Surgery, 180, 109136, 109136, 21 Jan. 2025, [International Magazine]
English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Telesimulation has been shown to be effective for teaching simple surgical techniques; however, its usefulness for teaching advanced skills remains unclear. The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to investigate the impact of a telesimulation program on training for laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. METHODS: Novice trainees were randomly assigned to the intervention group or control group using a permuted block design. Intervention group participants received a 1-hour didactic telelecture and three 1-hour telesimulation sessions with a hernia specialist, whereas control group participants engaged in self-directed training using the same simulator and materials. Trainees' procedural videos, recorded before and after training, were assessed using the transabdominal preperitoneal checklist and the Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills-Groin Hernia. Pre- and post-training tests were performed to evaluate knowledge of inguinal hernias and self-confidence in transabdominal preperitoneal procedures. RESULTS: Forty-three participants from 16 institutions in Japan were enrolled, with 22 and 19 in the intervention group and control group, respectively, completing the final analysis. Median post-test transabdominal preperitoneal checklist scores were 16 (interquartile range: 15-18.5) in the intervention group and 11 (interquartile range: 8.5-14.5) in the control group; intervention group participants significantly outperformed their counterparts (P < .001). However, comparison of pre- and post-test scores showed skill improvements in both groups (P < .001). Both groups also showed increased knowledge and confidence. CONCLUSION: The telesimulation program effectively enhanced the surgical skills of novice trainees in learning laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, demonstrating superiority over self-directed learning. - Quantity and quality of napping to mitigate fatigue and sleepiness among nurses working long night shifts: a prospective observational study

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 44, 1, Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 06 Jan. 2025
Scientific journal, Abstract
Background
Napping during night shifts is a countermeasure against fatigue and sleepiness, which both impact patient safety. However, there is insufficient evidence on how nurses nap, especially concerning their napping quality. This study explored night-shift napping and its associated factors among nurses, considering napping quantity and quality, to mitigate fatigue and sleepiness.
Methods
This month-long prospective observational study included 32 nurses working 16-h night shifts in a general ward. All nurses responded to questions on individual factors, while fatigue and sleepiness were checked four times during night shifts. Night-shift napping was measured using a wearable device and classified into six groups: time in bed [TIB] > 180 min and sleep efficiency [SE] ≥ 70%, TIB > 180 min and SE < 70%, TIB 120–180 min and SE ≥ 70%, TIB 120–180 min and SE < 70%, TIB < 120 min and SE ≥ 70%, and TIB < 120 min and SE < 70%.
Results
Most nurses (81.2%) worked four night shifts per month, and 105 night shifts in which nurses intended to nap were analyzed. The two nap conditions (TIB 120–180 min and SE ≥ 70%, TIB > 180 min and SE ≥ 70%) were not worse than other nap conditions in fatigue and sleepiness at the end of the night shift and change in fatigue from the start to the end of the night shift. Sleep reactivity, pre-nap time on electronic devices, and prophylactic naps taken before the night shift were each the common factors related to napping for TIB ≥ 120 min and SE ≥ 70%.
Conclusions
Nurses working long night shifts should consider both sufficient napping quantity and good napping quality. We suggest aiming for a TIB of at least 120 min and a SE of at least 70% to mitigate fatigue and sleepiness at the end of a night shift. Assessing sleep reactivity, pre-nap time on electronic devices, and prophylactic naps may be useful in achieving both quantity and quality effectively. Nurses and their managers should have a better understanding of napping and consider strategically taking naps during night shifts. - Association of Blood Glucose Data With Physiological and Nutritional Data From Dietary Surveys and Wearable Devices: Database Analysis
Takashi Miyakoshi, Yoichi M Ito
JMIR Diabetes, 9, e62831, e62831, JMIR Publications Inc., 03 Dec. 2024
Scientific journal, Background
Wearable devices can simultaneously collect data on multiple items in real time and are used for disease detection, prediction, diagnosis, and treatment decision-making. Several factors, such as diet and exercise, influence blood glucose levels; however, the relationship between blood glucose and these factors has yet to be evaluated in real practice.
Objective
This study aims to investigate the association of blood glucose data with various physiological index and nutritional values using wearable devices and dietary survey data from PhysioNet, a public database.
Methods
Three analytical methods were used. First, the correlation of each physiological index was calculated and examined to determine whether their mean values or SDs affected the mean value or SD of blood glucose. To investigate the impact of each physiological indicator on blood glucose before and after the time of collection of blood glucose data, lag data were collected, and the correlation coefficient between blood glucose and each physiological indicator was calculated for each physiological index. Second, to examine the relationship between postprandial blood glucose rise and fall and physiological and dietary nutritional assessment indices, multiple regression analysis was performed on the relationship between the slope before and after the peak in postprandial glucose over time and physiological and dietary nutritional indices. Finally, as a supplementary analysis to the multiple regression analysis, a 1-way ANOVA was performed to compare the relationship between the upward and downward slopes of blood glucose and the groups above and below the median for each indicator.
Results
The analysis revealed several indicators of interest: First, the correlation analysis of blood glucose and physiological indices indicated meaningful relationships: acceleration SD (r=–0.190 for lag data at –15-minute values), heart rate SD (r=–0.121 for lag data at –15-minute values), skin temperature SD (r=–0.121), and electrodermal activity SD (r=–0.237) for lag data at –15-minute values. Second, in multiple regression analysis, physiological indices (temperature mean: t=2.52, P=.01; acceleration SD: t=–2.06, P=.04; heart rate_30 SD: t=–2.12, P=.04; electrodermal activity_90 SD: t=1.97, P=.049) and nutritional indices (mean carbohydrate: t=6.53, P<.001; mean dietary fiber: t=–2.51, P=.01; mean sugar: t=–3.72, P<.001) were significant predictors. Finally, the results of the 1-way ANOVA corroborated the findings from the multiple regression analysis.
Conclusions
Similar results were obtained from the 3 analyses, consistent with previous findings, and the relationship between blood glucose, diet, and physiological indices in the real world was examined. Data sharing facilitates the accessibility of wearable data and enables statistical analyses from various angles. This type of research is expected to be more common in the future. - Assessment of factors associated with antipsychotic-induced weight gain: A nationwide cohort study

English, Scientific journal, OBJECTIVES: To determine how the treatment decision-making process and posttreatment health-related quality of life (HRQOL) are related to regret about treatment choice for prostate cancer patients in Japan. METHODS: We invited a total of 614 patients who were treated with radiation therapy (RT), radical prostatectomy (RP), or active surveillance/watchful waiting (AS/WW) from April 2007 to March 2021. Posttreatment regret was evaluated by the Decision Regret Scale. HRQOL was evaluated by the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite and the 12-item Short Form Survey. The decision-making process was assessed by patient evaluation of the decision-making process. We compared the decision regret scale scores across treatment types, HRQOL, and decision-making processes. RESULTS: Data from 371 patients were analyzed (RT: 202, RP: 149, AS/WW: 20). The median length of time since treatment was 64 (IQR: 43-93) months. The decision regret scale scores were not significantly different among the treatment groups but were significantly greater (strong regret) in patients with poor urinary summary scores, bowel summary scores, and hormonal summary scores. The decision regret scale scores were significantly lower (less regret) for patients who reported being adequately informed at the time of the treatment decision and who had adequately communicated their questions and concerns to physicians than for patients who reported less adequate communication. This result was also observed among patients who reported low HRQOL scores. CONCLUSIONS: These findings underline the important influence of posttreatment HRQOL and decision-making as an interactive process between physicians and their patients on posttreatment regret in prostate cancer patients. - Investigation of interfractional range variation owing to anatomical changes with beam directions based on water equivalent thickness in proton therapy for pancreatic cancer.

English, Scientific journal, To assess the interfractional anatomical range variations (ARVs) with beam directions and their impact on dose distribution in intensity modulated proton therapy, we analyzed water equivalent thickness (WET) from 10 patients with pancreatic cancer. The distributions of the interfractional WET difference ($\Delta{\mathrm{WET } }^{\theta }$) across 360° were visualized using polar histograms. Interfractional ARVs were evaluated using the mean absolute error and ΔWET pass rate, indicating the percentage of $\Delta \mathrm{WE},{\mathrm{T } }^{\theta }$ < thresholds. The impact on dose distribution in proton therapy was evaluated based on two treatment plans for 40 Gy(RBE)/5 fractions: 'Plan A', using two beam angles, in which the target was closest to the body surface among four perpendicular directions; and 'Plan B', using two beam angles with small ARVs. Analysis revealed individual variations in angular trends of interfractional ARVs. Three distinct trends were identified: Group 1 exhibited small ARVs around posterior directions; Group 2 exhibited small ARVs except ~60°; Group 3 demonstrated minimal ARVs only ~90°. In dose evaluation, while 150° and 210° were selected in Plan B for 9 out of 10 patients, for the remaining patient, 60° and 90° were chosen. Comparing dose volume histogram parameters for all patients, Plan B significantly reduced target coverage loss while maintaining organ-at-risk sparing comparable to Plan A. These results demonstrated that selecting beam angles with small interfractional ARVs for each patient enhances the robustness of dose distribution, reducing target coverage loss. - Intravenous infusion of auto-serum-expanded autologous mesenchymal stem cells into chronic severe brain injury patients

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing, 38, 3, 639, 648, Jun. 2024, [International Magazine]
English, Scientific journal, Few reports are available on the monitoring of regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) in pediatric patients undergoing non-cardiac surgical procedures. In addition, no study has examined the rSO2 levels in children of a broad age range. In this study, we aimed to assess and compare rSO2 levels in pediatric patients of different age groups undergoing non-cardiac surgery. We used two oximeters, tNIRS-1, which uses time-resolved spectroscopy, and conventional INVOS 5100C. Seventy-eight children-26 infants, 26 toddlers, and 26 schoolchildren-undergoing non-cardiac surgery were included. We investigated the differences in the rSO2 levels among the age groups and the correlation between the models and physiological factors influencing the rSO2 values. rSO2 measured by INVOS 5100C was significantly lower in infants than those in other patients. rSO2 measured by tNIRS-1 was higher in the toddler group than those in the other groups. The rSO2 values of tNIRS-1 and INVOS 5100C were moderately correlated (r = 0.41); however, those of INVOS 5100C were approximately 20% higher, and a ceiling effect was observed. The values in INVOS 5100C and tNIRS-1 were affected by blood pressure and the minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane, respectively. In pediatric patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery, rSO2 values differed across the three age groups, and the pattern of these differences varied between the two oximeters employing different algorithms. Further research must be conducted to clarify cerebral oxygenation in children. - A Single-Institution Prospective Study To Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Real- Time Image-Gated Spot-Scanning Proton Therapy (RGPT) for Prostate Cancer.

