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.

Influence of splenomegaly on aortic and liver parenchymal CT numbers during contrast-enhance CT in patients with cirrhosis. Radiography (Lond) 2024; 30:382-387. [PMID: 38150883 DOI: 10.1016/j.radi.2023.12.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [What about the content of this article?

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To compare CT (computed tomography) values for enhancement of the abdominal aorta and liver parenchyma during dynamic contrast enhancement (CE) CT in cirrhotic patients with and without splenomegaly (SM). METHODS We considered 258 patients (83 males and 46 females for the splenomegaly group, and 83 males and 46 females for the control group) for this retrospective study. We measured CT values in the abdominal aorta and hepatic parenchyma during the hepatic arterial (HAP) and portal venous (PVP) phases. The aortic CE at HAP and the hepatic parenchymal CE at PVP were compared between the two groups. For success rate of scans, we also calculated the optimal CE rates (>280 HU in the abdominal aorta and >50 HU in the hepatic parenchyma) for each group. RESULTS In the SM group, the CE for abdominal aorta was decreased during the aortic phase for a dynamic CE-CT (p < 0.05). When evaluating the success rates, they were found to be 65.1 % and 58.9 % in the SM group and 81.4 % and 72.3 % in the non-SM group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The success rate of scans and CE for the abdominal aorta during the aortic phase exhibited a significant decrease during dynamic CE-CT scans on patients with SM. Patients with SM may have reduced diagnostic ability with typical contrast injection protocols. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE It may be necessary to change the injection rates and contrast medium volume during CE-CT depending on the presence or absence of SM.

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
INTRODUCTION Bacteroides fragilis (B. fragilis) is considered to act in an anti-inflammatory manner on the intestinal tract. On the contrary, enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF), a subtype of B. fragilis, produces an enterotoxin (BFT; B. fragilis toxin), leading to asymptomatic chronic infections and colonic tumor formation. However, the impact of B. fragilis and ETBF on the clinical outcome of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unclear. We aim to assess whether their presence affects the outcome in patients with CRC after curative resection. METHODS We obtained 197 pairs of matched formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from cancerous and adjacent non-cancerous tissues of patients with pathological stage (pstage) II and III CRC after curative resection. The presence of B. fragilis and ETBF were estimated using real-time polymerase chain reaction, and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) of the patients were analyzed. RESULTS 16S rRNA for B. fragilis and bft DNA were detected in 120 (60.9%) and 12 (6.1%) of the 197 patients, respectively. B. fragilis-positive patients had better RFS than B. fragilis-negative patients, although that was not statistically significant. In subgroup analysis, better outcomes on RFS were observed in the presence of B. fragilis in pstage II and left-sided CRC. The association of B. fragilis positivity on OS was accentuated in the depth of T4 subgroup. No significant differences were observed in RFS and OS between ETBF and non-toxigenic B. fragilis. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the presence of B. fragilis is associated with better outcomes in patients with pstage II and III CRC after curative resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the use of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) in pregnant Japanese women and to evaluate their safety in infants. METHODS Data were extracted from the claims database of the Japan Medical Data Center. The prevalence of CNIs was evaluated 180 days before pregnancy onset, during pregnancy, and within180-days post partum. We investigated the characteristics of the infants, including the presence of major malformations and their diagnoses, for 1 year after birth. RESULTS A total of 91,865 pregnancies in 80,049 women were included. Fifty-three women were prescribed CNIs between 180-day before pregnancy onset and 180-day postpartum; 35 of the 53 women were prescribed the drugs during pregnancy, and 10 of their infants were born preterm. Three were diagnosed with major congenital malformations, such as patent ductus arteriosus. Six preterm infants presented with infant respiratory distress syndrome. CONCLUSIONS No congenital anomalies were clearly attributable to the use of CNIs during pregnancy.

Abstract
Objectives Colonoscopy surveillance reduces the incidence of colorectal cancer through the detection and endoscopic removal of adenomas. Current guidelines recommend that patients with Lynch syndrome should have colonoscopy surveillance every 1–2 years starting at the age of 20–25. However, insufficient data are available to evaluate the quality and safety of colonoscopy surveillance for patients with Lynch syndrome nationwide in Japan. Methods Patients with Lynch syndrome (n = 309) from 13 institutions who underwent one or more colonoscopy procedures were enrolled in this retrospective analysis. Colonoscopy completion rate, colonoscopy‐related complication rate, proportion with an adequate colonoscopy interval, and adenoma detection rate were reviewed. Results The colonoscopy completion rate was 98.8% and a history of previous colorectal cancer surgery was significantly associated with a higher completion rate. All complications were associated with endoscopic treatment and the rate of bleeding needing hemostasis and perforation needing surgical repair were both 0.16% after colonoscopy with polypectomy. The adenoma detection rate at the first colonoscopy was 25%. Although there was no difference in the completion and complication rates based on differences in the colonoscopy experience of the endoscopist, the detection rate of adenomas and intramucosal cancers was significantly higher with more experienced endoscopists. The proportion of patients developing cancer was significantly higher with a >24 months than a ≤24 months interval. Conclusion High‐volume experienced endoscopists and appropriate surveillance intervals may minimize the risk of developing colorectal cancers in patients with Lynch syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence suggests that non-viral hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) might benefit less from immunotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from consecutive patients with non-viral advanced HCC, treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, lenvatinib, or sorafenib, in 36 centers in 4 countries (Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, and UK). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib. Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS) with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus lenvatinib, and OS and PFS with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib. For the primary and secondary endpoints, we carried out the analysis on the whole population first, and then we divided the cohort into two groups: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)/non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) population and non-NAFLD/NASH population. RESULTS One hundred and ninety patients received atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, 569 patients received lenvatinib, and 210 patients received sorafenib. In the whole population, multivariate analysis showed that treatment with lenvatinib was associated with a longer OS [hazard ratio (HR) 0.65; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.44-0.95; P = 0.0268] and PFS (HR 0.67; 95% CI 0.51-0.86; P = 0.002) compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. In the NAFLD/NASH population, multivariate analysis confirmed that lenvatinib treatment was associated with a longer OS (HR 0.46; 95% CI 0.26-0.84; P = 0.0110) and PFS (HR 0.55; 95% CI 0.38-0.82; P = 0.031) compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. In the subgroup of non-NAFLD/NASH patients, no difference in OS or PFS was observed between patients treated with lenvatinib and those treated with atezolizumab plus bevacizumab. All these results were confirmed following propensity score matching analysis. By comparing patients receiving atezolizumab plus bevacizumab versus sorafenib, no statistically significant difference in survival was observed. CONCLUSIONS The present analysis conducted on a large number of advanced non-viral HCC patients showed for the first time that treatment with lenvatinib is associated with a significant survival benefit compared to atezolizumab plus bevacizumab, in particular in patients with NAFLD/NASH-related HCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With sentinel node metastasis in breast cancer (BC) patients, axillary lymph node (ALN) dissection is often omitted from cases with breast-conserving surgery. Omission of lymph node dissection reduces the invasiveness of surgery to the patient, but it also obscures the number of metastases to non-sentinel nodes. The possibility of finding ≥ 4 lymph nodes (pN2a/pN3a) preoperatively is important given the ramifications for postoperative treatment.
AIM To search for clinicopathological factors that predicts upstaging from N0 to pN2a/pN3a.
METHODS Patients who were sentinel lymph node (SLN)-positive and underwent ALN dissection between September 2007 and August 2018 were selected by retrospective chart review. All patients had BC diagnosed preoperatively as N0 with axillary evaluation by fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography and ultrasound (US) examination. When suspicious FDG accumulation was found in ALN, the presence of metastasis was reevaluated by second US. We examined predictors of upstaging from N0 to pN2a/pN3a.
RESULTS Among 135 patients, we identified 1-3 ALNs (pN1) in 113 patients and ³4 ALNs (pN2a/pN3a) in 22 patients. Multivariate analysis identified the total number of SLN metastasis, the maximal diameter of metastasis in the SLN (SLNDmax), and FDG accumulation of ALN as predictors of upstaging to pN2a/pN3a.
CONCLUSION We identified factors involved in upstaging from N0 to pN2a/pN3a. The SLNDmax and number of SLN metastasis are predictors of ≥ 4 ALNs (pN2a/pN3a) and predictors of metastasis to non-sentinel nodes, which have been reported in the past. Attention should be given to axillary accumulations of FDG, even when faint.

