Abstract
AIMS Amikacin requires therapeutic drug monitoring for optimum efficacy; however, the optimal model-informed precision dosing strategy for the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of amikacin is uncertain. This simulation study aimed to determine the efficient blood sampling points using the Bayesian forecasting approach for early achievement of the target AUC range for amikacin in critically ill patients. METHODS We generated a virtual population of 3000 individuals using 2 validated population pharmacokinetic models identified using a systematic literature search. AUC for each blood sampling point was evaluated using the probability of achieving a ratio of estimated/reference AUC at steady state in the 0.8-1.2 range. RESULTS On day 1, the 1-point samplings for population pharmacokinetic models showed a priori probabilities of 26.3 and 45.6%, which increased to 47.3 and 94.4% at 23 and 15 h, respectively. Using 2-point sampling at the peak (3 and 4 h) and trough (24 h) on day 1, these probabilities further increased to 72.3 and 99.5%, respectively. These probabilities were comparable on days 2 and 3, regardless of 3 and 6 sampling points or estimated glomerular filtration rate. These results indicated the higher predictive accuracy of 2-point sampling than 1-point sampling on day 1 for amikacin AUC estimation. Moreover, 2-point sampling was a more reasonable approach than rich sampling. CONCLUSIONS This study contributes to the development of an efficient model-informed precision dosing strategy for early targeting of amikacin AUC in critically ill patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop an imaging prediction model for patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), we investigated the association of topographic diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) patterns with potential embolic sources (PES) identified by transesophageal echocardiography. METHODS From a total of 992 consecutive patients with embolic stroke, 366 patients with the ESUS group were selected. ESUS was defined as no atrial fibrillation (Af) within 24h from admission and no PES after general examination. Clinical variables include age (> 80years, 70-80 years), sex, vascular risk factors and left atrial diameter > 4 cm. Age, sex and vascular risk factors adjusted odds ratio of each DWI for the different PESs were calculated. DWI was determined based on the arterial territories. Middle cerebral arteries were divided into 4 segments, i.e., M1-M4. Moreover, M2 segments were subdivided into superior and inferior branches. RESULTS The 366 patients consisted of 168 with paroxysmal Af (pAf), 77 with paradoxical embolism, 71 with aortic embolism and 50 with undetermined embolism after transesophageal echocardiography. The variables adjusted odds ratio (OR) of internal carotid artery (OR: 12.1, p = 0.037), M1 (4.2, p = 0.001), inferior M2 (7.5, p = 0.0041) and multiple cortical branches (12.6, p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in patients with pAf. Striatocapsular infarction (12.5, p < 0.0001) and posterior inferior cerebellar artery infarcts (3.6, p = 0.018) were significantly associated with paradoxical embolism. Clinical variables adjusted OR of multiple small scattered infarcts (8.3, p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in patients with aortic embolism. CONCLUSION The associations of DWI with different PES have their distinctive characteristics and DWI along with clinical variables may help predict PES in patients with ESUS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data regarding shorter life expectancy after aortic valve replacement (AVR) in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). METHODS Among 3815 patients with severe AS enrolled in the CURRENT AS (Contemporary outcomes after sURgery and medical tREatmeNT in patients with severe Aortic Stenosis) registry, there were 1469 patients (initial AVR: n = 647; conservative strategy: n = 822) with low surgical risk, 1642 patients (initial AVR: n = 433; conservative strategy: n = 1209) with intermediate surgical risk, and 704 patients (initial AVR: n = 117; conservative strategy: n = 587) with high surgical risk. Among 1163 patients who actually underwent surgical AVR as the initial strategy, patients were divided into 4 groups according to age <65 years (n = 185), 65 to 74 (n = 394), 75 to 80 (n = 345), and >80 (n = 239). The expected survival of the general Japanese population was obtained from the Statistics Bureau of Japan. The surgical risk was estimated using The Society of Thoracic Surgery (STS) score. RESULTS The median follow-up was 3.7 years. The cumulative incidences of all-cause death were significantly lower in the initial AVR strategy than in the initial conservative strategy across the 3 STS groups. Shorter life expectancy after surgical AVR was seen especially in younger patients. The observed mortality in low-risk patients was comparable to the expected mortality across all the age-groups, while intermediate-risk patients aged <75 years, and high-risk patients across all age-groups had higher mortality compared with the expected mortality. CONCLUSIONS The risk stratification according to age and STS score might be useful to estimate shorter life expectancy after AVR, and these findings have implications for decision making in the choice of surgical or transcatheter AVR.

Abstract
In this study, we aimed to evaluate limited sampling strategies for achieving the therapeutic ranges of the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) of vancomycin on the first and second day (AUC0-24 , AUC24-48 , respectively) of therapy. A virtual population of 1000 individuals was created using a population pharmacokinetic (PopPK) model, which was validated and incorporated into our model-informed precision dosing tool. The results were evaluated using six additional PopPK models selected based on a study design of prospective or retrospective data collection with sufficient concentrations. Bayesian forecasting was performed to evaluate the probability of achieving the therapeutic range of AUC, defined as a ratio of estimated/reference AUC within 0.8-1.2. The Bayesian posterior probability of achieving the AUC24-48 range increased from 51.3% (a priori probability) to 77.5% after using two-point sampling at the trough and peak on the first day. Sampling on the first day also yielded a higher Bayesian posterior probability (86.1%) of achieving the AUC0-24 range compared to the a priori probability of 60.1%. The Bayesian posterior probability of achieving the AUC at steady-state (AUCSS ) range by sampling on the first or second day decreased with decreased kidney function. We demonstrated that second-day trough and peak sampling provided accurate AUC24-48 , and first-day sampling may assist in rapidly achieving therapeutic AUC24-48 , although the AUCSS should be re-estimated in patients with reduced kidney function owing to its unreliable predictive performance.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) The effectiveness of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been shown in many studies and its therapeutic effect is similar to radiofrequency ablation (RFA). However, many of these studies were done in combination with transcatheter chemoembolization (TACE), for recurrent HCC, or on a small scale. To better understand the specific outcomes of SBRT for HCC, we conducted a multicenter retrospective analysis of SBRT for previously untreated initial HCC at Japanese Society of Clinical Oncology (JCOG) member hospitals. MATERIALS/METHODS Patientswho underwent SBRT for HCC at JCOG member hospitals between July 2013 and December 2017 and met the following eligibility criteria were included: (1) initial HCC; (2) ≤ 3 nodules, ≤ 5 cm in diameter; (3) a Child-Pugh (CP) score of A or B; and (4) unsuitability for or refusal of standard treatment, such as surgery, transplantation, RFA and TACE. We evaluated the overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) which was defined as the first instance of intra-hepatic recurrence after SBRT, disease-specific survival (DSS) using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Using Grey's test, patients who died of other diseases were analyzed as competing risks to estimate the cumulative incidence of local recurrence (CLR). Adverse events directly related to SBRT also analyzed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0). RESULTS Seventy-three patients with 79 lesions from 14 hospitals were analyzed. The median age was 77 years (range; 50-89 years), and the median tumor size was 23 mm (range; 6-50 mm). The median radiation dose was 40 Gy (range; 35-60 Gy) in five fractions (range; 4-8). The median follow-up period was 45 months (range; 0-103 months). There were three cases where follow-up was not possible due to unexpected events unrelated to SBRT, while the remaining 70 patients were successfully followed for at least six months. The 2 and 3year OS, RFS, DSS, and CLR rates were 84.3% (95% CI: 75.8-92.8%) and 69.9% (95% CI: 58.7-81%), 67.5% (95% CI: 56.0-79.0%) and 57.9% (95% CI: 45.2-70.5%), 95.1% (95% CI:89.7-100%)/87.6% (95% CI:78.8-96.3%), and 11.4% (95% CI: 5.3-20.0%) and 20.0% (95% CI: 11.2-30.5%), respectively. Four cases (5.5%) of adverse events of grade 3 or higher were reported: one case of grade 3 laboratory toxicities, one case of grade 3 liver failure, one case of grade 3 portal tumor thrombosis, and one case of grade 4 duodenal ulcer. No grade 5 toxicities were observed. CONCLUSION The results of our study demonstrate that SBRT for HCC is highly effective in achieving local control and is safe to administer. In addition, survival outcomes are favorable. SBRT is a promising treatment modality, especially for small HCCs for that is not suitable for standard treatment.