Advances in radiation oncology, 9, 5, 101464, 101464, May 2024, [International Magazine]
English, Scientific journal, PURPOSE: In real-time image-gated spot-scanning proton therapy (RGPT), the dose distribution is distorted by gold fiducial markers placed in the prostate. Distortion can be suppressed by using small markers and more than 2 fields, but additional fields may increase the dose to organs at risk. Therefore, we conducted a prospective study to evaluate the safety and short-term clinical outcome of RGPT for prostate cancer. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Based on the previously reported frequency of early adverse events (AE) and the noninferiority margin of 10%, the required number of cases was calculated to be 43 using the one-sample binomial test by the Southwest Oncology Group statistical tools with the one-sided significance level of 2.5% and the power 80%. Patients with localized prostate cancer were enrolled and 3 to 4 pure gold fiducial markers of 1.5-mm diameter were inserted in the prostate. The prescribed dose was 70 Gy(relative biologic effectiveness) in 30 fractions, and treatment was performed with 3 fields from the left, right, and the back, or 4 fields from either side of slightly anterior and posterior oblique fields. The primary endpoint was the frequency of early AE (≥grade 2) and the secondary endpoint was the biochemical relapse-free survival rate and the frequency of late AE. RESULTS: Forty-five cases were enrolled between 2015 and 2017, and all patients completed the treatment protocol. The median follow-up period was 63.0 months. The frequency of early AE (≥grade 2) was observed in 4 cases (8.9%), therefore the noninferiority was verified. The overall 5-year biochemical relapse-free survival rate was 88.9%. As late AE, grade 2 rectal bleeding was observed in 8 cases (17.8%). CONCLUSIONS: The RGPT for prostate cancer with 1.5-mm markers and 3- or 4- fields was as safe as conventional proton therapy in early AE, and its efficacy was comparable with previous studies. - Influence of epicardial adipose tissue inflammation and adipocyte size on postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients after cardiovascular surgery

English, Scientific journal, Abstract
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is an active endocrine organ that is closely associated with occurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the role of EAT in the development of postoperative AF (POAF) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between EAT profile and POAF occurrence in patients who underwent cardiovascular surgery. We obtained EAT samples from 53 patients to evaluate gene expression, histological changes, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) capacity in the EAT, and protein secretion in EAT‐conditioned medium. EAT volume was measured using computed tomography scan. Eighteen patients (34%) experienced POAF within 7 days after surgery. Although no significant difference was observed in EAT profile between patients with and without POAF, logistic regression analysis identified that the mRNA expression levels of tumor necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α) were positively correlated and adipocyte size in the EAT was inversely correlated with onset of POAF, respectively. Mitochondrial OXPHOS capacity in the EAT was not associated with POAF occurrence; however, it showed an inverse correlation with adipocyte size and a positive correlation with adiponectin secretion. In conclusion, changes in the secretory profile and adipocyte morphology of the EAT, which represent qualitative aspects of the adipose tissue, were present before the onset of AF. - Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of urinary extracellular vesicle mRNA markers in urothelial bladder cancer patients.

English, Scientific journal, We designed this multi-center prospective study with the following objectives: (1) the cross-sectional validation of extracellular vesicles (EV) mRNA markers to detect urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) before transurethral resection of bladder cancer (TURBT), and (2) the longitudinal validation of EV mRNA markers to monitor non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) recurrence after TURBT. EV mRNA markers evaluated in this study were KRT17, GPRC5A, and SLC2A1 in addition to two additional markers from literatures, MDK and CXCR2, and measured by quantitative RT-PCR with normalization by a reference gene (ALDOB). Diagnostic performances of EV mRNA markers were compared to conventional markers. Regarding the first objective, we confirmed that EV mRNA biomarkers in urine were higher in UBC patients, particularly those with higher stage/grade tumors, than in those without UBC (n = 278 in total) and the diagnostic performance of EV mRNA MDK and KRT17 outperformed conventional biomarkers with AUC 0.760 and 0.730, respectively. Concerning the second objective, we prospectively analyzed the time courses of EV mRNA markers while NMIBC patients (n = 189) (median follow-up 19 months). The expression of EV mRNA KRT17 was significantly high in patients with recurrence, while it gradually decreased over time in those without recurrence (p < 0.01). - Intracerebral transplantation of MRI-trackable autologous bone marrow stromal cells for patients with subacute ischemic stroke.

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and neurological disability worldwide, and stem cell therapy is highly expected to reverse the sequelae. This phase 1/2, first-in-human study evaluated the safety, feasibility, and monitoring of an intracerebral-transplanted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-trackable autologous bone marrow stromal cell (HUNS001-01) for patients with subacute ischemic stroke. METHODS: The study included adults with severe disability due to ischemic stroke. HUNS001-01 cultured with human platelet lysates and labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide was stereotactically transplanted into the peri-infarct area 47-64 days after ischemic stroke onset (dose: 2 or 5 × 107 cells). Neurological and radiographic evaluations were performed throughout 1 year after cell transplantation. The trial was registered at UMIN Clinical Trial Registry (number UMIN000026130). FINDINGS: All seven patients who met the inclusion criteria successfully achieved cell expansion, underwent intracerebral transplantation, and completed 1 year of follow-up. No product-related adverse events were observed. The median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and modified Rankin scale scores before transplantation were 13 and 4, which showed improvements of 1-8 and 0-2, respectively. Cell tracking proved that the engrafted cells migrated toward the infarction border area 1-6 months after transplantation, and the quantitative susceptibility mapping revealed that cell signals at the migrated area constantly increased throughout the follow-up period up to 34% of that of the initial transplanted site. CONCLUSIONS: Intracerebral transplantation of HUNS001-01 was safe and well tolerated. Cell tracking shed light on the therapeutic mechanisms of intracerebral transplantation. FUNDING: This work was supported by the Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED; JP17bk0104045 and JP20bk0104011). - Development of a simulator and training curriculum for liver trauma surgery training for general surgeons

Journal of Physiological Anthropology, 43, 1, Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 02 Jan. 2024
Scientific journal, Abstract
Background
Predicting nurse turnover risk is crucial due to the global nursing shortage; however, existing predictors, such as fatigue and burnout, lack objectivity. Salivary cortisol is a non-invasive marker of stress and fatigue, but its utility in predicting nurse turnover risk is unknown. We examined whether salivary cortisol profiles across three different day shifts in a month are predictors of the extent of nurses’ reluctance to stay in their current jobs.
Methods
This preliminary longitudinal study followed forty female nurses who engaged in shift work at a university hospital for 3 months. Data at enrollment were collected including demographics, working conditions, chronic fatigue (the Japanese version of the Occupational Fatigue/Exhaustion Recovery Scale), and burnout (Japanese Burnout scale). Salivary cortisol was measured before the three different day shifts (after awakening) during the first month, and the means of these measurements were used as the cortisol profile. The extent of reluctance to stay was assessed using the numerical rating scale at 3 months.
Results
Among the forty female nurses (mean [SD] age, 28.3 [5.1]), all completed follow-up and were included in the analysis. The cortisol profile was associated with the extent of reluctance to stay (P = 0.017), and this association was significant despite adjustments for chronic fatigue and burnout (P = 0.005). A multiple regression model with chronic fatigue, burnout, and job tenure explained 41.5% of the variation in reluctance to stay. When the cortisol profile was added to this model, the association of the cortisol profile was significant (P = 0.006) with an R2 of 0.529 (ΔR2 = 0.114).
Conclusions
This preliminary study conducted in an actual clinical setting indicated the potential of the salivary cortisol profile across three different day shifts in a month to predict nurses’ reluctance to stay in their current jobs. The combination of subjective indicators and the cortisol profile would be useful in predicting nurses' turnover risk. - Eribulin for patients with metastatic extramammary Paget disease: Study protocol for a single-arm phase II trial.

English, Scientific journal, Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignancy that predominantly affects the anogenital areas of the elderly. Although the efficacy of docetaxel and other cytotoxic agents for advanced EMPD has been reported in small retrospective case studies, no treatment has been proven effective in prospective clinical trials. We established the world's first in vivo EMPD experimental model (a patient-derived xenograft model). In our treatment experiment, xenograft tumours showed a remarkable response to eribulin. This study evaluates the efficacy of eribulin for patients with advanced EMPD. In October 2022, we started a single-arm phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy of eribulin as a treatment for adult patients with unresectable EMPD with measurable lesions. Enrolment in this clinical trial is open to patients with any prior treatment for EMPD. The primary endpoint is overall response rate; the secondary endpoints include disease control rate, overall survival, progression-free survival and adverse events. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hokkaido University and the other collaborating institutions. If the primary endpoint is met, it is our hope that eribulin will be regarded as a standard medication for patients with advanced EMPD. - Risk factors for abnormal glucose metabolism during antipsychotic treatment: A prospective cohort study.

English, Scientific journal, Antipsychotic medications increase the risk of abnormal glucose metabolism. However, in clinical practice, it is difficult to predict this risk because it is affected by medication-related and background factors. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for abnormal glucose metabolism during antipsychotic treatment. We conducted a multicenter, prospective, cohort study in patients with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder. Of these patients, those with prediabetes or possible diabetes were excluded. Finally, 706 patients were included in the analysis. The hazard ratio (HR) for each factor was calculated for events of progression to hyperglycemia using time-dependent Cox regression analysis stratified according to facility type and adjusted for available background and drug-related factors. Treatments with olanzapine (HR = 2.06, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.05-4.05), clozapine (HR = 4.25, 95% CI = 1.56-11.60), and chlorpromazine (HR = 4.48, 95% CI = 1.21-16.57), overweight and obesity (HR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.02-2.41), and hypertriglyceridemia (HR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.02-2.88) were associated with a significantly higher occurrence of hyperglycemic progression. The number and daily dose of antipsychotics were not associated with their occurrence. Our study demonstrated that more careful monitoring is necessary during olanzapine, clozapine, and chlorpromazine treatment because of the higher occurrence of abnormalities in glucose metabolism. Furthermore, patients with obesity or hypertriglyceridemia warrant monitoring for the occurrence of abnormal glucose metabolism, regardless of the type of antipsychotic medication. - Inverse association between glucose variability and body fat in type 2 diabetes with impaired endogenous insulin secretion assessed using continuous glucose monitoring: A prospective observational study.

