Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evaluating muscle quality instead of its mass has gained attention in diagnosing sarcopenia. The aim of this study was to examine whether phase angle (PhA) as a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)-derived muscle quality indicator is associated with overall lower extremity function better than appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS This cross-sectional study used data from the Itabashi Longitudinal Study on Aging, a community-based cohort study. A sex-stratified multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted using PhA and ASMI as exposures, and low physical function defined as short physical performance battery score <10 as the outcome, adjusted for age, being overweight, knee pain, and non-communicable diseases. Discrimination of low physical function was compared using the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS This study included 1464 participants (age 76 [73-80] y; 757 women), with 58 men (8%) and 66 women (9%) exhibiting low physical function. The multivariate odds ratio (OR; 95% confidence interval [CI]) for low physical function among the highest quartile, compared with the lowest quartile were significant in PhA in multiple sites (e.g., OR, 0.09; 95% CI, 0.03-0.32] for men and 0.12; 95% CI, 0.04-0.33 for women in the left leg) but not in ASMI (OR, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.19-1.34 for men and 0.56; 95% CI, 0.21-1.47 for women). Legs and whole-body PhA outperformed the ASMI in discriminating low physical function (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION PhA reflected physical function better than ASMI; using PhA instead of ASMI in BIA-based morphometric evaluation may add information on low physical function and enhance the diagnostic value of sarcopenia.

Abstract
Cleft palate (CP) is one of the most common congenital diseases, and is accompanied by a complicated etiology. Medical exposure in women is among one of the reasons leading to CP. Recently, it has been reported that microRNA (miRNA) plays a crucial role in palate formation and the disruption of miRNA that influence the development of CP. Although association with pharmaceuticals and miRNAs were suggested, it has remained largely unknow. The aim of the current investigation is to elucidate upon the miRNA associated with the inhibition of phenobarbital (PB)-induced cell proliferation in human embryonic palatal mesenchymal (HEPM) cells. We showed that PB inhibited HEPM cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. We demonstrated that PB treatment suppressed cyclin-D1 expression in HEPM cells. Furthermore, PB upregulated let-7c-5p expression and downregulated the expression of two downstream genes (BACH1 and PAX3). Finally, we demonstrated that the let-7c-5p inhibitor alleviated PB-induced inhibition of cell proliferation and altered BACH1 and PAX3 expression levels. These results suggest that PB suppresses cell viability by modulating let-7c-5p expression.

Abstract
Cleft palate (CP) is one of the most common birth defects and is caused by a combination of genetic and/or environmental factors. Environmental factors such as pharmaceutical exposure in pregnant women are known to induce CP. Recently, microRNA (miRNA) was found to be affected by environmental factors. The aim of the present study was to investigate the involvement of miRNA against phenytoin (PHE)-induced inhibition of proliferation in human embryonic palatal mesenchymal (HEPM) cells. We demonstrated that PHE inhibited HEPM cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. We found that treatment with PHE downregulated cyclin-D1 and cyclin-E expressions in HEPM cells. Furthermore, PHE increased miR-4680-3p expression and decreased two downstream genes (ERBB2 and JADE1). Importantly, an miR-4680-3p-specific inhibitor restored HEPM cell proliferation and altered expression of ERBB2 and JADE1 in cells treated with PHE. These results suggest that PHE suppresses cell proliferation via modulation of miR-4680-3p expression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate nutritional status and body composition in cognitively impaired older persons living alone. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 1051 older adults (633 women and 418 men, mean age: 77.1 years) from the Takashimadaira study. The study participants were categorized according to whether they lived alone, which was confirmed via questionnaire, and had cognitive impairment, which was defined as having a Mini Mental State Examination-Japanese score ≤23. Nutritional status was evaluated using the serum albumin level. The fat-free mass index (FFMI) was calculated based on anthropometric and body composition measurements. A logistic regression model with the outcome of a low serum albumin level (serum albumin <4 g/dL) and low FFMI (<16 kg/m2 in men and <14 kg/m2 in women) were used to analyze the data. RESULTS The percentages of participants in the living alone (-)/cognitive impairment (-) group, the living alone (+)/cognitive impairment (-) group, the living alone (-)/cognitive impairment (+) group, and the living alone (+)/cognitive impairment (+) group were 54.8%, 37.3%, 5.6%, and 2.3%, respectively. Compared to the living alone (-)/cognitive impairment (-) group, the living alone (+)/cognitive impairment (+) group was more likely to have a low serum albumin level (adjusted odds ratio = 3.10, 95% confidence interval = 1.31 to 7.33) and low FFMI (adjusted odds ratio = 2.79, 95% confidence interval = 1.10 to 7.06) after adjusting for potential confounders. CONCLUSION Cognitively impaired older adults living alone had poorer nutrition than cognitively normal and cohabitating persons in this study. Our results highlight the importance of paying extra attention to nutritional status for this group of community-dwelling older adults.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Right ventricular (RV) function has an established incremental prognostic value in cardiomyopathy. Studies on cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) primarily focused on the left ventricle (LV), with conflicting results from small studies dedicated to RV dysfunction.
