Abstract
Since 2013, the Japanese Society for Vascular Surgery has started the project of nationwide registration and tracking database for patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) who are treated by vascular surgeons. The purpose of this project is to clarify the current status of the medical practice for the patients with CLI to contribute to the improvement of the quality of medical care. This database, called JAPAN Critical Limb Ischemia Database (JCLIMB), is created on the National Clinical Database and collects data of patients' background, therapeutic measures, early results, and long-term prognosis as long as 5 years after the initial treatment. The limbs managed conservatively are also registered in JCLIMB, together with those treated by surgery and/or endovascular treatment. In 2020, 1299 CLI limbs (male 890 limbs: 69%) were registered by 85 facilities. Arteriosclerosis obliterans has accounted for 99% of the pathogenesis of these limbs. In this manuscript, the background data and the early prognosis of the registered limbs are reported. (This is a translation of Jpn J Vasc Surg 2023; 32: 363-391.).

Abstract
AIM To provide information including the trend of gynecological malignancies in Japan, we hereby present the annual patient report for 2020 and the Annual Treatment Report for 2015, on the outcomes of patients who started treatment in 2015. METHODS The Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology maintains an annual tumor registry, where information on gynecological malignancies from various participating institutions is gathered. The data of patients whose treatment with gynecologic malignancies was initiated in 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Survival of the patients who started treatment with cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancer in 2015 was analyzed by using the Kaplan-Meier, log-rank, and Wilcoxson tests. RESULTS Treatment was initiated in 2020 for 7689 patients with cervical cancer, 13 113 with endometrial cancer, 8004 with ovarian, tubal, and peritoneal cancer, 2152 with ovarian borderline tumors, and with the others (260 vulvar cancer, 157 vaginal cancer, 464 uterine sarcoma, 50 uterine adenosarcoma, 136 trophoblastic diseases). This clinicopathological information was summarized as the patient annual report. The 5-year survival rates of the patients with cervical cancer were 92.3%, 76.2%, 56.5%, and 32.2% for Stages I, II, III, and IV, respectively. The 5-year survival rates for the patients with endometrial cancer were 93.9%, 87.6%, 71.4%, and 29.3% for Stages I, II, III, and IV, respectively. The 5-year survival rates for the patients with ovarian cancer (surface epithelial-stromal tumors) were 91.7%, 80.6%, 50.8%, and 39.7% for Stages I, II, III, and IV, respectively. CONCLUSION The annual tumor report is an important survey that provides knowledge on gynecological malignancy trends in Japan.

Abstract
Objectives The WHO emphasizes lifelong management of hearing diseases such as hearing loss and advocates for prevention. The Ear and Hearing Care Situation Analysis (EHCSA) tool was designed by the WHO for assessment and quality improvement of state-led management of hearing loss prevention and management programs. The purpose of this study was to use the EHCSA to assess the ear and hearing management program in Korea and to establish goals consistent with best practices for improving policies and services related to ear and hearing care. Methods The EHCSA was used as a need assessment of the ear and hearing management services in the country. The EHCSA consists of two sections. Section 1 consists of 41 questions to evaluate health policies and support services. Section 2 consists of 203 questions to evaluate human resources and services of the ear and hearing management sector. Results There are an estimated 800,000 people with hearing loss in Korea. Policies such as hearing aid support are in place, and outreach services such as free hearing tests are also being actively conducted. In all medical institutions, ear and hearing management treatment and medication prescriptions could be received without barriers. Workers in the fields of ear and hearing management, such as audiologists, language therapists, special education teachers, and sign language interpreters, are specialized and have well-established guidelines for training. Conclusion Overall, the domestic ear and hearing management sector has confirmed that policies and services are well-prepared in comparison with advanced countries such as the United States, Iran, and China. The use of the EHCSA was functional in collecting data on the current state of domestic ear and hearing management policies and services in Korea, can be used for continuous quality improvement and expansion of medical services, and can be used as a reporting mechanism to the WHO.

Abstract
PURPOSE Continuous annual reporting on coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgical practice is key for quality control and improvement of clinical results. In this report, Japanese nationwide features and trends in the extent of coronary artery disease and the characteristics of those undergoing CABG procedures in 2019 are presented. Clinical results of related ischemic heart disease are also presented. METHODS AND RESULTS The Japanese Cardiovascular Surgery Database (JCVSD) is a nationwide surgical case registry system. Data regarding CABG cases in the year 2019 (1 January-31 December) were captured with questionnaires regularly administered by the Japanese Association for Coronary Artery Surgery (JACAS). We analyzed trends in the number and types of grafts selected according to the number of diseased vessels in patients undergoing CABG. We also analyzed descriptive clinical results of those undergoing surgery for acute myocardial infarction or ischemic mitral regurgitation. CONCLUSIONS This is the second publication summarizing the results following the JACAS annual report based on JCVSD Registry data from the year 2019. Clinical outcomes and surgical strategy trends were relatively stable. Further accumulation of information with a similar data collection system is expected.

