Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to examine the potential benefit of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors for patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) using a real-world database. METHODS We analyzed individuals with MAFLD and DM newly initiated on SGLT2 or dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitors from a large-scale administrative claims database. The primary outcome was the change in the fatty liver index (FLI) assessed using a linear mixed-effects model from the initiation of SGLT2 or DPP4 inhibitors. A propensity score-matching algorithm was used to compare the change in FLI among SGLT2 and DPP4 inhibitors. RESULTS After propensity score matching, 6547 well-balanced pairs of SGLT2 and 6547 DPP4 inhibitor users were created. SGLT2 inhibitor use was associated with a greater decline in FLI than DPP4 inhibitor use (difference at 1-year measurement, - 3.8 [95% CI - 4.7 to - 3.0]). The advantage of SGLT2 inhibitor use over DPP4 inhibitor use for improvement in FLI was consistent across subgroups. The relationship between SGLT2 inhibitors and amelioration of FLI was comparable between individual SGLT2 inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS Our analysis using large-scale real-world data demonstrated the potential advantage of SGLT2 inhibitors over DPP4 inhibitors in patients with MAFLD and DM.

Abstract
Many insects undergo the process of metamorphosis when larval precursor cells begin to differentiate to create the adult body. The larval precursor cells retain stem cell-like properties and contribute to the regenerative ability of larval appendages. Here we demonstrate that two Broad-complex/Tramtrack/Bric-à-brac Zinc-finger (BTB) domain transcription factors, Chronologically inappropriate morphogenesis (Chinmo) and Abrupt (Ab), act cooperatively to repress metamorphosis in the flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum. Knockdown of chinmo led to precocious development of pupal legs and antennae. We show that although topical application of juvenile hormone (JH) prevents the decrease in chinmo expression in the final instar, chinmo and JH act in distinct pathways. Another gene encoding the BTB domain transcription factor, Ab, was also necessary for the suppression of broad (br) expression in T. castaneum in a chinmo RNAi background, and simultaneous knockdown of ab and chinmo led to the precocious onset of metamorphosis. Furthermore, knockdown of ab led to the loss of regenerative potential of larval legs independently of br. In contrast, chinmo knockdown larvae exhibited pupal leg regeneration when a larval leg was ablated. Taken together, our results show that both ab and chinmo are necessary for the maintenance of the larval tissue identity and, apart from its role in repressing br, ab acts as a crucial regulator of larval leg regeneration. Our findings indicate that BTB domain proteins interact in a complex manner to regulate larval and pupal tissue homeostasis.

Abstract
Recent discoveries related to the habitability and astrobiological relevance of the outer Solar System have expanded our understanding of where and how life may have originated. As a result, the Icy Worlds of the outer Solar System have become among the highest priority targets for future spacecraft missions dedicated to astrobiology-focused and/or direct life detection objectives. This, in turn, has led to a renewed interest in planetary protection concerns and policies for the exploration of these worlds and has been a topic of discussion within the COSPAR (Committee on Space Research) Panel on Planetary Protection. This paper summarizes the results of those discussions, reviewing the current knowledge and the history of planetary protection considerations for Icy Worlds as well as suggesting ways forward. Based on those discussions, we therefore suggest to (1) Establish a new definition for Icy Worlds for Planetary Protection that captures the outer Solar System moons and dwarf planets like Pluto, but excludes more primitive bodies such as comets, centaurs, and asteroids: Icy Worlds in our Solar System are defined as all bodies with an outermost layer that is believed to be greater than 50 % water ice by volume and have enough mass to assume a nearly round shape. (2) Establish indices for the lower limits of Earth life with regards to water activity (LLAw) and temperature (LLT) and apply them into all areas of the COSPAR Planetary Protection Policy. These values are currently set at 0.5 and -28 °C and were originally established for defining Mars Special Regions; (3) Establish LLT as a parameter to assign categorization for Icy Worlds missions. The suggested categorization will have a 1000-year period of biological exploration, to be applied to all Icy Worlds and not just Europa and Enceladus as is currently the case. (4) Have all missions consider the possibility of impact. Transient thermal anomalies caused by impact would be acceptable so long as there is less than 10-4 probability of a single microbe reaching deeper environments where temperature is >LLT in the period of biological exploration. (5) Restructure or remove Category II* from the policy as it becomes largely redundant with this new approach, (6) Establish that any sample return from an Icy World should be Category V restricted Earth return.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A well-established antimicrobial resistance (AMR) laboratory-based surveillance (LBS) is of utmost importance in a country like Zambia which bears a significant proportion of the world's communicable disease burden. This study assessed the capacity of laboratories in selected hospitals to conduct AMR surveillance in Zambia. METHODS This cross-sectional exploratory study was conducted among eight purposively selected hospitals in Zambia between August 2023 and December 2023. Data were collected using the self-scoring Laboratory Assessment of Antibiotic Resistance Testing Capacity (LAARC) tool. FINDINGS Of the assessed facilities, none had full capacity to conduct AMR surveillance with varying capacities ranging from moderate (63% (5/8)) to low (38% (3/8)). Some of the barriers of AMR-LBS were the lack of an electronic laboratory information system (63% (5/8)) and the lack of locally generated antibiograms (75% (6/8)). Quality control for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), pathogen identification and media preparation had the lowest overall score among all of the facilities with a score of 14%, 20% and 44%, respectively. The highest overall scores were in specimen processing (79%), data management (78%), specimen collection, transport and management (71%), and safety (70%). Most facilities had standard operating procedures in place but lacked specimen-specific standard operating procedures. CONCLUSION The absence of laboratories with full capacity to conduct AMR surveillance hinders efforts to combat AMR and further complicates the treatment outcomes of infectious diseases. Establishing and strengthening LBS systems are essential in quantifying the burden of AMR and supporting the development of local antibiograms and treatment guidelines.

