Abstract
We report a case of a 24-year-old previously healthy Japanese man who presented to the emergency department due to cardiopulmonary arrest lasting for 4 min. He had complained of chest pain and worsening dyspnea but was well until 3 days before admission. He had no history of alcohol consumption. Marked lactic acidosis, high-output heart failure, and hypotension with widened pulse pressure led to a diagnosis of shoshin beriberi. The patient recovered successfully without any residual symptoms after appropriate thiamine therapy. Because of the complexity of the clinical presentation and the lack of rapid diagnostic tests, thiamine deficiency remains difficult to diagnose. In this patient, we suspected that shoshin beriberi was caused by long-term poor nutritional status secondary to a severe gambling addiction to Japanese pinball games, known as 'pachinko'. Alcoholism, long-term intravenous alimentation, and diuretic use are well-known causes. We should not miss the opportunity for early intervention, even in young non-alcoholic patients such as this case. If left untreated, patients may die from cardiopulmonary collapse within hours of symptom onset. Thiamine should be administered as soon as suspicion for thiamine deficiency arises, such as in conditions of widened pulse pressure in a young patient. Learning objective Alcoholism, long-term intravenous alimentation, and diuretic use are well-known causes of thiamine deficiency. However the complexity of the clinical presentation and the lack of rapid diagnostic tests make its diagnosis difficult. Shoshin beriberi is a fulminant form of this disease. We should not miss opportunities for early intervention. Thiamine should be administered as soon as its deficiency is suspected, such as in conditions of widened pulse pressure especially in a young patient.

Abstract
AIMS Serum uric acid increases with metabolic disorders; however, whether the effects of uric acid on atherosclerosis are different in females and males has not been sufficiently evaluated. Therefore, this study compared the impact of uric acid on arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis between females and males. METHODS We enrolled 10196 untreated middle-aged subjects (46±8 years, 3021 females and 7175 males) who underwent periodic health check-ups. Serum uric acid levels were measured and arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis were assessed by the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), and plaque, using ultrasound imaging. RESULTS Females with increased arterial stiffness (CAVI ≥ 8.0) or carotid plaques had higher uric acid than those without (P<0.0001), but males did not. In multivariable regression analyses including overall participants, uric acid was significantly associated with the CAVI, where sex interacted with uric acid. In sex-specific analyses, uric acid was significantly associated with the CAVI, but not with carotid IMT, in both sexes. However, logistic regression analyses revealed that serum uric acid was independently associated with the presence of carotid plaques in females. The exclusion of subjects with abdominal obesity or metabolic syndrome from the analysis did not alter the results in females. CONCLUSIONS Serum uric acid was significantly associated with the CAVI in both sexes, but the interaction of sex was confirmed and associated with a carotid plaque only in females. These findings support the increased impact of serum uric acid on arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis in females.

Abstract
AIMS Small arteries can be visualized in the ocular fundus, and findings of retinopathy based on Scheie classification are often applied to evaluate the impact of hypertension and atherosclerosis. However, the relationship between damage in the large and small arteries has not been investigated sufficiently, especially in the early stages. The present study investigated possible associations between large artery atherosclerosis and small artery retinopathy in untreated middle-aged individuals. METHODS Untreated middle-aged workers undergoing periodic health check-ups (n=7,730, 45±8 years) were enrolled in this study. The absence or presence and extent of retinopathy were characterized by ophthalmologists as hypertensive (H0-4) and atherosclerotic grades (S0-4) based on Scheie classification. Large artery atherosclerosis was examined based on functional assessment of the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and morphological assessment of the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) by ultrasound. RESULTS We found significant differences in CAVI and carotid IMT between individuals with and without hypertensive or atherosclerotic retinopathy. Multivariable regression analysis showed that the presence of hypertensive and atherosclerotic retinopathy was significantly associated with CAVI and carotid IMT. Logistic regression analysis with the endpoint of a hypertensive or atherosclerotic lesion revealed that CAVI and carotid IMT are independent determinants of retinopathy. CONCLUSIONS CAVI and carotid IMT were significantly associated with the presence of retinopathy based on Scheie classification in untreated middle-aged subjects, implying that atherosclerotic examination in large arteries could reveal early-stage small artery retinopathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A body shape index (ABSI) is a novel anthropometric measure calculated using waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI), and body height. This study investigated the usefulness of ABSI to identify individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and increased arterial stiffness in the middle-aged population. METHODS Middle-aged workers who underwent periodic health check-ups and who were without previous cardiovascular events were enrolled (n = 10,182). In addition to ABSI, visceral fat area (VFA) was evaluated using computed tomography. Obesity and MetS were diagnosed on the basis of WC, VFA, and ABSI. Arterial stiffness was examined by measuring the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). RESULTS ABSI was significantly associated with CAVI in multivariable regression analysis. Logistic regression analysis revealed that ABSI was independently associated with the presence of MetS diagnosed on the basis of WC or VFA after adjustment for potential confounders, including BMI. Subjects with MetS diagnosed on the basis of each obesity index showed higher CAVI values than those without. Among subjects with MetS diagnosed on the basis of WC or VFA, those with MetS who met the definition of ABSI obesity showed significantly higher CAVI than those who did not. The other logistic regression analysis demonstrated that CAVI was independently associated with MetS defined on the basis of ABSI. CONCLUSIONS ABSI was significantly associated with CAVI and the presence of MetS in the middle-aged population and helped to discriminate individuals with MetS and increased CAVI. ABSI could serve to identify individuals with MetS and increased arterial stiffness.