Abstract
Flutamide is a non-steroidal anti-androgen agent, which is mainly used for the treatment of prostate cancer. Flutamide is known to cause severe adverse events, which includes idiosyncratic liver injury. However, details of the mechanism of these adverse reactions have not been elucidated. We investigated whether flutamide induces the release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) that activate inflammasomes. We also tested bicalutamide, enzalutamide, apalutamide, and darolutamide for their ability to activate inflammasomes in differentiated THP-1 cells. The supernatant from the incubation of flutamide and bicalutamide with human hepatocarcinoma functional liver cell-4 (FLC-4) cells increased caspase-1 activity and production of IL-1ß by differentiated THP-1 cells. In the supernatant of FLC-4 cells with flutamide and bicalutamide, the heat shock protein (HSP) 40 or 60 was significantly increased. Addition of a carboxylesterase or a CYP inhibitor to the FLC-4 cells prevented release of HSPs from the FLC-4 cells. These results suggested that the reactive metabolites of flutamide and bicalutamide can cause the release of DAMPs from hepatocytes and activate inflammasomes. Inflammasome activation may be an important step in the activation of the immune system by flutamide or bicalutamide, which in some patients, can cause immune-related adverse events.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) after open-heart surgery is a non-negligible complication. We aimed to describe the efficacy of a transdermal patch of bisoprolol for managing POAF and flutter in thoracic surgical procedures. METHODS We analyzed the data of 384 patients who underwent open-heart surgery at our hospital and received oral bisoprolol to prevent POAF. Among them, 65 patients (16.9%) also received a 4-mg transdermal patch of bisoprolol to control the heart rate due to POAF. We applied the bisoprolol transdermal patch when the heart rate was > 80 bpm and removed it at ≤ 60 bpm; an additional patch was applied when the heart rate was > 140 bpm. Heparin calcium injections were administered twice daily for anticoagulation between 2 and 6 days postoperatively. RESULTS The average number of prescriptions for transdermal patches of bisoprolol during hospitalization was 1.8 ± 1.1 (1-5). The median first prescription date was on postoperative day 2 (range: days 0-37). Sinus rhythm recovered within 24 h in 18 patients (27.7%). Eight patients (12.3%) were switched to continuous landiolol infusion because of persistent tachycardia. In three patients, the transdermal patch was removed owing to severe bradycardia. Fifteen patients experienced persistent atrial fibrillation and were treated with electrical cardioversion during hospitalization. We did not observe any serious complications that could be directly attributed to bisoprolol transdermal patch use. CONCLUSIONS Single-use bisoprolol transdermal patch may help control the heart rate during the initial treatment of POAF after open-heart surgery.

Abstract
Samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu were brought to Earth by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. We analyzed 17 Ryugu samples measuring 1 to 8 millimeters. Carbon dioxide-bearing water inclusions are present within a pyrrhotite crystal, indicating that Ryugu's parent asteroid formed in the outer Solar System. The samples contain low abundances of materials that formed at high temperatures, such as chondrules and calcium- and aluminum-rich inclusions. The samples are rich in phyllosilicates and carbonates, which formed through aqueous alteration reactions at low temperature, high pH, and water/rock ratios of <1 (by mass). Less altered fragments contain olivine, pyroxene, amorphous silicates, calcite, and phosphide. Numerical simulations, based on the mineralogical and physical properties of the samples, indicate that Ryugu's parent body formed ~2 million years after the beginning of Solar System formation.

Abstract
Teicoplanin, a glycopeptide antimicrobial, is recommended for therapeutic drug monitoring, but it remains unclear how to target the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC). This simulation study purposed to demonstrate the potential of the Bayesian forecasting approach for the rapid achievement of the target AUC for teicoplanin. We generated concordant and discordant virtual populations against a Japanese population pharmacokinetic model. The predictive performance of the Bayesian posterior AUC in limited sampling on the first day against the reference AUC was evaluated as an acceptable target AUC ratio within the range of 0.8-1.2. In the concordant population, the probability for the maximum a priori or Bayesian posterior AUC on the first day (AUC0-24 ) was 61.3% or more than 77.0%, respectively. The Bayesian posterior AUC on the second day (AUC24-48 ) was more than 75.1%. In the discordant population, the probability for the maximum a priori or Bayesian posterior AUC0-24 was 15.5% or 11.7-80.7%, respectively. The probability for the maximum a priori or Bayesian posterior AUC24-48 was 23.4%, 30.2-82.1%. The AUC at steady-state (AUCSS ) was correlated with trough concentration at steady-state, with a coefficient of determination of 0.930; the coefficients on days 7 and 4 were 0.442 and 0.125, respectively. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that early sampling could improve the probability of AUC0-24 and AUC24-48 but did not adequately predict AUCSS . Further studies are necessary to apply early sampling-based model-informed precision dosing in the clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although acetaminophen is recommended for the treatment of mild-to-moderate cancer pain, acetaminophen-induced hepatic disorders pose an important clinical challenge. Concomitant prescription of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) may further increase the risk of hepatic disorders in patients taking acetaminophen; however, there are few clinical studies that confirm this. AIM To evaluate the risk of hepatic disorders in patients taking concomitant acetaminophen and ICIs using a disproportionality analysis from the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database. METHOD Acetaminophen users aged ≥ 20 years were included; factors that can affect the risk of acetaminophen-induced hepatic disorders were collated. Similar data on the widely used analgesic, loxoprofen, were used for comparison. RESULTS Among 233,594 patients surveyed, 10,403 were prescribed acetaminophen, and among them, 1,245 patients developed hepatic disorders. The disproportionality of hepatic disorders was observed in acetaminophen users regardless of concomitant ICI use (without ICI: reporting odds ratio [ROR], 1.18; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.10-1.26; with ICI: ROR 1.87, 95%CI 1.59-2.20); it was even higher in concomitant acetaminophen and ICI users (ROR 1.94, 95%CI 1.65-2.29). However, increased disproportionality of hepatic disorders was not observed in patients taking concomitant loxoprofen and ICI. Multivariable logistic regression showed that the risk of hepatic disorders in acetaminophen users was associated with concomitant use of ICI (ROR, 1.91; 95% CI, 1.49-2.45); (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the risk of hepatic disorders is greater with concomitant acetaminophen and ICI treatment than with acetaminophen alone.