Abstract
The motility of cilia and flagella plays important physiological roles, and there has been a great deal of research on the mechanisms underlying the motility of molecular motors. Although recent molecular structural analyses have revealed the components of the ciliary axoneme, the mechanisms involved in the regulation of dynein activity are still unknown, and how multiple dyneins coordinate their movements remains unclear. In particular, the mode of binding for axonemal dynein has not been elucidated. In this study, we constructed a thermodynamic stochastic model of microtubule-dynein coupling and reproduced the experiments of Aoyama and Kamiya on the minimal component of axonemal microtubule-dynein. We then identified the binding mode of axonemal dynein and clarified the relationship between dynein activity distribution and axonemal movement. Based on our numerical results, the slip-bond mechanism agrees quantitatively with the experimental results in terms of amplitude, frequency, and propagation velocity, implying that axial microtubule-dynein coupling may follow a slip-bond mechanism. Moreover, the frequency and propagation velocity decayed in proportion to the fourth power of microtubule length, and the critical load of the trigger for the oscillation agreed well with Euler's critical load.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
This study was to investigate effect of SERa on the fertilization rate, embryonic development after ICSI, and clinical and perinatal outcomes after single blastocyst transfer.
Summary answer
SERa (+) derived embryo can be selected as embryos for transfer when no available SERa (-) derived embryos.
What is known already
Based on findings that the risk of congenital abnormalities in the newborn is higher in ovum with SERa in the cytoplasm, the Istanbul consensus workshop at the 2011 meeting of the ESHRE recommended against fertilizing ovum with SERa due to these risks. However, there have been several reports of healthy infants born from embryos derived from SERa, suggesting that, while more long-term follow-up is necessary, healthy births are possible from such embryos. In 2017, the 2011 recommendations were reviewed in the Alpha/ESHRE consensus (Vienna), which said the approach should be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Study design, size, duration
We retrospectively investigated 23,007 oocytes which was retrieved between January 2016 and March 2020. Of these, 1,038 oocytes (4.5%) with visible SERa comprised SERa (+), while 21,969 oocytes (95.5%) without SERa comprised SERa (-).
Participants/materials, setting, methods
SERa were observed under the microscopy after denudation. The rate of fertilization, good-quality day-3 embryos, good-quality day-5 blastocysts, and day-5, 6 or 7 blastocysts were evaluated for both groups. We also compared the rate of clinical pregnancy, live birth, miscarriage, and birth defects in single blastocyst transfer between SERa (+) derived 114 blastocysts and SERa (-) derived 6,290 blastocysts from January 2016 and December 2018.
Main results and the role of chance
The results are shown. 2PN fertilization rate outcomes after ICSI (SERa(-) eggs vs. SERa(+)eggs),81.4%(17,873/21,969) vs.79.4% (823/1,038),and good-quality day3 rate was 61.1%(10,927/17,873)vs.60.9% (501/823) which was not significantly different. Good-quality day5 blastocyst rate was 46.5% (7,876/16,955) vs. 39.8%(304/763), and day 5 blastocyst success rate was 60.8% (10,317/16,955) vs.54.3% (414/763), which were both significantly lower with SERa(+). (P < 0.001) The day 6 blastocyst success rate was 69.9% (11,849/16,955) vs. 65.5% (500/763) (P = 0.01), and the day 7 blastocyst success rate was 70.9% (12,024/16,955) vs. 67.5% (515/763) (P = 0.04), which were all significantly lower with SERa(+).The clinical pregnancy rate was 39.4% (2,481/6,290) vs. 35.1% (40/114), the live birth rate was 27.7% (1,745/6,290) vs. 26.3% (30/114), and the miscarriage rate was 27.5% (683/2,481) vs. 20.0% (8/40) and the congenital abnormality rate was 1.6% (29/1,757) vs. 0% (0/30) for SERa(-) embryos and SERa(+) embryos, respectively, which were not significantly different. Blastocyst derived from oocytes with SERa has similar clinical and perinatal outcomes with those of oocytes without SERa. Significant differences were examined using the chi-squared test, with p < 0.05, indicating a significant difference.
Limitations, reasons for caution
Embryos derived SERa (+) were transferred when the patient did not want any more oocytes retrievals, no embryos derived SERa (-) were available, and only if the couple desired embryo transfer after the problems associated with SERa (+) embryos were fully explained.
Wider implications of the findings
To the best of our knowledge, this study is the largest number of live births investigating the outcome of SERa (+) derived embryos. SERa (+) derived embryo can be selected as embryos for transfer when no available SERa (-) derived embryos.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Is it possible to identify the optimal puncture position by image analysis where oocyte degeneration is reduced in ICSI procedure?
Summary answer
Visualizing the likelihood of unintentional membrane rupture (UMR) using image analysis can reduce oocyte degeneration and thereby generate more embryos available for treatment.
What is known already
It is known that the oocyte degeneration after both conventional-ICSI and Piezo-ICSI are often observed when UMR occurs during the puncturing process and the likelihood of UMR may depends on the location of the puncture site on the oolemma. Identifying the appropriate puncturing position may decrease the likelihood of membrane rupture and thus degeneration, however, there are no studies identifying the optimal puncture position during ICSI.
Study design, size, duration
We have developed the ICSI Position Detector (IPD), which can identify an area where rupture is likely to occur and visualize it on a video monitor. This study included 1,110 mature oocytes retrieved from 190 consenting patients. Matured oocytes were inseminated either by Conventional-ICSI (n = 437, average maternal age: 39.1±4.6 y.o.) or Piezo-ICSI (n = 673, average maternal age: 38.6±4.5 y.o.). ICSI was performed blindly, moving images were recorded and analyzed retrospectively during ICSI using IPD.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Inseminated oocytes were subsequently divided into two groups according to IPD results, oocytes on which ICSI was performed at the position with a low chance of UMR (appropriate group), and with a high chance of UMR (non-appropriate group) by IPD. The rates of UMR, degeneration, fertilization (2PN), blastocyst formation, and good-quality blastocyst (Grade 3BB and above on day 5 by the Gardner scoring) were compared between the two groups of both conventional-ICSI and Piezo-ICSI.
Main results and the role of chance
The areas in which UMR is less likely to occur and more likely to occur are heterogeneously distributed. When ICSI was performed blindly, about half was from the non-appropriate position. In appropriate group of Piezo-ICSI, rates of UMR (4.3% vs. 17.4%, P < 0.001) and degeneration (1.0% vs. 5.7%, P < 0.001) were significantly lower than those of non-appropriate group, whereas rates of fertilization (88.0% vs. 78.4%, P < 0.01) and blastocyst formation (57.8% vs. 45.9%, P < 0.01) were significantly higher than those of non-appropriate group, respectively. The rate of good-quality blastocyst (28.8% vs. 24.9%) was in favor of appropriate group, but not significantly different. In appropriate group of Conventional-ICSI, rates of UMR (6.7% vs. 20.6%, P < 0.001) and degeneration (1.5% vs. 6.6%, P < 0.01) were significantly lower than those of non-appropriate group, whereas rate of fertilization (88.7% vs. 69.5, P < 0.001) was significantly higher than those of non-appropriate group, respectively. The rates of blastocyst formation (37.5% vs. 35.3%), good-quality blastocyst (21.3% vs. 18.7%) were all in favor of appropriate group, but not significantly different.
Limitations, reasons for caution
This is a single private fertility clinic study. Its reproducibility should be assessed in different laboratory conditions and the hands of different operators. Moreover, specific studies should be addressed on the effect of the other putative confounders under investigation (e.g. kind of ovulation trigger, patient demographics, culture environment, etc.).
Wider implications of the findings
This study demonstrated that the IPD is useful to identify the optimal puncture location site to prevent UMR on ICSI procedure, resulting in reducing UMR and degeneration of the oocytes and increasing culture results, thereby, generating more embryos available for transfer or cryopreservation.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
What is the frequency of azoospermia factor (AZF) microdeletions and sperm retrieval rate (SRR) by micro TESE in patients with these deletions?
Summary answer
AZFc is most frequent of Y chromosome microdeletions and a predictor of micro TESE outcome in Japanese azoospermic men.
What is known already
After Klinefelter syndrome, Y chromosome microdeletions are the second most frequent genetic cause of male infertility, with a prevalence of 2%-10% in non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and three spermatogenesis loci in the Y chromosome long arm (Yq11) have been classified as AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc. The classical correlation of histopathology phenotypes with these three microdeletions comprises of complete absence of germ cells (Sertoli cell-only syndrome) in patients with AZFa microdeletions, maturation arrest of meiosis in patients with AZFb microdeletions, and hypospermatogenesis in patients with AZFc microdeletions, however, individual variation in the extent of deletions has led to various spermatogenic phenotypes.
Study design, size, duration
We performed a retrospective study based on two reproduction centers in Japan and evaluated 1373 azoospermic patients in our clinics between September 2013 and December 2021. We investigated the frequency of AZF microdeletions and SRR by micro TESE in patients with these microdeletions and therefore aimed to evaluate the correlation between AZF microdeletions and micro TESE results.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
A total of 1373 azoospermic were enrolled. After the diagnosis of azoospermia, karyotype analysis and detection of Y chromosome microdeletions were performed on peripheral blood lymphocytes of these patients. Y chromosome microdeletions in AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc regions were detected using Promega Y Chromosome AZF Analysis System version 2.0 (Promega Co.). Twenty sequence-tagged sites within the AZF region of Yq11 and the sex-determining region Y gene were targeted for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification.
Main results and the role of chance
One hundred and fifty-two AZF microdeletions (11.1%) were detected in the azoospermic patients. The most common deleted region was AZFc (60 cases, 4.4%). Among the patients, 17 (1.2%), 1 (0.1%), 42 (3.1%), 13 (1.0%), and 6 (0.5%) had AZFa, AZFa+b, AZFb+c, AZFb, and AZFa+b+c microdeletions, respectively. When the cases were grouped according to causes of infertility that could be detected, no Y chromosome microdeletions were detected in some groups (cases with Klinefelter Syndrome, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, congenital absence of vas deferens, and 47, XYY karyotype). Fifty-three azoospermic men with AZFc microdeletions underwent micro TESE, and spermatozoa were detected in 88.7% (47/53) of these men. In contrast, we detected spermatozoa in only 20.4% (109/534) of the azoospermic men without AZF microdeletions. The SRR was much higher in patients with AZFc microdeletions than that of patients without AZF deletions. Although three azoospermic men with AZFb+c microdeletions had also undergone micro TESE following patient request, we did not retrieve spermatozoa.
Limitations, reasons for caution
We excluded post chemotherapy NOA showing 46, XX and AZFa+b+c deletions post bone marrow transplantation from female donor. Additionally, we did not detect AZFc partial deletion including gr/gr deletion. The cohort size of this study is not small, however, our screened population of infertile men may be biased.
Wider implications of the findings
NOA patients with AZFc microdeletions had a high percentage of successful sperm retrieval by micro TESE. Our study emphasizes that diagnosis of Y chromosome microdeletions is critical for preconception genetic counseling and provides clinically valuable prognostic information to couples considering surgical sperm retrieval.