Abstract
A 36-year-old woman presented to the emergency room with a consciousness disorder after developing abdominal pain with diarrhea for 2 days. She presented with marked hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, and increased serum free fatty acid (FFA) levels; however, no elevation in the glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels was observed. Based on the marked depletion of insulin secretion, the patient was diagnosed as diabetic ketoacidosis attributed to fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D). Computed tomography on admission revealed severe fatty liver (FL), which improved 17 h following insulin treatment. Insulin treatment also suppressed the serum FFA levels. Some cases of FT1D with FL and liver dysfunction have been reported previously; however, its pathogenesis and clinical course remain unclear. Compared to previous reports, this case reported the shortest time for FL improvement. In this case, rapid and severe insulin deficiency led to a markedly high FFA level and significant accumulation of triglycerides in the hepatocytes, resulting in severe FL. A rapid and large dose of insulin was administered when systemic insulin sensitivity was nearly maximal owing to insulin deficiency, increased insulin efficacy, early reduction of FFA, suppressed triglyceride accumulation in the hepatocytes, and increased triglyceride excretion from the liver. All these factors could have contributed to the rapid improvement in FL.

Abstract
Local ablation therapies are important treatment options for early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Various techniques have been used to perform these therapies efficiently and safely. However, few reports have discussed the usefulness of body position change (BPC). This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of BPC during local ablation therapies in patients with HCC. We evaluated 283 HCC nodules that underwent local ablation therapy. These nodules were categorized into high- or low-risk locations on the basis of their proximity to large vessels, adjacent extrahepatic organs, or poor visibility under ultrasound (US) guidance. The technical success rates, procedure time, and prognosis were evaluated. In this study, 176 (62%) nodules were classified in the high-risk location group. The high-risk location group was treated with techniques such as BPC, artificial pleural fluid, artificial ascites, fusion imaging, and contrast-enhanced US more frequently than the low-risk location group. The technical success rates were 96% and 95% for the high- and low-risk location groups, respectively. Within the high-risk location group, those without BPC had a lower success rate than those with BPC (91% vs. 99%, p = 0.015). Notably, BPC emerged as the sole contributing factor to the technical success rate in the high-risk location group (OR = 10, 95% CI 1.2-86, p = 0.034). In contrast, no differences were found in the procedure time, local tumor progression rates, intrahepatic distant recurrence rates, and overall survival between the groups with and without BPC in the high-risk location group. In conclusion, BPC during local ablation therapy in patients with HCC in high-risk locations was safe and efficient. The body position should be adjusted for HCC in high-risk locations to maintain good US visibility and ensure a safe puncture route in patients undergoing local ablation therapies.

Abstract
Background The benefits of novel androgen receptor axis-targeted agents (ARATs) on oncological outcomes in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) in real-world settings are unclear. Methods This multi-institutional retrospective study included 178 patients with nmCRPC treated between September 2003 and August 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: those who were treated with any novel ARATs, including apalutamide, enzalutamide, darolutamide, and abiraterone acetate, during any line of nmCRPC treatment (novel ARATs group) and those who were not (control group). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to evaluate the effects of novel ARATs on metastasis-free survival (MFS) and overall survival (OS). Results The median age and follow-up period after nmCRPC diagnosis were 76 years and 37 months, respectively. Of the 178 patients, 122 (69%) were treated with novel ARATs after nmCRPC diagnosis. The MFS and OS in the novel ARATs group were significantly longer than those in the control group (P < 0.001 and P = 0.020, respectively). In multivariable analyses, a prostate-specific antigen doubling time (PSADT) of <3 months and novel ARATs were independently and significantly associated with MFS and OS. The effects of novel ARATs on MFS were consistently observed across subgroups stratified by age (<75 years or ≥75 years), history of radical treatment (no or yes), biopsy Gleason score (<9 or ≥9), clinical stage (≤cT3 and cN0, or cT4 or cN1), and PSADT (≥3 months or <3 months). Conclusion Novel ARATs were significantly associated with improved oncological outcomes in patients with nmCRPC in a real-world setting, regardless of tumor aggressiveness.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In patients with unresectable malignant hilar biliary obstruction (UMHBO), drainage of ≥ 50% liver volume correlates with better clinical outcomes. Accurately measuring the liver volume to be drained by biliary stents is required. We aimed to develop a novel method for calculating the drained liver volume (DLV) using a 3D volume analyzer (3D volumetry), and assess the usefulness for drainage in patients with UMHBO. METHODS Three-dimensional volumetry comprises the following steps: (1) manual tracing of bile duct using 3D imaging system; (2) 3D reconstruction of bile duct and liver parenchyma; and (3) calculating DLV according to the 3D distribution of bile ducts. Using 3D volumetry, we reviewed data of patients who underwent biliary drainage for UMHBO, calculated the DLV, and determined the association between DLV and biliary drainage outcome. RESULTS There were 104 eligible cases. The mean DLV was 708 ± 393 ml (53% ± 21%). and 65 patients (63%) underwent drainage of ≥50% liver volume. The clinical success rate was significantly higher in patients with DLV ≥ 50% than in patients with DLV < 50% (89% vs. 28%, P < 0.001). The median time to recurrence of biliary obstruction (TRBO) and survival time were significantly longer in patients with DLV ≥ 50% than in patients with DLV < 50% (TRBO, 292 vs. 119 days, P = 0.03; survival, 285 vs. 65days, P = 0.004, log-rank test, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Three-dimensional volumetry, a novel method to calculate DLV accurately according to bile duct distribution was useful for drainage in UMHBO patients.