Purpose
We sought to investigate the influence of chemotherapy on RV function relative to LV function using serial cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
Methods
Patients were enrolled as part of Cardiotoxicity Prevention Research Initiative (CAPRI) Registry aimed at evaluating CMR-based markers for surveillance of CTRCD. Patients underwent non-contrast CMR imaging prior to initiation of anthracyclines and/or trastuzumab and serially every 3 months during the first year, then annually thereafter. We included patients who had a baseline and ≥1 follow-up scan and excluded those with baseline LV ejection fraction (EF)<50%, providing 320 patients completing 1,453 CMR studies. Cine images were analysed to calculate chamber volumes indexed to body surface area and EF. We defined LV CTRCD using CMR modality specific criteria of a drop in LV EF ≥5% from baseline to <57%; RV CTRCD as a drop ≥5% to <49% in females and <47% in males. We used linear mixed models to study the changes in ventricular volumes and EF with time.
Results
The majority of patients were females (80%), had breast cancer (68%) or lymphoma (32%), with a mean age of 52.7±13 years. Figure 1 shows temporal changes in mean ventricular volumes and function over the first year. Mean changes in RV function followed those of the LV, with the nadir of EF and maximum of volumes occurring at 6 months. Respective values for mean decrease in LV and RV EF at this time point versus baseline were 4.1 and 2.9% (p<0.001). Concomitant mean increase in indexed RV end-diastolic (ED) and end-systolic (ES) volumes were 1.6 and 2.7 ml/m2 (p=0.2 and <0.001). There was significant interaction of chemotherapy regimen with time for RV volumes (p=0.001 and 0.003), but not RV EF (p=0.7), with worst changes occurring with combined anthracyclines and trastuzumab. In all, 70 (22%) and 28 (9%) patients met criteria for LV and RV CTRCD, respectively. Among those who developed RV CTRCD, 10 had persistently normal LV function. Figure 2 shows the results of logistic regression to predict RV CTRCD. Significant univariable predictors included combined chemotherapy regimen and baseline LV and RV volumes and LV EF. Adjusting for age, sex, and chemotherapy regimen, baseline RV ED volume remained associated with RV CTRCD (odds ratio 1.6; p=0.005).
Conclusion
In this large study, RV volumes and function were similarly influenced by chemotherapy versus comparable LV-based measures. Using similar threshold criteria, the incidence of RV CTRCD was lower than for LV CTRCD; however, one third of those who develop RV CTRCD showed normal LV function. Future studies are warranted to study the prognostic influence of RV injury in cancer patients.

Abstract
AIM To determine the rate of a decreased oral function using questions from the Kihon checklist corresponding to the Questionnaire for Latter-stage Elderly People and to clarify nutrient intake in older persons. METHODS This study targeted 511 older people (217 men, 294 women, average age 73.1±5.6 years old). Their oral function was evaluated using questions on the masticatory function and swallowing function from the Kihon checklist, corresponding to questions on the oral function in the Questionnaire for Latter-stage Elderly People. Participants who had at least one symptom measured were defined as the applicable group (AG). In addition, to evaluate the nutrient intake of the participants, interviews were conducted using the Food Frequency Questionnaire Based on Food Groups. RESULTS The rate of inclusion in the AG was 32.9% for the total sample, 28.2% for early-stage elderly people, and 40.1% for latter-stage elderly people. The AG rates did not differ significantly between men and women. For latter-stage elderly people, the protein-energy ratio and intakes of total energy, protein, pantothenic acid, folic acid, vitamin B6, niacin, vitamin K, copper, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and total dietary fiber were significantly lower in the AG than in the non-AG. CONCLUSION The evaluation of placement in the AG through questions on the oral function from the Kihon checklist corresponding to the Questionnaire for Latter-stage Elderly People demonstrated that the rate of a decreased oral function was higher in latter-stage elderly people than in early-stage elderly people. In addition, the latter-stage elderly people in the AG had a lower nutrient intake.