Abstract
Study question
Does the area of oocyte perivitelline space have an effect on fertilization and embryo development following intracytoplasmic sperm injection?
Summary answer
The area of oocyte perivitelline space has not an effect on the fertilization but the embryo development following intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
What is known already
Oocyte perivitelline space has a lot of variation at intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Some researchers reported that the characteristics of perivitelline space (large or small) affect embryo development, pregnancy, and implantation. However, these studies did not accurately calculate the area of perivitelline space. Therefore, little information is available on the effect of the area of oocyte perivitelline space on fertilization and embryo development following ICSI. The purpose of this study was to calculate and classify the area of oocyte perivitelline space and investigate the effect of the area of perivitelline space on fertilization and embryo development following ICSI.
Study design, size, duration
1. We retrospectively investigated 634 mature oocytes that were conducted ICSI between January 2021 and December 2021. The area of each oocyte perivitelline space was defined from between the area of circle calculated from the inner layer of zona pellucida and cytoplasm and divided into 3 groups (-9%, 10-19%, 20%-).
2. We retrospectively calculated the diameter of an inner layer of zona pellucida and cytoplasm and compared it with the 3 groups (-9%, 10-19%, 20%-).
Participants/materials, setting, methods
1. The fertilization, survival, good quality day-3 embryo, blastocyst, good quality blastocyst rates following ICSI were compared with the 3 groups (-9%, 10-19%, 20%-).
2. The average diameter of an inner layer of zona pellucida and cytoplasm of each oocyte for the 3 groups (-9%, 10-19%, 20%-) were compared.
The data were analyzed by Fisher’s exact test, residual analysis, one-way ANOVA test, with Bonferroni correction as appropriate to determine the statistical differences among groups.
Main results and the role of chance
1. The survival rates of perivitelline space -9%, 10-19%, 20%- groups were 100% (109/109), 96% (363/378), 94% (138/147), the fertilization rates were 89% (97/109), 88% (331/378), 86% (127/147), the good quality day-3 embryo rates were 56% (54/97), 70% (232/331), 70% (89/127) respectively. No significant difference was observed between these comparison items. The blastocyst rates of perivitelline space -9%, 10-19%, 20%- groups were 51% (47/92), 69% (222/321), 82% (93/114), the good quality blastocyst rates were 22% (20/92), 40% (129/321), 52% (59/114) respectively. The blastocyst and good quality blastocyst rates of perivitelline space -9% group showed significantly lower results. On the other hand, the blastocyst and good quality blastocyst rates of perivitelline space 20%- group showed significantly higher results.
2. The average diameter of an inner layer of zona pellucida of perivitelline space -9%, 10-19%, 20%- groups were 125 ± 4 µm, 129 ± 5 µm, 136 ± 6 µm, the average diameter of the cytoplasm of perivitelline space were 121 ± 4 µm, 119 ± 4 µm, 118 ± 4 µm respectively. Significant differences were observed in all pairs of groups of the average diameter of an inner layer of zona pellucida and cytoplasm.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The area of oocyte perivitelline space was calculated at only one plane.
Wider implications of the findings
Oocytes with narrow perivitelline space might have a wide region of adhesive between the cytoplasm surface and an inner layer of the zona pellucida which resulted in a smaller diameter of the zona pellucida and lower blastocyst rate by forming cytoplasmic fragments (Yumoto K et al. JARG. 2020 ;37(6):1349-1354.).

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
To evaluate the effectiveness of chlormadinone acetate (CMA) for preventing premature LH surge in patients with normal ovarian reserve compared to cetrorelix.
Summary answer
In progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) than GnRH antagonist (GnRH-ant), the incidence of premature LH surge was significantly lower, without significant difference in oocyte maturation rate.
What is known already
The GnRH-ant protocol is one of the conventional protocols which has some disadvantages including increased premature LH surge rate and cancelation rate. In recent years, the PPOS protocol has attracted attention as a new ovarian stimulation using progestin as an alternative to GnRH analog for suppressing a premature LH surge, however its efficacy is still controversial. In addition, many studies have investigated the reproductive outcomes of PPOS using medroxy-progesterone acetate or dydrogesterone; however, there are few reports of CMA, an oral progestin, which is inexpensive and widely used in Japan.
Study design, size, duration
This retrospective cohort study was performed in a reproduction center between March 2018 and October 2020 which included 977 Japanese patients with normal ovarian reserve undergoing PPOS with CMA (n = 299), or GnRH antagonist (GnRH-ant) with cetrorelix (n = 608) in their first IVF cycle at the reproduction center. In subgroup analysis, pregnancy outcomes after frozen embryo transfers (FET) between PPOS (n = 284) and GnRH-ant (n = 579) were also compared.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
The inclusion criteria were patients aged < 40 years and AMH ≧ 1.1 ng/mL, who underwent autologous oocyte retrieval in their first IVF cycle with freeze-all strategy. The primary outcome was the incidence of premature LH surge, the secondary outcomes was oocyte maturation rate. To reduce the impact of treatment bias and potential confounding factors, we conducted logistic regression models with inverse-probability-of-treatment weighting (IPTW).
Main results and the role of chance
After IPTW, baseline clinical data were well-balanced between the two groups, including age, AMH, BMI, the duration, type, and cause of infertility, antral follicle count, the history of recurrent spontaneous abortion, and previous IVF attempts. The premature LH surge rate was significantly lower with PPOS (3.1%) compared to GnRH-ant (20.1%) (odds ratio, 0.21; 95% confidence interval, 0.11–0.36). No significant differences were found in total gonadotropin dose (2400IU for PPOS vs 2400IU for GnRH-ant, p = 0.136), the number of oocyte retrieval (n = 15 vs n = 15, p = 0.484), oocyte maturation rate (78.8% vs 77.8%, p = 0.275), fertilization rate (73.0% vs 72.0%, p = 0.412), viable embryo rate per oocyte retrieval (40% vs 40%, p = 0.890), and good quality blastocyst rate (72.0% vs 69.6%, p = 0.092). However, the good quality day-3 embryo rate was significantly lower with PPOS (37.2% vs 49.1%, p < 0.05). There were no differences in the incidence of moderate-to-severe OHSS (0.3% vs 0.7%, p = 0.481). In FET cycles, the pregnancy outcomes, such as implantation rate (43.1 % vs 51.9 %, p = 0.013) and clinical pregnancy rate (46.5% vs 54.7%, p = 0.027) were significantly lower with PPOS, however, no significant differences were found in ongoing pregnancy rate (75.6% vs 80.5%, p = 0.325), and live birth rate (72.4% vs 79.5 %, p = 0.142).
Limitations, reasons for caution
This was a retrospective cohort study conducted in a single center. The participants in this study were limited to Japanese ethnicity. The results need to be validated across different centers and other ethnicities.
Wider implications of the findings
This is the first report assessing the reproductive outcomes on PPOS using CMA, widely used in Japan. The PPOS with CMA significantly suppressed the premature LH surge rate compared to GnRH-ant protocol, without decrease in oocyte maturation rate.

