Abstract
Gene therapy for many diseases is rapidly becoming a reality, as demonstrated by the recent approval of various nucleic acid-based therapeutics. Non-viral systems such as lipid-based carriers, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), for delivering different payloads including small interfering RNA, plasmid DNA, and messenger RNA have been particularly extensively explored and developed for clinical uses. One of the most important issues in LNP development is delivery to extrahepatic tissues. To achieve this, various lipids and lipid-like materials are being examined and screened. Several LNP formulations that target extrahepatic tissues, such as the spleen and the lungs have been developed by adjusting the lipid compositions of LNPs. However, mechanistic details of how the characteristics of LNPs affect delivery efficiency remains unclear. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of LNP-based nucleic acid delivery focusing on LNP components and their structures, as well as discussing biological factors, such as biomolecular corona and cellular responses related to the delivery efficiency.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD)-associated myositis targeting skeletal muscle is a relatively rare but potentially debilitating complication following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We reviewed the clinicopathological features of GVHD-associated myositis among patients receiving allogeneic HSCT to elucidate the cellular pathogenesis. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed clinical data and muscle biopsy results from 17 consecutive patients diagnosed with GVHD-associated myositis at our institution between 1995 and 2019. Immunostaining findings of GVHD-associated myositis were compared to those of patients with anti-tRNA-synthetase antibody-associated myopathy (ASM) (n = 13) and dermatomyositis (DM) (n = 12). RESULTS The majority of patients with GVHD-associated myositis showed subacute or chronic progression of mild to moderate limb weakness together with elevated serum creatine kinase. These patients also exhibited mild C-reactive protein elevation but were negative for myositis-related autoantibodies. Programmed death-1 (PD-1)-positive cells were observed in muscle interstitium adjacent to myofibers expressing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR. The interstitium was also HLA-DR-positive, similar to biopsy samples from ASM patients but not DM patients. The proportions of HLA-DR-positive muscle fibers and PD-1-positive interstitial cells were significantly higher in GVHD and ASM samples than DM samples. The PD-1-positive cells were mostly CD-8-positive lymphocytes. DISCUSSION GVHD-associated myositis is characterized by HLA-DR-positive myofibers and infiltration of PD-1-positive lymphocytes. These features distinguish GVHD-associated myositis from DM but not from ASM.

Abstract
AIM To report mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion with cross-flow through the communicating artery ("with" group), and to compare it with ICA or middle cerebral artery occlusion without cross-flow ("without" group). MATERIAL AND METHODS This study included 10 and 57 cases of the "with" and "without" groups, respectively. Cases analyzed by rapid processing of perfusion and diffusion (RAPID) since October 2020 were included. RESULTS Puncture-to-reperfusion time was 78.5 and 39 min (p=0.0155), the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at discharge was 10.5 and 4 (p=0.0166), decline from pre to post Diffusion-Weighted Image-Alberta Stroke Program Early computed tomography (CT) Score was 0.5 and 0 (p=0.0495), and the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days was 4 and 2 (p=0.0195) in the "with" and "without" groups, respectively. Furthermore, Tmax values of > 6 s (50 cc vs. 164 cc; p=0.0277) and Tmax > 4 s/Tmax > 6 s ratio (3.23 vs. 1.55) (p=0.0074) were significantly different between the "with" and "without" groups. CONCLUSION The "with" group may have been affected by the longer treatment time and being at high risk of distal migration of thrombus due to poor prognosis. Although the region with a Tmax of > 6 s tends to be small in patients of the "with" group, it indicates a low-perfusion state that can lead to cerebral infarction, and MT should be performed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
The era of nucleic acid nanomedicine has arrived, as evidenced by Patisiran, a small interfering RNA (siRNA) encapsulated lipid nanoparticle (LNP), and mRNA-loaded LNPs used in COVID-19 vaccines. The diversity of nano-designs for delivering nucleic acid molecules tested in Phase II/III clinical trials reflects the potential of these technologies. These breakthroughs in non-viral gene delivery, including the use of LNPs, have attracted substantial interest worldwide for developing more effective drugs. A next step in this field is to target tissues other than the liver, which requires significant research efforts and material development. However, mechanistic studies in this area are lacking. This study compares two types of LNPs with different tissue-selectivity for delivering plasmid DNA (pDNA), one being liver-selective and the other spleen-selective, in an effort to understand the mechanisms responsible for differences in gene expression of delivered genes. We observed little difference in the biodistribution of these two LNPs despite the 100-1000-fold differences in gene expression. We then quantified the amount of delivered pDNA and mRNA expression in each tissue by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) to evaluate various intracellular processes, such as nuclear delivery, transcription and translation. The results showed a >100-fold difference in the translation step but there were little differences in amount of pDNA delivered to the nucleus or the amount of mRNA expression for the two LNP deliveries. Our findings suggest that endogenous factors affect gene expression efficiency not the extent of biodistribution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The emergence of novel genomic-type clones, such as community-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and livestock-associated MRSA, and their invasion into hospitals have become major concerns worldwide; however, little information is available regarding the prevalence of MRSA in Japan. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has been conducted to analyse various pathogens worldwide. Therefore, it is important to establish a genome database of clinical MRSA isolates available in Japan. AIM A molecular epidemiological analysis of MRSA strains isolated from bloodstream-infected patients in a Japanese university hospital was conducted using WGS and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis. Additionally, through a review of patients' clinical characteristics, the effectiveness of SNP analysis as a tool for detecting silent nosocomial transmission that may be missed by other methods was evaluated in diverse settings and various time points of detection. METHODS Polymerase-chain-reaction-based staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) typing was performed using 135 isolates obtained between 2014 and 2018, and WGS was performed using 88 isolates obtained between 2015 and 2017. FINDINGS SCCmec type II strains, prevalent in 2014, became rare in 2018, whereas the prevalence of SCCmec type IV strains increased from 18.75% to 83.87% of the population, and became the dominant clones. Clonal complex (CC) 5 CC8 and CC1 were detected between 2015 and 2017, with CC1 being dominant. In 88 cases, SNP analyses revealed nosocomial transmissions among 20 patients which involved highly homologous strains. CONCLUSIONS Routine monitoring of MRSA by whole-genome analysis is effective not only for gaining knowledge regarding molecular epidemiology, but also for detecting silent nosocomial transmission.