Abstract
AIMS Cigarette smoking provokes deleterious influences on cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, although the underlying relationship has not been sufficiently investigated especially in early-stage disease. The present study investigated possible associations between subclinical atherosclerosis and pulmonary function in middle-aged male smokers. METHODS Male smokers undergoing their periodic health check-up were enrolled in this study (n=3,775, 45±8 years). Pulmonary function was evaluated using spirometry by calculating forced vital capacity (FVC) as a percentage of predicted value (FVC%-predicted), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) as a percentage of predicted value (FEV1%-predicted), and the ratio of FEV1 to FVC (FEV1/FVC). Subclinical atherosclerosis was assessed based on ankle-brachial pressure index (ABI), cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), ultrasound examination of the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), and presence of plaque. RESULTS Multivariate regression analysis showed that ABI was positively associated with FVC%-predicted and FEV1%-predicted after adjustment for confounders including smoking intensity, while CAVI or carotid IMT was inversely associated with both. Participants with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, n=256) showed reduced ABI and increased CAVI or carotid IMT compared with those without COPD, and participants with carotid plaque had lower pulmonary function than those without plaque. Reduced FEV1/FVC was an independent determinant of carotid plaque and decreased ABI was an independent determinant of COPD, as revealed by logistic regression analysis with the endpoint of carotid plaque presence or a diagnosis of COPD revealed. CONCLUSIONS Middle-aged male smokers showed a close association between subclinical atherosclerosis and pulmonary function, implying that smoking induced-vascular and pulmonary damage are interacting in early-stage disease.

Abstract
AIM The impact of glycaemic control on fracture risk is controversial, which may be due to the possible presence of hypoglycaemia. The aim of this study was to separately investigate the impacts of severe hypoglycaemia and poor glycaemic control on fracture risk in people with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Overall, 4706 Japanese participants (2755 men and 1951 postmenopausal women) with type 2 diabetes (mean age 66 years) were followed prospectively (a median of 5.3 years; follow-up rate, 97.6%), and were stratified by severe hypoglycaemia status and glycaemic control. The primary outcome was fractures at any anatomic site. RESULTS Fractures occurred in 662 participants (249 men and 413 women). The age- and sex-adjusted incidence rates (expressed per 1000 person-years) were: 71.2 (multiple episodes of severe hypoglycaemia), 43.1 (one episode), 25.2 [HbA1c < 53 mmol/mol (< 7%) without severe hypoglycaemia], 28.7 [HbA1c 53 to < 64 mmol/mol (7% to < 8%) without severe hypoglycaemia], 27.7 [HbA1c 64 to < 75 mmol/mol (8% to < 9%) without severe hypoglycaemia] and 40.5 [HbA1c ≥ 75 mmol/mol (≥ 9%) without severe hypoglycaemia]. Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for fractures were 2.24 (1.56, 3.21) in those with multiple episodes of severe hypoglycaemia, and 1.42 (1.04, 1.95) in those with HbA1c ≥ 75 mmol/mol (≥ 9%) without severe hypoglycaemia, compared with those with HbA1c < 53 mmol/mol (< 7%) without severe hypoglycaemia. CONCLUSIONS Both severe hypoglycaemia and poor glycaemic control were significantly related to an increased risk of fracture in people with type 2 diabetes, although severe hypoglycaemia conferred a stronger risk.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Work style, and particularly shift work, can affect an individual's health through disrupting circadian rhythms. Moreover, lifestyle habits including dietary and exercise routines might be altered by irregular shift hours. We thus hypothesized that an individual's lifestyle including working habits could influence the prevalence of visceral fat obesity and the progression of atherosclerosis.
Purpose
The present study investigated how lifestyle and shift work affect the accumulation of visceral fat and the progression of subclinical atherosclerosis in middle-aged workers.
Methods
This study enrolled employees undergoing their periodic health check-up (n=10883). The Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) was measured to assess arterial stiffness, followed by ultrasound examination and computed tomography imaging to measure carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and visceral fat area (VFA), respectively. Lifestyle was evaluated by the following items: 1) eating breakfast, 2) nighttime eating, 3) regular exercise, 4) habitual drinking, 5) habitual smoking, 6) sleeping hours, and 7) working hours. With regard to work factors, subjects were categorized into fixed daytime workers or shift workers (including subjects working with an irregular schedule, outside of daytime hours, or at nighttime).
Results
Among all subjects enrolled, 6820 subjects were fixed daytime workers and 4063 subjects were shift workers. Most of the employees engaged in fixed daytime work were clerical workers, while the employees engaged in shift work were mainly physical workers in this company. Fixed daytime workers had significantly greater VFA than shift workers, but the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, CAVI values, and carotid IMT were similar between groups. Reduced regular exercise, long sleeping hours, and fixed daytime work were independently associated with visceral fat accumulation by both multivariate regression and logistic regression analyses. However, the logistic regression analysis with the presence of metabolic syndrome as the endpoint revealed that skipping breakfast, reduced regular exercise, long sleeping hours, and short working hours were independent determinants of metabolic syndrome. On the other hand, univariate and multivariate regression analysis showed that habitual smoking, but not shift work, were significantly associated with CAVI and carotid IMT. Logistic regression analysis with the endpoint of carotid atherosclerosis (presence of plaque) showed that habitual smoking was an independent determinant of carotid atherosclerosis.
Conclusions
Reduced regular exercise, long sleeping hours, and fixed daytime work were significantly associated with visceral fat accumulation, while habitual smoking has a consistent association with the progression of atherosclerosis. These findings support the concept that unhealthy lifestyles should be modified before considering intervention in work styles.

