Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the discriminative capabilities for the manifestation of sarcopenia or physical frailty between serum creatinine- and cystatin C-derived indices among community-dwelling older adults. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Primary Care and Community. PARTICIPANTS We utilized a subset of data from the Frail Elderly in the Sasayama-Tamba Area (FESTA) study, which was initiated in 2015 to gather comprehensive information on various health-related parameters among community-dwelling older individuals (age ≥65 years). MEASUREMENTS Five serum creatinine-cystatin C based indices including the Sarcopenia Index, the serum creatinine/cystatin C ratio, the disparity between serum cystatin-C-based and creatinine-based estimated GFR, the total body muscle mass index (TBMM), and the prediction equation for skeletal muscle mass index (pSMI) were employed. Sarcopenia and physical frailty were identified based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria and the revised Japanese version of the Cardiovascular Health Study criteria, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the discriminative abilities of these tools. RESULTS In the analysis of 954 participants, 52 (5.5%) were identified with sarcopenia and 35 (3.7%) with physical frailty. Regarding sarcopenia discrimination, TBMM and pSMI both exhibited area under the curve (AUC) values exceeding 0.8 for both men and women. Concerning the identification of physical frailty, AUC values ranged from 0.61 to 0.77 for males and 0.50 to 0.69 for females. In the multivariate logistic regression analyses, only TBMM and pSMI consistently displayed associations with sarcopenia, irrespective of sex (P<0.001, respectively). On the other hand, no consistent associations were observed between the indices and physical frailty. CONCLUSIONS This study provides a robust association of a serum creatinine- and cystatin C-derived indices, especially TBMM and pSMI, with sarcopenia among community-dwelling older adults. Conversely, the application of these indices for the screening of physical frailty has its constraints, necessitating further investigation.

Abstract
A 39-year-old vegan man was admitted with diabetic ketoacidosis. He had also developed pneumonia that was unresponsive to antibiotics. Based on bronchoscopy findings, the diagnosis of Candida pneumonia was made, and the pulmonary shadow disappeared rapidly after antifungal therapy. Candida pneumonia has been mostly reported in severely immunocompromised patients. This is a rare case of Candida pneumonia that was found in a young vegan man with diabetes mellitus (DM). Although malnutrition caused by DM or an unbalanced diet is often underestimated as a cause of immunodeficiency, these conditions can be risk factors for serious opportunistic infections, including Candida pneumonia.

Abstract
We proposed a bimodal artificial intelligence that integrates patient information with images to diagnose spinal cord tumors. Our model combines TabNet, a state-of-the-art deep learning model for tabular data for patient information, and a convolutional neural network for images. As training data, we collected 259 spinal tumor patients (158 for schwannoma and 101 for meningioma). We compared the performance of the image-only unimodal model, table-only unimodal model, bimodal model using a gradient-boosting decision tree, and bimodal model using TabNet. Our proposed bimodal model using TabNet performed best (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve [AUROC]: 0.91) in the training data and significantly outperformed the physicians' performance. In the external validation using 62 cases from the other two facilities, our bimodal model showed an AUROC of 0.92, proving the robustness of the model. The bimodal analysis using TabNet was effective for differentiating spinal tumors.

Abstract
Image-based deep learning (IBDL) is an advanced technique for predicting the surface irradiation conditions of laser surface processing technology. In pulsed-laser surface processing techniques, the number of superimposed laser shots is one of the fundamental and essential parameters that should be optimized for each material. Our primary research aims to build an adequate dataset using laser-irradiated surface images and to successfully predict the number of superimposed shots using the pre-trained deep convolutional neural network (CNN) models. First, the laser shot experiments were performed on copper targets using a nanosecond YAG laser with a wavelength of 532 nm. Then, the training data were obtained with the different superimposed shots of 1 to 1024 in powers of 2. After that, we used several pre-trained deep CNN models to predict the number of superimposed laser shots. Based on the dataset with 1936 images, VGG16 shows a high validation accuracy, higher sensitivity, and more than 99% precision than other deep CNN models. Utilizing the VGG16 model with high sensitivity could positively impact the industries' time, efficiency, and overall production.