PURPOSE This cross-sectional study compared gait performance between community-dwelling older adults with and without accumulated deficits in oral health, defined as oral frailty. METHODS A total of 1,082 individuals (439 men and 643 women; mean age, 77.1 years) from the Takashimadaira study were included in the current analysis. Based on a multifaceted oral health assessment, oral frailty was defined as having three or more of the following six components: (i) fewer teeth, (ii) low masticatory performance, (iii) low articulatory oral motor skills, (iv) low tongue pressure, (v) difficulties in eating, and (vi) swallowing. Eight gait parameters were assessed using an electronic walkway. Gait characteristics comparison between groups with and without oral frailty was performed using multiple linear regression models. Models were adjusted for age, sex, educational status, income, smoking, drinking, physical activity level, height, body mass index, comorbidities, and the presence of chronic pain. RESULTS Oral frailty was observed in 227 (21.0%) participants. After adjusting for potential confounders, the participants with oral frailty had slower gait speed, shorter stride and step length, wider step width, and longer double support duration as well as higher variability of stride length and step length. CONCLUSIONS Oral frailty was associated with poor gait performance among community-dwelling older adults.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between objective chewing ability and the nutritional status of Japanese community-dwelling elders. Design: A cross-sectional study. Participants: A total of 509 community-dwelling elders living in the Tokyo metropolitan area participated in a comprehensive survey conducted in October 2013. Measurements: The basic characteristics were sex, age, and body mass index. Undernutrition was examined through serum albumin levels. Chewing ability was examined through color-changeable xylitol gum by evaluating the color changes in chewing gum. Nutritional intake was examined using the semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Results: In the poor chewing ability group, all nutrient intake levels were significantly low, except for carbohydrates, and intake levels for all food groups were significantly low, except for cereals, confectionery, sugars, seasonings, and spices. Additionally, after adjusting for covariates for sex, age, Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology-Index of Competence (TMIG-IC) score, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score, body mass index (BMI), stroke, number of functional teeth, energy intake, and protein intake, chewing ability was found to be significantly associated with undernutrition. Conclusion: We concluded that chewing ability was closely associated with nutrient and different food groups’ intake, as well as undernutrition, among Japanese community-dwelling elders. Thus, to ensure comprehensive nutritional management, nutritionists and dentists should collaborate when treating the same patients.

Abstract
Cleft lip with/without cleft palate (CL/P) is one of the most common congenital birth defects, showing the complexity of both genetic and environmental contributions [e.g., maternal exposure to alcohol, cigarette, and retinoic acid (RA)] in humans. Recent studies suggest that epigenetic factors, including microRNAs (miRs), are altered by various environmental factors. In this study, to investigate whether and how miRs are involved in cleft palate (CP) induced by excessive intake of all-trans RA (atRA), we evaluated top 10 candidate miRs, which were selected through our bioinformatic analyses, in mouse embryonic palatal mesenchymal (MEPM) cells as well as in mouse embryos treated with atRA. Among them, overexpression of miR-27a-3p, miR-27b-3p, and miR-124-3p resulted in the significant reduction of cell proliferation in MEPM cells through the downregulation of CP-associated genes. Notably, we found that excessive atRA upregulated the expression of miR-124-3p, but not of miR-27a-3p and miR-27b-3p, in both in vivo and in vitro. Importantly, treatment with a specific inhibitor for miR-124-3p restored decreased cell proliferation through the normalization of target gene expression in atRA-treated MEPM cells and atRA-exposed mouse embryos, resulting in the rescue of CP in mice. Taken together, our results indicate that atRA causes CP through the induction of miR-124-3p in mice.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Right ventricular (RV) function remains poorly recognized for its value in predicting cardiovascular events at a population level. Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging is the gold standard for RV assessment.