Abstract
AIM Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab (AB) combination therapy is the first-line treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC). The management of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) is an important issue associated with achieving a good therapeutic response in patients receiving AB therapy. However, few studies have reported irAE development in patients receiving AB therapy. This study focused on the association between irAE development and autoantibodies at baseline in patients receiving AB therapy. METHODS Sixty-one patients receiving AB therapy were enrolled. For autoantibodies, the following antibodies were tested before the start of AB therapy: antinuclear antibodies, rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-thyroglobulin antibodies, thyroid peroxidase antibodies, anti-thyroid stimulating hormone receptor antibodies, and acetylcholine receptor antibodies. A patient was considered to have pre-existing antibodies if any of the listed antibodies were present at baseline. RESULTS Ten patients (16%) developed irAEs during the observation period. The irAEs included liver injury, hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency, and rhabdomyolysis. Patients with irAE (n = 10) were more likely to be positive for any autoantibody (hazard ratio [HR] 3.7, p = 0.047) and RF at baseline (HR 5.4, p = 0.035) and to achieve complete response (HR 5.8, p = 0.027) than those without. The presence of autoantibodies at baseline was an independent factor associated with irAE development. CONCLUSION In the real world, 16% of patients receiving AB therapy for u-HCC developed irAEs. Patients with autoantibodies at baseline are at high risk of developing irAEs and require cautious follow-up.

Abstract
Falls are caused by a combination of factors, including loss of lower limb muscle strength (LMS), and associated with declined performance status (PS). Age-related sarcopenia is generally associated with decreased muscle mass and strength of lower limb muscle but without a noticeable loss of those of upper limb or trunk muscle. However, no reports have focused on falls or LMS in chronic liver disease (CLD) patients. This study is the first to analyze the risk factors for falls in patients with CLD, focusing on LMS measurement using the Locomoscan. This study enrolled 315 CLD patients whose LMS was measured. The patients who experienced falls more than 1 year ago or during the observation period were classified as those who experienced falls. We found that risk factors for falls were PS1/2 and decreased LMS (< 0.32 N/kg). The group with sarcopenia had a higher frequency of decreased LMS (54 vs. 26%, p = 0.001) and falls (24 vs. 4.4%, p < 0.001) compared to the non-sarcopenia group. This study found that decreased LMS was an independent risk factor for falls. Assessment of LMS may be used as a better marker associated with the risk of falls in patients with CLD.

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

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

Abstract
AIM The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the recent prevalence and clinical characteristics of NAFLD in Japan. METHODS This study initially included 410 061 retrospectively enrolled adults from the medical health checkup registry for metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver in Japan (MIRACLE-J; UMIN-CTR no. UMIN000049419), who were evaluated between 2014 and 2018 at 13 health centers in Japan. Individuals consuming >20 g of alcohol/day or with chronic liver disease were excluded. Fatty liver was diagnosed by ultrasonography. The probability of NAFLD with advanced fibrosis was estimated based on the fibrosis-4 index and NAFLD fibrosis score. RESULTS A total of 71 254 participants were included in the final analysis. The overall prevalence of NAFLD was 25.8%. There was a significant, twofold difference in NAFLD prevalence between men (37.4%) and women (18.1%). Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease prevalence increased linearly with body mass index, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol regardless of threshold values, even in the absence of obesity. Among patients with NAFLD, 14% had diabetes mellitus, 31% had hypertension, and 48% had dyslipidemia. The estimated prevalence of NAFLD with advanced fibrosis was 1.7% and 1.0% according to the fibrosis-4 index and NAFLD fibrosis score, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of NAFLD was approximately one-quarter of the general population in Japan. There was a linear relationship between NAFLD prevalence and various metabolic parameters, even in nonobese participants. The prevalence of NAFLD with advanced fibrosis was estimated to be 1%-2%.

