Abstract
Introduction CHARGE syndrome is a rare disorder that causes congenital abnormalities in multiple organs, including secondary hypogonadism. We report, herein, a unique case of CHARGE syndrome with both primary and secondary hypogonadism and discuss the possible causes and pathogenesis in this patient. Case presentation A 15-year-old boy with delayed secondary sexual characteristics and non-palpable testes was referred to our hospital. Physical examination and detection of a chromodomain-helicase-deoxyribonucleic acid-binding protein 7 gene mutation confirmed CHARGE syndrome. Hormone stimulation tests suggested both primary and secondary hypogonadism. Laparoscopic bilateral orchiectomy was performed because of decreased testosterone production and atrophy in both testes. Pathological examination of the testes revealed maturation arrest, germ cell neoplasm in situ, and decreased expression of steroid synthase. Conclusion This appears to be the first report of CHARGE syndrome with both primary and secondary hypogonadism demonstrated in endocrinological and histological examinations.

Abstract
PURPOSE We assessed the stiffness of unilateral undescended testes after orchiopexy, examining its value in tracking histopathological changes and fertility potential during postoperative follow-up. Additionally, we explored the optimal timing for surgery based on testicular stiffness. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-six boys who had been diagnosed with unilateral undescended testis and treated with orchiopexy were included in the study. Testicular stiffness was evaluated several times over respective follow-up periods by ultrasound strain elastography after orchiopexy. The strain ratios were measured as the ratios of the elasticities of the descended testis to those of the operated testes. The patients were divided into two groups based on the age at which they underwent orchiopexy:under < 2 years (Group A) and ≥ 2 years (Group B). RESULTS The mean strain ratios were 0.90 ± 0.32 and 0.92 ± 0.20 in Groups A and B, respectively. In Group A, the strain ratio was constant regardless of postoperative months (r = 0.01, p = 0.99); however, in Group B, it tended to increase with postoperative months (r = 0.42, p = 0.07). CONCLUSIONS Evaluation of testicular stiffness may be useful for the estimation of histopathological changes and fertility potential in boys with unilateral undescended testes at follow-up appointments after orchiopexy. Our data indicate that performing orchiopexy as early as possible may be recommended to avoid testicular damage.

Abstract
Bioglass 45S5, a silica-based glass, has pioneered a new field of biomaterials. Bioglass 45S5 promotes mineralization through calcium ion release and is widely used in the dental field, including toothpaste formulations. However, the use of Bioglass 45S5 for bone grafting is limited owing to the induction of inflammation, as well as reduced degradation and ion release. Phosphate-based glasses exhibit higher solubility and ion release than silica-based glass. Given that these glasses can be synthesized at low temperatures (approximately 1,000°C), they can easily be doped with various metal oxides to confer therapeutic properties. Herein, we fabricated zinc- and fluoride-doped phosphate-based glass (multicomponent phosphate [MP] bioactive glass) and further doped aluminum oxide into the MP glass (4% Al-MP glass) to overcome the striking solubility of phosphate-based glass. Increased amounts of zinc and fluoride ions were detected in water containing the MP glass. Doping of aluminum oxide into the MP glass suppressed the striking dissolution in water, with 4% Al-MP glass exhibiting the highest stability in water. Compared with Bioglass 45S5, 4% Al-MP glass in water had a notably reduced particle size, supporting the abundant ion release of 4% Al-MP glass. Compared with Bioglass 45S5, 4% Al-MP glass enhanced the osteogenesis of mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Mouse macrophages cultured with 4% Al-MP glass displayed enhanced induction of anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages and reduced proinflammatory M1 macrophages, indicating M2 polarization. Upon implanting 4% Al-MP glass or Bioglass 45S5 in a mouse calvarial defect, 4% Al-MP glass promoted significant bone regeneration when compared with Bioglass 45S5. Hence, we successfully fabricated zinc- and fluoride-releasing bioactive glasses with improved osteogenic and anti-inflammatory properties, which could serve as a promising biomaterial for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is the deadliest form of brain tumor. The presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) significantly hinders chemotherapy, necessitating the development of innovative treatment options for this tumor. This report presents the in vitro and in vivo efficacy of an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that targets glypican-1 (GPC1) in glioblastoma. The GPC1-ADC was created by conjugating a humanized anti-GPC1 antibody (clone T2) with monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) via maleimidocaproyl-valine-citrulline-p-aminobenzyloxycarbonyl linkers. Immunohistochemical staining analysis of a glioblastoma tissue microarray revealed that GPC1 expression was elevated in more than half of the cases. GPC1-ADC, when bound to GPC1, was efficiently and rapidly internalized in glioblastoma cell lines. It inhibited the growth of GPC1-positive glioma cell lines by inducing cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and triggering apoptosis in vitro. We established a heterotopic xenograft model by subcutaneously implanting KALS-1 and administered GPC1-ADC intravenously. GPC1-ADC significantly inhibited tumor growth and increased the number of mitotic cells. We also established an orthotopic xenograft model by intracranially implanting luciferase-transfected KS-1-Luc#19. After injecting Evans blue and resecting brain tissues, dye leakage was observed in the implantation area, confirming BBB disruption. We administered GPC1-ADC intravenously and measured the luciferase activity using an in vivo imaging system. GPC1-ADC significantly inhibited tumor growth and extended survival. In conclusion, GPC1-ADC demonstrated potent intracranial activity against GPC1-positive glioblastoma in an orthotopic xenograft model. These results indicate that GPC1-ADC could represent a groundbreaking new therapy for treating glioblastoma beyond the BBB.