Abstract
Aim: Obesity is a social problem due to the prevalence of the Western lifestyle. In particular, visceral fat accumulation, which is a main component of metabolic syndrome, is closely associated with the progression of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to investigate the relationships of obesity-related indices and metabolic syndrome with subclinical atherosclerosis in middle-aged untreated workers. Methods: Employees undergoing their periodic health check-up but without previous cardiovascular events or cardiovascular medications were enrolled in this study (n = 7,750). Body mass index (BMI), percent body fat, waist circumference, and visceral fat area were evaluated as obesity-related indices. Assessment of visceral fat area was performed by computed tomography (CT). Subclinical atherosclerosis was assessed by measuring arterial stiffness using cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and by ultrasound examination of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). Results: Obesity-related indices were significantly correlated with each other and were positively associated with carotid IMT but negatively associated with CAVI in multivariate regression analysis. In a logistic regression analysis including CAVI and carotid IMT simultaneously, CAVI was negatively associated, but carotid IMT was positively associated, with obesity defined by each obesity-related index. In contrast, both CAVI and carotid IMT were positively associated with the presence of metabolic syndrome based on visceral fat accumulation. Conclusions: Obesity-related indices were negatively associated with CAVI and positively associated with carotid IMT in middle-aged untreated workers, while both CAVI and carotid IMT were worsened in the presence of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Previous studies suggested that reduced muscular strength was one of the potential predictor of prevalence of diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between toe flexor strength (TFS) and handgrip strength (HGS) and the prevalence of diabetes mellitus. Cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from 1,390 Japanese males (35-59 years). TFS and HGS were measured and medical examinations undertaken. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus was defined as fasting blood glucose ≥126 mg/dL, glycated hemoglobin ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol), and/or current use of anti-diabetes mellitus drugs. A total of 114 participants had diabetes mellitus. TFS in participants with diabetes mellitus was significantly lower than that in persons not suffering from diabetes mellitus but HGS was not. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) per 1-standard deviation-increase in muscular strength measurements for the prevalence of diabetes mellitus were obtained using a multiple logistic regression model. Prevalence of diabetes mellitus was inversely related to TFS (OR 0.769, 95% CI 0.614-0.963), TFS/body mass (BM) (0.696, 0.545-0.889) and TFS/body mass index (BMI) (0.690, 0.539-0.882) after adjustment of covariates. Such associations were not observed in HGS (OR 0.976, 95% CI 0.773-1.232), HGS/BM (0.868, 0.666-1.133) or HGS/BMI (0.826, 0.642-1.062). These results suggested that poor TFS was associated with an increased prevalence of diabetes mellitus independent of visceral fat accumulation, but HGS was not, in middle-aged males. TFS may be a better marker for the prevalence of diabetes mellitus than HGS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
CTCs are shed from tumors and circulate in the peripheral blood after passing through the drainage vein. Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) provides access to the lateral thoracic vein which flows directly into the axillary vein. In this preliminary study, we evaluated the feasibility of detecting CTCs in the peripheral blood and in the lateral thoracic venous blood for breast cancer patients who underwent ALND.
Methods:
From June 2016 to March 2017, breast cancer patients who underwent ALND in our institute were eligible for this study. A peripheral blood sample,10ml, was drawn just before the surgery or one day before the surgery. A lateral thoracic venous blood sample was taken from the resected breast just after resection. A blood sample of 0.2ml or more was necessary for CTC isolation. The CTCs in the peripheral blood before surgery (periCTC) and in the blood from the lateral thoracic vein of the resected breast (ltvCTC) were quantitatively examined by using a size-selective CTC isolation platform.
Results:
A total of 21 patients with median age 51 years (37-75) were enrolled to the study. Of the 21 patients, 38% were premenopausal, 52% had neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Fifty-seven percent were ER and/or PgR positive, 24% were HER2 positive. Fifty-seven percent were stage II disease and 43% were stage III. In 3 patients, we couldn't obtain sufficient blood samples from the lateral thoracic vein. Of the remaining 18 patients, we were able to obtain the median 0.5ml (0.2-2.0) blood samples from the lateral thoracic vein. CTCs were detected in peripheral blood in 15 patients (71%) and median periCTC count was 1 CTC/10ml (0-39). In lateral thoracic venous blood, CTCs were detected in all patients who had sufficient blood samples and the median ltv CTC count was 35.5 CTC/ml (2.5-370). In 5 of 6 patients whom CTCs in peripheral blood samples were not detected, CTCs could be detected in the blood samples from lateral thoracic vein.
Conclusion:
CTCs can be detected in the peripheral blood and in the blood from lateral thoracic vein in patients with localized breast cancer, and can be detected at a higher rate and at a higher concentration in the blood from lateral thoracic vein than in peripheral blood.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examined the associations of body flexibility with carotid arterial remodelling, including intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque formation in middle-aged men. METHODS The subjects of this cross-sectional study included 1354 Japanese men aged 35-59 years without histories of stroke or cardiac diseases. The arm extensibility test, which can estimate flexibility of the upper extremity (composed of shoulder external rotation and forearm supination), and the sit-and-reach test were performed. Common carotid IMT and plaque formation (≥1.1 mm) were estimated by ultrasound. RESULTS The proportion of subjects who fully completed the arm extensibility test was 55.0%, and who had plaques in the common carotid artery was 37.8%. IMT was associated with poor arm extensibility (β=-0.073, 95% CI -0.02224 to -0.00041, P=0.004), while plaque formation was associated with poor sit-and-reach (OR 0.98579, 95% CI 0.97257 to 0.99919, P=0.038) after adjustment by all covariates. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that poor upper extremity and trunk flexibility were associated with characteristics of early onset of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, these associations were independent of covariates such as age, blood pressure, blood lipids glucose levels and abdominal fat accumulation, handgrip strength and lifestyle, including sleeping, drinking, exercise and smoking habits. Poor flexibility may reflect subclinical atherosclerosis in middle-aged men.