Abstract
Werner syndrome is an adult-onset progeria syndrome that results in various complications. This study aimed to clarify the profile and secular variation of the disease. Fifty-one patients were enrolled and registered in the Werner Syndrome Registry. Their data were collected annually following registration. A cross-sectional analysis at registration and a longitudinal analysis between the baseline and each subsequent year was performed. Pearson's chi-squared and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were used. Malignant neoplasms were observed from the fifth decade of life (mean onset: 49.7 years) and were observed in approximately 30% of patients during the 3-year survey period. Regarding renal function, the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated from serum creatinine (eGFRcre) and eGFRcys, which were calculated from cystatin C in the first year, were 98.3 and 83.2 mL/min/1.73 m2, respectively, and differed depending on the index used. In longitudinal analysis, the average eGFRcre for the first and fourth years was 74.8 and 63.4 mL/min/1.73 m2, showing a rapid decline. Secular changes in Werner syndrome in multiple patients were identified. The prevalence of malignant neoplasms is high, and renal function may decline rapidly. It is, therefore, necessary to carry out active and detailed examinations and pay attention to the type and dose of the drugs used.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The electrical pulmonary vein (PV) isolation has been established as a curative therapy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Arctic Front™cryoballoon has been used worldwide for AF cryoablation. Recently, a new cryoballoon, POLARxTM CRYOABLATION system have been introduced, of which material of the balloon is softer and the N2O gas flow rate is higher.
Purpose
The aim was to investigate the procedural parameter and efficacy of POLARx comparing with Arctic Front.
Methods
This retrospective single center study included 101 consecutive patients who underwent paroxysmal AF ablation using cryoballoon at Keio University hospital from April 2021 to March 2022. The procedural data including the cryoballoon temperature and the number and duration of cryoablation were compared between POLARx (POLARx group) and ARCTIC FRONT ADVANCE PRO (AFA group). After the cryoablation, we added the radiofrequency application in order to maximize the isolated area when the voltage was remained inside PV (Figure 1). The necessities of the additional radiofrequency applications were also compared.
Results
In the present study, 64 patients in AFA group and 37 patients in POLARx group were analyzed. POLARx group included younger population and less females (62.8±9.9 vs 67.5±9.4 year of age, P=0.02; 13.5 vs 32.8%, P=0.04). There was no significant difference in comorbidities and examination data such as left atrium diameter or brain natriuretic peptide level. The minimal cryoballoon temperatures reached in POLARx group were lower than AFA group (−59.3±6.2 vs −47.7±7.5°C, P<0.01). No difference was found in the total number and duration of cryoablation and the time to isolate PV (6.1±2.1 vs 5.9±1.6, P=0.69; 790.2±256.1 vs 776.1±235.0 sec, P=0.69; 41.8±21.3 vs 47.1±29.6 sec, P=0.44, respectively). With regard to individual PVs, the total number and duration were tended to be larger at right superior PV in POLARx group (1.9±1.1 vs 1.4±0.7, P=0.01; 231.8±123.8 vs 193.2±83.0 sec, P=0.07), while there was no significant difference at the other PVs. The rate of successful PV isolation by a single cryo-application was not different between AFA and POLARx group (54.3 vs 61.4%, P=0.17). The additional radiofrequency applications were more frequent in AFA group (14.8 vs. 4.9%, P=0.003). There was a significant difference at right inferior PV (32.8 vs 8.1%, P=0.01), while not at left superior PV, left inferior PV and right superior PV (9.4 vs 2.9%, P=0.42; 9.4 vs 5.7%, P=0.71; 7.8 vs 2.7%, P=0.41). Phrenic nerve injury was occurred 1 case in both group and esophageal ulcer was occurred in 1 case in AFA group. No other complication including cardiac tamponade was occurred.
Conclusion
The total number and duration of cryoablation were not significantly different between AFA and POLARx group, except for right superior PV. There was an advantage in largely isolating right inferior PV in POLARx group comparing with AFA group.