Abstract
PURPOSE During the last decade, the incidence of anaerobic bacteremia (AB) has been increasing. Patients with AB may develop complex underlying diseases, which can occasionally be accompanied by fatal or fulminant outcomes. However, the risk factors for AB-related mortality remain unclear. Herein, we sought to elucidate the risk factors for AB-related mortality. METHODS In this multicenter, retrospective, observational study, we enrolled patients with culture-proven AB from six tertiary hospitals in Japan, between January 2012 and December 2021. Data on patient and infection characteristics, laboratory findings, treatment, and outcome were collected, and their associations with mortality were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 520 participants were included. The 30-day mortality in the study cohort was 14.0% (73 patients), and malignant tumors were frequently observed comorbidities in 48% of the entire cohort. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed a Charlson comorbidity score of > 6, serum creatinine level of > 1.17 mg/dL, and hypotension to be independent risk factors for 30-day mortality in AB (odds ratios [ORs] 2.12, 2.25, and 5.12, respectively; p < 0.05), whereas drainage significantly reduced this risk (OR, 0.28; p < 0.0001). Twelve patients (2.3% of the whole cohort and 16.4% of the deceased patients) presented with extremely rapid progression leading to fatal outcome, consistent with "fulminant AB." CONCLUSIONS This study identified acute circulatory dysfunction and performance of drainage as independent predictive factors for 30-day AB-related mortality and revealed the existence of a fulminant AB sub-phenotype. Our findings could serve as a practical guide to predict the clinical outcomes of AB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To elucidate the changes in activated complement pathway in the fibrous process of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), we analyzed the correlation between complement component expression and histological types of fibrosis using human BPH tissue. METHODS Fifty-six histological BPH patients who underwent prostate needle biopsy at our institution (mean age 68.6 ± 6.5 years), divided into two histological groups, fibromuscular and fibrous, were compared. Inflammatory cell infiltration in BPH tissue was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining using CD45, with complement expression analysis performed using C3, factor B, and C5b-9 antibody, and the occupancy ratio of the stained region was calculated. Further, correlation between the histological types of fibrous components in BPH tissue and lower urinary tract symptoms questionnaires was analyzed. RESULTS Twenty-seven (48.2%) and 29 (51.8%) cases were classified in the fibromuscular and fibrous groups, respectively. The proportion of CD45-positive cells in BPH tissue was significantly higher in the fibromuscular group. In complement component analysis, factor B did not significantly differ between groups, while C3 (fibromuscular group; 10.7 ± 8.2%, fibrous group; 16.4 ± 12.7%) and C5b-9 (fibromuscular group; 15.9 ± 6.2%, fibrous group; 17.6 ± 9.2%) were significantly higher in the fibrous group (p = 0.04, p = 0.04, respectively). International Prostate Symptom Score Q5 subscore, indicating slow stream, was significantly higher in the fibrous group (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS In fibrous BPH with abundant fibrosis, the late complement pathway in addition to alternative pathway was activated compared to fibromuscular BPH. These results suggested that the alternative and late complement pathways were involved in the histological fibrous process of BPH.

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

Abstract
We used independent lung ventilation (ILV) during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) after lung abscess surgery in a patient with severe hypoxia and air leak. ILV can be effective in V-V ECMO as unilateral lung air leak.

Impact of primary kidney disease on the effects of empagliflozin in patients with chronic kidney disease: secondary analyses of the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2024; 12:51-60.

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
AIMS To determine the association between drinking habits and social factors among women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment in Japan. METHODS The study participants who provided answers for the questionnaire concerning alcohol consumption were 1017 female patients undergoing ART treatment were enrolled in the Japan-Female Employment and Mental Health in assisted reproductive technology (J-FEMA) study between August and December 2018. Patient characteristics, including demographic, clinical, and socioeconomic status, were assessed using a self-administered questionnaire which was distributed only once during the period, regardless of their first or follow-up examination. We defined current drinkers who drank ≥46 g of ethanol per week as the habitual drinking group. The risk factors for habitual drinking were analyzed using multivariable-adjusted logistic regression. RESULTS The proportion of habitual drinkers was 15.5% in this study population. The multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) for habitual drinking were 2.27 (0.99-5.21) for women aged ≥35 years versus those <35 years, 4.26 (1.98-9.16) for women having partners who currently drink compared to those with partners without current drinking, 1.84 (1.08-3.12) for women without a history of childbirth versus those with, and 1.77 (1.00-3.14) for working women compared with those not working. CONCLUSIONS In our study, habitual drinking among women undergoing ART treatment was significantly associated with older age, no history of childbirth, partner's current drinking status, and working.