Abstract
A wireless electroencephalogram (EEG) sensor using a stretchable electrode sheet and electrode-tissue impedance measurement module is presented herein. The sensor can be attached to the forehead using biocompatible gel with the electrode sheet. The sensor is compactly designed for 3 cm × 9 cm × 6 mm with weight of 12 g. Impedance scanning circuit is also proposed to evaluate the skin surface condition before EEG measurements. We developed the impedance scanning board for 3 cm × 5 cm × 3 mm, with weight of 5.6 g. Results show that the proposed system demonstrates a promising performance in diagnosing the Alzheimer's disease using frequency domain analysis.

Abstract
Background Toe flexor muscles play an important role in posture and locomotion, and poor toe flexor strength is a risk factor for falls. In this cross-sectional study, we estimated the age-related change in toe flexor strength and compared it with that of handgrip strength. Independent factors predicting toe flexor and handgrip strength were also determined. Methods A total of 1401 male (aged 35–59 years) study participants were divided into five groups according to their chronological age; 35–39, 40–44, 45–49, 50–54, and 55–59 years. Toe flexor and handgrip strength, anthropometry, and resting blood pressure were measured. Fasting blood samples were collected to measure blood glucose, triglycerides, high- and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterols, and albumin. A self-administered lifestyle questionnaire was conducted. Results Decline in absolute toe flexor and handgrip strength began in the age groups 50–55 and 55–59 years, respectively. In comparison to the mean values of the youngest group, relative toe flexor strength (87.0 ± 26.6%) was significantly lower than handgrip strength (94.4 ± 13.1%) for the oldest group. Multiple regression analyses showed that independent factors predicting both toe flexor and handgrip strength were lean body mass, age, serum albumin, drinking habit, and fat mass. Additionally, fasting blood glucose, diastolic blood pressure, sleeping time and exercise habit were predicting factors of toe flexor strength but not of handgrip strength. Conclusions Age-related reduction in toe flexor strength was earlier and greater than handgrip strength, and toe flexor strength reflects body composition and metabolic status.

Abstract
This study evaluated the effects of the commonly used hydrophilic organic solvents, acetonitrile, methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N,N-dimethylformamide, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol, on CYP3A in pooled human liver microsomes, using testosterone and midazolam as substrates. Furthermore, we examined the modulation effect of organic solvents on CYP3A inhibition by ketoconazole. Testosterone 6b-hydroxylation activity was potently inhibited in the presence of DMSO and 1-propanol in a concentration-dependent manner. Midazolam 1'-hydroxylation activity, however, was weakly inhibited only by 1% of DMSO, the highest concentration used in this study. Moreover, the potency of ketoconazole to inhibit CYP3A activities was variable, depending on the organic solvent used as a dissolving solvent for ketoconazole. Our data indicate that each organic solvent had an effect on CYP3A4 activity, evaluated by both substrates with different magnitudes. Furthermore, it was shown that the effects of organic solvents on CYP3A activity are substrate-dependent. The present study also shows that methanol had little effect on either substrate.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: It is not known which population of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer patients should continue endocrine treatment beyond 5 years to overcome late recurrences. The aim of this study was to examine a combination of nuclear grade (NG) and expression level of ER and progesterone receptor (PR) to predict late recurrences.
Methods: We assessed retrospectively 1677 consecutive ER-positive/HER2-negative patients who underwent surgical resection between 2004 and 2009. Patients with T2 or larger tumor and/or node-positive received pre- or postoperative chemotherapy following the international consensus panel from the St Gallen Conference, 2003. All patients had received adjuvant endocrine treatment. NG, ER and PR statuses were determined by immunohistochemistory on surgical specimen. We classified the patients into 3 groups as follows; ER-high (+++ or Allred score 7, 8)/PR-high (++ to +++ or 5-8) (n=212), ER-high / PR-low (- to + or 3-6) (n=208), and ER-low (+ to ++ or 3-6) / PR-any (n=255). We compared distant disease-free survival (DDFS) in each cohort based on the NG (1:low, and 2 or 3: high).
Results: A median follow-up period was 77.0 months. Four hundred sixty seven patients (27.8%) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 208 patients (12.4%) received adjuvant chemotherapy, and 1002 patients (59.8%) did not received chemotherapy. Of the 467 patients with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, 65 patients (13.9%) had developed distant metastasis during study period (before 5 years in 51 (11.0%); and after 5 years in 14 (3.0%)). NG-low had significantly higher risk of late recurrence after 5 years than that of NG-high (p=0.005). According to hormonal receptor expression levels, in patients with NG-low, ER-low/PR-any had significantly higher overall DDFS rate than ER-high/PR-low (p=0.016). A similar trend was found before 5 years (p=0.077). However, ER-high/PR-high turned to have significantly high risk of recurrence after 5 years compared to ER-low/PR-any (p=0.024). Of the 208 patients with adjuvant chemotherapy, 16 patients (7.6%) had developed distant metastasis during study period (before 5 years in 5 (2.4%), and after 5 years in 11 (5.2%)). there was no association between a risk of recurrence and hormone receptor statuses at any study period. In the patients did not received chemotherapy, ER-high/PR-high had a trend of higher DDFS rate than others before 5 years (p=0.067). Of the 1002 patients without chemotherapy, only 36 patients (3.6%) had developed distant metastasis during study period (before 5 years in 27 (2.7%), and after 5 years in 9 (0.9%)). There was no difference of late recurrence after 5 years among the patients regardless of ER and PR expression level and NG with only low recurrence rate (0.9%).
Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that, in ER-positive/HER2-negative patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, NG-low/ER-high/PR-high should receive extend hormonal treatment over 5 years because of the high risk of late recurrence but NG-high/ER-high might not need. Furthermore, patients with T1 and node-negative may not need extend hormonal treatment because of the extremely low risk of late recurrence regardless of NG and hormone receptor statuses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of death worldwide. Given that a family history is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease, genetic variants are thought to contribute directly to the development of this condition. The identification of susceptibility genes for coronary artery disease or MI may thus help to identify high-risk individuals and offer the opportunity for disease prevention. METHODS AND RESULTS We designed a 5-step protocol, consisting of a genome-wide linkage study followed by association analysis, to identify novel genetic variants that confer susceptibility to coronary artery disease or MI. A genome-wide affected sib-pair linkage study with 221 Japanese families with coronary artery disease yielded a statistically significant logarithm of the odds score of 3.44 for chromosome 2p13 and MI. Further association analysis implicated Alström syndrome 1 gene (ALMS1) as a candidate gene within the linkage region. Validation association analysis revealed that representative single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the ALMS1 promoter region were significantly associated with early-onset MI in both Japanese and Korean populations. Moreover, direct sequencing of the ALMS1 coding region identified a glutamic acid repeat polymorphism in exon 1, which was subsequently found to be associated with early-onset MI. CONCLUSIONS The glutamic acid repeat polymorphism of ALMS1 identified in the present study may provide insight into the pathogenesis of early-onset MI.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Medical nutrition therapy plays a critical role in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, appropriate measures of eating behaviours, such as eating rate, have not yet been clearly established. The aim of the present study was to examine the associations among eating rate, obesity and cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS A total of 7,275 Japanese individuals aged ≥40 years who had normal fasting glucose levels, impaired fasting glucose or diabetes were divided into four groups according to self-reported eating rate: slow, medium, relatively fast and very fast. The associations between eating rate and various cardiovascular risk factors were investigated cross-sectionally. RESULTS The proportions of participants who were obese or who had elevated waist circumference levels increased progressively with increases in eating rate (p for trend <0.001), regardless of glucose tolerance status. These associations remained significant after adjustment for potential confounders, namely, age, sex, total energy intake, dietary fibre intake, current smoking, current drinking and regular exercise (p for trend <0.001). Blood pressure and lipid levels also tended to increase in association with eating rate. HbA(1c) rose significantly as eating rate increased, even after multivariate adjustment, including BMI, in diabetic patients on insulin therapy (p = 0.02), whereas fasting plasma glucose did not increase significantly. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our findings suggest that eating rate is associated with obesity and other cardiovascular risk factors and therefore may be a modifiable risk factor in the management of cardiovascular risk factors and diabetes.

Abstract
AIMS Risk scoring methods are effective for identifying persons at high risk of Type 2 diabetes mellitus, but such approaches have not yet been established in Japan. METHODS A total of 1935 subjects of a derivation cohort were followed up for 14 years from 1988 and 1147 subjects of a validation cohort independent of the derivation cohort were followed up for 5 years from 2002. Risk scores were estimated based on the coefficients (β) of Cox proportional hazards model in the derivation cohort and were verified in the validation cohort. RESULTS In the derivation cohort, the non-invasive risk model was established using significant risk factors; namely, age, sex, family history of diabetes, abdominal circumference, body mass index, hypertension, regular exercise and current smoking. We also created another scoring risk model by adding fasting plasma glucose levels to the non-invasive model (plus-fasting plasma glucose model). The area under the curve of the non-invasive model was 0.700 and it increased significantly to 0.772 (P < 0.001) in the plus-fasting plasma glucose model. The ability of the non-invasive model to predict Type 2 diabetes was comparable with that of impaired glucose tolerance, and the plus-fasting plasma glucose model was superior to it. The cumulative incidence of Type 2 diabetes was significantly increased with elevating quintiles of the sum scores of both models in the validation cohort (P for trend < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS We developed two practical risk score models for easily identifying individuals at high risk of incident Type 2 diabetes without an oral glucose tolerance test in the Japanese population.

Abstract
AIMS We examined the optimal cut-off values of fasting plasma glucose, 2-h post-load glucose and HbA(1c) for predicting Type 2 diabetes in community-dwelling Japanese subjects. METHODS A total of 1982 subjects without diabetes aged 40-79 years who underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test were followed prospectively for 14 years by annual health examination. RESULTS During the follow-up, 295 subjects developed Type 2 diabetes. Compared with the first decile, the crude hazard ratio for incident Type 2 diabetes was significantly higher in the fifth fasting plasma glucose decile [5.4-5.4 mmol/l (97-98 mg/dl)] or higher, in the seventh 2-h post-load glucose decile [6.9-7.2 mmol/l (124-131 mg/dl)] or higher, and in the fifth HbA(1c) decile [34-36 mmol/mol (5.3-5.4%)] or higher. These associations remained substantially unchanged even after adjustment for confounding factors. The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the optimal cut-off values for predicting Type 2 diabetes were 5.6 mmol/l (101 mg/dl) for fasting plasma glucose, 6.9 mmol/l (124 mg/dl) for 2-h post-load glucose and 37 mmol/mol (5.5%) for HbA(1c). In a stratified analysis, the cut-off values were approximately 5.6 mmol/l (101 mg/dl) for fasting plasma glucose and 37 mmol/mol (5.5%) for HbA(1c), and these values were unchanged over BMI quartile levels, whereas the 2-h post-load glucose cut-off values declined with decreasing BMI levels. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the cut-off value for predicting Type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population is 5.6 mmol/l (101 mg/dl) for fasting plasma glucose and 37 mmol/mol (5.5%) for HbA(1c), while the 2-h post-load glucose cut-off value is lower than the diagnostic criterion for impaired glucose tolerance.