Purpose
To define the independent prognostic value of RVEF for the prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) as primary outcome in patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease.
Methods
Data was obtained from the Cardiovascular Imaging Registry of Calgary (CIROC). Patients underwent standardized CMR imaging protocols and analysis. Clinical events were identified from administrative data.
Results
7,131 patients were included. 870 primary outcome events occurred over 2.5 years follow-up. RVEF provided equivalent predictive utility versus LVEF (Table 1). There was an increase in events with worsening severity of RVEF (Figure 1), with a significant “threshold-effect” at an RVEF of 40%.
Conclusions
RVEF is a strong and independent predictor of MACE at a population level.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity worldwide and impose the highest economic burden among noncommunicable diseases. Much of these costs are related to hospitalizations for adverse cardiovascular events, which may be reduced by targeted management of high-risk patients. Cardiac markers derived from CMR imaging have been shown to be strong independent predictors of prognosis within specific cohorts. However, its capacity to broadly contribute to risk models aimed at predicting incident cardiac hospitalization has not been demonstrated.
Purpose
Using a large clinical outcomes registry of patients clinically referred for CMR, develop and validate a nomogram for prediction of cardiovascular hospital admission.
Methods
A total of 7127 consecutive patients were prospectively recruited between 02/2015 and 07/2019. All patients completed standardized health questionnaires and CMR imaging protocols. A nomogram was developed for prediction of cardiovascular hospitalization, inclusive of admission for heart failure, MI, cardiac arrest, heart transplant, LVAD implantation, or stroke. The risk model was derived from 80% (n=5702) of the cohort using Cox modelling that included CMR, medication, laboratory, and patient-reported health variables. Model validation was assessed by discrimination and calibration procedures applied to the remaining 20% of patients (n=1425). A minimum follow-up of six months was mandated.
Results
The derivation cohort was comprised of 38% females with a median age of 56 (IQR 44–65) years. During a median follow-up of 934 days, 514 (9.0%) events occurred. The validation cohort was similarly comprised of 37% females with a median age of 57 (IQR 44–66) years. During a median follow-up of 970 days, 142 (10.0%) events occurred. Numerous CMR parameters were significantly different between those experiencing versus not experiencing the primary composite outcome, including: LVEF (44% vs 59%, p<0.0001), RVEF (52% vs 55%, p<0.0001), LV mass (65g/m2 vs 56g/m2, p<0.0001), and LA volume (43mL/m2 vs 34mL/m2, p<0.0001). These and other CMR-derived characteristics were independently predictive of the composite outcome by univariate modelling (Figure 1A). An eight-variable nomogram (Figure 1B) was developed using a stepwise multivariate model that exhibited high discrimination in both the derivation and validation cohorts (C-index 0.81 and 0.83, respectively). Continuous model calibration curves indicated satisfactory external performance. The model was able to discriminate risk of hospitalization at 1-year with a dynamic range of 20–99%.
Conclusion
Using data available at time of CMR imaging, we derived and validated a Cox-based nomogram that offers robust prediction of future cardiovascular admissions. This tool may provide value for the identification of patients who may benefit from targeted surveillance and management strategies, and may offer a foundation for improved patient-specific cost modelling.