Abstract
Interactions between plants and herbivores are central in most ecosystems, but their strength is highly variable. The amount of variability within a system is thought to influence most aspects of plant-herbivore biology, from ecological stability to plant defense evolution. Our understanding of what influences variability, however, is limited by sparse data. We collected standardized surveys of herbivory for 503 plant species at 790 sites across 116° of latitude. With these data, we show that within-population variability in herbivory increases with latitude, decreases with plant size, and is phylogenetically structured. Differences in the magnitude of variability are thus central to how plant-herbivore biology varies across macroscale gradients. We argue that increased focus on interaction variability will advance understanding of patterns of life on Earth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with bilateral primary aldosteronism (PA) generally are treated with antihypertensive drugs, but optimal treatment for patients with complications due to refractory hypertension has not been established. In this report, we present a case with bilateral PA who presented with persistent hypertension, despite treatment with 6 drugs, and left-dominant heart failure, which was improved after unilateral adrenalectomy. CASE PRESENTATION A 61-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of severe left-dominant heart failure. His heart rhythm was atrial fibrillation and the left ventricle was diffusely hypertrophic and hypokinetic. Coronary arteries were normal on coronary arteriogram. Primary aldosteronism was suspected based on severe hypokalemia (2.5 mEq/L) and plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC; 1,410 pg/mL). Although computed tomography (CT) showed a single left cortical nodule, adrenal vein sampling (AVS) indicated bilateral PA. Early in the case, heart failure and hyperkalemia in this patient were improved by treatment with a combination of 6 antihypertensive drugs (spironolactone 25 mg/day, eplerenone 100 mg/day, azosemide 60 mg/day, tolvaptan 7.5 mg/day, enalapril 5 mg/day, and bisoprolol fumarate 10 mg/day); however, heart failure relapsed after four months of treatment. We hypothesized that hypertension caused by excess aldosterone was inducing the patient's heart failure. In order to reduce aldosterone secretory tissue, a laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed for the left adrenal gland, given the higher level of aldosterone from the left gland compared to the right. Following surgery, the patient's heart failure was successfully controlled despite the persistence of high PAC. Treatment with anti-hypertensive medications was reduced to two drugs (eplerenone 100 mg/day and bisoprolol fumarate 10 mg/day). In order to elucidate the mechanism of drug resistance, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays were performed to assess the expression of steroidogenic factor 1 (SF-1), a regulator of steroid synthesis in adrenal tissue. IHC and RT-PCR demonstrated that the expression of SF-1 in this patient (at both the protein and mRNA levels) was higher than that observed in unilateral PA cases that showed good responsivity to drug treatment. CONCLUSIONS Unilateral adrenalectomy to reduce aldosterone secretory tissue may be useful for patients with drug-refractory, bilateral PA. Elevated expression of SF-1 may be involved in drug resistance in PA.

Abstract
We present the first comprehensive tests of the universality of the light leptons in the angular distributions of semileptonic B^{0}-meson decays to charged spin-1 charmed mesons. We measure five angular-asymmetry observables as functions of the decay recoil that are sensitive to lepton-universality-violating contributions. We use events where one neutral B is fully reconstructed in ϒ(4S)→BB[over ¯] decays in data corresponding to 189 fb^{-1} integrated luminosity from electron-positron collisions collected with the Belle II detector. We find no significant deviation from the standard model expectations.

Abstract
Introduction We report a case of bilateral neonatal testicular torsion, with an extravaginal and a contralateral intravaginal testicular torsion. Case presentation A 5-day-old boy with bilateral scrotal swelling and palpable induration was diagnosed with bilateral neonatal testicular torsion by color Doppler ultrasonography. The right testis was black with 360-degree extravaginal torsion of the spermatic cord, and the left testis was brown with 90-degree intravaginal torsion. We repaired the torsion and incised the tunica albuginea to reduce intratesticular pressure. The left testis became pink in color, but the right testis remained unchanged. Based on the pathological findings of the intraoperative biopsy of tissue specimens from both testes, we performed a right orchiectomy and preserved the left testis. Conclusions Our experience suggests that testicular color improvement after fasciotomy and pathological findings of intraoperative testicular biopsy may indicate testicular preservation.

Abstract
An isolated intravesical cavernous hemangioma of the bladder represents a rare occurrence, frequently posing challenges in distinguishing it from rhabdomyosarcoma. In this context, we present a case involving an 8-year-old male child diagnosed with a cavernous hemangioma of the bladder, which on MRI closely resembles the findings of rhabdomyosarcoma. Under such circumstances, the utilization of slow-flow images in contrast-enhanced MRI holds promise as a potentially valuable tool for discriminating between cavernous hemangioma and rhabdomyosarcoma in similar clinical scenarios.

Abstract
We measure the lifetime of the D_{s}^{+} meson using a data sample of 207 fb^{-1} collected by the Belle II experiment running at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy e^{+}e^{-} collider. The lifetime is determined by fitting the decay-time distribution of a sample of 116×10^{3} D_{s}^{+}→ϕπ^{+} decays. Our result is τ_{D_{s}^{+}}=(499.5±1.7±0.9) fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. This result is significantly more precise than previous measurements.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation between total protein expression of heart development protein with EGF-like domain 1 (HEG1) and clinicopathological characteristics in patients with bladder cancer (BC) after radical cystectomy (RC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from 110 patients who underwent RC at Kitasato University Hospital. And we prepared an anti-HEG1 monoclonal antibody W10B9, which can detect total HEG1 protein. HEG1 protein expression in tumor cells was evaluated separately for membrane and cytoplasmic staining using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Membranous HEG1 expression was associated with absent lymphovascular invasion (p < 0.01) and low pT stage (p < 0.01). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the membranous HEG1-positive group had significantly long recurrence-free survival (RFS) (p < 0.01) and cancer-specific survival (p = 0.01). Expression of membranous HEG1 was identified as an independent prognostic factor for RFS (p = 0.04). There were no significant differences between cytoplasmic HEG1 expression and clinicopathologic factors including prognosis. CONCLUSION The expression of membranous HEG1 could serve as a favorable prognostic indicator in patients with BC treated with RC.

Abstract
S100 calcium binding protein A16 (S100A16) is expressed in various cancers; however, there are few reports on S100A16 in bladder cancer (BC). We retrospectively investigated clinical data including clinicopathological features in 121 patients with BC who underwent radical cystectomy (RC). Immunohistochemical staining was performed to evaluate S100A16 expression in archived specimens. Cases with >5% expression and more than moderate staining intensity on cancer cells were considered positive. S100A16 expression was observed in 54 patients (44.6%). Univariate analysis showed that S100A16 expression was significantly associated with age, pT stage, recurrence, and cancer-specific death. Kaplan-Meier analyses showed that patients with S100A16 expression had shorter overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) than those without S100A16 expression. In multivariate analysis, pT stage was an independent prognostic factor for OS and lymph node metastasis for CSS and RFS. S100A16 expression may be a biomarker of a biologically aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis in patients with BC who underwent RC. The PI3k/Akt signaling pathway is probably associated with S100A16 and may be a therapeutic target.

