Abstract
Introduction
A novel cryoballoon system (POLARx) has emerged and its efficacy regarding pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been already investigated. On the other hand, cryoballoon ablation of left atrial (LA) roof has been performed using a conventional cryoballoon system (Arctic Front Advance Pro [AFA-Pro]) in addition to PVI. However, cryoballoon ablation of LA roof with POLARx has not been investigated yet.
Methods
We performed cryoballoon ablation of LA roof with POLARx in 22 patients after we achieved PVI. After the cryoballoon ablation, complete conduction block at LA roof and isolation of all PVs were confirmed by creating an activation map during high right atrium pacing. If they could not be obtained with solely a cryoballoon, touch up ablation with radiofrequency ablation was permitted. The procedural data during ablation with POLARx was compared with those during ablation with AFA-Pro we had performed in a historical cohort of patients (n=46).
Results
Complete conduction block at LA roof without touch up ablation could be obtained in all the patients in POLARx group and 44 (95.7%) patients in AFA-Pro group. Total procedure time was almost similar in both groups (164.2±35.4 min for POLARx vs 180.3±35.4 min for AFA-Pro, p=0.10). During LA roof line ablation, nadir balloon temperature was significantly lower in POLARx group (right side: −53.6±4.4°C for POLARx vs −45.6±4.6°C for AFA-Pro, p<0.01, central part: −56.4±4.3°C for POLARx vs −46.0±3.7°C for AFA-Pro, p<0.01, left side: −55.1±3.5°C for POLARx vs −45.7±5.3°C for AFA-Pro, p<0.01), and balloon temperature reached −40°C earlier in POLARx (right side: 30.7±8.9 sec for POLARx vs 78.0±39.8 sec for AFA-Pro, p<0.01, central part: 30.6±9.3 sec for POLARx vs 65.9±33.3 sec for AFA-Pro, p<0.01, left side: 30.4±4.2 sec for POLARx vs 78.8±49.6 sec for AFA-Pro, p<0.01). Total freezing time required for LA roof line ablation was significantly shorter in POLARx group (589.3±163.6 sec for POLARx vs 877.5±191.7 sec for AFA-Pro, p<0.01).The scar area created after LA roof line ablation was similar in both groups (9.3±4.1 cm2 for POLARx vs 11.0±4.8 cm2 for AFA-Pro, p=0.23).
Conclusion
Complete conduction block at LA roof could be obtained after cryoballoon ablation with POLARx, in the same way as AFA-Pro. Lower nadir balloon temperature could be expected in shorter freezing time during LA roof line ablation in using POLARx compared with AFA-Pro.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Although pulmonary vein isolation is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, concomitant cryoballoon ablation of left atrial (LA) roof has been expected to improve clinical outcomes after ablation. We demonstrate characteristics and efficacy of cryoballoon ablation of LA roof through our experiences from a large volume of procedures.
Methods
We had performed cryoballoon ablation of LA roof in 1036 procedures including 202 redo procedures in AF patients since June 2016. Among these procedures, we analyzed 834 patients (309 paroxysmal AF) who had undergone de novo ablation for AF. We confirmed whether the complete conduction block of LA roof line was obtained after the ablation.
Results
LA roof line block was obtained in 767 patients (92.0%) without touch up ablation with a radiofrequency catheter (Group A). LA diameter (LAD) was significantly smaller (43.6±6.6mm vs 47.4±7.5mm, p<0.01) and body mass index (BMI) was significantly lower (24.9±4.0kg/m2 vs 26.3±4.6kg/m2, p=0.01) in those in Group A compared with those without LA roof line block after cryoballoon ablation (Group B). Compared with those in Group B, cryoballoon application number of LA roof (4.1±1.2 vs 4.5±1.6, p<0.01) and mean nadir of cryoballoon temperature during cryoballoon ablation of LA roof (−44.5±5.6°C vs −40.5±7.5°C, p<0.01) were significantly lower in those in Group A. Regarding cryoballoon application number, the number of the cryoballoon application in which a cryoballoon was applied to LA roof with the guiding catheter located in a left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV) was significantly lower in patients in Group A (1.3±0.8 vs 1.6±1.0, p=0.02), and when the number was less than 2, mean nadir of cryoballoon temperature was significantly lower compared with when it was 2 or more than 2 (−44.8±5.8°C vs −42.8±5.6°C, p<0.01). Among those refer to first ablation procedures, one-year Kaplan-Meier atrial arrhythmias free rate estimates, 80.6% for those in Group A and 59.0% for those in Group B (p<0.01). Multivariate analysis identified LA roof line block without touch up ablation as one of the predictors of atrial arrhythmias recurrences. Atrial tachycardia depending on LA roof occurred after cryoballoon ablation of LA roof in 8 patients, although LA roof line block without touch up ablation could be obtained in the index ablation procedure in 6 patients among them.
Conclusion
LA roof line block could be obtained by solely cryoballoon with a reasonable success rate, especially in those with smaller LAD and lower BMI. To obtaine LA roof line block, cryoballoon ablation with the guiding catheter located in LSPV is preferable. LA roof line block without touch up ablation brings better clinical outcomes in those who underwent cryoballoon ablation of LA roof.