Abstract
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in healthy adults can rapidly lead to severe outcomes. We treated a case of P. aeruginosa-induced CAP and concurrent severe coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in a healthy 39-year-old man without other serious risk factors for severe illness except smoking. Immediately after admission, the patient developed sepsis and received intensive broad-spectrum antibacterial therapy with meropenem and vancomycin, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VAECMO), and catecholamine supplementation. Despite receiving multidisciplinary treatment, the patient died within 24 hours. P. aeruginosa with normal antimicrobial susceptibility was identified in blood and sputum cultures of samples taken at admission. Gram staining of the bacteria detected in blood cultures was suspicious for non-glucose-fermenting Gram-negative rods, including P. aeruginosa, and the antimicrobial regimen that was initiated following admission was considered effective. The patient was a plumber and a smoker, which are risk factors for P. aeruginosa-induced CAP, and the clinical course matched those in previous reports of P. aeruginosa-induced CAP, including necrotizing pneumonia with cavities and rapid progression of sepsis. Although COVID-19 can be the sole cause of septic shock, the combination of P. aeruginosa bacteremia and COVID-19 was possibly the cause of septic shock in this case. Even during an infectious disease pandemic, reviewing the patient's occupational history and comorbidities and performing blood and sputum culture tests, including Gram staining, are important for the provision of appropriate treatment.

Abstract
The diverse series of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) materials has been employed in various optoelectronic applications, such as photodetectors, light-emitting diodes, and lasers. Typically, the detection or emission range of optoelectronic devices is unique to the bandgap of the active material. Therefore, to improve the capability of these devices, extensive efforts have been devoted to tune the bandgap, such as gating, strain, and dielectric engineering. However, the controllability of these methods is severely limited (typically ≈0.1 eV). In contrast, alloying TMDCs is an effective approach that yields a composition-dependent bandgap and enables light emissions over a wide range. In this study, a color-tunable light-emitting device using compositionally graded TMDC alloys is fabricated. The monolayer WS2 /WSe2 alloy grown by chemical vapor deposition shows a spatial gradient in the light-emission energy, which varies from 2.1 to 1.7 eV. This alloy is incorporated in an electrolyte-based light-emitting device structure that can tune the recombination zone laterally. Thus, a continuous and reversible color-tunable light-emitting device is successfully fabricated by controlling the light-emitting positions. The results provide a new approach for exploring monolayer semiconductor-based broadband optical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Using a prospective observational design, we assessed adverse events (AEs) after COVID-19 vaccination in Japanese patients. METHODS Two doses of the mRNA-1273 (SPIKEVAX®) or BNT162b2 (COMIRNATY®) vaccine were administered to participants aged 12 to 18 years, and AEs after each dose were recorded for 14 days. Data on the duration and nature (local vs. systemic) of AEs were collected using a questionnaire. Sex-based differences in AE frequency were also analyzed. RESULTS After the first and second doses, 152 and 135 vaccinees were enrolled, respectively. After the first dose, fever (>37.1°C) occurred in 38.9% of males and 50.0% of females, whereas local pain occurred in 89.8% and 97.7% of males and females, respectively (only SPIKEVAX® was used as the first dose). After the second dose, fever (>37.1°C) occurred in 77.8% and 82.6% of males vaccinated with COMIRNATY® and SPIKEVAX®, respectively, and 82.6% of females (all received SPIKEVAX®). The local pain rates in these groups were 80.6%, 76.3%, and 100%, respectively. After the second dose, local pain, fever (>38.1°C) and headache were significantly more common in female participants, and the median symptom duration was 3 days. CONCLUSIONS AEs were more frequent after the second dose and in females.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Systemic inflammation resulting from comorbidities is postulated to play a central role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Lymphopenia is a common manifestation of systemic inflammation and a prognostic factor in patients with HF. However, the association of lymphopenia with the comorbidity burden is unknown, and its prognostic value in patients with HFpEF admitted due to acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) also remains elusive.
Purpose
We sought to clarify the relation of lymphopenia with the comorbidity burden, as well as its prognostic value and complementarity with the Get with the Guidelines-Heart Failure (GWTG-HF) risk score in ADHF patients with HFpEF.

