    Abstract Introduction: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is strongly recommended as a medical treatment to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients with heart failure (HF); however, participation rates in CR are low compared with other evidence-based treatments. One reason for this is the geographical distance between patients' homes and hospitals. To address this issue, we developed an integrated telerehabilitation platform, RH-01, for home-based CR. We hypothesised that using the RH-01 platform for home-based CR would demonstrate non-inferiority compared with traditional centre-based CR.
    Methods and analysis: The E-REHAB trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RH-01 for home-based CR compared with traditional centre-based CR for patients with HF. This clinical trial will be conducted under a prospective, randomised, controlled and non-inferiority design with a primary focus on HF patients. Further, to assess the generalisability of the results in HF to other cardiovascular disease (CVD), the study will also include patients with other CVDs. The trial will enrol 108 patients with HF and 20 patients with other CVD. Eligible HF patients will be randomly assigned to either traditional centre-based CR or home-based CR in a 1:1 fashion. Patients with other CVDs will not be randomised, as safety assessment will be the primary focus. The intervention group will receive a 12-week programme conducted two or three times per week consisting of a remotely supervised home-based CR programme using RH-01, while the control group will receive a traditional centre-based CR programme. The primary endpoint of this trial is change in 6 min walk distance.
    Ethics and dissemination: The conduct of the study has been approved by an institutional review board at each participating site, and all patients will provide written informed consent before entry. The report of the study will be disseminated via scientific fora, including peer-reviewed publications and presentations at conferences.

    Abstract The introduction of vitamin E-blended ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (VE-UHMWPE) for use in prosthetic components of hip implants has resulted in the production of implants that have excellent mechanical properties and substantially less adverse cellular responses. Given the importance of a biological response to wear in the survival of a prosthesis, we generated wear debris from UHMWPE that had been prepared with different concentrations of vitamin E of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 1% and evaluated their biological reaction in vitro and in vivo. All types of VE-UHMWPE debris promoted a significantly lower expression of Tnf-α in murine peritoneal macrophages than that induced by conventional UHMWPE debris. However, levels of Tnf-α were not significantly different among the macrophages that were stimulated with VE-UHMWPE wear at the concentrations tested. The ability of wear debris to induce inflammatory osteolysis was assessed in a mouse calvarial osteolysis model. The expressions of Tnf-α, Il-6, and Rankl in granulomatous tissue formed around the wear debris were significantly reduced in mice that had been implanted with 0.3%VE-UHMWPE debris as compared to the corresponding values for mice that had been implanted with UHMWPE debris. Consistent with this finding, 0.3%VE-UHMWPE debris showed the lowest osteolytic activity, as evidenced by the reduced bone resorption area, the degree of infiltration of inflammatory cells and the TRAP staining area. Our results suggested that a 0.3% vitamin E concentration is the most appropriate concentration for use in prosthetic components with a reduced adverse cellular response for prolonging the life-span of the implant.

    Abstract Prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) is a major prostanoid produced under inflammatory situations. There have been controversial reports showing contractile or relaxant effect of PGE₂ on vascular tone in various types of blood vessels. Thus, it is still elusive whether and how PGE₂ modulates vascular tone. We here assessed the effects of PGE₂ on vascular contractility using different types of vasculatures isolated form rat. In endothelium-denuded aortas and mesenteric arteries, PGE₂ (1 nM-10 μM) concentration-dependently enhanced the contraction elicited by K(+) (35.4 mM) or norepinephrine (10 nM). In pulmonary arteries, PGE₂ did not alter the both-induced contraction. Tail arteries were relaxed by a low dose of PGE₂ (1-100 nM), but this response shifted to contraction by the higher dose of PGE₂ (300 nM-10 μM). There are four types of PGE₂ receptors EP1-4. RT-PCR showed that aortas and mesenteric arteries abundantly expressed EP3, while tail arteries abundantly expressed EP4. We next revealed that selective EP3 agonism enhanced the contraction in mesenteric arteries, whereas EP4 agonism induced relaxation in tail arteries. Taken together, PGE₂ causes different contractile responses depending on the type of vascular bed. This phenomenon may be due to the difference in expression pattern and activity of EP receptors.

    Abstract A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of bladder cancer identified a genetic marker rs8102137 within the 19q12 region as a novel susceptibility variant. This marker is located upstream of the CCNE1 gene, which encodes cyclin E, a cell-cycle protein. We performed genetic fine-mapping analysis of the CCNE1 region using data from two bladder cancer GWAS (5,942 cases and 10,857 controls). We found that the original GWAS marker rs8102137 represents a group of 47 linked SNPs (with r(2) ≥ 0.7) associated with increased bladder cancer risk. From this group, we selected a functional promoter variant rs7257330, which showed strong allele-specific binding of nuclear proteins in several cell lines. In both GWASs, rs7257330 was associated only with aggressive bladder cancer, with a combined per-allele OR = 1.18 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.09-1.27, P = 4.67 × 10(-5)] versus OR = 1.01 (95% CI, 0.93-1.10, P = 0.79) for nonaggressive disease, with P = 0.0015 for case-only analysis. Cyclin E protein expression analyzed in 265 bladder tumors was increased in aggressive tumors (P = 0.013) and, independently, with each rs7257330-A risk allele (P(trend) = 0.024). Overexpression of recombinant cyclin E in cell lines caused significant acceleration of cell cycle. In conclusion, we defined the 19q12 signal as the first GWAS signal specific for aggressive bladder cancer. Molecular mechanisms of this genetic association may be related to cyclin E overexpression and alteration of cell cycle in carriers of CCNE1 risk variants. In combination with established bladder cancer risk factors and other somatic and germline genetic markers, the CCNE1 variants could be useful for inclusion into bladder cancer risk prediction models.