Abstract
A 78-year-old man presented with back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed marrow edema within the L4 and L5 vertebral bodies and a spinal epidural abscess in the spinal canal. The patient was considered to have pyogenic spondylodiscitis at the L4/L5 level. The Gram-positive cocci isolated from blood cultures were subsequently identified as Gemellasanguinis using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Symptom improvement was achieved and the infection was eradicated with conservative treatment (treatment with ceftriaxone [CTRX] and minocycline [MINO]). We report the first case of G. sanguinis-associated pyogenic spondylodiscitis. MALDI-TOF MS was useful in identifying this uncommon bacterium.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) have been clinically applied for induction of bone formation in musculoskeletal disorders such as critical-sized bone defects, nonunions, and spinal fusion surgeries. However, the use of supraphysiological doses of BMP caused adverse events, which were sometimes life-threatening. Therefore, safer treatment strategies for bone regeneration have been sought for decades. Systemic administration of a potent selective antagonist of retinoic acid nuclear receptor gamma (RARγ) (7C) stimulated BMP-induced ectopic bone formation. In this study, we developed 7C-loaded poly lactic nanoparticles (7C-NPs) and examined whether local application of 7C enhances BMP-induced bone regeneration. The collagen sponge discs that absorbed recombinant human (rh) BMP-2 were implanted into the dorsal fascia of young adult mice to induce ectopic bone. The combination of rhBMP-2 and 7C-NP markedly increased the total bone volume and thickness of the bone shell of the ectopic bone in a dose-dependent manner compared to those with rhBMP-2 only. 7C stimulated sulfated proteoglycan production, expression of chondrogenic marker genes, and Sox9 reporter activity in both chondrogenic cells and MSCs. The findings suggest that selective RARγ antagonist 7C or the related compounds potentiate the bone inductive ability of rhBMP-2, as well as support any future research to improve the BMP-2 based bone regeneration procedures in a safe and efficient manner.

Abstract
Regeneration of large bone defects caused by trauma or tumor resection remains one of the biggest challenges in orthopedic surgery. Because of the limited availability of autograft material, the use of artificial bone is prevalent; however, the primary role of currently available artificial bone is restricted to acting as a bone graft extender owing to the lack of osteogenic ability. To explore whether surface modification might enhance artificial bone functionality, in this study we applied low-pressure plasma technology as next-generation surface treatment and processing strategy to chemically (amine) modify the surface of beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) artificial bone using a CH4/N2/He gas mixture. Plasma-treated β-TCP exhibited significantly enhanced hydrophilicity, facilitating the deep infiltration of cells into interconnected porous β-TCP. Additionally, cell adhesion and osteogenic differentiation on the plasma-treated artificial bone surfaces were also enhanced. Furthermore, in a rat calvarial defect model, the plasma treatment afforded high bone regeneration capacity. Together, these results suggest that amine modification of artificial bone by plasma technology can provide a high osteogenic ability and represents a promising strategy for resolving current clinical limitations regarding the use of artificial bone.

Abstract
Osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation/replenishment are closely coupled in bone metabolism. Anabolic parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is commonly used for treating osteoporosis, shifts the balance from osteoclastic to osteoblastic, although it is unclear how these cells are coordinately regulated by PTH. Here, we identify a serine protease inhibitor, secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), as a critical mediator that is involved in the PTH-mediated shift to the osteoblastic phase. Slpi is highly upregulated in osteoblasts by PTH, while genetic ablation of Slpi severely impairs PTH-induced bone formation. Slpi induction in osteoblasts enhances its differentiation, and increases osteoblast-osteoclast contact, thereby suppressing osteoclastic function. Intravital bone imaging reveals that the PTH-mediated association between osteoblasts and osteoclasts is disrupted in the absence of SLPI. Collectively, these results demonstrate that SLPI regulates the communication between osteoblasts and osteoclasts to promote PTH-induced bone anabolism.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), which are self-assemblies of metal ions and organic ligands, provide a tunable platform to search a new state of matter. A two-dimensional (2D) perfect kagome lattice, whose geometrical frustration is a key to realizing quantum spin liquids, has been formed in the π - d conjugated 2D MOF [Cu3(C6S6)] n (Cu-BHT). The recent discovery of its superconductivity with a critical temperature T c of 0.25 kelvin raises fundamental questions about the nature of electron pairing. Here, we show that Cu-BHT is a strongly correlated unconventional superconductor with extremely low superfluid density. A nonexponential temperature dependence of superfluid density is observed, indicating the possible presence of superconducting gap nodes. The magnitude of superfluid density is much smaller than those in conventional superconductors and follows the Uemura's relation of strongly correlated superconductors. These results imply that the unconventional superconductivity in Cu-BHT originates from electron correlations related to spin fluctuations of kagome lattice.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare cerebral oxyhemoglobin (O2Hb) levels during incremental exercise by cycling vs. arm cranking in 12 healthy adult men aged 20.8 ± 0.2 years old. O2Hb was measured by near-infrared spectroscopy. Regions of interest included the left and right prefrontal cortices (LtPFC and RtPFC, respectively), the left and right premotor cortices (LtPMC and RtPMC, respectively), and the supplementary motor area (SMA) bilaterally. After 4 min of rest, 4 min of warm-up was performed by using ergometer followed by incremental exercise (increasing work rate by 5 W/min for arm cranking and 20 W/min for cycling exercise). All values were averaged every tenth of the participant's exercise time period from beginning of incremental exercise to end point. At the middle exercise intensity (50% exercise time), the averaged O2Hb values obtained at all regions of interest seemed to be higher during arm cranking exercise as compared to cycling; however, there were no significant differences between two types of exercise. At the end point of incremental exercise (100% exercise time), the O2Hb obtained at all regions of interest was significantly higher during arm cranking exercise compared to cycling (LtPFC 0.081 ± 0.019 vs. -0.001 ± 0.013 mM·cm, RtPFC 0.076 ± 0.021 vs. 0.018 ± 0.015 mM·cm, SMA 0.012 ± 0.040 vs. 0.040 ± 0.016 mM·cm; arm cranking vs. cycling; p < 0.05, respectively). We conclude that exercise-induced cerebral oxygenation is greater with arm cranking than with leg cycling.

