Abstract
OBJECTIVES Our goal was to review our surgical experiences in patients with complex pathologies of the aortic arch who have undergone anterolateral thoracotomy with a partial sternotomy (ALPS). METHODS From October 2019 to November 2023, a total of 23 patients underwent one-stage repairs of complex pathologies of the aortic arch through the ALPS approach. The mean age was 61.9 ± 16.7 years old. The aortic pathologies were as follows: aorta-related infection in 11 (aorto-oesophageal fistula: 4, graft infection: 6, native aortic infection: 1); aortic dissection in 9 including shaggy aorta in 2, non-dissecting aneurysm in 1, and coarctation of the aorta (CoA) in 2. RESULTS Eighteen patients underwent aortic replacement from either the sinotubular junction or the ascending aorta to the descending aorta; 1 patient underwent it from the aortic root to the descending aorta (redo Bentall procedure and extensive aortic arch replacement); 3 patients underwent it from the aortic arch between the left carotid artery and left subclavian artery to the descending aorta; and 1 patient underwent a descending aortic replacement. Ten patients underwent omentopexy, latissimus dorsi muscle flap installation or both procedures. The hospital mortality rate was 13.0% (3/23). The overall survival and freedom from aortic events were 73.3%±10.2% and 74.1%±10.2%, respectively, at the 3-year follow-up. There was an absence of aorta-related deaths, and no recurrent infections were identified. CONCLUSIONS The short-term outcomes using the ALPS approach for the treatment of complex pathologies of the aortic arch were acceptable. Further studies will be required to determine the long-term results.

Abstract
PURPOSE Acneiform rash is frequently observed in patients undergoing cancer treatment with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody drugs and can often necessitate treatment discontinuation. However, the specific changes in skin parameters resulting from anti-EGFR antibody drug administration are poorly understood. Therefore, this study aimed to longitudinally and quantitatively evaluate the changes in skin parameters (transepidermal water loss [TEWL], hydration level, and sebum level) caused by anti-EGFR antibody drugs and investigate their potential as control markers for skin disorders. METHODS This prospective study included 12 patients with colorectal cancer who received anti-EGFR antibody drugs for the first time. The assessment items included the grade of acneiform rash and skin parameters (TEWL, hydration level, and sebum level), which were observed for up to 6 weeks after administration of the medication. RESULTS The enrolled patients were classified into two groups based on the grade of acneiform rash caused by anti-EGFR antibody drugs: "Grade 1 and lower," and "Grade 2 and higher." The skin parameters were compared between these groups. The results showed that in the "Grade 2 and higher" group, TEWL in the face (at week 2 of administration), chest (baseline, weeks 2 and 6 of administration), and back (at week 2 of administration) were significantly higher than those in the "Grade 1 and lower" group. However, the two groups showed no significant differences in hydration or sebum levels at any time point. CONCLUSION TEWL can serve as a marker for acneiform rashes induced by anti-EGFR antibody drugs during cancer treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pre-emptive transcatheter arterial embolization (P-TAE) of aortic side branches to prevent type II endoleak in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm after endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair (EVAR). MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicenter, prospective, single-arm trial enrolled 100 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm from nine hospitals between 2018 and 2021. There were 85 men and 15 women, with a mean age of 79.6 ± 6.0 (standard deviation) years (range: 65-97 years). P-TAE was attempted for patent aortic side branches, including the inferior mesenteric artery, lumbar arteries, and other branches. The primary endpoint was late type II endoleak incidence at 6 months post-repair. Secondary endpoints included changes in aneurysmal sac diameter at 6- and 12 months, complications, re-intervention, and aneurysm-related mortality. Aneurysm sac changes at 6- and 12 months was compared between the late and no-late type II endoleak groups. RESULTS Coil embolization was successful in 80.9% (321/397) of patent aortic side branches, including 86.3% of the inferior mesenteric arteries, 80.3% of lumbar arteries, and 55.6% of other branches without severe adverse events. Late type II endoleak incidence at 6 months was 8.9% (8/90; 95% confidence interval: 3.9-16.8%). Aneurysm sac shrinkage > 5 mm was observed in 41.1% (37/90) and 55.3% (47/85) of the patients at 6- and 12-months post-EVAR, respectively. Patients with late type II endoleak had less aneurysm sac shrinkage than those without type II endoleak at 12 months (-0.2 mm vs. -6.0 mm; P = 0.040). No patients required re-intervention for type II endoleak, and no aneurysm-related mortalities occurred. CONCLUSION P-TAE is safe and effective in preventing type II endoleak, leading to early sac shrinkage at 12 months following EVAR.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of pre-emptive transcatheter arterial embolization (P-TAE) for aortic side branches (ASBs) to prevent Type 2 endoleaks (EL2) before endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using the Excluder stent-graft system (Excluder). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective, multicenter study, 80 patients (mean age, 79.1 years [SD ± 6.7]; 85.0% were men; mean aneurysmal sac diameter, 48.4 mm [SD ± 7.4]) meeting the eligibility criteria were prospectively enrolled from 9 hospitals. Before EVAR, P-TAE was performed to embolize the patent ASBs originating from the abdominal aortic aneurysm. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) was performed at 1 month and 6 months after EVAR. The primary endpoint was EL2 incidence at 6 months, and the secondary endpoints were aneurysmal sac diameter changes at 6 and 12 months, P-TAE outcomes, adverse events related to P-TAE, reintervention, and aneurysm-related mortality. RESULTS All patients successfully underwent P-TAE without serious. Coil embolization was successful in 81.6% of ASBs. EL2 incidence at 6 months was identified in 18 of 70 (25.7%) patients. Aneurysmal sac diameter shrinkage (≥5 mm) was observed in 30.0% of patients at 6 months and in 40.9% at 12 months. Only 1 patient required reintervention for EL2 within 1 year of EVAR; aneurysm-related deaths were not observed. CONCLUSIONS P-TAE for ASBs before EVAR using Excluder is a safe and effective strategy. It aids in achieving early aneurysmal sac shrinkage and reduces EL2 reintervention at 1 year after EVAR.