English, Scientific journal, AIM: To evaluate the contribution of body fat mass and serum adiponectin concentration to glucose variability (GV) stability in people with type 2 diabetes with impaired versus preserved endogenous insulin secretion. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This multicentre prospective observational study included 193 people with type 2 diabetes who underwent ambulatory continuous glucose monitoring, abdominal computed tomography and fasting blood sampling. A fasting C-peptide (FCP) concentration >2 ng/mL was defined as preserved endogenous insulin secretion. The participants were divided into high (FCP > 2 ng/mL) and low FCP subgroups (FCP ≤ 2 ng/mL). Multivariate regression analysis was performed in each subgroup. RESULTS: In the high FCP subgroup, the coefficient of variation (CV) in GV was unrelated to abdominal fat area. In the low FCP subgroup, a high CV was significantly related to small abdominal visceral fat area (β = -0.11, standard error 0.03; P < 0.05) and to small subcutaneous fat area (β = -0.09, standard error 0.04; P < 0.05). No significant relationship between serum adiponectin concentration and continuous glucose monitoring-related variables was found. CONCLUSIONS: The contribution of body fat mass to GV depends on the endogenous insulin secretion residue. A small body fat area has independent adverse effects on GV in people with type 2 diabetes and impaired endogenous insulin secretion. - Associations of COVID-19 symptoms with omicron subvariants BA.2 and BA.5, host status, and clinical outcomes in Japan: a registry-based observational study.

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination, coupled with the rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants, have modified COVID-19 clinical manifestations. We aimed to characterise the clinical symptoms of COVID-19 individuals in omicron BA.2 and BA.5 Japanese pandemic periods to identify omicron and subvariant associations between symptoms, immune status, and clinical outcomes. METHODS: In this registry-based observational study, individuals registered in Sapporo's web-based COVID-19 information system entered 12 pre-selected symptoms, days since symptom onset, vaccination history, SARS-CoV-2 infection history, and background. Eligibility criteria included symptomatic individuals who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 (PCR or antigen test), and individuals who were not tested for SARS-CoV-2 but developed new symptoms after a household member tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Symptom prevalence, variables associated with symptoms, and symptoms associated with progression to severe disease were analysed. FINDINGS: Data were collected and analysed between April 25 and Sept 25, 2022. For 157 861 omicron-infected symptomatic individuals, cough was the most common symptom (99 032 [62·7%] patients), followed by sore throat (95 838 [60·7%] patients), nasal discharge (69 968 [44·3%] patients), and fever (61 218 [38·8%] patients). Omicron BA.5 infection was associated with a higher prevalence of systemic symptoms than BA.2 in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals (adjusted odds ratio [OR] for fever: 2·18 [95% CI 2·12-2·25]). Omicron breakthrough-infected individuals with three or more vaccinations or previous infection were less likely to exhibit systemic symptoms (fever 0·50 [0·49-0·51]), but more likely to exhibit upper respiratory symptoms (sore throat 1·33 [1·29-1·36]; nasal discharge 1·84 [1·80-1·89]). Infected older individuals (≥65 years) had lower odds for all symptoms. However, when symptoms were manifest, systemic symptoms were associated with increased odds for severe disease (dyspnoea 3·01 [1·84-4·91]; fever 2·93 [1·89-4·52]), whereas upper respiratory symptoms were associated with decreased odds (sore throat 0·38 [0·24-0·63]; nasal discharge 0·48 [0·28-0·81]). INTERPRETATION: Host immunological status, omicron subvariant, and age were associated with a spectrum of COVID-19 symptoms and outcomes. BA.5 produced a higher systemic symptom prevalence than BA.2. Vaccination and previous infection reduced systemic symptom prevalence and improved outcomes but increased upper respiratory tract symptom prevalence. Systemic, but not upper respiratory, symptoms in older people heralded severe disease. Our findings could serve as a practical guide to use COVID-19 symptoms to appropriately modify health-care strategies and predict clinical outcomes for older patients with omicron infections.

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Long-term outcomes are unknown in patients with asymptomatic moyamoya disease. In this report, we aimed to clarify their 5-year risk of stroke and its predictors. METHODS: We are conducting a multicenter, prospective cohort study (Asymptomatic Moyamoya Registry) in Japan. Participants were eligible if they were 20 to 70 years, had bilateral or unilateral moyamoya disease, experienced no episodes suggestive of TIA and stroke; and were functionally independent (modified Rankin Scale score 0-1). Demographic and radiological information was collected at enrollment. In this study, they are still followed up for 10 years. In this interim analysis, we defined the primary end point as a stroke occurring during a 5-year follow-up period. Independent predictors for stroke were also determined, using a stratification analysis method. RESULTS: Between 2012 and 2015, we enrolled 109 patients, of whom 103 patients with 182 involved hemispheres completed the 5-year follow-up. According to the findings on DSA and MRA, 143 hemispheres were judged as moyamoya disease and 39 hemispheres as questionable manifestations (isolated middle cerebral artery stenosis). The patients with questionable hemispheres were significantly older, more often male, and more frequently had hypertension than those with moyamoya hemisphere. Moyamoya hemispheres developed 7 strokes, including 6 hemorrhagic and 1 ischemic stroke, during the first 5 years. The annual risk of stroke was 1.4% per person, 0.8% per hemisphere, and 1.0% per moyamoya hemisphere. Independent predictor for stroke was Grade-2 choroidal anastomosis (hazard ratio, 5.05 [95% CI, 1.24-20.6]; P=0.023). Furthermore, microbleeds (hazard ratio, 4.89 [95% CI, 1.13-21.3]; P=0.0342) and Grade-2 choroidal anastomosis (hazard ratio, 7.05 [95% CI, 1.62-30.7]; P=0.0093) significantly predicted hemorrhagic stroke. No questionable hemispheres developed any stroke. CONCLUSIONS: The hemispheres with asymptomatic moyamoya disease may carry a 1.0% annual risk of stroke during the first 5 years, the majority of which are hemorrhagic stroke. Grade-2 choroidal anastomosis may predict stroke, and the microbleeds and Grade-2 choroidal anastomosis may carry the risk for hemorrhagic stroke. REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.

Scientific journal, Abstract
We reviewed the outcomes of glioma patients enrolled in a prospective observational registry study of proton beam therapy (PBT) in Japan. The inclusion criteria were glioma patients registered in the Electronic Data Capture system, the Proton-net, between May 2016 and July 2019. Data on patient characteristics, treatments, late adverse events, survival status, recurrence and secondary tumors were extracted and statistically analyzed. The primary endpoint was the overall survival (OS) rate, and the secondary endpoints were the progression-free survival (PFS) rate and cumulative local recurrence rate (cLRR). Of the 65 primary brain tumor patients registered, 29 glioma patients from eight of 19 PBT facilities met the inclusion criteria. There were 19 glioblastoma patients, eight of other malignant gliomas, and two of low-grade gliomas. For glioblastomas, with a median follow-up period of 16 months, the median survival time was 21.2 months and the OS at 1, 2, 3 and 4 years were 77.4%, 44.9%, 23.9% and 23.9%, respectively. The median PFS period was 10.1 months, the 1, 2, 3 and 4-year PFS were 32.4%, 19.4%, 9.7% and 9.7%, respectively. The 1, 2, 3 and 4-year cLRR were 56.1%, 68.8%, 78.4 and 78.4%, respectively. Grade 3 brain necrosis was observed in two patients. No secondary tumor was observed. This is the first report on the current status of PBT for gliomas in Japan. For glioblastomas, the outcomes of PBT are estimated to be equivalent to historical data of photon therapy. The results of a prospective comparative evaluation of PBT and photon therapy are awaited. - Development and validation of the Care Transitions Scale for Patients with Heart Failure: A tool for nurses to assess patients' readiness for hospital discharge

English, BACKGROUND: Previous SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccination, coupled to rapid evolution of SARS-CoV-2 variants, have modified COVID-19 clinical manifestations. We characterized clinical symptoms of COVID-19 individuals in omicron BA.2 and BA.5 Japanese pandemic periods to identify omicron and subvariant associations between symptoms, immune status, and clinical outcomes. METHODS: Individuals registered in Sapporo's web-based COVID-19 information system entered 12 pre-selected symptoms, days since symptom onset, vaccination history, SARS-CoV-2 infection history, and background. Symptom frequencies, variables associated with symptoms, and symptoms associated with progression to severe disease were analysed. RESULTS: For all omicron-infected individuals, cough was the most common symptom (62.7%), followed by sore throat (60.7%), nasal discharge (44.3%), and fever (38.8%). Omicron BA.5 infection was associated with a higher symptom burden than BA.2 in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. Omicron breakthrough-infected individuals with ≥ 3 vaccinations or previous infection were less likely to exhibit systemic symptoms, but more likely to exhibit upper respiratory symptoms. Infected elderly individuals had lower odds for all symptoms, but, when symptoms were manifest, systemic symptoms were associated with an increased risk, whereas upper respiratory symptoms with a decreased risk, of severe disease. CONCLUSION: Host immunological status, omicron subvariant, and age were associated with a spectrum of COVID-19 symptoms and outcomes. BA.5 produced a greater symptom burden than BA.2. Vaccination and prior infection mitigated systemic symptoms and improved outcomes, but increased upper respiratory tract symptom burden. Systemic, but not upper respiratory, symptoms in the elderly heralded severe disease. - Protocol for treating lumbar spinal canal stenosis with a combination of ultrapurified, allogenic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and in situ-forming gel: a multicentre, prospective, double-blind randomised controlled trial.