    Abstract Purpose: The verification method of the geometry agreement between a light field and/or a laser coordinate and treatment beam should be easy and quick. In this presentation, we propose a novel QA method by using both kV- and MV-CBCT for kV-IGRT system. This method confirms the temporal unchanging the agreement of geometry in the kV-IGRT system with the treatment beam geometry.
    Methods: 1) MV-flexmap: Sequential MV-projection images were acquired during gantry rotation by iViewGT (Elekta) and MV-CBCT was reconstructed by in-house software with a flexmap correction. The flexmap is displacement of gantry and detector panel related with gantry sag. The geometric change affects the deranging reconstructed image. To evaluate how much displacement of EPID panel and gantry was detectable, the images of 8mm diameter ball-bearing (BB) located at the radiation isocenter were reconstructed with improper Flexmap.2) A comparison between the kV-CBCT and the MV-CBCT: The kV-CBCT was provided by X-ray Volume image (XVI) system (Elekta). To confirm the agreement for the geometry between kV-IGRT system and treatment beam, the kV-CBCTs of BB are compared with that of MV-CBCTs.
    Results: The flexmaps were modified to (b)1mm / (c)3mm shifted to the rotation direction and (d)3mm to the rotation axis. The MV-CBCT were reconstructed with the correct flexmap and with incorrect flexmap (b), (c) and (d). The geometric confirmation for MV-CBCT was done by comparison of the width and center of the BB on the MV-CBCT. The discrepancy of center between kV-CBCT and MV-CBCT was less than 1mm.
    Conclusions: Less than 1mm of the geometrical changing to rotation direction for MV-detector panel could be recognized by reconstructed images of BB. Using kV- and MV-CBCT enable us to perform the simple comparison for geometrical non-idealities between the kV-IGRT system and the treatment beam. Dr. K. Nakagawa received research grant from Elekta.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine a planning target volume (PTV) margin for lung cancer patients using a four-dimensional cone-beam CT (4D CBCT) acquired during volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) treatment.
    Methods: A VMAT plan for lung cancer patients was created by Pinnacle v9.0 (Philips) treatment planning system (TPS), where the gross target volume (GTVs) in each breathing phase was delineated by using 4D-planning CT scan (TOSHIBA and ANZAI). The VMAT treatment was performed with a stereotactic body frame after the registration using Elekta X-ray volume imaging (XVI) unit. Simultaneous cone-beam projection images were acquired for 3 or 4 fractions of 10 patients. The in-treatment 4D CBCT was reconstructed by dividing into four breathing phase bins. A total of 38 in-treatment 4D-CBCT sets were exported to Pinnacle TPS. The isocenter of in-treatment 4D CBCT was matched with that of 4D-planning CT. The tumor motion during treatment was manually tracked on in-treatment 4D CBCT, and the center-of-mass (COM) location of the tumor was estimated. Analyzing the tumor regions observed by in-treatment 4D CBCT, a PTV margin in our system was derived.
    Results: The average difference in COM location of the tumor was less than 1mm for all directions, while the standard deviations (SD's) were about 1.3mm, 1.6mm, and 2.1mm for the lateral, the vertical, and the longitudinal directions, respectively. The large discrepancy more than 3mm was observed for one patient. The required PTV margin was about 3-4mm for the lateral and the vertical directions, whereas it was about 5mm for the longitudinal direction.
    Conclusions: The uncertainties of the tumor motion caused by respiration were observed by in-treatment 4D CBCT images. It was feasible to determine the PTV margin from 4D volume images. K. Nakagawa receives research funding from Elekta.

    Abstract Heptakis(6-O-triisopropylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TIPS-β-CD) effectively formed inclusion complexes with oxindole and its derivatives as guests in nonpolar solvents. Their inclusion complex formation was remarkably affected by the position and size of substituents on the oxindole ring of the guest. The Knoevenagel condensation reaction of these oxindoles with cinnamaldehyde to give 3-alkylideneoxindoles was accelerated with enhanced E/Z selectivities in the presence of catalytic amounts of TIPS-β-CD.

    Abstract Apolipoprotein E (Apo E) has been shown to be closely associated with beta amyloid in Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. In the present study, we have found strong Apo E immunoreactivity in the amyloid cores of senile plaques (SP) in the various brain regions examined. However, Apo E immunoreactivity in diffuse plaques varied distinctly and was strong within numerous cerebellar and cortical diffuse plaques, and absent or very weak within diffuse plaques in the striatum/thalamus. This distribution of Apo E immunoreactivity in SP correlates with the occurrence of small amounts of fibrillar amyloid in diffuse plaques that has been described in the cerebral and cerebellar cortex, but not in the basal ganglia. These results show that Apo E may be associated with sites of beta amyloid fibril formation in diffuse plaques in AD brain, but they also suggest that factors other than Apo E, probably local, may influence fibrillogenesis.