Abstract
Bone marrow carcinomatosis (BMC) associated with breast cancer is a rare but often difficult-to-treat condition; we report a case of a female stage IV breast cancer patient in her seventies with BMC that improved with endocrine monotherapy. The patient had hemoglobinopenia and thrombocytopenia at the time of diagnosis. The diagnosis of BMC due to estrogen receptor-positive invasive lobular carcinoma was confirmed. After transfusion of 4 units of concentrated red blood cells, endocrine treatment with letrozole improved the hematopenia. Ten months after the treatment started, bone metastases worsened, so the patient was changed to combination therapy with palbociclib and fulvestrant, after which there was no worsening of the disease.

Abstract
Routine CT examinations are crucial in colorectal cancer patients (CCPs); however, the high frequency of radiation exposure is a significant concern. This study investigated the radiation dose, image quality, and diagnostic performance of tin filter-based spectral shaping chest−abdominal−pelvic (CAP) CT for CCPs. We reviewed 44 CCPs who underwent single-phase enhanced tin-filtered 100 kV (TF100kV) and standard 120 kV (ST120kV) CAP CT on separate days. Radiation metrics including the volume CT dose index (CTDIvol), dose-length product (DLP), and effective dose (ED) were calculated for both protocols. Two radiologists assessed the presence of the following lesions: lung metastasis, liver metastasis, lymph node metastasis, peritoneal dissemination, and bone metastasis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was calculated for the diagnostic performance of each protocol. Radiation metrics of the TF100kV protocol were significantly lower than those of the ST120kV protocol (CDTIvol 1.60 ± 0.31 mGy vs. 14.4 ± 2.50, p < 0.0001; DLP 107.1 (95.9−125.5) mGy·cm vs. 996.7 (886.2−1144.3), p < 0.0001; ED 1.93 (1.73−2.26) mSv vs. 17.9 (16.0−20.6), p < 0.0001, respectively). TF100kV protocol achieved comparable diagnostic performance to that of the ST120kV protocol (AUC for lung metastasis: 1.00 vs. 0.94; liver metastasis: 0.88 vs. 0.83, respectively). TF100kV protocol could substantially reduce the radiation dose by 89% compared to that with the ST120kV protocol while maintaining good diagnostic performance in CCPs.

Abstract
Introduction
Clinical sequencing has provided molecular and therapeutic insights into the field of clinical oncology. However, despite its significance, its clinical utility in Japanese patients remains unknown. Here, we examined the clinical utility of tissue-based clinical sequencing with FoundationOne® CDx and FoundationOne® Heme. Between August 2018 and August 2019, 130 Japanese pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors were tested with FoundationOne® CDx or FoundationOne® Heme.
Results
The median age of 130 patients was 60.5 years (range: 3 to 84 years), and among them, 64 were males and 66 were females. Major cancer types were gastrointestinal cancer (23 cases) and hepatic, biliary, and pancreatic cancer (21 cases). A molecular tumor board had been completed on all 130 cases by October 31, 2019. The median number of gene alterations detected by Foundation testing, excluding variants of unknown significance (VUS) was 4 (ranged 0 to 21) per case. Of the 130 cases, one or more alterations were found in 123 cases (94.6%), and in 114 cases (87.7%), actionable alterations with candidates for therapeutic agents were found. In 29 (22.3%) of them, treatment corresponding to the gene alteration was performed. Regarding secondary findings, 13 cases (10%) had an alteration suspected of a hereditary tumor. Of the 13 cases, only one case received a definite diagnosis of hereditary tumor.
Conclusions
Our study showed that clinical sequencing might be useful for detecting gene alterations in various cancer types and exploring treatment options. However, many issues still need to be improved.

Abstract
The activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) has been reported in several types of cancer, where it acts as an oncogene. However, in breast cancer, the clinical role of STAT3 remains unclear. In the present study, the association between phosphorylated-STAT3 (p-STAT3) expression and clinicopathological/biological factors was examined in each subtype. p-STAT3 expression was examined in 135 cases of breast cancer by immunohistochemistry. p-STAT3 expression was not associated with clinicopathological/biological factors and prognosis in a complete cohort of breast cancer cases. However, in patients with estrogen receptor-negative (ER(−)) breast cancer and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), multivariate analysis showed that higher p-STAT3 expression was significantly associated with a short relapse-free survival (p = 0.029, HR 5.37, 95%CI 1.19–24.29). TNBC patients with p-STAT3 overexpression were found to have a poor prognosis (p = 0.029, HR 5.37, 95%CI 1.19–24.29). On the other hand, in ER(+) breast cancer, p-STAT3 overexpression was associated with a favorable prognosis (p = 0.034, HR 9.48, 95%CI 1.18–76.21). The present results suggested that STAT3 expression may play a different role in ER(−) and ER(+) breast cancer. In the future, the pharmacological inhibition of STAT3 expression may serve as an effective therapeutic strategy for ER(−) breast cancer, particularly TNBC.

Abstract
Elimination of cancerous cells by the immune system is an important mechanism of protection from cancer, however, its effectiveness can be reduced owing to development of resistance and evasion. To understand the systemic immune response in advanced untreated primary colorectal cancer, we analyze immune subtypes and immune evasion via neoantigen-related mechanisms. We identify a distinctive cancer subtype characterized by immune evasion and very poor overall survival. This subtype has less clonal highly expressed neoantigens and high chromosomal instability, resulting in adaptive immune resistance mediated by the immune checkpoint molecules and neoantigen presentation disorders. We also observe that neoantigen depletion caused by immunoediting and high clonal neoantigen load are correlated with a good overall survival. Our results indicate that the status of the tumor microenvironment and neoantigen composition are promising new prognostic biomarkers with potential relevance for treatment plan decisions in advanced CRC.

Abstract
Background: Anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) therapy has been identified to prolong the survival of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients without RAS mutations. However, its efficacy is not always consistent for these patients. Genomic profiles of primary tumors and metastases are not always concordant; thus, chemotherapeutic agents can alter the tumor molecular profile. This molecular heterogeneity may explain resistance to anti-EGFR therapy. Liquid biopsy using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a novel, non-invasive diagnostic tool that can accommodate this molecular heterogeneity, providing a comprehensive, real-time view of the molecular landscape. In this study, we evaluated the predictive value of genomic mutations in ctDNA for primary and acquired resistance to anti-EGFR therapy. Methods/Design: This study is a prospective, multicenter, observational study of mCRC patients with wild-type tissue RAS treated with cytotoxic agents and anti-EGFR antibodies as first-line therapy. Genomic mutations, including RAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, and EGFR in ctDNA, are assessed via Droplet Digital PCR before starting chemotherapy and every 3 months thereafter until disease progression. The target sample size is estimated to be 100. The primary endpoint is the response rate in patients without RAS mutation in their blood sample before starting chemotherapy. Discussion: This study will clarify the predictive value of baseline RAS mutation in ctDNA for responses to anti-EGFR therapy; the frequency of emerging RAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, and EGFR mutations in ctDNA; and the association with secondary resistance to anti-EGFR therapy in first-line therapy for wild-type tissue RAS mCRC patients.

Abstract
137 Background: Bacteroides fragilis ( B. fragilis) is an obligate anaerobe and generally acts as anti-inflammatory manner on the intestinal tract. Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis (ETBF), a subtype of B. fragilis, produces Bacteroides fragilis toxin (BFT) leading to either asymptomatic chronic colonic inflammation or colonic tumor formation. However, the impact of B. fragilis and ETBF on colorectal cancer (CRC) prognoses still remains unclear. We tested whether the presence of B. fragilis and ETBF affect clinical outcome in CRC patients who underwent curative surgery. Methods: We obtained 197 pairs of matched FFPE samples from colorectal cancerous and adjusted non-cancerous tissues of patients with stage II and III CRC who underwent curative resection between 2014 and 2016. Quantitative analyses of B. fragilis and ETBF in the colon tissues were performed using quantitative PCR with primers, 16S rRNA for B. fragilis and bft DNA, respectively. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards regression. Results: Among 197 patients, 16S rRNA for B. fragilis DNA and bft DNA were detected in 120 patients (60.9%) and 12 patients (6.1%), respectively. B. fragilis-positive patients had better RFS (5-y RFS rate: 81.4% vs. 73.4%, HR0.59, 95% CI: 0.31-1.12, p =0.10) and OS (5-y OS rate: 88.9% vs 78.3%, HR0.53, 95% CI: 0.26-1.11, p =0.091) compared with B. fragilis-negative patients though statistically not significant. In multivariable analysis for RFS, B. fragilis-positive remained as an independent prognostic factor (HR0.53, 95% CI: 0.28-0.99, p =0.049) along with tumor depth T4 and Stage III, while there was no significance in OS. No significant differences were observed between ETBF and nontoxigenic B. fragilis in patients' characteristics and clinical outcomes. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the presence of B. fragilis may predict outcome especially RFS in patients with curatively resected stage II and III CRC. Further research are warranted to explore whether B. fragilis status could be involved in a novel prediction model for outcome in early-stage CRC and develop probiotics treatments to prevent recurrence.