English, Scientific journal, INTRODUCTION: In patients with combined lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LSCS), a herniated intervertebral disc (IVD) that compresses the dura mater and nerve roots is surgically treated with discectomy after laminoplasty. However, defects in the IVD after discectomy may lead to inadequate tissue healing and predispose patients to the development of IVD degeneration. Ultrapurified stem cells (rapidly expanding clones (RECs)), combined with an in situ-forming bioresorbable gel (dMD-001), have been developed to fill IVD defects and prevent IVD degeneration after discectomy. We aim to investigate the safety and efficacy of a new treatment method in which a combination of REC and dMD-001 is implanted into the IVD of patients with combined LSCS. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a multicentre, prospective, double-blind randomised controlled trial. Forty-five participants aged 20-75 years diagnosed with combined LSCS will be assessed for eligibility. After performing laminoplasty and discectomy, participants will be randomised 1:1:1 into the combination of REC and dMD-001 (REC-dMD-001) group, the dMD-001 group or the laminoplasty and discectomy alone (control) group. The primary outcomes of the trial will be the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. The effectiveness will be assessed using visual analogue scale scores of back pain and leg pain as well as MRI-based estimations of morphological and compositional quality of the IVD tissue. Secondary outcomes will include self-assessed clinical scores and other MRI-based estimations of compositional quality of the IVD tissue. All evaluations will be performed at baseline and at 1, 4, 12, 24 and 48 weeks after surgery. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study was approved by the ethics committees of the institutions involved. We plan to conduct dissemination of the outcome data by presenting our data at national and international conferences, as well as through formal publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

English, Scientific journal, PURPOSE: Remimazolam is a new ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine with unknown effects on cerebral circulation. We measured total cerebral hemoglobin concentrations, which reflect cerebral blood volume (CBV), and cerebral oxygen saturation, using time-domain near-infrared spectroscopy, which can measure the absolute values of cerebral hemoglobin concentrations. We also measured cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) in the middle cerebral artery using transcranial Doppler as an indicator of cerebral blood flow (CBF). We did so to examine the effect of remimazolam on cerebral circulation in humans, as assessed CBV, CBF, and cerebral oxygen saturation. METHODS: This was a prospective, observational study. Fifteen patients without serious complications scheduled for general anesthesia were recruited. We measured total cerebral hemoglobin concentrations, CBFV, and cerebral oxygen saturation throughout the anesthetic induction course with remimazolam. RESULTS: Total cerebral hemoglobin concentrations did not change during the process (p = 0.51). In contrast, the mean CBFV was reduced by 11% (significant, p = 0.04). The drop in mean blood pressure following the induction of anesthesia was 17%; however, it was within the range of cerebrovascular autoregulation. Moreover, cerebral oxygen saturation increased by 4% (statistically significant, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: We found that anesthetic induction with remimazolam did not alter CBV and reduced CBF in uncomplicated patients. - Distribution of human papilloma virus genotypes and treatment outcomes in definitive radiotherapy for cervical cancer.

English, Scientific journal, Most oncogenic human papilloma virus (HPV) genotypes stratify into two species, α-7 HPV and α-9 HPV. There are several studies that evaluate the relationship between HPV species and treatment outcomes and reports that HPV species is prognostic. The HPV genotyping was conducted using biopsy specimens which had been stored in these studies. We conducted the study using the HPV test performed by cytology specimens which is less invasive and more useful in clinical settings. This study enrolled 46 patients who received HPV genotyping before the definitive radiotherapy. The results of the HPV genotyping were classified into HPVα-7, HPVα-9 and negatives. Of the 46 patients, 10 were positive for HPVα-7, 21 positive for HPVα-9 and 15 were negative. The median follow-up period was 38 months (range 4-142). The HPVα-7, HPVα-9 and negative groups showed the 3-year overall survival (OS; 59.3%, 80.4% and 72.2% [P = 0.25]); local control (LC; 67.5%, 81% and 80% [P = 0.78]); pelvic control (PC) (50%, 81% and 72.7% [P = 0.032]); pelvic lymph node (PLN) control (78.7%, 95% and 92.3% [P = 0.012]); distant metastasis free (DMF) survival (50%, 75.4% and 42.8% [P = 0.098]); and progression free survival (PFS) rate of patients (30%, 66.7% and 38.9% [P = 0.085]), respectively. Patients with HPVα-7 showed statistically significant poorer PC than the HPVα-9 group, in multivariate analysis. This result is consistent with previous studies for HPV positive patients. The HPV negativity rate was higher in this study than in other studies and further work on this may be needed for clinical use. - Relationships of computed tomography-based small vessel indices of the lungs with ventilation heterogeneity and high transfer coefficients in non-smokers with asthma.

English, Scientific journal, Background: The mechanism of high transfer coefficients of the lungs for carbon monoxide (Kco) in non-smokers with asthma is explained by the redistribution of blood flow to the area with preserved ventilation, to match the ventilation perfusion. Objectives: To examine whether ventilation heterogeneity, assessed by pulmonary function tests, is associated with computed tomography (CT)-based vascular indices and Kco in patients with asthma. Methods: Participants were enrolled from the Hokkaido-based Investigative Cohort Analysis for Refractory Asthma (Hi-CARAT) study that included a prospective asthmatic cohort. Pulmonary function tests including Kco, using single breath methods; total lung capacity (TLC), using multiple breath methods; and CT, were performed on the same day. The ratio of the lung volume assessed using single breath methods (alveolar volume; VA) to that using multiple breath methods (TLC) was calculated as an index of ventilation heterogeneity. The volume of the pulmonary small vessels <5 mm2 in the whole lung (BV5 volume), and number of BV5 at a theoretical surface area of the lungs from the plural surface (BV5 number) were evaluated using chest CT images. Results: The low VA/TLC group (the lowest quartile) had significantly lower BV5 number, BV5 volume, higher BV5 volume/BV5 number, and higher Kco compared to the high VA/TLC group (the highest quartile) in 117 non-smokers, but not in 67 smokers. Multivariable analysis showed that low VA/TLC was associated with low BV5 number, after adjusting for age, sex, weight, lung volume on CT, and CT emphysema index in non-smokers (not in smokers). Conclusion: Ventilation heterogeneity may be associated with low BV5 number and high Kco in non-smokers (not in smokers). Future studies need to determine the dynamic regional system in ventilation, perfusion, and diffusion in asthma. - Validation of the Japanese version of the Body Image Scale for bladder cancer patients.

English, Scientific journal, The Body Image Scale (BIS) is a 10-item tool that measures the body images of cancer patients. This study aims to validate the Japanese version of the BIS for bladder cancer patients. A multicenter cross-sectional survey was used to identify the participants, which included Japanese bladder cancer patients. The percentage of missing responses, internal consistency, and known-group validity were evaluated. The correlations between the BIS and two HRQOL instruments (the Bladder Cancer Index and the SF-12) were assessed to determine convergent validity. Among 397 patients, 221 patients were treated by transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) endoscopically, 49 patients underwent cystectomy with neobladder, and 127 patients underwent cystectomy involving stoma. The percentage of missing responses in the BIS ranged from 8.1 to 15.6%. Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.924. Higher BIS scores indicate negative body image, and the median BIS score for patients with native bladders after TURBT (0.5) was significantly lower than those of the patients with neobladder (4.0) and stoma formation (7.0), which indicated the discriminatory ability of the BIS. Each domain of the Bladder Cancer Index and the role summary score of the SF-12 correlated to the BIS scores, which confirmed the convergent validity. A range of BIS scores were identified among patients who reported similar physical summary scores and mental summary scores of the SF-12. This study confirmed the reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the BIS for bladder cancer patients. - Changes in Cerebral Hemodynamics During Systemic Pulmonary Shunt and Pulmonary Artery Banding in Infants with Congenital Heart Disease.

English, Scientific journal, Palliative surgery is often performed in the treatment of congenital heart disease. Two representative palliative procedures are the systemic pulmonary shunt and pulmonary artery banding. Dramatic changes in cerebral hemodynamics may occur in these operations due to changes in the pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio and systemic oxygenation. However, there seem to be almost no studies evaluating them. Accordingly, we evaluated cerebral perfusion by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography and cerebral oxygenation by near infrared spectroscopy during these procedures. In the post hoc analysis of a previous prospective observational study, cerebral blood flow velocities of the middle cerebral artery measured by transcranial Doppler were compared between the start and end of surgery as were the pulsatility index and resistance index. The cerebral oxygenation values were also compared between the start and end of surgery. Twenty-two infants with systemic pulmonary shunt and 20 infants with pulmonary artery banding were evaluated. There were no significant differences of the flow velocities between the start and end of surgery in either procedure. The pulsatility index significantly increased after pulmonary artery banding, which may compete with the increase in cerebral perfusion due to the increase in systemic blood flow. The cerebral oxygenation decreased in both procedures, possibly due to an increase in body temperature. Arterial oxygen saturation was almost the same before and after both procedures. Contrary to our expectation, the changes in cerebral hemodynamics in the palliative operations were small if the management of physiological indices such as arterial oxygen saturation was properly performed during the procedures. - Phase II Study of Ramucirumab Plus Irinotecan Combination Therapy as Second-Line Treatment in Patients with Advanced Gastric Cancer: HGCSG1603.

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Ramucirumab is a human IgG1 monoclonal vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 antibody that inhibits tumor cell growth and affects the tumor cell microenvironment. We assessed the efficacy and safety of ramucirumab plus irinotecan combination therapy as second-line treatment in patients with previously treated advanced gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with advanced gastric cancer refractory or intolerant to primary chemotherapy were included. Ramucirumab 8 mg/kg plus irinotecan 150 mg/m2 combination therapy was administered every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival rate at 6 months and secondary endpoints were overall survival, progression-free survival, response rate, safety, and dose intensity for each drug. RESULTS: Thirty-five patients were enrolled between January 2018 and September 2019. The progression-free survival rate at 6 months was 26.5% [95%CI, 13.2%-41.8%, P = .1353)]. Median progression-free and overall survivals were 4.2 months (95%CI, 2.5-5.4 months) and 9.6 months (95%CI, 6.4-16.6 months), respectively. The overall response rate was 25.9% (95%CI, 11.1-36.3%) and disease control rate was 85.2% (95%CI, 66.3-95.8%). Grade ≥3 adverse events that occurred in >10% of patients included neutropenia, leucopenia, anemia, anorexia, and febrile neutropenia. No death or new safety signals with a causal relation to the study treatment were observed. CONCLUSION: Although the primary endpoint was not achieved statistically, combination therapy of ramucirumab plus irinotecan showed anticancer activity and a manageable safety profile for second-line treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer. - Salivary Biomarker Profiles and Chronic Fatigue among Nurses Working Rotation Shifts: An Exploratory Pilot Study