Abstract
Background Cerebral aneurysms arising from fenestration of the A1 portion of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) (A1 fenestration) with the accessory middle cerebral artery (MCA) is rare. Herein, we report a ruptured cerebral aneurysm arising from A1 fenestration combined with the accessory MCA that was successfully treated with coil embolization. Case Description A 51-year-old woman suddenly experienced a severe occipital headache and was admitted to our hospital. Detailed examination revealed subarachnoid hemorrhage due to a cerebral aneurysm arising from A1 fenestration combined with the accessory MCA. Hence, coil embolization was performed, and a favorable outcome was obtained. Conclusion Coil embolization of the cerebral aneurysm arising from the A1 fenestration of the ACA combined with the accessory MCA is considered to be useful.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Endovascular therapy (EVT) is performed for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO), however, the treatment strategies and clinical outcomes differ between cardiac embolism (CE) and intracranial arteriosclerosis-derived LVO (ICAS-LVO). We analyzed whether the time-to-max (Tmax) volume derived from perfusion imaging predicted clinical classification in AIS patients before EVT. METHODS Consecutive AIS patients with anterior circulation LVO evaluated by automated imaging software were retrospectively identified. Patients were classified into a CE group and an ICAS-LVO group, and parameters were compared between groups. RESULTS Thirty-nine patients were included and Tmax volume and Tmax > 6 s volume/Tmax > 4 s volume were significantly greater in the CE group than in the ICAS-LVO group (Tmax > 4 s volume: 261 mL vs. 149 mL, p = .01, Tmax > 6 s volume: 143 mL vs. 59 mL, p = .001, Tmax > 6 s volume/Tmax > 4 s volume: 0.59 vs. 0.40, p < .001). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated an association between clinical classification and high Tmax > 6 s volume/Tmax > 4 s volume (p = .04). CONCLUSION The Tmax volume derived from perfusion imaging predicts the clinical classification of AIS patients before EVT.

Abstract
Delayed onset of facial spasm following surgery for unilateral facial spasm after microvascular decompression (MVD) of the distal facial nerve is rare. We report a case of unilateral facial spasm caused by compression of the distal facial nerve successfully treated with MVD resulting in delayed peripheral facial nerve palsy. A 51-year-old male patient with a left facial spasm showed a gradual worsening of symptoms. Head imaging revealed that the left anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) was in contact with the distal portion of the left facial nerve; hence, MVD was performed. The AICA was pressing on the distal facial nerve, so the AICA was transpositioned. Postoperatively, the facial spasm improved. On the eighth postoperative day, the patient showed left peripheral facial nerve palsy and was given conservative treatment. The patient was discharged home on the sixteenth postoperative day. One month after discharge, the facial palsy was in complete remission. Distal facial nerve compression may cause unilateral facial spasms. Although delayed facial nerve palsy may occur, the prognosis is good.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tripartite motif-containing 27 (TRIM27) has been implicated in the progression of various cancers. However, the role of TRIM27 in sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) remains poorly understood. MATERIALS & METHODS We retrospectively examined 28 patients with SNMM treated with between 2003 and 2021. We undertook immunohistochemical analysis of TRIM27, Ki-67, and p-Akt1 expression in SNMM tissues. We also investigated the relationship between TRIM27 expression and clinical characteristics, prognosis, Ki-67 as a tumor growth potential marker, and p-Akt1 as one of the prognostic factors in mucosal melanoma. RESULTS TRIM27 expression was significantly higher in T4 disease than in T3 disease and was higher in stage IV than in stage III. Patients with high-TRIM27 SNMM had a significantly poorer prognosis in terms of overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival.There was also a significantly higher rate of distant metastasis. Univariate analysis for OS revealed that TRIM27 and T classification were significant poor prognostic factors. In addition, the Ki-67 positive score and the p-Akt1 total staining score were significantly higher in the high-TRIM27 group than in the low-TRIM27 group. CONCLUSIONS High TRIM27 expression in SNMM was associated with advanced T classification, poor prognosis and distant metastasis. We suggest that TRIM27 has potential as a novel biomarker for prognosis in SNMM.

Abstract
Fulminant fat embolism syndrome (FES) occurring within 1 h after trauma is extremely rare. We report a case of fulminant FES that developed hyperacute nature after a traumatic injury. A 66-year-old woman was injured when she fell approximately 1.5 m down the stairs. She was rushed to our hospital. One minute after arrival, which was 49 min after the injury, her consciousness and respiratory status deteriorated. Thoracoabdominal and pelvic computed tomography revealed preexisting interstitial pneumonia, a left femoral neck fracture, and a left sacral fracture. Head magnetic resonance imaging (diffusion-weighted imaging) showed diffuse high-signal areas and susceptibility-weighted imaging showed diffuse small perivascular of perivascular hemorrhages. She was diagnosed with fulminant FES. After conservative treatment, she was transferred to a rehabilitation hospital with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 8 and a modified Rankin Scale of 5 on Day 45. The possibility of fulminant FES should be considered a cause of early impaired consciousness after a fracture.

