    Abstract In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), controlling serum uric acid (SUA) and blood glucose levels is important. Moreover, sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors decrease SUA levels by accelerating urinary uric acid excretion. We investigated the effect of baseline urinary glucose levels on the relationship between SGLT2 inhibitors and SUA levels. We conducted a retrospective observational study using the electronic medical records of patients with T2DM of Kindai University Nara Hospital (April 2013 to March 2022). We divided the patients into two groups according to their baseline urinary glucose levels: the N-UG group, which included patients with negative urinary glucose strip test results (-), and the P-UG group, which included patients with positive urinary glucose strip test results (± or more). The changes in SUA levels before and after SGLT2 inhibitor administration were investigated. For comparison, the changes in SUA levels before and after the prescription of antidiabetic agents, excluding SGLT2 inhibitors, were also investigated. Our results revealed that SGLT2 inhibitors significantly decreased the SUA levels in patients in the N-UG group but tended to decrease its levels in those in the P-UG group. Regardless of the urinary glucose status at baseline, the administration of SGLT2 inhibitors may be useful for patients with T2DM to prevent the complications of hyperuricemia.

    Abstract With the development of information technology, patient information is stored as electronic data, and huge amounts of such data are collected every day. Such a collection compiled over the course of clinical practice is called real-world data and is expected to be used for evaluating drug efficacy and safety. Real-world data such as health insurance association-based administrative claims databases, pharmacy-based dispensing databases, and spontaneous reporting system databases are mainly used in pharmaceutical research. Among them, claims databases are used for various observational studies such as studies on nationwide prescription trends, pharmacovigilance studies, and studies on rare diseases due to their large sample size. Although the nature of omics data is different from that of real-world data, it has become accessible on cloud platforms and are being used to broaden the scope of research in recent years. In this paper, we introduce a method for generating and further testing hypotheses through integrated analysis of real-world data and omics data, with a focus on administrative claims databases.

    Abstract The association between statins and open-angle glaucoma (OAG) remains controversial. This study investigated the relationship between statins and OAG in Japanese patients with dyslipidemia using the Japanese administrative claims database. A nested case-control study using two models was conducted using the JMDC claims database (01/2005-01/2020). The onset of OAG: index date was defined as the diagnosis of glaucoma, prescription of anti-glaucoma drugs, or surgery of glaucoma. For each case, a maximum of 10 age-, sex-, and calendar year/month-matched controls were randomly selected by risk-set sampling with replacement. The number of statin prescriptions during the exposure assessment period, which was identified as the 12-month (model 1) or 24-month (model 2) periods prior to the index date, was used as an indicator for statin exposure. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using conditional logistic regression analyses. We identified 375,373 patients with newly diagnosed dyslipidemia. Of these, 6180 cases and 61,792 controls (model 1) and 4153 cases and 41,522 controls (model 2) were selected. Statin use was not identified as a significant risk factor for OAG (model 1: aOR 0.98, 95% CI 0.93-1.03, model 2: aOR 0.97, 95% CI 0.91-1.04). Compared with nonexposure, short-term exposure (< 2 years) to statins was not related to an increased risk of OAG in the Japanese working-age population with dyslipidemia.

    Abstract Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly used for the prevention or treatment of gastric ulcers, but they can induce hypomagnesemia. Little is known about the onset duration and risk factors related to patient characteristics of this adverse event in Japanese patients. Therefore, we analyzed the time-to-onset of PPI-induced hypomagnesemia and evaluated the association between hypomagnesemia and PPIs using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database. We analyzed hypomagnesemia cases between 2004 and 2021. The time-to-onset analysis was performed using the Weibull distribution, and the adjusted reporting odds ratio (aROR) or 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was calculated using a multiple logistic regression analysis. The analysis database comprised 236,525 cases, with 188 cases associated with hypomagnesemia. The median onset duration (interquartile range) of PPI-induced hypomagnesemia was 99.0 (51.8-285.5 ) days, which is considered the random failure type. The multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that hypomagnesemia is significantly associated with male sex (aROR, 95% CI: 1.66, 1.23-2.25) , age < 60 (1.59, 1.14-2.21) , estimated body-mass index (eBMI) (0.94, 0.91-0.98) , PPIs (1.66, 1.18-2.30) , and the interaction of age (<60)*PPIs (1.58, 1.13-2.19) . However, diuretics were not significantly associated with hypomagnesemia. Our results suggest that serum magnesium levels should be measured regularly regardless of the duration of PPI use, especially in patients with male sex, age < 60, or low BMI. These findings will assist health professionals in the adequate use of PPIs. These findings need to be evaluated by cohort studies and long-term clinical investigations.