Abstract
Background:The treatment of rheumatoid hand, which is characterized by thumb deformity, finger deformities, and ulnar drift (UD), is challenging. Its pathophysiology is complex, and a comprehensive understanding of the optimal intervention for this condition requires high technical skill and extensive clinical experience. Moreover, the natural course of rheumatoid hand itself remains unclear.Objectives:This study was performed to comprehensively evaluate rheumatoid hand through the specific parameters of each deformity.Methods:A rheumatoid hand cohort was established in 2004. In total, 134 hands of 67 patients were registered and underwent clinical evaluations. All hands surgically treated during follow-up were excluded from the study, but the contralateral hands were assessed. Evaluations were repeated in 2009 (100 hands of 52 patients) and in 2015 (63 hands of 37 patients) among all available patients. Therefore, among the data obtained from the 3 study endpoints, 297 hands were available for the cross-sectional analysis and 43 hands were available for the longitudinal analysis.Thumb deformities and finger deformities (swan-neck and boutonnière) were semi-quantitated by the Nalebuff classification score, and UD was quantified using a metacarpophalangeal joint condition scoring method1). A two-step cluster analysis was performed with entered parameters, and the distribution of each parameter was considered to clarify the characteristics of each cluster. The hands with different clusters at each endpoint were recruited for the following longitudinal analysis. The natural course of rheumatoid hand was considered based on the cluster change.Results:Seven clusters were used in this study to emphasize the impact of thumb deformity on function. The characteristics of each cluster were as follows. Cluster 1: mild finger deformities and various severities of UD; Cluster 2: type 1 thumb deformity and various severities of UD; Cluster 3: type 2 thumb deformity and severe UD; Cluster 4: type 3 or 4 thumb deformity, low or moderate level of swan-neck deformity, and various severities of UD; Cluster 5: various types of thumb deformity, severe boutonnière deformity, and various severities of UD; Cluster 6: type 1 thumb deformity, severe swan-neck deformity, and various severities of UD; and Cluster 7: type 6 thumb deformity.The longitudinal analysis showed that Cluster 1 mainly changed to Cluster 2 or 4, indicating progression of thumb deformity. Cluster 2 changed to Cluster 3, indicating that thumb type 1 progressed to type 2 (Figure 1). When the affected period was shorter than 10 years, the incidence of severe hand deformity (including two or more affected joint areas and low hand function) was <10%. In contrast, when the affected period was longer than 10 years, the incidence of severe hand deformity was >30% (Figure 2).Figure 1.Figure 2.Conclusion:This study suggests the presence of seven patterns of deformity enabling a comprehensive understanding of rheumatoid hand. Furthermore, the results of the longitudinal analysis suggest a natural course of rheumatoid hand progression. Therefore, from the distribution of parameters of each deformity and its severity, rheumatologists can easily classify rheumatoid hand and determine its pathophysiology to choose the most effective intervention.References:[1]Toyama S, Oda R, Tokunaga D et al.

Abstract
Background:Sarcopenia is a progressive systemic skeletal muscle disorder associated with an increased likelihood of adverse outcomes including physical disability, falls, and mortality. The muscle mass of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is lower than that of age-matched healthy individuals, and a high prevalence rate of sarcopenia has been reported1). In particular, foot deformities may increase the prevalence rate of sarcopenia because of inactivity due to foot pain on walking. Treatment with a foot orthosis (FO) can reportedly reduce pain2); however, whether a FO can resolve inactivity and sarcopenia is unclear.Objectives:To elucidate the effectiveness of a FO on physical activity and sarcopenia in patients with RA.Methods:Thirty patients with RA with foot deformities were enrolled from April 2017 to December 2019. Sarcopenia was diagnosed using the algorithm of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People, and the cut-off values of the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia were applied. We also collected the clinical variables of patients with concurrent RA and sarcopenia who continued to use a FO for 6 months. The primary outcome was physical activity determined by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The secondary outcomes were foot pain measured with a visual analog scale; activities of daily living (ADL) measured with the Health Assessment Questionnaire; and body mass index, body fat percentage, and the skeletal muscle mass index measured with a body composition device. The clinical variables were compared between baseline and 6 months after continuous treatment with a FO.Results:The prevalence rate of sarcopenia was 76.6% (23/30), and nine patients with RA continued to use the FO for 6 months. Table 1 shows outcomes at baseline and after 6 months of treatment with a FO. The only clinical variable that showed a significant difference was foot pain. Physical activities, ADL, and body compositions were maintained after 6 months.Table 1.Outcomes of 6-month treatment with FOBaseline6 monthsp valuePhysical activityIPAQWalking, MET-min/weekModerate, MET-min/weekVigorous, MET-min/week132 (66, 594)0 (0, 0)0 (0, 0)594 (396, 2376)0 (0, 0)0 (0, 0)0.071.000.32Foot painVAS score4.6 (3.1, 7.4)2.8 (1.1, 4.7)0.02ADLHAQ1.5 (1.1, 2.3)1.1 (0.9, 1.5)0.07Body compositionBMI, kg/m2BFP, %SMI, kg/m221.4 (20.7, 22.7)31.1 (24.2, 37.6)5.2 (4.8, 5.3)20.7 (19.3, 22.1)32.9 (26.3, 36.5)5.2 (5.0, 5.2)0.890.820.61IPAQ: International Physical Activity Questionnaire, VAS: visual analog scale, ADL: activities of daily living, HAQ: Health Assessment Questionnaire, BMI: body mass index, BFP: body fat percentage, SMI: skeletal muscle mass indexData are presented as median (lower quartile, upper quartile)Conclusion:The prevalence rate of sarcopenia in patients with RA with foot deformities was much higher than previous reported1). However, 6 months of treatment with a FO not only reduced foot pain but also maintained physical activity and muscle mass. Physical therapy has recently been recommended for patients with inflammatory arthritis. physical activity and muscle mass of patients with RA and concurrent foot deformities may be increased by combining physical therapy with orthotic treatment.References:[1]Tada M, et al.