Abstract
Podocyte injury leading to albuminuria is a characteristic feature of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Hyperglycemia and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are major determinants of DN. However, the underlying mechanisms of podocyte injury remain poorly understood. The cytosolic protein TNFAIP2/M-Sec is required for tunneling nanotubes (TNTs) formation, which are membrane channels that transiently connect cells, allowing organelle transfer. Podocytes express TNFAIP2 and form TNTs, but the potential relevance of the TNFAIP2-TNT system in DN is unknown. We studied TNFAIP2 expression in both human and experimental DN and the renal effect of tnfaip2 deletion in streptozotocin-induced DN. Moreover, we explored the role of the TNFAIP2-TNT system in podocytes exposed to diabetes-related insults. TNFAIP2 was overexpressed by podocytes in both human and experimental DN and exposre of podocytes to high glucose and AGEs induced the TNFAIP2-TNT system. In diabetic mice, tnfaip2 deletion exacerbated albuminuria, renal function loss, podocyte injury, and mesangial expansion. Moreover, blockade of the autophagic flux due to lysosomal dysfunction was observed in diabetes-injured podocytes both in vitro and in vivo and exacerbated by tnfaip2 deletion. TNTs allowed autophagosome and lysosome exchange between podocytes, thereby ameliorating AGE-induced lysosomal dysfunction and apoptosis. This protective effect was abolished by tnfaip2 deletion, TNT inhibition, and donor cell lysosome damage. By contrast, Tnfaip2 overexpression enhanced TNT-mediated transfer and prevented AGE-induced autophagy and lysosome dysfunction and apoptosis. In conclusion, TNFAIP2 plays an important protective role in podocytes in the context of DN by allowing TNT-mediated autophagosome and lysosome exchange and may represent a novel druggable target.Abbreviations: AGEs: advanced glycation end products; AKT1: AKT serine/threonine kinase 1; AO: acridine orange; ALs: autolysosomes; APs: autophagosomes; BM: bone marrow; BSA: bovine serum albumin; CTSD: cathepsin D; DIC: differential interference contrast; DN: diabetic nephropathy; FSGS: focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; HG: high glucose; KO: knockout; LAMP1: lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1; LMP: lysosomal membrane permeabilization; MAP1LC3/LC3: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; PI3K: phosphoinositide 3-kinase; STZ: streptozotocin; TNF: tumor necrosis factor; TNFAIP2: tumor necrosis factor, alpha-induced protein 2; TNTs: tunneling nanotubes; WT: wild type.

Abstract
The atomic masses of ^{55}Sc, ^{56,58}Ti, and ^{56-59}V have been determined using the high-precision multireflection time-of-flight technique. The radioisotopes have been produced at RIKEN's Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) and delivered to the novel designed gas cell and multireflection system, which has been recently commissioned downstream of the ZeroDegree spectrometer following the BigRIPS separator. For ^{56,58}Ti and ^{56-59}V, the mass uncertainties have been reduced down to the order of 10 keV, shedding new light on the N=34 shell effect in Ti and V isotopes by the first high-precision mass measurements of the critical species ^{58}Ti and ^{59}V. With the new precision achieved, we reveal the nonexistence of the N=34 empirical two-neutron shell gaps for Ti and V, and the enhanced energy gap above the occupied νp_{3/2} orbit is identified as a feature unique to Ca. We perform new Monte Carlo shell model calculations including the νd_{5/2} and νg_{9/2} orbits and compare the results with conventional shell model calculations, which exclude the νg_{9/2} and the νd_{5/2} orbits. The comparison indicates that the shell gap reduction in Ti is related to a partial occupation of the higher orbitals for the outer two valence neutrons at N=34.

Abstract
Optical absorption spectra in the visible and near-infrared light were measured for magnetoelectric spin glass Ni_{0.4}Mn_{0.6}TiO_{3} under various field-cooled conditions. Despite the absence of long-range magnetic-dipole order, this spin-glass system exhibits nonreciprocal directional dichroism (NDD) at zero external field after a magnetoelectric field-cooled procedure. This result is distinct from previous studies on NDD in systems with magnetic toroidal moments induced either by long-range magnetic-dipole order or by applying crossed electric and magnetic fields. The present Letter conclusively demonstrates that the observed NDD originates from magnetoelectrically induced ferroic order of magnetic toroidal moments without conventional magnetic-dipole order.

Abstract
Enamel is the highly mineralized outer layer of teeth; the cells responsible for enamel formation are ameloblasts. Local hypoxia and hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) in embryonic tissues are important to promote normal organogenesis. However, hypoxic state in tooth germs and the roles of HIF in ameloblast differentiation have not been understood. The aim of this study is to clarify the role of HIF in ameloblast differentiation during tooth germ development. We found that tooth germs were under hypoxia and HIF-1α and HIF-2α were expressed in tooth germs in embryonic mice. Then, we used HIF inhibitors to evaluate the function of HIF during tooth germ development. The HIF-2α inhibitor significantly decreased the size of tooth germs in organ culture, while the HIF-1α inhibitor did not apparently affect the size of tooth germs. The HIF-2α inhibitor enhanced the expression of amelogenin, a marker of ameloblast differentiation, in the tooth germs in organ culture and rat dental epithelial SF2 cells. Moreover, we found that the HIF-2α inhibitor-stimulating amelogenin expression was regulated by hes-related family basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor with YRPW motif 2(Hey2) in SF2 cells. These findings suggest that the HIF-2α-Hey2 axis plays an important role in ameloblast differentiation during tooth germ development.

Abstract
A new era of nanomedicines that involve nucleic acids/gene therapy has been opened after two decades in 21st century and new types of more efficient drug delivery systems (DDS) are highly expected and will include extrahepatic delivery. In this review, we summarize the possibility and expectations for the extrahepatic delivery of small interfering RNA/messenger RNA/plasmid DNA/genome editing to the spleen, lung, tumor, lymph nodes as well as the liver based on our studies as well as reported information. Passive targeting and active targeting are discussed in in vivo delivery and the importance of controlled intracellular trafficking for successful therapeutic results are also discussed. In addition, mitochondrial delivery as a novel strategy for nucleic acids/gene therapy is introduced to expand the therapeutic dimension of nucleic acids/gene therapy in the liver as well as the heart, kidney and brain.