Patients' data were extracted from the Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT-HFpEF), which is a prospective multicentre registry for patients with ADHF with a LVEF ≥50%. We analysed data of patients admitted between June 2016 and December 2020 who survived to discharge. The total lymphocyte count (per μL) and GWTG-HF risk score were obtained on admission, as previously reported. Comorbidity burden was defined as the number of comorbidities from the following: atrial fibrillation, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, anaemia, and obesity. The study endpoint was all-cause death.
Results
Over a median follow-up of 417 days, 181 of the 1013 included patients died. The proportion of patients with a total lymphocyte count in the lowest tertile was increasing with the increase in comorbidity burden (Figure 1). In the multivariate Cox analysis, a total lymphocyte count in the intermediate (hazard ratio [HR] 1.55, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.00–2.41, p=0.0486) and lowest tertile (HR 2.23, 95% CI 1.47–3.38, p=0.0002) was independently associated with all-cause death. There was a significant difference in the all-cause death rate among the groups stratified by total lymphocyte count tertile (Figure 2). The total lymphocyte count had a higher C-statistic value (0.627) for the prediction of all-cause death than the GWTG-HF risk score, and the C-statistic value of the GWTG-HF risk score was improved when the total lymphocyte count was added (0.613 to 0.636, p=0.0260).
Conclusions
Lymphopenia was significantly associated with comorbidity burden. Furthermore, it was a useful marker of poor prognosis in hospitalised patients with acute HFpEF and was shown to be complementary to the contemporary HF prognostic score.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a chronic and progressive disease, but limited therapeutic strategies are currently available. Although left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) is a prominent mechanism of HFpEF, a certain number of patients with HFpEF have a normal diastolic function (ND) or indeterminate diastolic function (ID). With the progressive nature of HFpEF, diastolic function may change over time. However, the change of diastolic function, its predictor and prognosis in patients with clinically established HFpEF remains unknown.
Purpose
To investigate the clinical trajectory and outcomes of patients with HFpEF with ND or ID and to identify factors associated with progression from ND or ID at discharge to DD at 1-year follow-up.
Methods
Using data from a prospective multicenter observational study of patients with HFpEF, we extracted 289 patients with HFpEF with ND or ID at discharge who had echocardiographic data at 1-year follow-up for the re-evaluation of diastolic function. Diastolic function was assessed according to the 2016 American Society of Echocardiography recommendations. Patients were classified according to the absence or presence of progression from ND or ID to DD at 1 year. The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause death and HF rehospitalization.
Results
Median age was 81 years, and 138 (47.8%) patients were female. At 1 year, 107 (37%) patients progressed to DD. During a median follow-up of 709 days, the composite endpoint occurred in 90 (31.1%) patients. Compared to patients without progression to DD, those with progression to DD had a significantly higher cumulative incidence rate of the composite endpoint (incidence rate: 11.7/100 person-year versus 23.3/100 person-year, P<0.001). Progression to DD (adjusted HR: 2.014, 95% CI: 1.239–3.273, P=0.005) was independently associated with the composite endpoint. Age (adjusted OR: 1.046, 95% CI: 1.008–1.087, P=0.018), body mass index (BMI) (adjusted OR: 1.107, 95% CI: 1.029–1.192, P=0.006), and serum albumin (adjusted OR: 0.459, 95% CI: 0.216–0.974, P=0.042) were independently associated with progression from ND or ID to DD at 1 year.
Conclusion
More than one-third of patients with HFpEF with ND or ID progressed to DD at 1 year and had poor clinical outcomes. Age, BMI, and serum albumin were independently associated with this progression.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The effectiveness of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) has not been demonstrated in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We recently reported significant interaction between the use of ACE-I and/or ARB (ACE-I/ARB) and frailty on prognosis in patients with HFpEF.
Purpose
In the present study, we examined the association between ACE-I/ARB and prognosis in patients with HFpEF stratified by the presence or absence of frailty.
Methods
We examined the association between the use of ACE-I/ARB and prognosis according to the presence (Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) ≥5) or absence (CFS ≤4) of frailty in patients with HFpEF in a post-hoc analysis of registry data. Primary endpoint was the composite of all-cause mortality and heart failure admission. Secondary endpoints were all-cause mortality and heart failure admission.
Results
Of 1059 patients, median age was 83 years and 45% were male. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the risk of composite endpoint (log-rank P=0.001) and all-cause death (log-rank P=0.005) in patients with ACE-I/ARB was lower in those with CFS ≥5, but similar between patients with and without ACE-I/ARB in patients with CFS ≤4 (composite endpoint: log-rank P=0.830; all-cause death: log-rank P=0.192). In a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, use of ACE-I/ARB was significantly associated with lower risk of the composite endpoint (hazard ratio = 0.52, 95% CI: 0.33–0.83, P=0.005) and heart failure admission (hazard ratio = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.25–0.83, P=0.010) in patients with CFS ≥5, but not in patients with CFS ≤4 (composite endpoint: hazard ratio = 1.41, 95% CI: 0.99–2.02, P=0.059; heart failure admission: hazard ratio = 1.43, 95% CI: 0.94–2.18, P=0.091). The association between ACE-I or ARB and prognosis did not significantly differ by CFS (CFS ≤4: log-rank P=0.562; CFS ≥5: log-rank P=0.100, for with ACE-I vs. ARB, respectively). Adjusted HRs for CFS 1–4 were higher than 1.0, but were less than 1.0 at CFS 5.
Conclusions
In patients with HFpEF, use of ACE-I/ARB was associated with better prognosis in patients with frailty as assessed with the CFS, but not in those without frailty.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Improvement of quality of life (QOL) is one of the most important therapeutic goals for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). It is, therefore, clinically relevant to comprehensively identify aggravating factors among cardiac factors, non-cardiac comorbidities, and social factors. The aim of this study was to elucidate determinant factors of impaired QOL and clarify the association between QOL and prognosis in patients with HFpEF.
Methods and results
Patient data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study. EuroQol 5 dimensions 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) data were obtained at discharge to evaluate patients' health-related QOL. A total of 864 patients were enrolled in this study. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that only non-cardiac factors such as age, female sex, frailty, malnutrition and inflammation were significantly associated with low EQ-5D-5L score, whereas cardiac factors showed no significant association after multivariable adjustment. A total of 206 patients died over a mean follow-up period of 2.0±1.2 years. Kaplan–Meier survival curve analysis demonstrated a significant increase in risk of mortality stratified by tertiles of EQ-5D-5L score (p<0.0001). Cox multivariable analysis revealed that patients with low EQ-5D-5L score had a significantly greater risk of mortality than those with high EQ-5D-5L score (adjusted hazard ratio: 2.20 (1.40–3.45), p=0.001).
Conclusion
Among patients with HFpEF, non-cardiac factors such as age, female sex, frailty, malnutrition and inflammation are significantly associated with impaired QOL. The QOL score itself also offers useful prognostic information in patients with HFpEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There are several reports showing that elevated heart rate (HR) is associated with poor outcomes in patients in sinus rhythm (SR) with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), although the association is weak or none in HFpEF patients with atrial fibrillation (Af). However, in previous studies, cardiac and non-cardiac factors which may be associated with elevated HR, have not been fully adjusted for.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to explore covariates of elevated HR and to investigate the relationship between heart rate and mortality in HFpEF patients in SR.
Methods and results
Of the 1161 patients, who registered prospective multicenter, observational study of patients with HFpEF (PURSUIT-HFpEF), 726 patients in SR were examined. We performed laboratory testing and echocardiography in the compensated stage (in stable condition after treatment of acute decompensated HF). Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) was calculated as nutrition index. Resting heart rate (HR) was analyzed as categorical (tertiles, T1–3). We followed the patients for median of 598 days (interquartile range 329–1028 days) to observe the outcome all-cause mortality.
The Kaplan analysis revealed that there was a significant difference between heart rate and mortality (log-rank, p=0.001). Characteristics were compared between patients in T1 (HR ≤63) and T3 (HR ≥75). There were no differences in cardiac factors between patients in T1 and T3. C-reactive protein (CRP) was significantly higher in patients in T3 than those in T1 (p=0.0004,). GNRI was significantly lower in patients in T3 than those in T1 (p=0.001). After adjustment for covariates including N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide and estimated glomerular filtration rate, CRP and GNRI significantly correlated with HR (continuous variable) by multiple regression analysis (beta-coefficient = 1.52, p=0.003 and beta-coefficient = −0.14, p=0.04, respectively). Taking T1 as the reference, multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that T3 was independently associated with mortality (hazard ratio: 2.10, 95% confidence interval: 1.33–3.32, p=0.001).
Conclusion
Although elevated HR was associated with enhanced inflammation and malnutrition, it itself was an independent predictor of death in HFpEF patients in SR.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Malnutrition and inflammation are associated with poor outcomes with heart failure (HF). It has been reported that advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI), calculated by body mass index × serum albumin level / neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) can be useful for the risk stratification and predicting the post-discharge prognosis of the patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). However, there is no information available on the prognostic value of the serial ALI change in ADHF patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Methods and results
Patients' data were extracted from The Prospective mUlticenteR obServational stUdy of patIenTs with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (PURSUIT HFpEF) study, which is a prospective multicenter observational registry for ADHF-HFpEF in Osaka. Laboratory data and body weight measurements were performed at the discharge and 1 year after the discharge. We analyzed 527 patients after exclusion of patients on dialysis, in-hospital death, missing follow-up data, or missing data to calculate ALI. The study patients were categorized by the serial change from baseline to 1 year after the discharge (ΔALI) as follows: low tertile: ΔALI <−6.99 (n=176), middle tertile: −6.99 ≤ ALI <8.44 (n=176), and high tertile: 8.44 ≤ ΔALI (n=175). The endpoints of the present study were all-cause death (ACD) and cardiovascular death (CVD). During a mean follow-up period of 1.5±1.0 years, 94 patients had ACD and 40 patients had CVD. The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the patients with middle and low ΔALI at 1 year after heart failure hospitalization had a significantly greater risk of reaching the ACD and CVD than those with high ΔALI (ACD: 22% vs 22% vs 10%, p=0.0011, CVD: 10% vs 9% vs 3%, p=0.014). On multivariate Cox analysis, ΔALI was significantly associated with ACD independently of age, gender, serum NT-proBNP level, and baseline ALI after adjustment for NYHA functional class, serum creatinine level, serum hemoglobin level, serum CRP level, serum sodium level and LVEF.
Conclusion
This study showed that patients with the increased ALI after the discharge had improved outcome in comparison to those without the increased ALI. The serial change of ALI, a systemic inflammation-nutrition index, might be useful for stratifying ADHF patients with HFpEF at risk for the total mortality and cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract
Massive pulmonary artery aneurysms, while extremely rare, might require surgical intervention. Most previous cases have been repaired either by pulmonary artery plication or synthetic graft replacement. We report a case of massive pulmonary artery aneurysm that was successfully repaired using an 'overlapping-plasty' technique with the help of 3D image simulation. This specially designed procedure might be useful as a surgical option for pulmonary artery aneurysms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A 1% potassium peroxymonosulphate-based environmental disinfectant (PPED) produces sodium hypochlorite when combined with sodium chloride, which functions as a disinfectant. However, little is known about the impact of hospital cleaning with PPED on hospital-onset Clostridioides difficile infection (HO-CDI). AIM To reduce HO-CDI, we promote antimicrobial stewardship and hospital ward cleaning with PPED. This study was conducted to evaluate their impact. METHODS We began a promotion of post-prescription review with feedback for broad-spectrum antimicrobials and hospital ward cleaning with PPED. We reviewed the ratio of HO-CDI, PPED consumption, and days of therapy (DOT) of broad-spectrum antimicrobials between July 2014 and March 2018, dividing this time into the pre-promotion (July 2014 to June 2015) and post-promotion periods (July 2015 to March 2018). FINDINGS Using interrupted time series analysis, an immediate significant change in HO-CDI was observed after intervention (P = 0.03), although a downward trend was not observed over this period (P = 0.19). Trends in PPED consumption significantly changed over this period (P = 0.02). DOT of carbapenems decreased immediately after the intervention began (P < 0.01). A Poisson regression analysis showed that PPED consumption and DOT of carbapenems were independent factors affecting HO-CDI (P = 0.039 and 0.016, respectively). CONCLUSION We revealed that DOT of carbapenems and use of PPED were associated with the HO-CDI ratio and that both interventions reduced the rate of HO-CDI. This is the first report on the impact of hospital ward cleaning with PPED on the reduction of HO-CDI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inappropriate blood collection subjected to blood culture (BC) causes BC contamination and may complicate the diagnose is of infectious diseases. Therefore, we developed a bundle based on the guideline recommendations for appropriate blood collection and examined the effects of bundle introduction. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of BC samples to determine the contamination rates before and after introducing the BC bundle. We also analyzed the correlation between the compliance rate of the bundle and contamination rate, and between each bundle element and contamination. RESULTS After the introduction of the bundle, the contamination rate was significantly reduced from 5.4% ± 0.9% to 1.7± 0.7% (P < .01). The compliance rate of the bundle was significantly associated with a lower contamination rate (P < .01). Multivariable logistic regression showed that collection from superficial veins of the cubital fossa (odds ratio [OR], 0.25; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.13-0.51, P < .01) and disinfection of the skin at the blood collection site with 1% chlorhexidine alcohol swab (OR, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.25-0.68, P < .01) were significantly associated with lower contamination. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the introduction of the BC bundle significantly reduced the contamination rate, and bundle compliance was associated with a lower contamination rate.