Abstract
The lymphatic system (or lymphatics) consists of lymphoid organs and lymphatic vessels. Despite the numerous previously published studies describing conditions related to perirenal and intrarenal lymphoid organs in the radiology literature, the radiologic findings of conditions related to intrarenal and perirenal lymphatic vessels have been scarcely reported. In the renal cortex, interlobular lymphatic capillaries do not have valves; therefore, lymph can travel along the primary route toward the hilum, as well as toward the capsular lymphatic plexus. These two lymphatic pathways can be opacified by contrast medium via pyelolymphatic backflow at CT urography, which reflects urinary contrast agent leakage into perirenal lymphatic vessels via forniceal rupture. Pyelolymphatic backflow toward the renal hilum should be distinguished from urinary leakage due to urinary injury. Delayed subcapsular contrast material retention via pyelolymphatic backflow, appearing as hyperattenuating subcapsular foci on CT images, mimics other subcapsular cystic diseases. In contrast to renal parapelvic cysts originating from the renal parenchyma, renal peripelvic cysts are known to be of lymphatic origin. Congenital renal lymphangiectasia is mainly seen in children and assessed and followed up at imaging. Several lymphatic conditions, including lymphatic leakage as an early complication and acquired renal lymphangiectasia as a late complication, are sometimes identified at imaging follow-up of kidney transplant. Lymphangiographic contrast material accumulation in the renal hilar lymphatic vessels is characteristic of chylo-urinary fistula. Chyluria appears as a fat-layering fluid-fluid level in the urinary bladder or upper urinary tract. Recognition of the anatomic pathway of tumor spread via lymphatic vessels at imaging is of clinical importance for accurate management at oncologic imaging. ©RSNA, 2024 Test Your Knowledge questions for this article are available in the supplemental material.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of cancer detection rate (CDR) and abnormal interpretation rate (AIR) in prostate MRI for patients with low-grade prostate cancer (PCa). METHODS This three-center retrospective study included patients who underwent prostate MRI from 2017 to 2021 with known low-grade PCa (Gleason score 6) without prior treatment. Patient-level highest Prostate Imaging Reporting & Data System (PI-RADS®) score and pathologic diagnosis within 1 year after MRI were used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of prostate MRI in detecting clinically significant PCa (csPCa; Gleason score ≥ 7). The metrics AIR, CDR, and CDR adjusted for pathologic confirmation rate were calculated. Radiologist-level AIR-CDR plots were shown. Simulation AIR-CDR lines were created to assess the effects of different diagnostic performances of prostate MRI and the prevalence of csPCa. RESULTS A total of 3,207 examinations were interpreted by 33 radiologists. Overall AIR, CDR, and CDR adjusted for pathologic confirmation rate at PI-RADS 3 to 5 (PI-RADS 4 and 5) were 51.7% (36.5%), 22.1% (18.8%), and 30.7% (24.6%), respectively. Radiologist-level AIR and CDR at PI-RADS 3 to 5 (PI-RADS 4 and 5) were in the 36.8% to 75.6% (21.9%-57.5%) range and the 16.3%-28.7% (10.9%-26.5%) range, respectively. In the simulation, changing parameters of diagnostic performance or csPCa prevalence shifted the AIR-CDR line. CONCLUSIONS The authors propose CDR and AIR as performance metrics in prostate MRI and report reference performance values in patients with known low-grade PCa. There was variability in radiologist-level AIR and CDR. Combined use of AIR and CDR could provide meaningful feedback for radiologists to improve their performance by showing relative performance to other radiologists.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report cancer detection rate (CDR) and abnormal interpretation rate (AIR) in prostate MRI performed for clinical suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa). MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective single-institution, three-center study included patients who underwent MRI for clinical suspicion of PCa between 2017 and 2021. Patients with known PCa were excluded. Patient-level Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score was extracted from the radiology report. AIR was defined as number of abnormal MRI (PI-RADS score 3-5) / total number of MRIs. CDR was defined as number of clinically significant PCa (csPCa: Gleason score ≥7) detected at abnormal MRI / total number of MRI. AIR, CDR, and CDR adjusted for pathology confirmation rate were calculated for each of three centers and pre-MRI biopsy status (biopsy-naive and previous negative biopsy). RESULTS A total of 9,686 examinations (8,643 unique patients) were included. AIR, CDR, and CDR adjusted for pathology confirmation rate were 45.4%, 23.8%, and 27.6% for center I; 47.2%, 20.0%, and 22.8% for center II; and 42.3%, 27.2%, and 30.1% for center III, respectively. Pathology confirmation rate ranged from 81.6% to 88.0% across three centers. AIR and CDR for biopsy-naive patients were 45.5% to 52.6% and 24.2% to 33.5% across three centers, respectively, and those for previous negative biopsy were 27.2% to 39.8% and 11.7% to 14.2% across three centers, respectively. CONCLUSION We reported CDR and AIR in prostate MRI for clinical suspicion of PCa. CDR needs to be adjusted for pathology confirmation rate and pre-MRI biopsy status for interfacility comparison.

Abstract
Label-free measurement is essential to understand the metabolism of drug molecules introduced into cells. Raman imaging is a powerful method to investigate intracellular drug molecules because it provides in situ label-free observation of introduced molecules. In this study, we propose that Raman imaging can be used not only to observe the intracellular distribution of drug molecules but also to quantitatively visualize the concentration distribution reflecting each organelle in a single living cell using the Raman band of extracellular water as an intensity standard. We dissolved poorly water-soluble all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) in water using a cytocompatible amphiphilic phospholipid polymer, poly[2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine-co-n-butyl methacrylate] (PMB) as a solubilizing reagent, introduced it into cells, and obtained the intracellular concentration distribution of ATRA. ATRA was concentrated in the cells and mainly localized to mitochondria and lipid droplets, interacting strongly with mitochondria and weakly with lipid droplets. Poorly water-soluble β-carotene was also introduced into cells using PMB but was not concentrated intracellularly, indicating that β-carotene does not interact specifically with intracellular molecules. We established a protocol for the solubilization and intracellular uptake of poorly water-soluble molecules using PMB and obtaining their concentration distribution using Raman microscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate evaluation of tumor invasion depth is essential to determine the appropriate treatment strategy for patients with superficial esophageal cancer. The pretreatment tumor depth diagnosis currently relies on the magnifying endoscopic classification established by the Japan Esophageal Society (JES). However, the diagnostic accuracy of tumors involving the muscularis mucosa (MM) or those invading the upper third of the submucosal layer (SM1), which correspond to Type B2 vessels in the JES classification, remains insufficient. Previous retrospective studies have reported improved accuracy by considering additional findings, such as the size and macroscopic type of the Type B2 vessel area, in evaluating tumor invasion depth. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether incorporating the size and/or macroscopic type of the Type B2 vessel area improves the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative tumor invasion depth prediction based on the JES classification. METHODS This multicenter prospective observational study will include patients diagnosed with MM/SM1 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma based on the Type B2 vessels of the JES classification. The tumor invasion depth will be evaluated using both the standard JES classification (standard-depth evaluation) and the JES classification with additional findings (hypothetical-depth evaluation) for the same set of patients. Data from both endoscopic depth evaluations will be electronically collected and stored in a cloud-based database before endoscopic resection or esophagectomy. This study's primary endpoint is accuracy, defined as the proportion of cases in which the preoperative depth diagnosis matched the histological depth diagnosis after resection. Outcomes of standard- and hypothetical-depth evaluation will be compared. DISCUSSION Collecting reliable prospective data on the JES classification, explicitly concerning the B2 vessel category, has the potential to provide valuable insights. Incorporating additional findings into the in-depth evaluation process may guide clinical decision-making and promote evidence-based medicine practices in managing superficial esophageal cancer. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial was registered in the Clinical Trials Registry of the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN-CTR) under the identifier UMIN000051145, registered on 23/5/2023.