Abstract
As part of its role in the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS), the WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza in Melbourne received a record total of 12,073 human influenza positive samples during 2022. Viruses were analysed for their antigenic, genetic and antiviral susceptibility properties. Selected viruses were propagated in qualified cells or embryonated hen's eggs for potential use in seasonal influenza virus vaccines. In 2022, influenza A(H3N2) viruses predominated over influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and B viruses, accounting for 77% of all viruses analysed. The majority of A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) and influenza B viruses analysed at the Centre were found to be antigenically and genetically similar to the respective WHO recommended vaccine strains for the southern hemisphere in 2022. Of 3,372 samples tested for susceptibility to the neuraminidase inhibitors oseltamivir and zanamivir, two A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses showed highly reduced inhibition against oseltamivir.

Abstract
More research on sport for development and peace (SDP) organizations is needed to better understand their actual contributions to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Yet, the unstable, restricted, or even risky contexts in which many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and SDP agencies sometimes operate often leave researchers to face important challenges to develop effective or feasible methods to work with such organizations. This study aimed to address the ontological and epistemological questions about what should be known about a given context in an organization before setting off on fieldwork. We propose a methodology, based on an actantial model (AM), as a method to analyze the nature and context of a project, to assess the actors involved in the project, and to establish if the global cost (i.e., material, temporal, financial, and physical) for conducting fieldwork is realistic and feasible of all the parties involved in the potential project. To illustrate this process, we analyzed the nature and context of an SDP project in Madagascar as the first step for potential collaborative research. As researchers, we do not want to invest time and energy to build up a fully developed field research project with an NGO in a context where it would not be realistic or feasible to conduct such research. Actually in this context, developing a research protocol without an implementation strategy might not only be detrimental to the researchers, but also to the NGO itself, where resources are often limited. Accordingly, the results from this preliminary field research demonstrate that an AM is a relevant analytical tool for obtaining insights about the context, the actors, and their relationships within an NGO. In conclusion, this model might be a useful instrument for conducting an initial analysis for the preliminary identification of the necessary conditions for the construction of a sustainable empirical research partnership with a given SDP project.

Abstract
The pandemic of new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) directly effected medical statistics service. The amendments to the Federal Law "On the Official Statistical Accounting and the System of State Statistics in the Russian Federation" adopted in December 2020, regulated the provision of primary statistical data according forms of Federal and industrial statistical observation in the format of electronic document signed with electronic signature. This required the development of system of collecting and processing statistical data at the Federal level applying new technological solutions. The purpose of the study. To analyze the changes in the system of collecting and processing annual reporting on medical statistics for 2020 during the pandemic of new coronavirus infection COVID-19. The analysis was made concerning both normative legal base regulating implementation of information systems and system of receiving annual reports for current and previous years. Also content analysis was applied and materials distributed Internet were used. In conditions of new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic, instead of classical system of informational interaction at face-to-face coordination of annual report data, in extremely short terms new model of informational interaction of remote coordination and processing of annual report data was developed. The updated technological scheme was applied that included data transmission, remote coordination in VKS format, informing thriugh Telegram-channels and signing finalized forms with enhanced electronic digital signature. The complicated epidemiological situation regarding morbidity of new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and as well as adoption of amendments in Federal legislation regarding provision of statistical observation forms in format of electronic document signed with electronic signature, required revision of format of statistical reports reception in 2020. The application of developed technology of collecting and processing annual reports data on medical statistics in online format permitted to dispense with both provision of hard copies versions of forms and reports and business trips of specialists from the subjects of the Russian Federation to Moscow that reduced expenses of the subjects of the Russian Federation when submitting annual reports. The developed mechanism of signing with unqualified electronic digital signature permitted to control data integrity. The applied mechanism for signing finalized concerted forms with enhanced electronic digital signature of public authority of the subject of the Russian Federation in the field of health protection ensured juridical significance of document provided. The establishment of base for further modernization of system of collecting statistical information from primary data, including subsequent implementation of structured electronic medical documents is proposed.