Abstract
Objectives Whether incompetent perforator veins (IPVs) require treatment remains controversial. We
retrospectively evaluated the feasibility of IPV excision performed using the stab
avulsion technique without ligation and sutures in patients undergoing endovenous
ablation (EA). Methods This was a single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study. EA was performed
in 1503 consecutive patients, including 33 patients with ulcers, between December 2014
and May 2021. Varicectomy was performed using the stab avulsion technique; IPV cases
were included. Results Stab avulsion was performed at a mean number of 11.4 ± 7.8 sites. No deep vein
thromboses or pulmonary emboli were noted. The incidence of nerve injury was 0.3%. All
33 (100%) patients with ulcers achieved healing by 1 year (median: 55.5 days; range:
13–365 days). Conclusions IPV excision via stab avulsion may be a viable option for treating varicose veins and
ulcers. This technique offers multiple advantages, including simplicity, safety, and
reduced healthcare costs.

Abstract
Diabetic nephropathy, included in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is the primary disease leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or dialysis treatment, accounting for more than 40% of all patients with ESRD or receiving dialysis. Developing new therapeutics to prevent the transition to ESRD or dialysis treatment requires an understanding of the pathophysiology of DKD and an appropriate animal model for drug efficacy studies. In this study, we investigated the pathophysiology of diabetic kidney disease with type 2 diabetes in uninephrectomized db/db mice. In addition, the nephrectomized db/db mice from 10 weeks to 42 weeks were used to assess the efficacy of long-term administration of the angiotensin-II–receptor antagonist losartan. The blood and urinary biochemical parameters and the blood pressure which is a main pharmacological endpoint of the losartan therapy, were periodically measured. And at the end, histopathological analysis was performed. Uninephrectomized db/db mice clearly developed obesity and hyperglycemia from young age. Furthermore, they showed renal pathophysiological changes, such as increased urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) (the peak value 3104±986 in 40-week-old mice), glomerular hypertrophy and increased fibrotic areas in the tubulointerstitial tubules. The blood pressure in the losartan group was significantly low compared to the normotensive Vehicle group. However, as expected, Losartan suppressed the increase in UACR (829±500) indicating the medication was sufficient, but the histopathological abnormalities including tubular interstitial fibrosis did not improve. These results suggest that the uninephrectomized db/db mice are useful as an animal model of the severe DKD indicated by the comparison of the efficacy of losartan in this model with the efficacy of losartan in clinical practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Venous ulcers are often intractable. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the effectiveness of endovenous ablation, compression therapy, moist wound healing, and skin care in the management of venous ulcers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-eight consecutive patients (10 male, 18 female; mean age, 70.1 years) with Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology (CEAP) class C6 venous ulcer underwent endovenous ablation between December 2014 and August 2020. The main treatment strategies were radiofrequency ablation and varicectomy (including stab avulsion of incompetent perforating veins), use of compression therapy until complete healing was achieved, moist wound healing (washing the ulcer site and covering it with dressings twice daily), and skin care, taking into consideration the balance of the microbiome. RESULTS Active venous leg ulcers (CEAP class C6) were diagnosed in 36 patients at the first visit. In 7 of these patients, compression therapy and use of strategies to promote moist wound healing resulted in ulcer healing by the day of the planned surgery. One patient was unable to quit smoking and, therefore, could not undergo surgery. After excluding these 8 patients, the authors analyzed the data from 28 patients who underwent endovenous ablation. The mean surgical time was 38.9 minutes, and the mean number of stab avulsion incision sites was 9.7. All ulcers healed within a median of 55.5 days (range, 13-365 days). Ulcer healing was achieved by 1 year in all 28 patients (100%). No ulceration recurred as of the final follow-up (median, 24.5 months [range, 3-66 months]). CONCLUSIONS Endovenous ablation, adequate varicectomy (stab avulsion [maximum number of sites in 1 patient, 43]), compression therapy, moist wound healing, and skin care are effective in treating and preventing recurrence of venous ulcers.

Abstract
PURPOSE Rapid decision-making is essential in precision medicine for initiating molecular targeted therapy for cancer patients. This study aimed to extract pathomorphological features that enable the accurate prediction of genetic abnormalities in cancer from hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) images using deep learning (DL). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A total of 1,657 images (one representative image per patient) of thin formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections from either primary or metastatic tumors with next-generation sequencing (NGS)-confirmed genetic abnormalities-including BRAFV600E and KRAS mutations, and microsatellite instability high (MSI-H)-that are directly relevant to therapeutic strategies for advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) were obtained from the nationwide SCRUM-Japan GI-SCREEN project. The images were divided into three groups of 986, 248, and 423 images to create one training and two validation cohorts, respectively. Pathomorphological feature-prediction DL models were first developed based on pathomorphological features. Subsequently, gene-prediction DL models were constructed for all possible combinations of pathomorphological features that enabled the predicting of gene abnormalities based on images filtered by the combination of pathomorphological feature-prediction models. RESULTS High accuracies were achieved, with areas under the curve (AUCs) > 0.90 and 0.80 for 12 and 27, respectively, of 33 analyzed pathomorphological features, with high AUCs being yielded for both BRAFV600E (0.851 and 0.859) and MSI-H (0.923 and 0.862). CONCLUSIONS These findings show that novel next-generation pathology methods can predict genetic abnormalities without the need for standard-of-care gene tests and this novel next-generation pathology method can be applied for CRC treatment planning in the near future.