Abstract
PET/MRI is a relatively new imaging modality with several advantages over PET/CT that promise to improve imaging of the abdomen and pelvis for specific diagnostic tasks by combining the superior soft tissue characterization of MRI with the functional information acquired from PET. PET/MRI has an established role in staging and response assessment of multiple abdominopelvic malignancies, but the modality is not yet established for non-oncologic conditions of the abdomen and pelvis. In this review, potential applications of PET/MRI for non-oncologic conditions of abdomen and pelvis are outlined, and the available literature is reviewed to highlight promising areas for further research and translation into clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES We assessed the accuracy of preoperative gallium-68 DOTA-Tyr3-octreotate (DOTATATE) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in estimating multifocality and nodal metastases of small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (sbNETs). METHODS A multicenter analysis was performed on patients with sbNETs who underwent preoperative DOTATATE PET imaging and surgical resection, with manual palpation of the entire length of the small bowel, between January 2016 and August 2022. Preoperative imaging reports and blinded secondary imaging reviews were compared to the final postoperative pathology reports. Descriptive statistics were applied. RESULTS One-hundred and four patients met inclusion criteria. Pathology showed 53 (51%) patients had multifocal sbNETs and 96 (92%) had nodal metastases. The original preoperative DOTATATE PET imaging identified multifocal sbNET in 28 (27%) patients and lymph node (LN) metastases in 80 (77%) patients. Based on original radiology reports, sensitivity for multifocal sbNET identification was 45%, specificity was 92%, positive predictive value (PPV) was 86%, and negative predictive value (NPV) was 62%. For the identification of LN metastases, sensitivity was 82%, specificity was 88%, PPV was 99%, and NPV was 29%. CONCLUSIONS Although DOTATATE PET imaging is specific and relatively accurate, sensitivity and NPV are insufficient to guide surgical planning. Preoperative use should not replace open palpation to identify additional synchronous lesions or to omit regional lymphadenectomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of susceptibility artifacts from hip prosthesis on cancer detection rate (CDR) in prostate MRI. MATERIALS AND METHODS This three-center retrospective study included prostate MRI studies for patients without known prostate cancer between 2017 and 2021. Exams with hip prosthesis were searched on MRI reports. The degree of susceptibility artifact on diffusion-weighted images was retrospectively categorized into mild, moderate, and severe (> 66%, 33-66%, and < 33% of the prostate volume are evaluable) by blind reviewers. CDR was defined as the number of exams with Gleason score ≥7 detected by MRI (PI-RADS ≥3) divided by the total number of exams. For each artifact grade, control exams without hip prosthesis were matched (1:6 match), and CDR was compared. The degree of CDR reduction was evaluated with ratio, and influential factors were evaluated by expanding the equation. RESULTS Hip arthroplasty was present in 548 (4.8%) of the 11,319 MRI exams. CDR of the cases and matched control exams for each artifact grade were as follows: mild (n = 238), 0.27 vs 0.25, CDR ratio = 1.09 [95% CI: 0.87-1.37]; moderate (n = 143), 0.18 vs 0.27, CDR ratio = 0.67 [95% CI: 0.46-0.96]; severe (n = 167), 0.22 vs 0.28, CDR ratio = 0.80 [95% CI: 0.59-1.08]. When moderate and severe artifact grades were combined, CDR ratio was 0.74 [95% CI: 0.58-0.93]. CDR reduction was mostly attributed to the increased frequency of PI-RADS 1-2. CONCLUSION With moderate to severe susceptibility artifacts from hip prosthesis, CDR was decreased to 74% compared to the matched control. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Moderate to severe susceptibility artifacts from hip prosthesis may cause a non-negligible CDR reduction in prostate MRI. Expanding indications for systematic prostate biopsy may be considered when PI-RADS 1-2 was assigned. KEY POINTS • We proposed cancer detection rate as a diagnostic performance metric in prostate MRI. • With moderate to severe susceptibility artifacts secondary to hip arthroplasty, cancer detection rate decreased to 74% compared to the matched control. • Expanding indications for systematic prostate biopsy may be considered when PI-RADS 1-2 is assigned.

Abstract
Practical applications like very thin stress-strain sensors require high strength, stretchability, and conductivity, simultaneously. One of the approaches is improving the toughness of the stress-strain sensing materials. Polymeric materials with movable cross-links in which the polymer chain penetrates the cavity of cyclodextrin (CD) demonstrate enhanced strength and stretchability, simultaneously. We designed two approaches that utilize elastomer nanocomposites with movable cross-links and carbon filler (ketjenblack, KB). One approach is mixing SC (a single movable cross-network material), a linear polymer (poly(ethyl acrylate), PEA), and KB to obtain their composite. The electrical resistance increases proportionally with tensile strain, leading to the application of this composite as a stress-strain sensor. The responses of this material are stable for over 100 loading and unloading cycles. The other approach is a composite made with KB and a movable cross-network elastomer for knitting dissimilar polymers (KP), where movable cross-links connect the CD-modified polystyrene (PSCD) and PEA. The obtained composite acts as a highly sensitive stress-strain sensor that exhibits an exponential increase in resistance with increasing tensile strain due to the polymer dethreading from the CD rings. The designed preparations of highly repeatable or highly responsive stress-strain sensors with good mechanical properties can help broaden their application in electrical devices.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) In oligo metastases in lymph node recurrence after surgery for esophageal cancer, since SBRT (BED>100 Gy10) to mediastinal and abdominal lymph node lesions was not an option due to toxicities in the organs at risk (OAR) such as vessels and gastrointestinal tract, we performed a prospective cohort study of hypofractionated IGRT for isolated lesions. The primary end-points of this study are disease specific survival (DSS) and late treatment toxicities. MATERIALS/METHODS From 2011 to 2021, 60 Gy/20F/4-4.5wks (78 Gy10) hypofractionated IGRT was performed in a total ITT population of 70 patients after radical surgery (67 cases) and ESD (3 cases), who were diagnosed by CT/PET-CT as having solitary lymph node recurrence (62 cases) or up to 2 adjacent nodes (8 cases). The mean time from surgery to recurrence was 17.9 months (SD 18.1) with a mean age of 67.5 years (SD 9.3), and male to female ratio was 62:8. Pathological results showed that 63 patients (90%) had squamous cell carcinoma. The mean maximum diameter of lesions was 2.5 cm (SD; 1.1 cm). And 51 cases (73%) were treated with CRT concurrently using 5FU plus CDDP (FP), and the rest were treated with RT alone. Lymph node location was lower neck or upper mediastinum in 42 cases, middle and lower mediastinum in 16 cases, and abdomen in 12 cases, respectively. Treatment planning was performed by taking 4DCT fusing PET or MRI images. The Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox proportional hazards regression model were used for overall survival (OS), DSS, and progression free survival (PFS). RESULTS The mean observation period was 38 months. Primary efficacy was CR in 45 cases (64%), but CR was maintained only in 29 cases (41%). Twenty-two of the 70 patients were relapse-free. OS were 53% and 34% at 2 and 5 years, DSS were 56% and 38% at 2 and 5 years, and PFS were 40% and 39% at 2 and 5 years, respectively. The site of first recurrence was the same or adjacent lymph nodes in 33 cases (47%) and distant metastases in 9 cases (13%). Number of tumors (1 vs. 2), age, and CRT were not significant prognostic factors for OS, DSS, or PFS. In a multivariate analysis, the time from surgery to recurrence ≥12 months was the only significant prognostic factor for PFS (p = 0.018, HR0.50). The same multivariate analysis showed that the only significant prognostic factor for DSS was the location of the recurrent lymph node in the neck and upper mediastinal regions (p = 0.009, HR 0.59). The only late adverse events of Grade 2 or higher were Grade 2 pleural effusion (little and transient) in 6 cases and Grade 2 radiation pneumonitis in 1 case. No acute adverse events were observed other than hematologic toxicity due to FP administration. CONCLUSION In locally advanced esophageal cancer, a relatively reliable regional lymph node dissection is often performed, so there is still a chance to aim for cure in cases of solitary recurrence. We found that if the lesion is solitary, localized RT of about 60 Gy/20F/4-4.5 weeks with IGRT can achieve a long-term survival in 40% of patients without any significant adverse events.