Abstract
We report the first search for a nonstandard-model resonance decaying into τ pairs in e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}τ^{+}τ^{-} events in the 3.6-10 GeV/c^{2} mass range. We use a 62.8 fb^{-1} sample of e^{+}e^{-} collisions collected at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB collider. The analysis probes three different models predicting a spin-1 particle coupling only to the heavier lepton families, a Higgs-like spin-0 particle that couples preferentially to charged leptons (leptophilic scalar), and an axionlike particle, respectively. We observe no evidence for a signal and set exclusion limits at 90% confidence level on the product of cross section and branching fraction into τ pairs, ranging from 0.7 to 24 fb, and on the couplings of these processes. We obtain world-leading constraints on the couplings for the leptophilic scalar model for masses above 6.5 GeV/c^{2} and for the axionlike particle model over the entire mass range.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the influences of hemodialysis (HD) on activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with hip fracture. Methods This study included 28 patients (14 HD and 14 non-HD patients) with acute hip fracture. The effects of variables such as age, sex, surgical procedure, length of hospital stay, serum albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), number of physical therapy units, and functional independence measure (FIM) were assessed. For each factor, a two-group comparison was conducted between the HD and non-HD groups. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the factors affecting FIM efficacy (E-FIM). Results For HD patients, total and motor FIM at discharge, E-FIM, and albumin level were significantly lower than in non-HD patients. Length of hospital stay was significantly longer for HD patients. Multiple regression analysis showed that HD had a negative effect on E-FIM. Conclusions The results suggest that rehabilitation for HD patients with hip fractures require intervention that not only provides standard rehabilitation but also addresses aspects of renal rehabilitation.

Abstract
We report a measurement of the CP-violating parameters C and S in B^{0}→K_{S}^{0}π^{0} decays at Belle II using a sample of 387×10^{6} BB[over ¯] events recorded in e^{+}e^{-} collisions at a center-of-mass energy corresponding to the ϒ(4S) resonance. These parameters are determined by fitting the proper decay-time distribution of a sample of 415 signal events. We obtain C=-0.04_{-0.15}^{+0.14}±0.05 and S=0.75_{-0.23}^{+0.20}±0.04, where the first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Optimal management of type 1 gastric neuroendocrine tumors (T1-GNETs) remains unknown, with few reports on their long-term prognosis. This study investigated the clinical characteristics and long-term prognosis of T1-GNETs. METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients diagnosed with T1-GNET during 1991-2019 at 40 institutions in Japan. RESULTS Among 172 patients, endoscopic resection (ER), endoscopic surveillance, and surgery were performed in 84, 61, and 27, respectively, including 27, 77, and 2 patients with pT1a-M, pT1b-SM, and pT2 tumors, respectively. The median tumor diameter was 5 (range 0.8-55) mm. Four (2.9%) patients had lymph node metastasis (LNM); none had liver metastasis. LNM rates were significantly higher in tumors with lymphovascular invasion (LVI) (15.8%; 3/19) than in those without (1.1%; 1/92) (P = 0.016). For tumors <10 mm, LVI and LNM rates were 18.4% (14/76) and 2.2% (2/90), respectively, which were not significantly different from those of tumors 10-20 mm (LVI 13.3%; 2/15, P = 0.211; and LNM 0%; 0/17, P = 1.0). However, these rates were significantly lower than those of tumors >20 mm (LVI 60%; 3/5, P = 0.021; and LNM 40%; 2/5, P = 0.039). No tumor recurrence or cause-specific death occurred during the median follow-up of 10.1 (1-25) years. The 10-year overall survival rate was 97%. CONCLUSIONS Type 1 gastric neuroendocrine tumors showed indolent nature and favorable long-term prognoses. LVI could be useful in indicating the need for additional treatments. ER for risk prediction of LNM should be considered for tumors <10 mm and may be feasible for tumors 10-20 mm. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study protocol was registered in the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) under the identifier UMIN000029927.

Abstract
The present study investigated the role of a urethral support system to maintain urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a focus on pelvic floor muscles, such as the puboperinealis muscle (PPM) and rectourethralis muscle (RUM). Finally, 323 patients who underwent RARP were analyzed in this study. All patients performed a one-hour pad test 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after RARP to assess urinary incontinence and MRI before and 9 months after RARP to evaluate the pelvic anatomical structure. The preoperative cross-sectional area of PPM (2.21 ± 0.69 cm2) was significantly reduced by 19% after RARP (1.79 ± 0.60 cm2; p < 0.01). Positive correlations were observed between the amount of urinary leakage according to the 1-h pad test 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after RARP and the change in the cross-sectional area of PPM by RARP (p < 0.01, < 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.001, and < 0.001, respectively). A positive correlation was also noted between the amount of urinary leakage 6 and 12 months after RARP and the preoperative RUM diameter (p < 0.05). The amount of urinary leakage 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after RARP negatively correlated with the change in the antero-posterior diameter of the membranous urethra (MU diameter) from the static to dynamic phases during the Valsalva maneuver by cine MRI. Furthermore, the change in the MU diameter negatively correlated with the change in the cross-sectional area of PPM (p < 0.05). PPM and RUM play significant roles as a supportive mechanism to maintain urinary continence by functioning as a urethral support.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of the ratio of branching fractions of inclusive semileptonic B-meson decays, R(X_{e/μ})=B(B→Xeν)/B(B→Xμν), a precision test of electron-muon universality, using data corresponding to 189 fb^{-1} from electron-positron collisions collected with the Belle II detector. In events where the partner B meson is fully reconstructed, we use fits to the lepton momentum spectra above 1.3 GeV/c to obtain R(X_{e/μ})=1.007±0.009(stat)±0.019(syst), which is the most precise lepton-universality test of its kind and agrees with the standard-model expectation.