Abstract
The T2K experiment presents new measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters using 19.7 ( 16.3 ) × 10 20 protons on target (POT) in (anti-)neutrino mode at the far detector (FD). Compared to the previous analysis, an additional 4.7 × 10 20 POT neutrino data was collected at the FD. Significant improvements were made to the analysis methodology, with the near-detector analysis introducing new selections and using more than double the data. Additionally, this is the first T2K oscillation analysis to use NA61/SHINE data on a replica of the T2K target to tune the neutrino flux model, and the neutrino interaction model was improved to include new nuclear effects and calculations. Frequentist and Bayesian analyses are presented, including results on sin 2 θ 13 and the impact of priors on the δ CP measurement. Both analyses prefer the normal mass ordering and upper octant of sin 2 θ 23 with a nearly maximally CP-violating phase. Assuming the normal ordering and using the constraint on sin 2 θ 13 from reactors, sin 2 θ 23 = 0 . 561 - 0.032 + 0.021 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and Δ m 32 2 = 2 . 494 - 0.058 + 0.041 × 10 - 3 eV 2 using constant Δ χ 2 intervals. The CP-violating phase is constrained to δ CP = - 1 . 97 - 0.70 + 0.97 using Feldman-Cousins corrected intervals, and δ CP = 0 , π is excluded at more than 90% confidence level. A Jarlskog invariant of zero is excluded at more than 2 σ credible level using a flat prior in δ CP , and just below 2 σ using a flat prior in sin δ CP . When the external constraint on sin 2 θ 13 is removed, sin 2 θ 13 = 28 . 0 - 6.5 + 2.8 × 10 - 3 , in agreement with measurements from reactor experiments. These results are consistent with previous T2K analyses.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atezolizumab plus bevacizumab combination therapy (AB) was the first-line treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC). IFN-γ-induced protein 10 (IP-10/CXCL10) is a chemokine to inhibit HCC proliferation by promoting the migration of cytotoxic T cells. We focused on the relationship between plasma IP-10/CXCL10 levels and the initial therapeutic response in patients receiving AB therapy. METHODS Forty-six patients receiving AB therapy were enrolled. Plasma IP-10/CXCL10 levels were measured at baseline, 3-7 days, 3 weeks, 6 weeks, and 8-12 weeks after the start of AB therapy. The initial therapeutic response was evaluated at 8-12 weeks. RESULTS The baseline IP-10/CXCL10 levels of partial response (PR) group was higher than that of stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD) group. Patients with the baseline IP-10/CXCL10 of 84 pg/mL or higher were likely to present PR than patients below (71 vs. 35%, p = 0.031), but prediction of PD using the baseline IP-10/CXCL10 levels was difficult. In contrast, IP-10/CXCL10 ratio of the PR group was lower than that of the SD/PD group at 3, 6, and 8-12 weeks. Patients with the 3, 6, and 8-12 weeks IP-10/CXCL10 ratio of 1.3, 0.4, and 0.4 or lower were likely to present PR than patients with ≥1.3, 0.4, and 0.4 (88, 35, 35 vs. 30, 3.8, 0%, p < 0.001, 0.011, 0.002). In other hand, the 3, 6, and 8-12 weeks IP-10/CXCL10 ratio for PD group was higher than that for non-PD group. Patients with the 3, 6, and 8-12 weeks IP-10/CXCL10 ratio of 1.3, 1.7, and 1.9 or higher were likely to present PD than patients below (85, 62, 57 vs. 32, 23, 14%, p = 0.002, 0.034, 0.009). CONCLUSION High baseline IP-10/CXCL10 levels may be associated with better outcome, and high IP-10/CXCL10 ratio after 3-12 weeks may be associated with worse outcome in u-HCC patients receiving AB therapy.

Abstract
Quantum spin liquid is a nontrivial magnetic state of longstanding interest, in which spins are strongly correlated and entangled but do not order; further intriguing is its doped version, which possibly hosts strange metal and unconventional superconductivity. A promising candidate of the doped spin liquid is a triangular-lattice organic conductor, κ-(BEDT-TTF)4Hg2.89Br8, recently found to hold metallicity, spin-liquid-like magnetism, and BEC-like superconductivity. The nature of the metallic state with the spin-liquid behaviour is awaiting to be further clarified. Here, we report the thermoelectric signature that mobile holes in the spin liquid background are in a quantum critical state and it pertains to the BEC-like superconductivity. The Seebeck coefficient divided by temperature, S/T, is enhanced on cooling with logarithmic divergence indicative of quantum criticality. Furthermore, the logarithmic enhancement is correlated with the superconducting transition temperature under pressure variation, and the temperature and magnetic field profile of S/T upon the superconducting transition change with pressure in a consistent way with the previously suggested BEC-BCS crossover. The present results reveal that the quantum criticality in a doped spin liquid emerges in a phase, not at a point, and is involved in the unconventional BEC-like nature.