We report on the characterization of wurtzite (WZ) InP nanowire (NW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with different pn junctions (axial and radial). The series resistance tended to be smaller in the NW-LED using core-shell InP NWs with a radial pn junction than in the NW-LED using InP NWs with an axial pn junction, indicating that radial pn junctions are more suitable for current injection. The electroluminescence (EL) properties of both NW LEDs revealed that the EL had three peaks originating from the zinc-blende (ZB) phase, WZ phase, and ZB/WZ heterojunction. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the dominant EL in the radial pn junction originated from the ZB/WZ interface across the stacking faults.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effect of various rotational motions on the torque/force generation, surface wear, and shaping ability of the ProGlider glide path instrument (Dentsply Sirona). METHODOLOGY Mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals of mandibular molars were selected based on the canal volume, length, angle of curvature (25°-40°), and radius of curvature (4-8 mm) after micro-computed tomographic scanning. The samples were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 13, each) according to movement kinematics [continuous rotation (CR; 300 rpm), optimum torque reverse motion (OTR; 180° forward and 90° reverse when torque > 0.4 N·cm), time-dependent reciprocal motion (TmR; 180° forward and 90° reverse), and optimum glide path motion (OGP; a combination of 90° forward, 90° reverse, 90° forward, and 120° reverse)]. Instrumentation was performed with an automated root canal instrument and torque/force analysing device. Maximum torque/force values, canal volume changes, and canal-centring ratios at 1, 3, 5, and 7 mm were evaluated. Surface defects (pits, grooves, microcracks, blunt cutting edges, and disruption of cutting edges) and spiral distortion on the ProGlider instrument were scored at the tip and 5 mm short of the tip before and after five consecutive uses with scanning electron microscopy. The Kruskal-Wallis test followed by Dunn's post-test with Bonferroni correction and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to analyse the data (α = 0.05). RESULTS OGP generated significantly less clockwise torque and greater upward force than other groups (P < 0.05). OGP resulted in significantly fewer surface defects than CR (P < 0.05). In OGP and CR, the tip exhibited more surface defects than 5 mm short of the tip (P < 0.05). CR resulted in greater volume changes than OGP and TmR (P < 0.05) and greater centring ratios (i.e., more deviation) than OGP at 1 mm and OTR at 3 mm (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Under laboratory conditions using the ProGlider instrument, OGP generated significantly less clockwise torque and greater upward force than the other rotatory motions. OGP generated fewer superficial defects than CR, and the three modes of reciprocal rotation better maintained the apical curvature of root canals than CR with the ProGlider instrument.

Background
At onset of acute heart failure (AHF), various clinical fundamental parameters including vital sign, laboratory data, or initial treatment were investigated, and we can roughly estimate the prognosis. However, machine learning method for prediction of the prognosis was not studied.
Purpose
To elucidate prognostic value of machine learning for AHF comparing conventional statistical model.
Methods
We enrolled consecutive 300 patients with AHF (79.5 ± 12.1 years, 158 Males). Patients with acute coronary syndrome, mechanical circulatory support cases, and cardio-pulmonary arrest cases were excluded. The patients were randomly divided into 80% (240 cases) and 20% (60 cases), and the former was used as train data, and the latter as validation data. Objective variable was set as cardiac death in one year. First, logistic regression analysis with Akaike’s information criterion (AIC) was performed, and extracted predictive parameters. The predictive model for the cardiac prognosis was constructed by cut-off value of ROC curve analysis of propensity score was calculated. Next, machine learning (random forest method and deep learning) to build predictive model was performed with the predictors. Finally, accuracy of each predictive model was compared.
Results
Thirty cases showed cardiac death in one year. Logistic regression with AIC extracted 8 predictors, and the cut off-value of propensity score with the 6 parameters was 0.110. The accuracy was 0.714 and area under ROC (AUROC) was 0.836. Conversely, random forest method demonstrated the accuracy as 0.927, AUROC 0.860. On deep learning, the accuracy was 0.937 and AUROC 0.901.
The top 4 high feature importance of random forest were Cl/red blood cell count/pH/Anion Gap. However, accuracy of those predictors was lower than that of machine learning.
Conclusion
Machine learning was a powerful tool to predict cardiac prognosis of AHF, comparing with conventional statistical model. Abstract Figure. Statistical model

Abstract
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is associated with neuropsychiatric disorders, and patients often present with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We herein report a case of DMD accompanied by ASD that was successfully treated with aripiprazole, an atypical antipsychotic that has been used for treating irritability in child and early adolescent patients with ASD. The patient was diagnosed as having DMD at 3 years of age. Although he developed severe psychotic symptoms including irritability, insomnia, hallucinations, and delusions at 17 years of age, all the symptoms were successfully treated with aripiprazole without any detectable side effects.

