are expected to help researchers enhance psychiatric nurses' work engagement, consequently contributing to improving their performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the associations between implant alignment/position and patient-reported outcomes following total hip arthroplasty using CT-based simulation software. METHODS We reviewed hips of 137 patients (27 males, 110 females, mean age: 67.3 years old) who underwent total hip arthroplasty. Radiographic evaluations were based on the software for evaluation of the parameters related to implant alignment/position and femoral/3-dimensional offset using post-operative CT data. Pre-operative and one-year post-operative patient-reported outcomes using Japanese Orthopaedic Association Hip Disease Evaluation Questionnaire scores were evaluated. FINDINGS The total and movement scores of normal combined anteversion and stem anteversion angle groups were significantly higher than those of lower and higher groups. The pain and movement scores of decreased femoral offset group were significantly lower than those of restored and increased femoral offset group. There were no significant differences in all scores in cup inclination and anteversion angle, stem coronal alignment, and 3-dimensional femoral offset among groups. Moreover, investigation of the associations between combined anteversion angle/stem anteversion/femoral offset and movement scores revealed that combined anteversion angle and stem anteversion were significantly associated with the movement that needs deep hip flexion and occasionally deep abduction, and high femoral offset was also associated with the movement that needs deep hip flexion. INTERPRETATION Surgeons should consider the stem anteversion, stem sagittal alignment, and combined anteversion, in addition to the femoral offset to achieve patient's post-operative satisfaction, although the surgeon may have a relatively larger choice for the implant positioning, especially on the cup side.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The effect of romosozumab is affected by previous osteoporosis treatment. Here we showed that the duration of the previous treatment just before romosozumab affects the therapeutic effect of romosozumab. Using denosumab and oral bisphosphonates for more than 1 year attenuates the effect of romosozumab. INTRODUCTION As an anti-sclerostin antibody, romosozumab suppresses bone resorption and stimulates bone formation. We investigated whether the effectiveness of 12 months of romosozumab treatment depended on the duration of previous treatment with teriparatide, denosumab, or oral bisphosphonates. METHODS In total, 259 osteoporosis patients received subcutaneous injections of romosozumab (210 mg) every 4 weeks during 2019 and 2020. This study was designed as a pre-post comparison. The end points were the percent changes of bone mineral density (BMD) after 12 months of romosozumab treatment. The patients were divided into seven groups depending on the type and duration of previous treatment before starting romosozumab as follows: non-previous treatment group, change from teriparatide used for 1 year or less/more than 1 year, change from denosumab used for 1 year or less/more than 1 year, and change from oral bisphosphonates used for 1 year or less/more than 1 year. RESULTS The effects of previous treatment with teriparatide on the effectiveness of 12-month romosozumab did not clearly depend on the duration of treatment (p > 0.05). In contrast, the effects of previous treatments with denosumab or oral bisphosphonates on the effectiveness of 12-month romosozumab depended on the previous treatment duration, which was reflected by the differences in percent change of the spine BMD (both p < 0.05), however, there were no significant differences in the percent change of the total hip BMD (both p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The duration of the previous treatment affected the effectiveness of romosozumab. Using denosumab and oral bisphosphonate for more than 1 year attenuated the effect of romosozumab.

Abstract
The mass of the W boson, a mediator of the weak force between elementary particles, is tightly constrained by the symmetries of the standard model of particle physics. The Higgs boson was the last missing component of the model. After observation of the Higgs boson, a measurement of the W boson mass provides a stringent test of the model. We measure the W boson mass, MW, using data corresponding to 8.8 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity collected in proton-antiproton collisions at a 1.96 tera-electron volt center-of-mass energy with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. A sample of approximately 4 million W boson candidates is used to obtain [Formula: see text], the precision of which exceeds that of all previous measurements combined (stat, statistical uncertainty; syst, systematic uncertainty; MeV, mega-electron volts; c, speed of light in a vacuum). This measurement is in significant tension with the standard model expectation.