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Several studies have reported kidney injury caused by immune checkpoint inhibitors, and proteinuria caused by vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC). We investigated the relationship between renal function and prognosis in patients with u-HCC receiving atezolizumab and bevacizumab (AB) and lenvatinib (LEN) therapy. METHODS Fifty-one patients who received AB and 50 patients who received LEN therapy were included. We analyzed prognostic factors related to the overall survival (OS), and characteristics related to renal function. RESULTS In patients with AB therapy, OS was shorter in patients with baseline proteinuria of 1+ or higher, as assessed by urine dipstick test, compared to those with -/± (p = 0.024). There were many cases with two or more drugs with a high risk of renal dysfunction (p = 0.019) in patients with 1+ or higher. Furthermore, OS was shorter in the group with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) grade deterioration without urinary protein-creatinine ratio (UPCR) of 2 g/g·Cre or higher than in the other groups (p = 0.027). In the group where eGFR worsened without an increase in UPCR, there were many cases with a daily salt intake of 10 g or more (p = 0.027), three or more drugs with a high risk of renal dysfunction (p = 0.021), and a history of arteriosclerosis (p = 0.021). On the other hand, in patients with LEN therapy, OS tends to be shorter in patients with proteinuria of ± or higher, compared to those without (p = 0.074). There were many cases with a daily salt intake of 10 g or more in patients with ± or higher (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION In patients receiving AB and LEN therapy, baseline proteinuria was associated with OS. Renal function deterioration without proteinuria was associated with a poor prognosis in AB therapy. Excessive salt intake, preexisting atherosclerotic disease, and drug with a high risk of renal dysfunction were risk factors for renal deterioration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The damping ratio (DR) and the loss modulus (G″) obtained by 3D MR elastography complex modulus analysis has been reported recently to reflect early intrahepatic inflammation, and is expected to be a noninvasive biomarker of inflammation in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the role of the DR and the G″ in Japanese NAFLD patients remains unclear. METHODS We enrolled 39 Japanese patients with NAFLD who underwent liver biopsy and 3D MR elastography within 1 month and analyzed the association between DR, G″, and histological activity. RESULTS Regarding DR, no evident correlation was observed between the DR and histological activity (p = 0.14) when patients with all fibrosis stages were included. However, when patients were restricted up to stage F2 fibrosis, the association of the DR and inflammation became significant, the DR increasing with the degree of activity (p = 0.02). Among the constituents of fibrosis activity, ballooning correlated with the DR (p < 0.01) while lobular inflammation did not. Regarding G″, it was correlated with histological activity (p < 0.01), ballooning (p < 0.01), and lobular inflammation (p < 0.01) in patients with all fibrosis stages and in patients up to F2 fibrosis (p = 0.03 for activity and p = 0.04 for ballooning). The best cutoff value of DR for hepatitis activity in patients within the F2 stage was 0.094 (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.775, 95% CI: 0.529-1.000) and G″ was 0.402 (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve 0.825, 95% CI: 0.628-1.000). CONCLUSIONS The DR and G″ reflected the histological activity in Japanese patients with NAFLD during the early stage, indicating these values for noninvasive diagnosis of inflammation in Japanese patients with NAFLD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Recently, pemafibrate and a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) have each been reported to improve fatty liver disease. However, it is unclear whether their combination improves fatty liver disease and is equally effective in obese and non-obese patients. METHODS In 38 metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) patients, classified by baseline body mass index (BMI), changes in laboratory values, magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), and magnetic resonance imaging-proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) were studied after 1 year of combined pemafibrate plus mild LCD. RESULTS The combination treatment resulted in weight loss (P = 0.002), improvement in hepatobiliary enzymes (γ-glutamyl transferase, P = 0.027; aspartate aminotransferase, P < 0.001; alanine transaminase [ALT], P < 0.001), and improvement in liver fibrosis markers (FIB-4 index, P = 0.032; 7 s domain of type IV collagen, P = 0.002; M2BPGi, P < 0.001). Vibration-controlled transient elastography improved from 8.8 to 6.9 kPa (P < 0.001) and MRE improved from 3.1 to 2.8 kPa (P = 0.017) in the liver stiffness. MRI-PDFF improved from 16.6% to 12.3% in liver steatosis (P = 0.007). In patients with a BMI of 25 or higher, improvements of ALT (r = 0.659, P < 0.001) and MRI-PDFF (r = 0.784, P < 0.001) were significantly correlated with weight loss. However, in patients with a BMI below 25, the improvements of ALT or PDFF were not accompanied by weight loss. CONCLUSIONS Combined treatment with pemafibrate and a low-carbohydrate diet resulted in weight loss and improvements in ALT, MRE, and MRI-PDFF in MAFLD patients. Although such improvements were associated with weight loss in obese patients, the improvements were observed irrespective of weight loss in non-obese patients, indicating this combination can be effective both in obese and non-obese MAFLD patients.