Abstract
Phase angle, obtained using bioelectrical impedance analysis, non-invasively reflects the whole-body cellular condition and nutritional status and may be helpful as a prognostic factor. Patients with diabetes had a smaller phase angle than healthy subjects. However, the clinical significance of phase angle has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between phase angle and HbA1c in patients with diabetes and the clinical relevance of phase angle. A retrospective, multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted with Japanese patients with diabetes. Body composition was determined with bioelectrical impedance analysis, and this was used to obtain phase angle. Phase angle was assessed in relation to clinical parameters, body composition parameters, and HbA1c levels. A total of 655 patients were enrolled (400 men and 255 women, aged 57.1 ± 14.8 years, body mass index 25.6 ± 5.2 kg/m2, HbA1c 8.1 ± 1.9%). Even in patients with diabetes, the phase angle was higher in men than in women and did not differ between the types of diabetes. Multiple regression analysis, performed with phase angle as the objective variable, and age, sex, diabetes type, HbA1c, albumin level, and body mass index as explanatory variables, revealed that phase angle was negatively affected by HbA1c (B = - 0.043, 95% Confidence interval: - 0.07 to - 0.02, p < 0.001). HbA1c, age, sex, albumin level, and body mass index were independent determinants of phase angle in participants with diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To describe the patient-reported health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) outcomes at five years for a multicenter randomized trial of tri-modality therapy with iodine-125 brachytherapy, external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), and short- versus long-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for high-risk localized prostate cancer (TRIP/TRIGU0907). MATERIALS/METHODS A total of 332 men with high-risk prostate cancer were randomized to either 6 months of ADT (n = 165) or 30 months of ADT (n = 167) in conjunction with combined modality radiation therapy. For the HR-QoL assessment, general HR-QoL and disease-specific HR-QoL were measured using the Japanese version of the Medical Outcomes Study 8-items Short-Form Health Survey (SF-8) and the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC). Patient-reported outcome questionnaires were filled out before ADT initiation, and five years after. Scores were reported as mean with the standard deviation. QoL end points were assessed as the change between pre and post treatment using paired student t-test. Changes in the International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS) score, including total score and subscores, were also evaluated. The study was powered according to the primary endpoint of biochemical progression free survival with HR-QoL as a secondary endpoint. In addition, recovery of testosterone level (300ng/dL or higher) was calculated as the cumulative incidence curve and compared between arms by log-rank test. RESULTS The cumulative incidence of biochemical progression, and salvage ADT treatment were not different between the arms. Mean domain scores at baseline were well balanced between the two arms in all HR-QoL. There were no differences in the SF-8 assessment and the total and subscore EPIC assessments between the arms. The average sexual function score was lower in short arm versus long arm; 16.24 versus 20.24 at baseline, but not different at five years, 9.96 versus 7.78 (p = 0.164). There were no significant differences between the arms for the total and subscore IPSS. Significantly higher percentage of patients, 71.7% in the short arm recovered to a normal testosterone level at 6 years after the initiation of ADT compared to 43.2% in long arm (p<0.0001). CONCLUSION At five years after ADT initiation, there were no significant differences in all score changes between the two arms with general HR-QoL and disease-specific HR-QoL. Most of HR-QoL returned to baseline level, and sexual function scores were low from baseline in this population. Two-years' adjuvant ADT did not affect HR-QoL at five years, although it significantly retarded testosterone recovery compared to 6 months of hormone therapy.