Abstract
An oil-based pen is widely used as a skin marker for identification of the isocenter and computed tomography (CT)-coordinate origin during radiotherapy. However, use of this pen has some disadvantages, including color loss and color migration. To address these problems, we have developed use of a temporary fashion tattoo (Inkbox) for skin marking. The utility and feasibility of Inkbox as an alternative to an oil-based pen were evaluated in this study. The study included patients from two centers who required skin marking for radiotherapy performed between December 2020 and March 2021. Skin markings were made with an oil-based pen or with Inkbox. The durability was recorded during daily irradiation. Skin markings with Inkbox were made in 32 patients. The total number of skin markings was 94: 64 with Inkbox and 30 with an oil-based pen. A questionnaire survey to evaluate each method was conducted among patients after radiotherapy. The median durations of marking were 16 and 4 days with Inkbox and an oil-based pen, respectively (p-value < 0.001). The survey showed that Inkbox had less impact on the daily lives of patients, including reduced color migration to clothes and less concern about disappearance of the marking. There were no adverse cutaneous side effects with Inkbox. The duration of marking with Inkbox is about 16 days, with little impact on daily life. These findings suggest that Inkbox is a potentially useful method of skin marking in radiotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate evaluation of hip instability is critical for the diagnosis and successful treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). However, dynamic evaluation of hip instability is not well established. This study aimed to use the lateral view from a radiograph to evaluate dynamic antero-posterior hip instability in patients with DDH. METHODS Seventy-four patients (92 hips) with DDH (DDH group) and 46 patients (59 hips) without hip pain and DDH (Control group) were examined. A false profile view (FPV) according to Lequesne was taken at standard and 90° flexion with the hip of interest defined as functional FPV; the translation of the center of the femoral head (CFH) obtained from the functional FPV was measured. As a validation test, we measured the anterior translation of the CFH using ultrasonography (US). RESULTS There was a significant difference between the two groups in the translation of the CFH (p < 0.01). The degree of CFH translation depended on the severity of DDH (lateral center edge angle, r = -0.56, p < 0.01; vertical center anterior margin angle, r = -0.57, p<0.01) and lateralization of the femoral head (head lateralization index, r = 0.54, p < 0.01). There was a significant correlation between functional FPV and US measurements (r = 0.71, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION The present study confirmed that antero-posterior hip instability in DDH patients can be detected using functional FPV. Our novel measurement, as a new method for assessing hip instability, may be useful for evaluating hip dynamic instability in diagnosing the etiology, and determining and evaluating the treatment for DDH at lower cost and improved accessibility.

BACKGROUND
Although endogenous sex hormones influence both left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) structure in peri-menopausal women, no study has ever evaluated the interaction between sex hormones levels and the left atrioventricular coupling.
PURPOSE
This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of a left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) in pre- and post-menopausal women without history of CVD at baseline.
METHODS
In all women participating in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) with baseline cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) study, LACI was measured as the ratio of the LA end-diastolic volume divided by the LV end-diastolic volume. Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between LACI and the outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), coronary heart disease (CHD) death, and hard CVD defined by myocardial infarction, resuscitated cardiac arrest, stroke, or CHD death. In multivariable analyses, the associations between LACI and the time-to-event were evaluated, adjusting for demographics, traditional cardiovascular risk factors, menopausal status and sex hormone levels.
RESULTS
Among the 2,087 women (61.2 ± 10.1 years), 485 cardiovascular events were observed during mean follow-up period of 13.2 ± 3.3 years. Greater LACI was independently associated with AF (HR 1.70; 95% CI [1.51-1.90]), HF (HR 1.62; 95% CI [1.33-1.97]), CHD death (HR 1.36; 95% CI [1.10-1.68]), and hard CVD (1.30; 95% CI [1.13-1.51], all p < 0.001). Adjusted models with LACI showed significant improvement in model discrimination and reclassification compared to currently used standard models to predict the incidences of AF (C-statistic: 0.82 vs. 0.79; NRI = 0.325; IDI = 0.036), HF (C-statistic: 0.84 vs. 0.81; NRI = 0.571; IDI = 0.023), CHD death (C-statistic: 0.87 vs. 0.85; NRI = 0.506; IDI = 0.012), and hard CVD (C-statistic: 0.78 vs. 0.76; NRI = 0.229; IDI = 0.012). The prognostic value of LACI was homogeneous in both pre- and post-menopausal women with a better discrimination and reclassification compared to individual LA or LV parameters.