Abstract
The KamLAND-Zen experiment has provided stringent constraints on the neutrinoless double-beta (0νββ) decay half-life in ^{136}Xe using a xenon-loaded liquid scintillator. We report an improved search using an upgraded detector with almost double the amount of xenon and an ultralow radioactivity container, corresponding to an exposure of 970 kg yr of ^{136}Xe. These new data provide valuable insight into backgrounds, especially from cosmic muon spallation of xenon, and have required the use of novel background rejection techniques. We obtain a lower limit for the 0νββ decay half-life of T_{1/2}^{0ν}>2.3×10^{26} yr at 90% C.L., corresponding to upper limits on the effective Majorana neutrino mass of 36-156 meV using commonly adopted nuclear matrix element calculations.

Abstract
We report a search for cosmic-ray boosted dark matter with protons using the 0.37 megaton×years data collected at Super-Kamiokande experiment during the 1996-2018 period (SKI-IV phase). We searched for an excess of proton recoils above the atmospheric neutrino background from the vicinity of the Galactic Center. No such excess is observed, and limits are calculated for two reference models of dark matter with either a constant interaction cross section or through a scalar mediator. This is the first experimental search for boosted dark matter with hadrons using directional information. The results present the most stringent limits on cosmic-ray boosted dark matter and exclude the dark matter-nucleon elastic scattering cross section between 10^{-33}cm^{2} and 10^{-27}cm^{2} for dark matter mass from 1 MeV/c^{2} to 300 MeV/c^{2}.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Muscle response in older adults is believed to decrease with maximal muscle strength, although it has not been adequately assessed; further, the relationship between frailty and muscle response remains unexamined. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to develop a practical method for measuring muscle response using grip strength in older adults and to clarify the relationship between frailty and grip strength response. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS We performed a cross-sectional, clinical, observational study. A total of 248 patients (94 men and 154 women, mean age: 78.2 years) who visited the outpatient unit in the Integrated Healthy Aging Clinic of our Hospital for the first time were enrolled. MEASUREMENTS Using a grip strength measuring device originally developed by us, we measured grip strength response indices, such as reaction time, time constant, rate of force development (response speed), and maximum grip strength. Grip strength response indices were compared among three groups (robust, pre-frail, and frail) according to the Fried and Kihon checklist assessments for frailty. RESULTS Based on Fried's assessment, marked differences were found between groups not only in maximal grip strength but also in response time and response speed. Based on the Kihon checklist assessment, there was no significant difference in response time; however, a considerable difference in response speed for the left hand was observed. Moreover, according to the Kihon checklist assessment, some cases showed differences in muscle response although not in maximal muscle strength. CONCLUSIONS The response speed of grip strength was suggested to decrease with frailty. The results suggest that measurement of grip strength response in both hands is useful to examine the relationship between frailty and grip strength response.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Atezolizumab and bevacizumab (AB) therapy was the first-line treatment for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (u-HCC). However, the predictive marker of therapeutic response that can be easily used in clinical practice is still unknown. We prospectively investigated the utility of time-intensity curve (TIC) analysis using contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) as a predictive indicator of therapeutic response after the start of AB therapy. METHODS Thirty-five patients who received AB therapy for u-HCC were included in this study. TIC analysis was performed in 28 patients who were able to undergo CEUS before and 3-7 days after administration. We analyzed prognostic factors related to the initial therapeutic response and long progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS The initial therapeutic response using dynamic computed tomography or Gd-EOB magnetic resonance imaging at 8-12 weeks after administration was partial response/stable disease/progressive disease (PD) in 14/12/9 cases (40/34/26%). Cases with PD (n = 9) had more cases without decreased blood flow in TIC analysis compared with cases with non-PD (100 vs. 18%, p = 0.001). Cases without decreased blood flow in TIC analysis (n = 10) had more cases with PD compared with cases with decreased blood flow (60 vs. 0%, p = 0.001). PFS in patients without decreased blood flow early after the administration was shorter than that in those with decreased blood flow (9.1 vs. 28 weeks, p = 0.0051). CONCLUSION Early evaluation by TIC analysis using CEUS may be useful in predicting the therapeutic response in patients treated with AB therapy for u-HCC.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify longitudinal changes in life-space mobility and the factors influencing it among chronic, stable post-stroke patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included Japanese post-stroke patients who received day-care rehabilitation services and could undergo three life-space mobility assessments (at baseline, 12, and 24 months) for over 2 years, using the Life-Space Assessment (LSA) tool. Physical function, cognitive function, and activities of daily living were assessed by self-selected comfortable gait speed, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Functional Independence Measure Motor subscale (FIM motor) scores, respectively, in addition to age, sex, time from onset, stroke type, and comorbidities. A multivariable linear mixed-effects model was used to examine the longitudinal changes in LSA scores and associated factors. RESULTS A total of 89 participants were enrolled. At baseline, the median age was 74 years, 33% were women, and median time from onset was 75 months. The LSA scores significantly declined over the two-year period. In the multivariate linear mixed-effects model adjusted for clinical characteristics, comfortable gait speed and age were significantly associated with changes in the LSA score, independent of FIM motor scores and MMSE scores. CONCLUSIONS Life-space mobility may persistently decline, and gait function may be a determinant influencing these changes in community-dwelling chronic post-stroke patients.Implications for RehabilitationLimited life-space mobility leads to less frequent participation in social activities and an increased risk of adverse health outcomes such as hospitalization.Changes in life-space mobility should be considered in the rehabilitation care plan for chronic post-stroke patients.Life-space mobility may decline persistently in stable post-stroke patients, even if they have periodically received day-care rehabilitation services.Since gait speed is a predominant factor affecting life-space mobility, regular assessment of gait function and appropriate strategies are needed to prevent deterioration of gait speed in chronic post-stroke patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, with the advent of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir therapy, sustained virological response (SVR) can now be achieved even in patients with decompensated cirrhosis (dLC). However, the prognosis after SVR does not always improve in dLC, and appropriate indicators enabling prediction of prognosis is desired. PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum IP-10/CXCL10 levels were measured in 47 patients (15 chronic hepatitis [CH], 17 compensated cirrhosis [cLC], and 15 dLC) receiving direct acting antiviral (DAA) therapy, and their changes during the therapy were examined. RESULTS All the patients achieved SVR. In patients with CH, the average IP-10 level was 367, 102, and 68 pg/ml respectively at baseline, at the end of therapy and at 12 weeks after SVR (SVR12), and was decreased upon DAA therapy (P < 0.001). In patients with cLC, IP-10 was respectively 215, 91, and 77 pg/ml, and was decreased upon DAA therapy (P < 0.001) while it was 283, 131, and 182 pg/ml in patients with dLC and there was no evident decrease (P = 0.55). When patients with dLC were further classified depending on the difference in Child-Pugh (CP) score improvement at SVR12, a significant decrease in IP-10 was observed after treatment in those with improvement (P = 0.023) while a significant increase was observed in those without improvement (P = 0.016). CONCLUSION While serum IP-10 level was decreased in patients with CH/cLC and dLC with post-SVR-CP improvement following SVR, it was increased in patients with dLC without post-SVR CP improvement. The result indicates that IP-10 dynamics may be useful for predicting liver function after DAA therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) is a useful treatment for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Some cases, however, are difficult to treat and may require multiple freezing procedures and/or touch-up ablation. Although several predictors of CBA difficulty have been reported, no report has been able to assess the spatial location and morphology of the left atrium (LA) and pulmonary veins (PVs). A polygonal mesh is a collection of vertices, edges, and faces that defines the shape of a polyhedral object, and is able to represent a spatial location with a small amount of information. We hypothesized that a deep learning model that learns mesh representation datasets could more accurately detect the CBA difficulty and that we could establish a novel evaluation method in CBA.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to create a model to predict CBA difficulty with a 3D deep learning model using polygonal mesh representation.
Methods and results
All the 140 patients who underwent CBA for drug-resistant atrial fibrillation between January 2015 and January 2022 were included. A 28-mm cryoballoon (Arctic Front Advance, Medtronic) was used in all cases. We defined CBA difficulty as requiring a touch-up ablation procedure to create complete PVI. We converted the volume data in DICOM format of the computed tomography images of PVs and LA to obj file format (shown in Figure 1), which supports the definition of the geometry for object surfaces using polygonal meshes. Next, we developed a deep learning model that could learn polygonal meshes and classify whether the CBA required touch-up ablation or not. Only a training dataset is used to train the deep learning model, and finally, a test dataset is used to evaluate the model metrics. The accuracy, area under the ROC curve, recall, precision, and f1-score of the deep learning model using the test dataset was 86.5%, 87.7%, 66.7%, 75.0%, 70.6%, respectively.
Conclusions
We developed a 3D deep learning model that can detect a difficulty in CBA using polygonal mesh representation. By predicting difficult cases in advance, we will be able to develop strategies to increase the success rate.