Abstract
The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) started the Research and Development (R&D) to improve nuclear prediction techniques for High Temperature Gas-cooled Reactors (HTGRs). The objectives are to introduce a generalized bias factor method to avoid full mock-up experiment for the first commercial HTGR and to introduce reactor noise analysis to High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) experiment to observe sub-criticality. To achieve the objectives, the reactor core of graphite-moderation system named B7/4”G2/8”p8EUNU+3/8”p38EU(1) was newly composed in the B-rack of Kyoto University Critical Assembly (KUCA). The core is composed of the fuel assembly, driver fuel assembly, graphite reflector, and polyethylene reflector. The fuel assembly is composed of enriched uranium plate, natural uranium plate and graphite plates to realize the average fuel enrichment of HTTR and it’s spectrum. However, driver fuel assembly is necessary to achieve the criticality with the small-sized core. The core plays a role of the reference core of the bias factor method, and the reactor noise was measured to develop the noise analysis scheme. In this study, the overview of the criticality experiments is reported. The reactor configuration with graphite moderation system is rare case in the KUCA experiments, and this experiment is expected to contribute not only for an HTGR development but also for other types of a reactor in the graphite moderation system such as a molten salt reactor development.

Abstract
Patients with Werner syndrome present with diverse signs of aging that begin in adolescence. A Japanese nationwide survey was conducted to establish a registry that could clarify the disease profile of patients with Werner syndrome. The questionnaires were sent to 7888 doctors. The survey identified 116 patients diagnosed with Werner syndrome based on the diagnosis criteria. Forty patients were enrolled in the registry. Data on clinical symptoms, treatment information, and laboratory examination from patients who provided informed consent were collected. The data at enrollment were analyzed. The patients’ average age at enrollment was 50.1±7.5 years. The mean onset age was 26.1±9.5 years, but the mean age at diagnosis was 42.5±8.6 years. Average height and weight of the study patients were lower than those of Japanese individuals. Almost all patients experienced hair change and cataracts. More than 60% of patients presented with glycolipid abnormalities. Overall, 15% of patients had a history of foot amputation. Approximately 30% of the patients’ parents had a consanguineous marriage. The average grip strength, walking speed, and skeletal muscle mass index met the diagnostic criteria for sarcopenia. The registry revealed that there are opportunities for early diagnosis and intervention; therefore, sensitization about the disease is needed.

