    Abstract Protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) is avitamin K (VK) deficiency indicator in neonates. However, PIVKA-II detection frequency in neonatal blood at birth and the correlation between PIVKA-II and gestational age are unclear. We retrospectively analyzed infants admitted to our institution between June 1, 2018, and March 31, 2022, whose clinical and PIVKA-II data were available, and classified them into preterm and term infant groups. Overall incidence of PIVKA-II-positive cases (≥ 50 mAU/mL) was 42.8%, including 0.6% apparent VK deficiency (≥ 5000 mAU/mL), 3.1% experimental VK deficiency (1000-4999 mAU/mL), and 10.7% latent VK deficiency (200-999 mAU/mL) cases. Incidence of PIVKA-II-positive cases was significantly higher in the term group than in the preterm group (49.4% vs. 29.7%, p < 0.001). Gestational age correlated with PIVKA-II levels (r

    Abstract Background: Prior meta-analyses showed that treatment with cilostazol, with or without aspirin, significantly reduced the incidence of recurrent ischemic stroke, occurrence of hemorrhagic stroke, and frequency of other serious vascular adverse events.
    Methods: This review highlights the value of the randomized controlled trial (RCT) by Toyoda
    Results: Patients on dual therapy consisting of cilostazol/aspirin or cilostazol/clopidogrel had significantly lower frequencies of recurrent stroke. However, there were significant differences in the incidence of attendant hemorrhagic complications utilizing mono or dual therapy.
    Conclusion: This RCT demonstrated the safety of dual therapy, consisting of cilostazol/aspirin or cilostazol/ clopidogrel, in preventing secondary ischemic stroke in a high-risk Japanese population. Further studies are required to generalize these findings to other patient populations worldwide.

    Abstract Abstract Protein induced by vitamin K absence or antagonist-II (PIVKA-II) is avitamin K (VK) deficiency indicator in neonates. However, PIVKA-II detection frequency in neonatal blood at birth and the correlation between PIVKA-II and gestational age are unclear. We retrospectively analyzed infants admitted to our institution between June 1, 2018, and March 31, 2022, whose clinical and PIVKA-II data were available, and classified them into preterm and term infant groups. Overall incidence of PIVKA-II-positive cases (≥ 50 mAU/mL) was 42.8%, including 0.6% apparent VK deficiency (≥ 5000 mAU/mL), 3.1% experimental VK deficiency (1000–4999 mAU/mL), and 10.7% latent VK deficiency (200–999 mAU/mL) cases. Incidence of PIVKA-II-positive cases was significantly higher in the term group than in the preterm group (49.4% vs. 29.7%, p < 0.001). Gestational age correlated with PIVKA-II levels (r2 = 0.117, p < 0.0001). Median serum PIVKA-II levels and incidence of PIVKA-II-positive cases (≥ 50 mAU/mL, 16.4%) were lower at 5 days after birth than at birth, possibly reflecting the postnatal VK prophylaxis impact. Only one infant was diagnosed with VK deficiency bleeding (PIVKA-II levels, at birth: 10,567 mAU/mL; at day 5: 2418 mAU/mL). Thus, serum PIVKA-II levels after birth weakly correlated with gestational age. VK deficiency was more common in term infants than in preterm infants.

    Abstract Lewy body disease (LBD) is characterized by the appearance of Lewy neurites and Lewy bodies, which are predominantly composed of α-synuclein. Notably, the cardiac plexus (CP) is one of the main targets of LBD research. Although previous studies have reported obvious differences in the frequency of Lewy body pathology (LBP) in the CP, none of them have confirmed whether LBP preferably appears in any part of the CP. Thus, we aimed to clarify the emergence and/or propagation of LBP in the CP. In this study, 263 consecutive autopsy cases of patients aged ≥50 years were included, with one region per case selected from three myocardial perfusion areas (MPAs) and subjected to proteinase K and then immunohistochemically stained with anti-α-synuclein antibodies to assess LBP. We stained all three MPAs in 17 cases with low-density LBP and observed the actual distribution of LBP. LBP were identified in the CP in 20.2% (53/263) of patients. Moreover, we found that LBP may appear in only one region of MPAs, mainly in the young-old group (35.3% (6/17) of patients). These findings suggest that it is possible to underestimate LBP in the CP, especially in the young-old group, by restricting the search to only one of the three MPAs.

    Abstract Accurate prediction of drug-induced renal toxicity is necessary for development of safer drugs for patients. Cellular assay systems that recapitulate physiologically relevant microenvironments have been proposed for correct estimation of drug responses in the human body. However, establishment of such assay systems for accurate prediction of renal toxicity is challenging because of the lack of readily available in vitro assay systems. In this study, we investigated the cellular response to fluid shear stress, which is a characteristic of the environment in the kidney proximal tubules, using microfluidic devices. The global gene expression profiles of human primary proximal tubule cells under the fluidic conditions revealed upregulation of MATE2-K and activation of Nrf2 signaling in response to fluid shear stress. Network and cell biological analysis additionally showed that expression of MATE2-K is regulated by Nrf2 signaling. These results strongly suggest that fluid shear stress is involved in the expression and maintenance of function of tissue-specific drug transporters in the proximal tubule, where the cells are exposed to continuous shear stress by primary urine. Furthermore, the microfluidic culture of human proximal tubules was demonstrated to be a useful system to analyze the regulatory mechanisms of gene expression in physiologically relevant cell conditions.

    Abstract Background: Non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) have been widely used to prevent stroke in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) patients. Stringent monitoring is not required for NOACs, albeit dose adjustments are needed based on specific patient factors, such as renal function, body weight and age, or concomitant medications. We investigated the NOAC dosing patterns and evaluated the predictors of the non-standardized dose reduction (NSDR).
    Methods: A total of 2452 newly diagnosed NVAF patients were consecutively recruited from secondary- and tertiary-care hospitals between 2012 and 2017. The NOAC doses were classified as one of three: (1) full dose; (2) standardized dose reduction (SDR); or (3) NSDR, consistent with Japanese package inserts.
    Results: Overall, 66.8% (N=1637) of the NVAF patients (median age: 69 years, interquartile range [IQR]: 60-76; 70% male; median CHA
    Conclusions: Nearly half of the NOAC dose reductions in our registry were deemed "non-standardized," which were seen mostly in patients at significant risk for ischemic stroke. The physician's apprehension regarding excessive bleeding under NOAC use should be appropriately balanced with concern for an increased risk of embolic events.

    Abstract X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) was measured at energies around the N K-edge of the pyrimidine-containing nucleotides, cytidine 5'-monophosphate (CMP), 2'-deoxythymidine 5'-monophosphate (dTMP), and uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP), in aqueous solutions and in dried films under various pH conditions. The features of resonant excitations below the N K-edge in the XANES spectra for CMP, dTMP, and UMP changed depending on the pH of the solutions. The spectral change thus observed is systematically explained by the chemical shift of the core-levels of N atoms in the nucleobase moieties caused by structural changes due to protonation or deprotonation at different proton concentrations. This interpretation is supported by the results of theoretical calculations using density functional theory for the corresponding nucleobases in the neutral and protonated or deprotonated forms.