Abstract
Theranostics (therapy + diagnosis) targeting prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is an emerging therapeutic modality that could alter treatment strategies for prostate cancer. Although PSMA-targeted radioligand therapy (PSMA-RLT) has a highly therapeutic effect on PSMA-positive tumor tissue, the efficacy of PSMA-RLT depends on PSMA expression. Moreover, predictors of treatment response other than PSMA expression are under investigation. Therefore, the optimal patient population for PSMA-RLT remains unclear. This review provides an overview of the current status of theranostics for prostate cancer, focusing on PSMA ligands. In addition, we summarize various findings regarding the efficacy and problems of PSMA-RLT and discuss the optimal patient for PSMA-RLT.

Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a chronic proliferative disease showing stromal-dominant proliferation. However, the detailed proliferation mechanism has remained unclear. Although aging and androgen have been reported as definitive risk factors for BPH, recent studies have focused on the involvement of androgen-independent factors. Androgen-independent factors include ischemia, oxidative stress, metabolic syndrome, infection, autoimmune reactions, and inflammation, with inflammation in BPH tissues playing a central role in the BPH proliferative process. Inflammation in BPH tissues by various factors finally leads to tissue remodeling and stromal proliferation through the wound healing process of the prostate. To elucidate the proliferative mechanism of BPH, a study using whole-genome gene expression analysis in a stromal-dominant BPH rat model was performed and showed that immune response-related pathways and complement classical pathways are activated. Furthermore, expression analysis using this BPH rat model showed that the autoimmune reaction triggered complement pathway activation in the proliferative process of BPH. BPH is a multifactorial disease, and understanding the role of androgen-independent factors including immune responses contributes to elucidating the pathogenesis of BPH. Androgen-independent factors may lead to new therapeutic targets for BPH, and further development of this research is expected.

Abstract
Introduction Basal cell carcinoma of the prostate is rare, with no established treatment for its recurrence or metastasis. We report a case involving basal cell carcinoma of the prostate controlled using radiotherapy. Case presentation A 57-year-old man complained of perineal pain. Although his prostate-specific antigen was 0.657 ng/mL, a digital rectal examination revealed his prostate was stone hard. Prostate needle biopsy showed basal cell carcinoma of the prostate. The patient then underwent radical prostatectomy. Local recurrence and sacral bone metastasis appeared 2 months after surgery. OncoGuide™ NCC Oncopanel System showed deletion of SMARCB1; however no recommended treatment was identified. Thus, we decided to perform radiotherapy, which reduced all lesions. Conclusion Basal cell carcinoma of the prostate may have a poor prognosis with recurrence or metastasis, hence evaluation of prognostic factors is important. In this case, the genomic profiling test suggested that SMARCB1 deletion may be a prognostic factor associated with disease progression.

Abstract
The use of deep learning (DL) in medical imaging is becoming increasingly widespread. Although DL has been used previously for the segmentation of facial bones in computed tomography (CT) images, there are few reports of segmentation involving multiple areas. In this study, a U-Net was used to investigate the automatic segmentation of facial bones into eight areas, with the aim of facilitating virtual surgical planning (VSP) and computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) in maxillofacial surgery. CT data from 50 patients were prepared and used for training, and five-fold cross-validation was performed. The output results generated by the DL model were validated by Dice coefficient and average symmetric surface distance (ASSD). The automatic segmentation was successful in all cases, with a mean± standard deviation Dice coefficient of 0.897 ± 0.077 and ASSD of 1.168 ± 1.962 mm. The accuracy was very high for the mandible (Dice coefficient 0.984, ASSD 0.324 mm) and zygomatic bones (Dice coefficient 0.931, ASSD 0.487 mm), and these could be introduced for VSP and CAD/CAM without any modification. The results for other areas, particularly the teeth, were slightly inferior, with possible reasons being the effects of defects, bonded maxillary and mandibular teeth, and metal artefacts. A limitation of this study is that the data were from a single institution. Hence further research is required to improve the accuracy for some facial areas and to validate the results in larger and more diverse populations.

Abstract
The L_{μ}-L_{τ} extension of the standard model predicts the existence of a lepton-flavor-universality-violating Z^{'} boson that couples only to the heavier lepton families. We search for such a Z^{'} through its invisible decay in the process e^{+}e^{-}→μ^{+}μ^{-}Z^{'}. We use a sample of electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019-2020, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 79.7 fb^{-1}. We find no excess over the expected standard-model background. We set 90%-confidence-level upper limits on the cross section for this process as well as on the coupling of the model, which ranges from 3×10^{-3} at low Z^{'} masses to 1 at Z^{'} masses of 8 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
We search for lepton-flavor-violating τ^{-}→e^{-}α and τ^{-}→μ^{-}α decays, where α is an invisible spin-0 boson. The search uses electron-positron collisions at 10.58 GeV center-of-mass energy with an integrated luminosity of 62.8 fb^{-1}, produced by the SuperKEKB collider and collected with the Belle II detector. We search for an excess in the lepton-energy spectrum of the known τ^{-}→e^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e}ν_{τ} and τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ} decays. We report 95% confidence-level upper limits on the branching-fraction ratio B(τ^{-}→e^{-}α)/B(τ^{-}→e^{-}ν[over ¯]_{e}ν_{τ}) in the range (1.1-9.7)×10^{-3} and on B(τ^{-}→μ^{-}α)/B(τ^{-}→μ^{-}ν[over ¯]_{μ}ν_{τ}) in the range (0.7-12.2)×10^{-3} for α masses between 0 and 1.6 GeV/c^{2}. These results provide the most stringent bounds on invisible boson production from τ decays.