Abstract
Bone homeostasis is dynamically regulated by a balance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. Visualizing and evaluating the dynamics of bone cells in vivo remain difficult using conventional technologies, including histomorphometry and imaging analysis. Over the past two decades, multiphoton microscopy, which can penetrate thick specimens, has been utilized in the field of biological imaging. Using this innovative technique, the in vivo dynamic motion of bone metabolism-related cells and their interactions has been revealed. In this review, we summarize previous approaches used for bone imaging and provide an overview of current bone tissue imaging methods using multiphoton excitation microscopy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Whether optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI) images can realize pathological diagnosis of coronary atherosclerotic plaques, and whether its diagnostic accuracy of lesion types varies depending on the personal experience of the clinician caring for coronary intervention have not been elucidated.
Purpose
This study investigated the interobserver variability in characterizing atherosclerotic plaque types by OFDI for multiple OFDI observers with levels of different experience.
Methods
Three-hundred-thirty-three histological cross-sections from 21 autopsy hearts were co-registered with the corresponding OFDI images. Histological cross-sections were classified into the following 7 lesion types according to the modified AHA atherosclerosis classification by a single experienced pathologist blinded for OCT findings: adaptive intimal thickening (AIT), intimal xanthoma (IX), pathological intimal thickening (PIT), fibrous cap atheroma (FA), fibrocalcific plaque (FC), calcified nodule (CN), and healed erosion/rupture (HER). The five OFDI observers, unaware of the histological diagnosis, provided a single diagnosis for each corresponding OFDI image. The OFDI observer 1 was an expert interventional cardiologist with sufficient experience in OFDI imaging, followed by the OFDI observer 2, 3, and 4 as middle career interventional cardiologists who had completed training ten, seven, and four years. The OFDI observer 5 was a young career interventional cardiologist. The diagnostic accuracy of lesion types for each OFDI observer was determined taking histology as a gold standard.
Results
On histological analysis, 13% of histological cross-sections were diagnosed as AIT, 5% as IX, 23% as PIT, 25% as FA, 27% as FC, 2% as CN, and 5% as HER. The overall agreement between OFDI diagnosis and histopathologic diagnosis for OFDI observer 1 to 5 was 77%, 62%, 61%, 56%, and 46% (k values of 0.71, 0.54, 0.54, 0.45, and 0.33), respectively. Although the performance for characterizing AIT and FC was excellent and comparable among all OFDI observers, the sensitivity and positive predictive value for characterizing IX, PIT and FA varied depending on the OFDI observers' years of experience (Table). The main causes of false-positive or -negative diagnosis of FA were IX and PIT for all OFDI observers.
Conclusion
The diagnostic accuracy of atherosclerotic tissue properties from OFDI images correlated with the observers' years of experience, subspecialty training in coronary imaging, which suggests that the interpretation of OFDI images requires expertise and can be challenging to a less experienced reader.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) is a widely used procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the anatomical change of pulmonary veins (PVs) and the risk factors of PV stenosis is less clear. We aimed to decipher the prevalence and the predictive factors for PV stenosis after CBA.
Methods
We analyzed the data of 320 PVs from 80 patients who underwent CBA for AF (age: 62±10 years, 59 males, 75 paroxysmal AF). All patients underwent pre- and post-procedural cardiac computed tomography (mean 6.7±3.3 months after ablation). We defined the PV stenosis when the cross sectional area of PV was less than 50% compared with that of PV before the CBA.
Results
The average cross sectional PV area decreased significantly after CBA (pre- vs. post-CBA; 2.4±1.0cm2 vs. 2.3±1.1cm2, P<0.001), whereas the volume of left atrium (LA) also decreased significantly (pre- vs. post-CBA; 75.0±23.2cm3 vs. 70.7±21.9cm3, P<0.001). There was a weak but significant correlation between the reduction rate of PV area and that of LA volume (Pearson's correlation coefficient 0.411, p<0.001). Only 6 PV stenosis were revealed, in which area reduction of more than 75% and 50–75% were observed in 2 PVs and 4 PVs, respectively. The incidence of PV stenosis was greater in female (male vs. female; 0.8% vs. 4.8%, P=0.043) and tend to be frequent in left PVs (left PVs vs. right PVs; 3.1% vs. 0.6%: P=0.107). Moreover, patients who developed PV stenosis tended to have lower weight and shorter height (PV stenosis group vs. non-PV stenosis group; 58.2±12.4kg vs. 67.7±13.0kg: P=0.078, 161.2±9.1cm vs. 167.2±8.8cm: P=0.094). There were no significant differences in the number of freezing, minimum temperature and total freezing time between PV stenosis group and non-PV stenosis group.
Conclusions
The ostial PV area decreased significantly but little after CBA, possibly due to LA reverse remodeling. The PV stenosis was more common in women and tend to be frequent in left PVs, lower weight, and shorter height patients, though severe stenosis after CBA was not observed in this study.