CONCLUSIONS
In a multi-ethnic population of pre- and post-menopausal women, LACI is an independent predictor of HF, AF, CHD death and hard CVD. In both pre- and post-menopausal women, LACI has an incremental prognostic value to predict cardiovascular events over traditional risk factors and sex hormone levels.

Recent studies have emphasized the incremental prognostic value of a novel left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) and its 10-year annual change (ΔLACI) to predict cardiovascular events. However, no study has investigated the potential determinants of this index.
PURPOSE
To identify the determinants of LACI and ΔLACI, measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), and to better understand the parameters governing this left atrioventricular coupling in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).
METHODS
In the MESA, 2,112 study participants, free of cardiovascular disease at baseline, had LACI assessed by CMR imaging at baseline (LACIBaseline, Exam 1, 2000–2002) and 10 years later (Exam 5, 2010–2012). The LACI was defined as the ratio of left atrium to left ventricular (LV) end-diastolic volumes. Multivariable linear regression analyses were performed, adjusting for traditional risk factors and LV structure, to identify independent determinants of LACIBaseline or ΔLACI.
RESULTS
In the 2,112 participants (mean age 58.8 ± 9.1 years and 46.6% male), after adjustment for all covariates, age was independently associated with both LACIBaseline (R2 = 0.10) and ΔLACI (R2 = 0.15, both p < 0.001). Although there was no difference in LACIBaseline between women and men (p = 0.19), ΔLACI was higher in women than in men (1.0 ± 1.1 vs. 0.8 ± 1.0 %/year, p < 0.001). African Americans had the highest LACIBaseline value (18.0 ± 7.7%) while Chinese Americans had the lowest (13.8 ± 6.4%, p < 0.001). Diabetes and a higher body mass index were independently associated with LACIBaseline (coefficients B: 1.75 and 0.24, respectively, both p < 0.001). LACIBaseline was independently associated with LV myocardial fibrosis markers (native T1: R2 = 0.11, p = 0.038; and extra-cellular volume [ECV]: R2 = 0.08, p = 0.035) and NT-proBNP levels (R2 = 0.10, p < 0.001) but was not associated with inflammation biomarkers.
CONCLUSIONS
In a multi-ethnic population, age, sex, ethnicity, diabetes, and a higher body mass index were independent determinants of LACI. LACI was independently associated with LV myocardial fibrosis markers and NT-proBNP levels but not associated with inflammation biomarkers.

BACKGROUND
Left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) structural and functional parameters have independent prognostic values as predictors of atrial fibrillation (AF).
PURPOSE
To investigate the prognostic value of a left atrioventricular coupling index (LACI) and average annualized change in LACI measured by cardiac MRI to predict incident AF in a population-based sample from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA).
METHODS
In a secondary analysis of the prospective Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) study, 1,911 study participants, free of clinically recognized AF and cardiovascular disease at baseline, had LACI assessed with cardiac MRI at baseline (Exam 1, 2000-2002), and ten years later (Exam 5, 2010-2012). LACI was defined as the ratio of LA to LV end-diastolic volumes. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the associations of LACI and average annualized change in LACI (ΔLACI) with incident AF.
RESULTS
Among the 1,911 participants (mean age 59 ± 9 years and 907 men), 87 incident AF events occurred over 3.9 ± 0.9 years following the second imaging (Exam 5). After adjustment for traditional risk factors, greater LACI and ΔLACI were independently associated with AF (HR 1.69, 95% CI[1.46-1.96] and HR 1.71, 95% CI[1.50-1.94], respectively; both p<.001). Adjusted models for LACI and ΔLACI showed improvement in model discrimination compared to currently used AF risk score (CHARGE-AF score) model (AUC: 0.78 vs. 0.74, and AUC: 0.80 vs. 0.74, both p<.001); and to the final model including individual LA or LV parameters for predicting AF incidence (AUC: 0.78 vs. 0.76, and AUC: 0.80 vs. 0.78, both p<.001).
CONCLUSIONS
Atrioventricular coupling (LACI) and coupling change (ΔLACI) were strong predictors for AF in a multi-ethnic population. Both had incremental prognostic value for predicting AF over traditional risk factors, and superior discrimination compared to the CHARGE-AF score and to individual LA or LV parameters.