Abstract
Background and objectives: In the treatment of the special type of breast cancer (STBC), the choice of chemotherapeutic agents is often based on the characteristic features of the histological type. On the other hand, the surgical strategy is usually determined by the tumor size and presence of lymph node metastasis, and the indication for immediate reconstruction is rarely discussed based on the histological type. The prognoses of STBC and invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast (IDC) patients who underwent subcutaneous mastectomy (SCM) with immediate reconstruction at our institution were compared. Materials and Methods: A total of 254 patients with SCM with immediate reconstruction from 1998 to 2018 were included; their tumor diameter or induration was less than 25 mm, and it was not in close proximity to the skin. Preoperative chemotherapy and non-invasive cancer cases were excluded. Results: The number of patients was 166 for skin-sparing mastectomy (SSM) and 88 for nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM). The reconstructive techniques were deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flap (DIEP) reconstruction in 43 cases, latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction (LDflap) in 63 cases, tissue expander (TE) in 117 cases, and transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap/vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap (TRAM/VRAM) reconstruction in 31 cases. The histological types of breast cancer were 211 IDC and 43 STBC; 17 were mucinous carcinoma (MUC), 17 were invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), 6 were apocrine carcinoma, 1 was tubular carcinoma, and 2 were invasive micropapillary carcinoma. There was no difference in local recurrence or disease-free survival (LRFS, DFS) between IDC and STBC, and overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in STBC. OS was better in the STBC group because SCM with immediate reconstruction was performed for STBC, which is a histological type with a relatively good prognosis. Highly malignant histological types, such as squamous cell carcinoma or metaplastic carcinoma, were totally absent in this study. Conclusions: The indications for SCM with immediate reconstruction for relatively common STBCs such as MUC and ILC can be the same as for IDC.

Abstract
The patient is a 67-year-old woman who underwent surgery for left breast cancer in 1990 and right breast cancer in 2003. In 2013, local recurrence of right breast cancer was detected. Then she underwent removal of the local recurrence, axillary lymph node dissection, and post mastectomy irradiation. In 2017 lung metastasis appeared, and she underwent endocrine therapy and chemotherapy. BRCA1/2 analysis showed BRCA1 mutation, so olaparib was started in 2020. The metastatic lesions were reduced markedly, and the skin metastases were crusted over. Although it is necessary to decide when to use olaparib in each case, there is a possibility that olaparib may be effective even in the terminal stage, and it may be considered as one of the treatment options.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment remains a big challenge in the field of oncology. The liver disease (viral or not viral) underlying HCC turned out to be crucial in determining the biologic behavior of the tumor, including its response to treatment. The aim of this analysis was to investigate the role of the etiology of the underlying liver disease in survival outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective study on a large cohort of patients treated with lenvatinib as first-line therapy for advanced HCC from both Eastern and Western institutions. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS Among the 1232 lenvatinib-treated HCC patients, 453 (36.8%) were hepatitis C virus positive, 268 hepatitis B virus positive (21.8%), 236 nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) correlate (19.2%) and 275 had other etiologies (22.3%). The median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 6.2 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 5.9-6.7 months] and the median overall survival (mOS) was 15.8 months (95% CI 14.9-17.2 months). In the univariate analysis for OS NASH-HCC was associated with longer mOS [22.2 versus 15.1 months; hazard ratio (HR) 0.69; 95% CI 0.56-0.85; P = 0.0006]. In the univariate analysis for PFS NASH-HCC was associated with longer mPFS (7.5 versus 6.5 months; HR 0.84; 95% CI 0.71-0.99; P = 0.0436). The multivariate analysis confirmed NASH-HCC (HR 0.64; 95% CI 0.48-0.86; P = 0.0028) as an independent prognostic factor for OS, along with albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade, extrahepatic spread, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, portal vein thrombosis, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and alpha-fetoprotein. An interaction test was performed between sorafenib and lenvatinib cohorts and the results highlighted the positive predictive role of NASH in favor of the lenvatinib arm (P = 0.0047). CONCLUSION NASH has been identified as an independent prognostic factor in a large cohort of patients with advanced HCC treated with lenvatinib, thereby suggesting the role of the etiology in the selection of patients for tyrosine kinase treatment. If validated, this result could provide new insights useful to improve the management of these patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The incidence of Brugada syndrome (BrS) varies among racial groups. Several studies reported Glycerol-3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase 1-Like (GPD1-L) gene is associated with BrS. However, most of these studies were reported from Western countries, so the evidence about GPD1-L mutation is limited especially among Asian BrS patients. This study aimed to search for rare variants in GPD1-L among Japanese BrS patients and to investigate the pathogenicity.
Method
We performed whole-exome sequencing for patients with Brugada type 1 ECG pattern from Japanese multicenter BrS cohort consisting of SCN5A-negative BrS probands (n=288) and controls (n=372). We conducted patch-clamp study in human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells cotransfected with the wild-type sodium channel (SCN5A) and wild-type or mutant GPD1-L expression plasmid.
Results
We identified a rare variant in GPD1-L, p.D262N (c.784g>a) in 2 of 288 BrS probands, which was not identified in 372 controls. The minor allele frequency of the variant is 0.0014% in the Genome Aggregation Database. One proband was a 49-year-old man and the other was 34-year-old man who both developed a ventricular fibrillation. ECGs of both probands showed Brugada Type 1 pattern after administration of the pilsicainide. In functional study, coexpression of D262N GPD1-L with SCN5A in HEK293 cells significantly reduced inward sodium currents compared with wild-type GPD1-L. Additionally, inward sodium currents with D262N were similar to those with A280V GPD1-L, which was associated with BrS in previous reports (Figure). Also, several pathogenicity prediction programs, such as SIFT (score: 0.031) and PolyPhen2 (score: 0.937) predicted deleterious effects of GPD1-L D262N.
Conclusion
We identified a rare variant in GPD1-L at the rate of 0.7% in Japanese BrS patients without SCN5A mutations. GPD1-L, p.D262N reduces inward sodium currents and may be a novel susceptible variant for BrS in the Japanese population.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does direct unequal cleavage (DC) affect embryonic development after ICSI with testicular sperm (TESE-ICSI) in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) and/or obstructive azoospermia (OA)?
Summary answer
The incidence of DC at the first cleavage (DC1) was extremely high and DC1 negatively affected embryonic development in NOA patients.
What is known already
It has been reported that the blastocyst development of embryos with direct cleavage (DC) was significantly lower than that without DC, but the clinical pregnancy rate after blastocyst transfer was not different with or without DC. The incidence of DC has been reported to be significantly higher after ICSI with testicular sperm (TESE-ICSI) than ICSI with ejaculated sperm (Ej), but to our knowledge, there are few reports investigating that the embryos with DC after TESE-ICSI affect embryonic development.
Study design, size, duration
We conducted a retrospective cohort study using time-lapse incubators (Geri, Genea Biomedx, Australia) from September 2018 to November 2020. Of 1033 two-pronuclear (2PN) embryos from TESE-ICSI, 486 and 547 embryos were from OA (35.9±5.5 years) and NOA (33.7±5.2 years), respectively. As an age matched control, we chose 581 embryos from ICSI using Ej (36.5±4.4 years).
Participants/materials, setting, methods
DC embryos were classified as DC1 (DC at first cleavage), DC2 (DC at second cleavage), and non-DC (without DC). The incidences of DC1 or DC2 and blastocyst development rates were compared among OA, NOA and Ej groups. In TESE-ICSI group, we compared blastocyst development rates with or without DC between good and poor quality embryos on day 3. Good quality embryos were defined as 8 cells with G3 or more by the Veeck’s classification.
Main results and the role of chance
DC1 incidence was significantly higher in NOA (37.3%) than OA (27.8%) and Ej (22.7%) (P < 0.01), whereas DC2 incidence was not statistically different among three groups; NOA (15.7%), OA (15.0%) and Ej (13.4%). Blastocyst development rates in DC1 were 17.8%, 19.5% and 25.8% for NOA, OA and Ej, respectively, which were significantly lower compared to non-DC in corresponding three groups (65.1%, 67.7%, and 68.5%, respectively, P < 0.01). In TESE-ICSI group, good-quality embryo rate on day 3 was significantly lower in DC1 (34.5%, P < 0.01) than DC2 (60.9%) or non-DC (54.2%). Additionally, blastocyst development rates in DC1 and DC2 were significantly lower than non-DC regardless of embryonic grades on day 3 (35.1%, 51.0%, and 81.6% for good-quality embryos on day 3, 10.1%, 27.0%, and 49.1% for poor-quality embryos on day 3, respectively, P < 0.05). When immotile sperm was used for TESE-ICSI, DC1 incidence was 40.0% (6/15), which did not show statistically differences. When performing single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfers, no pregnancies resulted from either DC1 (n = 13) or DC2 (n = 3) embryos in TESE-ICSI group.
Limitations, reasons for caution
We had a few data about the pregnancy rates after blastocyst transfers with DC, because embryos with DC were seldom transferred due to those lower priority. Although DC might be influenced by the sperm, we did not analyze the incidence of DC by taking the semen factors into account.
Wider implications of the findings: The incidence of DC1 was extremely high and DC1 negatively affected embryonic development in NOA patients. Therefore, it is important to observe embryos using time-lapse incubator in order to recognize embryos with/without pregnancy potential, especially for embryos with DC1 in NOA patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
To analyze whether microfluidic sperm selection (MSS) by ZyMōt™ improves sperm DNA fragmentation rate and embryonic development compared to density gradient centrifugation with swim-up (DGCS).
Summary answer
MSS by ZyMōt™ selects sperm for clinical use with less DNA damage significantly compared to DGCS.
What is known already
Conventional sperm preparation methods, such as density gradient centrifugation and the swim-up method utilize centrifugation during processing, may damage the sperm. MSS may allow for improved selection of normal sperm compared with conventional sperm preparation as it yields sperm with a lower DNA fragmentation rate. However, there are few clinical studies by sibling oocytes study compared to DGCS.
Study design, size, duration
This prospective study was performed between March 2020 and May 2020 at a reproductive center. All patients involved gave written consent, and institutional review board approval was granted. A total of 575 metaphase II oocytes were collected from 49 cycles. Wife’s age was 34.7 ± 3.9 years old. Raw sperm concentration and motile sperm concentration was 63.1 ± 78.7M/mL, and 41.6 ± 67.7M/mL, respectively.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Patients who performed ART for the first or second time were divided into two groups according to MSS and DGCS. Sperm DNA fragmentation rate (SDFR) and motile sperm concentration were compered between MSS and DGCS. SDFR was measured by sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) using a flow cytometer. Sibling oocytes were randomized into MSS-IVF, DGCS-IVF, MSS-ICSI, and DGCS-ICSI. Rate of two pronuclear (2PN) oocytes, blastocysts development, and good-quality blastocysts were compared between each group.
Main results and the role of chance
SDFR was 13.5 ± 11.8% for raw semen. SDFR was significantly lower after MSS (3.6 ± 4.1%) than that for raw semen and after DGCS (17.4 ± 14.8%) (P < 0.01). Motile sperm concentration after MSS (19.0 ± 28.3M/mL) was significantly higher after than after DGCS (15.4 ± 15.3M/mL) (P < 0.01). The number of IVF performed was 145 for MSS and 132 for DGCS. IVF results (MSS vs DGCS) were 2PN rate (73.1% vs 72.0%), blastocysts development rate (65.3% vs 55.4%), and good quality blastocysts rate (43.2% vs 34.9%). The number of ICSI performed was 149 for MSS and 149 for DGCS. ICSI results (MSS vs DGCS) were 2PN rate (77.9% vs 79.2%), blastocysts development rate (68.8% vs 65.8%), and good quality blastocysts rate (35.8% vs 30.6%). No significant difference was observed between MSS and DGCS for each parameter both IVF and ICSI.
Limitations, reasons for caution
The participants were limited to those who collected semen of 2mL or more and motile sperm concentration of above 1M/mL, because semen sample needed to be divided to MSS and DGCS.
Wider implications of the findings: This is the first study to conducted in sibling oosytes study with MSS and DGCS, in both IVF and ICSI. MSS is effective in collecting sperm with less DNA damage compared to DGCS. Motile sperm concentration after using MSS is sufficient to perform IVF as well as DGCS.