Abstract
The Hayabusa2 spacecraft investigated the C-type (carbonaceous) asteroid (162173) Ryugu. The mission performed two landing operations to collect samples of surface and subsurface material, the latter exposed by an artificial impact. We present images of the second touchdown site, finding that ejecta from the impact crater was present at the sample location. Surface pebbles at both landing sites show morphological variations ranging from rugged to smooth, similar to Ryugu's boulders, and shapes from quasi-spherical to flattened. The samples were returned to Earth on 6 December 2020. We describe the morphology of >5 grams of returned pebbles and sand. Their diverse color, shape, and structure are consistent with the observed materials of Ryugu; we conclude that they are a representative sample of the asteroid.

Abstract
In semiconductor device history, a trend is observed where narrowing and increasing the number of material layers improve device functionality, with diodes, transistors, thyristors, and superlattices following this trend. While superlattices promise unique functionality, they are not widely adopted due to a technology barrier, requiring advanced fabrication, such as molecular beam epitaxy and lattice-matched materials. Here, a method to design quantum devices using amorphous materials and physical vapor deposition is presented. It is shown that the multiplication gain M depends on the number of layers of the superlattice, N, as M = kN, with k as a factor indicating the efficiency of multiplication. This M is, however, a trade-off with transit time, which also depends on N. To demonstrate, photodetector devices are fabricated on Si, with the superlattice of Se and As2Se3, and characterized using current-voltage (I-V) and current-time (I-T) measurements. For superlattices with the total layer thicknesses of 200 nm and 2 μm, the results show that k200nm = 0.916 and k2μm = 0.384, respectively. The results confirm that the multiplication factor is related to the number of superlattice layers, showing the effectiveness of the design approach.

Abstract
Pregabalin is a first-line treatment option for neuropathic pain. Recently, some cases of pregabalin-induced hypoglycemia have been reported, which can complicate the treatment of neuropathic pain and worsen patient outcomes. Therefore, a better understanding of the clinical condition of patients with pregabalin-induced hypoglycemia is desirable. In this study, we evaluated the risk of hypoglycemia in patients administered pregabalin, using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report database. All patients on pregabalin not taking any antidiabetic agents were screened from April 2004 to July 2020, and data on adverse events related to hypoglycemia, sex, age, weight, and the presence of chronic kidney disease were collected. Gabapentin and duloxetine, which are usually indicated for neuropathic pain, were used for comparison. Among 242,275 patients, 4,287 were administered pregabalin, which included 37 patients who reported hypoglycemic incidents. Disproportionality of hypoglycemia was observed in patients administered pregabalin (reporting odds ratio, 2.25; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.16-3.13; P < 0.01), whereas this was not the case in patients taking gabapentin and duloxetine. Multivariate logistic regression showed that hypoglycemia in patients on pregabalin was associated with age ≥ 70 years (odds ratio, 2.76; 95% CI, 1.29-5.91; P < 0.01) and weight < 40 kg (odds ratio, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.32-6.71; P < 0.01). These findings suggest that pregabalin may be associated with a higher risk of hypoglycemia, especially in elderly individuals with low body weight. Healthcare providers may need to be aware of pregabalin-induced hypoglycemia in patients with these risk factors during therapy. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine whether disease severity varied according to whether coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients had multiple or single cardiovascular diseases and risk factors (CVDRFs).Methods and Results:COVID-19 patients with single (n=281) or multiple (n=412) CVDRFs were included retrospectively. Multivariable logistic regression showed no significant difference in the risk of in-hospital death between groups, but patients with multiple CVDRFs had a significantly higher risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (odds ratio: 1.75, 95% confidence interval: 1.09-2.81). CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 patients with multiple CVDRFs have a higher risk of complications than those with a single CDVRF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Concomitant presence of pulmonary hypertension in heart failure (HF) is associated with increased adverse events and may be related to interventricular uncoupling and impaired cardiac efficiency. It has recently been shown that an increased mean pulmonary artery pressure to mean systemic arterial pressure ratio (MPS ratio), a marker of interventricular coupling and efficiency, is associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with advanced HF. On the other hand, systemic inflammation plays a critical role in the outcomes of heart failure, and malnutrition is also associated with poor outcome in heart failure patients It has been recently reported that advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI), which is calculated as body mass index × serum albumin / neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), is an independent prognostic marker in several types of cancer. However, there is no information available on the prognostic value of the combination of MPS ratio and ALI in patients with acute decompensated HF (ADHF).
Methods and results
We studied 219 patients admitted for ADHF, who underwent right heart catheterization at the admission and were discharged with survival. During a follow up period of 5.1±4.2 yrs, 57 had cardiovascular death (CVD). MPS ratio was significantly greater (0.401±0.107 vs 0.346±0.105, p=0.0009) and ALI was significantly smaller (34.2±18.7 vs 52.0±27.1, p<0.0001) in patients with than without CVD At multivariate Cox analysis, MPS ratio and ALIwere significantly associated with CVD, independently of eGFR and prior heart failure hospitalization, after the adjustment with left ventricular end-diastolic dimension and serum sodium level. The patients with both greater MPS ratio>0.350 (AUC 0.652 [0.569–0.735]) and smaller ALI <35.767 (AUC 0.714 [0.636–0.792]) had a significantly increased risk of CVD than those with either greater MPS or smaller ALI and none of them (67% vs 22% vs 11%, p<0.0001, respectively).
Conclusion
The combination of MPS ratio and ALI might be useful for stratifying ADHF patients at higher risk for CVD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Clinical heterogeneity exists in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Left ventricular (LV) structure in HFPEF is characterized by normal LV cavity size and LV hypertrophy (LVH). However some of HFPEF patients do not have LV hypertrophy, and these patients may have distinct characteristics,
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to clarify the clinical characteristics and the prognosis for HFPEF patients without LVH.
Methods
We studied 1097 patients, who were hospitalized for acute decompensated heart failure with LVEF ≥50%, and enrolled in the PURSUIT-HFpEF registry. Laboratory testing and echocardiography were examined in the compensated stage (in stable condition after treatment of acute decompensated HF). We divided these patients into 2 groups based on LV mass index (LVMI) in the compensated stage according to the American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging recommendations; patients with LVH (48%) and those without LVH (52%).
Results
Patients without LVH had significantly lower levels of C-reactive protein and N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and higher levels of estimated glomerular filtration rate in the compensated stage than those with it (p<0.05 for all). Cox hazard regression analysis showed that absence of LVH was favorably associated with the primary composite endpoint of all-cause death, HF rehospitalization, and cerebrovascular events (hazard ratio 0.776, 95% confidence interval 0.620-to 0.970, p<0.05).
On the other hand, the frequency of atrial fibrillation (Af) in the decompensated stage was higher in patients without LVH than those with it (52.1% vs 39.3%, p<0.001). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that absence of LVH was independently associated with presence of Af in the decompensated stage (odds ratio=1.520, 95% confidence interval 1.130 to 2.050, P<0.01)
Conclusions
HFPEF patients without LVH have less organ damage and favorable prognosis. Af may play a role in the decompensation of HF in HFPEF patients without LVH.