Abstract
Abstract As part of its role in the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS), the WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza in Melbourne received a record total of 9,266 human influenza positive samples during 2019. Viruses were analysed for their antigenic, genetic and antiviral susceptibility properties. Selected viruses were propagated in qualified cells or embryonated hen's eggs for potential use in seasonal influenza virus vaccines. In 2019, influenza A(H3N2) viruses predominated over influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 and B viruses, accounting for a total of 51% of all viruses analysed. The majority of A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) and influenza B viruses analysed at the Centre were found to be antigenically similar to the respective WHO recommended vaccine strains for the Southern Hemisphere in 2019. However, phylogenetic analysis indicated that a significant proportion of circulating A(H3N2) viruses had undergone genetic drift relative to the WHO recommended vaccine strain for 2019. Of 5,301 samples tested for susceptibility to the neuraminidase inhibitors oseltamivir and zanamivir, four A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses showed highly reduced inhibition with oseltamivir, one A(H1N1)pdm09 virus showed highly reduced inhibition with zanamivir and three B/Victoria viruses showed highly reduced inhibition with zanamivir.

Abstract
Since 2013, the Japanese Society for Vascular Surgery has started the project of nationwide registration and tracking database for patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) who are treated by vascular surgeons. The purpose of this project is to clarify the current status of the medical practice for patients with CLI to contribute to the improvement of the quality of medical care. This database, called JAPAN CLI Database (JCLIMB), is created on the National Clinical Database and collects data of patients’ background, therapeutic measures, early results, and long-term prognosis as long as 5 years after the initial treatment. The limbs managed conservatively are also registered in the JCLIMB, together with those treated by surgery and/or endovascular treatment. In 2018, 1,145 CLI limbs (male 758 limbs, 66%) were registered by 90 facilities. Arteriosclerosis obliterans has accounted for 97% of the pathogenesis of these limbs. In this manuscript, the background data, ischemic status, treatment, and the early prognosis (within 1 month) of the registered limbs are reported.

Abstract
Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) has shown successful results, instability remains a major complication. In recent years, dual mobility cups (DMC) have gained interest among clinicians thanks to its low rate of dislocation and good clinical results. The main aim of this work was to describe the accuracy of data on DMC from national and regional joint registries (JRs) and the available worldwide literature. We identified topics on DMC among JRs to propose a new harmonized and standardized section for DMC with the aim to understand its surveillance over the time. We extracted survival and implant data for a separate analysis. After performing a critical exclusion process, nine joint registries were considered eligible and included for final synthesis; these were the results from the available worldwide data from Joints Registries (JRs). In our study, eight analysed JRs reported a slight increase in DMC use in the last decade. In all the JRs evaluated and the available articles, dislocation remains one of the main reasons for revision and re-revision in hip arthroplasties. DMC is considered a valid construct increasingly used worldwide in primary and revision THA with the primary aim of reducing dislocation rates. Annual reports from JRs collect heterogeneous and low-quality information about outcomes and surveillance of DMC, creating a burden for clinicians to extract comparable data from different JR. Longer follow-up and a systematic registering of DMCs with international registry harmonization are needed to monitor DMC outcomes.

Abstract
AIM To provide information including the trend of gynecological malignancies in Japan, we hereby present the Annual Patient Report for 2017 and the Annual Treatment Report for 2012, on the outcomes of patients who started treatment in 2012. METHODS The Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology maintains an annual tumor registry, where information on gynecological malignancies from various participating institutions is gathered. The data of patients whose treatment with gynecologic malignancies was initiated in 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Survival of the patients who started treatment with cervical, endometrial and ovarian cancer in 2012 was analyzed by using the Kaplan-Meier, log-rank and Wilcoxon tests. RESULTS Treatment was initiated in 2017 for 7710 patients with cervical cancer; 11 120 with endometrial cancer; 7029 with ovarian, tubal and peritoneal cancer; 2164 with ovarian borderline tumors; and with the others (213 vulvar cancer, 139 vaginal cancer, 366 uterine sarcoma, 41 uterine adenosarcoma and 131 trophoblastic diseases). This clinicopathological information was summarized as the patient annual report. The 5-year survival rates of the patients with cervical cancer were 92.9, 75.5, 58.2 and 26.7% for stages I, II, III and IV, respectively. The 5-year survival rates for the patients with endometrial cancer were 93.6, 85.6, 72.6 and 27.3% for stages I, II, III and IV, respectively. The 5-year survival rates for the patients with ovarian cancer (surface epithelial-stromal tumors) were 92.5, 83.5, 49.5 and 30.8% for stages I, II, III and IV, respectively. CONCLUSION The annual tumor report is an important survey that provides knowledge on gynecological malignancy trends in Japan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Haemovigilance involves surveillance of the whole chain of blood transfusion with the aim of identifying adverse events and errors and improving outcomes for patients. The Chinese Haemovigilance Network, founded in August 2017, has witnessed a rapid development in the last three years. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on the 1,022 cases in 2019, we analysed the adverse reactions (ARs) by blood component, clinical outcome severity and demography of recipients in an effort to publish the first annual Chinese haemovigilance report. RESULTS The AR rate associated with blood transfusion in 2019 was 0·2% in China. Allergic reactions and FNHTR were the two most common adverse symptoms, accounting for 97·7% of the reports. Two-thirds of the TAD, AHTR and TACO and all of the HTR and DHTR resulted in hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization. Plasma and AP were usually associated with allergic reaction (81·1%), whereas red cells more commonly cause FNHTR (68·8%) and all the AHTR, HTR, DSTR and DHTR. 84·1% of patients were aged 16 years or over, and the majority of the TAD, AHTR, TACO and HTR involved patients aged 60 and above. The ratio of serious adverse reactions (SARs) was 8·2%. Allergic reaction and FNHTR were top two (85·7%) SARs. The first case related to anti-D immunoglobulin was detected in a DHTR report. CONCLUSION This report provides the world's first overview of transfusion-related adverse reactions in China. This report is useful for better understanding transfusion risks in China.