Abstract
Background
Standardized patient phenotyping using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has been shown to be of clinical value for prediction of adverse events in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Studies have validated the prognostic capacity of function (LV, RV and LA) and replacement fibrosis burden in patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. The translation and validation of routine CMR-based phenotyping into clinical practice has yet to be demonstrated in prospective studies.
Purpose
This study was designed to explore feasibility and prognostic value of routine CMR-based patient phenotyping in a high-volume clinical referral center for patients with HFrEF.
Methods
One thousand three hundred and ninety-three consecutive patients with chronic HFrEF were prospectively recruited between January 2015 and June 2018. Chronic HFrEF was defined by LVEF≤50% by CMR, with no recent (within 90 days) acute myocardial infarction or myocarditis diagnosis. Patients with congenital heart disease and those without LGE CMR protocol were excluded. All patients underwent standardized CMR protocols with multi-chamber volumetric analysis and regional myocardial fibrosis coding. Pharmacy, ECG, laboratory and patient reported data was used for statistical modelling. A minimum three-month follow-up was mandated to identify the composite clinical outcome of heart failure hospitalization or death.
Results
The cohort had a median age of 61 years with 23% being female. The median follow-up was 737 days with 146 patients (10.5%) experiencing the composite outcome. Numerous imaging and non-imaging variables were significantly different between patients with and without the composite outcome, including: median LVEF (32% vs 39%, p<0.0001), RVEF (46% vs 51% p<0.0001), LV mass (77g/m2 vs. 65g/m2, p<0.0001), digoxin (19% vs. 9%, p<0.0001) and diuretic (63% vs 41%, p<0.0001) use. Presence of replacement fibrosis (HR=2.09, p=0.001), particularly midwall striae (HR=2.01, p<0.0001), diffuse (HR=3.88, p<0.0001) and RV insertion site fibrosis (HR=1.54, p=0.022) patterns, were significantly associated with the combined endpoint. A stepwise multivariable model was applied using all eligible variables and resulted in robust accuracy for prediction of the combined outcome with a concordance index of 0.751 (Figure 1).
Conclusions
This study demonstrates the feasibility and prognostic value of automated patient phenotyping that captures patient reported data, imaging, and administrative data for risk prediction modelling in HFrEF. The incremental application of machine learning is being explored.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) imaging is a reference standard technique for the differentiation of ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) from non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). 3D myocardial deformation analysis (3D-MDA) offers highly reproducible phenotypic assessments of regional architecture and function that may provide value for artificial-intelligence-assisted cardiomyopathy diagnosis without need for LGE imaging.
Purpose
In this study, we trained and validated a machine-learning-based model to enable automated diagnosis of ischemic versus non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy exclusively using regional patterns of deformation among patients otherwise matched by age, sex and global contractile dysfunction.
Methods
100 ICM and 100 NIDCM patients matched for age, sex, and LVEF underwent standard cine SSFP and LGE imaging. Patient diagnoses were established using a combination of clinical and LGE-based criteria. 3D-MDA was performed using validated software (GIUSEPPE) to compute regional 3D strain measures at each cardiac phase in both conventional and principal strain directions. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed on the composite 3D-MDA dataset. The first 20 components were chosen, accounting for approximately 65% of the population variance. Subsequently, a support-vector-machine-based algorithm was used with 10-fold cross-validation to discriminate ICM from NIDCM.