Abstract
There is a lack of evidence regarding the optimal intra-operative glycaemic level of patients with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency to prevent cerebral oedema due to protein catabolism and hyperammonemia. We describe a case of a two-year-old girl with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency who underwent cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. A high-dose dextrose infusion to prevent protein catabolism was given throughout surgery, which caused uncontrollable hyperglycaemia unresponsive to high-dose insulin administration. Factors contributing to the hyperglycaemia may have included surgical stress, steroid administration and hypothermia. During invasive surgery, anaesthetists should carefully adjust the rates of dextrose and insulin infusions, guided by close monitoring of blood ammonia, glucose and lactate.

Background
Haemodynamic assessment during stress testing is not commonly performed for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) due to its invasiveness, less feasibility, and safety concerns. Passive leg-lifting (PLL) manoeuvres have been introduced as a simple alternative for non-invasive preload stress testing; however, the haemodynamic load imposed on the cardiovascular system is unsatisfactory, which precludes the accurate assessment of the preload reserve for patients with HF.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to assess the haemodynamic characteristics of patients with HFrEF in response to a preload stress during dynamic postural alterations by combining the semi-sitting position (SSP) and PLL. We also evaluated whether combined postural stress could be used for risk stratification for these patients.
Methods
For this study, 101 patients with HFrEF and 35 age- and sex-matched normal controls were prospectively recruited. At each postural position (i.e., baseline, SSP, and PLL), all standard echocardiographic and Doppler variables were obtained. Adverse cardiac events were prespecified as the combined endpoints of death from or hospitalisation for deteriorated HF, or sudden cardiac death. Clinical follow-up was conducted for a median of 7 months.
Results
During PLL stress, the stroke volume index (SVi) significantly increased in both controls (from 40 ± 6 to 43 ± 6 mL/m², P = 0.03) and HFrEF patients (from 31 ± 9 to 34 ± 10 mL/m², P = 0.03). Conversely, during SSP stress, the SVi significantly decreased for both controls (from 40 ± 6 to 37 ± 6 mL/m², P = 0.03) and HFrEF patients (31 ± 9 to 28 ± 8 mL/m², P = 0.03). During the follow-up period, 16 patients developed cardiac events. In patients without events, the Frank-Starling mechanism was well preserved (Fig. A). Namely, the SVi significantly increased from 31 ± 9 to 35 ± 10 mL/m² (P = 0.02) during PLL stress, while the SVi significantly decreased from 31 ± 8 to 28 ± 8 mL/m² (P = 0.02) during SSP stress. In contrast, for patients with cardiac events, the SVi did not change during postural alterations (n.s), which indicated that the failing heart operates on the flat portion of the Frank-Starling curve (Fig. A). When patients were divided into three equal sub-groups based on the total difference in the SVi during dynamic postural stress, patients with impaired preload reserve (third trimester, ΔSVi ≤ 3.0 mL/m²) showed significantly worse event-free survival than the other two sub-groups (Fig. B; P < 0.001). In a Cox proportional-hazard analysis, baseline LVEF (hazard ratio 0.93; P = 0.04), and ΔSVi during postural stress (hazard ratio 0.76; P = 0.004) were predictors of future cardiac events.
Conclusions
The combined assessment of dynamic postural stress during PLL and SPP is a simple, time-saving, and easy-to-use clinical tool for the assessment of preload reserve for patients with HFrEF. Moreover, postural stress echocardiography proved to contribute to the risk stratification for these patients.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) promotes better clinical outcomes for intervention in complex lesions. However, the data demonstrating whether use of IVUS improves primary patency following stenting for aorto-iliac lesions in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) are limited.
Purpose
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the impact of IVUS use on primary patency 12 months after stent implantation for aorto-iliac lesions.
Methods
We analyzed a clinical database of the OMOTENASHI registry (Observational prospective Multicenter registry study on Outcomes of peripheral arTErial disease patieNts treated by AngioplaSty tHerapy in aortoIliac artery), registering symptomatic PAD patients (Rutherford category 2, 3, or 4) undergoing endovascular therapy for aorto-iliac lesions between January 2014 and April 2016 in Japan. The current study analyzed 803 patients who underwent self-expandable stent implantation at 61 centers with the institutional volume known. The primary endpoint was 12-month restenosis, defined as ≥50% stenosis on computed tomography or angiography, or a peak systolic velocity ratio ≥2.5 on duplex ultrasound. When treatment strategies, endovascular procedures and clinical outcomes were compared between the patients treated with IVUS use and those treated without IVUS use, the propensity score matching was performed to minimize the inter-group difference in baseline characteristics.
Results
A total of 545 patients (67.9%) underwent IVUS-supported stent implantation. Patients treated with IVUS use had a lower prevalence of regular dialysis, whereas they had a higher prevalence of TASC II class D and chronic total occlusion. In patients treated with IVUS use, carbon dioxide contrast agent were more often used, and 0.035-inch guidewire was less frequently selected. Implanted stents in these patients were longer and smaller in diameter. The propensity score matching extracted 138 pairs, with no remarkable intergroup difference in baseline characteristics. Procedure time ≤1 hour was less frequent in patients treated with IVUS use; their radiation time was longer. Endovascular strategies, as well as postoperative medication were not significantly different between patients with and without IVUS use. The 12-month restenosis risk was not significantly different between patients with and without IVUS use (10.2% [6.9 to 14.9%] versus 10.3% [5.4 to 18.6%], P=0.99).
Conclusion
IVUS use in aorto-iliac stenting for patients with PAD was not associated with primary patency at 12 months.