Abstract
Rapidly progressive in-stent restenosis (ISR) after stent deployment from the left main trunk (LMT) to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) without plaque at the LMT ostium has not been reported. A 60-year-old Japanese man with a history of scleroderma, pulmonary fibrosis, and type 2 diabetes developed acute myocardial infarction of the right coronary artery (RCA) and was treated by emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for RCA. Nine days later he underwent PCI from the LMT to the LAD. Follow-up coronary angiography (CAG) at 9 and 21 months post-PCI did not reveal ISR in any lesion, but the patient experienced cardiac arrest at 25 months post-PCI. Emergency CAG after resuscitation revealed ISR of the LMT ostium; emergency PCI was conducted. The development of ISR at the ostium of the LMT although the patient was free of plaque 4 months before is extremely unusual. This rare ISR of the LMT ostium progressed rapidly after follow-up CAG revealed no ISR at 21 months post-stent implantation.

Abstract
Metabolomics, an essential tool in modern synthetic biology based on the design-build-test-learn platform, is useful for obtaining a detailed understanding of cellular metabolic mechanisms through comprehensive analyses of the metabolite pool size and its dynamic changes. Metabolomics is critical to the design of a rational metabolic engineering strategy by determining the rate-limiting reaction and assimilated carbon distribution in a biosynthetic pathway of interest. Microalgae and cyanobacteria are promising photosynthetic producers of biofuels and bio-based chemicals, with high potential for developing a bioeconomic society through bio-based carbon neutral manufacturing. Metabolomics technologies optimized for photosynthetic organisms have been developed and utilized in various microalgal and cyanobacterial species. This review provides a concise overview of recent achievements in photosynthetic metabolomics, emphasizing the importance of microalgal and cyanobacterial cell factories that satisfy industrial requirements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has not been investigated in regional cohorts. The aim of this study was to clarify the incidence of PH associated with BPD in all very low birthweight infants (VLBWIs) born during the study period in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. METHODS We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study of all VLBWIs born in Aichi Prefecture. The inclusion criteria were VLB, birth between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2015, and admission to any neonatal intensive care unit in Aichi Prefecture. BPD28d and BPD36w were defined as the need for supplemental oxygen or any respiratory support at 28 days of age or 36 weeks of postmenstrual age (PMA). The primary outcome was the incidence of PH after 36 weeks' PMA (PH36w) in VLBWIs with BPD28d and BPD36w. The secondary outcomes were the clinical factors related to PH36w in BPD36w patients. Mann-Whitney U-test and Fisher's exact test were used for univariate analysis. Differences were considered statistically significant at P < 0.05. Risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were also evaluated. RESULTS A total of 441 patients were analyzed. A total of 217 and 131 patients met the definition of BPD28d and BPD36w, respectively. Nine patients were diagnosed with PH36w (4.2% and 6.9% of the BPD28d and BPD36w patients, respectively). The presence of oligohydramnios (RR, 2.71; 95% CI: 1.55-4.73, P = 0.014) and sepsis (RR, 3.62; 95% CI: 1.51-8.63, P = 0.025) was significant in the PH36w patients. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of PH36w was 4.2% and 6.9% in the BPD28d and BPD36w patients, respectively. Oligohydramnios and sepsis were significantly associated with PH36w in VLBWIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children born late preterm (LP) have an increased risk of poor developmental motor outcomes. AIMS This study aimed to assess physical functions and gait performance in school-aged children born LP. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Physical functions and gait performance were evaluated in 277 children aged 6-10 years born LP (n = 22) and full-term (FT) (n = 255). OUTCOME MEASURES Physical function tests consisted of five times sit-to-stand test (FTSST), one-leg standing time, and grip strength. FTSST was used to assess the functional muscle strength of the lower limbs and dynamic balance function. Gait performance tests included gait quality, spatiotemporal gait parameters, and gait variability. Clinical data, physical functions, and gait performance were compared between two groups. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between all variables and LP birth. RESULTS In physical function tests, children born LP showed poorer FTSST than those born FT (p = 0.039). No significant difference in gait performance tests were identified between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis of FTSST for LP (adjusted for age at assessment) revealed that FTSST was significantly associated with LP birth (p = 0.004, odds ratio = 1.579, 95% confidence interval = 1.160-2.149). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated the physical functions and gait performance in school-aged children born LP. Our findings indicate that it is important to focus on the decreased functional muscle strength of the lower limbs and reduced dynamic balance function related to LP birth to improve functional mobility in children born LP.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the D^{0} and D^{+} lifetimes using D^{0}→K^{-}π^{+} and D^{+}→K^{-}π^{+}π^{+} decays reconstructed in e^{+}e^{-}→cc[over ¯] data recorded by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The data, collected at center-of-mass energies at or near the ϒ(4S) resonance, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 72 fb^{-1}. The results, τ(D^{0})=410.5±1.1(stat)±0.8(syst) fs and τ(D^{+})=1030.4±4.7(stat)±3.1(syst) fs, are the most precise to date and are consistent with previous determinations.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and objective
Living alone is reported as an independent risk factor for worse clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Manifestations of psychological stress such as depression and anxiety in patients living alone is thought to be associated with subsequent cardiovascular events. The impact of living alone on the psychological factors of patients may be differ depending on their living environment. However, comparison of the effects of living alone in different living environment on the prognosis of patients with ACS has not been reported.