Abstract
AIM Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with bile duct invasion (BDI) (BDIHCC) has a poor prognosis. Moreover, due to the paucity of reports, there is no consensus regarding optimal management of this clinical condition yet. The aim of this study was to clarify the efficacy and safety of proton beam therapy (PBT) for BDIHCC. METHODS Between 2009 and 2018, 15 patients with BDIHCC underwent PBT at our institution. The overall survival (OS), local control (LC), and progression-free survival (PFS) curves were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Toxicities were assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events version 4.0. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 23.4 months (range, 7.9-54.3). The median age was 71 years (range, 58-90 years). Many patients were Child A (n = 8, 53.3%) and most had solitary tumors (n = 11, 73.3%). Additionally, most patients had central type BDI (n = 11, 73%). The median tumor size was 4.0 cm (range, 1.5-8.0 cm). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS rates were 80.0%, 58.7% and 40.2%, respectively, and the corresponding LC and PFS rates were 93.3%, 93.3%, and 74.7% and 72.7%, 9.7%, and 0.0%, respectively. Acute grade 1/2 dermatitis (n = 7, 46.7%), and grades 2 (n = 1, 6.7%) and 3 (n = 1, 6.7%) cholangitis were observed. Late toxicities such as grade 3 gastric hemorrhage and pleural effusion were observed. No toxicities of grade 4 or higher were observed. CONCLUSIONS PBT was feasible with tolerable toxicities for the treatment of BDIHCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is widely used worldwide, the fact that it is associated with increased rates of reintervention has been considered a problem. This study aimed to analyze the outcomes of primary open AAA repair and open conversion with explantation of stent grafts after EVAR. METHODS In this retrospective study, we enrolled 1,120 patients (open repair, n = 664; EVAR, n = 456) who underwent AAA repair at Kobe University from 1999 to 2019. Of the 664 patients who underwent open repair, 121 (patients who underwent primary open repair (POR) as a concomitant procedure and patients with ruptured AAA) were excluded from the study. The outcomes of POR were compared with those of open conversion with explantation of stent grafts. RESULTS Of the 543 patients who underwent open repair, 513 underwent POR and 30 underwent open conversion with explantation of stent grafts. The operation time for POR was significantly less than that for open conversion with explantation. During surgery, patients who underwent open conversion with explantation required significantly more transfusions of red cell concentrate, fresh frozen plasma, and platelet concentrate than those who underwent POR. Overall, 30 patients who underwent open conversion with explantation required a total of 48 reinterventions before surgery. Hospital mortality rates were 0.7% and 0% in the POR and open conversion with explantation groups, respectively (P = 0.62). Although overall survival at 5 years in the POR group was significantly better than that in the open conversion with explantation group (89.3 ± 1.7% vs. 79.5 ± 9.6%; P = 0.01), there were no significant differences between the 2 groups regarding the freedom from aortic event (hospital death, reintervention, and aortic death). According to the multivariate analysis, open conversion with explantation was not an independent risk factor for late death. There were 20 patients who were hesitant to undergo OCE, although we recommended OCE. In a subgroup analysis, the overall mean cost borne by patients who underwent EVAR was approximately 2.3 times higher compared with that borne by patients who underwent POR. CONCLUSIONS Although demanding, both early and long-term outcomes of OCE have been favorable in our present study. OCE is highly recommended in patients with persistent sac enlargement after EVAR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatty pancreas is associated with inflammatory and neoplastic pancreatic diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the diagnostic modality of choice for measuring pancreatic fat. Measurements typically use regions of interest limited by sampling and variability. We have previously described an artificial intelligence (AI)-aided approach for whole pancreas fat estimation on computed tomography (CT). In this study, we aimed to assess the correlation between whole pancreas MRI proton-density fat fraction (MR-PDFF) and CT attenuation. METHODS We identified patients without pancreatic disease who underwent both MRI and CT between January 1, 2015 and June 1, 2020. 158 paired MRI and CT scans were available for pancreas segmentation using an iteratively trained convolutional neural network (CNN) with manual correction. Boxplots were generated to visualize slice-by-slice variability in 2D-axial slice MR-PDFF. Correlation between whole pancreas MR-PDFF and age, BMI, hepatic fat and pancreas CT-Hounsfield Unit (CT-HU) was assessed. RESULTS Mean pancreatic MR-PDFF showed a strong inverse correlation (Spearman -0.755) with mean CT-HU. MR-PDFF was higher in males (25.22 vs 20.87; p = 0.0015) and in subjects with diabetes mellitus (25.95 vs 22.17; p = 0.0324), and was positively correlated with age and BMI. The pancreatic 2D-axial slice-to-slice MR-PDFF variability increased with increasing mean whole pancreas MR-PDFF (Spearman 0.51; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates a strong inverse correlation between whole pancreas MR-PDFF and CT-HU, indicating that both imaging modalities can be used to assess pancreatic fat. 2D-axial pancreas MR-PDFF is variable across slices, underscoring the need for AI-aided whole-organ measurements for objective and reproducible estimation of pancreatic fat.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) exhibit deficits in static and dynamic balance abilities and maladaptive functions. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of dance movement therapy (DMT) group intervention in individuals with DS. METHODS The 31 participating individuals with DS, aged 5-29 years, were randomly divided into intervention (n = 16) and control (n = 15) groups. Posturography was used for static balance measurement, timed up and go test for dynamic balance measurement and the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) questionnaire for adaptive function and behavioural problem measurement in participants before and after the DMT interventions. The intervention group underwent 60-min DMT intervention once a week for 10 times, while the control group had usual daily activities. RESULTS The results revealed a statistically significant difference and large effect sizes in dynamic balance [(f(1, 29) = 4.52, P = 0.04, ηp 2 = 0.14)] in the intervention group compared with the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in static balance and ASEBA scores between the groups. CONCLUSIONS This study found that the DMT interventions helped to improve the dynamic balance in individuals with DS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug-induced acute pancreatitis (AP) is uncommon and pancreatic involvement due to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in published reports relied on the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). CTCAE definition of AP differs from the revised Atlanta classification diagnostic criteria. This study aims to classify the spectrum of pancreatic involvement in patients receiving ICI therapy into categories built on the revised Atlanta classification. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of cancer patients receiving cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors between 2011 and 2020. Pancreas-specific immune-related adverse events (irAEs) were categorized into AP and pancreatic injury. RESULTS Forty-seven patients on ICI therapy met selection criteria. Twenty patients (43%) had AP, while 27 (57%) had pancreatic injury. Fifteen patients (75%) developed mild AP. Five patients progressed to pancreatic atrophy, and two patients (4%) developed exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. In both groups, most patients received nivolumab therapy (70% vs. 67%, p = 0.08) with no difference in mean number of nivolumab doses (9 vs. 10, p = 0.69). There was no correlation between the mean number of nivolumab or pembrolizumab doses and AP events (OR 0.94, p = 0.26, and OR 0.98, p = 0.86), but the duration of ICI therapy was significantly related to pancreatic atrophy (OR 1.01, p = 0.05; 95% CI 1.00-1.02). CONCLUSION Based on the novel classification, majority of pancreatic irAEs were classified as asymptomatic pancreatic injury but with some risk of pancreatic atrophy. This classification can help in assessing patterns of pancreatic involvement, pathogenesis, and treatment decisions.

Abstract
AbstractLeft ventricular thrombus is a complication of myocardial infarction, ventricular aneurysm, myocarditis, and cardiomyopathies, such as Takotsubo syndrome. We report the case of a 74-year-old woman who was diagnosed as left ventricular thrombus resulting from transient Takotsubo syndrome. The thrombus was completely removed using video-assisted thoracoscopy through right minithoracotomy. This approach is less invasive and can provide better visualization, thereby avoiding left ventriculotomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient and staff cohorting is part of a bundle approach in the response to multi-drug-resistant organisms, but its effectiveness is not fully clarified. This study compared the risks of acquiring vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) at a hospital during a VREfm outbreak based on contact characteristics in order to better understand the effectiveness of cohorting. METHODS Exposure came from contact with patients with VREfm (infectors), including existing patients with VREfm and patients who acquired VREfm during the study period. Contact was defined as length of contact time, degree of sharing space, and care by the same nurses as those caring for infectors between January and March 2018. The outcome was VREfm acquisition as determined through monthly stool or rectal screening cultures. Incidence rates were calculated based on contact patterns, and incidence rate ratios (IRRs) were compared. FINDINGS Among 272 inpatients (4038 patient-days), 43 patients acquired VREfm with the same or similar pulsotype. Incidence rates were 8.45 per 1000 patient-days when susceptible inpatients were on the same ward as an infector but cared for by different nurses (reference), 16.96 when susceptible inpatients were on the same ward as an infector and cared for by the same nurses [IRR 2.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.62-10.28], and 52.91 when susceptible inpatients shared a room with an infector (IRR 6.26, 95% CI 1.61-35.40). CONCLUSION Compared with susceptible inpatients in a different room from infectors and not being cared for by the same nurses, the risk of VREfm acquisition could be six times higher for susceptible inpatients who are in the same room as infectors, and could be double for susceptible inpatients cared for by the same nurses as infectors.