English, Scientific journal, Although nurses' fatigue affects their well-being and patient safety, no effective objective measurements exist. We explored the profiles of salivary biomarkers associated with nurses' chronic fatigue across several shifts. This longitudinal study involved 45 shiftwork nurses and collected their saliva samples before two night and two day shifts for a month. Chronic fatigue was measured using the Cumulative Fatigue Symptom Index before the first night shift. Biomarker profiles were analyzed using hierarchical cluster analysis, and chronic fatigue levels were compared between the profiles. Cortisol profiles were classified into high- and low-level groups across two day shifts; the low-level group presented significantly higher irritability and unwillingness to work. Secretory immunoglobulin A (s-IgA) profiles across the four shifts were classified into high- and low-level groups; the high-level group had significantly higher depressive feelings, decreased vitality, irritability, and unwillingness to work. Cortisol (two day shifts) and s-IgA (four shifts) profiles were combined, and (i) cortisol low-level and s-IgA high-level and (ii) cortisol high-level and s-IgA low-level groups were identified. The former group had significantly higher chronic fatigue sign and irritability than the latter group. The profiles of salivary cortisol and s-IgA across several shifts were associated with nurses' chronic fatigue. - Intravenous Infusion of Autoserum-Expanded Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Patients With Chronic Brain Injury: Protocol for a Phase 2 Trial

Scientific journal, Background
Brain injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents and falls, as well as hypoxic insults and other conditions, are one of the leading causes of disability and death in the world. Current treatments are limited but include continuous rehabilitation, especially for chronic brain injury. Recent studies have demonstrated that the intravenous infusion of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has therapeutic efficacy for several neurological diseases, including stroke and spinal cord injury.
Objective
The objective of our investigator-initiated clinical trial is to assess the safety and potential efficacy of the intravenous infusion of autoserum-expanded autologous MSCs for patients with chronic brain injury.
Methods
The (phase 2) trial will be a single-arm, open-label trial with the primary objective of confirming the safety and efficacy of autoserum-expanded autologous MSCs (STR-01; produced under good manufacturing practices) when administered to patients with chronic brain injury. The estimated number of enrolled participants is 6 to 20 patients with a modified Rankin Scale grade of 3 to 5. The assessment of safety and the proportion of cases in which the modified Rankin Scale grade improves by 1 point or more at 180 days after the injection of STR-01 will be performed after MSC infusion.
Results
We received approval for our clinical trial from the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency on December 12, 2017. The trial will be completed on June 11, 2023. The registration term is 5 years. The recruitment of the patients for this trial started on April 20, 2018, at Sapporo Medical University Hospital in Japan.
Conclusions
Our phase 2 study will aim to address the safety and efficacy of the intravenous infusion of MSCs for patients with chronic brain injury. The use of STR-01 has been performed for patients with cerebral infarction and spinal cord injury, providing encouraging results. The potential therapeutic efficacy of the systemic administration of autoserum-expanded autologous MSCs for chronic brain injury should be evaluated, given its safety and promising results for stroke and spinal cord injury.

English, Scientific journal, INTRODUCTION: Club cell secretory protein-16 (CC16) is a major anti-inflammatory protein expressed in the airway; however, the potential role of CC16 on overweight/obese asthma has not been assessed. In this study, we examined whether obesity reduces airway/circulatory CC16 levels using experimental and epidemiological studies. Then, we explored the mediatory role of CC16 in the relationship of overweight/obesity with clinical asthma measures. METHODS: Circulating CC16 levels were assessed by ELISA in three independent human populations, including two groups of healthy and general populations and asthma patients. The percentage of cells expressing club markers in obese vs. non-obese mice and human airways was determined by immunohistochemistry. A causal mediation analysis was conducted to determine whether circulatory CC16 acted as a mediator between overweight/obesity and clinical asthma measures. RESULTS: BMI was significantly and monotonously associated with reduced circulating CC16 levels in all populations. The percentage of CC16-expressing cells was reduced in the small airways of both mice and humans with obesity. Finally, mediation analysis revealed significant contributions of circulatory CC16 in the association between BMI and clinical asthma measures; 21.8% of its total effect in BMI's association with airway hyperresponsiveness of healthy subjects (p = 0.09), 26.4% with asthma severity (p = 0.030), and 23% with the required dose of inhaled corticosteroid (p = 0.042). In logistic regression analysis, 1-SD decrease in serum CC16 levels of asthma patients was associated with 87% increased odds for high dose ICS requirement (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate that airway/circulating CC16, which is inversely associated with BMI, may mediate development and severity in overweight/obese asthma. - HOPS-R01 phase II trial evaluating neoadjuvant S-1 therapy for resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

English, Scientific journal, Although neoadjuvant therapy (Nac) is recommended for high-risk resectable pancreatic cancer (R-PDAC), evidence regarding specific regimes is scarce. This report aimed to investigate the efficacy of S-1 Nac for R-PDAC. In a multicenter phase II trial, we investigated the efficacy of Nac S-1 (an oral fluoropyrimidine agent containing tegafur, gimeracil, and oteracil potassium) in R-PDAC patients. The protocol involved two cycles of preoperative S-1 chemotherapy, followed by surgery, and four cycles of postoperative S-1 chemotherapy. Two-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates were the primary endpoint. Overall survival (OS) rates and median survival time (MST) were secondary endpoints. Forty-nine patients were eligible, and 31 patients underwent resection following Nac, as per protocol (31/49; 63.3%). Per-protocol analysis included data from 31 patients, yielding the 2-year PFS rate of 58.1%, and 2-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates of 96.8%, 54.8%, and 44.0%, respectively. MST was 49.2 months. Intention-to-treat analysis involved 49 patients, yielding the 2-year PFS rate of 40.8%, and the 2-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates of 87.8%, 46.9%, and 33.9%, respectively. MST was 35.5 months. S-1 single regimen might be an option for Nac in R-PDAC; however, the high drop-out rate (36.7%) was a limitation of this study. - Frequency-Response Relationship Between Exercise and Locomotive Syndrome Across Age Groups: Secondary Analysis of a Nationwide Cross-Sectional Study in Japan.

English, Scientific journal, OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to clarify the frequency-response relationship between exercise habits and locomotive syndrome in different age groups. METHODS: We analyzed 8,681 independent community dwellers who participated in a nationwide cross-sectional locomotive syndrome study. Participants were divided into young (20-39 years), middle (40-64 years), and old (≥ 65 years) groups. The presence of locomotive syndrome was evaluated using the locomotive syndrome risk tests. Exercise habits were assessed by exercise frequency (almost every day/sometimes/occasionally/never). The association between locomotive syndrome and exercise was assessed using the multiple logistic regression analysis adjusted for participant characteristics for each age category. RESULTS: Overall, 3,528 (41%) participants had locomotive syndrome. In the old group, the risk of locomotive syndrome was lower with an increased exercise frequency. However, this dose-response relationship was not found in the young group. The proportion of locomotive syndrome was lower even in participants who occasionally exercised (1-3 days/month) than those who never exercise in the young and middle age groups. CONCLUSIONS: Regular exercise reduced the risk of locomotive syndrome not only in middle and older adults but also in young adults. Moreover, increasing exercise frequency may provide benefits for locomotive syndrome prevention, especially among older adults. - Phase II study of niraparib in recurrent or persistent rare fraction of gynecologic malignancies with homologous recombination deficiency (JGOG2052).

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Poly (adenosine diphosphate)-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for tumors with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), including pathogenic mutations in BRCA1/2, have been developed. Genomic analysis revealed that about 20% of uterine leiomyosarcoma (uLMS) have HRD, including 7.5%-10% of BRCA1/2 alterations and 4%-6% of carcinomas of the uterine corpus, and 2.5%-4% of the uterine cervix have alterations of BRCA1/2. Preclinical and clinical case reports suggest that PARP inhibitors may be effective against those targets. The Japanese Gynecologic Oncology Group (JGOG) is now planning to conduct a new investigator-initiated clinical trial, JGOG2052. METHODS: JGOG2052 is a single-arm, open-label, multi-center, phase 2 clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of niraparib monotherapy for a recurrent or persistent rare fraction of gynecologic malignancies with BRCA1/2 mutations except for ovarian cancers. We will independently consider the effect of niraparib for uLMS or other gynecologic malignancies with BRCA1/2 mutations (cohort A, C) and HRD positive uLMS without BRCA1/2 mutations (cohort B). Participants must have 1-3 lines of previous chemotherapy and at least one measurable lesion according to RECIST (v.1.1). Niraparib will be orally administered once a day until lesion exacerbation or unacceptable adverse events occur. Efficacy will be evaluated by imaging through an additional computed tomography scan every 8 weeks. Safety will be measured weekly in cycle 1 and every 4 weeks after cycle 2 by blood tests and physical examinations. The sample size is 16-20 in each of cohort A and B, and 31 in cohort C. Primary endpoint is the objective response rate.

English, Scientific journal, The objective of this study is to clarify the clinical features and risk factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We retrospectively reviewed the prevalence of VTE in RA patients who visited Hokkaido University Hospital from 2010 to 2019 and had more than 2 years of follow-up. To explore the risk to develop VTE, we selected 260 RA patients without VTE (non-VTE) via density sampling and identified the risk factors for VTE by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Univariate conditional logistic regression analysis showed older age (p < 0.0001, Odds Ratio [OR] 1.08, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.04-1.14), increase of the body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.001, OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.06-1.31), higher prevalence of RA-associated lung disease (p = 0.002, OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.33-3.30) and more frequent glucocorticoid usage (p = 0.001, OR 2.09, 95% CI 1.34-3.51) in RA patients was associated with the development of VTE significantly. Furthermore, patients with higher time-averaged disease activity score 28 (DAS28) CRP were at elevated risk (p < 0.0001, OR 3.25, 95% CI 1.94-6.12). In conditional multivariate logistic regression analysis, time averaged DAS28CRP was significantly associated with the development of VTE (p = 0.0001, adjusted OR 3.40, 95% CI 1.77-7.85). Disease activity was identified as a major risk factor of VTE in patients with RA, suggesting that sustained clinical remission could be beneficial for decrease the risk of VTE. - 難治性喘息 重症喘息における生物学的製剤の変更に影響する因子の検討

English, Scientific journal, PURPOSE: To evaluate the dosimetric advantages of daily adaptive radiotherapy (DART) in intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) for high-risk prostate cancer by comparing estimated doses of the conventional non-adaptive radiotherapy (NART) that irradiates according to an original treatment plan through the entire treatment and the DART that uses an adaptive treatment plan generated by using daily CT images acquired before each treatment. METHODS: Twenty-three patients with prostate cancer were included. A treatment plan with 63 Gy (relative biological effectiveness (RBE)) in 21 fractions was generated using treatment planning computed tomography (CT) images assuming that all patients had high-risk prostate cancer for which the clinical target volume (CTV) needs to include prostate and the seminal vesicle (SV) in our treatment protocol. Twenty-one adaptive treatment plans for each patient (total 483 data sets) were generated using daily CT images, and dose distributions were calculated. Using a 3 mm set-up uncertainty in the robust optimization, the doses to the CTV, prostate, SV, rectum, and bladder were compared. RESULTS: Estimated accumulated doses of NART and DART in the 23 patients were 60.81 ± 3.47 Gy (RBE) and 63.24 ± 1.04 Gy (RBE) for CTV D99 (p < 0.01), 62.99 ± 1.28 Gy (RBE) and 63.43 ± 1.33 Gy (RBE) for the prostate D99 (p = 0.2529), and 59.07 ± 5.19 Gy (RBE) and 63.17 ± 1.04 Gy (RBE) for SV D99 (p < 0.001). No significant differences were observed between NART and DART in the estimated accumulated dose for the rectum and bladder. CONCLUSION: Compared with the NART, DART was shown to be a useful approach that can maintain the dose coverage to the target without increasing the dose to the organs at risk (OAR) using the 3 mm set-up uncertainty in the robust optimization in patients with high-risk prostate cancer. - Psychometric properties of the Japanese version of the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery Scale among shift-work nurses.