Abstract
The method of analyzing individual resistant hepatitis C virus (HCV) by a combination of haplotyping and resistance-associated substitution (RAS) has not been fully elucidated because conventional sequencing has only yielded short and fragmented viral genomes. We performed haplotype analysis of HCV mutations in 12 asunaprevir/daclatasvir treatment-failure cases using the Oxford Nanopore sequencer. This enabled single-molecule long-read sequencing using rolling circle amplification (RCA) for correction of the sequencing error. RCA of the circularized reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction products successfully produced DNA longer than 30 kilobase pairs (kb) containing multiple tandem repeats of a target 3 kb HCV genome. The long-read sequencing of these RCA products could determine the original sequence of the target single molecule as the consensus nucleotide sequence of the tandem repeats and revealed the presence of multiple viral haplotypes with the combination of various mutations in each host. In addition to already known signature RASs, such as NS3-D168 and NS5A-L31/Y93, there were various RASs specific to a different haplotype after treatment failure. The distribution of viral haplotype changed over time; some haplotypes disappeared without acquiring resistant mutations, and other haplotypes, which were not observed before treatment, appeared after treatment. Conclusion: The combination of various mutations other than the known signature RAS was suggested to influence the kinetics of individual HCV quasispecies in the direct-acting antiviral treatment. HCV haplotype dynamic analysis will provide novel information on the role of HCV diversity within the host, which will be useful for elucidating the pathological mechanism of HCV-related diseases.

Abstract
Clinical samples from 123 foals with suspected rhodococcosis submitted to the Veterinary Microbiological Diagnostic Centre of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine between 1993 and 2006 were tested for the presence of the virulence gene vapA. Of the 123 samples, 120 were vapA-positive and 3 vapA-negative Rhodococcus equi were isolated. The 120 vapA-positive R. equi were isolated from 70 tracheal wash, 19 lung tissues, 7 lymph nodes, 6 synovial fluids, 13 abscesses or pus and single isolates from the uterus, gut, cerebrospinal fluid, abdomen fluid and faeces. Of the 120 isolates, 46 were from Dutch warmblood horses, 23 from Friesian horses, 14 from Trotters, 4 from Holsteiners, 3 from Arab breed, 2 from ponies, 1 from a Welsh pony and 27 from undefined breed horses. Using plasmid profile analysis of the 120 isolates, 117 isolates contained the 85-kb type I plasmid, 2 contained the 87-kb type I plasmid and 1 contained the novel 52-kb non-mobilizable virulence plasmid reported recently. These results showed that the virulent R. equi strains harbouring a virulence plasmid of 85-kb type I or 87-kb type I, which have been detected in clinical isolates from five European countries, are widespread in the Netherlands. This is the first report of plasmid types of clinical R. equi isolates in the Netherlands.

Abstract
PURPOSE The prognostic value of F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) taken immediately after completion of radiotherapy in lung cancer patients is not well known. The purpose of this study is to assess the prognostic value of PET/CT taken immediately after completion of radiotherapy in lung cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with primary lung cancer planned to undergo concurrent chemoradiotherapy were enrolled. Patients underwent PET/CT scans at 3 time points: before radiotherapy, within 24hours of completing radiotherapy (im-PET/CT), and 2-9 months after radiotherapy (post-PET/CT). Maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) was obtained. A post-PET/CT-SUVmax cut-off of 2.5 was determined as radiotherapy success. RESULTS Nineteen patients were enrolled. im-PET/CT-SUVmax for patients in the high post-PET/CT-SUVmax group was significantly higher than that of the low group (P=0.004). Receiver operator curve analysis indicated that im-PET/CT-SUVmax of 4.35 was an optimal cut-off value to discriminate between the two groups. Multivariable analysis showed that a high im-PET/CT-SUVmax was significantly associated with a high post-PET/CT-SUVmax (P=0.003). CONCLUSION PET/CT-SUVmax taken immediately following radiotherapy was associated with that evaluated 2-9 months after radiotherapy.

Abstract
BackgroundElevated serum IgG4 levels are one of the characteristic findings in immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD). Serum IgG4 levels have an impact to a certain extent on the diagnosis of IgG4-RD although there are some issues in their sensitivity and specificity. In the reports from Japan, China, USA, and Europe, elevated serum IgG4 levels were reported to be observed in 83-97% of patients with IgG4-RD [1-5]. In the past investigations of hospital patients, some studies reported that 10-15% of hospital patients with elevated serum IgG4 levels had IgG4-RD [6,7]. However, in general adults with no symptom, investigations of prevalence of elevated serum IgG4 levels and/or IgG4-RD have rarely been conducted.ObjectivesThis study aimed to investigate the frequency of serum IgG4 elevation in the general Japanese population and its associated factors using data from resident examinations.MethodsWe measured the serum IgG4 levels in 1,204 residents who underwent a general medical examination in Ishikawa prefecture, Japan. Logistic regression analysis was used to search for factors related to elevated serum IgG4 levels. Secondary examinations were conducted for participants in whom elevation was identified.ResultsThe mean serum IgG4 level was 44 mg/dL, and elevated serum IgG4 levels were observed in 42 patients (3.5%). Univariate logistic regression analyses showed that male sex, older age, lower estimated glomerular filtration rates based on cystatin C (eGFR-CysC), serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and higher hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were associated with elevated serum IgG4 levels. Subgroup analyses in men showed that older age, lower eGFR-CysC levels, and higher serum HbA1c levels were associated with elevated serum IgG4 levels. In contrast, the analyses in women found no significant factors. One of the 10 residents who underwent secondary examinations was diagnosed with possible IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis.ConclusionIn the general population, elevated serum IgG4 levels are more common in elderly men, which is similar to the epidemiological features of IgG4-RD.References[1]Inoue D, et al.