Abstract
Objectives Recent innovations in prophylactic treatment with steroids have overcome the issue of esophageal stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), except in entire circumferential esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (EC-ESCC). Current Japanese guidelines weakly recommend performing ESD for clinical epithelial/lamina propria EC-ESCC with a longitudinal extension <50 mm upon implementing prophylactic treatment against stricture. However, the accurate indications for ESD in EC-ESCC remain unknown, and strategies differ among institutions. The aim of this study was to understand the initial treatment strategy for EC-ESCC and prophylactic treatment after ESD against esophageal stricture. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted across 16 Japanese high-volume centers on the initial treatment for EC-ESCC according to the invasion depth and longitudinal extension, and prophylactic treatment against stricture. Results ESD was performed as the initial treatment not only in clinical epithelial/lamina propria lesions <50 mm (88-94% of institutions), but also in clinical epithelial/lamina propria ≥50 mm (44-50% of institutions) and clinical muscularis mucosae/SM1 (submucosal invasion depth invasion within 200 μm) lesions <50 mm (56-75% of institutions). Regarding prophylactic treatment against esophageal stricture, although there was a common point of local steroid injection, the details and administration of other treatments varied among institutions. Conclusions As ESD was performed with expanded indications for EC-ESCC than those recommended by the guidelines in more than half of the institutions, the validity of ESD for expanded EC-ESCC needs to be clarified. For that, it is necessary to prospectively collect short- and long-term outcomes after ESD and other treatments, including esophagectomy or chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)-deficient model helps to clarify the mechanism of knee osteoarthritis (OA); however, the conventional ACL injury model could have included concurrent onset factors such as direct compression stress to cartilage and subchondral bone. In this study, we established a novel Non-invasive ACL-Ruptured mouse model without concurrent injuries and elucidated the relationship between OA progression and joint instability. DESIGN We induced the ACL-Rupture non-invasively in twelve-week-old C57BL/6 male mice and evaluated histological, macroscopical, and morphological analysis at 0 days. Next, we created the ACL-R, controlled abnormal tibial translation (CATT), and Sham groups. Then, the joint stability and OA pathophysiology were analyzed at 2, 4, and 8 weeks. RESULTS No intra-articular injuries, except for ACL rupture, were observed in the ACL-R model. ACL-R mice increased anterior tibial displacement compared to the Sham group (P < 0.001, 95% CI [-1.509 to -0.966]) and CATT group (P < 0.001, 95% CI [-0.841 to -0.298]) at 8 weeks. All mice in the ACL-R group caused cartilage degeneration. The degree of cartilage degeneration in the ACL-R group was higher than in the CATT group (P = 0.006) at 8 weeks. The MMP-3-positive cell rate of chondrocytes increased in the ACL-R group than CATT group from 4 weeks (P = 0.043; 95% CI [-28.32 to -0.364]) while that of synovial cells increased at 8 weeks (P = 0.031; 95% CI [-23.398 to -1.021]). CONCLUSION We successfully established a Non-invasive ACL-R model without intra-articular damage. Our model revealed that chondrocytes might react to abnormal mechanical stress prior to synovial cells while the knee OA onset.

Abstract
The Aspergillus series Nigri contains biotechnologically and medically important species. They can produce hazardous mycotoxins, which is relevant due to the frequent occurrence of these species on foodstuffs and in the indoor environment. The taxonomy of the series has undergone numerous rearrangements, and currently, there are 14 species accepted in the series, most of which are considered cryptic. Species-level identifications are, however, problematic or impossible for many isolates even when using DNA sequencing or MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, indicating a possible problem in the definition of species limits or the presence of undescribed species diversity. To re-examine the species boundaries, we collected DNA sequences from three phylogenetic markers (benA, CaM and RPB2) for 276 strains from series Nigri and generated 18 new whole-genome sequences. With the three-gene dataset, we employed phylogenetic methods based on the multispecies coalescence model, including four single-locus methods (GMYC, bGMYC, PTP and bPTP) and one multilocus method (STACEY). From a total of 15 methods and their various settings, 11 supported the recognition of only three species corresponding to the three main phylogenetic lineages: A. niger, A. tubingensis and A. brasiliensis. Similarly, recognition of these three species was supported by the GCPSR approach (Genealogical Concordance Phylogenetic Species Recognition) and analysis in DELINEATE software. We also showed that the phylogeny based on benA, CaM and RPB2 is suboptimal and displays significant differences from a phylogeny constructed using 5 752 single-copy orthologous proteins; therefore, the results of the delimitation methods may be subject to a higher than usual level of uncertainty. To overcome this, we randomly selected 200 genes from these genomes and performed ten independent STACEY analyses, each with 20 genes. All analyses supported the recognition of only one species in the A. niger and A. brasiliensis lineages, while one to four species were inconsistently delimited in the A. tubingensis lineage. After considering all of these results and their practical implications, we propose that the revised series Nigri includes six species: A. brasiliensis, A. eucalypticola, A. luchuensis (syn. A. piperis), A. niger (syn. A. vinaceus and A. welwitschiae), A. tubingensis (syn. A. chiangmaiensis, A. costaricensis, A. neoniger and A. pseudopiperis) and A. vadensis. We also showed that the intraspecific genetic variability in the redefined A. niger and A. tubingensis does not deviate from that commonly found in other aspergilli. We supplemented the study with a list of accepted species, synonyms and unresolved names, some of which may threaten the stability of the current taxonomy.

Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
To describe the prevalence, clinical and radiological findings of biliary prolapse in pathologically proven mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L).
Methods
Thirty-four patients, all female with median age 50 years (range, 14–82), with histologically confirmed MCN-L were enrolled. Median tumor size was 9 cm (range, 2–21 cm). Fifty-seven examinations (17 ultrasound, 25 CT, and 15 MR) among 34 MCN-Ls were reviewed. Two radiologists retrospectively assessed images for tumor location, size and other morphological features of the tumor, presence of biliary prolapse and upstream bile duct dilatation. Ultrasound, CT, and MR were assessed separately. Clinical features were evaluated. Clinical and radiological characteristics of MCN-L with and without biliary prolapse were compared.
Results
15% (5/34) of MCN-Ls showed biliary prolapse confirmed at pathology. None of MCN-Ls were associated with invasive carcinoma. Patients with biliary prolapse were significantly younger than those without (median 27 years [22–56] vs. median 51 years [14–82], p = 0.03). MCN-Ls with biliary prolapse were significantly smaller than those without (median 6.4 cm [2.2–7.5] vs. median 9.6 cm [3.1–21], p = 0.01). The upstream bile duct was dilated more frequently in MCN-Ls with biliary prolapse (100% vs. 38%, p = 0.02). Jaundice was significantly more common in MCN-Ls with biliary prolapse (80 vs 3%, p = 0.0005). Other clinical or radiological features were not significantly different between two groups.
Conclusions
Biliary prolapse was found in 15% of MCN-Ls. MCN-Ls with biliary prolapse were significantly smaller and were more commonly associated with upstream bile duct dilation and jaundice than those without biliary prolapse.

Abstract
Normal Cowper glands and ducts are imperceptible at imaging. However, abnormalities of the Cowper glands and ducts are increasingly seen owing to increasing use of cross-sectional imaging. In this article, the authors present a comprehensive review of the normal anatomy of the Cowper glands and ducts and the clinical and imaging findings of conditions that affect them in an effort to help lead to appropriate diagnosis and management. A Cowper duct syringocele is a congenital or acquired dilatation of the Cowper duct in the bulb of the corpus spongiosum. Retrograde urethrography is the standard test to diagnose a communicating (open) Cowper duct syringocele, and MRI is used for further morphologic assessment. Cowperitis refers to inflammation of the gland and/or duct, and recurrent cowperitis is usually associated with an underlying syringocele, a urethral fistulous connection to the Cowper gland, or a perianal fistula. MRI allows detection of the underlying structural abnormality and the superimposed inflammation. Cowper stones are typically radiopaque and are found in both the Cowper gland and duct. A Cowper gland HHhemorrhagic cyst may be incidentally detected at MRI of the prostate, and follow-up MRI may be required to ensure evolution of hemorrhage and exclude an underlying neoplasm. Cowper gland carcinoma is rare and includes adenocarcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma subtypes. Transperineal US may be used for initial evaluation and CT and/or MRI are necessary for further characterization and staging. Cowper gland hyperplasia is a rare entity with few previous reports that may be incidentally detected at imaging and may mimic malignancy. ©RSNA, 2022.