Abstract
Recently, the employment rate of women in Japan has steadily increased. Approximately 80% of women experience menstrual pain and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). These symptoms decrease a woman's quality of life and her work productivity, leading to an economic loss. This cross-sectional study of 321 healthy Japanese women aged 20-39 years aimed to clarify the lifestyle-related factors or nutrient intake that might cause menstrual pain. The participants underwent body composition measurements and completed meal survey sheets and lifestyle questionnaires, including menstrual status, exercise, sleep and breakfast consumption. Based on the questionnaire results, participants were divided into two groups according to the severity of menstrual pain, namely, heavy and light. Chi-square and Wilcoxon signed-rank sum tests were used to compare the severity of menstrual pain in the two groups. In the heavy group, the intake of animal proteins, including fish, vitamin D and vitamin B12, was significantly lower (p < 0.05), as was the frequency of breakfast consumption and bathing (p < 0.05). The rate of PMS symptoms was significantly higher in the heavy group (p < 0.05). This study suggests that a lack of animal protein, the accompanying vitamins and fatty acids, and the frequency of breakfast or bathing are associated with the severity of menstrual pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepcidin is an antimicrobial peptide and a key hormone involved in iron homeostasis. Hepcidin level is elevated in the serum during the course of Helicobacter pylori infection and hepcidin is considered to contribute to iron deficiency anemia. However, it is unclear whether H. pylori infection influences hepcidin expression in the gastric mucosa. METHOD In this study, 15 patients with H. pylori-infected nodular gastritis, 43 patients with H. pylori-infected chronic gastritis, and 33 patients without H. pylori infection were enrolled. Endoscopic biopsy, and histological and immunohistochemical analysis were performed to evaluate the expression of hepcidin and its distribution in the gastric mucosa. RESULT Hepcidin was strongly expressed in the lymph follicles of patients with nodular gastritis. The detection rates of gastric hepcidin-positive lymphocytes in patients with nodular gastritis and chronic gastritis were significantly higher than that without H. pylori infection. Moreover, regardless of the H. pylori infection status, hepcidin was expressed in the cytoplasm and intracellular canaliculi of gastric parietal cells. CONCLUSION Hepcidin is expressed at a steady state in gastric parietal cells, and H. pylori infection may induce hepcidin expression in lymphocytes present in the gastric mucosal lymphoid follicles. This phenomenon may be associated with systemic hepcidin overexpression and iron deficiency anemia in patients with H. pylori-infected nodular gastritis.

Abstract
The selective and sensitive sensing of neurochemicals is essential to decipher in-brain chemistry underlying brain pathophysiology. The recent development of flexible and multifunctional polymer-based fibers has been shown useful in recording and modulating neural activities, primarily electrical ones. In this study, we were able to realize fiber-based neurochemical sensing with high sensitivity and selectivity. We achieved a generalizable method to couple aptamers, a type of synthetic receptors on the carbon composites within fibers, as microsensors for highly selective neurochemical detection. Such an aptamer-coupled microelectrode fiber sensor (apta-μFS) enables simple, label-free, and sensitive dopamine (DA) detection down to 5 nM with ultrahigh specificity across major interferents. We succeeded in monitoring DA selectively within the living brain using our apta-μFS. We further showed the proof-of-concept of using microelectronic fiber-based toolsets to target neural pathways across electrical and chemical modalities. In summary, such fiber-based toolsets hold great potential to advance multimodal mechanistic understanding of brain pathophysiology.

Abstract
We developed a method for the preparation of PLGA particles exhibiting long-term sustained-release of entrapped drugs. The fine droplet drying (FDD) technology using a new injection system based on ink-jet injection technology was adapted as the preparation method. PLGA microspheres containing TRITC-dextran, acetaminophen, and albumin as model drugs were prepared by the FDD technology. The resultant microspheres were uniform in size, with average particle sizes ranging from 16.3 to 33.0 μm and SPAN factors ranging from 0.49 to 0.77. The encapsulation efficiency of drugs showed high values ranging from 75 to 99 wt% of the total amount of water-soluble drug contained in the particles. In an investigation of the optimal operation conditions of the FDD technology, the dew point temperature of the dryer air stream was found to be an important factor for controlling the initial burst of the prepared particles. The TRITC-dextran-containing PLGA microspheres were confirmed to exhibit long-term sustained release for about 90 days, and the mechanism was found to be PLGA degradation rate-limiting. Based on these results, we concluded that long-term sustained-released PLGA particles can be prepared by using FDD technology under a suitable drying condition for controlling the initial burst.