English, Scientific journal, OBJECTIVES: Shift-work nurses are at a higher risk of inadequate recovery from fatigue and developing maladaptive fatigue with significant health consequences. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor fatigue and recovery levels with a reliable scale. We investigated psychometric properties of the Japanese version of the Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery scale (OFER-J) for shift-work nurses. METHODS: Japanese shift-work nurses responded to self-administered questionnaires at baseline (n = 942) and one month later (n = 334). The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) were conducted to verify the structural validity and the correlation analysis and one-way analysis of variance were conducted to test the construct and discriminative validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficient, intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), and smallest detectable change (SDC) were calculated to assess reliability. RESULTS: The CFA showed high correlations between the factors and whilst the goodness-of-fit of the three-factor model was suboptimal, it was in an acceptable range. Most modifications included the error covariance of the Acute Fatigue (AF) and Intershift Recovery (IR) items. The EFA showed that Chronic Fatigue (CF) and AF were not clearly separated, indicating that the two AF items dropped out. Construct and discriminative validity were also well indicated. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.75-0.85. Only CF showed sufficient reproductivity (ICC = 0.74). The SDC for CF, AF, and IR was 14.0, 17.1, and 18.7, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The validity and reliability of the OFER-J were verified as acceptable for shift-work nurses. The OFER-J could contribute to a data-based approach to fatigue management in nursing management practice. - Clinical Characteristics of Patients and Factors Associated with Switching Biologics in Asthma.

Journal of asthma and allergy, 15, 187, 195, 2022, [International Magazine]
English, Scientific journal, Purpose: Biologics have been used increasingly for the treatment of severe asthma. However, established guidelines for the selection, switching, or discontinuation of biologics do not exist. We aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of patients with asthma who required switching biologics and the factors associated with switching biologics. Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective study of 42 patients with severe asthma treated with biologics at the Hokkaido University Hospital between 23rd June 2016 and 30th April 2021, when two biologics were available in Japan. We compared the characteristics of subjects who continued and switched biologics. The time to switch the biologics was assessed by type 2 inflammatory biomarkers, pulmonary function indices, and the presence of comorbidities, including the Japanese Epidemiological Survey of Refractory Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis (JESREC) score and aspirin exacerbated respiratory diseases (AERD), using the Kaplan-Meier method and a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model. Results: Eight and five patients were treated by mepolizumab and benralizumab at baseline, respectively among the 31% (13/42) who switched the biologics. Subjects who required switching biologics were characterized by high blood eosinophil counts, younger age, JESREC scores of 11 points or higher, and AERD. The time taken to switch biologics was significantly shorter in the subgroups with high JESREC scores (≥11) or AERD, compared with their counterparts with low JESREC scores or without AERD (both, P < 0.05). JESREC scores of ≥11, but not the presence of AERD, were associated with time to switch biologics. Conclusion: The presence of eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis based on JESREC scores of ≥11 and younger age were factors associated with switching biologics in asthma. - Factors associated with mobility decrease leading to disability: a cross-sectional nationwide study in Japan, with results from 8681 adults aged 20-89 years.

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Mobility decrease leading to disability can gradually develop during early life, however, its related factors are not well clarified. Therefore, we investigate the related factors of mobility decrease at various levels, using nationwide data in Japan. METHODS: In total, 8681 independent community dwellers aged 20-89 years were analysed (average age, 51.6 years; 58.5% women). Three stages of mobility decrease were based on the locomotive syndrome risk test: Stage 1, emerging; Stage 2, progressing; Stage 3, progressed to restrict social engagement. Age was analysed using a simple quadratic function model. RESULTS: The prevalence of Stages 1-3 was 31.6% (n = 2746), 5.8% (n = 504), and 3.2% (n = 278), respectively. On the multivariable logistic regression, increased age in participants aged ≥40 years (stage 1: odds ratio[OR] 1.05-1.20, stage 2: OR 1.04-1.22, stage 3: OR 1.05-1.22), female (stage 1: OR 2.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.99-2.61, stage 2: OR 2.40, 95% CI 1.77-3.25, stage 3: OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.19-2.72), overweight status (stage 1: OR 1.56, 95% CI 1.34-1.82, stage 2: OR 3.19, 95% CI 2.38-4.27, stage 3: OR 2.87, 95% CI 1.90-4.32), hypertension (stage 1: OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.01-1.41, stage 2: OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.49-2.64, stage 3: OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.44-3.05), and diabetes mellitus (stage 1: OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.17-2.24, stage 2: OR 1.57, 95% CI 0.93-2.66, stage 3: OR 2.10, 95% CI 1.13-3.90) were positively associated. The frequency of physical activity/sports, even a few per month, was inversely associated with all stages (stage 1: OR 0.59-0.72, stage 2: OR 0.50-0.67, stage 3: 0.36-0.53). A one-year increase in age had a stronger impact on mobility decrease in older adults than in younger ones. Increased age in participants aged < 40 years and smoking were associated with Stage 1, while intake of various foods was inversely associated with Stages 1 and 2. CONCLUSION: Increased age (< 40 years) was associated with emerging mobility decrease, while that (≥ 40 years) was associated with any levels of mobility decrease. Female, lifestyle habits, including physical activities and overweight status, were associated with mobility decrease at every level. - Particle therapy using protons or carbon ions for cancer patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED): a retrospective multi-institutional study.

English, Scientific journal, PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcomes of particle therapy in cancer patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). MATERIALS AND METHODS: From April 2001 to March 2013, 19,585 patients were treated with proton beam therapy (PBT) or carbon ion therapy (CIT) at 8 institutions. Of these, 69 patients (0.4%, PBT 46, CIT 22, and PBT + CIT 1) with CIEDs (64 pacemakers, 4 implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and 1 with a cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator) were retrospectively reviewed. All the patients with CIEDs in this study were treated with the passive scattering type of particle beam therapy. RESULTS: Six (13%) of the 47 PBT patients, and none of the 23 CIT patients experienced CIED malfunctions (p = 0.105). Electrical resets (7) and over-sensing (3) occurred transiently in 6 patients. The distance between the edge of the irradiation field and the CIED was not associated with the incidence of malfunctions in 20 patients with lung cancer. A larger field size had a higher event rate but the test to evaluate trends as not statistically significant (p = 0.196). CONCLUSION: Differences in the frequency of occurrence of device malfunctions for patients treated with PBT and patients treated with CIT did not reach statistical significance. The present study can be regarded as a benchmark study about the incidence of malfunctioning of CIED in passive scattering particle beam therapy and can be used as a reference for active scanning particle beam therapy. - Development and validation of a prediction model based on the organ-based metabolic tumor volume on FDG-PET in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

English, Scientific journal, This study aimed to develop a questionnaire on the quality of working life among female medical and healthcare professionals and examine its validity and reliability. The questionnaire was developed from an item pool drawing on the literature. The four trait scales included 40 items, covering female-specific stress in continuing a career, stress of lifestyle in maintaining personal values, job satisfaction and social support network. The questionnaire's validity and reliability were assessed using data from 1,784 female doctors, dentists, and nurses. Validity was examined using exploratory factor analysis on each trait for construct validity, and multitrait scaling analysis for convergent and discriminant validity. Reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha for trait subscales and scales. Exploratory factor analysis on each trait was convergent. One trait derived three subscales, and another two. The remaining two traits were convergent for one factor. Multitrait scaling analysis showed that all scales and subscales were independent. The questionnaire was therefore internally consistent and had construct validity. Cronbach's alpha was 0.85 for the total and between 0.72 and 0.83 for the subscales. These results validate the four-trait combination questionnaire and suggest that it would be suitable for use in future research, perhaps in combination with other existing scales. - Elevated serum CYFRA 21-1 level as a diagnostic marker for thymic carcinoma.

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: No useful tumor markers have been identified for the diagnosis of thymic carcinomas. Serum cytokeratin 19 fragment, measured using the CYFRA 21-1 immunoassay, is used as a tumor marker for squamous cell carcinomas in various malignant tumors. Here, we evaluated the value of CYFRA 21-1 in diagnosing thymic carcinoma. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 94 patients with pathological diagnoses of thymic carcinoma or thymoma (32 and 62 patients, respectively) who were referred to our departments between January 2000 and March 2019. Primary outcomes included tumor marker levels and their diagnostic accuracy. RESULTS: Patients with thymic carcinoma were significantly more likely to be male (thymic carcinoma, 68.8%; thymoma, 40.3%; p = 0.02), have an advanced TNM stage (p < 0.01), and a significantly higher CYFRA 21-1 level than those with thymoma (thymic carcinoma: median = 4.2 ng/ml; interquartile range [IQR] = 2.1-6.1 ng/ml vs. thymoma: median = 1.2 ng/ml; IQR = 0.9-1.7 ng/ml; p < 0.01). Receiver operating characteristic curves demonstrated that the area under the curve for CYFRA 21-1 to distinguish thymic carcinoma from thymoma was 0.86 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.74-0.93; cutoff = 2.7 ng/ml; sensitivity = 68.8%; specificity = 95.2%). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that CYFRA 21-1 (odds ratio = 25.6; 95% CI: 4.6-141.6; p < 0.01) was an independent predictor for thymic carcinoma after adjusting for TNM stage. CONCLUSIONS: Serum CYFRA 21-1 level may help in diagnosing thymic carcinoma. - Association of abdominal visceral adiposity with sputum IL-5 levels in asthma.