Abstract
Background Recently, intravenous magnesium therapy has been used for the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias, but data to establish a causal link between the electrophysiological properties and the antiarrhythmic actions are lacking. Methods and Results The acute antiarrhythmic effect of magnesium sulfate was assessed using epinephrine-, digitalis-, and coronary ligation-induced canine ventricular arrhythmia models. The intravenous administration of magnesium sulfate (100 mg/kg) reduced the incidence of the ventricular arrhythmias of all models. The antiarrhythmic effect on the epinephrine-induced arrhythmia was potent and long-lasting, while those on the other arrhythmia models were weak and transient. The direct cardiovascular effects were assessed using the canine isolated, blood-perfused sinus node, papillary muscle, and atrioventricular node preparations. The intracoronary administration of magnesium sulfate (0.1–30 mg) suppressed sinoatrial automaticity and ventricular contraction, while it increased atrio-His and His-ventricular conduction time, coronary blood flow, and the duration of monophasic action potential in a dose-dependent manner. The effects on His-ventricular conduction and monophasic action potential duration were less potent compared with the other cardiovascular effects. Conclusion These results suggest that magnesium sulfate possesses multiple electrophysiological properties and that the effects related to the calcium channel inhibition may be the most relevant for the antiarrhythmic actions.

Abstract
AIM To elucidate mechanisms by which mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokine mRNA expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. METHODOLOGY Mineral trioxide aggregate extracts were prepared by immersing set ProRoot MTA in culture medium. RAW264.7 cells were cultured in the presence of LPS and MTA extracts. mRNA expression levels of interleukin (IL)-1α, IL-6, early growth response 2 (Egr2), suppressor of cytokine signalling 3 (Socs3) and IL-10 were quantified with reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Phosphorylation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 in RAW264.7 cells was analysed by Western blotting. Intracellular calcium imaging was performed with Fluo-4 AM. The activity of nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) was determined by luciferase assays. Enforced expression and silencing of Egr2 in RAW264.7 cells were carried out using an expression vector and specific RNAi, respectively. In vivo kinetics of Egr2+ cells in MTA-treated rat molar pulp tissues were examined using immunohistochemistry. Data were analysed by one-way analysis of variance, followed by the Tukey-Kramer test (P < 0.05). RESULTS Exposure to MTA extracts resulted in reduced mRNA expression levels of IL-1α and IL-6, as well as reduced expression of phosphorylated NF-κB, in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Exposure to MTA extracts induced Ca2+ influx, which was blocked by NPS2143, an antagonist of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR); Ca2+ influx then triggered activation of calcineurin/NFAT signalling and enhanced mRNA expression of Egr2. Enforced expression of Egr2 in RAW264.7 cells promoted the expression of both IL-10 and Socs3. In vivo application of MTA onto rat molar pulp tissue resulted in the appearance of Egr2-expressing cells that coexpressed CD163, a typical M2 macrophage marker. CONCLUSIONS Mineral trioxide aggregate extracts induced downregulation of IL-1α and IL-6 in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells via CaSR-induced activation of calcineurin/NFAT/Egr2 signalling and subsequent upregulation of IL-10 and Socs3.

Abstract
Hartsfield syndrome (HS: OMIM 615465) is a rare congenital disease associated with a mutation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 gene (FGFR1) with the main features of holoprosencephaly and ectrodactyly. Patients with HS also present with endocrinological deficits, such as isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and central diabetes insipidus. Although there are several studies on infancy/childhood history, there is no study of infant/childhood/adolescent/young adult HS natural history and endocrinological findings. Here, we report a male patient with HS associated with a novel de novo FGFR1 mutation (c. 1868A > C). The endocrinological profile was evaluated at ages 1 and 31 years. This long-term follow-up study highlights functional changes in the posterior pituitary gland and features of bone metabolism disorder. We also describe the anterior pituitary function. To our knowledge this is the first description of the natural history of an HS patient through birth to young adult age. Although the HS infants reported in the literature develop central diabetes insipidus, little is known about the serial changes in pituitary gland function during growth in HS patients. In this study we describe an adult patient with HS who showed improvement of hypernatremia during early adulthood. In addition, we emphasize the importance of prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in HS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CONTEXT The effects of using off-label recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-2 for interbody fusion are controversial. Although animal models of posterolateral fusion are well-established, establishing animal models to validate the safety and efficacy of interbody fusion is difficult, which may contribute to the inconsistent clinical results. PURPOSE To develop a novel animal model of interbody fusion in rat coccygeal vertebrae without destroying bony endplates. STUDY DESIGN An experimental animal study. METHODS Forty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent coccygeal interbody fusion without violating vertebral endplates. The animals were divided into three different groups based on the materials that were implanted into the interbody space (1) allogeneic iliac bone (IB) alone (IB group), (2) IB and 3 µg of rhBMP-2 (BMP low-dose group), or (3) IB and 10 µg of rhBMP-2 (BMP high-dose group). Fusion rates were investigated using microcomputed tomography 6 weeks after the operation. The incidence of adverse events, including soft-tissue swelling, delayed wound healing, osteolysis, and ectopic bone formation were evaluated. The total number of adverse events (using the adverse event score) in each group and the swelling ratio (calculated using the surgical site tissue volume [TV; TV on postoperative day 1/preoperative TV]) were also evaluated. RESULTS The fusion rates in the BMP low- and high-dose groups (33.3% and 46.7%) were not significantly different, but both were significantly higher than that in the IB group (0%) (p=.042 and .006, respectively). Significant differences in the incidence of osteolysis, adverse event scores, and swelling ratios were observed only between the BMP high-dose and IB groups (p=.043, .006 and .014, respectively). CONCLUSIONS We developed a novel rat model of interbody fusion in which the vertebral endplates were not violated, reflecting the normal clinical setting. rhBMP-2 use increased the fusion rate, but a higher dose of rhBMP-2 did not lead to a higher fusion rate than that for low-dose rhBMP-2; conversely, it led to an increase in the occurrence of adverse events. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This novel rat model of coccygeal interbody fusion that preserved bony endplates has clinical significance for validating the effectiveness of biologics or bone graft substitutes before clinical trial.