Abstract
We study the processes e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{bJ}(1P) (J=0, 1, or 2) using samples at center-of-mass energies sqrt[s]=10.701, 10.745, and 10.805 GeV, corresponding to 1.6, 9.8, and 4.7 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity, respectively. These data were collected with the Belle II detector during special operations of the SuperKEKB collider above the ϒ(4S) resonance. We report the first observation of ωχ_{bJ}(1P) signals at sqrt[s]=10.745 GeV. By combining Belle II data with Belle results at sqrt[s]=10.867 GeV, we find energy dependencies of the Born cross sections for e^{+}e^{-}→ωχ_{b1,b2}(1P) to be consistent with the shape of the ϒ(10753) state. These data indicate that the internal structures of the ϒ(10753) and ϒ(10860) states may differ. Including data at sqrt[s]=10.653 GeV, we also search for the bottomonium equivalent of the X(3872) state decaying into ωϒ(1S). No significant signal is observed for masses between 10.45 and 10.65 GeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
Imaging findings of diffuse hemispheric glioma H3 G34-mutant (DHG, H3 G34m), a new variant of glioma under the World Health Organization classification, have recently been vigorously debated. Here, we report a case of DHG, H3 G34m in which objective assessments of intratumoral microvessels using arterial spin labeling (ASL) were useful for preoperative diagnosis, selection of anti-tumor drugs, and tracking therapeutic responses. The patient was a 34-year-old woman who presented with weakness in the left arm. Preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed no specific findings of hyperintensity on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging and faint enhancement on T1-weighted imaging with contrast media in the tumor. However, ASL showed a convincing finding of high blood flow in the entire tumor, allowing identification of the tumor as malignant glioma. Tumor specimens obtained from biopsy showed that the tumor comprised low-differentiated tumor cells, abundant histiocytes, and highly dense microvessels. Immunohistochemical findings such as positive findings for H3 G34R and p53, and negative findings for IDH-1, ATRX, and OLIG2 led to the diagnosis of DHG, H3 G34m. Based on findings of hyperperfusion on ASL and detection of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), we administered the anti-VEGF antibody bevacizumab. The tumor shrank significantly but remained. However, the residual tumor showed hypoperfusion on ASL, strongly suggesting tumor remission. Objective assessments of blood flow using ASL are useful in clinical practice for patients with DHG, H3 G34 showing non-specific findings on conventional MRI.

Abstract
An absolute measurement of the Λ_{c}^{+} lifetime is reported using Λ_{c}^{+}→pK^{-}π^{+} decays in events reconstructed from data collected by the Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric-energy electron-positron collider. The total integrated luminosity of the data sample, which was collected at center-of-mass energies at or near the ϒ(4S) resonance, is 207.2 fb^{-1}. The result, τ(Λ_{c}^{+})=203.20±0.89±0.77 fs, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic, is the most precise measurement to date and is consistent with previous determinations.

Abstract
The dark photon A^{'} and the dark Higgs boson h^{'} are hypothetical particles predicted in many dark sector models. We search for the simultaneous production of A^{'} and h^{'} in the dark Higgsstrahlung process e^{+}e^{-}→A^{'}h^{'} with A^{'}→μ^{+}μ^{-} and h^{'} invisible in electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV in data collected by the Belle II experiment in 2019. With an integrated luminosity of 8.34 fb^{-1}, we observe no evidence for signal. We obtain exclusion limits at 90% Bayesian credibility in the range of 1.7-5.0 fb on the cross section and in the range of 1.7×10^{-8}-200×10^{-8} on the effective coupling ϵ^{2}×α_{D} for the A^{'} mass in the range of 4.0 GeV/c^{2}<M_{A^{'}}<9.7 GeV/c^{2} and for the h^{'} mass M_{h^{'}}<M_{A^{'}}, where ϵ is the mixing strength between the standard model and the dark photon and α_{D} is the coupling of the dark photon to the dark Higgs boson. Our limits are the first in this mass range.

Abstract
Wearable bioelectronics are gaining extraordinary attention due to their capabilities to achieve continuous monitoring of human health status. However, mainstream manufacturing technologies, including photolithography and printing technology, limit current wearable bioelectronics on 2D planar structures with little surface area in contact with the body. It thus limits the amount of physiological information that current wearable bioelectronics could obtain. Furthermore, they need to be firmly attached to the body, affecting the wearing comfort. In this study, we leveraged the versatile thermal drawing process and developed a flexible microelectronic fiber with bioanalytical functions that could be woven into textiles as a new form of wearable bioelectronics. Within a single strand of fiber, we successfully integrated all-in-one multiplexed electrochemical sensing capabilities, with the sweat as the primary object. Adopting the laser micromachining technique, we developed biosensing functions on the longitudinal surface of the fiber with two sensing electrodes for Na+ and uric acid (UA), respectively, together with a pseudo reference electrode (p-RE). We carefully characterized the all-in-one multiplexed sensing performance of the fiber and demonstrated its successful application in sweat sensing based on its textile forms. The results show significant potential for application in wearable textiles for monitoring key health signals of humans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term placement of prophylactic drains may result in retrograde infections. AIM To investigate the association between the timing of drain removal and clinical outcomes. METHODS This retrospective, single-centre cohort study evaluated 110 patients who underwent elective gastrointestinal or hepatopancreatobiliary surgery and developed subsequent organ/space surgical site infection (SSI) between 2016 and 2020. The difference between the culture-positive species of prophylactic drains and direct aspiration was evaluated; whether the prophylactic drains functioned effectively at the time of SSI diagnosis; and whether the empirical antibiotics administered before drainage were effective against all the detected bacteria. Finally, clinical outcomes were compared between early (i.e. cases wherein the prophylactic drain had already been removed or replaced at the time of SSI diagnosis) and late (removal after diagnosis) drain removal. FINDINGS The prophylactic drains functioned effectively in only 27 (25%) patients at the time of SSI diagnosis. Due to the results of direct aspiration cultures, 43% of patients required antibiotic escalation. The median time to drain removal or first replacement was seven postoperative days. The early removal group included 43 patients (39%). Compared with early removal, late removal resulted in a higher frequency of vancomycin use (7.0% vs 22.4%; P = 0.037). CONCLUSION Prolonged prophylactic drain placement is associated with complicated infections requiring vancomycin; therefore, the drains should be removed as soon as possible. Additionally, obtaining the cultures of direct aspiration should be actively considered, as escalation of antimicrobial therapy is often performed based on culture results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Few prospective cohort studies have evaluated the relationship between dairy product intake frequency and risk of osteoporotic fractures in Asians. This study aimed to investigate the association between habitual dairy product intake and risk of osteoporotic fractures. DESIGN Secondary analysis of prospective cohort study. SETTING Five municipalities of Japan. PARTICIPANTS This study included 1,429 postmenopausal Japanese women (age ≥45 years at baseline). MEASUREMENTS Baseline milk-intake frequency was obtained using nurse-administered questionnaires. Intakes of yogurt and cheese, and estimated calcium intake, were assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire. Osteoporotic fracture was defined as a clinical fracture diagnosed using radiography. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS Over a median follow-up period of 15.1 years (interquartile range [IQR], 10.1-15.4 years; total, 18,118 person-years), 172 women sustained at least one osteoporotic fracture. The proportions of participants with milk intakes <1, 1, and ≥2 cups/d were 34.4%, 48.0%, and 17.6%, respectively. After adjustment for age, frequency of yogurt intake, frequency of cheese intake, body mass index, history of osteoporotic fractures, and frequency of natto intake, the HRs compared with that for milk intake <1 cup/d were 0.71 (95% CI: 0.51-0.98) and 0.57 (95% CI: 0.35-0.92) for 1 cup/d and ≥2 cups/d, respectively. After adjustment for bone mineral density, HR significance for milk intakes ≥2 cups/d remained significant. Yogurt and cheese intakes were not related to the risk of osteoporotic fractures. CONCLUSION High habitual milk intake, but not a habitual yogurt or cheese intake is associated with a decreased risk of osteoporotic fractures, independent of bone mineral density, in postmenopausal Japanese women.