English, Scientific journal, OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for significant blood loss (SBL) in cervical laminoplasty, especially regarding thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy resulting from non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS: We retrospectively investigated differences in patient background data, laboratory data at the time of admission, and surgery-related data of 317 patients who underwent cervical laminoplasty and were divided into SBL (estimated blood loss [EBL] + drainage [D] ≥500 g) and non-SBL (EBL + D < 500 g) groups. To evaluate liver status, we used the fibrous 4 index and considered fibrous 4 index ≥1.85 as a representative phenotype for NAFLD with liver fibrosis. In addition, the risk factor for perioperative SBL was investigated using multiple logistic regression analysis, and the cutoff value was calculated. RESULTS: Incidence of perioperative SBL in cervical laminoplasty was 7.3% (23/317). Compared with the non-SBL group, the SBL group demonstrated significantly lower platelet count (PLT), lower aspartate aminotransferase, longer operation time, and greater number of opened laminae. According to multivariate analysis, lower PLT and a greater number of opened laminae were identified as significant risk factors for perioperative SBL. The cutoff value of PLT for predicting SBL was determined to be 16.7 × 104/μL using a receiver operating characteristic curve. The liver fibrosis group revealed significantly lower PLT and greater EBL + D than the non-liver fibrosis group. CONCLUSIONS: Thrombocytopenia is an independent predictor of perioperative SBL in cervical laminoplasty. Thus, patients with mild thrombocytopenia that may be associated with NAFLD must be carefully monitored to avoid perioperative SBL. - Work environment for hospital nurses in Japan: The relationships between nurses' perceptions of their work environment and nursing outcomes.

English, Scientific journal, Herniated nucleus pulposus (NP), one of the most common diseases of the spine, is surgically treated by removing the sequestered NP. However, intervertebral disc (IVD) defects may remain after discectomy, leading to inadequate tissue healing and predisposing patients to IVD degeneration. An acellular, bioresorbable, ultra-purified alginate (UPAL) gel (dMD-001) implantation system can be used to fill any IVD defects in order to prevent IVD degeneration after discectomy. This first-in-human pilot study aims to determine the feasibility, safety, and perceived patient response to a combined treatment involving discectomy and UPAL gel implantation for herniated NP. We designed a one-arm, double-centre, open-label, pilot trial. The study started in November 2018 and will run until a sample of 40 suitable participants is established. Patients aged 20-49 years, diagnosed with isolated lumbar IVD herniation and scheduled for discectomy represent suitable candidates. All eligible participants who provide informed consent undergo standard discectomy followed by UPAL gel implantation. The primary outcomes of the trial will be the feasibility and safety of the procedure. Secondary outcomes will include self-assessed clinical scores and magnetic resonance imaging-based measures of morphological and compositional quality of the IVD tissue. Initial outcomes will be published at 24 weeks. Analysis of feasibility and safety will be performed using descriptive statistics. Both intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses of treatment trends of effectiveness will be conducted. - Close association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine.

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Dietary calcium has been proposed to reduce appetite in human studies. Postprandial satiety is mainly controlled by gut hormones. However, the effect of calcium on appetite and the role of gut hormones remain unclear. OBJECTIVES: We examined whether oral administration of calcium reduces food intake in rats and investigated the underlying mechanism. METHODS: Male Sprague Dawley rats (8-12 wk old) were used after an overnight fastifffng. In a series of 2 trials with 1-wk interval between challenges, food intake was measured 0.5-24 h after oral gavage of a vehicle (saline containing 1.5% carboxymethyl cellulose) as the control treatment, or the vehicle containing various calcium compounds [calcium chloride (CaCl2), calcium carbonate, calcium lactate, in a random order] at 150 mg calcium/kg dose. A conditional taste aversion test was conducted. In separate experiments, plasma calcium and gut hormone concentrations were measured 15 or 30 min after oral administration of the calcium compounds. In anesthetized rats, portal peptide-YY (PYY) concentrations were measured after intraluminal administration of a liquid meal with or without additional calcium. RESULTS: Oral CaCl2 reduced food intake acutely (30 min, ∼20%, P < 0.05) compared with control rats, without taste aversion. Plasma PYY concentration was higher (100%, P < 0.05) in CaCl2-preloaded rats than in control rats, 15 min after administration. In anesthetized rats, luminal meal + CaCl2 induced a 4-fold higher increase in plasma PYY than the control treatment did. Oral administration of a calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) agonist suppressed food intake (∼30%, P < 0.05), but CaCl2 and CaSR agonist did not suppress food intake under treatment with a PYY receptor antagonist. Furthermore, the CaSR antagonist attenuated the effect of CaCl2 on food intake. CONCLUSIONS: CaCl2 suppresses food intake partly by increasing CaSR-mediated PYY secretion in rats. Our findings could at least partially explain the satiating effect of calcium. - Effects of Repeated 131I-Meta-Iodobenzylguanidine Radiotherapy on Tumor Size and Tumor Metabolic Activity in Patients with Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumors.

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Prenatal psychological stress may increase the risk of placental abruption (PA). This study aimed to clarify the effects of psychological distress during pregnancy and exposure to stressful life events in the year before or during pregnancy on the occurrence of PA in Japanese women. METHODS: Using a nationwide prospective birth cohort study, we obtained data from 103,099 women between January 2011 and March 2014. Information on exposure to 14 stressful life events and psychological distress (Kessler 6 scale) was collected using a self-administered questionnaire during pregnancy. Clinical diagnoses of PA were obtained from medical records. A total of 80,799 women with singleton births were analyzed using logistic regression models that adjusted for possible confounders. RESULTS: PA was diagnosed in 335 (0.4%) women. There was no significant difference in the Kessler 6 score during pregnancy between the PA group and non-PA group. Exposure to the death of a child in the year before or during pregnancy was significantly associated with PA in multigravid women (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.57; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.50-8.34). A spouse's loss of employment was significantly associated with PA in parous women (aOR 3.25; 95% CI 1.40-7.56). CONCLUSIONS: This study identified the possible effects of exposure to the death of a child on PA occurrence that adjusted for important confounding factors. - Identifying a risk score for childhood obesity based on predictors identified in pregnant women and 1-year-old infants: An analysis of the data of the Hokkaido Study on Environment and Children's Health.

The primary outcome was an identified obesity index of > 20% at 6-8 yr of age. Of a total sample size of 6,846 mother-child pairs, 80% and 20% were randomly allocated to the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. For the derivation cohort, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses of data were conducted to identify the final predictors to determine the childhood obesity risk score algorithm. These included pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), child's gender, smoking during pregnancy, education, and obesity index at one yr of age. The β coefficients for categories of predictor variables were each divided by the smallest value among them. The quotient was rounded off to the integer and assigned to the risk score, and a value of zero was assigned to reference categories. A total risk score was calculated for each individual. A cutoff point ≥ 16 had 22.2% and 21.8% positive predictive values in the derivation and validation cohorts, respectively. In conclusion, the childhood obesity risk score algorithm was constructed based on generic predictors that can be easily obtained from maternal and child health handbooks. - Effectiveness and Safety of Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Low-Dose Oral Immunotherapy with Low Allergen Egg-Containing Cookies for Severe Hen's Egg Allergy: A Single-Center Analysis.

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Maternal and child undernutrition is an important issue, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Children at high risk of malnutrition should be prioritized to receive necessary interventions to minimize such risk. Several risk factors have been proposed; however, until now, there has been no appropriate evaluation method to identify these children. In sub-Saharan Africa, children commonly receive regular check-ups from community health workers. A simple and easy nutrition assessment method is therefore needed for use by semi-professional health workers. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to develop and test a practical screening tool for community use in predicting growth stunting in children under two years in rural Zambia. METHODS: Field research was conducted from July to August 2014 in Southern Province, Zambia. Two hundred and sixty-four mother-child pairs participated in the study. Anthropometric measurements were performed on all children and mothers, and all mothers were interviewed. Risk factors for the screening test were estimated by using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator analysis. After re-evaluating all participants using the new screening tool, a receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to set the cut-off value. Sensitivity and specificity were also calculated. RESULTS: The screening tool included age, weight-for-age Z-score status, birth weight, feeding status, history of sibling death, multiple birth, and maternal education level. The total score ranged from 0 to 22, and the cut-off value was eight. Sensitivity and specificity were 0.963 and 0.697 respectively. CONCLUSIONS: A screening tool was developed to predict children at high risk of malnutrition living in Zambia. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the test's validity in detecting future stunting and to investigate the effectiveness of malnutrition treatment. - Lifetime attributable risk of radiation-induced secondary cancer from proton beam therapy compared with that of intensity-modulated X-ray therapy in randomly sampled pediatric cancer patients

English, Scientific journal, To investigate the amount that radiation-induced secondary cancer would be reduced by using proton beam therapy (PBT) in place of intensity-modulated X-ray therapy (IMXT) in pediatric patients, we analyzed lifetime attributable risk (LAR) as an in silico surrogate marker of the secondary cancer after these treatments. From 242 pediatric patients with cancers who were treated with PBT, 26 patients were selected by random sampling after stratification into four categories: (i) brain, head and neck, (ii) thoracic, (iii) abdominal, and (iv) whole craniospinal (WCNS) irradiation. IMXT was replanned using the same computed tomography and region of interest. Using the dose-volume histograms (DVHs) of PBT and IMXT, the LARs of Schneider et al were calculated for the same patient. All the published dose-response models were tested for the organs at risk. Calculation of the LARs of PBT and IMXT based on the DVHs was feasible for all patients. The means ± standard deviations of the cumulative LAR difference between PBT and IMXT for the four categories were (i) 1.02 ± 0.52% (n = 7, P = 0.0021), (ii) 23.3 ± 17.2% (n = 8, P = 0.0065), (iii) 16.6 ± 19.9% (n = 8, P = 0.0497) - Computed tomography (CT)-assessed bronchodilation induced by inhaled indacaterol and glycopyrronium/indacaterol in COPD