Abstract
The geometric, electronic and magnetic properties of a nitric oxide (NO) adsorbed Fe3O4(100) surface have been investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. NO molecules preferentially bond with surface Fe(B) atoms via their N atoms. The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) is not recommended to be used in such a strongly correlated system since it provides not only an overestimation of the adsorption energy and an underestimation of the Fe(B)-N bond length, but also magnetic quenching of the adsorbate and the bonded Fe(B) atoms. In contrast, a tilted geometry and magnetization of the adsorbate and the bonded Fe(B) atom are obtained after including the strong on-site Coulomb interactions through a Hubbard term (GGA+U). The spin-down 2π* states of the NO molecule are filled and broadened due to the adsorbate-substrate interaction and the molecule-molecule interaction. The surface spin polarization close to the Fermi level is expected to be greatly enhanced by the NO adsorption which has significance for interface design in spintronic devices.

Abstract
Abstract:Interactions are described of central origin between respiratory, cardiac and stepping rhythms during fictive locomotion in paralyzed, vagotomized, and decerebrated cats. Fictive locomotion was induced by tonic electrical stimulation of the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR). The coherence between heart beat fluctuation, the efferent discharges of the phrenic, and the lateral gastrocnemius nerves was used to evaluate the strength of the coupling between those three rhythms. The heart beat rhythm was modulated by the centrally generated respiratory and stepping rhythms. The central respiratory rhythm was modulated by the centrally generated stepping rhythm. Based on the present findings, we have proposed a new model concerning the functional hierarchical structures of the three biological oscillators.

Abstract
Reversible control of the spin state of an organic molecule is significant for the development of molecular spintronic devices. Here, density functional theory calculations have been performed to study the adsorption of atomic nitrogen on a single manganese phthalocyanine (MnPc) molecule, three-layered MnPc, and MnPc on an Fe(100) surface. For all three cases, the N atom strongly adsorbs on top of the Mn atom and induces a significant variation of the geometric, electronic and magnetic properties. After N adsorption, an energy gap appears and the electronic states become unpolarized. Different functionals including three hybrid functionals are used in these calculations, and all yield a switchable spin state.

Abstract
Clinical kernicterus in preterm infants has recently been reported in Japan, diagnosed on the basis of clinical findings during the neonatal and infancy periods. We investigated the incidence of clinical kernicterus in preterm infants <30 weeks gestational age (GA) based on a nationwide survey conducted in 233 certified educational facilities for neonatologists. The numbers of infants admitted and infants who died within 14 days after birth during 2011, and the number of infants who subsequently developed clinical kernicterus, were recorded. A total of 2720 infants were analyzed, representing 59% (2720/4623) of all preterm live births <30 weeks GA in Japan in 2011. Of these, 159 (5.8%) died within 14 days after birth, similar to the national rate. Five infants developed clinical kernicterus in infancy (5/2720, 0.18%). The current incidence of clinical kernicterus in Japan is therefore estimated at 1.8 per 1000 live births <30 weeks GA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare systemic small-vessel vasculitis associated with asthma, eosinophilia, and necrotizing vasculitis. EGPA is potentially life-threatening and often involves peripheral neuropathies, peptic ulcers, cerebral vessel disease, and cardiovascular disease. However, there is limited understanding of the prognostics factors for patients with EGPA. We investigated the clinical features and factors affecting patients' in-hospital mortality, using a national inpatient database in Japan. METHODS We retrospectively collected data of EGPA patients who required hospitalization between July 2010 and March 2013, using the Diagnosis Procedure Combination database. We evaluated EGPA patients' characteristics and performed multivariate logistic regression analyses to assess the factors associated with in-hospital mortality. RESULTS A total of 2195 EGPA patients were identified. The mean age was 61.9 years, 42.1% (924/2195) were male, and 41.6% (914/2195) had emergent admission. In-hospital deaths occurred in 97/2195 patients (4.4%). Higher in-hospital mortality was associated with age older than 65 years, disturbance of consciousness on admission, unscheduled admission, respiratory disease, cardio-cerebrovascular disease, renal disease, sepsis, and malignant disease on admission. Lower mortality was associated with female gender and peripheral neuropathies. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed the clinical features of EGPA patients who required hospitalization and the factors associated with their mortality. These results may be useful for physicians when assessing disease severity or treatments for hospitalized EGPA patients.