Abstract
Polyurethane (PU) materials with movable crosslinking were prepared by a typical two-step synthetic process using an acetylated γ-cyclodextrin (TAcγCD) diol compound. The soft segment of PU is polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF), and the hard segment consists of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and 1,3-propylene glycol (POD). The synthesized PU materials exhibited the typical mechanical characteristics of a movable crosslinking network, and the presence of hydrogen bonds from the urethane bonds resulted in a synergistic effect. Two kinds of noncovalent bond crosslinking increased the Young's modulus of the material without affecting its toughness. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray scattering measurements were performed to analyze the effect of introducing movable crosslinking on the internal hydrogen bond and the microphase separation structure of PU, and the results showed that the carbonyl groups on TAcγCD could form hydrogen bonds with the PU chains and that the introduction of movable crosslinking weakened the hydrogen bonds between the hard segments of PU. When stretched, the movable crosslinking of the PU materials suppressed the orientation of polymer chains (shish-kebab orientation) in the tensile direction. The mechanical properties of the movable crosslinked PU materials show promise for future application in the industrial field.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the utility of a novel metal artifact reduction algorithm to standard imaging in improving visualization of key structures, diagnostic confidence, and patient-level confidence in malignancy in patients with suspected bladder cancer. METHODS Patients with hip implants undergoing CT urography for suspected bladder malignancy were enrolled. Images were reconstructed using 3 methods: (1) Filtered Back Projection (FBP), (2) Iterative Metal Artifact Reduction (iMAR), and (3) Adaptive Iterative Metal Artifact Reduction (AiMAR) strength 4. In multiple reading sessions, three radiologists graded visualization of critical anatomic structures and artifact severity (6-point scales, lower scores desirable), and diagnostic confidence in blinded fashion. They also graded patient-level confidence in malignancy based on imaging findings in each patient. RESULTS Thirty-two patients (8 females) with a mean age of 74.5 ± 8.5 years were included. The median (range) visualization scores for FBP, iMAR, and AiMAR were 3.6 (1.1-4.9), 1.6 (0.3-2.8), and 1.6 (0.3-2.6), respectively. Both iMAR and AiMAR had anatomic visualization and artifact scores better than FBP (P < 0.001 for both) and similar to each other (P > 0.05). Structures with the most improvement in visualization score with the use of metal artifact reduction algorithms included the obturator internus muscle, internal and external iliac nodal chains, and vagina. iMAR and AiMAR improved diagnostic confidence (P < 0.001) and patient-level confidence in malignancy (P ≤ 0.24). CONCLUSION For patients with hip prostheses and suspected bladder malignancy, the use of iMAR or AiMAR was shown to significantly reduce metal artifacts, thus improving diagnostic confidence and patient-level confidence in malignancy.

Abstract
BackgroundGenome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified 29 disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for systemic sclerosis (SSc) in non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) regions (1-7). While these GWASs have clarified genetic architectures of SSc, study subjects were mainly Caucasians limiting application of the findings to Asians.ObjectivesThe study was conducted to identify novel causal variants for SSc specific to Japanese subjects as well as those shared with European population. We also aimed to clarify mechanistic effects of the variants on pathogenesis of SSc.MethodsA total of 114,108 subjects comprising 1,499 cases and 112,609 controls were enrolled in the two-staged study leading to the ever-largest Asian GWAS for SSc. After applying a strict quality control both for genotype and samples, imputation was conducted using the reference panel of the phase 3v5 1,000 genome project data combined with a high-depth whole-genome sequence data of 3,256 Japanese subjects. We conducted logistic regression analyses and also combined the Japanese GWAS results with those of Europeans (6) by an inverse-variance fixed-effect model. Polygenicity and enrichment of functional annotations were evaluated by linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), Haploreg and IMPACT programs. We also constructed polygenic risk score (PRS) to predict SSc development.ResultsWe identified three (FCRLA-FCGR, TNFAIP3, PLD4) and four (EOMES, ESR1, SLC12A5, TPI1P2) novel loci in Japanese GWAS and a trans-population meta-analysis, respectively. One of Japanese novel risk SNPs, rs6697139, located within FCGR gene clusters had a strong effect size (OR 2.05, P=4.9×10-11). We also found the complete LD variant, rs10917688, was positioned in cis-regulatory element and binding motif for an immunomodulatory transcription factor IRF8 in B cells, another genome-wide significant locus in our trans-ethnic meta-analysis and the previous European GWAS. Notably, the association of risk allele of rs10917688 was significant only in the presence of the risk allele of the IRF8. Intriguingly, rs10917688 was annotated as one enhancer-related histone marks, H3K4me1, in B cells, implying that FCGR gene(s) in B cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SSc. Furhtermore, significant heritability enrichment of active histone marks and a transcription factor C-Myc were found in B cells both in European and Japanese populations by LDSC and IMPACT, highlighting a possibility of a shared disease mechanism where abnormal B-cell activation may be one of the key drivers for the disease development. Finally, PRS using effects sizes of European GWAS moderately fit in the development of Japanese SSc (AUC 0.593), paving a path to personalized medicine for SSc.ConclusionOur study identified seven novel susceptibility loci in SSc. Downstream analyses highlighted a novel disease mechanism of SSc where an interactive role of FCGR gene(s) and IRF8 may accelerate the disease development and B cells may play a key role on the pathogenesis of SSc.References[1]F.