Abstract
A new type of self-sustained divertor oscillation is discovered in the Large Helical Device stellarator, where the peripheral plasma is detached from material diverters by means of externally applied perturbation fields. The divertor oscillation is found to be a self-regulation of an isolated magnetic field structure (the magnetic island) width induced by a drastic change in a poloidal inhomogeneity of the plasma radiation across the detachment-attachment transitions. A predator-prey model between the magnetic island width and a self-generated local plasma current (the bootstrap current) is introduced to describe the divertor oscillation, which successfully reproduces the experimental observations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Cold snare polypectomy (CSP) has become the standard resection method for small colorectal polyps (<10 mm). Sessile serrated lesions (SSL) have low prevalence of advanced histology irrespective of size, and thus could be amenable to CSP. In this study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of CSP for SSLs ≥10 mm. METHODS Between November 2018 and January 2020, we prospectively enrolled 300 consecutive patients who underwent CSP for 474 SSLs ≥10 mm. To delineate SSL borders, indigo carmine chromoendoscopy and/or image-enhanced endoscopy was conducted. Piecemeal CSP (pCSP) was performed in cases where en-bloc resection was difficult. Biopsy specimens were obtained from the margins of the post-polypectomy defect to confirm complete resection. Surveillance colonoscopy was performed to screen for local recurrence. RESULTS All lesions were successfully resected using CSP without submucosal injection. The median diameter of the resected lesions was 14 mm, and pCSP was used to resect 106 (22%) lesions. Post-polypectomy biopsies revealed residual serrated tissue in only one case (0.2%). Adverse events included immediate bleeding in 8 (3%) patients; no delayed bleeding events occurred, irrespective of the use of antithrombotic drugs. During a 7-month median follow-up period, surveillance colonoscopies were performed for 384 lesions (81%), and no local recurrences were detected. CONCLUSIONS CSP without submucosal injection is a safe and effective treatment for SSLs ≥10 mm. UMIN Clinical Trials, Number: UMIN000034763.

Abstract
Background and Aim Recently, balloon‐occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO), performed for spontaneous portosystemic shunts (SPSS), has been receiving attention as a measure to improve liver function in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension. However, it is unclear whether SPSS diameter is associated with changes in hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and liver function after BRTO. Methods In 34 cirrhotic patients receiving BRTO for hepatic encephalopathy/gastric varices, the association of SPSS diameter with liver function at baseline and 6 months after BRTO and the accompanying changes in HVPG were investigated. Results Patients had Child–Pugh (CP) scores of A/B/C (7/19/8), SPSS diameters of ≤10 mm/11–20 mm/<20 mm (8/21/5), and an average observation period of 3.2 (0.3–8.5) years. SPSS diameter was significantly associated with male sex, alcohol use, and values of albumin, prothrombin time (PT%), and NH3 at baseline. Moreover, the SPSS diameter was significantly correlated with the changes in HVPG observed upon BRTO (r = 0.55, P = 0.005), and a large shunt diameter was significantly associated with a greater increase in HVPG. At 6 months, significant improvements in albumin, PT%, bilirubin, and NH3 were observed overall, but the improvement was marked in those with larger shunt diameters if they had CP A/B. Conclusion SPSS diameter was strongly associated with liver function at baseline and after BRTO and also with changes in HVPG, indicating that SPSS diameter is an important predictor of BRTO outcome.

Abstract
Objective Owing to advances in direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy, a considerable number of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-positive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are now able to achieve a sustained viral response (SVR) after curative treatment of HCC. However, the beneficial effect of a DAA-SVR on the survival remains unclear. Methods A total of 205 patients with HCC who were HCV-positive with Child-Pugh A at the onset from 2008 to 2018 were categorized into 2 groups: 140 patients untreated for HCV throughout the entire course after HCC development (untreated group) and 65 patients treated for HCV with DAAs following HCC treatment who achieved an SVR (SVR group). After propensity score matching, 63 patients from each group were selected. Using these patients, the survival and maintenance of Child-Pugh A after HCC treatment were compared between the untreated group and SVR group. Results There was a significant difference in the overall survival (p<0.001) and the rate of maintaining Child-Pugh A (p<0.001) between the groups. The 5-year survival rates were 96% (SVR group) and 60% (untreated group), and the proportions of patients with Child-Pugh A at 5 years after HCC treatment were 96% (SVR group) and 38% (untreated group). Conclusion In patients with HCV-positive HCC, achieving a DAA-SVR after HCC treatment significantly improved the overall survival rate compared with HCV-untreated patients. The contribution of DAA-SVR during the course of HCC treatment to a longer survival is mainly due to the prevention of the progression of Child-Pugh A to B/C. Further research is needed to determine whether aggressive antiviral therapy is also effective for HCC patients with Child-Pugh B/C.