Abstract
Aims
A significant male predominance has been reported in wild-type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt-CM). In other words, the female ATTRwt-CM may be overlooked and gender differences in ATTRwt-CM remain unclear. This study aims to examine gender differences in clinical characteristics and diagnostic approaches in ATTRwt-CM.
Methods and results
We retrospectively evaluated 171 consecutive ATTRwt-CM patients diagnosed at our university hospital between December 2002 and December 2020. Twenty-two patients (12%) were women. Women were significantly older at diagnosis (77.3 years vs. 83.3 years; P<0.001) and had a higher advanced New York Health Association functional class (2.23±0.70 vs. 2.57±0.81; P=0.04) than men. In echocardiography, mean interventricular septum diameter was less thick (15.8 mm vs. 14.5 mm; P=0.03) and ejection fraction was preserved (51.7% vs. 57.7%; P=0.08) in women. The mean heart-to-contralateral ratio obtained using 99mTc-labeled pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) was significantly lower in women than in men (1.89 vs. 1.64; P=0.001). There was no significant gender difference in high-sensitivity median cardiac troponin T levels at diagnosis (0.055 ng/mL vs. 0.069 ng/mL; P=0.30) or history of carpal tunnel syndrome (57% vs. 55%; P=0.93) and electrocardiograms findings. However, the median B-type natriuretic peptide level was significantly higher (254 pg/mL vs. 434 pg/mL; P=0.02) in women. Moderate to severe aortic stenosis was more frequently observed in women (5% vs. 50%; P<0.001). Histological (78% vs. 59%; P=0.07) and genetic confirmation (78% vs. 59%; P=0.003) of ATTRwt-CM were not performed in women.
Conclusion
Women with ATTRwt-CM were predominantly octogenarians, less hypertrophic, and had weaker cardiac uptake of the 99mTc-PYP tracer than men with ATTRwt-CM. These characteristics contribute to the underdiagnosis of ATTRwt-CM in women. The diagnosis of ATTRwt-CM in women is challenging. Therefore, we must be familiar with the clinical characteristics of women with ATTRwt-CM.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Sarcopenia and malnutrition are associated with poor clinical outcome in patients with chronic heart failure. However, there is little information available on the prognostic significance of the combination of sarcopenia and malnutrition in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), relating to reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF or HFpEF).
Methods
We prospectively studied 543 consecutive ADHF patients who survived to discharge (HFrEF [LVEF <45%] n=245 and HFpEF [LVEF≥45%] n=298). At the discharge, sarcopenia and malnutrition was evaluated by free-fat mass index (FFMI) and geriatric nutrition risk index (GNRI), respectively. FFMI was calculated as follows: FFMI = (7.38 + 0.02908 × urinary creatinine [mg/day])/ (height in meter)2. Sarcopenia was defined as FFMI <17 kg/m2 in men and <15 kg/m2 in women. GNRI was calculated as follows: 14.89 × serum albumin (g/dl) + 41.7 × BMI/22, and malnutrition was defined as GNRI<92. The endpoint was all-cause death.
Results
During a follow-up period of 2.8±1.4 years, 161 patients had all-cause death. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that both FFMI and GNRI were independently associated with all-cause death in both HFrEF (p=0.0064 and p<0.0001, respectively) and HFpEF patients (p=0.0140 and p=0.0007, respectively) after adjustment for relevant baseline clinical and study characteristics. In HFrEF, patients with both sarcopenia and malnutrition had a significantly higher risk of the total mortality than those with either or none of them. On the other hand, in HFpEF, patients with both and either sarcopenia or malnutrition had a significantly higher risk of the total mortality than those with none of them, while there was no significant difference in the risk between both and either sarcopenia or malnutrition.
Conclusions
Sarcopenia or malnutrition at discharge was associated with all-cause death even in ADHF patients, irrespective of reduced or preserved LVEF. The combination of sarcopenia and malnutrition could provide prognostic information in ADHF patients with reduced LVEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Diagnosing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is still challenging, and the H2FPEF- and the HFA-PEFF score were proposed as simple and reliable diagnostic tools. We recently reported that the HFA-PEFF score was significantly associated with the composite endpoint of all-cause death and heart failure readmission in patients with acute decompensated HFpEF (Sotomi. Eur J Heart Fail, in press).
Purpose
To investigate the relation whether the HFA-PEFF or H2FPEF score can evaluate functional capacity in patients with HFpEF
Methods
We calculated H2FPEF score and the second step of HFA-PEFF score among the registered patients in the PURSUIT-HFpEF (Prospective, Multicenter, Observational Study of Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction) study, which is a multicenter registration of patients hospitalized for acute decompensated HFpEF. We performed 6 minute walk (6MW) test and measured NT-proBNP before discharge. We followed the study patients for median of 360 days (IQR 237–630 days) to observe the major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; composite of death, heart failure hospitalization and stroke).
Results
We enrolled 757 patients (age 81±9 years, male gender 45%) hospitalized for acute decompensated HFpEF for the present study. The H2FPEF score was obtained in 588 (77.7%) patients and all patients had ≥2 points. The HFA-PEFF score was obtained in 615 (81.2%) patients, though global longitudinal strain was not available. We divided these patients into 3 groups based on the HFA-PEFF score (score 2 to 4, 5, and 6) or on the H2FPEF score (score 0 to 3, 4 to 5 and 6 to 8). There were a significant difference in NT-pro BNP between 3 groups based on HFA-PEFF score (p=0.01, Table 1), and patients with score 6 had significantly higher NT-proBNP than those with score 2 to 4 (p=0.02). A significant difference was observed in 6MW distance among these groups (p=0.04, Table), and those with score 6 had significantly shorter distance than those with score 2 to 4 (p=0.04). Cox proportional hazard model selected HFA-PEFF score as a significant predictor for MACE, and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis demonstrated that classification of HFA-PEFF score significantly stratified the patients' risk for MACE. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in 6MW distance among 3 groups based on H2FPEF score (p=0.53), and H2FPEF score was not an independent predictor for MCE by the Cox model analysis. Moreover, the lowest H2PEF score group had higher NT-proBNP than other 2 groups (p=0.02)
Conclusions
The HFA-PEFF score predicted functional capacity as well as prognosis in patients hospitalized for HFpEF, while the H2PEF score did not.