Results
Patients were 63±10 years (ICM: 63±10 years, NIDCM: 63±10 years, p=0.955), 74% male (ICM: 74%, NIDCM: 74%, p=1.000), and had a mean LVEF of 27±8% (ICM: 27±7%, NIDCM: 28±7%, p=0.688). Global time to peak strain was significantly shorter in ICM patients relative to NIDCM patients across all surfaces and in all directions (p<0.05). The highest single-variable Area Under the Curve (AUC) achieved for the classification of ICM versus NIDCM from global data was for minimum principal strain (ICM: 43.7±7.8, NIDCM: 48.3±7.5, p<0.001, AUC: 0.682) (Figure 1). However, a multi-feature machine-learning-based model exposed to all available regional 3D deformation data achieved an AUC of 0.903 (sensitivity 87.7%, specificity 75.5%).
Conclusions
Machine learning-based analyses of3D regionaldeformation patterns allows for robust discrimination of ICM versus NIDCM. Further expansion of the presented findings is planned on a wider, multi-centre cohort.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This 1-y cohort study examined whether Council of Nutrition Appetite Questionnaire (CNAQ) scores predicted mortality in 316 elderly Japanese residents of five nursing homes (60 men, 256 women; mean age: 84.9 ± 8.3 y). METHODS The baseline survey included participant characteristics (e.g., age, sex, height, weight, and medical history), and Barthel Index (BI), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA®-SF), CNAQ, Simplified Nutritional Appetite Questionnaire (SNAQ; simplified CNAQ), and SNAQ for the Japanese elderly (SNAQ-JE) scores. RESULTS Following the baseline survey, mortality data were collected for 1 y; during this time, 62 participants (19.6%) died. The deceased group's CNAQ scores (25.1 ± 4.8) were significantly lower than those of the survival group (28 ± 3.6; P < 0.001). After adjusting for age, sex, medical history, BI, CDR, and MNA®-SF scores in Cox proportional regression, CNAQ (hazard ratio [HR], 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85-0.97; P = 0.004), SNAQ (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.75-0.93; P = 0.001), and SNAQ-JE (HR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.76-0.92; P < 0.001) scores were related to mortality. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that CNAQ scores were inversely associated with 1-y mortality. Furthermore, appetite assessment using the CNAQ predicted the death of Japanese nursing home residents. Similarly, the SNAQ and SNAQ-JE scores were inversely associated with 1-y mortality.

Abstract
Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is a rare intermediate tumor, which rarely metastasizes and has myofibroblastic differentiation in various sites. It is particularly associated with the tongue in the head and neck region. The lack of any pathological features means it is difficult to make a conclusive diagnosis of LGMS. The immunohistochemical features and genomic rearrangements, including SS18-SSXs and MYH9-USP6s and the genetic mutations of cancer-associated genes, including APC, CTNNB1, EGFR, KRAS, PIK3CA and p53 were examined in a case of LGMS arising in the tip of the tongue. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for alpha-smooth muscle actin and vimentin, as in previous reports. They demonstrated neither genomic rearrangements nor point mutations of cancer-associated genes. Although several tumor cells demonstrated intravascular invasion, the MIB-l labeling index of the cells was the same as the original lesion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report of LGMS arising in the tip of the tongue with intravascular invasion.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study was designed to investigate the process of calcification during bone healing in a standardized rat calvarial bone defect model, measured by bone mineral density and the concentrations and distributions of calcium, phosphorus and carbon in the bone matrix. MATERIALS AND METHODS A standard defect was made on the parietal bone of 12-week-old rats under anaesthesia. The rats were fixed in weeks 1, 2, 4 and 8,and the calvaria were resected and examined with microcomputed tomography, then frozen and sectioned for histology and analysed with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Parietal bone of 12-week-old control rats was processed similarly. RESULTS The mineral density of healing bone increased with time. The healing bone became thicker and denser with time in histology. The distributions of Ca and P expanded over the bone matrix, whereas that of C became localised and complemented that of C and P. The Ca/P concentration ratio increased, whereas the C/Ca and C/P ratios decreased in the healing bone matrix. CONCLUSION Healing bone is immaturely calcified initially and proceeds calcification gradually, that is, as the bone volume increases, mineral increases in density and matures in quality, while organic components decrease.