Abstract
Substance abuse disorder continues to have devastating consequences for individuals and society and current therapies are not sufficient to provide the magnitude of medical impact required. Although some evidence suggests the use of ketamine in treating various substance use related- symptoms, its adverse event profile including dissociation, dysphoria, and abuse liability limit its potential as a therapy. Here, we outline experiments to test our hypothesis that (R)-ketamine can both alleviate withdrawal symptoms and produce effects that help sustain abstinence. In morphine-dependent rats, (R)-ketamine alleviated naloxone-precipitated withdrawal signs. (R)-ketamine also blocked morphine-induced place preference in mice without inducing place preference on its own. We also evaluated whether (R)-ketamine would induce anhedonia, a counter-indicated effect for a drug abuse treatment agent. S-(+)- but not R-(-)-ketamine produced anhedonia-like responses in rats that electrically self-stimulated the medial forebrain bundle (ICSS). However, time-course studies of ICSS are needed to fully appreciate these differences. These data begin to support the claim that (R)-ketamine will dampen withdrawal symptoms and drug liking, factors known to contribute to the cycle of drug addiction. In addition, these data suggest that (R)-ketamine would not produce negative mood or anhedonia that could interfere with treatment. It is suggested that continued investigation of (R)-ketamine as a novel therapeutic for substance abuse disorder be given consideration by the preclinical and clinical research communities. This suggestion is further encouraged by a recent report on the efficacy of (R)-ketamine in treatment-resistant depressed patients at a dose with little measurable dissociative side-effects.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 plays a central role in bone-tissue engineering because of its potent bone-induction ability. However, the process of BMP-induced bone formation in vivo remains poorly elucidated. Here, we aimed to establish a method for intravital imaging of the entire process of BMP-2-induced ectopic bone formation. Using multicolor intravital imaging in transgenic mice, we visualized the spatiotemporal process of bone induction, including appearance and motility of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, angiogenesis, collagen-fiber formation, and bone-mineral deposition. Furthermore, we investigated how PTH1-34 affects BMP-2-induced bone formation, which revealed that PTH1-34 administration accelerated differentiation and increased the motility of osteoblasts, whereas it decreased morphological changes in osteoclasts. This is the first report on visualization of the entire process of BMP-2-induced bone formation using intravital imaging techniques, which, we believe, will contribute to our understanding of ectopic bone formation and provide new parameters for evaluating bone-forming activity.