Abstract
Because mutations in the human UTP14C gene are associated with male infertility, we sought to develop a method for fertility restoration in azoospermic mice with a mutation in the orthologous Utp14b(jsd) (jsd) gene that have spermatogonial arrest. The method is based on our observation that elevation of testicular temperatures restores spermatogonial differentiation in jsd mutant mice. To non-surgically raise intrascrotal temperatures we placed these mice in incubators at different elevated ambient temperatures. Exposure of jsd/jsd mice to ambient temperatures of 34.5 °C or 35.5 °C for 24 days increased the proportion of tubules with spermatocytes from 0% in untreated controls to over 80%. As those higher temperatures interfere with spermatid differentiation, the mice were then transferred to incubators at 32-32.5 °C for the next 24 days. These environments allowed differentiation to progress, resulting in up to 42% of tubules having late spermatids and about half of the mutant mice having spermatozoa in testicular suspensions. When these spermatozoa were used in intracytoplasmic sperm injection, all gave rise to viable healthy offspring with normal weight gain and fertility. The successful restoration of fertility in Utp14b mutant mice suggests that transient testicular warming might also be useful for spermatogenesis recovery in infertile men with UTP14C gene mutations.

Abstract
We present a novel method of delivering a low-concentration (<15%) ozone beam to an ultra-high vacuum environment for the purpose of cleaning and dosing experimental samples through oxidation processing. The system described is safe, low-cost, and practical and overcomes the limitations of ozone transport in the molecular flow environment of high or ultrahigh vacuum whilst circumventing the use of pure ozone gas which is potentially highly explosive. The effectiveness of this method in removing surface contamination is demonstrated through comparison of high-temperature annealing of a simple oxide (MgO) in ozone and oxygen environments as monitored using quadrupole mass spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. Additionally, we demonstrate the potential of ozone for obtaining clean complex oxide surfaces without the need for high-temperature annealing which may significantly alter surface structure.

Abstract
Psychiatric disorders have long and dominantly been regarded to be induced by disturbances of neuronal networks including synapses and neurotransmitters. Thus, the effects of psychotropic drugs such as antipsychotics and antidepressants have been understood to modulate synaptic regulation via receptors and transporters of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin. Recently, microglia, immunological/inflammatory cells in the brain, have been indicated to have positive links to psychiatric disorders. Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and postmortem studies have revealed microglial activation in the brain of neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, depression and autism. Animal models of neuropsychiatric disorders have revealed the underlying microglial pathologies. In addition, various psychotropic drugs have been suggested to have direct effects on microglia. Until now, the relationship between microglia, neurotransmitters and psychiatric disorders has not been well understood. Therefore, in this review, at first, we summarize recent findings of interaction between microglia and neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, acetylcholine and glutamate. Next, we introduce up-to-date knowledge of the effects of psychotropic drugs such as antipsychotics, antidepressants and antiepileptics on microglial modulation. Finally, we propose the possibility that modulating microglia may be a key target in the treatment of various psychiatric disorders. Further investigations and clinical trials should be conducted to clarify this perspective, using animal in vivo studies and imaging studies with human subjects.

Abstract
The adsorption of group IV atoms (C, Si, Ge, Sn) on the magnetite Fe3O4(100) surface is investigated by density functional theory calculations. All these atoms prefer to bond to the surface oxygen atom which has no tetrahedral Fe(A) neighbor. The spin-up surface states of clean Fe3O4(100) are completely removed and half-metallicity is recovered by C adsorption. The spin-up band gap of the C-adsorbed Fe3O4(100) surface is wider than that of the H-adsorbed one and closer to the value of bulk Fe3O4. For the adsorption of other group IV atoms, the adsorbate-substrate interaction decreases and the adsorbate-adsorbate interaction increases with the increase of atomic number Z. As a consequence, the spin polarization varies from -99.4% (C adsorption) to +44.2% (Sn adsorption) for the electronic states of the adsorbed atom integrated from -0.5 eV to the Fermi level. The ability to tune the surface spin polarization by the choice of adsorbate is of significance for magnetite-based spintronic devices.