Abstract
Pleckstrin homology-like domain, family A, member 1 (PHLDA1) is a protein involved in cell proliferation, adhesion and migration in colon cancer. In normal large intestinal mucosa, this protein is expressed only in the crypts. By contrast, its expression in adenomas and cancers of the large intestine is spread throughout the glandular ducts, and it has been reported that PHLDA1 may be involved in the process of carcinogenesis. PHLDA1 may also be involved in the pathogenesis of ulcerative colitis (UC). The expression levels of PHLDA1 in tissues from patients with UC were analyzed using immunohistochemistry, and its relationship with the development of UC-associated colorectal cancer (UC-CRC) was examined. Overall, tissue samples from 143 lesions (90 colitis lesions, 39 dysplastic lesions and 14 UC-CRC lesions) were prepared from excised specimens of 49 patients with UC who underwent surgery in Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital between January 2004 and December 2017. Subsequently, immunostaining for PHLDA1 was performed. PHLDA1 expression was evaluated in UC-CRC and dysplastic tissues within the entire lesion area on the slide and in colitis over the area of the accompanying duct. The cytoplasmic staining intensity was classified into four levels, and the expression score (0-2 points) was calculated. The median PHLDA1 expression score was 0.295 for colitis, 0.607 for dysplasia and 0.865 for UC-CRC. The dysplasia expression score was significantly higher than the colitis score (P<0.001), while the UC-CRC expression score was significantly higher than the dysplasia score (P=0.003). The expression levels of PHLDA1 in UC cases were higher in colitis, followed by dysplasia and UC-CRC, which suggested that this protein may be involved in the carcinogenesis of UC-CRC. In addition, PHLDA1 immunostaining may help in the diagnosis of dysplasia, which is a type of precancerous lesion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Adjuvant chemotherapy for high-risk Stage II colorectal cancer (CRC) is weakly recommended; however, no consensus exists on "high-risk" definition. Prognostic biomarker identification is important for selecting patients with poor prognosis who may benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using Microarray data analyses, ELF3 was identified as a candidate gene highly expressed in Stage II CRC with distant recurrences. ELF3 mRNA expression in 168 Stage II CRC patients was subjected to quantitative RT-PCR analysis and ELF3 protein expression in 185 patients was quantified by immunohistochemical analysis. The relationship between mRNA and protein expression levels and patient characteristics were also investigated. RESULTS The overall recurrence rate and relapse-free survival were significantly poorer in the ELF3 high-expression than the low-expression group at the mRNA and protein levels. High ELF3 mRNA and protein expression levels were independent poor prognostic factors. CONCLUSION High ELF3 expression was associated with recurrence of Stage II.

Abstract
Background Primary tumor location (PTL) is an important prognostic and predictive factor in the first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Although regorafenib (REG) and trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) have been introduced recently, the clinical impact of PTL in these treatments is not well understood. Materials and Methods We retrospectively evaluated patients with mCRC who were registered in a multicenter observational study (the REGOTAS study). The main inclusion criteria were Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0-2, refractory or intolerant to fluoropyrimidines, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, angiogenesis inhibitors, anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy (if RAS wild-type), and no prior use of REG and FTD/TPI. The impact of PTL on overall survival (OS) was evaluated using Cox proportional hazard models based on baseline characteristics. Results A total of 550 patients (223 patients in the REG group and 327 patients in the FTD/TPI group) were included in this study, with 122 patients with right-sided tumors and 428 patients with left-sided tumors. Although the right-sided patients had significantly shorter OS compared with the left-sided patients by univariate analysis (p = 0.041), a multivariate analysis revealed that PTL was not an independent prognostic factor (hazard ratio, 0.95; p = 0.64). In a subgroup analysis, the OS was comparable between the REG and FTD/TPI groups regardless of PTL (p for interactions = 0.60). Conclusions In the present study, PTL is not a prognostic and predictive factor in patients with mCRC under later-line REG or FTD/TPI therapy.