Abstract
Background—
Although stent fracture (SF) after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation has been recognized as one of the predisposing factors of in-stent restenosis, it remains uncertain whether SF can increase the risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), especially beyond 1 year after SES implantation. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of SF relative to non-SF on 4-year clinical outcomes after treatment with SES of comparable unselected lesions.
Methods and Results—
A total of 874 lesions in 793 patients undergoing SES implantation and subsequent angiography 6 to 9 months after index procedure were analyzed. At 6- to 9-month angiographic follow-up, SF was identified in 70 of 874 lesions (8.0%). In-stent late loss was significantly higher in SF lesions versus non-SF lesions (0.42±0.59 mm versus 0.13±0.49 mm,
P
<0.001), resulting in a significantly higher in-stent restenosis rate (21.4% versus 4.1%,
P
<0.001). At 4 years, SF versus non-SF was associated with a significantly higher MACE rate (23.2% versus 12.6%,
P
=0.014), mainly driven by significantly higher target-lesion revascularization (18.8% versus 10.2%,
P
=0.029) rate. Adverse effects of SF on clinical outcomes occurred mostly within the first year (17.4% versus 6.6%,
P
=0.001), with similar MACE rate between 1 and 4 years (5.8% versus 5.9%,
P
=0.611). No significant differences between SF versus non-SF patients were observed in the cumulative frequency of very late stent thrombosis (2.9% versus 1.4%,
P
=0.281), death (0% versus 2.1%,
P
=0.252), or myocardial infarction (5.8% versus 2.9%,
P
=0.165).
Conclusions—
SF of SES was associated with higher MACE rate up to 1 year, mainly driven by higher target-lesion revascularization, whereas no significant association was evident between years 1 and 4.

Abstract
ABSTRACTB doped diamond films were synthesized by microwave plasma CVD and electrical contacts were fabricated by R F sputtering. Rc was obtained for Pt, Ni, TaSi2, and Al asdeposited contacts at room temperature. Pt gave the minimum Rc and Al gave the maximum Rc of the metals investigated on films containing a carrier concentration of 5 × 1018/cm3. The minimum Rc, 8.6 × 10−4 Ω cm 2, was obtained on heavily B doped diamond films with a carrier concentration of 2.7 × 1020/cm3. After nnealing at 400 °C, the Rc of Pt contacts on B doped diamond films with a resistivity of 2×104 Ω1 cm decreased by approximately one order of magnitude.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the frequency, predictors and prognostic significance of elevation in cardiac troponin I (cTnI) after coronary angiography (CAG). METHODS AND RESULTS A series of 296 consecutive patients with normal pre-procedural cTnI levels and undergoing elective CAG at our centre were prospectively analysed. Positive cTnI elevation was defined as >0.06 ng/ml. Positive cTnI elevation was observed in 44 patients (14.8%), but CK-MB was elevated in only four patients (1.3%) after the procedure. The risk of cTnI elevation was independently associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (odds ratio [OR] 5.52; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.54 to 12.02; P<0.001), inexperienced operator (OR 10.83; 95% CI, 2.47 to 47.43; P=0.002) and the amount of contrast agent (OR 1.12; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.23; P=0.009 for each 10 ml increase), whereas it was not associated with the severity of coronary artery disease. At one year, however, postprocedural elevation of cTnI was not associated with an increased risk of death (2.3% vs. 0.8%, P=0.384) or myocardial infarction (2.3% vs. 2.0%, P=0.623). CONCLUSIONS A minor elevation of cTnI is observed commonly after CAG, which might be associated with left ventricular hypertrophy, operator's experience and the amount of contrast used; however, it does not influence 1-year events rates.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS A 41-year-old woman undergoing simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation from an HLA-mismatched cardiac death donor abruptly developed overt hyperglycaemia under standard immunosuppressive therapy at 48 months after transplantation. Unexpectedly, we found insulitis in the transplanted pancreas and characterised the insulitis. METHODS Pancreas graft biopsies were performed 3 years before and after the development of hyperglycaemia and the specimens were examined histologically. RESULTS Insulitis was absent in the first biopsy, although oxidative DNA changes revealed by 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) staining were diffusely present both in islet cells and exocrine cells. No Ki67-positive proliferating cells were seen in the islets. Anti-glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody was undetectable 6 months earlier but increased to 6.3 U/l at the development of hyperglycaemia. The level of anti-insulinoma-associated protein 2 antibody was 18.5 U/l. Insulin secretion was severely suppressed and insulin therapy was resumed. In the second biopsy, although acute allograft rejection was minimal, insulin-positive beta cells were markedly reduced, and glucagon-positive alpha cells predominated. CD3-positive T lymphocytes, CD8-positive cytotoxic T lymphocytes and CD68-positive macrophages infiltrated around and into islets. The infiltrating cells expressed Fas ligand as well as granzyme B. More than 80% of islets were affected by insulitis. 8-OHdG-positive cells were also present in islets and exocrine tissue. The percentage of Ki67-positive cells in total islet cells was 1.5%. There were no TUNEL-positive apoptotic cells in the islet cells. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION The histological features of insulitis in transplanted pancreas were consistent with common type 1 diabetes mellitus, but the clinical course of the recurrence appeared to be more rapid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Growth hormone-releasing peptide (GHRP) may act directly on the myocardium and improve left ventricular (LV) function, suggesting a potential new approach to the treatment of cardiomyopathic hearts. The present study tested the hypothesis that the beneficial cardiac effects of GHRP might include attenuation of myocardial oxidative stress. METHODS AND RESULTS Dilated cardiomyopathic TO-2 hamsters were injected with GHRP-2 (1 mg/kg) or saline from 6 to 12 weeks of age. F1B hamsters served as controls. Untreated TO-2 hamsters progressively developed LV dilation, wall thinning, and systolic dysfunction between 6 and 12 weeks of age. Marked myocardial fibrosis was apparent in untreated hamsters at 12 weeks of age in comparison with F1B controls. The ratio of reduced to oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) was decreased and the concentration of 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) was increased in the hearts of untreated TO-2 hamsters. Treatment with GHRP-2 attenuated the progression of LV remodeling and dysfunction, as well as myocardial fibrosis, in TO-2 hamsters. GHRP-2 also inhibited both the decrease in the GSH/GSSG ratio and the increase in the concentration of 4-HNE in the hearts of TO-2 hamsters. CONCLUSIONS GHRP-2 can suppress the increase in the level of myocardial oxidative stress, leading to attenuation of progressive LV remodeling and dysfunction in dilated cardiomyopathic hamsters.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an increased risk of restenosis and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) after coronary interventions, especially in patients on hemodialysis (HD). The aim of this study was to assess the impact of varying degrees of renal impairment on angiographic and 2-year clinical outcomes after treatment with sirolimus-eluting stents (SESs). METHODS A total of 675 lesions of 593 patients treated with SES were analyzed. Patients were classified into 3 groups: 34 patients on HD; 337 patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate > or =60 mL min(-1) 1.73 m(-2) (non-CKD group); and 222 patients who had lower estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 mL min(-1) 1.73 m(-2) without HD dependency (CKD group). RESULTS At angiographic follow-up (201 +/- 73 days), in-segment late loss was markedly higher in the HD group versus the non-CKD and CKD groups (0.68 +/- 1.06 vs 0.11 +/- 0.45 and 0.15 +/- 0.50 mm, respectively, P < .001), resulting in a significantly higher in-segment restenosis rate (40.0% vs 10.4% and 11.5%, respectively, P < .001). At 2 years, HD vs non-CKD and CKD was associated with a significantly higher MACE rate (35.3% vs 10.4% and 12.6%, respectively, P < .001), mainly driven by significantly higher mortality (11.8% vs 0.6% and 2.3%, respectively, P < .001) and target-lesion revascularization (23.5% vs 9.2% and 8.1%, respectively, P = .016) rates. Multivariable analysis revealed that HD was the independent predictor of 2-year MACE (hazard ratio 4.70, 95% CI 2.40-9.20, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Although angiographic and clinical outcomes after SES implantation were similarly favorable in non-HD-dependent CKD patients, regardless of renal function, in patients with end-stage CKD requiring HD, frequencies of restenosis and 2-year MACE were markedly higher than in non-HD-dependent patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postprandial hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia are frequently associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present study is to investigate the clinical determinants of postprandial glycemia and lipemia, especially serum high-molecular weight adiponectin. METHODS Twenty-seven diabetic patients treated with diet alone and 13 healthy volunteers took liquid test meal containing 53 g carbohydrate and 47 g lipid, dosed with nonradioactive isotope (13)C-acetate. Venous blood and breath samples were obtained for 180 min after the meal. Gastric emptying was evaluated by peak excretion time of (13)CO(2) in the breath samples. Delayed gastric emptying was defined as peak excretion time > 2.5 h (mean + 2 SD in the healthy volunteers). RESULTS Diabetic patients showed delayed insulin secretion, postprandial hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia compared with control. Postprandial glycemic increases significantly correlated with enhanced gastric emptying. Serum high-molecular weight adiponectin correlated with postprandial glycemic increases at 30 and 60 min after meal (r = 0.42, p < 0.05; r = 0.37, p < 0.05, respectively). Serum high-molecular weight adiponectin also correlated with gastric emptying (versus peak excretion time r = - 0.58, p < 0.05). In addition, diabetic patients with delayed gastric emptying showed the suppressed postprandial glycemia with lower serum high-molecular weight adiponectin than those with normal gastric emptying. On the other hand, postprandial increases in serum triglyceride were not related to serum high-molecular weight adiponectin or gastric emptying, but significantly related to liver function test (serum transaminases) and body mass index. CONCLUSIONS Early postprandial glycemic increases were related to elevated serum high-molecular weight adiponectin, which might be associated with enhanced gastric emptying.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the benefit of distal protection (DP) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains questionable, there appears to be efficacy in some clinical situations. We sought to identify in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) which clinical and angiographic characteristics might indicate the patient who will benefit from the use of a DP device. METHODS A series of 103 consecutive patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI using DP were compared with 98 consecutive patients treated by primary PCI alone. RESULTS The overall rates of thromboembolic complications and achievement of optimal reperfusion (myocardial blush grade >/=2 and ST-segment resolution >/=70%), and infarct size, were similar between the 2 groups. However, DP use was associated with higher rates of optimal reperfusion in patients with right coronary artery (RCA) lesions (OR 2.45; 95% CI, 1.07 to 5.59; P=0.034), thrombus score >/=4 (OR 2.64; 95% CI, 1.07 to 6.50; P=0.034) or infarct-related artery (IRA) of >/=3.5 mm in diameter (OR 4.09; 95% CI, 1.02 to 16.40; P=0.047). In this population (RCA location, thrombus score >/=4, or IRA >/=3.5 mm), DP use reduced the risk of thromboembolic complications (64%, P=0.012, 45%, P=0.035 and 54%, P=0.050, respectively), resulting in a smaller infarct size (8.0+/-5.1 vs. 11.7+/-7.5, P=0.028, 13.1+/-8.8 vs. 17.4+/-10.0, P=0.026 and 15.5+/-10.8 vs. 22.1+/-10.1, P=0.042, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The use of a DP during primary PCI may lead to a reduction of