Abstract
Abnormal expression of Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) region gene 1 (FRG1) is involved in the pathogenesis of FSHD. FRG1 is also important for the normal muscular and vascular development. Our previous study showed that FRG1 is one of the highly expressed genes in the mandible on embryonic day 10.5 (E10.5) than on E12.0. In this study, we investigated the temporospatial expression pattern of FRG1 mRNA and protein during the development of the mouse lower first molar, and also evaluated the subcellular localization of the FRG1 protein in mouse dental epithelial (mDE6) cells. The FRG1 expression was identified in the dental epithelial and mesenchymal cells at the initiation and bud stages. It was detected in the inner enamel epithelium at the cap and early bell stages. At the late bell and root formation stages, these signals were detected in ameloblasts and odontoblasts during the formation of enamel and dentin matrices, respectively. The FRG1 protein was localized in the cytoplasm in the mouse tooth germ in vivo, while FRG1 was detected predominantly in the nucleus and faintly in the cytoplasm in mDE6 cells in vitro. In mDE6 cells treated with bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4), the protein expression of FRG1 increased in cytoplasm, suggesting that FRG1 may translocate to the cytoplasm. These findings suggest that FRG1 is involved in the morphogenesis of the tooth germ, as well as in the formation of enamel and dentin matrices and that FRG1 may play a role in the odontogenesis in the mouse following BMP4 stimulation.

Abstract
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a novel systemic disease entity characterized by elevated serum IgG4 and tissue infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells accompanied by severe fibrosis. Although recent studies demonstrated that innate immune cells including monocytes and macrophages might promote local fibrosis and IgG4 production, the pathological mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we sought to identify the disease-associated genes, especially innate immune molecules. Gene expression was analyzed by DNA microarray in submandibular glands (SMGs) from patients with IgG4-RD (n = 5), chronic sialoadenitis (CS) (n = 3), and controls (n = 3). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were validated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunohistochemical staining in IgG4-RD (n = 18), CS (n = 4), Sjögren syndrome (n = 11), and controls (n = 10). Gene expression patterns in the 3 groups were quite different from each other by the pvclust method and principal components analysis. In IgG4-RD, 1028 upregulated genes and 692 downregulated genes were identified as DEGs (P < 0.05). Gene Ontology (GO) term analysis indicated that the upregulated DEGs in IgG4-RD encoded proteins involved in T/B cell activation and chemotaxis. PCR validated significantly higher expression of macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO), a pattern-recognition receptor, in IgG4-RD compared with the other groups (P < 0.01). Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed that the expression pattern of MARCO was similar to that of the M2 macrophage marker CD163. MARCO was identified as a disease-associated molecule in IgG4-RD by DNA microarray. Moreover, M2 macrophages might contribute to the initiation of IgG4-RD via MARCO.

Abstract
In previous studies by our group, we reported that thymosin beta 4 (Tb4) is closely associated with the initiation and development of the tooth germ, and can induce the expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) during the development of the tooth germ. RUNX2 regulates the expression of odontogenesis-related genes, such as amelogenin, X-linked (Amelx), ameloblastin (Ambn) and enamelin (Enam), as well as the differentiation of osteoblasts during bone formation. However, the mechanisms through which Tb4 induces the expression of RUNX2 remain unknown. In the present study, we employed a mouse dental epithelial cell line, mDE6, with the aim to elucidate these mechanisms. The mDE6 cells expressed odontogenesis-related genes, such as Runx2, Amelx, Ambn and Enam, and formed calcified matrices upon the induction of calcification, thus showing characteristics of odontogenic epithelial cells. The expression of odontogenesis-related genes, and the calcification of the mDE6 cells were reduced by the inhibition of phosphorylated Smad1/5 (p-Smad1/5) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) proteins. Furthermore, we used siRNA against Tb4 to determine whether RUNX2 expression and calcification are associated with Tb4 expression in the mDE6 cells. The protein expression of p-Smad1/5 and p-Akt in the mDE6 cells was reduced by treatment with Tb4-siRNA. These results suggest that Tb4 is associated with RUNX2 expression through the Smad and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways, and with calcification through RUNX2 expression in the mDE6 cells. This study provides putative information concerning the signaling pathway through which Tb4 induces RUNX2 expression, which may help to understand the regulation of tooth development and tooth regeneration.