Abstract
Background:Telemedicine can be performed using a conventional videophone or web conferencing system. Then, joint lesions can only be observed and inferred from two-dimensional images, and it is difficult to perform accurate joint assessments, which is essential for the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Objectives:To develop the next-generation online telemedicine system utilizing mixed reality for RA.Methods:We have developed a system that can assess joints accurately in three-dimensions images in real-time, using Azure Kinect DK (depth sensor)/ HoloLens 2 (headset), which are mixed reality technologies, and Teams (online interview/chat) provided by Microsoft. Furthermore, by applying artificial intelligence (AI), we plan to implement additionally to this system 1) a function to quickly catch and automatically evaluate the patient’s anxiety and changes in facial expressions at the time of examination, 2) a function to record dialogue with the patient in chronological order, 3) a function to support the detection of swollen joints, and 4) function to automatically analyze the questionnaire.Results:This system remotely connects a rheumatologist in the Nagasaki University Hospital (Nagasaki City, urban area) and a patient with RA and a non- rheumatologist in the Goto Central Hospital (Goto Island, rural area). A three-dimensional hologram of the patient’s hand projected in front of a rheumatologist. Using this system, we are able to evaluate joints more accurately than using a conventional videophone or web conferencing system.Conclusion:It is expected that this system will enable remote medical care specializing in rheumatology, which is standardized at a high level even in areas without rheumatologists such as remote islands and remote areas. This system remotely connects Nagasaki City and Goto Island, but due to the performance of the system, it is not limited to these areas and it is possible to connect rheumatologists to any area that can be connected to the network. It is also effective for the purpose of avoiding the risk of infection during long-distance hospital visits under the epidemic of COVID-19 infection.References:[1]Mov Disord. 2020;35:1719-1720.Disclosure of Interests:Shin-ya Kawashiri Speakers bureau: Speaker fees from AbbVie, Asahi Kasei, Astellas, Chugai, Eisai, Eli Lilly, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Novartis, and ONO., Grant/research support from: Research grants from Pfizer., Fumiaki Nonaka: None declared, Shinji Chiba: None declared, Tomoyuki Honda: None declared, Tomohiko Nakajima: None declared, Tomoyuki Ishikawa: None declared, Atsushi Kawakami Speakers bureau: Speaker fees from AbbVie, Actelion, Asahi Kasei, Astellas, Boehringer Ingelheim, Celltrion, Chugai, Daiichi Sankyo, Eisai, Eli Lilly, GSK, Janssen, Kowa, MedPeer, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Novartis, ONO, Pfizer, Taisho, and Takeda., Grant/research support from: Grants and research support from AbbVie, Actelion, Asahi Kasei, Astellas, AYUMI, Boehringer Ingelheim, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Celltrion, Chugai, Daiichi Sankyo, Eisai, Eli Lilly, Kyowa Hakko Kirin, MSD, Neopharma, Novartis, ONO, Sanofi, Taisho, Takeda Science Foundation, and Teijin

Abstract
Several chemotherapeutic options are available for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), making it important to individualize treatment regimens. Individualization requires the clinical application of biomarkers for regimen selection, which is presently insufficient. miRNAs serve an important role in the control of biological processes in several types of cancer, acting as plasma biomarkers. The current study aimed to evaluate novel plasma microRNAs for predicting chemo-resistance in chemotherapy for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) by employing a Toray 3D-Gene microRNA array-based approach, which compared plasma content before and during treatment. Specific miRNAs that acted as biomarkers of the fluoropyrimidine (FP) + oxaliplatin (OX) + bevacizumab (BEV) regime, a common first-line treatment for mCRC, were searched. The plasma samples of 110 patients with mCRC who had received the FP+OX+BEV regimen were subjected to microarray analyses using the 3D-Gene miRNA microarray platform, after which miRNAs levels were quantified via reverse transcription- quantitative PCR. Patients exhibiting complete response, partial response (PR) and reduced stable disease (SD) were defined as responders. Patients with extended SD and progression disease (PD) were defined as non-responders. Following microarray analysis, miR-33a-5p was selected as the candidate miRNA as it was upregulated in non-responder plasma samples. The expression of miR-33a-5p was upregulated in the non-responders (n=15) compared with the responders (n=95) (P=0.032). The high expression group demonstrated significantly poor progression-free survival (P<0.01). To evaluate whether miR-33a-5p can serve as a marker of chemo-resistance, miR-33a-5p expression levels were assessed at the following three time-points: Pre-point (before chemotherapy); PR-point (3-months after chemotherapy began); and PD-point (the time at which recurrence or progression was recorded). The results revealed that expression levels were significantly increased at the PD-point when compared with that at the pre-point (P=0.024). The current study determined that the miR-33a-5p expression level in the plasma may serve as a predictive marker of efficacy and as a biomarker of chemo-resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical utility of plasma cell-free DNA in precision cancer medicine has not been established. A pilot study was conducted to investigate the clinical utility of comprehensive genomic profiling by liquid biopsy in a Japanese population. METHODS In this PROFILE study, 102 patients with advanced solid tumors who showed progression with standard systemic therapy underwent liquid biopsy between August 2017 and February 2020. Liquid biopsy was performed using Guardant360. RESULTS Of the 102 patients, 56 were women, and the median age was 65 years. Regarding the types of cancer, 31 were hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer, 17 were gastrointestinal cancer, and 13 were breast cancer. Frequently altered genes were TP53 (53.9%, 46/102), KRAS (25.5%, 26/102), PIK3CA (19.6%, 20/102), and EGFR (17.6%, 18/102). At least one genetic aberration was detected in 92 patients (90.2%). Actionable mutation was discovered in 88 patients (86.3%), and 67 patients (65.7%) were clinical trial candidates. Of the 102 patients, 22 (21.6%) were able to receive biomarker-matched therapy. Their best responses were as follows: 1 complete response, 3 partial responses, 7 stable diseases, and 11 progressive diseases. Additionally, the treated patients were divided on the basis of matching scores (≥ 50% vs. < 50%). The patients were divided into high and low groups. The high group had a higher disease control rate (DCR) of 75% compared with 20% in the low group (P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS The results indicate that liquid biopsy is useful for identifying actionable mutations associated with the clinical response of selected patients.

Abstract
Background: The survival benefits of regorafenib (REG) and trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride (TFTD) have been demonstrated in chemorefractory patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). However, the effects of crossover administration of REG and TFTD on patient survival remain unclear. The present study evaluated the association between exposure to REG and TFTD and overall survival (OS) in patients with mCRC using data from the REGOTAS study. Patients and Methods: We analyzed patients registered in the REGOTAS study, which retrospectively compared the efficacy and safety of use of REG or TFTD as later-line chemotherapy for chemorefractory mCRC patients. We compared the survival outcomes of cohort A (treated using both REG and TFTD) and cohort B (treated using either REG or TFTD). Results: A total of 550 patients (cohort A, n = 252; cohort B, n = 298) met the inclusion criteria. The median OS was significantly increased in cohort A compared with cohort B [9.6 months (95% confidence interval (CI), 8.9–10.9 months) vs. 5.2 months (95% CI, 4.4–6.0 months), P < 0.001]. Multivariate analysis revealed that cohort A was independently associated with a significant increase in OS [A vs. B: Hazard ratios (HR), 0.58; 95% CI, 0.47–0.72; P < 0.001]. Subgroup analysis adjusted using multivariate Cox model revealed a consistently better trend in most subgroups for cohort A compared with cohort B. Conclusions: Our study revealed prolonged survival in patients treated with REG and TFTD. Therefore, all active agents, including REG and TFTD, should be made available to mCRC patients.

Abstract
Grade 3 (G3, poorly differentiated) is an important treatment-decision factor in stage II colon cancer, but no unified diagnostic criteria are established. According to previous studies, an intratumoural poorly differentiated area with no glandular formation (POR) that fills the microscopic field of a ×40 objective lens was an essential factor that defined G3. We aimed to prospectively validate this in a randomized controlled study of adjuvant chemotherapy (SACURA trial). We enrolled 991 patients with stage II colon cancer. POR was graded according to the ×40 objective lens rule and the intensity of poorly differentiated clusters (Grade), and its prognostic power was compared with that of the conventional tumor grade on the basis of predominant histology rule (Grade). According to Grade, 313, 526, and 152 tumors were classified as G1, G2, and G3, respectively, and the 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were 91.1%, 82.9%, and 74.7%, respectively (P<0.0001). When G3 and G3 were alternatively added to the prognostic model consisting of 8 conventional factors, only G3 was a significant factor for RFS (P=0.040, Wald test). The adverse impact of G3 on RFS was greater in the microsatellite stable/microsatellite instability-low subset than that in the full analysis set. In the microsatellite stable/microsatellite instability-low subset, the 5-year RFS rate of patients with G3 tumors in the chemotherapy group achieved greater improvement (9.1%) than the surgery-alone group. The least differentiation policy with the ×40 objective lens rule may be highlighted as the diagnostic criterion for G3 because of its validated prognostic value.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that dysregulation of transcriptional enhancers plays a significant role in cancer pathogenesis. Herein, we performed a genome-wide discovery of enhancer elements in colorectal cancer (CRC). We identified PVT1 locus as a previously unrecognized transcriptional regulator in CRC with a significantly high enhancer activity, which ultimately was responsible for regulating the expression of MYC oncogene. High expression of the PVT1 long-non-coding RNA (lncRNA) transcribed from the PVT1 locus was associated with poor survival among patients with stage II and III CRCs (p < 0.05). Aberrant methylation of the PVT1 locus inversely correlated with the reduced expression of the corresponding the PVT1 lncRNA, as well as MYC gene expression. Bioinformatic analyses of CRC-transcriptomes revealed that the PVT1 locus may also broadly impact the expression and function of other key genes within two key CRC-associated signaling pathways - the TGFβ/SMAD and Wnt/β-Catenin pathways. We conclude that the PVT1 is a novel oncogenic enhancer of MYC and its activity is controlled through epigenetic regulation mediated through aberrant methylation in CRC. Our findings also suggest that the PVT1 lncRNA expression is a promising prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target in CRC.