Abstract
Objective Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has been used to treat pancreatolithiasis in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP), but the high recurrence rate remains challenging. We therefore evaluated the association between body composition parameters and the prediction of retreatment after ESWL. Methods This study retrospectively evaluated 42 patients with CP who had been treated with ESWL between 2008 and 2019 in a single center. Body composition parameters were measured on pretreatment computed tomography images. Patients who underwent repeat ESWL were classified as the retreatment group. Results There were 13 (31.0%) and 29 (69.0%) patients in the retreatment and non-retreatment groups, respectively. The visceral-to-subcutaneous adipose tissue area ratio (VSR) of the retreatment group was significantly lower than that of the non-retreatment group (p=0.016). When divided by the median VSR, 10 of the 20 patients with a VSR of <0.85 underwent retreatment, whereas 3 of the 22 patients with a VSR of ≥0.85 underwent retreatment (p=0.019). According to a multivariate analysis, the VSR (p=0.010) and age (p=0.037) were independent factors associated with retreatment after ESWL. Conclusion This study showed that the VSR can predict the retreatment of patients with CP after ESWL.

Methods
Subjects were 17 patients who met the entry criteria, and were administered with BEV (10 mg/kg) one time before surgery. Between phases before and after BEV administration, we compared KPS and volumes of hyperintense areas on FLAIR and enhanced areas on T1-weighted imaging with contrast media (Gd-T1WI). Tumor resection was carried out at least three weeks after BEV. Also between phases immediately before and after operation, volumes of hyperintense areas on FLAIR and enhanced areas on Gd-T1WI (= tumor removal rate) were compared. These were compared with those in the control group of patients who received tumor resection without BEV.
Results
One-shot BEV led to significant improvement of KPS and significant volume reductions of hyperintense areas on FLAIR (43.8±26.3%) and enhanced areas on Gd-T1WI (34.6±18.2%). No patients showed any adverse effects around surgery. On MRI after surgery, volume-reduction rates of hyperintense areas on FLAIR and enhanced areas on Gd-T1WI were 44.7±24.7% and 96.2±5.4%, respectively. Compared with control group, a significant difference was identified in the reduction rate of hyperintense areas, but not in that of enhanced areas.
Conclusions
One-shot administration with BEV reduced both volumes of hyperintense areas on FLAIR and enhanced areas on Gd-T1WI, thereby improved KPS before surgery. Preoperative BEV was safe for tumor resections but did not affect to tumor removal rate. We speculated a significant volume reduction of hyperintense areas on FLAIR might have been led by continuous effect from BEV rather than an increase of resected volume.

Abstract
Regarding extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support against hemorrhagic conditions, there seems to be a dilemma when deciding between maintaining the circuit patency by systemic anticoagulation and increasing the risk of bleeding. We herein report two cases of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) caused by myeloperoxidase (MPO) anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) successfully treated with venovenous (VV)-ECMO support, both initially started without systemic anticoagulation. Under anticoagulation-free ECMO management, we should consider the shortcomings of frequent circuit exchange and hemorrhagic diathesis related to circuit-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a clinical algorithm for classifying acute lumbar spondylolysis from nonspecific low back pain in elementary school-aged patients using the classification and regression tree analysis. METHODS Medical records of 73 school-aged patients diagnosed with acute lumbar spondylolysis or nonspecific low back pain were retrospectively reviewed. Fifty-eight patients were examined for establishing an algorithm and 15 were employed for testing its performance. The following data were retrieved: age, gender, school grades, days after symptom onset, history of low back pain, days of past low back pain, height, weight, body mass index, passive straight leg raise test results, hours per week spent on sports activities, existence of spina bifida, lumbar lordosis angle, and lumbosacral joint angle. Classification and regression tree analyses were performed 150 times using the bootstrap and aggregating method. Then, the results were integrated by majority vote, establishing an algorithm. RESULTS Lumbar lordosis angle, days after symptom onset, body mass index, and lumbosacral joint angle were the predictors for classifying those injuries. CONCLUSION The algorithm can be used to identify elementary school-aged children with low back pain requiring advanced imaging investigation, although a future study with a larger sample population is necessary for validating the algorithm.