Purpose
The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical effect of living alone on clinical outcomes in patients with ACS between urban area and rural area.
Methods
Data from a multi-center, observational study of consecutive patients who underwent emergency PCI for ACS between January 2012 and December 2016 were analyzed. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). MACCE was defined as composite of cardiovascular death, ACS, and stroke.
Results
In this study, 1349 patients were enrolled and divided into two population according to their living environment: urban area population (n=417), and rural area population (n=932). In urban area population, 87 patients (20.9%) were living alone, and 330 (79.1%) were living together. In rural area population, 169 (18.1%) were living alone, and 763 (81.9%) were living together. There are no significant differences in baseline characteristics between the living alone group and the living together group in both urban area population and rural area population. During a median follow-up period of 2.1 years, Kaplan-Meier curves showed the living alone group had higher risk of MACCE than the living together group in urban area population (log-rank, p=0.01). On the other hands, there are no significant differences in the incidences of MACCE between two groups in rural area population (p=0.86). After adjustment for other covariates, the living alone was significantly associated with MACCE (hazard ratio [HR], 2.83; 95% confidential interval [CI], 1.16–6.91; p=0.02) compared with the living together group in urban area population. However, in rural area population, the living alone group was not significantly associated with MACCE (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.66–1.57; p=0.92) compared with the living together group.
Conclusion
Living alone was significantly associated with worse clinical outcomes after emergency PCI of ACS in urban area but not in rural area.

Abstract
Abstract
Background and objective
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with metallic coronary stent (bare-metal stents [BMS] and drug-eluting stents [DES]) implantation is most frequently performed therapeutic procedures for coronary artery disease. In-stent restenosis (ISR) is a critical drawback of metallic coronary stents. Incidence of ISR has been reported in up to 30% after BMS implantation. The use of DES has greatly reduced the proportion of restenosis compared with the BMS. However, ISR still remains the primary concern after PCI even in the contemporary DES era, and thought to be associated with worse clinical outcomes. However, comparative data on ISR and de novo lesions are rare.
Purpose
The aim of the present study was to compare the clinical outcomes after PCI for the de novo lesion and the ISR lesion.
Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent PCI between 2013 and 2020. The incidences of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and all-cause death were evaluated. MACCE was defined as composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, and stroke.
Results
In this study, 1538 patients were enrolled and divided into two groups: PCI for de novo lesion group (n=1258, 81.8%), and PCI for ISR lesion group (n=280, 18.2%). Patients in the ISR lesion group were significantly older and had higher prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and chronic kidney disease than patients in the de novo lesion group. During a median follow-up period of 1.9 years, Kaplan-Meier curves showed no significant differences in the incidences of MACCE (log-rank, p=0.86) and all-cause death (p=0.84) between two groups. After adjustment for other covariates, PCI for ISR lesion were not significantly associated with MACCE (hazard ratio [HR], 1.10; 95% confidential interval [CI], 0.61–1.97; p=0.76) and all-cause death (HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.56–1.56; p=0.79)
Conclusion
PCI for the ISR lesion was not associated with worse clinical outcomes compared with PCI for the de novo lesion.