Abstract
Background
Calmodulin (CaM) is a ubiquitous Ca2+ sensor molecule encoded by three distinct calmodulin genes, CALM1–3, and has an important role for cardiac ion channel function. Recently, heterozygous missense mutations in CALM genes were reported to cause a new category of life-threatening genetic arrhythmias such as long-QT syndrome (LQTS) and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), which is called as “calmodulinopathy”. The patients with calmodulinopathy show poor prognosis and there is no effective treatment for them.
Purpose
Considering the dominant-negative effect of mutant calmodulin proteins produced by heterozygous missense mutations in CALMs, we aimed to prove the concept of antisense-based therapy to treat calmodulinopathy using human iPS cell-derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC-CM) model.
Methods
We designed multiple locked nucleic acid (LNA) gapmer-antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) targeting CALM2 and analyzed the silencing efficiency and toxicity in cultured cells to select the most potent ASO. Using CMs differentiated from hiPSCs which were generated form a 12-year-old boy with LQTS carrying a heterozygous CALM2-N98S mutation, CALM2 expression and action potentials (APs) were analyzed to evaluate the efficacy of ASOs.
Results
We identified several ASOs which reduced CALM2 expression without affecting cell viability in human cultured cells (HepG2) (ASO 50 nM, n=2; Figure 1A). Considering further experiments in vivo mouse model, we investigated the CALM2 silencing activity in mouse cultured cells (3T3-L1) without transfection (free-uptake) (ASO 1 μM, n=2; †ASOs have homologous sequence between human and mouse; Figure B). After free-uptake CALM2 silencing analysis in 3T3-L1 cells, we identified that ASO #2 has the most potent CALM2 silencing activity and low cytotoxicity (Figure 1B). ASO #2 effectively reduced CALM2 expression even in hiPSC-CMs (ASO(−): n=3, lipofection: n=4, free-uptake: n=3; P<0.05; Figure 1C). In action potential recordings, we demonstrated that ASO #2 ameliorated prolonged AP durations (APD90) in N98S-hiPSC-CMs at 0.5 Hz pacing (ASO(−): 666±123 ms (n=7), lipofection: 329±21 ms (n=8), free-uptake: 388±34 ms (n=12); P<0.05; Figure 1D).
Conclusion
Our results using patient-derived hiPSC-CM model suggest that ASO-based therapy might be a promising strategy for the treatment of calmodulinopathy.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
We identified a large family of 53 members of whom 22 present a new cardiac syndrome characterized by electrical disorders and developmental defects following an autosomal dominant model. Among the affected family members 6 are implanted with a pacemaker, 2 experienced syncope and one a sudden death at 43yo. Linkage analysis points, with high confidence, to the chromosome 4q25 region. This region is associated with the Ankyrin syndrome (mutation in ANK2) sharing partly the electrical defects observed in the affected family members. No mutation was found in the coding region of the 4q25 region as well as in the coding and non-coding part of the ANK2.
Objective
Our aims are first to identity the responsible mutation present in this family and understand the molecular mechanisms leading to this new syndrome.
Method
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has been employed to identify genetic variants responsible for this syndrome. ChIP-seq and ATAC-seq were used for functional annotation and genome editing (CRISPR-Cas9) to generate iPS cellular models.
Results
By WGS we uncovered a deleted region of 15kb in a gene desert area on 4q25, segregating in all affected relatives. Five other families (3 French and 2 Japanese) presenting the same phenotype show overlapping deletions. We generated human cardiac epigenetic data and identified among the 15kb deleted region a unique active enhancer region within the presence of a transcript factor CTCF binding site. Isogenic cell lines where the 15kb and the CTCF binding have been deleted are under investigation.
Conclusion
We identified a new cardiac syndrome and for the first time a mutation located within a gene desert area leading to severe and complex cardiac disorders. We demonstrated the presence of a likely gene regulatory element. Experiments are ongoing to characterize the molecular mechanisms and consequence of the deletion on gene expression.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hyperuricemia occurs in approximately 80% in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and is positively correlated with pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). It has been reported that uric acid (UA) reduced endothelium derived nitric oxide (NO) production in porcine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAEC). However, the effects of UA and xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), catalytic enzyme of UA, on the development of PAH have not been fully elucidated.
Purpose
We examined the followings; (1) the effects of hyperuricemia on the endothelial function and the development of PAH in rats (2) the therapeutic effects of UA transporter inhibitor on PAH in rats, and (3) the role of XOR in PAH in mice.
Methods
We used normal and 5-wk Sugen5416/Hypoxia/Normoxia-exposed (SU/Hx/Nx) rats. Gene expression levels of URATv1, a UA transporter, were measured by RT-PCR. We determined the isometric tension of PA rings isolated from normal rats. The study with the isolated perfused lung preparation was performed in SU/HX/Nx rats. To investigate the chronic effect of UA on the development of PAH, hyperuricemia was induced by the administration of 2% oxonic acid (OA) in diet for 6-wk. Benzbromarone (BBR, 10mg/kg/day, diet, from weeks 0 to 5), a URATv1 transporter inhibitor, was administered in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats with or without 2%OA. To examine the role of XOR in PAH, XOR+/− and wild type (WT) mice were exposed to 3-wk Nx or Hx (10% O2).
Results
The mRNA of URATv1 was detected in the normal lungs. Isometric tension study showed that UA (8 mg/dl) inhibited acetylcholine-induced vasorelaxation. In perfused lung preparations, UA acutely increased estimated PVR in a dose-dependent manner (1.6–16.0mg/dl) with reducing cGMP levels in the lungs. BBR significantly attenuated the pressor response to UA. UA levels in the plasma and the lung tissues were significantly elevated in SU/Hx/Nx-rats with 2%OA (normal vs. vehicle vs. 2%OA, plasma: 0.24±0.01 vs. 0.80±0.14 and 1.44±0.17 mg/dl; lung tissues: 68±3 vs. 142±3 and 377±46 pmol/g tissue). They exhibited further elevation of right ventricle systolic pressure (RVSP) (31±2 vs. 72±6 vs. 101±3 mmHg) and Ea (a marker of RV afterload) (0.24±0.04 vs. 0.97±0.15 vs. 2.36±0.49 mmHg/μL) with the exacerbation of occlusive lesions of PAs. BBR had no changes in the UA levels in the plasma (1.93±0.30 mg/dL), but significantly reduced the UA levels in the lung tissues (101±10 pmol/g tissue) and attenuated the increase in RVSP (53±8mmHg) and Ea (0.21±0.05 mmHg/mL) in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats with 2%OA. On the other hand, BBR had no effects on RVSP (76±7 mmHg) and Ea (0.91±0.15 mmHg/mL) in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats without 2%OA. There were no significant differences in RVSP between XOR+/− mice with Hx and WT with Hx (26±2 vs. 26±2 mmHg).
Conclusions
Hyperuricemia itself impairs endothelial function and deteriorates PAH via URATv1 in a XOR-independent manner. UA can be a novel therapeutic target for PAH.

Abstract
Mirogabalin is a novel, preferentially selective α2δ-1 ligand to treat neuropathic pain. However, this agent is not always effective for patients with neuropathic pain. We therefore attempted to identify factors that could predict the efficacy of mirogabalin. The study comprised 133 patients given mirogabalin for alleviation of neuropathic pain between April and November 2019 at our hospital. Variables were extracted from medical records for regression analysis of factors associated to alleviation of neuropathic pain. We evaluated the effect of mirogabalin at two weeks after administration. Groups were categorized according to degree of improvement: poor, effective, or very effective. Multivariate ordered logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors for the usefulness of mirogabalin. Threshold measures were analysed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Maintenance dose [odds ratio (OR) = 0.90; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.84-0.98; P = 0.01], concomitant use of opioids (OR = 0.26, 95% CI = 0.08-0.83; P = 0.023) and Neurotropin® (NTP) (OR = 4.78, 95% CI =1.04-21.93; P = 0.044) were factors significantly correlated to the effect of mirogabalin. ROC curve analysis of the effective group indicated a threshold maintenance dose of≤ 20 mg/day (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.53). In conclusion, maintenance dose (≤ 20 mg), concomitant use of opioids and NTP were identified as predictors for the utility of mirogabalin.