English, Scientific journal, INTRODUCTION: While the beneficial effects of prenatal yoga have been reported in recent years, little is known about its effectiveness in pregnant Japanese women. Despite several adverse effects, ritodrine hydrochloride is frequently prescribed to suppress preterm labor in Japan, and its usage may therefore indicate cases of preterm labor. This study aimed to clarify the association between prenatal yoga and ritodrine hydrochloride use during pregnancy. METHODS: An observational study was conducted as an adjunct study by the Hokkaido unit of the Japan Environment and Children's Study. Information on prenatal yoga practice was collected using a self-questionnaire between March 21, 2012, and July 7, 2015, targeting women who had recently delivered. Ritodrine hydrochloride use was identified from medical records. A total of 2,692 women were analyzed using logistic regression models that adjusted for possible confounders. RESULTS: There were 567 (21.1%) women who practiced prenatal yoga, which was associated with a lower risk of ritodrine hydrochloride use (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 0.77; 95% CI 0.61-0.98). This was especially evident in women with a total practice duration that exceeded 900 minutes throughout their pregnancy (adjusted OR 0.54; 95% CI 0.38-0.76). A sensitivity analysis that excluded patients with threatened abortion during the study period produced similar results. CONCLUSIONS: Prenatal yoga was associated with a lower risk of ritodrine hydrochloride use, particularly in women with more than 900 minutes of practice time over the course of their pregnancy. Prenatal yoga may be a beneficial option for pregnant women in the selection of alternative therapies. - The effect of APOE ϵ4 allele on brain perfusion SPECT in late onset Alzheimer's disease by an automated program, 3DSRT

English, Scientific journal, Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is considered to be able to non-invasively quantify white matter integrity. This study aimed to use DTI to evaluate white matter integrity in non-geriatric patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who were free of antidepressant medication. DTI was performed on 19 non-geriatric patients with MDD, free of antidepressant medication, and 19 age-matched healthy subjects. Voxel-based and histogram analyses were used to compare fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) values between the two groups, using two-sample t tests. The abnormal DTI indices, if any, were tested for correlation with disease duration and severity, using Pearson product-moment correlation analysis. Voxel-based analysis showed clusters with FA decrease at the bilateral frontal white matter, anterior limbs of internal capsule, cerebellum, left putamen and right thalamus of the patients. Histogram analysis revealed lower peak position of FA histograms in the patients. FA values of the abnormal clusters and peak positions of FA histograms of the patients exhibited moderate correlation with disease duration and severity. These results suggest the implication of frontal-subcortical circuits and cerebellum in MDD, and the potential utility of FA in evaluation of brain parenchymal integrity. - Impaired integrity of the brain parenchyma in non-geriatric patients with major depressive disorder revealed by diffusion tensor imaging

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: The alterations in blood flow after rotator cuff repair remain unclear. Visualization of vascular patterns could clarify basic and clinical investigations. PURPOSE: To assess longitudinal blood flow inside the repaired cuff and the surrounding tissue after rotator cuff repair, using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. STUDY DESIGN: Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS: Fifteen patients (7 men and 8 women; mean age, 65.0 ± 9.8 years) consented to participate. The patients underwent an ultrasound scan before and 1, 2, and 3 months after surgery. Enhanced ultrasound images were recorded for 1 minute after intravenous injection of contrast reagent. Four regions of interest inside the cuff and 2 regions in the anchor hole and subacromial bursa were superimposed on the obtained images. Calculated areas under the time-intensity curves were expressed in acoustic units (AU). RESULTS: We found area-dependent differences in patterns of alteration and magnitude of blood flow inside the repaired cuff and peritendinous tissues. Vascularity in the articular distal and bursal distal region of the repaired cuff at 1 month postoperatively increased significantly compared with that at the preoperative baseline (76 vs 5 AU, P = .0037; 92 vs 7 AU, P = .043). The vascularity peaked at 1 month after surgery in the bursal area within the cuff but at 2 months in the articular area. The vascularity in the articular proximal region of the repaired cuff was significantly lower than that in the bursal proximal (P = .0046), bursal distal (P = .0183), and articular distal regions (P = .0163) 1 month after surgery. CONCLUSION: Enhancement patterns in intratendinous tissue increased at 1 or 2 months postoperatively and decreased at 3 months. We found area-dependent differences in enhancement patterns inside the repaired cuff and peritendinous tissue. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Visualization of vascularization using contrast-enhanced ultrasound could help in deciding on an appropriate repair technique or on the form of postoperative rehabilitation after rotator cuff repair. - Identification and further differentiation of subendocardial and transmural myocardial infarction by fast strain-encoded (SENC) magnetic resonance imaging at 3.0 Tesla.

English, Scientific journal, BACKGROUND: Hypoxia and decreased blood supply have been proposed as risks for tendon rupture. Visualization of the vascularity of intact and torn rotator cuffs would be useful for improving treatments for rotator cuff tear. PURPOSE: To assess vascularity inside a tendon or an adjacent rotator cuff insertion point in patients differing in age and extent of damage to the tendon. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS: Ten volunteers (all men) and 15 patients (10 men, 5 women) consented to participate in the study. Contrast agent for enhanced ultrasound was injected intravenously. Enhanced ultrasound images of the torn cuff and the contralateral shoulder were recorded for 1 minute. Four small regions of interest, the articular and bursal sides of the tendon and the medial and lateral sides of the bursa, were studied in all shoulders. RESULTS: There was a significant decrease in blood flow in the intratendinous region in elderly subjects compared with young subjects, but age had no effect on blood flow in bursal tissue. Blood flow in ruptured rotator cuffs did not differ from that in intact rotator cuffs. The intraclass correlation coefficient for intraobserver reproducibility was 0.82 (95% confidence interval: 0.77-0.86). CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this investigation were the hypovascular pattern in intratendinous tissue compared with the subacromial bursa, the age-related decrease in intratendinous vascularity, and the hypovascular pattern in the tendon, regardless of rupture of the tendon. Clarification of vascular patterns inside or around the torn ends of a rotator cuff will assist in the development of successful treatments for torn rotator cuffs. - Investigation of Annexin A5 as a Biomarker for Alzheimer's Disease Using Neuronal Cell Culture and Mouse Model

Japanese, Scientific journal, UNLABELLED: The PDQ-39 (Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39) is a specific quality-of-life (QOL) scale for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). It evaluates the dysfunction of daily living and quality of life. We developed the Japanese-translated version of PDQ-39 and examined the validity of the PDQ-39 in Japanese PD patients. SUBJECTS: A total of 156 patients with PD were studied (age 35-86 years, Hoehn-Yahr stage 1 to 4). None of the patients had dementia. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted by one trained interviewer. The PDQ-39, SF-36 (36-item short form of the Medical Outcome Study questionnaire), EQ5D (Euro Qol), and NAS-J (Nottingham Adjustment Scale Japanese version) were used for evaluation. The attending physician of each patient rated the patient's condition by using the UPDRS (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale). RESULTS: Exploratory factor analysis, Cronbach alpha, and construct validity were fair, and there were significant correlations between the results of the PDQ-39 and the corresponding parts of the UPDRS and SF-36, and the Hoehn-Yahr stage, respectively. CONCLUSION: The Japanese version of the PDQ-39 is valuable for evaluating the QOL of Japanese patients with PD. Results of comparison of PDQ-39 with other scales of the QOL such as NAS-J suggest the possibility that acceptance of the disease and feelings of self-achievement improve the QOL of patients with Parkinson's disease. - Altered myocardial flow reserve and endothelial function late after Kawasaki disease

English, Scientific journal - Parameter Estimation for Item Response Theory in Quality of Life Questionnaires
ITO Yoichi, OHASHI Yasuo
Japanese Journal of Biometrics, 23, 1, 3, 26, The Biometric Society of Japan, 30 Sep. 2002
Japanese, Item Response Theory (IRT) is a promising concept for constructing and calibrating health related quality of life questionnaires. The most popular IRT model is the two-parameter logistic model, and its parameters are often estimated by the Marginal Maximum Likelihood method (MML). However, performance of estimation by MML is poor in a small sample, such as severe or rare disease patients. The purpose of this study was to propose a Bayesian method for improving the performance and to compare the precision and accuracy of estimates by different methods with a simulation. In the simulation, item responses were generated according to the two-parameter logistic model. The estimates obtained using a MML Program (MULTILOG) and a Bayesian program written in this study were compared with respect to the precision and accuracy. The proposed method could improve the performance about difficulty parameters using more than 100 individuals and 10 items. Though that about discrimination parameters was still poor. For example, 137 patients received the Parkinson's disease specific questionnaire (PDQ-39) and a generic one (SF-36); and we calibrated items of physical functioning in these questionnaire simultaneously. It was shown that half of the PDQ-39 items could measure the ability of patients at a little bit high level of physical functioning more efficiently than SF-36. - Quantitative analysis of regional wall motion and thickening by quantitative gated SPECT comparison with visual analysis

In the case-cohort study, costly and laborious research can be greatly saved by measuring expensive genome information only from selected subjects, not the entire cohort. However, since data observed from the target frequently includes missing values, data analysis becomes difficult. In this study, we developed a novel theoretical framework for case-cohort studies when measurements of interests are known to be missing. We also examined the application of the proposed method to large-scale genomic epidemiological studies. From results verified by numerical experiments, when the outcomes of the majority of the subjects in the cohort are missing, the sub-cohort extraction or data analysis performed by the traditional method leads bias in the effects of the interesting variable.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been expected to be highly effective and safe treatment for early stage non-small cell lung cancer, however serious radiation pneumonitis is occasionally reported. One of the risk factors may include pulmonary fibrosis, but the details have not been clarified. Therefore, in this study, we examined a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in TGFb1 gene, para- TGFb1, or inflammation-related gene observed in the white and the black group in that a correlation with an onset risk of radiation pneumonitis after SBRT. As a result, it was revealed that a history of steroid administratoin, mean dose of normal lung）, and SNIPs of rs1801270 or rs1800470 were correlated to outbreak of CTCAE grade 2 or more radiation pneumonitis, and that history of steroid administratoin and SNIP of rs1800470 were correlated to outbreak of infiltrative shadow on extra-irradiated volume in CT images.

To improve cardiovascular CT imaging workflow, we developed an interpretation support system. The system can record information regarding the disease location, nature of the plaque, and presence or absence of calcification. In addition, we developed image classification method utilizing DICOMTag to help radiologists to choose images for reading. To investigate whether a newly developed support system could reduce the time taken by radiologists to read coronary artery CT images, as well as to improve diagnostic accuracy, a total of 20 studies including 10 initial and 10 follow-up CT were reviewed by two readers. As a result, the reading time for both readers was reduced by 20%. The diagnostic concordance rate for disease location was increased from 92% to 100%.