Abstract
Introduction: Near-Infrared Photoimmunotherapy (NIR-PIT) is a recently developed hybrid cancer therapy based on photodynamic cytotoxicity and anti-tumor immunopotentiation, utilizing a photosensitive antibody drug (PSAD). A global Phase III trial of NIR-PIT with an anti-EGFR-PSAD in patients with recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is already underway, and NIR-PIT is expected to have therapeutic applications also in malignant gliomas. Methods: In this study, monoclonal antibodies to EGFR and IL13Rα2 were conjugated to the photosensitive dye IRDye700DX (IR700) to produce PSADs (EGFR-Ab/IR700 and IL13Rα2-Ab/IR700) and in vitro PDT assays using these PSADs were performed on four human glioma cell lines (U87MG, U251, U138, A172).Five groups were studied: EGFR-Ab/IR700 monotherapy: 5 μg/ml or 10 μg/ml, IL13Rα2-Ab/IR700 monotherapy: 5 μg/ml or 10 μg/ml, and EGFR-Ab/IR700: 5 μg/ml + IL13Rα2-Ab/IR700: 5 μg/ml combination therapy. The cytotoxic activity of each group was compared after irradiation with 690 nm light at 16 J/cm2. Results: Significantly higher cytotoxic activity was observed in all four glioma cell lines when EGFR-Ab/IR700 and IL13Rα2-Ab/IR700 were used in combination at 5 μg/ml each, than when each PSAD was treated with a doubled dose (10 μg/ml).Conclusion: Malignant gliomas show extensive cellular heterogeneity with diverse expression of cell surface antigens. The present results suggest that a therapeutic strategy using several different photosensitive antibodies simultaneously may lead to the release of tumor antigens from a greater number of tumor cells, resulting in a more efficient host immune response for therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Several patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (per-AF) suffer from recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Various methods to predict the recurrence were tried, but deep learning on 12-leads electrocardiography (ECG) after PVI was not studied.
Purpose
To elucidate diagnostic performance of deep learning on 12-leads ECG after PVI in patients with per-AF
Methods
We enrolled consecutive 109 patients with per-AF who underwent PVI (68.8±10.0 years, 83 males) excluding failure cases. We defined recurrence in 3–12 months after PVI. From the ECG just after PVI, five beats of each lead were sampled separately. Deep learning (convolutional neural network on bitmap ECG image) was performed by transfer learning of Inception-Resnet-V2 model. Gradient weighted class activation color mapping (GradCam) was performed to detect convolutional importance in the lead.
Results
Thirty-six patients showed recurrence in the period. Lead II (accuracy 0.701), aVR (0.690) were the top 2 leads of prediction, which showed larger accuracy than statistical accuracies of Non PV foci = SVC (accuracy = 0.541) and left atrial diameter >50mm (0.596). In lead II, GradCam spotlighted strong convolution of latter half of P wave in recurrent case, and former half of P wave and T wave in no-recurrent case.
Conclusions
Deep learning on ECG was a powerful tool to predict recurrence of per-AF after PVI.

Abstract
A 47-year-old woman presented with progressive limb weakness. A neurological examination revealed proximal dominant symmetrical muscle weakness in her limbs, and electromyography revealed complex repetitive discharges and short motor unit potentials with positive sharp waves in the biceps. We observed early recruitment in the quadriceps, and laboratory tests revealed normal creatine kinase. Serum protein electrophoresis showed monoclonal IgG-lambda, but the bone marrow aspiration specimen was normal. A muscle biopsy revealed nemaline rod accumulations in the muscle fibers; based on the results, we diagnosed the patient with sporadic late-onset nemaline myopathy with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (SLONM-MGUS). We administered repeated intravenous immunoglobulin, but her limb weakness continued, and she developed a restrictive ventilatory defect. The patient received melphalan, followed by autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT). Her upper extremity strength and respiratory capability improved within one year after ASCT; however, it was not until six years after ASCT that her atrophied lower extremities strengthened. A discrepancy in the timeline of treatment response between the upper or respiratory muscles and the atrophied lower limb was characteristic in the patient, suggesting that the efficacy of ASCT on SLONM-MGUS should be evaluated in the long term, especially in severely atrophied muscles. In addition, this case showed that ASCT for SLOMN-MGUS is an effective treatment option in Asian populations.

Abstract
We report ^{51}V NMR and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) measurements on a quasi-1D antiferromagnet BaCo_{2}V_{2}O_{8} under transverse field along the [010] direction. The scaling behavior of the spin-lattice relaxation rate above the Néel temperatures unveils a 1D quantum critical point (QCP) at H_{c}^{1D}≈4.7 T, which is masked by the 3D magnetic order. With the aid of accurate analytical analysis and numerical calculations, we show that the zone center INS spectrum at H_{c}^{1D} is precisely described by the pattern of the 1D quantum Ising model in a magnetic field, a class of universality described in terms of the exceptional E_{8} Lie algebra. These excitations are nondiffusive over a certain field range when the system is away from the 1D QCP. Our results provide an unambiguous experimental realization of the massive E_{8} phase in the compound, and open a new experimental route for exploring the dynamics of quantum integrable systems as well as physics beyond integrability.

Abstract
Objective We report a case of a ruptured aneurysm at the posterior inferior temporal artery (PITA) of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) treated by intra-aneurysmal coil embolization. Case Presentation A 93-year-old man presented with disturbance of consciousness. Angiography revealed a 3-mm aneurysm in the distal PITA of the left PCA. He was diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage due to a ruptured aneurysm. This aneurysm was occluded by intra-aneurysmal coil embolization with preservation of the PITA. Conclusion Distal PITA aneurysm of the PCA is rare. Complete occlusion and preservation of the parent artery were achieved by intra-aneurysmal coil embolization, which may be an effective therapeutic option for such aneurysms.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate how different rotational speeds affect the torque/force generation and shaping ability of rotary root canal instrumentation using JIZAI (MANI, Utsunomiya, Japan) nickel-titanium instruments in continuous rotation and optimum torque reverse (OTR) motion. METHODOLOGY Mesial root canals of extracted mandibular molars were instrumented up to size 25, 0.04 taper using JIZAI instruments, and anatomically matched canals were selected based on geometric features of the canal [canal volume (mm3 ), surface area (mm2 ), length, 15°-20° curvature and radius of curvature (4-8 mm)] after micro-computed tomographic scanning. An automated root canal instrumentation and torque/force analysing device was programmed to permit a simulated pecking motion (2 s downward and 1 s upward at 50 mm min-1 ). The selected canals were prepared with size 25, 0.06 taper JIZAI instruments using continuous rotation or OTR motion and further subdivided according to the rotational speed (300 or 500 rpm, n = 10 each). Real-time clockwise/counterclockwise torque and downward/upward force were recorded using a custom-made torque/force analysing device. Then, the registered pre- and post-operative micro-computed tomographic datasets were examined to evaluate the canal volume changes and centring ratios at 1, 3, 5 and 7 mm from the apical foramen. Data were analysed using two-way analysis of variance or the Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney U test with Bonferroni correction (α = 5%). RESULTS Maximum upward force and clockwise torque were significantly smaller in 500 rpm groups than in 300 rpm groups (P < .05); however, no significant difference was found between continuous rotation and OTR motion (P > .05). OTR motion developed higher maximum counterclockwise torque than continuous rotation (P < .05). Maximum downward force, canal volume changes and centring ratios were not significantly different among all groups (P > .05). There was no file fracture in any of the groups. CONCLUSIONS Under laboratory conditions using JIZAI instruments, a rotational speed of 500 rpm generated significantly lower maximum screw-in forces and torque values than rotational speed of 300 rpm. Continuous rotation and OTR motion performed similarly in shaping the canals.