    Abstract Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a cell surface component of Gram-negative bacteria, activates innate immunity. Its active principle is the terminal glycolipid lipid A. Acetobacter pasteurianus is a Gram-negative bacterium used in the fermentation of traditional Japanese black rice vinegar (kurozu). In this study, we focused on A. pasteurianus lipid A, which is a potential immunostimulatory component of kurozu. The active principle structure of A. pasteurianus lipid A has not yet been identified. Herein, we first systematically synthesized three types of A. pasteurianus lipid As containing a common and unique tetrasaccharide backbone. We developed an efficient method for constructing the 2-trehalosamine skeleton utilizing borinic acid-catalyzed glycosylation to afford 1,1'-α,α-glycoside in high yield and stereoselectivity. A common tetrasaccharide intermediate with an orthogonal protecting group pattern was constructed via [2+2] glycosylation. After introducing various fatty acids, all protecting groups were removed to achieve the first chemical synthesis of three distinct types of A. pasteurianus lipid As. After evaluating their immunological function using both human and murine cell lines, we identified the active principles of A. pasteurianus LPS. We also found the unique anomeric structure of A. pasteurianus lipid A contributes to its high chemical stability.

    Abstract Objective: Pancreatic cancer-related mortality is increasing worldwide, and prevention methods and effective novel therapies are required. In pancreatic cancer, sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLT) are involved in glucose uptake. This study aimed to clarify the association between SGLT2 inhibitors and pancreatic cancer development.
    Materials and methods: A nested case-control study was conducted using the JMDC administrative claims database (January 2005 to June 2020). Patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were included, and cases were defined as patients who developed pancreatic cancer. Patients with outcomes were randomly matched to a maximum of 20 controls according to age (± 5 years), sex, and calendar date (month and year) of the first T2DM diagnosis through risk set sampling.
    Results: Of the 181,107 T2DM patients, 363 cases and 7,043 controls were selected with 14 and 457 patients prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors, respectively. Cumulative administration of SGLT2 inhibitors for > 180 days was significantly inversely associated with the development of pancreatic cancer (adjusted odds ratio: 0.58, 95% confidence interval: 0.31 - 0.99).
    Conclusion: SGLT2 inhibitors may reduce the risk of developing pancreatic cancer in T2DM patients. The number of patients over 65 years of age was small in this study due to the nature of the data source. Further studies with larger sample sizes including older patients are needed.

    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the risk of hemorrhage in concomitant therapy with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and class IV antiarrhythmic drugs.
    Materials and methods: First, disproportionality analysis (DPA) was performed using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database to investigate the risk of hemorrhage with DOACs. Second, a cohort study was performed using electronic medical record data to confirm the results of the JADER analysis.
    Results: In the JADER analysis, hemorrhage was significantly associated with treatment with edoxaban and verapamil (reporting odds ratio = 1.66; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.04 - 2.67). The cohort study revealed that hemorrhage incidence significantly differed between the verapamil-treated group and the bepridil-treated group, with a higher risk for hemorrhage in the verapamil group (log-rank test: p < 0.001). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model also showed that the verapamil and DOAC combination was significantly associated with hemorrhage events compared with the bepridil and DOAC combination (hazard ratio (HR): 2.87, 95% CI: 1.17 - 7.07, p = 0.022). Furthermore, creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥ 50 mL/min was significantly associated with hemorrhage events (HR: 2.72, 95% CI: 1.03 - 7.18, p = 0.043), and verapamil was significantly associated with hemorrhage in patients with Ccr ≥ 50 mL/min (HR: 3.58, 95% CI: 1.36 - 9.39, p = 0.010) but not in patients with Ccr < 50 mL/min.
    Conclusion: Verapamil increases the risk of hemorrhage in patients on DOACs. Dose adjustment of DOACs based on renal function may prevent hemorrhage when verapamil is concomitantly administered.