thromboembolic complications, subsequent higher rates of optimal reperfusion and reduced infarct size in patients with RCA culprit lesions, a large thrombus, or large IRA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is implicated in cardiac remodeling and failure. We tested whether xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibition could decrease myocardial oxidative stress and attenuate left ventricular (LV) remodeling and dysfunction in the TO-2 hamster model of dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS AND RESULTS TO-2 hamsters were randomized to treatment with the XO inhibitor, allopurinol, or vehicle from 6 to 12 weeks of age. F1B hamsters served as controls. TO-2 hamsters treated with vehicle progressively developed severe LV systolic dysfunction and dilation between 6 and 12 weeks. Marked cardiac fibrosis was apparent in these hamsters at 12 weeks in comparison with F1B controls. The ratio of reduced to oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) was decreased and malondialdehyde levels were increased in the hearts of vehicle-treated TO-2 hamsters. Treatment with allopurinol from 6 to 12 weeks attenuated LV dysfunction and dilation as well as myocardial fibrosis and the upregulation of a fetal-type cardiac gene. Allopurinol also inhibited both the decrease in GSH/GSSG ratio and the increase in malondialdehyde levels in the heart. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that chronic XO inhibition with allopurinol attenuates LV remodeling and dysfunction as well as myocardial oxidative stress in this model of heart failure. Allopurinol may prove beneficial for the treatment of heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, stent fracture (SF) of sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) has been shown to be associated with an increased risk of in-stent restenosis. We sought to evaluate the incidence, predictors and clinical outcome of SF after SES implantation in comparable unselected lesions. METHODS A total of 430 lesions of 382 patients treated with SES were analyzed. SF was defined as single or multiple stent strut fracture as well as complete separation of stent segments. RESULTS At follow-up, SF was identified in 33 of 430 lesions (7.7%). In lesions with SF, the in-stent restenosis was observed more frequently than non-SF lesions (15.2% vs. 4.0%, P=0.004). At 450 days, however, the cumulative rate of major cardiac events was not significantly different between lesions with and without SF (9.1% vs. 7.1%, P=0.722). The risk of SF was independently associated with total stent length (OR 2.22; 95% CI, 1.25 to 3.95; P=0.007), the change in the angulation of the lesion after stenting (OR 1.55; 95% CI, 1.07 to 2.25; P=0.020), and the right coronary artery lesions (OR 3.26; 95% CI, 1.18 to 8.96; P=0.022). CONCLUSIONS The occurrence of SF after SES implantation, was found to be relatively common in the particular population, however, did not lead to an increased risk of adverse cardiac events at 450 days, despite a higher incidence of in-stent restenosis.

Abstract
AIMS Although skin oxygenation is an important factor in the development and healing of foot ulcers, its regulation was not fully understood. We studied changes in foot skin oxygenation and blood flow during postural changes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS Skin oxygenation was measured using transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO(2)) and skin blood flow by laser Doppler flowmetry in 40 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without evidence of peripheral arterial disease and 13 healthy control subjects. RESULTS TcPO(2) in the supine position was significantly lower in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with control, although skin blood flow was not different. In the sitting position, TcPO(2) significantly increased in control and diabetic patients. The postural change-related increase in TcPO(2) was significantly enhanced in diabetic patients. On the other hand, skin blood blow significantly decreased in the sitting position from the supine position in control subjects but remained stable in diabetic patients. Orthostatic drop in systolic blood pressure correlated negatively with TcPO(2) in the supine position while correlated positively with %change in TcPO(2) and blood flow by postural changes. CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrated the dissociated regulation of skin oxygenation and blood flow in response to leg dependency. Impaired postural vasoconstriction was associated with altered regulation of skin oxygenation probably due to sympathetic vascular dysfunction in diabetic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although measurement of serum creatine kinase levels, as well as myoglobin levels, has been used for screening patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), the specificity of both is low. Measurement of cardiac troponin levels is now extensively used for the diagnosis of ACS because of their superior cardiac specificity. However, troponin levels are reportedly elevated not only in patients with ACS but also in those with other diseases. METHODS AND RESULTS The clinical characteristics of 1,023 patients (mean age: 63.5+/-16.3 years; males: 665, females: 358) whose serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels had been measured at the initial visit to the emergency room of Toyota Memorial Hospital between April 2004 and March 2005 were retrospectively analyzed. A positive elevation of cTnI was defined as cTnI > or =0.03 ng/ml. There were 432 patients (42.2%) with positive cTnI levels. The cTnI levels (8.48+/-2.64 ng/ml) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were greater than those (0.25+/-0.07 ng/ml) in patients with unstable angina pectoris (AP), as well as those (0.04+/-0.01 ng/ml) in patients with stable AP. In terms of the diagnosis of AMI, the sensitivity was high enough (94.6%), but its specificity was relatively low (61.9%). Furthermore, the differentiation between AMI and unstable AP by the cTnI value alone was impossible. The cTnI levels were elevated in patients with a variety of diseases other than ACS, including heart failure, cardiomyopathies, myocarditis, renal failure, tachyarrhythmias, and pulmonary embolism. CONCLUSIONS Elevation of the cTnI level is frequently observed in patients in the emergency room with common diseases other than ACS.