Abstract
Canine degenerative myelopathy (DM) is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder that has been linked to mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) gene. The accumulation of misfolded protein aggregates in spinal neurons and astrocytes is implicated as an important pathological process in DM; however, the mechanism of protein aggregate formation is largely unknown. In human neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), cell-to-cell propagation of disease-relevant proteins has been demonstrated. Therefore, in this study, propagation of aggregation-forming property of mutant SOD1 protein in DM in vitro was investigated. This study demonstrated that aggregates composed of canine wild type SOD1 protein were increased by co-transfection with canine mutant SOD1 (E40K SOD1), indicating intracellular propagation of SOD1 aggregates. Further, aggregated recombinant SOD1 proteins were released from the cells, taken up by other cells, and induced further aggregate formation of normally folded SOD1 proteins. These results suggest intercellular propagation of SOD1 aggregates. The hypothesis of cell-to-cell propagation of SOD1 aggregates proposed in this study may underly the progressive nature of DM pathology.

Abstract
The management of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) has evolved significantly with the advent of endovascular strategies. Thus, there has been a decline in the number of open AAA repairs once an endovascular option is available. There have also been reports of successful endovascular management of infective native aortic aneurysms (INAA)1, previously called mycotic aneurysms2. The rarity of this condition makes its management a challenging one as there are no standard guidelines. The European Society of Vascular Surgery has suggested that the nomenclature be changed from mycotic aneurysms as this can be misleading to standardise reporting1. The authors' present a case of a 67-year old male who presented during the peak of the Corona Virus pandemic with constitutional gastrointestinal symptoms. He was subsequently diagnosed with an INAA and successfully managed with open Neo-Aorto Iliac System reconstruction with a homograft3. The report highlights various strategies used in the surgical approach and their benefits in the management of INAA. Furthermore, a literature review of Streptococcus (Streptococcus agalactiae) species as a rare cause of INAA and how these cases were managed are also highlighted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The Sofia catheter is a new large-bore aspiration catheter that allows easy access and good reperfusion. In this study, we analyzed the efficacy and safety of the Sofia catheter in comparison with stent retrievers as a contact aspiration thrombectomy (CAT) tool for large vessel occlusion. METHODS We enrolled patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent endovascular thrombectomy from April 2017 and April 2020 in our hospital. Patients were retrospectively reviewed and divided into the stent retriever group (SR), the Sofia group, and all cases group. RESULTS A total of 114 patients were treated during the study period, including 27 in the stent retriever group and 15 in the Sofia group. Higher rates of the first-pass effect (FPE) (37% vs. 47%, P = 0.12) and significantly higher modified FPE (44% vs. 67%, P = 0.001) were observed in patients with SR and Sofia, respectively. Functional independence (modified Rankin Scale ≤2) at 30 days after onset was observed in 30% versus 47% (P = 0.47) of SR and Sofia, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The Sofia Plus is a large-bore aspiration catheter with high FPE and good accessibility. Use of this catheter resulted better angiographic outcome compared with the stent retriever, but there was no difference in clinical outcomes in this study. Further studies are needed to compare in new generation aspiration catheters.

Abstract
This study describes the development of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for the efficient and selective delivery of plasmid DNA (pDNA) to the lungs. The GALA peptide was used as a ligand to target the lung endothelium and as an endosomal escape device. Transfection activity in the lungs was significantly improved when pDNA was encapsulated in double-coated LNPs. The inner coat was composed of dioleoylphsophoethanolamine and a stearylated octaarginine (STR-R8) peptide, while the outer coat was largely a cationic lipid, di-octadecenyl-trimethylammonium propane, mixed with YSK05, a pH-sensitive lipid, and cholesterol. Optimized amounts of YSK05 and GALA were used to achieve an efficient and lung-selective system. The optimized system produced a high gene expression level in the lungs (>107 RLU/mg protein) with high lung/liver and lung/spleen ratios. GALA/R8 modification and the double-coating design were indispensable for efficient gene expression in the lungs. Despite the fact that NPs prepared with 1-step or 2-step coating have the same lipid amount and composition and the same pDNA dose, the transfection activity was dramatically higher in the lungs in the case of 2-step coating. Surprisingly, 1-step or 2-step coatings had no effect on the amount of nanoparticles that were delivered to the lungs, suggesting that the double-coating strategy substantially improved the efficiency of gene expression at the intracellular level.