Abstract
The present study aimed to develop and validate a model for predicting the need for emergency front-of neck airway (eFONA) procedures among trauma patients. This was a multicentre retrospective cohort study using data from the Japan Trauma Data Bank between January 2004 and December 2017. Only adult trauma patients were included. The cohort was divided into development and validation cohorts. A simple scoring system was developed to predict the necessity for emergency front-of neck airway procedures in the development cohort using a logistic regression model. The external validity and diagnostic ability of the scoring system was assessed in the validation cohort. In total, 198,182 out of 294,274 patients were included; emergency front-of-neck airway occurred in 467 patients (0.24%) they were divided into development (n = 100,120 with 0.22% undergoing emergency front-of neck airway) and validation (n = 98,062 with 0.25% undergoing emergency front-of neck airway) cohorts. The 'eFONA' prediction scoring system was developed in the development cohort, with a score of +1 for each of the following: Eye opening (no eye opening in response to any stimuli); Fall from height or motor bike; Oral-maxillofacial injury; Neck tracheal injury; and Airway management by paramedics. In the validation cohort, the C-statistic of the scoring system was 0.820. Setting the cut-off value at one for rule-out, the sensitivity and negative likelihood ratios were 0.86 and 0.22, respectively. Setting the cut-off value at two for rule-in, the specificity and positive likelihood ratios were 0.91 and 6.6, respectively. The present scoring system may assist in predicting the need for emergency front-of neck airway procedures among the general trauma population.

Abstract
Background
Recent guidelines have stated that reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is the gold standard marker for identifying patients at risk for cardiac mortality. Although reduced LVEF identifies patients at an increased risk of cardiac arrest, sudden cardiac deaths (SCDs) occur considerably more often in patients with relatively preserved LVEF. Current guidelines on SCD risk stratification do not adequately cover this general population pool. Several noninvasive electrocardiographic (ECG) risk stratifiers that reflect depolarization abnormality, repolarization abnormality, and autonomic imbalance have been evaluated so far. With current therapeutic advances using new medicines or devices, an LVEF is often preserved in patients with structural heart disease (SHD). However, the usefulness of noninvasive ECG markers for risk stratification in such a patient population has not yet been elucidated.

This study aimed to assess clinical indices and ECG markers based on 24-hour Holter ECG recordings for predicting cardiac mortality in patients with SHD who have left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) but relatively preserved LVEF.
Methods
In total, 1,829 patients were enrolled into the Japanese Multicenter Observational Prospective Study (JANIES study). In this study, we analyzed data of 719 patients (569 men, age 64±13 years) with SHD including mainly ischemic heart disease (65.8%). As ECG markers based on 24-hour Holter recordings, nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT), ventricular late potentials, and heart rate turbulence (HRT) were assessed. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality, and the secondary endpoint was fatal arrhythmic events.
Results
During a mean follow-up of 21±11 months, all-cause mortality was eventually observed in 39 patients (5.4%). Among those patients, 32 patients (82%) suffered from cardiac causes such as heart failure and arrhythmia. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that after adjustment for age and LVEF, documented NSVT (hazard ratio=2.82, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.38–5.76, P=0.005) and abnormal HRT (hazard ratio=2.31, 95% CI: 1.15–4.65, P=0.02) were significantly associated with the primary endpoint. These two ECG markers also had significant predictive values with the secondary endpoint. The combined assessment documented NSVT and abnormal HRT improved predictive accuracy.
Conclusion
This study demonstrated that combined assessment of documented NSVT and abnormal HRT based on 24-hour Holter ECG recordings are recommended for predicting future serious events in SHD patients who have relatively preserved LVEF.

Abstract
AIM In the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, autoantibodies have two-facedness of progression and protection. Previous reports have indicated that low autoantibody levels against apolipoprotein B-100 (apo B-100) could increase the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in healthy subjects. In this study, we investigated the relationship between circulating anti-apo B-100 autoantibodies and the clinical parameters in Japanese diabetic patients with or without CVD. METHODS We measured the serum levels of anti-apo B-100 autoantibodies against native and malondialdehyde (MDA)-modified p45 or p210 epitopes, as well as anti-apo E autoantibodies, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS In patients with CVD, the circulating levels of IgG against native p45, MDA-modified p45, and MDA-modified p210 (IgGN-45, IgGMDA-45, and IgGMDA-210) were significantly lower than those in patients without CVD, whereas no difference was observed in anti-apo E autoantibody levels. In addition, IgMN-45, IgMMDA-45, and IgGMDA-45 were negatively correlated with LDL-C levels, whereas IgGN-45 and IgGN-210 were positively correlated with HbA1c levels. No correlation was observed between autoantibody levels and diabetic microangiopathy. In the statin-treated subgroup, IgGMDA-45 and IgGMDA-210 were significantly lower in patients with CVD than in those without CVD. CONCLUSION Measurement of serum anti-apo B-100 autoantibodies can be useful for the evaluation of CVD risk in patients with diabetes receiving statin treatment.