Abstract
Background
Increased heart rate (HR) and low systolic blood pressure (SBP) are associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients admitted for acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), and simple risk index (SRI) based on easily assessed clinical characteristics (age, HR, and SBP) provides prognostic information. On the other hand, plasma volume (PV) expansion plays an essential role in heart failure, and PV status is has been reported to be associated with adverse outcomes in ADHF patients. However, there is no information available on the value of the combination of SRI and PV status in patients admitted for ADHF.
Methods and results
We studied 301 patients admitted for ADHF. At the admission, SRI was calculated as (HR x [age/10]2)/SBP. PV status was calculated as the following: Actual PV = (1 − hematocrit) x [a + (b x body weight)] (a=1530 in males and a=864 in females, b=41 in males and b=47.9 in females), Ideal PV = c x body weight (c=39 in males and c=40 in females), and PV status = [(actual PV − ideal PV)/ideal PV] x 100(%). During a follow-up period of 4.3±3.2 yrs, 95 patients had all-cause death (ACD) and 68 patients had cardiovascular death (CVD). At multivariate Cox analysis, SRI and PV status were significantly associated with ACD and CVD, independently of the prior history of heart failure hospitalization and serum creatinine and sodium levels, after the adjustment with serum albumin level and anemia. Patients with both greater SRI (≥35.1 by ROC analysis; AUC 0.599 [0.524–0.674]) and greater PV status (≥8.1% by ROC analysis; AUC 0.625 [0.550–0.700]) had a significantly higher risk of ACD and CVD than those with either or none of them (ACD: 49% vs 27% vs 24%, p<0.0001, CVD: 39% vs 18% vs 15%, p<0.0001,respectively).
Conclusion
The combination of SRI and PV status might be useful for stratifying patients at risk for the total mortality and cardiovascular death in patients with ADHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have worse outcomes than those who do not, and patients with AMI with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) also have worse outcomes than those without OHCA. However, there have been still unclear points regarding the prognostic factors of AMI patients who underwent ECMO with or without OHCA. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic factors of AMI patients who underwent ECMO with and without OHCA, respectively.
Methods/Results
Ninety-eight consecutive patients (age:67±11 years, male:83.7%) who underwent ECMO for AMI were enrolled from November 2008 to December 2020. The primary endpoint was in-hospital mortality within 30-day, and we investigated the risk factors associated with 30-day mortality in AMI patients underwent ECMO with or without OHCA, respectively. In the group with OHCA (n=47), 30-day death occurred in 22 patients (47%). BMI, lactate and serum creatinine levels after the introduction of ECMO were significantly greater in patients with than without 30-day death (27.0±5.2 vs 21.0±2.9 kg/m2, p<0.001, 12.1±4.3 vs 7.5±3.6 mmol/L, p<0.001, 1.68±1.24 vs 1.41±1.07 mg/dL, p=0.039, respectively). The multivariate regression analysis showed that lactate level was independently associated with the poor outcome (Odds ratio: 1.32, 95% CI: 1.11–1.57, p<0.001). ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off values: 7.8mmol/L of lactate had moderate accuracy to predict 30-day mortality (sensitivity:76%, specificity:86%, AUC:0.81). In the group without OHCA (n=51), 30-day death occurred in 20 patients (39%). The frequency of ventricular tachycardia / fibrillation (VT/VF) at initiation of ECMO was significantly higher (61.3% vs 25.0%, p=0.021), the frequency of mechanical complication was significantly lower (6.5% vs 30.0%, p=0.045) in patients without 30-day death than with 30-day death. The multivariate regression analysis showed that VT/VF at initiation of ECMO was independently associated with good outcome (Odds ratio: 0.21, 95% CI: 0.06–0.73, p=0.01).
Conclusions
With OHCA, increased lactate was the risk factor that was significantly associated with poor outcome in AMI patients underwent ECMO. Without OHCA, AMI patients who underwent ECMO due to rhythm trouble such as VT/VF had a good outcome. ECMO patients with AMI may have different prognostic factors with or without OHCA.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is not uncommon in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Left atrial (LA) substrate remodeling and corresponding mitral valve annulus dilation has been reported as the most possible cause of FMR. Percutaneous catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for AF. Although significant FMR could be improved by sinus restoration, patients with mitral regurgitation were more likely to experience recurrent AF post ablation, especially those with significant mitral regurgitation. There is no information available on the efficacy of CA for persistent AF in patients with FMR.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictors of FMR improvement by CA and to determine the efficacy of substrate and trigger CA for persistent AF in patients with FMR.
Methods
We prospectively studied 512 consecutive patients admitted for persistent AF ablation from the EARNEST-PVI (Prospective Multicenter Randomized Study of Effect of Extensive Ablation on Recurrence in Patients with Persistent Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Pulmonary Vein Isolation) trial.
On admission, enrolled patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) or PVI-plus additional ablation (linear ablation or/and CFAE ablation). Of the 512 patients, we studied 94 patients with preoperative echocardiography showing moderate or greater baseline FMR. FMR grades were classified into 5 grades (0/1/2/3/4). The FMR improvement group (FMRI(+)) was defined as a case in which the FMR was improved by two or more grades compared the preoperative echocardiography and the one year follow-up examination.
Results
Of the 94 patients, 42 were in the PVI group and 52 were in the PVI-plus additional ablation group. There were 30 cases in the FMRI(+) group and 64 cases in the FMRI(−) group. There were no significant baseline differences in age, sinus rhythm maintenance, plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level, left ventricular diastolic dimension, or left atrium dimension between the FMRI(+) and FMRI(−) groups. AF duration was significantly shorter in the FMRI(+) group than FMRI(−) groups (5.8±9.4 months vs 12.4±15.4 months, p<0.0001). In addition, significantly more additional ablation cases were observed in the FMRI(+) group than in the FMRI(−) group (73.3% vs 46.8%, p=0.016). In multivariate analyses, only additional ablation was an independent predictor of FMRI (odds ratio 0.226 95% CI 0.081–0.626; p=0.004).
Conclusions
Catheter ablation is a valid option for the treatment of AF in patients with functional MR and additional substrate and trigger ablation were the only independent predictor of FMR improvement.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Systemic inflammation plays a critical role in the outcomes of heart failure. Malnutrition is also associated with poor outcome in heart failure patients. It has been recently reported that advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI), which is calculated as body mass index × serum albumin / neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), is an independent prognostic marker in several types of cancer. However, there is no information available on the prognostic impact of ALI in patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF), especially in comparison with malnutrition.
Methods and results
We studied 263 ADHF patients discharged with survival. At the discharge, we measured ALI. Malnutrition was assessed by prognostic nutritional index (PNI) and controlling nutritional status score (CONUT). During a follow up period of 5.1±4.3 yrs, 67 patients had cardiovascular death (CVD). ALI was significantly smaller in patients with than without CVD (32.5±18.2 vs 52.2±30.2, p<0.0001). At multivariate Cox regression analysis, ALI was significantly associated with CVD, independently of prior heart failure hospitalization, systolic blood pressure and eGFR, although PNI and CONUT showed the association with CVD at unvariate analysis. By receiver-operator curve analysis, AUC of ALI was 0.733 (0.664–0.803), which was significantly greater than that of PNI (0.664 [0.590–0.739]) and CONUT (0.591 [0.509–0.672]). Patients with lowest tertile of ALI (<32.0) had a increased risk of mortality than middle tertile (NLR=32.0–53.6; HR 2.06 [1.15–3.71]) and highest tertile (ALI>53.6: HR 5.80 [2.60–12.94]) (48% vs 21% vs 9%, p<0.0001, respectively).
Conclusion
ALI, a systemic inflammation-nutrition index, is more useful prognostic marker than malnutrition in patients admitted with ADHF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Malnutrition is associated with increased mortality risk in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). Cardiohepatic interactions have been a focus of attention among heart failure. It was reported that liver stiffness assessed by non-invasive fibrosis marker such as Fibrosis-4 (FIB4) index provide prognostic information in ADHF patients. However, there is no information available on the long-term prognostic value of the combination of malnutrition and FIB4 index in patients admitted for ADHF.
Methods and results
We studied 294 patients admitted for ADHF, who were discharged with survival. Nutritional status was evaluated by Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) calculated as follows: 14.89 × serum albumin (g/dl) + 41.7 × BMI/22, and malnutrition was defined as GNRI <92. FIB4 index was calculated by the formula: age (yrs) × AST[U/L] / (platelets [103/μL] × (ALT[U/L])1/2), and abnormal FIB4 index was defined as >2.67. During a mean follow-up period of 4.3±3.3 yrs, 94 patients had all-cause death. At multivariate Cox regression analysis, GNRI and FIB4 index were significantly associated with the total mortality, independently of prior heart failure hospitalization, systolic blood pressure, and serum creatinine level. Patients with malnutrition and abnormal FIB4 index had a significantly higher risk of the total mortality than those with either and none of them (49% vs 32% vs 20%, p<0.0001, respectively).
Conclusions
The combination of malnutrition and FIB4 index might be useful for stratifying ADHF patients at higher risk for the total mortality.