Abstract
This study reports on the development of a novel lipid combination that permits the efficient and highly selective delivery of plasmid DNA (pDNA) to immune cells in the spleen. Using DODAP, an ionizable lipid that was previously thought to be inefficient for gene delivery, we show for the first time, that this ignored lipid can be successfully used for efficient and targeted gene delivery in vivo, but only when combined with DOPE, a specific helper lipid. Using certain DODAP and DOPE ratios resulted in the formation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) with a ~ 1000-fold higher gene expression, and this expression was specific for the spleen, making it the most spleen-selective system for transfection using pDNA. The developed DODAP/DOPE-LNPs target immune cells in the spleen via receptors for complement C3 and this pathway is critical for efficient gene expression. We hypothesize that the high spleen transfection activity of DODAP/DOPE-LNPs is caused by the promotion of gene expression associated with B cell activation via complement receptors. LNPs encapsulating tumor-antigen encoding pDNA showed both prophylactic and therapeutic anti-tumor effects. The optimized LNPs resulted in the production of different cytokines and antigen-specific antibodies as well as exerting antigen-specific cytotoxic effects. This study revives the use of DODAP in gene delivery and highlights the importance of using appropriate lipid combinations for delivering genes to specific cells.

Abstract
The last few years have witnessed a great advance in the development of nonviral systems for in vivo targeted delivery of nucleic acids. Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the most promising carriers for producing clinically approved products in the future. Compared with other systems used for nonviral gene delivery, LNPs provide several advantages including higher stability, low toxicity, and greater efficiency. Additionally, systems based on LNPs can be modified with ligands and devices for controlled biodistribution and internalization into specific cells. Efforts are ongoing to improve the efficiency of lipid-based gene vectors. These efforts depend on the appropriate design of nanocarriers as well as the development of new lipids with improved gene delivery ability. Several ionizable lipids have recently been developed and have shown dramatically improved efficiency. However, enhancing the ability of nanocarriers to target specific cells in the body remains the most difficult challenge. Systemically administered LNPs can access organs in which the capillaries are characterized by the presence of fenestrations, such as the liver and spleen. The liver has received the most attention to date, although targeted delivery to the spleen has recently emerged as a promising tool for modulating the immune system. In this review, we discuss recent advances in the use of LNPs for cell-specific targeted delivery of nucleic acids. We focus mainly on targeting liver hepatocytes and spleen immune cells as excellent targets for gene therapy. We also discuss the potential of endothelial cells as an alternate approach for targeting organs with a continuous endothelium.

Abstract
Background: The standard treatment for glioblastoma is surgical resection following chemoradiation therapy. The rate of removal or the amount of residual tumor has some impact on the prognosis of patients with glioblastoma, but the highly invasive nature of this tumor makes complete removal limited to the contrast-enhanced lesions difficult due to its localization. Furthermore, when postoperative seizures and venous thrombosis are included in surgery-related complications, these perioperative adverse events can cause delays in the initiation of chemoradiotherapy and delay the return to work and home, such as prolonged hospitalization and rehabilitation time. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the perioperative status of the recent 50 consecutive cases with histologically confirmed as glioblastoma at our hospital, the patient background, tumor localization, and perioperative treatment, and so on. Results: The major perioperative complications were ischemic or hemorrhagic complications, epileptic seizures, venous thrombosis, and pneumonia; CTCAE grade 2 or higher, grade 3 or higher, and grade 4 occurred in about 40%, 20%, and 10%, respectively, with some patients having multiple complications. Discussion: Although there was a tendency for ischemic changes around the cavity of the resection as the resection rate increased, most cases were asymptomatic and it seemed to be acceptable if residual brain function could be preserved. Residual tumors tended to show hemorrhagic changes and epileptic seizures because this is thought to be that the tumor was deliberately left in place to preserve function, based on the localization of the tumor. Postoperative FDP levels were useful in predicting the development of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary artery thromboembolism. Conclusion: Because glioblastoma has short survival time and patient PS before and after surgery varies greatly depending on tumor localization, it is important to consider risk-benefit strategies for each case and to establish a scheme for a seamless transition from perioperative management to the introduction of postoperative therapy and maintenance therapy.