    Abstract Background: Statins are expected to have beneficial effects on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD); however, evidence remains insufficient.
    Objective: In this study, we aim to investigate the association between statin adherence and NAFLD development.
    Methods: We conducted a nested case-control study of statin users using the Japan Medical Data Center administrative claims database (January 2005 to January 2020). Individuals who developed NAFLD were designated as cases. For each case, we randomly selected a maximum of 10 controls using risk set sampling. Good adherence was defined as the proportion of days covered (PDC) of ≥0.80. Higher intensity was defined as the median or higher of a cumulative defined daily dose (cDDD) per day covered by statin prescription. Conditional logistic regression analysis was used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
    Results: In this study, 253 383 patients with the first statin prescription were identified. Of them, 7080 were selected and matched to 70 734 controls. The medians of PDC and intensity were 0.88 (interquartile range [IQR], 0.61-0.96) and 0.32 (IQR, 0.25-0.50) cDDD/day, respectively. Good adherence was significantly associated with a reduced risk of NAFLD development (adjusted OR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.78-0.86). Higher intensity was not significantly associated with a reduced risk of NAFLD development (adjusted OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.97-1.08).
    Conclusion and relevance: Good adherence to statins is associated with a reduced risk of NAFLD development, regardless of the statin intensity. Appropriate statin therapy could reduce the risk of NAFLD development.

    Abstract Objective: To identify the trends in tolvaptan prescription and the association between aging and tolvaptan-induced hypernatremia.
    Materials and methods: A health insurance claims database and a spontaneous adverse drug reaction database were used.
    Results: Of all patients who had been prescribed tolvaptan, the proportion of patients aged 60 - 79 years and ≥ 80 years was consistent at ~ 40%. Moreover, the prescription frequency of tolvaptan increased over time for patients in the same age groups. The adjusted reporting odds ratio of tolvaptan-induced hypernatremia was 5.54 (95% confidence interval, 3.31 - 9.25) in patients aged ≥ 60 years from among all patients and 2.09 (95% confidence interval, 1.59 - 2.75) in those aged ≥ 80 years from among those aged ≥ 60 years.
    Conclusion: It may be necessary to be aware of hypernatremia in elderly patients who are expected to have increased prescriptions of tolvaptan.

    Abstract Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for the development of stroke and silent cerebral infarct (SCI). Additionally, AF is independently associated with neurological disorders, including cognitive impairment and dementia. Although oral anticoagulants (OACs) are used to reduce the risk of development of stroke and SCI in patients with AF, it is unclear whether OACs reduce the risk of dementia.
    Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between OAC use and dementia in relatively young patients with AF. Moreover, the impact of medication adherence on the association between OAC use and the risk of dementia was examined.
    Patients and methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted using a large claims database-Japan Medical Data Center, Inc. (JMDC)-from which newly diagnosed patients with AF younger than 75 years of age were identified. We analyzed medication adherence using the medication possession ratio (MPR). The dementia risk was compared between the OAC and non-OAC groups using Cox proportional hazards regression analysis and the Kaplan-Meier method after propensity score matching. Similarly, the MPR-classified and non-OAC groups were also compared.
    Results: OAC administration was not associated with the risk of dementia in the entire cohort (hazard ratio [HR] 0.66, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.40-1.08; p = 0.098); however, OAC administration in patients with an MPR ≥90% was significantly associated with a lower risk of dementia (HR 0.45, 95% CI 0.25-0.81; p = 0.008). Meanwhile, direct OAC (DOAC) and warfarin (WF) administration was not associated with the risk of dementia regardless of MPR. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a significant difference in the incidence of dementia between the MPR ≥ 90% OAC and non-OAC groups (log-rank test: p = 0.006). However, no difference was observed in the incidence of dementia between the MPR ≥ 90% WF and non-OAC groups, or between the MPR ≥ 90% DOAC and non-OAC groups.
    Conclusions: OAC administration was not associated with the risk of dementia in relatively young patients with AF; however, when limited to patients with an MPR ≥ 90%, OAC administration reduced the risk of dementia. Our results suggest that the association between OAC use and dementia should be evaluated while considering medication adherence.