Abstract
Introduction Occupational burnout has become a pervasive problem in human services. Medical professionals are particularly vulnerable to burnout, which may lead to reduced motivation, medical errors, and voluntary absenteeism. To ensure effect functioning of medical systems, better understanding of burnout among medical professionals is warranted. Objectives We aimed to investigate the structural brain correlates of burnout severity among medical professionals. Methods
Nurses in active service underwent structural magnetic resonance imaging. We assessed their burnout severity using self-reported psychological questionnaires. This study was approved by the Committee on Medical Ethics of Kyoto University and was conducted in accordance with the Code of Ethics of the World Medical Association. Results
The results reflected considerable individual differences in burnout severity in our sample. Our findngs revealed that the levels of burnout severity were associated with the regional gray matter volumes in brain areas such as ventromedial prefrontal cortex and insula. Conclusions Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, medical professionals have faced even greater stress. We hope that our findings will contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms of burnout and offer useful insights for developing effective interventions to manage stress and burnout.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endocytoscopy (ECS) enables microscopic observation in vivo for the gastrointestinal mucosa; however, there has been no prospective study in which the diagnostic accuracy of ECS for lesions that have not yet undergone histological diagnosis was evaluated. We conducted a surveillance study for patients in a high-risk group of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and evaluated the in vivo histological diagnostic accuracy of ECS. METHODS This study was a multicenter prospective study. We enrolled 197 patients in the study between September 1, 2019 and November 30, 2020. The patients first underwent white light imaging and narrow band imaging, and ultra-high magnifying observation was performed if there was a lesion suspected to be an esophageal tumor. Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was later performed for lesions that were diagnosed to be ESCC by ECS without biopsy. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of ECS for esophageal tumorous lesions. RESULTS ESD was performed for 37 patients (41 lesions) who were diagnosed as having ESCC by ECS, and all of them were histopathologically diagnosed as having ESCC. The sensitivity [95% confidence interval (CI)] was 97.6% (87.7-99.7%), specificity (95% CI) was 100% (92.7-100%), diagnostic accuracy (95% CI) was 98.9% (94.0-99.8%), positive predictive value (PPV) (95% CI) was 100% (91.4-100%) and negative predictive value (NPV) (95% CI) was 98.0% (89.5-99.7%). CONCLUSIONS ECS has a high diagnostic accuracy and there were no false positives in cases diagnosed and resected as ESCC. Optical biopsy by using ECS for esophageal lesions that are suspected to be tumorous is considered to be sufficient in clinical practice.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility of applying the advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to establish a combined ALI and radiologic risk prediction model for disease exacerbation. The present study included patients diagnosed with COVID-19 infection in our single institution from March to October 2020. Patients without clinical information and/or chest computed tomography (CT) upon admission were excluded. A radiologist assessed the CT severity score and abnormality on chest radiograph. The combined ALI and radiologic risk prediction model was developed via random forest classification. Among 79 patients (age, 43±19 years; male/female, 45:34), 72 experienced improvement and seven patients experienced exacerbation after admission. Significant differences were observed between the improved and exacerbated groups in the ALI (median, 47.6 vs. 13.2; P=0.011), frequency of chest radiograph abnormality (24.7 vs. 83.3%; P<0.001), and chest CT score (CCTS; median, 1 vs. 9; P<0.001). For the accuracy of predicting exacerbation, the receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated an area under the curve of 0.79 and 0.92 for the ALI and CCTS, respectively. The combined ALI and radiologic risk prediction model had a sensitivity of 1.00 and a specificity of 0.81. Overall, ALI alone and CCTS alone modestly predicted the exacerbation of COVID-19, and the combined ALI and radiologic risk prediction model exhibited decent sensitivity and specificity.

Abstract
The differential cross sections of the Σ^{-}p→Λn reaction were measured accurately for the Σ^{-} momentum (p_{Σ}) ranging from 470 to 650 MeV/c at the J-PARC Hadron Experimental Facility. Precise angular information about the Σ^{-}p→Λn reaction was obtained for the first time by detecting approximately 100 reaction events at each angular step of Δcosθ=0.1. The obtained differential cross sections show a slightly forward-peaking structure in the measured momentum regions. The cross sections integrated for -0.7≤cosθ≤1.0 were obtained as 22.5±0.68 [statistical error(stat.)] ±0.65 [systematic error(syst.)] mb and 15.8±0.83(stat)±0.52(syst) mb for 470<p_{Σ}(MeV/c)<550 and 550<p_{Σ}(MeV/c)<650, respectively. These results show a drastic improvement compared with past measurements of the hyperon-proton scattering experiments. They will play essential roles in updating the theoretical models of the baryon-baryon interactions.

Abstract
Eye-tracking techniques can be used to understand the visual search process in diagnostic radiology. Nonetheless, most prior eye-tracking studies in CT only involved single cross-sectional images or video playback of the reconstructed volume and meanwhile applied strong constraints to reader-image interactivity, yielding a disconnection between the corresponding experimental setup and clinical reality. To overcome this limitation, we developed an eye-tracking system that integrates eye-tracking hardware with in-house-built image viewing software. This system enabled recording of radiologists' real-time eye-movement and interactivity with the displayed images in clinically relevant tasks. In this work, the system implementation was demonstrated, and the spatial accuracy of eye-tracking data was evaluated using digital phantom images and patient CT angiography exam. The measured offset between targets and gaze points was comparable to that of many prior eye-tracking systems (The median offset: phantom - visual angle ~0.8°; patient CTA - visual angle ~0.7 - 1.3°). Further, the eye-tracking system was used to record radiologists' visual search in a liver lesion detection task with contrast-enhanced abdominal CT. From the measured data, several variables were found to correlate with radiologists' sensitivity, e.g., mean sensitivity of readers with longer interpretation time was higher than that of the others (88 ± 3% vs 78 ± 10%; p < 0.001). In summary, the proposed eye-tracking system has the potential of providing high-quality data to characterize radiologists' visual-search process in clinical CT tasks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical usefulness among three different semiquantitative computed tomography (CT) severity scoring systems for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. METHODS Two radiologists independently reviewed chest CT images in 108 patients to rate three CT scoring systems (total CT score [TSS], chest CT score [CCTS], and CT severity score [CTSS]). We made a minor modification to CTSS. Quantitative dense area ratio (QDAR: the ratio of lung involvement to lung parenchyma) was calculated using the U-net model. Clinical severity at admission was classified as severe (n = 14) or mild (n = 94). Interobserver agreement, interpretation time, and degree of correlation with clinical severity as well as QDAR were evaluated. RESULTS Interobserver agreement was excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient: 0.952-0.970, p < 0.001). Mean interpretation time was significantly longer in CTSS (48.9-80.0 s) than in TSS (25.7-41.7 s, p < 0.001) and CCTS (27.7-39.5 s, p < 0.001). Area under the curve for differentiating clinical severity at admission was 0.855-0.842 in TSS, 0.853-0.850 in CCTS, and 0.853-0.836 in CTSS. All scoring systems correlated with QDAR in the order of CCTS (ρ = 0.443-0.448), TSS (ρ = 0.435-0.437), and CTSS (ρ = 0.415-0.426). CONCLUSIONS All semiquantitative scoring systems demonstrated substantial diagnostic performance for clinical severity at admission with excellent interobserver agreement. Interpretation time was significantly shorter in TSS and CCTS than in CTSS. The correlation between the scoring system and QDAR was highest in CCTS, followed by TSS and CTSS. CCTS appeared to be the most appropriate CT scoring system for clinical practice. KEY POINTS • Three semiquantitative scoring systems demonstrate substantial accuracy (area under the curve: 0.836-0.855) for diagnosing clinical severity at admission and (area under the curve: 0.786-0.802) for risk of developing critical illness. • Total CT score (TSS) and chest CT score (CCTS) were considered to be more appropriate in terms of clinical usefulness as compared with CT severity score (CTSS), given the shorter interpretation time in TSS and CCTS, and the lowest correlation with quantitative dense area ratio in CTSS. • CCTS is assumed to distinguish subtle from mild lung involvement better than TSS by adopting a 5% threshold in scoring the degree of severity.

Abstract
J-PARC E70 experiment measures the missing-mass of Ξ hypernuclei (12ΞBe) in Hadron Experimental Facility at J-PARC. We aim to reach the best missing-mass resolution of 2 MeV/c2 in FWHM with a new magnetic spectrometer S-2S. The high-resolution spectroscopy of Ξ hypernuclei will play an important role to understand the unknown ΞN interaction. The experiment will start at the beginning of 2023. This article presents the preparation status.