Abstract
Mutations in the valosin-containing protein (VCP) gene are known to cause various neurodegenerative disorders. Here, we report 8 Japanese patients [6 men, 2 women; median age at onset: 49.5 (range, 35-58) years] from 5 unrelated families with VCP missense mutations. Although 7 of 8 patients were diagnosed with either inclusion body myopathy or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, 1 patient showed demyelinating polyneuropathy, which was confirmed by longitudinal nerve conduction studies. Sural nerve biopsy of the patient revealed intranuclear ubiquitin staining in Schwann cells. Three known pathogenic VCP mutations (p.Arg191Gln, p.Arg155Cys, and p.Ile126Phe) were detected. A novel mutation, c.293 A>T (p.Asp98Val), was also identified in a patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. This mutation was predicted to be "deleterious" or "disease causing" using in silico mutation analyses. In conclusion, demyelinating polyneuropathy may be a novel phenotype caused by VCP mutations. The p.Asp98Val mutation was found to be a novel pathogenic mutation of VCP proteinopathy. We believe our cases represent a wide clinical spectrum of VCP mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although most patients with Rathke's cleft cysts (RCCs) remain asymptomatic throughout their lives, visual impairment in RCCs usually indicates surgical interventions, including endoscopic drainage of the cyst. We report a case of RCC with unique findings in the optic nerve root (ONR) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CASE DESCRIPTION A 58-year-old man admitted to our hospital complained of progressive left visual impairment. Preoperative computed tomography MRI revealed a suprasellar cystic lesion that extended anteriorly, and the bilateral ONRs were lateralized with the cyst and were partially enhanced with gadolinium administration. The cyst content was drained, and the cyst wall was partially removed by endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery. Postoperatively, the patient was administered corticosteroid intravenously for 3 days, and his visual acuity improved dramatically. Postoperative MRI revealed that the volume of the cyst decreased, and the position of the bilateral ONRs normalized. Additionally, enhancement of the ONRs with gadolinium administration was not observed. Histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed a ciliated single-layer columnar epithelium with inflammatory cell infiltration. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, we report the first case of a patient with RCC with ONR enhancement with gadolinium administration on MRI. This unique finding might prove that inflammation is one of the causes of visual impairment in RCC as in optic neuritis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Dual-isotope (low doze 201TlCl and 123I-β-methyl-P-iodophenyl-pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP)) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is utilized to estimate myocardial damage in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). However, predictive model construction on the SPECT for cardiac death by machine learning was not studied.
Purpose
To elucidate predictive value of machine learning model on dual-isotope SPECT for CHF.
Methods
We enrolled consecutive 310 patients who admitted with CHF (77.1±3.1 years, 164 males). After initial treatment, they underwent electrocardiography gated SPECT and observed in median 507 days [IQR: 165, 1032]. Multivariate Cox regression analysis for cardiac death was performed, and predictive model was constructed by ROC curve analysis and machine learning (Random Forest and Deep Learning). The accuracies (= [True positive + True negative] / Total) of the prediction models were compared with ROC curve model.
Results
Thirty-six patients fell into cardiac death. Cox analysis showed Age, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), summed rest score (SRS) of BMIPP, and mismatch score were significant predictors (Hazard ratio: 1.068, 0.970, 1.032, 1.092, P value: <0.001, 0.014, 0.002, <0.001, respectively). ROC curve analysis of them revealed the accuracy of the cut-off value was 0.479–0.773. Conversely, machine learning model demonstrated higher accuracy for cardiac death (Random Forest: 0.895, Deep Learning: 0.935). The top 4 feature importance of the random forest were LVEF (0.299), SRS BMIPP (0.263), Age (0.262), and mismatch score (0.160).
Conclusion
Machine learning model on SPECT was superior to conventional statistic model for predicting cardiac death in patients with CHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Bioabsorbable polymer drug eluting stents (BP-DESs) were designed to reduce a vascular inflammatory reaction compared to durable polymer drug eluting stents (DP-DESs). However, few studies have compared vascular responses to BP-DESs and DP-DESs.
Methods
We enrolled 88 consecutive patients with single culprit coronary artery lesions (31 lesions with acute coronary syndrome) undergoing a single stent-implantation. BP-DESs and DP-DESs were implanted in 50 (57%) and 38 patients (43%), respectively. All lesions underwent optical coherence tomography examination at chronic phase and intrastent OCT findings at the follow-up were evaluated in every 1-mm cross-sections (CSs).
Results
A total of 1887 CSs (BP-DES: 1096, DP-DES: 791) were analyzed. The median period of follow-up OCT was 293 (250–374) days. There were no differences in the patient, lesion, and initial clinical presentation of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). BP-DESs had significantly higher percent neointimal hyperplasia area, defined as neointimal hyperplasia area divided by stent area x 100 (18.4±9.0% vs. 16.1±9.9%, p<0.001), fewer malapposed struts (1.7% vs. 3.9%, p=0.005), fewer uncovered struts (3.6% vs. 5.8%, p=0.02) but higher frequency of superficial low intensity neointima (LIN) (7.7% vs. 3.4%, p<0.001). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that BP-DES (OR: 2.5, 95% CI: 1.49–4.08, p<0.001) and the initial clinical presentation of ACS (OR: 2.31, 95% CI: 1.47–3.62, p<0.001) are independent predictive factors for LIN.
Conclusion
BP-DESs showed homogenous neointimal growth and complete stent coverage quantitatively. Meanwhile, the significant relationships of BP-DES with LIN may suggest that the neointimal quality remains immature in BP-DESs in this period.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Histopathological analysis or intracoronary image assessment of healed plaques (HPs) has been reported both in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and stable angina pectoris (SAP) patients. However, background characteristics or lesion morphologies of HPs could not be fully clarified and their differences according to the clinical status remain undetermined.
Purpose
We sought to investigate the clinical and morphological characteristics and compare their differences among ACS and SAP patients in order to clarify the clinical significance in HPs lesions.
Methods
We enrolled consecutive 201 patients with 213 native coronary artery lesions (139 lesions with SAP, 42 ST elevation-ACS (STE-ACS) and 32 non-ST elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS) undergoing pre-intervention optical coherence tomography (OCT). HPs was defined as layered phenotype on OCT. Clinical and angiography characteristics and lesion morphologies on OCT were assessed.
Results
HPs were observed in 110 lesions (51.6%) and their prevalence were not different according to the clinical status (SAP:55.1%, STE-ACS:38.1%, NSTE-ACS:56.3%, p=0.14). Lesions with HPs had higher frequencies of angiography-eccentric lesions (62.7% vs. 35.9%, p<0.001) and OCT-macrophages (65.5% vs. 43.1%, p<0.001), and greater OCT-lumen area stenosis (%-AS) (77.1±10.2% vs. 73.6±10.6%, p=0.01) than those without HPs. Of lesions with HPs, OCT-thin-cap fibroatheroma (SAP 14.4%, STE-AC43.8%, NSTE-ACS 16.7%, p=0.03), plaque rupture (5.3%; 37.5%; 11.1%, p<0.001) and thrombus (6.6%, 75.0%, 22.2%, p=0.007) were more frequently observed in STE-ACS than in SAP patients, whereas OCT-microvessels were more frequent in SAP than in ACS patients (19.7%, 0.0%, 0.0%, p=0.02). Other OCT findings such as macrophages, cholesterol crystal, multiple layered phenotype, and %-AS were not significantly different according to the clinical status. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified the angiography-eccentric lesions (odds ratio (OR): 2.97, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.68–5.25, p<0.001) and OCT macrophages (OR 2.41, 95% CI 1.36–4.27, p=0.003) as independent related factors for the existence of HPs.
Conclusions
The present study showed that HPs lesions had eccentric and large plaque burden, and persistent plaque inflammations regardless of clinical status, which might lead to future coronary events.