Abstract
Abstract In 2018, the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System received 1,438 tuberculosis (TB) notifications, representing a rate of 5.8 per 100,000 population, consistent with the preceding three years. Australia has achieved and maintained good tuberculosis (TB) control since the mid-1980s, sustaining a low annual TB incidence rate of approximately five to six cases per 100,000 population. The number of multi-drug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) cases diagnosed in Australia is low by international standards, with approximately 2% of TB notifications per year classified as MDR-TB. Australia's overseas-born population continue to represent the majority of TB notifications (between 86% to 89% across the four reporting years) and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population continues to record TB rates around four to five times higher than the Australian-born Non-Indigenous population. Whilst Australia has achieved and maintained excellent control of TB in Australia, sustained effort is required to reduce local rates further, especially among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations, and to contribute to the achievement of the World Health Organization's goal to end the global TB epidemic by 2035.

Abstract
The Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology collects and analyzes annual data on gynecologic cancers from member institutions. We present the Patient Annual Report for 2014 and the Treatment Annual Report for 2009. Data on 7436 patients with cervical cancer, 9673 with endometrial cancer, 5924 with ovarian cancer, and 1909 with ovarian borderline tumor for whom treatment was initiated in 2014 were summarized in the Patient Annual Report. Stage I accounted for 55.6%, stage II for 22.9%, stage III for 10.2%, and stage IV for 11.2% of all patients with cervical cancer. Stage I accounted for 72.3%, stage II for 6.0%, stage III for 14.1%, and stage IV for 7.7% of all patients with endometrial cancer. Stage I accounted for 43.3%, stage II for 9.1%, stage III for 27.6%, and stage IV for 7.2% of all patients with ovarian cancer. Data on the prognosis of 4126 patients with cervical cancer, 4613 with endometrial cancer, and 3205 with ovarian cancer for whom treatment was initiated in 2009 were analyzed in the Treatment Annual Report. Survival was analyzed by using the Kaplan-Meier method, the log-rank test and the Wilcoxon test. The 5-year overall survival rates for patients with cervical cancer were 92.4% for stage I, 76.7% for stage II, 54.3% for stage III, and 25.2% for stage IV. The equivalent rates for patients with endometrial cancer were 94.6%, 89.4%, 78.3%, and 25.0%, respectively; and those for patients with ovarian cancer (surface epithelial-stromal tumors) were 90.5%, 78.8%, 46.0%, and 25.1%, respectively.

Abstract
Research activities and scientific advance achieved in 2013 at the State Institution "National Research Center for Radiation Medicine of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine" (NRCRM) concerning medical problems of the Chornobyl disaster, radiation medicine, radiobiology, radiation hygiene and epidemiology in collaboration with the WHO network of medical preparedness and assistance in radiation accidents are outlined in the annual report. Key points include the research results of XRCC1 and XPD gene polymorphism in thyroid cancer patients, CD38 gene GG genotype as a risk factor for chronic lymphocytic leukemia, frequency of 185delAG and 5382insC mutations in BRCA1 gene in women with breast cancer, cognitive function and TERF1, TERF2, TERT gene expression both with telomere length in human under the low dose radiation exposure. The "source-scattering/shielding structures- man" models for calculation of partial dose values to the eye lens and new methods for radiation risk assessment were developed and adapted. Radiation risks of leukemia including chronic lymphocytic leukemia in the cohort of liquidators were published according to the "case-control" study results after 20 years of survey. Increase of non-tumor morbidity in liquidators during the 1988-2011 with the maximum level 12-21 years upon irradiation was found. Incidence in evacuees appeared being of two-peak pattern i.e. in the first years after the accident and 12 years later. Experimental studies have concerned the impact of radio-modifiers on cellular systems, reproductive function in the population, features of the child nutrition in radiation contamination area were studied. Report also shows the results of scientific and organizational, medical and preventive work, staff training, and implementation of innovations. The NRCRM Annual Report was approved at the Scientific Council meeting of NAMS on March 3, 2014.
