    Abstract The usefulness of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for carotid artery stenosis has been established even in the era of endovascular treatment. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3D-CTA) are used for preoperative evaluation of CEA; however, contrast agents cannot be used in patients with renal dysfunction or contrast agent allergy. Since the introduction of a three-dimensional image analysis software, SYNAPSE VINCENT (Fujifilm, Tokyo, Japan) in February 2016, we initially fused cervical CT, carotid three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography, and carotid plaque imaging using 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate carotid artery stenosis in patients with renal dysfunction. Since then, we have gradually accumulated several cases, and at present, this fusion imaging is our first choice for preoperative evaluation of CEA instead of DSA or 3D-CTA. This evaluation method has many advantages over DSA and 3D-CTA, including the fact that it does not require contrast media. We report its usefulness, limitations, and cautions.

    Abstract Since subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) due to the re-rupture of cerebral aneurysms severely worsens the prognosis, an accurate initial diagnosis is essential. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) usually detect aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). However, in rare cases, its identification on CT- and MRI scans is difficult, and a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination is required. We present preoperative imaging and intraoperative findings in patients whose aSAH detection necessitated a CSF examination. Of 225 aSAH patients who underwent preoperative imaging studies at our institution between April 2010 and August 2019, 3 females (1.3%, mean age 57.3 years) harbored undetectable aSAH due to the rupture of an internal carotid artery-posterior communicating artery (ICA-PcomA) aneurysm. The aneurysmal orientation was inferolateral. Intraoperatively, the anterior petroclinoid ligament hampered the detection of the aneurysms that firmly adhered to the surrounding arachnoid membrane. Sustained arterial pulsation and successive minor hemorrhage can lead to the gradual adhesion of an ICA-PcomA aneurysm to the surrounding arachnoid membrane and explain their atypical rupture undetectable on imaging studies and the development of acute subdural hematoma without SAH.

    Abstract The clinical aspects of persistent bacteremia (PB) caused by gram-negative rods (GNRs) in terms of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and PB clearance status are unclear. This secondary analysis of a retrospective cohort study investigated differences in PB caused by Enterobacterales and glucose non-fermentative GNRs (NF-GNRs) based on AMR and PB clearance. We retrospectively surveyed medical records at Tohoku University Hospital. Patients for whom blood cultures were performed between January 2012 and December 2021 were recruited. PB cases were grouped based on AMR and PB clearance; the characteristics of PB due to each bacterial pathogen were examined. The main outcome variable was mortality. The late (30-90-day) mortality rate was significantly higher in the multidrug-resistant (MDR) group than in the non-MDR group for Enterobacterales. However, no significant difference was noted in mortality rates between NF-GNRs with and without AMR. Mortality rates tended to be higher in the non-PB-clearance group than in the clearance group for both Enterobacterales and NF-GNRs. Since the mortality rate was higher in the MDR group in the case of Enterobacterales PB, more careful management is necessary for this condition. Follow-up blood cultures and confirming the clearance of PB are useful for improving the survival rate.

    Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread rapidly worldwide. To prevent its spread, mRNA-based vaccines made by Pfizer/BioNTech (BNT162b1) and Moderna (mRNA-1273) have been widely used, including in Japan. Various adverse events have been reported following the COVID-19 mRNA vaccination, with differences observed among individuals. However, analyses of the genetic background associated with the susceptibility to side effects have been limited. In the present study, we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for self-reported adverse events of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in 4545 Japanese individuals and identified 14 associated loci. Among these, 6p21 was associated with 37.5 °C or higher fever, 38 °C or higher fever, and muscle pain. HLA allele association analysis revealed that various HLA alleles were associated with the adverse effects; HLA-DQA1*03:01 and HLA-A*11:01 were more reliably associated with the adverse effects. Our results may enable the preparation and management of adverse effects by identifying the susceptibility to these adverse events. Furthermore, we obtained valuable data that may lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms of action of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

    Abstract The envelope of Escherichia coli contains approximately 100 different species of lipoproteins, most of which are localized to the inner leaflet of the outer membrane. The localization of lipoprotein (Lol) system, consisting of five Lol proteins, is responsible for the trafficking of lipoproteins to the outer membrane. LolCDE binds to lipoproteins destined for the outer membrane and transfers them to the periplasmic chaperone LolA. Although the cryo-EM structures of E. coli LolCDE have been reported, the mechanisms by which outer membrane lipoproteins are transferred to LolA remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the interaction between LolCDE and lipoproteins using site-specific photo-crosslinking. We introduced a photo-crosslinkable amino acid into different locations across the four helices which form the central lipoprotein-binding cavity, and identified domains that crosslink with peptidoglycan-associated lipoprotein (Pal) in vivo. Using one of the derivatives containing the photo-crosslinkable amino acid, we developed an in vitro system to analyze the binding of lipoproteins to LolCDE. Our results indicate that compound 2, a LolCDE inhibitor, does not inhibit the binding of lipoproteins to LolCDE, but rather promotes the dissociation of bound lipoproteins from LolCDE.
